The Stock Repurchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties.
The repurchase of shares of common stock from TDG pursuant to the Stock Repurchase Agreement was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) separately from, and will not reduce the authorized amount remaining under, the existing common stock repurchase program of the Company that was approved by the Board on October 30, 2018.

The Amendment increases the amount of certain otherwise restricted payments permitted during the Financial Covenant Relief Period (as defined in the Second Amendment to the Credit Amendment, dated April 28, 2020) from $26.0 million to $226.0 million to accommodate the repurchase of shares of common stock from TDG described above.
