WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement, a waiver under the Credit Agreement may be granted by the Borrower and the Lender.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.    Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

2.    Waiver. The Lender hereby waives any non-compliance by the Borrower with the covenants set forth in Section 7.1(c) of the Credit Agreement as a result of the Going Concern Delivery and any Default or Event of Default that may have occurred or would otherwise arise as a result thereof.

3.    Consent. Upon the effectiveness of this Waiver, the Lender and the Borrower hereby agree, solely for delivery of the audited consolidated financial statements of the Borrower for the Fiscal Year ended on December 29, 2018, to waive the requirement under Section 7.1(c) of the Credit Agreement that the audited consolidated financial statements of the Borrower be delivered without an Impermissible Qualification.

4.    Contingent Fees. (a) The Borrower covenants and agrees that it shall pay to the Lender, for its own account, a fee (the “Contingent June Fee”) in an amount equal to $162,500. The Contingent June Fee shall be earned, due and payable on June 30, 2019, shall be paid in immediately available funds and shall not be subject to reduction by way of setoff or counterclaim.

Once paid neither the Contingent June Fee nor any part thereof shall be refundable under any circumstances. The Contingent June Fee payable hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other fees, costs and expenses payable pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as (x) a parent company of the Borrower completes a Qualified IPO prior to June 30, 2019 or (y) the Borrower receives net cash proceeds of no less than $30,000,000 from the sale of Qualified Capital Securities prior to June 30, 2019, neither the Contingent June Fee nor any part thereof shall be due or payable under this Section 4(a).

Once paid neither the Contingent September Fee nor any part thereof shall be refundable under any circumstances. The Contingent September Fee payable hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other fees, costs and expenses payable pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Contingent June Fee). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as (x) a parent company of the Borrower completes a Qualified IPO prior to September 30, 2019 or (y) the Borrower receives net cash proceeds of no less than $30,000,000 from the sale of Qualified Capital Securities prior to September 30, 2019, neither the Contingent September Fee nor any part thereof shall be due or payable under this Section 4(b).
