WHEREAS, Borrower, Holdings, the other Credit Parties, Agent and the other Lenders from time to time party thereto are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of October 31, 2018 (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of September 12, 2019, as amended by that certain Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 30, 2021, and as further amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”; unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Existing Credit Agreement as amended hereby (the “Credit Agreement”)); and

WHEREAS, the Credit Parties have requested that the Agent and Lenders amend certain provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement, and, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein, Agent and the Lenders signatory hereto are willing to do so, on the terms set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

A.
Notice of benchmark replacement.

In order to facilitate this Amendment, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that:

2.

3.
To the extent that the Agent or any other party to the Credit Agreement is required to provide notice of the replacement of LIBOR with Adjusted Term SOFR as the alternative benchmark rate for purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that such notice requirements have been satisfied.

 

4.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Credit Agreement (including for the avoidance of doubt, the definition of “Interest Period” set forth therein), each LIBOR Rate Loan outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date shall be permitted to continue to accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (a) LIBOR determined for such day plus (b) the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans (in each

case as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date) through and until the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loans as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date, and, thereafter, all existing LIBOR Rate Loans shall, immediately following the last day of the current Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loans, respectively, be converted to SOFR Loans with an Interest Period of one-month’s duration. Any obligation of the Borrower to (x) provide prior notice to the Lenders or the Agent to convert such LIBOR Rate Loans and (y) indemnify any Lender for any loss, cost and expense pursuant to Section 11.4 of the Credit Agreement as a result of such conversion is hereby waived by the Lenders and the Agent.
