			(ii)As used herein, the term “Waiver Period” shall mean the period beginning on the Second Amendment Effective Date and ending on the earliest to occur of (the occurrence of clause (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Waiver Period Termination Event”): (i) the occurrence of any Event of Default under subsection 7.01(h) or 7.01(i) of the Credit Agreement (a “Bankruptcy Default”), (ii) the occurrence of any Waiver Period Default (as hereinafter defined), and (iii) 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on May 29, 2020.  As used herein, the term “Waiver Period Default” shall mean (A) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default other than the Specified Defaults, (B) the failure of Borrower or any other Loan Party to comply timely with any term, condition, or covenant set forth in this Amendment, including, without limitation, as set forth in Section 2(c) hereof, (C) the failure of any representation or warranty made by Borrower or any other Loan Party under or in connection with this Amendment to be true and complete in all material respects as of the date when made or any other breach of any such representation or warranty, (D) any occurrence, event or change in facts or circumstances occurring on or after the Second Amendment Effective Date that would have a Material Adverse Effect, other than the potential impact associated with the COVID-19 pandemic (the breadth and extent of which are unknown as of the date hereof), (E) the repudiation and/or assertion of any defense by any Loan Party with respect to this Amendment or any Loan Document or the pursuit of any claim by any Loan Party against any Agent, any Lender or any Indemnitee, (F) the termination or expiration of any other waiver or forbearance granted by another creditor of the Loan Parties, including, but not limited to, with respect to the First Lien Credit Agreement and the PNC Securitization Documents. (G) the Restructuring Term Sheet failing to be in a form acceptable to the Agent on or prior to 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on May 11, 2020 or (H) the occurrence of any “Event of Termination” (or other similar term) (as defined in the PNC Receivables Purchase Agreement) or any other event or condition occurs that enables or permits (with all applicable grace periods having expired) the holder or holders of the PNC Securitization or any trustee or agent on its or their behalf to terminate the PNC Securitization or cause the PNC Securitization to become due, or to require the prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof (regardless of whether such Event of Termination has been waived or cured).  Any Waiver Period Default shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents.
		

		
			(iii)Upon the occurrence of a Waiver Period Termination Event, the agreement of the Lender Parties hereunder to waive and forbear from exercising their respective default-related rights and remedies shall immediately terminate without the requirement of any demand, presentment, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which Borrower and the other Loan Parties each waives.  Borrower and the other Loan Parties each agrees that any or all of the Lender Parties may at any time thereafter proceed to exercise any and all of their respective rights and remedies under any or all of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or applicable law, including, without limitation, their respective rights and remedies with respect to the Specified Defaults, and for avoidance of doubt, each of the Specified Defaults shall be deemed to have occurred and be continuing (and unwaived) as of the date such Specified Default occurred (without giving effect to the temporary waiver and forbearance provisions of this Agreement).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Waiver Period Termination Event, the Lender Parties may, in their sole discretion and without the requirement of any demand, presentment, protest, or notice of any kind, (i)  suspend or terminate any commitment to provide Loans or other extensions of credit under any or all of the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, (ii) charge interest on any or all of the Obligations at the Default Rate, effective from and after the date of the first Specified Default to occur on a retroactive basis, (iii) commence any legal or other action to collect any or all of the Obligations from Borrower, any other Loan Party and/or any Collateral, (iv) foreclose or otherwise realize on any or all of the Collateral, and/or appropriate, setoff or apply to the payment of any or all of the Obligations, any or all of the Collateral, and (v) take any other enforcement action or otherwise exercise any or all rights and remedies 


		 




provided for by any or all of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Documents and/or applicable law, all of which rights and remedies are fully reserved by the Lender Parties.
		

		
			(iv)Any agreement by the Lender Parties to extend the Waiver Period, if any, must be set forth in writing and signed by a duly authorized signatory of each of the Agent and the Required Lenders.
		

		
			(v)Borrower and the other Loan Parties each acknowledge that the Lender Parties have not made any assurances concerning (i) any possibility of an extension of the Waiver Period, (ii) the manner in which or whether the Specified Defaults may be resolved or (iii) any additional forbearance, waiver, restructuring or other accommodations.
		

		
			(vi)The parties hereto agree that the running of all statutes of limitation and the doctrine of laches applicable to all claims or causes of action that any Lender Party may be entitled to take or bring in order to enforce its rights and remedies against Borrower or any other Loan Party are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, tolled and suspended during the Waiver Period.
		

		
			(vii)Borrower and the other Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that any Loan or other financial accommodation that any Lender Party makes on or after the Second Amendment Effective Date has been made by such party in reliance upon, and is consideration for, among other things, the general releases and indemnities contained in Section 7 hereof, the amendments to the Credit Agreement contained in Section 1 hereof and the other covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereunder.
		

		
			(c)Supplemental Terms, Conditions and Covenants During the Temporary Waiver Period.  The Borrower and Loan Parties hereto hereby agree to comply with the following terms, conditions and covenants during the Waiver Period, in each case notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Amendment, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document:

			SECTION 3.Representations and Warranties of Borrower.  In order to induce the Lender Parties signatory hereto to enter into this Amendment, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants that:
		

		
			(a)Organization; Power; Qualification.  The Borrower and each of the Subsidiaries (a) is a limited liability company, unlimited liability company, corporation or partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (or, if applicable in a foreign jurisdiction, enjoys the equivalent status under the laws of any jurisdiction of organization outside the United States) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has all requisite corporate or other organizational power and authority to own its property and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (c) is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction and licensed and, as applicable, in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where such qualification or license or, if applicable, good standing is required, except where the failure so to qualify would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (d) has the corporate or other organizational power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Amendment, each of the Loan Documents and each other agreement or instrument contemplated thereby to which it is or will be a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow and otherwise obtain credit under the Credit Agreement and (e) has all requisite governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals to own its property and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
		

		
			(b)Authorization; Enforceability.  The Borrower and each of the Loan Parties has the power and has taken all necessary action, corporate or otherwise, to authorize it to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under this Amendment and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.  This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and each of the Loan Parties, and this Amendment (and the Credit Agreement as modified hereby) is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower and each of the Loan Parties, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing.
		

		
			(c)No Conflicts, Etc.  The execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment in accordance with its terms and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) violate (A) any provision of law, statute, rule or regulation, (B) the certificate or articles of incorporation or other constitutive documents (including any limited liability company or operating agreements) or by-laws of the Borrower or any other Loan Parties, (C) any applicable order of any court or any rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority or (D) any provision of any indenture, certificate of designation for preferred stock, agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower or any other Loan Party is a party or by which any of them or any of their property is or may be bound, or (ii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with any assets or property of Borrower or any Loan Party.

For the purposes of this Section 3(d), the amount of any contingent liability at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.
