 The Agent and undersigned Lenders hereby waive the requirements of Section 6.27.1 and 6.27.2 of the Credit Agreement, as those sections existed prior to
the effectiveness of that certain Amendment Ten to Credit Agreement dated August 10, 2005 (the “Credit Agreement Through Amendment Nine”), and as such sections apply to the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2005, but only if (i) as to Section
6.27.1 of the Credit Agreement Through Amendment Nine, Consolidated EBITDA (increased as provided in such section) is greater than or equal to $2,596,000.00 and (ii) as to Section 6.27.2 of the Credit Agreement Through Amendment Nine, the Fixed

 (A) in each case, that “non-recurring extraordinary professional fees and restructuring charges” under such sections includes only the following

 (1) fees to Capstone Corporate Recovery LLC, appraisers for real property and/or equipment appraisals conducted in connection with
refinancing, Gable & Gotwals or other counsel to the Lenders, Glass & Associates, and consultants retained by Borrower related to the reorganization of the Borrower’s fabrication operations, 







 (2) costs and expenses for the search for a replacement chief executive officer (but not

 (3) severance payments and retention bonuses associated with restructuring (but not including salaries and other payroll expenses of
terminated employees for periods during their employment), 
  
 (4) legal fees and legal expenses incurred with regard to the enforcement and collection of the Large Disputed Accounts, and 
  
 (5) legal and auditing fees and expenses associated with Borrower’s S-3 filing, and 
  
 (B) under Section 6.27.2 of the Credit Agreement Through Amendment Nine, the
term “non-cash interest” includes only the following to the extent applicable to such period and subject to all the other provisions of the Credit Agreement Through Amendment Nine: 
  
 (1) amortization of deferred financing fees (excluding fees
paid in connection with Amendment Nine to the Credit Agreement), 
  
 (2) accretion related to the Hake Group Acquisition carry-back financing, 
  
 (3) amortization of pre-paid interest related to the XYZ Subordinated Obligations, and 
  
 (4) interest attributable to the Additional Accrued Margin
that was neither paid nor due and payable during such fiscal quarter, and 
  
 (C) under Section 6.27.2 of the Credit Agreement Through Amendment Nine, the term “...scheduled current maturities of long-term debt (determined according to generally accepted accounting practices) for the
most recently ended fiscal quarter...” shall exclude, for such quarter, any principal payments on the Hake Group Acquisition carry-back financing. 
  
 The waiver described above is limited to the specific provisions and time period described above and shall not waive any provisions of the Credit
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents as they may relate to any other facts and circumstances. Except as expressly provided hereby, all of the representations, warranties, terms, covenants and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall remain unamended and unwaived and shall continue to be, and shall remain, in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms, including express limitations therein relating to the date on which such

shall not be deemed to be a waiver of, amendment to, consent to or modification of any other term or provision of the Credit Agreement or of any event,
condition, or transaction on the part of the Borrower or any other Person which would require the consent of the Agent or any of the Lenders. 
  
 The Borrower and each Loan Party, for itself and on behalf of all its predecessors, successors, assigns, agents, employees, representatives, officers,
directors, general partners, limited partners, joint shareholders, beneficiaries, trustees, administrators, subsidiaries, affiliates, employees, servants and attorneys (collectively the “Releasing Parties”), hereby releases and forever
discharges Agent and each Lender and their respective successors, assigns, partners, directors, officers, agents, attorneys, and employees from any and all claims, demands, cross-actions, controversies, causes of action, damages, rights, liabilities
and obligations, at law or in equity whatsoever, known or unknown, whether past, present or future, now held, owned or possessed by the Releasing Parties, or any of them, or which the Releasing Parties or any of them may, as a result of any actions
or inactions occurring on or prior to the date hereof, hereafter hold or claim to hold under common law or statutory right, arising, directly or indirectly out of any Loan or any of the Loan Documents or any of the documents, instruments or any
other transactions relating thereto or the transactions contemplated thereby. Borrower and each Loan Party understands and agrees that this is a full, final and complete release and agrees that this release may be pleaded as an absolute and final
bar to any or all suit or suits pending or which may hereafter be filed or prosecuted by any of the Releasing Parties, or anyone claiming by, through or under any of the Releasing Parties, in respect of any of the matters released hereby, and that
no recovery on account of the matters described herein may hereafter be had from anyone whomsoever, and that the consideration given for this release is no admission of liability. 
  
 Please indicate your approval of the terms and provisions hereof by executing this letter in the space provided below.
