4.2 Limited Effect. The provisions of this Section 4 shall be effective solely for the purposes set forth herein, shall be limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed to (a) waive any Default or Event of Default (including any Current Event of Default or Scheduled Expected Default) or (b) otherwise prejudice any right or remedy which the Lenders or the Administrative Agent may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with the Loan Documents.

 

4.3 Failure to Comply. Each of the Borrowers and the Company agrees that any failure by the Borrowers or the Company to perform timely, and otherwise comply with, any of their respective obligations set forth in this Section 4 shall constitute an immediate Event of Default.
