WHEREAS, Maker delivered to Holder a promissory note in the original

The Promissory Note") which was dated December, 1992; and
WHEREAS, contained within such Promissory Note are certain covenants
restricting the ability of Maker and its subsidiary, B & M Printing Company ("B
& M") from incurring any additional indebtedness without the prior consent of
Holder; and
WHEREAS, Maker is currently in the process of acquiring additional
subsidiaries and refinancing its existing indebtedness and as part of such
process Maker desires to remove any restrictions on its ability to incur
additional indebtedness in the future.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties intending to be legally bound do hereby agree
as follows:
1. Maker and Holder do hereby agree to modify the Promissory Note so as
to remove the covenants set forth under paragraphs (b), (d) and (e) on page 3 of
the Promissory Note.
2. In consideration for Holder removing the above described covenants
from the Promissory Note, Maker does hereby grant to Holder warrants to purchase
stock of Maker based on the following terms and conditions:

Maker successfully complete an initial public offering of its capital
stock.

warrants will consist of warrants to purchase a number of shares equal to

date of this Agreement divided by the initial public offering price of the
stock. These warrants may be exercised at any time during the period
commencing with the initial public offering of the stock and ending on the
third anniversary date of the initial public offering. The second class of
warrants shall be warrants to purchase a number of shares equal to 2/3 of
the outstanding principal balance of the Promissory Note
as of the date of this Agreement divided by the initial offering price of
the stock. This class of warrants may only be exercised at the time of the
initial public offering.
(d) The stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of the warrants
shall be subject to whatever resale restrictions are imposed by the
underwriter in the initial public offering.
