in reliance upon the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants of the Loan Parties set forth herein, the Agent and each Lender agree that during the Forbearance Period they will not, solely by reason of any Specified Potential Events of Default being or becoming Events of Default, exercise any remedy they have not already exercised that is available to them under the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or applicable Law.  “Forbearance Period” means the period commencing on the date hereof through and including 6:00 p.m. EST on June 27, 2014 or such later date as the Agent and the Lenders may agree, in their sole discretion, with the Borrowers.  Neither this Agreement nor Agent’s or Lenders’ forbearance hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, now existing or hereafter arising. Each Loan Party agrees and acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any Lender has agreed, or is agreeing herein, to forbear from exercising their rights and remedies under the Loan Documents or applicable Law with respect to any Event of Default other than with respect to the Potential Specified Events of Default, whether presently existing or occurring hereafter (all of which rights and remedies are hereby reserved by the Agent and the Lenders).
