SECTION 1. Amendments to the Credit Agreement.

The definition of “Maturity Date” in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

“Maturity Date” means the earliest of (i) June 30, 2024 and (ii) the date of termination of the Revolving Commitment; provided that the Lender may extend the Maturity Date by up to one year in the sole and absolute discretion of the Lender.

SECTION 2. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Lender that the following statements are true and correct in all respects:

(a) the representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof to the same extent as if made on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent such representations and warranties

specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date; provided that to the extent any such representation and warranty is already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects;

(b) the Borrower has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance by the Borrower of the Credit Agreement have been duly approved by all necessary organizational action of the Borrower; and

(c) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and this Agreement is the legally valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 3. Conditions to Effectiveness of this Agreement. The effectiveness of the Agreement shall be subject to the following conditions precedent (the date on which such conditions have been satisfied (or waived) is referred to herein as the “Effective Date”):

On and after the Effective Date, (i) the terms “Agreement”, “this Agreement”, “herein”, “hereinafter”, “hereto”, “hereof”, and words of similar import, as used in the Credit Agreement, shall, unless the context otherwise requires, mean the Amended Credit Agreement.
