2.Forbearance.
 
(a) Acknowledgment of Indebtedness. Borrowers hereby acknowledge, confirm and agree that as of the date hereof and prior to taking into account any Additional Term Loans B (as hereinafter defined), Borrowers are indebted to Lenders in respect of: (i) the Revolving Credit Loan in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of $5,512,500.00 plus accrued and unpaid interest; (ii) the Term Loans A in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of $12,000,000.00, plus accrued and unpaid interest; (iii) the Term Loans B (including, without limitation, certain Additional Term Loans B made prior to the date hereof) in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of $36,040,981, plus accrued and unpaid interest and (iv) all legal and other fees in connection with this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and/or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and expenses of Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge LLP, special counsel to Administrative Agent, and Paul Hastings, special counsel to Collateral Agent, in each case accrued to the date hereof. The Revolving Credit Loan, the Term Loans A and the Term Loans B, together with interest accrued and accruing thereon, and fees, costs, expenses and other charges now or hereafter payable by Borrowers to Lender, are unconditionally owing by Borrowers, without offset, defense or counterclaim of any kind, nature or description whatsoever.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the date of closing of this Agreement (the "Second Amendment Closing Date"), the Term Loan B Lenders identified on Exhibit C attached hereto (collectively, the "Additional Term Loan B Lenders"), provided no Termination Event (as hereinafter defined) has occurred, shall make Additional Term Loans B to Borrowers upon request by Borrowers in accordance with and subject to the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby. Such Additional Term Loans B shall be deemed to be Term Loans B as defined in, and subject to the terms of, the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, provisions as to the accrual and payment of interest and principal) and secured under related Security Documents, as amended.

3.Forbearance in Respect of Events of Default.
 
(a) Acknowledgement of Defaults. Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that the Existing Defaults have occurred as of the date hereof and will be continuing, which Existing Defaults constitute Events of Default.

- 3 -

 
(b) Forbearance.
 
(i) In reliance upon the representations, warranties and covenants of Borrowers contained in this Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any documents or instruments executed in connection herewith, Lender Group agrees to forbear from exercising, or causing the exercise of, its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents or applicable law in respect of or arising out of (i) the Existing Defaults, (ii) a Default or Event of Default arising pursuant to Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement, or (iii) any other Default or Event of Default (other than any of the ones described in Exhibit D attached hereto and made a part hereof (each such excluded Default or Event of Default, individually, a "Specified Default," and collectively, the "Specified Defaults")) subject to the conditions contained herein for the period (the "Forbearance Period") commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earliest to occur of: (i) May 5, 2008, or (ii) the occurrence of a Termination Event (as hereinafter defined).
 
(ii) Upon the termination of the Forbearance Period, the agreement of Lender Group to forbear shall automatically and without further action terminate and be of no force and effect; it being expressly agreed that the effect of such termination will be to permit Lender Group to exercise, or cause the exercise of, any rights and remedies available to it, if any, immediately, without any further notice, passage of time or forbearance of any kind.
 
(iii) For the purpose of this Agreement, "Termination Event" shall have the meaning given to such term in that certain Side Letter Agreement dated as of February 13, 2008, as amended by a certain First Amendment to Side Letter Agreement dated as of March 19, 2008, and a certain Second Amendment to Side Letter Agreement of even date herewith by and among Borrowers, Agents and Lenders (as so amended, the "Side Letter Agreement").
 
(c) No Waivers; Reservation of Rights.
 
(i) Lender Group has not waived, and is not waiving, by the execution of this Agreement, the funding of Additional Term Loans B, or the acceptance of any payments hereunder or under the Credit Agreement, the Existing Defaults, or any Default, Event of Default or Termination Event which has occurred or may hereafter occur (whether the same or similar to the Existing Defaults, the Specified Defaults or otherwise), and Lender Group has not agreed to forbear with respect to any of its rights or remedies concerning any Default or Event of Default (other than, during the Forbearance Period, the Existing Defaults and any other Default or Event of Default (other than any Specified Defaults) to the extent expressly set forth herein), which may have occurred or is continuing as of the date hereof or which may occur after the date hereof.

- 4 -


(ii) Subject to Section 3(b) above (solely with respect to the Existing Defaults and any other Default or Event of Default other than any Specified Defaults), Lender Group and each Agent reserves the right, in its discretion, to exercise, or cause the exercise of, any or all of their rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable law as a result of the Existing Defaults, or any other Default or Event of Default (other than any Specified Defaults) which has occurred or may hereafter occur.
 
(iii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrowers will not claim that any prior action or course of conduct by Lender Group or any Agent constitutes an agreement or obligation to continue such action or course of conduct in the future. Each of Borrowers acknowledges that Lender Group or any Agent has made no commitment as to: (i) future funding of the Revolving Credit Loan or Additional Term Loans B, and (ii) how or whether the Existing Defaults or any other Default or Event of Default will be resolved upon termination or expiration of the Forbearance Period.
 
(iv) Except as expressly provided herein, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an amendment to the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document. The Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are in full force and effect, and shall remain in full force and effect unless and until an agreement modifying the Credit Agreement or such other Loan Document is executed and delivered by the applicable parties, and then only to the extent such agreement actually modifies such documents. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement shall constitute a Loan Document for all purposes.
 
4. Additional Definitions. The following new definitions are hereby added to Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement:
 
"Additional Amount: from May 6, 2008 through June 5, 2008, an amount equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%), such Additional Amount to increase thereafter by an additional one-half of one percent (0.5%) on each monthly anniversary of May 6, 2008."

The Additional Term Loans B shall constitute Term Loans B for all purposes of the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby. The Additional Term Loan B Lenders' respective agreements to make Additional Term Loans B (including Additional Term Loans B made prior to the date hereof pursuant to the First Amendment) shall not exceed their respective limits set forth in Exhibit C hereto.

(ii) Borrowers may request Additional Term Loans B during the Forbearance Period within the limits of the Additional Term Loans B Amount; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not have the right to re-borrow principal amounts repaid or prepaid in respect to the Additional Term Loans B. All Additional Term Loans B used for the purposes described in clause (C) below shall be made by the Additional Term Loans B Lenders on the second (2nd) Business Day of each week provided Borrowers maintain a minimum cumulative net cash flow equal to the sum of the "Net Change" for each week (with such calculation beginning with the week of April 14, 2008) provided by Borrowers to Administrative Agent on the first (1st) Business Day of such week pursuant to Section IV of the Side Letter Agreement. The amount of the Additional Term Loans B made in any week shall be equal to the amount of (a) the cash need shown for such week in the "Net Change" line of the cash forecast minus (b) the aggregate amount of any cash or cash equivalents of the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries on the immediately preceding Business Day in excess of $100,000. The proceeds of Additional Term Loan B shall be used solely (A) first, on the date hereof, to fund accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans that was due and payable on April 17, 2008, (B) second, on the date hereof, to fund payment of all fees and expenses referred to in the Second New Fee Letters (as defined in Exhibit B hereto), and all fees and expenses of the Agents in closing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (C) on and after the date hereof and in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the Side Letter Agreement, the balance for Borrowers' customary working capital requirements.
 
(iii) Borrowers' right to request or receive Additional Term Loans B shall terminate upon termination or expiration of the Forbearance Period.

(y) The Additional Term Loan B PIK Interest on each Monthly Payment Date shall be paid by adding the amount of such Additional Term Loan B PIK Interest to the principal balance of the respective Term Loans B on the corresponding Monthly Payment Date.
