                                  ARTICLE II

                     LINE OF CREDIT AND TERM LOAN FACILITY

     2.1.   THE LOAN.  For a period beginning on the Closing Date and
terminating on the earlier of the Term Loan Advance Date or March 9, 1999 the
Lenders shall make available to the Borrower the Line of Credit Facility.
The Line of Credit Facility shall be made available, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, to the Borrower in the form of the Term Loan.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender severally
agrees to make an Advance of the Term Loan Facility to the Borrower on the
Term Loan Advance  Date equal to such Lender's  Applicable Commitment
Percentage of the Term Loan, which shall not exceed in any case the Term Loan
Commitment of such Lender.  The Term Loan shall  be available for a single
draw on any Business Day from and including the Closing Date until and
including the date 363 days thereafter.  The principal amount of each Segment
of the Term Loan outstanding hereunder from time to time shall bear interest,
at the Borrower's election, at an interest rate per annum equal to the Base
Rate or the Eurodollar Rate; PROVIDED, however, that (x) no Eurodollar Rate
Segment shall have an Interest Period that extends beyond the Term Loan
Maturity Date, (y) each Eurodollar Rate Segment shall be in the minimum
amount of $5,000,000 (or the remaining principal amount if less than
$5,000,000) and if greater, an integral multiple of $500,000, and (z) each
Eurodollar Rate Segment may, subject to the provisions of SECTIONS 2.4, 2.6
and 2.7, be repaid only on the last day of the Interest Period with respect
thereto.  No amount of the Term Loan repaid or prepaid by the Borrower may be
reborrowed hereunder, and no subsequent Advances of Term Loan amounts shall
be made by any Lender after the initial such Advance.

     2.2.   TERM LOAN ADVANCE.  (a) An Authorized Representative shall
give the Agent (1) at least three (3) Business Days' irrevocable written
notice prior to the Term Loan Advance Date by telefacsimile transmission of a
Borrowing Notice with appropriate insertions, effective upon receipt, of each
Segment that is a Eurodollar Rate Loan prior to 10:30 A.M. and (2)
irrevocable written notice by telefacsimile transmission of a Borrowing
Notice with appropriate insertions, effective upon receipt, of each Segment
that is a Base Rate Loan prior to 10:30 A.M. on the day preceding the Term
Loan Advance Date of the proposed Term Loan advance.  Such notice shall
specify the amount of the borrowing, the Type of Term Loan (Base Rate or
Eurodollar Rate), the Term Loan Advance Date and, if a Eurodollar Rate Loan,
the Interest Period to be used in the computation of interest.   Notice of
receipt of such Borrowing Notice, together with the amount of each Lender's
portion of the Term Loan requested thereunder, shall be provided by the Agent
to each Lender by telefacsimile transmission with reasonable promptness, but
(provided the Agent shall have received such notice by 10:30 A.M.) not later
than 1:00 P.M. on the same day as the Agent's receipt of such notice.

            (b)  Not later than 10:00 A.M., on the Term Loan Advance Date,
each Lender shall, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of
this Agreement, make the amount of the Term Loan Advance to be made by it on
such day available by wire transfer to the Agent in the amount of its Term
Loan Commitment.  Such wire transfer shall be directed to the Agent at the
Principal Office and shall be in the form of immediately available, freely
transferable Dollars.  The Agent



                                      29
<PAGE>

shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, make available
to the Borrower the amount of the Term Loan by 10:30 A.M. on the Term Loan
Advance Date by delivery of the proceeds thereof to the Borrower's Account or
otherwise as shall be directed by the Authorized Representative and
reasonably acceptable to the Agent.

     2.3.   PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL.  The principal amount of the Term Loan
shall be repaid on each Term Loan Payment Date in twenty (20) quarterly
consecutive installments beginning on the first Term Loan Payment Date
following the Term Loan Advance Date and ending on the Term Loan Maturity
Date the first nineteen installments to be in the amounts determined by
multiplying the original principal amount of the Term Loan by that percent
set forth below opposite each respective installment set forth below and the
twentieth (20th) installment to be in the amount of the remaining unpaid
principal:

<TABLE>
                    INSTALLMENTS             PERCENT
                    ------------             -------
<S>                                          <C>
                    1 through 4              2% each
                    5 through 8              3% each
                    9 through 12             5% each
                    13 through 19            7 1/2% each
</TABLE>

PROVIDED, however, that the entire amount of Term Loan Outstandings shall be
due and payable in full on the Term Loan Termination Date; PROVIDED, FURTHER
that in the event that on any such Term Loan Payment Date the Term Loan
Outstandings shall be less than the amount of the payment required to be made
on such Term Loan Payment Date, then the Borrower shall pay the Term Loan
Outstandings in full.

     2.4.   PAYMENT OF INTEREST.  The Borrower shall pay interest on the
outstanding and unpaid principal amount of each Segment of the Term Loan
commencing on the date of determination of the interest rate applicable to
such Segment until such Segment shall be due at the applicable Base Rate or
Eurodollar Rate, as the case may be,  as designated by the Borrower in the
applicable Borrowing Notice or Interest Rate Selection Notice or as otherwise
provided hereunder.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360
days and calculated for actual days elapsed.  Interest on each Segment of the
Term Loan shall be paid on the earlier of (a) in the case of any  Base Rate
Segment, quarterly in arrears of the last Business Day of each March, June,
September and December, commencing on March 31, 1998, until the Term Loan
Termination Date on which date the entire principal amount of and all accrued
interest on the Term Loan shall be paid in full, (b) in the case of any
Eurodollar Rate Segment, on last day of the applicable Interest Period for
such Segment and if such Interest Period extends for more than three (3)
months, at intervals of three (3) months after the first day of such Interest
Period, and (c) upon payment in full of the Term Loan; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that if any amount shall not be paid when due (at maturity, by acceleration
or otherwise), such amount shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate
from date due until paid, PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that if an Event of
Default occurs by reason of such non-payment then, from and after the
occurrence of such Event of Default, and for so long as such Event of Default



                                      30
<PAGE>

shall be continuing,  all amounts outstanding hereunder shall bear interest
thereafter at the Default Rate.

     2.5.   MANNER OF PAYMENT. (a)  Each payment of principal (including
any prepayment) and payment of interest and fees, and any other amount
required to be paid to the Lenders with respect to the Term Loan, shall be
made to the Agent at the Principal Office for the account of each Lender in
Dollars in immediately available funds on or before 12:30 P.M. on the date
such payment is due.  The Agent may upon request of the Borrower, but shall
not be obligated to, debit the amount of such payment from any one or more
ordinary deposit accounts of the Borrower with the Agent.

     (b)    The Agent shall deem any payment made by or on behalf of the
Borrower that is not made both in Dollars in immediately available funds and
prior to 12:30 P.M. on the date such payment is to be made to be a
non-conforming payment.  Any such non-conforming payment shall not be deemed
to be received by the Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become
available funds and (ii) the next Business Day.  Any non-conforming payment
may, to the extent provided in SECTION 11.1, become a Default or Event of
Default. Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a
non-conforming payment is made until the later of (i) the date such funds
become available funds or (ii) the next Business Day at the Default Rate,
from the date such amount was due and payable.

     (c)    In the event that any payment hereunder or under the Term
Notes becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, then such
due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless
provided otherwise under the definition of "Interest Period"; PROVIDED,
however, that interest shall continue to accrue during the period of any such
extension; and PROVIDED further, however, that in no event shall any such due
date be extended beyond the Term Loan Termination Date.

     2.6.   OPTIONAL PREPAYMENTS.  The Borrower may prepay the Term Loan
in whole or in part from time to time on any Business Day, without penalty or
premium, upon not less than three (3) Business Days' prior written notice
(effective upon receipt) to the Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable.
Any prepayment, whether a Base Rate Segment or a Eurodollar Rate Segment,
shall be made at a prepayment price equal to (i) the amount of principal to
be prepaid, plus (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount so
prepaid, to the date of prepayment.  All prepayments under this SECTION 2.6
shall be made in the minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 or any integral
multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or in the entire remaining principal
balance of the Term Loan), and all such prepayments of principal shall be
applied to installments of principal in inverse order of their maturities.
No such prepayment shall result in the payment of any Eurodollar Rate Segment
other than on the last day of the Interest Period of such Segment unless such
prepayment is accompanied by amounts due, if any, under SECTION 6.5.

     2.7.   MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS.  In the event that a mandatory
prepayment is required pursuant to the terms of SECTION 3.13 and the Total
Revolving Credit Commitment on the date of such mandatory prepayment shall be
less than the amount of such mandatory prepayment, then the



                                      31
<PAGE>

Borrower shall permanently reduce the Total Revolving Credit Commitment to
zero and pay the Revolving Credit Outstandings in full and any remaining
amount shall be applied to permanently reduce the Term Loan Outstandings.

The Agent shall give each Lender, within one (1) Business Day, telefacsimile
notice of each notice of prepayment described in this SECTION 2.7. All
mandatory prepayments made pursuant to this SECTION 2.7 shall be applied (as
adjusted to give effect to any prior payments or prepayments of principal) in
inverse order of maturity.  Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Segment
pursuant to this SECTION 2.7 other than on the last day of an Interest Period
shall be accompanied by the additional payment, if any, required by SECTION
6.5.

     2.8.   TERM NOTES.  The portion of the Term Loan made by each Lender
shall be evidenced by the Term Note payable to the order of such Lender in
the respective amount of its Term Loan Commitment, which Term Notes shall be
dated the Closing Date or a later date pursuant to an Assignment and
Acceptance and shall be duly completed, executed and delivered by the
Borrower.

     2.9.   USE OF PROCEEDS.  The proceeds of the Term Loan hereunder shall
be used by the Borrower exclusively to redeem all remaining outstanding
Subordinated Notes and after giving effect thereto no Subordinated Notes
shall be outstanding.

     2.10.  INTEREST PERIODS.  The Term Loan shall be, at the option of the
Borrower specified in an Interest Rate Selection Notice, comprised of either
Eurodollar Rate Segments or Base Rate Segments.  Eurodollar Rate Segments and
Base Rate Segments may be outstanding at the same time, PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
there shall not be outstanding at any one time Eurodollar Rate Loans
(including Revolving Loans) and Eurodollar Rate Segments having more than ten
(10) different Interest Periods; PROVIDED, FURTHER, from the Closing Date
until the earlier of (A) the expiration of 180 days or (B) the date on which
NMS notifies the Borrower of the end of the syndication, Interest Periods
shall be limited to one month and outstanding Loans bearing interest at the
Eurodollar Rate shall be for Interest Periods ending on the same date.  If
the Agent does not receive an Interest Rate Selection Notice giving notice of
election of the duration of an Interest Period or of Conversion of any
Segment to or Continuation of a Segment as a Eurodollar Rate Segment by the
time prescribed by SECTION 2.11, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected
to Convert such Segment to (or Continue such Segment as) a Base Rate Segment
until the Borrower notifies the Agent in accordance with SECTION 2.11.

     2.11.  CONVERSIONS AND ELECTIONS OF SUBSEQUENT INTEREST PERIODS. Subject
to the limitations set forth below and in ARTICLE VI, the Borrower may:

            (a)  upon delivery (effective upon receipt) of a properly
     completed Interest Rate Selection Notice to the Agent on or before 10:30
     A.M. on any Business Day, Convert any Eurodollar Rate Segment to a Base
     Rate Segment on the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar
     Rate Segment; and



                                      32
<PAGE>


            (b)  provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have
     occurred and be continuing, upon delivery (effective upon receipt) of a
     properly completed Interest Rate Selection Notice to the Agent on or before
     10:30 A.M. three (3) Business Days' prior to the date of such Conversion:

                 (i)   elect a subsequent Interest Period for any
            Eurodollar Rate Segment to begin on the last day of the then
            current Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Segment; and

                 (ii)  Convert any Base Rate Segment to a Eurodollar Rate
            Segment on any Business Day.

     Each Conversion pursuant to this SECTION 2.11 shall be subject to the
limitations on Eurodollar Rate Loans set forth in the definition of "Interest
Period" herein and in SECTIONS 2.1, 2.10 and ARTICLE VI.  The Agent shall
give written notice to each Lender of such notice of Conversion prior to 3:00
P.M. on the day such notice of election or Conversion is received.  All such
Continuations or Conversions of Loans shall be effected pro rata based on the
Applicable Commitment Percentages of the Lenders.

     2.12.  UNUSED FEE.  For the period beginning on the Closing Date and
ending on the first to occur of (a) the Term Loan Termination Date, and (b)
the Term Loan Advance Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for the
pro rata benefit of the Lenders based on their Applicable Commitment
Percentages, an unused fee equal to the Applicable Unused Fee multiplied by
the Total Term Loan Commitment.  Such fee shall be due in arrears on the last
Business Day of each March, June, September and December commencing March 31,
1998 to and on the Term Loan Advance Date.  Such fee shall be calculated on
the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed.  A
Lender shall not be entitled to receive payment of its pro rata share of such
fee if it shall not make available its Applicable Commitment Percentage of
the Term Loan. In addition, a Lender shall not accrue its pro rata share of
such fee during any period in which it has without proper cause failed to
Advance its portion of the Term Loan.

     2.13.  PRO RATA PAYMENTS.  Except as otherwise provided herein, (a) each
payment on account of the principal of and interest on the Term Loan and the
fee described in SECTION 2.12 shall be made to the Agent for the account of
the Lenders pro rata based on their Applicable Commitment Percentages, (b)
all payments to be made by the Borrower for the account of each of the
Lenders on account of principal, interest and fees, shall be made without
diminution, set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, and (c) the Agent will
promptly distribute to the Lenders in immediately available funds payments
received in fully collected, immediately available funds from the Borrower.

                                  ARTICLE III

                         THE REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

     3.1.   REVOLVING LOANS.

            (a)  COMMITMENT.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, each Lender severally agrees to make Advances to the Borrower
under the Revolving Credit Facility from time to time from the Closing Date
until the Revolving Credit Termination Date on a pro rata basis as to the
total borrowing requested by the Borrower on any day determined by such
Lender's Applicable Commitment Percentage up to but not exceeding the
Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender, PROVIDED, however, that the
Lenders will not be required and shall have no obligation to make any such
Advance (i) so long as a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or (ii) if the Agent has accelerated the maturity of any of the
Notes as a result of an Event of Default; PROVIDED further, however, that
immediately after giving effect to each such Advance and any concurrent
reduction of Revolving Loans with the proceeds of such Advance, the principal
amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings plus Letter of Credit Outstandings
plus Swing Line Outstandings shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit
Commitment.  Within such limits, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow
under the Revolving Credit Facility on a Business Day from the Closing Date
until, but (as to borrowings and reborrowings) not including, the Revolving
Credit Termination Date; PROVIDED, however, that (y) no Revolving Loan that
is a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made which has an Interest Period that
extends beyond the Stated Termination Date and (z) each Revolving Loan that
is a Eurodollar Rate Loan may, subject to the provisions of SECTION 3.7, be
repaid only on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto
unless such payment is accompanied by the additional payment, if any,
required by SECTION 6.5.

            (b)  AMOUNTS.  Except as otherwise permitted by the Lenders from
time to time, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit
Outstandings plus Letter of Credit Outstandings plus Swing Line Outstandings
shall not exceed at any time the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, and, in
the event there shall be outstanding any such excess, the Borrower shall
immediately make such payments and prepayments as shall be necessary to
comply with this restriction.  Each Revolving Loan hereunder, other than Base
Rate Refunding Loans, and each Conversion under SECTION 3.8, shall be in an
amount of at least $5,000,000, and, if greater than $5,000,000, an integral
multiple of $500,000.

            (c)  ADVANCES. (i)  An Authorized Representative shall give the
Agent (1) at least three (3) Business Days' irrevocable written notice by
telefacsimile transmission of a Borrowing Notice or Interest Rate Selection
Notice (as applicable) with appropriate insertions, effective upon receipt,
of each Revolving Loan that is a Eurodollar Rate Loan (whether representing
an additional borrowing hereunder or the Conversion of a borrowing hereunder
from Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans) prior to 11:30 A.M. and (2)
irrevocable written notice by telefacsimile transmission of a Borrowing
Notice or Interest Rate Selection Notice (as applicable) with appropriate
insertions, effective upon receipt, of each Revolving Loan (other than Base
Rate Refunding Loans



                                      34
<PAGE>

to the extent the same are effected without notice pursuant to SECTION
3.1(c)(iv)) that is a Base Rate Loan (whether representing an additional
borrowing hereunder or the Conversion of borrowing hereunder from Eurodollar
Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans) prior to 11:30 A.M. on the day of such
proposed Revolving Loan.  Each such notice shall specify the amount of the
borrowing, the Type of Revolving Loan (Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate), the
date of borrowing and, if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Interest Period to be
used in the computation of interest.   Notice of receipt of such Borrowing
Notice or Interest Rate Selection Notice, as the case may be, together with
the amount of each Lender's portion of an Advance requested thereunder, shall
be provided by the Agent to each Lender by telefacsimile transmission with
reasonable promptness, but (provided the Agent shall have received such
notice by 11:30 A.M.) not later than 1:00 P.M. on the same day as the Agent's
receipt of such notice.

     (ii)   Not later than 3:00 P.M. on the date specified for each borrowing
under this SECTION 3.1, each Lender shall, pursuant to the terms and subject
to the conditions of this Agreement, make the amount of the Advance or
Advances to be made by it on such day available by wire transfer to the Agent
in the amount of its pro rata share, determined according to such Lender's
Applicable Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans to
be made on such day. Such wire transfer shall be directed to the Agent at the
Principal Office and shall be in the form of Dollars constituting immediately
available funds.  The amount so received by the Agent shall, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the Borrower by
delivery of the proceeds thereof to the Borrower's Account or otherwise as
shall be directed in the applicable Borrowing Notice by the Authorized
Representative and reasonably acceptable to the Agent.

     (iii)  The Borrower shall have the option to elect the duration of the
initial and any subsequent Interest Periods and to Convert the Revolving
Loans in accordance with SECTION 3.8. Eurodollar Rate Loans and Base Rate
Loans may be outstanding at the same time, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, there shall not
be outstanding at any one time Eurodollar Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate
Segments having more than ten (10) different Interest Periods;  PROVIDED,
FURTHER, from the Closing Date until the earlier of (A) the expiration of 180
days or (B) the date on which NMS notifies the Borrower of the end of the
syndication, Interest Periods shall be limited to one month and outstanding
Loans bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate shall be for Interest Periods
ending on the same date.   If the Agent does not receive a Borrowing Notice
or an Interest Rate Selection Notice giving notice of election of the
duration of an Interest Period or of Conversion of any Loan to or
Continuation of a Loan as a Eurodollar Rate Loan by the time prescribed by
SECTION 3.1(c) OR 3.8, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to
Convert such Loan to (or Continue such Loan as) a Base Rate Loan until the
Borrower notifies the Agent in accordance with SECTION 3.8.

     (iv)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a drawing is made under any
Letter of Credit, such drawing is honored by the Issuing Bank prior to the
Stated Termination Date, then (A) provided that the conditions to making a
Revolving Loan as herein provided shall then be satisfied, the Reimbursement
Obligation arising from such drawing shall be paid to the Issuing Bank by the
Agent without the requirement of notice to or from the Borrower from
immediately available funds which shall be advanced as a Base Rate Refunding
Loan by each Lender under the Revolving Credit



                                      35
<PAGE>

Facility in an amount equal to such Lender's Applicable Commitment Percentage
of such Reimbursement Obligation, and (B) if the conditions to making a
Revolving Loan as herein provided shall not then be satisfied, each of the
Lenders shall fund by payment to the Agent (for the benefit of the Issuing
Bank) in immediately available funds the purchase from the Issuing Bank of
their respective Participations in the related Reimbursement Obligation based
on their respective Applicable Commitment Percentages of the Total Letter of
Credit Commitment.  If a drawing is presented under any Letter of Credit in
accordance with the terms thereof and the Borrower shall not immediately
reimburse the Issuing Bank in respect thereof, then notice of such drawing or
payment shall be provided promptly by the Issuing Bank to the Agent and the
Agent shall provide notice to each Lender by telephone or telefacsimile
transmission.  If notice to the Lenders of a drawing under any Letter of
Credit is given by the Agent at or before 12:00 noon on any Business Day,
each Lender shall, pursuant to the conditions specified in this SECTION
3.1(c)(iv), either make a Base Rate Refunding Loan or fund the purchase of
its Participation in the amount of such Lender's Applicable Commitment
Percentage of such drawing or payment and shall pay such amount to the Agent
for the account of the Issuing Bank at the Principal Office in Dollars and in
immediately available funds before 2:30 P.M. on the same Business Day.  If
notice to the Lenders of a drawing under a Letter of Credit is given by the
Agent after 12:00 noon on any Business Day, each Lender shall, pursuant to
the conditions specified in this SECTION 3.1(c)(iv), either make a Base Rate
Refunding Loan or fund the purchase of its Participation in the amount of
such Lender's Applicable Commitment Percentage of such drawing or payment and
shall pay such amount to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at the
Principal Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds before 12:00
noon on the next following Business Day.  Any such Base Rate Refunding Loan
shall be advanced as, and shall Continue as, a Base Rate Loan unless and
until the Borrower Converts such Base Rate Loan in accordance with the terms
of SECTION 3.8.

     3.2.   PAYMENT OF INTEREST. (a)  The Borrower shall pay interest to the
Agent for the account of each Lender on the outstanding and unpaid principal
amount of each Revolving Loan made by such Lender for the period commencing
on the date of such Revolving Loan until such Revolving Loan shall be due at
the then applicable Base Rate for Base Rate Loans or applicable Eurodollar
Rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans, as designated by the Authorized
Representative pursuant to SECTION 3.1; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any amount
shall not be paid when due (at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such
amount shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate from date due until
paid, PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that if an Event of Default occurs by
reason of such non-payment, then, from and after the occurrence of such Event
of Default and for so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, all
amounts outstanding hereunder (including such amount) shall bear interest at
the Default Rate.

            (b)  Interest on each Revolving Loan shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days and calculated in each case for the actual number
of days elapsed.  Interest on each Revolving Loan shall be paid (i) quarterly
in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and
December, commencing March 31, 1998 for each Base Rate Loan, (ii) on the last
day of the applicable Interest Period for each Eurodollar Rate Loan and, if
such Interest Period extends



                                      36
<PAGE>

for more than three (3) months, at intervals of three (3) months after the
first day of such Interest Period, and (iii) upon payment in full of the
principal amount of such Revolving Loan.

     3.3.   PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL.  The principal amount of each Revolving
Loan shall be due and payable to the Agent for the benefit of each Lender in
full on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, or earlier as specifically
provided herein.  The principal amount of any Base Rate Loan may be prepaid
in whole or in part at any time.  The principal amount of any Eurodollar Rate
Loan may be prepaid only at the end of the applicable Interest Period unless
the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders the
additional amount, if any, required under SECTION 6.5. All prepayments of
Revolving Loans made by the Borrower shall be in the amount of $5,000,000 or
such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $500,000, or the amount
equal to all Revolving Credit Outstandings, or such other amount as necessary
to comply with SECTION 3.1(B) or SECTION 3.8.

     3.4.   NON-CONFORMING PAYMENTS. (a)  Each payment of principal
(including any prepayment) and payment of interest and fees, and any other
amount required to be paid to the Lenders with respect to the Revolving
Loans, shall be made to the Agent at the Principal Office, for the account of
each Lender, in Dollars and in immediately available funds before 12:30 P.M.
on the date such payment is due.  The Agent may upon request of the Borrower,
but shall not be obligated to, debit the amount of any such payment which is
not made by such time to any ordinary deposit account, if any, of the
Borrower with the Agent.

     (b)    The Agent shall deem any payment made by or on behalf of the
Borrower hereunder that is not made both in Dollars and in immediately
available funds and prior to 12:30 P.M. to be a non-conforming payment.  Any
such payment shall not be deemed to be received by the Agent until the later
of (i) the time such funds become available funds and (ii) the next Business
Day.  Any non-conforming payment may, to the extent provided in SECTION 11.1,
become a Default or Event of Default.  Interest shall continue to accrue on
any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until the later of
(x) the date such funds become available funds or (y) the next Business Day
at the Default Rate from the date such amount was due and payable.

     (c)    In the event that any payment hereunder or under the Revolving
Notes becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, then such
due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless
provided otherwise under clause (ii) of the definition of "Interest Period";
PROVIDED that interest shall continue to accrue during the period of any such
extension and PROVIDED further, that in no event shall any such due date be
extended beyond the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

     3.5.   REVOLVING NOTES. Revolving Loans made by each Lender shall be
evidenced by the Revolving Note payable to the order of such Lender in the
respective amount of its Applicable Commitment Percentage of the Revolving
Credit Commitment, which Revolving Note shall be dated the Closing Date or a
later date pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance and shall be duly
completed, executed and delivered by the Borrower.



                                      37
<PAGE>

     3.6.   PRO RATA PAYMENTS.  Except as otherwise provided herein, (a) each
payment on account of the principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans
and the fee described in SECTION 3.10 shall be made to the Agent for the
account of the Lenders pro rata based on their Applicable Commitment
Percentages, (b) all payments to be made by the Borrower for the account of
each of the Lenders on account of principal, interest and fees, shall be made
without diminution, setoff, recoupment or counterclaim, and (c) the Agent
will promptly distribute to the Lenders in immediately available funds
payments received in fully collected, immediately available funds from the
Borrower.

     3.7.   REDUCTIONS.  The Borrower shall, by notice from an Authorized
Representative, have the right from time to time but not more frequently than
once each calendar month (excluding prepayments made pursuant to SECTION
3.13), upon not less than three (3) Business Days' written notice to the
Agent, effective upon receipt, to permanently reduce the Total Revolving
Credit Commitment. The Agent shall give each Lender, within one (1) Business
Day of receipt of such notice, telefacsimile notice, or telephonic notice
(confirmed in writing), of such reduction.  Each such reduction shall be in
the aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or such greater amount which is in an
integral multiple of $500,000, or the entire remaining Total Revolving Credit
Commitment, and shall permanently reduce the Total Revolving Credit
Commitment.  Each reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall be
accompanied by payment of the Revolving Loans to the extent that the
principal amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings plus Letter of Credit
Outstandings plus Swing Line Outstandings exceeds the Total Revolving Credit
Commitment after giving effect to such reduction, together with accrued and
unpaid interest on the amounts prepaid.  No such reduction shall result in
the payment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan other than on the last day of the
Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan unless such prepayment is
accompanied by amounts due, if any, under SECTION 6.5.

     3.8.   CONVERSIONS AND ELECTIONS OF SUBSEQUENT INTEREST PERIODS. Subject
to the limitations set forth below and in ARTICLE VI, the Borrower may:

            (a)  upon delivery, effective upon receipt, of a properly
completed Interest Rate Selection Notice to the Agent on or before 10:30 A.M.
on any Business Day, Convert all or a part of Eurodollar Rate Loans under the
Revolving Credit Facility to Base Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest
Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loans; and

            (b)  provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing,  upon delivery, effective upon receipt, of a
properly completed Interest Rate Selection Notice to the Agent on or before
10:30 A.M. three (3) Business Days' prior to the date of such election or
Conversion:

                 (i)  elect a subsequent Interest Period for all or a
            portion of Eurodollar Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit
            Facility to begin on the last day of the then current Interest
            Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loans; and



                                      38
<PAGE>

                 (ii) Convert Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit
            Facility to Eurodollar Rate Loans on any Business Day.

     Each election and Conversion pursuant to this SECTION 3.8 shall be
subject to the limitations on Eurodollar Rate Loans set forth in the
definition of "Interest Period" herein and in SECTIONS 3.1, 3.3 and ARTICLE
VI.  The Agent shall give written notice to each Lender of such notice of
election or Conversion prior to 3:00 P.M. on the day such notice of election
or Conversion is received.  All such Continuations or Conversions of Loans
shall be effected pro rata based on the Applicable Commitment Percentages of
the Lenders.

     3.9.   INCREASE AND DECREASE IN AMOUNTS.  The amount of the Total
Revolving Credit Commitment which shall be available to the Borrower as
Advances shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of Letters of Credit
Outstandings and Swing Line Loans Outstandings.

     3.10.  UNUSED FEE.  For the period beginning on the Closing Date and
ending on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the Borrower agrees to pay
to the Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders based on their
Applicable Commitment Percentages, an unused fee equal to the Applicable
Unused Fee multiplied by the average daily amount by which the Total
Revolving Credit Commitment exceeds the sum of (i) Revolving Credit
Outstandings without giving effect to Swing Line Outstandings plus (ii)
Letter of Credit Outstandings.  Such fee shall be due in arrears on the last
Business Day of each March, June, September and December commencing March 31,
1998 to and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, so long as any Lender fails to make available any portion of its
Revolving Credit Commitment when requested, such Lender shall not be entitled
to receive or accrue payment of its pro rata share of such fee until such
Lender shall make available such portion.  Such fee shall be calculated on
the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed.

     3.11.  DEFICIENCY ADVANCES.  No Lender shall be responsible for any
default of any other Lender in respect to such other Lender's obligation to
make any Loan or fund its purchase of any Participation hereunder nor shall
the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender hereunder be increased as a
result of such default of any other Lender.  Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, in the event any Lender shall fail to advance funds to the
Borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility as herein provided, the Agent
may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, advance under the
Revolving Note in its favor as a Lender all or any portion of such amount or
amounts (each, a "deficiency advance") and shall thereafter be entitled to
payments of principal of and interest on such deficiency advance in the same
manner and at the same interest rate or rates to which such other Lender
would have been entitled had it made such advance under its Revolving Note;
provided that, upon payment to the Agent from such other Lender of the entire
outstanding amount of each such deficiency advance, together with accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, from the most recent date or dates interest was paid
to the Agent by the Borrower on each Revolving Loan comprising the deficiency
advance at the interest rate per annum for overnight borrowing by the Agent
from the Federal Reserve Bank, then such payment shall be credited against
the applicable Revolving Note of the Agent in full payment of such deficiency
advance and the Borrower shall be



                                      39

<PAGE>

deemed to have borrowed the amount of such deficiency advance from such other
Lender as of the most recent date or dates, as the case may be, upon which
any payments of interest were made by the Borrower thereon.

     3.12.  USE OF PROCEEDS.  The proceeds of the Loans made pursuant to the
Revolving Credit Facility hereunder shall be used by the Borrower for general
working capital needs  and other lawful corporate purposes, including the
making of Acquisitions and Capital Expenditures permitted hereunder,
purchases for cancellation and redemptions of Subordinated Notes in
accordance with the provisions of the Subordinated Notes and refinancing
existing Indebtedness as permitted hereunder.

     3.13.  MANDATORY REDUCTIONS.  The Borrower shall make the following
required permanent reductions in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and
prepayments of the Revolving Credit Outstandings and all interest accrued
thereon (to the extent required hereunder) within the time period specified
below:

            (a)  from the Net Issuance Proceeds of each public offering or
     private placement of Indebtedness for Money Borrowed or Subordinated
     Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary permitted hereunder (other
     than securities issued to the Borrower or another Subsidiary) in an amount
     equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Issuance Proceeds, each
     such reduction and prepayment to be made within ten (10) Business Days of
     receipt of such Net Issuance Proceeds and upon not less than five (5)
     Business Days' written notice to the Agent, which notice shall include a
     certificate of an Authorized Representative setting forth in reasonable
     detail the calculations utilized in computing the amount of such reduction
     and prepayment; provided, that no prepayment shall be required with
     proceeds of Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under SECTION 10.5.

            (b)  from the Net Cash Proceeds of each Asset Sale permitted
     hereunder in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Cash
     Proceeds which (A) exceed $500,000 for any single or series of related
     transactions or (B) when aggregated with all other Net Cash Proceeds from
     Asset Sales received during any Fiscal Year exceed $1,000,000,  in each
     case, in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds
     in excess of such threshold amounts; PROVIDED, however, that no reduction
     or prepayment will be required under this SECTION 3.13(b) for up to
     $1,000,000 of Net Cash Proceeds received in any Fiscal Year to the extent
     reinvested in  assets similar to those subject to the Asset Sale and
     utilized in the operation of the Borrower's or any of its Subsidiaries'
     business so long as reinvested in such Fiscal Year or within 90 days of the
     end of such Fiscal Year.  Each such reduction and prepayment to be made
     within ten (10) Business Days following the expiration of the 90 day period
     referred to in the preceding sentence and upon not less than five (5)
     Business Days' written notice to the Agent, which notice shall include a
     certificate of an Authorized Representative setting forth in reasonable
     detail the calculations utilized in computing the amount of such reduction
     and prepayment; PROVIDED, that no reduction or



                                      40
<PAGE>

     prepayment shall be required from the Net Cash Proceeds of a sale and
     leaseback permitted under SECTION 10.13.

The Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall be reduced by the amount of Net
Issuance Proceeds and Net Cash Proceeds set forth in clauses (a) and (b)
above. To the extent that the principal amount of Revolving Credit
Outstandings plus Letter of Credit Outstandings plus Swing Line Outstandings
exceeds the Total Revolving Credit Commitment after giving effect to such
reduction,  the Borrower shall repay the Revolving Loans to the extent of
such excess, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Agent
for the benefit of the Lenders.

The Agent shall give each Lender, within one (1) Business Day, telefacsimile
notice of each notice of prepayment described in clauses (a) and (b) of this
SECTION 3.13. All mandatory prepayments made pursuant to this SECTION 3.13
shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Credit Outstandings based on each
Lender's Applicable Commitment Percentage, such payments to be applied first
to any outstanding Base Rate Loans and thereafter to Eurodollar Rate Loans.
Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan pursuant to this SECTION 3.13 other
than on the last day of an Interest Period shall be accompanied by the
additional payment, if any, required by SECTION 6.5.

     3.14.  SWING LINE. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, in order to administer the Revolving Credit
Facility in an efficient manner and to minimize the transfer of funds between
the Agent and the Lenders, NationsBank shall make available Swing Line Loans
to the Borrower prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date.  NationsBank
shall not make any Swing Line Loan pursuant hereto (i) if to the actual
knowledge of NationsBank the Borrower is not in compliance with all the
conditions to the making of Revolving Loans set forth in this Agreement, (ii)
if after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Outstandings
exceed $10,000,000, or (iii) if after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan,
the sum of the Swing Line Outstandings, Revolving Credit Outstandings and
Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Total Revolving Credit Commitment.
The Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow under this SECTION 3.14.  Unless
notified to the contrary by NationsBank, borrowings under the Swing Line
shall be made in the minimum amount of $500,000 or, if greater, in amounts
which are integral multiples of $100,000, or in the amount necessary to
effect a Base Rate Refunding Loan, upon written request by telefacsimile
transmission, effective upon receipt, by an Authorized Representative of the
Borrower made to NationsBank not later than 12:30 P.M. on the Business Day of
the requested borrowing.  Each such Borrowing Notice shall specify the amount
of the borrowing and the date of borrowing, and shall be in the form of
EXHIBIT D-2, with appropriate insertions.  Unless notified to the contrary by
NationsBank, each repayment of a Swing Line Loan shall be in an amount which
is an integral multiple of $100,000 or the aggregate amount of all Swing Line
Outstandings.  If the Borrower instructs NationsBank to debit any demand
deposit account of the Borrower in the amount of any payment with respect to
a Swing Line Loan, or NationsBank otherwise receives repayment, after 12:30
P.M. on a Business Day, such payment shall be deemed received on the next
Business Day.



                                      41
<PAGE>

     (b)    Swing Line Loans shall bear interest at the Prime Rate minus
0.5%.  The interest payable on Swing Line Loans is solely for the account of
NationsBank, and all accrued and unpaid interest on Swing Line Loans shall be
payable on the dates and in the manner provided in SECTIONS 3.2(b) AND 3.4
with respect to interest on Base Rate Loans.  The Swing Line Outstandings
shall be evidenced by the Swing Line Note delivered to NationsBank.

     (c)    Upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed
to have purchased from NationsBank a Participation therein in an amount equal
to that Lender's Applicable Commitment Percentage of such Swing Line Loan.
Upon demand made by NationsBank, each Lender shall, according to its
Applicable Commitment Percentage of such Swing Line Loan, promptly provide to
NationsBank its purchase price therefor in an amount equal to its
Participation therein. Any Advance made by a Lender pursuant to demand of
NationsBank of the purchase price of its Participation shall be deemed (i)
provided that the conditions to making Revolving Loans shall be satisfied, a
Base Rate Refunding Loan under SECTION 3.1 until the Borrower Converts such
Base Rate Loan in accordance with the terms of SECTION 3.8, and (ii) in all
other cases, the funding by each Lender of the purchase price of its
Participation in such Swing Line Loan.  The obligation of each Lender to so
provide its purchase price to NationsBank shall be absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by the occurrence of an Event of Default or any
other occurrence or event.

     The Borrower, at its option and subject to the terms hereof, may request
an Advance pursuant to SECTION 3.1 in an amount sufficient to repay Swing
Line Outstandings on any date and the Agent shall provide from the proceeds
of such Advance to NationsBank the amount necessary to repay such Swing Line
Outstandings (which NationsBank shall then apply to such repayment) and
credit any balance of the Advance in immediately available funds in the
manner directed by the Borrower pursuant to SECTION 3.1(c)(ii).  The proceeds
of such Advances shall be paid to NationsBank for application to the Swing
Line Outstandings and the Lenders shall then be deemed to have made Loans in
the amount of such Advances.  The Swing Line shall continue in effect until
the earlier of (a) the Revolving Credit Termination Date and (b) the
resignation of NationsBank as Agent pursuant to SECTION 12.7, at which time
all Swing Line Outstandings and accrued interest thereon shall be due and
payable in full.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                               LETTERS OF CREDIT

     4.1.   LETTERS OF CREDIT.  The Issuing Bank agrees, subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, upon request of the Borrower to issue from
time to time for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries Letters of
Credit upon delivery to the Issuing Bank of an Application and Agreement for
Letter of Credit relating thereto in form and content acceptable to the
Issuing Bank; PROVIDED, that (i) the Letter of Credit Outstandings shall not
exceed the Total Letter of Credit Commitment and (ii) no Letter of Credit
shall be issued if, after giving effect thereto, Letter of Credit
Outstandings plus Revolving Credit Outstandings plus Swing Line Outstandings
shall exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment.  No Letter of Credit
shall have an expiry date (including all rights of the Borrower or any
beneficiary named in such Letter of Credit to require renewal) or payment
date occurring later than the earlier to occur of one year after the date of
its issuance or the fifth Business Day prior to the Stated Termination Date.

     4.2.   REIMBURSEMENT.

            (a)  The Borrower hereby unconditionally agrees to pay to the
Issuing Bank immediately on demand at the Principal Office all amounts
required to pay all drafts drawn or purporting to be drawn under the Letters
of Credit and all reasonable expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in
connection with the Letters of Credit.  The Issuing Bank agrees to give the
Borrower prompt notice of any request for a draw under a Letter of Credit.
To the extent the Issuing Bank is not reimbursed by the Agent for a drawing
as provided in SECTION 3.1(c)(iv), the Issuing Bank may charge any account
the Borrower may have with it for any and all amounts the Issuing Bank pays
under a Letter of Credit, plus charges and reasonable expenses as from time
to time agreed to by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower; provided that to the
extent permitted by SECTION 3.1(c)(iv) and SECTION 3.14, amounts shall be
paid pursuant to Advances under the Revolving Credit Facility or, if the
Borrower shall elect by notice to the Agent prior to an Advance pursuant to
SECTION 3.1(c)(iv), by Swing Line Loans.  The Borrower agrees to pay the
Issuing Bank interest on any Reimbursement Obligations not paid when due
hereunder at the Base Rate plus two percent (2.0%), or the maximum rate
permitted by applicable law, if lower, such rate to be calculated on the
basis of a year of 360 days for actual days elapsed.

            (b)  In accordance with the provisions of SECTION 3.1(c), the
Issuing Bank shall notify the Agent of any drawing under any Letter of Credit
promptly following the receipt by the Issuing Bank of such drawing.

            (c)  Each Lender (other than the Issuing Bank) shall
automatically acquire on the date of issuance thereof, a Participation in the
liability of the Issuing Bank in respect of each Letter of Credit in an
amount equal to such Lender's Applicable Commitment Percentage of such
liability, and to the extent that the Borrower is obligated to pay the
Issuing Bank under SECTION 4.2(a), each Lender (other than the Issuing Bank)
thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably



                                      43
<PAGE>

assume, and shall be unconditionally obligated to pay to the Issuing Bank as
hereinafter described, its Applicable Commitment Percentage of the liability
of the Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit.

                    (i)    Each Lender (including the Issuing Bank in its
               capacity as a Lender) shall, subject to the terms and conditions
               of ARTICLE III, pay to the Agent for the account of the Issuing
               Bank at the Principal Office in Dollars and in immediately
               available funds, an amount equal to its Applicable Commitment
               Percentage of any drawing under a Letter of Credit, such funds to
               be provided in the manner described in SECTION 3.1(c)(iv).

                    (ii)   Simultaneously with the making of each payment by a
               Lender to the Issuing Bank pursuant to SECTION 3.1(c)(iv)(B),
               such Lender shall, automatically and without any further action
               on the part of the Issuing Bank or such Lender, acquire a
               Participation in an amount equal to such payment (excluding the
               portion thereof constituting interest accrued prior to the date
               the Lender made its payment) in the related Reimbursement
               Obligation of the Borrower.  The Reimbursement Obligation of the
               Borrower shall be immediately due and payable whether by Advances
               made in accordance with SECTION 3.1(c)(iv), Swing Line Loans made
               in accordance with SECTION 3.14, or otherwise.

                    (iii)  Each Lender's obligation to make payment to the
               Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank pursuant to SECTION
               3.1(c)(iv) and this SECTION 4.2(c), and the right of the Issuing
               Bank to receive the same, shall be absolute and unconditional,
               shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever and shall be
               made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction
               whatsoever.  If any Lender is obligated to pay but does not pay
               amounts to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank in full
               upon such request as required by SECTION 3.1(c)(iv) or this
               SECTION 4.2(c), such Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Agent
               for the account of the Issuing Bank interest on the unpaid amount
               for each day during the period commencing on the date of notice
               given to such Lender pursuant to SECTION 3.1(c) until such Lender
               pays such amount to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank
               in full at the interest rate per annum for overnight borrowing by
               the Issuing Bank from the Federal Reserve Bank.

                    (iv)   In the event the Lenders have purchased
               Participations in any Reimbursement Obligation as set forth in
               clause (ii) above, then at any time payment (in fully collected,
               immediately available funds) of such Reimbursement Obligation, in
               whole or in part, is received by Issuing Bank from the Borrower,
               the Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to each Lender an amount
               equal to its Applicable Commitment Percentage of such payment
               from the Borrower.

               (d)  Promptly following the end of each calendar quarter, the
Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Agent a notice describing the aggregate
undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit at the end of such quarter and the
Agent shall deliver a copy of such notice to the Lenders.  Upon the request
of any Lender from time to time, the Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Agent,
and the Agent shall deliver to such Lender, any other information reasonably
requested by such Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit outstanding.

               (e)  The issuance by the Issuing Bank of each Letter of Credit
shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in ARTICLE VII, be
subject to the conditions that such Letter of Credit be in such form and
contain such terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank
consistent with the then current practices and procedures of the Issuing Bank
with respect to similar letters of credit, and the Borrower shall have
executed and delivered such other instruments and agreements relating to such
Letters of Credit as the Issuing Bank shall have reasonably requested
consistent with such practices and procedures and shall not be in conflict
with any of the express terms herein contained.  All Letters of Credit shall
be issued pursuant to and subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice for
Documentary Credits, 1993 revision, International Chamber of Commerce
Publication No. 500 and all subsequent amendments and revisions thereto.  To
the extent that any provision contained in the Applications and Agreements
for Letters of Credit shall be in conflict, this Agreement shall control.

               (f)  The Borrower agrees that the Issuing Bank may, in its
sole discretion, accept or pay, as complying with the terms of any Letter of
Credit, any drafts or other documents otherwise in order which may be signed
or issued by an administrator, executor, trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in
possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver,
attorney in fact or other legal representative of a party who is authorized
under such Letter of Credit to draw or issue any drafts or other documents.

               (g)  Without limiting the generality of the provisions of
SECTION 13.9 but subject to the limitation on liability set forth therein,
the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuing Bank,
each other Lender and the Agent from and against any and all claims and
damages, losses, liabilities, reasonable costs and expenses which the Issuing
Bank, such other Lender or the Agent may incur (or which may be claimed
against the Issuing Bank, such other Lender or the Agent) by any Person by
reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of or payment or
failure to pay under any Letter of Credit; provided that the Borrower shall
not be required to indemnify the Issuing Bank, any other Lender or the Agent
for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the
extent, but only to the extent, (i) caused by the willful misconduct or gross
negligence of the party to be indemnified or (ii) caused by the failure of
the Issuing Bank to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to
it of a request for payment strictly complying with the terms and conditions
of such Letter of Credit, unless such payment is prohibited by any law,
regulation, court order or decree. The indemnification and hold harmless
provisions of this SECTION 4.2(g) shall survive repayment of the Obligations,
occurrence of the Revolving Credit Termination Date and expiration or
termination of this Agreement.

               (h)  Without limiting Borrower's rights as set forth in
SECTION 4.2(g), the obligation of the Borrower to immediately reimburse the
Issuing Bank for drawings made under Letters of Credit and the Issuing Bank's
right to receive such payment shall be absolute, unconditional and
irrevocable, and that such obligations of the Borrower shall be performed
strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such Letters of
Credit and the related Applications and Agreements for any Letter of Credit,
under all circumstances whatsoever, including the following circumstances:

                    (i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of the Letter
               of Credit, the obligation supported by the Letter of Credit or
               any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (collectively,
               the "Related LC Documents");

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

                    (iii)  the existence of any claim, setoff, defense (other
               than the defense of payment in accordance with the terms of this
               Agreement) or other rights which the Borrower may have at any
               time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of
               Credit (or any persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary
               or any such transferee may be acting), the Agent, the Lenders or
               any other Person, whether in connection with the Loan Documents,
               the Related LC Documents or any unrelated transaction;

                    (iv)   any breach of contract or other dispute between the
               Borrower and any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of
               Credit (or any persons or entities for whom such beneficiary or
               any such transferee may be acting), the Agent, the Lenders or any
               other Person;

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

                    (vi)   any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or
               other indulgence or modification granted or agreed to by the
               Agent, with or without notice to or approval by the Borrower in
               respect of any of the Obligations under this Agreement; or

                    (vii)  any other circumstance or happening whatsoever,
               whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

     4.3.      LETTER OF CREDIT FACILITY FEES.  The Borrower shall pay to the
Agent, (i) for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders based on their Applicable
Commitment Percentages, a fee on the aggregate amount available to be drawn
on each outstanding Letter of Credit at a rate equal to the



                                      46
<PAGE>

Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans, and
(ii) for the Issuing Bank, 0.125% based on the aggregate amount available to
be drawn on each outstanding Letter of Credit.  Such fees shall be computed
on a per annum basis and shall be due with respect to each Letter of Credit
quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and
December, the first such payment to be made on the first such date occurring
after the date of issuance of a Letter of Credit.  The fees described in this
SECTION 4.3 shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the
actual number of days elapsed.

     4.4.   ADMINISTRATIVE FEES.  The Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Bank
such administrative fee and other fees, if any, in connection with the
Letters of Credit in such amounts and at such times as the Issuing Bank and
the Borrower shall agree from time to time.

                               CREDIT ENHANCEMENT

     5.1.   GUARANTY.   To guarantee the full and timely payment and
performance of all Obligations now existing or hereafter arising, the
Borrower shall cause the Facility Guaranty to be  delivered by the Parent and
each Subsidiary in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Agent on
or before the Closing Date.  The Borrower hereby agrees to cause a Facility
Guaranty to be delivered by any hereafter acquired or created Subsidiary
pursuant to the terms of SECTION 9.19.  The guarantee of Southwest Coca-Cola
Bottling Company, Inc. shall terminate upon its merger into the Borrower.
Dani shall be released from the Facility Guaranty upon the Dani Disposition.

     5.2.   STOCK PLEDGE.  (a) As security for the full and timely payment
and performance of (i) all Obligations now existing or hereafter arising and
(ii) if applicable, its obligations as a Guarantor under the Facility
Guaranty, the Loan Parties shall on or before the Closing Date deliver to the
Agent, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Agent, a Pledge
Agreement pledging 100% of the stock of the Borrower and all of its
Subsidiaries to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, subject to no other
Lien or encumbrance, together with certificates representing such Pledged
Stock with stock powers duly executed in blank.  The stock of Dani shall be
released to the Borrower from the Pledge Agreement concurrently with the Dani
Disposition.  The stock of Southwest Coca-Cola Bottling Company, Inc. will be
released to the Borrower from the Pledge Agreement concurrently with, but
only to the extent necessary to effect, its merger into the Borrower against,
if applicable, delivery by the Parent to the Agent subject to the Pledge
Agreement of any stock of the Borrower issued in substitution or exchange
therefor in connection with such merger.

     (b)    Upon the delivery of the fourth consecutive compliance
certificate furnished to the Agent pursuant to SECTION 9.1(a)(ii) and SECTION
9.1(b)(ii) demonstrating a Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio of not greater
than 5.00 to 1.00, the Borrower may request that the Pledged Stock be
released.  Upon such request, the Pledge Agreement shall automatically be
terminated without any consent from or any act by the Agent, the Lenders or
any other party.

     5.3.   FURTHER ASSURANCES.  At the request of the Agent, the Borrower
will or will cause its Subsidiaries, as the case may be to execute, by its
duly authorized officers, alone or with the Agent, any certificate,
instrument, statement or document, or to procure any such certificate,
instrument, statement or document, or to take such other action (and pay all
reasonably connected costs) which the Agent reasonably deems necessary from
time to time to create, continue or preserve the liens and security interests
in the Collateral (and the perfection and priority thereof) contemplated
hereby and by the other Loan Documents.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                            CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

     6.1.   INCREASED COST AND REDUCED RETURN.

     (a)    If, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law,
rule, or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule, or regulation,
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 Lender (or its
Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) of any such governmental authority, central bank, or
comparable agency:

                 (i)    shall subject such Lender (or its Applicable Lending
     Office) to any tax, duty, or other charge with respect to any Eurodollar
     Rate Loans, its Note, or its obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Loans, or
     change the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender (or its
     Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or its Note in respect of
     any Eurodollar Rate Loans (other than taxes imposed on the overall net
     income of such Lender by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its
     principal office or such Applicable Lending Office);

                 (ii)   shall impose, modify, or deem applicable any
     reserve, special deposit, assessment, or similar requirement (other than
     the Reserve Requirement utilized in the determination of the Eurodollar
     Rate) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any
     deposits with or other liabilities or commitments of, such Lender (or its
     Applicable Lending Office), including the Revolving Credit Commitment  and
     Term Loan Commitment of such Lender hereunder; or

                 (iii)  shall impose on such Lender (or its Applicable
     Lending Office) or on the London interbank market any other condition
     affecting this Agreement or its Note or any of such extensions of credit or
     liabilities or commitments;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender
(or its Applicable Lending Office) of making, Converting into, Continuing, or
maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans or to reduce any sum received or
receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this
Agreement or its Note with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, then the
Borrower shall pay to such Lender on demand such amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.  If any Lender
requests compensation by the Borrower under this SECTION 6.1(a), the Borrower
may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), suspend the
obligation of such Lender to make or Continue Loans of the Type with respect
to which such compensation is requested, or to Convert Loans of any other
Type into Loans of such Type, until the event or condition giving rise to
such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of SECTION



                                      49
<PAGE>

6.4 shall be applicable); PROVIDED that such suspension shall not affect the
right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

     (b)    If, after the date hereof, any Lender shall have determined that
the adoption of any applicable law, rule, or regulation regarding capital
adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or
directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law)
of any such governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has
or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of
such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of
such Lender's obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender
or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change,
request, or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to
capital adequacy), then from time to time upon demand the Borrower shall pay
to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender for such reduction.

     (c)    Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of
any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which
will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this SECTION 6.1 and
will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will
avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not,
in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to it.  Any
Lender claiming compensation under this SECTION 6.1 shall furnish to the
Borrower and the Agent a statement setting forth the additional amount or
amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence
of manifest error.  In determining such amount, such Lender may use any
reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

     (d)    Each demand for compensation pursuant to this SECTION 6.1 shall
be made not later than 180 days after the date on which the Person making the
demand determines that such compensation is payable hereunder.

     6.2.   LIMITATION ON TYPES OF LOANS.  If on or prior to the first day of
any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan:

            (a)  the Agent determines (which determination shall be
     conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market,
     adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar
     Rate for such Interest Period; or

            (b)  the Required Lenders determine (which determination shall be
     conclusive) and notify the Agent that the Eurodollar Rate will not
     adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding Eurodollar
     Rate Loans for such Interest Period;

then the Agent shall give the Borrower prompt notice thereof specifying the
relevant Type of Loans and the relevant amounts or periods, and so long as
such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to
make additional Loans of such Type, Continue Loans of such Type,



                                      50
<PAGE>

or to Convert Loans of any other Type into Loans of such Type and the
Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for
the outstanding Loans of the affected Type, either prepay such Loans or
Convert such Loans into another Type of Loan in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.

     6.3.   ILLEGALITY.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its
Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain, or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans
hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof and
such Lender's obligation to make or Continue Eurodollar Rate Loans and to
Convert other Types of Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended
until such time as such Lender may again make, maintain, and fund Eurodollar
Rate Loans (in which case the provisions of SECTION 6.4 shall be applicable).

     6.4.   TREATMENT OF AFFECTED LOANS.  If the obligation of any Lender to
make a Eurodollar Rate Loan or to Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other
Type into, Loans of a particular Type shall be suspended pursuant to SECTION
6.1, 6.2 OR 6.3 hereof (Loans of such Type being herein called "Affected
Loans" and such Type being herein called the "Affected Type"), such Lender's
Affected Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the
last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for Affected Loans (or, in
the case of a Conversion required by SECTION 6.3 hereof, on such earlier date
as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Agent) and,
unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the
circumstances specified in SECTION 6.1, 6.2 OR 6.3 hereof that gave rise to
such Conversion no longer exist:

            (a)  to the extent that such Lender's Affected Loans have been so
     Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise
     be applied to such Lender's Affected Loans shall be applied instead to its
     Base Rate Loans; and

            (b)  all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such
     Lender as Loans of the Affected Type shall be made or Continued instead as
     Base Rate Loans, and all Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be
     Converted into Loans of the Affected Type shall be Converted instead into
     (or shall remain as) Base Rate Loans.

If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) that
the circumstances specified in SECTION 6.1, 6.2 OR 6.3 hereof that gave rise
to the Conversion of such Lender's Affected Loans pursuant to this SECTION
6.4 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such
circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Loans of the Affected Type
made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender's Base Rate Loans shall be
automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest
Period(s) for such outstanding Loans of the Affected Type, to the extent
necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders
holding Loans of the Affected Type and by such Lender are held pro rata (as
to principal amounts, Types, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their
respective Revolving Credit Commitments and Term Loan Commitments.



                                      51
<PAGE>

     6.5.   COMPENSATION.  Upon the request of any Lender, the Borrower shall
pay to such Lender such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the
reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or
expense (including loss of anticipated profits) incurred by it as a result of:

            (a)  any payment, prepayment, or Conversion of a Eurodollar Rate
     Loan for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the
     Loans pursuant to SECTION 11.1) on a date other than the last day of  the
     Interest Period for such Loan; or

            (b)  any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including,
     without limitation, the failure of any condition precedent specified in
     ARTICLE VIII to be satisfied) to borrow, Convert, Continue, or prepay a
     Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date for such borrowing, Conversion,
     Continuation, or prepayment specified in the relevant notice of borrowing,
     prepayment, Continuation, or Conversion under this Agreement.

     6.6.   TAXES.  (a)  Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the
account of any Lender or the Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present
or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or
withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, EXCLUDING, in the
case of each Lender and the Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise
taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender
(or its Applicable Lending Office) or the Agent (as the case may be) is
organized or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes,
duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, and liabilities
being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes").  If the Borrower shall be required
by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document to any Lender or the Agent, (i) the sum
payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this SECTION 6.6) such Lender or the Agent receives an amount equal to the
sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the
Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in
accordance with applicable law, and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the
Agent, at its address referred to in SECTION 13.2, the original or a
certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

     (b)    In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or
future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or
charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or from the execution or delivery of, or
otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document
(hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").

     (c)    The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Agent for
the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts
payable under this SECTION 6.6) paid by such Lender or the Agent (as



                                      52
<PAGE>

the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest, and
expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.

     (d)     Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside
the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of
this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages
hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case
of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in
writing by the Borrower or the Agent (but only so long as such Lender remains
lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and the Agent with (i)
Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224, as appropriate, or any successor
form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender
is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States
is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest
or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is
effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United
States, (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, as appropriate, or any
successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, and (iii) any
other form or certificate required by any taxing authority (including any
certificate required by Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of the Internal Revenue
Code), certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from or a
reduced rate of tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents.

     (e)    For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to
provide the Borrower and the Agent with the appropriate form pursuant to
SECTION 6.6(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or
regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was
required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to
indemnification under SECTION 6.6(a) OR 6.6(b) with respect to Taxes imposed
by the United States; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that should a Lender, which is
otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become
subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder,
the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to
assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

     (f)    If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for
the account of any Lender pursuant to this SECTION 6.6, then such Lender will
agree to use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable
Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which
may thereafter accrue if such change, in the judgment of such Lender, is not
otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

     (g)    Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes,
the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a
receipt evidencing such payment.

     (h)    Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the

     6.7.   REPLACEMENT LENDERS.  The Borrower may, on ten (10) Business
Days' prior written notice to the Agent and a Lender, cause a Lender who has
incurred increased costs, is required to pay additional amounts under SECTION
6.6 or is unable to make Eurodollar Rate Loans to (and such Lender shall)
assign, pursuant to SECTION 13.1, all of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee designated by the Borrower which is
willing to become a Lender for a purchase price equal to the outstanding
principal amount of the Loans payable to such Lender plus any accrued but
unpaid interest on such Loans, any accrued but unpaid fees with respect to
such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment and Term Loan Commitment and any
other amount payable to such Lender under this Agreement; PROVIDED, however,
that any expenses or other amounts which would be owing to such Lender
pursuant to any indemnification provision hereof (including, if applicable,
SECTION 6.5) shall be payable by the Borrower as if the Borrower had prepaid
the Loans of such Lender rather than such Lender having assigned its interest
hereunder.  The Borrower or the assignee shall pay the applicable processing
fee under SECTION 13.1.

     The Borrower represents and warrants with respect to itself and to its

     Documents to which it is a party; and

     which  any Loan Party is a party will be the legal, valid and binding
     obligation or agreement, as the case may be, of such Loan Party,
     enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, subject
     to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, moratorium, insolvency,
     reorganization or other similar law affecting the enforceability of
     creditors' rights generally and to the effect of general principles of
     equity (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

     8.2.      LOAN DOCUMENTS.  The execution, delivery and performance by each
Loan Party of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party:

               (a)  have been duly authorized by all requisite Organizational

     of or constitute an event of default, or an event which, with notice or
     lapse of time or both, would constitute an event of default, under any
     contract, indenture, agreement or other instrument or document to which
     such Loan Party is a party, or by which the properties or assets of such
     Loan Party are bound the effect of which conflict, breach or default could
     reasonably be expected to give rise to a liability in excess of $1,000,000;
     and

               (d)  do not and will not result in the creation or imposition of
     any Lien securing an obligation in an amount greater than $1,000,000 upon

               (a)  The Borrower has heretofore furnished to each Lender an
     audited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as

     change in the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Borrower or any of
     its Subsidiaries or in the businesses, properties, performance, prospects

     or properties been materially adversely affected as a result of any fire,
     explosion, earthquake, accident, strike, lockout, combination of workers,
     flood, embargo or act of God; and

               (c)  except as set forth in the financial statements referred to
     in SECTION 8.6(a) or in SCHEDULE 8.6 or permitted by SECTION 10.5, neither
     Borrower nor any Subsidiary has incurred, other than in the ordinary course
     of business, any material Indebtedness, Contingent Obligation or other
     commitment or liability which remains outstanding or unsatisfied.

     8.7.      TITLE TO PROPERTIES.  The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries

     8.9.      OTHER AGREEMENTS.  No Loan Party is:

               (a)  a party to or subject to any judgment, order, decree,
     agreement, lease or instrument, or subject to other restrictions, which
     individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a
     Material Adverse Effect; or

               (b)  in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of
     any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement
     or instrument to which such Loan Party or any Subsidiary is a party, which
     default has, or if not remedied within any applicable grace period could
     reasonably be likely to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

     8.10.     LITIGATION.  Except as set forth in SCHEDULE 8.10, there is no
action, suit, investigation or proceeding at law or in equity or by or before
any governmental instrumentality or agency or arbitral body pending, or, to the
knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by or against the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or other Loan Party or affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary or
other Loan Party or any properties or rights of the Borrower or any Subsidiary
or other Loan Party, which could reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

     8.11.     MARGIN STOCK.  The proceeds of the borrowings made hereunder will
be used by the Borrower only for the purposes expressly authorized herein.  None
of such proceeds will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying any margin stock or for the purpose of reducing or
retiring any Indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry
margin stock or for any other purpose which might constitute any of the Loans
under this Agreement a "purpose credit" within the meaning of Regulation G,
Regulation U or Regulation X (12 C.F.R. Part 224) of the Board.  Neither the
Borrower nor any agent acting in its behalf has taken or will take any action
which might cause this Agreement or any of the documents or instruments
delivered pursuant hereto to violate any regulation of the Board or to violate
the Exchange Act, or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state
securities laws, in each case as in effect on the date hereof.

     8.12.     INVESTMENT COMPANY.  No Loan Party is an "investment company," or
an "affiliated person" of, or "promoter" or "principal underwriter" for, an
"investment company", as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (15 U.S.C. Section 80a-1, et seq.).  The application of the
proceeds of the Loans and repayment thereof by the Borrower and the performance
by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties of the transactions contemplated by
the Loan Documents will not violate any provision of said Act, or any rule,
regulation or order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder,
in each case as in effect on the date hereof.

     8.13.     PATENTS, ETC.  The Borrower and each other Loan Party owns or has
the right to use, under valid license agreements or otherwise, all material
patents, licenses, franchises, trademarks, trademark rights, trade names, trade
name rights, trade secrets and copyrights



                                      64
<PAGE>

necessary to or used in the conduct of its businesses as now conducted and as
contemplated by the Loan Documents, without known conflict with any patent,
license, franchise, trademark, trade secret, trade name, copyright, other
proprietary right of any other Person.

     8.14.     NO UNTRUE STATEMENT.  Neither (a) this Agreement nor any other
Loan Document or certificate or document executed and delivered by or on
behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party in accordance with or pursuant
to any Loan Document nor (b) any statement, representation, or warranty
provided to the Agent in connection with the negotiation or preparation of
the Loan Documents contains any misrepresentation or untrue statement of
material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary, in light of the
circumstance under which it was made, in order to make any such warranty,
representation or statement contained therein not misleading at the time it
was made.

     8.15.     NO CONSENTS, ETC.  Neither the respective businesses or
properties of the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary, nor any relationship among
the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary and any other Person, nor any circumstance
in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan
Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, is such as to require a
consent, approval or authorization of, or filing, registration or
qualification with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person on the
part of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary  as a condition to the execution,
delivery and performance of, or consummation of the transactions contemplated
by the Loan Documents, which, if not obtained or effected, would be
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, or if so, such consent,
approval, authorization, filing, registration or qualification has been duly
obtained or effected, as the case may be.

     8.16.     EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS.

               (a)  The Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate is in compliance with
     all applicable provisions of ERISA and the regulations and published
     interpretations thereunder and in compliance with all Foreign Benefit Laws
     with respect to all Employee Benefit Plans, except for any failure to
     comply that is not reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect
     and except for any required amendments for which the remedial amendment
     period as defined in Section 401(b) of the Code has not yet expired.  Each
     Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a)
     of the Code has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be so
     qualified, and each trust related to such plan has been determined to be
     exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code.  No liability which is reasonably
     expected to have a Material Adverse Effect has been incurred by the
     Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate which remains unsatisfied for any taxes or
     penalties with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan or any Multiemployer
     Plan;

               (b)  Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has (i) engaged
     in a nonexempt prohibited transaction described in Section 4975 of the Code
     or Section 406 of ERISA affecting  any of the Employee Benefit Plans or the
     trusts created thereunder which could subject any such Employee Benefit
     Plan or trust to a material tax or penalty



                                      65
<PAGE>

     on prohibited transactions imposed under Internal Revenue Code Section 4975
     or ERISA, (ii) incurred any material accumulated funding deficiency with
     respect to any Employee Benefit Plan, whether or not waived, or any other
     liability to the PBGC which remains outstanding other than the payment of
     premiums, and there are no material premium payments which are due and
     unpaid, (iii) failed to make, or if not timely made, cured within 30 days
     after the Borrower became aware of the failure, a required installment or
     other required payment under Section 412 of the Code, Section 302 of ERISA
     or the terms of such Employee Benefit Plan; or (iv) failed to make a
     material required contribution or payment to a Multiemployer Plan;

               (c)  Except for the voluntary termination of a Pension Plan under
     Section 4041 of ERISA, no Termination Event has occurred or is reasonably
     expected to occur with respect to any Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan
     and neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any material
     unpaid withdrawal liability with respect to any Multiemployer Plan;

               (d)  The present value of all vested accrued benefits on an
     on-going (non-termination) basis under each Employee Benefit Plan which is
     subject to Title IV of ERISA, did not, as of the most recent valuation date
     for each such plan, exceed the then current value of the assets of such
     Employee Benefit Plan allocable to such benefits;

               (e)  To the best of the Borrower's knowledge, each Employee
     Benefit Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA, maintained by the Borrower or
     any ERISA Affiliate, has been administered in accordance with its terms in
     all material respects and is in compliance in all material respects with
     all applicable requirements of ERISA and other applicable laws, regulations
     and rules;

               (f)  The consummation of the Loans and the issuance of the
     Letters of Credit provided for herein will not involve any prohibited
     transaction under ERISA which is not subject to a statutory or
     administrative exemption; and

               (g)  No proceeding, claim, lawsuit and/or investigation exists
     or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower after due inquiry, is threatened
     concerning or involving any Employee Benefit Plan, other than routine
     claims for benefits.

     8.17.     NO DEFAULT.  As of the date hereof, there does not exist any
Default or Event of Default hereunder.

     8.18.     ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS.  The Borrower and each Subsidiary is in
material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and has been issued
and currently maintains all required federal, state and local permits, licenses,
certificates and approvals.  Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has been
notified of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation which, and neither the
Borrower nor any Subsidiary is aware of any facts which, (i) calls into



                                      66
<PAGE>

question, or could reasonably be expected to call into question, compliance
by the Borrower or any Subsidiary with any Environmental Laws, (ii) which
seeks, or could reasonably be expected to form the basis of a meritorious
proceeding, to suspend, revoke or terminate any license, permit or approval
necessary for the generation, handling, storage, treatment or disposal of any
Hazardous Material, or (iii) seeks to cause, or could reasonably be expected
to form the basis of a meritorious proceeding to cause, any property of the
Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Loan Party to be subject to any
restrictions on ownership, use, occupancy or transferability under any
Environmental Law, so long as the effect of any of the foregoing could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     8.19.     EMPLOYMENT MATTERS. (a)  None of the employees of the Borrower
or any Subsidiary is subject to any collective bargaining agreement by virtue
of their employment by the Borrower or any Subsidiary and there are no
strikes, work stoppages, election or decertification petitions or
proceedings, unfair labor charges, equal opportunity proceedings, or other
material labor/employee related controversies or proceedings pending or, to
the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or between the Borrower or any Subsidiary and any of its
employees, other than employee grievances arising in the ordinary course of
business which could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the
aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect; and

     (b)       Except to the extent a failure to maintain compliance would
not have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower and each Subsidiary is in
compliance in all respects with all applicable laws, rules and regulations
pertaining to labor or employment matters, including without limitation those
pertaining to wages, hours, occupational safety and taxation and there is
neither pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened any litigation,
administrative proceeding nor any investigation, in respect of such matters
which, if decided adversely, could reasonably be likely, individually or in
the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     8.20.     RICO.  Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is engaged in
or has engaged in any course of conduct that could subject any of their
respective properties to any Lien, seizure or other forfeiture under any
criminal law, racketeer influenced and corrupt organizations law, civil or
criminal, or other similar laws.

     8.21.     SUBORDINATED NOTES.  The principal of and interest on the
Notes constitute Senior Indebtedness under the Indenture dated November 15,
1993 pursuant to which the Subordinated Notes were issued.

<PAGE>

               (n)  if there shall occur a Change in Control;

then, and in any such event and at any time thereafter,

                    (A)    either or both of the following actions may be
               taken:  (i) the Agent may, and at the direction of the Required
               Lenders shall, without further notice to the Borrower, which
               notice is hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, declare any
               obligation of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank to make further
               Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans or to issue additional
               Letters of Credit terminated, whereupon the obligation of each
               Lender to make further Revolving Loans, of NationsBank to make
               further Swing Line Loans, and of the Issuing Bank to issue
               additional Letters of Credit, hereunder shall terminate
               immediately, and (ii) the Agent shall at the direction of the
               Required Lenders, at their option, declare by notice to the
               Borrower any or all of the Obligations to be immediately due and
               payable, and the same, including all interest accrued thereon and
               all other Obligations of the Borrower to the Agent and the
               Lenders, shall forthwith become immediately due and payable
               without presentment, demand, protest, notice or other formality
               of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything
               contained herein or in any instrument evidencing the Obligations
               to the contrary notwithstanding; PROVIDED, however, that
               notwithstanding the above, if there shall occur an Event of
               Default under clause (g) or (h) above, then the obligation of the
               Lenders to make Revolving Loans, of NationsBank to make Swing
               Line Loans, and of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit
               hereunder shall automatically terminate and any and all of the
               Obligations shall be immediately due and payable without the
               necessity of any action by the Agent or the Required Lenders or
               notice to the Agent or the Lenders, and without notice, demand,
               presentment, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice
               of intent to accelerate, protest or other formalities of any
               kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower;

                    (B)    The Borrower shall, upon demand of the Agent or the
               Required Lenders, deposit cash with the Agent in an amount equal
               to the amount of any Letter of Credit Outstandings, as collateral
               security for the repayment of any future drawings or payments
               under such Letters of Credit, and such amounts shall be held by
               the Agent pursuant to the terms of the LC Account Agreement; and

                    (C)    the Agent and each of the Lenders shall have all of
               the rights and remedies available under the Loan Documents or
               under any applicable law.

     11.2.     AGENT TO ACT.  In case any one or more Events of Default shall
occur and not have been waived, the Agent may, and at the direction of the
Required Lenders shall, proceed to protect and enforce the Lenders' rights or
remedies either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both, whether for the
specific performance of any covenant, agreement or other provision


                                       87

<PAGE>

contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or to enforce the payment of
the Obligations or any other legal or equitable right or remedy.

     11.3.     CUMULATIVE RIGHTS.  No right or remedy herein conferred upon the
Lenders or the Agent is intended to be exclusive of any other rights or remedies
contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and every such right or remedy
shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other such right or remedy
contained herein and therein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
by statute, or otherwise.

     11.4.     NO WAIVER.  No course of dealing between the Borrower and any
Lender or the Agent or any failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the
Agent in exercising any rights or remedies under any Loan Document or otherwise
available to it shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies and no
single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver
or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or of the
same right or remedy on a future occasion.

     11.5.     ALLOCATION OF PROCEEDS.  If an Event of Default has occurred and
not been waived, and the maturity of the Notes has been accelerated pursuant to
ARTICLE XI hereof, all payments received by the Agent hereunder, in respect of
any principal of or interest on the Obligations or any other amounts payable by
the Borrower hereunder, shall be applied by the Agent in the following order:

     4.4 AND 13.5;

     included in such calculation and paid to NationsBank);

               (d)  payments of principal of Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans
     and Reimbursement Obligations, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the

               (m)  any surplus remaining after application as provided for
     herein, to the Borrower or otherwise as may be required by applicable law.

                                  ARTICLE XII

                                   THE AGENT

     12.1.     APPOINTMENT, POWERS, AND IMMUNITIES.  Each Lender hereby
irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to act as its agent under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents with such powers and discretion as are
specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto.  The Agent (which term as used in this sentence and in SECTION 12.5 and
the first sentence of SECTION 12.6 hereof shall include its affiliates and its
own and its affiliates' officers, directors, employees, and agents):

               (a)  shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those
     expressly set forth in this Agreement and shall not be a trustee or
     fiduciary for any Lender;

               (b)  shall not be responsible to the Lenders for any recital,
     statement, representation, or warranty (whether written or oral) made in or
     in connection with any Loan Document or any certificate or other document
     referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, any Loan
     Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
     enforceability, or sufficiency of any Loan Document, or any other document
     referred to or provided for therein or for any failure by any Loan Party or
     any other Person to perform any of its obligations thereunder;

               (c)  shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain,
     inquire into, or verify the performance or observance of any covenants or
     agreements by any Loan Party or the satisfaction of any condition or to
     inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Loan Party or
     any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates;

               (d)  other than as provided in SECTION 11.2, shall not be
     required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings
     under any Loan Document; and

               (e)  shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to
     be taken by it under or in connection with any Loan Document, except for
     its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible
for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact
selected by it with reasonable care.

     12.2.     RELIANCE BY AGENT.  The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any
certification, notice, instrument, writing, or other communication (including,
without limitation, any thereof by telephone or telefacsimile) believed by it to
be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by or on behalf of
the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements


                                       90

<PAGE>

of legal counsel (including counsel for any Loan Party), independent
accountants, and other experts selected by the Agent.  The Agent may deem and
treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof
unless and until the Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance
executed in accordance with SECTION 13.1 hereof.  As to any matters not
expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Agent shall not be required to
exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or
to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or
refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and
such instructions shall be binding on all of the Lenders; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes
the Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or
applicable law or unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by
the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred
by it by reason of taking any such action.

     12.3.     DEFAULTS.  The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default (other than a payment
default) unless the Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the
Borrower specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such
notice is a "Notice of Default".  In the event that the Agent receives such a
notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, the Agent shall give
prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.  The Agent shall (subject to SECTION 12.2
hereof) take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as
shall reasonably be directed by the Required Lenders, PROVIDED THAT, unless and
until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall
not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with
respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the
best interest of the Lenders.

     12.4.     RIGHTS AS LENDER.  With respect to its Revolving Credit
Commitment and Term Loan Commitment and the Loans made by it, NationsBank (and
any successor acting as Agent) in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have
the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the
same as though it were not acting as the Agent, and the term "Lender" or
"Lenders" shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in
its individual capacity.  NationsBank (and any successor acting as Agent) and
its affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept
deposits from, lend money to, make investments in, provide services to, and
generally engage in any kind of lending, trust, or other business with any Loan
Party or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates as if it were not acting as
Agent, and NationsBank (and any successor acting as Agent) and its affiliates
may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates for services in connection with this Agreement or
otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

     12.5.     INDEMNIFICATION.  The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent (to
the extent not reimbursed under SECTION 13.9 hereof, but without limiting the
obligations of the Borrower under such Section) ratably in accordance with their
respective Revolving Credit Commitments and Term Loan Commitments, for any and
all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,


                                       91

<PAGE>

actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys' fees), or
disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against the Agent (including by any Lender) in any
way relating to or arising out of any Loan Document or the transactions
contemplated thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under any
Loan Document (including any of the foregoing arising from the negligence of
the Agent); PROVIDED that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing
to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the Person to be indemnified.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each
Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable
share of any costs or expenses payable by the Borrower under SECTION 13.5, to
the extent that the Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and
expenses by the Borrower.  The agreements contained in this SECTION 12.5
shall survive payment in full of the Loans and all other amounts payable
under this Agreement.

     12.6.     NON-RELIANCE ON AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS.  Each Lender agrees that
it has, independently and without reliance on the Agent or any other Lender, and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis of the Loan Parties and their subsidiaries and decision to
enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance
upon the Agent or any other Lender, 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 the Loan Documents.  Except for
notices, reports, and other documents and information expressly required to be
furnished to the Lenders by the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall not have any
duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the affairs, financial condition, or business of any Loan
Party or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates that may come into the possession
of the Agent or any of its affiliates.

     12.7.     RESIGNATION OF AGENT.  The Agent may resign at any time by giving
notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon any such resignation, the
Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent and, so long
as no Default or Event of Default exists, the prior written approval of the
Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  If no successor
Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have
accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent's
giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a commercial bank organized
under the laws of the United States of America having combined capital and
surplus of at least $500,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as
Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall thereupon succeed to and
become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, 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 hereunder as
Agent, the provisions of this ARTICLE XII 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 Agent.

                                  ARTICLE XIII

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

     13.1.     ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS.  (a)    Each Lender may assign to
one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its
Loans, its Note, and its Revolving Credit Commitment and Term Loan Commitment);
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that

               (i)    each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee;

               (ii)   except in the case of an assignment to another Lender or
an assignment of all of a Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement
and the TBG Agreement, any such partial assignment under this Agreement and the
TBG Agreement shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;

               (iii)  any assignment by a Lender of all or a portion of its
Revolving Credit Commitment shall include an assignment of a similar percentage
of its Revolving Credit Commitment under the TBG Agreement;

               (iv)   each such assignment by a Lender shall be of a constant,
and not varying, percentage of all of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the Note; and

               (v)    the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver
to the Agent for its acceptance an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of
EXHIBIT B hereto, together with any Note subject to such assignment and a
processing fee of $3,500.

Upon execution, delivery, and acceptance of such Assignment and Acceptance, the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of such
assignment, have the obligations, rights, and benefits of a Lender hereunder and
the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment, relinquish its
rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement.  Upon the
consummation of any assignment pursuant to this Section, the assignor, the Agent
and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, new
Notes are issued to the assignor and the assignee.  If the assignee is not
incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof,
it shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent certification as to exemption
from deduction or withholding of Taxes in accordance with SECTION 6.6.

     (b)       The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in
SECTION 13.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted
by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders and the Revolving Credit Commitment and Term Loan Commitment of, and
principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time (the
"Register").  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders
may treat each Person whose name


                                       94

<PAGE>

is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or
any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.

     (c)       Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the
parties thereto, together with any Note subject to such assignment and payment
of the processing fee, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has
been completed and is in substantially the form of EXHIBIT B hereto, (i) accept
such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in
the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the parties thereto.

     (d)       Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in all
or a portion of its rights, obligations or rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and
Term Loan Commitment or its Loans); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) such Lender's
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations, (iii) the participant shall be entitled to the benefit of the
yield protection provisions contained in ARTICLE VI to the extent such Lender is
entitled to make a claim by reason of such benefit and the right of set-off
contained in SECTION 13.3, and (iv) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely
and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to its Loans and its Note and
to approve any amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement (other than amendments, modifications, or waivers decreasing the
amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on such Loans or
Note, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the
payment of interest on such Loans or Note, or extending its Revolving Credit
Commitment or Term Loan Commitment).

     (e)       Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement,
any Lender may at any time assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and
its Note to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to
Regulation A and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank.  No
such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations
hereunder.

     (f)       Any Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower or
any of the Subsidiaries in the possession of such Lender from time to time to
assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants) to
the extent provided in SECTION 9.1.

     13.2.     NOTICES.  Any notice shall be conclusively deemed to have been
received by any party hereto and be effective (i) on the day on which delivered
(including hand delivery by commercial courier service) to such party (against
receipt therefor), (ii) on the date of receipt at such address, telefacsimile
number or telex number as may from time to time be specified by such party in
written notice to the other parties hereto, in the case of notice by telegram,
telefacsimile or telex, respectively (where the receipt of such message is
verified by return), or

               (c)  if to the Lenders:

                    At the addresses set forth on the signature pages hereof and
                    on the signature page of each Assignment and Acceptance;

               (d)  if to any other Loan Party, at the address set forth on the
                    signature page of the Facility Guaranty or Security
                    Instrument executed by such Loan Party, as the case may be.

     13.3.     RIGHT OF SET-OFF; ADJUSTMENTS.  (a) Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender (and each of its
affiliates) is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and
other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender (or any of its affiliates)
to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the
Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and
the Note held by such Lender, irrespective of whether such Lender shall have
made any demand under this Agreement or such Note and although such obligations
may be unmatured.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any
such set-off and application made by such Lender;  PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
application.  The rights of each Lender under this SECTION 13.3 are in addition
to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of
set-off) that such Lender may have.

     (b)       If any Lender (a "benefitted Lender") shall at any time receive
any payment of all or part of the Loans owing to it, or interest thereon, or
receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily,
by set-off, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or
collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other
Lender's Loans owing to it, or interest thereon, such benefitted Lender shall
purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such
portion of each such other Lender's Loans owing to it, or shall provide such
other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof,
as shall be necessary to cause such benefitted Lender to share the excess
payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the
Lenders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or
benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefitted Lender, such purchase
shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent
of such recovery, but without interest.  The Borrower agrees that any Lender so
purchasing a participation from a Lender pursuant to this SECTION 13.3 may, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights of payment
(including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as
if such Person were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such
participation.  Nothing in this Section shall limit the right of any Lender to
exercise in any right of set off or counterclaim it may have and apply the
amount subject to such exercise to the payment of Indebtedness of the Borrower
other than the Obligations.


                                       97

<PAGE>

     13.4.     SURVIVAL.  All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made herein shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans and
the issuance of the Letters of Credit and the execution and delivery to the
Lenders of this Agreement and the Notes and shall continue in full force and
effect so long as any of Obligations remain outstanding or any Lender has any
commitment hereunder or the Borrower has continuing obligations hereunder unless
otherwise provided herein.  Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto
is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and
permitted assigns of such party and all covenants, provisions and agreements by
or on behalf of the Borrower which are contained in the Loan Documents shall
inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Lenders or
any of them.

     13.5.     EXPENSES. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all costs and
expenses of the Agent in connection with the syndication, preparation,
execution, and delivery of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the
other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent (including the cost of
internal counsel) with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agent as
to its rights and responsibilities under the Loan Documents.  The Borrower
further agrees to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses of the Agent,
including without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for
the Agent, in connection with any future modification or amendment of this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the other documents delivered
hereunder.  The Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses
of the Agent and the Lenders, if any (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses and the cost of internal counsel), in connection
with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or
otherwise) of the Loan Documents and the other documents to be delivered
hereunder.

     13.6.     AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS.  Any provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or
waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders
(and, if ARTICLE XII or the rights or duties of the Agent are affected thereby,
by the Agent);  PROVIDED that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed
by each Lender directly affected thereby, (i) increase the Revolving Credit
Commitments or Term Loan Commitments of the Lenders, (ii) reduce the principal
of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees or other amounts payable
hereunder, (iii) postpone any date fixed for the payment of any scheduled
installment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees or other amounts
payable hereunder or for termination of any Revolving Credit Commitment or Term
Loan Commitment (other than waivers of mandatory prepayment which shall require
only the consent of the Required Lenders), (iv) change the percentage of the
Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loan Commitments or of the unpaid principal
amount of the Notes, or the number of Lenders, which shall be required for the
Lenders or any of them to take any action under this SECTION 13.6 or any other
provision of this Agreement or (v) release any Guarantor (other than as provided
in ARTICLE V) or all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as otherwise
provided herein); and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that no such amendment or waiver that
affects the rights, privileges or obligations of NationsBank as provider of
Swing Line Loans, shall be


                                       98

<PAGE>

effective unless signed in writing by NationsBank or that affects the
rights, privileges or obligations of the Issuing Bank as issuer of Letters of
Credit, shall be effective unless signed in writing by the Issuing Bank;

Notwithstanding any provision of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, as
between the Agent and the Lenders, execution by the Agent of any amendment or
waiver shall not be deemed conclusive evidence that the Agent has obtained the
written consent of the Required Lenders.  No notice to or demand on the Borrower
in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand
in similar or other circumstances, except as otherwise expressly provided
herein.  No delay or omission on any Lender's or the Agent's part in exercising
any right, remedy or option shall operate as a waiver of such or any other
right, remedy or option or of any Default or Event of Default.

     13.7.     COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an
original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to
produce or account for more than one such fully-executed counterpart.

     13.8.     TERMINATION.  The termination of this Agreement shall not affect
any rights of the Borrower, the Lenders or the Agent or any obligation of the
Borrower, the Lenders or the Agent, arising prior to the effective date of such
termination, and the provisions hereof shall continue to be fully operative
until all transactions entered into or rights created or obligations incurred
prior to such termination have been fully disposed of, concluded or liquidated
and the Obligations arising prior to or after such termination have been
irrevocably paid in full.  The rights granted to the Agent for the benefit of
the Lenders under the Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect,
notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement, until all of the Obligations
have been paid in full after the termination hereof (other than Obligations in
the nature of continuing indemnities or expense reimbursement obligations not
yet due and payable, which shall continue) or the Borrower has furnished the
Lenders and the Agent with an indemnification satisfactory to the Agent and each
Lender with respect thereto.  All representations, warranties, covenants,
waivers and agreements contained herein shall survive termination hereof until
payment in full of the Obligations unless otherwise provided herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after receipt of any payment of all or any
part of the Obligations, any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender
such payment to any Person because such payment is determined to be void or
voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, a diversion of trust funds or
for any other reason, this Agreement shall continue in full force and the
Borrower shall be liable to, and shall indemnify and hold the Agent or such
Lender harmless for, the amount of such payment surrendered until the Agent or
such Lender shall have been finally and irrevocably paid in full.  The
provisions of the foregoing sentence shall be and remain effective
notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Agent or
the Lenders in reliance upon such payment, and any such contrary action so taken
shall be without prejudice to the Agent or the Lenders' rights under this
Agreement and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment having
become final and irrevocable.

     13.9.     INDEMNIFICATION; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.    (A) THE BORROWER
AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE AGENT AND EACH LENDER AND EACH OF
THEIR AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS,
AND ADVISORS (EACH, AN "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL
CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES  (INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES) THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR
ASSERTED OR AWARDED AGAINST ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY, IN EACH CASE ARISING OUT
OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR BY REASON OF (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IN
CONNECTION WITH ANY INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR PROCEEDING OR PREPARATION
OF DEFENSE IN CONNECTION THEREWITH) THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY OF THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THE ACTUAL OR PROPOSED USE OF THE
PROCEEDS OF THE LOANS [(INCLUDING ANY OF THE FOREGOING ARISING FROM THE
NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY)], EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH CLAIM, DAMAGE,
LOSS, LIABILITY, COST, OR EXPENSE IS FOUND IN A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE
JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH
INDEMNIFIED PARTY'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.  IN THE CASE OF
AN INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING TO WHICH THE INDEMNITY IN
THIS SECTION 13.9 APPLIES, SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE WHETHER OR NOT
SUCH INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT BY THE BORROWER, ITS
DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS OR CREDITORS OR AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY OR ANY OTHER
PERSON OR ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY IS OTHERWISE A PARTY THERETO AND WHETHER OR
NOT THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY ARE CONSUMMATED; SUBJECT, HOWEVER,
TO THE LIMITATION AS TO GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT CONTAINED IN
THE PRECEDING SENTENCE. THE BORROWER AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ANY CLAIM AGAINST
THE AGENT, ANY LENDER, ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE
DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS, AGENTS, AND ADVISERS, ON ANY
THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR
OTHERWISE RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THE ACTUAL OR PROPOSED USE OF THE PROCEEDS OF THE
LOANS.  SO LONG AS NO EVENT OF DEFAULT SHALL HAVE OCCURRED HEREUNDER, NO
CLAIM FOR WHICH INDEMNITY IS CLAIMED HEREUNDER SHALL BE COMPROMISED OR
SETTLED BY AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE
BORROWER.  NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL PREVENT THE BORROWER FROM BRINGING
A SEPARATE ACTION AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO FOR BREACH OF ANY CONTRACTUAL
OBLIGATION CONTAINED IN THE LOAN DOCUMENTS NOR SHALL THE

                                       100

<PAGE>

PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 13.9 BE APPLICABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION
BETWEEN THE BORROWER AND ANY OTHER PARTY FOR BREACH OF CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION
CONTAINED IN THE LOAN DOCUMENTS IN WHICH THE BORROWER IS THE PREVAILING PARTY.

     (B)       WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO THE SURVIVAL OF ANY OTHER AGREEMENT OF
THE BORROWER HEREUNDER, THE AGREEMENTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER
CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 13.9 SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT IN FULL OF THE LOANS
AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

     13.10.    SEVERABILITY.  If any provision of this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents shall be determined to be illegal or invalid as to one or more
of the parties hereto, then such provision shall remain in effect with
respect to all parties, if any, as to whom such provision is neither illegal
nor invalid, and in any event all other provisions hereof shall remain
effective and binding on the parties hereto.

     13.11.    ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENTS, CONSTITUTES THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES WITH
RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND SUPERSEDES ALL PREVIOUS PROPOSALS,
NEGOTIATIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, COMMITMENTS AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN
OR AMONG THE PARTIES, BOTH ORAL AND WRITTEN, WITH RESPECT THERETO.

     13.12.    AGREEMENT CONTROLS.  In the event that any term of any of the
Loan Documents other than this Agreement conflicts with any express term of
this Agreement, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall control to
the extent of such conflict.

     13.13.    USURY SAVINGS CLAUSE.  Notwithstanding any other provision
herein, the aggregate interest rate charged under any of the Notes, including
all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest
under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate (as such term
is defined below).  If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the
preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest
Lawful Rate (as defined below), the outstanding amount of the Loans made
hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total
amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would
have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this
Agreement had at all times been in effect.  In addition, if, when the Loans
made hereunder are repaid in full, the total interest due hereunder (taking
into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount
of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of
interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to
the extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent an amount
equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of
interest which would have been paid if the Highest

                                       101

<PAGE>

Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
it is the intention of the Lenders and the Borrower to conform strictly to
any applicable usury laws.  Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for,
charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess
of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled
automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender's option be
applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded
to the Borrower.  As used in this paragraph, the term "Highest Lawful Rate"
means the maximum lawful interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time
to time may be contracted for, charged, or received under the laws applicable
to such Lender which are presently in effect or, to the extent allowed by
law, under such applicable laws which may hereafter be in effect and which
allow a higher maximum nonusurious interest rate than applicable laws now
allow.

     13.14.    GOVERNING LAW; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

               (a)  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN
     THOSE SECURITY INSTRUMENTS WHICH EXPRESSLY PROVIDE THAT THEY SHALL BE
     GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
     CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS APPLICABLE TO
     CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

               (b)  THE BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES AND
     CONSENTS THAT ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
     THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN MAY BE INSTITUTED
     IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE COUNTY OF DALLAS, STATE OF
     TEXAS, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND, BY THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS
     AGREEMENT, THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR
     HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE IN, OR TO THE EXERCISE OF
