In connection with the implementation of the Merger and as a condition precedent to a $360 million senior secured credit facility supporting the Merger, we hereby request that an amendment be made to the Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the amendments set forth below under the heading “Amendments to the Credit Agreement” will be made.
