Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not
reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C
Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand (which demand, in the case of any
demand made in respect of any draft under a Letter of Credit denominated in any Designated Foreign

against the Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the
occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the
other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or
otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance,
happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

     6. Amendment of Section 3.5 (Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower).

     (a) Section 3.5 is hereby amended by deleting Section 3.5 and inserting in lieu thereof the
following (amendments are indicated by language that is bold with an underline):

     Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. If any draft is paid under any Letter of

5

Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice. Each such
payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in
the currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated (except that, in the case of any Letter

any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at the
rate set forth in (x) until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice,
Section 2.12(b) and (y) thereafter, Section 2.12(c); provided that if any such amount is

Foreign Currency owing by account parties with similar credit profiles to that of the Borrower.

     7. Amendment of Section 10.14 (Release of Guarantees).

     (a) Section 10.14 is hereby amended by deleting Section 10.14(b) and inserting in lieu thereof

the Loan Documents (including obligations under or in respect of Specified Swap
Agreements) shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of
Credit shall be outstanding, the Guarantee and all obligations (other than those expressly stated
to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party under the Guarantee
shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.
