Ladies and Gentlemen;
Reference is made to that certain letter dated December 16, 2004, sent you by Bank (the “December 16, 2004 Letter”) notifying you of its awareness of a Change of Control resulting from Xxxxxx Xxxxxx ceasing to be the Chief Executive Officer of Borrower (the “Xxxxxx Change of Control”).

You have requested that Bank continue to extend Revolving Credit Advances under the Loan Agreement. Without waiving any Default or Event of Default now existing or hereafter arising under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any of Bank’s rights and remedies under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents resulting from the Xxxxxx Change of Control, Bank agrees to continue to extend Revolving Credit Advances under the Loan Agreement subject to the following:

3. All Revolving Credit Advances, and requests thereof, shall be made in accordance with, and subject to, the terms set forth in the Loan Agreement;
4. The aggregate amount of all Revolving Credit Advances and Letter of Credit Liabilities at any time outstanding shall not exceed $1,200,000 of which $615,071.18 is currently outstanding;
5. Borrower and each other Obligated Party shall have executed and delivered to Bank the Ratification and Release Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A;

7. Bank shall have received a certificate of incumbency of Borrower and each Obligated Party certified by their respective Secretary or an Assistant Secretary certifying the names of the officers of Borrower and such Obligated Party authorized to sign the Loan Documents, including without limitation, the Ratification and Release Agreement, to which Borrower or such Obligated Party is or is to be a party (including the certificates contemplated herein) together with specimen signatures of such officers; and
