understood and agreed that on the First Amendment Closing Date, the Incremental

participate proportionately in each then outstanding Term Borrowing. Interest
will begin accruing on the Incremental Term Loans on the First Amendment Closing
Date.

purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Incremental
