Borrowers upon the terms and conditions herein set forth.

          WHEREAS,  BANK and BORROWER  executed a written Loan  Agreement  dated
October 14, 2004 which was subsequently  amended May 31, 2005, June 30, 2006 and

          WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the AGREEMENT.

          Now,  therefore,  in consideration of the AGREEMENT,  and their mutual
promises made herein, BANK and BORROWERS agree as follows:

          1. Terms which are typed herein as all  capitalized  words and are not
          defined  herein shall have the same meanings as when  described in the
          AGREEMENT.

          2. Article I Section 1.01 Defined Terms  "Borrowing  Base"  subsection
          (b) of the AGREEMENT is hereby amended to read, effective immediately:
                   The term  "Tangible  Net  Worth" of the  AGREEMENT  is hereby
          amended to read, effective immediately:
                              "Tangible Net Worth" means total assets less total
          liabilities (but excluding  Subordinated  Debt existing on the Closing
          Date, in an amount of not less than $4,200,000).

          3. Article I Section 1.01.  Defined Terms  "Revolving Loan Termination

                   2008. Interest only shall be payable monthly on the Revolving
                   Note. All outstanding principal and interest shall be due and
                   payable on June 30, 2008.

          5.  BORROWER  certifies  by  its  execution  hereof  that  all  of the
          representations  and warranties set forth in the AGREEMENT are true as
          of this date, and that no EVENT OF DEFAULT under the AGREEMENT, and no
          event  which,  with the  giving of notice or  passage of time or both,
          would  become such an EVENT OF DEFAULT,  has  occurred as of execution
          hereof, except as disclosed to BANK. All other terms and conditions of
          the  AGREEMENT not affected or amended by this  AGREEMENT,  are hereby
          ratified and confirmed.

          8. GUARANTOR acknowledges and consents to the foregoing amendment, and
          agrees  and  confirms  that  his  separate   guarantee  of  BORROWER's
          obligations  to BANK  are,  and  continue  to be,  valid  and  binding
          obligations of GUARANTOR.

          9. Except as herein amended,  the AGREEMENT continues to be the valid,
          binding obligation of BORROWER.

          IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the parties  have caused  this  Agreement  to be
executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized,  as of the date
