         2. Capitalized Terms. All capitalized terms contained in this
Modification shall have the same meaning afforded to them in the Note, Loan
Documents and Guaranty Documents.

         3. Specific Modifications to Documents.

            a.  The Note, each of the Loan Documents and each of the Guaranty
                Documents are hereby modified to reflect that the Maturity Date
                of the Loan and the Note is hereby extended from September

            b.  The Note is hereby modified to provide that payments of interest

                first (1st) day of each month hereafter as set forth under the
                terms of the Note, with the entire outstanding principal balance

            c.  Section 1.l(c) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended to
                provide that the advance rate on the QS Tech's Eligible Accounts
                is hereby increased from 70% to 80%. All other advance rates set
                forth in such paragraph shall remain unchanged.

            d.  Section 5.2 of the Loan Agreement is hereby modified to delete
                the phrase "In an Event of Default," at the beginning of such
                section.

            e.  Section 11.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby modified to replace
                the date "September 1, 2004" contained in the third line of such
                section with the date "September 1, 2005".

            f.  Exhibit "A" currently attached to the Negative Pledge Agreement
                is hereby replaced with the Exhibit "A" which is attached to
                this Modification and is incorporated herein by this reference.

         4. No Impairment. Borrower and Guarantors agree that the terms and
provisions hereof shall in no manner impair, limit, restrict or otherwise affect
the obligations of Borrower and Guarantors to Lender or the priority of any lien
evidenced by the Note, the Loan Documents or the Guaranty Documents, except as
modified hereby.

         5. No Defenses. Borrower and Guarantors acknowledge that they have no
offsets, claims, counterclaims or defenses against Lender or under any of their
obligations contained in the Note, the Loan Documents or the Guaranty Documents
and to the extent any such offsets, claims, counterclaims, or defenses exist,
the same are hereby waived by the Borrower and Guarantors.

provision of the Note, the Loan Documents and the Guaranty Documents are hereby
ratified and affirmed by Borrower and Guarantors and shall remain in full force
and effect.

         7. No Novation. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the
execution and delivery of this Modification shall in no way constitute a
novation or extinguishment of the debt evidenced by the Note, Loan Documents or
the Guaranty Documents.

         8. Effect of Modification. In signing this Modification, the parties
hereto expressly certify and covenant that they have carefully read all
provisions contained herein, have had an opportunity to consult with legal
