stated events, and also for repayments and reborrowings on account of the
principal hereof prior to maturity upon the terms, conditions and provisions
specified therein.

         The Borrowers and each endorser and any other party liable on this
Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Loan Note severally waive demand,
presentment, notice of dishonor and protest, and consent to any extension or
postponement of time of its payment without limit as to the number or period, to
any substitution, exchange or release of all or part of any collateral securing
this Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Loan Note, to the addition of
any party, and to the release or discharge of, or suspension of any rights and
remedies against, any person who may be liable for the payment of this Third

$4,500,000.00                     Columbus, Ohio                 June 19, 1998

ESI-North Limited, MPW Container Management Corp. and Maintenance Concepts, Inc.
(collectively, the "Borrowers"), jointly and severally, hereby promise to pay to
the order of National City Bank (the "Bank") or its assigns, as further provided
herein, the principal amount of Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($4,500,000) or, if such principal is less, the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made by the Bank to the Borrowers pursuant
to the Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement referred to below, together with
interest on the unpaid principal balance from time to time outstanding hereunder
until paid in full at the rates of interest determined in accordance with such
Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement. Such interest shall be due and payable
on the dates set forth in such Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement. Both
principal and interest are payable in federal funds or other immediately
available money of the United States of America at the main office of the Agent

$4,500,000, executed by the Borrower and payable to the order of the Bank, and
is one of the Revolving Credit Loan Notes referred to in the Revolving Credit
and Term Loan Agreement among the Borrowers, the Bank, Bank One, NA and Bank
One, NA, as Agent (the "Agent"), dated as of December 10, 1997, as the same may
be amended, modified, supplemented, restated or replaced from time to time (the
"Agreement"), which Agreement, as so amended, is incorporated by reference
herein. This Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Loan Note evidences the
continuing indebtedness under the Agreement and is not to be construed as a
satisfaction or refinancing of such indebtedness. All capitalized terms used
herein shall have the same meanings as are assigned to such terms in the
Agreement. This Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Loan Note is
entitled to the benefits of and is subject to the terms, conditions and
provisions of the Agreement. The Agreement, among other things, contains
provisions for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain
stated events, and also for repayments and reborrowings on account of the
principal hereof prior to maturity upon the terms, conditions and provisions
specified therein.

         The Borrowers and each endorser and any other party liable on this
Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Loan Note severally waive demand,

postponement of time of its payment without limit as to the number or period, to
any substitution, exchange or release of all or part of any collateral securing
this Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Loan Note, to the addition of
any party, and to the release or discharge of, or suspension of any rights and
remedies against, any person who may be liable for the payment of this Third
Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Loan Note.

Borrowers from the holder hereof are hereby pledged for the security of this and
all other Debt from the Borrowers to the holder hereof, and may, upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, be paid and
applied thereon whether such Debt be then due or is to become due, except for
(a) funds necessary to cover checks for the payment of taxes or employee
contributions in which the Borrowers have no beneficial interest issued to third
parties prior to the date any setoff is claimed by the Bank and (b) accounts
maintained, but not substantially overfunded, for the payment of taxes or
employee contributions in which the Borrowers have no beneficial interest.
