                  3.1.4.2. An amount equal to the sum of (i) 50% of the value of
                  all Eligible Inventory that is finished goods, (ii) 30% of the
                  value of all Eligible Inventory that is raw materials or
                  work-in-process at the close of business on such date, or as
                  certified in the Borrowing Base Certificate most recently
                  furnished to Lender as required in Section 14.14, whichever is

         first-in-first-out basis; (ii) raw materials and work-in-process shall
         be deemed to be equal to total Eligible Inventory less unapplied
         progress payments and inventory reserves as regularly maintained by
         Borrower; and (iii) finished goods shall be deemed to be equal to the
         estimated cost of Borrower's unbilled jobs."

         3.15.    DEFINITIONS. All of the deletions, replacements, and changes
made in Exhibit 2.1 to the Loan Agreement (Glossary and Index of Defined Terms)
by the amendment thereto dated March 20, 1997, are hereby rescinded as of the
effective date of this Amendment, and the Loan Agreement shall be read from the
date of this Amendment to include all of such definitions as they appeared

to the Loan Agreement (Glossary and Index of Defined Terms):

         "`Real Estate Debt' is defined in Section 16.1.

         `Senior Debt' is defined in Section 16.1.

         `TransMedica Proceeds': proceeds from any judgment in favor of
         Borrower against TransMedica International, Inc. or any other party
         in cause number 98CC-003559 pending in the Circuit Court of St.
         Louis County, Missouri, or from any settlement thereof, or otherwise
         arising from a claim by Borrower against TransMedica International,

4.       FIELD AUDIT; ADVANCE RATES AND ELIGIBILITY. Borrower agrees that Lender
may conduct a field audit of Borrower's Inventory and Accounts. Borrower further
agrees that Lender may change the advance rate percentages in Sections 3.1.4.1
and 3.1.4.2 of the Loan Agreement and/or the definitions of Eligible Accounts
and/or Eligible Inventory in Section 3.1.5 and 3.1.6 effective immediately upon
notice to Borrower after the field audit is concluded so that such revised
advance rates and/or definitions accurately reflect the actual quality and value
of Borrower's Inventory and Accounts as collateral for repayment of the
Revolving Loan in light of the risk to Lender that any of the Accounts might not
be paid timely in full and that any Inventory may not be readily saleable, as
determined by Lender based upon its current criteria for determining such
quality, value and risk.

true and correct and have been true and correct at all times since the Effective
Date, except as described in Exhibit A hereto, and (v) there exists no Default

6.       EFFECT OF AMENDMENT. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this
Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of Bank
under the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, nor constitute a

subordination of the security interests of Bank under the Security Documents.
Each reference in the Loan Agreement to "the Agreement", "hereunder", "hereof",
"herein", or words of like import, shall be read as referring to the Loan
Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

State of Missouri without giving effect to choice or conflicts of law principles
thereunder.

9.       SECTION TITLES. The section titles in this Amendment are for
convenience of reference only and shall not be construed so as to modify any
provisions of this Amendment.

10.      COUNTERPARTS; FACSIMILE TRANSMISSIONS. This Amendment may be executed

         ORAL AGREEMENTS OR COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT OR TO

SUCH DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE. TO PROTECT YOU (BORROWER) AND US (CREDITOR) FROM
