WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders, and subject to

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the terms
and conditions stated herein and other valuable consideration, the receipt and

3. Effectiveness of this Agreement; Conditions Precedent. The
provisions of Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be deemed to have become effective as of

conditioned upon the Agent's receipt on or before April 15, 1998 of each of the
following:
(a) an originally-executed counterpart of this Agreement executed by
a duly authorized officer of the Borrower, each other Credit Party, and each of
the Requisite Lenders; and
(b) originally-executed counterparts to a Reaffirmation of Guaranties
duly executed by the Pegasus Funds substantially in the form attached hereto.
4. Representations and Warranties. (a) The Borrower and each other
Credit Party hereby represents and warrants that this Agreement constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower and such other Credit Party
enforceable against the Borrower and each other Credit Party in accordance with
its terms.
(b) The Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby represents and
warrants that its execution and delivery of this Agreement, and its performance
hereafter of the Credit Agreement as modified by this Agreement, have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action, do not violate any provision of
its articles of incorporation, bylaws or other charter documents, will not
violate any law, regulation, court order or writ applicable to it, will not
require the approval or consent of any governmental agency, and do not require
the approval or consent of any third party under the terms of any contract or
agreement to which the Borrower, any other Credit Party, Parent or any
Subsidiary of the Borrower or any other Credit Party is bound.
5. Reference to and Effect on Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed.
Except as is expressly set forth in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement, neither the
execution, delivery nor effectiveness of this Agreement shall operate as a
waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Agent or any Lender of any Default
or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, all of which the Agent and the
Lenders hereby expressly reserve. The Borrower, each other Credit Party, the
Lenders and the Agent agree and acknowledge that this Agreement constitutes a

hereby (a) ratifies and reaffirms all of its payment and performance
obligations, contingent or otherwise, under each Loan Document to which it is a
party, (b) agrees and acknowledges that such ratification and reaffirmation is
not a condition to the continued effectiveness of such Loan Documents and (c)
agrees that neither such ratification and reaffirmation, nor the Agent's and the
Lenders' solicitation of such ratification and reaffirmation, constitutes a
course of dealing giving rise to any obligation or condition requiring a
ratification or reaffirmation of the Borrower's or the
-2-

other Credit Parties' obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to any
subsequent modifications to the Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents.
7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws and decisions of the State of Illinois (including

conflicts of law provisions).
8. Agent's Expenses. The Borrower hereby agrees to promptly reimburse
the Agent for all of the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including, without
limitation, attorneys' and paralegals' fees, it has heretofore or hereafter
incurred or incurs in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution
of this Agreement.
9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each
of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute one
and the same agreement among the parties.
