     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein,
the parties agree as follows:

SECTION 1.   AMENDMENTS TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT

     1.1.   Amendment to Section 3. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the
following new Section 3.4 thereto:

     3.4 Increase in Total Revolving Commitment. (a) The Borrower shall have the
right, exercisable in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time, to increase
the Total Revolving Commitment by giving written notice of such increase (an “Increase
Notice”) to the Administrative Agent. Each Increase Notice shall specify the Lender or
Lenders or any other Person or Persons to which any Lender is permitted to assign Revolving
Commitments in accordance with Section 12.4(b), or any combination of such Lenders and such
Persons (collectively, “New Lenders”), prepared to incur or increase, as the case
may be, its Revolving Commitment (each such incurrence or increase, a “Revolving
Commitment Increase”) and the amount of such Revolving Commitment Increase;
provided that Revolving Commitment Increases may only be made in a maximum
aggregate amount of up to $20,000,000 thereby increasing the Total Revolving Commitment to
up to $90,000,000; provided further that:

     (i) each such Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an amount at least
equal to $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, unless
otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent;

     (ii) the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (A)
board resolutions of the Borrower certified by its secretary or assistant secretary
authorizing the Revolving Commitment Increase specified in such

1

 

Increase Notice and the execution and delivery of all applicable documentation in
connection therewith, (B) upon request of the Administrative Agent, the legal
opinions of counsel to the Borrower as to the due authorization, execution and
delivery of the documentation relating to such Revolving Commitment Increase, the
enforceability of this Agreement, after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment
Increase, and no conflict thereof with the Certificate of Incorporation, by-laws and
material agreements of the Borrower or with any applicable laws, rules or
regulations and (C) all additional agreements, instruments and documents which the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with such Revolving
Commitment Increase, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent and its counsel and, with respect to the opinions described
in clause (B) above, in form and substance substantially similar to such opinions
delivered on the Closing Date in satisfaction of Section 5.1(b);

     (iii) the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have consented to each New Lender
providing all or a portion of such Revolving Commitment Increase (such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

     (iv) the Borrower and each New Lender shall execute and deliver an agreement (a
“Revolving Commitment Increase Agreement”) in substantially the form of
Exhibit L to evidence each New Lender’s Revolving Commitment and its status as a
Revolving Lender hereunder, such Revolving Commitment Increase Agreement shall be
acknowledged by the Administrative Agent and consented to by the Letter of Credit
Issuer (such acknowledgement and consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), and all proceedings of the Borrower relating to the matters provided for
therein shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its
counsel; and

     (v) no Default or Event of Default then exists or would arise as a result of
any such increase.

     (b) Upon the execution, delivery and acceptance of the documents required by this
Section 3.4 and the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of the
applicable Revolving Commitment Increase, each New Lender shall have all of the rights and
obligations of a Revolving Lender under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall
provide the Revolving Lenders with notice of the revised Total Revolving Commitment and the
revised Revolving Percentages of the Revolving Lenders, including the New Lenders.

     (c) Upon the effectiveness of a Revolving Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section
3.4, the Borrower shall prepay to certain Revolving Lenders such amount of any Revolving
Loans as may be then outstanding (without regard to minimum prepayment amounts pursuant to
Section 4.1 but including any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 1.11) as are
necessary so that, after giving effect to such prepayments and any borrowings on such date
of all or any portion of such Revolving Commitment Increase, the principal balance of all
outstanding Revolving Loans owing to each Revolving Lender is equivalent to each such
Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage (after giving effect to any nonratable Revolving
Commitment Increase in the

2

 

Total Revolving Commitment resulting from a Revolving Commitment Increase pursuant to this
Section 3.4) of all then outstanding Revolving Loans.

     1.2.   Amendment to Section 7.1 (Financial Statements). Section 7.1(b) of the Credit
Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following sentence at the end thereof:

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.1, Holdings and
its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to have delivered financial statements pursuant to
paragraph (a) above and this paragraph (b) with respect to any period for which it has
timely filed its Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, as the case may be, with the SEC; provided
that such Form 10-K or Form 10-Q, as the case may be, is publicly available on the SEC’s
website (or a similar website) within the time periods required by paragraph (a) above and
this paragraph (b).

     1.3.   Amendment to Section 8.7 (Leases). Section 8.7 of the Credit Agreement is
hereby amended by deleting the amount “$20,000,000” and substituting in lieu thereof the following
amount: “$30,000,000.”

     1.4.   Amendments to Section 8.9 (Dividends). Section 8.9(a) of the Credit Agreement
is hereby amended by (a) deleting the period at the end of clause (viii) thereof and inserting in
lieu thereof the phrase “; and” and (b) inserting the following the new clause (ix) immediately
following clause (viii) thereof:

     (ix) Holdings may pay Dividends on any date on which the Leverage Ratio, calculated as
of the end of the then most recently ended fiscal period for which financial statements
shall have been delivered or deemed delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.1 on a
pro forma basis, after giving effect to any Borrowing the proceeds of which are used to
fund such Dividend, is less than 2.00 to 1.00.

     1.5.   Amendments to Section 10 (Definitions). (a) Section 10 of the Credit Agreement
