INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

     WHEREAS, the Lenders have made available to the Borrower certain credit facilities pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement.

     WHEREAS, the Borrower deems it advisable to write down all or a substantial portion of its goodwill as a result of Public Co.’s publicly-traded common stock presently trading below a price sufficient to support the Borrower carrying the full amount of such goodwill as an asset on its consolidated balance sheet.

     WHEREAS, the Borrower, Parent, the Guarantors, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.

     NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

          SECTION 1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given them in the Credit Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as amended by this Amendment).

          SECTION 2. Amendments to the Credit Agreement Upon Amendment Effective Date. Upon the occurrence of the Amendment Effective Date (as set forth in Section 3 hereof), the following amendments are hereby made to the Credit Agreement, with full force and effect as of December 31, 2008:

          (A) Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by:

          (1) deleting the definition of “Consolidated Net Income” appearing therein and inserting in lieu thereof the following replacement definition:

“Consolidated Net Income” shall mean, for any period for which such amount is being determined, the consolidated net income of such Person after taxes for such period in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that, without duplication, (i) any net after-tax

income or loss from discontinued operations and any net after-tax gain or loss on disposal of discontinued operations shall be excluded, (ii) any net after-tax gain or loss (less all fees and expenses or charges relating thereto) attributable to business dispositions or asset dispositions other than in the ordinary course of business (as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Borrower) shall be excluded, (iii) any net after-tax income or loss (less all fees and expenses or charges relating thereto) attributable to the early extinguishment of indebtedness shall be excluded, (iv) any non-cash compensation expense realized from or related to profit interest awards, grants of stock appreciation or similar rights, stock options or other rights to directors, officers and employees of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall be excluded, (v) Consolidated Net Income for such period shall not include the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles during such period, (vi) solely for purposes of determining compliance with Section 6.14 and the other provisions of the Credit Agreement determined with reference to Section 6.14, Consolidated Net Income for such period shall not include any impairment of goodwill or any impairment or amortization of items included in the balance sheet (in a manner not inconsistent with the Borrower’s unaudited balance sheet as of December 31, 2008) as “Intangible assets, net”, and (vii) Consolidated Net Income shall not include any non-cash gains or non-cash losses of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries relating to changes in fair value of, and accounting related to, interest rate derivatives or foreign exchange derivatives; provided, further, that for purposes of determinations of Consolidated Net Income, it shall be assumed that amounts actually paid or payable by the Borrower to the Parent pursuant to Section 6.5(b)(i) were taxes expensed by the Borrower.

          (2) deleting the definition of “Consolidated Net Worth” appearing therein and inserting the following new definition in appropriate alphabetical order:

“Consolidated Tangible Net Worth” shall mean: as at any date of determination, the total member’s equity of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries, less any goodwill and any items included in the balance sheet (in a manner not inconsistent with the Borrower’s unaudited balance sheet as of December 31, 2008) as “Intangible assets, net” of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries and excluding the “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” component of member’s equity to the extent such component is associated with non-cash gains or non-cash losses relating to changes in fair value of, and accounting related to, interest rate derivatives or foreign exchange derivatives, all as determined in accordance with GAAP, provided, that Borrower may (without duplication) add back to Consolidated Tangible Net Worth the amount of any deductions therefrom relating to the fees, premiums, penalties, costs and expenses arising out of refinancing or repayment of the Facilities and the

Second Lien Facility (including any applicable OID charges) from time to time (including (x) such fees, premiums, penalties, costs and expenses capitalized by the Borrower on or prior to December 31, 2008 and being amortized over the term of the Facilities or the Second Lien Facility, as applicable, and (y) the retirement of all or a portion of the “Obligations” (as defined in the Second Lien Agreement) in connection with the Qualified IPO in June 2008 but not the fee paid to the Kelso Group in exchange for terminating the Management Agreement).

          (B) Section 6.14 of the Credit Agreement is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:

          “SECTION 6.14. Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth. Subject to adjustments in connection with Specified Equity Contributions as specified in Section 1.2 hereof, permit the Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to be less than 80% of their Consolidated Tangible Net Worth on December 31, 2008 (which is equal to $194,528,000, which amount is the balance in the financial statements prior to audit) and, as of December 31^st of each subsequent fiscal year the minimum amount applicable during the prior fiscal year plus 75% of the proceeds of the issuance of any Equity Interests (other than such as are Specified Equity Contributions) raised during such fiscal year, plus 75% of the Consolidated Net Income (without any deduction for Consolidated Net Income of less than zero) of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries for such fiscal year. The minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth computed pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 6.14 shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of dividends made in compliance with Section 6.5(b)(iii) hereof. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, within one-hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year, demonstrating compliance with this Section 6.14.”

          SECTION 5. Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time, upon the Administrative Agent’s request and at the sole expense of the Credit Parties, each Credit Party will promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all further instruments and documents and take such further action as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary to effect the purposes of this Amendment.

Whenever the Credit Agreement is referred to in the Credit Agreement or any of the instruments, agreements or other documents or papers executed or delivered in connection therewith, such reference shall be deemed to mean the Credit Agreement as modified by this Amendment.
