one and the same instrument.

 

12.         Entire
Agreement. This Amendment, together with the other Loan Documents, sets forth the entire agreement of the parties with
respect to the subject matter of this Amendment and supersedes all previous understandings, written or oral, in respect of this

Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Financing Agreement other than pursuant to Section 10.28 of the
Financing Agreement as a result of Borrowers’ violation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in Exhibit F
to the Financing Agreement) for the Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 2011. Borrowers acknowledge Lender’s continued reservation
of rights as provided in the letter from Lender to Borrowers and Parent dated August 8, 2011 (the “Reservation of Rights
Letter”) with respect to the Existing Defaults (as defined in the Reservation of Rights Letter).

 

4.          Covenant.
Borrowers acknowledge the conditions for a Permitted Payment (defined below) of the Fox Subordinated Debt and the Kemner Subordinated
Debt on or about December 30, 2011 under the terms of the Fox Subordination Agreement and the Kemner Subordination Agreement, respectively,
are not met as of the Effective Date, and covenant and agree not to make all or any portion of any such Permitted Payment unless
there is strict compliance with the terms and conditions therefor in accordance with the Kemner Subordination Agreement and the
Fox Subordination Agreement, as applicable. As used herein, the term “Permitted Payment” shall have the meaning given
in the Fox Subordination Agreement or the Kemner Subordination Agreement, as applicable. 

 

5.          Costs
and Expenses. As a condition of this Amendment, Borrowers will promptly on demand pay or reimburse Bank for the costs and
expenses incurred by Bank in connection with this Amendment, including, without limitation, Attorneys’ Fees.

 

6.          Release.
Each Borrower hereby releases Bank from any and all liabilities, damages and claims arising from or in any way related to the Obligations
or the Loan Documents, other than such liabilities, damages and claims which arise after the execution of this Amendment. The foregoing
release does not release or discharge, or operate to waive performance by, Bank of its express agreements and obligations stated
in the Loan Documents on and after the date of this Amendment.

 

7.          Default.
Any default by Borrowers in the performance of Borrowers’ obligations under this Amendment shall constitute an Event of Default
under the Financing Agreement.

 

8.          Continuing
Effect of the Financing Agreement; Security. Except as expressly amended hereby, all of the provisions of the Financing
Agreement are ratified and confirmed and remain in full force and effect. Borrowers and Bank hereby expressly intend that this
Amendment shall not in any manner: (a) constitute the refinancing, refunding, payment or extinguishment of the Obligations evidenced
by the existing Loan Documents; (b) be deemed to evidence a novation of the outstanding balance of the Obligations; or (c) replace,
impair, or extinguish the creation, attachment, perfection or priority of the Liens on the Loan Collateral granted pursuant to
the Loan Documents. Each Borrower ratifies and reaffirms any and all grants of Liens to Bank on the Loan Collateral as security
for the Obligations, and each Borrower acknowledges and confirms that the grants of the Liens to Bank on the Loan Collateral: (i)
represent continuing Liens on all of the Loan Collateral, (ii) secure all of the Obligations, and (iii) represent valid, first
and best Liens on all of the Loan Collateral except to the extent, if any, of the Permitted Liens.

Agreement; References; Fax Signature. The Financing Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, will be construed as one agreement.
All references in any of the Loan Documents to (a) the Financing Agreement will be deemed to be references to the Financing Agreement
as amended by this Amendment, and (b) the Revolving Loan Note will be deemed to be references to the Amended and Restated Revolving
Loan Note. This Amendment may be signed by facsimile signatures or other electronic delivery of an image file reflecting the execution
thereof, and if so signed, (i) may be relied on by each party as if the documents were a manually signed original and (ii) will
be binding on each party for all purposes.

 

10.         Captions.
The headings to the Sections of this Amendment have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify
or restrict any provisions hereof or be used to construe any such provisions.

 

11.         Counterparts.
This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.

 

12.         Entire
Agreement. This Amendment, together with the other Loan Documents, sets forth the entire agreement of the parties with
respect to the subject matter of this Amendment and supersedes all previous understandings, written or oral, in respect of this
Amendment.

Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Ohio (without
regard to Ohio conflicts of law principles).

of Cross-Guaranty. Each Borrower hereby: (i) ratifies and reaffirms the Cross-Guaranty and (ii) acknowledges and agrees
that no Borrower is released from its obligations under the Cross-Guaranty by reason of this Amendment or the other Loan Documents
and that the obligations of each Borrower under the Cross-Guaranty extend, among other Obligations of Borrowers to Lender, to the
Obligations of Borrowers under this Amendment and other Loan Documents.
