<PAGE>

      3.2. SECTION 2.01; DEFINITION OF CONSOLIDATED TANGIBLE NET WORTH. The
definition of "CONSOLIDATED TANGIBLE NET WORTH" set forth in Section 2.01 of the
Existing Note Agreement shall be and is hereby amended by adding, at the end
thereof, the following:

      "For the avoidance of doubt, Consolidated Tangible Net Worth shall be
      calculated giving effect to all past and future gains and losses of
      Subsidiaries and other entities which are not Consolidated Subsidiaries,
      in each case as provided by GAAP."

      3.3. SECTION 5.07; ASSET SALE OFFER OF PREPAYMENT. Section 5 of the
Existing Note Agreement is hereby amended by inserting a new Section 5.07 at the
end thereof to read in its entirety as follows:

      "5.07 ASSET SALE OFFER OF PREPAYMENT.

      (a) Notice and Offer. In the event that the Company makes an offer (the
      "Prepayment Offer") to prepay the Notes pursuant to Section 8.16 hereof,
      the Company will give written notice of such offer to each holder of Notes
      by telecopy and, simultaneously with the sending of such telecopied
      notice, send a copy of such notice to each such holder via an overnight
      courier of international reputation. Such written notice shall contain,
      and such written notice shall constitute, an irrevocable offer to prepay,
      at the election of each holder, a portion of the Notes held by such holder
      equal to such holder's Ratable Portion (defined in Section 8.16) on a date
      specified in such notice (the "Transfer Prepayment Date") that is not less
      than thirty (30) days and not more than forty-five (45) days after the
      date of such notice. If the Transfer Prepayment Date shall not be
      specified in such notice, the Transfer Prepayment Date shall be the
      thirtieth (30th) day after the date of such notice. If the Company shall
      not have received a written response to such notice from a holder of Notes
      within ten (10) days after the delivery of such telecopied notice to such
      holder of Notes, then the Company shall immediately send a second written
      notice via an overnight courier of international reputation to each such
      holder of Notes who shall not have previously responded to the Company.

      (b) Acceptance and Payment. To accept such Prepayment Offer, a holder of
      Notes shall cause a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the
      Company not later than twenty (20) days after the date of such first
      written notice (or not later than ten (10) days in the case of such second
      written notice) from the Company, provided, that failure to respond to
      such offer in writing within ten (10) days after the delivery of the
      second written notice shall be deemed to be acceptance of the Prepayment
      Offer. If so accepted, such offered prepayment equal to not less than such
      holder's Ratable Portion shall be due and payable on the Transfer
      Prepayment Date. Such offered prepayment shall be made at one hundred
      percent (100%) of the principal amount of such Notes being so prepaid,
      together with interest and Make-Whole Amount on such principal amount then
      being prepaid accrued to and calculated as of the Transfer Prepayment
      Date. Two (2) Business Days prior to the making of any such prepayment,
      the Company shall deliver to each accepting holder of Notes by facsimile
      transmission a certificate of a senior financial officer of the Company,
      specifying the details of the calculation of such Ratable Portion and
      applicable Make Whole Amount as of such Transfer Prepayment Date.

                                       2

<PAGE>

      (c) Officer's Certificate. Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this
      Section 5.07 shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a senior
      financial officer of the Company and dated the date of such offer,
      specifying:

            (i) the Transfer Prepayment Date and the applicable Ratable Portion
      for each holder of Notes;

            (ii) that such offer is being made pursuant to Section 5.07 and
      Section 8.16 of this Agreement;

            (iv) the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid;

            (v) the interest that would be due on each such Note offered to be
      prepaid, accrued to the date fixed for payment; and

            (vi) a calculation of the applicable Make Whole Amount as of the
      date of such notice (assuming the Notes were being prepaid on such date)

      (d) Effect of Prepayment. Each prepayment in respect of the Notes pursuant
      to this Section 5.07 shall be applied to reduce ratably all remaining
      payments then due on the Notes as provided in Section 5.01.

      (e) Notice Concerning Status of Holders of Notes. Promptly after each
      Transfer Prepayment Date and the making of all prepayments contemplated on
      such Transfer Prepayment Date under this Section 5.07 (and, in any event,
      within thirty (30) days thereafter), the Company shall deliver to each
      holder of Notes a certificate signed by a senior financial officer of the
      Company containing a list of the then current holders of Notes (together
      with their addresses) and setting forth as to each such holder the
      outstanding principal amount of Notes held by such holder at such time."

      3.4. SECTION 8; AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. Section 8 of the Existing Note
Agreement is hereby amended by inserting a new Section 8.16 at the end thereof
to read in its entirety as follows:

      "8.16 ACQUISITION/PREPAYMENT.

      On or before November 1, 2005 the Company shall have either:

            (a) Acquired all of the capital stock of each of CAMCO, Inc., a
            Nevada corporation and Superpawn, Inc., a Nevada corporation; or

            (b) repaid Indebtedness for Borrowed Money of the Company (other
            than Indebtedness for Borrowed Money owing to the Company or any of
            its Affiliates and Indebtedness for Borrowed Money in respect of any
            revolving credit or similar credit facility providing the Company
            with the right to obtain loans or other extensions of credit from
            time to time, except to the extent that in connection with such
            payment of Indebtedness for Borrowed Money the availability of
            credit under such credit facility is permanently reduced by an

                                       3

<PAGE>

            amount not less than the amount of the funds applied to the payment
            of such Indebtedness for Borrowed Money) which by its terms is not
            subordinated in right of payment to the Notes ("Payment
            Indebtedness"); provided that in that course of making such
            repayment the Company shall offer to prepay each outstanding Note in
            accordance with Section 5.07 in a principal amount which, when added
            to the Make-Whole Amount applicable thereto, equals the Ratable
            Portion for such Note. If any holder of a Note fails to accept such
            prepayment, then, for purposes of the preceding sentence only, the
            Company nevertheless will be deemed to have paid Payment
            Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Ratable Portion in respect of
            such Note. As used herein the term "Ratable Portion" in respect of a
            holder of Notes means the product of (x) the Remaining Proceeds
            Amount multiplied by (y) a fraction the numerator of which is the
            outstanding principal amount of Notes held by such holder and the
            denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of Payment
            Indebtedness then outstanding (including Payment Indebtedness
            evidenced by the Notes) that will receive or be offered any portion
            of such repayment (calculated immediately prior to such repayment
            and offer). As used herein the term "Remaining Proceeds Amount"
            shall be an amount equal to the greater of (1) zero (0) and (2) the
            result of (A) $80,000,000 minus (B) the aggregate cash consideration
            paid by the Company to acquire one or more operating businesses
            engaged in the same line of business as the Company during the
            period beginning September 1, 2004 and ending November 1, 2005."

      3.5. SECTION 9.02; CONSOLIDATED TANGIBLE NET WORTH. Section 9.02 of the
Existing Note Agreement shall be and is hereby amended and replaced in its
entirety to read as follows:

            "9.02 CONSOLIDATED TANGIBLE NET WORTH.

            (a) If, on or before November 1, 2005, the Company has acquired all
            the capital stock of each of CAMCO, Inc., a Nevada corporation and
            Superpawn, Inc., a Nevada corporation, then the Company will not
            permit Consolidated Tangible Net Worth at any time to be less than
            the sum of (i) $66,676,000 plus (ii) 50% of Consolidated Adjusted
            Net Income (but only if positive) for each Fiscal Quarter ending on
            or after August 12, 2002.

            (b) If, on or before November 1, 2005, the Company has not (i)
            acquired all the capital stock of each of CAMCO, Inc., a Nevada
            corporation and Superpawn, Inc., a Nevada corporation or (ii)
            completed at least $80,000,000 of replacement acquisitions, then the
            Company will not permit Consolidated Tangible Net Worth at any time
            to be less than the sum of (i) $93,000,000 plus (ii) 50% of
            Consolidated Adjusted Net Income (but only if positive) for each
            Fiscal Quarter ending on or after the Closing Date."

      3.6. SECTION 9.14; LIMITATION ON SALE OR ISSUANCE OF SUBSIDIARY STOCK.
Each of Sections 9.14(a) and 9.14(b) of the Existing Note Agreement shall be and
is hereby amended by adding at the end of each such Section the following:
"Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any Subsidiary may at any time
prior to November 1, 2004 complete any one or

                                       4

<PAGE>


more Foreign Entity Sales so long as no Default or Event of Default exists at
the time of such Foreign Entity Sale."

      3.7. SECTION 9.15; LIMITATION ON SALE OF PROPERTIES. Section 9.15 of the
Existing Note Agreement shall be and is hereby amended by inserting the
following sentence at the end of such Section, to read in its entirety as
follows:

      "Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any Subsidiary may at any
      time prior to November 1, 2004 complete any one or more Foreign Entity
      Sales, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists at the time of

To the Persons Named on

      The Company issued and sold $30,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of
its 7.10% Senior Notes due January 2, 2008 (as they may be amended, restated or

entire outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes.

2.    DEFINED TERMS.

      Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Note Agreement.

3.    AMENDMENTS TO THE EXISTING NOTE AGREEMENT.

      Subject to Section 5, the Existing Note Agreement is amended as provided
for by this Amendment Agreement as follows:

      3.1. SECTION 2.01; DEFINITIONS. Section 2.01 of the Existing Note
Agreement shall be and is hereby amended by inserting into such Section, in its
proper alphabetical order, the following definition:

      "Foreign Entity Sales" means the sale by the Company or any Subsidiary of
substantially all of the capital stock of each of (i) Harvey & Thompson Limited,
a limited liability company

<PAGE>

organized under the laws of the United Kingdom, and (ii) CAII Pantbelaning, AB,
a joint stock company organized under the laws of Sweden."

      3.2. SECTION 2.01; DEFINITION OF CONSOLIDATED TANGIBLE NET WORTH. The
definition of "Consolidated Tangible Net Worth" set forth in Section 2.01 of the
Existing Note Agreement shall be and is hereby amended by adding, at the end
thereof, the following:

      "For the avoidance of doubt, Consolidated Tangible Net Worth shall be
      calculated giving effect to all past and future gains and losses of
      Subsidiaries and other entities which are not Consolidated Subsidiaries,
      in each case as provided by GAAP."

      3.3. SECTION 5.07; ASSET SALE OFFER OF PREPAYMENT. Section 5 of the
Existing Note Agreement is hereby amended by inserting a new Section 5.07 at the
end thereof to read in its entirety as follows:

      "Section 5.07; Asset Sale Offer of Prepayment.

      (a) Notice and Offer. In the event that the Company makes an offer (the
      "Prepayment Offer") to prepay the Notes pursuant to Section 8.15 hereof,
      the Company will give written notice of such offer to each holder of Notes
      by telecopy and, simultaneously with the sending of such telecopied
      notice, send a copy of such notice to each such holder via an overnight
      courier of international reputation. Such written notice shall contain,
      and such written notice shall constitute, an irrevocable offer to prepay,
      at the election of each holder, a portion of the Notes held by such holder
      equal to such holder's Ratable Portion (defined in Section 8.15) on a date
      specified in such notice (the "Transfer Prepayment Date") that is not less
      than thirty (30) days and not more than forty-five (45) days after the
      date of such notice. If the Transfer Prepayment Date shall not be
      specified in such notice, the Transfer Prepayment Date shall be the
      thirtieth (30th) day after the date of such notice. If the Company shall
      not have received a written response to such notice from a holder of Notes
      within ten (10) days after the delivery of such telecopied notice to such
      holder of Notes, then the Company shall immediately send a second written
      notice via an overnight courier of international reputation to each such
      holder of Notes who shall not have previously responded to the Company.

      (b) Acceptance and Payment. To accept such Prepayment Offer, a holder of
      Notes shall cause a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the
      Company not later than twenty (20) days after the date of such first
      written notice (or not later than ten (10) days in the case of such second
      written notice) from the Company, provided, that failure to respond to
      such offer in writing within ten (10) days after the delivery of the
      second written notice shall be deemed to be acceptance of the Prepayment
      Offer. If so accepted, such offered prepayment equal to not less than such
      holder's Ratable Portion shall be due and payable on the Transfer
      Prepayment Date. Such offered prepayment shall be made at one hundred
      percent (100%) of the principal amount of such Notes being so prepaid,
      together with interest and Make-Whole Amount on such principal amount then
      being prepaid accrued to and calculated as of the Transfer Prepayment
      Date. Two (2) Business Days prior to the making of any such prepayment,
      the Company shall deliver to each accepting holder of Notes by facsimile
      transmission a certificate of a senior financial

                                       2

<PAGE>

      officer of the Company, specifying the details of the calculation of such
      Ratable Portion and applicable Make Whole Amount as of such Transfer
      Prepayment Date.

      (c) Officer's Certificate. Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this
      Section 5.07 shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a senior
      financial officer of the Company and dated the date of such offer,
      specifying:

            (i) the Transfer Prepayment Date and the applicable Ratable Portion
      for each holder of Notes;

            (ii) that such offer is being made pursuant to Section 5.07 and
      Section 8.15 of this Agreement;

            (iv) the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid;

            (v) the interest that would be due on each such Note offered to be
      prepaid, accrued to the date fixed for payment; and

            (vi) a calculation of the applicable Make Whole Amount as of the
      date of such notice (assuming the Notes were being prepaid on such date)

      (d) Effect of Prepayment. Each prepayment in respect of the Notes pursuant
      to this Section 5.07 shall be applied to reduce ratably all remaining
      payments then due on the Notes as provided in Section 5.01.

      (e) Notice Concerning Status of Holders of Notes. Promptly after each
      Transfer Prepayment Date and the making of all prepayments contemplated on
      such Transfer Prepayment Date under this Section 5.07 (and, in any event,
      within thirty (30) days thereafter), the Company shall deliver to each
      holder of Notes a certificate signed by a senior financial officer of the
      Company containing a list of the then current holders of Notes (together
      with their addresses) and setting forth as to each such holder the
      outstanding principal amount of Notes held by such holder at such time."

      3.4. SECTION 8; AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. Section 8 of the Existing Note
Agreement is hereby amended by inserting a new Section 8.15 at the end thereof
to read in its entirety as follows:

      "Section 8.15 Acquisition/Prepayment.

      On or before November 1, 2005 the Company shall have either:

            (a) Acquired all of the capital stock of each of CAMCO, Inc., a
            Nevada corporation and SuperPawn, Inc., a Nevada corporation; or

            (b) repaid Indebtedness for Borrowed Money of the Company (other
            than Indebtedness for Borrowed Money owing to the Company or any of
            its Affiliates and Indebtedness for Borrowed Money in respect of any
            revolving credit or similar credit facility providing the Company
            with the right to obtain loans or

                                       3

<PAGE>

            other extensions of credit from time to time, except to the extent
            that in connection with such payment of Indebtedness for Borrowed
            Money the availability of credit under such credit facility is
            permanently reduced by an amount not less than the amount of the
            funds applied to the payment of such Indebtedness for Borrowed
            Money) which by its terms is not subordinated in right of payment to
            the Notes ("Payment Indebtedness"); provided that in that course of
            making such repayment the Company shall offer to prepay each
            outstanding Note in accordance with Section 5.07 in a principal
            amount which, when added to the Make-Whole Amount applicable
            thereto, equals the Ratable Portion for such Note. If any holder of
            a Note fails to accept such prepayment, then, for purposes of the
            preceding sentence only, the Company nevertheless will be deemed to
            have paid Payment Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Ratable
            Portion in respect of such Note. As used herein the term "Ratable
            Portion" in respect of a holder of Notes means the product of (x)
            the Remaining Proceeds Amount multiplied by (y) a fraction the
            numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of Notes held
            by such holder and the denominator of which is the aggregate
            principal amount of Payment Indebtedness then outstanding (including
            Payment Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes) that will receive or be
            offered any portion of such repayment (calculated immediately prior
            to such repayment and offer). As used herein the term "Remaining
            Proceeds Amount" shall be an amount equal to the greater of (1) zero
            (0) and (2) the result of (A) $80,000,000 minus (B) the aggregate
            cash consideration paid by the Company to acquire one or more
            operating businesses engaged in the same line of business as the
            Company during the period beginning September 1, 2004 and ending
            November 1, 2005."

      3.5. SECTION 9.02; CONSOLIDATED TANGIBLE NET WORTH. Section 9.02 of the
Existing Note Agreement shall be and is hereby amended and replaced in its
entirety to read as follows:

            "Section 9.02 Consolidated Tangible Net Worth.

            (a) If, on or before November 1, 2005, the Company has acquired all
            the capital stock of each of CAMCO, Inc., a Nevada corporation and
            SuperPawn, Inc., a Nevada corporation, then the Company will not
            permit Consolidated Tangible Net Worth at any time to be less than
            the sum of (i) $66,676,000 plus (ii) 50% of Consolidated Adjusted
            Net Income (but only if positive) for each Fiscal Quarter ending on
            or after August 12, 2002.

            (b) If, on or before November 1, 2005, the Company has not (i)
            acquired all the capital stock of each of CAMCO, Inc., a Nevada
            corporation and SuperPawn, Inc., a Nevada corporation or (ii)
            completed at least $80,000,000 of replacement acquisitions, then the
            Company will not permit Consolidated Tangible Net Worth at any time
            to be less than the sum of (i) $30,625,000 plus (ii) 50% of
            Consolidated Adjusted Net Income (but only if positive) for each
            Fiscal Quarter ending on or after December 31, 1992."

      3.6. SECTION 9.14; LIMITATION ON SALE OR ISSUANCE OF SUBSIDIARY STOCK.
Each of Sections 9.14(a) and 9.14(b) of the Existing Note Agreement shall be and
is hereby amended by

                                       4

<PAGE>

adding at the end of each such Section the following: "Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company or any Subsidiary may at any time prior to November 1,
2004 complete any one or more Foreign Entity Sales so long as no Default or
Event of Default exists at the time of such Foreign Entity Sale."

      3.7. SECTION 9.15; LIMITATION ON SALE OF PROPERTIES. Section 9.15 of the
Existing Note Agreement shall be and is hereby amended by inserting the
following sentence at the end of such Section, to read in its entirety as
follows:

      "Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any Subsidiary may at any
      time prior to November 1, 2004 complete any one or more Foreign Entity
      Sales, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists at the time of
      such Foreign Entity Sale."

Such amendments are referred to herein, collectively, as the "AMENDMENTS."

2.    DEFINED TERMS.

      Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Note Agreement.

3.    AMENDMENTS TO THE EXISTING NOTE AGREEMENT.

      Subject to Section 5, the Existing Note Agreement is amended as provided
for by this Amendment Agreement as follows:

      3.1. SECTION 2.01; DEFINITIONS. Section 2.01 of the Existing Note
Agreement shall be and is hereby amended by inserting into such Section, in its
proper alphabetical order, the following definition:

<PAGE>

      "Foreign Entity Sales" means the sale by the Company or any Subsidiary of
substantially all of the capital stock of each of (i) Harvey & Thompson Limited,
a limited liability company organized under the laws of the United Kingdom, and
(ii) CAII Pantbelaning, AB, a joint stock company organized under the laws of
Sweden."

      3.2. SECTION 2.01; DEFINITION OF CONSOLIDATED TANGIBLE NET WORTH. The
definition of "Consolidated Tangible Net Worth" set forth in Section 2.01 of the
Existing Note Agreement shall be and is hereby amended by adding, at the end
thereof, the following:

      "For the avoidance of doubt, Consolidated Tangible Net Worth shall be
      calculated giving effect to all past and future gains and losses of
      Subsidiaries and other entities which are not Consolidated Subsidiaries,
      in each case as provided by GAAP."

      3.3. SECTION 5.07; ASSET SALE OFFER OF PREPAYMENT. Section 5 of the
Existing Note Agreement is hereby amended by inserting a new Section 5.07 at the
end thereof to read in its entirety as follows:

      "SECTION 5.07. Asset Sale Offer of Prepayment.

      (a) Notice and Offer. In the event that the Company makes an offer (the
      "Prepayment Offer") to prepay the Notes pursuant to Section 8.15 hereof,
      the Company will give written notice of such offer to each holder of Notes
      by telecopy and, simultaneously with the sending of such telecopied
      notice, send a copy of such notice to each such holder via an overnight
      courier of international reputation. Such written notice shall contain,
      and such written notice shall constitute, an irrevocable offer to prepay,
      at the election of each holder, a portion of the Notes held by such holder
      equal to such holder's Ratable Portion (defined in Section 8.15) on a date
      specified in such notice (the "Transfer Prepayment Date") that is not less
      than thirty (30) days and not more than forty-five (45) days after the
      date of such notice. If the Transfer Prepayment Date shall not be
      specified in such notice, the Transfer Prepayment Date shall be the
      thirtieth (30th) day after the date of such notice. If the Company shall
      not have received a written response to such notice from a holder of Notes
      within ten (10) days after the delivery of such telecopied notice to such
      holder of Notes, then the Company shall immediately send a second written
      notice via an overnight courier of international reputation to each such
      holder of Notes who shall not have previously responded to the Company.

      (b) Acceptance and Payment. To accept such Prepayment Offer, a holder of
      Notes shall cause a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the
      Company not later than twenty (20) days after the date of such first
      written notice (or not later than ten (10) days in the case of such second
      written notice) from the Company, provided, that failure to respond to
      such offer in writing within ten (10) days after the delivery of the
      second written notice shall be deemed to be acceptance of the Prepayment
      Offer. If so accepted, such offered prepayment equal to not less than such
      holder's Ratable Portion shall be due and payable on the Transfer
      Prepayment Date. Such offered prepayment shall be made at one hundred
      percent (100%) of the principal amount of such Notes being so prepaid,
      together with interest and Make-Whole Amount on such principal amount then
      being prepaid accrued to and calculated as of the Transfer Prepayment
      Date. Two (2) Business

                                       2

<PAGE>

      Days prior to the making of any such prepayment, the Company shall deliver
      to each accepting holder of Notes by facsimile transmission a certificate
      of a senior financial officer of the Company, specifying the details of
      the calculation of such Ratable Portion and applicable Make Whole Amount
      as of such Transfer Prepayment Date.

      (c) Officer's Certificate. Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this
      Section 5.07 shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a senior
      financial officer of the Company and dated the date of such offer,
      specifying:

            (i) the Transfer Prepayment Date and the applicable Ratable Portion
      for each holder of Notes;

            (ii) that such offer is being made pursuant to Section 5.07 and
      Section 8.15 of this Agreement;

            (iv) the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid;

            (v) the interest that would be due on each such Note offered to be
      prepaid, accrued to the date fixed for payment; and

            (vi) a calculation of the applicable Make Whole Amount as of the
      date of such notice (assuming the Notes were being prepaid on such date)

      (d) Effect of Prepayment. Each prepayment in respect of the Notes pursuant
      to this Section 5.07 shall be applied to reduce ratably all remaining
      payments then due on the Notes as provided in Section 5.01.

      (e) Notice Concerning Status of Holders of Notes. Promptly after each
      Transfer Prepayment Date and the making of all prepayments contemplated on
      such Transfer Prepayment Date under this Section 5.07 (and, in any event,
      within thirty (30) days thereafter), the Company shall deliver to each
      holder of Notes a certificate signed by a senior financial officer of the
      Company containing a list of the then current holders of Notes (together
      with their addresses) and setting forth as to each such holder the
      outstanding principal amount of Notes held by such holder at such time."

      3.4. SECTION 8; AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. Section 8 of the Existing Note
Agreement is hereby amended by inserting a new Section 8.15 at the end thereof
to read in its entirety as follows:

      "SECTION 8.15. Acquisition/Prepayment.

      On or before November 1, 2005 the Company shall have either:

            (a) Acquired all of the capital stock of each of CAMCO, Inc., a
            Nevada corporation and SuperPawn, Inc., a Nevada corporation; or

            (b) repaid Indebtedness for Borrowed Money of the Company (other
            than Indebtedness for Borrowed Money owing to the Company or any of
            its Affiliates

                                       3

<PAGE>

            and Indebtedness for Borrowed Money in respect of any revolving
            credit or similar credit facility providing the Company with the
            right to obtain loans or other extensions of credit from time to
            time, except to the extent that in connection with such payment of
            Indebtedness for Borrowed Money the availability of credit under
            such credit facility is permanently reduced by an amount not less
            than the amount of the funds applied to the payment of such
            Indebtedness for Borrowed Money) which by its terms is not
            subordinated in right of payment to the Notes ("Payment
            Indebtedness"); provided that in that course of making such
            repayment the Company shall offer to prepay each outstanding Note in
            accordance with Section 5.07 in a principal amount which, when added
            to the Make-Whole Amount applicable thereto, equals the Ratable
            Portion for such Note. If any holder of a Note fails to accept such
            prepayment, then, for purposes of the preceding sentence only, the
            Company nevertheless will be deemed to have paid Payment
            Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Ratable Portion in respect of
            such Note. As used herein the term "Ratable Portion" in respect of a
            holder of Notes means the product of (x) the Remaining Proceeds
            Amount multiplied by (y) a fraction the numerator of which is the
            outstanding principal amount of Notes held by such holder and the
            denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of Payment
            Indebtedness then outstanding (including Payment Indebtedness
            evidenced by the Notes) that will receive or be offered any portion
            of such repayment (calculated immediately prior to such repayment
            and offer). As used herein the term "Remaining Proceeds Amount"
            shall be an amount equal to the greater of (1) zero (0) and (2) the
            result of (A) $80,000,000 minus (B) the aggregate cash consideration
            paid by the Company to acquire one or more operating businesses
            engaged in the same line of business as the Company during the
            period beginning September 1, 2004 and ending November 1, 2005."

      3.5. SECTION 9.02; CONSOLIDATED TANGIBLE NET WORTH. Section 9.02 of the
Existing Note Agreement shall be and is hereby amended and replaced in its
entirety to read as follows:

            "SECTION 9.02. Consolidated Tangible Net Worth.

            (a) If, on or before November 1, 2005, the Company has acquired all
            the capital stock of each of CAMCO, Inc., a Nevada corporation and
            SuperPawn, Inc., a Nevada corporation, then the Company will not
            permit Consolidated Tangible Net Worth at any time to be less than
            the sum of (i) $66,676,000 plus (ii) 50% of Consolidated Adjusted
            Net Income (but only if positive) for each Fiscal Quarter ending on
            or after August 12, 2002.

            (b) If, on or before November 1, 2005, the Company has not (i)
            acquired all the capital stock of each of CAMCO, Inc., a Nevada
            corporation and SuperPawn, Inc., a Nevada corporation or (ii)
            completed at least $80,000,000 of replacement acquisitions, then the
            Company will not permit Consolidated Tangible Net Worth at any time
            to be less than the sum of (i) $30,625,000 plus (ii) 50% of
            Consolidated Adjusted Net Income (but only if positive) for each
            Fiscal Quarter ending on or after December 31, 1992."

<PAGE>

      3.6. SECTION 9.14; LIMITATION ON SALE OR ISSUANCE OF SUBSIDIARY STOCK.
Each of Sections 9.14(a) and 9.14(b) of the Existing Note Agreement shall be and
is hereby amended by adding at the end of each such Section the following:
"Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any Subsidiary may at any time
prior to November 1, 2004 complete any one or more Foreign Entity Sales so long
as no Default or Event of Default exists at the time of such Foreign Entity
Sale."

      3.7. SECTION 9.15; LIMITATION ON SALE OF PROPERTIES. Section 9.15 of the
Existing Note Agreement shall be and is hereby amended by inserting the
following sentence at the end of such Section, to read in its entirety as
follows:

      "Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company or any Subsidiary may at any
      time prior to November 1, 2004 complete any one or more Foreign Entity
      Sales, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists at the time of
