WHEREAS, the Loan Parties have requested that the Lenders amend the definition of “Change of Control” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement in order to eliminate the so-called “dead hand” provision thereof;

WHEREAS, the Lenders (by act of the Required Lenders) have agreed to provide such requested amendment subject to the terms and conditions herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

6. Representations and Warranties; No Default. Each Loan Party hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Swingline Lender and the L/C Issuer that, after giving effect to this Amendment, (a) the representations and warranties of each Loan Party contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or which are contained in any document furnished at any time under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, are true and correct in all material respects (other than any representation and warranty that is expressly qualified by materiality, in which case such representation and warranty is true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (other than any representation and warranty that is expressly qualified by materiality, in which case such representation and warranty is true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date and (b) no Default or Event of Default exists.


7. Reaffirmation of Obligations.

8. Reaffirmation of Security Interests. Each Loan Party (a) affirms that each of the Liens granted in or pursuant to the Loan Documents is valid and subsisting and (b) agrees that this Amendment and all documents, agreements and instruments executed in connection with this Amendment do not in any manner impair or otherwise adversely affect any of the Liens granted in or pursuant to the Loan Documents.

9. No Other Changes. Except as modified hereby, all of the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

10. Counterparts; Delivery. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Amendment to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by facsimile or form of electronic attachment (e.g., “.pdf”) shall be effective as such party’s original executed counterpart and shall constitute a representation that such party’s original executed counterpart will be delivered.

11. Fees and Expenses. The Loan Parties agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment, including without limitation the reasonable fees and expenses of Moore & Van Allen, PLLC, counsel to the Administrative Agent.
