RECITALS

A. Borrower and Lender are each a party to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 1 2009 (as amended, restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which and subject to the terms and conditions therein contained, Lenders agreed to make loans to Borrower and to issue letters of credit for the account of Borrower.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT
