““Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “ABR,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).”

(3)    in the case of an Early Opt-in Election, the sixth (6th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Lenders, so long as the Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early

(3)    a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) or a Relevant Governmental Body announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer representative.
For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).”
““Benchmark Unavailability Period” means the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of that definition has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 4.9 and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 4.9.”

(2)    the joint election by the Agent and the Borrower or (ii) the election by the Required Lenders to trigger a fallback from USD LIBOR and the provision by the Agent of written notice of such election to the Lenders or by the Required Lenders of written notice of such election to the Agent.

The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders in writing of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (d) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.

8








no payment will be required under Section 2.6(b)(i)(B) as result of the Borrower’s non-compliance with Section 9.1(f) or Section 9.1(g), provided Borrower shall continue to deliver to the Agent duly completed Compliance Certificates, for informational purposes only, as and when required under Section 8.1(c) certifying as to the Borrower’s calculations of the financial tests set forth in this Section 9.1, notwithstanding that covenants referenced in this Section 9.1(i) are not required to be satisfied during the Covenant Relief Period.

(i)Section 9.12(a) and (c) of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

(j)Article XII of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby modified by inserting a new Section 12.22 at the end thereof as follows:
12.22  LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined by reference to the LIBOR, 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 LIBOR 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 event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in Section 4.9 of this Agreement, such Section 4.9 provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 4.9, in advance of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant 
9








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 “LIBOR” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate therefor or 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 4.9, will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBOR or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.” 
(k)The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower hereby confirm that effective as of August 20, 2020, Category 2 pricing was in effect under clauses (a) and (b) of the definition of Applicable Margin.
SECTION 3.Conditions Precedent.  This Agreement shall become effective as of the first date (the “Amendment No. 2 Effective Date”) when each of the following conditions shall have been satisfied or waived in writing by the Agent:
(a)Representations and Warranties.  The representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in Article VI of the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or which are contained in any document furnished at any time under or in connection herewith or therewith, shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that any representation and warranty that is qualified by materiality shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Agreement, the representations and warranties contained Section 6.1(k) of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to such Section.
(b)No Default.  Neither a Default nor Event of Default shall exist, or would result from, the effectiveness of this Agreement.
(c)This Agreement.  The Agent shall have received executed counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the Borrower, the Required Lenders, and the Agent.
(d)Officer’s Certificates  The Agent shall have received a certificate or certificates executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower as of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, stating that (A) the conditions precedent specified herein with respect to the Borrower have been satisfied, (B) no Default or Event of Default exists, (C) attaching  copies of the organization documents of the Borrower, (D) all material governmental, shareholder and third party consents and approvals, if any, with respect to this Agreement and any other instruments or documents executed and delivered in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby have been obtained (and attaching copies thereof), and (E) that no action, suit, investigation or proceeding is pending or threatened in any court or before any arbitrator or governmental instrumentality that purports to affect the Borrower or any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents executed and delivered in connection with this Agreement, if such action, suit, investigation or proceeding could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(e)Opinions.  The Agent shall have received an opinion of legal counsel to the Borrower, in form and content satisfactory to the Agent to the effect that: (i) the Borrower is validly existing and in good standing in its state of formation and has all requisite power and authority to enter into this 
10








Agreement; (ii) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower; (iii) the transactions described in this Agreement will not constitute a default or breach under the terms of any material agreement or instrument listed by Borrower as an exhibit to its quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020; and (iv) such other matters, incident to the transactions contemplated hereby, as the Agent may reasonably request.

(b)WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES.  ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE AGENT AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS AMENDMENT OR THE EXISTING CREDIT AGREEMENT (AS AMENDED HEREBY), THE NOTES, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH CLAIMS OR DISPUTES.  EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME.  THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION  SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.
SECTION 5.Credit Agreement Governs; Ratification.  Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver or novation of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of any Lender or the Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle the Borrower to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances. 
SECTION 6.Counterparts.  This Agreement, which constitutes a Loan Document, may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.  Delivery of any executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
SECTION 7.Severability.  If any provision or obligation under this Agreement shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from this Agreement and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been a part of this Agreement.
