(i)             Loan Document Representations. Each of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of such Loan Party to the Agent and Lenders in any of the Loan Documents was true and correct when made, and is true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Effective Date (except for (x) representations and warranties which are already subject to materiality, which shall be true and correct in all respects, and those referring to an earlier date, which shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date, (y) any representations and warranties that no default or Event of Default exists, solely with respect to the Forbearance Defaults, and (z) those items specifically identified on Schedule C hereto), with the same full force and effect as if each of such representations and warranties had been made by such Loan Party on the Effective Date and in this Agreement.

The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by such Loan Party will not violate any requirement of law or contractual obligation of such Loan Party and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any lien on any of its properties or revenues.

7.             Forbearance.

(i)                 In reliance upon the undertakings, representations, warranties, and covenants of each Loan Party contained in this Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any documents or instruments executed in connection herewith, the Agent and the Lenders agree to forbear from further exercising their respective rights and remedies under the Loan Documents or applicable law in respect of or arising out of the Forbearance Defaults for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the Forbearance Termination Date (as defined below) (the “Forbearance Period”).

(ii)           As used herein, the “Forbearance Termination Date” means the date that is the earliest of: (a) January 29, 2024; (b) the date on which any Loan Party commences, or threatens in writing to commence, any litigation against the Agent or any Lender; (c) the date on which any Loan Party takes any action inconsistent with the Agent’s or any Lender’s interests in the Collateral; (d) the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding by or against any Loan Party; (e) any amendment to the Loan Parties’ Operating Documents, or the Company’s entry into any stockholders agreement or other Operating Document, which in any way amends or alters (other than such amendments or agreements as are required in order to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement and which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Agent) (A) the composition of the Loan Parties’ Governing Bodies, including providing any stockholder or other Person with any right to designate a director, (B) the relative voting rights of members of such Governing Bodies or stockholders, or (C) the terms of the Loan Parties’ governance, or (f) the occurrence or existence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under any Loan Document, or any event or circumstance which, with notice or the passage of time, shall become an Event of Default (an “Unmatured Default”), other than the Forbearance Defaults.

An “Insolvency Proceeding” means any case or proceeding commenced by or against a Person under any Debtor Relief Law, or any agreement of such Person with respect to relief available under any Debtor Relief Law.

(iii)          Immediately upon termination of the Forbearance Period the agreement of the Lenders to forbear shall automatically and without further action terminate and be of no force and effect, it being expressly agreed that the effect of such termination will be to permit the Agent and each Lender to exercise immediately all rights and remedies available to it under the Loan Documents and applicable law, including, without limitation, to accelerate all of the Obligations and impose the Default Rate, in each case without any further notice, demand, presentment, protest, passage of time, or forbearance of any kind (all of which each Loan Party hereby expressly waives).

(iv)          The Loan Parties understand and accept the temporary nature of the forbearance provided hereby, and the Loan Parties further acknowledge and agree that the Agent and the Lenders have given no assurances, written or oral, that they will extend such forbearance or provide waivers or amendments to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. Nothing in this Forbearance Agreement constitutes a legal obligation on the Agent or any Lender to participate in any restructuring of the Credit Agreement or to execute any related documents and no such obligation shall arise except pursuant to definitive documentation acceptable to and executed by the Agent and the Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion.

(v)           In connection with and in consideration for entering into this Agreement on the terms set forth herein, the Loan Parties shall pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a forbearance fee in the amount of $250,000 (the “Forbearance Fee”), which Forbearance Fee shall not be refundable for any reason and shall be fully earned on the Effective Date.

10.           Other Waivers; Reservation of Rights.

(i)            The Agent and Lenders have not waived, nor do they have any intention of waiving, any Events of Default or Unmatured Defaults which may be continuing on the Effective Date or any Events of Default which may occur after the Effective Date (whether the same or similar to the Forbearance Defaults or otherwise), and the Agent and Lenders have not agreed to forbear with respect to any of their respective rights or remedies concerning any other Events of Default or Unmatured Defaults (other than, during the Forbearance Period, the Forbearance Defaults to the extent expressly set forth herein), occurring at any time.

The Agent and Lenders have not waived any of such rights or remedies, and nothing in this Agreement, and no delay on the Agent’s or any Lender’s part in exercising any such rights or remedies, should be construed as a waiver of or limitation on such rights or remedies. Each Loan Party shall continue to comply with all limitations, restrictions, covenants and prohibitions that would otherwise be effective or applicable under the Loan Documents.

11.           Additional Defaults. Each of the Loan Parties acknowledges, confirms, and agrees that any misrepresentation by any Loan Party, or any failure of any Loan Party to comply with the covenants, conditions, and agreements contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other agreement, document, or instrument at any time executed and/or delivered by such Loan Party with, to or in favor of the Agent or the Lenders, shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In the event any person other than the Agent and the Lenders shall at any time, for any reason, exercise any of its rights or remedies against any Loan Party or such Loan Party’s property or assets which would in any way affect the Collateral or the Agent’s liens thereon on rights thereto, such event shall constitute an immediate Event of Default hereunder and an Event of Default under the Loan Documents.

At such times reasonably requested by Agent, the Loan Parties and the Investment Banker in respect of the Capital Raise shall conduct a telephonic meeting, to be attended by management representatives of the Loan Parties, the Investment Banker, and Agent, during which the Loan Parties and the Investment Banker shall present to Agent on the work done and planned to be done by the Investment Banker and the Loan Parties in connection with each Capital Raise and the results and projected results of such work.

The Loan Parties shall fully cooperate with, and shall not impede, contest or otherwise interfere with such efforts.

(iii)           Access to Records.
