3.    FORBEARANCE IN RESPECT OF SPECIFIED DEFAULT
3.1    Acknowledgment of Default. Loan Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that
the Specified Default has occurred, is continuing, and is expected to be
continuing, which constitutes an Event of Default and entitles each Lender to
exercise its respective rights and remedies under the Credit Agreements and the
other Loan Documents, applicable law, or otherwise. Each Loan Party represents
and warrants that as of the date hereof, it is not aware of (a) any existing
Event of Default other than the Specified Default, and (b) any prospective Event
of Default other than the continuance of the Specified Default. Loan Parties
hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the November Notes have matured and that
all Obligations and Guaranteed Obligations thereunder are now due and payable
and are accruing interest at the default rate set forth therein; (ii) the
Obligations under the September Notes are accruing interest at the default rate
set forth therein; and (iii) that Lenders have the exercisable right to declare
the Obligations and the Guaranteed Obligations in respect of the September Notes
to be immediately due and payable under the terms of the September Credit
Agreements and the other Loan Documents based on the Specified Default, without
any need for any further notice, action, or demand and notwithstanding Section
3.2 of this Agreement or otherwise.
3.2    Forbearance. This Section 3.2 shall become effective only upon the timely
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6(b) hereof on or before
February 28, 2020.
(a)    In reliance upon the representations, warranties, and covenants of Loan
Parties contained in this Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and any documents or instruments executed in connection herewith,
each Lender agrees to forbear during the Forbearance Period from exercising its
respective rights and remedies under the Credit Agreements, the other Loan
Documents, and applicable law in respect of the Specified Default.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Exhibit 10.01

(b)    Upon the expiration or termination of the Forbearance Period, the
agreement of Lenders to forbear will automatically and without further action
terminate and be of no force and effect, it being expressly agreed that the
effect of such termination will be to permit each Lender to exercise immediately
all rights and remedies under the Credit Agreements and the other Loan Documents
and applicable law, including, but not limited to, accelerating all of the
then-unmatured Obligations and Guaranteed Obligations under the September Credit
Agreements and the other Loan Documents, in all events, without any further
notice to Loan Parties, passage of time, or forbearance of any kind.
3.3    No Waivers; Reservation of Rights.
(a)    No Lender has waived, no Lender is by this Agreement waiving, and no
Lender has any intention of waiving, any Events of Default which may be
continuing on the date hereof or on the Forbearance Effective Date or any Events
of Default which may occur after the date hereof or after the Forbearance
Effective Date, and no Lender has agreed to forbear with respect to any of its
rights or remedies concerning any Events of Default (other than, during the
Forbearance Period, the Specified Default to the extent expressly set forth
herein) occurring at any time.
(b)    Subject to, if the Forbearance Period is then applicable, Section 3.2
above (solely with respect to the Specified Default), each Lender reserves the
right, in its discretion, to exercise any or all of its rights and remedies
under the Credit Agreements and the other Loan Documents as a result of any
other Events of Default occurring at any time. No Lender has waived any of such
rights or remedies, and nothing in this Agreement, and no delay on their part in
exercising any such rights or remedies, may or will be construed as a waiver of
any such rights or remedies.
(c)    In the event that the Forbearance Effective Date has not occurred on or
before February 28, 2020, Section 3.2 (Forbearance) shall be deemed null and
void from inception and shall never become effective and the Forbearance Period
shall never begin, and notwithstanding the foregoing, the remaining provisions
of this Agreement (other than Section 3.2) shall remain effective and shall
continue in full force and effect.
3.4    Additional Events of Default. The parties hereto acknowledge, confirm,
and agree that each of: (a) any misrepresentation by any Loan Party or any
failure of any Loan Party to comply with the covenants, conditions and
agreements contained in this Agreement; and (b) breach by the Company of any of
its obligations under the Common Stock Purchase Warrants issued by the Company
to the holders of the September Notes on September 10, 2019 (the “September
Warrants”) or the Common Stock Purchase Warrants issued by the Company to the
holders of the November Notes on November 14, 2019 (the “November Warrants”,
together with the September Warrants, the “Warrants”), each as amended as
contemplated by Section 6(b)(i) hereof, will constitute an immediate default
under this Agreement and an immediate Event of Default under the Credit
Agreements and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the existence of the
Forbearance Period, in the event that any Person, other than a Lender, at any
time exercises for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of any
present or future Event of Default, or otherwise) any of its rights or remedies
against any Loan Party or

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Exhibit 10.01

any other obligor providing credit support for the Obligations and Guaranteed
Obligations, or against any Loan Party's or such other obligor's properties or
assets, in each case, of the type that would constitute an Event of Default
under the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreements and the other Loan
Documents, then such occurrence shall also be deemed to constitute an immediate
Event of Default hereunder and under the Credit Agreements and the other Loan
Documents.
4.    COVENANTS
4.1    Notwithstanding anything in the Credit Agreements or any other Loan
Documents to the contrary, prior to, during, and following the Forbearance
Period, Loan Parties shall comply with all limitations, restrictions, or
prohibitions that would otherwise be effective or applicable under the Credit
Agreements or any of the other Loan Documents prior to or during the continuance
of any Event of Default, and any right or action of any Loan Party set forth in
the Credit Agreements or the other Loan Documents that is conditioned on the
absence of any Event of Default may not be exercised or taken as a result of the
Specified Default.

interest, fees, and expenses) and such late fee to become fully due and payable
in cash or other immediately available funds on the last day of the Forbearance
Period, to be allocated among the Lenders pro rata based on the amount of the
Obligations payable to them; the payment or acceptance of such amount shall not
in any event constitute an agreement to any postponement of the maturity or due
date of any Obligation.
4.5 The Company shall pay on or prior to the earliest to occur of (a) April 19,
2020; or (b) the last day of the Forbearance Period, in cash or immediately

each Lender and each Lender's employees, agents, representatives, consultants,
attorneys, fiduciaries, servants, officers, directors, partners, predecessors,

Parties"), from any and all action and causes of action, judgments, executions,
suits, debts, claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, damages and expenses of
any and every character, known or unknown, direct and/or indirect, at law or in
equity, of whatsoever kind or nature, whether heretofore or hereafter arising,

satisfaction of all or any alleged injuries or damages arising in connection
with the Released Matters. Each Loan Party represents and warrants to Lenders
that it has not purported to transfer, assign or otherwise convey any right,
title or interest of such Loan Party in any Released Matter to any other Person
and that the foregoing constitutes a full and complete release of all Released
Matters.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Exhibit 10.01

(b) Each Loan Party understands, acknowledges, and agrees that the release set
forth above may be pleaded as a full and complete defense to any Released Matter
and may be used as a basis for an injunction against any action, suit, or other
proceeding which may be instituted, prosecuted, or attempted in breach of the
provisions of such release.

transaction which could now be asserted or which may hereafter be discovered
will affect in any manner the final, absolute, and unconditional nature of the
release set forth above.

and all rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides

party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of
executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially
affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party."
By entering into this Agreement, each Loan Party recognizes that no facts or
representations are ever absolutely certain and it may hereafter discover facts
in addition to or different from those which it presently knows or believes to
be true, but that it is the intention of such Loan Party hereby to fully,
finally and forever settle and release all matters, disputes and differences,
known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected; accordingly, if such Loan Party
should subsequently discover that any fact that it relied upon in entering into
this Agreement was untrue, or that any understanding of the facts was incorrect,
such Loan Party shall not be entitled to set aside this Agreement or any release
contained herein by reason thereof, regardless of any claim of mistake of fact
or law or any other circumstances whatsoever. Each Loan Party acknowledges that
it is not relying upon and has not relied upon any representation or statement
made by Lenders with respect to the facts underlying this Agreement or with
regard to any of such party's rights or asserted rights.
The release set forth in this Agreement may be pleaded as a full and complete
defense and/or as a cross-complaint or counterclaim against any action, suit, or
other proceeding that may be instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of
this release. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the release contained in this
Agreement constitutes a material inducement to Lenders to enter into this
Agreement and that no Lender would have done so but for such Lender's
expectation that such release is valid and enforceable in all events.
7.7    Covenant Not to Sue. Each Loan Party hereby absolutely, unconditionally
and irrevocably covenants and agrees with and in favor of each Released Party
that it will not sue (at law, in equity, in any regulatory proceeding, or
otherwise) any Released Party on the basis of any Released Matter released,
remised, and discharged by such Loan Party pursuant to Section 7.6 above. If any
Loan Party violates the foregoing covenant, each Loan Party , for itself and its
successors and assigns, and its present and former members, managers,
shareholders, affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, predecessors, directors,
officers, attorneys, employees, agents, legal representatives,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Exhibit 10.01

and other representatives, agrees to pay, in addition to such other damages as
any Released Party may sustain as a result of such violation, all attorneys'
fees and costs incurred by any Released Party as a result of such violation.
7.8    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable will not impair or
invalidate the remainder of this Agreement.
7.9    Reviewed by Attorneys. Each Loan Party represents and warrants to Lenders
that it (a) understands fully the terms of this Agreement and the consequences
of the execution and delivery of this Agreement; (b) has been afforded an
opportunity to discuss this Agreement with, and have this Agreement reviewed by,
such attorneys and other persons as such Loan Party may wish; and (c) has
entered into this Agreement and executed and delivered all documents in
connection herewith of its own free will and accord and without threat, duress,
or other coercion of any kind by any Person. The parties hereto acknowledge and
agree that no inference in favor of, or against, any party will be drawn from
the fact that such party has drafted any portion of this Agreement, the Credit
Agreements, or any other Loan Document, as each may be amended.
7.10    Disgorgement. If any Lender is, for any reason, compelled by a court or
other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to surrender or disgorge any payment,
interest, or other consideration described hereunder to any person because the
same is determined to be void or voidable as a preference, fraudulent
conveyance, impermissible set-off or for any other reason, such indebtedness or
part thereof intended to be satisfied by virtue of such payment, interest, or
other consideration will be revived and continue as if such payment, interest,
or other consideration had not been received by such Lender, and Loan Parties
will be jointly and severally liable to, and will jointly and severally
indemnify, defend, and hold such Lender harmless for, the amount of such payment
or interest surrendered or disgorged. The provisions of this section will
survive repayment of the Obligations and Guaranteed Obligations or any
termination of any Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.
7.11    Tolling of Statute of Limitations. Each and every statute of limitations
or other applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the time by which any
Lender must commence legal proceedings or otherwise take any action against Loan
Parties with respect to any breach or default that exists on or prior to the
expiration or termination of the Forbearance Period and arises under or in
respect of the Credit Agreements or any other Loan Document shall be tolled
during the Forbearance Period. Each Loan Party agrees, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, not to include such period of time as a defense (whether
equitable or legal) to any legal proceeding or other action by any Lender in the
exercise of its rights or remedies referred to in the immediately preceding
sentence.
7.12    Relationship. Each Loan Party agrees that the relationship between it,
on one hand, and each Lender, on the other hand, under the Loan Documents is
that of creditor and debtor and not that of partners or joint venturers. This
Agreement does not constitute a partnership agreement or any other association
among the parties. Each Loan Party

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Exhibit 10.01

acknowledges that each Lender has acted at all times in connection with the Loan
Documents only as a creditor to it within the normal and usual scope of the
activities normally undertaken by a creditor and in no event has any Lender
attempted to exercise any control over it or its business or affairs. Each Loan
Party further acknowledges that no Lender has taken or failed to take any action
under or in connection with its respective rights under its respective Credit
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents that in any way, or to any extent,
has interfered with or adversely affected such Loan Party's ownership of
Collateral.
7.13     No Effect on Rights under Subordination and Intercreditor Agreements.
Lenders' agreements to forbear pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Agreement shall
not extend to any of their respective rights or remedies under any
subordination, intercreditor, or similar agreement to which such Lender is
party, it being understood that the Specified Default shall at all times
constitute an Event of Default for purposes of any and all such agreements
notwithstanding such agreement to forbear in Section 3.2 of this Agreement, and
each Lender shall at all times be permitted to enforce all rights and remedies
in respect thereof (including, without limitation, blocking payments to any
holders of subordinated obligations in accordance with the terms of such
agreements).
7.14    GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS AND
GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS.
7.15    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH LOAN PARTY AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVES ALL
RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WHICH PERTAINS DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE OBLIGATIONS, THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS,
THE COLLATERAL, ANY ALLEGED TORTIOUS CONDUCT BY ANY LOAN PARTY OR ANY LENDER OR
WHICH, IN ANY WAY, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ARISES OUT OF OR RELATES TO THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ANY LOAN PARTY AND ANY LENDER. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY LENDER
BE LIABLE FOR LOST PROFITS OR OTHER SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
7.16    Integration; Discussions. Lenders and Loan Parties have engaged in and
may seek to continue discussions and/or commence additional discussions and
negotiations regarding the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of the
Obligations, the Credit Agreements, and the Loan Documents. Whether before or
after the date hereof, any participation by any Lender in any discussions of
proposals to amend, modify, waive, or further forbear from exercising any rights
or remedies and/or any failure by Lenders to take immediate action as a result
of the Specified Default or any other Events of Default or any other default
shall not, nor shall be deemed to, constitute an agreement to forbear from the
exercise, and/or any waiver, of Lenders' rights and remedies at any time. There
has not been and shall be no agreement, commitment or other accommodation
binding

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Exhibit 10.01

upon the Lenders until and unless they have been reduced to a writing duly
executed by the applicable Lender or by SOF II in its capacity as agent for such
Lender. This Agreement constitutes the complete agreement and understanding of
each of the parties hereto, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral and
written negotiations, agreements and understandings, express or implied, with
respect to the subject matter hereof. No Lender shall be bound by any oral
communications, exchanges of proposals, discussions, correspondence or any other
communications that are not consistent with executed legal documents.

7.17    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, but
all of which counterparts together shall but one agreement. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or by
electronic mail in PDF form shall be as effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart hereof.
