(b)        The following definitions of “Sixth Amendment Effective Date” and “Term SOFR Administrator’s Website” are added to Section 1.01 (Definitions) of the Agreement:


Sixth Amendment Effective Date is February 22, 2022.


Term SOFR Administrator’s Website means the website or any successor source for Term SOFR identified by CME Group Benchmark Administration Ltd. (or a successor administrator of Term SOFR).


(c)        Section 2.03(a) (Interest Rates and Payments) of the Agreement is deleted and replaced with the following:

In the case of Term SOFR, such replacement rate will be Daily Simple SOFR.  In the case of a replacement rate other than Term SOFR, Lender may add a spread adjustment selected by Lender, taking into consideration any selection or recommendation of a replacement rate by any relevant agency or authority, and evolving or prevailing market practice.  In connection with the selection and implementation of any such replacement rate, Lender may make any technical, administrative or operational changes that Lender decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such replacement rate.  Without limitation of the foregoing, in the case of a transition to Daily Simple SOFR, Lender will remove any option to select another rate that may change or is reset on a daily basis, including, without limitation, the Prime Rate.  Lender does not warrant or accept any responsibility for the administration or submission of, or any other matter related to, Term SOFR or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation whether any such alternative, successor or replacement rate will have the same value as, or be economically equivalent to, Term SOFR.

            6.         Representations and Warranties.  Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that as of the Sixth Amendment Effective Date:


(a)        the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Amendment are within the corporate powers of Borrower, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and 








require no action by or in respect of, consent of or filing, recording or registration with, any governmental or regulatory instrumentality, authority, body, agency or official or any other Person;


(b)        the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Amendment do not conflict with, or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under or result in any violation of, the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation or By‐laws of Borrower, any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or any agreement, document or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or any of its Property is bound or to which Borrower or any of its Property is subject;


(c)        this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);


(d)        all of the representations and warranties made by Borrower in the Agreement and/or in any other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of this Amendment as if made on and as of the date of this Amendment; and


(e)        after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default under or within the meaning of the Agreement has occurred and is continuing.


            7.         Inconsistency.  In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between this Amendment and the Agreement, the terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Amendment shall govern and control.


            8.         Governing Law.  This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Missouri (without reference to conflict of law principles) but giving effect to Federal laws applicable to national banks.

TO PROTECT YOU (BORROWER(S)) AND US (CREDITOR) FROM MISUNDERSTANDING OR DISAPPOINTMENT, ANY AGREEMENTS WE REACH COVERING SUCH MATTERS ARE CONTAINED IN THIS WRITING, WHICH IS THE COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE STATEMENT OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN US, EXCEPT AS WE MAY LATER AGREE IN WRITING TO MODIFY IT. 


            10.        Counterparts.  This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterparts (including facsimile counterparts), each of which shall be an original with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.


            11.        Conditions Precedent.  Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Amendment to the contrary, this Amendment shall not be effective unless and until Agent shall have received:


(a)        this Amendment, duly executed by Borrower;










(b)        a Certificate of Secretary (with resolutions attached), certified by the Secretary of Borrower;


(c)        recent certificates of corporate good standing for Borrower, issued by the Secretaries of State of Delaware and Missouri; and
