Agreement requires Borrower to deliver to Agent with respect to the Applicable Quarter.

of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages, an amendment fee in the

preparation of this Amendment and the other Loan Documents and shall have paid all other amounts

or any other Loan Documents, or which are contained in any documents furnished at any time under or
in connection herewith or therewith, shall be true and correct on and as of the date of this

earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that the
representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 of the
Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to
clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement, and (ii) no
Default and no Event of Default exists or will occur as a result of the execution of this
Amendment; and



          (e) Other Documents. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received such other

request.



     6. Agent Authorizations. The Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender hereby
authorize and instruct the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver this Amendment.



     7. No Further Amendment. Except as expressly modified by this Amendment, the Credit Agreement
and the other Loan Documents shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect and the parties
hereby ratify their respective obligations thereunder. References in the Credit Agreement to “this
Agreement” (and indirect references such as “hereunder”, “hereby”, “herein”, and “hereof”) and in
any Loan Document to the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the Credit Agreement
as modified hereby.



     8. Reservation of Rights. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the execution and
delivery by the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender of this
Amendment shall not be deemed to create a course of dealing or otherwise obligate the Lenders, the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender to forbear or execute similar
amendments under the same or similar circumstances in the future.



     9. Miscellaneous.



          (a) Integration. This Amendment, together with the other Loan Documents, comprise the
complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and
supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter.




          (b) Severability. Any provision of this Amendment that is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions thereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
any other jurisdiction.




          (c) Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.




          (d) Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Washington.
