                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten and No/100 Dollars
($10.00), the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby expressly
acknowledged, Grantor and Grantee hereby agree as follows:

                  1. Grantor does hereby give, grant and convey to Grantee and
Grantee's agents, contractors, tenants, licensees, guests, invitees, grantees,
employees, representatives, successors (including, without limitation, any and
all successors to Grantee in title to all or any portion of the Benefited
Parcel) and assigns (collectively, the "Grantee Parties"), (a) a non-exclusive,
perpetual right and easement (which easement shall be appurtenant to the
Benefited Parcel) upon, under, over, across and along the Common Use Areas for
purposes of using the Common Use Areas and gaining access to the Benefited
Parcel therefrom, (b) a non-exclusive, perpetual right and easement (which
easement shall be appurtenant to the Benefited Parcel) upon, under, over, across
and along the Access Routes for purposes of gaining pedestrian, vehicular and
all other reasonable modes of (i) access between the Benefited Parcel and the
other Common Use Areas and (ii) access, ingress and egress, to and from, the
Common Use Areas and any and all existing streets, roadways, paths, driveways,
rights-of-way and highways adjacent to the Grantor's Property, from time to time
and at any and all times, and (c) subject to the terms of Paragraph 3 below, a
non-exclusive, perpetual right and easement (which easement shall be appurtenant
to the Benefited Parcel) upon, over, under, through, across and along the
Easement Area for purposes of using, accessing, constructing, placing,
installing, maintaining, repairing, replacing, inspecting, patrolling, renewing,
and operating, from time to time (and for the purposes of causing or permitting
any third party to take any or all of the foregoing actions from time to time)
on, under and through the Easement Area, gas, telephone, telecommunications,
water, sanitary sewer and other utility lines, switchboxes, cables, wires and
other associated fixtures, equipment and facilities (collectively, the "Grantee
Utility Facilities"), in order to provide the Benefited Parcel and the Common
Use Areas with utility services, and in connection with the Grantee Parties'
exercise of the rights set forth in this clause (c), the right to enter upon the
Easement Area for such purposes. Except as specifically set forth herein, each
and all of the rights, privileges and easements conferred upon the Grantee
Parties pursuant to this Agreement may be exercised by the Grantee Parties from
time to time and at any time without any notice (prior or subsequent) to
Grantor.

                  2. In the event that an emergency, hazardous condition or
other event beyond the reasonable control of Grantee shall from time to time
occur (including, without limitation, strikes, acts of god and actions of law
enforcement authorities) which results in the full or partial closure of (a) the
Access Routes (or any portion thereof) or (b) the Common Use Areas' roadways,
paths, driveways, rights-of-way or other areas (or any portion thereof) used by
the Grantee Parties for access between, among, to, and from the Common Use Areas
and the Benefited Parcel, then (in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Grantee
Parties' rights and easements described in Paragraph 1 above), the Grantee
Parties shall have the right, during the continuance of any such closure, to
gain emergency pedestrian, vehicular and all other reasonable modes of access,
ingress and egress, over any portion of the Grantors Property as required by
Grantee to gain access to and use of the Benefited Parcel and the Common Use
Areas. Such right to access, ingress and egress, may be exercised by Grantee
without prior notice to Grantor, but shall be exercised in a manner that creates
and allows only minimal interference with Grantor's operations conducted on the
Grantor's Property.

                  3. In connection with the exercise by the Grantee Parties of
their rights and easements under clause (c) of the first sentence of Paragraph 1
of this Agreement, Grantee shall provide Grantor with at least fifteen (15) days
advance notice of any proposed construction, placement and installation of
Grantee Utility Facilities, and the construction, placement and installation of
the Grantee Utility Facilities shall not unreasonably interfere with Grantor's
use, occupancy and operation of the Grantor's Property. Grantor acknowledges and
agrees that any Grantee Utility Facilities may be owned and/or operated by third
parties (and not by Grantee), and that (in addition to, and not in lieu of, the
other

                                       2
<PAGE>

rights conferred upon Grantee pursuant to this Agreement), Grantee shall have
the right to confer upon any such third parties any or all of the rights to
which Grantee is entitled under clause (c) of the first sentence of Paragraph 1
of this Agreement, which rights shall be exercised in accordance with and
subject to the terms of this Agreement as if such third party were Grantee
hereunder. Grantee shall be responsible for maintaining any Grantee Utility
Facilities, at its sole cost and expense, subject to the terms set forth in
Paragraph 4 below.

                  4. The parties hereby agree and acknowledge that the Easement
Area (including the Benefited Parcel) shall be staffed, kept, maintained and
repaired in accordance with the terms of that certain Omnibus Agreement of even
date herewith, by and between Martin Resource Management Corporation, Martin
Midstream GP, LLC, Martin Midstream Partners L.P., and Grantee (the "Omnibus
Agreement"), for so long as the Omnibus Agreement is in full force and effect
according to its express terms and conditions. Upon the expiration or earlier
termination of the Ominbus Agreement, the maintenance and repair obligations set
forth therein shall automatically terminate and expire, and have no further
force or effect with respect to the Easement Area. Upon such expiration or
earlier termination, Grantor shall thereafter be obligated to maintain and
repair the Easement Area and keep the Easement Area in good repair and condition
in a manner reasonably similar to that provided for under the Omnibus Agreement;
provided, however, Grantor shall have no obligation whatsoever to staff or
provide employees to operate the improvements on the Benefited Parcel after the
expiration or earlier termination of the Omnibus Agreement. The foregoing
obligation of Grantor to maintain and repair the Easement Area following the
expiration or termination of the Omnibus Agreement shall be a covenant running
with the land after such expiration or earlier termination of the Omnibus
Agreement.

                  5. Grantor, at Grantor's sole cost and expense, shall have the
right from time to time (but no more frequently than once within any three (3)
year period) to relocate the Common Use Areas to an alternative location on the
Grantor's Property which is acceptable to Grantee; provided, that (a) Grantor
shall have delivered to Grantee at least thirty (30) days' advance notice of any
such relocation (which notice shall designate with specificity the proposed
alternative location of the Common Use Areas), (b) such relocation shall not
materially impair (or make more expensive or more burdensome) any of the rights
of use or access granted upon the Grantee Parties hereunder, (c) at all times
during the period of time required in order to effect such relocation, the
Grantee Parties shall have pedestrian, vehicular and other reasonable modes of
access, ingress and egress, on and over the Easement Area or an alternative
location reasonably designated by Grantor on and over the Grantor's Property
between and among the Benefited Parcel and the Common Use Areas and to and from
the Benefited Parcel and the Common Use Areas and all streets, roadways, paths,
driveways, rights-of-way and highways adjacent to the Easement Area or such
alternative location, (d) the physical condition and condition of title of the
relocated Common Use Areas shall be reasonably acceptable to Grantee, and (e)
promptly following any such relocation, Grantor shall, if Grantee so requests,
execute and record with the County recorder's office an instrument reasonably
acceptable to Grantee designating such new location.

                  6. The terms, conditions, rights and easements contained
herein shall be covenants running with the land and shall be perpetual. This
Agreement shall be recorded, and the terms and conditions contained herein shall
bind, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, the
respective successors in title to Grantee and Grantor to the Benefited Parcel
and Easement Area).

                  7. Whenever notice is required to be given pursuant to this
Agreement, the same shall be either personally delivered, sent by a nationally
recognized overnight delivery service, postage prepaid, or sent via United
States certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and addressed

Agreement (or the application of such term, provision or condition to persons or
circumstances other than in respect of which it is invalid or unenforceable)

terminate or be in any way impaired by reason of a change of the present uses of
any Parcel of the present improvements or fixtures thereon.

                  11. If either of the Parcels is hereafter divided into two or

successors and assigns) may enforce this instrument by appropriate action and
the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover as part of its
costs reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses.

                  13. The rule of strict construction does not apply to the
grant of easements contained herein. These grants shall be given a reasonable
construction in order that the intention of the parties to confer a commercially
useable right of enjoyment to Grantee with respect to such easements shall be
effectuated.

constitute one complete document.

                  15. None of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall
be deemed to create a partnership between or among the parties hereto in their

                  17. The parties acknowledge that the parties and their counsel
have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of
construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the
drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or
any exhibits or amendments hereto.

                  18. This Agreement cannot be changed orally or by course of
conduct, and no executory agreement, oral agreement or course of conduct shall
be effective to waive, change, modify or discharge it in whole or in part unless
the same is in writing and is signed by the party against whom enforcement of
any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.

                  19. Grantor and Grantee agree and acknowledge that, except as
expressly set forth herein, there are no intended third party beneficiaries of
this Agreement nor any of the rights and privileges conferred herein.

                  20. In the event of any assignment, transfer, conveyance or
sale, once or successively, of all of the right, title and interest of a Grantor
in and to the Easement Area, said Grantor making such assignment, transfer,
conveyance or sale shall be entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and

Credit Agreement is $3,500,000 and (ii) aggregate principal amount of Term Loans

         by Wakefield's lease of the Pelham, New Hampshire facility following
         Wakefield's consummation of a sale-leaseback thereof, it being
         understood that such amount shall not include any operating expenses
         for which Wakefield is liable under such lease, including taxes,
         utilities, maintenance and insurance."

                  "`Permitted Stock Repurchases': repurchases by the Borrower of

         consideration) paid for such stock in any Fiscal Year of the Borrower
         shall not exceed the lesser of $250,000 and Available Excess Cash Flow

         than the amount of the Reduction Installment due on September 30, 2002
         (such difference, the "Shortfall"), such $4,250,000 limit shall not
         apply to the extent the proceeds of Revolving Loans borrowed on such
         date are applied to fund such Shortfall, subject in any event to the
         Borrowing Base and the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment),".

to read as follows:

         "(d) In the event that at the end of any fiscal quarter of the Borrower

Prepayment Amount; provided, further that the foregoing reference to 90% shall

facility located in Pelham, New Hampshire and thereafter directly lease back the

basis and in a form and on terms satisfactory to the Agent and the Majority
Lenders), provided that (a) such sale is made in accordance with the last
sentence of Section 6.5 and (b) the Borrower has delivered a Landlord Consent

any provision of Section 6: or."

         (s) Exhibits J-1 and J-2 to the Credit Agreement are hereby deleted and
replaced with Exhibit J attached hereto.

         SECTION 2. Agreement and Waiver.

         (a) Prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment, Section 2.2(d) of the
Credit Agreement required the Borrower to make a $5,000,000 Reduction
Installment on September 30, 2002. The Borrower failed to make such Reduction
Installment. As a result of such noncompliance, an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing under the Credit Agreement. At the Borrower's request, the
Lenders agree to waive such Event of Default if such Reduction Installment is
received no later than October 1, 2002, and subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein.

         (b) Section 7(A) of the Warrant Agreements provides that no later than
45 days following the Issue Date (as defined therein), the Borrower will file a
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to effect the
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of the shares of
common stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of such Warrant Agreements and
will cause such registration statement to become effective (the "Registration
Effective Date") as a shelf registration no later than 90 days after the Issue
Date (as defined therein). As part of the Second Amendment and with respect to
the Warrant Agreements dated as of January 28, 2002, the Lenders agreed to
provide an additional 30 days after each such compliance date, subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in the Second Amendment. Pursuant to a letter
agreement dated April 22, 2002, the Registration Date was again extended to June
10, 2002. The Borrower failed to cause its registration statement to become
effective by such date, resulting in an Event of Default under the Credit
Agreement. As part of the Third Amendment, the Lenders agreed to waive such
Event of Default, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein and
provided that that the Borrower (i) filed its amended registration statement for
the Warrant Agreements on a date not later than February 4, 2003 and (ii) caused
such registration statement to become effective as a shelf registration on a
date not later than March 31, 2003. The Borrower has informed the Lenders that
it will be unable to cause such registration statement to become effective as a
shelf registration by March 31, 2003. At the Borrower's request, the Lenders
agree to extend the date by which such registration statement must become
effective to a date not later than March 31, 2004.

         (c) The foregoing waiver and agreement is given in this instance only.
The foregoing waiver and agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of or
consent to any violation of, or deviation from, any other term or condition of
the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor shall such waiver or
agreement be construed to evidence the willingness of the

                                       7
<PAGE>
Agent or the Lenders to give any other or additional waiver or agreement,
whether in similar or different circumstances.

         SECTION 3. Conditions Precedent. This Amendment shall become effective
as of the date first set forth above upon receipt by the Agent of the following:

         (a) this Amendment, duly executed by the Borrower and the Lenders;

         (b) evidence of the Guarantors' consent to this Amendment,

manufacturing facility in Pelham, New Hampshire from 33 Bridge Street, LLC, a
Nevada limited liability company ("33 Bridge Street"), following the sale and
lease back contemplated in Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement, along with a
copy of the guarantee, if any, executed by the Borrower in connection therewith;

         (d) a Landlord Consent, duly executed by 33 Bridge Street, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Agent;

         (e) resolutions of the board of directors of the Borrower, authorizing

         (f) the Net Proceeds, in immediately available funds, of the sale of
the Pelham facility, as contemplated in Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement;

         (g) an amendment fee equal to twenty basis points on the outstanding
principal amount of the Loans (assuming that the Reduction Installment that is
payable no later than October 1, 2002 has been paid), in immediately available
funds, to be shared pro rata by the Lenders executing this Amendment on or
before the date hereof, and all outstanding fees and expenses of the Agent
including legal fees incurred in connection with the negotiation, drafting and
execution of this Amendment to the extent requested by the Agent to be paid in
connection herewith; and

         (h) such other documents, agreements and opinions as the Agent or any
Lender may request.

         SECTION 4. Reference to and Effect on the Credit Agreement and the
Other Loan Documents.(a) Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, each
reference in the Credit Agreement to "this Agreement," "hereunder," "hereof" or
words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in
the other Loan Documents to "the Credit Agreement," "thereunder," "thereof" or
words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a

not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Agent or the
Lenders under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents, nor constitute a
waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents,
except as specifically set forth herein.

         SECTION 5. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower hereby
represents and warrants, for the benefit of the Lenders and the Agent, as

law and under its charter documents to execute, deliver and perform this

appropriate for the Borrower to execute, deliver and perform this Amendment, and
to perform the Credit Agreement as amended hereby, have been taken and/or

Amendment, constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower
enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof; (iv) the execution,
delivery and performance of this Amendment, and the performance of the Credit
Agreement, as amended hereby, will not (a) violate or contravene any material
Requirement of Law, (b) result in any material breach or violation of, or
constitute a material default under, any agreement or instrument by which the
Borrower or any of its property may be bound, or (c) result in or require the
creation of any Lien upon or with respect to any properties of the Borrower,
whether such properties are now owned or hereafter acquired; (v) the
representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and the other
Loan Documents are correct in all material respects on and as of the date of
this Amendment, after giving effect to the same, as though made on and as of
such date; and (vi) except as discussed in Section 2(a) of this Amendment, no
Default has occurred and is continuing.

         SECTION 6. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in
any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be
an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the
same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this
Amendment by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Amendment.

         SECTION 7. Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA (WITHOUT
