respect;

        NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree to amend the Credit 
Agreement as follows:

        1.      The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting Section 6.10 
thereof in its entirety and by substituting the following new Section in lieu 
thereof:

                "6.10 Investments. Except as permitted in Section 6.6, neither
                the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall make or maintain
                any Investments other than (i) existing Investments in
                Subsidiaries and additional Investments in such Subsidiaries in
                the ordinary course of its business, (ii) Qualified Investments,
                (iii) loans outstanding to Messrs. James L. Bildner and William
                G. Barton evidenced by those certain promissory notes dated in
                February, 1997 and amended in August, 1997 payable by such
                individuals to the Company, the aggregate outstanding principal
                balance of which was $2,158,600 as of December 31, 1997, and
                (iv) up to $1,800,000 aggregate principal amount of other loans
                to employees of the Company and any Subsidiaries who are
                shareholders of the Company. It is understood and agreed that as
                the loans described in clause (iii) in the preceding sentence
                are paid or otherwise reduced, the amount of the payments or
                reductions shall not become available for new permitted
                Investments under this Section 6.10."

        2.      Except as specifically provided herein, all of the terms and 
conditions of the Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

        3.      This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterparts with 
the same effect as if the signatures hereto and thereto were upon the same 
instrument.
