Section 1 Revolving Commitment Increase. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be increased by $30,000,000 on the Incremental Amendment Effective Date (as defined below) (such increase in commitments, the “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase”), (b) from and after the Incremental Amendment Effective Date (i) the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be $130,000,000, (ii) the Incremental Revolving Lender shall have a Revolving Credit Commitment of $30,000,000 and (iii) the Incremental Revolving Lender shall for all purposes be deemed a Revolving Credit Lender, (c) for the avoidance of doubt, the Incremental Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit

Commitments shall be of the same Class and subject to identical terms (including, without limitation, with respect to the Applicable Rate, Maturity Date and commitment fees) as the Revolving Credit Commitments existing immediately prior to giving effect to this Amendment and (d) the Borrower has elected to use clause (a) of the definition of “Available Incremental Amount” to effectuate the increase in Revolving Credit Commitments contemplated hereby.

Furthermore, the Incremental Revolving Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Amendment on the Incremental Amendment Effective Date, (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with copies of the financial statements referred to therein and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Amendment; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement; (iii) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (iv) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Revolving Credit Lender.
