NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED by Borrowers, Agent and Lenders, that the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:


1.Defined Terms.  In this Amendment, capitalized terms used without separate definition shall have the meanings given them in the Credit Agreement.
2.Amendments to Credit Agreement.
(a)Definitions. The following definitions are hereby added to Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement in appropriate alphabetical sequence, or to the extent they already appear therein, are hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:
“Base Rate” shall mean, for any day, that per annum rate of interest which is equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the greater of (a) the Prime Rate for such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day, plus one percent (1.0%), and (c) 2%.  If the Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent clearly manifest error) that it is 





unable to ascertain the Federal Funds Effective Rate for any reason, including the inability or failure of the Agent to obtain sufficient quotations in accordance with the terms of the definition of the term Federal Funds Effective Rate, the Base Rate shall be determined without regard to clause (b) of the preceding sentence until the circumstances giving rise to such inability no longer exist.  Any change in the Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate, respectively.
“CARES Act” shall mean the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, as in effect on the Seventh Amendment Effective Date, together with all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
“Daily LIBOR Rate” shall mean, relative to any day, a per annum rate equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the greater of (a) 1% and (b) the arithmetic average of the London Interbank Offered Rates administered by the ICE Benchmark Administration (or any Person that takes over administration of such rate) for deposits in Dollars for a one-month Eurodollar-Interest Period, commencing such day, which appear on the relevant Bloomberg page (or such other commercially available source providing quotations of the London Interbank Offered Rates for deposits in Dollars as may be designated by the Agent from time to time), at or about 11:00 am (London time) on such day. If such day is not a London Banking Day, the Daily LIBOR Rate shall be determined on the next preceding day which is a London Banking Day. If for any reason Agent cannot determine such offered rate or such rate is not available at such time for any reason, then the “Daily LIBOR Rate” for such period shall be the Interpolated Screen Rate, where applicable.  Each calculation by the Agent of the Daily LIBOR Rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto for all purposes, absent clearly manifest error.
“Eurodollar-based Rate” shall mean a per annum interest rate which is equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin, plus the greater of (a) 1% and (b) the quotient of:
(i)    the LIBOR Rate, divided by
(ii)    a percentage equal to 100% minus the maximum rate on such date at which Agent is required to maintain reserves on “Eurocurrency Liabilities” as defined in and pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or, if such regulation or definition is modified, and as long as Agent is required to maintain reserves against a category of liabilities which includes Eurocurrency deposits or includes a category of assets which includes Eurocurrency loans, the rate at which such reserves are required to be maintained on such category, such sum to be rounded upward, if necessary, in the discretion of the Agent, to the seventh decimal place.
“PPP” is as defined in Section 7.2(k) of the Credit Agreement.
“PPP Exclusion Period” shall mean the period commencing on the date on which the PPP Loan has been extended until the earlier to occur of (i) the 6-month anniversary of such date, and (ii) the date on which a final determination by the lender of the PPP Loan has been made and, to the extent required, the Small Business Administration, regarding the amount of PPP Loan that will be forgiven pursuant to the CARES Act.  
“PPP Loan” is as defined in Section 7.2(k) of the Credit Agreement.





“PPP Loan Documents” is as defined in Section 7.2(k) of the Credit Agreement.

The US Borrower shall continue to make payments of accrued interest in respect of the CAPEX Loan on each applicable Quarterly Payment Date, including the June 30, 2020 Quarterly Payment Date.  US Borrower acknowledges that deferment of the Deferred CAPEX Loan Payment may result in more interest being paid over the term of the CAPEX Loan than would be due if these payments had not been deferred.

Except as expressly provided herein, Agent and the Lenders do not waive or forgive the payment of any amount payable under the Loan Documents, whether as a result of a prepayment or otherwise.”

Except as expressly permitted hereunder with respect to the PPP Loan, the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries shall obtain Agent’s written consent prior to incurring any otherwise prohibited Debt pursuant to any loan programs under the CARES Act.”
