PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS
1. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of August 13, 2004 among the Borrower, the lenders and agents party thereto and the Administrative Agent, as amended by the First Amendment dated as of February 2, 2005 (the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein are used with the meanings given in the Credit Agreement.
2. The Borrower has requested that the Credit Agreement be amended as herein set forth.
3. The Administrative Agent has received consents and authorizations relating to this Amendment (or facsimiles thereof) from Lenders constituting the Required Lenders.
Now, therefore, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Amendments to Credit Agreement.
(a) Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is amended by restating the definition of “Unused ECF Basket” so that, in its entirety, it reads as follows:
“Unused ECF Basket”: at any time, the difference between (a) Excess Cash Flow for all fiscal years of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005, for which the Borrower then has made the payment required by Section 4.2(c), net of all payments required for such fiscal years under Section 4.2(c), and (b) the sum of all cash dividends, Capital Expenditures and Permitted Acquisitions theretofore permitted by, and previously counted for the purposes of, Sections 8.6(c)(iv)(A)(y), 8.6(c)(iv)(B)(y), 8.7(d) and 8.8(m); provided, that for the purposes of Section 8.6(c)(iv), the Unused ECF Basket shall be calculated as if the amount of the Unused ECF Basket as of December 31, 2006 were zero (without credit for any Excess Cash Flow attributable to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005).
(b) Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is further amended by adding the following new definition in proper alphabetical order:
“Leverage Test Compliance”: the ratio of Consolidated Senior Debt outstanding after payment of any dividend under Section 8.6(c)(iv) to Consolidated EBITDA for the twelve-month period ending on the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter of the
Borrower for which financial statements have then been delivered, and the ratio of Consolidated Total Debt outstanding after such payment to Consolidated EBITDA for such twelve-month period do not exceed the maximum ratios set forth as to such day in Sections 8.1(a) and 8.1(b), respectively.
(c) The second sentence of Section 4.2(a) of the Credit Agreement (as amended by the First Amendment) is amended by inserting therein after “Co-Investors” :
or (iii) in an underwritten initial public offering of the common stock of the Parent
(d) Section 8.6(c) of the Credit Agreement (as amended by the First Amendment) is amended by inserting “, (iii)” in place of “and (iii)” and inserting the following immediately prior to the period at the end thereof:
and (iv) after an underwritten initial public offering of the common stock of the Parent, if and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Leverage Test Compliance would result, (A) pay cash dividends on the Parent’s common stock in amounts not exceeding the sum of (x) $15.0 million in the aggregate in any one fiscal year of the Borrower plus (y) any additional amounts which, when paid, are counted against, and do not exceed, the then Unused ECF Basket, and (B) pay in cash interest then due on Holdings Notes for interest payment dates (x) ending on or before May 15, 2008, or (y) thereafter, so long as all interest at any time thereafter paid in cash on the Holdings Notes, when paid, is counted against, and does not exceed, the then Unused ECF Basket
