Section 2. Tranche A Incremental Term Loan Facility.

(a)     Generally. Effective as of the Incremental Agreement Effective Date, each Tranche A Term Loan Lender hereby provides Incremental Term Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans in an amount equal to the amount next to its name on Annex I (such amount a “Tranche A Term Loan Commitment” and, collectively, the “Tranche A Term Loan Commitments”) and hereby agrees, severally, and not jointly, to make term loans in Dollars (the “Tranche A Term Loans”) to the Borrower on the Tranche A Term Loan Funding Date (as defined below) in an aggregate principal amount up to

Any Tranche A Term Loans borrowed and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Each Tranche A Term Loan Lender’s Tranche A Term Loan Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further action on the Tranche A Term Loan Funding Date after giving effect to the funding of such Tranche A Term Loan Lender’s Tranche A Term Loan on such date. Further, to the extent that the Tranche A Term Loan Funding Date does not occur on or before June 1, 2022, the Tranche A Term Loan Commitments shall terminate and be of no further force and effect and no Tranche A Term Loan Lender shall have any obligation to fund a Tranche A Term Loan.

The parties hereto agree that (i) the Tranche A Term Loans shall be deemed to be “Loans”, and “Incremental Term Loans” as defined in the Credit Agreement for all purposes of the Loan Documents, (ii) the Tranche A Term Loan Commitments shall be deemed to be “Commitments” and “Term Loan Commitments” as defined in the Credit Agreement for all purposes of the Loan Documents and (iii) the Tranche A Term Loan Lenders shall be deemed to be “Incremental Term Lenders” and “Lenders” as defined in the Credit Agreement for all purposes of the Loan Documents. Each party hereto further acknowledges and agrees that the Tranche A Term Loans will constitute “Obligations” under and as defined in the Credit Agreement (as amended by this Incremental Agreement) and shall be secured and guaranteed with the other Obligations of the Loan Parties on a pari passu basis in accordance with the Loan Documents.

(b)     Requests for Borrowing and Funding.

(i)    Notice of Term Loan Borrowing. The Borrower shall request the Tranche A Term Loan Borrowing by delivering a Committed Loan Notice to the Agent (“Notice of Term Loan Borrowing”) not later than (A) 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Agent) prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of SOFR loans or (B) 11:00 a.m. one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. The Notice of Term Loan Borrowing shall certify that the conditions to funding the Tranche A Term Loans specified in clause (c) below have been satisfied (or will be satisfied as of the requested date of borrowing) and shall specify (A) that a Tranche A Term Loan is requested, (B) the date of the requested Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day and shall not be prior to December 27, 2021)(the “Tranche A Term Loan Funding Date”), (C) the aggregate principal amount to be borrowed and (D) whether the Borrowing shall be comprised of Base Rate Loans, SOFR Loans or a combination thereof, and if SOFR Loans are requested, the Interest Period(s) therefor. If the Borrower shall fail to specify in the Notice of Term Loan Borrowing (1) an applicable Interest Period in the case of a SOFR Loan, then such notice shall be deemed to be a request for an Interest Period of one month, or (2) the Type of Tranche A Term Loan requested, then such notice shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan. The Agent shall give notice to each Tranche A Term Loan Lender promptly upon receipt of the Notice of Term Loan Borrowing, the contents thereof and each such Tranche A Term Loan Lender’s share thereof.

(ii)    Minimum Amounts. The Tranche A Term Loan shall be available in a single drawing on the Tranche A Term Loan Funding Date and shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $50,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(iii)    Advances. (A) Each Tranche A Term Loan Lender will make its pro rata share of the Tranche A Term Loan borrowing available to JPMorgan in Same Day Funds for the account of the Borrower at JPMorgan’s office as instructed by the Agent, by 10:00 A.M. on the Tranche A Term Loan Funding Date.

(B) Unless JPMorgan shall have received notice from a Tranche A Term Loan Lender prior to 9 A.M. on the Tranche A Term Loan Funding Date that such Tranche A Term Loan Lender will not make available to JPMorgan such Tranche A Term Loan Lender’s share of such borrowing, JPMorgan may assume that such Tranche A Term Loan Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with this Section 2(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Tranche A Term Loan Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable borrowing available to JPMorgan, then the applicable Tranche A Term Loan Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to JPMorgan forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available

funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to JPMorgan, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Tranche A Term Loan Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by JPMorgan in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by JPMorgan in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Tranche A Term Loan Lender shall pay such interest to JPMorgan for the same or an overlapping period, JPMorgan shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Tranche A Term Loan Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to JPMorgan, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Tranche A Term Loan Lender’s Loan included in such borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Tranche A Term Loan Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to JPMorgan. A notice of JPMorgan to any Tranche A Term Loan Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this clause (B) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(C) Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2(c) below, JPMorgan shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by JPMorgan either by (x) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of JPMorgan with the amount of such funds or (y) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) JPMorgan.
