 (c) Interpretation. For purposes of this Amendment No. 2, all terms used herein
which are not otherwise defined herein, including but not limited to, those terms used in the recitals hereto, shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Loan Agreement as amended by this Amendment No. 2. 

2. Transactions with Affiliates. 
 Section 9.12(b)(ii) of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following substituted therefor: 

“(ii) payments by Borrowers or Guarantors to KPS and its Affiliates (A) of a management fee in an aggregate
amount per calendar quarter not to exceed $250,000 for all such payments in such calendar quarter (the “Quarterly Amount”); provided, that, as to any such payment, as of the date of such payment and after giving effect
thereto, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom; provided, that, if the aggregate amount of management fees paid by Borrowers and Guarantors under this Section 9.12(b)(ii) during
any calendar quarter is less than the Quarterly Amount for such calendar quarter, then the Quarterly Amount for the next calendar quarter shall be increased by an amount equal to such shortfall, and (B) in the event the management fees that are
permitted to be paid pursuant to this Section 9.12(b)(ii) become accelerated and are immediately due and payable as a result of the termination of the associated management arrangement (and the termination of the obligation to make such
payments in the future) upon the consummation of a Qualified IPO (or if the management arrangement terminates and such fees become payable within 90 days thereafter), in consideration of such termination, in an aggregate amount not to exceed
$6,000,000 (the “Sponsor Management Agreement Termination Fees”); provided, that, as to any such payment, as of the date of such payment and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or would result therefrom;” 
 3. Amendment Fee. In consideration of the amendments set forth herein,
Borrowers shall on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders who have executed this Amendment No. 2 on or before the date hereof, or Agent, at its option, may charge the loan account of Borrowers
maintained by Agent, an amendment fee in the amount equal to ten one-hundredths of one (.10%) percent of the aggregate Commitment of each such Lender, which fee is fully earned and payable as of Amendment No. 2 Effective Date and shall
constitute part of the Obligations. 
 4. Consent to Term Loan Amendment. The Lenders party hereto hereby consent to
Amendment No. 2 to Credit and Guaranty Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A.

operating agreement or other organizational documentation, or any indenture, agreement or undertaking to which any Borrower or Guarantor is a party or by which any Borrower or Guarantor or its property are bound; and 

(d) all of the representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, each as amended hereby,

entitled to any other or further amendment or consent by virtue of the provisions of this Amendment No. 2 or with respect to the subject matter of this Amendment No. 2. To the extent of conflict between the terms of this Amendment
No. 2 and the other Financing Agreements, the terms of this Amendment No. 2 shall control. The Loan Agreement and this Amendment No. 2 shall be read and construed as one agreement. 

8. Governing Law. The validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Amendment No. 2 and any dispute arising out of the
relationship between the parties hereto whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York but excluding any principles of conflicts of law or other rule of law that would cause the
