B. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment, the parties hereto have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement as further provided herein.

THEREFORE, the Borrower, the Lenders that have executed this Amendment, and the Administrative Agent agree as follows:

Section 1. Defined Terms. As used in this Amendment, each of the terms defined in the opening paragraph and the Recitals above shall have the meaning set forth above. Each term defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein without definition shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Credit Agreement, unless expressly provided to the contrary.

Section 2. Other Definitional Provisions. Article, Section, Schedule, and Exhibit references are to Articles and Sections of and Schedules and Exhibits to this Amendment, unless otherwise specified. All references to instruments, documents, contracts, and agreements are references to such instruments, documents, contracts, and agreements as the same may be amended, supplemented, and otherwise modified from time to time, unless otherwise specified. The words “hereof,” “herein,” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Amendment shall refer to this Amendment as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Amendment. The term “including” means “including, without limitation.” Paragraph headings have been inserted in this Amendment as a matter of convenience for reference only and it is agreed that such paragraph headings are not a part of this Amendment and shall not be used in the interpretation of any provision of this Amendment.


Section 3. Amendments.

(a) Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the following new defined terms in alphabetical order therein:

Merger Agreement” means that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 16, 2022, between the Borrower and Omega Acquisition, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation, as in effect on the Second Amendment Effective Date, or as otherwise amended, restated, supplemented, or modified in a manner not materially adverse to the Lenders.

Merger Closing Date” means the date upon which the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall have occurred in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

Second Amendment Effective Date” means November 10, 2022.

(b) Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to amend and restate the definition of “Change in Control” as follows:

Change in Control” means:

(a) prior to the Merger Closing Date, any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), other than the Hamm Group, is or becomes the Beneficial Owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the total outstanding Voting Stock of the Borrower or any Successor Parent (measured by voting power rather than the number of shares); provided that no Change in Control shall be deemed to occur by reason of the Borrower becoming a Subsidiary of a Successor Parent; and

(b) on and after the Merger Closing Date, the failure of the Hamm Group to have the beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of the Borrower or any Successor Parent (measured by voting power rather than the number of shares).

For purposes of this definition, any transfer of an equity interest of an entity that was formed for the purpose of acquiring Voting Stock of the Borrower will be deemed to be a transfer of such portion of such Voting Stock as corresponds to the portion of the equity of such entity that has been so transferred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur upon the consummation of any actions undertaken by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary solely for the purpose of changing the legal structure of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary.

Section 4. Representations and Warranties. Each Loan Party represents and warrants that: (a) the representations and warranties of such Loan Party set forth in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent any such representations and warranties are expressly limited to an earlier date, in which case, such representations and warranties continue to be true and correct in all material respects as of such specified earlier date; provided that in each case, such materiality

Section 5. Reaffirmation of Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby ratifies, confirms, and acknowledges that its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty are in full force and effect and that such Guarantor continues to unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly and severally, guarantee the full and punctual payment of, when due, whether at stated maturity or earlier by acceleration or otherwise, all of the Obligations (as defined in the Subsidiary Guaranty), subject to the terms of the Subsidiary Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that its execution and delivery of this Amendment does not indicate or establish an approval or consent requirement by such Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guaranty in connection with the execution and delivery of amendments to the Credit Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents.

Section 6. Conditions to Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective on the Amendment Effective Date and enforceable against the parties hereto upon the occurrence of the following conditions precedent:

(b) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby expressly reserve all of their rights, remedies, and claims under the Loan Documents. Except as otherwise expressly contemplated herein, nothing in this Amendment shall constitute a waiver or relinquishment of (i) any Default or Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents, (ii) any of the agreements, terms or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents, (iii) any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the Loan Documents, or (iv) the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to collect the full amounts owing to them under the Loan Documents.

Section 11. Governing Law. The governing law provisions set forth in Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement apply to this Amendment.

Section 12. Entire Agreement. THIS AMENDMENT, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AS AMENDED BY THIS AMENDMENT, THE NOTES, AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS CONSTITUTE THE ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND SUPERSEDE ANY PRIOR AGREEMENTS, WRITTEN OR ORAL, WITH RESPECT THERETO.
