The Credit Parties, the Lenders party hereto constituting the Requisite Lenders and the Administrative Agent desire to amend the Credit Agreement on the terms set forth herein, and accordingly, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 3. Representations and Warranties. Each Credit Party represents and warrants to each Agent and the Lenders that (a) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 of the Credit Agreement, and in each of the other Credit Documents, are true and complete in all material respects on the date hereof as if made on and as of the date hereof (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct as of such specific date), and as if each reference in said Section 4 to “this Agreement” included reference to this Agreement (it being agreed that it shall be deemed to be an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement if any of the foregoing representations and warranties shall prove to have been false in any material respect when made) and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof.

Section 4. Conditions Precedent. The amendments set forth in Section 2 hereof shall become effective, as of the date hereof, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of counterparts of this






Agreement executed by the Credit Parties and the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement constituting the Requisite Lenders.

Section 5. No Novation or Mutual Departure. The Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that there has not been, and this Agreement does not constitute or establish, a novation with respect to the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, or a mutual departure from the strict terms, provisions, and conditions thereof, other than with respect to the amendments contained in Section 2 hereof.

Section 6. Confirmation. Each Credit Party (a) confirms its obligations under the Collateral Documents, (b) confirms that its Obligations under the Credit Agreement as modified hereby are entitled to the benefits of the pledges set forth in the Collateral Documents, (c) confirms that its Obligations under the Credit Agreement as modified hereby constitute “Secured Obligations” (as defined in the Collateral Documents) and (d) agrees that the Credit Agreement as modified hereby is the Credit Agreement under and for all purposes of the Collateral Documents.

Each Guarantor (a) confirms its Guaranteed Obligations under the Credit Agreement, (b) confirms that the Guaranteed Obligations under the Credit Agreement as modified hereby are entitled to the benefits of the guarantee set forth in Section 7 of the Credit Agreement and (c) confirms that the Obligations under the Credit Agreement as modified hereby constitute “Guaranteed Obligations”. Each party, by its execution of this Agreement, hereby confirms that the Guaranteed Obligations shall remain in full force and effect.

Except as herein provided, the Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
