     7. Amendment of Section 10.14 (Release of Guarantees).

     (a) Section 10.14 is hereby amended by deleting Section 10.14(b) and inserting in lieu thereof the following (amendments are indicated by language that is bold with an underline):

     (b) At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other obligations under the Loan Documents (including obligations under or in respect of Specified Swap Agreements) shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, the Guarantee and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party under the Guarantee shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

     8. Amendment of Section 3.16 (Releases) of Guarantee. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and instructed to enter into an amendment to the Guarantee substantially in the form of Exhibit A to this Amendment (the “Guarantee Amendment”).
