Section 1.Amendment to Intercreditor Agreement.  The Intercreditor Agreement is, effective as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date (as defined below), hereby amended by replacing the definition of “ABL Obligations” in its entirety with the following:

“ABL Obligations” shall mean all “Secured Obligations” as defined in the ABL Security Agreement.

Section 3.Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single instrument.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or any other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

Each and every term, condition, obligation, covenant and agreement contained in the Intercreditor Agreement or any other Credit Document is hereby ratified and re-affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect and nothing herein can or may be construed as a novation thereof.  This Amendment shall constitute a Credit Document for purposes of the Credit Agreement and from and after the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, all references to the Intercreditor Agreement in any Credit Document and all references in the Intercreditor Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Intercreditor Agreement, shall, unless expressly provided otherwise, refer to the Intercreditor Agreement as amended by this Amendment.
