RECITALS

A. The Borrower and the Bank are parties to a Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August 31, 2007 (as amended, modified or supplemented prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Bank agreed to make loans to, and issue letters of credit on behalf of, the Borrower.

B. The Borrower intends to issue up to $150,000,000 of senior, unsecured convertible notes (the “Offering”) proceeds of which will be used to fund the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of substantially all of the assets of Teledrift, Inc. (“Teledrift”) and for general corporate purposes.

C. The issuance of indebtedness under the Offering and the Acquisition are not permitted under the Credit Agreement.

D. The Borrower and the Bank had originally contemplated entering into a new, syndicated revolving and term credit facility (the “New Facility”) to be agented by the Bank which New Facility would have permitted the Offering and the Acquisition.
