4, 2000, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated
May 12, 2000 (the "Credit Agreement").
2. Borrower desires that Lender extend it additional credit, and Lender

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Borrower and the Lender agree as follows:
1. The definition of "Borrowing Base" as set forth in Section 1.1 of
the Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated as follows:
"Borrowing Base" shall mean the lesser of: (i) $10,000,000, or (ii)
the sum of (a) Borrower's cash and cash equivalents, plus (b) an amount
equal to fifty percent (50%) of Eligible Accounts Receivable, as such
exists on any date of calculation.
2. The definition of "LC Commitment" as set forth in Section 1.1 of the
Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated as follows:
"LC Commitment" shall mean an amount not to exceed $8,000,000.
3. The definition of "Maturity Date" as set forth in Section 1.1 of the
Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated as follows:
"Maturity Date" shall mean the earlier of (a) January 4, 2003 and
(b) that date on which all amounts outstanding under this Agreement
have been declared or have automatically become due and payable

4. Section 2.1.A(a) of the Credit Agreement shall be amended and
restated in its entirety as follows:
(a) From the date hereof through December 31, 2002 and provided that
no Default or Event of Default has occurred, the Lender agrees to
issue, at the request of the Borrower, Letters of Credit for the
account of the Borrower on the terms and conditions hereinafter set

(or in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after
such renewal or extension) and (B) the date that is five (5) Business

remains outstanding. In the event that for any reason, the sum of the
LC Exposure, plus outstanding Advances exceeds the Borrowing Base, the
Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender immediately on demand such amount

to an amount that is equal to or less than the Borrowing Base. Such
prepayment, if required, shall be subject to the provisions of Section
2.12. herein.

7. The Borrower reaffirms its obligations under the Credit Agreement
and agrees that its obligations thereunder are its true and lawful obligations,
enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to no defense, counterclaim,
or objection.
