NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of all of which are acknowledged, the Constituent Companies and the Required Holders agree as follows:

SECTION 1.Amendments to Note Agreement.

1.1. Section 9.8(c) of the Note Agreement shall be and hereby is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(c) The Issuer will own, directly or indirectly, free of any Liens, encumbrances or adverse claims, 100% of the Capital Stock of each Subsidiary Guarantor and each Qualified Asset Holder (other than, in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor or Qualified Asset Holder, Acceptable Subsidiary Preferred Stock, and except, in each case, as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement).

1.3. The Note Agreement shall be and hereby is amended by inserting a new Section 10.7 to read as follows:

Section 10.7 Certain Restricted Payments. The Constituent Companies will not permit any Subsidiary that has issued Acceptable Subsidiary Preferred Stock to declare or pay any dividend on, or make any payment on account of, or set apart assets for a sinking or other analogous fund for, the purchase, redemption, defeasance, retirement, cancellation, termination or other acquisition of, any of its Capital Stock, whether now or hereafter outstanding, or make any other distribution in respect thereof, whether in Cash or property or in obligations of such Subsidiary (collectively, “Restricted Payments”), directly or indirectly, except that such Subsidiaries may (a) declare and pay dividends ratably with respect to its common Equity Interests and (b) redeem Acceptable Subsidiary Preferred Stock at its liquidation preference, issue additional Acceptable Subsidiary Preferred Stock and pay other dividends and distributions to the holders of its Acceptable Subsidiary Preferred Stock, provided that the aggregate amount of such Restricted Payments made by all such Subsidiaries pursuant to this clause (b) may not exceed $5,000,000 in any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters and provided further that no Restricted Payments shall be permitted under this clause (b) if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11(a), (b), (g), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing or the Notes have been accelerated.

Although it will not be a Default or an Event of Default if the Constituent Companies fail to comply with any provision of Section 10 on or after the Execution Date and prior to the Closing, if such a failure occurs, then any of the Purchasers may elect not to purchase the Notes on the date of Closing that is specified in Section 3..
