      DESCRIPTION
OF EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS. Revolving Line of Credit in the original amount
of $500,000.00 as evidenced by that certain Promissory Note and Related
Documents dated January 19, 2001; as amended and increased by Change in Terms
and currently maturing November 30, 2009 and in the amount of
$1,700,000.

       

      DESCRIPTION
OF CHANGE IN TERMS.

      1) Maturity
date of Loan and Related Documents is extended to February 28,
2010;

       

      2) Loan
amount is decreased to $1,500,000.00;

       

      3) The
'Base Interest Rate' of the note will be determined by: adding the "Base Margin"
to the rate "Index" and adding or subtracting each Rate Adjustment Factor
("RAF"), as further described below:

       

      The
Index is Lender's Prime Rate. This is the rate Lender charges, or would charge,
on 90-day unsecured loans to the most creditworthy corporate customers. This
rate may or may not be the lowest rate available from Lender at any given time.
Lender will tell Borrower the current index rate upon Borrower's request. The
Index will not change more often than each time prime changes. Borrower
understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. The index
currently is 3.750% per annum.

       

      The
'Base Margin' is 3.75% and is not subject to change during the
period.

       

      There
are three RAF's which are to be determined by the bank in its sole authority
based on the Borrower's monthly financial reporting prepared on a GAAP basis and
submitted within 30 days of month end. If the Borrower fails to report the
financial information for that period, the highest RAF will apply and default
interest may also apply. The RAFs will be determined based on the October 31,
2009 financial statements and the note rate will change effective November 1,
2009.

       

      Upon
default, Lender at its option may further increase the rate on the note to 5.0%
above the Base Interest Rate in effect at that time.

       

      Each
month the Rate Adjustment Factors will reset effective as of the 1st day of the
month following the subject reporting period, and will be based on the following
schedule:

       

      Debt
Service Coverage ("DSC"): Defined as Earnings Before Interest, Taxes,
Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) divided by Current Maturities of
Long-Term Debt (CMLTD) proportional to the corresponding EBITDA period, plus
period interest expenses

      Quarterly
DSC less than 1.2X, but greater than or equal to 1.0X = 1.0%
subtraction

      Quarterly
DSC greater than or equal to 1.2X but less than 1.5X = 2.0%
subtraction

      Quarterly
DSC greater than or equal to 1.5X = 2.25% subtraction

       

      Debt
to Worth: Defined as Total Liabilities divided by Total
Equity

      Monthly
Debt to Worth below 3.0X = 0.25% subtraction

      Monthly
Debt to Worth greater than or equal to 3.0X and less than 4.0X = no change
Monthly Debt to Worth greater than or equal to 4.0X and less than 5.0X = 1.0%
addition Monthly Debt to Worth greater than or equal to 5.0X and less than 6.0X
= 2.0% addition

       

      Current
Ratio ("CR"): defined as Current Assets divided by Current Liabilities Monthly
CR greater than or equal to 1.0X and less than 1.1X = 2.0% addition Monthly CR
greater than or equal to 1.1X and less than 1.2X = 1.0% addition Monthly CR
greater than or equal to 1.2X and less than 1.4X = no rate adjustment Monthly CR
greater than or equal to 1.4X = 0.25% subtraction

       

      For
example: The bank has determined the following based on the 10/31/09 financials:
DSC was negative, Debt to Worth was 3.98, and CR was 1.1; thus the Rate
Adjustment Factors result in an addition of 1%. This would be added to the Base
Margin, resulting in a note rate of SBP Prime +4.75%, effective as of 11/1/09.
In no case will the combination of the Rate Adjustment Factors reduce the
interest rate by more than 2.75%.

       

      4) The
existing Guaranty Agreements dated January 19, 2001, for Leroy D. Nott and Scott
D. Olmstead, are hereby replaced by the same documents, for Leroy D. Nott and
Scott D. Olmstead, dated the date of this agreement;

       

      5) The
existing Business Loan Agreement. dated January 19, 2001, is hereby replaced
with the Asset Based Loan Agreement dated the date of this
agreement;

       

      6) Borrower
agrees to execute and return the Default and Forbearance Agreement dated
December 17, 2009 and acknowledges that all terms and conditions within that
agreement remain in full force and effect;

       

      7) The
following will be due upon execution of this Agreement:
