“Paid-in-Kind Interest” has the meaning set forth in Section 2.06(c)(i).

“PIK Period” has the meaning set forth in Section 2.06(c)(i).

Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date thereof, at a rate per annum equal (i) to nine percent (9.00%) per annum at all times other than during the PIK Period and (ii) twelve percent (12.00%) per annum during the PIK Period (collectively, the “Interest Rate”).

(b) Default Rate. (i) Upon the occurrence and during the existence of any Event of Default, all outstanding Obligations shall thereafter bear interest at an interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Interest Rate plus four percent (4.00%) per annum (the “Default Rate”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable in cash on demand.

(i) Commencing on January 1, 2020 and continuing through and including the Interest Payment Date to occur on the Twelfth Amendment Effective Date (the “PIK Period”), the full amount of interest accruing on the Loans (the “Paid-in-Kind Interest”) shall be due and payable on each such Interest Payment Date by adding such Paid-in-Kind Interest to the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Loans on such Interest Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the outstanding principal amount of the Loans after giving effect to the Paid-in-Kind Interest added thereto on the Interest Payment Date occurring March 31, 2020 was $64,601,810, (y) it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the outstanding principal amount of the Loans after giving effect to the Paid-in-Kind Interest added thereto on the Interest Payment Date occurring on the Twelfth Amendment Effective Date was $65,226,294 and (z) it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the interest payment due and payable on the first Interest Payment Date to occur after the end of the PIK Period shall be calculated commencing with the first day following the PIK Period.

(ii) Any and all such Paid-in-Kind Interest so added to the principal amount of the Loans shall constitute and increase the principal amount of the Loans for all purposes under this Agreement, including without limitation, for purposes of calculating any prepayment premium under Section 2.03(e) and shall bear interest in accordance with this Section 2.06.

(d) Interest Generally. Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in cash (or such other manner as is expressly specified herein with respect thereto) in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

(d) Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) deleting “; and” appearing at the end of clause (h) thereof and replacing it with “;”, (ii) deleting the “.” appearing at the end of clause (k) thereof and replacing it with “;”, (iii) renumbering clause (k) thereof as “clause (i)” thereof, and (iv) adding new clauses (j) and (k) thereto to read as follows:

(j) concurrently with delivery thereof to the Permitted Senior Revolving Credit Lender, copies of all financial information, calculations and other reporting provided to the Permitted Senior Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to the terms of the Permitted Senior Revolving Credit Documents; and

(k) promptly, and in any event within three (3) Business Days, after the same becomes available to a Responsible Officer of any Loan Party, a summary of received customer payments prepared by any Loan Party, which shall be in a form substantially consistent with past practice of the Loan Parties or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

(a) By their respective signatures below, the Loan Parties hereby agree that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, each of their respective Affiliates and the foregoing Persons’ respective officers, managers, members, directors, advisors, sub-advisors, partners, agents and employees, and their respective successors and assigns (hereinafter all of the above collectively referred to as the “Lender Group”), are irrevocably and unconditionally released, discharged and acquitted from any and all actions, causes of action, claims, demands, damages and liabilities of whatever kind or nature, in law or in equity, now known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected to the extent that any of the foregoing arises from any action or failure to act under or otherwise arising in connection with the Investment Documents on or prior to the Twelfth Amendment Effective Date.

(b) Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to the Lender Group that:

(i) it has read and understands the effect of the Release Provision. Each Loan Party has had the assistance of independent counsel of its own choice, or has had the opportunity to retain such independent counsel, in reviewing, discussing, and considering all the terms of the Release Provision; and if counsel was retained, counsel for such Loan Party has read and considered the Release Provision and advised such Loan Party with respect to the same. Before execution of this Agreement, such Loan Party has had adequate opportunity to make whatever investigation or inquiry it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the subject matter of the Release Provision.

(c) Each Loan Party understands that the Release Provision was a material consideration in the agreement of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement. The Release Provision shall be in addition to any rights, privileges and immunities granted to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Investment Documents.

5. Miscellaneous.

(a) This Agreement is a Loan Document.

(b) The Loan Parties hereby represent and warrant as follows:

(i) Each Loan Party has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

(ii) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party and constitutes such Loan Party’s legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(iii) No consent, approval, exemption, authorization or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is necessary or required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by any Loan Party of this Agreement except as have been made or obtained.

(c) The Loan Parties represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that after giving effect to this Agreement (i) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in Article VI of the Credit Agreement and in each other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect) as of the date hereof with the same effect as if made on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect) as of such earlier date and (ii) no event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes a Default or an Event of Default.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(f) If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (i) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
