Exhibit 4.A2

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

This Amendment No. 1 to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of July 23, 2019 by and among Viad Corp, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Lender, as LC Issuer, as Swing Line Lender and as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the undersigned Required Lenders.

RECITALS

A.The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are party to that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of October 24, 2018 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).  Unless otherwise specified herein, capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed to them by the Credit Agreement. 

B.The Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and each of the Required Lenders party hereto wish to amend the Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth below.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual execution hereof and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.Amendments to Credit Agreement.  Upon the “Amendment Effective Date” (as defined below), Section 5.9 of the Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

5.9ERISA.   The Unfunded Liabilities of all Single Employer Plans do not in the aggregate exceed $30,000,000, as calculated in accordance with GAAP.  Neither the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, nor any other member of the Controlled Group has incurred, or is reasonably expected to incur, any Withdrawal Liability to Multiemployer Plans in excess of $30,000,000 in the aggregate.  Each Single Employer Plan and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, each Multiemployer Plan complies in all material respects with all applicable requirements of law and regulations except where the failure to so comply would not reasonably be expected to either have a Material Adverse Effect or result in the imposition of a Lien.  No Reportable Event has occurred with respect to any Plan which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or in the imposition of a Lien.  Neither the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries nor any other member of the Controlled Group has withdrawn from any Multiemployer Plan or initiated steps to do so, and no steps have been taken to reorganize or terminate any Plan to the extent such action would reasonably be expected to result in aggregate liability to the Borrower in excess of $30,000,000.

(a)At the time of and immediately after giving effect to this Amendment,  each of the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement (treating this Amendment as a Loan Document for purposes thereof) is true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof as if made on the date hereof, except to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct on and as of such earlier date; and

(b)At the time of and immediately after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing.

3.Amendment Effective Date.  Upon delivery to Administrative Agent of (i) this Amendment executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each of the Required Lenders and (ii) the Acknowledgment attached hereto as Exhibit A signed by each Guarantor, this Amendment shall be deemed effective as of the date hereof (the “Amendment Effective Date”). 

4.Reference to and Effect Upon the Loan Documents.

(a)Except as specifically amended, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

(b)The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document, except as specifically set forth herein.  Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein” or words of similar import shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
