EXHIBIT 10.1

SEPARATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of the 4th day of August, 2005 by and between
ADVANCED ENERGY INDUSTRIES, INC. (“the Company”) and Linda Capuano (“Employee”).

     (1) Employee was laid off from active employment with the Company effective August 22, 2005
(“Separation Date”).

     (2) Within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the revocation period set forth in
paragraph eight (8) below, the Company will pay Employee a lump sum in an amount totaling one
hundred thirty five thousand dollars and zero cents ($135,000.00), subject to and less applicable
withholdings.

     Employee’s group health insurance benefits will terminate effective August 31, 2005.
Following the Separation Date, Employee may continue Company group insurance benefits to the extent
allowed under applicable law (i.e., COBRA).

     (3) On the Separation Date, the Company paid to Employee all paid time off earned and unused
as of the Separation Date. However, Employee will not be entitled to or accrue any additional
vacation or fringe benefit eligibility or participation following the Separation Date, except as
expressly set forth in this Agreement.

     (4) Employee agrees that, except as Employee’s responsibilities with the Company may require,
Employee will not at any time disclose or use any confidential information or data acquired or
developed during Employee’s employment. Further, Employee agrees that Employee will not at any
time engage in any conduct contrary to the interests of the Company or enable others to make use of
sensitive or confidential information of or relating to the Company obtained during Employee’s
employment. If an Employee Agreement was executed, Employee understands and agrees that Employee
remains bound by the provisions of said Employee Agreement which remains in full force and effect.

     (5) For a period of one year after Employee’s Separation Date, Employee agrees that Employee
will not, directly or indirectly, solicit any current employee of the Company, on Employee’s behalf
or on behalf of any other person, company, corporation, or other entity.

     (6) WAIVER AND RELEASE BY EMPLOYEE. In consideration of the payments and other consideration
as set out in this Agreement, the Employee, Employee’s marital community, Employee’s heirs,
executors, administrators, successors, and assigns, hereby knowingly and voluntarily waives,
releases, acquits and forever discharges the Company, and all of its affiliates, partners,
subsidiaries and their respective agents, officers, directors, shareholders and employees from any
liability, action, suit, claim, damages, judgment, known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated,
fixed or contingent which Employee has ever had or ever may have, arising out of or in conjunction
with Employee’s employment with the Company or any of its predecessors or affiliates or the
termination thereof, including, without limitation, claims under federal, state or local common law
or statute, as well as any form of employment discrimination

 

 

prohibited under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Older Workers Benefit
Protection Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act,
ERISA, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and any other local, state or federal anti-discrimination
law or ordinance, any applicable collective bargaining agreement, any applicable wage and hour
laws, and from wrongful discharge, severance pay, breach of contract, breach of any express or
implied promise, retaliation, breach of public policy, defamation, negligence or other tortious
conduct, or any other theory, whether legal or equitable, including any claims which could have
been asserted up to the date of execution of this Agreement.

     The release of claims included in this Agreement is, and is intended to be, broad and
comprehensive and, therefore, covers all claims of whatsoever character and kind, whether known or
unknown, and whether wholly or partially matured on or before the date this Agreement is executed.
Employee expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights and benefits employee has or may have
been afforded by any applicable statute or common law principle relating to limitations on a
release of claims, including without limitation Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which
states as follows:

     A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to
exist in her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by her must have materially
affected her settlement with the debtor.

     Employee acknowledges and understands the significance of this specific waiver of her rights,
including without limitation those provided by Section 1542 of the California Civil Code.

     (7) Employee is hereby advised to consult with an attorney prior to executing this Agreement.
Employee acknowledges that Employee has been granted a period of twenty-one (21) days following the
Separation Date within which to consider this Agreement. Employee acknowledges that if Employee
executes this Agreement prior to the expiration of twenty-one (21) days following the Separation
Date, or if Employee chooses to forego the advice of an attorney, Employee does so freely and
knowingly, and waives any and all future claims that such action or actions would affect the
validity of this Agreement.

     (8) Employee may revoke this Agreement within seven (7) calendar days after signing it.
Notice of revocation must be made in writing and must be received by Edward Hernandez at Advanced
Energy Industries, Inc., 1625 Sharp Point Drive, Fort Collins, Colorado 80525. If Employee revokes
this Agreement, the Company will be immediately released of any further obligation under this
Agreement, the Company may recover any payments already made under this Agreement, and this
Agreement will not be effective or enforceable.

     (9) Employee covenants that Employee has not commenced, and will not commence, legal
proceedings of any type, whether on his own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity,
against the Company or individuals or entities released in this Agreement, or any of their
respective successors or assigns, and further covenants not to maintain, join or assist in any such
legal proceeding, suit, charge, or action.

 

 

     (10) If Employee breaches Employee’s promise in paragraph (9) and files a lawsuit based on
legal claims that Employee has released, Employee will pay for all costs incurred by the Company,
any related subsidiaries, officers, or employees of any of them, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, in defending against Employee’s claim. Employee will also return all sums which were paid to
Employee pursuant to this Agreement.

     (11) Employee agrees to keep the terms of this Agreement strictly confidential and not to
disclose those terms to anyone, except a spouse, attorney, or tax adviser, unless compelled to do
so by compulsory court process. The parties agree that this confidentiality provision is a
material term of this Agreement.

     (12) This Agreement shall be interpreted under the laws of the State of Colorado, without
giving effect to conflict of law principles.

     (13) If any portion of this Agreement shall be held invalid by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the validity of the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected.

     (14) This Agreement supersedes any previous understandings, agreements or correspondence of
the parties on this subject and is binding on the parties, their heirs, executors, administrators,
and successors in interest including without limitation the Executive Change in Control Severance
Agreement between Employee and the Company.

 

 

     (15) This document is the entire Agreement between Employee and the Company. The Company has
made no promises to Employee other than those in this Agreement. This Agreement may not be changed
orally, only in a written document signed by both Employee and the Company. For purposes of this
Agreement, the parties shall be deemed to have participated equally in its drafting.

     (16) Advanced Energy’s D & O insurance coverage indemnifies you against any future claims
against acts occurring during your employment period at Advanced Energy Industries, Inc.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first above
written.

     THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A RELEASE. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING.

      full
      and prompt payment and performance when due, whether at maturity, by
      acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations. Each Obligation shall rank pari
      passu with each other Obligation.

     

    SECTION
      2.2. Obligations
      Several.
      Regardless of whether any proposed Guarantor or any other Person or Persons
      is,
      are or shall become in any other way responsible to the Trustee and the Holders,
      or any of them, for or in respect of the Obligations or any part thereof, and
      regardless of whether or not any Person or Persons now or hereafter responsible
      to the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them, for the Obligations or any
      part
      thereof, whether under the Guaranty or otherwise, shall cease to be so liable,
      each Guarantor hereby declares and agrees that the Guaranty provided thereby
      is
      and shall continue to be a several obligation (as well as a joint one), shall
      be
      a continuing guaranty and shall be operative and binding on such Guarantor.
      Each

      acquire by way of subrogation under the Guaranty, by any payment made hereunder
      or otherwise, unless and until all of the Obligations shall have been paid
      in
      full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such
      subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been
      paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee
      and the Holders and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee to be credited and
      applied upon the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with
      the terms of the Indenture, but subject to the provisions of Section
2.7
      hereof.

      or
      condition affecting or limiting any Guarantor’s liability, and no statement,
      representation, agreement or promise on the part of the Trustee, the Holders,
      the Company, or any of them, or any officer, employee or agent thereof, unless
      contained herein forms any part of this Supplemental Indenture or has induced
      the making hereof or shall be deemed in any way to affect any Guarantor’s
      liability hereunder. The Guarantors’ obligations hereunder shall remain in full
      force and effect until all Obligations shall have been paid in
      full.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    SECTION
      2.4. Dealings
      With the Company.
      The
      Company, the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them, may, from time to time,
      without exonerating or releasing any Guarantor in any way under the Guaranty,
      (i) take such further or other security or securities for the Obligations or
      any
      part thereof as the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them, may deem proper,
      consistent with the Indenture, or (ii) release, discharge, abandon or otherwise
      deal with or fail to deal with any Guarantor of the Obligations or any security
      or securities therefor or any part thereof now or hereafter held by the Trustee
      and the Holders, or any of them, as the Trustee and the Holders, or any of
      them,
      may deem proper, consistent with the Indenture, or (iii) consistent with the
      Indenture, amend, modify, extend, accelerate or waive in any manner any of
      the
      provisions, terms, or conditions of the Indenture and the Guaranteed Securities,
      all as the Company, the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them, may consider
      expedient or appropriate in their sole discretion. Without limiting the
      generality of the foregoing, or of Section 2.5
      hereof,
      it is understood that the Company, the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them,
      may, without exonerating or releasing any Guarantor, give up, or modify or
      abstain from perfecting or taking advantage of any security for the Obligations
      and accept or make any compositions or arrangements, and realize upon any
      security for the Obligations when, and in such manner, as the Trustee and the
      Holders, or any of them, may deem expedient, consistent with the Indenture,
      all
      without notice to any Guarantor.

     

    SECTION
      2.5. Guaranty
      Unconditional.
      Each
      Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that no change in the nature or terms of
      the
      Obligations, the Indenture or the Guaranteed Securities, or other agreements,
      instruments or contracts evidencing, related to or attendant with the
      Obligations (including any novation), nor any determination of lack of
      enforceability thereof, shall discharge all or any part of the liabilities
      and
      obligations of such Guarantor pursuant to the Guaranty; it being the purpose
      and
      intent of the Guarantors, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders that the
      covenants, agreements and all liabilities and obligations of the Guarantors
      hereunder are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all
      circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor
      agrees that until each and every one of the covenants and agreements of this
      Supplemental Indenture is fully performed, such Guarantor’s undertakings
      hereunder shall not be released, in whole or in part, by any action or thing
      which might, but for this Section 2.5,
      be
      deemed a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor, or by reason
      of
      any waiver or omission of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders, or any
      of
      them, or their failure to proceed promptly or otherwise, or by reason of any
      action taken or omitted by the Company, the Trustee and the Holders, or any
      of
      them, whether or not such action or failure to act varies or increases the
      risk
      of, or affects the rights or remedies of, such Guarantor or by reason of any
      further dealings among the Company, the Trustee and the Holders, or any of
      them,
      or any other guarantor or surety, and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives
      and
      surrenders any defense to its liability hereunder, or any right of counterclaim
      or offset of any nature or description which it may have or which may exist
      based upon, and shall be deemed to have consented to, any of the foregoing
      acts,
      omissions, things, agreements or waivers.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    SECTION
      2.6. Bankruptcy.
      Each
      Guarantor agrees that upon the bankruptcy or winding up or other distribution
      of
      assets of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (other than such
      Guarantor) or of any other Guarantor or surety or guarantor for the Obligations,
      the rights of the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them, against such
      Guarantor shall not be affected or impaired by the omission of the Trustee
      or
      the Holders, or any of them, to prove its or their claim, as appropriate, or
      to
      prove its or their full claim, as appropriate, and the Trustee and the Holders
      may prove such claims as they see fit and may refrain from proving any claim
      and
      in their respective discretion they may value as they see fit or refrain from
      valuing any security held by the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them,
      without in any way releasing, reducing or otherwise affecting the liability
      to
      the Trustee and the Holders of such Guarantor. If acceleration of the time
      for
      payment of any amount payable by the Company under the Indenture or the
      Guaranteed Securities of any series is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy
      or
      reorganization of the Company, all such amounts otherwise subject to
      acceleration under the terms of the Indenture or the Guaranteed Securities
      of
      that series shall nonetheless be payable by each Guarantor hereunder forthwith
      on demand by the Trustee made at the written request of the Holders of not
      less
      than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Guaranteed Securities of that
      series. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any
      Guaranteed Security or any other amount payable by the Company under the
      Indenture is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the
      insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, any other Guarantor
      or
      otherwise, the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder with respect to such payment
      shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such
      time.

     

    SECTION
      2.7. Application
      of Payments.
      The
      Trustee hereby acknowledges and agrees, and each Holder shall be deemed to
      hereby acknowledge and agree, that to the extent any of the Existing Senior
      Obligations (as defined below) is then in default, any funds, payments, claims
      or distributions (the “Guaranty
      Proceeds”)
      actually received hereunder shall be made available for distribution equally
      and
      ratably (based on the principal amounts then outstanding) among (a) the holders
      of the Obligations and (b) the holders of the Existing Senior Obligations.
      For
      purposes hereof, “Existing
      Senior Obligations”
      shall
      mean Debt for borrowed money owed or guaranteed in connection with any unsecured
      and non-subordinated Debt for borrowed money of the Company or the Guarantor
      (aa) issued in offerings registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
      or in placements exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A or Regulation
      S
      thereunder, or (bb) otherwise incurred, which is, in either case, outstanding
      on
      the date hereof or incurred hereafter in accordance with the Indenture
      (including, without limitation, the Debt of the Company incurred in connection
      with the Credit Agreement dated as of February 7, 2003, as amended or
      supplemented from time to time, among the Company, Wells Fargo Bank, National
      Association, as Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement, and the lenders
      named therein, and certain other lenders party thereto from time to time).
      This
      Section 2.7
      shall
      not apply to any payments, funds, claims or distributions received by the
      Trustee or any Holder directly or indirectly from the Company or any other
      Person other than from the Guarantors hereunder. Each Guarantor acknowledges
      and
      agrees with the Trustee and each Holder as follows:

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (a) to
      the
      extent any Guaranty Proceeds are distributed to the holders of the Existing
      Senior Obligations, the Obligations shall not be deemed reduced by any such
      distribution (other than a distribution made in respect of the Guaranteed
      Securities), and the Guarantors will continue to make payments pursuant to
      the
      Guaranty until such time as the Obligations have been paid in full after taking
      into effect any distributions of Guaranty Proceeds to the holders of Existing
      Senior Obligations;

     

    (b) nothing
      contained herein shall be deemed to limit, modify or alter the rights of the
      Trustee and the Holders or be deemed to subordinate the Obligations to the
      Existing Senior Obligations, nor give to any holder of Existing Senior
      Obligations any rights of subrogation;

     

    (c) nothing
      contained herein shall be deemed for the benefit of any holders of Existing
      Senior Obligations nor shall anything be construed to impose on the Trustee
      or
      any Holder any fiduciary duties, obligations or responsibilities to the holders
      of the Existing Senior Obligations; and

     

    (d) the
      Guaranty is for the sole benefit of the Trustee and the Holders and their
      respective successors and assigns, and any amounts received by the Trustee
      and
      the Holders, or any of them, from whatever source and applied toward the payment
      of the Obligations shall be applied in such order of application as is set
      forth
      in the Indenture, if any.

     

    SECTION
      2.8. Waivers
      by Guarantors.
      Each
      Guarantor hereby expressly waives: (a) notice of acceptance of the
      Guaranty, (b)  notice of the existence or creation of all or any of
      the
      Obligations, (c) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, and
      all
      other notices whatsoever, (d) all diligence in collection or protection
      of
      or realization upon the Obligations or any part thereof, any obligation
      hereunder, or any security for any of the foregoing and (e) all rights
      of
      subrogation, indemnification, contribution and reimbursement against the
      Company, all rights to enforce any remedy the Trustee and the Holders, or any
      of
      them, may have against the Company, and any benefit of, or right to participate
      in, any collateral or security now or hereinafter held by the Trustee and the
      Holders, or any of them, in respect of the Obligations, even upon payment in
      full of the Obligations. Any money received by any Guarantor in violation of
      this Section 2.8
      shall be
      held in trust by such Guarantor for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders.
      If a claim is ever made upon the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them, for
      the repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by any of them
      in
      payment of any of the Obligations and the Trustee or the Holders repays all
      or
      part of such amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree, or order of any
      court
      or administrative body having jurisdiction over the Trustee or the Holders
      or
      any of its or their property, or (b) any good faith settlement or compromise
      of
      any such claim effected by the Trustee or the Holders with any such claimant,
      including the Company, then in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such
      judgment, decree, order, settlement, or compromise shall be binding upon such
      Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any
      promissory note or other instrument evidencing any of the Obligations, and
      such
      Guarantor shall be and remain obligated to the Trustee and the Holders hereunder
      for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount
      had
      never originally been received thereby.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    SECTION
      2.9. Remedies
      Cumulative.
      No
      delay by the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them, in the exercise of any
      right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial
      exercise by the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them, of any right or remedy
      shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
      right or remedy. No action by the Trustee and the Holders, or any of them,
      permitted hereunder shall in any way impair or affect the Guaranty. For the
      purpose of the Guaranty, the Obligations shall include, without limitation,
      all
      Obligations of the Company to the Trustee and the Holders, notwithstanding
      any
      right or power of any third party, individually or in the name of the Company
      or
      any other Person, to assert any claim or defense as to the invalidity or
      unenforceability of any such Obligation, and no such claim or defense shall
      impair or affect the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder.

     

    SECTION
      2.10. Miscellaneous.
      The
      Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. In the event of a
      demand upon any Guarantor under the Guaranty, such Guarantor shall be held
      and
      bound to the Trustee and the Holders directly as debtor in respect of the
      payment of the amounts hereby guaranteed. All reasonable costs and expenses,
      including attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Trustee and the Holders,
      or any of them, in obtaining performance of or collecting payments due under
      the
      Guaranty shall be deemed part of the Obligations guaranteed hereby. The
      provisions of the Guaranty are for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders
      and may not be relied upon or enforced by any other Person and, as to
      enforcement, may only be enforced in accordance with this Supplemental Indenture
      and the Indenture.

     

    SECTION
      2.11. Benefit
      to Guarantor.
      Each
      Guarantor expressly represents and acknowledges that the issuance and sale
      of
      the Guaranteed Securities under the Indenture has been, and will be, of direct
      interest, benefit and advantage to such Guarantor.

     

    SECTION
      2.12. Solvency.
      Each
      Guarantor expressly represents and warrants that as of the date hereof and
      after
      giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Indenture (a) the capital
      of such Guarantor will not be unreasonably small to conduct its business;
      (b) such Guarantor will not have incurred debts, or have intended to
      incur
      debts, beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature; and (c) the present
      fair salable value of the assets of such Guarantor is greater than the amount
      that will be required to pay its probable liabilities (including debts) as
      they
      become absolute and matured. For purposes of this Section 2.12,
      “debt”
      means
      any liability on a claim, and “claim”
      means
      (x) the right to payment, whether or not such right is reduced to judgment,
      liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, undisputed,
      legal, equitable, secured or unsecured, or (y) the right to an equitable remedy
      for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a right to payment,
      whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed,
      contingent, matured, unmatured, undisputed, secured or
      unsecured.

     

    SECTION
      2.13. Additional
      Guarantors; Release of Guarantors.
      Any
      Subsidiary of the Company or any other entity may become a party to this
      Guaranty by executing and delivering a Supplemental Indenture providing for
      a
      guaranty of the Obligations under the terms of this Article Two, provided that
      such Supplemental Indenture conforms to the requirements of Article Nine of
      the
      Indenture. Under certain circumstances, a Guarantor may be released by the
      Trustee of its obligations under this Guaranty. Each other Guarantor consents
      and agrees to any such releases and agrees that no such release shall affect
      its
      obligations hereunder, except as to the Guarantor so released.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    SECTION
      2.14. Contribution
      Agreement.
      To the
      extent that any Guarantor shall, under the Guaranty, make a payment (a
“Guarantor
      Payment”)
      of a
      portion of the Obligations, then, without limiting its rights of subrogation
      against the Company, such Guarantor shall be entitled to contribution and
      indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Guarantors and
      the
      Company (each of the foregoing referred to herein individually as a
“Contributing
      Party”
      and
      collectively as the “Contributing
      Parties”)
      in an
      amount, for each such Contributing Party, equal to a fraction of such Guarantor
      Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such Contributing Party’s Allocable
      Amount (as defined below) and the denominator of which is the sum of the
      Allocable Amounts of all of the Contributing Parties.

     

    As
      of any
      date of determination, the “Allocable
      Amount”
      of each
      Contributing Party shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability which
      could
      be asserted against such Contributing Party hereunder with respect to the
      applicable Guarantor Payment without (i) rendering such Contributing Party
      “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101(31) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code
      (the “Bankruptcy
      Code”)
      or
      Section 2 of either the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (the “UFTA”)
      or the
      Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (the “UFCA”),
      (ii)
      leaving such Contributing Party with unreasonably small capital, within the
      meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA or
      Section 5 of the UFCA, or (iii) leaving such Contributing Party unable to pay
      its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy
      Code or Section 4 of the UFTA or Section 6 of the UFCA or in any case, any
      successor to the Bankruptcy Code or any such section thereof or any successor
      to
      the UFTA or the UFCA or any such sections thereof.

     

    This
      Section 2.14
      is
      intended only to define the relative rights of the Contributing Parties, and
      nothing set forth in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the
      obligations of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts, as
      and
      when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of
      the
      Guaranty. 

     

    The
      parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification
      hereunder shall constitute assets in favor of each Guarantor to which such
      contribution and indemnification is owing.

     

    This
      Section 2.14
      shall
      continue in full force and effect and may not be terminated or otherwise revoked
      by any Contributing Party until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have
      been indefeasibly paid in full (in lawful money of the United States of America)
      and discharged and the Indenture and Guaranteed Securities shall have been
      terminated. 

     

    SECTION
      2.15. NO
      NOVATION.
      THE
      PARTIES DO NOT INTEND THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, NOR THE TRANSACTIONS
      CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, TO BE, AND THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE AND THE TRANSACTIONS
      CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO BE, A NOVATION OR WAIVER OF ANY
      OF
      THE OBLIGATIONS OWING BY ANY GUARANTOR OF ANY OBLIGATIONS UNDER OR IN CONNECTION
      WITH ANY GUARANTY IN EXISTENCE AS OF THE DATE OF THIS SUPPLEMENTAL
      INDENTURE.
