R E C I T A L S

A. The Borrower, Parent, the Administrative Agent and the financial institutions from time to time party thereto (each, a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”) are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 5, 2015 (as amended by the First Amendment (as defined below) and as further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”);

B. The Guarantors are parties to that certain Guaranty and Collateral Agreement, dated as of November 3, 2015 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Guaranty and Collateral Agreement”);

C. The Borrower and Parent have informed the Lenders that, as a result of certain events more particularly described on the Disclosure Schedule attached hereto (the “Disclosure Schedule”), the Audit Committee of Parent’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) has concluded that the previously issued audited consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in Parent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Audited Report”) should no longer be relied upon. In connection therewith, (a) the Company’s earnings releases and other financial communications for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2015 (collectively with the 2015 Audited Report, the “Prior 2015 Financial Information”) may no longer be able to be relied upon and (b) there is a possibility that certain financial information related to the prior fiscal periods of EXH should no longer be relied upon (collectively with the Prior 2015 Financial Information, the “Prior Financial Information”);

D. The Borrower and Parent have informed the Lenders that management is working to determine the adjustments required to be made to the Prior 2015 Financial Information and, upon completion of such process, will restate or modify the 2015 Audited Report and, if applicable, the other Prior Financial Information (collectively, the “Replacement Financial Information”);

E. Pursuant to Sections 8.01(b) of the Credit Agreement, Parent timely delivered a Compliance Certificate to the Administrative Agent with respect to the Parent’s compliance with

Sections 9.10(a), 9.10(b) and 9.10(c) of the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 2015 (the “Q4 2015 Compliance Certificate”);

F. A Default or Event of Default may exist or arise under Section 10.01(c) of the Credit Agreement in respect of Section 8.01(b) of the Credit Agreement due to the fact that the information contained in the Q4 2015 Compliance Certificate was based on the Prior 2015 Financial Information, which should no longer be relied upon (the “Compliance Certificate Potential Default”);

G. Pursuant to Section 8.02(a) of the Credit Agreement, Parent is required to keep its books of record and account and the books of record and account of its Consolidated Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP;

H. A Default or Event of Default may exist or arise under Section 10.01(d)(iii) of the Credit Agreement as a result of the potential failure by Parent to keep books of record and account in accordance with GAAP as required by Section 8.02(a) of the Credit Agreement in connection with the Prior Financial Information (the “Books of Record Potential Default”);

I. Parent and the Borrower have made, or have been deemed to make, from time to time the representations and warranties set forth in Section 7.11 with respect to the accuracy of all or a portion of the Prior Financial Information as and when required by the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Specified Representation”), including pursuant to Section 6.03 in connection with the making of Loans by the Lenders on the occasion of any Borrowing and the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit by the Issuing Bank (any date on which the Specified Representation is made or deemed made, a “Representation Date”);

J. A Default or Event of Default may exist or arise under Section 10.01(c) of the Credit Agreement as a result of the potential for the Specified Representation to have been false or misleading in any material respect when made or deemed made on one or more Representation Dates (the “Representation Potential Defaults”, and together with the Compliance Certificate Potential Default and the Books of Record Potential Default, the “Specified Potential Defaults”);

K. Additional related Defaults or Events of Default may exist or arise (i) under Section 10.01(c) of the Credit Agreement in the event that any representation or warranty made or deemed made as to the absence of a Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents was false or misleading in any material respect on any Representation Date, in any such case solely as a result of the existence of the Specified Potential Defaults on such Representation Date; (ii) under Section 10.01(d)(i) of the Credit Agreement due to the failure to notify the Administrative Agent of any Specified Potential Default promptly after a Responsible Officer of Parent or the Borrower obtains actual knowledge thereof, as required by Section 8.01(e) of the Credit Agreement; and (iii) under Section 10.01(d) of the Credit Agreement due to the taking of any action conditioned upon the absence of a Default or Event of Default solely due to the presence of a Specified Potential Default at such time (collectively, the “Related Potential Defaults”);

L. Section 8.01(a)(ii) of the Credit Agreement requires that Parent deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy of the quarterly report filed by Parent with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act for the Fiscal Quarter ended March 31, 2016 (the “Q1 2016 Quarterly Report”) within 30 days after the same is required to be filed with the SEC (but in any event within 60 days after the end of such Fiscal Quarter);
