agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties, the

Borrower's request, the Bank shall make loans to the Borrower during the period
from the date of this letter agreement to April 30, 1999 in an aggregate amount
not exceeding $1,000,000.00 at any time outstanding (the "Line of Credit"). The
Line of Credit is a revolving line of credit, and the Borrower may borrow,
prepay and reborrow under the Line of Credit. The Borrower's obligation to repay
such loans and to pay interest and other charges, fees and expenses thereon is

order of the Bank in the principal amount of $1,000,000.00 (together with any
amendments, extensions, renewals and replacements thereof, called the "Revolving
Note"). The Bank may credit each such loan to the Borrower's account number
2510497693 at the Bank. The Bank shall have no obligation to make any such loan
after the occurrence of any Event of Default. In each period of 12 months ending
on December 30 of each year, the Borrower shall cause the unpaid principal
balance of the Revolving Note to be zero for 30 consecutive days. The Borrower
shall use all proceeds of such loans solely for working capital purposes.

                  [x] The Borrower shall not at any time permit the unpaid
principal balance of the Revolving Note to exceed the Borrowing Base.

                  [x] The Borrower also is indebted to the Bank pursuant to the
Borrower's Line of Credit Application and Agreement with the Bank in the
original principal amount(s) of $150,200.000 (together with any amendments,
extensions, renewals and replacements thereof, also collectively called the
"Letter of Credit Note").

         2. The Borrower shall pay the following fees to the Bank: $5,000.00
commitment fee (paid on April 16, 1998 with original $300,000 note.)

         3. As long as any now existing or hereafter arising debt, obligation or
liability of the Borrower to the Bank (including but not limited to any debt,
obligation or liability relating to any letter of credit) shall remain
outstanding, the Borrower shall comply with the following requirements:
