The Original Agreement, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment, the Sixth Amendment and the Seventh Amendment shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as the “Credit Agreement.”
B. Borrower has requested that Lender change the Revolving Loan Maturity Date from December 15, 2014 to January 30, 2015.
C. Lender is willing to grant Borrower’s request upon the terms and conditions set forth herein below.
NOW, THEREFORE, taking the forgoing Recitals into account, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Definitions; References; Interpretation.
(a) Unless otherwise specifically defined herein, each term used herein (including the Recitals hereof) which is defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Agreement.
(b) Each reference to "this Amendment", "hereof", "hereunder", "herein" and "hereby" and each other similar reference contained in the Agreement and each reference to "the Agreement" or "the Credit Agreement" and each other similar reference in the other Loan Documents, shall from and after December 15, 2014 refer to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
2. Change in Maturity Date. Lender hereby deletes the definition of Maturity Date in the Credit Agreement in its entirety and replaces it with the following:
“Maturity Date” means with respect to the Revolving Loan Promissory Note, January 30, 2015 (“Revolving Loan Maturity Date”), and with respect to the 2010 Term Loan Promissory Note, July 1, 2020 (“2010 Term Loan Maturity Date”).
3. Conditions of Effectiveness. The effectiveness of this Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent:
(a) Lender shall have received from Borrower a duly executed original of this Amendment and a duly executed original of the Tenth Amendment to Revolving Loan Promissory Note.
(b) There shall have been no material adverse change in the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, or properties of the Borrower.

4. Continuing Validity. Except as expressly modified herein, the terms of the original Agreement and all other related loan documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Consent by the Lender to the changes described herein does not waive Lenders’ right to strict performance of the terms and conditions contained in the Credit Agreement as amended. Nothing in this Amendment will constitute a satisfaction of the Indebtedness. It is the Lender’s intention to retain as liable parties all makers, guarantors, endorsers of the original Indebtedness, unless Lender expressly releases such party in writing. The Term Loan (which includes the 2010 Term Loan) (or any other instrument not expressly noted as affected hereby) is not affected by these presents.
