defined in the Senior Subordinated 1996 Indenture or the Senior Subordinated
1997 Indenture) shall have occurred, or (v) the Board of Directors of the
Company shall not consist of a majority of Continuing Directors; as used in this
paragraph "Continuing Directors" shall mean the directors of the Company on the
Closing Date and each other director, if such other director's nomination for
election to the Board of Directors of the Company is recommended by a majority
of the then Continuing Directors; or"
3. Waiver. The Lenders hereby waive any Event of Default which may
have occurred prior to the date hereof under Section 9(j) of the Credit

modification or amendment of, any other term or condition of the Credit
Agreement (including, without limitation, the financial covenants set forth in
subsection 8.1) or any other Loan Document or to prejudice any other right or
rights which the Lenders may now have or may have in the future under or in
connection with the Credit Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements
referred to therein, as the same may be amended from time to time.
