          WHEREAS, the Company, each of the Lenders signatory to an acknowledgment and consent, in the form set forth as Exhibit A (an “Acknowledgment and Consent”), and the Administrative Agent have agreed to such waiver and amendments on the terms and subject to the conditions herein provided.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

          SECTION 1. Consent and Waiver.

          (a) As of the Effective Date, the Administrative Agent and each Lender signatory to an Acknowledgment and Consent hereby (i) consent to (A) the delivery of the Financial Statements required by Section 6.1(a) (Quarterly Reports) and the related Compliance Certificate required by Section 6.1(c) (Compliance Certificate) for the Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 2006 and the Fiscal Quarter ended September 30, 2006, on or prior to February 14, 2007, and (B) the delivery of the Financial Statements and related accountant’s report required by Section 6.1(b) (Annual Reports) and the related Compliance Certificate required by Section 6.1(c) (Compliance Certificate) for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2006, on or prior to February 14, 2007 and (ii) waive any Default or Event of

 

Default (x) arising from the Company’s failure to comply with Section 6.1(a) (Quarterly Reports), Section 6.1(b) (Annual Reports) or Section 6.1(c) (Compliance Certificate) (all such financial statements, reports and certificates being the “Delayed Reports”); provided that, in each case, the failure to deliver each of the Delayed Reports within the applicable time period provided by the Credit Agreement shall have resulted directly or indirectly from the Options Matter.

          (b) The Administrative Agent and each Lender signatory to an Acknowledgment and Consent hereby waive any Default or Event of Default under Section 9.1(c) (Events of Default) solely to the extent that the representations or warranties made or deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 4.4(a) (Financial Statements), Section 4.9 (Full Disclosure), Section 6.1(a) (Quarterly Reports) or Section 6.1(e) (Business Plan) shall prove to have been incorrect when made or deemed to have been made as a result of a restatement, adjustment or other modification of the Financial Statements delivered to the Administrative Agent prior to the Effective Date; provided that such restatement, adjustment or other modification shall have resulted directly or indirectly from the Options Matter.

          (c) The Administrative Agent and each Lender signatory to an Acknowledgment and Consent hereby waive any Default or Event of Default under Section 9.1(e) (Events of Default), arising from the Company’s or any other Group Member’s failure to comply with similar reporting covenants under any other Indebtedness (including any requirement to file any report with the SEC or to furnish such report to the holders of such Indebtedness) (collectively, “Similar Reporting Covenants”); provided that (i) such failure to comply shall have resulted directly or indirectly from the Options Matter and (ii) the Company and/or such other Group Member, as applicable, shall have delivered all reports and all other statements required by each such Similar Reporting Covenant on or prior to February 14, 2007.

          (d) Except as expressly provided in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above, nothing contained in this Amendment shall be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.

          (e) Notwithstanding the Applicable Margin with respect to Revolving Loans or Applicable Unused Commitment Fee Rate that would otherwise be in effect, from and after the Effective Date and through the earlier of (x) February 14, 2007 and (y) the date that any of the Delayed Reports have been delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement (as amended by this Amendment) (the “Modification Termination Date”), (i) “Applicable Margin” shall mean with respect to Revolving Loans maintained as (1) Base Rate Loans, a rate equal to 0.25% per annum and (2) Eurocurrency Rate Loans, a rate equal to 1.25% per annum and (ii) “Applicable Unused Commitment Fee Rate” shall mean 0.375% per annum. Commencing on the Modification Termination Date, “Applicable Margin” and “Applicable Unused Commitment Fee Rate” shall each revert to the definition set forth in the Credit Agreement without giving effect to this Section 1(e) and from and after the Modification Termination Date, this Amendment shall cease to be of further force and effect with respect to any Delayed Report that has been delivered.

          (f) Promptly, but in any event within 10 Business Days after delivery of the Financial Statements for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 2006, the Company shall furnish to the Administrative Agent an update of the Projections delivered by it in accordance with Section 6.1(e) (Business Plan).
