revolving line of credit in the maximum principal amount of $3,000,000.00, evidenced by that
certain Revolving Promissory Note, dated October 23, 2006 (the “Revolving Note”) and in the
form of a term loan in the principal amount of $2,500,000.00, evidenced by that certain Term
Promissory Note, dated October 23, 2006 (the “Term Note”), made pursuant to and secured by
that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated October 23, 2006 (the “Loan Agreement”).
The Loan Agreement and any other agreements, documents, and instruments securing the Credit are
referred to individually and collectively as the “Security Documents”. The Loan Agreement,
the Revolving Note, the Term Note, the Security Documents, and all other agreements, documents, and
instruments evidencing, securing, or otherwise relating to the Loan are sometimes referred to
individually and collectively as the “Loan Documents”. Capitalized terms not otherwise

          B. Borrower has requested that Lender modify the Loan Documents to, inter alia, allow for an
overadvance under the Revolving Loan against foreign receivables which are not otherwise Eligible

rate which is two percent (2.0%) per annum in excess of the Base Rate (as such term is defined
in the Revolving Note).




          2.1.2 The interest rate referenced in the Term Note is hereby amended to a per annum rate
which is two percent (2.0%) per annum in excess of the Base Rate (as such term is defined in the
Term Note).




          2.1.3 In addition to the regularly scheduled principal payments required to be made
pursuant to the terms of the Term Note, Borrower shall be obligated to make the following
additional principal payments on the Term Note on or before the dates referenced below:




     1) One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($150,000.00) on or before
