The parties entered into the Second Amendment in order to extend the date through which the Company may draw on the Term C Loan (the “Term C Draw Period”) from April 1, 2024 to June 1, 2024. Other than as set forth in the Second Amendment, the Amended Loan Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without alteration or amendment.
