WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Parent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are parties to that certain Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement dated as of September 15, 2025 (the “Existing Loan Agreement”; and the Existing Loan Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, the “Loan Agreement”);
WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders amend certain terms and conditions of the Existing Loan Agreement as described herein; and
WHEREAS, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party to this Amendment have agreed to so amend certain terms and conditions of the Existing Loan Agreement, all on the terms and conditions set forth below in this Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
| 1. | Definitions. All capitalized and undefined terms used in this Amendment shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Loan Agreement. |
| 2. | Amendments to Existing Loan Agreement. |
| a. | Effective as of the Amendment Effective Date, the definition of “Applicable Rate” as set forth in Section 1.01 of the Existing Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: |
““Applicable Rate” means, with respect to any Loan, the following percentages per annum, subject to the last two paragraphs of this definition, based upon the Debt Rating as set forth below:
| Debt Rating | Pricing Level | Base Rate Applicable Rate | Term SOFR and Daily Simple SOFR Applicable Rate | ||||||||
| ≥A/A2 | 1 | 0.00 | % | 0.70 | % | ||||||
| A-/A3 | 2 | 0.00 | % | 0.75 | % | ||||||
| BBB+/Baa1 | 3 | 0.00 | % | 0.80 | % | ||||||
| BBB/Baa2 | 4 | 0.00 | % | 0.90 | % | ||||||
| BBB-/Baa3 | 5 | 0.15 | % | 1.15 | % | ||||||
| <BBB-/Baa3 | 6 | 0.55 | % | 1.55 | % | ||||||
Each change in the Applicable Rate resulting from a publicly announced change in the Debt Rating shall be effective, in the case of an upgrade, during the period commencing on the date of delivery by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of notice thereof pursuant to Section 7.03(e) and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change and, in the case of a downgrade, during the period commencing on the date of the public announcement thereof and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change.
Notwithstanding the Debt Ratings set forth in foregoing table, if: (i)(x) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recently ending fiscal quarter of the Borrower as set forth in the corresponding Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.02(a) is less than 32.5% and (y) the Fixed Charge Ratio as of the last day of the most recently ending fiscal quarter of the Borrower as set forth in the corresponding Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.02(a) is greater than 4.00 to 1.00, and (ii) (a) the Borrower shall have a Debt Rating from at least two of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch, (b) one or more of such Debt Ratings shall be at Level 4 (e.g., BBB or Baa2) and (c) none of such Debt Ratings shall be below Level 5, the Applicable Rate shall be determined in accordance with Level 3. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower may qualify for pricing at Level 1, 2 or 3 based solely upon its Debt Rating even if it does not meet the conditions described in clause (i) of the first sentence of this paragraph. Any increase or decrease in the Applicable Rate set forth in the foregoing table, resulting from a satisfaction of the condition set forth in clause (i) of the first sentence of this paragraph shall become effective as of the first Business Day immediately following the date a compliance certificate is delivered pursuant to Section 7.02(a); provided, that if a Compliance Certificate is not delivered when due in accordance with Section 7.02(a), then the Level corresponding to the Debt Rating then in effect shall apply as of the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date on which such Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered and shall remain in effect until the date on which such Compliance Certificate is delivered.”
| b. | Effective as of the Amendment Effective Date, the definition of “Subsidiary Guarantor” as set forth in Section 1.01 of the Existing Loan Agreement is hereby amended to insert the following at the end thereof: |
“; provided, further that, for the avoidance of doubt, any Subsidiary that is not required to execute a joinder to the Subsidiary Guaranty pursuant to Section 2.17(a)(z) shall not be a Subsidiary Guarantor”.”
| c. | Effective as of the Amendment Effective Date, the address of the Borrower in Schedule 11.02 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: |
“100 Federal Street, 29th Floor, Boston, MA 02110”.
2
| 3. | Conditions to Effectiveness. This Amendment shall not be effective until the Administrative Agent shall have received (a) counterparts of each of this Amendment duly executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Parent, the Administrative Agent and each Lender; (b) counterparts of the Reaffirmation of Subsidiary Guaranty, in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, duly executed by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors; and (c) all the fees and expenses required to be paid on or before the effectiveness of this Amendment (the date upon which all of such conditions shall be satisfied, the “Amendment Effective Date”). |
| 4. | Representations and Warranties. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants that (i) this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is party hereto, (ii) each of this Amendment, the Loan Agreement and the Reaffirmation of Subsidiary Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against each Loan Party that is party thereto in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws or general equitable principles relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally, (iii) the representations and warranties of the Borrower and each other Loan Party contained in Article VI of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, or which are contained in any document furnished at any time under or in connection therewith, shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects in the case of any representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect) on and as of the Amendment Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects in the case of any representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect) as of such earlier date and (iv) at the time of and immediately after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. |
| 5. | Limited Amendment; Ratification of Loan Documents. Except as specifically amended or modified hereby, the terms and conditions of the Existing Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the Parent Guaranty, shall remain in full force and effect, and are hereby confirmed, ratified and reaffirmed in all respects. This Amendment shall not be deemed a waiver of, or consent to, or a modification or amendment of, any other term or condition of the Existing Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, except as expressly set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Amendment shall not constitute a novation of any Loan Document. |
| 6. | Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York. |
| 7. | Miscellaneous. This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto on any number of separate counterparts, including both paper and electronic counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures delivered by facsimile or PDF shall have the same force and effect as manual signatures delivered in person. This Amendment may be executed using Electronic Signatures (including, without limitation, facsimile and .pdf) and shall be considered an original, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a manually signed paper hereof which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. Upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any counterpart executed using Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. For purposes hereof, “Electronic Signature” shall have the meaning assigned to it by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time. This Amendment expresses the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transaction contemplated by the Amendment. No prior negotiations or discussions shall limit, modify, or otherwise affect the provisions hereof. Any determination that any provision of this Amendment or any application hereof is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect and in any instance shall not affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of such provision in any other instance, or the validity, legality, or enforceability of any other provisions of this Amendment. This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document. |
