W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Borrower and TA Debt Fund are parties to that certain
Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 2, 2004, by and among
Borrower and the Noteholders and Guarantors named therein (as the same may be
from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the "AGREEMENT";
capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the definitions provided
therefor in the Agreement);
WHEREAS, Borrower is in breach of Section 7.14.6 of the Agreement as
Borrower has made Capital Expenditures in excess of $5,000,000 during Fiscal
Year 2005, and such breach constitutes an Event of Default under Section 8.1.4
of the Agreement (the "CAPITAL EXPENDITURE EVENT OF DEFAULT");
WHEREAS, Borrower, Agent, and Senior Lenders are parties to the Senior
Credit Agreement;
WHEREAS, Borrower is in breach of Section 7.14.4 of the Senior Credit
Agreement as Borrower has made Capital Expenditures in excess of $3,900,000
during Fiscal Year 2005, and such breach constitutes an Event of Default under
Section 8.1.1 of the Senior Credit Agreement (the "SENIOR CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
EVENT OF DEFAULT");
WHEREAS, Borrower is in breach of Section 2.10.2(a)(iii) of the Senior
Credit Agreement as the Borrower has failed to make its scheduled mandatory
prepayment with respect to Excess Cash Flow for the Fiscal Year ending December
31, 2004, and such breach constitutes an Event of Default under Section 8.1.1 of
the Senior Credit Agreement (the "SENIOR PREPAYMENT EVENT OF DEFAULT");
WHEREAS, the occurrence of the Senior Capital Expenditure Event of
Default and the Senior Prepayment Event of Default each constitute an Event of
Default under Section 8.1.2 of the Agreement (collectively, the "EXISTING SENIOR
EVENTS OF DEFAULT");
WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that Agent and Senior Lenders waive

WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that Agent and Senior Lenders amend
and restate Section 7.14.4 of the Senior Credit Agreement to increase the
Capital Expenditures limitation for each Fiscal Year through December 31, 2009;
WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that TA Debt Fund amend and restate
Section 7.14.6 of the Agreement to provide a corresponding increase in the
Capital Expenditures limitation for each Fiscal Year through December 31, 2009
so as to preserve any "cushion" between the covenant levels contained in the
Senior Credit Agreement and the Agreement;
WHEREAS, TA Debt Fund holds greater than fifty percent (50%) in
principal amount of all Notes currently outstanding, thereby allowing TA Debt
Fund to consent to a waiver of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.2 of
the Agreement and an amendment of the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2 thereof;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and
agreements set forth in the Agreement and this Consent, and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. WAIVER. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Section 3 below, and in reliance on the representations set forth in Section 4
below, the Existing Events of Default are hereby waived. This is a limited
waiver and shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default
(other than the Existing Events of Default) or any future breach of the
Agreement or any of the other Subordinated Notes Documents or any other
requirement of any provision of the Agreement or any other Subordinated Notes
Documents.
2. AMENDMENT. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth
in Section 3 below, and in reliance on the representations set forth in Section
4 below, Section 7.14.6 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, as
follows:
"7.14.6 CAPITAL EXPENDITURES.
Not permit the aggregate amount of all Capital Expenditures made by
Borrower and the Subsidiaries in any Fiscal Year to exceed the applicable amount
set forth below for such Fiscal Year:
Capital
Fiscal Year Ending Expenditures

If Borrower does not utilize the entire amount of Capital Expenditures permitted
in any Fiscal Year, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists or would be
caused thereby, Borrower may carry forward to the immediately succeeding Fiscal
Year only, 50% of such unutilized amount (with Capital Expenditures made by
Borrower in such succeeding Fiscal Year applied last to such unutilized
amount)."
