RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent are parties to the Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of February 26, 2008, as amended by the Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of April 17, 2008, by and among the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, and as amended by the Second Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of July 29, 2008, by and among the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (as further amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified through the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”).  Capitalized terms defined in the Credit Agreement and undefined herein shall have the same defined meanings when such terms are used in this Waiver and Amendment;

WHEREAS, the Borrower is contemplating:  (i) creating two new Subsidiaries:  (a) JTH Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which would initially be a direct, wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Borrower (the “New Parent”), and (b) Liberty Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which would initially be a direct, wholly-owned Subsidiary of the New Parent (the “Merger Sub” and, together with the New Parent, collectively, the “New Subsidiaries”); (ii) causing the New Subsidiaries to comply with the applicable terms of the Credit Agreement, including, but not limited to, entering into a Subsidiary Guaranty Supplement and Security Agreement and providing such other documentation as required by Section 5.11 and Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement; (iii) merging with and into the Merger Sub after which the Borrower would be the surviving entity (as permitted by Section 7.3(i) of the Credit Agreement) and the Merger Sub would cease to exist (the “Merger”); (iv) after the Merger has been completed, causing (x) the Borrower’s shareholders to receive an equal number of shares of the New Parent as they currently hold in the Borrower, and (y) all options and warrants relating to the Borrower to be converted to options and warrants relating to the New Parent; (v) taking all corporate and other actions necessary to cause the Borrower to become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the New Parent (the “Conversion”); and (vi) causing the New Parent to remain a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement and the Security Agreement after the Merger and Conversion;

WHEREAS, the Conversion would result in a change in the record ownership of the Borrower and would constitute a Change of Control under the definition of such term and an

Event of Default under Section 8.1(o) of the Credit Agreement, unless waived pursuant to Section 10.2(b) of the Credit Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Borrower and the other Loan Parties have requested that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders consent to the Conversion and waive their rights to declare a Default or Event of Default with respect thereto;

WHEREAS, the Administrative Agent has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to grant a limited, express consent and waiver with respect to the Event of Default that would occur under the Credit Agreement as a result of the Conversion;

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders amend certain other provisions of the Credit Agreement; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 10.2(b) of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent, as of or prior to the date hereof, has received the consent of the Required Lenders for the waiver and consent described above and herein, and to amend certain other provisions of the Credit Agreement as herein provided.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged), the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.             Incorporation of Recitals.  The foregoing recitals to this Waiver and Amendment are incorporated in and made a part of this Waiver and Amendment to the same extent and the same effect as if fully set forth herein.

3.             No Implied Waivers.  Each of the Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that the limited, express consent and waiver contained herein shall not constitute a waiver, express or implied, of any other Default, Event of Default, covenant, term or provision of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, nor shall it create any obligation, express or implied, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender to waive, or to consent to any amendment of, any existing or future Default, Event of Default or violation of any covenant, term or provision of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to require strict compliance by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties with the Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding the limited, express consent and waiver contained herein, and nothing herein shall be deemed to establish a course of action or a course of dealing with respect to requests by the Borrower or any other Loan Party for waivers or amendments of any Default, Event of Default, covenant, term or provision of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
