federal agency that has the backing of the full faith and credit of the United States) has assumed all of such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent.

If Borrower so requests, a Letter of Credit shall have an automatic renewal provision; provided that any Letter of Credit that has an automatic renewal provision must permit Agent (or the applicable Fronting Lender if the Fronting Lender is a Lender other than Agent) to prevent any such renewal by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than thirty (30) days prior to the renewal date of such Letter of Credit.

If any Letter of Credit is outstanding upon the termination of the Commitment, then, upon such termination, Borrower shall deposit with Agent, for the benefit of the Fronting Lender, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit, either cash or a Supporting Letter of Credit, which, in each case, is (A) in an amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the undrawn amount of the outstanding Letters of Credit, and (B) free and clear of all rights and claims of third parties (other than Agent, the Fronting Lender and the depository bank maintaining such deposit). The cash shall be deposited in an escrow account at a financial institution designated by the Fronting Lender. The Fronting Lender shall be entitled to withdraw (with respect to the cash) or draw (with respect to the Supporting Letter of Credit) amounts necessary to reimburse the Fronting Lender for payments to be made under the Letters of Credit and any fees and expenses associated with such Letters of Credit, or incurred pursuant to the reimbursement agreements with respect to such Letters of Credit. Borrower shall also execute such documentation as Agent or the Fronting Lender may reasonably require in connection with the survival of the Letters of Credit beyond the Commitment or this Agreement. After expiration of all undrawn Letters of Credit, the original Supporting Letter of Credit or the remainder of the cash, as the case may be, shall promptly be returned to Borrower.

(x) Requests for Letters of Credit When One or More Lenders are Affected Lenders. If a Letter of Credit is requested at such time that a Lender is an Affected Lender hereunder, then (A) such Letter of Credit may be issued to the extent that Agent (and the Fronting Lender) shall have entered into satisfactory (to Agent) arrangements (including, without limitation, the posting of cash collateral by the Affected Lender) with Borrower or such Affected Lender to eliminate or mitigate the reimbursement risk with respect to such Affected Lender, or (B) Agent may issue a Letter of Credit in an amount that is the amount of the requested Letter of Credit less the Commitment Percentage of such Affected Lender times the amount of the requested Letter of Credit.

(xi) Letters of Credit Issued and Outstanding When One or More Lenders are Affected Lenders. With respect to any Letters of Credit that have been issued and are outstanding at the time any Lender is an Affected Lender, Agent (and the Fronting Lender) shall have the right to request that Borrower or such Affected Lender cash collateralize, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent (and the Fronting Lender), such Letters of Credit so as to eliminate or mitigate the reimbursement risk with respect to such Affected Lender.

5. Additions to Swing Loans Provisions. Section 2.2(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the following new subsections (iv) and (v) at the end thereof:

(iv) Requests for Swing Loans When One or More Lenders are Affected Lenders. If a Swing Loan is requested at such time that a Lender is an Affected Lender hereunder, then (A) such Swing Loan may be issued to the extent that Agent shall have entered into satisfactory (to Agent) arrangements (including, without limitation, the posting of cash collateral by the Affected Lender) with Borrower or such Affected Lender to eliminate or mitigate the reimbursement risk with respect to such Affected Lender, or (B) Agent may issue a Swing Loan in an amount that is the amount of the requested Swing Loan less the Commitment Percentage of such Affected Lender times the amount of the requested Swing Loan.

(v) Swing Loans Outstanding When One or More Lenders are Affected Lenders. With respect to any Swing Loans that are outstanding at the time any Lender is an Affected Lender, Agent shall have the right to request that Borrower or such Affected Lender cash collateralize, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, such Swing Loans so as to eliminate or mitigate the reimbursement risk with respect to such Affected Lender.

6. Amendment to Interest Provisions. Section 2.3 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete subsection (c) therefrom and to insert in place thereof the following:

(c) Default Rate. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if an Event of Default shall occur, upon the election of Agent or the Required Lenders (i) the principal of each Loan and the unpaid interest thereon shall bear interest, until paid, at the Default Rate, (ii) the fee for the aggregate undrawn amount of all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit shall be increased by two percent (2%) in excess of the rate otherwise applicable thereto (as specified in Section 2.2(b)(iii) or (iv) hereof), and (iii) in the case of any other amount not paid when due from Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document, such amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate; provided that, during an Event of Default under Section 7.1 or 7.10 hereof, the applicable Default Rate shall apply without any election or action on the part of Agent or any Lender.

7. Addition to Funding of Loans Provisions. Section 2.5 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the following new subsection (e) at the end thereof:

(e) Advancing of Non Pro-Rata Revolving Loans. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Borrower requests a Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.5(a) hereof (and all conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.1 hereof are met) at a time when one or more Lenders are Defaulting Lenders, Agent shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to require (and, at the request of Borrower, shall require) the non-Defaulting Lenders to honor such request by making a non pro-rata Revolving Loan to Borrower in an amount equal to (i) the amount requested by Borrower, minus (ii) the portions of such Revolving Loan that should have been made by such Defaulting Lenders. For purposes of such Revolving Loans, the Lenders that are making such Revolving Loan shall do so in proportion to their Commitment Percentages of the amount requested by Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans made by a Lender (other than Swing Loans made

by the Swing Line Lender), when combined with such Lender’s pro rata share, if any, of the Letter of Credit Exposure and the Swing Line Exposure, be in excess of the Maximum Amount for such Lender.

8. Additions to Payment Provisions. Section 2.6 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the following new subsections (e) and (f) at the end thereof:

(e) Affected Lender. To the extent that Agent receives any payments or other amounts for the account of an Affected Lender, at the option of Agent or Borrower, such Affected Lender shall be deemed to have requested that Agent use such payment or other amount (or any portion thereof, at the discretion of Agent) first, to cash collateralize its unfunded risk participation in Swing Loans and the Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 2.2(b)(vi), 2.2(c)(iii), and 2.5(b) hereof, and, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, second, to fulfill its obligations to make Loans.

(f) Payment of Non Pro-Rata Revolving Loans. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at the sole discretion of Agent, in order to pay Revolving Loans that were not advanced pro rata by the Lenders, any payment of any Loan may first be applied to such Revolving Loans that were not advanced pro rata.

9. Amendment to Prepayment Provisions. Section 2.7 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete subsection (a) therefrom and to insert in place thereof the following:

(a) Right to Prepay.

(i) Borrower shall have the right at any time or from time to time to prepay, on a pro rata basis for all of the Lenders (except with respect to Swing Loans, which shall be paid to the Swing Line Lender), all or any part of the principal amount of the Loans, as designated by Borrower. Such payment shall include interest accrued on the amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment and any amount payable under Article III hereof with respect to the amount being prepaid.

(ii) Borrower shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, to prepay, for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender (and any Lender that has purchased a participation in such Swing Loan), all or any part of the principal amount of the Swing Loans then outstanding, as designated by Borrower, plus interest accrued on the amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.7 or otherwise to the contrary, at the discretion of Agent, in order to prepay Loans that were not advanced pro rata by all of the Lenders, any prepayment of a Loan shall first be applied to Loans made by the Lenders during any period in which a Defaulting Lender or Insolvent Lender shall exist.

10. Amendment to Fees Provisions. Section 2.8 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete subsection (b) therefrom and to insert in place thereof the following:

(b) Reserved.

11. Amendment to Modification of Commitment Provisions. Section 2.9 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete subsections (a) and (b) therefrom and to insert in place thereof, respectively, the following:

(a) Optional Reduction of Commitment. Borrower may at any time and from time to time reduce in whole or ratably in part the Total Commitment Amount to an amount not less than the then existing Revolving Credit Exposure, by giving Agent not fewer than three Business Days’ written notice of such reduction, provided that (i) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount, for all of the Lenders, of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), increased by increments of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), (ii) there shall be no more than two such reductions during any calendar year, and (iii) any such reduction that reduces the Total Commitment Amount to less than Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000) shall constitute a permanent reduction of the Total Commitment Amount and shall be effective during the remainder of the Commitment Period. Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the date of each such reduction and such Lender’s proportionate share thereof. After each such reduction, the facility fees payable hereunder shall be calculated upon the Total Commitment Amount as so reduced. If Borrower reduces in whole the Commitment, on the effective date of such reduction (Borrower having prepaid in full the unpaid principal balance, if any, of the Loans, together with all interest and facility, utilization and other fees accrued and unpaid, and provided that no Letter of Credit Exposure or Swing Line Exposure shall exist), all of the Notes shall be delivered to Agent marked “Canceled” and Agent shall redeliver such Notes to Borrower. Any partial reduction in the Total Commitment Amount shall be effective during the remainder of the Commitment Period (provided that the Total Commitment Amount may thereafter be increased during the Commitment Increase Period pursuant to Section 2.9(b) hereof). Upon each decrease of the Total Commitment Amount, the Maximum Commitment Amount shall be proportionally decreased.

(b) Increase in Commitment. At any time during the Commitment Increase Period, Borrower may request that Agent increase the Total Commitment Amount up to an amount that shall not exceed the Maximum Commitment Amount. Each such request for an increase shall be in an amount of at least Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), increased by increments of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), and may be made by either (i) increasing, for one or more Lenders, with their prior written consent, their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, or (ii) including one or more Additional Lenders, each with a new commitment under the Revolving Credit Commitment, as a party to this Agreement (each an “Additional Commitment” and, collectively, the “Additional Commitments”). During the Commitment Increase Period, all of the Lenders agree that Agent, in its sole discretion, may permit one or more Additional Commitments upon satisfaction of the following requirements: (A) each Additional Lender, if any, shall be an

Eligible Transferee and shall execute an Additional Lender Assumption Agreement, (B) Agent shall provide to Borrower and each Lender a revised Schedule 1 to this Agreement, including revised Commitment Percentages for each of the Lenders, if appropriate, at least three Business Days prior to the date of the effectiveness of such Additional Commitments (each an “Additional Lender Assumption Effective Date”), and (C) Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent and the Lenders such replacement or additional Revolving Credit Notes as shall be required by Agent (and requested by the Lenders). The Lenders hereby authorize Agent to execute each Additional Lender Assumption Agreement on behalf of the Lenders. On each Additional Lender Assumption Effective Date, the Lenders shall make adjustments among themselves with respect to the Revolving Loans then outstanding and amounts of principal, interest, facility fees and other amounts paid or payable with respect thereto as shall be necessary, in the opinion of Agent, in order to reallocate among such Lenders such outstanding amounts, based on the revised Commitment Percentages and to otherwise carry out fully the intent and terms of this Section 2.9(b) (and Borrower shall pay to the Lenders any amounts that would cause a prepayment of one or more Eurodollar Loans) In connection therewith, it is understood and agreed that the Maximum Amount of any Lender will not be increased (or decreased except pursuant to subsection (a) hereof) without the prior written consent of such Lender. Borrower shall not request any increase in the Total Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section 2.9(b) if a Default or an Event of Default shall then exist, or immediately after giving pro forma effect to any such increase would exist.

12. Amendment to Agency Provisions. Article IX of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete Sections 9.5, 9.6, 9.7, 9.8, 9.9 and 9.11 therefrom and to insert in place thereof, respectively, the following:

Section 9.5. Agent and Affiliates. KeyBank and its affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Companies and Affiliates as though KeyBank were not Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that, pursuant to such activities, KeyBank or its affiliates may receive information regarding any Company or any Affiliate (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Company or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to other Lenders. With respect to Loans and Letters of Credit (if any), KeyBank and its affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though KeyBank were not Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include KeyBank and its affiliates, to the extent applicable, in their individual capacities.

Section 9.6. Knowledge or Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless Agent has received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to

the Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that, unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable, in its discretion, for the protection of the interests of the Lenders.

Section 9.7. Action by Agent. Subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, so long as Agent shall be entitled, pursuant to Section 9.6 hereof, to assume that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent shall be entitled to use its discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any rights that may be vested in it by, or with respect to taking or refraining from taking any action or actions that it may be able to take under or in respect of, this Agreement. Agent shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, certificate, warranty or other paper or instrument believed by it to be genuine or authentic or to be signed by the proper party or parties, or with respect to anything that it may do or refrain from doing in the reasonable exercise of its judgment, or that may seem to it to be necessary or desirable in the premises. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent’s acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

Section 9.8. Release of Guarantor of Payment. In the event of a merger or consolidation or similar event, or as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement, Agent, at the request and expense of Borrower, is hereby authorized by the Lenders to release a Guarantor of Payment in connection with such permitted event.

Section 9.9. Indemnification of Agent. The Lenders agree to indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower) ratably, according to their respective Commitment Percentages, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in its capacity as agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by Agent with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or from any action taken or omitted by Agent in any capacity other than as agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. No action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.9. The undertaking in this Section 9.9 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, if any, expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit, termination of the Commitment, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Loan

Documents, termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of the agent.

Section 9.11. Other Agents. The financial institutions identified on the cover page of this Agreement or otherwise herein, or in any amendment hereof or other document related hereto, as being a “Joint Lead Arranger”, “Syndication Agent” or “Bookrunner” (collectively, the “Other Agents”) shall have no rights, powers, obligations, liabilities, responsibilities or duties under this Agreement other than, in the case of a Lender, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, the Other Agents shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on the Other Agents in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder or pursuant hereto.

13. Additions to Agent Provisions. Article IX of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the following new Sections 9.12, 9.13, 9.14 and 9.15 at the end thereof:

Section 9.12. Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 9.13. Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Swing Loans. The Swing Line Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (a) provided to Agent in this Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the Swing Loans as fully as if the term “Agent”, as used in this Article IX, included the Swing Line Lender with respect to such acts or omissions, and (b) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to the Swing Line Lender.

Section 9.14. Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, (a) Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to (i) file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and Agent) allowed in such judicial proceedings, and (ii) collect and receive any monies or

other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and (b) any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agent. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Section 9.15. No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on Agent to carry out such Lender’s or its affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other anti-terrorism law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with Borrower, its Affiliates or agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder: (a) any identity verification procedures, (b) any record keeping, (c) any comparisons with government lists, (d) any customer notices or (e) any other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws.

14. Amendment to Amendments and Consents Provisions. Article X of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete Section 10.3 therefrom and to insert in place thereof the following:

Section 10.3. Amendments, Consents.

(a) General Rule. No amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document nor consent to any variance therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders and, in the case of amendments or modifications, Borrower, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

(b) Exceptions to the General Rule. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 10.3:

(i) Unanimous Consent Requirements. Unanimous consent of the Lenders shall be required with respect to (A) any increase in the Commitment hereunder (except as specified in Section 2.9(b) hereof), (B) the extension of maturity of the Loans, the payment date of interest or scheduled principal hereunder, or the payment date of facility fees payable hereunder, (C) any

reduction in the stated rate of interest on the Loans (provided that the institution of the Default Rate or post default interest and a subsequent removal of the Default Rate or post default interest shall not constitute a decrease in interest rate pursuant to this Section 10.3), or in any amount of interest or scheduled principal due on any Loan, or any reduction in the stated rate of facility fees payable hereunder or any change in the manner of pro rata application of any payments made by Borrower to the Lenders hereunder, (D) any change in any percentage voting requirement, voting rights, or the Required Lenders definition in this Agreement, (E) the release of Borrower or any Guarantor of Payment, except as specifically permitted hereunder, or (F) any amendment to this Section 10.3 or Section 8.5 hereof.

(ii) Provisions Relating to Special Rights and Duties. No provision of this Agreement affecting Agent in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of Agent. No provision of this Agreement relating to the rights or duties of the Fronting Lender in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Fronting Lender. No provision of this Agreement relating to the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Swing Line Lender.

(c) Replacement of Non-Consenting Lender. If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, (i) the consent of all Lenders is required, but only the consent of Required Lenders is obtained, or (ii) the consent of Required Lenders is required, but the consent of the Required Lenders is not obtained (any Lender withholding consent as described in subsections (i) and (ii) hereof being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then Agent may (and shall, if requested by Borrower), at the sole expense of Borrower, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and Borrower, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with the restrictions contained in Section 10.10 hereof) all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Transferee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from such Eligible Transferee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts, including any breakage compensation under Article III hereof).

(d) Generally. Notice of amendments, waivers or consents ratified by the Lenders hereunder shall be forwarded by Agent to all of the Lenders. Each Lender or other holder of a Note, or if there is no Note, the holder of the interest as reflected on the books and records of Agent (or interest in any Loan or Letter of Credit) shall be bound by any amendment, waiver or consent obtained as authorized by this Section 10.3, regardless of its failure to agree thereto.

15. Additions to Miscellaneous Provisions. Article X of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the following new Sections 10.19, 10.20 and 10.21 at the end thereof:

Section 10.19. Replacement of Affected Lenders. Each Lender agrees that, during the time in which any Lender is an Affected Lender, Agent shall have the right (and Agent shall, if requested by Borrower), at the sole expense of Borrower, upon notice to such Affected Lender and Borrower, to require that such Affected Lender assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with the restrictions contained in Section 10.10 hereof), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Transferee, approved by Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall exist) and Agent, that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that such Affected Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (recognizing that any Affected Lender may have given up its rights under this Agreement to receive payment of fees and other amounts pursuant to Section 2.6(e) and (f) hereof), from such Eligible Transferee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts, including any breakage compensation under Article III hereof).

Section 10.20. Limitations on Liability of the Fronting Lender. Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letters of Credit. Neither the Fronting Lender nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by the Fronting Lender against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the account party on such Letter of Credit shall have a claim against the Fronting Lender, and the Fronting Lender shall be liable to such account party, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by such account party that such account party proves were caused by (i) the Fronting Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) in determining whether documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (ii) the Fronting Lender’s willful failure to make lawful payment under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of documentation strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Fronting Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation.

Section 10.21. No Duty. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, consultants and other professional persons (including the firms or other entities on behalf of which any

such Person may act) retained by Agent or any Lender with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to Borrower, any other Companies, or to any other Person, with respect to any matters within the scope of such representation or related to their activities in connection with such representation. Borrower agrees, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, not to assert any claim or counterclaim against any such persons with regard to such matters, all such claims and counterclaims, now existing or hereafter arising, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseeable, being hereby waived, released and forever discharged.

16. Amendments to Schedules. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete Schedule 1 (Commitments of Lenders), Schedule 2 (Guarantors of Payment) and Schedule 6.1 (Corporate Existence; Subsidiaries; Foreign Qualification) therefrom and to insert in place thereof, respectively, a new Schedule 1, Schedule 2 and Schedule 6.1 in the form of Schedule 1, Schedule 2 and Schedule 6.1 hereto.

17. Reallocation of Outstanding Amounts. On the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, the Lenders shall make adjustments among themselves with respect to the Loans then outstanding and amounts of principal with respect thereto as shall be necessary, in the opinion of Agent, in order to reallocate among such Lenders such outstanding amounts, based on the revised Commitments as set forth in the revised Schedule 1 hereto.

18. Closing Deliveries. Concurrently with the execution of this Amendment, Borrower shall:

(a) deliver to Agent, for delivery to each Lender requesting a Revolving Credit Note, such Lender’s Revolving Credit Note in the amount specified in Schedule 1 to the Credit Agreement (after giving effect to this Amendment);

(b) execute and deliver to Agent, for its sole benefit, the Fourth Amendment Agent Fee Letter, and pay to Agent the fees stated therein;

(c) execute and deliver to J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, for its sole benefit, that certain J.P. Morgan Fee Letter, dated as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, and pay to J.P. Morgan Securities LLC the fees stated therein;

(d) execute and deliver to Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders, the Fourth Amendment Closing Fee Letter, and pay to Agent the fees stated therein;

(e) deliver to Agent an officer’s certificate (or comparable domestic documents) certifying the names of the officers of each Credit Party authorized to sign this Agreement, together with the true signatures of such officers and (i) certified copies of the resolutions of the board of directors (or comparable domestic documents) of such Credit Party evidencing approval of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and

(ii) certified copies of the Organizational Documents of such Credit Party or confirmation that such Organizational Documents have not been amended since the Closing Date;

(f) cause each Guarantor of Payment to execute the attached Guarantor Acknowledgement and Agreement; and

(g) pay all legal fees and expenses of Agent in connection with this Amendment and any other Loan Documents.

19. Representations and Warranties. Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Agent and the Lenders that (a) Borrower has the legal power and authority to execute and deliver this Amendment; (b) the officers executing this Amendment have been duly authorized to execute and deliver the same and bind Borrower with respect to the provisions hereof; (c) the execution and delivery hereof by Borrower and the performance and observance by Borrower of the provisions hereof do not violate or conflict with the Organizational Documents of Borrower or any law applicable to Borrower or result in a breach of any provision of or constitute a default under any other agreement, instrument or document binding upon or enforceable against Borrower; (d) no Default or Event of Default exists, nor will any occur immediately after the execution and delivery of this Amendment or by the performance or observance of any provision hereof; (e) each of the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents is true and correct in all material respects as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date as if made on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, except to the extent that any such representation or warranty expressly states that it relates to an earlier date (in which case such representation or warranty is true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); (f) Borrower is not aware of any claim or offset against, or defense or counterclaim to, Borrower’s obligations or liabilities under the Credit Agreement or any Related Writing; and (g) this Amendment constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Borrower in every respect, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy or insolvency laws or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally or by general principles of equity.

20. Waiver and Release. Borrower, by signing below, hereby waives and releases Agent, and each of the Lenders, and their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, affiliates and subsidiaries, from any and all claims, offsets, defenses and counterclaims arising out of, or relating to, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents of which Borrower is aware, such waiver and release being with full knowledge and understanding of the circumstances and effect thereof and after having consulted legal counsel with respect thereto.

21. References to Credit Agreement and Ratification. Each reference that is made in the Credit Agreement or any other Related Writing to the Credit Agreement shall hereafter be construed as a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby. Except as herein otherwise specifically provided, all terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement are confirmed and ratified and shall remain in full force and effect and be unaffected hereby. This Amendment is a Loan Document.

22. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, by different parties hereto in separate counterparts and by facsimile signature, each of which,

when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

23. Headings. The headings, captions and arrangements used in this Amendment are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Amendment.

24. Severability. Any term or provision of this Amendment held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable shall not impair or invalidate the remainder of this Amendment and the effect thereof shall be confined to the term or provision so held to be invalid or unenforceable.

25. Governing Law. The rights and obligations of all parties hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.
