RIVIERA TOOL COMPANY
5460 Executive Parkway
Grand Rapids, MI 49512
Attention: Peter C. Canepa, Chief Financial Officer

     Re: Amended and Restated Overadvance Side Letter Ladies and Gentleman:

     Reference is hereby made to that certain Security Agreement dated as of May
17, 2005 by and among Riviera Tool Company, a Michigan corporation ("RTC"), such
other subsidiaries of RTC named in that certain Security Agreement or which
hereafter become a party thereto (collectively, the "Company") and Laurus Master
Fund, Ltd. ("Laurus") (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time,
the "Security Agreement") and that certain Overadvance Side Letter to RTC from
Laurus dated May 17, 2005 (the "Original Overadvance Letter"). This letter
hereby amends and restates the terms set forth in the Original Overadvance
Letter. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed them in the Security Agreement.

     In the Original Overadvance Letter, Laurus notified you of its decision to
exercise the discretion granted to it pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) of the
Security Agreement to make a Loan to the Company in excess of the Formula Amount
in effect on the date hereof in an aggregate principal amount equal to
$2,300,000 (the "Overadvance"). The Overadvance is hereby amended to an amount
equal to $1,550,000 (such amount, the "Amended Overadvance").

     Additionally, the Period (as such term is defined in the Original
Overadvance Letter) originally expired on September 14, 2005; however, Laurus
has periodically extended such period prior to the date hereof. The Period is
hereby additionally extended, and shall terminate on June 30, 2007 (such Period,
as so extended, the "Amended Period")

     During the Amended Period, Laurus hereby waives compliance with Section 3
of the Security Agreement, but solely as such provision relates to the immediate
repayment requirement for the Amended Overadvance; provided, however, that the
Company shall at all times be required to repay to Laurus all amounts in excess
of the then applicable Amended Overadvance immediately upon the occurrence of
such excess. Laurus further agrees that solely for such Amended Period (but not
thereafter), the Amended Overadvance shall not trigger an Event of Default under
Section 19(a) of the Security Agreement. The Company hereby acknowledges and
agrees that at all times when the Amended Overadvance is outstanding (including
during the Amended Period) the Company shall be responsible for paying the
additional fee set forth in Section 5(b)(ii) of the Security Agreement. All
other terms and provisions of the Security Agreement and the Ancillary
Agreements remain in full force and effect.

     This letter may not be amended or waived except by an instrument in writing
signed by the Company and Laurus. This letter may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which, when taken
together, shall constitute one agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page
of this letter by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart hereof or thereof, as the case may be. This letter
shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
New York. This letter sets forth the entire agreement between the parties hereto
as to the matters set forth herein and supersede all prior communications,
written or oral, with respect to the matters herein, including, without
limitation, the Original Overadvance Letter

     If the foregoing meets with your approval please signify your acceptance of
the terms hereof by signing below.

Supplement No. 3

MA&D 401(k) Plan

     1.1 Purpose. The purpose of this Supplement No. 3 is to set forth provisions
applicable to individuals (“Former MA&D Participants”) who were previously participants in the MA&D
401(k) Plan (“MA&D Plan”) immediately before the acquisition of Micro Analysis & Design, Inc. by
the Company and who became participants in the Plan on May 20, 2006 (“MA&D Plan Merger Date”) as
provided in Section 1.4 below. Except to the extent expressly modified by this Supplement No. 3,
the provisions of the Plan shall apply to the participation of such Former MA&D Participants as of
the date assets are transferred from the MA&D Plan to this Plan.

     1.2 Former MA&D Participants. A Participant shall include any former employee whose
account under the MA&D Plan was transferred to the Plan.

     1.3 Employment Commencement Date. In no event shall a Former MA&D Participant’s
Employment Commencement Date be before the MA&D Plan Merger Date.

     1.4 Participation. A Former MA&D Participant who is an Eligible Employee on the MA&D
Plan Merger Date shall become a Participant in the Plan as of such date. Such a Former MA&D
Participant shall become eligible to contribute to the Plan as of the first day of the first
payroll period beginning on or after the MA&D Plan Merger Date. For purposes of determining
eligibility for Matching Contribution and any Profit Sharing Contribution, a Former MA&D
Participant’s Period of Service shall include his or her service with MA&D as of the MA&D Plan
Merger Date. For purposes of determining the amount of any Matching Contribution and any Profit
Sharing Contribution for the Plan Year ending September 30, 2006, a Former MA&D Participant’s
Compensation shall only include amounts paid by the Company after the later of the MA&D Plan Merger
Date or the date on which such person satisfies the eligibility requirements for such contribution.

     1.5 Mapping of Investments. Except as provided in Section 5.1(j) of the Plan, a
Former MA&D Participant’s account under the MA&D Plan which is transferred to this Plan shall be
invested in the Non ESOP Component Funds that the ESOP Committee, or its delegate, determines most
closely resemble the investment funds under the MA&D Plan in which such account was invested
immediately before the transfer.

     1.6 Diversification. For purposes of Plan Section 5.2, a Former MA&D Participant’s
Period of Participation shall not include the period of time during which he or she participated in
the MA&D Plan. For purposes of Plan Section 5.2, a Former MA&D Participant’s “years of employment”
shall not include his or her employment with MA&D Analysis & Design, Inc.

     1.7 Vesting. A Former MA&D Participant who is an Employee on the MA&D Plan Merger
Date shall be fully vested in his or her account balances under the MA&D Plan.

     If a Former MA&D Participant who was not an Employee on the MA&D Plan Merger Date is merged
into this Plan is reemployed by the Employer or an Affiliate without incurring a five-year Period
of Severance —

2

 

	 	(a)	 	the amount of his or her forfeitures of account balances attributable to the
MA&D Plan shall be restored to his or her Account as of the last day of the Plan Year
in which he or she is reemployed and shall be deducted from forfeitures which otherwise
would be allocable for such year or, to the extent such forfeitures are insufficient,
shall require a supplemental contribution from the Employer; and
	 
	 	(b)	 	such restored amounts will be fully vested upon restoration.

     1.8 Normal Retirement Age. The Normal Retirement Age for a Former MA&D Participant
with respect to account balances under the Non ESOP Component shall be age 60.

     1.9 In-Service Withdrawals. A Former MA&D Participant may withdraw from the Non ESOP
Component any portion or all of his or her account under the MA&D Plan which is transferred to this
Plan on or after attainment of age fifty-nine and one-half (591/2). In addition, a Former MA&D
Participant may withdraw from the Non ESOP Component: (a) any portion or all of his or her MA&D
Rollover Account at any time; and (b) any portion or all of his or her MA&D Pre-Tax Contributions
Account (excluding earnings) and MA&D Rollover Account in the event of a hardship in accordance
with the terms and conditions prescribed in Sections 8.1 and 8.3.

     1.10 Merger of MA&D Plan. All accrued benefits under the MA&D Plan shall become
accrued benefits under this Plan.
