-6-

 

forth above, and the Borrowers shall upon demand pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the Lenders, as additional interest owing on the Loans an amount equal to the additional interest
that would have been due over the period commencing on the first day following the Benchmark Period
through date the pricing table reverts to the Increased Applicable Margin, so as to result in
interest accrual as if the Increased Applicable Margin had continuously remained in place.

     4. EBITDA.

     (a) Of the $12,000,000 equity investment made in Holdings on the date hereof, (i) $5,000,000
shall be deemed to be an increase to EBITDA (solely for the purpose of determining the Borrowers’
compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 11.13) for the period in which
such equity investment is made, and (ii) as specified in the Keep Well Agreement, the portion of
such investment comprising the Segregated Equity Investment may in the future be deemed to be an
increase to EBITDA (solely for the purpose of determining the Borrowers’ compliance with the
financial covenants set forth in Section 11.13 of the Credit Agreement).

     (b) Borrowers shall be permitted to have a one time addback to EBITDA for expenses incurred no
later than March 31, 2010 from the failure of Holdings to consummate the initial registered public
offering of Capital Securities of Holdings and Borrowers’ restructuring expenses, in an aggregate
amount not to exceed $3,000,000. Equivalent deductions shall be made from the computation of
Excess Cash Flow over the same applicable period.

     5. Debt Computation Matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
the Credit Agreement, commencing with the Fiscal Quarter ending March 31, 2009, for purposes of
computing the Senior Debt to EBITDA Ratio and the Total Debt to EBITDA Ratio for any Computation
Period ending on or after March 31, 2009, Debt pertaining to the Revolving Loans shall be deemed to
equal the average daily balance of the outstanding Revolving Loans for the most recently completed
Fiscal Quarter in such Computation Period.

     6. Conditions. The effectiveness of this Amendment is subject to the satisfaction of
the following conditions precedent (unless specifically waived in writing by Administrative Agent):

     (a) Borrowers shall have executed and delivered this Amendment, together with such other
documents, agreements and instruments as Administrative Agent may require or reasonably request;

     (b) Holdings shall have executed and delivered the Keep Well Agreement;

     (c) Holdings shall have delivered to Administrative Agent a fully executed copy of the
Mezzanine Amendment;

-7-

 

     (d) Administrative Agent shall have approved the terms and conditions of any agreement,
document or instrument pertaining to the $12,000,000 equity investment to be made in Holdings on or

Administrative Agent and Lenders that:

     (a) The execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower of this Amendment and each of the
other agreements, instruments and documents contemplated hereby are within each Borrower’s
corporate power, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, have received all
necessary governmental approval (if any shall be required), and do not and will not contravene or
conflict with any provision of law applicable to any Borrower, the certificate of formation,
operating agreement and any other organizational document of any Borrower, any order, judgment or
decree of any court or

-8-

 

governmental agency, or any agreement, instrument or document binding upon any Borrower or any
of its property (including without limitation the Subordinated Debt Documents);

     (b) Each of the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents, as amended by this Amendment and the
documents and agreements contemplated thereby, are the legal, valid and binding obligation of
Borrowers, enforceable against Borrowers in accordance with its terms;

     (c) Except to the extent amended hereby, the representations and warranties contained in the

force and effect as if such had been made on and as of the date hereof; and

     (d) Except for the Existing Events of Default, Borrowers have performed all of their

Keep Well Agreement, and authorize the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver the Keep Well
Agreement. In the event of any inconsistencies or conflicts between the terms of the Keep Well
Agreement and the terms of either the Credit Agreement and/or the Guaranty and Collateral
Agreement, the Keep Well Agreement shall be deemed to govern and control, and shall constitute an
amendment to the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement and/or the Guaranty and Collateral
Agreement (as applicable) so as to avoid any such inconsistencies and/or conflicts. The Lenders
acknowledge that the Keep Well Agreement is the only agreement governing the release and
application of funds on deposit in the Specified Account (as such term is defined in the Keep Well
Agreement).

     9. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
the different parties on separate counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an
original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Amendment.
Receipt by telecopy or electronic transmission of any executed signature page to this Amendment
shall constitute effective delivery of such signature page.

     10. Continued Effectiveness. Administrative Agent, Required Lenders and Borrowers
hereby agree that all references to the Credit Agreement which are contained in any of the Loan
Documents shall refer to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment. Except as specifically
set forth herein, the Credit Agreement and each of the Loan Documents shall continue in full force
and effect according to its and their respective terms.

     11. Costs and Expenses. Each Borrower hereby agrees that all expenses incurred by
Administrative Agent and Lenders in connection with the preparation, negotiation

-9-

 

and closing of the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses, shall be part of the Obligations.

     12. Severability. Any provision of this Amendment that is prohibited or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting
the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
