Except as modified by the Amendment, the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants and agreements contained in the Credit Agreement remain in full force and effect. The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment, which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
