INTRODUCTION
A. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders are parties to the Credit Agreement dated as of February 1, 2002 (as renewed, extended, amended or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).
B. The Borrower has requested that the Lenders agree to (i) increase the Aggregate Committed Sum under the Credit Agreement to $200,000,000 and have the New Lenders assume the increased amount of the Aggregate Committed Sum, and (ii) at the Borrower’s request, permit any Lender to increase its Committed Sum or any Eligible Assignee (other than a Lender) to become a Lender so long as the Aggregate Committed Sum under the Credit Agreement does not exceed $250,000,000.
THEREFORE, the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Lenders, and the New Lenders hereby agree as follows:
Section 1. Definitions. Unless otherwise defined in this Amendment, terms used in this Amendment which are defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement. The rules of construction set forth in Section 1.02 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to this Amendment.
Section 2. Amendments. Each party hereto agrees as follows:
(a) From and after the date upon which this Amendment becomes effective (the “Effective Date”), (i) the Aggregate Committed Sum under the Credit Agreement shall be increased from $150,000,000 to $200,000,000, (ii) each New Lender shall be a Lender with all rights, powers, and privileges attendant thereto and each shall have a Committed Sum as set forth on Schedule 2.01 attached hereto, and (iii) each other Lender’s Committed Sum shall remain unchanged. From and after the Effective Date, each reference in the Credit Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits thereto, to “$150,000,000” shall be deemed to be and shall be a reference to “$200,000,000”.
(b) Schedule 2.01 attached to the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted and a revised Schedule 2.01 attached hereto shall be deemed to be, and shall be, attached to the Credit Agreement as Schedule 2.01 thereto.
(c) The following is hereby added in its entirety as Section 2.13 to the Credit Agreement:
“2.13 Increase in Aggregate Committed Sum.
(a) Provided there exists no Default or Event of Default, the Borrower may from time to time provide notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) that (i) a Lender has agreed to increase its Committed Sum under the Credit Agreement, or (ii) an
Eligible Assignee (other than a Lender) has agreed to become a Lender pursuant a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel; provided, that the Aggregate Committed Sum may at no time exceed $250,000,000. No Lender is obligated to increase its Committed Sum at any time pursuant to this Section 2.13.
(b) If the Aggregate Committed Sum is increased in accordance with this Section 2.13, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of such increase and the Increase Effective Date. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower and of each Guarantor dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of each such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Extension Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.13, the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.05(a) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent financial statements furnished pursuant to subsections (b) and (c), respectively, of Section 6.01, and (B) no Default or Event of Default exists. The Borrower shall prepay any Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans ratable with any revised Pro Rata Shares arising from any nonratable increase in the Aggregate Committed Sum under this Section 2.13.
(c) This Section 2.13 shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.12 or 10.01 to the contrary.”
Section 3. Acknowledgment and Ratification. As a material inducement to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Lenders and the New Lenders to execute and deliver this Amendment, the Borrower and each Guarantor each (a) consent to the agreements in this Amendment and (b) agree and acknowledge that the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall in no way release, diminish, impair, reduce, or otherwise affect the respective obligations of the Borrower or any Guarantor under the Loan Documents to which it is a party, which Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect. Each Guarantor ratifies the Guaranty executed by it and confirms that such Guaranty remains in full force and effect.

As a material inducement to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Lenders and the New Lenders to execute and deliver this Amendment, the Borrower and each Guarantor each represent and warrant to the Lenders and the New Lenders (with the knowledge and intent that the Lenders and the New Lenders are relying upon the same in entering into this Amendment) that as of the Effective Date of this Amendment and as of the date of execution of this Amendment, (a) all representations and warranties in the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects as though made on the date hereof, except to the extent that any of them speak to a different specific date, and (b) no Default or Event of Default exists.

2
genuineness, sufficiency, or value of the Credit Agreement, the Loan Documents, or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (b) make no representation or warranty and assume no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or any other Person or the performance or observance by such Persons of any of their obligations under the Loan Documents, or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto.
Section 6. New Lenders’ Representations, Warranties, Covenants, and Agreements. Each New Lender (a) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement, the Guaranties and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Amendment and become a Lender party to the Credit Agreement, (b) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents, (c) appoints or authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, (d) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender, and (e) specifies as its lending office and address for notices the offices set forth on the Administrative Details Form provided to the Administrative Agent.

Section 8. Payment of Fees and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay all costs, fees, and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent incident to this Amendment, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of Administrative Agent’s counsel in connection with the negotiation, preparation, delivery, and execution of this Amendment and any related documents.
Section 9. Effect on Loan Documents.
(a) The Credit Agreement and this Amendment shall be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument. Except as amended herein, the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents remain in full force and effect as originally executed. Nothing herein shall act as a waiver of any of the Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ rights under the Loan Documents, as amended, including the waiver of any Event of Default.
(b) Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, on and after the Effective Date, each reference in the Credit Agreement and the other documents delivered in connection therewith to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein” or words of like import, and each reference to the Credit
