WHEREAS, each financial institution identified on Schedule 1 hereto as an “Extending Bank” (each, an “Extending Bank”) has agreed, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, to provide Commitments terminating on the Extended Commitment Termination Date in the amounts set forth on Schedule 1 hereto opposite such Extending Bank’s name under the heading “Commitment” (the “Extended Commitments”);

WHEREAS, on the Third Amendment Effective Date (as defined in Section 7 below), the existing Commitment of each Extending Bank will be converted into an Extended Commitment;

WHEREAS, certain other financial institutions referred to herein as “Non-Extending Banks” (each, a “Non-Extending Bank”) have informed the Borrower of their desire to terminate their existing Commitment; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(b) On the Third Amendment Effective Date, the Commitment of each Existing Bank that is an Extending Bank will be converted into an Extended Commitment under the Amended Credit Agreement in the amounts set forth on Schedule 1 hereto, so that the aggregate Commitment of such Extending Bank under the Amended Credit Agreement shall equal such Extended Bank’s Extended Commitments.
