WHEREAS, Borrower and Time Warner, constituting the Sole Lender under the Existing Revolving Loan Credit Agreement as of the date hereof, have agreed to effect an amendment to the Existing Revolving Loan Credit Agreement as set forth herein in order to introduce conforming changes from the Reimbursement Agreement Amendment; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein (including in the preamble and the recitals hereto) have the meanings assigned to them in the Existing Revolving Loan Credit Agreement.
SECTION 2.     Amendment of Revolving Loan Credit Agreement.

A.
Section 1.01 of the Revolving Loan Credit Agreement shall be amended by:
(i) inserting the following new defined terms in appropriate alphabetical order:

Borrower represents and warrants that since December 31, 2016, there has been no material adverse change in the business, assets, operations or financial condition of Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
