NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual execution hereof and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.         Incremental Revolving Commitments; Reallocations.

(a)       Each Incremental Revolving Lender hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, to provide an Incremental Revolving Commitment to the Borrowers on the Incremental Amendment Effective Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount set forth opposite such Incremental Revolving Lender’s name on Schedule I attached hereto (each, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment” and, collectively, the “Incremental Revolving Commitments”), on the terms set forth herein and in the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby), and subject to the conditions set forth herein.  The Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to be “Revolving Commitments” as defined in the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby) for all purposes of the Credit Documents having terms and provisions identical to those applicable to the Revolving Commitments outstanding immediately prior to the Incremental Amendment Effective Date.

(b)       It is understood and agreed that (i) the Revolving Commitment Increase is being provided pursuant to the additional amount basket set forth in clause (ii) of Section 2.08(d) of the Credit Agreement and (ii) the effective date of the Revolving Commitment Increase shall be the Incremental Amendment Effective Date.

(c)       Each Incremental Revolving Lender (i) confirms that a copy of the Credit Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents, together with copies of the financial statements referred to therein 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 make an Incremental Revolving Commitment, have been made available to such Incremental Lender; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, JPMorgan in its capacity as the lead arranger and bookrunner with respect to this Amendment, or any other Lender or agent 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 Credit Agreement or the other applicable Credit Documents, including this Amendment; (iii) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (iv) acknowledges and agrees that upon the Incremental Amendment Effective Date such Incremental Revolving Lender shall be a “Lender” and a “Revolving Lender” under, and for all purposes of, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall be subject to and bound by the terms thereof, and shall perform all the obligations of and shall have all rights of a Lender and a Revolving Lender thereunder.

(d)       Upon the effectiveness of the Revolving Commitment Increase pursuant hereto and Section 2.08(d) of the Credit Agreement, (i) each Incremental Revolving Lender (new or existing) shall be deemed to have accepted an assignment from the existing Revolving Lenders, and the existing Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have made an assignment to each new or existing Revolving Lender accepting a new or increased Revolving Commitment in connection with the Revolving Commitment Increase, of an interest in each then outstanding Revolving Loan  (in each case, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Assignment and Assumption) and (ii) the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the existing and new Revolving Lenders shall be automatically adjusted such that, after giving effect to such assignments and adjustments, all Revolving Credit Exposure under the Credit Agreement is held ratably by the Revolving Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolving Commitments.  Assignments pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made in exchange for the principal amount assigned plus accrued and unpaid interest and shall not be subject to the assignment fee set forth in  of the Credit Agreement.  The Borrower shall make any payments under Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement resulting from such assignments.
