                      The Borrower and Guarantors have each requested that Agent and Lenders continue to forbear from the exercise of Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and remedies available under the Credit Agreement as a result of the occurrence of the Specified Events of Default. Agent and Requisite Lenders are willing to grant such forbearance upon the terms and subject to the
            conditions and limitations set forth in this Amendment and the Forbearance Agreement.


            A.      Forbearance.


                      1.          Agent’s and Lenders’ forbearance provided for in the Forbearance Agreement (as amended by this Amendment) shall be effective only with respect to the Specified Events of Default and shall automatically terminate and cease to be of force and effect, and Agent and Lenders may exercise all of their
            respective rights and remedies as may be available under the Credit Agreement and under applicable law, upon or after the occurrence of (a) any other Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document (other than the Specified Events of Default and as set forth in Section A3 of this Amendment), (b) a default under the terms of this Agreement, (c) the commencement by Second Lien Collateral Agent of a Standstill Period (as such terms are defined in the
            Intercreditor Agreement), (d) the commencement by the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder (as such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) of any case, action, claim, lawsuit, demand, investigation or other proceeding against any of the Credit Parties (including without limitation the commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (as such terms are defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) against any of the Credit Parties), or the taking of any action
            by the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder in a manner inconsistent with, or in violation of, the Intercreditor Agreement, or (e) the payment by any Credit Party to any Second Lien Claimholder of any interest, principal, expenses, costs or any other amounts in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate (as determined on a cumulative basis from and after the date hereof and as of any date of determination) under any Second Lien Loan Document or any other document, instrument or
            agreement executed and/or delivered in connection therewith (individually a “Forbearance Default” and, collectively, the “Forbearance Defaults”).


                      2.          For the period commencing on September 29, 2008 and ending on November 27, 2008, Borrower and Agent acknowledge and agree that no new Reserves were established nor were any existing Reserves (including the Daily Reserve) increased above the amount of such Reserves which were in effect as of September 29,
            2008.


                      3.          During the period commencing on the Amendment Effective Date and ending on January 14, 2009, and provided that no Forbearance Default has occurred and that the terms and conditions of this Amendment are satisfied, Agent and Requisite Lenders agree to waive the requirements set forth in (x) clauses (a)

            Party hereby ratifies and confirms each of the Loan Documents to which such Credit Party is party to and the rights granted thereunder in favor of Agent and the Lenders, including its liability for the Obligations as defined therein.


                      3.          This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of each of Borrower and the other Credit Parties.


                      4.          No Default or Event of Default (other than the Specified Events of Default) has occurred and is continuing after giving effect to the Forbearance Agreement and this Amendment.


                      5.          The representations and warranties of Borrower and the other Credit Parties contained in the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be true and correct on and as of the date hereof with the same effect as if such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such date, except that any
            such representation or warranty which is expressly made only as of a specified date need be true only as of such date.


                      6.          As of December 23, 2008, the aggregate amount of liabilities of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties for unpaid payroll taxes equals $1,616,670.51, consisting of (i) $1,604,097.22 in liabilities for unpaid payroll taxes arising out of payroll paid prior to December

            G.      Other Representations, Warranties and Covenants.


                      1.          The Credit Parties and the Lenders hereby confirm that the decision by Agent and the Lenders to grant the forbearance as outlined in the Forbearance Agreement as amended by this Amendment is not and shall not be deemed to constitute an undertaking by Agent and the Lenders to forbear or refrain from exercising
            any and all rights and remedies available to them under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and under applicable law upon the occurrence of any Forbearance Default. Additionally, notwithstanding the agreement of Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Amendment, Agent and the Lenders hereby advise the Credit Parties that, except to the extent of Agent and the Lenders’ forbearance expressly referenced through the Forbearance Period specified in the Forbearance
            Agreement, Agent and Lenders require strict compliance with all of the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that Agent or the Lenders shall not be required to issue any notices otherwise required by the Credit Agreement with respect to the Specified Events of Default during the term of the Forbearance Agreement.


                      2.          Each Credit Party further acknowledges and agrees that: (a) the Specified Events of Default have occurred or will occur and continue, and shall not be deemed to have been waived, cured or eliminated, in whole or in part, by this Amendment or the Forbearance Agreement, and Agent and the Lenders expressly
            reserve rights with respect to the Specified Events of Default, subject only to the terms in the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Forbearance Agreement; (b) the parties have not entered into a mutual disregard of the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or engaged in any course of dealing in variance with the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents, within the meaning of any applicable law of the
            State of New York, or otherwise; and (c) as of the date hereof, principal in the amount set forth on Schedule A attached hereto, plus accrued interest was due and owing, by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and guaranteed by the Guarantors under the Guaranties.


                      3.          Each Credit Party expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents are valid and enforceable by Agent and the Lenders and expressly reaffirms its obligations under the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents (including the Guaranties). Each Credit Party agrees that it
            shall not dispute the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents (including the Guaranties) or any of its obligations thereunder, or the validity, priority, enforceability or extent of Agent on behalf of the Lenders’ security interest in or lien against any item of Collateral under the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents.


                      4.          As further consideration to induce Agent and the Requisite Lenders to execute, deliver and perform this Amendment, each Credit Party represents and warrants that there are no claims, causes of action, suits, debts, obligations, liabilities, defenses, counterclaims, demands of any kind, character or nature
            whatsoever, fixed or contingent, which such Credit Party may have, or claim to have, against the Lenders or Agent in connection with the Credit Agreement and

            Loan Documents, and such Credit Party hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges Agent and each Lender and its respective agents, employees, officers, directors, servants, representatives, attorneys, affiliates, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all liabilities, claims, suits, debts, causes of action and the like of any kind, character or nature whatsoever, known
            or unknown, fixed or contingent, in connection with the Credit Agreement and Loan Documents, that the Credit Party may have, or claim to have, against each of the such Released Parties from the beginning of time until and through the dates of execution and delivery of this Amendment.


                      5.          Each Credit Party covenants and agrees that it will continue to pay all Charges in accordance with Section 5.2 of the Credit Agreement from and after the Amendment Effective Date, and that such Credit Party will not permit the aggregate amount of liabilities of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties
            for unpaid payroll taxes arising out of payroll paid prior to the date set forth as the “last payroll payment date” in any Borrower certification to Agent or any Lender as to the amount of outstanding payroll taxes to exceed $1,616,670.51. Furthermore, the Borrower covenants and agrees that (i) it shall use its best efforts to negotiate a settlement with the IRS with respect to any unpaid payroll taxes arising out of payroll paid prior to the Amendment Effective Date in
            form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and (ii) it shall deliver to Agent, on a weekly basis delivered on each Friday, or at such more frequent intervals as Agent may request from time to time, an update of Borrower’s settlement negotiations with the IRS with respect to such unpaid payroll taxes, accompanied by such supporting detail and documentation as shall be requested by Agent in its reasonable discretion.


                      6.          The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that on or prior to the Amendment Effective Date an Overadvance has occurred on each date set forth on Schedule B attached hereto and that non-refundable fees have accrued and are outstanding in the aggregate amount of $375,000 in accordance with Section
            1.9(e) (such fees, collectively, the “Overadvance Fee”). Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 1.9(e), Agent agrees that such Overadvance Fee shall be payable, and Borrower covenants and agrees that it will pay the Overadvance Fee, on the Commitment Termination Date.


                      7.          The Borrower covenants and agrees that it shall deliver to Agent the financial and other information (other than Borrower’s 10-Q for the Fiscal Quarter ended September 30, 2007) required by Section 4.1 (a) and clause (r) of Annex E of the Credit Agreement on or prior to February 1,
            2009.

            Period, such amendment, forbearance or other modification to the Second Lien Loan Documents shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent.


            H.      Miscellaneous.


                      1.          Except as expressly amended herein, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be unmodified and shall continue to be in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. In addition, this Amendment and the Forbearance Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any term or condition of any

Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by facsimile shall be equally as
            effective as delivery of an original Amendment.


                      4.          THIS AMENDMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS EVIDENCED HEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
