|
(a)
|
The
definition of Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio in Section 1 of the SPA is
hereby deleted in its entirety and the following new definition is
substituted therefor:

|
“Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. Fixed
Charge Coverage Ratio shall mean, as of any date of determination and as
determined for the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis,
the ratio of (i) Adjusted EBITDA for the four fiscal quarter period ending
as of such date, less cash taxes paid
during such period, less Capital
Expenditures made during such period; to (ii) the amount of current
portions of long term Indebtedness at such date, plus interest expense
on Indebtedness for Borrowed Money during such period. For
purposes of the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the
principal amount due upon maturity of the Term Loan (as defined in the
Senior Loan Agreement as in effect on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date)
shall not be considered a “current portion of long term Indebtedness” and
the monthly principal payments of the Term Loan (as defined in the Senior
Loan Agreement as in effect on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date) during
2010 and 2011 shall be deemed to be
$250,000.”
|
|
(b)
|
The

therefor:
|

“Permitted Acquisition. Permitted
Acquisition shall mean any acquisition by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries of all or substantially all of the assets of any Person or
all of the capital stock (or other equity interests) of any Person;
provided that, prior to such acquisition, the Company or such Subsidiary
shall have received the prior written consent of the Holders, which
consent may be withheld by the Holders in their sole
discretion.”
|

Holder for the Company and the Guarantors as set forth in the Financing
Agreements, in either case (A) or (B), on account of any condition,
act, omission, event, contract, liability, obligation, indebtedness,
claim, cause of action, defense, circumstance or matter of any kind
whatsoever which existed, arose or occurred at any time prior to the date
hereof or which could thereafter arise as the result of the execution of
(or the satisfaction of any condition precedent or subsequent to) this
Agreement.
|
(g)
|
This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and no other parties
