A.    The Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent have entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of October 27, 2017 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”).

B.    The Borrower has requested that the Lenders and the Administrative Agent make certain amendments to the Credit Agreement and the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent are willing to do so, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree as follows:

Section 2.Amendments. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

4.3No Adverse Claim.

3

shall be held to be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable under the applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective in such jurisdiction only to the extent of such prohibition, invalidity or unenforceability, without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Amendment, or any other statement, instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto in such jurisdiction, or affecting the effectiveness, validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

This Amendment may be executed in several counterparts as deemed necessary or convenient, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, provided that all such counterparts shall be regarded as one and the same document, and either party to the Amendment may execute any such agreement by executing a counterpart of such agreement.
