Accordingly, in consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

In accordance with the proviso contained in Section 2.05(b) of the Credit Agreement, no Early Termination Fee shall be payable with respect to such initial voluntary partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that this Amendment shall be deemed to be a written notice of such election which complies with the requirements of Section 2.07(c) of the Credit Agreement. The amount of the LC Commitment and the Swingline Commitment shall remain unchanged.
