shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations,
covenants or agreements contained in the Loan Documents, all of which are ratified and affirmed in
all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall be deemed to
entitle the Borrowers to consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any
of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Loan Documents in
similar or different circumstances. All references to the Issuing Bank in the Loan Documents shall
continue to refer to JPMorgan. This Amendment is a Loan Document executed pursuant to the Credit

provisions thereof. This Amendment shall constitute an amendment only and shall not constitute a
novation with regard to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.

          Section 3.2 No Representations by Lenders or Administrative Agent. The Borrowers
hereby acknowledge that they have not relied on any representation, written or oral, express or

defined in the Fourth Amendment and Limited Waiver) no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, (c) the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment and the
performance of the Agreement as modified by this Amendment will not violate any provision of law,

instrument to which any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or by which it or any of
its properties or assets are bound, (d) the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment
and the performance of the Agreement as modified by this Amendment will not be in conflict with,
result in a breach of or constitute (with or without notice or passage of time) a default under

any of the documents required herein will constitute upon execution and delivery, legal, valid,
and binding obligations of each Borrower and each of their Subsidiaries party hereto or thereto,
each enforceable in accordance with its terms.

          Section 3.4 Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon the parties

convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of this Amendment. This
Amendment contains the entire understanding of the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter
contained herein and supersedes all previous communications and negotiations with regard to the
subject matter hereof. No representation, undertaking, promise, or condition concerning the subject
matter hereof shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party unless
clearly expressed in this Agreement or in the other documents referred to herein. No agreement
which is reached herein shall give rise to any claim or cause of action except for breach of the
express provisions of a legally binding written agreement.

          Section 3.6 Severability. The provisions of this Amendment are intended to be
severable. If for any reason any provision of this Amendment shall be held invalid or
unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any
manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining
provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

Credit Agreement, the Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to reimburse the Administrative
