In addition, under the terms of the First Amendment, the Borrowers have agreed to retain, for the duration of the Forbearance Period, a turnaround consultant (the "Consultant") acceptable to Agent and the Lenders, and with a scope of duties acceptable to Agent and the Lenders. The Consultant is to be retained to provide a turnaround or exit plan, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, by October 15, 2012 (or such later date as may be permitted by Agent in its sole discretion) and services as are reasonably necessary to facilitate Borrowers' ability to operate in compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

In addition, under the terms of the First Amendment, during the Forbearance Period and subject to the other conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement and the First Amendment, Lenders may, in their sole and absolute discretion, make revolving advances to Borrowers in such portions and at the times set forth in the Credit Agreement, which advances will bear interest at the default rate of interest. In consideration of the First Amendment, Borrowers agreed to pay the Lenders an amendment fee of $35,000.
