is hereby amended by deleting “(excluding Hostile Acquisitions)” from such subsection. 
 2.    Conditions to Effectiveness of this Amendment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Amendment and without affecting in any manner the rights of the Lenders hereunder, it is understood and
agreed that this Amendment shall not become effective, and the Borrower shall have no rights under this Amendment, until the Administrative Agent shall have received (a) reimbursement or payment of its costs and expenses incurred in connection
with this Amendment (including, to the extent invoiced, reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of King & Spalding LLP, counsel to the Administrative Agent), and (b) executed counterparts to this Amendment from the Borrower, each of

other material instrument binding on the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or its assets or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and (iv) will not result in the creation or
imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except Liens (if any) created under the Loan Documents; 
 (d)
This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered for the benefit of or on behalf of each Loan Party and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms except
as the enforceability hereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law; and 
 (e) After giving effect to this Amendment, the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement
and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects, and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof.

of the Borrower to the Lenders or any other obligation of the Borrower, or any actions now or hereafter taken by the Lenders with respect to any obligation
of the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement (i) is and shall continue to be a primary obligation of the Subsidiary Guarantors, (ii) is and shall continue to be an absolute, unconditional, joint and several, continuing and
irrevocable guaranty of payment, and (iii) is and shall continue to be in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Nothing contained herein to the contrary shall release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of
the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement. 
 5.    Effect of Amendment. Except as
set forth expressly herein, all terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, and the other Loan Documents shall be and remain in full force and effect and shall constitute the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Borrower to
the Lenders and the Administrative Agent. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, nor
constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement. This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document for all purposes of the Credit Agreement. 
 6.    Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York. 
 7.    No Novation. This Amendment is not intended by the parties to be, and shall not be construed to be, a novation of
the Credit Agreement or an accord and satisfaction in regard thereto.

Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of
an executed counterpart of this Amendment by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in pdf form shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

respective successors, successors-in-titles, and assigns. 
 11.    Entire Understanding. This Amendment
