Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings accorded to them in the Loan Agreement; provided that hereinafter all indebtedness owing by Borrower to Bank under the Loan Agreement shall be referred to as the “Indebtedness.”

2.                                       DESCRIPTION OF COLLATERAL.  Repayment of the Indebtedness is secured by the Collateral as described in the Loan Agreement and herein.  Hereinafter, all documents securing repayment of the Indebtedness, together with all other documents evidencing or securing the Indebtedness, shall be referred to as the “Existing Loan Documents.”

3.                                       DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES TO TERMS OF EXISTING LOAN DOCUMENTS.

3.1                                 Deposits.

(a)  Bank hereby waives Borrower’s failure to comply with the deposit requirement set forth in Section 6.6 of the Loan Agreement for the quarter ended December 31, 2003.  The foregoing waiver is effective solely as to this covenant for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 and shall not constitute a continuing waiver by Bank of its rights under Section 6.6 of the Loan Agreement or elsewhere in the Existing Loan Documents.  Without limiting the foregoing, Bank’s waiver in this Section 3.1 shall not serve as a waiver of Borrower’s failure to comply with the provisions of said Section 6.6 as of any subsequent date.

(b).  Effective as of January 1, 2004, Section 6.6 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended to read in full as follows:

6.6                                 Deposits.

Borrower will at all times, until all Obligations are paid in full, maintain in accounts with Bank and its Affiliates an amount equal to at least $30,000,000 of Borrower’s Unrestricted Cash, net of all borrowings under this Agreement.  In addition, Borrower will at all times maintain an operating account with Bank.

3.2                                 Financial Covenants.  Bank hereby waives Borrower’s failure to comply with the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.7(a)(ii) of the Loan Agreement for the quarter ended December 31, 2003.  The foregoing waiver is effective solely as to this covenant for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 and shall not constitute a continuing waiver by Bank of its rights under Section 6.7(a)(ii) of the Loan Agreement or elsewhere in the Existing Loan Documents.  Without limiting the foregoing, Bank’s waiver in this Section 3.2 shall not serve as a waiver of Borrower’s failure to comply with the provisions of said Section 6.7(a)(ii) as of the end of any future quarter.

3.3                                 Amended Exhibit C.  Exhibit C of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended to read in full as attached hereto as Attachment No. 1.

4.                                       CONSISTENT CHANGES.  The Existing Loan Documents are hereby amended wherever necessary to reflect the changes described in Section 3 hereof.

5.                                       NO DEFENSES OF BORROWER.  Borrower agrees that, as of the date hereof, it has no defenses against the obligations to pay any amounts of the Indebtedness.

6.                                       CONTINUING VALIDITY.  Borrower understands and agrees that in modifying the Existing Loan Documents, Bank is relying upon Borrower’s representations, warranties and agreements, all as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents.  Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Fourth Modification, the terms of the Existing Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect, and hereafter the Existing Loan Documents shall include the terms of this Fourth Modification as if set forth therein in full.  Bank’s agreement to modifications to the Existing Loan Documents pursuant to this Fourth Modification shall in no way obligate Bank to make any future modifications to the Existing Loan Documents.  Nothing in this Fourth Modification shall constitute a satisfaction of the Indebtedness or any portion thereof.  It is the intention of Bank and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Bank in writing, and no maker, endorser or guarantor will be released by virtue of this Fourth Modification.  The terms of this paragraph apply not only to this Fourth Modification, but also to all subsequent loan modification agreements.

7.                                       CONDITION PRECEDENT TO EFFECTIVENESS.  Before this Fourth Modification, and Bank’s and Borrower’s respective rights and obligations hereunder, shall be effective Borrower shall have paid to Bank all Bank Expenses incurred by Bank in connection with its entering into this Fourth Modification.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused its duly authorized representative to execute and deliver this Fourth Modification as of the date first set forth above.
