2007.
(b) Governmental Authorizations. Section 7.01(g) of the Existing Agreement is hereby amended

Document to which it is a party, except for (i) the ACC Order, which ACC Order has been
obtained and is in full force and effect, and (ii) the 2007 ACC Order, which 2007 ACC
Order has been obtained and is in full force and effect. After giving effect to each
Extension of Credit to or for the account of any Borrower and the application of the
proceeds thereof, such Borrower is in compliance with all applicable requirements
contained in the 2007 ACC Order (including, without limitation, the requirement that such
Borrower’s equity shall not be less than 30% of its total capital after giving effect to

ACC Order).”
SECTION 2. Conditions of Effectiveness of Amendments. The amendments to the Existing
Agreement set forth in Section 1 hereof shall become effective as of the date hereof when, and only
when, the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment executed by the
Borrowers, the Guarantor and the Required Lenders (in sufficient quantity for each party to have a
fully executed original).
SECTION 3. Representations and Warranties of the Borrowers. Each Borrower represents and
warrants as follows:
(a) The execution and delivery by such Borrower of this Amendment, and the performance by such
Borrower of this Amendment and the Amended Agreement, are within such Borrower’s organizational
powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and, if required, stockholder
action, and do not and will not (i) violate any Requirement of Law, (ii) violate or result in a
default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon such Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by
such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien
on any asset of such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. This Amendment has been duly executed
and delivered by such Borrower.
(b) The execution and delivery by such Borrower of this Amendment, and the performance by such
Borrower of this Amendment and the Amended Agreement, do not require any consent or approval of,
registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except as set
forth in Section 7.01(g) of the Amended Agreement.
2
(c) Each of this Amendment and the Amended Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject
to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law.
(d) No Default or Event of Default with respect to such Borrower or the Guarantor has occurred
and is continuing.

Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Existing Agreement
shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement.
(b) Except as specifically amended above, the Existing Agreement shall continue to be in full
force and effect and is hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed.
(c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly
provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Lenders, the Issuing
Banks or the Administrative Agent under the Existing Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor
constitute a waiver of any provision of the Existing Agreement or any other Loan Document.
SECTION 5. Costs and Expenses. The Borrowers agree to pay on demand all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation,
syndication, execution and delivery of this Amendment and the other instruments and documents to be
delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements
of counsel to the Administrative Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising the
Administrative Agent as to its rights and responsibilities hereunder and thereunder, and all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender
(including, without limitation, the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender) in connection with the enforcement (whether
through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Amendment.

SECTION 6. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute but one and the same instrument. In furtherance of the foregoing, it is understood and
agreed that signatures hereto submitted by facsimile transmission shall be deemed to be, and shall
constitute, original signatures.
