NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged), the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. Incorporation of Recitals. The Recitals hereto are incorporated herein by reference to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if fully set forth herein. Capitalized terms defined in the Loan Agreement shall have the same defined meanings when such terms are used herein.

2. Amendments to Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(a) The following definition is hereby added to Section 1 of the Loan Agreement in the proper alphabetical order, to read in its entirety as follows:

“Second Amendment Effective Date” shall mean the date on which the conditions precedent to the Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2013, by and among the Borrowers, the Lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent, are satisfied as determined by the Administrative Agent.

(b) The definition of “Applicable Margin” contained in Section 1 of the Loan Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

“Applicable Margin” shall mean the applicable percentage corresponding to the Funded Debt Ratio set forth below, as calculated by the Administrative Agent. The Applicable Margin on the Second Amendment Effective Date for (a) Revolving Loans that are LIBOR Loans or Index Rate Loans, and Swingline Loans that are Index Rate Loans shall be 2.10%, and (b) Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans that are Base Rate Loans shall be 2.10%. The Applicable Margin will be adjusted on a quarterly basis in accordance with the table set forth below:

2

The Applicable Margin will be adjusted to the percentage corresponding to the applicable Funded Debt Ratio in effect as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Company. The adjustment will become effective as of the first day of the calendar month next succeeding delivery to the Administrative Agent of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the last month of each fiscal quarter pursuant to Section 5.8, commencing with the fiscal quarter of the Company ending December 31, 2013. No decrease in the Applicable Margin shall become effective if, at such time, any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing until such time as such Event of Default is cured or waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and no other Events of Default have occurred and are continuing. If the Company’s financial statements are not delivered to the Administrative Agent within the specified time periods, the Applicable Margin may be increased, at the option of the Administrative Agent, or upon written notice from the Required Lenders to the Administrative Agent and the Company, to the highest applicable percentage above, to be effective from the date on which the statements were due through the date on which such financial statements are delivered to the Administrative Agent, whereupon the Applicable Margin shall again be adjusted to the applicable percentage corresponding to the Funded Debt Ratio in effect as of the last day of such fiscal quarter of the Company; provided, further, that in the event that any financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.8 is shown to be inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, and only in such case, then the Borrowers shall (i) immediately deliver to the Administrative Agent corrected financial statements for such Applicable Period, (ii) immediately determine the Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period based upon the corrected statements and (iii) promptly pay to the Administrative Agent the accrued additional interest owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.23. The provisions of this definition are in addition to rights of the Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect to Section 2.11 and Section 9.

(c) The definition of “Commitment Termination Date” contained in Section 1 of the Loan Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

“Commitment Termination Date” shall mean the earliest of (i) January 31, 2017, (ii) the date on which the Revolving Commitments are terminated pursuant to Section 2.20 and (iii) the date on which all amounts outstanding under this Agreement have been declared or have automatically become due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and any extension or extensions thereof granted by all of the Lenders.

3

(d) Clause (b) of the definition of “Permitted Acquisitions” contained in Section 1 of the Loan Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

(e) Clause (g) of the definition of “Permitted Acquisition” contained in Section 1 of the Loan Agreement is amended so that the reference to “$50,000,000” shall be a reference to “$100,000,000.”

(f) The reference to “30 days” in Section 5.8(a) is amended to be a reference to “45 days.”

(g) The reference to “30 days” in Section 5.8(g) is amended to be a reference to “45 days.”

(h) The reference to “$3,000,000” in clause (c)(ii) of Section 6.6 is amended to be a reference to “$4,000,000.”

(j) Each of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees that, after the Amendment Effective Date (as hereinafter defined), each reference in the Loan Documents to the Loan Agreement shall be deemed to be a reference to the Loan Agreement as amended hereby.

3. No Implied Waivers. Each of the Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that this Amendment shall not constitute a waiver, express or implied, of any Default, Event of Default, covenant, term or provision of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor shall it create any obligation, express or implied, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to waive, or to consent to any amendment of, any existing or future Default, Event of Default or violation of any covenant, term or provision of any Loan Document. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to require strict compliance by the Borrowers with the Loan Documents, and nothing herein shall be deemed to establish a course of action or a course of dealing with respect to requests by the Company or any Borrower for waivers or amendments of any Default, Event of Default, covenant, term or provision of any Loan Document.
