indebtedness by Fleet Capital Corporation ("Fleet") as of May 10, 1996, the
parties hereto amended selected terms of the Debenture Acquisition Agreement and
the Debenture in exchange for certain financial accommodations to Blair pursuant
to an Amendment Agreement of even date therewith.

as of February 14, 1997, consistent with certain amendments made by Eagle,
Pacific and Arrow to their credit facility with Fleet.

even date herewith (the "MassMutual Purchase Agreement") between EPII, as
seller, and Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, MassMutual Corporate
Investors, MassMutual Participation Investors and MassMutual Corporate Value
Partners Limited, as purchasers (collectively, "MassMutual"), the Company is
seeking Blair's consent thereto and waiver of certain of its rights with respect
thereto and, in connection therewith, desires to again amend selected terms and
conditions of the Debenture Acquisition Agreement, all as hereinafter set forth.
