The Servicer expects to fail to satisfy each Annual Financial Statement Delivery Requirement and each Quarterly Financial Statement Delivery Requirement.

 

Additionally, the Servicer has notified the Agent that it (i) has failed to timely file its annual  reports on Form 10-K for the 2005 Fiscal Year and the 2006 Fiscal Year with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance   with   the  Securities  and  Exchange  Act  of 1934, (ii) has failed to timely file quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for all of its fiscal quarters in 2006 with the Securities Exchange Commission in accordance with the Securities Exchange Actof of 1934, and (iii) has failed to timely file one or more of its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for fiscal quarters in

 

 

2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the occurrence of any such failure, a "Periodic ReportingFailure").

 

 

The Servicer has requested that the Agent waive any potential Servicer Defaults arising from the matters described above. The Agent hereby agrees to waive the occurrence of any Servicer Defaults to the extent described below.

 

1.  The Agent (in accordance with Section 7.06 of the Servicing Agreement) hereby directs the Indenture Trustee to waive, and each of Indenture Trustee, the Conduit Investor and the Agent hereby waives, any Servicer Default arising solely from the failure to satisfy the Annual Financial Statement Delivery Requirements; provided that this waiver shall only remain effective until December 31, 2007 unless the Servicer shall have satisfied each Annual Financial Statement Delivery Requirement prior to such date.

 

2.  The Agent (in accordance with Section 7.06 of the Servicing Agreement) hereby directs the Indenture Trustee to waive, and each of Indenture Trustee, the Conduit Investor and the Agent hereby waives, any Servicer Default arising solely from the failure to satisfy the Quarterly Financial Statement Delivery Requirements; provided that this waiver shall only remain effective until December 31, 2007 unless the Servicer shall have satisfied each Quarterly Financial Statement Delivery Requirement prior to such date.

 

3.  The Agent (in accordance with Section 7.06 of the Servicing Agreement) hereby directs the Indenture Trustee to waive, and each of Indenture Trustee, the Conduit Investor and the Agent hereby waives, any Servicer Default or default arising under Section 5.05 of the Note Purchase Agreement from any Periodic Reporting Failure; provided that this waiver shall only remain effective until December 31, 2007 unless the Servicer shall have caused the annual reports and quarterly reports giving rise to any Periodic Reporting Failure to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to such date.

 

Each of the Indenture Trustee, the Conduit Investor and the Agent hereby expressly reserves, and nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver of, (i) any Servicer Default or default under the Note Purchase Agreement specified in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, to the extent that the effectiveness of the waiver of such Servicer Default or default under the Note Purchase Agreement shall lapse as described therein and (ii) any rights with respect to any breach constituting a Servicer Default, Potential Servicer Default or default under the Note Purchase Agreement existing or arising for any other reason.
