PART I

INCREASE AGREEMENT

1. Definitions.

1.1 Generally. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

1.2 Effect of Facility Increase. Part I of this Agreement, constituting the Increase Agreement (the "Increase Agreement"), is entered into by Borrower, Agent and the lenders signatory to Part I hereof (collectively, the "Term A Lenders" and, individually, a "Term A Lender") to implement the terms of the increase option being exercised by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement. Term A Lenders shall be "Lenders" under and for all purposes of the Credit Agreement; and Term Loan A shall be defined as a "Loan" under and pursuant to the Credit Agreement. In addition:

(a) Aggregate Commitments. Pursuant to Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement, the term "Aggregate Commitments" now means the Commitments of all Lenders (including the Commitments to make Term Loan A hereunder), which amount, as of the effective date of this Increase Agreement, is $275,000,000, less any reductions pursuant to Section 2.06 of the Credit Agreement and Section 2.2 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, references to the "Aggregate Commitments" in Article II of the Credit Agreement shall continue to apply only to the Aggregate Commitments of the Committed Loans that are revolving loans made pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Credit Agreement, Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit.

(b) Applicable Percentage. The term "Applicable Percentage" as used in Article II of the Credit Agreement (other than Section 2.12(a)(ii)), shall continue to apply only to Committed Loans that are revolving loans made pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Credit Agreement, Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit; except that, with respect to any prepayments of Term Loan A under Section 2.05 of the Credit Agreement, the term "Applicable Percentage" shall mean the Term Loan A Percentage of Term A Lenders as set forth on Schedule A hereto.

(f) Outstanding Amount. The term "Outstanding Amount" means, with respect to Term Loan A on any date, the aggregate outstanding principal amount thereof.

2. The Term Loan A.

All such Loans are collectively referred to herein as the "Term Loan A" or the "Facility Increase". Term Loan A shall be deemed a "Loan" and a "Committed Loan" for all purposes of the Credit Agreement, except as expressly set forth herein. Schedule A hereto reflects the Facility Increase of $50,000,000, each Term A Lender's Applicable Percentage of Term Loan A, and each Lender's Applicable Percentage of the Aggregate Commitments upon the effectiveness of the Facility Increase.

(b) Interest on Term Loan A shall be due and payable at the times and in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement.

2.4 Borrowing, Conversion and Continuation of Term Loan A. Borrower shall specify in the Term Loan A Notice whether Term Loan A shall initially be a Base Rate Committed Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan, and if the latter, the duration of the Interest Period relating thereto. Thereafter, Borrower may convert and continue all or any portion of Term Loan A as a Committed Loan of one Type or the other, in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02 of the Credit Agreement.

2.5 Security Interest. Term Loan A, as a Loan under the Credit Agreement, shall share ratably with all other Loans and other Obligations under the Credit Agreement in respect to all Collateral existing from time to time under the Credit Facilities, any treasury management and foreign exchange arrangements and any interest rate swap or similar agreements with any Lender under the Credit Facilities.

2.6 Notes. If any Term A Lender requests a Note pursuant to Section 2.11(a) of the Credit Agreement to evidence such Term A Lender's Term Loan A made pursuant to this Increase Agreement, the Note to be issued with respect thereto shall be in the form of Exhibit B to this Increase Agreement.

3. Agreement of Term A Lenders. Each Term A Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Increase Agreement. Each Term A Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Increase Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

4. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of Term Loan A shall be used for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes of Borrower not in contravention of any Law or of any Loan Document.

5. Full Exercise of Increase Option. Borrower acknowledges that the Facility Increase constitutes the exercise in full of its increase option under Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement and that Section 2.14 of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be terminated following the effectiveness of the transactions contemplated hereby.
