1.Amendments to the Credit Agreement.

	Section 2.1 of the Credit Agreement, Revolver Advances, is hereby modified and amended by amending and restating subsection (d) of such Section in its entirety as follows:

"(d)In the event that, at any time, the amount equal to (i) 3.0 times (ii) the sum of (A) the Revolver Usage plus (B) the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan exceeds EBITDA for the immediately preceding 12 months, measured on a quarter-end basis, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, within 5 Business Days of receipt of notice from Agent of such event, the amount of such excess as a mandatory repayment of the outstanding Advances."

	Section 2.2 of the Credit Agreement, Term Loan, is hereby modified and amended by amending and restating subsection (a) of such Section in its entirety as follows:

"(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make the term loans (collectively, the "Term Loan") to Borrowers (i) on June 22, 2005 (the "Term Loan Funding Date"), in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of $15,000,000, and (ii) on the Fifth Amendment Closing Date, in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of $16,000,000. Commencing on the first day of the month following the Fifth Amendment Closing Date, and on the first day of each month thereafter until the Amortization Date, the Term Loan shall be repaid in equal installments of $491,667.00."

	Section 2.6(a) of the Credit Agreement, Interest Rates, is hereby modified and amended by amending and restating such Section in its entirety as follows:

"(a)Interest Rates.  Except as provided in clause (c) below, all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit and except for Bank Product Obligations) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof as follows: (i) if the relevant Obligation is an Advance that is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin, (ii) if the relevant Obligation is a portion of the Term Loan that is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Term Loan Margin, (iii) if the relevant Obligation is a portion of the Term Loan that is a Base Rate Loan, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Term Loan Margin, and (iv) otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate.

The foregoing notwithstanding, at no time shall any portion of the Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate less than 4%.  To the extent that interest accrued hereunder at the rate set forth herein would be less than the foregoing minimum daily rate, the interest rate chargeable hereunder for such day automatically shall be deemed increase to the minimum rate."

	Section 2.13(a) of the Credit Agreement, Interest and Interest Payment Dates, is hereby modified and amended by amending and restating such Section in its entirety as follows:

"(a)Interest and Interest Payment Dates.  In lieu of having interest charged at the rate based upon the Base Rate, Borrowers shall have the option (the "LIBOR Option") to have interest on all or a portion of the Advances or the Term Loan be charged at a rate of interest based upon the LIBOR Rate.  Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans shall be payable on the earliest of (i) the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto provided, however, that, subject to the following clauses (ii) and (iii), in the case of any Interest Period greater than 3 months in duration, interest shall be payable at 3 month intervals after the commencement of the applicable Interest Period and on the last day of such Interest Period), (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default in consequence of which the Required Lenders or Agent on behalf thereof have elected to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Obligations, or (iii) termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof.  On the last day of each applicable Interest Period, unless Administrative Borrower properly has exercised the LIBOR Option with respect thereto, the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall convert to the rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans of the same type hereunder.  At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers no longer shall have the option to request that Advances bear interest at a rate based upon the LIBOR Rate and Agent shall have the right to convert the interest rate on all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder."

	Section 2.13(b) of the Credit Agreement, LIBOR Election, is hereby modified and amended by amending and restating subsection (i) of such Section in its entirety as follows:

"(i)Administrative Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, elect to exercise the LIBOR Option by notifying Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (California time) at least 3 Business Days prior to the commencement of the proposed Interest Period (the "LIBOR Deadline"). Notice of Administrative Borrower's election of the LIBOR Option for a permitted portion of the Advances or the Term Loan and an interest Period pursuant to this Section shall be made by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline, or by telephonic notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline (to be confirmed by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. (California time) on the same day). Promptly upon its receipt of each such LIBOR Notice, Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each of the Lenders having the applicable Commitment."

	Section 2.13(d) of the Credit Agreement, Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate, is hereby modified and amended by amending and restating subsection (ii) of such Section in its entirety as follows:

"(ii)In the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation of application thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Agent and Administrative Borrower and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and (y) in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, the date specified in such Lender's notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loans, and interest upon the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (z) Borrowers shall not be entitled to elect the LIBOR Option until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so."

	Section 3.3 of the Credit Agreement, Term, is hereby modified and amended by amending and restating such Section in its entirety as follows:

"3.3Term.  This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect for a tens ending on March 31, 2010 (the "Maturity Date").
