RECITALS

Borrowers are parties to the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of September 25, 2002, as amended (collectively, the “Loan Agreement”), with the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Agent, the UK Agent and the Lenders party thereto, pursuant to which the Lenders have provided Borrowers with certain credit facilities.

The Borrowers have requested that the Lenders waive the Existing Event of Default and modify the minimum Fixed Charge Covenant to facilitate the Borrower’s future compliance with the Loan Agreement.

5.             Waiver and Amendment Fee.  In consideration of the Agreement of the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Waiver and Amendment, Domestic Borrower hereby agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent on the Effective Date of this Waiver and Amendment, for the sole account of the Domestic Lender, a one-time fee in the amount of $10,000 (the “Waiver and Amendment Fee”), which fee shall be deemed fully-earned and non-refundable once paid.  Domestic Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent may effect payment of the Waiver and Amendment Fee by charging the full amount thereof to the Domestic Loan Account.
