9.            Borrowers, jointly and severally, hereby represent and warrant to
Lender that (i) the officers of each Borrower executing this Amendment have been
duly authorized to do so and such Amendment and the Loan Agreement are valid and
binding upon each Borrower which is a party thereto in every respect,
enforceable in accordance with their terms, (ii) each and every representation
and warranty set forth in Article VI of the Loan Agreement is true and correct
as of the date hereof, (iii) no Event of Default, nor any event that, upon
notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, has
occurred and is continuing, and (iv) as of the date hereof, it has no defenses
or offsets with respect to the Obligations, as herein modified.

10.          Unless otherwise expressly modified or amended hereby, all terms
and conditions of the Loan Agreement as heretofore amended shall remain in full
force and effect, and the same, as amended hereby, are hereby ratified and
confirmed in all respects. This Amendment shall inure to and be binding upon and
enforceable by Borrowers and Lender and their respective successors and assigns.
This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when
executed and delivered shall constitute an original. All such counterparts shall
together be deemed to be one and the same instrument. The parties agree that any
facsimile signature of any party on any counterpart original of this Amendment
shall be deemed to be an original signature of such party for all purposes and
shall fully bind the party whose facsimile signature appears on the counterpart
original. Time is of the essence in the performance of each and every term,
covenant, condition and agreement set forth herein.
