covenant set forth in Section 6.1(d) of the Credit Agreement for the fiscal
quarter ended March 31, 2002;

          WHEREAS such non-compliance constitutes an Event of Default under
Section 7 of the Credit Agreement; and

          WHEREAS Iris Graphics is entitled to remedies as provided in the
Credit Agreement as a result of such Event of Default, including but not limited
to a 3% increase in the Applicable Margin.

Such Waiver shall not apply to any Default or Event of Default other than as
specified above and for any time period other than as specified above, whether
such Default or Event of Default is known or unknown as of the date of this

Agreement, Guarantee and

accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

          2.8 INTEREST RATES AND PAYMENT DATES.

          (a) The Notes shall bear interest at the same fluctuating rate as the

          (c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of the Notes shall
not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section plus 5%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest
payable on the Notes or any fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be
paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise),
such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate
then applicable to a Base Rate Loan (as determined in the Creo Agreement
pursuant to the foregoing

<PAGE>

provisions) plus 5%, in each case, with respect to
clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount
is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall
be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon,
New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Lenders by wire transfer to
an account or accounts specified by the Lenders, in Dollars and in immediately
available funds. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other
than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day.

          2.12 REQUIREMENTS OF LAW.

          (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in
the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by the Lenders with any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

               (i) shall subject the Lenders to any tax of any kind whatsoever
          with respect to this Agreement or change the basis of taxation of
          payments to the Lenders in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded
          Taxes covered by Section 2.13 and changes in the rate of tax on the
          overall net income of the Lenders);

               (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special

          by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances,

          funds by, any office of the Lenders that is not otherwise included in
          the determination of the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Creo
          Agreement); or

               (iii) shall impose on the Lenders any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lenders,
by an amount that the Lenders deems to be material, of making, converting into,
continuing or maintaining a Eurodollar Loan (as defined in the Creo Agreement)
or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any
such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay the Lenders, upon its demand, any
additional amounts necessary to compensate the Lenders for such increased cost
or reduced amount receivable. If the Lenders becomes

<PAGE>

entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall
promptly notify the Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become so
entitled.

          (b) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to
this Section submitted by the Lenders to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this
Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the
Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

          2.13 TAXES.

          (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be

charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied,
collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net
income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed
on the Lenders as a result of a present or former connection between the Lenders
and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any
such connection arising solely from the Lenders having executed, delivered or
performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies,
imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings ("NON-EXCLUDED
TAXES") or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to
the Lenders hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Lenders shall be increased
to the extent necessary to yield to the Lenders (after payment of all
Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable
hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, PROVIDED,
however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts
payable to the Lenders with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed on amounts
payable to the Lenders at the time the Lenders becomes a party to this Agreement
or thereafter, except to the extent that the Lenders's assignor (if any) was
entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the
Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph.

          (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded
Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to
remit to the Lenders the required receipts or other required documentary
evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for any incremental taxes,
interest or penalties that may become payable by the Lenders as a result of any
such failure.

          (d) The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable
hereunder.

or control, directly or indirectly, any interest in any other corporation,
association, or other business entity other than the Subsidiaries set forth on

Loan Party party thereto, shall constitute valid and legally binding obligations

respective terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and other laws of general
application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, as limited by
laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or
other equitable remedies. All corporate action on the part of each Loan Party

action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Borrower's
knowledge, currently threatened against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries,
or any basis therefor known to the Borrower, that questions the validity of the
Loan Documents or the right of the Loan Parties to enter into them, or to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or that might
result, either individually or in the aggregate, in any Material Adverse Effect.
Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 3.5, neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is a party or subject to the provisions of any order, writ,
injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or
instrumentality. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 3.5, there is no action, suit,
proceeding or investigation by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries currently
pending or which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries intends to initiate.
The foregoing includes, without limitation, actions pending or threatened (or
any basis therefor known to the Borrower) involving the prior employment of any
of the Borrower's or its Subsidiaries' employees, their use in connection with
the Borrower's or its Subsidiaries' business of any information or technologies
allegedly proprietary to any of their former employers, or their obligations
under any agreements with prior employers.

          3.6 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. Each Group Member owns or possesses
sufficient legal rights to all patents, trademarks, service marks, tradenames,
copyrights, trade secrets, licenses, information and proprietary rights and

business without any conflict with, or infringement of, the rights of others. To
the Borrower's

<PAGE>

knowledge, no third party is infringing or violating any Group Member's
Intellectual Property Rights. The Borrower has not received any written
communications alleging that any Group Member has violated or, by conducting its
business, would violate any of the Intellectual Property Rights of any other
person or entity. Except with respect to license agreements entered into in the
ordinary course of a Group Member's business, or as disclosed in Schedule 3.6,
there are no outstanding options, licenses or agreements of any kind related to
the foregoing, nor is any Group Member bound by, or a party to, any options,
licenses or agreements of any kind with respect to Intellectual Property Rights
of any other forms.

          3.7 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND INVENTION ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENTS. Each

(collectively, "SERVICE PROVIDERS") has entered into an agreement with the
Borrower regarding confidentiality, non-solicitation of employees and customers
and assignment of all Intellectual Property Rights, technical information and
other information developed and/or worked on by such Service Provider while
employed or engaged with the Borrower (each, a "CONFIDENTIALITY AND INVENTION
ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT"). To the Borrower's knowledge, (i) no past or present
Service Provider is in violation of any term of any Confidentiality and
Invention Assignment Agreement between the Borrower and such Service Provider;
and (ii) it is not nor will it be necessary to use any inventions of any of its
Service Providers (or persons it currently intends to hire) made prior to their
employment or engagement by the Borrower. Each Service Provider hired or engaged
by the Borrower after the date hereof shall, prior to their employment or
engagement with the Borrower, enter into a Confidentiality and Invention
Assignment Agreement with the Borrower.

          3.8 COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS. No Group Member is in violation
in any respect or default of any Requirements of Law, which violation or default
is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No event has
occurred which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would
constitute a material breach of or default under any of the foregoing, which
material violation or breach or default is reasonably likely to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.8, the execution,
delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated thereby will not result in any such violation or
breach or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time
and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision, agreement,
commitment, arrangement, license, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or
contract or an event which results in the creation of any lien, charge or
encumbrance upon any assets of any Loan Party (other than the Liens created by
the Security Documents.) Neither the execution or delivery of this Agreement,
nor the carrying on of any Group Member's business by the employees of such
Group Member, nor the conduct of such Group Member's business as proposed, will
conflict in any material respect with or result in a material breach of the
terms, conditions, or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any
contract, covenant or instrument under which any of such Group Member's
employees is now obligated.

than ordinary advances to such Group Member's employees for business expenses,

directly or indirectly, indebted to such Group Member (other than in connection
with purchases of such Group Member's stock) or, to the Borrower's knowledge,
have any direct or indirect ownership interest in any firm or corporation with
which any Group Member is affiliated or with which any Group Member has a
business relationship, or any firm or corporation which competes with any Group

Regulation X of the Board) that limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

          3.25 ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The Borrower acknowledges that it is indebted to
the Lenders pursuant to the Existing Notes without defense, offset or

          8.6 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; ASSIGNMENTS.

          (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit the
Borrower and the Lenders, all future holders of the Notes and their respective
successors, heirs, representatives and assigns, except that the Borrower may not
assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Lenders and the

          (b) Solely to the extent an assignment is permitted pursuant to
Section 8.6(a), any of the Lenders (an "ASSIGNOR") may, in accordance with
applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to any Person (an
"ASSIGNEE") all or any part of their rights and obligations under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, executed
by such Assignee and such Assignor. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance
and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto
and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights
and obligations of the Lenders hereunder as set forth therein, and (y) the
Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and
Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor's rights and
obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party
hereto). Except in the case of the assignment of all of the Lenders' interest in
this Agreement, the Lenders shall retain all rights and obligations with respect

compliance with and consent to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the
Notes and any Security Documents.

          8.7 ADJUSTMENTS; SET-OFF. In addition to any rights and remedies of
the Lenders provided by law, the Lenders shall have the right, without prior
notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower
to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and
payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such
amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any
currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent,
matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Lenders or any branch or
agency thereof to or for the credit

<PAGE>

or the account of the Borrower, as the case may be. The Lenders agrees promptly
to notify the Borrower after any such setoff and application made by the

validity of such setoff and application.

may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto or thereto on any number of
separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be

unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     of which the Lenders shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

          (b) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect
     service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the
