     SECTION 7.17 FDIC GUARANTEE PROGRAM PARTICIPATION.
     So long as the Borrower or the Thrift has any Indebtedness outstanding under Section 7.1(f), the Borrower will not, and will not permit the Thrift to, opt out of the FDIC Guarantee Program.”

     Section 3. Limited Waiver. At the request of the Borrower, but subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 below, the Consenting Banks hereby waive any Events of Default arising solely as the result of the Specified Default. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the limited waiver contained in the foregoing sentence shall not be deemed to be or constitute a consent to any future action or inaction on the part of the Borrower, shall not waive or amend (or be deemed to be or constitute a waiver of or amendment to) any other covenant, term or provision in the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and shall not hinder, restrict or otherwise modify the rights and remedies of the Agent or the Banks following the occurrence of any other Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.
