failure of individuals who are members of the board of directors (or similar governing body) of the Borrower on the Effective Date (together with any new or replacement directors whose initial nomination for election was approved by a majority of

 1.6 Section 8.12 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 
  
 Section 8.12. Dividends, Stock Purchases. The Borrower will not except as hereinafter provided:

Net Income for the period commencing April 1, 2003, and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the date of the making of the Restricted Payment in question, computed on a cumulative basis for said entire period (or if
such Consolidated Net Income is a deficit figure, then minus 100% of such deficit); provided that at all times after the Determination Date and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, Consolidated Tangible Net Worth exceeds
$95,000,000.

 D. All requirements of law have been fully
complied with and all other acts and things necessary to make this First Amendment a valid, legal and binding instrument according to its terms for the purposes herein expressed have been done or performed. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Purchaser, for good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, agree as follows: 
  
 SECTION 1. AMENDMENTS 
  
 1.
Section 5.9 of the Note Agreement shall be and is hereby amended by deleting the section in its entirety and replacing it to read as follows: 
  
 “Section 5.9. Permitted Indebtedness. The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, incur, create, issue, assume or

	 	(a)	Senior Debt; 

  

	 	(b)	Senior Subordinated Debt; 

  

	 	(c)	Junior Subordinated Debt; and 

  

	 	(d)	Debt incurred in connection with permitted Fixed Asset Financing.” 

  
  

 2. Section 5.11 of the Note Agreement is amended (i) by deleting the word “and” appearing in
the eighth line of clause (g) and (ii) deleting the period (.) at the end of clause (h) and replacing it with “; and.” Section 5.11 of the Note Agreement is further amended by adding the following clause at the end thereof:

to or cover any other property of the Company or any Subsidiary.” 
  
 3. Section 5.12 of the Note Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such section in its entirety and replacing it to read as follows: 
  
 “Section 5.12. Dividends, Stock Purchases. The Company will not except as hereinafter provided: 
  
 (a) Declare or pay any dividends, either in cash or
property, on any shares of its capital stock of any class (except dividends or other distributions payable solely in shares of capital stock of the Company); or 
  
 (b) Directly or indirectly, or through any Subsidiary, purchase, redeem or retire any shares of its capital
stock of any class or any warrants, rights or options to purchase or acquire any shares of its capital stock (other than in exchange for or out of the net cash proceeds to the Company from the substantially concurrent issue or sale of other shares
of capital stock of the Company or warrants, rights or options to purchase or acquire any shares of its capital stock); or 
  
 (c) Make any other payment or distribution, either directly or indirectly or through any Subsidiary, in respect of its capital stock; or

  
 (d) Make any payment of principal, interest
or premium on any Senior Subordinated Debt or Junior Subordinated Debt other than any regularly scheduled payment of principal or interest on the Senior Subordinated Debt or the Junior Subordinated Debt; (such declarations or payments of dividends,
purchases, redemptions or retirements of capital stock and warrants, rights or options, and all such other distributions and such payments on Senior Subordinated Debt and Junior Subordinated Debt being herein collectively called “Restricted
Payments”), if, after giving effect thereto, (i) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made during the period after March 31, 2003, to and including the date of the
making of the Restricted Payment in question, would exceed the sum of (x) $15,000,000, plus (y) the net cash proceeds received by the Company from the issuance or sale subsequent to March 31, 2003, of shares of common stock of the Company or
warrants, rights or options to purchase or acquire any share of its 

  

 2 

 
common stock, plus (z) 50% of Consolidated Net Income for the period commencing April 1, 2003, and ending on the last day of the fiscal quarter immediately
preceding the date of the making of the Restricted Payment in question, computed on a cumulative basis for said entire period (or if such Consolidated Net Income is a deficit figure, then minus 100% of such deficit); provided that at all
times after the Determination Date and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, Consolidated Tangible Net Worth exceeds $95,000,000. 
  
 For the purposes of this Section 5.12 the amount of any Restricted Payment declared, paid or distributed in property of the Company shall be deemed
to be the greater of the book value or fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company) of such property at the time of the making of the Restricted Payment in question. 
  
 The Company will not declare any dividend which constitutes a Restricted
Payment payable more than 60 days after the date of declaration thereof. 
  
 4. Section 8.1 of the Note Agreement hereby is amended by adding the following new defined term: 
  
 “Fixed Asset Financing” means the acquisition by the Company of one or more fixed assets in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,500,000,
which financing (x) shall amortize over time and not be subject to being re-borrowed and (y) may be secured by the fixed assets so acquired.
