Credit Facility bears interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus

default. After the maturity date or upon acceleration of the Note, the Note
shall bear interest until paid in full at an increased rate per annum equal to
2% above the then-existing interest rate.
In addition to containing affirmative covenants, the Credit Agreement also
includes negative covenants that, without Wells Fargo's approval, limit the

general working capital; (b) mortgage, pledge, grant or permit to exist a lien

of any other person or entity, except where (i) the business, division or
operating units acquired are for use, or the person acquired is engaged, in
businesses reasonably related to the businesses conducted by the Company at the
time of the acquisition, (ii) immediately before and after giving effect to the
acquisition, no event of default exists, (iii) the aggregate consideration to be
paid by the Company in connection with the acquisition (or any series of related
acquisitions) is less than $40,000,000 and all acquisitions after May 29, 2009
is less than $100,000,000, (iv) the board of directors or similar governing body
of the acquired person has approved such acquisition and such person shall not
have announced that it will oppose such acquisition or shall not have commenced
any action which alleges that such acquisition will violate any applicable law,
and (v) if the acquisition is structured as a merger, the Company is the
surviving entity.
The Credit Agreement also includes default provisions based upon (a) a
failure to pay principal, interest or other amounts within 5 days after the date
due under the Credit Agreement; (b) any financial statement or certificate, or
any representation or warranty, made by the Company under the Credit Agreement
