warrants that it will keep the Negative Pledge Property free from all mortgages,
liens, charges and encumbrances whatsoever, except for Permitted Liens (as
defined in the Loan Agreement).

respect to the Negative Pledge Property (other than a Permitted Lien). If the
Company breaches this covenant, it shall constitute an event of default
hereunder, and an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement.
3. Remedies.

4. Waivers
by Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
No
course of dealing by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or delay in
exercising any of their remedies hereunder or under the Loan Agreement or any
other Loan Document following an event of default hereunder, shall affect the
Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s rights later to take such action with
respect thereto, and no waiver as to any one default or event of default shall
affect the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s rights as to any other default
or event of default. No waiver by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall

Pledge shall terminate, and the Administrative Agent shall, upon request and
at
the Company’s expense, execute all such documentation necessary to terminate any
financing statement filed in connection with this negative pledge and to release
any recording of this Negative Pledge in any real estate records.
