to a First Amendment of Loan Agreement dated effective May 14, 1998 and by a
Second Amendment of Loan Agreement dated effective January 25, 1999. Such Loan
Agreement, as amended, is herein called the "Original Agreement".
The Borrower and the Lender now desire to further amend the Original
Agreement in certain respects as hereinafter provided to modify certain
provisions of the Original Agreement, all as more particularly set forth herein.
AGREEMENTS:
For and in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein
contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
(1) The following new definition is hereby added to Paragraph 1 of the
Original Agreement:
"Monthly Financial Statements shall mean the monthly financial
statements of a Person, including a balance sheet as of the end of such
month and an income statement for the fiscal year to date, subject to
normal year-end adjustments, prepared in accordance with GAAP and
certified as true and correct to the best knowledge of an appropriate
officer or other party acceptable to Lender on behalf of such Person. The
Monthly Financial Statements for Borrower shall be prepared on a
consolidated basis. In connection with each set of Monthly Financial
Statements, if Borrower ever acquires any Subsidiary or Subsidiaries in
accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement, monthly
consolidating statements shall also be prepared by Borrower for delivery
to Lender, and such consolidating statements will be prepared in
accordance with GAAP only to the extent normal and customary."
(2) The last sentence of the definition of "Applicable Margin" contained
in Paragraph 1 of the Original Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety to hereafter be and read as follows:
"The Applicable Margin will be adjusted (if necessary) quarterly based on
the Debt to Tangible Net Worth Ratio as of the end of each quarter, as
reflected in the Monthly Financial Statements and Compliance Certificates
required to be provided Lender under Paragraphs 10(b)(2) and (3), with any
change in the Applicable Margin becoming effective ten (10) calendar days
after receipt by Lender of such Monthly Financial Statements and
Compliance Certificates."
(3) Paragraph 2(c) of the Original Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety to hereafter be and read as follows:
"(c) Borrower shall cause the outstanding principal balance of the
Revolving Note to be prepaid in full and reduced to a zero balance for
thirty (30) consecutive days at any time from April 9, 1999 until and
including the Maturity Date."
(4) Paragraph 10(b)(2) of the Original Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety to hereafter be and read as follows:
"(2) as soon as available and in any event within 30 days after the
end of each month (including the last month of each fiscal year), Monthly
Financial Statements of Borrower;"
(5) Paragraph 10(c)(2) of the Original Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety to hereafter be and read as follows:
"(2) a Debt to Tangible Net Worth Ratio not greater than (i) 2.00 to
1.00 as of the end of the calendar quarter ending March 31, 1999, and (ii)
1.75 to 1.00 as of the end of each calendar quarter after March 31, 1999."
(6) Paragraph 10(c)(3) of the Original Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety to hereafter be and read as follows:
"(3) a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than (i) 1.00 to 1.00
for the calendar quarter ending June 30, 1999, based on the results of
operations for the 1999 calendar year to date, (ii) 1.25 to 1.00, tested
for compliance on September 30, 1999, based on the results of operations
for the 1999 calendar year to date, and (iii) thereafter 2.00 to 1.00,
tested for compliance on December 31, 1999 and as of the end of each
calendar quarter after December 31, 1999, on a Rolling Four Quarters
basis."
(7) Exhibits B and C to the Original Agreement are hereby amended and
restated in its entirety to hereafter be in the form of Exhibit A and Exhibit B,
respectively, attached hereto and incorporated herein for all purposes.
Notwithstanding that the amended Exhibit B to the Original Agreement (in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit A) contains a general listing of the components
of the Borrowing Base, the listing is not intended to be inclusive of all
components of the Borrowing Base nor is it intended to limit the Lender's right

(8) Borrower represents and warrants that the representations and
warranties contained in Paragraph 9 of the Original Agreement and in the other
Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the
date thereof as though made on and as of such date. The Borrower hereby
certifies that no event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes an
Event of Default under the Original Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
or which upon the giving of notice of the lapse of time or both would constitute
such an Event of Default.
(9) The Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms that the Security
Agreement and the Deed of Trust executed by the Borrower are in full force and
effect, and since the Security Agreement and the Deed of Trust secure any and
all indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender now or hereafter outstanding, it
secures all amounts outstanding under the Original Agreement, as amended hereby,
including without limitation, all amounts outstanding under the Revolving Loans
and under the Advance/Term Loans.

other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect. The Original
Agreement, as hereby amended, and all rights and powers created thereby or
thereunder and under the other Loan Documents are in all respects ratified and
confirmed and remain in full force and effect.

the other Loan Documents shall have the meanings therein ascribed to them. The
term "Loan Agreement" or "Credit Agreement" as used in the Original Agreement,
the other Loan Documents or any other instrument, document or writing furnished
to the Lender by the Borrower, when referring to the Original Agreement, shall
mean the Original Agreement as hereby amended.

and their respective successors and assigns (provided, however, that the
Borrower shall not assign his rights hereunder without the prior written consent
of the Lender); (b) may be modified or amended only by a writing signed by each
party; (C) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OR THE

and the same agreement; and (e) embodies the entire agreement and understanding
between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior agreements, consents and understandings relating to such subject matter
