                  The following is hereby added as a second paragraph to Section
2.13 of the Agreement:

                           "Borrowers further warrant, represent and agree as
                            follows:

                                               ---------------------------
                                    Borrowers are interdependent for their
                                    operational and financial needs, and they
                                    and Lender intend that each Borrower be
                                    jointly and severally liable for each
                                    monetary obligation, warranty and covenant
                                    obligation arising under this Agreement. The

                                    Agreement shall constitute valuable
                                    consideration and reasonably equivalent
                                    value to all Borrowers for the purpose of
                                    binding them and their assets on a joint and

                                    hereunder. Lender may enforce this Agreement
                                    against any Borrower without first making
                                    demand upon or instituting collection
                                    proceedings against any other Borrower.

                                    notice of default;  the  unenforceability
                                    of the Indebtedness against any Borrower

                  extent that (i) audits exceed the scope and effort of the
                  collateral audits customarily performed by Lender respecting
                  the Loan prior to January 1, 2002 (but in no event absent an

6.1.E.   LINES OF BUSINESS.

                  Section 6.1.E is hereby amended by adding the following
                  language as a final sentence thereof:

                           "Absent Lender's prior written consent, Borrowers
                           will engage in no additional lines of business and
                           will not increase beyond two percent (2%) of their
                           consolidated gross income as of their future
                           quarterly financial statements, their participation
                           in any present line of business which contributed
                           less than one percent (1%) of their consolidated
                           gross income as of their financial statements dated
                           as of July 31, 2001. For the purpose of this
                           provision, the mere sale of an additional product

                           that is reasonably related to an existing line of
                           business shall not be regarded as a separate line of
                           business as long as the sale of the product does not
                           introduce novel liability or operational
                           requirements. For example, the mere sale of casualty
                           insurance for an agent's fee would be regarded as a
                           different line of business from the underwriting of
                           casualty insurance, but the addition of new
                           credit-related insurance products to Borrower's
                           product line to be sold as agent would be regarded as
                           an expansion of product lines within a line of
                           business and not as a separate line of business.
                           Without limiting the foregoing, Borrowers will not
                           expand the scope of their insurance underwriting
                           activities beyond its present product offerings
                           without Lender's prior written consent."

                           senior management succession plan delivered to and

                           Borrower, such modification shall be approved in

6.2.D.   ADDITIONAL NEGATIVE COVENANT (SECTION 6.2.D).

                  The following sentence is hereby added as the last sentence to

                           Borrower further agrees not to exercise its right to
                           redeem or prepay any Subordinated Debt prior to its
                           stated maturity without Lender's prior written
                           approval. This restriction applies to voluntary
                           redemptions or prepayments only, and does not
                           restrict redemptions that may occur (i) at the
                           election of the holder of Subordinated Debt under the
                           terms thereof, rather than at the election of
                           Borrower, or (ii) as may be required by applicable
                           law or by a regulator; provided, however, Lender does
                           not consent to any redemption that would violate the
                           terms of subordination set forth in the Indenture and
                           Notes establishing the Subordinated Debt.

                           requirements of the position by ordinary industry
                           standards.
