WHEREAS, the Borrower, Parent, the Lenders listed on the signature pages thereto (the “Existing Lenders”) and the Administrative Agent are parties to a certain Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 28, 2021 (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement), pursuant to which the Existing Lenders have made certain financial accommodations available to the Borrower;

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that (a) the Committing Lenders (as defined below) increase the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments by $101,250,000 for total Aggregate Revolving Commitments in an amount equal to $350,000,000 (such increase, the “Revolving Commitment Increase”) on the date hereof and (b) the Existing Lenders and the Administrative Agent amend certain provisions of the Credit Agreement;

WHEREAS, the parties hereto have agreed to add City National Bank (the “New Lender”) as a new Lender under the Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders have agreed to the requested amendments, and the Existing Lenders as indicated on the signature pages hereof have agreed to provide the Revolving Commitment Increase (such Lenders, together with the New Lender, collectively, the “Committing Lenders”), in each case on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Amendments to Credit Agreement.

(b) Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the definition of “Leverage Ratio” in its entirety with the following:

“Leverage Ratio” shall mean, as of any date, the ratio of (a) Consolidated Net Senior Debt as of such date to (b) Consolidated EBITDA of the Consolidated Group for the most recent four consecutive Fiscal Quarters ending on or prior to such date.

(c) Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following definitions in proper alphabetical order:

“Consolidated Net Senior Debt” shall mean, as of any date, the sum of (a) Consolidated Senior Debt minus (b) Unrestricted Cash in an aggregate amount not exceeding $20,000,000.

“First Amendment Closing Date” shall mean December 7, 2021.

“Unrestricted Cash” shall mean cash and cash equivalents of the Loan Parties in a Controlled Account as shown on the consolidated balance sheet of Parent and its Subsidiaries and as reflected on the most recent Compliance Certificate delivered to Administrative Agent; provided, however, that amounts calculated under this definition shall exclude any amounts held by any Loan Party in escrow, trust or other fiduciary capacity for or on behalf of a holder of an Outside Interest, client, customer or similar Person of any Loan Party.

(f) The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing Schedule I in its entirety with Schedule A attached to this Amendment.

2. Joinder of New Lender. Each party hereto (other than the New Lender) hereby consents to the joinder of the New Lender as a Lender under the Credit Agreement. The New Lender hereby agrees to be bound by the terms of the Credit Agreement as a Lender thereunder.
