Waiver Letter, dated June 11, 2007


 Exhibit 10.9 
 To: Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P. as Priority Agent 
 11 June 2007 
 Subject: Credit agreement dated 8 December 2006 between, amongst others, BST US Holdings, Inc. as Parent, BST Safety Textiles Acquisition GmbH as Original Borrower,
Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P. and UBS Securities LLC as Mandated Lead Arrangers, Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P. as Priority Agent and UBS AG, Stamford Branch as Second Lien Agent as amended from time to time (the “Original Term and
Revolving Facilities Agreement”). 
  

	1.	Interpretation 

 In this letter, words and
expressions defined in the Original Term and Revolving Facilities Agreement shall, unless otherwise defined herein, have the same meaning when used herein and the provisions of Clause 1.2 (Construction) of the Original Term and Revolving
Facilities Agreement shall also apply in the interpretation hereof as if expressly set out herein with each reference to the “Agreement” being deemed to be a reference to this Agreement. 
  

	2.	Extension of time period for the delivery of financial statements 

 Pursuant to clause 25.1(a) of the Original Term and Revolving Facilities Agreement, the Parent, within 120 days after the end of each of its Financial Years, is required to supply to the Agents its audited
consolidated financial statements for that Financial Year and the audited consolidated financial statements of any other member of the BST Group for that Financial Year if requested by the Agents (acting reasonably). Pursuant to a waiver letter
dated 8 March 2007, the deadline was extended to 31 May 2007. The Parent has been and continues to be diligently pursuing this process but requests an extension until 30 July 2007. 
  

	3.	Amendment to Interest Cover covenant 

 Due to an
administrative oversight, it transpires that while the interest cover covenant for the Relevant Period ending on 31 March 2007 is met when Consolidated Total Net Finance Charges is calculated on an actual last twelve month
(“LTM”) basis, the covenant is not met when Consolidated Total Net Finance Charges is calculated on an annualised basis. The Parent would therefore like to have Consolidated Total Net Finance Charges calculated on an actual LTM
basis as was in any event going to be the case going forward from 30 September 2007. Accordingly, the Parent requests that the following amendment be made to the Original Term and Revolving Facilities Agreement and that any breach of Clause
26.2 (a) (Interest Cover) for the Relevant Period ending 31 March 2007 be hereby waived. 
 With effect from the date of
this letter, the Original Term and Revolving Facilities Agreement shall be amended by deleting Clause 26.3 (a) (A) (Financial testing). 
  







	4.	Cost and expenses 

 Clause 22 (Fees and
Expenses) of the Original Term and Revolving Facilities Agreement shall be deemed to be incorporated in this Agreement as if set out herein. In addition the Parent agrees to pay a fee to each Lender that consents to the extension and amendment
requested in this letter by no later than 5 p.m. EDT on Monday 11 June 2007. Such fee shall be equal to 0.25 per cent. of that consenting Lender’s Commitment and shall be payable within 5 Business Days of the date of this letter.

  

	5.	Miscellaneous 

 Clauses 41 (Counterparts),
42 (Governing Law) and 43 (Enforcement) of the Original Term and Revolving Facilities Agreement shall be deemed incorporated in this letter (with such conforming amendments as the context requires) as if set out herein. 
  

	6.	Finance Document
