The Borrower wishes to incur the Subordinated Debt (Restructuring) and the Subordinated Debt (Take-Out) in connection with the repurchase of stock of the Borrower held by Triangulum Partners, LLC as of the Second Amendment Date (collectively, the “Repurchase Transaction”). The Borrower has requested that, on the Second Amendment Date, the Lender waive (a) any violation of the negative covenants in Section 6.12 (Indebtedness) and Section 6.16 (Leverage Ratio) of the Credit Agreement, and (b) the prepayment requirements, if any, of Section 2.6(a)(ii) of the Credit Agreement with respect to clause (d) of the definition of “Prepayment Event” that have resulted or would result from the Repurchase Transaction and which together could constitute Events of Default pursuant to Section 7.1(a), (c), or (d) of the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Specified Defaults”).
2.3 Waiver of Specified Defaults. On the Second Amendment Date, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Amendment, the Lender waives the Specified Defaults and any other Event of Default that would result from the Repurchase Transaction as of the Second Amendment Date.

In consideration of such forbearance, the Borrower agrees to deliver to the Lender any agreements, documents, or other information relating to the Repurchase Transaction reasonably requested by the Lender.
