(c) an amount, not to exceed for any consecutive four-quarter period ending (x) with the fiscal quarters ended on or about June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, $200,000,000, and (y) on any other fiscal quarter-end, $100,000,000, in each case equal to the sum (without duplication and to the extent deducted in calculating net income or loss in clause (a) above) of all one-time cash charges associated with (i) merger- or acquisition-related expenses (including legal fees, investment banking fees and other similar fees and expenses), in connection with any merger or acquisition entered into or consummated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which is otherwise permitted under this Agreement, (ii) restructuring costs incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with any restructuring entered into or consummated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which is otherwise permitted under this Agreement, and (iii) net losses from the early extinguishment of notes or other Indebtedness; in each case paid in such period and calculated in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that, no one-time cash charges in connection with merger- or acquisition-related expenses shall be
added to the calculation of EBITDA if the Company and its Subsidiaries, in connection with any Specified Transaction to which such expenses relate, shall have adjusted EBITDA on a pro forma basis to give effect to such Specified Transaction as if such Specified Transaction had occurred as of the first day of such period as described in the last sentence of this definition.
2. Condition Precedent. This Amendment shall become effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of counterparts of this Amendment duly executed by the Company, the Required Lenders, and the Administrative Agent.
3. Payment of Expenses. The Company agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Moore & Van Allen PLLC.

(b) The Company represents and warrants that: (i) the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Amendment and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are within the powers of the Company and have been duly authorized by all necessary actions on the part of the Company; (ii) this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity; (iii) no material consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person (including the shareholders of any Person) is required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Amendment by the Company and the performance or consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby, except as such (A) have been made or obtained and are in full force and effect, or (B) are being made or obtained in a timely manner and once made or obtained will be in full force and effect; (iv) the execution and delivery by the Company of this Amendment and the performance and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not (A) violate any material Requirement of Law applicable to the Company, (B) violate any provision of, or result in the breach or the acceleration of, or entitle any other Person to accelerate (whether after the giving of notice or lapse of time or both), any material Contractual Obligation of the Company, or (C) result in the creation or imposition of any material Lien (or the obligation to create or impose any Lien) upon any property, asset or revenue of the Company; and (v) after giving effect to this Amendment, (A) the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Article V of the Credit Agreement and in each other Loan Document or in any document furnished at any time under or in connection therewith, shall be (1) in the case of representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality, true and correct, and (2) in the case of representations and warranties that are not qualified as to materiality, true and correct in all material respects, in each case on and as of the Second 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 or true and correct in all material respects, as the case may be, as of such earlier date (provided, that, for purposes of
2

(c) This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or other electronic imagine means (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.
(d) If any provision of this Amendment is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (i) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Amendment shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
(e) THIS AMENDMENT AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
