proceeds of loans advanced thereunder are to be used (i) to roll up on a dollar

below), (ii) to fund ongoing working capital requirements during the pendency of

CITBC, with CITBC as Administrative Agent and as a lender, together with the
other lenders party thereto, dated August 23, 2006, as amended (the "Existing

thereof. You agree that no other agents or arrangers will be appointed, and no
other titles or compensation will be awarded or paid, on account of the Senior

basis for such Loan Documentation, which will be drafted by, and will be in form

that during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Borrower would be able to
operate within a 25% adverse variance of each of the Total Cash Receipts
