The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.
