RECITALS:

 

A.    Borrower, and Truist Bank in its capacities as the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender, and as a Lender, previously entered into that certain Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated October 6, 2023 (the “Credit Agreement”).

B.    Borrower has requested that Administrative Agent modify certain terms pertaining to the indebtedness underlying the Credit Agreement.

 

C.    The Administrative Agent is willing to enter into the requested modifications, on the terms set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree as follows:

 

1.    Section 7.5 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to provide as follows:

 

Section 7.5. Restricted Payments. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, declare or make, or agree to pay or make, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Payment, except:

 

(a)    dividends payable by the Borrower solely in interests of any class of its common equity;

 

(b)    Restricted Payments made by any Subsidiary to the Borrower or to another Subsidiary, on at least a pro rata basis with any other shareholders if such Subsidiary is not wholly owned by the Borrower and other wholly owned Subsidiaries of the Borrower;

 

(c)    Restricted Payments, which, after giving effect thereto, do not increase the Borrower’s pro forma Leverage Ratio above 1.50:1.00, provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time such Restricted Payment is paid or would occur as a result of such payment;

 

(d)    any stock repurchases made by Borrower pursuant to the share repurchase program of Borrower disclosed on September 13, 2023, authorizing the repurchase of up to $10,000,000.00 of Borrower’s common stock (as such program may be amended or extended from time to time), but only to the extent that stock repurchases under such program do not exceed $10,000,000.00;

 

(e) Restricted Payments disclosed on Schedule II hereto; and

 

(f) other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not exceeding $50,000,000.00, provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time such Restricted Payment is paid or would occur as the result of such payment;

 

2.    A new Schedule II is hereby added to the Credit Agreement, as set forth in the exhibit attached hereto.

 

3.    The Credit Agreement is not amended in any other respect.

 

4.    Nothing contained herein shall be construed as a waiver or release of any term or obligation of Borrower or any other party under the Credit Agreement.

 

5.    This Amendment is intended to be performed in accordance with and to the extent permitted by all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. If any provision of this Amendment, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Amendment and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances, shall not be affected thereby but rather shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. This Amendment may be executed in more than one counterpart, all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. The executed Amendment may be sent via e-mail, via PDF or via facsimile. Facsimile or electronic signatures shall be deemed valid and binding to the same extent as an original signature.

 

6.    The Borrower reaffirms all of its obligations under the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, and under all of the other Loan Documents. The Borrower agrees that its obligations thereunder are its true and lawful obligations, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to no defense, counterclaim, or objection.
