The Amendment formally increases the aggregate amount of term loans borrowed under the Credit Facility by an additional $30 million. The Company is using the additional borrowings to settle its previously disclosed Brazilian tax assessment, to settle unassessed amounts associated with tax years 2011 to 2014 and to pay any fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Amendment. The Amendment makes no changes to the repayment and other previously disclosed terms of the Credit Facility.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
