         WHEREAS, Lender has previously made available to Borrower a credit
facility pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Revolving Credit
Agreement, dated as of April 4, 1997, by and between Lender and Borrower, as
amended by an Amendment To Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of December 1,
1997, which, together with all exhibits and schedules thereto and amendments and
modifications thereof made in accordance with the terms thereof, if any, is
hereinafter referred to as the "Loan Agreement"; and

         WHEREAS, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Lender has extended certain
loans and credit extensions to Borrower; and

         WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that Lender amend the Loan Agreement
pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Amendment as set forth herein; and

         WHEREAS, Lender is willing to amend the Loan Agreement but only on the
terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment; and

         WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the
meanings assigned to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, to induce Lender to
enter into this Amendment, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is hereby agreed by
each party hereto as follows:

         Section 1. Amendment of the Loan Agreement. It is hereby agreed and
understood that, subject to the complete fulfillment and performance of the

         C. The following statements shall be true and correct and Borrower, by
executing and delivering this Amendment to Lender, hereby certifies that the
following statements are true and correct as of the date hereof:

                  i. Other than as expressly contemplated by this Amendment,
         since the date of the most recent financial statements furnished by
         Borrower to Lender (which financial statements were true and correct in
         all material respects and otherwise conformed to the requirements set
         forth in the Loan Agreement for such financial statements), there shall
         have been no change which has had or will have a material adverse
         effect on the business, operations, properties, condition (financial or
         otherwise) or prospects of Borrower;

                  ii. The representations and warranties of Borrower set forth
         in the Loan Agreement and of Borrower set forth in this Amendment are
         true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of this
         Amendment with the same effect as though made on and as of such date,
         except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly
         relate to an earlier date;

                  iii. After giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or
         Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and

                  iv. No consents, licenses or approvals are required in
         connection with the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of
         this Amendment or the validity or enforceability against Borrower of

                  A. Except as expressly amended and modified by this Amendment,

                  B. This Amendment may be executed by the parties hereto in
         counterparts, and all of such counterparts taken together shall be
         deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

                  C. This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with and
         governed by the internal laws, and not the laws of conflict, of the
         State of Illinois.
