year ended March 31, 2007, which failure constituted an Event of Default under Section 8.1(c) of
the Agreement.



     H. Borrower has requested that Bank agree to waive the Events of Default described in Recitals
B, C, D, E, F and G hereinabove. Bank is willing to so waive such Events of Default, subject,
however, to the terms and conditions of this Seventh Amendment.
