RECITALS



A.The Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders, and Bank of America as Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and L/C Issuer are parties to a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 6, 2020, as amended by a Waiver and First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 15, 2020 (the “First Amendment”), by a Waiver and Second Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August 7, 2020 (the “Second Amendment”), by a Waiver and Third Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 8, 2021 (the “Third Amendment”), and by a Fourth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 29, 2022 (the “Fourth Amendment”  and collectively with the  First Amendment, Second Amendment, Third Amendment, and Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders provide a revolving credit facility to the Borrower in an aggregate amount of up to $55,000,000.00.



▇.▇▇ stated in that certain Default Notice; Reservation of Rights Letter dated as of March 8, 2023 (the “Default Letter”), a Default has occurred and is continuing by the Borrower’s breach of Section 3.2 of the Fourth Amendment due to the Borrower’s failure to pay the principal payment in the amount of $5,000,000.00 due on March 1, 2023 (the “Payment Amount”). As provided in the Default Letter, from and after March 1, 2023, interest is accruing on the Payment Amount at the Default Rate of 2% above the otherwise applicable interest rate (the “Accrued    Default Interest”). [***] The defaults referred to in this Recital B are collectively referred to as the “Existing Defaults.”



C.The parties are entering into this Fifth Amendment by which the Lenders will waive the Existing Defaults and the parties will amend and supplement the Credit Agreement as set forth below.



NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

---

 

1.Recitals.  All of the foregoing recitals and statements are hereby affirmed by the Loan Parties as true statements of fact and may be used as binding admissions in a court of law or equity, or other judicial or non-judicial proceedings.



2.Defined Terms.  Any and all initially capitalized terms used in this Fifth Amendment without definition (including, without limitation, in the recitals to this Fifth Amendment) shall have the respective meanings set forth for such terms in the Credit Agreement.



3.Waiver of Existing Defaults. To the fullest extent necessary, each of the Administrative Agent and Lenders hereby waive the Existing Defaults. Such waiver shall constitute a waiver of only the Existing Defaults, and shall not constitute a waiver of the Borrower’s obligation to comply with the Credit Agreement, as amended, on any other occasion or occurrence, including without limitation, the Borrower’s obligation to comply with all applicable covenants in the Credit Agreement, including any and all financial covenants, on a going-forward basis.



4.Amendments to Credit Agreement.



4.1.Extension of Maturity Date. The definition of “Maturity Date” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is amended and restated to read as follows:

4.2.PIK Interest. Section 2.08 of the Credit Agreement is amended to provide for additional interest on the Loan, which shall be inserted into such Section as clause (d) and which shall read as follows:



“(d) In consideration for the terms set forth in the Fifth Amendment dated to be effective as of March 30, 2023, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay additional interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan at the rate of one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum commencing on January 1, 2024 and continuing until the Loan is paid in full (the “PIK Interest”). The PIK Interest shall accrue but not be due and payable until the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date or (ii) the date on which the Loan is paid in full; provided,  however, in the event that the Loan is repaid in full prior to April 1, 2024, the Lenders shall waive (and forgive) the obligation of Borrower to pay the PIK Interest.”

(a) purport to affect or pertain to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or (b) either individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect [***].”

5.General Release.
