R E C I T A L S:

WHEREAS, the Borrower, Holdings, the Lender and U.S. Bank National Association, as Disbursing Agent and Collateral Agent, are parties to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2020 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Lender consent to the delivery of (i) the budget and other documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(d) of the Credit Agreement and (ii) an updated Perfection Certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.02(k) of the Credit Agreement, in each case no later than February 28, 2021, and that the Lender make certain other modifications to the Credit Agreement as contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Capitalized Terms. All capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment.

Section 2. Amendment to the Credit Agreement. Subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 below, upon the Effective Date (as hereinafter defined), Section 5.01(d)(ii) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

“(ii) each fiscal year in the five years immediately following such fiscal year prepared in summary form, in each case, of Holdings, the Borrower and their Subsidiaries, with appropriate presentation and discussion in reasonable detail of the principal assumptions upon which such budget is based, accompanied by a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that such budget is a reasonable estimate for the period covered thereby.”

Section 3. Consent. The Lender hereby consents to the delivery by the Borrower of (i) the budget and other documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(d) of the Credit Agreement and (ii) an updated Perfection Certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.02(k) of the Credit Agreement, in each case no later than February 28, 2021, and agrees that their delivery on or before such date will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under the terms of the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, under Section 7.01(d).

Section 4. No Other Amendments, Consents or Waivers. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Amendment shall not operate as a consent to any other action by any Loan Party or waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Lender under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Except as amended hereby, the text of the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect, and each of the Borrower and Holdings hereby ratifies and confirms its obligations thereunder, including, without limitation, the Liens on the Collateral granted by the Borrower and Holdings to the Collateral Agent. This Amendment shall not constitute a modification of the Credit Agreement or a course of dealing with the Lender at variance with the Credit Agreement such as to require further notice by the Lender to require strict compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents in the future. Each of the Borrower and Holdings acknowledges and expressly agrees that the Lender reserves the right to, and does in fact, require strict compliance with all terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(iv) result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon or with respect to any of the property of the Borrower or Holdings.

(b)No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or regulatory body or any other third party is required for the due execution, delivery or performance by the Borrower or Holdings of this Amendment.

(c)This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and Holdings, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower and Holdings, enforceable against the Borrower and Holdings in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

Section 12. Modification. This Amendment may not be amended, waived or modified in any manner without the written consent of the party against whom the amendment, waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.

Section 13. No Novation. This Amendment is not intended by the parties to be, and shall not be construed to be, a novation of the Credit Agreement or an accord and satisfaction in regard thereto.
