W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Company, each lender from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and the Agent are parties to that certain Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of November 1, 2021 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”) (capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the same meanings assigned thereto in the Credit Agreement); and
WHEREAS, the Company has, by notice to the Agent delivered pursuant to Section 2.20 of the Credit Agreement, requested incremental commitments (the “Incremental Commitments”) in an aggregate principal amount of $230,000,000.
WHEREAS, on September 18, 2023, the Company has, by notice to the Agent delivered pursuant to Section 2.16 of the Credit Agreement, requested that the latest Commitment Termination Date be extended for a period of one year, expiring November 1, 2028 (such extension, the “Extension”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of all of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1.Incremental Lenders and the Incremental Commitments. Pursuant to Section 2.20 of the Credit Agreement and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to effectiveness of this Agreement set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement:
(a)Each Incremental Lender severally agrees to provide Incremental Commitments in the principal amount for such Incremental Lender set forth on Schedule A hereto. The aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Commitments being provided by all of the Incremental Lenders pursuant to this Agreement is $230,000,000.
(b)The Incremental Commitments set forth on Schedule A hereto shall have terms identical to the terms of the Revolving Commitments outstanding under the Credit Agreement on the Effective Date (as defined below) that have a Commitment Termination Date of November 1, 2028 (including, without limitation, with respect to the maturity date, pricing, mandatory prepayments and voluntary prepayments) and shall otherwise be subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. On and after the Effective Date, each reference to (x) a “Revolving Commitment” or “Revolving Commitments” or (y) a “Revolving Advance” or “Revolving Advances” in the Credit Agreement or herein shall be deemed to include the Incremental Commitments and any Incremental Advances made in respect of the Incremental Commitments established pursuant to this Agreement and all other related terms will have correlative meanings.
(c)For the avoidance of doubt, each Incremental Lender hereby notifies the Company and the Agent of its willingness to accept the Company’s request for the Extension such that the Commitment Termination Date with respect to its Incremental Commitment shall be November 1, 2028.
(d)Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary, including the effecting of notional assignments between the
Incremental Lenders and the other Revolving Lenders of outstanding Revolving Advances to ensure that, after giving effect to this Agreement, all Incremental Advances, when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Advances under the Revolving Facility on a pro rata basis.

(b)on and as of the Effective Date, no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the effectiveness of the Incremental Commitments.
