satisfied in a timely manner all of its obligations to such Loan Party and its

attorneys' fees, suits, demands, liabilities, actions, proceedings and causes of
action, in each case, whether known or unknown, contingent or fixed, direct or
indirect, and of whatever nature or description, and whether in law or in
equity, under contract, tort, statute or otherwise, which any Releasor has
heretofore had or now or hereafter can, shall or may have against any Released
Party by reason of any act, omission or thing whatsoever done or omitted to be
done on or prior to the Waiver Effective Date arising out of, connected with or
related in any way to this Waiver and Consent, the Financing Agreement or any
other Loan Document, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant
thereto, or the agreements of any Agent or any Lender contained therein, or the

Date.
8. Indemnity and
Expenses.
(a) Each of
the Loan Parties, jointly and severally, hereby agree to indemnify the Agents,
the Lenders and their respective employees, agents, members and affiliates from
and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities growing out of or

negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction.
(b) Each of
the Loan Parties, jointly and severally, hereby agree to pay to the Agents upon
demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the fees,

WAIVER AND CONSENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK.
(b) This
Waiver and Consent may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the
same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Waiver
and Consent by telefacsimile or electronic mail shall be equally as effective as
delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Waiver and
Consent.
(c) This
Waiver and Consent shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan
Party, each Agent, and each Lender, and their respective successors and
assigns.
(d) The
Borrowers and the Guarantors hereby acknowledge and agree that this Waiver and
Consent constitutes a "Loan Document" under the Financing
Agreement. Accordingly, it shall be an Event of Default under the
Financing Agreement (i) if any representation or warranty made by any Loan Party
under or in connection with this Waiver and Consent shall have been untrue,
false or misleading in any material respect when made or (ii) if any Loan Party
fails to comply with any covenant contained herein.
(e) Except as
expressly set forth herein, this Waiver and Consent is not, and shall not be
deemed to be, a waiver of, or a consent to, any Default or Event of Default now
existing or hereafter arising under the Financing Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, and the Agents and the Lenders fully and specifically reserve
any and all rights, powers, privileges and remedies under the Financing
Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to any such Default or Event
of Default.
(f) EACH OF
THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR
OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WAIVER, CONSENT AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
OR THE ACTIONS OF THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION,
PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Waiver and Consent to be
executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the day
