              1.     Amendment to Credit Agreement. Upon the “Effective Date” (as defined below), Section 6.10(iii) of the Credit Agreement shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:
                 “(iii) the Borrower may from time to time repurchase its Capital Stock for aggregate consideration not in excess of $110,000,000, provided that no Default or, to the knowledge of an Authorized Officer after due inquiry, Unmatured Default shall exist before or after giving effect to any such repurchase or be created as a result thereof,”
              2.     Representations and Warranties of the Borrower. The Borrower represents and warrants that:
                 (a)     Each of the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement is true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof as if made on the date hereof;
                 (b)     After giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing.
              3.     Effective Date. This Amendment shall become effective upon the date of the execution and delivery (i) of this Amendment by the Borrower and the Required Lenders and (ii) the Guarantor’s Acknowledgment attached hereto as Exhibit A by Guarantor (the “Effective Date”).

                 (a)     Except as specifically amended, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.
                 (b)     The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document, except as specifically set forth herein. Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein” or words of similar import shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
              5.     Costs and Expenses. The Borrower hereby affirms its obligation under Section 9.6 of the Credit Agreement to reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable costs, internal charges and out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Amendment, including but not limited to the attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent with respect thereto.
              6.     GOVERNING LAW. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (AS OPPOSED TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.
              7.     Headings. Section headings in this Amendment are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Amendment for any other purposes.
