(F) delivery of written notice by the Special Committee to any Creditor Party(ies) stating that considering the advice of counsel, its applicable fiduciary duties are inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement and its fiduciary duties require it to terminate this agreement.

The date of termination of this Agreement as to all Parties (even if obligations of the Parties survive such termination) is the “Agreement Termination Date”.

(b) This Agreement will further automatically terminate as to any Creditor Party upon the earlier of:

(A) the Transfer of all of such Creditor Party’s Existing Debt pursuant to and in accordance with Section 7 hereof; and

No delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof; nor will any waiver on the part of any party to this Agreement of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement operate as a waiver of any other right, power or privilege under this Agreement, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege under this Agreement.

It is accordingly agreed that the Parties will be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of appropriate jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

(g) Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

(h) Assignment. This Agreement will not be assigned by any Party by operation of law or otherwise except as provided in Section 7 and, in the case of any member of the Holding Companies, without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

(i) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Unless expressly stated herein, this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of the Parties and no other person or entity shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

(j) Prior Agreements. With the exception of non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements among the Parties, this Agreement supersedes all prior negotiations and agreements among the Parties with respect to the matters set forth herein.

(k) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (which may include counterparts delivered by any standard form of telecommunication), and by the different Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed will be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same agreement. Facsimile copies or “PDF” or electronic signatures or similar electronic data format copies of signatures shall constitute original signatures for all purposes of this Agreement and any enforcement hereof.

(l) Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any and all remedies in this Agreement expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

(m) No Admissions and Reservation of Rights. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission of any kind. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and all negotiations relating thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding, other than a proceeding to enforce the terms of this Agreement. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict any rights, remedies and interests of the Parties. Without limiting the foregoing sentence in any way, if the Transactions are not consummated, or if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, each of the Parties fully reserves any and all of its rights, remedies, and interests.

(n) Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

(o) Obligations Several. Notwithstanding that this Agreement is being executed by multiple Creditor Parties, the obligations of the Creditor Parties under this Agreement are several and not joint. No Creditor Party shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Creditor Party under this Agreement, and nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Creditor Party pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Creditor Parties as a partnership, an association or joint venture of any kind, or create a presumption that the Creditor Parties are in any way acting other than in their individual capacities. None of the Creditor Parties shall have any fiduciary duty or other duties or responsibilities in any kind or form to each other, any member of the Company Group or any other lenders of the Company Group, noteholders or stakeholders as a result of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Holding Company acknowledges that no other Company Group member will be acting as agent of such Holding Company in connection with monitoring such Holding Company’s investment or enforcing its rights under this Agreement or the other transaction documents to be entered into in connection with the consummation of the Transactions.

(p) Acknowledgement. This Agreement is not and shall not be deemed to be a solicitation for the Exchange Offers.

(q) Interpretation. This Agreement is the product of negotiations among the Parties, and in the enforcement or interpretation hereof, is to be interpreted in a neutral manner, and any presumption with regard to interpretation for or against any Party by reason of that Party having drafted or caused to be drafted this Agreement, or any portion hereof, shall not be effective in regard to the interpretation hereof.

(r) Effectiveness. This Agreement shall automatically become effective and binding two (2) business days after counterpart signature pages to this Agreement have been executed and delivered by each of the Holding Companies and Creditor Parties holding, in aggregate, at least 55.00% of the outstanding principal amount of the Exit Term Loans, at least 55.00% of the outstanding principal amount of the Existing Notes and at least 85.00% of the outstanding principal amount of the Intabex Term Loans.
