Recitals

A.          Bank and Borrower have entered into that certain Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of April 22, 2020, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement by and between Bank and Borrower dated as of April 23, 2020, but effective as of April 22, 2020, as further amended by that certain Second Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement by and between Bank and Borrower dated as of September 22, 2020 (as the same may from time to time be further amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the “Loan Agreement”).

B.          Bank has extended credit to Borrower for the purposes permitted in the Loan Agreement.

C.          Borrower is currently in default of the Loan Agreement for failing to (i) comply with the minimum EBITDA financial covenant set forth in Section 6.9(a) of the Loan Agreement (prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date) for the month ending December 31, 2020, and (ii) execute and deliver an amendment to set the 2021 EBITDA Covenant as required by Section 6.9(a) of the Loan Agreement (prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date) on or before February 28, 2021 (collectively, the “Existing Defaults”).

D.          Borrower has notified Bank that it has entered into that certain Business Combination Agreement dated as of February 15, 2021 by and among Sandbridge Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation, (“Sandbridge”), Project Olympus Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“Merger Sub”), and Borrower (the “Merger Agreement”, and, together with the other material documents executed in connection with the Merger Agreement, the “Merger Documents”). Pursuant to the Merger Documents, Borrower intends to merge with and into Merger Sub and become a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Sandbridge (the “Merger”).

E.          Pursuant to Sections 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3 of the Loan Agreement, Borrower is required to obtain Bank’s prior written consent before consummating the Merger.

F.          Borrower has requested that Bank (i) waive the Existing Defaults, (ii) consent to the Merger, and (iii) amend the Loan Agreement to make certain revisions to the Loan Agreement as more fully set forth herein.


G.          Bank has agreed to (i) waive the Existing Defaults, (ii) consent to the Merger, and (iii) amend certain provisions of the Loan Agreement, but only to the extent, in accordance with the terms, subject to the conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties set forth below.

Agreement

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.          Definitions.  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement, including its preamble and recitals, shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement.

2.          Waiver of Existing Defaults. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that unless the Existing Defaults are waived by Bank, such Existing Defaults would constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Documents.  Bank hereby waives the Existing Defaults and waives any rights and remedies against Borrower under the Loan Documents solely with respect to the Existing Defaults.  Bank’s agreement to waive the Existing Defaults shall in no way obligate Bank to make any other modifications to the Loan Agreement or to waive Borrower’s compliance with any other terms of the Loan Documents, and shall not limit or impair Bank’s right to demand strict performance of all other terms and covenants of the Loan Agreement or any of the Loan Documents as of any date.  The waiver set forth above shall not be deemed or otherwise construed to constitute a waiver of any other provisions of the Loan Agreement or any of the Loan Documents in connection with any other transaction.

3.          Consent.  Subject to Borrower’s satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank hereby consents to the Merger.  The consummation of the Merger shall not, in and of itself, constitute a default or “Event of Default” under Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 of the Loan Agreement.  Bank’s agreement to consent to the Merger shall in no way obligate Bank to make any other modifications to the Loan Agreement or to waive compliance with any other terms of the Loan Documents, and shall not limit or impair Bank’s right to demand strict performance of all other terms and covenants as of any date.  The consent set forth herein shall not be deemed or otherwise be construed to constitute a consent or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Agreement or any other terms of the Loan Documents in connection with any other transaction.

4.          Amendments to Loan Agreement.

4.1          Section 1 (ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS).  The fourth (4th) sentence of Section 1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

Notwithstanding any terms in this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of any financial covenant and other financial calculations in this Agreement (other than for purposes of updating the Borrowing Base) which are made in whole or in part based upon the Availability Amount as of the last day of a particular month, calculations relying on information from a Borrowing Base Statement shall be derived from the Borrowing Base Statement delivered either (i) no later than Friday of each week, prior to the Qualifying Liquidity Event Date, or (ii) within seven (7) days after the last day of each month, on and after the Qualifying Liquidity Event Date, in each case, pursuant to Section 6.2(a) (and not, for clarity, any more recent Borrowing Base Statement delivered after such period), and the actual delivery date of such Borrowing Base Statement shall be deemed to be the last day of the applicable month.

4.2          Section 6.2 (Financial Statements, Reports, Certificates).  Sections 6.2(a) and (b) of the Loan Agreement are hereby amended by deleting them in their entirety and replacing them with the following:

4.3          Section 6.3 (Accounts Receivable). Sections 6.3(c) and (d) of the Loan Agreement are hereby amended by deleting them in their entirety and replacing them with the following:

(c)          Collection of Accounts.  Borrower shall direct Account Debtors to deliver or transmit all proceeds of Accounts into a lockbox account, or via electronic capture into a “blocked account” as specified by Bank (either such account, the “Cash Collateral Account”).  Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall immediately deliver all payments on and proceeds of Accounts to the Cash Collateral Account.  Subject to Bank’s right to maintain a reserve pursuant to Section 6.3(d), all amounts received in the Cash Collateral Account shall be (i) while an Event of Default exists and is continuing, at Bank’s option in its sole discretion, applied to immediately reduce the Obligations, and (ii) otherwise transferred on a daily basis to Borrower’s operating account with Bank.  Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to transfer to the Cash Collateral Account any amounts that Bank reasonably determines are proceeds of the Accounts (provided that Bank is under no obligation to do so and this allowance shall in no event relieve Borrower of its obligations hereunder).

(d)          Reserves.  Notwithstanding any terms in this Agreement to the contrary, at times when an Event of Default exists, Bank may hold any proceeds of the Accounts and any amounts in the Cash Collateral Account that are not applied to the Obligations pursuant to Section 6.3(c) above (including amounts otherwise required to be transferred to Borrower’s operating account with Bank) as a reserve to be applied to any Obligations regardless of whether such Obligations are then due and payable.
