 AGREEMENT

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan
Agreement. 
 2. Amendments to Loan Agreement. 

2.1 Section 2.4(b) (Termination Fee). Section 2.4(b) is amended in its entirety and replaced with the following: 

(b) [Reserved]. 

  
 1 








 2.2 Section 2.4(c) (Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee). Section 2.4(c) is
amended in its entirety and replaced with the following: 
 (c) Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee. Payable monthly in arrears, on the
last day of each month occurring thereafter prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date, and on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, a fee (the “Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee”) in an amount equal to four-tenths of one percent
(0.40%) per annum of the average unused portion of the Revolving Line, as determined by Bank; provided that during a Quarterly Streamline Period or a Monthly Streamline Period, such fee shall be reduced to one-quarter of one percent
(0.25%) per annum of the average unused portion of the Revolving Line, as determined by Bank. The unused portion of the Revolving Line, for purposes of this calculation, shall be calculated on a calendar year basis and shall equal the
difference between (i) the Revolving Line (including, without limitation, the Non-formula Availability Amount), and (ii) the average for the period of the daily closing balance of the Revolving Line outstanding plus the sum of the
aggregate amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any Letter of Credit Reserve); 

2.3 Section 6.6 (Access to Collateral; Books and Records). Section 6.6 is amended in its entirety and replaced with the
following: 
 6.6 Access to Collateral; Books and Records. At reasonable times, on five (5) Business Days’ notice (provided
no notice is required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), Bank, or its agents, shall have the right to inspect the Collateral and the right to audit and copy Borrower’s Books. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be
conducted at Borrower’s expense and shall occur no more often than once every twelve (12) months (or more frequently as Bank shall determine is necessary); provided, that no such inspections and audits shall be conducted
while a Streamline Period remains in effect. The charge for each such inspection/audit shall be $850 per person per day (or such higher amount as shall represent Bank’s then-current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses. In the event Borrower and Bank schedule an audit more than ten (10) days in advance, and Borrower cancels or seeks to or reschedules the audit with less than ten (10) days written notice to Bank, then (without limiting any of
Bank’s rights or remedies) Borrower shall pay Bank a fee of $1,000 plus any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Bank to compensate Bank for the anticipated costs and expenses of the cancellation or rescheduling.

Account at or with any bank or financial institution other than Bank or Bank’s Affiliates. For each Collateral Account located in the United States that Borrower at any time maintains, Borrower shall cause the applicable bank or financial
institution (other than Bank) at or with which any such Collateral Account, is maintained to execute and deliver a Control Agreement or other appropriate instrument with respect to such Collateral Account to perfect Bank’s Lien in such
Collateral Account, in accordance with the terms hereunder which Control Agreement may not be terminated without the prior written consent of Bank. The provisions of the previous sentence shall not apply to deposit accounts (i) located outside
