1.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997, for
Kevco, Inc. includes a summary of significant accounting policies and should be
read in conjunction with this Form 10-Q.  The accompanying consolidated
financial statements of Kevco, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("Kevco"
or the "Company") have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").  Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") for complete financial statements.  All
significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

     In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered
necessary for a fair statement of the balance sheets as of March 31, 1998 and
December 31, 1997, the statements of income for the three-month periods ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997 and the statements of cash flows for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.  The results of operations for the three-
month periods ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results
of operations for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 1998.

2.  ACQUISITIONS
 
     During the year ended December 31, 1997, Kevco acquired Shelter Components
Corporation ("Shelter") on December 1, 1997 (the "Shelter Acquisition"), the
inventory and certain distribution rights from Shepherd Products Company on
December 12, 1997 (the "Shepherd Acquisition"), Bowen Supply, Inc. on February
28, 1997 (the "Bowen Acquisition") and Consolidated Forest Products, L.L.C. on
February 27, 1997 (the "Consolidated Forest Acquisition") (collectively, the
"1997 Acquisitions") for total purchase prices approximating $144.8 million,
$8.0 million, $20.2 million and $14.1 million, respectively.  The 1997
Acquisitions were made utilizing borrowings under the Company's amended and
restated credit facility and, in the case of the Shelter Acquisition, net
proceeds from the issuance of $105 million of 10 3/8% senior subordinated notes
due 2007.  Each of the 1997 Acquisitions was accounted for as a purchase and the
results of operations of the acquired companies were included in the
consolidated results of operations of the Company from their respective
acquisition dates.  As a result of such acquisitions, approximately $105.8
million of goodwill was recorded by the Company, which reflects the adjustments
necessary to allocate the individual purchase prices to the fair value of assets
acquired, liabilities assumed and additional purchase liabilities recorded.
Additional purchase liabilities included approximately $1.2 million for
severance and related costs associated primarily with the elimination of certain
administrative and corporate positions recorded in connection with the Shelter
Acquisition in December, $0.9 million of which is outstanding at March 31, 1998.
The Company expects to complete its termination of employees during 1998.

</TABLE> 


4.  CREDIT AGREEMENT

     In December 1997, Kevco and its lender entered into the second amended and
restated credit agreement, which was subsequently amended on February 12, 1998
(the "Credit Agreement") at closing of the Shelter Acquisition (see Note 2) to
allow for aggregate senior borrowings of up to $125 million comprised of a
revolving credit facility of $45 million and a term loan facility of $80
million.  The revolving credit facility and $40 million of the term loan
facility mature in 2003 with the remaining term loan facility maturing in 2004.
The term loan and revolving credit facilities are collateralized by
substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries as well as
the capital stock of such subsidiaries.

     In addition to funds available under the Credit Agreement, the Company
issued $105 million of 10 3/8% senior subordinated notes due 2007 (the "Notes")
under the indenture dated as of December 1, 1997, as supplemented (the
"Indenture"), to complete the acquisition of Shelter.  Interest is payable on
June 1 and December 1 of each year commencing June 1, 1998.  The Notes are
redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at any time on or
after December 1, 2002, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture.  In
addition, at any time on or before December 1, 2000, the Company may redeem up
to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes with the net
proceeds of a public equity offering at a redemption price equal to 110.375% of
the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated
damages, if any, thereon to the date of redemption.

     The Credit Agreement and Indenture contain certain restrictions and
conditions that include cash flow and various financial ratio requirements, and
limitations on incurrence of debt or liens, acquisitions of property and
equipment, distributions to stockholders and certain events constituting a
Change of Control (as defined in the agreements).

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL
 
     The following discussion includes the operations of Kevco for each of the
periods discussed.  This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1997.

     The Company recognizes revenues from product sales at the time of shipment
(or the time of product receipt, in the case of direct shipments from suppliers
to customers).  In some cases the Company sells on a commission basis.
Commissions are recognized when earned and represent amounts earned in selling,
warehousing and delivering products for certain manufacturers of building
products with whom the Company has distribution agreements.  Commission
arrangements do not require inventory investments or receivable financing, and
therefore are significantly less expensive to the Company than traditional
sales.  To the extent the volume of items warehoused and shipped under
commission arrangements increases faster or slower than the volume of items
related to traditional sales, changes in net sales may not be representative of
actual increases or decreases in shipment volume.

ACQUISITIONS

     On February 27, 1997, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets,
and assumed certain liabilities, of Consolidated Forest (a manufacturer of wood
products for the manufactured housing industry) in exchange for approximately
$13.0 million in cash and promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of
approximately $0.7 million.  On February 28, 1997, the Company consummated the
acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Bowen (a wholesale distributor of
building products to the manufactured housing and RV industries) in exchange for
approximately $18.0 million in cash and promissory notes in the aggregate
principal amount of $1.5 million.  The Consolidated Forest Acquisition continued
the Company's expansion into the wood products industry, and the Bowen
Acquisition expanded the Company's product lines by adding new products in
electronics, drapery and door hardware, industrial tape, adhesives and caulks.
The Consolidated Forest and Bowen acquisitions were accounted for as purchases
and, accordingly, the operating results of the acquired companies have been
included in the operating results of the Company since their respective
acquisition dates.  The aggregate Consolidated Forest and Bowen acquisition cost
in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired of approximately $24.2
million has been accounted for as goodwill.

     Effective December 1, 1997, the Company acquired approximately 95.5% of the
common stock of Shelter through a tender offer for a purchase price of $17.50
per share of common stock of Shelter; the Company acquired the remaining
untendered shares through a subsequent merger for a like price.  The Shelter
Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and, accordingly, the operating
results have been included in the operating results of the Company since
December 1, 1997.  As a result of the Shelter Acquisition, approximately $81.6
million of goodwill was recorded by the Company, which reflects the acquisition
costs in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired.  On June 27, 1997,
prior to the acquisition of Shelter by Kevco, Shelter acquired the net assets of
Plastic Solutions, Inc., a manufacturer of injection molded plastic parts, for
approximately $0.9 million in cash and $3.5 million in notes payable to the
sellers.

     On December 12, 1997, the Company consummated the acquisition of the
inventory and certain distribution rights of certain building products
distributed by the manufactured housing and recreational vehicle division of
Shepherd Products Company for a cash purchase price of $6.0 million, with an
additional $2.0 million payable over a five year period following the
acquisition and an additional $2.0 million payable over a period of up to seven
years upon the satisfaction of certain conditions.

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 and 1997

   Net sales increased by $140.0 million, or 194.2%, to $212.1 million for the
three month period ended March 31, 1998 from $72.1 million for the comparable
1997 period.  The net sales increase primarily resulted from the effect of the
Shelter Acquisition in December 1997.  Net sales, without the effect of the
Shelter Acquisition, increased from $72.1 million in 1997 to $91.1 million in
1998, an increase of 26.4%, which is primarily due to the effect of the
Consolidated Forest and Bowen acquisitions as well as a reported manufactured
housing shipment increase of 2.7% from January through February 1998, as
compared to the prior period.  Sales to the manufactured housing industry
represented approximately 80% of net sales for the three months ended March 31,
1998.

   Gross profit increased by $18.8 million, or 186.1%, to $28.9 million for the
three month period ended March 31, 1998 from $10.1 million for the comparable
1997 period due primarily to the 1997 Acquisitions.  Gross profit, as a percent
of net sales, decreased to 13.7% for the three month period ended March 31, 1998
from 14.0% for the comparable 1997 period. The decrease in gross profit, as a
percent of net sales, was related primarily to the fact that wood products
margins, affected by lower than historical lumber prices, continued to be lower
than historical levels, to start-up costs related to the opening of two wood
products plants in Arizona and North Carolina (such wood products represent
approximately 17% of net sales) and to some initial margin pressure related to
the Shelter Acquisition.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $14.2 million, or
184.4%, to $21.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 from
$7.7 million for the comparable 1997 period.  The increase was primarily due to
increased sales volume related to the 1997 Acquisitions.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses, as a percent of net sales, decreased to 10.3% for 1998
from 10.6% for the comparable 1997 period primarily reflecting economies of
scale and cost synergies from the Shelter Acquisition.

     Interest expense increased by $4.6 million to $5.1 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 from $0.5 million for the comparable 1997 period
principally due to borrowings related to the 1997 Acquisitions.

     Net income increased by $0.2 million, or 10.5%, to $2.1 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 from $1.9 million for the comparable 1997
period. The increase is due primarily to increased sales volume due to the 1997
Acquisitions offset by increased interest expense as described above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's growth has been financed through cash flow from operations,
borrowings under its bank credit facilities, proceeds from the November 1996
initial public offering, proceeds from the issuance of the Notes and the
expansion of trade credit.  Net cash used by operating activities was $10.4
million and capital expenditures were $2.5 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1998. Kevco is obliged to make payments on various capital leases in
varying amounts, maturing through 2007 as well as payments under various
noncompete and consulting agreements, related to recent acquisitions, in varying
amounts, through 2002.

     In connection with the acquisitions of Consolidated Forest and Bowen, the
Company amended its credit agreement to allow for a term loan of $30.0 million
and to increase the revolving credit facility to $35.0 million from $20.0
million.  The aggregate cash purchase price of these acquisitions was
approximately $33.2 million, and the assumed debt of approximately $8.4 million
was immediately paid with proceeds from the term loan.

     In December 1997, the Company acquired Shelter for an aggregate purchase
price of approximately $144.8 million.  In connection with the acquisition of
Shelter, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement, which increased the
aggregate borrowings available under the credit facility to $125.0 million
consisting of an $80.0 million term loan facility and a $45.0 million revolving
credit facility.  The revolving credit facility and a portion of the term loan
matures in 2003 with the remaining term loan portion maturing in 2004.

     Borrowings under the term loan and revolving credit facilities require
monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly interest payments (depending on whether
interest accrues based on prime rate or LIBOR) calculated as a blend of the
bank's prime rate and LIBOR based on pricing options selected by the Company
plus a margin determined by operating statistics of the Company.  The term loan
and revolving credit facilities are collateralized by substantially all of the
assets of the Company and its subsidiaries as well as the capital stock of such
subsidiaries.  The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictions and conditions
that include cash flow and various financial ratio requirements, and limitations
on incurrence of debt or liens, acquisitions 

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
of property and equipment, distributions to stockholders and certain events
constituting a Change of Control (as defined in the credit agreement).

     In addition to the funds available under the amended credit facility, the
Company issued $105.0 million of the Notes under the Indenture to complete the
acquisition of the outstanding shares of Shelter.  The Indenture contains
certain covenants that include, but are not limited to, restrictions or
limitations on the following: the incurrence of additional debt or liens, the
payment of dividends by the Company, the payment of dividends by restricted
subsidiaries to the Company, the sale of certain assets, the ability to
consolidate with or merge into another person, the entering into certain
transactions with affiliates and the engagement in certain lines of business.

ASSET MANAGEMENT
 
     The Company actively manages its assets and liabilities through
compensating its corporate and facility managers for receivable collection,
inventory control and profits in relation to these and other net assets
employed.
 
     For the three months ended March 31, 1998, days sales in average
receivables was approximately 23 days, days sales in average inventory was
approximately 43 days and days sales in average payables was approximately 28
days.

              10 3/8% Series B Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2007


    Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in
    the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

1.  INTEREST.  Kevco, Inc., a Texas corporation (the "Company"), promises
    to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate and in the
    manner specified below and shall pay the Liquidated Damages, if any, payable
    pursuant to Section 5 of the Registration Rights Agreement referred to
    below.  Interest on the Notes will accrue at the rate of 10 3/8% per annum
    and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 in
    each year, commencing on June 1, 1998, or if any such day is not a Business
    Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each an "Interest Payment Date"), to
    Holders of record on the immediately preceding May 15 and November 15,
    respectively.

    Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-
    day months.  Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to
    which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has
    been paid or duly provided for, from the Issue Date of original issuance of
    the Notes.  To the extent lawful, the Company shall pay interest (including
    post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on
    overdue principal at the applicable interest rate on the Notes plus one
    percent; it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest (without
    regard to applicable grace periods) at the same rate, to the extent lawful,
    (i) if payment is made during the period of five Business Days following the
    date on which such interest was due, to the Persons who were to receive
    payment on the date such interest was due or (ii) if payment is made after
    such period, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record
    date, which date shall be at the earliest practicable date but in all events
    at least five Business Days prior to the payment date.

2.  METHOD OF PAYMENT.  The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except
    defaulted interest) and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the Persons who are
    registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the record date next
    preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are cancelled after
    such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date. Principal,
    premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes shall
    be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such
    purpose within the City and State of New York, or at the option of the
    Company, payment of interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, may be made by
    check mailed to the Holders of the Notes at their respective addresses set
    forth in the register of Holders of Notes; provided that all payments with
    respect to Notes the Holders of which have given wire transfer instructions
    to the Company and the Trustee shall be required to be made by wire transfer
    of immediately available funds to the
<PAGE>
 
    accounts specified by the Holders thereof. The Company shall pay principal,
    premium, if any, interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes in
    money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for
    payment of public and private debts.

3.  PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR.  Initially, the Trustee under the Indenture
    will act as Paying Agent and Registrar.  The Company may change any Paying
    Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder of Notes.  The Company or
    any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

4.  INDENTURE.  The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of
    December 1, 1997 ("Indenture") among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors
    and United States Trust Company of New York, as Trustee (the "Trustee").
    The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made
    part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15
    U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture.
    The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred
    to the Indenture and such Trust Indenture Act for a statement of such terms.
    The terms of the Indenture shall govern any inconsistencies between the
    Indenture and the Notes.  Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
    meanings assigned in the Indenture.  The Notes are general unsecured
    obligations of the Company limited to $105,000,000 in aggregate principal
    amount.

5.  OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.  Except as set forth in the next paragraph, the
    Notes are not redeemable at the Company's option prior to December 1, 2002.
    Thereafter, the Notes will be subject to redemption for cash at any time at
    the option of the Company, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor
    more than 60 days notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages
    of principal amount) if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing
    December 1 of the years indicated below (subject to the right of Holders of
    Notes of record on an interest record date to receive interest due on an
    Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to such date of redemption), plus
    accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the
    applicable redemption date:

          Year                      Percentage
          ----                      ----------

          2002                      105.188%
          2003                      103.458%
          2004                      101.729%
          2005 and thereafter       100.000%

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to December 1, 2000, the
    Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to an aggregate 35% of
    the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price
    of 110.375% of the principal amount of the Notes (subject to the right of
    Holders of Notes of record on an interest record date to receive interest
    due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or
<PAGE>
 
    prior to such date of redemption), together with accrued and unpaid interest
    and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the redemption date, with the Net
    Proceeds of one or more Public Equity Offerings; provided that at least 65%
    of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally outstanding remain
    outstanding immediately after such redemption; and provided, further, that
    such redemption shall occur within 90 days of the date of the closing of any
    such Public Equity Offering.

6.  MANDATORY REDEMPTION.  Except as set forth in Section 3.08 of the
    Indenture and as provided in paragraph 7 below, the Company is not required
    to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the
    Notes.

7.  REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDERS.

    (a) If there is a Change of Control, the Company shall be required to
    offer to purchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple
    thereof) of each Holder's Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of
    the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and
    Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of purchase.  Holders of Notes that
    are subject to an offer to purchase will receive an offer to purchase from
    the Company prior to any related purchase date, and may elect to have such
    Notes purchased by completing the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect
    Purchase" appearing below.

    (b) If the Company consummates any Asset Sale, the Company shall be
    required, under certain circumstances, to apply the Excess Proceeds thereof
    to an offer to all Holders of Notes to purchase the maximum principal amount
    of Notes that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price
    in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and
    unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages, if any, to the date of purchase, in
    accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.  Holders of Notes
    that are subject to an offer to purchase will receive an offer to purchase
    from the Company prior to any related purchase date, and may elect to have
    such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled "Option of Holder to
    Elect Purchase" appearing below.

8.  DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.  The Notes are in face denominations
    of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.  The Notes may be transferred
    and exchanged as provided in the Indenture.  The Registrar and the Trustee
    may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
    endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to
    pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture.
    Neither the Company nor the Registrar will be required to issue, register
    the transfer of, or exchange (i) any Note or portion of a Note selected for
    redemption or tendered pursuant to an offer, except the unredeemed portion
    of any Note being redeemed in part or (ii) any Notes during the period
    between (a) beginning on the date the Trustee receives a notice of a
    redemption from the Company and ending at the close of business on the date
    the Notes to be redeemed are selected by the Trustee or (b) an interest
    record date and ending at the close of business on the next succeeding
    Interest Payment Date.
<PAGE>
 
9.  SUBORDINATION. The Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees are subordinated in
    right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in Article 11 and
    Section 10.08 of the Indenture, to the prior payment in full of all Senior
    Indebtedness. The Company agrees, and each Holder of Notes by accepting a
    Note consents and agrees, to the subordination provided in the Indenture and
    authorizes the Trustee to give it effect.

10. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.  Prior to due presentment to the Trustee for
    registration of the transfer of this Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the
    Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered
    as its absolute owner for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of
    and interest on this Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or
    not this Note is overdue, and neither the Trustee, any Agent nor the Company
    shall be affected by notice to the contrary.  The registered Holder of a
    Note shall be treated as its owner for all purposes.

11. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER.  Subject to certain exceptions, the
    Indenture, the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees and the Escrow Agreement may
    be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of Notes
    of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes,
    and any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event
    of Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest
    or Liquidated Damages, if any, except a payment default resulting from an
    acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of
    the Indenture, the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees or the Escrow Agreement
    may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of Notes of at least a
    majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.  Without the
    consent of any Holder of Notes, the Indenture, the Notes or the Escrow
    Agreement may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or
    inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in
    place of Certificated Notes, to provide for the assumption of the Company's
    or a Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations to Holders of Notes in case of a
    merger or consolidation, to provide for additional Subsidiary Guarantors, to
    make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the
    Holders of Notes or that does not materially adversely affect the legal
    rights of any such Holder under the Indenture, or to comply with the
    requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the
    qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act or to allow any
    Restricted Subsidiary to guarantee the Notes.

12. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.  Events of Default include: (i) default for 30
    days in the payment when due of interest on, or Liquidated Damages with
    respect to, the Notes (whether or not prohibited by the subordination
    provisions of the Indenture); (ii) default in payment when due of the
    principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes (whether or not prohibited by
    the subordination provisions of the Indenture); (iii) failure by the Company
    to comply with the provisions of Sections 3.08, 4.06, 4.07, 4.21, 5.01 or
    5.02 of the Indenture; (iv) failure by the Company for 30 days after written
    notice from the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount
    of
<PAGE>
 
    the then outstanding Notes to comply with any other covenant or agreement
    (except as provided in clause (i), (ii) and (iii) above) in the Indenture or
    herein, (v) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee
    shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or
    shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Subsidiary
    Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Subsidiary Guarantor, shall
    deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee; (vi)
    default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be
    issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness of the
    Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is
    guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) whether
    such Indebtedness or Guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue
    Date, which default (a) is caused by a failure to pay principal when due at
    final stated maturity (a "Payment Default") or (b) results in the
    acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity and, in each
    case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the
    principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a
    Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates
    $10,000,000 or more; (vii) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted
    Subsidiaries to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $10,000,000,
    which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days
    and are not covered by insurance; or (viii) certain events of bankruptcy or
    insolvency with respect to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary.  If any
    Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at
    least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all
    the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
    in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy
    or insolvency, with respect to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, all
    outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or
    notice.  Holders of Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except
    as provided in the Indenture.  The Trustee may require indemnity
    satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Notes.  Subject
    to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
    then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust
    or power.  The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Notes notice of any
    continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default
    relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest or
    Liquidated Damages, if any) if it determines that withholding notice is in
    their interest.  The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually
    a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is
    required upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver
    to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

13. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY.  Subject to the provisions of the
    Indenture, the Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become
    the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any
    Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not
    Trustee.
<PAGE>
 
14. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No director, officer, employee, incorporator or
    stockholder of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as such, shall have
    any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor
    under the Notes, the Indenture or any Subsidiary Guarantee or for any claim
    based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their
    creation. Each Holder of Notes, by accepting a Note waives and releases all
    such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the
    issuance of the Notes and Subsidiary Guarantees.

15. AUTHENTICATION. This Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the
    manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

16. ABBREVIATIONS.  Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a
    Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (=
    tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of
    survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A
    (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

17. ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF TRANSFER RESTRICTED SECURITIES.  In
    addition to the rights provided to Holders of Notes under the Indenture,
    Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities shall have all the rights set
    forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of the date of the
    Indenture, between the Company and the parties named on the signature pages
    thereof (the "Registration Rights Agreement").

18. CUSIP NUMBERS.  Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the
    Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has
    caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the Trustee may use
    CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders.  No
    representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed
    on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be
    placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

    The Company shall furnish to any Holder upon written request and without
    charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to:

    "Indenture"), all in accordance with the terms set forth in Article 10 of
    the Indenture, (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal
    of any Notes or any such other obligations, that the same will be promptly

    any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees)

    The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors to the Holders of Notes and to
    the Trustee pursuant to this Subsidiary Guarantee and the Indenture are
    expressly set forth in Article 10 of the Indenture and reference is hereby
    made to such Indenture for the precise terms of this Subsidiary Guarantee.

    No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of any
    Subsidiary Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations
    of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary under the Notes, the Indenture
    or hereunder or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such

    and conditions hereof. This is a Guarantee of payment and not of
    collectibility.

    This Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose

    Subsidiary Guarantee is noted shall have been executed by the Trustee under
    the Indenture by the manual signature of one of its authorized officers.

    The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under their Subsidiary

    not constitute a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law.

    that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner
    whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or
    usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may
    affect the covenants or the performance of the Indenture or its Subsidiary
    Guarantee; and each Subsidiary Guarantor (to the extent it may lawfully do
    so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and
    covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any
    power granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of
    every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

    THE TERMS OF ARTICLE 10 OF THE INDENTURE ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY
    REFERENCE.

    Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall
    have the same meanings given them in the Indenture unless otherwise
