The Amendment also eliminates adjustments to the applicable margin percentages for base rate loans and non-base rate loans, as well as adjustments to the facility fee rate the Company is required to pay on the average daily unused amount of the loan commitments, that would have applied following the Company’s completion of a significant acquisition prior to December 31, 2023.

    The foregoing description of the Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
