by inserting the following definition in appropriate
alphabetical order:

(b) Section 9.7 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended
by inserting the parenthetical "(other than the
Arranger)" immediately after the words "each Agent"
in the first sentence thereof.
(c) Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby
amended:
(i) by deleting the language "of more than 80% of the
Lenders" at the end of clause b(iv) of the first
paragraph and inserting the language "of the holders
of more than 80% of the Revolving Commitments then in
effect or, if the Revolving Commitments have been

(ii) by inserting immediately after clause (b)(iv) of
the first paragraph the following new clause
(b)(iv-A):
"(iv-A) (a) increase any advance rate set forth in the definition of "Borrowing
Base" or (b) amend or modify Section 2.15(a) to increase the amount of
Protective Advances permitted beyond the amount of Protective Advances that
would have been permitted under Section 2.15(a) as in effect on the Closing
Date, in each case, without the written consent of the holders of more than
66-2/3 of the Revolving Commitments then in effect or, if the Revolving
Commitments have been terminated, the Revolving Extensions of Credit then
outstanding"
; and
(iii) by deleting the last paragraph of Section 10.1

3. EFFECTIVENESS. This Amendment shall become effective on the

Required Lenders and (b) the Consent (attached hereto), executed and delivered

Borrower hereby represents and warrants that, after giving effect to the
provisions of this Amendment, (a) each of the representations and warranties
made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents are true and correct
in all material respects on and as of the date hereof as if made on and as of
such date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties refer
to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material
respects as of such earlier date, and (b) no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing.
5. CONTINUING EFFECT OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. This Amendment
shall not constitute an amendment of any provision of the Credit Agreement not
expressly referred to herein and shall not be construed as a waiver or consent
to any Default, Event of Default or future action on the part of any Loan Party
that would require the consent of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent. As
expressly amended hereby, the provisions of the Credit Agreement are and shall
remain in full force and effect.
