NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: Section 1.

(xiv) of clause (a) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” (which amounts under such sub-clauses shall be deemed to be zero), in each case, for purposes of calculating the Total Net Leverage Ratio for the Fiscal Quarter ending on December 28, 2019 and each Fiscal Quarter ending thereafter, and (C) the Borrower shall no longer be permitted to exercise the cure rights set forth in Section 8.3 hereof, and (ii) in the event that the Borrower has made voluntary prepayments of the Loans under Section 2.9 and/or mandatory prepayments of the Loans under Section 2.10(a) or 2.10(c) in an aggregate principal amount of at least $50,925,000 during the period commencing on the Third Amendment Effective Date and ending on March 27, 2020, the principal amount of the Loans included in Consolidated Total Debt for purposes of calculating the Total Net Leverage Ratio for the Fiscal Quarter ending December 28, 2019 shall be deemed to be the principal amount of the Loans outstanding as of March 27, 2020.” (b) Section 2.10(a) of the Credit Agreement shall be restated in its entirety as follows: “(a) Asset Sales. Not later than the fifth Business Day following the date of receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Net Asset Sale Proceeds (other than from (x) the sale of any Specified Properties after the Third Amendment Effective Date and (y) Permitted Leaseback Transactions), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Asset Sale Proceeds, together with accrued interest thereon and any premium payable pursuant to Section 2.11; provided that (i) to the extent any such Net Asset Sale Proceeds constitute proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral (including the portion of Net Asset Sale Proceeds constituting proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral from an Asset Sale of the Equity Interests of any Credit Party that owns ABL Priority Collateral), then the mandatory prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) with respect to Net Asset Sale Proceeds constituting proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral shall be in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds minus the amount of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds that are then required to be used to prepay Indebtedness under the ABL Credit Agreement, and (ii) (A) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (B) to the extent that (x) such Net Asset Sale Proceeds consist of proceeds of the sale of Specified Properties prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date, or (y) the Net Asset Sale Proceeds (other than from the sale of any Specified Properties) reinvested in accordance with this Section 2.10(a) from the Closing Date through the applicable date of determination, together with the aggregate amount of Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds 2
reinvested in accordance with Section 2.10(b) and Net Extraordinary Receipts reinvested in accordance with Section 2.10(f), do not exceed $15,000,000 in the aggregate, then, in each case, Borrower shall have the option, directly or through one or more of its Subsidiaries, to invest (or commit to invest) all or a portion of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds in long-term productive assets of the general type used in the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries within twelve (12) months of receipt thereof (or, if committed to be reinvested within such twelve (12) month period, within six (6) months of such twelve (12) month period); provided that with respect to any Net Asset Sale Proceeds from the sale of any Specified Property prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date, such permitted reinvestment period shall end on March 26, 2020. For the avoidance of doubt, any Net Asset Sale Proceeds not so invested during such twelve (12) month period (or, (x) in the case of commitments, within six (6) months of such twelve (12) month period and (y) in the case of Net Asset Sale Proceeds from the sale of any applicable Specified Property, by March 26, 2020) shall be required to be used to make a mandatory prepayment of the Loans on the Business Day after such period ends. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10(a), the Net Asset Sale Proceeds of (I) any Specified Property sold after the Third Amendment Effective Date and (II) any Permitted Leaseback Transaction shall be excluded from the requirements of this Section 2.10(a) and shall instead be required to repay the Loans and applied in accordance with Section 2.10(c) of this Agreement.” (c) Section 2.10(c) of the Credit Agreement shall be restated in its entirety as follows: “(c) Proceeds of Sale and Leaseback Transaction; Specified Properties. Not later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of the Net Asset Sale Proceeds of any Permitted Leaseback Transaction or, to the extent sold after the Third Amendment Effective Date, any Specified Property, the Borrower shall apply such Net Asset Sale Proceeds as follows: (i) in the case of 2019 Leaseback Transactions made prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date, (A) the first $30,000,000 of Net Asset Sale Proceeds for all 2019 Leaseback Transactions shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, for application to the prepayment of the principal amount of the Loans, together with accrued interest thereon and the Prepayment Premium payable pursuant to Section 2.11; and (B) thereafter, any remaining Net Asset Sale Proceeds in an aggregate amount in 3
excess of $30,000,000 for all 2019 Leaseback Transactions, after giving effect to the payments specified in the foregoing clause (i)(A), shall be applied to repay Indebtedness under the ABL Credit Agreement; (ii) all Net Asset Sale Proceeds from Other Leaseback Transactions shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, for application to the prepayment of the principal amount of the Loans, together with accrued interest thereon and any Prepayment Premium applicable thereto; and (iii) all Net Asset Sale Proceeds from Specified Properties sold after the Third Amendment Effective Date shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, for application to the prepayment of the principal amount of the Loans, together with accrued interest thereon and any Prepayment Premium applicable thereto; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the first $10,000,000 of Net Asset Sale Proceeds from Specified Properties received by the Borrower after March 27, 2020 (A) if, as of the date of receipt of any such Net Asset Sale Proceeds, the Specified Properties Payment Threshold is not satisfied, 100% of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds shall be used to repay Indebtedness under the ABL Credit Agreement, and (B) if, as of the date of receipt of any such Net Asset Sale Proceeds, the Specified Properties Payment Threshold is satisfied, 50% of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds shall be used to repay Indebtedness under the ABL Credit Agreement, with the remainder to be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, for application to the prepayment of the principal amount of the Loans, together with accrued interest thereon and any Prepayment Premium applicable thereto (and thereafter all such Net Asset Sale Proceeds in excess of $10,000,000 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, for application to the prepayment of the principal amount of the Loans, together with accrued interest thereon and any Prepayment Premium applicable thereto).” (d) Clause (D) of Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement shall be restated in its entirety as follows: “(D) for the first $50,925,000 of voluntary prepayments of the Loans under Section 2.9 and/or mandatory prepayments of the Loans under Section 2.10(a) or 2.10(c) made by 4
Borrower during the period commencing on the Third Amendment Effective Date and ending on March 27, 2020, the Applicable Make- Whole Amount component of the Prepayment Premium shall not apply to such prepayments and such prepayments will be made together with a premium equal to 3.00% of the amount prepaid in lieu of any other Prepayment Premium.” Section 3.
