THIS First Amendment to Revolving Credit, Equipment Loan and Security Agreement

any further or other amendment shall be referred to as the "Credit Agreement")
is made and entered into this 12th day of November 2004 by and between the
Borrower and the Bank. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have
the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.
In consideration of mutual covenants herein contained and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Borrower and the Bank do hereby amend the Credit Agreement as
follows:
1. Section 2.4 (c) of the Credit Agreement is amended in its entirety to
read as follows:
(c) For the purpose of calculating interest due under this Agreement,
payment items shall be deemed applied by Lender on account of the Loan
one Business Day after receipt in the lockbox, subject to chargebacks
for uncollected payment items. No payment item received by Lender
shall constitute payment to Lender until such item is actually
collected by Lender and credited to the Collections Account; provided,
however, Lender shall have the right to charge back to the Collections
Account, the Demand Deposit Account (or any other account of Borrower
maintained at Lender) any item which is returned for inability to
collect, plus accrued interest during the period of Lender's
provisional credit for such item prior to receiving notice of
dishonor.

Borrowing until the earlier of the date upon which the Equipment Loans are
advanced up to the Equipment Loan Amount or July 31, 2005. Thereafter the

hereof shall amortize based on 60 equal monthly principal payments with
interest. Upon the date amortization commences the Borrower must choose
whether such Equipment Loan will be a Fixed Rate Borrowing for the balance
of the terms of the Equipment Loan or either a LIBOR Borrowing or the
Prime Rate Borrowing for the balance of the terms of the Equipment Loan.
Notwithstanding anything hereinabove to the contrary, the entire unpaid
principal balance of Equipment
