    It is hereby agreed that (i) Truist Bank (or its affiliates or subsidiaries) will act as the sole administrative agent and sole collateral agent for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (in such capacities, the “Administrative Agent”) and (ii) Truist Securities has provided structuring advice for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and shall serve as the sole arranger (the “Arranger”).

D.    No Syndication; Clear Markets; Information Requirements and Projections.

1.No Syndication. It is understood and agreed that no syndication shall be required in connection with the contemplated Senior Secured Credit Facilities on (or prior to) the Closing Date in connection with the Acquisition or immediately thereafter. Neither the Companies nor any parties acting on their behalf will, directly or indirectly (except through the Arranger), offer or sell, or solicit any offer to buy, any portion of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, and neither the Companies nor any parties acting on their behalf has previously done any of the foregoing (other than to arrange this Commitment Letter).

3.Information and Projections. You hereby represent and warrant that (to your knowledge with respect to information provided by or relating to the Target Group prior to date of the initial

borrowing under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the “Closing Date”) (a) all information (other than estimates, budgets, forecasts, pro forma data, financial projections and other forward-looking financial information concerning the Borrowers and their subsidiaries (including, without limitation, the Target Group) (collectively, the “Projections”)) that has been or will be made available to Truist, directly or indirectly, by you, or by any of your respective representatives on your behalf, in connection with the consummation of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the Acquisition and the other Transactions (the “Information”), when furnished is or, in the case of any such Information made available after the date hereof, will be correct in all material respects and does not or, in the case of any such Information made available after the date hereof, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading and (b) the Projections of the Borrowers and their subsidiaries (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Target Group) for the applicable fiscal years during the term of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities that have been or will be made available in writing to Truist or any of the Lenders by or on behalf of the Borrowers in connection with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the related transactions will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that are believed by you (or, if different, the preparer thereof) to be reasonable at the time such Projections are prepared and at the time such Projections are so furnished (it being understood that such Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond your control and no assurances can be given that such Projections will actually be realized). You agree that, if at any time prior to the Closing Date, you become aware that any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect (to your knowledge with respect to information provided by or relating to the Target Group prior to the Closing Date) if such Information and the Projections were being furnished, and such representations and warranties were being made, at such time, then you will (and with respect to such Information and Projections relating to the Target Group or their respective operations or assets, you will use your commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Target Group to) promptly supplement and/or update such Information and Projections such that such representations and warranties would be correct in all material respects. In issuing the Commitment hereunder, Truist is entitled to use and rely on the Information and the Projections without responsibility for independent verification thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter, none of the compliance with the covenant in paragraph D.(1) and (2), the accuracy of any representation or warranty under this paragraph D.(3), the provision of any supplement or update thereto, or the accuracy of any such representation or warranty after giving effect thereto shall constitute a condition precedent to the initial funding of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (unless the inaccuracy of any such representation results in a Funding Condition hereunder not being satisfied).

E.    Fees; Expenses; Indemnification.

1.Fees. The Companies will pay (or cause to be paid) the fees set forth in that certain letter agreement dated as of the date hereof, executed by Truist and acknowledged and agreed to by the Companies relating to this Commitment Letter (the “Fee Letter”).

    The Term Loan will amortize in equal quarterly installments, commencing with the first full fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date, in an aggregate annual amount equal to 2.5% per annum of the original principal amount of the Term Loan, with the remaining principal balance of the Term Loan to be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.

Pricing/Fees/Expenses:    As set forth in the Fee Letter and Addendum I attached hereto.

Optional Prepayments
and Revolver Reductions:    Prepayments may be made, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of the Lenders’ breakage and redeployment costs in applicable cases.

The unutilized portion of the Revolver may be irrevocably reduced or terminated by the Borrowers at any time without penalty.

Mandatory Prepayments:    The Borrowers shall be required to prepay the Loans (in each case, subject to customary minimum thresholds, exceptions and exclusions set forth in the Financing Documentation) from the following:

(b) 100% of the net cash proceeds from indemnity payments resulting from the Acquisition; and

(c) 100% of net cash proceeds from the issuance of unpermitted debt by any Borrower or any of their subsidiaries.

All such mandatory prepayments shall be applied to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, first to the Term Loan (pro rata across all installments thereof, including the bullet, and pro rata among the Term Lenders) until paid in full, second to the Swingline Loans, third to the principal balance of the Revolver (without permanent reduction of the commitments thereunder), fourth to interest and fees and fifth to cash collateralize Letters of Credit.

    On a post-closing basis within a time period to be agreed, the Borrower Representative shall (or shall cause the applicable Loan Party or entity to) grant a collateral assignment of the representation and warranty insurance policy related to the Acquisition to the Administrative Agent and security documents governed by laws outside of the United States shall be delivered (to the extent not delivered on the Closing Date).

Incremental Facility:    The Borrowers shall have the right to increase the commitments to the Revolver (the “Incremental Revolving Facility”) and/or the Term Loan (the “Incremental Term Loans”) in an aggregate amount not to exceed the sum (such sum, the “Available Incremental Amount”) of (x) the greater of $40,000,000 and 100% of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in Addendum II) for the most recently ended period of four consecutive fiscal quarters for which financial statements have been delivered, plus (y) an unlimited amount (each, an “Incremental Facility”); provided that, recomputed as of the end of the most recently ended period of four consecutive fiscal quarters for which financial statements have been delivered, when calculated on a pro forma basis immediately after giving effect to any Incremental Facility established in reliance on this clause (y) (assuming the full amount of such Incremental Facility is fully drawn and excluding the proceeds of such Incremental Facility from the cash netting in the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, as defined in Addendum II), the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio would not exceed 3.50:1.00, at any time before the final maturity date of the relevant facility, provided further that (i) any new lenders are approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), (ii) no commitment of any Lender shall be increased without the consent of such Lender, (iii) all Conditions to all Credit Extensions set forth below would be satisfied, (iv) the Borrowers will be in pro forma compliance with all financial covenants, (v) the final maturity date and the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Term Loan shall be no earlier than the final maturity date and the weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loan and (vi) the terms of any Incremental Revolving Facility shall be identical to the existing Revolver (other than
LEGAL02/45482406v14


for the amount of the facility and upfront fees) and shall become part of and fungible with the existing Revolver to form a single Revolver. Each Incremental Facility shall become part of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities; to the extent that the effective yield on any Incremental Term Loan (as determined by the Administrative Agent) exceeds by more than 0.50% per annum (the amount of such excess above 0.50% per annum being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”) the effective yield on the outstanding Term Loan (as determined by the Administrative Agent), then the Applicable Margin for such Term Loan shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of such Incremental Term Loans. Each Incremental Facility will rank pari passu in right of payment and be secured on a pari passu basis with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. No Lender shall be under any obligation to provide any commitment to, or otherwise participate in, any Incremental Facility and any such decision whether to provide a commitment to, or participate in, an Incremental Facility shall be in such Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.
