          NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants and agreement herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
WAIVER
          1. Effective as of the date of this Waiver, the undersigned hereby waive compliance by the Company and the Note Guarantors with the requirements of Sections 6.1 and 6.4 of the Credit Agreement in so far as any such requirement would prevent, limit or otherwise alter the Company’s or such Note Guarantor’s ability to enter into, perform its obligations under or consummate the transactions contemplated by, the Agreement and the other Note Purchase Documents (including, but not limited to, the Company’s or such Note Guarantor’s ability to make any prepayment of any amount due pursuant to the Agreement or any other Note Purchase Document).
          2. Effective as of the date of this Waiver, the undersigned hereby agree that the failure of the Company or any Note Guarantor to pay when due any principal of or interest on any Note issued pursuant to the Agreement or any other amount payable in respect of any Note Purchase Document shall not constitute an Event of Default under Section 8.1(b) of the Credit Agreement until or unless any Purchaser shall have declared any of the Notes then outstanding and held by it to be due and payable (and such declaration has not been rescinded or annulled pursuant to the terms of the Agreement).
          3. Except as expressly provided herein, (a) the execution, delivery and performance of this Waiver shall not constitute a waiver of any provision of, or operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document and (b) the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.
          4. This Waiver and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York.
          5. This Waiver may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document.
