1. Reaffirmation. Each of the Loan Parties acknowledges and reaffirms (a) that it is bound by all of the terms of the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents to which it is a party and (b) that it is responsible for the observance and full performance of all Obligations, including without limitation, the repayment of the Loans and reimbursement of any drawings on a Letter of Credit. Furthermore, the Loan Parties acknowledge and confirm (i) that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have performed fully all of their respective obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) by entering into this Agreement, the Lenders do not waive (except as specifically provided in Sections 2 and 3 below) or release any term or condition of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of their rights or remedies under such Loan Documents or applicable law or any of the obligations of the Loan Parties thereunder.

2. Consent. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lenders hereby consent to the Delayed Delivery of Financial Information. The above consent shall not modify or affect the Loan Parties’ obligations to comply fully with the terms of Section 6.1(b) and Section 6.2(b) of the Credit Agreement or any other duty, term, condition or covenant contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in the future. The consent is limited solely to the specific consent identified above and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver (except as specifically provided in Section 3 below) of any other rights or remedies the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or under applicable law.

3. Waiver.

(a) The Loan Parties acknowledge that Events of Default exist under the Credit Agreement as a result of the failure of the Loan Parties to comply with the terms of Sections 6.12(a) and 6.12(d) of the Credit Agreement as of the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2009 (collectively, the “Existing Events of Default”).

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders hereby waive the Existing Events of Default. The above shall not modify or affect the Loan Parties’ obligations to comply fully with the terms of Section 6.12(a) and Section 6.12(d) of the Credit Agreement or any other duty, term, condition or covenant contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in the future. The waiver is limited solely to the Existing Events of Default, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents or under applicable law. The provisions and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall not establish a custom or course of dealing or conduct between the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, any Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party.

(c) During the period from the date hereof and thereafter, unless and until (i) the first date subsequent to the date hereof that the Administrative Agent shall have received a Compliance Certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(b) of the Credit Agreement demonstrating that the Loan Parties are in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.12(a) and Section 6.12(d) of the Credit Agreement and (ii) no other Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing at the time of receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Compliance Certificate referenced in the foregoing clause (i) of this paragraph, but subject to the terms of this Agreement:

(i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed $40,000,000 (or such lesser amount if the Revolving Commitment is reduced below $40,000,000 pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Credit Agreement) (the “Reduced Availability Amount”);

(ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans of any Lender plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not exceed such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Reduced Availability Amount; and

(iii) all other conditions to the making of Revolving Credit Loans and the issuing or extending of Letters of Credit in the Credit Agreement (including without limitation the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 of the Credit Agreement) shall have been satisfied before any Revolving Credit Loans are made or any Letters of Credit issued or extended.

4. Amendment. The definition of “Applicable Rate” in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows:

‘APPLICABLE RATE’ means, from time to time, the following percentages per annum, based upon the Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio (the “Applicable Financial Covenant”) as set forth in the most recent Compliance Certificate received by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.2(b):

Pricing Level	Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio	LIBOR Margin		Base Rate Margin		Commitment Fee

I	> 3.50 to 1.0	3.00	%	0.50	%	0.625	%

II	> 3.00 to 1.0 but < 3.50 to 1.0	2.75	%	0.25	%	0.50	%

III	> 2.50 to 1.0 but < 3.00 to 1.0	2.50	%	0.00	%	0.50	%

IV	> 1.50 to 1.0 but < 2.50 to 1.0	2.00	%	0.00	%	0.35	%

V	< 1.50 to 1.0	1.375	%	0.00	%	0.25	%

Any increase or decrease in the Applicable Rate resulting from a change in the Applicable Financial Covenant shall become effective commencing on the 5th Business Day immediately following the date a Compliance Certificate is delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(b); provided, however, that if a Compliance Certificate is not delivered when due in accordance with such Section, then Pricing Level I shall apply commencing on the 5th Business Day following the date such Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered. Commencing upon the 5th Business Day following receipt of such delinquent Compliance Certificate, the Applicable Rate shall be adjusted to the appropriate Pricing Level.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, from September 1, 2009 and thereafter, unless and until (i) the first date subsequent to September 1, 2009 upon which the Administrative Agent shall have received a Compliance Certificate required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.2(b) of the Credit Agreement demonstrating that the Loan Parties are in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.12(a) and Section 6.12(d) of the Credit Agreement and (ii) no other Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing at the time of receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Compliance Certificate referenced in the foregoing clause (i) of this paragraph (the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph collectively, the “Applicable Rate Adjustment Conditions”), the Applicable Rate shall be the following percentages per annum: (a) 4.75%, in the case of LIBOR Loans and Letter of Credit Fees, (b) 3.75%, in the case of Base Rate Loans and (c) 0.75%, in the case of the Commitment Fee. Upon satisfaction of the Applicable Rate Adjustment Conditions (such satisfaction to be measured in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), the Applicable Rate shall be determined based upon the first paragraph of this definition.

5. Conditions Precedent. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof when all of the conditions set forth below have been satisfied:

(a) receipt by the Administrative Agent of counterparts of this Agreement, duly executed by the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Majority Lenders and the Administrative Agent; and

(b) receipt by the Administrative Agent of all fees payable in connection with this Agreement, including, on behalf of each Lender signing this Agreement on or before August 14,

2009, a fee equal to 0.25% on the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Reduced Availability Amount.
