the Loan Agreement is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

3. Distributions. Section 7.11 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended
by deleting of the reference to "$5,000,000" in clause (c)(iv) thereof, and
inserting "$4,000,000" in lieu thereof.
4. Waiver and Consent. (a) Fundamental Changes. (i) The Parent desires

(ii) Pursuant to the request of the Parent, the Required Lenders
under the Loan Agreement as of the date hereof hereby consent to and waive any
Event of Default that would otherwise arise under Section 8.2 of the Loan
Agreement from any noncompliance by the Borrowers with Section 7.3(a) of the
Loan Agreement directly as a result of the Mergers.
(b) Financial Covenants. Pursuant to the request of the Parent, the
Required Lenders hereby consent to and waive any Event of Default that would
otherwise arise under Section 8.2 of the Loan Agreement from any noncompliance
by the Borrowers with Section 7.20(a) of the Loan Agreement arising out of the
failure of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries to attain a Minimum EBITDA of at
