For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood, acknowledged and agreed that the Lenders shall not be deemed to have automatically granted an extension, waiver or forbearance consistent with a Senior Lender Waiver/Forbearance of any Incorporated Surviving Senior Loan Agreement Covenant where the Companies are complying with the corresponding covenant contained in the Senior Loan Agreement and/or have cured the corresponding covenant breach contained in the Senior Loan Agreement, and for this purpose the occurrence of a default under the cross-default provisions of the Senior Loan Agreement resulting from the breach of any Incorporated Surviving Senior Loan Agreement Covenant shall not be considered a failure to comply with the corresponding covenant contained in the Senior Loan Agreement. At the request of the Lenders, the Companies covenant and agree to enter into an amendment to the Purchase Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders, to evidence any extension, waiver or forbearance arising from the breach of any Incorporated Surviving Senior Loan Agreement Covenant required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6(d).

(e) Termination of Covenants upon Satisfaction of Put Price without a Put Note. Except for (i) those provisions of the Purchase Agreement that survive payment of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.5 of the Purchase Agreement, (ii) the provisions of Section 5 of this Second Amendment that remain in effect so long as any Lender owns any shares of LTN Common Stock in accordance therewith, and (iii) the Equity-Related Covenants contained in Section 6.14 of the Purchase Agreement that remain in effect for each Lender so long as such Lender owns any shares of Common Stock, the Companies shall no longer be bound by any of the Pre-Put Exercise Period Covenants or Post-Put Exercise Period Covenants upon payment and satisfaction in full of the Put Price in cash, without any obligation on the part of the Companies to execute and deliver a Put Note.

7. Amendments to Senior Loan Documents. The Companies covenant and agree that so long as Parent has any obligations to any Lender under Section 6.16 of the Purchase Agreement or Put Note issued thereunder, the Companies shall:

(a) Provide to such Lender true, correct and complete copies of any amendment, modification or restatement of the Senior Loan Documents, within ten (10) days following the execution and delivery of any such amendment, modification or restatement.

(b) Not enter into or permit to be entered into any amendment, modification or restatement of the Senior Loan Documents (i) that amends, modifies, restates or otherwise changes the conditions upon which the Put obligations can be satisfied as set forth in the Senior Loan Agreement on the date hereof, or conflicts with any of the provisions of Section 6.16 of the Purchase Agreement (as modified hereby), (ii) the purpose of which is to directly or indirectly make it more burdensome for Parent to satisfy the Put obligations to an Exercising Lender or (iii) that eliminates any covenant contained in the Senior Loan Agreement that is part of the Pre-Put Exercise Period Covenants or Post-Put Exercise Period Covenants.

8. Representations and Warranties. Each Company hereby represents and warrants to Lenders that:

(a) Authorization. Each Company is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Second Amendment and all deliveries required hereunder.

(b) No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Second Amendment and all deliveries required hereunder, and the performance by each Company of its obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, under Section 6.16 of the Purchase Agreement, as amended hereby) do not and will not conflict with any provision of law or of the charter or by-laws, operating agreement or partnership agreement of any Company or of any agreement binding upon any Company (including the Senior Loan Agreement).

(c) Validity and Binding Effect. This Second Amendment is a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Company, enforceable against such Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by general principles of equity limiting the availability of equitable remedies.

9. Conditions to Effectiveness of Second Amendment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Second Amendment shall be deemed to be effective as of the date hereof and the effectiveness of this Second Amendment shall be subject to, the satisfaction of all of the following conditions:

(a) Second Amendment. This Second Amendment, duly authorized and fully executed by each Company and the Lenders, and such other agreements, documents and instruments as the Lenders may reasonably require, shall have been delivered to Lenders.

(b) Restated Senior Loan Agreement. (i) A fully executed copy of the Senior Loan Agreement shall have been delivered to the Lenders and shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders; and (ii) fully executed copies of all agreements, documents and instruments executed and/or delivered in connection with or required pursuant to the Senior Loan Agreement shall have been delivered to the Lenders and shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders.

(c) Senior Lender Subordination Agreement. The Senior Lender Subordination Agreement shall have been amended in a manner that is satisfactory, in form and substance, to the Lenders, in order to reflect, among other things, repayment of the Senior Subordinated Loans.

(d) Corporate Authorizations. Each Company shall have delivered to Lenders satisfactory evidence of its authorization to enter into this Second Amendment and complete the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e) Reimbursement of Expenses. The Companies shall have reimbursed the Lenders for those costs and expenses incurred by the Lenders through the date hereof for which reimbursement is required under Section 10 hereof concurrently with the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Second Amendment.

10. Costs and Expenses. The Companies shall jointly and severally pay all costs and expenses in connection with the development, negotiation, preparation and enforcement of this Second Amendment, the Put Notes and other related loan documents, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, with any costs and expenses relating to this Second Amendment and transactions contemplated hereby to be reimbursed by the Companies concurrently or substantially concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Second Amendment.

11. Additional Agreements.

(a) Lenders hereby acknowledge that they and the Sponsor are negotiating towards a possible sale to the Sponsor (and/or members of the Sponsor or Affiliates of the Sponsor) all of their shares of Subdebt Stock and all of their Warrant Stock to the Sponsor (and/or members of the Sponsor or Affiliates of the Sponsor), subject to the condition that Lenders will not be required to make any representations or warranties about Parent or its Subsidiaries in connection therewith and each Lender will only be required to represent and warrant with respect to itself only that it owns the Warrant Stock and/or Subdebt Stock being sold by it free and clear of any encumbrances, security interests or liens of any kind and that it has all requisite power and authority to make such sale and has taken all necessary action to authorize such sale, and that no consent or approval of any other Person is necessary for such Lender to enter into and consummate such sale (other than any consents or approvals which have been obtained).

(b) Upon consummation of such sales to the Sponsor (and/or members of the Sponsor or Affiliates of the Sponsor), all of the shares of Warrant Stock and Subdebt Stock sold will become Excluded Shares and as a consequence Section 6.16 shall cease to have any application for any such Excluded Shares.

(c) In the event that the Sponsor (and/or members of the Sponsor or Affiliates of the Sponsor) and Lenders agree in writing to purchase any or all of the Warrant Stock and Subdebt Stock and the Sponsor (and/or members of the Sponsor or Affiliates of the Sponsor, as appropriate) subsequently fails to close such transaction, and the Put is exercised in accordance with Section 6.16 and, pursuant to Section 6.16(g), if the Board shall determine that Parent and its Subsidiaries do not have sufficient funds on hand to pay the Put Price in full, Sponsor shall thereafter be obligated to contribute additional capital to the Parent sufficient to permit payment of the Put Price in full.

(d) Lenders acknowledge that the Sponsor is executing this Second Amendment solely for the purpose of evidencing its agreement to this Section 11.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders shall have the right to sell, transfer and assign Warrant Stock and/or Subdebt Stock to any other Person without the consent of any Company, together with all rights appurtenant thereto under Section 6.16 of the Purchase Agreement, as amended hereby, subject to (i) compliance with applicable Federal and state securities laws, (ii) the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, as amended hereby and (iii) the terms and conditions of the Senior Lender Subordination Agreement, and any such transferee shall be required to acknowledge in writing to the Companies and the Senior Lender the conditions set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) in connection with and as a condition to any such transfer.

12. Conflicts/Reaffirmation. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of the Purchase Agreement and the provisions of this Second Amendment, the provisions of this Second Amendment shall govern. The provisions of the Purchase Agreement, as amended hereby, are in full force and effect and the Agreement, as so amended, is hereby ratified and confirmed and all representations and warranties made therein remain true and correct as of the date hereof.

13. Binding. This Second Amendment shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

14. Counterparts. This Second Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall together constitute but one and the same document. This Second Amendment, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by other electronic transmission of a manual signature (by portable document format (pdf) or other method that enables the recipient to reproduce a copy of the manual signature), shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. Neither party hereto shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission as a defense to the formation of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

15. Recitals; Headings. The WHEREAS clauses at the beginning of this Second Amendment are part of this Second Amendment. The paragraph headings used in this Second Amendment are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.

16. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Second Amendment is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by reason of the operation of any law or by reason of the interpretation place thereon by any court or governmental authority, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Second Amendment shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and the affected provision shall be modified to the minimum extent permitted by law so as most fully to achieve the intention of this Second Amendment.

17. Applicable Law. This Second Amendment shall be governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of law principles to the extent such principles would cause the laws of another jurisdiction to apply to such governance, construction or enforcement.

18. Other Interpretive Provisions. The meanings of defined terms are equally applicable to the singular and plural forms of the defined terms. Whenever the context so requires, the neuter gender includes the masculine and feminine, the single number includes the plural, and vice versa, and in particular the word “Company” shall be so construed.
