Modification Agreements
Summary
This agreement is a second amendment to the existing credit agreement between Panavision Inc., several lenders, and JPMorgan Chase Bank as administrative agent. It modifies certain provisions of the original credit agreement, particularly regarding restricted payments and the exchange of capital stock. The amendment also provides lender consent for a name change of a related entity. The amendment becomes effective once all parties sign, and Panavision affirms that it is legally binding and that no default exists. All other terms of the original credit agreement remain in effect.
