Agreement, as amended by this Amendment. It is the intention and understanding of the parties
hereto that this Amendment shall act as an amendment to the Credit Agreement and shall not act as a
novation of the indebtedness evidenced by the Credit Agreement.

counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of
the parties hereto may execute this Amendment by signing any such counterpart and sending the same
by telecopier, mail, messenger or courier to the Administrative Agent. This Amendment shall be
