ii.all notices and other reporting delivered to the lenders or agent under the DIP Facility pursuant to the terms thereof, at the same time delivered to the lenders or agent under the DIP Facility.

e.Borrowing Base True-Up. The Borrower shall ensure that the amount of cash on deposit in the Cash Reserve Account as of the end of each Business Day immediately following the date that a Permitted Loan Balance Certificate is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 3(d)(i) results in the Loan Amount being less than or equal to the Permitted Loan Balance as calculated as of the day that is three Business Days prior to the day that such Permitted Loan Balance Certificate is required to be delivered.

f.Cash Reserve Release. Any amounts on deposit in the Cash Reserve Account may be released or applied only with the consent of the Lender Parties; provided that, on any Interest Payment Date, the Lender Parties will release amounts on deposit in the Cash Reserve Account at the written request of the Borrower if:

i.The Release Conditions (other than the absence of a Specified Default or a Servicer Liquidity Event) shall have been satisfied as of such date;

ii.On any date prior to the date of funding of the Delayed Draw, the amount on deposit in the Cash Reserve Account, after giving effect to any release on such date, is at least equal to the amount that was on deposit in the Cash Reserve Account as of the Petition Date (after giving effect to any deposit thereto contemplated by this Agreement);

iii.On the date on or following the date of funding of the Delayed Draw, the amount on deposit in the Cash Reserve Account, after giving effect to any release on such date, is at least equal to the greater of (x) the amount that was on deposit in the Cash Reserve Account as of the Petition Date and (y) the amount on deposit therein as of the funding of the Delayed Draw after giving effect to any true-up as of such date;

iv.Solely for purposes of determining whether amounts may be released from the Cash Reserve Account, the percentage set forth in clause (a)(x) of the definition of Permitted Loan Balance shall be deemed to be reduced from 85% to 80%; and

v.No Termination Event shall have occurred as of such date.

g.Third Party Servicing Agreement. Within 10 days of the Petition Date, (i) the servicing agreement between the Servicer and Healthcare Finance Direct, LLC (“HFD”), with respect to the servicing of the Borrower’s receivables, shall be novated (or a new servicing agreement entered into) to the Borrower or the Back-up Servicer on terms reasonably acceptable to the Lender Parties, (ii) the Servicing Agreement shall be amended on terms reasonably acceptable to the Lender Parties to reflect the reduced services to be provided by the Servicer and the reduced fee to be paid thereto (i.e., to take account of direct compensation to be paid by the Borrower to Healthcare Finance Direct, LLC).

h.Liquidation Plan. The Credit Parties (i) will cooperate in preparing and will agree to a liquidation plan for the Borrower’s receivables and other assets reasonably acceptable to the Lender Parties within 30 days of the Petition Date that includes facilitating call center and other operations by HFD or another party selected by the Lender Parties and (ii) agree to assist in the implementation of such plan if a Termination Event occurs.

i.Advance Rate Decrease. In the event that the Exit Date has not occurred within 90 days following the Petition Date, the percentage set forth in clause (a)(x) of the definition of Permitted Loan Balance shall immediately be deemed to be reduced from 85% to 82.5% on such 90th day and will be deemed to reduce by an additional 2.5% as of the end of each thirty (30) day period thereafter and, in each case, the definition of Permitted Loan Balance shall be deemed so amended for all purposes under the Transaction Documents; provided that, such percentage shall be deemed to be restored to 85% upon the occurrence of the Exit Date.

j.Lender Expenses. The Borrower shall reimburse the Lender Parties for all Lender Expenses, within ten (10) calendar days of the submission of each invoice by the Lender Parties, which invoices may be redacted or modified to the extent appropriate to protect any information subject to attorney-client privilege, information constituting attorney work product, or other confidential information; provided, that the Borrower reserves the right to reasonably request additional detail regarding the services rendered and expenses incurred by any professionals for the Lender Parties.

provided by the Borrower to the Lender Parties.

i.modify the definition of Permitted Loan Balance and any other applicable provisions such that Collections and all other amounts available to the Borrower are required to be applied to the Loan Amount on each Interest Payment Date based on a target loan-to-value ratio that has the effect of reducing the Loan Amount by 5% on each such date with such payments accompanied by the prepayment premium provided for in the Loan Agreement;

ii.implement the provisions of Section 3(b), (d), (g), (h) and (k) above on a permanent basis such that they will apply following the Exit Date; and

iii.Revise the definitions of Servicer Liquidity Event and Warm-Back-Up Servicing Trigger Event and Section 8.01(t) of the Loan Agreement to revise the dollar amounts set forth in each of the foregoing to reflect the circumstances of the Borrower and the Credit Parties as of the Exit Date.
