     5. Amendment Fee. In consideration of the Lenders’ willingness to enter into this
Amendment, the Loan Parties shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable
benefit of the Lenders) an amendment fee of $550,000 (the “Amendment Fee”) which fee shall
be fully earned and non-refundable as of the date hereof. Of the Amendment Fee, $200,000 shall be
due and payable as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Amendment, and the remaining
$350,000 (the “Amendment Fee Balance”) shall be due and payable as follows (if not sooner
as a result of the acceleration of the Obligations or payment in full of all other Obligations):
(i) $150,000 of the Amendment Fee Balance on April 15, 2008; provided that $75,000 of such
Amendment Fee Balance shall be waived by the Lenders in the event that Consolidated EBITDA for the
six month period ending March 31, 2008 exceeds $4,000,000 and an additional $25,000 of such
Amendment Fee Balance shall be waived by the Lenders in the event that Consolidated EBITA for the
six month period ending March 31, 2008 exceeds $5,000,000, (ii) $125,000 of the Amendment Fee
Balance on July 15, 2008; provided that $75,000 of such Amendment Fee Balance shall be
waived by the Lenders in the event that Consolidated EBITDA for the nine month period ending June
30, 2008 exceeds $5,000,000 and an additional $25,000 of such Amendment Fee Balance shall be waived
by the Lenders in the event that Consolidated EBITDA for the nine month period ending June 30, 2008
exceeds $6,000,000 and (iii) $75,000 of the Amendment Fee Balance on October 15, 2008;
provided that $50,000 of such Amendment Fee Balance shall be waived by the Lenders in the
event that Consolidated EBITDA for the twelve month period ending September 30, 2008 exceeds
$8,000,000 and the remaining $25,000 of such Amendment Fee Balance shall be waived by the Lenders
in the event that Consolidated EBITDA for the twelve month period ending September 30, 2008 exceeds
$8,500,000. For the avoidance of doubt, the entire amount of the Amendment Fee shall constitute
Obligations under the Credit Agreement and shall become due and payable in connection with any
acceleration pursuant to Section 9.02(b) of the Credit Agreement, and, following such acceleration,
any subsequent reductions that would otherwise be available pursuant to this Section 5
shall no longer be applicable.



     6. Cooperation With Consultants. The Loan Parties shall (i) cooperate fully with any

breach of any provision or representation under this Amendment shall constitute an immediate Event
of Default under the Credit Agreement, and this Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document.

each agree to execute and deliver, or to cause to be executed and delivered, all such instruments
