(a) Notice of Borrowing. Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of
Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable notice to Agent, which may be given by (i) telephone or (ii) a Loan Notice; provided that, any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to Agent
of a Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received by Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (ii) on
the requested date of any Borrowing of LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $250,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice and each telephonic notice shall specify (A) the applicable Facility and whether Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one

to LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar
Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Swingline Loan may not be converted to a
Eurodollar Rate Loan. 
 (c) Section 2.04(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and
replaced as follows: 
 (b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swingline Borrowing shall be made upon Borrower’s
irrevocable notice to the Swingline Lender and Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) a Swingline Loan Notice; provided that, any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Swingline Lender and
Agent of a Swingline Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received by the Swingline Lender and Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of
$250,000, and (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day). Promptly after receipt by the Swingline Lender of any Swingline Loan Notice, the Swingline Lender will confirm with Agent (by telephone or in writing) that
Agent has also received such Swingline Loan 

  
 4 








 
Notice and, if not, the Swingline Lender will notify Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swingline Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from
Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Lender) prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swingline Borrowing (A) directing the Swingline Lender not to make such Swingline Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first
proviso to the first sentence of subsection(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline
Lender will, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swingline Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swingline Loan available to Borrower at its office by crediting the account of Borrower on the books of the Swingline Lender
in immediately available funds. 
 (d) Section 2.05(a)(i) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its
entirety and replaced as follows: 
 (a) Optional. 

(i) Borrower may, upon notice to Agent pursuant to delivery to Agent of a Notice of Loan Prepayment, at any time or from time
to time voluntarily prepay Term Loans and Revolving Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (1) three (3) Business Days prior to
any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (2) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans; (B) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole
multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Daily Floating Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $250,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the
entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans.
Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Facility). If such
notice is given by Borrower, Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of principal shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the
amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this subsection(a)(i) shall be applied to the principal repayment
installments thereof in the inverse order of maturity. Subject to Section 2.15, such prepayments shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of each of the relevant
Facilities. 
 (ii) Borrower may, upon notice to the Swingline Lender pursuant to delivery to the Swingline Lender of a
Notice of Loan Prepayment (with a copy to Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swingline Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Swingline Lender,
(A) such notice must be received by the Swingline Lender and Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $250,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in
excess hereof (or, if less, the entire principal thereof then outstanding). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by Borrower, Borrower shall make


  
 5 








 
such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of principal shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on
the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. 
 (e) The
last sentence of Section 3.05 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows: 
 For
purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit
or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded. 

(f) Section 6.01(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete the number “120” in the
first line thereof and replace it with “75”.

related Consolidated statements of income or operations for the portion of Borrower’s fiscal year then ended, all in reasonable detail, such Consolidated statements to be certified by the chief executive officer, chief financial officer,
treasurer or controller of Borrower as fairly presenting in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations of Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance with, at Borrower’s option, GAAP or IFRS, subject only to normal
year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes (provided that the requirements of this subsection (b) with respect to the delivery of financial statements for any fiscal quarter shall be deemed satisfied by
publicly filing Borrower’s Form 10-Q for such fiscal quarter with the SEC, and such financial statements shall be deemed to have been delivered to Agent under this subsection (b) on the date such Form 10-Q has been posted on
the SEC website accessible through http://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/webusers.htm or such successor webpage of the SEC thereto). 
 As to
any information contained in materials furnished pursuant to Section 6.02(d), Borrower shall not be separately required to furnish such information under subsection (a) or (b) above, but the
foregoing shall not be in derogation of the obligation of Borrower to furnish the information and materials described in Sections (a) and (b) above at the times specified therein. 

(h) Section 10.09 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows: 

10.09 Appointment of Borrower. 

Each of the Guarantors hereby appoints Borrower to act as its agent for all purposes of this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and all other documents and electronic platforms entered into in connection herewith and agrees that (a) Borrower

upon any notices (including, without limitation, telephonic or electronic notices, Loan Notices, Letter of Credit Applications, Notice of Loan Prepayment and Swingline Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party even if
(i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any
confirmation thereof. The Loan Parties shall indemnify Agent, the L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly
given by or on behalf of a Loan Party. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with Agent may be recorded by Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the Texas Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, or any other similar state laws based on the
Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary Agent is under no obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by
Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it or unless otherwise delivered in accordance with the penultimate sentence of Section 11.10; provided further without limiting the foregoing, upon the request of Agent, any

 4. FATCA. For the purposes of
determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the effective date of this Amendment, the Borrower and the Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Agent to treat) the obligations of the Borrower set forth in the

limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of Agent’s counsel. 
 (f) Multiple Counterparts. This
Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment, or any certificate delivered hereunder, by fax transmission or other electronic mail transmission (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Amendment. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable law, have the same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on Borrower, each Guarantor, Agent, and
each Lender. Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original; provided that, the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or
signature.
