modification or amendment) of any Letter of Credit.

     The New Lender and the Administrative Agent agree as follows:

     1. The New Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, to
make Loans to the Borrower and to participate in the issuance of Letters of Credit (and the LC
Outstandings thereunder) during the period from the date hereof until the Revolving Credit
Termination Date (subject to Section 2.01(b) of the Credit Agreement), in an aggregate outstanding
amount not to exceed on any day the New Lender’s Commitment set forth opposite its signature below.

     2. On the date hereof (the “Effective Date”), the New Lender shall pay to the Administrative
Agent, in same day funds, at such address and account as the Administrative Agent shall advise the

purchases and assignments, the New Lender will share such Loans ratably with each of them (based
upon the New Lender’s Percentage). From and after the Effective Date, the New Lender shall be a
party to the Credit Agreement, entitled to all rights, powers and privileges, and subject to all
obligations, of a Lender thereunder, including without limitation (i) the right to receive all
payments made by the Borrower in respect of the Loans made by the New Lender, whether on account of
principal, interest, fees, indemnities in respect of claims arising after the date hereof,

Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement according to its Percentage, (iii) the right to

such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis
and decision to enter into this Agreement and to become a Lender under the Credit Agreement, (ii)

on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its
own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents, (iii) confirms that
it satisfies the requirements of an Eligible Assignee, (iv) appoints and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under
the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with

separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of
which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
