Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Waiver and Consent shall not be construed as a waiver or cure of any Specified Event; and all consequences of the Specified Events (other than those expressly and temporarily waived pursuant to this Section 1.1) shall survive this Waiver and Consent; and all consequences of the Specified Events waived pursuant to this Section 1.1 shall be automatically reinstated with full force and effect immediately following the Waiver Period.
