The Thermax JV Stock is currently owned by a Guarantor, and the Borrower intends to transfer the Thermax JV Stock to a Subsidiary of the Borrower that is not a Guarantor, which transfer may involve several intermediate transfers to other Subsidiaries of the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement (and in addition to the baskets set forth in Sections 7.03, 7.04 and 7.05 thereof), the Lenders party hereto hereby consent to the transfer, conveyance, distribution or other disposition of the Thermax JV Stock among the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, any Investment of such Thermax JV Stock in one or more Subsidiaries of the Borrower so long as (a) immediately after giving effect to all such transfers, conveyances, distributions or other dispositions or Investments of the Thermax JV Stock, the aggregate amount of Thermax JV Investments at such time (and without limiting later Thermax JV Investments permitted to be made by Section 7.03(i) of the Credit Agreement) does not exceed $20,000,000, and (b) the Thermax JV Stock is not transferred to any Person that is not the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower in connection with such transfers, conveyances, distributions or other dispositions or Investments.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3, the foregoing consent shall automatically cease to be effective when the amount of Thermax JV Investments exceeds $20,000,000, if such transfers, conveyances, distributions or other dispositions of the Thermax JV Stock have not been completed at such time.

Section 7. Counterparts, Etc. This Amendment and the Guarantor Acknowledgment attached hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment and the Guarantor Acknowledgment attached hereto by telecopier or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.

Section 8. Governing Law, Etc. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

(b) This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by such Person and constitutes such Person’s legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
