Guarantor is a party to that certain Limited Guaranty, dated as of September 10, 2021, made in favor of Administrative Agent (the “Limited Guaranty”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Existing Loan Agreement.

Borrower, Borrower Representative, Pledgor, Guarantor, Lenders and Administrative Agent have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment, that the Existing Loan Agreement be amended to reflect certain agreed upon revisions to the terms of the Existing Loan Agreement.


Accordingly, Borrower, Borrower Representative, Pledgor, Guarantor, Lenders and Administrative Agent hereby agree, in consideration of the mutual promises and mutual obligations set forth herein, that the Existing Loan Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

SECTION 1. Amendment to Existing Loan Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2 below, Section 1.01 of the Existing Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definition of “Revolving Period” in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

Revolving Period” shall mean the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is the earliest of (i) October 10, 2023 (ii) the date on which any Event of Default occurs, or (iii) the date on which any Early Amortization Event occurs.

SECTION 2. Conditions Precedent. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date hereof, upon the execution and delivery to Administrative Agent and Lenders of this Amendment by Borrower, Borrower Representative, Pledgor, Guarantor, Administrative Agent and Lenders.

SECTION 3. Limited Effect. Except as expressly amended and modified by this Amendment, the Existing Loan Agreement, the Guaranty Agreement and the Limited Guaranty shall continue to be, and shall remain, in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. The parties hereto have entered into this Amendment solely to amend the terms of the Existing Loan Agreement and do not intend this Amendment or the transactions contemplated hereby to be, and this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby shall not be construed to be, a novation of any of the obligations owing by Borrower, Pledgor, Guarantor or any other party under or in connection with the Existing Loan Agreement, the Guaranty Agreement, the Limited Guaranty or any of the other Facility Documents. It is the intention and agreement of each of the parties hereto that (i) the perfection and priority of all security interests securing the payment of the obligations of the parties under the Existing Loan Agreement, the Guaranty Agreement and the Limited Guaranty are preserved, (ii) the liens and security interests granted under the Existing Loan Agreement continue in full force and effect, and (iii) any reference to the Existing Loan Agreement in any Facility Document shall be deemed to reference the Existing Loan Agreement as amended by this Amendment. The execution of this Amendment by Administrative Agent does not operate as a waiver of any of its rights, powers, or privileges under the Loan Agreement, the Guaranty Agreement, the Limited Guaranty or under any of the other Facility Documents (including, without limitation, any other occurrences under the Loan Agreement that would commence a Default).

SECTION 4. Ratification and Reaffirmation of Guarantees. Pledgor and Guarantor each hereby ratifies and reaffirms the terms and conditions of the Guaranty Agreement and the Limited Guaranty, as applicable. Pledgor’s and Guarantor’s obligations, liabilities, covenants, and guaranties pursuant to the Guaranty Agreement and the Limited Guaranty, whether for payment, performance, or otherwise, are now and shall remain valid and binding obligations of Pledgor and Guarantor, as applicable, and both before and after giving effect to the Amendment, will remain, now and hereafter, in full force and effect, unmodified and enforceable against Pledgor and Guarantor in accordance with their terms. Pledgor and Guarantor each acknowledges and agrees that this ratification and reaffirmation is given to induce Administrative Agent and Lenders to provide their consent to this Amendment. Absent execution and delivery of this Amendment by Pledgor and Guarantor, Administrative Agent would not have provided such consent to this Amendment.
