Here the allegation of Integrated Whale of a waiver is not based on Highlander not exercising or delaying acceleration of the Notes in respect of the 1 October Interest on or from the date when it was first entitled to do so; it is based instead on an alleged positive commitment by Highlander to permit Integrated Whale to pay the 1 October Interest with the next interest payment, and implicitly, not to accelerate based on the earlier non-payment of the 1 October Interest.

Steve Forbes continued in his role as chairman and editor-in-chief after the sale.
