Credit Agreement

On October 26, 2012, we entered into a Credit Agreement that provides for senior unsecured facilities in an initial aggregate principal amount of up to $225 million (the “Credit Facilities”). The Credit Facilities are comprised of (a) a term loan facility in an initial aggregate principal amount of $60 million (the “Term Loan”); and (b) a revolving credit facility in an initial aggregate principal amount of up to $165 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Credit Facilities are guaranteed by all of our material wholly-owned subsidiaries. We may increase the aggregate loan amount under the Credit Facilities by a maximum amount of $100 million subject to receipt from the lenders, at their sole discretion, of commitments totaling the requested amount and the satisfaction of other terms and conditions.

The Revolving Credit Facility provides for and includes within its $165 million limit a $15 million swingline facility and commitments for up to $50 million in letters of credit. The Revolving Credit Facility may be used to provide ongoing working capital and for other general corporate purposes. The final maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility is October 26, 2017.

The proceeds of the Term Loan and existing cash were used to pay off our existing term loan under our $250 million Revolving Credit Facility dated March 26, 2008 with a principal balance of $15 million and a portion of our existing senior notes with a principal balance of $60 million. The final maturity of the Term Loan is October 26, 2017. The Term Loan will amortize beginning December 31, 2012 in 20 equal quarterly installments of $3.0 million (subject to adjustment for prepayments), with the remaining balance due upon maturity.

The interest rate in connection with the Credit Facilities shall be selected from the following by us: (i) the ABR Rate plus the Applicable Margin (the “Base Rate Advance”) (a) or (ii) the Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin (the “Eurodollar Rate Advance”). The ABR Rate means the greatest of the Prime Rate, (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% per annum and (c) the Eurodollar Rate for an interest period of one month plus 1% per annum. The “Eurodollar Rate” means the rate at which Eurodollar deposits in the London interbank market for an interest period of one, two, three or six months (as selected by us) are quoted. The “Applicable Margin” means 1.50% per annum for Base Rate Advances and 2.50% per annum for Eurodollar Rate Advances, subject to adjustment to an amount equal to 1.25% per annum or 1.75% per annum for Base Rate Advances, and to an amount equal to 2.25% per annum or 2.75% per annum for Eurodollar Rate Advances, in each case depending on our leverage ratio at the end of each quarter.

The Credit Agreement requires us to meet two financial covenants. One is a leverage ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and the second is a fixed charge coverage ratio of adjusted EBITDA plus rent expense (“EBITDAR”) (less capital expenditures less cash taxes) to scheduled debt repayments plus interest expense plus rent expense. The Credit Agreement also contains customary covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on (a) incurrence of liens; (b) incurrence of additional debt; (c) sales of assets and other fundamental corporate changes; (d) investments; (e) declarations of dividends; and (f) capital expenditures. These covenants contain customary exclusions and baskets.

The Credit Agreement requires at all times that we (i) provide guaranties from wholly-owned subsidiaries that in the aggregate represent not less than 95% of our consolidated net revenues and adjusted EBITDA from all wholly-owned subsidiaries, (ii) provide guarantees from subsidiaries that in the aggregate represent not less than 70% of consolidated adjusted EBITDA, subject to certain exceptions and (iii) provide guarantees from any other subsidiary that is a guarantor of the indebtedness evidenced by our senior notes.

Amendment and Waiver to Note Purchase Agreement

In addition, on October 26, 2012, we entered into an Amendment (the “Amendment”) and a Waiver (the “Waiver”) to our Note Purchase Agreement dated March 25, 2008 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, we issued and sold on March 26, 2008, three series of senior notes. The Amendment and the Waiver collectively permit us to repay $15 million of our Series A Senior Notes, $10 Million of our Series B Senior Notes and $35 million of our Series C Senior Notes, in each case prior to their stated date of maturity. A prepayment fee of $3.6 million was made in connection with the repayment of the senior notes. The Amendment also generally conforms the Note Purchase Agreement covenants (including exclusions and baskets) to the covenants included in our new Credit Agreement. In addition, as amended by the Amendment, the Note Purchase Agreement financial covenants are identical to those described above with respect to the Credit Agreement.

The Notes are guaranteed by all of our material wholly-owned subsidiaries. As amended by the Amendment, the Note Purchase Agreement requires at all times that we (i) provide guaranties from wholly-owned subsidiaries that in the aggregate represent not less than 95% of our consolidated net revenues and adjusted EBITDA from all wholly-owned subsidiaries, (ii) provide guarantees from subsidiaries that in the aggregate represent not less than 70% of consolidated adjusted EBITDA, subject to certain exceptions and (iii) provide guarantees from any other subsidiary that is a guarantor under the Credit Agreement.

Termination of $250 Million Revolving Credit Facility

In connection with the execution of the new Credit Agreement and the amendment and waiver to the Note Purchase Agreement, our $250 million Revolving Credit Facility dated as of March 26, 2008 was terminated.
