(b)Each Loan Party, for itself and on behalf of its successors, assigns, and officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys, and any Person acting for or on behalf of, or claiming through it, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, covenants and agrees with and in favor of each Releasee above that it will not xxx (at law, in equity, in any regulatory proceeding or otherwise) any Releasee on the basis of any Claim released, remised and discharged by such Person pursuant to the above release. Each Loan Party further agrees that it shall not dispute the validity or enforceability of the Financing Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of its obligations thereunder, or the validity, priority, enforceability or the extent of the Lender’s Lien on any item of Collateral under the Financing Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If any Loan Party or any of their respective successors, assigns, or officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys, or any Person acting for or on behalf of, or claiming through it violate the foregoing covenant, such Person, for itself and its successors, assigns and legal representatives, agrees to pay, in addition to such other damages as any Releasee may sustain as a result of such violation, all attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by such Releasee as a result of such violation.
13.Counterparts; Delivery. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by facsimile or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as an original.
14.Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AMENDMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY IN ANOTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN RESPECT OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
EACH LOAN PARTY, EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM CONCERNING ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AMENDMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, WAIVER, CONSENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR OTHER AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH IN THE FUTURE MAY BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, OR ARISING FROM ANY FINANCING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AMENDMENT, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, PROCEEDINGS OR COUNTERCLAIM SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. EACH LOAN PARTY CERTIFIES THAT NO OFFICER, REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
19
ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS ENTERING INTO THIS AMENDMENT.

provided, that any such dividends or distributions that are made pursuant to (x) subclause (ii) of the second to last sentence of Section 6.7(a) or (y) the last sentence of Section 6.7(a), shall not in either case constitute “Fixed Charges” for purposes of calculating the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to determine Borrower’s compliance with Section 6.2 of this Agreement
(b)Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating clause (xii) of the definition of “Consolidated EBITDA” as follows:
(xii) (A) any adjustments agreed to in a writing expressly referring to this clause (xii) by Lender and Borrower or (B) expenses funded with proceeds of the DDTL that are related to the DDTL and/or the settlement of the Xxxxxx Stockholder Litigation, in an amount (together

with the amount of any dividends made using the proceeds of the DDTL) not to exceed $10,000,000 during the term of the Agreement,
(c)Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating the following definitions in their entirety:
"Daily Three Month LIBOR" means for any day, the rate of interest equal to LIBOR then in effect for delivery for a three (3) month period. When interest is determined in relation to Daily Three Month LIBOR, each change in the interest rate shall become effective each business day that Lender determines that Daily Three Month LIBOR has changed. If such rate of interest is below 0.75%, then the rate determined pursuant to this definition shall be deemed to be 0.75%.
"Floating Rate” means, with respect to all Advances an interest rate equal to the sum of (i) Daily Three Month LIBOR, which interest rate shall change whenever Daily Three Month LIBOR changes, plus (ii) the Margin Amount.
"Term Loan Maximum Amount" means the "Maximum Term Principal Obligations" as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof or as amended pursuant to an amendment agreed to in writing by the Lender and the Term Loan Agent (including that certain Second Amendment to Intercreditor Agreement dated as of the Second Amendment Effective Date)).

“DDTL” means the delayed draw term loan of up to $10,000,000 provided under the Term Loan Credit Agreement on the Second Amendment Effective Date.
“Margin Amount” means, (a) if the financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance with Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(b) for the four fiscal quarter period of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries most recently ended demonstrate that the Senior Leverage Ratio of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the end of such four fiscal quarter period or as of such funding date, is less than 2:50:1.00, 1.75% per annum, and (b) if the financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance with Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(b) for the four fiscal quarter period of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries most recently ended demonstrate that the Senior Leverage Ratio of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the end of such four fiscal quarter period or as of such funding date, is equal to or greater than 2:50:1.00, 2.00% per annum. Any changes to the Margin Amount pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above shall take effect two (2) Business Days after the applicable financial statements are delivered or the funding of such DDTL occurs, as the case may be; provided that, if the Borrowers fail to deliver on a timely basis such financial statements as required under Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(b), the Margin Amount shall be as set forth in clause (b) hereof; provided further, that any change in the Margin Amount from the rates set forth in clause (a) above to the rates set forth in clause (b) above shall not take effect until two (2) Business Days after the later of (i) the date on which the applicable financial statements in accordance with Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(b) are due, and (ii) the date on which such financial statements are actually delivered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any financial statement or calculation described in the foregoing proviso is inaccurate (regardless of whether the Agreement is in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the Margin Amount being calculated in accordance with clause (b) above, then the Margin Amount for such period shall be adjusted retroactively (to the effective
2
LEGAL_US_e_ #147564565.6
date of the increase of the Margin Amount that was based upon the delivery of such inaccurate financial statement or calculation) to reflect the correct Margin Amount, and the Borrower shall promptly make payments to the Lender to reflect such adjustment.

“Second Amendment Effective Date” means the effective date of the Second Amendment to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement.
(e)Section 6.2(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating in its entirety as follows:
(c) Minimum Monthly Stop Loss. The Borrower will not permit the Net Loss of Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis to exceed $600,000.00 in the aggregate in any one month or $1,000,000.00 in the aggregate during any two consecutive months during any fiscal year; provided that expenses related to the DDTL and/or the settlement of the Xxxxxx Stockholder Litigation, in an amount (together with the amount of any dividends made using the proceeds of the DDTL) not to exceed $10,000,000 during the term of the Agreement, will be excluded from Net Loss for the purpose of this provision.
(f)Section 6.7(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentence at the end thereof:
In addition, on or about the date of the funding of the DDTL under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, a portion of the proceeds of the DDTL may be used by the Borrower to declare and make a dividend or distribution to its shareholders to pay liabilities and expenses associated with the Xxxxxx Stockholder Litigation so long as such dividend or distribution and the use of the proceeds of the DDTL are expressly permitted under the Term Loan Credit Agreement as in effect as of the Second Amendment Effective Date.
3.Waiver of Appraisals. The Lender waives any requirement that appraisals of Inventory and Equipment shall have occurred for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. The Borrower agrees that Lender will conduct appraisals on Inventory and Equipment, at the expense of the Borrower, in the fourth quarter of 2020.
4.Waiver of Event of Default. The Lender hereby waives the Event of Default that arose as a result of the Borrower’s failure to deliver the December Monthly Financial Statement on or before the deadline required under Section 6.1(b) of the Credit Agreement (“Specified Event of Default”); provided, that nothing herein, nor any communications among any Loan Party or Lender, shall be deemed a waiver with respect to any Events of Default (other than the Specified Event of Default), or any future failure of any Loan Party to comply fully with any provision of the Credit Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, and in no event shall this waiver be deemed to be a waiver of enforcement of any the Lender’s rights or remedies under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, at law (including under the UCC), in equity, or otherwise including, without limitation, the right to declare all Obligations immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Loan Agreement, in each case with respect to any other Defaults or Events of Default now existing or hereafter arising.
