Paragraph 2.6 Certain Permitted Amendments. A new Section 2.17 is hereby added to the Existing Credit Agreement to read in its entirety as follows:
“2.17 Certain Permitted Amendments.
(a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time beginning on the date that is 18 months after the Effective Date, but not more than three times during the term of this Agreement (and with no more than one such offer outstanding at any one time), make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all the Lenders to make one or more Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 30 Business Days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the
4
Administrative Agent). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.01, each Permitted Amendment shall only require the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and those Lenders that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”), and each Permitted Amendment shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders. In connection with any Loan Modification Offer, the Borrower may, at its sole option, terminate the aggregate Commitments of one or more of the Lenders that are not Accepting Lenders, and in connection therewith shall repay in full all outstanding Loans, and accrued but unpaid interest and fees (along with any amount owing pursuant to Section 3.05), at such time owing to such terminated Lender, with such termination taking effect, and any related repayment being made, upon the effectiveness of the Permitted Amendment. Additionally, to the extent the Borrower has terminated the Commitments of such Lenders, it may request any other Eligible Assignee (including any required consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and/or the Swingline Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to provide a commitment to make loans on the terms set forth in such Loan Modification Offer in an amount not to exceed the amount of the Commitments terminated pursuant to the preceding sentence. Upon the effectiveness of any Permitted Amendment and any termination of any Lender’s Commitments (and any related repayment of Loans and unpaid interest and fees) pursuant to this section and any related commitment of an Eligible Assignee with respect to such terminated Commitments, subject to the payment of applicable amounts pursuant to Section 3.05 in connection therewith, the Borrower shall be deemed to have made such borrowings and repayments of the Loans, and the Lenders shall make such adjustments of outstanding Loans between and among them, as shall be necessary to effect the reallocation of the Commitments such that, after giving effect thereto, the Loans shall be held by the Lenders (including the Eligible Assignees as the new Lenders) ratably in accordance with their Commitments.
(b) The Borrower and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Loan Modification Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as a new “class” of Loans and/or Commitments hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless the Administrative Agent, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions, officer’s and secretary’s certificates and other documentation consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date under this Agreement.
(c) “Permitted Amendments” means any or all of the following: (i) an extension of the Maturity Date applicable solely to the Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders, (ii) an increase in the interest rate with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders, (iii) the inclusion of additional fees to be payable to the Accepting Lenders in connection with the Permitted Amendment (including any upfront fees), (iv) such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan
5
Documents as shall be appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, to provide the rights and benefits of this Agreement and other Loan Documents to each new “class” of Loans and/or Commitments resulting therefrom; provided that (A) the allocation of the participation exposure with respect to any then-existing or subsequently issued or made Letter of Credit or Swingline Loan as between the Commitments of such new “class” and the Commitments of the then-existing Lenders shall be made on a pro rata basis as between the Commitments of such new “class” and the Commitments of the then-existing Lenders, (B) the Commitment to issue Letters of Credit and the Commitment to make Swingline Loans may not be extended without the prior written consent of the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, and only to the extent the Commitment to issue Letters of Credit and the Commitment to make Swingline Loans as so extended does not exceed the aggregate Commitments extended pursuant to clause (i) above, (C) payments of principal and interest on Loans (including Loans of Accepting Lenders) shall continue to be shared pro rata in accordance with Section 2.13(a), except that notwithstanding Section 2.13(a) the Loans and Commitments of the Lenders that are not Accepting Lenders may be repaid and terminated on their applicable Maturity Date, without any pro rata reduction of the Commitments and repayment of Revolving Loans of Accepting Lenders with a different Maturity Date, and (v) such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as shall be appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to the foregoing Permitted Amendments.
(d) This Section 2.17 shall supersede any provision in Section 10.01 to the contrary. Notwithstanding any reallocation into extending and non-extending “classes” in connection with a Permitted Amendment, all Loans to the Borrower under this Agreement shall rank pari-passu in right of payment.”
Paragraph 2.7 Conditions Precedent to Funding Loans for Permitted Acquisitions. Section 4.03 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and wherever reference is made to Section 4.03 in the Existing Credit Agreement such reference shall be of no force or effect after the First Amendment Effective Date.

6
Borrower, its Subsidiaries and Excluded Ventures (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.02), (c) issue Letters of Credit, (d) finance Permitted Acquisitions, Capital Expenditures and Investments by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (and acquisitions, capital expenditures and investments by Excluded Ventures) subject to compliance with this Agreement, including Sections 7.02 and 7.10, (e) fund Quarterly Distributions and other Restricted Payments to the extent permitted by Section 7.08, and (f) pay fees, costs and expenses owed pursuant to this Agreement. In no event shall the funds from any Loan or any Letter of Credit be used directly or indirectly by any Person for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes or for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of purchasing, acquiring or carrying any “margin stock” (as such term is defined in Regulation U promulgated by the Board) or to extend credit to others directly or indirectly for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock.”
