     The parties entered into a First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 15, 2010 (“Credit Agreement”).
     The parties desire to amend the Credit Agreement as set forth herein.
     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
  1.   Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed in the Credit Agreement.

  3.   In Article 1, Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement, the Bank Revolving Commitment is changed from Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000.00) to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00).
 
  4.   In Article 12, Section 12.2 of the Credit Agreement, the first paragraph is deleted and the following is inserted in its place:
     “The Parent shall maintain a Consolidated After Tax Net Income on a cumulative basis in fiscal year 2011 of not less than a negative $300,000 as of December 31, 2010, and not less than a negative $150,000 as of March 31, 2011, and not less than a positive $250,000 as of June 30, 2011 and not less than a positive $750,000 as of September 30, 2011.”
