PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and the Administrative Agent entered into that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of March 26, 2015 (as amended, restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, the “Credit Agreement;” the terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined);
