Credit Agreement, dated as of June 7, 2005, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Credit
Agreement dated May 14, 2007 and Second Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of February 12, 2008
(as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”).
B. The Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agent have agreed to modify the Credit
Agreement in the manner hereinafter set forth:
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a) Section 1.1 is hereby amended by amending in its entirety the
following definition so that such definition now reads as follows.
“Revolving Commitment Termination Date” shall mean January 2,
2010.
(b) Section 2.1(a) is amended in its entirety so that such Section now
reads as follows.
(a) Revolving Commitment. During the Commitment Period,
subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to
make revolving credit loans (“Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower from
time to time for the purposes hereinafter set forth; provided, however, that
(i) with regard to each Lender individually, the sum of such Lender’s share
of outstanding Revolving Loans [p] such Lender’s LOC Commitment Percentage

Percentage of the aggregate Revolving Committed Amount, and (ii) with regard

Loans and may be repaid and re- borrowed in accordance with the provisions
hereof. Fixed LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made by each Lender at its LIBOR
Lending Office.

execution by the Credit Parties of this Third Amendment. No Commitment Fees shall
