Boyds Collection, Ltd. (the "Company") entered into a waiver
agreement (the "Waiver") in connection with the Credit Agreement
dated as of February 23, 2005 (as it may have been heretofore
amended, the "Credit Agreement") by and between D.E. Shaw Laminar

L/C Issuer and administrative agent. D.E. Shaw Laminar Portfolios,
L.L.C. became a Lender under the Credit Agreement pursuant to
assignment agreements. The Lenders believe, and the Company
confirms, that events of default have occurred under the Credit
Agreement and are continuing, or will occur at some time in the
future as a result of the Company's inability to comply with the
financial covenants contained in Section 7.6 of the Credit
Agreement (collectively referred to herein as the "Existing
Defaults"). The Waiver provides for, among other things, the
Lenders' temporary forbearance from exercising remedies on account
of such Existing Defaults. No separate cash consideration was paid
by the Company to the Lenders in consideration for the Waiver,
however, pursuant to the terms of the Waiver, future interest will
accrue at the default rate under the Credit Agreement. The Company
remains in discussions with the Lenders regarding a comprehensive
plan to modify or otherwise restructure the Company's existing debt
obligations. About The Boyds Collection, Ltd. The Boyds Collection,
