NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Section 1 Suspension of Certain Financial Covenants in Existing Term Loan Agreement.
(a) Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, for the period beginning on and including June 30, 2020 to but excluding August 31, 2020 (such period, as the same may be extended pursuant to clause (b) below, the “Suspension Period”) the parties hereto agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Existing Term Loan Agreement, the covenants set forth in Section 8.1(b), Section 8.1(c), and Section 8.1(d) (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”) shall be of no force and effect and the Loan Parties shall not be required to comply with such covenants, provided, however, that on the first day following the expiration of the Suspension Period, and continuing thereafter, such Suspended Covenants shall be immediately and automatically reinstated.

(c) From and after the expiration of the Suspension Period, and until such time as a Compliance Certificate is delivered with respect to the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2020, any Suspended Covenant which is calculated based on the most recently ended fiscal quarter (or any period of fiscal quarters most recently ended) shall be determined based on the fiscal quarter (or period of fiscal quarters) ending June 30, 2020.
(d) During the Suspension Period, the parties agree that (i) the minimum liquidity requirement in Section 8.15 shall be reduced from Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) to Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($8,500,000), and (ii) following the closing of the 2020 Term Loan, the Borrowers may include the undrawn availability under the 2020 Term Loan (to the extent available to be drawn at the date of determination in accordance with the 2020 Term Loan Credit Agreement) as cash liquidity for the purposes of calculating compliance with Section 8.15 of the Existing Term Loan Agreement.
Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, the parties hereto agree that the Existing Term Loan Agreement is amended as necessary to give effect to this Section 1.

For clarity, during the Suspension Period, the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans for Level 5 shall be increased such that the all-in interest rate accruing on LIBOR Loans is equal to the all-in interest rate on Base Rate Loans (determined as of the first day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loans).
(b) During the Suspension Period, the Loan Parties shall not take any action (and shall not omit from taking any action) where such action or omission is otherwise prohibited to be taken or omitted during the existence of a Default or Event of Default. Specifically, but without limitation of any other restrictions in the Existing Term Loan
