The Collateral also secures the Company’s currently undrawn $150.0 million Revolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement dated as\nof August 17, 2022, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”).\n\n \n\nThe Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to purchase $377,534,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 7.25% Senior Secured\nNotes due 2027 (the “Existing Notes”) that were tendered pursuant to the Company’s Tender Offer (as defined in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K), and all interest, costs, fees, expenses and other amounts due and payable in respect\nthereof.  $25,465,000 aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes remain outstanding and the Company expects to redeem such remaining Existing Notes in third quarter 2026.  The Company will use the balance of the net proceeds of the Notes for\ngeneral corporate purposes.\n\n \n\nThe Notes are the Company’s senior secured obligations, ranking equally in right of payment with all of its existing and future senior indebtedness and senior to its\nexisting and future subordinated indebtedness.  The Notes will be effectively senior to the Company’s existing and future unsecured indebtedness to the extent of the Company’s property and assets securing the Notes.  Each Note Guarantee is such\nGuarantor’s senior secured obligations, ranking equally in right of payment with all of its existing and future senior indebtedness and senior to its existing and future subordinated indebtedness.  Each Note Guarantee is effectively senior to the\napplicable Guarantor’s existing and future unsecured indebtedness to the extent of the Guarantor’s property and assets securing the Guarantee.  The Notes and the Note Guarantees will be structurally subordinated to the existing and future\nindebtedness of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.\n\n \n\nPrior to July 1, 2028, the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus a\n“make-whole” premium (as defined in the Indenture), together with any accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date.  Prior to July 1, 2028, the Company may on any one or more occasions\nredeem up to 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of additional notes) per year at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued and\nunpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.  In addition, prior to July 1, 2028, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes with the net cash proceeds of certain\nequity offerings at a redemption price set forth in the Indenture, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date, provided that at least 60% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (calculated\nafter giving effect to any issuance of additional notes) remains outstanding.  On and after July 1, 2028, the Company may redeem all or part of the Notes at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture, plus any accrued and unpaid interest\nthereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.\n\n \n\nUpon the occurrence of certain changes in control of the Company described in the Indenture, the Company will be required to offer to repurchase all of the Notes at a\npurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase.\n\n \n\nIn addition, upon the occurrence of certain asset sales or recovery events described in the Indenture, if the Company has not used the net proceeds therefrom to prepay\ncertain permitted debt or reinvest in assets as prescribed by the Indenture within the time periods set forth therein, the Company will be required to offer to repurchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes and other First Lien Debt\n(as defined in the Indenture) that may be purchased with the excess proceeds of such asset sales or recovery events at a repurchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes and any such other First Lien Debt, plus accrued\nand unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase.\n\n \n\nThe Indenture contains certain covenants that limit the ability of the Company and the Guarantors to, among other things: (i) make restricted payments; (ii) incur\nindebtedness or issue preferred stock; (iii) create or incur certain liens; (iv) dispose of loyalty programs or brand intellectual property collateral; (v) merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all assets and (vi) enter into certain\ntransactions with affiliates.\n\n \n\nThe Indenture also requires the Company to comply with certain affirmative covenants, including to deliver a quarterly compliance certificate to the Trustee\ndemonstrating that the Company is in compliance with its covenant under the Indenture that, at the end of each calendar quarter, it will maintain a minimum aggregate amount of liquidity of $300.0 million.  If the Company fails to deliver such\nquarterly compliance certificate within the prescribed time period or the certificate demonstrates that such liquidity is less than $300.0 million, then the Company will be required to pay additional interest on all outstanding Notes in an amount\nequal to 2.0% per annum of the principal amount of such Notes until the Company delivers to the Trustee an officer’s certificate demonstrating compliance with the aforementioned minimum aggregate liquidity requirement. In addition, the Company is\nrequired to comply with certain specified financial reporting requirements and to maintain the Collateral.\n\n \n\nSubject to certain materiality thresholds, qualifications, exceptions, “baskets” and grace and cure periods, the Indenture also includes certain customary events of\ndefault, including payment defaults, covenant defaults, a cross default to indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and bankruptcy events.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default other than bankruptcy events of default, the Trustee or the\nholders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may declare the principal amount of and premium, if any, on the Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to be due and payable immediately.  Upon the occurrence\nof bankruptcy events of default, the principal amount of and premium, if any, on the Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes will automatically be due and payable immediately.\n\n \n\nIf the Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their maturity date, in each case, in respect of any event of default, the amount that shall then be due\nand payable by the Company shall be equal to: (x) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding plus a “make-whole” premium in effect on the date of such acceleration to be calculated as described in the Indenture, plus (y) accrued and\nunpaid interest to the date of such acceleration.\n\n \n\nThe foregoing summary of the Indenture and the Notes is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete text of the Indenture and\nthe Notes, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.  A copy of the press release announcing the issuance of the Notes is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current\nReport on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.\n\n \n\nAmendment to Existing Notes Indenture\n\n \n\nAfter obtaining consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding Existing Notes, the Company, the subsidiary guarantors of the Company party thereto and Wilmington\nTrust, National Association, as trustee, entered into a First Supplemental Indenture on June 24, 2026 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) to amend the indenture that governs the Existing Notes (the “Existing Notes Indenture”).\n\n \n\nThe First Supplemental Indenture amends the Existing Notes Indenture by eliminating certain restrictive covenants and certain events of default applicable to the\nExisting Notes, reducing the minimum notice period required for redemptions of the Existing Notes from 30 days to 3 business days and amending certain other provisions applicable to the Existing Notes.\n\n \n\nThe First Supplemental Indenture became effective upon its execution and delivery by the Company and the other parties thereto, and the amendments effected thereby\nbecame operative upon the Company’s purchase of a majority of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Existing Notes as described under Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.\n\n \n\nThe First Supplemental Indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.\n\n \n\nAmendment to Credit Agreement\n\n \n\nOn June 25, 2026, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 2”).  The amendment, among other things, amended certain covenants and\nrelated provisions contained in the Credit Agreement to conform such provisions to the corresponding covenants and related provisions contained in the Indenture governing the Notes.  The Credit Agreement remains undrawn at this time.\n\n \n\nThe foregoing summary of Amendment No. 2 is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete text of the Credit Agreement, as\namended.  A copy of Amendment No. 2 is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference."}
