forbearance
agreement to 

INDENTURE
GOVERNING THE LUXOR CONVERTIBLE NOTES

 

This FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT
TO INDENTURE GOVERNING THE LUXOR CONVERTIBLE NOTES (this “Agreement”), dated as of December 31, 2015, is entered
into by and among RCS Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), and the affiliates of Luxor
Capital Group, LP whose names appear on the signature pages hereto and who together own all of the outstanding 5.00% Convertible
Senior Notes due 2021 of the Issuer (the “Notes” and the holders thereof collectively, the “Holder”).

 

RECITALS:

 

A.           The
Issuer issued those certain Luxor Convertible Notes to the Holder pursuant to the Indenture between the Issuer and Wilmington Trust,
National Association, as Trustee, dated as of April 29, 2014 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Indenture”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have
the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Indenture.

 

B.           The
Issuer hereby acknowledges and confirms that each Default and Event of Default set forth on Exhibit A hereto (referred to
as the “Specified Defaults”) has occurred and is continuing. The Issuer further acknowledges and confirms that
the Specified Defaults have not been waived by the Trustee or the Holder or cured by or on behalf of the Issuer.

 

C.           The
Issuer acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the existence of the Specified Defaults, the Trustee and the Holder have the
right to exercise their rights and remedies under the Indenture. The Issuer has requested, notwithstanding that the Specified Defaults
exist and are continuing under the Indenture and have not been waived or cured, that the Holder forbears, and direct the Trustee
to forbear, from exercising remedial rights on account of such Specified Defaults from the date upon which this Agreement becomes
effective until the earlier of (i) 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on January 29, 2016 and (ii) the occurrence of a Terminating Event,
as such term is defined in Section 3 herein and subject to the final paragraph thereof (the “Forbearance Period”)
(and, for the sake of clarity, in no event shall such Forbearance Period extend beyond 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on January
29, 2016, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Holder).

 

D.           Solely
with respect to the Specified Defaults, the Holder has agreed to forbear, and direct the Trustee to forbear, from exercising remedial
rights under the Indenture, applicable law and otherwise, but only subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set
forth herein. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the agreements of the Holder to forbear, and to direct the Trustee
to forbear, in the exercise of their respective rights and remedies under the Indenture in respect of the Specified Defaults during
the Forbearance Period do not in any manner whatsoever limit any right of the Holder to insist upon strict compliance with this
Agreement or the Indenture during the Forbearance Period.

 

    	 	 	 

     

    

 

E.           Nothing
has occurred that constitutes or otherwise can be construed or interpreted as a waiver of, or otherwise impair, modify or limit
in any respect, any rights or remedies any of the Trustee and the Holder have or may have, arising as the result of any Default
or Event of Default (including the Specified Defaults) that has occurred or that may occur, under the Indenture, applicable law
or in equity. The Holder’s actions in entering into this Agreement are without prejudice to the rights of the Holder to pursue
any and all remedies under the Indenture, pursuant to applicable law or in equity available to it in its sole discretion upon the
termination (whether upon expiration thereof or otherwise) of the Forbearance Period.

 

F.           Identification
of the Specified Defaults in this Agreement does not constitute an agreement by the Holder that there are no other Defaults or
Events of Default currently existing under the Indenture, and the Holder has reserved all rights and remedies with respect to any
such other Defaults or Events of Default.

 

G.           The
Issuer on or before the date hereof has entered into additional forbearance agreements in respect of (i) the Senior Unsecured Promissory
Notes, each dated November 9, 2015, in the aggregate principal amount of $15 million (the “Luxor Notes”), (ii)
the First Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2014 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified
from time to time, the “First Lien Credit Agreement”), among the Issuer, as borrower, the lenders party thereto,
and Barclays Bank PLC, as issuing bank, swing line lender, administrative agent and collateral agent, (iii) the Second Lien Credit
Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2014 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time,
the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”), among the Issuer, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, and Bank of America
N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent (the forbearance agreements referred to in clauses (i) through (iii), collectively,
the “Other Forbearance Agreements”).

 

AGREEMENT:

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the mutual promises and covenants herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto covenant and
agree as follows:

 

1.            Incorporation
of Recitals; Forbearance Period; No Waiver.

 

(a)          Incorporation
of Recitals. The Recitals to this Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference as fully set forth herein and the Issuer represents,

Period. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth and in reliance upon the Issuer’s representations, acknowledgments,
agreements and warranties herein contained, including, without limitation, the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described
in Section 5 herein, the Holder agrees, and agrees to direct the Trustee, that during the Forbearance Period they will forbear
from exercising remedial rights under the Indenture solely in respect of the Specified Defaults. The Holder’s agreement to
forbear is temporary and limited in nature and shall not be deemed: (i) to preclude or prevent the Trustee or the Holder from exercising
any rights and remedies under the Indenture, applicable law or otherwise arising on account of (A) any Default or Event of Default
other than the Specified Defaults, (B) the Specified Defaults from and after the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section
3 hereof, or (C) subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7 below, the right to seek payment of attorneys’

amendment to the Notes prior to or after the date of this Agreement and the exercise of the rights and remedies described
under Section 7; (ii) to effect any amendment of the Indenture, which shall remain in full force and effect in accordance
with its terms; (iii) to constitute a waiver of the Specified Defaults or any other Default or Event of Default (whether now existing
or hereafter occurring) (each Default or Event of Default other than any Specified Default, an “Other Default”)
or any term or provision of the Indenture; or (iv) to establish a custom or course of dealing among the Issuer and the Holder.
The Issuer further acknowledges and agrees that interest on the Notes will continue to accrue in accordance with the terms of the
Notes.

 

(c)          No
Waiver. Nothing in this Agreement should in any way be deemed (i) a waiver of the Specified Defaults or any Other Default or
any term or provision of the Indenture or (ii) an agreement to forbear from exercising any rights or remedies with respect to the
Specified Defaults (except as expressly set forth herein) or any Other Default. The Holder has not waived or released, is not by
this Agreement waiving or releasing, and has no present intention of waiving or releasing, the Specified Defaults or any Other
Default, or any remedies or rights of the Trustee or the Holder with respect thereto, all of which are hereby expressly reserved.
Any waiver of the Specified Defaults or any Other Default shall be effective only if set forth in a written instrument executed
and delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.10 of the Indenture.

 

2.            Acknowledgement
and Reaffirmation of Indebtedness. The Issuer hereby expressly reaffirms and assumes all of its obligations and liabilities

and pursuant to and comply fully with all of the terms, conditions, provisions, agreements, representations, undertakings, warranties,
indemnities, guaranties, and covenants contained in the Indenture and the Notes as though such Indenture and the Notes were being
re-executed on the date hereof (except with respect to the Specified Defaults as expressly contemplated herein).

 

3.            Terminating
Events. The obligation of the Holder to forbear, and to direct the Trustee to forbear, from exercising remedies, as provided
herein and subject to the final paragraph of this Section 3, shall terminate upon the occurrence of any one or more of the
following events (each, a “Terminating Event”):

 

(a)          The
Issuer repudiates or asserts a defense to any obligation or liability under this Agreement or the Indenture or makes or pursues
a claim against the Trustee or any Holder; and/or

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

(b)          The
Issuer fails to observe or perform any of its agreements, conditions or undertakings set forth in the Indenture (except with respect
to the Specified Defaults as expressly contemplated herein) and its agreements, conditions or undertakings set forth in this Agreement;
and/or

 

(c)          The
occurrence or existence of any Default or Event of Default under the Indenture (other than the Specified Defaults), or any breach

whether now existing or hereafter occurring; and/or

 

(d)          Any
representation, warranty, statement, covenant or other agreement of the Issuer contained herein or in any financial statements

termination of any of the Other Forbearance Agreements (other than in respect of the Luxor Notes) or the amendment, modification
or substitution of any of the Other Forbearance Agreements (other than in respect of the Luxor Notes) so as to render them less
favorable to the Issuer than the terms of such Other Forbearance Agreements (other than in respect of the Luxor Notes) as of the
effective date of this Agreement; and/or

 

(g)          The
acceleration of, or exercise of any remedies with respect to, any Indebtedness listed on Schedule 2, or any document, agreement
or instrument governing unsecured Indebtedness of the Issuer in excess of $20 million, in each case if not rescinded within 10
days from the date of such acceleration or exercise of remedies; and/or

or applicable law as a result of the existence of the Specified Defaults or any Other Default in such manner as the Trustee or
the Holder in their sole and exclusive discretion determine. Nothing in this Agreement, or the execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement by the Holder, is intended to, or shall, affect any of the rights and remedies (except as expressly provided
herein with respect to the Specified Defaults), if any, of the Holder under the Notes (including, without limitation, this Agreement),
applicable law or equity.

    	 	6	 

     

    

 

(b)          The

or the Notes is invalidated, set aside, declared or found to be void or voidable or required to be repaid to the issuer or to any
trustee, custodian, receiver, conservator, master, liquidator or any other person pursuant to any bankruptcy law or pursuant to
any common law or equitable cause then, to the extent of such invalidation, set aside, voidness, voidability or required repayment,
such payment would be deemed to not have been paid, and the obligations of the Issuer in respect thereof would be immediately and
automatically revived without the necessity of any action by the Holder. The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the documents, agreements and instruments to be executed or delivered herewith.

this Agreement.

Issuer expressly understands and further agrees that the Trustee and the Holder are relying on all terms, covenants, conditions,
warranties and representations set forth in this Agreement as a material inducement to the Holder to enter into this Agreement
and to forbear, and to direct the Trustee to forbear, from exercising the Trustee’s and the Holder’s rights and remedies
as specifically set for herein.

 

10.          Cumulative
Remedies.

 

(a)          Except
as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the rights, powers, authorities, remedies, interests and benefits conferred
upon the Holder by and as provided in this Agreement are intended to supplement, and be in addition to (and shall not in any way
replace, supersede, amend, limit or restrict), the rights, powers, authorities, remedies, interests, and benefits conferred by
the Indenture and applicable law and in equity.

 

(b)          No
delay on the part of the Trustee or the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or remedy under this Agreement or the Indenture

EXHIBIT A

 

SPECIFIED
DefaultS

 

1.          An
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 6.02(g) of the Indenture governing the Luxor Convertible Notes resulting

Lien Credit Agreement, and (ii) principal payments under Section 2.04(a)(ii) of the First Lien Credit Agreement resulting from
the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments (as defined therein).

 

2.          A
Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 6.02(g) of the Indenture governing the Luxor Convertible Notes resulting from
the Borrower’s failure to make (i) interest payments due on December 31, 2015 pursuant to Section 2.06 of the First Lien
Credit Agreement and (ii) interest payments pursuant to Section 2.06 of the Second Lien Credit Agreement, each of which Defaults
will become an Event of Default following the expiration of the applicable grace period under Section 7.01(c) of the First Lien

forbearance
agreement to 

SENIOR
UNSECURED PROMISSORY NOTES

 

This FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT
TO SENIOR UNSECURED PROMISSORY NOTES (this “Agreement”), dated as of December 31, 2015, is entered into by and
among RCS Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), and the holders of those certain Senior
Unsecured Promissory Notes, each dated November 9, 2015, for the aggregate principal amount of $15 million (as the same may be
amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Notes”).

 

RECITALS:

 

A.           The
Issuer issued the Notes to Luxor Capital Partners, L.P., Luxor Wavefront, L.P., Luxor Capital Partners Offshore Master Fund, L.P.
and Thebes Offshore Master Fund, LP (collectively, the “Holders”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined
herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Notes.

 

B.           The
Issuer hereby acknowledges and confirms that each Default and Event of Default set forth on Exhibit A hereto (referred to
as the “Specified Defaults”) has occurred and is continuing. The Issuer further acknowledges and confirms that
the Specified Defaults have not been waived by the Holders or cured by or on behalf of the Issuer.

 

C.           The
Issuer acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the existence of the Specified Defaults, the Holders have the right to exercise
their rights and remedies under the Notes. The Issuer has requested, notwithstanding that the Specified Defaults exist and are
continuing under the Notes and have not been waived or cured, that the Holders forbear from exercising remedial rights on account
of such Specified Defaults from the date upon which this Agreement becomes effective until the earlier of (i) 5:00 p.m. (Eastern
time) on January 29, 2016 and (ii) the occurrence of a Terminating Event, as such term is defined in Section 3 herein and
subject to the final paragraph thereof (the “Forbearance Period”) (and, for the sake of clarity, in no event
shall such Forbearance Period extend beyond 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on January 29, 2016, unless otherwise agreed in writing
by the Holders).

 

D.           Solely
with respect to the Specified Defaults, the Holders have agreed to forbear from exercising remedial rights under the Notes, applicable
law and otherwise, but only subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein. Except as expressly set
forth in this Agreement, the agreements of the Holders to forbear in the exercise of their respective rights and remedies under
the Notes in respect of the Specified Defaults during the Forbearance Period do not in any manner whatsoever limit any right of
any of the Holders to insist upon strict compliance with this Agreement or the Notes during the Forbearance Period.

 

E.           Nothing
has occurred that constitutes or otherwise can be construed or interpreted as a waiver of, or otherwise impair, modify or limit
in any respect, any rights or remedies any of the Holders have or may have, arising as the result of any Default or Event of Default
(including the Specified Defaults) that has occurred or that may occur, under the Notes, applicable law or in equity. The Holders’
actions in entering into this Agreement are without prejudice to the rights of any of the Holders to pursue any and all remedies
under the Notes, pursuant to applicable law or in equity available to any of them in their sole discretion upon the termination
(whether upon expiration thereof or otherwise) of the Forbearance Period.

 

     

     

    

 

F.           Identification
of the Specified Defaults in this Agreement does not constitute an agreement by the Holders that there are no other Defaults or
Events of Default currently existing under the Notes, and the Holders have reserved all rights and remedies with respect to any
such other Defaults or Events of Default.

 

G.           The
Issuer on or before the date hereof has entered into additional forbearance agreements in respect of (i) the Indenture between
the Issuer and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, dated as of April 29, 2014, in connection with the issuance
of Convertible Notes (the “Luxor Convertible Notes”), (ii) the First Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of April
29, 2014 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “First Lien
Credit Agreement”), among the Issuer, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, and Barclays Bank PLC, as issuing bank,
swing line lender, administrative agent and collateral agent, and (iii) the Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of April 29,
2014 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Second Lien Credit
Agreement”), among the Issuer, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent
and collateral agent (the forbearance agreements referred to in clauses (i) through (iii), collectively, the “Other Forbearance
Agreements”).

 

AGREEMENT:

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto
covenant and agree as follows:

 

1.            Incorporation
of Recitals; Forbearance Period; No Waiver.

 

(a)          Incorporation
of Recitals. The Recitals to this Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference as fully set forth herein and the Issuer represents,
warrants, and acknowledges that such Recitals are true and correct. The Issuer hereby acknowledges and confirms (i) the occurrence
and continuance of the Specified Defaults, (ii) that the Specified Defaults are material in nature, (iii) that the Specified
Defaults have not been waived by the Holders or cured by or on behalf of the Issuer, and (iv) that the Holders are entitled to
exercise all rights and remedies under the Notes.

 

(b)          Forbearance
Period. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth and in reliance upon the Issuer’s representations, acknowledgments,
agreements and warranties herein contained, including, without limitation, the satisfaction of the conditions precedent described
in Section 5 herein, the Holders agree that during the Forbearance Period they will forbear from exercising remedial rights
under the Notes solely in respect of the Specified Defaults. The Holders’ agreement to forbear is temporary and limited in
nature and shall not be deemed: (i) to preclude or prevent the Holders from exercising any rights and remedies under the Notes,
applicable law or otherwise arising on account of (A) any Default or Event of Default other than the Specified Defaults, (B) the
Specified Defaults from and after the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section 3 hereof, or (C) subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 7 below, the right to seek payment of attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses
in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and in connection with the negotiation,
documentation and analysis of any proposed “work out”, restructuring, funding or amendment to the Notes prior to or
after the date of this Agreement and the exercise of the rights and remedies described under Section 7; (ii) to effect any
amendment of the Notes, which shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms; (iii) to constitute a waiver
of the Specified Defaults or any other Default or Event of Default (whether now existing or hereafter occurring) (each Default
or Event of Default other than any Specified Default, an “Other Default”) or any term or provision of the Notes;
or (iv) to establish a custom or course of dealing among the Issuer and the Holders. The Issuer further acknowledges and agrees
that interest on the Notes will continue to accrue in accordance with the terms of the Notes.

 

    	 	2	 

     

    

 

(c)          No
Waiver. Nothing in this Agreement should in any way be deemed (i) a waiver of the Specified Defaults or any Other Default or
any term or provision of the Notes or (ii) an agreement to forbear from exercising any rights or remedies with respect to the Specified
Defaults (except as expressly set forth herein) or any Other Default. The Holders have not waived or released, are not by this
Agreement waiving or releasing, and have no present intention of waiving or releasing, the Specified Defaults or any Other Default,
or any remedies or rights of the Holders with respect thereto, all of which are hereby expressly reserved. Any waiver of the Specified
Defaults or any Other Default shall be effective only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered in accordance
with the provisions of the Notes.

 

2.            Acknowledgement
and Reaffirmation of Indebtedness. The Issuer hereby expressly reaffirms and assumes all of its obligations and liabilities
to the Holders as set forth in the Notes and agrees to be bound by and abide by and operate and perform under and pursuant to and
comply fully with all of the terms, conditions, provisions, agreements, representations, undertakings, warranties, indemnities,
guaranties, and covenants contained in the Notes as though such Notes were being re-executed on the date hereof (except with respect
to the Specified Defaults as expressly contemplated herein).

 

3.            Terminating
Events. The obligation of the Holders to forbear from exercising remedies, as provided herein and subject to the final
paragraph of this Section 3, shall terminate upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events (each, a “Terminating
Event”):

 

(a)          The
Issuer repudiates or asserts a defense to any obligation or liability under this Agreement or the Notes or makes or pursues a claim
against any Holder; and/or

 

(b)          The
Issuer fails to observe or perform any of its agreements, conditions or undertakings set forth in the Notes (except with respect
to the Specified Defaults as expressly contemplated herein) and its agreements, conditions or undertakings set forth in this Agreement;
and/or

 

    	 	3	 

     

    

 

(c)          The
occurrence or existence of any Default or Event of Default under the Notes (other than the Specified Defaults), or any breach or
default by the Issuer of any term, covenant, condition, representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement, in each case, whether
now existing or hereafter occurring; and/or

 

(d)          Any
representation, warranty, statement, covenant or other agreement of the Issuer contained herein or in any financial statements
of the Issuer provided to the Holders in connection herewith shall have been false or incorrect in any material respect; and/or

 

(e)          The
release of the Holder Parties set forth below is alleged to be invalid or unenforceable by any claim or proceeding initiated or
commenced in favor of, through, or by the Issuer or any other Person; and/or

 

(f)          The
termination of any of the Other Forbearance Agreements (other than in respect of the Luxor Convertible Notes) or the amendment,
modification or substitution of any of the Other Forbearance Agreements (other than in respect of the Luxor Convertible Notes)
so as to render them less favorable to the Issuer than the terms of such Other Forbearance Agreements (other than in respect of
the Luxor Convertible Notes) as of the effective date of this Agreement; and/or

 

(g)          The
acceleration of, or exercise of any remedies with respect to, any Indebtedness listed on Schedule 2, or any document, agreement
or instrument governing unsecured Indebtedness of the Issuer in excess of $20 million, in each case if not rescinded within 10
days from the date of such acceleration or exercise of remedies; and/or

 

(h)          5:00 p.m.
(Eastern time) on January 29, 2016.

 

Notwithstanding any
provision of the Notes or this Agreement to the contrary, upon the occurrence of a Terminating Event, the Holders may, at their
option, terminate the Forbearance Period and the Holders may, at their option, exercise any and all rights and remedies pursuant
to the Notes or applicable law as a result of the existence of the Specified Defaults or any Other Default in such manner as the
Holders in their sole and exclusive discretion determine.   Nothing in this Agreement, or the execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement by the Holders, is intended to, or shall, affect any of the rights and remedies (except as expressly provided
herein with respect to the Specified Defaults), if any, of any Holder under the Notes (including, without limitation, this Agreement),
applicable law or equity.

 

4.            Covenants
of the Issuer.

 

(a)          Advisors
for the Holders. The Issuer acknowledges that Centerview Partners has been retained as financial advisor for the Holders (the “Holders’
Financial Advisor”), pursuant to the engagement letter dated as of December 11, 2015, and Kramer Levin Naftalis &
Frankel LLP has been retained legal advisor for the Holder (the “Holders’ Legal Advisor” and together

with the Holders’ Advisors and the Holders’ personnel and representatives with respect to, among other things, any
reasonable request for information by the Holders’ Advisors, or such personnel and representatives including, without limitation,

reasonably request from time to time in connection with the Issuer’s or any Subsidiary’s financial condition, assets,

operating unit or groups of units, which include, without limitation, rolling four week cash flow projections, (B) monthly reports

Lenders” under (and as defined in) the First Lien Credit Agreement, the “Required Lenders” under (and as defined
in) the Second Lien Credit Agreement, the Holders and the holders of the Luxor Convertible Notes.

is invalidated, set aside, declared or found to be void or voidable or required to be repaid to the issuer or to any , custodian,
receiver, conservator, master, liquidator or any other person pursuant to any bankruptcy law or pursuant to any common law or equitable
cause then, to the extent of such invalidation, set aside, voidness, voidability or required repayment, such payment would be deemed
to not have been paid, and the obligations of the Issuer in respect thereof would be immediately and automatically revived without
the necessity of any action by the Holders. The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive execution and delivery of
this Agreement and the documents, agreements and instruments to be executed or delivered herewith.

to, the Issuer (either in writing or orally), other than as expressly stated in this Agreement.

 

(c)          The
Issuer expressly understands and further agrees that the Holders are relying on all terms, covenants, conditions, warranties and
representations set forth in this Agreement as a material inducement to the Holders to enter into this Agreement and to forbear
from exercising the Holders’ rights and remedies as specifically set for herein.

 

10.          Cumulative
Remedies.

 

(a)          Except
as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the rights, powers, authorities, remedies, interests and benefits conferred
upon the Holders by and as provided in this Agreement are intended to supplement, and be in addition to (and shall not in any way
replace, supersede, amend, limit or restrict), the rights, powers, authorities, remedies, interests, and benefits conferred by
the Notes and applicable law and in equity.

 

(b)          No
delay on the part of the Holders in the exercise of any power, right or remedy under this Agreement or the Notes at any time shall
operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Holders of any power, right or remedy shall preclude other

interest payments due on December 31, 2015 pursuant to Section 2.06 of the First Lien Credit Agreement and (ii) interest payments
pursuant to Section 2.06 of the Second Lien Credit Agreement, each of which Defaults will become an Event of Default following
