 For the purposes of this definition, (a) if a Moody’s Rating or, an S&P Rating
shall not be in effect (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in the last sentence of this definition), then the applicable rating agency shall be deemed to have established a rating in Rating Level 5 (as set forth in the table
above); (b) if the Moody’s Rating and the S&P Rating shall fall within different Rating Levels, the Applicable Rate shall be based on the higher of the two ratings unless the ratings differ by more than one Rating Level, in which case the
Applicable Rate shall be based on the Rating Level one level above that corresponding to the lower rating (in each case, for which purposes, Rating Level 1 is the highest and Rating Level 5 is the lowest); and (c) if the Moody’s
Rating or the S&P Rating shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of Moody’s or S&P), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first publicly announced by Moody’s or S&P.
Each change in the Applicable Rate shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such rating change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of Moody’s or
S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Banks shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or
the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) as of the Third Amendment Effective Date, the Applicable Rate shall
be based upon Rating Level 5 and shall continue to be based upon Rating Level 5 for one hundred eighty (180) days following the Third Amendment Effective Date, (b) as of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, the Applicable Rate
shall be based upon Level 6 and shall continue to be based upon Level 6 until termination of the Limitation Period and (c) thereafter the Applicable Rate shall be based upon the Moody’s Rating and the S&P Rating as set forth
in the table above.

Sections 7.01(a) and (b) of the Credit Agreement for the fiscal quarters ended September 23, 2020 and December 23, 2020). The foregoing waiver is a one-time waiver and applies only
to the specified circumstance and does not modify or otherwise affect the Borrower’s obligations to comply with such provision of the Credit Agreement or any other provision of the Credit Documents in any other instance. The foregoing limited
waiver shall not be deemed or otherwise construed to constitute a waiver of any other provision or to prejudice any right, power or remedy which any Bank may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any
other Credit Document, all of which rights, powers and remedies are hereby expressly reserved by the Banks. The agreements and consents set forth in this Section 3 are limited to the extent specifically set forth above and

the impact of the Coronavirus (also known as COVID-19) pandemic on the financial condition or business operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a Consolidated basis, that occurred and was disclosed
to the Banks prior to the Sixth Amendment Effective Date will be disregarded for purposes of this certification;

(iii)    the representations and warranties contained in Section 6 hereof shall
be true and correct on and as of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date; and 

  
 6

(b)    The Borrower and each Guarantor has taken all necessary corporate action to execute, deliver and perform this
Amendment and has validly executed and delivered this Amendment. This Amendment constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower and each Guarantor, enforceable against the Borrower and each Guarantor in accordance with its terms,
subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

(c)    No material consent, approval, authorization or other action by, notice to, or registration or filing with, any

hereof as though made on and as of such date (other than any such representations or warranties that, by their terms, refer to a specific date, in which case as of such specific date). 

(e)    No Default or event which, with the giving of notice, the lapse of time or both, would constitute a Default shall
exist after giving effect to this Amendment.

Documents, as specifically amended by this Amendment, are and shall continue to be in full force and effect according to their respective terms and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the
amendments contained herein do not constitute a novation of the Existing Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents or the indebtedness or any other obligation of the Borrower and the Guarantors described therein and shall not, in any case,
affect, diminish or abrogate the Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s liability under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document. 

(b)    The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate
as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Bank or the Administrative Agent under any of the Credit Documents, nor constitute a waiver of, consent to a departure from, or modification of any other term, covenant, provision or condition set
forth in any of the Credit Documents.

with the conditions specified in Section 4, each Bank that has signed this Amendment shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required hereunder to be

parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or
in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

written, relating to the subject matter hereof. No promise, condition, representation or warranty, express or implied, not set forth in the Relevant Documents shall bind any party hereto, and no such party has relied on any such promise, condition,
representation or warranty. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that, except as otherwise expressly stated in the Relevant Documents, no representations, warranties or commitments, express or implied, have been made by any party to the other
