W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, Administrative Agent, Borrower and Lenders are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), dated June 5, 2018, which established a revolving line of credit in the maximum principal sum of $540,000,000.00 (the “Credit Facility”); and

WHEREAS, Borrower desires to increase the Credit Facility Amount from $540,000,000.00 to $590,000,000.00, pursuant to Section 2.10 of the Credit Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Borrower asked BMO to become a Lender, and BMO is willing to become a Lender, and make a Commitment of up to $50,000,000.00, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Administrative Agent, Borrower, the undersigned Guarantors, and BMO hereby agree as follows:

1.    Definitions. All terms used herein with initial capital letters, but not defined herein, shall have the meanings specified in the Credit Agreement.

2.    Credit Facility Amount. Pursuant to Section 2.10 of the Credit Agreement (a) the Credit Facility Amount is hereby increased from $540,000,000.00 to $590,000,000.00, and (b) the aggregate amount of the Commitments is hereby increased from $540,000,000.00 to $590,000,000.00.

3.    Joinder of BMO. BMO agrees to assume, and does hereby assume, the obligations of a Lender under the Credit Agreement. BMO agrees to abide by and be bound by all of the terms of the Credit Agreement applicable to Lenders. Accordingly, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended such that any and all references to the “Lenders” shall be deemed to refer to BMO, as well as each of the parties that have previously been included within the meaning of such term.


4.    Commitments and Applicable Percentages. As a result of (a) the increase in the Credit Facility Amount, and (b) the addition of BMO as a Lender, Schedule 2.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby revised and replaced in its entirety with Schedule 2.1 attached hereto, and Lenders’ respective Commitments and Applicable Percentages are revised as set forth therein.

5.    Additional Note. To evidence the increase in the Credit Facility Amount, contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Borrower shall execute and deliver a promissory note in the principal sum of $50,000,000.00, payable to the order of BMO, which promissory note shall (i) be dated of even date with this Agreement, (ii) be substantially in the form of Exhibit E attached to the Credit Agreement, (iii) be considered a Note, as defined in the Credit Agreement, in addition to all other Notes previously executed by Borrower in connection with the Credit Agreement.

7.    Bond Indenture. Borrower represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and Lenders that (a) Borrower is not in default and no event has occurred which, with the passage of time, giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default by Borrower of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Bond Indenture, and (b) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not violate the terms and conditions of the Bond Indenture.

8.    Resolutions. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent, a copy of resolutions duly adopted by Borrower, approving the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and certified by an officer of Borrower to be a true and correct.

9.    Acknowledgment by Borrower. Except as otherwise specified herein, the terms and provisions hereof shall in no manner impair, limit, restrict or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower or any third party to Administrative Agent and Lenders, as evidenced by the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby acknowledges, agrees and represents that (i) Borrower is indebted to Lenders pursuant to the terms of the Notes; (ii) there are no claims or offsets against, or defenses or counterclaims to, the terms or provisions of the Loan Documents, and the other obligations created or evidenced by the Loan Documents; (iii) Borrower has no claims, offsets, defenses or counterclaims arising from any of Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ acts or omissions with respect to the Loan Documents or Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ performance under the Loan Documents; (iv) the representations and warranties of Borrower contained in the Loan Documents are true and correct as of the date hereof, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date; (v) Borrower is not in default and no event has occurred which, with the passage of time, giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default by Borrower of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, and (vi) neither Administrative Agent nor Lenders are in default and no event has occurred which, with the passage of time, giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default by Administrative Agent or Lenders of their respective obligations under the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents.

10.    No Waiver of Remedies. Except as may be expressly set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prejudice, act as, or be deemed to be a waiver of any right or remedy available to Administrative Agent or Lenders by reason of the occurrence or existence of any fact, circumstance or event constituting a default under the Loan Documents.

11.    Joinder of Guarantor.

12.    Costs and Expenses. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery hereof, Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, all costs and expenses incident to the preparation, execution and recordation hereof and the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to, reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel to Administrative Agent.

13.    Additional Documentation.

14.    Effectiveness of the Loan Documents. Except as expressly modified by the terms and provisions hereof, each of the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents are hereby ratified and shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that any reference in any of the Loan Documents to the Credit Facility, the amount constituting the Credit Facility, any defined terms, or to any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed, from and after the date hereof, to refer to the Credit Facility, the amount constituting the Credit Facility, defined terms and to such other Loan Documents, as modified hereby.

16.    Time. Time is of the essence in the performance of the covenants contained herein and in the Loan Documents.

17.    Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, the foregoing shall not be deemed or construed to (i) permit, sanction, authorize or condone the assignment of any rights, titles or interests in and to Borrower, or (ii) confer any right, title, benefit, cause of action or remedy upon any person or entity not a party hereto, which such party would not or did not otherwise possess.

18.    Headings. The section headings hereof are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way alter, amend, define or be used in the construction or interpretation of the text of such section.

19.    Construction. Whenever the context hereof so requires, reference to the singular shall include the plural and likewise, the plural shall include the singular; words denoting gender shall be construed to mean the masculine, feminine or neuter, as appropriate; and specific enumeration shall not exclude the general, but shall be construed as cumulative of the general recitation.

20.    Severability. If any clause or provision of this Agreement is or should ever be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law applicable to the terms hereof, then and in that event, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and that in lieu of each such clause or provision of this Agreement that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such clause or provision shall be judicially construed and interpreted to be as similar in substance and content to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause or provision, as the context thereof would reasonably suggest, so as to thereafter be legal, valid and enforceable.

21.    Counterparts. To facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as may be convenient or required. It shall not be necessary that the signature and acknowledgment of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature and acknowledgment of all persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto. Any signature page to any counterpart may be detached from such counterpart without impairing the legal effect of the signatures thereon and thereafter attached to another counterpart identical thereto except having attached to it additional signature pages. Delivery of a photocopy of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by electronic mail shall be equally as effective as delivery of an executed original counterpart.
