               instruments executed at any time in connection with the Loan
               Agreement  continue  to  secure,  among  other  things,  the

          demand  all  reasonable  costs  and  expenses  of  the  Banks  in

          responsibilities  under  the  Loan Agreement, as hereby amended).
          In addition, the Company shall  pay  any  and all stamp and other
          taxes and fees payable or determined to be  payable in connection
          with  the  execution and delivery, filing, or recording  of  this
          Amendment and the other instruments and documents to be delivered
          hereunder, and agrees to save each Bank harmless from and against
          any and all  liabilities  with  respect  to or resulting from any
          delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes or fees.

                    15.  Headings.  Section headings  in this Amendment are
          included herein for convenience of reference  only  and shall not
          constitute a part of this Amendment for any other purpose  or  be
          given any substantive effect.

                    16.  Counterparts;  Effectiveness.   This Amendment may
          be  executed  in  any  number  of  counterparts and by  different
          parties hereto in separate counterparts,  each  of  which when so
          executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original  and all
          of  which  taken  together  shall constitute but one and the same
          instrument;  signature  pages  may   be  detached  from  multiple
          separate counterparts and attached to  a  single  counterpart  so

          document.   Upon  satisfaction of the  conditions  set  forth  in
          Section 11 hereof, this Amendment shall be deemed effective as of
          the date hereof.

                    17.  Governing  Law; Binding Agreement.  THIS AMENDMENT
          SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED  AND  ENFORCED  IN  ACCORDANCE
