ARTICLE 1.
Amendments to Loan Documents
Section 1.1 Amendment to Primary Revolving Note
. The Section 1.1 of the Primary Revolving Note is hereby
amended in its entirety to read as follows:
1.1
Pre-Default Rate . Subject to the provisions of
Section 1.2 below, interest payable on this Note per
annum will accrue at the greater of (i) the LIBOR Base Rate
plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) four percent
(4%).
The
“LIBOR Base Rate” is the London Interbank Offer Rate
for United States Dollars for a term of one month which appears on
Telerate Page 3750, Bloomberg Professional Screen BBAM (or any
generally recognized successor method or means of publication) as
of 11:00 a.m., London time, two (2) London business days
prior to the day on which the rate will become effective. The rate
for the first month or part thereof will initially become effective
on the date of the Note as shown on the face hereof. Thereafter,
the rate will change and a new rate will become effective on the
first calendar day of each succeeding month. If for any reason the
London Interbank Offer Rate is not available, then the “LIBOR
Base Rate” shall mean the rate per annum which banks charge
each other in a market comparable to England’s Eurodollar
market on short-term money in U.S. Dollars for an amount
substantially equivalent to the principal amount due under this
Note as determined at 11:00 A.M., London time, two
(2) London business days prior to the day on which the rate
will become effective, as determined in the Bank’s sole
discretion. Bank’s determination of such interest rate shall
be conclusive, absent manifest error.
The
“Applicable Margin” is the percent per annum set forth
below, based on the ratio of Borrower’s Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio, as defined in the herein defined Loan Agreement, as set
forth in the most recent compliance certificate received by Lender.
Based upon the ratio, the “Applicable Margin” over
Bank’s LIBOR Base Rate will be determined as

The Applicable
Margin will be determined from Borrower’s most recent
quarterly compliance certificate received by Bank, as required in
the Loan

Agreement. The
ratio will be measured as of August 31
st , November 30 th ,
February 28 th ,
and May 31 st of
each year (each a “Measurement Date”); adjustments in
the Applicable Margin will occur as of the first day of the month
immediately following Bank’s receipt of Borrower’s
quarterly Compliance Certificate required under
Section 5.6(c) of the Loan Agreement (i.e., November
1 st
, February 1
st , May 1 st and August 1 st )
for the immediately preceding Measurement Date (each an
“Adjustment Date”). The Applicable Margin will be in
effect from the then applicable Adjustment Date until the next
Adjustment Date. Until Lender receives the first Compliance
Certificate and related financial statements due on July 15,
2009 for the May 31, 2009 Measurement Date, the Applicable
Margin will be 2.10%. The First Adjustment Date will occur on the
first day of the month immediately following Bank’s receipt
of the Compliance Certificate due on July 15, 2009 and be
based on the May 31, 2009 Measurement Date financial
statements, and shall apply until the next Adjustment Date.
Thereafter if any quarterly Compliance Certificate (and applicable
financial statement) is not delivered on time, the Applicable
Margin from the date such certificate (and applicable financial
statement) was due until Bank receives it will be the highest level
set forth above, or at Bank’s option, the Default
Rate.

Note . Section 1.1 of the Secondary Revolving Note is
hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
1.1
