WHEREAS, the parties hereto have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement on the
terms and conditions set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, the terms and
conditions contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company, the
Lenders party hereto and the Administrative Agent have agreed to the following
amendment to the Credit Agreement.

1. Amendments. Effective as of the date hereof and subject to the satisfaction
of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2 below, the Credit Agreement
is hereby amended as follows:

(a) The definitions of “Senior Subordinated Note Indenture” and “Senior
Subordinated Notes” appearing in Section 1.01 are hereby amended and restated in
their entirety as follows:

“Senior Subordinated Note Indenture” means (i) that certain Indenture, dated as
of January 30, 2003, by and among the Company and certain of its Subsidiaries
and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee thereunder and (ii) any
other Indenture in respect of Subordinated Indebtedness expressly permitted by
the terms of this Agreement, in each case, as the same may be amended, restated,
supplemented, modified, extended, refinanced or replaced from time to time to
the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement.

“Senior Subordinated Notes” means (i) the Company’s 9.125% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2013 issued pursuant to the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture in an
aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000 and (ii) any other subordinated notes
issued pursuant to a Senior Note Indenture, in each case, as the same may be
amended, restated, supplemented, modified, extended, refinanced or replaced from
time to time to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the terms of
this Agreement.

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

(b) Section 6.08 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to (i) redesignate
clauses “(iv)”, “(v)” and “(vi)” thereof as “(v)”, “(vi)” and “(vii)”,
respectively and (ii) insert a new clause (iv) therein as follows:

(iv) the foregoing shall not apply to restrictions and conditions contained in
the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture in respect of Senior Subordinated Notes
to the extent such restrictions and conditions are (or are in form and substance
identical in all material respects to those) set forth in the “Description of
Notes – Certain Covenants” contained in that certain prospectus supplement which
was filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form
424B5 on February 22, 2010 (with such changes thereto reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent); provided, that at all times the Secured Obligations
shall constitute “Senior Debt” and “Designated Senior Debt” permitted to be
incurred under the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture and the Liens created
pursuant to the Loan Documents securing the Secured Obligations shall constitute
permitted Liens thereunder, and such Liens shall not be required to be shared
equally and ratably with the holders of any Senior Subordinated Notes,

(c) Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to restate the first
two sentences thereof in their entirety as follows:

The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or
indirectly, declare, pay, make or set aside any amount for payment in respect of
Subordinated Indebtedness, except for (i) regularly scheduled payments of
principal and interest at the non-default rate of interest (but no voluntary
prepayments) in respect of such Subordinated Indebtedness and indemnity
obligations payable pursuant to the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents and
(ii) in connection with refinancings of such Subordinated Indebtedness to the
extent permitted by the express terms of Section 6.01(b), in each case made in
full compliance with any and all subordination provisions applicable to such
Subordinated Indebtedness. The Company will not, and will not permit any
Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly voluntarily prepay, defease or in
substance defease, purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire, any
Subordinated Indebtedness or any Indebtedness from time to time outstanding
under the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents other than in connection with
refinancings of such Subordinated Indebtedess to the extent permitted by the
express terms of Section 6.01(b).

2. Conditions of Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of the
date hereof if, and only if, the Administrative Agent shall have received:
(a) executed copies of this Amendment from the Company and the Required Lenders;
(b) executed copies of the Reaffirmation attached hereto in the form of Exhibit
A from the existing Subsidiary Guarantors; and (c) all fees and expenses of the

3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents
and warrants as follows:

2

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

(b) Neither the execution and delivery by the Company of this Amendment, nor the
consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance with the
provisions hereof or of the Credit Agreement (as modified hereby) (i) will
require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other
action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made
and are in full force and effect, (ii) will violate any applicable law or
regulation or the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of the

(iii) will violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or

and the Senior Subordinated Notes), or give rise to a right thereunder to
require any payment to be made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
(iv) will result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(c) As of the date hereof and giving effect to the terms of this Amendment,

(a) Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference to the Credit
Agreement in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall mean and be a

Document pursuant to the Credit Agreement and shall (unless expressly indicated
herein or therein) be construed, administered, and applied, in accordance with
all of the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement.

Loan Documents, and (iv) acknowledges and agrees that, except as specifically
modified above, the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents executed
and/or delivered in connection therewith shall remain in full force and effect
and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

(c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not,
except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or
remedy of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, nor constitute a waiver of or
consent to any modification of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any
other Loan Documents executed and/or delivered in connection therewith.

5. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the law of the State of New York.
