 Recitals 
  
 Holdings has requested that the Purchaser amend the Warrant Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the Purchaser has agreed
to effect such amendment, on the terms and conditions set forth herein. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter stated, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
  
 1. Warrant Agreement Amendments. 
  
 (a) Section 6 of the Warrant Agreement is amended to insert the following provisions immediately following the last line of §6:

  
 “Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, the Company agrees that it will not, without the affirmative approval of the holders of a majority of the common stock issued and outstanding on a record date at least 30 but no more than 60 days prior to an election for
such purpose, issue or Transfer any Shares, or take any other action that, in accordance with this §6, is deemed to be an issuance or Transfer of any Shares, in each case for a consideration per Share less than the Exercise Price in effect
immediately prior to such issue or Transfer. If the requirement for such stockholder approval is waived by the Holders in accordance with §18.4 of this Warrant Agreement, then the maximum number of Underlying Shares, following any adjustment
pursuant to this §6 in connection with such issuance or Transfer, that will have an adjusted Exercise Price of less than $2.42 shall be 2,048,655 (804,829 of which shall be Underlying Shares initially held by KCEP Ventures II, L.P., 475,581 of
which shall be Underlying Shares initially held by NewWest Mezzanine Fund LP, 475,581 of which shall be Underlying Shares initially held by Convergent Capital Partners I, L.P., and 292,664 of which shall be Underlying Shares initially held by the
James F. Seifert Management Trust dated October 8, 1992), with the balance of such Underlying Shares having an increased Exercise Price such that the average of the Exercise Prices for all Underlying Shares is $2.42. 
  
 “If the adjusted Exercise Price, calculated in
accordance with this §6 as a result of any such issuance or Transfer (i) would be $1.50 or more, such adjustment shall not be 








 
necessary and the Exercise Price shall remain $2.50; and (ii) would be less than $1.50, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to such amount plus
$1.00.” 
  
 (b) Section 7 of the Warrant
Agreement is amended and restated to read as follows: 
  
 “If the average of the closing bid prices of the Shares over the last 45 trading days prior to April 30, 2004, is greater than $1.50, then no adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made pursuant to this §7. If such average is
less than $1.50, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to an amount equal to such average plus $1.00. If any adjustment to the Exercise Price is made under this §7, then the provisions of §6 of this Warrant Agreement shall apply as if
the Exercise Price, as adjusted under this §7, had been the Exercise Price at all times since the date of this Warrant Agreement. 
  
 “Each Holder agrees, individually and not jointly, that such Holder will not sell any Shares short prior to April 30, 2004. 
  
 “Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any
adjustment to the Exercise Price occurs as a result of this §7 which lowers the Exercise Price to less than $2.42, then the Exercise Price otherwise determined pursuant to this §7 shall apply only with respect to 2,048,655 Underlying
Shares (804,829 of which shall be Underlying Shares initially held by KCEP Ventures II, L.P., 475,581 of which shall be Underlying Shares initially held by NewWest Mezzanine Fund LP, 475,581 of which shall be Underlying Shares initially held by
Convergent Capital Partners I, L.P., and 292,664 of which shall be Underlying Shares initially held by the James F. Seifert Management Trust dated October 8, 1992), and the Exercise Price with respect to all Underlying Shares in excess of such
2,048,655 Underlying Shares shall be increased such that the average of the Exercise Prices of all Underlying Shares shall be $2.42. The limitations of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to any Underlying Shares if the issuance of such
Underlying Shares has been approved by the stockholders of the Company prior to the issuance of such Underlying Shares.” 
  
 (c) The definition of Exercise Price in the Warrant Agreement is amended to add the following: 
  
 “Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any
adjustment to the Exercise Price applicable to any Underlying Shares initially issued to the James F. Seifert Management Trust dated October 8, 1992 shall be made in accordance with this Warrant Agreement, but the resulting adjusted Exercise Price
for such Underlying Shares shall in no event be less than $2.22.” 
  
 (d) Section 6 of the Warrant Agreement is amended to add the following at the end of the second paragraph of such §6: 
  
 “All numbers and dollar amounts set forth in this Warrant Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted for any such subdivision or combination, if any,
occurring after May 12, 2003.” 







 2. Covenants of Holdings and Services. On or prior to October 31, 2003 (or such later date as
specified by the Purchaser), Holdings and Services agree to retain a consultant, reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser, and to cooperate fully with such consultant and provide such consultant with full access to documents, employees or other
information so that such consultant can prepare a report for the Holdings Board of Directors with respect to a proposed transaction. Holdings and Services shall not be obligated to incur more than $25,000 in fees for such consultant.

terms, conditions and provisions of the Note Agreement and the other Financing Documents are hereby reaffirmed and continued in full force and effect and shall remain unaffected and unchanged, except as specifically amended by this Amendment. All
covenants, representations and warranties of Holdings and Services in this Amendment shall survive the closing and delivery of this Amendment. The Events of Default specified in the Note Agreement shall continue to be the events of default under the
Note, and Purchaser is not, by executing this Amendment, waiving any existing or future Event of Default or default under any Financing Document. The Purchaser’s remedies with respect to the occurrence of an Event of Default shall continue to
be as set forth in the Note Agreement and in the Financing Documents. Holdings and Services confirm that, in accordance with Section 8.3 of the Note Agreement, Borrower will promptly reimburse the Purchaser for all reasonable expenses relating to
this Amendment.

result in the imposition of any Liens or encumbrances on any of its property (other than as contemplated in the other Financing Documents and as contemplated hereby), (iv) no further approval, consent or withholding of objection on the part of any
regulatory body, federal, state or local, is necessary in connection with the execution and delivery by Holdings and Services of this Amendment, except for review and approval by Nasdaq, and (v) Holdings and Borrower have no defense, offset or
counterclaim with respect to the payment of any sum owed to the Purchaser, or with respect to the performance or observance of any warranty or covenant contained in the Financing Documents, and the Purchaser has performed all obligations and duties

 6. General Release. In consideration of, among other things, the Amendment provided for herein, each of Holdings and Services, on behalf of itself and its stockholders and other Affiliates and their successors and assigns
(collectively, the “Releasors”), hereby forever waives, releases and discharges to the fullest extent permitted by law any and all claims (including, without limitation, cross claims, 








 
counterclaims, rights of set-off and recoupment), causes of action, demands, suits, costs, expenses and damages (collectively, the “Claims”), that
any Releasor now has or hereafter may have, of whatsoever nature and kind, whether known or unknown, whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether arising at law or in equity, against the Purchaser and any of their affiliates, partners,
shareholders and “controlling persons” (within the meaning of the federal securities laws), and their respective successors and assigns and each and all of the officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and other representatives of
each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Releasees”), based in whole or in part on facts, whether or not now known, existing on or before the execution of this Amendment. In entering into this Amendment, Holdings and Services have
