                                    RECITALS

      A. The Credit Parties, Lenders and Agent have previously entered into that
certain Loan Agreement, pursuant to which Lenders agreed to make certain credit
facilities available to Borrower, secured by the Collateral and guaranteed by
Guarantors.

      B. The parties desire to enter into this First Amendment to modify the
Loan Agreement as set forth herein.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the
agreements herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

      1.    Definitions. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
            defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Loan
            Agreement.

      2.    Undrawn Availability. The entire text of Section 8.1(dd) of the Loan
            Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
            following:

            foregoing, Lenders and Agent hereby waive any default arising prior
            to giving effect to this First Amendment due to the failure of the
            Credit Parties to comply with any requirements of Schedule 1.2 of
            the Loan Agreement within the time period specified therein.

      4.    Reduction of Obligations. If the Obligations are not paid in full by

            2002, the following amendments to the Loan Agreement shall apply:

                  (a) The following text shall be added to the Loan Agreement as
                  a new definition in Section 1.2:

<PAGE>

                  " 'Maximum Obligations' shall mean $25,000,000."

                  (b) The definition of "Maximum Revolving Advance Amount in
                  Section 1.2 of the Loan Agreement is changed from
                  "$31,000,000" to $25,000,000 less the amount outstanding from
                  time to time under the Term Loan."

                  (c) The following text shall be added to the Loan Agreement as
                  Section 2.17:

                        "2.17. Maximum Obligations. At no time shall the sum of
                  the outstanding Revolving Advances plus amounts outstanding
                  under the Term Loan plus any other outstanding Obligations
                  exceed the Maximum Obligations."

      5.    Condition Precedent. The effectiveness of this First Amendment is
            subject to the payment by Borrower of an Amendment Fee, as follows:
            $75,000 on June 28, 2002 by PNC charging Borrower's loan account
            with PNC for such amount on that date; plus the payment by Borrower
            to PNC of the sum of $25,000 on the Repayment Date or, at the option
            of Borrower, by the transfer to PNC by Borrower on the Repayment
            Date of the sum of $17,000,000 pursuant to a money management
            agreement for a period of not less than one year. For the purposes
            hereof, "Repayment Date" shall be the first to occur of (a) the date
            when the Obligations are paid in full or (b) August 11, 2002.

      6.    General Provisions. This First Amendment shall for all purposes be
            deemed a part of the Loan Agreement and shall be subject to the
            terms and conditions thereof, as amended hereby. Without limiting
            the foregoing, this First Amendment shall be subject to the
            Miscellaneous provisions set forth in Section 16 of the Loan
            Agreement. This First Amendment may be executed in any number of
            counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each
            of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an
            original, and all of which, including, but not limited to,
            counterparts transmitted by telecopier, when taken together, shall
            constitute but one and the same instrument. The effect of this First
            Amendment is limited to the express terms hereof. No provision of
            the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to
            have been waived, amended or modified in any respect except as and
            to the extent expressly provided herein. Subject to the specific
            terms of this Amendment, each and every term and provision of the
            Loan Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents remains in full
            force and effect without modification, and the same are hereby
            ratified and reaffirmed in all respects. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE
            CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF
            THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAW
            PRINCIPLES OF SUCH STATE).
