CONSENTS

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the terms and conditions set forth in this Limited Consent, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Jackson hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Extension of Existing Maturity Date. Pursuant to this Limited Consent, the Existing Maturity Date set forth in the Jackson Note, in each instance, shall be deleted and replaced with October 14, 2022. In addition, each reference (if any) to the Existing Maturity Date set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement and each other agreement executed in connection therewith shall also be amended to October 14, 2022.

 

2. Confirmation of Representations and Warranties; Reaffirmation of Security Interest.

 

(a) Each Obligor hereby confirms that all of the representations and warranties set forth in Note Purchase Agreement are true and correct in all material respects with respect to such Borrower as of the date hereof, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, and covenants to perform its respective obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement. To induce Jackson to enter into this Limited Consent, the Obligors represent and warrant that:

 

(i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing as of the date hereof;

 

 

 

 

(ii) as of the date hereof and, immediately after giving effect to this Limited Consent and the transactions contemplated hereby, the representations and warranties of the Obligors contained in the Note Purchase Agreement, the Jackson Note, or any other documents, instruments and agreements executed or delivered in connection with any of the foregoing are true and correct in all material respects (or if any representation or warranty is qualified with respect to materiality, in all respects) on and as of the date hereof to the same extent as though made on and as of such date except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date; and

 

(iii) the execution, delivery and performance by the Obligors of this Limited Consent are within each of its corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and this Limited Consent is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Obligors, enforceable against the Obligors in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles, and neither the execution, delivery or performance by the Obligors of this Limited Consent (A) violates any law, or any other rule or decree of any Governmental Authority, (B) conflicts with or results in the breach or termination of, constitutes a default under or accelerates any performance required by, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, agreement or other instrument to which the Obligors or the Company is a party or by which the Obligors or the Company or any of its property is bound, except for such conflicts, breaches, terminations, defaults or accelerations that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (C) results in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the Collateral, (D) violates or conflicts with the by-laws or other organizational documents of the Obligors, or (E) requires the consent, approval or authorization of, or declaration or filing with, any other Person, except for those already duly obtained.

Nothing herein is intended to impair or limit the validity, priority or extent of Agent’s security interests in and Liens on the Collateral. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Collateral secures repayment of the Obligations, and in furtherance thereof, the Obligors hereby reaffirm the grant to Jackson, for the benefit of itself, of a continuing first priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) on and security interest in all of the Collateral as security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, and for the payment and performance of all obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Jackson Note, or any other documents, instruments and agreements executed or delivered in connection with any of the foregoing.

 

3. Enforceability. This Limited Consent constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Obligor, and is enforceable against each Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.

 

4. Reaffirmation of Security Interest. Each of the Obligors confirms and agrees that: (i) all security interests and liens granted to Jackson continue in full force and effect, and (ii) all Collateral remains free and clear of any liens other than liens in favor of Jackson and Permitted Liens. Nothing herein contained is intended to impair or limit the validity, priority and extent of Jackson’s security interest in and liens upon the Collateral.
