NOW, THEREFORE, in

Loans (each as defined in the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) who
executes and delivers this Agreement as an “Extending Lender” severally agrees
to exchange all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and/or Revolving Loans,
as applicable, under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in the
amount specified as their “Existing Lender Extension Commitment” (for all
Lenders, the “Existing
Lender Extension Commitments”) on such Lender’s signature page hereto for
a like principal amount of Tranche 2 Revolving Commitment and/or Tranche 2
Revolving Loans, as applicable, under the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement on the Fifth ARCA Effective Date (as set forth on such Lender’s
signature page hereto).

Restated Credit Agreement, each Extending Lender who executes and delivers this
Agreement severally agrees to provide an additional Tranche 2 Revolving
Commitment and Tranche 2 Revolving Loans in the amount specified as their
“Additional Commitment” (the “Additional

Commitments, the “Total Extension

Credit Agreement immediately prior to the Fifth ARCA Effective
Date.
(c) Subject
to and upon the terms and conditions herein and in the Fifth Amended and

Credit Agreement had been entitled immediately prior to the Fifth ARCA Effective
