Subject to the terms and conditions herein, the Borrowers, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties party hereto have agreed to amend the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.

SECTION 1. Amendments to Existing Revolving Credit Agreement
. The Existing Revolving Credit Agreement is, upon the occurrence of the Amendment Effective Date (as defined in Section 2 below), hereby amended as follows:
(i)Section 1.01 of the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition of “CDOR” in its entirety.

(xiii)Subsection (h) of the definition of “Market Disruption Event” in Section 1.01 of the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a)“(I)” in the sentence before clause (A) is hereby deleted.
