The Borrower and the Lenders party hereto wish now to amend the Credit Agreement in certain respects, and accordingly, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used in violation of applicable law or, directly or indirectly, for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying any Margin Stock (provided that the Borrower may use proceeds of the Loans to purchase its common stock in connection with the Tender Offer). Other than in connection with the Tender Offer, Margin Stock shall be purchased by the Obligors only with the proceeds of Indebtedness not directly or indirectly secured by Margin Stock (within the meaning of Regulation U), or with the proceeds of equity capital of the Borrower.
