Each such amendment, modification, extension or waiver shall be binding upon each party hereto; provided that (a) the consent of any Sponsor Holder, FWAC Sponsor Holder, Preferred Holder, and MIC Holder shall be required for any amendment, modification, extension or waiver which has an adverse effect on the rights, limitations or obligations of such Sponsor Holder, FWAC Sponsor Holder, Preferred Holder and MIC Holder, as applicable, and (b) any such amendment, modification, extension or waiver that by its terms would adversely affect a Holder or group of Holders in a disproportionate manner relative to the Holders generally shall require the written consent of the Holder (or a majority in interest based on Registrable Securities of such group of Holders) so affected. In addition, each party hereto may waive any right hereunder (solely as applicable to such party) by an instrument in writing signed by such party.

Each notice, demand, request, request for approval, consent, approval, disapproval, designation or other communication (each of the foregoing being referred to herein as a notice) required or desired to be given or made under this Agreement shall be in writing (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement), and shall be effective and deemed to have been received (i) when delivered in person, (ii) when receipt is acknowledged by recipient if sent by e-mail, (iii) five (5) days after having been mailed by certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (iv) the next Business Day after having been sent by a nationally recognized overnight mail or courier service, receipt requested. Notices shall be addressed as follows: (A) if to a Holder, at such Holder’s address or e-mail address set forth on Schedule A, Schedule B and Schedule C hereto, or at such other address or e-mail address as such Holder shall have furnished to the Company in writing, or (B) if to any assignee or transferee of a Holder, at such address or e-mail address as such assignee or transferee shall have furnished to the Company in writing, or (C) if to the Company, at the address of its principal executive offices and addressed to the attention of the President, or at such other address or e-mail address as the Company shall have furnished to the Holders.
