Notwithstanding anything set forth above, for the determination dates ending March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019, Maintenance Capital Expenditures in an aggregate amount not to exceed $12,000,000 shall not be deducted from Consolidated EBITDA.

2. Section 2.9 of the Credit Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

“2.9 Revolving Credit Facility Fee. From March 21, 2019 to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for distribution to the Revolving Credit Lenders pro-rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Percentages, a Revolving Credit Facility Fee quarterly in arrears commencing June 1, 2019, and on the first day of each September, December, March and June thereafter (in respect of the prior three months or any portion thereof).
