          REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of September 25, 1996, among
PDK LABS INC., a New York corporation having its principal place of business at
145 Ricefield Lane, Hauppauge, New York 11788 ("PDK"), FUTUREBIOTICS, INC., a
Delaware corporation having its principal place of business at 145 Ricefield
Lane, Hauppauge, New York ("Futurebiotics"; collectively with PDK, the "Co-
Borrowers"), each of the Banks which is a party hereto and THE CHASE MANHATTAN
BANK, a New York banking corporation having an office at 395 North Service Road,
Suite 302, Melville, New York 11747 ("Chase"), as agent for the Banks (in such
capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the "Agent").

                                      RECITALS:

          WHEREAS, Chase has previously extended credit to Futurebiotics
pursuant to the Futurebiotics Credit Agreement and to PDK pursuant to the PDK
Credit Agreement; and

          WHEREAS, the Co-Borrowers have requested the Banks to extend credit 
hereunder to replace the existing revolving credit made available by Chase to
Futurebiotics and to PDK and, in that connection, the Co-Borrowers have agreed
to use the proceeds of the initial borrowings hereunder to repay such revolving
credit indebtedness; and

          WHEREAS, the Banks are willing to extend such credit to the
Co-Borrowers, on a joint and several basis, on the terms and conditions set 
forth herein;

          NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

A1.                               DEFINITIONS

S1.       Defined  Terms.   As used in this Agreement, the following terms 
shall have the following meanings, unless the context otherwise requires:

          "Accumulated Funding Deficiency" shall have the meaning set forth in 
Section 302 of ERISA.

          "Affiliate" shall mean, with respect to any Person, any Person which 
(a) directly or indirectly, is in control of, is controlled by, or is under 
common control with, such Person; (b) is a partnership in which such Person is 
a general partner; or (c) is 

<PAGE>

a limited liability company in which such Person is a member. For purposes of
this definition, "control" of a Person means the power, direct or indirect,
either (i) to vote 10% or more of the securities having ordinary voting power
for the election of directors of such Person or (ii) to direct or cause the
direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether by contract or
otherwise.


          "Agreement" shall mean this Credit Agreement and any amendments or 
supplements thereto.

          "Alternate Base Rate" shall mean, for any day, a rate per annum 
(rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/6 of 1%) equal to the greatest of:

          (a)  the Prime Rate in effect on such day;

          (b)  the  Base CD Rate in  effect on such  day plus 1%;

          and

          (c)  the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 
1/2 of 1%.

For purposes of this definition:

          "Prime Rate" shall mean the rate of interest per annum publicly 
announced from time to time by the Agent as its prime rate in effect as its 
principal office in New York City. The Prime Rate is not intended to be the 
lowest rate of interest charged by the Agent in connection with extensions of 
credit to debtors.

          "Base CD Rate" shall mean the sum of (a) the product of (i) the

A1.                  AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS

S1. 
Revolving Credit Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, 
each of the Banks severally (but not jointly) agree to make Loans in Dollars to
the Co-Borrowers at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof,
to and including the Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount
outstanding at any one time up to but not exceeding its Commitment Proportion of
the difference between (i) the Total Commitments and (ii) the Letter of Credit
Outstandings. The Loans may be outstanding as Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar
Loans; provided, however, that during the occurrence and continuance of a
Default or an Event of Default, the Banks shall have no obligation to make
Eurodollar Loans. Subject to the foregoing limits, the Co-Borrowers may use the
Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no
event shall the aggregate principal amount of Loans made available to PDK exceed
PDK Sublimit and in no event shall the aggregate principal amount of Loans made
available to Futurebiotics exceed the Futurebiotics Sublimit.

S2. 
The Notes. The Loans made by each Bank for the benefit of PDK shall be 
evidenced by a single promissory note in favor of such Bank substantially in the
form of Exhibit A-1 annexed hereto with appropriate insertions, duly executed
and completed by the Co-Borrowers. The Loans made by each Bank for the benefit
of Futurebiotics shall be evidenced by a single promissory note in favor of such
Bank substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 annexed 

                                    - 17 -

<PAGE>

hereto with appropriate insertions, duly executed and completed by the
Co-Borrowers. Each Bank is hereby authorized to record the date, type and amount
of each Loan, the date and amount of each payment of principal thereof, the
principal amount subject thereto and the interest rate and Interest Period with
respect thereto in the Bank's records and/or on schedules annexed to and
constituting a part of the Notes, and, absent manifest error, any such
recordation shall constitute conclusive evidence of the information so recorded;
provided, that the failure to make such recordation shall not in any way affect
the obligations of the Co-Borrowers to repay the Loans. The Notes (a) shall be
dated the date hereof, (b) be stated to mature on the Termination Date and (c)
bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof as follows:

                                                                            (a) 
Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof
at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate. Interest on Base Rate
Loans shall be payable monthly on the first Business Day of each month
commencing on the first such date after a Base Rate Loan is made and upon
payment or prepayment in full of the unpaid principal amount thereof.

                                                                            (b)
Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof

at a rate per annum equal to 2% above the Eurodollar Rate. Interest on each
Eurodollar Loan shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period
applicable thereto, and upon payment or prepayment in full of the unpaid
principal amount thereof. If applicable, interest on each Eurodollar Loan with
an Interest Period greater than one month shall also be payable on the first
Business Day of each month from the date of such Eurodollar Loan, and on the
first Business Day of each month thereafter.

                                                                            (c)
The unpaid principal amount of all Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans shall be
payable on the Termination Date. If all or a portion of any principal amount of
any loan shall not be paid when due (whether as stated, by acceleration or
otherwise), such loan, if a Eurodollar Loan, shall be converted to a Base Rate
Loan at the end of the relevant Interest Period applicable thereto, and any such
overdue principal amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum 

                                    - 18 -

<PAGE>

which is 2% above the rate which would otherwise be applicable pursuant to the
terms of this Section 2.2.

S3. 
Notice of Borrowing; Minimum Amounts. (a) The Co-Borrowers shall give the Agent
prior telephonic notice followed by written, telegraphic or tested telex
confirmation of the date, the borrowing option, the applicable Interest Period,
if any, and the amount of each borrowing pursuant to the Commitment at least by
11:00 a.m. (i) on the borrowing date of any Base Rate Loan, and (ii) at least
three (3) Working Days prior to the borrowing date of any Eurodollar Loan. Each
such notice, which shall be effective only upon receipt thereof by the Agent,
shall also include a certification, if form and substance satisfactory to the
Agent, indicating which of the Co-Borrowers will receive the proceeds of such
Loan. Notice of receipt of any such notice shall be provided by the Agent to
each Bank with reasonable promptness.

          (b) Each Bank will make its share of each borrowing available to the 
Agent by 12:00 p.m. on the date of such borrowing in immediately available
funds. Unless any applicable condition specified in Article 3 has not been
satisfied, the amounts so received by the Agent will be made available to the
Co-Borrowers by credit to an account of the Co-Borrowers maintained at the
Agent. All Loans requested by the Co-Borrowers to benefit PDK shall be credited
to an account of PDK maintained at the Agent and all Loans represented by the
Co-Borrowers to benefit Futurebiotics shall be credited to an account of
Futurebiotics maintained at the Agent.

          (c) At least three (3) Working Days prior to the last day of any 
Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, the Co-Borrowers may give
the Agent notice of their election to continue such Eurodollar Loan, specifying
the resulting Interest Period. If the Co-Borrowers shall fail to give such
notice, any loan affected thereby shall be automatically converted to a Base
Rate Loan at the end of such Interest Period. Upon at least three (3) Working
Days' prior written notice, the Co-Borrowers may give the Agent notice of their
election to convert a Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan, specifying the

resulting Interest Period. Notice of receipt of any such notice shall be
provided by the Agent to the Banks with reasonable promptness. The Banks may,
but shall be under no obligation to, continue any Eurodollar Loan as such or to
convert any Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan, when any Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, but any such Eurodollar 

                                    - 19 -

<PAGE>

Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto, and any such Base Rate Loan shall be
continued as a Base Rate Loan, as the case may be.

          (d) Except for borrowings which exhaust the full remaining amount of 
the Commitments, each borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall be in an amount at
least equal to $100,000 and, if greater, in integral multiples of $100,000 in
excess thereof, and each borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall be in an amount at
least equal to $500,000, and, if greater, in integral multiples of $100,000 in 
excess thereof.

S1. 
Commitment Fee. The Co-Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent for the pro rata
account of each Bank a commitment fee for the period from and including the date
hereof to and including the Termination Date, computed at the rate of 1/4 of 1%
per annum on the average daily unused portion of the Total Commitments in effect
during the period for which payment is made. Such commitment fee shall be
payable on the last day of each March, June, September and December, and on the
Termination Date.

S2. 
Termination or Reduction of Commitment; Acceleration of Termination Date. The
Co-Borrowers shall have the right, upon not less than three (3) Business Days
prior written notice to the Agent, to terminate the Commitment in whole at any
time or to reduce the Commitments in part from time to time, or to accelerate
the Termination Date, provided that (a) any reduction of the Commitments shall
be accompanied by prepayment, together with accrued interest on the amount so
prepaid and any payment required by Section 2.12(iv), to the extent, if any,
that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Note exceeds the Commitment as
then reduced, (b) any termination of the Commitments shall be accompanied by
payment in full of the unpaid principal amount of the Notes, together with
accrued interest thereon and any payment required by Section 2.12(iv), and the
payment of any commitment fee then accrued hereunder, (c) any acceleration of
the Termination Date shall be accompanied by the payment of any commitment fee
then accrued hereunder and any payment required by Section 2.12 (iv) and (d) any
partial reduction in the Commitments shall reduce the Futurebiotics Sublimit
and/or PDK Sublimit in such amounts as the Co-Borrowers' may elect in their
notice to the Agent. If the Co-

- 20 -

<PAGE>

Borrowers do not specify a different allocation in the notice required to be

delivered to the Agent hereunder, any reduction in the Commitment shall be
applied to reduce the Futurebiotics Sublimit and PDK Sublimit proportionately.
Any partial reduction shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $50,000 or a
multiple thereof and shall reduce permanently the Commitments then in effect
hereunder. The Commitments, once reduced or terminated, shall not be increased
or reinstated, as the case may be.

S3. 
Changes in Capital Requirements. If after the date hereof, any Bank shall have
determined that the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation 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 any Bank 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 such Bank's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level
below that which such Bank could have achieved but for such adoption, change or
compliance (taking into consideration such Bank's policies with respect to
capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then such
Bank shall notify the Agent and the Co-Borrowers of such event and within 15
days after such notice is delivered by such Bank hereunder, the Co-Borrowers
shall pay to the Agent for the benefit of such Bank such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Bank for such reduction.

1.  Voluntary Prepayments. The Co-Borrowers may prepay any Base Rate Loan 
without premium or penalty in whole at any time or in part from time to time,
and any Eurodollar Loan without premium or penalty in whole or in part on the
last day of any Interest Period applicable thereto. Eurodollar Loans may not be
prepaid during an Interest Period without the prior written consent of the
Agent. Partial prepayments of the Loans shall be in the principal amount of
$25,000 or multiples thereof if repayment is of a Base Rate Loan, and $250,000
or multiples thereof if repayment is of a Eurodollar Loan, together with payment
of accrued interest thereon to the date of the prepayment (and, if applicable,
the payment required by Section 2.12 (iv)). The Co-Borrowers shall give to the
Agent and each Bank at least three (3) Business Days prior written, 

                                    - 21 -

<PAGE>
          
telegraphic or tested telex notice of any repayment or prepayment, specifying
the date and the amount thereof.

S1.  Computation of Interest and Commitment Fee; Payments. Commitment fees, if 
any, and interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the
actual days elapsed. Any change in the interest rate on the Notes resulting from
a change in the Base Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business
on the day on which such change in the Base Rate shall become effective. All
payments (including prepayments) by the Co-Borrowers on account of principal
and interest on the Loans and the commitment fee hereunder shall be made not
later than 10:00 a.m. on the date specified herein to the Agent for the benefit
of the Banks, at the Agent's office located at 395 North Service Road, Suite
302, Melville, New York 11747 in Dollars in immediately available funds. If any

payment on a Base Rate Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a
Business Day the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate
during such extension. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and
payable on a day other than a Working Day, the maturity thereof shall be
extended to the next succeeding Working Day unless the result of such extension
would be to extend such payment into another calendar month in which event such
payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Working Day.

S2.  Inability to Determine Rate.  If with respect to any Interest Period 
pertaining to a Eurodollar Loan, the Agent determines that extraordinary 
circumstances affecting the relevant market make it impracticable to ascertain
the interest rate applicable for such Interest Period, the Agent shall promptly
notify the Co-Borrowers and each Bank of such determination and no additional
Eurodollar Loans shall be made nor shall there be any conversions thereto until
such notice is withdrawn. If any Eurodollar Loan is outstanding on the date of
such notice and such notice has not been withdrawn on the last day of the then
current Interest Period applicable thereto, the Co-Borrowers may on the last day
of such Interest Period either convert such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan
or prepay the outstanding principal balance thereof and accrued interest thereon
in full.

S3.  Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, if 
any law, regulation, treaty or directive or any 

                                    - 22 -

<PAGE>

change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it
unlawful for any Bank to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by
this Agreement, then (a) such Bank shall promptly notify the Agent thereof (with
a copy to the Co-Borrowers) and such Bank's obligation to make or maintain
Eurodollar Loans or convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith
be suspended until such time as such Bank may again make and maintain such Loans
and (b) Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted
to Base Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or
within such earlier period as required by law. The Co-Borrowers hereby agree to
promptly pay to the Agent for the benefit of the affected Bank, upon the demand
of such Bank through the Agent, any amounts required by Section 2.12(iv)
resulting from a prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan.

S4.  Requirements of Law. In the event that any law, regulation, treaty or 
directive or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof
or compliance by any Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) from any central bank or other governmental authority, agency
or instrumentality:

               (i) does or shall subject such Bank to any tax of any kind 
          whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, its Commitment,
          the Notes or any Loans made hereunder, or change the basis of
          taxation of payments to such Bank of principal, commitment fee,
          interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for
          changes in the rate of any tax presently imposed on such Bank);


               (ii) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any 
          reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement 
          against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or 
          for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended 
          by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such 
          Bank which are not otherwise included in the determination of 
          the Eurodollar Rate hereunder;

               (iii)  does or shall impose on such Bank any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank of
making, renewing or maintaining commitments, advances or extensions of credit to
the Co-Borrowers or to reduce any amount 

                                    - 23 -

<PAGE>

receivable from the Co-Borrowers thereunder then, in any such case, the
Co-Borrowers shall promptly pay to the Agent for the account of each Bank, upon
the demand of such Bank through the Agent, any additional amounts necessary to
compensate such Bank for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which
such Bank deems to be material as determined by such Bank with respect to this
Agreement, its Commitment, the Notes or the Loans made hereunder. If any Bank
becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11,
it shall promptly notify the Co-Borrowers and the Agent of the event by reason
of which it has become so entitled. A certificate setting forth calculations as
to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted
by such Bank to the Agent the Co-Borrowers shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error.

S1.  Indemnification. The Co-Borrowers agree to indemnify each Bank (including, 
without limitation, the Agent) and to hold each Bank harmless from any loss or
expense which such Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) default by
the Co-Borrowers in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on
any Eurodollar Loan, (ii) default by the Co-Borrowers in making a borrowing of,
conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Co-Borrowers have
given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, (iii) default by the Co-Borrowers in making any prepayment after the
Co-Borrowers have given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement, or (iv) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day
which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, including,
without limitation, in each case, any such loss (including lost profits) or
expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees
payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. This
covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the
Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

S2.  Use of Proceeds. (a) No part of the proceeds of any borrowing hereunder 
will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others
for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock. If requested by the
Agent, the Co-Borrowers will furnish to the Agent a statement in conformity
with the requirements of Federal Reserve Form U-1 referred to in Regulation U

and to the foregoing effect. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used
for any purpose which 

                                    - 24 -

<PAGE>

violates, or which is inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation G, 
Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X.

          (a) The proceeds of the Loans shall be used (i) to refinance all 
obligations of the Co-Borrowers (other than the obligations of PDK with respect
to the Existing Term Loans), under the Futurebiotics Credit Agreement and PDK
Credit Agreement; and (ii) subject to the Futurebiotics Sublimit and PDK
Sublimit, to finance the ongoing working capital needs and capital expenditures
of the Co-Borrowers. The proceeds of the Loans shall not be used to finance
acquisitions.

S3.  Authorization to Debit Co-Borrowers' Accounts. The Agent is hereby
authorized to debit any account of the Co-Borrowers or of either Co-Borrower
maintained with the Agent for (i) all scheduled payments of principal and/or
interest under the Notes, and (ii) the commitment fee and all other amounts due
hereunder; all such debits to be made on the days such payments are due in
accordance with the terms hereof.

S4.  Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a 
Default, the Co-Borrowers shall pay interest on all amounts owing under the
Notes and this Agreement (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum
(computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 360
days) equal to 2% in excess of the interest rate otherwise in effect hereunder.

S5.  Interest Adjustments. (a) If the provisions of this Agreement or the 
Notes would at any time otherwise require payment by the Co-Borrowers to the
Agent for the benefit of the Banks of any amount of interest in excess of the
maximum amount then permitted by applicable law the interest payments shall be
reduced to the extent necessary so that the Banks shall not receive interest in
excess of such maximum amount. To the extent that, pursuant to the foregoing
sentence, the Banks shall receive interest payments hereunder or under the Notes
in an amount less than the amount otherwise provided, such deficit (hereinafter
called the "Interest Deficit") will cumulate and will be carried forward
(without interest) until the termination of this Agreement. Interest otherwise
payable to the Banks hereunder and under the Notes for any subsequent period
shall be increased by such maximum amount of the Interest Deficit that may be so
added without causing the Banks to receive interest in excess of the maximum
amount then permitted by applicable law.

                                    - 25 -

<PAGE>

          (a) To the extent permitted by law, the amount of the Interest 
Deficit shall be treated as a prepayment penalty and paid in full at the time of
any optional prepayment by the Co-Borrowers to the Banks of all outstanding
Loans.


S6.  Participations, Etc.  Each Bank shall have the right at any time, with or 
without notice to the Co-Borrowers, to sell, assign, transfer  or negotiate all
or any part of its Notes or its  Commitments or grant  participations therein
to one or more banks (foreign or domestic, including an affiliate of any Bank),
insurance companies or other financial institutions, pension funds or mutual
funds. The Co-Borrowers and the Guarantors agree and consent to the Agent
providing financial and other information regarding their business and
operations to prospective purchasers or participants and further agree that to
the extent that any Bank should sell, assign, transfer or negotiate all or any
part of the Notes or the Commitment, such Bank shall be forever released and
discharged from its obligations under the Notes, the Commitment and this
Agreement to the extent same is sold, assigned, transferred or negotiated. Each
Bank shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to pledge the
Notes to any Federal Reserve Bank. In the event that any Bank sells, assigns or
transfers all or any part of its Commitment hereunder to another bank, such
other bank shall be deemed to be a "Bank" for all purposes hereof and shall
execute such documents or instruments as are required by the Agent to give
effect to the provisions of this Section 2.17 including, without limitation, an
intercreditor agreement and a collateral agency agreement, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Agent.

          to in clause (i) above or seeking issuance of a warrant of attachment,

          results in the entry of an order for relief or (y) remains
          undismissed, undischarged or unbonded for a period of 60 days; or
          (iii) the Co-Borrowers, or either of them, any Guarantor or any of
          their Subsidiaries shall take any action indicating its consent to,
          approval of, or acquiescence in, or in furtherance of, any of the acts
          set forth in clause (i) or (ii) above; or (iv) the Co-Borrowers, or
          either of them, any Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries shall

          and in each case in clauses (i) through (vi) above, such event or
          condition, together with all other such events or conditions, if any, 
          could subject the Co-Borrowers, or either of them, or any of the
          Guarantors or any of their Subsidiaries to any tax, penalty or other
          liabilities in the aggregate material in relation to the business,
          operations, property or financial or other condition of the Co-
          Borrowers, or either of them, or any of the Guarantors or any of their
          Subsidiaries;

               (h) default by any Co-Borrower or Guarantor in the performance 
          of the terms of any Loan Documents to which such entity is a party or
          if any Loan Documents shall cease to be in full force and effect or
          shall be declared to be null and void, or the validity or
          enforceability of any Loan Document shall be contested by any such
          Co-Borrower or Guarantor or such party shall deny that it has any
          further liability to the Banks, or any of them, with respect thereto;

thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement to be forth with due
and payable, whereupon the Notes, all such interest and all such amounts shall

become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or
further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the 
Co-Borrowers and (iii) 

                                    - 52 -

<PAGE>

proceed to enforce the rights of the Agent and the Banks whether by suit in
equity or by action at law, whether for specific performance of any covenant or
agreement contained in this Agreement or any Loan Document, or in aid of the
exercise of any power granted in either this Agreement or any, Loan Document or
proceed to obtain judgment or any other relief whatsoever appropriate to the
enforcement of its rights, or proceed to enforce any other legal or equitable
right which the Agent and the Banks may have by reason of the occurrence of any
Event of Default hereunder or under any Loan Document, provided, however, that
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default referred to in Section 7.1(f) the
Commitment shall be automatically terminated, the Notes, all interest thereon
and all other amounts payable under this Agreement shall be immediately due and
payable without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all
of which are hereby expressly waived by the Co-Borrowers. Any amounts collected
pursuant to action taken under this Section 7.2 shall be applied first, to the
payment of any costs incurred by the Agent, acting on behalf of any of the 
Banks, in taking such action, including but without limitation reasonable
attorneys fees, second, to the payment of the accrued interest on the Notes, and
third, to the payment of the unpaid principal of the Notes.

                         A2.THE AGENT; RELATIONS AMONG BANKS

               Section 8.1. Appointment, Powers and Immunities of Agent. Each 
Bank hereby irrevocably (but subject to removal by the Required Banks pursuant
to Section 8.9) appoints and authorizes the Agent to act as its agent hereunder
and under any other Loan Document with such powers as are specifically delegated
to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Document,
together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent
shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in
this Agreement and any other Loan Document, and shall not by reason of this
Agreement be a trustee for any Bank. The Agent shall not be responsible to the
Banks for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the
Co-Borrowers, or any officer or official of the Co-Borrowers, or any other
Person contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or in any
certificate or other document or instrument referred to or provided for in, or
received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for
the value, legality, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or
sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any 

                                    - 53 -

<PAGE>

other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein, or
for the failure by the Co-Borrowers to perform any of their obligations
hereunder or thereunder. The Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and
shall not be responsible, except as to money or securities received by it or its

authorized agents, for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Neither the Agent nor any
of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable or responsible 
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any
other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its or
their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Co-Borrowers shall pay any
fee agreed upon with respect to the Agent's services hereunder as set forth in a
letter from the Agent to the Co-Borrowers dated the date hereof.

               Section 8.2 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to 
rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any
thereof by telephone, telefax, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the
proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel,
independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent may
deem and treat each Bank as the holder of the Loans made by it for all purposes
hereof unless and until a notice of the assignment or transfer thereof 
satisfactory to the Agent signed by such Bank shall have been furnished to the
Agent but the Agent shall not be required to deal with any Person who has
acquired a participation in any Loan from a Bank. As to any matters not
expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Agent
shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
hereunder in accordance with instructions signed by the Required Banks, and such
instructions of the Banks and any action taken or failure to act pursuant
thereto shall be binding on all of the Banks and any other holder of all or any
portion of any Loan.

               Section 8.3 Defaults. The Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default (other than the
non-payment of principal of or interest or fees on the Loans to the extent the
same is required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Banks) unless
the Agent has received notice from a Bank or the Co-Borrowers specifying such
Default or Event of Default. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice
of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, the 

                                    - 54 -

<PAGE>

Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Banks (and shall give each Bank
prompt notice of each such non-payment). The Agent shall (subject to Section
8.8) take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default which is
continuing as shall be directed by the Required Banks; provided that, unless and
until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may 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 interest of the Banks;
and provided further that the Agent shall not be required to take any such
action which it determines to be contrary to law.

               Section 8.4  Rights of Agent as a Bank. With respect to its
Commitment and the Loans made by it, the Agent in its capacity as a Bank
hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Bank and
may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Agent, and the term
"Bank" or "Banks" shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the

Agent in its capacity as a Bank. The Agent or any Bank and their respective
affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any other Bank) accept
deposits from, lend money to (on a secured or unsecured basis), and generally
engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, the Co-Borrowers or
the Guarantors (and any of their affiliates). In the case of the Agent, it may
do so as if it were not acting as the Agent, and the Agent may accept fees and
other consideration from the Co-Borrowers or the Guarantors for services in
connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the
same to the Banks. Although the Agent or a Bank or their respective affiliates
may in the course of such relationships and relationships with other Persons
acquire information about the Co-Borrowers or the Guarantors or affiliates and
such other Persons neither the Agent nor such Bank shall have any duty to
disclose such information to the other Banks.

               Section 8.5  Indemnification of Agent. The Banks agree to
indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 2.12 or under
the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents, but without limiting the
obligations of the Co-Borrowers under Section 2.12 or such provisions) ratably
in accordance with the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans made by
the Banks (without giving effect to any participation, in all or any portion of
such Loans, sold by them to any other Person) (or, if no Loans are at the time
outstanding, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments), for any
and all liabilities, obligations, losses, 

                                    - 55 -

<PAGE>

damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated by or
referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
(including, without limitation, the costs and expenses which the Co-Borrowers
are obligated to pay under Sections 2.12 or otherwise or under the applicable
provisions of any other Loan Document but excluding, unless a Default or Event
of Default has occurred, normal administrative costs and expenses incidental to
the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the
terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents or instruments; provided
that no Bank shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified.

               Section 8.6  Documents. The Agent will forward to each Bank,
promptly after the Agent's receipt thereof, a copy of each report, notice or
other document required by this Agreement or any other Facility Document to be
delivered to the Agent for such Bank.

               Section 8.7  Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Banks. Each Bank
agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Agent or any other
Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,
made its own credit analysis of the Co-Borrowers and the Guarantors and decision
to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own

analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document. The Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed
as to the performance or observance by the Co-Borrowers or the Guarantors of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other document referred to or
provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of the
Co-Borrowers or the Guarantors. Except for notices, reports and other documents
and information expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by the Agent 
hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any
Bank with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial
condition or business of the Co-Borrowers or the Guarantors (or any of their
affiliates) which may come into the possession of the Agent or of its
affiliates. The Agent shall not 

                                    - 56 -

<PAGE>

be required to file this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document or
instrument referred to herein or therein, for record or give notice of this
Agreement, any other Facility Document or any document or instrument referred to
herein or therein, to anyone.

               Section 8.8  Failure of Agent to Act. Except for action
expressly required of the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall in all cases be fully
justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall have received
further assurances (which may include cash collateral) of the indemnification
obligations of the Banks under Section 8.5 in respect of any and all liability
and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to
take any such action.

               Section 8.9  Resignation or Removal of Agent. Subject to the
appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, the Agent may
resign at any time by giving written notice thereof at least ten Business Days
prior thereto to the Banks and the Co-Borrowers, the Agent may be removed at any
time with cause by the Required Banks and the Agent may be removed at any time
without cause by the Required Banks if with the prior written consent of the
Co-Borrowers; provided that the Co-Borrowers and the other Banks shall be
promptly notified thereof. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required
Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent
shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such
appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of
resignation or the Required Banks' removal of the retiring Agent, then the
retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent, which
shall be a Bank. The Required Banks or the retiring Agent, as the case may be,
shall upon the appointment of a successor Agent promptly so notify the 
Co-Borrowers and the other Banks. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent's resignation or
removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article 8 shall continue in
effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by
it while it was acting as the Agent.


               Section 8.10  Amendments Concerning Agency Function. The Agent 
shall not be bound by any waiver, amendment, supplement 

                                    - 57 -

<PAGE>

or modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which affects its
duties hereunder or thereunder unless it shall have given its prior consent
thereto.

               Section 8.11  Liability of Agent. The Agent shall not have any 
liabilities or responsibilities to the Co-Borrowers on account of the failure of
any Bank to perform its obligations hereunder or to any Bank on account of the
failure of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other
Loan Document.

               Section 8.12  Transfer of Agency Function. Without the consent 
of the Co-Borrowers or any Bank, the Agent may at any time or from time to time
transfer its functions as Agent hereunder to any of its offices wherever
located, provided that the Agent shall promptly notify the Co-Borrowers and the
Banks thereof.

               Section 8.13  Non-Receipt of Funds by the Agent. Unless the
Agent shall have been notified by a Bank or the Co-Borrowers (either one as
appropriate being the "Payor") prior to the date on which such Bank is to make
payment hereunder to the Agent of the proceeds of a Loan or the Co-Borrowers are
to make payment to the Agent, as the case may be (either such payment being a
"Required Payment"), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the
Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to the Agent, the Agent may
assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such
assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to
the intended recipient on such date and, if the Payor has not in fact made the
Required Payment to the Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand,
repay to the Agent the amount made available to it together with interest
thereon for the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available
by the Agent until the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Rate for such day (when the Agent recovers such
amount from a Bank) or equal to the rate of interest applicable to such Loan
(when the Agent recovers such amount from the Co-Borrowers) and, if such
recipient shall fail to make such payment promptly, the Agent shall be entitled
to recover such amount, on demand, from the Payor, with interest as aforesaid.

               Section 8.14 Several Obligations and Rights of Banks. The
failure of any Bank to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified
therefor shall not relieve any other Bank of its 

                                    - 58 -

<PAGE>

obligation to make its Loan on such date, but no Bank shall be responsible for
the failure of any other Bank to make a Loan to be made by such other Bank. The
amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Bank shall be a separate and

independent debt, and each Bank shall be entitled to protect and enforce its
rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any
other Bank to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such
purpose.

               Section 8.15 Pro Rata Treatment of Loans, Etc. Except to the
extent otherwise provided: (a) each borrowing shall be made from the Banks, each
reduction or termination of the amount of the Commitments shall be applied to 
the Commitments of the Banks, and each payment of the fees shall be made by and
held for the account of the Banks, pro rata in accordance with their respective
Commitment Proportions; (b) each prepayment and payment of principal of or
interest on Loans of a particular type and a particular Interest Period shall be
made to the Agent for the account of the Banks holding Loans of such type and
Interest Period pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal
amounts of such Loans of such Interest Period held by such Banks.

               Section 8.16 Sharing of Payments Among Banks. If a Bank shall 
obtain payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan made by it through
the exercise of any right of setoff, banker's lien, counterclaim, or by any
other means, it shall promptly purchase from the other Banks a participation in
the Loans made by the other Banks in such amounts, and make such other
adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable to the end that all the
Banks shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any expenses which may be
incurred by such Bank in obtaining or preserving such benefit) pro rata in
accordance with the unpaid principal and interest on the Loans held by each of
them. To such end the Banks shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves
(by the resale of any such participation sold or otherwise) if such payment is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Co-Borrowers agree that any Bank so
purchasing a participation in the Loans made by other Banks may exercise all
rights of setoff, banker's lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to
such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Bank to exercise
any such right or shall affect the right of any Bank to exercise, and retain the
benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness of
the Co-Borrowers.

Banks shall be solely that of borrower and lender, respectively. Neither the
Agent nor the Banks shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the
Co-Borrowers and no joint venture exists between the Co-Borrowers and the 
Agent or any of the Banks. The Co-Borrowers, the Agent and the Agent or the
Banks each hereby severally acknowledge that there are no representations,
warranties, covenants, undertakings or agreements by the parties hereto as to
the Loan Documents except as specifically provided herein and therein.

containing a contrary express choice of law provision) shall be construed in

New York. If any provision of the Loan Documents shall be or become

unenforceable or illegal under any law, the other provisions shall remain in
full force and effect.

irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any United States
federal or New York state court sitting in New York City in any action or
proceedings arising out of or relating to any Loan Documents and the

the venue of any such action or proceeding brought in such a court or the fact
that such court is an inconvenient forum.

unconditionally consent to the service of process in any such action or
proceeding in any of the aforesaid courts by the mailing of copies of such

S1.  Entire Agreement; No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Amendments; Setoff.

a)  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute, the entire
agreement among the parties hereto and thereto as to the subject matter hereof
and thereof and supersede any previous agreement, oral or written, as to such
subject matter.

               (a) No failure to exercise and to delay in exercising, on the 
part of the Agent or any of the Banks or the Co-Borrowers, any right, power or
privilege hereunder or under the Notes, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder
preclude any 

                                    - 61 -

<PAGE>

other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. No modification or waiver
of any provision of this Agreement, or the Notes, nor consent to any departure
by the Co-Borrowers or the Guarantors from the provisions hereof or thereof,
shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing from the Agent and then
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the purpose for which it is given. No notice to the Co-Borrowers or the
Guarantors shall entitle the Co-Borrowers or the Guarantors to any other or
further notice in other or similar circumstances unless expressly provided for
herein. No course of dealing between the Co-Borrowers or the Guarantors and the
Agent or any of the Banks shall operate as a waiver of any of the rights of the
Agent or any Bank under this Agreement.
