NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

(a) The outstanding principal balance of the Original Note and Exit Charge in the aggregate amount of $11,500,000 were due and payable on January 31, 2020, and the Borrowers did not pay such amount to the Holder on such date.
(b) The Facility Agreement, the Original Note and the other Transaction Documents are legal, valid, binding and enforceable against the Borrowers in accordance with their respective terms. The terms of the Transaction Documents remain unchanged, except as modified pursuant to the Amendment Documents (as defined below).

(e) Nothing herein shall impair or limit the continuation of the liens and security interests granted to the Holder under the Facility Agreement, which liens are continued in full force and effect pursuant to and as provided therein. Following the Effective Date (as defined below), the Borrowers agree that any reference to the “Note” in the Facility Agreement and the other Transaction Documents means the A&R Note. The Borrowers acknowledge the continuing existence and priority of all liens and security interests granted, conveyed, and assigned pursuant to the Facility Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, and agrees to perform such acts and duly authorize, execute, acknowledge, deliver, file, and record such additional documents and certificates as the Holder requests in order to perfect, preserve, and protect such liens and security interests.
(f) The Holder has fully and timely performed all of its obligations and duties in compliance with the Transactions Documents and applicable law, and has acted reasonably, in good faith, and appropriately under the circumstances.
(g) In further consideration of the Holder’s execution of this Agreement, each Borrower, on behalf of itself and its successors, assigns, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys hereby forever, fully, unconditionally and irrevocably waive and release the Holder and its successors, assigns, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (collectively, the “Releasees”) from any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, debts, causes of action (whether at law or in equity or otherwise), defenses, counterclaims, setoffs, of any kind, whether known or unknown, whether liquidated or unliquidated, matured or unmatured, fixed or contingent, directly or indirectly arising out of, connected with, resulting from or related to any act or omission by the Holder or any other Releasee with respect to the Original Note and the other Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Claims”). Each Borrower further agrees that neither of them shall commence, institute, or prosecute any lawsuit, action or other proceeding, whether judicial, administrative or otherwise, to prosecute, collect or enforce any Claim.
3. Representations and Warranties. Each Loan Party represents and warrants, severally and jointly, to the Holder that:
(a) Authorization; Enforcement. Each Loan Party has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the A&R Note and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the A&R Note by each Loan Party and the consummation by each of them of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of each such Loan Party and no further action is required by any Loan Party in connection herewith or therewith. This Agreement and the A&R Note have been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by each Loan Party and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation each such Loan Party enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms.
(b) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this Agreement and the A&R Note, and the consummation by each of them of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not: (i) conflict with or violate any provision of such Loan Party’s certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of any Loan Party, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, securities purchase agreement, debt or other instrument (evidencing a Loan Party Indebtedness or otherwise) or other understanding to which any Loan Party is a party or by which any property or asset of any Loan Party is bound or affected, or (iii) conflict with or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or Governmental Authority to which a Loan Party is subject (including federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any property or asset of a Loan Party is bound or affected.

(c) Absence of Defaults. Giving effect to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, and each Borrower has complied in all material respects with their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents.
(d) Solvency. Based on the consolidated financial condition of each such Loan Party as of the Effective Date, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereunder: (i) the fair saleable value of such Loan Party’s tangible assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of such Loan Party’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) such Loan Party’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by such Loan Party, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of such Loan Party, together with the proceeds such Loan Party would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. Such Loan Party does not intend to incur Indebtedness beyond its ability to pay such Indebtedness as it matures (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its Indebtedness).
