“2019 Incremental Revolving Commitments” shall have the meaning set forth in the Second Incremental Amendment.

“Existing Revolving Commitments” shall have the meaning set forth in the Second Incremental Amendment.

“Second Incremental Amendment” shall mean the Incremental Revolving Loan Amendment, dated as of March 25, 2019, by and among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the 2019 Incremental Revolving Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

“Second Incremental Amendment Date” shall have the meaning set forth in the Second Incremental Amendment.

(e) Subject to satisfaction of the Second Incremental Amendment Conditions, the Existing Revolving Commitments and the 2019 Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to be, and treated as, part of a single Class of Revolving Commitments (and any Revolving Loans made pursuant to the Existing Revolving Commitments and the 2019 Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to be, and treated as, part of a single Class of Revolving Loans).

(f) Subject to satisfaction of the Second Incremental Amendment Conditions, Section 2.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating the definition of “Revolving Commitment” as follows:

“Revolving Commitment” shall mean, with respect to each Lender, the commitment, if any, of such Lender to make Revolving Loans hereunder up to the amount set forth on Schedule 2.01 under the caption “Revolving Loan Commitment” or in the Assignment and Acceptance or Refinancing Amendment pursuant to which such Lender assumed its Revolving Commitment, as applicable, as the same may be (a) reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 2.09 and (b) reduced or increased from time to time pursuant to (i) assignments by or to such Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) a Refinancing Amendment, (iii) an Extension Amendment or (iv) an Incremental Amendment.

(h) Subject to satisfaction of the Second Incremental Amendment Conditions, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) the loans made pursuant to the 2019 Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to be “Loans” and “Revolving Loans”, (ii) each 2019 Incremental Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” and a “Revolving Lender” and (iii) the 2019 Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to be a “Incremental Revolving Commitment”, a “Revolving Commitment Increase” and a “Revolving Commitment”.

(i) For the avoidance of doubt, subject to satisfaction of the Second Incremental Amendment Conditions, the 2019 Incremental Revolving Commitments, and the Revolving

Loans made in connection therewith, shall have the same terms as the Existing Revolving Commitments and Existing Revolving Loans, as applicable, and shall bear interest and Commitment Fees, as applicable, as provided for in the Amended Credit Agreement with respect to Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments, respectively.

(b) Except as specifically amended by this Amendment, the Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

(c) The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment shall not constitute a waiver of any provision of, or operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Agent or Lender under, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

In addition, each of Holdings, the Borrower and each Guarantor hereby ratifies, confirms and reaffirms (i) the liens and security interests granted, created and perfected under the Collateral Documents and any other Loan Documents and (ii) that each of the Collateral Documents to which it is a party remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Amendment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Holdings, the Borrower and each other Guarantor further agrees (A) that any reference to “Obligations” contained in any Collateral Documents shall include, without limitation, the “Obligations” as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement (as amended by this Amendment from and after the Second Incremental Amendment Date) and (B) that the related guarantees and grants of security contained in such Collateral Documents shall include and extend to such Obligations. This Amendment shall not constitute a modification of the Credit Agreement, except as specified under Section 2 hereto, or a course of dealing with Agent or any Lender at variance with the Credit Agreement such as to require further notice by Agent or any Lender to require strict compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents in the future, except as expressly set forth herein. This Amendment contains the entire agreement among Holdings, the Borrower, the other Guarantors, and the 2019 Incremental Revolving Lenders contemplated by this Amendment. Neither Holdings nor the Borrower nor any other Guarantor has any knowledge of any challenge to Agent’s or any Lender’s claims arising under the Loan Documents or the effectiveness of the Loan Documents. Agent and Lenders reserve all rights, privileges and remedies under the Loan Documents. Nothing in this Amendment is intended, or shall be construed, to constitute a novation or an accord and satisfaction of any of the Obligations or to modify, affect or impair the perfection, priority or continuation of the security interests in, security titles to or other Liens on any Collateral for the Obligations.

10. Expenses. The Borrower and Holdings agree, jointly and severally, to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Agent and the 2019 Incremental Revolving Lenders in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Amendment, including, without limitation, all Attorney Costs of Agent, in each case, to the extent required under Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement.

11. Successors and Assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, this Amendment (and the 2019 Incremental Revolving Commitments) shall not be assignable by the 2019 Incremental Revolving Lenders prior to the Second Incremental Amendment Date

without the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Amendment should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

13. Headings. Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Amendment and shall not affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Amendment.
