(m) Section 2.7(a) of the Credit Agreement, appearing on pages 27 and 28 thereof, is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is inserted in lieu thereof: "(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and provided that all of the conditions contained in Sections 10 and 11 have been satisfied, the Agent agrees to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower, from the date of this Agreement to, but not including, the Maturity Date at such times as the Borrower may request; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of Letters of Credit (including such requested Letter of Credit) at any one time Outstanding shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the lesser of (A) the Total Commitment or (B) the amount of the Borrowing Base, in each case, minus the aggregate amount of Outstanding Loans (including any Swing Line Loans and amounts drawn under any Letters of Credit and not yet reimbursed by the Borrower), or (ii) $10,000,000.00. The issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.7(a) shall be deemed to reduce the aggregate of the unborrowed Commitments of the Banks then in effect by an amount equal to the undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit as set forth herein. In no event shall any amount drawn under a Letter of Credit be available for reinstatement or a subsequent drawing under a Letter of Credit.

Each Bank agrees with the Agent that it will participate in each Letter of Credit issued by the Agent to the extent required by the preceding sentence. No Bank's obligation to participate in a Letter of Credit shall be affected by any other Bank's failure to participate in the same or any other Letter of Credit."

The execution and delivery of the Increase Notice by Borrower shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all the conditions set forth in this Section 2.9 shall have been satisfied on the date of such Increase Notice." (o) The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following as a new Section 2.10 thereof: "SECTION 2.10 SWING LINE LOANS. (a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Banks set forth in this Section 2.10, to make loans (each such loan, a "Swing Line Loan") to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day prior to the Maturity Date (or, if earlier, the date of termination of Commitments pursuant to Section 12.4 hereof) in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Commitment Percentage of the Outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit Outstanding of the Bank acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Bank's Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Outstanding Loans, Letters of Credit Outstanding and Swing Line Loans Outstanding shall not exceed the Total Commitment, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Loans of any Bank (other than the Swing Line Lender), plus such Bank's Commitment Percentage of the Letters of Credit Outstanding, plus such Bank's Commitment Percentage of the amount of all Swing Line Loans Outstanding shall not exceed such Bank's Commitment; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any Outstanding Swing Line Loan; and provided, further, that in all events no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.10, prepay under Section 3 hereof, and reborrow under this Section 2.10. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Bank shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase 6 from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Bank's Commitment Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan. (b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower's irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $500,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Agent (including at the request of any Bank) prior to 2:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.10(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 11 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds. (c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Bank make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Bank's Commitment Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then Outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Loan Request for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.5, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Total Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 11. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan Request promptly after delivering such notice to the Agent. Each Bank shall make an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the amount specified in such Loan Request available to the Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Agent's Head Office not later than 1:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the day specified in such Loan Request, whereupon, subject to Section 2.10(c)(ii), each Bank that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate 7 Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender. (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.10(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Banks fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Bank's payment to the Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation. (iii) If any Bank fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10(c) by the time specified in Section 2.10(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Bank (acting through the Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Bank (through the Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (iv) Each Bank's obligation to make Committed Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Bank may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Bank's obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 11. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein. (v) The Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date five (5) Business Days after such Swing Line Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity Date. (d) Repayment of Participations. (i) At any time after any Bank has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Bank its Commitment Percentage of such payment 8 (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Bank's risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender. (ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Bank shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Banks under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. (e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Bank funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.10 to refinance such Bank's Commitment Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Commitment Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender. (f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender. (g) Swing Line Note. At the Swing Line Lender's option, the Swing Line Loans shall be evidenced by a separate promissory note of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit G hereto (the "Swing Line Note"), dated the date of this Agreement and completed with appropriate insertions. The Swing Line Note shall be payable to the order of the Swing Line Lender in the principal face amount equal to the Swing Line Loan and shall be subject to mandatory prepayment in the amounts and under the circumstances set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, and may be prepaid in whole or from time to time in part, all as set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Swing Line Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal thereof, an appropriate notation on the Swing Line Lender's Record reflecting the making of such Swing Line Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The amount of the Swing Line Loans Outstanding set forth on the Swing Line Lender's Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Swing Line Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on the Swing Line Lender's Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Swing Line Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Swing Line Note when due. (h) Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be deemed a "Bank" for all purposes under this Agreement. 9 (i) Increase of Commitment. In the event that the Total Commitment is increased pursuant to Section 2.9, then the Swing Line Sublimit shall increase by an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the increase in the Total Commitment (rounded to the next lowest $100,000), subject to the terms hereof; provided that in no event shall the Swing Line Sublimit exceed $20,000,000.00. As a condition to such increase, Borrower shall deliver to the Swing Line Lender a replacement Swing Line Note, and execute and deliver such other amendments to the Loan Documents as may be reasonably required by Swing Line Lender or Agent and pay the costs of any mortgagee's title insurance policy or endorsement or update thereof, all recording costs and fees, and any and all intangibles taxes or other documentary and mortgage taxes, assessments or charges or any similar fees, taxes or expenses which are demanded by any governmental agency in connection with such increase (it being acknowledged that the requirements of this sentence may be satisfied in connection with and as a part of the satisfaction of the requirements of Section 2.9(b)(iv) with respect to the corresponding increase of the Total Commitment)."

If at any time the aggregate of the Outstanding Loans (including any Swing Line Loans) and Letters of Credit Outstanding exceeds (a) the Total Commitment, or (b) the Borrowing Base, then the Borrower shall pay the amount of such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Banks for application to the Loans within the time period provided for in Section 12.3, subject to the Borrower's right to provide additional Collateral pursuant to Section 12.2, except that the amount of any Swing Line Loan shall be paid solely to the Swing Line Lender." (q) Section 3.4 of the Credit Agreement, appearing on page 33 thereof, is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is inserted in lieu thereof: "SECTION 3.4 PARTIAL PREPAYMENTS. Each partial prepayment of the Loans under Section 3.2 and Section 3.3 shall be an integral multiple of $100,000, shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment and, after payment of such interest, shall be applied, in the absence of instruction by the Borrower, first to the principal of any Outstanding Swing Line Loan, then to the principal of the other Base Rate Loans and then to the principal of LIBOR Rate Loans."

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) none of the following may occur without the written consent of each Bank: a decrease in the rate of interest on the Notes; a change in the Maturity Date of the Notes, except as provided in Section 4.16 hereof; an increase in the amount of the Commitments of the Banks except pursuant to Section 18.1 or Section 2.9; a forgiveness, reduction or waiver of the principal of any unpaid Loan or any interest thereon; the postponement of any date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on the Loans; a decrease of the amount of any fee (other than late fees) payable to a Bank hereunder; the release of the Borrower, the Guarantor or any Collateral except as otherwise provided herein; a change in the manner of distribution of any payments to the Banks or the Agent; an amendment of the definition of Majority Banks or Required Banks or of any requirement for consent by the Required Banks or all of the Banks; a modification, amendment or waiver of the provisions of Section 9.1 or any of the definitions used therein or any of the definitions used in the definition of "Borrowing Base"; or an amendment of this Section 27 and (b) the provisions of Sections 5.3(b)(vi) and the proviso following Section 5.3(b)(vi), 8.3(k), 9.2 and 9.3 or any of the definitions used therein may not be modified, amended or waived without the written consent of the Required Banks.

Neither Agent nor any other Bank makes to PNC any representation or warranty, express or implied, and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with the Loan Documents or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness or sufficiency of any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or in connection with the Loan, the collectability of the Loans, the continued solvency of the Borrower or the Guarantors or the continued existence, sufficiency or value of the Collateral or any assets of the Borrower or the Guarantors which may be realized upon for the repayment of the Loans, or the performance or observance by the Borrower or the Guarantors of any of their respective obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party or any other instrument or document delivered or executed pursuant thereto or in connection with the Loan. 9.
