           (approximately $700,000 of which has been spent as of the date of the
           Fifth Amendment)."

          C.   Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting
therefrom the definition of "Monthly Compliance Certificate" in its entirety and

          other changes thereto as may be agreed upon from time to time by the
          Administrative Agent and the Parent and the Company), and including
          therein, among other things, calculations supporting compliance with
          Article VII. For purposes of determining the financial calculations
          required by the Monthly Compliance Certificate, financial ratio terms
          which are defined in the Credit Agreement with reference to the end of
          the applicable fiscal quarter (e.g., Consolidated Fixed Charge
                                         - -
          Coverage Ratio, Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, etc.) shall be
          redefined for such purposes only to refer to the end of the applicable
          calendar month."

at the end thereof the following:


                                                                               3


          "Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maximum Available Revolving Loan

          through September 30, 1998 (the final day of the last Revolving Loan
          Cap Period) shall equal the aggregate amount of all Revolving Loan
          Commitments, provided, that for any Revolving Loan advances in excess
          of $38,672,500, Beacon shall deliver for the benefit of the
          Administrative Agent a letter of credit in form and substance
          reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and in an amount of
          not less than the amount advanced to the Company, but in no event
          shall that amount exceed $15,000,000; provided, however, if the

          credit and return such letter of credit to the issuing bank."

          E.    Section 7.1(e) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by
