Schedule 2.1 to the 364 Day Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety in the form of Annex 1 attached hereto.


	
       

			
		
12.

		
Simultaneously with the effectiveness of this Amendment:


	
       

	
     

	
    

	
   

	
     

	

                                                                                                                              


					
( a )

	
each party listed on Annex 2 attached hereto (each a “Departing Lender”) shall exit the 364 Day Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall no longer have a Commitment or otherwise be a Lender (except with respect to those
obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors under each Loan Document that, by their express terms, are intended to survive the termination of such Loan Document); and


	
       

				
					
( b )

	
each party listed on Annex 1 attached hereto (each a “New/Continuing Lender”) shall continue to be a Lender (or, if such party is not already a Lender, shall become a party to the 364 Day Credit Agreement and have the rights and obligations of a
Lender under the Loan Documents) with a Commitment as set forth adjacent to its name on Annex 1 attached hereto.


	






				
		
13.

		
This Amendment shall not be effective until such time as the Administrative Agent (or its counsel) shall have received:


	
       

			
					
( a )

	
from each of the Borrower, the Guarantor and each New/Continuing Lender either (i) a counterpart of this Amendment signed on behalf of such Person or (ii) written evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which may include facsimile transmission
of a signed signature page of this Amendment) that such Person has signed a counterpart of this Amendment;


	
       

					
					
( b )

	
from each of the Borrower, the Guarantor and each Departing Lender either (i) a counterpart of the Departing Lender Letter, substantially in the form of Annex 3 attached hereto, signed on behalf of such Person or (ii) written evidence satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent (which may include facsimile transmission of a signed signature page of this Amendment) that such Person has signed a counterpart of such Departing Lender Letter;


	
       

					
					
( c )

	
a certificate, dated the date hereof, of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of each of the Borrower and the Guarantor, (i) attaching a true and complete copy of the resolutions (or excerpts thereof) of its Board of Directors and of all documents evidencing
other corporate action (in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) taken by it to authorize the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) attaching a true and complete copy of its certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational
documents, and (iii) attesting as to the incumbency of each of its officers executing this Amendment, including therein a signature specimen of each such officer; and


	
       

					
					
( d )

	
all accrued and unpaid facility fees under Section 2.9(a) of the 364 Day Credit Agreement owing to each Lender (including each Departing Lender) to, but excluding, the date hereof and all other fees and other amounts due and payable upon or prior to the
effectiveness of this Amendment.


	
       

			
		
14.

		
Each of the Borrower and the Guarantor hereby (a) reaffirms and admits the validity and enforceability of each Loan Document, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified hereby, to which it is a party and its obligations thereunder, and agrees and admits that
it has no defense to or offset against any such obligation, and (b) represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, (i) it is in compliance in all material respects with all of the terms, covenants and conditions of each Loan Document, as amended, supplemented
or otherwise modified hereby, to which it is a party, (ii) there exists no Default or Event of Default and (iii) the representations and warranties made by it in the Loan Documents, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified hereby, are true and correct in all
material respects with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on the date hereof (unless stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects
as of such earlier date).


	






		
15.

		
This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.


	
       

			
		
16.

		
The 364 Day Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall in all other respects remain in full force and effect, and no amendment, consent, waiver or other modification herein in respect of any term or condition of any Loan Document shall be deemed to be an
amendment, consent, waiver or other modification in respect of any other term or condition of any Loan Document.


	
       

			
		
17.

		
THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
