Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement.

The parties hereto agree that subclause (b) of the definition of “Change of Control” in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is amended to read as follows:

(b)    during any period of 24 consecutive months, a majority of the members of the board of directors or other equivalent governing body of the Borrower cease to be composed of individuals (i) who were members of that board or equivalent governing body on the first day of such period, (ii) whose election or nomination to that board or equivalent governing body was approved by individuals referred to in clause (i) above constituting at the time of such election or nomination at least a majority of that board or equivalent governing body or (iii) whose election or nomination to that board or other equivalent governing body was approved by individuals referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above constituting at the time of such election or nomination at least a majority of that board or equivalent governing body.

The Credit Agreement remains in full force and effect as modified to the extent set forth herein. This letter agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this letter by facsimile or other secure electronic format (.pdf) shall be effective as an original. This letter agreement shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of counterparts of this letter agreement executed by the Loan Parties and the Required Lenders. This letter agreement is a Loan Document.

This letter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
