WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the Credit Agreement in certain respects;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration

follows:
SECTION 1 AMENDMENTS. Effective on the Amendment Effective Date (defined below), the
Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:
1.1 Each of the following definitions in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended
and restated in its entirety as follows:
Interest Rate means, for each day, a rate per annum equal to the sum of (a) (i) in
the case of any day from and including the first day of each calendar month through and
including the 15th day of such calendar month, the LIBO Rate for the first day of such
calendar month and (ii) in the case of any day from and including the 16th day of each
calendar month through and including the last day of such calendar month, the LIBO Rate for
the 16th day of such calendar month (the rate set forth in this clause (a) being the
“Base LIBO Rate”) plus (b) (i) in the case of Revolving Loans, (x) if the Total
Outstandings is less than or equal to the Borrowing Base, a margin of two and three-quarters
percent (2.75%) per annum, and (y) if the Total Outstandings exceed the Borrowing Base, then
(A) a margin of three and one-half percent (3.50%) per annum shall apply to the portion of
the Revolving Loans equal to the amount by which the Total Outstandings exceed the Borrowing
Base and (B) a margin of two and three-quarters percent (2.75%) per annum shall apply to the
portion of Revolving Loans not described in the foregoing clause (A) (with each
determination of the Borrowing Base in this clause (i) to be effective as of the
first day of the calendar month during which the applicable Borrowing Base Certificate is
delivered) and (ii) in the case of the Term Loans, a margin of two and one-half percent
(2.50%) per annum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default exists,
the applicable margin shall be increased by two percent (2.00%) per annum. For purposes of
this definition, “LIBO Rate” means, for each date of calculation, (1) the rate of
interest (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16th of 1%) published in The Wall
Street Journal on such day (or the immediately preceding Business Day, if such date is
not a Business Day) in its “Money Rates” column as the one-month London Interbank Offered
Rate for Dollar-denominated deposits (if The Wall Street Journal ceases to
publish such a rate or substantially changes the methodology used to determine such rate,
then the rate shall be the rate of interest (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next
1/16th of 1%) published by Reuters Monitor Rates Service on such day (or the immediately
preceding Business Day, if such date is not a Business Day) as the one-month London
Interbank Offered Rate for Dollar-denominated deposits) or (2) if such rate is not published
or available, such rate as shall be otherwise independently determined by the Agent on a
basis substantially similar to the methodology used by The Wall Street Journal on
the date of this Agreement.

which case they were true and correct as of such earlier date); (b) no Event of Default or
Unmatured Event of Default exists or will result from the execution of this Amendment; (c) no event
or circumstance has occurred since the Effective Date that has resulted, or would reasonably be
expected to result, in a Material Adverse Effect; (d) the execution and delivery by the Company of
