WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Banks party to the Existing Credit Agreement, immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment, (each such Bank, an “Existing Bank”) enter into this Amendment pursuant to which (i) the Existing Banks agree to extend the termination date of their Commitments to October 28, 2018 (the “Extended Commitment Termination Date”) and (ii) certain other provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement will be amended;

WHEREAS, each financial institution identified on Schedule 1 hereto as an “Extending Bank” (each, an “Extending Bank”) has agreed, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, to provide Commitments terminating on the Extended Commitment Termination Date in the amounts set forth on Schedule 1 hereto opposite such Extending Bank’s name under the heading “Commitment” (the “Extended Commitments”); and

WHEREAS, on the Second Amendment Effective Date (as defined in Section 7 below), the existing Commitment of each Extending Bank will be converted into an Extended Commitment;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Defined Terms; References. Unless otherwise specifically defined herein, each term used herein that is defined in the Existing Credit Agreement or in the Extended Credit Agreement, as the context shall require, has the meaning assigned to such term in the Existing Credit Agreement or in the Extended Credit Agreement, as applicable.
