Re. Commitment to Provide Additional Term Loans to Waitr Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is hereby made to that certain (i) Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of November 15, 2018 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”, and as amended by the Amendments (as defined below), the “Credit Agreement”), among Waitr Inc. (“Waitr”), as borrower, Waitr Intermediate Holdings, LLC (“Waitr Intermediate”), the Guarantors party thereto, the Lenders party thereto and Luxor Capital Group, LP (“Luxor”), as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacities, the “Credit Agreement Agent”) and (ii) Credit Agreement, dated as of November 15, 2018 (the “Existing Notes Agreement”, and as amended by the Amendments (as defined below), the “Notes Agreement”), among Waitr Holdings Inc. (“Waitr Holdings”), as borrower, the Lenders party thereto and Luxor, as administrative agent thereunder (in such capacity, the “Notes Agent”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement or the Notes Agreement, as applicable.

You have advised Luxor, on behalf of Lugard Road Capital Master Fund, LP, and of one or more of its funds and/or affiliates (collectively, “Lugard”, “we” or “us”), that Waitr Holdings intends to acquire (the “Acquisition”) BiteSquad.com LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (the “Target”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 11, 2018 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Target, Waitr Holdings, and Wingtip Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Waitr Intermediate (“MergerSub”). On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, upon the closing of the transactions contemplated thereby, the Target will be merged with and into MergerSub (the “Merger”), with the Target surviving the merger as a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Waitr Intermediate.

You have also informed Luxor that you wish to make certain amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement and the Existing Notes Agreement in connection with the Transactions (as defined below) as you and the Lenders may agree (collectively, the “Amendments”), including to amend the Existing Notes Agreement to permit the incurrence of the Additional Term Loans, the Acquisition and conforming changes to any agreement with respect to the Credit Agreement that you and we shall agree (such amendments, collectively, the “Specified Notes Amendments”). Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, we each agree to negotiate the Amendments in good faith.

1. Commitments.

In connection with the foregoing, Lugard is pleased to advise you of its commitment to (i) provide to Waitr additional senior secured first priority term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $42,080,000 (the “Additional Term Loans”) under the Credit Agreement as described in Exhibit A hereto (the “Summary of Terms”) and (ii) consent to the Specified Notes Amendments. The foregoing transactions described in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) are referred to herein collectively as the “Transactions”. The Term Sheet (as defined below), together with this letter agreement, are referred to herein collectively as the “Commitment Letter”.

2. Conditions Precedent to Commitment.

Lugard’s commitment to consummate the Transactions is subject only to the conditions set forth in Exhibit B hereto (the “Conditions Annex” and, together with the Summary of Terms, collectively, the “Term Sheet”).

3. Information.

You hereby represent (but only to your knowledge with respect to any of the information referred to below that is provided by another person that is not your affiliate) and covenant that (i) all written information other than projections (“Projections”) and general economic or industry information (the “Information”) that has been and will be made available to us by Waitr Holdings, Waitr, the Target or any of your or its respective affiliates or representatives, when taken as a whole, is and will be when furnished complete and correct in all material respects and does not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made, when taken as a whole, (after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto through the date furnished) and (ii) the Projections that have been or will be made available to us by Waitr Holdings, Waitr, the Target or any of your or its respective affiliates or representatives have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions (it being understood and agreed that financial projections are not a guarantee of financial performance and actual results may differ from financial projections and such differences may be material). You agree that if at any time prior to the closing and funding of the Additional Term Loans, any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect if the Information or Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will promptly supplement the Information or the Projections, as the case may be, so that such representations will be correct under those circumstances. You understand that in arranging the Additional Term Loans we may use and rely on the Information and Projections without independent verification thereof.

4. Expenses.

You agree, whether or not the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) occurs, to reimburse Lugard, within thirty (30) days of presentation of a summary statement, for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Commitment Letter and the definitive documentation for the Transactions and any ancillary documents in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lugard’s due diligence investigation and fees and disbursements of one outside counsel and, to the extent necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and one regulatory counsel if reasonably required.

10. Indemnification.

You shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Lugard, each of its affiliates, managed funds or accounts, and each of their respective advisors, agents, directors, employees, officers or representatives (each an "Indemnified Person") from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses including legal expenses (but limited, with respect to legal expenses, to fees and disbursements of one outside counsel for the Indemnified Persons (as a group), one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and one regulatory counsel to all the Indemnified Persons (as a group), and, solely, in the event of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel (and, if necessary, one regulatory counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) to each group of similarly situated affected Indemnified Persons), that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Person (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or the preparation of a defense in connection therewith), in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of this Commitment Letter or the Transactions or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transactions, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (i) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or material breach of this Commitment Letter by, such Indemnified Person or any of such Indemnified Person’s controlled affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, or to the extent acting at such Indemnified Person’s direction, advisors or other representatives, (ii) claims between or among Indemnified Persons, but only to the extent of such claims and (iii) any unsuccessful claim brought by an Indemnified Person against you, your affiliates or your respective advisors, agents, directors, employees, officers or representatives. For sake of clarity, an “unsuccessful claim” is a claim with respect to which a court of competent jurisdiction finds in a final, non-appealable judgment in favor of the defendant. If you have admitted in writing your obligation to indemnify one or more Indemnified Parties with respect to a claim, then no such Indemnified Person shall admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any such claim without your prior written consent.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter, none of us, you (or any of your affiliates), the Target (or any of its affiliates) or any Indemnified Person shall be liable for any indirect, special or punitive damages in connection with this Commitment Letter or the Transactions; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall limit your indemnity and reimbursement obligations to the extent that such damages are included in any claim by a third party with respect to which the applicable Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph.

You shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without your written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with your written consent or if there is a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in any such proceeding, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all Losses and related expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with and to the extent provided in the other provisions hereof.  

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnified Person shall be obligated to refund or return any and all amounts paid by you hereunder to such Indemnified Person for any losses to the extent such Indemnified Person is determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof.

11. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship.

You acknowledge that Lugard and/or our affiliates may be investing in, or providing debt financing, equity capital or other services to, other companies with which you may have conflicting interests. You further acknowledge and agree that (a) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between you and Lugard and/or our affiliates has been or will be created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter, irrespective of whether Lugard or our affiliates have advised or are advising you on other matters and (b) you will not assert any claim against Lugard or our affiliates for breach or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agree that neither Lugard nor our affiliates shall have any direct or indirect liability to you in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of you, including your stockholders, employees or creditors.

12. Patriot Act.

We hereby notify you that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001) (the “PATRIOT Act”), we may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower (as set forth in the Term Sheet) and each Guarantor, which information includes the name, address, tax identification number and other information regarding the Borrower and each Guarantor that will allow us to identify the Borrower and each Guarantor in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

Lugard’s offer hereunder will expire automatically and without further action or notice and without further obligation to you at such time in the event that Lugard has not received such executed counterparts in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. This Commitment Letter will become a binding commitment on Lugard only after it has been duly executed and delivered by you in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 13. This Commitment Letter will terminate automatically on the earliest of (i) the date of termination of the Merger Agreement prior to the closing of the Acquisition, (ii) the material breach by you of Section 5 hereof, (iii) March 1, 2019 if the Acquisition has not occurred on or prior to such date and (iv) the closing of the Acquisition with or without the use of the Additional Term Loans. Sections 3 (other than the penultimate sentence thereof), 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and this Section 13 shall survive the termination of this Commitment Letter; provided, that the confidentiality, expense reimbursement and indemnification provisions shall be superseded by the corresponding provisions in the Credit Agreement and the Notes Agreement, as applicable.
