Agreement is amended to read as follows:
"(1) POST-ACQUISITION BALANCE SHEET AND COVENANT COMPLIANCE
CERTIFICATE WITHIN 60 DAYS AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF EACH PERMITTED

12. In addition to the Base Rate Option and the LIBOR Rate Option,
commencing October 1, 2000, Borrower shall have the option to select the Fixed
Rate as the applicable interest rate for the entire indebtedness outstanding
under the Acquisition Loan. In the event Borrower selects the Fixed Rate as the
applicable interest rate with respect to the Acquisition Loan, the Fixed Rate
shall be the applicable interest rate until the maturity date of the Acquisition
Loan.
In the event the Borrower selects the Fixed Rate as the applicable
interest rate with respect to the Acquisition Loan, the Bank does not have to
accept any prepayment of principal under the Acquisition Note except as
described below or as required under applicable law. The Borrower may prepay
principal of the Acquisition Note in increments of $50,000 at any time as long
as the Bank is provided written notice of the prepayment. The notice of
prepayment shall contain the following information: (a) the date of prepayment
(the "Prepayment Date") and (b) the amount of principal to be prepaid. On the
Prepayment Date, the Borrower will pay to the Bank, in addition to the other
amounts then due on the Acquisition Note under the Agreement, the Prepayment
Amount described
5
below. The Bank, in its sole discretion, may accept any prepayment of
principal even if not required to do so under the Agreement and may deduct
from the amount to be applied against principal the other amounts required as
part of the Prepayment Amount.
If the Bank exercises its right to accelerate the payment of the
Acquisition Note prior to maturity, the Borrower will pay to the Bank, in
addition to the other amounts then due under the Agreement, on the date
specified by the Bank as the Prepayment Date, the Prepayment Amount. The
Bank's determination of the Prepayment Amount will be conclusive in the
absence of obvious error or fraud.
The Prepayment Amount is the sum of: (I) the amount of principal
which the Borrower has elected to prepay or the amount of principal which the
Bank has required the Borrower to prepay because of acceleration, as the case
may be (the "Prepaid Principal Amount"), (ii) interest accruing on the
Prepaid Principal Amount up to, but not including, the Prepayment Date, (iii)
Five Hundred Dollars ($500) plus (iv) the present value, discounted at the
Reinvestment Rates (as defined below), of the positive amount by which (A)
the interest the Bank would have earned had the Prepaid Principal Amount been
paid according at the Acquisition Note's amortization schedule at the
Acquisition Note's interest rate exceeds (B) the interest the Bank would earn
by reinvesting the Prepaid Principal Amount at the Reinvestment Rates.
"Reinvestment Rates" mean the per annum rates of interest equal to
one half percent (1/2%) above the rates of interest reasonably determined by
the Bank to be in effect not more than seven days prior to the Prepayment
Date in the secondary market for United States Treasury Obligations in
amount(s) and with maturity(ies) which correspond (as closely as possible) to
the principal installment amount(s) and the payment date(s) against which the
Prepaid Principal Amount will be applied.
13. The Joinder Agreement is added to the Agreement as Exhibit A.
14. This Amendment shall be effective as of October 28, 1999.
15. Except as expressly set forth herein, all of the terms and
conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
