Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms under the Loan Agreement.
Obligors have informed Agent and Lenders that Safariland and The Safariland Group Nederland B.V. ("Safariland Foreign Holdco") entered into that certain Share Purchase Agreement dated as of May 20, 2019, a true, correct and complete copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Purchase Agreement"; collectively with all other documents, instruments, agreements, and certificates executed and delivered in connection therewith, the "Sale Documents"), among Safariland, Safariland Foreign Holdco, and Wing Inflatables, Inc. ("Purchaser"), pursuant to which Safariland and Safariland Foreign Holdco intend to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser intends to purchase from Safariland and Safariland Foreign Holdco, all of the Equity Interests of Mustang Holdings and Canadian Borrower for an aggregate cash consideration in an amount equal to $27,000,000, plus or minus the applicable adjustments under the Sale Documents (collectively, the "Cash Proceeds"). Such sale transaction is collectively referred to herein as the "Mustang Sale Transaction."

In connection with the Mustang Sale Transaction, Obligors have requested that Agent and Lenders enter into this Amendment and consent to (x) release each of Mustang Holdings, Mustang Survival, Mustang Manufacturing and Canadian Borrower (collectively, the "Mustang Entities" and each individually, a "Mustang Entity") from its duties and obligations under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (y) release Agent's Lien upon (i) the Equity Interests of Mustang Holdings, Mustang Survival and Mustang Manufacturing, (ii) all assets of each Mustang Entity, including, without limitation, all Collateral owned by each Mustang Entity, and (iii) the deposit account ending in 0831 maintained by Safariland with Bank of America, N.A.

The Mustang Sale Transaction is not permitted by, among other provisions, Section 10.2.6 of the Loan Agreement. The Mustang Purchase Restructuring Transactions are not permitted by, among other provisions, Sections 10.2.4, 10.2.5, 10.2.6, 10.2.8, 10.2.17 and 10.2.20 of the Loan Agreement. Obligors have requested that Agent and Lenders consent to the Mustang Sale Transaction and the Mustang Purchase Restructuring Transactions, notwithstanding such prohibitions.

(c) Each Continuing Obligor hereby (i) consents to the release of each Mustang Entity as a "Borrower" and an "Obligor" under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (ii) acknowledges and agrees that (A) neither such release nor anything contained in this Amendment shall modify in any respect whatsoever such Continuing Obligor's Obligations, covenants, duties, indebtedness and liabilities as a "Borrower" or a "Guarantor", as applicable, and "Obligor" under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, all of which are hereby ratified, reaffirmed and shall remain in full force and effect, (B) the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Continuing Obligor is a party are the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Continuing Obligor that are enforceable against such Continuing Obligor in accordance with the terms thereof, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law affecting or relating to the rights of creditors generally or as equitable remedies may be granted only in the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction, and (C) all security interests and Liens granted to or for the benefit of Agent, and all security interests and Liens upon the Collateral (other than the Released Assets) granted to Agent pursuant to the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents remain in full force and effect and secure all Obligations of each Continuing Obligor (or, in the case of each Continuing Obligor that is a Canadian Obligor, the Canadian Obligations) under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, all of which are hereby ratified and confirmed.
