collectively, the "Financing Agreements").
Borrower has requested that Lender waive the existing Event of Default
under the Working Capital covenant and reduce, effective as of May 4, 1997, the
amount of the Working Capital covenant Borrower is required to maintain, and
Lender is willing to agree to the foregoing, subject to the terms and conditions
contained herein.
In consideration of the foregoing, the respective agreements and covenants
contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the adequacy and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
1. Definitions. For purposes of this Amendment, unless otherwise
defined herein, all terms used herein shall have the respective meanings
assigned to such terms in the Loan Agreement.
2. Waiver.
(a) Lender hereby waives the Event of Default arising as a result of
the failure of Borrower to maintain Working Capital for the period from
March 30, 1997, through and including
May 3, 1997, in the amounts required under Section 9.13 of the Loan Agreement.
(b) Lender has not waived and is not by this Amendment waiving, and has
no intention of waiving any other Events of Default, that may have occurred
prior to the date hereof, or may be continuing on the date hereof or any Event
of Default that may occur after the date hereof (whether the same or similar to
the Event of Default referred to in Section 2(a) hereof or otherwise) and Lender
reserves the right, in its discretion, to exercise any or all of its rights and
remedies arising under the Financing Agreements, applicable law or otherwise as
a result of any other Event of Default that may have occurred prior to the date
hereof, or is continuing on the date hereof or any Event of Default that may
occur after the date hereof (whether the same or similar to the Event of
Default described in Section 2(a) hereof or otherwise). The waiver contained
in Section 2(a) hereof shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default

the Loan Agreement at any time after May 3, 1997.
3. Working Capital. Effective as of May 4, 1997, Section 9.13 of the Loan

expenses payable by Borrower to Lender under the Financing Agreements,

amount of $5,000, which amount is fully earned and payable as of the date
hereof and may be charged directly to Borrower's loan account maintained by
Lender.

survive the execution and delivery hereof, and the truth and accuracy of, or
compliance with each, together with the representations, warranties and
covenants in the other Financing Agreements, being a continuing condition of
the making of Loans by Lender to Borrower:
(a) The failure of Borrower to comply with the covenants, conditions
and agreements contained herein or in any other agreement, document or
instrument at any time executed and/or delivered by Borrower with, to or in
favor of Lender shall constitute an Event of Default under the Financing
Agreements.

and Guarantor and is in full force and effect as of the date hereof and the
