(the “Subordinated Debt”); and
WHEREAS, Alpha and Longview were granted security interests in the assets of the Company and Optex Systems, Inc. and received a guaranty (the “Guaranty”) of the Company’s obligations, pursuant to the Subscription Documentation and assumption of the Subordinated Debt and were granted and received other rights pursuant to the Subscription Documentation and assumption of the Subordinated Debt pursuant to the Existing Security Agreements, as defined on Annex I hereto.

Furthermore, the Company acknowledges that (i) the failure to obtain the Longview’s and Alpha’s consent to the Company’s issuance on May 16, 2007 of a warrant to purchase up to 200,000 shares of common stock is a technical default under the Subscription Agreement (the Consent Default”), and (ii) the failure to register shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to Longview and Alpha constitutes a technical default under the Subscription Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement dated December 29, 2006, but shall not be deemed to be to be a cross default for purposes of the Note. Alpha waives such failures solely for purposes of accelerating or requiring repurchase of the obligations under any agreement or instrument between the Company and/or its subsidiaries and Longview and/or Alpha, triggering default interest under any such agreement or instrument (but only with respect to the Consent Default), exercising remedies with respect to collateral (including without limitation account collections, settlements, adjustments or compromises, returned inventory, and inspection, audit and appraisal) securing the obligations under any such agreement or instrument, claiming a cross-default under any such agreement or instrument, tolling any restriction periods in any such agreement or instrument, preventing the payment of interest in shares of the Company’s common stock under any such agreement or instrument (but only with respect to the Consent Default), or preventing the Company’s ability to repurchase stock from former employees or directors of the Company under any such agreement or instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) such waiver of the failure to register the shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to Longview or Alpha shall not constitute a waiver of any default interest or liquidated damages that may have accrued or will accrue with respect to such default; (ii) such waiver shall continue only so long as Tim Looney, TWL Group, L.P. or their Affiliates do not attempt to accelerate or collect any obligations owed to them by the Company or Optex Systems, Inc. nor foreclose on any of their security interests in any of the assets of the Company, Optex Systems, Inc. or their Subsidiaries; and (iii) subject to the foregoing, Alpha hereby agrees to extend the deadline to register any of its shares until October 19, 2007.
