assigns, and officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys, and any
Person acting for or on behalf of, or claiming through it, hereby waives,
releases, remises and forever discharges each member of the Lender Group, each
of their respective Affiliates, and each of their respective successors in
title, past, present and future officers, directors, employees, limited
partners, general partners, investors, attorneys, assigns, subsidiaries,
shareholders, trustees, agents and other professionals and all other persons and
entities to whom any member of the Lender Group would be liable if such persons
or entities were found to be liable to Borrower (each a “Releasee” and
collectively, the “Releasees”), from any
and all past, present and future claims, suits, liens, lawsuits, adverse
consequences, amounts paid in settlement, debts, deficiencies, diminution in
value, disbursements, demands, obligations, liabilities, causes of action,
damages, losses, costs and expenses of any kind or character,  whether
based in equity, law, contract, tort, implied or express warranty, strict
liability, criminal or civil statute or common law (each a “Claim” and
collectively, the “Claims”), whether
known or unknown, fixed or contingent, direct, indirect, or derivative, asserted
or unasserted, matured or unmatured, foreseen or unforseen, past or present,
liquidated or unliquidated, suspected or unsuspected, which Borrower ever had
from the beginning of the world to the date hereof, now has, or might hereafter
have against any such Releasee which relates, directly or indirectly to the
Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or to any acts or omissions of any
such Releasee with respect to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document,
or to the lender-borrower relationship evidenced by the Loan
Documents.  As to each and every Claim released hereunder, Borrower
hereby represents that it has received the advice of legal counsel with regard
to the releases contained herein, and having been so advised, specifically
waives the benefit of the provisions of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of
California which provides as follows:

     

    “A
GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH A CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR
SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF
KNOWN BY HIM, MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE
DEBTOR.”

     

    (b) As to
each and every Claim released hereunder, Borrower also waives the benefit of
each other similar provision of applicable federal or state law, if any,
pertaining to general releases after having been advised by its legal counsel
with respect thereto.

     

    (c) Borrower
acknowledges that it may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition
to those now known or believed to be true with respect to such Claims and agrees
that this instrument shall be and remain effective in all respects
notwithstanding any such differences or additional facts.  Borrower
understands, acknowledges and agrees that the release set forth above may be
pleaded as a full and complete defense and may be used as a basis for an
injunction against any action, suit or other proceeding which may be instituted,
prosecuted or attempted in breach of the provisions of such
release.

     

    (d) Borrower,
for itself and on behalf of its successors, assigns, and officers, directors,
employees, agents and attorneys, and any Person acting for or on behalf of, or
claiming through it, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably,
covenants and agrees with and in favor of each Releasee above that it will not
sue (at law, in equity, in any regulatory proceeding or otherwise) any Releasee
on the basis of any claim released, remised and discharged by such Person
pursuant to the above release.  Borrower further agrees that it shall
not dispute the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents or any of its obligations thereunder, or the validity,
priority, enforceability or the extent of Agent’s Lien on any item of Collateral
under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents.  If Borrower
or any of its successors, assigns, or officers, directors, employees, agents or
attorneys, or any Person acting for or on behalf of, or claiming through them
violate the foregoing covenant, such Person, for itself and its successors,
assigns and legal representatives, agrees to pay, in addition to such other
damages as any Releasee may sustain as a result of such violation, all
attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by such Releasee as a result of such
violation.

     

    11. Reaffirmation of
Obligations.  Borrower hereby reaffirms and its obligations
under each Loan Document to which it is a party.  Borrower hereby
further ratifies and reaffirms the validity and enforceability of all of the
Liens heretofore granted, pursuant to and in connection with the Security
Agreement or any other Loan Document, to Agent, as collateral security for the
obligations under the Loan Documents in accordance with their respective terms,
and acknowledges that all of such Liens, and all Collateral heretofore pledged
as security for such obligations, continue to be and remain Collateral for such
obligations from and after the date hereof.

     

    12. Effect on Loan
Documents.

     

    (a) The
Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement, each as amended hereby, and each of
the other Loan Documents shall be and remain in full force and effect in

all respects.  The execution, delivery, and performance of this
Amendment shall not operate, except as expressly set forth herein, as a

based), shall not apply with respect to any facts or occurrences other than
those on which the same are based, shall not excuse any non-compliance with the
Loan Documents (other than as specified herein), and shall not operate as a

force and effect.  Except as provided herein, the execution, delivery
and performance of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of or as an
amendment of, any right, power or remedy of any member of the Lender Group in
effect prior to the date hereof.  The amendments set forth herein are
limited to the specifics hereof and shall neither excuse any future
non-compliance with the Credit Agreement or the Security Agreement, nor operate
as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default.  To the extent any
terms or provisions of this Amendment conflict with those of the Credit
Agreement, the Security Agreement or other Loan Documents, the terms and
provisions of this Amendment shall control.

     

    (b) Upon and
after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Credit
Agreement and the Security Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “herein”,
“hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement or the
Security Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to “the
Credit Agreement”, “the Security Agreement”, “thereunder”, “therein”, “thereof”
or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement or the Security
Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement or the Security
Agreement, as applicable, as modified and amended hereby.

     

    (c) To the
extent that any terms and conditions in any of the Loan Documents shall
contradict or be in conflict with any terms or conditions of the Credit
Agreement, after giving effect to this Amendment, such terms and conditions are
hereby deemed modified or amended accordingly to reflect the terms and
conditions of the Credit Agreement as modified or amended hereby.

     

    (d) This
Amendment is a Loan Document.

     

    (e) Unless
the context of this Amendment clearly requires otherwise, references to the
plural include the singular, references to the singular include the plural, the
terms “includes” and “including” are not limiting, and the term “or” has, except
where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase
“and/or”.

     

    13. Ratification.  Borrower
hereby restates, ratifies and reaffirms each and every term and condition set
forth in the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents effect as of the date
hereof and as amended hereby.

     

    14. Entire
Agreement.  This Amendment, and terms and provisions hereof,
the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire
understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous
amendments or understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether
express or implied, oral or written.

     

    15. Integration.  This
Amendment, together with the other Loan Documents, incorporates all negotiations
of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and is the final
expression and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof.

     

    16. Amendments.  This
Amendment cannot be altered, amended, changed or modified in any respect or
particular unless each such alteration, amendment, change or modification shall
have been agreed to by each of the parties and reduced to writing in its
entirety and signed and delivered by Borrower and the Required
Lenders.

     

    17. Counterpart
Execution.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts, all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same
instrument, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Amendment by signing
any such counterpart.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of this
Amendment by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be
equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this
Amendment.  Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this
Amendment by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall
deliver an original executed counterpart of this Amendment, but the failure to
deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity,
enforceability, and binding effect of this Amendment.

     

    18. Severability.  In
case any provision in this Amendment shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
such provision shall be severable from the remainder of this Amendment and the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby.
