2. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
3. Acknowledgment of Specified Events. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) a breach of its Obligations may soon occur due to a Borrowing Base Deficiency and such event would, with the passage of time, become an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7.1(m) of the Credit Agreement; (b) other Events of Default may occur solely as a result of any Event of Default described in clause (a) above; and (c) a Hot Backup Servicer Event may occur with respect to the Interest Payment Date occurring in May 2020 (each event specified in clause (a) through (c) above, a “Specified Event”). Other than the waiver expressly set forth below, the Administrative Agent reserves all rights under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the Administrative Agent's rights in such regard shall be indefinite from and after the date of this Agreement until withdrawn by the Administrative Agent in writing.
4. No Novation or Release. Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement with respect to any Specified Event, neither this Agreement, nor any payments made or other actions taken pursuant to this Agreement, is intended to cure, and shall not be deemed or construed to cure any other existing defaults under the Credit Documents, or to constitute a reinstatement, novation or release of the Credit Documents or a modification, amendment, or waiver of the Credit Documents. The Administrative Agent reserves all of its rights and remedies in connection with any such other defaults.
5. Waiver.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Requisite Class A Lenders) hereby (a) waives, solely during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Termination Date (as defined below), the occurrence of any Specified Event and (b) agrees that, during such period only, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to exist under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document solely as a result of any Specified Event.

The Administrative Agent shall have the right, any time after the Termination Date, to exercise any and all rights and remedies against the Borrower and the Collateral as set forth in the Credit Documents in equity or at law, to the same extent as the Administrative Agent would be entitled if the Administrative Agent had not entered into this Agreement, and the Borrower expressly consents to the Administrative Agent’s exercise of such remedies in accordance with their terms. Upon expiration of the waiver period, all of the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under the Credit Documents and at law and in equity shall be available without restriction or modification, as if the waiver had not occurred.
