Amendment has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part
of the Borrowers.

 

B.                                     As of the date hereof and after giving
effect to this Amendment, the representations and warranties of the Borrowers
contained in the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, and the other Loan Documents
are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of this

required by Section 10.1 of the Loan Agreement for the period from August 25,
2003 through the date of this Amendment (the “Existing Event of Default”).  The
Agent and the Lenders hereby waive such Existing Event of Default.  Such waiver
relates solely to the Existing Event of Default and shall in no way be deemed or
construed as a waiver by the Agent and the Lenders of any other Default or Event
of Default under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, including
without limitation any additional breach of Section 10.1 occurring subsequent to
the date of this Amendment.  The Lenders expressly reserve the full extent of
their rights under the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable
law in respect of any other Default or Event of Default.

 

B.                                     Notwithstanding the fact that such
payments constitute Restricted Payments under the Loan Agreement, the Agent and
