NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is acknowledged by each party hereto, it is agreed that:

SECTION 1. FORBEARANCE IN RESPECT OF SPECIFIED EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

(a) Acknowledgment of Defaults. The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Specified Events of Default have occurred and are continuing, constitute Events of Default, and entitle the Agent and each Lender to exercise its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, applicable law or otherwise, including, without limitation, by exercising the right to declare the Obligations to be immediately due and payable under the terms of the Loan Documents. The Loan Parties represent and warrant that as of the date hereof, no other Events of Default exist other than the Specified Events of Default.

(b) Forbearance. In reliance upon the representations, warranties and covenants of the Loan Parties contained in this Tenth Amendment, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Tenth Amendment and any documents or instruments executed in connection herewith, the Agent and Lenders agree to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, applicable law or otherwise in respect of or arising out of the Specified Events of Default, for the period (the “Tenth Amendment Forbearance Period”) commencing on the date hereof and ending on the date which is the earlier of: (i) September 30, 2024 or (ii) the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, other than the Specified Events of Default. Upon the termination of the Tenth Amendment Forbearance Period, the agreement of the Agent and Lenders to forbear shall automatically and without further action terminate and be of no force and effect, it being expressly agreed that the effect of such termination will be to permit the Agent and Lenders to exercise immediately all rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and applicable law, including, but not limited to, (i) ceasing to make any further Loans and (ii) accelerating all of the Obligations; in each case without any further notice to any Loan Party, passage of time or forbearance of any kind.

(c) No Other Waivers; Reservation of Rights. Neither the Agent nor any Lender has waived, is by this Tenth Amendment waiving, or has any intention of waiving, any Events of Default which may be continuing on the date hereof or any Events of Default which may occur after the date hereof (whether the same or similar to the Specified Events of Default or otherwise), and neither the Agent nor any Lender has agreed to forbear with respect to any of its rights or remedies concerning any other Events of Default (other than, during the Tenth Amendment Forbearance Period, the Specified Events of Default to the extent expressly set forth herein), occurring at any time. Subject to Section 1(b) above (solely with respect to the Specified Events of Default), the Agent and each Lender reserves the right, in its discretion, to exercise any or all of its rights and remedies under the Amended Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a result of any other Events of Default occurring at any time. Neither the Agent nor any Lender has waived any of such rights or remedies, and nothing in this Tenth Amendment, and no delay on its part in exercising any such rights or remedies, should be construed as a waiver of any such rights or remedies. Other than as expressly set forth in Section 6 below, neither the Agent nor any Lender has consented to, or is by this Tenth Amendment consenting to, any Change of Control with respect to any Loan Party.

(d) Additional Events of Default. The parties hereto acknowledge, confirm and agree that any misrepresentation by any Loan Party, any failure of any Loan Party to comply with the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in this Tenth Amendment, or the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Amended Loan Agreement, any other Loan Documents or any other agreement, document or instrument at any time executed and/or delivered by Loan Party with, to or in favor of the Agent or any Lender shall constitute an Event of Default under this Tenth Amendment, the Amended Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(d) General Release.

Each of the Loan Parties and Xxxxxxx expressly acknowledges that although ordinarily a general release may not extend to claims or causes of action that any Loan Party and Xxxxxxx does not know or suspect to exist in its favor, which if known by it may have materially affected its agreement hereunder, they have carefully considered, and taken into account in determining to enter into the above releases, the possible existence of such unknown losses or claims or causes of Action. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party and Xxxxxxx expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights and benefits such party may have or conferred upon it under any federal, state, or local statute, rule, regulation, or principle of common law or equity that provides that a release does not extend to claims or causes of action that the claimant does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of providing the release or that may in any way limit the effect or scope of the releases with respect to released claims or causes of action that such party did not know or suspect to exist in such party’s favor at the time of providing the release, which in each case if known by it may have materially affected its agreement hereunder, including, without limitation, California Civil Code § 1542, which provides:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.

(e) Each of the Loan Parties and Xxxxxxx expressly acknowledges that the releases contained herein are effective regardless of whether those released matters or released claims or causes of action are presently known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, or foreseen or unforeseen.
