“1.3. Borrowing Base and Maximum Advance. Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that in no event whatsoever shall the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender) be obligated to advance any amount or issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such advance or the issuance of such Letter of Credit would cause the aggregate amount of outstanding Loans (including Swing Line Outstandings), plus the face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, to exceed the following amounts:

All determinations regarding whether any Receivable constitutes an Eligible Billed Government Account Receivable, Eligible Billed Commercial Account Receivable, Eligible Unbilled Account Receivable or Eligible Foreign Account Receivable shall be made by the Agent, from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion.

If at any time the outstanding principal balance of Facility A (including the maximum aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, plus Swing Line Outstandings) shall exceed the lesser of (i) the Facility A Commitment Amount, and (ii) the Maximum Borrowing Base (such excess, in either case, being referred to herein as a “Borrowing Base Deficiency”), then the Borrowers

4

shall immediately make a principal payment in the amount of the Borrowing Base Deficiency.”

6. Temporary Allowance for Overadvances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 1.3 of the Loan Agreement, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and no act, event or condition shall have occurred and be continuing which with notice or the lapse of time, or both shall constitute an Event of Default, and subject to satisfaction of all other terms and conditions for advances set forth in the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers may obtain over-advances of the proceeds of Facility A as follows: (i) from the date hereof through and including December 31, 2007, up to the lesser of (a) the Facility A Commitment Amount and (b) the sum of the Maximum Borrowing Base, plus Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00); and (ii) from January 1, 2008 through and including March 31, 2008, up to the lesser of (a) the Facility A Commitment Amount and (b) the sum of the Maximum Borrowing Base, plus Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00). No overadvance shall be permitted after March 31, 2008, and any and all over-advances in excess of the limits set forth in this paragraph (including, without limitation, any over-advance existing or arising after March 31, 2008) shall constitute a Borrowing Base Deficiency, and the Borrowers shall immediately make a principal payment in the amount of such Borrowing Base Deficiency.

The Agent and the Lenders hereby (a) consent to the acquisition by the Primary Operating Company of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Simat Parent, and (b) acknowledge that such acquisition shall not count against the dollar basket with respect to any Permitted Acquisition set forth in Section 7.1(d)(ii)(H) of the Loan Agreement, subject to the terms, covenants, agreements and conditions set forth in this Modification, including without limitation, the following:
