WHEREAS, the Operating Partnership has requested that the Forbearing Holders executing this Agreement (constituting the Threshold Holders) agree to forbear in the exercise of their Rights and Remedies solely to the extent arising from the occurrence and continuation of the Specified Default, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

SECTION I.  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

 

1.01    Acknowledgments. The Operating Partnership hereby acknowledges and agrees, upon execution and delivery of this Agreement, subject to the terms set forth herein, that:

(c)    Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, the Forbearing Holders have not waived, released or compromised, do not hereby waive, release or compromise, and may never waive, release or compromise any events, occurrences, acts, or omissions that may constitute or give rise to any defaults or Events of Default (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Specified Default) that existed or may have existed, or may presently exist, or may arise in the future, nor does any Holders waive any Rights and Remedies. The Operating Partnership acknowledges that the Threshold Holders have made no representations as to what actions, if any, they will take after the Forbearance Period, and each Forbearing Holder hereby specifically reserves any and all rights, remedies, and claims it has (after giving effect to this Agreement) with respect to the Specified Default and any other default and/or Events of Default that may occur;

(d)    The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not, except as otherwise specifically set forth herein: (i) constitute an extension, modification, or waiver of any aspect of the Indenture; (ii) extend the maturity of the 2024 Securities or the due date of any payment or performance of any 2024 Securities or other obligations under the Indenture or payable in connection with the Indenture; (iii) give rise to any obligation on the part of the Holders to extend, modify or waive any term or condition of the Indenture; (iv) establish any course of dealing with respect to the Indenture; or (v) give rise to any defenses or counterclaims to the right of the Holders to compel payment of the 2024 Securities as provided for in the Indenture or otherwise enforce their rights and remedies set forth in the Indenture after the Termination Date (as defined below);

 

(e)    The running of all statutes of limitation and the doctrine of laches applicable to all claims or causes of action that the Trustee and/or any Holder may be entitled to take or bring in order to enforce its rights and remedies against the Operating Partnership are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, tolled and suspended during the Forbearance Period; and

 

(f)    The Forbearing Holders’ agreement to forbear from the exercise of their Rights and Remedies solely as to the Specified Default, and to perform as provided herein, shall not, except as expressly provided herein, invalidate, impair, negate or otherwise affect the Trustee’s or Holders’ ability to exercise their Rights and Remedies under the Indenture or otherwise.
