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.

Increase Supplement, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to become or to continue to be a Lender under the Credit Agreement, (b) from and after the Increase Effective Date (hereinafter defined), it shall be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement as a Lender thereunder and, to the extent of its Commitment, shall have the obligations of a Lender thereunder, and (c) it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 thereof, as applicable, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Commitment Increase Supplement on the basis of which it has made such analysis and decision independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, L/C Issuer, or any other Lender; and agrees that (1) it will, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, L/C Issuer or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents, and (2) it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

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.
