## Exhibit 10.1

**Execution Version**

**<u>AMENDMENT NO. 2</u>**

 **<u>TO AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT AND GUARANTY</u>**

This AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT AND GUARANTY, dated as of January 13, 2023 (this "**Amendment**"), is by and among SONENDO, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "**Borrower**"), the Subsidiary Guarantors party hereto, the Lenders party hereto, and Perceptive Credit Holdings III, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, as collateral agent for the Secured Parties (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the "**Collateral Agent**"). Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Guaranty, dated as of August 23, 2021 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect prior to the date hereof, the "**Existing Credit Agreement**", and as further amended by this Amendment, the "**Credit Agreement**"), by and among the Borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Borrower from time to time party thereto, the Lenders (as defined therein) from time to time party thereto and the Collateral Agent. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

<u>RECITALS</u> 

WHEREAS, the Loans under the Existing Credit Agreement bear interest based on the London interbank offered rate ("**LIBOR**") in accordance with the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement;

WHEREAS, on March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority confirmed the Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the quotation or determination of LIBOR will either cease to supervise or sanction such rates for purposes of interest rates on loans or no longer be representative and the Collateral Agent has determined that One-Month LIBOR (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) can no longer be determined by the Collateral Agent; and

WHEREAS, the parties to the Existing Credit Agreement have agreed to establish an alternate rate of interest to One-Month LIBOR and to make such other related changes to the Existing Credit Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

**ARTICLE I** **<br>AMENDMENTs TO the Existing CREDIT AGREEMENT**

**SECTION 1.01.** **Amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement**. As of the Amendment Effective Date (defined below), the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended as set forth below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)Section 1.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new definitions in their respective alphabetically correct places:

"**Amendment No. 2**" means Amendment No. 2 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Guaranty, dated as of January 13, 2023.

------

"**Conforming Changes**" means, with respect to either the use or administration of One-Month Term SOFR, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of "Business Day," the definition of "U.S. Government Securities Business Day," the definition of "Interest Period" or any similar or analogous definition (or the addition of a concept of "interest period"), the timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, the timing of borrowing requests, prepayments or conversion or continuation notices, the applicability and length of lookback periods, the applicability of **Section 3.02(e)** and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Collateral Agent reasonably decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such rate or to permit the use and administration thereof by the Collateral Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Collateral Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Collateral Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Collateral Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

"**One-Month Term SOFR**" means, the Term SOFR Reference Rate (expressed, as a decimal, rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100th of 1%) for a one month tenor on the day (such day, the "**Periodic Term SOFR Determination Day**") that is two (2) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the first day of the applicable Interest Period, as such rate is published by the Term SOFR Administrator; <u>provided</u> that if as of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Periodic Term SOFR Determination Day the Term SOFR Reference Rate for the applicable tenor has not been published by the Term SOFR Administrator, then Term SOFR will be the Term SOFR Reference Rate for such tenor as published by the Term SOFR Administrator on the first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day for which such Term SOFR Reference Rate for such tenor was published by the Term SOFR Administrator so long as such first preceding U.S. Government Securities Business Day is not more than three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to such Periodic Term SOFR Determination Day.

"**Periodic Term SOFR Determination Day**" has the meaning set forth in the definition of "One-Month Term SOFR".

"**Reference Rate Transition Event**" means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the Reference Rate then in effect:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Reference Rate (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) stating that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide such Reference Rate (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely; <u>provided</u> that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide such Reference Rate (or such component thereof);

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) a public statement or publication of information by the Governmental Authority governing or regulating the administrator of such Reference Rate (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the U.S. Federal Reserve System, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the then-current administrator for such Reference Rate (or such component thereof), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the then-current administrator for such Reference Rate (or such component thereof) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Reference Rate (or such component thereof), which in any case states that the then-current administrator of such Reference Rate (or such component thereof) has ceased or will cease to provide such Reference Rate (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; <u>provided</u> that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide such Reference Rate (or such component thereof); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) a public statement or publication of information by the Governmental Authority governing or regulating the then-current administrator of such Reference Rate stating that such Reference Rate (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) is no longer, or as a of a specified future date will not be, representative.

A "Reference Rate Transition Event" will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Reference Rate if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current available tenor of such Reference Rate (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

"**SOFR**" means a rate equal to the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the SOFR Administrator.

"**SOFR Administrator**" means the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator of the secured overnight financing rate).

"**Term SOFR Administrator**" means CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited (CBA) (or a successor administrator of the Term SOFR Reference Rate selected by the Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion).

"**Term SOFR Reference Rate**" means the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR.

"**U.S. Government Securities Business Day**" means any day except for (i) a Saturday, (ii) a Sunday or (iii) a day on which the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association recommends that the fixed income departments of its members be closed for the entire day for purposes of trading in United States government securities.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)The following defined term set forth in Section 1.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

"**Reference Rate**" means One-Month Term SOFR; <u>provided</u> that if One-Month Term SOFR can no longer be determined by the Collateral Agent for any reason (in its sole discretion, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error or demonstrable), including as a result of the Term SOFR Reference Rate not being available or published on a current basis or as a result of the occurrence of a Reference Rate Transition Event, then the Collateral Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor, in good faith, to establish an alternate rate of interest to One-Month Term SOFR that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for middle-market loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u> that, until such alternate rate of interest is agreed upon by the Collateral Agent and the Borrower, the Reference Rate for purposes hereof and of each other Loan Document shall be the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)The following defined terms set forth in Section 1.01 of the Existing Credit Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety: "LIBO Rate", "LIBOR Transition Event", "One-Month LIBOR" and "Screen Rate".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)Section 1.05 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

**"1.05 Reference Rate Replacement**. Upon the occurrence of an event of the type described in the first proviso of the definition of "Reference Rate", the Collateral Agent will promptly notify the Borrower thereof and, as set forth in such proviso, the Collateral Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor, in good faith, to establish an alternate rate of interest to One-Month Term SOFR; <u>provided</u> that there is no assurance that the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement Reference Rate will be similar to or produce the same value or economic equivalence as One-Month Term SOFR or that it will have the same volume or liquidity as did One-Month Term SOFR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)Section 1 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting new Section 1.06 at the end of such section, which shall read as follows:

**"1.06 Rates.**

The Collateral Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (i) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Term SOFR Reference Rate or One-Month Term SOFR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto, including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate 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 or One-Month Term SOFR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (ii) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Collateral Agent and its Affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Term SOFR Reference Rate or One-Month Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Collateral Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Term SOFR Reference Rate or One-Month Term SOFR, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender 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."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Section 3.02 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding new clauses (d) and (e) at the end of such section, which shall read as follows:

"(d) **Conforming Changes**. In connection with the use or administration of One-Month Term SOFR, the Collateral Agent 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. The Collateral Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of One-Month Term SOFR.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) **Compensation for Losses**. In the event of the payment of any principal of any Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for any loss, cost or expense attributable to such event, including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this **Section 3.02(e)** shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. This **Section 3.02(e)** shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent Losses arising from any non-Tax loss, cost or expense."

**SECTION 1.02.** **Existing LIBOR Loans**. Notwithstanding the amendments contemplated by this Amendment, interest due and payable under the Credit Agreement on January 31, 2023, shall accrue and be payable as set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement without giving effect to the amendments contemplated by this Amendment.
