Canada Corporation (“Canadian Borrower” and together with the U.S. Borrowers, the “Borrowers”), the guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”), the financial institutions from time-to-time party thereto as lenders (the “Lenders”), and Bank of America, N.A., as agent for the Lenders (“Agent”), which amends that certain Loan, Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of June 23, 2015, as amended by that certain Amendment Number One to Loan, Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of February 16, 2016, and that certain Amendment Number Two to Loan, Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of April 22, 2019, by and among the Borrowers, the Guarantors, the Lenders and Agent (as so amended, the “Existing Loan Agreement” and as further amended by the Third Amendment, the “Loan Agreement”).
