 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises herein contained and

ARTICLE I.  
 Definitions

 Section 1.1 Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment, to the extent not otherwise defined herein, shall

 “Applicable Margin”
means, with respect to either Type of Loan, the applicable margin (expressed in basis points) in the column below for the applicable Type of Loan and opposite the Debt Service Pricing Ratio set forth in the table below that corresponds with the

 FOURTH AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (SECOND LIEN), Page 1 







 Each Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to Tier II for the period
from the Fourth Amendment Effective Date until the first business day of the month following the day when the certificate required in connection with the monthly financial statements is delivered under Section 5.01(c) of the Revolving Credit
Agreement for each month end which corresponds with the end of each fiscal quarter end, beginning with such financial statements delivered for the month ended as of September 30, 2015. On such date, each Applicable Margin shall change in
accordance with the Debt Service Pricing Ratio set forth therein and the table set forth above. Thereafter, each Applicable Margin shall change commencing on the first business day of the month following the date when a certificate required by
Section 5.01(c) of the Revolving Credit Agreement is delivered, such change to be made in accordance with the Debt Service Pricing Ratio set forth therein and the table set forth above; provided, however, if any certificate is not received by
the date required by Section 5.01(c) of the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Applicable Margins shall revert to Tier II until delivery of the next certificate. If it is ever subsequently determined that such financial statements did not
accurately report the information necessary to determine the Debt Service Pricing Ratio and as a result thereof, the Debt Service Pricing Ratio utilized to determine the Applicable Margin was not correct and resulted in the Applicable Margin being
different than it should have been if the Debt Service Pricing Ratio was accurately determined, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank the amount that would have been due (or, alternatively, the Bank shall reimburse the Borrower for the amount of any
excess) under the terms hereof if the Debt Service Pricing Ratio was calculated correctly. A certificate of the Bank setting forth the amount or amounts (including a reasonably detailed calculation thereof) of any such difference shall be delivered
to the Borrower and the Borrower shall pay the Bank (or the Bank shall reimburse the Borrower) the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 

“Debt Service Pricing Ratio” means the “Debt Service Pricing Ratio” as defined in the Revolving
Credit Agreement. 
 “Fourth Amendment Effective Date” means October 2, 2015. 

(b) The definition of “Commitment Fee Rate” contained in Section 1.01 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety.

 (c) The following definitions contained in Section 1.01 of the Agreement are amended and restated in their entirety to
read in full as follows: 
 “Commitment” means the obligation of the Bank to make advances of funds to the
Borrower under Section 2.01 hereunder in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed $25,000,000 outstanding at any time. 

“Termination Date” means October 15, 2016. 

Section 2.2 Amendment to Section 2.01 of the Agreement. Section 2.01 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in
its entirety to read in full as follows: 
 Section 2.01 Commitments to Lend. For the period from the Effective Date
to and including the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, the Bank agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make a single advance to the Borrower in an amount not to exceed the Commitment. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, as of the first business day following the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower shall not be permitted to request further advances, and the Bank shall not be required to make further advances, in each case under this
Section 2.01. Each advance under the Loan shall be made in Dollars.
