1.          Trio acknowledges and agrees that, effective upon the date (the “Effective Date”) on which there shall have occurred both (a) consummation of the Trio Merger and (b) receipt by the Administrative Agent of a copy of this Agreement, duly executed by Trio, all references in the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents to the term “Parent” shall be deemed, with respect to all periods from and after the Effective Date, to include Trio.

All references in the Credit Agreement, and in the other Credit Documents to which Parent is a party, to the term “Guarantor” or “Guarantors”, except for references to any Subsidiary Guarantor, shall be deemed to include Trio, effective upon the Effective Date. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Trio hereby repeats and reaffirms all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of Parent contained in the Guaranty, the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which Parent is a party with respect to all periods from and after the Effective Date, except that it is acknowledged that (a) pursuant to the Trio Merger, Parent is merging with and into Merger Sub, and Merger Sub will be the surviving entity obligated as a Credit Party under the Credit Documents to which Parent is a party, and (b) Merger Sub and Trio are changing their names in connection with the Trio Merger, as described in the recitals above.
