 The definition of the term LOAN TERMINATION DATE in Section 1.28 of the
 AGREEMENT is hereby amended by deleting the reference to May 31, 2011 as the

 thereof May 30, 2012. Anywhere else in the AGREEMENT which refers to May 31,

 consistent with the foregoing. To further evidence the extension of the LOAN
 TERMINATION DATE of the REVOLVING NOTES, BORROWER shall execute and deliver
 to each BANK with a REVOLVING LOAN COMMITMENT AMOUNT a FOURTH AMENDED AND
 RESTATED REVOLVING PROMISSORY NOTE and all references to the REVOLVING NOTES
 in the AGREEMENT and the other LOAN DOCUMENTS are hereby amended to refer to
 such FOURTH AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING PROMISSORY NOTES.

 REVOLVING NOTES. Prior to maturity and subject to the incentive pricing
 provisions contained in Section 2.15 of this AGREEMENT, interest on the
 REVOLVING NOTES shall accrue and be calculated using a rate of 2.8% over the

 described below, resulting in an initial rate of 3.054% per annum based on a
 year of 360 days. Interest on the REVOLVING NOTES is computed on an
 actual/360 basis; that is, by

 interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding
 principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal
 balance is outstanding. All interest payable under the REVOLVING NOTES is
 computed using this method. The principal balance of the REVOLVING NOTES will
 bear interest after maturity and after the occurrence and during the
 continuance of an EVENT OF DEFAULT at a variable per annum rate equal to the
 Index plus six percent (6%), but not to exceed the maximum rate allowed by
 law. Borrower will pay interest quarterly, in arrears, on the first calendar
 day of each quarter. Accrued and unpaid interest must also be paid on the
 LOAN TERMINATION DATE applicable to the REVOLVING LOAN, whether by
 acceleration or otherwise. The interest rate change will not occur more often
 than each quarter on the INTEREST RATE CHANGE DATE applicable to the
 REVOLVING LOAN.

 amended by deleting the reference to $1,000,000.00 as the maximum amount of

BORROWER certifies and reaffirms by its execution hereof that the
representations and warranties set forth in the AGREEMENT and the other LOAN

giving of notices or passage of time or both, would become such an EVENT OF
DEFAULT, has occurred as of execution hereof. This Amendment may be executed
simultaneously in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original but which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
