WHEREAS, pursuant to the request of the Parent Guarantor, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby wish to grant to the Parent Guarantor a further extension of certain of the Extended Reporting Dates, on the terms and subject to the conditions described herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement or the May 2015 Waiver, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereby agree that, for purposes of the calendar quarter ending in June 2015, (a) the Borrower shall deliver quarterly financials for such quarter in accordance with Section 5.03(c) of the Credit Agreement not later than September 30, 2015, and (b) the Borrower shall deliver the quarterly Borrowing Base Certificate for such quarter in accordance with clause (i) of Section 5.03(d) of the Credit Agreement not later than September 30, 2015.

2.          In consideration of the waiver extension granted in Section 1 above, and notwithstanding any provision in the Credit Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower agrees as follows:

(a)         From and after the date of the execution and delivery of this Waiver by the Borrower (the “Execution Date”), until all Lenders otherwise agree, the Borrower will not request any Advance or any issuance of a Letter of Credit under Article II of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that Letter of Credit Advances with respect to any Letters of Credit that have been issued and remain outstanding as of the Execution Date shall be permitted.

(b)        If on or prior to September 30, 2015 the Parent Guarantor (or a Subsidiary thereof) has not entered into a purchase agreement or a merger agreement setting forth the terms and conditions whereby all of the Equity Interests in the Parent Guarantor, or all or substantially all of the assets of the Parent Guarantor, would be sold (a “Sale Agreement”) pursuant to the proposed transaction disclosed by the Parent Guarantor during its earnings call held on July 16, 2015 (the “Proposed Sale Transaction”) to the purchaser (or a subsidiary thereof) with whom the Parent Guarantor has been discussing the Proposed Sale Transaction, or an alternative purchaser approved by the Board of Directors of the Parent Guarantor (in either case, the “Proposed Purchaser”), then commencing on September 30, 2015 and on the thirtieth (30^th) day of each calendar month thereafter, the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate amount of the Term Loan, the Revolving Credit Advances comprising part of the same Borrowings, the Swing Line Advances and the Letter of Credit Advances in an aggregate amount equal to all of the Unrestricted Cash (as defined below), if any, of the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries on such date. To the extent that the Unrestricted Cash of the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries on such date exceeds the aggregate outstanding amount of the Term Loan, the Revolving Credit Advances, the Swing Line Advances and the Letter of Credit Advances, then the Borrower shall make a deposit into the L/C Cash Collateral Account in an amount equal to such excess. Amounts prepaid pursuant to this clause (b) shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.06(b)(iii) of the Loan Agreement and shall not be refundable once paid. The Borrower’s obligation to make such prepayments shall terminate on the date that a Sale Agreement is entered into by the Parent Guarantor (or a Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor) and the Proposed Purchaser in connection with the Proposed Sale Transaction. For purposes hereof, “Unrestricted Cash” means, on any date of determination, the difference (if positive) of (i) Cash and Cash Equivalents that are not on such date subject to any pledge, lien or control agreement, less the (ii) the sum of (x) $15,000,000 and (y) amounts that as of such date have been placed with third parties as deposits or security for contractual obligations.

(c)        If on or prior to November 15, 2015 the Parent Guarantor (or a Subsidiary thereof) has not entered into a Sale Agreement, then the Borrower and the Parent Guarantor will provide (or cause to be provided) on such date to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Parties, first priority perfected security interests in the Equity Interests in each Subsidiary Guarantor to secure the Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, pursuant to pledge and security agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, together with opinions of counsel to the Loan Parties with respect to the enforceability of such pledge agreements and the perfection of the security interests created thereby, in each case form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

3.          For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto confirm that the Relief Period (as defined in the Second Amendment) includes the Test Date occurring on September 30, 2015, notwithstanding that the financial reports with respect to such Test Date shall be delivered after such date pursuant to Section 5.03(c) of the Credit Agreement.

4.          The Borrower agrees that it shall pay to the Administrative Agent a waiver fee, due and payable on the earlier of (a) the date of closing of the Proposed Sale Transaction and (b) December 31, 2015, equal to 0.10% of the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Advances, as of the date hereof, of those Lenders that have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent a signature page to this Waiver, which fee shall be for the ratable benefit of such Lenders.

5.          This Waiver shall constitute one of the Loan Documents.

6.          Each Loan Party hereby represents and warrants that as of the date hereof and after giving effect to this Waiver, (x) the representations and warranties contained in each Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date) and (y) to the best of its knowledge, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and no Event of Default will occur as a result of the execution, delivery and performance by the Loan Parties of this Waiver.

7.          Except as expressly and specifically provided in Section 1 above of this Waiver, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Waiver shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Initial Lenders, the Administrative Agent, Citibank or the Initial Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents, or any other documents, instruments or agreement executed and/or delivered in connection therewith.

8.          Each Loan Party acknowledges that, except as expressly and specifically provided in this Waiver, nothing herein shall be construed to waive any covenant (including financial) or other provision of the Loan Documents, or obligation of such Loan Party under any Loan Document.

9.          Each Loan Party hereby ratifies and confirms as of the date hereof that all of the terms, covenants, indemnifications and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are and shall remain in full force and effect without change except as otherwise expressly waived by this Waiver.

10.        This Waiver shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

11.        This Waiver may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Waiver by facsimile, .pdf or other electronic means of communication shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Waiver.
