         A. Pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated

         severally  agrees,  on the  terms  and  conditions  set  forth  in this
         Agreement,  to make Loans to the Borrower  from time to time in amounts
         not to exceed in the  aggregate  at any one time  outstanding  the Loan
         Credit Sublimit.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement,  the Borrower
         may  borrow,  repay  and  reborrow  at any time  prior to the  Facility
         Termination Date. The Commitments to lend hereunder shall expire on the

hereby  added to Article I of the  Credit  Agreement,  in  correct  alphabetical
order, to read in its entirety as follows:

                           "`Loan Credit  Sublimit'  means  $6,000,000,  as such

         Commitment  Reduction,  in  accorance  with  Section  4(a)(ii)  of  the
         Intercreditor  Agreement,  and  (b) at  the  times  and  in the  manner
         provided in Section 4(b) of the  Intercreditor  Agreement in connection
         with a Specified Transaction."

                  (d) On the Effective Date and on each date upon which the Loan
Credit  Sublimit  shall be reduced,  the Borrower shall  immediately  pay to the
Administrative  Agent for  distribution  to the Lenders ratably in proportion to
the ratio that their respective Commitments bear to the Aggregate Commitment the
dollar  amount by which  Loans  outstanding  on such date exceed the Loan Credit
Sublimit after giving effect to the reduction  occurring on such date.  Upon the
effective  date of any  reduction  in the Loan Credit  Sublimit,  the  Aggregate
Commitment shall automatically be reduced dollar for dollar.

         2. Extension of Facility  Termination Date. To reflect the agreement of
the parties hereto to extend the term of the credit facilities  evidenced by the
Credit Agreement,  effective as of the Effective Date the definition of the term

         Administrative  Agent for  distribution to the Lenders,  subject to the
         concurrent  payment  to  the  Noteholders  of the  Additional  Required
         Payment  due under the Note  Purchase  Agreement  on such  dates,  that
         portion of each Additional Required Payment payable on such date to the
         extent necessary to reduce the principal amount of Loans outstanding on
         such  date to an amount  not to  exceed  the Loan  Credit  Sublimit  as
         reduced on such date.

                           (iii)  Prior to the  occurrence  of a True-Up  Event,
         upon the occurrence of any Specified  Transaction  the  Obligations are
         subject to mandatory  prepayment from the Net Cash Proceeds  thereof on
         the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the  Intercreditor
         Agreement with a concomitant  automatic and permanent  reduction in the
         Aggregate  Commitment and the Loan Credit  Sublimit,  as set forth more
         particularly in Section 4(b)(ii) of the Intercreditor Agreement."

Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

                           "(ii)  Within  30 days  after  the  last  day of each

parties to include certain  additional  Defaults in the Credit Agreement and the
other  Loan  Documents  in  consideration  for  the  granting  of the  extension
contained herein and to reflect the concurrent  amendment and restatement of the
Intercreditor Agreement,  effective as of the Effective Date, a new Section 7.15
is hereby added to the Credit Agreement to read in its entirety as follows:

                  "7.15 The  Borrower  or any of the  Noteholders  shall fail to
         observe or perform any term or condition of the Intercreditor Agreement
         or shall attempt to rescind or revoke the Intercreditor Agreement as to
         future transactions or otherwise."

         10. Modification of Letter of Credit Facility. To reflect the agreement
of the parties hereto to extend the permitted outside expiration date of certain

                                       7
<PAGE>

Letters of Credit issued under the Credit Agreement and to provide for automatic
renewals of Letters of Credit under certain  circumstances,  effective as of the
Effective Date:

                  (a) Section 2.19 of the Credit  Agreement is hereby amended to
delete the last sentence thereof and to replace the same with the following:

         "Each Letter of Credit  shall be issued  solely in support of workman's
         compensation  insurance  providers  and shall have a stated  expiration
         date no later  than  January 1, 2004.  Each  Letter of Credit  shall be
         automatically  renewed  for  a  one  year  period  upon  the  scheduled
         expiration  date set  forth in such  Letter  of  Credit  and upon  each
         anniversary  of such  expiration  date  unless at least sixty (60) days
         prior to such  expiration  date,  or prior to any  anniversary  of such
         expiration date, the Administrative Agent, as the issuer thereof, shall
         notify both the Borrower and the  beneficiary  of such Letter of Credit
         in writing by registered mail that the Administrative  Agent elects not
         to renew such Letter of Credit."

                  (b) Each Letter of Credit  Outstanding  on the Effective  Date
shall,  at the  request of the  Borrower,  be amended to provide  for  automatic
renewal as provided in Section 2.19 as amended hereby.

                  (c) It is  expressly  acknowledged  and agreed by the Borrower
and  the   Administrative   Agent  that  upon  the  demand  of  any  Lender  the
Administrative Agent shall provide timely notice of non-renewal of any Letter of
Credit."

         11. Retention of Investment  Banker.  On or before January 31, 2003 the
Borrower shall retain an investment banking firm reasonably  satisfactory to the
Lenders (the "Investment Banker") to work with the Borrower's management towards
a  refinancing,   restructuring  or   recapitalization  of  the  Borrower  (such
refinancing,  restructure  or  recapitalization  being referred to herein as the
"Recapitalization  Transaction")  with the goal of  repayment of the Bank Credit
Obligations  and the Senior Note  Obligations (as those terms are defined in the
Intercreditor  Agreement) in full on or before  September 1, 2003.  The Borrower
shall cause an offering  memorandum for the  Recapitalization  Transaction to be
prepared and  distributed no later than April 30, 2003 and shall have obtained a
firm  commitment or signed letter of intent to consummate  the  Recapitalization
Transaction  in form and  substance  reasonably  satisfactory  to the Lenders no
later than July 31, 2003. The Borrower shall organize and participate in monthly
status  conferences  among the Lenders and the  Investment  Banker and cause the
Investment  Banker to provide no less frequently than monthly a status report in
detail   satisfactory   to  the   Lenders   concerning   the   progress  of  the
Recapitalization Transaction,  including, without limitation,  information as to
who has been provided with the offering  memorandum  and the status of responses
with respect thereto. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that in entering into
this Amendment and agreeing to extend the Facility  Termination Date as provided
hereunder,  the Lenders  have  specifically  relied upon the  agreements  of the
Borrower with respect to the  Recapitalization  Transaction  described above and
that the failure of the Borrower to timely comply with such agreements shall, at
the option of the Lenders,  constitute  a Default  under and for all purposes of
the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

         12. Supplemental Facility Fee. Pursuant to that certain Third Amendment
to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 29, 2001, the Borrower
agreed,  in consideration  of the extension of the Facility  Termination Date as
provided  for  therein,  to pay to the  Administrative  Agent  for the  pro-rata
benefit of the Lenders, a supplemental facility fee in the amount of $250,000 on
June 15, 2002 (the "Supplemental  Facility Fee"). The parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that effective as of the Effective Date the Supplemental  Facility Fee
shall now be due and payable on September 1, 2003;  provided,  however,  that if

                                       8
<PAGE>

the  Borrower  shall  have  repaid  the  Obligations  in full  and the  Lenders'
Commitments  shall  have  terminated  or expired  on or before  such  date,  the
obligation  of  the  Borrower  to  pay  the  Supplemental   Facility  Fee  shall
automatically be deemed cancelled by the Lenders.

         13. Waiver of Existing Defaults. Effective as of the Effective Date the
Administrative  Agent, the Documentation  Agent and the Lenders hereby waive the
Defaults  existing  under the Credit  Agreement  by virtue of the failure of the
Borrower to have been in  compliance  with the  requirements  of Sections  6.16,
6.18,  6.19, and 6.20 of the Credit Agreement at and as of the end of the fiscal
quarter of the Borrower ending in December, 2001 and to waive the Defaults which
exist or which will  exist by virtue of the  failure  of the  Borrower  to be in
compliance of the  requirements  of Section 6.16,  6.18,  6.19,  and 6.20 of the
Credit  Agreement  at and as of the end of the fiscal  quarter  of the  Borrower
ending in March, 2002. The Borrower  acknowledges and agrees that such waiver is
given on a one time basis and that nothing  contained herein shall in any manner
or to any extent  constitute  any  agreement of the  Administrative  Agent,  the
Documentation Agent or the Lenders:  (a) to waive any other Default or Unmatured
Default existing at the date hereof,  whether of not the  Administrative  Agent,
the  Documentation  Agent  or the  Lenders  knew or  should  have  known  of the
existence  of such  Default or  Unmatured  Default,  or (b) to waive any Default
occurring following the execution and delivery of this Amendment,  whether under
Sections 6.16,  6.18,  6.19,  6.20 (other than as expressly  provided above with
respect to Defaults  occurring at and as of the end of the fiscal quarter of the
Borrower ending in March, 2002) or otherwise.

         14.      Effective  Date.  This Amendment  shall be effective as of the
date  first  written  above  upon  the  date  (the  "Effective  Date")  that the
Administrative Agent shall have received:

                  (a)      This   Amendment,   duly   executed  by  all  parties
signatory hereto;

                  (b)      Such corporate resolutions,  incumbency  certificates

be  distributed to the Lenders in accordance  with the percentage  each Lender's
Commitment  bears  to the  Aggregate  Commitment  after  giving  effect  to this
Amendment;

                  (e) Evidence  satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that an
amendment to the Intercreditor Agreement in form and substance acceptable to the
Lenders has been or will  concurrently  with the Effective  Date be executed and
delivered  by all  parties  thereto  and that all  conditions  precedent  to the
effectiveness of such amendment will be satisfied; and

                  (f) Such other fees and expenses  (including  attorneys'  fees
and time charges of attorneys for the  Administrative  Agent, the  Documentation
Agent  and the  Lenders)  paid or  incurred  by the  Administrative  Agent,  the
Documentation   Agent  or  any  Lender  in  connection  with  the   preparation,
negotiation,   execution,   delivery,  review,  amendment,   modification,   and
administration of this Amendment  (nothing  contained herein shall in any manner
or to any extent release the Borrower from its obligations  under Section 9.7 of
the Credit  Agreement  to pay such other fees and expenses as may be required to
be paid by the Borrower thereunder).

                                       9
<PAGE>

If the  Effective  Date shall not have occurred on or before April 20, 2002 this
Amendment  shall, at the option of the Lenders as evidenced by written notice to
such effect given by the Lenders to the Borrower, terminate and be of no further
force and effect and the Administrative  Agent, the Documentation  Agent and the
Lenders  may  proceed  to  exercise  any and all  rights,  powers  and  remedies
available to them at law, in equity or otherwise.

         15.  Reaffirmation of the Loan Documents.  The Borrower and each of the
Guarantors by executing  this  Amendment as provided  below,  hereby affirms and
agrees that: (a) the execution and delivery by it of and the  performance of its
obligations under this Amendment shall not in any way amend, impair,  invalidate

without limitation,  the obligations of the Borrower  hereunder),  (c) except as
expressly amended hereby,  the Loan Documents remain in full force and effect as
written and  constitute  valid,  enforceable  obligations  of such  Persons,  as

assigns,  from any and all  liability,  claims,  demands,  damages,  actions and

date hereof arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents,  the  transactions
contemplated  thereby  and any  action  or  inaction  of any of the  above-named
