                             PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

         The parties wish to amend the Agreement as hereinafter set forth.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the other mutual
covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

         1. Amendments. Exhibit I to the Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

         (a) The definition of "RECEIVABLE" is hereby amended and restated in
its entirety to read as follows:

                  "RECEIVABLE" means all rights to payment owed to an Originator
         (at the times it arises, and before giving effect to any transfer or
         conveyance under the Agreement) or Buyer (after giving effect to the
         transfers under the Agreement) constituting an account arising in
         connection with the sale of goods or the rendering of services by such
         Originator and further includes, without limitation, the obligation to
         pay any Finance Charges with respect thereto. Indebtedness and other
         rights and obligations arising from any one transaction, including,
         without limitation, indebtedness and other rights and obligations
         represented by an individual invoice, shall constitute a Receivable
         separate from a Receivable consisting of the indebtedness and other
         rights and obligations arising from any other transaction; PROVIDED,
         HOWEVER, that the term "RECEIVABLE" shall not include any Excluded
         Receivable; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that any indebtedness, rights or
         obligations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be
         a Receivable regardless of whether the account debtor or such
         Originator treats such indebtedness, rights or obligations as a
         separate payment obligation.

         (b) The following new defined term is hereby inserted in Exhibit I in
its appropriate alphabetical order:

                  "EXCLUDED RECEIVABLE" means, unless and until each of the
         Agents otherwise consents in writing: any account or other right to
         payment arising from or in connection with the sale of goods or the
         rendering of services by (a) the "New Parks Division of Zinsser Co.,
         Inc." or (b) any other hereafter acquired division of any of the
         Originators.

         3. Representations. Each of the parties hereto hereby represents and
warrants to each of the other parties that (a) the execution and delivery by
such party of this Amendment, and the performance of its obligations hereunder,
have been duly authorized by all necessary action on its part, (b) this
Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by such party and constitutes its
legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with
its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting
creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of
whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law), and (c) as
of the date hereof, no event has occurred and is continuing that will constitute
a Termination Event or a Potential Termination Event.

         4. Condition Precedent. This Amendment will become effective as of the
date first above written upon receipt by the Agent of counterparts of this
Amendment, duly executed by each of the parties hereto and consented to by the
Agent.

         5. Miscellaneous.

         5.1. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE OF
ILLINOIS.

         5.2. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER
(WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF,
RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AMENDMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS
OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER,

         5.3. Binding Effect. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns (including any trustee in bankruptcy).

         5.4. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when
taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
