WHEREAS, reference
is hereby made to the Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of October 10, 2012 (as it may be amended, restated, supplemented
or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement’’; the terms defined therein and not otherwise
defined herein being used herein as therein defined), by and among the Borrower, Holdings, the other Guarantors party thereto,

WHEREAS, subject to
the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, Borrower may establish additional Incremental Term Loan Commitments by entering

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

The Incremental Term Loan
Lender hereby commits to provide the Commitment as set forth on Schedule A annexed hereto, on the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth below:

 

The Incremental Term Loan
Lender (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with copies of the
financial statements referred to therein and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into this Joinder Agreement (this “Agreement”); (ii) agrees that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or Agent and based on such documents and information
as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit
Agreement; (iii) appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and
to exercise such powers under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to Administrative Agent and Collateral
Agent, as the case may be, by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (iv) agrees
that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement are required
to be performed by it as a Lender.

 

The Incremental Term Loan
Lender hereby agrees to extend Term Loans to the Borrower on the following terms and conditions and in accordance with the terms
and provisions of the Credit Agreement:

 

		1.	Incremental Term Loans. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that the term loans
made on the Increased Amount Date (the “Incremental Term Loans”) although funded as a separate Series of Term
Loans shall not be treated as a separate Class of Term Loans under the Loan Documents, but shall instead be treated as part of
the same Class as the Tranche B Term Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that
the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all such Incremental Term Loans
may be treated as such Tranche B Term Loans for all purposes under the Loan Documents.

 

    	1

    	 

    

 

		2.	Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date. The Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date for the Incremental
Term Loans shall be (i) the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, and (ii) the date on which all Tranche B Term Loans shall become
due and payable in full under the Credit Agreement, whether by acceleration or otherwise. If the Incremental Term Loan Maturity
Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the Incremental Term Loan Maturity Date shall be the immediately preceding
Business Day.

 

		3.	Applicable Margin.

 

		i.	Base Rate Loans: The Applicable Margin for Incremental Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans shall
be, as of any date of determination, 2.25% per annum.

 

		ii.	Eurodollar Rate Loans: The Applicable Margin for Incremental Term Loans that are Eurodollar Rate
Loans shall be, as of any date of determination, 3.25% per annum.

 

		4.	Voluntary and Mandatory Prepayments. The principal amount of Incremental Term Loans and
the principal amounts of the existing Term Loans shall be repaid in consecutive quarterly installments in an aggregate amount equal
to $6,178,404.61 with the next payment on June 30, 2015 and then quarterly thereafter as provided in Section 2.12 of the Credit
Agreement, and Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to reflect such amounts as the Installments of Term Loans
payable on each Installment Date commencing on June 30, 2015, as set forth therein. The unpaid balance of all Term Loans, including
the Incremental Term Loans hereunder, shall be due and payable on the Tranche B Term Loan Maturity Date. The scheduled Installments
set forth above shall be reduced in connection with any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans in accordance with
Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 of the Credit Agreement.

 

		5.	[Reserved]

 

		6.	Proposed Borrowing. This Agreement represents Borrower’s request to borrow Incremental
Term Loans from Incremental Term Loan Lender as follows (the “Proposed Borrowing”):

 

		a.	Business Day of Proposed Borrowing: April 30, 2015

 

		b.	Amount of Proposed Borrowing: $75,000,000

x
b. Eurodollar Rate Loans in the amount of $73,026,315.79 with an initial Interest Period ending October 10, 2015.

 

		7.	Credit Agreement Governs. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the Incremental Term Loans
shall otherwise be subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

		8.	Conditions

    	2

		iii.	Borrower shall have paid or cause to be paid the reasonable expenses of the Incremental Term Loan

		iv.	Borrower shall have, on the Effective Date, paid all interest due under Section 2.08 of the Credit
Agreement with respect to all Term Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement as if the Effective Date were the applicable Interest

including any acquisitions consummated with the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans or dispositions after the beginning of the
determination period but prior to or simultaneous with the borrowing of such Incremental Term Loans; and

 

		iv.	The representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and in the other Loan Documents
shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof to the same extent as though made on and as of
the date hereof, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case
such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date; provided, that
to the extent any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality or material adverse effect, such representation
or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects.

 

		10.	Eligible Assignee. By its execution of this Agreement, the Incremental Term Loan Lender
represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee.

 

		11.	Notice. For purposes of the Credit Agreement, the initial notice address of the Incremental

BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT
OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

		17.	Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without
rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability

to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature
page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart

and conditions of the Credit Agreement as a Lender thereunder and under each and every other Loan Document to which any Lender is required to be bound by the Credit Agreement, to the same extent as if such New Lender were an original signatory
thereto. Each New Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Credit Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the
terms thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each New Lender represents and warrants that (a) it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this
Fourth Amendment, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to become a Lender under the Credit Agreement, (b) it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to
Section 8.01 thereof, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Fourth Amendment and to become a Lender on the basis of which it has made such analysis
and decision independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and (c) from and after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, it shall be a party to and be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder.

and effect in accordance with its terms following the effectiveness of this Fourth Amendment, and this Fourth Amendment shall not 

  
 Page 3 

 
constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, except as expressly provided for herein. Each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this
Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof’, “herein”, or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby, and each reference to the Credit Agreement in any other document,
instrument or agreement executed and/or delivered in connection with the Credit Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby. 

6.2 Ratification and Affirmation of Loan Parties. Each of the Loan Parties hereby expressly (i) acknowledges the terms of this

Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, (iv) agrees that its guarantee under the Guaranty and Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party remains in full force and effect with respect to
the Obligations as amended hereby, (v) represents and warrants to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent that each representation and warranty of such Loan Party contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a
party is true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof and after giving effect to the amendments set forth in Section 2 hereof except (A) to the extent any such representations and warranties are expressly limited
to an earlier date, in which case, on and as of the date hereof, such representations and warranties shall continue to be true and correct as of such specified earlier date, and (B) to the extent that any such representation and warranty is
expressly qualified by materiality or by reference to Material Adverse Effect, such representation and warranty (as so qualified) shall continue to be true and correct in all respects, (vi) represents and warrants to the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent that the execution, delivery and performance by such Loan Party of this Fourth Amendment are within such Loan Party’s corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company powers (as applicable), have been duly
authorized by all necessary action and that this Fourth Amendment constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency
or similar laws affecting creditor’s rights generally, and (vii) represents and warrants to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent that, after giving effect to this Fourth Amendment, no Event of Default exists. 

6.3 Counterparts. This Fourth Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto in any number of separate counterparts,
and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of this Fourth Amendment by facsimile or electronic (e.g. pdf) transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
original counterpart hereof. 
 6.4 No Oral Agreement. THIS WRITTEN FOURTH
AMENDMENT, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN
CONNECTION HEREWITH AND THEREWITH REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES
AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR
UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO SUBSEQUENT ORAL
AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES THAT MODIFY THE AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Fourth Amendment, any other documents prepared in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby,
including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent.

provision of this Fourth Amendment which 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,
