WHEREAS, the Borrower, Holdings, the Administrative Agent and certain banks and other financial institutions (the “Existing Lenders”) are parties to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of August 15, 2018 (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Loan Documents dated as of May 31, 2019, that certain Second Amendment to Loan Documents dated as of August 8, 2019, that certain Third Amendment to Loan Documents dated as of September 25, 2019, and as further amended, restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement” and the Credit Agreement prior to giving effect to this Amendment being referred to as the “Existing Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Existing Lenders have extended revolving credit facilities and term loan facilities to the Borrowers; and

WHEREAS, the Loan Parties have requested that the Existing Lenders and the other financial institutions providing any portion of the Revolver Increase (as defined below), if any (collectively, the Existing Lenders and such additional financial institutions, if any, the “Lenders”) agree to amend certain provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement, as more particularly set forth below, and the Lenders party to this Amendment (after giving effect to the Facility Adjustments (defined below)) are willing to effect such amendments, as provided in, and on the terms and conditions contained in, this Amendment;

WHEREAS, the Loan Parties have also requested that the Existing Credit Agreement be amended to provide for an increase of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments from $50,000,000 to $69,000,000 (the “Revolver Increase”), and the Lenders party hereto (including each Lender providing any portion of the Revolver Increase) are willing to amend the Credit Agreement to provide for the Revolver Increase as provided in, and on the terms and conditions contained in, this Amendment and in the Credit Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Lenders party hereto are willing to consent to the requested amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement, and the Revolver Increase and the related Facility Adjustments, all as provided in, and on the terms and conditions contained in, this Amendment.

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree, as applicable, as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings, if any, assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

2. Amendments to Existing Credit Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement:

(a) the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete the stricken text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: stricken text) and to add the double-underlined text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: double-underlined text) as set forth in the amended pages to the Existing Credit Agreement attached hereto as Annex I; and


(b) solely with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility (including the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Applicable Percentage with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility), the Schedule 2.01 to the Existing Credit Agreement is replaced with the revised Schedule 2.01 attached as Annex II to this Amendment (and after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement), any references in the Credit Agreement to Schedule 2.01 with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility as of any particular date shall be deemed to mean Schedule 2.01 as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date).

(c) A new Schedule 6.33 is added to the Credit Agreement and is attached as Annex III to this Amendment

3. Facility Adjustments.

(a) Upon the Fourth Amendment Effective Date (defined below), the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be increased by the Revolver Increase and such increased amount of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made available by the applicable Lenders so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of each applicable Lender shall be as set forth on Schedule 2.01 to the Credit Agreement included in Annex I hereto.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Existing Credit Agreement or the Credit Agreement, in connection with the increase of the Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder, each party hereto agrees (i) that the requisite assignments shall be deemed to be made in such amounts among the Lenders, and from each Lender to each other applicable Lender, with the same force and effect as if such assignments were evidenced by an Assignment and Assumption as required under the Existing Credit Agreement and (ii) to any adjustments to be made to the Register to effectuate such reallocations and assignments. In connection therewith, (x) any reallocation among the applicable Lenders resulting from the Facility Adjustments, (y) the repayment of any Revolving Credit Loans necessary in connection with the Facility Adjustments (if any), and (z) any reallocation among the applicable Lenders of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans resulting from the Facility Adjustments (if any), shall in each case all occur on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date in connection with the effectiveness of this Amendment, and the Administrative Agent may make such adjustments between and among the applicable Lenders (including adjustments to participations under the Credit Agreement in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans) as are reasonably necessary to effectuate the Facility Adjustments, so that the outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments are as set forth on the revised Schedule 2.01 to the Credit Agreement included in Annex I hereto as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date and the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date are held by the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Credit Facility (the Revolver Increase, and the assignments, adjustments and reallocations set forth in this sentence, collectively, the “Facility Adjustments”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.06 of the Existing Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement or this Amendment, no other documents or instruments, including any Assignment and Assumption, shall be executed in connection with these assignments (all of which requirements are hereby waived), and such assignments shall be deemed to be made with all applicable representations, warranties and covenants as if evidenced by an Assignment and Assumption.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Existing Credit Agreement or the Credit Agreement, each Lender agrees that (i) the Facility Adjustments provided by this Amendment shall each be effective upon the Fourth Amendment Effective Date immediately prior to the effectiveness of the amendments set forth in Section 2 above, (ii) the conditions to effectiveness of the Facility Adjustments and the amendments set forth in Section 2 above are limited to the conditions to the effectiveness of this Amendment on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date as set forth below and (iii) the Revolver Increase shall not constitute utilization of the $100,000,000 limit on increases to the facilities provided under Section 2.14 of the Existing Credit Agreement or of the Credit Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 9.04 of the Credit Agreement, for purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in this Section 6, each Lender that has signed this Amendment shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Fourth Amendment Effective Date specifying its objection thereto.

7. No Novation; Reaffirmation.

Each of the Loan Parties (a) acknowledges and consents to all of the terms and conditions of this Amendment, (b) affirms all of the obligations of such Loan Party under the Loan Documents as amended hereby, (c) agrees that this Amendment and all documents executed in connection herewith do not operate to reduce or discharge any Loan Party’s obligations under the Loan Documents, and (d) confirms that the Collateral Documents and the Liens granted thereunder remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the entry into this Amendment.

8. Miscellaneous.

(a) Except as herein expressly amended, all terms, covenants and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document are and shall remain in full force and effect. All references in any Loan Document to the “Credit Agreement” or “this Agreement” (or similar terms intended to reference the Credit Agreement) or any references to any “Loan Document” shall henceforth refer to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment or the Loan Documents as amended by this Amendment, as applicable. This Amendment shall be deemed incorporated into, and a part of, the Credit Agreement.

(b) This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, each other Lender and each other Loan Party, and their respective successors and assigns.

(c) THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND (WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING) SHALL OTHERWISE BE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 10.14 AND 10.15 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT RELATING TO GOVERNING LAW, VENUE AND WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY, THE PROVISIONS OF WHICH ARE BY THIS REFERENCE INCORPORATED HEREIN IN FULL.

 

5


(d) This Amendment 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. This Amendment and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Amendment shall become effective upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. This Amendment may not be amended except in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.

(e) If any provision of this Amendment or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (i) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Amendment and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) 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.

(f) The Borrower agrees to pay, in accordance with and subject to the limitations in Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration of this Amendment and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder.

(g) None of this Amendment, the Credit Agreement, nor any other Loan Document shall release, limit or impair in any way the priority of any security interests and liens held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against any assets of Holdings, the Borrower, any other Borrower, or any Guarantor arising under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents, as each may be amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time.

(h) Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document. Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances.

(i) This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” under and as defined in the Credit Agreement.
