Exhibit 10.4

LOAN EXTENSION AND MODIFICATION AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, (“Agreement”) made on November 30, 2011, at Canton, Ohio, by and among Magnetech Industrial Services, Inc. (“Magnetech”), an Indiana corporation, and MISCOR Group, Ltd. (“MISCOR”), an Indiana corporation, both with an address at 000 Xxxx Xxxx, XX, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxx 00000 (collectively, “Borrowers”, and sometimes individually a “Borrower”) and XGen III, Ltd. (“Lender”), an Ohio limited liability company with an address at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxx 00000.

RECITALS:

A. On or about November 30, 2007, Borrowers and Lender closed on a transaction (the “Transaction”) in which, among other things, Borrowers became indebted, jointly and severally, to Lender in the amount of $2,000,000.00, as evidenced by Borrowers’ promissory note dated November 30, 2007, for the principal amount of $2,000,000.00, executed and delivered to Lender and payable to it or its order, which contained additional terms and provisions, which such note was amended and restated on December 1, 2010 (collectively, the “Note”).

B. Borrowers’ indebtedness to Lender as of the date hereof under all of the terms of the Note is $2,000,000.00, plus any interest accrued on the Note since Borrowers’ last payment of interest on the Note. Borrowers are not delinquent on payment of interest.

C. As used in this Agreement, the term “Indebtedness” will mean Borrowers’ indebtedness to Lender under the Second Amended Note (defined herein) – including principal, interest, and all other amounts which Borrowers now and in the future may owe to Lender under the terms of the Second Amended Note – together with any additional amounts Borrowers and either of them may owe now or in the future to Lender pursuant to the terms of any of the other documents the parties executed as a part of or in connection with the said closing of the Transaction or as a part of the Loan Modification (defined below), including this Agreement.

D. Borrowers wish to extend the time for Borrowers to repay the $2,000,000.00 presently owed to Lender in exchange for additional payments of principal, a first priority interest in certain collateral (subject to the prior interests of Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association (“Xxxxx Fargo”), and certain other changes (the “Loan Modification”).

AGREEMENT:

THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

1

1. Incorporation of Recitals. All of the recitals set forth above, including the definitions, are incorporated herein by reference.

2. Second Amendment and Restatement of Note. The Note will be amended and restated as set forth in the form of the Second Amended and Restated Promissory Note, labeled as Exhibit A, attached and incorporated herein by reference (the “Second Amended Note”).

3. Continued Effect of Intercreditor Agreement and Cross-Default. BDeWees, Inc. (“BDeWees”), an Ohio corporation, was also a party to the Transaction in 2007, received its own promissory note from Borrowers, entered into a commercial security agreement to secure said note, and filed a UCC-1 financing statement, just like Lender. In order to memorialize their respective rights and obligations, Lender and BDeWees entered into an Intercreditor Agreement dated November 30, 2007 (the “Intercreditor Agreement”). All provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the Loan Modification; provided, however, that references in the Intercreditor Agreement to the XGen Note, the XGen Security Agreement, the BDeWees Note, and the BDeWees Security Agreement will now refer to, respectively, the Second Amended Note, the BeDwees Note as amended in connection with loan modifications identical to those for Lender (BDeWees’s own loan extension and modification agreement with Borrowers, which contains those identical modifications, will sometimes be referred to herein as the “BDeWees Loan Modification”) and the XGen Security Agreement and the BDeWees Security Agreement, respectively, as amended. Any default under any one of the following four documents – the Second Amended Note, the XGen Security Agreement, as amended, the BDeWees Note as amended in connection with the BDeWees Loan Modification, and the BDeWees Security Agreement, as amended – shall also constitute a default under the remaining three of those documents.

4. Special Repayments Expected to Reduce Principal Payments. As a part of the Loan Modifications, Borrowers and Lender further agree that Borrowers shall be required to make certain extra payments of principal to Lender on the Second Amended Note (each a “Special Repayment”) as follows:

(a) Scheduled Special Repayments. Borrowers shall make Special Repayments on the dates and in the amounts set forth below:

(i) November 30, 2011- $316,666;

(ii) December 29, 2011- $300,000; and

(iii) No later than June 30, 2012- $250,000.

In addition to the Special Payments set forth in this subsection (a), Borrowers shall make regularly scheduled payments as more fully set forth in the Second Amended Note.

2

(b) Additional Special Repayment. An additional Special Repayment shall be owed in the circumstances described below.

“Change in Control”. At any time there is a Change of Control (as defined in this paragraph) of a Borrower as a result of or contemporaneously with an exchange or issuance of securities to one or more persons, Borrowers will be required to pay the then remaining principal balance (plus all then accrued but unpaid interest) under the Second Amended Note. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Change in Control” shall mean a situation (whether occasioned by issuance, sales, or transfers of a Borrower’s securities or by any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reorganization, or other transaction involving a Borrower) in which: (A) for Magnetech, MISCOR no longer holds record or beneficial ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of Magnetech’s outstanding capital stock and/or no longer possesses the voting power to elect directly a majority of Magnetech’s board of directors; and (B) for MISCOR, any person, company or organization, not a five percent (5%) or more shareholder as of the date of this Agreement, acquires record beneficial ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of MISCOR’s outstanding capital stock.

(c) Application and Effect of Special Repayment. Any Special Repayment shall be applied to reduce outstanding principal on the Second Amended Note; provided, however, that if Borrowers are at that time delinquent in any installment payment or other amount then owed under the Second Amended Note, the Special Repayment will be applied first to satisfy the delinquency and the balance, if any, will be applied to reduce outstanding principal. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Second Amended Note will be deemed to prevent or excuse any delinquency in making installment payments under the Second Amended Note, nor will any Special Repayment be deemed any type of prepayment of one or more monthly installment payments under the Second Amended Note. Except as expressly provided above in this subsection (iv), each Special Repayment shall be applied to principal payments in the inverse order of their due date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender acknowledges that payment of the foregoing Special Repayments shall be subject to the terms of a Subordination Agreement in favor of Xxxxx Fargo.

5. Lender’s Consent for Additional Indebtedness. Neither Borrower shall incur additional indebtedness in excess of the Permitted Indebtedness without the written consent of Lender given in advance which Lender may grant or withhold in the exercise of its sole discretion. For purposes of this Agreement the term “Permitted Indebtedness” shall mean (a)

3

amounts owed from time to time to Xxxxx Fargo pursuant to its revolving and term loan facility (including any obligations pursuant to letters of credit issued thereunder) in the maximum aggregate amount of $6,000,000, (b) existing notes and capital leases with (i) Centier in the amount of $103,697, (ii) Xxxxxxx-Xxxxxx in the amount of $100,671 and (iii) Visalia Equipment Lease in the amount of $868,279, (d) amounts owed to Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx (“Xxxxxxx”) in the amount of $2,078,841, (e) certain miscellaneous other capital leases in the amount of $18,778 and (f) indebtedness incurred for capital expenditures that do not exceed $100,000 in the aggregate per calendar year and is secured only by the capital asset acquired with the indebtedness.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, neither Borrower shall make any scheduled payment or prepayment of principal to Xxxxxxx on account of loans or other extensions of credit or any other financial accommodations or payment to Xxxxxxx (other than for reasonable compensation for services provided to a Borrower, including reasonable expenses), excepts as follows:

(A) $316,666 payment of principal on November 30, 2011;

(B) $120,000 payment of principal on December 29, 2011;

(C) $250,000 payment of principal, no later than June 30, 2012; and

(D) Commencing January 1, 2012, monthly payments of principal of $7,500 a month, increasing to $12,500 a month on January 1, 2013.

6. Effective Date. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date all of the following conditions precedent have been met, in the sole discretion of Lender:
