NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is agreed as follows: 
SECTION 1.    Amendment to Credit Agreement.  Effective as of the First Amendment Effective Date and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in reliance upon representations and warranties set forth herein, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
a.Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is amended by inserting the following new definitions in their correct alphabetical order:







“First Amendment” shall mean the First Amendment to this Agreement, dated as of December 28, 2017, among the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto, the Lenders party thereto, and the Administrative Agent.
“First Amendment Effective Date” shall have the meaning specified in the First Amendment.
“Term B-1 Loan” shall have the meaning specified in the First Amendment.
(a)Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is further amended by deleting the definition of “Applicable Margin” set forth therein in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
“Applicable Margin” means:
(a)    with respect to Term B-1 Loans that are Base Rate Loans,  a percentage per annum equal to 1.25%, and with respect to Term B-1 Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans, a percentage per annum equal to 2.25%;  and
(b)    with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, the corresponding percentages per annum as set forth below based on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio:
	
					
	Pricing Level
	Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio
	LIBOR +
	Base Rate +
	Commitment Fee

	I
	Less than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00
	1.00%
	0.00%
	0.25%

	II
	Greater than 1.50 to 1.00, but less than or equal to 2.25 to 1.00
	1.25%
	0.25%
	0.30%

	III

	1.50%
	0.50%
	0.35%

	IV
	Greater than 3.00 to 1.00, but less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00

	0.40%

	V
	Greater than 4.00 to 1.00
	2.00%
	1.00%
	0.45%






The Applicable Margin shall be determined and adjusted quarterly on the date five (5) Business Days after the day on which the Borrower provides an Officer’s Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 8.2(a) for the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower (each such date, a “Calculation Date”); provided that (a) the Applicable Margin with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility shall be based on Pricing Level IV until the first Calculation Date occurring after the Closing Date and, thereafter, the Pricing Level shall be determined by reference to the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower preceding the applicable Calculation Date, and (b) if the Borrower fails to provide an Officer’s Compliance Certificate when due as required by Section 8.2(a) (taking into account any applicable cure periods) for the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower preceding the applicable Calculation Date, the Applicable Margin from the date on which such Officer’s Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered (taking into account any applicable cure periods)  with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility shall be based on Pricing Level V until such time as such Officer’s Compliance Certificate is delivered, at which time the Pricing Level shall be determined by reference to the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower preceding such Calculation Date.  The applicable Pricing Level shall be effective from 


2
96695830_4







one Calculation Date until the next Calculation Date.  Any adjustment in the Pricing Level shall be applicable to all Extensions of Credit then existing or subsequently made or issued.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any financial statement or Officer’s Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.2(a) is shown to be inaccurate (regardless of whether (i) this Agreement is in effect, (ii) any Commitments are in effect, or (iii) any Extension of Credit is outstanding when such inaccuracy is discovered or such financial statement or Officer’s Compliance Certificate was delivered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, then (A) the Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent a corrected Officer’s Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period, (B) the Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period shall be determined as if the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio in the corrected Officer’s Compliance Certificate were applicable for such Applicable Period, and (C) the Borrower shall promptly and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent the accrued additional interest and fees owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 5.4.  Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the rights of the Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect to Sections 5.1(b) and 10.2 nor any of their other rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.
(b)The definition of “Repricing Transaction” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement and Sections 4.4(a), 4.4(b)(v), 4.5, 5.13(d)(v), 9.1(i) and 12.9(b) of the Credit Agreement are hereby amended by replacing each reference to “Initial Term Loan” or “Initial Term Loans”, as applicable, therein with “Term B-1 Loan” or “Term B-1 Loans”, as applicable.
(c)Exhibit F to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such Exhibit in its entirety and replacing it with Exhibit F attached hereto as Exhibit B.
SECTION 2.    Term B-1 Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term B-1 Lender severally agrees to exchange its Initial Term Loans for Term B-1 Loans and/or make Term B-1 Loans to the Borrower in a single borrowing on the First Amendment Effective Date.  Pursuant to Section 5.16 of the Credit Agreement, the Term B-1 Loans shall constitute a separate Class of Loans and shall have the following terms:
		
	(a)
	Term B-1 Commitments.  Each Term B-1 Lender severally agrees to fund (in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement) the Term B-1 Loan to the Borrower on the First Amendment Effective Date in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Term B-1 Commitment of the First Amendment Effective Date. 


		
	(b)
	Amortization and Maturity Date. The Borrower shall repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term B-1 Loans in consecutive quarterly installments equal to $1,500,000 (except as the amounts of individual installments may be adjusted pursuant to Section 4.4 of the Credit Agreement) on the last Business Day of each of March, June, September and December commencing December 31, 2017; provided, however, that the final principal repayment installment of the Term B-1 Loans shall be repaid on the Term Loan Maturity Date in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Term B-1 Loans outstanding on such date.

	(e)
	Call Premium.

Such fees shall be due and payable within five (5) Business Days of the date of the effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction.


		
	(f)
	Termination of Commitments.  The Term B-1 Commitments shall terminate upon the funding of Term B-1 Loans (and/or the exchange of Term B-1 Loans for Initial Term Loans).


		
	(g)
	Credit Agreement Governs.  Except as set forth in this Agreement, the Term B-1 Loans shall be subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement (as amended by this Agreement) and the other Loan Documents in all respects, each reference to a “Term Loan” in the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to include the Term B-1 Loans, each reference to a “Term Loan Commitment” in the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to include the Term B-1 Commitments and other related terms will have correlative meanings mutatis mutandis.


		
	(h)

SECTION 3.    Exchange of Term Loans; Cashless Settlement.  
a.Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) each Term Loan Lender holding Initial Term Loans immediately prior to the First Amendment Effective Date (each such Lender, an “Existing Term Loan Lender”) executing and delivering a Lender Consent (as defined below) that elects the cashless settlement option shall, in lieu of its requirement to fund a Term B-1 Loan, be deemed to have made to the Borrower a Term B-1 Loan on the First Amendment Effective Date in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans held by such Existing Term Loan Lender immediately prior to the First Amendment Effective Date (such Existing Term Loan Lender’s “Existing Initial Term Loan Amount”) and (B) such Existing Term Loan Lender’s Term B-1 Loan Commitment; provided that if such Existing Term Loan Lender’s Term B-1 Commitment exceeds such Existing Term Loan Lender’s Existing Initial Term Loan Amount, then such Existing Term Loan Lender shall be required to fund a Term B-1 Loan on the First Amendment Effective Date in accordance with Section 2 hereof in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess, and (ii) the Borrower shall, in lieu of its obligation to prepay Initial Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Lender, be deemed to have prepaid, on the First Amendment Effective Date, an amount of the Initial Term Loans of each Existing Term Loan Lender in an aggregate principal amount equal to the 


4
96695830_4







lesser of (A) such Existing Term Loan Lender’s Existing Initial Term Loan Amount and (B) such Existing Term Loan Lender’s Term B-1 Commitment; provided that (1) if such Existing Term Loan Lender’s Existing Initial Term Loan Amount exceeds such Existing Term Loan Lender’s Term B-1 Commitment, then the Borrower shall be required to prepay in full, on the First Amendment Effective Date, the outstanding principal amount of the Initial Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Lender not deemed to be prepaid pursuant to this clause (ii) and (2) notwithstanding the operation of this clause (ii), the Borrower shall be required to pay to such Existing Term Loan Lender, on the First Amendment Effective Date, all accrued but unpaid interest and fees on the outstanding principal amount of the Initial Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Lender immediately prior to the First Amendment Effective Date.
b.Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Existing Term Loan Lender that does not have a Term B-1 Commitment shall be repaid in full in cash with respect to its Initial Term Loans and, by execution of a Lender Consent as described below, each Term B-1 Lender hereby consents to such repayments.
c.In order to evidence the exchange contemplated above, the Administrative Agent has notified the Borrower that, upon the occurrence of the First Amendment Effective Date (and the payment of all interest and other non-principal amounts then due and owing by the Borrower to such Existing Term Loan Lender in respect of such Existing Term Loan Lender’s Existing Initial Term Loan Amount on the First Amendment Effective Date), it will mark the Register to reflect (a) the Existing Initial Term Loan Amount of each Existing Term Loan Lender in the amount equal to such Existing Term Loan Lender’s Term B-1 Loan as no longer outstanding and (b) that each Existing Term Loan Lender is a Lender under the Credit Agreement upon the occurrence of the First Amendment Effective Date in respect of its Term B-1 Commitment.  None of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any of their respective affiliates (each of the foregoing, an “Agent-Related Person”), shall be liable to any Existing Term Loan Lender, any other Lender, the Borrower or any of their respective affiliates, equity holders or debt holders for any losses, costs, damages or liabilities incurred, directly or indirectly, as a result of any Agent-Related Person, or their counsel or other representatives, taking any action in accordance with the Lender Consents or this Agreement or executing a Lender Consent or this Agreement.
SECTION 4.    Refinancing Amendment.
