Borrower dated as of November 13, 2004, and as further amended by that certain Second Loan
Modification Agreement by and between Bank and Borrower dated as of January 1, 2005 (as the same

     C. Borrower has failed to comply with the covenant set forth in Section 6.2(a)(iii) of the
Loan Agreement for the fiscal year 2005, which failure, if not cured or waived by Bank, would
constitute an Event of Default.



     D. Borrower has requested that Bank waive compliance with such covenant and Bank has agreed to
so waive such covenant, in accordance with the terms, subject to the conditions and in reliance
