financing to the Companies consisting of advances and letter of credit
reimbursement obligations pursuant to Sections 364(c)(1), (2) and (3) and 364(d)
of the Bankruptcy Code in order to provide working capital for the Companies, to
refinance the Companies' obligations in respect of Existing Letters of Credit
(as defined in the Credit Agreement), and for other general corporate purposes;

         WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the Banks' making any loans or
otherwise extending credit to the Companies under the Credit Agreement that the

         WHEREAS, each of the Companies wishes to grant a security interest in
favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Banks and the

terms defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State and used herein shall
have the same definitions herein as specified therein. However, if a term is
defined in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State differently
than in another Article of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State, the term
has the meaning specified in Article 9.

         2. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. (a) Each of the Companies hereby grants
to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Banks and the Administrative
Agent, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations,
a security interest in and so pledges and assigns to the Administrative Agent,
for the benefit of the Banks and the Administrative Agent, the following
properties, assets and rights of such Company, wherever located, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof
(all of the same being hereinafter called the "COLLATERAL"): all personal and
fixture property of every kind and nature including without limitation all goods
(including inventory, equipment and any accessions thereto), instruments
(including promissory notes), documents, accounts (including
health-care-insurance receivables), chattel paper (whether tangible or
electronic), deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights (whether or not the
letter of credit is evidenced by a writing), commercial tort claims, securities
and all other investment property, supporting obligations, any other contract
rights or rights to the payment of money, insurance claims and proceeds, and all

security interest shall extend to Avoidance Actions (other than Avoidance
Actions against the Prepetition Lenders and the Prepetition Agents) from and
after the entry of the Final Order.

         (b) The liens and security interest provided for in this Agreement have
also been granted pursuant to the Orders. This Agreement supplements the Orders
without in any way diminishing or limiting the effect of the Orders or the lien
and security interest granted thereunder.

         3. AUTHORIZATION TO FILE FINANCING STATEMENTS. (a) Each of the
Companies hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and
from time to time to file in any filing office in any Uniform Commercial Code
jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that (i)
indicate the Collateral (A) as all assets of such Company or words of similar
effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral
falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State
or such jurisdiction, or (B) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with
greater detail, and (ii) provide any other information required by part 5 of
Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or such other jurisdiction
for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or
amendment, including (A) whether such Company is an organization, the type of
organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Company
and, (B) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or
indicating Collateral as as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a
sufficient description of real property to which the Collateral relates. Each of
the Companies agrees to furnish any such information to the Administrative Agent
promptly upon the Administrative Agent's request.

                                      -3-

         (b) Each of the Companies hereby acknowledges that (i) any and all
Uniform Commercial Code financing statements filed in connection with any other
previously or now existing credit facilities (including, without limitation, the
Prepetition Credit Agreement) naming Fleet National Bank, as administrative
agent (or otherwise as a representative for itself and other financial
institutions), as secured party, and such Company, as debtor, shall be effective
to perfect the Administrative Agent's security interest granted by such Company
pursuant to this Agreement to the extent that such security interest may be
perfected by the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and (ii)
such prior filings represent pre-filings of Uniform Commercial Code financing
statements for purposes of so perfecting the security interests granted by the
Companies hereunder. Until all of the obligations have been finally paid and
satisfied in full, the provisions of this ss.3(b) shall continue to apply, and
such pre-filings shall continue to be effective to the fullest extent permitted
by law and not subject to any right of termination in respect of the security
interests granted herein, whether any such other credit facilities are to be
discharged with the proceeds of any of the Loans, or are to continue
independently.

         4. OTHER ACTIONS. Further to insure the attachment, perfection and
first priority (subject to Permitted Liens entitled to priority under applicable
law) of, and the ability of the Administrative Agent to enforce, the
Administrative Agent's security interest in the Collateral, each of the
Companies agrees, in each case at such Company's expense, to take the following
actions with respect to the following Collateral and without limitation on such
Company's other obligations contained in this Agreement:

                  4.1. PROMISSORY NOTES AND TANGIBLE CHATTEL PAPER. If any
         Company shall, now or at any time hereafter, hold or acquire any
         promissory notes or tangible chattel paper entered into by any Company,
         such Company shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to
         the Administrative Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer
         or assignment duly executed in blank as the Administrative Agent may
         from time to time specify. However, unless otherwise requested by the
         Administrative Agent, such Company need not endorse, assign or deliver
         to the Administrative Agent any tangible chattel paper arising in the
         ordinary course of such Company's business consistent with past
         practices.

                  4.2. DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS. For each deposit account that any
         Company, now or at any time hereafter, opens or maintains, such Company
         shall, at the Administrative Agent's request and option, pursuant to an
         agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative
         Agent, either (a) cause the depositary bank to agree to comply, without
         further consent of such Company, at any time with instructions from the
         Administrative Agent to such depositary bank directing the disposition
         of funds from time to time credited to such deposit account, or (b)
         arrange for the Administrative Agent to become the customer of the
         depositary bank with respect to the deposit account, with such Company
         being permitted, only with the consent of the Administrative Agent, to
         exercise rights to withdraw funds from such deposit account. The
         provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to a deposit account for
         which the Administrative Agent is the depositary bank and is in
         automatic control.

                  4.3. INVESTMENT PROPERTY. If any Company shall, now or at any
         time hereafter, hold or acquire any certificated securities, such
         Company shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the
         Administrative Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or
         assignment duly executed in blank as the Administrative Agent may from
         time to time specify. If any securities now or hereafter acquired by
         any Company are uncertificated and are issued to such Company or its
         nominee directly by the issuer thereof, such Company shall immediately
         notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, at the Administrative
         Agent's request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and
         substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, either (a) cause
         the issuer to agree to comply without further consent of such Company
         or such nominee, at any time with instructions from the Administrative
         Agent as to such securities, or (b) arrange for the Administrative
         Agent to become the registered owner of the securities. If any
         securities, whether certificated or uncertificated, or other investment
         property now or hereafter acquired by any Company are held by such
         Company or its nominee through a securities intermediary or commodity
         intermediary, such Company shall immediately notify the Administrative
         Agent thereof and, at the Administrative Agent's request and option,
         pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the
         Administrative Agent, either (i) cause such securities intermediary or
         (as the case may be) commodity intermediary to agree to comply, in each
         case without further consent of such Company or such nominee, at any
         time with entitlement orders or other instructions from the
         Administrative Agent to such securities intermediary as to such
         securities or other investment property, or (as the case may be) to
         apply any value distributed on account of any commodity contract as
         directed by the Administrative Agent to such commodity intermediary, or
         (ii) in the case of financial assets or other investment property held
         through a securities intermediary, arrange for the Administrative Agent
         to become the entitlement holder with respect to such investment
         property, with such Company being permitted, only with the consent of
         the Administrative Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw or otherwise
         deal with such investment property. The provisions of this paragraph
         shall not apply to any financial assets credited to a securities
         account for which the Administrative Agent is the securities
         intermediary.

                  4.4. COLLATERAL IN THE POSSESSION OF A BAILEE, CONSIGNEE, ETC.
         Except (a) as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, (b) with
         respect to goods on lease and in the possession of lessees in the
         ordinary course of any Company's business, and (c) with respect to
         goods being (i) repaired and in the possession of the Person repairing
         such goods, (ii) sold at auction and in the possession of the
         auctioneer, and (iii) shipped and in the possession of the shipping
         agency, in each case in the ordinary course of any Company's business
         consistent with past practices, if any Collateral is at any time in the
         possession of a third-party bailee, consignee or processor, the
         applicable Company shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent
<PAGE>
                                      -5-

         thereof and shall promptly obtain an acknowledgement from the bailee,
         consignee, or processor, in form and substance satisfactory to the
         Administrative Agent, that the bailee, consignee, or processor holds
         such Collateral for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the
         agreement of such bailee, consignee, or processor to comply, without
         further consent of such Company, at any time with instructions of the
         Administrative Agent as to such Collateral.

                  4.5. ELECTRONIC CHATTEL PAPER AND TRANSFERABLE RECORDS. If any
         Company at any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic
         chattel paper or any "transferable record," as that term is defined in
         Section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National
         Commerce Act, or in ss.16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as
         in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, such Company shall promptly
         notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, at the request and option
         of the Administrative Agent, shall take such action as the
         Administrative Agent may reasonably request to vest in the
         Administrative Agent control, under ss.9-105 of the Uniform Commercial
         Code, of such electronic chattel paper or control under Section 201 of
         the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act
         or, as the case may be, ss.16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions
         Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record.

                  4.6. LETTER-OF-CREDIT RIGHTS. If any Company is at any time a
         beneficiary under a letter of credit now or hereafter, such Company
         shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, at the
         request and option of the Administrative Agent, such Company shall,
         pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the
         Administrative Agent, either (a) arrange for the issuer and any
         confirmer or other nominated person of such letter of credit to consent
         to an assignment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of the
         letter of credit or (b) arrange for the Administrative Agent to become
         the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, with the
         Administrative Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of the
         letter of credit are to be applied as provided in ss.2.10.2(b) of the
         Credit Agreement.

                  4.7. COMMERCIAL TORT CLAIMS. If any Company shall, now or at
         any time hereafter, hold or acquire a commercial tort claim, such
         Company shall immediately notify the Administrative Agent in a writing
         signed by such Company of the particulars thereof and grant to the
         Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Banks and the
         Administrative Agent, in such writing a security interest therein and
         in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with
         such writing to be in form and substance satisfactory to the
         Administrative Agent.

                  4.8. OTHER ACTIONS AS TO ANY AND ALL COLLATERAL. Each of the
         Companies further agrees, upon request of the Administrative Agent and
         at the Administrative Agent's option, to take any and all other actions
<PAGE>
                                      -6-

         as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary or useful for
         the attachment, perfection and first priority (subject to Permitted
         Liens entitled to priority under applicable law) of, and the ability of
         the Administrative Agent to enforce, the Administrative Agent's
         security interest in any and all of the Collateral, including, without
         limitation, (a) executing and delivering any supplemental security
         agreements or assignments requested by the Administrative Agent and
         relating to Collateral consisting of patents, trademarks, copyrights or

         required therefor, and (ii) documents and notices in any other state,
         federal or other filing office for any portion of the Collateral in
         which documents or notices relating to such Collateral are in the
         opinion of the Administrative Agent necessary or advisable to be filed
         or recorded, (c) causing the Administrative Agent's name to be noted as
         secured party on any certificate of title for a titled good if such
         notation is a condition to the attachment, perfection or priority of,

         Agent's security interest in such Collateral, (d) complying with any
         provision of any statute, regulation or treaty of the United States as
         to any Collateral if compliance with such provision is a condition to

         Agent to enforce, the Administrative Agent's security interest in such
         Collateral, (e) using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
         governmental and other third party waivers, consents and approvals in

Agreement supplement the provisions of any real estate mortgage or deed of trust
granted by any of the Companies to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the Banks and the Administrative Agent, and which secures the payment or

mortgage or deed of trust shall derogate from any of the rights or remedies of
the Administrative Agent or any of the Banks hereunder. In addition, to the

         request, certain of the Companies will execute and deliver to the
         Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Banks and the
         Administrative Agent, a stock pledge agreement pursuant to which each
         such Company will pledge to the Administrative Agent all of the shares
         of the capital stock of its Subsidiaries. Such pledges shall be

         postpone the time of attachment or perfection of any security interest
         in such Collateral created hereby.

         Companies will be deemed a co-insurer under applicable insurance laws,
         regulations and policies and otherwise shall be in such amounts,
         contain such terms, be in such forms and be for such periods as may be
         reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. In addition, all
         such insurance shall be payable to the Administrative Agent as loss
         payee under a "standard" or "New York" loss payee clause for the
         benefit of the Banks and the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the
         foregoing, each of the Companies will (a) maintain all such workers'
         compensation or similar insurance as may be required by law and (b)
         maintain, in amounts and with deductibles equal to those generally
         maintained by businesses engaged in similar activities in similar
         geographic areas, general public liability insurance against claims of
         bodily injury, death or property damage occurring, on, in or about its
         properties; business interruption insurance; and product liability
         insurance.

                  10.2. INSURANCE PROCEEDS. The proceeds of any casualty
         insurance in respect of any casualty loss of any of the Collateral
         shall, subject to the rights, if any, of other parties with an interest
         having priority in the property covered thereby, shall be applied by
         the Administrative Agent to the Obligations (a) in the case of proceeds
         resulting from a casualty loss of Specified Resale Inventory, as
         provided in ss.2.10.2(a) of the Credit Agreement, and (b) in all other
         cases as if such proceeds were proceeds of other asset dispositions as
         provided in ss.2.10.2(b) of the Credit Agreement. However, the
         Administrative Agent may, at its sole option, disburse from time to
         time all or any part of such proceeds, upon such terms and conditions
         as the Administrative Agent may reasonably prescribe, for direct
         application by any of the Companies solely to the repair or replacement
         of such Company's property so damaged or destroyed.

                  10.3. CONTINUATION OF INSURANCE. All policies of insurance
         shall provide for at least thirty (30) days prior written cancellation
         notice to the Administrative Agent. In the event of failure by any of
         the Companies to provide and maintain insurance as herein provided, the
         Administrative Agent may, at its option, provide such insurance and
         charge the amount thereof to the Companies. Each of the Companies shall
         furnish the Administrative Agent with certificates of insurance and
         policies evidencing compliance with the foregoing insurance provision.

         11. COLLATERAL PROTECTION EXPENSES; PRESERVATION OF COLLATERAL.

                  11.1. EXPENSES INCURRED BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. In the
         Administrative Agent's discretion, if any of the Companies fails to do
         so, the Administrative Agent may discharge taxes and other
         encumbrances, which are not Permitted Liens, at any time levied or
         placed on any of the Collateral, maintain any of the Collateral, make
         repairs thereto, provide adequate assurance of future performance on
         executory contracts and agreements following an Event of Default and
         five (5) days notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers of
         the occurrence of such Event of Default, and pay any necessary filing
         fees or insurance premiums. The Companies agree to reimburse the
         Administrative Agent on demand for all expenditures so made. The
         Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to any of the Companies
         to make any such expenditures, nor shall the making thereof be
         construed as a waiver or cure of any Default or Event of Default.

                  11.2. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S OBLIGATIONS AND DUTIES. Anything
         herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Companies shall
         remain obligated and liable under each contract or agreement comprised
         in the Collateral to be observed or performed by it thereunder, subject
         to any provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relieving such Company of its
         obligations to perform such contract or agreement or permitting such
         Company to defer such performance. Neither the Administrative Agent nor
         any Bank shall have any obligation or liability under any such contract
         or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the
         receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Bank of any payment relating
         to any of the Collateral, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any
         Bank be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of
         any of the Companies under or pursuant to any such contract or
         agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any
         payment received by the Administrative Agent or any Bank in respect of
         the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party
         under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to
         take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of
         any amounts which may have been assigned to the Administrative Agent or
         to which the Administrative Agent or any Bank may be entitled at any
         time or times. The Administrative Agent's sole duty with respect to the
         custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in
         its possession, under ss.9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the
         State or otherwise, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same
         manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its
         own account.

         12. SECURITIES AND DEPOSITS. The Administrative Agent may at any time,
at its option, transfer to itself or any nominee any securities constituting
Collateral, receive any income thereon and hold such income as additional
Collateral or apply it to the Obligations as set forth in the Credit Agreement.
Following the Termination Declaration Date and five (5) Business Days notice
from the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers of the occurrence of the
Termination Declaration Date, the Administrative Agent may demand, sue for,
<PAGE>
                                      -11-

collect, or make any settlement or compromise which it deems desirable with
respect to the Collateral. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit
Agreement, regardless of the adequacy of Collateral or any other security for
the Obligations, any deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due from
the Administrative Agent or any Bank to any of the Companies may at any time be
applied to or set off against any of the Obligations.

         13. NOTIFICATION TO ACCOUNT DEBTORS AND OTHER PERSONS OBLIGATED ON
COLLATERAL. If at any time any Company is not in compliance with the
requirements of ss.10.13 of the Credit Agreement, or if an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, each of the Companies shall, at the
request and option of the Administrative Agent, notify account debtors and other
persons obligated on any of the Collateral pledged by it hereunder of the
security interest of the Administrative Agent in any account, chattel paper,
general intangible, instrument or other Collateral pledged by it hereunder and
that payment thereof is to be made directly to the Administrative Agent or to
any financial institution designated by the Administrative Agent as the
Administrative Agent's agent therefor, and the Administrative Agent may itself,
if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to
or demand upon such Company, so notify account debtors and other persons
obligated on Collateral pledged by such Company hereunder. After the making of
such a request or the giving of any such notification, each such Company shall
hold any proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles,
instruments and other Collateral received by such Company as trustee for the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Banks and the Administrative Agent,
without commingling the same with other funds of such Company and shall turn the
same over to the Administrative Agent in the identical form received, together
with any necessary endorsements or assignments. The Administrative Agent shall
apply the proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general
intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by the Administrative
Agent to the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement,
such proceeds to be immediately credited after final payment in cash or other
immediately available funds of the items giving rise to them.

         14. POWER OF ATTORNEY.

                  14.1. APPOINTMENT AND POWERS OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. Each of
         the Companies hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the
         Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power
         of substitution, as its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full
         irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Company
         or in the Administrative Agent's own name, for the purpose of carrying
         out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action
         and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be
         necessary or useful to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and,
         without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives said
         attorneys the power and right, on behalf of such Company, without
         notice to or assent by such Company, to do the following:
<PAGE>
                                      -12-

                           (a) following the Termination Declaration Date and
                  five (5) Business Days notice from the Administrative Agent to
                  the Borrowers of the occurrence of the Termination Declaration
                  Date, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement
                  with respect to or otherwise dispose of or deal with any of
                  the Collateral pledged by it hereunder in such manner as is
                  consistent with the Uniform Commercial Code of the State and
                  as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent
                  were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do,
                  at such Company's expense, at any time, or from time to time,
                  all acts and things which the Administrative Agent deems
                  necessary or useful to protect, preserve or realize upon the
                  Collateral pledged by such Company hereunder and the
                  Administrative Agent's security interest therein, in order to
                  effect the intent of this Agreement, all no less fully and
                  effectively as such Company might do, including, without
                  limitation, (i) the filing and prosecuting of registration and
                  transfer applications with the appropriate federal, state or
                  local agencies or authorities with respect to trademarks,
                  copyrights and patentable inventions and processes, (ii) upon
                  written notice to such Company, the exercise of voting rights
                  with respect to voting securities, which rights may be
                  exercised, if the Administrative Agent so elects, with a view
                  to causing the liquidation of assets of the issuer of any such
                  securities and (iii) the execution, delivery and recording, in
                  connection with any sale or other disposition of any
                  Collateral pledged by such Company hereunder, of the
                  endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance
                  or transfer with respect to such Collateral; and

                           (b) to the extent that such Company's authorization
                  given in ss.3 is not sufficient, to file such financing
                  statements with respect hereto, with or without such Company's
                  signature, or a photocopy of this Agreement in substitution
                  for a financing statement, as the Administrative Agent may
                  deem appropriate and to execute in such Company's name such
                  financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation
                  statements which may require such Company's signature.

                  14.2. RATIFICATION BY COMPANIES. To the extent permitted by
         law, each of the Companies hereby ratifies all that said attorneys
         shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of
         attorney is a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

                  14.3. NO DUTY ON ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. The powers conferred on
         the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests
         of the Administrative Agent and the Banks in the Collateral and shall
         not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent to exercise any such
         powers. The Administrative Agent shall be accountable only for the
         amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such
         powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or
<PAGE>
                                      -13-

         agents shall be responsible to any of the Companies for any act or
         failure to act, except for the Administrative Agent's own gross
         negligence or willful misconduct.

         15. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

         (a) Following the Termination Declaration Date and five (5) Business
Days notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers of the occurrence of
the Termination Declaration Date, the Administrative Agent, without any other
notice to or demand upon any of the Companies, shall have in any jurisdiction in
which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and
remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State and any additional rights and remedies as may be
provided to a secured party in any jurisdiction in which Collateral is located,
including, without limitation, the right to take possession of the Collateral,
and for that purpose the Administrative Agent may, so far as the applicable
Company can give authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which the
Collateral may be situated and remove the same therefrom. The Administrative
Agent may in its discretion require each of the Companies to assemble all or any
part of the Collateral pledged by it hereunder at such location or locations
within the jurisdiction(s) of such Company's principal office(s) or at such
other locations as the Administrative Agent may reasonably designate. Unless the
Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a
type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Administrative Agent shall
give to the Companies at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice of
the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which
any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made. Each of the
Companies hereby acknowledges that five (5) Business Days prior written notice
of such sale or sales shall be reasonable notice. In addition, except as
otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, each of the Companies waives any and
all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement
of any of the Administrative Agent's rights and remedies hereunder, including,
without limitation, its right following the Termination Declaration Date to take
immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies
with respect thereto.

         (b) Following the Termination Declaration Date and five (5) Business
Days notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers of the occurrence of
the Termination Declaration Date, the Administrative Agent, or any successor to
the Administrative Agent or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale or other
disposition from the Administrative Agent or similar Person, shall have the
right to cause all rights and obligations of any Company under or in respect of
all executory contracts and agreements to which any Company is a party and which
constitute part of the Collateral to be assumed or rejected pursuant to
ss.365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code as the Administrative Agent or such Person may
direct (except to the extent that such obligations were theretofore duly
rejected by such Company), and to cause such rights or obligations to be
assigned to the Administrative Agent or to such Person pursuant to ss.365(f) of
the Bankruptcy Code (assuming that adequate assurance of future performance is
given). To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Companies agrees
that the Administrative Agent and such other Persons shall have the right to
effect such assumption, rejection or
<PAGE>
                                      -14-

assignment, all as the Administrative Agent or such Persons may direct without
further action by any Company. Each of the Companies hereby agrees to, following
the Termination Declaration Date and five (5) Business Days notice from the
Administrative Agent to the Borrowers of the occurrence of the Termination
Declaration Date, take all such action as the Administrative Agent and such
other Persons may reasonably request to effect any such assumption, rejection or
assignment (including but not limited to, in the case of assumption, the
Administrative Agent reserving its rights under ss.11.1 to cure any defaults and
provide adequate assurance of future performance to the extent that any Company
refuses or otherwise fails to do so) following the Termination Declaration Date
and five (5) days notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers of the
occurrence of the Termination Declaration Date.

         (c) In addition to the rights and remedies described hereunder, the
Administrative Agent shall have the rights and remedies set forth in ss.15.3 of
the Credit Agreement.

         16. STANDARDS FOR EXERCISING RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. To the extent that
applicable law imposes duties on the Administrative Agent to exercise remedies
in a commercially reasonable manner, each of the Companies acknowledges and
agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Administrative Agent (a)
to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Administrative
Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to fail to complete raw
material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for
disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral
to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to
obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of
Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection
remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to
fail to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to
exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated
on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other
collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through
publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is
of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the
same business as the Companies, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or
any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers
to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of
a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites
that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral
or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and
sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail
markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or
credit enhancements to insure the Administrative Agent against risks of loss,
collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Administrative
Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or
(l) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, to obtain the
services of brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to
assist the Administrative Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the
Collateral. Each of the Companies acknowledges that the purpose of this ss.16 is
to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the
Administrative Agent would fulfill the Administrative Agent's duties under the
Uniform Commercial Code of the State or any other relevant jurisdiction in the
Administrative Agent's exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that
other actions or omissions
<PAGE>
                                      -15-

by the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties
solely on account of not being indicated in this ss.16. Without limitation upon
the foregoing, nothing contained in this ss.16 shall be construed to grant any
rights to any of the Companies or to impose any duties on the Administrative
Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by
applicable law in the absence of this ss.16.

         17. NO WAIVER BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ETC. The Administrative Agent
shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights and remedies in respect of
the Obligations or the Collateral unless such waiver shall be in writing and
signed by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Banks. No
delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent in exercising any
right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or any other
right or remedy. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to
or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. All rights and remedies
of the Administrative Agent with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral,
whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, shall be
cumulative and may be exercised singularly, alternatively, successively or
concurrently at such time or at such times as the Administrative Agent deems
expedient.

         18. SURETYSHIP WAIVERS BY COMPANIES. Each of the Companies waives
demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans
made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in
reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. With
respect to both the Obligations and the Collateral, each of the Companies
assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other
indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect
any security interest in any Collateral, to the addition or release of any party
or person primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payment
thereon and the settlement, compromising or adjusting of any thereof, all in
such manner and at such time or times as the Administrative Agent may deem
advisable. The Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to the collection or
protection of the Collateral or any income therefrom, the preservation of rights
against prior parties, or the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto
beyond the safe custody thereof as set forth in ss.11.2. Each of the Companies
further waives any and all other suretyship defenses.

         19. MARSHALLING. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Bank shall be
required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not
limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the
Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other
assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of the rights and
remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Bank hereunder and of the
Administrative Agent or any Bank in respect of such collateral security and
other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other
rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully
<PAGE>
                                      -16-

may, each of the Companies hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law
relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede
the enforcement of the Administrative Agent's rights and remedies under this
Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the
Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any
of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to
the extent that it lawfully may, each of the Companies hereby irrevocably waives
the benefits of all such laws.

         20. PROCEEDS OF DISPOSITIONS; EXPENSES. The Companies shall pay to the
Administrative Agent on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by the Administrative Agent
in protecting, preserving or enforcing the Administrative Agent's rights and
remedies under or in respect of any of the Obligations or any of the Collateral.
After deducting all of said expenses, the residue of any proceeds of collection
or sale or other disposition of Collateral shall, to the extent actually
received in cash, be applied in such order or preference as is provided in the
Credit Agreement. Upon the final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the
Obligations and after making any other payments required by the Credit Agreement
and Sections 9-608(a)(1)(C) or 9-615(a)(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code of the
State, any excess shall be returned to the Companies. In the absence of final
payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations, the Companies shall
remain liable for any deficiency.

         21. OVERDUE AMOUNTS. Until paid, all amounts due and payable by the
Companies hereunder shall be a debt secured by the Collateral and shall bear,
whether before or after judgment, interest at the rate of interest for overdue
principal set forth in the Credit Agreement.

         22. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THIS AGREEMENT IS INTENDED
TO TAKE EFFECT AS A SEALED INSTRUMENT AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE. Each of the Companies agrees that any
action or claim arising out of any dispute in connection with this Agreement,
any rights or obligations hereunder or the performance or enforcement of such
rights or obligations may be brought in the Bankruptcy Court or the courts of
the State or any federal court sitting therein and consents to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of such courts and to service of process in any such suit being
made upon such Company by mail at the address specified in ss.21 of the Credit
Agreement. Each of the Companies hereby waives any objection that it may now or
hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or that such suit
is brought in inconvenient court.

         23. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE COMPANIES WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A
JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THE
PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY SUCH RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS. Except as
prohibited by law, each of the Companies waives any right which it may have to
<PAGE>
                                      -17-

claim or recover in any litigation referred to in the preceding sentence any
special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages or any damages other than,
or in addition to, actual damages. Each of the Companies (a) certifies that
neither the Administrative Agent or any Bank nor any representative, agent or
attorney of the Administrative Agent or any Bank has represented, expressly or
otherwise, that the Administrative Agent or any Bank would not, in the event of
litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers or other waivers contained in
this Agreement and (b) acknowledges that, in entering into the Credit Agreement
and the other Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent or any Bank is a
party, the Administrative Agent and the Banks are relying upon, among other
things, the waivers and certifications contained in this ss.23.

         24. MISCELLANEOUS. The headings of each section of this Agreement are
for convenience only and shall not define or limit the provisions thereof. This
Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon each of
the Companies and their successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit
of the Administrative Agent, the Banks and their respective successors and
assigns. If any term of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity of all other terms hereof shall in no way be
affected thereby, and this Agreement shall be construed and be enforceable as if
such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term had not been included herein. Each
of the Companies acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement. In the event
that a provision of this Agreement is contrary to a provision of the Credit
Agreement, the provision of the Credit Agreement will control.
<PAGE>

the Banks (in such capacity, the "SYNDICATION AGENT" and together with the
Administrative Agent, the "AGENTS"). Capitalized terms used herein unless
otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the
Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined).

         WHEREAS, the Borrowers, the Banks and the Agents are parties to that

         WHEREAS, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent are parties to that

         WHEREAS, in connection with the entry of the Final Order the Borrowers
and the Banks have agreed, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
herein, to make certain changes to the Credit Agreement and the Security

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises contained herein, and

         Chapter 5 or Section 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and proceeds
         thereof. From and after the entry of the Final Order, the term shall

         Collateral or collateral securing the Prepetition Lender Debt."

         (b) inserting the words "the sum of $2,000,000 PLUS" immediately before

                  "There shall also be deducted from Cumulative Cash Flow for

         to be made pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court in the Cases
         for adequate protection pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code on account of
         Permitted Prior Liens, or on account of other Liens primed pursuant to
         the Orders by the Liens securing the Obligations, and made during such

                  "(vii) provided for the preservation of certain challenges to
         the Prepetition Lender Debt and the Liens securing the Prepetition
         Lender Debt but subject to the requirement that any such challenges be
         commenced (A) by the Creditors' Committee no later than the date which
         falls on the 120th day following the appointment of the Creditors'
         Committee (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding
         Business Day), and (B) by any party in interest other than the
         Creditors' Committee no later than the date which falls on the 75th day
         following the Filing Date (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the
         next succeeding Business Day), PROVIDED that even if such 75 day or 120
         day period has expired, any party in interest other than the Borrowers
         may seek to reallocate any payments of interest or fees on Prepetition
         Lender Debt made after the commencement of the Cases to payments of
         principal on Prepetition Lender Debt; and

                  (viii) provided that the Collateral and the collateral
         securing the Prepetition Lender Debt shall not be charged under Section
         506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (other than Permitted 506(c) Charges),
         and that the Prepetition Administrative Agent's Lien on any proceeds,
         products or profits of collateral securing the Prepetition Lender Debt
         at the time of the commencement of the Cases shall not be subject to
         being cut off based on the "equities of the case" under Section 552(b)
         of the Bankruptcy Code."

         (e) replacing the definition of "Net Cash Proceeds" with the following
new definition of "Net Cash Proceeds":

                  "NET CASH PROCEEDS. (a) With respect to any sale or other
         disposition of assets of any of the Borrowers, the cash proceeds
         received by such Borrower from such sale or other disposition, (i) net
         of all reasonable costs of sale or other disposition and property
         transfer or sales taxes paid or payable as a result thereof by such
         Borrower and (ii) net after application of the gross cash proceeds of
         the disposition to Indebtedness secured by any Liens on such assets in
         favor of persons other than the Administrative Agent or the Prepetition
         Administrative Agent, but only to the extent that such other Liens
         constitute Permitted Prior Liens, and (b) with respect to the
         incurrence of any Indebtedness, the cash proceeds received from such
         incurrence, net of all reasonable costs thereof and reasonable fees and
         all expenses payable in connection therewith by the Borrowers. The term
         does not include rental payments received by a Borrower on Inventory

                                      -3-

         leased by the Borrower in the ordinary course of its business
         consistent with past practices."

         (f) adding the following new definition of "Permitted 506(c) Charges"
in proper alphabetical order therein:

                  "PERMITTED 506(c) CHARGE. A charge under Section 506(c) of the
         Bankruptcy Code against the collateral securing the Prepetition Lender
         Debt under the Prepetition Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan
         Documents (as defined therein) in the event that any interest paid on
         the Prepetition Lender Debt after the commencement of the Cases is
         later reallocated to principal of the Prepetition Lender Debt.
         Permitted 506(c) Charges shall be limited to an amount equal to, for
         each day during which any principal of the Loans were outstanding, the
         amount of interest paid or accrued on the principal of the Loans.
         However, if on that day the principal of the Loans exceeded the sum of
         any payments of interest on the Prepetition Lender Debt made after the
         commencement of the Cases and before that day and so later reallocated,
         any interest on the excess for that day shall be excluded from the
         computation of Permitted 506(c) Charges."

         (g) inserting at the end of the definition of "Permitted Prior Liens"
the words "as Permitted Prior Liens" and then adding the following new sentence
at the end of the definition of "Permitted Prior Liens":

         "The term includes a Lien on proceeds or products of, or accessions to,
         assets subject to a Permitted Prior Lien and arising or created after
         the Filing Date to the extent that (a) such Lien in the proceeds,
         products or accessions would have been valid, perfected and not subject
         to avoidance if the proceeds, products or accessions had arisen or been
         created immediately prior to the commencement of the Cases and (b) such
         Lien in the proceeds, products or accessions would be entitled, under
         applicable non-bankruptcy law, to priority over any Lien in the
         proceeds, products or accessions securing the Prepetition Debt."

         (h) replacing the word "such" in the first sentence of the definition
of "Reserves" with the words "the sum of $2,000,000 PLUS such other"; and

         (i) replacing the definition of "Total Commitment" with the following
new definition of "Total Commitment":

                  "TOTAL COMMITMENT. An aggregate outstanding amount not to
         exceed:

                           (i) except as otherwise provided in clauses (ii) and

         other holder of a Lien in such Collateral to the extent that the Lien

         14. CONDITIONS TO EFFECTIVENESS. This Amendment shall become effective
upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of counterparts of this Amendment
executed by the Borrowers, the Agents and the Banks.

         15. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Borrower hereby represents and
warrants to the Banks as follows:

                  5.1. The representations and warranties of such Borrower
         contained in the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, the other Loan
         Documents, or in any document or instrument delivered pursuant to or in
         connection with the Credit Agreement were true when made and, as
         amended hereby, continue to be true on the date hereof (except to the
         extent of changes resulting from transactions contemplated or permitted
         by the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and this Amendment
         and changes occurring in the ordinary course of business which singly
         or in the aggregate are not materially adverse, or to the extent that
         such representations and warranties related solely and expressly to an
         earlier date);

                  5.2. The execution, delivery, and performance by each Borrower
         of this Amendment and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
         hereby: (i) are within the corporate powers of such Borrower; (ii) have
         been duly authorized by all necessary corporate proceedings on the part
         of such Borrower; (iii) do not require any approval, consent of, or
         filing with, any governmental agency or authority, or any other person,
         association or entity, which bears on the validity of this Amendment
         and which is required by law or the regulation or rule of any agency or
         authority, or other person, association or entity; (iv) do not conflict
         with or result in any breach or contravention of any provision of law,
         statute, rule, or regulation to which any Borrower is subject or any
         judgment, order, writ, injunction, license, or permit applicable to
         such Borrower; (v) do not conflict with any provision of the corporate
         charter or bylaws of such Borrower; and (vi) do not conflict with any
         provision of any agreement or other instrument binding upon such
         Borrower in a manner which is reasonably likely to have a material
         adverse effect on the Borrowers taken as a whole; and

                  5.3. This Amendment, the Credit Agreement as amended hereby,
<PAGE>
                                      -8-

         and the other Loan Documents as amended hereby constitute the legal,
         valid, and binding obligations of each Borrower, enforceable against
         each Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, provided that:
         (i) enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws of general application
         affecting the rights and remedies of creditors, and (ii) enforcement
         may be subject to general principles of equity, and the availability of
         the remedies of specific performance and injunctive relief may be
         subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding for
         such remedies may be brought.

         16. RATIFICATION. Each of the Borrowers hereby adopts again, ratifies
and confirms in all respects, as its own act and deed, each of the Credit
Agreement, as amended hereby, and the other Loan Documents, as amended hereby,
to which such Borrower is a party; each of the Borrowers hereby adopts again,
ratifies and confirms in all respects, as its own act and deed, the grant of a
security interest under the Security Documents, as amended hereby, in all of the
existing and after-acquired or arising goods, accounts, chattel paper,
investment property, documents, instruments, commercial tort claims, deposit
accounts, letter-of-credit rights, general intangibles and other personal
property assets in which any of the Borrower has ownership or other rights,
together with any and all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and other
instruments or documents previously executed or filed in connection therewith to
create, evidence, perfect or preserve the priority of such security interest in
favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Banks and the
Administrative Agent. To the extent that it has not already done so, each
Borrower hereby waives all suretyship defenses of whatsoever nature, whether
arising out of either Agent's or any Bank's dealings with any other Borrower in
respect of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise.

         17. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS; DELIVERY BY FACSIMILE. This Amendment
may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an
original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
This Amendment, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile
machine, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or
instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if
it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request
of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party
hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to
all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall
raise the use of a facsimile machine to deliver a signature or the fact that any
signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the
use of a facsimile machine as a defense to the formation of a contract and each
party forever waives such defense.
