          WHEREAS, the Credit Parties desire to include certain fees and expenses owing under the Working Capital Credit Agreement as Secured Obligations under the Credit Agreement;
          WHEREAS, the Lenders are willing to agree to this Consent on and subject to the terms and conditions contained herein;
          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual covenants contained herein and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Credit Parties and the Lenders party hereto hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
AMENDMENT
          Section 1.1 Amendment to Section 1. Section 1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition of “Obligations” in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
          ““Obligations” shall mean (i) all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or, to the extent related to the Loans, any other Credit Document, and (ii) all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent (as defined in the Working Capital Credit Agreement) or any Working Capital Lender (as defined in Section 14.01(b)) pursuant to the terms of Section 14.01(b).”
          Section 1.2 Amendment to Section 14.01. Section 14.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by designating the existing provision as paragraph (a) thereof and adding the following language as new paragraphs (b) and (c):

Any limitation on rights of the Working Capital Lenders contained in this Section 14.01(b) are applicable solely in their capacity as Working Capital Lenders and do not apply to any rights they may have as Lenders under this Agreement. Solely for the purposes of this Section 14.01(b), the Working Capital Lenders and the Administrative Agent (as defined in the Working Capital Credit Agreement) shall be third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.
          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, if the Liens on the Collateral are to be released with respect to the Obligations pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(6) of the Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement, then prior to such release the Borrower shall pay a retainer to the professionals for the noteholders under the Senior Notes Indenture in a reasonable amount to be mutually agreed between the Required Lenders and the Borrower.”

          Section 4.2 This Consent is limited as specified and shall not, except as expressly set forth herein, constitute a modification, acceptance, consent to deviation from or waiver of any other provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document.
          Section 4.3 This Consent may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts when executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A complete set of counterparts shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Consent by facsimile transmission, as a .pdf attachment or by other electronic means of transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Consent.

          (e) the Approved Budget in effect on the Consent Effective Date shall provide for the payment of the costs, fees and expenses referred to in Section 4.5(d) above.
          Section 4.6 Except for deliveries that are required pursuant to the Credit Agreement, each of the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, none of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall have any duty to disseminate any information or materials, or to solicit the participation, of any Lender (or any affiliate (including funds under common management) thereof).
          Section 4.7 The Borrower and its Subsidiaries agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective affiliates and each director, officer, employee, representative and agent thereof (each, an “indemnified person”) from and against any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations or inquiries), claims, losses, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be incurred by or asserted against or involve the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other such indemnified person as a result of or arising out of or in any way related to or resulting from the matters related to this Amendment or any of the other Credit Documents (collectively, the “indemnifiable claims”) and, upon demand, to pay and reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each other indemnified person for any reasonable legal or other out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such indemnifiable claim (whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other such indemnified person is a party to any action or proceeding out of which any such expenses arise). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnified party shall be entitled to seek any indemnity for any indemnifiable claim arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) or otherwise caused by action or inaction of such indemnified person.
          Section 4.8 From and after the Consent Effective Date, all references in the Credit Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents to the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the Credit Agreement as modified by this Consent.
