Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Securities notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal or interest or premium, if any) if it in good faith determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

all of the Securities, waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium or interest, if any, on the Securities or in respect or a covenant or provision of the Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security.

No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
