for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Agent”).

RECITALS

     A. PMFG, Inc. (“Holdings”), Peerless Mfg. Co. (the “Company”), PMC Acquisition, Inc. (“PMC

Credit Agreement), and acceptance by the Agent, from time to time, of a Credit Agreement Joinder
Agreement from such Subsidiary, collectively with the Company, PMC Acquisition and each such
Subsidiary, the “Borrowers” and each individually, a “Borrower”) are party to that certain
Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement dated April 30, 2008, with the financial institutions from
time to time signatory thereto (individually a “Lender,” and any and all such financial
institutions collectively the “Lenders”) and Agent (as amended or otherwise modified from time to
time, the “Credit Agreement”).

     B. Borrowers have requested that Agent and the Lenders consent to certain transactions and
make certain amendments to the Credit Agreement as set forth herein and Agent and the Lenders are
willing to do so, but only on the terms and conditions set forth in this First Amendment.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and

Agent and the Lenders agree as follows:

     1. Holdings has informed the Agent and the Lenders that it will enter into a Securities
Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers whose names are set
forth on the signature pages thereto (collectively, the “Investors” and each, individually, an
“Investor”) and related transaction documents (collectively with the Securities Purchase Agreement,
the “Equity Transaction Documents”) and plans to enter into the following transactions thereunder
(collectively, the “Equity Transaction”): Investors will purchase from Holdings up to $21,200,000
of Series A convertible preferred stock of Holdings and warrants exercisable into shares of
Holdings’ common stock. The Credit Parties will use all of the Net Cash Proceeds from the Equity
Transaction, together with cash on hand in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000, to prepay in full
the Mezzanine Subordinated Debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (the “Subordinated Debt
Prepayment”). Effective upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7 of this
First Amendment, the Lenders and Agent hereby (a) consent to the consummation of the Equity
Transaction, (b) acknowledge that the Net Cash Proceeds generated from the issuance and sale of
securities in connection with the Equity Transaction shall be used, and consent to the use of the
Credit Parties’ cash on hand (as aforesaid), to make the Subordinated Debt Prepayment, but only so
long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time that the
Subordinated Debt Prepayment is made, (c) waive the advance notice requirements of Section 7.7(e)
of the Credit Agreement arising out of or relating to the Equity Transaction, including the
amendment of Holdings’

 

 

organizational documents in connection with the Equity Transaction and (d) acknowledge and
agree that, for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Series A
convertible preferred stock (and each aspect and feature thereof), and the warrants, in each case,
issued and sold as part of the Equity Transaction (and Holdings’ obligations in respect of each
thereof) shall be deemed not to be (i) “Debt,” “Funded Debt,” or “Off Balance Sheet Liabilities”
within the meaning of each such term in the Credit Agreement or (ii) debt or liabilities for
purposes of calculating the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.9 of the Credit Agreement
regardless of the classification thereof in accordance with GAAP.

remedy of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any other agreement or
document, or any contract or instrument.

     THIS REINSTATEMENT INSTRUMENT (the “Instrument”) is made and entered into
on September 4, 2009, but effective as of July 1, 2009 (the “Effective Date”) among Income
Opportunity Realty Investors, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“IOT”), Syntek West, Inc., a Nevada
corporation (“SWI”), and Prime Income Asset Management LLC, a Nevada limited liability company
(“Prime”).

W I T N E S S E T H :

     WHEREAS, IOT and SWI are parties to that certain Advisory Agreement dated effective July 1,
2003 (the “SWI Advisory Agreement”) covering SWI’s service as a contractual advisor to IOT and its
Board of Directors to, among other things, locate, investigate, evaluate and recommend real estate
mortgage note investment and sales opportunities as well as financing and refinancing sources and
to serve as a consultant to the Board of Directors in connection with the business plans and
investment decisions by the Board;

     WHEREAS, on July 17, 2009, but effective as of July 1, 2009, IOT and SWI entered into that
certain Termination Agreement dated July 17, 2009, but effective July 1, 2009 (the “Termination
Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, the SWI Advisory Agreement was terminated by
mutual agreement;

     WHEREAS, unknown to IOT, SWI made an accommodation pledge of such SWI Advisory Agreement to
another entity as partial collateral for a judgement indebtedness of another entity which, if the
SWI Advisory Agreement were ultimately terminated, would inadvertently create potential damage to
such other entity;

     WHEREAS, in connection with and as a result of the Termination Agreement, IOT entered into an
Advisory Agreement with Prime on substantially the same terms and conditions as the SWI Advisory
Agreement, except for the replacement of SWI with Prime;

     WHEREAS, all of the parties to this Instrument now desire to (i) terminate in full the
Advisory Agreement dated July 17, 2009, effective July 1, 2009 between IOT and Prime, (ii)
reinstate in full the SWI Advisory Agreement as if same had never been terminated pursuant to the
Termination Agreement and (iii) excerpt for the reinstatement of the SWI Advisory Agreement,
continue the other matters under the Termination Agreement.

     ACCORDINGLY, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual promises, covenants,
representations and warranties contained herein, and on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, including the payment by SWI to IOT of
$1,000 and the corresponding payment by IOT to Prime of $1,000, the receipt, sufficiency and

     1. Adoption of Recitals. The parties hereto do hereby adopt and
confirm the
foregoing recitals in the same manner as if fully recopied herein for all purposes.

     2. Termination of Arrangements with Prime as to an Advisory

2009, but effective July 1, 2009, between IOT and Prime is hereby terminated ab initio
effective as at July 1, 2009 and as of such date, such agreement shall be of no further
force or effect. From and after the effective date of July 1, 2009, Prime shall have no
further duties or responsibilities to or under such Advisory Agreement executed by Prime and
IOT; provided, however, that any and all other agreements or arrangements to
which Prime and IOT are parties, shall continue in full force and effect.

     3. Reinstatement of SWI Advisory Agreement. All of the
signatories hereto
hereby mutually agree that the SWI Advisory Agreement is hereby reinstated in full effective
as at July 1, 2009, in the same manner as if same had never been terminated or modified in
any respect and further that any and all obligations of SWI Advisory Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect unaltered under such SWI Advisory Agreement until further
action by IOT and SWI.

     4. Parties in Interest. This Instrument constitutes the
entire agreement among
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matters hereof. Nothing in this Instrument
is intended to confer upon any other party other than the parties hereto and their

Instrument or any document referred to herein is for convenience of reference only and shall
not be construed as a part of this Instrument and shall not operate or be construed as

paragraph of this
Instrument be judicially or administratively declared to be invalid, unenforceable or void
under applicable state law or the laws of the United States of American or any agency or
subdivision thereof, such decision shall not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the
remainder of this Instrument and the parties hereto agree that the part or parts of this
Instrument so held to be invalid, unenforceable or void shall be deemed to have been deleted
