WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Guarantor and the Lender are parties to a Forbearance and Amendment Agreement dated as of January 26, 2017 (as amended or otherwise modified, the “Forbearance Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Lender agree to certain amendments and modifications to the Forbearance Agreement as further described herein; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
AMENDMENTS to FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT

The provisions of the Forbearance Agreement referred to below are hereby amended in accordance with this Article I.  Except as expressly so amended, the parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that all other terms and provisions of the Forbearance Agreement and each other Loan Document shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 1.1 Amendment to Section 2.1(a). Section 2.1(a) of the Forbearance Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it was in Default of Section 8.4(b) of the Credit Agreement as of each of September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 (such Defaults being herein referred to as the “Specified Defaults”). The Lender hereby agrees that, with respect to the Specified Defaults (but only the Specified Defaults), it will refrain and forebear from exercising or pursuing any rights or remedies under the Credit Agreement or otherwise (including imposing a default rate of interest in respect of the Specified Defaults pursuant to Section 3.6 of the Credit Agreement) or any other Loan Document until (but only until) the Termination Date. Any term or provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lender is not waiving any of its rights or remedies with respect to the Specified Defaults or any other Default, but instead is simply agreeing not to take remedial action with respect to the Specified Defaults until the Termination Date.

SECTION 1.2 Amendment to Section 2.1(b). Section 2.1(b) of the Forbearance Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(b)       The “Termination Date” shall mean the earlier of (i) June 30, 2017, and (ii) the date when the Lender becomes aware that any other Default (other than any Specified Default) has occurred and is continuing. Upon the occurrence of the Termination Date the Lender may, with respect to either or both of the Specified Defaults, pursue any rights and remedies available to it under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or pursuant to law or otherwise, with respect to any Defaults that have then occurred and are outstanding (including the Specified Defaults), including, but not limited to, declaring all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan and other Obligations to be immediately due and payable, imposing a default rate of interest in respect of the Obligations in accordance with Section 3.6 of the Credit Agreement, or pursuing any or all other rights and remedies of the Lender as a secured party under the UCC, the Pledge and Security Agreement or any other Loan Document.

ARTICLE II
