| (a) | Each      Holder hereby agrees that during the Forbearance Period it will not (x)      take any Remedial Action with respect to the Notes in connection with the      Existing Default or the Payment Default or (y) sell, pledge, hypothecate      or otherwise transfer any Notes, except to (A) a purchaser or other entity      who agrees in writing with the transferor (with a copy to and for the      benefit of the Morris Companies) prior to such transfer to be bound by all      of the terms of this Agreement with respect to the relevant Notes being      transferred to such purchaser, (B) a party who is already a signatory      hereto, (C) an entity that, as of the date hereof, was, and as of the date      of transfer, continues to be an entity that controls, is controlled by or      is under common control with the transferor; provided,      however,      that in the case of either (B) or (C) above, such party or entity, as the      case may be, shall automatically and without further action be subject to      the terms of this Agreement and deemed a party hereto. This Agreement      shall in no way be construed to preclude any Holder from acquiring      additional Notes, to the extent permitted by applicable law. However, such Holder shall, automatically and without      further action, be subject to this Agreement with respect to any Notes so      acquired. The foregoing limited forbearance shall not be construed to      impair the ability of the Holders or the Indenture Trustee to exercise any      rights or remedies under the Indenture or take any Remedial Action at any      time after the Forbearance Period (regardless of whether or not such      Remedial Action relates to actions taken or payments received during the      Forbearance Period), or during the Forbearance Period for Defaults or      Events of Default other than the Existing Default and the Payment Default,      and nothing herein shall restrict, impair or otherwise affect the exercise      of the Holders’ rights under thisAgreement. |
|-----|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (b) | The      Holders’ forbearance, as provided herein, shall immediately cease on the      Forbearance Termination Date without requirement for any notice, demand or      presentment of any kind, and the Issuers and Guarantors at such time shall      be obligated to comply with and perform all terms, conditions and      provisions of the Indenture and the Notes without giving effect to the      forbearance set forth herein, and the Indenture Trustee and the Holders      may at any time thereafter proceed to exercise any and all of their rights      and remedies, including without limitation, their rights and remedies in      connection with the Existing Default, the Payment Default (if applicable)      and any other Defaults or Events of Default under the Indenture or rights      under this Agreement. |

| (c) | The      Holders’ forbearance is further expressly subject to and conditioned upon      the Morris Companies’ strict compliance with each and every material term      and provision of this Agreement, and, except with respect to the Existing      Default and the Payment Default, the Morris Companies’ strict compliance      with each and every term and provision of the Indenture and Notes, except      as such terms and provisions are modified by this    Agreement. |
|-----|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (d) | Each      of the Holders acknowledges that it will request that the Indenture      Trustee not take any Remedial Action, including without limitation, any      action to accelerate the Notes during the Forbearance Period. In the event      that the Indenture Trustee takes any action to declare all of the Notes      immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Indenture      during the Forbearance Period solely due to the Existing Default or the      Payment Default, the Holders agree, pursuant to Section 6.2 of the      Indenture, to promptly rescind and cancel such acceleration; provided,      however,      that if the Holders rescind and cancel such acceleration by the Indenture      Trustee, each Holder shall defer its right to receive any cure of the      Payment Default until the end of the Forbearance Period; provided,      further,      however,      that such rescission and deferral shall be of no further force and effect      to the extent that the Forbearance Period with respect to this Agreement      or the waiver period identified in Section 2 of Waiver No. 3 has      ended. |

|-----------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (a) | Representations      and Warranties. (i) immediately before and after giving effect to      this Agreement, No Default or Event of Default (other than the Existing      Default) has occurred under the Indenture or is continuing and (ii) they      are not aware of any representation or warranty made by the Morris      Companies that is contained in the Indenture, any Note or this Agreement      (as applicable) that is untrue or incorrect in any material respect as of      the date hereof, except to the extent that such representation or warranty      expressly relates to an earlier date, in which case it shall be true and      correct in all material respects as of such earlier      date. |

Each of      the Morris Companies’ execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement      does not conflict with, or constitute a violation or breach of, or      constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any      Lien upon the property of the Morris Companies by reason of the terms of      (i) any contract, mortgage, lease, agreement, indenture or instrument to      which the Morris Companies are a party or which is binding upon them or      any one of them or any of their properties, (ii) any law or regulation or      order or decree of any court applicable to the Morris Companies, or (iii)      the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, or the certificate of      formation and operating agreement, or other similar organizational      documents, as applicable, of the Morris      Companies. |
