Borrowings under the Line are currently evidenced by a revolving note dated September 29, 1999 (the “1999 Revolving Note”). The Borrower’s obligations to the Bank under the Term Loans are evidenced by Term Notes dated July 31, 1998 and September 29 (the “Term Notes”).
The Borrower has requested that the Bank extend the Line Expiration Date to August 31, 2001. The Bank is willing to grant this requests subject to the terms and conditions of this Third Amendment.

In consideration of the above premises, the Bank and the Borrower agree that the Agreement is hereby amended as of the date of this Third Amendment as follows:

2. To reflect
the changes to the Line, the Borrower will replace the existing promissory note
by executing and delivering to the Bank a new promissory note in form and
content acceptable to the Bank (the “Revolving Note”), which shall replace, but
not be deemed to satisfy, the 1999 Revolving Note, and which shall further reflect
the same unpaid loan amount as the 1999 Revolving Note as of the date of this
Third Amendment. Each reference in the
Agreement to the Revolving Note shall be deemed to refer to the Revolving Note
dated as of the date of this Third Amendment.

B. The Borrower has no knowledge of any default under the terms of the Agreement or any note evidencing any of the obligations of the Borrower that are documented in the Agreement, or of any event that with notice or the lapse of time or both would constitute a default under the Agreement or any such notes.
C. The execution, delivery and performance of this Third Amendment and all related documentation described in this Third Amendment are within its corporate powers, have been duly authorized and are not in contravention of law or the terms of the Borrower’s articles of incorporation or by–laws, or of any undertaking to which the Borrower is a party or by which it is bound.
