subsection (b), the Required Banks hereby waive compliance by the Borrower with
Section 5.05 of the Credit Agreement, and any Default arising from its failure

          with the proceeds of the Loans.

          (c) The waiver granted pursuant to subsection (a) shall be limited

Default arising under, any provision of the Credit Agreement except Section 5.05
and

5.05 at any time after such waiver ceases to be effective. Such waiver shall

ceases to be met.
