WHEREAS, Borrower has requested and, subject to the terms and conditions of
this Amendment, Lender has agreed to renew and extend the maturity of the
Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes and the other Loan Documents to January 31,

NOW, THEREFORE, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
Notes or any of the other Loan Documents, Borrower and Lender agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. All terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement and the First
Amendment.
2. Reaffirmation of Indebtedness. Borrower and Lender hereby acknowledge

Lender does not waive or release any term or condition of the Notes or the other
Loan Documents or any of its rights or remedies under such Loan Documents, or
applicable law, except as set forth herein.
3. Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the

Indebtedness continues to accrue at the rate of eleven percent (11%) per annum,
effective as of September 30, 2000, until all of the Indebtedness

full. The Lender and the Borrower hereby reaffirm this amendment.
4. Extension of Maturity Date. Each of the Notes and the other Loan
Documents is hereby amended to extend the maturity date of the Indebtedness
(regardless of the stated date of the maturity of the Indebtedness for such Note

(including, without limitation, principal and interest) shall become due and
payable in full.
5. Reinstatement of Notes and Loan Documents. Lender, without prejudice to
or waiver of any right or remedy available to it by reason of the occurrence
subsequent to the date hereof of any event or condition constituting a Default
or Event of Default or any other default or event of default that has occurred
and is continuing under any of the Notes or the other Loan Documents hereby
agrees to take no action with respect to any such Default or Event of Default or
any other default or event of default that has occurred and is continuing under
any of the Notes or the other Loan Documents which heretofore has occurred,
until January 31, 2003. Borrower and Lender hereby agree that the Notes and the
Loan Documents are fully reinstated in accordance with their terms and
conditions, as amended, by this Amendment, as if no Default or Event of Default
or any other default or event of default that has occurred and is continuing
under any of the Notes or the other Loan Documents had occurred in the payment
of the Indebtedness prior to the date of this Agreement, but no later than
January 31, 2003. It is expressly understood that Lender will and does hereafter
require full performance of any and all terms, conditions and requirements of
all Loan Documents, as amended by this Amendment. It is further understood and
agreed that the validity and perfection of the liens and security interests
granted under the Loan Documents are not diminished or impaired in any way by
this Amendment. Borrower agrees to perform and/or observe the terms and
provisions of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, as amended by this
Amendment.
6. No Commitment to Make Further Advances. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document (including, without
limitation, the Credit Agreement) any and all commitments of Lender to advance
funds or issue letters of credit to, or on behalf of, Borrower are terminated
and Lender shall have no further obligation to advance funds or issue letters of
credit to, or on behalf of, Borrower.
7. Expenses. All expenses incurred by Borrower or Lender in connection with
this transaction, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees, shall be borne
by Borrower and to the extent Lender's expenses are not paid by Borrower within
10 days of Lender submitting an invoice therefor to Borrower, the amount of such
expenses shall be added to the outstanding principal amount of the Indebtedness
and shall accrue interest in accordance with Paragraph 3 hereof.

expressly amended, each and every term, condition, warranty and provision of the
Notes and the other Loan Documents as amended through even date herewith shall

amended through even date herewith are hereby ratified, confirmed and approved
by the parties hereto. Nothing herein shall be construed to alter or affect the
priority of the liens, security interests or title created by the Loan
Documents. Any provision herein that might otherwise be construed to conflict
with the desire of Lender that the liens, security interests and title of the
Loan Documents be maintained and preserved prior to any and all encumbrances
affecting the Collateral arising subsequent to the execution of the Loan
Documents shall, at Lender's option, be void and of no force and effect; it
being the expressly declared intention of the parties hereto that no novation of
the Loan Documents be created hereby. Any promissory note or other indebtedness
described in the Loan Documents as the obligation secured thereby shall
hereafter mean the Notes as modified by this Agreement and the

Indebtedness. The Loan Documents as modified and amended hereby are hereby

regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental
authority to which Borrower is subject, or of the articles of incorporation,
bylaws or any other organizational document of Borrower, or of any indenture,
