RECITALS
A. Mortgage
(1) Mortgagee is the holder and owner of a Mortgage, Fixture Filing and
Assignment of Leases and Rents (the "Mortgage"), dated October 9, 1997, made by
Kolar, Inc., to JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly The Chase Manhattan Bank and
acting as the "Administrative Agent") under a Credit Agreement dated October 9,
1997 (the "Original Credit Agreement") by and among the Mortgagor and said
Administrative Agent, CPI Aerostructures, Inc. and certain lenders described
therein. The Mortgage encumbered the premises (the "Original Premises")
described on Schedule A annexed thereto and secured certain Notes (collectively
the "Credit Agreement Notes"), dated October 9, 1997, made by Mortgagor to
JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly The Chase Manhattan Bank) in the original
principal sum of $10,375,000 (the lien of said Mortgage having been limited to
$1,500,000);
(2) The Mortgage was recorded in the office of the County Clerk of
Tompkins County on October 9, 1997, in Book 1127, page 225;
B. As of the date hereof, the Original Credit Agreement has been
amended and restated (hereafter the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement"), to
provide that an additional $1,700,000 (described in the Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement as the "Deficiency Debt") shall be added to the indebtedness
secured by the Mortgage. Such indebtedness will be represented by an amended and
restated note or notes designated in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
as the "Replacement Term Note".
C. As of the date hereof the aggregate principal amount remaining
secured by the Mortgage prior to the execution of this Agreement was $1,206,962.
The aggregate amount secured by the Mortgage, as amended hereby, shall remain
$1,500,000. Accordingly, the additional amount secured by the Mortgage as
amended hereby is $268,500.
D. It is a condition to the execution of the Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Original
Credit Agreement that the Mortgagor under the Mortgage execute this Amendment;
and it is intended that the Mortgage, as amended hereby, shall secure the
Replacement Term Note.

and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. All references in the Mortgage to the "Note" shall be deemed
