(collectively, the "Lenders" and individually a "Lender") and PNC BANK, NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION ("PNC"), as agent for Lenders (PNC, in such capacity, the "Agent").
BACKGROUND
Borrowers, Lenders and Agent are parties to that certain Revolving Credit,
Term Loan and Security Agreement dated as of February 14, 2008 (as amended,
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Loan
Agreement") pursuant to which Agent and Lenders provide Borrowers with certain
financial accommodations.
Borrowers have requested that Agent and Lenders amend certain provisions of
the Loan Agreement as hereafter provided, and Agent and Lenders are willing to
do so on the terms and conditions hereafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of any loan or advance or grant of credit
heretofore or hereafter made to or for the account of Borrowers by Agent or
Lenders, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:
1. Definitions. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined or amended
herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement.
2. Reservation of Rights: Borrowers acknowledge that the Event of Default
set forth on Schedule I hereto (the "Existing Default") has occurred and is
continuing under the Loan Agreement.
(a) As a result of the Existing Default, Agent has the immediate right
to exercise its rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement, the Other
Documents or at law.
(b) To the extent Agent makes any additional Advances after the date
hereof, such Advances shall not constitute either a waiver of, nor
agreement to forbear by Agent with respect to the Existing Default or any
future violation or Event of Default under the Loan Agreement or the Other
Documents, including, without limitation, the Existing Default. No such
additional Advances by Agent shall, directly or indirectly, in any way
whatsoever, impair, prejudice or otherwise adversely affect Agent's right
at any time and from time to time to exercise any right, privilege or
remedy in connection with the Loan Agreement or related documents or amend
or alter the provisions of the Loan Agreement or the Other Documents or
constitute a course of dealing or other basis for altering any Obligation
of Borrowers or any other Person or any right, privilege or remedy of Agent
under the Loan Agreement or the Other Documents.
(c) Although Agent is not presently taking any immediate action with
respect to the Existing Default except as set forth above, Agent hereby
reserves all its rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement, the Other
Documents and applicable law, and its election not to exercise any such
right or remedy at the present time shall not (a) preclude Agent from
ceasing at any time to make Advances, (b) limit in any manner whatsoever
Borrowers' obligation to comply with, and Agent's right to insist on
Borrowers' compliance with, each and every term of the Loan Agreement and
the Other Documents or (c) constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or
any right or remedy available to Agent under the Loan Agreement, the Other
Documents or applicable law, and Agent hereby expressly reserves its rights
with respect to the same.
(d) No failure or delay on the part of Agent in exercising any right
or remedy under the Loan Agreement and no course of dealing between
Borrowers and Agent shall operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy under the
Loan Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right or remedy under the Loan Agreement. Agent
expressly reserves all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement.

Party by reason of any act, omission or thing whatsoever done or omitted to be
done on or prior to the date hereof arising out of, connected with or related in
any way to this Agreement, the Loan Agreement or any Other Document, or any act,
event or transaction related or attendant thereto, or Agent's or any Lender's
