(together with the Parent, each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”), the Lenders (as defined below) party hereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (in such capacity,
the “Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders and as issuing lender (in such capacity, the “Issuing Lender”). 

RECITALS 

A.    The Parent, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, and the financial institutions party thereto
from time to time, as lenders (the “Lenders”) are parties to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of September 12, 2016 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit
Agreement”). 
 B.    The Borrower has requested that the Lenders amend the Credit Agreement as provided herein
and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants,
representations and warranties contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 

Section 1.    Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, each of the terms defined in the opening
paragraph and the Recitals above shall have the meanings assigned to such terms therein. Each term defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein without definition shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Credit Agreement, unless
expressly provided to the contrary. 
 Section 2.    Other Definitional Provisions. The definitions
of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,”
“includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” Unless the
context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein), (b) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns, (c) the words
“herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (d) all references herein to Articles,
Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement, (e) any reference to any law or regulation herein shall, unless otherwise specified, refer to such law or
regulation as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, and (f) the words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets
and properties, including cash, securities, accounts and contract rights. Titles and captions of Articles, Sections and subsections in this Agreement are for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the provisions of this Agreement. 

 Section 3.    Amendments to Credit Agreement.  

(a)    Section 1.01 (Certain Defined Terms) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new
definition in the appropriate alphabetical order therein: 
 “Zero Balance Account” means a zero balance
account of a Loan Party maintained by Bank of America, N.A. (or any other financial institution with the consent of the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that, (a) such account must
have the zero balance function active at all times, (b) no Loan Party may have the ability to disable the zero balance function on such account, and (c) such account may not contain a balance of more than $0 for more than twenty four hours
(for the avoidance of doubt, (i) zero balance accounts shall be considered Deposit Accounts and (ii) should any Deposit Account fail to meet any of the requirements in the foregoing proviso, then such Deposit Account shall cease to be a
Zero Balance Account at such time and shall be subject to the applicable requirements of Section 6.26). 

(b)    Section 6.26 (Deposit Accounts; Securities Accounts) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated
in its entirety to read as follows: 
 Section 6.26 Deposit Accounts; Securities Accounts. No Loan Party
shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries that is a Loan Party to, (a) maintain deposit accounts with any Person other than a Lender and which is subject to Account Control Agreements, or (b) maintain securities accounts that are
not subject to Account Control Agreements; provided that, the requirements of the foregoing Section 6.26(a) shall not apply to (i) deposit accounts holding exclusively Excluded Funds (other than Cash Collateral Accounts), (ii) deposit
accounts and securities accounts to the extent, and only to the extent, constituting “Excluded Collateral” under Section 2.1(b)(v) or Section 2.1(b)(vi) of the Security Agreement, (iii) petty cash accounts with an amount not to exceed
$250,000 in the aggregate, and (iv) only as to the requirement regarding Account Control Agreements, the Zero Balance Accounts; provided, however, (A) in the event any Loan Party acquires any deposit account or securities account
pursuant to an Acquisition, such Loan Party shall have thirty (30) days from the date of such Acquisition (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree to in its sole discretion) to deliver to the Administrative Agent an Account
Control Agreement therefor, and (B) as to any deposit accounts or securities accounts held with Bank of America, N.A. on the Closing Date, such Loan Party shall have thirty (30) days from the Closing Date (or such later date as the
Administrative Agent may agree to in its sole discretion) to deliver to the Administrative Agent the Account Control Agreements therefor. Holdings and the Borrower, for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries that are Loan Parties, hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver notices to the depositary banks and securities intermediaries pursuant to any Account Control Agreement under any one or more of the following circumstances: (i) following the occurrence of and
during the continuation of an Event of Default, (ii) if the Administrative Agent reasonably believes that a requested transfer by Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, as applicable, is a request to transfer any funds from any account to
any other account of Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary that is not permitted under this Section 6.26, (iii) as otherwise agreed to in writing by Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, as applicable, and (iv) as otherwise
permitted by applicable Legal Requirement. 
 (c)    The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the words
“deposit account” and “deposit accounts” wherever they appear with the words “Deposit Account” or “Deposit Accounts”, as applicable.

extent that any such representation or warranty expressly relates solely to an earlier date, in which case it shall have been true and correct in all material respects (unless already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Change in the text
thereof, in which case, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date; 

(b)    after giving effect hereto, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
