2.
Amendments. Effective as of the First Amendment Effective Date and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set
forth in Section 3 of this First Amendment, the Loan Agreement shall be hereby amended as follows:
a.
Procedure for Borrowing; Notices of Borrowing. Subsection 2.3(g) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated
in its entirety as follows:
“If
(a) the Administrative Agent determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted
that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by
reference to SOFR or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions
on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing or (b) Administrative Agent shall have determined that reasonable means do
not exist for ascertaining SOFR; then, in such event, Administrative Agent shall determine the Replacement Index as provided for in Section
4.3.”
b.
Trigger Events for Index Replacement Rights. Section 4.3 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety
as follows:
“A determination by Administrative
Agent (in its sole discretion) that any of the following events (each a “Trigger”) have occurred will commence the
Administrative Agent’s right, in its sole discretion, to replace the SOFR Index at any time after such occurrence date and prior
to the Maturity Date if: (i) the SOFR Index is no longer available or cannot be determined; (ii) a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction
over the Administrative Agent and Lenders has indicated that the SOFR Index will no longer be available as of a certain date or is, or
will be, no longer representative as of a certain date; or (iii) a rate or rates other than the SOFR Index has become a widely recognized
benchmark interest rate within the United States loan market, (in the case of either (i) or (ii) or (iii), a “Market Disruption
Event”); After a Trigger has occurred the Administrative Agent may, without consent or signature of the Borrower, amend this
Agreement via a written notice sent to Borrower (the “Notice”), to replace the then current index rate of interest
(the “Index” and initially the SOFR Index) with a replacement Index (the “Replacement Index”) which
shall, unless the Administrative Agent and Borrower mutually agree to be an alternative rate, be the Base Rate (the “Adjusted
Index” and the process being the “Replacement”) on the dates and terms set forth in the Notice. The Notice
shall be made to the Borrower in such form and manner of delivery as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its commercially reasonable
discretion as soon as reasonably practicable, but no more than thirty (30) calendar days after the Replacement occurs. If the Adjusted
Index would be less than one percent (1%), then the Adjusted Index will be deemed to be one percent (1%) for the purposes of this Agreement.
As it may become necessary to replace the Index more than once during the term of this Agreement, for the avoidance of doubt, after the
SOFR Index is no longer the Index for this Agreement, the Triggers identified above shall be deemed modified to apply to the then current
Index, and all references to the SOFR Index shall be deemed to be references to the then current Index. Administrative Agent does not
warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to the (1) SOFR Index determination, (2) the
occurrence of a Trigger to cause transition away from the SOFR Index, (3) the administration, maintenance, adequacy or any other matter
with respect to the Adjusted Index or any replacement of the SOFR Index with the Adjusted Index in accordance with the terms hereof or
(4) whether any such Adjusted Index will have the same value as, be economically equivalent to, or behave like the SOFR Index or any
then-current Index which replaces it in accordance with the terms hereof.”
c.
Books and Records; Inspections. Subsection 7.1(g) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety
as follows:
“(I) Each Loan Party shall, and
shall cause each of its Subsidiaries at the Borrower’s expense to:
| (i) | maintain books and records (including
computer records and programs) of account pertaining to the assets, liabilities and financial
transactions of such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries in such detail, form and scope as is
consistent with good business practice, which shall exclude the assets, liabilities and financial
transactions of all direct and indirect holders of Equity Interests, Subsidiaries and other
Affiliates of such Loan Party; |
| (ii) | at any time after the occurrence and
during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, provide the Lender Parties and its
agents access, at any time and from time to time, to (a) the premises of such Loan Party
and its Subsidiaries or (b) to any and all records pertaining to the Collateral through a
verified peer-to-peer file sharing platform (P2P), such as Google Drive, Dropbox and Microsoft
OneDrive, without notice, for the purposes of (A) inspecting and verifying the Collateral,
(B) inspecting and copying any and all records pertaining thereto, and (C) discussing the
affairs, finances and business of such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries with any officer,
employee or director thereof or with the Auditors, all of whom are hereby authorized to disclose
to the Lender Parties all financial statements, work papers, and other information relating
to such affairs, finances or business; and |
| (iii) | permit the Lender Parties from time
to time to perform upon reasonable notice not to be less than two (2) Business Days and during
normal business hours an examination of books and records (including computer records and
programs) of account pertaining to the assets, liabilities and financial transactions of
such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries (“Field Exam”); provided in the absence
of a Default or an Event of Default the Lender Parties shall perform no more than three (3)
Field Exams per calendar year at Borrower’s expense. |
(II) The Borrower shall reimburse the
Lender Parties for the reasonable travel and related expenses of the Lender Parties’ employees or, at the Lender Parties’
option, of such outside accountants or examiners as may be retained by the Administrative Agent to conduct Field Exams on a regular basis
(subject to Section 7.1(g)(I)(iii) above) or for a special inspection if the Lender Parties deem the same appropriate. If the Lender
Parties’ own employees are used, the Borrower shall also pay such reasonable per diem allowance as the Lender Parties may from
time to time establish, or, if outside examiners or accountants are used, the Borrower shall also pay the Lender Parties such sum as
the Lender Parties may be obligated to pay as fees therefor. Administrative Agent may engage an appraiser to provide Lender Parties with
appraisals or updates thereof with respect to the Collateral, prepared on a basis satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (“Appraisals”).
The Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for the reasonable expenses of such appraisals or updates. All such Obligations
may be charged to the Loan Account or any other account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent. The Borrower hereby authorizes
the Lender Parties to communicate directly with the Auditors to disclose to the Lender Parties any and all financial information regarding
any of the Loan Parties including, without limitation, matters relating to any audit and copies of any letters, memoranda or other correspondence
related to the business, financial condition or other affairs of any of the Loan Parties; provided
that absent the existence of an Event of Default the Lender Parties shall (a) provide the Administrative Borrower three (3) Business
Days advance written notice of a communication and (b) copy the Administrative Borrower on any such communication. Nothing contained
herein pertaining to “other affairs of any of the Loan Parties” shall be deemed a waiver of Borrower’s assertion that
such information is subject to a legally recognized privilege.
