b.The Loan Agreement shall be amended by deleting in their entirety Sections 2.2(b)(i) and (b)(ii) of the Loan Agreement and replacing them as follows:

“(i)With respect to each Term Loan, Borrower shall make quarterly payments of principal of such Term Loan commencing on the first Payment Date immediately following the Closing Date and continuing on each subsequent Payment Date through the Term Loan Maturity Date, in an amount equal to (A) $25,000,000.01 in each of the first four (4) quarters following the Closing Date and (B) $45,833,333.33 in each of the remaining twelve (12) quarters thereafter; provided, however, that if any such Payment Date is not a Business Day, the applicable principal shall be due and payable on the Business Day immediately preceding such date.

Without affecting any of any Lender’s rights or remedies hereunder or in respect hereof, if Borrower fails to pay the applicable Makewhole Amount or Prepayment Premium when due, then the amount thereof shall thereafter bear interest until paid in full at the Default Rate.”

(b)all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent and each Lender (and their respective successors and assigns) and their respective Related Parties (including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of any legal counsel therefor for the Collateral Agent, Lenders and such Related Parties taken as a whole and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional legal counsel for such affected Indemnified Person) in connection with (i) any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out,” (ii) the enforcement or protection or preservation of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, any Obligation, with respect to any of the Collateral or any other related right or remedy, or (iii) the commencement, defense, conduct of, intervention in, or the taking of any other action with respect to, any proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding) related to any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party in respect of any Loan Document or Obligation, or otherwise in connection with any Loan Document or Obligation (or the response to and preparation for any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto); provided, that, except with respect to an Insolvency Proceeding, to the extent such enforcement entails the Collateral Agent or any Lender commencing legal action of any sort against Borrower, any fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall only be payable by Borrower to the extent the Collateral Agent or any Lender is successful in such legal action.

​

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, none of the out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the Collateral Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective successors and assigns) or any of their respective Related Parties incurred solely in connection with the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its rights under Section 5.7(c)(ii)(z) shall constitute Lender Expenses.”

““SOFR” means a rate equal to the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the SOFR Administrator.”

““Term SOFR” means, for any day in any calendar month, the Term SOFR Reference Rate for a tenor of three (3) months on the day (such day, the “Periodic Term SOFR Determination Day”) that is two (2) U.S. Government Securities Business Days’ prior to the first day of such Interest Period, as such rate is published by the Term SOFR Administrator; provided, however, that if as of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Periodic Term SOFR Determination Day the Term SOFR Reference Rate for the applicable tenor has not been published by the Term SOFR Administrator and a Benchmark Replacement Date with respect to the Term SOFR Reference Rate has not occurred, then Term SOFR will be the Term SOFR Reference Rate for such tenor as published by the Term SOFR Administrator on the first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which such Term SOFR Reference Rate for such tenor was published by the Term SOFR Administrator so long as such first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day is not more than three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to such Periodic Term SOFR Determination Day.”

q.The Loan Agreement shall be amended by adding, in alphabetical order, each of the following definitions to Section 13.1 of the Loan Agreement:

For the avoidance of doubt, the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (a) or (b) above with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).”

““Benchmark Unavailability Period” means, the period (if any) (a) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.3(e) and (b) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.3(e).”
