 “(a) No actions,
suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority are pending or, to the knowledge of any Credit Party, threatened against or affecting any Credit Party or any Restricted Subsidiary (i) as to which there is a reasonable
possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve this
Agreement or the Transactions (other than “dead hand proxy put” actions, suits or proceedings that could not reasonably be expected to have Material Adverse Effect).” 

2. Conditions of Effectiveness. The effectiveness of this Amendment is subject to the conditions precedent that:

agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and previously disclosed to the Lenders; and 
 (c) the Administrative Agent shall
have received payment and/or reimbursement of the Administrative Agent’s and its affiliates’ reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, to the extent invoiced, reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative
Agent) in connection with the Credit Agreement, this Amendment and the other Loan Documents. 
 3. Representations and Warranties of the
Credit Parties. Each Credit Party hereby represents and warrants as follows: 
 (a) The execution, delivery and performance of this
Amendment and the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, are within such Credit Party’s organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and other action. This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by such
Credit Party and this Amendment and the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Credit Party and are enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with their 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, and requirements of
reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing. 
 (b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment and the Credit Agreement, as
amended hereby, (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except in each case as have been obtained or made 


  
 2 








 
and that are in full force and effect and except for filings required to perfect the Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents, (b) will not violate any Applicable Law applicable to such
Credit Party and its Restricted Subsidiaries, (c) will not conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which such Credit Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a
party or by which any of its properties may be bound or any Governmental Approval relating to such Person, which could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) will not result in the
creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of such Credit Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, other than Liens created under the Loan Documents or the ABL Credit Agreement, except, in the case of clauses (a) and (b) above,
where such breach or the failure to take such action could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c) As of
the date hereof and after giving effect to the terms of this Amendment, (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred that is continuing and (ii) the representations and warranties of (or made with respect to) such Credit Party set forth
in the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, and each Loan Document to which it is a party are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof (except to the extent that any such representation and warranty is stated to relate
to a specific earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date). 

4. Reference to and Effect on the Credit Agreement. 

(a) Upon the effectiveness hereof, each reference to the Credit Agreement in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall mean and be
a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby. This Amendment is a Loan Document and shall (unless expressly indicated herein or therein) be construed, administered, and applied, in accordance with all of the terms and provisions of the
Credit Agreement. 
 (b) Each Credit Party (i) agrees that this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby shall not limit or
diminish the obligations of any Credit Party arising under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, (ii) reaffirms its obligations under the Credit Agreement and each and every other Loan Document
to which it is a party (including, without limitation, each applicable Security Document), (iii) reaffirms all Liens on the Collateral which have been granted by it in favor of the Administrative Agent (for itself and the other Secured Parties)
pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, and (iv) acknowledges and agrees that, except as specifically modified above, the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents executed and/or delivered by it in connection therewith shall remain in full
force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed. Except with respect to the subject matter hereof, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement, the Loan Documents or any other documents, instruments and agreements executed and/or delivered in connection therewith. 

5. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York. 

6. Headings. Section headings in this Amendment are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part

 7. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto on
any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures delivered by facsimile or PDF shall have the same force and effect as manual signatures delivered

Amendment, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Credit Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury
