1.    Amendments.

(a)    Section 8.11(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:

(a) Consolidated Leverage Ratio. Permit the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the end of any fiscal quarter of the Borrower (i) ending during the period from the Closing Date through and including April 1, 2023 to be greater than 3.00 to 1.0; (ii) ending during the period from April 2, 2023 through and including September 30, 2023 to be greater than 4.00 to 1.0; (iii) ending during the period from October 1, 2023 through and including March 30, 2024 to be greater than 3.50 to 1.0 and (iv) ending thereafter to be greater than 3.00 to 1.0; provided, however, that in connection with any Permitted Acquisition for which the purchase consideration equals or exceeds $300,000,000, upon written notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the maximum permitted Consolidated Leverage Ratio for each of the four consecutive fiscal quarters, beginning with the fiscal quarter in which such Permitted Acquisition occurs (such period, the “Adjustment Period”), shall be increased by 0.50 to 1.0. Following the expiration of any Adjustment Period, the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio cannot be subsequently increased again as provided in this proviso (and a subsequent Adjustment Period cannot commence) until the Borrower has delivered quarterly Compliance Certificates evidencing that it was in compliance with the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio as set forth in this Section 8.11 (after the decrease in such maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio following the termination of such Adjustment Period) for two consecutive fiscal quarters; providedfurther, that the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio may be increased no more than two times during the term of this Agreement.

2.    Effectiveness; Conditions Precedent. This Agreement shall be effective upon:

(a)    receipt by the Administrative Agent of copies of this Agreement duly executed by the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders; and

(b)    payment by the Borrower of (i) all agreed fees of the Lenders and the Arranger and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the

3.    Authority/Enforceability. Each Loan Party represents and warrants as follows:

(a)It has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

(b)This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable Debtor Relief Laws and to general principles of equity.

(c)No approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is necessary or required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by such Loan Party of this Agreement other than those that have already been obtained and are in full force and effect.

(d)The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not (i) contravene the terms of its Organization Documents or (ii) violate any applicable material Law in any material respect.

4.    Representations and Warranties of the Loan Parties. Each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Lenders that after giving effect to this Agreement (a) the representations and warranties set forth in Article VI of the Credit Agreement or in any other Loan Document or which are contained in any document furnished at any time under or in connection therewith are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (provided that if any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, it shall be true and correct in all respects on such respective dates) and(b) no event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes a Default.

5.    Counterparts/Electronic Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.  Section 11.17 of the Credit Agreement is incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis.

6.    GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

7.    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

8.    Headings. The headings of the sections hereof are provided for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

9.    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. This Agreement is a Loan Document.
