The foregoing is only a summary of the material terms of the Credit Agreement Amendment and does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement Amendment, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
