specifically amended or otherwise modified by this Agreement, are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed. 
 (c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Agents under any of the Credit
Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Credit Documents. The Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents are in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed. 
 (d) Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement and no action by, or inaction on the part of, any Lender or the Agent
shall, or shall be deemed to, directly or indirectly constitute a consent to or waiver of any past, present or future violation of any provisions of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document. 
 (e) This Agreement is a Credit Document. 
 Section 9. Amendments; Successors and Assigns. 
 No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Requisite Lenders and, in the case of any such
amendment or modification, each of the Credit Parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of
Lenders. No Credit Party’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated to any other Person by any Credit Party without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the
Requisite Lenders. 
 Section 10. Tolling of Statute of Limitations. 
 Each and every statute of limitations or other applicable law, rule or regulation governing the time by which any Agent or any Lender must commence legal
proceedings or 

  

 34 

 
otherwise take any action with respect to exercising any of its respective rights, powers or remedies directly or indirectly against the Credit Parties with
respect to any breach or default existing on or prior to the Forbearance Termination Date, including, without limitation, actions under or in respect of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, shall be tolled while this Agreement
is effective. Each Credit Party agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, not to include such period of time in any assertion by it at any time that a statute of limitations or other applicable law, rule or regulation bars or otherwise acts as
a defense (whether equitable or legal) to any legal proceeding or other action by any Agent or any Lender in exercise of its respective rights, powers or remedies, directly or indirectly, with respect to any or all of the breaches or defaults
referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. 
 Section 11. Agreement Not a Defense. 
 Each Credit Party agrees that, subject to the Forbearance, the waiver of the Designated Defaults set forth in Section 3 hereof and the other
terms and provisions of this Agreement, the agreements of the Agents and Lenders under this Agreement shall not constitute a defense by the Credit Parties to the exercise by any Agent or any Lender of any right, power or remedy which such Person may
have under or in respect of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents and any other agreement or document relating thereto (and including rights, powers and remedies at law, in equity or by statute). 
 Section 12. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION. 
 (a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT
REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF. 
 (b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY CREDIT
PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH CREDIT PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION
WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (A) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; (B) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH
PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 10.1 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT; (D) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS
PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (C) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT; AND (E) AGREES
THAT AGENTS AND LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. 
  

 35 

 SECTION 13. Miscellaneous. 
 (a) Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time upon the request of Administrative Agent, each Credit Party will, at its expense, promptly
execute, acknowledge and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to effect fully the purposes of this Agreement. 
 (b) Consent of Guarantors. Each of the Guarantors of the Obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement that is a party to this Agreement
hereby (a) consents to the terms and provisions hereof, (b) acknowledges that notwithstanding the execution and delivery hereof, the obligations of each of such Guarantor are not impaired or affected and its Guaranty continues in full
force and effect, and (c) ratifies, confirms and reaffirms its Guaranty and each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party. 
 (c)
Reaffirmation. Each of the Credit Parties as debtor, grantor, pledgor, guarantor, assignor, or in other any other similar capacity in which such Credit Party grants liens or security interests in its property or otherwise acts as
accommodation party or guarantor, as the case may be, hereby (i) ratifies and reaffirms all of its payment and performance obligations, contingent or otherwise, under each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party (after giving effect
hereto) and (ii) to the extent such Credit Party granted liens on or security interests in any of its property pursuant to any such Credit Document as security for or otherwise guaranteed the Company’s Obligations under or with respect to
the Credit Documents, ratifies and reaffirms such guarantee and grant of security interests and liens and confirms and agrees that such security interests and liens hereafter secure all of the Obligations as amended hereby. 
 (d) Release of Claims. In consideration of the Lenders’ and the Agents’ agreements 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 

  

 36 

 
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. 
 (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 Agreement to any “Section” refers, unless the context otherwise indicates, to a section of this Agreement.

 No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in

 Section 11. Agreement Not

 Each Credit Party agrees that, subject to the Forbearance, the waiver of the Designated Defaults set forth in
Section 3 hereof and the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, the agreements of the Agents and Lenders under this Agreement shall not constitute a defense by the Credit Parties to the exercise by any Agent or any Lender of any right,
power or remedy which such Person may have under or in respect of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents and any other agreement or document relating thereto (and including rights, powers and remedies at law, in equity or by

(C) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT; AND (E) AGREES THAT AGENTS AND
LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. 
 SECTION 13. Miscellaneous.

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.

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
