(as successor to Wachovia Bank, National Association, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders) (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and amends the Credit Agreement dated as of February 21, 2008 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) entered into among the Borrower, the institutions from time to time party thereto as Lenders (the “Lenders”), the Administrative Agent and the other agents and arrangers named therein.

WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement provides that the Credit Agreement may be amended, modified and waived from time to time;
WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party hereto agree to amend the Credit Agreement in certain respects as set forth herein and the Lenders party hereto and the Administrative Agent are agreeable to the same, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent and Lenders party hereto agree to waive the Events of Default (the “Designated Events of Default”) that have arisen due to the Borrower’s failure to comply with Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of the Credit Agreement solely as a result of the fact that the Borrower did not provide certified quarterly and annual financial statements of the Borrower to Administrative Agent and Lenders, but rather provided certified quarterly and annual financial statements of Parent to Administrative Agent and Lenders.

This waiver shall be effective only for the specific defaults comprising the Designated Events of Default, and in no event shall this waiver be deemed to be a
waiver of enforcement of any of the Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ rights or remedies with respect to any other Defaults or Events of Default now existing or hereafter arising. Nothing contained in this Amendment No. 3 nor any communications between Borrower and Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be a waiver of any rights or remedies that Administrative Agent or any Lender has or may have against Borrower, except as specifically provided herein.
