--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

that if a Compliance Certificate is not delivered when due in accordance with
such Section, then, upon the request of the Lender, Pricing Level 4 shall apply,
in each case as of the first Business Day after the date on which such
Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered and in each case
shall remain in effect until the first Business Day following the date on which
such Compliance Certificate is delivered.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this definition, (a) the
determination of the Applicable Rate for any period shall be subject to the
provisions of Section 2.09(b) and (b) the initial Applicable Rate following the
Restatement Date shall be set forth in Level 1 until the first Business Day

  (b)

The definition of “Base Rate” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement
is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“Base Rate” means for any day a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest

such day as publicly announced from time to time by the Lender as its “prime
rate,” and (c) the Eurodollar Rate plus 0.75%. The “prime rate” is a rate set by
Bank of America based upon various factors including Bank of America’s costs and
desired return, general economic conditions and other factors, and is used as a
reference point for pricing some loans, which may be priced at, above, or below
such announced rate. Any change in such prime rate announced by Bank of America
shall take effect at the opening of business on the day specified in the public
announcement of such change. For purposes of this Agreement, if the Base Rate
shall be less than 1.50% per annum, such rate shall be deemed to be 1.50% per
annum.”

Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

or successor rate, which rate is approved by the Lender, as published on the
applicable Bloomberg screen page (or such other commercially available source
providing such quotations as may be designated by the Lender from time to time)
at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two (2) Business Days prior to the
commencement of such Interest Period, for Dollar deposits (for delivery on the
first day of such Interest Period) with a term equivalent to such Interest
Period; and

(b)    for any interest calculation with respect to a Base Rate Loan on any
date, the rate per annum equal to LIBOR, at or about 11:00 a.m., London time
determined two (2) Business Days prior to such date for Dollar deposits with a
term of one (1) month commencing that day; provided that (i) to the extent a
comparable or successor rate is approved by the Lender in connection herewith,
the approved rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice;
provided, further that to the extent such market practice is not
administratively feasible for the Lender, such approved rate shall be applied in
a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Lender and (ii) if the
Eurodollar Rate shall be less than 0.75%, such rate shall be deemed to be 0.75%
for purposes of this Agreement.

preceding Business Day.

 

  (f)

Article 5 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new
Section 5.21 thereto and in connection therewith the table of contents shall be
amended to include reference to “5.21 Covered Entities”:

5.21     Covered Entities.

No Loan Party is a Covered Entity, as defined in Section 10.21.

 

  (g)

Article 10 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new
Section 10.21 thereto and in connection therewith the table of contents shall be
amended to include reference to “10.21 Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported
QFCs”:

10.21    Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.

To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or
otherwise, for any Swap Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a
QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”),
the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution
power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S.
Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit
Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan
Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws
of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the
United States):

(a)    In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a
“Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution
Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit
Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such
QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or
such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same
extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution
Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support

 

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the
laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a
Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a
proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan
Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit
Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be
exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under
the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents
were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and
remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event
affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any
QFC Credit Support.

(b)    As used in this Section 10.21, the following terms have the following
meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined
under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term
is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a
“covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with,
12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and
interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be
interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as
applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in,
and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

2.    Effectiveness; Conditions Precedent. The parties hereto agree that this
Amendment shall be effective as of the date first set above upon receipt by the
Lender of executed counterparts of this Amendment (which counterparts may be
delivered by facsimile, electronic email or other electronic means (including
PDF) with originals to follow) duly executed by the Borrower and the Guarantors.

3.    Representations and Warranties. In order to induce the Lender to enter
into this Amendment, the Borrower and the Guarantors represent and warrant to
the Lender as of the date hereof as follows:

 

  (a)

The representations and warranties made by the Borrower in Article V of the
Credit Agreement and of each Loan Party in each of the other Loan Documents to
which such Loan Party is a party are true and correct in all material respects
(other than those representations and warranties which are qualified by
materiality, which shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the
date hereof, except to the extent that such representations and warranties
expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and
warranties shall have been true and correct on and as of such date;

 

  (b)

Since the date of the most recent financial reports of the Borrower delivered
pursuant to Section 5.05(a) of the Credit Agreement, no act, event, condition or
circumstance has occurred or arisen which, singly or in the aggregate with one
or more other acts, events, occurrences or conditions (whenever occurring or
arising), has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect (as defined in the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment); and

 

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  (c)

This Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower
and the Guarantors and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such
parties, except as may be limited by general principles of equity or by the
effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally.

4.    Entire Agreement. This Amendment, together with all the Loan Documents
(collectively, the “Relevant Documents”), sets forth the entire understanding
and agreement of the parties hereto in relation to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes any prior negotiations and agreements among the parties relating to
such subject matter. No promise, condition, representation or warranty, express
or implied, not set forth in the Relevant Documents shall bind any party hereto,
and no such party has relied on any such promise, condition, representation or
warranty. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that, except as otherwise
expressly stated in the Relevant Documents, no representations, warranties or
commitments, express or implied, have been made by any party to the other in
relation to the subject matter hereof or thereof. None of the terms or
conditions of this Amendment may be changed, modified, waived or canceled orally
or otherwise, except in writing and in accordance with Section 10.01 of the
Credit Agreement.

5.    Full Force and Effect of Amendment. Except as hereby specifically amended,
modified or supplemented, the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents are
hereby confirmed and ratified in all respects and shall be and remain in full
force and effect according to their respective terms.

6.    Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in as many counterparts as
necessary or convenient, and by the different parties on separate counterparts
each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original but all such
counterparts shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

7.    Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. To the extent that the Lender
has greater rights or remedies under federal law, whether as a national bank or
otherwise, this paragraph shall not be deemed to deprive the Lender of such
rights and remedies as may be available under federal law.

8.    Severability. If any provision of this Amendment is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Amendment shall nonetheless remain legal, valid and
enforceable on the parties hereto and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good
faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision
with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to
that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision. The invalidity of a
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

9.    Consent of the Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby consents, acknowledges
and agrees to the amendments set forth herein and hereby confirms and ratifies
in all respects the Loan Documents to which such Person is a party (including
without limitation the continuation of such Person’s payment and performance
obligations and the effectiveness and priority of any Liens granted thereunder,
in each case upon and after the effectiveness of this Amendment and the
amendments contemplated hereby) and the enforceability of such Loan Documents
against such Person in accordance with its terms.

10.    References. All references in any of the Loan Documents to the Credit
Agreement shall mean the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby.

 

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11.    Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the Borrower and the Lender and their respective successors,
legal representatives, and assignees to the extent such assignees are permitted
assignees as provided in Section 10.06 of the Credit Agreement.
