CORPORATION; AND U.S. CREDIT-SERVICE CORPORATION, (COLLECTIVELY,

Dear Ms. Durrett:
Based on the revised projections provided by you for fye 7-31-00, it appears
that a violation of Section 6.7 (Minimum Effective Tangible Net Worth) of the
Loan Agreement could occur. Based on the information provided, and our analysis
of same to date, Lender agrees to modify the provision of 6.7 as follows:
7/31/00 - 9/30/00 $ 9,500,000
10/31/00 - 12/31/00 $ 9,500,000
01/31/01 - 03/31/01 $ 9,700,000
04/30/01 - 06/30/01 $10,300,000
The preceding modification shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent
defaults or other violations of the provisions of the Agreement and shall not
imply that the Lender will in the future grant any other waivers or
modifications.
Please call me if you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance.
My direct phone number is (214)589-1315.
Sincerely,
