whether at stated maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or as a result of a
declaration of acceleration or otherwise or (ii) any other event of default
under and as defined in any Senior Indebtedness shall occur and be continuing,

written waiver, the Company shall not pay and the Holder shall not accept nor
receive any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property or otherwise) of or on
account of Subordinated Indebtedness; provided, however, that if within the
period specified in the next sentence with respect to an event of default

to an event of default has declared the Senior Indebtedness to be immediately
due and payable (or has declared such Senior Indebtedness to be immediately due
and payable and within such period has rescinded such acceleration), then and in
that event, payment of principal of, and interest on, the Note shall be resumed.

referred to in the preceding sentence shall commence upon receipt by the Holder

(which notice shall specify all events of default existing under the instruments
and agreements governing such Senior Indebtedness on the date of such notice of
which such holder of such Senior Indebtedness had actual knowledge) and shall
end at the completion of the 179th day after the beginning of such period. Only
one such 179 day period may commence within any 360 consecutive days. No Event

<PAGE>   5

obligations which are issued in exchange or substitution for any Senior
Indebtedness), which may be payable or deliverable by the Company in respect of
this Note shall be paid or delivered directly to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness (or to a banking institution selected by the court or designated by
any holder of Senior Indebtedness) for application in payment thereof in
accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders, unless and
until all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in cash or cash
equivalents.

(d) If any payment or distribution of any character whether in cash, securities
or other property, shall be received by the Holder in contravention of any of
the terms of this Article II and before all the Senior Indebtedness shall have
been paid in full in cash or cash equivalents, such payment or distribution
shall be received in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness at the time outstanding and shall forthwith be paid over or
delivered and transferred to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, or their
respective trustees, agents or representatives, as their respective interests
may appear.

Section 2.2 Obligation of Company Unconditional. The provisions of this Article
II are for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of Senior
Indebtedness on the one hand, and the Holder on the other hand, and nothing
herein shall impair, as between the Company and the Holder, the obligation of
the Company, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to the Holder the
principal hereof and interest hereon in accordance with the terms and the
provisions hereof, nor shall anything herein prevent the Holder from exercising
all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law or hereunder upon default
hereunder (including, without limitation, the right to demand payment and sue
for performance hereof), subject in each case to the rights under this Article
II of holders of Senior Indebtedness.

Section 2.3 Subrogation. Upon payment in full of Senior Indebtedness in cash or
cash equivalents, the Holder shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of
Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of assets of the
Company made in respect of Senior Indebtedness until the principal of and
interest on this Note shall be paid in full, and, for the purposes of such
subrogation, no payments to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of any cash,
property, stock or obligations to which the Holder would have been entitled but
for the provisions of Section 2.1(c) above shall, as between the Company, its
creditors (other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness) and the Holder, be
deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of Senior Indebtedness.

Section 2.4 Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness. The provisions of this
Article II shall be deemed a continuing offer to all holders of Senior
Indebtedness to act in reliance on such provisions (but no such reliance shall
be required to be proven to receive the benefits hereof) and may be enforced by
such holders and no right of any present or future holder of any Senior
Indebtedness to enforce subordination as provided in this Article II shall at
any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on
the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act by any such holder, or
by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of
this Note, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be
otherwise charged with and no purported change in the provisions of this Article
II shall be effective as against any holder of Senior

<PAGE>   6
Indebtedness existing at the time of such change without the consent of such
holder. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, the holders
of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the
consent of or notice to the Holder, and without impairing or releasing the
subordination provided in this Article II or the obligations hereunder of the
Holder to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the
following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment (including interest
rates and fees) or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, or waive
defaults under, or take additional guarantees or collateral for the benefit of,
Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior
Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which
Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise
deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior
Indebtedness; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or
collection of Senior Indebtedness; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising
any rights against the Company and any other person or entity, including any
guarantor or surety. The provisions of this Article II shall continue to be
effective, or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment,
or any part thereof, in respect of any Senior Indebtedness is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned by the holders of Senior Indebtedness upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the
Company or any Guarantor or upon or as a result of the appointment of a
receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the
Company or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise,
all as though such payments had not been made.

the business of the Company and the Guarantors, taken as a whole.

Section 3.3 Restricted Payments. The Company covenants and agrees with the
Holder that, until all principal of and interest on this Note has been paid in
full, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to,

the foregoing:

(a) if (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time
of, or would occur after giving effect on a pro forma basis to, such incurrence
of Indebtedness and (ii) on the date of such incurrence (the "Incurrence Date"),
the Coverage Ratio for the Reference Period immediately preceding the Incurrence
Date, after giving effect on a pro forma basis to the incurrence of such
Indebtedness and the use of the proceeds thereof would be at least 1.5 to 1,
then the Company or any Subsidiary may incur such Indebtedness;

(b) the Company may incur Indebtedness evidenced by this Note and each of the
Subsidiary Guarantors may incur Indebtedness evidenced by the Subordinated
Guarantee as defined in Section 3.5;

expenses and advances made for the purpose of protecting collateral that secures
the obligations under any Credit Facility or New Loan Agreement then due and
owing under any Credit Facility and/or New Loan Agreement then outstanding
(whether or not such interest, fees, expenses and advances are treated as part
of the principal balances owing under such Credit Facility or New Loan
Agreement, including accrued interest thereon) (reduced to the extent the Credit
Facilities are replaced by preferred stock as provided in Section 3.1(t)(ii));
and

<PAGE>   15
(d) the Company and its Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness in the form of

its Subsidiaries, whether now existing or hereafter in existence, to execute and
deliver a Subordinated Guarantee, (ii) each of the Subsidiary Guarantors will be

commitment from a New Lender to refinance all obligations subject to such
Maturity (a "Refinancing Commitment") and is proceeding to closure in a
reasonable fashion, unless the Refinancing contemplated under such Refinancing
Commitment is not closed within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date

Default specified in paragraph (b) or (c) of Section 4.1 hereof occurs with
respect to the Company, the principal of this Note and accrued interest thereon
shall automatically become due and payable immediately without presentment,
demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived by the Company. If any other Event of Default specified in
Section 4.1 hereof occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the
Holder may declare the principal of this Note and accrued interest thereon to be
due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company, and upon any
such declaration such principal and interest shall become due and payable
immediately without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any
kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after such a declaration of
acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the
money due has been obtained, the Holder may rescind and annul such declaration
and its consequences if it so notifies the Company of its desire to do so. Upon
and to the extent of any such rescission or annulment, such default shall cease
to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have
been cured for every purpose of this Note, but no such rescission or annulment
shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent
thereon.

Section 4.3 Preservation of Remedies. If any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, the Holder may proceed to protect and enforce its rights under this
Note by exercising such remedies as are available to the Holder in respect
thereof under applicable law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or
both, whether for specific performance of any covenant or other agreement
contained in this Note or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this
Note. No remedy conferred in this Note is intended to be exclusive of any other
remedy, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy conferred herein or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.

applicable Guaranteed Obligations have expired and been fully and indefeasibly
paid and all obligations of the Guarantors hereunder have been fully and
indefeasibly paid. The Guarantors guarantee that the Guaranteed Obligations will
be paid strictly in accordance with the terms thereof, regardless of any law,
regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any

the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable
irrespective of, and without being lessened or limited by:

legality or enforceability of any provision of, the Note or any other agreement;

<PAGE>   3

(b)  the failure of the Holder,

(i) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the
Company or any other Person (including any other guarantor of the Guaranteed
Obligations) under the provisions of this Guarantee, or otherwise, or

(ii) to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of, or
collateral securing, any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other extension, compromise,
indulgence or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(d) any reduction, limitation, variation, impairment, discontinuance or
termination of any of the Guaranteed Obligations for any reason (other than by
reason of any (x) payment which is not required to be rescinded or (y) offset
pursuant to the terms of the Note), including any claim of waiver, release,
discharge, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and
the Guarantors hereby waive any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity,
illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or
any other event or occurrence affecting, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or
otherwise (other than by reason of any payment which is not required to be
rescinded);

(e) any amendment to, rescission, waiver or other modification of, or any
consent to any departure from, any of the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or
any guarantees or security;

(f) any amendment to, rescission, waiver or other modification of, or release or
addition of, or consent to any departure from, any other guarantee held by the
Holder as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(g) the loss or the unenforceability of any other guarantee or other security
which the Holder may now or hereafter hold in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations, whether occasioned by the fault of the Holder or otherwise;

(h) any change in the name of the Company or in the incorporating documents,
capital structure, capacity or constitution of the Company, the bankruptcy or

<PAGE>   4

(k) any lack or limitation of status or of power, incapacity or disability of
the Company or any trustee or agent thereof; or

(l) any other circumstance (other than final and indefeasible payment in full)
which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable
discharge of, the Company, any surety or any other guarantor.

Any Guaranteed Obligation which may not be recoverable from the Guarantors as
guarantor shall be recoverable from the Guarantors as principal debtor in
respect thereof.

Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Note to the contrary, with respect to
each Guarantor, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations for
which such Guarantor shall be liable shall not exceed the maximum amount for
which such Guarantor can be liable without rendering its guarantee of the
Guaranteed Obligations voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent
conveyance or fraudulent transfer.

to exhaust its recourse against the Company or others or any security or other
guarantees it may at any time hold before being entitled to payment hereunder
from the Guarantors.

Section 1.4. No Demand. The liability of the Guarantors to make payment under
this Guarantee to the Holder shall arise forthwith if the Company shall fail to
pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations and the Guarantors shall promptly pay the
same, and the Guarantors hereby waive diligence, promptness, presentment,
demand, protest, notices and any requirement that the Holder proceed against the
Company.

Section 1.5. Guarantee in Addition to Other Security. The guarantee provided for
in this Guarantee shall be in addition to and not in substitution for any other
guarantee or other security that the Holder may now or hereafter hold in respect
of the Guaranteed Obligations, and the Holder or any of them shall be under no
obligation to marshal in favor of the Guarantors any other guarantee or other
security or any moneys or other assets that it may be entitled to receive or may
have a claim upon.

Section 1.6. Reinstatement. The guarantees provided for in this Guarantee and
all other terms of this Guarantee shall continue to be effective or shall be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment by the Company or any
of the Guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded, avoided, or
must otherwise be returned by the recipients thereof by reason of the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or any of the Guarantors
or for any other reason, all as though such payment had not been made, and the
Guarantors agree that they will indemnify the Holder on demand for all
reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees) incurred by the Holder in connection with such rescission.

Section 1.7. Remedies. The Guarantors agree that, subject to Section 3 hereof,
as between the Guarantors and the Holder, the obligations of the Company under
the Note may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article
IV of the Note (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable
in the circumstances provided in said Article IV) for purposes of Section 1.1
hereof notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
declaration (or

<PAGE>   5

such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the
Company and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being
deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether
or not due and payable by the Company) shall forthwith become due and payable by
the Guarantors for purposes of said Section 1.1.

Section 1.8. Subrogation Rights. The Guarantors shall not exercise any rights
which they may acquire by way of subrogation under this Guarantee, by any
payment made hereunder or otherwise, until the prior satisfaction in full of all
of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any amount paid to the Guarantors on account of
any such subrogation rights prior to the satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed
Obligations shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Holder and shall
immediately be paid to the Holder, and credited and applied against the
applicable Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance
with the terms hereof; provided, however, that upon the full and indefeasible
payment of all of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors shall be subrogated
to the rights of the Holder against the Company with respect to all Guaranteed
Obligations and, at the Guarantors, request, the Holder will execute and deliver
to the Guarantors appropriate documents (without recourse and without
representation or warranty, except that the Holder has not released, assigned or
encumbered any Guaranteed Obligations) necessary to evidence the transfer by
subrogation to the Guarantors of all Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of
the foregoing, upon notice to the Guarantors from the Holder of the occurrence
of an Event of Default and until such time as the earliest of,

(a) such Event of Default being remedied or cured as provided in the Note;

(b) such Event of Default being waived in accordance with the terms of the Note;
and

(c) all Guaranteed Obligations being indefeasibly paid in full;

the Guarantors shall postpone any and all claims they may have against the
Company to the claims of the Holder against the Company and shall refrain from
taking any action or commencing any proceeding against the Company (or its
successors or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or
otherwise) to recover any amounts in respect of payments made hereunder to the
Holder or any of them. In the event any payments are made by the Company to the
Guarantors in contravention of the preceding sentence, the Guarantors shall hold
such payments in trust for the Holder and shall forthwith pay such payments to
the Holder.

Section 1.9. Credit Information. The Holder has no duty or responsibility to
provide the Guarantors with any credit or other information concerning the
Company's affairs, financial condition or business which may come into the
possession of the Holder.

Section 1.10. Limitation on Guaranteed Obligations. In any action or proceeding
involving any state corporate law, or any state or Federal bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors
generally, if the obligations of the Guarantors under Section 1.1 hereof would
otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or
subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of
its liability under said Section 1.1, then, notwithstanding any other provision
hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further
action

<PAGE>   6

by the Guarantors, or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to
the highest amount which is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the
claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

Section 1.11. Only Evidence of Guarantee. Except for this Guarantee, the
obligations of each of the Guarantors under this Guarantee is not evidenced by
any instrument, security or other writing; no part of this Guarantee has been or
shall be assigned to or subordinated or subjected to any other security interest
in favor of anyone other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness by the
Guarantors. Until all Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full, the Guarantors
shall not issue any instrument (except for this Guarantee), security or other
writing evidencing any part of the obligations hereunder except at the request
of and in the manner consented to by the required number of holders of the
Senior Indebtedness.

Borrowers under the Credit Agreement and/or the Company under the Securities
Purchase Agreement or (ii) of the Company and/or the Guarantors to any New

grace period in the payment of any principal of, premium or interest on or fees

due and payable, whether at stated maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or
as a result of a declaration of acceleration or otherwise or (ii) any other
event of default under and as defined in any Senior Indebtedness shall occur and
be continuing, then, unless and until such default shall have been remedied by
payment in full in cash or cash equivalents (if a payment default) or by other
cure or express written waiver, such defaulting Guarantor shall not pay and the
Holder shall not accept nor receive from such defaulting Guarantor any direct or
indirect payment (in cash, property, by set-off or otherwise) of or on account
of the Guaranteed Obligations; provided, however, that if within the period
specified in the next sentence with respect to an event of default referred to
in clause (ii) above, no holder of such Senior Indebtedness then subject to an
event of default has declared such Senior Indebtedness to be immediately due and
payable (or has declared such Senior Indebtedness to be immediately due and
payable and within such period has rescinded such acceleration), then in that
event, payment of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be resumed. With respect to
any event of default under clause (ii) above, the period referred to in the
preceding sentence shall commence upon receipt by the Holder of a written notice
or notices (each, a "Stopper Notice") of the commencement of such period from
Fleet or from a New Lender which has refinanced the Indebtedness under the
Credit Agreement or any subsequent Refinancing thereof (which notice shall
specify all events of default existing under the instruments and

<PAGE>   9

agreements governing such Senior Indebtedness on the date of such notice of
which such holder of such Senior Indebtedness had actual knowledge) and shall
end at the completion of the 179th day after the beginning of such period. Only
one such 179 day period may commence within any 360 consecutive days. No Event
of Default under clause (ii) above that existed or was continuing on the date of
delivery of any Stopper Notice to the Holder shall be, or be made, the basis for
a subsequent Stopper Notice. Upon termination of any such period, the Guarantor
shall resume payments on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, subject to the
provisions of this Section 3 with respect to any events of default not set forth
in any previously delivered Stopper Notice.

(b) If any event described in paragraphs (i) or (ii) of this Section 3.1(b)
occurs with respect to any Guarantor, then all Senior Indebtedness of such
Guarantor shall first be paid in full in cash or cash equivalents before any
payment by such Guarantor of or on account of the Guaranteed Obligations:

(i) the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries shall (A) apply for or consent to
the appointment of, or the taking of possession by, a receiver, custodian,
trustee, examiner or liquidator of itself or of all or a substantial part of its
assets or property, (B) make a general assignment for the benefit of its

against it in an involuntary case under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, (F)
generally fail to pay its debts as they become due or (G) take any corporate or
limited liability company action for the purpose of effecting any of the
foregoing; or

like of the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries of all or any substantial part
of its property, or (C) similar relief in respect of the Guarantor or any of its
Subsidiaries under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
winding-up, or composition or adjustment of debts, and such proceeding or case
shall continue undismissed, or an order, judgment or decree approving or
ordering any of the foregoing shall be entered and continue unstayed and in
effect, for a period of sixty (60) or more days; or an order for relief against
the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries shall be entered in an involuntary case
under the Federal Bankruptcy Code.

(c) In any of the proceedings referred to in paragraphs (i) or (ii) of Section
3.1(b) above, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in
cash, property, stock or obligations (other than stock or obligations of the
maker issued pursuant to a plan of reorganization which are expressly
subordinated and junior (whether by law or agreement) at least to the extent
provided in this Section 3 to the payment of any stock or obligations which are
issued in exchange or substitution for any Senior Indebtedness), which may be
payable or deliverable by the Guarantor in respect of this Guarantee shall be
paid or delivered directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness (or to a

<PAGE>   10

banking institution selected by the court or person or entity making the payment
or delivery or designated by any holder of Senior Indebtedness) for application
in payment thereof in accordance with the priorities then existing among such
holders, unless and until all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full
in cash or cash equivalents.

(d) If any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities
or other property, shall be received by the Holder in contravention of any of
the terms of this Section 3 and before all the Senior Indebtedness shall have
been paid in full in cash or cash equivalents, such payment or distribution
shall be received in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness at the time outstanding and shall forthwith be paid over or
delivered and transferred to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, or their
respective trustees, agents or representatives, as their respective interests
may appear.

Section 3.2. Obligation of Guarantors Unconditional. The provisions of this
Section 3 are for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of
Senior Indebtedness on the one hand, and the Holder on the other hand, and
nothing herein shall impair, as between the Guarantors and the Holder, the
obligation of the Guarantors, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to the
Holder the Guaranteed Obligations hereon in accordance with the terms and the
provisions hereof, nor shall anything herein prevent the Holder from exercising
all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law or hereunder upon default
hereunder (including, without limitation, the right to demand payment and sue
for performance hereof), subject in each case to the rights under this Section 3
of holders of Senior Indebtedness.

Section 3.3. Subrogation. Upon payment in full of Senior Indebtedness in cash or
cash equivalents, the Holder shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of
the Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of assets of the
Guarantors made in respect of Senior Indebtedness until the principal of and
interest on this Guarantee shall be paid in full, and, for the purposes of such
subrogation, no payments to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of any cash,
property, stock or obligations to which the Holder would have been entitled but
for the provisions of Section 3.1(c) above shall, as between the Guarantors,
their creditors (other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness) and the
Holder, be deemed to be a payment by the Guarantors to or on account of Senior
Indebtedness.

Section 3.4. Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness. The provisions of this
Section 3 shall be deemed a continuing offer to all holders of Senior
Indebtedness to act in reliance on such provisions (but no such reliance shall
be required to be proven to receive the benefits hereof) and may be enforced by
such holders and no right of any present or future holder of any Senior
Indebtedness to enforce subordination as provided in this Section 3 shall at any
time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the
part of any Guarantor or by any act or failure to act by any such holder, or by
any non-compliance by any Guarantor with the terms, provisions and covenants of
this Guarantee, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or
be otherwise charged with and no purported change in the provisions of this
Section 3 shall be effective as against any holder of Senior Indebtedness
existing at the time of such change without the consent of such holder. Without
in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, the holders of Senior
Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or
notice to the Holder, and

<PAGE>   11

without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Section 3 or
the obligations hereunder of the Holder to the holders of Senior Indebtedness,
do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of
payment (including interest rates and fees) or extend the time of payment of, or
renew or alter, or waive defaults under, or take additional guarantees or
collateral for the benefit of, Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or
supplement in any manner Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the
same or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (ii) sell,
exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or
otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness; (iii) release any Person liable in any
manner for the payment or collection of Senior Indebtedness; and (iv) exercise
or refrain from exercising any rights against the Guarantors and any other
person or entity, including any guarantor or surety. The provisions of this
Section 3 shall continue to be effective, or shall be reinstated, as the case
may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, in respect of any Senior
Indebtedness is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the
holders of Senior Indebtedness upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution,
liquidation or reorganization of the Guarantors or upon or as a result of the
appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar
officer for, any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or
otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

Section 3.5. Notice by Guarantors. Each Guarantor shall promptly notify the
Holder of any facts known by such Guarantor that would cause a payment of any
Guaranteed Obligations to violate this Section 3 but failure to give such notice
shall not affect the subordination of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Senior
Indebtedness as provided in this Section 3.

Section 4. MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 4.1. Information. Each of the Guarantors covenants and agrees that it
will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Holder copies of all documents, data,
and information (collectively, "Information") regarding the Guarantors provided
to Banks at the time such Information is provided to the Banks or as soon
thereafter as is practicable.

Section 4.2. No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Holder or any of its
agents to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in
exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Holder or any of its
agents of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The
remedies herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by
law.

Section 4.3. Successors and Assigns; Mergers. (a) All agreements contained in
this Guarantee bind the Guarantors and inure to the benefit of the Holder and to
its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. The Guarantors may not
transfer, assign or delegate their obligations or rights hereunder without the
prior, written consent of the Holder.

(b) No Guarantor may merge or consolidate with, or sell substantially all of its
assets to, another Person (other than another Guarantor) without the prior
written consent of the Holder which consent may not be

<PAGE>   12

unreasonably withheld, provided that such consent shall not be required if the
agreement pursuant to which the Guarantor will merge with, or sell substantially
all of its assets to, another Person requires that Person to assume the
Guarantor's obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following
shall not be prohibited by this Section 4.3(b) or any other provision of this
Guarantee: (i) a transfer or proposed transfer of the capital stock or other
equity of a Guarantor that is not deemed to be a Change of Control of such
Guarantor as defined in Section 3.1(f) of the Note; or (ii) any transfer of all
or a portion of the assets of a Guarantor, so long as such transfer is upon
terms which are fair and reasonable to the business of the Company and the
Guarantors, taken as a whole, that is either expressly authorized under a Credit
Facility or New Loan Agreement, as the case may be, to which such Guarantor is a
party or is consented to by the required Banks or New Lender of such Guarantor,
as the case may be (a "Permitted Transfer"). Upon the occurrence of a Permitted
Transfer constituting the transfer of the capital stock or other equity of a
Guarantor or Guarantors, the obligations of such Guarantor or Guarantors under
this Guarantee shall automatically terminate as of the date of closing of any
such Permitted Transfer, without the need for the Holder or said Guarantor or
Guarantors to take any further action, and said Guarantor or Guarantors shall be
released from any and all obligations under this Guarantee and the Note (the
"Termination and Release"). Upon the occurrence of a Permitted Transfer, the
proceeds of such Permitted Transfer, net of the reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by the applicable Guarantor in connection with the Permitted Transfer
and subject to the provisions for making distributions or dividends pursuant to
Section 4.4 of this Guarantee, shall be used in the manner permitted by the
Banks and/or any New Lender, as the case may be. Upon the occurrence of a
Permitted Transfer constituting a transfer of assets, the Guarantors and Holder
understand, acknowledge and agree that: (i) the Holder shall have no claim
whatsoever to such assets either pursuant to this Guarantee or at law or in
equity; and (ii) all such assets shall be transferred free and clear of any
obligations under this Guarantee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Guarantee, the Holder shall execute all documents reasonably
requested by the Guarantor or Guarantors taking part in any Permitted Transfer
for purposes of (i) further evidencing a Termination and Release or (ii) with
respect to any Permitted Transfer constituting a transfer of assets, evidencing
that said assets are being transferred free and clear of any obligations under
this Guarantee.

(c) Except for the provisions for making those distributions or dividends
permitted under Section 4.4 of this Guarantee and except for any Permitted
Transfer, neither the Company nor any of the Guarantors will, nor permit any of
its Subsidiaries to, enter into any material transaction (including without
limitation the purchase, sale or exchange of property of a material value, the
rendering of any service of a material value, the making of any material
investment in a Related Party, or the repayment of any material indebtedness
owed to a Related Party) with a Related Party except upon terms which are fair
and reasonable to the business of the Company and the Guarantors, taken as a
whole. As used herein "Related Party" of any Person means any other Person
directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with
such Person. A Person shall be deemed to control another Person if (i) the
controlling Person owns 10% or more of any class of voting securities (or other
voting ownership interests) of the controlled Person, (ii) the controlling
Person owns 50% of more of the equity of the controlled Person, or (iii)
possesses, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of
the management

<PAGE>   13

or policies of the controlled Person, whether through ownership of stock, by
contract or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Guarantee, the term "Related Party" shall not include the Guarantors or the
Company.

Section 4.4. Restrictions on Distributions. (a) Until all the Guaranteed
Obligations have been paid in full, no Guarantor will declare or make, directly
or indirectly, any distribution or dividend of cash to its shareholders or
members, as the case may be, on account of being a shareholder or member, as the
case may be, except for distributions or dividends of cash to shareholders or
members, as the case may be, that: (i) constitute S Income Distributions; (ii)
are loaned by the recipient thereof to any one or more of the Guarantors or the
Company, provided that such recipient is either a party to the Affiliate
Subordination Agreement or, prior to making such loan, becomes a party to the
Affiliate Subordination Agreement; (iii) are contributed as capital by the
recipient thereof to the Company or any one or more of the Guarantors; (iv) are
paid to one or more of the Banks or a New Lender; or (v) with respect to any
such cash dividends or distributions to shareholders of those Guarantors which
are C-corporations, are used to pay federal and/or state income taxes as a
result of distributions made pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii) and/or (iv) above.
Nothing contained in this Section 4.4 shall impair or prohibit any Guarantor
from paying a reasonable salary or other compensation to its employees or
persons who perform management, consulting or other services for a Guarantor on
account of such employment or services.

(b) For purposes of the above: i) "S Income Distributions" means, with respect
to each Guarantor that is an S-corporation or limited liability company, any
distribution or dividend of cash made to any shareholder or member of such
Guarantor in amounts not in excess of the highest marginal rate payable by
individuals under federal and applicable state law, but in no event more than
fifty percent (50%) of the S Income of such Guarantor as determined by such
Guarantor's independent public accountants to be necessary for the related
fiscal year; and ii) "S Income" means the amount shown as taxable income
allocated to the shareholders or members of a Guarantor and attributable to the
net income of such Guarantor as reported each year on Form 1120-S or Form 1065,
as applicable, or any successor form thereto.

Section 4.5. Additional Subsidiaries. Each of the Guarantors covenants and
agrees with the Holder that it will cause each of its Subsidiaries, whether now
existing or hereafter in existence, to execute and deliver this Guarantee.

Section 4.6. Severability. Any provision of this Guarantee that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 4.7. Construction. Each agreement contained herein shall be construed
(absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other
agreement contained herein, so that compliance with any one agreement shall not
(absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with
any other agreement. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by
any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall
be

<PAGE>   14

applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

Section 4.8. Governing Law. This Guarantee shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of
the State of Indiana without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles
thereof.

Section 4.9. Expenses. The Guarantors shall indemnify the Holder on demand in
respect of all costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred by
it in connection with the enforcement of this Guarantee or the preservation of
the rights of the Holder as a result of any breach by the Guarantors of their
obligations hereunder.

Section 4.10. Notices. All notices and communications provided for hereunder
shall be in writing and sent, and deemed received, as provided in Section 7.1 of
the Note (i) if to the Holder, to the address specified for the Holder in or
pursuant to the Note and (ii) if to the Guarantors, to the addresses for the
Guarantors set forth on the signature pages hereof.

Section 4.11. Amendments. This Guarantee may be amended, and observance of any
term hereof waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with)
the written consent of the Guarantors and the Holder.

Section 4.12. Obligation to Make Payment in U.S. Dollars. All payments made by
the Guarantors under this Guarantee shall be in U.S. Dollars and, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, the obligations of the Guarantors to make such payments
in U.S. Dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any
recovery pursuant to any judgment, which is expressed in or converted into any
currency other than U.S. Dollars, except to the extent such tender or recovery
would result in the actual receipt by the Holder of the full amount of U.S.
Dollars expressed to be payable in respect of any such obligations at the
prevailing exchange rate on the date of such tender or recovery. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, the obligation of the Guarantors to make payments in
U.S. Dollars as aforesaid shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional
cause of action for the purpose of recovery in U.S. Dollars of the amount, it
any, by which such receipt shall fall short of the full amount of U.S. Dollars
expressed to be payable in respect of any such obligations, and shall not be
affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due under this Guarantee.

Section 4.13. Release. Upon all amounts of principal of and interest on the Note
being paid in full, the Guarantors shall be released from their obligations
under this Guarantee.

Section 4.14. Jurisdiction and Process. The Guarantors agree that any legal
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guarantee or any other
document executed in connection herewith, or any legal action or proceeding to
execute or otherwise enforce any judgment obtained against any Guarantor, for
breach hereof or thereof, or against any of its properties, may be brought in
the courts of the State of Indiana or the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Indiana by or on behalf of the Holder, as the Holder may
elect, and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for purposes of any such legal action
or proceeding. The Guarantors hereby agree that service of process in any such
proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof

<PAGE>   15

by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail),
postage prepaid, to them, at their respective addresses specified in Section 4.8
or at such other address of which the Holder shall have been notified pursuant
thereto. In addition, the Guarantors hereby irrevocably waive to the fullest
extent permitted by law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to
the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to this Guarantee or any other document executed in connection herewith brought
in the courts of the State of Indiana or the United States District Court for
the Northern District of Indiana, and any claim that any such suit, action or
proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 4.15. Headings, Etc.. The headings of the Sections of this Guarantee
have been inserted for convenience and reference only, are not to be considered
a part hereof, and shall in no way modify or restrict any of the terms or
provisions hereof.
