A. Agent, Lenders and Borrowers have previously entered into that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2004 (as amended, the Agreement).
B. Borrowers, Agent and Lenders desire to amend the Agreement as provided for and on the conditions herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, Borrowers, Agent and Lenders hereby amend and supplement the Agreement as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS. All initially capitalized terms used in this amendment shall have the meanings given to them in the agreement unless specifically defined herein.
2. AMENDMENTS TO THE AGREEMENT.
(a) Section 2.6(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:
2.13 LIBOR Option.
(a) Interest Rates. Except as provided in clause (c) below, all Obligations (except for Bank Product Obligations) whether or not charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof as follows (i) if the relevant Obligation is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans, and (ii) otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans.
(b) Section 2.13 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:
(a) Interest and Interest Payment Dates. In lieu of having interest charged at the rate based upon the Base Rate, Borrowers shall have the option (the LIBOR Option) to have interest on all or a portion of the Advances be charged at a rate of interest based upon the LIBOR Rate. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans shall be payable on the earliest of (i) the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default in consequence of which the Required Lenders or Agent on behalf thereof have elected to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Obligations, or (iii) termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof. On the last day of each applicable Interest Period, unless Administrative Borrower properly has exercised the LIBOR Option with respect thereto, the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall convert to the rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans of the same type hereunder. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers no longer shall have the option to request that Advances bear interest at a rate based upon the LIBOR
1
Rate and Agent shall have the right to convert the interest rate on all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder.
(b) LIBOR Election.
(i) Administrative Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, elect to exercise the LIBOR Option by notifying Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (California time) at least 3 Business Days prior to the commencement of the proposed Interest Period (the LIBOR Deadline). Notice of Administrative Borrowers election of the LIBOR Option for a permitted portion of the Advances and an Interest Period pursuant to this Section shall be made by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline, or by telephonic notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline (to be confirmed by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. (California time) on the same day). Promptly upon its receipt of each such LIBOR Notice, Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each of the Lenders having a Revolver Commitment.
(ii) Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrowers. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, each Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and the Lenders harmless against any loss, cost, or expense incurred by Agent or any Lender as a result of (a) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any LIBOR Notice delivered pursuant hereto (such losses, costs, and expenses, collectively, Funding Losses). Funding Losses shall, with respect to Agent or any Lender, be deemed to equal the amount determined by Agent or such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable thereto, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period therefor), minus (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which Agent or such Lender would be offered were it to be offered, at the commencement of such period, Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period in the London interbank market. A certificate of Agent or a Lender delivered to Administrative Borrower setting forth any amount or amounts that Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iii) Borrowers shall have not more than 5 LIBOR Rate Loans in effect at any given time. Borrowers only may exercise the LIBOR Option for LIBOR Rate Loans of at least $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
(c) Prepayments. Borrowers may prepay LIBOR Rate Loans at any time; provided, however, that in the event that LIBOR Rate Loans are prepaid on any date that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including as a result of any automatic prepayment through the required application by Agent of proceeds of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries Collections in accordance with Section 2.4(b) or for any other reason, including early termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or any portion of the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, each Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and the Lenders and their Participants harmless against any and all Funding Losses in accordance with clause (b)(ii) above.
2
(d) Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate.
(i) The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs, in each case, due to changes in applicable law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including changes in tax laws (except changes of general applicability in corporate income tax laws) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), excluding the Reserve Percentage, which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give Administrative Borrower and Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, Administrative Borrower may, by notice to such affected Lender (y) require such Lender to furnish to Administrative Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (z) repay the LIBOR Rate Loans with respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due under clause (b)(ii) above).
(ii) In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation of application thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Advances or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Agent and Administrative Borrower and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and (y) in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, the date specified in such Lenders notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loans, and interest upon the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (z) Borrowers shall not be entitled to elect the LIBOR Option until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so.
(e) No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR Rate. The provisions of this Section shall apply as if each Lender or its Participants had match funded any Obligation as to which interest is accruing at the LIBOR Rate by acquiring eurodollar deposits for each Interest Period in the amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans.
(c) Section 3.3 of the Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:
3.3 Term. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on January 5, 2010 (the Maturity Date). The foregoing notwithstanding, the Lender Group, upon the election of the Required Lenders, shall have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement immediately and without notice upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default.

A. Agent, Lenders and Borrowers have previously entered into that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2004 (as amended, the Credit Agreement).
B. In connection with the Credit Agreement, Borrowers delivered to Agent the Fee Letter, dated as of December 21, 2004, pursuant to which terms the Borrowers agreed to pay certain fees to Agent, for its sole and separate account and not the account of any Lender (the Fee Letter).
C. Agent and Lenders desire to amend the Fee Letter as provided for and on the conditions herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, Borrowers, Agent and Lenders hereby amend and supplement the Fee Letter as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS. All initially capitalized terms used in this amendment shall have the meanings given to them in the Fee Letter unless specifically defined herein.
2. AMENDMENTS TO THE FEE LETTER.
(a) Section 1 of the Fee Letter is hereby amended to read as follows:
1. Closing Fee. (i) A closing fee of $250,000, which fee shall be earned in full on the closing of Amendment Number Two to the Credit Agreement (the Closing) and shall be due and payable on the Closing and (ii) an anniversary fee of $125,000 which fee shall be earned in full on the Closing and shall be due and payable on the Closing.
(b) Section 3 of the Fee Letter is hereby amended to read as follows:
3. Unused Line Fee. An unused line fee in an amount equal to:
(A) if the average Daily Balance of outstanding Advances is equal to or greater than $20,000,000 during the month immediately preceding the date of determination, .25% per annum times the lesser of: (i) the difference of the average Daily Balance of Advances that were outstanding during the immediately preceding the date of determination of the Maximum Credit Amount and (ii) $75,000,000, or

5. Prepayment Premium. If Administrative Borrower has sent a notice of termination pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.5 of the Credit Agreement, then on the date set forth as the date of termination of the Credit Agreement in such notice, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, in cash, the Applicable Prepayment Premium.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Applicable Prepayment Premium will be waived in its entirety if the Agreement is terminated prior to the Maturity Date (and the Obligations thereunder paid in full) and: (i) such repayment or termination is the result of Borrowers public or private placement of unsecured subordinated convertible debt, equity, or the sale of substantially all the stock or assets of any Borrower to a Person that is not an Affiliate of any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower and such termination and repayment occurs within 60 days of the relevant subordinated debt or equity placement or sale or (ii) the following occur: (x) the Borrowers request that the Lender Group approve an amendment (the Requested Amendment) to the Notes or the Indenture (as defined in Section 6.7(a) of the Credit Agreement), (y) the Lender Group does not approve the Requested Amendment, and (z) the Notes and/or the Indenture are amended in accordance with the terms of the Requested Amendment and the Lender Group does not waive any Events of Default arising from such amendment.
3. CONDITION PRECEDENT. The effectiveness of this Amendment is expressly conditioned upon receipt by Agent of a fully executed copy of this Amendment.
4. COSTS AND EXPENSES. Borrowers shall pay to Agent all of Agents out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its counsel, which counsel may include any local counsel deemed necessary, search fees, filing and recording fees, documentation fees, appraisal fees, travel expenses, and other fees) arising in connection with the preparation, execution, and delivery of this Amendment and all related documents.
