Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings given in the New Credit Agreement. The foregoing description of the New Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the New Credit Agreement, a copy of which is filed as exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
