1.2 Accounting Principles. The character or amount of any asset, liability, capital account or reserve and of any item of income or expense required to be determined pursuant to this Agreement, and any consolidation or other accounting computation required to be made pursuant to this Agreement, and the construction of any definition in this Agreement containing a financial term, will be determined or made, as the case may be, in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), to the extent applicable, unless such principles are inconsistent with the express requirements of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 2
ADVANCE, INTEREST AND PAYMENTS

2.1 Revenue Loan Advance. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement:

(a) Initial Advance. Lender will make the Initial Advance to Company on the date of Closing.

(b) Subsequent Advance. Any time beginning 15 days prior to an Advance Period through the end of such Advance Period as set forth on Schedule 2.1(b), Company may by delivering to Lender a written Advance Request in the form provided by Lender to Company (“Advance Request”) request one or more Subsequent Advances in accordance with the Schedule 2.1(b) up to a maximum for all Advances equal to the Revenue Loan Amount. If all of the conditions set forth on Schedule 2.1(b) are satisfied on the date of the Advance Request, Lender will advance to Company the requested amount within 15 business days of receipt of the Advance Request. Contemporaneously with each Subsequent Advance, Company shall deliver to Lender a certificate signed on behalf of Company by the Key Person (or other officer of Company acceptable to Lender) confirming that Company is not in default and no Event of Default has occurred and that all representations and warranties of the Company Entities in Article 3 are true as of such date (except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case as of such earlier date). Lender may, in its sole discretion, waive or modify any one or more of the conditions to any Subsequent Advance.

(c) Not a Revolving Facility. Company acknowledges and agrees that the credit facility granted hereunder is a multiple advance facility, but is not a revolving facility, and Company may not borrow, repay and re-borrow Advances.

2.2 Interest. Interest on the Amount Advanced shall accrue from and after the date of Closing at such rate as is necessary to generate an amount equal to the Minimum Interest (the “Interest”), provided, however, in no case shall such rate exceed the maximum rate allowable under applicable law.

2.3 Promise to Pay. Company promises to pay to the order of Lender, or its assigns in lawful money of the United States of America, for application against the Amount Advanced, together with the Interest as follows (with all payments to be applied first to fees and expenses incurred by Xxxxxx, then to accrued interest, and finally to principal, which Lender shall enter in its records of payments made by Company, and such records will be deemed conclusive evidence of the subject matter thereof unless proven otherwise):

(a) Maturity. The Amount Advanced and accrued but unpaid Interest will be immediately due on the Maturity Date and will be payable on demand any time thereafter.

(b) Monthly Payments. Commencing on the Payment Commencement Date and continuing thereafter until maturity or earlier prepayment in full, Company shall pay to Lender, on the 15th day of each month (or the next business day if such date is not a business day) (each a “Payment Date”), by wire transfer or Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfer to the Lender Account described on Schedule 2.3(b)(1) an amount equal to the amount set forth in the column labeled “Projected Payment” on Schedule 2.3(b)(2). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, payments made by ACH transfer must be initiated no later than three business days prior to the applicable Payment Date. Lender, in its sole discretion, may apply any monthly payment first to offset any outstanding invoices for legal or other fees that are 60 or more days overdue and then toward satisfaction of the Obligations. If any payment due pursuant to this Agreement is not paid when due, then Company will be assessed on the following day, automatically and without notice from Lender, a service fee of $500 payable to Lender (or other loan servicing agent). All service fees for missed payments are due on the day they arise. Successive service fees will be assessed and due on the 15th day of each month until Company has paid such past due amounts. All service fees will bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 12.7 from the date they arise. A pro-forma payment schedule that is based on Company’s financial projections is attached as Schedule 2.3 (b)(2).

(c) Prepayment. Company may at its option prepay the Amount Advanced balance and accrued but unpaid Interest on any Payment Date without penalty or premium (other than payment of the Minimum Interest).

(d) Termination of Payment Obligation. The payment obligation shall terminate upon Lender receiving payments from Company equal to the Amount Advanced plus the Interest and all other amounts due pursuant to this Agreement (the “Payoff Date”).

2.4 Security Interest. Company hereby assigns and grants to Lender, a continuing security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral. Upon indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and termination of Xxxxxx’s obligation to make Advances hereunder, Xxxxxx shall promptly release such security interest. Company hereby authorizes Lender to take all such actions as are reasonably necessary to, in Xxxxxx’s sole discretion, perfect its security interest in the Collateral, including the filing of such financing statements and amendments and continuations thereof as may be useful in order to perfect such security interest and, if any Collateral is covered by a certificate of title, Company will from time to time upon request of Lender execute such documents as may be required to have such security interest properly noted on a certificate of title. In addition, Company authorizes Lender to file, from time to time, (and reaffirms its authorization of the filing of any financing statements filed prior to the date of this Agreement) such financing statements against the Collateral described as “all assets” or the like as Lender reasonably deems necessary or useful to perfect such security interest.

2.5 Guaranty and Security Interest. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees the punctual payment in full when due and the performance of the Obligations, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (with respect to each individual Guarantor, the “Guaranty”). Subject to the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby further agrees that if Company fails to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) all or any part of the Obligations, each Guarantor will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Obligations, it will promptly pay the same in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of that extension or renewal. Each Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall apply to each Guarantor and all Obligations whenever arising and regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in part thereof. As security for the performance of each Guarantor’s Guaranty obligations, each Guarantor hereby assigns and grants to Lender a continuing security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral of such Guarantor (in each case, substituting the name of the applicable Guarantor for the “Company” on Schedule 11.2) subject to the same rights and obligations as set forth in Section 2.4.

2.6 Revival and Reinstatement of Indebtedness. If the payment of all or any part of the Obligations by Company or the transfer to Lender of any Collateral or other property should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors’ rights (a “Voidable Transfer”), and if Lender is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the advice of its counsel, then the amount of such Voidable Transfer or the amount of such Voidable Transfer that Lender is required or elects to repay or restore, including all reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred by Lender in connection therewith, and the Obligations shall automatically be revived, reinstated and restored by such amount and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.

Subject in each case to Section 5.7(b), in the event that a review and audit by Lender or its designated representatives results in a determination that the amounts that were paid to Lender (A) were underpaid by less than 10%, Company shall pay to Lender the amount unpaid plus interest at the rate of 1% per month on the amount unpaid, but Lender shall bear all of the costs, fees and expenses incurred by Lender as a result of the review and audit or (B) were underpaid by 10% or more, Company shall pay to Lender, in addition to the amount unpaid plus interest at the rate of 1% per month on the amount unpaid, all of the costs, fees and expenses actually incurred by Xxxxxx as a result of the review and audit.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Company disputes or disagrees with any of the results of Xxxxxx’s review and audit, Company may deliver to Lender, within 15 days of its receipt of the written results of Xxxxxx’s review and audit, a written dispute notice of its specific objections to Xxxxxx’s review and audit (a “Dispute Notice”). Upon the delivery by Company of a Dispute Notice, Company and Lender shall in good faith, and in consultation with their respective accountants, work together to resolve all disputed issues set forth in such Dispute Notice. To the extent that the disputed items set forth in the Dispute Notice remain unresolved after 20 business days following the receipt of the Dispute Notice, Company and Lender shall submit such unresolved items to an accounting firm of national or regional reputation that is mutually agreed upon by Company and Lender (the “Accountants”). If the issues in dispute are submitted to the Accountants for resolution: (i) Company and Lender shall each furnish to the Accountants such documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Accountants may reasonably request and are available to that party and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accountants any material relating to the review and audit in question and to discuss such review and audit with the Accountants; (ii) the determination by the Accountants of the actual amounts that should have been paid to Lender during the period subject to review and audit (the “Settled Audit Amount”), as set forth in a notice delivered to both parties by the Accountants within 30 days of the Accountants’ engagement, will be binding and conclusive on the parties; and (iii) Company and Lender shall bear the costs, fees and expenses of the Accountants for such determination in the same manner they would bear the costs, fees and expenses of Lender for the review and audit in accordance with Section 5.7(a). Within 10 business days following the determination of the Settled Audit Amount, the appropriate payments shall be made by Company, if any, in accordance with Section 5.7(a), based solely on the Settled Audit Amount.

5.8 Subsidiaries and Related Businesses.

(a) Company shall cause all of the Company Entities to comply with the provisions of Article 5 and Article 6. Company shall deliver prior written notice to Lender of the formation or acquisition of any subsidiary, joint venture, and/or purchase of equity investment or lending or advancing of funds to any other entity. All such wholly-owned subsidiaries of Company shall execute and deliver to Lender such joinders, pledge agreements and other documents as Lender requests.

(b) Subject to the terms of any agreement between a Company Entity and a Related Business, such Company Entity shall cause Related Businesses to comply within reason with the provisions of Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.10, 5.13, 5.14, 5.16, 6.1, and 6.3.

(b) Company will reimburse Lender for all reasonable costs, fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) for the perfection and the continuation of the perfection of Xxxxxx’s security interest in the Collateral and the cost of any terminations, extensions, renewals, amendments and releases thereof, and shall promptly pay all reasonable costs, fees and expenses of any record searches for financing statements Lender may reasonably require.

5.10 Records Regarding Collateral. Each Company Entity shall maintain all records, instruments or other documentation evidencing or otherwise relating to the Collateral at Company’s chief executive office and will not (a) remove any part thereof, or (b) change such Company Entity’s name, state of organization, or location of its chief executive office, without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Company shall use its best efforts to: (a) maintain a banking relationship with Company Bank or other qualified commercial bank; (b) ensure that all payments to Company from whatever source shall be deposited into Company account described in Schedule 5.11, or successor account thereto; (c) ensure that such account has a balance in excess of the amount due to Lender on each date that a payment pursuant to this Agreement is due; and (d) ensure that the Applicable Revenue Percentage is transferred to Lender Account on a monthly basis in accordance with this Agreement. Company shall within five business days notify Lender in writing of any change in its banking relationship (whether such change is within Company’s current bank or to another bank) and shall provide Lender with new contact information and account details for all new bank accounts.

5.12 Key Person Insurance; Background Check. Within 90 days following the Effective Date, Company shall hold from one or more “A or better” insurers, “key-person” life insurance on the Insured Executive(s) in the Insurance Amount and on other terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Lender and Company. The key-person policy, whether obtained prior to or following the Effective Date, shall be collaterally assigned to Lender, name Lender as loss payee, and continuously maintained in force and shall not be cancelable by Company without prior approval from Lender prior to full satisfaction of the Obligations. If at any time following such 90 day period Company does not hold a key-person policy in compliance with the preceding two sentences, Xxxxxx may obtain a key-person policy as owner and beneficiary on the life of the Insured Executive(s) in the Insurance Amount. Insured Executive(s) and Company shall fully cooperate with Lender in obtaining such policy and Company shall reimburse Lender for all related fees and expenses. All or any portion, in Xxxxxx’s sole discretion, of the insurance proceeds received by Xxxxxx as loss payee or beneficiary on any one or more key-person life insurance policies shall be applied against the outstanding Obligations with the excess being returned to the insurance company for redistribution. Proceeds of key-person life insurance policies received by Company while any Obligations are outstanding will, in the sole discretion of Lender, be used, in whole or in part, to satisfy the Obligations. Failure to obtain key-person insurance within such 90 day period will be considered an Event of Default under Section 7.2 of this Agreement. It is further agreed that prior to any person assuming any office, position, or responsibilities currently held by the Key Person, Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such person provides Lender with written authorization to conduct a background check within 30 days after such person’s appointment; provided that such background check shall only be for informational purposes and shall not give Lender any rights to veto such replacement Key Person. Failure by such person to provide written consent within such 30 day period will be considered an Event of Default under Section 7.2 of this Agreement.

5.13 Compliance. Each Company Entity shall comply with the requirements of all applicable state and federal laws, and of all rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject.

Section 5318.

5.15 Expenses Related to Non-Compliance with Covenants. If after five days’ notice from Lender, any Company Entity fails to comply with any one or more of the covenants provided for in this Agreement, Lender may, but has no obligation to, take such reasonable actions as Lender, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate to ensure such Company Entity remains in or returns to compliance with this Agreement and to protect Xxxxxx’s interest under this Agreement, including without limitation, paying premiums, taxes, unpermitted Indebtedness and/or judgments. Company shall thereafter promptly reimburse Lender for all reasonable costs, fees and expenses incurred by Xxxxxx in connection therewith together with interest at the rate set forth in Section 12.7 from the date of disbursement.

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

8.1 General Remedies. If any Event of Default specified in Section 7.3 shall occur, any commitment to make Advances hereunder shall automatically terminate and all Obligations of the Company Entities to Lender hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents shall automatically become immediately due and payable without notice. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may, without notice of any kind (including, without limitation, notice of acceleration or of intention to accelerate, presentment and demand or protest, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Company) do any one or more of the following:

(a) declare the entire Amount Advanced, Interest and all other Obligations, or any part thereof, immediately due and payable (provided that the Minimum Interest used to determine the Interest in such event will be the maximum Minimum Interest determined in accordance with Schedule 11.3, which will include all actual adjustments to the Minimum Interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but will exclude speculative adjustments);

(b) terminate any commitment to make Advances hereunder;

(c) exercise any and all other legal or equitable rights afforded by the Transaction Documents and the laws of the Applicable Jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction as Lender shall deem appropriate; and

(d) take any action permitted by this Agreement or by applicable law, including the Uniform Commercial Code then in effect in the Applicable Jurisdiction, to satisfy the Obligations of the Company Entities owed to Lender, including, but not limited to:

(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing Lender, may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, without notice, hearing or process except as specified below, take possession and maintain control over the Collateral. Within two days following demand by Xxxxxx for possession and control of the Collateral following an Event of Default, each Company Entity shall, at its sole cost and expense, assemble and turn over to Lender all Collateral of such Company Entity, including any ownership in any Related Business then held by such Company Entity.

(ii) Lender may in its sole discretion sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as Lender may deem commercially reasonable, and Lender may purchase all or any part of the Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale, and in lieu of actual payment of such purchase price, may set off the amount of such purchase price against the Obligations. Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, with notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Lender may abandon any such proposed sale. Each Company Entity acknowledges that any private sales of Collateral effected by Lender may result in terms less favorable to a seller than public sales but each Company Entity agrees that such private sales shall nevertheless be deemed commercially reasonable; provided, however, that the valuation of the Collateral in a private sale be reasonably based on comparable market prices for such Collateral. The Company Entities shall pay all costs, fees and expenses incurred by Xxxxxx, including reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs, in connection with any such sale.

(iii) Lender may enter upon and into and take possession of all or such part or parts of the properties owned or occupied by any Company Entity, including lands, buildings, equipment and other property as may be necessary or appropriate in the judgment of Lender to permit or enable Lender to complete the processing or collection of all or any part of the Collateral as Lender may elect, and use and operate such properties for such purposes and for such length of time as Lender may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate for such purposes without the payment of any compensation to any Company Entity therefor.

8.2 Minimum Interest Multiple Remedies.

(a) Minimum Interest Increase on Payment Event of Default. Following the occurrence of any Payment Event of Default and in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by this Agreement or applicable law, for each payment not timely made under this Agreement, the applicable Minimum Interest multiple will be increased by 0.015 on the Payoff Date; provided that for the first two Payment Events of Default and for purposes of this Section 8.2 only, Company will have 15 days to cure such instances of a Payment Event of Default without a corresponding increase to the Minimum Interest multiple. The applicable Minimum Interest multiple will be increased regardless of whether Lender notifies Company of any Payment Event of Default. If Company has not fully cured such Payment Event of Default at the end of such 15 day period, the applicable Minimum Interest multiple will increase as described above. Beginning with the third Payment Event of Default and continuing with each Payment Event of Default thereafter, the applicable Minimum Interest multiple will increase by 0.015 on the Payoff Date upon the occurrence of each such Payment Event of Default regardless of whether or not such Payment Event of Default is subsequently cured.

(b) Indebtedness. During the term of this Agreement, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by this Agreement or applicable law, for each instance of noncompliance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement (an “Additional Indebtedness Breach”), the greater of the following remedies (in terms of dollar amount) will be applied automatically and regardless of whether Lender notifies any Company Entity of the Additional Indebtedness Breach: (i) the applicable Minimum Interest multiple will increase by 0.10 on the Payoff Date or (ii) Company will be assessed a service fee equal to 50% of the principal amount of the unauthorized Indebtedness incurred by the Company Entity.

(c) Increases Cumulative. For the avoidance of doubt, any increases to the Minimum Interest made pursuant to this Section 8.2 will be cumulative and will apply throughout the remainder of the term of this Agreement for all periods set forth in the table on Schedule 11.3.

8.3 Notice of Sale. If any notification of intended disposition of any of the Collateral is required by law, such notification will be deemed reasonably and properly given if provided in accordance with Section 12.6 at least 10 days before such disposition, postage prepaid, addressed to Company at the address set forth in the introduction to this Agreement. Such disposition shall be established by affidavit of a representative of Xxxxxx, receipts or other reasonable method.

8.4 Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. The rights and remedies of Lender hereunder are cumulative and nonexclusive and the exercise of any one or more of the remedies provided for herein or under applicable law shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the other remedies of Lender so long as any part of the Obligations remain unsatisfied. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy by Lender preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

8.5 Application of Proceeds. Any payments or proceeds received by Lender from the Collateral shall be applied to the payment of costs, fees and expenses incurred by Xxxxxx in connection with performing, managing, maintaining or selling the Collateral, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and the balance, if any, shall be applied by Lender to payment of the Obligations, in order of application as Lender shall reasonably determine.

8.6 Notice to Account Debtors. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of (a) any Event of Default under Section 7.3, or (b) upon any other Event of Default, provided Xxxxxx has declared all Obligations immediately due and payable, Lender may notify any or all account debtors of the existence of Lender’s security interest in the Collateral and require such account debtors to pay or remit all sums due or to become due directly to Lender or its nominee.

8.7 Deposit Account Control Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Xxxxxx may exercise any and all rights as a secured creditor in respect of the Deposit Accounts of Company, including without limitation providing instructions to the bank regarding the withdrawal or disposition of any funds credited to the Deposit Accounts and as to any other matters relating to the Deposit Accounts in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Account Control Agreement.

8.8 Performance by Xxxxxx. If any Company Entity does not perform any covenant, duty or agreement in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, Lender may, at its option, perform or attempt to perform, such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of such Company Entity. In such event, any amount expended by Xxxxxx in such performance or attempted performance will be payable by Company to Lender on demand, will become part of the Obligations and will bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 12.7 from the date of such expenditure by Xxxxxx until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood that Xxxxxx does not assume and will never have, except by express written consent of Lender, any liability or responsibility for the performance of any covenant, duty or agreement of any Company Entity. Lender will have (and is hereby granted in such event) a royalty-free license to use intellectual property rights of each Company Entity to complete production of, advertisement for, and disposition of any Collateral and Lender will have a license to enter into, occupy, and use each Company Entity’s premises and the Collateral without charge to exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document.

8.9 Delegation of Duties and Rights. Lender may perform any of its duties or exercise any of its rights under the Transaction Documents by or through its officers, members of its Governing Body, employees, attorneys, agents or other representatives.

8.10 Expenditures by Xxxxxx. Each Company Entity shall indemnify Lender for all court costs, attorneys’ fees, other costs of collection and other sums spent by Lender pursuant to the exercise of any right (including, without limitation, any effort to collect amounts due or otherwise enforce this Agreement) provided herein. All such amounts will be payable to Lender on demand and will bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 12.7 from the date spent until the date repaid.

8.11 Lender’s Authority. Xxxxxx has the authority, but is not obligated to:

(a) place on any chattel paper received as proceeds a notation or legend showing Xxxxxx’s security interest;

(b) demand, collect, receive and receipt for, compound, compromise, settle and give acquittance for, and prosecute and discontinue any suits or proceedings in respect of any or all of the Collateral in the name of the Company Entities;

(c) upon prior written notice to Company, take any action which Lender may deem necessary or desirable in order to realize on the Collateral, including, without limitation, performance of any contract and endorsement in the name of any Company Entity of any checks, drafts, notes or other instruments or documents received in payment of or on account of the Collateral; and

(d) place upon each Company Entity’s books and records relating to the Collateral covered by the security interest granted hereby a notation or legend stating that such are subject to a security interest held by Xxxxxx.

8.12 Power of Attorney.

(a) Each Company Entity hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (i) endorse such Company Entity’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign such Company Entity’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any account or drafts against account debtors; (iii) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Lender determines reasonable; (iv) make, settle, and adjust all claims under such Company Entity’s insurance policies; (v) pay, contest or settle any lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (vi) transfer the Collateral into the name of Lender or a third party as the UCC permits.

(b) Each Company Entity hereby appoints Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign such Company Entity’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Xxxxxx’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Lender is under no further obligation to make Advances hereunder.

(x) Xxxxxx’s foregoing appointment as attorney in fact of each Company Entity, and all of Xxxxxx’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Xxxxxx’s obligation to provide Advances terminates.

8.13 Notification to Company. Lender may, but is under no obligation, to use reasonable efforts to notify Company of any of the foregoing actions by Xxxxxx in this Article 8; provided, however, the parties hereto expressly agree that the failure of Lender to provide notice shall not in any way affect or impair any action taken by Xxxxxx, it being understood that any absolute obligation of notice is hereby waived by Company and each other Company Entity.
