SECTION 1. Waiver. The Lenders party hereto hereby waive any Default or Event of Default arising under Section 7.11(a) of the Credit Agreement as a result of the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Fixed Charges for the four consecutive fiscal quarters of the Company ending on June 26, 2009, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, being less than 2.00 to 1.00; provided that the effectiveness of such waiver shall be subject to the consummation of the Medtech Disposition, substantially on the terms set forth in the Medtech Disposition Agreement, on or prior to June 26, 2009.

(a) this Waiver has been duly and validly executed by the Company and constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting creditor's rights generally;

(b) all representation and warranties of each of the Borrowers contained in the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof (except with respect to representations and warranties expressly made only as of an earlier date, which representations were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); and
