All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings provided such terms in the Credit Agreement (immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Second Amendment).

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as syndication agent, are parties to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of June 15, 2007, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of July 9, 2008 (as so amended, the “Credit Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to make certain modifications to the Credit Agreement as set forth herein;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed:

 

I. Amendments to Credit Agreement

 

1.        Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the existing definition of “Leverage Ratio” contained therein with the following new definition:

Leverage Ratio” means, at any time, the ratio of:

 

 

(a)

Corporate Debt at such time;

to

(b)     Corporate EBITDA for the four consecutive Fiscal Quarters ending on the last day of the Fiscal Quarter most recently completed prior to or at such time; provided, however, that, for purposes of determining Corporate EBITDA solely for purposes of determining compliance with Section 8.2.4 at any time during the period from and including September 30, 2008 to and including November 30, 2008 (and not for any other purpose), the “Fiscal Quarter most recently completed prior to or at such time” shall be deemed to be the Fiscal Quarter ending on June 30, 2008 (notwithstanding that a more recent Fiscal Quarter may in fact have been completed and without regard to any financial or other information then available with respect to such more recent Fiscal Quarter).

 

 

 

2.         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Credit Agreement, for the period from and including September 22, 2008 through and including November 30, 2008 (the “Amendment Period”), neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries may (i) make any Investments pursuant to Section 8.2.5(c) of the Credit Agreement in connection with entering into any Permitted Business Acquisition or pursuant to Section 8.2.5(k) of the Credit Agreement (other than, in the case of clause (k), such Investments in the ordinary course of business and otherwise within the parameters set forth in such clause (k)), (ii) make any Distributions pursuant to (x) subclause (iv) of the proviso to Section 8.2.6(a) of the Credit Agreement or (y) Section 8.2.6(b) of the Credit Agreement, (iii) make any Capital Expenditures pursuant to Section 8.2.7(c) of the Credit Agreement or (iv) enter into any Permitted Business Acquisitions or Excepted Acquisitions pursuant to Section 8.2.9(b) of the Credit Agreement (it being understood that all such activities may be made after the Amendment Period to the extent otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement at such time).

3.         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Credit Agreement, during the Amendment Period, the Borrower will not be permitted to incur any additional Loans or have any additional Enhancement Letters of Credit issued (it being understood that such Credit Extensions may resume after the Amendment Period to the extent otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement at such time).

4.         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Credit Agreement, during the Amendment Period (and only during the Amendment Period), the Borrower shall maintain at least $60,000,000 in the aggregate of Unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalent Investments in one or more separate deposit and/or securities accounts at Bank of Oklahoma, N.A. (collectively, the “Amendment Period Account”); provided that any or all amounts maintained in the Amendment Period Account may be disbursed at any time or from time to time during the Amendment Period for the prepayment of outstanding Loans and/or the payment of unpaid Reimbursement Obligations. The Borrower shall provide prompt written notice to the Agent of any disbursement from the Amendment Period Account during the Amendment Period that results in a reduction of the aggregate amount maintained therein to an amount that is less than $60,000,000 (or such lesser minimum amount then required to be maintained therein as a result of any prior disbursement permitted under the proviso to the preceding sentence).

II. Miscellaneous Provisions.

 

1.         In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Second Amendment, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants that:

(a)       no Default or Event of Default exists on the Second Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), immediately before and after giving effect to this Second Amendment; and

(b)       all of the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Second Amendment Effective Date immediately before and after giving effect to this Second Amendment, with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the Second Amendment Effective Date (it being understood that any representation or warranty made as of a specific date shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such specific date).

2.         This Second Amendment is limited as specified and shall not constitute a modification, acceptance or waiver of any other provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document (it being understood that any Compliance Certificate or other certificate or document delivered pursuant to the Credit Agreement shall reflect the Leverage Ratio calculation solely for the purposes of Section 8.2.4 of the Credit Agreement as modified pursuant to this Second Amendment).

3.         This Second Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts when executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A complete set of counterparts shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

4.         THIS SECOND AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
