This Agreement is being executed in connection with a debt and equity restructuring of the Borrower (the “Restructuring”). In connection with the Restructuring, among other things, (i) Gores is purchasing equity interests in the Borrower (i.e., in addition to the equity interests previously owned by Gores in the Borrower); (ii) the Borrower has received commitments from certain lenders to provide to the Borrower a new revolving line of credit and term loan; (iii) Gores or Affiliates of Gores have purchased certain of the Existing NPA Notes from the holders of such Existing NPA Notes listed on Schedule D hereto (“Sellers of Existing NPA Notes to Gores or Gores Affiliates”) and certain of the indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement from the lenders listed on Schedule E hereto (“Sellers of Existing Credit Agreement Indebtedness to Gores or Gores Affiliates” and, together with Sellers of Existing NPA Notes to Gores or Gores Affiliates, the “Released Sellers of Debt”) party to the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Existing Credit Agreement Indebtedness”) that did not convert their respective Existing NPA Notes and Existing Credit Agreement Indebtedness to new notes, cash and Preferred Stock on the terms and conditions of the Restructuring; (iv) the Existing NPA Notes and Existing Credit Agreement Indebtedness representing an aggregate of $117,500,000 of indebtedness under the Existing NPA Notes and Existing Credit Agreement Indebtedness (the “Continuing Debt”) are being amended and restated by, and combined into, $117,500,000 aggregate principal amount of 15.00% Senior Secured Notes due July 15, 2012 (the “New Notes”), and (v) all interest (including, without limitation, interest accrued on the Continuing Debt prior to the issuance of the New Notes), principal, fees and other obligations under or in respect of indebtedness under the Existing NPA Notes and Existing Credit Agreement Indebtedness other than the Continuing Debt is being satisfied in full by a payment of cash and the issuance of Convertible Preferred Stock, all as set forth in definitive agreements and instruments executed by the Parties contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement.
It is a condition of the Restructuring that each of the Parties execute this Agreement.

(b) For good and valuable consideration (including, without limitation, the benefits provided to each of the Parties by the Restructuring and the Restructuring Documents), as of the Restructuring Effective Date, subject to the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof, each of the Borrower, Guarantor and Gores Parties hereby forever indefeasibly releases and discharges each of the Lender and Agent Parties and all of the Released Sellers of Debt and all of their respective present and former officers, directors, equityholders, managers, members, affiliates, agents, advisors, counsel, financial advisors, representatives and principals (collectively, the “Lender and Agent Released Parties”) from, and waives and relinquishes, any and all Claims in favor of one or more of the Borrower, Guarantor and Gores Parties against the Lender and Agent Released Parties under the Existing Credit Agreement and the Existing NPA and the documents and agreements executed in connection therewith or as a result of the administration thereof or as a result of any action taken or not taken in connection with the enforcement or workout thereof prior to the date hereof (collectively, the “Borrower, Guarantor and Gores Released Claims”).

 

-3-


 

     
(c) Each of the Borrower, Guarantor and Gores Parties and Lender and Agent Parties (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”) knowingly grant the releases set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 2.1 notwithstanding that any such Releasing Party may hereafter discover facts in addition to, or different from, those which such Releasing Party now knows or believes to be true, and without regard to the subsequent discovery or existence of such different or additional facts, and each Releasing Party expressly waives any and all rights that such Releasing Party may have under any statute or common law principle which would limit the effect of the foregoing release to those released Claims actually known or suspected to exist as of or prior to the date hereof.
  2.2  
For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any other provision hereof, (a) it is understood that the Restructuring Documents do not evidence a new debt of the Borrower or a novation of the Existing Credit Agreement Indebtedness or the indebtedness evidenced by the Existing NPA Notes, but rather the amount of the Continuing Debt evidenced by the New Notes will continue in full force and effect on the terms and conditions set forth in the Restructuring Documents, and (b) neither Section 2.1(a) nor any other provisions of this Agreement is intended to, or does, constitute or effect a release of the Continuing Debt or the obligations of the Borrower, Guarantor or Gores Parties under the Restructuring Documents.
3.  
Entire Agreement; Modification; Waiver. This Agreement, together with the Restructuring Documents, constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, warranties, and understandings of the Parties, whether oral, written or implied, as to the subject matter hereof. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the Parties affected thereby. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or constitute a waiver of any other provision, whether or not similar, nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver.
4.  
Section 1542 Waiver. To the extent that the foregoing releases are releases to which Section 1542 of the California Civil Code or similar provisions of other applicable law applies, it is the intention of the Parties that the foregoing releases shall be effective as a bar to any and all Claims of whatsoever character, nature and kind, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected specified herein. In furtherance of this intention, the Parties expressly waive any and all rights and benefits conferred upon them by the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code or similar provisions of applicable law, which are as follows:
 
   
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

 

-4-


 

   
The Parties acknowledge that the foregoing waiver of the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code was bargained for separately. Thus, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1542, and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the Parties, and each of them, each Party expressly acknowledges that this Agreement is intended to include in its effect without limitation all of the claims, causes of action and liabilities which the Parties, and each of them do not know or suspect to exist in their favor at the time of execution of this Agreement, and this Agreement contemplates extinguishment of all such claims, causes of action and liabilities.
5.  
Further Documents. Each Party agrees, at Borrower’s cost and expense, to execute such additional documents, instruments, and agreements, and to do and perform at Borrower’s cost and expense, such acts and things necessary or proper or reasonably requested, to effectuate or further evidence the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
6.

Each Party represents and warrants to the other Parties that: (i) it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement, and this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company, or other applicable action of such Party; (ii) the actions taken by such Party under this Agreement do not: (A) conflict with any agreement binding upon such Party or its properties or (B) violate or conflict with any order or decree binding upon such Party or its properties; (iii) such Party has obtained all consents and approvals necessary for it to enter into this Agreement; (iv) this Agreement is enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms (except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability); and (v) such Party has not assigned, transferred, or encumbered any Claim that would otherwise, but for such assignment, transfer, or encumbrance, be released pursuant to this Agreement.
