agreements against any one or more of the Loan Parties in their absolute and
sole discretion for any of the obligations of the Loan Parties or any other
liability or obligation of the Loan Parties arising thereunder.

and the Banks that it failed to comply with Section 6.17(e), the Total
Liabilities to Tangible Capital Funds Ratio covenant, as of the August 31, 2005
and September 30, 2005 months end, which failure has resulted in an Event of
Default under the Loan Agreement (the “Subject Covenant Defaults”). The Lenders
hereby waive the Subject Covenant Defaults provided that nothing herein shall be
construed as a waiver of, a consent to or any modification or amendment, or
limitation of, any term or condition of the Loan Agreement or of any right or
rights of the Lenders under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document to
