Interest
Interest on borrowings under the Series E Incremental Loan Agreement is calculated, at the
Borrowers option, at a base rate equal to (a) either of the following rates, plus (b) the
applicable spread above such base rate (as described below):
with respect to base rate borrowings, the Adjusted Base Rate, which is equal to the higher
of (i) the rate publicly announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its prime lending rate and (ii)
the applicable federal funds rate plus 0.5%; or
with respect to eurodollar rate borrowings, the rate at which eurodollar deposits for one,
two, three or six months (as selected by us), or nine or twelve months (with the consent of the
lenders), are quoted on the Dow Jones Telerate Screen multiplied by the statutory reserve rate
(determined based on maximum reserve percentages established by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System of the United States of America).
The spread applicable to borrowings under the Incremental Loan Agreement is determined by reference
to our trailing leverage ratio as follows.

permit the Series E and Series F Incremental Loans to be borrowed up to an aggregate of $575.0
million and restore the amount available for additional incremental loans to $500.0 million (which,

Incremental Loans) and (ii) delete the Interest Coverage Ratio, the Senior Coverage Ratio
financial covenants and the step-down to 5.75x in the Total Debt Ratio financial covenant. Our
