NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
promises and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable
consideration, the Borrowers and Standard Federal hereby agree as follows:
1. The Borrowers are corporations in good standing under the laws
of their state of incorporation. All corporate resolutions heretofore
delivered to Standard Federal relative to borrowing money and granting security
interests remain in full force and effect. Borrowers have duly authorized and
validly executed and delivered this Amendment Agreement and such Agreement and
the Loan Documents (as hereby amended) are valid and enforceable according to
their terms and do not conflict with or violate Borrowers' corporate charters
or by-laws or any agreements or covenants to which Borrowers are a party.
2. The Security Agreements and Life Policy Assignment are valid
and enforceable in accordance with their terms. Standard Federal's security
interests in the collateral described in the Security Agreements and Life
Policy Assignment are valid and perfected and Borrowers are aware of no claims
or interests in such collateral prior or paramount to Standard Federal's.
3. The Guaranty is valid and enforceable in accordance with its
terms and the Guarantors presently have no valid and existing defense to
liability thereunder.
4. The Loan Agreement is hereby modified by adding a new Section
1C thereto as follows:
SECTION 1C. SECOND EQUIPMENT PURCHASE LINE OF CREDIT
1C.1 Standard Federal hereby extends to the Borrower a
revolving line of credit (the "Second Equipment Line of Credit") which

One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (the "Second Equipment
Credit Limit").
1C.2 The Second Equipment Line of Credit herein extended
shall be subject to the terms and conditions of a Promissory Note

Credit), in the principal amount of One Million and 00/100 Dollars

thereof (the "Second Equipment Line of Credit Note"). The Second
Equipment Line of Credit shall be payable and shall bear interest as

force and effect to all provisions of both documents.

1C.3 If at any time the amount outstanding under the
Second Equipment Line of Credit shall exceed the Second Equipment
Credit Limit, Borrower shall, on demand, forthwith pay to Standard

for the equipment purchased or to be purchased with the advance.
5. Except as herein amended, the Loan Agreement, Guaranty and
other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.
6. Guarantors acknowledge and consent to the amendment to the
Loan Agreement herein provided and agree that the Guaranty shall continue and
remain in full force and effect with respect to the Loan Documents as herein
