This Waiver has been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general applicability affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and (b) the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). This Waiver (w) does not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority or any third party, except for such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (x) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter, bylaws or other organizational documents of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (y) will not violate any order of any Governmental Authority and (z) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon Borrower and its Subsidiaries or assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any such Person.

(ii)No Default has occurred and is continuing or will result after giving effect to this Waiver.

(iii)No Material Adverse Effect has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur after giving effect to this Waiver.

(b)Each Obligor hereby ratifies, confirms, reaffirms, and acknowledges its obligations (including its payment obligations under Section 13.03(a)(i)(z) of the Loan Agreement) under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and agrees that the Loan Documents remain in full force and effect, undiminished by this Waiver, except as expressly provided herein.  By executing this Waiver, Borrower acknowledges that it has read, consulted with its attorneys regarding, and understands, this Waiver.

(c)Borrower, each Guarantor, Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that, upon an event of an acceleration or other mandatory prepayment event, the “Redemption Date” for purposes of calculating the Prepayment Premium due and payable upon such acceleration or other mandatory prepayment will be date of such acceleration or such obligation to mandatorily prepay arose.

This Section 5 is for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders only and, as a result, none of Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be prevented from taking proceedings in any other courts with jurisdiction.  To the extent allowed by applicable Laws, Administrative Agent and the Lenders may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

(c)Waiver of Jury Trial.  Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Waiver, the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Except as expressly stated herein, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of compliance with any term or condition contained in the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or constitute a course of conduct or dealing among the parties.  Except as expressly stated herein, Administrative Agent and the Lenders reserve all rights, privileges and remedies under the Loan Documents.  Except as amended hereby, the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents remain unmodified and in full force and effect.  All references in the Loan Documents to the Loan Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the Loan Agreement as amended hereby.    

(b)Severability.  In case any provision of or obligation under this Waiver shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
