W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, the 2021 Term B Lenders (the “Existing Term B Lenders”) have made 2021 Term B Loans (such loans outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment, collectively, the “Existing Term B Loans”) to the Borrower;

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Existing Credit Agreement be amended as set forth herein to provide, among other things, the establishment of a new term “B” loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $583,500,000 on the date hereof, to replace the Existing Term B Loans;

WHEREAS, the proceeds of the 2024 Term B Loans, together with cash on hand of the Borrower, will be used to prepay in full the Existing Term B Loans (including accrued and unpaid interest on the Existing Term B Loans) and all related fees and expenses;

SECTION 1. Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation set forth in Section 1.02 of the Existing Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis.

SECTION 2. Refinancing Amendment.

(a) This Section 2 hereto constitutes a “Refinancing Amendment” pursuant to which each 2024 Term B Lender commits to make, severally but not jointly, to the Borrower Other Term Loans (the “2024 Term B Loans”) on the Effective Date in a principal amount equal to the amount set forth opposite such 2024 Term B Lender’s name under the heading “2024 Term B Loans” on Schedule 1 hereto (the “2024 Term B Commitment”). The aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Term B Commitment of the 2024 Term B Lenders as of the date of this Amendment is $583,500,000. Unless previously terminated, the 2024 Term B Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of initial funding of the 2024 Term B Loans.

(b) 2024 Term B Loans borrowed under this Section 2 and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. 2024 Term B Loans may be ABR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans, as further provided in the Amended Credit Agreement.

(c) The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the 2024 Term B Loans to prepay, on the Effective Date, $583,500,000 of the outstanding principal amount of the Existing Term B Loans.

(d) Each Existing Term B Lender holding Existing Term B Loans may elect for a “cashless conversion” of 100% (or such lesser amount as may be notified to such Existing Term Lender by the Administrative Agent prior to the Effective Date) of its Existing Term B Loans into 2024 Term B Loans in the same principal amount by indicating such election for a cashless settlement option on its signature page hereto (such electing Existing Term B Lenders, the “Converting Term Loan Lenders”). It is understood and agreed that (i) simultaneously with the deemed making of 2024 Term B Loans by each Converting Term Loan Lender and the payment to such Converting Term Loan Lender by the Borrower of all accrued and unpaid fees and other amounts in respect of the Existing Term B Loans in respect of such Converted Term Loan Amount (as defined below), such elected amount (or such lesser amount as may be notified to such Converting Term Loan Lender by the Administrative Agent prior to the Effective Date) of the Existing Term B Loans held by such Converting Term Loan Lender (the “Converted Term Loan Amount”) shall be deemed to be extinguished, repaid and no longer outstanding and such Converting Term Loan Lender shall thereafter hold 2024 Term B Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Converting Term Loan Lender’s Converted Term Loan Amount, (ii) no Converting Term Loan Lender shall receive any repayment being made to other Existing Term B Lenders holding Existing Term B Loans from the proceeds of the 2024 Term B Loans to the extent of such Converting Term Loan Lender’s Converted Term Loan Amount and (iii) any 2024 Term B Loan held by a Converting Term Loan Lender that is not so allocated to such Converting Term Loan Lender as a Converted Term Loan Amount shall be repaid in full on the Effective Date together with all accrued and unpaid amounts owing to such Converting Term Loan Lender (in its capacity as an Existing Term Lender) in respect of such amount.

(e) Each Existing Term B Lender that either (i) becomes a party to the Amended Credit Agreement by purchasing 2024 Term B Loans from a 2024 Term B Lender (other than a Converting Term Loan Lender) on or after the Effective Date or (ii) is a Converting Term Loan Lender shall be deemed to waive any payment of any amounts due to such Existing Term B Lender pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Existing Credit Agreement in respect of the transactions set forth in this Section 2.

The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence at the time of designation of any Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time.
