     WHEREAS, the Company, the Lenders and the Agent desire to amend the Loan
Agreement;

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree to amend the Loan Agreement as
follows:

1.  Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is amended by adding the following words
    to the end of the definition of "APPROVED APPRAISAL": "or subsection
    2.10C(3), as the case may be".

2.  Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is amended by deleting the number ".58"

    replacing therefor the number ".604".

3.  Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is amended by adding the following
    definition in appropriate alphabetic order: "INVESTMENT GUIDELINES means the
    investment guidelines of the Company in the form attached hereto as Schedule
    6.3."

4.  Section 2.10C(1)(B) of the Loan Agreement is amended by deleting the
    reference to "(commencing with the appraisals delivered in November, 2001),
    and in any event by no later than May 20 and November 20 of each year" in

<PAGE>
6.   Section 2.10C(2) of the Loan Agreement is amended by deleting the word
     "and" after "AVITAS, Inc." and replacing it with a comma and by adding
     after "Simat Hellieson & Eichner, Inc.:" (also referred to herein as
     "SH&E"), Morton Beyer & Agnew, BACK Associates, Aviation Specialists Group
     and Air Claims".

7.   A new Section 2.10C(3) is added to the Loan Agreement immediately after
     Section 2.10C(2):

          "(3) Procedure for Contesting Appraisals. Following delivery to the
     Company of an Approved Appraisal pursuant to Section 2.10C(1)(B), the
     Company may contest such Approved Appraisal, but only as provided in, and
     subject to the terms and conditions of, this Section 2.10C(3). The Company
     must give the Agent written notice of the Company's election to contest
     such Approved Appraisal within five (5) Business Days of the Company's
     receipt of such Approved Appraisal (the "First Appraisal", and the Approved
     Appraiser delivering the First Appraisal, the "First Appraiser"), such
     notice to include the name of a second Approved Appraiser (the "Second
     Appraiser") selected by the Company to provide an appraisal and inspection
     report of the Borrowing Base Collateral (the "Second Appraisal"). If the
     Agent does not receive (A) written notice of the Company's election to
     contest the First Appraisal within such five (5) Business Day period and
     otherwise in compliance with the immediately preceding sentence or (B) the
     Second Appraisal within the time required by the immediately succeeding
     sentence, the First Appraisal shall remain the "Approved Appraisal" for all
     purposes hereof and shall be final, non-appealable and binding on the
     Company, the Agent and the Lenders. In the event that the Company provides
     such notice of contest to the Agent, the Company shall provide a copy of
     the Second Appraisal to the Agent not later than twenty eight (28) days
     after the date that the First Appraisal was delivered to the Company. The
     Agent may contest the Second Appraisal by giving the Company written notice
     of such contest not later than five (5) Business Days after the Agent's
     receipt of the Second Appraisal, such notice also to be given to the First
     Appraiser and Second Appraiser and to request them to jointly select
     another Approved Appraiser (the "Review Appraiser" and, together with the
     First Appraiser and Second Appraiser, the "Selected Appraisers") by a date
     not later than two (2) Business Days after the date that the Agent provided
     notice to the Company, the First Appraiser and the Second Appraiser that it
     contests the Second Appraisal (provided, however, that if, for any reason,
     the First Appraiser and Second Appraiser fail to make such joint selection,
     the Agent shall select the Review Appraiser). If the Company does not
     receive written notice of the Agent's election to contest the Second
     Appraisal within such five (5) Business Day period and otherwise in
     compliance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Second Appraisal
     shall be the "Approved Appraisal" for all purposes hereof and shall be
     final, non-appealable and binding on the Company, the Agent and the
     Lenders. The Review Appraiser shall be provided with copies of the First
     Appraisal and Second Appraisal, and shall review and analyze such
     appraisals and any related source materials, inspection reports or other
     data or materials as and to the extent that such Review Appraiser in its
     sole discretion deems reasonable or necessary. The Review Appraiser shall
     not be bound by either the First Appraisal or the Second Appraisal, and may
     conduct its own inspection and review of the Borrowing Base Collateral. The
     Review Appraiser shall, within twenty eight (28) days of its selection,
     provide the Agent and the Company with its appraisal of the Borrowing Base
     Collateral (the

                                       2

<PAGE>
     "Review Appraisal"), which shall be the "Approved Appraisal" for all
     purposes hereof and shall be final, non-appealable and binding on the
     Company, the Agent and the Lenders. The Company shall fully cooperate with
     all of the Selected Appraisers with regard to furnishing data and Borrowing
     Base Collateral inspections reasonably required by such Selected
     Appraisers, all of which shall be accomplished in accordance with the
     applicable Security Agreements. The Company and the Agent shall request
     each Selected Appraiser to share with each other Selected Appraiser data
     and other information relevant to their respective appraisals of the
     Borrowing Base Collateral to the extent practicable and otherwise
     consistent with the policies of such Selected Appraiser. The Company shall
     bear all of the costs and expenses of the Selected Appraisers."

8.   Section 2.10D of the Loan Agreement is amended by deleting the reference to
     "25th day of each May and November" in such section and replacing therefor
     "25th day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding
     Business Day) of each June and December commencing June 25, 2004 (or, if
     the Approved Appraisal is contested as provided in Section 2.10C(3), not
     later than five (5) Business Days after the Agent has notified the Company
     that the First Appraisal, Second Appraisal or Review Appraisal (each as
     defined in Section 2.10C(3)) as the case may be has become the Approved
     Appraisal in accordance with Section 2.10C(3))".

9.   Section 6.3(ii) of the Loan Agreement is amended by deleting such section
     and replacing therefor: "Investments consisting of Cash Equivalents,
     provided, that, as long as the Company and its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries
     have at least $150,000,000 in Cash or Cash Equivalents (in either case that
     are free from all Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances of the type
     described in clause (xiii) of the definition of Permitted Encumbrances and
     without regard to Cash and Cash Equivalents in the Cash Collateral
     Account)), the Company may make Investments with respect to amounts in
     excess of such $150,000,000 in accordance with the Company's Investment
     Guidelines even if such investments do not consist of Cash Equivalents;".

10.  The Loan Agreement is amended by adding a new Section 6.15 as follows:

"6.15     LIMITATION ON CHANGES TO INVESTMENT GUIDELINES

     The Company shall not amend or modify (or consent to or permit any
amendment of modification of) the Investment Guidelines without the prior
written consent of the Agent."

11.  The Loan Agreement is amended by adding new Schedule 6.3 in the form
     attached hereto.

12.  In connection with Mizuho succeeding IBJ as Agent, the Company shall
     promptly upon demand (but in any event no later than five (5) Business Days
     after demand) (i) execute and deliver any instruments of amendment,
     amendment agreements, UCC amendment financing statements of similar
     instruments necessary or appropriate to continue to perfect the Agent's
     security interest in the Collateral and/or otherwise to reasonably protect
     the Agent's security interest in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
     to the Agent and (ii) pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including,
     without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses) in

                                       3

     Daugherty, Fowler, Peregrin & Haught, with respect to the Agent's security
     interest in the Rotables, Spare Engines, Spare Parts and Aircraft and (z)
     Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., with respect to UCC filings made to perfect
     the Agent's security interest in the Rotables.

13.  This Amendment No. 1 shall not become effective until all of the following
conditions precedent have been met as determined by the Agent:

          (i)       The Agent shall have received a counterpart of this
Amendment No. 1 duly executed and delivered by the Company, the Agent and the
Lenders.

          (ii)      The Loan Agreement shall be in full force and effect, no

the Agent and the Company agree that the Agent with the Company's consent (not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall revise Sections 3, 9, 10 and 11 of

C.   INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO GUIDELINES

     C.   The investment goals of the Return Portfolio shall be:

          1.   To preserve capital, and

          2.   To earn a higher return that the Liquidity Portfolio by
               maintaining a target average duration over a market cycle
               approximately equal to the duration of the Merrill Lynch Index
               of One to Three Year Treasury Securities and by investing in
               securities with a maximum duration of individual securities
               (less than or equal to) five (5) years.

          2.   To earn a total rate of return (net of fees and expenses) in
               excess of the return on the Merrill Lynch Index of One to Three
               Year Treasury Securities.

     E.   Eligible Investments

          1.   Direct obligations of the US Treasury such as Treasury Bills,
               Treasury Notes and Treasury Bonds.

          2.   Securities issued or guaranteed by the US Government, its
               agencies or instrumentalities Obligations issued by US
               Government agencies and instrumentalities include such
               obligations as Government National Mortgage Association
               pass-through certificates (supported by the full faith and
               credit of the United States); securities of Federal Home Loan
               Banks (supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the
               Treasury); and Federal National Mortgage Association obligations

               aside to the extent that Company indebtedness with a commercial
               bank may be offset by any outstanding investments or other
               accounts

      Organizations (NRSRO).

5.    REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS Transactions in which the purchaser acquires a
      security and simultaneously agrees to sell it back at a higher price,
      normally within seven days. Such agreements may be entered into with
      domestic and foreign organizations, including banks and broker-dealers.
      The underlying securities must be securities which are eligible for direct
      investment by the Company.

6.    MONEY MARKET MUTUAL FUNDS ("MONEY FUNDS") No-load mutual funds which seek
      to maximize current income for shareholders consistent with the
      preservation of capital by investing in a diverse portfolio of high
      quality, short-term instruments. The funds strive to maintain a constant
      share price and offer daily purchase and redemption privileges.

7.    FIXED AND FLOATING RATE CORPORATE DEBENTURES AND MEDIUM-TERM NOTES Short
      to medium-term debt issuances of major corporations and financial
      institutions. The ratings of the issue/issuer must have a long term debt
      rating of "A" or better by any two NRSRO.

8.    ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES Securities collateralized with consumer
      receivables, such as automobile loans, credit card receivables, or home
      equity loans, which are owned by the issuer, but placed with a trustee for
      the benefit of the investor. Asset-backed securities must be rated Aaa by
      Moody's Investor Services or AAA by S&P with a maximum final stated
      maturity of five(5) years.

9.    MORTGAGE PASS-THROUGH SECURITIES Securities collateralized with
      residential mortgage loans, the principal and interest payments of which
      are distributed, or "passed-through" to the investor. Many of these
      securities are issued by agencies of the federal government, including
      GNMA and FHLMC. These securities must be issued by US government agencies
      with a maximum stated final maturity of five(5) years.

10.   COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS (CMOs) Classes of bonds which
      redistribute the cash flows of mortgage securities (and whole loans) to
      create securities which have different levels of prepayment risk, as
      compared to the underlying mortgage securities. CMOs must be rated Aaa or
      AAA with stable cash flow characteristics and a duration of five(5) years
      or less under all possible prepayment scenarios.

11.  Tax-Exempt and Tax-Advantages Securities Limited to issues rated MIG1, A1,
     P1, or AA, or higher.

     a.  Tax-exempt commercial paper  Short term commercial paper issued by
         tax-exempt entities.

     b.  Variable rate demand obligations  Long-term obligations of tax-exempt
         entities which have variable interest rates, and which reset
         periodically based on a specified index and formula. Because these
         obligations always have current market interest rates, they trade near
         their par value, and thus, are considered short-term instruments.

     c.  Fixed rate, fixed maturity municipal notes, including long-term notes
         with a "put" at the sole option of the investor.

     d.  "Dutch auction" rate preferred stock (including tax-exempt trusts)
         rated AA or higher. These are preferred stock issues, the dividend rate
         of which is established periodically by means of a Dutch auction,
         wherein all investors receive the highest dividend rate which "clears"
         the market. Under current tax law, portions of dividends received by
         the Company from investments in preferred stock are subject, under
         certain condition, to exclusion from income for purposes of calculation
         of corporate income tax.

         The dividends from preferred stock issued by tax-exempt trusts are 100%
         free from federal corporate income tax.

           ("HPHI")

Dear Rodger:

        In connection with the June 2001 sale of HealthPlan Services, Inc. by
PVC to HPHI, PVC issued to HPHI 811,726 shares of Common Stock (the "Purchased
Shares") and a $5 million convertible promissory note (the "Note"). In addition,
HPHI and PVC entered into that certain registration rights agreement, dated as
of June 18, 2001 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), pursuant to which PVC
granted to HPHI various registration rights with respect to the Purchased Shares
and Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement).

        On August 1, 2001, in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement,
PVC filed a registration statement on Form S-1 covering the Purchased Shares (as
well as shares owned by certain other stockholders), which, to date, has not
been made effective. As a result of PVC's failure to effect the registration of
the Purchased Shares, under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, PVC
has issued to HPHI 100,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Late Registration
Penalty Shares") as penalty payments for its failure to effect the registration
statement by certain specified dates and 100,000 shares of Common Stock (the
"Redemption Default Cap Shares") for its failure to redeem the Purchased Shares
for cash.

        PVC issued to HPHI 27,726 shares of Common Stock on March 18, 2002 as
interest under the Note (for the period from June 18, 2001 through December 31,
2001) and an additional 13,826 shares of Common Stock on June 7, 2002 as
interest under the Note (for the period from January 1,

2002 through April 12, 2002, the date of conversion of the Note) (in the
aggregate, the "Interest Shares").

        On April 12, 2002, PVC completed a debt restructuring transaction (the
"Restructuring") with its senior lenders. In connection with the Restructuring,
the Note was converted into 813,273 shares of Common Stock (the "Conversion
Shares").

        PVC intends to commence an underwritten public offering (the "Offering")
of shares of Common Stock, the proceeds of which will be used primarily to repay
outstanding amounts owed to its senior lenders under the Restructuring and to
redeem the shares of Series C preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, issued
to PVC's senior lenders in connection with the Restructuring (the "Series C
Preferred Stock"). PVC has prepared a registration statement on Form S-1 (the
"Registration Statement") to register the shares of Common Stock to be sold in
the Offering. PVC intends to include shares of Common Stock held by certain
stockholders, with respect to which PVC has granted registration rights, in the
Offering. PVC has provided to HPHI a draft of the Registration Statement for
HPHI's review, and a copy of the Registration Statement as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

        In addition, PVC has agreed to register for resale on a shelf
registration statement as soon as practicable after the 180-day period following
the consummation of the Offering (the "Lock-Up Period"), certain shares of
Common Stock that will not be included in the Offering, but with respect to
which PVC has granted registration rights, and HPHI has agreed to comply with
certain selling restrictions during the Lock-Up Period, to the extent applicable
to HPHI (as herein provided).

        In light of the foregoing and pursuant to our recent conversations, HPHI
and PVC hereby agree as follows:

        1. HPHI will not request a demand registration pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement while the Offering is pending, but if the Offering
has not been consummated by August 12, 2002, this provision will be of no
further force or effect.

        2. Immediately following the consummation of the Offering, PVC will
redeem the Conversion Shares in exchange for $5 million in cash from the
proceeds of the Offering. In the event that any of the Conversion Shares are not
redeemed by PVC upon completion of the Offering, then at HPHI's election, the
Company will register such shares on the shelf registration statement as
provided in paragraph 5 hereof and in no event shall the Conversion Shares be
subject to the restrictions set forth in paragraph 3 hereof during the Lock-Up
Period.

        3. PVC will register the 811,726 Purchased Shares, the 100,000 Late
Registration Penalty Shares and the 41,552 Interest Shares (collectively, the
"Eligible Shares") in the Offering. At or prior to the time of pricing, HPHI
must elect, irrevocably, whether or not to sell the Eligible Shares in the
Offering (which election shall either be to sell all or none of such Eligible
Shares), by

executing and delivering a notice, in the form of Attachment A hereto, to
                                                  ------------
Friedman, Billings, Ramsey & Co., Inc., 1001 Nineteenth Street North, Arlington,
VA 22209; Attn: Peter van der Meer; facsimile (703) 312-9698. Should HPHI elect
to sell the Eligible Shares in the Offering, HPHI will execute an underwriting
agreement with Friedman, Billings, Ramsey & Co., Inc. ("FBR"), PVC's managing
underwriters in the Offering, and PVC, pursuant to which HPHI will agree to sell
the Eligible Shares in the Offering in accordance with the terms thereof. In the
event that FBR recommends a reduction in the number of shares to be sold in the
Offering, HPHI will receive priority over any other selling stockholder with
respect to the sale of its shares in the Offering, and will be the last selling
stockholder to be required to reduce the number of shares to be sold.
Additionally, to the extent that any of the Eligible Shares are cut back by FBR,
PVC or otherwise, these Eligible Shares shall not be subject to the Lock-Up
Agreement referred to below. Should HPHI elect not to sell the Eligible Shares
in the Offering, HPHI will enter into a lock-up agreement with FBR, containing
terms and conditions customary for a lock-up agreement, the terms of which will
include HPHI's agreement that, except as provided in the immediately preceding
sentence, during the Lock-Up Period, it will not, without the prior written
consent of FBR, (1) exercise any registration rights granted to it under the
Registration Rights Agreement or (2) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell
any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell,
grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or
dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Eligible Shares not being sold in the
Offering or any Redemption Default Cap Shares or any other equity securities of
PVC that it may acquire, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for equity securities of PVC, or enter into any swap or other
arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic
consequences of ownership of such equity securities of PVC, whether any such
transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in
cash or otherwise (the "Lock-Up Agreement").

        4. If FBR exercises its right to increase the size of the Offering by
purchasing additional shares pursuant to the 30-day option to be contained in
the Underwriting Agreement (the "Green Shoe Option"), to the extent that the
proceeds to PVC from the exercise of the Green Shoe Option are sufficient, PVC
will redeem the Redemption Default Cap Shares to the extent the proceeds permit
and the redemption price shall be the offering price per share for shares sold
in the offering net of underwriting discounts and commissions.

        5. If the offering closes and the Redemption Default Cap Shares are not
fully redeemed, such unredeemed shares shall be subject to the Lock-Up Agreement
and, following the Lock-Up Period, subject to all other existing registration
rights granted as of the date hereof, PVC will register the Redemption Default
Cap Shares, which were not redeemed pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 4
above, if any, on a registration statement to be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the sale, on a continuous or delayed basis, of shares of
Common Stock held by certain stockholders (the "Shelf Registration Statement").
In addition, should HPHI elect not to sell or be unable to sell (as a result of
a required reduction by FBR as described in paragraph 3 above) any of the
Eligible Shares in the Offering, PVC will register such shares on the Shelf
Registration Statement. In the event that any of the Conversion Shares are not
redeemed

upon completion of the Offering, HPHI may also elect to include any such
Conversion Shares in the Shelf Registration Statement.

        6. Should HPHI elect to include the Eligible Shares in the Offering,
such registration will fulfill PVC's registration obligation pursuant to Section
2.1 of the Registration Rights Agreement and will constitute an exercise of
HPHI's "piggy-back" registration rights with respect to such shares. Except as
set forth above, unless and until all of HPHI's PVC shares covered thereby are
disposed of in a transaction in which no registration rights continue in
accordance with the terms thereof, all rights granted to HPHI under the
Registration Rights Agreement remain in full force and effect including, without
limitation, HPHI's right to two demand registrations.

        7. Notwithstanding anything stated herein, the foregoing agreements
shall be of no force and effect in the event that the Offering is not
consummated by August 12, 2002. Any reference to a number of shares of Common
Stock in this letter agreement does not reflect the effect of PVC's contemplated
one-for-five reverse stock split that is to take effect prior to the effective
date of the Offering, and is subject to adjustment for such reverse stock split.

        Please sign where indicated below to indicate your acceptance of the
foregoing. I very much appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

                                                     Sincerely yours,

                                                     /s/ Phillip S. Dingle

                                                     Phillip S. Dingle
                                                     Chairman of the Board

AGREED AND ACCEPTED this 2 day of July, 2002:
