WHEREAS the Borrower, the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”) and the Administrative Agent are parties to a Credit Agreement, dated as of July 2, 2025 (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated November 11, 2025 and Second Amendment and Limited Waiver to Credit Agreement, dated March 23, 2026, and as otherwise amended, restated, supplemented or modified and in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date (as defined below), the “Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS the Borrower and the Subsidiaries breached Section 6.10(a) of the Credit Agreement as a result of the failure to satisfy the minimum Unrestricted Cash requirement thereunder for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026 and Section 6.10(c) of the Credit Agreement as a result of the failure to satisfy the minimum Direct Tracker Margin requirement thereunder for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2026 (collectively, the “Initial Financial Events of Default”) and the Loan Parties failed to provide notice of the Initial Financial Events of Default to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under Section 5.05(a) of the Credit Agreement (the “Notice Event of Default” and, together with the Initial Financial Events of Default, collectively, the “Specified Events of Default”);

WHEREAS the Borrower wishes to make payments in an amount equal to $1,145,670.93 under the Alpha Steel Seller Notes (the “Alpha Steel Seller Note Payments”);

WHEREAS certain Lenders (collectively, the “Directing Lenders”) and the Administrative Agent are party to that certain letter agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Lender Direction Letter”), pursuant to which, among other things, each Directing Lender grants the Administrative Agent a limited power of attorney to execute this Waiver and Consent on behalf of the Directing Lenders; and

WHEREAS the Borrower has requested that the Lenders party hereto (constituting the Required Lenders) waive the Specified Events of Default, consent to the Alpha Steel Seller Note Payments and, subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Lenders have agreed to do so;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
