Preliminary Statements
A.    The Borrowers, the Guarantors, the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent are parties to a certain Amended and Restated Multicurrency Credit Agreement, dated effective as of December 31, 2015 (as the same may be amended, modified, restated or supplemented from time to time pursuant to the terms thereof, the “Credit Agreement”). All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings herein as such terms have in the Credit Agreement.
B.    The Borrowers and the Lenders have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement, and the Lender has agreed to waive certain provisions of the Credit Agreement for periods ending prior to the date hereof, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment.
Now, Therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

“EBITDA” means, with reference to any period, Net Income for such period (computed without giving effect to any non-cash adjustments (positive or negative) relating to the change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities or indemnification receivables for the relevant period or any unrealized non‑cash gains and losses with respect to hedging obligations of the type permitted by Section 7.1(c) hereof) plus (a) all amounts deducted in arriving at such Net Income amount in respect of (i) Interest Expense for such period, (ii) federal, state, provincial, and local income taxes for such period, (iii) all amounts charged in accordance with GAAP for depreciation of fixed





assets and amortization of intangible assets during such period, (iv) net amortization expense relating to below market real estate leases for such period, (v) amortization of inventory fair value adjustment for such period directly attributable to step-up in inventory values required under GAAP’s purchase accounting rules for such period, (vi) non‑cash stock compensation expense for such period, (vii) goodwill impairment charges aggregating not more than $43,300,000 for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016, (viii) other non-cash charges for the relevant period approved in writing by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, and (ix) for periods ending on or before December 31, 2016, third-party professional fees for such period as reasonably determined by U.S. Borrower in good faith and established to the reasonable satisfaction of, and subject to the approval of, Administrative Agent, minus (b) the sum of (i) all tax credits for such period, (ii) all cash payments made during such period in respect of stock compensation expensed in a prior period; and (iii) prior period income adjustment of $2,063,000 in the aggregate for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Section 5.
Miscellaneous.

Reference to this specific Amendment need not be made in the Credit Agreement, the Notes, or any other instrument or document executed in connection therewith, or in any certificate, letter or communication issued or made pursuant to or with respect to the Credit Agreement, any reference in any of such items to the Credit Agreement being sufficient to refer to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby. This Amendment is not a novation nor is it to be construed as a release, waiver or modification of any of the terms, conditions, representations, warranties, covenants, rights or remedies set forth in the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except as specifically set forth herein. Without limiting the foregoing, the Loan Parties agree to comply with all of the terms, conditions, and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such compliance is irreconcilably inconsistent with the express provisions of this Amendment.
