                   AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE

$45,000,000                                                 As of June ___, 2000

                  This Amended and Restated  Revolving Credit Note (this "Note")
is the  Revolving  Credit Note  referred to in, and is issued  pursuant to, that
certain Loan and Security  Agreement dated as of May 5, 1998 between each of the
undersigned  (each a "Borrower" and collectively  "Borrowers") and Fleet Capital
Corporation ("Fleet" or "Lender") (as same may be amended, restated, modified or
supplemented from time to time, the "Loan Agreement"), and is entitled to all of
the benefits  and security of the Loan  Agreement.  All  capitalized  terms used
herein,  unless  otherwise  specifically  defined in this  Note,  shall have the
meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement. All of the terms, covenants and
conditions of the Loan  Agreement and the Loan  Documents are hereby made a part
of this Note and are deemed incorporated herein in full.

                  FOR VALUE RECEIVED, each of the undersigned hereby jointly and
severally  promises to pay to the order of Fleet in such coin or currency of the
United  States  which  shall be legal  tender in  payment of all debts and dues,
public and  private,  at the time of payment,  the  principal  sum of FORTY FIVE
MILLION AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($45,000,000) or, if different from such amount, such
amount of the  Revolving  Credit  Loans as may be due and  owing  under the Loan
Agreement,  payable in accordance  with the provisions of the Loan Agreement and
subject to  acceleration  upon the  occurrence  of an Event of Default under the
Loan  Agreement or earlier  termination  of the Loan  Agreement  pursuant to the
terms  thereof,  together  with  interest  from and after the date hereof on the
unpaid  principal  balance  outstanding at the applicable rates set forth in the
Loan Agreement  which shall be payable in accordance  with the provisions of the
Loan Agreement.

                  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,  Lender shall have
all of the rights and remedies set forth in Section 11 of the Loan Agreement.

                  Time is of the  essence of this Note.  To the  fullest  extent
permitted  by  applicable   law,  each  Borrower,   for  itself  and  its  legal
representatives,  successors and assigns, expressly waives presentment,  demand,
protest, notice of dishonor,  notice of non-payment,  notice of maturity, notice
of protest,  presentment for the purpose of accelerating maturity,  diligence in
collection, and the benefit of any exemption or insolvency laws.

                  Wherever  possible,  each  provision  of this  Note  shall  be
interpreted  in such manner as to be effective and valid under  applicable  law,
but if any  provision  of  this  Note  shall  be  prohibited  or  invalid  under
applicable  law,  such  provision  shall be  ineffective  to the  extent of such
prohibition or invalidity  without  invalidating the remainder of such provision
or remaining  provisions of this Note. No delay or failure on the part of Lender
in the  exercise  of any right or remedy  hereunder  shall  operate  as a waiver
thereof,  nor as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial
exercise  by Lender of any right or remedy  preclude  any other right or remedy.
Lender,  at its option,  may enforce its rights against any collateral  securing
this Note without enforcing its rights against  Borrowers,  any guarantor of the
indebtedness  evidenced  hereby or any other property or indebtedness  due or to
become due to  Borrowers.  Each  Borrower  agrees  that,  without  releasing  or
impairing any Borrower's  liability  hereunder,  Lender

<PAGE>

may at any time  release,  surrender,  substitute  or  exchange  any  collateral
securing  this  Note  and  may  at any  time  release  any  party  primarily  or
secondarily liable for the indebtedness evidenced by this Note.

                  This Note amends and  restates in its entirety and is given in
substitution  for,  but not in  satisfaction  of, and  supersedes  that  certain
Revolving  Credit Note dated as of May 5, 1998 issued by  Borrowers  in favor of
Lender in the original principal amount of $40,000,000.

                  This Note shall be governed by, and  construed and enforced in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

                  IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  each Borrower has caused this Note to be
duly executed and delivered on the date first above written.

1.Equipment  Leased and Term. Lessor agrees to lease to Lessee and Lessee agrees
to lease from Lessor,  subject to the following  terms and  conditions and those
set forth in Rider A and each Supplement executed by the parties pursuant hereto
(collectively,  as they may be amended or modified,  the  "Lease"),the  personal
property,  together with all attachments,  replacements,  parts,  substitutions,
additions,  repairs and accessories incorporated therein, and/or affixed thereto
(the "Equipment")  described in any Supplement.  Each item of Equipment shall be
subjected to this Lease by the execution by the parties  hereto of a Supplement,
and Lessee's  execution and delivery to Lessor of a Supplement  shall constitute
Lessee's  irrevocable  acceptance  of such item of Equipment for all purposes of
this Lease.  The term of the lease of each item of Equipment  shall  commence on
the Commencement Date specified in the Supplement  pertaining  thereto and shall
continue for the term specified in such  Supplement.  Lessee hereby gives Lessor
authority to insert the  Commencement  Date and the date of first monthly rental
for any item of  Equipment  in any  Supplement  as well as such  items as serial
numbers if such are not already  inserted  when such  Supplement  is executed by
Lessee.

2.Rent;  Net Lease.  The  aggregate  rent  payable  with respect to each item of
Equipment shall be in the amount shown on the applicable Supplement and shall be
determined  as set forth in Rider A.  Lessee  shall pay to Lessor the  aggregate
rental for each item of  Equipment  for the full  period and term for which such
Equipment is leased, such rental to be payable at such times and in such amounts
as shown in the applicable Supplement.  Any payment not made when due shall bear
late charges thereon calculated at the rate of 1 1/2% per month, but in no event
greater than the highest rate  permitted  by  applicable  law. All rent shall be
paid at Lessor's  place of business  shown above,  or such other place as Lessor
may designate by written  notice to the Lessee.  ALL RENTS SHALL BE PAID WITHOUT
NOTICE OR DEMAND  AND  WITHOUT  ABATEMENT,  DEDUCTION  OR SET OFF OF ANY  AMOUNT
WHATSOEVER.  THE  OPERATION  AND USE OF THE  EQUIPMENT  SHALL  BE AT THE RISK OF
LESSEE  AND NOT OF LESSOR  AND THE  OBLIGATION  OF LESSEE TO PAY RENT  HEREUNDER
SHALL BE ABSOLUTE AND  UNCONDITIONAL.  This Lease is a net lease and operational
expenses with respect to the  Equipment are to be paid by Lessee.  This Lease is
irrevocable for the full term thereof as set forth in any Supplement and for the
aggregate  rentals set forth therein,  and the rent shall not abate by reason of
termination of Lessee's  right of possession  and/or the taking of possession by
Lessor or for any other reason.

3. Loss or  Damage.  Lessee  agrees to assume  and bear the  entire  risk of any
partial or complete loss with respect to the Equipment  from any and every cause
whatsoever  including theft, loss, damage,  destruction or governmental  taking,
whether  or not such loss is covered by  insurance  or caused by any  default or
neglect of Lessee.  Lessee  agrees to give Lessor prompt notice of any damage to
or loss of any  Equipment,  and unless such loss  constitutes  an Event of Loss,
Lessee shall  promptly  cause the affected  part or parts of the Equipment to be
replaced or restored as required by Section 6 hereof.  If any item of  Equipment
is lost,  totally  destroyed,  damaged beyond repair (as determined by Lessee in
its reasonable judgment,  subject to Lessor's approval) or taken by governmental
action (an "Event of Loss"),  Lessee shall  promptly give Lessor  written notice
thereof,  and Lessee shall pay to Lessor  within  thirty days (the "Loss Payment
Date") of said  Event of Loss an amount  equal to the sum of (i) the  Stipulated
Loss Value of such item of  Equipment  computed as of the rent payment date with
respect to such item of Equipment on or  immediately  preceding the date of such
Event of Loss;  and (ii) all rent and other amounts due and owing  hereunder for
such item of  Equipment on or prior to the Loss  Payment  Date.  Upon payment of
such  amount to  Lessor,  the lease of such item of  Equipment  hereunder  shall
terminate,  and Lessor  will  transfer  to  Lessee,  Lessor's  right,  title and
interest  in and to such  item of  Equipment,  on an  "as-is,  where-is"  basis,
without  recourse and without  representation  or warranty,  express or implied,
other than a warranty  that the Equipment is free and clear of any liens created
by Lessor.  "Stipulated  Loss  Value"  shall mean,  with  respect to any item of
Equipment,  the amount determined by multiplying the total amount paid by Lessor
for such item of  Equipment,  which amount shall be set forth in the  applicable
Supplement  (the  "Lessor's  Cost") by the percentage set forth in Schedule A to
such Supplement opposite the applicable rent payment date.

Except as expressly provided in the immediately  preceding paragraph,  the total
or partial  destruction  of any Equipment or the total or partial loss of use or
possession  thereof to Lessee shall not release or relieve  Lessee from the duty
to  pay  the  rent  herein  provided,   however  Lessor  shall,  upon  receiving
satisfactory  evidence of restoration of the Equipment,  promptly pay Lessee the
proceeds of any  insurance  or  compensation  received by reason of such damage.
Lessor  shall not be  obligated to  undertake  by  litigation  or otherwise  the
collection of any claim against any person for loss or damage to the Equipment.

4. No Warranties by Lessor. (a) LESSOR NEITHER MAKES NOR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE
MADE AND LESSEE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY WARRANTY OR  REPRESENTATION,  EITHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,  AS TO THE EQUIPMENT,  INCLUDING,  WITHOUT  LIMITATION,  ANY
WARRANTY  OR  REPRESENTATION  AS TO THE  DESIGN,  QUALITY  OR  CONDITION  OF THE
EQUIPMENT OR ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OF THE EQUIPMENT FOR ANY
PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR AS TO THE TITLE TO OR LESSOR'S OR LESSEE'S INTEREST IN THE
EQUIPMENT  OR AS TO ANY  OTHER  MATTER  RELATING  TO THE  EQUIPMENT  OR ANY PART
THEREOF,  IT BEING  AGREED  THAT THE  EQUIPMENT  IS LEASED BY LESSOR  "AS-IS" TO
LESSEE AND THAT ALL SUCH RISKS,  AS BETWEEN LESSEE AND LESSOR ARE TO BE BORNE BY
LESSEE AT ITS SOLE RISK AND EXPENSE. LESSEE ACCORDINGLY AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ANY
CLAIM WHATSOEVER

                                                                     Page 1 of 9

<PAGE>

AGAINST LESSOR BASED THEREON. Lessee further agrees, regardless of cause, not to
assert any claim whatsoever  against Lessor for loss of anticipatory  profits or
consequential damages.  Lessor shall have no obligation to install, erect, test,
adjust or service the Equipment.  Lessee shall look to the  manufacturer  and/or
seller for any claims related to the Equipment.

     LESSEE CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS SELECTED THE EQUIPMENT AND EACH PART THEREOF ON
THE  BASIS  OF ITS OWN  JUDGMENT  AND  EXPRESSLY  DISCLAIMS  RELIANCE  UPON  ANY
STATEMENTS,   REPRESENTATIONS   OR  WARRANTIES   MADE  BY  LESSOR,   AND  LESSEE
ACKNOWLEDGES  THAT  LESSOR  IS NOT A  MANUFACTURER  OR VENDOR OF ANY PART OF THE
EQUIPMENT.

     LESSOR NEITHER MAKES NOR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY REPRESENTATION OR
WARRANTY AS TO THE  ACCOUNTING  TREATMENT  TO BE  ACCORDED  TO THE  TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED  BY THIS LEASE OR AS TO ANY TAX  CONSEQUENCES  AND/OR TAX TREATMENT
THEREOF.

     (b) Lessor hereby  assigns to Lessee such rights as Lessor may have (to the
extent  Lessor may validly  assign such  rights)  under all  manufacturers'  and
suppliers' warranties with respect to the Equipment; provided, however, that the
foregoing  rights shall  automatically  revert to Lessor upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Default hereunder,  or upon the return of
the Equipment to Lessor.  Lessee agrees to settle all claims with respect to the
Equipment  directly with the  manufacturers  or suppliers  thereof,  and to give
Lessor prompt notice and the details of any such settlement.

5.  Representations  and  Warranties.  Lessee hereby  represents and warrants to
Lessor  that:  (a)  Lessee  is and  will  be at all  times  a  corporation  duly

name or its chief place of business;  and (vi) will qualify to do business,  and
remain qualified in good standing,  in each  jurisdiction in which the Equipment

     (b) Lessee  will,  at its own expense,  keep and maintain the  Equipment in
good repair,  condition and working  order and furnish all parts,  replacements,
mechanisms, devices and servicing required therefor so that the value, condition
and operating  efficiency thereof will at all times be maintained and preserved,
reasonable wear and tear excepted. All such repairs, parts, mechanisms,  devices
and replacements shall immediately,  without further act, become the property of
Lessor and part of the Equipment.

     (c) Lessee will not make or authorize any improvement,  change, addition or
alteration to the Equipment  without the prior written approval of Lessor (i) if

further act, become the property of Lessor.

7.  Insurance.  Lessee  shall  maintain  at all times on the  Equipment,  at its
expense,  all-risk  physical damage insurance and  comprehensive  general and/or
automobile (as  appropriate)  liability  insurance  (covering  bodily injury and
property damage exposures including,  but not limited to, contractual  liability
and products  liability) in such amounts,  against such risks,  in such form and
with such insurers as shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lessor; provided, that
the amount of all-risk  physical damage  insurance shall not on any date be less
than the greater of the full  replacement  value of the Equipment or a sum equal
to all the rent due thereon,  plus all rent to become due. Each physical  damage
insurance policy will name Lessor as loss payee. Each liability insurance policy
will name Lessor as additional insured.  Each insurance policy will also require
that the insurer give Lessor at least thirty (30) days prior  written  notice of
any alteration in or  cancellation  of the terms of such policy and require that
Lessor's interests be continued insured regardless of any breach or violation by
Lessee or others of any warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such
insurance  policy.  In no  event  shall  Lessor  be  responsible  for  premiums,
warranties or representations to any insurer or any agent thereof.  Lessee shall
furnish to Lessor a certificate  or other evidence  satisfactory  to Lessor that
such  insurance  coverage  is in effect,  but  Lessor  shall be under no duty to
ascertain the existence or adequacy of such insurance.  The insurance maintained
by Lessee  shall be primary  without any right of  contribution  from  insurance
which may be  maintained  by Lessor.  Lessee shall be liable for all  deductible
portions of all required insurance.  Lessor may, at its own expense, for its own
benefit,  purchase  insurance  in  excess of that  required  under  this  Lease.
Physical  damage  insurance  proceeds shall be applied as set forth in Section 3
hereof.

8. General Tax Indemnity.  Lessee hereby agrees to pay and to indemnify and hold
Lessor harmless from and against,  all fees, taxes (whether sales,  use, excise,
personal property or other taxes), imposts,  duties,  withholdings,  assessments
and other governmental charges of whatever kind or character, however designated
(together with any penalties,  fines or interest thereon),  all of the foregoing
being herein collectively called "Impositions",  which are at any time levied or
imposed against Lessor, Lessee, this Lease, the Equipment or any part thereof by
any federal,  state or local government or taxing authority in the United States
or by any foreign  government or any  subdivision  or taxing  authority  thereof
upon,  with respect to, as a result of or measured by (i) the  Equipment (or any
part thereof),  or this Lease or the interest of the Lessor therein; or (ii) the
purchase, ownership, delivery, leasing, possession, maintenance, use, operation,
return, sale or other disposition of the Equipment or any part thereof; or (iii)
the rentals,  receipts or earnings payable under this Lease or otherwise arising
from the Equipment or any part thereof;  excluding,  however,  taxes based on or
measured by the net income of Lessor  that are imposed by (1) the United  States
of America,  or (2) any State of the United  States of America or any  political
subdivision of any such State.  Lessor shall pay, and,  promptly upon receipt of
Lessor's  invoice  therefor,  Lessee  shall  reimburse  Lessor for  paying,  the
Impositions,  unless  Lessor and Lessee  shall agree in writing that Lessee will
pay any Impositions  directly.  Any payments made by Lessee under this Section 8
shall be made on an  After-Tax  Basis.  The  obligations  of Lessee  under  this
Section 8 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with
respect to obligations that arise during the term of this Lease.

9.  Lessor's  Title,  Right  of  Inspection,  No  Liens  and  Identification  of
Equipment. Title to the Equipment shall at all times remain in Lessor and Lessee
will at all times protect and defend, at its own cost and expense,  the title of
Lessor from and against all claims,  liens and legal  processes  of creditors of
Lessee and keep all the Equipment free and clear from all such claims, liens and
processes.  Upon the request of Lessor in writing, Lessee shall, at its expense,
attach to each item of  Equipment  a notice  satisfactory  to Lessor  disclosing
Lessor's ownership of such item of Equipment.  The Equipment is and shall remain
personal  property.  Lessor  shall  have  the  right  from  time to time  during
reasonable  business hours to enter upon Lessee's  premises or elsewhere for the
purpose of confirming  the  existence,  condition and proper  maintenance of the
Equipment  and during any period of storage  Lessor shall also have the right to
demonstrate and show the Equipment to others.  The foregoing rights of entry are
subject to any applicable  governmental  laws,  regulations and rules concerning
industrial security.

10. Mandatory Purchase.  Lessee shall purchase all of the Equipment covered by a
Supplement on the expiration date of the lease term of the Equipment  covered by
such Supplement for a cash purchase price equal to the amount set forth in Rider
A plus an amount equal to all taxes (other than income taxes on any gain on such
sale),  costs and expenses  (including legal fees and expenses) incurred or paid
by Lessor in connection  with such sale. Upon payment by Lessee of such purchase
price, and of all other amounts then due and payable by Lessee

                                                                     Page 3 of 9

<PAGE>

hereunder, Lessor shall transfer title to such Equipment to Lessee on an "as-is,
where-is" basis, without recourse and without  representation or warranty of any
kind,  express or implied,  other than a  representation  and warranty that such
Equipment is free and clear of any liens created by Lessor.

11. Possession, Use and Changes in Location of Equipment;  Assignment by Lessee.
The Equipment shall be used in the conduct of the lawful business of Lessee, and
no item of Equipment  shall be removed from its location shown on the applicable
Supplement,  without  the prior  written  consent of Lessor.  LESSEE  SHALL NOT,
WITHOUT LESSOR'S PRIOR WRITTEN  CONSENT,  PART WITH POSSESSION OR CONTROL OF THE
EQUIPMENT OR ATTEMPT OR PURPORT TO SUBLEASE, SELL, PLEDGE, MORTGAGE OR OTHERWISE
ENCUMBER  OR SUFFER A LIEN  AGAINST  ANY  INTEREST  IN THIS  LEASE OR ANY OF THE
EQUIPMENT  NOR ASSIGN ITS RIGHTS UNDER THIS LEASE.  LESSEE  AGREES THAT IT SHALL
PROMPTLY, AT ITS EXPENSE,  SATISFY,  DISCHARGE AND OTHERWISE TAKE SUCH ACTION AS
MAY BE NECESSARY TO KEEP THE EQUIPMENT FREE AND CLEAR OF, AND TO DULY DISCHARGE,
ANY LIEN, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER ENCUMBRANCE.

12. Performance of Obligations of Lessee by Lessor. In the event that the Lessee
shall fail to promptly  perform any of its  obligations  under the provisions of
Sections 6, 7 and 8 of this Lease,  Lessor may, at its option,  perform the same
for the  account of Lessee  without  thereby  waiving  such  default or Event of
Default, and any amount paid or expense (including  reasonable attorneys' fees),
penalty or other liability incurred by Lessor in such performance, together with
interest at the rate of 1 1/2% per month  thereon (but in no event  greater than
the highest rate  permitted by  applicable  law) until paid by Lessee to Lessor,

         arising owing to Lessor or to any of its affiliates.

14. Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default specified in Subsections 13(g) or 13(h)
above shall occur,  then, and in any such event,  this Lease shall,  without any

or  declaration  from  Lessor and  without  any action or demand by Lessor,  the
Stipulated  Loss Value of the Equipment as of the rent payment date  immediately
succeeding  the date the last  installment

                                                                     Page 4 of 9

<PAGE>

of rent was  received  by Lessor  from  Lessee  plus all  unpaid  rent and other
amounts owing under or with respect to this Lease shall be  immediately  due and
payable by Lessee to Lessor. If an Event of Default, other than Event of Default
specified in  Subsections  13(g) or 13(h) above,  shall occur and be  continuing
Lessor may,  by notice of default  given to Lessee  declare  this Lease to be in
default,  whereupon  the  Stipulated  Loss Value of the Equipment as of the Rent
Payment Date  immediately  succeeding the date the last  installment of rent was
received  by Lessor  from  Lessee  together  with all unpaid  rent and all other
amounts payable under or with respect to this Lease shall become immediately due
and payable without  presentment,  demand,  protest or other notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby expressly waived. During the continuance of any Event of
Default hereunder,  Lessor shall have the right to pursue and enforce any of its
rights and remedies under this Section 14.

     (b) If an Event of  Default  shall  occur  and be  continuing,  Lessor  may
exercise,  in addition to all other  rights and  remedies  granted to it in this
Lease and in any other instrument or agreement securing,  evidencing or relating
to the  obligations  of Lessee  hereunder,  all rights and  remedies  of secured
parties under the Code or under any other  applicable law.  Without limiting the
generality  of the  foregoing,  Lessee  agrees that in any such  event,  Lessor,
without demand or performance  or other demand,  advertisement  or notice of any
kind (except the notice  specified  below of time and place of public or private
sale) to or upon  Lessee or any  other  person  (all and each of which  demands,
advertisements  and/or  notices  are hereby  expressly  waived),  may  forthwith
collect,  receive,  appropriate  and realize  upon the  Collateral,  or any part
thereof,  and/or may forthwith sell,  lease,  assign,  give option or options to
purchase or otherwise  dispose of and deliver the  Equipment  (or contract to do
so), or any part  thereof,  in one or more  parcels at public or private sale or
sales,  at any  exchange  or  broker's  board or at any of  Lessor's  offices or
elsewhere  at such  prices  as it may deem  best,  for cash or on  credit or for
future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Lessee further agrees, at
Lessor's  request,  to make the  Equipment  available  to Lessor at places which
Lessor shall select,  whether at Lessee's  premises or  elsewhere.  Lessor shall
apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation,
realization or sale (after  deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every
kind incurred therein or incidental to the care, safekeeping or otherwise of any
or all  of the  Equipment  or in any  way  relating  to  the  rights  or  Lessor
hereunder, including attorney's fees and legal expenses) to the payment in whole
or in part of the obligations of Lessee  hereunder,  in such order as Lessor may
elect and only after so  applying  such net  proceeds  and after the  payment by
Lessor of any other amount  required by any provision of law (including  Section
9-504(1)(c)  of the Code),  need  Lessor  account  for the  surplus,  if any, to
Lessee.  To the extent  permitted by applicable  law,  Lessee waives all claims,
damages,  and demands against Lessor arising out of the repossession,  retention
or sale of the  Equipment.  Lessee agrees that Lessor need not give more than 10
days'  notice  (which  notification  shall be deemed  given when mailed  postage
prepaid,  addressed  to Lessee at its address  set forth  above) of the time and
place of any  public  sale or of the time  after  which a private  sale may take
place and that such notice is reasonable  notification  of such matters.  Lessee
shall be liable  for any and all unpaid  rent and other  amounts  due  hereunder
before or during the exercise of any of the foregoing remedies, and Lessee shall
be liable for any  deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or  disposition of the
Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Lessor is entitled.

     (c) Lessor may exercise any other right or remedy which may be available to
it under  applicable law or proceed by  appropriate  court action to enforce the
terms hereof or to recover  damages for the breach  hereof or to terminate  this
Lease.

     (d) Lessee  shall be liable for any and all unpaid  rent and other  amounts
due hereunder before or during the exercise of any of the foregoing remedies and
for all  legal  fees and  other  costs and  expenses  incurred  by reason of the
occurrence  of any Event of Default or the  exercise of Lessor's  remedies  with
respect  thereto,  including all costs and expenses  incurred in connection with
the placing of the Equipment in the condition  required by the return conditions
set forth in Section 10 hereof.

     (e) No remedy  referred to in this  Section 14 is intended to be  exclusive
but each shall be  cumulative  and in addition to any other  remedy  referred to
herein or otherwise available to Lessor at law or in equity; and the exercise or
beginning  of exercise by Lessor of any one or more of such  remedies  shall not
preclude the  simultaneous  or later exercise by Lessor of any or all such other
remedies.  Lessor may  exercise any other right or remedy which may be available
to it under applicable law or proceed by appropriate court action to enforce the
terms  hereof or to recover  damages  for the breach  hereof or to rescind  this
Lease.  No express or implied  waiver by Lessor of an Event of Default  shall in
any way be, or be construed to be, a waiver of any future or subsequent Event of
Default.  To the extent  permitted by applicable  law,  Lessee hereby waives any
rights now or  hereafter  conferred  by statute or  otherwise  which may require
Lessor to sell, or lease or otherwise use the Equipment in mitigation of Lessor'
damages or losses or which may otherwise  limit or modify any of Lessor's rights
or remedies under this Lease.

     (f) Lessee hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice, except
as hereinabove  provided in this Section (to the extent  permitted by applicable
law) of any kind in connection with this Lease or any collateral.

15.  Indemnity.  Whether or not any item of  Equipment  has been  subjected to a
Supplement, Lessee assumes liability for, and shall indemnify, protect, save and
keep harmless Lessor and its agents, servants,  successors and assigns (each, an
"Indemnitee")  from and against any and all  liabilities,  obligations,  losses,
damages, disbursements,  penalties, claims, judgments, actions, suits, costs and
expenses,  including  legal expenses,  of whatever kind and nature,  imposed on,
incurred  by or  asserted  against  any  Indemnitee,  in any way  relating to or
arising  out  of  the   execution,   delivery,   enforcement,   performance   or
administration  of  this  Lease,  Lessor's  interest  in  the  Equipment  or the
manufacture,   purchase,  acceptance,  rejection,  ownership,  possession,  use,
selection,  delivery,  lease,  operation,   condition,  sale,  return  or  other
disposition of the Equipment or any part thereof (including, without limitation,
latent or other  defects,  whether  or not  discoverable  by Lessee or any other
person,  any  claim in tort for  strict  liability  and any  claim  for  patent,
trademark or copyright infringement) including,  without limitation, as a direct
or  indirect  result of the  violation  or  alleged  violation  by Lessee of any
Environmental  Law or any  law or  regulation  relating  to  Hazardous  Material
treatment,  storage,  disposal,  generation and  transportation,  air, water and
noise pollution,  soil or ground water contamination,  the handling,  storage or
release into the environment of Hazardous Materials, or with respect to, or as a
direct or indirect result of the presence on or under,  or the escape,  seepage,
leakage, spillage,  discharge,  emission or release from, properties utilized by
Lessee in the conduct of its business into or upon any land, the

                                                                     Page 5 of 9

<PAGE>

atmosphere,  or any  watercourse,  body of water or  wetland,  of any  Hazardous
Materials; provided, however, that Lessee shall not be required to indemnify any
Indemnitee  for loss or liability  arising from acts or events which occur after
the Equipment has been returned to Lessor in accordance  with this Lease, or for
loss or liability  resulting from the willful  misconduct or gross negligence of
such Indemnitee. Any payments made by Lessee under this Section 15 shall be made
on an After-Tax  Basis.  The  provisions  of this  Section 15 shall  survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

16.  Assignment,  Notices  and  Waivers.  This  Lease  and all  rights of Lessor
hereunder  shall be assignable by Lessor without  Lessee's  consent,  but Lessee
shall not be obligated to any assignee of Lessor except after written  notice of
such assignment from Lessor.  Following such assignment,  solely for the purpose
of determining assignee's rights hereunder, the term "Lessor" shall be deemed to
include or refer to Lessor's assignee.  All notices to Lessor or Lessee shall be
in writing, and shall be deemed to have been given or made when deposited in the
United States mail, first class postage prepaid, addressed as set forth above or
to such  other  address  as any of the  parties  hereto  may  from  time to time
designate in writing to the other party hereto.

17. Mandatory  Termination.  A Prohibited  Transaction (as defined below) may be
consummated only with Lessor's prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Not less than twenty (20) business days prior to the date
the proposed Prohibited Transaction is expected to be consummated,  Lessee shall
give Lessor written notice of the proposed Prohibited Transaction.  In the event
Lessor does not consent to the  consummation of such Prohibited  Transaction and
the Prohibited Transaction is nonetheless to be consummated,  Lessor may, at its
sole option,  terminate the Lease and require that Lessee  purchase all items of
Equipment on or prior to the later of the date the Prohibited  Transaction is to
be consummated or the Notice Date (as defined below) (the "Mandatory Termination
Date")  for the  Stipulated  Loss  Value  thereof  as of the Rent  Payment  Date
immediately  preceding  the date Lessor gave Lessee  written  notice of Lessor's
election  to  terminate  the  Lease  (the  "Notice  Date").  On or  prior to the
Mandatory  Termination Date, Lessee shall pay to Lessor,  the Stipulated Loss as
of the rent payment date  immediately  preceding the Notice Date,  together with
all other  amounts  then due and owing under the Lease,  including  all rent and
late charges, if any, due on or prior to the Mandatory Termination Date, and all
taxes (other than income taxes on any gain on such sale),  and reasonable  costs
and expenses  (including legal fees and expenses)  incurred or paid by Lessor in
connection  with such sale.  On receipt of the foregoing  amounts,  Lessor shall
transfer title to the Equipment to Lessee on an "AS-IS, WHERE-IS" BASIS, WITHOUT
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,  INCLUDING,  WITHOUT
LIMITATION,  ANY  REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OF
THE EQUIPMENT FOR ANY PARTICULAR  PURPOSE, OR ANY WARRANTY OF TITLE EXCEPT FOR A
WARRANTY THAT THE EQUIPMENT IS FREE AND CLEAR OF ANY LESSOR'S LIEN.

     A "Prohibited  Transaction"  shall be one in which:  (i) Lessee enters into
any  transaction  of  merger  or  consolidation  where  (x) it shall  not be the
