WHEREAS, Borrower and Lender are parties to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of November 15, 2013 (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of July 18, 2014 and as may be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that Lender amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement as more fully set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, Lender has agreed to the requested amendments on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, the terms and conditions contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree that all capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement, and further agree as follows:

1. Amendments to Credit Agreement.

(b) Section 5.1 of the Credit Agreement, Financial Statements and Other Information, is hereby modified and amended by deleting subsection (b) in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

“(b) Intentionally Omitted.”

(c) Exhibit 5.1 to the Credit Agreement, Form of Compliance Certificate, is hereby modified and amended by deleting such Exhibit in its entirety and any reference to such Exhibit in the Credit Agreement shall also be deleted.

2. No Other Amendments. Except as expressly set forth above, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as an amendment, modification or waiver of any right, power or remedy of Lender under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Except for the amendments set forth above, the text of the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect and Borrower


hereby ratifies and confirms its obligations thereunder. This Amendment shall not constitute a modification of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or a course of dealing with Lender at variance with the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents such as to require further notice by Lender to require strict compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents in the future. Borrower acknowledges and expressly agrees that Lender reserves the right to, and does in fact, require strict compliance with all terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as amended herein.

3. Representations and Warranties. In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Amendment by Lender, Borrower hereby represents and warrants in favor of Lender as follows:

(b) This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by Borrower, and constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general applicability affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and (ii) the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

(c) As of the date hereof and after giving effect to this Amendment, the representations and warranties made by or with respect to Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are true and correct in all material respects (unless any such representation or warranty is qualified as to materiality or as to Material Adverse Effect, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects), except to the extent previously fulfilled with respect to specific prior dates;

(d) Immediately after giving effect hereto, no event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes a Default or an Event of Default or would constitute a Default or an Event of Default but for the requirement that notice be given or time elapse or both; and

(e) Borrower has no knowledge of any challenge to Lender’s claims arising under the Loan Documents, or to the effectiveness of the Loan Documents.
