whole or in part, without notice or further assent from such Guarantor and that
such Guarantor will remain bound under the terms hereof notwithstanding any
extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

                  Each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a
guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee
of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any
Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed
Obligations.

                  The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of
the obligations of any other Guarantor, the Company, any Subsidiary thereof or
any other Person, and, subject to Section 2.05, a separate action or actions may
be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is
brought against any other Guarantor, the Company any Subsidiary thereof or any
other Person and whether or not any other Guarantor, the Company or any
Subsidiary thereof be joined in any such action or actions. Any payment by the
Company or any Subsidiary thereof or other circumstance which operates to toll
any statute of limitations as to the Company or any such Subsidiary shall
operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Guarantor.

                  SECTION 2.02. Unconditional Obligations. This Guaranty shall
not be discharged except by complete performance of the Guaranteed Obligations
as contemplated in the Indenture and the Securities. The obligations of each
Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Holder or
the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy
against the Company or any other Person under the Indenture, the Securities or
any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any agreement
referred to in clause (a) of this paragraph; (c) any rescission, waiver,
amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture,
the Securities or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by
or for the benefit of any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations
or any of them; (e) the failure of any Holder or Trustee to exercise any right
or remedy against any other Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other
Person; or (f) except as provided in Section 2.08 of this Second Supplemental
Indenture, any change in the ownership of such Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby
waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of any liability to
which it may apply, and waives promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of
payment, protest, notice of dishonor or any right to require a proceeding or the
taking of other action by the Trustee or any Holder against, and any other
notice to, any other Guarantor or the Company.

                  SECTION 2.03. Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a
continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the
terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance
hereon. No failure or delay on the part of any Holder in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power
or privilege. The rights and remedies herein expressly specified are cumulative
and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Holder would otherwise
have. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such
Guarantor to any other further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Holder to any other or
further action to any circumstances without notice or demand. It is not
necessary for any Holder to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Company
or any Subsidiary thereof or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting
or purporting to act on its behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in
reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed
hereunder.

                  SECTION 2.04. Subrogation; Acceleration. Each Guarantor agrees
that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in respect of any
Guaranteed Obligations until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each
Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders
and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed
Obligations may be accelerated as provided in Article VI of the Indenture for
the purposes of such Guarantor's Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay,
injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the
Guaranteed Obligations, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration
of such obligations as provided in Article VI of the Indenture, such Guaranteed
Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and
payable by each Guarantor for the purposes hereof.

                  SECTION 2.05. Enforcement. The Holders agree that this
Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Trustee in accordance with
the terms of the Indenture and that no other Holders shall have any right
individually to seek to enforce this Guaranty. The Holders further agree that
this Guaranty may not be enforced against any director, officer, employee, or
stockholder of any Guarantor (except to the extent such stockholder is also a
Guarantor hereunder).

                  SECTION 2.06. Covenants. Each Guarantor agrees that its
Guaranteed Obligations hereunder are senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor and
such Guaranteed Obligations shall not be subordinate to any existing or future
obligations of such Guarantor. Each Guarantor further covenants and agrees that
on and after the date hereof such Guarantor will comply (as a Recourse
Subsidiary of the Company), and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply,
with all of the applicable provisions, covenants and agreements contained in the
Indenture, and will take, or will refrain from taking, as the case may be, all
actions that are necessary to be taken or not taken so that it is not in

                                       10
<PAGE>   11

violation of any provision, covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture,
and so that no Default or Event of Default, is caused by the actions of such
Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

         Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally agrees to pay all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each Holder in connection with
the enforcement of this Guaranty and of the Trustee in connection with any
amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto (including in each case, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel employed by each
Holder).

                  SECTION 2.07. Limitation on Liability. Each Guarantor hereby
confirms that it is its intention that this Guaranty not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform
Fraudulent Conveyance Act or any similar Federal or state law. Accordingly, each
Guarantor hereby irrevocably agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed
by such Guarantor shall be limited to such amount as will, after giving effect
to such maximum amount and all other (contingent or otherwise) liabilities of
such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any
rights to contribution pursuant to any agreement providing for an equitable
contribution among such Guarantor and the other Guarantors, result in the
Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor in respect of such maximum amount not
constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance

                  SECTION 2.08. Miscellaneous. (a) This Guaranty shall be
binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to
the benefit of the Holders and their successors and assigns.

                  (b) Neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated except with the written consent of
each Guarantor directly affected thereby and with the written consent of the
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding.

                  (c) All notices, requests, demands or other communications
pursuant hereto shall be made in accordance with Section 10.02 of the Indenture.

                  (d) In the event that all of the capital stock of one or more
Guarantors is sold or otherwise disposed of or liquidated in compliance with the
requirements of the Indenture and the proceeds of such sale, disposition or
liquidation are applied, to the extent applicable, in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture, such Guarantor shall upon consummation of such sale
or other disposition (except to the extent that such sale or disposition is to
the Company or another Subsidiary thereof) be released from this Guaranty
automatically and without further action and this Guaranty shall, as to each
such Guarantor terminate, and have no further force or effect. At the request of
the Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument
evidencing such release.

Issue Date or acquired after such date, or on any income or profits therefrom,
unless the Securities are equally and ratably secured by such Lien; provided
that if the Debt secured by such Lien is subordinate or junior in right of
payment to the Securities then the Lien securing such Debt shall be subordinate

         this Indenture, (ii) the principal amount of Debt (including Debt in
         respect of Capitalized Lease Obligations) secured by each such Lien on

         of such Acquired Debt by the Company or by one of its Subsidiaries and
         (ii) any such Lien does not extend to or cover any property or assets
         of the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries other than the property or
         assets that secured the Acquired Debt prior to the time such Debt
         became Acquired Debt of the Company or of one of its Subsidiaries;

         Agreement and the Other Indebtedness);

                  (9) Liens permitted under the Credit Agreement or the New
         Credit Agreement as each such agreement was in effect on the effective
         date of the New Credit Agreement; and

         provided that such Liens only secure Debt of the Company and its
         Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any one time
         outstanding $30,000,000."

                  SECTION 1.06. (a) Section 4.13(6) of the Indenture is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

                  "the Credit Agreement, the Receivables Financing Agreement,

                  Date or the New Credit Agreement; provided that the terms and

                  terms described under clauses (a)-(d) above are no less
                  favorable to the Company than those contained in the
                  agreements governing the Debt being Refinanced."

                  SECTION 1.07. A new Section 6.13 is hereby added to the
Indenture to read as follows:

                  "Notification to Collateral Agent. If an Event of Default

                  Agreement) of such default pursuant to the terms of the
                  Collateral Agent Agreement and take any action as may be

                                   GUARANTEES

                  SECTION 2.01. Guarantee. Subject to Section 2.07, each
Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
guarantees to each Holder (a "Guaranty"), the following obligations: (a) the
full and punctual payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the
Securities when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or
otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Company under the Indenture

                                       8
<PAGE>   9

and the Securities and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable
grace periods of all other obligations of the Company under the Indenture
(including, without limitation, the compensation and other payment obligations
to the Trustee thereunder) and the Securities (all the foregoing being
hereinafter collectively called the "Guaranteed Obligations"). Each Guarantor
further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in
whole or in part, without notice or further assent from such Guarantor and that
such Guarantor will remain bound under the terms hereof notwithstanding any
extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

                  Each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a
guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee
of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any
Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed
Obligations.

                  The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of
the obligations of any other Guarantor, the Company, any Subsidiary thereof or
any other Person, and, subject to Section 2.05, a separate action or actions may
be brought and prosecuted against each Additional Guarantor whether or not
action is brought against any other Guarantor, the Company any Subsidiary
thereof or any other Person and whether or not any other Guarantor, the Company
or any Subsidiary thereof be joined in any such action or actions. Any payment
by the Company or any Subsidiary thereof or other circumstance which operates to
toll any statute of limitations as to the Company or any such Subsidiary shall
operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Guarantor.

                  SECTION 2.02. Unconditional Obligations. This Guaranty shall
not be discharged except by complete performance of the Guaranteed Obligations
as contemplated in the Indenture and the Securities. The obligations of each
Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Holder or
the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy
against the Company or any other Person under the Indenture, the Securities or
any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any agreement
referred to in clause (a) of this paragraph; (c) any rescission, waiver,
amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture,
the Securities or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by
or for the benefit of any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations
or any of them; (e) the failure of any Holder or Trustee to exercise any right
or remedy against any other Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other
Person; or (f) except as provided in Section 2.08 of this Second Supplemental
Indenture, any change in the ownership of such Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby
waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of any liability to
which it may apply, and waives promptness, diligence, presentment, demand of
payment, protest, notice of dishonor or any right to require a proceeding or the
taking of other action by the Trustee or any Holder against, and any other
notice to, any other Guarantor or the Company.

                  SECTION 2.03. Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a
continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the
terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance

                                       9
<PAGE>   10

hereon. No failure or delay on the part of any Holder in exercising any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power
or privilege. The rights and remedies herein expressly specified are cumulative
and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Holder would otherwise
have. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such
Guarantor to any other further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Holder to any other or
further action to any circumstances without notice or demand. It is not
necessary for any Holder to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Company
or any Subsidiary thereof or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting
or purporting to act on its behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in
reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed
hereunder.

                  SECTION 2.04. Subrogation; Acceleration. Each Guarantor agrees
that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in respect of any
Guaranteed Obligations until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each
Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders
and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed
Obligations may be accelerated as provided in Article VI of the Indenture for
the purposes of such Guarantor's Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay,
injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the
Guaranteed Obligations, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration
of such obligations as provided in Article VI of the Indenture, such Guaranteed
Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and
payable by each Guarantor for the purposes hereof.

                  SECTION 2.05. Enforcement. The Holders agree that this
Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Trustee in accordance with
the terms of the Indenture and that no other Holders shall have any right
individually to seek to enforce this Guaranty. The Holders further agree that
this Guaranty may not be enforced against any director, officer, employee, or
stockholder of any Guarantor (except to the extent such stockholder is also a
Guarantor hereunder).

                  SECTION 2.06. Covenants. Each Guarantor agrees that its
Guaranteed Obligations hereunder are senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor and
such Guaranteed Obligations shall not be subordinate to any existing or future
obligations of such Guarantor. Each Guarantor further covenants and agrees that
on and after the date hereof such Guarantor will comply (as a Recourse
Subsidiary of the Company), and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply,
with all of the applicable provisions, covenants and agreements contained in the
Indenture, and will take, or will refrain from taking, as the case may be, all
actions that are necessary to be taken or not taken so that it is not in
violation of any provision, covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture,
and so that no Default or Event of Default, is caused by the actions of such
Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

                                       10
<PAGE>   11

         Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally agrees to pay all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each Holder in connection with
the enforcement of this Guaranty and of the Trustee in connection with any
amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto (including in each case, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel employed by each
Holder).

                  SECTION 2.07. Limitation on Liability. Each Guarantor hereby
confirms that it is its intention that this Guaranty not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform
Fraudulent Conveyance Act or any similar Federal or state law. Accordingly, each
Guarantor hereby irrevocably agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed
by such Guarantor shall be limited to such amount as will, after giving effect
to such maximum amount and all other (contingent or otherwise) liabilities of
such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any
rights to contribution pursuant to any agreement providing for an equitable
contribution among such Guarantor and the other Guarantors, result in the
Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor in respect of such maximum amount not
constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance

                  SECTION 2.08. Miscellaneous. (a) This Guaranty shall be
binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to
the benefit of the Holders and their successors and assigns.

                  (b) Neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be
changed, waived, discharged or terminated except with the written consent of
each Guarantor directly affected thereby and with the written consent of the
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding.

                  (c) All notices, requests, demands or other communications
pursuant hereto shall be made in accordance with Section 10.02 of the Indenture.

                  (d) In the event that all of the capital stock of one or more
Guarantors is sold or otherwise disposed of or liquidated in compliance with the
requirements of the Indenture and the proceeds of such sale, disposition or
liquidation are applied, to the extent applicable, in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture, such Guarantor shall upon consummation of such sale
or other disposition (except to the extent that such sale or disposition is to
the Company or another Subsidiary thereof) be released from this Guaranty
automatically and without further action and this Guaranty shall, as to each
such Guarantor terminate, and have no further force or effect. At the request of
the Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument
evidencing such release.

                                   ARTICLE III

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

                  SECTION 3.01. Effectiveness. This Second Supplemental
Indenture shall become effective immediately upon its execution and delivery by
the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee, but Articles I and II shall not
become operative unless and until the Requisite Consents (as defined in the
Consent Solicitation Statement) are received and the New Credit Agreement and
the Credit Agreement become effective. In the event of any termination of the
Consent Solicitation set forth in the Consent Solicitation Statement or in the
event that Requisite Consents are not received, Articles I and II of this Second
Supplemental Indenture shall be null and void and of no force or effect.

                  SECTION 3.02. Confirmation. This Second Supplemental Indenture
