INCREASE AGREEMENT REGARDING INCREMENTAL REVOLVER

COMMITMENTS AND SECOND AMENDMENT TO

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

THIS INCREASE AGREEMENT REGARDING INCREMENTAL REVOLVER COMMITMENTS AND SECOND AMENDMENT TO SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of September 28, 2021, by and among WELLS FARGO CAPITAL FINANCE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the arranger and administrative agent (the “Agent”) for the Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below), the Lenders party hereto, WABASH NATIONAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Wabash”), certain Subsidiaries of Wabash designated on the signature pages hereto as borrowers (together with Wabash, such Subsidiaries are collectively referred as the “Borrowers”) and certain Subsidiaries of Wabash designated on the signature pages hereto as guarantors. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the definitions provided therefor in the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined).

WHEREAS, Borrowers, Agent, and Lenders are parties to that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 21, 2018 (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, Borrowers have requested, pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Credit Agreement, that certain Lenders party hereto (each an “Increasing Lender” and collectively, the “Increasing Lenders”) increase their Revolver Commitments under Section 2.2 of the Credit Agreement in an aggregate amount equal to $50,000,000 (the “Incremental Revolver Commitments”);

WHEREAS, the Increasing Lenders have agreed to make the Incremental Revolver Commitments on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, Borrowers have also requested that Agent and Lenders make certain amendments to the Credit Agreement, and Agent and Lenders have agreed to the foregoing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Increase. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to effectiveness set forth in Section 3 below, each Increasing Lender party hereto hereby agrees to increase its Revolver Commitment by the amount set forth beside such Lender’s name under the heading “Incremental Revolver Commitment” on Schedule C-1 hereto, such that after giving effect to such Incremental Revolver Commitments (the aggregate amount of which equals $50,000,000), the Revolver Commitment of each Lender shall be as set forth beside such Lender’s name under the heading “Total Commitment” on Schedule C-1 hereto. The Incremental Revolver Commitments and any amounts borrowed in respect of the Incremental Revolver Commitments (“Incremental Advances”) shall constitute Revolver Commitments and Advances under the Credit Agreement, respectively, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from any

 


guarantees and the security interests created by the Loan Documents. Borrowers shall take any actions reasonably required by Agent to ensure and demonstrate that the Liens granted by the Loan Documents continue to be perfected under the Code or otherwise upon giving effect to the Incremental Revolver Commitments, the Incremental Advances and the Maximum Revolver Amount set forth herein. The interest margins for the Incremental Advances shall be the same as the interest margins for the Advances under the Credit Agreement. The outstanding unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Incremental Advances shall be due and payable on the earlier of (a) the Maturity Date (subject to extension in accordance with Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement), and (b) the date of the acceleration of the Advances in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the increase to the Revolver Commitments contemplated by this Section 1 shall constitute a Revolver Increase under Section 2.2 of the Credit Agreement.

2. Amendments. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to effectiveness set forth in Section 3 below, the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(a) A new Section 1.8 is hereby added to the Credit Agreement in appropriate numerical order as follows:

1.8. Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Stock at such time.

(b) The second sentence of Section 5.11 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety.

(c) Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the following new sentence immediately before the last sentence thereof:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including Section 5.11 hereof and this Section 5.12) or in any other Loan Document, Agent shall not accept delivery of any joinder to any Loan Document with respect to any Subsidiary of any Loan Party that is not a Loan Party, if such Subsidiary that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation unless such Subsidiary has delivered a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to such Subsidiary and Agent has completed its Patriot Act searches, OFAC/PEP searches and customary individual background checks for such Subsidiary, the results of which shall be satisfactory to Agent in its Permitted Discretion.

(d) New Sections 17.17 and 17.18 are hereby added to the Credit Agreement in appropriate numerical order as follows:

17.17. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States). In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

17.18. Erroneous Payments.

(a) Each Lender, each Issuing Lender, each Bank Product Provider and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error) such Lender or Issuing Lender or Bank Product Provider (or the Lender which is an Affiliate of a Lender, Issuing Lender or Bank Product Provider) or other Person that has received funds from Agent or any of its Affiliates, either for its own account or on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Lender or Bank Product Provider (each such recipient, a “Payment Recipient”), that Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously

 

-3-


transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any payment from Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 17.18(a), whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”), then, in each case, such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; provided that nothing in this Section shall require Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above. Each Payment Recipient agrees that it shall not assert any right or claim to any Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(b) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient agrees that, in the case of clause (a)(ii) above, it shall promptly notify Agent in writing of such occurrence.

(c) In the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of Agent, and upon demand from Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or shall cause any Person who received any portion of an Erroneous Payment on its behalf to) promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds and in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by Agent in accordance with the immediately preceding clause (c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient or an Affiliate of a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), then at the sole discretion of Agent and upon Agent’s written notice to such Lender, such Lender

 

-4-


shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of the full face amount of the portion of its Advances (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Loans”) to Agent or, at the option of Agent, Agent’s applicable lending affiliate (such assignee, the “Agent Assignee”) in an amount that is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Loans, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by Agent Assignee as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. Without limitation of its rights hereunder, following the effectiveness of the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, Agent may make a cashless reassignment to the applicable assigning Lender of any Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment at any time by written notice to the applicable assigning Lender and upon such reassignment all of the Advances assigned pursuant to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment shall be reassigned to such Lender without any requirement for payment or other consideration. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (1) any assignment contemplated in this clause (d) shall be made without any requirement for any payment or other consideration paid by the applicable assignee or received by the assignor, (2) the provisions of this clause (d) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Section 13 and (3) Agent may reflect such assignments in the Register without further consent or action by any other Person.

(e) Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, Agent (1) shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount and (2) is authorized to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to Agent under this Section 17.18 or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any Obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by Agent from the Borrowers or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making a payment on the Obligations and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never occurred.

 

-5-


(f) Each party’s obligations under this Section 17.18 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

(g) The provisions of this Section 17.18 to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) nothing in this Section 17.18 will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from any Payment Recipient’s receipt of an Erroneous Payment, (ii) there will only be deemed to be a recovery of the Erroneous Payment to the extent that Agent has received payment thereof from the Payment Recipient in immediately available funds, whether directly from the Payment Recipient, as a result of the exercise by Agent of its rights of subrogation or setoff as set forth above in clause (e) or as a result of the receipt by Agent Assignee of a payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Advances assigned to Agent Assignee pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, but excluding any other amounts in respect thereof (it being agreed that any payments of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts (other than principal) received by Agent Assignee in respect of the Advances assigned to Agent Assignee pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment shall be the sole property of Agent Assignee and shall not constitute a recovery of the Erroneous Payment), and (iii) no Borrower shall be deemed to be a Payment Recipient under this Section 17.18 in respect of the proceeds of any Advance funded in accordance with Section 2.3 of this Agreement.

(e) The definition of Maximum Revolver Amount set forth on Schedule 1.1 to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
