(j) solely with
respect to the Additional Real Estate Collateral, (1) such
minor imperfections in title and other encumbrances as shall be
shown as exceptions acceptable to the Collateral Agent on the Title
Commitment for such Additional Real Estate Collateral, and
(2) any Lien securing financing of Additional Real Estate
Collateral in connection with a transaction complying in all
respects with Section 4.08(g) of this Agreement;

to Real Property Interests other than Pledged Real Estate
Collateral and Additional Real Estate Collateral, Liens on Real

discretion.
“ Pricing
Tier ” shall mean the agreed pricing tiers for the
calculation of LIBOR Margin and Undrawn Commitment Fees which are
based on the EBITDA/Interest Coverage Ratio applicable to the
Borrowers for the preceding fiscal quarter, with such pricing tier
to be applicable from the first day of the calendar month following
the public release of the Borrowers’ financial reports for
the immediately preceding fiscal quarter through the last day of
the calendar
9
month during
which the Borrowers shall publicly release their financial reports
for the immediately succeeding fiscal quarter, as

By way of example
and not limitation, (a) if the Borrowers publicly release
their financial reports for the fiscal quarter ended March 31
on April 25 and publicly release their financial reports for
the fiscal quarter ended June 30 on August 5, then from
May 1 until August 31 the Pricing Tier in effect shall be the
Pricing Tier determined in accordance with the financial reports
released on April 25, and (b) if the EBITDA/Interest Coverage
Ratio for the fiscal quarter ended March 31 is greater than or
equal to 3.00 but less than 3.50, then during the period specified
in (a) above the Borrowers would be in Pricing Tier II. If for
any reason the Borrowers fail to provide the financial statements
necessary to calculate the EBITDA/Interest Coverage Ratio within
thirty (30) days after written notice from the Administrative
Agent, the Default Rate shall apply retroactively from the date
when such necessary financial statements originally were due
(without reference to such written notice from the Administrative
Agent or such thirty-day period) until such necessary financial
statements are provided by Borrowers.
“
Required Lenders ” shall mean, at any time, any
Lenders holding at least sixty-six and two thirds percent (66-2/3%)
of the sum of the Commitments, or if the Commitments have been
terminated, the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Advances and shall also represent a majority of the number of
Lenders; provided, however , that “Required
Lenders” shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the Lenders
with respect to any action taken or proposed to be taken by the
Lenders: (a) to increase the Commitment of the Lenders or the
Commitment Amount; (b) to reduce or waive payment of any
principal, interest, or fees payable to the Lenders (it being
agreed, however, that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral
Agent, as applicable, without the consent of any other Lender, may
reduce or waive fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent, as applicable); (c) to modify or waive
compliance with any of the Borrowers’ financial covenants, or
to change the manner in which such financial covenants are
calculated; (d) to make any material extension of scheduled
maturities or times for payment; (e) to establish or revise
any Availability Reserve, to make changes in the Borrowing Base, to
increase advance rates with respect to the Borrowing Base or to

Borrower, other than as specifically required by the terms of
the
10

(h) to change the structure of the financing contemplated by
this Agreement; (i) to change the definition of
“Required Lenders”; or (j) to change the
composition of the Lenders in a manner which would dilute the
voting rights of any Lender, except as otherwise provided in
Article IX of this Agreement.
“
Termination Date ” shall mean May 31, 2011;
provided, however , that upon the Company’s request
such date may be extended for two successive periods of one year
each with the prior written consent of all of the Lenders for each
such annual extension.

has been (a) previously sold at retail, (b) registered or

definition of “Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio”), “

3.
Changes to Section 2.01(a) Relating to the Revolving Loans
and Letters of Credit . Section 2.01(a) is hereby
revised to read in its entirety as follows:
(a)
Commitment for Revolving Credit . The Lenders severally
agree, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to
make Advances to the Borrowers in respect of the Commitment from
time to time until the Termination Date. The following rules shall
govern the amount of the Advances:
(1)
The aggregate outstanding amount of such Advances may equal but
shall never exceed the lesser of (A) the Commitment Amount,
and (B) the Borrowing Base. For purpose of this test, any
Letter of Credit outstanding under paragraph (3) below shall
be deemed an Advance.
(2)
Borrowers and Lenders agree to add an accordion feature to the
Commitment. Consequently, if (A) no Default or Event of
Default exists or would result therefrom, (B) Borrowers obtain
commitments from Lenders and/or other persons who would qualify as
assignees for such increased amounts, (C) any new Lender
suggested by Borrowers is approved by the Required Lenders, and
(D) appropriate definitive loan documentation is executed and
delivered by the parties, at Borrowers’ election the
aggregate maximum principal amount of the Commitments may be
increased from time to time after the Effective Date, provided,
however, that (i) the aggregate amount of the Commitment
Amount does not exceed five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000),
(ii) each such increase shall be in a minimum amount of thirty
million dollars ($30,000,000),
11
and with each
new Lender to have a minimum commitment of at least eighteen
million dollars ($18,000,000), and (iii) Borrowers shall first
offer to the existing Lenders the right to commit to the increased
amount, but no existing Lender shall be required to commit to any
such increased amount. No such increase shall increase any
sub-limit set forth in this Agreement, and no Lender shall be
obligated to participate in any such increase.
(3)
There is hereby established a sub-limit for Letters of Credit in
the aggregate amount not exceeding the LC Commitment of seven
million dollars ($7,000,0000). The issuance of any Letter of Credit
pursuant to the LC Commitment shall be subject to the further terms
specified in Section 2.13 of this Agreement. In connection
with any outstanding Letter of Credit, Borrowers will accrue an
annual letter of credit fee (the “Letter of Credit
Fee”) equal to the higher of (A) five hundred dollars
($500), or (B) the amount determined in accordance with
Section 2.05 of this Agreement on an Advance equal to the
maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.
The minimum Letter of Credit Fee for any Letter of Credit
(irrespective of the amount or duration of such Letter of Credit)
shall be five hundred dollars ($500). The accrued Letter of Credit
Fee for each Letter of Credit shall be payable quarterly in
arrears, commencing on the effective date of the Letter of Credit.
In addition to the Letter of Credit Fee, at the time of issuance of
each Letter of Credit Borrowers and the Issuing Bank shall
negotiate an issuance fee for such Letter of Credit to be paid at
the time of issuance and to be retained by the Issuing
Bank.
(4)
No Lender shall be permitted or required to make any Advance in
respect of the Commitment if, after giving effect thereto, the
principal amount of such Lender’s total outstanding Advances
would exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the
Commitment Amount.
Because the
Commitment creates a revolving credit facility, the Borrowers may
borrow under the Commitment, repay such Advances without premium or
penalty, and reborrow prior to the Termination Date in accordance
with this Agreement.
