1. Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new clause (e) at the end thereof:

"(e) (A) On the First Amendment Effective Date, all outstanding Term Loans of each Lender that has theretofore executed and delivered a counterpart of the First Amendment to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms thereof (each such Lender, a "Term Loan Consenting Lender" and, collectively, the "Term Loan Consenting Lenders") shall be automatically converted (the "Term Loan Conversion") into new term loans hereunder (each such term loan, a "Converted Term Loan" and, collectively, the "Converted Term Loans"). On or after the First Amendment Effective Date, each Term Loan Consenting Lender which holds a Term Note shall be entitled to surrender such Term Note to the Borrower against delivery of a New Term Note completed in conformity with Section 1.05; provided, however, that if any such Term Note is not so surrendered then from and after the First Amendment Effective Date such Term Note shall be deemed to evidence the Converted Term Loans into which the Term Loans theretofore evidenced by such Term Note have been converted. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with a New Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make a term loan or term loans (each, an "Additional Term Loan" and, collectively, the "Additional Term Loans" and, together with the Converted Term Loans, the "New Term Loans") to the Borrower, which Additional Term Loans shall be incurred pursuant to a single drawing on the First Amendment Effective Date. All New Term Loans (i) shall be denominated in Dollars, (ii) except as hereinafter provided, shall, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, provided that, except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 1.10(b), all New Term Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type, and (iii) shall be made by each such Lender in that aggregate principal amount which does not exceed the New Term Loan Commitment of such Lender on the First Amendment Effective Date. Once repaid, New Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, in Section 4.02), the proceeds of the Additional Term Loans shall be immediately applied by the Borrower to repay all outstanding Term Loans of Term Loan Non-Consenting Lenders (if any) on the First Amendment Effective Date.

(B)(i) Each Borrowing of Term Loans existing on the First Amendment Effective Date immediately prior to the Term Loan Conversion (other than those Term Loans of Term Loan Non-Consenting Lenders) and maintained as Eurodollar Loans (each, an "Existing Term Loan

Borrowing") shall, upon the occurrence of the Term Loan Conversion, be deemed to be a new Borrowing of New Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement, (ii) each such newly-deemed Borrowing of New Term Loans shall be subject to the same Interest Period (and Eurodollar Rate) as the Existing Term Loan Borrowing to which it relates, (iii) Additional Term Loans shall be initially incurred pursuant to a single Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans which shall be added to (and thereafter be deemed to constitute a part of) each such newly-deemed Borrowing of New Term Loans on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes of the various such newly-deemed Borrowings of New Term Loans) and (iv) in connection with the Term Loan Conversion and the incurrence of Additional Term Loans pursuant to this Section 1.01(e), the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby authorized to) take all appropriate actions to ensure that all Lenders with outstanding New Term Loans (after giving effect to the Term Loan Conversion and the incurrence of Additional Term Loans pursuant to Section 1.01(e)(A)) participate in each newly-deemed Borrowing of New Term Loans on a pro rata basis."

(ii) Each Credit-Linked Deposit existing on the First Amendment Effective Date immediately prior to the Credit-Linked Deposit Conversion (other than a Credit-Linked Deposit of a CL Non-Consenting Lender) (each, an "Existing Credit-Linked Deposit") shall, upon the occurrence of the Credit-Linked Deposit Conversion, be deemed to be a new deposit of Credit-Linked Deposits for all purposes of this Agreement, and (ii) each such newly-deemed deposit of Credit-Linked Deposits shall be subject to the same Interest Period (and LIBOR Rate) and Scheduled Investment Termination Date as the Existing Credit-Linked

(b) all of the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and in the other Credit Documents are true and correct in all material respects on the First Amendment Effective Date, both before and after giving effect to this Amendment, with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the First Amendment Effective Date (it being understood that any representation or warranty made as of a specific date shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such specific date); and

2. This Amendment is limited as specified and shall not constitute a modification, acceptance or waiver of any other provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document.

3.

4. THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
