RECITALS
A. Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent heretofore entered into a
Credit Agreement (the "Original Credit Agreement") dated as of October 9, 1997,
pursuant to which Chase Manhattan Bank and Mellon Bank, N.A as Lenders
("Original Lenders") made certain term loans to Xxxxx, Inc., designated therein
as "Tranche A Term Loans" and "Tranche B Term Loans" aggregating $10,375,000.
Holdings is the guarantor of Borrower's obligations under the Tranche A and
Tranche B Loans. As of the date hereof, the outstanding principal balance of the
Tranche A Loan is $931,570 and the outstanding principal balance of the Tranche
B Loan is $275,462.
B. As permitted under the Original Credit Agreement, the Original Lenders
provided lines of credit ("Line of Credit Loans") to Holdings and Borrower, as
co-borrowers, originally aggregating $1,000,000, and increasing to $1,700,000.
C. The Subordinated Obligations represented by the Seller Note (as defined in
the Original Seller Subordination Agreement) are currently subordinated to the
Tranche A and Tranche B Loans and to the Line of Credit Loans and pursuant to
the Original Seller Subordination Agreement, all of the said Loans are secured
pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement made by Holdings, the
Borrower in favor of the Administrative Agent dated as of October 9, 1997.
D. Certain terms of the Original Credit Agreement have previously been changed
by certain amendments and waivers, pursuant to which, among other matters, the
repayment terms applicable to the Tranche A and Tranche B Loans have been
changed.
E. JPMorgan Chase Bank holds indebtedness of Borrower in the principal amount of
$704,484.41 representing the net deficiency ("Deficiency Debt") arising from the
sale by an affiliate of JPMorgan Chase Bank of certain equipment previously
leased by said affiliate to Borrower.
F. The parties to the Original Credit Agreement have agreed to amend and restate
the Original Credit Agreement, the purpose of such Amendment and Restatement
being, among other matters:

Credit Loans into a single Tranche A Loan aggregating $2,631,570 and having a
maturity date of June 30, 2003, as to which Holdings shall be a direct
co-Borrower with Xxxxx, Inc.; and
2. to include the Deficiency Debt within the indebtedness of the
Borrower covered by the Original Credit Agreement (as so amended and restated)
and to convert the Deficiency Debt into a term loan having a maturity date of
June 30, 2003 and designated in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as the
"Tranche C Loan" having a security interest in all of the assets of Holdings and
the Borrower, which Tranche C Loan shall be subordinated to the Tranche A and
Tranche B Loans as to payment and as to such security interest, subject to the
terms of this Agreement;.
G. The Subordinated Lenders have agreed that the Seller Note and the
Subordinated Obligations shall continue to be subordinated and junior in right
of payment to the Tranche A and Tranche B Loans and in addition shall be
subordinated and junior in right of payment to the Tranche C Loan, and for such
purpose are entering into this Amendment and are contemporaneously herewith

(b) Section 3(c) of the Original Seller Subordination Agreement is
amended to read as follows:
"(c) If any payment or distribution, whether consisting of
money, property or securities, shall be collected or received by any
Subordinated Lender in respect of the Subordinated Obligations, except

distribution shall be held in trust by such Subordinated Lender as the
property of the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Senior
Lenders, segregated from other funds and property held by such
Subordinated Lenders."
4
4. Rights in Collateral
(a) Subsection 4(b)(2) of the Original Seller Subordination Agreement
is amended to read as follows:
