5.11 No Waiver of Rights, Powers and Remedies. No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party.

No notice to or demand on a party not expressly required under this Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.

5.12 No Liability.
5.12.1 Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith, the Company, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no person other than the Subscriber shall have any obligation hereunder or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that it has no rights of recovery against, and no recourse hereunder, under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, shall be had against, any former, current or future director, officer, agent, affiliate, manager, assignee or employee of the Investor (or any of their successors or permitted assignees), against any former, current or future general or limited partner, stockholder, manager or member of the Subscriber (or any of their successors or permitted assignees) or any affiliate thereof or against any former, current or future director, officer, agent, employee, affiliate, general or limited partner, stockholder, manager or member of any of the foregoing (each, other than the Subscriber, an “Affiliate”), whether by the enforcement of any judgment, fine or penalty or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable law, or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on, or otherwise be incurred by any Affiliate, as such, for any obligations of the Subscriber under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith, in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, or for any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.
5.12.2 The Company further agrees that neither it nor any of its affiliates shall have any right of recovery against the Subscriber or any of its Affiliates, whether by piercing of the corporate veil, by a claim on behalf of the Company against the Subscriber or any of its Affiliates, or otherwise, except to the extent provided in this letter agreement and subject to the terms and conditions hereof. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not institute, and shall cause its affiliates not to institute, any proceeding or bring any other claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising under, or in connection with, the Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection therewith, against the Subscriber or any Affiliate other than a claim against the Subscriber relating to the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Subscriber herein.
5.12.3 Nothing in this Agreement or any of the Other Agreements shall create a fiduciary duty of the Subscriber, or any of its Affiliates, to the Company or any of its equityholders. The Subscriber is not acting as a financial advisor, agent or underwriter to the Company. The Subscriber shall to the fullest extent permitted by law have no duty to refrain from (i) engaging in the same or similar activities or lines of business as the Company or (ii) doing business with any client, customer or vendor of the Company. If the Subscriber acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for both the Company and the Subscriber or its Affiliates, then each of the Company (on its behalf and, to the extent possible, on behalf of the stockholders of the Company) to the fullest extent permitted by law renounces any interest or expectancy in such business opportunity and waives any claim that such business opportunity constituted a corporate opportunity that should have been presented to the Company. In the case of any such corporate opportunity, the Subscriber shall to the fullest extent permitted by law not be liable to the Company or its equityholders by reason of the fact that the Subscriber acquires or seeks such corporate opportunity for itself, direct such corporate opportunity to another person or otherwise does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company
9
5.13 Survival of Representations and Warranties and Covenants, Obligations and Agreements. All representations and warranties made by the parties hereto in this Agreement or in any other agreement, certificate or instrument provided for or contemplated hereby, shall survive the Closing. Any covenant, obligation or agreement to be performed under this Agreement by the Company or the Subscriber shall survive if ongoing or until fully performed or satisfied.
5.14 Headings and Captions. The headings and captions of the various subdivisions of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify or affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms or provisions hereof.
5.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in pdf format shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
5.16 Construction. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. References to any section, schedule or annex herein shall mean the sections, schedules and annexes of this Agreement.
5.17 Mutual Drafting. This Agreement is the joint product of the Subscriber and the Company and each provision hereof has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of such parties and shall not be construed for or against any party hereto.
10
5.18 No Effect on Lender Relationship. Each of the Company (on its behalf and, to the extent possible, on behalf of the stockholders of the Company) and the Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing contained in this Agreement shall affect, limit or impair the rights and remedies of the Subscriber (a) in its capacity as a lender or as agent for lenders to the Company or any of its affiliates pursuant to any agreement under which the Company or any of its affiliates has borrowed money, or (b) in its capacity as a lender or as agent for lenders to any other person who has borrowed money. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any such person, in exercising its rights as a lender, including making its decision on whether to foreclose on any collateral security, will have no duty to consider (x) its or any of its Affiliates’ status as a holder of the Common Stock, (y) the interests of the Company or its affiliates or (z) any duty it may have to any holder of the Company’s equity securities (including any other holder of Common Stock), except as may be required under the applicable loan documents or by commercial law applicable to creditors generally. No consent, approval, vote or other action taken or required to be taken by the holder of Common Stock in such capacity shall in any way impact, affect or alter the rights and remedies of the Subscriber or any of its Affiliates as a lender or agent for lenders.
5.19 Non-Promotion. The Company agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Subscriber, in each instance, (a) use in advertising or publicity any name of any Subscriber, or any partner or employee of the Subscriber, nor any trade name, trademark, trade device, service xxxx, symbol or any abbreviation, contraction or simulation thereof owned by such Subscriber, or (b) represent, directly or indirectly, that any product or any service provided by the Company has been approved or endorsed by the Subscriber.
5.20 Use of Logo. The Company grants the Subscriber permission to use any name or logo of the Company or its affiliates in any marketing materials of the Subscriber. The Subscriber shall include a trademark attribution notice giving notice of the Company ownership of its trademarks in the marketing materials in which the Company name and logo appear.
5.21 Lock-up Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Warrant, none of the provisions of this Agreement or the Warrant shall in any way limit the Subscriber from engaging in any brokerage, investment advisory, financial advisory, anti-raid advisory, principaling, merger advisory, financing, asset management, trading, market making, arbitrage, investment activity and other similar activities conducted in the ordinary course of its business.
5.22 Board Observation Rights. During any time that, and only for so long as, the Subscriber or any of its affiliates holds any debt of the Company or any of its affiliates in an aggregate principal amount of at least $50 million, the Subscriber shall have the right to appoint one nonvoting board observer (the “Observer”) with respect to the board of directors of Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company whose board of directors makes managerial decisions for the Company and the Guarantors under the notes to be issued under the Second Lien Note Purchase Agreement (the “Board”), or to any committee thereof, such right to include the right to receive all information and materials provided to the members of the Board, in their capacity as such, or to any committee thereof, and to attend all regularly scheduled meetings of the Board, or of any committee thereof; provided that the Observer may be denied access to such meetings and/or materials and information if and to the extent (i) reasonably necessary to preserve any Board attorney- or accountant-client privilege or (ii) the agenda for such meeting or such information or materials provided to the Board would result in a breach of confidentiality or would present a conflict of interest, including, without limitation, any such meeting or information or materials that relate to the notes to be issued pursuant to the First Lien Notes Purchase Agreement, of even date herewith, or the notes to be issued pursuant to the Second Lien Note Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Observer shall receive notice promptly in advance of any meeting of a Board, or any committee thereof, that the Observer is wholly or partially excluded from, and (ii) any written materials and other information, including portions of the minutes of a meeting of a Board, or any committee thereof, that are withheld from the Observer, shall specifically and solely relate to the information that the Observer is excluded from and not any other information.

6. Indemnification and Limitation of Liability. The Company shall indemnify the Subscriber with respect to rights and obligations under this Agreement under the same terms, mutatis mutandis, as the Company indemnifies Purchasers pursuant to Section 10.3 of the Second Lien Note Purchase Agreement, and the liability of the Subscriber shall be limited pursuant to the terms of Section 10.3(e) thereof.
