to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

          NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

          SECTION 1. Defined Terms. Terms defined in the Standstill Agreement or

the Standstill Agreement or the Credit Agreement, as applicable.

          SECTION 2. Waiver and Consent. Effective as of the Effective Date (as
defined below) and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Required Standstill Lenders hereby:

          (a) waive the requirements of Cross-Referenced Covenant 8.7 in Section

          (b) temporarily waive any Standstill Event that has occurred or may

requirements of Section 8.12(a) of the Post-Petition Credit Agreement and the
resultant Event of Default (as defined in the Post-Petition Credit Agreement)
pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(i) of the Post-Petition Credit Agreement; provided
however, that the waiver granted pursuant to this clause (b) shall cease to be
in effect and the aggregate amount in such foreign accounts shall be tested as

efforts (subject to applicable legal and contractual restrictions and cash
requirements) to apply such cash and Cash Equivalents in excess of $20,000,000
to the repayment of all Foreign Intercompany Loans (as defined in the
Post-Petition Credit Agreement) pursuant to the Post-Petition Credit Agreement.

          SECTION 3. Conditions to Effectiveness. This Waiver and Consent shall

satisfied (the "Effective Date"):

          (a) Certain Documents. The Administrative Agent shall have received on
or before the Effective Date all of the following, each of which shall be in
form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:

     sufficient Standstill Lenders to constitute the Required Standstill
     Lenders, (y) each of the Standstill Parties and (z) the Administrative
     Agent; and

               (ii) such additional documentation as the Administrative Agent

shall be satisfactory in all respects in form and substance to the
Administrative Agent.

          (c) No Events of Default. After giving effect to this Waiver and
Consent, no Standstill Event shall have occurred and be continuing, and the
representations and warranties contained in the Standstill Agreement shall
be correct in all material respects as though made on and as of the
Effective Date.

each of the Standstill Parties hereby

<PAGE>

                                       3

represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and all of the Standstill
Lenders the following:

          (a) The execution, delivery and performance by each Standstill Party
of this Waiver and Consent and the Loan Documents to which it is a party, as
waived hereby, are within such Standstill Party's corporate powers, have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do not (1) contravene
such Standstill Party's Constituent Documents, (ii) violate any law (including,
without limitation, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), rule, regulation
(including, without limitation, Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System), order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree,
determination or award applicable to such Standstill Party, or (iii) conflict
with or result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, any Contractual
Obligation, including, without limitation, the bilateral loan documents, of EHE,
EHA or any of their Subsidiaries. As of the Effective Date, no Standstill Party
is in violation of any such law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment,
injunction, decree, determination or award or in breach of any such contract,
loan agreement, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease or other instrument,
the violation or breach of which is reasonably expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

          (b) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to
or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or any other third
party is required to be obtained by the Standstill Parties in connection with
the execution and delivery, or performance by any Standstill Party of any of its
obligations under the Waiver and Consent and the Standstill Agreement, as
amended or otherwise modified hereby.

          (c) The Waiver and Consent has been duly executed and delivered by
each Standstill Party, and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such
Standstill Party, enforceable against such Standstill Party in accordance with
its terms except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws relating to or limiting creditors' rights or by
equitable principles generally.

          (d) No Standstill Party has an existing claim against any Standstill
Lender arising out of, relating to or in connection with the Loan Documents.

          (e) As of the Effective Date, EHE is not in breach of, or in default
under, the DM Agreement, and no Foreign Subsidiary is in breach of, or in
default under, any other Contractual Obligation, binding on or affecting any
Foreign Subsidiary or any of their properties, where the consequence of such
default is to confer rights upon any person against such Foreign Subsidiary
which, if exercised, can be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

          (f) The representations and warranties made by each of the Standstill
Parties in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on
and as of the date hereof, after giving effect to the effectiveness of this
Waiver and Consent, as if made on and as of the date hereof.

          (g) Each Standstill Party hereby represents and warrants to the
Standstill Lenders and the Administrative Agent that as of the date hereof, and
after giving effect to the waiver contained herein, (a) no Standstill Event
under the Standstill Agreement shall have occurred and

<PAGE>

                                       4

be continuing and (b) all of the representations and warranties of such
Standstill Party contained in Section 12 of the Standstill Agreement and in any
other Loan Document are, as of the date of execution hereof, true and correct in
all material respects, as though made on and as of such date (other than
representations and warranties in any such Loan Document expressly limited to a
specific date).

          SECTION 5. Reference to and Effect on the Loan Documents.

          (a) On and after the Effective Date, each reference in the Standstill
Agreement to "this Agreement", "hereunder", "hereof' or words of like import
referring to the Standstill Agreement and each reference in the Credit Agreement
and other Loan Documents to "the Standstill Agreement", "thereunder", "thereof"
or words of like import referring to the Standstill Agreement, shall mean and be
a reference to the Standstill Agreement as amended and otherwise modified
hereby.

          (b) The Standstill Agreement, the Credit Agreement and each of the
other Loan Documents, except to the extent of the waivers and other
modifications specifically provided above, are and shall continue to be in full
force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed.

          (c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Waiver and
Consent shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of
any right, power or remedy of any Standstill Lender or any Agent under any of
the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan
Documents.

          (d) This Waiver and Consent is and shall be a Loan Document.

          SECTION 6. Affirmation of Loan Documents. Each Standstill Party, in
its capacity as a Guarantor or otherwise, hereby consents to the modification of
the Standstill Agreement effected hereby and hereby acknowledges and agrees that
the terms of this Waiver and Consent shall not affect in any way its Obligations
and liabilities under the Credit Agreement, including under its Guarantee, the
Standstill Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party, all of
which Obligations and liabilities shall remain in full force and effect and each
of which is hereby reaffirmed.

          SECTION 7. GOVERNING LAW. THIS WAIVER AND CONSENT AND THE RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          SECTION 8. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Standstill Parties, the
Administrative Agent and the Standstill Lenders irrevocably waives all right to
trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on
contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Waiver and
Consent or the actions of the Administrative Agent or any Standstill Lender in
the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement thereof

          SECTION 9. Execution in Counterparts. This Waiver and Consent may be
executed by one or more of the parties to this Waiver and Consent on any number
of separate

<PAGE>

                                       5

counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to
constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page
to this Waiver and Consent by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as
delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Waiver and Consent.

          SECTION 10. Costs and Expenses. EHE hereby agrees to pay, and each of
the other Foreign Subsidiary Guarantors guarantees payment (subject to the
exceptions set forth in Schedule 10.1 of the Credit Agreement) of, all
reasonable costs and expenses associated with the preparation, execution,
delivery, administration, and enforcement of this Waiver and Consent, including,
without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent's counsel
