			THIRD AMENDMENT TO credit agreement
		

		
			THIS THIRD AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made and entered into as of March 18, 2022, by and among VULCAN MATERIALS COMPANY, a New Jersey corporation (the “Borrower”), the Lenders, and TRUIST BANK, as the Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”).  
		

		
			W I T N E S S E T H  :
		

		
			WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent are party to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of September 10, 2020 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”);  
		

		
			WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders make certain modifications to the Credit Agreement, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to such modifications subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.
		

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

			
	
			
				 SECTION 1.  
			Definitions.  Unless otherwise specifically defined herein, each term used herein (and in the preamble and recitals above) which is defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Credit Agreement.




			
	
			
				 SECTION 2.  
			Amendments to Credit Agreement.  




			
	
			
				 (a)  
			The text of the Credit Agreement and the Pricing Grid attached thereto as Annex I are hereby amended by deleting the stricken text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following examples: stricken text and stricken text) and by adding the double-underlined text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following examples: double-underlined text and double-underlined text) as set forth in the pages of the Credit Agreement and Annex I attached as Annex A hereto.  




			
	
			
				 (b)  
			Notwithstanding anything in the Amendment or the Credit Agreement to the contrary, the Eurodollar Loans outstanding on the date hereof (the “Existing Eurodollar Loans”) shall remain outstanding and continue to bear interest by reference to the Eurodollar Rate through the last day of the applicable Eurodollar Loan Period therefor in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement as in effect immediately prior to giving effect to this Amendment.  The parties hereto hereby agree that if the Borrower has not repaid such Existing Eurodollar Loans or converted such Existing Eurodollar Loans to SOFR Loans or Base Rate Loans on or prior to the last of such applicable Eurodollar Loan Period(s) then such Existing Eurodollar Loans will automatically convert to Base Rate Loans on such date.




			
	
			
				 (c)  
			Schedule 1.1(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth on Schedule 1.1(a) attached hereto and made a part hereof.  The Revolving

			NAI-1527301555v2

		


		





 

			Loan Commitments of each of the Lenders immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment shall be reallocated among the Lenders such that, immediately after the effectiveness of this Amendment in accordance with its terms on the date hereof, the Revolving Loan Commitments of each Lender shall be as set forth on Schedule 1.1(a) to the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby.  In order to effect such reallocations, assignments shall be deemed to be made among the Lenders in such amounts as may be necessary, and with the same force and effect as if such assignments were evidenced by the applicable Assignment and Acceptance (but without the payment of any related assignment fee), and no other documents, instruments or actions shall be required in connection with such assignments, other than recordation in the Register or as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require. Further, to effect the foregoing, each Lender agrees to make such settlements in respect of any outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit, either directly or through the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may direct or approve, such that after giving effect to this Amendment, each Lender holds Loans and participations in respect of Letters of Credit equal to its pro rata share based on its Revolving Commitment Percentage after giving effect to this Amendment.  Without limiting the foregoing, (i) the Lenders that are increasing their Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the reallocation contemplated hereby on the date hereof shall be deemed to constitute Replacement Lenders designated by the Borrower and acceptable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.16 of the Credit Agreement, (ii) such reallocations shall constitute the assumption of the Commitments of, and the purchase of the Loans and participations and rights under the Credit Agreement of, each Person that was a Lender immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment and is not a Lender after giving effect to this Amendment (each such Person, a “Replaced Lender”) by such Replacement Lenders, in each case, in accordance with Section 10.16 of the Credit Agreement, (iii) such Replacement Lenders shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Replaced Lenders under the Credit Agreement and such Replaced Lenders shall no longer be party to or have any rights under the Credit Agreement provided that the obligations of the Borrower to indemnify such Replaced Lenders with respect to any event occurring or obligations arising before such replacement shall survive such replacement and (iv) each Replacement Lender agrees to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent any further documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably require to effect the foregoing in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such documentation on behalf of any such Replacement Lender if such Replacement Lender fails to execute the same within five (5) Business Days after being presented with such documentation. 




			
	
			
				 SECTION 3.  
			Representations and Warranties.  The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as follows:




			
	
			
				 (a)  
			Each of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower in or pursuant to the Loan Documents is true and correct in all material respects (or, if any such representation or warranty already includes a materiality or material adverse effect qualifier, such representation or warranty is true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date hereof as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty was true and correct in all material respects (or, if any such representation or warranty already includes a materiality or material adverse effect qualifier, such representation or warranty was true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date.

				 (b)  
			the receipt by each Replaced Lender of an amount equal to the par value of the Obligations owed to such Replaced Lender under the Loan Documents immediately prior to giving effect to this Amendment;

			No Novation or Mutual Departure.  The Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) there has not been, and this Amendment does not constitute or establish, a novation with respect to the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or a mutual departure from the strict terms, provisions, and conditions thereof, other than with respect to the amendments contained in Section 2 above, and (ii) nothing in this Amendment shall affect or limit the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s right to demand payment of liabilities owing from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or the Lender under, or to demand strict performance of the terms, provisions, and conditions of, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to exercise any and all rights, powers, and remedies under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan
