      The aggregate amount advanced under the Loan shall not exceed Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000.00); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the maximum amount available shall be determined quarterly and in no event shall it exceed 1.5x the amount of the Borrower's aggregate adjusted EBITDA for the previous four quarters.

        4.     Surplus agrees that the Loan shall continue to be secured upon its accounts receivable and Inventory as set forth in the Security Agreement dated June 7, 2005 which shall remain in full force and effect and the terms of which are hereby reaffirmed by Surplus. The Financing Statements evidencing the lien upon Surplus' collateral shall continue and not be terminated.

        5.     Default under the terms of this Modification shall constitute default under the Note.

        6.     The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that as of the date hereof there are no set-offs, claims or defenses against the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents.

        7.     The Borrower hereby expressly reaffirms the representations and warranties set forth in the Note and the Agreement and covenants that (a) no default has occurred under any of them or any other documents relating to or connected with the Note, and (b) no adverse material change has occurred in the financial condition of the Borrower as reflected by the most recent financial information provided to the Bank.

        8.     Borrower shall execute an allonge to the Note, in form and substance acceptable to Bank, evidencing the modifications set forth herein.

        9.     Repayment of any Advance used for an acquisition that shall be outstanding on the Maturity Date may, at the option of the Borrower, be extended for a period not to exceed thirty (30) months from the date of the Advance. Any such amount still unpaid at the expiration of said thirty (30) month period shall be converted to a term loan, payable in payments of

principal and interest in an amount required to amortize the then balance due thereon at an interest rate and for a term to be negotiated based upon the amount to be amortized.

        10.   Paragraph 6(j) of the Agreement is hereby deleted and in lieu thereof the following provision is inserted:

            6(j)  At no time during the term of the Loan or any extension thereof or any term loan shall there be any material change in ownership control of the Borrower or Surplus or the management of either company.

        11.   Borrower (a) hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Bank has fully and properly discharged all covenants and other provisions of the Agreement, the Modifications, the Note and all other of the Loan Documents prior to the date hereof; (b) hereby waives any breach of the Note, the Agreement, the Modifications and any other of the Loan Documents by the Bank prior to the date hereof; and (c) hereby releases, remises, acquits and forever discharges Bank and each of its employees, agents, successors, and assigns from any and all matters, and claims, actions, causes of action, suits, debts, agreements and demands whatsoever, whether presently known or unknown, which the Borrower may now or hereafter may have against the Bank by reason of any act, cause, matter or thing whatsoever to the date hereof.

        12.   In consideration of this Modification, the Borrower hereby certifies that there is no event of default under the Note, the Agreement, the Modifications or any other of the Loan Documents and no event has occurred and no condition exists that with the giving of notice or the passage of time would constitute an event of default under the Note, the Agreement, the Modifications or any other of the Loan Documents. The Borrower further certifies that it is not in default under the terms of any other agreement or instrument to which it may be a party in any respect that could be materially adverse to the business, operations, property or financial condition of the Borrower, or which could materially adversely affect the ability of the Maker to perform its obligations under the Agreement, the Modifications, the Note or any other of the Loan Documents or any other documents to which it is party.

        13.   Except as hereby expressly modified, the Agreement, as amended by the Modifications, shall otherwise be unchanged, shall remain in full force and effect, and is hereby expressly approved, ratified and confirmed. In the event the terms of any other Loan documents are inconsistent with the terms of this Modification, the terms of this Modification shall govern. The parties hereto agree that this Modification shall not be construed as an agreement to substitute a new obligation or extinguish an obligation under the Note, and shall not be construed a novation as to the obligations of the Borrower and Surplus to the Bank, or as to the Bank's lien under the Security Agreements or the Related Documents.

        14.   This Modification shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns.
