3



"(c)    If, as of any date, Borrower fails to maintain a Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of at least $235,000,000, the Aggregate Commitment will be immediately reduced by $20,000,000 (the "CTNW Test"). Any such reduction of the Aggregate Commitment shall be allocated to each Lender's Commitment ratably in proportion to its Ratable Share. If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of Borrower or a calculation error, Borrower or Agent determines that (i) the Consolidated Tangible Net Worth as calculated by Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate, and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Tangible Net Worth would have resulted in a reduction of the Aggregate Commitment, the Aggregate Commitment will be immediately reduced. This subsection 2.6(c) shall not limit the rights of Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuer as the case may be under Section 9. Any such reduction shall be accompanied by (A) prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans made hereunder to the extent, if any, that the sum of the amount of such Revolving Credit Loans, the Swingline Loans and the Facility L/C Obligations then outstanding exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitment, as then reduced, together with accrued interest on the amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment, and (B) if a Revolving Credit Loan is a Eurodollar Rate Loan that is prepaid other than at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, by any amounts payable pursuant to subsection 3.5 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Coverage Test provided for in Subsection 2.6(d) is violated and such violation results in a $20,000,000 reduction in the Aggregate Commitment, then any violation of the CTNW Test provided for in this Subsection 2.6(c) would not cause a second reduction of $20,000,000. By way of example, if a violation of the Coverage Test occurs on June 30, 2013 and the Aggregate Commitments are reduced by $20,000,000 as a result thereof, then a violation of the CTNW Test on September 30, 2013 would not result in a second reduction in Aggregate Commitments. If both the CTNW Test and the Coverage Test are violated during the same quarter (commencing June 30, 2013 and thereafter) only one $20,000,000 reduction will be taken, but the next subsequent violation of the Coverage Test will provide the basis for another reduction."

3.Amendment of Subsection 2.6(d). Subsection 2.6(d) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
"(d)    If, as of the end of any fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2013, Borrower fails to maintain an Interest Coverage Ratio of greater than 1.50 to 1.00 and an ACFO Ratio of greater than 1.50 to 1.00 (for the avoidance of doubt, Borrower must fail both tests (collectively, the "Coverage Test") in the same quarter for the application of this Subsection 2.6(d)), the Aggregate Commitment will be reduced by $20,000,000 on the Coverage Trigger Reduction Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Aggregate Commitment hereunder shall not be reduced solely as a result of the application of this Subsection 2.6(d) so long as (a) the Aggregate Commitments are less than or equal to $80,000,000 prior to such reduction and (b) the Loan Parties maintain an ACFO Ratio of greater than 1.10 to 1.00 for the trailing two fiscal quarters ending on the fiscal quarter being measured hereunder. Any such reduction of the Aggregate Commitment shall be allocated to each Lender's Commitment ratably in proportion to its Ratable Share. If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of Borrower or a calculation error, Borrower or Agent determines that (i) the Interest Coverage Ratio or the ACFO Ratio as calculated by Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate, and (ii) a proper calculation of either the Interest Coverage Ratio or the ACFO Ratio would have resulted in a reduction of the Aggregate Commitment, the Aggregate Commitment will be immediately reduced or if the relevant Coverage Trigger Reduction Date has not passed, will reduce on the Coverage Trigger Reduction Date. This subsection 2.6(d) shall not limit the rights of Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuer as the case may be under Section 9. Any such reduction shall be accompanied by (A) prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans made hereunder to the extent, if any, that the sum of the amount of such Revolving Credit Loans, the Swingline Loans and the Facility L/C Obligations then outstanding exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitment, as then reduced, together with accrued interest on the amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment, and (B) if a

4



Revolving Credit Loan is a Eurodollar Rate Loan that is prepaid other than at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, by any amounts payable pursuant to subsection 3.5 hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the CTNW Test provided for in Subsection 2.6(c) is violated and such violation results in a $20,000,000 reduction in the Aggregate Commitment, then the first simultaneous or subsequent violation of the Coverage Test provided for in this Subsection 2.6(d) would not cause a second reduction of $20,000,000. A second subsequent violation of this Coverage Test would cause $20,000,000 reduction. By way of example, if a violation of the CTNW Test occurs on June 30, 2012 and the Aggregate Commitments are reduced by $20,000,000 as a result thereof, then a violation of the Coverage Test on June 30, 2013 would not result in a second reduction in Aggregate Commitments; however, if the Coverage Test was again violated in September 30, 2013, then the violation of the Coverage Test would provide the basis for a $20,000,000 reduction in the Aggregate Commitment. If both the CTNW Test and the Coverage Test are violated during the same quarter (commencing June 30, 2013 and thereafter) only one $20,000,000 reduction will be taken, but the next subsequent violation of the Coverage Test will provide the basis for another reduction."

4.Amendment of Section 2.13. Section 2.13 [The Facility L/C] of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
(a)"2.13    The Facility L/Cs.
So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, PNC and each other Lender that is designated as an LC Issuer in this Agreement or in accordance with subsection 2.14(a) hereof, agree to issue Facility L/Cs, on the terms and conditions hereof, provided that (a) the aggregate of all Facility L/C Obligations at any one time outstanding shall not exceed Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000) and (b) the sum of the aggregate amount of all Loans and the aggregate amount of all Facility L/C Obligations at any one time outstanding shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment."

5.Amendment of Subsection 2.15(c)(ii). Subsection (c)(ii) of Section 2.15 [Issuance of Facility L/Cs] of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
"(ii)    if, after giving effect to the issuance, amendment or extension of the Facility L/C requested hereunder, the aggregate principal amount of the Facility L/C Obligations would exceed the lesser of (A) $40,000,000 and (B) the Aggregate Commitment;"
