to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments
(and any related Designated 2007 Incremental RL Commitment) and Loans shall remain owing to

effect to the execution, delivery and performance by the Corporation of this Amendment and the
transactions contemplated hereby, (i) there shall exist no Default or Event of Default and (ii)
all representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and in the other Credit
Documents are true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such

understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a
specified date shall be true and correct in all material respects only as of such specified date).

C. This Amendment is limited as specified and shall not constitute a modification, acceptance
or waiver of any other provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document.

D. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties
hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts when executed and delivered shall be an
original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A complete set

E. THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED

Date occurs, it shall pay to each Lender which executes and delivers to the Administrative Agent
(or its designee) a counterpart hereof by 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on April 27, 2007, a
non-refundable cash fee (the “Amendment Fee”) in Dollars in an amount equal to 2.5 basis
points on the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender (as in effect on the Third Amendment
Effective Date after giving effect to the termination of the Total Designated Incremental RL
Commitment on such date but without giving effect to any increase in the Revolving Loan Commitment
on such date). The Amendment Fee shall not be subject to counterclaim or set-off, or be otherwise
affected by, any claim or dispute relating to any other matter. The Amendment Fee shall constitute
a “Fee” for purposes of the Credit Agreement and be paid by the Corporation to the Administrative
Agent for distribution to the relevant Lenders not later than the second Business Day following the

other Credit Documents.
