WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 6 of the Letter Agreement, the Company terminated the Letter Agreement by written notice to Macquarie on February 18, 2014 (the “Termination Notice”) which was effective as of the date thereof, provided, however, that Section 6 of the Letter Agreement provides for the survival and continuing effectiveness of certain provisions, including, without limitation, various covenants and fee payment obligations following the Termination Notice (collectively, the “Surviving Provisions”); and

 

WHEREAS, notwithstanding the express terms of the Letter Agreement, the Company and Macquarie have determined that it is in their mutual best interest to terminate, as of the date hereof, the Surviving Provisions, other than the first paragraph of the Letter Agreement, Sections 7 and 8 of the Letter Agreement, and Attachment A to the Letter Agreement (collectively, the “Excluded Provisions”), which Excluded Provisions shall survive in accordance with the terms of the Letter Agreement. For purposes hereof, the Surviving Provisions, other than the Excluded Provisions, are referred to herein as the “Terminated Surviving Provisions”.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged as adequate in all respects, the parties hereto agree as follows:
