Agreement pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed to make revolving loans to
the Borrower in the aggregate principal amount of up to $65,000,000 as evidenced
by the Notes (as defined in the Agreement) and to issue Letters of Credit for

         WHEREAS, as a condition to the making of the loans pursuant to the

Borrower guarantee payment of all Obligations of the Borrower arising under the
Agreement; and

         WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Agreement be further

as provided herein;

         NOW, THEREFORE, the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders do hereby agree
as follows:

         1. DEFINITIONS. The term "Agreement" as used herein and in the Loan
Documents (as defined in the Agreement) shall mean the Agreement as hereinafter
amended and modified. Unless the context otherwise requires, all terms used
herein without definition shall have the definition provided therefor in the
Agreement.

         2. AMENDMENT. Subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Agreement
is hereby amended, effective as of the date hereof, as follows:

                  (a) The definition of "Consolidated Net Worth" is hereby
         amended by deleting the final clause thereof, reading "PLUS or MINUS,
         as the case may be (iv) the cumulative effect of foreign exchange
         valuations" and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

                  "PLUS (iv) up to $7,000,000 for the cumulative effect of the
                  change in accounting principles regarding start-up costs of
                  WCC."

                  (b) SECTION 7.06 is hereby amended in its entirety so that as
         amended it shall read as follows:

                           "7.06 CONSOLIDATED NET WORTH. The Borrower will at
                  all times keep and maintain Consolidated Net Worth at an
                  amount not less than (i) 90% of Borrower and Subsidiaries
                  Consolidated Net Worth at September 30, 1997 and (ii) as at
                  the last day of each succeeding fiscal quarter of the Borrower
                  and until (but excluding) the last day of the next following
                  fiscal quarter of the Borrower, the sum of (A) the amount of





   2

                  Consolidated Net Worth required to be maintained pursuant to
                  this SECTION 7.06 as at the end of the immediately preceding
                  fiscal quarter, plus, (B) 50% of Consolidated Net Income (with
                  no reduction for net losses for any period) for the fiscal
                  quarter of the Borrower ending on such day, provided that for
                  the quarter ended December 31, 1998 there shall be added to
                  Consolidated Net Income up to $7,000,000 for the cumulative
                  effect of the change in accounting principles regarding
                  start-up costs of WCC, plus (C) 75% of the net proceeds to the
                  Borrower from the sale of shares of the Borrower's capital
                  stock received during the fiscal quarter of the Borrower
                  ending on such date. The calculation of this covenant shall be
                  based upon the consolidated financial statements of the
                  Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including WCC."

         3. SUBSIDIARY CONSENTS. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower that has
delivered a Guaranty to the Agent has joined in the execution of this Amendment
Agreement for the purpose of (i) agreeing to the amendment to the Agreement and
(ii) confirming its guarantee of payment of all the Obligations.

         4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Borrower hereby represents and
warrants that:

                  (a) The representations and warranties made by Borrower in
         Article VI of the Agreement are true on and as of the date hereof;

                  (b) There has been no material adverse change in the
         condition, financial or otherwise, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
         since the date of the most recent financial reports of the Borrower
         received by each Lender under Section 7.17 thereof, other than changes
         in the ordinary course of business, none of which has been a material
         adverse change;

                  (c) The business and properties of the Borrower and its
         Subsidiaries are not and have not been adversely affected in any
         substantial way as the result of any fire, explosion, earthquake,
         accident, strike, lockout, combination of workers, flood, embargo,
         riot, activities of armed forces, war or acts of God or the public
         enemy, or cancellation or loss of any major contracts; and

                  (d) No event has occurred and no condition exists which, upon
         the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby, constitutes a
         Default or an Event of Default on the part of the Borrower under the
         Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document either immediately or
         with the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both.

         5. CONDITIONS. This Amendment Agreement shall become effective upon the
Borrower delivering to the Agent five (5) counterparts of this Amendment
Agreement duly executed by the Borrower, the Agent and the Required Lenders and
consented to by each of the Subsidiaries and receipt by the Agent of all fees
and expenses due in connection with this Amendment Agreement.

         6. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Amendment Agreement sets forth the entire
understanding and agreement of the parties hereto in relation to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes any prior negotiations and agreements among the
parties relative to such subject matter. No promise, conditions, representation
or warranty, express or implied, not herein set forth shall bind any party
hereto, and no one of them has relied on any such promise, condition,
representation or warranty. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that, except
as in this Amendment Agreement otherwise expressly stated, no representations,
warranties or commitments, express or implied, have been made by any other party
to the other. None of the terms or conditions of this Amendment Agreement may be
changed, modified, waived or canceled orally or otherwise, except by writing, in
the manner provided in the Agreement, specifying such change, modification,
waiver or cancellation of such terms or conditions, or of any proceeding or
succeeding breach thereof.
