NOW, THEREFORE, in reliance upon the foregoing and in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Waiver. The Bank hereby waives the Borrower’s failure to comply with the financial covenant set forth in Section 5.1 of Schedule 1 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The foregoing waiver is effective solely as to this covenant for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 and shall not constitute a continuing waiver by the Bank of its rights under Section 5.1 of Schedule 1 or elsewhere in the Senior Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Bank’s waiver in this Section 1 shall not serve as a waiver of the Borrower’s failure to comply with the provisions of said Section 5.1 of Schedule 1 as of the end of any future quarter.

2. Consolidated Revenues Covenant. The existing Section 5.1 of Schedule 1 is hereby deleted and a new Section 5.1 of Schedule 1 is hereby added to read in full as follows:

“5.1 Minimum Consolidated Revenues. Borrower shall maintain minimum Consolidated Revenues on a rolling three-month basis (the first such three-month period being 10/1/03—12/31/03), measured by the Bank each month commencing on December 31, 2003, in the following amounts: (i) $16,500,000.00 for the period commencing on February 29, 2004 through June 30, 2004; and (ii) $18,500,000.00 for each three-month period thereafter through the Maturity Date. For purposes of this covenant, “Consolidated Revenues” shall mean the revenues of Borrower and its subsidiaries as reported to the Bank on a consolidated basis in Borrower’s monthly financial statements.”

3. Going Concern Qualification. A “going concern” qualification in an audit report in connection with the Borrower shall not be issued during the period commencing from the date hereof through the Maturity Date.

4. Waiver Fee. The Borrower will pay the Bank a waiver fee on the date hereof the amount of $25,000.00 (the “Waiver Fee”), which Waiver Fee shall be fully-earned and non-refundable upon payment.

5. Reaffirmation of Obligations. The Borrower reaffirms to the Bank that, as of the date hereof, the outstanding principal amount of all Loans under the Senior Loan Documents (including the face amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding under the Letter of Credit Sublimit) is $2,701,501.00. The Borrower acknowledges that the Senior Loan Documents fully and accurately reflect and constitute the valid and enforceable Obligations of the Borrower to the Bank, and the Borrower remains fully obligated to perform all covenants thereunder and has no defenses to or offsets against such Obligations.

Except to the extent expressly amended hereby, all of the terms and provisions of the Senior Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect, and the lien in favor of the Bank in the Collateral shall be and remain a fully perfected senior lien upon all of the Collateral pursuant to the terms of the Senior Loan Documents, it being the intent of the parties that nothing herein shall affect or impair the Bank’s rights or remedies under the Senior Loan Documents or its lien upon the Collateral. Henceforth, the term “Loan Documents” shall be deemed to mean the Senior Loan Documents as modified and supplemented by the terms of this Fourth Amendment, and any default of the Borrower hereunder shall constitute an Event of Default under the Senior Loan Documents.
