2

6. Reference to Credit Agreement; No Waiver.
6.1 Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Credit

diminish any right of the Agent or a Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance
and performance therewith. Any suspension or waiver by the Agent or a Lender of a
breach of this Amendment or any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement shall
not, except as expressly set forth herein, suspend, waive or affect any other breach
of this Amendment or any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, whether the
same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether of the same or of a different kind
or character. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and
representations of any Borrower contained in this Amendment, shall be deemed to have
been suspended or waived by the Agent or a Lender unless such suspension or waiver
is: (i) in writing and signed by the Agent and each Lender and (ii) delivered to the
Borrower. In no event shall the Agent’s and each Lender’s execution and delivery of
this Amendment establish a course of dealing among the Agent, each Lender, the
Borrowers, or any other obligor or in any other way obligate the Agent or each
Lender to hereafter provide any amendments or waivers with respect to the Credit
Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Amendment shall be limited precisely as
written and shall not be deemed: (A) to be a consent to a modification, amendment or
waiver of any other term or condition of the Credit Agreement or of any other Loan

now have under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents.
7. Successors and Assigns; Amendment. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided,
however, no Borrower may assign this Amendment or any of its respective rights hereunder
without the Agent’s and each Lender’s prior written consent. Any prohibited assignment of this
Amendment shall be absolutely null and void. This Amendment may only be amended or modified by a
writing signed by the Agent, each Lender and the Borrowers.
8. Severability; Construction. Wherever possible, each provision of this Amendment
shall be interpreted in such a manner so as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if
any provision of this Amendment is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such
provision or provisions shall be ineffective only to the extent of such provision and invalidity,
without invalidating the remainder of this Amendment. Neither this Amendment nor any uncertainty or
ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against Agent or each Lender, whether under any
rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Amendment has been reviewed by all
parties hereto and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the
words used so as to fairly accomplish the purposes and intentions of the parties hereto.

9. Counterparts; Facsimile. This Amendment may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery
of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile shall be equally as effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. Any party delivering an executed
counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile shall also deliver a manually executed counterpart
of this Amendment, but the failure to deliver a manually executed counterpart shall not affect the
validity, enforceability or binding effect of this Amendment.
