                  (e)   DISBURSEMENT.  Prior to 3:00 p.m.

subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Article 4 hereof, disburse the amounts made available to the
Agent by the Banks in like funds by transferring the amounts so
made available by deposit pursuant to the Co-Borrower's
instructions.  Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a
Bank prior to 12:00 p.m. (Houston time) on the date of any Loan
that such Bank will not make available to the Agent such Bank's
ratable portion of such Loan, the Agent may assume that such Bank
has made or will make such portion available to the Agent on the
date of such Loan and the Agent may, in its sole discretion and
in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Co-
Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.  If and to the
extent such Bank shall not have so made such ratable portion
available to the Agent, such Bank agrees to repay to the Agent
forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with
interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made
available to such Co-Borrower until the date such amount is
repaid to the Agent, (x) for the first two Business Days, at the
rate on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the
Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal funds brokers, as
published for such day by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
and (y) thereafter, at the Base Rate.  If such Bank shall repay
to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid
shall constitute such Bank's portion of the applicable Loan for
purposes of this Agreement and if both such Bank and the Co-
Borrower shall pay and repay such corresponding amount, the Agent
shall promptly relend to each Borrower such corresponding amount. 
If such Bank does not repay such corresponding amount immediately
upon the Agent's demand therefor, the Agent shall notify any Co-
Borrower and the Co-Borrowers shall immediately pay such
corresponding amount to the Agent.  The failure of any Bank to
fund its portion of any Loan shall not relieve any other Bank of
its obligation, if any, hereunder to fund its respective portion
of the Loan on the date of such borrowing, but no Bank shall be
responsible for any such failure of any other Bank.  In the event
that a Bank for any reason fails or refuses to fund its portion
of a Loan in violation of this Agreement, then, until such time
as such Bank has funded its portion of such Loan, or all other
Banks have received payment in full (whether by repayment or
prepayment) of the principal and interest due in respect of such
Loan, such non-funding Bank shall (i) have no right to vote
regarding any issue on which voting is required or advisable
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and (ii) shall
not be entitled to receive any payments of principal, interest or
fees from the Agent (or the other Banks) in respect of its Loans.

financial statements and certificate required by SECTION 6.2(A),
(B) AND (D) (without giving effect to an extension granted by the

                                30<PAGE>
Securities and Exchange Commission) and thereafter, the
commitment fee shall be .375%.  In the event that the Co-
Borrowers fail to timely provide the financial statements and
certificate referred to above in accordance with the terms of
SECTION 6.2(A), (B) AND (D) (without giving effect to an
extension granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission)
hereof, and without prejudice to any additional rights under
SECTION 8.2 hereof, the Commitment fee shall be calculated at a
rate of .50% per annum until such financial statements and
certificate are delivered.  Such commitment fee shall be computed
on the basis of a hypothetical year of 360 days for the actual
number of days elapsed, shall be payable quarterly in arrears on
the last day of the months of October, January, April and July
commencing on October 31, 1996, and if then unpaid, on the
Maturity Date (or the date of any earlier prepayment in full of
the Obligations), and shall be fully earned when due and non-
refundable when paid.

                  (b)   The Co-Borrowers shall pay to the Banks,
in accordance with the Banks' respective Commitment Percentages,
a fee on the stated amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit
for each day from the Date of Issue through the Maturity Date (or
the date of any earlier prepayment in full of the Obligations) at
a rate per annum on the amount of the Letter of Credit
Obligations equal to the Eurodollar Rate Margin in effect from
time to time pursuant to SECTION 2.3(B) hereof.  Such Letter of
Credit fee shall be computed on the basis of a hypothetical year
of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed, shall be
payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of the months of
October, January, April and July commencing on October 31, 1996,
and if then unpaid, on the Maturity Date (or the date of any
earlier prepayment in full of the Obligations), and shall be
fully earned when due and non-refundable when paid.  

                  (c)   The Co-Borrowers shall pay to the Issuing
Bank, (A) a fee on the stated amount of each Letter of Credit
issued by the Issuing Bank for each day from the Date of Issue
through the expiration date of each such Letter of Credit (or any
earlier prepayment in full of the Obligations) at a rate of one-
eighth of one percent (1/8%) per annum, which fee shall be
computed on the basis of a hypothetical year of 360 days for the
actual number of days elapsed, shall be payable quarterly in
arrears on the last day of the months of October, January, April
and July commencing on October 31, 1996, and, if unpaid on the
Maturity Date (or any earlier prepayment in full of the
Obligations), and (B) a fee in the amount of $125.00 for issuing,
amending and renewing any Letter of Credit, which fee shall be
due and payable on the date of each issuance, amendment or
renewal of any Letter of Credit.  Each of the foregoing fees
shall be fully earned when due, and non-refundable when paid.



                                31<PAGE>
                  (d)   OTHER FEES.  The Co-Borrowers agree to
pay such other fees to the Agent as may be set forth in the Fee
Letter.

          Section 2.5   PREPAYMENT/REDUCTION OF COMMITMENT.

                  (a)   The principal amount of any Base Rate
Loan may be prepaid in full or in part at any time, without
penalty; and the principal amount of any Eurodollar Loan may be
prepaid prior to the applicable Payment Date, upon three (3)
Business Days' prior written notice to the Agent, provided that
each Co-Borrower shall reimburse the Banks and the Agent, on the
earlier of demand or the Maturity Date, for any loss or out-of-
pocket expense incurred by the Banks or the Agent in connection
with such prepayment, as set forth in SECTION 2.10 hereof.  Each
notice of prepayment shall be irrevocable.  Upon receipt of any
notice of prepayment, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank
of the contents thereof by telephone or telecopy and of such
Bank's portion of the prepayment.  Prepayments of principal
hereunder with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in
minimum amounts of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000.

                  (b)   The Co-Borrowers shall have the right, at
any time and from time to time after the Agreement Date and prior
to the Maturity Date, upon at least three (3) Business Days'
prior written notice to the Agent, without premium or penalty, to
cancel or reduce permanently all or a portion of the Commitment,
on a pro rata basis among the Banks in accordance with the
Commitment Percentages, provided that any such partial reduction
shall be made in an amount not less than $5,000,000 and in
integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.  As of the
date of cancellation or reduction set forth in such notice, the
Commitment shall be permanently reduced to the amount stated in
such Co-Borrower's notice for all purposes herein, and the
Co-Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the Banks the amount
necessary to reduce the principal amount of the Loans, then
outstanding to not more than the amount of the Commitment as so
reduced, together with accrued interest on the amount so prepaid
and the commitment fee set forth in SECTION 2.4(A) accrued
through the date of the reduction with respect to the amount
reduced, and shall reimburse the Agent and the Banks for any loss
or out-of-pocket expense incurred by any of them in connection
with such payment as set forth in SECTION 2.10.

          Section 2.6  REPAYMENT.  All unpaid principal and accrued
interest on the Loans shall be due and payable in full on the
Maturity Date.

          Section 2.7  OTHER MANDATORY REPAYMENTS.  (a) In the event
that Housecall shall issue for cash any Capital Stock (other than
to Welsh Carson), one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash
Proceeds received by Housecall from such Capital Stock issuance
shall be paid within five (5) Business Days from the date of


                                32
<PAGE>
receipt of proceeds thereof by Housecall to the Banks as a
mandatory payment of the Loans, together with interest accrued
thereon to the date of prepayment.  The Commitment shall be
permanently reduced by the amount of any payment of the Loans due
under this Section 2.7(a) whether or not such payment is actually
made.

       (b)        In the event that Housecall shall sell any
assets in a transaction covered by Section 7.9(e) hereof and in
an amount in excess of the Asset Sale Basket (with the consent of
the Majority Banks in accordance with SECTION 7.9), one hundred
percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds received by Housecall
from such sale in excess of the Asset Sale Basket shall be paid
within five (5) Business Days from the date of receipt of
proceeds thereof by Housecall to the Banks as a mandatory payment
of the Loans, together with interest accrued thereon to the date
of prepayment.  The Commitment shall be permanently reduced by
the amount of any payment of the Loans due under this
SECTION 2.7(B) whether or not such payment is actually made;
provided, however, if and to the extent that such proceeds result
from the sale of any asset which is being replaced or will be
replaced within one year after the date of receipt of such Net
Cash Proceeds by a similar or comparable replacement asset having
a comparable fair market value or in connection with a Permitted
Acquisition and if Housecall notifies the Agent in writing within
five (5) Business Days after the applicable sale of its intention
to replace the asset sold, or to use such funds for a Permitted
Acquisition, the Commitment shall not be permanently reduced
until the one year anniversary of such sale, and on such one year
anniversary, the Commitment shall be permanently reduced by
(i) one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Cash Proceeds received
by Housecall from such sale if Housecall fails to notify the
Agent in writing on or before the one year anniversary of such
asset sale that the replacement asset has been acquired, or a
Permitted Acquisition has been completed or (ii) the amount of
any excess Net Cash Proceeds not used to acquire the replacement
asset or in connection with a Permitted Acquisition.

       (c)        Within five Business Days (or such longer
period of time agreed to by the Banks) of each receipt by
Housecall or any of its Subsidiaries of any proceeds on account
of any over funded pension plans, Housecall shall prepay, or
cause such Subsidiary to prepay on behalf of Housecall, to the
Agent for the account of the Banks, an amount equal to 100% of
all of such proceeds; provided, however, Housecall shall not be
obligated to make such prepayments until the aggregate cumulative
amount of such proceeds received by it or such Subsidiary on and
after the date hereof shall exceed $25,000.00.  Such prepayments
shall be applied to the Loans in the same manner as prepayments
pursuant to SECTION 2.7(a).  The Commitment shall not be
permanently reduced by the amount of any payment of the Loans
under this SECTION 2.7(C).

                                33<PAGE>
                  (d)   Within ninety (90) days after the end of
each fiscal year (commencing with fiscal year ending June 30,
1997) (or such longer period of time agreed to by the Majority
Banks), Housecall shall prepay the outstanding principal balance
of the Loans by making a prepayment to the Agent for the account
of the Banks in an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of
Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year.  Prepayments pursuant to
this subsection shall be applied to the Loans in the same manner
as prepayments pursuant to SECTION 2.7(A).  The Commitment  shall
not be permanently reduced by the amount of any payment of the
Loans due under this SECTION 2.7(D)

                  (e)   In the event of any prepayment under this
SECTION 2.7 of a Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of
the Interest Period therefor, the applicable Co-Borrower shall be
obligated to reimburse the Banks in respect thereof pursuant to
SECTION 2.10.

          Section 2.8   NOTES; LOAN ACCOUNTS.

                  (a)   The Loans shall be repayable in
accordance with the terms and provisions set forth herein, and
shall be evidenced by the Notes.  One Note shall be payable to
the order of each Bank in accordance with the respective
Commitment Percentage of such Bank.

                  (b)   The Agent may open and maintain on its
books in the name of each Co-Borrower a loan account with respect
to the Loans made to such Co-Borrower and interest thereon.  The
Agent shall debit such loan account for the principal amount of
each Loan made by it on behalf of the Banks to such Co-Borrower,
the accrued interest thereon, and all other amounts which shall
become due from each Co-Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and
shall credit such loan account for each payment made by or on
behalf of such Co-Borrower in respect to the Obligations.  The
records of the Agent with respect to each such loan account shall
be conclusive, absent manifest error, of the principal amount of
the Loans and accrued interest thereon.

          Section 2.9  MANNER OF PAYMENT.

                  (a)   WHEN PAYMENTS DUE.

                        (i)      Each payment (including any
prepayment) by any Co-Borrower on account of the principal of or
interest on the Loans, fees, and any other amount owed to the
Banks or the Agent under this Agreement, the Notes, or the other
Loan Documents shall be made not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York
time) on the date specified for payment under this Agreement or

                               34<PAGE>
any other Loan Document to the Agent at the Agent's Office, for
the account of the Banks or the Agent, as the case may be, in
lawful money of the United States of America in immediately
available funds.  Any payment received by the Agent after 1:00
p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed received on the next
Business Day.  In the case of a payment for the account of a
Bank, the Agent will promptly thereafter distribute the amount so
received in like funds to such Bank.  If the Agent shall not have
received any payment from the Co-Borrowers as and when due, the
Agent will promptly notify the Banks accordingly.

                        (ii)     If any payment under this
Agreement or any of the Notes shall be specified to be made upon
a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be made on the next
succeeding day which is a Business Day, and such extension of
time shall in such case be included in computing interest and
fees, if any, in connection with such payment.

                  (b)   NO DEDUCTION.

                        (i)      Each Co-Borrower agrees to pay
principal, interest, fees, and all other amounts due hereunder or
under the Notes without set-off or counterclaim or any deduction
whatsoever.  If any Co-Borrower shall hereafter be required by
law to deduct any taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
hereunder or under any Note to any Bank (other than taxes imposed
on or measured by such Bank's income, or franchise or branch
profit taxes imposed on such Bank, by the jurisdiction under the
laws of which such Bank is organized or any political subdivision
thereof and also excluding, in the case of each Bank, taxes
imposed on its income, and franchise and branch profit taxes
imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Bank's applicable
lending office or any political subdivision thereof), Issuing
Bank or the Agent, (A) the sum payable shall be increased as may
be necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this SECTION 2.9(b)), such Bank, Issuing Bank or the Agent (as
the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such deductions been made, (B) such Co-
Borrower shall make such deductions and (C) such Co-Borrower
shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation
authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

                        (ii) (A)      Each Bank that is organized
under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of
America or any state thereof (including the District of Columbia)
agrees to furnish to the Co-Borrowers and the Agent, prior to
time it becomes a Bank hereunder, two (2) copies of either U.S.
Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 or U.S. Internal Revenue
Service Form 1001 or any successor forms thereto (wherein such
Bank claims entitlement to complete exemption from or a reduced
rate of U.S. federal withholding tax on interest paid by the Co-
Borrowers hereunder) and to provide to the Co-Borrowers and the
Agent a new Form 4224 or Form 1001 or any successor forms thereto
if any previously delivered form is found to be incomplete or
incorrect in any material respect or upon the obsolescence of any
previously delivered form; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Bank shall

                               35
<PAGE>
be required to furnish any such form under this paragraph if it
is not entitled to claim an exemption from or reduced rate of
withholding tax under Applicable Law.  Any Bank that is not
entitled to claim an exemption from or a reduced rate of 
withholding tax under Applicable Law, promptly upon written
request of the Co-Borrowers, shall so inform the Co-Borrowers and
the Agent in writing.

       (B)        No Co-Borrower shall be required to pay any
amounts pursuant to this SECTION 2.9(b) to any Bank for the
account of such Bank in respect of any United States withholding
taxes payable hereunder (and each Co-Borrower, if required by law
to do so, shall be entitled to withhold such amounts and to pay
such amounts to the United States Internal Revenue Service) if
the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have
arisen but for the failure by such Bank to comply with its
obligations under the immediately preceding paragraph of this
Section, and such Bank shall not be entitled to exemption from
deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax in
respect of the payment of any such sum by any Co-Borrower
hereunder for, in each case, any reason other than a change in
the United States law or regulations or any applicable tax treaty
or regulations or in the official interpretation of any such law,
treaty or regulations by any governmental authority charged with
the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not
having the force of law) after the date such Bank becomes a Bank
hereunder.

       (C)        Within sixty (60) days after the written
request of any Co-Borrower, each Bank shall execute and deliver
such certificates, forms or other documents, which in each such
case can be reasonably furnished by such Bank consistent with the
facts and which are reasonably necessary to assist any Co-
Borrower in applying for refunds of taxes remitted by such Co-
Borrower hereunder.

       Section 2.10  REIMBURSEMENT.  Whenever any Bank shall sustain
or incur any losses or out-of-pocket expenses in connection with (i)
failure by any Co-Borrower to borrow or reborrow any Eurodollar
Loan, or reborrow any Loan as a Eurodollar Loan, in each case,
after having given notice of its intention to borrow in
accordance with SECTION 2.2 hereof (whether by reason of the
election of each Co-Borrower not to proceed or the non-
fulfillment of any of such conditions set forth in ARTICLE 4), or
(ii) prepayment of any Eurodollar Loan in whole or in part
(whether as a result of a voluntary prepayment, a mandatory
prepayment, acceleration of all sums due hereunder, or
otherwise), the applicable Co-Borrower agrees to pay to such
Bank, upon the earlier of such Bank's demand or the Maturity
Date, an amount sufficient to compensate such Bank for all such
losses and-out-of-pocket expenses.  Such Bank's good faith
determination of the amount of such losses and out-of-pocket
expenses, absent manifest error, shall be binding and conclusive. 
Losses subject to reimbursement hereunder shall include, without

                               36<PAGE>
limiting the generality of the foregoing, expenses incurred by
any Bank or any participant of such Bank permitted hereunder in
connection with the re-employment of funds prepaid, repaid, not
borrowed, or paid, as the case may be, and any lost profit of
such Bank or any participant of such Bank over the remainder of
the Interest Period for such prepaid Loan.  Lost profit of a Bank
arising by reason of liquidation or redeployment of deposits or
other funds acquired by any Bank to fund or maintain Eurodollar
Loans shall be calculated as the remainder obtained by
subtracting:  (x) the interest which would be payable at the
Eurodollar Basis for an amount equal or comparable to such
borrowing for the period of time commencing on the date of the
payment, prepayment or failure to borrow and ending on the last
day of the subject Interest Period, (such Eurodollar Basis to be
based on the number of months within such period rounding upward
for any fraction of a month) from (y) the interest which would
have been paid had there been no such payment, prepayment or
failure to borrow for the period commencing on the date of such
payment, prepayment or failure to borrow and ending on the last
day of such Interest Period.  The obligations of the Co-Borrowers
under this SECTION shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Notes.

        Section 2.11 PRO RATA TREATMENT.

                  (a)   LOANS.  Each Loan from the Banks under
this Agreement shall be made pro rata on the basis of their
respective Commitment Percentages.

                  (b)   PAYMENTS.  Each payment and prepayment of
the principal of the Loans and each payment of interest on the
Loans received from each Co-Borrower shall be promptly made by
the Agent to the Banks pro rata on the basis of their respective
unpaid principal amounts outstanding immediately prior to such
payment or prepayment (except in cases when a Bank's right to
receive payments is restricted pursuant to SECTION 2.2(e)
hereof).  If any Bank shall obtain any payment (whether
involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or
otherwise) on account of the Loans in excess of its ratable share
of the Loans under its Commitment Percentage (or in violation of
any restriction set forth in SECTION 2.2(e) hereof), such Bank
shall forthwith purchase from the other Banks such participation
in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such
purchasing Bank to share the excess payment ratably with each of
them; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if all or any portion of such
excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank,
such purchase from each Bank shall be rescinded and such Bank
shall repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price to the
extent of such recovery without interest thereon unless the Bank
obligated to repay such amount is required to pay interest.  Each
Co-Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation
from another Bank pursuant to this SECTION 2.11(b) may, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of

                                37<PAGE>
payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor
of such Co-Borrower in the amount of such participation.

       Section 2.12    APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS.

                  (a)   Payments Prior to Acceleration.  Prior to
the acceleration of the Loans under SECTION 8.2 hereof, and other
than with respect to payments required to be made pursuant to
SECTION 2.7 hereof (which shall be applied as set forth in
SECTION 2.7 hereof), if some but less than all amounts due from
the Co-Borrowers are received by the Agent, the Agent shall
distribute such amounts in the following order of priority: 
FIRST, to the payment of interest then due and payable on the
Loans; SECOND, to the payment of principal then due and payable
on the Loans; THIRD, to the payment of any fees then due and
payable to the Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document;
FOURTH, to the payment of any fees then due and payable to the
Banks or the Issuing Bank hereunder or under any other Loan
Document; FIFTH, to the extent of any Letter of Credit
Obligations then outstanding, to the Letter of Credit Reserve
Account; SIXTH, to the actual and reasonable costs and expenses
(including attorneys' fees and expenses), if any, incurred by the
Agent in the collection of such amounts under this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents;  SEVENTH, to the payment of all
other Obligations not otherwise referred to in this
SECTION 2.12(a) then due and payable hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents; and EIGHTH, upon satisfaction in full of all
outstanding monetary Obligations, to the Co-Borrowers.

                  (b)   PAYMENTS SUBSEQUENT TO ACCELERATION. 
Subsequent to the acceleration of the Obligations under
SECTION 8.2 hereof, payments and prepayments with respect to the
Obligations made to the Agent, the Banks, the Issuing Bank or
otherwise received by the Agent, any Bank, the Issuing Bank (from
realization on Collateral or otherwise) shall be distributed in
the following order of priority (subject, as applicable, to
SECTION 2.10 hereof):  FIRST, to the actual and reasonable costs
and expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses), if any,
incurred by the Agent or any Bank or an Issuing Bank in the
collection of such amounts under this Agreement or of the Loan
Documents, including, without limitation, any costs incurred in
connection with the sale or disposition of any Collateral;
SECOND, to any fees then due and payable to the Agent under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document; THIRD, to any fees then due
and payable to the Banks and the Issuing Bank under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document; FOURTH, to the payment of
interest then due and payable on the Loans; FIFTH, to the payment
of the principal of any Loans then outstanding; SIXTH, to the
extent of any Letter of Credit Obligations then outstanding, to
the Letter of Credit Reserve Account; SEVENTH, to the payment of
any obligation under any Rate Contract between any Co-Borrower,
on the one hand, and the Agent (or an affiliate of the Agent) or


                                38<PAGE>
one or more Banks (or an affiliate of a Bank), on the other hand;
EIGHTH, to any other Obligations not otherwise referred to in
this SECTION 2.12(b); NINTH, to damages incurred by the Agent or
any Bank by reason of any breach hereof or of any other Loan
Document; and TENTH, upon satisfaction in full of all Obligations
to the Co-Borrowers or as otherwise required by law.

          Section 2.13  USE OF PROCEEDS.  The proceeds of the
Loans shall be used by the Co-Borrowers to finance Permitted
Acquisitions by Housecall, to refinance certain Indebtedness of
Housecall existing prior to the Agreement Date, to fund
transaction costs, and for the Co-Borrowers' general working
capital needs to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions
of this Agreement.

          Section 2.14  INTEREST.  Anything in this Agreement to
the contrary notwithstanding, the Co-Borrowers shall never be
required to pay unearned interest on any Loan and shall never be
required to pay interest on any Loan at a rate in excess of the
Highest Lawful Rate, and if the effective rate of interest which
would otherwise be payable under this Agreement would exceed the
Highest Lawful Rate, or if any Bank shall receive any unearned
interest or shall receive monies that are deemed to constitute
interest which would increase the effective rate of interest
payable under this Agreement to a rate in excess of the Highest
Lawful Rate, then (a) in lieu of the amount of interest which
would otherwise be payable under this Agreement, the Co-Borrowers
shall pay the Highest Lawful Rate, and (b) any unearned interest
paid by the Co-Borrowers or any interest paid by the Co-Borrowers
in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be credited on the
principal of such Loan, and, thereafter, refunded to the Co-
Borrowers.  It is further agreed that, without limitation of the
foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted
for, charged or received by any Bank under this Agreement that
are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds
the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Bank (such Highest
Lawful Rate being such Bank's "Maximum Permissible Rate"), shall
be made, to the extent permitted by usury laws applicable to such
Bank (now or hereafter enacted), by amortizing, prorating and
spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated
term of the Loans all interest at any time contracted for,
charged or received by such Bank in connection therewith.  If at
any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable
to any Bank on any date shall be computed at such Bank's Maximum
Permissible Rate pursuant to this SECTION 2.14 and (ii) in
respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount
of interest otherwise payable to such Bank would be less than the
amount of interest payable to such Bank computed at such Bank's
Maximum Permissible Rate, then the amount of interest payable to
such Bank in respect of such subsequent interest computation
period shall continue to be computed at such Bank's Maximum
Permissible Rate until the total amount of interest payable to
such Bank shall equal the total amount of interest which would

                               39<PAGE>
have been payable to such Bank if the total amount of interest
had been computed without giving effect to this SECTION.

     Section 2.15   GUARANTY.  (a) Each Co-Borrower hereby
unconditionally guarantees to the Banks, the Issuing Bank and the
Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns and
the subsequent holders of the Notes, irrespective of the validity
and enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, or the other
Loan Documents or the obligations of any other Co-Borrower or
other guarantor thereunder, the value or sufficiency of any
Collateral or any other circumstance that might otherwise affect
the liability of a guarantor, that: (i) the principal of and
interest on the Loans made to any other Co-Borrower, any Note
executed by any other Co-Borrower, and all other obligations of
any other Co-Borrower arising from, in connection with or related
to any Loan to such other Co-Borrower, including, without
limitation, breakage costs pursuant to SECTION 2.10 hereof,
taxes, fees, and any and all expenses which may be incurred by
the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Bank in enforcing or
collecting any rights arising in connection with such Loans
(collectively, the "Co-Borrower Loan Obligations"), shall be
promptly paid in full when due, whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise, in accordance with the terms hereof
and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment
or renewal of any Note executed by any other Co-Borrower, or any
of such Co-Borrower Loan Obligations, the same shall be promptly
paid in full when due in accordance with the terms of the
extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration
or otherwise.  Failing payment when due of any amount so
guaranteed for whatever reason, such Co-Borrower will be
obligated to pay the same immediately.

                  (b)   Each Co-Borrower hereby waives
presentment, protest, demand of payment, notice of dishonor and
all other notices and demands whatsoever.  Each Co-Borrower
further agrees that, as between such Co-Borrower, on the one
hand, and the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Banks, on the other
hand, (i) the maturity of the Co-Borrower Loan Obligations
guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in SECTION 8.2
hereof for the purposes of this guarantee, notwithstanding any
stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the Co-Borrower Loan Obligations
guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of
acceleration of such Co-Borrower Loan Obligations as provided in
SECTION 8.2 hereof, such Co-Borrower Loan Obligations (whether or
not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by
each Co-Borrower for purposes of this guarantee.  The obligations
of each Co-Borrower under this SECTION 2.15 shall be
automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason
any payment by or on behalf of any other Co-Borrower is rescinded
or must otherwise be restored by any holder of any of the Co-
Borrower Loan Obligations guaranteed hereunder, whether as a
result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or

                              40<PAGE>
otherwise, and each Co-Borrower agrees that it will indemnify the
Issuing Bank, the Banks and the Agent on demand for actual and
reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Issuing
Bank, the Banks, or the Agent in connection with such rescission
or restoration.  

                  (c)   The guaranty of each Co-Borrower set
forth herein shall remain in full force and effect until the
Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full.  No payment or
payments made by any other Co-Borrower or any other Person or
received or collected by the Agent or any Bank from any other Co-
Borrower or any other Person by virtue of any action or
proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any
time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the
Co-Borrower Loan Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce,
release or otherwise affect the liability of such Co-Borrower
pursuant to this SECTION 2.15, which liability shall,
notwithstanding any such payment or payments, other than payments
made by such Co-Borrower in respect of the Co-Borrower Loan
Obligations, remain for the Co-Borrower Loan Obligations until
the Co-Borrower Loan Obligations are paid in full.  Each Co-
Borrower agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time,
it shall make any payment to the Agent or any Bank on account of
its liability under this SECTION 2.15, it will notify the Agent
in writing that such payment is made under its guaranty
obligations of this SECTION 2.15 for such purpose.  Anything
herein, or in any other Loan Document, to the contrary
notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Co-Borrower under
this SECTION 2.15 shall in no event exceed the amount which can
be guaranteed by such Co-Borrower under applicable federal or
state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors.

                  (d)   Without in any manner limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Co-Borrower agrees that the
Agent, the Majority Banks or the Banks may, in accordance with
SECTION 10.3 hereof, from time to time, consent to any action or
non-action of any Co-Borrower which, in the absence of such
consent, violates or may violate this Agreement, with or without
consideration, on such terms and conditions as may be acceptable
to the Agent, the Majority Banks and the Banks, without in any
manner affecting or impairing the liability of any other
Co-Borrower hereunder. Each Co-Borrower waives any defense
arising by reason of any inability to pay or any defense based on
bankruptcy or insolvency or other similar limitations on
creditors' remedies.  Each Co-Borrower authorizes the Agent and
Banks, without notice or demand and without affecting such
Co-Borrower's liability hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents, from time to time to: (i) renew, extend, accelerate or
otherwise change the time or place for payment of, or otherwise
change the terms of, the Notes or the Obligations or any part
thereof including, without limitation, increase or decrease of
the rate of interest thereon; (ii) take and hold security, and

                               41<PAGE>
exchange, enforce, waive and release any collateral or security
or any part thereof or any such other security or surrender,
modify, impair, change, alter, renew, continue, compromise or
release in whole or in part of any such security, or fail to
perfect its interest in any such security or to establish its
priority with respect thereof; (iii) apply such security and
direct the order or manner or sale thereof as the Agent and
Majority Banks in their sole discretion may determine; (iv)
release or substitute any other Co-Borrower, in whole or in part
or any of the endorsers or guarantors of the Obligations or any
part thereof; (v) settle or compromise any or all of the
Obligations with any other Co-Borrower or any endorser or
guarantor of the Obligations; and (vi) subordinate any or all of
the Obligations to any other obligations of or claim against any
other Co-Borrower, whether owing to or existing in favor of the
Agent or the Banks or any other party.  

                  (e)   The Agent, the Majority Banks or the
Banks, as the case may be, may, at their election, exercise any
right or remedy they may have against any Co-Borrower or any
security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of the Agent
or the Banks including, without limitation, the right to
foreclose upon any such security by judicial or nonjudicial sale,
without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any
other Co-Borrower hereunder, except to the extent the Obligations
may thereby be paid.  Each Co-Borrower waives any defense arising
out of the absence, impairment or loss of any right of
reimbursement or other right or remedy against any other
Co-Borrower or any such security, whether resulting from the
election by the Agent, the Banks or the Majority Banks to
exercise any right or remedy they may have against any other
Co-Borrower, any defect in, failure of, or loss or absence of
priority with respect to the interest of the Agent or the Banks
in such security, or otherwise.  In the event that any
foreclosure sale is deemed to be not commercially reasonable,
each Co-Borrower waives any right that it may have to have any
portion of the Obligations discharged except to the extent of the
amount actually bid and received by the Banks at any such sale. 
Neither the Agent nor any Bank shall be required to institute or
prosecute proceedings to recover any deficiency as a condition of
payment hereunder or enforcement hereof.

                  (f)   Each Co-Borrower waives the benefit of
any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or
the enforcement thereof, to the extent permitted by law.  Any
part performance of the Obligations by a Co-Borrower, or any
other event or circumstances, which operate to toll any statute
of limitations as to such Co-Borrower, shall not operate to toll
the statute of limitations as to any other Co-Borrower.  Each
Co-Borrower waives any defense arising by reason of any
disability or other defense of any other Co-Borrower or by reason
of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of
any other Co-Borrower.  Each Co-Borrower waives any setoff,

                               42<PAGE>
defense or counterclaim which any other Co-Borrower may have or
claim to have against the Agent or the Banks.

       Section 2.16    JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY.  (a) Each
Co-Borrower expressly represents and acknowledges that any
financial accommodations by the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Banks, or any of them, to any other Co-Borrower hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents are and will be of direct
interest, benefit and advantage to all the Co-Borrowers.  Each
Co-Borrower acknowledges that any notice given by the Agent, the
Issuing Bank or any Bank to any Co-Borrower shall be effective
with respect to all Co-Borrowers.  Each Co-Borrower shall be
entitled to subrogation and contribution rights from and against
any other Co-Borrower to the extent such Co-Borrower is required
to pay to the Banks any amount in excess of the Loans advanced
hereunder directly to such Co-Borrower or as otherwise available
under Applicable Law; provided, however, that such subrogation
and contribution rights are and shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of SECTION 2.16(b) hereof.  The provisions of this
SECTION 2.16(a) shall in no way limit the obligations and
liabilities of any Co-Borrower to the Agent, the Issuing Bank and
the Banks and each Co-Borrower shall remain liable to the Agent,
the Issuing Bank and the Banks for the full amount of the
Obligations.

                  (b)   No Co-Borrower will exercise any rights
which it may acquire by way of subrogation hereunder or under any
other Loan Document or at law by any payment made hereunder or
otherwise, nor shall any Co-Borrower seek or be entitled to seek
any contribution or reimbursement from any other Co-Borrower in
respect of payments made by such Co-Borrower hereunder or under
any other Loan Document, until all amounts owing to the Agent,
the Issuing Bank and the Banks on account of the Obligations are
paid in full and the Commitments are terminated.  If any amounts
shall be paid to any Co-Borrower on account of such subrogation
or contribution rights at any time when all of the Obligations
shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by
such Co-Borrower in trust for the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
Banks, segregated from other funds of such Co-Borrower, and
shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Co-Borrower, be turned over
to the Agent in the exact form received by such Co-Borrower (duly
endorsed by such Co-Borrower to the Agent, if required), to be
applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as
provided for herein.

                      The Letters of Credit
                      ---------------------

     Section 3.1       ISSUANCE OF LETTERS OF CREDIT.

                  (a)   Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the Issuing Bank, on behalf of the Banks, and in reliance
on the agreements of the Banks set forth in SECTION 3.2 below,
hereby agrees to issue one or more Letters of Credit up to an
aggregate face amount equal to the Letter of Credit Commitment;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Issuing Bank shall not issue any
Letter of Credit unless the conditions precedent to the issuance
thereof set forth in SECTION 4.3 hereof have been satisfied, and
shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any
Default then exists or would be caused thereby or if, after
giving effect to such issuance, the Available Revolving Loan
Commitment would be less than zero and; provided further,
however, that at no time shall the total Letter of Credit
Obligations outstanding hereunder exceed the Letter of Credit
Commitment.  Each Letter of Credit shall (1) be denominated in
U.S. dollars, and (2) expire no later than the earlier to occur
of (A) the Maturity Date, and (B) one year after its date of
issuance (but may contain provisions for automatic renewal
provided that no Default or Event of Default exists on the
renewal date or would be caused by such renewal).  Each Letter of
Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and, to the extent
not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York. 
The Issuing Bank shall not at any time be obligated to issue, or
cause to be issued, any Letter of Credit if such issuance would
conflict with, or cause the Issuing Bank to exceed any limits
imposed by, any Applicable Law.

                  (b)   Any Co-Borrower may from time to time
request that an Issuing Bank issue a Letter of Credit.  The Co-
Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent and applicable
Issuing Bank a Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit for each
Letter of Credit to be issued by such Issuing Bank, not later
than 11:00 a.m. (Houston time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day
preceding the date on which the requested Letter of Credit is to
be issued, or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the
Issuing Bank and the Agent.  Upon receipt of any such Request for
Issuance of Letter of Credit, subject to satisfaction of all
conditions precedent thereto as set forth in SECTION 4.3 hereof,
the Issuing Bank shall process such Request for Issuance of
Letter of Credit and the certificates, documents and other papers
and information delivered to it in connection therewith in
accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue
the Letter of Credit requested thereby.  The Issuing Bank shall
furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to such Co-Borrower and
the Agent following the issuance thereof.  The Co-Borrowers shall
pay or reimburse the Issuing Bank for normal and customary costs
and expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in issuing, effecting

                               44<PAGE>
payment under, amending or otherwise administering the Letters of
Credit.

       Section 3.2       DRAWS UNDER LETTERS OF CREDIT.

                  (a)   At such time as the Agent shall be
notified by the Issuing Bank that the beneficiary under any
Letter of Credit has drawn on the same, the Agent shall promptly
notify the applicable Co-Borrower and each Bank, by telephone or
telecopy, of the amount of the draw and, in the case of each
Bank, such Bank's portion of such draw amount as calculated in
accordance with its Commitment Percentage.

                  (b)   Each Co-Borrower hereby agrees to
immediately reimburse an Issuing Bank for amounts paid by such
Issuing Bank in respect of draws under a Letter of Credit.  In
order to facilitate such repayment, each Co-Borrower hereby
irrevocably requests the Banks, and the Banks hereby severally
agree, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement (other than
as provided in Article 2 hereof with respect to the amounts of,
the timing of requests for, and the repayment of Loans hereunder
and in Article 4 hereof with respect to conditions precedent to
Loans hereunder), with respect to any drawing under a Letter of
Credit prior to the occurrence of an event described in clauses
(g) or (h) of SECTION 8.1 hereof, to make a Base Rate Loan to the
applicable Co-Borrower on each day on which a draw is made under
any Letter of Credit and in the amount of such draw, and to pay
the proceeds of such Loan directly to the Issuing Bank to
reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount paid by it upon such
draw and the applicable Co-Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a
Request for Advance requesting the making of such Base Rate Loan
on the day of any such draw; provided, however, the failure of
the applicable Co-Borrower to deliver a Request for Advance shall
not effect the validity of any Base Rate Loan made hereunder. 
Each Bank shall fund its share of such Base Rate Loan by paying
its portion of such Loan to the Agent in accordance with
SECTION 2.2(e) hereof and its Commitment Percentage, without
reduction for any set-off or counterclaim of any nature
whatsoever and regardless of whether any Default or Event of
Default (other than with respect to an event described in clauses
(g) or (h) of SECTION 8.1 hereof) then exists or would be caused
thereby.  If at any time that any Letters of Credit are
outstanding, any of the events described in clauses (g) or (h) of
SECTION 8.1 hereof shall have occurred, then each Bank shall,
automatically upon the occurrence of any such event and without
any action on the part of the Issuing Bank, the Co-Borrowers, the
Agent or the Banks, be deemed to have purchased an undivided
participation in the face amount of all Letters of Credit then
outstanding in an amount equal to such face amount of the Letters
of Credit outstanding multiplied by such Bank's Commitment
Percentage, and each Bank shall, notwithstanding such Event of
Default, upon a drawing under any Letter of Credit, immediately
pay to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank, in

                               45<PAGE>
immediately available funds, the amount of such Bank's
participation (and the Issuing Bank shall deliver to such Bank a
loan participation certificate dated the date of the occurrence
of such event and in the amount of such Bank's Commitment
Percentage).  The disbursement of funds in connection with a draw
under a Letter of Credit pursuant to this SECTION hereunder shall
be subject to the terms and conditions of SECTION 2.2(e) hereof. 
The obligation of each Bank to make payments to the Agent, for
the account of the Issuing Bank, in accordance with this
SECTION 3.2 shall be absolute and unconditional and no Bank shall
be relieved of its obligations to make such payments by reason of
noncompliance by any other Person with the terms of the Letter of
Credit or for any other reason.  The Agent shall promptly remit
to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received from the other Banks. 
Any overdue amounts payable by the Banks to the Issuing Bank in
respect of a draw under any Letter of Credit shall bear interest,
payable on demand, (x) for the first two Business Days, at the
rate on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the
Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal funds brokers, as
published for such day by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
and (y) thereafter, at the Base Rate.

                  (c)   Each Co-Borrower agrees that each Loan by
the Banks to reimburse the Issuing Bank for draws under any
Letter of Credit, shall, for all purposes hereunder, be deemed to
be a Base Rate Loan under the Commitment and shall be payable and
bear interest in accordance with all other Loans.

       Section 3.3       ACTIONS BY ISSUING BANK.

                  (a)   Each Co-Borrower agrees that any action
taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Bank in connection
with any Letter of Credit, except for such actions or omissions
as shall constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct on the
part of the Issuing Bank as determined by a final non-applicable
order of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be binding on
each Co-Borrower as between such Co-Borrower and the Issuing
Bank, and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Bank
to the Co-Borrowers.  The obligation of the Co-Borrowers to
reimburse an Issuing Bank for a drawing under any Letter of
Credit or the Banks for Loans made by them to the Issuing Bank on
account of draws made under the Letters of Credit shall be
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all
circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the
following circumstances:

                     (i)    Any lack of validity or
          enforceability of any Loan Document;

                    (ii)    Any amendment or waiver of or consent
          to any departure from any or all of the Loan Documents;


                               46<PAGE>
                   (iii)    Any improper use which may be made of
          any Letter of Credit or any improper acts or omissions
          of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of
          Credit in connection therewith;

                    (iv)    The existence of any claim, set-off,
          defense or any right which any Co-Borrower may have at
          any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of
          any Letter of Credit (or Persons for whom any such
          beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any
          Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with
          any Letter of Credit, any transaction contemplated by
          any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan
          Document, or any unrelated transaction;

                     (v)    Any statement or any other documents
          presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be
          insufficient, forged, fraudulent or invalid in any
          respect or any statement therein being untrue or
          inaccurate in any respect whatsoever;

                    (vi)    The insolvency of any Person issuing
          any documents in connection with any Letter of Credit;

                   (vii)    Any breach of any agreement between
          any Co-Borrower and any beneficiary or transferee of
          any Letter of Credit;

                  (viii)    Any irregularity in the transaction
          with respect to which any Letter of Credit is issued,
          including any fraud by the beneficiary or any
          transferee of such Letter of Credit;

                    (ix)    Any errors, omissions, interruptions
          or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages,
          by mail, cable, telegraph, wireless or otherwise,
          whether or not they are in code;

                     (x)    Any act, error, neglect or default,
          omission, insolvency or failure of business of any of
          the correspondents of the Issuing Bank; and

                    (xi)    Any other circumstances arising from
          causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank.

       Section 3.4       INCREASED COSTS, INDEMNIFICATION, EXPENSES.

                  (a)   If any change in Applicable Law, any
change in the interpretation or administration thereof, or any
change in compliance with Applicable Law by the Issuing Bank as a
result of any request or directive of any Governmental Authority,
central bank or comparable agency (whether or not having the

                              47<PAGE>
force of law) after the Agreement Date shall (i) impose, modify
or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation,
any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System), special deposit, capital adequacy, assessment or other
requirements or conditions against letters of credit issued by
the Issuing Bank or (ii) impose on the Issuing Bank any other
condition regarding this Agreement or any Letter of Credit or any
participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing in
the determination of the Issuing Bank is to increase the cost to
the Issuing Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit
or purchasing or maintaining any participation therein, then, on
the earlier of the Maturity Date or a date not more than fifteen
(15) days after demand by the Issuing Bank, each Co-Borrower
agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank, from time to time as specified
by the Issuing Bank, such additional amount or amounts as the
Issuing Bank determines will compensate it for such increased
costs, from the date such change or action is effective, together
with interest on each such amount from the Maturity Date or the
date demanded, as applicable, until payment in full thereof at
the Base Rate.  A certificate as to such increased cost incurred
by the Issuing Bank as a result of any event referred to in this
paragraph submitted by the Issuing Bank to each Co-Borrower shall
be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the amount thereof.

                  (b)   Each Co-Borrower will indemnify and hold
harmless the Agent, the Issuing Bank and each other Bank and each
of their respective employees, representatives, officers and
directors from and against any and all claims, liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys' fees, but excluding
taxes) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any such other Bank in any way
relating to or arising out of the issuance of a Letter of Credit,
except that the Co-Borrowers shall not be liable to the Agent,
the Issuing Bank or any such Bank for any portion of such claims,
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements resulting
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent, the
Issuing Bank or such Bank, as the case may be, as determined by a
non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.  This
SECTION 3.4(b) shall survive termination of this Agreement.

                  (c)   Each Bank shall be responsible for its
pro rata share (based on such Bank's Commitment Percentage) of
any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses (including
reasonable legal fees) and disbursements which may be incurred or
made by the Issuing Bank in connection with the collection of any
amounts due under, the administration of, or the presentation or
enforcement of any rights conferred by any Letter of Credit, any
Co-Borrower's or any guarantor's obligations to reimburse draws
thereunder or otherwise.  In the event the Co-Borrowers shall
fail to pay such expenses of the Issuing Bank within thirty (30)

                               48<PAGE>
days of demand for payment by the Issuing Bank, each Bank shall
thereupon pay to the Issuing Bank its pro rata share (based on
such Bank's Commitment Percentage) of such expenses within ten
(10) days from the date of the Issuing Bank's notice to the Banks
of the Co-Borrowers failure to pay; provided, however, that if
the Co-Borrowers shall thereafter pay such expenses, the Issuing
Bank will repay to each Bank the amounts received from such Bank
hereunder.

to purchase, acquire, sell, assign or dispose of any real
property respectively owned or leased by it; and no portion of
any real property respectively owned or leased by any Co-Borrower
or any Material Subsidiary has suffered any material damage by
fire or other casualty loss which has not heretofore been
completely repaired and restored to its original condition.  All
material permits required to have been issued or appropriate to
enable the real property owned or leased by any Co-Borrower or
any Material Subsidiary to be lawfully occupied and used for all
of the purposes for which they are currently occupied and used,
have been lawfully issued and are, as of the date hereof, in full
force and effect.

          Section 5.13      TITLE TO PROPERTIES.  Housecall and each
of its Material Subsidiaries has good, marketable, and legal title
to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all of its respective material
properties and assets, and none of such properties or assets is
subject to any Liens (other than Permitted Encumbrances) which
materially detract from the value of such properties or assets or
materially interferes with the business or operations of
Housecall or such Material Subsidiary as presently conducted or
proposed to be conducted.

          Section 5.14  INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.  Schedule 5.14
attached hereto contains a complete and correct list of all
patents, copyrights, trademarks, licenses, service marks, trade
names and other similar rights (the "Intellectual Property
Rights") used by Housecall or any of its Subsidiaries. No
proceedings have been instituted or are pending or have been
threatened in writing which challenge the validity, ownership or

                               59<PAGE>
use of any such Intellectual Property Rights which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the
best knowledge of each of the Co-Borrowers, no infringement of
any Intellectual Property Right of any third party has occurred
or would result in any way from the operations or business of
Housecall or any of its Material Subsidiaries, and, except as set
forth in Schedule 5.15, no claim has been made by any such third
party based on allegation of any such infringement which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          Section 5.15  LIABILITIES, LITIGATION, ETC.  Except for
liabilities incurred in the normal course of business, neither
Housecall nor any of its Subsidiaries has any material
(individually or in the aggregate) liabilities, direct or
contingent, except as disclosed or referred to in the financial
statements referred to in SECTION 5.11 above.  Except as
described on Schedule 5.15 attached hereto, there is no
litigation, legal or administrative proceeding, investigation, or
other action of any nature pending or, to the knowledge of
Housecall, threatened against or affecting Housecall or any of
its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective properties that
involves an amount in controversy in excess of $1,000,000 and
that is not covered by insurance.  None of such litigation
disclosed on Schedule 5.15, individually or collectively,
involves the possibility of any judgment or liability not fully
covered by insurance, or, if determined adversely to Housecall or
such Subsidiary, would have a Materially Adverse Effect. 
Housecall does not know of any unusual or unduly burdensome
material restriction, restraint, or hazard relative to the
business or properties of Housecall or its Subsidiaries that is
not customary for or generally applicable to similarly situated
businesses in the same industry as Housecall or such Subsidiary. 

          Section 5.16  NO ADVERSE CHANGE.  Since June 30, 1996,
there has been no Material Adverse Change, and there has occurred
no event which would have a Material Adverse Effect, on any of
the Co-Borrowers or any Material Subsidiary. 

          Section 5.17  TAX RETURNS AND TAX MATTERS.  Housecall
and each of its Subsidiaries have filed all federal and state
income tax returns which are required to be filed, and each has
paid all taxes as shown on said returns and on all assessments
received by it to the extent that such taxes have become due and
there is no proposed, asserted or assessed material tax
deficiency against Housecall or any of its Subsidiaries, except
those taxes, assessments or deficiencies being contested in good
faith and for which such reserve as is required by GAAP has been
created.  As of the Agreement Date, neither Housecall nor any of
its Subsidiaries is presently being audited by, or received
notice of any future audit from, the Internal Revenue Service or
any other tax authority except as disclosed on Schedule 5.17.

                               60<PAGE>
          Section 5.18      EMPLOYEE BENEFITS.

                  (a)   PLANS MAINTAINED.  Except as provided in
Schedule 5.18(i) with respect to clause (i) below or in Schedule
5.18(ii) with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) below, no
Co-Borrower is, and no Controlled Group member is, a party to,
contributes to or is currently obligated to contribute to any
plans, programs, agreements, policies, commitments or other
arrangements (whether or not set forth in a written document) in
the following categories:

                     (i)    Any funded employee pension benefit
          plan subject to Title IV of ERISA, including (without
          limitation) any Multiemployer Plan,

                    (ii)    Any material retiree health care plan
          other than COBRA (as described in SECTION 5.18(g)
          below) and any material retiree life insurance plan,
          and

                   (iii)    Any material plan that is an excess
          benefit plan or a "top hat" plan, as defined in section
          3(36) or section 301(a) (3) of ERISA, and is unfunded,
          as described in section 4(b) (5) or section 301(a) (3)
          of ERISA.

                  (b)   REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE.  With respect
to each Employee Benefit Plan, including employee welfare benefit
plans not required to be listed in Schedule 5.18 (i) or Schedule
5.18 (ii), and which is subject to the reporting, disclosure and
record retention requirements set forth in Part 1 of Subtitle B
of Title I of ERISA and the regulations thereunder, each of such
requirements has been fully met on a timely basis, except where
instances of failing to do so could not reasonably be expected,
considered in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

                  (c)   QUALIFICATION OF PLANS.  Except as
provided on Schedule 5.18(i), each plan which is listed in
Schedule 5.18(i) attached hereto, and which is intended to be
qualified under section 401(a) of the Code, has been determined
by the Internal Revenue Service in writing to be so qualified. 
To the best knowledge of the Co-Borrowers, since the Internal
Revenue Service issued its determination with respect to any such
plan, there has been no occurrence (including, without
limitation, a plan amendment, the enactment of legislation or the
adoption of regulations) that could cause such plan not to be so
qualified. Within the applicable remedial amendment period
described in the regulations under section 401(b) of the Code, an
application for such a determination was or will be filed with
the Internal Revenue Service with respect to each amendment to
any such plan for which a failure to do so could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Each such plan has
in all material respects been administered in accordance with its

                               61<PAGE>
terms and the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the
regulations thereunder.  

                  (d)   CONTRIBUTIONS AND PREMIUMS.  All material
contributions, premiums or other payments due from any
Co-Borrower or any other member of the Controlled Group to (or
under) any Employee Benefit Plan have been fully paid or
adequately provided for on the books and financial statements of
such Co-Borrower or other member of the Controlled Group.

                  (e)   EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS, LITIGATION AND
EXTRAORDINARY CLAIMS.  There are no pending or, to the best
knowledge of the Co-Borrowers, threatened claims, actions or
lawsuits, other than routine claims for benefits in the usual and
ordinary course, asserted or instituted against (i) any Employee
Benefit Plan, (ii) any member of the Controlled Group with
respect to any Employee Benefit Plan, or (iii) any fiduciary with
respect to any Employee Benefit Plan, for which any Co-Borrower
may be directly or indirectly liable, through indemnification
obligations or otherwise that, in the aggregate could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (f)   PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS.  To the best
knowledge of the Co-Borrowers, with respect to each Employee
Benefit Plan which is subject to Part 4 of Subtitle B of Title I
of ERISA, there does not now exist, nor has there existed within
the six-year period ending on the date hereof, any act or
omission which constitutes a violation of sections 406 or 407 of
ERISA and is not exempted by section 408 of ERISA or which
constitutes a violation of section 4975(c) of the Code and is not
exempted by section 4975(d) of the Code, except for violations
which, considered in the aggregate, would not have a Material
Adverse Effect.

                  (g)   COBRA.  To the best knowledge of the
Co-Borrowers, the Co-Borrowers and all of their Subsidiaries are
in compliance with the requirements of Title X of the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as
amended from time to time, except for violations which,
considered in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse
Effect.

          Section 5.19  ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.  Except as set
forth on Schedule 5.19 hereto:

       (a)        No written notice, notification, demand,
request for information, citation, summons, complaint or order
has been received by Housecall or its Subsidiaries and to the
knowledge of Housecall, no penalty has been assessed and no
investigation or review is pending or threatened by any
governmental or other entity, (i) with respect to any alleged
violation of any Environmental Laws in connection with the
conduct of Housecall or its Subsidiaries and relating to a

                               62<PAGE>
Hazardous Substance or (ii) with respect to any alleged failure
to have any permit, certificate, license, approval, registration
or authorization required in connection with the conduct of
Housecall or its Subsidiaries relating to a Hazardous Substance
or (iii) with respect to any generation, treatment, storage,
recycling, transportation, disposal, or release (including a
release as defined in 42 U.S.C. SECTION 9601(22)) ("Release") of
any Hazardous Substance owned or leased by Housecall or its
Subsidiaries, which alleged violation, alleged failure to have
any required permit, certificate, license, approval, or
registration, or generation, treatment, storage, recycling,
transportation, disposal or release, individually or in the
aggregate, is reasonably likely to result in liability to
Housecall or its Subsidiaries in excess of $250,000.00.

(b)   (i)  To the best of Housecall's knowledge, there has been
no Release of a Hazardous Substance at, on or under any property
owned or leased by Housecall or for which Housecall or any of its
Subsidiaries would be liable, which Release, individually, is
reasonably likely to result in liability to Housecall or its
Subsidiaries in excess of $250,000.00;

                  (ii) neither Housecall nor any of its
Subsidiaries has, other than as a generator or in a manner not
regulated under the Environmental Laws, stored or treated any
"hazardous waste" (as defined in 42 U.S.C. SECTION 6903(5)) on
any property owned or leased by Housecall or its Subsidiaries or
for which Housecall or any of its Subsidiaries would be liable,
except for such storage or treatment which individually or in the
aggregate is not reasonably likely to result in liability to
Housecall or any of its Subsidiaries in excess of $250,000.00;
and (iii) no polychlorinated biphenyl ("PCB") in concentrations
greater than 50 parts per million, friable asbestos, or
underground storage tank (in use or abandoned) is at any property
owned or leased by Housecall or for which Housecall or any of its
Subsidiaries would be liable, except for such PCBs, friable
asbestos or underground storage tanks that are not reasonably
likely, individually or in the aggregate, to result in liability
to Housecall or any of its Subsidiaries in excess of $250,000.00.

       (c)        To the best knowledge of Housecall, neither
Housecall nor any of its Subsidiaries has transported or arranged
for the transportation (directly or indirectly) of any Hazardous
Substance to any location which is listed under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980,
as amended ("CERCLA"), on the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Information System, as
amended ("CERCLIS"), or on any similar state list or which is the
subject of any federal, state or local enforcement action or
other investigation which  may lead to claims for clean-up costs,
remedial work, damages to natural resources or for personal
injury claims, including, but not limited to, claims under CERCLA
that are reasonably likely, individually or in the aggregate, to

                               63<PAGE>
result in liability to Housecall or any of its Subsidiaries in
excess of $250,000.00.

       (d)        No written notification of a Release of a
Hazardous Substance has been filed by or on behalf of Housecall
or any of its Subsidiaries, which individually or in combination
with other such Releases, is reasonably likely to result in
liability for Housecall or any of its Subsidiaries in excess of
$250,000.00.

       (e)        There have been no environmental audits or
similar investigations conducted by or which are in the
possession of Housecall or any of its Subsidiaries in relation to
any property owned or leased by Housecall or for which Housecall
or any of its Subsidiaries would be liable, which identify one or
more environmental liabilities of Housecall or any of its
Subsidiaries which are reasonably likely to exceed $250,000.00
individually or in the aggregate.

          Section 5.20  INSURANCE.  Schedule 5.20 attached hereto
contains a complete and accurate list, as of the Agreement Date,
of all liability and property insurance policies maintained by
Housecall or any of its Material Subsidiaries.  Housecall and
each of its Material Subsidiaries have (either in the name of
Housecall or in such Subsidiary's own name) insurance, which

with sound industry practice taking into account the nature of
their respective businesses (and which self-insurance is fully
described on Schedule 5.20) on all of their respective properties
in at least such amounts and against at least such risks as are
usually insured against in the same geographic area by companies

Approvals.

          Housecall and its Subsidiaries by JCAHO for
          facilities of the type operated by Housecall

any other Person to, emit, release or discharge into air, soil,
surface water or groundwater, any Hazardous Substance in excess
of permitted levels or reportable quantities, or other
concentrations, standards, or limitations under any Governmental

          such plan, meets the requirements for qualification
          under section 401(a) of the Code, unless there is no
          reasonable possibility that the failure to do so would
          have a Material Adverse Effect;

          to meet such requirements in operation and to be
          administered in accordance with the requirements of the
          Code and ERISA, unless the failure to do so could not
          reasonably be expected to result in a liability of
          Housecall or any of its Subsidiaries in excess of
          $500,000; and

                  (c)   Use its best efforts to refrain from
          taking any action that would cause such plan to lose
          its qualification under section 401(a) of the Code or
          to violate the requirements of the Code or ERISA if
          such loss or violation could reasonably be expected to
          result in a liability of Housecall or any of its

                               73<PAGE>

any assets of such Co-Borrower or any other Subsidiary of
Housecall in order to satisfy payment of such contributions.

out of such accounts into the Concentration Account on a daily
basis.

leases or lease agreements to exceed 3.25% of Net Revenues during
any fiscal year.

          Section 7.25 SHAREHOLDER LITIGATION.  Housecall shall not

in excess of $2,000,000 without the prior consent of the Super
Majority Banks.

          Section 8.2   REMEDIES.  If an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing,

                  (a)   With the exception of an Event of Default
specified in SECTION 8.1(g) or (h), the Agent, at the direction
of the Majority Banks, shall (i) terminate the Commitment and the
Letter of Credit Commitment, and/or (ii) declare the principal of
and interest on the Loans and the Notes and all other Obligations
to be forthwith due and payable without presentment, demand,
protest, or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived, anything in this Agreement or in the Notes to the
contrary notwithstanding, or both.

                  (b)   Upon the occurrence and continuance of an
Event of Default specified in SECTIONs 8.1(g) or (h), such
principal, interest, and other Obligations shall thereupon and
concurrently therewith become due and payable, and the Commitment
and the Letter of Credit Commitment, shall forthwith terminate,
all without any action by the Agent or the Banks or the Majority
Banks or the holders of the Notes and without presentment,
demand, protest, or other notice of any kind, all of which are
expressly waived, anything in this Agreement or in the Notes to
the contrary notwithstanding.

                  (c)   The Agent, with the concurrence of the
Majority Banks, shall exercise all of the post default rights
granted to it and to them under the Loan Documents or under
Applicable Law.  The Agent, for the benefit of itself, the
Issuing Bank and the Banks, shall have the right to the
appointment of a receiver for the property of each Co-Borrower,
and each Co-Borrower hereby consents to such rights and such
appointment and hereby waives any objection such Co-Borrower may
have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted

                                84<PAGE>
by the Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Banks in connection
therewith.

                  (d)   In regard to all Letters of Credit with
respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at
the time of any acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to the
provisions of this SECTION 8.2, the Co-Borrowers shall promptly
upon demand by the Agent deposit in a Letter of Credit Reserve
Account opened by Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Bank and
the Banks an amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of
the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letter of
Credit Obligations.  Amounts held in such Letter of Credit
Reserve Account shall be applied by the Agent to the payment of
drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion
thereof after such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been
fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other
obligations of the Co-Borrowers hereunder and under the Notes in
the manner set forth in SECTION 2.12 hereof.  Pending the
application of such deposit to the payment of the Obligations,
the Agent shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, invest
such deposit in an interest bearing open account or similar
available savings deposit account and all interest accrued
thereon shall be held with such deposit as additional security
for the Reimbursement Obligations.  After all such Letters of
Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all
Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied, and all
other Obligations shall have been paid in full, the balance, if
any, in such Letter of Credit Reserve Account shall be returned
to the Co-Borrowers.  Except as expressly provided hereinabove,
presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind
are hereby expressly waived by each Co-Borrower.

                  (e)   The rights and remedies of the Agent and
the Banks hereunder shall be cumulative, and not exclusive.

                           ----------

                            The Agent
                            ---------

          Section 9.1   APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORIZATION.  Each Bank
hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Agent
to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this
Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such
powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it
by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere
in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Agent shall
not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly
set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Bank,
and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,

                              85<PAGE>
obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agent.

          Section 9.2   DELEGATION OF DUTIES.  The Agent may
execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and
shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters
pertaining to such duties.  The Agent shall not be responsible
for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact
that has been selected with reasonable care.

          Section 9.3   LIABILITY OF AGENT.  Neither the Agent,
nor any of its Affiliates, nor any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, or attorneys-in-fact (collectively,
the "Agent-Related Persons") shall (a) be liable for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in
connection with this Agreement (except for their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-
appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction) or (b) be
responsible in any manner to any of the Banks for any recital,
statement, representation or warranty made by the Co-Borrowers or
any Subsidiary of Housecall or any officer thereof contained in
this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any
certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or
provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in connection
with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the value
of any Collateral or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or for any failure of any Co-Borrower or any other
party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder
or thereunder.  No Agent-Related Person shall be under any
obligation to any Bank to ascertain or to inquire as to the
observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in,
or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or
to inspect the properties, books or records of Housecall or any
of its Subsidiaries.

          Section 9.4  RELIANCE BY AGENT.

                  (a)   The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and
shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing,
resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter,
facsimile or telephone message, statement or other document or
conversation believed by the Agent to be genuine and correct and
to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons
and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including
counsel to Housecall or any of its Subsidiaries), independent
accountants and other experts selected by the Agent.  The Agent
shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless the
Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the
Majority Banks as the Agent shall deem appropriate and, if the
Agent so requests, the Agent shall first be indemnified to its

                               86<PAGE>
satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and
expense which may be incurred by the Agent by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action.  The Agent shall in all cases
be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a
request or consent of the Majority Banks (or all of the Banks, as
may be expressly required by SECTION 10.3 hereof) and such
request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto
shall be binding upon all of the Banks.

                  (b)   For purposes of determining compliance
with the conditions specified in SECTIONs 4.1 and 4.2 hereof,
each Bank shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or
accepted or to be satisfied with each document or other matter
required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or
acceptable or satisfactory to the Majority Banks unless an
officer of the Agent responsible for the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents shall have received notice
from a Bank prior to the extension of a Loan specifying its
objection thereto and either such objection shall not have been
withdrawn by notice to the Agent to that effect or such Bank
shall not have made available to the Agent the Bank's ratable
portion of such Loan.

          Section 9.5   NOTICE OF DEFAULT. The Agent shall not be
deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any
Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in
the payment of principal, interest and fees payable to the Agent
for the account of the Banks or the Issuing Bank, unless the
Agent shall have received written notice from a Bank or the
Issuing Bank or a Co-Borrower referring to this Agreement,
describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such
notice is a "notice of default".  In the event that the Agent
receives such a notice, the Agent shall give notice thereof to
the Banks. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as shall be requested by the Majority
Banks in accordance with Article 8; provided, however, that
unless and until the Agent shall have received any such request,
the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action,
or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default
or Event of Default as the Agent shall deem advisable in the best
interests of the Banks.

          Section 9.6   CREDIT DECISION.  Each Bank expressly
acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any
representation or warranty to it and that no act by the Agent
hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of
Housecall and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by the Agent to any Bank. Each Bank
represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Agent and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal
of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations,

                            87<PAGE>
property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of
Housecall and its Subsidiaries and made its own decision to enter
into this Agreement and extend credit to the Co-Borrowers
hereunder.  Each Bank also represents that it will, independently
and without reliance upon the Agent and based on such documents
and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and
decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it
deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects,
operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of Housecall and its Subsidiaries.  Except for
notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be
furnished to the Banks by the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall
not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any
credit or other information concerning the business, prospects,
operations, property, financial and other condition or
creditworthiness of Housecall and its Subsidiaries which may come
into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

          Section 9.7   INDEMNIFICATION.  The Banks agree to
indemnify the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed
by or on behalf of the Co-Borrowers and without limiting the
obligation of the Co-Borrowers to do so), ratably according to
the respective amounts of their outstanding Loans, or, if no
Loans are outstanding, their outstanding Commitment Percentages,
from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses
and disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time
(including at any time following the repayment of the Loans) be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such person any
way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any document
contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken
or omitted by any such person under or in connection with any of
the foregoing; provided, however, that no Bank shall be liable
for the payment to the Agent-Related Persons of any portion of
such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
resulting solely from such person's gross negligence or willful
misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable order of a
court of competent jurisdiction.  Without limitation of the
foregoing, each Bank shall reimburse the Agent promptly upon
demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket
expenses (including attorneys' fees and the allocated cost of
in-house counsel) incurred by the Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification,
amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal
proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of
rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan
Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein
to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses
by or on behalf of the Co-Borrowers.

                               88<PAGE>
          Section 9.8   AGENT IN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY.  The Agent
and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for
the account of, accept deposits from and generally engage in any
kind of business with Housecall or any of its Subsidiaries as
though the Agent were not the Agent hereunder and without notice
to the Banks. With respect to its Loans, the Agent shall have the
same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and
may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the
terms "Bank" and "Banks" shall include the Agent in its
individual capacity.

          Section 9.9   SUCCESSOR AGENT.  Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided
below, the Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Banks and each Co-Borrower.  Upon any such
resignation, the Majority Banks shall have the right to appoint a
successor Agent.  If no successor Agent shall have been so
appointed by the Majority Banks, and shall have accepted such
appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent's
giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on
behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent which shall be any
ank or a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United
States of America or any political subdivision thereof which has
combined capital and reserves in excess of $250,000,000.  Upon
the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a
successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to
and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges,
duties, and obligations of the retiring Agent, and the retiring
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder.  After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as
Agent, the provisions of this Article 9 and SECTIONS  10.7, 10.8
and 10.9 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
acting as the Agent.

          Section 9.10  AGENT MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.  The
Agent may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents
as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent, its agents,
financial advisors and counsel), the Banks and the Issuing Bank
allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to any Co-Borrower,
any Material Subsidiary or any of their respective creditors or
property, and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive
and distribute any monies, securities or other property payable
or deliverable on any such claims, and any custodian in any such
judicial proceedings is hereby authorized by each Bank and
Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event
that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Banks and the Issuing Bank, to pay to the Agent
any amount due to the Agent for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent, its agents,

                               89<PAGE>
financial advisors and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Agent under SECTION 10.7 hereof.  Nothing contained in the Loan
Agreement or the Loan Documents shall be deemed to authorize the
Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of
any Bank or the Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes, the
Letters of Credit or the rights of any holder thereof, or to
authorize the Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Bank
or Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.

          Section 9.11  COLLATERAL.  The Agent is hereby
authorized to hold all Collateral pledged pursuant to any Loan
Document and to act on behalf of the Banks and the Issuing Bank,
in its own capacity and through other agents appointed by it,
under the Security Documents; provided, that the Agent shall not
agree to the release of any Collateral except in accordance with
the terms hereof.

          Section 9.12 RELEASE OF COLLATERAL.

       (a)        Each Bank hereby directs, in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, the Agent to release or to
subordinate any Lien held by the Agent for the benefit of the
Banks and the Issuing Bank: 

                     (i)    against all of the
                  Collateral, upon final and
                  indefeasible payment in full of the
                  Obligations and termination of this
                  Agreement;

                    (ii)    against any part of the Collateral
                  sold or disposed of by Housecall or any
                  Material Subsidiary if such sale or disposition
                  is permitted by SECTION 7.9 hereof or is
                  otherwise consented to by the Banks for such
                  release as set forth in SECTION 10.3 hereof; or

                   (iii)    against any part of the Collateral
                  constituting property in which no Co-Borrower
                  nor Material Subsidiary owned any interest at
                  the time the Lien was granted.

       (b)        Each Bank and the Issuing Bank hereby directs
the Agent to execute and deliver or file such termination and
partial release statements and do such other things as are
necessary to release Liens to be released pursuant to this
SECTION 9.12 promptly upon the effectiveness of any such release. 
Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Banks and the Issuing
Bank will confirm in writing the Agent's authority to release
particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this
SECTION 9.12.

                          Miscellaneous
                          -------------

          Section 10.1 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS AND SALE OF INTERESTS.

                  (a)   The terms and provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon, and, subject to the provisions
of this SECTION 10.1, the benefits thereof shall inure to, the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns;
provided, however, that no Co-Borrower may assign this Agreement
or any of the rights, duties or obligations of such Co-Borrower
hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the Banks.

                  (b)   Any Bank, with the written consent of
Housecall, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and
with the written consent of the Agent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, and upon three (3) Business Days' written
notice to the Agent, may at any time assign and delegate to any
Person, or, with notice to Housecall and the Agent but without
the consent of either Housecall or the Agent, may assign and
delegate to any of its Affiliates (each an "Assignee") all or any
part of the Loans or the Commitments or any other rights or
obligations of such Bank hereunder, provided, (x) the assignor
Bank shall have a Commitment Amount of not less than Five Million
Dollars ($5,000,000) upon the effectiveness of any such
assignment, and (y) unless otherwise agreed to by the Agent and
Housecall, all assignments shall be in a minimum principal amount
of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and in One Million Dollar
($1,000,000) integrals in excess thereof;  provided, however,
that the Co-Borrowers and the Agent may continue to deal solely
and directly with such Bank in connection with the interests so
assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such
assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and
related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been
given to the Co-Borrowers and the Agent by such Bank and the
Assignee; and (ii) such Bank and its Assignee shall have
delivered to the Co-Borrowers and the Agent an Assignment and
Acceptance in the form of Exhibit I (an "Assignment and
Acceptance") together with any Note or Notes subject to such
assignment; and (iii) the processing fee of Three Thousand Five
Hundred Dollars ($3,500) shall have been paid to the Agent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Bank may at any time, with
notice to Housecall and the Agent but without the consent of
either Housecall or the Agent, assign and delegate all or any
part of the Loans or the Commitments or any other rights or
obligations of such Bank hereunder to any Federal Reserve Bank as
collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating
Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, so long as such

                               91<PAGE>
assignment does not relieve such Bank from its obligations
hereunder.

                  (c)   From and after the date that the Agent
notifies the assignor Bank that it has received the executed
Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a
party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations
hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment
and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Bank
under the Loan Documents and (ii) assignor Bank shall, to the
extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned
by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its
rights and be released from its obligations under the Loan
Documents. 

                  (d)   Within five (5) Business Days after its
receipt of notice by the Agent that it has received an executed
Assignment and Acceptance, the Co-Borrowers shall execute and
deliver to the Agent new Notes evidencing such Assignee's
assigned Loans and Commitment Amount and, if the assignor Bank
has retained a portion of its Loans and its Commitment Amount,
replacement Notes in the Commitment Amount retained by the
assignor Bank (such Notes to be in exchange for, but not in
payment of, the Notes held by such Bank). Immediately upon each
Assignee's making its payment under the Assignment and
Acceptance, this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the
extent, but only to the extent necessary to reflect the addition
of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Assignor's
Commitment Amount arising therefrom.  The Commitment Amount
allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such the Commitment
Amount of the assigning Bank pro tanto.

                  (e) Any Bank may at any time sell to one or
more banks or other entities (a "Participant") participating
interests in any Loans, the Commitment Amount of that Bank or any
other interest of that Bank hereunder in a minimum amount of Five
Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and in One Million Dollar
($1,000,000) integrals in excess thereof; provided, however, that
(i) the Bank's obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) the selling Bank shall remain solely responsible
for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Co-Borrowers
and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the
selling Bank in connection with such Bank's rights and
obligations under this Agreement, and (iv) no Bank shall transfer
or grant any participating interest under which the Participant
shall have rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or
waiver with respect to this Agreement except to the extent such
amendment, consent or waiver would require unanimous consent as
described in the first proviso to SECTION 10.3 hereof.  In the
case of any such participation, the Participant shall not have
any rights under this Agreement, or any of the other Loan
Documents, and all amounts payable by the Co-Borrowers hereunder
shall be determined as if such Bank had not sold such

                              92<PAGE>
participation, except that if amounts outstanding under this
Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or
shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of
set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing
under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its
participating interest were owing directly to it as a Bank under
this Agreement.

          Section 10.2  NO IMPLIED WAIVER.  No delay or omission
to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to the Agent or
any Bank upon any breach or default of any of the Co-Borrowers
under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents
shall impair any such right, power or remedy of the Agent or any
Bank, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach
or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar
breach or default occurring thereafter, nor shall any waiver of
any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other
breach or default occurring theretofore or thereafter.

          Section 10.3  AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS.  No amendment or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document and no consent with respect to any departure by any of
the Co-Borrowers therefrom, shall be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and signed by the Co-Borrowers and the
Majority Banks, and then such waiver shall be effective only in
the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given; provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment, or
consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Banks, do
any of the following:

                  (a)   increase the Commitment Amount of any
          Bank or subject any Bank to any additional obligations;


                  (b)   postpone or delay any date (including,
          without limitation, the Maturity Date) fixed for any
          payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts
          due hereunder or under any Loan Document;

                  (c)   reduce the principal of, or the rate of
          interest specified herein on any Loan, or of any fees
          or other amounts payable hereunder or under any Loan
          Document;

                  (d)   change the definition of "Majority Banks"
          or "Super Majority Banks" or the percentage of the
          aggregate Commitment Percentages or of the aggregate
          unpaid principal amount of the Loans which shall be
          required for the Banks or any of them to take any
          action hereunder;

                  (e)   amend the definition of "Permitted
          Acquisition", SECTION 7.9, or this SECTION 10.3; or


                               93
<PAGE>
                  (f)   release any guarantor of the Obligations
          or any Collateral, unless any such release of
          Collateral is in connection with an asset sale
          permitted by SECTION 7.9 hereof or is otherwise
          permitted by SECTION 9.12 hereof;

and, provided, further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent
shall, unless in writing and signed by the Agent in addition to
the Majority Banks, affect the rights or duties of the Agent
under this Agreement, and (ii) the definition of "Majority Banks"
or the percentage of the aggregate Commitment Percentages or of
the aggregate principal amount of the Loans which shall be
required for the Banks or any of them to take any action
hereunder may be changed without the consent of the Co-Borrowers.

          Section 10.4  REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.  All rights and
remedies, either under this Agreement, by law or otherwise
afforded to the Agent or the Banks shall be cumulative and not
exclusive, and any single or partial exercise of any power or
right hereunder or thereunder does not preclude other or further
exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other power or right.

          Section 10.5  SEVERABILITY.  Any provision of this
Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall be, only
as to such jurisdiction, ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability, but all the remaining provisions
of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall
remain valid. 

          Section 10.6  SET-OFF.  In addition to any rights now
or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of
limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, the Banks and any subsequent
holder or holders of the Notes are hereby authorized by each Co-
Borrower at any time or from time to time, without notice to any
Co-Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby
expressly waived, to set-off and to appropriate and apply any and
all deposits (general or special, time or demand, including, but
not limited to, Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of
deposit, in each case whether matured or unmatured) and any other
Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Banks or such
holder to or for the credit or the account of the Co-Borrowers,
against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the
Co-Borrowers, to the Banks or such holder under this Agreement,
the Notes, and any other Loan Document, including, but not
limited to, all claims of any nature or description arising out
of or connected with this Agreement, the Notes, or any other Loan
Document, irrespective of whether or not (a) the Banks or the
holder of the Notes shall have made any demand hereunder or (b)
the Banks shall have declared the principal of and interest on
the Loans and Notes and other amounts due hereunder to be due and
payable as permitted by SECTION 8.2 and although said obligations

                               94<PAGE>
and liabilities, or any of them, shall be contingent or
unmatured.  Any sums obtained by any Bank or by any subsequent
holder of the Notes shall be subject to the application of
payments provisions of Article 2 hereof.  Upon direction by the
Agent, with the consent of the Majority Banks, each Bank holding
deposits of any Co-Borrower shall exercise its set-off rights as
so directed.

          Section 10.7  COSTS, EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS' FEES.  The
Co-Borrowers shall reimburse the Agent for all actual and
reasonable costs and expenses, including, but not limited to,
reasonable attorneys' and other professionals' fees and expenses
and appraisal, audit, review, travel, search and filing fees and
expenses, expended or incurred by the Agent in connection with
the preparation, negotiation, execution and administration of
this Agreement, in connection with the initial Advance, in
amending this Agreement, or extending any waiver or consent
hereunder, or in any transaction referred to in SECTION 10.1(b)
hereof, and shall reimburse the Agent and the Banks for all
actual and reasonable costs and expenses, including, but not
limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees (including the allocated
costs of internal counsel, if any) and expenses expended or
incurred by the Agent or any Bank in collecting any sum which
becomes due under the Notes or under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, or in the protection, perfection,
preservation and enforcement of any and all rights of the Agent
or any Bank in connection with the Loan Documents, including,
without limitation, the fees and costs incurred in any
out-of-court work-out or a bankruptcy or reorganization
proceeding.  This obligation on the part of the Co-Borrowers
shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement,
with or without occurrence of the Agreement Date.

          Section 10.8  GENERAL INDEMNIFICATION.  The
Co-Borrowers shall indemnify and hold each Bank, the Issuing
Bank, the Agent and each of their directors, officers, employees,
Affiliates, attorneys and agents (collectively referred to herein
as the "Bank Indemnitees") harmless from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of
any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, any
actual and reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees and the
allocated cost of in-house counsel) incurred by any such Bank
Indemnitee in connection with any investigation, or discovery
served upon such Bank Indemnitee, in connection with any such
matter, whether or not any such Bank Indemnitee shall be
designated a party thereto) which may be imposed on, incurred by
or asserted against such Bank Indemnitees by any Person other
than the Bank with which such Bank Indemnitee is affiliated
(whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on
any federal or state laws or other statutory regulations,
including, without limitation, securities, environmental and
commercial laws and regulations, under common law or at equitable

                               95<PAGE>
cause, or on contract or otherwise) in any manner relating to or
arising out of this Agreement, any term sheets or commitment
letters relating thereto, any other Loan Documents, or any act,
event or transaction related or attendant thereto; or to the
making of Loans hereunder, or the management of the Loans
(including any liability under federal, state or local
environmental laws or regulations), the use or intended use of
the proceeds of the Loans (collectively, the "Indemnified
Matters"); provided, however, that the Co-Borrowers shall have no
obligation to any Bank Indemnitee under this SECTION 10.8 with
respect to Indemnified Matters to the extent such Indemnified
Matters were caused by or resulted from (i) the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of a Bank Indemnitee as determined by a
final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction
or (ii) claims of Banks against other Banks or the Agent not
attributable to any act or failure to act of any Co-Borrower and
for which the Co-Borrowers otherwise have no liability hereunder. 
To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold
harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable
because it is violative of any law or public policy, the
Co-Borrowers shall contribute to the payment and satisfaction of
all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Bank Indemnitees the
maximum portion which the Co-Borrowers are permitted to pay and
satisfy under Applicable Law.  This indemnification shall survive
repayment by the Co-Borrowers of all Loans made under this
Agreement and the termination of this Agreement.

          Section 10.9  ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNIFICATION.  The
Co-Borrowers hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
each Bank Indemnitee, from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, claims, costs, charges, expenses or disbursements
(including attorneys' fees and the allocated cost of in-house
counsel), which may be incurred by or asserted against such Bank
Indemnitee in connection with or arising out of any pending or
threatened investigation, litigation or proceeding, or any action
taken by any Person, with respect to any Environmental Claim
arising out of or related to any property of Housecall or any of
its Subsidiaries subject to a mortgage in favor of the Agent or
any Bank.  No action taken by legal counsel chosen by the Agent
or any Bank in defending against any such investigation,
litigation or proceeding or requested remedial, removal or
response action shall vitiate or any way impair the Co-Borrowers'
obligations and duties hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless
the Agent and each Bank.  In no event shall site visit,
observation, or testing by the Agent or any Bank be a
representation that Hazardous Materials are or are not present
in, on, or under the site, or that there has been or shall be
compliance with any law, regulation, or ordinance pertaining to
Hazardous Materials or any other applicable governmental law. 
Neither the Co-Borrowers nor any other party is entitled to rely
on any site visit, observation, or testing by the Agent or any
Bank.  Neither the Agent nor any Bank owes any duty of care to

                               96<PAGE>
protect any Co-Borrower or any other party against, or to inform
any Co-Borrower or any other party of, any Hazardous Materials or
any other adverse condition affecting any site or property. 
Neither the Agent nor any Bank shall be obligated to disclose to
any Co-Borrower or any other party any report or findings made as
a result of, or in connection with, any site visit, observation,
or testing by the Agent or any Bank.  This indemnification shall
survive repayment of all Loans made under this Agreement and
termination of the Commitments, and the termination of this
Agreement.

          Section 10.10     NOTICES.  Any notice which the
Co-Borrowers, the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any of the Banks may

Agreement, together with the exhibits to this Agreement and all
of the other Loan Documents, is intended by the Co-Borrowers, the
Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Banks as a final expression of
their agreement and, together with all of the other Loan
Documents, is intended as a complete statement of the terms and
conditions of their agreement.  This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents contain all of the agreements and understandings
between or among the Co-Borrowers, the Agent, the Issuing Bank
and the Banks concerning the Loans and the other transactions
contemplated hereby.

               Section 10.12     GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement
and the Loan Documents shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of New York, without reference

               Section 10.13     REPLACEMENT OF BANK.  In the
event that a Replacement Event occurs and is continuing with
respect to any Bank, the Co-Borrowers may designate another
financial institution (such financial institution being herein
called a "Replacement Bank") acceptable to the Agent, and which
is not any Co-Borrower nor an Affiliate of any Co-Borrower, to
assume such Bank's Commitment hereunder, to purchase the Loans
and participations of such Bank and such Bank's rights hereunder
and (if such Bank is an Issuing Bank) to issue Letters of Credit
in substitution for all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by
such Bank, without recourse to or representation or warranty by,
or expense to, such Bank for a purchase price equal to the
outstanding principal amount of the Loans payable to such Bank
plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Loans and accrued

                               98<PAGE>
but unpaid commitment fees and letter of credit fees owing to
such Bank, and upon such assumption, purchase and substitution,
and subject to the execution and delivery to the Agent by the

               Section 11.1      EURODOLLAR RATE BASIS
DETERMINATION.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein which
may be construed to the contrary, if with respect to any proposed
Eurodollar Loan for any Interest Period, the Agent determines
that deposits in dollars (in the applicable amount) are not being
offered to the Agent in the relevant market for such Interest
Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice to the Co-Borrowers
and the Banks, whereupon until the Agent notifies the Co-
Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such situation no
longer exist, the obligations of the Banks to make such types of
Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended.

               Section 11.2      ILLEGALITY.  If after the
Agreement Date any Applicable Law, rule, or regulation, or any
change therein, or any interpretation or change in interpretation
or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central
bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank with any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of
any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, shall
make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank to make, maintain, or
fund its Eurodollar Loans, such Bank shall so notify the Agent,
and the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other
Banks and the Co-Borrowers.  Upon receipt of such notice,
notwithstanding anything contained in Article 2 hereof, the Co-
Borrowers shall repay in full the then outstanding principal
amount of each affected Eurodollar Rate Loan of such Bank,
together with accrued interest thereon, either (a) on the last
day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such
Eurodollar Loan if such Bank may lawfully continue to maintain
and fund such Eurodollar Loan to such day or (b) immediately if
such Bank may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such
Eurodollar Loan to such day.  Concurrently with repaying each
affected Eurodollar Loan of such Bank, notwithstanding anything
contained in Article 2 hereof, the Co-Borrowers shall borrow a
Base Rate Loan from such Bank, and such Bank shall make such Loan

                               100<PAGE>
in an amount such that the outstanding principal amount of the
Note held by such Bank shall equal the outstanding principal
amount of such Note immediately prior to such repayment.

               Section 11.3      INCREASED COSTS.

                       (a)  If after the Agreement date any
Applicable Law, rule, or regulation, or any change therein, or
any interpretation or change in interpretation or administration
thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof or compliance by any Bank with any request
or directive (whether or not having the any such authority,
central bank, or comparable agency:

                         (i)     Shall subject any Bank to any
               tax, duty, or other charge with respect to its
               obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, or its
               Eurodollar Loans, or shall change the basis of
               taxation of payments to any Bank of the principal
               of or interest on its Eurodollar Loans or in
               respect of any other amounts due under this
               Agreement in respect of its Eurodollar Loans or
               its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans (except
               for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net
               income of such Bank imposed by the jurisdiction
               in which such Bank's principal executive office
               is located); or

                        (ii)     Shall impose, modify, or deem
               applicable any reserve (including, without
               limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors
               of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any
               included in an applicable Eurodollar Reserve
               Percentage), special deposit, capital adequacy,
               assessment, or other requirement or condition
               against assets of, deposits with or for the
               account of, or commitments or credit extended by
               any Bank, or shall impose on any Bank or the
               eurodollar interbank borrowing market any other
               condition affecting its obligation to make such
               Eurodollar Loans or its Eurodollar Loans; and the
               result of any of the foregoing is to increase the
               cost to such Bank of making or maintaining any
               such Eurodollar Loans, or to reduce the amount of
               any sum received or receivable by the Bank under
               this Agreement or under its Notes with respect
               thereto, and such increase is not given effect in
               the determination of the Eurodollar Rate then,

on the earlier of (x) 15 days after demand by such Bank or
(y) the Maturity Date, each Borrower agrees to pay to such Bank
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank
for such increased costs.  Each Bank will promptly notify the Co-
Borrowers and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge,
occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to
compensation pursuant to this SECTION 11.3.

                               101<PAGE>
                       (b)  A certificate of any Bank claiming
compensation under this SECTION 11.3 and setting forth the
additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and
calculations therefor shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error.  In determining such amount, such Bank may use
any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.  If any Bank
demands compensation under this SECTION 11.3, the Co-Borrowers
may at any time, upon at least five (5) Business Days' prior
notice to such Bank, prepay in full the then outstanding affected
Eurodollar Loans of such Bank (together with the compensation
demanded by such Bank), together with accrued interest thereon to
the date of prepayment, along with any reimbursement required
under SECTION 2.10 hereof.  Concurrently with prepaying such
Eurodollar Loans the Co-Borrowers shall borrow a Base Rate Loan,
or a Eurodollar Loan not so affected, from such Bank, and such
Bank shall make such Loan in an amount such that the outstanding
principal amount of the Notes held by such Bank shall equal the
outstanding principal amount of such Notes immediately prior to
such prepayment.

               Section 11.4      EFFECT ON OTHER LOANS.  If
notice has been given pursuant to SECTION 11.1, 11.2 or 11.3
suspending the obligation of any Bank to make any type of
Eurodollar Loan, or requiring Eurodollar Loans of any Bank to be
repaid or prepaid, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the
Co-Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such repayment
no longer apply, all Loans which would otherwise be made by such
Bank as to the type of Eurodollar Loans affected shall, at the
option of the Co-Borrowers, be made instead as Base Rate Loans.

               Section 11.5      CAPITAL ADEQUACY.  If any Bank
or Issuing Bank or any Affiliate of any Bank shall have
reasonably determined that the adoption after the Agreement Date
of any Applicable Law, governmental rule, regulation or order
regarding the capital adequacy of banks or bank holding
companies, or any change therein, or any change after the
Agreement Date in the interpretation or administration thereof by
any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by such Bank or Issuing Bank or any Affiliate of any
Bank with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such governmental
authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have
the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank's or
Issuing Bank's or any Affiliate of such Bank capital as a
consequence of such Bank's or Issuing Bank's Commitment or
obligations hereunder to a level below that which it could have
achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into
consideration such Bank's or Issuing Bank's or any Affiliate of
such Bank's policies with respect to capital adequacy immediately
before such adoption, change or compliance and assuming that such
Bank's or Issuing Bank's or any Affiliate's of such Bank, capital
was fully utilized prior to such adoption, change or compliance),

                               102<PAGE>
then, by the earlier of (x) 15 days after demand by such Bank or
Issuing Bank, or (y) the Maturity Date, the Co-Borrowers shall
immediately pay to such Bank or Issuing Bank such additional
amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Bank or Issuing
Bank for any such reduction actually suffered; provided, however,
that there shall be no duplication of amounts paid to a Bank
pursuant to this sentence and SECTION 11.3 hereof.  A certificate
of such Bank or Issuing Bank setting forth the amount to be paid
to such Bank or Issuing Bank by the Co-Borrowers as a result of
any event referred to in this paragraph shall, absent manifest
error, be conclusive.

               Section 11.6      ALTERNATE LENDING OFFICES.  Each
Bank agrees, if requested by the Co-Borrowers, it will use
reasonable efforts (subject to the overall policy considerations
of such Bank) to designate an alternate lending office with
respect to Loans affected by any of the matters or circumstances
prescribed in SECTION 2.9(b), 11.2, 11.3 or 11.5 hereof in order
to reduce the liability of the Co-Borrowers or avoid the results
provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not
disadvantageous to such Bank as determined by such Bank, which
determination, if made in good faith, shall be conclusive and
binding on all parties hereto.  Nothing in this SECTION 11.6
shall affect or postpone any of the obligation of the Co-
Borrowers hereunder or any right of any Bank hereunder.

               Section 12.1      JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF
PROCESS.  For purposes of any legal action or proceeding brought
by the Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Banks with respect to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Co-Borrower hereby
irrevocably submits to the personal jurisdiction of the federal
and state courts sitting in the state of New York and hereby
irrevocably designates and appoints, as its authorized agent for
service of process in the State of New York, CT Corporation
System, whose address is 1633 Broadway, New York, New York 10019,
or such other person as the Co-Borrowers shall designate
hereafter by written notice given to the Agent.  The consent to
jurisdiction herein shall not be exclusive.  The Agent and the
Banks shall for all purposes automatically, and without any act
on their part, be entitled to treat such designee of the Co-
Borrowers as the authorized agent to receive for and on behalf of
the Co-Borrowers service of writs, or summons or other legal
process in the State of New York, which service shall be deemed
effective personal service on each Co-Borrower served when
delivered, whether or not such agent gives notice to the Co-
Borrowers; and delivery of such service to its authorized agent
shall be deemed to be made when personally delivered or five (5)
Business Days after mailing by registered or certified mail
addressed to such authorized agent.  Each Co-Borrower further
irrevocably consents to service of process in any such action or
proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or
certified mail to the Co-Borrowers at the address set forth
above, such service to become effective five (5) Business Days
after such mailing.  In the event that, for any reason, such

                               103<PAGE>
agent or his or her successors shall no longer serve as agent of
either Co-Borrower to receive service of process in the State of
New York, such Co-Borrower shall serve and advise the Agent
thereof so that at all times the Co-Borrowers will maintain an
agent to receive service of process in the State of New York on
behalf of the Co-Borrowers with respect to this Agreement and all
other Loan Documents.  In the event that, for any reason, service
of legal process cannot be made in the manner described above,
such service may be made in such manner as permitted by law.

               Section 12.2      CONSENT TO VENUE.  Each Co-
Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objection it would make
now or hereafter for the laying of venue of any suit, action, or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document brought in the federal courts of the United
States of America sitting in New York, New York, and hereby
irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action, or
proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

               Section 12.3      WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH
BORROWER AND EACH OF THE AGENT, THE BANKS AND THE ISSUING BANK TO
THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW WAIVE, AND OTHERWISE AGREE
NOT TO REQUEST, A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY COURT AND IN ANY ACTION,
PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM OF ANY TYPE IN WHICH ANY BORROWER, ANY
OF THE BANKS, THE ISSUING BANK, THE AGENT, OR ANY OF THEIR
RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS IS A PARTY, AS TO ALL MATTERS
