SECTION 14. Waiver and Release. The Borrowers have delivered to the Lenders a Compliance Certificate for the Company’s Fiscal Quarter ending March 31, 2009. Based upon such information, the Lenders hereby waive compliance by the Borrowers, and waive any Default or Event of Default that may have arisen, in connection with the covenant contained within Section 5.40 of the Credit Agreement for the Company’s Fiscal Quarter ending March 31, 2009. This waiver does not operate as a waiver of any Credit Agreement provision other than as set forth above with respect to Section 5.40 and does not operate with regard to any other prior or future Fiscal Quarter of the Company.

Each Lender has been informed by the Administrative Agent or by the Borrower of the waiver set forth in this Section 14 and has been afforded an opportunity to consider the same. Each Lender has been supplied by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, to the extent requested, with sufficient information to enable such Lender to make an informed decision with respect to the waiver set forth in this Section 14.

The Borrowers and the Guarantors acknowledge that, except as waived in this Section 14, all of the rights, powers and remedies vested in the Lenders under the Credit Agreement continue to exist, and that the Lenders remain free to exercise any of the their rights, powers and remedies under the Credit Agreement at any time subject only to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in the Credit Agreement and under applicable Law.

The waiver set forth in this Section 14 is limited to the matters set forth herein. Except as set forth in this Section 14, no past, present or future failure of the Lenders to exercise any rights, powers or remedies under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall operate as or be construed to be a waiver of (i) any right, power or remedy of the Lenders or (ii) any term, provision, representation, warranty or covenant contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Lenders may, subject to the waiver set forth in this Section 14 and any limitations contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and applicable Law, exercise any such right, power or remedy at any time. Furthermore, nothing in this Section 14 shall be deemed to limit, estop or otherwise restrict or prohibit the Lenders from exercising any of their rights or remedies under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or under applicable Laws or principles of equity with respect to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default other than those expressly waived in this Section 14, all of which rights and remedies are specifically hereby reserved. The waiver set forth in this Section 14 shall not constitute a course of dealing or a waiver of the Lenders’ right to withhold their consent for any similar request in the future.

Each of the Borrowers and the Guarantors acknowledge, represent and agree that none of the Borrowers or the Guarantors have any defenses, setoffs, claims, counterclaims or causes of action of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Loan Documents, the administration or funding of the Advances or with respect to any acts or omissions of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any past or present officers, agents or employees of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and each of the Borrowers and the Guarantors does hereby expressly waive, release and relinquish any and all such defenses, setoffs, claims, counterclaims and causes of action, if any.
