A Holder may deliver consents solely to the Proposed Amendments as an entirety.
The Company’s obligation to accept consents and pay the applicable consent payment is conditioned on, among other things, there being validly delivered (and not validly revoked), with respect to the Proposed Amendments, consents from the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes to such amendments.
