W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, credit facilities have been extended to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement (as amended, modified, supplemented, increased and extended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of October 6, 2015 by and among the Borrower, the Guarantors identified therein, the Lenders identified therein and the Administrative Agent; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement the Borrower has the right to increase the Aggregate Revolving Commitments subject to the terms and conditions therein;

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested an Incremental Revolving Increase; and

WHEREAS, each of the Lenders identified on the signature pages hereto (each an “Incremental Lender”) has agreed to increase its Revolving Commitment on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.Defined Terms.  Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings provided to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

2.Increase in Aggregate Revolving Commitments.  The Aggregate Revolving Commitments are increased pursuant to Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement to $70,000,000.  The Revolving Commitment of each Incremental Lender is increased by the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name on Exhibit A attached hereto.  Immediately after giving effect to such increase of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the increase of each Incremental Lender’s Revolving Commitment as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from (x) the L/C Issuer a risk participation in each outstanding Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit and (y) the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in each outstanding Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.  If any Revolving Loans are outstanding on the date hereof, each Incremental Lender shall make Revolving Loans, the proceeds of which shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to prepay Revolving Loans of the existing Lenders, in an amount necessary such that after giving effect thereto the outstanding Revolving Loans are held ratably among all of the Lenders with a Revolving Commitment (based on its Applicable Percentage of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments set for opposite such Lender’s name on Exhibit A attached hereto) and the Borrower shall pay any amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Credit Agreement as a result of any such prepayment of Revolving Loans of existing Lenders.
