the Borrower has requested that the Required Lenders agree to amend and waive

Accordingly,
in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration,
the sufficiency and receipt of all of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties
hereto hereby agree as follows:
SECTION

Terms.
Capitalized terms used but not herein shall be used herein as defined in the
Credit Agreement.
SECTION
2. Waiver.
As of
the Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), the undersigned Lenders hereby
(i) waive the conditions set forth in Section 7.03(f) of the Credit Agreement
with respect to the Assignment, (ii) agree that the Assignment be deemed to
be a
sale permitted by Section 7.03(f) of the Credit Agreement and (iii) agree that
the Assignment shall not be deemed to be a Disposition.
SECTION
3. Amendments.
As of
the Amendment Effective Date:
(a) Section
1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new
defined terms therein in the appropriate alphabetical locations:
“Glazed
Investments DIP Loan”
means
a
debtor-in-possession loan of up to $3,000,000 made by the Borrower to Glazed
Investments, LLC.
“Glazed
Investments Sale”
means
the sale of assets of Glazed Investments, LLC for cash consideration of
approximately $10,000,000 in a transaction approved in a bankruptcy proceeding
under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
(b) Section
7.05 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentence
at the end thereof:
“Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Glazed Investments DIP Loan
shall be deemed to be an Investment in a Joint Venture permitted by Section
7.05(k); provided
that the
Glazed Investments DIP Loan shall no longer be deemed to be an Investment
permitted by Section 7.05(k) unless a Glazed Investments Sale is consummated
and
the proceeds are applied to the permanent repayment of the obligations of Glazed
Investments, LLC guaranteed by the Borrower in an amount at least equal to
the
amount of the Glazed Investments DIP Loan, and such repayment occurs on or
before the earlier of (a) the date which is six months after the disbursement

the
Glazed Investments DIP Loan is no longer deemed to be an Investment permitted
by
Section 7.05(k) by operation of the proviso in the immediately preceding
sentence, the Glazed Investments DIP Loan shall be deemed to be a utilization
of
the amount of Investments permitted under Section 7.05(i) to the extent
permitted under Section 7.05(i) and, to the extent not so permitted, would
constitute a violation of Section 7.05. ”

fair
market value of the Equity Interests does not exceed $80,000.
