listed on the signature pages thereof (collectively, "LENDERS") and Heller 
Financial, Inc., (in its individual capacity, "Heller"), for itself as a Lender 
and as Agent ("AGENT").

        WHEREAS, Lender and Borrower are parties to a certain Amended and 
Restated Loan and Security  Agreement, dated September 1, 1997 and all 
amendments thereto (the "AGREEMENT"); and

        WHEREAS, the parties desire to further amend the Agreement as 
hereinafter set forth:

        NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and agreements 
set forth in the Agreement and this Amendment, and other good and valuable 
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

        1.  DEFINITIONS.  Capitalized terms used in this Amendment, unless 
            -----------
otherwise defined herein, shall have the meaning ascribed on such term in the 
Agreement.

        2.  AMENDMENTS.  Subject to the conditions set forth below, the 
            ----------
            Agreement is amended as follows:

             and inserting the following in lieu thereof:

        "(A)  Revolving Loan.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this 
              --------------
        Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the
        Borrower and the other Loan Parties set forth herein and in the other
        Loan Documents, each Lender, severally agrees to lend to Borrower from

        amount of all Revolving Loan Commitments shall not exceed the following
        amounts during the following periods: (i) from and after the Closing

this subsection 2.1(A) may be repaid and reborrowed at any time prior to the 
earlier of (i) the termination of the Revolving Loan commitment pursuant to 
subsection 8.3 or (ii) the Termination Date. Except as otherwise provided herein
no Lender shall have any obligation to make an advance under this subsection 
2.1(A) to the extent such advance would cause the Revolving Loan (after giving 
effect to any immediate application of the proceeds thereof) to exceed the 
Maximum Revolving Loan Amount.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the period from March 1, 1998 
through and including May 31, 1998 only, the aggregate amount of all Revolving

Twenty-Two Million Dollars ($22,000,000), (vi) from May 18, 1998 through and 
including May 24, 1998, Twenty-One Million Dollars ($21,000,000); and (vii) from

($20,000,000), as reduced by subsection 2.4(B). Except as otherwise provided 
                             -----------------

subsection 2.1(A) to the extent such advance would cause the Revolving Loan 
- -----------------

exceed the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, Revolving Loan Amount shall permanently 
decrease to Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) until Termination Date if the 
Borrower fails to raise proceeds of new equity by July 31, 1998, on terms 
satisfactory to Lender, in a minimum amount of $30,000,000, that is committed 
and is available to Borrower on demand.
