RECITALS
A. The Issuers and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association (the “Trustee”), have entered into that certain Indenture dated as of December 20, 2004 (together with all supplements thereto, the “Indenture”), whereby the Issuers issued 9.000% Senior Secured Notes due in 2012 in the aggregate principal amount of $125,000,000 for the benefit of the Holders thereof (together with all modifications, extensions, renewals and replacements thereof, if any, the “Senior Secured Notes”).
B. The Guarantors have each executed guarantees in favor of the Holders of the Senior Secured Notes (collectively, the “Guarantees”), guaranteeing all of the Issuers’ obligations under the Senior Secured Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth in such Guarantees and the Indenture. This Agreement, the Indenture, the Senior Secured Notes, the Guarantees, and all mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, pledge agreements, control agreements, collateral assignment agreements and all other agreements, instruments, and documents executed in connection with the Indenture and Senior Secured Notes, including without limitation the Collateral Agreements, are referred to collectively herein as the “Loan Documents”.
C. The next installment of interest payable on the Senior Secured Notes in the amount of Five Million Six Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($5,625,000) (the “Interest Payment”) was due on January 15, 2009 (the “Interest Due Date”), with a thirty (30) day grace period for the payment thereof (the “Grace Period”).
D. Issuers did not make the Interest Payment on the Interest Due Date nor within the Grace Period, which results in an Event of Default under the terms of the Indenture and the Senior Secured Notes (the “Payment Default”).

E. In addition to the Payment Default, certain covenant defaults or other Events of Default may also occur under the Indenture on or after the Grace Period (the “Potential Other Defaults” and, together with the Payment Default, the “Specified Defaults”).
F. In the event any Specified Default occurs, the Issuers have requested the Majority Note Holders, and the Majority Note Holders have agreed, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to forbear from exercising any of their rights or remedies under the Loan Documents and from taking any action to cause the Trustee to exercise any of the Trustee’s rights or remedies with respect to the Specified Defaults, and, furthermore, in the event Trustee does take any action with respect to any of the Specified Defaults, to the extent provided for in the Loan Documents, to cause the Trustee to forbear from exercising any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, in each case, until the Scheduled Forbearance Termination Date (as defined below) (subject to termination as set forth below).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter stated, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Recitals. Each of the Issuers hereby acknowledges and agrees that the recitals set forth above are true and correct and that the total aggregate outstanding obligations under the Indenture consists of the principal balance of the Senior Secured Notes as of the Execution Date of $125,000,000, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and any other amounts that are due and owing under the Loan Documents.
2. Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used herein (including, without limitation, in the preamble and preliminary statements hereof) that are not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Indenture or the Collateral Agreements, as applicable.
3. Reaffirmation of Loan Documents. Each of the Issuers hereby acknowledges and reaffirms each and all of the Issuers’ obligations, duties, covenants and liabilities under the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the obligation to pay all amounts due under the Senior Secured Notes. Each of the Issuers further acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Loan Documents are valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their terms and remain in full force and effect, (ii) the liens and security interests granted pursuant to the Collateral Agreements are valid, perfected and enforceable liens, and all such liens and security interests and all Collateral granted as security under the Collateral Agreements continues to be and remains collateral for the indebtedness and obligations under the Indenture, and (iii) there are no claims, demands, offsets or defenses at law or in equity that would defeat or diminish the Majority Note Holders’ present and unconditional right to collect the indebtedness evidenced by the Senior Secured Notes and to proceed to enforce the rights and remedies available to the Majority Note Holders as provided in the Loan Documents or by law.
4. Reaffirmation of Guarantees. Each of the Guarantors hereby acknowledges and reaffirms all of the Guarantors’ respective obligations, duties, covenants and liabilities under the terms and conditions of the Guarantees, including, but not limited to, the obligation to pay all amounts due under their respective Guarantees. Each of the Guarantors further acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Guarantees are valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms and remain in full force and effect, and (ii) there are no claims, demands, offsets or defenses at law or in equity that would defeat or diminish the Majority Note Holders’ present and unconditional right to collect the amounts due under the Guarantees and to proceed to enforce the rights and remedies available to the Majority Note Holders as provided in the Guarantees or by law.

5. Forbearance.
(a) So long as none of the Issuers or Guarantors defaults under the terms of this Agreement, and otherwise subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Majority Note Holders agree to forbear from exercising any of their rights or remedies under the Loan Documents and from taking any action to cause the Trustee to exercise any of the Trustee’s rights or remedies, in each case, arising out of the Specified Defaults during the period commencing on the Effective Date and terminating on the Termination Date (as defined below) (the “Forbearance Period”). Furthermore, in the event Trustee does take any action with respect to any of the Specified Defaults during the Forbearance Period, to the extent provided for in the Loan Documents, Majority Note Holders shall cause the Trustee to forbear from exercising any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents. During the Forbearance Period, interest shall continue to accrue on the entire unrepaid balance of the Senior Secured Notes and on the Interest Payment in accordance with Section 4.1 of the Indenture and in the Senior Secured Notes. The “Termination Date” shall be the earlier to occur of the Scheduled Forbearance Termination Date or the occurrence of a Forbearance Event Default (as such terms are defined below).
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Loan Documents, each of the Obligors acknowledges and agrees that (i) except for the limited forbearance set forth herein granted by the Majority Note Holders, the actions of each of the Majority Note Holders in entering into this Agreement shall not constitute or be construed or deemed as (x) a waiver or relinquishment of, or estoppel to assert, any rights or remedies under any of the Loan Documents, applicable law or in equity, (y) a waiver of any Event of Default or Default under the Loan Documents, or (z) an amendment, modification or consent to any non-compliance to any provision under the Loan Documents; (ii) except as set forth herein, each of the Majority Note Holders reserves the right to enforce each and every term of the Loan Documents; (iii) each of the Majority Note Holders is under no duty or obligation of any kind or any nature to grant any of the Issuers any additional period of forbearance beyond that provided herein; (iv) the actions of each of the Majority Note Holders in entering into this Agreement are without prejudice to the right of each of the Majority Note Holders to pursue any and all remedies under the Loan Documents, pursuant to applicable law, or in equity available to it in its sole discretion upon the termination (whether upon expiration thereof, upon acceleration, or otherwise) of this Agreement; (v) the Senior Secured Notes will remain in default throughout the Forbearance Period and, but for this Agreement, the Majority Note Holders would be entitled to exercise their rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and applicable law in respect of the Specified Defaults; (vi) the Obligors have no defenses, setoffs, or counterclaims against the Majority Note Holders or, alternatively, to the extent that any defenses, setoffs, or counterclaims exist, the Obligors hereby waive any and all defenses, setoffs, and counterclaims which they may have or claim to have in respect of the obligations of the Obligors under the Loan Documents; and (vi) the Forbearance Period will expire automatically and without notice immediately upon the occurrence, at any time prior to the expiration of the Forbearance Period, of any breach, Default or Event of Default on the part of the Issuers or Guarantors under this Agreement or, upon the expiration of the Forbearance Period.
(c) The Scheduled Forbearance Termination Date shall be March 9, 2009 (the “Scheduled Forbearance Termination Date”), provided that (i) on or before March 2, 2009, the Issuers deliver to Morgan Joseph & Co., Inc. (“Morgan Joseph”) and Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP (“CWT” and, together with Morgan Joseph, the “Professional Advisors”) a summary of indicative terms and conditions in respect of the restructuring of the obligations under the Indenture, the Credit Agreement and any other Indebtedness (the “Term Sheet”) and (ii) on or before March 6, 2009, the Issuers deliver to the Professional Advisors a 13-week cash flow forecast for the succeeding 13 calendar weeks in form and substance acceptable to the Professional Advisors.
