become due, or to require the prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity (including, in the case of a Qualified Securitization Financing, any event or condition occurs under the terms of the documents relating to the applicable Qualified Securitization Financing that terminates the Qualified Securitization Financing or that would permit the providers thereof to terminate such financing or arrangement or commitments or availability with respect thereto, in each case regardless of whether or not subsequently cured or waived under such Qualified Securitization Financing Documentation) or (ii) the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall fail to pay the principal of any Material Indebtedness at the stated final maturity thereof (with all applicable grace periods having expired); provided, that this clause (f) shall not apply (and no Default or Event of Default shall result) to Indebtedness that becomes due as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such Indebtedness if such sale or transfer is permitted hereunder and under the documents providing for such Indebtedness.

Section 2. Temporary Waiver of Specified Defaults; Financial Deliverables Extension.

(a) Confirmation of Specified Defaults.  Each Loan Party (i) acknowledges and agrees that (A) each of the Specified Defaults constitutes a material Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof, as the case may be, and (B) none of the Specified Defaults has been cured as of the date hereof, and (ii) represents that, except for the Specified Defaults, no other Defaults or Events of Default have occurred and are continuing as of the date hereof, or are expected to occur during the Waiver Period, as the case may be. 

(b) Temporary Waiver of Specified Defaults; and Temporary Waiver Default Rights and Remedies.

(i) Effective as of the Second Amendment Effective Date, each of the Lender Parties agrees that until the expiration or termination of the Waiver Period, it will temporarily waive the Specified Defaults; provided, however, (A) the Lender Parties shall have no obligation to make any further Loans or other extensions of credit to Borrower or any other Loan Party, and (B) each Loan Party shall comply with all limitations, restrictions or prohibitions that would otherwise be effective or applicable under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default. The temporary waiver granted pursuant to this Section 2(b)(i) with respect to the Specified Defaults shall not be construed to be a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing or that may occur from and after the Second Amendment Effective Date.

(ii) As used herein, the term “Waiver Period” shall mean the period beginning on the Second Amendment Effective Date and ending on the earliest to occur of (the occurrence of clause (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Waiver Period Termination Event”): (i) the occurrence of any Event of Default under subsection 7.01(h) or 7.01(i) of the Credit Agreement (a “Bankruptcy Default”), (ii) the occurrence of any Waiver Period Default (as hereinafter defined), and (iii) 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on May 29, 2020.  As used herein, the term “Waiver Period Default” shall mean (A) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default other than the Specified Defaults, (B) the failure of Borrower or any other Loan Party to comply timely with any term, condition, or covenant set forth in this Amendment, including, without limitation, as set forth in Section 2(c) hereof, (C) the failure of any representation or warranty made by Borrower or any other Loan Party under or in connection with this Amendment to be true and complete in all material respects as of the date when made or any other breach of any such representation or warranty, (D) any occurrence, event or change in facts or circumstances occurring on or after the Second Amendment Effective Date that would have a Material Adverse Effect, other than the potential impact associated with the COVID-19 pandemic (the breadth and extent of which are unknown as of the date hereof), (E) the repudiation and/or assertion of any defense by any Loan Party with respect to this Amendment or any Loan Document or the pursuit of any claim by any Loan Party against any Agent, any Lender or any Indemnitee,

11

(F) the termination or expiration of any other waiver or forbearance granted by another creditor of the Loan Parties, including, but not limited to, with respect to the Second Lien Credit Agreement and the PNC Securitization Documents, (G) the Restructuring Term Sheet failing to be in a form acceptable to the Agents on or prior to 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on May 11, 2020 or (H) the occurrence of any “Event of Termination” (or other similar term) (as defined in the PNC Receivables Purchase Agreement) or any other event or condition occurs that enables or permits (with all applicable grace periods having expired) the holder or holders of the PNC Securitization or any trustee or agent on its or their behalf to terminate the PNC Securitization or cause the PNC Securitization to become due, or to require the prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof (regardless of whether such Event of Termination has been waived or cured).  Any Waiver Period Default shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents.

(iii) Upon the occurrence of a Waiver Period Termination Event, the agreement of the Lender Parties hereunder to waive and forbear from exercising their respective default-related rights and remedies shall immediately terminate without the requirement of any demand, presentment, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which Borrower and the other Loan Parties each waives.  Borrower and the other Loan Parties each agrees that any or all of the Lender Parties may at any time thereafter proceed to exercise any and all of their respective rights and remedies under any or all of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or applicable law, including, without limitation, their respective rights and remedies with respect to the Specified Defaults, and for avoidance of doubt, each of the Specified Defaults shall be deemed to have occurred and be continuing (and unwaived) as of the date such Specified Default occurred (without giving effect to the temporary waiver and forbearance provisions of this Agreement).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Waiver Period Termination Event, the Lender Parties may, in their sole discretion and without the requirement of any demand, presentment, protest, or notice of any kind, (i) suspend or terminate any commitment to provide Loans or other extensions of credit under any or all of the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents, (ii) charge interest on any or all of the Obligations at the Default Rate, effective from and after the date of the first Specified Default to occur on a retroactive basis, (iii) commence any legal or other action to collect any or all of the Obligations from Borrower, any other Loan Party and/or any Collateral, (iv) foreclose or otherwise realize on any or all of the Collateral, and/or appropriate, setoff or apply to the payment of any or all of the Obligations, any or all of the Collateral, and (v) take any other enforcement action or otherwise exercise any or all rights and remedies provided for by any or all of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Documents and/or applicable law, all of which rights and remedies are fully reserved by the Lender Parties. 

(iv) Any agreement by the Lender Parties to extend the Waiver Period, if any, must be set forth in writing and signed by a duly authorized signatory of each of the Agents and the Required Lenders.

(v) Borrower and the other Loan Parties each acknowledge that the Lender Parties have not made any assurances concerning (i) any possibility of an extension of the Waiver Period, (ii) the manner in which or whether the Specified Defaults may be resolved or (iii) any additional forbearance, waiver, restructuring or other accommodations.

(vi) The parties hereto agree that the running of all statutes of limitation and the doctrine of laches applicable to all claims or causes of action that any Lender Party may be entitled to take or bring in order to enforce its rights and remedies against Borrower or any other Loan Party are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, tolled and suspended during the Waiver Period.

(vii) Borrower and the other Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that any Loan or other financial accommodation that any Lender Party makes on or after the Second Amendment Effective Date has been made by such party in reliance upon, and is consideration for, among other things, the general

12

releases and indemnities contained in Section 7 hereof, the amendments to the Credit Agreement contained in Section 1 hereof and the other covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereunder.

(c) Supplemental Terms, Conditions and Covenants During the Temporary Waiver Period.  The Borrower and Loan Parties hereto hereby agree to comply with the following terms, conditions and covenants during the Waiver Period, in each case notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Amendment, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document:

(ii) On or before April 30, 2020, Borrower shall prepare and deliver to the Agents its business plan through and including the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 which business plan shall be approved by the special committee of the Borrower’s Board of Directors, and shall include  projections and discussions of key assumptions and drivers (including, but not limited to detailed vendor-specific information);

(iii) On or before April 30, 2020, Borrower shall prepare and deliver to the Agents a restructuring term sheet proposal (the most recently delivered draft thereof, the “Restructuring Term Sheet”) acceptable to the Loan Parties, and shall thereafter engage in negotiations with the Agents to achieve a Restructuring Term Sheet acceptable to the Loan Parties and the Agents by no later than May 11, 2020  provided that each such Restructuring Term Sheet must provide for its implementation by no later than May 29, 2020;

(iv) Borrower covenants and agrees that (A) commencing with the week ending April 24, 2020 and on a weekly basis thereafter during the Waiver Period, Borrower shall participate in senior management conference calls with the Agents and the Lenders, and shall cause and authorize and direct Alvarez & Marsal and PJT Partners to participate in such conference calls, (B) commencing with the week ending April 24, 2020 and on a weekly basis thereafter during the Waiver Period, Borrower shall cause and authorize and direct Alvarez & Marsal and PJT Partners to participate in other separate direct conference calls with the Agents and the Lenders and (C) Borrower shall cause and authorize and direct Alvarez & Marsal and PJT Partners to provide the Agents and the Lenders with such additional information as the Agents and the Lenders may reasonably request;

(vi) Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall (i) promptly provide to the Revolving Agent a detailed cash flow schematic of all Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts of the Loan Parties identifying each such account by account number, banking institution, and type (e.g., collection account, payroll account, etc.), identifying any “zba” or other standing instructions as to flow of cash amongst the Deposit Accounts of the Loan Parties, and identifying which accounts are Excluded Accounts and (ii) use

13

reasonable efforts to cooperate with any requests of the Revolving Agent to facilitate implementation of cash dominion (for the avoidance of doubt, such implementation to occur following the cessation of the Waiver Period), including, without limitation, opening one or more additional Deposit Accounts and providing Control Agreements over any such additional Deposit Accounts (or amending any existing Control Agreements for such purpose) in order to facilitate the implementation of cash dominion and minimize any associated disruption on the operations of the Loan Parties. 

(d) Financial Deliverables Extension.  Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 hereof, the Required Lenders hereby consent to the Financial Deliverables Extension; provided that the 2019 Financials, the related Compliance Certificate, the related Auditor’s Certificate and the 2020 Budget shall be delivered on or prior to the expiration or termination of the Waiver Period.

Section 3. Representations and Warranties of BorrowerIn order to induce the Lender Parties signatory hereto to enter into this Amendment, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants that:

(b) Authorization; Enforceability.  The Borrower and each of the Loan Parties has the power and has taken all necessary action, corporate or otherwise, to authorize it to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under this Amendment and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.  This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and each of the Loan Parties, and this Amendment (and the Credit Agreement as modified hereby) is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower and each of the Loan Parties, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing.

(c) No Conflicts, Etc.  The execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment in accordance with its terms and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) violate (A) any provision of law, statute, rule or regulation, (B) the certificate or articles of incorporation or other constitutive documents (including any limited liability company or operating agreements) or by-laws of the Borrower or any other Loan Parties, (C) any applicable order of any court or any rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority or (D) any provision of any indenture, certificate of designation for preferred stock, agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower or any other Loan Party is a party or by which any of them or any of their property is or may be bound, or (ii)
