R E C I T A L S

B.    The Borrower has requested that the Lenders consent to (a) an extension until September 30, 2021 for the period specified in Section 6.1(a)(ii) to deliver (i) the consolidated unaudited balance sheets of Superior Topco and its consolidated subsidiaries and (ii) the consolidated profit and loss statements of Superior Topco and its consolidated subsidiaries, in each case, for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2021 and (b) an extension until October 31, 2021 for the period specified in Section 6.1(a)(ii) to deliver (i) the consolidated unaudited balance sheets of Superior Topco and its consolidated subsidiaries, and (ii) the consolidated profit and loss statements of Superior Topco and its consolidated subsidiaries, in each case, for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021 and (c) an extension until October 31, 2021 for the period specified in Section 6.1(a)(iii) for (i) the consolidated unaudited balance sheets of Superior Topco and its consolidated subsidiaries, (ii) the consolidated profit and loss statements of Superior Topco and its consolidated subsidiaries and (iii) the cash flow statements of Superior Topco and its consolidated subsidiaries, in each case, for the calendar months ending April 30, 2021, May 31, 2021, July 31, 2021 and August 31, 2021 (collectively, the “Financials Extension Request”). Such financial statements referred to in clause (a)(i)-(ii) hereof are defined herein as the “Q1 Financial Statements”, such financial statements referred to in clause (b)(i)-(ii) hereof are defined herein as the “Q2 Financial Statements” and such financial statements referred to in clause (c)(i)-(iii) hereof are defined herein as the “Monthly Financial Statements”.

C.    Under the First Amendment, and in connection with the May 2021 Waiver and this Waiver, the Borrower has notified the Lenders that Superior TopCo may be unable to deliver to the SEC its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2021 (the “Q1 10-Q”), within the time period required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the SEC (the “Q1 10-Q Deadline”). Accordingly, under the First Amendment (and reaffirmed in the May 2021 Waiver), the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders agreed to waive compliance with Sections 4.2(a)(ii) and 6.7(a), in each case, solely to the extent arising from the failure of Superior TopCo to deliver the Q1 10-Q by the Q1 10-Q Deadline (the “Q1 10-Q Compliance Waiver”). The Borrower also notifies the Lenders that Superior TopCo may be unable to deliver to the SEC its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021 (the “Q2 10-Q”), within the time period required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the SEC (the “Q2 10-Q Deadline”).

D.    The Borrower has further requested that the Required Lenders waive compliance with certain provisions of the Credit Agreement and reaffirm the 10-Q Compliance Waiver.

E.     NOW, THEREFORE, to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party hereto to enter into this Waiver and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1.    Defined Terms. Each capitalized term used herein but not otherwise defined herein has the meaning given such term in the Credit Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated, all article, exhibit, section and schedule references in this Waiver refer to articles, exhibits, sections and schedules of the Credit Agreement.

6.3.    No Waiver; Loan Document.

6.5.    NO ORAL AGREEMENT. THIS WAIVER, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH AND THEREWITH REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. AS OF THE DATE OF THIS WAIVER, THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company and the Stockholders desire to amend the Stockholders Agreement;

(b)    Entire Agreement. This Amendment, the Stockholders Agreement, the other Organizational Documents, the Plan of Reorganization and any other documents expressly referred to herein, in the Stockholders Agreement or in the Plan of Reorganization embody the complete agreement and understanding among the Parties and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

(c)    Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Amendment will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Amendment is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Amendment will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

(d)    Governing Law. This Amendment and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of laws rules of such state.

(f)    Further Action. The Parties shall execute and deliver all documents, provide all information and take or refrain from taking such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to achieve the purposes of this Amendment.
