 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and benefits to be

	1.	Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement. 


 

	2.	Amendment to Credit Agreement. Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating clause (b) of the definition of “Change of Control” set forth therein so
it reads in its entirety as follows: 

 “(b) during any period of 12 consecutive months, a majority of the
members of the board of directors or other equivalent governing body of Holdings cease to be composed of individuals (i) who were members of that board or equivalent governing body on the first day of such period, (ii) whose election or
nomination to that board or equivalent governing body was approved by individuals referred to in clause (i) above constituting at the time of such election or nomination 







 
at least a majority of that board or equivalent governing body or (iii) whose election or nomination to that board or other equivalent governing body was approved by individuals referred to
in clauses (i) and (ii) above and this clause (iii) constituting at the time of such election or nomination at least a majority of that board or equivalent governing body; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any
individual nominated on behalf of any Permitted Holder shall not be deemed violative of this clause (b); or” 
  

	3.	Representations and Warranties.  

  

	 	a.	Each Loan Party hereby represents and warrants to the Agents and the Lenders that (a) all representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained in the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents are true and
correct in all material respects as of the date hereof, except to the extent that (i) such representations and warranties are qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language, in which case they
are true and correct in all respects (as so qualified by “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language) on and as of the date hereof, and (ii) such representations and warranties relate to an earlier date, in
which case they are true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent such representations and warranties are qualified as to “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language, in which case they are true
and correct in all respects (as so qualified by “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language)) on and as of such earlier date, and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would
result from the effectiveness of this Amendment. 

  

	 	b.	The transactions contemplated hereby are within such Loan Party’s corporate or other organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, membership, partnership or other necessary
action. The Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party, in each case as amended hereby, (i) has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party, and (ii) constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable 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. 

  

	4.	Miscellaneous. 

  

	 	a.	Except as amended hereby, all terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents remain in full force and effect. Without limiting the foregoing, the Loan Parties hereby acknowledge, confirm and
agree that the Security Documents and any and all Collateral previously pledged to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties shall continue to secure all applicable Obligations at any time and from time to time outstanding
under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as such Obligations have been amended pursuant to this Amendment. 

  

	 	b.	 This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an
original, but all of 



  
 2 









	 	
which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Amendment constitutes the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter of this Amendment and supersede any
and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by telecopy or other electronic image scan transmission (e.g.,
“pdf” or “tif” via e-mail) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.
