The accompanying notes are an integral part of the condensed consolidated financial statements. 5 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 (Unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all of the disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting principles or those normally made in Churchill Downs Incorporated's (the "Company") annual report on Form 10-K. The year end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the reader of this Form 10-Q may wish to refer to the Company's Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 1998 for further information. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the registrant's customary accounting practices and have not been audited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of this information have been made and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Because of the seasonal nature of the Company's business, revenues and operating results for any interim quarter are not indicative of the revenues and operating results for the year and are not necessarily comparable with results for the corresponding period of the previous year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect a disproportionate share of annual net earnings (loss) as the Company normally earns a substantial portion of its net earnings in the second quarter of each year during which the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks are run. The Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks are run on the first weekend in May. 2. Long-Term Debt On September 15, 1998, the Company obtained a $100 million line of credit through a syndicate of banks headed by its principal lender, which expires in September 2001. This credit facility replaced a $50 million line of credit obtained during the second quarter of 1998. The interest rate on borrowings was based upon LIBOR plus 50 to 112.5 additional basis points, which was determined by certain Company financial ratios. There was $18.0 million outstanding on the line of credit at March 31, 1999, $11.0 million outstanding at December 31, 1998 and no borrowings outstanding at March 31, 1998, under previous lines of credit. In connection with our acquisition strategy, the Company increased the line of credit during the second quarter of 1999 to $250 million (See Note 7). 3. Reclassification Certain prior period financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. 6 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 (continued) (Unaudited) 4. Acquisitions On January 13, 1999, the Company acquired a 60% interest in Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC ("CBT") for $3.1 million and made an additional equity contribution to CBT in the amount of $2.3 million. CBT's total assets and liabilities were $2.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, on the date of acquisition. The purchase price was allocated to the fair value of net assets acquired, with the excess of $3.2 million being amortized over periods of 5 and 15 years based on the nature of the intangibles acquired. CBT's financial position and results of operations have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. On April 21, 1998, the Company acquired from TVI Corp., ("TVI") all of the outstanding stock of Racing Corporation of America ("RCA") for a purchase price of $22.6 million, which includes transaction costs of $.6 million. RCA owns and operates Ellis Park Race Course in Henderson, Kentucky, and the Kentucky Horse Center, a training facility located in Lexington, Kentucky. As part of the transaction, TVI received 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $4.9 million with the remaining balance of $17.1 million paid from cash on hand and a draw on the Company's bank line of credit. The purchase price of $22.6 million was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their fair values on the acquisition date with the excess of $6.4 million being recorded as goodwill, which is being amortized over 40 years. The acquisition was accounted for by the Company under the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations of RCA subsequent to April 20, 1998, are included in the Company's consolidated results of operations. Following are the unaudited pro forma results of operations as if the April 21, 1998, acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1998 (in thousands, except per share and share amounts): Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 Net revenues $16,942 Net loss $(2,264) Basic and diluted net loss per share $(.30) Basic and diluted weighted average shares 7,516,934 This unaudited proforma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the transaction been consummated as of January 1, 1998, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results. 7 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 (continued) (Unaudited) 5. Earnings Per Share The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted per share computations: Three months ended March 31, 1999 1998 ---- ---- Loss (numerator) amounts used for basic and diluted per share computations: $(3,010,136) $(1,569,031) ------------ ------------ Basic and diluted weighted average shares (denominator)of common stock outstanding per share 7,525,041 7,316,934 Basic and diluted net loss per share $(.40) $(.21) Options to purchase 478,298 and 426,532 shares for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 are excluded from the computation of earnings (loss) per common share-assuming dilution since their effect is antidilutive because of the net loss for the period. 6. Segment Information The Company has adopted SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." The Company has determined that it currently operates in the following four segments: (1) Churchill Downs racetrack, the Louisville Sports Spectrum simulcast facility and Churchill Downs corporate expenses (2) Ellis Park racetrack and its on-site simulcast facility, (3) Hoosier Park racetrack and its on-site simulcast facility and the other three Indiana simulcast facilities and (4) Other operations. Most of the Company's revenues are generated from commissions on pari-mutuel wagering at the Company's racetracks and simulcast wagering facilities, as well as simulcast fees, admissions and concessions revenue and other sources. Other operations include Kentucky Horse Center and the Company's investments in various other business enterprises. The Company's equity interest in the net income of equity method investees is not significant. Eliminations include the elimination of management fees and other intersegment transactions. 8 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 (continued) (Unaudited) 6.

Subsequent Events On April 23, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. from KE Acquisition Corporation for a purchase price of $86 million cash plus a closing net working capital adjustment of approximately $2.4 million cash and $0.6 million in transaction costs. The purchase included Calder Race Course in Miami and the licenses held by Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. to conduct horse racing at Calder Race Course. Calder Race Course, one of four Thoroughbred tracks in Florida, offers live racing and simulcast-only days during two consecutive race meets, which run from late May through early January. The results of operations of Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. will be included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition during the second quarter of 1999. Also on April 23, 1999, the Company increased its line of credit under a new revolving loan facility through a syndicate of banks headed by its principal lender to meet working capital and other short-term requirements and to provide funding for acquisitions, including the pending acquisition of Hollywood Park Race Track. The interest rate on the borrowing is based upon LIBOR plus 100 to 250 additional basis points, which is determined by certain Company financial ratios. The line of credit is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The new facility offers a line of credit of $250 million and matures in 2004. On May 6, 1999, the Company signed a definitive agreement whereby the Company would purchase the Hollywood Park Race Track, the Hollywood Park Casino and approximately 240 acres located at the racetrack site in Inglewood, California. The racetrack offers live Thoroughbred racing and simulcast wagering. Terms of the agreement includes a purchase price of $140 million subject to certain adjustments and certain conditions to closing. If not so terminated, closing of the transaction is expected in the third quarter of 1999. 10 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The reader is cautioned that such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the presently estimated amounts. These risks and uncertainties include: our continued ability to effectively compete for the country's top horses and trainers necessary to field high-quality horse racing; our continued ability to grow our share of the interstate simulcast market; a substantial change in regulations affecting our gaming activities; a substantial change in allocation of live racing days; the impact of competition from alternative gaming (including lotteries and riverboat and cruise ship casinos) and other sports and entertainment options in those markets in which we operate; a decrease in riverboat admissions revenue from our Indiana operations; Year 2000 computer issues; and our success in pursuit of our strategic initiatives designed to attract new patrons and generate additional revenues. Overview We conduct pari-mutuel wagering on live Thoroughbred and Standardbred and Quarter Horse horse racing and simulcast audio and video signals of races. Additionally, we offer racing services through our other interests. We own and operate the Churchill Downs racetrack in Louisville, Kentucky which has conducted Thoroughbred racing continuously since 1875 and is internationally known as home of the Kentucky Derby. We also own and operate Ellis Park Race Course, a Thoroughbred racetrack, in Henderson, Kentucky ("Ellis Park"), and Kentucky Horse Center, a Thoroughbred training center, in Lexington, Kentucky. Additionally, we are the majority owner and operator of Hoosier Park in Anderson, Indiana, which conducts Thoroughbred, Quarter Horse and Standardbred horse racing. We conduct simulcast wagering on horse racing at our four simulcast wagering facilities in Louisville, Kentucky, and in Indianapolis, Merrillville and Fort Wayne, Indiana, as well as at our racetracks. We hold a majority interest in Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC, a simulcast graphic software and video services company for racetracks and simulcast-wagering facilities. Additionally, we have a 50% interest in Kentucky Off-Track Betting Inc., an alliance of Kentucky's racetracks that operates simulcast-wagering facilities in Maysville, Jamestown, Pineville and Corbin, Kentucky, and a minority interest in Kentucky Downs Race Course in Franklin, Kentucky; NASRIN Services, LLC, a telecommunications company specializing in the simulcasting needs of racetracks; and EquiSource, LLC a company that provides group purchasing services for the Thoroughbred industry. Because of the seasonal nature of our business, revenues and operating results for any interim quarter are not indicative of the revenues and operating results for the year and are not necessarily comparable with results for the corresponding period of the previous year. We normally earn a substantial portion of our net earnings in the second quarter of each year during which the Kentucky Derby and the Kentucky Oaks are run on the first weekend in May. Our primary sources of income are commissions and fees earned from pari-mutuel wagering 11 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) on live and simulcast horse races. Other sources of income include admissions and seating, riverboat admission tax subsidy, concession commissions (primarily for the sale of food and beverages), sponsorship revenues, licensing rights and broadcast fees. Churchill Downs racetrack and Ellis Park as well as Kentucky's other racetracks are subject to the licensing and regulation of the Kentucky Racing Commission ("KRC"). The KRC consists of 11 members appointed by the governor of Kentucky. Licenses to conduct live Thoroughbred race meetings and to participate in simulcasting are approved annually by the KRC based upon applications submitted by the racetracks in Kentucky. Although to some extent Churchill Downs racetrack and Ellis Park compete with other racetracks in Kentucky for the awarding of racing dates, the KRC is required by state law to consider and seek to preserve each racetrack's usual and customary live racing dates. Generally, there is no substantial change from year to year in the racing dates awarded to each racetrack. We received approval from the KRC to conduct live racing at Churchill Downs racetrack from April 24 through June 27, 1999 ("Spring Meet") and from October 31 through November 27, 1999 ("Fall Meet") for a total of 71 days, compared to 71 racing days in 1998. Ellis Park has been granted a total of 61 live racing days running from June 28 through September 6, 1999, compared to 61 days of racing during 1998. The total number of days on which Churchill Downs racetrack and Ellis Park conduct live racing fluctuates annually according to the calendar year. In Indiana, licenses to conduct live Standardbred and Thoroughbred race meetings, including Quarter Horse races, and to participate in simulcasting are approved annually by the Indiana Horse Racing Commission ("IHRC"), which consists of five members appointed by the governor of Indiana. Licenses are approved annually by the IHRC based upon applications submitted by Hoosier Park. Currently, Hoosier Park is the only facility in Indiana licensed to conduct live Standardbred, Quarter Horse or Thoroughbred racing and to participate in simulcasting. Quarter Horse races are conducted during some Thoroughbred race days. Hoosier Park has received a license to conduct live racing in 1999 for a total of 169 racing days, including 104 days of Standardbred racing and 65 days of Thoroughbred racing (which also includes Quarter Horse races). During 1998, Hoosier Park conducted racing for 95 days of Standardbred racing and 58 days of Thoroughbred racing. In Florida, licenses to conduct live Thoroughbred racing and to participate in simulcasting are approved by the State of Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc., which were acquired April 23, 1999 (see Note 7 of the condensed notes to consolidated financial statements) hold licenses to conduct live racing at Calder Race Course. Calder Race Course, Inc. has been approved from May 23, 1999 through November 2, 1999 and Tropical Park, Inc. has been approved from November 3, 1999 through January 2, 2000. Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. have been approved for a total of 168 days. We employ approximately 500 full-time employees Company-wide. Due to the seasonal nature of our live racing business, the number of seasonal and part-time persons employed will vary 12 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) throughout the year, with peak employment occurring Kentucky Derby week when we employ as many as 2,600 persons. At March 31, 1999, average full-time and seasonal employment per pay period was approximately 850 individuals. We generally do not directly compete with other racetracks or simulcast wagering facilities for patrons due to geographic separation of such facilities. However, we compete with other sports, entertainment and gaming options, including lotteries, riverboat and cruise ship casinos, and other pari-mutuel wagering facilities, for patrons for both live racing and simulcasting. We attempt to attract patrons by providing the highest quality racing products in attractive entertainment facilities with fairly priced, appealing concession services. The development of riverboat gaming facilities began in Indiana pursuant to authorizing legislation passed by the state of Indiana in 1993. Illinois had previously authorized riverboat gaming. There are currently five riverboat casinos operating on the Ohio River along Kentucky's border -- including two in the southeastern Indiana cities of Lawrenceburg and Rising Sun, one in southwestern Indiana in Evansville and one at Metropolis, Illinois. The fifth riverboat casino, licensed to RDI/Caesars, opened in November 1998 in Harrison County, Indiana, 10 miles from Louisville. Business at our simulcast wagering facility, the Louisville Sports Spectrum, decreased during the first quarter of 1999 as compared to the prior year. From January 1 through March 31, 1999, wagering and attendance at the facility declined by 13 percent and 3.2 percent, respectively, compared to the same period in 1998. It is impossible to accurately determine the extent of the riverboat's impact on the Sports Spectrum's business because other factors may have had an impact, such as inclement weather and the corresponding loss of simulcast programs due to cancellations at racetracks that send their simulcast signals to the Sports Spectrum. The Indiana Gaming Commission voted in September 1998 to grant a license to open a sixth Indiana riverboat along the Ohio River in Switzerland County, Indiana, approximately 70 miles from Louisville. The license holder, Hollywood Park, Inc., plans to build a riverboat casino, hotel and resort complex, which is projected to open in the third quarter of 2000. The full impact of riverboat casinos on Kentucky racing cannot be accurately determined until all riverboats are open and the markets are fully matured. Studies project that the Churchill Downs racetrack and the Sports Spectrum could experience a more significant impact on its wagering and attendance in the Louisville market, than is presently being experienced, when the RDI/Caesars riverboat is open to full capacity and has established itself in the market. These same studies projected similar declines in western and northern Kentucky, but recent experience at Ellis Park and Turfway Park indicates the impact may not be as severe as these studies projected. In addition to those riverboats operating along the Ohio River, five riverboat casinos have opened along the Indiana shore of Lake Michigan near our Sports Spectrum in Merrillville, Indiana. Our pari-mutuel wagering activities at the Merrillville facility have been adversely impacted by the opening of these Lake Michigan riverboats. 13 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Additionally, the Pokagon Band of the Potawatomi Indian Tribe has expressed an interest in establishing land-based casinos in northeastern Indiana and southwestern Michigan although Indiana Governor Frank O'Bannon has publicly expressed his opposition at this time to any further expansion of casino gaming in Indiana. We continue to anticipate that development of any such Indian casino will negatively impact pari-mutuel wagering activities at Hoosier Park's Indiana facilities. However, the potential impact is difficult to estimate at this time due, in part, to the uncertain geographic distances between Hoosier Park's operations and the potential casino sites. The integration of alternative gaming products at our racetrack facilities is one of our four core business strategies developed to position us to compete in this changing environment. Implementing these strategies, we have successfully grown our live racing product by strengthening our flagship operations, increasing our share of the interstate simulcast market, and geographically expanding our racing operations in Kentucky, Indiana and Florida. Alternative gaming in the form of video lottery terminals should enable us to more effectively compete with Indiana riverboat casinos and provide new revenue for purse money and capital investment. We continue to pursue legislation to allow video lottery terminals at our racetrack facilities in Kentucky. Currently, we are working with members of the Kentucky horse industry to establish a consensus for a plan to operate video lottery terminals exclusively at Kentucky's racetracks. The horse industry in Indiana presently receives $.65 per $3 admission to Indiana riverboats to compensate for the effect of riverboat competition. The horse industry is required to allocate 70% of such revenue directly for purse expenses, breed development and reimbursement of approved marketing costs. The balance, or 30%, is retained by Hoosier Park as the only horse racetrack currently operating in Indiana. Riverboat admissions revenue from our Indiana operations increased $0.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 compared to 1998, as a result of the expansion of existing and opening of additional riverboats. The net increase in riverboat admissions revenue, after required purse and marketing expense increases of approximately $0.6 million, is $0.2 million. Legislation that sought to cap Hoosier Park's share of the $.65 subsidy was introduced in the 1999 session of the Indiana General Assembly, however, no such legislation had passed at the time the 1999 session adjourned. A significant change in Hoosier Park's share of the subsidy would impact funding for operating expenditures, potentially reducing the number of race dates at Hoosier Park and, in all likelihood, re-emphasize the need for the integration of alternative gaming products at the Hoosier Park racetrack in order for it to effectively compete with riverboat casinos. We have partnered with ODS Technologies L.P. (ODS) in the development and operation of an in-home interactive wagering system in Jefferson County, Kentucky, since 1995. The second phase of our relationship with ODS is the launching of the Television Games Network (TVG), projected for the second half of 1999. 14 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Pari-mutuel wagering for our three live racing facilities and four separate simulcast wagering facilities during the quarter ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 is as follows: ($ in thousands, except for number of days) Churchill Downs Hoosier Park Ellis Park* racetrack Simulcast receiving 1999 handle $41,517 $33,972 $11,538 1999 no. of days 77 284 90 1998 handle $46,236 $33,536 $10,748 1998 no. of days 75 292 90 * Pari-mutuel wagering information for the Ellis Park is provided for quarter ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. However, since Ellis Park was acquired on April 21, 1998 no revenues are included in the Company's results of operations for the first quarter of 1998. Comparison of Profit and Loss for Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 to 1998 Net Revenues Net revenues during the three months ended March 31, 1999 increased $2.3 million (15%) from $15.4 million in 1998 to $17.7 million in 1999. Churchill Downs racetrack revenues decreased $0.8 million (14%) due primarily to decreases in the Louisville Sports Spectrum simulcast revenues. Hoosier Park revenues increased $0.9 million (9%) primarily due to a $0.8 million increase in the riverboat gross admissions subsidy of which a portion was required to be spent on purses and marketing expenses. Ellis Park contributed $1.2 million to first quarter 1999 net revenues as opposed to none in the prior year. Other operations, including the 1998 acquisition of Kentucky Horse Center, comprised the remaining $1.0 million of the increase. Operating Expenses Operating expenses increased $3.2 million (20%) from $16.0 million in 1998 to $19.2 million in 1999. Hoosier Park operating expenses increased $1.2 million (15%) due primarily to required increases in purses and marketing expenses related to the riverboat admissions subsidy. Ellis Park incurred 1999 operating expenses of $1.6 million versus none in the first quarter of 1998. Other operations, including Kentucky Horse Center, accounted for the remaining $0.4 million of the increase in operating expenses. 15 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Gross Loss Gross loss increased $0.9 million from $0.6 million loss in 1998 to $1.5 million loss in 1999. Ellis Park accounted for $0.5 million and other operations contributed $0.3 million of the increase in gross loss. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased by $1.1 million (53%) from $2.2 million in 1998 to $3.3 million in 1999. SG&A expenses at Churchill Downs increased $0.4 million (23%) due primarily to increased corporate staffing and compensation expenses reflecting the Company's strengthened corporate services to meet the needs of new business units. The acquisition of Ellis Park contributed $0.2 million and other operations, including Kentucky Horse Center, accounted for $0.4 million of the increase in SG&A expenses. Other Income and Expense Interest expense increased $0.3 million from $0.1 million in 1998 to $0.4 million in 1999 primarily as a result of borrowings to finance the acquisition of Ellis Park. Income Tax Provision Our income tax benefit increased by $1.0 million from $1.0 million in 1998 to $2.0 million in 1999 primarily as the result of a increase in pre-tax loss of $2.5 million. The effective income tax rate increased from 38.9% in 1998 to 40.3% in 1999 due primarily to non-deductible amortization expense related to the acquisitions of Ellis Park and Kentucky Horse Center in 1998 and Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC in January 1999. Significant Changes in the Balance Sheet March 31, 1999 to December 31, 1998 Accounts receivable balances decreased by $3.6 million in 1999. Churchill Downs decreased its live meet accounts receivable by $2.9 million through the collection of 1998 Fall meet receivables. Prepaid income taxes increased $2.4 million as a result of the estimated income tax benefit (receivable) associated with the quarterly net loss. Intangible assets increased $3.0 million as a result of the goodwill recorded for the acquisition of Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC during the first quarter of 1999. The net plant and equipment increase of $2.7 million during 1999 was primarily due to the acquisition of Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC and routine capital spending at our operating units offset by current year depreciation expense. 16 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Accounts payable increased $4.8 million at March 31, 1999 primarily due to increases in purses payable and other expenses related to simulcast wagering. Dividends payable decreased $3.7 million at March 31, 1999 due to the payment of dividends of $3.7 million (declared in 1998) in first quarter 1999. Deferred revenue increased $7.0 million at March 31, 1999, primarily due to a $6.5 million increase in corporate sponsor event ticket prices, season box and membership sales, admissions and future wagering related to the 1999 Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks race days. The long-term debt increase of $7.7 million was the result of additional borrowings on our bank line of credit during the first quarter of 1999, primarily to fund the acquisition of Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC. Significant Changes in the Balance Sheet March 31, 1999 to March 31, 1998 Intangible assets increased $9.5 million due to the addition of goodwill of $6.5 million recorded for the acquisition of Ellis Park and Kentucky Horse Center and $3.0 million for the acquisition and formation of Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC. Net plant and equipment increased $22.7 million primarily due to the acquisition of Ellis Park and Kentucky Horse Center, Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC and routine capital spending at our operating units offset by depreciation expense. The long-term debt increase of $18.6 million was due to line of credit borrowings used to fund the acquisitions of Ellis Park and Kentucky Horse Center during the second quarter of 1998 and Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC during the first quarter of 1999. Deferred income taxes increased by $4.6 million as a result of the recognition of deferred taxes with the Ellis Park and Kentucky Horse Center acquisition during the second quarter of 1998. Liquidity and Capital Resources The working capital deficiency was $8.4 and $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, which results from the seasonality of our businesses. Cash flows provided by operations were $7.8 and $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Management believes cash flows from operations and available borrowings during 1999 will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements for the year, including capital improvements and the acquisitions of Calder Race Course and Hollywood Park Race Track and Casino. Cash flows used in investing activities were $5.5 and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The $5.5 million in 1999 is comprised of the $2.9 million 17 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) acquisition of a majority interest in Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC during the first quarter and $2.6 million in capital spending at our facilities. The capital additions for all locations, including construction of a $2.4 million stable area dormitory at the Churchill Downs racetrack facility, are not expected to exceed $10 million for 1999. Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities were $3.9 and $(3.7) million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. We borrowed $8 million and repaid $1 million on our line of credit during 1999 primarily to finance the purchase of Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC. In addition, we received a $1.5 million contribution by a minority interest in our Charlson Broadcast Technologies, LLC subsidiary. In September 1998, we obtained a $100 million line of credit, of which $82 million was available at March 31, 1999 (See "Subsequent Events" section discussed later). In April 1999, our total line of credit was increased to $250 million under a new revolving loan facility, secured by substantially all of our assets, to meet working capital and other short-term requirements and to provide funding for acquisitions, including the pending purchase of Hollywood Park, which if completed, is scheduled to close in the third quarter of 1999. The new revolving loan facility matures in 2004. Impact of the Year 2000 Issue The "Year 2000 Issue" is the result of computer programs that were written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year in date-dependent systems. If our computer programs with date-sensitive functions are not Year 2000 compliant, they may be unable to distinguish the year 2000 from the year 1900. This could result in system failure or miscalculations leading to a disruption of business operations. Certain of our mission critical operations are dependent upon computer systems and applications. These systems are either directly owned and controlled by us or are provided under contract by third party technology service providers. To address the Year 2000 issue, we have categorized the Year 2000 Issue into four principal areas. Systems Owned By the Company The first area is related to systems that we own. These systems include application software and dedicated hardware that run our core operations. In addition, there are numerous applications that provide administrative support and management reporting functions. Some of these applications have been developed internally and others have been purchased. To address Year 2000 compliance across this broad category of systems, we have broken each system down into its most elemental pieces in order to study the hardware including any embedded chip technology/firmware, the operating systems and finally, the applications themselves. 18 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Hardware including any embedded chip technology/firmware that was not Year 2000 compliant has been identified and replaced as part of the routine turnover of technology capital. Hardware remaining to be replaced is scheduled for upgrading during the first half of 1999. By June 1999, all hardware and embedded chip technology/firmware that we own is expected to be Year 2000 compliant. All operating systems supporting specific applications have been checked by advancing the dates to determine if operating system-level functionality is impacted by the date change. As new operating system upgrades are made available and installed, periodic testing will continue to assure operating system-level functionality is maintained. In addition, we have contacted the developers of the operating systems we use and have received assurances as to their compatibility with the Year 2000 transition. Application software compliance with the Year 2000 has been certified through a combination of technical consultation with the software developers and testing. Applications developed with internal resources have been written with the Year 2000 compliance in mind using development tools that are Year 2000 compliant. We have received technical reports from third parties on Year 2000 compliance for financial reporting, payroll, operations control and reporting and internal communications applications. We require Year 2000 compliance on any software upgrades. Based on the schedule outlined above, we expect our owned systems to be Year 2000 compliant prior to the year 2000. The system will be tested by advancing dates to include a majority of the Year 2000 critical dates by the fourth quarter of 1999. However, even though our planned modifications to internally owned hardware and software should adequately address Year 2000 issues, there can be no assurance that unforeseen difficulties will not arise. Technology Services Provided to the Company Under Contract By Third Parties The second area is services provided to us by third parties. Many of these services are mission critical and could materially impact us should the systems upon which the services are dependent be unable to function. The totalisator services provided by United Tote Company and AmTote International, Inc. are the most critical to our operations. Totalisator services include the calculation of amounts wagered and owed to winning ticket holders. United Tote developed a plan to bring all systems provided to us into Year 2000 compliance during 1998. United Tote and the Company initiated this plan during the second quarter of 1998 by undertaking a comprehensive system hardware and software upgrade that is Year 2000 compliant. The systems were successfully installed in three phases with the last phase having been completed in October 1998. All on-track, intertrack wagering and hub operations are Year 2000 compliant. We will continue to work closely with United Tote to assure that future releases and upgrades are Year 2000 compliant by including this provision as a condition of 19 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) contracting for future services. We are in the process of determining if AmTote International, Inc. is Year 2000 compliant and expect to complete this evaluation during the second quarter of 1999. The video services provided by an outside vendor are also important to our operations. Video services include the capture, production and distribution of the television signal for distribution to customers located on our premises and to customers located at remote outlets throughout the nation. We are working closely with the vendor to ensure the software applications that provide the graphical enhancements and other distinguishing features to the televised signal for Churchill Downs racetrack and Hoosier Park are Year 2000 compliant. The existing software for the graphical enhancements to the television signal is not Year 2000 compliant. We have contacted the developer of the software package directly and have received assurances that an upgrade to the software will be Year 2000 compliant. We purchase certain data and statistical information from Equibase for resale to the public. This information is an essential element of our product and is included in printed material made available to our customers to assist in their wagering decisions. Equibase has implemented a Year 2000 remediation plan, which is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 1999. A variety of other smaller and less critical technology service providers are involved with our product. We have received assurance letters from a majority of these suppliers and will continue to work to receive assurances from those remaining. Because of the nature of our business and its dependence upon key technology services provided by third parties, we require that all new software and technology services are Year 2000 compliant. This requirement extends to include patches, upgrades and fixes to existing technology services. In the event that any of our third party service providers do not successfully and timely achieve Year 2000 compliance, and we are unable to replace them with alternate service providers, it could result in a delay in providing our core live racing and simulcasting products to our customers and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Industry-wide Issues Because a significant portion of our revenues are derived from customers at other racing organizations that are confronted with the same technological issues, including totalisator, video and statistical information services, we have been actively participating in an industry-wide assessment and remedial efforts to address the Year 2000 issue. Feedback Control Systems A variety of the newer control and regulating systems are date sensitive. Environmental control systems, elevator/escalator systems, fire control and security systems utilize date-sensitive 20 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) software/embedded chip technology for correct operation. We have systems that perform each of these functions, and are identifying if any of these systems employ technology that may not be Year 2000 compliant. We will work closely with manufacturers of these products to develop a remedial plan to assure year 2000 compliance if problems are identified. Cost and Contingency Planning To date, we have incurred less than $75,000 in costs to remediate Year 2000 compliance issues. Our management believes that any future costs to remediate Year 2000 compliance issues will not be material to our financial position or results of operations. We are currently evaluating our most reasonably likely worst-case Year 2000 scenario and are also developing contingency plans as part of our efforts to identify and correct Year 2000 issues affecting our owned systems as well as issues involving third party service providers. We intend to complete both its evaluation of a worst-case Year 2000 scenario and contingency planning by June 30, 1999. Due to the recent acquisition of Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. we will continue to assess the status of our Year 2000 compliance for those entities in regards to the factors mentioned above,and we expect to complete this evaluation in the second quarter of 1999. Subsequent Events On April 23, 1999, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. from KE Acquisition Corporation for a purchase price of $86 million cash plus a closing net working capital adjustment of approximately $2.4 million cash and $0.6 million in transaction costs. The purchase included Calder Race Course in Miami and the licenses held by Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. to conduct horse racing at Calder Race Course. Calder Race Course , one of four Thoroughbred tracks in Florida, offers live racing and simulcast-only days during two consecutive race meets, which run from late May through early January. The results of operations of Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. will be included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Management believes the acquisition of Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. will increase earnings during 1999. Also on April 23, 1999, we increased our line of credit under a new revolving loan facility through a syndicate of banks headed by our principal lender to meet working capital and other short-term requirements and to provide funding for acquisitions, including the pending acquisition of Hollywood Park Race Track. The interest rate on the borrowing is based upon LIBOR plus 100 to 250 additional basis points, which is determined by certain Company financial ratios. The line of credit is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The new facility offers a line of credit of $250 million and matures in 2004. On May 6, 1999, we signed a definitive agreement whereby we would purchase the Hollywood Park Race Track, the Hollywood Park Casino and approximately 240 acres located at the racetrack site in 21 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED ITEM2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Inglewood, California. The racetrack offers live Thoroughbred racing and simulcast wagering. Terms of the agreement includes a purchase price of $140 million subject to certain adjustments and certain conditions to closing. If not so terminated, closing of the transaction is expected in the third quarter of 1999. 22 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk Our market risk exposures set forth in our December 31, 1998 Form 10-K have not changed significantly through the first quarter of 1999. However, as a result of our Calder Race Course, Inc. and Tropical Park, Inc. acquisition, borrowing under our variable rate debt is expected to increase significantly during the second quarter of 1999.

                      1.2.9   From, To and Through.

                      relative to the determination of any period of time, 
"from" means "from and including," "to" means "to but excluding," and "through"
means "through and including"; and

                      1.2.10  Shall; Will.

               1.3     Accounting Principles.

               Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,  all computations
and  determinations  as to  accounting  or financial  matters and all  financial
statements to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be made and prepared
in  accordance  with  GAAP   (including   principles  of   consolidation   where
appropriate),  and all  accounting  or  financial  terms shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms by GAAP;  provided,  however,  that all accounting  terms
used in Section 7.2  [Negative  Covenants]  (and all  defined  terms used in the
definition  of any  accounting  term used in Section  7.2 shall have the meaning
given to such  terms  (and  defined  terms)  under GAAP as in effect on the date
hereof  applied on a basis  consistent  with those used in preparing  the Annual
Statements  referred to in Section 5.1.9((i))  [Historical  Statements].  In the
event of any change  after the date  hereof in GAAP,  and if such  change  would
result in the inability to determine compliance with the financial covenants set
forth in Section  7.2 based upon the  Borrower's  regularly  prepared  financial
statements by reason of the preceding sentence, then the parties hereto agree to
endeavor, in good faith, to agree upon an amendment to this Agreement that would
adjust such financial  covenants in a manner that would not affect the substance
thereof,  but would allow  compliance  therewith to be  determined in accordance
with the Borrower's financial statements at that time.

                 2. REVOLVING CREDIT AND SWING LOAN FACILITIES

               2.1     Commitments.

               Subject to the terms and  conditions  hereof and relying upon the
representations  and warranties  herein set forth, each Bank severally agrees to
make Revolving  Credit Loans to the Borrower at any time or from time to time on
or after the date  hereof to the  Expiration  Date  provided  that after  giving
effect to such Loan:

               (i) the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Loans from such Bank
shall not exceed

                                       62

                      (A)....50% of such Bank's Revolving Credit Commitment less
such Bank's Ratable Share of the Letters of Credit Outstanding prior to the PMW
Lien Consent Date, and

                      (B)....such Bank's Revolving Credit Commitment minus such 
Bank's Ratable Share of the Letters of Credit Outstanding on and after the PMW
Lien Consent Date, and



               (ii) the Revolving  Facility Usage shall not exceed the Borrowing
Limitation

                      .

Within  such limits of time and amount and  subject to the other  provisions  of
this  Agreement,  the Borrower may borrow,  repay and reborrow  pursuant to this
Section 2.1.1.

                      2.1.2   Swing Loans.

               Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the
representations  and  warranties  herein set forth,  and in order to  facilitate
loans and repayments  between  Settlement  Dates,  PNC Bank agrees to make swing
loans (the "Swing Loans") to the Borrower at any time or from time to time after
the date hereof to, but not  including,  the  Expiration  Date,  in an aggregate
principal  amount  up to but not in  excess  of  $10,000,000  (the  "Swing  Loan
Commitment"),  provided  that (i) the aggregate  principal  amount of PNC Bank's
Swing  Loans  and the  Revolving  Credit  Loans of all the Banks at any one time
outstanding shall not exceed the Borrowing Limitation of all the Banks, and (ii)
the Revolving Facility Usage shall not exceed the Borrowing  Limitation.  Within
such  limits of time and amount  and  subject  to the other  provisions  of this
Agreement,  the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow pursuant to this Section

Revolving  Credit  Loans  pursuant  to  Section  2.1.1  [Revolving  Credit  Loan
Requests] in  accordance  with its Ratable  Share.  The aggregate of each Bank's
Revolving Credit Loans  outstanding  hereunder to the Borrower at any time shall
never exceed the amount  specified in clause (i) of Section 2.1. The obligations
of each Bank  hereunder  are  several.  The  failure of any Bank to perform  its
obligations  hereunder  shall not affect the  Obligations of the Borrower to any
other  party nor shall any other party be liable for the failure of such Bank to
perform its  obligations  hereunder.  The Banks shall have no obligation to make
Revolving Credit Loans hereunder on or after the Expiration Date.

               2.3     Commitment Fees.

               Accruing  from the date hereof  until the  Expiration  Date,  the
Borrower  agrees  to  pay to  the  Agent  for  the  account  of  each  Bank,  as
consideration  for  such  Bank's  Revolving  Credit  Commitment   hereunder,   a

                                       63

Commitment  Fee Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the
case may be, and actual days  elapsed) on the average daily  difference  between
the amount of (i) such Bank's  Revolving  Credit  Commitment (it is acknowledged
that such Revolving Credit  Commitment is not reduced during the period prior to
the PMW Lien  Consent  Date for purposes of  computing  the  Commitment  Fees by
reason of the  limitations  on  borrowing  during such period  described  in the
definition of "Borrowing  Limitation") as the same may be constituted  from time
to time and the (ii) the sum of such Bank's Revolving Credit Loans (for purposes
of this  computation,  PNC Bank's  Swing  Loans  shall be deemed to be  borrowed
amounts  under its Revolving  Credit  Commitment)  outstanding  plus its Ratable
Share of Letters of Credit Outstanding.  All Commitment Fees shall be payable in
arrears on the first Business Day of each April, July, October and January after
the date hereof and on the Expiration Date or upon acceleration of the Notes.

authority of any  individual  making such a  telephonic  request  without the 
necessity  of receipt of such  written confirmation.  Each Loan Request shall be
irrevocable  and shall specify (i) the  proposed   Borrowing   Date;  (ii) the

Pittsburgh  time, on the applicable  Borrowing  Date,  provided that if any Bank
fails to remit such funds to the Agent in a timely  manner,  the Agent may elect
in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving  Credit Loans of
such  Bank on such  Borrowing  Date,  and  such  Bank  shall be  subject  to the
repayment obligation in Section 9.16 [Availability of Funds].  Disbursements of,

               2.6     Revolving Credit Notes and Swing Loan Note.

                      2.6.1   Revolving Credit Notes.

               The  Obligation  of the  Borrower to repay the  aggregate  unpaid

                             (vii) the Borrower shall make any  prepayments

                      2.8.1   Issuance of Letters of Credit.

                      Borrower may request the issuance of a letter of credit 
(each a "Letter of Credit") on behalf of itself or another Loan Party by
delivering to the Agent a completed  application and agreement for letters of

period as may be agreed to by the Agent,  in advance of the proposed  date of

a  Commercial  Letter of Credit.  Subject  to the terms and  conditions  hereof 
and in  reliance  on the agreements of the other Banks set forth in this Section
2.7, the Agent will issue a Letter of Credit provided that each Letter of Credit
shall (A) have a maximum maturity of twelve (12) months from the date of  
issuance,  and (B) in no event expire later than ten (10) Business Days prior to
the Expiration  Date and providing that in no event shall (i) the Letters of 
Credit  Outstanding  exceed, at any one time, $10,000,000 or (ii) the Revolving 
Facility Usage exceed, at any one time, the Borrowing Limitation.

                      2.8.2   Letter of Credit Fees.

                      The Borrower shall pay (i) to the Agent for the ratable  
account of the Banks a fee (the "Letter of Credit Fee") at a rate per annum 
equal to Applicable Margin  governing Loans under the Euro-Rate Option (computed
on the basis of a year of 360 days and  actual  days  elapsed),  and (ii) to the
Agent for its own account a fronting fee equal to 1/8 % per annum (computed on
the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed),  which fees shall be 
computed on the daily average Letters of Credit Outstanding and shall be payable
quarterly in arrears

                                       67


commencing with the first Business Day of each October,  January, April and July
following  issuance of each  Letter of Credit and on the  Expiration  Date.  The
Borrower  shall also pay to the Agent for the Agent's  sole  account the Agent's
then in effect customary fees and  administrative  expenses payable with respect
to the Letters of Credit as the Agent may generally charge or incur from time to
time in  connection  with the  issuance,  maintenance,  modification  (if  any),
assignment or transfer (if any),  negotiation,  and administration of Letters of
Credit.

                      2.8.3   Disbursements, Reimbursement.

                             2.8.3.1  Immediately upon the Issuance of each 
Letter of Credit,  each Bank shall be deemed to, and hereby  irrevocably  and 
unconditionally  agrees to, purchase from the  Agent a  participation  in such  
Letter  of Credit and each  drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Bank's
Ratable Share of the maximum amount available  to be drawn  under  such  Letter 
of  Credit  and the  amount of such drawing, respectively.

                             2.8.3.2 In the event of any  request  for a drawing
under a Letter of Credit by the  beneficiary  or  transferee  thereof, the Agent
will  promptly  notify the Borrower.  Provided that it shall have received such
notice,  the Borrower shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the Agent 
shall sometimes be referred to as a "Reimbursement  Obligation") the Agent prior
to 12:00 noon, Pittsburgh time on each date that an  amount is paid by the Agent
under any  Letter of Credit (each such date, an "Drawing  Date") in an amount
equal to the amount so paid by the Agent.  In the event the Borrower  fails to 
reimburse the Agent for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of 
Credit by 12:00 noon, Pittsburgh time, on the Drawing Date, the Agent will 
promptly  notify each Bank thereof,  and the Borrower shall be deemed to have 
requested that Revolving  Credit Loans be made by the Banks under the Base Rate
Option to be  disbursed  on the  Drawing  Date under such Letter of Credit, 
subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the  Revolving  Credit  
Commitment  and subject to the  conditions  set forth in Section  6.2 [Each 
Additional  Loan]  other than any notice  requirements.  Any notice  given by
the  Agent  pursuant  to this  Section  2.8.3.2  may be oral if immediately  
confirmed in writing;  provided  that the lack of such an immediate confirmation
shall not affect  the  conclusiveness  or  binding  effect of such notice.

                             2.8.3.3  Each Bank shall  upon any notice  pursuant
to  Section  2.8.3.2  make available  to the Agent an amount in  immediately 
available  funds equal to its Ratable Share of the amount of the drawing, 
whereupon the  participating  Banks shall  (subject  to  Section  2.8.3.4)  each
be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan under the Base Rate Option to the
Borrower in that  amount.  If any Bank so  notified  fails to make  available  
to the Agent for the account of the Agent the amount of such  Bank's  Ratable  
Share of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m.,  Pittsburgh  time on the
Drawing Date,  then interest shall accrue on such Bank's  obligation to make
such payment,  from the Drawing Date to the date on which  such Bank  makes such
payment  (i) at a rate per annum  equal to the Federal Funds  Effective  Rate
during the first three days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per
annum  equal to the rate  applicable  to Loans under the Base Rate Option on and
after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The Agent will  promptly  give 
notice of the  occurrence  of the Drawing  Date,  but failure  of the  Agent  to
give  any  such  notice  on the  Drawing  Date or in sufficient time to enable

                                       68


any Bank to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Bank from
its obligation under this Section 2.8.3.3.

                             2.8.3.4 With respect to any  unreimbursed  drawing
that is not  converted  into Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option 
to the Borrower in whole or in part as contemplated by Section  2.8.3.2, because
of the Borrower's  failure to satisfy the  conditions  set forth in Section 6.2
[Each  Additional  Loan] other than any notice  requirements  or for any other 
reason,  the Borrower  shall be deemed to have  incurred  from the Agent a  
borrowing  (each a "Letter of Credit Borrowing") in the amount of such drawing. 
Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together 
with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum  applicable to the 
Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option.  Each Bank's payment to the
Agent  pursuant to Section  2.8.3.3 shall be deemed to be a payment in respect 
of its  participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing  and shall  constitute
a  "Participation  Advance"  from such Bank in satisfaction of its participation
obligation under this Section 2.8.3.

                      2.8.4   Repayment of Participation Advances.

                             2.8.4.1 Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Agent
for its account of immediately available  funds from the Borrower (i) in   
reimbursement  of any payment made by the Agent under the Letter of Credit  with
respect to which any Bank has made a Participation  Advance to the Agent,  or 
(ii) in payment of  interest  on such a payment  made by the Agent under such a
Letter of Credit,  the Agent will pay to each Bank, in the same funds as those 
received by the Agent,  the amount of such Bank's Ratable Share of such funds, 
except the Agent shall retain the amount of the  Ratable  Share of such funds of
any Bank that did not make a  Participation Advance in respect of such payment
by Agent.

                             2.8.4.2 If the Agent is required at any time to
return to any Loan Party,  or to a trustee,  receiver,  liquidator,  custodian,
or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding,  any  portion  of the  payments 
made by any Loan Party to the Agent pursuant to Section 2.8.4.1 in 
reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee
thereon,  each Bank shall,  on demand of the Agent, forthwith  return to the 
Agent the amount of its Ratable Share of any amounts so returned by the Agent 
plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts
are  returned  by such Bank to the Agent,  at a rate per annum equal to the
Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect from time to time.

                      2.8.5   Documentation.

               Each Loan Party agrees to be bound by the terms of the Agent's
application  and  agreement  for  letters  of  credit  and the  Agent's  written
regulations and customary  practices relating to letters of credit,  though such
interpretation  may be  different  from such Loan Party's own. In the event of a
conflict  between  such  application  or  agreement  and  this  Agreement,  this
Agreement shall govern.  It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of
gross  negligence or willful  misconduct,  the Agent shall not be liable for any
error,  negligence  and/or  mistakes,  whether of  omission  or  commission,  in

                                       69


following  any Loan Party's  instructions  or those  contained in the Letters of
Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

               In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any
Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Agent shall be responsible only
to determine that the documents and certificates  required to be delivered under
such  Letter of Credit  have been  delivered  and that they comply on their face
with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

                      2.8.7   Nature of Participation and Reimbursement
                             Obligations.

               Each Bank's obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make
the Revolving  Credit Loans or  Participation  Advances,  as contemplated by
Section 2.8.3, as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the 
Obligations of the Borrower to reimburse the Agent upon a draw under a Letter of
Credit,  shall be absolute,  unconditional and irrevocable,  and shall be
performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.8 under all
circumstances, including the following circumstances:

                             (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment,  defense

other Person for any reason whatsoever;

                             (ii) the failure of any Loan Party or any other

[Revolving Credit Loan Requests], 2.4 [Making  Revolving  Credit Loans] or 6.2 
[Each  Additional Loan] or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement for the
making of a Revolving  Credit Loan, it being acknowledged that such conditions
are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the 
obligation of the Banks to make Participation  Advances under Section 2.8.3;

                            (iii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any
Letter of Credit;

                             (iv) the existence of any claim, set-off,  defense 
or other right which any Loan Party or any Bank may have at any time against a 
beneficiary  or any  transferee of any  Letter of Credit (or any  Persons  for
whom any such  transferee  may be acting),  the Agent or any Bank or any other 
Person or,  whether in  connection with this  Agreement,  the  transactions 
contemplated  herein or any  unrelated transaction  (including  any  underlying
transaction  between any Loan Party or Subsidiaries  of a Loan Party and the
beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

                                       70


                             (v) any draft, demand,  certificate or other
document presented under any Letter of Credit  proving to be forged, fraudulent,
invalid  or  insufficient  in any respect or any statement  therein being untrue
or inaccurate in any respect even if the Agent has been notified thereof;

                             (vi) payment by the Agent under any Letter of 
Credit against  presentation  of a demand,  draft or  certificate  or other 
document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

                             (vii)  any  adverse  change in the  business, 
operations,  properties,  assets, condition   (financial   or  otherwise)  or
prospects  of  any  Loan  Party  or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party;

                             (viii) any breach of this  Agreement  or any other 
Loan  Document  by any party thereto;

                            (ix) the occurrence or continuance of an Insolvency
Proceeding  with respect to any Loan Party;

                             (x) the fact that an Event of Default or a
Potential Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

                             (xi) the fact that the  Expiration  Date shall have
passed or this  Agreement or the Commitments hereunder shall have been

                             (xii) any other circumstance or happening
whatsoever,  whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

                      2.8.8   Indemnity.

                      In addition to amounts payable as provided in Section 9.5
[Reimbursement  of Agent by  Borrower,  Etc.],  the  Borrower  hereby  agrees to
protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Agent from and against any and all
claims,  demands,  liabilities,  damages,  losses,  costs,  charges and expenses
(including  reasonable  fees,  expenses and  disbursements of counsel) which the
Agent may incur or be subject to as a  consequence,  direct or indirect,  of the
issuance  of any  Letter  of  Credit,  other  than as a result  of (A) the gross
negligence or willful  misconduct of the Agent as determined by a final judgment
of a court of competent  jurisdiction or (B) the wrongful  dishonor by the Agent
of a proper  demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit,  except if such
dishonor resulted from any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any
present or future de jure or de facto government or governmental  authority (all
such acts or omissions herein called "Governmental Acts").

                                       71


                      2.8.9   Liability for Acts and Omissions.

            As between any Loan Party and the Agent, such Loan Party assumes all
risks of the acts and  omissions  of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the
respective  beneficiaries  of such Letters of Credit.  In furtherance and not in
limitation of the  foregoing,  the Agent shall not be  responsible  for: (i) the
form,  validity,  sufficiency,  accuracy,  genuineness  or legal  effect  of any
document  submitted  by any  party in  connection  with the  application  for an
issuance of any such Letter of Credit,  even if it should in fact prove to be in
any or all respects  invalid,  insufficient,  inaccurate,  fraudulent  or forged
(even if the Agent  shall have been  notified  thereof);  (ii) the  validity  or
sufficiency  of any  instrument  transferring  or  assigning  or  purporting  to
transfer  or  assign  any such  Letter  of  Credit  or the  rights  or  benefits
thereunder  or  proceeds  thereof,  in whole or in part,  which  may prove to be
invalid or ineffective  for any reason;  (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of
any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may
be  transferred,  to comply fully with any conditions  required in order to draw
upon such  Letter of Credit or any other  claim of any Loan  Party  against  any
beneficiary  of such Letter of Credit,  or any such  transferee,  or any dispute
between or among any Loan Party and any  beneficiary  of any Letter of Credit or
any  such  transferee;  (iv)  errors,  omissions,  interruptions  or  delays  in
transmission or delivery of any messages,  by mail, cable,  telegraph,  telex or
otherwise,  whether or not they be in cipher;  (v) errors in  interpretation  of
technical terms;  (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any
document  required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or
of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such
Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit;  or
(viii) any  consequences  arising  from causes  beyond the control of the Agent,
including any  Governmental  Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair,
or prevent  the  vesting  of,  any of the  Agent's  rights or powers  hereunder.
Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve the Agent from liability for the
Agent's  gross  negligence or willful  misconduct in connection  with actions or
omissions described in such clauses(i) through (viii) of such sentence.

              In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific
provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in
connection  with  the  Letters  of  Credit  issued  by it or any  documents  and
certificates delivered thereunder,  if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not
put the Agent under any resulting liability to the Borrower or any Bank.

               2.9     Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans.

               PNC  shall  five (5)  Business  Days  after a Swing  Loan is made
demand  repayment of such Swing Loan,  and may, at its option at any other time,
demand  repayment  of such the Swing  Loans,  and upon any such demand each Bank
shall make a  Revolving  Credit Loan in an amount  equal to such Bank's  Ratable
Share of the aggregate principal amount of such outstanding Swing Loan, plus, if
PNC so  requests,  accrued  interest  thereon,  provided  that no Bank  shall be
obligated in any event to make Revolving Credit Loans in excess of its Revolving
Credit  Commitment.  Revolving  Credit  Loans  made  pursuant  to the  preceding
sentence shall bear interest at the Base Rate Option and shall be deemed to have
been properly  requested in accordance  with Section 2.4.1 without regard to any

                                       72


of the requirements of that provision or other provisions of the Agreement.  PNC
shall provide  notice to the Banks (which may be telephonic or written notice by
letter,  facsimile  or telex) that such  Revolving  Credit  Loans are to be made
under this Section 2.9 and of the  apportionment  among the Banks, and the Banks
shall be unconditionally  obligated to fund such Revolving Credit Loans (whether
or not the conditions specified in Section 6 are then satisfied) by the time PNC
so requests, which may be on the Business Day that the Banks receive such notice
from PNC.

                                3. INTEREST RATES

               3.1     Revolving Credit Interest Rate Options.

           Swing Loans shall bear interest at the interest rate set forth in the
Agent's  Letter.  The Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the  outstanding
unpaid principal amount of the Loans as selected by it from the Base Rate Option
or Euro-Rate Option set forth below applicable to the Loans, it being understood
that,  subject to the  provisions  of this  Agreement,  the  Borrower may select
different  Interest  Rate  Options  and  different  Interest  Periods  to  apply
simultaneously  to the Loans  comprising  different  Borrowing  Tranches and may
convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any
portion of the Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche, provided that there shall
not be at any one time outstanding more than seven (7) Borrowing Tranches in the
aggregate  among all of the Loans. If at any time the designated rate applicable
to any Loan made by any Bank exceeds such Bank's  highest  lawful rate, the rate
of interest on such Bank's Loan shall be limited to such Bank's  highest  lawful
rate.  The Borrower  shall have the right to select from the following  Interest
Rate Options applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans (subject to the provisions
in Section 2.9 regarding Swing Loans):

                             (i) Base Rate Option: A fluctuating  rate per annum
(computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and 
actual days  elapsed)  equal to the  Base  Rate  plus  the  Applicable  Margin, 
such  interest  rate to  change automatically  from  time to time  effective  as
of the  effective  date of each change in the Base Rate; or

                             (ii) Euro-Rate  Option: A rate per annum (computed 
on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the
Euro-Rate plus the Applicable Margin. 

                      3.1.2   Rate Quotations.

           The Borrower may call the Agent on or before the date on which a Loan
Request is to be delivered to receive an indication of the rates then in effect,
but it is acknowledged that such projection shall not be binding on the Agent or
the Banks nor affect the rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect
when the election is made.


                                       73


               3.2     Interest Periods.

               At any time when the Borrower shall select, convert to or renew a
Euro-Rate Option, the Borrower shall notify the Agent thereof at least three (3)
Business Days prior to the effective date of such Euro-Rate Option by delivering
a Loan Request.  The notice shall  specify an Interest  Period during which such
Interest Rate Option shall apply.  Notwithstanding the preceding  sentence,  the
following  provisions shall apply to any selection of, renewal of, or conversion
to a Euro-Rate Option:

                      3.2.1   Amount of Borrowing Tranche.

                 each Borrowing Tranche of Euro-Rate Loans shall be in integral
multiples of $100,000 and not less than $500,000;

                      3.2.2   Renewals.

               in the case of the renewal of a Euro-Rate Option at the end of an
Interest Period,  the first day of the new Interest Period shall be the last day
of the preceding Interest Period, without duplication in payment of interest for
such day.

               3.3     Interest After Default.

               To the extent  permitted by Law, from and after the occurrence of
an Event of Default  and until  such time such Event of Default  shall have been
cured or waived:

                      3.3.1   Letter of Credit Fees, Interest Rate.

                the Letter of Credit Fees and the rate of interest for each Loan
otherwise  applicable  pursuant  to Section  2.8.2  [Letter  of Credit  Fees] or
Section 3.1 [Interest  Rate Options],  respectively,  shall be increased by 2.0%
per annum; and

                      3.3.2   Other Obligations.

                 each other Obligation hereunder if not paid when due shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest applicable
under the Base Rate  Option plus an  additional  2% per annum from the time such
Obligation becomes due and payable and until it is paid in full.

                      3.3.3   Acknowledgment.

             The Borrower acknowledges that the increase in rates referred to in
this Section 3.3 reflects, among other things, the fact that such Loans or other
amounts have become a substantially  greater risk given their default status and
that the Banks are entitled to additional  compensation  for such risk;  and all
such interest shall be payable by Borrower upon demand by Agent.

                                       74


               3.4     Euro-Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; 
                       Deposits Not Available.

                      3.4.1   Unascertainable.

          If on any date on which a Euro-Rate would otherwise be determined, the
Agent shall have determined that:

                             (i)     adequate and reasonable means do not exist 
for ascertaining such Euro-Rate, or (ii) a contingency  has occurred  which 
materially  and  adversely  affects the London interbank  eurodollar  market 
relating to the Euro-Rate, the Agent shall have the rights specified in Section.
3.4.3.

                      3.4.2  Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not
                             Available.

                      If at any time any Bank shall have determined that:

                             (i) the making,  maintenance or funding of any Loan
to which a Euro-Rate  Option applies has been made  impracticable or unlawful by
compliance by such Bank in good  faith with any Law or any  interpretation  or 
application  thereof by any Official  Body or with  any  request  or  directive
of any such  Official  Body (whether or not having the force of Law), or

                             (ii) such  Euro-Rate  Option will not  adequately 
and fairly reflect the cost to such Bank of the establishment or maintenance of
any such Loan, or

                             (iii) after making all reasonable efforts, deposits
of the relevant  amount in Dollars for the relevant  Interest Period for a Loan 
to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, respectively, are not available to such 
Bank with respect to such Loan, or to banks generally, in the interbank 
eurodollar market,

then the Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 3.4.3.

                      3.4.3   Agent's and Bank's Rights.

            In the case of any event specified in Section 3.4.1 above, the Agent
shall promptly so notify the Banks and the Borrower thereof,  and in the case of
an event  specified in Section 3.4.2 above,  such Bank shall  promptly so notify
the  Agent  and  endorse  a  certificate  to  such  notice  as to  the  specific
circumstances  of such notice,  and the Agent shall promptly send copies of such
notice and  certificate  to the other Banks and the Borrower.  Upon such date as
shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such
notice is given),  the  obligation of (A) the Banks,  in the case of such notice

                                       75


given by the Agent,  or (B) such Bank,  in the case of such notice given by such
Bank,  to allow the Borrower to select,  convert to or renew a Euro-Rate  Option
shall be suspended  until the Agent shall have later  notified the Borrower,  or
such Bank shall have later notified the Agent, of the Agent's or such Bank's, as
the  case  may be,  determination  that the  circumstances  giving  rise to such
previous  determination  no  longer  exist.  If at any  time the  Agent  makes a
determination  under Section 3.4.1 and the Borrower has previously  notified the
Agent of its  selection of,  conversion to or renewal of a Euro-Rate  Option and
such Interest Rate Option has not yet gone into effect,  such notification shall
be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate
Option otherwise  available with respect to such Loans. If any Bank notifies the
Agent of a determination under Section 3.4.2, the Borrower shall, subject to the
Borrower's  indemnification  Obligations under Section 4.5.2 [Indemnity],  as to
any Loan of the Bank to which a Euro-Rate Option applies,  on the date specified
in such  notice  either  convert  such  Loan to the Base Rate  Option  otherwise
available  with  respect  to such Loan or prepay  such Loan in  accordance  with
Section 4.4  [Voluntary  Prepayments].  Absent due notice  from the  Borrower of
conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be converted to the Base
Rate Option  otherwise  available  with respect to such Loan upon such specified
date.

               3.5     Selection of Interest Rate Options.

               If the Borrower fails to select a new Interest Period to apply to
any Borrowing  Tranche of Loans under the Euro-Rate  Option at the expiration of
an existing  Interest Period  applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in accordance
with the  provisions of Section 3.2 [Interest  Periods],  the Borrower  shall be
deemed  to have  converted  such  Borrowing  Tranche  to the Base  Rate  Option,
commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period.

                                  4. PAYMENTS

               4.1     Payments.

               All payments and  prepayments to be made in respect of principal,
interest,  Commitment Fees,  Closing Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, Agent's Fee or
other fees or amounts due from the Borrower  hereunder shall be payable prior to
11:00 a.m.,  Pittsburgh time, on the date when due without presentment,  demand,
protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby  expressly  waived by the
Borrower,  and without  set-off,  counterclaim or other deduction of any nature,
and an action therefor shall immediately  accrue. Such payments shall be made to
the Agent at the  Principal  Office for the account of PNC Bank with  respect to
the Swing  Loans and for the ratable  accounts of the Banks with  respect to the
Revolving Credit Loans in U.S.  Dollars and in immediately  available funds, and
the Agent shall  promptly  distribute  such amounts to the Banks in  immediately
available funds, provided that in the event payments are received by 11:00 a.m.,
Pittsburgh  time,  by the Agent with respect to the Loans and such  payments are
not  distributed  to the Banks on the same day received by the Agent,  the Agent
shall pay the Banks the Federal Funds  Effective Rate with respect to the amount
of such  payments  for each day held by the  Agent  and not  distributed  to the
Banks.  The  Agent's  and each  Bank's  statement  of  account,  ledger or other
relevant  record shall,  in the absence of manifest  error, be conclusive as the


                                       75


statement  of the amount of  principal  of and  interest  on the Loans and other
amounts owing under this Agreement and shall be deemed an "account  stated." The
Borrower  shall  pay  all  outstanding  Loans,   interest  on  Loans  and  other
Obligations on the Expiration Date.

               4.2     Pro Rata Treatment of Banks.

               Each  borrowing  shall be allocated to each Bank according to its
Ratable Share,  and each selection of,  conversion to or renewal of any Interest
Rate Option and each  payment or  prepayment  by the  Borrower  with  respect to
principal,  interest,  Commitment Fees,  Closing Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, or
other  fees  (except  for the  Agent's  Fee) or  amounts  due from the  Borrower
hereunder to the Banks with respect to the Loans,  shall  (except as provided in
Section 3.4.3 [Agent's and Bank's  Rights] in the case of an event  specified in
Section 3.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable;  Etc.], 4.4.2 [Replacement of a Bank] or
4.5 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]) be made in proportion to
the applicable  Loans  outstanding from each Bank and, if no such Loans are then
outstanding,  in proportion  to the Ratable Share of each Bank.  Notwithstanding
any of the foregoing, each borrowing or payment or prepayment by the Borrower of
principal,  interest,  fees or other  amounts from the Borrower  with respect to
Swing Loans shall be made by or to PNC Bank according to Section 2.

               4.3     Interest Payment Dates.

               Interest on Loans to which the Base Rate Option  applies shall be
due and  payable in  arrears  on the first  Business  Day of each  April,  July,
October and January  after the date  hereof and on the  Expiration  Date or upon
acceleration  of the  Notes.  Interest  on Loans to which the  Euro-Rate  Option
applies  shall be due and  payable on the last day of each  Interest  Period for
those Loans and, if such Interest  Period is longer than three (3) Months,  also
on the 90th day of such Interest  Period.  Interest on the  principal  amount of
each Loan or other monetary  Obligation shall be due and payable on demand after
such  principal  amount or other  monetary  Obligation  becomes  due and payable
(whether on the stated maturity date, upon acceleration or otherwise).

               4.4     Voluntary Prepayments.

                             4.4.1   Right to Prepay.

            The Borrower shall have the right at its option from time to time to
prepay the Loans in whole or part without premium or penalty (except as provided
in Section  4.4.2 below or in Section 4.5  [Additional  Compensation  in Certain
Circumstances]):

                             (i) at any time with  respect to any Loan to which
the Base Rate Option  applies so long as such payments are in an amount not less
than $100,000 and in integers of $100,000,

                                       77



                             (ii) daily at any time with  respect to any Swing
Loan so long as such  payments are in an amount  not less  than  $100,000  and 
in whole  integer  multiples  of $100,000,

                             (iii) on the last day of the applicable Interest
Period with respect to Loans to which a Euro-Rate  Option  applies so long as
such payments are in an amount not less than $5,000,000 and in whole integer 
multiples of $100,000,

                             (iv) on the date  specified  in a notice by any
Bank  pursuant  to  Section  4.5 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable,  Etc.] with respect
to any Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies.

         Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Loans, it shall
provide a prepayment  notice to the Agent by 1:00 p.m.,  Pittsburgh time, on the
date of  prepayment of the Swing Loans or at least one (1) Business Day prior to
the  date of  prepayment  of the  Revolving  Credit  Loans,  setting  forth  the
following information:

               (x)    the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the 
                      proposed prepayment is to be made;

               (y)    a statement indicating the application of the prepayment
                      between the Swing Loans and Revolving Credit Loans; and

               (z)....the  total  principal  amount  of such  prepayment,
                      which  shall  not be less  than  the  amounts  set  forth 
                      in this Section.

            All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable. The principal amount of
the Loans for which a prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such
principal  amount  except  with  respect to Loans to which the Base Rate  Option
applies,  shall be due and  payable  on the date  specified  in such  prepayment
notice as the date on which the  proposed  prepayment  is to be made.  Except as
provided in Section 3.4.3 [Agent's and Bank's rights], if the Borrower prepays a
Loan but fails to specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche which the Borrower is
prepaying,  the  prepayment  shall be applied (i) first to Swing Loans,  then to
Revolving  Credit  Loans;  and (ii) after giving  effect to the  allocations  in
clause (i) above and in the preceding sentence, first to Loans to which the Base
Rate Option applies,  then to Loans to which the Euro-Rate  Option applies.  Any
prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrower's  Obligation to indemnify
the Banks under Section 4.5.2 [Indemnity].

                      4.4.2   Replacement of a Bank.

             In the event any Bank (i) gives notice under Section 3.4 [Euro-Rate
Unascertainable,  Etc.] or Section 4.5.1 [Increased Costs,  Etc.], (ii) does not
fund  Revolving  Credit Loans because the making of such Loans would  contravene
any Law  applicable to such Bank, or (iii) becomes  subject to the control of an
Official Body (other than normal and customary  supervision),  then the Borrower


                                       78


shall have the right at its option,  with the consent of the Agent,  which shall
not be  unreasonably  withheld,  to  prepay  the  Loans of such  Bank in  whole,
together with all interest accrued thereon, and terminate such Bank's Commitment
within  ninety (90) days after (x) receipt of such Bank's  notice under  Section
3.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable,  Etc.] or 4.5.1 [Increased Costs, Etc.], (y) the
date such Bank has failed to fund  Revolving  Credit Loans because the making of
such Loans would  contravene  Law  applicable to such Bank, or (z) the date such
Bank became subject to the control of an Official Body, as applicable;  provided
that the Borrower shall also pay to such Bank at the time of such prepayment any
amounts   required  under  Section  4.5  [Additional   Compensation  in  Certain
Circumstances] and any accrued interest due on such amount and any related fees;
provided,  however, that the Commitment of such Bank shall be provided by one or
more of the  remaining  Banks or a  replacement  bank  acceptable  to the Agent;
provided,  further,  the remaining  Banks shall have no obligation  hereunder to
increase their Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent may only be
replaced  subject to the  requirements  of Section  9.14  [Successor  Agent] and
provided that all Letters of Credit have expired or been  terminated or replaced
and all Swing Loans have been repaid or assumed by the Agent's successor.

                      4.4.3   Change of Lending Office.

           Each Bank agrees that upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to
increased costs or other special payments under Section 3.4.2 [Illegality, Etc.]
or 4.5.1 [Increased Costs, Etc.] with respect to such Bank, it will if requested
by  the  Borrower,   use   reasonable   efforts   (subject  to  overall   policy
considerations  of such Bank) to designate  another lending office for any Loans
or Letters of Credit affected by such event,  provided that such  designation is
made on such terms that such Bank and its  lending  office  suffer no  economic,
legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of
the event giving rise to the operation of such Section.  Nothing in this Section
4.4.3 shall  affect or postpone  any of the  Obligations  of the Borrower or any
other  Loan  Party or the  rights  of the  Agent or any  Bank  provided  in this
Agreement.

               4.5     Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances.

                      4.5.1  Increased  Costs  or  Reduced  Return  Resulting  
                             from Taxes, Reserves, Capital Adequacy 
                             Requirements, Expenses, Etc.

               If any Law, guideline or interpretation or any change in any Law,
guideline or interpretation or application  thereof by any Official Body charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance with any request
or  directive  (whether or not having the force of Law) of any  central  bank or
other Official Body:

                             (i) subjects  any Bank to any tax or changes the
basis of taxation  with respect to this  Agreement,  the  Notes,  the  Loans  or
payments  by the  Borrower  of principal,  interest,  Commitment  Fees, or other
amounts due from the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes (except for taxes on 
the overall net income of such Bank),

                                       79


                             (ii)  imposes,  modifies or deems  applicable  any
reserve,  special  deposit or similar requirement against credits or commitments
to extend credit extended by, or assets  (funded or  contingent)  of,  deposits 
with or for the account of, or other acquisitions of funds by, any Bank, or

                             (iii)  imposes,  modifies or deems  applicable  any
capital  adequacy or similar requirement  (A) against assets (funded or 
contingent) of, or letters of credit, other  credits or  commitments  to extend
credit  extended by, any Bank, or (B) otherwise applicable to the obligations of
any Bank under this Agreement,

and the result of any of the  foregoing is to increase  the cost to,  reduce the
income receivable by, or impose any expense  (including loss of margin) upon any
Bank with respect to this  Agreement,  the Notes or the making,  maintenance  or
funding of any part of the Loans (or,  in the case of any  capital  adequacy  or
similar  requirement,  to have the effect of reducing  the rate of return on any
Bank's capital,  taking into  consideration  such Bank's customary policies with
respect to capital adequacy) by an amount which such Bank in its sole discretion
deems to be material,  such Bank shall from time to time notify the Borrower and
the Agent of the amount  determined  in good  faith  (using  any  averaging  and
attribution  methods  employed  in good faith) by such Bank to be  necessary  to
compensate such Bank for such increase in cost, reduction of income,  additional
expense or reduced  rate of return.  Such notice  shall set forth in  reasonable
detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by
the Borrower to such Bank ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

                      4.5.2   Indemnity.

            In addition to the compensation required by Section 4.5.1 [Increased
Costs,  Etc.],  the Borrower shall indemnify each Bank against all  liabilities,
losses or expenses  (including loss of margin,  any loss or expense  incurred in
liquidating  or employing  deposits  from third  parties and any loss or expense
incurred in connection  with funds  acquired by a Bank to fund or maintain Loans
subject  to a  Euro-Rate  Option)  which  such  Bank  sustains  or  incurs  as a
consequence of any

                             (i) payment, prepayment,  conversion or renewal of 
any Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option  applies on a day other than the last day 
of the corresponding Interest Period  (whether or not such payment or prepayment
is  mandatory,  voluntary or automatic and whether or not such payment or
prepayment is then due),

                             (ii) attempt by the Borrower to revoke (expressly,
by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any Loan Requests 
under Section 2.4.1  [Revolving Credit Loan  Requests] or Section 3.2 [Interest
Periods] or notice  relating to prepayments under Section 4.4 [Voluntary
Prepayments], or

                             (iii) default by the Borrower in the  performance  
or observance of any covenant or condition  contained in this Agreement or any 
other Loan Document,  including

                                       80


any failure of the Borrower to pay when due (by  acceleration  or otherwise) any
principal, interest, Commitment Fee or any other amount due hereunder.

               If any Bank sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall
from time to time notify the Borrower of the amount  determined in good faith by
such Bank (which  determination  may include such  assumptions,  allocations  of
costs and expenses and averaging or attribution  methods as such Bank shall deem
reasonable)  to be necessary  to  indemnify  such Bank for such loss or expense.
Such  notice  shall  set  forth  in   reasonable   detail  the  basis  for  such
determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Bank
ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

               4.6     Settlement Date Procedures.

               In order to minimize the transfer of funds  between the Banks and
the Agent, the Borrower may borrow,  repay and reborrow Swing Loans and PNC Bank
may make Swing Loans as provided in Section 2.1.2 and otherwise hereunder during
the period between Settlement Dates. Not later than 10:00 a.m., Pittsburgh time,
on each  Settlement  Date, the Agent shall notify each Bank of its Ratable Share
of the total of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Swing Loans (each a "Required
Share") as of the opening of business on such  Settlement  Date.  Prior to 11:00
a.m., Pittsburgh time, on such Settlement Date, each Bank shall pay to the Agent
the amount equal to the difference  between its Required Share and its Revolving
Credit  Loans as of the  opening of business on such  Settlement  Date,  and the
Agent  shall  pay to each Bank its  Ratable  Share of all  payments  made by the
Borrower  to the Agent with  respect to the  Revolving  Credit  Loans as of such
date.  The Agent may at its option effect  settlement on any other Business Day.
These settlement procedures are established solely as a matter of administrative
convenience,  and nothing  contained in this Section 4.6 shall relieve the Banks
of their  obligations  to fund  Revolving  Credit  Loans on dates  other  than a
Settlement  Date  pursuant to Section 2. The Agent may at any time at its option
for any reason whatsoever require each Bank to pay immediately to the Agent such
Bank's Ratable Share of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and each Bank may
at any time require the Agent to pay  immediately to such Bank its Ratable Share
of all payments  made by the borrower to the Agent with respect to the Revolving
Credit Loans.

in the business of extending credit for the purpose,  immediately,  incidentally
or  ultimately,  of purchasing  or carrying  margin stock (within the meaning of
Regulation  U).  No part of the  proceeds  of any Loan has been or will be used,
immediately,  incidentally or ultimately,  to purchase or carry any margin stock
or to extend  credit to others for the purpose of  purchasing  or  carrying  any

                                       85

provisions of the  regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal  Reserve
System.  None of the Loan Parties or any  Subsidiary  of any Loan Party holds or
intends  to hold  margin  stock  in  such  amounts  that  more  than  25% of the
reasonable value of the assets of any Loan Party or Subsidiary of any Loan Party
are or will be represented by margin stock.

the  underwriting  period,  or  for  thirty  (30)  days  thereafter,  Ineligible
Securities being underwritten by a Section 20 Subsidiary.

                      5.1.11  Taxes.

of all taxes, fees, assessments and other governmental charges which have or may
become due pursuant to said returns or to  assessments  received,  except to the
extent that such taxes, fees,  assessments and other charges are being contested
in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which such
reserves or other appropriate  provisions,  if any, as shall be required by GAAP
shall have been made. Other than as set forth on Schedule  5.1.11,  there are no
agreements or waivers  extending the statutory period of limitations  applicable
to any  federal  income tax return of any Loan Party or  Subsidiary  of any Loan
Party for any period.

authorization  of, or a  registration  or filing with,  any Official Body or any
other  Person is required by any Law or any  agreement  in  connection  with the
execution,  delivery  and  carrying  out of this  Agreement  and the other  Loan
Documents and the Acquisition Documents by any Loan Party or to the knowledge of
the Loan  Parties by the  Seller,  except as listed on Schedule  5.1.12,  all of
which shall have been obtained or made on or prior to the Closing Date except as
otherwise indicated on Schedule 5.1.12.

material  extent the financial  condition of any Loan Party or Subsidiary of any
Loan Party or which would affect the Collateral,  provided that the Loan Parties
and  their  Subsidiaries  will  pay all  such  liabilities  forthwith  upon  the

policies  for any  reason  (including  non-payment  of  premium)  nor any change
therein shall be effective  until at least thirty (30) days after receipt by the
Agent of written  notice of such  cancellation  or change,  and (vii) be primary
without right of contribution of any other insurance  carried by or on behalf of

which in the aggregate would constitute a Material Adverse Change.

                      8.2.1  Events of Default Other Than Bankruptcy, Insolvency
or Reorganization Proceedings.

            If an Event of Default specified under Sections 8.1.1 through 8.1.14
shall occur and be continuing, the Banks and the Agent shall be under no further
obligation to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit, as the case may be, and the
Agent may,  and upon the  request of the  Required  Banks,  shall (i) by written
notice to the Borrower,  declare the unpaid  principal  amount of the Notes then
outstanding  and all  interest  accrued  thereon,  any unpaid fees and all other
Indebtedness  of the  Borrower  to the  Banks  hereunder  and  thereunder  to be
forthwith  due  and  payable,  and  the  same  shall  thereupon  become  and  be
immediately  due and payable to the Agent for the  benefit of each Bank  without
presentment,  demand,  protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby  expressly  waived,  and (ii)  require the  Borrower to, and the Borrower
shall thereupon,  deposit in a  non-interest-bearing  account with the Agent, as
cash collateral for its Obligations under the Loan Documents, an amount equal to
the maximum amount currently or at any time thereafter  available to be drawn on
all outstanding  Letters of Credit, and the Borrower hereby pledges to the Agent
and the Banks, and grants to the Agent and the Banks a security interest in, all
such cash as  security  for such  Obligations.  Upon the curing of all  existing
Events of Default to the  satisfaction  of the Required  Banks,  the Agent shall
return such cash collateral to the Borrower; and

                      8.2.2   Bankruptcy, Insolvency or Reorganization
 Proceedings.

              If an Event of Default specified under Section 8.1.15 [Involuntary
Proceedings] or 8.1.16 [Voluntary  Proceedings]  shall occur, the Banks shall be
under no further  obligations to make Loans  hereunder and the unpaid  principal
amount of the Loans then  outstanding  and all  interest  accrued  thereon,  any
unpaid fees and all other  Indebtedness  of the Borrower to the Banks  hereunder
and  thereunder  shall be  immediately  due and  payable,  without  presentment,
demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived;
and

                                      122


                      8.2.3   Set-off.

          If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, any Bank to whom
any  Obligation  is owed by any Loan  Party  hereunder  or under any other  Loan
Document or any participant of such Bank which has agreed in writing to be bound
by the  provisions  of Section  9.13  [Equalization  of Banks]  and any  branch,
Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Bank or participant  anywhere in the world shall
have the right,  in addition to all other rights and  remedies  available to it,
without  notice to such Loan  Party,  to set-off  against  and apply to the then
unpaid  balance of all the Loans and all other  Obligations  of the Borrower and
the other Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document any debt owing
to, and any other funds held in any manner for the  account of, the  Borrower or
such other Loan Party by such Bank or participant or by such branch,  Subsidiary
or  Affiliate,  including  all funds in all deposit  accounts  (whether  time or
demand,  general or  special,  provisionally  credited or finally  credited,  or
otherwise) now or hereafter  maintained by the Borrower or such other Loan Party
for its own account (but not including funds held in custodian or trust accounts
or the  "Horseman's  Account")  with such Bank or  participant  or such  branch,
Subsidiary or  Affiliate.  Such right shall exist whether or not any Bank or the
Agent  shall  have made any  demand  under  this  Agreement  or any  other  Loan
Document, whether or not such debt owing to or funds held for the account of the
Borrower or such other Loan Party is or are matured or unmatured and  regardless
of the existence or adequacy of any Collateral,  Guaranty or any other security,
right or remedy available to any Bank or the Agent; and

                      8.2.4   Suits, Actions, Proceedings.

            If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, and whether or
not the Agent shall have  accelerated  the maturity of Loans  pursuant to any of
the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2, the Agent or any Bank, if owed any
amount with respect to the Loans,  may proceed to protect and enforce its rights
by suit in equity,  action at law and/or other appropriate  proceeding,  whether
for the specific  performance  of any  covenant or  agreement  contained in this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents,  including as permitted by applicable Law
the  obtaining of the ex parte  appointment  of a receiver,  and, if such amount
shall have become  due,  by  declaration  or  otherwise,  proceed to enforce the
payment thereof or any other legal or equitable right of the Agent or such Bank;
and

                      8.2.5   Application of Proceeds; Collateral Sharing.

                             8.2.5.1 Application of Proceeds.

                 From and after the date on which the Agent has taken any action
pursuant to this Section 8.2 and until all  Obligations of the Loan Parties have
been paid in full,  any and all proceeds  received by the Agent from any sale or
other disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, or the exercise of any
other remedy by the Agent, shall be applied as follows:

                                      123


                             (i)  first,  to  reimburse  the Agent and the Banks
for  out-of-pocket  costs, expenses and disbursements, including reasonable
attorneys' and paralegals' fees and  legal  expenses,  incurred  by the Agent or
the  Banks in  connection  with realizing on the Collateral or collection of any
Obligations of any of the Loan Parties under any of the Loan Documents, 
including advances made by the Banks or any one of them or the  Agent  for  the
reasonable  maintenance,  preservation, protection or enforcement  of, or
realization  upon, the  Collateral,  including advances  for taxes,  insurance,
repairs and the like and  reasonable  expenses incurred  to  sell or  otherwise
realize  on,  or  prepare  for  sale or  other realization on, any of the 
Collateral;

                             (ii)  second, to the repayment  of all Indebtedness
then due and unpaid (the Indebtedness  in the  following  clauses  (A) and (B)
shall be pari  passu  and amounts shall be paid ratably to the holders thereof):
(A) of the Loan Parties to the Banks incurred under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, whether of principal, interest, fees, expenses or 
otherwise, in such manner as the Agent may  determine in its  discretion,  and 
(B) of the Loan Parties to any IRP Provider under a Permitted  Secured  Interest
Rate  Protection  Agreement provided by such IRP Provider; and

                             (iii) the balance, if any, as required by Law.

                             8.2.5.2 Collateral Sharing.

                 All Liens granted under each Mortgage, the Patent Trademark and
Copyright  Security  Agreement,  the Patent,  Trademark and  Copyright  Security
Agreement--Calder and Tropical, the Pledge Agreement, and the Security Agreement
and the related collateral security documents shall secure ratably and on a pari
passu basis (i) the  Obligations  in favor of the Agent and the Banks  hereunder
and (ii) the  Indebtedness  incurred by any of the Loan  Parties in favor of any
IRP Provider under a Permitted Secured Interest Rate Protection  Agreement.  The
Agent  under  the  Mortgages,  Security  Agreement,  Pledge  Agreement,  Patent,
Trademark and Copyright Security  Agreement and Patent,  Trademark and Copyright
Security   Agreement--Calder   and  Tropical  and  related  collateral  security
documents  shall be deemed to serve as the  collateral  agent  (the  "Collateral
Agent") for the IRP Provider  thereunder,  provided  that the  Collateral  Agent
shall comply with the  instructions  and  directions  of the Agent (or the Banks
under  this  Agreement  to the  extent  that this  Agreement  or any other  Loan
Documents empowers the Banks to direct the Agent), as to all matters relating to
the  Collateral,  including the  maintenance  and  disposition  thereof.  No IRP
Provider  shall  be  entitled  or have the  power  to  direct  or  instruct  the
Collateral  Agent on any such  matters or to control or direct in any manner the
maintenance or disposition of the Collateral.

                      8.2.6   Other Rights and Remedies.

                      In addition to all of the rights and remedies contained in
this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents  (including the Mortgages),
the Agent  shall have all of the rights and  remedies  of a secured  party under
the Uniform  Commercial  Code or  other  applicable  Law,  all of which  rights
and
                                      124


remedies shall be cumulative and non-exclusive,  to the extent permitted by Law.
The Agent may,  and upon the request of the Required  Banks shall,  exercise all
post-default  rights granted to the Agent and the Banks under the Loan Documents
or applicable Law.

               8.3     Notice of Sale.

               Any notice required to be given by the Agent of a sale, lease, or
other  disposition of the Collateral or any other intended  action by the Agent,
if  given  ten  (10)  days  prior  to such  proposed  action,  shall  constitute
commercially reasonable and fair notice thereof to the Borrower.

                                  9. THE AGENT

               9.1     Appointment.

               Each Bank hereby irrevocably designates,  appoints and authorizes
PNC Bank to act as Agent for such Bank under this  Agreement  and to execute and
deliver or accept on behalf of each of the Banks the other Loan Documents.  Each
Bank  hereby  irrevocably  authorizes,  and  each  holder  of  any  Note  by the
acceptance of a Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Agent to take
such action on its behalf under the  provisions of this  Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements  referred to herein, and
to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder as are specifically
delegated to or required of the Agent by the terms  hereof,  together  with such
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. PNC Bank agrees to act as the Agent
on behalf of the Banks to the extent provided in this Agreement.

               9.2     Delegation of Duties.

               The Agent may perform any of its duties  hereunder  by or through
agents  or  employees   (provided   such   delegation   does  not  constitute  a
relinquishment   of  its  duties  as  Agent)  and,   subject  to  Sections   9.5
[Reimbursement of Agent by Borrower,  Etc.] and 9.6, shall be entitled to engage
and pay for the  advice  or  services  of any  attorneys,  accountants  or other
experts  concerning all matters  pertaining to its duties  hereunder and to rely
upon any advice so obtained.

               9.3     Nature of Duties; Independent Credit Investigation.

               The Agent shall have no duties or  responsibilities  except those
expressly  set forth in this  Agreement  and no  implied  covenants,  functions,
responsibilities,  duties,  obligations,  or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or otherwise  exist.  The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical  and
administrative in nature; the Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a
fiduciary  or trust  relationship  in respect of any Bank;  and  nothing in this
Agreement,  expressed or implied,  is intended to or shall be so construed as to
impose upon the Agent any  obligations  in respect of this  Agreement  except as

                                      125


expressly set forth herein.  Without  limiting the  generality of the foregoing,
the use of the term "agent" in this Agreement with reference to the Agent is not
intended to connote any  fiduciary  or other  implied (or  express)  obligations
arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead,  such term is used
merely as a matter of market  custom,  and is intended to create or reflect only
an administrative  relationship between independent  contracting  parties.  Each
Bank expressly  acknowledges (i) that the Agent has not made any representations
or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken,  including any
review of the affairs of any of the Loan Parties,  shall be deemed to constitute
any  representation  or warranty by the Agent to any Bank; (ii) that it has made
and will continue to make,  without reliance upon the Agent, its own independent
investigation  of the  financial  condition and affairs and its own appraisal of
the  creditworthiness  of each of the  Loan  Parties  in  connection  with  this
Agreement  and the  making and  continuance  of the Loans  hereunder;  and (iii)
except  as  expressly  provided  herein,  that the Agent  shall  have no duty or
responsibility,  either initially or on a continuing  basis, to provide any Bank
with any credit or other  information with respect thereto,  whether coming into
its possession before the making of any Loan or at any time or times thereafter.

               9.4     Actions in Discretion of Agent; Instructions From the
Banks.

               The Agent agrees, upon the written request of the Required Banks,
to take or refrain from taking any action of the type  specified as being within
the Agent's rights,  powers or discretion herein,  provided that the Agent shall
not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability
or which is contrary to this  Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable
Law. In the  absence of a request by the  Required  Banks,  the Agent shall have
authority,  in its sole  discretion,  to take or not to take  any  such  action,
unless this Agreement specifically requires the consent of the Required Banks or
all of  the  Banks.  Any  action  taken  or  failure  to act  pursuant  to  such
instructions or discretion shall be binding on the Banks, subject to Section 9.6
[Exculpatory  Provisions,  Etc.].  Subject to the  provisions of Section 9.6, no
Bank shall have any right of action whatsoever  against the Agent as a result of
the Agent acting or  refraining  from acting  hereunder in  accordance  with the
instructions of the Required Banks, or in the absence of such  instructions,  in
the absolute discretion of the Agent.

               9.5   Reimbursement and Indemnification of Agent by the Borrower.

               The Borrower unconditionally agrees to pay or reimburse the Agent
and hold the  Agent  harmless  against  (a)  liability  for the  payment  of all
reasonable  out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements,  including fees and
expenses of counsel,  appraisers and environmental consultants,  incurred by the
Agent  (i)  in  connection  with  the  development,   negotiation,  preparation,
printing, execution, administration, syndication, interpretation and performance
of this Agreement and the other Loan  Documents,  (ii) relating to any requested
amendments,  waivers or consents  pursuant to the  provisions  hereof,  (iii) in
connection  with the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
collection of amounts due hereunder or thereunder or the proof and  allowability

                                      126


of any claim arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether in
bankruptcy or receivership  proceedings or otherwise, and (iv) in any workout or
restructuring  or in connection with the protection,  preservation,  exercise or
enforcement  of any of the terms hereof or of any rights  hereunder or under any
other  Loan  Document  or in  connection  with any  foreclosure,  collection  or
bankruptcy proceedings, and (b) all liabilities,  obligations,  losses, damages,
penalties,  actions,  judgments,  suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind or nature  whatsoever  which may be imposed  on,  incurred  by or  asserted
against the Agent,  in its  capacity as such,  in any way relating to or arising
out of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted
by the Agent  hereunder or  thereunder,  provided that the Borrower shall not be
liable  for any  portion  of such  liabilities,  obligations,  losses,  damages,
penalties,  actions,  judgments,  suits, costs, expenses or disbursements if the
same results from the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct,  or if the
Borrower  was not given  notice of the  subject  claim  and the  opportunity  to
participate  in the defense  thereof,  at its expense  (except that the Borrower
shall remain liable to the extent such failure to give notice does not result in
a loss to the Borrower),  or if the same results from a compromise or settlement
agreement  entered into without the consent of the Borrower,  which shall not be
unreasonably  withheld.  In  addition,  if an Event  of  Default  exists  and is
continuing,   the  Borrower   agrees  to  reimburse   and  pay  all   reasonable
out-of-pocket  expenses  of the Agent's  regular  employees  and agents  engaged
periodically to perform audits of the Loan Parties' books,  records and business
properties.

               9.6     Exculpatory Provisions; Limitation of Liability.

               Neither the Agent nor any of its directors,  officers, employees,
agents,  attorneys or Affiliates  shall (a) be liable to any Bank for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder,  or in connection herewith
including pursuant to any Loan Document, unless caused by its or their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct, (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the
Banks for the effectiveness,  enforceability,  genuineness,  validity or the due
execution  of this  Agreement  or any other Loan  Documents  or for any recital,
representation,  warranty, document,  certificate, report or statement herein or
made or furnished  under or in connection  with this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents, or (c) be under any obligation to any of the Banks to ascertain or to
inquire as to the  performance  or observance of any of the terms,  covenants or
conditions  hereof or thereof on the part of the Loan Parties,  or the financial
condition of the Loan  Parties,  or the  existence or possible  existence of any
Event of Default or Potential  Default.  No claim may be made by any of the Loan
Parties, any Bank, the Agent or any of their respective Subsidiaries against the
Agent,  any  Bank or any of their  respective  directors,  officers,  employees,
agents,  attorneys or Affiliates,  or any of them, for any special,  indirect or
consequential  damages  or, to the  fullest  extent  permitted  by Law,  for any
punitive  damages in respect of any claim or cause of action  (whether  based on
contract,  tort, statutory liability, or any other ground) based on, arising out
of or related to any Loan Document or the  transactions  contemplated  hereby or
any act,  omission or event  occurring in  connection  therewith,  including the

                                      127


negotiation, documentation,  administration or collection of the Loans, and each
of the Loan Parties, (for itself and on behalf of each of its Subsidiaries), the
Agent and each Bank hereby waive, releases and agree never to sue upon any claim
for any such  damages,  whether  such claim now exists or  hereafter  arises and
whether or not it is now known or  suspected  to exist in its  favor.  Each Bank
agrees that, except for notices,  reports and other documents expressly required
to be  furnished  to the Banks by the Agent  hereunder or given to the Agent for
the  account  of or with  copies  for  the  Banks,  the  Agent  and  each of its
directors,  officers,  employees, agents, attorneys or Affiliates shall not have
any  duty or  responsibility  to  provide  any  Bank  with an  credit  or  other
information concerning the business, operations,  property, condition (financial
or otherwise),  prospects or creditworthiness of the Loan Parties which may come
into the possession of the Agent or any of its directors,  officers,  employees,
agents, attorneys or Affiliates.

               9.7     Reimbursement and Indemnification of Agent by Banks.

               Each Bank agrees to  reimburse  and  indemnify  the Agent (to the
extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the Obligation of the
Borrower  to do so) in  proportion  to its  Ratable  Share from and  against all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs,  expenses or disbursements,  including attorneys' fees and disbursements,
and costs of appraisers  and  environmental  consultants,  of any kind or nature
whatsoever  which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted  against the Agent,
in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement
or any  other  Loan  Documents  or any  action  taken or  omitted  by the  Agent
hereunder or  thereunder,  provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion
of  such  liabilities,   obligations,   losses,  damages,  penalties,   actions,
judgments,  suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (a) if the same results from
the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct,  or (b) if such Bank was not
given notice of the subject  claim and the  opportunity  to  participate  in the
defense  thereof,  at its expense  (except that such Bank shall remain liable to
the extent  such  failure to give notice does not result in a loss to the Bank),
or (c) if the same results from a compromise  and settlement  agreement  entered
into without the consent of such Bank, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
In addition,  each Bank agrees  promptly  upon demand to reimburse the Agent (to
the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the Obligation of
the Borrower to do so) in  proportion  to its Ratable  Share for all amounts due
and payable by the Borrower to the Agent in connection with the Agent's periodic
audit of the Loan Parties' books, records and business properties.

               9.8     Reliance by Agent.

               The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any  writing,  telegram,
telex or teletype message,  resolution,  notice, consent,  certificate,  letter,
cablegram,  statement,  order or other document or  conversation by telephone or
otherwise believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent
or made by the proper  Person or  Persons,  and upon the advice and  opinions of
counsel and other  professional  advisers selected by the Agent. The Agent shall
be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder unless it
shall first be indemnified to its  satisfaction by the Banks against any and all
liability  and  expense  which  may be  incurred  by it by  reason  of taking or
continuing to take any such action.

                                      128


               9.9     Notice of Default.

               The Agent shall not be deemed to have  knowledge or notice of the
occurrence  of any  Potential  Default or Event of Default  unless the Agent has
received written notice from a Bank or the Borrower referring to this Agreement,
describing  such  Potential  Default or Event of Default and  stating  that such
notice is a "notice of default."

               9.10    Notices.

               The Agent shall  promptly send to each Bank a copy of all notices
received from the Borrower  pursuant to the  provisions of this Agreement or the
other Loan  Documents  promptly upon receipt  thereof.  The Agent shall promptly
notify the  Borrower and the other Banks of each change in the Base Rate and the
effective date thereof.

               9.11    Banks in Their Individual Capacities.

               With respect to its Revolving  Credit  Commitment,  the Revolving
Credit  Loans made by it and any other  rights and powers  given to it as a Bank
hereunder  or under any of the other Loan  Documents,  the Agent  shall have the
same rights and powers  hereunder as any other Bank and may exercise the same as
though it were not the Agent,  and the term  "Banks"  shall,  unless the context
otherwise indicates,  include the Agent in its individual capacity. PNC Bank and
its  Affiliates  and each of the  Banks  and their  respective  Affiliates  may,
without liability to account, except as prohibited herein, make loans to, accept
deposits  from,  discount  drafts for, act as trustee under  indentures  of, and
generally engage in any kind of banking or trust business with, the Loan Parties
and their Affiliates,  in the case of the Agent, as though it were not acting as
Agent  hereunder  and in the case of each Bank,  as though  such Bank were not a
Bank hereunder.  The Banks  acknowledge that,  pursuant to such activities,  the
Agent or its Affiliates may (i) receive  information  regarding the Loan Parties
(including  information  that may be subject to  confidentiality  obligations in
favor of the Loan  Parties)  and  acknowledge  that the Agent  shall be under no
obligation to provide such  information  to them, and (ii) accept fees and other
consideration  from the Loan  Parties  for  services  in  connection  with  this
Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Banks.

               9.12    Holders of Notes.

               The  Agent  may deem and treat any payee of any Note as the owner
thereof  for  all  purposes  hereof  unless  and  until  written  notice  of the
assignment  or  transfer  thereof  shall have been  filed  with the  Agent.  Any
request,  authority  or consent  of any  Person  who at the time of making  such
request or giving such  authority  or consent is the holder of any Note shall be
conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder,  transferee or assignee of such
Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

                                      129


               9.13    Equalization of Banks.

               The  Banks and the  holders  of any  participations  in any Notes
agree among themselves that, with respect to all amounts received by any Bank or
any such holder for application on any Obligation hereunder or under any Note or
under  any  such  participation,  whether  received  by  voluntary  payment,  by
realization  upon security,  by the exercise of the right of set-off or banker's
lien, by counterclaim or by any other non-pro rata source,  equitable adjustment
will be made in the manner stated in the following  sentence so that, in effect,
all such excess  amounts will be shared ratably among the Banks and such holders
in  proportion  to their  interests  in  payments  under  the  Notes,  except as
otherwise  provided  in  Section  3.4.3  [Agent's  and  Bank's  Rights],   4.4.2
[Replacement   of  a  Bank]  or  4.5   [Additional   Compensation   in   Certain
Circumstances].  The Banks or any such holder  receiving  any such amount  shall
purchase  for cash from each of the other Banks an interest in such Bank's Loans
in such amount as shall result in a ratable  participation by the Banks and each
such holder in the aggregate unpaid amount under the Notes, provided that if all
or any portion of such excess  amount is thereafter  recovered  from the Bank or
the holder  making such  purchase,  such  purchase  shall be  rescinded  and the
purchase price  restored to the extent of such recovery,  together with interest
or other amounts,  if any, required by law (including court order) to be paid by
the Bank or the holder making such purchase.

               9.14    Successor Agent.

               The Agent (i) may  resign as Agent or (ii)  shall  resign if such
resignation  is  requested by the  Required  Banks (if the Agent is a Bank,  the
Agent's Loans and its Commitment shall be considered in determining  whether the
Required  Banks have requested  such  resignation)  or required by Section 4.4.2
[Replacement  of a Bank],  in either case of (i) or (ii) by giving not less than
thirty  (30) days'  prior  written  notice to the  Borrower.  If the Agent shall
resign under this  Agreement,  then either (a) the Required  Banks shall appoint
from among the Banks a successor agent for the Banks,  subject to the consent of
the  Borrower,  such  consent  not  to be  unreasonably  withheld,  or  (b) if a
successor  agent shall not be so appointed  and approved  within the thirty (30)
day period  following the Agent's notice to the Banks of its  resignation,  then
the Agent shall appoint,  with the consent of the Borrower,  such consent not to
be unreasonably  withheld, a successor agent who shall serve as Agent until such
time as the Required Banks appoint and the Borrower  consents to the appointment
of a successor agent. Upon its appointment  pursuant to either clause (a) or (b)
above,  such successor  agent shall succeed to the rights,  powers and duties of
the Agent, and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent,  effective upon
its appointment, and the former Agent's rights, powers and duties as Agent shall
be  terminated  without  any  other or  further  act or deed on the part of such
former Agent or any of the parties to this  Agreement.  After the resignation of
any Agent hereunder, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to the benefit
of such  former  Agent  and  such  former  Agent  shall  not by  reason  of such
resignation be deemed to be released from liability for any actions taken or not
taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement.

               9.15    Agent's Fee.

               The  Borrower  shall  pay to the Agent a  nonrefundable  fee (the
"Agent's  Fee") under the terms of a letter (the "Agent's  Letter")  between the
Borrower and Agent, as amended from time to time.

               9.16    Availability of Funds.

               The  Agent  may  assume  that each Bank has made or will make the
proceeds  of a Loan  available  to the Agent  unless  the Agent  shall have been
notified by such Bank on or before the later of (1) the close of Business on the
Business Day preceding  the Borrowing  Date with respect to such Loan or two (2)
hours  before the time on which the Agent  actually  funds the  proceeds of such
Loan to the Borrower  (whether using its own funds pursuant to this Section 9.16
or using proceeds deposited with the Agent by the Banks and whether such funding
occurs  before or after the time on which  Banks are  required  to  deposit  the
proceeds  of such Loan with the Agent).  The Agent may,  in  reliance  upon such
assumption  (but shall not be required  to),  make  available  to the Borrower a
corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available
to the Agent by such Bank, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on
demand from such Bank (or, if such Bank fails to pay such amount  forthwith upon
such demand from the Borrower)  together with  interest  thereon,  in respect of
each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available
to the Borrower and ending on the date the Agent recovers such amount, at a rate
per annum equal to (i) the Federal Funds  Effective  Rate during the first three
(3) days  after such  interest  shall  begin to accrue  and (ii) the  applicable
interest rate in respect of such Loan after the end of such three-day period.

               9.17    Calculations.

               In the absence of gross  negligence  or willful  misconduct,  the
Agent shall not be liable for any error in computing  the amount  payable to any
Bank whether in respect of the Loans, fees or any other amounts due to the Banks
under this  Agreement.  In the event an error in computing any amount payable to
any Bank is  made,  the  Agent,  the  Borrower  and each  affected  Bank  shall,
forthwith  upon  discovery  of such  error,  make such  adjustments  as shall be
required to correct such error, and any compensation therefor will be calculated
at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

               9.18    Beneficiaries.

               Except as  expressly  provided  herein,  the  provisions  of this
Section 9 are  solely for the  benefit of the Agent and the Banks,  and the Loan
Parties  shall not have any rights to rely on or enforce  any of the  provisions
hereof.  In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement,  the Agent
shall act  solely as agent of the  Banks  and does not  assume  and shall not be
deemed to have assumed any obligation  toward or relationship of agency or trust
with or for any of the Loan Parties.

                                      131


                               10. MISCELLANEOUS

               10.1    Modifications, Amendments or Waivers.
               With the written consent of the Required Banks, the Agent, acting
on behalf of all the Banks, and the Borrower, on behalf of the Loan Parties, may
from time to time  enter  into  written  agreements  amending  or  changing  any
provision  of this  Agreement  or any other Loan  Document  or the rights of the
Banks or the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder,  or may grant written waivers
or consents to a departure from the due  performance  of the  Obligations of the
Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder. Any such agreement, waiver or consent made
with such written  consent shall be effective to bind all the Banks and the Loan
Parties;  provided,  that, without the written consent of all the Banks, no such
agreement, waiver or consent may be made which will:

                      10.1.1  Increase of Commitment; Extension of Expiration 
Date.

              Increase the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Bank
hereunder or extend the Expiration Date;

                      10.1.2  Extension of Payment; Reduction of Principal, 
Interest or Fees; Modification of Terms of Payment.

           Whether or not any Loans are outstanding, extend the time for payment
of  principal  or  interest  of any Loan,  the  Commitment  Fee or any other fee
payable to any Bank, or reduce the  principal  amount of or the rate of interest
borne by any Loan or reduce the  Commitment  Fee or any other fee payable to any
Bank,  or otherwise  affect the terms of payment of the principal of or interest
of any Loan, the Commitment Fee or any other fee payable to any Bank;

                      10.1.3  Release of Collateral or Guarantor.

           Except for sales of assets permitted by Section 7.2.6 [Disposition of
Assets or Subsidiaries],  release any Collateral  consisting of capital stock or
other ownership  interests of any Loan Party or its Subsidiary or  substantially
all of the assets of any Loan Party,  any Guarantor from its  Obligations  under
the  Guaranty  Agreement  or any  other  security  for any of the Loan  Parties'
Obligations; or

                      10.1.4  Miscellaneous

               Amend Section 4.2 [Pro Rata Treatment of Banks], 9.6 [Exculpatory
Provisions,  Etc.] or 9.13  [Equalization  of Banks] or this Section 10.1, alter
any  provision  regarding  the pro  rata  treatment  of the  Banks,  change  the
definition of Required Banks, or change any requirement  providing for the Banks
or the Required Banks to authorize the taking of any action hereunder

                                      132


provided,  further, that no agreement,  waiver or consent which would modify the
interests, rights or obligations of the Agent in its capacity as Agent or as the
issuer of Letters of Credit  shall be effective  without the written  consent of
the Agent.

               10.2   No Implied Waivers; Cumulative Remedies; Writing Required.

               No course of dealing  and no delay or failure of the Agent or any
Bank in exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege under this Agreement or
any other Loan  Document  shall affect any other or future  exercise  thereof or
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof or
any  abandonment  or  discontinuance  of steps to enforce  such a right,  power,
remedy or privilege preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right,
power,  remedy or privilege.  The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Banks
under  this  Agreement  and any other  Loan  Documents  are  cumulative  and not
exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. Any waiver,
permit,  consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Bank of
any breach or default  under this  Agreement or any such waiver of any provision
or condition of this Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only to
the extent specifically set forth in such writing.

               10.3 Reimbursement and Indemnification of Banks by the Borrower; 
Taxes.

               The  Borrower  agrees  unconditionally  upon  demand  to  pay  or
reimburse  to each  Bank  (other  than the  Agent,  as to which  the  Borrower's
Obligations  are set forth in Section 9.5  [Reimbursement  of Agent By Borrower,
Etc.]) and to save such Bank  harmless  against (i) liability for the payment of
all reasonable  out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements  (including fees
and expenses of counsel for each Bank except with respect to (a) and (b) below),
incurred  by  such  Bank  (a)  in  connection   with  the   administration   and
interpretation  of this  Agreement,  and other  instruments  and documents to be
delivered  hereunder,  (b)  relating  to any  amendments,  waivers  or  consents
pursuant to the provisions  hereof,  (c) in connection  with the  enforcement of
this  Agreement  or any other  Loan  Document,  or  collection  of  amounts  due
hereunder or thereunder or the proof and allowability of any claim arising under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether in bankruptcy or receivership
proceedings  or  otherwise,  and  (d)  in any  workout  or  restructuring  or in
connection with the protection,  preservation, exercise or enforcement of any of
the terms hereof or of any rights  hereunder or under any other Loan Document or
in connection with any  foreclosure,  collection or bankruptcy  proceedings,  or
(ii)  all  liabilities,   obligations,   losses,  damages,  penalties,  actions,
judgments,  suits,  costs,  expenses  or  disbursements  of any  kind or  nature
whatsoever  which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted  against such Bank,
in its capacity as such, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement
or any  other  Loan  Documents  or any  action  taken or  omitted  by such  Bank
hereunder or thereunder,  provided that the Borrower shall not be liable for any
portion of such liabilities,  obligations,  losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments,  suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (A) if the same results from
such Bank's gross negligence or willful  misconduct,  or (B) if the Borrower was
not given notice of the subject claim and the  opportunity to participate in the
defense thereof, at its expense (except that the Borrower shall remain liable to
the  extent  such  failure  to give  notice  does  not  result  in a loss to the

                                      133


Borrower),  or (C) if the same results from a compromise or settlement agreement
entered  into  without  the  consent  of  the  Borrower,   which  shall  not  be
unreasonably  withheld. The Banks will attempt to minimize the fees and expenses
of legal  counsel  for the  Banks  which are  subject  to  reimbursement  by the
Borrower  hereunder by  considering  the usage of one law firm to represent  the
Banks and the Agent if appropriate under the circumstances.  The Borrower agrees
unconditionally to pay all stamp, document,  transfer, recording or filing taxes
or fees and similar impositions now or hereafter  determined by the Agent or any
Bank to be payable in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
and the Borrower agrees unconditionally to save the Agent and the Banks harmless
from and  against any and all present or future  claims,  liabilities  or losses
with  respect to or  resulting  from any  omission to pay or delay in paying any
such taxes, fees or impositions.

               10.4    Holidays.

               Whenever payment of a Loan to be made or taken hereunder shall be
due on a day which is not a Business Day such  payment  shall be due on the next
Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing  interest
and fees,  except that the Loans shall be due on the Business Day  preceding the
Expiration  Date if the  Expiration  Date is not a Business  Day.  Whenever  any
payment  or action to be made or taken  hereunder  (other  than  payment  of the
Loans)  shall be  stated to be due on a day which is not a  Business  Day,  such
payment  or action  shall be made or taken on the next  following  Business  Day
(except as provided in Section 3.2  [Interest  Periods] with respect to Interest
Periods under the  Euro-Rate  Option),  and such  extension of time shall not be
included in computing  interest or fees, if any, in connection with such payment
or action.

               10.5    Funding by Branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate.

                      10.5.1  Notional Funding.

         Each Bank shall have the right from time to time, without notice to the
Borrower, to deem any branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate (which for the purposes of
this Section 10.5 shall mean any corporation or association which is directly or
indirectly  controlled by or is under direct or indirect common control with any
corporation or association  which directly or indirectly  controls such Bank) of
such Bank to have made,  maintained  or funded  any Loan to which the  Euro-Rate
Option  applies  at any  time,  provided  that  immediately  following  (on  the
assumption that a payment were then due from the Borrower to such other office),
and as a result of such  change,  the  Borrower  would not be under any  greater
financial obligation pursuant to Section 4.5 [Additional Compensation in Certain
Circumstances]  than it would have been in the absence of such change.  Notional
funding  offices  may be  selected  by each Bank  without  regard to such Bank's
actual  methods of making,  maintaining  or funding  the Loans or any sources of
funding actually used by or available to such Bank.

                                      134


                      10.5.2  Actual Funding.

            Each Bank shall have the right from time to time to make or maintain
any Loan by arranging for a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Bank to make
or maintain  such Loan subject to the last sentence of this Section  10.5.2.  If
any Bank causes a branch,  Subsidiary  or Affiliate to make or maintain any part
of the Loans hereunder, all terms and conditions of this Agreement shall, except
where the context clearly requires otherwise,  be applicable to such part of the
Loans to the same extent as if such Loans were made or  maintained by such Bank,
but in no event shall any Bank's use of such a branch,  Subsidiary  or Affiliate
to make or  maintain  any part of the Loans  hereunder  cause  such Bank or such
branch,  Subsidiary  or Affiliate  to incur any cost or expenses  payable by the
Borrower  hereunder or require the Borrower to pay any other compensation to any
Bank  (including  any  expenses  incurred  or payable  pursuant  to Section  4.5
[Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]) which would otherwise not be
incurred.

               10.6    Notices.

               All   notices,   requests,    demands,   directions   and   other
communications  (as  used in this  Section  10.6,  collectively  referred  to as
"notices")  given to or made upon any party hereto under the  provisions of this
Agreement  shall be by  telephone  or in writing  (including  telex or facsimile
communication)  unless  otherwise  expressly  permitted  hereunder  and shall be
delivered  or sent by  telex  or  facsimile  to the  respective  parties  at the
addresses and numbers set forth under their  respective names on Schedule 1.1(B)
hereof or in accordance with any subsequent unrevoked written direction from any
party to the others.  All notices shall,  except as otherwise  expressly  herein
provided, be effective (a) in the case of telex or facsimile, when received, (b)
in the case of hand-delivered  notice, when  hand-delivered,  (c) in the case of
telephone,  when telephoned,  provided,  however, that in order to be effective,
telephonic  notices  must be  confirmed in writing no later than the next day by
letter,  facsimile  or telex,  (d) if given by mail,  four (4) days  after  such
communication is deposited in the mail with first-class postage prepaid,  return
receipt  requested,  and (e) if  given  by any  other  means  (including  by air
courier),  when  delivered;  provided,  that  notices to the Agent  shall not be
effective  until  received.  Any Bank  giving any notice to any Loan Party shall
simultaneously  send a copy thereof to the Agent,  and the Agent shall  promptly
notify the other Banks of the receipt by it of any such notice.

               10.7    Severability.

               The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If
any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or  unenforceable in whole
or in part in any jurisdiction,  such provision shall, as to such  jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or  unenforceability  without in
any  manner  affecting  the  validity  or  enforceability  thereof  in any other
jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

               10.8    Governing Law.

               Each   Letter  of  Credit  and  Section  2.7  [Letter  of  Credit
Subfacility]   shall  be  subject  to  the  Uniform  Customs  and  Practice  for
Documentary   Credits  (1993  Revision),   International   Chamber  of  Commerce
Publication  No. 500,  as the same may be revised or amended  from time to time,
and  to  the  extent  not  inconsistent  therewith,  the  internal  laws  of the
Commonwealth  of Kentucky  without regard to its conflict of laws principles and
the balance of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract under the Laws of
the  Commonwealth  of  Kentucky  and for all  purposes  shall be governed by and
construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the  Commonwealth
of Kentucky without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

               10.9    Prior Understanding.

               This Agreement and the other Loan  Documents  supersede all prior
understandings  and  agreements,  whether  written or oral,  between the parties
hereto and thereto relating to the transactions provided for herein and therein,
including any prior confidentiality agreements and commitments.

               10.10   Duration; Survival.

               All  representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained
herein or made in  connection  herewith  shall  survive  the making of Loans and
issuance  of  Letters  of Credit  and shall not be waived by the  execution  and
delivery of this Agreement,  any  investigation  by the Agent or the Banks,  the
making of Loans, issuance of Letters of Credit, or payment in full of the Loans.
All  covenants  and  agreements  of the Loan  Parties  contained in Sections 7.1
[Affirmative   Covenants],   7.2  [Negative   Covenants]   and  7.3   [Reporting
Requirements]  herein shall continue in full force and effect from and after the
date  hereof so long as the  Borrower  may borrow or  request  Letters of Credit
hereunder and until  termination of the  Commitments  and payment in full of the
Loans and expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit.  All covenants and
agreements  of  the  Borrower  contained  herein  relating  to  the  payment  of
principal,   interest,   premiums,   additional  compensation  or  expenses  and
indemnification,  including  those set forth in the Notes,  Section 4 [Payments]
and Sections 9.5 [Reimbursement of Agent by Borrower,  Etc.], 9.7 [Reimbursement
of Agent by Banks,  Etc.] and 10.3  [Reimbursement of Banks by Borrower;  Etc.],
shall survive  payment in full of the Loans,  expiration or  termination  of the
Letters of Credit and termination of the Commitments.

               10.11   Successors and Assigns.

(i) This  Agreement  shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
Banks, the Agent, the Loan Parties and their respective  successors and assigns,
except that none of the Loan  Parties  may assign or transfer  any of its rights
and  Obligations  hereunder  or any interest  herein.  Each Bank may, at its own
cost,  make  assignments  of or sell  participations  in all or any  part of its
Commitments  and the Loans  made by it to one or more  banks or other  entities,
subject  to the  consent  of the  Borrower  and the Agent  with  respect  to any

                                      136


assignee,  such consent not to be  unreasonably  withheld,  provided that (1) no
consent of the Borrower  shall be required (A) if an Event of Default exists and
is continuing,  or (B) in the case of an assignment by a Bank to an Affiliate of
such Bank,  and (2) any assignment by a Bank to a Person other than an Affiliate
of such Bank may not be made in amounts  less than the lesser of  $5,000,000  or
the amount of the assigning  Bank's  Commitment.  In the case of an  assignment,
upon  receipt  by the  Agent of the fully  executed  Assignment  and  Assumption
Agreement,  the assignee  shall have, to the extent of such  assignment  (unless
otherwise  provided  therein),  the same rights,  benefits and obligations as it
would have if it had been a signatory Bank hereunder,  the Commitments  shall be
adjusted accordingly, and upon surrender of any Note subject to such assignment,
the Borrower  shall  execute and deliver a new Note to the assignee in an amount
equal to the amount of the Revolving Credit  Commitment  assumed by it and a new
Revolving  Credit Note to the assigning Bank in an amount equal to the Revolving
Credit Commitment retained by it hereunder. Any Bank which assigns any or all of
its  Commitment  or Loans to a Person other than an Affiliate of such Bank shall
pay to the Agent a service fee in the amount of $3,500 for each  assignment.  In
the  case of a  participation,  the  participant  shall  only  have  the  rights
specified in Section 8.2.3 [Set-off] (the participant's rights against such Bank
in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed
by such Bank in favor of the participant relating thereto and not to include any
voting rights except with respect to changes of the type  referenced in Sections
10.1.1 [Increase of Commitment,  Etc.], 10.1.2 [Extension of Payment,  Etc.], or
10.1.3  [Release of Collateral or  Guarantor]),  all of such Bank's  obligations
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall remain unchanged,  and all
amounts payable by any Loan Party hereunder or thereunder shall be determined as
if such Bank had not sold such participation.

                             (ii) Any assignee or participant which is not
incorporated under the Laws of the United  States of America or a state  thereof
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent the form of  certificate  described
in Section 10.17 [Tax  Withholding Clause]  relating to federal income tax 
withholding. Each Bank may furnish any publicly available information concerning
any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries and any other information concerning any Loan
Party or its  Subsidiaries  in the possession  of such  Bank  from  time to time
to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees or participants),
provided that such assignees and  participants  agree  to  be  bound  by  the  
provisions  of  Section  10.12 [Confidentiality].

                             (iii) Notwithstanding any other provision in this 
Agreement, any Bank may at any time  pledge or grant a security  interest in all
or any  portion of its rights under this  Agreement,  its Note and the other  
Loan  Documents  to any  Federal Reserve  Bank in  accordance  with  Regulation 
A of the  FRB or  U.S.  Treasury Regulation 31 CFR Section 203.14 without notice
to or consent of the Borrower or the Agent.  No such  pledge or grant of a 
security interest shall release the transferor Bank of its obligations hereunder
or under any other Loan Document.

         The Agent and the Banks each agree to keep confidential all information
obtained  from  any Loan  Party  or its  Subsidiaries  which  is  nonpublic  and
confidential  or proprietary in nature  (including any  information the Borrower
specifically  designates as confidential),  except as provided below, and to use
such information only in connection with their respective  capacities under this
Agreement  and for the  purposes  contemplated  hereby.  The Agent and the Banks

provisions like those in Section 10.12.1),  (iii) to the extent requested by any
bank regulatory authority or, with notice to the Borrower, as otherwise required
by applicable Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process,  or in connection
with  any   investigation   or  proceeding   arising  out  of  the  transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, (iv) if it becomes publicly available other than
as a result of a breach of this Agreement or becomes available from a source not
known to be  subject to  confidentiality  restrictions,  or (v) if the  Borrower
shall have consented to such disclosure.

                10.12.2 Sharing Information With Affiliates of the Banks.

         Each Loan Party acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory,
investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to the Borrower

otherwise) by any Bank or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Bank
and  each  of the  Loan  Parties  hereby  authorizes  each  Bank  to  share  any
information  delivered  to such  Bank by such Loan  Party  and its  Subsidiaries

enter into this Agreement,  to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Bank, it
being  understood  that any such  Subsidiary or affiliate of any Bank  receiving
such  information  shall be bound by the provisions of Section  10.12.1 as if it
were a Bank  hereunder.  Such  Authorization  shall survive the repayment of the
Loans and other Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.

               10.17   Tax Withholding Clause.

               Each  Bank  or  assignee  or  participant  of a Bank  that is not
incorporated  under the Laws of the United  States of America or a state thereof
agrees that it will  deliver to each of the  Borrower and the Agent two (2) duly
completed  copies of the following:  (i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, 4224
or 1001, or other  applicable form prescribed by the Internal  Revenue  Service,
certifying  that such Bank,  assignee  or  participant  is  entitled  to receive
payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents  without deduction or
withholding of any United States federal income taxes, or is subject to such tax
at a reduced  rate under an  applicable  tax treaty,  or (ii)  Internal  Revenue
Service  Form  W-8 or  other  applicable  form or a  certificate  of such  Bank,
assignee or  participant  indicating  that no such  exemption or reduced rate is
allowable  with respect to such  payments.  Each Bank,  assignee or  participant
required to deliver to the Borrower and the Agent a form or certificate pursuant
to the preceding sentence shall deliver such form or certificate as follows: (A)
each Bank which is a party hereto on the Closing Date shall deliver such form or
certificate at least five (5) Business Days prior to the first date on which any
interest or fees are payable by the Borrower  hereunder  for the account of such
Bank; (B) each assignee or participant shall deliver such form or certificate at
least five (5) Business  Days before the  effective  date of such  assignment or
participation  (unless  the  Agent  in its sole  discretion  shall  permit  such
assignee or participant  to deliver such form or certificate  less than five (5)
Business  Days  before  such  date in  which  case it  shall  be due on the date
specified by the Agent).  Each Bank, assignee or participant which so delivers a
Form  W-8,  W-9,  4224 or 1001  further  undertakes  to  deliver  to each of the
Borrower  and the Agent two (2)  additional  copies of such form (or a successor
form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes  obsolete or after
the  occurrence  of any  event  requiring  a change in the most  recent  form so
delivered by it, and such amendments  thereto or extensions or renewals  thereof
as may be reasonably  requested by the Borrower or the Agent,  either certifying
that such Bank,  assignee or participant  is entitled to receive  payments under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents  without deduction or withholding of

                                      140


any United  States  federal  income taxes or is subject to such tax at a reduced
rate under an applicable tax treaty or stating that no such exemption or reduced
rate is allowable. The Agent shall be entitled to withhold United States federal
income  taxes  at the  full  withholding  rate  unless  the  Bank,  assignee  or
participant  establishes an exemption or that it is subject to a reduced rate as
established pursuant to the above provisions.

               10.18   Joinder of Guarantors.

               If a  Subsidiary  of  the  Borrower  is  required  to  join  this
Agreement as a Guarantor pursuant to Section 7.2.8  [Subsidiaries,  Partnerships
and Joint Ventures] or 7.2.5(3)  [Permitted  Acquisitions],  (A) such Subsidiary
shall execute and deliver to the Agent (i) a Guarantor  Joinder in substantially

a Guarantor  each of the  documents to which the  Guarantors  are parties;  (ii)
documents  in the forms  described  in Section  6.1 [First  Loans]  modified  as
appropriate  to relate to such  Subsidiary,  including  opinions of counsel with
respect to such Subsidiary;  and (iii) documents  necessary to grant and perfect
Prior  Security  Interests  to the  Agent  for the  benefit  of the Banks in all
Collateral  held by  such  Subsidiary  and in the  ownership  interests  in such
Subsidiary,  and (B) to the extent required under this Agreement, the Loan Party
which holds the ownership  interests in such Subsidiary shall take such steps as
are  necessary to pledge such  interests  pursuant to the Pledge  Agreement  and
grant to the Agent Prior  Security  Interests  therein.  The Loan Parties  shall
deliver such  Guarantor  Joinder and related  documents to the Agent within five
(5) Business Days after the date of the filing of such Subsidiary's  articles of
incorporation if the Subsidiary is a corporation,  the date of the filing of its
certificate of limited partnership if it is a limited partnership or the date of
its  organization  if it is an  entity  other  than  a  limited  partnership  or

Permitted Acquisition.

               10.19   Joinder of a New Bank.

a "New Bank")  pursuant to an increase in  commitments  (and not by  assignment)
shall  execute  and  deliver  to  Agent  a Bank  Joinder  to this  Agreement  in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1(B)(1).  Upon execution and
delivery of a Bank Joinder (the "Joinder Date"),  such New Bank shall be a party
hereto  and a Bank  under  each of the  Loan  Documents  for all  purposes.  The
Borrower shall repay all outstanding  Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate
Option and such  payment may be made  through with new Loans on the Joinder Date
in which case the New Bank and the other Banks shall participate ratably in such
new Loans. The New Bank shall  participate in all Letters of Credit  outstanding
on the Joinder Date. The New Bank shall not participate in any Revolving  Credit
Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies which are outstanding on the Joinder
Date. If Borrower should renew after the Joinder Date the Euro-Rate  Option with
respect to Revolving  Credit Loans  existing on such date, the Borrower shall be

                                      141


deemed to repay the  applicable  Revolving  Credit Loans on the renewal date and
then  reborrow  a  similar  amount  on  such  date so that  the New  Bank  shall
participate  in such  Revolving  Credit Loans after such renewal date.  Schedule
1.1(B) shall be amended and restated on the date of such Bank Joinder to read as
set  forth on the  attachment  to such  Bank  Joinder.  Simultaneously  with the
execution and delivery of such Bank Joinder,  Borrower shall execute a Revolving
Credit  Note and deliver it to such New Bank  together  with  originals  of such
other documents  described in Section 6.1 hereof as such New Bank may reasonably
require.

        For purposes of  determining  the  Applicable  Margin and the Applicable
Commitment  Fee Rate under this Schedule  1.1(A)(1) and Schedule  1.1(A)(2) when
such schedule goes into effect:

        (a) The Applicable  Margin and the Applicable  Commitment Fee Rate shall
be  determined  on the Closing  Date based on the Leverage  Ratio  computed in a
certificate  in the form of Exhibit  6.1.4 to be  delivered  on the Closing Date
setting forth the Leverage  Ratio for the four  quarters  ending on December 31,
1998.

        (b) The Applicable  Margin and the Applicable  Commitment Fee Rate shall
be recomputed  as of the end of each fiscal  quarter  ending after  December 31,
1998 based on the Leverage Ratio as of such quarter end and at any time that the
Borrower  makes  a  Permitted  Acquisition.  Any  increase  or  decrease  in the
Applicable Margin or the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate computed as of a quarter
end  shall  be  effective  on the  date  on  which  the  Compliance  Certificate
evidencing  such  computation is due to be delivered  under Section  7.3.3.  Any
increase  in  the  Applicable  Margin  or the  Applicable  Commitment  Fee  Rate
resulting from a Permitted  Acquisition shall become effective as of the date of
such  Permitted  Acquisition.  Any  decrease  in the  Applicable  Margin  or the
Applicable  Commitment Fee Rate resulting from a Permitted Acquisition shall not

                                      147


become effective at the time of such Permitted  Acquisition;  adjustments to the
Applicable Margin and the Applicable  Commitment Fee Rate after the date of such
Permitted  Acquisition shall be made only upon receipt of a quarterly Compliance
Certificate  evidencing  that an adjustment is to be made in accordance with the
first and second sentence of this paragraph.
