Permitted Stock Issuances” means any sale, transfer, issuance or other disposition of any Capital Stock by Borrower (or any Parent) or any Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with its Organizational Documents, other than Disqualified Capital Stock, in each case, to the extent not resulting in a Change of Control. For purposes of clarification, any issuance of Capital Stock of Borrower pursuant to the Warrant shall be a “Permitted Stock Issuance”.
(c)Section 6.05(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing clauses (iv) and (v) thereof in their entirety as follows:
“(iv) Borrower may make Restricted Payments to any Parent (1) to the extent necessary to permit such Parent to pay (A) reasonable and customary general administrative costs and expenses and out‑of‑pocket legal, accounting and filing and other general corporate overhead costs of such Parent (including, without limitation, reasonable and customary salaries and benefits of officers and employees of such Parent) and (B) franchise taxes and other fees required to maintain such Parent’s organizational existence, in any case under this clause (1), that are actually incurred by such Parent and are reasonable and customary and incurred in the ordinary course of business and attributable to the ownership or operations of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (and Unrestricted Subsidiaries, to the extent (x) of Cash received from the applicable Unrestricted Subsidiary for payment thereof by Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or (y) the applicable payment is treated by Borrower or its applicable Restricted Subsidiary as an Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary and is permitted under Section 6.07), (2) to the extent necessary to permit such Parent, without duplication of any Permitted Tax Payments, to discharge its consolidated tax liabilities when and as due, to the extent such liabilities are attributable to the income of Borrower (or any Parent) and its Restricted Subsidiaries (and Unrestricted Subsidiaries, to the extent of Cash received from the applicable Unrestricted Subsidiary for payment of its share of such tax liability by Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary) and (3) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would immediately thereafter result therefrom, to the extent necessary to permit such Parent to pay directors’ fees (other than pursuant to the TCP Director Agreement), expenses and any reasonable and customary indemnification claims made by directors or officers of such Parent attributable to the ownership or operations of Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in each case, so long as such Parent applies the amount of any such Restricted Payment for such purpose (but, in each case, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the portion of any such amount, if any, that is attributable to the ownership or operations of any Subsidiary of any Parent other than Borrower and its Subsidiaries);
(v) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall be caused thereby, Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries may make Restricted Payments or otherwise, to the extent not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement, transfer funds to any Parent to be utilized for the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Capital Stock of Borrower (or any Parent) held by any current or former officer, director, employee or consultant of Borrower (or any Parent), or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or his or her estate, spouse, former spouse, family member or Affiliate of the foregoing (or for the payment of principal or interest on any Indebtedness issued in connection with such repurchase, redemption or other acquisition) in each case, pursuant to any equity subscription agreement, stock option agreement, shareholders’ agreement or other agreement or benefit plan of any kind; provided that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Capital Stock in any Fiscal Year may not exceed the greater of (x) $6,000,000 and (y) 12.5% of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA determined at the time of incurrence of such repurchase, redemption, acquisition or retirement of Capital Stock (calculated on a Pro Forma Basis) as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period;”
(d)Section 6.07 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing clause (s) thereof in its entirety as follows:
“(s) additional Investments may be made from time to time to the extent made with proceeds of Permitted Stock Issuances of Borrower (or any Parent), which proceeds or Investments in turn are contributed (as common equity) to a Credit Party;”
(e)Section 6.08 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing clause (a)(ii) thereof in its entirety as follows:
“(ii)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that (a) the then outstanding principal amount of Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Agreement is converted into (or exchanged for) Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Capital Stock) of Borrower (or any Parent) and/or any Restricted Subsidiary and/or (b) the Senior Indebtedness is repaid or prepaid, in full, in cash (other than in connection with a Permitted Refinancing thereof), then, in either case, the levels for the Financial Covenant set forth in the table above shall be revised to (1) take into account the aggregate principal amount of Consolidated Total Debt outstanding on the date of such payment, exchange or conversion (after giving effect to such prepayment, exchange and/or conversion) and (2) reflect a cushion to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA similar to the cushion then in effect immediately prior to such prepayment, exchange and/or conversion with respect to the levels set forth in clause (i) above on the date of such prepayment, exchange and/or conversion. Borrower and Administrative Agent may effect the provisions of this Section 6.08(a)(ii), without the consent of any other Credit Party, Agent or Lender, with such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and the Borrower. This Section 6.08(a)(ii) shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.05 to the contrary.”

(f)Section 6.08 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing clause (b) thereof in its entirety as follows:
“(b) Equity Cure Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.01, solely for the purpose of determining whether an Event of Default has occurred under the Total Net Leverage Ratio set forth in Section 6.08(a) as of the last day of any Fiscal Quarter, for the period commencing after the last day of the applicable Fiscal Quarter until the tenth (10) Business Day after the date on which financial statements for such Fiscal Quarter are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(b) (or in the case of the fourth Fiscal Quarter, the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(c)) (the “Cure Deadline”), Borrower (or any Parent) shall have the right to contribute Cash proceeds from a Permitted Stock Issuance to the capital of the Credit Parties prior to the Cure Deadline and apply the amount of the proceeds so contributed to increase Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for such Fiscal Quarter solely for the purposes of determining compliance with such Financial Covenant at the end of such Fiscal Quarter and any subsequent period that includes such Fiscal Quarter (any such equity contribution so included in the calculation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, a “Specified Equity Contribution”); provided that (a) the Specified Equity Contribution is actually received by Borrower after the last day of the applicable Fiscal Quarter and no later than the Cure Deadline, (b) in each consecutive four (4) Fiscal Quarter period there will be at least two (2) consecutive Fiscal Quarters in which no Specified Equity Contribution is made, (c) the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution will be no greater than the amount required to cause Borrower to be in compliance with the Financial Covenant, (d) all Specified Equity Contributions will be disregarded for purposes of the calculation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for all other purposes, including calculating basket levels, financial ratio based conditions, pricing and other items governed by reference to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, (e) there shall be no more than five (5) Specified Equity Contributions made in the aggregate after the Closing Date and (f) any Specified Equity Contribution shall be required to be applied to prepay any then outstanding principal amount of Term Loans or, subject to the Senior Subordination Agreement, the Senior Indebtedness; provided, that any loans so prepaid shall be deemed outstanding for purposes of determining compliance with the Financial Covenant for the current Fiscal Quarter and the next three (3) Fiscal Quarters thereafter, and the cash proceeds from such Specified Equity Contribution shall not be included for cash netting purposes in the determination of Consolidated Total Debt or any financial ratio. Upon the making of any Specified Equity Contribution in accordance with the previous sentence, the Financial Covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to the following adjustments on a Pro Forma Basis: (A) Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for such Fiscal Quarter shall be increased with respect to such applicable Fiscal Quarter (solely for the purposes of determining compliance with such covenants at the end of such Fiscal Quarter and any subsequent period that includes such Fiscal Quarter), by an amount equal to the Specified Equity Contribution; and (B) if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Financial Covenant, Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Financial Covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the Financial Covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon receipt by Administrative Agent of a notice from the Borrower prior to the Cure Deadline of its intent to cure such Event of Default (“Notice of Intent to Cure”), through the Cure Deadline no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred on the basis of any failure to comply with the Financial Covenant unless such failure is not cured pursuant to the Notice of Intent to Cure on or prior to the Cure Deadline. No Specified Equity Contribution shall be applied to (i) increase the Available Amount, (ii) make any Consolidated Capital Expenditures or (iii) make an Investment pursuant to Section 6.07(m) or (s).”.
(g)Section 10.06 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing clause (i)(ii) thereof in its entirety as follows:
“(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Affiliated Lender, in its capacity as a Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may make one or more capital contributions or assignments of Term Loans that it acquires in accordance with this Section 10.06(ii) or otherwise directly or indirectly to Borrower solely in exchange for Permitted Stock Issuances of Borrower (or any Parent) upon written notice to Administrative Agent. Immediately upon Borrower’s acquisition of Term Loans from an Affiliated Lender, such Term Loans and all rights and obligations as a Lender related thereto shall for all purposes (including under this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and otherwise) be deemed to be irrevocably prepaid, terminated, extinguished, cancelled and of no further force and effect and the Borrower shall neither obtain nor have any rights as a Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents by virtue of such capital contribution or assignment; provided that, upon such prepayment, termination, extinguishment and cancellation, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans shall be deemed reduced, as of the date of such contribution, by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans so contributed and cancelled, and each principal repayment installment with respect to the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be reduced on a pro rata basis by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so contributed and cancelled.”.
