5
and provided further that no such forbearance shall constitute a waiver with respect to any such Specified Existing Defaults, Anticipated Defaults or any other Events of Default under the Indenture.
(b) As used herein, the term Forbearance Period shall mean the period beginning on the date hereof and ending upon the occurrence of a Termination Event. As used herein, Termination Event shall mean the earlier to occur of
(i) September 17, 2007; and (ii) two business days after the delivery by the Noteholder Group to the Company and Lender of a written notice terminating the Forbearance Period (the Termination Notice), which notice may be delivered at any time upon or after the occurrence of any Forbearance Default (as defined below); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) this First Amended Forbearance Agreement shall immediately terminate two (2) business days after the occurrence of a Forbearance Default under subsection (D) below without the need for delivery of the Termination Notice or any other notice, and (y) this First Amended Forbearance Agreement shall immediately terminate upon the occurrence of a Forbearance Default under subsection (J) below, without the need for delivery of the Termination Notice or any other notice. As used herein, the term Forbearance Default shall mean: (A) the failure of the Company to provide the Noteholder Group and its financial advisors with reasonable access, as determined by the Noteholder Group in its reasonable discretion, to its Chief Executive Officer, other senior executives and outside advisors, including representatives of Kroll Zolfo Cooper that are working with the Company, and to provide the Noteholder Group and its legal and financial advisors with any and all due diligence information they may
6
reasonably request, including, without limitation, the Companys current 13-week cash flow schedule, and all updates thereto as soon as reasonably practicable after they are prepared, but in no event no later than two (2) business days thereafter; (B) the failure of the Company to engage in good faith negotiations with the Noteholder Group regarding a potential restructuring transaction, which determination shall be made by the Noteholder Group in its reasonable discretion; (C) the failure of the Company to promptly notify the Noteholder Group of the occurrence of a Forbearance Default (as defined in the DDJ Amended Forbearance Agreement) under the DDJ Amended Forbearance Agreement or any amendment or modification to the DDJ Amended Forbearance Agreement; (D) termination of the DDJ Amended Forbearance Agreement; (E) the execution of any amendment or modification to the DDJ Amended Forbearance Agreement, which amendment or modification has a material adverse effect on the Noteholder Group as determined by the Noteholder Group in its reasonable discretion; (F) termination by the Company of the Chanin Engagement Letter or the failure of the Company to pay Chanins fees, expenses and indemnity in accordance with the terms of the Chanin Engagement Letter; (G) the occurrence of any Event of Default that is neither (x) a Specified Existing Default, nor (y) an Anticipated Default; (H) the failure of the Company to comply with any term, condition, covenant or agreement set forth in this First Amended Forbearance Agreement; (I) the failure of any representation or warranty made by the Company under this First Amended Forbearance Agreement to be true and correct in all material respects as of the date when made; (J) the commencement by or against the Company or any of the Subsidiaries of a case under title 11 of the United
7
States Code; or (K) the commencement of any action or proceeding by any creditor of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries seeking to attach or take similar action against the assets of the Company or the Subsidiaries. Any Forbearance Default shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Indenture.
(c) Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the agreement of the Noteholders hereunder to forbear, and to direct the Indenture Trustee to forbear, from exercising rights and remedies in respect of (i) the Specified Existing Defaults and (ii) any Anticipated Defaults, shall immediately terminate without the requirement of any demand, presentment, protest, or notice of any kind (other than, where required, the Termination Notice), all of which the Company and the Subsidiaries hereby waive. The Company and the Subsidiaries agree that, upon the occurrence of, and at any time after, the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, may proceed, subject to the terms of the Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agreements and/or applicable law, to exercise any or all rights and remedies under the Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agreements and/or applicable law, including, without limitation, the rights and remedies on account of the Specified Existing Defaults, the Anticipated Defaults and any other Events of Default that may then exist. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agreements and any related documents, the Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, may, upon such notice or demand as is specified by the Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agreements or
8
applicable law (x) collect and/or commence any legal or other action to collect any or all of the Companys or the Subsidiaries obligations under the Indenture or the Guarantees (collectively, the Obligations); (y) foreclose or otherwise realize on any or all of the Collateral, and/or appropriate, setoff or apply to the payment of any or all of the Obligations, any or all of the Collateral or proceeds thereof; and (z) take any other enforcement action or otherwise exercise any or all rights and remedies provided for under the Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agreements and/or applicable law, all of which rights and remedies are fully reserved.
(d) Any agreement by the Noteholders to further extend the Forbearance Period or to enter into any other forbearance or similar arrangement must be set forth in writing and signed by all of the Noteholders. The Company and the Subsidiaries acknowledge that the Noteholders have made no assurances whatsoever concerning any possibility of any extension of the Forbearance Period, any other forbearance or similar arrangement or any other limitations on the exercise of their rights, remedies and privileges under or otherwise in connection with the Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agreements and/or applicable law.
(e) The Company and the Subsidiaries acknowledge and agree that any forbearance, waiver or consent which the Noteholders may make on or after the date hereof has been made by the Noteholders in reliance upon, and in consideration for, among other things, the general releases contained in Section 4 hereof and the other covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of the Company and the Subsidiaries hereunder.
