         installments of $192,500.00 of principal, payable on the first day of
         each month, commencing on May 1, 2003, until the Term Loan B is repaid
         in full; provided, however, that the last such installment shall be in
         the amount necessary to repay in full the unpaid principal amount of
         the Term Loan B.

                  (e) Within ten (10) days of delivery to the Agent of each set
         of unaudited quarterly financial statements pursuant to Section 6.3(a),
         commencing with the delivery to the Agent of the financial statements
         for the fiscal quarter of the Parent ended July 31, 2001 or, if such

         statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.3(a), ten
         (10) days after the date such statements are required to be delivered
         to the Agent pursuant to Section 6.3(a), the Borrowers shall prepay the
         outstanding principal of the Term Loan in an amount equal to 50% of the

         paid in full and, second, against the remaining installments of
         principal of the Term Loan B in the inverse order of maturity until

                  (f) If any audit by the Parent's independent accountants or
         any other subsequent event or events shall demonstrate that the Excess
         Cash Flow set forth in any quarterly financial statements was
         inaccurate and that as a result the Borrowers did not prepay the Term
         Loan by the appropriate amount, the Borrowers will pay to the Agent
         immediately on demand the excess of (i) the amount of principal that
         should have been prepaid with respect to such fiscal quarter, over (ii)
         the amount of principal that was prepaid with respect to such fiscal
         quarter.

         the Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal of the Term Loan
         in an amount equal to $1,000,000, such prepayment to be applied, first,
         against the remaining installments of principal of the Term Loan A in
         the inverse order of maturity until paid in full and, second, against
         the remaining installments of principal of the Term Loan B in the
         inverse order of maturity until paid in full. Each such prepayment of
         the Term Loan shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest
         to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.

                  (h) No amount paid or prepaid with respect to the Term Loan
         may be reborrowed."
