WHEREAS, the Intercreditor Agent is executing this amendment as set forth herein pursuant to Section 23.16 (Amendments) of the Common Terms Agreement, Section 10.01 (Decisions; Amendments, Etc.) of the Term Loan Facility Agreement, Section 11.01 (Decisions; Amendments, Etc.) of the Working Capital Facility Agreement, Section 3 (Voting and Decision Making) and Section 4 (Modifications; Instructions; Other Relationships) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1. Amendments to Common Terms Agreement. The Borrower, the Guarantors and the Intercreditor Agent each agree that the Common Terms Agreement is hereby amended by:

(a) amending and restating Section 23.25 in its entirety (Effect of Benchmark Transition Event) to read as follows:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Facility Agreement:

(a)      Replacing LIBOR

On March 5, 2021 the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of LIBOR’s administrator (“IBA”), announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month LIBOR tenor settings. On the earlier of (i) the date that all Available Tenors of LIBOR have either permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by IBA or have been announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative and (ii) the Early Opt-in Effective Date, if the then-current Benchmark is LIBOR, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Facility Agreement in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Facility Agreement. If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.

(b)    Replacing Future Benchmarks

Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Facility Agreement in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth (5th) 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 Facility Agreement so long as the Intercreditor Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Intercreditor Parties. At any time that the administrator of the then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored, the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Intercreditor Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans (as defined in the applicable Facility Agreement). During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, the component of Base Rate based upon the Benchmark will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.

(c)     Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes

In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Intercreditor 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 Facility Agreement, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(d)     Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations

The Intercreditor Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Intercreditor Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 23.25, 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, 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 hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 23.25.

        (e)     Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark

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 or LIBOR), then the Intercreditor Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (ii) the Intercreditor Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.

(f)    Facility Agreements

The provisions of this Section 23.25 shall apply to all Facility Agreements and to the extent any provisions of this Section 23.25 and the definitions used herein are inconsistent with any provision of such Facility Agreements, the provisions of this Section 23.25 shall be controlling.

“Benchmark” means, initially, LIBOR; provided that if a replacement of the Benchmark has occurred pursuant to Section 23.25, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate.

(b) the sum of: (i) Daily Simple SOFR and (ii) the spread adjustment selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement of the tenor of LIBOR with a SOFR-based rate having approximately the same length as the interest payment period specified in Section 23.25; and

(2)    For purposes of Section 23.25(b) (Replacing Future Benchmarks), the sum of (a) the alternate benchmark rate and (b) an adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), in each case, that has been selected by Intercreditor Agent in consultation with the Borrower as the replacement for such Available Tenor of such Benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then-prevailing market convention, including any applicable

recommendations made by the Relevant Governmental Body, for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time;

provided that, if the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents.

“Daily Simple SOFR” means, for any day, SOFR, with the conventions for this rate (which will include a lookback) being established by the Intercreditor Agent in accordance with the conventions for this rate recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for determining “Daily Simple SOFR” for syndicated business loans; provided that, if the Intercreditor Agent decides that any such convention is not administratively feasible for the Intercreditor Agent, then the Intercreditor Agent may establish another convention in its reasonable discretion

“Early Opt-in Election” means the occurrence of:

(1) a notification by the Intercreditor Agent to (or the request by the Borrower to the Intercreditor Agent to notify) the Borrower and each Facility Agent that at least five currently outstanding U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time contain (as a result of amendment or as originally executed) a SOFR-based rate (including SOFR, a term SOFR or any other rate based upon SOFR) as a benchmark rate (and such syndicated credit facilities are identified in such notice and are publicly available for review), and
