      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants and

receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, it is mutually agreed, for the equal
and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the Securities, as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I

                        DEFINITIONS AND OTHER PROVISIONS
                             OF GENERAL APPLICATION

1.1  Definitions. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or unless the
context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Third
Supplemental Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Original
Indenture.

1.2  Effect of Headings. The Article and Section headings in this Third
Supplemental Indenture are for convenience only and shall not affect the
construction of the Original Indenture or this Third Supplemental Indenture.

1.3  Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Third
Supplemental Indenture by the Company shall bind its respective successors and
assigns, whether so expressed or not.

1.4  Separability Clause. In case any provision in this Third Supplemental
Indenture shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby.

1.5  Benefits of Third Supplemental Indenture. Nothing in this Third
Supplemental Indenture, express or implied, shall give to any person, other than
the parties to this Third Supplemental Indenture and their successors hereunder
and the Holders of Securities, any benefit or any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under this Third Supplemental Indenture.

1.6  Governing Law. This Third Supplemental Indenture shall be governed by, and
construed

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

principles of conflicts of law to the extent tat the application of the laws of
another jurisdiction would be required thereby.

1.7  Reference to and Effect on the Indenture.

     (a) On and after the date of this Third Supplemental Indenture, each
     reference in the Original Indenture to "this Indenture," "hereunder,"
     "hereof," or "herein" shall mean and be a reference to the Original
     Indenture as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, the Second
     Supplemental Indenture and this Third Supplemental Indenture unless the
     context otherwise requires.

     (b) Except as specifically amended, the Original Indenture and the
     Securities are hereby ratified and confirmed and all of the terms,
     conditions and provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect.
     This Third Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Original
     Indenture for all purposes, and every Holder of the Securities heretofore
     and hereafter authenticated and delivered under the Original Indenture
     shall be bound hereby.

1.8  Effectiveness. This Third Supplemental Indenture shall take effect and be
binding upon the execution and delivery by the parties to this Third
Supplemental Indenture; provided, however, that (i) the provisions of the
Original Indenture referred to in Article II below (such provisions being
referred to as the "Amended Provisions") will remain in effect in the form they
existed prior to this Third Supplemental Indenture, and (ii) the deletions and
amendments of the Amended Provisions contemplated in Article II below will not
become operative, in each case until the date and time (the "Acceptance Date")
that all conditions to the Tender Offer have been satisfied and that the Company
gives notice to the Trustee and issues a press release that it has accepted
Securities validly tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer for payment.

      For purposes of the definition of "outstanding" herein and in the Original
Indenture, Securities validly tendered to, but not yet accepted for payment by,
the Company shall not be treated as owned by the Company.

      Upon the Acceptance Date, the Amended Provisions will automatically be
deleted or modified as contemplated in Article II below, if the required
Consents for such Provisions have been obtained by the Company as of such date.

      In the event the Company terminates the Offer to Purchase after this Third
Supplemental Indenture has been executed and Securities are not accepted for
payment, this Third Supplemental Indenture will immediately be rendered null and
void.

      Any good faith determination by the Company concerning any conditions of
the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation, or the satisfaction thereof, and any
waiver by the Company of such conditions shall be conclusive and binding upon
all Persons.

  securities exchange or quoted in the NASDAQ National Market System, Fair
  Market Value shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or
  a duly authorized committee thereof.  In the event that Employee objects to
  the Board of Directors' determination of Fair Market Value within 20 days
  after written notice thereof, a mutually acceptable valuation firm shall be
  engaged to determine Fair Market Value.  The determination of such firm
  shall be final and binding on the Company and Employee, and the fees and

by the Board of Directors.

  In each instance of conduct described in clause (a), (b) or (c), the
Company must be given, prior to termination of employment, ten (10) business
days' written notice of such breach or material diminution and a reasonable
period of time after such notice to cure the effects thereof to the reasonable

not be terminated for Just Cause as a result of the conduct and effect so cured.

  7.7  Employee without Just Cause.  The employment of Employee may be
       ---------------------------
terminated at any time by Employee upon not less than 30 days' prior written

         $61 Options will expire at the close of business on August 19, 2006
         (the "Expiration Date"), subject to earlier expiration in connection
         with the termination of your employment to the extent set forth in the
         Agreement. Neither the Replacement Options nor the $61 Options are
         intended to be "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section
         442 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

     2.  EXERCISABILITY/VESTING.

         1.  VESTING.  The Replacement Options and the $61 Options will be
             exercisable only to the extent they have vested.

         2.  ACCELERATION OF VESTING. In the event of a Change of Control (A)
             during the term of your employment with the Company and/or any of
             its subsidiaries or (B) at a time when the Unvested Replacement
             Options and the Unvested $61 Options are vesting pursuant to the
             terms of Section 8.5(b) or 8.6(b), the Replacement Options, the $61
             Options and the Deferred Payments will automatically become 100%
             vested. In connection with any Change of Control, the Company may
             provide on not less than 20 days' notice to you that any portion of
             the Replacement Options and the $61 Options that have not been
             exercised prior to or in connection with the Change of Control will
             be forfeited. In lieu of requiring such exercise, the Company may
             provide for the cancellation of the Replacement Options and the $61
             Options in exchange for a payment equal to the excess (if any) of
             the consideration per share of Company Common Stock receivable in
             connection with such Change of Control over the exercise price of
             the Replacement Options and the $61 Options, respectively.

     3.  TERMINATION OF OPTION. In no event shall any part of the Replacement
         Options or the $61 Options be exercisable after the Expiration Date set
         forth in paragraph 1(a).

2.   PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE. You may exercise all or any portion of the
     Replacement Options or the $61 Options to the extent permitted hereby, at
     any time and from time to time by delivering written notice to the Company
     (to the attention of the Company's Secretary) accompanied by payment in
     full of an amount equal to the product of (i) the Exercise Price of the
     subject option multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Option Stock to
     be acquired (such date of delivery the "Exercise Date"). The Company may
     delay effectiveness of any exercise of the Replacement Options or the $61
     Options for such period of time as may be necessary to comply with any
     legal or contractual provisions to which it may be subject relating to the
     issuance of its securities; provided, however, that no such delay shall
     affect your right to purchase the shares of Option Stock, and the Exercise
     Date shall be deemed the date of your acquisition of the shares of Option
     Stock for all corporate and tax purposes regardless of such delay. As a
     condition to any exercise of the Replacement Options or the $61 Options,
     you will permit the Company to deliver to you all financial and other
     information regarding the Company necessary to enable you to make an

                                      A-1
<PAGE>

     informed investment decision, and you will make all customary investment
     representations which the Company requires.

3.   SECURITIES LAW RESTRICTIONS.  You represent that when you exercise the
     Replacement Options or the $61 Options you will be purchasing the shares of
     Option Stock for your own account and not on behalf of others. You may not
     sell, transfer or dispose of any Company Common Stock issued pursuant to
     the Replacement Options or the $61 Options (except pursuant to an effective
     registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933) without first
     delivering to the Company an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to
     the Company that registration under the Securities Act or any applicable
     state securities laws is not required in connection with such transfer. You
     further understand that the certificates for any Company Common Stock you
     purchase will bear such legends as the Company deems necessary or desirable
     in connection with the Securities Act or other rules, regulations or laws.

4.   OPTION NOT TRANSFERABLE.  The Replacement Options and the $61 Options are
     personal to you and are not transferable by you other than by will or the
     laws of descent and distribution. During your lifetime only you (or your
     guardian or legal representative) may exercise the Replacement Options and
     the $61 Options. In the event of your death, the Replacement Options and
     the $61 Options may be exercised only by the executor or administrator of
     your estate to he person or persons to whom your rights under the
     Replacement Options and the $61 Options shall pass by will or the laws of
     intestate succession.

5.   CONFORMITY WITH PLAN.  The Replacement Options and the $61 Options are
     intended to conform in all respects with, and are subject to all applicable
     provisions of, the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference.
     Inconsistencies between the terms of the Agreement and this Exhibit, on the
     one hand, and the Plan, on the other hand, shall be resolved in accordance
     with the terms of the Plan. By executing the Agreement, you acknowledge
     your receipt of this Exhibit A and the Plan and agree to be bound by all of
     the terms contained herein and therein.

6.   RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS.  Nothing in this Exhibit A shall interfere with or
     limit in any way the right of the Company and/or its subsidiaries to
     terminate your employment in accordance with the Agreement or confer upon
     you any right not set forth in the Agreement to continue in the employ of
     the Company and/or its subsidiaries for any period of time or to continue
     to receive your current (or other) rate of compensation. Nothing in this
     Exhibit A shall confer upon you any right to be selected to receive
     additional options under the Plan or otherwise.

7.   WITHHOLDING OF TAXES.  The Company may, if necessary or desirable, withhold
     from any amounts due and payable by the Company to you (or secure payment
     from you in lieu of withholding) the amount of any withholding or other tax
     due from the Company with respect to the issuance or exercise of the
     Replacement Options or the $61 Options, and the Company may defer such
     issuance or exercise unless indemnified by you to its satisfaction against
     the payment of any such amount. To the extent permitted by law, such
     withholding may be effected through the delivery by you of shares of
     Company Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value as of the Exercise Date.

8.   ADJUSTMENTS.  In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock

                                      A-2
<PAGE>

     dividend or stock split, or combination or other change in the shares of
     Common Stock, the Company may, in order to prevent the dilution or
     enlargement of rights under the Replacement Options or the $61 Options,
     make such adjustments in the number and type of shares authorized by the
     Plan, the number and type of shares covered by the Replacement Options and
     the $61 Options and the respective Exercise Prices specified herein as may
     be determined to be appropriate and equitable.

                      INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT

PARTICIPANT:

COMPANY   :    DETAILS HOLDINGS CORP.

SECURITY  :    COMMON STOCK

AMOUNT    :

DATE :

    In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the
undersigned Option Holder represents to Details the following:

    (a) Option Holder current residence is as set forth in the signature
page hereto.

    (b) Option Holder is aware of  Details' business affairs and financial
condition and has acquired sufficient information about Details to reach an
informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares.  Option Holder is
acquiring the Shares for investment for Option Holder's own account only and not
with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof
within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act").

    (c) Option Holder acknowledges and understands that the Shares
constitute "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and have not been
registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption
therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide
nature of Option Holder's investment intent as expressed herein.  Option Holder
further understands that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are
subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such
registration is available.  Option Holder further acknowledges and understands
that Details is under no obligation to register the Shares except as set forth
in the Details Holdings Corp. Stockholders Agreement dated as of October 28,
1998, as amended from time to time.  Option Holder understands that the
certificate evidencing the Shares will be imprinted with a legend which
prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such
registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to Details.

    (d) Option Holder is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule
144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit
limited public resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or
indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions.  Rule 701 provides that if the issuer
qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Option to Option
Holder, the exercise will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
In the event that Details becomes subject to the reporting requirements of
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any
market stand-off agreement may require) the Shares exempt under Rule 701 may be
resold, subject to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by
Rule 144, including: (1) the resale being made through a broker in an
unsolicited "broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a market
maker (as said term is defined under the Exchange Act); and, in the case of an
affiliate, (2) the availability of certain public information about Details, (3)
the amount of Securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding
the limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the timely filing of a Form
144, if applicable.

    In the event that Details does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time
of grant of the Option, then the Shares may be resold in certain limited
circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires the resale
to occur not less than one year after the later of the date the Shares were sold
by Details or the date the Shares were sold by an affiliate of Details, within
the meaning of Rule 144; and, in the case of acquisition of the Securities by an
affiliate, or by a non-affiliate who subsequently holds the Securities less than
two years, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in sections (1), (2),
(3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above.

    (e) Option Holder further understands that in the event all of the
applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under
<PAGE>

the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A under the Securities Act, or
some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding
the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the staff of the Securities
and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell
private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise
than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in
establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or
sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in
such transactions do so at their own risk.  Option Holder understands that no
assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption will be
available in such event.
