NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree that the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:

1. The definition of “Adjusted EBITDA” is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including any reduction or termination of the Commitment pursuant to Section 2.1(d), Bank hereby agrees to make advances to Borrower from time to time up to and including March 31, 2027, not to exceed at any time the aggregate principal amount of Thirty-Five Million Dollars ($35,000,000.00) (the “Line of Credit”), the proceeds of which shall be used for general corporate purposes. Borrower’s obligation to repay advances under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a promissory note dated as of the date hereof, as modified from time to time (the “Line of Credit Note”).

3. Section 2.1(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

(c) Standby Letter of Credit Subfeature. As a subfeature under the Line of Credit, Bank agrees from time to time during the term thereof to issue or cause a branch, a subsidiary, or an affiliate to issue standby letters of credit for the account of Borrower (each, a “Letter of Credit” and collectively, “Letters of Credit”); provided however, that the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letter of Credits of Credit shall not at any time exceed Thirty Five Million Dollars ($35,000,000.00). Bank shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit of Credit if (i) any order, judgment, or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall, by its terms, purport to enjoin or restrain Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit of Credit, or any law applicable to Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over Bank shall prohibit or request that Bank


refrain from the issuing of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit of Credit in particular, or (ii) such Letter of Credit of Credit would violate one or more policies of Bank applicable to letters of credit generally, or (iii) if amounts demanded to be paid under any Letter of Credit of Credit will or may not be in United States Dollars. The form and substance of each Letter of Credit of Credit shall be subject to approval by Bank, in its sole discretion. No Letter of Credit of Credit shall have an expiration date more than one-year subsequent to the maturity date of the Line of Credit and, if requested by Bank, any Letter of Credit having an expiration date after the maturity date of the Line of Credit shall be Cash Collateralized in an amount equal to 105% of the maximum face amount of such Letter of Credit. The undrawn amount of all Letter of Credits of Credit shall be reserved under the Line of Credit and shall not be available for borrowings thereunder. Each Letter of Credit of Credit shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions of Bank’s standard standby letter of credit agreement and all applications and related documents required by Bank in connection with the issuance thereof (each, a “Letter of Credit Agreement”). Each drawing paid under a Letter of Credit of Credit shall be deemed an advance under the Line of Credit and shall be repaid by Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to such advances; provided however, that if advances under the Line of Credit are not available, for any reason, at the time any drawing is paid, then Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank the full amount drawn, together with interest thereon from the date such drawing is paid to the date such amount is fully repaid by Borrower, at the rate of interest applicable to advances under the Line of Credit.
