        8.3    By the Company with Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason.    If the Company
terminates the Executive's employment during the Employment Period for Cause or if the Executive voluntarily terminates the Executive's employment during the Employment Period other than for Good
Reason, the Company shall pay the Executive the Executive's full Base Salary through the Date of Termination and all other unpaid amounts, if any, to which Executive is entitled as of the Date of

        8.5    8.5 Code Section 409A Matters.    Anything in this Agreement to the contrary

Company, Executive is a "specified employee" (within the meaning of Section 409(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code) and (B) as a result of
such separation from service, Executive would receive any payment under this Agreement that, absent
the application of this Section 8.5, would be subject to the additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(2)(B)(i) of the Code,
then no such payment shall be payable prior to the date that is the earliest of (1) six months after the Executive's separation from service, (2) the Executive's death or (3) such

lump-sum on the earliest possible date determined in accordance the preceding sentence.

        c.     Each

        h.     The
Bank's Commitment to issue Letters of Credit in accordance with the terms of hereof shall automatically terminate on the expiration date set forth in

to the issuance of each Letter of Credit, and in all events prior to any daily cutoff time Bank may have established for purposes thereof, Borrower shall deliver to
Bank a duly executed form of Bank's standard form of application for issuance of letters of credit with proper insertions. 

2

 

        4.     Except

standby by letters of credit under the Agreement, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in said Second Modification, one of which conditions limited the total face amount of all Letters of
Credit outstanding, less any partial draws paid under the Letters of Credit, to One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00); and 

        WHEREAS,
the terms of the Loan were modified by a Third Modification of Loan Agreement dated November 2, 2006 (the "Third Modification") which increased the limit upon the total
face amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding, less any partial draws paid under the Letters of Credit, to the full amount of the Loan; and 

        WHEREAS,
the terms of the Loan were modified by a Fourth Modification of Loan Agreement dated February 14, 2007 (the "Fourth Modification") which, among other things, increased
the amount of the Loan to Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00) and limited the total face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, less any partial draws paid under the Letters of Credit, to
Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00). The First Modification, Second Modification, Third Modification and Fourth Modification are sometimes hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Modifications";
and 

        WHEREAS,
the Fourth Modification terminated the Guaranty of the Loan by Surplus but Surplus agreed therein that the full amount of the Loan would continued to be secured by its 

 

accounts
receivable and inventory as set forth in the Security Agreement dated June 7, 2005 and the Financing Statement evidencing the same. 

        NOW
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto jointly
and severally agree as follows: 

        1.     The
recitals hereinabove set forth are incorporated herein and made a part of this agreement by reference. 

        2.     All
terms defined in the Agreement shall have the same meaning in this Modification unless otherwise specifically stated herein. 

        3.     Paragraph 2.(b)iii
of the Agreement, as amended by the Modifications, is further amended in toto to read as follows: 

The
aggregate amount advanced under the Loan shall not exceed Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000.00); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the maximum amount available shall be determined quarterly and in no
event shall it exceed 1.5x the amount of the Borrower's aggregate adjusted EBITDA for the previous four quarters. 

        4.     Surplus
agrees that the Loan shall continue to be secured upon its accounts receivable and Inventory as set forth in the Security Agreement dated June 7, 2005
which shall remain in full force and effect and the terms of which are hereby reaffirmed by Surplus. The Financing Statements evidencing the lien upon Surplus' collateral shall continue and not be
terminated. 

        5.     Default
under the terms of this Modification shall constitute default under the Note. 

        6.     The
Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that as of the date hereof there are no set-offs, claims or defenses against the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents. 

        7.     The
Borrower hereby expressly reaffirms the representations and warranties set forth in the Note and the Agreement and covenants that (a) no default has occurred
under any of them or any other documents relating to or connected with the Note, and (b) no adverse material change has occurred in the financial condition of the Borrower as reflected by the most
recent financial information provided to the Bank. 

        8.     Borrower
shall execute an allonge to the Note, in form and substance acceptable to Bank, evidencing the modifications set forth herein. 

        9.     Repayment
of any Advance used for an acquisition that shall be outstanding on the Maturity Date may, at the option of the Borrower, be extended for a period not to exceed
thirty (30) months from the date of the Advance. Any such amount still unpaid at the expiration of said thirty (30) month period shall be converted to a term loan, payable in payments of 

2

 

principal
and interest in an amount required to amortize the then balance due thereon at an interest rate and for a term to be negotiated based upon the amount to be amortized. 

        10.   Paragraph 6(j)
of the Agreement is hereby deleted and in lieu thereof the following provision is inserted: 

        6(j)  At
no time during the term of the Loan or any extension thereof or any term loan shall there be any material change in ownership control of the Borrower or Surplus or
the management of either company. 

        11.   Borrower
(a) hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Bank has fully and properly discharged all covenants and other provisions of the Agreement, the
Modifications, the Note and all other of the Loan Documents prior to the date hereof; (b) hereby waives any breach of the Note, the Agreement, the Modifications and any other of the Loan
Documents by the Bank prior to the date hereof; and (c) hereby releases, remises, acquits and forever discharges Bank and each of its employees, agents, successors, and assigns from any and all
matters, and claims, actions, causes of action, suits, debts, agreements and demands whatsoever, whether presently known or unknown, which the Borrower may now or hereafter may have against the Bank
by reason of any act, cause, matter or thing whatsoever to the date hereof. 

        12.   In
consideration of this Modification, the Borrower hereby certifies that there is no event of default under the Note, the Agreement, the Modifications or any other of
the Loan Documents and no event has occurred and no condition exists that with the giving of notice or the passage of time would constitute an event of default under the Note, the Agreement, the
Modifications or any other of the Loan Documents. The Borrower further certifies that it is not in default under the terms of any other agreement or instrument to which it may be a party in any
respect that could be materially adverse to the business, operations, property or financial condition of the Borrower, or which could materially adversely affect the ability of the Maker to perform
its obligations under the Agreement, the Modifications, the Note or any other of the Loan Documents or any other documents to which it is party. 

        13.   Except
as hereby expressly modified, the Agreement, as amended by the Modifications, shall otherwise be unchanged, shall remain in full force and effect, and is hereby
expressly approved, ratified and confirmed. In the event the terms of any other Loan documents are inconsistent with the terms of this Modification, the terms of this Modification shall govern. The
parties hereto agree that this Modification shall not be construed as an agreement to substitute a new obligation or extinguish an obligation under the Note, and shall not be construed a novation as
to the obligations of the Borrower and Surplus to the Bank, or as to the Bank's lien under the Security Agreements or the Related Documents. 

        14.   This
Modification shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns.
