B. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders desire to amend the Credit Agreement as more fully set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1.Amendment of Credit Agreement. Effective as of the Effective Date (as hereinafter defined), the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(a)The following defined terms are hereby added to Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement as follows:
“Dividing Person” has the meaning assigned to it in the definition of “Division”.
“Division” means the division of the assets, liabilities and/or obligations of a Person (the “Dividing Person”) among two or more Persons (whether pursuant to a “plan of division” or similar arrangement), which may or may not include the Dividing Person and pursuant to which the Dividing Person may or may not survive.
“Division Successor” means any Person that, upon the consummation of a Division of a Dividing Person, holds all or any portion of the assets, liabilities and/or obligations previously held by such Dividing Person immediately prior to the consummation of such Division. A Dividing Person which retains any of its assets,
la-1419378
liabilities and/or obligations after a Division shall be deemed a Division Successor upon the occurrence of such Division.
“LLC” means any Person that is a limited liability company under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation.
(b)The definition of “ABR” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to amend and restate the last sentence thereof to read as follows: “For the avoidance of doubt, if the ABR as determined pursuant to the foregoing would be less than 1.00%, such rate shall be deemed to be 1.00% for purposes of this Agreement.”.
(c)The definition of “Applicable Margin” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to replace the pricing grid in such definition as follows:
Leverage Ratio | Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans | Applicable Margin for ABR Loans | Commitment Fee Rate |
≤35% | 1.375% | 0.375% | 0.20% |
≤40% | 1.50% | 0.50% | 0.25% |
≤45% | 1.625% | 0.625% | 0.25% |
≤50% | 1.75% | 0.75% | 0.30% |
>50% | 1.875% | 0.875% | 0.30% |
(d)The definition of “Beneficial Ownership Certification” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the words “or control” immediately after the word “ownership” in the definition.
(e)The definition of “Class A Termination Date” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“Class A Termination Date”: July 9, 2023, subject, however, to earlier termination of the Total Commitment pursuant of the terms of this Agreement.
(f)The definition of “Investment” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is amended to add the following parenthetical at the end of clause (a) thereof to read as follows: “(including as a Division Successor pursuant to a Division of any Person that was not a wholly owned Subsidiary prior to such Division)”.
(g)The definition of “Permitted Liens” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is amended to add in clause (h) thereof, the following parenthetical after the first appearance of the words “Loan Party” as follows: “(other than as a result of a Division of a Loan Party or of a Division of a Person in which Borrower or any
Fifth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
2
la-1419378
Restricted Subsidiary has an Investment in immediately prior to the Division)”.
(h)The definition of “Sanctioned Person” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is amended by amending and restating clause (a) to read as follows: “(a) any Person listed in any Sanctions-related list of designated Persons maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of Treasury, the U.S. Department of State, the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, any EU member state, or Her Majesty’s Treasury of the United Kingdom,”.
(i)The definition of “Sanctions” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
“Sanctions” means economic or financial sanctions or trade embargos imposed, administered or enforced from time to time by (a) the U.S. Government, including those administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the U.S. Department of State or (b) the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, any EU member state, or Her Majesty’s Treasury of the United Kingdom.
(j)A new Section 1.3 is added to the Credit Agreement to read as follows:
“1.3 GAAP. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the definition of “GAAP” or in the definitions of “Capitalized Lease” or “Capitalized Lease Obligations,” in the event of an accounting change requiring leases to be capitalized, only those leases that would constitute capital leases in conformity with GAAP prior to December 31, 2018 shall be considered capital leases, and all calculations and deliverables under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made or delivered, as applicable, in accordance therewith.”
(k)A new Section 1.4 is added to the Credit Agreement to read as follows:
“1.4 Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Base Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. In the
Fifth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
3
la-1419378
event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in Section 2.13(c) of this Agreement, such Section 2.13(c) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.13, in advance of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of “Eurodollar Base Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.13(c), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the Eurodollar Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.”
(l)Section 6.3 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to amend and restate the provisos in the first sentence in their entirety to read as follows:
“; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit any merger, consolidation, Division, liquidation or dissolution permitted under Section 7.3. ”
(m)Section 7.3(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
(i)Clause (ii) thereof is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: “(ii) merge into or consolidate with any other Person or permit any other Person to merge into or consolidate with it or consummate a Division as the Dividing Person;”; and
(ii)The proviso at the end is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: “provided, however, that any Subsidiary or any other Person may merge into or consolidate with, consummate a Division, or may dissolve and liquidate into a Loan Party and any Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party may merge into or consolidate with, consummate a Division, or may dissolve and liquidate into another Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party, if (and only if), (1) in the case of a merger or consolidation involving a Loan Party other than the Borrower, the surviving Person is, or upon such merger or consolidation becomes, a Loan Party, (2) in the case of a merger or consolidation involving the Borrower, the Borrower is the surviving Person, (3) in the case of a Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party, such Subsidiary is merging or consolidating with any Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party, (4) in the case of a Division of a Subsidiary that is an LLC and such Subsidiary is the Dividing Person, immediately upon the consummation of the Division, the assets of the applicable Dividing Person are held by one or more Subsidiaries at such time, or, with respect to assets not so
Fifth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
4
la-1419378
held by one or more Subsidiaries, such Division, in the aggregate, would not otherwise result in a disposition prohibited by Section 7.3(a)(i) above, (5) the character of the business of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will not be materially changed by such occurrence, and (6) such occurrence shall not constitute or give rise to (a) an Event of Default or (b) Default (beyond all applicable grace and cure periods) in respect of any of the covenants contained in any agreement to which the Borrower or any such Subsidiary is a party or by which its property may be bound if such default would have a Material Adverse Effect”.
(n)Section 9.11 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of subsection (b) thereof.
Section 2.Intentionally Omitted.
Section 3.Intentionally Omitted.
Section 4.Effective Date. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof, this Amendment shall be effective as of the date of this Amendment (the “Effective Date”).

(d)This Amendment (i) does not require any consent or approval of, registration
Fifth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
5
la-1419378
or filing with, or any other action by, any governmental authority, except for such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) will not violate any applicable law or regulation, the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of Borrower, or any order of any governmental authority and (iii) will not violate or result in a default under any Contractual Obligation of Borrower; and
