and the First Amendment the existence of the Indebtedness described in paragraphs 2 and 3 of Exhibit A as

the closing of the Revolving Credit Agreement and the First Amendment the existence of the Lien described in
paragraph 1 of Exhibit A as required by Section 3.05(a) of the Credit Agreement (the "Existing Defaults" and the
covenants described in this paragraph, herein the "Violated Covenants"), and, in accordance with the Credit
Agreement, the Borrower has requested that the Lender waive the Existing Defaults; and

         WHEREAS, the Borrower has further requested that the Lender amend certain provisions of the Credit
Agreement, and, subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein, the Lender is willing to amend the
Credit Agreement as herein set forth.

         extent such amount is not characterized as liabilities in accordance with GAAP shall not be
         included in "Total Indebtedness."
