     The  Company  requests  that  you consent to the amendments to the Existing

4.     REPRESENTATIONS  AND  WARRANTIES  OF  THE  COMPANY.

     To  induce  you  to  enter  into  this  Agreement  and  to  consent  to the
Amendments,  the  Company  represents  and  warrants  as  follows:

     4.1     ORGANIZATION  AND  EXISTENCE.

     The  Company  is a corporation duly organized and existing in good standing
under  the  laws  of the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power
and  authority  to  execute  and  deliver  this  Agreement  and  to  perform its
obligations  under  the  Amended  Note  Purchase  Agreement.

     4.2     ACTIONS  PENDING.

     There  are  no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to
the  knowledge  of  the  Company,  threatened  against the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries,  or  any  properties  or  rights  of  the  Company  or  any of its
Subsidiaries,  by  or  before  any  court,  arbitrator  or  administrative  or
governmental  body  that,  individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be
expected  to  have  a  Material  Adverse  Effect.

     4.3     AMENDMENT  AUTHORIZED;  OBLIGATIONS  ENFORCEABLE.

     (a)     AGREEMENT  IS  LEGAL AND AUTHORIZED.  The execution and delivery by
the  Company  of  this  Agreement, and compliance by the Company with all of the
provisions  of  the  Amended  Note  Purchase Agreement, are within the corporate
powers  of  the  Company.

     (b)     COMPANY  OBLIGATIONS  ARE  ENFORCEABLE.  The   Company   has   duly
authorized  this  Agreement by all necessary action on its part.  This Agreement
has  been  executed and delivered by one or more duly authorized officers of the
Company,  and  each  of  this  Agreement and the Amended Note Purchase Agreement
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in
accordance  with  its  terms,  except  that  the  enforceability thereof may be:

     (i)     limited  by  applicable  bankruptcy,  reorganization,  arrangement,
insolvency,  moratorium,  or  other similar laws affecting the enforceability of
creditors'  rights  generally;  and

     (ii)     subject  to  the  availability  of  equitable  remedies.

     4.4     NO  CONFLICTS.

     Neither  the  execution  nor delivery of this Agreement, nor fulfillment of
nor  compliance  with  the  terms  and  provisions  of the Amended Note Purchase
Agreement  and  the other Financing Documents will conflict with, or result in a
breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under,
or result in any violation of, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of
the  Properties  of  the  Company  or  any  of its Subsidiaries pursuant to, the
charter  or  bylaws  of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any award of any
arbitrator  or  any  agreement  (including  any  agreement  with  stockholders),
instrument,  order,  judgment, decree, statute, law, rule or regulation to which
the  Company  or  any  of  its  Subsidiaries  is  subject.

      4.5     GOVERNMENTAL  CONSENT.

     Neither  the  execution and delivery of this Amendment, nor the performance
by  the Company of its obligations under the Amended Note Purchase Agreement and
the other Financing Documents, is such as to require any authorization, consent,
approval,  exemption or other action by or notice to or filing with any court or
administrative  or  governmental  body  (other  than  routine  filings  with the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  and/or state Blue Sky authorities) on the
part  of  the  Company  in  connection  with  the execution and delivery of this

negotiation  of  the  Amendments,  taken  as  a whole, do not contain any untrue
statement  of  a  material  fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to
make  the  statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under
which  they  were  made.  There  is  no  fact  known  to  the Company that could
reasonably  be  expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set
forth  herein  or  in  the  other  documents,  certificates  and  other writings

[COPY  OF  EXECUTED  SECOND  BANK  AMENDMENT]EXHIBIT 10.142

                                 AMENDMENT NO. 1
                                       TO
                           LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

         This AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this "Amendment")
is made this 3rd day of March, 2000, between DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a
Nevada corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("Borrower"), and
SOUTHTRUST BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("Bank"), with its principal office in
Birmingham, Alabama ("Bank") to record their agreement regarding modification of
the Loan Agreement dated June 2, 1999, between Bank and Borrower (the "Loan
Agreement"). Bank and Borrower agree as follows:

         1. BACKGROUND. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Loan
Agreement, Bank committed to make available, among other credit facilities, a
revolving line of credit up to $10,000,000 (the "Revolving Loan"). To evidence
the Revolving Loan, Borrower executed in favor of Bank a Revolving Loan
Promissory Note (the "Note") in the amount of $10,000,000. Borrower has
requested an increase in the amount of the Revolving Loan, and Bank has agreed
to grant that increase under the terms and conditions provided in this
Amendment.

         2.       MODIFICATION.  The Loan Agreement is amended as follows:

                  (a) Section 1.4 is amended by deleting reference to
         "$10,000,000" and replacing it with "$23,000,000."

                  (b) Section 1.42 is amended by deleting reference to
         "$10,000,000" and replacing it with "$23,000,000."

                  (c) Section 1.46(h) is amended in its entirety to read as
         follows: "(h) not Inventory deemed ineligible by Bank in its sole
         discretion; provided, however, the Loan Value of Inventory shall not at
         any time exceed the lesser of $11,500,000 or one-half (1/2) of the
         aggregate outstanding balance of the Revolving Loan, unless otherwise
         agreed in writing by Bank at any time in its sole discretion."

                  (d) Section 2.1(a) is amended by deleting reference to
         "$10,000,000" and replacing it with $23,000,000." This Section is
         further amended the second to the last sentence in its entirety to read
         as follows: "Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
         Loan Value of Inventory shall not at any time exceed the lesser of
         $11,500,000 or one-half (1/2) of the aggregate outstanding balance of
         the Revolving Loan."

                  (e) Section 2.1(c) is amended by deleting reference to
         "December 31, 1999" and replacing it with "June 30, 2000."
<PAGE>

                  (f) Section 2.1(f) is amended by deleting "$10,000,000" and
         replacing it with "$23,000,000."

                  (g) Section 2.1(g) is amended by deleting "June 30, 2002" and
         replacing it with "July 1, 2002."

                  (h) Section 2.9 is amended by adding the following sentence:
         "Further, Borrower shall pay to Bank an agent fee of $5,000 that will
         be assessed annually throughout the term of the Loans, and shall be due
         and payable on the day of the closing of this Amendment and on the 1st
         day of the March of each year of the term thereafter."

                  (i) Section 6.23(e) is amended by deleting "$5,000,000" and
         replacing it with "$7,500,000."

                  (j) Section 7.10 is amended by deleting "$1,000,000" and
         replacing it with "$2,000,000."

                  (k) Section 7.11 is amended by deleting the last sentence and
         replacing it with:

                           Borrower acknowledges that Bank, in its sole and
                  absolute discretion, will determine whether or not the
                  addition of acquired assets will result in more eligible
                  Inventory and Eligible Accounts for borrowing base purposes.
                  In making this determination, Borrower agrees to make
                  available to Bank any and all information Bank deems necessary
                  or appropriate to conduct its due diligence investigation
                  concerning the acquired assets.

                  (k) New Sections 2.11 through 2.13 are added to the Loan
         Agreement which read as follows:

                          2.11. DEPOSITS UNAVAILABLE. If Bank determines that
                  (a) dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the
                  relevant Interest Period are not available to Bank in its
                  relevant market; or (b) by reason of circumstances affecting
                  Bank's relevant market, adequate means do not exist for
                  ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to LIBOR
                  Loans, then, upon notice from Bank to Borrower, the
                  obligations of Bank to make or continue any Revolving Loans
                  as, or to convert any Loans into, LIBOR Loans will be
                  suspended until Bank notifies Borrower that the circumstances
                  causing this suspension no longer exist.

                          2.12. INCREASED LIBOR LOAN COSTS, ETC. Borrower shall
                  reimburse Bank for any increase in the cost to Bank of, or any
                  reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by Bank in
                  respect of, making, continuing or maintaining (or of its
                  obligation to make, continue or maintain) Loans as, or of
                  converting (or of its obligation to convert) any Loans into,
                  LIBOR Loans as a result of any change in any

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

                  law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive or in the
                  interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by
                  Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the
                  force of law) from any court, central bank, governmental
                  authority, agency or instrumentality, or comparable agency,
                  including but not limited to:

                           (a) any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any
                  LIBOR Loan, the Revolving Note or any Bank's obligation to
                  make any LIBOR Loan is imposed, modified or deemed applicable,
                  or the basis of taxation of payments to Bank of the principal
                  of, or interest on, any LIBOR Loan (other than taxes imposed
                  on the overall net income of such Bank by the jurisdiction in
                  which such Bank has its principal office) is changed after the
                  date hereof;

                           (b) any reserve, special deposit, special assessment
                  or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for
                  the account of, or credit extended by, Bank is imposed,
                  modified or is changed after the date hereof; or

                           (c) any other condition affecting this Agreement or
                  any LIBOR Loan is imposed on Bank or its relevant market after
                  the date hereof.

                  Bank shall promptly notify Borrower in writing of the
                  occurrence of any such change, such notice to state, in
                  reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional
                  amount required fully to compensate Bank for such increased
                  cost or reduced amount. Borrower shall not be obligated to
                  Bank for any cost incurred pursuant to this section before 30
                  days prior to the later of (y) the incurrence of the cost or
                  (z) the retroactive application of such a change causing such
                  incurrence. Such additional amounts shall be payable by
                  Borrower directly to Bank within 15 days of its receipt of
                  such notice, and such notice shall be rebuttable presumptive
                  evidence of that additional amounts are due.

                           2.13 INCREASED CAPITAL COSTS. If any change in, or
                  the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation,
                  reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation,
                  directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not
                  having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator
                  or other governmental authority affects or would affect the
                  amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by
                  Bank or any Person controlling Bank, and Bank determines (in
                  its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on
                  its or such controlling Person's capital as a consequence of
                  the Loans made by Bank is reduced to a level below that which
                  Bank or such controlling Person could have achieved but for
                  the occurrence of any such circumstance, Borrower shall,
                  within 15 days of its receipt of notice from Bank, pay
                  directly to Bank additional amounts sufficient to compensate
                  Bank or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of
                  return; provided, that Borrower shall not be obligated to
                  reimburse Bank for any cost incurred pursuant to this section
                  more than 30 days prior to the later of (y) the incurrence of
                  the cost or (z) the retroactive application of such a change
                  causing such incurrence. A statement of Bank as to

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

                  any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations
                  thereof in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of
                  manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Borrower. In
                  determining such amount, Bank may use any commercially
                  reasonable method of averaging and attribution.

         3. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THIS AMENDMENT. In addition to any other

         5. COVENANT OF BORROWER.

                  (a) Borrower covenants and agrees that the existing line of
         credit between Lockwood Sign Group, Inc. and Branch Bank & Trust in the
         principal amount of approximately $2,000,000 will be paid and satisfied
         in full (including the recording of all documents and instruments
         necessary to evidence this satisfaction and the release of all
         collateral), and that all agreements and documents evidencing that line
         of credit shall be terminated within thirty (30) days of the date of
         this Amendment. Evidence of the satisfaction of this line of credit and
         release of all collateral shall be provided to Bank within this thirty
         (30) day period. Failure to pay off the line of credit, satisfy the
         same in full, obtain a release of all collateral and terminate all
         agreements evidencing the line of credit in the thirty (30) day period
         shall constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement. Bank
         recognizes the satisfaction of this line of credit is a permitted use
         of proceeds under Section 2.6 of the Loan Agreement.

                  (b) Borrower acknowledges that Bank may, at its option, sell
         participation interests in the Loans to participating banks pursuant to
         Section 12.11 of the Loan Agreement. In addition to the covenants
         relating to such participation rights set forth in the Loan Agreement,
         Borrower shall execute any participation agreement reasonably requested
         by Bank and a participating bank to evidence the terms of the
         participating bank's relationship with Bank and Borrower.

         6. JOINDER. Lockwood Sign Group, Inc. agrees to be bound as Borrower
under the Loan Agreement, this Amendment and all other loan documents as if it
were an original party to the Loan Agreement.

         7. OTHER PROVISIONS. All capitalized terms that are used but not
expressly defined in this Amendment have the respective meanings ascribed to
them in the Loan Agreement, and the definitions of those terms in the Loan
Agreement are incorporated by reference in this Amendment. This Amendment and
the documents contemplated by it record the final, complete, and exclusive
understanding between Bank and Borrower regarding the modification of the Loan
Agreement. Except as amended and modified by this Amendment, the Loan Agreement,
and the other Loan Documents remain in full force and effect in accordance with
their respective terms and this Amendment shall not constitute a novation.
Borrower acknowledges that the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents are
not subject to any defenses, counterclaims, or rights of set-off. Bank has not
waived, and does not waive, any of its rights under the Loan Agreement or any
other Loan Document. This Amendment will become effective when it or a
counterpart of it has been executed by Bank and Borrower.

         8. COUNTERPARTS. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts. Each
executed counterpart will constitute an original document, and all executed
counterparts, together, will constitute the same agreement.

                                      -6-
