      2.2 PROCEDURE FOR BORROWING REVOLVING ADVANCES.

            (a) Borrowing Agent, on behalf of Borrowers,  may notify Agent prior
to 11:00 a.m. on a Business Day of Borrowers'  request to incur,  on that day, a
Revolving  Advance  hereunder.  Such  request  shall  indicate the amount of the
requested  Revolving Advance.  Should any amount required to be paid as interest
hereunder,  or as fees or  other  charges  under  this  Agreement  or any  other
agreement  with Agent or any Lender,  or with  respect to any other  Obligation,
become due, same shall to the extent not otherwise  paid be deemed a request for
a Revolving  Advance  bearing  interest at the rate  applicable to Domestic Rate
Loans as of the date such payment is due, in the amount  required to pay in full
such  interest,  fee,  charge or  Obligation  under this  Agreement or any other
agreement with Agent or any Lender, and such request shall be irrevocable.

            (b) In the event  that  Borrowing  Agent,  on  behalf  of  Borrowers
desires to obtain a LIBOR Rate Loan,  Borrowing  Agent shall give Agent at least
three (3) Business  Days' prior written  notice,  specifying (i) the date of the
proposed  borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount on the date
of such  LIBOR  Rate Loan to be  borrowed,  which  amount  shall be in a minimum
amount of $100,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof,  and
(iii) the duration of the first Interest Period  therefor.  Interest Periods for
LIBOR Rate Loans  shall be for one,  two,  three or six  months.  The  aggregate
amount  of LIBOR  Rate  Loans  shall  not  exceed  eighty  percent  (80%) of the
aggregate amount of outstanding  Advances at any time, and there shall not be at
any time outstanding,  more than six (6) LIBOR Rate Loans, in the aggregate.  No
LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made available to any Borrower  during the  continuance
of a Default or an Event of Default.

            (c) Each Interest  Period of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall commence on the
date such LIBOR Rate Loan is made and shall end on such date as Borrowing  Agent
may elect as set forth in (b)(iii)  above provided that the exact length of each
Interest  Period  shall be  determined  in  accordance  with the practice of the
interbank  market for offshore  Dollar deposits and no Interest Period shall end
after the last day of the Term hereof.

            (d)  Borrowing  Agent  shall  elect  the  initial   Interest  Period
applicable  to a LIBOR  Rate  Loan by its  notice  of  borrowing  given to Agent
pursuant  to  Section  2.2(b)  or by its  notice  of  conversion  given to Agent
pursuant to Section 2.2(e),  as the case may be. Borrowing Agent shall elect the
duration of each succeeding Interest Period by giving irrevocable written notice
to Agent of such  duration  not less than three (3)  Business  Days prior to the
last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan.
If Agent  does not  receive  timely  notice of the  Interest  Period  elected by
Borrowing  Agent,  any Borrower  shall be deemed to have elected to convert to a
Domestic Rate Loan subject to Section 2.2(f) herein below.


                                       19
<PAGE>


            (e)  Provided  that no Event of Default  shall have  occurred and be
continuing,  any  Borrower  may, on the last  Business  Day of the then  current
Interest  Period  applicable  to any  outstanding  LIBOR  Rate  Loan,  or on any
Business Day with respect to Domestic  Rate Loans,  convert any such loan into a
loan of another type in the same aggregate  principal  amount  provided that any
conversion  of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made only on the last  Business Day of
the then current  Interest  Period  applicable  to such LIBOR Rate Loan.  If any
Borrower  desires to convert a loan,  Borrowing  Agent shall give Agent not less
than three (3) Business  Days' prior  written  notice to convert from a Domestic
Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan or one (1) Business Day's prior written notice to
convert from a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Domestic Rate Loan,  specifying  the date of
such  conversion,  the loans to be  converted  and if the  conversion  is from a
Domestic Rate Loan to any other type of loan, the duration of the first Interest
Period therefor. After giving effect to each such conversion, there shall not be
outstanding more than six (6) LIBOR Rate Loans, in the aggregate.

            (f) Each Borrower and Guarantor  shall  indemnify  Agent and Lenders
and hold  Agent and  Lenders  harmless  from and  against  any and all losses or
expenses  that Agent and Lenders may  sustain or incur as a  consequence  of any
prepayment,  conversion  of or any default by any Borrower in the payment of the
principal  of or interest  on any LIBOR Rate Loan or failure by any  Borrower to
complete a borrowing  of, a prepayment  of or  conversion  of or to a LIBOR Rate
Loan after  notice  thereof has been given,  including,  but not limited to, any
interest payable by Agent or Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by it in order
to make or maintain  its LIBOR Rate Loans  hereunder.  A  certificate  as to any
additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Agent
or any Lender to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

            (g)  Notwithstanding  any other provision  hereof, if any applicable
law,  treaty,  regulation  or  directive,  or  any  change  therein  or  in  the
interpretation  or  application  thereof,  shall make it unlawful for any Lender
(for purposes of this subsection (g), the term "Lender" shall include any Lender
and the office or branch where any Lender or any corporation or bank controlling
such Lender  makes or  maintains  any LIBOR Rate Loans) to make or maintain  its
LIBOR Rate Loans,  the obligation of Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder,
as the case may be, shall forthwith be cancelled and Borrowing  Agent, on behalf
of  Borrowers,  shall,  if any affected  LIBOR Rate Loans are then  outstanding,
promptly upon request from Agent,  either pay all such affected LIBOR Rate Loans
or convert such  affected  LIBOR Rate Loans into loans of another  type.  If any
such payment or  conversion  of any LIBOR Rate Loan is made on a day that is not
the  last  day of the  Interest  Period  applicable  to such  LIBOR  Rate  Loan,
Borrowers shall pay Agent,  upon Agent's request,  such amount or amounts as may
be necessary to compensate Lenders for any loss or expense sustained or incurred
by Lenders  in  respect  of such LIBOR Rate Loan as a result of such  payment or
conversion, including (but not limited to) any interest or other amounts payable
by Lenders to lenders of funds  obtained by Lenders in order to make or maintain
such  LIBOR  Rate Loan.  A  certificate  as to any  additional  amounts  payable
pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lenders to Borrowing Agent shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.

      2.3 DISBURSEMENT OF ADVANCE PROCEEDS. All Advances shall be disbursed from
whichever  office  or other  place  Agent may  designate  from time to time and,
together  with any and all other  Obligations  of Borrowers to Agent or Lenders,
shall be  charged to  Borrowers'  account  on  Agent's  books.  During the Term,
Borrowers   may  use  the  Revolving   Advances  by  borrowing,   prepaying  and
reborrowing,  all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
The proceeds of each Revolving  Advance requested by Borrowers or deemed to have
been requested by Borrowers  under Section 2.2(a) hereof shall,  with respect to
requested Revolving Advances to the extent Lenders make such Revolving Advances,
be made available to the  applicable  Borrower on the day so requested by way of
credit to such  Borrower's  operating  account at The Bank of New York,  or such
other bank as Borrowing Agent may designate following  notification to Agent, in
federal funds or other immediately available funds or, with respect to Revolving
Advances deemed to have been requested by any Borrower, be disbursed to Agent to
be applied to the outstanding Obligations giving rise to such deemed request.


                                       20

      2.4 REPAYMENT OF ADVANCES.

            (a) The Advances shall be due and payable in full on the last day of
the Term subject to earlier prepayment as herein provided.

            (b) Each Borrower  recognizes that the amounts  evidenced by checks,
notes,  drafts or any other  items of payment  relating  to and/or  proceeds  of
Collateral  may  not  be   collectible  by  Agent  on  the  date  received.   In
consideration of Agent's agreement to conditionally credit Borrowers' account as
of the  Business  Day on which  Agent  receives  those  items of  payment,  each
Borrower agrees that, in computing the charges under this  Agreement,  all items
of payment shall be deemed  applied by Agent on account of the  Obligations  one
(1) Business Day after  confirmation  to Agent by the Blocked  Account  bank, as
provided for in Section  4.15(h)  hereof (the  "Collection  Period"),  that such
items of payment  have been  collected  in good funds and  finally  credited  to
Agent's account.  Agent is not, however,  required to credit Borrowers'  account
for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Agent and Agent
may charge  Borrowers'  account  for the amount of any item of payment  which is
returned to Agent unpaid.

            (c) All payments of principal,  interest and other  amounts  payable
hereunder,  or under any of the related agreements shall be made to Agent at the
Payment Office not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York Time) on the due date therefor
in lawful money of the United  States of America in federal funds or other funds
immediately available to Agent. Agent shall have the right to effectuate payment
on any and all  Obligations  due and  owing  hereunder  by  charging  Borrowers'
account or by making Advances as provided in Section 2.2 hereof.

            (d) Borrowers shall pay principal,  interest,  and all other amounts
payable  hereunder,  or  under  any  Other  Documents,   without  any  deduction
whatsoever,  including,  but not  limited  to, any  deduction  for any setoff or
counterclaim.

      2.5  REPAYMENT  OF EXCESS  ADVANCES.  The  aggregate  balance of  Advances
outstanding  at any time in excess of the maximum  amount of Advances  permitted
hereunder  shall be  immediately  due and payable  without the  necessity of any
demand, at the Payment Office,  whether or not a Default or Event of Default has
occurred.

      2.6 STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT.  Agent shall  maintain,  in accordance  with its
customary procedures,  a loan account in the name of Borrowers in which shall be
recorded  the date and amount of each  Advance  made by Lenders and the date and
amount of each payment in respect  thereof;  provided,  however,  the failure by
Agent to record the date and amount of any Advance  shall not  adversely  affect
Agent or any Lender. Each month, Agent shall send to Borrowing Agent a statement
showing the  accounting  for the  Advances  made,  payments  made or credited in
respect thereof,  and other transactions  between Lenders and Borrowers,  during
such month.  The monthly  statements  shall be deemed  correct and binding  upon
Borrowers  in the  absence of  manifest  error and shall  constitute  an account
stated among Lenders and Borrowers unless Agent receives a written  statement of
Borrowers'  specific  exceptions  thereto within forty-five (45) days after such
statement is received by Borrowing  Agent.  The records of Agent with respect to
the loan  account  shall be prima facie  evidence of the amounts of Advances and
other charges thereto and of payments applicable thereto.


                                       21
<PAGE>


      2.7 LETTERS OF CREDIT.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,  Agent
shall issue, or cause Bank to issue,  Letters of Credit ("Letters of Credit") on
behalf of any Borrower;  provided,  however,  that Agent will not be required to
issue any Letters of Credit to the extent  that the face amount of such  Letters
of Credit  would then cause the sum of (a) the  outstanding  Revolving  Advances
plus (b) the outstanding  Letters of Credit (with the requested Letter of Credit
being deemed to be outstanding  for purposes of this  calculation) to exceed the
lesser of (i) the Maximum  Revolving  Advance Amount or (ii) the Formula Amount.
Each  Letter  of Credit  shall be issued  for the  ratable  risk of each  Lender
according to its pro rata share of the Advances. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein,  the maximum amount of outstanding  Letters of Credit
shall not exceed  $1,000,000 in the aggregate at any time. All  disbursements or
payments  related to Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Revolving  Advances
and shall bear interest at the Revolving  Interest Rate with respect to Domestic
Rate  Loans;  and Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not bear
interest.

      2.8 ISSUANCE OF LETTERS OF CREDIT.

            (a)  Borrowing  Agent on behalf of  Borrowers  may request  Agent to
issue,  or cause Bank to issue, a Letter of Credit by delivering to Agent at the
Payment Office, Agent's standard form of Letter of Credit and Security Agreement
together   with   Bank's   standard   form  of  Letter  of  Credit   Application
(collectively, the "Letter of Credit Application") completed to the satisfaction
of Agent and Bank; and, such other certificates,  documents and other papers and
information as Agent and Bank may reasonably request.

            (b) Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for
the payment of sight drafts when  presented  for honor  thereunder in accordance
with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents  described  therein
and (ii) have an expiry date not later than twelve (12) months after such Letter
of  Credit's  date of  issuance  and in no event  later than the last day of the
Term.  Each  Letter of Credit  Application  and each  Letter of Credit  shall be
subject to the Uniform  Customs  and  Practice  for  Documentary  Credits  (1993
Revision),  International  Chamber of  Commerce  Publication  No.  500,  and any
amendments or revision  thereof and, to the extent not  inconsistent  therewith,
the laws of the State of New York.

      2.9 REQUIREMENTS FOR ISSUANCE OF LETTERS OF CREDIT.

            (a) In  connection  with  the  issuance  of any  Letter  of  Credit,
Borrowers  shall  indemnify,  save and hold Agent and Lenders  harmless from any
loss, cost, expense or liability,  including, without limitation,  payments made
by Agent or Lenders,  and expenses and  reasonable  attorneys'  fees incurred by
Agent and Lenders arising out of, or in connection with, any Letter of Credit to
be issued or created for any Borrower.  Borrowers  shall be bound by Agent's and
each Lender's regulations and good faith interpretations of any Letter of Credit
issued or created for its account, although this interpretation may be different
from its own, and, neither Agent, Lenders, nor any of their correspondents shall
be liable  for any error,  negligence,  or  mistakes,  whether  of  omission  or
commission,  in following  Borrowing  Agent's or any Borrower's  instructions or
those contained in any Letter of Credit or of any  modifications,  amendments or
supplements  thereto or in  issuing  or paying any Letter of Credit,  except for
Agent's, any Lender's or such correspondents' own willful misconduct.

<PAGE>


            (b) In  connection  with all Letters of Credit issued by Agent under
this Agreement,  each Borrower  hereby  appoints Agent, or its designee,  as its
attorney,  with  full  power  and  authority  (i) to sign  and/or  endorse  such
Borrower's  name  upon  any  warehouse  or  other  receipts,  letter  of  credit

name or Agent's name,  or in the name of Agent's  designee,  any order,  sale or

acts or  omissions  nor for any error of  judgment  or  mistakes of fact or law,
except for Agent's or its attorney's own willful  misconduct.  This power, being
coupled with an interest,  is irrevocable during the Term and as long thereafter
as any Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

      2.10 ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS.  Any sums expended by Agent or any Lender due to
any  Borrower's  failure to perform or comply  with its  obligations  under this
Agreement or any Other Document including,  without  limitation,  any Borrower's
obligations  under Sections 4.2, 4.4, 4.12,  4.13,  4.14 and 6.1 hereof,  may be
charged to Borrowers' account as a Revolving Advance, shall bear interest at the
Default  Rate  applicable  to  Domestic  Rate  Loans  and  shall be added to the
Obligations.

            (a) Each borrowing of Revolving Advances shall be advanced according
to the applicable Commitment Percentages of Lenders.

            (b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by Borrowers on account
of the principal of and interest on the Revolving Advances,  shall be applied to
the  Revolving  Advances  pro  rata  according  to  the  applicable   Commitment
Percentages  of Lenders.  Except as  expressly  provided  herein,  all  payments
(including  prepayments)  to be made by any  Borrower  on account of  principal,
interest  and fees shall be made  without set off or  counterclaim  and shall be
made to Agent on behalf of the Lenders to the Payment Office, in each case on or

                                       23
<PAGE>


            (c)  (i)  Notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary  contained  in
Sections  2.11(a)  and (b)  hereof,  commencing  with  the  first  Business  Day
following  the Closing  Date,  each  borrowing  of Revolving  Advances  shall be
advanced by Agent and each payment any Borrower on account of Revolving Advances
shall be applied first to those  Revolving  Advances made by Agent. On or before
1:00 P.M.,  New York time, on each  Settlement  Date  commencing  with the first
Settlement Date following the Closing Date, Agent and Lenders shall make certain
payments as follows:  (A) if the aggregate amount of new Revolving Advances made
by Agent  during the  preceding  Week (if any) exceeds the  aggregate  amount of
repayments applied to outstanding Revolving Advances during such preceding Week,
then each  Lender  shall  provide  Agent  with  funds in an amount  equal to its
applicable  Commitment  Percentage of the difference  between (1) such Revolving
Advances and (2) such  repayments and (B) if the aggregate  amount of repayments
applied to outstanding Revolving Advances during such Week exceeds the aggregate
amount of new Revolving Advances made during such Week, then Agent shall provide
each  Lender  with  funds  in an  amount  equal  to  its  applicable  Commitment
Percentage of the difference  between (1) such repayments and (2) such Revolving
Advances.

                  (ii) Each Lender  shall be  entitled  to earn  interest at the
applicable  Contract Rate on outstanding  Advances which it has funded.  Because
the Agent on behalf of Lenders may be  advancing  and/or may be repaid  Advances
prior to the time when  Lenders  will  actually  advance  and/or be repaid  such
Advances,  interest  with  respect to Advances  shall be  allocated  by Agent in
accordance with the amount of Advances  actually  advanced by and repaid to each
Lender and the Agent and shall accrue from and  including the date such Advances
are so advanced to but  excluding  the date such  Advances are either  repaid by
Borrowers or actually  settled with the  applicable  Lender as described in this
Section.  To the extent that Agent has made any such amounts  available  and the
settlement  described  above shall not yet have occurred,  upon repayment of any
Advances  by  Borrowers,  Agent may apply such  amounts  repaid  directly to any
amounts made available by Agent pursuant to this Section.

                  (iii) Promptly  following each  Settlement  Date,  Agent shall
submit to each Lender a settlement statement for the Week immediately  preceding
such  Settlement  Date.  Such  certificate  of Agent shall be  conclusive in the
absence of manifest error.

            (d) If any Lender or any Transferee (a "benefited  Lender") shall at
any  time  receive  any  payment  of all or part of its  Advances,  or  interest
thereon,  or receive any Collateral in respect thereof  (whether  voluntarily or
involuntarily  or by set-off) in a greater  proportion  than any such payment to
and  Collateral  received by any other Lender,  if any, in respect of such other
Lender's Advances,  or interest thereon, and such greater  proportionate payment
or receipt of Collateral is not expressly  permitted  hereunder,  such benefited
Lender shall  purchase for cash from the other Lenders such portion of each such
other Lender's Advances, or shall provide such other Lender with the benefits of
any such  Collateral,  or the proceeds  thereof,  as shall be necessary to cause
such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such Collateral
or proceeds ratably with each of Lenders; provided,  however, that if all or any
portion of such excess  payment or benefits is  thereafter  recovered  from such
benefited Lender,  such purchase shall be rescinded,  and the purchase price and
benefits returned,  to the extent of such recovery,  but without interest.  Each
Lender so  purchasing  a portion of another  Lender's  Advances may exercise all
rights  of  payment  (including,  without  limitation,  rights  of set off) with
respect to such  portion as fully as if such  Lender  were the direct  holder of
such portion.


                                       24

            (e) Unless Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in
writing,  by any Lender that such  Lender  will not make the amount  which would
constitute its  applicable  Commitment  Percentage of the Advances  available to
Agent,  Agent may (but shall not be obligated  to) assume that such Lender shall
make such amount available to Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption,  make
available  to  Borrowers a  corresponding  amount.  Agent will  promptly  notify
Borrowers  of its receipt of any such  notice  from a Lender.  If such amount is
made available to Agent on a date after a Settlement Date, such Lender shall pay
to Agent on demand  an  amount  equal to the  product  of (i) the daily  average
Federal  Funds Rate  (computed  on the basis of a year of 360 days)  during such
period as quoted by Agent,  times (ii) such  amount,  times  (iii) the number of
days from and including  such  Settlement  Date to the date on which such amount
becomes immediately  available to Agent. A certificate of Agent submitted to any
Lender with  respect to any  amounts  owing  under this  paragraph  (e) shall be
conclusive, in the absence of manifest error. If such amount is not in fact made
available  to Agent by such Lender  within  three (3)  Business  Days after such
Settlement  Date,  Agent  shall be  entitled  to recover  such an  amount,  with
interest  thereon  at the rate  per  annum  then  applicable  to such  Revolving
Advances hereunder,  on demand from Borrowers;  provided,  however, that Agent's
right to such  recovery  shall  not  prejudice  or  otherwise  adversely  affect
Borrowers' rights (if any) against such Lender.

      2.12 USE OF  PROCEEDS.  Borrowers  shall apply the proceeds of Advances to
pay fees and  expenses  relating  to this  transaction,  and to provide  for its
working capital needs.

      2.13 JOINT AND SEVERAL  LIABILITY.  All Borrowers  shall be liable for all
amounts  due to Agent and  Lenders  under this  Agreement,  regardless  of which
Borrower  actually  receives the Advances or Letters of Credit  hereunder or the
amount  of such  Advances  received  or the  manner in which  Agent and  Lenders
account for such  Advances,  Letters of Credit or other  extensions of credit on
its books and  records.  The  Obligations  with  respect to  Advances  made to a
Borrower,  and the  Obligations  arising  as a result of the  joint and  several
liability of a Borrower  hereunder,  with respect to Advances  made to the other
Borrowers hereunder,  shall be separate and distinct  obligations,  but all such
Obligations  shall be primary  obligations  of all  Borrowers.  The  Obligations
arising as a result of the joint and several  liability of a Borrower  hereunder
with respect to Advances,  Letters of Credit or other  extensions of credit made
to the other Borrowers  hereunder shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
be unconditional  irrespective of (a) the validity or enforceability,  avoidance
or  subordination of the Obligations of the other Borrowers or of any promissory
note or other  document  evidencing  all or any part of the  Obligations  of the
other Borrowers,  (b) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from
the other Borrowers or any other security therefor,  or the absence of any other
action to enforce the same, (c) the waiver, consent,  extension,  forbearance or
granting of any indulgence by Agent or Lenders with respect to any provisions of
any instrument  evidencing the Obligations of the other  Borrowers,  or any part
thereof, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by the other Borrowers
and  delivered to Agent or Lenders,  (d) the failure by Agent or Lenders to take
any steps to perfect and maintain  its security  interest in, or to preserve its
rights and maintain its security or collateral for the  Obligations of the other
Borrowers,  (e) the  election of Agent or Lenders in any  proceeding  instituted
under Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended ("Bankruptcy Code"), of the
application of Section  1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy  Code, (f) the disallowance
of all or any portion of the  claim(s) of Agent or Lenders for the  repayment of
the Obligations of the other Borrowers under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code,
or (g) any other  circumstances  which  might  constitute  a legal or  equitable
discharge or defense of the other  Borrowers.  With  respect to the  Obligations
arising as a result of the joint and several  liability of a Borrower  hereunder
with respect to Advances,  Letters of Credit or other  extensions of credit made
to the other Borrowers  hereunder,  each Borrower waives,  until the Obligations
shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated,  any
right to enforce any right of  subrogation  or any remedy which Agent or Lenders
now has or may hereafter have against  Borrowers,  any endorser or any guarantor
of all or any part of the  Obligations,  and any  benefit  of,  and any right to
participate in, any security or collateral given to Agent and Lenders.  Upon any
Event of Default  and for so long as the same is  continuing,  Agent and Lenders
may proceed  directly  and at once,  without  notice,  against  any  Borrower to
collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the Obligations,  without
first proceeding against the other Borrowers or any other Person, or against any
security or collateral for the  Obligations.  Each Borrower  consents and agrees
that Agent and  Lenders  shall be under no  obligation  to marshal any assets in
favor of Borrower(s) or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

      2.14 DEFAULTING LENDER.

            (a)  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary  contained herein, in
the event any Lender (i) has refused (which refusal constitutes a breach by such
Lender of its obligations under this Agreement) to make available its portion of
any Advance or (ii)  notifies  either Agent or Borrowing  Agent that it does not
intend to make available its portion of any Advance (if the actual refusal would
constitute  a breach by such  Lender of its  obligations  under this  Agreement)
(each, a "Lender Default"),  all rights and obligations hereunder of such Lender
(a  "Defaulting  Lender")  as to which a Lender  Default is in effect and of the
other parties  hereto shall be modified to the extent of the express  provisions
of this Section 2.14 while such Lender Default remains in effect.

            (b)   Advances   shall  be  incurred  pro  rata  from  Lenders  (the
"Non-Defaulting  Lenders")  which  are not  Defaulting  Lenders  based  on their
respective Commitment Percentages, and no Commitment Percentage of any Lender or
any pro rata share of any  Advances  required to be advanced by any Lender shall
be increased as a result of such Lender Default.  Amounts received in respect of
principal  of any type of  Advances  shall be applied  to reduce the  applicable
Advances  of each  Lender pro rata  based on the  aggregate  of the  outstanding
Advances of that type of all Lenders at the time of such application;  provided,
that,  Agent  shall not be  obligated  to transfer  to a  Defaulting  Lender any
payments  received by Agent for the  Defaulting  Lender's  benefit,  nor shall a
Defaulting  Lender  be  entitled  to  the  sharing  of  any  payments  hereunder
(including any  principal,  interest or fees).  Amounts  payable to a Defaulting
Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent. Agent may hold and, in its
discretion,  relend to a Borrower  the amount of all such  payments  received or
retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender.

            (c) A Defaulting  Lender shall not be entitled to give  instructions
to Agent or to approve,  disapprove,  consent to or vote on any matters relating
to this Agreement and the Other  Documents.  All  amendments,  waivers and other
modifications  of this  Agreement  and the Other  Documents  may be made without
regard to a Defaulting  Lender and, for purposes of the  definition of "Required
Lenders", a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a Lender and not to have
Advances outstanding.


                                       26
<PAGE>


            (d) Other than as  expressly  set forth in this  Section  2.14,  the
rights and  obligations  of a Defaulting  Lender  (including  the  obligation to
indemnify Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in
this  Section  2.14 shall be deemed to release  any  Defaulting  Lender from its
obligations  under this  Agreement  and the Other  Documents,  shall  alter such
obligations,  shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender
hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which any Borrower, Agent or any Lender
may have  against  any  Defaulting  Lender  as a result of any  default  by such
Defaulting  Lender  hereunder.  The  operation  of  this  Section  shall  not be
construed  to increase or  otherwise  affect the  Commitment  of any Lender,  or
relieve  or  excuse  the  performance  by  any  Borrower  of  their  duties  and
obligations hereunder.

            (e) In the  event a  Defaulting  Lender  retroactively  cures to the
satisfaction  of Agent the breach  which  caused a Lender to become a Defaulting
Lender,  such Defaulting Lender shall no longer be a Defaulting Lender and shall
be treated as a Lender under this Agreement.

      3. INTEREST AND FEES.

      3.1 INTEREST. Interest on Advances shall be payable in arrears on the last
day of each month with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and, with respect to LIBOR
Rate Loans,  at the end of each Interest Period or, for LIBOR Rate Loans with an
Interest  Period in excess of three  months,  at the  earlier  of (a) each three
months on the  anniversary  date of the  commencement of such LIBOR Rate Loan or
(b) the end of the Interest  Period.  Interest  charges shall be computed on the
actual  principal  of  Advances  outstanding  during  the  month  (the  "Monthly
Advances") at a rate per annum equal to the applicable  Revolving Interest Rate.
Whenever,  subsequent to the date of this Agreement,  the Alternate Base Rate is
increased or  decreased,  the  Revolving  Interest Rate with respect to Domestic
Rate Loans and/or LIBOR Rate Loans shall be similarly  changed without notice or
demand  of any kind by an  amount  equal to the  amount  of such  change  in the
Alternate Base Rate during the time such change or changes remain in effect.  In
the event that the  aggregate  outstanding  amount of all  Advances  exceeds the
lesser of the Maximum  Loan Amount and the Formula  Amount for three (3) or more
Business Days in any month during the Term (such excess, an "Overadvance"),  the
average daily balance of all Advances and other amounts charged or chargeable to
Borrowers'  account for such month shall bear interest at the Overadvance  Rate.
Upon  and  after  the  occurrence  of  an  Event  of  Default,  and  during  the
continuation thereof, the Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

      3.2 LETTER OF CREDIT FEES

            (a) Borrowers  shall pay Agent (i) for the benefit of Lenders,  fees
for each Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance
of same to and including the date of  expiration  or  termination,  equal to the
average daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit multiplied by the
then current  Applicable  Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans on the outstanding  amount
thereof from time to time ("Letter of Credit Fees"),  such fees to be calculated
on the basis of a 360-day  year for the actual  number of days elapsed and to be
payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month and on the last day of
the Term and (ii) Bank's other  customary  charges  payable in  connection  with
Letters of Credit,  as in effect from time to time. Any such charge in effect at
the time of a particular  transaction  shall be the charge for that transaction,
notwithstanding any subsequent change in Bank's prevailing charges for that type
of  transaction.  All Letter of Credit Fees  payable  hereunder  shall be deemed
earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder and shall
not be subject to rebate or proration upon the termination of this Agreement for
any reason.


                                       27
<PAGE>


            (b) On  demand,  Borrowers  will  cause  cash  to be  deposited  and
maintained in an account with Agent, as cash  collateral,  in an amount equal to
outstanding  Letters of Credit, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably  authorizes
Agent, in its discretion, on such Borrower's behalf and in such Borrower's name,
to open such an account  and to make and  maintain  deposits  therein,  or in an
account  opened by such  Borrower,  in the  amounts  required to be made by such
Borrower,  out of the proceeds of Receivables or other  Collateral or out of any
other funds of such Borrower coming into Agent's  possession at any time.  Agent
will invest such cash collateral (less  applicable  reserves) in such short-term
money-market  items as to which Agent and such Borrower  mutually  agree and the
net return on such investments  shall be credited to such account and constitute
additional cash  collateral.  No Borrower may withdraw  amounts  credited to any
such account except upon payment and  performance in full of all Obligations and
termination of this Agreement.

      3.3 FACILITY  FEE. If, for any month  during the Term,  the average  daily
unpaid  balance  of the  Advances  for each day of such month does not equal the
Maximum Loan Amount,  then Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit
of Lenders, a fee at a rate equal to one-quarter of one percent (.25%) per annum
on the amount by which the Maximum Loan Amount exceeds such average daily unpaid
balance.  Such fee shall be  payable to Agent in arrears on the last day of each
month and shall not be subject to rebate or proration for any reason.

      3.4 COMPUTATION OF INTEREST AND FEES. Interest and fees hereunder shall be
computed  on the basis of a year of 360 days and for the  actual  number of days
elapsed.  If any payment to be made  hereunder  becomes due and payable on a day
other than a Business  Day, the due date  thereof  shall be extended to the next
succeeding  Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the applicable
Contract Rate during such extension.

      3.5 MAXIMUM  CHARGES.  In no event  whatsoever  shall  interest  and other
charges charged  hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under law which a
court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable
hereto.  In the event  that a court  determines  that  Agent or any  Lender  has
received  interest  and other  charges  hereunder  in excess of the highest rate
permissible  hereto,  such excess  amount  shall be first  applied to any unpaid
principal balance owed by Borrowers,  and if the then remaining excess amount is
greater than the previously  unpaid  principal  balance,  Lenders shall promptly
refund such excess amount to Borrowers and the provisions hereof shall be deemed
amended to provide for such permissible rate.

      3.6  INCREASED  COSTS.  In the event that any  applicable  law,  treaty or
governmental  regulation,  or any  change  therein or in the  interpretation  or
application  thereof,  or compliance by any Lender (for purposes of this Section
3.6, the term "Lender" shall include Agent or any Lender and any  corporation or
bank  controlling  Agent or any Lender) and the office or branch  where Agent or
any  Lender (as so  defined)  makes or  maintains  any LIBOR Rate Loans with any
request or  directive  (whether or not having the force of law) from any central
bank or other financial, monetary or other authority, shall:


                                       28
<PAGE>


            (a)  subject  Agent or any Lender to any tax of any kind  whatsoever
with  respect to this  Agreement  or change the basis of taxation of payments to
Agent or any Lender of  principal,  fees,  interest or any other amount  payable
hereunder or under any Other Documents (except for changes in the rate of tax on
the  overall net income of Agent or any Lender by the  jurisdiction  in which it
maintains its principal office);

            (b) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve,  special deposit,
assessment or similar  requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for
the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of
Agent or any Lender,  including (without limitation) pursuant to Regulation D of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or

            (c) impose on Agent or any Lender or the London interbank Eurodollar
market any other condition with respect to this Agreement, any Other Documents;

and the  result  of any of the  foregoing  is to  increase  the cost to Agent or
Lender of making,  renewing or maintaining  its Advances  hereunder by an amount
that Agent or such  Lender  deems to be  material or to reduce the amount of any
payment  (whether of principal,  interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the
Advances by an amount that Agent or such Lender deems to be material,  then,  in
any case  Borrowers  shall  promptly pay Agent or such Lender,  upon its demand,
such  additional  amount  as will  compensate  Agent  or such  Lender  for  such
additional  cost or such  reduction,  as the case may be.  Agent or such  Lender
shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to Borrowers,
and such certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

      3.7 BASIS FOR DETERMINING INTEREST RATE INADEQUATE OR UNFAIR. In the event
that Agent or any Lender shall have determined that:

            (a) Dollar  deposits  in the  relevant  amount and for the  relevant
maturity  are not  available in the London  interbank  Eurodollar  market,  with
respect to an  outstanding  LIBOR Rate Loan,  a proposed  LIBOR Rate Loan,  or a
proposed conversion of a Domestic Rate Loan;

            (b) reasonable  means do not exist for  ascertaining  the LIBOR Rate
for any Interest Period;

then Agent shall give Borrowing Agent prompt written,  telephonic or telegraphic
notice of such  determination.  If such notice is given,  (i) any such requested
LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made as a Domestic Rate Loan,  unless  Borrowing  Agent
shall  notify  Agent no later  than  10:00  a.m.  (New York  City  time) two (2)
Business Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing, that its request for
such  borrowing  shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected  type of LIBOR Rate
Loan,  (ii) any  Domestic  Rate Loan or LIBOR  Rate Loan  which was to have been
converted  to an  affected  type of LIBOR  Rate Loan  shall be  continued  as or
converted into a Domestic Rate Loan, or, if Borrowing  Agent shall notify Agent,
no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the
proposed  conversion,  shall be maintained  as an unaffected  type of LIBOR Rate
Loan,  and (iii) any  outstanding  affected  LIBOR Rate Loans shall be converted
into a Domestic  Rate Loan,  or, if the Borrowing  Agent shall notify Agent,  no
later than 10:00 a.m.  (New York City time) two (2)  Business  Days prior to the
last  Business  Day of the  then  current  Interest  Period  applicable  to such
affected LIBOR Rate Loan,  shall be converted  into an unaffected  type of LIBOR
Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period for such
affected LIBOR Rate Loans.  Until such notice has been withdrawn,  Lenders shall
have no  obligation  to make an  affected  type of LIBOR  Rate Loan or  maintain
outstanding  affected  LIBOR Rate Loans and no Borrower  shall have the right to
convert a Domestic  Rate Loan or an  unaffected  type of LIBOR Rate Loan into an
affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan.

      3.8 CAPITAL ADEQUACY.

            (a) In the event that Agent or any Lender shall have determined that
any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or
any  change  therein,  or any  change 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 Agent or any
Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.8, the term "Lender"  shall include Agent
or any Lender and any  corporation or bank  controlling  Agent or any Lender and
the  office  or  branch  where  Agent or any  Lender  (as so  defined)  makes or
maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans) with any request or directive  regarding capital
adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central
bank or comparable  agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on Agent's or any Lender's  capital as a consequence  of its  obligations
hereunder (but not as a general  regulatory  condition  generally  applicable to
lending  institutions)  to a level below that which  Agent or such Lender  could
have  achieved  but  for  such  adoption,  change  or  compliance  (taking  into
consideration  Agent's  and each  Lender's  policies  with  respect  to  capital
adequacy) by an amount deemed by Agent or any Lender to be material,  then, from
time to time,  Borrowers  shall  pay upon  demand to Agent or such  Lender  such
additional  amount or amounts as will  compensate  Agent or such Lender for such
reduction.  In determining such amount or amounts,  Agent or such Lender may use
any reasonable  averaging or attribution methods. The protection of this Section
3.8 shall be  available  to Agent and each  Lender  regardless  of any  possible
contention of invalidity or inapplicability  with respect to the applicable law,
regulation or condition.

            (b) A certificate  of Agent or such Lender setting forth such amount
or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate Agent or such Lender with respect
to Section 3.8(a) hereof when  delivered to Borrowing  Agent shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.

4.    COLLATERAL: GENERAL TERMS

      4.1 SECURITY INTEREST IN THE COLLATERAL.  To secure the prompt payment and
performance to Agent and each Lender of the  Obligations,  each Borrower  hereby
assigns,  pledges and grants to Agent for itself and the ratable benefit of each
Lender a continuing  security interest in and to all of its Collateral,  whether
now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wheresoever  located.
Each  Borrower  shall  mark  its  books  and  records  as  may be  necessary  or
appropriate to evidence, protect and perfect Agent's security interest ("Agent's
security  interest")  and shall cause its  financial  statements to reflect such
security interest.


                                       30
<PAGE>


      4.2 PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

            (a) Each Borrower  irrevocably and unconditionally  authorizes Agent
(or  its  agent)  to file at any  time  and  from  time to time  such  financing
statements  with respect to the  Collateral  naming Agent or its designee as the
secured party and Such Borrower as debtor,  as Agent may require,  and including
any other  information  with respect to Such  Borrower or otherwise  required by
part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of such jurisdiction as Agent
may  determine,  together  with any  amendment  and  continuations  with respect
thereto,  which authorization shall apply to all financing  statements filed on,
prior to or after the date hereof.  Each Borrower  hereby  ratifies and approves
all financing  statements naming Agent or its designee as secured party and Such
Borrower as debtor  with  respect to the  Collateral  (and any  amendments  with
respect to such  financing  statements)  filed by or on behalf of Agent prior to
the date hereof and ratifies and  confirms  the  authorization  of Agent to file
such  financing  statements  (and  amendments,  if any).  Each  Borrower  hereby
authorizes  Agent to adopt on behalf of such  Borrower  any symbol  required for
authenticating any electronic filing. In no event shall any Borrower at any time
file, or permit or cause to be filed,  any  correction  statement or termination
statement with respect to any financing  statement (or amendment or continuation
with respect thereto) naming Agent or its designee as secured party and any such
Borrower as debtor.

            (b) Each Borrower does not have any chattel paper (whether  tangible
or  electronic)  or  instruments  as of the date hereof,  except as set forth on
SCHEDULE  4.2(B) hereto.  In the event that any Borrower shall be entitled to or
shall  receive any  chattel  paper or  instrument  after the date  hereof,  such
Borrower  shall  promptly  notify Agent  thereof in writing.  Promptly  upon the
receipt  thereof by or on behalf of a Such  Borrower  (including by any agent or
representative), such Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to Agent,
all tangible chattel paper and instruments that such Borrower or may at any time
acquire, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed
in blank as Agent may from time to time  specify,  in each case  except as Agent
may otherwise agree. At Agent's option, such Borrower shall, or Agent may at any
time on behalf of Such  Borrower,  cause the original of any such  instrument or
chattel  paper to be  conspicuously  marked in a form and manner  acceptable  to
Agent with the following  legend  referring to chattel paper or  instruments  as
applicable:  "This  [chattel  paper][instrument]  is  subject  to  the  security
interest  of GMAC  COMMERCIAL  FINANCE  LLC, as Agent,  and any sale,  transfer,
assignment  or  encumbrance  of this  [chattel  paper][instrument]  violates the
rights of such secured party."

            (c) In the event that any Borrower shall at any time hold or acquire
an interest in any  electronic  chattel paper or any  "transferable  record" (as
such term is defined in Section  201 of the  Federal  Electronic  Signatures  in
Global and  National  Commerce  Act or in Section 16 of the  Uniform  Electronic
Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction), such Borrower shall
promptly notify Agent thereof in writing.  Promptly upon Agent's  request,  such
Borrower shall take, or cause to be taken,  such actions as Agent may reasonably
request to give Agent  control of such  electronic  chattel  paper under Section
9-105 of the UCC and control of such  transferable  record under  Section 201 of
the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the
case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as in effect
in such jurisdiction.


                                       31
<PAGE>


            (d) No  Borrower  has any deposit  accounts  as of the date  hereof,
except as set forth on SCHEDULE 4.2(D) hereto.  No Borrower  shall,  directly or
indirectly,  after the date  hereof  open,  establish  or  maintain  any deposit
account  unless each of the following  conditions is satisfied:  (i) Agent shall
have received not less than five (5) Business  Days prior written  notice of the
intention of such Borrower to open or establish  such account which notice shall
specify in reasonable detail and specificity acceptable to Agent the name of the
account,  the owner of the  account,  the name and  address of the bank at which
such account is to be opened or  established,  the  individual at such bank with
whom such  Borrower  is dealing and the  purpose of the  account,  (ii) the bank
where such account is opened or maintained  shall be  acceptable  to Agent,  and
((iii) on or before the opening of such deposit account,  such Borrower shall as
Agent  may  specify  either  (A)  deliver  to Agent a  Deposit  Account  Control
Agreement  with respect to such deposit  account duly  authorized,  executed and
delivered by Such Borrower and the bank at which such deposit  account is opened
and  maintained or (B) arrange for Agent to become the customer of the bank with
respect to the deposit account on terms and conditions  acceptable to Agent. The
terms of this  subsection (d) shall not apply to deposit  accounts  specifically
and  exclusively  used for payroll,  payroll  taxes and other  employee wage and
benefit payments to or for the benefit of such Borrower's salaried employees.

            (e) No Borrower owns or holds, directly or indirectly,  beneficially
or as record owner or both, any investment  property,  as of the date hereof, or
have any investment  account,  securities  account,  commodity  account or other
similar account with any bank or other financial institution or other securities
intermediary  or  commodity  intermediary  as of the date  hereof,  in each case
except as set forth on SCHEDULE 4.2(E) hereto.

            (f) In the event that any Borrower  shall be entitled to or shall at

            (h) No  Borrower is the  beneficiary  or  otherwise  entitled to any
right to  payment  under any letter of credit,  banker's  acceptance  or similar
instrument as of the date hereof, except as set forth on SCHEDULE 4.2(H) hereto.
In the event that any Borrower  shall be entitled to or shall  receive any right
to payment  under any  letter of  credit,  banker's  acceptance  or any  similar
instrument,  whether as beneficiary  thereof or otherwise after the date hereof,
such Borrower  shall  promptly  notify Agent  thereof in writing.  Such Borrower
shall  immediately,  as Agent may specify,  either (i)  deliver,  or cause to be
delivered  to  Agent,  with  respect  to any such  letter  of  credit,  banker's
acceptance or similar  instrument,  the written  agreement of the issuer and any
other  nominated  person  obligated  to make  any  payment  in  respect  thereof
(including  any  confirming  or  negotiating   bank),   in  form  and  substance
satisfactory  to Agent,  consenting  to the  assignment  of the  proceeds of the
letter of credit to Agent by such  Borrower  and  agreeing to make all  payments
thereon  directly to Agent or as Agent may otherwise  direct or (ii) cause Agent
to become, at such Borrower's expense, the transferee  beneficiary of the letter
of credit, banker's acceptance or similar instrument (as the case may be).

            (i) No Borrower  has  commercial  tort claims as of the date hereof,
except as set forth on SCHEDULE  4.2(I)  hereto.  In the event that any Borrower
shall at any time after the date hereof have any  commercial  tort claims,  such
Borrower shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing,  which notice shall (i)
set forth in reasonable  detail the basis for and nature of such commercial tort
claim and (ii) include the express grant by such Borrower to Agent of a security
interest in such commercial tort claim (and the proceeds thereof).  In the event
that such notice does not include such grant of a security interest, the sending
thereof by such  Borrower to Agent shall be deemed to  constitute  such grant to
Agent.  Upon the sending of such notice,  any  commercial  tort claim  described
therein shall  constitute  part of the Collateral  and shall be deemed  included
therein.  Without limiting the authorization of Agent provided in Section 4.2(a)
hereof or otherwise  arising by the execution by such Borrower of this Agreement
or any of the Other Documents,  Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized from time
to time and at any time to file such  financing  statements  naming Agent or its
designee as secured party and such Borrower as debtor,  or any amendments to any
financing statements,  covering any such commercial tort claim as Collateral. In
addition,  such  Borrower  shall  promptly  upon  Agent's  request,  execute and
deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered,  to Agent such other agreements,
documents  and  instruments  as  Agent  may  require  in  connection  with  such
commercial tort claim.

            (j)  No  Borrower  has  any  goods,  documents  of  title  or  other
Collateral in the custody, control or possession of a third party as of the date
hereof,  except as set forth on  SCHEDULE  4.2(J)  hereto,  and except for goods
located in the United States in transit to a location of such Borrower permitted
herein in the ordinary  course of business of such Borrower in the possession of
the carrier  transporting such goods. In the event that any goods,  documents of
the  title or other  Collateral  are at any time  after  the date  hereof in the
custody,  control or  possession of any other person not referred to on SCHEDULE
4.2(J)  hereto or such  carriers,  such  Borrower  shall  promptly  notify Agent
thereof in writing.  Promptly upon Agent's request,  such Borrower shall deliver
to Agent a Collateral  Access Agreement duly authorized,  executed and delivered
by such person and such Borrower.

            (k) Each Borrower shall take any other actions reasonably  requested
by Agent  from  time to time to  cause  the  attachment,  perfection  and  first
priority of, and the ability of Agent to enforce, the security interest of Agent
in any and all of the Collateral,  including, without limitation, (i) executing,
delivering and, where  appropriate,  filing financing  statements and amendments
relating thereto under the UCC or other  applicable law, to the extent,  if any,
that such  Borrower's  signature  thereon is  required  therefor,  (ii)  causing
Agent's  name to be noted as  secured  party on any  certificate  of title for a
titled  good if such  notation  is a  condition  to  attachment,  perfection  or
priority of, or ability of Agent to enforce,  the security  interest of Agent in
such Collateral,  (iii) complying with any provision of any statute,  regulation
or treaty of the United  States as to any  Collateral  if  compliance  with such
provision is a condition to attachment, perfection or priority of, or ability of
Agent to enforce,  the security  interest of Agent in such Collateral,  and (iv)
obtaining  the consents and  approvals  of any  Governmental  Authority or third
party,  including,  without limitation,  any consent of any licensor,  lessor or
other person  obligated on  Collateral,  and taking all actions  required by any
earlier  versions  of the UCC or by other law,  as  applicable  in any  relevant
jurisdiction.

      4.3  DISPOSITION OF  COLLATERAL.  Each Borrower will safeguard and protect
all  Collateral  for Agent's  general  account and make no  disposition  thereof
whether by sale,  lease or  otherwise  except (a) the sale of  Inventory  in the
ordinary  course of business and (b) the disposition or transfer of obsolete and
worn-out  Equipment  in the ordinary  course of business  during any fiscal year
having an aggregate  fair market value of not more than $250,000 and only to the
extent  that (i) the  proceeds  of any  such  disposition  are  used to  acquire
replacement  Equipment  which is  subject  to Agent's  first  priority  security
interest  or (ii) the  proceeds  of which are  remitted to Agent as a payment in
respect of the Advances.

      4.4 PRESERVATION OF COLLATERAL. In addition to the rights and remedies set
forth in  Section  11.1  hereof,  Agent:  (a) may at any time take such steps as
Agent deems  necessary to protect Agent's  security  interest in and to preserve
the  Collateral,  including the hiring of such security guards or the placing of
other security protection measures as Agent may deem appropriate; (b) may employ
and  maintain  at any  Borrower's  premises  a  custodian  who  shall  have full
authority to do all acts necessary to protect Agent's security  interests in the
Collateral;  (c) may lease  warehouse  facilities to which Agent may move all or
part of the  Collateral;  (d) may use any  Borrower's  owned  or  leased  lifts,
hoists,  trucks and other  facilities  or equipment for handling or removing the
Collateral;  and (e) shall have, and is hereby  granted,  a right of ingress and
egress to the places where the  Collateral is located,  and may proceed over and
through any Borrower's owned or leased  property.  Each Borrower shall cooperate
fully with all of Agent's  efforts to preserve the Collateral and will take such
actions to preserve the Collateral as Agent may direct.  All of Agent's expenses
of preserving the Collateral,  including any expenses relating to the bonding of
a custodian,  shall be charged to Borrowers'  account as a Revolving Advance and
added to the Obligations.

      4.5 OWNERSHIP OF COLLATERAL.  With respect to the Collateral,  at the time
the Collateral becomes subject to Agent's security  interest:  (a) each Borrower
shall be the sole  owner of and  fully  authorized  and able to sell,  transfer,
pledge and/or grant a first priority security interest in each and every item of
its respective  Collateral to Agent; and, except for Permitted  Encumbrances the
Collateral shall be free and clear of all Liens and encumbrances whatsoever; (b)
each document and  agreement  executed by each Borrower or delivered to Agent or
any Lender in connection  with this  Agreement  shall be true and correct in all
material  respects;  (c) all signatures and  endorsements  of each Borrower that
appear on such documents and agreements shall be genuine and each Borrower shall
have full  capacity  to execute  same;  and (d) each  Borrower's  Equipment  and
Inventory shall be located as set forth on SCHEDULE 4.5 and shall not be removed
from such  location(s)  without the prior  written  consent of Agent except with
respect to the sale of Inventory in the ordinary course of business and the sale
or disposition of Equipment to the extent permitted in Section 4.3 hereof.

      4.6  DEFENSE OF AGENT'S  AND  LENDER'S  INTERESTS.  Until (a)  payment and
performance  in  full of all of the  Obligations  and  (b)  termination  of this
Agreement,  Agent's security  interests in the Collateral shall continue in full
force and effect.  During such period no Borrower  shall,  without Agent's prior
written  consent,  pledge,  sell (except  Inventory  in the  ordinary  course of
business and Equipment to the extent  permitted in Section 4.3 hereof),  assign,
transfer,  create or suffer to exist a Lien upon or  encumber or allow or suffer
to be encumbered in any way except for Permitted  Encumbrances,  any part of the
Collateral.  Each  Borrower  shall  defend  Agent's  security  interests  in the
Collateral against any and all Persons whatsoever.  At any time following demand
by Agent for  payment  of all  Obligations,  Agent  shall have the right to take
possession  of the  indicia of the  Collateral  and the  Collateral  in whatever
physical form  contained,  including  without  limitation:  labels,  stationery,
documents,  instruments and advertising materials. If Agent exercises this right
to take possession of the Collateral,  Borrowers shall, upon demand, assemble it
in the best manner possible and make it available to Agent at a place reasonably
convenient  to Agent.  In addition,  with respect to all  Collateral,  Agent and
Lenders shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies set forth herein and
further  provided by the Uniform  Commercial Code or other  applicable law. Each
Borrower shall, and Agent may, at its option, instruct all suppliers,  carriers,
forwarders,  warehouses or others receiving or holding cash, checks,  Inventory,
documents  or  instruments  in which Agent holds a security  interest to deliver
same to Agent  and/or  subject to Agent's  order and if they shall come into any
Borrower's possession, they, and each of them, shall be held by such Borrower in
trust as Agent's  trustee,  and such Borrower will  immediately  deliver them to
Agent in their original form together with any necessary endorsement.

      4.7 BOOKS AND RECORDS. Each Borrower shall (a) keep proper books of record
and account in which full, true and correct entries will be made of all dealings
or transactions of or in relation to its business and affairs; (b) set up on its
books  accruals  with  respect to all taxes,  assessments,  charges,  levies and
claims;  and (c) on a  reasonably  current  basis set up on its books,  from its
earnings, allowances against doubtful Receivables,  advances and investments and
all  other  proper  accruals  (including,   without  limitation,  by  reason  of
enumeration,  accruals  for  premiums,  if any,  due on  required  payments  and
accruals for depreciation,  obsolescence, or amortization of properties),  which
should be set aside from such  earnings in  connection  with its  business.  All
determinations  pursuant to this subsection shall be made in accordance with, or
as required by, GAAP consistently applied in the opinion of the Accountants,  as
shall then be regularly engaged by Borrowers.

      4.8 FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.  Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and
directs all  accountants  and  auditors  employed  by such  Borrower at any time
during the Term to exhibit and deliver to Agent and each Lender copies of any of
the Borrower's financial statements,  trial balances or other accounting records
of any sort in the  accountant's  or  auditor's  possession,  and to disclose to
Agent and each Lender any information  such accountants may have concerning such
Borrower's  financial  status and  business  operations.  Each  Borrower  hereby
authorizes all federal,  state and municipal authorities to furnish to Agent and
each Lender copies of reports or examinations relating to such Borrower, whether
made by such Borrower or otherwise;  however, Agent and each Lender will attempt
to obtain such  information  or materials  directly from such Borrower  prior to
obtaining  such   information  or  materials  from  such   accountants  or  such
authorities.


                                       35
<PAGE>


      4.9  COMPLIANCE  WITH LAWS.  Each  Borrower  shall  comply in all material
respects  with all acts,  rules,  regulations  and  orders  of any  legislative,
administrative  or  judicial  body  or  official  applicable  to its  respective
Collateral or any part thereof or to the operation of such  Borrower's  business
the  non-compliance  with  which  could  have a Material  Adverse  Effect.  Each
Borrower may, however, contest or dispute any acts, rules,  regulations,  orders
and directions of those bodies or officials in any reasonable  manner,  provided
that any  related  Lien is  inchoate  or  stayed  and  sufficient  reserves  are
established to the reasonable  satisfaction  of Agent to protect Agent's Lien on
or security  interest in the  Collateral.  The  Collateral at all times shall be
maintained in accordance with the  requirements of all insurance  carriers which
provide  insurance with respect to the  Collateral so that such insurance  shall
remain in full force and effect.

      4.10 INSPECTION OF PREMISES. At all reasonable times Agent and each Lender
shall  have  full  access to and the right to  audit,  check,  inspect  and make
abstracts and copies from each Borrower's books, records, audits, correspondence
and all other  papers  relating  to the  Collateral  and the  operation  of each
Borrower's  business.  Agent,  any  Lender  and their  agents may enter upon any
Borrower's  premises  at any  time  during  business  hours  and  at  any  other
reasonable  time,  and from time to time,  for the  purpose  of  inspecting  the
Collateral and any and all records  pertaining thereto and the operation of such
Borrower's  business.  Without in any way limiting the foregoing,  so long as no
Default  exists,  Agent and Lenders  will  provide a Borrower  with two (2) days
prior notice before entering such Borrower's premises for the purposes set forth
in this Section 4.10.

      4.11 INSURANCE.  Each Borrower shall bear the full risk of any loss of any
nature  whatsoever with respect to the  Collateral.  At each Borrower's own cost
and expense in amounts and with  carriers  acceptable  to Agent,  each  Borrower
shall  (a)  keep all its  insurable  properties  and  properties  in which  such
Borrower has an interest insured against the hazards of fire,  flood,  sprinkler
leakage,  those hazards  covered by extended  coverage  insurance and such other
hazards,  and for such amounts, as is customary in the case of companies engaged
in businesses similar to such Borrower's including, without limitation, business
interruption  insurance;  (b) maintain a bond in such amounts as is customary in
the case of companies  engaged in businesses  similar to such Borrower  insuring
against larceny,  embezzlement or other criminal  misappropriation  of insured's
officers and  employees who may either singly or jointly with others at any time
have access to the assets or funds of such Borrower  either  directly or through
authority to draw upon such funds or to direct generally the disposition of such
assets;  (c) maintain public and product liability  insurance against claims for
personal injury,  death or property damage suffered by others;  (d) maintain all
such worker's  compensation  or similar  insurance as may be required  under the
laws of any state or jurisdiction in which Borrower is engaged in business;  and
(e)  furnish  Agent  with  (i)  copies  of  all  policies  and  evidence  of the
maintenance  of such  policies by the renewal  thereof at least thirty (30) days
before any expiration date, and (ii)  appropriate  loss payable  endorsements in
form and substance  satisfactory to Agent, naming Agent as a co-insured and loss
payee as its  interests  may  appear  with  respect  to all  insurance  coverage
referred  to in CLAUSES  (A),  (C) AND (E)  above,  and  providing  (A) that all
proceeds  thereunder  shall be payable to Agent,  (B) no such insurance shall be
affected by any act or neglect of the insured or owner of the property described
in such  policy,  and (C) that such policy and loss  payable  clauses may not be
cancelled, amended or terminated unless at least thirty (30) days' prior written
notice is given to  Agent.  In the event of any loss  thereunder,  the  carriers
named therein hereby are directed by Agent and the  applicable  Borrower to make
payment for such loss to Agent and not to such  Borrower and Agent  jointly.  If
any insurance losses are paid by check, draft or other instrument payable to any
Borrower and Agent jointly,  Agent may endorse such  Borrower's name thereon and
do such  other  things as Agent may deem  advisable  to reduce the same to cash.
Agent is hereby authorized to adjust and compromise claims in excess of $250,000
under insurance coverage referred to in CLAUSES (A), (B) AND (E) above. All loss
recoveries  received  by Agent  upon any such  insurance  may be  applied to the
Obligations,  in such order as Agent in its sole discretion shall determine. Any
surplus  shall be paid by Agent to  Borrowers  or  applied  as may be  otherwise
required by law. Any deficiency  thereon shall be paid by Borrowers to Agent, on
demand.


                                       36
<PAGE>


      4.12 FAILURE TO PAY INSURANCE.  If any Borrower fails to obtain  insurance
as  hereinabove  provided,  or to keep the  same in  force,  Agent,  if Agent so
elects,  may obtain such  insurance and pay the premium  therefor for Borrowers'
account,  and charge Borrowers' account therefor and such expenses so paid shall
be part of the Obligations.

      4.13  PAYMENT  OF TAXES.  Each  Borrower  will pay,  when due,  all taxes,
assessments and other Charges  lawfully levied or assessed upon such Borrower or
any of the Collateral including,  without limitation, real and personal property
taxes,  assessments and charges and all franchise,  income,  employment,  social
security  benefits,   withholding,  and  sales  taxes.  If  any  Charge  by  any
governmental authority is or may be imposed on or as a result of any transaction
between  any  Borrower,  Agent and  Lenders  which  Agent or any  Lender  may be
required to withhold or pay or if any Charges remain unpaid after the date fixed
for their payment,  or if any claim shall be made which,  in Agent's or Lenders'
opinion,  may possibly create a valid Lien on the Collateral,  Agent may without
notice to Borrowers pay the Charges and each  Borrower  hereby  indemnifies  and
holds Agent and each Lender harmless in respect thereof.  Agent will not pay any
Charges to the extent that any Borrower has contested or disputed  those Charges
in good faith,  by expeditious  protest,  administrative  or judicial  appeal or
similar  proceeding  provided  that any  related  Lien is stayed and  sufficient
reserves are  established  to the  reasonable  satisfaction  of Agent to protect
Agent's  security  interest  in or Lien on the  Collateral.  The  amount  of any
payment by Agent  under  this  Section  4.13 shall be charged to the  Borrowers'
account as a Revolving Advance and added to the Obligations and, until Borrowers
shall  furnish  Agent with an indemnity  therefor (or supply Agent with evidence
satisfactory to Agent that due provision for the payment thereof has been made),
Agent may hold without  interest any balance  standing to Borrowers'  credit and
Agent shall retain Agent's  security  interest in any and all Collateral held by
Agent.

      4.14 PAYMENT OF LEASEHOLD  OBLIGATIONS.  Each Borrower  shall at all times
pay, when and as due, its rental  obligations under all leases under which it is
a tenant, and shall otherwise comply, in all material  respects,  with all other
terms of such  leases  and keep them in full force and  effect  and,  at Agent's
request, will provide evidence of having done so.


                                       37

      4.15 ACCOUNTS.

            (a) NATURE OF ACCOUNTS.  Each of the  Accounts  shall be a bona fide
and valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred by the Customer
therein  named,  for a fixed sum as set forth in the  invoice  relating  thereto
(provided immaterial or unintentional invoice errors shall not be deemed to be a
breach  hereof) with respect to an absolute  sale or lease and delivery of goods
upon stated terms of a Borrower, or work, labor or services theretofore rendered
by a Borrower as of the date each  Receivable is created.  Same shall be due and
owing  in  accordance  with the  applicable  Borrower's  standard  terms of sale
without dispute,  setoff or counterclaim except as may be stated on the accounts
receivable schedules delivered by Borrowers to Agent.

            (b)  SOLVENCY  OF  CUSTOMERS.  Each  Customer,  to the  best of each
Borrower's knowledge,  as of the date each Receivable is created, is and will be
solvent and able to pay all  Accounts on which the Customer is obligated in full
when due or with  respect to such  Customers of any Borrower who are not solvent
such  Borrower  has set up on its books and in its  financial  records  bad debt
reserves adequate to cover such Accounts.

            (c) LOCATIONS OF BORROWER. Each Borrower's chief executive office is
located at the addresses  set forth on SCHEDULE  4.15(C)  hereto.  Until written
notice is given to Agent by  Borrowing  Agent of any  other  office at which any
Borrower  keeps its records  pertaining  to Accounts,  all such records shall be
kept at such executive office.

            (d) COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS.  Until any Borrower's authority to do so
is terminated  by Agent (which  notice Agent may give at any time  following the
occurrence  of an  Event  of  Default  or a  Default  or when  Agent in its sole
discretion  deems it to be in Lenders'  best  interest to do so),  each Borrower
will, at such  Borrower's  sole cost and expense,  but on Agent's behalf and for
Agent's account,  collect as Agent's property and in trust for Agent all amounts
received  on  Accounts,  and  shall  not  commingle  such  collections  with any
Borrower's funds or use the same except to pay Obligations. Each Borrower shall,
upon request,  deliver to Agent, the Blocked Account in original form and on the
date of receipt thereof, all checks,  drafts, notes, money orders,  acceptances,
cash and other evidences of Indebtedness.

            (e)  NOTIFICATION  OF ASSIGNMENT OF ACCOUNTS.  At any time following
the  occurrence of an Event of Default or a Default,  Agent shall have the right
to send notice of the  assignment  of, and  Agent's  security  interest  in, the
Accounts  to any and all  Customers  or any third  party  holding  or  otherwise
concerned  with any of the  Collateral.  Thereafter,  Agent  shall have the sole
right to collect the  Accounts,  take  possession  of the  Collateral,  or both.
Agent's actual collection  expenses,  including,  but not limited to, stationery
and postage, telephone and telegraph,  secretarial and clerical expenses and the
salaries of any  collection  personnel  used for  collection,  may be charged to
Borrowers' account and added to the Obligations.

            (f) POWER OF AGENT TO ACT ON BORROWERS' BEHALF. Agent shall have the
right to receive,  endorse,  assign  and/or  deliver in the name of Agent or any
Borrower  any and all checks,  drafts and other  instruments  for the payment of
money  relating to the  Accounts,  and each  Borrower  hereby  waives  notice of
presentment,  protest  and  non-payment  of any  instrument  so  endorsed.  Each
Borrower  hereby  constitutes  Agent  or  Agent's  designee  as such  Borrower's
attorney  with  power  (i) to  endorse  such  Borrower's  name  upon any  notes,
acceptances,  checks,  drafts,  money  orders or other  evidences  of payment or
Collateral;  (ii) to sign such  Borrower's name on any invoice or bill of lading
relating to any of the  Accounts,  drafts  against  Customers,  assignments  and
verifications  of  Accounts;  (iii) to send  verifications  of  Accounts  to any
Customer;  (iv) to sign such Borrower's name on all financing  statements or any
other  documents or  instruments  deemed  necessary or  appropriate  by Agent to
preserve, protect, or perfect Agent's security interest in the Collateral and to
file same; (v) to demand payment of the Accounts; (vi) to enforce payment of the
Accounts  by legal  proceedings  or  otherwise;  (vii) to  exercise  all of such
Borrower's  rights and remedies  with respect to the  collection of the Accounts
and any other Collateral;  (viii) to settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew
the Accounts; (ix) to settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought
to collect  Accounts;  (x) to prepare,  file and sign such  Borrower's name on a
proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document  against any Customer;  (xi) to
prepare, file and sign such Borrower's name on any notice of Lien, assignment or
satisfaction of Lien or similar  document in connection  with the Accounts;  and
(xii) to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement. All
acts of said  attorney or designee are hereby  ratified and  approved,  and said
attorney or designee  shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission
nor for any  error  of  judgment  or  mistake  of  fact or of law,  unless  done
maliciously or with gross (not mere)  negligence;  this power being coupled with
an  interest  is  irrevocable  during the Term and  thereafter  while any of the
Obligations remain unpaid.  Agent shall have the right at any time following the
occurrence of an Event of Default or Default, to change the address for delivery
of mail  addressed to any Borrower to such address as Agent may designate and to
receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to any Borrower and Agent agrees
to use its best  efforts to deliver to  Borrowing  Agent any mail which does not
relate, either directly or indirectly, to the Obligations or the Collateral.

            (g) NO  LIABILITY.  Neither  Agent nor any Lender  shall,  under any
circumstances  or in any event  whatsoever,  have any liability for any error or
omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment
of any of the Accounts or any instrument received in payment thereof, or for any

            (h)  ESTABLISHMENT  OF A LOCKBOX  ACCOUNT,  DOMINION  ACCOUNT.  Each
Borrower  shall  establish and  maintain,  at its expense,  blocked  accounts or
lockboxes and related blocked accounts (in either case, "Blocked Accounts"),  as
Agent may specify,  with such banks as are  acceptable  to Agent into which such
Borrower shall promptly deposit and direct its account debtors to directly remit
all payments on Receivables and all payments  constituting proceeds of Inventory
or other  Collateral  in the  identical  form in which such  payments  are made,
whether by cash, check or other manner. Each Borrower shall deliver, or cause to
be delivered to Agent, a Deposit  Account  Control  Agreement  duly  authorized,
executed and  delivered by each bank where a Blocked  Account is  maintained  as
provided  in this  Section  4.15(h)  hereof or at any time and from time to time
Agent may become  bank's  customer  with  respect to the  Blocked  Accounts  and
promptly  upon Agent's  request,  such  Borrower  shall execute and deliver such
agreements  or  documents  as Agent may require in  connection  therewith.  Each
Borrower  agrees that all payments made to such Blocked  Accounts or other funds
received  and  collected  by Agent,  whether in respect of the  Receivables,  as
proceeds of  Inventory  or other  Collateral  or  otherwise  shall be treated as
payments to Agent in respect of the Obligations  and therefore shall  constitute
the property of Agent to the extent of the then outstanding Obligations.

                  (i) Each  Borrower  shall  deposit all proceeds  from sales of
Inventory in every form,  including,  without limitation,  cash, checks,  credit
card sales drafts, credit card sales or charge slips or receipts and other forms
of daily store  receipts,  from each retail store  location of such  Borrower on
each  business day into the deposit  accounts of such  Borrower  used solely for
such  purpose  and  identified  to each  retail  store  location as set forth on
SCHEDULE  4.2(D)  hereto.  All such funds  deposited  into the separate  deposit
accounts shall be sent by ACH or by wire transfer on a daily basis and all other
proceeds of Collateral shall be sent by ACH or by wire transfer,  to the Blocked
Accounts.  Each Borrower shall irrevocably  authorize and direct in writing,  in
form and substance  satisfactory to Agent, each of the banks into which proceeds
from sales of Inventory  from each retail store location of such Borrower are at
any time deposited as provided above to send all funds deposited in such account
by ACH or by wire  transfer on a daily basis to the  Blocked  Accounts  and such
banks shall agree in writing to do so. Such  authorization  and direction  shall
not be  rescinded,  revoked or  modified  without the prior  written  consent of
Agent.

                  (ii) Each Borrower shall promptly  either cause all amounts on
deposit in its deposit accounts used by each retail store location to be sent as
provided  in Section  4.15(h)(i)  above or shall  itself  deposit or cause to be
deposited  all proceeds  from sales of  Inventory,  all amounts  payable to such
Borrower  from Credit Card  Issuers  and Credit  Card  Processors  and all other
proceeds of Collateral. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, each Borrower
shall  establish and maintain a Blocked Account into which all proceeds from the
sale of Wholesale  Inventory will be deposited and a Blocked  Account into which
all proceeds from the sale of Retail  Inventory will be deposited.  The banks at
which the Blocked  Accounts are  established  shall enter into an agreement,  in
form and substance  satisfactory to Agent,  providing that all items received or
deposited in the Blocked Accounts are the property of Agent, that the depository
bank has no lien upon, or right of setoff  against,  the Blocked  Accounts,  the
items  received for deposit  therein,  or the funds from time to time on deposit
therein  and that the  depository  bank will wire,  or  otherwise  transfer,  in
immediately  available  funds, on a daily basis, all funds received or deposited
into the Blocked  Accounts to such bank  account of Agent as Agent may from time
to time designate for such purpose  ("Payment  Account").  Each Borrower  agrees
that all amounts  deposited in such Blocked Accounts or other funds received and
collected  by Agent,  whether as proceeds of inventory  or other  Collateral  or
otherwise  shall be the property of Agent. In the event that no Event of Default
exists and is continuing and no Obligations are outstanding,  Agent agrees, upon
the written request of Borrowing  Agent, to deliver to Borrowers,  to an account
specified  in writing by  Borrowing  Agent,  any credit  balance in the  Payment
Account or any other account maintained by Agent for the Borrowers' account.

                  (iii) To the extent any Borrower may elect, at such Borrower's
option,  to use the Armored Car  Companies  to pick up and collect cash or other
proceeds of sales of Inventory from a retail store location, such Borrower shall
deliver to the Armored Car  Companies  all proceeds  from sales of Inventory and
other Collateral from such retail store location of such Borrower. Each Borrower
electing to use an Armored Car Company  shall  irrevocably  authorize and direct
the Armored Car  Companies in writing,  in form and  substance  satisfactory  to
Agent,  to remit all such  proceeds  at any time  received  by the  Armored  Car
Companies only to the deposit  account  identified on SCHEDULE 4.2(D) hereto for
such purpose and  thereafter to the Blocked  Accounts.  Such  authorization  and
direction  to the  Armored  Car  Companies  shall not be  rescinded,  revoked or
modified without the prior written consent of Agent. As of the date hereof,  the
only Armored Car Companies used by the Borrowers are Safe & Sound Armed Courier,
Inc. and Dunbar  Armored,  Inc.  Borrowers  shall not use any other  Armored Car
Companies for any purpose, except if (A) Agent shall have received not less than
ten (10) days' prior written notice of the intention of any such Borrower to use
such other Armored Car Companies,  (B) Agent shall have received an agreement in
writing  from  such  other  Armored  Car   Companies,   in  form  and  substance
satisfactory  to Agent,  acknowledging  the  security  interests of Agent in the
Collateral, waiving any security interest, lien or other claim to cash and other
items delivered by such Borrower to the Armored Car Company and agreeing to send
all cash and other items  received by them only to the Blocked  Accounts  and to
otherwise  follow the  instructions  of Agent with respect  thereto upon Agent's
request,  duly  authorized,  executed  and  delivered  by and other  Armored Car
Companies, and (C) no Event of Default shall exist or have occurred.

            (i)  ADJUSTMENTS.   No  Borrower  will,   without  Agent's  consent,
compromise  or adjust any Accounts  (or extend the time for payment  thereof) or
accept any returns of merchandise or grant any additional discounts,  allowances
or  credits  thereon  except  for  those  compromises,   adjustments,   returns,
discounts,  credits and  allowances  as have been  heretofore  customary  in the
business of such Borrower.

      4.16 INVENTORY. If applicable, all Inventory manufactured by Borrowers has
been,  and will be,  produced by Borrowers in  accordance  with the Federal Fair
Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended,  and all rules,  regulations and orders
thereunder.

      4.17  MAINTENANCE OF EQUIPMENT.  The Equipment shall be maintained in good
operating  condition  and repair  (reasonable  wear and tear  excepted)  and all
necessary  replacements  of and repairs  thereto shall be made so that the value
and operating efficiency of the Equipment shall be maintained and preserved.  No
Borrower  shall use or operate the  Equipment in violation of any law,  statute,
ordinance, code, rule or regulation.  Each Borrower shall have the right to sell
Equipment except to the extent set forth in Section 4.3 hereof.

      4.18 EXCULPATION OF LIABILITY. Nothing herein contained shall be construed
to  constitute  Agent or any  Lender as any  Borrower's  agent  for any  purpose
whatsoever,  nor shall  Agent or any  Lender be  responsible  or liable  for any
shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of the Collateral
wherever the same may be located and  regardless of the cause  thereof.  Neither
Agent  nor any  Lender,  whether  by  anything  herein or in any  assignment  or
otherwise,  assume any  Borrower's  obligations  under any contract or agreement
assigned  to Agent or such  Lender,  and neither  Agent nor any Lender  shall be
responsible  in any way for the  performance by any Borrower of any of the terms
and conditions thereof.

      4.19 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.

            (a)  Borrowers  shall  ensure  that the  Real  Property  remains  in
compliance with all Environmental  Laws and they shall not place or permit to be
placed any Hazardous Substances on any Real Property except as not prohibited by
applicable law or appropriate governmental authorities.

            (b) Borrowers shall dispose of any and all Hazardous Waste generated
at the Real Property only at  facilities  and with carriers that maintain  valid
permits under RCRA and any other applicable  Environmental Laws. Borrowers shall
use their commercially  reasonable  efforts to obtain  certificates of disposal,
such as  hazardous  waste  manifest  receipts,  from all  treatment,  transport,
storage or disposal  facilities or operators employed by Borrowers in connection
with the  transport  or disposal of any  Hazardous  Waste  generated at the Real
Property.

            (c) In the event any Borrower  obtains,  gives or receives notice of
any  Release or threat of  Release of a  reportable  quantity  of any  Hazardous
Substances at the Real Property (any such event being hereinafter referred to as
a  "Hazardous  Discharge")  or  receives  any notice of  violation,  request for
information or notification that it is potentially responsible for investigation
or cleanup of  environmental  conditions at the Real Property,  demand letter or
complaint, order, citation, or other written notice with regard to any Hazardous
Discharge or violation of Environmental  Laws affecting the Real Property or any
Borrower's  interest  therein (any of the  foregoing is referred to herein as an
"Environmental   Complaint")  from  any  Person,   including  any  state  agency
responsible in whole or in part for environmental  matters in the state in which
the Real  Property  is  located or the United  States  Environmental  Protection
Agency (any such person or entity  hereinafter the "Authority"),  then Borrowing
Agent shall, within five (5) Business Days, give written notice of same to Agent
detailing facts and  circumstances of which any Borrower is aware giving rise to
the Hazardous  Discharge or Environmental  Complaint.  Such information is to be
provided to allow Agent to protect its  security  interest in the Real  Property
and is not intended to create nor shall it create any  obligation  upon Agent or
any Lender with respect thereto.

            (d) Borrowers shall promptly  forward to Agent copies of any request
for information,  notification of potential liability, demand letter relating to
potential  responsibility  with  respect  to the  investigation  or  cleanup  of
Hazardous  Substances at any other site owned,  operated or used by any Borrower
to dispose of  Hazardous  Substances  and shall  continue  to forward  copies of
correspondence  between any Borrower and the Authority  regarding such claims to
Agent  until the claim is settled.  Borrowers  shall  promptly  forward to Agent
copies of all documents and reports concerning a Hazardous Discharge at the Real
Property  that any  Borrower is required to file under any  Environmental  Laws.
Such  information  is to be provided  solely to allow  Agent to protect  Agent's
security interest in the Real Property and the Collateral.


                                       42
<PAGE>


            (e) Borrowers shall respond  promptly to any Hazardous  Discharge or
Environmental  Complaint and take all necessary action in order to safeguard the
health of any Person and to avoid  subjecting the Collateral or Real Property to
any Lien.  If any  Borrower  shall fail to  respond  promptly  to any  Hazardous
Discharge or  Environmental  Complaint or any Borrower shall fail to comply with
any of the  requirements of any  Environmental  Laws, Agent on behalf of Lenders
may, but without the  obligation  to do so, for the sole  purpose of  protecting
Agent's  security  interest in  Collateral:  (i) give such notices or (ii) enter
onto the Real  Property  (or  authorize  third  parties  to enter  onto the Real
Property)  and take such actions as Agent (or such third  parties as directed by
Agent) deem reasonably necessary or advisable,  to clean up, remove, mitigate or
otherwise deal with any such Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint. All
reasonable  costs and  expenses  incurred  by Agent and  Lenders  (or such third
parties)  in the  exercise  of any  such  rights,  including  any  sums  paid in
connection  with any judicial or  administrative  investigation  or proceedings,
fines and  penalties,  together with interest  thereon from the date expended at
the Default Rate for Domestic Rate Loans  constituting  Revolving Advances shall
be paid upon demand by Borrowers,  and until paid shall be added to and become a
part of the  Obligations  secured  by the  Liens  created  by the  terms of this
Agreement or any other agreement between Agent, any Lender and any Borrower.

            (f) After the occurrence of a Hazardous Discharge, promptly upon the
written  request of Agent from time to time,  Borrowers  shall provide Agent, at
Borrowers' expense, with an environmental site assessment or environmental audit
report  prepared  by  an  environmental   engineering  firm  acceptable  in  the
reasonable opinion of Agent, to assess with a reasonable degree of certainty the
existence of a Hazardous  Discharge and the potential  costs in connection  with
abatement,  cleanup and removal of any Hazardous  Substances found on, under, at
or within the Real  Property.  Any  report or  investigation  of such  Hazardous
Discharge proposed and acceptable to an appropriate Authority that is charged to
oversee the clean-up of such Hazardous  Discharge  shall be acceptable to Agent.
If such estimates,  individually  or in the aggregate,  exceed  $100,000,  Agent
shall have the right to require  Borrowers  to post a bond,  letter of credit or
other security reasonably satisfactory to Agent to secure payment of these costs
and expenses.

            (g) Borrowers  shall defend and indemnify Agent and Lenders and hold
Agent, Lenders and their respective  employees,  agents,  directors and officers
harmless  from and  against all loss,  liability,  damage and  expense,  claims,
costs, fines and penalties,  including  attorney's fees, suffered or incurred by
Agent or  Lenders  under or on  account of any  Environmental  Laws,  including,
without  limitation,  the assertion of any Lien thereunder,  with respect to any
Hazardous Discharge, the presence of any Hazardous Substances affecting the Real
Property,  whether or not the same  originates or emerges from the Real Property
or any contiguous real estate,  including any loss of value of the Real Property
as a result of the foregoing except to the extent such loss,  liability,  damage
and expense is attributable to any Hazardous Discharge resulting from actions on
the part of Agent or any Lender.  Borrowers' obligations under this Section 4.19
shall arise upon the  discovery of the presence of any  Hazardous  Substances at
the Real Property,  whether or not any federal,  state,  or local  environmental
agency has taken or threatened any action in connection with the presence of any
Hazardous Substances.  Borrowers' obligation and the indemnifications  hereunder
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

            (h) For  purposes of Section 4.19 and 5.7,  all  references  to Real
Property shall be deemed to include all of Borrowers' right,  title and interest
in and to its owned and leased premises.

      11.1 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.  Upon the  occurrence of (a) an Event of Default
pursuant to Section 10.7 all  Obligations  shall be immediately  due and payable
and this  Agreement  and the  obligation  of Lenders to make  Advances  shall be
deemed  terminated;  and (b) any of the other  Events of Default and at any time
thereafter  (such default not having  previously  been cured),  at the option of
Required  Lenders  all  Obligations  shall be  immediately  due and  payable and
Lenders  shall have the right to terminate  this  Agreement and to terminate the
obligation  of Lenders to make  Advances.  Upon the  occurrence  of any Event of
Default,  Agent in its discretion  shall have the right to exercise,  or, at the
written direction of Required Lenders,  shall exercise, any and all other rights
and remedies provided for herein,  under the UCC and at law or equity generally,
including,  without  limitation,  the right to foreclose the security  interests
granted  herein and to realize upon any  Collateral  by any  available  judicial
procedure  and/or to take  possession  of and sell any or all of the  Collateral
with or without  judicial  process.  Agent may enter any Borrower's  premises or
other  premises  without  legal process and without  incurring  liability to any
Borrower therefor,  and Agent may thereupon,  or at any time thereafter,  in its
discretion without notice or demand,  take the Collateral and remove the same to
such place as Agent may deem  advisable and Agent may require  Borrowers to make
the  Collateral  available  to Lenders at a  convenient  place.  With or without
having  the  Collateral  at the  time or  place  of  sale,  Agent  may  sell the
Collateral,  or any part  thereof,  at public or  private  sale,  at any time or
place,  in one or more  sales,  at such  price or prices,  and upon such  terms,
either for cash,  credit or future  delivery,  as Agent may elect.  Except as to
that part of the Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily
in value or is of a type  customarily sold on a recognized  market,  Agent shall
give Borrowers  reasonable  notification  of such sale or sales, it being agreed
that in all events  written  notice  mailed to  Borrowers at least five (5) days
prior to such sale or sales is reasonable notification. At any public sale Agent
or any Lender may bid for and become the purchaser, and Agent, any Lender or any
other  purchaser  at any such sale  thereafter  shall hold the  Collateral  sold
absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity
of redemption and such right and equity are hereby expressly waived and released
by each  Borrower.  In connection  with the exercise of the foregoing  remedies,
Agent  is  granted  permission,   without  charge,  to  use  all  of  Borrowers'
trademarks,  trade styles, trade names, patents, patent applications,  licenses,
franchises and other  proprietary  rights which are used in connection  with (i)
Inventory for the purpose of disposing of such Inventory and (ii) Equipment. The
proceeds  realized from the sale of any Collateral  shall be applied as follows:
first,  to the  reasonable  costs,  expenses  and  attorneys'  fees and expenses
incurred by Agent and Lenders for  collection and for  acquisition,  completion,
protection,  removal,  storage, sale and delivery of the Collateral;  second, to
interest due upon any of the  Obligations;  and,  third, to the principal of the
Obligations.  If any deficiency  shall arise,  Borrowers  shall remain liable to
Agent and Lenders therefor.

<PAGE>


      11.2 AGENT'S DISCRETION. Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion
to determine which rights,  Liens,  security  interests or remedies Agent may at
any time pursue, relinquish,  subordinate, or modify or to take any other action
with respect thereto and such determination will not in any way modify or affect
any of Agent's or Lenders' rights hereunder.

      11.3 SETOFF. In addition to any other rights which Agent or any Lender may
have under applicable law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder,
Agent and each Lender shall have a right to apply any  Borrower's  property held
by Agent,  such Lender or by the Bank to reduce the  Obligations.  If any Lender
(including  Agent) shall obtain from any Borrower payment of any principal of or
interest on any Advance  owing to it or payment of any other  amount  under this
Agreement  or any of the Other  Documents  through the  exercise of any right of
setoff,  banker's lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than
from Agent as provided  herein),  and, as a result of such payment,  such Lender
shall  have  received  more  than its pro rata  share  of the  principal  of the
Advances  or more than its share of such other  amounts  then due  hereunder  or
thereunder by any Borrower to such Lender than the percentage  thereof  received
by any other Lender, it shall promptly pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders,
the amount of such excess and simultaneously  purchase from such other Lenders a
participation in the Advances or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such
other  Lenders  (or  such  interest  due  thereon,  as the  case may be) in such
amounts,  and  make  such  other  adjustments  from  time to time  as  shall  be
equitable,  to the end that all  Lenders  shall share the benefit of such excess
payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or
preserving  such excess  payment) in accordance  with their  respective pro rata
shares or as otherwise  agreed by Lenders.  To such end, all Lenders  shall make
appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participation sold or
otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.

      11.4 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES NOT EXCLUSIVE.  The  enumeration of the foregoing
rights and  remedies is not  intended to be  exhaustive  and the exercise of any
right or remedy  shall not  preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies
provided  for  herein  or  otherwise  provided  by law,  all of  which  shall be
cumulative and not alternative.

or advances made,  credit  extended,  Collateral  received or delivered,  or any
other action taken in reliance hereon,  and all other demands and notices of any

other right, remedy or option or of any default.

      12.3 JURY TRIAL  WAIVER.  EACH PARTY TO THIS  AGREEMENT  HEREBY  EXPRESSLY
WAIVES  ANY  RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY  CLAIM,  DEMAND,  ACTION  OR CAUSE OF
ACTION (a) ARISING  UNDER THIS  AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER  INSTRUMENT,  DOCUMENT OR

AGREEMENT  EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN  CONNECTION  HEREWITH,  OR THE  TRANSACTIONS
RELATED  HERETO OR  THERETO  IN EACH CASE  WHETHER  NOW  EXISTING  OR  HEREAFTER
ARISING,  AND WHETHER  SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE  AND EACH PARTY
HEREBY CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND,  ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE
DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY,  AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY
FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN
EVIDENCE OF THE  CONSENTS OF THE PARTIES  HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY.

instructions of the Required Lenders,  and such  instructions  shall be binding;
provided,  however,  that Agent shall not be  required to take any action  which
exposes  Agent to liability or which is contrary to this  Agreement or the Other
Documents or applicable  law unless Agent is furnished  with an  indemnification
reasonably satisfactory to Agent with respect thereto.

      14.2  NATURE OF DUTIES.  Agent  shall  have no duties or  responsibilities
except those  expressly  set forth in this  Agreement  and the Other  Documents.
Neither Agent nor any of its officers,  directors,  employees or agents shall be
(a)  liable for any action  taken or  omitted  by them as such  hereunder  or in
connection  herewith,  unless caused by their  willful  misconduct or gross (not
mere) negligence, or (b) responsible in any manner for any recitals, statements,
representations  or  warranties  made by any  Borrower  or any  officer  thereof
contained  in  this  Agreement,  or in  any  of the  Other  Documents  or in any
certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in,
or received by Agent under or in connection  with,  this Agreement or any of the
Other  Documents  or  for  the  value,  validity,  effectiveness,   genuineness,
enforceability  or sufficiency of this Agreement,  or any of the Other Documents
or for any failure of any Borrower to perform its obligations  hereunder.  Agent
shall not be under any obligation to any Lender 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 of the Other  Documents,  or to inspect the
properties,  books or records of any  Borrower.  The duties of Agent as respects
the Advances to Borrowers  shall be  mechanical  and  administrative  in nature;
Agent shall not have by reason of this  Agreement a  fiduciary  relationship  in
respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement,  expressed or implied,  is
intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Agent any  obligations in
respect of this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein.

      14.3 LACK OF RELIANCE ON AGENT AND RESIGNATION.

            (a)  Independently  and  without  reliance  upon  Agent or any other
Lender,  each Lender has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent
investigation  of the  financial  condition  and  affairs  of each  Borrower  in
connection with the making and the continuance of the Advances hereunder and the
taking or not  taking of any  action in  connection  herewith,  and (ii) its own
appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Borrower.  Agent shall have no duty or
responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender
with any credit or other  information with respect thereto,  whether coming into
its possession  before making of the Advances or at any time or times thereafter
except as shall be provided by any Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof.  Agent
shall  not  be  responsible   to  any  Lender  for  any  recitals,   statements,
information, representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document,
certificate  or a statement  delivered in connection  with or for the execution,
effectiveness,   genuineness,   validity,   enforceability,   collectability  or
sufficiency  of  this  Agreement  or any  Other  Document,  or of the  financial
condition of any Borrower,  or be required to make any inquiry concerning either
the  performance or observance of any of the terms,  provisions or conditions of
this Agreement,  the Other Documents or the financial condition of any Borrower,
or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default.

            (b) Agent may resign on sixty (60) days'  written  notice to each of
Lenders and Borrowing Agent and upon such resignation, the Required Lenders will
promptly designate a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to Borrowers.

            (c) Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and
duties of Agent,  and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective
upon its appointment,  and the former Agent's rights, powers and duties as Agent
shall be  terminated,  without  any other or further  act or deed on the part of
such former Agent.  After any Agent's  resignation  as Agent,  the provisions of
this Article 14 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

      14.4 CERTAIN  RIGHTS OF AGENT.  If Agent shall request  instructions  from
Lenders  with  respect  to any  act or  action  (including  failure  to  act) in
connection with this Agreement or any Other Document, Agent shall be entitled to
refrain  from such act or taking such  action  unless and until Agent shall have
received  instructions  from the  Required  Lenders;  and Agent  shall not incur
liability  to any  Person by  reason  of so  refraining.  Without  limiting  the
foregoing,  Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever  against Agent
as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with
the instructions of the Required Lenders.


                                       71
<PAGE>


      14.5  RELIANCE.  Agent  shall  be  entitled  to rely,  and  shall be fully
protected in relying,  upon any note, writing,  resolution,  notice,  statement,
certificate,  telex, teletype or telecopier message,  cablegram,  order or other
document or  telephone  message  believed by it to be genuine and correct and to
have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect
to all legal matters  pertaining to this  Agreement and the Other  Documents and
its duties  hereunder,  upon advice of counsel  selected by it. Agent may employ
agents  and  attorneys-in-fact  and  shall  not be  liable  for the  default  or
misconduct  of any such  agents  or  attorneys-in-fact  selected  by Agent  with
reasonable care.

      14.6 NOTICE OF DEFAULT.  Agent  shall not be deemed to have  knowledge  or
notice of the  occurrence of any Default or Event of Default  hereunder or under
the  Other  Documents,  unless  Agent  has  received  notice  from a Lender or a
Borrower  referring to this Agreement or the Other  Documents,  describing  such
Default  or Event of  Default  and  stating  that such  notice  is a "notice  of
default".  In the event  that Agent  receives  such a notice,  Agent  shall give
notice  thereof to Lenders.  Agent  shall take such action with  respect to such
Default or Event of  Default as shall be  reasonably  directed  by the  Required
Lenders;  provided,  that,  unless  and until  Agent  shall have  received  such
directions,  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 it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders.

      14.7   INDEMNIFICATION.   To  the  extent  Agent  is  not  reimbursed  and
indemnified  by Borrowers,  each Lender will  reimburse  and indemnify  Agent in
proportion  to its  respective  portion of the Advances  (or, if no Advances are
outstanding,  according to its Commitment Percentage),  from and against any and
all liabilities,  obligations,  losses, damages, penalties,  actions, judgments,
suits,  costs,  expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which
may be imposed on,  incurred  by or asserted  against  Agent in  performing  its
duties hereunder,  or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
any Other Loan  Document;  provided  that,  Lenders  shall not be liable for any
portion of such liabilities,  obligations,  losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments,  suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent's gross
negligence (but not mere negligence) or willful misconduct.

      14.8 AGENT IN ITS INDIVIDUAL  CAPACITY.  With respect to the obligation of
Agent to lend under this Agreement,  the Advances made by it shall have the same
rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing
the duties as Agent specified herein;  and the term "Lender" or any similar term
shall,  unless the context  clearly  otherwise  indicates,  include Agent in its
individual capacity as a Lender.  Agent may engage in business with any Borrower
as if it were not performing the duties  specified  herein,  and may accept fees
and other  consideration  from any Borrower for services in connection with this
Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

      14.9 DELIVERY OF  DOCUMENTS.  To the extent Agent  receives  documents and
information  from any Borrower  pursuant to the terms of this  Agreement,  Agent
will promptly furnish such documents and information to Lenders.

      14.10  BORROWERS'   UNDERTAKING  TO  AGENT.  Without  prejudice  to  their
respective  obligations to Lenders under the other provisions of this Agreement,
each Borrower hereby  undertakes with Agent to pay to Agent from time to time on
demand all  amounts  from time to time due and  payable by it for the account of
Agent or Lenders or any of them  pursuant  to this  Agreement  to the extent not
already  paid.  Any payment  made  pursuant  to any such demand  shall pro tanto
satisfy the relevant Borrower's  obligations to make payments for the account of
Lenders or the relevant one or more of them pursuant to this Agreement.


                                       72

      14.11 DOCUMENTATION AGENT. The Lender identified on the signature pages of
this  Agreement  as the  "Documentation  Agent"  shall  have  no  right,  power,
obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or any of the
Other  Documents  other than those  applicable  to all Lenders as such.  Without
limiting the foregoing,  the Lender so identified shall not have or be deemed to
have any fiduciary  relationship with any Lender.  Each Lender acknowledges that
it has not relied, and will not rely, on the Lender so identified in deciding to
enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

15.   INTERRELATED BUSINESSES; BORROWING AGENCY.

      15.1  INTERRELATED  BUSINESSES.  Borrowers hereby represent and warrant to
Agent and Lenders that (a) Borrowers make up a related  organization  of various
entities  constituting  a  single  economic  and  business  enterprise  so  that
Borrowers  share an identity of interests such that any benefit  received by any
one of them benefits the others;  (b) certain of Borrowers render services to or
for the  benefit of other  Borrowers,  as the case may be,  purchase or sell and
supply goods to or from or for the benefit of the others,  make loans,  advances
and provide other  financial  accommodations  to or for the benefit of the other
Borrowers  (including,  inter alia, the payment by Borrowers of creditors of the
other  Borrowers  and  guarantees  by  Borrowers  of  indebtedness  of the other
Borrowers and provide administrative, marketing, payroll and management services
to or  for  the  benefit  of  the  other  Borrowers),  and  (c)  Borrowers  have
centralized accounting and legal service,  common officers and directors and are
identified  to creditors as a single  economic  and  business  enterprise  doing
business as "Perfumania."

      15.2 BORROWING AGENCY PROVISIONS.

            (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably  designates  Borrowing Agent to
be its  attorney  and agent and in such  capacity  to borrow,  sign and  endorse
notes, and execute and deliver all instruments,  documents, writings and further
assurances now or hereafter  required  hereunder,  on behalf of such Borrower or
Borrowers,  and hereby  authorizes Agent to pay over or credit all loan proceeds
hereunder in accordance with the request of Borrowing Agent.

            (b) The handling of this credit facility as a co-borrowing  facility
with a borrowing agent in the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an
accommodation  to Borrowers and at their  request.  Neither Agent nor any Lender
shall incur  liability  to Borrowers  as a result  thereof.  To induce Agent and
Lenders to do so and in consideration  thereof, each Borrower hereby indemnifies
Agent and each Lender and holds Agent and each Lender  harmless from and against
any and all  liabilities,  expenses,  losses,  damages  and  claims of damage or
injury  asserted  against  Agent or any  Lender by any  Person  arising  from or
incurred by reason of the handling of the financing arrangements of Borrowers as
provided  herein,  reliance by Agent or any Lender on any request or instruction
from  Borrowing  Agent or any other  action  taken by Agent or any  Lender  with
respect to this  Section  15.2  except due to willful  misconduct  or gross (not
mere) negligence by the indemnified party.


                                       73
<PAGE>


            (c) All  Obligations  shall be joint and several,  and each Borrower
shall make payment  upon the  maturity of the  Obligations  by  acceleration  or
otherwise,  and such obligation and liability on the part of each Borrower shall
in no way be affected by any  extensions,  renewals and  forbearance  granted to
Agent or any Lender to any Borrower,  failure of Agent or any Lender to give any
Borrower  notice of borrowing or any other  notice,  any failure of Agent or any
Lender to pursue or preserve  its rights  against any  Borrower,  the release by
Agent or any  Lender  of any  Collateral  now or  thereafter  acquired  from any
Borrower,  and such  agreement  by each  Borrower to pay upon any notice  issued
pursuant thereto is  unconditional  and unaffected by prior recourse by Agent or
any  Lender  to the  other  Borrowers  or any  Collateral  for  such  Borrower's
Obligations or the lack thereof.

      15.3 WAIVER OF  SUBROGATION.  Each Borrower  expressly  waives any and all
rights of subrogation,  reimbursement,  indemnity, exoneration,  contribution of
any other claim which such Borrower may now or hereafter  have against the other
Borrowers or other Person  directly or  contingently  liable for the Obligations
hereunder,  or  against  or  with  respect  to  the  other  Borrowers'  property
(including,  without  limitation,  any  property  which  is  Collateral  for the
Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement.

16.   MISCELLANEOUS.

      16.1 GOVERNING  LAW. This Agreement  shall be governed by and construed in
accordance  with the laws of the State of New York  applied to  contracts  to be
performed wholly within the State of New York. Any judicial  proceeding  brought
by or  against  any  Borrower  with  respect  to any of  the  Obligations,  this
Agreement  or any  related  agreement  may be brought in any court of  competent
jurisdiction  in the  State of New  York,  United  States of  America,  and,  by
execution and delivery of this Agreement,  each Borrower  accepts for itself and
in  connection  with  its  properties,   generally  and   unconditionally,   the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, and irrevocably agrees to be
bound by any judgment  rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement.  Each
Borrower  hereby  waives  personal  service of any and all  process  upon it and
consents that all such service of process may be made by registered mail (return
receipt  requested)  directed  to  Borrowing  Agent at its  address set forth in
Section 16.7 and service so made shall be deemed  completed seven (7) days after
the same  shall  have been so  deposited  in the mails of the  United  States of
America,  or, at the  Agent's  and/or  any  Lender's  option,  by  service  upon
Borrowing  Agent which each  Borrower  irrevocably  appoints as such  Borrower's
Agent for the purpose of accepting service within the State of New York. Nothing
herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner permitted by law or
shall  limit the right of Agent or any Lender to bring  proceedings  against any
Borrower  in the  courts of any other  jurisdiction.  Each  Borrower  waives any
objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall
not  assert any  defense  based on lack of  jurisdiction  or venue or based upon
forum non conveniens.  Any judicial  proceeding by any Borrower against Agent or
any Lender  involving,  directly or  indirectly,  any matter or claim in any way
arising  out of,  related to or  connected  with this  Agreement  or any related
agreement, shall be brought only in a federal or state court located in the City
of New York, State of New York.

      16.2 AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT;  AMENDMENTS TO OTHER DOCUMENTS.  This
Agreement amends, restates,  replaces, and supercedes in its entirety, without a
breach in continuity, the Existing Agreement, as it has heretofore been amended,
restated, renewed, supplemented, substituted or otherwise modified. Neither this
Agreement  nor any  portion  or  provisions  hereof  may be  changed,  modified,
amended, waived, supplemented,  discharged, cancelled or terminated orally or by
any course of dealing,  or in any manner  other than by an agreement in writing,
signed by the party to be charged.  With  respect to any of the Other  Documents
heretofore  executed and  delivered  by any Borrower or Guarantor in  connection
with the  Existing  Agreement,  each such Other  Document  is hereby  amended as
follows: (a) all references to the Existing Agreement are hereby amended to mean
this Agreement,  and (b) all references to GMAC Commercial Credit LLC are hereby
amended to mean GMAC CF, in its capacity as Agent hereunder.

      16.3 ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING

            (a) This Agreement and the documents executed  concurrently herewith
contain the entire  understanding  between each Borrower,  Agent and each Lender
and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings,  if any, relating to the
subject matter hereof. Any promises,  representations,  warranties or guarantees
not herein  contained and hereinafter made shall have no force and effect unless
in writing,  signed by each  Borrower's,  Agent's and each  Lender's  respective
officers.  Neither this  Agreement nor any portion or  provisions  hereof may be
changed,  modified,  amended,  waived,  supplemented,  discharged,  cancelled or
terminated orally or by any course of dealing, or in any manner other than by an
agreement  in  writing,  signed  by  the  party  to be  charged.  Each  Borrower
acknowledges  that it has  been  advised  by  counsel  in  connection  with  the
execution of this  Agreement  and Other  Documents  and is not relying upon oral
representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement.

            (b) The Required  Lenders,  Agent with the consent in writing of the
Required  Lenders,  and Borrowers may, subject to the provisions of this Section
16.3(b),  from time to time enter into written  supplemental  agreements to this
Agreement  or the Other  Documents  executed  by  Borrowers,  for the purpose of
adding or deleting any provisions or otherwise  changing,  varying or waiving in
any  manner  the  rights  of  Lenders,  Agent  or  Borrowers  thereunder  or the
conditions,  provisions  or terms  thereof  of  waiving  any  Event  of  Default
thereunder,  but  only  to the  extent  specified  in such  written  agreements;
provided,  however,  that no such  supplemental  agreement  shall,  without  the
consent of all Lenders:

                  (i) increase the Commitment Percentage of any Lender;

                  (ii) increase the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount;

                  (iii) extend the maturity of any instrument  evidencing any of
the  Obligations or the due date for any amount payable  hereunder,  or decrease
the rate of interest or reduce any fee payable by Borrowers to Lenders  pursuant
to this Agreement;

                  (iv)  alter the  definition  of the term  Required  Lenders or
alter, amend or modify this Section 16.3(b);


                                       75
<PAGE>


                  (v) alter the  definition  of any of the  following  terms (A)
EBITDA,  (B) Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, (C) Inventory  Advance Rates, (D) Rent
Reserve, (E) Formula Amount, or (F) Undrawn Availability;

                  (vi)  release  any  Borrower  or  Guarantor,  or  release  any
Collateral  during any  calendar  year  having an  aggregate  value in excess of
$2,000,000; or

                  (vii) change the rights and duties of Agent.

Any such supplemental  agreement shall apply equally to each Lender and shall be
binding  upon  Borrowers,  Lenders  and  Agent  and all  future  holders  of the
Obligations.  In the case of any waiver,  Borrowers,  Agent and Lenders shall be
restored to their former  positions and rights,  and any Event of Default waived
shall be  deemed  to be cured and not  continuing,  but no waiver of a  specific
Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default (whether or not
the  subsequent  Event of Default is the same as the Event of Default  which was
waived), or impair any right consequent thereon.

      16.4 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; PARTICIPATIONS; NEW LENDERS.

            (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
Borrowers,  Agent, each Lender,  all future holders of the Obligations and their
respective  successors  and  assigns,  except  that no  Borrower  may  assign or
transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of Agent and each Lender.

            (b)  Each  Borrower  acknowledges  that  in the  regular  course  of
commercial banking business one or more Lenders may at any time and from time to
time  sell   participating   interests  in  the  Advances  to  other   financial
institutions (each such transferee or purchaser of a participating  interest,  a
"Transferee").  Each  Transferee  may exercise all rights of payment  (including
without  limitation  rights of  set-off)  with  respect  to the  portion of such
Advances held by it or other  Obligations  payable hereunder as fully as if such
Transferee  were the direct holder thereof  provided that Borrowers shall not be
required to pay to any Transferee  more than the amount which it would have been
required to pay to Lender  which  granted an  interest in its  Advances or other
Obligations  payable  hereunder to such Transferee had such Lender retained such
interest in the Advances hereunder or other Obligations payable hereunder and in
no event shall  Borrowers  be required to pay any such amount  arising  from the
same  circumstances  and with respect to the same Advances or other  Obligations
payable hereunder to both such Lender and such Transferee.  Each Borrower hereby
grants to any Transferee a continuing security interest in any deposits,  moneys
or other property actually or constructively held by such Transferee as security
for the Transferee's interest in the Advances.


                                       76
<PAGE>


            (c) Any Lender may sell,  assign or transfer  all or any part of its
rights under this  Agreement and the Other  Documents to one or more  additional
banks or financial  institutions  and one or more additional  banks or financial
institutions may commit to make Advances hereunder (each a "Purchasing Lender"),
in  minimum  amounts  of not less  than  $5,000,000,  pursuant  to a  Commitment
Transfer Supplement, executed by a Purchasing Lender, the transferor Lender, and
Agent and  delivered  to Agent for  recording.  Upon such  execution,  delivery,
acceptance and recording,  from and after the transfer effective date determined
pursuant  to  such  Commitment  Transfer   Supplement,   (i)  Purchasing  Lender
thereunder  shall  be a  party  hereto  and,  to the  extent  provided  in  such
Commitment  Transfer  Supplement,  have the rights and  obligations  of a Lender
thereunder  with a  Commitment  Percentage  as set forth  therein,  and (ii) the
transferor  Lender  thereunder  shall, to the extent provided in such Commitment
Transfer Supplement,  be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the
Commitment  Transfer  Supplement  creating a  novation  for that  purpose.  Such
Commitment  Transfer  Supplement  shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the
extent,  and only to the  extent,  necessary  to reflect  the  addition  of such
Purchasing  Lender and the resulting  adjustment of the  Commitment  Percentages
arising from the purchase by such  Purchasing  Lender of all or a portion of the
rights and  obligations of such  transferor  Lender under this Agreement and the
Other  Documents.  Borrowers  hereby consent to the addition of such  Purchasing
Lender and the resulting  adjustment of the Commitment  Percentages arising from
the  purchase  by such  Purchasing  Lender of all or a portion of the rights and
obligations  of such  transferor  Lender  under  this  Agreement  and the  Other
Documents.  Borrowers  shall  execute and deliver such further  documents and do
such further acts and things in order to effectuate the foregoing.

            (d) Agent shall  maintain  at its address a copy of each  Commitment
Transfer  Supplement  delivered to it and a register  (the  "Register")  for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Advances owing to each Lender from
time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of
manifest  error,  and  Borrowers,  Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the  Register as the owner of the Advance  recorded  therein
for the  purposes  of this  Agreement.  The  Register  shall  be  available  for
inspection  by Borrowers or any Lender at any  reasonable  time and from time to
time upon  reasonable  prior notice.  Agent shall receive a fee in the amount of
$2,500  payable by the applicable  Purchasing  Lender upon the effective date of
each transfer or assignment to such Purchasing Lender.

            (e) Borrowers authorize each Lender to disclose to any Transferee or
Purchasing  Lender and any prospective  Transferee or Purchasing  Lender any and
all financial information in such Lender's possession concerning Borrowers which
has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of Borrowers  pursuant to this
Agreement or in connection with such Lender's credit evaluation of Borrowers.

      16.5  APPLICATION  OF  PAYMENTS.  Agent  shall  have  the  continuing  and
exclusive  right to apply or reverse  and  re-apply  any payment and any and all
proceeds of  Collateral  to any portion of the  Obligations.  To the extent that
Borrowers make a payment or Agent or any Lender receives any payment or proceeds
of  the  Collateral  for  any  Borrower's   benefit,   which  are   subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to
be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession,  receiver,  custodian or any other
party under any bankruptcy  law,  common law or equitable  cause,  then, to such
extent,  the  Obligations  or part  thereof  intended to be  satisfied  shall be
revived and  continue as if such  payment or proceeds  had not been  received by
Agent or such Lender.


                                       77
<PAGE>


      16.6 INDEMNITY.  Each Borrower shall indemnify Agent, each Lender and each
of their respective officers, directors,  Affiliates,  employees and agents from
and against any and all liabilities,  obligations,  losses, damages,  penalties,
actions,  judgments,  suits,  costs,  expenses and  disbursements of any kind or
nature  whatsoever  (including,  without  limitation,  fees and disbursements of
counsel) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted  against Agent or any
Lender in any litigation, proceeding or investigation instituted or conducted by
any governmental  agency or  instrumentality or any other Person with respect to
any aspect of, or any  transaction  contemplated  by, or  referred to in, or any
matter related to, this Agreement or the Other  Documents,  whether or not Agent
or any Lender is a party thereto, except to the extent that any of the foregoing
arises out of the willful misconduct or gross (not mere) negligence of the party
being indemnified.

      16.7 NOTICE.  Any notice or request hereunder may be given to any Borrower
or to Agent or any Lender at their  respective  addresses  set forth below or at

authorized  officer of the  recipient  confirming  its  receipt as  subsequently
confirmed by registered  or certified  mail.  Any notice or other  communication
required or permitted  pursuant to this Agreement  shall be deemed given (i)when
personally delivered to any officer of the party to whom it is addressed, (ii)on
the  earlier  of actual  receipt  thereof  or three (3) days  following  posting

      16.9  SEVERABILITY.  If  any  part  of  this  Agreement  is  contrary  to,
prohibited  by, or deemed invalid under  applicable  laws or  regulations,  such
provision  shall be  inapplicable  and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary,
prohibited or invalid, but the remainder hereof shall not be invalidated thereby
and shall be given effect so far as possible.

      16.10  EXPENSES.  All costs and expenses  including,  without  limitation,

            (b) Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary set forth herein or in
