guarantor pursuant to the Operative Agreements and the Lessee Credit Agreement.  Each undersigned Financing Party
hereby waives the Existing Defaults and agrees not to exercise any rights or remedies available as a result of the
occurrence thereof.  The waiver specifically described in this Section 7 hereof shall not constitute and shall not
be deemed: (a) a waiver of any Default or Event of Default (whether arising as a result of the further violation of
the Violated Covenants, any other Covenant, Incorporated Covenant or otherwise) or any rights and remedies arising
as a result thereof other than those rights and remedies relating solely to the Existing Defaults; nor (b) a waiver
by the Financing Parties of their right to require the Lessee to comply with any of the covenants which were
violated.  The failure to comply with the Violated Covenants other than as contemplated by this Section 7, shall
constitute a Default or Event of Default, as applicable.

         8.       Consent and Amendment Fee.  The Lessee agrees to pay, regardless of whether the other conditions in
Section 10 hereof have been satisfied or if this Agreement is effective, on the Convertible Effective Date to the

or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a forbearance or waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of
any Financing Party under any Operative Agreement, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of
the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Operative Agreements, all of which are
ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect.  Nothing herein shall be deemed
to create a course of dealing or otherwise entitle any Credit Party to a consent, a waiver, amendment, modification
or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in any Operative
Agreement in similar or different circumstances in the future.

         10.      Conditions Precedent and Conditions Subsequent.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
