The Facility may be increased through an incremental facility, at the election of the Company, by an amount equal to $150 million plus additional amounts, so long as after giving effect to such additional amounts, the Company is in compliance with a secured leverage ratio of 2.75:1.00.

Certain subsidiaries of the Company will guarantee the Borrower’s obligations under the Agreement, pursuant to the terms set forth in the Agreement.

The term loan and revolving loans bear interest subject to a pricing grid based on a total leverage ratio, at LIBOR (as defined in the Agreement) plus a spread ranging from 1.25% to 2.00% per annum. Interest and fees payable under the Agreement shall be determined pursuant to the terms set forth in the Agreement.

The Agreement also contains certain affirmative and negative covenants customary for facilities of this type, including, furnishing to Lenders periodic financial information of the Company and reports and registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; maintenance of corporate existence and ability to do business; limitations on use of proceeds; limitations on activities of the Company; limitations on the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur additional debt, pay dividends and make other restricted payments, create liens, make investments and acquisitions, engage in sales of assets and subsidiary stock, enter into sale-leaseback transactions, enter into transactions with affiliates, transfer all or substantially all of our assets or enter into merger or consolidation transactions.
