     The Second Amendment amended the Credit Agreement primarily in order (i) to increase the limit on the aggregate amount payable set forth in clause (a)(i) of the definition of “Permitted Acquisitions” under the Credit Agreement from $25,000,000 to $50,000,000 in any fiscal year and $75,000,000 to $150,000,000 during the term of the Credit Agreement, (ii) to eliminate the limit on the aggregate amount payable set forth in clause (a)(iii) of the definition of “Permitted Acquisitions”, (iii) to eliminate the $500,000 limit on Restricted Payments permitted under Section 8.5(j) of the Credit Agreement, (iv) to include a Restricted Payments basket of an aggregate amount of $25,000,000 for repurchases of Holdings stock, (v) to add an accordion feature that allows for additional borrowing capacity of up to $50,000,000, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions set forth in the Second Amendment and (vi) to make certain other changes as agreed between the Borrowers and the Lenders.

     The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated in this Item 1.01 by reference.
