(b) Amendment to Section 1.1 of the First Lien Credit Agreement.  Section 1.1 of the First Lien Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new defined terms in alphabetical order:

Equity Interests” means capital stock and all warrants, options or other rights to acquire capital stock (but excluding any debt security that is convertible into, or exchangeable for, capital stock).
 
Fair Market Value” means the value that would be paid by a willing buyer to an unaffiliated willing seller in a transaction not involving distress or necessity of either party, as such price is determined in good faith by the Borrower.
