WHEREAS, Section 2.18(d) of the Credit Agreement provides that on each Increased Facility Closing Date, the Credit Agreement and the Schedules thereto shall be amended to the extent necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the increased Commitments evidenced thereby and that any such deemed amendment may be effected in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (it being understood that this Amendment is one of such deemed amendments).
