NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation set forth in Section 1.03 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis.

SECTION 2. Amendment to Credit Agreement. Section 4.02(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the text “(with respect to any Revolving Borrowing, excluding Sections 3.04(d) and 3.06(a)(i) of this Agreement)” immediately after the text “set forth in the Loan Documents” in such Section.

SECTION 3. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and to each of the Lenders and Issuing Banks that:

(a) This Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower and each of this Amendment and the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(b) The representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects) on and as of the Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), except in the case of any such

representation and warranty that expressly relates to a prior date, in which case such representation and warranty is true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects, as applicable) as of such earlier date.

(c) At the time of and immediately after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

SECTION 4. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date first above written (the “Amendment Effective Date”) when:

Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle the Borrower to any future consent to, or waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances. After the Amendment Effective Date, any reference in the Loan Documents to the Credit Agreement shall mean the Credit Agreement as modified hereby.
