Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Loan Agreement.

          Section 1.2(a)(v) of Amendment No. 5 provides that Borrowers may, at their option, increase the amount of the Maximum Credit, subject to certain conditions. As set forth in the notice dated August 1, 2007, Administrative Borrower notified Agent of its intention to exercise such option and increase the Maximum Credit from $225,000,000 to $255,000,000. The conditions to such increase include that a Lender or Eligible Transferee increase or provide, as the case may be, an additional Commitment so that the aggregate amount of the Commitments equal the amount of the Maximum Credit as requested to be increased.

("Wells Fargo"), in form and substance satisfactory to Wachvoia, duly authorized, executed and delivered by Wells Fargo, whereby, among other things, Wells Fargo purchases such Commitment Increase from Wachovia and assumes all of the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Agreement, (b) all of the conditions to the effectiveness of such Assignment and Acceptance have been satisfied and (c) as of the date of such Commitment Increase, no Default or Event of Default shall exist or have occu rred and be continuing.

          On and after the effectiveness of the Commitment Increase, all references to the term "Maximum Credit" in the Loan Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements shall be amended to mean $255,000,000.

          This letter agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Illinois but excluding any principles of conflicts of law or other rule of law that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Illinois.

          This letter agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this letter agreement by telefacsimile shall have the same force and effect as the delivery of an original executed counterpart of this letter agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this

letter agreement by telefacsimile shall also deliver an original executed counterpart, but the failure to do so shall not affect the validity, enforceability or binding effect of such agreement.
