NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants herein set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, and to induce the First Lien Holders to enter into this Agreement, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. LIMITED WAIVER.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in reliance on the representations and warranties of the Note Parties herein contained, the First Lien Holders hereby waive until August 1, 2011 (such date, the “Waiver Expiration Date”) and solely with respect to the obligation to pay the principal of, and premium and interest on the First Lien Notes on the Maturity Date, Sections 5.2, 6.1(a), 6.1(b), and 6.1(g)(5) of the First Lien Purchase Agreement and the related provisions of the First Lien Notes.
(b) The waivers set forth in Section 1(a) hereof shall be limited precisely as written and relate solely to the noncompliance by the Note Parties with the provisions of Sections 5.2, 6.1(a), 6.1(b), and 6.1(g)(5) of the First Lien Purchase Agreement and the First Lien Notes in the manner and to the extent described above, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to:
(i) constitute a waiver of compliance by the Note Parties with respect to (a) Sections 5.2, 6.1(a), 6.1(b), and 6.1(g)(5) of the First Lien Purchase Agreement in any other instance or (b) any other term, provision or condition of the First Lien Purchase Agreement or any instrument or agreement referred to therein;
(ii) constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or potential Event of Default in any other instance;
(iii) be a consent to any future agreement or waiver; or
2
(iv) prejudice any right or remedy that any First Lien Holder may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with the First Lien Purchase Agreement or any instrument or agreement referred to therein.
Except as expressly set forth herein, the terms, provisions and conditions of the First Lien Purchase Agreement and the other Note Documents shall remain in full force and effect and in all other respects are hereby ratified and confirmed. Subject to Section 1(a) above, the First Lien Holders reserve the right, to the extent provided in the First Lien Purchase Agreement, to exercise any or all of their rights and remedies under the First Lien Purchase Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and other Note Documents as a result of any Defaults or Events of Default which may be continuing on the date hereof or any Defaults or Events of Default which may occur after the date hereof, and the First Lien Holders have not waived any of such rights or remedies, and nothing in this Agreement, and no failure, delay or course of dealing on any of their part in exercising any such rights or remedies, shall be construed as a waiver of any such rights or remedies. No single or partial exercise of any right of the First Lien Holders shall preclude any later exercise of such right, and failure by the First Lien Holders to require strict performance of any provision of the Note Documents shall not affect any right of the First Lien Holders to demand strict compliance and performance thereunder.
Each Note Party acknowledges and agrees that, on the Waiver Expiration Date, the agreement of the First Lien Holders to waive Sections 5.2, 6.1(a), 6.1(b), and 6.1(g)(5) of the First Lien Purchase Agreement in the manner and to the extent described above shall cease and be of no further force or effect, and First Lien Holders and/or the Collateral Agent will be entitled to immediately exercise all of their rights under the First Lien Purchase Agreement, the other Note Documents and applicable law, all without further notice or demand.
2. RATIFICATION AND REAFFIRMATION OF OBLIGATIONS AND LIENS.
(a) Each Note Party hereby ratifies and reaffirms the validity and enforceability of all of the obligations under each Note Document and of each Note Document and agrees that its obligations under each such Note Document and this Agreement are its legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable against it in accordance with the respective terms thereof and that it has no defense (whether legal or equitable), set-off or counterclaim to the payment or performance of such obligations in accordance with the terms of the Note Documents. Each Note Party agrees and acknowledges that all agreements, representations and warranties made under the Note Documents to which it is a party survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the occurrence of the Maturity Date.
(b) Each Note Party party to any of the Collateral Documents hereby ratifies and reaffirms all of the liens and security interests heretofore granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents, as collateral security for the indebtedness incurred pursuant to the First Lien Notes and the First Lien Purchase Agreement, and acknowledges that all of such liens and security interests, and all collateral heretofore pledged as security for such indebtedness, continues to be and remains collateral for such indebtedness from and after the date hereof.

8. RELEASE.
(a) Except with respect to the matters, rights and obligations specified in Section 10(b) below, each Note Party, and to the extent permitted under applicable law, each Note Party’s respective directors, officers, agents, servants, representatives, attorneys, administrators, executors, heirs, assigns, predecessors and successors in interest, and each of them (collectively, the “Releasors”) hereby releases and forever discharges each Holder and each of their respective parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, past or present, and each of them, as well as each of their respective directors, officers, agents, servants, employees, shareholders, representatives, attorneys, administrators, executors, heirs, assigns, predecessors and successors in interest, and all other persons, firms or corporations with whom any of the former have been, are now, or may hereafter be affiliated, and each of them (collectively, the “Releasees”), from and against any and all claims, demands, liens, agreements, contracts, covenants, actions, suits, causes of action in law or equity, obligations, controversies, debts, costs, expenses, damages, judgments, orders and liabilities of whatever kind or nature in law, equity or otherwise, whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent, suspected or unsuspected by the Releasors, and whether concealed or hidden (collectively, “Claims”), which Releasors now own or hold or have at any time heretofore owned or held, which are based upon or arise out of or in connection with any matter, cause or thing existing at any time prior to the date hereof or anything done, omitted or suffered to be done or omitted at any time prior to the date hereof in connection with the Note Documents (collectively the “Released Matters”).
(b) It is expressly understood and agreed that it is the intent of Releasors to forever release claims against Releasees arising out of the Released Matters, but that nothing herein shall affect the obligations of the Releasees arising subsequent to the date hereof, including, but not by way of limitation, compliance subsequent to the date hereof with all terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Note Documents.
(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Note Party for itself and on behalf of the other Releasors expressly releases any and all past, present and future claims in connection with the Released Matters, about which the Releasors do not know or suspect to exist in their favor, whether through ignorance, oversight, error, negligence or otherwise, and which, if known, would materially affect any Releasor’s decision to enter into this release. To this end, to the extent the release under this Section 10 is a release as to which Section 1542 of the California Civil Code or any similar provision of other applicable law applies, each Note Party for itself, and on behalf of each of the other Releasors, waives all rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code or such similar provision of other applicable law, and acknowledges that Section 1542 of the California Civil Code provides as follows:
“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
7
The waiver above of rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code is included solely out of an abundance of caution, and shall not be construed to mean that Section 1542 of the California Civil Code is in any way applicable to the release hereunder.
(d) Each Note Party and each other Releasor knowingly and willingly waives the provisions of any law referenced in paragraph (c) above and acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is an essential and material term of this release. Each Note Party and each other Releasor has reviewed this release with its legal counsel, and understands and acknowledges the significance and consequence of this release and of the specific waiver thereof contained herein.
(e) Each Releasor executing this Agreement represents, warrants and agrees that in executing and entering into this release, it is not relying and has not relied upon any representation, promise or statement made by anyone which is not recited, contained or embodied in this Agreement or the Note Documents. Each Releasor understands and expressly assumes the risk that any fact not recited, contained or embodied therein may turn out hereafter to be other than, different from, or contrary to the facts now known to such Releasor or believed by such Releasor to be true. Nevertheless, each Releasor intends by this release to release fully, finally and forever all Released Matters and agrees that this release shall be effective in all respects notwithstanding any such difference in facts, and shall not be subject to termination, modification or rescission by reason of any such difference in facts.
9. COUNTERPARTS; EFFECTIVENESS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective upon (a) the execution of a counterpart hereof or thereof by the Note Parties and each of the First Lien Holders and (b) satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement.
10. NO THIRD PARTIES BENEFITED. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole benefit of the Note Parties and their affiliates, the First Lien Holders, and their permitted successors and assigns, and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement.
11. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
12. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH NOTE PARTY AND EACH OF THE HOLDERS HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT. The scope of this waiver is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes
8
that may be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of this transaction, including contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and all other common law and statutory claims. The Note Parties and the First Lien Holders each acknowledge that this waiver is a material inducement for the Note Parties and the First Lien Holders to enter into a business relationship that the Note Parties and the First Lien Holders have already relied on the waiver in entering into this Agreement and that each will continue to rely on the waiver in their related future dealings. The Note Parties and the First Lien Holders further warrant and represent that each has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, and that each knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 14 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.
13. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF PROCESS.
ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY NOTE PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN XXX XXXXX, XXXXXX XXX XXXX XX XXX XXXX. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH NOTE PARTY FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY
(I) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS;
(II) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS;
(III) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE NOTE PARTY, AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 10.1 OF THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT;
(IV) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (III) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH NOTE PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT;
(V) AGREES THAT HOLDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST SUCH NOTE PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION; AND
(VI) AGREES THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 15 RELATING TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE SHALL BE BINDING AND ENFORCEABLE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTION 5-1402 OR OTHERWISE.
9
14. SEVERABILITY. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired or affected, it being intended that all of the First Lien Holders’ rights and privileges shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
15. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND CONSENT BY GUARANTORS. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that it has read this Agreement and consents to the terms thereof, and hereby confirms and agrees that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Agreement, the obligations of each Guarantor under the Guaranty shall not be impaired or affected and the Guaranty is, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and is hereby confirmed and ratified in all respects. Each Guarantor further agrees that nothing in the Note Documents or this Agreement shall be deemed to require the consent of such Guarantor to any future amendment to the Note Documents.
