The foregoing Recitals are hereby made a part of this Consent.

3.01Limited Consent and Waiver.

(a)The Obligors hereby acknowledge that the Proposed Reorganization is not permitted under Section 10.2.3 of the Loan Agreement.

Subject to the occurrence of the Consent Effective Date, the Agent and the Required Lenders party hereto hereby consent to the consummation of the Proposed Reorganization and waive any Events of Default that would have otherwise resulted therefrom so long as (i) the assets, if any, of the entities listed on Schedule 1, shall be distributed or otherwise transferred to an Obligor that is not listed on Schedule 1; and (ii) the Borrowers shall deliver to the Agent, as soon as available, and in any event not later than the next monthly financial statements due under Section 10.1.2(c) of the Loan Agreement after giving effect to any portion of the Proposed Reorganization, an updated organization chart which accurately shows the Borrowers and Obligors after giving effect to implementing all or any portion of the Proposed Reorganization.

(c)The consents and waivers in this Section 3.01 shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth herein and shall not (i) be construed as a waiver of any breach, Default or Event of Default nor as a waiver of any breach, Default or Event of Default of which the Agent and the Lenders have not been informed by the Obligors, (ii) affect the right of the Agent or the Lenders to demand compliance by the Obligors with all terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, except as specifically waived by this Consent, (iii) be deemed a waiver of or consent to any transaction or future action on the part of any Obligor requiring the Agent’s or any Lender’s consent or approval under the Loan Documents, other than as expressly set forth herein, or (iv) except as consented to hereby, be deemed or construed to be a waiver or release of, or a limitation upon, the Agent’s or the Lenders’ exercise of any rights or remedies under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether arising as a consequence of any Default or Event of Default which may now exist or otherwise, all such rights and remedies hereby being expressly reserved.

Each Obligor hereby represents and warrants to each Lender and the Agent, as of the date hereof and as of the Consent Effective Date, as follows:

4.01Authority. The execution, delivery and performance by such Obligor of this Consent, and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary action, and this Consent is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
