replaced with the restated schedule attached hereto as Annex I.

     2.     Assignment and Assumption. Subject to the satisfaction of each of the

Agreement and other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Interests”), and each of
the Purchasing Lenders hereby agrees to reallocate among such Purchasing
Lenders their respective Commitments and interests in the outstanding Loans,
and Letter of Credit Obligations, in each case such that after giving effect to
such sales, assignments, purchases, assumptions and reallocations, each Lender

paragraph shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty (except
as expressly provided in this Section 3) by, any of the Lenders.

     (b)  The Selling Lender hereby (i) represents and warrants that it is the
legal and beneficial owner of the Interests being sold and assigned by it

accordingly.

     (g)  The Company hereby agrees to compensate each Lender, in immediate
available funds in the Effective Date, for all losses, expenses and liabilities

Document to which it is a party, (b) agrees and acknowledges that such
ratification and reaffirmation is not a condition to the continued
effectiveness of such Loan Documents and (c) agrees that neither such
ratification and reaffirmation, nor the Administrative Agent’s, or any Lender’s
solicitation of such ratification and reaffirmation, constitutes a course of
dealing giving rise to any obligation or condition requiring a similar or any
other ratification or reaffirmation from the Borrower or such other Loan
Parties with respect to any subsequent modifications to the Credit Agreement or
the other Loan Documents. As modified hereby, the Credit Agreement is in all

this Amendment shall be read, taken and so construed as one and the same
instrument. Each of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect

or remedy of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or of any Default or
Event of Default (whether or not known to the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders), under any of the Loan Documents. This Agreement and each of the
other Amendment Documents shall constitute Loan Documents for purposes of the
Credit Agreement.

accordance with the laws and decisions of the State of Illinois (including
S.H.A. 735 ILCS 105/5-1, et. seq., but without giving effect to any other

connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement
and the other documents, agreements and instruments contemplated hereby.

     8.     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of
which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and
the same agreement among the parties.
