b) as of the date hereof and immediately after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

Each of the First Amendment Projections and the 2016 Fiscal Year guidance included in the Borrowers’ press release dated August 2, 2016 (the “First Amendment Earnings Guidance”) were prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time delivered and as of the First Amendment Date, and Holdings is not aware of any facts or information that would lead it to believe that the First Amendment Projections or the First Amendment Earnings Guidance are incorrect or misleading in any material respect; and
3
d) the prepayment of Term Loans and application of proceeds thereof, in each case contemplated by Section 4(b), is effected in accordance with the terms of, and is permitted under, the Credit Agreement, the ABL Loan Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.
4. Conditions to Effectiveness. The effectiveness of this Amendment is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions (the date on which all such conditions are so satisfied is referred to herein as the “First Amendment Date”):
a) the Agent shall have received a certificate, dated the First Amendment Date, executed by the President, a Vice President or a Financial Officer of the Borrower Representative, certifying that, as of the First Amendment Date, (i) that the representations and warranties contained in this Amendment and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (provided that any representation or warranty that is qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) on and as of such earlier date; (ii) that as of the First Amendment Date and immediately after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (iii) this Amendment is effected in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, the ABL Loan Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement;
b) the Borrowers shall have prepaid the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(a) of the Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount no less than $25,000,000, and such prepayment amount shall have been applied, pro rata (according to the principal amount of each First Amendment Consenting Lender’s Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such prepayment), to prepay the Term Loans held by the First Amendment Consenting Lenders (other than Declining Lenders (as defined below)) (to be applied to installments of such Term Loans in inverse order of maturity), it being understood that (i) such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13 of the Credit Agreement and amounts due under Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement, (ii) the First Amendment Consenting Lenders hereby waive the requirement that the Borrower Representative provide prior notice of such prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(f) of the Credit Agreement and (iii) any First Amendment Consenting Lender may elect to decline its pro rata share of the prepayment contemplated above by providing notice of such election to the Agent on or prior to the First Amendment Date (any such declining First Amendment Consenting Lender, a “Declining Lender”) (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such pro rata share shall be distributed pro rata to the First Amendment Consenting Lenders that are not Declining Lenders and each Declining Lender irrevocably waives its right to receive such prepayment);
c) Holdings and the Borrowers shall have paid to the Agent (i) all applicable fees and other amounts due and payable to the Agent on or prior to the First Amendment Date, as separately agreed to by the Borrowers and the Agent, (ii) all costs and expenses due and payable under this Amendment, and (iii) for the account of the DDTL Lenders, all accrued but unpaid commitment fees payable in accordance with Section 2.12(a) of the Credit Agreement; and
4
d) the Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment duly executed by Holdings, the Borrowers, each other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and Lenders constituting the Required Lenders.
5. GOVERNING LAW AND WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
(a) This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles (other than sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law).
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court sitting in the County of New York and the Borough of Manhattan in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the provisions of this Amendment and irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court and that service of process therein may be made by certified mail, postage prepaid, to your address set forth above. Each Loan Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court, and any claim that any such claim, suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Amendment shall affect any right that the Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Amendment against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Amendment in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section.

(d) Each party to this Amendment irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. Nothing in this Amendment will affect the right of any party to this Amendment to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
(e) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).
5
EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AMENDMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
6. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Amendment constitutes the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Amendment shall become effective on the First Amendment Date. Except as provided in Section 4, this Amendment shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by telecopy, e-mailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent.
7. Waiver and Releases. In consideration of, among other things, the Loan Parties’ execution and delivery of this Amendment and in reliance upon the representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties herein:
a) Each First Amendment Consenting Lender (collectively constituting the Required Lenders) hereby acknowledges and agrees that (1) the Loan Parties’ failure to meet the Closing Date Projections (as defined below) for the fiscal period from March 26, 2016 through and including June 24, 2016 and (2) the Loan Parties’ expected failure to meet the Closing Date Projections for any fiscal period from June 25, 2016 through and including the end of the 2020 Fiscal Year, shall not constitute a breach of the Credit Agreement in any respect, including, without limitation, the failure of any representation and warranty or of any condition precedent to any Borrowing contained therein to have been correct or satisfied, respectively, and hereby waives any purported breach of the Credit Agreement arising out of the Loan Parties’ actual or expected failure to meet the Closing Date Projections discussed in (1) and (2) above; and
6
b) each First Amendment Consenting Lender and its successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasors”) hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and without reservation of any kind, waive, generally release and forever discharge each of the Loan Parties, the Agents and the Arrangers, their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, and the successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Releasees”), from and against any and all rights and claims that such Releasor now has or hereafter may have, of whatsoever nature and kind, whether known or unknown, whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether arising at law or in equity (collectively, the “Claims”), against any or all of the Releasees, based in whole or in part on facts existing on or before the First Amendment Date, that arise out of (1) the Loan Parties’ failure to meet the Closing Date Projections for the fiscal period from March 26, 2016 through and including June 24, 2016 or (2) the Loan Parties’ expected failure to meet the Closing Date Projections for any fiscal period from June 25, 2016 through and including the end of the 2020 Fiscal Year. For purposes hereof, “Closing Date Projections” (i) shall mean the projected balance sheets, income statements and statements of cash flows of Holdings and its Subsidiaries for Fiscal Years 2016 through 2020, in each case presented to the Lenders that are not Public Lenders prior to the Effective Date as part of the syndication of the Term Loans and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include the First Amendment Projections.
The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Amendment, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and payment in full of the Obligations.
8. Reference to and Limited Effect on the Credit Agreement and the Other Loan Documents.
a) On and after the First Amendment Date, (x) each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and (B) each reference in the other Loan Documents to the “Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof”, “therein” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement after giving effect to this Amendment.
b) Except as specifically amended by this Amendment, the Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.
c) Except as provided in Section 7a) hereof, the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment shall not constitute a waiver of any provision of, or operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Agent or Lender under, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
7
d) Each Loan Party hereby (i) ratifies, confirms and reaffirms its liabilities, its payment and performance obligations (contingent or otherwise) and its agreements under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) acknowledges, ratifies and confirms that such liabilities, obligations and agreements constitute valid and existing Obligations under the Credit Agreement, in each case, to the extent such Loan Party is a party thereto. In addition, each Loan Party hereby ratifies, confirms and reaffirms (i) the liens and security interests granted, created and perfected under the Collateral Documents and any other Loan Documents and (ii) that each of the Collateral Documents to which it is a party remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Amendment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party further agrees (A) that any reference to “Obligations” contained in any Collateral Documents shall include, without limitation, the “Obligations” as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement (as amended by this Amendment) and (B) that the related guarantees and grants of security contained in such Collateral Documents shall include and extend to such Obligations. This Amendment shall not constitute a modification of the Credit Agreement, except as specified under Section 2 hereto, or a course of dealing with the Agent or any Lender at variance with the Credit Agreement such as to require further notice by the Agent or any Lender to require strict compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents in the future, except as expressly set forth herein. This Amendment contains the entire agreement among the Loan Parties and the First Amendment Consenting Lenders contemplated by this Amendment. No Loan Party has any knowledge of any challenge to the Agent’s or any Lender’s claims arising under the Loan Documents or the effectiveness of the Loan Documents. The Agent and Lenders reserve all rights, privileges and remedies under the Loan Documents. Nothing in this Amendment is intended, or shall be construed, to constitute a novation or an accord and satisfaction of any of the Obligations or to modify, affect or impair the perfection, priority or continuation of the security interests in, security titles to or other Liens on any Collateral for the Obligations.
e) Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that it has reviewed the terms and provisions of this Amendment and consents to the amendment of the Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this Amendment.
f) Each Loan Party that is not a Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) notwithstanding the conditions to effectiveness set forth in this Amendment, such Loan Party is not required by the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to consent to the amendments to the Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this Amendment and (ii) nothing in the Credit Agreement, this Amendment or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to require the consent of such Loan Party to any future amendments to the Credit Agreement.
g) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, for all purposes under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, this Amendment constitutes a “Loan Document” under and as defined in the Credit Agreement.
9. Expenses. The Borrowers and Holdings agree, jointly and severally, to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Amendment, including, without limitation, all attorney costs.
8
10. Severability. Any provision of any this Amendment held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
11. Headings. Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Amendment and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Amendment.
12. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Amendment and the terms of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the terms of this Amendment shall govern.
