now or which hereafter  become a party hereto  (collectively,  the "LENDERS" and
individually a "Lender") and PNC BANK,  NATIONAL  ASSOCIATION  ("PNC"), as agent
for Lenders (PNC, in such capacity, the "AGENT").

                                   BACKGROUND

     A.  Borrowers  have executed and delivered to Lenders and Agent one or more
promissory  notes,  letter  agreements,  loan agreements,  security  agreements,
mortgages,  pledge  agreements,  collateral  assignments,  and other agreements,
instruments,  certificates  and  documents,  some or all of which are more fully
described  on  attached  Exhibit  A,  which  is made a part  of  this  Amendment
(collectively,  as amended from time to time, the "LOAN  DOCUMENTS"),  and which
Loan  Documents  evidence or secure  some or all of  Borrowers'  obligations  to
Lenders for one or more loans or other extensions of credit (the "OBLIGATIONS").

     B.  Borrowers,  Agent and  Lenders  desire to amend the Loan  Documents  as
provided for in this Amendment.

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained
and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1. Certain of the Loan Documents are amended as set forth in Exhibit A. Any
and all  references  to any Loan  Document in any other Loan  Document  shall be
deemed  to refer to such  Loan  Document  as  amended  by this  Amendment.  This
Amendment is deemed incorporated into each of the Loan Documents.  Any initially
capitalized  terms  used in this  Amendment  without  definition  shall have the
meanings  assigned to those terms in the Loan Documents.  To the extent that any
term or provision of this Amendment is or may be  inconsistent  with any term or
provision in any Loan Document, the terms and provisions of this Amendment shall
control.

     2.  Borrowers  hereby certify that:  (a) all of their  representations  and
warranties in the Loan Documents,  as amended by this Amendment,  are, except as
may otherwise be stated in this  Amendment:  (i) true and correct as of the date
of this  Amendment,  (ii)  ratified and confirmed  without  condition as if made
anew, and (iii)  incorporated into this Amendment by reference,  (b) no Event of
Default  or event  which,  with the  passage  of time or the giving of notice or
both, would constitute an Event of Default, exists under any Loan Document which
will not be cured by the execution and  effectiveness of this Amendment,  (c) no
consent,  approval,  order or authorization  of, or registration or filing with,
any third party is required  in  connection  with the  execution,  delivery  and
carrying out of this Amendment or, if required, has been obtained, and

<PAGE>

(d) this Amendment has been duly  authorized,  executed and delivered so that it
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrowers, enforceable in
accordance  with  its  terms.  Borrowers  confirm  that the  Obligations  remain
outstanding without defense,  set off,  counterclaim,  discount or charge of any
kind as of the date of this Amendment.

     3.  Borrowers  hereby  confirm  that any  collateral  for the  Obligations,
including liens, security interests, mortgages, and pledges granted by Borrowers
or third parties (if  applicable),  shall continue  unimpaired and in full force
and effect,  and shall  cover and secure all of  Borrowers  existing  and future
Obligations, as modified by this Amendment.

     4.  As a  condition  precedent  to the  effectiveness  of  this  Amendment,
Borrowers  shall  comply with the terms and  conditions  (if any)  specified  in
Exhibit A, if any.

     5.  This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterpart copies and by
the  parties to this  Amendment  on separate  counterparts,  but all such copies
shall  constitute  one  and  the  same  instrument.   Delivery  of  an  executed
counterpart  of a signature  page to this  Amendment by  facsimile  transmission
shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart.  Any party so
executing this  Amendment by facsimile  transmission  shall  promptly  deliver a
manually  executed  counterpart,  provided  that any  failure to do so shall not
affect the validity of the counterpart executed by facsimile transmission.

     6.  This  Amendment  will be  binding  upon  and  inure to the  benefit  of
Borrowers, Agent and Lenders and their respective successors and assigns.

     7.  This Amendment has been  delivered to and accepted by Agent and will be
deemed to be made in the State of New Jersey. This Amendment will be interpreted
and the rights and  liabilities of the parties  hereto  determined in accordance
with the laws of the State of New Jersey, excluding its conflict of laws rules.

     8. Except as amended hereby, the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents
remain unchanged, are and shall remain in full force and effect unless and until
modified or amended in writing in  accordance  with their terms,  and are hereby
ratified and  confirmed.  Except as expressly  provided  herein,  this Amendment
shall not  constitute an amendment,  waiver,  consent or release with respect to
any provision of any Loan Document,  a waiver of any default or Event of Default
under any Loan  Document,  or a waiver or release of any of Agent's or  Lenders'
rights and  remedies  (all of which are hereby  reserved).  BORROWERS  EXPRESSLY
RATIFY AND CONFIRM  THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL  PROVISIONS  CONTAINED  IN THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS.

                                       and

                           dated as of March 27, 2002


A.   The "Loan  Documents" that are the  subject of this  Amendment  include the

otherwise supplemented):

     1.   The Amended and Restated  Revolving Credit Loan and Security Agreement
          dated May 31, 2000 (the "Loan Agreement"); and

     2.   All  other  documents,   instruments,   agreements,  and  certificates
          executed and delivered in connection with the Loan Documents listed in
          this Section A.

B.   The Loan Documents are amended as follows:

     1. The  definitions  of "Total  Stockholders  Equity"  and  "Unconsolidated
     Stockholders  Equity"  sect  forth  in  Article  I of the  Loan  Agreement,
     "Definitions", are hereby amended and restated as follows:

              "Total  Stockholders  Equity"  shall mean,  at a  particular
               ---------------------------
              date, (a) the aggregate amount of all assets of Borrowers on
              a consolidated  basis as may be properly  classified as such
              in accordance with GAAP  consistently  applied  exclusive of
              Borrowers'  investment  in SeraNova,  less (b) the aggregate
              amount of all liabilities of the Borrowers on a consolidated
              basis.  Notwithstanding  anything  contained  herein  to the
              contrary, the computation of Total Stockholders Equity shall
              exclude any changes  thereto  (positive or  negative)  other
              than from the result of  operations;  specifically  excluded
              from  this  computation  are  any  non-operational  factors,

              foreign  Subsidiary of Borrowers and any write-down or write
              off (up to but not exceeding the sum of  $10,833,000) of the
              note due from  SeraNova,  provided also,  however,  sales of
              other assets not in the ordinary course of business shall be
              included in said computation.

              "Unconsolidated   Stockholders  Equity"  shall  mean,  at  a
               -------------------------------------

              particular  date, (a) the aggregate  amount of all assets of
              Borrowers  and  their  respective   subsidiaries  which  are
              organized  under the laws of one of the states of the United
              States (exclusive of Borrower's


<PAGE>

              investment in Sera Nova) on a  consolidated  basis as may be
              properly   classified  as  such  in  accordance   with  GAAP
              consistently  applied,  less (b) the aggregate amount of all
              liabilities  of the  Borrowers  and such  subsidiaries  on a
              consolidated  basis.   Notwithstanding   anything  contained
              hereto to the contrary,  the  definition  of  Unconsolidated
              Stockholders   Equity  shall  exclude  any  changes  thereto
              (positive  or  negative)  other  than  from the  results  of
              operations;  specifically excluded from this computation are
              any non-operational  factors, events or circumstances,  such
              as, but not  limited  to, the  issuance  of stock,  options,
              warrants  or  similar   instruments,   the   repurchase   or
              redemption of stock or unrealized currency transactions, the
              sale (on  terms  acceptable  to  Lenders  and with the prior
              written consent of Lenders) of all or  substantially  all of
              the stock or assets of any foreign  Subsidiary  of Borrowers
              and any write-down or write off (up to but not exceeding the
              sum of $10,833,000) of the note due from SeraNova,  provided
              also, however, sales of assets not in the ordinary course of
              business shall be included in said computation.

              the  contrary,   Borrowers  may  make  advances,   loans  or
              extensions  of  credit  to  their   Subsidiaries  which  are
              organized  under  the laws of a United  States  jurisdiction
              without  restriction  as to dollar  amount,  provided  Agent
              shall  have  received  an  executed   Guarantee,   Guarantor
              Security  Agreements  and such other  documents as Agent may
              require all in form and substance satisfactory to Agent from
              each such  Subsidiary,  prior to the making of any such loan
              or extension of credit.
