1. Amendments to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

(A) The definition of “Maximum Priority Payment Amount” in Section 1.01(b) of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the phrase “$50,000,000” therein with “$100,000,000”.

(B) The following is hereby added to the Intercreditor Agreement as Section 5.20:

---

“SECTION 5.20 Purchase Right. Without prejudice to the enforcement of the Revolving Secured Parties’ remedies, the Revolving Secured Parties agree that following (a) acceleration of the Revolving Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Documents (including the Revolving Credit Agreement) or (b) the commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (each, a “Purchase Event”), within thirty (30) days of the Purchase Event, one or more of the Additional First Lien Secured Parties may request, and the Revolving Secured Parties hereby offer the Additional First Lien Secured Parties the option, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the aggregate amount of outstanding Revolving Obligations outstanding at the time of purchase at par, plus any premium that would be applicable upon prepayment of the Revolving Obligations and accrued and unpaid interest and fees, without warranty or representation or recourse (except for representations and warranties required to be made by assigning lenders pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption (as such term is defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement)). If such right is exercised, the parties shall endeavor to close promptly thereafter but in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the request. If one or more of the Additional First Lien Secured Parties exercise such purchase right, it shall be exercised pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to each of the Revolving Agent and the Authorized Representative for the applicable Class of Additional First Lien Secured Parties. If none of the Additional First Lien Secured Parties exercise such right, the Revolving Secured Parties shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 5.20 for such Purchase Event and may take any further actions in their sole discretion in accordance with the Revolving Credit Documents and this Agreement.”

2. Conditions to Effectiveness. This Amendment shall not become effective unless and until this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Collateral Agent, the Revolving Agent, the Term Loan Agent, the Borrower and the Grantors.

The First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, as specifically amended by this Amendment, is and shall continue to be in full force and effect and is hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed. The amendments contained herein shall not be construed as amendments or waivers of any other provision of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or for any purpose except as expressly set forth herein or a consent to any further or future action on the part of any of the parties to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement that would require the waiver or consent of any of the other parties to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.
