               the entire  unpaid  balance of the Term Loan and shall be payable
               on the Renewal Date.

II.       Conditions to Effectiveness of Amendment.  This Amendment shall become

         A.    Amendment.  Borrower  and  Lender  shall have duly  executed  and
               delivered this Amendment.

         B.    Amended and Restated Term Note.  Borrower shall have delivered to
               Lender a fully  executed  Amended and Restated Term Note, in form

               contemplated  hereby as may have  been  reasonably  requested  by
               Lender,  and all  corporate and other  proceedings  and all other
               documents  and  all  legal   matters  in   connection   with  the
               transactions contemplated hereby shall be reasonably satisfactory
               in form and substance to Lender.

          Borrower  shall deliver to Lender a fully  executed copy of a Mortgage
          Modification  with  respect to each  existing  Mortgage on  Borrower's
          owned Real Estate, in form and substance  satisfactory to Lender,  and
          with respect to all existing title policies  insuring Lender's Lien on
          the Mortgaged Real Property,  endorsements issued by the Title Company
          insuring that Lender's Lien (and the priority thereof) is not impacted
          by this Agreement.

Notwithstanding  the  occurrence  of  the  Effective  Date,  the  effect  of the
Amendment set forth in Article I above shall be revoked, terminated and be of no
further  force or effect if such  requirements  set forth in  Article  III above

               A. Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and

               authorized by all necessary corporate action; and

               C.  this  Amendment   constitutes  a  legal,  valid  and  binding
               obligation   of  Borrower,   enforceable   against   Borrower  in
               accordance  with its terms,  except as enforcement may be limited
               by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,  moratorium or similar
               laws affecting the  enforcement of creditors'  rights  generally,
               and by general principles of equity.

          solely for the purpose set forth herein and shall be limited precisely
          as  written,  and  shall  not be  deemed  to (i) be a  consent  to any

          the  Loan  Agreement  or of any  other  Financing  Agreements  or (ii)
          prejudice  any right or rights that Lender may now have or may have in

          Financing  Agreements.  Each  reference in the Loan Agreement to "this
          Agreement",  "herein",  "hereof"  and  words of like  import  and each
          reference  in the other  Financing  Agreements  to the Loan  Agreement
          shall mean the Loan Agreement as amended hereby.  This Amendment shall
          be construed in connection  with and as part of the Loan Agreement and
          all terms,  conditions,  representations,  warranties,  covenants  and
          agreements  set forth in the Loan  Agreement and each other  Financing
          Agreement, except as herein amended or waived, are hereby ratified and
          confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect.

     B.   Costs and  Expenses.  Borrower  shall  pay to  Lender  on  demand  all
          reasonable  out-of-pocket costs, expenses, title fees, filing fees and
          taxes paid or payable in connection with the preparation, negotiation,
          execution,    delivery,   recording,    administration,    collection,
          liquidation,  enforcement  and  defense of the  Obligations,  Lender's
          rights in the  Collateral,  this Amendment,  the Loan  Agreement,  the
          other Financing  Agreements and all other documents  related hereto or
          thereto,  including any amendments,  supplements or consents which may
          hereafter be contemplated (whether or not executed) or entered into in
          respect  hereof and  thereof,  including,  but not limited to: (a) all
          costs  and  expenses  of  filing  or  recording   (including   Uniform
          Commercial Code financing statement filing taxes and fees, documentary
          taxes,  intangibles  taxes and mortgage  recording and title insurance
          taxes and fees,  if  applicable);  (b) costs and expenses and fees for
          title insurance and other insurance  premiums,  environmental  audits,
          surveys, assessments,  engineering reports and inspections,  appraisal
          fees and  search  fees;  (c)  costs and  expenses  of  remitting  loan
          proceeds,  collecting checks and other items of payment;  (d) charges,
          fees or expenses  charged by any bank or issuer in connection with the
          Letter of Credit Accommodations;  (e) costs and expenses of preserving
          and protecting the Collateral; (f) costs and expenses paid or incurred
          in connection with obtaining payment of the Obligations, enforcing the
          security interests and liens of Lender, selling or otherwise realizing
          upon the  Collateral,  and otherwise  enforcing the provisions of this
          Amendment,  the Loan Agreement and the other  Financing  Agreements or
          defending any claims made or threatened  against Lender arising out of
          the transactions  contemplated hereby and thereby (including,  without
          limitation,  preparations  for and  consultations  concerning any such
          matters);  and (g) the fees and  disbursements  of counsel  (including
          legal assistants) to Lender in connection with the foregoing.

     C.   Certain Waivers;  Release.  Although Borrower does not believe that it
          has any claims against Lender,  it is willing to provide Lender with a
          general and total release of all such claims in  consideration  of the
          benefits  which  Borrower  will  receive  pursuant to this  Amendment.
          Accordingly,  Borrower for itself and any successor of Borrower hereby
          knowingly,  voluntarily,  intentionally  and irrevocably  releases and
          discharges Lender and its respective officers,  directors,  agents and
          counsel (each a "Released Party") from any and all actions,  causes of
          action,  suits, sums of money,  accounts,  reckonings,  bonds,  bills,
          specialties,   covenants,   contracts,   controversies,    agreements,
          promises,   variances,   trespasses,   damages,  judgments,   extents,
          executions,   losses,  liabilities,   costs,  expenses,  debts,  dues,
          demands,  obligations or other claims of any kind whatsoever,  in law,
          admiralty  or equity,  which  Borrower  ever had, now has or hereafter
          can,  shall or may have  against any  Released  Party for,  upon or by
          reason of any matter,  cause or thing whatsoever from the beginning of
          the world to the date of this Amendment.

     D.   Counterparts.  This  Amendment  may  be  executed  in  any  number  of
          counterparts,  each such counterpart  constituting an original but all
          together constituting one and the same instrument.

     E.   Severability.  Any provision  contained in this Amendment that is held
          to be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid in any jurisdiction shall,
          as to that  jurisdiction,  be  inoperative,  unenforceable  or invalid
          without  affecting the remaining  provisions of this Amendment in that
          jurisdiction  or the  operation,  enforceability  or  validity of that
          provision in any other jurisdiction.

     F.   GOVERNING LAW. THIS  AMENDMENT  SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND
          INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.

shall be amended by deleting  such section in its entirety and replacing it with
the following:

jurisdiction other than the state of Texas.

     Section 4. Headings.  The section headings  contained in this Amendment are
for  reference  purposes  only and will not  affect  in any way the  meaning  or
