NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Amendments to Existing Credit Agreement. As of the Amendment Effective Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment and in the Existing Credit Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement is amended as follows:

(a) The definition of “Arranger” in Section 1.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

“Arranger” means, collectively, Woodforest National Bank and Valley National Bank, in their capacity as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers hereunder.

(b) The definition of “Excluded Subsidiary” in Section 1.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

“Excluded Subsidiary” means (a) FlexFIN Holdco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (b) FlexFIN, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (c) NVTN LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and (d) such other Subsidiaries the Administrative Agent agrees to designate as Excluded Subsidiaries in its sole discretion.

(c) The definition of “Revolving Commitment” in Section 1.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

“Revolving Commitment” means with respect to each Lender, the amount set forth on the Commitment Schedule opposite such Lender’s name, or in the Assignment and Assumption or other documentation or record (as such term is defined in Section 9-102(a)(70) of the New York Uniform Commercial Code) as provided in Section 9.04(b)(ii)(C), pursuant to which such Lender shall have assumed its Revolving Commitment, as applicable, as such Revolving Commitment may be reduced or increased from time to time pursuant to assignments by or to such Lender pursuant to Section 9.04; provided, that at no time shall the Revolving Exposure of any Lender exceed its Revolving Commitment. As of February 21, 2024, the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Commitments is $62,500,000.

(d) Section 2.06 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

Section 2.06 Increase in Revolving Commitments.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right to increase the Revolving Commitments by obtaining additional Revolving Commitments, either from one or more of the Lenders or another lending institution, provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, (ii) the Borrower may make a maximum of two (2) such requests, (iii) after giving effect thereto, the aggreagate amount of Revolving Commitments does not exceed $75,000,000, (iv) the Administrative Agent has approved the identity of any such new Lender, such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld or conditioned, (v) any such new Lender assumes all of the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder as of and after becoming a new Lender but not with respect to any matter relating prior thereto unless otherwise expressly agreed, and (vi) the procedures described in clause (b) below have been satisfied. Nothing contained in this Section 2.06 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Revolving Commitment hereunder at any time.

(b) Any amendment hereto for an increase or addition pursuant to clause (a) above shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and shall only require the written signatures of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Lender being added or increasing its Commitment, subject only to the approval of all Lenders if any such increase or addition would cause the aggreagate amount of Revolving Commitments to exceed $75,000,000. As a condition precedent to such an increase or addition, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) a certificate of each Loan Party signed by an authorized officer of such Loan Party (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (B) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase or addition, (1) the representations and warranties contained in Article 3 and the other Loan Documents are true and correct, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, (2) no Default exists, and (3) the Borrower is in compliance (on a pro forma basis) with the covenants contained in Section 6.12, (ii) legal opinions and documents consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date, to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent, and (iii) prior notice of such requested increase no later than fifteen (15) days before the requested effective date of such increase.

(c) On the effective date of any such increase or addition pursuant to this Section 2.06, (i) any Lender increasing (or, in the case of any newly added Lender, extending) its Revolving Commitment shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase or addition and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans of all the Lenders to equal its revised Applicable Percentage of such outstanding Revolving Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall make such other adjustments among the Lenders with respect to the Revolving Loans then outstanding and amounts of principal, interest, commitment fees and other amounts paid or payable with respect thereto as shall be necessary, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, in order to effect such reallocation and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans as of the date of any increase (or addition) in the Revolving Commitments. The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid. Within a reasonable time after the effective date of any increase or addition, the Administrative Agent shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, revise the Commitment Schedule to reflect such increase or addition and shall distribute such revised Commitment Schedule to each of the Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon such revised Commitment Schedule shall replace the old Commitment Schedule and become part of this Agreement.

2

(e) Section 6.01(f) of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

(f) The Commitment Schedule to the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated as attached hereto; and

Except as expressly modified hereby, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unaltered and in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms. Payment of the Obligations under the Loan Documents, and any other obligations of the Loan Parties to the Lenders, presently existing or hereafter arising, remain and shall be and hereby are secured by all of the Collateral Documents. The Loan Parties ratify and confirm the provisions of the Collateral Documents, and represent and warrant that such documents continue to create first liens and first perfected security interests in the Collateral described therein.

4

6. Release. Each Loan Party hereby jointly and severally acknowledges and agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries has any claim or cause of action against the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of the directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or consultants of any of the foregoing), or any defense, set-off, objection or challenge against payment of any sums currently owing or enforcement of any terms, under or with respect to the Loans, the Credit Agreement, or the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders wish (and the Loan Parties agree) to eliminate any possibility that any past conditions, acts, omissions, events or circumstances would impair or otherwise adversely affect any of their respective rights, interests, security and/or remedies. Accordingly, for and in consideration of the agreements contained in this Amendment and other good and valuable consideration, each Loan Party (for itself and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and the successors, assigns, heirs and representatives of each of the foregoing) (collectively, the “Releasors”) does hereby jointly, severally, fully, finally, unconditionally and irrevocably release, waive and forever discharge the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, together with their respective Affiliates and Related Funds, and each of the Related Parties of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any and all debts, claims, allegations, obligations, damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, suits, demands, liabilities, actions, proceedings and causes of action, in each case, whether known or unknown, contingent or fixed, direct or indirect, and of whatever nature or description, and whether in law or in equity, under contract, tort, statute or otherwise, which any Releasor has heretofore had or now or hereafter can, shall or may have against any Released Party by reason of any act, omission or thing whatsoever done or omitted to be done, in each case, arising out of, connected with or related to this Amendment, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, or the agreements of the Administrative Agent or any Lender contained therein, or the possession, use, operation or control of any of the assets of any Loan Party in connection with the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or the making of any Loans or other advances, or the management of such Loans or other advances or the Collateral (collectively, the “Claims”). Each Loan Party represents and warrants that it has no knowledge of any Claim by any Releasor against any Released Party or of any facts or acts or omissions of any Released Party which on the date hereof would be the basis of a Claim by any Releasor against any Released Party which would not be released hereby. It is the express intent of Releasors and the Released Parties that the release and discharge set forth in this Section be construed as broadly as possible in favor of the Released Parties so as to foreclose forever the assertion by any of the Releasors of any Claims against any of the Releasees. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions in this Section 6 do not apply to the ongoing obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders expressly set forth in the Loan Documents including the Commitments and obligations to make Loans as set forth therein.

7. No Novation. The parties to this Amendment intend that this Amendment shall not constitute a substitution or novation, and nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation, of any Obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement, any Loan Document, or any instrument securing the same, all of which shall remain in full force and effect, except as expressly modified hereby.

8. Amendment Documents as Loan Documents. Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Amendment and each other Amendment Document constitutes a “Loan Document” under the Credit Agreement, and shall be subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, it shall be an immediate Event of Default under the Credit Agreement if (i) any representation or warranty made by any Loan Party under or in connection with this Amendment or any other Amendment Document shall have been incorrect in any respect when made or deemed made, or (ii) any Loan Party shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in this Amendment or any other Amendment Document.

9. General Provisions. Sections 9.01, 9.03, 9.06, 9.07, 9.09 and 9.10 of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis.
