Amendment. Effective as of June 7, 2016 (the “Amendment Effective Date”), the Loan Agreement is hereby amended as follows: (a) Section 2 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition of “Revolving Period” in its entirety and replacing it with the following (modified text underlined for review purposes): “Revolving Period”: The period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of (x) September 7, 2016 and (y) if the Facility Termination Date shall have
