Pursuant to  Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement and Section 2.11(c) of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree to amend the Credit Agreement in accordance with the following Administrative Decision (the “Amendment”):

2.Effectiveness. The Amendment set forth herein shall be effective only in the specific instance described herein and for the specific purpose for which it was given, and nothing herein shall be construed to limit or bar any rights or remedies of any First Lien Secured Party. For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no other change, amendment, consent 









or waiver with respect to the terms and provisions of any other Financing Document, Material Contract or Additional Material Contract is intended or contemplated hereby (which terms and provisions remain unchanged and in full force  and effect). Nothing herein shall be construed as or deemed to be (a) a waiver or consent by the Requisite Lenders of any past, present or future breach or non-compliance with any terms or provisions contained in any Financing Document, Material Contract or Additional Material Contract or (b) a guide to, or an intent or indication of, future actions or decisions by any First Lien Secured Party.


3.Governing Law. This Amendment shall for all purposes be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States of America without any reference to the conflict of law principles thereof (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law).


4.Financing Document. This Amendment constitutes a Financing Document as such term is defined in, and for purposes of, the Credit Agreement.


5.Headings. All headings in this Amendment are included only for convenience and ease of reference and shall not be considered in the construction and interpretation of any provision hereof.
