Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Indenture;
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Notice of Consent Solicitation dated September 21, 2016 (the “Notice”), as modified by the Supplement, dated September 26, 2016 (the “Supplement”), the Company has solicited (the “Consent Solicitation”) the Holders to direct the Trustee to execute and deliver a waiver to the Indenture to waive compliance with the Limitation on Sales of Assets and Subsidiary Stock covenant with respect to the percentage of consideration received in the form of cash and Cash Equivalents from a particular Asset Disposition, as more specifically set forth herein (the “Waiver”);
WHEREAS, Sections 902 and 1006 of the Indenture provide that, subject to certain inapplicable exceptions, the Company and the Trustee may waive compliance with any provision of the Indenture and the Notes with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (the “Requisite Consents”);
WHEREAS, in connection with the Consent Solicitation, Holders that delivered, and have not withdrawn, a valid consent to the Waiver on a timely basis (the “Consenting Holders”) are entitled to receive a consent fee (the “Consent Fee”) with respect to the Notes in respect of which they have validly consented if all of the conditions to the Consent Solicitation are met;
WHEREAS, the Holders that have approved this Waiver Agreement (as evidenced by their execution of a Consent Form) constitute Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes now outstanding and are willing to direct the Trustee to execute and deliver this Waiver Agreement;
WHEREAS, consistent with the practice of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), DTC has authorized direct participants in DTC set forth in the
1
position listing of DTC as of September 21, 2016 to approve this Waiver Agreement as if they were Holders of the Notes held of record in the name of DTC or the name of its nominee;
WHEREAS, the Trustee is hereby directed by the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes to execute and deliver this Waiver Agreement in its capacity as Trustee; and
WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of this Waiver Agreement have been duly authorized by the Company and all conditions and requirements necessary to make this instrument a valid and binding agreement have been duly performed and complied with;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises, and for the purpose of memorializing the Waiver to the Indenture consented to by the Holders, each party agrees, for the benefit of the others and for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes, as follows:
