and reborrowed at any time prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, at which time
all Advances under this Section 2.1(b) shall be immediately due and payable.
Borrowers may prepay any Advances without penalty or premium."
 
 
 
-2-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
4.   New Section 2.1(b)(iii) is hereby added to the Agreement to read in its
entirety as follows:
 
"(iii) Letter of Credit Sublimit. Subject to the availability under the
Revolving Line, and in reliance on the representations and warranties of
Borrowers set forth herein, at any time and from time to time from the date
hereof through the Business Day immediately prior to the Revolving Maturity
Date, Bank shall issue for the account of one or all of the Borrowers such
Letters of Credit as Parent may request by delivering to Bank a duly executed
letter of credit application on Bank's standard form; provided, however, that
the outstanding and undrawn amounts under all such Letters of Credit (i) shall
not at any time exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, and (ii) shall be deemed
to constitute Advances for the purpose of calculating availability under the
Revolving Line. Any drawn but unreimbursed amounts under any Letters of Credit
shall be charged as Advances against the Revolving Line. All Letters of Credit
shall be in form and substance acceptable to Bank in its sole discretion and
shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Bank's form application and
letter of credit agreement. Borrower will pay any standard issuance and other
fees that Bank notifies Borrower it will charge for issuing and processing
Letters of Credit."
 
5.   New Section 2.1(b)(iv) is hereby added to the Agreement to read in its
entirety as follows:
 
"(iv) Collateralization of Obligations Extending Beyond Maturity. If any
Borrower has not secured to Bank's satisfaction its obligations with respect to
any Letters of Credit by the Revolving Maturity Date, then, effective as of such
date, the balance in any deposit accounts held by Bank and the certificates of
deposit or time deposit accounts issued by Bank in any one or all of Borrowers'
name (and any interest paid thereon or proceeds thereof, including any amounts
payable upon the maturity or liquidation of such certificates or accounts),
shall automatically secure such obligations to the extent of the then continuing
or outstanding and undrawn Letters of Credit. Borrowers authorize Bank to hold
such balances in pledge and to decline to honor any drafts thereon or any
requests by any Borrower or any other Person to pay or otherwise transfer any
part of such balances for so long as the Letters of Credit are outstanding or
continue."
 
6.   Section 6.7 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety
to read as follows:
 
"6.7 Financial Covenants. Borrowers shall at all times maintain the following
financial covenants:
 
(a) Minimum Cash. A balance of Cash at Bank of not less (i) Three Million
Dollars ($3,000,000) when aggregate outstanding Advances and Equipment Advances
are less than or equal to Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000); and (ii) Three
Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000) when aggregate outstanding
Advances and Equipment Advances are greater than Three Million Dollars
($3,000,000). Borrowers may not request or receive Advances in order to comply
with this Section 6.7(a).
 
(b) Intentionally Omitted.
 
 
 
-3-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(c) Total Liabilities to Tangible Net Worth. A ratio of Total Liabilities to
Tangible Net Worth of not more than 1.60 to 1.00.

(d) Minimum Liquidity Ratio. A Liquidity Ratio of not less than 1.40 to 1.00."

7.   Exhibit C to the Agreement is hereby replaced with Exhibit C attached
hereto.
 
8.   No course of dealing on the part of Bank or its officers, nor any failure
or delay in the exercise of any right by Bank, shall operate as a waiver
thereof, and any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude
any later exercise of any such right. Bank’s failure at any time to require
strict performance by a Borrower of any provision shall not affect any right of
Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance. Any suspension or
waiver of a right must be in writing signed by an officer of Bank.
 
9.   Unless otherwise defined, all initially capitalized terms in this Amendment
shall be as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be
and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its respective terms and
hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects. Except as expressly set forth
herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not
operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of
Bank under the Agreement, as in effect prior to the date hereof.
 
10.   Borrowers represent and warrant that the Representations and Warranties
contained in the Agreement are true and correct as of the date of this
Amendment, and that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
 
11.   As a condition to the effectiveness of this Amendment, Bank shall have
received, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, the following:
 
(a) this Amendment, duly executed by each Borrower;
 
(b) a Certificate of the Secretary of each Borrower with respect to incumbency
and resolutions authorizing the execution and delivery of this Amendment;
 
(c) a non-refundable amendment fee of $2,500, which may be debited from any of
Borrowers' accounts;
 
(d) all reasonable Bank Expenses incurred through the date of this Amendment,
which may be debited from any of Borrower's accounts;
 
(e) such other documents, and completion of such other matters, as Bank may
reasonably deem necessary or appropriate.
 
12.   This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one
instrument.
