NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Holder and Maker hereby agree as follows:
1. | Amendment of the Notes. The definition of “Maturity Date” in each Note is hereby amended to read: “the later of (i) the date that is ninety-one (91) days after the date on which Security Termination (as defined in the Loan Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2012, between Maker, as borrower, the lenders party thereto and Apollo Investment Corp., as administrative agent) occurs, and (ii) July 31, 2017.” |

All terms and conditions of the Notes and the MEI Loan Agreement will remain in full force and effect except as specifically modified herein. |
6. | Representations and Warranties of Maker and Holder. Each of Maker and Holder hereby represents and warrants that it has full power and authority to execute this instrument and that it has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other actions. |
