WHEREAS, reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of August 2, 2017, by and among the Borrower, each of the Lenders that is a party thereto from time to time, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 6.12(b) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower is not permitted to allow the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio as of the end of any fiscal quarter of the Borrower to be less than 5.00 to 1.00, and the failure to do so is a Default under the Credit Agreement and an Event of Default under Section 7.01(e) of the Credit Agreement if such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 or more days after notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower (such Default and Event of Default, the “Specified Defaults”);

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that, subject to the terms and conditions herein, the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the Lenders waive the Specified Defaults and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth herein, the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the Required Lenders have agreed to waive the Specified Defaults;

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that, subject to the terms and conditions herein, the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and the Lenders consent to the amendment of the Credit Agreement as of the Effective Date (defined below) as set forth herein; and

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Definitions. All capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, herein, including in the introductory and recital paragraphs above, shall have the meanings assigned thereto in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement.

(b)the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 below shall be true and correct in all respects.

SECTION 4. Amendment to Credit Agreement. As of the Effective Date, the parties hereby agree that Section 6.12(b) of the Credit Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:

“(b)    Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio. The Borrower will not permit the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio as of the end of any fiscal quarter of the Borrower to be less than 5.00 to 1.00; provided that if as of the end of any fiscal quarter the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio is less than the ratio set forth above, then the Borrower shall nevertheless be deemed to be in compliance with this Section 6.12(b) if, for the period until such time that the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio is again equal to or greater than the ratio set forth above as of the end of the relevant fiscal quarter (such period being the “Interest Coverage Non-Compliance Period”), at all times (i) the sum of, without duplication, (A) amounts held in the Borrower’s Controlled Accounts, which Controlled Accounts are free and clear of all Liens other than Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent, plus (B) the Borrower’s Consolidated Net Unencumbered Liquid Assets, equals or exceeds $75,000,000, and (ii) the Total Outstandings do not exceed the amounts held in such Controlled Accounts, in the aggregate; provided further that at no time during the Interest Coverage Non-Compliance Period will the Borrower request or be permitted to make any drawings under the Loan.”

SECTION 5. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby represent and warrant that as of the Effective Date:

(a)the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor of this Waiver has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and does not and will not (i) contravene the terms of any of their Organizational Documents, (ii) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien under, or require any payment to be made under (A) any Contractual Obligation to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor is a party or affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor or the properties of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor (other than the Lien created by the Loan Documents) or (B) any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which the Borrower or each Subsidiary Guarantor or its property is subject or (iii) violate any Law;

(b)neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary Guarantor is in default under or with respect to any Contractual Obligation that, either individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, other than the Specified Defaults (which are hereby waived subject to the satisfaction of all the conditions set forth in Section 3); and

(c)both at the time of and immediately after giving effect to this Waiver, no Default or Event of Default other than the Specified Default (which are hereby waived subject to the satisfaction of all the conditions set forth in Section 3) shall have occurred and be continuing.

SECTION 6. Miscellaneous.

(a)The waiver provided in Section 2 hereof shall be applicable solely with respect to those matters expressly provided therein and no other amendments, releases, waivers or consents may be construed or implied;

This Waiver constitutes the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof; and
