WHEREAS, Borrowers and the Lender Group have entered into that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of November 15, 2004 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders have made certain loans and financial accommodations available to Borrowers;

WHEREAS, Borrowers have requested that the Lender Group waive the Event of Default that has occurred as a result of Borrowers failure to meet the minimum EBITDA requirement set forth in Section 6.16(a)(i) of the Credit Agreement for the twelve month period ending on April 1, 2007 (the “Designated Event of Default”); and

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lender Group is willing to grant the waiver requested by the Borrowers.

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

2. Waiver. Agent and the Lenders hereby waive the Designated Event of Default. The foregoing waiver shall be effective only for the specific default comprising the Designated Event of Default, and in no event shall this waiver be deemed to be a waiver of enforcement of any of Agent’s or Lenders’ rights with respect to any other Defaults or Events of Default now existing or hereafter arising. Nothing contained in this Amendment nor any communications between any Borrower or any Guarantor and Agent or any Lender shall be a waiver of any rights or remedies that Agent or any Lender has or may have against any Borrower or any Guarantor, except as specifically provided herein. Except as specifically provided herein, Agent and each Lender hereby reserves and preserves all of its rights and remedies against each Borrower and each Guarantor under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(a) The Credit Agreement, as modified hereby, and each of the other Loan Documents shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms and hereby are ratified and confirmed in all respects.

Any waivers and modifications herein are limited to the specifics hereof, shall not apply with respect to any facts or occurrences other than those on which the same are based, shall not excuse future non-compliance with the Loan Documents, and shall not operate as a waiver to any further or other matter under the Loan Documents.
