The maximum amount of all outstanding Loans of the Bank to the Company under this Agreement shall not exceed $40,400,000 (the "Maximum Commitment").

As of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as defined below), the Bank shall have no further obligation to fund any Revolving Credit Loans under this Agreement. Any amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Note shall become due and payable on March 1, 2006 ("Revolving Credit Maturity Date") pursuant to the terms thereof and Section 1.4 hereof, as such Revolving Credit Maturity Date may be extended pursuant to Section 1.1.5 hereof.

Each annual extension shall be accompanied by an amendment fee of $10,000. 2 (b) If the Bank delivers a notice of non-extension on or before any March 1, then the Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall not be further extended, and the Company shall have the option to (i) pay off the remaining principal balance on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or (ii) if the Company sends a conversion notice to the Bank by the March 31 occurring immediately after the Company's receipt of a notice of non-extension, to convert the Revolving Credit Commitment to a term loan, in which case the balance of the Revolving Note shall automatically convert to a term obligation with a maturity 60 months thereafter (the "Extended Revolving Credit Maturity Date"), and in which case the Company shall pay the remaining principal balance over the extended term, with equal installments due each quarter (commencing on the May 1 occurring immediately after the delivery of the Bank's notice of non-extension) in an amount equal to the then-remaining (i.e., March 31) principal balance divided by 20, so that the obligations incurred under the Revolving Note shall be paid in full when the final equal quarterly payment is made on the Extended Revolving Credit Maturity Date. 1.1.6. Draw Note. The $6,000,000 available to the Company under the Draw Note shall be hereinafter called the "Draw Commitment."

(b) Interest. Each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal balance of all Loans made by the Bank for each day from the day such Loan is made until it becomes due, at a fluctuating rate per annum which rate will be immediately adjusted upon the execution of this Amendment.

The interest rate adjustment will be effective the first Monday following receipt by the Bank of the Quarterly Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 5.4(c) herein.

Interest on all Loans shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. As used in this Agreement, the term "Prime Rate" on any day shall mean the rate published or announced by the Bank as its prime rate which rate may not be the Bank's lowest rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan due to a change in the Prime Rate shall take effect on the date of such change in the Prime Rate.

Interest Settlement Rates" on the Telerate System ("Telerate"), Page 3750 or Page 3740, or such other page or pages as may replace such pages on Telerate for the purpose of displaying such rate; provided, however, that if such rate is not available on Telerate then such offered rate shall be otherwise independently determined by the Bank from an alternate, substantially similar independent source available to the Bank or shall be calculated by the Bank by a substantially similar methodology as that theretofore used to determine such offered rate in Telerate. "London Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close in the City of London, England. Each change in the rate to be charged hereunder will become effective without notice on the commencement of each Interest Period based upon the LIBOR Rate then in effect. "Interest Period" means each consecutive one, two, three or six month period (the first of which shall commence on the date of this Agreement) effective as of the first day of each Interest Period and ending on the last day of each Interest Period, provided that if any Interest Period is scheduled to end on a date for which there is no numerical equivalent to the date on which the Interest Period commenced, then it shall end instead on the last day of such calendar month.

Interest on the Loans shall be payable quarterly on the last day of each January, April, July, and October, commencing on the first such date following the initial Loan.

The Company shall 6 pay an amount (the "Excess Cash Flow") equal to forty percent (40%) of the Company's annual Net Income that exceeds the amount of principal paid by the Company on the Term Loan during such fiscal year multiplied by 1.5; provided, however, that such payment shall never be greater than $500,000 for any fiscal year. The Company shall pay the Excess Cash Flow on the February 1 occurring immediately after each fiscal year end. The Company shall be required to pay any Excess Cash Flow to the Bank. 1.5 Prepayments and Right to Reborrow.

No prepayment shall affect the Company's right to reborrow from the Bank under the Revolving Commitment of the Bank up to the permissible amount hereunder prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The Company may prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of the Loans bearing interest at a LIBOR Rate, provided that if the Company makes any such prepayment other than on the last day of an Interest Period, the Company shall pay all accrued interest on the principal amount prepaid with such prepayment and, on demand, shall reimburse the Bank and hold the Bank harmless from all losses and expenses incurred by the Bank as a result of such prepayment, including, without limitation, any losses and expenses arising from the liquidation or reemployment of deposits acquired to fund or maintain the principal amount prepaid. Such reimbursement shall be calculated as though the Bank funded the principal amount prepaid through the purchase of U.S. Dollar deposits in the London, England interbank market having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, whether in fact that is the case or not. The Bank 's determination of the amount of such reimbursement shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 1.6 Loans.

The amount of each Letter of Credit must be approved by the Bank (provided that there shall never be more than $500,000 in face amount of Letters of Credit outstanding), and the Bank may disapprove a Letter of Credit request at any 7 time for any reason. The Revolving Commitment shall be reduced by the face amount of any Letter of Credit. (B) The Company shall immediately reimburse the Bank for the amount paid on all drafts drawn under Letters of Credit issued hereunder. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Company should fail to so immediately reimburse the Bank, then, in addition to any other remedy which the Bank may have with respect to such failure, any amount paid by the Bank on any draft under a Letter of Credit shall be treated as a Loan (bearing interest as provided in Section 1.4).
