(i) The first paragraph is hereby amended to read as follows:
Upon the earlier of (a) October 1, 2011, or (b) in accordance with a certain Revolving Loan and Security Agreement dated February 12, 2008, or as it may be subsequently amended, signed by the undersigned as "Borrower" ("Loan Agreement") FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned "Borrower" jointly and severally promises to pay to the order of SOVEREIGN BANK (the "Lender"), at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx XX 00000, the principal sum of Four Million ($4,000,000.00) Dollars or the amount actually outstanding and unpaid pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

- 3 -
(ii) The first sentence of Section 1.1(b) is hereby amended to read as follows:
1.1(b) The term "Advance Limit" means the loans or advances which Lender may make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement which are not in the aggregate at any time outstanding to exceed the lesser of Four Million ($4,000,000.00) Dollars or the sum of (A), (B) and (C) below:
(iii) Section 1.3(a) is hereby amended to read as follows:
1.3(a) Interest accrues on the Revolving Loan (and on the portion of which designated as payable on a non-principal amortizing term basis consistent with Section 1.1(a) hereof and the Term Loan Note dated February 12, 2008) at the greater of (i) eight (8%) percent per annum or (ii) Lender's floating Prime Rate (as that term is defined in this Agreement) plus four percent (4.0%) per annum. In no event is the interest rate to be less than eight percent (8%) per annum.
(iv) Section 7.16 is hereby amended to read as follows:
Section 7.16 Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
The Borrower is not to cause or permit its Fixed Charge coverage ratio on a rolling nine month basis for the quarter ending June 30, 2010 to be less than 1.05:1. The Fixed Charge coverage ratio will not be tested by Lender for the quarter ending September 30, 2010. The Borrower is not to cause or permit its Fixed Charge coverage ratio for the quarter ending December 31, 2010 on a trailing three month basis, for the quarter ending March 31, 2011 on a trailing nine month basis, for the quarter ending June 30, 2011 on a trailing twelve month basis, and thereupon for each quarter thereafter based on a trailing 12 month basis, tested quarterly, to be less than 1.05:1. Fixed Charge is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") (including an add back for non-cash stock based compensation) less the sum of: cash taxes; cash capital expenditures; any cash dividends, distributions or loans, and other cash payments not captured on the current profit and loss statement, divided by principal payments on term debt (or capital leases), and cash interest. For all of the foregoing determinations, any equity contribution made to the Borrower and indebtedness subordinated to the Debt on terms acceptable to Lender will be applied to offset cash capital expenditures.

(v) The following is added as Section 7.21:
Section 7.21 EBITDA
The Borrower is not to cause or permits its EBITDA for the quarter ending September 30, 2010 to decrease below (-$450,000.00).
4. The Borrower’s failure to comply with Section 7.16 of the Loan Agreement for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 constitutes an event of Default under the Loan Agreement. Lender hereby agrees to grant a waiver thereof provided, however, that this waiver does not constitute (i) a modification or an alteration of any of the other terms, conditions or covenants of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents, all of which remain in full force and effect, or (ii) a waiver, release or limitation upon Lender’s exercise of any of its rights and remedies thereunder, all of which are hereby expressly reserved, or (iii) a waiver of compliance with Section 7.16 for any other period or purpose. This waiver does not relieve or release the Obligors in any way from any of their other respective duties, obligations, covenants or agreements under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents or from the consequences of any event(s) of Default thereunder, except as expressly described above. This waiver does not obligate Lender, or be construed to require Lender, to waive any other event(s) of Default or defaults, whether now existing or which may occur after the date of this Seventh Amendment.
5. In consideration of this Seventh Amendment, Borrower is to pay to Lender a fee of Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000.00) upon execution of this Seventh Amendment.
6. Except as set forth in paragraph 4 above, Obligors represent and warrant that there are no defaults or events of Default pursuant to or defined in any of the Loan Documents, and that all warranties and covenants which have been made or performed by Obligors in connection with the Loan Documents were true and complete when made or performed.
7. The Loan Documents are hereby amended to provide that a default, breach or failure on the part of Obligors to perform any covenant or condition hereunder or an event of Default otherwise defined in either this Seventh Amendment or any document executed in connection with this Seventh Amendment is to be deemed an event of Default for purposes of the Loan Documents.
8. All representations, warranties and covenants made by Obligors to Lender in the Loan Documents are hereby repeated as though first made expressly in this Seventh Amendment.
9. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Loan Documents continue in full force and effect, in accordance with their respective terms. The parties hereto hereby expressly confirm and reaffirm all of their respective liabilities, obligations, duties and responsibilities under and pursuant to said Loan Documents and consent to the terms of this Seventh Amendment.
- 5 -
Capitalized terms used in this Seventh Amendment which are not otherwise defined herein have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Loan Documents.
10. The parties agree to sign, deliver and file any additional documents and take any other actions that may reasonably be required by Lender including, but not limited to, affidavits, resolutions, or certificates for a full and complete consummation of the matters covered by this Seventh Amendment.
11. This Seventh Amendment is binding upon, inures to the benefit of, and is enforceable by the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties. This Seventh Amendment is not assignable by Obligors without the prior written consent of Lender.
12. To the extent that any provision of this Seventh Amendment is determined by any court or legislature to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or part either in a particular case or in all cases, such provision or part thereof is to be deemed surplusage. If that occurs, it does not have the effect of rendering any other provision of this Seventh Amendment invalid or unenforceable. This Seventh Amendment is to be construed and enforced as if such invalid or unenforceable provision or part thereof were omitted.
13. This Seventh Amendment may only be changed or amended by a written agreement signed by all of the parties. By the execution of this Seventh Amendment, Lender is not to be deemed to consent to any future renewal or extension of the loan. This Seventh Amendment may only be changed or amended by a written agreement signed by all of the parties. This Seventh Amendment is deemed to be part of and integrated into the Loan Documents.
14. This Seventh Amendment is governed by and is to be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of New Jersey as though made and to be fully performed in New Jersey (without regard to the conflicts of law rules of New Jersey).
15. The parties to this Seventh Amendment acknowledge that each has had the opportunity to consult independent counsel of their own choice, and that each has relied upon such counsel's advice concerning this Seventh Amendment, the enforceability and interpretation of the terms contained in this Seventh Amendment and the consummation of the transactions and matters covered by this Seventh Amendment.
16. Obligors are to reimburse Lender for its costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with this Seventh Amendment, upon execution of this Seventh Amendment.
THE OBLIGORS, FOR THEMSELVES, THEIR SUBSIDIARIES (IF ANY) AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION RELATING TO THIS SEVENTH AMENDMENT OR THE DEBT AS AN INDUCEMENT TO THE EXECUTION OF THIS SEVENTH AMENDMENT.
