The Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ actions in entering into this Agreement are without prejudice to the rights of any of the Administrative Agent and the other Creditor Parties to pursue any and all remedies under the Finance Documents pursuant to applicable law or in equity available to any of them in their sole discretion upon the Waiver Termination Date.


 


(c)            The obligations of the Borrower and each Guarantor under this Agreement of any nature whatsoever, whether now existing or hereafter arising, are hereby deemed to be “Secured Liabilities” for all purposes of and under the Finance Documents.


 


(d)            This limited waiver of the Specified Potential Events of Default constitutes good and fair consideration offered by the Creditor Parties and this Agreement was negotiated in good faith and at arms’ length.


 


ARTICLE II


LIMITED WAIVER; RESERVATION OF RIGHTS


 


Section 2.01.       Limited Waiver.  At the Borrower’s request and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and covenants of the Borrower Parties contained in this Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party hereto hereby agrees that, prior to the Waiver Termination Date, it shall not declare an Event of Default, nor shall any default or Event of Default be deemed to have occurred,  with respect to the Specified Potential Events of Default and, prior to the Waiver Termination Date shall not exercise or instruct the exercise of, and hereby instructs the Administrative Agent not to exercise, any of the following remedies:


 


(a)       acceleration of amounts payable under the Finance Documents by reason of the Specified Potential Events of Default;


(b)       exercise of foreclosure or similar remedies in respect of Collateral of any Borrower Party, to the extent securing Financial Indebtedness of any Borrower Party under the Finance Documents;


(c)       exercise of remedies under or in respect of guarantees made by the Guarantors under the Finance Documents; or


(d)       exercise of any other remedy under the Finance Documents available solely by reason of the Specified Potential Events of Default.


Section 2.02.       Reservation of Rights; Limited Waiver.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, and except as expressly set forth herein, the Creditor Parties hereby reserve all of their rights, remedies, powers and privileges under the Loan Agreement, the other Finance Documents, any applicable law and equity and do not waive any default or Event of Default which may currently or hereafter exist, and this Agreement shall not be construed as a



- 3 -







waiver thereof.  This Section 2.02 shall survive the Waiver Termination Date until the termination of the Finance Documents and the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Financial Indebtedness of the Borrower Parties under or in respect of the Loan Agreement and the other Finance Documents and all other amounts owing thereunder.  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the agreements of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder to provide this limited waiver to the Specified Potential Events of Default do not in any manner whatsoever limit any right of any of the Creditor Parties to insist upon strict compliance with this Agreement or any Finance Document any time prior to or after the Waiver Termination Date.

ARTICLE IV

 LIMITED WAIVER TERMINATION EVENTS


 


Section 4.01.       Limited Waiver Termination Events.  The agreement of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to provide this limited waiver of the Specified Potential Events of Default pursuant to this Agreement shall immediately and automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect without the need of any action or notice from the Administrative Agent or any other Creditor Party (the date of such termination, the “Waiver Termination Date”) at any time upon the earliest to occur of the following:


 


(a)       the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Loan Agreement (other than the Specified Potential Events of Default);


(b)       the failure by any Borrower Party to perform or observe any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement; and


(c)        March 21, 2014.


From and after the Waiver Termination Date, the Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ agreement hereunder to temporarily waive the Specified Potential Events of Default shall automatically and without further notice or action terminate and be of no further force and



- 5 -







effect, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the immediate and unconditional right, in their discretion (subject to applicable provisions of the Loan Agreement, the other Finance Documents and applicable law), to exercise any or all of their respective rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement, the other Finance Documents and applicable law, including, without limitation, with respect to the Specified Potential Events of Default, including, without limitation, declaration of an Event of Default and enforcement of the liens upon the Collateral or any portion thereof held by the Administrative Agent and the other Creditor Parties.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders have not waived any of such rights or remedies, and nothing in this Agreement, nor any delay on the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ part after the Waiver Termination Date in exercising any such rights or remedies, can be construed as a waiver of any of such rights or remedies except as set forth directly herein.  No acceleration of the Loans and other Financial Indebtedness shall relieve or discharge the Borrower or any Guarantor of their respective duties, covenants and obligations under the Loan Agreement and the other Finance Documents to which it is a party until all Financial Indebtedness has been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full in immediately available funds.  Any Lender that has made a Commitment under the Loan Agreement shall have no obligation to honor such Commitment or make other extensions of credit to the Borrower.  Except with respect to the Specified Potential Events of Default, each of the Borrower and each Guarantor shall comply with all limitations, restrictions, covenants and prohibitions that would otherwise be effective or applicable to it under the Finance Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, and for avoidance of doubt,  if the Borrower has cured the default giving rise to the Specified Potential Event of Default, such Specified Potential Event of Default, solely with respect to the payment of the coupon under the 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes of the Company due February 18, 2014, cannot be made the basis of an Event of Default on and after the Waiver Termination Date.

(b)       except as expressly set forth herein, modify or limit any other term or condition of the Loan Agreement or any other Finance Document or any related documents;

The provisions of this Article V shall survive the Waiver Termination Date until the termination of the Finance Documents and the payment in full of the Financial Indebtedness of the Borrower Parties under or in respect of the Loan Agreement and the other Finance Documents and all other amounts owing thereunder.

Section 6.01.        Release.  Each of the Borrower and each Guarantor (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) and its successors-in-title, legal representatives and assignees and, to the extent the same is claimed by right of, through or under any of the Borrower or any Guarantor for its past, present and future employees, agents, representatives, officers, directors, shareholders, and trustees (each, a “Releasing Party” and collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), does hereby remise, release and discharge, and shall be deemed to have forever remised, released and discharged, the Administrative Agent and each of the other Creditor Parties, and the Administrative Agent’s and each other Creditor Party’s respective successors-in-title, legal representatives and assignees, past, present and future officers, directors, affiliates, shareholders, trustees, agents, employees, consultants, experts, advisors, attorneys and other professionals and all other persons and entities to whom any of the foregoing would be liable if such persons or entities were found to be liable to any Releasing Party, or any of them (collectively hereinafter the “Released Parties”), from any and all manner of action and actions, cause and causes of action, claims, charges, demands, counterclaims, suits, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts, reckonings, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, contracts, controversies, damages, judgments, expenses, executions, liens, claims of liens, claims of costs, penalties, attorneys’ fees, or any other compensation, recovery or relief on account of any liability, obligation, demand or cause of action of whatever nature, whether in law, equity or otherwise (including, without limitation, any so called “lender liability” claims, interest or other carrying costs, penalties, legal, accounting and other professional fees and expenses and incidental, consequential and punitive damages payable to third parties, or any claims arising under 11 U.S.C. §§ 541-550 or any claims for avoidance or recovery under any other federal, state or foreign law equivalent), whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent, joint and/or several, secured or unsecured, due or not due, primary or secondary, liquidated or unliquidated, contractual or tortious, direct, indirect, or derivative, asserted or unasserted, foreseen or unforeseen, suspected or unsuspected, now existing, heretofore existing or which may heretofore accrue against any of the Released Parties solely in their capacities as such under the Finance Documents, whether held in a personal or representative capacity, and which are based on any act, fact, event or omission or other matter,

cause or thing occurring, in each case,  at or from any time prior to and including the date hereof in any way, directly or indirectly arising out of, connected with or relating to the Loan Agreement or any other Finance Document and the transactions contemplated thereby, and all other agreements, certificates, instruments and other documents and statements (whether written or oral) related to any of the foregoing (each, a “Claim” and collectively, the “Claims”).  Each Releasing Party further stipulates and agrees with respect to all Claims, that it hereby waives any and all provisions, rights, and benefits conferred by Cal. Civ. Code 1542 or any law of any state of the United States or of any foreign jurisdiction, or any principle of common law, which is similar, comparable, or equivalent to Cal. Civ. Code 1542, which provides:  “a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor”.  This Section 6.01 shall survive termination of each of this Agreement and each other Finance Document.
