NOW THEREFOR, for good and adequate consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, PHI, the Subsidiary Guarantors and Bank do hereby amend the Loan Agreement as follows:

1. As used herein, capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Agreement.

2. Section A(1) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

A. THE LOAN OR LOANS. Provided PHI timely performs all obligations in favor of Bank contained in this Agreement and in any other agreement, whether now existing or hereafter arising:

(1) Bank shall make available to PHI a secured revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Line of Credit” or the “Loan”) in the principal amount of ONE HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION AND NO/100 ($150,000,000.00) DOLLARS, that may be drawn upon by PHI on any business day of Bank during the period hereof until and including October 1, 2017 on at least one day’s telephonic notice to Bank. The Revolving Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a commercial note, payable to Bank (the “Note”) and shall contain additional terms and conditions and be identified with this Agreement.

3. In connection with the foregoing and only in connection with the foregoing, the Agreement is hereby amended, but in all other respects all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement and all collateral documents, security agreements and guaranties (the “Collateral Documents”) remain unaffected. PHI agrees that this Third Amendment amends, modifies and confirms the Agreement but is not a novation of any of its terms.

4. PHI and the Subsidiary Guarantors acknowledge and agree that this Third Amendment shall not constitute a waiver of any default(s) under the Agreement, the Collateral Documents or any documents executed in connection therewith, all of Bank’s rights and remedies being preserved and maintained. As of the Effective Date, PHI and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby represent and warrant to Bank that (i) no default has occurred under the Agreement and there has not occurred any condition, event or act which constitutes, or with notice or lapse of time (or both) would constitute, a Default under the Agreement, (ii) all representations and warranties contained in the Agreement remain true and correct in all material respects, and (iii) all covenants contained in the Agreement have been timely and completely performed, except as same may have been waived in writing by Bank. PHI further acknowledges that the consents of the Bank to the acts of PHI, as provided herein, are conditioned upon such acts not creating a Default under the Agreement, as amended hereby. PHI and the Subsidiary Guarantors further acknowledge that the Collateral Documents, including but not limited to the Subsidiary Guaranties, remain in full force and effect and continue to secure the payment and performance of all obligations of PHI to Bank, including but not limited to the Revolving Line of Credit, whether presenting existing or in the future, in accordance with their terms.

5. This Third Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, and it shall not be necessary that the signatures of all parties hereto be contained on any one counterpart hereof; each counterpart shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
