notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any Contractual Obligation of Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent that any such conflicts, breaches or defaults could not singly or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have

Person under any Contractual Obligation of Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except for such approvals or consents that were obtained on or before the date hereof and disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent except for any such approvals
or consents the failure of which to obtain could not singly or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; 
 (e) this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, and the Security Agreement, as amended hereby, each constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party, enforceable against such Person in accordance with

respects ratified and confirmed. 
 (d) Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement and no action by, or

 Section 7. Amendments; Successors and Assigns.

 Section 8. Agreement Not a Defense. 
 Each Credit Party agrees that, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the agreements of the Agents and Lenders under this Agreement shall

agreement or document relating thereto (and including rights, powers and remedies at law, in equity or by statute).

contained in this Agreement, each Credit Party hereby irrevocably releases and forever discharge each of the Agents, Lenders, and their respective affiliates, subsidiaries, successors, assigns, directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants and
attorneys (each, a “Released Person”) of and from any and all claims, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings or demands, whether based in contract, tort, implied or express warranty, strict liability, criminal or civil statute
or common law of any kind or character, which such Credit Party ever had or now has against any Agent, any Lender or any other Released Person which relates, directly or indirectly, to any acts or omissions of any Agent, any Lender or any other
Released Person relating to the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document on or prior to the date hereof and actually known to such Credit Party as of the date hereof (it being understood and agreed that nothing herein shall affect the continued
effectiveness of the indemnity provisions set forth in Section 10.3 of the Credit Agreement). 
 (e) No Waiver, Etc. Except as
otherwise expressly set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be deemed or construed to extend to or affect in any way any of the Obligations or any of the rights and remedies of any Agent or any Lender arising under the
Credit Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or applicable law. The failure of any Agent or any Lender at any time or times hereafter to require strict performance by any Credit Party or any other Person obligated under any Credit Document of
any of the respective provisions, warranties, terms and conditions contained herein or therein shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of such Person at any time or times thereafter to demand strict performance thereof; and no rights of any
Agent or any Lender hereunder shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge of such Person, or any of its agents, attorneys, officers or employees, unless such waiver is contained in an instrument in writing signed by an authorized
officer of such Person and specifying such waiver. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no waiver by any Agent or any Lender of any of its rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver of any other of its rights or remedies or any of its
rights or remedies on a future occasion at any time and from time to time. All terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents remain in full force and effect, except to the extent expressly modified by this
Agreement. 
 (f) Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any
number of separate counterparts, and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Any party hereto may execute and deliver a counterpart of this Agreement by delivering by facsimile transmission
or electronic mail in portable document format a signature page of this Agreement signed by such party, and such signature shall be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature. 
 (g) Acknowledgment of Legal Counsel; Drafting of Agreement. Each Credit Party represents and warrants that it is represented by legal counsel of
its choice, is fully aware of the terms contained in this Agreement and has voluntarily and without coercion or duress of any kind whatsoever, entered into this Agreement and the agreements, documents and instruments, if any, executed in connection
with this Agreement. Each Credit Party further represents and warrants and acknowledges and agrees that it has participated in the drafting of this Agreement. 
  

 15 

 (h) Severability. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision in or obligation
under this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations under this Agreement or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction. 
 (i) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. No Person other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns and any other Lender shall have rights hereunder or be entitled to rely on this Agreement, and all third-party beneficiary rights are hereby
expressly disclaimed. 
 (j) Section Titles. The section and subsection titles contained in this Agreement are included for
convenience only, shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever, and are not a part of the agreement between the Agents and the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties on the other hand. Any reference in this

 WHEREAS, Requisite Lenders are willing, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth,

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the covenants

 Section 1. Waiver. 
 (a)
Waiver. Subject to Section 1(c) below, Requisite Lenders hereby waive the provisions of Section 10.6 of the Credit Agreement that would otherwise restrict or prohibit the Sponsor Purchase Transaction; provided,
however, that the effectiveness of the foregoing waiver is subject to the following conditions: 
 (i) the Exchange
(including, without limitation, the cancellation of the Selling Lender Loan) is consummated on the Second Amendment Effective Date immediately following the Loan Purchase, and all accrued and unpaid interest (including any PIK Interest) on the
aggregate principal par amount of the Selling Lender Loan (“Accrued Interest”) in an aggregate amount equal to $703,836.48 is paid in cash by Borrower on the Second Amendment Effective Date; 
 (ii) the Preferred Stock is issued in accordance with the terms set forth in the Certificate of Designations (as in effect on the date
hereof), accrues and cumulates dividends quarterly at a rate not to exceed 14.375% per annum (plus any applicable penalty or default rate required pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations (as in effect on the date hereof or as
amended from time to time as permitted pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby)) and does not require any cash dividends or distributions thereon, cash payments in respect thereof or mandatory redemptions of the Preferred
Stock at any time prior to January 23, 2014 (except in connection with a Fundamental Change (as such term is defined in the Certificate of Designations (as in effect on the date hereof or as amended from time to time as permitted pursuant to
the terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby) that will result in the Obligations being paid in full in cash); and 
 (iii) the Warrants do not contain any put rights or otherwise require any mandatory redemptions at any time prior to January 23, 2014 (except in connection with a Fundamental Change (as such term is defined in the Certificate of
Designations (as in effect on the date hereof or as amended from time to time as permitted pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby) that will result in the Obligations being paid in full in cash). 
 In addition, solely for the purpose of consummating the Sponsor Purchase Transaction in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Credit Agreement, (a) each Permitted Holder shall be an Eligible Assignee solely for purposes of consummating the Sponsor Purchase Transaction, (b) the provisions of
Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by any Permitted Holders pursuant to and in accordance with the 

  

 3 

 
express terms of this Agreement or (ii) any payment obtained by Selling Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of the Selling Lender Loan
pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, and (c) Accrued Interest in an amount equal to $703,836.48 shall be paid in cash by Borrower to Selling Lender on the Second Amendment Effective Date. 
 (b) Sponsor Purchase Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, the Sponsor Purchase Transaction (i) shall not constitute a payment or
prepayment pursuant to Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 2.14, Section 2.15, Section 2.16 or Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement or for any other purpose under the Credit Agreement and (ii) shall reduce the
amount outstanding and due and payable on the Maturity Date (and such reduction, for the avoidance of doubt, shall only apply (on a non-pro rata basis) to the Selling Lender Loan). 
 From and after the Second Amendment Effective Date, following the consummation of the Exchange, (i) no interest shall accrue on the Selling Lender
Loan and (ii) the Selling Lender Loan shall, for all purposes under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents (notwithstanding any provisions therein to the contrary), and without further action by any Person, be automatically
cancelled for all purposes and deemed no longer outstanding, from and after which time, the Selling Lender Loan may not be resold, transferred, assigned or participated out by any Permitted Holder, including, but not limited to, in relation to
(a) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, (b) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under the Credit
Agreement or any other Credit Document, (c) the transfer of any rights to Borrower as a Lender under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document or (d) the determination of Requisite Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose,
under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document. 
 (c) Limitation on Waiver. The waiver set forth in this Section 1
shall be limited precisely as written and relate solely to the waiver of the provisions of the Credit Agreement in the manner and to the extent described in Sections 1(a) and 1(b) above, and nothing in this Agreement, nor any actions taken or not
taken by any Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, shall or shall be deemed to: 
 (i)
constitute a waiver of compliance by Borrower or any other Credit Party with respect to any other term, provision or condition of the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein; or

 (ii) prejudice any right or remedy that any Agent or Lender may now have or may have in the future under or in connection
with the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein. 
 Except as expressly set
forth herein, the terms, provisions and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall remain in full force and effect and in all other respects are hereby ratified and confirmed.

 ANNEX 1 
 STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR BORROWER 
 ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE 
 1. Representations and Warranties. 
 1.1
Assignor. Assignor (a) represents and warrants that (i) it is the legal and beneficial owner of the Assigned Interest, (ii) the Assigned Interest is, and on the Effective Date will be, free and clear of any lien, encumbrance or
other adverse claim, (iii) it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Assignment and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iv) it has received a copy of the Credit
Agreement, the Amendment and Waiver and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own decision to enter into this Assignment and to sell and assign the Assigned Interest on the basis of which it has made such
decision; and (b) assumes no responsibility with respect to (i) any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Credit Document (as defined below), (ii) the execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Credit Agreement or any other instrument or document delivered pursuant thereto, other than this Assignment (herein collectively the “Credit Documents”), or any collateral
thereunder, (iii) the financial condition of Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any other Person obligated in respect of any Credit Document or (iv) the performance or observance by Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any
other Person of any of their respective obligations under any Credit Document. Assignor will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by Administrative Agent or Assignee to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale,
assignment and transfer of the Assigned Interest. In the event that Assignor has determined for itself to not access any information disclosed by Assignee in connection with this Assignment, Assignor acknowledges that (a) other Lenders may have
availed themselves of such information and (b) none of Borrower, Assignee or Administrative Agent has any responsibility for Assignor’s decision to limit the scope of the information it has obtained in connection with its evaluation of the
transactions contemplated by this Assignment or its decision to enter into this Assignment. 
 1.2 Assignee. Assignee
(a) represents and warrants that (i) it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Assignment and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to become a Lender under the Credit
Agreement until such time as the Loans are exchanged for Preferred Stock and automatically cancelled without further action by any Person on the Effective Date, (ii) it meets the requirements of an Eligible Assignee under the Credit Agreement
(as amended or otherwise modified by the Amendment and Waiver), (iii) it has transmitted same day funds to Assignor on the Effective Date, and (iv) it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement, the Amendment and Waiver and such other
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Assignment and to purchase the Assigned Interest on the basis of which it has made such analysis and decision; (b) agrees
that it will, independently and without reliance on Administrative Agent, Assignor or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at that time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not
taking action under the Credit Documents; and (c) acknowledges that the Assigned Interest shall, from and after the Effective Date, immediately 

 
following the exchange of such Assigned Interest for Preferred Stock (which exchange shall occur substantially concurrently with the assignment and
assumption contemplated hereby) and without further action by any Person, be deemed cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding and that Assignee shall have no ability to vote or receive payments in respect of the Assigned Interest.

 1.3 No Violation of Laws. Each of Assignor and Assignee acknowledges that it has not violated any applicable laws relating to this
Assignment or the transactions contemplated herein. 
 2. Payments. Payment to Assignor by Assignee in respect of the settlement of the assignment of
the Assigned Interest shall be paid by Assignee directly to Assignor (other than all unpaid interest (including any PIK Interest) that has accrued in respect of the Assigned Interest through the Effective Date, which shall be paid in cash by
Borrower to Assignor on the Effective Date in accordance with Section 1(a)(i) of the Amendment and Waiver). For the avoidance of doubt, no interest under the Credit Agreement shall accrue with respect to the Assigned Interest from and after the
Effective Date and such Assigned Interest shall, from and after the Effective Date, immediately following the exchange of such Assigned Interest for Preferred Stock (which exchange shall occur substantially concurrently with the assignment and
assumption contemplated hereby) and without further action by any Person, be deemed cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding.

instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Assignment by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Assignment. This Assignment shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of laws principles thereof.
