    Mr. Kevin
Smith:

    

    In
conjunction with the preparation of our financial statements as of November 30,
2008, we have determined that we are not in compliance with the certain
restrictive covenant of the business loan agreement.  Under the terms
of our agreement, you  may have the right to demand immediate payment
of the entire balance of the note, which would affect our classification and
disclosure requirements related to the note.  The covenant that we
believe we are not in compliance with is:

    

    Covenant:

              Borrowers
      agree to maintain a maximum debt/tangible net worth ratio of 1.25
      times.  For the year ended November 30, 2008, Art’s-Way
      Manufacturing’s debt/tangible net worth ratio is 1.26
    times.

            

    

    

    We hereby
request that you waive your right to demand payment of the note as a result of
the noncompliance identified above, through November 30, 2009.

    

    Please
indicate your acceptance of this waiver request by signing
below.  Please return one signed copy of this letter directly to us
for our file.

have any questions, please call.

lawful business for which corporations may be incorporated under, and exercise
the powers granted by, the General Corporation Law of the State of Nevada, as
the same exists or may hereafter be amended from time to time (the “GCLN”),

    AUTHORIZED
CAPITAL

    

    The
Corporation is hereby authorized to issue a total of One Hundred Million
(100,000,000) shares of capital stock which shall be subdivided into classes as
follows:

    

    (a)           One
Hundred Million (100,000,000) shares of the Corporation’s capital stock shall be
denominated as Common Stock, have a par value of $.0001 per share, and have the
rights, powers and preferences set forth in this paragraph. The Holders of
Common Stock shall share ratably, with all other classes of common equity, in
any dividends may be paid with respect to Corporation’s Common Stock, however,
until dividend distributions to the holders of Preferred Stock, if any, have
been paid in accordance with the certificate or certificates of designation
relating to such Preferred Stock. The holders of Common Stock shall share
ratably, with all other classes of common equity, in any assets of the
Corporations that are available for distribution to the holders of common equity
securities of the Corporation upon the dissolution or liquidation of the
Corporation. The holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to cast one vote per
share on all matters that are submitted for a vote of the stockholders. There
are no redemption or sinking fund provisions that are applicable to the Common
Stock of the Corporation. Subject only to the requirements of the General
Corporation Law of Nevada and the foregoing limits, the Board of Directors is
expressly authorized to issue shares of Common Stock without stockholder

consideration as the Board of Directors shall deem appropriate under the
circumstances.

    

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    (b) Five
Million (5,000,000) shares of the Corporation’s authorized capital stock shall
be denominated as Preferred Stock, par value of $.0001 per share. Shares of
Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series as the
Board of Directors, by resolution or resolutions, may from time to time
determine each of said series to be distinctively designated. The voting powers,
preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and
the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, of each such
series of Preferred Stock may differ from those of any and all other series of
Preferred Stock at any time outstanding, and the Board of Directors is hereby
expressly granted authority to fix or alter, by resolution or resolutions, the
designation, number, voting powers, preferences and relative, participation,
optional and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and
restrictions thereof, of each such series of Preferred Stock, including, but
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
following:

    

    (i)           The
distinctive designation of, and the number of shares of Preferred Stock that
shall constitute each series of Preferred Stock, which number (except as
otherwise provided by the Board of Directors in the resolution establishing such
series) may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares of
such series then outstanding) from time to time by the Board of Directors
without prior approval of the holders of such series;

    

    (ii)           The  rights
in respect of dividends, if any, of such series of Preferred Stock, the extent
of the preference or relation, if any, of such dividends to the dividends
payable on any other classes of capital stock of the Corporation, and whether
such dividends shall be cumulative or noncumulative;

    

    (iii)           The
right, if any, of the holders such series of Preferred Stock to convert the same
into, or exchange the same for, shares of any other class or classes or of any
other series of the same or any other class or classes of capital stock of the
Corporation and the terms and conditions of such conversion or exchange,
including, without limitation, whether or not the number shares of such other
class or series into which shares of such series may be converted or exchanged
shall be adjusted in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, subdivision,
combination, reclassification or other transaction or series of transactions
affecting the class or series into which such series of Preferred Stock may be
converted or exchanged:

    

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (iv)          Whether
or not shares of such series of Preferred Stock shall be subject to redemption,
and the redemption price or prices and the time or times at which, and the terms
and conditions on which, shares of such series of Preferred Stock may be
redeemed.;

    

    (v)           The
rights, if any, of the holder of such series of Preferred Stock upon the
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the
Corporation or in the event of any merger or consolidation of or sale assets by
the Corporation;

    

    (vi)          The
terms of sinking fund or redemption or repurchase account, of any, to be
provided for shares of such series of Preferred Stock;

    

    (vii)         The
voting powers, if any, of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock generally
or with respect to any particular matter, which may be less than, equal to or
greater than one vote per share, and which may, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, include the right, voting as a series by itself or together
with the holders of any other series of Preferred Stock or all series of
Preferred Stock as a class, to elect one or more Directors of the Corporation
(which without limiting the generality of the foregoing, may include a specified
number or portion of the then-existing number of authorized Directorships of the
Corporation, or a specified number or portion of Directorships in addition to
the then-existing number of authorized Directorships of the Corporation),
generally or under such specific circumstances and on such conditons, as shall
be provided in the resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors adopted
pursuant hereto; and

    

    (viii)        Such
other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other
special rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, as
the Board of directors shall determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing and with
the sole exception of shares issued pursuant to those of the Corporation’s stock
option and other employee benefit plans which have been approved by the
stockholders entitled or required by law to vote thereon. Upon the creation of
any new class or series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, the Board of
Directors shall prepare and file with the records of the Corporation, a
Certificate setting forth the rights and preferences of such class or series of
Preferred Stock, which shall be deemed an amendment to these Amended and
Restated Articles of Incorporation and shall not require the consent of any
stock holder.

    

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (c)           In
addition to the Common Stock and Preferred Stock described above, the Board of
Directors is authorized to cause the issuance of any other type of security
(including without limitation, options, rights, warrants, or appreciation rights
relating to any equity or debt security of the Corporation and which may have
rights or preferences junior or senior to any equity or debt security of the
Corporation) from time to time on terms and conditions established in the sole
and complete discretion of the Board of Directors. If and to the extent required
by the General Corporation Law of Nevada, upon the creation of any new class or
series of additional securities of the Corporation, the Board of Directors shall
prepare and file with the records of Corporation a Certificate setting forth the
rights and preferences of such class or series of additional securities of the
Corporation, which Certificate shall be deemed an amendment to these Amended and
Restated Articles of Incorporation and shall not require the consent of any
stockholder.

    

    Except to
the extent that such rights are specifically enumerated in a Certificate setting
forth the rights and preferences of a specific class or series of Preferred
Stock or other securities of the Corporation, no stockholder shall have any
preemptive, preferential or other right, including without limitation with
respect to (i) the issuance or sale of additional Common Stock of the
Corporation, (ii) the issuance or sale of additional Preferred Stock of the
Corporation, (iii) the issuance of any obligation, evidence of indebtedness of
the Corporation which is or may be convertible into or exchangeable for, or
accompanied by any rights to receive, purchase or subscribe to, any shares of
Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other securities of the Corporation, (iv) the
issuance of any right of subscription to, or right to receive, any warrant or
option for the purchase of any Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other securities
of the Corporation, or (v) the issuance or sale of any other equity or debt
securities that may be issued or sold by the Corporation from time to
time.

VI

    DIRECTORS

    

    (a)           The
business and affairs of the Corporation shall be conducted and managed by, or

Restated Articles of Incorporation, relating to the rights of the holders of any
series of the Preferred Stock to elect additional directors, the total number of
directors constituting the entire Board Directors shall not be less than three
(3) nor more than nine (9), with the then-authorized number if directors being
fixed from time to time to solely by or pursuant to a resolution passed by the
Board Directors

    

    (b)           Except
for such Directors, if any, as are elected by the holders of any series of
Preferred Stock separately as a class provided for or fixed pursuant to the
provisions of Article IV (b) of these Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation, any director of the Corporation may be removed from office only
by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than fifty-one percent (51%)
of the votes which could be cast by holders of all outstanding shares of the
capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors, considered for this purpose as one class.

    

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    (c)           The
Board of Directors shall have the power to make, adopt, alter, amend and repeal
from time to time the Bylaws of this Corporation, subject to the right of the
stockholders entitled to vote with respect thereto  to adopt, alter,
amend and repeal the Bylaws; provided, however, that Bylaws shall not be
adopted, altered, amended or repealed by the stockholders of the Corporation
except by the vote of the holders of not less than fifty-one (51%) of the
votes  which could be cast by holders of all outstanding shares of the
capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors, considered for this purpose as one class

    

    (d)           No
director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for an act or omission (or an alleged act or
omission) in a director’s  capacity as a director, except that this
Article VI (d) does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director to the
extent the director is found liable for:

    

    (i)           
a breach of a directors duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its
stockholders;

    

    (ii)           an
act or omission not in good faith which constitutes a breach duty of the
director to the Corporation, or an act or omission which involves intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of the law;

    

    (iii)          a
transaction from which a director received an improper benefit, whether or not
the benefit resulted from an action taken within the scope of the director’s
office; or

    

    (iv)          an
act or omission for which the liability of a director is expressly provided for
by an applicable statute.

    

    If the
GCLN or any other applicable law is amended or adopted to authorize corporate
action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then
the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to
the fullest extent permitted by such law(s), as so amended or adopted. No
amendment to or repeal of this Article VI (d) shall apply to or have any effect
on the liability or alleged liability of any director of the Corporation for or
with respect to any acts or omissions of the director occurring prior to such
amendment or repeal.

    

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (e)           The
Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I,
Class II, and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be possible,
of one-third of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board of
Directors. Initially, Class I directors shall be elected for a one-year term, or
until the next annual shareholders meeting, Class II directors for a term until
the second annual shareholders meeting after initial election and Class III
directors for a term until the third annual shareholders meeting after initial
election. At the annual meeting of stockholders beginning in 2004, successors to
the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be
elected for a three-year term. If the number of directors is changed, any
increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain
the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any
additional director of that class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an
increase in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the
remaining term of that class, but in no case shall a decrease in the number of
directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. A director shall hold
office until the annual meeting for the year in which his term expires and until
his successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior
death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. Any
vacancy on the Board of Directors or any newly created directorship resulting
from an increase in the number of directors may be filled in any manner
permitted by the GCLN.

    

    (f)           Notwithstanding
the foregoing, whenever, pursuant to the provisions of Article IV (b) of these
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, the holders of any one or more
series of Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a series or
together with holders of other such series, to elect directors at an annual or
Annual Meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, filling of
vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the
terms of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and the
Certificate of Designations applicable thereto, and such directors so elected
shall not be divided into classes pursuant to this Article VI (f) unless
expressly provided by such terms.

    

    (g)           Directors
must be at least 21 years of age and need not to be stockholders. There shall be
no qualifications for directors of the Corporation other than as set forth in
these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation.
