Debtor to Banks, Debtor executed and delivered to Agent for the benefit of Banks
a certain Security Agreement dated December 7, 1994 as amended by the First
Amendment to Security Agreement dated December 22, 1995 (collectively, "Security

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Debtor, NCB, Old Kent and Agent agree as follows:

         1. Secured Obligations. The first paragraph of the second page of the
Security Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

                  The security interest hereby granted is to secure the prompt
         and full payment and complete performance of all Obligations of Debtor
         under the Credit Loan Agreement and the Line of Credit Agreement
         (hereinafter collectively called the "Existing Loans"), under any Loan
         Documents (as defined in the Credit Loan Agreement and the Line of
         Credit Agreement, respectively) or otherwise existing or arising. The
         word "Obligations" is used in its most comprehensive sense and
         includes, without limitation, all indebtedness, debts and liabilities
         (including principal, interest, late charges, collection costs,
         attorneys' fees to the extent permitted by law and the like) of Debtor
         to NCB, including, without limitation, the Existing Loans, whether now
         existing or hereafter arising, either created by Debtor alone or
         together with another or others, primary or secondary, secured or
         unsecured, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, direct
         or indirect, whether evidenced by note, draft, application for letter
         of credit or otherwise, and any and all renewals of or substitutes
         therefor. The word "Obligations" shall include, BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO,
         all indebtedness owed by Debtor to Banks by reason of credit extended
         or to be extended to Debtor in the principal amount of $8,487,500.00,
         pursuant to one or more instruments of indebtedness and related Loan
         Documents.

         2. Parties. All reference in the Security Agreement to "Bank," "Banks"
or Agent" shall mean NCB. Old Kent and Agent hereby terminate their respective
security interests in the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement).

         3. Ratification. The Security Agreement is in all respects ratified and
confirmed by the parties hereto, and the Security Agreement and this Amendment
shall be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument. Except as
modified hereby, the Security Agreement remains unchanged and in full force and
effect.

         4. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more
counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one
party, but all such counterparts taken together constitute one and the same
instrument.
