1 Limited Waiver to Credit Agreement. The Agent and Lenders hereby waive any breach of Sections 4.1(a) and 4.1(b) of the Credit Agreement, and any Default or Event of Default as a result thereof, solely to the extent that Borrower Representative failed to deliver the (a) financial statements (and related deliveries required by Section 4.1(a)) for the fiscal months ending January 31, 2007 and February 28, 2007 and (b) the year-end audited financial statements (and related deliveries required by Section 4.1(b)) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006, in each case on or prior to the dates required to be delivered thereunder; provided, however, that Borrower Representative delivers to Agent the financial statements (and related deliveries) described in clauses (a) and (b) above on or prior to April 30, 2007.

2 Representations and Warranties. In order to induce Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Limited Waiver, each Borrower and each other Credit Party represents and warrants to Agent and each Lender (which representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this Limited Waiver), that:

(a) the execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party of this Limited Waiver has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and partnership action and this Limited Waiver is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its terms; and

(b) upon the effectiveness of this Limited Waiver, all of the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and in the other Loan Documents (other than those which speak expressly only as of an earlier date) are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of the effectiveness of this Limited Waiver after giving effect to this Limited Waiver and the transactions contemplated hereby.


3 Miscellaneous.

3.1 Effect; Ratification.

(a) Except as specifically set forth above, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

(b) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Limited Waiver shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor constitute amendment of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, except as specifically set forth herein. Upon the effectiveness of this Limited Waiver, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof, “herein” or words of similar import shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.

(c) Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that the limited waiver set forth herein is effective solely for the purposes set forth herein and that the execution and delivery by Agent of this Limited Waiver shall not be deemed (i) except as expressly provided in this Limited Waiver, to be a consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of any term or condition of the Credit Agreement or of any other Loan Document, (ii) to create a course of dealing or otherwise obligate Agent or Lenders to forbear, waive, consent or execute similar amendments under the same or similar circumstances in the future, or (iii) to amend, prejudice, relinquish or impair any right of Agent or Lenders to receive any indemnity or similar payment from any Person or entity as a result of any matter arising from or relating to this Limited Waiver.

3.2 Counterparts and Signatures by Fax. This Limited Waiver may be executed in any number of counterparts, each such counterpart constituting an original but all together one and the same instrument. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Limited Waiver by fax shall also deliver an original executed counterpart, but the failure to do so shall not affect the validity, enforceability or binding effect of this Limited Waiver.

3.3 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Limited Waiver shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

3.4 Loan Document. This Limited Waiver shall constitute a Loan Document.
