July 13, 2004


Mr. Robert W. Hale, President
Continental Conveyor and Equipment Company
438 Industrial Drive
Winfield, AL  35594

Gentlemen:

Please be advised that this letter hereby revokes and replaces our letter to you
dated July 7, 2004.

You have advised Bank One, NA ("Bank") that the Borrowers (identified below) are
in violation of the covenants pertaining to Debt Service Ratio, Minimum Tangible
Net Worth, Advances to Related Entities and delivery of Audited Financial
Statements for Borrower and Guarantor, as of December 31, 2003, as well as
covenants pertaining to the Debt Service Coverage Ratio and Advances to Related
Entities, as of March 31, 2004 (collectively, the "Covenant Violations"),
pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and Security Agreement,
dated July 25, 2002, as amended (collectively, the "Loan Agreement"). You
requested the Bank to waive those violations, and to extend the maturity of the
Loan Agreement. After review of this matter, the Bank is only willing to waive
those Covenant Violations under certain conditions, and only if certain
requirements are fulfilled to the Bank's satisfaction by Continental Conveyor
and Equipment Company and Goodman Conveyor Company (collectively, the
"Borrowers"). In accordance with the terms below, the Bank reserves all its
rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement and under applicable law.

For the Bank to waive the Borrowers' Covenant Violations, and/or to consider any
extension of the Loan Agreement maturity date, Borrowers must comply on a
pro-forma basis with all covenants under the Loan Agreement (as previously
amended, and as further proposed below) through July 31, 2006, all as the Bank
shall determine in its sole discretion. The Borrower's pro-forma compliance with
the covenants shall be evidenced by projections prepared by Borrower in a form
and format reasonably acceptable to Bank, which projections shall be reflective
of the Bond Restructuring (as defined herein). Absent a written waiver by the
Bank of the Borrowers' Covenant Violations, the Borrowers shall continue to be
in material breach and violation of the Loan Agreement.

If the Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that the Borrower is reasonably
likely to comply on a pro-forma basis with all covenants under the Loan
Agreement, as proposed below, then the Bank will grant (i) a waiver of the
aforesaid Covenant Violations, and (ii) a two (2) year extension of the Loan
Agreement, from July 31, 2004 until July 31, 2006, upon the terms outlined
below. Such a waiver described above, if any, and the accommodations described
below, are all subject to final credit approval by the Bank, the execution of
documentation acceptable to the Bank and its counsel, Borrowers' ongoing
compliance with all other covenants and requirements under the Loan Agreement
as amended, and no material adverse change in Borrowers' financial condition,
business operations and/or in the amount or quality of their collateral. Such
accommodation is further subject to the following terms, conditions and
covenants:

1.2:1.0 for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2004 and each calendar quarter

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------
</TABLE>

The covenant definitions will remain the same as outlined in the Loan Agreement,
except for the definition of "Net Worth," which shall have the same definition
of Shareholder Equity in the Loan Agreement and the definition of Debt Coverage
which shall be replaced with

         "Debt Coverage" means, on a combined consolidated basis, the ratio of:
         (1) Borrowers' operating income, plus depreciation, amortization and
         other non-cash items reasonably acceptable to Bank, less Distributions;

         Borrowers to Lender plus all Capital Expenditures not funded on a term
         basis at the end of calculation thereof.

In addition, Borrower shall not be permitted to pay any debt service upon the
proposed Series B 13% (PIK)/9% (if paid) indebtedness under the Bond

pro-forma basis, Borrower establishes to the sole satisfaction of Bank that
Borrower shall maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.2:1.0

Agreement is further conditioned upon Bank's approval, in its sole and absolute
discretion, of the terms of such Bond Restructuring. Borrowers shall be

Other Conditions:

Receipt of audited financials for the period ended December 31, 2003 by July 31,
2004. Other standard financial and collateral covenants as required by the Bank.

With respect to the Secured Term Loan, Bank shall have received all updated
environmental reports and/or additional enviromental reports to be completed on
the real properties, with such reports to be acceptable to Bank in its sole
discretion.  In the event the findings in an environmental report or study is
deemed unacceptable by Bank, the Secured Term Loan advances with respect to the
value of the real property (and, if deemed appropriate by Bank in its sole
discretion, the machinery and equipment associated with such real property) may
be reduced, in the Banks sole and absolute discretion; provided, that in all
events all such real property, machinery and equipment shall remain collateral
for all loans made by Bank.  Subject to any adjustment due to the completion
and acceptance of such environmental reports (to the extent they might affect
the machinery and equipment), it is currently anticipated that the Bank would
lend up to $2,400,000 against the appraised orderly liquidation value of the
machinery and equipment.

No Event of Default other than the Covenant Defaults shall have occurred under
the Loan Agreement beyond any applicable grace period.

Receipt of the duly executed Forbearance Agreement between Bank and Borrowers
extending the forbearance period to July 30, 2004.

Further Conditions and Reservation of Rights:

If the event Bank hereafter grants its waiver of Borrowers' Covenant Violations,
such waiver shall be applicable only in this instance, and only for the periods
ended December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004, and all other terms and conditions
of the Loan Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Neither any forbearance and/or deferral of action as to the existing Covenant
Violations, nor any discretionary accommodations extended by Bank, nor anything
in this letter, the Loan Agreement, the Loan Documents, nor any ongoing
discussions or negotiations between Borrowers and Bank shall, directly or
indirectly: (i) constitute a waiver of the Covenant Violations; (ii) create any
obligation to make any future extensions of credit or to defer any enforcement
action; (iii) constitute a waiver of the Bank's right to exercise any of its
rights, remedies, or options under the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents,
or any other agreement between the Borrowers and the Bank with respect to the
aforementioned Covenant Violations or any other past, present or future events
of default under the Loan Agreement and/or other Loan Documents; (iv) amend,
modify or operate as a waiver of any provision of the Loan Agreement or any
other Loan Documents, or any right, power, privilege or remedy of Bank
thereunder; or (v) constitute a course of dealing or other basis for altering
any Obligations or Indebtedness of Borrowers under the Loan Agreement or other
Loan Documents or any other contract or instrument.

Bank expressly reserves all of its rights, powers, privileges and remedies under
the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents and/or applicable law, including,
without limitation, its right at any time: (i) to commence any legal or other
action to collect any or all of the Obligations from the Borrowers or any other

Bank or any of its officers, employees, consultants, professionals or agents,
nor any failure or delay by Bank with respect to the exercise of any right,
power, privilege or remedy under any of the Loan Documents and/or applicable law
shall operate as a waiver thereof and the single or partial exercise of any such
right, power, privilege or remedy shall not preclude any later exercise of any
other right, power, privilege or remedy.

Save and except the reservation of rights by the Bank as set forth above, the
terms for the conditional waiver and extension of the Credit Agreement as set
forth in this letter shall expire on Thursday, July 22, 2004 at 5:00 p.m. Akron,
