Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 13, 2024, Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc. (“HBB”), as borrower, entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as lender. The Credit Agreement amends and restates HBB’s existing Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2012, as amended, among HBB, certain subsidiaries of HBB from time to time party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Wells Fargo, as administrative agent.

The Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $125,000,000 and includes a $5,000,000 subfacility for the issuance of letters of credit. The obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of HBB. Interest on outstanding loans under the Revolving Credit Facility accrues at a per annum rate equal to, at HBB’s option, either Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.65% or the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.00%.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and covenants, including, among other things, covenants applicable to HBB and its subsidiaries limiting indebtedness, liens, investments, dispositions and restricted payments. Additionally, if Excess Availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is less than $15,000,000 at any time, the Credit Agreement will require that HBB maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 1.00 to 1.00 until Excess Availability is greater than or equal to $15,000,000 for 30 consecutive days.

The Revolving Credit Facility matures on the earlier of December 13, 2029, the date of acceleration pursuant to its terms, or the date the commitments thereunder are terminated pursuant to the terms thereof.

A copy of the Credit Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01. The foregoing summary of the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement.

(and, if any such announced rate is less than the Floor, then the rate determined pursuant to this clause (c) shall be deemed to be the Floor).

“Base Rate Loan” means each portion of the Revolving Loans that bears interest at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate.

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earlier to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

For the avoidance of doubt, if the applicable then-current Benchmark has any Available Tenors, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (a) or (b) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

(a)a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors (if applicable) of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor (if applicable) of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

(b)a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Board of Governors, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors (if applicable) of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor (if applicable) of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(c)a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors (if applicable) of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the applicable then-current Benchmark has any Available Tenors, a Benchmark Transition Event will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the then-current Benchmark and solely to the extent that the Benchmark has not been replaced with a Benchmark Replacement, the period (a) beginning at the time that such Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the Benchmark for all purposes hereunder in accordance with Section 2.7 and (b) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the Benchmark for all purposes hereunder pursuant to Section 2.7.

1.2Accounting Terms. All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP; provided, that, if Parent notifies Lender requesting an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any Accounting Changes occurring after the Closing Date or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if Lender requests an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such Accounting Change or in the application thereof, then Lender and Parent agree that they will negotiate in good faith amendments to the provisions of this Agreement that are directly affected by such Accounting Change with the intent of having the respective positions of Lender and Parent after such change conform as nearly as possible to their respective positions immediately before such Accounting Change took effect and, until any such amendments have been agreed upon and agreed to by Lender, the provisions in this Agreement shall be calculated as if no such Accounting Change had occurred. When used herein, the term “financial statements” shall include the notes and schedules thereto. Whenever the term “Parent” is used in respect of a financial covenant or a related definition, it shall be

understood to mean Parent and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, unless the context clearly requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (a) all financial statements delivered hereunder shall be prepared, and all financial covenants contained herein shall be calculated, without giving effect to any election under the Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, formerly known as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (or any similar accounting principle) permitting a Person to value its financial liabilities or Indebtedness at the fair value thereof, and (b) the term “unqualified opinion” as used herein to refer to opinions or reports provided by accountants shall mean an opinion or report that is (i) unqualified, and (ii) does not include any explanation, supplemental comment, or other comment concerning the ability of the applicable Person to continue as a going concern or concerning the scope of the audit (except, in each case, other than as may be required as a result of (x) an actual or prospective default or event of default with respect to any financial covenant (including the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.1), or (y) the impending maturity of any Indebtedness).

1.3UCC Terms. Any terms used in this Agreement that are defined in the UCC shall be construed and defined as set forth in the UCC unless otherwise defined herein; provided, that, to the extent that the UCC is used to define any term herein and such term is defined differently in different Articles of the UCC, the definition of such term contained in Article 9 of the UCC shall govern.

1.4Construction. Unless the context of this Agreement or any other Loan Document clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the singular include the plural, the terms “includes” and “including” are not limiting, and the term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.” The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this Agreement or any other Loan Document refer to this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be, as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be. Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references herein are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any reference in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document to any agreement, instrument, or document shall include all alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable (subject to any restrictions on such alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements set forth herein). The words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all

tangible and intangible assets and properties. Any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns. In connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (i) 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 (ii) 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 Equity Interests at such time. Any reference in any Loan Document to a merger, transfer, consolidation, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or similar term, shall be deemed to apply to a division of or by a limited liability company, or an allocation of assets to a series of a limited liability company (or the unwinding of such a division or allocation), as if it were a merger, transfer, consolidation, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or similar term, as applicable, to, of or with a separate Person. To the extent any document, instrument or agreement (including any Qualified Debt Document and any Qualified Debt Intercreditor Agreement) relating to or the terms or conditions of any Qualified Debt is subject to the satisfaction or approval of Lender, the determination by Lender of such satisfaction or approval shall be made in good faith.

1.5Time References. Unless the context of this Agreement or any other Loan Document clearly requires otherwise, all references to time of day refer to New York City time, as in effect in New York City on such day. For purposes of the computation of a period of time from a specified date to a later specified date, unless otherwise expressly provided, the word “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” each means “to and including”; provided, that, with respect to a computation of fees or interest payable to Lender, such period shall in any event consist of at least one full day.

1.6Payment in Full. Any reference in any Loan Document to the satisfaction, repayment, or payment in full of the Obligations shall mean (a) the payment in full in cash of the principal and accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Revolving Loans, (b) the payment in full in cash of all fees, charges and expenses that have accrued and are unpaid regardless of whether payment has been demanded or is otherwise due, (c) the delivery to Lender of cash collateral (or, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) below, to the extent requested by Parent and consented to by Lender in its sole discretion, a letter of credit payable to Lender issued by a bank acceptable to Lender and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender), in either case in respect of (i) 103% of the then existing Letter of Credit Usage, (ii) contingent Obligations for which a claim or demand for payment has been made at such time or in respect of matters or circumstances known to Lender at the time, and which are reasonably expected to result in any loss, cost, damage or expense (including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) to Lender for which Lender would be entitled to indemnification by a Loan Party hereunder and (iii) an amount determined by Lender equal to the reasonably estimated credit exposure, operational risk or processing risk with respect to the then existing Bank Product Obligations, and (d) the termination of the Commitment and the financing arrangements provided by Lender to each Borrower hereunder.

1.7Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by a Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

1.8Resolution of Drafting Ambiguities. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it was represented by counsel in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, that it and its counsel reviewed and participated in the preparation and negotiation of the Loan Documents and that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against Lender as the drafting party shall not be applicable in the interpretation of the Loan Documents.

1.9Rates. Lender does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or with respect to any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any then-current Benchmark or any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement), as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.7, will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. Lender and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto and such transactions may be adverse to a Borrower. Lender may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, or any other Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to any Borrower or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

2.CREDIT FACILITY

2.1Revolving Loans.

(a)Subject to, and upon the terms and conditions contained herein, on and after the Closing Date until the Termination Date, Lender agrees to make Revolving Loans to a Borrower from time to time in amounts requested by or on behalf of such Borrower, provided, that, after giving effect to any such Revolving Loan, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding plus the Letter of Credit Usage shall not exceed the Line Cap.

(b)Anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1 notwithstanding, Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation), in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion, to establish, increase, decrease, reduce, eliminate, or otherwise adjust (without duplication) Reserves against the Borrowing Base or the Maximum Credit. To the extent that an event, condition or matter as to any Eligible Accounts, Eligible Inventory or Eligible In-Transit Inventory is addressed pursuant to the treatment thereof within the applicable definition of such terms, Lender shall not also establish a reserve to address the same event, condition or matter. The amount of any Reserve established by Lender shall have a reasonable relationship to the event, condition, other circumstance, or fact that is the basis for such Reserve and shall not be duplicative of any other Reserve established and currently maintained. Lender will provide notice to Parent three (3) Business Days prior to the establishment of or increase or decrease in Reserves, except that, Lender shall have the right to establish or increase a Reserve without such notice to Parent in response to the occurrence of an Event of Default and shall provide notice thereof to Parent as soon as practicable thereafter. Upon establishment or increase in Reserve, Lender agrees to make itself available to discuss the Reserve or increase, and Borrowers may take such action as may be required so that the event, condition, circumstance, or fact that is the basis for such Reserve or increase no longer exists, in a manner and to the extent reasonably satisfactory to Lender in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion. In no event shall such opportunity limit the right of Lender to establish or change such Reserves, unless Lender shall have determined, in its Permitted Discretion, that the event, condition, other circumstance, or fact that was the basis for such Reserves or such change no longer exists or has otherwise been adequately addressed by Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in herein, Lender will not implement a landlord or other similar Reserve with respect to Inventory located at the Specified Location prior to the date that is 90 days after the Closing Date.

2.2Borrowing Procedures.

(a)Each Revolving Loan shall be made by a written request by or on behalf of a Borrower delivered to Lender (which may be delivered through Lender’s electronic platform or portal) and received by Lender no later than 12:00 p.m. on the Business Day that is the requested funding date in the case of a request for a Base Rate Loan or 12:00 p.m. on the U.S. Government Securities Business Day that is three U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the requested funding date in the case of a request for a SOFR Loan, specifying (i) the amount of such Revolving Loan, (ii) the date of such Revolving Loan, which shall be a Business Day, (iii) whether such Revolving Loan will be a Base Rate Loan or a SOFR Loan, and (iv) in the case of a request for a SOFR Loan, the length of the requested Interest Period; provided, that, Lender may, in its discretion, elect to accept as timely requests that are received later than 12:00 p.m. on the applicable Business Day or U.S. Government Securities Business Day, as applicable, subject to Section 2.2(c). All borrowing requests which are not made on-line via Lender’s electronic platform or portal or pursuant to the Loan Manager Service shall be subject to (and unless Lender elects otherwise in its discretion, such Revolving Loans shall not be made until the completion of) Lender’s authentication process (with results satisfactory to Lender) prior to the funding of any such requested Revolving Loan.

(b)All Revolving Loans shall be conclusively presumed to have been made to, and at the request of and for the benefit of, a Borrower when deposited to the credit of a Borrower or otherwise disbursed or established in accordance with the instructions of a Borrower to the deposit account specified to Lender for such purpose (which shall be at a bank acceptable to Lender) or in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(c)If Lender has separately agreed that a Borrower may use the Loan Manager Service, Revolving Loans (i) will be made solely by the Loan Manager Service, and (ii) will be initiated by Lender and credited to a Borrower’s operating account maintained with Lender as Revolving Loans as of the end of each Business Day in an amount sufficient to maintain an agreed upon ledger balance in such Borrower’s operating account maintained with Lender, subject to Excess Availability. Lender may terminate a Borrower’s access to the Loan Manager Service at any time in its discretion. If Lender terminates a Borrower’s access to the Loan Manager Service, each Borrower may continue to request Revolving Loans as provided herein so long as no Event of Default exists. Lender will have no obligation to make a Revolving Loan through the Loan Manager Service if the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 are not satisfied.

2.3Letter of Credit Facility. As a subfacility under the Credit Facility, subject to, and upon the terms and conditions contained herein, on and after the Closing Date until the Termination Date, Lender agrees to issue or cause an Affiliate to issue standby letters of credit or sight commercial letters of credit for the account of a Borrower for purposes acceptable to Lender (each a “Letter of Credit” and collectively, “Letters of Credit”); provided, that, (a) the aggregate Letter of Credit Usage will not at any time exceed $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed to by Lender in writing in its sole discretion) and (b) as of the date of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, and after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loans and the Letter of Credit Usage will not exceed the Line Cap. The form and substance of each Letter of Credit will be subject to approval by Lender and each Borrower shall execute and deliver such additional letter of credit agreements, applications and other documents required by Lender as a condition to the issuance, amendment, extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit. Each Letter of Credit will be issued for a term not to exceed 365 days, as designated by a Borrower; provided, that, no Letter of Credit will have an expiration date after the Maturity Date. Each Letter of Credit will be issued under, and subject to, the additional terms and conditions of the letter of credit agreements, applications and any related documents required by Lender. Each drawing paid under a Letter of Credit will be deemed a Revolving Loan and will be repaid by Borrowers in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to Revolving Loans; provided, that, if Revolving Loans are not available for any reason at the time any drawing is paid by Lender, then Borrowers will immediately pay to Lender the full amount drawn, together with interest on such amount from the date such drawing is paid to the date such amount is fully repaid by Borrowers, at the rate of interest then applicable to Revolving Loans. In such event Borrowers agree that Lender may charge the Loan Account or debit any deposit account maintained by any Loan Party for the amount of any such drawing.

2.4Payments; Prepayments.

(a)Payments by Borrowers. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by a Borrower shall be made to the Lender Payment Account or such other place as Lender may designate in writing to a Borrower from time to time and shall be made in immediately available funds, no later than 1:30 p.m. on the date specified herein. Any payment received by Lender later than 1:30 p.m. shall be deemed to have been received (unless Lender, in its discretion, elects to credit it on the date received) on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such following Business Day. All payments of Obligations shall be made in Dollars, without offset, counterclaim or defense of any kind, free and clear of (and without deduction for) any Taxes (unless any deduction or withholding of Taxes is required under applicable law), levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto. If any Taxes are so required to be withheld or deducted under applicable law, Loan Parties agree to withhold and deduct such Taxes and pay the full amount of such Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority and, to the extent such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, Loan Parties agree to pay such additional amounts to Lender as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement, any note or any other Loan Document, including any amount paid pursuant to this Section 2.4 after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will be equal to the amount provided for herein. No Loan Party will fund any repayment of the Credit Facility with proceeds, or provide as Collateral any property, that is directly or indirectly derived from any transaction or activity that is prohibited by Sanctions, Anti-Money Laundering Laws or Anti-Corruption Laws, or that would otherwise cause Lender or any other party to any Loan Document to be in breach of Sanctions, Anti-Money Laundering Laws or Anti-Corruption Laws.

(b)Application of Payments. Subject to the other terms and conditions contained herein, Lender shall apply payments received or collected from a Borrower or for the account of a Borrower (including the monetary proceeds of collections or of realization upon any Collateral) as follows, so long as no Event of Default exists: first, to the payment in full of any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to Lender; second, to the payment in full of interest due in respect of any Revolving Loans; third, to the payment in full of principal in respect of the Revolving Loans, whether or not then due; fourth, at any time an Event of Default (or an event which with notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default) exists, as cash collateral in an amount up to 103% of the Letter of Credit Usage; and fifth, to pay or prepay any other Obligations (including Bank Product Obligations consisting of supply chain financing arrangements), whether or not then due, in such order and manner as Lender directs. Such payments shall be applied as Lender determines at any time an Event of Default exists, including to be used as cash collateral in respect of Obligations related to Letters of Credit (in an amount up to 103% of the Letter of Credit Usage) or such other Obligations as Lender may determine, on such terms as Lender may require.

(c)Optional Prepayments. Each Borrower may prepay the principal of any Revolving Loan at any time in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except for any indemnification obligations payable with respect to any Funding Losses).

(d)Mandatory Prepayments. If, at any time, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding plus the Letter of Credit Usage exceeds the Line Cap, then a Borrower shall promptly, but in any event, within one Business Day prepay the Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such excess (or after the prepayment of all Revolving Loans, upon Lender’s demand, immediately provide cash collateral up to 103% of the Letter of Credit Usage as required to address such excess, even if amounts greater than such excess are required as a result of the amount of any Letters of Credit then outstanding).

(e)Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Obligations. Lender shall maintain an account on its books in the name of each Borrower (the “Loan Account”) evidencing the Obligations, including Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit, interest, fees and Lender Expenses. Any such records shall be presumptively correct, absent manifest error, provided, that, the failure to make any such entry or the existence of any error in such records, shall not affect any of the Obligations. Lender shall make available to a Borrower monthly statements regarding the Loan Account, including the principal amount of the Revolving Loans, interest, fees and Lender Expenses. Each such statement, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between each Borrower and Lender unless, within 30 days after Lender first makes such a statement available to a Borrower, such Borrower shall deliver to Lender written objection thereto describing any error contained in such statement.

(f)Evidence of Debt. Lender may request that Revolving Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, each Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a promissory note payable to the order of Lender (or, if requested by Lender, to Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by Lender. Thereafter, the Revolving Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

(g)Charges to Loan Account. At the election of Lender, all payments of principal, interest, fees, expenses and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents may be paid from the proceeds of Revolving Loans made hereunder whether made following a request by a Borrower or a request as provided in this Section or, at any time that a Cash Dominion Event exists, may be deducted from any deposit account of any Borrower maintained with Lender. Each Borrower hereby requests that Lender, and Lender is hereby authorized to (at its election), (i) make Revolving Loans for the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest, fees, expenses and other amounts as it becomes due under any Loan Document and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Revolving Loans, (ii) make a Revolving Loan to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, and (iii) at any time that a Cash Dominion Event exists, charge any deposit account of any Borrower maintained with Lender for each payment of principal, interest, fees, expenses and other amounts due under any Loan Document.

(h)Repayment on Termination Date. Each Borrower shall make payment in full of the Obligations on the Maturity Date or if earlier, any other Termination Date.

(i)Indemnity for Returned Payments. If after any payment, or proceeds of Collateral, are applied to the payment of any of the Obligations, Lender is required to surrender or return such payment or proceeds to any Person for any reason, then the Obligations intended to be satisfied by such payment or proceeds shall be reinstated and continue and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender. Each Loan Party shall be liable to pay to Lender, and does hereby agree to indemnify and hold Lender harmless for, the amount of any payments or proceeds surrendered or returned. This Section shall remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by Lender in reliance upon such payment or proceeds. This Section shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(j)Crediting Payments. The receipt of any payment item by Lender shall not be required to be considered a payment on account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available funds made to the Lender Payment Account or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for payment. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then a Loan Party shall be deemed not to have made such payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any payment item shall be deemed received by Lender only if it is received into the Lender Payment Account on a Business Day on or before 1:30 p.m. If any payment item is received into the Lender Payment Account on a non-Business Day or after 1:30 p.m. on a Business Day (unless Lender, in its discretion, elects to credit it on the date received), it shall be deemed to have been received by Lender as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day.

2.5Interest and Fees.

(a)Rates and Payment of Interest.

(i)Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.5(a)(iii), Section 2.7 and Section 2.12, all Obligations (except for the undrawn amount of any issued and outstanding Letters of Credit) shall bear interest as follows:

(A)if the relevant Obligation is a SOFR Loan, at a per annum rate equal to Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin for SOFR Loans, and

(B)otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans.

(ii)Interest shall accrue from the date a Revolving Loan is made or Obligation is incurred or payable, as the case may be, until paid in full by a Borrower. Except to the extent provided to the contrary in Section 2.12, interest accrued on Revolving Loans shall be due and payable in arrears, on the first day of each calendar month, and in each case, in any event on the Termination Date. Interest accrued on any other Obligations shall be due and payable as provided in the Loan Documents and, if no payment date is specified, shall be due and payable on earlier of the first day of the calendar month after incurred or demand or the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable on demand. All amounts (including interest, fees, costs, expenses, Lender

Expenses, or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and including all Bank Product Obligations) charged to the Loan Account shall thereupon constitute Revolving Loans hereunder, shall constitute Obligations hereunder, and shall initially accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans (unless and until converted into SOFR Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).

(iii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate (whether before or after any judgment) automatically on and after an Event of Default under Section 8.1(d) and upon written notice by Lender to a Borrower on and after any other Event of Default.

(b)Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest and fees calculated on a per annum basis shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed, other than for Base Rate Loans which shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year, as applicable, and actual days elapsed. In the event the Base Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in the Base Rate. Each determination by Lender of any interest, fees or interest rate hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration.

(c)Fees; Expenses. Each Borrower shall pay to Lender the fees and Lender Expenses in the amounts and at the time specified in Schedule 2.5.

2.6Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under any Loan Document, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. If at any time the interest rate set forth in any of the Loan Documents exceeds the maximum interest rate allowable under applicable law, the interest rate will be deemed to be such maximum interest rate allowable under applicable law.

2.7Illegality; Market Conditions; SOFR Replacement.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, subject to the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, if (a) any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for Lender to make or maintain a SOFR Loan (or Base Rate Loans determined with reference to Term SOFR) or to maintain the Commitment with respect to a SOFR Loan (or Base Rate Loans determined with reference to Term SOFR), or to determine or charge interest rates based on Term SOFR or SOFR or (b) Lender determines in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that Term SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof other than as a result of a Benchmark Transition Event, then Lender shall give notice thereof to a Borrower and (y)(i) in the case of any SOFR Loans that are outstanding, such SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted Base Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period of such SOFR Loans, if Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR

Loans, or immediately, if Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans, and thereafter interest upon the SOFR Loans shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans (and if applicable, without reference to the Term SOFR component thereof) and (ii) in the case of any such Base Rate Loans that are outstanding and that are determined with reference to Term SOFR, interest upon the Base Rate Loans after the date specified in Lender’s notice shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans without reference to the Term SOFR component thereof and (z) Borrowers shall not be entitled to elect the SOFR Option and Base Rate Loans shall not be determined with reference to the Term SOFR component thereof, in each case, until Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so.

(b)SOFR Replacement.

(i)Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Lender (in consultation with Parent) may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after Lender has provided such amendment to Parent without any further action or consent of any Loan Party.

(ii)Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Lender will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any Loan Party.

(iii)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Lender will promptly notify Parent of (a) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (b) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of any Conforming Changes. Lender will notify Parent of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.7(iv) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.7, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in Lender’s sole discretion and without consent from any Loan Party, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.7.

(iv)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (a) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (x) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by Lender in its reasonable discretion or (y) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information

announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then Lender may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (b) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (a) above either (x) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (y) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then Lender may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(v)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon Parent’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, Lender may (a) declare that SOFR Loans will not thereafter be made by Lender, such that any request for a SOFR Loan from Lender shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan and (b) require that all outstanding SOFR Loans made by Lender be converted to Base Rate Loans immediately, in which event all outstanding SOFR Loans shall be so converted and shall bear interest at the Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin. The Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin shall replace the then-current Benchmark for any determination of interest hereunder or under any other Loan Document during a Benchmark Unavailability Period. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

2.8Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall: (a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, Lender; (b) subject Lender to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (i) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (iii) Connection Income Taxes)), levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Loan Document or any SOFR Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender in respect thereof; or (c) impose on Lender any other condition, cost or expense affecting any Loan Document or SOFR Loans, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to Lender of making or maintaining any SOFR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Revolving Loan), or to increase the cost to Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of Lender, each Borrower will pay to Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

2.9Capital Requirements. If Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting Lender or any lending office of Lender or Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital or on

the capital of Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of any Loan Document, the Commitment or the Revolving Loans, to a level below that which Lender or Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Lender’s policies and the policies of Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time each Borrower will pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

2.10Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 2.8 or 2.9 and delivered to any Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Borrower shall pay Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

2.11Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of Lender to demand compensation pursuant to Sections 2.8 or 2.9 shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that a Borrower shall not be required to compensate Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions occurring more than 180 days prior to the date that Lender becomes aware of the event giving rise to Lender’s claim for compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

2.12SOFR Option.

(a)Interest and Interest Payment Dates. In lieu of having interest charged at the rate based upon the Base Rate, Borrowers shall have the option, subject to Section 2.12(b) below (the “SOFR Option”) to have interest on all or a portion of the Revolving Loans be charged (whether at the time when made (unless otherwise provided herein), upon conversion from a Base Rate Loan to a SOFR Loan, or upon continuation of a SOFR Loan as a SOFR Loan) at a rate of interest based upon Term SOFR. Interest on SOFR Loans shall be payable on the earliest of (i) the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the date on which all or any portion of the Obligations are accelerated pursuant to the terms hereof, or (iii) the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. On the last day of each applicable Interest Period, unless Borrowers have properly exercised the SOFR Option with respect thereto, the interest rate applicable to such SOFR Loan automatically shall convert to the rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans of the same type hereunder. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers no longer shall have the option to request that Revolving Loans bear interest at a rate based upon Term SOFR.

(b)SOFR Election.

(i)Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, elect to exercise the SOFR Option by notifying Lender prior to 12:00 p.m. at least three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the commencement of the proposed Interest Period (the “SOFR Deadline”). Notice of Borrowers’ election of the SOFR Option for a permitted portion of the Revolving Loans and an

Interest Period pursuant to this Section shall be made by delivery to Lender of a Borrowing Request received by Lender before the SOFR Deadline.

(ii)Each Borrowing Request for SOFR Loans shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrowers. In connection with each SOFR Loan, each Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Lender harmless against any loss, cost, or expense actually incurred by Lender as a result of (A) the payment or required assignment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (B) the conversion of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (C) the failure to borrow, convert or continue any SOFR Loan on the date specified in any Borrowing Request delivered pursuant hereto (such losses, costs, or expenses, “Funding Losses”).

(iii)A certificate of Lender delivered to Borrowers setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrowers shall pay such amount to Lender within thirty (30) days of the date of its receipt of such certificate. If a payment of a SOFR Loan on a day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period would result in a Funding Loss, Lender may, in its sole discretion at the request of Borrowers, hold the amount of such payment as cash collateral in support of the Obligations until the last day of such Interest Period and apply such amounts to the payment of the applicable SOFR Loan on such last day of such Interest Period, it being agreed that Lender has no obligation to so defer the application of payments to any SOFR Loan and that, in the event that Lender does not defer such application, Borrowers shall be obligated to pay any resulting Funding Losses.

(iv)Unless Lender, in its sole discretion, agrees otherwise, Borrowers shall have not more than ten (10) SOFR Loans in effect at any given time. Borrowers may only exercise the SOFR Option for proposed SOFR Loans of at least $500,000.

(c)Conversion; Prepayment. Borrowers may convert SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans or prepay SOFR Loans at any time; provided, that in the event that SOFR Loans are converted or prepaid on any date that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including as a result of any prepayment through the required application by Lender of any payments or proceeds of Collateral in accordance with this Agreement or for any other reason, including early termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or any portion of the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, each Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Lender harmless against any and all Funding Losses in accordance with Section 2.12(b)(ii).

(d)Special Provisions Applicable to Term SOFR. Term SOFR may be adjusted by Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs (other than taxes), in each case, due to changes in applicable law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, or pursuant to any Change in Law or change in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors, which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding or maintaining loans bearing interest at Term SOFR. In any such event, Lender shall give Borrowers notice of such a determination and adjustment and, upon its receipt of the notice from Lender, Borrowers may, by notice to Lender

(A) require Lender to furnish to Borrowers a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for adjusting Term SOFR and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (B) repay the SOFR Loans or Base Rate Loans determined with reference to Term SOFR, in each case, with respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due under Section 2.12(b)(ii)).

(e)No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Lender, nor any of its participants, is required actually to match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Reference Rate.

(f)Term SOFR Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, Lender will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Lender will promptly notify Parent of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

2.13Reduction of Commitment. Parent may from time to time reduce the Commitment (with a corresponding reduction to the Maximum Credit), without premium or penalty; provided that, after giving effect to such reduction (and any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans), the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding plus the Letter of Credit Usage shall not exceed the Line Cap. Each such reduction (i) shall be in an amount not less than $2,000,000 (unless the Commitment is being reduced to zero and the amount of the Commitment in effect immediately prior to such reduction is less than $2,000,000), (ii) shall be made by providing not less than three (3) Business Days prior written notice to Lender, and (iii) shall be irrevocable.

3.CONDITIONS; TERM OF AGREEMENT

3.1Conditions Precedent to the Initial Revolving Loan. The obligation of Lender to make the initial Revolving Loan or issue the initial Letter of Credit is subject to the satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent set forth on Schedule 3.1.

3.2Conditions Precedent to all Revolving Loans. The obligation of Lender to make any Revolving Loans or issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit at any time shall be subject to the following conditions precedent:

(a)the representations and warranties of each Loan Party contained in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) on and as of the date of such Revolving Loan, as though made on and as of such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (except that such materiality qualifier

shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof));

(b)as of the date of any such Revolving Loan or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit, as applicable, or the use of the proceeds thereof, and after giving effect to any of the foregoing, no Event of Default, or event or condition which with notice, or passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, shall exist;

(c)Lender shall have received a request for such Revolving Loan or such Letter of Credit (or for the amendment, renewal or extension thereof) in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement; and

(d)as of the date of any such Revolving Loan or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit, as applicable, or the use of the proceeds thereof, and after giving effect to any of the foregoing, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans and the Letter of Credit Usage shall not exceed the Line Cap.

Each request for a Revolving Loan or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit delivered by a Borrower shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by each Borrower that the conditions specified in Section 3.2 have been satisfied on and as of the date of the applicable Revolving Loan or issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit and after giving effect thereto. The making of any Revolving Loan or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit shall not be deemed a modification or waiver by Lender of any of the terms of any Loan Document or any Event of Default or event or condition which with notice, or passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default.

3.3Maturity. The Commitment shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on the Maturity Date (unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms hereof).

3.4Effect of Maturity. On the Maturity Date, the Commitment shall automatically terminate and all of the Obligations shall become due and payable without notice or demand and each Borrower shall be required to pay in full all of the Obligations. No termination of the Commitment shall relieve or discharge any Loan Party of its duties, obligations, or covenants under any Loan Document and the Liens of Lender in the Collateral shall continue to secure the Obligations and shall remain in effect until payment in full of all Obligations. When all of the Obligations have been paid in full, Lender will, at Parent’s sole expense, execute and deliver any termination statements, lien releases, discharges of security interests, and other similar discharge or release documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form) as are necessary or reasonably requested by Parent to release, as of record, Lender’s Liens and all notices of security interests and liens previously filed by Lender.

3.5Early Termination by Borrowers. A Borrower has the option, at any time upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Lender, to make payment in full of all of the Obligations; provided, however, that (a) a Borrower may rescind such written notice if it states that the proposed termination is made in connection with the consummation of another

transaction or series of transactions that will result in payment in full of the Obligations and the consummation of such transaction or series of transactions does not occur on or before the date of the proposed termination set forth in such notice (in which case, a new notice shall be required to be sent in connection with any subsequent termination), and (b) for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 3.5 shall effect a termination of any Hedge Agreement, which Hedge Agreements may only be terminated in accordance with their respective terms.

All of such assets are free and clear of Liens except for Permitted Liens.

4.5Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to the knowledge of a Loan Party, threatened in writing against a Loan Party, that (a) relate to any Loan Document or transaction contemplated thereby or (b) either individually or in the aggregate has or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Projections delivered to Lender

pursuant to Section 5.1 represent the good faith estimate of Parent, on the date such Projections are delivered, of the future performance of such Loan Party for the periods covered thereby based upon assumptions believed by Parent to be reasonable at the time of the delivery thereof to Lender (it being understood that such Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Loan Parties, and no assurances can be given that such Projections will be realized, and although representing the good faith estimate of Parent, projections or forecasts based on methods and assumptions which Parent believed to be reasonable at the time such Projections were prepared, are not to be viewed as facts, and that actual results during the period or periods covered by the Projections may differ materially from projected or estimated results).

4.12Margin Stock; Investment Company Act, Etc. No Loan Party is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of the Revolving Loans made to Borrowers will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock or for any purpose that violates the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors. No Loan Party is subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940 or under any other federal or state statute or regulation which may limit its ability to incur Indebtedness or which may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations unenforceable. No Loan Party is a “registered investment company” or a company “controlled” by a “registered investment company” or a “principal underwriter” of a “registered investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

4.19Qualified Debt Obligations. The Credit Facility, and all Obligations and Liens created under the Loan Documents, are permitted under any Qualified Debt Documents, if any.

5.AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

Each Loan Party covenants and agrees that, until termination of all of the Commitment and payment in full of the Obligations, the Loan Parties shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to, comply with each of the following:

5.1Financial Statements; Borrowing Base Certificate; Other Information. The Loan Parties (a) will deliver to Lender each of the financial statements, reports, and other items set forth on Schedule 5.1 no later than the times specified therein, (b) agree that no Subsidiary of a Loan Party will have a fiscal year different from that of Parent (except to the extent permitted under Section 6.8), (c) agree to maintain a system of accounting that enables Parent to produce financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and (d) agree that they will, and will cause each

Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in every instance Parent shall be required to provide paper copies of the Compliance Certificates required by this Section 5.1 to Lender. Each Loan Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts in cooperation with Lender to facilitate and implement a system of electronic collateral reporting in order to provide electronic reporting of each of the items set forth on such Schedule 5.1.

Each Loan Party will maintain and preserve all of its assets that are necessary or useful in the proper conduct of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear, tear, casualty, and condemnation and Permitted Dispositions excepted (and except where the failure to so maintain and preserve assets could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect).

Each Loan Party will from time to time upon Lender’s request furnish to Lender correct and complete copies of any insurance policies and such other information in reasonable detail as to the insurance so maintained as Lender may request.

5.7Field Examinations; Appraisals; Inspections.

(a)Upon the request of Lender after reasonable prior notice to any Borrower, each Borrower will permit Lender or a firm engaged by Lender (or any of their representatives) for such purpose to:

(i)conduct field examinations, including with respect to such Borrower’s practices in the calculation of the Borrowing Base and the assets included in the Borrowing Base and related financial information such as, but not limited to, sales, gross margins, payables, accruals and reserves, provided, that, commencing after the Closing Date, (x) Lender shall not conduct, at the expense of Borrowers, more than (A) one (1) field examination in any 12 month period so long as Excess Availability during such 12 month period is at all times greater than or equal to $25,000,000, or (B) two (2) field examinations in any 12 month period if Excess Availability during such 12 month period is at any time less than such amount, (y) Lender may conduct, at the expense of Borrowers, such other field examinations as Lender may request at any time as may be required by law or regulation or in connection with a Permitted Acquisition or when an Event of Default exists and (z) Lender may conduct additional field examinations at any time at its own expense;

This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment in full of the Obligations. If any Indemnified Person makes any payment to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which a Loan Party was required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by each Loan Party with respect thereto.

11.GENERAL PROVISIONS

11.1Effectiveness; Section Headings; Severability. This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by each Loan Party and Lender whose signature is provided for on the signature pages hereof. Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

11.2Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Execution of any such counterpart may be by means of (a) an electronic signature that complies with the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, or any other relevant and applicable electronic signatures law; (b) an original manual signature; or (c) a faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature. Each electronic signature or faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect, and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Lender reserves the right, in its discretion, to accept, deny, or condition acceptance of any electronic signature on this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by faxed, scanned or photocopied manual signature shall also deliver an original manually executed counterpart, but the failure to deliver an original manually executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document, and any notice delivered hereunder or thereunder, mutatis mutandis.

11.3Patriot Act. Lender hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Person or corporation who opens an account or enters into a business relationship with it, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow Lender to identify such Person in accordance with the Patriot Act and any other applicable law. Each Loan Party is hereby advised that any Revolving Loans or Letters of Credit are subject to satisfactory results of such verification. Lender shall have the right to periodically conduct due diligence on each Loan Party, its senior management and key principals and legal and beneficial owners. Each Loan Party agrees to cooperate in respect of the conduct of reasonable due diligence.

11.4Integration. The Loan Documents reflect the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the Closing Date. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, all agreements for Bank Products, if any, are independent agreements governed by the written provisions of the agreements for them, which will remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayments, acceleration, reduction, increase, or change in the

terms of any credit extended hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided in such agreement.

11.5Confidentiality. (a) Lender agrees that material, non-public information regarding Parent and its Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans (“Confidential Information”) shall be treated by Lender in a confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by Lender to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement, except: (i) to attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors, and consultants to Lender and to employees, directors and officers of Lender (“Lender Representatives”) on a “need to know” basis in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and on a confidential basis, (ii) to Subsidiaries and Affiliates of Lender, provided that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have agreed to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section, (iii) as may be required by regulatory authorities so long as such authorities are informed of the confidential nature of such information, (iv) as may be required by statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation; provided that (x) prior to any disclosure under this clause (iv), the disclosing party agrees to provide Parent with prior notice thereof, to the extent that it is practicable to do so and to the extent that the disclosing party is permitted to provide such prior notice to Parent pursuant to the terms of the applicable statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation and (y) any disclosure under this clause (iv) shall be limited to the portion of the Confidential Information as may be required by such statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation, (v) as may be agreed to in advance in writing by Parent, (vi) as requested or required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process, provided, that, (x) prior to any disclosure under this clause (vi) the disclosing party agrees to provide Parent with prior written notice thereof, to the extent that it is practicable to do so and to the extent that the disclosing party is permitted to provide such prior written notice to Parent pursuant to the terms of the subpoena or other legal process and (y) any disclosure under this clause (vi) shall be limited to the portion of the Confidential Information as may be required by such Governmental Authority pursuant to such subpoena or other legal process, (vii) as to any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of prohibited disclosure by Lender or the Lender Representatives), (viii) in connection with any participation or pledge of any Lender’s interest under this Agreement, provided that prior to receipt of Confidential Information any such participant or pledgee shall have agreed in writing to receive such Confidential Information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section, (ix) in connection with any litigation or other adversary proceeding involving parties hereto which such litigation or adversary proceeding involves claims related to the rights or duties of such parties under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, that, prior to any disclosure to any Person (other than any Loan Party, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and counsel) under this clause (ix) with respect to litigation involving any Person (other than any Loan Party, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and counsel), the disclosing party agrees to provide Parent with prior written notice thereof, and (x) in connection with, and to the extent reasonably necessary for, the exercise of any secured creditor remedy under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, Lender may disclose information concerning the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents in its marketing or promotional materials, with such information to consist of deal terms and other

information customarily found in such marketing or promotional materials and may otherwise use the name, logos, and other insignia of any Loan Party and the Commitment provided hereunder in any “tombstone” or other advertisements, on its website or in other marketing materials of Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section shall prohibit any individual from communicating or disclosing information regarding suspected violations of laws, rules, or regulations to a governmental, regulatory, or self-regulatory authority.

11.6Agent for Borrowers. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints Parent as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all Loan Parties which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until Lender shall have received prior written notice signed by each Loan Party that such appointment has been revoked and that another Loan Party has been appointed as the borrowing agent. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Parent (a) to provide Lender with all notices with respect to Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit and all other notices and instructions under the Loan Documents (and any notice or instruction provided by Parent shall be deemed to be given by Loan Parties hereunder and shall bind each Loan Party), (b) to receive all notices, instructions and other information from Lender (and any notice, instructions or other information provided by Lender to Parent shall be deemed to have been given to each Loan Party), and (c) to take such action as Parent deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. Each Loan Party agrees that the handling of the Credit Facility, with Loan Parties and Collateral in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Loan Parties in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that Lender shall not incur liability to any Loan Party as a result hereof. Each Loan Party expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the Credit Facility, with Loan Parties and Collateral in a combined fashion, since the successful operation of each Loan Party is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group.

11.7Acknowledgement 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 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.

11.8Acknowledgement and Restatement; Release and Termination.

(a)Existing Obligations. The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge, confirm and agree that, as of the date hereof, the Loan Parties are indebted to Lender in respect of Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000, and in respect of Letters of Credit (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of $0, in each case together with all interest accrued and accruing thereon (to the extent applicable), and all fees, costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, all of which are unconditionally owing by Borrowers to Lender, without offset, defense or counterclaim of any kind, nature or description whatsoever.

The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge, confirm and agree that Lender shall continue to have a security interest in and lien upon the assets of the Loan Parties, as applicable, constituting Collateral heretofore granted to Wells Fargo (in its capacity as agent under the Existing Credit Agreement) pursuant to the Existing Loan Documents to secure the Obligations, as well as any Collateral granted under any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise granted to or held by Lender. The Liens of Lender in the Collateral shall be deemed to be continuously granted and perfected from the earliest date of the granting and perfection of such Liens to Wells Fargo (in its capacity as agent under the Existing Credit Agreement), whether under the Existing Loan Documents, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge, confirm and agree that: (i) the Existing Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the applicable Loan Parties and are in full force and effect as of the date hereof, (ii) the agreements and obligations of the applicable Loan Parties contained in the Existing Loan Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Loan Parties enforceable against the Loan Parties in accordance with their respective terms, and the Loan Parties have no valid defense to the enforcement of such obligations and (iii) Lender is entitled to all of the rights and remedies provided for in favor of Wells Fargo (in its capacity as agent under the Existing Credit Agreement) and the lenders party thereto in the Existing Loan Documents, as amended and restated by this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents.

(d)Restatement. Except as otherwise stated in Section 11.8(b) and this Section 11.8(d), as of the date hereof, the terms, conditions, agreements, covenants,

representations and warranties set forth in the Existing Loan Documents are hereby amended and restated in their entirety, and as so amended and restated, replaced and superseded, by the terms, conditions, agreements, covenants, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except that nothing herein or in the other Loan Documents shall impair or adversely affect the continuation of the liability of the Loan Parties for the “Obligations” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), Indebtedness and other liabilities (collectively, the “Existing Obligations”) heretofore incurred, granted, pledged, hypothecated and/or assigned to Wells Fargo (in its capacity as agent under the Existing Credit Agreement) or the lenders party thereto under the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Existing Loan Documents. The amendment and restatement contained herein shall not, in any manner, be construed to constitute payment of, or impair, limit, cancel or extinguish, or constitute a novation in respect of, the Existing Obligations evidenced by or arising under the Existing Loan Documents, and the Liens in the Collateral (as such term is defined herein) of Wells Fargo (in its capacity as agent under the Existing Credit Agreement) securing such Existing Obligations, which shall not in any manner be impaired, limited, terminated, waived or released, but shall continue in full force and effect in favor of Lender. All Existing Obligations and all other loans, advances and other financial accommodations under the Existing Credit Agreement that are outstanding and unpaid as of the date hereof pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement or otherwise (including, without limitation, all Existing Obligations now or hereafter arising in connection with any existing Letters of Credit) shall be deemed Obligations of Loan Parties under this Agreement which are secured by Liens in the Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
