2. Waiver.

(a) Pursuant to the request by Borrower, but subject to satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 3 hereof, Lender hereby waives any Event of Default that has or would otherwise arise under Section 15 of the Agreement solely by reason of Borrower and its affiliates failing to comply with the Leverage Ratio covenant in Section 30(b) of the Agreement for the Fiscal Quarter ending June 30, 2014.

(b) The waiver in this Section 2 shall be effective only in this specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth herein and does not allow for any other or further departure from the terms and conditions of the Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document executed or delivered by Borrower or its affiliates to Lender, which terms and conditions shall continue in full force and effect.
