(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.”
Section 2.Specified Consent. The Borrower has informed the Administrative Agent that it intends to dispose of all of the Equity Interests of Trinity Highway Products, LLC (“THP”), a Restricted Subsidiary which is currently a Subsidiary Guarantor, and the net cash proceeds of such disposition are currently contemplated to be used for purposes not prohibited by the Credit Agreement (the “THP Disposition”). Because the book value of THP exceeds five percent (5%) of the Borrower’s consolidated current assets (excluding the current assets of Unrestricted Subsidiaries) and the net cash proceeds of the THP Disposition may not be used to acquire assets or for other purposes useful in the Borrower's business or otherwise be reinvested during the Reinvestment Period, the THP Disposition is prohibited by Section 6.03(a)(v) of the Credit Agreement if the net cash proceeds are not reinvested during the Reinvestment Period.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, any limitations set forth in Section 6.03 of the Credit Agreement), upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender party hereto hereby:
(a)consents to the THP Disposition;
(b)agrees that the Borrower is not required to use the net cash proceeds from the THP Disposition (i) to reinvest in other assets, (ii) for other purposes useful in the Borrower's business or (iii) to prepay any Indebtedness (including the Obligations); and
(c)agrees that, upon written confirmation from the Borrower that the THP Disposition has been consummated, THP shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty as otherwise provided by Section 9.14 of the Credit Agreement.
Upon written confirmation from the Borrower that the THP Disposition has been consummated, the Administrative Agent agrees to take such additional steps and to execute such additional documents as the Borrower may reasonably request from time to time to evidence the release of THP from the Subsidiary Guaranty.
Section 3.Amendment Effective Date; Conditions Precedent. This Amendment shall become effective on the date on which the following conditions have been satisfied or waived (the “Amendment No. 3 Effective Date”):
(a)the Administrative Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Amendment executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each of the Required Lenders;

(including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of Sidley Austin LLP, counsel to the Administrative Agent); and
(d)the Administrative Agent shall have received such other documents, instruments and agreements as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

(c)Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment and after giving effect hereto, the Borrower hereby reaffirms all covenants and other agreements set forth in the Credit Agreement as modified hereby.
Section 5.Reference to the Effect on the Credit Agreement.
(a)Upon the effectiveness of Section 1 hereof, on and after the date hereof, each reference in the Credit Agreement (including any reference therein to “this Credit Agreement,” “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein” or words of like import referring thereto) or in any other Loan Document shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as modified hereby.
(b)Except as specifically modified above (and except with respect to the matters covered by the Specified Consent), the Credit Agreement and all other documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith shall remain in full force and effect, and are hereby ratified and confirmed.
(c)Except as expressly set forth herein (including with respect to the Specified Consent), the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by telecopy, e-mailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.
