NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants, agreements and promises contained herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement.

"EBITDA" shall mean, with respect to Borrower for any fiscal period, an amount equal to (a) consolidated net income of Borrower for such period, minus (b) the sum of (i) income tax credits, (ii) interest income, (iii) gain from extraordinary items for such period, (iv) any aggregate net gain during such period arising from the sale, exchange or other disposition of capital assets by Borrower (including any fixed assets, whether tangible or intangible, all inventory sold in conjunction with the disposition of fixed assets and all securities), and (v) any other non-cash gains which have been added in determining consolidated net income, in each case to the extent included in the calculation of consolidated net income of Borrower for such period in accordance with GAAP, but without duplication, plus (c) the sum of (i) accrued income taxes, (ii) Interest Expense, (iii) loss from extraordinary items for such period, (iv) the amount of non-cash charges (including depreciation and amortization, and stock options, restricted stock, or other stock-based awards which have been expensed by the Borrower) for such period, and (v) an aggregate net loss during such period arising from the sale, exchange or other disposition of capital assets by Borrower (including any fixed assets, whether tangible or intangible, all inventory sold in conjunction with the disposition of fixed assets and all securities), in each case to the extent included in the calculation of consolidated net income of Borrower for such period in accordance with GAAP, but without duplication. For purposes of this definition, the following items shall be excluded in determining consolidated net income of Borrower: (1) the income (or deficit) of any other Person accrued prior to the date it became a Subsidiary of, or was merged or consolidated into, Borrower or Borrower's Subsidiaries; (2) the income (or deficit) of any other Person (other than a Subsidiary) in which Borrower has an ownership interest, except to the extent any such income has actually been received by Borrower in the form of cash dividends or distributions; (3) the undistributed earnings of any Subsidiary of Borrower to the extent that the declaration or payment of dividends or similar distributions by such Subsidiary is not at the time permitted by the terms of any contractual obligation or requirement of law applicable to such Subsidiary; (4) any restoration to income of any contingency reserve, except to the extent that provision for such reserve was made out of income accrued during such period; (5) any write-up of any asset; (6) any net gain from the collection of the proceeds of life insurance policies; (7) any net gain arising from the acquisition of any securities, or the extinguishment, under GAAP, of any Indebtedness, of Borrower, (8) in the case of a successor to Borrower by consolidation or merger or as a transferee of its assets, any earnings of such successor prior to such consolidation, merger or transfer of assets, and (9) any deferred credit representing the excess of equity in any Subsidiary of Borrower at the date of acquisition of such Subsidiary over the cost to Borrower of the investment in such Subsidiary.

(b) Paragraph (a) of Annex E to the Credit Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

(a) Minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio. Borrower shall have at the end of each Fiscal Quarter and Fiscal Year, a Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the previous four (4) Fiscal Quarters then ended of not less than 2.75:1.

3. No Other Modifications. Except as specifically modified or amended herein or hereby, all of the terms and conditions of each of the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents, remain otherwise unchanged, and in full force and effect, all of which are hereby confirmed and ratified by the parties hereto.

4. Costs and Expenses of Agent and Lenders. Borrower agrees to reimburse the Agent and the Lenders for all reasonable costs, expenses, and fees, including attorneys' fees, associated with the documentation of this Amendment. Borrower consents to the Agent charging the Revolving Line of Credit account for any such costs, expenses and fees.

5. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in several counterpart copies, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of such copies together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed and delivered this Amendment all as of the date first set forth above.
