BACKGROUND

A. Pursuant to the terms of a certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security
Agreement dated as of May 31, 2002, between Borrower and Lenders, as amended by
a certain Amendment and Modification to Amended and Restated Loan and Security
Agreement dated as of December 30, 2002, and as further amended by a certain
Second Amendment and Modification to Amended and Restated Loan and Security
Agreement dated as of February 26, 2003 (collectively, the " Loan Agreement"),
Lender has made available to Borrower a revolving line of credit in the
aggregate amount of $25,000,000.00 (the "Revolving Credit"), and a term loan in
the amount of $7,500,000.00 ("Term Loan").

B. The Revolving Credit is evidenced by certain Second Amended and Restated
Revolving Credit Notes dated February 26, 2003, from Borrower to Lenders in the
aggregate amount of $25,000,000.00 ("Revolving Credit Notes").

C. The Term Loan was evidenced by certain Term Notes dated May 31, 2002 from the
Borrower to the Lenders in the aggregate amount of $7,500,000.00 ("Term Notes")
and all amounts outstanding under the Term Loan have been repaid in full by
Borrower to Lenders prior to the date hereof.

D. Pursuant to the terms and provisions of a certain Assignment and Assumption
dated as of the date hereof between Lenders (the "Assignment and Assumption"),
Fleet has agreed to sell and assign all of its Revolving Credit Facility Pro
Rata Share to SunTrust and Citizens and the parties are entering into this
Amendment to modify certain of the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement to
reflect such sale and assignment.

E. All capitalized terms used herein without further definition shall
have the respective meaning set forth in the Loan Agreement and all other Loan
Documents.

NOW, THEREFORE, with the foregoing Background incorporated by reference
and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:
<page>
1. Loan Agreement. The following amendments and modifications shall be made to
the Loan Agreement and shall be effective upon execution hereof:

a. The definition of "Lenders" set forth in the Loan Agreement
is hereby amended to delete all references to Fleet.

b. Schedule A currently attached to the Loan Agreement shall
be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the form of Schedule A attached to
this Amendment.

2. Representations and Warranties. Borrower warrants and represents to Lenders
that:

a. Prior Representations. By execution of this Amendment, Borrower reconfirms
that all warranties and representations made to Lenders under the Loan Agreement
and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects as of
the date hereof, all of which shall be deemed continuing until all of the
Obligations to Lenders are paid and satisfied in full. Lenders acknowledge that
Borrower has notified Lenders of various lawsuits and claims referred in Note 11
to Borrower's financial statements included in Borrower's Form 10-Q for the
period ending June 30, 2003. In the opinion of management and based upon the
advice of counsel, the Borrower has meritorious defenses to the lawsuits and
claims; however the Borrower expresses no opinion herein with respect to the
Meyers Suit. However, if material adverse determinations on either the lawsuits
or claims were to be rendered, such determinations will have a material adverse
impact on the results of operations in the period of the respective charges as
well as a material adverse impact on the financial position and liquidity of the
Borrower.

b. Authorization. The execution and delivery by Borrower of this Amendment and
the performance by Borrower of the transactions herein contemplated (i) are and
will be within its powers and (ii) are not and will not be in contravention of
any order of court or other agency of government, of law or of any indenture,
agreement or undertaking to which Borrower is a party or by which the property
of Borrower is bound, or be in conflict with, result in a breach of or
constitute (with due notice and/or lapse of time) a default under any such
indenture, agreement or undertaking, or result in the imposition of any lien,
charge or encumbrance of any nature on any of the properties of Borrower.

c. Valid, Binding and Enforceable. This Amendment and any other instrument,
document or agreement executed and delivered in connection herewith, will be
valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their respective terms subject
to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors'
rights generally and general equitable principles.

d. Costs. Upon execution hereof, Borrower shall pay all costs (including
attorneys' fees of Lenders) attendant to this Amendment.

3. Ratification of Loan Documents. This Amendment is hereby incorporated into
and made a part of the Loan Agreement and all other Loan Documents respectively,
the terms and provisions of which, except to the extent modified by this
Amendment are each ratified and confirmed and continue unchanged in full force
and effect. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, to its knowledge, it has no
defenses, set-offs, counterclaims or deductions of any nature with respect to
its obligations to Lender. Any reference to the Loan Agreement and all other
Loan Documents respectively in this or any other instrument, document or
agreement related thereto or executed in connection therewith shall mean the
Loan Agreement and all other Loan Documents respectively as amended by this
Amendment. The Loan Agreement and this Amendment shall be construed as
integrated and complementary of each other, and augmenting and not restricting
Lender's powers, rights, remedies and security. If, after applying the
foregoing, an inconsistency still exists, the provisions of this Amendment shall
control.

4. Effectiveness Conditions. This Amendment shall become effective upon the full
execution of this Amendment and the following:
