INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"); the Subsidiary Loan Parties
identified under the caption "Subsidiary Loan Parties" on the signature pages

            The Borrower, certain lenders (the "Lenders"), the Administrative
Agent and CIBC Inc. and First Union National Bank (as successor by acquisition

            The Borrower and the Subsidiary Loan Parties have requested that the

so agree on the terms and conditions provided below. Accordingly, the parties
hereto agree as follows:

      expenditure items for which the Borrower desires that the proceeds of
      Loans under the Credit Agreement be available during the Budget Period,
      broken down by category of expenses on a week-by-week basis, which budget
      has been previously delivered to each of the Lenders and identified as the
      "Budget" for purposes of this Waiver Agreement.

            "Budget Period" means the period commencing on March 30, 2000 and
      ending on July 29, 2000.

      Date.

            "Specified Period Effective Date" means the date (not later than

      Section 4 hereof shall have been satisfied (or if not satisfied, waived by

      VII of the Credit Agreement to the extent arising out of a failure to pay
      any Material Indebtedness (but not to the extent arising out of a
      declaration by any holder of Material Indebtedness that such Material
      Indebtedness is to become due and payable, or to the extent the
      Administrative Agent shall receive a notice of acceleration from any
      holder of such Material Indebtedness, or a trustee on behalf of any such
      holder).

            Section 2. Certain Matters Relating to Remedies; Applicable Rate.

            (a) Waiver in Respect of Specified Provisions. The Administrative
Agent and the Lenders agree, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof,
during the Specified Period to waive compliance by the Borrower with the
Specified Provisions. Notwithstanding such waiver, it is understood by the
Borrower that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders retain the right to
exercise, and have not waived, any rights or remedies with respect to any
Default or Event of Default or any rights or remedies in respect thereof under
the Credit Agreement or otherwise, other than with respect to the Events of
Default arising out of the Specified Provisions. During the Specified Period

exercise all of their rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement, except as
may be expressly limited or otherwise provided in this Waiver Agreement.

            (b) Waiver of Certain Representations. The Administrative Agent and

<PAGE>

            (c) Applicable Rate. The Borrower agrees that, commencing on the
Specified Period Effective Date, the "Applicable Rate" with respect to each Loan
shall be 0.50% plus the Applicable Rate that would otherwise be applicable to
such Loan under the Credit Agreement.

            Section 3. Representations and Warranties. Each Loan Party
represents and warrants to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent that:

            (a) This Waiver Agreement is within each Loan Party's corporate or
      other powers, has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other
      action and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan
      Party, enforceable against each Loan Party in accordance with its terms.

            (b) Both immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Waiver
      Agreement and also after giving effect thereto, (i) no Default shall have
      occurred and be continuing and (ii) the representations and warranties set
      forth in Article III of the Credit Agreement (other than in Section
      3.04(c) thereof) are true and correct as if made on and as of the date
      hereof and as if each reference in said Article III to "this Agreement" or
      words of similar import included reference to the Credit Agreement as
      amended hereby (or, to the extent such representations and warranties are
      stated to have been made solely as of an earlier date, such
      representations and warranties were true and correct on and as of such
      earlier date).

            (c) The Budget is based upon good faith estimates and assumptions
      that are (and are believed by management of the Borrower to be) reasonable
      as of the date hereof. No Default or Event of Default other than the
      Events of Default referred to in the definition of "Specified Provisions"
      is anticipated to occur during the Specified Period.

            (d) The Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are legal,
      valid and binding obligations of each Loan Party party thereto,
      enforceable in accordance with their terms (and each Loan Party hereby
      reaffirms, reconfirms and restates, all such obligations to the Lenders
      and the Administrative Agent).

            (e) The information, reports, financial statements, exhibits and
      schedules furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Borrower to the
      Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation,
      preparation or delivery of this Waiver Agreement or included herein
      delivered pursuant hereto, do not contain any untrue statement of material
      fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
      herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
      made, not misleading. All written information furnished after the date
      hereof by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Administrative
      Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Waiver Agreement and the
      Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will
      be true and correct in every material respect, or (in the case of

                                Waiver Agreement
<PAGE>

      projections) based on reasonable estimates, on the date as of which such
      information is stated or certified.

            Section 4. Conditions Precedent. The waivers set forth in Section 2
above shall become effective, as of the Specified Period Effective Date, upon
satisfaction of the following conditions (and any documents required to be
delivered under this Section 4 shall be in form and substance satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent):

            (a) Agreement. Receipt by the Administrative Agent of one or more
      counterparts of this Waiver Agreement, duly executed and delivered by the
      Borrower and each Subsidiary Loan Party (or other evidence satisfactory to
      the Administrative Agent of such execution and delivery).

            (b) Payment of Fees. Payment by the Borrower of (i) a waiver fee in
      such amount as the Borrower shall have agreed in writing to pay to the
      Lenders in connection herewith and (ii) all costs and other expenses of
      the Administrative Agent (including, but not limited to, the fees,
      expenses and costs of external legal counsel for the Administrative Agent
      in connection with the Credit Agreement and herewith) which the Borrower
      is obligated to pay pursuant to Section 9.03(a) of the Credit Agreement or
      otherwise, to the extent that written invoices therefor shall have been
      submitted to the Borrower.

            (c) Other Documents. Such other documents relating to the
      transactions contemplated hereby as the Administrative Agent or any Lender
      (acting through the Administrative Agent) may reasonably request.

            Section 5. Termination. The waivers set forth in Section 2 above
shall terminate and be of no further force or effect on the date (the "Specified
Period Termination Date") which is the earlier of:

            (a) July 29, 2000; and

            (b) the date the Administrative Agent gives notice to the Borrower
      (which notice shall be given by the Administrative Agent if so instructed
      by the Required Lenders) of the termination of the temporary waiver set
      forth in Section 2 above by reason of the occurrence of any one or more of
      the following events:

                  (i) a breach in any material respect by any of the Loan
            Parties of any of the representations or warranties set forth in
            this Waiver Agreement;

                  (ii) a breach by any of the Loan Parties of any of the
            certifications, covenants or other provisions set forth in this
            Waiver Agreement or in any officer's certificate delivered pursuant
            hereto;

                                Waiver Agreement
<PAGE>

                  (iii) any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, other
            than an Event of Default arising out of any Specified Provision,
            shall occur and be continuing; or

                  (iv) the Borrower shall have delivered a certificate pursuant
            to Section 6(a) hereof in connection with any borrowing, but shall
            not have applied the proceeds thereof to the expenditures, in the
            amounts and for the purposes, described in said certificate.

From and after the Specified Period Termination Date, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders shall be entitled to immediately exercise and enforce any and
all rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as
a consequence of the occurrence of any Event of Default arising out of any
Specified Provision (or any other Event of Default) that has occurred prior to,
during or after the Specified Period and is continuing.

            Section 6. Additional Covenants. Without prejudice to the covenants
and agreements set forth in the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents,
the Borrower covenants and agrees as follows:

            (a) Not later than 2 Business Days prior to any borrowing of a
      Revolving Loan during the Specified Period, the proceeds of which will be
      used in whole or in part to make expenditures that are of a type not
      expressly contemplated by the Budget and that will exceed $1,250,000 for
      the week in which such borrowing is to occur, the Borrower will deliver to
      the Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
      that, after making such borrowing (and taking into account the Borrower's
      good faith estimate of the net increase in aggregate borrowings to occur
      during such week) the aggregate unused Revolving Commitments will be at
      least equal to the amount set forth in Annex I opposite the respective
      week in which such borrowing is being made, together with a certificate of
      the chief financial officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable
      detail the proposed use of such proceeds and a calculation of such
      aggregate unused Revolving Commitment amount, it being understood that,
      unless the provisions of this paragraph (a) are satisfied with respect to
      each requested borrowing of a Revolving Loan during the Specified Period,
      the proceeds of which are to be applied as described above, the Lenders
      shall not be obligated to make such Loan anything in the Credit Agreement
      to the contrary notwithstanding; and

            (b) Not later than April 30, 2000, the Borrower shall relocate its
      concentration account to an account at The Chase Manhattan Bank, and shall
      execute and deliver such control agreements and other documents relating
      to such concentration account, and take such action as shall be necessary
      to perfect of the security interest of the Lenders therein, as the
      Administrative Agent shall request.

            Section 7. Continuing Effect. Except as expressly provided herein,

full force and effect, and all rights, powers and remedies of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders thereunder are hereby expressly reserved. Without in any
way limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower and the Subsidiary
Loan Parties shall be liable in accordance with the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents for any and all sums and charges due pursuant thereto. The

Loan Parties remain obligated by their respective representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements, and by the other provisions set forth in the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Administrative Agent or any Lender, either in their capacities under the Credit
Agreement or in any other capacity, to restructure any Indebtedness of the
Borrower, or (ii) an intention by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the
Borrower, either in their capacities under the Credit Agreement or in any other

commitment, waiver, modification or agreement not to exercise has been offered,
granted, extended or agreed to by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders,
either in their capacities under the Credit Agreement or in any other capacity.
Nothing set forth in this Waiver Agreement shall be construed so as to require
the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, either in their capacities under the
Credit Agreement or in any other capacity, to agree to the terms of any
modification proposed by the Borrower to the Credit Agreement or any other
document or agreement to which the Administrative Agent or any Lender is a
party.

      WHEREAS, the Company considers the Executive as one of a select group of

payments as of the date of the Executive's termination of employment and using
the 1983 Basic Group Annuity Mortality Table projected to 1988 with Scale H. For
purposes of determining Actuarial Equivalent, male mortality shall be used for

Retirement, date of death or Disability, whichever is applicable, provided,

amount of the Executive's Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be equal to the
excess, if any, of the amount of the Executive's "Unreduced Supplemental
Retirement Benefit" as described in subparagraph (a) over the Executive's "Other
Company Plan Benefits" as described in subparagraph (b), where

                                       4
<PAGE>

      a. "Unreduced Supplemental Retirement Benefit" is equal to the sum of 30%
of the Executive's Average Final Compensation after completion of 10 years of
Vesting Service, plus 2% of the Executive's Average Final Compensation
multiplied by each additional year of Vesting Service in excess of 10; provided,
however, that in no event shall the Executive's Unreduced Supplemental
Retirement Benefit exceed the lesser of (i) 50% of his Average Final
Compensation, or (ii) $600,000; and

      b. "Other Company Plan Benefits" are the amounts payable under the SGC
Pension Plan, the SGC Profit Sharing Plan, the Company's Excess Benefit Plan and
the Company's disability income plan (other than (i) amounts payable under group
life insurance, Retirement and Survivor's Insurance under the Federal Social
Security Act, Worker's Compensation and other Company plans required by any
governmental authority, (ii) amounts payable under the SGC Savings Plan to the
extent attributed to amounts paid or contributed by the Company or any
predecessor thereto, and any amounts payable after termination of employment as
retirement, death or disability benefits (other than severance benefits) under a
contract between the Company and the Executive.

      If the Executive has a Beneficiary on the date Supplemental Retirement
Benefits commence under this Agreement, Other Company Plan Benefits shall be
determined, on a joint and two-thirds survivor annuity basis, except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, as of such date, with the Executive's
Beneficiary as joint annuitant. The adjustment to the amount otherwise payable
under the applicable Company plan for the applicable joint survivor annuity form
of payment shall be made on the basis of the factors specified in such Company
plan or, if no such factors are set forth in such Company plan, on an Actuarial
Equivalent basis. If the Executive does not

                                       5
<PAGE>

have a Beneficiary on the date Supplemental Retirement Benefits are to commence
under this Agreement, Other Company Plan Benefits shall be determined on a
single life annuity basis.

      The Executive's Supplemental Retirement Benefit under this Section 2 shall
be payable monthly for life commencing on the first day of the month following
the Executive's termination of employment after attainment of age 60.

3. Termination of Employment Prior to Age 60

      In the case of the Executive's termination of employment with the Company
prior to attaining age 60 (other than by reason of the Executive's death or
Disability) but after completing 10 years of Vesting Service, the amount of the
Executive's Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be equal to the Executive's
Unreduced Supplemental Retirement Benefit (computed on the basis of the Vesting
Service which the Executive would have completed had the Executive remained in
the employ of the Company until attainment of age 60), multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of the Executive's years of Vesting Service
at termination of employment (up to a maximum of 20) and the denominator of
which is the number of years of Vesting Service (up to a maximum of 20) which
the Executive would have completed had the Executive remained in the employ of
the Company until attainment of age 60, offset by the amount of the Executive's
Other Company Plan Benefits; provided that Other Company Plan Benefits shall be
assumed to commence on the first day of the month after the Executive's
attainment of age 60 and to be paid in the form of a joint and two-thirds
survivor annuity unless Executive does not have a Beneficiary in which case
benefits shall be assumed paid in the form of a life annuity. The Executive's
Supplemental Retirement

                                       6
<PAGE>

Benefit under this Section 3 shall be payable monthly for life commencing on the
first day of the month following the Executive's attainment of age 60.

4. Disability Retirement

      In the case of the Executive's Disability Retirement, the amount of the
Executive's Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be the amount determined under
Section 2 of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Executive's Unreduced
Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall be computed on the basis of the Vesting
Service which the Executive would have completed had the Executive remained in
the employ of the Company until attainment of age 60, and the Executive's
Unreduced Supplemental Retirement Benefit shall not be offset by Other Company
Plan Benefits prior to the date on which payment of such Other Company Plan
Benefits commence. The Executive's Supplemental Retirement Benefit under this
Section 4 shall be payable monthly for life commencing on the first day of the
month following the Executive's Disability Retirement.

5. Death Prior to Retirement

      a. In the event that the Executive dies while in the employ of the Company
and has a Beneficiary on the date of his death, the Executive's Beneficiary
shall receive, beginning with the first day of the month following the
Executive's death and payable monthly, an annual amount equal to two-thirds of
the Executive's Unreduced Supplemental Retirement Benefit (computed on the basis
of the Vesting Service which the Executive would have completed had the
Executive remained in the employ of the Company until attainment of age 60)
offset by the Other Company Plan Benefits; provided, however, that such offset
shall be made at such time as Other Company Plan Benefits are payable

                                       7
<PAGE>

(whether or not the Beneficiary has elected to defer payment to a later date)
and in an amount equal to (i) a life annuity payable to the Executive's
Beneficiary that is equal to the Actuarial Equivalent of the SGC Profit Sharing
Plan balance, and (ii) the survivor annuity actually payable to Executive's
Beneficiary pursuant to any Other Company Plan, each determined as of the
earliest date on which payments of Other Company Plan Benefits are payable to
the Beneficiary.

      b. In the event that the Executive dies after termination of employment
with the Company but prior to commencement of Supplemental Retirement Benefit
payments under this Agreement, and has a Beneficiary on the date of his death,
the Executive's Beneficiary shall receive, beginning with the first day of the
month following the Executive's death and payable monthly, an annual amount
equal to two-thirds of the Executive's Unreduced Supplemental Retirement Benefit
offset by the amount of Other Company Plan Benefits; provided, however, that
such offset shall be made at such time as Other Company Plan Benefits are
payable (whether or not the Beneficiary has elected to defer payment to a later
date) and in an amount equal to the benefit that would have been payable to
Executive's Beneficiary had Executive retired on the date of his or her death
and commenced benefit payments in the form of a joint and two-thirds annuity on
such date.

6. Death After Retirement

      In the event of the Executive's death after commencement of the
Executive's Supplemental Retirement Benefit, the Executive's Beneficiary shall
receive, beginning with the first day of the month following the Executive's
death and payable monthly, an annual amount equal to two-thirds of the

                                       8
<PAGE>

Supplemental Retirement Benefit that was being paid to the Executive prior to
the Executive's death.

7. Limitation on Spouse's Benefits

      Payment of Supplemental Retirement Benefits to the Executive's Beneficiary
under Sections 5 or 6 hereof shall terminate on the earlier of the date of death
or remarriage of such Beneficiary.

8. Benefits Payable by Company

      All benefits payable under this Agreement shall constitute an unfunded
obligation of the Company. Payments shall be made, as due, from the general
funds of the Company. The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion,
establish one or more accounts, funds or trusts to reflect its obligations under
this Agreement and may make such investments as it may deem desirable to assist
it in meeting such obligations. Any assets held in such accounts, funds or
trusts shall remain assets of the Company subject to claims of its creditors. No
person eligible for a benefit under this Agreement shall have any right, title
or interest in any such assets. This Agreement shall constitute solely an
unsecured promise by the Company to pay supplemental retirement benefits to the
extent provided herein.

9. Inalienability of Benefits

      The right of any person to any benefit or payment under this Agreement
shall not be subject to voluntary or involuntary transfer, alienation or
assignment, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not be subject to
attachment, execution, garnishment, sequestration or other legal or equitable

                                       9
<PAGE>

process or be transferable by operation of law in the event of bankruptcy or
insolvency of the Executive or any Beneficiary. In the event a person who is
receiving or is entitled to receive benefits under the Agreement attempts to
assign, transfer or dispose of such right, or if an attempt is made to subject
said right to such process, such assignment, transfer or disposition shall be
null and void.

10. Forfeiture of Benefits

      The Executive shall forfeit his Supplemental Retirement Benefit in the
event of the Executive's conviction of a felony relating to the conduct of the
business of the Company or willful unauthorized disclosure of a trade secret of
the Company.

11. Payments to Minors and Incompetents

      If the Executive or Beneficiary entitled to receive any benefits hereunder
is a minor or is deemed by the Company or is adjudged to be legally incapable of
giving valid receipt and discharge for such benefits, payment of benefits will
be made to the duly appointed guardian or legal representative of such minor or
incompetent or to such other legally appointed person as the Company may
designate. Such payment shall, to the extent made, be deemed a complete
discharge of any liability for such payment under this Agreement.

12. Withholding

      The Company shall have the right to deduct from any payments due under
this Agreement any taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payments.

                                       10
<PAGE>

13. Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets

      In the event the Company shall, at any time, be merged or consolidated
with or into any corporation or corporations, or in the event that all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company shall be sold or otherwise
transferred to another corporation, the provisions of this Agreement, including
the provisions of this Section, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the successor of the Company resulting from such merger, consolidation or
sale of assets.

14. Governing Law

      Except to the extent pre-empted by federal law, the provisions of this
Agreement will be construed according to the laws of the State of Delaware
(without giving effect to the provisions thereof relating to conflicts of law).
