RECITALS

A. Pursuant to the terms of a Commercial Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") between Bank and Original Borrower, dated as of August 31, 2005, Bank agreed to make a revolving line of credit in the principal sum of $17,000,000 (the “Line of Credit”) available to Original Borrower. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Loan Agreement, as amended.

B. The Line of Credit was evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”) of even date with the Loan Agreement, executed by Original Borrower in favor of Bank.

C. Original Borrower's indebtedness under the Loan Agreement was secured by assets of Original Borrower under a separate Security Agreement, dated August 31, 2005 (the “Security Agreement” executed by each entity comprising Original Borrower).

D. Under the terms of a Loan Modification Agreement, dated as of December 26, 2006, executed by Original Borrower and Bank (the “First Modification”), the Loan Agreement was amended.

E. Under a further Loan Modification Agreement, dated June 20, 2007, executed by Original Borrower, First Added Borrower, and Bank (the “Second Modification”), among other things, First Added Borrower became a Borrower under the Loan Agreement and became a party to the Security Agreement, Alternative Dispute Resolution Agreement, Designation of Deposit Accounts and Contribution Agreement which had previously been executed by Original Borrower. By the Second Modification, an amended note (the “Amended Note”) replaced the Note and there were amendments to a financial reporting covenant under the Loan Agreement.

F. Under a further Loan Modification Agreement, dated May 1, 2008, executed by Original Borrower, First Added Borrower, and Bank (the “Third Modification”), among other things, the Line of Credit Expiration Date was extended, the Line of Credit Limit was increased to $30,000,000.00, and financial covenants were adjusted. The Amended Note was replaced by a Second Amended Note (“Second Amended Note”) of the same date as the Third Modification.

G. In response to Borrower's request and in reliance upon Borrower's representations made to Bank in support thereof, Bank has agreed to modify the terms of the Loan Agreement as set forth in this Fourth Modification.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Borrower and Bank agree as follows:

1. Adoption of Recitals. Borrower hereby represents and warrants that each of the recitals set forth above is true, accurate and complete.

2. Acknowledgment of Debt. Borrower acknowledges that, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, there are no claims, demands, offsets or defenses at law or in equity that would defeat or diminish Bank's present and unconditional right to collect the indebtedness evidenced by the Amended Note and to proceed to enforce the rights and remedies available to Bank as provided in the Second Amended Note, Loan Agreement, Security Agreement, or any other instrument, agreement, or document given in connection with the Line of Credit (collectively the “Loan Documents”) or by law. Until the Line of Credit is paid in full, interest and other charges shall continue to accrue and shall be due and owing.

3. Representations and Warranties. Borrower hereby represents and warrants that no material default exists under the Line of Credit and no event of default, breach or failure of condition has occurred or exists, or would exist with notice or lapse of time, or both, under any of the Loan Documents that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change, and all representations and warranties of Borrower in this Fourth Modification and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Fourth Modification (other than any such representations and warranties that, by their terms, are specifically made as of a date other than the date hereof) and shall survive the execution of this Fourth Modification.
