STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

 

Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 17, 2007 (as previously amended, restated, or modified, the “Credit Facility”) by and among the Borrower, the Lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), and Thermo Funding Company LLC, and the Lenders agreed to extend certain Revolving Credit Loans in the aggregate principal amount of not more than $150,000,000 to the Borrower pursuant to the terms thereof.

 

The Borrower has requested, and the Lenders have agreed, to extend certain additional credit facilities to the Borrower on the terms and conditions of this First Amendment.

 

As of the date hereof, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under the Existing Facility have agreed to increase the funds available to the Borrower under the Revolving Credit Commitment from $50,000,000 to $100,000,000, thereby increasing the aggregate principal amount available to Borrower under the Credit Facility, as amended by this First Amendment, from $150,000,000 to $200,000,000.
