STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:
The Borrower, the Consenting Lenders, certain other financial institutions and the Administrative Agent are parties to the Credit Agreement dated as of July 28, 2008 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”).
The Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to amend the Credit Agreement as more specifically set forth herein.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent and the Consenting Lenders have agreed to grant such requests of the Borrower.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Capitalized Terms. Except as otherwise provided herein, all capitalized undefined terms used in this Amendment (including, without limitation, in the introductory paragraph and the statement of purpose hereto) shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement.
2. Credit Agreement Amendments. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a) Amendment to Section 1.1. Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the following sentence from the end of the definition of “Excess Cash Flow”:
“Notwithstanding the foregoing, Excess Cash Flow with respect to the Fiscal Year ending April 3, 2009 shall be calculated solely on the basis of the second, third and fourth Fiscal Quarters of such Fiscal Year.”
(b) Excess Cash Flow Mandatory Prepayment. Section 4.4(b)(v) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“(v) Excess Cash Flow.
(i) Excess Cash Flow Prepayment. No later than one hundred (100) days after the end of any Fiscal Year (commencing with the Fiscal Year ending on April 3, 2009), the Borrower shall make mandatory principal prepayments of the Loans in the manner set forth in clause (vi) below in an amount equal to the sum of (A) Excess Cash Flow, if any, for such Fiscal Year multiplied by the ECF Percentage less (B) the sum of (1) the aggregate principal amount of all optional prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to Section 2.4(c) during

such Fiscal Year solely to the extent that the Revolving Credit Commitment is reduced by a corresponding amount pursuant to Section 2.5(a) and (2) the aggregate principal amount of all optional prepayments of the Term Loans made pursuant to Section 4.4(a) during such Fiscal Year, in each case with respect to the optional prepayments described in the foregoing clauses (1) and (2), solely to the extent that such prepayments are not funded with the incurrence of any Indebtedness. “ECF Percentage” means the percentage set forth in the table below based on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as of the end of the Fiscal Year in respect of which the amount of the mandatory prepayment pursuant to this clause (v)(i) is being calculated:
         
Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio   ECF Percentage
Greater than or equal to 3.0 to 1.0
    50 %
Less than 3.0 to 1.0, but greater than or equal to 2.0 to 1.0
    25 %
Less than 2.0 to 1.0
    0 %
(ii) Right to Reject Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Term Loan Lender, at its option, may elect not to accept any mandatory prepayment required pursuant to the foregoing clause (v)(i). Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans, the amount of the mandatory prepayment that is available to prepay the Term Loans (the “Prepayment Amount”) shall be deposited with the Administrative Agent and, promptly after the date of such receipt, the Administrative Agent shall give written notice to the Term Loan Lenders of the amount available to prepay the Term Loans and the date on which such prepayment shall be made (the “Prepayment Date”), which date shall be no later than ten (10) days after the date of such receipt. Any Lender declining such prepayment (each, a “Declining Lender”) shall give written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. two (2) Business Days immediately preceding the Prepayment Date. On the Prepayment Date, an amount equal to that portion of the Prepayment Amount accepted by the Term Loan Lenders other than the Declining Lenders (such accepting Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) to prepay Term Loans owing to such Accepting Lenders shall be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent to prepay Term Loans owing to such Accepting Lenders in the manner described in clause (vi) below for such mandatory prepayment. Any amounts that would otherwise have been applied to prepay Term Loans owing to Declining Lenders shall be returned to the Borrower on the Prepayment Date.”
(c) Limitation on Restricted Payments. Section 11.6(f) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“(f) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such distribution, the Borrower may declare and make (and each Subsidiary of the Borrower may declare and make to enable the Borrower to do the same) Restricted Payments to Holdings so that Holdings may, and Holdings shall be permitted to, declare and pay dividends to the holders of its Capital Stock and repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for value any Capital Stock of Holdings (collectively, the “share

repurchases”); provided, that the aggregate amount of all such dividends and share repurchases (after giving effect to such dividends and share repurchase) shall not exceed $25,000,000 in any Fiscal Year less the aggregate amount of all payments, prepayments, redemptions and other acquisitions for value of the Senior Subordinated Notes made pursuant to Section 11.9(b)(D) during such Fiscal Year unless, both immediately prior to and after giving pro forma effect to such dividend or share repurchase, (i) the ratio of (A) the sum of (x) Consolidated Total Indebtedness as of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter ending on or immediately prior to such dividend or share repurchase for which financial statements are available (such date, the “repurchase calculation date”), minus (y) if, as of the repurchase calculation date, there are no Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding, the amount of unencumbered cash and Cash Equivalents (other than cash and Cash Equivalents encumbered by Liens securing the Obligations hereunder) held by Holdings and its Subsidiaries on such repurchase calculation date to (B) Consolidated EBITDA for the period of four (4) consecutive Fiscal Quarters ending on or immediately prior to such repurchase calculation date is less than 2.00 to 1.00 and (ii) the amount by which the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment as of the repurchase calculation date exceeds the Revolving Credit Outstandings as of the repurchase calculation date is greater than $100,000,000;”
(d) Prepayments of Senior Subordinated Notes. Section 11.9(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new clause (D) thereto:
“(D) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, payments, prepayments, redemptions or other acquisitions for value of the Senior Subordinated Notes; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of all such payments, prepayments, redemptions or other acquisitions for value shall not exceed $25,000,000 in any Fiscal Year less the aggregate amount of all dividends and share repurchases made pursuant to Section 11.6(f) during such Fiscal Year unless, both immediately prior to and after giving pro forma effect to such payment, prepayment, redemption or other acquisition, (i) the ratio of (A) the sum of (x) Consolidated Total Indebtedness as of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter ending on or immediately prior to such payment, prepayment, redemption or acquisition for which financial statements are available (such date, the “calculation date”) minus (y) if, as of the calculation date, there are no Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding, the amount of unencumbered cash and Cash Equivalents (other than cash and Cash Equivalents encumbered by Liens securing the Obligations hereunder) held by Holdings and its Subsidiaries on such calculation date to (B) Consolidated EBITDA for the period of four (4) consecutive Fiscal Quarters ending on or immediately prior to such calculation date is less than 2.00 to 1.00 and (ii) the amount by which the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment as of the calculation date exceeds the Revolving Credit Outstandings as of the calculation date is greater than $100,000,000.”
