Tranche A Term Loans. The commitments of the Additional Revolving Lenders and the conversion
undertakings of the Converting Revolving Lenders are several and no such Lender will be responsible

amount of New Revolving Commitments.
(c) The obligation of each New Tranche A Term Lender to make or acquire by
conversion New Tranche A Term Loans, and the obligation of each New Revolving Lender to make or

Borrowings and the Existing Revolving Loan Borrowings, respectively, being refinanced, and the
Adjusted LIBO Rates applicable to such New Tranche A Term Loan Borrowings and such New Revolving
Loan Borrowings during such initial Interest Periods shall be the same as those applicable to the
Existing Tranche A Term Loan Borrowings and Existing Revolving Loan Borrowings, respectively, being

Credit prior to the Amendment Effective Date and set forth on Schedule 4(f) hereto (an
“Existing Letter of Credit”) shall be deemed, without further action by any New Revolving

Lender and each New Revolving Lender shall have been deemed to have purchased from such Issuing
Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.05(d) of the Credit
Agreement. Concurrently with such grant, the participations in the Existing Letters of Credit
granted to the Existing Revolving Lenders under the Credit Agreement shall be automatically
canceled without further action by any of the parties thereto. On and after the Amendment
Effective Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall constitute a Letter of Credit for all purposes
