1. Existence, Qualification and Power; Compliance with Laws.

Each Loan Party (a) is duly organized (or where applicable in the relevant jurisdiction, registered or incorporated), validly existing and (where applicable in the relevant jurisdiction) in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, registration or incorporation, as the case may be, (b) has the power and authority to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged and (c) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except in the case of clauses (a) (except as it relates to the due organization and valid existence of the Borrower), (b) and (c) above, to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

ii.

Each Loan Party (a) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to enter into, make, deliver and perform this Amendment and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder and (b) has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Amendment.

iii.

No Governmental Approval or consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any other Person is required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Amendment, except (a) Governmental Approvals, consents, authorizations, filings and notices that have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (b) the filings referred to in Section 4.16 of the Amended Credit Agreement. No Governmental Approval or consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any other Person is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Amendment, except (x) Governmental Approvals, consents,

authorizations, filings and notices that have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (y) consents and approvals from Governmental Authorities required to be obtained in the ordinary course of business, and (z) consents, authorizations, filings and notices the failure to obtain or perform would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

2. Authorization; No Contravention.

Each Loan Party has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Amendment.

ii.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings and guarantees hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof (a) will not violate any Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any Group Member (except, individually or in the aggregate, as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect), or violate any material Requirement of Law or the Organizational Documents of any Loan Party and (b) will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law, any such Organizational Documents or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents and other than any other Permitted Liens) except, individually or in the aggregate, as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

3. Binding Effect. This Amendment and each other Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each applicable Loan Party. This Amendment constitutes, and each other Loan Document executed in connection herewith upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each applicable Loan Party, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by any Legal Reservations.

4. Loan Document Representations. By its execution of this Amendment, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants that each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except where such representations and warranties are already qualified by materiality, in which case such representation and warranty shall be accurate in all respects) on and as of such date as if made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except where such representations and warranties are already qualified by materiality, in which case such representation and warranty shall be accurate in all respects) as of such earlier date.

Section V. Confirmation of Guaranties and Security Interests.

To induce the 2024 Term Loan Lenders and the Administrative Agent to enter into this Amendment, each of the Loan Parties hereby acknowledges and reaffirms its obligations under each Loan Document to which it is a party, including, without limitation, any grant, pledge or collateral assignment of a lien or security interest, as applicable, contained therein, in each case as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to or as of the date hereof (including as amended pursuant to this Amendment). The Borrower acknowledges and

agrees that each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party or otherwise bound shall continue in full force and effect and that all of its obligations thereunder shall not be impaired or limited by the execution or effectiveness of this Amendment.

In furtherance of the foregoing Section IV(1), each Loan Party, in its capacity as a Guarantor under any Loan Document constituting a guarantee to which it is a party (in such capacity, each a “Reaffirming Loan Guarantor”), reaffirms its guarantee of the Obligations under the terms and conditions of such guarantee and agrees that such guarantee remains in full force and effect to the extent set forth in such guarantee and after giving effect to this Amendment, and is hereby ratified, reaffirmed and confirmed. Each Reaffirming Loan Guarantor hereby confirms that it consents to the terms of this Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement and that the principal of, the interest and premium (if any) on, and fees related to, the 2024 Refinancing Term Loans (as amended by this Amendment) constitute “Obligations” under the Loan Documents. The Reaffirming Loan Guarantor hereby (a) acknowledges and agrees that its guarantee and each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party or otherwise bound shall continue in full force and effect and that all of its obligations thereunder shall not be impaired or limited by the execution or effectiveness of this Amendment, (b) acknowledges and agrees that it will continue to guarantee to the fullest extent possible in accordance with the Loan Documents the payment and performance of all Obligations under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party (including all such Obligations as amended, reaffirmed and/or increased pursuant to this Amendment) and (c) acknowledges, agrees and warrants for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party that there are no rights of set-off or counterclaim, nor any defenses of any kind, whether legal, equitable or otherwise, that would enable such Reaffirming Loan Guarantor to avoid or delay timely performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents.

In furtherance of the foregoing Section IV(1), each of the Loan Parties that is party to any Collateral Document, in its capacity as a grantor under any Collateral Document (in such capacity, each a “Reaffirming Grantor”), hereby acknowledges that it has reviewed and consents to the terms and conditions of this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, each Reaffirming Grantor reaffirms the security interests granted by such Reaffirming Grantor under the terms and conditions of the Collateral Document and each other Loan Document (in each case, to the extent a party thereto) to secure the Obligations (including all such Obligations as amended, reaffirmed and/or increased pursuant to this Amendment) and agrees that such security interests remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified, reaffirmed and confirmed. Each Loan Party hereby confirms that the security interests granted by such Reaffirming Grantor under the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents secure the 2024 Term Loans as part of the Obligations. Each Reaffirming Grantor hereby (a) confirms that each Collateral Document to which it is a party or is otherwise bound and all Collateral encumbered thereby will continue to secure, to the fullest extent possible in accordance with such Collateral Document, the payment and performance of the Obligations (including all such Obligations as amended, reaffirmed and/or increased pursuant to this Amendment), as the case may be, including without limitation the payment and performance of all such applicable Obligations that are joint and several obligations of each Reaffirming Grantor and each grantor now or hereafter existing, (b) confirms its respective grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties of the security interest in and continuing lien on all of such grantor’s right, title and interest in all Collateral, in each case, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising and wherever located, as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance in full when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all applicable Obligations (including all such Obligations as amended, reaffirmed and/or increased pursuant to this Amendment), subject to the terms contained in the applicable Loan Documents and (c) confirms its respective pledges, grants

of security interests and other obligations, as applicable, under and subject to the terms of each of the Collateral Documents to which it is a party.

By its execution of this Amendment, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Amendment do not constitute a novation but, rather, an amendment of the terms of a pre-existing Indebtedness and related agreement, as evidenced by the Amended Credit Agreement.

Section VI. Miscellaneous.

Amendment, Modification and Waiver. This Amendment may not be amended, modified or waived except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed and delivered on behalf of the necessary parties under Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement.

Entire Agreement. This Amendment, the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and verbal, among the parties or any of them with respect to the subject matter hereof.

GOVERNING LAW. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Severability. If any provision of this Amendment is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable (a) 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 (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.

Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

Incorporation by Reference. The terms and provisions of Sections 11.2 (“Notices”), 11.5 (“Payment of Expenses; Indemnity; Limitation of Liability”), 11.10 (“Counterparts; Electronic Execution”), 11.13 (“Governing Law”), 11.14 (“Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers”), 11.18 (“Waivers Of Jury Trial”), 11.19 (“USA Patriot Act Notification; Beneficial Ownership”) and 11.22 (“No Fiduciary Duty”) of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, with the same force and effect as if fully set forth herein, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.

(e)

(d) any Incremental Term Loan, the Applicable Margin shall be as set forth in the Incremental Amendment relating to the Incremental Term Commitment in respect of such Incremental Term Loan;

(f)

(e) any Other Term Loan or any Other Revolving Loan, the Applicable Margin shall be as set forth in the Refinancing Amendment relating to such Loan; and

(g)

(f) any Extended Term Loan or any Extended Revolving Loan, the Applicable Margin shall be as set forth in the Loan Modification Agreement relating to such Loan.

Any increase or decrease in the Applicable Margin resulting from a change in the Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio shall become effective as of the first Business Day immediately following the date a Compliance Certificate is delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(c); provided that the pricing level as set forth above in clause (a)(ii)(A) shall apply as of the first Business Day after the date on which a Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered but was not delivered, and shall continue to so apply to and including the date on which such Compliance Certificate is so delivered (and thereafter the pricing level otherwise determined in accordance with this definition shall apply).

In the event that any financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 or a Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(c) are shown to be inaccurate at any time that this Agreement is in effect and any Loans or Commitments are outstanding hereunder when such inaccuracy is discovered and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) the Borrower shall promptly (and in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter) deliver to the Administrative Agent a correct Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period, (ii) from and after the date such corrected Compliance Certificate is delivered, the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to the corrected Compliance Certificate (but in no event shall the Lenders owe any amounts to the Borrower or the UK Borrower, as applicable) and (iii) the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent promptly (and in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after knowledge by the chief financial officer or treasurer of the Borrower that such payment is due) any additional interest owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof. This paragraph will not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any additional interest hereunder shall not be due and payable until such payment is due pursuant to clause (iii) above and accordingly, any nonpayment of such interest as a result of any such inaccuracy shall not constitute a Default (whether retroactively or otherwise), and no such amounts shall be deemed overdue (and no amounts shall accrue interest at the default rate set forth in Section 2.14(c)), at any time prior to the date that is ten (10) Business Days following such knowledge by the chief financial officer or treasurer of the Borrower.

“Applicable Period” as defined in the definition of “Applicable Margin.”

such Indebtedness (x) does not mature prior to the then Latest Maturity Date applicable to outstanding Term Loans, does not have any greater scheduled amortization than that which is applicable to the Term Loans and is not subject to mandatory redemption or prepayment (except, in each case, (i) customary asset sale or change of control provisions or (ii) other mandatory redemptions that are also made or offered, on a pro rata basis, to holders of outstanding Term Loans that are First Lien Obligations) and (y) does not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity shorter than the Weighted Average

Life to Maturity of any then outstanding Term Loans (without giving effect to any prepayments that would otherwise modify the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans);

(b)

if such Indebtedness is secured by the Collateral, a Senior Representative acting on behalf of the holders of such Indebtedness has become, or is, party to an Intercreditor Agreement, which results in such Senior Representative having rights to share in the Collateral on a pari passu or junior basis, as applicable;

(c)

to the extent such Indebtedness is secured, it is not secured by any property or assets of any Loan Party or any other Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Collateral except for exclusions with respect to cash collateral customary for pre-funded (and similar) letter of credit facilities, as applicable) (it being agreed that such Indebtedness shall not be required to be secured by all of the Collateral); provided that Indebtedness that may be Incurred by Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 7.2 may be secured by assets of Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries;

(d)

if such Indebtedness is Incurred by (i) any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, such Indebtedness shall not be guaranteed by any Loan Party and (ii) the Borrower or any Guarantor, such Indebtedness shall not be guaranteed by any Person other than the Borrower or Guarantor; and

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any pro forma event, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to the extent identifiable and supportable. Any such pro forma calculation may include, without duplication, adjustments appropriate to reflect cost savings, operating expense reductions, restructuring charges and expenses and synergies reasonably expected to result from the applicable event to the extent set forth in the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA”.

If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower may designate. In connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, the Borrower may determine baskets and ratios in accordance with Section 1.4.
