The Company has requested that the Holders agree to certain amendments to the Existing Note Purchase Agreement. The undersigned Holders have agreed to such amendments on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

In consideration of the premises and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the Company and the undersigned Holders agree as follows:

The Note Purchase Agreement, this Amendment Agreement and the Notes each constitute the legal, valid, and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

2.3 Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments, etc. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Amendment Agreement will not (a) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of the Company or any Subsidiary under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, corporate charter or by-laws, or any other Material agreement, lease, or instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or by which the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, (b) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary or (c) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary.
