 WHEREAS, the Loan Parties, the Agent and the Lender from time-to-time party thereto are parties to that certain Loan Agreement dated as of July 19, 2021 (as amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”);
  
 WHEREAS, an Event of Default as a result of (i) the Loan Parties’ failure to deliver to Agent the audited annual financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Year ending July 31, 2022, on or before ninety (90) days after the end of such Fiscal Year in accordance with Section 7.2(c) of the Loan Agreement, has occurred and is continuing (the “First Specified Default”) and (ii) the Agent being informed that the Loan Parties anticipate that it will fail to deliver the quarterly financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2022, in form and substance acceptable to Agent, on or before forty- five (45) days after the end of such fiscal quarter, in accordance with Section 7.2(b) (the “Second Specified Default”, and together with the First Specified Default, the “Specified Defaults”); and
  
 WHEREAS, the Loan Parties have requested that the Agent and the Lender waive the Specified Default and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Waiver, the Agent and the Lender are willing to waive the Specified Default on a limited basis.
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
  
 1. Limited Waiver.
  
 a. Effective as of the Waiver Effective Date (as defined herein), upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 hereof, the Agent and the Lender each hereby waive the Specified Defaults on a limited one-time basis subject to the terms and conditions hereof and solely until, (i) with respect to the First Specified Default, 5:00 PM EST on December 30, 2022, and (ii) with respect to the Second Specified Default, 5:00 PM EST on January 13, 2023 (the “Waiver Period”); provided that if the Loan Parties do not deliver each of the Amended Deliverables (as hereinafter defined) on or before expiration of their respective Waiver Period; this waiver shall no longer be of any effect, and the Lenders shall be entitled to enforce all remedies set forth in the Loan Agreement as of the date each Specified Default first occurred, including but not limited to imposition of default interest retroactively to the date of such Specified Default.
