W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, Borrower has requested Incremental Extensions of Credit from the Additional Lenders in an aggregate principal amount of $60,000,000 to be used in accordance with Section 3.12 of the Credit Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Additional Lenders have agreed to provide the Incremental Extensions of Credit to Borrower on the terms set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Incremental Extensions of Credit.
(a) Each Additional Lender hereby agrees to provide Incremental Extensions of Credit as set forth in Schedule 1 hereto and (i) severally agrees that it shall be considered a Lender for all purposes under the Loan Documents and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof; (ii) agrees that all Incremental Extensions of Credit shall constitute Revolving Commitments for all purposes of the Loan Documents; (iii) severally agrees to make its Revolving Commitments (including such Incremental Extensions of Credit) available in accordance with the Loan Documents and this Incremental Amendment; (iv) appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; (v) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement and this Incremental Amendment are required to be performed by it as a Lender and as an Additional Lender; and (vi) agrees to be bound by each of the Loan Documents as a Lender for all purposes thereunder. The terms and provisions of the Incremental Extensions of Credit shall, except as set forth below, be identical to the Revolving Commitments made on the Closing Date. The aggregate amount of the Incremental Extensions of Credit made under this Incremental Amendment shall not exceed $60,000,000.
(b) Each Additional Lender hereby agrees on the Incremental Facility Closing Date (as defined below) to make a Revolving Loan, the proceeds of which will be used to prepay the Revolving Loans of the Existing Lenders immediately prior to such Incremental Facility Closing Date, and shall acquire participations in outstanding Letters of Credit, so that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Loans outstanding and participations in outstanding Letters of Credit are
held by the Lenders pro rata based on their Revolving Commitments after giving effect to this Incremental Amendment. In lieu of making new Revolving Loans as provided above, at the election of the Administrative Agent, each Additional Lender acquiring a new or additional Revolving Loan Commitment through an Incremental Extension of Credit provided hereunder shall acquire an assignment of existing Revolving Loans (without acquiring the related Revolving Commitments) for a price equal to the outstanding principal amount thereof, so that after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Loans outstanding are held by Lenders pro rata based on their Revolving Loan Commitments after giving effect to this Incremental Amendment.

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), including the information described in Section 10.13 of the Credit Agreement.
