NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1. Effective Net Worth. Section 1.17 of the Loan Agreement shall be and is
hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
"1.17 "Effective Net Worth" means the Tangible Net Worth of
Borrower, plus the outstanding principal balance of the Subordinated
Indebtedness, minus any increase or plus any non-cash decrease in
the Tangible Net Worth of Borrower as a result of a conversion

-1-
other extensions of credit to Borrower in an aggregate amount not
exceeding at any time the lesser of: the (i) Borrowing Base, plus

3. Equipment Purchase Sublimit. Unless and until the Components Division
is sold upon terms and conditions acceptable to Bank, the Equipment Purchase
Sublimit shall not be available to Borrower.
4. Overadvance Payment Moratorium. Section 2.1(c) of the Loan Agreement
shall be and is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
"(c) In addition to the sums otherwise available to Borrower in
accordance with the Borrowing Base calculation, during the Initial
Permitted Out-of-Formula Period only, Borrower may borrow an
additional amount under the Line not to exceed the Permitted
Out-of-Formula Advance. Commencing on June 10, 1997, and on the 10th
day of each of the next sixteen (16) consecutive months thereafter,
the Permitted Out-of-Formula Advance will be reduced by an amount
equal to One Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($175,000.00) per
month and a final payment of all remaining amounts outstanding
thereunder will occur on December 10, 1998. In any event, the entire
Permitted Out-of-Formula Advance, together with all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, will be reduced to zero by, and will no
longer be available to Borrower after, December 10, 1998.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank agrees to waive the required
principal installments for the Permitted Out-of-Formula Advance due
on July 10, 1997 and on August 10, 1997, provided that such waiver
is expressly conditioned upon the following:
(i) Borrower shall at all times hereafter diligently pursue
the sale of the Components Division,
(ii) an agreement of sale for the sale of the Components
Division, as fully executed and delivered by all parties thereto and
with terms and conditions acceptable to Bank, shall be delivered to

(iii) the sale of the Components Division contemplated by the
foregoing agreement of sale shall be consummated by not later than
September 30, 1997.
If the foregoing conditions described in subsections (i) and (ii)
above are not met, on September 10, 1997 Borrower shall pay to Bank
the sum of Five Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($525,000.00)
in payment of the required principal installments for the reduction
of the permitted Out-of-Formula Advance which would have otherwise
been due and payable on July 10, 1997, August 10, 1997 and September
10, 1997.
In consideration of Bank's agreement to waive the July 10, 1997 and
August 10, 1997 payments, Borrower agrees to pay to Bank the entire
federal income tax refund due to Borrower for its fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996 (the "Specified Tax Refund"), which Specified Tax
Refund has been received by Bank and applied to the Permitted
Out-of-Formula Advance."
5. Collateral Management Fee. Section 4.8 of the Loan Agreement shall be
and is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

has not been satisfied in full, Borrower shall unconditionally pay
to Bank a non-refundable annual collateral management fee of Sixty
Thousand Dollars ($60,000.00), payable in equal monthly payments, in
advance, commencing on August 1, 1997. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if at any time after December 31, 1996 Borrower has been
in complete and full compliance with all terms and conditions of the
Loan Documents for two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters, Bank will
reduce the annual collateral management fee to Thirty-Six Thousand
Dollars ($36,000.00), which shall be payable in equal quarterly
