convertible senior subordinated notes due 2024 (the “Convertible Notes”), in each case for the issuance of convertible preferred Capital Stock (“Preferred Stock”) and/or common stock (the “Common

 WHEREAS, the Borrower may not be in compliance with the financial

 NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

 SECTION 1 
 CONSENT AND WAIVER 
 1.1 Consent and Waiver. 
 (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of the Credit Agreement to the contrary, the Required Lenders hereby (i) consent to the execution by the Borrower
of documentation relating to the Stock Issuance and agree that the contracting for, and execution of such documentation shall not (A) result in a “Change of Control” as defined in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement or
(B) violate the provisions of Section 6.1 of the Credit Agreement and (ii) waive the Potential Defaults resulting from the execution by the Borrower of documentation relating to the Stock Issuance; provided that it is
acknowledged and agreed that such consent and waiver shall relate only to the contracting for, and execution of such documentation and shall not be a consent to, or waiver of, any Default or Event of Default, any mandatory prepayment obligation or
other requirement that would otherwise exist or arise from, such Stock Issuance. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of the Credit
Agreement to the contrary, the Required Lenders hereby waive compliance by the Credit Parties with the Financial Covenants; provided that (i) such waiver shall only be effective during the Waiver Period and (ii) during the Waiver
Period, the Credit Parties shall continue to provide the financial information required pursuant to Section 5.1 and 5.2 of the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, the compliance certificate required by Section 5.2(b) setting
forth calculations with respect to the Financial Covenants). Immediately upon the expiration of the Waiver Period, the Credit Parties will be subject to the financial covenants set forth in Section 5.9 of the Credit Agreement and compliance
with such financial covenants will be tested based on the financial information provided pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of the Credit Agreement for the fiscal quarter most recently ended prior to the expiration of the Waiver Period. For the
avoidance of doubt, upon the expiration of the Waiver Period, if the Credit Parties are not in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 5.9 of the Credit Agreement (as calculated in accordance with the requirements of the
foregoing sentence), then such non-compliance will constitute an Event of Default and the Lenders shall be immediately entitled to exercise any or all of their rights and remedies arising in respect thereof. For purposes of this Section 1.1(b),
on July 15, 2009 the Waiver Period shall be automatically extended until September 15, 2009 to the extent the Administrative Agent has received satisfactory evidence that the Borrower has entered into a definitive agreement for the
issuance of the Preferred Stock which is in full force and effect as of such date. 
 1.2 Effectiveness of Consent and Waiver.

Credit Parties, (b) affect the right of the Lenders to demand compliance by the Credit Parties with all terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, except as specifically consented to pursuant to the terms hereof, (c) be deemed a waiver
of any transaction or future action on the 

  

 2 

 
part of the Credit Parties requiring the Lenders’ or the Required Lenders’ consent or approval under the Credit Agreement, or (d) except as
consented to and waived hereby, be deemed or construed to be a waiver or release of, or a limitation upon, the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ exercise of any rights or remedies under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit
Document, whether arising as a consequence of any Event of Default which may now exist or otherwise, all such rights and remedies hereby being expressly reserved. 
 1.3 Agreements Regarding Deposit and Securities Accounts.

Credit Parties hereby agrees that, beginning with the date that is thirty (30) days after the date hereof (or such longer time as agreed to by the Administrative Agent), each of the Credit Parties will not open, maintain or otherwise have any

 1.4 Revolver Availability. 
 Each of the Borrower, the other Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agrees that from and after the Consent & Waiver Effective Date, the Borrower shall not request, and the Administrative Agent,
the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall have no obligation to make or issue (as applicable), any Revolving Loan, Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit, in each case to or for the benefit (as applicable) of the Borrower or any

as a Participant in a particular Plan Year will have any right to be selected as a Participant in any other Plan Year. 
 4.
Plan Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator, which shall have full and exclusive power to interpret this Plan and to adopt such rules, regulations and guidelines for carrying out this Plan as it may
deem necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion. All decisions of the Administrator in the interpretation and administration of this Plan shall lie within its sole and absolute discretion and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the
Participants. Unless specifically stated herein as a function of the Committee, including without limitation, establishment of Performance Goals as specified in Section 5(a) hereof, the Administrator shall determine all terms and conditions of

 5. Calculation and Payment of Awards. 
 (a) Performance Goals. In interpreting Plan provisions applicable to Performance Goals, it is the intent of the Plan to conform
with the standards of Section 162(m) of the Code and Treasury Regulation §1.162-27(e)(2)(i), and the Committee, in establishing such Performance Goals, and the Administrator, in interpreting the Plan, shall be guided by such provisions.
The Committee shall establish the Performance Goals no later than the earlier to occur of (1) 90 days after the commencement of the Performance Period and (2) the lapse of 25% of the Performance Period (the “Determination Date”),
and in any event while the outcome is still substantially uncertain. As soon as practicable after the close of the Performance Period, the Committee shall evaluate whether the Performance Goals were achieved. 
 (b) Establishment of Target Bonus Percentage. The Administrator will establish a Target Bonus Percentage for each Participant for
the Plan Year, based on any considerations the Administrator deems appropriate. With respect to Participants who are executive officers, the Committee shall establish the Target Bonus Percentage no later than the Determination Date. An Employee who
becomes a Participant after the first day of a Performance Period may be awarded a Target Bonus Percentage, and may be eligible for a pro rata Award in the manner calculated pursuant to Section 5(e) hereof. 
 (c) Authorization of Incentive Pool. Prior to the Incentive Pool being authorized, the Committee shall certify in writing that the
applicable Performance Goals and any other material terms thereof were, in fact, satisfied. If the applicable Performance Goals were not achieved, the Incentive Pool shall not be authorized. If the Committee certifies that the applicable Performance
Goals were satisfied, the Incentive Pool shall be authorized in an amount equal to the sum of each Participant’s Target Bonus. 
  

 3 

 (d) Calculation of Final Award. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may
reduce, but not increase, the Incentive Pool by reducing a Participant’s Target Bonus and shall declare a Final Award with respect to each Participant. Any reduction in a Participant’s Target Bonus shall not increase the Target Bonus of
any other Participant. 
 (e) Employment for Less Than Full Plan Year. Except as otherwise provided in this
Section 5(e), Awards will be paid only to Participants who are in active Employment on the date Awards are paid. A Participant who is not in active Employment during an entire Plan Year due to (i) death, (ii) Permanent Disability,
(iii) Temporary Disability, (iv) leave of absence approved by the Company or (v) Retirement, each as determined in the Administrator’s sole discretion, shall be entitled to a pro rata Final Award. The pro rata Final Award shall
be equal to the Participant’s Final Award as determined by the Administrator pursuant to Section 5(d) hereof multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Participant’s full number of completed months of active Employment
during the Plan Year (a full month will be deemed completed if the Participant was actively employed for more than one-half of the month) and the denominator of which is the total number of months in the Plan Year. 
 (f) Payment of Final Award. A Participant’s Final Award shall be paid to the Participant on March 15 of the calendar year
immediately following the end of the Performance Period. 
 6. Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination. The Committee may
amend, modify, suspend or terminate this Plan at any time, and nothing in this Plan grants Participants any rights that are not otherwise subject to modification. 
 7. Compliance with Section 409A. The Plan and Awards granted hereunder are intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code under the short-term deferral exception under
Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4), and shall be interpreted and administered in a manner consistent with that intent. 
  

 4 

 EXHIBIT A 
 PERFORMANCE GOALS 
 FOR 2009 PLAN YEAR 
 In order for the Incentive Pool to be authorized for the Plan Year from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009, the Committee must certify that any one or
more of the following Performance Goals has been achieved: 
  

	 	1.	Total Shareholder Return (TSR) – The Company’s TSR relative to the “Peer Group” is within the top two-thirds. For this purpose TSR is defined as
[Beginning Share Price (1/1/09)], minus, [Ending Share Price (12/31/09)] + [dividends] / [Beginning Share Price]. 

 For the
purpose of this Plan, the “Peer Group” will be consistent with the Peer group as outlined in the 2008 Proxy, modified to reflect changes due to market conditions, e.g., increase in market capitalization, merger, insolvency, etc.

  

	 	2.	EBITDA— EBITDA for 2009 is greater than the EBITDA for 2008. 

  

	 	3.	Cost Reduction— Actual cost reduction for 2009 is at least 50% of the targeted cost reduction as approved by management at the beginning of the year based upon the
established operating rate at the beginning of the year. 

 If, due to market conditions, the operating rate at any time during
2009 increases by 10% or more over the operating rate in effect at the beginning of the year, the cost reduction target will be reduced to 30%.
