     Pursuant to Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, Borrower has the right to cause from time to time an increase in the Aggregate Commitments by adding to the Credit Agreement, subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, and the Swing Line Lender one or more additional Lenders (referred to in Section 2.14(c) of the Credit Agreement as “additional Eligible Assignees”) and referred to herein as the “New Lenders”), or by allowing one or more Lenders to increase their respective Commitment (such Lenders being referred to herein as the “Increasing Lenders”), subject to the limitations contained in such Section 2.14.
AGREEMENT
     1. The Borrower and the parties signatory hereto as the Increasing Lenders and as the New Lenders hereby agree that, from and after the date hereof, the Increasing Lenders and the New Lenders shall have the respective Commitments as set forth on the attached Supplement to Schedule 2.01. By its execution and delivery of this Commitment Increase Supplement, each New Lender hereby assumes all of the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Credit Agreement. Such Commitments of the New Lenders and the increase in the Commitments of the Increasing Lenders shall represent an increase in the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement.
     2. Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, L/C Issuer, and Borrower hereby consent to and approve the Commitment of each New Lender and the increase in the Commitment of each Increasing Lender, and such resulting increase in the Aggregate Commitments pursuant to Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement.

From and after the Increase Effective Date, each New Lender shall be a “Lender” under the Loan Documents.
     5. Upon any increase in the Aggregate Commitments pursuant Section 2.14, the Lenders have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to make non-ratable borrowings and prepayments of the Committed Loans, and if any such prepayment requires the payment of Eurodollar Rate Loans other than on the last day of the applicable Interest Period, Borrower shall pay any required amounts pursuant to Section 3.05, in order to keep the outstanding Committed Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Commitment Increase Supplement. On the Increase Effective Date, each New Lender and each Increasing Lender shall make a Committed Loan for the account of the Borrower to implement such provisions of Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement.
     6. Borrower (a) represents and warrants that, on and as of the Increase Effective Date, before and after giving effect to the increase in Aggregate Commitments resulting hereunder, (i) the representations and warranties contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Commitment Increase Supplement, the representations and warranties contained in subsection (a) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) of Section 6.01, and (ii) no Default exists, (b) ratifies and confirms each of the Loan Documents, (c) agrees that all Loan Documents shall apply to the Obligations as they are or may be increased by this Commitment Increase Supplement, (d) agrees that its obligations and covenants under each Loan Document are otherwise unimpaired

     7. This Commitment Increase Supplement may not be amended, changed, waived or modified, except by a writing executed by the parties hereto.
     8. This Commitment Increase Supplement embodies the entire agreement among each New Lender, each Increasing Lender, the Borrower, L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior arrangements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.
     9. This Commitment Increase Supplement may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be deemed to be an original. Each such counterpart shall become effective when counterparts have been executed by all parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Commitment Increase Supplement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Commitment Increase Supplement.
     10. This Commitment Increase Supplement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each New Lender and each Increasing Lender and the Borrower and its respective successors and permitted assigns, except that neither party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party.
     11. This Commitment Increase Supplement is a Loan Document, as defined in the Loan Agreement, and is subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement governing Loan Documents.
     12. This Commitment Increase Supplement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
     If requested by any New Lender or any Increasing Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such New Lender or such Increasing Lender, as of the Increase Effective Date, a Note in the form attached to the Credit Agreement to evidence the Commitment of such New Lender or such Increasing Lender. If any Increasing Lender which requests a new Note is in possession of an existing Note in the amount of its Commitment before giving effect to the increase pursuant to this Commitment Increase Supplement (each an “Existing Note”), such Increasing Lender shall, promptly after receipt of its new Note, mark such Existing Note “cancelled” and return such Existing Note to the Borrower.
