amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
"Loan Agreement") pursuant to which Lender provides the Borrowers with certain
financial accommodations.

         The Borrowers have violated certain covenants and have requested Lender
waive the resulting Events of Default and Lender is willing to do so in
connection with making certain amendments to the Loan Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of any loan or advance or grant of
credit heretofore or hereafter made to or for the account of Borrowers 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:

1. Definitions. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined or amended herein
shall have the meanings given to them in the Loan Agreement.

2. Waivers. Subject to the satisfaction of Section 4 below, Lender hereby waives
the Event of Default which has occurred as a result Borrowers' non-compliance
with (i) Section 12(o) with respect to the fiscal quarter ended September 30,
2004 due to Borrowers' failure to maintain its required Net Worth at the end of
such fiscal quarter, (ii) Section 12(p) with respect to the fiscal quarter
ending September 30, 2004 due to Borrowers' failure to maintain the requisite
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio level for the four fiscal quarters then ended and
(iii) Section 12(x) due to Borrowers' failure to deliver a copy of a
consultant's report to Lender by September 30, 2004. Notwithstanding the
