Preamble
Pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement, Foothill
established a revolving line of credit for the benefit of Old Borrower. Pursuant
to the Merger Agreement (as defined in the Eighth Amendment) Old Borrower merged
into New Borrower, with New Borrower continuing as the Surviving Corporation.
Pursuant to the Eighth Amendment, the parties agreed to negotiate during the
120-day period following the Effective Date (as defined in the Eighth Amendment)
with a view to entering into a replacement loan and security agreement. Whereas,
the 120-day period expired as of December 12, 2000, the parties entered into
Amendment No. 1 to the Eighth Amendment to, among other things, extend such date
to December 31, 2000. The parties hereto now desire to extend this date to
January 12, 2001. Accordingly, New Borrower and Foothill hereby agree as
follows:
1. Definitions. All terms used herein which are defined
in the Eighth Amendment and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
given to such terms in the Eighth Amendment.

following the Effective Date with a view to entering into either (i)
a loan and security agreement and related agreements that would
supercede the Loan and Security Agreement and Loan Documents or (ii)
amendments to the Loan and Security Agreement and Loan Documents on
terms and conditions to be determined. If no such agreements are
executed and delivered on or before the date which is 151 days after
the Effective Date, all Notes shall automatically mature, and all
principal, interest, reimbursement obligations and fees then accrued
and outstanding under any Loan Document shall be immediately due and
payable together with a fee in the amount of two percent (2%) of the
Maximum Revolving Amount then in effect. Notwithstanding the provisions
of Section 3.6 of the Loan and Security Agreement, the Early
Termination Premium payable at any time during the 151-day period
following the Effective Date shall be two percent (2%) of the Maximum
