with respect to such Designated Default. The foregoing shall not be deemed a waiver of any Event of Default or

 3. Agreements in Respect of Waiver. In consideration for the agreement of the Lenders to waive the Designated Default, each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees to the following terms, conditions and
agreements: 
 3.1 Financial Covenant Restructuring. In the event that the financial covenants contained in the Loan Agreement
are not amended by February 28, 2009 in a manner acceptable to Lenders in their sole discretion (the “Covenant Restructuring Amendment”), such failure to amend the financial covenants shall constitute an Event of Default under
the Loan Agreement and the Agent and Lenders shall have all rights and remedies available to them as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that
the following items shall be conditions precedent to the effectiveness and consummation of the Covenant Restructuring Amendment: 
 (i) The Agent and Lenders shall have received the audited financial statements of Borrowers required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.2(C)(i) of the Loan Agreement and such audited financial statements shall have no material
deviations from the internally prepared annual financial statements for fiscal year 2008 previously delivered to the Agent and Lenders; and 
 (ii) The Agent and Lenders shall have received the results of the field exam that is being commenced on or around the date of this Agreement and such results shall be acceptable to Agent and Lenders in their sole
discretion.

Loan Agreement to the contrary, until such time that the Covenant Restructuring Amendment is consummated and in effect, each request for an advance under the Revolving Credit Facility by Borrowers, and all advances made in connection therewith,
shall be conditioned upon and subject to the receipt by Agent of approval of such advance from each Lender (including delivery of to Agent via electronic email). Each Lender may grant or withhold its approval in connection with any request for an
advance under the Revolving Credit Facility in such Lender’s sole discretion for any reason (or for no reason). No Lender shall be obligated to advance any amounts in connection with a request for a Revolving Loan by the Borrowers unless each
Lender has approved such request and has agreed to make an advance pursuant thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, at such time that the Covenant Restructuring Amendment is consummated and effective, this Section 3.2 shall be of no further
force and effect.

Agreement to the contrary, until such time that the Covenant Restructuring Amendment is consummated and in effect, the Issuing Lender shall be under no

the Issuing Lender available funds free and clear of all Liens in an amount equal to the face amount of such Letter of Credit prior to such the issuance of such Letter of Credit by the Issuing Lender and (ii) all other conditions to the
issuance of such Letter of Credit which are contained in the Loan Agreement have been satisfied. For the avoidance of doubt, at such time that the Covenant Restructuring Amendment is consummated and effective, this Section 3.3 shall be
of no further force and effect.
