Borrower to end on June 30, 2000 shall be $30,000,000 (but for each subsequent
four-quarter fiscal period the minimum Consolidated EBITDA amount shall be as
specified in said Section 9.4), and (ii) the calculation of minimum Consolidated
EBITDA pursuant to said Section 9.4 shall be deemed to include addbacks to
Consolidated Net Income for (x) a restructuring charge of $10.6 million taken by
the Borrower in its third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2000 and described in
its quarterly financial statements, which restructuring charge relates to the
Borrower's reorganization program consisting of executive/employee severance,
lease termination costs, inventory and contract termination costs, the

         will not make in the aggregate Capital Expenditures in excess of Ten
         Million Dollars ($10,000,000) in any single fiscal year of the
         Borrower. In calculating the amount of Capital Expenditures incurred,
         no unutilized amount of Capital Expenditures permitted to be incurred
         in any given fiscal year may be used or credited by the Borrower or its
         Subsidiaries in any subsequent fiscal year by the Borrower."

                  (d) In Section 8.5.1 of the Credit Agreement, the text of such
subparagraph shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

                  "8.5.1 Mergers and Acquisitions. The Borrower will not, and
         will not permit its Subsidiaries to, become a party to any merger or
         consolidation, or agree to or effect any asset acquisition or stock
         acquisition (other than the acquisition of assets in the ordinary
         course of business consistent with past practices), except for (i) the
         mergers contemplated by the Transaction, (ii) the merger or
         consolidation of any one or more wholly-owned Subsidiaries of the
         Borrower with and into the Borrower, or the merger or consolidation of
         two or more wholly-owned Subsidiaries of the Borrower (so long as the
         successor Subsidiary is, or contemporaneously becomes, a Guarantor
         under the Guaranty and the stock of such successor Subsidiary is, or
         contemporaneously becomes, pledged and assigned under the Pledge
         Agreement), and (iii) the acquisition of the assets or stock of another
         party not already a Subsidiary (each, a "Permitted Acquisition"), but
         only if and to the extent that such Permitted Acquisition is approved
         in writing by the Majority Banks in their discretion (including, if so
         approved, any conditions which such Majority Banks may determine
         necessary or appropriate to impose)."

         Section 4. Confirmation of Stock Pledge Agreement. The parties hereto
agree that all references to the "Credit Agreement" contained in the Stock
Pledge Agreement and all Supplements thereto shall mean or refer to the Credit
Agreement as amended and supplemented by this Eighth Amendment and as it may be
further amended, supplemented, modified and restated and in effect from time to
time, including without limitation any such amendment, supplement, modification
or restatement which increases the amount of Indebtedness owing by the Borrower
thereunder.

         Section 5. Loan Documents Ratified and Confirmed. The Credit Agreement,
the Notes and each of the other Loan Documents, as specifically supplemented or
amended by this Eighth Amendment and the other documents executed in connection
herewith, are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby
in all respects ratified and confirmed. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Security Documents and all of the collateral described therein
do, and shall continue to, secure the payment of all obligations under the Loan
Documents, in each case as amended or supplemented pursuant to this Eighth
Amendment. The waiver set forth in Section 2 of this Eighth Amendment is limited
to the specific matter and circumstances described herein, and no further or
additional waiver as to any other obligations under the Credit Agreement is
granted hereby.

         Section 6. Conditions to Effectiveness. This Eighth Amendment shall
become effective only upon (i) completion of the execution and delivery to the
Agent of an Amendment and Confirmation of Guaranty, dated the date hereof and
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, by each of the
Borrower's Subsidiaries which is a Guarantor, and (ii) payment of the Closing
Fees specified in Section 8 below.

         Section 7. Bringdown. The Borrower hereby confirms that all
representations and warranties with respect to the Borrower and any Subsidiaries
contained in the Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents and in
any other certificate or document delivered in connection therewith are true and
correct as of the date hereof, and that no Default or Event of Default is
outstanding or would be created by the consummation of the transactions
described herein.

         Section 8. Fees, Costs and Expenses.

                  (a) In connection with the execution of this Eighth Amendment,
the Borrower shall pay a Closing Fee to each Bank in an amount equal to (i) such
Bank's respective Commitment times (ii) .125%.

                  (b) In addition to the foregoing Closing Fees, the Borrower
agrees to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses of the Agent and the
Banks, including without limitation all reasonable fees and expenses of counsel,
in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Eighth
Amendment and the other documents and instruments to be delivered herewith.

         Section 9. Miscellaneous. This Eighth Amendment may be executed in
several counterparts and by each party on a separate counterpart, each of which
when executed and delivered shall be an original, and all of which together
shall constitute one instrument. In proving this Eighth Amendment, it shall not
be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by
the party against whom enforcement is sought. This Eighth Amendment is intended
to take effect as a sealed instrument and shall for all purposes be construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
(excluding the laws applicable to conflicts or choice of law).

         This AMENDMENT AND CONFIRMATION OF GUARANTY (the "Guaranty Amendment"),
dated as of June 30, 2000, is entered into by each of the parties identified as
a Guarantor on the signature page hereto, all of which are "Guarantors" under

         WHEREAS, the Agent is a party to that certain Revolving Credit
