     “ “Cash Equivalents” means any of the following types of Investments, to the extent
owned by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries: (a) obligations issued or directly and fully

having maturities of not more than three years from the date of acquisition thereof; provided that
the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged in support thereof; (b)
deposits, time deposits, eurodollar time deposits or overnight bank deposits with, or certificates
of deposit or bankers’ acceptances of, any commercial bank that (i) (A) is a Lender or an

 

 

Affiliate of a Lender or (B) is organized under the laws of the United States of America, any state
thereof or the District of Columbia or is the principal banking subsidiary of a bank holding

equivalent thereof (each commercial bank referred to in this clause (b), being an “Approved Bank”);
(c) deposits, time deposits, eurodollar time deposits or overnight bank deposits with, or
certificates of deposit or bankers’ acceptances of any commercial bank that is organized under the
laws of a foreign country but is not an Approved Bank to the extent deposits with such foreign bank
do not exceed $1,000,000 outstanding at any time and the aggregate amount of all deposits made
pursuant to this clause (c) does not exceed $5,000,000 outstanding at any time; (d)
commercial paper and variable or fixed rate notes issued by any Approved Bank or by the parent
company of any Approved Bank, (e) commercial paper and variable rate notes issued by, or guaranteed

long-term unsecured debt rating (at the time of acquisition of such security) of at least “AA” or
the equivalent thereof by S&P or at least “Aa” or the equivalent thereof by Moody’s and in each
case maturing within one year after the date of acquisition; (f) commercial paper in an aggregate

more than 30 days, with respect to securities issued or fully guaranteed or insured by the United
States government; (h) repurchase agreements with any Lender or any primary dealer maturing within
one year from the date of acquisition that are fully collateralized by investment instruments that

Supervisory Policy — Repurchase Agreements of Depository Institutions With Securities Dealers and
Others, as adopted by the Comptroller of the Currency on October 31, 1985”; (h) securities with

securities or other investments satisfying the requirements of clauses (a) through (j) of this
definition.”

     (c) Section 2.03(i) is amended by substituting for the phrase “first Business
Day after the end of each January, April, July and October” where it appears therein the
phrase “last Business Day of each January, April, July and October”.

     (d) Clause (b)(i) of Section 2.05 is amended to read in full as
follows:

(i) If Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries Disposes of any property or
assets (other than any Disposition of any property or assets permitted by
Sections 7.05(a) through (i) and (l) and (m)) which in the aggregate results
in the realization by Holdings or such Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds
(determined as of the date of consummation of such Disposition, whether or
not such Net Cash Proceeds are then received by Holdings or such Subsidiary,
but with the amount of any such Net Cash Proceeds attributable to any time
period after the consummation of such Disposition to be determined by an
estimate made in good faith by a Responsible Officer), in excess of the
lesser of $15,000,000 and 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (as
defined in the New Subordinated Notes Indenture), determined as of the last
day of the most recent fiscal quarter for which a consolidated balance sheet
of Holdings and its Subsidiaries has been prepared, in any fiscal year,
then:

(A) with respect to any such Disposition that is consummated on or prior to
July 30, 2006 and results in the realization by Holdings or such Subsidiary
of Net Cash Proceeds (determined as of the date of consummation of such
Disposition, whether or not such Net Cash Proceeds are then received by
Holdings or such Subsidiary, but with the amount of any such Net Cash
Proceeds attributable to any time period after the consummation of such
Disposition with respect to such Disposition to be determined by an estimate
made in good faith by a Responsible Officer) in excess of $50,000,000 (such
Disposition as described in this Section 2.05(b)(i)(A), a “Major
Disposition”), the Borrower shall prepay substantially contemporaneously
with the consummation of such Major Disposition pursuant to this Section
2.05(b)(i)(A) an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 20% of the Net
Cash Proceeds received by Holdings or its Subsidiaries upon the consummation
of such Major Disposition; provided that (x) any Net Cash Proceeds remaining
after the prepayments required to be made pursuant to the foregoing may be
used at the discretion of Holdings or the applicable Subsidiary for general
corporate purposes not in contravention of any Law or Loan Document
(including, without limitation, the making of any Restricted Payment not in
contravention of Section 7.06 hereof) and (y) in the case of any Major
Disposition permitted by Section 7.05(k), (I) any such prepayment only shall
be required to be made within 180 days of the date of the Disposition, and
(II) the amount required to be prepaid

 

 

pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(i)(A) with respect to such Disposition
permitted by Section 7.05(k) shall be 50% of the first $200,000,000 of Net
Cash Proceeds therefrom and 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds in excess of
$200,000,000 received therefrom;

(B) with respect to any such Disposition that does not qualify as a Major
Disposition, the Borrower shall prepay, within 180 days of the date of such
Disposition, an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of all Net
Cash Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to such date (or, in the case
of a Disposition permitted by Section 7.05(k), 50% of the first $200,000,000
of Net Cash Proceeds therefrom and 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds in excess
of $200,000,000 received therefrom); provided, however, that, with respect
to any Net Cash Proceeds realized under a Disposition described in this
Section 2.05(b)(i)(B) (other than Dispositions pursuant to Section 7.05(k)),
at the option of the Borrower, and as an alternative to the prepayment
requirement set forth in this Section 2.05(b)(i)(B), Holdings or such
Subsidiary may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in
fixed or capital assets to be used in the business of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries so long as such Net Cash Proceeds are used or committed to be
so used within 12 months after the Disposition giving rise to the
obligations under this Section 2.05(b)(i)(B);

     (e) Clause (j)(ii) of Section 7.05 is amended in full to read as
follows:

“(ii)(A) during the time period beginning October 31, 2005 to and including
July 30, 2006, the EBITDA for the Measurement Period immediately preceding
the consummation of such Disposition attributable to any property Disposed
of in reliance on this Section 7.05(j) shall not exceed, with
respect to one or more Dispositions made during such time period in reliance
on this Section 7.05(j), 15% of EBITDA of Holdings for the Measurement
Period ending on May 1, 2005 (with the EBITDA for each such Disposition
being determined by the EBITDA attributable to the applicable property for
the Measurement Period immediately preceding the consummation of such
Disposition) and (B) from and after July 31, 2006, the aggregate fair market
value of all property Disposed of on or after such date in reliance on this
Section 7.05(j) shall not exceed $100,000,000; provided, that for
purposes of this clause (B), the determination of the fair market
value of property Disposed of with respect to any Disposition shall be as
determined in good faith by a Responsible Officer as of the date of
execution of a definitive agreement for such Disposition (whether or not
such Disposition is subject to the satisfaction of any conditions), or, if
no such agreement is executed with respect to such Disposition, the date of
consummation thereof; and”.

     (f) Clause (e) of Section 7.06 is amended in full to read as follows:

 

 

“so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or
would result therefrom, the Borrower may pay dividends to Holdings in an
aggregate amount not to exceed (i) prior to October 31, 2005, in an
aggregate amount not to exceed the sum of (A) $125,000,000 plus (B)
50% of Consolidated Net Income of Holdings determined on a cumulative basis
from the beginning of fiscal year 2005 and (ii) on and after October 31,
2005, in an aggregate amount not to exceed the sum of (A) $195,000,000
plus (B) 50% of Consolidated Net Income of Holdings determined on a
cumulative basis from October 31, 2005 plus (C) at such time as no
more than $25,000,000 in principal amount of Existing Subordinated Notes
remains outstanding, $110,000,000; provided that notwithstanding the
foregoing, no dividend payment shall be permitted hereunder if the making of
such dividend payment would at the time of such payment violate Section 4.10
of the Existing Subordinated Note Indenture or Section 4.10 of the New
Subordinated Note Indenture:”.

     (g) Clause (g) of Section 7.06 is amended to substitute the words
“Section 7.02(m)” for the existing language “Section 7.02(n)” in the fourth
line thereof.

     (h) Section 7.10(a) is amended in full to read as follows:

“(a) Total Debt Ratio. Permit the Total Debt Ratio for any
Measurement Period set forth below to be greater than the ratio set forth
below opposite such period:

	 	 	 
	Four Fiscal Quarters Ending

	 	Maximum Total Debt Ratio
	 
	 	 
	Closing Date through January 28, 2007

	 	3.75:1.00
	 
	 	 
	April 29, 2007 through February 1, 2009

	 	3.50:1.00
	 
	 	 
	May 3, 2009 and each fiscal quarter thereafter

	 	3.25:1.00 ”.

 

 

          SECTION 2. Conditions of Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of
the date first above written when, and only when, the Administrative Agent shall have received
counterparts of this Amendment executed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or, as to any of
the Lenders, advice satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that such Lender has executed this
Amendment and the consent attached hereto executed by each Guarantor. This Amendment is subject to
the provisions of Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement.

          SECTION 3. Reference to and Effect on the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents.
(a) On and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Credit Agreement to
“this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement,
and each reference in the Notes and each of the other Loan Documents to “the Credit Agreement”,
“thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and
be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment.

          (b) The Credit Agreement, the Notes and each of the other Loan Documents, as specifically
amended by this Amendment, are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in
all respects ratified and confirmed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Collateral Documents and all of the Collateral described therein do and shall continue to secure
the payment of all Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, in each case as
amended by this Amendment.

          (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 any Lender or the Agent under
any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents.

          SECTION 4. Costs and Expenses The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all costs and
expenses of the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration,
modification and amendment of this Amendment and the other instruments and documents to be

the Administrative Agent) in accordance with the terms of Section 11.04 of the Credit Agreement.

          SECTION 5. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so

and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment
by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

          SECTION 6. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Bonus Calculation Formula:

Business Unit: Corporate
Factor (at 70% weighting) + Business Unit Factor (at 30% weighting)
X Individual Performance Rating

Example 1: Business Unit Case:

Corp Factor = 100%

Business Unit #1 = 50%

Individual = 75%

((100% x 0.7) + (50% X 0.3)) X 75% = 63.75%

Example 2: Business Unit

Corp Factor = 100%

Business Unit #2 = 90%

Individual = 100%

((100% x 0.7) + (90% X 0.3)) X 100% = 97%

Example 3: Max Case

Corp Factor = 150%

Business Unit = 150%

Individual = 100

((150% x 0.7) + (150% X 0.3)) X 100% = 150%

Example 4: Functional Unit

Corporate = 100%

Individual = 97%

100% X 97% = 97%
