(For the avoidance of doubt, the Required Lenders shall not have the right to impose during the Limited Waiver Period the additional 2% default rate(s) under Sections 4.1 or 5.2(a) of the Credit Agreement by reason of the Specified Events of Default but shall have the right to do so upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default.) The Limited Waiver is limited solely to the Specified Events of Default and shall not apply to any other Events of Default and is also limited solely to the Limited Waiver Period and shall not extend to any period beyond the Limited Waiver Period. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, the Borrowers (and other Credit Parties) hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the Limited Waiver does not apply to any breach of Sections 11.14.1 or 11.14.3 of the Credit Agreement other than the breach of Section 11.14.1 for the Computation Period ending March 31, 2009 and the breach of Section 11.4.3 as of the last day of the Computation Period ending March 31, 2009 and (ii) after the Limited Waiver Period, the Specified Events of Default shall (unless otherwise hereafter waived in writing by the Required Lenders (it being understood and agreed that any such waiver would be at the sole and absolute discretion of the Required Lenders and no Lender has any obligation to grant such waiver)) exist and be continuing Events of Default for all purposes and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time (including immediately) to exercise any or all of their respective rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and under applicable law with respect to the Specified Events of Default including without limitation the right to impose the default rates under Section 4.1 or 5.2(a) of the Credit Agreement, accelerate any or all the Loans or other Obligations, refuse to make any additional Revolving Loans or to issue any additional Letters of Credit, terminate

the Commitments and/or realize on the Collateral. Each of the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties hereby consents to, and acknowledges the availability of, each and every right and remedy set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to the Specified Events of Default after the Limited Waiver Period.

ARTICLE III
LIMITED WAIVER AND MODIFICATION

     3.01 Certain Agreements Regarding Limited Waiver Period. In consideration of the Lenders’ granting (subject to the terms and conditions hereof) the Limited Waiver above, each of the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees as follows:

     (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Credit Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Document, the Applicable Margin during the Limited Waiver Period for all of the Loans and the undrawn amounts of each Letter of Credit, as the case may be, shall be the following applicable rates per annum:

LIBOR		Base Rate				Non-Use				L/C Fee
Margin		Margin				Fee Rate				Rate
4.50%			3.00	%			0.500	%			4.50	%

     (b) With respect to any LIBOR Loan borrowed or continued during the Limited Waiver Period, and with respect to any Base Rate Loan converted into a LIBOR Loan during the Limited Waiver Period, the only Interest Period that may be selected is a period of one month.

     (c) The Borrowers shall not request any Letters of Credit to be issued or to be extended during the Limited Waiver Period. Oxy-Dry GmbH shall not request any new German Revolving Loans in the Limited Waiver Period.

     (d) No Borrower shall make any borrowing of a Revolving Loan during the Limited Waiver Period if immediately after such borrowing the Dollar Equivalent of all Revolving Outstandings shall exceed $17,100,000. In addition to (and not in limitation of) the restriction set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, (i) no Borrower shall make any borrowing of a Revolving Loan in Euros during the Limited Waiver Period if immediately after such borrowing the Dollar Equivalent of Euro Revolving Outstandings exceeds $4,000,000 and (ii) if at any time(s) during the Limited Waiver Period the Dollar Equivalent of Euro Revolving Outstandings exceeds $4,000,000 (it being agreed that for purposes of this clause (ii) the Revaluation Date shall be each day in the Limited Waiver Period), the Parent shall immediately cause the prepayment (i.e., shall cause a mandatory prepayment) of a sufficient amount of Revolving Loans borrowed in Euros so that the Dollar Equivalent of Euro Revolving Outstandings no longer exceed $4,000,000. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 8.4 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to any prepayment made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. Upon the request of the Parent, the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation and shall have no liability for its refusal to do so) to make the provisions of Section 6.2.2(d)

of the Credit Agreement apply to any such prepayment with such conforming changes to Section 6.2.2(d) (as such Section applies to any such prepayment) as the Administrative Agent shall require in connection with any such prepayment.

     (e) No (i) Specified Permitted Redemption shall be made during the Limited Waiver Period and (ii) Rabbi Trust Permitted Payment under clause (a) of the definition of Rabbi Trust Permitted Payments shall be made during the Limited Waiver Period. The Borrowers and other Credit Parties represent and warrant that no Specified Permitted Redemption Payment and no Rabbi Trust Permitted Payment has been made from (and including) January 1, 2009 to (and including) the date hereof.

     (f) The restrictions and other provisions of (1) the definition of Asset Dispositions and (2) Sections 10.2, subclauses (v), (vi) and (vii) of Section 11.5, 11.11(a), and 11.11(j) of the Credit Agreement that apply if there is an Event of Default shall be deemed to apply during the Limited Waiver Period whether or not an Event of Default exists. The Borrowers also agree that, with respect to any Debt that would otherwise be permitted under the terms of subclauses (ii) and (iii) of subsections 11.1(d) of the Credit Agreement and is created during the Limited Waiver Period, (a) such Debt shall (in addition to complying with any other restrictions in the Credit Agreement) only consist of Debt incurred in the ordinary course of business of the Parent and its Subsidiaries consistent with prior practices of the Parent and its Subsidiaries and (b) no such Debt shall consist of loans to or other Debt owed by Japan-Baldwin Ltd. Borrowers and other Credit Parties represent and warrant that, with respect to any Debt created under such subclauses (ii) and (iii) in the period from January 1, 2009 to (and including) the date hereof, (a) all such Debt was incurred in the ordinary course of business of the Parent and its Subsidiaries consistent with prior practices of the Parent and its Subsidiaries and (b) no such Debt consists of loans to or other Debt owed by Japan-Baldwin Ltd.

     3.02 Swedish Letter of Credit. It is acknowledged that the Parent had previously requested, and the Administrative Agent has issued, a Parent Letter of Credit in the amount of 5,000,000 Swedish Krona (LaSalle Bank National Association letter of credit #S605274 and Bank of America, N.A. letter of credit #68030846) (as same may be modified from time to time, the “Swedish Letter of Credit”). It is acknowledged and agreed that the Swedish Letter of Credit is one of the Parent Letters of Credit and that the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement (including without limitation Sections 2.1.5 and 2.3 of the Credit Agreement) and the other Loan Documents shall apply to the Swedish Letter of Credit. The term “Euros” as used in the Credit Agreement (and any other applicable Loan Document) shall be deemed to mean “Swedish Krona” in connection with the Swedish Letter of Credit. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, the Dollar Equivalent of the Stated Amount of the Swedish Letter of Credit shall be the equivalent amount thereof in Dollars as determined by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, at such time on the basis of the Spot Rate (determined in respect of the most recent Revaluation Date) for the purchase of Dollars with Swedish Krona.

     3.03 Modifications. The Credit Agreement is hereby deemed modified to reflect all of the terms and provisions of Sections 3.01 and 3.02 above. Any breach by any Borrower (or other

Credit Party) of the provisions of Section 3.01 or other term or provision of this Agreement shall be deemed an Event of Default for all purposes.
