7. Effect of Amendment. Except as expressly set forth herein and in the Partial Collateral Release, all terms of the Existing Securities Purchase Agreement, as amended hereby, each other Financing Document and any document entered into in connection therewith, shall be and remain in full force and effect. Except as expressly set forth herein and in the Partial Collateral Release, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Noteholders under the Existing Securities Purchase Agreement, any other Financing Document or any other documents entered into in connection therewith, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Existing Securities Purchase Agreement, any other Financing Document or any other documents entered into in connection therewith.

The Company agrees that the Collateral Trustee’s Liens shall continue to attach to a portion of the Net Cash Proceeds from the sale of the Purchased Assets equal to the Pay-Down Amount until payment to the Noteholders (other than Gores) of such Pay-Down Amount (and with respect to any remaining portion of such Net Cash Proceeds that is required to be deposited into escrow pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company acknowledges that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Trustee’s Liens shall reattach to all or any portion of such proceeds that are subsequently returned to the Company, in accordance with the terms of the Security Documents).

10. Consent to Sixth Bank Amendment. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2 hereof, the Noteholders hereby consent to the execution and delivery of the Sixth Bank Amendment in the form attached as Annex 1, and agree that Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC and the Banks can rely on this consent as intended third party beneficiaries without the need to independently verify whether any of the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Amendment have been satisfied and this sentence may not be amended, modified or supplemented without the prior written consent of Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC and the Banks.

11. Release.

(b) Each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors understands, acknowledges and agrees that the release set forth above may be pleaded as a full and complete defense and may be used as a basis for an injunction against any action, suit or other proceeding which may be instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of the provisions of such release.

Any provision of this Amendment that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

16. Fees and Expenses. Whether or not the Securities Purchase Agreement Amendments become effective, the Company will, in accordance with Section 14.1 of the Existing Securities Purchase Agreement, promptly (and in any event within 30 days of receiving any statement or invoice therefor) pay all reasonable fees, expenses and costs of the Noteholders relating to this Amendment, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Noteholders’ special counsel, Bingham McCutchen LLP, and financial advisor, Conway, Del Genio, Gries & Co., LLC.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in pdf form shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

18. Binding Nature. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

19. Entire Understanding. This Amendment and the other Financing Documents set forth the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein and therein, and shall supersede any prior negotiations or agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto.
