WHEREAS, the Borrowers and the Parent have requested that and the Administrative Agent and Lenders extend the Revolver Termination Date and to amend certain other provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions contained herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Specific Amendments to Credit Agreement. Upon the satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in Section 3 of this Amendment, the parties hereto agree that the Existing Credit Agreement is amended as follows:

(a) Section 1.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new definitions in alphabetical order:

“Second Amendment Effective Date” shall mean January 9, 2024.

(b) Section 1.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by restating the followings definitions in full as follows:

“ABR” shall mean, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 0.5%, and (c) the SOFR Loan Rate with a term of one-month in effect on such day plus the SOFR Spread Adjustment plus 1.00%. For purposes hereof: “Prime Rate” shall mean the rate of interest per annum designated from time to time by M&T as its prime rate and notified to the Lead Borrower (the Prime Rate not being intended to be the lowest rate of interest charged by M&T in connection with extensions of credit to debtors). Any change in the ABR due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or such SOFR Loan Rate shall be effective as of the opening of business on the effective day of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or such SOFR Loan Rate, respectively.

“Revolver Termination Date” shall mean, as the context may require, (a) with respect to the Revolver Facility in effect on the Second Amendment Effective Date including any Incremental Revolver Facility incurred after the date hereof, January 9, 2029,

(b) with respect to any Replacement Revolver Facility, the date applicable thereto pursuant to Section 9.08(e) and (c) with respect to any Extended Revolver Commitment or Extended Revolver Loan, the date agreed to in the applicable Extension pursuant to Section 2.24.

“SOFR Loan Rate” means for any Interest Period, the rate per annum (rounded upward to the nearest 1/16 of 1%) equal to Term SOFR published for the date that is two (2) U.S. Government Securities Business Days (the “Rate Determination Date”) prior to the commencement of such Interest Period and having a term equivalent to such Interest Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as of 5:00 p.m. (ET) on any Rate Determination Date, Term SOFR has not been published, then the rate used will be such Term SOFR as published for the first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day so long as such first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day is not more than three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to such Rate Determination Date. Notwithstanding any provision above, (i) if the SOFR Loan Rate as so determined would be less than the Floor, the SOFR Loan Rate will be deemed to be the Floor for purposes hereof and (ii) the practice of rounding to determine the SOFR Loan Rate may be discontinued at any time in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion.

“SOFR Spread Adjustment” means 0.10% with respect to the SOFR Loan Rate.

(c) The Existing Credit Agreement is further amended by replacing Schedule 2.01 thereto with Schedule 2.01 attached hereto.

Section 2. Reallocations on the Second Amendment Effective Date.

(a) Simultaneously with the effectiveness of this Agreement, the Revolver Commitments of each of the Revolver Lenders as existing immediately prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date, shall be reallocated among the Revolver Lenders so that the Revolver Commitments are held by the Revolver Lenders as set forth on Schedule 2.01 attached hereto. To effect such reallocations, each Revolver Lender who either had no Revolver Commitment prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement or whose Revolver Commitment upon the effectiveness of this Agreement exceeds its Revolver Commitment immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement (each an “Assignee Revolver Lender”) shall be deemed to have purchased all right, title and interest in, and all obligations in respect of, the Revolver Commitments from the Revolver Lenders whose Revolver Commitments upon the effectiveness of this Agreement are less than their respective Revolver Commitment immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement (each an “Assignor Revolver Lender”), so that the Revolver Commitments of the Revolver Lenders will be held by the Revolver Lenders as set forth on Schedule 2.01 attached hereto. Such purchases shall be deemed to have been effected by way of, and subject to the terms and conditions of, an Assignment and Acceptance without the payment of any related assignment fee, and, except for Notes to be provided to the Assignor Revolver Lenders and Assignee Revolver Lenders in the principal amount of their respective Revolver Commitments, no other documents or instruments shall be, or shall be required to be, executed in connection with such assignments (all of which are hereby waived). The Assignor Revolver Lenders, the Assignee Revolver Lenders and the other Lenders (if any) shall make such cash settlements among themselves, through the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may direct (after giving effect to the making of any Loans to be made on the Second Amendment Effective Date and any netting transaction effected by the Administrative Agent) with respect to such reallocations and assignments so that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolver Loans shall be held by the Revolver Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amount of the Revolver Commitments set forth on Schedule 2.01 attached hereto.
