(ii)
Optional Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default set forth in Section 10(A)(xix) or Section 10(A)(xx)) occurs and has not been waived by the Holder, then the Holder, by notice to the Company and Park Lane (each such notice, an “Event of Default Redemption Notice”), may declare this Note (or any portion thereof) to become due and payable on the Business Day immediately following the date of such notice for cash in an amount equal to the Event of Default Acceleration Amount.
(iii)
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, solely to the extent that any Event of Default shall have occurred that has not been waived and the Holder has not received the payment in full of the Event of Default Acceleration Amount pursuant to an Event of Default Redemption Notice nor has Park Lane purchased this Note in whole
30
pursuant to the terms of Section 10(B)(iv), the Holder may direct the Collateral Agent to () (x) if, on or after the third Business Day after delivery of an Event of Default Redemption Notice (other than in connection with an Event of Default occurring under Section 10(A)(iii), for which no such three (3) Business Days’ period shall be required), the Holder has neither received from the Company the Event of Default Acceleration Amount nor has the Holder received from Park Lane a Notice of Purchase pursuant to the terms of Section 10(B)(iv) prior to such third Business Day (as applicable), or (y) if Park Lane has delivered to the Holder a Notice of Purchase pursuant to Section 10(B)(iv) prior to the date that is three (3) Business Days after delivery of an Event of Default Redemption Notice (other than in connection with an Event of Default occurring under Section 10(A)(iii), for which no such three (3) Business Days’ period shall be required) and Park Lane has not consummated the purchase of this Note on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after the delivery of the Event of Default Redemption Notice, draw on the Closing Date Letter of Credit up to the remaining L/C Availability thereunder, solely in order to apply, and the Company hereby authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to apply, and Collateral Agent shall apply, such amounts drawn in respect of the Closing Date Letter of Credit to any amount then due and payable by the Company in respect of the Event of Default Acceleration Amount pursuant to such Event of Default Redemption Notice and all costs and expenses set forth in Section 20 hereof in connection with the enforcement of this Note, all without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company, and () exercise any and all rights and remedies provided to Collateral Agent or the Holder under this Note or any Security Document and/or at law or equity, including any and all rights and remedies available under the UCC, if applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note or the other Transaction Documents, any amounts received by, or on behalf of, the Holder or the Collateral Agent in connection with any exercise of remedies in connection herewith, shall be applied to the amounts outstanding under this Note and/or the amounts outstanding under the New Convertible Note, in the sole discretion of the Holder (provided, that, the application of any proceeds of Collateral shall be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement), and shall reduce the amount of the respective obligations hereunder and thereunder, and any such amounts in excess of such obligations shall be paid to () Park Lane, in the case of any proceeds of the Closing Date Letter of Credit, and () the Company or its designee, otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Note or the other Transaction Documents to the contrary but subject to the final sentence of this clause (B)(iii), the sole and exclusive recourse of the Holder, the Collateral Agent, and each Other Holder against Park Lane (in respect of this Note, the New Convertible Note, the other Transaction Documents, any Event of Default, or any other default, deficiency, event, circumstance, obligation or liability whatsoever, whenever and however arising) shall be to draw on the Closing Date Letter of Credit up to the L/C Availability in effect at the time of the applicable draw. In no event shall the aggregate amount recovered from Park Lane in respect of this Note and the New Convertible Note exceed the amounts actually drawn and received under the Closing Date Letter of Credit, and, subject to the final sentence of this clause (B)(iii), none of the Holder, the Collateral Agent, or any Other Holder shall have any recourse against Park Lane, or any property or assets of Park Lane (other than the Closing Date Letter of Credit and the proceeds thereof), for any deficiency, reimbursement, indemnity, contribution or other amount, whether arising before or after any draw on the Closing Date Letter of Credit. For
31
the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph limits the recourse of the Holder, the Collateral Agent, or any Other Holder against the Company or any Guarantor (as defined in the Subsidiary Guaranty), or against the Collateral, for the obligations under the Transaction Documents. The Holder’s allocation of amounts as between this Note and the New Convertible Note shall not impair, reduce or otherwise affect Park Lane’s rights of reimbursement, subrogation or contribution in respect of any draw on the Closing Date Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing of this clause (B)(iii), nothing in this clause (B)(iii) is intended to, nor shall, restrict, limit or nullify any rights and/or remedies, at law or in equity, of the Collateral Agent and/or the Holder arising under, or exercised in connection with in the enforcement of its rights in respect of, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Closing Date Letter of Credit.
(iv)

Park Lane shall be a third party beneficiary of this paragraph.
