(a)    Except as expressly amended hereby, all of the representations,
warranties, terms, covenants and conditions of the Existing Agreement and the

with their respective terms and are hereby in all respects ratified and
confirmed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Cash Collateral
Agreement and all of the Collateral (as defined in the Cash Collateral
Agreement), if any, do and shall continue to secure the payment of all
Obligations (as defined in the Cash Collateral Agreement). The amendment set
forth herein shall be limited precisely as provided for herein and shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of, amendment of, consent to departure from or
modification of any term or provision of the Existing Agreement, any other
Financing Document or any other document or instrument referred to therein or of
any transaction or further or future action on the part of the Applicant
requiring the consent of the Bank, except to the extent specifically provided
for herein. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Bank has not and shall not

Letter of Credit Agreement and the other Financing Documents, and the Applicant
expressly acknowledges such reservation of rights. Any future or additional
amendment or waiver of any provision of the Letter of Credit Agreement or any
other Financing Document shall be effective only if set forth in a writing
separate and distinct from this Agreement and executed by the appropriate
parties in accordance with the terms thereof.
(b)    Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement: (i) each reference in the
Existing Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like
import referring to the Existing Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the
Amended Agreement; and (ii) each reference in any other Financing Document to
“the Letter of Credit Agreement”, “the Reimbursement Agreement”, “thereunder”,
“thereof” or words of like import referring to the Existing Agreement shall mean
and be a reference to the Amended Agreement. This Agreement shall constitute a
“Financing Document” for all purposes under the Letter of Credit Agreement and
the other Financing Documents.
(c)    The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement shall not,
except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or
remedy of the Bank under the Existing Agreement or any other Financing Document,
nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Existing Agreement or any other
Financing Document.
Section 5.    Liens Unimpaired. After giving effect to this Agreement, none of
(a) the modification of the Existing Agreement effected pursuant to Section 1 of
this Agreement or (b) the execution, delivery, performance or effectiveness of
this Agreement:
(i)impairs the validity, effectiveness or priority of the liens granted pursuant
to the Cash Collateral Agreement, and such liens continue unimpaired with the
same priority to secure repayment of all Obligations (as defined in the Cash
Collateral Agreement), whether heretofore or hereafter incurred; or
(ii)requires that any new filings be made or other action taken to perfect or to
maintain the perfection of such liens.
Section 6.    Confirmation. The Applicant hereby acknowledges and agrees that,
as of the Amendment Effective Date, the Applicant has no defense, offset,
counterclaim, cross claim, or demand of any kind or nature whatsoever that can
be asserted to reduce or eliminate all or any part of the Applicant’s liability
to pay the Liabilities and other Obligations or to seek affirmative relief or
damages of any kind from the Bank.
