(b) any Interest Period pertaining to a Term SOFR Loan that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period; and

SECTION 2. First Incremental Term Loans.

(a) First Incremental Term Loan Facility. Pursuant to Section 2.9 of the Credit Agreement, the First Incremental Term Loan Facility is hereby established under the Credit Agreement on the terms set forth below and this Agreement shall constitute (i) a Lender Addition and Acknowledgement Agreement and (ii) delivery by the Borrower of an Incremental Term Loan Notification, in each case, for purposes of such Section 2.9. The First Incremental Term Loan Lenders hereby consent to the First Incremental Effective Date occurring on the same day as the Incremental Term Loan Notification was delivered.

(b) First Incremental Term Loan. The aggregate principal amount of the First Incremental Term Loan Lenders’ commitments with respect to the First Incremental Term Loans on the First Incremental Effective Date is TWO HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS ($250,000,000). The First Incremental Term Loans shall rank equally in right of payment with the Term Loan. The Borrower’s obligations with respect to the First Incremental Term Loans shall constitute Obligations under the Credit Agreement and will be secured and guaranteed with the other Obligations on a pari passu basis.

(c) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Credit Agreement, each First Incremental Term Loan Lender severally agrees to make its portion of the First Incremental Term Loans in Dollars on the First Incremental Effective Date in a single advance in an amount equal to such First Incremental Term Loan Lender’s commitment in respect of the First Incremental Term Loans (such Lender’s “First Incremental Term Loan Commitment”). The amount of the First Incremental Term Loan Commitment of each First Incremental Term Loan Lender is set forth opposite such First Incremental Term Loan Lender’s name on Schedule 1.1(b) attached hereto. The First Incremental Term Loans may not be repaid

CHAR1\1859914v5

and subsequently reborrowed. The aggregate First Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall be permanently reduced by the principal amount of any First Incremental Term Loan extended hereunder.

(d) Borrowing. The First Incremental Term Loans may be Term SOFR Loans, Daily SOFR Loans or Base Rate Loans. Each Extension of Credit, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Term SOFR Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by: (A) telephone or (B) a Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Loan Notice. Each such Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) two (2) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Extension of Credit of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans or of any conversion of Term SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans or Daily SOFR Loans, (ii) the first Business Day immediately prior to the requested date of any Extension of Credit of, or conversion to, Daily SOFR Loans, and (iii) on the requested date of any Extension of Credit of Base Rate Loans. Each Extension of Credit of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans and Daily SOFR Loans shall be in a principal amount of the Dollar Amount of $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of the Dollar Amount of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, in connection with any conversion or continuation of the First Incremental Term Loan, if less, the entire principal thereof then outstanding). Each Extension of Credit of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, in connection with any conversion or continuation of the First Incremental Term Loan, if less, the entire principal thereof then outstanding). Each Loan Notice and each telephonic notice shall specify (A) the applicable Facility and whether the Borrower is requesting an Extension of Credit, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Loans, as the case may be, under such Facility, (B) the requested date of the Extension of Credit, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (D) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (E) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Term SOFR Loans. If the Borrower requests an Extension of Credit of, conversion to, or continuation of Term SOFR Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.

(a) Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin with respect to the First Incremental Term Loan shall be the corresponding percentages per annum as set forth below based on the Net Leverage Ratio:


Pricing Level	Net Leverage Ratio	Base Rate +	Term SOFR/Daily SOFR +
I	> 3.50: 1.00	1.500%	2.500%
II	> 3.00:1.00 but < 3.50:1.00	1.125%	2.125%

CHAR1\1859914v5


III	> 2.50:1.00 but < 3.00:1.00	0.875%	1.875%
IV	> 1.75:1.00 but < 2.50:1.00	0.625%	1.625%
V	> 1.25:1.00 but < 1.75:1.00	0.500%	1.500%
VI	< 1.25:1.00	0.375%	1.375%

The Applicable Margin shall be determined and adjusted quarterly on the first Business Day (each a “Calculation Date”) immediately following the date by which the Borrower provides an Officer’s Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Credit Agreement for the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower; provided, however, that (a) the Applicable Margin shall be based on Pricing Level I until the first Calculation Date following receipt of the Officer’s Compliance Certificate for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022 and, thereafter the Pricing Level shall be determined by reference to the Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower preceding the applicable Calculation Date, and (b) if the Borrower fails to provide the Officer’s Compliance Certificate within five (5) days of the date for delivery required by Section 7.2 of the Credit Agreement for the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower preceding the applicable Calculation Date, then, upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Applicable Margin from such Calculation Date shall be based on Pricing Level I until such time as an appropriate Officer’s Compliance Certificate is provided, at which time the Pricing Level shall be determined by reference to the Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower preceding such Calculation Date. The Applicable Margin shall be effective from one Calculation Date until the next Calculation Date. Any adjustment in the Applicable Margin shall be applicable to all Extensions of Credit then existing or subsequently made or issued.

(e) Maturity Date. The maturity date for the First Incremental Term Loan is the Maturity Date.

(f) Repayment. On the last Business Day of each calendar quarter during the term of the Credit Agreement, commencing on March 31, 2022, the Borrower shall repay to the First Incremental Term Loan Lenders a portion of the aggregate principal amount of all First Incremental Term Loans then outstanding in an amount equal to $1,562,500 (which amount shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.5 of the Credit Agreement), unless accelerated sooner pursuant to Section 11.2(a) of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that (i) the final principal repayment installment of the First Incremental Term Loans shall be repaid on the Maturity Date for the First Incremental Term Loan Facility and in any event shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all First Incremental Term Loans outstanding on such date and (ii) (A) if any principal repayment installment to be made by the Borrower (other than principal repayment installments on Term SOFR Loans) shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, such principal repayment installment shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be and (B) if any principal repayment installment to be made by the Borrower on a Term SOFR Loan shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, such principal repayment installment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to

CHAR1\1859914v5

extend such principal repayment installment into another calendar month, in which event such principal repayment installment shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(g) Interest Payment Dates. Interest on the First Incremental Term Loans shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

(h) Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Credit Extension of the First Incremental Term Loan (i) to finance the acquisition, directly or indirectly, of all of the outstanding Capital Stock of EverFi, Inc. (the “EverFi Acquisition”), pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 30, 2021 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Acquisition Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, Project Montessori Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation, EverFi, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Target”), and Eon Stockholder Representative, LLC (solely in its capacity as the Seller Representative) on the First Incremental Effective Date substantially concurrently with the funding of the First Incremental Term Loans and (ii) to pay the fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the EverFi Acquisition.

(i) Conforming Changes. With respect to SOFR, Daily SOFR or Term SOFR, the Administrative 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; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the First Incremental Term Loan Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

(j) Computations. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to Daily SOFR) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest with respect to Daily SOFR Loans and Term SOFR Loans shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to subject to the provisions in the Credit Agreement addressing payments generally, bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(k) Inability to Determine Rates; Replacement of SOFR or Successor Rate.

(i) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2(k), those Lenders that either have not made, or do not have an obligation under the Credit Agreement to make, the First Incremental Term Loans shall be excluded from any determination of Required Lenders.

(ii) Inability to Determine Rate. If in connection with any request for a Daily SOFR Loan or a Term SOFR Loan or a conversion of Loans to Daily SOFR Loans or

CHAR1\1859914v5

Term SOFR Loans or a continuation of any of such Loans, in each case, as applicable, (A) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (x) no Successor Rate for Daily SOFR or Term SOFR, as applicable, has been determined in accordance with Section 2(k)(iii) or Section (k)(iv) and the circumstances under clause (x) of Section 2(k)(iii) or clause (x) of Section 2(k)(iv) or the applicable Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred with respect to Daily SOFR or Term SOFR (as applicable), or (y) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining Daily SOFR or Term SOFR for any determination date(s), requested payment period or Interest Period, as applicable, with respect to a proposed Daily SOFR Loan or Term SOFR Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (B) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason that Daily SOFR with respect to a proposed Loan for any requested determination date(s) or Term SOFR with respect to a proposed Loan for any Interest Period, as applicable, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (1) the obligation of the First Incremental Term Loan Lenders to make or maintain Daily SOFR Loans or Term SOFR Loans, as applicable, or to convert Loans to Daily SOFR Loans or Term SOFR Loans, as applicable, shall be suspended in each case to the extent of the affected determination date(s), as applicable, and (2) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Daily SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Daily SOFR component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders described in clause (B) of this Section, until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to Daily SOFR Loans or Term SOFR Loans, as applicable, or failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans of the amount specified therein if no election is made by the Borrower by the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice.

(iii) Replacement of Daily SOFR. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(x) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining SOFR because none of the tenors of SOFR (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) are available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(y) the SOFR Administrator or any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or the SOFR Administrator has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which all tenors of SOFR (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) shall or will no longer be representative or made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans denominated in Dollars, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, in each case, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that will continue to provide such

CHAR1\1859914v5

representative tenor(s) of SOFR (the latest date on which all tenors of SOFR (including any forward-looking term rate thereof) are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, the “Daily SOFR Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or

(z) syndicated loans currently being executed and agented in the United States, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace SOFR;

or if any of the events or circumstances of the type described in clauses (x)-(z) above have occurred with respect to the Daily SOFR Successor Rate then in effect, then, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing SOFR or any then current Daily SOFR Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 2(k)(iii) with another alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollar-denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmarks, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollar-denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (and any such proposed rate, including for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment thereto, a “Daily SOFR Successor Rate”), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

(iv) Replacement of Term SOFR. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(x) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR, including, without limitation, because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(y) CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or such administrator with respect to its publication of Term SOFR, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of U.S. dollar denominated syndicated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the

CHAR1\1859914v5

Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide such interest periods of Term SOFR after such specific date (the latest date on which one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate are no longer available permanently or indefinitely, the “Term SOFR Scheduled Unavailability Date” and collectively with the Daily SOFR Scheduled Unavailability Date, a “Scheduled Unavailability Date”);

then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, the “Term SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan Document with Daily SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Term SOFR Successor Rate).

If the Term SOFR Successor Rate is Daily SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) if the Administrative Agent determines that Daily SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (B) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 2(k)(iv)(x) or 2(k)(iv)(y) have occurred with respect to the Term SOFR Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR or any then current Term SOFR Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 2(k)(iv) at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmark and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such benchmark, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments, shall constitute a “Term SOFR Successor Rate” (and collectively with the Daily SOFR Successor Rate, a “Successor Rate”). Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

(v) Successor Rates Generally. The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrower and each Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate.

Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the

CHAR1\1859914v5

Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Administrative 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; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

(l) Loan Notice. For purposes of an Extension of Credit or a conversion or continuation of a First Incremental Term Loan, the Borrower shall use the Loan Notice attached hereto as Exhibit A.

In addition, references to the Eurocurrency Rate in the definition of Base Rate in the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to Daily SOFR for purposes of the First Incremental Term Loans.

(c) For purposes of Section 4.9 of the Credit Agreement, references to the Interest Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall be deemed to include any relevant Interest Period for a Term SOFR Loan or interest payment date or payment period for a Daily SOFR Loan, as applicable.
