Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender identified on the signature pages hereto as a Term Loan A-2 Lender (each a “Term Loan A-2 Lender”) severally agrees to make an Incremental Term Loan to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement on the Term Loan A-2 Effective Date (individually or collectively, “Term Loan A-2”) in Dollars in such principal amount of such Term Loan A-2 Lender’s commitment set forth on Schedule 1(a) attached hereto (each a “Term Loan A-2 Commitment” and collectively the “Term Loan A-2 Commitments”). The failure of any Term Loan A-2 Lender to make a Term Loan A-2 shall not relieve any other Term Loan A-2 Lender of its obligations to make a Term Loan A-2 nor shall it impose any additional liability on any other Term Loan A-2 Lender hereunder. The Term Loan A-2 Lenders shall have no obligation to make the Term Loan A-2 hereunder after the Term Loan A-2 Effective Date, and any portion of the Term Loan A-2 Commitment not drawn on the Term Loan A-2 Effective Date shall automatically expire.

(b)

Unless accelerated pursuant to Section 9 of the Credit Agreement, all principal and interest not sooner paid on the Term Loan A-2 shall be due and payable on October 28, 2025 (the “Term Loan A-2 Maturity Date”), the final maturity thereof. The Term Loan A-2 will not be subject to amortization prior to the Term Loan A-2 Maturity Date.

(d)
