NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing 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. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein (including in the preamble and the recitals hereto) shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby (regardless of whether such amendments have taken effect).

SECTION 2. Replacement Term Loans

(a)(i) Subject to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby), the 2022 Replacement Term Lenders hereby severally agree to make 2022 Replacement Term Loans in Dollars to the Borrower on the Sixth Amendment Closing Date (as defined below) in the aggregate principal amount of $644,432,743.72 to refinance all outstanding Original 2020 Replaced Term Loans in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below) and this Sixth Amendment. It is understood and agreed that the 2022 Replacement Term Loans being made pursuant to this Sixth Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement shall constitute “Replacement Term Loans” as defined in, and pursuant to, Section 9.02(c)(i) of the Credit Agreement and the Original 2020 Replaced Term Loans being refinanced shall constitute “Replaced Term Loans” as defined in, and pursuant to, Section 9.02(c)(i) of the Credit Agreement. Except as expressly provided in this Sixth Amendment (including as to the Applicable Rate) and the Amended Credit Agreement, the 2022 Replacement Term Loans shall be on terms identical to the Original 2020 Replaced Term Loans (including as to maturity, Guarantors, Collateral (and ranking) and payment priority).

(ii) On the Sixth Amendment Closing Date, all then outstanding Original 2020 Replaced Term Loans shall be refinanced in full as follows:

(w) The outstanding principal amount of the Original 2020 Replaced Term Loans of each Lender which (i) is an existing Lender under the Credit Agreement prior to giving effect to this Sixth Amendment (each, an “Existing Lender”) and (ii) is not party hereto as a 2022 Replacement Term Lender (a Lender meeting the requirements of clauses (i) and (ii), each, a “Non- Converting Lender”) shall be repaid in full in Cash.

(x) To the extent any Existing Lender has a 2022 Replacement Term Loan Conversion Amount (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) that is less than the full outstanding principal amount of the Original 2020 Replaced Term Loan of such Lender, such Lender shall be repaid in Cash in an amount equal to the difference between the outstanding principal amount of the Original 2020 Replaced Term Loan of such Lender and such Lender’s 2022 Replacement Term Loan Conversion Amount (the “Non-Converting Portion”).

 

2


(y) The outstanding principal amount of the Original 2020 Replaced Term Loan of each Existing Lender which has executed this Sixth Amendment as a “2022 Converting Lender” (each, a “2022 Converting Lender”) shall automatically be converted into a term loan (each, a “Converted 2022 Replacement Term Loan”) in a principal amount equal to such 2022 Converting Lender’s 2022 Replacement Term Loan Conversion Amount (each such conversion, a “2022 Term Loan Conversion”).

(z) Each Person that has executed this Sixth Amendment as a “New 2022 Replacement Lender” (each, a “New 2022 Replacement Lender” and, together with the 2022 Converting Lenders, collectively, the “2022 Replacement Term Lenders”) severally agrees to make to the Borrower a new term loan (each, a “New 2022 Replacement Term Loan” and, collectively, the “New 2022 Replacement Term Loans” and, together with the Converted 2022 Replacement Term Loans, the “2022 Replacement Term Loans”) in Dollars in a principal amount equal to the amount set forth opposite such New 2022 Replacement Lender’s name on Schedule I hereto (as to any New 2022 Replacement Lender, its “2022 Replacement Term Loan Commitment”) on the Sixth Amendment Closing Date.

(iii) Each 2022 Replacement Term Lender hereby agrees to “fund” its 2022 Replacement Term Loan as follows: (x) each 2022 Converting Lender shall “fund” its 2022 Replacement Term Loan to the Borrower by converting all or a portion of its then outstanding principal amount of Original 2020 Replaced Term Loan into a 2022 Replacement Term Loan in a principal amount equal to such 2022 Converting Lender’s 2022 Replacement Term Loan Conversion Amount as provided in clause (ii)(y) above and (y) each New 2022 Replacement Lender shall fund in Cash to the Borrower in an amount equal to such New 2022 Replacement Term Lender’s 2022 Replacement Term Loan Commitment.

(iv) On the Sixth Amendment Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay in Cash (a) all accrued and unpaid interest on the Original 2020 Replaced Term Loans through the Sixth Amendment Closing Date and (b) to each Non-Converting Lender and each 2022 Converting Lender with a Non-Converting Portion (solely with respect to such Non-Converting Portion), any breakage loss or expenses due under Section 2.15 of the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Credit Agreement, each 2022 Converting Lender agrees, and each Existing Lender agrees (by execution of an Assignment and Assumption with respect to any 2022 Replacement Term Loans), to waive any entitlement to any breakage loss or expenses due under Section 2.15 of the Credit Agreement with respect to the repayment of any Original 2020 Replaced Term Loans of any such Lender with the proceeds of 2022 Replacement Term Loans on the Sixth Amendment Closing Date.

(v) Promptly following the Sixth Amendment Closing Date, all Promissory Notes, if any, evidencing the Original 2020 Replaced Term Loans shall be cancelled and returned to the Borrower, and any 2022 Replacement Term Lender may request that its 2022 Replacement Term Loan be evidenced by a Promissory Note pursuant to Section 2.09(f) of the Credit Agreement.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Credit Agreement, all proceeds of the New 2022 Replacement Term Loans (if any) will be used solely to repay outstanding Original 2020 Replaced Term Loans of Non-Converting Lenders (if any) and outstanding Original 2020 Replaced Term Loans of 2022 Converting Lenders in an amount equal to the Non-Converting Portion (if any) of such 2022 Converting Lenders’ Original 2020 Replaced Term Loans, in each case, on the Sixth Amendment Closing Date.
