3
Payment Date (as so amended, the “Amended Letter of Credit”). The Amended Letter of

reduce on each date on which the Borrower shall have made a timely payment of accrued interest on

such reduction to be in the amount of the interest so paid. The Borrower shall cause the Amended
Letter of Credit to be issued to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Revolving Loan Agreement
not later than seven Business Days following the date hereof. The Amended Letter of Credit shall
be in form and substance and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. In the event
that the Principal Prepayment (plus accrued interest) is not made on or before the twenty-first
(21st) day from the date hereof, Borrower shall immediately cause the Existing Letter of
Credit to be reinstated. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall in any way
effect the Borrower’s obligation to maintain the Interest Reserve Letter of Credit in full force
and effect.
Section 5. Authorization to Amend Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent is
hereby authorized to consent to the amendment of the Existing Letter of Credit as provided in
Section 4 above, and after the Fifth Amendment Effective Date the Borrower shall have no
further obligation to maintain, renew, replace or reinstate the Existing Letter of Credit pursuant
to the Fourth Amendment and Waiver.
Section 6. Mandatory Prepayments. Section 2.6 of the Term Loan Agreement is hereby
amended by:
