         Item 5. Other Events.

         On March 31, 2000, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 and Waiver
(the "Waiver") to the Amended and Restated Credit, Security, Guaranty and Pledge
Agreement, dated as of December 2, 1998, as amended and restated as of October
15, 1999 (the "Credit Agreement"), by and among the Company, certain
subsidiaries of the Company, the lenders named therein, and The Chase Manhattan
Bank, as lender and as agent for the lenders (collectively, the "Bank
Syndicate"). The Waiver, among other things, waives the Company's compliance
with certain financial tests for the period commencing April 1, 2000 through May
5, 2000. In addition, the Waiver requires that the Company operate through May
5, 2000 in strict accordance with a budget, prepared by the Company. The budget
does not provide for the payment of interest under the Company's Convertible
Subordinated Notes (the "Notes") which is due and payable on April 15, 2000,
subject to a 30-day grace period. There can be no assurance that the Bank
Syndicate will not, upon expiration of the Waiver, prohibit the payment of
interest on the Notes prior to the end of such grace period, or that the Company
will have funds available to make such payment, in which event the Company would
be in default under such Notes, which would cross-default the Company's other
indebtedness.

         The foregoing summary of the Waiver is qualified in its entirety by
reference to a copy of the Waiver filed as an Exhibit hereto and incorporated
herein by reference.

         Item 7. Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information
                 and Exhibits.

         (a)      Financial Statements of Businesses Acquired: Not applicable.

         (b)      Pro Forma Financial Information: Not applicable

         (c)      Exhibits

                  No.      Exhibit

                  10.1     Amendment No. 3 and Waiver dated as of March 31, 2000
                           to the Amended and Restated Credit, Security,
                           Guaranty and Pledge Agreement, dated as of December
                           2, 1998 as amended and restated as of October 15,
                           1999.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual agreements

         1. AMENDMENTS. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent

         definition:

              "Budget' shall mean the six-week cash forecast prepared by the

         than fifty percent (50%) of such Net Cash Proceeds, in which case the
         Company may retain such lesser

         Cash Proceeds, in which case the Company shall pay such higher amount)
         of such Net Cash Proceeds to the Lenders to permanently prepay Tranche
         B Loans then outstanding and (y) except as set forth in clause (x) of
         this Section, the Company may retain sixty percent (60%) of Net Cash
         Proceeds received during such period (unless pursuant to the formula
         set forth above the Company is entitled to retain less than sixty
         percent (60%) of such Net Cash Proceeds, in which case the Company may
         retain such lesser amount) and shall use such amount to prepay Tranche
         A Loans until the Tranche A Loans are repaid in full, and the Company
         shall pay forty percent (40%) (unless pursuant to the formula set forth
         above the Company is required to pay more than forty percent (40%) of
         such Net Cash Proceeds, in which case the Company shall pay such higher
         amount) of such Net Cash Proceeds to the Lenders to permanently prepay
         Tranche B Loans then outstanding."

         (c) Section 3.03(d) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding
to the chart set forth therein the following:

              "Date                        Principal Amount

         respects operate in strict accordance with the disbursements set forth
         in the Budget, including, without limitation, by not disbursing for any
         line item on a cumulative basis during the Budget period any amounts in
         excess of the forecasted disbursements for such line item.

                  Section 6.28. Amendment to Keen Realty Agreement. No later
         than April 5, 2000, deliver to the Agent a fully executed amendment to

         (a) Compliance with (i) Sections 7.13(a) and (c) of the Credit
Agreement, (ii) Section 6.16 of the Credit Agreement, but only with respect to

Agreement is hereby waived for the period commencing April 1, 2000 to and

provided that (i) any breach during the Waiver Period in the timely performance,
observance or fulfillment of any of the terms or conditions contained in this
Amendment shall constitute an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement and,
unless the Agent and the requisite number of Lenders otherwise agree in writing,
shall result in an immediate termination of the effectiveness of the waivers
contained herein; and (ii) an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred
as of the close of business on the Waiver Termination Date (as defined below) if
the Company is not in compliance as of such date with Sections 7.13(a) and (c)
of the Credit Agreement at the levels set forth in the Credit Agreement as of
the date hereof without giving effect to the waivers contained herein. In
addition, the waivers provided for above shall automatically terminate upon the
failure by the Company to comply in any respect with Section 6.27 of the Credit
Agreement. As used herein, the term "Waiver Termination Date" shall mean 5:00
p.m. on May 5, 2000 (New York City time), or such later date as may be agreed
upon in writing by the Agent and the Required Lenders. Upon the occurrence of
any Event of Default, the Agent and the Lenders shall have all rights and
remedies available to them under the Loan Documents, at law or otherwise with
respect to each Event of Default, which rights and remedies are hereby expressly
reserved.

         (b) Compliance with Section 6.03(a) of the Credit Agreement, but only

Company, LLC or other certified public accountants shall be unqualified, is
hereby waived only with respect to the report accompanying the financial
statements of the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 1999.

warrant that, after giving effect to this Amendment:

         (a) the representations and warranties contained in the Credit
Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date
hereof as if such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the
date hereof (except to the extent that any such representations and warranties
specifically relate to an earlier date); and

         (b) no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing
on and as of the date hereof.

         4. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. The effectiveness of this Amendment is subject
to the satisfaction in full of each of the conditions precedent set forth in
this Section 4 (the date on which all such conditions have been satisfied being
herein called the "Effective Date"):

implication an amendment or waiver of any other provision of Credit Agreement or
any default which may occur or may have occurred under the Credit Agreement.

         (d) Should there be a need for further amendments or waivers with
respect to the matters addressed herein or any other matters, requests for such
amendments or waivers shall be evaluated by the Lenders when formally requested,
in writing, by the Company, and the Lenders may deny any such requests for any
reason in their sole discretion.

         (e) This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall
constitute but one Amendment. Facsimile signatures at the foot hereof shall be
given the same effect as originals.

         (f) This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document.

         (g) This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance

         (i) The Credit Parties acknowledge that they have no existing defense,
