whole multiple of 1/100th of 1%) equal to the rate per annum set forth on the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 page (or on any successor or substitute page of such service, or any successor to or substitute for such service providing quotations of interest
rates applicable to Dollar deposits being delivered in the London interbank market, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent from time to time) at approximately 11:00 a.m. London, England time (or as soon thereafter as practicable) on
the date that is two Business Days before the first day of the applicable Interest Period as the London Interbank Offered Rate, for deposits in Dollars for a period equal to such Interest Period; provided that, if such quotation is not available for
any reason, then for purposes of this clause (b), and subject to clause (ii) of Section 2.14, the Eurodollar Base Rate shall then be the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the average of the rates per annum at

Period are offered to major banks in the London interbank market by the Administrative Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period. 

“Maturity Date” means the fifth anniversary of the Second Amendment Effective Date, as such date may be
extended by the relevant Lenders pursuant to Section 2.22. 

  
 -2- 








 “Swingline Sublimit Amount” means, at any time, an amount
equal to $100,000,000; provided that, on and after the Maturity Date, the Swingline Sublimit Amount shall be zero. 
 (c)
Section 2.02(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the reference to “(iii) the aggregate amount of all such Commitment Increases shall not exceed $250,000,000” with “(iii) the aggregate amount
of all such Commitment Increases after the Second Amendment Effective Date shall not exceed $250,000,000”.

 Section 4. Representations and Warranties. The
Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that the representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall

number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same amendatory instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Amendment by signing any such counterpart. Transmission by facsimile or electronic
transmission (e.g., PDF) of an executed counterpart of this Amendment shall be deemed to constitute due and sufficient delivery of such counterpart.
