The Company, with the consent of the Consenting Noteholders, desires to modify certain terms and conditions of the Indenture, and the parties hereto, with the consent of the Consenting Noteholders, are willing to agree to the modifications contained in this Amendment, and waive any potential non-compliance with the specified Indenture sections, on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

3.Acknowledgement and Waiver. Subject to the terms of this Amendment, the Trustee and the Consenting Noteholders hereby agree the PPP Loan Incurrence does not, by itself, constitute a Default under Section 4.09 of the Indenture, and the Trustee and Consenting Noteholders waive any potential non-compliance with Section 4.09 of the Indenture as a result of the PPP Loan Incurrence.
4.Ratification. Except as specifically modified hereby, the Indenture, the Bond Documents, and the Collateral Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the Officers’ Certificate of the Company that all conditions precedent have been satisfied, and shall have no duty to verify the satisfaction of the foregoing conditions.

​
