the Permitted Senior Notes” to the fifth line thereof immediately following the phrase “Permitted Unsecured Debt”, and (ii) adding the phrase “to the extent such conversion is otherwise accomplished in accordance with the

 (d) Section 1.8(e) of
the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is inserted in lieu thereof: 
 (e) Parent
Investments and Permitted KGOK Prepayments. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event any Credit Party intends at any time after the Second Amendment Effective Date and prior to the occurrence of the Permitted
Payments Fall Away Event to make (i) a Parent Investment (including any payment, prepayment or repayment (whether consisting of principal, interest (excluding non-cash interest, whether accrued or capitalized) or otherwise) of Parent
Subordinated Indebtedness but excluding any Permitted KGOK Payment) or (ii) a Permitted KGOK Prepayment which, in the case of either clause (i) or clause (ii), is otherwise permitted hereunder but the Payment Conditions
applicable at such time are not satisfied with respect to such Parent Investment or Permitted KGOK Prepayment, as the case may be (any such Parent Investment or Permitted KGOK Prepayment at such time, a “Restricted Parent Payment”),
not less than three Business 

  
 2 








 
Days prior to the date on which the applicable Credit Party intends to make such Restricted Parent Payment (such proposed payment date (which shall not be less than three Business Days after such
notice is delivered), the “Required Prepayment Date”), Borrower Representative shall (i) notify Agent of the Credit Party’s intention to make such Restricted Parent Payment and (ii) simultaneously therewith make an
irrevocable offer to prepay the Loans of each Lender in an amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Loans owing to such Lender, together with all other outstanding Obligations then owing hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents to such Lender (the “Waivable Prepayment Amount”). Agent will promptly thereafter notify each Lender of such Lender’s Waivable Prepayment Amount and such Lender’s option to refuse such amount. Each such Lender
may exercise such option to refuse by giving written notice to Borrower Representative and Agent of its election to do so on or before the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date (it being understood that any Lender which does not
notify Borrower Representative and Agent of its election to exercise such refusal option on or before the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date, not to exercise such refusal
option). On the Required Prepayment Date, the Credit Parties shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Agent the Waivable Prepayment Amount owing to each Lender, which amount shall be applied (i) in an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable
Prepayment Amount payable to those Lenders that have elected not to exercise such refusal option, to prepay the Loans and other Obligations of such Lenders in accordance with Section 1.8(g), except that any such prepayment of the
Revolving Loans shall also include a corresponding permanent reduction in or termination of, as the case may be, the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, and (ii) to the extent of any excess, to the Credit Parties for working capital and
general corporate purposes. For clarity, to the extent any Lender or Lenders exercise their respective refusal option as set forth above, Agent shall take those steps as are reasonably necessary to reallocate the remaining outstanding Revolving
Loans among such Lenders in order to account for such exercise hereunder. 
 (e) Section 1.13(r) of the Credit Agreement is
hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is inserted in lieu thereof:

 (b) Indenture. Borrowers shall have provided reasonably

(c) Reorganization. On or before the date hereof, the Borrowers shall have provided satisfactory evidence to Agent that Holdings is the
owner of (i) 100% of the Stock of EINA and (ii) at least 51.0% of the Stock of EICA. 
 (d) Use of Proceeds. Simultaneously
with the incurrence by EICA of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Senior Notes on the date hereof, the outstanding amount of the Parent Subordinated Indebtedness shall be reduced by an amount equal to $350,000,000 (which amount includes, for clarity,
accrued and unpaid interest being paid). 
 (e) Fees. On or before the date hereof, the Borrowers shall have paid to Agent
(i) for the ratable benefit of each Lender signatory hereto, a fee (the “Amendment Fee”) in an amount equal to $762,500, which Amendment Fee shall be deemed fully-earned and non-refundable as of the date hereof, and
(ii) the fees due under and to the Persons set forth in the Second Amendment Effective Date Fee Letter. 
 (f) Additional Collateral

 (i) On or before the date which is forty-five (45) days following the date hereof (or such later date
to which the Agent may agree in its discretion), the Credit Parties shall have delivered, or caused to be delivered, to Agent (A) originals of all Notes and other instruments evidencing the Parent Subordinated Indebtedness owing to Holdings and
all Intercompany Notes, and (B) evidence of the Credit Parties compliance with each of Section 4.11 of the Credit Agreement and Section 5.19 of the Credit Agreement with respect to the deposit accounts of Holdings;
provided, the Credit Parties hereby agree no deposit account of Holdings shall contain funds in excess of $100,000 until and unless the provisions of this clause (f)(i)(B) have been satisfied by the Credit Parties; and 

  
 26 








 (ii) On or before the date which is ninety (90) days following the date
hereof (or such later date to which the Agent may agree in its discretion), the Credit Parties shall have delivered, or caused to be delivered, to Agent, all in form and substance acceptable to Agent in its reasonable discretion, counterpart
originals of all additional Collateral Documents evidencing the required pledge of the additional Collateral, including the real estate, equipment, other fixed assets and Stock of the Credit Parties (other than Holdings). 

(g) Accuracy of Representations and Warranties. All of the representations and warranties made or deemed to be made in this Amendment
and under the Loan Documents shall be true and correct as of the date of this Amendment, except to the extent that any such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date (in which event such representation or warranty is true and
correct as of such earlier date). 
 (h) Expenses. Borrowers shall have paid on or before the date hereof to Agent any and all
outstanding fees and other charges owing to counsel to Agent incurred in connection with the transactions evidenced by the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any such fees incurred in connection with this
Amendment to the extent invoiced, in each case, to the extent payable by Borrowers pursuant to the Credit Agreement. 
 6. Effect;
Relationship of Parties. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be and remain in full force and effect as originally written and amended, and shall constitute the legal, valid, binding and
enforceable obligations of the Credit Parties to Agent and each Lender. On and after the date hereof, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein” or words of
like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to the “Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement shall mean and
be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment. The relationship of Agent and Lenders, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other hand, has been and shall continue to be, at all times, that of creditor and debtor and
not as joint venturers or partners. Nothing contained in this Amendment, any instrument, document or agreement delivered in connection herewith or in the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed or construed to create a
fiduciary relationship between or among the parties. 
 7. Miscellaneous. This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by facsimile or electronic mail shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of 

  
 27 








 
New York. This Amendment embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral or written
negotiations, agreements and understandings of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, except the agreements embodied in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as modified herein). Time is of the essence of this Amendment
and of the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents.

Amendment to be duly executed as of the date first above written.
