RE:       Consent to Turf Business Sale (this
"Agreement")

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Reference is made
to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of July 6, 2015 (as at any time amended, modified, restated or supplemented,
the "Loan Agreement"), among MARQUIS AFFILIATED HOLDINGS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Holdings"),
MARQUIS INDUSTRIES, INC., a Georgia corporation, and successor by merger with A-O Industries, LLC, a Georgia limited liability
company, Astro Carpet Mills, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, Constellation Industries, LLC, a Georgia limited liability
company, and S F Commercial Properties, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company ("Marquis", together with Holdings,
collectively, "Borrowers" and each individually, a "Borrower"), and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A.,
a national banking association ("Lender"). Capitalized terms used in this letter agreement (this “Agreement”)
and not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

 

Borrowers have informed
Lender of Marquis’ intent to sell and dispose of its turf line of business (the “Turf Business Sale”)
to Viridian Fibers, LLC pursuant to a certain Bill of Sale and Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated December 21, 2018, between
Marquis and Viridian Fibers, LLC (the “Turf Business Bill of Sale”), for a purchase price of $5,534,085.28.
The Turf Business Sale will include the sale and disposition of certain Equipment, the Inventory described on Exhibit A
attached hereto, and the “A-O” trademark, logo and tradename and all goodwill and rights appurtenant thereto (together
with such Equipment and Inventory, collectively, the “Specified Assets”).

 

Under Section 8.4.2
of the Loan Agreement, no Borrower shall sell or otherwise dispose of any Equipment without the prior written consent of Lender,
subject to certain exceptions inapplicable in the context of the Turf Business Sale. In addition, under Section 10.2.6 of
the Loan Agreement, no Borrower may make any Asset Disposition, subject to certain exceptions inapplicable in the context of the
Turf Business Sale.

 

Borrowers have requested
that Lender consent to the sale of the Specified Assets. Lender is willing to do so on the terms and subject to the conditions
hereinafter set forth.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1.       Consent
to Sale and Disposition of Specified Assets; Release of Liens on Specified Assets. Subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 2 hereof, each in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, Lender hereby waives compliance with
Sections 8.4.2 and 10.2.6 of the Loan Agreement solely to the extent necessary to permit Marquis to sell and dispose
of the Specified

 

Assets to Viridian Fibers, LLC pursuant
to the Turf Business Sale. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2 hereof, Lender agrees to release
its Liens upon the Specified Assets (including by filing a UCC-3 amendment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C) upon
deposit of proceeds of the Turf Business Sale in an amount not less than $3,530,797.50 into the Dominion Account. The partial release
set forth in this Agreement shall not constitute a release of Lender's Lien upon any assets of Borrower other than the Specified
Assets.

	 	RE:	Seventh Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (this "Agreement")

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Reference is made to
that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of July 6, 2015 (as at any time amended, modified, restated or supplemented,
the "Loan Agreement"), among MARQUIS AFFILIATED HOLDINGS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Holdings"),
MARQUIS INDUSTRIES, INC., a Georgia corporation, and successor by merger with A-O Industries, LLC, a Georgia limited liability
company, Astro Carpet Mills, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, Constellation Industries, LLC, a Georgia limited liability
company, and S F Commercial Properties, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company ("Marquis", together with Holdings,
collectively, "Borrowers" and each individually, a "Borrower"), and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A.,
a national banking association ("Lender"). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not defined herein shall
have the meanings given to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

 

Borrowers and Lender
desire to amend the Loan Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1.       Amendments
to Loan Agreement.   The Loan Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

 

(a)       By
deleting the definitions of “Base Rate”, “Borrowing”, “EBITDA”, “Fixed Charges”,
“LIBOR”, “LIBOR Loan” and "Permitted Non-Tax Distributions" set forth in Section 1.1 of
the Loan Agreement in their entireties and by substituting in lieu thereof the following:

 

Base Rate:
for any day, a per annum rate equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate for such day; (b) the Federal Funds Rate for such day,
plus 0.50%; or (c) LIBOR for a one month interest period as of such day, plus 1.00%; provided, that in no event shall the
Base Rate be less than zero.

 

Borrowing:
a group of Loans that are made together on the same day and with the same interest option.

 

EBITDA:
determined on a consolidated basis for Borrowers and Subsidiaries, net income (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be determined
by treating rent as an operating expense), calculated before interest expense, transaction costs associated with the Transactions
not to exceed $1,000,000, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, gains or losses arising from the sale
of capital assets, gains arising from the write-up of assets, and any extraordinary gains, losses on impairment of long-lived assets
and goodwill, unrealized gains and losses resulting in changes from fair values of derivatives and financial instruments (including
changes in fair value of contingent consideration related to business combinations), directly related charges related to the consummation
of business combinations, non-cash severance and restructuring charges, gains arising from the write-up of assets, extraordinary
gains and losses (including losses and gains from extinguishment of debt) and non-recurring expenses and income which do not represent
cash items in such period (in each case, to the extent included in determining net income); provided that, notwithstanding
the foregoing, gains from the Turf Business Sale in an amount not exceeding $3,000,000 may be included in the calculation of EBITDA
for any period that includes the date on which the Turf Business Sale is consummated so long as the Turf Business Sale is consummated
on or before December 31, 2018. For purposes of this Agreement, EBITDA and its components for the 12 months prior to the Closing
Date is as shown on Exhibit A.

 

 

 

    	 	1	 

     

    

 

Fixed Charges:
the sum of interest expense (other than payment-in-kind) and principal payments made on Borrowed Money, income taxes paid in cash
and Distributions made (excluding (a) Upstream Payments, (b) Distributions made on or about the Closing Date that relate to transactions
contemplated by the Marquis SPA Documents, as in effect on the Closing Date, and (c) the Sixth Amendment Distribution).

 

LIBOR: on
any date of determination, the per annum rate of interest (rounded up to the nearest 1/8th of 1%) determined by Lender at or about
11:00 a.m. (London time) as of the first calendar day of the month in which such determination is made, for a one month term, equal
to the London interbank offered rate, or any comparable or successor rate approved by Lender, as published on the applicable Reuters
screen page (or other available source designated by Lender from time to time); provided, that any comparable or successor
rate shall be applied by Lender, if administratively feasible, in a manner consistent with market practice; and provided further,
that in no event shall LIBOR be less than zero.

 

LIBOR Loan:
a Loan that bears interest based on LIBOR.

 

Permitted Non-Tax
Distributions: Distributions by Holdings to holders of its Equity Interests so long as the following conditions are satisfied
with respect to each such Distribution: (a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred or would result from such Distribution,
(b) Lender has received the financial statements required under Section 10.1.2(a)(ii), (c) Lender has received evidence
that after giving effect to the consummation of such Distribution, Borrowers shall maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at
least 1.1 to 1.0 on a pro forma basis, measured as of the most recently ended month for which Obligors have delivered the
financial statements required under Section 10.1.2(a) or (b), as the case may be, for the twelve month period then ended,
(d) Availability on each day during the 60 day period immediately preceding such Distribution calculated on a pro forma
basis assuming such Distribution occurred on the first day of such period (including any Loans made hereunder to finance such Distribution)
shall be greater than or equal to $4,000,000, and (e) Availability, on the date of such Distribution, immediately after giving
pro forma effect to the consummation of such Distribution (including any Loans made hereunder to finance such Distribution)
shall be greater than or equal to $4,000,000.

 

(b)       By
adding the following new definition of “Turf Business Sale” to Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement in the proper
alphabetical order:

 

Turf Business
Sale: the sale by Borrowers of assets constituting Borrowers’ turf line of business pursuant to a certain Bill of Sale
and Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated December 20, 2018, between Marquis and Viridian Fibers, LLC.

 

(c)       By
deleting the definitions of “Interest Period” and “Notice of Conversion/Continuation” in Section 1.1
of the Loan Agreement in their entireties.

 

(d)       By
deleting the references to “Base Rate Revolver Loans” in Section 2.3.2 of the Loan Agreement and by substituting
in lieu thereof, in each case, a reference to “Revolver Loans”.

 

(e)       By
deleting the first sentence of Section 3.1.1(a) of the Loan Agreement and by substituting in lieu thereof the following:

 

The Obligations shall bear
interest at LIBOR, plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans (or, if LIBOR is not available for any reason, at the Base Rate in
effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans).

 

(f)       By
deleting clause (i) of Section 3.1.1(c) of the Loan Agreement and by substituting in lieu thereof the following:

 

(i) on the first day of each
month;

 

(g)       By
deleting Section 3.1.2, 3.1.3 and 3.1.4 of the Loan Agreement in their entireties and by substituting in lieu
thereof the following:

 

3.1.2.       [Reserved]

 

 

 

    	 	2	 

     

    

 

3.1.3.       [Reserved]

 

3.1.4.       Interest
Rate Not Ascertainable. If, due to any circumstance affecting the London interbank market, Lender determines that adequate
and fair means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR on any applicable date on the basis provided herein, then Lender shall immediately
notify Borrowers of such determination. Until Lender notifies Borrowers that such circumstance no longer exists, the obligation
of Lender to make LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, no further Loans may be made as LIBOR Loans, and all Loans shall constitute Base
Rate Loans.

 

(h)       By
deleting the reference to “, 3.9” in Section 3.3 of the Loan Agreement.

 

(i)       By
deleting Sections 3.5 and 3.6 of the Loan Agreement in its entirety and by substituting in lieu thereof the following:

 

3.5       Illegality.
If Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful,
for Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder, to make, maintain, fund or charge applicable interest or fees with respect
to any Loan or Letter of Credit, or to determine or charge interest based on LIBOR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material
restrictions on the authority of Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then,
on notice thereof by Lender to Borrower Agent, any obligation of Lender to perform such obligations, to make, maintain or fund
such Loan or issue such Letter of Credit (or to charge interest or fees otherwise applicable thereto), or to continue as a LIBOR
Loan, shall be suspended until Lender notifies Borrower Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer
exist. Upon delivery of such notice, all Loans shall bear interest as specified in Section 3.1.

 

3.6       Inability
to Determine Rates. Lender will promptly notify Borrower Agent if, in connection with any Loan or request with respect
to a Loan, Lender determines for any reason that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank
Eurodollar market for the applicable Loan amount; (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR for the
Loan (including with respect to calculation of the Base Rate); or (c) LIBOR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to
Lender of funding or maintaining the Loan. Thereafter, Lender's obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans and utilization of the
LIBOR component in determining Base Rate shall be suspended until Lender withdraws the notice. Upon receipt of the notice, Borrower
Agent may revoke any pending request for funding, conversion or continuation of a LIBOR Loan or, failing that, will be deemed to
have requested a Base Rate Loan, and Lender may immediately convert any LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Lender may propose an alternative interest rate for the applicable Loan, which Borrower Agent may elect to apply to the Loan.

 

(j)       By
deleting the phrase “converting to or continuing” from the last clause of Section 3.7.1 of the Loan Agreement.

 

(k)       By
deleting Section 3.9 of the Loan Agreement in its entirety and by substituting in lieu thereof the following:

 

3.9       [Reserved]

 

(l)       By
deleting Section 4.1.1(a) of the Loan Agreement in its entirety and by substituting in lieu thereof the following:

 

(a)       To
request a Loan, Borrower Agent shall give Lender a Notice of Borrowing by 11:00 a.m. on the requested funding date. Notices received
by Lender after such time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and
shall specify (A) the Borrowing amount and (B) the requested funding date (which must be a Business Day).

 

(m)       By
deleting the references to “Base Rate Revolver Loan” in Section 4.1.1(b) and (c) of the Loan Agreement
and by substituting in lieu thereof, in each case, a reference to “Revolver Loan”.

 

 

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

(n)       By
deleting the phrase “or Notice of Continuation/Conversion, if applicable,” from Section 4.1.2 of the Loan Agreement.

 

(o)       By
deleting Section 4.2 of the Loan Agreement in its entirety.

 

4.2.       [Reserved]

 

(p)       By
deleting the third sentence of Section 5.1 of the Loan Agreement in its entirety, and by deleting the phrase “, but
whenever possible, any prepayment of Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to LIBOR Loans” from the last
sentence of such section.

 

(q)       By
deleting Section 10.2.17 of the Loan Agreement in its entirety and by substituting in lieu thereof the following:

 

10.2.17. Affiliate
Transactions. Enter into or be party to any transaction with an Affiliate, except (a) transactions contemplated by the Loan
Documents or the Marquis SPA Documents; (b) payment of reasonable compensation to officers and employees for services actually
rendered, and loans and advances permitted by Section 10.2.7; (c) payment of customary directors' fees and indemnities;
(d) transactions solely among Borrowers; (e) transactions with Affiliates consummated prior to the Closing Date, as shown on Schedule
10.2.17; (f) payment by Holdings to Live or an Affiliate of Live of management fees in an amount not exceeding $150,000 in
any Fiscal Quarter; and (g) transactions with Affiliates in the Ordinary Course of Business, upon fair and reasonable terms fully
disclosed to Lender and no less favorable than would be obtained in a comparable arm's-length transaction with a non-Affiliate.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall any Borrower or any Subsidiary make any loans or other
advances of money to Marquis SPE at any time.

 

(r)       By
adding the following new Section 10.2.20 to the Loan Agreement immediately after Section 10.2.19 thereof:

 

10.2.20. Management
Fees. Pay any management or similar fees to any Person other than payments described in Section 10.2.17(f) and made
in accordance therewith, or amend or otherwise modify any agreement with any Person governing the payment by any Borrower of management
or similar fees.

deleting the reference to “3.1.2,” in Section 12.3.1 of the Loan Agreement.

 

(t)       By
deleting the reference to “Base Rate Revolver Loans” in Section 12.4 of the Loan Agreement and by substituting

Borrower hereby ratifies and reaffirms the Obligations, the Loan Agreement, each of the other Loan Documents and all of such Borrower's
