Whereas:

The Borrowing Base Providers and the Bank have entered into a borrowing base facility agreement (hereinafter referred to as the “Agreement”) as of March 20, 2020. The following addendum to the Agreement is hereby concluded:

1. Term

Clause 5, paragraph 5.1 of the Agreement is revised as follows:

“5.1 The Credit Commitment is granted until January 30, 2026 („Maturity Date“). The Borrower may request two extensions of the Maturity Date for one further year respectively pursuant to the following conditions:

(a) The Borrower may request that the respective Maturity Date of the Agreement shall be extended for a further period of one year by giving written notice (the „Extension Request“) to the Bank not more than 540 days and not less than 90 days before the Maturity Date.

(b) The Bank may, in its sole discretion, consider whether it accepts such an Extension Request. The Bank has to confirm to the Borrower not less than 30 days after receipt of the Extension Request whether it will extend the respective Maturity Date as requested. This confirmation must be made in writing; otherwise, it shall be deemed not to have been granted.

(c) If the Bank has agreed to an Extension Request as per paragraph 5.1 (b), the respective Maturity Date will be extended accordingly.”

2. Interest

Clause 3.2 of the Agreement shall be revised and shall have the following wording:

“3.2 Overdraft facility in foreign currency

The Borrower shall pay interest now and until further notice at a rate equal to SOFR plus a margin of 3,25 % p. a. on utilizations on the current account (overdraft facility) in USD. If SOFR is 0 % or less than 0 %, the Borrower shall pay interest at a rate equal to the margin.

SOFR (hereinafter also referred to as the “Reference Rate”) means the interest rate provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the “Fed”) (or any successor administrator) and published on the Fed`s website ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇ (or any successor to that page) for lending transactions in USD. The SOFR shall be published on the above mentioned website one banking day after the day on which the Fed determines a SOFR. For days on which no SOFR is published by the Fed, the last published SOFR shall be used for the calculation of interest. For the purposes of this paragraph, a banking day shall be any day except Saturday and Sunday on which commercial banks in New York are open for business.

If the essential calculation bases of one of the above mentioned Reference Rates change or may no longer be determined temporarily or permanently, the Bank will use the reference interest rate which replaces the respective Reference Rate or another suitable reference interest rate (“Replacement Reference Interest Rate”). The Bank will inform the Borrower of the Replacement Reference Interest Rate in due course.

3. Fee

The Borrower shall pay the Bank a non-recurring fee of 0.6% of the Credit Commitment (Amendment Fee). The Amendment Fee is due and payable five business days after the signing of this addendum.

4. Other Agreements

All other agreements of the Agreement shall remain unaffected.

5. Obligation of the Bank to maintain its offer / Effectiveness of the Addendum

The Bank will consider itself bound to the offer made in this Addendum until June 30, 2022.
