The Credit Agreement is an amendment and restatement of that certain Credit Agreement dated October 30, 2017 by and among Borrowers, the lenders time to time party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent (the "Prior Credit Agreement"), and provides for the credit facilities described below (collectively, the "Facilities").





Facilities.


· Revolving Credit Facility: A USD $100.0 million five-year a secured revolving


   credit facility made available to the US Borrower. The Revolving Credit
   Facility includes sublimits for letters of credit and swingline loans (the
   "Revolving Credit Facility").



· US Term Loan Facility: A USD $80.0 million five-year secured term loan A (the


   "US Term Loan") made available to the US Borrower (the "US Term Loan
   Facility").

   "Canadian Term Loan" and, together with the US Term Loan, the "Term Loans")
   made available to the Canadian Borrower (the "Canadian Term Loan Facility," and
   together with the US Term Loan Facility, the "Term Loan Facilities").



Proceeds of the Facilities were used at closing to repay and refinance the Borrowers' existing indebtedness under the Prior Credit Agreement and pay all interest, fees and expenses related thereto, and thereafter shall be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Accordion. The Credit Agreement allows for incremental term loans and incremental revolving commitments in an amount not to exceed USD $100.0 million.

The US Term Loan and the obligations of the US Borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by a first lien on all of the assets of the Company, the US Borrower and the US Subsidiary Guarantors, including 100% of the capital stock of the US Subsidiary Guarantors and 65% of the capital stock of the first tier material foreign subsidiaries of the Company, the US Borrower and the US Subsidiary Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.

The Canadian Borrower will have the option to pay interest on the Canadian Term Loan at a prime rate, plus an applicable margin, or at a rate based on CDOR plus an applicable margin.

Under the applicable Facilities, the applicable margin for base rate loans and Canadian prime rate loans is 62.5 basis points and the applicable margin for LIBOR loans and CDOR loans is 162.5 basis points; provided that, following the completion of one full fiscal quarter after the closing date, the applicable margins will be determined based on a leverage-based performance grid.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Revolving Credit Facility, the US Borrower is required to pay a commitment fee in respect of unutilized revolving commitments of 0.25% per annum, provided that, following the completion of one full fiscal quarter after the closing date, the commitment fee will be determined based on a leverage-based performance grid.
