WHEREAS, the Borrower acknowledges that the Loan Parties will not be able to deliver the following within the time periods prescribed in the Credit Agreement: (i) the financial statements required under Section 7.01(a) of the Credit Agreement, with respect to fiscal year 2009 (ended November 1, 2009), (ii) the accompanying certificate of their independent certified public accountants required under Section 7.02(a) of the Credit Agreement for such fiscal year and (iii) the accompanying Compliance Certificate required under Section 7.02(b) of the Credit Agreement for such fiscal year (collectively, the "2009 Financial Statement Deliverables");

WHEREAS, the parties hereto have agreed (a) to temporarily extend the deadline for the Loan Parties to deliver the 2009 Financial Statement Deliverables until the completion of the Restatement Considerations and the filing of the Borrower's applicable financial statements with the SEC, (b) to temporarily disregard the impact of the Restatement Considerations on (i) the computation of the financial covenants set forth in Section 8.11 of the Credit Agreement and (ii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 6.05(a) and 6.05(b) of the Credit Agreement and (c) to amend the Credit Agreement as set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Definitions. Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned in the Credit Agreement.

2. Reaffirmation of Existing Debt. The Loan Parties acknowledge and confirm as of the date hereof (a) that the Borrower's obligation to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and reimburse the L/C Issuer for any drawing on a Letter of Credit is unconditional and not subject to any

offsets, defenses or counterclaims, (b) that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have performed fully all of their respective obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (c) by entering into this Agreement, the Lenders do not waive or release (except as specifically provided in this Agreement) any term or condition of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of their rights or remedies under such Loan Documents or applicable law or any of the obligations of any Loan Party thereunder.

3. Temporary Extension.

(a) The Lenders hereby agree to temporarily extend the deadline for delivery of the 2009 Financial Statement Deliverables until the Extension Date (defined below).

(b) During the Extension Period, (i) the Lenders hereby agree to temporarily disregard the impact, if any, of the Restatement Considerations on (A) the computation of the financial covenants set forth in Section 8.11 of the Credit Agreement and (B) the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 6.05(a) and 6.05(b) of the Credit Agreement and (ii) the Borrower shall continue to deliver company-prepared financial statements required pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement disregarding the impact of the Restatement Considerations, together with the accompanying Compliance Certificates (with the financial covenants calculated without giving effect to the Restatement Considerations).

(c) The Loan Parties acknowledge that but for the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Required Lenders, an Event of Default would exist, upon expiration of the temporary extension permitted under the Second Amendment (as defined below), as a result of the failure to timely deliver the 2009 Financial Statement Deliverables and that the Lenders would have no obligation to make additional Credit Extensions to the Borrower.
