(b) Clause (a) of the definition of “Applicable Margin” in Section 1.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(a) for each Type and Class of Loan with respect to the Revolving Facility and the Term A Facility, the applicable percentage per annum as set forth on Annex B-2 (or the applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement, Refinancing Amendment or Extension Amendment) for such Type and Class of Loan, set forth opposite the relevant Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio in Annex B-2 (or the applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement, Refinancing Amendment or Extension Amendment) determined as of the most recent Calculation Date; provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the applicable percentage per annum with respect to the Revolving Facility from and after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date will be set at Level III as set forth on Annex B-2 until delivery of the Section 9.04 Financials for the first full fiscal quarter ending after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date and (y) the applicable percentage per annum with respect to the Term A Facility from and after the 2023 Incremental Joinder Agreement Effective Date will be set at the higher of (i) Level II and (ii) Level I (solely to the extent such Level that would otherwise be applicable to the Term A Facility), in each case, as set forth on Annex B-2 until delivery of the Section 9.04 Financials for the first full fiscal quarter ending after the 2023 Incremental Joinder Agreement Effective Date. Any change in the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio shall be effective to adjust the Applicable Margin for the Revolving Loans and the Term A Facility Loans on and as of the date of receipt by Administrative Agent of the Section 9.04 Financials resulting in such change until the date immediately preceding the next date of delivery of Section 9.04 Financials resulting in another such change. If (i) Borrower fails to deliver the Section 9.04 Financials within the times specified in Section 9.04(a) or 9.04(b), as applicable, or (ii) an Event of Default is continuing and the Required Revolving Lenders and Required Tranche Lenders for the Term A Facility have directed the application of Level I for the Revolving Facility and the Term A Facility, such ratio shall be deemed to be at Level I as set forth in Annex B-2 (or the applicable Incremental Joinder Agreement, Refinancing Amendment or Extension Amendment) from the date of any such failure to deliver until Borrower delivers such Section 9.04 Financials in the case of clause (i) or the date of delivery of such direction in the case of clause (ii) until such Event of Default is no longer continuing or the Required Revolving Lenders and Required Tranche Lenders for the Term A Facility have otherwise agreed that such Level I is no longer applicable, as applicable. In the event of an Inaccuracy Determination, and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “Inaccurate Applicable Margin Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Inaccurate Applicable Margin Period, then Borrower shall promptly (i) deliver to Administrative Agent corrected Section 9.04 Financials for such Inaccurate Applicable Margin Period, (ii) determine the Applicable Margin for such Inaccurate Applicable Margin Period based upon the corrected Section 9.04 Financials and (iii) pay to Administrative Agent the accrued additional interest owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Inaccurate Applicable Margin Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 4.01 (provided that no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred as a result of such nonpayment (and no such shortfall amount shall be deemed overdue or accrue interest at the Default Rate) unless such shortfall amount is not paid on or prior to the tenth Business Day following demand for such payment by Administrative Agent to Borrower). It is acknowledged and agreed that, except as provided in the parenthetical to the immediately preceding sentence, nothing contained herein shall limit the rights of Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Documents, including their rights under Section 3.02 and Article XI and their other respective rights under this Agreement;”
