NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, it is agreed as follows:

In addition, Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is amended by adding or amending as the case may be, the following definitions:

“Interest Rate Margin” means, effective as of April 1, 2007, three percent (3.0%), provided, however, that, if no Event of Default then exists:

(i) if the Borrower’s Cash Flow for the six months ending June 30, 2007 is equal to or greater than $550,000, then the Interest Rate Margin shall equal two and one half percent (2.5%);

(ii) if the Borrower’s Cash Flow for the nine months ending September 30, 2007 is (a) equal to or greater than $1,360,000, then the Interest Rate Margin shall equal two percent (2.0%) and (b) equal to or greater than $550,000 but less than $1,360,000, then the Interest Rate Margin shall equal two and one half percent (2.5%); and

(iii) if the Borrower’s Cash Flow for the twelve months ending December 31, 2007 is (a) equal to or greater than $2,660,000, then the Interest Rate Margin shall equal one percent (1.0%), (b) equal to or greater than $2,160,000 but less than $2,660,000, then the Interest Rate Margin shall equal one and one half percent (1.5%), (c) equal to or greater than $1,360,000 but less than $2,160,000, then the Interest Rate Margin shall equal two percent (2.0%), and (d) equal to or greater than $550,000 but less than $1,360,000, then the Interest Rate Margin shall equal two and one half percent (2.5%).

Any increase in the Interest Rate Margin shall be effective on the first day of the month in which the Lender receives the Borrower’s monthly financial statements. Any decrease in the Interest Rate Margin shall be effective on the first day of the month following the month in which the Lender receives the Borrower’s monthly financial statements. If the Lender does not receive the Borrower’s monthly financial statements on the date that they are due, then the Interest Rate Margin shall equal three percent (3.0%), and shall be effective on the first day of that month.

If at any time the Interest Rate Margin has been decreased and any of the Borrower’s financial statements show that the Borrower was not entitled to such decrease, then the Interest Rate Margin shall be increased to the Interest Rate Margin to which the Borrower is entitled, such increase to be effective retroactively to the date of such decrease. If at any time the Interest Rate Margin has been decreased and an Event of Default occurs, then the Interest Rate Margin shall equal three percent (3.0%), and shall be effective on the first day of the month in which the Event of Default occurs.

“Maturity Date” means May 31, 2010.
