        “        
“Maturity
Date”  shall be February 26,
2011.”

         

      

      
        
          	
                	
                  3.

                	
                  The
      AR Financing Agreement shall be amended by deleting the following text,
      appearing in Section 6.3
thereof:

                


        

      

       

      
        “          
 (L) Intentionally omitted.”

         

        
          
            	
                     

                  	
                    
                      and
      inserting in lieu thereof the following:

                    

                  


          

        

         

        “            (L)
Maintain at all times, to be tested on the last day of each month, Liquidity of
at least Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000.00).”

         

        4.    FEES.  Borrower
shall pay to Bank a modification fee equal to Twenty Thousand Dollars
($20,000.00), which fee shall be fully earned, due and payable as of the date
hereof. Borrower shall also be obligated to reimburse Bank for any reasonable
legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Amendment.

         

        


        5.    CONSISTENT
CHANGES.  The Existing Loan Documents are hereby amended
wherever necessary to reflect the changes described above.

         

        


        
          6.    RATIFICATION OF PERFECTION
CERTIFICATE.  Borrower has delivered to Bank an updated
Perfection
Certificate in connection with this Amendment, which is dated as of November 23,
2010 and which shall be deemed to replace that certain Perfection Certificate
dated as of June 3, 2007.

        

         

        


        7.    RATIFICATION OF LOAN
DOCUMENTS. Borrower hereby ratifies, confirms, and reaffirms all terms
and conditions of all security or other collateral granted to the Bank, and
confirms that the indebtedness secured thereby includes, without limitation, the
Obligations.

         

        


        8.    NO DEFENSES OF
BORROWER.  Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that
Borrower has no offsets, defenses, claims, or counterclaims against Bank with
respect to the Obligations, and that if Borrower now has, or ever did have, any
such offsets, defenses, claims, or counterclaims against Bank, whether known or
unknown, at law or in equity, all of them are hereby expressly WAIVED and
Borrower hereby RELEASES Bank from any liability thereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the above representation and waiver shall not include, or pertain to,
any of Borrower’s assets that are managed by Bank’s Management
Group.

         

        
          9.    CONTINUING VALIDITY.
Borrower understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Obligations, Bank
is relying upon Borrower’s representations,
warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Existing Loan
Documents.
Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Amendment, the terms of the
Existing Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and
effect.  Bank’s agreement to modifications to the existing Obligations
pursuant to this  Amendment in no way shall obligate Bank to make any
future modifications to the Obligations. Nothing
in this Amendment shall constitute a satisfaction of the
Obligations.  It is the intention of Bank and Borrower to retain as
liable parties all makers of Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is
expressly released by Bank in writing. No maker will be released by virtue of
this Amendment.

        

         

        10.    COUNTERSIGNATURE.
This Amendment shall become effective only when it shall have been executed by
Borrower and Bank.
