     AMENDMENT NO. 7 AND WAIVER NO. 4 (this “ Amendment ”), dated as of March 28, 2007, to the REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of August 20, 2003, by and among HAIGHTS CROSS OPERATING COMPANY (the “ Borrower ”), the several lenders from time to time parties thereto (the “ Lenders ”), BEAR STEARNS CORPORATE LENDING, INC., as Syndication Agent (in such capacity, the “ Syndication Agent ”), and THE BANK OF NEW YORK (“ BNY ”), as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “ Administrative Agent ”) as amended by Amendment No. 1 and Waiver No. 1, dated as of January 26, 2004, Amendment No. 2 and Waiver No. 2, dated as of April 14, 2004, Amendment No. 3 and Consent No. 3, dated as of December 1, 2004, Amendment No. 4 and Waiver No. 3, dated as of March 31, 2005, Amendment No. 5 and Consent No. 4, dated as of March 31, 2005, and Amendment No. 6, dated as of March 30, 2006 (and, as further amended from time to time, the “ Credit Agreement ”).

RECITALS

     I.     Unless defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.

     II.     The Borrower has requested that the Required Lenders agree to amend Sections 7.1(a), (b), (c) and (d) of the Credit Agreement.

     III.     The Borrower has also requested that the Required Lenders waive any Event of Default which exists or may have occurred under the Credit Agreement due solely to the fact that (a) the financial statements of Holdings for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003, December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005 and each of the March 31, June 30 and September 30 quarter-end financial statements for these fiscal years, as well as the March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006 quarter-end financial statements may not have been prepared in accordance with GAAP solely to the extent that Holdings accounted in such financial statements for deferred income tax expense and related deferred income tax liabilities on a consolidated basis whereas the application of GAAP as it relates to such deferred income tax items has recently changed and is a matter beyond the control of the Borrower and (b) the financial statements of Holdings for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 may not have been prepared in accordance with GAAP solely to the extent that in such financial statements Holdings did not classify Series A Warrants issued by Holdings as liabilities or value such warrants at “fair value”, whereas such required treatment of Series A Warrants results from a deeply remote technical accounting professional ruling beyond the expectation that the Borrower would have the capability or resources to identify such an accounting rule.

     IV.     The Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders have agreed to the Borrower’s requests on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Amendment.

     Accordingly, in consideration of the covenants, conditions and agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
