WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Agent and Required Lenders waive the Defaults and the related Event of Default arising under Section 8.01(b) of the Agreement for Borrower’s delivery of financial statements for the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2019 that are subject to a “going concern” or like qualification or exception, which constitutes a breach of Section 6.01(a) of the Agreement(the “Going Concern Default”);

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders and the Agent consent to making certain amendments to the Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions described herein;

 

WHEREAS, the Agent and the Lenders are willing to make the requested amendments to the Agreement as set forth herein, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned parties agree as follows:

Section 2. Waiver. Each of the Agent and the Lenders signatory hereto hereby consent to waive the Going Concern Default.

 

The waiver set forth above shall be limited precisely as written and shall relate solely to the Going Concern Default in the manner it exists on the date hereof and not to any other change in facts or circumstances occurring after the date hereof and shall not relate to any other Defaults or Events of Default now existing or occurring after the date hereof, and shall not in any way or manner restrict the Agent or any Lender from exercising any rights or remedies they may have in respect of any Default or Event of Default (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Default or Event of Default existing as of the date hereof which is not the Going Concern Default) at any time in respect of the Agreement or any other Loan Document. Nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a consent to any other departure from or a waiver of any other term, provision or condition of the Agreement or any other Loan Document or prejudice any right or remedy that the Agent or any Lender may have or may in the future have.

 

Section 3. Amendments to Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth in Section 4, the Agreement is hereby amended as of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date as follows:

The provisions of this Section do not constitute a consent to the consummation of any Disposition not permitted by Section 7.05. In the event of any Recovery Event that results in Net Proceeds being repatriated in accordance with Section 2.02(b)(vi), the Borrower shall be deemed to have received the Net Proceeds on the date of such repatriation and not on the date of such Recovery Event.”
