 2.02.
Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

twelve months”. 
 2.03. A new Section 2.17 shall be inserted at the end of Article II of the Credit Agreement to read as
follows: 
 “SECTION 2.17. Extension of Commitment Termination Date. (a) The Borrower may, by notice to
the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) not more than 90 days and not less than 30 days prior to each anniversary of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date (or if such anniversary date is not a Business Day, the Business

discretion, shall, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent given not later than the 20th day (or such later day as shall be acceptable to the Borrower) following the date of the Borrower’s notice, advise the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension; provided that any Lender that does not so advise the Borrower shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension Request (any such Lender which shall have rejected or is
deemed to have rejected such extension being a “Non-Extending Lender”). The election

paragraph (c) of this Section. 
 (b) The Borrower shall have the right, at any time on or prior to, or at any time

Extension Effective Date (or, if such replacement occurs thereafter, as of the relevant effective date of such replacement), provide a new or additional Commitment hereunder, as applicable, in the amount specified therein and (if not then an
existing Lender) become a Lender hereunder (and if such replacement shall be made after such Extension Effective Date, the Commitment Termination Date for such Commitment of such Additional Commitment Lender shall be the latest date to which the
Commitments of the other Lenders was extended as of such Extension Effective Date). 
 (c) If (and only if) the total of the
Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed in connection with any Extension Request to extend the Existing Commitment Termination Date and (if applicable) the additional Commitments of the Additional Commitment Lender(s) shall be at least 50% of
the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect immediately prior to the relevant Extension Effective Date, then, effective as of such Extension Effective Date, the Commitment Termination Date, but only with respect to the Commitment of each
Lender that has agreed to so extend its Commitment and (if applicable) each Additional Commitment Lender that has replaced a Non-Extending Lender, shall be extended to the date that is one year after the then Existing Commitment Termination Date
(or, if such date is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) and (if not then an existing Lender) each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement; provided
that the extension of the Existing Commitment Termination Date shall not be effective with respect to any Lender unless as of the relevant Extension Effective Date: (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (ii) the
representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in Article III shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Existing Commitment Termination Date as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation
or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the Borrower certifying thereto and (iii) all
amounts payable hereunder to any Non-Extending Lender that is being replaced by an Additional Commitment Lender in connection with such extension shall have been paid in full. Upon the effectiveness of such extension, the Administrative Agent shall
record the relevant information in the Register and give prompt notice of such extension to the Borrower and the Lenders. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Non-Extending Lender, the Commitment Termination Date for such Lender shall remain unchanged (and the Commitment of such Lender shall terminate, the Loans made by such

Non-Extending Lender hereunder shall mature and be payable by the Borrower, and all other amounts owing to such Non-Extending Lender hereunder shall be
payable, on such date).”
