10.Amendment of Section 2.13 - Disbursements, Reimbursement. Section 2.13 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from Issuer a participation in each Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of such Letter of Credit (as in effect from time to time) and the amount of such drawing, respectively, and, in each case if the Letter of Credit was denominated in another currency in the Dollar Equivalent amount of the currency in which such Letter of Credit is issued.
(b) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, Issuer will promptly notify Agent and Borrowing Agent. Regardless of whether Borrowing Agent shall
4
have received such notice, Borrowers shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse Issuer shall sometimes be referred to as a "Reimbursement Obligation") Issuer prior to 1:00 p.m., on each date that an amount is paid by Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a "Drawing Date") in an amount equal to the amount so paid by Issuer (and, if the Letter of Credit was denominated in another currency, in the Dollar Equivalent amount of the amount so paid by Issuer). In the event Borrowers fail to reimburse Issuer for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 Noon, on the Drawing Date, Issuer will promptly notify Agent and each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment thereof, and Borrowers shall be automatically deemed to have requested that a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan in Dollars (and, if the Letter of Credit was denominated in another currency, in the Dollar Equivalent amount equal to the amount so paid by Issuer in such other currency on the Drawing Date thereof) be made by Lenders to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, and Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Advance (all whether or not the conditions specified in Section 8.3 are then satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason) as provided for in Section 2.13(c) immediately below. Any notice given by Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.13(b) may be oral if promptly confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such a confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
(c) Each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.13(b) make available to Issuer through Agent at the Payment Office an amount in Dollars in immediately available funds equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.21) of the amount of the drawing (and, if the Letter of Credit was denominated in another currency, in the Dollar Equivalent amount equal to the amount paid by the Issuer in such other currency on the Drawing Date thereof), whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.13(d)) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan to Borrowers in that amount. If any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment so notified fails to make available to Agent, for the benefit of Issuer, the amount in Dollars of such Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of such amount by 2:00 p.m. on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender's obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date, and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate
5
applicable to Revolving Advances maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. Agent and Issuer will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of Agent or Issuer to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligations under this Section 2.13(c), provided that such Lender shall not be obligated to pay interest as provided in Section 2.13(c)(i) and Section 2.13(c)(ii) until and commencing from the date of receipt of notice from Agent or Issuer of a drawing.
(d) With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan to Borrowers in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.13(b), because of Borrowers' failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 8.3 hereof (other than any notice requirements) or for any other reason, Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from Agent a borrowing (each a "Letter of Credit Borrowing") in Dollars in the amount of such drawing (and, if the Letter of Credit was denominated in another currency, in the Dollar Equivalent amount equal to the amount paid by the Issuer in such other currency on the Drawing Date thereof). Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan. Each applicable Lender's payment to Agent pursuant to Section 2.13(c) shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a "Participation Advance" from such Lender in satisfaction of its Participation Commitment in respect of the applicable Letter of Credit under this Section 2.13.
(e) Each applicable Lender's Participation Commitment in respect of the Letters of Credit shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (x) Issuer ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (y) no Letter of Credit issued or created hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled; and (z) all Persons (other than Borrowers) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.

11.Amendment of Section 2.19 - Mandatory Prepayments. Section 2.19 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new subsection (d) immediately below subsection (c) of Section 2.19 of the Credit Agreement:
(d) If on any Computation Date the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Advances plus Swing Loans outstanding at any time exceeds the lesser of (a) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit or (b) the Formula Amount (without deduction of Swing Loans) as a result of a change in exchange rates between one (1) or more Optional Currencies and Dollars, then the Agent shall notify the Borrowing Agent of the same. The Borrowers shall pay or prepay (subject to Borrowers' indemnity obligations under Section 2.2(g)) within one (1) Business Day after receiving such notice such that the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Advances plus Swing Loans outstanding shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit or (b) the Formula Amount (without deduction of Swing Loans) after giving effect to such payments or prepayments.

A certificate of any Lender setting forth such Lender's determination of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be delivered to the Borrowing Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error so long as such determination is made on a reasonable basis.
