The Waiver relates to certain defaults that were triggered, or might have been triggered, from KBR's May 5, 2014, announcement that it intends to restate its year ended December 31, 2013, financial statements, and from the timing and delivery of financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and related documents, due to delays caused by the pending restatement.
