8. Section 2.6 of the Agreement hereby is amended and restated as follows:

“2.6 Additional Provisions Regarding Term SOFR-based Advances.

(a) Borrower may from time to time submit in writing a request that (x) any existing Term SOFR-based Advances continue for an additional Interest Period or convert to a Prime-based Advance or (y) any existing Prime-based Advance convert to a Term SOFR-based Advance. Each written request for a continuation of a Term SOFR-based Advance shall be substantially in the form of a Term SOFR Rate Continuation Certificate as set forth on Exhibit C-2, which shall be duly executed by a Responsible Officer, and shall specify the amount of the Interest Period to be applicable to such Term SOFR-based Advances. Each written request for a conversion from a Term SOFR-based Advance to a Prime-based Advance or from a Prime-based Advance to a Term SOFR-based Advance shall be substantially in the form of the Loan Advance/Paydown Request Form attached as Exhibit C-1. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, after Administrative Agent’s receipt of such a request from Borrower, such Term SOFR-based Advances shall continue or convert, as the case may be provided that:

(i) no Event of Default exists;

(ii) no party hereto shall have sent any notice of termination of the Agreement;

(iii) Borrower shall have complied with such customary procedures as Administrative Agent has established from time to time for requests for Term SOFR-based Advances;

(iv) the amount of a Term SOFR-based Advance shall be at least One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000);

(v) Administrative Agent shall have determined that the Interest Period or Term SOFR Rate is available to Administrative Agent as of the date of the request for such Term SOFR-based Advance; and

(vi) such request for Advance shall be delivered to Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on a U.S. Government Securities Business Day that is at least two (2) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the proposed date of the requested Advance.

Any request by Borrower to continue any existing Term SOFR-based Advances or convert any Prime-based Advances to Term SOFR-based Advances shall be irrevocable.

(b) Any Term SOFR-based Advances shall automatically continue for the same Interest Period upon the last day of the applicable Interest Period, unless Administrative Agent has received and approved a complete and proper request to continue such Term SOFR-based Advance by 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last day of the applicable Interest Period in accordance with the terms hereof. Any Term SOFR-based Advances shall, at Administrative Agent’s option, at the end of the current Interest Period

3

convert to Prime-based Advances in the event that an Event of Default in respect of Borrower shall occur and be continuing. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, upon demand by Administrative Agent together with a certificate attaching reasonable evidence of such losses any amounts required to compensate the Lenders for any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by such Person, as a result of the conversion of Term SOFR-based Advances to Prime-based Advances pursuant to any of the foregoing. Any “LIBOR-based Advances” that are outstanding as of the First Amendment Closing Date (“Existing LIBOR Advances”) shall remain “LIBOR-based Advances” (without giving effect to the changes made by the First Amendment) until the end of the applicable Interest Period. Any Existing LIBOR Advances shall automatically convert to Term SOFR-based Advances with a one (1) month tenor in the amount of such Existing LIBOR Advances on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Existing LIBOR Advances unless Borrower provides notice to Administrative Agent at least two (2) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to such conversion date that either (i) Borrower elects to convert such Existing LIBOR Advance to a Prime-based Advance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) Borrower elects to repay such Advance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that if any default or Event of Default exists on the last day of the applicable Interest Period, such Existing LIBOR Advances shall convert to Prime-based Advances.

(c) If for any reason (including voluntary or mandatory prepayment or acceleration), Administrative Agent receives all or part of the principal amount of a Term SOFR-based Advance prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Term SOFR-based Advance, Borrower shall on demand by Administrative Agent, pay Administrative Agent the amount (if any) by which (i) the additional interest which would have been payable on the amount so received had it not been received until the last day of such Interest Period or term exceeds (ii) the interest that would have been recoverable by Administrative Agent by placing the amount so received on deposit in the certificate of deposit markets or the offshore currency interbank markets or United States Treasury investment products, as the case may be, for a period starting on the date on which it was so received and ending on the last day of such Interest Period or term at the interest rate determined by Administrative Agent.

(d) If Administrative Agent shall have determined that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period, Administrative Agent shall give email or telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) thereof to Borrower. If such notice is given (x) any Term SOFR-based Advances requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Prime-based Advances, and (y) any outstanding Term SOFR-based Advances shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to Prime-based Advances. Until such notice has been withdrawn by Administrative Agent, no further Term SOFR-based Advances shall be made or continued as such, nor shall Borrower have the right to convert Credit Extensions to Term SOFR-based Advances. The provisions of this Section 2.6(d) shall be subject in all respects to Section 2.6(e) below and shall apply only until a successor rate is determined in accordance with Section 2.6(e).

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, in the event that (i) the Index is permanently or indefinitely unavailable or unascertainable, (ii) the Index can no longer be lawfully relied upon in contracts of this nature by any or all of the parties, or (iii) the Index does not accurately and fairly reflect the cost of making or maintaining the type of loans or advances under this Agreement and in any such case, such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, then all references to the interest rate herein will instead be (x) to Daily Simple SOFR and if Administrative Agent is unable to determine or ascertain Daily Simple SOFR (which determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes), then (y) to a replacement rate determined by Administrative Agent in its sole judgment, including any adjustment to the replacement rate to reflect a different credit spread, term or other mathematical adjustment deemed necessary by Administrative Agent in its sole judgment. Administrative Agent will provide reasonable notice to Borrower of such replacement rate as applicable pursuant to (x) or (y) above, which will be effective on the date of the earliest event set forth in clauses (i)-(iii) of this paragraph. If there is any ambiguity as to the date of occurrence of any such event, Administrative Agent’s judgment will be dispositive. Administrative Agent may also from time to time, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, make any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion

4

or continuation notices, length or applicability of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) (“Conforming Changes”) that Administrative Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such replacement rate and to permit the administration of the loans by Administrative Agent in an administratively and operationally practicable manner. If there is any ambiguity as to the date of occurrence of any such event, Administrative Agent’s judgment will be dispositive. Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to any replacement rate, any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof or any alternative, comparable or successor rate thereto, including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, comparable or successor rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as the immediately preceding interest index rate or any other interest rate index, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes.”

9. The third and fourth sentences in Section 2.10(c) hereby are amended and restated as follows:

“If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Term SOFR-based Advances) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on Term SOFR-based Advances becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.”

10. Schedule I of the Agreement hereby is replaced with Schedule I attached hereto.

11. Exhibit B-1 to the Agreement hereby is replaced with Exhibit B-1 attached hereto.

12. Exhibit B-2 to the Agreement hereby is replaced with Exhibit B-2 attached hereto.

13. Exhibit C to the Agreement hereby is replaced with Exhibit C attached hereto.

14. On the First Amendment Closing Date, Administrative Agent shall make an Advance to Borrower, on behalf of EWB, in the aggregate amount equal to $16,654,269.65, which represents the Revolving Extensions of Credit, plus all accrued interest thereon, owing from Borrower to Stifel, as of the First Amendment Closing Date, which Advance shall be remitted directly to Stifel and shall refinance all Indebtedness owing from Borrower to Stifel under the Loan Documents. Upon such repayment, (i) Stifel’s Revolving Commitment shall be terminated, (ii) Stifel will no longer be a Lender under the Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (iii) all of Stifel’s rights and obligations under the Agreement (including all of its Revolving Commitments and the Advances owing to it) will be assigned to EWB in accordance with its pro rata share of Revolving Commitments after giving effect to this Amendment (and Section 12.1 of the Agreement shall be deemed satisfied in connection with such assignment).

15. On the First Amendment Closing Date, Administrative Agent will reallocate the Revolving Extensions of Credit under the Agreement such that, after giving effect to such reallocation and this Amendment, EWB will hold such Revolving Extensions of Credit in accordance with its pro rata share of the aggregate Revolving Commitments. In connection with such reallocation of the Revolving Extensions of Credit, EWB’s Revolving Commitment shall be increased as reflected on Schedule I to the Agreement after giving effect to this Amendment.

16. No course of dealing on the part of Administrative Agent, any Lender or their respective officers, nor any failure or delay in the exercise of any right by Administrative Agent or any Lender, shall operate as a waiver thereof, and any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude any later exercise of any such right. Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s failure at any time to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision shall not affect any right of Administrative Agent or such Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance. Any suspension or waiver of a right must be in writing signed by an officer of Administrative Agent or Lenders, as applicable.

5

17. Unless otherwise defined, all initially capitalized terms in this Amendment shall be as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its respective terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Administrative Agent or Lenders under the Agreement, as in effect prior to the date hereof.

18. Borrower represents and warrants that the Representations and Warranties contained in the Agreement are true and correct as of the date of this Amendment, and that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

19. As a condition to the effectiveness of this Amendment, Administrative Agent shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, the following:

20. This Amendment and any other Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement or Loan Document, as applicable.
