Section 2.1(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended to provide as follows:
Facility A. During the Term hereof, Banks agree, on the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement, to lend to Borrower from time to time their Pro
Rata Shares of Loans requested by Borrower, and Agent further agrees, subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the applicable
Reimbursement Agreement, to issue its Letters of Credit for the account of
Borrower upon Borrower's application therefor, and each Bank agrees to accept
a risk participation in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the from time
to time maximum outstanding amount of each such Letter of Credit issued under
this Section 2.1(a) and in Borrower's reimbursement obligation therefor and
any guaranties or other collateral security therefor. The aggregate principal

minus the face amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding under this
Section 2.1(a), or (ii) the Borrowing Base; provided, however, that no Bank
shall be required to advance any Loan and Agent shall not issue any Letter of
Credit requested by Borrower hereunder which, when added to the principal
amount of such Bank's then outstanding Loans and its risk participation in the
then outstanding Letters of Credit under this Section 2.1(a), would exceed the
amount of such Bank's Facility A Commitment. Borrower may borrow under this
Section, prepay under Section 2.8 and reborrow at any time during the Term
hereof under this Section subject to the terms of this Agreement. The failure
of any Bank to advance any requested Loan under this Agreement shall not
release any other Bank from its obligation to make any such Loan as provided
herein.
Facility B under the Agreement is being combined into Facility A as part of
this Fifth Amendment. The definition of "Facility B Commitment" is hereby
deleted in its entirety and is left blank intentionally. Section 2.1(b) of
the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and is left blank
intentionally. All other references in the Agreement to Section 2.1(b), to
"Facility B," to the "Facility B Commitment" of the Banks or of any Bank and
all other references of similar import are hereby deleted in their entirety
and are left blank intentionally. All Letters of Credit or other obligations
of Borrower presently outstanding under Section 2.1(b) and Facility B are
henceforth deemed to have been obtained pursuant to Section 2.1(a) of the
Agreement under Facility A.
Section 2.1(c) of the Agreement is hereby amended to provide as follows:
For purposes of computing the amount of availability of Loans under the Banks'
Facility A Commitment, the Borrowing Base shall mean an amount equal to Fifty
Percent (50%) of the value of Eligible Inventory of Borrower (the "Borrowing
Base").
Section 2.1(d) of the Agreement is hereby amended to provide as follows:
17
(d) Borrower shall deliver to Agent on the date of execution hereof (with
respect to the fiscal month ended January 1, 1994) and on the thirtieth (30th)
day following the end of each fiscal month thereafter commencing with the

of Exhibit E attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (a
"Borrowing Base Certificate") setting forth:
The Borrowing Base and its components as of the end of the immediately
preceding month;
The aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans under Facility A; and
The difference, if any, between the Borrowing Base and the aggregate principal
amount of all outstanding Loans under Facility A.
The Borrowing Base shown in such Borrowing Base Certificate shall be and
remain the Borrowing Base hereunder until the next Borrowing Base Certificate
is delivered to Banks, at which time the Borrowing Base shall be the amount
shown in such subsequent Borrowing Base Certificate. Each Borrowing Base
Certificate shall be certified (subject to normal year-end adjustments) as to
truth and accuracy by the President, principal financial officer or principal
accounting officer of Borrower.
Section 2.1(e) of the Agreement is hereby amended to provide as follows:
(e) If at any time the Borrowing Base should be less than the aggregate
principal amount of all Loans outstanding under Section 2.1(a), whether as a
result of a reduction in the Borrowing Base or otherwise, Borrower shall be
automatically required (without demand or notice of any kind by Banks, all of
which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower) to immediately repay the Loans
in an amount sufficient to reduce such aggregate principal amount of Loans
outstanding to the amount of the then available Borrowing Base.
The definition of "Eurocurrency Margin" in Section 2.5(b) of the Agreement is
hereby deleted in its entirety, and in its place shall be substituted the
following:
"Eurocurrency Margin" applicable to any Interest Period means Two Percent
(2.00%) for any Interest Period commencing prior to the date upon which
Borrower delivers to Agent its fiscal quarter-end financial statements as
required under Section 5.1(a)(iii) for the fiscal quarter ending August 3,
1996, and for any Interest Period commencing after delivery of Borrower's
August 3, 1996 quarter-end financial statements, and each subsequent quarter-
end and year-end financial statements, shall be determined as follows: (i)
