          (b)  Amendment  of  Quarterly  Excess  Cash Flow  Payment  Provisions.
     Effective  on and as of the date  hereof,  the  Loan  Agreement  is  hereby
     amended by amending Section  2.4(B)(iv)  thereof to read in its entirety as
     follows:

          "(iv)In addition to the foregoing,  commencing with the fiscal quarter
               of the  Borrowers  ending  June 30,  2000,  and for  each  fiscal
               quarter  thereafter  until (a) all Obligations  have been paid in
               full or (b) payments  made  pursuant to this  Section  2.4(B)(iv)
               (including  all amounts  actually  paid prior to the date of this
               Second  Amendment)  aggregate   $2,500,000.00,   whichever  first
               occurs,  a sum equal to the  greater  of (1) 25% of  Consolidated
               Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal quarter or (2) the percentage of
               True Excess Cash Flow specified below for such fiscal quarter (in
               either case, the "Quarterly  Excess Cash Flow Payment")  shall be
               due and payable as set forth  below.  For purposes of the formula
               set forth above, the relevant percentage of True Excess Cash Flow
               is (A) 80% until  all  payments  made  pursuant  to this  Section
               2.4(B)(iv)  aggregate  $1,000,000.00,  (B) 70% until all payments
               made pursuant to this Section 2.4(B)(iv) aggregate $1,750,000.00,
               and (C) 60% until all  payments  made  pursuant  to this  Section
               2.4(B)(iv)  aggregate  $2,500,000.00.  The Quarterly  Excess Cash
               Flow Payment for each fiscal  quarter of the  Borrowers  shall be
               due and payable, in arrears, in three equal monthly  installments
               on the  twentieth  (20th)  day  (without  grace)  of  each  month
               following the relevant fiscal quarter;"

                                       5


          (c)  Past-Due  Excess Cash Flow  Payments.  The  Borrowers  and Siegel
     acknowledge that the Borrowers have failed to comply with the provisions of
     Section  2.4(B)(iv)  of the Loan  Agreement  with  respect to payments  due
     thereunder  with respect to the fiscal  quarters ended  September 30, 1999,
     December  31,  1999 and March 31,  2000 (the  "Cash  Flow  Payments").  The
     parties  acknowledge  that the aggregate  amount of the Cash Flow Payments,
     without  interest,  is  $230,000.00.  SouthTrust  hereby  agrees  that  the
     Borrowers may cure the Default  resulting from the failure to make the Cash
     Flow  Payments in a timely  manner by paying the Cash Flow  Payments,  with
     interest on the amount  thereof from their  respective due dates until paid
     at the Pay Rate, in six (6) equal monthly  installments  commencing on July
     6,  2000;  provided,  that  SouthTrust  hereby  agrees to accept the sum of
     $200,000.00,  if paid on or prior to July 6, 2000, in full  satisfaction of
     the Cash Flow Payments.

     3. Amendments to the Borrowers' Covenants.

          (d) The execution, delivery and performance by Borrowers and Guarantor
     of this Amendment and the  consummation  of the  transactions  contemplated
     hereby (i) are within the  corporate  power of each of the  Borrowers,  and
     have been duly authorized by all necessary  corporate action on the part of
     each  of  the  Borrowers   (true,   correct  and  complete  copies  of  the
     documentation thereof, certified as such by the appropriate officers of the
     Borrowers,  being  attached  hereto as Exhibit  C), (ii) do not require any
     approval or consent,  or filing with, any governmental agency or authority,
     (iii) do not violate any  provisions  of any law, rule or regulation or any
     provision of any order, writ, judgment,  injunction,  decree, determination
     or award presently in effect in which any Borrower or Guarantor is named or
     any provision of the organizational  documents of any of the Borrowers, and
     (iv) do not and will not  result  in a breach  of or  constitute  a default
     under any agreement or instrument to which any Borrower or any Guarantor is
     a party or by which it or any of its or their properties are bound;

          (e) This Amendment constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation
     of Borrowers and Guarantor,  enforceable against each of them in accordance
     with its terms;

          (f) Attached hereto as Exhibit D is a true,  correct and complete copy
     of the Consent and Re-affirmation of Guaranty, which has been duly executed
     and  delivered  by Siegel in favor of  SouthTrust  in  connection  with the
     transactions contemplated in this Amendment.

          (g) The Borrowers and the Guarantor entered into the Letter Agreement,
     and are  entering  into this  Amendment,  freely and  voluntarily  with the
     advice of legal counsel of their own choosing; and

          (h) On or prior to the date hereof,  in accordance with the provisions
     of  Section  8.5 of the  Loan  Agreement,  the  Borrowers  have  reimbursed
     SouthTrust  for all of  SouthTrust's  costs and expenses for which invoices
     have been delivered to the Borrowers,  including,  without limitation,  all
     such  costs and  expenses  incurred  in  connection  with the  preparation,
     negotiation and implementation of this Amendment.

     5. Certain  Acknowledgments  by Borrowers and Guarantor.  Each Borrower and
the Guarantor  hereby  acknowledges,  stipulates and agrees that: (a) all of the
obligations  of Borrowers  under the Loan Agreement are absolutely due and owing
by  Borrowers  to  SouthTrust   without  any  defense,   deduction,   offset  or
counterclaim  (and,  to the  extent  Borrowers  or  Guarantor  had any  defense,
deduction,  offset  or  counterclaim  on the date  hereof,  the  same is  hereby
waived); (b) the Loan Agreement and all other documents and instruments executed
in connection  therewith or in  connection  with any  predecessor  agreement are
legal,  valid and binding  obligations of Borrowers and  Guarantor,  enforceable
against  Borrowers and Guarantor in accordance with their respective  terms; (c)
each of Borrowers and the  Guarantor  has consented to, and hereby  ratifies any
and all prior  consents  given by them (or any of them) with respect to the Loan
Documents,   including,   without  limitation,  the  First  Amendment  and  this
Amendment,   all  transactions   contemplated  thereby  and  all  documents  and
instruments  executed in  connection  herewith and  therewith;  and (d) prior to
executing  this  Amendment,  Borrowers and Guarantor  consulted with and had the
benefit of advice of legal  counsel of their own  selection  and each has relied
upon the  advice  of such  counsel,  and in no part upon any  representation  of
SouthTrust  concerning  the legal  effects  of this  Amendment,  any of the Loan
Documents, or any provision hereof or thereof.

     6. Ratification and Reaffirmation of Releases and Waivers.

          (a) Each of the Borrowers and the Guarantor hereby ratifies,  confirms
     and  re-affirms  as of the date  hereof each of the  releases,  waivers and
     undertakings  set  forth in the  Loan  Agreement  and the  Loan  Documents,
     including, without limitation, each of the foregoing contained in the First
     Amendment,  each of which is hereby  incorporated herein by this reference,
     including, without limitation, those contained in the following Sections of
     the Loan Agreement:  Section 7.5 "Waiver of Right To Stay  Foreclosure Upon
     Occurrence of Major  Default,"  Section 7.6 "Relief from  Automatic  Stay,"
     Section 8.3  "Indemnity,"  Section 8.7 "Waiver by the  Borrowers,"  Section
     8.10 "Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers," and Section 8.11 "Release."

                                       9


          (b) Each of the Borrowers and the Guarantor hereby  acknowledges  that
     the provisions contained in this Section 6, and in the Sections of the Loan
     Agreement  referred to in subsection (a) hereof,  were bargained for by the
     Lender,  and are being  relied  upon by the Lender in  connection  with its
     agreement to enter into the transactions contemplated by the Loan Agreement
     and this Amendment.

     7.  Ratification  of Loan Agreement and Other Loan  Documents.  Each of the
Borrowers and the Guarantor  hereby  ratifies and re-affirms the Loan Agreement,
each of the  other  Loan  Documents  and  all of its or  their  obligations  and
liabilities  thereunder.  Guarantor  hereby ratifies and reaffirms the validity,
legality  and  enforceability  of the  Guaranty  Agreement  and agrees  that the
Guaranty Agreement is and shall remain in full force and in effect until all the
Obligations of Borrowers under the Loan Agreement, as amended by this Amendment,
and as the same may hereafter be amended or modified,  and all other  Guaranteed
Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty  Agreement) have been  indefeasibly paid
and satisfied in full.

     8.  Debtor-Creditor  Relationship.  Nothing  in  this  Amendment  shall  be
construed to alter the existing  debtor-creditor  relationship between Borrowers
and Lender,  nor is this  Amendment or any Loan  Document  intended to change or
affect in any way the relationship between Lender and the Guarantor to one other
than a  debtor-creditor  relationship.  This Amendment,  together with the other
Loan Documents, is not intended, nor shall any of them be construed to create, a
partnership  or joint venture  relationship  between or among any of the parties
hereto.  No person  other than a party  hereto is intended  to be a  beneficiary
hereof and no person other than a party hereto shall be  authorized to rely upon
the contents of this Amendment.

     9. Entire Agreement.  This Amendment  supersedes  paragraph 2 of the Letter
Agreement;  however, the remainder of the Letter Agreement remains in full force
and effect.  Accordingly,  this Amendment, the Loan Agreement as amended hereby,
the Letter  Agreement (to the extent not  superseded as provided  above) and the
other  Loan  Documents,  together  constitute  the entire  understanding  of the
parties  with  respect  to the  subject  matter  hereof  and  thereof.  The Loan
Agreement, as amended hereby, may not be modified,  altered or amended except by
an agreement in writing signed by all the parties hereto.

     10. Waiver of Existing Defaults; No Additional Waiver.

          (a) By its execution and delivery of this Amendment, SouthTrust hereby
     waives the occurrence of (i) the Events of Default  identified in paragraph
     1 of the Letter  Agreement,  and (ii) each other Event of Default (A) which
     has occurred  prior to the date of this  Amendment  and (B) with respect to
     which either (1) the Borrowers have notified SouthTrust in writing prior to
     the date hereof or (2) SouthTrust has otherwise obtained knowledge prior to
     the date hereof (collectively,  the "Existing  Defaults").  Notwithstanding
     the foregoing,  each of the Borrowers and the Guarantor hereby  acknowledge
     and agree that, if the Borrowers have not cured the Default  resulting from
     their  failure to make the Cash Flow  Payments in a timely manner by paying
     SouthTrust the sum of $200,000.00 on or prior to July 6, 2000, as permitted
     in  Section  2(c)  hereof,  then any  failure by the  Borrowers  to pay any
     installment payment described in such Section 2(c) on the date such payment
     becomes due will constitute a Major Default.

                                       10


          (b) No delay or failure on the part of Lender in the  exercise  of any
     right,  power or privilege granted under the Loan Agreement,  as amended by
     this Amendment,  or any of the other Loan Documents, or available at law or
     in equity,  shall impair any such right, power or privilege or be construed
     as a waiver of any Event of Default thereunder or any acquiescence therein.
     No single or partial  exercise of any such right,  power or privilege shall
     preclude the further exercise of such right, power or privilege.  No waiver
     shall be valid against  Lender unless made in writing and signed by Lender,
     and then only to the extent expressly  specified  therein.  In furtherance,
     and not in  limitation,  of the  foregoing,  each of the  Borrowers and the
     Guarantor hereby  acknowledges  that,  except as expressly  provided herein
     with respect to the Existing Defaults,  SouthTrust has not waived any Event
     of Default which may exist or which may have  occurred,  nor has SouthTrust
     made any commitment of any kind to grant any waiver with respect thereto in
     the future, and SouthTrust  reserves all of its rights and remedies arising
     as a result of any such  Event of  Default,  under the Loan  Agreement,  as
     amended hereby, or otherwise arising at law or in equity.

     11. No Novation,  Etc..  This Amendment is not intended to be, nor shall it
be construed to create,  a novation or accord and  satisfaction,  and, except as
otherwise  expressly  modified  herein,  the Loan  Agreement  and the other Loan
Documents shall remain in full force and effect.


     12. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number
of counterparts and by different parties hereto,  each of which when so executed
shall  constitute an original,  but all of which taken together shall be one and
the same instrument.  In proving this Amendment or any of the Loan Documents, it
shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such  counterpart
signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. Any signature  delivered
by a party  telecopy  or  facsimile  transmission  shall be deemed  an  original
signature hereto. Notice of Lender's acceptance hereof is hereby waived.

     13. Release. To induce the Lender to enter into this Amendment, each of the
Borrowers  and  the  Guarantor,   for  themselves  and  their  respective  legal
representatives,   successors,   predecessors,  heirs  and  assigns,  and  their
respective officers,  directors,  stockholders,  agents, servants and employees,
hereby release,  acquit and forever  discharge the Lender,  its Participants and
any   of   the   Participants'   general   partners,    limited   partners   and
sub-participants,  and the officers, directors,  stockholders, general partners,
limited partners,  members, agents, servants,  employees, legal representatives,
successors  and  assigns  of  any  of  the  foregoing  (collectively,  "Released
Parties"), of and from any and all claims, demands, debts, actions and causes of
action  of any kind,  whether  absolute  or  contingent,  due or to become  due,
disputed or  undisputed,  liquidated or  unliquidated,  at law or in equity,  or
known or  unknown,  which they or any of them now have or might  hereafter  have
against any one or more of the Released  Parties,  by reason of any act, matter,
contract,  agreement  or  thing  whatsoever  up to the  date of this  Amendment,
including, without limitation, any claim, counterclaim,  demand, debt, action or
cause of action of any kind, and whether arising, directly or indirectly,  under
or in  connection  with the Loan  Agreement,  the Loan  Documents,  the Original
SouthTrust Loan Documents or the Original SouthTrust Indebtedness.

                  14.  Governing Law. This  Amendment is being  delivered to the
Lender, and is performable,  in Jefferson County,  Alabama,  and the substantive
Laws of the United States and the State of Alabama, without giving effect to its
principles of conflict of laws,  shall govern the construction of this Amendment
and the documents  executed and delivered  pursuant  hereto,  and the rights and
remedies  of the  parties  hereto and  thereto,  except to the  extent  that the
location  of any  Collateral  in a state  or  jurisdiction  other  than  Alabama
requires that the perfection of the Lender's  security interest  hereunder,  and
the  enforcement  of  certain  of the  Lender's  remedies  with  respect  to the
Collateral, be governed by the laws of such other state or jurisdiction.

     15.  Survival.   All  representations  and  warranties  contained  in  this
Amendment,  the Loan Agreement or made or furnished on behalf of any Borrower or
Guarantor in  connection  herewith or therewith  shall survive the execution and
delivery  of this  Amendment,  and  shall  survive  until  the  Obligations  are
indefeasibly  paid in full, and thereafter as and to the extent  provided in the
Loan Agreement.

     IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  each of the  undersigned  parties has  executed  this
Amendment,  or has  caused  the same to be  executed  on its  behalf by its duly
authorized officer and agent, on and as of the date first above written.
