(i)
In lieu of making that certain principal payment in the amount of $15,000,000 on March 21, 2024 as required pursuant to Section 2(e) of the Note (the “Designated Principal Payment Installment”), the Company may (but shall not be required to) pay such Designated Principal Payment Installment as follows: (A) $11,500,000 of such Designated Principal Payment Installment on or before March 15, 2024 (such amount, the “Initial Portion”), and (B) $3,500,000 upon receipt by the Company of certain designated cash proceeds to be received by the Company, the details of which have been disclosed to the Holders on or prior to the date hereof, and in any event on or before March 21, 2024, and, in each case, the Holders hereby consent thereto; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that making payment of any portion of such Designated Principal Payment Installment on or before March 21, 2024 shall not constitute the making of a voluntary prepayment under Section 2(f) of the Note and notice of such Designated Principal Payment Installment, any requirement that the Equity Conditions be satisfied, and any requirement to make or pay any Make-Whole Amount, prepayment premium or any penalty, in each case, as described in Section 2(f) of the Note shall not be applicable with respect to the Designated Principal Payment Installment, and the Holder hereby waives any such requirements with respect to the Designated Principal Payment Installment.
(ii)
Upon receipt of the Initial Portion of the Designated Principal Payment Installment in accordance with the terms of Section 2(a)(i) above, the Holder hereby consents and agrees that, notwithstanding the minimum Liquidity requirements set forth in Section 7(b)(x) of the Note, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be required to maintain the following minimum Liquidity during the specified time periods, rather than and in lieu of the current requirements set forth in Section 7(b)(x) of the Note: (i) from and after March 1, 2024 until May 1, 2024, $0, (ii) from and after May 1, 2024 until June 1, 2024, $1,000,000 of Liquidity, (iii) from and after June 1, 2024 until June 21, 2024, $2,500,000 of Liquidity, and (iv) on June 21, 2024 and at all times

 


 

thereafter, $5,000,000 of Liquidity; provided, that the foregoing consent shall be rescinded and of no further force and effect and the requirements set forth in Section 7(b)(x) of the Note shall be reinstated to the extent the full amount of the Designated Principal Payment Installment is not paid on or before March 21, 2024.
(b)
The foregoing limited consent (i) is a one-time consent, (ii) is expressly limited to the transactions described above in Section 2(a), (iii) shall not be deemed or otherwise construed to constitute a consent to any other transaction, whether or not similar to the transactions described above in Section 2(a) and (iv) shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Agent or any Holder under the Note, any other Transaction Document or any other document, instrument or agreement executed in connection therewith, nor constitute a waiver, release or modification of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s obligations to comply with all terms and conditions of the Note and other Transaction Documents, except as expressly set forth herein. The Agent and the Holders have granted the limited consent set forth in Section 2(a) in this particular instance and in light of the facts and circumstances that presently exist, and the grant of such consent shall not constitute a course of dealing or impair the Agent’s or any Holder’s right to withhold any similar consent in the future.

(b)
The Company (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries) hereby (i) affirms that each of the Liens granted in or pursuant to the Security Documents are valid and subsisting, and (ii) agrees that this Consent Letter and all documents executed in connection herewith shall in no manner impair or otherwise adversely affect any of the Liens granted in or pursuant to the Security Documents and such Liens continue unimpaired with the same priority to secure repayment of all Obligations in accordance with the Transaction Documents, whether heretofore or hereafter incurred.
