The Borrower has advised the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that it may consider selling for cash consideration all or a substantial portion of its inventory in a single transaction or series of related transactions (the “Inventory Transaction”).

The Net Cash Proceeds from this Inventory Transaction will be applied pursuant to Section 2.02(b)(i) of the Agreement, except that an amount equal to the “Permitted Vendor Payment” (as defined below) may be paid by the Borrower from such proceeds to the vendors of the inventory that is the subject of the Inventory Transaction. “Permitted Vendor Payment” means an amount equal to the excess of (x) 50% of the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Inventory

With respect to the annual financial statements for the year-ended December 31, 2006, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby waive the requirement set forth in Section 6.01(a) of the Agreement that Borrower deliver an opinion (the “Internal Controls Opinion for 2007”) of a Registered Public Accounting Firm independently assessing the Borrower’s internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Item 308 of SEC Regulation S-K, PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 2, and Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley expressing a conclusion that contains no statement that there is a material weakness in such internal controls to the extent that the Internal Controls Opinion for 2007 (x) is delivered later than March 31, 2007 and (y) mentions that there are material weaknesses in such internal controls; provided that the waiver in this Section 12 shall terminate and be of no force or effect unless (i) the Borrower cures all of the material weakness in internal controls (identified in Schedule A to Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement dated as of March 30, 2007 or in the Internal Controls Opinion for 2007) by August 30, 2007, and (ii) the Borrower receives the Internal Controls Opinion for 2007 (and delivers a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) by August 30, 2007.

Section 13. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower hereby repeats and restates those representations and warranties set forth in Article V of the Agreement, as if made on and as of the date hereof (except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date), which representations and warranties are hereby incorporated herein by reference, as if specifically set forth herein; provided that references to “the Agreement” in any Loan Documents shall be and are deemed to mean the Agreement as amended hereby. The Borrower represents and warrants that attached to Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement dated as of March 30, 2007 as Schedule A is a brief description of the material weaknesses in the Borrower’s internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Item 308 of SEC Regulation S-K, PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 2, and Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley identified with respect to the annual financial statements for the year-ended December 31, 2006. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants that, after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default exists on the date of this Amendment.

Section 14. Consent of Guarantors. By signing below, each of the Guarantors irrevocably consents and agrees to this Amendment.

Section 15. Miscellaneous. This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Amendment on any number of counterparts (including by facsimile), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. This


Amendment is a Loan Document. The Borrower shall pay or reimburse each of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment, including without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, LLP. The provisions of Sections 10.14 and 10.15 of the Agreement are incorporated by reference into this Amendment mutatis mutandis. This Amendment shall not constitute an amendment or waiver of any of the terms and provisions of the Agreement and shall not be construed as a waiver or consent to any further or future action on the part of the Borrower or any Guarantor, except to the extent expressly set forth herein. Except as specifically set forth herein, all of the terms and provisions of the Agreement and the other Loan Documents are and shall remain in full force and effect and the Borrower and the Guarantors shall continue to be bound by such terms and provisions.
