WHEREAS, the Obligors have requested that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to extend the stated Expiration Date to March 2, 2028, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are willing to do so, all subject to the terms and conditions contained herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.Definitions; Loan Document. Capitalized terms used herein without definitions shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Amended Credit Agreement. This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document for all purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. On and after the Effective Date (defined below), each reference in any Loan Document (other than this Amendment) to the Credit Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Amended Credit Agreement.
2.Extension of Expiration Date. Upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, the definition of Expiration Date in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety with the following:
“Expiration Date” means, initially, March 2, 2028, provided that the initial Expiration Date may be extended at the Borrower’s request to March 2, 2029 if (a) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders consent to such extension, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, and (b) as of March 2, 2028, no Event of Default shall exist, and no event or condition that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred and be continuing.
3.Extension Fee. In consideration of the extension of the Expiration Date in Section 2 above, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, an extension fee in the amount of $150,000.00, which shall be deemed fully earned and nonrefundable on the Effective Date.
4.Conditions to Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective (the date of such effectiveness being the “Effective Date”) upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) this Amendment, duly executed and delivered by each of the Obligors, and the other agreements, certificates and other documents set forth on the closing checklist attached hereto as Exhibit A, and (b) the extension fee described in Section 3 hereof and all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with this Amendment.
5.Representations and Warranties. To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Amendment, each of the Obligors represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that as of the date hereof each of the following statements are true and correct:

(c)No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person (other than those that have been duly obtained or made and which are in full force and effect) is required for the due execution or delivery by the Obligors of this Amendment, or performance by any Obligor of its obligations under this Amendment and each other Loan Document to which it is a party as amended hereby.
