“Amendment”) is made and entered as of the 23rd day of February, 2012 by

— RECITALS —

          ISA
operates that certain scrap metal and paper recycling business located at 7100
Grade Lane,
Louisville, Kentucky 40213, which includes the equipment necessary for the
recovery of scrap metal and
paper waste and the computer systems and office equipment necessary to operate the businesses.

industries and the waste

consult regarding ISA’s businesses. The parties now desire to amend the Prior
Agreement in certain respects to reflect the decreased value of the consulting services that K&R is providing to
ISA.

Financial Covenant for the Fiscal Quarter ending on December 31, 2011 and (ii) Section

The waiver provided in this Section 2, either alone or together with

time, shall not, by course of dealing, implication or otherwise, obligate
Agent, LC Issuer and the Lenders to waive any Event of Default past, present or

Issuer or the Lenders from exercising any rights or remedies with respect to
any other Event of Default.

          3. Consultant;
Cash Flow Forecast. Borrowers hereby agree to continue to retain Consultant
(as defined in the Second Amendment) and to deliver the Cash Flow Forecast (as

          4. Reaffirmation
of Cross-Guaranties. Each of the Borrowers (collectively, the “Cross-Guarantors”)
hereby (i) confirms, ratifies and reaffirms its respective Cross-Guaranty and
(ii) acknowledges and agrees that no Cross-Guarantor is released from its
obligations under its respective Cross-Guaranty by reason of this Amendment and
that the obligations of each Cross-Guarantor under its respective
Cross-Guaranty extend to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as
amended by, or in connection with, this Amendment. This reaffirmation of each
Cross-Guarantor’s Cross-Guaranty shall not be construed, by implication or
otherwise, as imposing any requirement that Agent notify or seek the consent of
any Cross-Guarantor relative to any past or future extension of credit,
amendment or modification, extension or other action with respect thereto, in
order for any such extension of credit, amendment or modification, extension or
other action with respect thereto to be subject to a Cross-Guarantor’s
Cross-Guaranty, it being expressly acknowledged and reaffirmed that each
Cross-Guarantor has under its respective Cross-Guaranty consented, among others
things, to modifications, amendments, extensions and other actions with respect
thereto without any notice thereof or any further consent thereto. 

          5. Reaffirmation of Guaranty and Security.
As a condition of this Amendment, on the Effective Date, Borrowers will cause
each Guarantor to execute and deliver to Agent the Reaffirmation of Guaranty
and Security provided after the signatures below and incorporated by reference
herein.

          6. Additional Conditions; Other Documents.
As a condition of this Amendment, Borrowers will deliver to Agent, on or before
the execution of this Amendment, (i) a copy, certified by the Secretary of each
Borrower, of resolutions of the Board of Directors of Borrowers, authorizing
the execution of this Amendment and all other documents executed in connection
herewith, which certificate and resolutions will be in form and substance
acceptable to Agent; (ii) a copy, certified by the Secretary of each Guarantor
of resolutions of the sole member of each Guarantor authorizing the execution
of the Reaffirmation of Guaranty and Security and all other documents executed
in connection therewith, which certificate and resolutions will be in form and
substance acceptable to Agent; and (iii) such other documents, instruments, and
agreements deemed necessary or desirable by Agent to effect the amendments to
Borrowers’ credit facilities with Agent, LC Issuer and the Lenders contemplated
by this Amendment. 

          7. Reaffirmation
of Security. Borrowers and Agent, LC Issuer and the Lenders hereby
expressly intend that this Amendment shall not in any manner: (i) constitute
the refinancing, refunding, payment or extinguishment of the existing
Obligations as of the Effective Date; (ii) be deemed to evidence a novation of
the outstanding balance of the Obligations; or (iii) affect, replace, impair,
or extinguish the creation, attachment, perfection or priority of the Liens on
the Loan Collateral granted

pursuant to any of the Security Documents. Borrowers ratify and
reaffirm any and all grants of Liens to Agent in the Loan Collateral as
security for the Obligations, and Borrowers acknowledge and confirm that the
grant of the Liens to Agent in the Loan Collateral: (a) represent continuing
Liens on all of the Loan Collateral, (b) secure all of the Obligations, and (c)
represent valid, first and best Liens on all of the Loan Collateral except to
the extent, if any, of the Permitted Liens.

          8. Representations.
To induce Agent, LC Issuer and the Lenders to accept this Amendment, each
Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Agent, LC Issuer and the Lenders as
follows:

                    8.1

its obligations under and arising out of, this Amendment have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action.

                    8.2
This Amendment constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of each
Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

                    8.3
Each Borrower’s representations and warranties contained in the Credit
Agreement are complete and correct as of the Effective Date with the same
effect as though these representations and warranties had been made again on
and as of the Effective Date, subject to those changes as are not prohibited
by, or do not constitute Events of Default under, the Credit Agreement.

                    8.4
No Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreement,
other than the Existing Defaults.

          9. Costs
and Expenses; Covenant Waiver Fee. As a condition of this Amendment, (i)
Borrowers will pay to Agent a covenant waiver fee of $10,000, payable in full

          10.
Release. Borrowers hereby release Agent, LC Issuer and the Lenders from
any and all liabilities, damages and claims arising from or in any way related
to the Obligations or the Loan Documents, other than such liabilities, damages
and claims which arise after the execution of this Amendment. The foregoing
release does not release or discharge, or operate to waive performance by,
Agent, LC Issuer and the Lenders of its express agreements and obligations
stated in the Loan Documents on and after the Effective Date.

          11. Default.
Any default by Borrowers in the performance of Borrowers’ obligations under
this Amendment shall constitute an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.

          12. Continuing
Effect of the Credit Agreement. Except as expressly amended hereby, all of
the provisions of the Credit Agreement are ratified and confirmed and remain in
full force and effect.

          13. One
Agreement; References; Fax Signature. The Credit Agreement, as amended by
this Amendment, will be construed as one agreement. All references in any of
the Loan Documents to the Credit Agreement will be deemed to be references to
the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment. This Amendment may be signed
by facsimile signatures or other electronic delivery of an image file
reflecting the execution hereof, and if so signed, (a) may be relied on by each
party as if the document were a manually signed original and (b) will be
binding on each party for all purposes.

          14. Captions. The headings to the Sections of this
Amendment have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no
way modify or restrict any provisions hereof or be used to construe any such
provisions.

          15. Counterparts.
This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be
an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

          16. Entire
Agreement. This Amendment, together with the other Loan Documents, sets
forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter of

          2. The
undersigned has reviewed the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other
Loan Documents (collectively, the “Documents”) and has reviewed the
activities of the Credit Parties during the period from ____________, 20__, to
______________, 20__ (the “Subject Period”) with a view towards
determining whether, during the Subject Period, the Credit Parties have kept,
observed, performed and fulfilled all of their respective obligations under the
Documents.

          3. The
financial statements of the Credit Parties delivered to you concurrently
herewith (the “Financial Statements”)[,
while not examined by the Accountants,]
reflect [in the undersigned’s
opinion] all adjustments necessary
to present fairly, in all material respects, the Consolidated financial
position of the Credit Parties as at the end of the Subject Period and the
results of their operations for the Subject Period then ended in conformity
with GAAP consistently applied[,
subject only to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes].

 [Delete bracketed statements for Annual
Certificate.] 

          4. As of
the date of this Certificate, to the best of the undersigned’s knowledge, after
reasonable inquiry, no event has occurred which constitutes a Default or an
Event of Default. (If a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Schedule A contains a statement as to the nature thereof and
the action which the Credit Parties have taken or propose to take with respect
thereto).

          5. In
particular, the calculations shown on Schedule B attached hereto
demonstrate compliance with the Financial Covenants as set forth in Article
VII of the Credit Agreement. (If there is not compliance with any Financial
Covenant, Schedule B (i) lists the same and sets forth what action the
Credit Parties have taken or propose to take with respect thereto and (ii)
explains the variances of the figures in the Financial Statements from the
Projections). Schedule B attached hereto also describes and analyzes in
detail all material trends, changes, and development in each and all Financial
Statements.

          6. Attached
hereto as Schedule C are summaries of accounts payable agings,
Receivable agings, and Inventory, in each case reconciled to the Credit
Parties’ general ledger and Borrowing Base Certificate for the end of the
Subject Period.

          7. [Annual:] Attached hereto as Schedule D
are Projections of the Credit Parties for the period from ____________, 20___
to ______________, 20___. Schedule D states: (i) the assumptions on
which the Projections were prepared and (ii) that the assumptions, except as
otherwise noted on Schedule D, were prepared on a consistent basis with
the operation of the Credit Parties’ business during the immediately preceding
Fiscal Year and with factors known to exist as of the date of this Certificate
or anticipated to exist during the periods covered by the Projections. The
undersigned certifies that he or she has no reason to believe that the
Projections, subject to the assumptions stated on Schedule D, are false
or misleading in any material respect. The Credit Parties make no
representations or warranties regarding the accuracy of any projections,
predictions or other estimation of future events, or any information or data,
in each case, pertaining generally to the Credit Parties’ respective
industries.
