    First Amendment to the 2005
Stock Awards Plan

    

    Effective
February 7, 2008

    

    

    The
undersigned, being all of the directors of Synalloy Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the “Corporation”) do hereby consent to and adopt the following
First Amendment to the 2005 Stock Awards Plan (the “Plan”) and direct that this
First Amendment be added to the minutes of the Corporation as action taken by
the Board of Directors in lieu of an organizational meeting.

    

    WHEREAS, the Corporation desires to
amend the Plan in compliance with the recently enacted Internal Revenue Code
Section 409A and associated federal regulations.

    

    NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the Board of Directors of the Corporation
hereby agrees as follows:

    

    1.            Amendments.  The
Plan is hereby amended as of February 7, 2008, in the following
respects:

     

    

    A.           Section
6.D of the Plan is deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows:

    

    
      	
              D.  

            	
              Sale or
      Merger.  Notwithstanding the vesting schedule set forth
      in Section 6.A above, 50% of the total number of unvested shares will vest
      in the  event that there is either (i) the acquisition of more
      than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities of the
      Company or a subsidiary or division of the Company in which the employee
      is employed (calculated on a fully diluted basis) by any person during any
      consecutive 12-month period of time; or (ii) the sale of more than fifty
      percent (50%) in value of the assets of the Company over any consecutive
      12-month period of time.

            

    

        

        B. The third
sentence of Section 6.E of the Plan is deleted in its entirety and replaced as
follows:

    

    Upon
vesting of any portion of a stock award, certificates evidencing the vested
shares shall be delivered to the employee.  In addition, in the event
that, following the grant of the stock award to an employee, the Company has
made any distribution to shareholders of the Company in connection with their
ownership of the stock, such employee shall be paid, upon vesting of any portion
of a stock award, a sum equal to the cumulative distribution(s) associated with
the vested stock from the date of the grant of the stock award through the date
of vesting of any portion of the stock award.

    

        C. The
following provision is inserted as a new subsection F contained in Section 6 of
the Plan.

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              F.

            	
              Fair Market
      Value.  Upon the vesting of shares pursuant to this stock
      award, the Committee shall determine, in good faith and in its best
      judgment, the value of each share currently vested, which under no
      circumstance shall be less than fair market value.  For such
      purposes, if the shares are listed on a national securities exchange at
      the time of the granting of the stock award, then the fair market value
      per share shall be not less than the average of the highest and lowest
      selling price on such  exchange as of the date that such stock
      award is vested, or if there were no sales on said date, then the price
      shall not be less than the mean between the bid and the ask price on such
      date.  If the shares are traded otherwise than on a national
      securities exchange at the time of the vesting of the stock award, then
      the price per share shall not be less than the mean between the bid and
      the asked price on the date of the vesting of the stock award, or if there
      is no such bid and asked price on said date, then on the next prior
      business day on which there was a bid and asked price.  If no
      such bid and asked price is available, then the price per share shall be
      determined by the Committee.

            

    

    

    3. Reaffirmation.  The
Plan shall remain otherwise in full force and effect and unchanged.

    

    4. Counterparts.  This
First Amendment to the Plan may be executed in any number of identical
counterparts, any or all of which may contained the signatures of fewer than all
of the parties but all of which shall be taken together as a single
instrument.consultcontract.htm

                1.Communication
      Intelligence Corporation (the "Company" or “CIC”) wishes to obtain your
      services as a consultant on projects agreed by you and the Company in
      writing.  The initial project on which you are to work is
      described in Exhibit A attached hereto.  This letter shall
      constitute an agreement ("the Agreement") between you and the Company and
      contains all the terms and conditions relating to the services you are to
      provide.  All work shall be work made for hire.
  

              

      

       

      
        	
                 

              	
                2.Either
      you or the Company may terminate this Agreement at any time by at least
      thirty (30) days prior written notice.

              

      

       

      
        	
                 

              	
                3.As
      consideration for your services and other obligations you will be paid at
      the rate set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto for work on the project.
      

              

      

       

      
        	
                 

              	
                4.
      It is agreed that you will use your own office space, supplies, tools,
      materials and office supplies. 

              

      

       

      
        	
                 

              	
                5.You
      shall be reimbursed for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses
      incurred by you in connection with your services under this Agreement,
      provided that you provide receipts and obtain prior approval of the
      officer of the Company named on Exhibit A (the "Responsible Officer") for
      such expenses. Expenses including, but not limited to, professional
      association membership fees, education, compensation to subcontractors and
      the cost of appropriate business insurance are not reimbursable by the
      Company as they are considered expenses incurred in maintaining a
      consulting business. 

              

      

       

      
        	
                 

              	
                6.Your
      relationship with the Company shall be that of an independent contractor
      and not that of an employee. You will not be eligible for any employee
      benefits, nor will the Company make deductions from your fees nor make
      payment for social security, state or federal income tax, state or federal
      unemployment insurance, or disability insurance, all of which shall be
      your responsibility. The Company will not obtain workers' compensation
      insurance for you. You shall have no authority to enter into contracts
      which bind the company or create obligations on the part of the Company
      without the express prior written authorization of the Company.
      

              

      

       

      
        	
                 

              	
                7.All
      services to be performed by you will be as agreed between you and the
      Responsible Officer of the Company. There will be no supervision exercised
      over the details, means or process of your work and the Company does not
      retain the right to control these details. You shall report to the
      Responsible Officer concerning your services performed under this
      Agreement. The nature and frequency of these reports will be left to the
      discretion of the Responsible Officer. This Agreement will have no formal
      reporting requirements except as to the progress of the project, which may
      be subject to a deadline.

                8.Consultant
      acknowledges that in connection with this Agreement it will receive
      information confidential and proprietary to CIC. Consultant agrees not to
      use such information except in the performance of this Agreement, and not
      to disclose such information to any other party except for the purposes
      hereof and only to a party bound by like obligations of confidentiality.
      

              

      

       

      
        	
                 

              	
                9.Neither
      Consultant nor any of its Associates shall remove any CIC property from
      CIC's premises without the prior written consent of CIC. All Deliverables,
      established by this agreement, shall be the sole property of CIC, and
      Consultant hereby assigns to CIC all right, titles and interest in and to
      the Deliverables, including but not limited to all patent rights,
      copyrights (including audio-visual copyrights), trade secret rights and
      copyrights to future projects. During and after the term of this
      Agreement, Consultant shall assist CIC and its nominees in every
      reasonable way, at CIC's expense, to document, secure, maintain and defend
      for CIC's own benefit in any and all countries all copyrights (including
      audio-visual copyrights), patent rights, trade secret rights and other
      proprietary rights in and to the Deliverables. Consultant at CIC's request
      will execute whatever documents are necessary to secure CIC's rights in
      proprietary information including copyrights.

              

      

       

      
        	
                 

              	
                10.The
      Company understands that you do not presently perform or intend to
      perform, during the term of this Agreement, consulting or other services
      for any other companies where your service might represent a conflict of
      interest to CIC (except for the companies, if any, listed in Exhibit B
      attached hereto). If, however, you decide to do so, you agree to notify
      the Company in writing in advance (specifying the organization with which
      you propose to consult) and provide information sufficient to allow the
      Company to determine if such consulting would conflict with areas of
      interest to the Company or further services which the Company might
      request of you pursuant to this Agreement.

              

      

       

      
        	
                 

              	
                11.Provided
      it does not materially interfere with your performance under this
      Agreement, and subject to the notice provision of paragraph 10, you may,
      during the term of this Agreement, render services on your own account or
      for any other person or entity as a consultant.

              

      

       

      
        	
                 

              	
                12.You
      shall obtain business liability insurance and workers' compensation
      insurance, if required by law, covering yourself and/or your employees
      during the term of this Agreement. You may select the carrier for these
      insurance policies. You shall pay the premiums for these insurance
      policies and these premiums shall not be reimbursable by the Company.
      

              

      

       

      
        	
                 

              	
                13.You
      are advised to seek independent tax and legal advice concerning this
      Agreement and are not relying on any tax, legal or other advice concerning
      this Agreement from the Company or from any other firms providing
      professional services for the Company.

      amendment to this Agreement must be in writing signed by you and the
      Company. 

              

      

       

      
        	
                 

              	
                15.All
      notices, requests and other communications called for by this Agreement
      shall be deemed to have been given if made in writing and mailed, postage
      prepaid if to you at the address set forth above and if to the Company to
