WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Agent and the Lenders amend

WHEREAS, upon the terms and conditions contained herein, the Agent and the
Lenders are willing to amend the Credit Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and conditions herein set
forth, it is hereby agreed as follows:
1 . CREDIT AGREEMENT AMENDMENT. Subject to the conditions hereof, the
---------------------------
Credit Agreement is hereby amended, effective as of the date the conditions set
forth in Section 3 of this Amendment Agreement are satisfied, as follows:
(a) The following definitions are amended in their entirety so that as
amended they read as follows:
"'Total Revolving Credit Commitment' means (a) through January 1, 1999 a
principal amount equal to $40,000,000 and (b) at all times thereafter a
principal amount equal to $25,000,000, in each case as reduced from time to time
in accordance with Section 2.07."
2. WAIVER. (a) At the request of the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders
--------
hereby waive the requirement of Section 7.19 with respect to KPD Systems, Inc.
until August 14, 1998.
(b) The Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the
promissory note in the principal amount of $1,015,000 in favor of Xxxxxxxx
Xxxxxx (the "Xxxxxx Note") is a seller note. The Agent and the Lenders hereby
waive until August 31, 1998 the requirement that the Xxxxxx Note be expressly

the Agent in its sole discretion; provide that if the Xxxxxx Note is not repaid
or subordinated on terms and conditions acceptable to the Agent in its sole
discretion by August 31, 1998, the Borrower shall be in Default.
The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the waivers contained herein are
granted by the Agent and the Lenders only for the limited purpose set forth
herein and each term and provision of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents continue in full force and effect except as specifically waived or
amended hereby. The waivers are granted only for the specific instances
specified herein and in no manner create a course of dealing or otherwise impair
the future ability of the Agent or the Lenders to declare a Default or Event of
Default under or otherwise enforce the terms of the Credit Agreement or any
other Loan Document with respect to any action or inaction of the Borrower or
any Guarantor not specifically waived or amended hereby.

date hereof:

thereof are true on and as of the date hereof (except for those representations

to Section 7.01;
------------
(b) There has been no material adverse change in the condition, financial
or otherwise, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries since the Closing Date, other
than changes in the ordinary course of business, and no event has occurred which
could reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; and
(c) No condition exists which would constitute a Default or an Event of
Default on the part of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement or the Notes,
either immediately or WITH THE LAPSE OF TIME OR the giving of notice, or both.

warranties or commitments, express or implied, have been made by any party to
the other. None of the terms or conditions of this Amendment Agreement may be
