“The Borrower shall repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Class B Loans in consecutive quarterly installments in the Class B Amortization Amount on the last Business Day of each of March, June, September and December, commencing with June 30, 2020, except as the amounts of individual installments may be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof.”
2.3    Amendment to Section 2.4(a). Section 2.4(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the words “and Section 2.4(d)” after the reference to “subject to Section 2.4(c)”.
2.4    Amendment to Section 2.4. Section 2.4 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating clause (c) thereof in its entirety and adding the following to the end thereof as a new clause (d):
“(c)    Call Premium. In the event that, after the first anniversary of the Third Incremental Effective Date and on or prior to the second anniversary of the Third Incremental Effective Date, the Borrower (i) makes any prepayment of the Class B Loans in connection with any Repricing Transaction (as defined below) or (ii) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable account of each applicable Lender, a fee in an amount equal to, (x) in the case of clause (i), a prepayment premium of 1.0% of the amount of the Class B Loans being prepaid and (y) in the case of clause (ii), a payment equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount of the applicable Class B Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment. Such fees shall be due and payable within three (3) Business Days of the date of the effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction. For the purpose of this clause (c), “Repricing Transaction” means (a) any prepayment or repayment of the Class B Loans with the proceeds of, or any conversion of the Class B Loans into, any new or replacement tranche of loans bearing interest with an All-In Yield less than the All-In Yield applicable to the Class B Loans and (b) any amendment to the pricing terms of the Class B Loans which reduces the All-In Yield applicable to the Class B Loans; provided, that any prepayment or refinancing in connection with a Change of Control or any refinancing that involves an upsizing in connection with a Transformative Acquisition shall not be considered a Repricing Transaction.
(d)    Make Whole Premium. Upon the occurrence of a Prepayment Fee Trigger Event, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of any Lenders of Class B Loans, the Prepayment Fee and any payments required under Section 2.13. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is understood and agreed that if the Class B Loans are accelerated as a result of the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default (including by operation of law or otherwise), the Prepayment Fee, if any, determined as

4




of the date of acceleration, will also be due and payable and will be treated and deemed as through the Class B Loans were prepaid as of such date and shall constitute part of the Obligations for all purposes herein. Any Prepayment Fee payable in accordance with this Section 2.4(d) shall be presumed to be equal to the liquidated damages sustained by the Lenders holding Class B Loans as the result of the occurrence of the Prepayment Fee Trigger Event, and the Loan Parties agree that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Prepayment Fee, if any, shall also be payable in the event the Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. THE LOAN PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREPAYMENT FEE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Loan Parties expressly agree that (i) the Prepayment Fee is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (ii) the Prepayment Fee shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (iii) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders holding Class B Loans and the Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Fee, (iv) the Loan Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Section 2.4(d), (v) their agreement to pay the Prepayment Fee is a material inducement to the Lenders to provide and make the Class B Loans, and (vi) the Prepayment Fee represents a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lenders holding Class B Loans and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to such Lenders or profits lost by such Lenders as a result of such Prepayment Fee Trigger Event.”
2.5    Amendment to Section 2.16(b)(ii). Section 2.16(b)(ii) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“(ii)    such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.13) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts, including any amounts under Section 2.4(c) and 2.4(d));”
2.6    Amendment to Section 8.3. Section 8.3 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating the penultimate sentence thereof in its entirety as follows:
Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and Make Whole Premium, if any, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth payable to them; and”
Section 3.    Incremental Loans.
3.1    Incremental Loan.

(a)    Incremental Commitments. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver in writing of each condition precedent set forth in Section 4 hereof, and in reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Incremental Amendment, the Incremental Lender hereby agrees to make the Incremental Loans to the Borrower on the Effective Date (as defined below) in a principal amount not to exceed the amount set forth opposite the Incremental Lender’s name in Schedule A attached hereto (the “Incremental Commitments”). The Administrative Agent has notified the Incremental Lender of its allocated Incremental Commitment, and the Incremental Lender is a signatory to this Incremental Amendment.
(b)    Class of Loans. The Incremental Loans, once funded, shall constitute Loans but shall be in the form of a new Class of Loans, and in accordance with Section 2.17(a) of the Credit Agreement, the Incremental Loans and the Loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the Effective Date (such outstanding Loans, for the purposes of this Incremental Amendment, herein called the “Existing Loans”) shall be treated as separate Classes of Loans for all purposes under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, with the Existing Loans constituting Class A Loans and the Incremental Loans constituting Class B Loans.
(c)    Tax Nonfungibility. After giving effect to this Incremental Amendment, the Class A Loans will not be fungible with the Class B Loans for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes.  Unless otherwise required by applicable law, none of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall take any tax position inconsistent with the preceding sentence.
(d)    Incremental Incurrence Basket. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that all of the Incremental Loans are being incurred under the Incurrence-Based Incremental Amount.
(e)    Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Loans (i) for general corporate purposes and (ii) to pay fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing and the preparation and negotiation of this Incremental Amendment and the funding of the Incremental Loans.

The Incremental Lender agrees that (i) effective on and at all times after the Effective Date, the Incremental Lender will be bound by all obligations of a Lender under the Credit Agreement and (ii) on the Effective Date, the Incremental Lender will fund Incremental Loans in Dollars to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower in an amount equal to the Incremental Lender’s Incremental Commitment. The Incremental Commitment shall terminate on the Effective Date following the funding to the Borrower in full in immediately available funds of the Incremental Commitment.
(g)    OID Amount. The Incremental Loans will be funded net of an original issue discount in an amount equal to 7.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, the full amount of the Incremental Loans (without taking into account any netting of the OID Amount occurring on the Effective Date) shall be repaid under the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, in accordance with Sections 2.3 and 2.4 of the Credit Agreement) and interest shall be payable on the full amount of the Incremental Loans (without taking into account any netting of the OID Amount occurring on the Effective Date) in accordance with Section 2.5 of the Credit Agreement.

6




(h)    Credit Agreement Governs. Except as otherwise stated herein, the terms of the Incremental Loans shall be the same as the terms of the Existing Loans as set forth in the Credit Agreement. Incremental Loans that are repaid may not be reborrowed.

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Incremental Loans shall share in mandatory prepayments of Loans under Section 2.4(b) of the Credit Agreement on a pro rata basis with the Existing Loans and in voluntary prepayments of Loans under Section 2.4(a) of the Credit Agreement on a pro rata basis with the Existing Loans and (ii) the amortization set forth in Section 2.3 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to the Incremental Loans and Existing Loans.
(j)    Interest Period; Interest Rate. The Incremental Loans shall be initially incurred pursuant to a single borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans, with such borrowing to be subject to an Interest Period which commences on the Effective Date and ends on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to the Existing Loans. The Incremental Loans shall bear interest in accordance with the Credit Agreement as hereby amended. The Administrative Agent shall record the Incremental Loans in the Register, and the principal amounts and stated interest of the Incremental Loans owing to the Incremental Lender and its subsequent permitted assignees.
(k)    Procedure for Funding of Incremental Loans. This Incremental Amendment shall serve as sufficient notice for the borrowing of the Incremental Loans on the Effective Date.
