                                   BACKGROUND

Borrower, Guarantors, Lender and Agent previously entered into a certain Loan
and Security Agreement dated December 4, 1998, as amended by (i) that certain
First Amendment and Modification to Loan and Security Agreement dated April 28,
1999, and (ii) that certain Second Amendment and Modification to Loan and
Security Agreement dated October 13, 1999 (as amended, the "LOAN AGREEMENT"),
pursuant to which, inter alia, Lender agreed to extend to Borrower a revolving
credit facility up to a maximum outstanding principal amount of Forty-Five
Million Dollars ($45,000,000.00).

Borrower, Guarantors, Lender and Agent have also entered into certain interim
letter agreements pending completion of this Amendment.

Borrowers, Guarantors, Lender and Agent are entering into this Amendment to
amend certain terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, including without
limitation, the following:

Establishing the Contract Period for the Revolving Credit Facility for a full
two (2) periods after the date of this Amendment; and

Providing for permitted Out-of-Formula Advances for a period of time.

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings set forth for such terms in the Loan Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and intending to be
legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

CONTRACT PERIOD. The Contract Period is reset for a full two (2) year period
commencing on the date of this Agreement and expiring on March 15, 2002.
Accordingly, the definition of "Contract


<PAGE>



Period" in SECTION 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is amended to read in its entirety
as follows:

          "CONTRACT PERIOD means a period of time commencing on the date of this
     Agreement and expiring on March 15, 2002."

MAXIMUM REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AMOUNT. The Maximum Revolving Credit Facility
Amount is reset at $35,000,000. Accordingly the definition of "Maximum Revolving
Credit Facility" in SECTION 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is amended in its entirety
to read as follows:

          "MAXIMUM REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AMOUNT means $35,000,000."

     Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to Agent on or before March 22, 2000
replacement Notes in the aggregate amount of the revised Maximum Revolving
Credit Facility Amount, which replacement Notes are given in substitution and
replacement for the existing Notes and not in payment or satisfaction of such
existing Notes. Such replacement Notes shall be in form and content acceptable
to Agent. All references to Notes in the Loan Documents shall be deemed to be
references to the replacement Notes. Upon receipt of the original signed
replacement Notes by the Lenders, the Lenders will return to Borrower the prior
Notes marked "Replaced" or "Substituted".

INTEREST RATE. (A) GENERAL. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in the Loan Agreement or the Notes, effective as of the date hereof and at all
times hereafter, the "Base Rate plus Applicable Margin" as such term is used in
the Loan Agreement shall equal at all times three-quarter percent (3/4%) in
excess of the Base Rate in effect from time to time, each change to take effect
simultaneously with a corresponding change in the Base Rate without notice to
Borrower. Agent and Lender agree that ninety (90) days after Borrower receives
New Capital Funds in an amount at least equal to $12,000,000 (net of customary
transaction costs) as further described in SECTION 11 below and absent a Default
or an Event of Default, the "Base Rate plus Applicable Margin" as such term is
used in the Loan Agreement shall equal at all times one-quarter percent (1/4%)
in excess of the Base Rate in effect from time to time, each change to take
effect simultaneously with a corresponding change in the Base Rate without
notice to Borrower. Interest will be charged monthly in arrears and calculated
on the basis of a 360 day year.

     (b) LIBOR RATE OPTION. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in the Loan Agreement, Borrower agrees that Borrower shall have no further right
to elect that any sums outstanding under the Notes may accrue interest at the
LIBOR Rate plus Applicable Margin. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and
Lender agree that ninety (90) days after Borrower receives New Capital Funds in
an amount at least equal to $12,000,000 (net of customary transaction costs) and
absent a Default or an Event of Default, Borrower shall have the right to elect
that sums outstanding under the Notes accrue interest at the LIBOR Rate plus
Applicable Margin, provided that the Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Rate Loans
shall equal three percent (3%) per annum in excess of the LIBOR Rate. All other
limitations and requirements set forth in the Loan Agreement for LIBOR Rate
Loans shall continue for any new permitted LIBOR Rate Loans under this Section.


                                                                               2
<PAGE>


     (c) BASE RATE DEFINITION. The definition of "Base Rate" in SECTION 1.1 of
the Loan Agreement is amended to read in its entirely as follows:

     "BASE RATE the rate per annum which is the higher of (i) the Agent's Prime
     Rate, or (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2%, in effect from time to time
     (such interest rate to change immediately upon any change in the Prime Rate
     or Federal Funds Rate)."LETTERS OF CREDIT. In conjunction with the
     resetting of the Maximum Revolving Credit Facility Amount, the sublimit for
     Letters of Credit is reset. Accordingly, SECTION 4.4 of the Loan Agreement
     is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

     "SUBLIMITS. Agent shall have no obligation (a) to issue any Letter of
     Credit, if the aggregate outstanding undrawn amount of all Letters of
     Credit would exceed $15,000,000.00; (b) to issue any Standby Letters of
     Credit, if the aggregate outstanding undrawn amount of all Standby Letters
     of Credit would exceed $2,000,000.00; (c) to issue any Letter of Credit, if
     a Default or Event of Default has occurred; or (d) to issue any Letter of
     Credit if the Revolving Credit Facility Usage plus the amount of such new
     Letter of Credit to be issued exceeds (i) the Borrowing Base plus permitted
     Out-Of-Formula Advances under SECTION 9 of the Third Amendment and
     Modification to this Agreement (as reduced by all Reserves), or (ii) the
     Maximum Revolving Credit Facility Amount."

TERMINATION OF REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND TERMINATION FEE. In conjunction
with the resetting of the Contract Period and the Maximum Revolving Credit
Facility Amount, the early termination fees are reset. Accordingly, SECTION 7.10
of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

     "7.10 TERMINATION OF REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY AND TERMINATION FEE .
     Borrower may terminate the Revolving Credit Facility only upon at least
     thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Agent and payment to Agent (for
     the pro rata benefit of the Lenders) of a termination fee as set forth
     below.

     Such termination fee shall be payable if the Revolving Credit Facility is
     terminated regardless of the source of funds used to repay in full the
     Obligations, including without limitation financing provided by another
     Person, financing provided by


                                                                               3
<PAGE>



     one or more of the Lenders, the proceeds of a debt or equity offering by
     Borrower, a sale of any of the assets of Borrower or a "securitization" of
     any assets of Borrower. The following termination fees shall be payable:

               (i) If the termination occurs on or before March 15, 2001, the
          termination fee will be equal $1,050,000.00.

               (ii) If the termination occurs after March 15, 2001, but on or
          before March 14, 2002, the termination fee will be equal to
          $700,000.00.

     In the event the Revolving Credit Facility is terminated as a result of an
     Event of Default, Agent (for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders) shall be
     entitled to receive the termination fee required to be paid under the prior
     paragraphs. In the event that Agent, Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, as
     required under this Agreement, agree to waive any Event of Default but
     require as a condition of such waiver that the Contract Period be reduced
     or the Revolving Credit Facility be terminated within a finite time period
     after such waiver, Agent (for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders) shall be
     entitled to receive the termination fee required to be paid under the prior
     paragraphs.

     The termination fee shall be presumed to be the amount of damages sustained
     by Lenders as a result of such early termination and Borrower agrees that
     it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The early
     termination fee provided for in this Section shall be deemed included in
     the Obligations."
