3. Limited Waiver. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 of this Waiver, Agent and the Lenders party hereto hereby grant an extension to the Requested Waiver through August 31, 2021 (subject to further extension as may be granted as set forth below); provided, that the foregoing waiver shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth herein and shall not (a) be construed as a consent to or waiver of (i) any breach, Default or Event of Default other than as specifically waived herein, or (ii) any breach, Default or Event of Default of which Agent or any of the Lenders have not been informed by any Loan Party, (b) affect the right of Agent or any of the Lenders to demand strict compliance by each Loan Party with all terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents, except as specifically consented to, modified or waived by the terms hereof, (c) be deemed a consent to or waiver of any future transaction or action on the part of any Loan Party requiring the Lenders’ or the Required Lenders’ consent or approval under the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents, or (d) diminish, prejudice or waive any of Agent’s or any Lender’s rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or applicable law, whether arising as a consequence of any Default or Event of Default which may now exist or otherwise, and Agent and each of the Lenders hereby reserve all of such rights and remedies.
