 AGREEMENT 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 SECTION
1.   Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein (including in the preamble and recitals above) but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement. 

SECTION 2.   Amendments to Loan Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 3 hereof, the Loan Agreement is hereby amended as follows: 
 (a)   Section 1.1 of the Loan
Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following definitions in the appropriate alphabetical order: 
 “Adjusted Daily Reset
LIBOR Rate” means, for any date, the rate per annum determined by Agent by dividing (a) the Daily Reset LIBOR Rate for such date, by (b) 100% minus the Reserve Percentage. In no case shall the Adjusted Daily Reset LIBOR
Rate be less than 0%. 






 “Daily Reset LIBOR Rate” means, for any date, the rate determined by Agent to
be the per annum rate (rounded upward to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent (1/100%)) at which Dollar deposits in immediately available funds and in lawful money of the United States would be offered to Agent, on behalf of Lenders,
outside of the United States at approximately 11:00 a.m. (LIBOR time) on such date, for a one-month period. 
 (b) Section 1.1
of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating in their entirety the definitions of “Interest Period,” “LIBOR Rate Loan” and “Payment Date,” as follows: 

“Interest Period” means, as to each LIBOR Rate Loan (other than any LIBOR Rate Loan bearing interest at the Adjusted Daily
Reset LIBOR Rate), the period commencing on the date such LIBOR Rate Loan is disbursed or converted to or continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan and ending on the date one, three or six months thereafter, as selected by the Borrower in a written notice
to Agent; provided that: 
 (i) any Interest Period that would otherwise end on a day that is not a Business Day
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case such Interest Period shall end on the next preceding Business Day; 

(ii) any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no
numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period; and 

(iii) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date. 

“LIBOR Rate Loan” means each portion of an Advance that bears interest at (i) a rate determined by reference to the
LIBOR Rate pursuant to Borrower’s exercise of the LIBOR Option in accordance with Section 2.12, or (ii) the Adjusted Daily Reset LIBOR Rate. 






 “Payment Date” means the first
(1st) day of each calendar month, or such other day as may be agreed to by Borrower and Agent (with the consent of the Required Lenders) from time to time. 

(c)   The second sentence of Section 2.2(a) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read
as follows: 
 Each Borrowing hereunder shall initially bear interest at the Adjusted Daily Reset LIBOR Rate. 

(d)   Section 2.5(a)(i) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 

(i) if the relevant Obligation is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to (A) the LIBOR Rate or the Adjusted LIBOR Daily Reset
Rate, as applicable, plus (B) the LIBOR Rate Margin, and 
 (e)   Section 2.5(c) of the Loan Agreement is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 
 (c)   Payment. Except to the extent, if any, provided to the contrary
in Section 2.10, Section 2.12, or elsewhere in this Agreement, interest and all other fees payable hereunder shall be due and payable, in arrears, (i) on each Payment Date that Obligations or Commitments are outstanding,
and (ii) on the Maturity Date. On or about ten (10) days prior to each Payment Date, the Agent will provide Borrower with an indicative statement detailing the amount of interest, fees and expenses payable on the immediately upcoming
Payment Date, which amounts shall be subject to modification as a result of changes occurring between the date of delivery of such statement and such Payment Date (and the Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with
prompt written notice of any such modification(s) on or prior to such Payment Date). Borrower hereby authorizes Agent from time to time to debit (by ACH or otherwise) from any Borrower Account all interest and fees (when due and payable), the fees
and costs provided for in Section 2.10 (as and when accrued or incurred), and all other payments as and when due and payable under any Loan Document or any Bank Product Agreement (including any amounts due and payable to the Bank Product
Providers in respect of Bank Products up to the Bank Product Reserve Amount). Borrower further authorizes Agent, from time to time with prior notice to Borrower, to charge all interest and fees (when due and







 
payable), all Lender Group Expenses (as and when incurred), the fees and costs provided for in Section 2.10 (as and when accrued or incurred), and all other payments as and when due
and payable under any Loan Document or any Bank Product Agreement (including any amounts due and payable to the Bank Product Providers in respect of Bank Products up to the Bank Product Reserve Amount) to Borrower’s Loan Account, which amounts
thereafter constitute Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded and shall thereafter constitute Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest at
the rate then applicable to Advances hereunder. 
 (f)   Section 2.12(a) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety as follows: 
 (a)   LIBOR Election. Borrower may elect from time to time that all (or any
portion) of the Advances (other than Advances with respect to Agent Advances and Overadvances) bear interest at the LIBOR Rate, the Adjusted Daily Reset LIBOR Rate or the Base Rate. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Borrower may, by notifying Agent prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to its desired commencement of an Interest Period for all (or a portion) of the Advances (the “LIBOR Deadline”), elect
to exercise Borrower’s option (the “LIBOR Option”) to have interest on all (or any portion) of such Advances (other than Advances with respect to Agent Advances and Overadvances) determined for such Interest Period by reference
to the LIBOR Rate or the Adjusted Daily Reset LIBOR Rate. Notice of Borrower’s election of the LIBOR Option for any Interest Period, and (if applicable) the Interest Periods selected and the Advances subject to such Interest Periods, shall be
made by delivery by Borrower to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline, or by telephonic notice to Agent by Borrower received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline (to be confirmed by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice
received by Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the same day). Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower. Promptly upon its receipt of any LIBOR Notice, Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each of the Lenders. There
shall be no more than five (5) Interest Periods outstanding at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower has not exercised the LIBOR Option in accordance with this Section 2.12 prior to the LIBOR Deadline for an Interest
Period, then interest on all or such portion of the Advances then eligible to have interest determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate (including the 






 
Advances that were treated as LIBOR Rate Loans during the immediately preceding Interest Period) shall be determined for such Interest Period by reference to the Adjusted Daily Reset LIBOR Rate
unless Borrower has notified Lender prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the commencement of an Interest Period that it elects interest on such Advances to accrue by reference to the Base Rate. At any
time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower no longer shall have the option to request that Advances bear interest determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate or the Adjusted Daily Reset LIBOR Rate, and Lender shall have the
right to convert the interest rate on all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder for the remainder of such Interest Period. 

(g)   Section 2.12(e) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 

(e)   Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Agent) from time to time, Borrower shall
promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 

(i)   any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any LIBOR Rate Loan (other than any LIBOR Rate Loan
bearing interest at the Adjusted Daily Reset LIBOR Rate) on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); 

(ii)   any failure by Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay,
borrow, continue or convert any LIBOR Rate Loan (other than any LIBOR Rate Loan bearing interest at the Adjusted Daily Reset LIBOR Rate) on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower; or 

(iii)   any assignment of a LIBOR Rate Loan (other than any LIBOR Rate Loan bearing interest at the Adjusted Daily
Reset LIBOR Rate) on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by Borrower pursuant to Section 15.2.

entirety in the form set forth on Annex 1 hereto.
