(c)Section 2.09 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“SECTION 2.09. Extension of Maturity Date

(d). The Company may, from time to time, by delivery of a Maturity Date Extension Request to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders of the applicable Class of Loans) not less than 45 days (or such shorter period of time as may be agreed between the Company and the Administrative Agent) and not more than 75 days prior to (x) any anniversary of the Effective Date or (y) the Maturity Date of the 2019 Incremental Term Loans (as applicable), request that the Lenders of the applicable Class of Revolving Loans and Commitments, Swingline Loans and/or 2019 Incremental Term Loans extend the Existing Maturity Date (I) in respect of Revolving Borrowings and Swingline Loans for an additional period of one year and (II) in respect of 2019 Incremental Term Loans for an additional period of up to 364 days as specified in the applicable Maturity Date Extension Request. Each Lender of the applicable Class shall, by notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent given not later than the 20th day after the date of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Maturity Date Extension Request from the Company, advise the Company whether or not in its sole discretion it agrees to the requested extension (each Lender of the applicable Class agreeing to a requested extension being called a “Consenting Lender”, and each Lender of the applicable Class declining to agree to a requested extension being called a “Declining Lender”).  Any Lender of the applicable Class that has not so advised the Company and the Administrative Agent by such day shall be deemed to have declined to agree to such extension and shall be a Declining Lender.  If Lenders constituting the Required Lenders shall have agreed to a Maturity Date Extension Request in respect of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Borrowings, then the Maturity Date shall, as to the applicable Consenting Lenders, be extended to the first anniversary of the Maturity Date in respect of Revolving Borrowings theretofore in effect.

Date pursuant to this paragraph (and, in any event, no later than the Existing Maturity Date)) and (b) no extension of the Existing Maturity Date pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective unless on the Extension Date that immediately follows the date on which the Company delivers the applicable Maturity Date Extension Request,the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall be satisfied (with all references in such Section to a Borrowing being deemed to be references to such extension and without giving effect to the parenthetical in Section 4.02(a)) and, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Company as well as documents consistent with those delivered under Sections 4.01(b) and 4.01(c) as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrowers to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such extension.”
