Ladies and Gentlemen:




     Reference is hereby made to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of June 29, 2007 (as the

(“Borrower”), LaSalle Bank National Association, a national banking association, as agent (acting
in such capacity, the “Agent”) for the Banks from time to time party thereto and such Banks.
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the
Credit Agreement.



     Each of Borrower, the other Loan Parties, Agent and the Banks party hereto hereby agree that,
effective as of the date first written above, the phrase “once each Fiscal Quarter” appearing in
clause (i) of Section 10.10 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the
phrase “once each calendar month” is hereby substituted therefor.



     This letter amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” under the Credit Agreement and,
except as specifically amended hereby, the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document shall
remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed, as so amended.
