(hereinafter referred to as the “Borrower”); and Altreco, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the
“Guarantor”); and The F&M Bank & Trust Company (hereinafter referred to as the “Lender”).
Recitals:
A. On or about March 5, 2008, Lender renewed, modified and extended a certain revolving line
of credit loan (the “Loan”) to Borrower in the amount of $750,000.00
B. The Loan is governed in part by that certain First Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the
“Loan Agreement”), dated March 5, 2008, executed by Borrower, Guarantor and Lender.
C. The Loan is evidenced by that certain Revolving Line of Credit Promissory Note (Renewal)
(the “Note”), dated March 5, 2008, in the original principal amount of $750,000.00, signed by
Borrower and payable to the order of Lender.
D. The payment of the Note is guaranteed by the unlimited unconditional guaranty of the
Guarantor evidenced by that certain Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty”) of even date therewith
executed by the Guarantor.
E. The Note is secured by that certain Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) of even
date therewith executed by Borrower for the benefit of Lender, covering all of the personal
property assets of Borrower.
F. The Note was additionally secured by a Deed of Trust, Security Agreement and Assignment of

Borrower and Guarantor, to (i) extend the maturity date of the Note from March 5, 2009 to June 5,
2009; (ii) modify the payment terms of the Note as more particularly set forth herein; (iii)
modify the rate at
which interest accrues on the outstanding principal balance of the Note prior to
maturity; and (iv) increase the interest rate floor to 6% per annum in lieu of 5% per annum.

Article 1.
Amendments
Amendments
1.1. Modification of Payment Terms. The payment terms of the Note shall be amended
to (i) extend the maturity date of the Note from March 5, 2009 to June 5, 2009; and (ii) modify the
payment terms of the Note as more particularly set forth herein. Accordingly, the applicable
provision concerning repayment of principal and interest as set forth in the Note is hereby
modified to read as follows:
“The principal of and all accrued but unpaid interest on this Note shall be due and payable as
follows:
Subject to and in addition to the requirements for principal reductions to maintain
compliance with the Borrowing Base as set forth in the Loan Agreement, accrued but unpaid interest
only shall be due and payable on April 5, 2009 and May 5, 2009; and the entire outstanding
principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and
payable on June 5, 2009.”
1.2. Modification of Interest Rate. The rate at which interest accrues on the
outstanding principal balance of the Note prior to maturity shall be modified to accrue at the
floating rate of two percentage points (2%) above The Wall Street Journal Prime Rate,
subject to floor interest rate of six percent (6%) per annum, in lieu of floating at
three-fourths of a percentage point (.75%) above The Wall Street Journal Prime Rate,
subject to a floor interest rate of five percent (5%) per annum. Accordingly, the applicable
provisions of the Note discussing the accrual of interest prior to maturity shall be modified to
read as follows:
“Interest. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest prior
to maturity at a varying rate per annum equal from day to day to the lesser of (a) the maximum rate
permitted from day to day by applicable law (“Maximum Rate”), including as to Section 303.201 of
the Texas Finance Code and Article 1D.002 of the Texas Credit Code (and as the same may be
incorporated by reference in other Texas statutes), but otherwise without limitation, that rate
based upon the “indicated rate ceiling,” or (b) two percentage points (2%) above the Prime Rate
(herein defined) in effect from day to day based on a 360-day year and the actual number of days
elapsed, each such change in the rate of interest charged hereunder to become effective, without
notice to Maker, on the effective date of each change in the Prime Rate. The foregoing being in
all respects subject to the Floor Rate (defined below). All past due principal and interest shall
bear interest at the Maximum Rate. All payments shall be applied first to accrued but unpaid
interest and then to principal.
Prime Rate. As used herein, the term “Prime Rate” shall mean the Prime Rate then most
recently published in the Money Rates Section of The Wall Street Journal and described as
the prime or base rate of interest per annum on corporate loans posted by at least seventy-five
percent (75%) of the nation’s thirty (30) largest banks. In
Loan Modification Agreement — Page 2
the event The Wall Street Journal fails to publish such Prime Rate, or such Prime Rate ceases to exist for a period of
more than ninety (90) consecutive days, then the Base Rate of interest announced by Payee from time
to time shall be substituted in its place.
Interest Rate Floor. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Note
to the contrary, the outstanding principal balance of the Note shall never bear interest at
a rate less than six percent (6%) per annum, based on a 360-day year and the actual number
of days elapsed (the “Floor Rate”).”
