Dear Mr. Pettit:

You have advised us that Borrower requests that Administrative Agent and the Lenders consent to Borrower completing the Equity Transaction on a date after July 31, 2012, but no later than August 31, 2012 (the “Equity Transaction Time Frame”).

As evidenced by this Consent Letter (this “Letter”), Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Equity Transaction occurring in the Equity Transaction Time Frame (the “Specified Consent”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Equity Transaction shall not occur any later than August 31, 2012.

Except as specifically consented to herein, all of the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are, and remain, in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms.

This Letter does not imply any obligation on the part of Administrative Agent or the Lenders, and neither Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be obligated, at any time, to grant further amendments, modifications, consents, or waivers.

The consent contained in this Letter is expressly limited to the Specified Consent, as further limited herein. Neither this Letter, nor any other actions taken by, or any inaction on the part of, Administrative Agent or the Lenders, shall be deemed to be (i) a waiver of any Default or Event of Default which exists or may exist hereafter, except as expressly provided herein, or (ii) a waiver of (or an agreement to forbear from exercising) any rights or remedies that Administrative Agent or the Lenders have pursuant to the Credit Agreement and applicable law by reason of any Default or Event of Default.

This Letter may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of a copy of this Letter by electronic mail in “portable document format” (“.pdf”) form, or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance hereof, will have the same effect as physical delivery of this Letter bearing the original signature.


THIS LETTER, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.

THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

Please confirm that the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding by signing and returning to us the enclosed copy of this Letter, which shall become a binding agreement upon our receipt.
