the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the

otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent; and (ii) if the
LIBOR Daily Floating Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed
zero for purposes of this Agreement.

however, that after giving effect to any Revolving Borrowing, (i) the Total
Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Facility, and (ii) the
Revolving Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s
Revolving Commitment. Within the limits of each Revolving Lender’s Revolving
Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the

 

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Borrower may borrow Revolving Loans, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow
under this Section 2.01(b). Revolving Loans may be Base Rate Loans, LIBOR Daily
Floating Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein;
provided, however, any Revolving Borrowings made on the Closing Date or any of
the three (3) Business Days following the Closing Date shall be made as Base
Rate Loans unless the Borrower delivers a Funding Indemnity Letter not less than
three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such Revolving Borrowing.

(d) Amendment to Section 2.02(a). Section 2.02(a) of the Credit Agreement is
hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(a) Notice of Borrowing. Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type
to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon
the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be
given by: (A) telephone or (B) a Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic
notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of
a Loan Notice. Each such Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than 8:00 a.m. (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the
requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar
Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and
(ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Daily
Floating Rate Loans. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c)
and 2.04(b), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Daily
Floating Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole
multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice and each telephonic
notice shall specify (A) the Revolving Facility and whether the Borrower is
requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a
continuation of Loans, as the case may be, under the Revolving Facility, (B) the
requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be
(which shall be a Business Day), (C) the principal amount of Loans to be
borrowed, converted or continued, (D) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to
which existing Loans are to be converted, and (E) if applicable, the duration of
the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a
Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice
requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made
as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate
Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in
effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower
requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans
in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be
deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, a Swingline Loan may not be converted to a
Eurodollar Rate Loan.

(e) Amendment to Section 2.03(h). Section 2.03(h) of the Credit Agreement is
hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance, subject to

 

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 2.15, with its Applicable Revolving Percentage a Letter of Credit fee
(the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable
Rate of such Revolving Lender for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans
times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Letter
of Credit Fees shall be (1) due and payable on the last Business Day of each
fiscal quarter ending on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each
fiscal year, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of
such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on
demand and (2) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change
in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be
drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the
Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such
Applicable Rate was in effect.

(f) Amendment to Section 2.05(a)(i). Section 2.05(a)(i) of the Credit Agreement
is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(i) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Loan Prepayment, at any time
or from time to time voluntarily prepay Revolving Loans in whole or in part
without premium or penalty subject to Section 3.05; provided, however, that,
unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, (A) such notice must be
received by the Administrative Agent not later than 8:00 a.m. (1) three
(3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and
(2) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Daily Floating Rate
Loans; (B) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal
amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and
(C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans shall
be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess
thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then
outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such
prepayment and the Type of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are
to be prepaid, the Interest Period of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will
promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the
amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on (I) with
respect to the principal portion of such prepayment, such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage in respect of the Revolving Facility, and (II) with respect to
accrued interest on the principal portion of such prepayment, pro rata in
accordance with the amount that the accrued interest due to each Lender in
connection with the principal portion of such prepayment bears to the amount of
accrued interest due to all Lenders in connection with the principal portion of
such prepayment). If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall
make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be
due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of principal shall
be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any
additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.15,
such prepayments shall be paid to the Lenders (X) with respect to the principal
portion of such prepayment, in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable
Percentage in respect of the Revolving Facility, and (II) with respect to
accrued interest on the principal portion of such prepayment, pro rata in
accordance with the amount that the accrued interest due to each Lender in
connection with the principal portion

 

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of such prepayment bears to the amount of accrued interest due to all Lenders in
connection with the principal portion of such prepayment.

(g) Amendment to Section 2.05(b). Section 2.05(b) of the Credit Agreement is
hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(b) Mandatory. If for any reason the Total Revolving Outstandings at any time
exceed the Revolving Facility at such time, the Borrower shall immediately
prepay Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and L/C Borrowings (together with all
accrued but unpaid interest thereon) and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that
the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations
pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) unless, after the prepayment of the Revolving
Loans and Swingline Loans, the Total Revolving Outstandings exceed the Revolving
Facility at such time. Within the parameters of the applications set forth
above, prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied first to
Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar Rate
Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities. All prepayments under this
Section 2.05(b) shall be subject to Section 3.05, but otherwise without premium
or penalty, and shall be accompanied by interest on the principal amount prepaid
through the date of prepayment.

(h) Amendment to Section 2.08(a). Section 2.08(a) of the Credit Agreement is
hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(a) Interest. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b): (i) each Eurodollar
Rate Loan and LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loan under the Revolving Facility shall
bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest
Period from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the
Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate, as
applicable, plus the Applicable Rate for the Revolving Facility; (ii) each Base
Rate Loan under the Revolving Facility shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for the Revolving Facility; and
(iii) each Swingline Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to
the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for the Revolving Facility. To the extent
that any calculation of interest or any fee required to be paid under this
Agreement shall be based on (or result in) a calculation that is less than zero,
such calculation shall be deemed zero for purposes of this Agreement.

(i) Amendment to Section 2.09(a). Section 2.09(a) of the Credit Agreement is
hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable Revolving
Percentage, a commitment fee in Dollars equal to the Applicable Rate times the
actual daily amount by which the Revolving Facility exceeds the sum of (i) the
Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C
Obligations, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.15. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Outstanding Amount of Swingline Loans shall

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

not be counted towards or considered usage of the Revolving Facility for
purposes of determining the commitment fee. The commitment fee shall accrue at
all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one
or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable
quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter ending on
January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each fiscal year, commencing
with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of
the Availability Period for the Revolving Facility. The commitment fee shall be
calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable
Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and
multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter
that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(j) Amendment to Section 2.12(b)(i). Section 2.12(b)(i) of the Credit Agreement
is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans, prior to 9:00
a.m. on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to
the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available
on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of
Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans, that such Lender has made
such share available in accordance with and at the time required by
Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the
Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made
its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent,
then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in
immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but
excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of
a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a
rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar
fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the
foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the
interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender
shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an
overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the
Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If
such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative
Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in
such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any
claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such
payment to the Administrative Agent.

(k) Amendment to Section 3.02. Section 3.02 of the Credit Agreement is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.02 Illegality.

If any Lender determines that any Laws have made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its
Lending Office to perform any of its obligations hereunder or to make, maintain
or fund or charge interest with respect to any Credit Extension or to determine
or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental
Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to
purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank
market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the
Administrative Agent, (a) any obligation of such Lender to issue, make,
maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Credit Extension or
continue Eurodollar Rate Loans to convert Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Daily
Floating Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (b) if such
notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate
Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar
Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of
such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the
Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the
Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer
exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, upon demand from
such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable,
convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the
interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to
avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without
reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last
day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to
maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender
may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) if
such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging
interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall
during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such
Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the
Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer
illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the
Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also
pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

(l) Amendment to Section 3.04(a)(iii). Section 3.04(a)(iii) of the Credit
Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(iii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any
other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement, LIBOR Daily Floating
Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit
or participation therein;

(m) Amendment to Section 3.04(e). Section 3.04(e) of the Credit Agreement is
hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(e) Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans and LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans. The
Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required
to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or
including eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency
liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each
Eurodollar Rate Loan and each LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loan equal to the actual
costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by
such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), and (ii) as
long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio
requirement or analogous requirement of any central banking or financial
regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or
the funding of the Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per
annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places)
equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender
(as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be
conclusive), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which
interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at
least ten (10) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of
such additional interest or costs from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give
notice ten (10) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such
additional interest shall be due and payable ten (10) days from receipt of such
notice.

(n) Exhibit E. Exhibit E (Form of Loan Notice) of the Credit Agreement is
replaced by Exhibit E attached hereto as Annex A.

(o) Exhibit O. Exhibit O (Form of Notice of Loan Prepayment) of the Credit
Agreement is replaced by Exhibit O attached hereto as Annex B.

3. Conditions Precedent. This Amendment and the obligations of Administrative
