WHEREAS, Borrower and

and the same may be further , restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”); and


 


WHEREAS, Borrower has
requested that Lender amend the Loan Agreement as set forth herein, and Lender is willing to do so on the terms and conditions
set forth herein.


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing premises, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:


 


1.      Definitions. All capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise expressly defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Loan
Agreement.


 


2.      Waiver of
Certain Default. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that a Default exists under the Loan Agreement as a result of Borrower’s
failure to comply with the fixed charge coverage ratio contained in Section 6 of the Loan Agreement and Item 18(a) of the Schedule
to the Loan Agreement for the twelve-month period ending on January 31, 2012 (the “Specified Default”). Lender hereby
waives the Specified Default. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as a waiver of any Default other than the Specified Default,
and nothing contained herein shall entitle Borrower to any future waiver or similar accommodation.


 


3.      EBITDA Covenant
in Lieu of Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting Item 18(a) of the Schedule to the
Loan Agreement and substituting the following in lieu thereof:


 


(a)      Borrower
shall maintain, as of the last day of each month for the twelve-month period then ended, net income (excluding extraordinary gains
and excluding unrealized gains and losses from mark-to-market adjustments) before provision for interest expense, taxes, depreciation
and amortization, of at least $3,500,000.

heretofore made by it under or in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, and the
other Loan Documents, as fully as though such representations and warranties had been made on the date hereof and with specific
reference to this Agreement and the Loan Documents.


 


5.      No Other Changes.
Except as set forth herein, the Loan Agreement shall be and remain in full force and effect as originally written, and shall constitute
the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Borrower to Lender.


 


6.      Costs and Expenses.
In consideration of the accommodations made by Lender hereunder, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender, on demand, all costs and expenses
of Lender in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
and any other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket
expenses of legal counsel to Lender. Without limiting anything contained in the Loan Agreement, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender

7.      No Default.
To induce Lender to enter into this Agreement, Borrower hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, and after
giving effect to the terms hereof, there exists no Default under the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

discharges Lender and its affiliates and all of their past, present and future officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys,

any manner, cause or things to and including the date of this Agreement with respect to matters arising out of or with respect
to the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Obligations, or any other arrangement or relationship between Lender and Borrower.


 


9.      Lender Not Obligated
for Further Amendments. Borrower acknowledges that (a) except as expressly set forth herein, Lender has not agreed to (and
has no obligation whatsoever to discuss, negotiate or agree to) any restructuring, modification, amendment, waiver or forbearance
with respect to the Obligations or any of the terms of the Loan Documents, (b) no understanding with respect to any other restructuring,
modification, amendment, waiver or forbearance with respect to the Obligations or any of the terms of the Loan Documents shall
constitute a legally binding agreement or contract, or have any force or effect whatsoever, unless and until reduced to writing
and signed by authorized representatives of Borrower and Lender, and (c) the execution and delivery of this Agreement has not
established any course of dealing among the parties hereto or created any obligation or agreement of Lender with respect to any
future restructuring, modification, amendment, waiver or forbearance with respect to the Obligations or any of the terms of the
Loan Documents.
