     (c)      Amendment as Credit Document. Each Credit Party confirms and agrees that this
Amendment shall constitute a Credit Document under the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, it shall be
an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement if any representation or warranty made or deemed
made by any Credit Party under or in connection with this Amendment shall have been incorrect in
any material respect when made or deemed made or if any Credit Party fails to perform or comply
with any covenant or agreement contained herein.




     7.      Release. Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that: (a) neither it nor any of
its Affiliates has any claim or cause of action against any Agent, the Borrowing Base Agent or any
Lender (or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys,
consultants or agents) and (b) each Agent, the Borrowing Base Agent, and each Lender has heretofore
properly performed and satisfied in a timely manner all of its obligations to the Credit Parties
and their Affiliates under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Agents, the Borrowing Base Agent and the Lenders wish (and the Credit Parties
agree) to eliminate any possibility that any past conditions, acts, omissions, events or
circumstances would impair or otherwise adversely affect any of the Agents’, the Borrowing Base
Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights, interests, security and/or remedies under the Credit Agreement and
the other Credit Documents. Accordingly, for and in consideration of the agreements contained in
this Amendment and other good and valuable consideration, each Credit Party (for itself and its
Affiliates and the successors, assigns, heirs and representatives of each of the foregoing)
(collectively, the “Releasors”) does hereby fully, finally, unconditionally and irrevocably
release and forever discharge each Agent, the Borrowing Base Agent, each Lender and each of their
respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents
(collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all debts, claims, obligations,
damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, suits, demands, liabilities, actions, proceedings and causes of
action, in each case, whether known or unknown, contingent or fixed, direct or indirect, and of
whatever nature or description, and whether in law or in equity, under contract, tort, statute or
otherwise (collectively, “Claims”), which any Releasor has heretofore had or now or
hereafter can, shall or may have against any Released Party by reason of any act, omission or thing
whatsoever done or omitted to be done (collectively, “Actions”) on or prior to the
Twenty-Fifth Amendment Effective Date arising out of, connected with or related in any way to this
Amendment, the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any act, event or transaction
related or attendant thereto done or omitted to be done on or prior to the Twenty-Fifth Amendment
Effective Date, or the agreements of any Agent, the Borrowing Base Agent or any Lender contained
therein, or the possession, use, operation or control of any of the assets of any Credit Party, or
the making of any Loans or other advances, or the management of such Loans or advances or the
Collateral on or prior to the Twenty-Fifth Amendment Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt,
nothing contained in this Amendment shall be deemed to release or discharge any Released Party from
any Claims arising out of, in connection with or related in any way to Actions occurring after the
date of this Amendment.

     8.      Miscellaneous.




     (a)      Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original,
but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile or electronic mail shall be equally effective as delivery of an original
executed counterpart of this Amendment.




     (b)      Headings. Section and paragraph headings herein are included for convenience of
reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Amendment for any other purpose.




     (c)      Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of New York.

and delivery of this Amendment and all documents incidental hereto, including, without limitation,

Borrowing Base Agent and Lenders in enforcing any Obligations of or in collecting any payments due
from any Credit Party hereunder or under the other Credit Documents by reason of any Default or
Event of Default (including in connection with the sale of, collection from, or other realization
upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of the Guaranty) or in connection with any
refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work
out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings (including, without
limitation, the costs and expenses of any advisers retained by Agents, the Borrowing Base Agent and
Lenders; provided, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing the
Borrower shall not be responsible for costs and expenses of CRS in excess of $25,000).
