other things, the Banks extended to the Borrower a credit facility in the
original principal amount not to exceed Ninety Million and 00/100 Dollars

acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto

Agreement shall have the same meaning herein as in the Loan Agreement unless
the context clearly indicates otherwise.
2. The definition of "Total Commitment Amount" contained in Section
1.01 of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and in its stead
is inserted the following:
"Total Commitment Amount" shall mean the obligation hereunder
of the Banks to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit up to the
maximum aggregate principal amount of One Hundred Million and 00/100
Dollars ($100,000,000.00) (subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement).
3. Section 2.01(a) of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its
entirety and in its stead is inserted the following:
(a) Revolving Credit Loans. Subject to the terms and
conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties set
forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Banks
severally (but not jointly) agree to make, continue or convert loans
(the "Revolving Credit Loans") to the Borrower at any time or

provided, however, that each Bank shall not be required to make
Revolving Credit Loans (and participate in the issuance of Letters of
Credit) in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time
exceeding such Bank's Commitment Percentage. The Revolving Credit Loans
shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Banks' Commitment
Percentage. Within the limits of time and amount set forth in this
Section 2.01, and subject to the provisions of this Agreement
including, without limitation, the Banks' right to demand repayment of
the Revolving Credit Loans upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section 2.01;
provided however, that if Borrower prepays any Libor Rate Loan on any
day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period for such
Libor Rate Loan, then Borrower shall comply with the terms and
