Borrower with certain financial accommodations.
The Borrower has requested that

Loan Agreement, and Lender is willing to do so on the terms and
conditions hereafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of
any loan or advance or grant of credit heretofore or hereafter made
to or for the account of Borrower by Lender, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:

the Loan Agreement.

and acknowledge that (a) as of December 13, 2005, there is
presently due and owing to Lender the principal amounts of $
2,860,142.93 with respect to
Revolving Facility, $ 4,375,000.01
with respect to Term Loan A and $ 5,599,999.99 with respect to Term Loan B, in
each case together with interest (including, without limitation,

defense, offset or counterclaim of any kind or nature whatsoever,
and (c) the Loan Documents are and shall continue to be legal,
valid and binding obligations and agreements of Borrower
enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.
3. Waiver. Subject to the satisfaction of
conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 below, Lender hereby
waives the Events of Default existing pursuant to (i) Section
8.1(c) of the Loan Agreement as a result of Borrower’s
failure to comply (without giving effect to any amendments thereto
in this Amendment No. 1) with Paragraph 1 of Annex 1 of the Loan
Agreement as a result of Borrower’s failure to maintain the
Minimum EBITDA required for the one month period ending September
30, 2005 and the two month period ending October 31, 2005, so long
as Borrower’s EBITDA for such periods was not less than
$470,000 and $340,000, respectively; (ii) Section 8.1(b) of the
Loan Agreement as a result of Borrower’s failure to comply
with Sections 5.4, 5.11, 5.18 and 5.20(b) of the Loan Agreement
solely due to Borrower maintaining Inventory at locations in
violation of the Loan Agreement and not disclosed to Lender, so
long as each of the events giving rise to such Defaults are
complied with not later than the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date and
(iii) Section 8.1(c) of the Loan Agreement as a result of
Borrower’s failure to comply with (x) Section 2.5 solely with
respect to Borrower’s failure to ensure that all collections
are delivered to the appropriate Lockbox Account, and (y) Sections
6.16, 7.8 and 7.10(b) of the Loan Agreement solely with respect to
Borrower maintaining Inventory at locations in violation of the
Loan Agreement and not disclosed to Lender, so long as each of the
events giving rise to the foregoing Defaults are complied with not
later than the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date. Lender’s
election not to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the
aforementioned Events of Default does not limit in any manner
whatsoever Borrower’s obligation to comply with, and
Lender’s right to insist on Borrower’s compliance with,
each and every term of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, including without limitation, the aforementioned
Sections in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, and such waivers shall
not preclude the future exercise of any right, power, or privilege
available to Lender whether under the Loan Agreement, the other
Loan Documents or otherwise.
