The supplemental indenture (the "Supplemental Indenture") amends and supplements the Indenture, dated as of August 26, 2003 by and among the Company, ACSH, the other guarantors named therein, and The Bank of New York, as trustee (as amended and supplemented, the "Indenture"), pursuant to which ACSH&#x2019;s 9 7/8% Senior Notes due 2011 (the "Notes") were issued.  The Supplemental Indenture became operative on February 23, 2006 upon the acceptance and payment by ACSH of all Notes tendered prior to 5:00 pm on February 21, 2006.  The amendments contained in the Supplemental Indenture eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain of the events of default provisions contained in the Indenture, and certain other provisions contained in the Indenture are modified or eliminated. A copy of the Supplemental Indenture is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.<br><br>On February 22, 2006, the Company and ACSH entered into an amendment to ACSH&#x2019;s existing credit facility.  The amendment (the "Amendment") amends the Credit Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2005 (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"), by and among the Company, ACSH, the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time party thereto, as lenders, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, acting through its New York Agency, as administrative agent, CIBC World Markets Corp., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Banc of America Securities LLC, as co-lead arrangers and joint book managers, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as syndication agent, and Bank of America, N.A., as documentation agent.  The Amendment added an incremental term loan facility to the Credit Agreement of up to $56.95 million, lowered the interest rate applicable to term loans, increased the maximum permitted senior secured leverage ratio to 4.40 to 1, and contained certain other amendments and modifications to the provisions of the Credit Agreement.  As amended by the Amendment, term loans under the Credit Agreement will accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the adjusted London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) plus 175 basis points.  A copy of the Amendment is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated by reference herein.<br>
