WHEREAS, the Borrowers have asked the Required Lenders to amend the Existing ABL Credit Agreement as set forth herein, and the Agent (at the direction of and on behalf of the Required Lenders) and the Loan Parties hereby agree to amend such provisions as described, and on the terms set forth, herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements contained herein, as well as other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
