loans in the aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million subject

retainers of a financial advisor and counsel for the Agent, and
the Lenders agreed to waive any default or event of default (no

additional loans under the Multicurrency Facility Agreement
without the prior written consent of the Agent (acting upon the
instruction of all the Lenders following unanimous consent). In
