AGREEMENT


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the foregoing and the mutual covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency

Limited Waiver. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2 of this Waiver, Agent
(at the direction of the Lenders) and the Lenders party hereto (constituting the Required Lenders) hereby grant the Requested Waiver;
provided, that the 2020 Financials, the 2020 Accountant’s Certificate, the 2020 Compliance Certificate, the BoA Financials, the
BoA Accountant’s Certificate and the BoA Compliance Certificate are delivered to the Administrative Agent, for delivery to the Lenders
on or before April 20, 2021 (or such later date to which the Required Lenders may agree in writing, which shall include, for the avoidance
of doubt, written confirmation by e-mail); provided, further, that the foregoing waiver shall be effective only to the extent
specifically set forth herein and shall not (a) be construed as a consent to or waiver of (i) any breach, Default or Event of Default
other than as specifically waived herein, or (ii) any breach, Default or Event of Default of which Agent or any of the Lenders have not
been informed by any Loan Party, (b) affect the right of Agent or any of the Lenders to demand compliance by each Loan Party with all
terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents, except as specifically consented to, modified or waived by the terms

the other Loan Documents, or applicable law, whether arising as a consequence of any Default or Event of Default which may now exist or
otherwise, and Agent and each of the Lenders hereby reserve all of such rights and remedies. Upon the expiration of the Requested Waiver,
each Acknowledged Default, to the extent not cured prior to the expiration of the Requested Waiver, shall constitute an immediate Event
of Default under the Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during the period
in which the Requested Waiver is in effect, to the extent any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is qualified
by, or requires the absence of, any Default, a Default shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of such provisions as a result of
the Acknowledged Defaults notwithstanding the Requested Waiver.


 






    


     


    

 


2.             
Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness of this Waiver. This Waiver shall not become effective until all of the following
conditions precedent shall have been satisfied in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders:


 


(a)              
Agent shall have received fully executed counterparts to this Waiver, in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Lenders.

shall have been satisfied.


 


3.             
Release.


 


In consideration of the Lenders’
willingness to enter into this Limited Waiver, each Loan Party hereby releases and forever discharges the Agent and each Lender and the
Agent’s and each Lender’s respective predecessors, successors, assigns, officers, managers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys, representatives, and affiliates (hereinafter all of the above collectively referred to as the “Bank Group”),
from any and all claims, counterclaims, demands, damages, debts, suits, liabilities, actions and causes of action of any nature whatsoever,
including, without limitation, all claims, demands, and causes of action for contribution and indemnity, whether arising at law or in
equity, whether known or unknown, whether liability be direct or indirect, liquidated or unliquidated, whether absolute or contingent,
foreseen or unforeseen, and whether or not heretofore asserted, which any Loan Party may have or claim to have against any of the Bank
Group in any way related to or connected with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby.


 


4.             
Representations and Warranties. The Borrower represents and warrants as follows:


 


(a)              
Authority. The Borrower has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Waiver, and to perform
its obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents (as amended or modified hereby) to which it is a party. The execution, delivery
and performance by the Borrower of this Waiver have been duly approved by all necessary corporate action, have received all necessary
governmental approval, if any, and do not contravene (i) any material provision of any law or (ii) where such contravention could individually
or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, any material contractual restriction binding on the
Borrower. No other corporate proceedings are necessary to consummate such transactions.


 


(b)              
Enforceability. This Waiver has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower. This Waiver and each Loan Document (as
amended or modified hereby) are the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance
with their respective terms, and are in full force and effect.


 






    


     


    

 


(c)              
Representations and Warranties. Immediately after giving effect to the terms of this Waiver, the representations and warranties
contained in each Loan Document (other than any such representations or warranties that, by their terms, are specifically made as of a
date other than the date hereof) are true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable
to any portion of any representation and warranty that is already qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) on and as
of the date hereof as though made on and as of the date hereof.


 


5.             
No Default. Immediately after giving effect to the terms of this Waiver, no event has occurred and is continuing that constitutes
a Default or Event of Default.


 


6.
