d.                                      Amendment of Section 15. The following
proviso at the end of Section 15 of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted in its
entirety:

 

“; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no Event of Default shall arise
as a result of the Loan Parties’ inability to make a payment prohibited by
Section 12(g)(iii) of this Agreement.”

 

3.                                       Amendment Fee. In consideration for the
agreements of Lender contained herein, Loan Parties shall pay to Agent for the
ratable benefit of the Lenders an amendment fee (the “Amendment Fee”) (a) equal
to $50,000 on the Tenth Amendment Date and (b) in the event the Consolidated
EBITDA is less than $2,000,000 for three month period ending June 30, 2005, an
additional Amendment Fee equal to $200,000, which additional Amendment Fee shall
be deemed to be earned as of the Tenth Amendment Date, but which additional
Amendment Fee shall be due and payable in full on the last day of the Term. The
fees required by this Section shall be excluded from the calculation of
Consolidated EBITDA for all purposes of the Loan Agreement and this Amendment
(including, without limitation, clause (b) of this

 

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Section). The additional Amendment Fee under clause (b) of this Section, if any,
shall be entitled to the security interests, collateral and other rights and
benefits provided pursuant to the Loan Agreement and Other Agreements and shall
constitute a Liability under the Loan Agreement.

 

4.                                       Financial Adviser. Loan Parties
covenant and agree that as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than
thirty (30) days following the Tenth Amendment Date, Loan Parties shall retain,
at their sole expense, an outside financial adviser acceptable to the Lender in
its reasonable discretion to conduct an evaluation of the business of the Loan
Parties, which evaluation shall include, but not be limited to, evaluation of
the Loan Parties’ projections, Borrowing Base under the Loan Agreement and
material contracts (including any acquisition and/or seller note agreements),
and a valuation of the Loan Parties’ business enterprise. Loan Parties further
agree that they shall deliver to Agent any reports, memoranda, projections and
other work product received by Loan Parties from the financial adviser and any
other written reports and work product of the financial adviser that Agent
and/or Lender may reasonably request. The failure of the Loan Parties to comply
with the requirements of this Section shall constitute an Event of Default under
Section 15(b) of the Loan Agreement.

 

5.                                       Representations and Warranties. Each
Loan Party represents and warrants to Lender that:

 

a.                                       All warranties and representations made
to Lender under the Loan Agreement, as amended or otherwise modified by the
additional disclosures set forth in Schedule I to the Ninth Amendment, and
related agreements and documents are true and correct as to the date hereof.

 

b.                                      The execution and delivery by each Loan
Party of this Amendment and the performance by each such Loan Party of the
transactions herein contemplated (i) are and will be within its powers,
(ii) have been authorized by all necessary corporate action, and (iii) are not
and will not be in contravention of any order of any court or other agency of
government, or of any law, or be in conflict with, result in a breach of, or
constitute (with due notice and/or lapse of time) a default under any such
indenture, agreement or undertaking or result in the imposition of any lien,
charge or encumbrance of any nature on any of the properties of such Loan Party
or under the articles or certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other
corporate governance document of any such Loan Party.

 

c.                                       This Amendment and any related
agreement or document will be valid and binding on and enforceable against each
Loan Party in accordance with its respective terms.

 

6.                                       Effectiveness. Subject to the
effectiveness provision of Section 2(c) of this Amendment, this Amendment shall
become effective upon receipt by the Agent of (a) counterparts of this Amendment
duly executed and delivered by each of the Loan Parties and the Lender and
(b) the $50,000 Amendment Fee owed pursuant to Section 3(a) above.

 

7.                                       Collateral. As security for the payment
of all Liabilities now or in the future existing, each Loan Party hereby
confirms and agrees that all security interests and liens granted to Lender and
Agent by any one of them continue in full force and effect and shall continue to
secure all such Liabilities. All Collateral remains free and clear of any liens
other than Permitted Liens. Nothing herein contained is intended in any way to
impair or limit the validity, priority and extent of the existing security
interest of Lender or Agent in and liens upon the Collateral of any Loan Party.

 

8.                                       Release. Each Loan Party hereby
releases the Lender and Agent and each of their respective subsidiaries,
affiliates, members, partners, officers, employees, representatives, agents,
managers, counsel, directors, successors and assigns, both present and former,
from any and all actions, causes of action, claims, demands, damages and
liabilities of whatever kind or nature, in law or in equity, now known or
unknown, suspected or unsuspected to the extent that any of the foregoing arises
from any action or failure to act on or prior to the date hereof.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

9.                                       Ratification of Loan Agreement and
Payment of Expenses. Except as expressly set forth herein, all of the terms and
conditions of the Loan Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed and continue
unchanged and in full force and effect. All references to the Loan Agreement
shall mean the Loan Agreement as modified by this Amendment. No modification
hereof shall be binding or enforceable unless in writing and signed by the party
against whom enforcement is sought. Without limiting the terms of the Loan
Agreement and the Other Agreements, Loan Parties shall pay all costs and
expenses incurred by or on behalf of Agent and Lender (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising under or in connection with this Amendment
or the Other Agreements, including without limitation, in connection with the
negotiation, preparation, execution, and delivery of this Amendment and any and
all consents, waivers, or other documents or instruments relating thereto.

 

10.                                 Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT, AND ALL
MATTERS RELATING HERETO OR ARISING HEREFROM, SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONTROLLED BY
THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA (WITHOUT REGARD TO
PENNSYLVANIA’S OTHERWISE APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS) AS TO
INTERPRETATION, ENFORCEMENT, VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, EFFECT, AND IN ALL OTHER
RESPECTS, EXCLUDING PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTERESTS IN COLLATERAL LOCATED
OUTSIDE OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, WHICH SHALL BE GOVERNED AND
CONTROLLED BY THE LAWS OF THE RELEVANT JURISDICTION IN WHICH SUCH COLLATERAL IS
LOCATED. If any provision of this Amendment shall be held to be prohibited by or
invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of
such provision or remaining provisions of this Amendment.

 

11.                                 Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed
in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to
be an original, and such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same
respective agreement. Signature by facsimile shall bind the parties hereto.
