Dear Francesca,
​
We are pleased to confirm a change in your Change of Control benefit under your employment contract with Trinseo PLC or its affiliate.  Basically, the change increases the severance amount from 18 months to 24 months provided all other conditions of this benefit are met.  More particularly, please note that the double trigger elements both still apply.
​
A side-by-side comparison of the change is provided below:
​
	Current Change in Control Severance - Section 7(d)
	New Change in Control Severance - Section 7(d)

			FIRST AMENDMENT TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			This First Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of June 13, 2022 and is effective as of May 27, 2022, by and among OXFORD FINANCE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with an office located at 115 South Union Street, Suite 300, Alexandria, Virginia 22314 (“Oxford”), as collateral agent (in such capacity, “Collateral Agent”), the Lenders party hereto and SILK ROAD MEDICAL, INC., a Delaware corporation with offices located at 1213 Innsbruck Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94089 (“Borrower”).
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			RECITALS
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			WHEREAS, Collateral Agent, Borrower and Lenders have entered into that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of May 27, 2022 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, collectively, the “Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which Lenders have provided to Borrower certain loans in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof; and
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			WHEREAS, Borrower, Lenders and Collateral Agent desire to amend certain provisions of the Loan Agreement as provided herein and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
		

		
			﻿
		

		
			NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Borrower, Lenders and Collateral Agent hereby agree as follows:
		

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 1.
			Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement.

		
			﻿
		

			
	
			
				 2.
			The following defined term in Section 13.1 of the Agreement hereby is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

		
			﻿
		

		
			“Basic Rate” is the per annum rate of interest (based on a year of three hundred sixty
		

		
			(360) days) equal to (a) the greater of (i) the 1-Month CME Term SOFR (the “Index Rate”) on the last Business Day of the month that immediately precedes the month in which the interest will accrue and (ii) eighty-five one-hundredths percent (0.85%), plus (b) (x) with respect to each Term Loan, five percent (5.00%); and (ii) with respect to each Advance, three percent (3.00%). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in no event shall the Index Rate exceed two and one-half percent (2.50%); (ii) in no event shall the Basic Rate for any Term Loan be less than five and eighty-five one-hundredths percent (5.85%), nor greater than seven and one-half percent (7.50%);

Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Collateral Agent pursuant hereto will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in Collateral Agent’s sole discretion and without consent from any other party.
