B.     An Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 8.2(a) of the Loan Agreement as a result of Borrowers having failed to satisfy the minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio set forth in Section 6.7(b) of the Loan Agreement for the reporting period ended September 30, 2017 (the “Existing Event of Default”).

 

C.     Borrower has requested that Lender waive the Existing Event of Default, which Lender is willing to do subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.
