**UPBOUND GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(Unaudited)**

**Note 1 - Basis of Presentation** 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Upbound Group, Inc. included herein have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC's rules and regulations, although we believe the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. We suggest these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly our results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

***Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows - Correction of Error***

Subsequent to the issuance of our condensed consolidated financial statements reported on our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, the Company identified a presentation error within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows related to net originations and collections of customer cash advances for our recently acquired subsidiary, Bridge IT, Inc., which we determined was not material to our financial statements. In accordance with ASC topic 230 the Company determined net originations and collections of customer cash advances should be presented as an investing activity and not included in Changes in Receivables within net cash provided by operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. As a result, cash provided by operating activities and cash used in investing activities were both understated for the three months-ended March 31, 2025, and six months-ended June 30, 2025, by $10.2 million and $28.5 million, respectively. The presentation of net originations and collections of customer advances has been corrected in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months-ended September 30, 2025. Furthermore, this presentation error had no impact to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, or our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet reported within our Form 10-Qs for the periods-ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025.

***Reclassifications***

Certain reclassifications have been made to the reported amounts for prior periods to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on net earnings or earnings per share in any period. See Note 3 and Note 10 for further information.

***Use of Estimates***

In preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent losses and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In applying accounting principles, we must often make individual estimates and assumptions regarding expected outcomes or uncertainties. Our estimates, judgments and assumptions are continually evaluated based on available information and experience. However, uncertainties, including those related to recent macroeconomic trends or other factors, may affect certain estimates and assumptions inherent in the financial reporting process, which may impact reported amounts of assets and liabilities in future periods and cause actual results to differ from those estimates.

***Principles of Consolidation and Nature of Operations***

The financial statements included herein include the accounts of Upbound Group, Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to "Upbound Group, Inc." refer only to Upbound Group, Inc., the parent, and references to the "Company", "we," "us" and "our" refer to the consolidated business operations of Upbound Group and any or all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries. We currently report four operating segments: Acima, Rent-A-Center, Brigit and Mexico.

On January 31 2025, we established a new operating segment following the acquisition of Bridge IT, Inc. ("Brigit"). Please reference Note 2 for additional discussion of the acquisition. In addition we combined our Franchising segment with our Rent-A-Center segment. Financial information disclosed within this report has been recast for the related prior year period to reflect this change. Brigit's results of operations are reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations from January 31, 2025.

Our Acima segment, which primarily operates in the United States and Puerto Rico, generally offers the lease-to-own transaction to consumers who do not qualify for traditional financing through staffed or unstaffed kiosks located within third-

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)**

party retailer locations or other virtual options. In virtual locations, customers, either directly or with the assistance of a representative of the third-party retailer, initiate the lease-to-own transaction online in the retailers' locations using our virtual solutions.

Our Rent-A-Center segment primarily consists of company-owned lease-to-own stores in the United States and Puerto Rico that lease durable goods to customers on a lease-to-own basis. In addition, we offer merchandise on an installment sales basis in certain of our stores operating under the names "Get It Now" and "Home Choice" in the states of Minnesota and Wisconsin. The Rent-A-Center segment also includes franchising operations that offer the sale of rental merchandise to our franchisees, who in turn offer the merchandise to the general public for rent or purchase under lease-to-own agreements consistent with our company-owned lease-to-own stores. We also receive royalties of 3.0% to 6.0% of the franchisees' monthly gross revenues. Our Rent-A-Center segment operates through our company-owned and franchise stores, and e-commerce platforms through rentacenter.com, getitnowstores.com and homechoicestores.com.

Our Brigit segment, which operates in the United States, includes the operations of Bridge IT Inc., which was acquired on January 31, 2025 (the "Closing Date"). The Brigit segment, through mobile and web applications, offers various financial health products and tools to help users improve their financial health, such as Finance Helper, Earn and Save, Instant Cash, Credit Builder, Identity Theft Protection and more. These products and tools help customers budget better, improve financial literacy, find ways to earn and save money, access their earned wages before their regularly scheduled payday, build their credit through savings and protect themselves from identity theft.

Our Mexico segment consists of our company-owned stores in Mexico that lease durable goods to customers on a lease-to-own basis.

***Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements***

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to improve the transparency of the annual income tax disclosures by requiring specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation and disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. It also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. Adoption of ASU 2023-09 was required for us beginning January 1, 2025 for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. We will include required disclosures in our annual reporting period ending December 31, 2025 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2025 using a prospective approach.

**Note 2 - Acquisitions and Divestitures**

***Brigit Acquisition***

On December 12, 2024, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Fortuna Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), Brigit, and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, solely in its capacity as the representative, agent and attorney-in-fact of Brigit's securityholders, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Brigit (the "Merger"), with Brigit surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger with Brigit, a leading holistic financial health technology company, is intended to accelerate Upbound's strategy to provide technology-driven financial solutions to customers underserved by the traditional financial system. The Merger was completed for total purchase consideration of approximately $395.4 million comprised of stock, cash and other consideration described further below.

In accordance with the Merger Agreement, we issued to the security holders of Brigit (the "Brigit Securityholders") approximately 2.7 million shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Closing Stock Consideration"), with a value of $29.75 per share based on the volume-weighted average price of our common stock over the ten consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the trading day immediately prior to the Closing Date, and paid to them closing cash consideration of approximately $278.5 million ("Closing Cash Consideration"), excluding approximately $63.7 million in debt settlement payments and other transaction expenses.

We also entered into deferred cash award agreements with certain Brigit employees to replace their unvested Brigit stock options or unvested phantom awards, as applicable ("Replacement Awards"), each entitling the holder to receive an amount in cash upon vesting equal to the excess of the merger consideration per common shares over the exercise price of the original award. The maximum amount payable pursuant to the Replacement Awards, approximately $7.8 million, included in the Closing Cash Consideration described above, was escrowed on the Closing Date and recorded to Prepaid and other assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Replacement Awards are subject to vesting conditions that are substantially

**UPBOUND GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)**

**(Unaudited)**

similar to those of the original awards. They will be amortized over the remaining award vesting periods as compensation expense and recorded to other gains and charges in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we will also pay the Brigit Securityholders $75 million, payable in multiple installments ("Deferred Consideration"), $37.5 million of which will be payable 30 days following the first anniversary of the Closing Date and the remainder of which will be payable no later than 30 days following the second anniversary of the Closing Date. The payment of the Deferred Consideration is subject to acceleration if certain acceleration events specified in the Merger Agreement occur prior to the payment of the Deferred Consideration. The estimated fair value of the Deferred Consideration at the Closing Date was approximately $66.1 million, discounted to estimate the present value of the installment payments that will be made over a 2-year period as described above. The Brigit Securityholders may also receive up to $60 million in earnout payments based on the achievement of certain financial performance metrics for the Brigit business in 2026. The estimated fair value of the earnout payments at the Closing Date was approximately $10.6 million. The fair value of the earnout payments was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model based on our estimated long range cash flow projections for the Brigit business.

The portion of Closing Stock Consideration issued to Brigit's co-founders and certain of their respective affiliates (collectively, the "Co-Founders") included approximately 1.3 million shares, valued at $39.1 million, which are subject to certain vesting restrictions over a two-year period from the Closing Date and other limitations set forth in a restricted stock agreement entered into with each such Co-Founder. These shares are being recognized as stock-based compensation expense subject to ASC Topic 718, "Stock-based Compensation", over the required vesting period, and recorded to other gains and charges in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition have been recorded at their fair values. The following table provides the estimated fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

<sup>(1)</sup> Aggregate cash consideration excludes $7.8 million in Replacement Awards described above and $58.6 million in cash acquired, and includes cash paid to settle Brigit's outstanding debt and loan balances and other transaction expenses of $63.7 million, and post-closing net working capital adjustments of $1.7 million.

<sup>(2)</sup> Aggregate stock consideration excludes approximately 1.3 million shares valued at approximately $39.1 million subject to certain vesting restrictions, as described further above.

<sup>(3)</sup> Includes the fair value of Deferred Consideration and earnout payments described above, which were not included in Closing Cash Consideration paid at the time of closing but will be paid out in future periods based on the terms of the Merger Agreement.

<sup>(4)</sup> Includes gross contractual receivables of $43.8 million related to customer cash advances, of which $4.5 million were estimated to be uncollectible as of the Closing Date.

The carrying values for certain assets and liabilities assumed as part of the acquisition, including receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities were considered equivalent to and recorded as fair value, as of the date of acquisition, due to the short term nature of these balances. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities were recorded as the discounted value of future obligations in accordance with ASC Topic 842, "Leases". The fair value measurements for

------

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)**

**(Unaudited)**

acquired intangible assets and developed technology were primarily based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) developed using company-specific information. Certain fair values were determined based on an independent valuation of the net assets acquired, including $152.3 million of identifiable intangible assets with an estimated weighted average useful life of nine years, as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Asset Class** | **Estimated Fair Value<br>(in thousands)** | **Estimated Remaining Useful Life (in years)** |
| Customer contracts | $144500 | 10 |
| Trade name | 7800 | 7 |

---

Developed technology, included in Property assets, net, in line with our accounting policies, was also acquired with a value of $65.1 million and an estimated remaining useful life of seven years. The fair value for these intangible and property assets were estimated using common industry valuation methods for similar asset types, including the relief-from-royalty, excess earnings and replacement cost methods based primarily on the Company's cost inputs and projected cash flows.

In addition, we recorded goodwill of $196.9 million in our Brigit operating segment, which consists of the excess of the net purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill represents expected cost and revenue synergies and other benefits expected to result within our financial health business from the acquisition of Brigit.

Brigit's results of operations are reflected in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations from the Closing Date.

In the second quarter of 2025, we recorded adjustments to certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to post-closing updates in net working capital and adjustments to deferred income taxes resulting in an overall decrease to goodwill of approximately $1.3 million. Although we do not anticipate additional adjustments to the above values, we are still in the process of finalizing our assessments of the purchase price allocation and will record any additional necessary adjustments to acquired assets and liabilities within the allowable measurement period.

In connection with this acquisition, we have incurred approximately $10.3 million in acquisition-related expenses including expenses related to legal, professional, and banking transaction fees, of which $6.7 million was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. These costs were included in other gains and charges in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following unaudited pro forma combined results of operations present our financial results as if the acquisition of Brigit had been completed on January 1, 2024. These unaudited pro forma results may not necessarily reflect the actual results of operations that would have been achieved, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results of operations.

We received cash consideration of approximately $19.1 million, including approximately $0.6 million related to franchise fees. The sale included on rent and held for rent inventory of approximately $13.0 million, property assets of approximately $2.0 million, and prorated rent and other miscellaneous expenses of $0.4 million, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $3.1 million. The gain on sale was recorded to non-labor operating expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

***Lease Purchase Agreements***

*Rentals and Fees.* Rental merchandise is leased to customers pursuant to lease-to-own agreements, which provide for weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly or monthly terms with non-refundable lease payments. At the expiration of each lease term, customers may renew the lease-to-own agreement for the next lease term. The customer has the right to acquire title of the merchandise either through an early purchase option or through payment of all optional lease renewal terms. Customers can terminate the lease-to-own agreement and return the product at the end of any lease term without penalty. Therefore, lease-to-own agreements are accounted for as operating leases.

Lease payments received at our company-owned Rent-A-Center stores, certain Acima locations formerly operating under the Acceptance Now brand, and Mexico stores must be prepaid in advance of the next lease renewal term. Under the Acima Holdings business model, in certain cases revenues may be earned prior to the lease payment due date, in which case revenue is accrued prior to receipt of the lease payment, net of estimated returns and uncollectible renewal payments. Under both models, rental revenue is recognized over the lease term. See Note 4 for additional information regarding accrued lease revenue.

Cash received for rental payments, including fees, prior to the period in which it should be recognized, is deferred and recognized according to the lease term. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $57.5 million and $61.6 million, respectively, in deferred revenue included in accrued liabilities related to our lease-to-own agreements. Revenues related to various payments, reinstatement or late fees are recognized when paid by the customer at the point service is provided. Rental merchandise in our company-owned Rent-A-Center stores, certain Acima locations formerly operating under the Acceptance Now brand, and Mexico stores is depreciated using the income forecasting method and recognized in cost of rentals and fees in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over the lease term. Lease merchandise under Acima Holdings is depreciated over the lease term using a straight-line depreciation method. Under the income forecasting method, the consumption of lease merchandise occurs during periods of rental and depreciation directly coincides with the receipt of rental revenue over the lease-to-own contract period. Depreciation under the straight-line method is recognized each period over the term of the lease-to-own contract irrespective of receipt of revenue payments from the customer.

We also offer additional optional product plans along with our lease-to-own agreements which provide customers with liability protection against significant damage or loss of a product, and club membership benefits, including various discount programs and product service and replacement benefits in the event merchandise is damaged or lost, and payment waivers in the event eligible customers become unemployed. Customers renew product plans in conjunction with their lease term renewals, and can cancel the plans at any time. Revenue for product plans is recognized over the term of the plan. Costs incurred related to product plans are primarily recognized in cost of revenues.

***Revenue from contracts with customers***

*Merchandise Sales.* Revenue for merchandise sales is recognized when payment is received and ownership of the merchandise passes to the customer. Merchandise sales include payments received for the exercise of the early purchase options offered through our lease-to-own agreements or merchandise sold through point-of-sale transactions. The remaining net value of lease merchandise sold is recorded to cost of merchandise sold at the time of the transaction. Revenue from the sale of lease merchandise to our franchisees is recognized upon shipment of the merchandise to the franchisee (previously reported in franchise merchandise sales in prior periods).

Revenue from the sale of merchandise in our retail installment stores is recognized when the installment note is signed and control of the merchandise has passed to the customer (previously reported in installment sales revenue in prior periods). The cost of merchandise sold through installment agreements is recognized at the time of the transaction. We offer optional extended service plans with our installment agreements which are administered by third parties and provide customers with product maintenance beyond the term of the installment agreement. Payments received for extended service plans are deferred and recognized, net of related costs, when the installment payment plan is complete and the service plan goes into effect. Customers can cancel extended service plans at any time during the installment agreement period and receive a refund for

**(Unaudited)**

payments previously made towards the plan. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the amount of deferred revenue included in accrued liabilities related to extended service plans was inconsequential to our financial statements.

*Subscriptions and fees.* Subscription payments in our Brigit segment are received on a monthly basis from customers who upgrade to a Plus or Premium subscription tier via the Brigit mobile application and/or web browser. Depending on the optional subscription tier, the customer gains access to some or all of the following services: Credit Monitoring, Credit Builder, Identity Theft Protection, and Instant Cash. This payment can range based on a variety of factors and higher cost tiers generally offer additional services. Brigit continually fulfills obligations to each customer over the subscription term. The series of distinct services represent a single performance obligation that is satisfied over time. We recognize revenue ratably as the customer receives and consumes the benefits of the platform throughout the monthly contract period. Price concessions are granted to customers who have insufficient funds and are unable to make subscription payments when they are due.

We also receive payments from customers who request their cash advance be delivered faster. Such expedited transfer fee payments from customers are recognized as revenue over the expected term of the associated customer cash advance. We also serve offers from our marketplace partners' products and services in our Earn & Save section of our mobile application. We receive a payment based on contractual terms, generally on the basis of customer traffic or conversions brought to such products or services. Marketplace revenues are recognized as customer traffic is added and conversions to the marketplace partners' products and services occur.

*Other.* Other revenue primarily consists of franchise royalties, including franchisee contributions to corporate advertising funds, which represent sales-based royalties calculated as a percentage of gross rental payments and sales (previously reported in royalty income and fees in prior periods). Royalty revenue is accrued and recognized as lease payments and merchandise sales occur. Franchise fees are initial fees charged to franchisees for new or converted franchise stores. Franchise fee revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the franchise agreement. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $1.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively, in deferred revenue included in accrued liabilities related to franchise fees.

Other revenue also includes revenues generated by other miscellaneous product plans offered to our lease-to-own and installment customers. Revenue for other product plans is recognized in accordance with the terms of the applicable plan agreement.

**Note 4 - Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts** 

Trade and notes receivables consist of amounts due from our lease-to-own customers for lease renewal payments and past due uncollected lease payments, adjusted for the probability of collection based on our assessment of historical collection rates and length of time the receivable is past due; amounts owed from our franchisees for inventory purchases, earned royalties and other obligations; and other corporate related receivables. Credit is extended to franchisees based on an evaluation of each franchisee's financial condition and collateral is generally not required. Trade receivables are generally due within 30 days.

Installment sales receivables consist primarily of receivables due from customers for the sale of merchandise in our retail installment stores. Installment sales receivables associated with the sale of merchandise at our Get It Now and Home Choice stores generally consist of the sales price of the merchandise purchased and any additional fees for optional services the customer has chosen, less the customer's down payment. No interest is accrued and interest income is recognized each time a customer makes a payment, generally on a monthly basis. Interest payments received on installment agreements for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $7.3 million and $7.9 million, respectively, included in our merchandise sales revenue in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Customer cash advances consist of earned wage access advances provided to Brigit customers when requested. By leveraging cash flow information from the customer's bank account as well as customer verified income information, Brigit's algorithm assesses their earned income and ability to repay, with no FICO needed and no impact on credit scores. Brigit's algorithms also predict when a customer may fall short and can automatically send advances to the customers' account if they choose. Generally customers repay cash advances shortly after they receive their next paycheck.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts | $203155 | $156438 |

---

<sup>(1)</sup> Trade and notes receivables includes accrued revenue, adjusted for the probability of collection, related to our lease-to-own agreements of $58.7 million and $51.1 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, including $55.2 million and $46.6 million related to lease-to-own agreements for Acima Holdings and $3.0 million and $3.6 million related to lease-to-own agreements for Rent-A-Center at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

<sup>(2)</sup> Lease receivables are accrued on a net basis, adjusted for the probability of collection based on our assessment of historical collection rates, as described above. Therefore, we do not maintain a separate allowance for doubtful accounts related to our lease receivables.

The allowance for our franchising trade and notes receivables is determined by considering a number of factors, including the length of time receivables are past due, previous loss history, the franchisee's current ability to pay its obligation, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. Trade receivables that are more than 90 days past due are either written-off or fully reserved in our allowance for doubtful accounts. Payments subsequently received on such receivables are recognized as contra-bad debt expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We have established an allowance for doubtful accounts for our installment notes receivable. Our policy for determining the allowance is primarily based on historical loss experience, as well as the results of management's review and analysis of the payment and collection of the installment notes receivable within the previous year. Our allowance is adequate to absorb all expected losses. Our policy is to charge off installment notes receivable that are 120 days or more past due. Charge-offs are applied as a reduction to the allowance for doubtful accounts and any recoveries of previously charged off balances are recognized as contra-bad debt expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We estimate the allowance for customer cash advance losses based on a number of factors, including the length of time receivables are past due, previous loss history and current economic conditions. The allowance for credit losses is recognized upon origination of customer cash advances. Customer cash advances are deemed not collectible after 45 days beyond the due date and are charged-off as a reduction to the allowance for doubtful accounts and any recoveries of previously charged off balances are recognized as contra-bad debt expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The allowance for doubtful accounts related to franchising trade and notes receivables was $13.1 million and $2.2 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, the allowance for doubtful accounts related to installment sales receivables was $11.1 million at both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and the allowance for doubtful accounts related to Brigit customer cash advances was $5.9 million at September 30, 2025.

Changes in our allowance for doubtful accounts are as follows:

| Ending allowance for doubtful accounts | $30078 |

<sup>(1)</sup> Uncollectible installment payments, franchisee obligations, customer cash advances and other corporate receivables are recognized in non-labor operating expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

**Note 5 - Income Taxes** 

The effective tax rate was 31.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 24.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to non-deductible expenses related to the Brigit acquisition.

On July 4, 2025 the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBB") was signed into law. The OBBB contains a broad range of tax reform provisions, including the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation and the immediate expensing of domestic R&D under the new § 174A of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result of the enactment of OBBB, the acceleration of certain expenses for tax purposes resulted in an increase to the deferred tax liability with a corresponding increase to income tax receivable as of September 30, 2025. The provisions of OBBB did not have a material impact to our tax expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025, but are expected to have a favorable impact on our cash taxes in 2025.

**Note 6 - Senior Debt**

On February 17, 2021, we entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and lenders party thereto, providing for a seven-year $875 million senior secured term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility"), as amended on September 21, 2021, June 15, 2023, May 28, 2024 and August 19, 2025, and an Asset Based Loan Credit Facility (the "ABL Credit Facility"), as amended August 10, 2022, June 7, 2024 and August 29, 2025, providing for a five-year asset-based revolving credit facility with commitments of $550 million and a letter of credit sublimit of $150 million. Commitments under the ABL Credit Facility may be increased, at our option and under certain conditions, by up to an additional $125 million in the aggregate.

On May 28, 2024 we entered into a Third Amendment to the Term Loan Facility, effective as of May 28, 2024. The amendment, in addition to certain other changes, effected a repricing of the applicable margin under the Term Loan Facility by reducing the applicable margin, with respect to any initial term loans, by 50 basis points from 3.25% to 2.75% and removing the credit spread adjustment that was previously included in the calculation of the adjusted Term SOFR rate for term benchmark loans.

On June 7, 2024, we entered into a Second Amendment to the ABL Credit Facility, effective as of June 7, 2024. The amendment, in addition to certain other changes, extended the maturity date for loans outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility to June 7, 2029 (subject to certain springing maturity provisions).

On August 19, 2025 we entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Term Loan Facility, effective as of August 19, 2025. The amendment, in addition to certain other changes, (i) extended the maturity date for the loans outstanding under the Term Loan Facility to August 19, 2032 (subject to certain springing maturity provisions) and (ii) provided approximately $77 million of incremental commitments under the Term Loan Facility, all of which were drawn on August 19, 2025, resulting in total aggregate borrowings under the Term Loan Facility on such date of $875 million. Proceeds from the Term Loan Facility were net of original issue discount of $4.4 million upon issuance from the lenders.

On August 29, 2025 we entered into a Third Amendment to the ABL Credit Facility, effective as of August 29, 2025. The amendment provided for certain changes to the covenants applicable to the ABL Credit Facility.

In connection with the execution of the Second Amendment to the ABL Credit Facility, we incurred approximately $3.2 million in debt issuance costs, including third-party arrangement and other professional fees, which were capitalized and recorded as a reduction to our outstanding senior debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, in accordance with ASC Topic 470, "Debt", we recorded approximately $0.4 million in write-offs of unamortized debt issuance costs previously capitalized upon the issuance of the ABL Credit Facility on February 17, 2021. The write-offs were recorded as debt refinance charges in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In connection with the execution of the Fourth Amendment to the Term Loan Facility and Third Amendment to the ABL Credit Facility, we incurred approximately $4.2 million in debt issuance costs, including third-party arrangement and other professional fees, of which approximately $4.0 million were expensed as debt refinance charges in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and approximately $0.2 million were capitalized and recorded as a reduction to our outstanding senior debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, in accordance with ASC Topic 470, "Debt", we recorded approximately $0.9 million in write-offs of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount previously capitalized upon the Third Amendment to the Term Loan Facility on May 28, 2024. The write-offs were recorded as debt refinance charges in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of September 30, 2025, the total remaining balances of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount related to our senior debt reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were approximately $6.6 million and $4.7 million, respectively. Remaining unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining terms of the ABL Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility.

We had $239.0 million outstanding borrowings under our ABL Credit Facility at September 30, 2025 and borrowing capacity of $257.0 million, net of issued letters of credit of approximately $54.0 million. The amount outstanding under the Term Loan Facility was $875.0 million at September 30, 2025.

***ABL Credit Facility***

The ABL Credit Facility will mature on June 7, 2029 (subject to certain springing maturity provisions). We may borrow only up to the lesser of the level of the then-current borrowing base and the aggregate amount of commitments under the ABL Credit Facility. The borrowing base is tied to the amount of eligible installment sales accounts, inventory and eligible lease contracts, reduced by certain reserves.

The ABL Credit Facility bears interest at a fluctuating rate determined by reference to an adjusted Term SOFR rate plus an applicable margin of 1.50% to 2.00%. The total interest rate on the ABL Credit Facility at September 30, 2025 was 6.28%, including an applicable margin of 2.00%. A commitment fee equal to 0.250% to 0.375% of the unused portion of the ABL Credit Facility fluctuates dependent upon average utilization for the prior month as defined by a pricing grid included in the governing documents of the ABL Credit Facility. The commitment fee at September 30, 2025 was 0.250%. We paid $0.3 million of commitment fees during the third quarter of 2025.

Loans under the ABL Credit Facility may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed until June 7, 2029, at which time all amounts borrowed must be repaid. The obligations under the ABL Credit Facility are guaranteed by us and certain of our material wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. The obligations under the ABL Credit Facility and such guarantees are secured on a first-priority basis by all of our and our subsidiary guarantors' accounts, inventory, deposit accounts, securities accounts, cash and cash equivalents, rental agreements, general intangibles (other than equity interests in our subsidiaries), chattel paper, instruments, documents, letter of credit rights, commercial tort claims related to the foregoing and other related assets and all proceeds thereof related to the foregoing, subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions (such assets, collectively, the "ABL Priority Collateral") and a second-priority basis in substantially all other present and future tangible and intangible personal property of ours and the subsidiary guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.

The ABL Credit Facility contains covenants that are usual and customary for similar facilities and transactions and that, among other things, restrict our ability and our restricted subsidiaries' ability to create certain liens and enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions; create, assume, incur or guarantee certain indebtedness; consolidate or merge with, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our and our restricted subsidiaries' assets, to another person; pay dividends or make other distributions on, or repurchase or redeem, our capital stock or certain other debt; and make other restricted payments.

The governing documents of the ABL Credit Facility provide for customary events of default, including, but not limited to, failure to pay principal and interest, failure to comply with covenants, agreements or conditions, and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency involving us and our significant subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all requirements and conditions set forth in our ABL Credit Facility governing documents.

***Term Loan Facility***

The Term Loan Facility, which matures on August 19, 2032 (subject to certain springing maturity provisions), amortizes in equal quarterly installments at a rate of 1.00% per annum of the original principal amount thereof, with the remaining balance due at final maturity. Subject in each case to certain restrictions and conditions, we may add up to $625 million (plus additional amounts subject to satisfaction of certain financial ratios) of incremental term loan facilities to the Term Loan Facility or utilize incremental capacity under the Term Loan Facility at any time by issuing or incurring incremental equivalent term debt.

Interest on borrowings under the Term Loan Facility is payable at a fluctuating rate of interest determined by reference to the Term SOFR rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75%, subject to a 0.50% Term SOFR floor. The total interest rate on the Term Loan Facility was 6.88% at September 30, 2025.

The Term Loan Facility is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of our present and future tangible and intangible personal property, including our subsidiary guarantors, other than the ABL Priority Collateral (as defined below), and by a second-priority security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral, subject to certain exceptions. The obligations under the Term Loan Facility are guaranteed by us and our material wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries that also guarantee the ABL Credit Facility.

The Term Loan Facility contains covenants that are usual and customary for similar facilities and transactions and that, among other things, restrict our ability and our restricted subsidiaries' ability to create certain liens and enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions; create, assume, incur or guarantee certain indebtedness; consolidate or merge with, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our and our restricted subsidiaries' assets, to another person; pay dividends or make other distributions on, or repurchase or redeem, our capital stock or certain other debt; and make other restricted payments. The Term Loan Facility also includes mandatory prepayment requirements related to asset sales (subject to reinvestment), and debt incurrence (other than permitted debt), subject to certain limitations described therein. These covenants are subject to a number of limitations and exceptions set forth in the governing documents of the Term Loan Facility.

<sup>(1)</sup> Annual installment requirements were reduced by the amount of the excess cash flow payments made in 2023, in accordance with the terms of the credit agreement governing the Term Loan Facility.

**Note 7 - Senior Notes**

On February 17, 2021, we issued $450 million in senior unsecured notes all of which are due February 15, 2029, at par value, bearing interest at 6.375% (the "Notes"), the proceeds of which were used to fund a portion of the consideration upon closing of the Acima Holdings acquisition. Interest on the Notes is payable in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, we incurred approximately $15.7 million in debt issuance costs, including bank financing fees and third party legal and other professional fees, which were capitalized in accordance with ASC Topic 470, "Debt" and recorded as a reduction of our outstanding Notes in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Debt issuance costs are amortized as interest expense over the term of the Notes. As of September 30, 2025, the total remaining balance of unamortized debt issuance costs related to our Notes reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was approximately $6.6 million.

We may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time for cash at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. If we experience specific kinds of change in control, we will be required to offer to purchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The Notes are our general unsecured senior obligations, and are effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness, structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, equal in right of payment to all of our and our guarantor subsidiaries' existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of our future subordinated indebtedness, if any. The Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of our domestic subsidiaries that have outstanding indebtedness or guarantee other specified indebtedness, including the ABL Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility.

The indenture governing the Notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, our ability and the ability of some of our restricted subsidiaries to create liens, transfer or sell assets, incur indebtedness or issue certain preferred stock, pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions, make other restricted payments or investments, create restrictions on payment of dividends or other amounts to us by our restricted subsidiaries, merge or consolidate with other entities, engage in certain transactions with affiliates and designate our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications. The covenants limiting restricted payments, restrictions on payment of dividends or other amounts to us by our restricted subsidiaries, the ability to incur indebtedness, asset dispositions and transactions with affiliates will be suspended if and while the Notes have investment grade ratings from any two of Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Fitch, Inc.

The indenture governing the Notes also provides for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, and interest on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable.

**Note 8 - Fair Value** 

We follow a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which classifies the inputs used in measuring fair values, in determining the fair value of our non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, which consist primarily of goodwill. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, borrowings against our ABL Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility, and outstanding Notes. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables approximates fair value at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, because of the short maturities of these instruments. In addition, the interest rates on our Term Loan Facility and ABL Credit Facility are variable and, therefore, we believe the carrying value of outstanding borrowings approximates their fair value.

The fair value of our Notes is based on Level 1 inputs and was as follows at September 30, 2025:

**Note 9 - Other Gains and Charges**

*Acima Holdings Acquisition.* On February 17, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Acima Holdings, a leading provider of virtual lease-to-own solutions. Included in the aggregate consideration issued to the former owners of Acima Holdings were 8,096,595 common shares, valued at $414.1 million, subject to 36-month vesting conditions under restricted stock agreements, which were recognized over the vesting term as stock compensation expense, in accordance with ASC Topic 718, "Stock-based Compensation". During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized approximately $4.9 million in stock compensation expense, related to these restricted stock agreements. See Note 11 for additional information. These restricted stock agreements were fully vested as of March 31, 2024. Stock-based compensation expense is reported under our Corporate segment.

The fair value of assets acquired as part of the transaction included $520 million in intangible assets and $170 million in developed technology. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recognized approximately $32.8 million and $34.5 million in amortization expense, respectively, related to acquired intangible assets. We also recognized approximately $11.9 million in incremental depreciation expense related to acquired technology assets during both the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Depreciation expense for technology assets is reported under our Corporate segment.

*Brigit Acquisition.* As described in Note 2, on January 31, 2025, we completed the acquisition of Brigit, a leading holistic financial health technology company. Included in the aggregate consideration issued to the former owners of Brigit were 1,313,331 shares, valued at $39.1 million, issued under restricted stock agreements and subject to vesting conditions, will be recognized as stock compensation expense over the vesting term, in accordance with ASC Topic 718, "Stock-based Compensation". During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized approximately $15.6 million in stock compensation expense related to these restricted stock agreements, in addition to $10.6 million related to Brigit's Replacement Awards and other agreement compensation. Stock-based and other acquisition-related compensation expense associated with the Brigit acquisition is reported under our Corporate segment. See Note 2 and Note 11 for additional information.

The fair value of assets acquired as part of the transaction included $152.3 million in intangible assets and $65.1 million in developed technology. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized approximately $10.4 million in amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets. We also recognized approximately $6.2 million in incremental depreciation expense related to acquired technology assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Depreciation expense for technology assets is reported under our Corporate segment.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized approximately $6.7 million in transaction costs associated with the closing of the transaction.

*Legal Matters.* As disclosed further in Note 12 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and as previously disclosed, we are currently party to a filed regulatory lawsuit with the New York Attorney General, as well as a multistate regulatory investigation by attorneys' general offices from forty states, neither of which we believe are representative of historical regulatory matters that arise in the ordinary course of our business. These matters relate to lease-to-own transactions for our

**UPBOUND GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)**

**(Unaudited)**

Acima subsidiary, which was acquired in 2021. We are also party to a certified class action brought on behalf of certain individuals who entered into rental purchase agreements and paid certain fees with the Company's former Acceptance Now business in the state of California, and a patent infringement lawsuit. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded estimated legal accruals of $50.6 million and $8.2 million, respectively, based on the then-current status of our legal matters, including the foregoing matters, and incurred related litigation and defense expenses of $5.2 million and $3.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Legal accruals for litigation matters and related defense expenses are reported under our Corporate segment. We will continue to evaluate and modify our estimated legal accruals as appropriate in future periods based on future developments.

*Stock Award Letter Agreement.* On April 3, 2024, we entered into a letter agreement with the Company's former Chief Executive Officer as disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated as of April 5, 2024. The terms of the letter agreement included special provisions for his outstanding restricted stock awards vesting at various times through February 2027, which resulted in the acceleration of stock compensation expense for those awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, "Stock-based Compensation". Accelerated stock compensation expense recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 due to this letter agreement was approximately $1.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is reported under our Corporate segment.

*Refranchised Store Closures*. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, certain refranchised stores for which we remained liable under the existing store and vehicle lease agreements were closed resulting in pre-tax lease impairment charges to write-off the remaining right-of-use asset of $11.6 million and $1.3 million in other miscellaneous shutdown and holding costs. Impairment charges and other expenses for these refranchised store closures are reported under our Rent-A-Center segment.

*Store Consolidations*. During the first half of 2024, we closed 55 Rent-A-Center stores, resulting in pre-tax charges of $5.3 million in lease impairment charges, $0.6 million in disposal of fixed assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Other miscellaneous shutdown and holding costs incurred were $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

*Internally Developed Software Depreciation.* During the third quarter of 2023, we completed initial development and began pilot testing a new internally developed point-of-sale system for our Rent-A-Center lease-to-own stores. Deployment of the new system across our lease-to-own store network began in the second quarter of 2024 and was completed in the third quarter of 2024, at which time our existing point-of-sale software was retired. Therefore, in the third quarter of 2023, we accelerated the remaining useful lives of our existing point-of-sale software assets to align with the deployment timeline of our new point-of-sale system, which resulted in the recognition of additional depreciation expense of $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Depreciation expense for internally developed software is reported under our Corporate segment.

**Note 11 - Common Stock and Stock-Based Compensation** 

***Stock Repurchase Program***

In early December 2021, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $500 million (the "December 2021 Program"), which superseded our previous stock repurchase program. Under the December 2021 Program, we may purchase shares of our common stock from time to time in the open market or privately negotiated transactions. We are not obligated to acquire any shares under the program, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. There were no repurchases of our common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Approximately $235.0 million remains available for repurchases under the current authorization at September 30, 2025.

***Stock Based Compensation***

We recognized $5.3 million and $5.9 million in compensation expense related to stock awards issued under the Upbound Group, Inc. Amended 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2021 Plan") and 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan") during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $17.9 million and $19.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we granted 757,704 market-based performance units and 819,580 time-vesting units under the 2021 Plan. Performance-based restricted stock units are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. Time-vesting restricted stock units are valued based on our closing stock price on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the grant, or as of the date of modification in the event an award is modified. The weighted-average grant date fair value of the market-based performance and time-vesting restricted stock units granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $27.09 and $26.61, respectively.

In connection with the acquisition of Acima Holdings in 2021, we issued to the former owners of Acima Holdings 10,779,923 of common shares valued at $51.14 per share, as of the date of closing. Of this total, 2,683,328 common shares were included in the aggregate purchase price of the transaction for financial reporting purposes, while 8,096,595 common shares, valued at $414.1 million, issued under restricted stock agreements and subject to vesting conditions, were recognized as stock compensation expense over the vesting term in accordance with ASC Topic 718, "Stock-based Compensation" and recorded to other gains and charges in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We recognized $4.9 million in stock compensation expense related to these restricted stock agreements during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. These restricted stock agreements were fully vested during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

As described in Note 2, in connection with the acquisition of Brigit on January 31, 2025, we issued to the former owners of Brigit approximately 2.7 million common shares valued at $29.75 per share, as of the Closing Date. Of this total, 1,313,331 common shares, valued at approximately $39.1 million, issued under restricted stock agreements and subject to vesting conditions, will be recognized as stock compensation expense over the vesting term in accordance with ASC Topic 718, "Stock-based Compensation". We recognized $5.1 million and $15.6 million in stock compensation expense related to these restricted stock agreements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, recorded to other gains and charges in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On April 3, 2024, we entered into a letter agreement with the Company's former Chief Executive Officer as disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated as of April 5, 2024. The terms of the letter agreement included special provisions for his outstanding restricted stock awards vesting at various times through February 2027, which resulted in the acceleration of stock compensation expense for those awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718, "Stock-based Compensation". Accelerated stock compensation expense recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 due to this letter agreement was approximately $1.6 million and $3.4 million, respectively, and was recorded to other gains and charges in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)**

**Note 12 - Contingencies** 

Given the nature of our businesses and the heavily regulated industries in which we operate, we, along with our subsidiaries, are party to various legal proceedings and governmental inquiries and investigations. Certain legal proceedings and governmental inquiries and investigations involving us or our subsidiaries are described below. In addition to the matters described below, we are also party to other legal proceedings and governmental inquiries and investigations involving us or our subsidiaries that we believe, based on our current knowledge, will not have a material adverse effect on our business or our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or liquidity, including arbitrations, litigation, putative class actions and other matters alleging various types of claims, including those based on consumer regulatory, contract, labor and employment and other alleged claims. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in such matters, including the fact that some pending legal proceedings are at preliminary stages or seek an indeterminate amount of damages, penalties, fines or other relief, it is possible that the outcome of one or more legal proceedings could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

We regularly monitor developments related to our legal proceedings and governmental inquiries and investigations, determine whether a reserve is appropriate if the loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, and review the adequacy of our reserves for such matters on a quarterly basis. As a result, we do not have reserves for all matters with respect to which we may or will have future liability, and no assurance can be given that our reserves, when recorded, will be adequate to cover the full amount of any loss we may ultimately incur. In addition, certain of these matters involve demands for monetary relief and changes to our business practices that could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations were we to agree to them as part of a settlement or be subject to them following an adverse result in litigation.

At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had estimated legal accruals of $61.3 million and $20.7 million, respectively, included in accrued liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for pending legal and regulatory matters for which we believe losses are probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. However, as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other than with respect to the pending class settlement payment amount in the McBurnie litigation described below, we cannot predict the ultimate resolution of our pending legal proceedings, governmental inquiries and investigations (which include, but are not limited to, the matters discussed below) and, therefore, are unable to estimate a range of losses related to these matters that may be reasonably possible to occur. In addition to our estimated legal accruals, as of September 30, 2025 we have incurred legal and other related expenses, and expect to incur substantial additional legal and related expenses, associated with the litigation and investigations discussed below and other pending legal matters.

*Unclaimed Property.* We are subject to unclaimed property audits by states in the ordinary course of business. The property subject to review in the audit process includes unclaimed wages, vendor payments and customer refunds. State escheat laws generally require entities to report and remit abandoned and unclaimed property to the state. Failure to timely report and remit the property can result in assessments that could include interest and penalties, in addition to the payment of the escheat liability itself. We routinely remit escheat payments to states and believe we are in compliance with applicable escheat laws.

*Multistate Attorneys' General Investigation.* In November 2021, Acima received a letter from the Nebraska Attorney General's office stating that the Attorney General of Nebraska, along with a coalition of thirty-eight state Attorneys General, initiated a multistate investigation into the business acts and practices of Acima and that a civil investigative demand(s) and/or subpoena(s) pursuant to respective state consumer protection laws will be forthcoming. Since receiving the letter, we have held multiple discussions and attended meetings with officials at many of the applicable attorneys' general offices, including members of the Executive Committee, which is leading the negotiations on behalf of the multistate group (the "Multistate"). Based on our engagement with the Multistate, it is our understanding that the investigation involves forty states. The District of Columbia was formerly a member of the Multistate and part of the Executive Committee, but withdrew from the Multistate and presented a separate settlement demand, and we are engaging in discussions with the District of Columbia Attorney General's office in addition to the Multistate.

In April 2022, we received a request for information and documents, and we have produced various records in response to the April 2022 request and other requests for information and documents by the Multistate during the multiple years of the investigation process. In March 2024, the Multistate presented their findings and allegations from their investigation to Acima. In May 2024, Acima submitted its response to the Multistate's presentation.

In the second quarter 2024, Acima received an initial settlement proposal from the Multistate. Since then, the parties have continued to engage in conversations regarding a potential resolution and Acima has responded to the Multistate's and District of Columbia's settlement proposals and monetary demands. In September 2025, we reached an agreement in principle with the District of Columbia's Attorney General's office regarding the primary monetary and injunctive terms of a potential settlement, although any final settlement remains subject to negotiation and execution of a definitive settlement agreement, which we cannot assure will be achieved. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, although we would not be willing to

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)**

**(Unaudited)**

agree to the Multistate's most recent monetary demands which we believe are unsupportable or agree to a number of the other terms presented, we expect to continue to discuss the potential resolution of this matter with the Multistate. We also expect to continue negotiations with the District of Columbia with the objective of finalizing a settlement agreement based on the terms agreed in principle. We are currently unable to predict whether or on what terms, including the amount of a monetary payment and specific business practice changes, any settlement with the Multistate, or individual members of the group, can be achieved. We are also unable to provide assurance that we will be able to finalize a definitive settlement agreement with the District of Columbia. If we are unable to reach agreement on terms acceptable to us and to the various states involved, some or all of such states may commence legal proceedings against Acima. We cannot provide any assurance that any settlement or adverse result in litigation will not require a monetary payment and/or changes to Acima's business practices or operations that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or reputation.

*New York Attorney General Litigation.* The New York Attorney General (the "NYAG") issued a subpoena to our Acima subsidiary in January 2020, prior to our acquisition of Acima, seeking information with respect to various business practices in connection with Acima's lease-to-own transactions. Acima received additional subpoenas from the NYAG in August 2021 and July 2023. Acima cooperated with the NYAG throughout its investigation. In March 2023, the NYAG provided Acima with a proposed assurance of discontinuance alleging violations of certain consumer laws, seeking injunctive relief regarding certain business practices, and seeking payment of unspecified amounts for restitution and civil penalties. In April 2023, Acima submitted its response to the NYAG's proposed assurance of discontinuance. In February 2024, Acima provided a settlement proposal to the NYAG. In March 2024, the NYAG presented Acima with an initial monetary demand for settlement purposes. On August 14, 2024, despite Acima's cooperation with the investigation and its active engagement in settlement discussions with the NYAG, the NYAG filed a lawsuit against Acima in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. The lawsuit alleges violations of various consumer financial protection laws and regulations similar to those set forth in the NYAG's March 2023 proposed assurance of discontinuance. The lawsuit seeks injunctive relief, unspecified monetary relief and civil penalties and other relief. Acima filed a motion to dismiss the NYAG's lawsuit. As of the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the trial court has not yet ruled on Acima's motion to dismiss. Acima will continue to vigorously defend itself against the NYAG's lawsuit. We cannot provide any assurance that Acima will be successful in defending against the NYAG's litigation or that an adverse result in litigation will not require a monetary payment and/or changes to Acima's business practices or operations that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or reputation.

*McBurnie Litigation Pending Settlement.* We are a defendant in a certified class action entitled *McBurnie, et al. v. Acceptance Now, LLC*, brought on behalf of individuals who entered into a rental purchase agreement with the Company's Acceptance Now business in California and were charged a processing fee and/or an expedited fee. Plaintiffs alleged that the fees they were charged were neither "reasonable" nor "actually incurred" in violation of the Karnette Rental-Purchase Act and other California state consumer protection laws. Plaintiffs sought unspecified actual damages pursuant to the Karnette Rental-Purchase Act; statutory damages pursuant to the Karnette Rental-Purchase Act; attorneys' fees and costs; exemplary damages; and public injunctions for alleged violations of the Karnette Rental-Purchase Act, the California Consumers Legal Remedies Act, and California unfair competition laws. The action is pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. In November 2022, the District Court denied our motion to compel arbitration, and in December 2022, we filed an interlocutory appeal of that denial with the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, pending which the District Court proceedings were stayed. In March 2024, the Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's denial of our motion to compel arbitration and its finding that plaintiffs' challenge to the processing fee was not moot, while remanding the action to the District Court to consider whether plaintiffs have standing to challenge the expedited payment fee. Plaintiffs notified the District Court that they did not intend to pursue their claims regarding the expedited payment fee. In June 2024, we filed a petition for certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court, appealing the decision from the Court of Appeals. Our petition for certiorari was denied by the Supreme Court in October 2024. In June 2025, the District Court certified a class of consumers who were charged a processing fee in California within the class period, and scheduled a trial date for January 2026. In late July 2025, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the class action. We denied the allegations in the case and we did not admit to any violations of law or any wrongdoing. In addition, there has not been any adjudication regarding the claims and allegations in the lawsuit. However, to avoid additional expense, risk and distractions associated with further protracted litigation, the parties agreed to settle the litigation. In August 2025, the parties executed a definitive class-wide settlement agreement, which remains subject to court approval, completion of the class notice and opt-out process and other terms and conditions as set forth in the settlement agreement. The agreement provides a cash payment by the Company of $14.0 million, which was fully reserved for as of September 30, 2025, as an estimated loss contingency in our consolidated financial statements. The agreement remains subject to approval by the District Court of the class settlement, which cannot be assured. If the settlement is not finalized for any reason, we intend to continue to vigorously defend the litigation.

*FlexShopper Litigation.* On September 30, 2024, FlexShopper, Inc. ("FlexShopper") filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Upbound Group, Inc, Acima Holdings, LLC and Acima Digital, LLC in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. On October 1, 2024, FlexShopper issued a press release announcing the lawsuit and a similar lawsuit it filed against another lease-to-own company, Katapult Holdings, Inc. The lawsuit filed against our Company seeks damages and an injunction for alleged infringement of five patents assigned to FlexShopper. FlexShopper's claims relate to certain technology allegedly used in connection with Acima's e-commerce third-party retailer lease-to-own business. In February 2025, we filed a motion to dismiss all of FlexShopper's claims. In April 2025, we filed a motion to transfer venue to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. In August 2025, the Court denied Acima's motion to dismiss. As of the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the District Court has not yet ruled on Acima's motion to transfer venue. We will continue to vigorously defend the lawsuit. We are currently unable to predict the eventual outcome of this litigation.

Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "plans," "seeks" or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs, such as "will," "should," "could," "may," "aims," "intends," or "projects." These forward-looking statements, include, without limitation, those relating to the impact of ongoing challenging macroeconomic conditions on our business, operations, financial performance and prospects, the future business prospects and financial performance of our Company as a whole (which includes Bridge IT, Inc. ("Brigit") following the closing of our acquisition of Brigit (the "Merger") on January 31, 2025) and our segments, our growth strategies, our expectations, plans and strategy relating to our capital structure and capital allocation, including any share repurchases under our share repurchase program, the potential impact of the matters discussed in Note 12 - "Contingencies" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and other statements that are not historical facts.

***Recent Developments***

*Dividend.* On September 17, 2025, we announced that our board of directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.39 per share for the fourth quarter of 2025. The dividend was paid on October 21, 2025 to our common stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 30, 2025.

*Term Loan Facility Amendment.* On August 19, 2025 we entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Term Loan Facility, effective as of August 19, 2025. The amendment, in addition to certain other changes, (i) extended the maturity date for the loans outstanding under the Term Loan Facility to August 19, 2032 (subject to certain springing maturity provisions) and (ii) provided approximately $77 million of incremental commitments under the Term Loan Facility, all of which were drawn at the closing of the amendment, resulting in total aggregate borrowings under the Credit Agreement on such date of $875 million.

*Executive Management Changes.*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• On October 30, 2025, we announced that Mr. Hal Khouri will join Upbound Group, Inc. as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer effective November 10, 2025. Mr. Khouri has over 30 years of experience in consumer-based banking, financial services, leasing, retail, consulting and government service.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Effective September 18, 2025 Rebecca Wooters joined Upbound Group, Inc. as Executive Vice President, Chief Growth Officer. Ms. Wooters brings more than 30 years of executive leadership in digital transformation, product innovation, technology, and customer engagement. Under the leadership of Ms. Wooters, we will consolidate Upbound's marketing, data, analytics, customer experience, and product development teams into a single integrated group.

***Business and Operational Trends***

*Macroeconomic Conditions.* In recent years, we have experienced significant change in business and operational trends driven by macroeconomic conditions, which have directly impacted our customers as well as our operations, including significant changes in the U.S. consumer price index, changes in demand for certain consumer retail categories, changes in consumer payment behaviors, a condensed labor market, which has also contributed to wage inflation, rapid increases in interest rates, changes in tariff and trade policies, and global supply chain disruptions resulting in reduced product availability and rising product costs.

While our businesses have historically remained resilient through various economic cycles, the full extent to which our risk management strategy and these macroeconomic trends (including consumer spending and payment behavior) may impact the Company in future periods is uncertain. The continuation of volatile macroeconomic trends may have a material adverse impact on our financial statements, including our results of operations, operating cash flows, liquidity and capital resources.

See "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, for additional discussion of impacts to our business and additional risks associated with macroeconomic conditions.

*Rent-A-Center e-commerce revenue.* In recent years, e-commerce revenues have continued to increase as a percentage of total rentals and fees revenue in our Rent-A-Center segment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, e-commerce revenues represented approximately 27% and 26% of total lease-to-own revenues, respectively. Due to recent trends in consumer shopping behaviors and expectations, we believe e-commerce solutions are an important part of our lease-to-own offering. However, we are unable to quantify the extent to which e-commerce revenues are incremental compared to what our overall revenues would have been in the absence of those e-commerce transactions. In addition, the profitability of e-commerce transactions can be impacted by different merchandise loss factors compared to traditional store-based transactions in the Rent-A-Center segment. Therefore, we are unable to determine with certainty whether the continuation of this trend toward increased

------

e-commerce transactions will have a significant impact to our financial statements in future periods or be ultimately favorable or unfavorable to our financial results.

**Results of Operations**

The following discussion focuses on our results of operations and our liquidity and capital resources. You should read this discussion in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

***Key Metrics***

*Gross Merchandise Volume ("GMV"):* The Company defines Gross Merchandise Volume as the retail value in U.S. dollars of merchandise acquired by the Acima segment that is leased to customers through a transaction that occurs within a defined period, net of estimated cancellations as of the measurement date.

*Lease Portfolio Value:* Represents the aggregate dollar value of the expected monthly rental income associated with current active lease agreements from our Company-owned Rent-A-Center lease-to-own stores and e-commerce platform at the end of any given period.

*Same Store Lease Portfolio Value*: Represents the aggregate dollar value of the expected monthly rental income associated with current active lease agreements from our Company-owned Rent-A-Center lease-to-own stores that were operated by us for 13 months or more at the end of any given period. The Company excludes from the same store base any store that receives a certain level of customer accounts from closed stores or acquisitions. The receiving store will be eligible for inclusion in the same store base in the 30th full month following account transfer.

*Same Store Sales:* Same store sales generally represents revenue earned in Company-owned Rent-A-Center stores that were operated by us for 13 months or more and are reported on a constant currency basis as a percentage of total revenue earned in stores of the segment during the indicated period. The Company excludes from the same store sales base any store that receives a certain level of customer accounts from closed stores or acquisitions. The receiving store will be eligible for inclusion in the same store sales base in the 30th full month following account transfer.

*Lease Charge-Offs ("LCOs") (previously referred to as "skip / stolen losses"):* Represents charge-offs of the net book value of unrecoverable on-rent merchandise with lease-to-own customers who are past due. This is typically expressed as a percentage of revenues for the applicable period. For the Rent-A-Center segment, LCOs exclude Get It Now, Home Choice and franchise-owned Rent-A-Center locations.

*Brigit Paying Users:* Represents Brigit customers who have an active Plus or Premium subscription account, are not delinquent (not 45 days past due) on a cash advance, and have made at least one of their last two subscription payments.

*Brigit Net Advance Losses:* Represents charge-offs of Brigit uncollectible customer cash advances that are more than 45 days past due. This is typically expressed as a percentage of total cash advances originated in the applicable period.

***Overview***

On January 31, 2025 we established a new operating segment following the acquisition of Brigit. Please reference Note 2 for additional discussion of the acquisition. In addition we combined our Franchising segment with our Rent-A-Center segment. Financial information disclosed within this report has been recast for the related prior year period to reflect this change. We report four operating segments: Acima, Rent-A-Center, Brigit and Mexico. The following briefly summarizes our financial performance for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 on a consolidated basis and for our operating segments.

During the first nine months of 2025, consolidated revenues and gross profit increased by approximately $257.3 million and $112.9 million, respectively, primarily due to the addition of Brigit segment revenues and an increase in the Acima segment revenues, partially offset by a decrease in Rent-A-Center segment revenues described below. Operating profit decreased by approximately $46.4 million, primarily due to increases in other gains and charges, non-labor operating expenses, and general and administrative expenses of $82.2 million, $77.4 million, and $17.2 million, respectively, partially offset by the increase in gross profit noted above and a decrease in operating labor expenses of $17.0 million.

The Acima segment revenues increased approximately $201.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, due to increases in rentals and fees revenues and merchandise sales of $150.5 million and $50.7 million, respectively, primarily resulting from higher GMV. Growth in GMV was primarily due to an increase in third-party retailer locations and productivity, which resulted in more leases per retailer, and expanded direct-to-consumer offerings. Operating profit increased approximately $33.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase in gross profit of $41.8 million and decreases in operating labor costs and other gains and charges of $5.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively, partially offset by

------

an increase in non-labor operating expenses of $14.8 million. See *"*Segment Performance*"* below for further discussion of Acima segment operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Revenues in our Rent-A-Center segment decreased approximately $83.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, due to a decreases in same store sales of 3.2% and lower corporate-owned store count as a result of prior year store closures, resulting in decreases in rentals and fees revenues and merchandise sales of $79.9 million and $5.3 million, respectively. Operating profit decreased approximately $37.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to a decrease in gross profit of approximately $52.0 million driven by lower revenues, in addition to higher general and administrative expenses and other gains and charges of approximately $10.6 million and $6.5 million, respectively, partially offset by decreases in non-labor operating expenses and operating labor expense of $18.6 million and $14.1 million, respectively. See *"*Segment Performance*"* below for further discussion of Rent-A-Center segment operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The Brigit segment had revenues and operating profit of $141.4 million and $23.9 million, respectively, since the Closing Date. See *"*Segment Performance*"* below for further discussion of Brigit segment operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The Mexico segment revenues and gross profit decreased by 3.3% and 4.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, primarily due to negative impacts of exchange rate fluctuations. Operating profit increased 8.1%, primarily due to lower operating expenses, partially offset by negative impacts of exchange rate fluctuations. See *"*Segment Performance*"* below for further discussion of Mexico segment operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Cash flow from operations was $264.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, we held $107.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and had outstanding indebtedness of $1.6 billion.

*Revenue.* Total revenue increased by $257.3 million, or 7.9%, to $3,498.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $3,241.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase of approximately $201.2 million in the Acima segment and the addition of the Brigit segment with $141.4 million in revenue, partially offset by a decrease of approximately $83.3 million in the Rent-A-Center segment, as discussed further in the "Segment Performance" section below.

*Gross Profit.* Gross profit increased by $112.9 million, or 7.2%, to $1,685.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $1,572.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the addition of the Brigit segment with $124.8 million in gross profit and an increase of $41.8 million in the Acima segment, partially offset by a decrease of approximately $52.0 million in the Rent-A-Center segment, as discussed further in the "Segment Performance" section below. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenue decreased to 48.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to 48.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

*Operating Labor.* Operating labor decreased by $17.0 million, or 3.6%, to $450.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $467.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to decreases of $14.1 million and $5.2 million in the Rent-A-Center and Acima segments, respectively. The decrease in Rent-A-Center operating labor was primarily attributable to a decrease in corporate-owned store count, resulting from prior year store closures and refranchising. Operating labor expressed as a percentage of total revenue was 12.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to 14.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

*Non-Labor Operating Expenses.* Non-labor operating expenses increased by $77.4 million, or 12.6%, to $691.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $613.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the addition of the Brigit segment with $81.5 million in non-labor operating expenses and increase of approximately $14.8 million in the Acima segment primarily related to an increase of $16.0 million in lease charge-off expense, partially offset by a decrease of approximately $18.6 million in the Rent-A-Center segment, primarily attributable to decreases of $9.0 million in lease-to-own store merchandise losses and $5.9 million in store occupancy and vehicle expenses driven by lower corporate-owned store count due to prior year store closures. Non-labor operating expenses expressed as a percentage of total revenue was 19.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to 18.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

*General and Administrative Expenses.* General and administrative expenses increased by $17.2 million, or 10.8%, to $177.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $160.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts of $10.6 million related to franchising trade receivables and the addition of the Brigit segment with $9.5 million in general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses expressed as a percentage of total revenue were 5.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 4.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

*Other Gains and Charges.* Other gains and charges increased by $82.2 million to $162.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $79.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in other gains and charges was driven primarily by increases of $49.5 million related to the Brigit acquisition, including depreciation and amortization of the fair value of acquired software and intangible assets, stock compensation expense related to the vesting of a portion of the equity consideration, other compensation and transaction costs, $44.0 million in estimated legal accruals and related litigation and defense expenses described further in Note 9 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and $5.8 million in lease impairment charges and fixed asset disposals, partially offset by decreases of $6.1 million in accelerated software depreciation, $4.9 million in stock compensation expense related to restricted stock issued in connection with the Acima Holdings acquisition and $1.7 million in depreciation and amortization of acquired software and intangible assets in connection with the Acima Holdings acquisition for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

*Operating Profit.* Operating profit decreased by $46.4 million, or 21.8%, to $166.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $212.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the increases in other gains and charges, non-labor operating expenses and general and administrative expenses, partially offset by an increase in gross profit and decrease in operating labor, as described above. Operating profit expressed as a percentage of

------

total revenue was 4.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 6.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

*Income Tax Expense.* Income tax expense decreased by $6.0 million to $24.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $30.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the decrease in earnings before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, partially offset by a higher effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 attributable to the tax impact on non-deductible expenses related to the Brigit acquisition.

*Revenues*. The increase in revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, were primarily due to increases in rentals and fees revenues of $46.1 million and $150.5 million, respectively, and increases in merchandise sales revenue of $13.2 million and $50.7 million, respectively, resulting from higher GMV. Growth in GMV was primarily due to an increase in new third-party retailer locations and productivity, which resulted in more leases per retailer, in addition to expanded direct-to-consumer offerings.

*Gross Profit.* Gross profit increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, driven primarily by the increase in revenues described above. Gross profit as a percentage of segment revenues decreased to 29.3% and 30.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 30.7% and 31.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to the conversion of Acceptance Now locations to the Acima Holdings Lease Management platform.

*Operating Profit.* Operating profit as a percentage of segment revenues was 10.2% and 11.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 11.3% and 11.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decreases in operating profit margin were primarily due to decreases in gross profit as a percentage of segment revenues as described above and increases in merchandise losses. Merchandise losses in our Acima locations due to LCOs, expressed as a percentage of revenues, were approximately 9.7% and 9.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to 9.2% and 9.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Merchandise losses in our Acima locations due to other merchandise losses, expressed as a percentage of revenues, were 0.4% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and were 0.3% and 0.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Other merchandise losses include unrepairable and missing merchandise and loss/damage waiver claims.

*Revenues.* The decrease in revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was primarily due to decreases in same store sales of 3.6% and 3.2%, respectively, resulting from certain underwriting adjustments implemented in prior periods. In addition, the decrease in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was also driven by lower corporate-owned store count due to prior year store closures.

*Gross Profit.* Gross profit decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, driven primarily by the decrease in revenues described above. Gross profit as a percentage of segment revenues was 68.1% and 67.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to 66.9% and 67.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Higher gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily due to mix-shift changes between lease merchandise product categories.

*Operating Profit.* Operating profit as a percentage of segment revenues was 12.2% and 13.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to 15.1% and 14.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The decrease in operating profit margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, was primarily due to an increase in other gains and charges of $12.5 million and $6.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, primarily due to impairment charges and shutdown costs related to closure of refranchised locations. The decrease in operating profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was also attributable to an increase in general and administrative expenses of $10.6 million, primarily driven by increases in the allowance for doubtful accounts related to franchising trade receivables. Merchandise losses in our Rent-A-Center lease-to-own stores due to LCOs, expressed as a percentage of Rent-A-Center lease-to-own revenues, were approximately 4.7% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 4.9% and 4.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Merchandise losses in our Rent-A-Center lease-to-own stores due to other merchandise losses, expressed as a percentage of Rent-A-Center lease-to-own revenues, were approximately 1.0% and 0.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to approximately 1.3% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Other merchandise losses include unrepairable and missing merchandise and loss/damage waiver claims.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

*Overview.* For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we generated $264.0 million in operating cash flow, used cash in the amount of $444.4 million for debt repayments, $278.0 million for acquisitions, $65.7 million for dividends, $49.3 million for capital expenditures, and $47.7 million for customer cash advance originations net of collections, and had cash proceeds from indebtedness of $681.0 million. We ended the third quarter of 2025 with $107.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and outstanding indebtedness of $1.6 billion.

*Analysis of Cash Flow.* Cash provided by operating activities increased by $97.3 million to $264.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $166.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase of approximately $153.0 million in cash provided by net earnings (net earnings less adjustments to reconcile net earnings to net cash provided by operating activities), which was benefited by $23.9 million in operating income generated by the Brigit operating segment following the acquisition; a year-over-year decrease of approximately $67.9 million in payments of outstanding inventory and trade payables primarily due to higher payments of outstanding inventory payables made in early 2024; and a decrease in legal settlement payments due to the 2024 settlement payment of approximately $8.8 million related to the Massachusetts Attorney General matter. These impacts were partially offset by higher inventory purchases of approximately $186.0 million, net of approximately $70.9 million of customer lease buyouts through early purchase options, lease charge-offs, and other merchandise losses, driven by increased consumer demand.

Cash used in investing activities increased by $347.6 million to $374.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $27.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to payment of cash consideration for the acquisition of Brigit of $275.9 million and $47.7 million for customer cash advance originations net of collections, in addition to higher proceeds from sale of property assets of $18.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 resulting from the sale of 55 Rent-A-Center stores in the states of New York and New Jersey to a franchisee.

Cash provided by (used in) financing activities increased by $301.9 million to $156.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $(145.9) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility of $466.0 million, used to facilitate the Brigit acquisition, partially offset by an increase in debt repayments of $152.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

*Liquidity Requirements*. Our primary liquidity requirements are for rental merchandise purchases in our Rent-A-Center and Acima segments, which are impacted by consumer demand for our lease-to-own solutions, and customer advances in our Brigit segment. Other capital requirements include expenditures for technology and property assets, and debt service. Our primary source of liquidity has been cash provided by operations.

We generally utilize our ABL Credit Facility for the issuance of letters of credit, to manage normal fluctuations in operational cash flow caused by the timing of cash payments vs cash receipts, and to potentially fund strategic initiatives including acquisitions. In that regard, we may from time to time draw funds under the ABL Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. Amounts are drawn as needed due to the timing of cash flows and are generally paid down as cash is generated by our operating activities. We believe cash flow generated from operations and availability under our ABL Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations during the next twelve months. At October 23, 2025, we had approximately $76.0 million in cash on hand, and $222.0 million available under our ABL Credit Facility.

*Merchandise Losses*. Merchandise losses consist of the following:

<sup>(1)</sup> Other merchandise losses include unrepairable and missing merchandise, and loss/damage waiver claims.

*Capital Expenditures*. We make capital expenditures in order to maintain our existing operations, acquire new capital assets in new and acquired stores and invest in information technology. We spent $49.3 million and $44.2 million on capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $5.1 million is primarily due to higher investment in software development.

*Acquisitions and New Location Openings.* During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we acquired four lease-to-own store locations and customer accounts for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.2 million. One store location was closed upon acquisition and consolidated into existing store operations in our Rent-A-Center segment.

*Senior Debt.* On February 17, 2021, we entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and lenders party thereto, that provides for a five-year asset-based revolving credit facility with commitments of $550 million and a letter of credit sublimit of $150 million, which commitments may be increased, at our option and under certain conditions, by up to an additional $125 million in the aggregate (as amended on August 29, 2025, the "ABL Credit Facility"). Under the ABL Credit Facility, we may borrow only up to the lesser of the level of the then-current borrowing base and the aggregate amount of commitments under the ABL Credit Facility. The borrowing base is tied to the amount of eligible installment sales accounts, inventory and eligible lease contracts, reduced by certain reserves. The ABL Credit Facility bears interest at a fluctuating rate determined by reference to an adjusted Term SOFR rate plus an applicable margin of 1.50% to 2.00%, which, as of October 23, 2025, was 6.23%. A commitment fee equal to 0.250% to 0.375% of the unused portion of the ABL Credit Facility fluctuates dependent upon average utilization for the prior month as defined by a pricing grid included in the documentation governing the ABL Credit Facility. Loans under the ABL Credit Facility may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed until June 7, 2029 (subject to certain springing maturity provisions), at which time all amounts borrowed must be repaid.

The obligations under the ABL Credit Facility are guaranteed by us and certain of our material wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. The obligations under the ABL Credit Facility and such guarantees are secured on a first-priority basis by all of our and our subsidiary guarantors' accounts, inventory, deposit accounts, securities accounts, cash and cash equivalents, rental agreements, general intangibles (other than equity interests in our subsidiaries), chattel paper, instruments, documents, letter of credit rights, commercial tort claims related to the foregoing and other related assets and all proceeds thereof related to the foregoing, subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions (such assets, collectively, the "ABL Priority Collateral") and a second-priority basis in substantially all other present and future tangible and intangible personal property of ours and the subsidiary guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.

On February 17, 2021, we also entered into a term loan credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and lenders party thereto, that provides for a seven-year $875 million senior secured term loan facility (as amended on August 19, 2025, the "Term Loan Facility"). Subject in each case to certain restrictions and conditions, we may add up to $625 million (plus additional amounts subject to satisfaction of certain financial ratios) of incremental term loan facilities to the Term Loan Facility or utilize incremental capacity under the Term Loan Facility at any time by issuing or incurring incremental equivalent term debt. Interest on borrowings under the Term Loan Facility is payable at a fluctuating rate of interest determined by reference to the Term SOFR rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75%, subject to a 0.50% Term SOFR floor, which, as of October 23, 2025 was 6.88%.

Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility amortize in equal quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1.000% per annum of the original aggregate principal amount thereof, with the remaining balance due at final maturity on August 19, 2032. The Term Loan Facility is secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of present and future tangible and intangible personal property of us and our subsidiary guarantors, other than the ABL Priority Collateral, and by a second-priority security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral, subject to certain exceptions. The obligations under the Term Loan Facility are guaranteed by us and our material wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries that also guarantee the ABL Credit Facility.

At October 23, 2025, we had outstanding borrowings of $875.0 million under the Term Loan Facility and available commitments of $222.0 million under our ABL Credit Facility, net of letters of credit.

*Senior Notes*. On February 17, 2021, we issued $450 million in senior unsecured notes due February 15, 2029, at par value, bearing interest at 6.375% (the "Notes"). Interest on the Notes is payable in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2021. We may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time for cash at the redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. If we experience specific kinds of change in control, we will be required to offer to purchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. See Note 7 of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our senior notes.

*Operating Leases*. We lease space for all of our Rent-A-Center and Mexico stores under operating leases expiring at various times through 2036. In addition, we lease space for certain support facilities under operating leases expiring at various times through 2032. Most of our store leases are five-year leases and contain renewal options for additional periods ranging from three to five years at rental rates adjusted according to agreed-upon formulas. As of September 30, 2025, our total remaining obligation for existing store lease contracts was approximately $338.0 million.

We lease vehicles for all of our Rent-A-Center stores under operating leases with lease terms expiring twelve months after the start date of the lease. We classify these leases as short-term and have elected the short-term lease exemption for our vehicle leases, and have therefore excluded them from our operating lease right-of-use assets within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2025, our total remaining minimum obligation for existing Rent-A-Center vehicle lease contracts was approximately $3.5 million.

We also lease vehicles for all of our Mexico stores which have terms expiring at various times through 2029 with rental rates adjusted periodically for inflation. As of September 30, 2025, our total remaining obligation for existing Mexico vehicle lease contracts was approximately $3.4 million.

*Uncertain Tax Position.* As of September 30, 2025, we have recorded $0.4 million in uncertain tax positions. Although these positions represent a potential future cash liability to us, the amounts and timing of such payments are uncertain.

*Seasonality.* Our revenue mix is moderately seasonal, with the first quarter of each fiscal year generally providing higher sales than any other quarter during a fiscal year. Generally, our customers will more frequently exercise the early purchase option on their existing lease purchase agreements in our Acima and Rent-A-Center segments or purchase pre-leased merchandise off the showroom floor in our Rent-A-Center segment during the first quarter of each fiscal year, primarily due to the receipt of federal income tax refunds. In contrast, our cash expenditures for our merchandise purchases for the fiscal year are generally the highest beginning in the latter part of the third quarter through the fourth quarter, primarily as a result of holiday promotions that lead to increased demand for our lease-to-own offerings.

**Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements**

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses*, which requires new tabular disclosures disaggregating prescribed expense categories within relevant income statement captions. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, which clarifies the effective date for ASU No. 2024-03. The adoption of ASU 2024-03 will be required for us for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently in the preliminary stages of assessing this ASU and the impact it will have on our financial statements following adoption.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, *Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)*, which amends the existing standard that refers to estimating expected credit losses on current accounts receivables and current contract assets arising from transactions under Topic 606. Under the new standard, public business entities may elect a practical expedient that assumes the current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses. The adoption of ASU 2025-05 will be required for us for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We are currently in the preliminary stages of assessing this ASU and the impact it will have on our financial statements following adoption.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, *Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)*, which amends the existing standard that refers to various stages of a software development. Under the new standard, entities will start capitalizing eligible costs when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The adoption of ASU 2025-06 will be required for us for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim

------

reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We are currently in the preliminary stages of assessing this ASU and the impact it will have on our financial statements following adoption.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standards setting bodies that we adopt as of the specified effective date. As of September 30, 2025, unless otherwise discussed (including with respect to ASU 2023-07), we believe the impact of any other recently issued standards that are not yet effective are either not applicable to us at this time, or will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.**

**Interest Rate Risk**

Our primary market risk exposure is fluctuations in interest rates. Monitoring and managing this risk is a continual process carried out by our senior management. We manage our market risk based on an ongoing assessment of trends in interest rates and economic developments, giving consideration to possible effects on both total return and reported earnings. As a result of such assessment, we may enter into swap contracts or other interest rate protection agreements from time to time to mitigate this risk.

As of September 30, 2025, we had $450 million in Notes outstanding at a fixed interest rate of 6.375%. We also had $875.0 million outstanding under the Term Loan Facility and $239.0 million outstanding under our ABL Credit Facility, each at interest rates indexed to the Term SOFR rate or the prime rate. Carrying value of the Term Loan Facility and ABL Credit Facility approximates fair value for such indebtedness. Based on our overall interest rate exposure at September 30, 2025, a hypothetical 1.0% increase or decrease in market interest rates would have the effect of causing an additional $11.1 million annualized pre-tax charge or credit to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We have not entered into any interest rate swap agreements as of September 30, 2025.

**Foreign Currency Translation**

We are also exposed to market risk from foreign exchange rate fluctuations of the Mexican peso to the U.S. dollar as the financial position and operating results of our stores in Mexico are translated into U.S. dollars for consolidation. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures.**

*Disclosure Controls and Procedures*. In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a–15(e) and 15d–15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, as of September 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a–15(e) and 15d–15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective.

*Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting*. On January 31 2025, we acquired Brigit. We are currently in the process of integrating Brigit into our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. Management's assessment and conclusions on the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025 excludes an assessment of the internal control over financial reporting of Brigit.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that, in the aggregate, have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II – Other Information**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings**

Given the nature of our businesses and the heavily regulated industries in which we operate, we, along with our subsidiaries, are party to various legal proceedings and governmental inquiries and investigations. Certain legal proceedings and governmental inquiries and investigations involving us or our subsidiaries are described herein. In addition to the matters described herein, we are also party to other legal proceedings and governmental inquiries and investigations involving us or our subsidiaries that we believe, based on our current knowledge, will not have a material adverse effect on our business or our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or liquidity, including arbitrations, litigation, putative class actions and other matters alleging various types of claims, including those based on consumer regulatory, contract, labor and employment and other alleged claims. However, in light of the uncertainties involved in such matters, including the fact that some pending legal proceedings are at preliminary stages or seek an indeterminate amount of damages, penalties, fines or other relief, it is possible that the outcome of one or more legal proceedings could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

We regularly monitor developments related to our legal proceedings and governmental inquiries and investigations, determine whether a reserve is appropriate if the loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, and review the adequacy of our reserves for such matters on a quarterly basis. As a result, we do not have reserves for all matters with respect to which we may or will have future liability, and no assurance can be given that our reserves, when recorded, will be adequate to cover the full amount of any loss we may ultimately incur. In addition, certain of these matters involve demands for monetary relief and changes to our business practices that could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations were we to agree to them as part of a settlement or be subject to them following an adverse result in litigation.

We cannot predict the ultimate resolution of our pending legal proceedings, governmental inquiries and investigations (which include, but are not limited to, the matters discussed herein) and, therefore, other than with respect to the pending class settlement payment amount for the McBurnie litigation described herein, are unable to estimate a range of losses related to these matters that may be reasonably possible to occur. Please see Note 12 of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional discussion of certain of our legal proceedings and governmental inquiries.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors**

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of Part 1, "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities, Use of Proceeds, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities**

None.

**Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities**

None.

**Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures**

Not applicable.

**Item 5. Other Information**

Certain of our officers have made, or may make, elections to participate in, or are participating in, the Company's stock investment option and dividend reinvestment available through the Company's 401(k) plan. In addition, certain of our officers and directors may from time to time make elections to have shares withheld to cover withholding taxes owed in connection with long-term incentive plan awards or to pay the exercise price of options or make standing elections to reinvest dividends received on our shares or long-term incentive plan awards held by them, which may be intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, or may constitute "non-Rule 10b5–1 trading arrangements" as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4 (c) Severability. Any provision of this Third Amendment that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. (d) Payment of Expenses.

(h) No Waiver. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Third Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document, or, except as expressly provided herein, constitute a waiver or amendment of any other provision of the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document. Section 10.3 of the Credit Agreement remains in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed by the Borrower.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary (i) the Borrower may rely on more than one basket or exception hereunder (including both ratio-based and non-ratio based baskets and exceptions, and including partial reliance on different baskets that, collectively, permit the entire proposed transaction) at the time of any proposed transaction, and the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, at any later time divide, classify or reclassify such transaction (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with the available baskets and exceptions hereunder at such later time (provided that with respect to reclassification of Indebtedness and Liens, any such reclassification shall be subject to the parameters of Sections 7.2 and 7.3, as applicable), (ii) unless the Borrower elects otherwise, if the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with any transaction or series of such related transaction (A) incurs Indebtedness, creates Liens, makes Dispositions, makes Investments, makes Restricted Payments, designates any Subsidiary as restricted or unrestricted or repays any Indebtedness or takes any other action under or as permitted by a ratio-based basket or exception and (B) incurs Indebtedness, creates Liens, makes Dispositions, makes Investments, makes Restricted Payments, designates any Subsidiary as restricted or unrestricted or repays any Indebtedness or takes any other action under a non-ratio-based basket or exception (which shall occur within five Business Days of the events in clause (A) above), then the applicable ratio will be calculated with respect to any such action under the applicable ratio-based basket or exception without regard to any such action under such non-ratio-based basket or exception made in connection with such transaction or series of related transactions, (iii) if the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries enters into any revolving, delayed draw or other committed debt facility, the Borrower may elect to determine compliance of such debt 66

facility (including the incurrence of Indebtedness and Liens from time to time in connection therewith) with this Agreement and each other Loan Document on the date commitments with respect thereto are first received, assuming the full amount of such facility is incurred (and any applicable Liens are granted) on such date, in lieu of determining such compliance on any subsequent date (including any date on which Indebtedness is incurred pursuant to such facility); provided that if such election is made with respect to any delayed draw facility or other committed debt facility (other than a revolving facility), then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or financial test or basket or exception with respect to any subsequent incurrence of Indebtedness (including the incurrence of Liens in connection therewith) or Liens, such calculation shall be made assuming the full amount of such delayed draw facility or committed debt facility, as applicable, has been incurred (and any applicable Liens granted) on such date of incurrence for so long as any commitments remain outstanding thereunder, and (iv) if the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs Indebtedness under a ratio-based basket or exception, such ratio-based basket or exception (together with any other ratio-based basket or exception utilized in connection therewith, including in respect of other Indebtedness, Liens, Dispositions, Investments, Restricted Payments or Restricted Debt Payments) will be calculated excluding the cash proceeds of such Indebtedness for netting purposes (i.e., such cash proceeds shall not reduce the Borrower's Consolidated Leverage Ratio, Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio or Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio pursuant to clause (a)(ii) of the definition of such terms), provided that the actual application of such proceeds may reduce Indebtedness for purposes of determining compliance with any applicable ratio. For example, if the Borrower incurs Indebtedness under the Base Incremental Amount on the same date that it incurs Indebtedness under the Maximum Incremental Amount, then the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and any other applicable ratio will be calculated with respect to such incurrence under the Maximum Incremental Amount without regard to any incurrence of Indebtedness under the Base Incremental Amount. Unless the Borrower elects otherwise, Indebtedness incurred under Section 7.2(b) (other than Indebtedness outstanding on the Closing Date immediately after giving effect to the Transactions) and Section 7.2(t) shall be deemed incurred first under the Maximum Incremental Amount to the extent permitted (and calculated prior to giving effect to any substantially simultaneous incurrence of any Indebtedness based on a basket or exception that is not based on a financial ratio, including the Base Incremental Amount and the Voluntary Prepayment Amount), with any balance incurred under the Base Incremental Amount or the Voluntary Prepayment Amount. For purposes of determining compliance with Section 7.2(b) and Section 7.2(t), in the event that any Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of Base Incremental Amount, Maximum Incremental Amount or Voluntary Prepayment Amount, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, at the time of incurrence, divide, classify or reclassify, or at any later time divide, classify or reclassify, such Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with Section 7.2(b) or Section 7.2(t), as applicable, on the date of such classification or any such reclassification, as applicable. 1.9 Discontinued Operations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any classification under GAAP of any Person, business, assets or operations in respect of which a definitive agreement for the disposition thereof has been entered into as discontinued operations, no pro forma effect shall be given to any discontinued operations (and the Consolidated EBITDA attributable to any such Person, business, assets or operations shall 67

not be excluded for any purposes hereunder) until such disposition shall have been consummated. 1.10 Bridge Loans and Escrow Indebtedness. For purposes of determining the maturity date of any Indebtedness, (a) customary bridge loans that are subject to customary conditions (including no payment or bankruptcy event of default) that would either automatically be extended as, converted into or required to be exchanged for permanent refinancing shall be deemed to have the maturity date as so extended, converted or exchanged and (b) Indebtedness the proceeds of which are deposited into escrow pursuant to customary escrow arrangements pending consummation of a specified acquisition or Investment shall be deemed to have the maturity date of such Indebtedness upon consummation of the specified acquisition or Investment and release of such proceeds from escrow. SECTION 2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS 2.1 Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans ("Revolving Loans") to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which would not result in either (i) the Revolving Loans of such Lender when added to the sum of (x) such Lender's Revolving Percentage of the L/C Obligations then outstanding, (y) [reserved] and (z) such Lender's Protective Advance Exposure then outstanding, exceeding the amount of such Lender's Commitment or (ii) the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceeding the Line Cap, subject to the authority of the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, to make Protective Advances pursuant to the terms of Section 2.3. During the Revolving Commitment Period the Borrower may use the Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The Revolving Loans may from time to time be Term SOFR Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.12. (b) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of and ratable benefit of each Lender the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans on the Revolving Termination Date. 2.2 Procedure for Revolving Loan Borrowing. The Borrower may borrow under the Commitments during the Revolving Commitment Period on any U.S. Government Securities Business Day, provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Request substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to (a) 12:00 Noon, New York City time two (2) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Term SOFR Loans; provided, that such notice may be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time one (1) U.S. Government Securities Business Day prior to the Closing Date for a Term SOFR Borrowing to be made on the Closing Date or (b) 10:00 a.m., New York City time, the date of the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of ABR Loans) (provided that any such notice of a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans to finance payments required by Section 3.5 must be given not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed borrowing), specifying (i) the amount and Type of 68

![](ex-102_thirdamendmenttoa094.jpg)

Revolving Loans to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date and (iii) in the case of Term SOFR Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Period therefor. Each borrowing under the Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if Availability at the time is less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Term SOFR Loans, $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if Availability at the time is less than $3,000,000, such lesser amount). Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof. Each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to (i) 10:30 a.m., New York City time, for borrowings made on the Closing Date and (ii) 12:00 p.m., New York City time, for Borrowing Dates occurring after the Closing Date, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Revolving Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, no Borrowing shall consist of Daily Simple SOFR Loans prior to the occurrence of a Benchmark Replacement Date. 2.3 Protective Advances. (a) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Administrative Agent is authorized by the Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time in the Administrative Agent's Permitted Discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), following notice to the Borrower, to make Loans to the Borrower, on behalf of all Lenders, which the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 10.5) and other sums payable under the Loan Documents (any of such Loans are herein referred to as "Protective Advances"); provided that, as of the date of the making of any Protective Advance, the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances shall not exceed 10% of the Commitments outstanding as of such date; provided further that the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Total Commitments. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.2 have not been satisfied. The Protective Advances shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. All Protective Advances shall be ABR Loans. The Administrative Agent's authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent's receipt thereof. If at any time (a) the amount equal to (i) the Line Cap minus (ii) the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit then outstanding (calculated, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, as if such Defaulting Lender had funded its Revolving Percentage of all outstanding Revolving Loans) exceeds the amount of any Protective Advance and (b) the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.2 have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent may request the Revolving Lenders to make a Revolving Loan to repay a Protective Advance. At any 69

------

![](ex-102_thirdamendmenttoa095.jpg)

other time the Administrative Agent may require the Lenders to fund their risk participations as set forth in Section 2.3(b). (b) Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default), each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Administrative Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance in proportion to its Revolving Percentage. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender such Lender's Revolving Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Protective Advance (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender's participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender's pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Protective Advances then due). 2.4 [Reserved]. 2.5 [Reserved]. 2.6 [Reserved]. 2.7 [Reserved]. 2.8 Fees, etc. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date. (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in any fee agreements with the Administrative Agent and to perform any other obligations contained therein. 2.9 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days' revocable notice to the Administrative Agent (which may be conditioned as stated in such notice by the Borrower), to terminate the Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Line Cap. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Commitments then in effect. 70

![](ex-102_thirdamendmenttoa096.jpg)

2.10 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon revocable notice (which may be conditioned as stated in such notice by the Borrower) delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, two (2) Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Term SOFR Loans, and no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, one Business Day prior thereto, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Term SOFR Loans or ABR Loans; provided, that if a Term SOFR Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.20. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. The application of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be made first, to ABR Loans and second, to Term SOFR Loans. 2.11 Mandatory Prepayment of Loans. (a) In the event and on such occasion that (i) the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the Total Commitments or (ii) the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit (excluding for such purposes Protective Advances) exceed the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within two Business Days) prepay (or in the case of L/C Exposure, cash collateralize to 103% of the aggregate undrawn face amount thereof) the Revolving Loans, L/C Exposure and/or (in the case of clause (i) above) the Protective Advances in an aggregate amount equal to such excess (it being understood that the Borrower shall prepay Revolving Loans and/or Protective Advances prior to cash collateralization of L/C Exposure). (b) [Reserved]. (c) The application of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be applied first, to Protective Advances, second, to Revolving Loans and third to cash collateralize L/C Obligations and, with respect to Protective Advances and Revolving Loans, first to ABR Loans and second to Term SOFR Loans. (d) On each Business Day during any Full Cash Dominion Period, the Administrative Agent shall apply, subject to Section 2.17(b) of this Agreement and Section 8.1(b) of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, all funds credited to any applicable Collection Account as of 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such Business Day (whether or not immediately available) and first to prepay any Protective Advances that may be outstanding, second to prepay other Revolving Loans (without a corresponding reduction in Commitments). 2.12 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Term SOFR Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (an "Interest Election Request") no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date, provided that any such conversion of Term SOFR Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower 71

------

![](ex-102_thirdamendmenttoa097.jpg)

may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Term SOFR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the second U.S. Government Securities Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which Interest Election Request shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no ABR Loan may be converted into a Term SOFR Loan when (i) any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversion or (ii) if a Specified Event of Default is in existence. Upon receipt of any such Interest Election Request the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. (b) Any Term SOFR Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice by submitting an Interest Election Request to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term "Interest Period" set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Term SOFR Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations or (ii) if a Specified Event of Default is in existence, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required Interest Election Request as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such Interest Election Request the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. 2.13 Limitations on Term SOFR Borrowings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Term SOFR Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Term SOFR Loans comprising each Term SOFR Borrowing shall be equal to $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than 15 Term SOFR Borrowings shall be outstanding at any one time. 2.14 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. Subject to Section 2.16, (a) each Term SOFR Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to Adjusted Term SOFR determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin. (b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. (c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14 plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans plus 2%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment 72

------

![](ex-102_thirdamendmenttoa098.jpg)

fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans plus 2%, in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment). (d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.14 shall be payable from time to time on demand. 2.15 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed (including the first day, but excluding the last day; provided that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day's interest shall be paid on such Loan). (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.14(a). 2.16 Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 2.16, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term SOFR Borrowing: (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Term SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR, as applicable for a Loan for such Interest Period; provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time, or (ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that Adjusted Term SOFR for a Loan for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which notification shall be made promptly after the Administrative Agent obtains knowledge of the cessation of the circumstances referenced in clause (i) above or receives notice from the Required Lenders in respect of the cessation of circumstances referenced in clause (ii) above), (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of 73

any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Term SOFR Borrowing shall be ineffective and (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a Term SOFR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Swap Agreement shall be deemed not to be a "Loan Document" for purposes of this Section 2.16), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. (c) [Reserved]. (d) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. (e) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.16, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.16. 74

![](ex-102_thirdamendmenttoa100.jpg)

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor. (g) Upon the Borrower's receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Term SOFR Revolving Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Revolving Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR. 2.17 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Revolving Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the Revolving Percentages of the Lenders, in each case unless otherwise provided in this Agreement.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Obligations to maximize realization of the Collateral (it being understood that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall payments be made pursuant to levels "eighth" or "ninth" above prior to the payment in full of all obligations described in levels "first" through "seventh" above). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amount received from any Loan Party shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Loan Party. (c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders, unless otherwise provided by this Agreement. (d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to each relevant Lender promptly upon receipt in like funds as received, net of any amounts owing by such Lender pursuant to Section 9.7. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Term SOFR Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Term SOFR Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. During any Full Cash Dominion Period, solely for 76

purposes of determining the amount of Loans available for borrowing purposes, checks (in addition to immediately available funds applied pursuant to Section 2.11(d)) from collections of items of payment and proceeds of any Collateral shall be applied in whole or in part against the applicable Obligations as of 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Business Day of receipt, subject to actual collection. (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the NYFRB Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender's share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans, on demand, from the Borrower. (f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof or any other Loan Document (including any date that is fixed for prepayment by notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.11(d)) that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average NYFRB Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower. (g) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.17(e), 2.17(f), 2.19(e), 3.4(a) or 10.7, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender to satisfy such Lender's obligations to it under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding 77

(a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation, administration, implementation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender or other Credit Party with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case made or occurring subsequent to the Closing Date: (i) shall subject any Credit Party to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit (or participations therein) by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of Adjusted Term SOFR; or (iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition (other than Taxes); and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Credit Party, by an amount that such Lender or other Credit Party deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or such other Credit Party, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such other Credit Party for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender or such other Credit Party becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. (b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation, administration, implementation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such corporation's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such 78

Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction. (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented. (d) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.18 submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.18, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.18 for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.18 to the contrary, no Lender shall be entitled to receive any compensation pursuant to this Section 2.18 unless it shall be the general policy or practice of such Lender to seek compensation from other similarly situated borrowers in the syndicated loan market in the United States with respect to its similarly affected loans under agreements with such borrowers having provisions similar to this Section 2.18. 2.19 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.19), the amounts received with respect to this agreement equal the sum which would have been received had no such deduction or withholding been made. 79

(b) The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes. (c) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.19, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. (d) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Credit Party, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.19) payable or paid by such Credit Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Credit Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to setoff and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e). (f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the 80

completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.19(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person, (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; (B) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (1) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty; (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; (3) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate 81

substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a "10 percent shareholder" of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a "controlled foreign corporation" related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a "U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate") and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or (4) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; (C) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, 82

as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. (g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.19 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.19), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.19 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.19 shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person. (h) Each party's obligations under this Section 2.19 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the 83

replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under the Loan Documents. (i) For purposes of this Section 2.19, the term "Lender" includes the Issuing Lender and the term "applicable law" includes FATCA. 2.20 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Term SOFR Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Term SOFR Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Term SOFR Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.20 submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder for nine months. 2.21 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.18 or 2.19(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation or assignment is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending offices to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 2.21 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a). 2.22 Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a), (b) becomes a Defaulting Lender or (c) does not consent to any proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires the consent of the Supermajority Lenders, each of the Lenders or each of the Lenders affected thereby (so long as the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained), with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) [reserved], (iii) prior to any such replacement 84

pursuant to the preceding clause (a), such Lender shall have not eliminated the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.20 if any Term SOFR Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such), (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a), as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee, and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective. 2.23 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: (a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(a); (b) the Commitment and Revolving Extensions of Credit of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.1); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby; (c) if any L/C Exposure or Protective Advance Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then: (i) all or any part of the L/C Exposure and Protective Advance Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders' Revolving Extensions of Credit plus such Defaulting Lender's L/C Exposure and Protective Advance Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders' Commitments; (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Protective Advance 85

Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender only the Borrower's obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender's L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8 for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding; (iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender's L/C Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender's L/C Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender's L/C Exposure is cash collateralized; (iv) if the L/C Exposure of the Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.8(a) and Section 3.3(a) shall be adjusted in accordance with the non-Defaulting Lenders' Revolving Percentages; and (v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender's L/C Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 3.3(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender's L/C Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such L/C Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and (d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender's then outstanding L/C Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.23(c), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.23(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein). If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Lender Parent of any Lender shall occur following the Closing Date and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Issuing Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder. In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Issuing Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the L/C Exposure and Protective Advance Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender's Commitment and on 86

such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage. 2.24 Incremental Facilities. (a) The Borrower and any one or more Lenders (including New Lenders) may from time to time agree that such Lenders shall make, obtain or increase the amount of their Commitments (any such new or increased Commitments, "Incremental Commitments") by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent an Increased Facility Activation Notice specifying (x) the amount of such Incremental Commitments and (y) the applicable Increased Facility Closing Date (which shall be a date not less than five (5) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such earlier date as shall be agreed by the Administrative Agent)); provided that (i) with respect to any Increased Facility Closing Date, the Incremental Commitments shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and (ii) the aggregate amount of Incremental Commitments obtained after the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall not exceed $125,000,000. No Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any increase described in this paragraph unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion, and the Borrower shall have no obligation to offer to any Lender the opportunity to so participate. (b) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which, with the consent of the Borrower, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), elects to become a "Lender" under this Agreement in connection with any transaction described in Section 2.24(a) shall execute a New Lender Supplement (each, a "New Lender Supplement"), substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity (a "New Lender") shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement. (c) Unless otherwise agreed or otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent, on each Increased Facility Closing Date, the Administrative Agent shall (i) effect a settlement of all outstanding Revolving Loans among the Lenders that will reflect the adjustments to the Total Commitments of the applicable Lenders as a result of the Incremental Commitments and (ii) notify the Lenders of the occurrence of the Incremental Commitments to be effected on the Increased Facility Closing Date. (d) It shall be a condition precedent to the availability of any Incremental Commitments that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to the making of such Incremental Commitments, (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in each Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, if qualified by materiality, in all respects) on and as of the Increased Facility Closing Date immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to the making of such Incremental Commitments, except to the extent expressly made as of an earlier date, in which case they shall be so true and correct as of such earlier date and (iii) the Borrower shall have delivered such customary legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary's certificate, officer's certificate and other documents, in each case consistent with those delivered 87

on the Closing Date, as shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Incremental Commitments. (e) On each Increased Facility Closing Date, the fixed dollar portions of any Availability-based thresholds hereunder shall be increased by an amount proportional to the increase, if any, in the Total Commitments above the Total Commitments in effect on the Closing Date effected by the Incremental Commitments on such Increased Facility Closing Date. SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT 3.1 L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit ("Letters of Credit") during the Revolving Commitment Period for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided that the Issuing Lender shall not issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Line Cap, subject to the authority of the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, to make Protective Advances pursuant to the terms of Section 2.3 or (ii) more than ten (10) Letters of Credit would be outstanding at one time. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance (or such longer period as agreed to by the applicable Issuing Lender in its sole discretion) and (y) unless such Letter of Credit has been cash collateralized or other arrangements backstopping such Letter of Credit have been made, in each case, reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender, the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above unless such Letter of Credit has been cash collateralized or other arrangements backstopping such Letter of Credit have been made, in each case, reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender). In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Lender relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. (b) The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit if the issuance of such Letter of Credit would (i) result in such Issuing Lender's L/C Obligations exceeding such Lender's L/C Commitment, (ii) violate one or more policies of the Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally or (iii) conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law. Without limiting the foregoing and without affecting the limitations contained herein, it is understood and agreed that the Borrower may from time to time request that an Issuing Lender issue Letters of Credit in excess of such Issuing Lender's L/C Commitment in effect at the time of such request, and each Issuing Lender agrees to consider any such request in good faith. Any Letter of Credit so issued by an Issuing Lender in excess of its L/C Commitment then in effect shall nonetheless constitute a Letter of Credit for all purposes of this Agreement, and shall not affect the L/C Commitment of any other Issuing Lender. 88

![](ex-102_thirdamendmenttoa114.jpg)

(c) The parties hereto agree that (i) the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit for all purposes under this Agreement, without any further action by the Borrower, the Issuing Lender or any other Person and (ii) the extension or renewal of the Existing Letters of Credit by JPMCB (other than the Specified Letter of Credit) shall not be permitted if after giving effect to such renewal or extension, the aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit issued by JPMCB would exceed JPMCB's L/C Commitment. 3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit) by delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, an Application therefor, completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue, amended, renew or extend any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof). 3.3 Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Borrower will pay a fee on all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Revolving Loans that are Term SOFR Loans, shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. (b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit. 3.4 L/C Participations. (a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant's own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant's Revolving Percentage in the Issuing Lender's obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any 89

------

![](ex-102_thirdamendmenttoa115.jpg)

Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (or in the event that any reimbursement received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by it at any time), such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lender's address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant's Revolving Percentage of the amount that is not so reimbursed (or is so returned). Each L/C Participant's obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against the Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. (b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is not paid to the Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the greater of (x) the daily average NYFRB Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender and (y) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. (c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it. 3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. If any draft is paid under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) the draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such payment, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business 90

------

![](ex-102_thirdamendmenttoa116.jpg)

Day immediately following the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such draft. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at the rate set forth in (x) until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, Section 2.14(b) and (y) thereafter, Section 2.14(c). 3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower's obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower's Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (b) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be invalid, fraudulent or forged in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (c) any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee, (d) payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (e) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower's obligations hereunder. The Issuing Lender shall not have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Lender's failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 91

![](ex-102_thirdamendmenttoa117.jpg)

3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender and the Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 3.5. 3.8 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply. 3.9 Replacement and Resignation of Issuing Lenders. (a) An Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Lender and the successor Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.3. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term "Issuing Lender" shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lender, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or extend or otherwise amend any existing Letter of Credit. (b) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Lender, any Issuing Lender may resign as an Issuing Lender at any time upon thirty days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such resigning Issuing Lender shall be replaced in accordance with Section 3.9(a) above. 3.10 International Standby Practices. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by an Issuing Lender and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued by such Issuing Lender, the rules of the International Standby Practices shall be stated therein to apply to each standby Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuing Lender shall be responsible to the Borrower for, and such Issuing Lender's rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of such Issuing Lender required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the laws or any order of a jurisdiction where such Issuing Lender or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the International Standby Practices or Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the International Chamber of Commerce Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade, or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such laws or practice rules. 92

The projections and pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such projections and financial information as they relate to future events are not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein and such difference may be material. 4.19 Security Documents.

of paragraph (f) above with respect to the Borrower, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower declare the Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall at such time deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other Obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other Obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto). Except as expressly provided above in this Section 8, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. In addition to any other rights and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Loan Party or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, or consent to the use by the Loan Parties of any cash collateral arising in respect of the Collateral on such terms as the Administrative Agent deems reasonable, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver, or acquire by credit bid on behalf of the Lenders, the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's board or office of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or elsewhere, upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, all without assumption of 140

any credit risk. The Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Loan Party, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. The Borrower further agrees, at the Administrative Agent's request, to assemble, or cause the applicable Loan Party to assemble, the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at the Borrower's or such Loan Party's premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 8, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any other way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Loan Party. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower on behalf of itself and the other Loan Parties, waives all claims, damages and demands it or any other Loan Party may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any Lender arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. SECTION 9. THE AGENTS 9.1 Appointment. (a) As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each Lender; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification and is exculpated in a manner satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Lender in violation of any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 141

![](ex-102_thirdamendmenttoa167.jpg)

Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. (b) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors and assigns to serve as the administrative agent under the Loan Documents and each Lender and each Issuing Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents. (c) In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. The motivations of the Administrative Agent are commercial in nature and not to invest in the general performance or operations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender, other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term "agent" (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby. (d) Nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account. (e) The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities pursuant to this Agreement. The 142

Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent. (f) The Arrangers, the Persons listed as Co-Syndication Agents on the front page of this Agreement and the Persons listed as Co-Documentation Agents on the front page of this Agreement shall have no obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but all such persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder. (g) In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15, 2.17 and 9.3) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.3). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuing Lender in any such proceeding. (h) The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrower's rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions. Each Secured Party, whether or not 143

a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article. 9.2 Administrative Agent's Reliance, Indemnification, Etc..

(b) The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a "notice of default") is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items (which on their face purport to be such items) expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or (vi) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral.

making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Lender sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (vi) shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof). 9.3 Posting of Communications. (a) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders by posting the Communications on IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the "Approved Electronic Platform"). (b) Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Lenders and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Lenders and the Borrower hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution. (c) THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ARRANGER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, "APPLICABLE PARTIES") HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER, ANY ISSUING LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY 145

FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY'S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. (d) Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender's or Issuing Lender's (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address. (e) Each of the Lenders and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent's generally applicable document retention procedures and policies. (f) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document. 9.4 The Administrative Agent Individually. With respect to its Commitment and Loans, Letter of Credit Commitments and Letters of Credit, the Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be. The terms "Lenders", "Required Lenders" and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or as one of the Required Lenders, as applicable. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if such Person was not acting as the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders. 9.5 Successor Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days' prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank. In either case, (i) such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower (which approval may 146

![](ex-102_thirdamendmenttoa172.jpg)

not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and (ii) in no event shall a successor Administrative Agent be a Disqualified Lender. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. (b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section 9.5, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Security Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and continue to be entitled to the rights set forth in such Security Document and Loan Document, and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section 9.5 (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Security Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest), and (ii) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall directly be given or made to each Lender. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent's resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.3, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (i) above. 9.6 Acknowledgements of Lenders and Issuing Lenders. (a) Each Lender represents that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, (ii) in participating as a Lender, it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business, and not for the purpose of investing in the general performance or operations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof or for the purpose of purchasing, 147

acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument, such as a security (and each Lender hereby agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing, such as a claim under the federal or state securities laws) and (iii) that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. (b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the Closing Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Closing Date. 9.7 Collateral Matters. (a) Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.8 or with respect to a Secured Party's right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. (b) The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.3. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent's Lien thereon or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. 9.8 Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any 148

![](ex-102_thirdamendmenttoa174.jpg)

other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties' ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 10.1 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership interests, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid. 9.9 Certain ERISA Matters.

To the extent permitted by applicable law (i) the Borrower shall not assert, and the Borrower hereby waives, any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, and any Lender, and any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called a "Lender-Related Person") for any Liabilities arising from the use by others of information or other materials (including any personal data) obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), except to the extent such Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (x) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person and (ii) no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any Liabilities against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this paragraph shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee, as provided in the foregoing paragraph, against any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party. All amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor together with reasonably detailed backup documentation. The agreements in this Section 10.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent 155

![](ex-102_thirdamendmenttoa181.jpg)

shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 10.6. (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an "Assignee"), all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of: (A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; and provided, further, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless the Borrower shall expressly object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof; (B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of its Commitment or Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and (C) the Issuing Lender. (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitments or Loans, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; (B) (1) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee 156

------

![](ex-102_thirdamendmenttoa182.jpg)

of $3,500 and (2) the assigning Lender shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the Administrative Agent; and (C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the Assignee's compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws. For the purposes of this Section 10.6, "Approved Fund" means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender. (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18, 2.19, 2.20 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 10.6. (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing, to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms 157

------

![](ex-102_thirdamendmenttoa183.jpg)

hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee's completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph. (vi) Each assignee, by its execution and delivery of an Assignment and Assumption, shall be deemed to have represented to the assigning Lender and the Administrative Agent that such assignee is an Eligible Assignee. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any prospective assignee is an Eligible Assignee or have any liability with respect to any assignment made to a Disqualified Lender or any other Person that is not an Eligible Assignee. (c) Any Lender may, without the consent of or notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (i) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and (ii) directly affects such Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.22 with respect to any Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18, 2.19 and 2.20 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.19(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.19(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6; provided that such Participant (i) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6 and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.18 or 2.19, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent that such entitlement to receive a greater 158

------

![](ex-102_thirdamendmenttoa184.jpg)

payment results from an adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Closing Date that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central banking authority, and this Section 10.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in this paragraph (d). (e) [Reserved]. (f) The list of Disqualified Lenders (i) shall be made available to the Lenders by posting on IntraLinks/IntraAgency or another relevant Internet or intranet website, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent) and (ii) shall be provided to any Lender upon request by such Lender to the Administrative Agent. A Lender may provide the list of Disqualified Lenders to any potential assignee or participant on a confidential basis in accordance with Section 10.15 hereof for the purpose of verifying whether such Person is a Disqualified Lender. (g) (i) If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Lender in violation of this Section 10.6, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) purchase or prepay such Loan by paying the lowest of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such 159

------

![](ex-102_thirdamendmenttoa185.jpg)

Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such Loans, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and/or (B) require such Disqualified Lender to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 10.6), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lowest of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Lender paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder. (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Lenders (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Lender will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Lender consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any Bankruptcy Plan, each Disqualified Lender party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Bankruptcy Plan, (2) if such Disqualified Lender does vote on such Bankruptcy Plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be "designated" pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Bankruptcy Plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Debtor Relief Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the Bankruptcy Court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2). 10.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement or a court order expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender, if any Lender (a "Benefitted Lender") shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it (other than in connection with an assignment made pursuant to Section 10.6), or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest; provided further, that to the extent prohibited by applicable law as described 160

------

![](ex-102_thirdamendmenttoa186.jpg)

in the definition of "Excluded Swap Obligation," no amounts received from, or set-off with respect to, any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor. (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any Obligations becoming due and payable by the Borrower (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to apply to the payment of such Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, any affiliate thereof or any of their respective branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower; provided that if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff (i) all amounts so set-off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such application. 10.8 Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of (x) this Agreement, (y) any other Loan Document and/or (z) any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any notice delivered pursuant to Section 10.2), certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or thereby (each an "Ancillary Document") that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Ancillary Document, as applicable.

Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any affiliate thereof, (b) subject to an agreement to comply with the provisions of this Section 10.15, to any actual or prospective Transferee or any direct or indirect counterparty to any Swap Agreement (or any professional advisor to such counterparty), (c) to its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its affiliates, in each case, who are bound to maintain the confidentiality of such information, (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority or in response to any order or subpoena of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (e) that has been publicly disclosed not in breach of this Section 10.15 or becomes available to the Administrative Agent or such Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source that is not to the Administrative Agent's or such Lender's knowledge subject to confidentiality obligations to any Loan Party, (f) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender's investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, (g) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (h) to data service providers (including league table providers) that serve the lending industry to the extent such information is of the type customarily provided to such providers, (i) to credit insurers or (j) if agreed by the Borrower in its sole discretion, to any other Person.

expressly representing and warranting to the Administrative Agent in writing that such materials do not constitute material non-public information within the meaning of the federal securities laws or that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have no outstanding publicly traded securities, including 144A securities.

If any Borrower Materials are designated by the Loan Parties as "PRIVATE", such Borrower Materials will not be made available to that portion of the Platform designated "Public Investor," which is intended to contain only information that is either publicly available or not material information (though it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their securities for purposes of federal and state securities laws.

obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
