      Documents exist. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that Lender Group

(b)  **Forbearance** .




(i)  In
      reliance upon the representations, warranties and covenants of Borrowers
      contained in this Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions of this
      Agreement and any documents or instruments executed in connection herewith,
      Lender Group agrees to forbear from exercising, or causing the exercise of,
      its

      ( i )
      April
      18, 2008, or (ii) the occurrence of a Termination Event (as hereinafter

(ii)  Upon
      the
      termination of the Forbearance Period, the agreement of Lender Group to forbear
      shall automatically and without further action terminate and be of no force
      and
      effect; it being expressly agreed that the effect of such termination will
      be to
      permit Lender Group to exercise, or cause the exercise of, any rights and
      remedies available to it, if any, immediately, without any further notice,
      passage of time or forbearance of any kind.




(iii)  For
      the
      purpose of this Agreement, " **Termination
      Event** "
      shall
      have the meaning given to such term in that certain Side Letter Agreement dated

      Group has not waived, and is not waiving, by the execution of this Agreement,

      hereunder or under the Credit Agreement, the Designated Defaults or any Default,
      Event of Default or Termination Event which has occurred or may hereafter occur

      Lender Group has not agreed to forbear with respect to any of its rights or
      remedies concerning any Default or Event of Default (other than, during the
      Forbearance Period, the Designated Defaults to the extent expressly set forth
      herein), which may have occurred or is continuing as of the date hereof or
      which
      may occur after the date hereof.




(ii)  Subject
      to **Section
      3(b)** above

      reserves the right, in its discretion, to exercise, or cause the exercise of,
      any or all of their rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement, the other
      Loan Documents and applicable law as a result of the Designated Defaults or
      any
      Default or Event of Default which has occurred or may hereafter
      occur.







(iii)  Without
      limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrowers will not claim that any
      prior action or course of conduct by Lender Group or any Agent constitutes
      an
      agreement or obligation to continue such action or course of conduct in the
      future. Each of Borrowers acknowledges that Lender Group or any Agent has made
      no commitment as to: (i) future funding of the Revolving Credit Loan or
      Additional Term Loans B, and (ii) how or whether the Designated
      Defaults will be resolved upon termination or expiration of the Forbearance
      Period.




(iv)  Except
      as
      expressly provided herein, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as
      an
      amendment to the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document. The Credit
      Agreement, and the Loan Documents are in full force and effect, and shall remain
      in full force and effect unless and until an agreement modifying the Credit
      Agreement, or such other Loan Document is executed and delivered by the
      applicable parties, and then only to the extent such agreement actually modifies
      such documents. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that this
      Agreement shall constitute a Loan Document for all purposes.
