RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the Borrowers have requested that, pursuant to Section 2.25 of the Existing Credit Agreement:

 

  (a)

Barclays Bank PLC, as a 2020 Incremental Lender, extend a Revolving Commitment Increase to the Borrowers on the 2020 Incremental Effective Date (as defined below) in the aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000 (the “Barclays Revolving Commitment Increase”); and

 

  (b)

Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as a 2020 Incremental Lender, extend a Revolving Commitment Increase to the Borrowers on the 2020 Incremental Effective Date in the aggregate principal amount of $35,000,000 (the “GS Revolving Commitment Increase” and together with the Barclays Revolving Commitment Increase, the “Amendment No. 2 Revolving Commitment Increase”).

WHEREAS, each 2020 Incremental Lender has agreed, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, to provide such Amendment No. 2 Revolving Commitment Increase and to become, if not already, a Lender for all purposes under the Credit Agreement.

WHEREAS, pursuant to Sections 2.25 and 11.1(b)(iv) of the Existing Credit Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement may be amended to give effect to the provisions of Section 2.25 of the Credit Agreement through an Incremental Amendment executed by the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent and each Lender providing an Amendment No. 2 Revolving Commitment Increase.

NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto therefore agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise specifically defined herein, each term used herein that is defined in the Credit Agreement has the meaning assigned to such term in the Credit Agreement.


SECTION 2. Amendment No. 2 Revolving Commitment Increase.

(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each 2020 Incremental Lender agrees (on a several and not joint basis) to make their respective Amendment No. 2 Revolving Commitment Increase available to the Borrowers on the 2020 Incremental Effective Date. The aggregate amount of all the Revolving Commitments on the 2020 Incremental Effective Date (after giving effect to the Amendment No. 2 Revolving Commitment Increase) is $180,000,000. The portion of Schedule 1.1A-1 of the Existing Credit Agreement appearing under the heading “Revolving Commitments” shall be replaced by Schedule I hereto.

(b) This Amendment constitutes an “Incremental Amendment” with respect to the establishment of the Amendment No. 2 Revolving Commitment Increase as a “Revolving Commitment Increase”. The Amendment No. 2 Revolving Commitment Increase is being established in accordance with Section 2.25 of the Existing Credit Agreement. Each of the 2020 Incremental Lenders constitutes an Incremental Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.25 of the Credit Agreement and, in such capacity, acknowledges the provisions of Section 2.25 of the Existing Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, commitments and loans made pursuant to the Amendment No. 2 Revolving Commitment Increase shall be “Revolving Loans” and “Loans” for all purposes under the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document and shall be treated as the same Class and Facility as the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans under the Existing Credit Agreement as of the date hereof immediately prior to giving effect to this Amendment (such Revolving Commitments, the “Existing Revolving Commitments” and such Revolving Loans, the “Existing Revolving Loans”) and shall have the same CUSIP as the Existing Revolving Commitments and any Existing Revolving Loans. Any revolving loans and other extensions of credit made pursuant to the Amendment No. 2 Revolving Commitment Increase shall have terms identical to the Existing Revolving Commitments (and Existing Revolving Loans, if any) and shall rank pari passu in right of payment and security with the Existing Revolving Commitments. The Borrowers and the 2020 Incremental Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to update the Register to reflect the amount, terms and date of the Amendment No. 2 Revolving Commitment Increase and the identity of the 2020 Incremental Lenders.

(c) Each 2020 Incremental Lender (a) represents and warrants (i) it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Amendment and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to become a Lender under Section 11.6(b) of the Credit Agreement, (ii) it meets all requirements of an Eligible Assignee under the Credit Agreement (subject to receipt of such consents as may be required under the Credit Agreement), (iii) from and after the 2020 Incremental Effective Date, it shall be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement as a Lender thereunder and shall have the obligations of a Lender thereunder, (iv) it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement, and has received, or has been accorded the opportunity to receive, copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 thereof, as applicable, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Amendment, (v) if applicable, it has duly completed an administrative questionnaire and applicable Forms, (vi) it is not a Debt Fund Affiliate and (vii) makes the representations and warranties contained in Section 10.7 of the Credit Agreement (to the extent Section 10.7 requires such representations and warranties to be made) and (b) agrees that (i) it will, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents and (ii) it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of the Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender.


SECTION 3. Representations of the Loan Parties. The Borrowers and each other Loan Party hereby represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent and each 2020 Incremental Lender that each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents (which, for purposes hereof, shall be deemed to include a representation that this Amendment does not conflict with the Existing Credit Agreement) are true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality) on and as of the 2020 Incremental Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality) as of such earlier date.

Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle any Loan Party to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances.

SECTION 10. Counterparts. This Amendment and any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice, certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Amendment (each a “Communication”), including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Each of the parties hereto agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on each such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of each such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, as applicable, to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include use or acceptance by any party hereto of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) each party hereto shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any other party hereto without further verification and (b) upon the reasonable request of any party hereto, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart. For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time.

SECTION 11. Miscellaneous. This Amendment shall constitute an “Incremental Amendment” and a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Amendment are deemed incorporated into the Credit Agreement as if fully set forth therein. The headings of this Amendment are for the purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. Section 11.14 of the Credit Agreement is incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis.


SECTION 12. Severability. Any provision of this Amendment that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
