A.           On August 9, 2012, Borrowers, Guarantors, Lenders and Administrative Agent entered into a Credit Agreement to reflect certain financing arrangements between the parties thereto (as amended, modified, renewed, extended, replaced or substituted from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).  The Credit Agreement and all other documents, instruments, and agreements executed in connection therewith are collectively referred to herein as the “Existing Financing Agreements.”  All capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given to them in the Credit Agreement.

 

B.           The Borrowers have requested that Administrative Agent and Lenders amend certain terms and provisions contained in the Credit Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment.

 

NOW THEREFORE, with the foregoing background hereinafter deemed incorporated by reference herein and made part hereof, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, promise and agree as follows:

 

1.           Amendments.  Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:
