PROSPECTUS     
       
                             MAC-GRAY CORPORATION
                         
                      967,914 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK     
          
  This Prospectus relates to the sale of 967,914 shares (the "Shares") of
common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Mac-Gray Common Stock"), of Mac-
Gray Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Mac-Gray"), by certain former
shareholders (the "Selling Securityholders") of Intirion Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("Intirion"). The Selling Securityholders received the
Shares in connection with Mac-Gray's acquisition of Intirion, which was
consummated on March 12, 1998 by way of the merger (the "Merger") of MI
Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation ("MIAC") and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Mac-Gray, with and into Intirion, pursuant to the Agreement and
Plan of Merger dated as of December 22, 1997 by and among Mac-Gray, MIAC,
Intirion and Robert P. Bennett ("Bennett") (the "Merger Agreement"). See
"Summary of Prospectus--Recent Developments."     
   
  The Selling Securityholders, directly or through agents, dealers or
underwriters designated from time to time, may sell all or a portion of the
Shares offered hereby from time to time on terms to be determined at the time
of sale. To the extent required by law, the specific Shares to be sold, the
names of the Selling Securityholders, the respective purchase prices and
public offering prices, the names of any such agent, dealer or underwriter,
and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer
will be set forth in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement. See "Plan of
Distribution." Each Selling Securityholder reserves the sole right to accept
and, together with such Selling Securityholder's agents, dealers or
underwriters from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed
purchase of Shares to be made directly or through agents, dealers or
underwriters.     
   
  The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Securityholders from the sale of the
Shares offered hereby (the "Offering") will be the purchase price of the
Shares sold less the aggregate agents' commissions and underwriters'
discounts, if any, and other expenses of issuance and distribution not borne
by Mac-Gray. Pursuant to an agreement with the Selling Securityholders, Mac-
Gray has agreed to pay the costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection
with the registration of the Shares, including the reasonable fees of one
counsel reasonably satisfactory to Mac-Gray retained by the Selling
Securityholders in connection with such registration; provided, however, that
the Selling Securityholders will be responsible for underwriting commissions
or discounts, transfer taxes, if any, attributable to the sale of the Shares,
any fees or expenses of any counsel, accountants or other persons retained or
employed by the Selling Securityholders (other than the fees and expenses of
one legal counsel as provided above) and out-of-pocket expenses of the Selling
Securityholders and their agents, including, without limitation, any travel
costs. See "The Selling Securityholders and the Offered Shares--Registration
Rights Agreement."     
   
  Mac-Gray will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares offered
hereby by the Selling Securityholders.     
   
  The Selling Securityholders and any brokers, dealers or agents that
participate with the Selling Securityholders in the distribution of the Shares
may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and any profit on the sale of the
Shares by them and any discounts, concessions or commissions received by such
underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting
discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. See "Plan of
Distribution."     
   
  The Mac-Gray Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the
"NYSE") under the symbol "TUC." On June 9, 1998, the last reported sales price
for the Mac-Gray Common Stock on the NYSE was $15 1/8 per share.

  The following is a brief summary, which is necessarily incomplete, of certain
information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus. Reference is made to, and
this summary is qualified in its entirety by, the more detailed information

should be reviewed carefully. The information contained in this Prospectus
gives effect to: (i) the acquisition of Intirion, which was accounted for as a

Mac-Gray Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, that was formerly known as
Mac-Gray Co., Inc. ("Mac-Gray Co."), and Mac-Gray, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership (the "Limited Partnership") and (iii) the acquisition (the "Sun
Services Acquisition") of Sun Services of America, Inc., a Florida corporation
("SSA"), and R. Bodden Coin-Op-Laundry, Inc., a Florida corporation ("RBCO"
and, together with SSA, "Sun Services"), both of which occurred on April 17,
1997. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to Mac-Gray shall
mean Mac-Gray Corporation and its subsidiaries and predecessors, including Mac-
Gray Co. and the Limited Partnership, and businesses that it has acquired from
their respective dates of acquisition, including Intirion and Sun Services. See
"Business."     
   
  Certain of the information contained in this Prospectus may constitute
forward-looking statements. There are a number of important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-
looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, those set
forth in this Prospectus under the heading "Risk Factors."     
   
MAC-GRAY CORPORATION     
   
  Mac-Gray derives its revenue principally through the operation and
maintenance of card and coin-operated laundry rooms in multiple housing
facilities such as apartment buildings, colleges and universities, condominiums
and public housing complexes. Mac-Gray operates its laundry rooms under long-
term leases with property owners, colleges and universities and governmental
agencies. The leases typically grant Mac-Gray the exclusive right to operate
laundry rooms of the lessor's premises for a fixed term, which is generally
seven to ten years, in exchange for a percentage of the revenue collected. Mac-
Gray's laundry room business consists of more than 150,000 laundry machines,
operated in over 25,000 multiple housing laundry rooms located in 27 states
east of the Rocky Mountains. Mac-Gray's principal offices are located at 22
Water Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02141, and its telephone number at that
location is (617) 492-4040.     
          
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS     
          
  New Credit Facility. On April 23, 1998, the outstanding debt under Mac-Gray's
$50 million revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company
and CoreStates Bank (the "Old Credit Facility") was refinanced under a new
senior secured revolving and term loan credit facility with State Street Bank
and Trust Company, CoreStates Bank and BankBoston, N.A. (the "Credit
Facility"). The Credit Facility provides for borrowings under a revolving line
of credit of up to $90 million and converts to a term loan after three years.
Outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility bears interest at Mac-Gray's
option, at a rate equal to the prime rate minus .5% or LIBOR plus the
applicable margin (either (i) 1.5% for loans outstanding which aggregate less
than $50 million, or (ii) 1.75% for loans outstanding which exceed $50
million), or cost of funds plus the applicable margin. The Credit Facility
restricts payments of dividends and other distributions, restricts Mac-Gray
from making certain acquisitions and incurring indebtedness, and requires it to
maintain certain financial ratios. The Credit Facility is secured by pledges of
the capital stock of Mac-Gray's subsidiaries and a lien on Mac-Gray's assets.
       
  Acquisitions. On April 24, 1998, Mac-Gray acquired through Mac-Gray Services,
Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Mac-Gray ("Mac-Gray
Services"), one hundred percent of the outstanding capital stock of Amerivend
Corporation, a Florida corporation, and the assets of Amerivend Southeast
Corporation, a Georgia corporation (together with Amerivend Corporation,
"Amerivend"). The     
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
 
   
acquisition was completed pursuant to a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement,
dated as of March 4, 1998 (the "Amerivend Agreement"), by and among Mac-Gray
Services, Amerivend, Gerald E. Pulver and the Gerald E. Pulver Grantor Retained
Annuity Trust. Pursuant to the Amerivend Agreement, the purchase price was
approximately $33.3 million in cash, including the payment of approximately
$6.8 million of debt. A portion of the purchase price, $1.5 million, is being
held in escrow to satisfy any potential claims in accordance with the Amerivend
Agreement. The funds used to pay the purchase price were comprised primarily of
borrowings under the Credit Facility. Amerivend is a provider of card and coin-
operated laundry equipment in Florida and Georgia. Amerivend also is the
principal distributor of Maytag Corporation's ("Maytag") commercial laundry
products in Alabama, Florida and Georgia.     
   
  On April 23, 1998, Mac-Gray acquired Copico, Inc., a Massachusetts
corporation ("Copico"), through the purchase by Mac-Gray Services, Inc. of one
hundred percent of the outstanding capital stock of Copico. The acquisition was
completed pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 31, 1998
(the "Copico Agreement"), by and among Mac-Gray Services, Copico and certain
stockholders of Copico. In consideration and pursuant to the Copico Agreement,
Mac-Gray issued 250,000 shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock valued at approximately
$4.2 million based upon the closing price of the Mac-Gray Common Stock on April
23, 1998. The cash portion of the purchase price was approximately $11.1
million, including the payment of approximately $6.1 million of debt. The funds
used to pay the cash portion of the consideration were comprised primarily of
borrowings under the Credit Facility. Copico is a major provider of card and
coin-operated reprographics equipment and services to the academic and public
library markets in New England, New York and Florida. Copico provides and
services copiers, laser printers and microform reader-printers for libraries of
colleges, universities and graduate schools. Copico also is the sole provider
of reprographics services to the New York public library system, as well as
other public libraries.     
   
  On March 12, 1998, Mac-Gray acquired Intirion. The consideration paid
consisted of 1,592,992 shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock and approximately $1
million in cash, which cash was paid to the holder of Intirion's Senior
Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Intirion Senior
Preferred Stock"). Intirion is a supplier of combination
refrigerator/freezer/microwave ovens to multiple housing facilities such as
colleges and universities, military bases, economy hotels and motels and
assisted living facilities. The transaction was accounted for as a pooling of

  Set forth below are selected historical financial data of Mac-Gray as of the
dates and for the periods indicated. The selected historical financial data of
Mac-Gray for the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997 were derived
from the historical consolidated financial statements of Mac-Gray that were
audited by Price Waterhouse LLP, whose report appears elsewhere in this
Prospectus. Results for interim periods have not been audited and include all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which management
considers necessary for the fair presentation of the results for such periods;
however, they are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The
selected consolidated financial data set forth below should be read in
conjunction with, and are qualified by reference to, "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the audited
consolidated financial statements of Mac-Gray and the notes thereto included
elsewhere in this Prospectus.     
   
  On March 12, 1998, Mac-Gray completed its acquisition of Intirion which has
been accounted for as a pooling of interests. The selected historical financial
data presented below give effect to the business combination between Mac-Gray
and Intirion.

(1) The financial data for the year ended December 31, 1997 include the results
    of the Sun Services Acquisition subsequent to the acquisition date of April
    17, 1997.     
(2) The 1997 provision for income taxes includes a non-recurring charge of
    $4,037 as a result of the termination of Mac-Gray's S corporation status.
   
(3) Tax adjusted earnings per share data have been adjusted to give effect to
    Mac-Gray's operations as if Mac-Gray were subject to federal and state
    income taxes on a corporate level (at an estimated income tax rate of 40%)
    during the periods presented.     
   
(4) Mac-Gray adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS
    128) in 1997. In conjunction with the adoption of this standard, Mac-Gray
    has complied with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (SAB 98) issued by the
    Commission. Accordingly, earnings per share data have been restated for all
    periods presented to give effect to both pronouncements. Earnings per share
    data are reflective of the Mac-Gray Combination for all periods presented.
        
(5) "EBITDA" is defined herein as income before provision for income taxes,
    plus depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense. EBITDA
    should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of
    operating results or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of
    liquidity and it is not a measure of performance or financial condition
    under generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA is presented because
    Mac-Gray's management believes that certain investors may find it to be a
    useful tool for measuring Mac-Gray's ability to meet its future debt
    service obligations, make capital expenditures and satisfy working capital
    requirements.
(6) Shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock issued in connection with the Sun Services
    Acquisition are redeemable pursuant to a contractual arrangement.
   
(7) In March 1998 Mac-Gray consummated its acquisition of Intirion in a
    transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. As Mac-Gray and
    Intirion had differing year ends, financial information for dissimilar
    periods have been combined in the consolidated financial statements (see
    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Actual results presented for
    the quarter ended March 31, 1997 were calculated by combining the
    historical first quarters of each entity (March 31, 1997 for Mac-Gray and
    September 30, 1996 for Intirion). Pro forma consolidated revenue, income
    from operations, and net income calculated by combining the March 31, 1997
    periods for both entities amounted to $22,658, $2,618, and $1,800,
    respectively.

                                 RISK FACTORS
   
  Information provided by Mac-Gray, including information contained in this
Prospectus, or by its spokespersons from time to time may contain forward-
looking statements concerning projected financial performance, market and
industry segment growth, product development and commercialization or other
aspects of future operations. Such statements, made pursuant to the safe
harbor established by recent securities legislation, will be based on the
assumptions and expectations of Mac-Gray's management at the time such
statements are made. Mac-Gray cautions investors that its performance and,
therefore, any forward-looking statement is subject to risks and
uncertainties. Various important factors, including, but not limited to, those
set forth below, may cause Mac-Gray's future results to differ materially from
those projected in any forward-looking statement.     
   
  Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors,
in addition to other information contained in this Prospectus, in evaluating
an investment in the shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock offered hereby.     
          
IMPLEMENTATION OF ACQUISITION STRATEGY; INTEGRATION OF ACQUIRED BUSINESSES
       
  Mac-Gray's growth strategy depends, in part, on its ability to acquire and
successfully integrate and operate additional businesses. In order to pursue
this strategy, Mac-Gray continually evaluates potential acquisition candidates
that provide services to the multi-housing market, including laundry route
businesses as well as businesses that could provide ancillary services to Mac-
Gray's customer base and target markets. In connection with such evaluations,
Mac-Gray may, from time to time, enter into non-binding letters of intent
with, and conduct due diligence with respect to, potential acquisition
candidates. The success of any completed acquisition will depend in large
measure on Mac-Gray's ability to integrate the assets, maintain and improve
the results of operations and increase the revenue of the acquired business.
The process of integrating acquired businesses, and in particular,
geographically diverse operations or operations outside Mac-Gray's core
business, with Mac-Gray's business may involve unforeseen difficulties and may
require a disproportionate amount of Mac-Gray's financial and other resources,
including management time. While Mac-Gray generally believes that its
management team and business structure enable it to operate a significantly
larger and more diverse operation, there is no assurance that Mac-Gray will be
able to successfully integrate acquired businesses into its existing
operations and to implement effective cost savings programs.     
   
  Mac-Gray has experienced increased competition in its acquisition
activities. Growing competition may increase purchase prices for future
acquisitions to levels that make the acquisitions less attractive or
uneconomical. In addition, future acquisitions accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting may result in the recording of goodwill, the
amortization of which may reduce Mac-Gray's net income. If further
acquisitions are made, Mac-Gray expects to continue to use cash and
securities, including shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock, as consideration for
such acquisitions. Use of Mac-Gray Common Stock as acquisition consideration
may result in dilution to Mac-Gray's stockholders. In the event that Mac-Gray
Common Stock does not maintain a sufficient valuation or if potential
acquisition candidates are unwilling to accept shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock
as consideration, Mac-Gray will be required to use more cash resources or
other consideration to continue its acquisition program. In addition, if Mac-
Gray is unable to generate sufficient cash for further acquisitions from
existing operations, Mac-Gray's acquisition program could be adversely
affected unless Mac-Gray is able to obtain additional capital through external
financings or can borrow sufficient amounts. Any such debt financing will
result in additional leverage and any further equity financing may result in
dilution to Mac-Gray's stockholders. There can be no assurance that suitable
additional acquisitions can be identified, financed, consummated on acceptable
terms and integrated into Mac-Gray's operations or that future acquisitions
will be financially and operationally successful. Failure to identify, finance
and consummate acquisitions on acceptable terms, or to integrate acquired
operations into Mac-Gray's operations could have a material adverse effect on
Mac-Gray's business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Business--Company
Strategy."

COMPETITION     
   
  The card and coin-operated laundry services industry is highly competitive.
In most of Mac-Gray's markets, laundry services may be available through
property owners and managers that operate their own laundry rooms ("Self-
Owners"), private, family-owned businesses or large regional and national
laundry services companies. In the competition to supply services to property
owners, local private businesses tend to have long-standing relationships with
customers in their specific geographic market, and the two larger companies
participating in the industry consolidation, each of which has significantly
larger installed machine bases than Mac-Gray's, tend to have significant
operational and managerial resources to devote to expansion and to capture
additional market share. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that Mac-Gray
will be able to compete effectively in any specific geographic location in the
business of supplying laundry equipment services to property owners and
managers or in the acquisition of other businesses. See "Business--
Competition."     
   
DEPENDENCE UPON SENIOR EXECUTIVES     
   
  Mac-Gray is currently dependent to a significant degree upon the ability and
experience of its senior executives. Mac-Gray has elected not to enter into
employment agreements with any of these executives. Mac-Gray's preference to
not utilize employment agreements for its senior executives may affect Mac-
Gray's ability to attract and retain senior executives in the future. The loss
of any of Mac-Gray's senior executives could adversely affect Mac-Gray's
ability to maintain its current operating performance or to achieve growth
through acquisitions. See "Management."     
   
SIGNIFICANT CAPITAL EXPENDITURES; ADDITIONAL FINANCINGS     
   
  The industry in which Mac-Gray operates is capital intensive. Accordingly,
Mac-Gray must continue to make capital expenditures in order to periodically
replace its existing equipment. In addition, Mac-Gray's plan to utilize smart-
card based technologies with its equipment will also result in significant
capital expenditures. While Mac-Gray anticipates that its existing capital
resources, as well as cash from operations, will be adequate to finance
anticipated capital expenditures, there can be no assurance that such
resources or cash flows will be sufficient or that the incremental revenue and
cost efficiencies associated with technological enhancements, such as the
smart card, will justify the significant capital expenditures. To the extent
that its available resources are insufficient to fund capital requirements,
Mac-Gray may need to raise additional funds through public or private
financings that may or may not be on terms favorable to Mac-Gray and, in the
case of equity financings, could result in dilution to Mac-Gray's
stockholders. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources" and "Business--
Card and Coin-Operated Laundry Route Business" and "--Technology."     
   
UNCERTAINTY OF MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF NEW PRODUCTS AND SERVICES     
   
  Mac-Gray is currently introducing, and intends to introduce in the future,
new products and services utilizing smart card based technologies. While Mac-
Gray believes that cashless transactions will be attractive to its customers
and will provide Mac-Gray with certain benefits, there can be no assurance
that there will be widespread acceptance of these products by property owners,
managers, colleges and universities and residents, or that technical or
operational problems will not arise from their implementation. A lack of
market acceptance of these new products and services could have a material
adverse effect on Mac-Gray's business, results of operations, financial
condition and prospects. See "Business--Technology."     
   
DEPENDENCE UPON LEASE RENEWALS     
 
  Mac-Gray's business is highly dependent upon the renewal of its leases with
property owners, colleges and universities and public housing authorities.
Mac-Gray has traditionally relied upon exclusive, long-term leases with its
customers, as well as frequent customer interaction and an historical emphasis
on customer service, to assure continuity of financial and operating results.
There can be no assurance that Mac-Gray will be able to
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
 
   
continue to secure long-term exclusive leases with its customers or that it
will continue to successfully renew expiring leases. Any failure by Mac-Gray
to continue to obtain long-term exclusive leases with a substantial number of
its customers, or to successfully renew its existing leases as they expire,
could have a material adverse effect on Mac-Gray's business, results of
operations, financial condition and prospects. In addition, Mac-Gray has
occasionally experienced loss of business when property owners or management
companies choose to vacate properties as a result of economic downturns that
impact occupancy levels. There can be no assurance that future economic
downturns will not result in similar losses of business. See "Business--Card
and Coin-Operated Laundry Route Business--Facility Leasing."     
   
DEPENDENCE UPON CERTAIN SUPPLIERS     
   
  Mac-Gray currently purchases more than 90% of the equipment that it utilizes
in its laundry route business from Maytag. In addition, Mac-Gray derives a
significant amount of its non-laundry route revenue, as well as certain
competitive advantages, from its position as a distributor of Maytag
commercial laundry products. Although the purchase and distribution agreements
between Mac-Gray and Maytag are terminable by either party upon written
notice, Mac-Gray has never had such an agreement terminated by Maytag. Mac-
Gray also currently purchases substantially all of its smart-card based
equipment from Schlumberger Technologies, Inc. ("Schlumberger"), a
manufacturer of card-based electronic transaction systems. In addition, Mac-
Gray currently procures a substantial amount of the products used by its
Intirion business unit from certain suppliers, including Sanyo E&E
Corporation. A termination of, or substantial revision of the terms of, the
contractual arrangements or business relationships with the suppliers
described above could have a material adverse effect on Mac-Gray's business,
results of operations, financial condition and prospects. See "Business--
Technology" and "--Laundry Equipment Sales, Leasing and Service."     
   
RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY MAC-GRAY'S INDEBTEDNESS     
   
  In the event Mac-Gray borrows significant amounts under the Credit Facility,
such level of indebtedness could have important consequences to Mac-Gray and
its stockholders, including the following: (i) a substantial portion of Mac-
Gray's cash flow from operations would need to be dedicated to the payment of
the principal of and interest on such indebtedness and would not be available
for other purposes; (ii) the ability of Mac-Gray to obtain financing in the
future for working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions,
investments, general corporate purposes or other purposes could be materially
limited or impaired; and (iii) Mac-Gray's level of indebtedness could reduce
Mac-Gray's flexibility to respond to changing business and economic
conditions. The Credit Facility contains various covenants limiting the
discretion of Mac-Gray's management with respect to certain business matters,
including financial and other operating covenants. Failure to comply with any
such covenants, which failure is not waived by the lender, would permit the
lender to accelerate the maturity of the loan, which could have a material
adverse effect on Mac-Gray's business, results of operations, financial
condition and prospects. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital
Resources."     
   
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS     
   
  Mac-Gray relies upon certain trademark, servicemark, copyright, patent and
trade secret laws, employee and third-party non-disclosure and non-
solicitation agreements and other methods to protect the proprietary rights of
Mac-Gray. Mac-Gray periodically makes filings with the Patent and Trademark
Office to protect certain of its proprietary rights, although it has
traditionally relied upon the protections afforded by contractual arrangements
and through common law assertions of ownership. There can be no assurance that
these contractual arrangements and legal claims to ownership will adequately
protect Mac-Gray and its operations from adverse claims made by third parties.
In addition, any such adverse claims or litigation, with or without merit,
could be costly and could divert management's attention from the operation of
Mac-Gray's business.

VOTING CONTROL BY PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS, DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
       
  As of June 10, 1998, the principal stockholders, directors and executive
officers of Mac-Gray and their affiliates beneficially own in the aggregate
approximately 53% of the outstanding shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock. This
percentage ownership does not include options to purchase 432,315 shares of
Mac-Gray Common Stock (options to acquire 84,330 shares of Mac-Gray Common
Stock are currently exercisable) held by certain of these persons, which, if
exercised in whole or in part, will further concentrate ownership of Mac-Gray
Common Stock. As a result, the above-referenced stockholders, if they act
together, possess the voting power required to elect all of Mac-Gray's
directors and to approve all other matters requiring approval by a majority of
the stockholders of Mac-Gray including, in many cases, significant corporate
transactions, such as mergers and sales of all or substantially all of Mac-
Gray's assets. Such concentration of ownership, together, in some cases, with
certain provisions of Mac-Gray's Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation (the "Mac-Gray Charter") and Mac-Gray's By-laws (the "Mac-Gray
By-laws") and certain sections of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
"DGCL"), may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of
Mac-Gray. See "--Anti-takeover Effect of Certificate of Incorporation and By-
law Provisions and Delaware Law," "Management--Directors and Executive
Officers" and "Principal Stockholders."     
   
COMMON STOCK CONTINGENT REPURCHASE OBLIGATION     
   
  Mac-Gray is obligated to repurchase up to 612,026 shares of Mac-Gray Common
Stock issued in connection with the Sun Services Acquisition at a purchase
price of $12.74 per share in the event the holder or holders of such shares
elect to require Mac-Gray to repurchase such shares (the "Put Right"). The Put
Right terminates on October 22, 2000. There can be no assurance that the
holder or holders of such shares will not exercise the Put Right, nor can
there be any assurance that, once exercised, Mac-Gray will be able to obtain
financing to satisfy such Put Right on terms satisfactory to Mac-Gray, if at
all. In the event Mac-Gray becomes required to repurchase such shares, it may
be required to incur additional indebtedness under its Credit Facility to fund
such repurchase. If Mac-Gray were unable to borrow such funds under its Credit
Facility, Mac-Gray would need to pursue alternative financing sources which,
if available, might be at higher interest rates than presently available under
the Credit Facility. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources" and
"Management--Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."     
   
ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECT OF THE MAC-GRAY CHARTER, THE MAC-GRAY BY-LAWS AND
DELAWARE LAW     
   
  Certain provisions of the Mac-Gray Charter and the Mac-Gray By-laws, certain
sections of the DGCL and the ability of Mac-Gray's Board of Directors (the
"Mac-Gray Board") to issue shares of preferred stock and to establish the
voting rights, preferences and other terms thereof, may be deemed to have an
anti-takeover effect and may discourage takeover attempts not first approved
by the Mac-Gray Board, including takeovers which certain stockholders may deem
to be in their best interests. These provisions and the ability of the Mac-
Gray Board to issue preferred stock without further action by stockholders
could delay or frustrate the removal of incumbent directors or the assumption
of control by stockholders, even if such removal or assumption of control
would be beneficial to stockholders. These provisions also could discourage or
make more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, even if such
events would be beneficial, in the short term, to the interests of
stockholders. Such anti-takeover provisions include, among other things, a
classified Mac-Gray Board serving staggered three-year terms, the elimination
of stockholder voting by written consent, the absence of cumulative voting for
directors, the removal of directors only for cause, the vesting of exclusive
authority in the Mac-Gray Board to determine the size of the Mac-Gray Board
and (subject to certain limited exceptions) to fill vacancies thereon, the
vesting of exclusive authority in the Mac-Gray Board (except as otherwise
required by law) to call special meetings of stockholders, and certain advance
notice requirements for stockholder proposals and nominations for election to
the Mac-Gray Board. Mac-Gray is subject to Section 203 of the DGCL ("Section
203") which, in general, imposes restrictions upon certain acquirors
(including their affiliates and associates) of 15% or more of Mac-Gray Common
Stock. See "Description Capital Stock--Certain Provisions of Charter and By-
laws" and "--Statutory Business Combination Provision."

POTENTIAL VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE     
 
  The trading price of Mac-Gray Common Stock may be subject to fluctuations in
response to quarter-to-quarter variations in operating results, changes in
earnings estimates by investment analysts or changes in business or regulatory
conditions affecting Mac-Gray, its customers or its competitors. The stock
market historically has experienced volatility which sometimes has been
unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. These market
fluctuations may adversely affect the price of Mac-Gray Common Stock.
   
ABSENCE OF DIVIDENDS     
   
  Mac-Gray intends to retain earnings to finance the growth and development of
its business and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable
future. Declaration of dividends will in the future depend upon, among other
things, Mac-Gray's results of operations, financial condition, acquisitions,
capital requirements and general business condition. The Credit Facility also
restricts dividend payments. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital
Resources."     
   
MATERIAL BENEFITS TO CERTAIN INSIDERS     
   
  Mac-Gray is obligated to make certain payments to a current director of Mac-
Gray as a result of an agreement entered into in connection with the Sun
Services Acquisition, which was owned by such director. In addition, Mac-Gray
is obligated to make certain payments to the wife of Mac-Gray's co-founder and
former Chief Executive Officer for the remainder of her life. See
"Management--Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."

                                 BUSINESS     
   
GENERAL     
          
  Mac-Gray derives its revenue principally through the operation and
maintenance of card and coin-operated laundry rooms in multiple housing
facilities, such as apartment buildings, colleges and universities,
condominiums and public housing complexes. Mac-Gray operates its laundry rooms
under long-term leases with property owners, colleges and universities and
governmental agencies. The leases typically grant Mac-Gray the exclusive right
to operate laundry rooms on the lessor's premises for a fixed term, which is
generally seven to ten years, in exchange for a percentage of the revenue
collected. Mac-Gray's laundry route business consists of more than 150,000
laundry machines, operated in over 25,000 multiple housing laundry rooms
located in 27 states east of the Rocky Mountains.     
   
  A substantial portion of Mac-Gray's revenue is derived from the operation of
washers and dryers in laundry rooms under long-term leases with property
owners. Under Mac-Gray's long-term leases, Mac-Gray typically receives the
exclusive right to operate laundry rooms within a multiple housing property in
exchange for a percentage of the revenue collected. The property owner or
manager is usually responsible for maintaining and cleaning the premises and
for payment of the utilities. Mac-Gray leases space within a property, in some
instances improves the leased space with new flooring, ceilings and other
improvements, and then installs and services the laundry equipment and
collects the revenue. Mac-Gray sets and adjusts the pricing for its machines
based upon local market conditions.     
 
  Mac-Gray is also a significant distributor for several major equipment
manufacturers, including Maytag. As an equipment distributor, Mac-Gray sells
commercial laundry equipment to public laundromats, as well as to the real
estate industry. Mac-Gray is also certified by the manufacturers to service
the commercial laundry equipment that it sells. Mac-Gray also sells commercial
laundry equipment directly to institutional purchasers, including hospitals,
restaurants and hotels, for use in their own on-premise laundry facilities.
 
  Mac-Gray manages its laundry route business and its distribution and
servicing business from its corporate headquarters in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, where it has centralized its administrative, billing,
marketing, purchasing and refurbishing operations. Mac-Gray also operates
sales and/or service centers in Connecticut, Florida (three locations),
Georgia, Illinois, Maine, Missouri, New York (two locations), North Carolina
and Pennsylvania.
 
FINANCIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MAC-GRAY'S BUSINESS
 
  Mac-Gray's business has the following financial and operational
characteristics:
     
    RECURRING REVENUE--Mac-Gray operates laundry equipment located in
  multiple housing facilities under long-term leases with property owners. In
  addition, Mac-Gray's efforts are designed to maintain customer
  relationships over the long-term.     
 
    HISTORICALLY NON-CYCLICAL BUSINESS--Mac-Gray has not experienced a
  reduction of its business as a result of past general economic downturns,
  including the recession that occurred in the early 1990s, although there
  can be no assurance that this would be the case in the future.
            
    DIVERSIFIED AND STABLE CUSTOMER BASE--Mac-Gray provides laundry services
  to more than 25,000 laundry rooms located in 27 states east of the Rocky
  Mountains. Mac-Gray serves customers in a number of markets including
  apartment buildings, colleges and universities, condominiums and public
  housing complexes.     
 
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
   
  The card and coin-operated laundry services industry serves multiple housing
markets such as apartment buildings, colleges and universities, condominiums
and public housing complexes. Mac-Gray estimates, based upon its analysis of
1990 U.S. Department of Census data on multi-family housing units and colleges
and     
 
                                      11
<PAGE>
 
universities, as well as its analysis of related U.S. Department of Census
research surveys conducted during 1996, that these markets contain more than
3.5 million machines nationally, generating more than $2.0 billion in annual
revenues, and approximately 1.7 million machines in Mac-Gray's current
geographic markets. Trends in the real estate market generally, and in the
multiple housing industry specifically, are having a significant impact on the
laundry services industry and have resulted in increasing consolidation.
   
  The consolidation taking place in the real estate ownership and management
industries, including consolidation caused by the growth of REITs and large
national property management companies, has begun to have an impact on the
multiple housing environment, most noticeably through ownership and operation
of apartment complexes by larger organizations and more geographically diverse
property managers. Many of these larger, more geographically diverse entities
are beginning to outsource on-premise services to enable the property owner or
manager to focus on their core business. By outsourcing services, property
owners and managers are able to respond more quickly and efficiently to the
residents' needs, thereby increasing retention, the critical factor in these
larger entities' profitability. These same property owners and managers are
also increasingly looking for service providers that can service multiple
locations with a broader product mix.     
   
  The laundry services industry has historically been served by small,
independent owner-operators. Many of these independent business owners
commenced operations during the 1940s and 1950s and are facing generational
transfer issues as they reach retirement age. While many of these
entrepreneurs enjoy excellent reputations, they are confronted with
significant capital expenditures necessary to upgrade existing equipment and
implement newly available payment technologies. Faced with these factors, many
are choosing to sell their businesses.     
   
  Recent developments in cashless payment technology have also begun to change
the way in which the laundry services industry conducts business. Cashless
payment technology, the costs of which have historically outweighed the
benefits, has recently become more affordable which, Mac-Gray believes, will
lead to more cashless, card-based laundry rooms. The benefits of cashless
payment technology include enhanced user convenience, the potential for modest
incremental price increases, variable time pricing, reduced administrative
burden and improved cash controls. Cashless payment technology will also
provide property owners with the ability to integrate laundry room services
with previously unrelated amenities, such as door and area access,
photocopying, telephone, rent collection, vending machines and other ancillary
services.     
 
  The card and coin-operated laundry service industry is also influenced by
societal trends in multi-family housing, whether it be in the retirement,
assisted-living or low income rental markets or in the development of larger
and more full-service apartment and condominium communities. As the retirement
age population grows, retirement and full-service assisted living facilities
are being increasingly utilized by those who desire a communal, secure living
arrangement with access to a full range of on-premise services. Mac-Gray
believes that the trend towards multi-family housing will lead to increased
demand for on-premise, modern laundry rooms as well as other amenities.
 
  Mac-Gray believes that the factors discussed above have created an
opportunity for those companies with strong financial and management resources
to grow their customer base and increase revenue and cash flow.
 
COMPANY STRATEGY
 
  Mac-Gray's strategic objectives are to (i) grow its revenue and customer
base and increase profitability and cash flow by refining and expanding its
present operations and (ii) capitalize on the consolidation opportunities that
exist in the highly fragmented laundry services industry. In order to achieve
these objectives, Mac-Gray intends to:
     
    EXPAND CUSTOMER BASE IN EXISTING MARKETS--Mac-Gray intends to use its
  sales and marketing resources to secure additional customers in its
  existing markets. Mac-Gray's sales force is organized to focus on specific
  markets including larger property owners, such as REITs and public housing
  authorities,     
 
                                      12
<PAGE>
 
     
  geographically diversified property managers and colleges and universities.
  Mac-Gray relies substantially on referrals from existing customers and
  intends to continue its historic, proactive attention to customer service
  and satisfaction.     
     
    IMPLEMENT NEWLY AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGY--Mac-Gray has smart card readers in
  more than 9,000 laundry machines and intends to accelerate the use of cost-
  effective smart-card based payment and access systems. Smart-card based
  payment technology permits Mac-Gray to make modest, periodic price
  increases, as well as to establish variable time pricing, which will add
  incremental revenue. The installation of smart card readers has increased
  revenue at existing facilities and has also attracted additional customers
  as a result of Mac-Gray providing a broader product offering.     
     
    Mac-Gray particularly believes that smart-card based payment systems are
  making its laundry equipment more convenient by eliminating the need to
  gather coins to use the equipment. Mac-Gray has experienced increased usage
  in some of its laundry facilities following the recent installation of
  smart card readers. In addition, as card-based technologies become more
  prevalent, their use may also permit Mac-Gray to offer other smart-card
  based services to its customers, including door and area access,
  photocopying, vending machines, telephones, rent collection and other
  ancillary services.     
 
    PURSUE STRATEGIC ACQUISITION OPPORTUNITIES--Mac-Gray intends to continue
  to acquire and integrate businesses that both increase penetration in
  existing markets and also strategically expand Mac-Gray's geographic
  presence. Mac-Gray believes that in-market acquisitions will allow it to
  capitalize on operating efficiencies and increase market penetration. In
  addition, Mac-Gray intends to acquire laundry room operations in new
  markets in order to increase its geographic diversity and broaden its
  potential customer base. Mac-Gray will continue its disciplined approach to
  evaluating expansion opportunities, including an analysis of each
  acquisition candidate's projected cash flow as compared to Mac-Gray's
  desired internal rate of return.
     
    INCREASE POSITION IN COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY MARKET--Mac-Gray intends to
  strengthen its position in the college and university market and to use it
  as a foundation for growth in both existing and new geographic markets.
  Mac-Gray will continue to utilize a sales force which focuses exclusively
  on this specialized market, which is often the first to demand new products
  and services. In addition, Mac-Gray intends to broaden, through
  acquisitions, the services offered to its existing college and university
  customers, including ancillary services typically used by college students,
  which may be outside Mac-Gray's current core business.     
 
INTERNAL GROWTH
   
  Mac-Gray's internal growth strategy is based upon its philosophy that to
experience real, sustainable long-term growth it must retain and build upon
its existing customer base. Mac-Gray has significantly increased its sales and
marketing resources in order to take advantage of opportunities which have
arisen as a result of the consolidation in the real estate industry. Nearly
all of Mac-Gray's employees are eligible for incentive bonuses based upon the
net growth of Mac-Gray's customer base. Mac-Gray's internal growth strategy,
which is intended to expand Mac-Gray's customer base and to grow revenue,
focuses on three distinct efforts: (i) use cashless payment technology to
generate increased incremental revenue, (ii) convert owner-operated laundry
rooms to Mac-Gray-operated laundry rooms and (iii) secure new locations that
were previously served by other independent operators.     
     
    USE EMERGING PAYMENT TECHNOLOGY--Mac-Gray intends to use smart-card based
  cashless payment systems to generate incremental revenue at existing
  locations. For example, Mac-Gray's smart-card based payment systems,
  including those available through Mac-Gray's arrangements with
  Schlumberger, permit Mac-Gray or the property owner to implement modest
  periodic price increases and to use variable time pricing. Prior to the
  availability of smart-card based cashless payment systems, modest
  incremental price increases could not be implemented because of the use of
  twenty-five cent coins to operate the laundry machines and the risk of
  imposing larger price increases than a particular user-base would accept
  without experiencing a reduction in usage. Mac-Gray intends to accelerate
  its use of smart-card based payment technology at existing locations by
  converting coin-operated equipment in response to customer demand.     
 
                                      13
<PAGE>
 
  Mac-Gray further intends to continue to install smart card readers in
  machines at new locations as property owners and managers request this new
  technology in their efforts to retain tenants.
 
    CONVERT SELF-OWNERS--Mac-Gray actively markets to property owners and
  managers who own and operate on-premise laundry rooms. By outsourcing their
  laundry service operations to Mac-Gray, these Self-Owners can achieve
  economic benefits through decreased capital expenditures and increased cash
  flow. In addition, this outsourcing permits property owners and managers to
  focus on their core business with the knowledge that a quality service
  provider is delivering services that help to retain residents.
         
    SECURE NEW LOCATIONS PREVIOUSLY SERVED BY COMPETITORS--Mac-Gray's sales
  and marketing efforts focus significantly on properties where leases with
  competitors are nearing expiration. Mac-Gray's marketing department
  maintains an extensive database of prospective customers, including
  competitors' customers, which includes detailed information that assists
  Mac-Gray in its efforts to secure new customers. Mac-Gray has also
  historically achieved significant growth in this area through referrals
  from existing customers.
 
STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS
   
  Mac-Gray intends to continue to take advantage of the opportunities created
by the changes in the card and coin-operated laundry services industry through
strategic acquisitions of local and regional laundry route businesses. Since
May 1996, Mac-Gray has acquired more than eight laundry route businesses,
contributing to the growth in its machine base.     
       
       
       
       
  Mac-Gray's acquisition strategy has historically included both in-market
acquisitions, which increase Mac-Gray's presence in its existing geographic
markets, as well as add-on acquisitions, which establish Mac-Gray in a
geographic market in which it does not have a significant presence. Mac-Gray's
acquisition efforts have historically focused on both small, local, as well as
regional, laundry route operators.
       
       
          
  In order to offer its customers a comprehensive set of products and services
to meet their residents' increasing demands, Mac-Gray may also choose to
pursue acquisitions of businesses that can provide additional services to Mac-
Gray's customer base and target markets. Mac-Gray believes that, although
certain of these ancillary services may be outside Mac-Gray's current core
business, certain operating characteristics, such as the similarity of sales
distribution networks, customer decision makers and payment and collection
procedures, may present Mac-Gray with attractive growth opportunities.     
 
CARD AND COIN-OPERATED LAUNDRY ROUTE BUSINESS
   
  Mac-Gray currently owns and operates more than 150,000 machines in over
25,000 laundry rooms located in multiple housing facilities. The principal
aspects of Mac-Gray's laundry route operations include sales and marketing,
facility leasing, service, collections and security and equipment
refurbishment.     
   
  Sales and Marketing. Mac-Gray markets its products and services through a
sales and marketing staff of more than 42 people. Mac-Gray's sales staff is
dispersed geographically throughout Mac-Gray's principal markets in order to
support Mac-Gray's customer and prospective customer base. As discussed below,
Mac-Gray primarily focuses its sales efforts on two markets: real estate
(apartments and public housing complexes) and colleges and universities. Mac-
Gray's sales force is charged with two primary functions: maintaining existing
customer relationships and soliciting new relationships. Mac-Gray's marketing
staff is located at its corporate headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
    
    Real Estate. Mac-Gray's regional real estate sales team works with multi-
  housing accounts, such as apartments and public housing complexes, and is
  focused on the needs of existing customers, as well as the needs of
  potential customers. Each sales team relies heavily on referrals from
  existing accounts, as well as the internal expansion of existing accounts.
 
    In response to the consolidation of the multi-housing industry by the
  largest REITs and property management companies, Mac-Gray has assigned
  primary responsibility for the geographically dispersed
 
                                      14
<PAGE>
 
  property owners and managers to one of its senior sales managers. This
  position is focused principally on developing relationships at the
  executive level with many national REITs and property management companies.
 
    Colleges and Universities. Mac-Gray's college and university sales team
  is focused on enhancing relationships with existing accounts, as well as
  soliciting additional colleges and universities. The sales team relies
  heavily on national and regional trade show participation in order to reach
  the various decision makers of existing accounts and new prospects.
         
  Facility Leasing. Mac-Gray typically sets up a complete laundry room
facility in the leased space, including washers, dryers and debit or smart
card readers, tables for organizing and folding laundry and seating areas. In
addition, Mac-Gray will frequently refurbish the premises by painting the room
and/or installing ventilation, lighting, plumbing and drainage. These
improvements are designed to create a laundry room which is clean and
convenient, thus encouraging maximum usage of the equipment by the residents
of the property. Mac-Gray generally enters into long-term leases with property
owners which provide, in most cases, for sharing of machine revenue on a
percentage basis. Under the terms of a standard long-term lease, Mac-Gray
leases a room or dedicated area within a multi-housing facility from the
property owner, public housing agency or college or university. Mac-Gray's
installed machine base is diversified across the various types of properties
that it serves as follows:
 
<TABLE>   
     <S>                                                                     <C>
     Apartments, condominiums and co-operatives............................. 74%
     Colleges, universities and schools..................................... 20%
     Public housing.........................................................  3%
     Other..................................................................  3%
</TABLE>    
   
  Mac-Gray operates card and coin-operated laundry rooms in approximately 350
of the more than 1,600 public and private residential institutions in the
North American college and university market. Mac-Gray's strategy has been to
pursue additional college and university accounts both through acquisitions
and through entering into new geographic markets.     
   
  A substantial portion of Mac-Gray's revenue is derived from the operations
of washers and dryers in laundry rooms pursuant to long-term leases with
property owners. The leases provide Mac-Gray with the exclusive right to
operate the laundry room on the premises, typically require Mac-Gray to pay a
percentage of the revenue collected to the lessor as a commission (or rent)
and, in some cases, require advance rental payments. The property owner or
manager is usually responsible for maintaining and cleaning the premises and
for payment of the utilities. Because of Mac-Gray's significant initial
capital investment, Mac-Gray's leases may only be terminated by the customer
prior to their stated expiration date for non-performance by Mac-Gray.     
 
  Service. Mac-Gray delivers, installs, services and collects revenue from the
laundry equipment used in Mac-Gray-operated laundry rooms. Mac-Gray's
maintenance program is intended to limit unnecessary capital expenditures and
extend the useful life of Mac-Gray's laundry equipment, thus realizing optimal
lifetime revenue per machine. Mac-Gray utilizes a three facet program, coupled
with a restoration and redeployment program, to ensure that down time for its
equipment is kept to a minimum, thus maximizing average revenue per machine.
     
    Install High Quality Equipment. Mac-Gray primarily installs equipment
  manufactured by Maytag. Mac-Gray believes that the installation of high
  quality equipment at the outset, coupled with a proper maintenance program,
  results in equipment that operates more efficiently, is used more often and
  maximizes revenue per machine. Mac-Gray also purchases equipment from other
  leading manufacturers, including Whirlpool Corporation ("Whirlpool") and
  General Electric Company, and believes that such manufacturers are willing
  to increase their sales to Mac-Gray. See "Risk Factors-- Dependence Upon
  Certain Suppliers."     
 
    Periodic Preventive Maintenance. Mac-Gray performs scheduled, periodic,
  preventive maintenance on Mac-Gray's equipment at its various leased
  laundry rooms.
 
                                      15
<PAGE>
 
     
    On-Call Service. Mac-Gray employs approximately 100 service technicians
  to both maintain and repair its equipment. These service technicians have
  an average of over seven years experience repairing and maintaining laundry
  equipment. Mac-Gray's Director of Service Training is responsible for
  evaluating and training the service force. Mac-Gray has won the prestigious
  Maytag Red Carpet Service Award twice within the past ten years.     
   
  Collections and Security. Revenues from Mac-Gray's laundry rooms are
collected periodically based upon the historical use at each property. The
collection routes are altered frequently and Mac-Gray utilizes a computerized
coin counting system and various preventive and internal control measures,
including armored car services, to reduce the risks associated with its
business.     
 
  Equipment Refurbishment. Mac-Gray refurbishes some of its laundry equipment
at its Cambridge, Massachusetts headquarters. The refurbishment process
involves removing some machines from active service and restoring or replacing
some of the machine parts. The refurbished machines result in cost savings
which, when coupled with the installation of high quality machines and a
proper maintenance and service program, can result in reduced capital
expenditures and increased profitability for the property owner. Refurbished
machines are either used in locations where the lessor has requested them or
to replace older laundry equipment.
 
TECHNOLOGY
 
  Mac-Gray maintains a significant information technology system to facilitate
its lease monitoring, commission paying and product purchasing activities.
Mac-Gray has recently implemented and/or expanded its use of technologies that
Mac-Gray believes will broaden its existing product and service offerings,
enhance its customer service, improve its financial and operational monitoring
of its lease locations, and facilitate its analysis of the operations of
potential acquisition candidates.
   
  Cashless Transactions. Mac-Gray operates both smart-card and debit-card
based payment systems. Since 1991, Mac-Gray has installed more than 15,500
debit card operated laundry machines in response to customer demand in the

  Mac-Gray has smart card readers in more than 9,000 laundry machines and
intends to accelerate the use of cost-effective smart-card based payment and
access systems. Smart cards are the same size as credit or debit cards, but
contain a small microprocessor chip which is capable of computational
operations, as well as storing data and value for use in cashless
transactions. The stored value feature of smart cards is used with Mac-Gray's
laundry equipment to provide laundry users the convenience and security of
cashless transactions. Mac-Gray has experienced increased usage at existing
facilities which have been equipped with smart card readers. The additional
benefits associated with smart-card based transactions include reduced
administrative burdens and expenditures, reduced vandalism, improved security
and more efficient revenue collections.     
       
          
    Newly Available Technology. The introduction of a new, single unit smart
  card reader for use with laundry equipment has made it cost-effective and
  operationally feasible to convert existing coin-operated machines and to
  install new smart card operated machines. Prior to the availability of this
  technology, each piece of laundry equipment had to be hard-wired to an on-
  line processing system in order to function as a cashless unit. The newly
  available single unit smart card reader eliminates the on-line requirement
  and makes conversions and new installations more cost-effective.     
            
    Pricing Flexibility. By equipping its machines with cashless payment
  technology, Mac-Gray believes that it can go beyond providing a more
  efficient laundry facility. The use of smart card technology will enable
  Mac-Gray to make modest incremental price adjustments over time rather than
  in twenty-five cent increments. In addition, cashless technology will
  enable Mac-Gray to establish variable time pricing

  schedules. For instance, the machines may be programmed to have one set of
  prices during peak hours, one set during normal hours, and another set of
  prices during "off" hours of operation to encourage maximum usage.     
   
  Information Services. Mac-Gray is employing an integrated approach to the
underlying technology required to support its sales and administrative
functions. Mac-Gray provides its sales personnel with laptop computers for use
in communicating with Mac-Gray, accessing pricing and related information and
preparing customer presentations and analyses. Mac-Gray also operates a data
warehousing software system to assist Mac-Gray in its operational and
financial data management. For example, the data warehousing software system
aids Mac-Gray's senior management in analyzing geographic and product line
trends, as well as individual property and regional performance. Mac-Gray can
also use this data warehousing system to seamlessly import operational
information of a laundry service provider that Mac-Gray may be interested in
acquiring.     
       
       
COMPETITION
   
  The card and coin-operated laundry services industry is highly competitive,
capital intensive and requires reliable and prompt service. Mac-Gray believes
that customers consider different factors in selecting a laundry service
provider including customer service, reputation, commission rates (including
advance commissions) and range of products and services. Mac-Gray believes
that different types of customers assign varied weight to each of these
factors and that no one factor materially influences a customer's selection of
a laundry service provider. Within any given geographic area, Mac-Gray may
compete with local independent-operators, regional operators and multi-
regional operators. Although the industry is highly fragmented, Mac-Gray and
several other independent-operators have chosen to grow by acquisitions, as
well as through new machine placement. Mac-Gray believes that it is the third
largest card and coin-operated laundry services provider in North America.
Mac-Gray believes that only Coinmach Laundry Corporation ("Coinmach") and Web
Service Company, Inc. ("Web") maintain larger machine bases than Mac-Gray.
    
LAUNDRY EQUIPMENT SALES, LEASING AND SERVICE
   
  Mac-Gray has been a Maytag distributor since 1927. Mac-Gray has, through
acquisitions of businesses and the cooperation of Maytag, grown its Maytag
distribution and service business to encompass Connecticut, Illinois, Maine,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York (except metropolitan New York City),
western Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont and portions of
Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi and Missouri. To these, the acquisition
of Amerivend will add Alabama, Florida and Georgia. Mac-Gray is currently the
principal or sole distributor of Maytag commercial laundry equipment in each
of its areas. As a distributor, Mac-Gray sells laundry equipment to laundromat
owners, apartment and condominium owners and institutions such as hospitals,
restaurants and elder care facilities. Mac-Gray's retail coin laundromat sales
team is focused on selling replacement equipment to existing coin laundromat
owners, as well as soliciting new customers for its distribution business. The
sales efforts are supported by regional service training seminars held for the
benefit of existing and potential laundromat owners. Mac-Gray also sells
equipment manufactured by American Dryer Corporation ("American Dryer"), The
Dexter Company ("Dexter") and Whirlpool when such equipment better suits a
customer's needs.     
 
  Mac-Gray has also established a leasing program for commercial laundry
customers who choose neither to purchase equipment nor to become a laundry
route customer. This program involves the leasing of commercial laundry
equipment to customers who maintain their own coin-operated laundry rooms, as
well as to customers (such as hotels) who operate their own on-premise laundry
equipment.
       
  Mac-Gray also offers potential owner-operators of independent laundromats
complete design, construction, installation and set-up of turn-key
laundromats. Mac-Gray derives its revenue by selling the equipment to the
owner-operator and through ongoing service contracts with the owner-operator.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
  Mac-Gray is from time to time a party to litigation arising in the ordinary
course of business. There can be no assurance that Mac-Gray's insurance
coverage will be adequate to cover all liabilities resulting from such claims.
In the opinion of management, any liability that Mac-Gray might incur upon the
resolution of this litigation will not, in the aggregate, have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of Mac-
Gray.

(1) The financial data for the year ended December 31, 1997 include the
    results of Sun Services subsequent to the acquisition date of April 17,
    1997.
(2) The 1997 provision for income taxes includes a non-recurring charge of
    $4,037 as a result of the termination of Mac-Gray's S corporation status.
   
(3) Tax adjusted earnings per share data have been adjusted to give effect to
    Mac-Gray's operations as if Mac-Gray were subject to federal and state
    income taxes on a corporate level (at an estimated income tax rate of 40%)
    during the periods presented.     
   
(4) Mac-Gray adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS
    128) in 1997. In conjunction with the adoption of this standard, Mac-Gray
    has complied with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (SAB 98) issued by the
    Commission. Accordingly, earnings per share data have been restated for
    all periods presented. Earnings per share data are reflective of the Mac-
    Gray Combination for all periods presented.     
(5) "EBITDA" is defined herein as income before provision for income taxes,
    plus depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense. EBITDA
    should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of
    operating results or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of
    liquidity and it is not a measure of performance or financial condition
    under generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA is presented
    because Mac-Gray's management believes that certain investors may find it
    to be a useful tool for measuring Mac-Gray's ability to meet its future
    debt service obligations, make capital expenditures and satisfy working
    capital requirements.
(6) Shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock issued in connection with the Sun Services
    Acquisition are redeemable pursuant to a contractual arrangement.
   
(7) In March 1998 Mac-Gray consummated its acquisition of Intirion in a
    transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. As Mac-Gray and
    Intirion had differing year ends, financial information for dissimilar
    periods have been combined in the consolidated financial statements (see
    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Actual results presented for
    the quarter ended March 31, 1997 were calculated by combining the
    historical first quarters of each entity (March 31, 1997 for Mac-Gray and
    September 30, 1996). Pro forma consolidated revenue, income from
    operations, and net income calculated by combining the March 31, 1997
    periods for both entities amounted to $22,658, $2,618, and $1,800,
    respectively.

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF     
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
   
  This Prospectus contains, in addition to historical information, forward-
looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Mac-Gray's actual
results could differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-
looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences
include: implementation of acquisition strategy; integration of acquired
businesses; ability to meet future capital requirements; dependence upon
certain suppliers, lease renewals; retention of senior executives; market
acceptance of new products and services; and those factors discussed in Mac-
Gray's filings with the Commission. The historical financial information
presented herein represents (i) consolidated results of Mac-Gray, including
the consolidated results of Intirion, (ii) the combined results of Mac-Gray
Co. and the Limited Partnership and (iii) the combined results of Sun Services
for the period subsequent to the Sun Services Acquisition. The following
discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the combined
financial statements and related notes thereto presented elsewhere in this
Prospectus.     
 
OVERVIEW
   
  Mac-Gray derives its revenue principally through the operation and
maintenance of card and coin-operated laundry rooms in multiple housing
facilities, such as apartment buildings, colleges and universities,
condominiums and public housing complexes. Mac-Gray operates its laundry rooms
under long-term leases with property owners, colleges and universities and
governmental agencies. The leases typically grant Mac-Gray the exclusive right
to operate laundry rooms on the lessor's premises for a fixed term, which is
generally seven to ten years, in exchange for a percentage of the revenue
collected. Mac-Gray's laundry route business consists of more than 150,000
laundry machines, operated in over 25,000 multiple housing laundry rooms
located in 27 states east of the Rocky Mountains.     
 
  Mac-Gray also derives revenue as a distributor and servicer of commercial
laundry equipment manufactured by Maytag. Mac-Gray has Maytag distributor
agreements for Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New
York (except metropolitan New York City), western Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
South Carolina, Vermont and portions of Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi
and Missouri. Mac-Gray also sells or rents laundry equipment manufactured by
American Dryer, Dexter and Whirlpool to provide several alternatives in
machine type, cost and capacity. Additionally, Mac-Gray sells or rents laundry
equipment to restaurants, hotels, health clubs and similar institutional users
that operate their own on-premise laundry facilities.
          
  On October 22, 1997, Mac-Gray completed its initial public offering (the
"IPO"). Upon consummation of the IPO, Mac-Gray's status as an S corporation
automatically terminated and Mac-Gray became subject to taxation as a C
corporation for federal and state income tax purposes.     
   
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS     
   
  New Credit Facility. On April 23, 1998, the outstanding debt under Mac-
Gray's $50 million revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust
Company and CoreStates Bank was refinanced under a new senior secured
revolving and term loan credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust
Company, CoreStates Bank and BankBoston, N.A. The Credit Facility provides for
borrowings under a revolving line of credit of up to $90 million and converts
to a term loan after three years. Outstanding indebtedness under the Credit
Facility bears interest at Mac-Gray's option, at a rate equal to the prime
rate minus .5% or LIBOR plus the applicable margin (either (i) 1.5% for loans
outstanding which aggregate less than $50 million or (ii) 1.75% for loans
outstanding which exceed $50 million), or cost of funds plus the applicable
margin. The Credit Facility restricts payments of dividends and other
distributions, restricts Mac-Gray from making certain acquisitions and
incurring indebtedness, and requires it to maintain certain financial ratios.
The Credit Facility is secured by pledges of the capital stock of Mac-Gray's
subsidiaries and a lien on Mac-Gray's assets.     
   
  Acquisitions. On April 24, 1998, Mac-Gray acquired through Mac-Gray
Services, Inc. one hundred percent of the outstanding capital stock of
Amerivend. The acquisition was completed pursuant to the Amerivend     
 
                                      21

Agreement. The purchase price was approximately $33.3 million in cash,
including the payment of approximately $6.8 million of debt. A portion of the
purchase price, $1.5 million, is being held in escrow to satisfy any potential
claims in accordance with the Amerivend Agreement. The funds used to pay the
purchase price were comprised primarily of borrowings under the Credit
Facility. Amerivend is a provider of card and coin-operated laundry equipment
in Florida and Georgia. Amerivend also is the principal distributor of Maytag
commercial laundry products in Alabama, Florida and Georgia.     
   
  On April 23, 1998, Mac-Gray acquired Copico through the purchase by Mac-Gray
Services, Inc. of one hundred percent of the outstanding capital stock of
Copico. The acquisition was completed pursuant to the Copico Agreement. In
consideration and pursuant to the Copico Agreement, Mac-Gray issued 250,000
shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock valued at approximately $4.2 million based
upon the closing price of the Mac-Gray Common Stock on April 23, 1998. The
cash portion of the purchase price was approximately $11.1 million, including
the payment of approximately $6.1 million of debt. The funds used to pay the
cash portion of the consideration were comprised primarily of borrowings under
the Credit Facility. Copico is a major provider of card and coin-operated
reprographics equipment and services to the academic and public library
markets in New England, New York and Florida. Copico provides and services
copiers, laser printers and microform reader-printers for libraries of
colleges, universities and graduate schools. Copico also is the sole provider
of reprographics services to the New York public library system, as well as
other public libraries. The Amerivend and Copico acquisitions have been
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.     
       
          
  On March 12, 1998, Mac-Gray acquired Intirion. The consideration paid
consisted of 1,592,992 shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock and approximately $1
million in cash, which cash was paid to the holder of the Intirion Senior
Preferred Stock. Intirion is a supplier of combination
refrigerator/freezer/microwave ovens to multiple housing facilities such as
colleges and universities, military bases, economy hotels and motels and
assisted living facilities. The transaction has been accounted for as a
pooling of interests. Mac-Gray and Intirion incurred aggregate transaction
costs of $884,000 associated with the Merger, primarily in the first quarter
of 1998.     
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
   
  Three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to three months ended March 31,
1997 and pro forma three months ended March 31, 1997     
          
  In 1998, Mac-Gray consummated its acquisition of Intirion in a transaction
accounted for as a pooling of interests. Due to the differing year ends of
Mac-Gray and Intirion, the three months ended March 31, 1997 represents
consolidated results for the period from January 1997 through March 1997 for
Mac-Gray consolidated with the three-month period from July 1996 through
September 1996 for Intirion. The three months ended March 31, 1998 represents
consolidated results for the period from January 1998 through March 1998 for
both Mac-Gray and Intirion. The pro forma three months ended March 31, 1997,
summarized below, represents consolidated results for the period from January
1997 through March 1997 for both Mac-Gray and Intirion.

  Revenue. Revenue increased by $752,000, or 3%, to $27,989,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 from $27,237,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1997. Revenue increased by $5,331,000, or 24%, from $22,658,000 for the
pro forma three months ended March 31, 1997. Route revenue increased
$3,837,000, due to the expansion of existing operations and the additional
revenues from the laundry route businesses acquired during 1997. Product sales
decreased by $3,976,000, from the three months ended March 31, 1997 to the
three months ended March 31, 1998. This decrease was a result of the
comparison of dissimilar periods for 1997 and 1998, since Intirion
historically experiences stronger product sales to the college and university
market during the period from July to September than during January through
March. Product sales from the pro forma three months ended March 31, 1997 to
the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased by $1,266,000. This increase
was primarily due to the increase in existing business, as a result of
increased sales and marketing efforts, and from sales by the businesses
acquired during 1997. Rental revenue increased by $891,000 to $1,568,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 from the three months ended March 31,
1997, and by $228,000 from the pro forma three months ended March 31, 1997.
    
          
  Commissions. Commissions increased by $1,898,000, or 26%, to $9,154,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $7,256,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase
in laundry route revenue, since commissions are generally paid based upon a
percentage of revenue earned in Mac-Gray's laundry rooms.     
   
  Route Expenditures. Route expenditures, which are primarily variable
expenses which change with the increases and decreases in revenue and include
costs associated with installing and servicing machines, as well as the costs
of collecting, counting and depositing the revenue, increased by $386,000, or
12%, to $3,632,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $3,246,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1997, and by $656,000 or 22% for the pro
forma three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase was due to the general
increase in revenue, which resulted in increased servicing, collecting,
counting and depositing activity, and to the addition of branch locations as a
result of acquisitions. The costs for the three months ended March 31, 1997
were higher than the costs for the pro forma three months ended March 31, 1997
due to the historically higher costs incurred by Intirion during the period
from July through September for the rental program to the college and
university market.     
   
  Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization includes
depreciation and amortization included as a component of cost of revenue, as
well as depreciation which is included as an operating expense. Aggregate
depreciation and amortization increased by 46%, to $3,005,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 from $2,052,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1997, and by $756,000 from the pro forma three months ended March 31,
1997. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of
businesses during 1997, which resulted in additional machines to depreciate,
as well as an increase in intangible assets to amortize, and the placement of
additional machines at Mac-Gray's existing locations.     
   
  Cost of Product Sales.  Cost of product sales decreased by $2,616,000, or
36%, to $4,666,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $7,282,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1997, and increased by $890,000 from the
pro forma three months ended March 31, 1997. These changes correspond to the
changes in product sales revenue.     
   
  General and Administration. General and administration expenses increased by
$97,000, or 6%, to $1,798,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from
$1,701,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, and by $151,000 from the
pro forma three months ended March 31, 1997. These changes resulted from
increased professional fees incurred by Mac-Gray, and the addition of
administrative personnel at both Mac-Gray and Intirion to handle the business
growth.     
   
  Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expense decreased by $113,000, or
4%, to $2,409,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $2,522,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1997. This decrease resulted from the
significant temporary increase in Intirion's sales and marketing personnel
necessary to handle the strong sales to the college and university market
during July through September. Sales and marketing expense     
 
                                      23
<PAGE>
 
   
increased by $273,000 from the pro forma three months ended March 31, 1997 to
the three months ended March 31, 1998. The increase was attributable to the
expansion of the marketing department and an increase in the number of field
sales representatives.     
   
  Merger-Related Costs. One-time, non-recurring costs associated with the
acquisition of Intirion, which was accounted for as a pooling transaction,
totaled $884,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1998.     
   
  Interest Expense. Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased by
$374,000, or 54%, to $315,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from
$689,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, and by $333,000 from the
pro forma three months ended March 31, 1997. A portion of the net proceeds
received from the IPO were used to reduce existing indebtedness of Mac-Gray
under the Old Credit Facility and resulted in reduced interest expense for the
first quarter of 1998.     
   
  Income Tax Expenses. Income tax expense increased by $976,000, to $1,154,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from $178,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 and by $988,000 from the pro forma three months ended
March 31, 1997 due to the termination of Mac-Gray's S corporation status
concurrent with the IPO. Upon termination of the S corporation status, Mac-
Gray became subject to federal and state income taxes, with a statutory rate
of approximately 40%. As the historical income tax provision for Mac-Gray
prior to the termination of the S corporation status was established only to
provide for income taxes in states that do not recognize Subchapter S
corporations, the income tax provision recorded in the first quarter of 1998
was significantly higher than the amount recorded in the corresponding period
in 1997. The effective tax rate of 54% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998
exceeded the statutory rate primarily as a result of certain merger-related
costs which are not deductible for tax purposes.     
       
       
 Fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 compared to fiscal year ended December
31, 1996
   
  Revenue. Revenue increased by $22,587,000, or 27%, to $104,847,000 in 1997
from $82,260,000 in 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to growth
in existing laundry route revenue, the Sun Services Acquisition and the impact
of a full year's operation of businesses acquired in 1996. Laundry route
revenue increased $12,826,000, due to the expansion of existing operations and
to an increase in the number of machines operated as a result of the nine
acquisitions of laundry route businesses subsequent to March 31, 1996. Product
sales increased by $9,115,000, due to growth of revenue from existing
distributorships and the distributorships acquired during 1996 and 1997 and
due to increased sales of Microfridge(R) products to all market segments. Mac-
Gray believes that its increased focus on sales and marketing efforts since
mid-1996 has had a significant impact on the growth of revenue from existing
laundry routes and distributorships. Rental revenue also increased $646,000
due to Intirion's academic living rental program.     
 
  Commissions. Commissions increased by $5,957,000, or 23%, to $31,717,000 in
1997 from $25,760,000 in 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to an
increase in laundry route revenue, since commissions are generally paid based
upon a percentage of laundry route revenue.
   
  Route Expenditures. Route expenditures, which are primarily variable
expenses which change with the increases and decreases in revenue and include
costs associated with installing and servicing machines, as well as the costs
of collecting, counting and depositing the revenue, increased by $1,478,000,
or 13%, to $12,449,000 in 1997 from $10,971,000 in 1996. This increase was due
to the general increase in revenue, which resulted in increased servicing,
collecting, counting and depositing activity, increased levels of expenses
associated with improving service in some of the acquired businesses, and
other associated costs.     
   
  Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization includes
depreciation and amortization included as a component of cost of revenue, as
well as depreciation which is included as an operating expense. Aggregate
depreciation and amortization increased by $2,635,000, or 34%, to $10,478,000
in 1997 from $7,843,000 in 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to
the acquisition of nine laundry route businesses in 1996 and 1997, which
resulted in additional machines to depreciate, as well as an increase in
intangible assets to amortize, and the placement of additional machines at
existing locations.     
 
                                      24
<PAGE>
 
   
  Cost of Product Sales. Cost of product sales increased by $6,613,000, or
43%, to $22,021,000 in 1997 from $15,408,000 in 1996. This increase was a
direct result of increased product sales.     
   
  General and Administration. General and administration expenses increased by
$984,000, or 17%, to $6,923,000 in 1997 from $5,939,000 in 1996. This increase
was attributable to an increase in professional fees and to the hiring of
additional clerical and administrative staff to support the growth in Mac-
Gray's business.     
   
  Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expense increased by $2,463,000, or
32%, to $10,181,000 in 1997 from $7,718,000 in 1996. This increase was
attributable to the expansion of the marketing department, led by the hiring
of an experienced national marketing executive in the third quarter of 1996,
and an increase in the number of field sales representatives.     
   
  Interest Expense. Interest expense, net of interest income, increased by
$621,000, or 26%, to $2,975,000 in 1997 from $2,354,000 in 1996. This increase
was primarily attributable to the increased borrowings incurred to finance the
acquisitions made during 1996 and 1997 and to the increase in product
purchases. Interest expense was minimal subsequent to the IPO because a
portion of the net proceeds from that offering was used to repay the existing
indebtedness under the Old Credit Facility, as further described below.     
   
  Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased by $4,714,000 to $5,228,000
in 1997 from $514,000 in 1996 due to the termination of Mac-Gray's S
corporation status concurrent with the IPO. Upon termination of the S
corporation status, Mac-Gray became subject to federal and state income taxes,
with a statutory rate of approximately 40%. As a result, Mac-Gray recognized a
non-recurring charge to income tax expense of approximately $4,037,000 in
October 1997, representing additional net deferred tax liabilities as of the
date the S corporation election was terminated. As the historical income tax
provision for Mac-Gray prior to the termination of the S corporation status
was established only to provide for income taxes in states that do not
recognize Subchapter S corporations, the income tax provision recorded in 1997
was significantly higher than the amount recorded in 1996.     
 
 Fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 compared to fiscal year ended December
31, 1995.
   
  Revenue. Revenue increased by $15,908,000, or 24%, to $82,260,000 in 1996
from $66,352,000 in 1995. This increase was primarily attributable to the
acquisition of six laundry route businesses, two of which also maintained
Maytag distributorships, as well as internal growth of both card and coin
laundry route revenue and revenue from product sales. Laundry route revenue
increased $9,506,000, of which $3,596,000 was attributable to the expansion of
existing operations and $5,910,000 was attributable to an increase in the
number of machines operated as a result of the six acquisitions of laundry
route businesses. Product sales increased by $5,674,000 due to acquisitions
and growth of existing businesses. Mac-Gray believes that a substantial
portion of the growth of revenue from existing laundry routes and from
existing distributorships was attributable to Mac-Gray's increased
expenditures on sales and marketing efforts, which are described below. Rental
revenue also increased $728,000 due to Intirion's academic living rental
program.     
 
  Commissions. Commissions increased by $5,289,000, or 26%, to $25,760,000 in
1996 from $20,471,000 in 1995. This increase was primarily attributable to an
increase in laundry route revenue, which resulted in an increase in variable
expenses, including commissions, related thereto, as well as slightly higher
commission rates applicable to the new leases that Mac-Gray acquired or
entered into during 1995 and 1996.
   
  Route Expenditures. Route expenditures, which include costs associated with
installing and servicing machines and cost of equipment sales, as well as the
cost of collecting, counting and depositing the revenue, increased by
$2,720,000, or 33%, to $10,971,000 in 1996 from $8,251,000 in 1995. This
increase was primarily attributable to the increase in laundry route business,
which resulted in increased servicing and collecting activity.     
   
  Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization includes
depreciation and amortization which is included as a component of cost of
revenue, as well as depreciation which is included as an operating expense.
Aggregate depreciation and amortization increased by $1,749,000, or 29%, to
$7,843,000 in 1996 from     
 
                                      25
<PAGE>
 
   
$6,094,000 in 1995. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition
of six laundry route businesses, which resulted in additional machines to
depreciate, as well as an increase in intangible assets to amortize, and the
placement of additional machines at existing locations.     
   
  Cost of Product Sales. Cost of product sales increased by $3,174,000, or
26%, to $15,408,000 in 1996 from $12,234,000 in 1995. This increase was
attributable to increased product sales.     
   
  General and Administration. General and administration expenses increased by
$135,000, or 2%, to $5,939,000 in 1996 from $5,804,000 in 1995. This increase
was attributable to the hiring of additional clerical and administrative staff
to help support the increase in Mac-Gray's business. General and
administration expenses for 1995 were unusually high as a result of certain
expenses related to the hiring, relocation and subsequent termination of a
senior executive.     
   
  Sales and Marketing. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $1,263,000,
or 20%, to $7,718,000 in 1996 from $6,455,000 in 1995. This increase was
attributable to the hiring of a significant number of additional field sales
representatives, the expansion of the marketing department and the hiring of
an experienced national marketing executive in the third quarter of 1996.     
   
  Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $1,026,000, or 77%, to
$2,354,000 in 1996 from $1,328,000 in 1995. This increase was primarily
attributable to increased borrowings incurred to finance the six acquisitions
completed during 1996 and the increase in product purchases to support the
increase in revenues.     
   
  Income Tax Expense. Income tax expenses increased by $114,000, or 29%, to
$514,000 in 1996 from $400,000 in 1995. As the historical income tax provision
for Mac-Gray was established only to provide for income taxes in states that
do not recognize Subchapter S corporations, the statutory income tax rate for
1995 and 1996 was 6%. The effective income tax rate differed from the
statutory rate in 1995 and 1996 due to expenses recorded for book purposes
that are not deductible for income tax purposes.     
 
  The statutory income tax rate utilized by Mac-Gray during 1995 and 1996 is
not indicative of the statutory income tax rate of approximately 40% that has
been utilized since termination of Mac-Gray's S corporation status on October
16, 1997.
 
SEASONALITY
   
  Mac-Gray experiences moderate seasonality as a result of its significant
operations in the college and university market. Revenues derived from the
college and university market represent approximately thirty-five percent
(35%) of Mac-Gray's total revenue. Route and rental revenues are derived
substantially during the school year which includes the first, second and
fourth calendar quarters. Conversely, Mac-Gray increases its operating
expenditures during the third calendar quarter when colleges and universities
are not in session as a result of Mac-Gray's increased product installation
activities. Product sales to this market are also high during the third
calendar quarter.     
       
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
          
  Mac-Gray's primary sources of cash have been operating activities, bank
borrowings, and the proceeds of the IPO. Mac-Gray's primary uses of cash have
been acquisitions, capital expenses including the purchase of new laundry
machines, Microfridge(R) equipment and smart card based payment systems, the
payment of a dividend of $9,000,000 to Mac-Gray's shareholders prior to the
IPO and the repayment of the Old Credit Facility. Mac-Gray anticipates that it
will continue to use cash flow from its operating activities to finance
working capital needs, including interest payments on any outstanding
indebtedness, as well as capital expenditures. Funds available under the
Credit Facility were used as needed to finance the recent acquisitions of
Amerivend and Copico. Mac-Gray also anticipates that it will use additional
funds available to it under the Credit Facility to finance additional possible
acquisitions, larger capital expenditures and, as needed, working capital.

  Cash flows (used in) provided by operations were ($1,089,000) and $2,501,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and
$10,473,000, $15,768,000 and $10,364,000 for the years ended December 31,
1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Cash flow from operations consists
primarily of laundry route revenue, product sales, laundry equipment service
revenue, and rental revenue, commissions, route expenditures, cost of product
sales, cost of rental revenue, general and administration expenses and sales
and marketing expenses. Mac-Gray also incurred costs as a result of the Mac-
Gray and Intirion pooling transaction.     
   
  Cash used in investing activities was $3,048,000 and $3,698,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and $22,791,000,
$24,338,000 and $8,952,000 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and
1995, respectively. Mac-Gray invested $1,223,000 in connection with the
Intirion acquisition and a small route acquisition during the three months
ended March 31, 1998 and $12,196,000, $14,487,000 and $1,178,000 for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, in
connection with the acquisitions consummated during those years. Capital
expenditures were $2,253,000 and $4,231,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and $11,584,000, $10,010,000 and $8,121,000
for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.     
   
  Net cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities were $4,698,000
and $1,631,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, and $13,248,000, $7,516,000 and ($589,000) for the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Financing activities for those
periods consist primarily of proceeds from the IPO, proceeds from and
repayments of bank borrowings, capital stock transactions, and payments of
dividends. Mac-Gray also utilized $125,000 as a portion of the consideration
paid in connection with the redemption of 2,275 shares of Mac-Gray Common
Stock as of January 1, 1996.     
   
  Until April 23, 1998, Mac-Gray maintained a $50 million revolving line of
credit with State Street Bank and Trust Company and CoreStates Bank. Mac-Gray
was in material compliance with all covenants of that facility, or received a
written waiver with respect to any non-compliance therewith, for the three
months ended March 31, 1998. On April 23, 1998, Mac-Gray refinanced the
amounts outstanding under the Old Credit Facility with the proceeds of a new
revolving line of credit and term loan facility with State Street Bank and
Trust Company, CoreStates Bank and BankBoston, N.A. The Credit Facility
provides for borrowings under a revolving line of credit of up to $90 million,
and converts to a term loan after three years. The term loan has a weighted
five year amortization schedule with a balloon payment due after the second
year of the term loan. Outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility
bears interest at Mac-Gray's option at a rate equal to the prime rate minus
 .5% or LIBOR plus the applicable margin (either (i) 1.5% for loans outstanding
which aggregate less than $50 million or (ii) 1.75% for loans outstanding
which exceed $50 million) or the cost of funds rate plus the applicable
margin. The Credit Facility imposes certain financial and operational
covenants on Mac-Gray, including restrictions on indebtedness, certain capital
expenditures, investments and acquisitions, and on Mac-Gray's ability to pay
dividends and to make distributions. The Credit Facility is secured by a
blanket lien on the assets of Mac-Gray and each of its subsidiaries, as well
as a pledge by Mac-Gray of all of the capital stock of its subsidiaries.     
       
       
       
          
  In connection with the Sun Services Acquisition in April 1997, Mac-Gray
issued 612,026 shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock to the owner of Sun Services.
As a privately owned company issuing shares of its common stock, which, at
that point, were substantially illiquid, Mac-Gray provided the Sun Services
owner with the right to require Mac-Gray to repurchase the shares of Mac-Gray
Common Stock issued by Mac-Gray as consideration in the acquisition. Mac-Gray
also received certain rights ( the "Call Rights") to repurchase such shares of
Mac-Gray Common Stock. Upon consummation of the IPO, the Call Rights
terminated. Mac-Gray remains obligated to repurchase the 612,026 shares of
Mac-Gray Common Stock at a price of $12.74 per share in the event the holder
or holders of such shares elect to exercise the Put Rights, representing an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $7.8 million. Such remaining Put
Rights expire on October 22, 2000. In the event such Put Rights are exercised,
Mac-Gray would likely fund the purchase price for such shares of Mac-Gray
Common Stock by incurring additional indebtedness under its Credit Facility.

  Mac-Gray has used all of the net proceeds from the IPO to repay existing
outstanding indebtedness under the Old Credit Facility, to fund a $9,000,000
dividend paid to shareholders in October 1997 and to provide partial funding
for two laundry route acquisitions. The cash paid in connection with the
acquisitions of Intirion, Amerivend and Copico, including expenses related
thereto, has been or will be paid from amounts available under the Old Credit
Facility, the Credit Facility and cash flow generated from operating
activities. Mac-Gray believes that amounts available under the Credit Facility
and cash flow generated by operations will be sufficient to fund Mac-Gray's
normal working capital needs and capital expenditures for the foreseeable
future, including Mac-Gray's current purchase commitment with Schlumberger to
purchase smart-card based equipment. Based upon the purchase commitment with
Schlumberger, such purchases, in the aggregate, could represent a material
portion of Mac-Gray's capital expenditures for fiscal year 1998. In addition,
if Mac-Gray were to borrow all amounts then available to it under the Credit
Facility in connection with one or more acquisitions, or in connection with
significant capital expenditures, either in the short-term or in the long-
term, management believes that cash generated from operating activities would
be sufficient to fund Mac-Gray's operating expenses and debt service needs for
the foreseeable future. Additional financing under the Credit Facility or
otherwise may, however, be required in connection with an acquisition or
acquisitions which Mac-Gray may consummate in the future. If any such
additional financing were needed, and could not be obtained on terms favorable
to Mac-Gray, if at all, Mac-Gray's ongoing capital improvement efforts and
acquisition activity would likely be reduced or delayed as cash generated from
operating activities was used for operating expenses and debt service. See
"Risk Factors--Risks Associated with Acquisitions; Integration of Acquired
Businesses."     
 
INFLATION
 
  Mac-Gray does not believe that its financial performance has been materially
affected by inflation.
 
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
   
  The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS 131) which is required to be adopted
by Mac-Gray in its fiscal 1998 financial statements. SFAS 131 establishes
standards for reporting information on operating segments in financial
statements. Mac-Gray is currently reviewing the impact of SFAS 131 on its
financial statements.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
  The business of Mac-Gray is managed under the direction of the Mac-Gray
Board and the number of directors of Mac-Gray is currently fixed at six. The
Mac-Gray Charter provides that the Mac-Gray Board shall be divided into three
classes. The members of each class of directors serve for staggered three-year
terms. The Mac-Gray Board is composed of two Class I Directors (Messrs.
Flanagan and Leydon), two Class II Directors (Messrs. Huenink and Schiller)
and two Class III Directors (Messrs. MacDonald and Doggett), whose initial
terms will expire upon the election and qualification of directors at the
annual meetings of stockholders held following the fiscal years ending
December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively. At each annual meeting of
stockholders, directors will be re-elected or elected for a full term of three
years to succeed those directors whose terms are expiring.
   
  The Mac-Gray Board has established an Audit Committee (the "Audit
Committee") and a Compensation Committee (the "Compensation Committee"). The
Audit Committee recommends to the Mac-Gray Board the firm to be appointed as
independent accountants to audit financial statements and to perform services
related to the audit, reviews the scope and results of the audit with the
independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent
accountants Mac-Gray's year-end operating results, considers the adequacy of
the internal accounting procedures and considers the effect of such procedures
on the accountants' independence. The Audit Committee consists of Messrs.
Leydon and Schiller. The Compensation Committee, which consists of Messrs.
MacDonald, Leydon and Schiller, reviews and recommends to the Mac-Gray Board
the compensation arrangements for all directors and officers other than Mr.
MacDonald, whose compensation arrangements are reviewed and recommended by
Messrs. Leydon and Schiller, approves such arrangements for other senior level
employees and administers and takes such other action as may be required in
connection with certain compensation and incentive plans of Mac-Gray. The
Compensation Committee also determines the number of options to be granted or
shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock to be issued to eligible persons under Mac-
Gray's 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "1997 Stock Plan") and
prescribes the terms and provisions of each     
 
                                      30
<PAGE>
 
   
grant made under the 1997 Stock Plan other than with respect to the
eligibility of Mr. MacDonald, as to whom the full Mac-Gray Board makes such
determinations. In addition, the Compensation Committee construes and
interprets the 1997 Stock Plan and issuances thereunder, and establishes,
amends and revokes rules and regulations for administration of the 1997 Stock
Plan. The Mac-Gray Board does not have a nominating committee.     
 
  Members of the Mac-Gray Board who are also employees of Mac-Gray do not
receive compensation for their services on the Mac-Gray Board or any committee
thereof. Each director who is not an employee of Mac-Gray (an "Independent
Director") receives an annual fee of $12,000 and an additional fee of $500 per
meeting of the Mac-Gray Board. In addition, upon consummation of the IPO, each
Independent Director was granted an option to purchase 1,000 shares of Mac-
Gray Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of Mac-
Gray Common Stock. Under the 1997 Stock Plan, each new Independent Director is
also entitled to receive an initial grant of an option to purchase 1,000
shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock upon his or her election to the Mac-Gray
Board, and each Independent Director who is serving as a director of Mac-Gray
on the fifth business day after each annual meeting of stockholders, beginning
with the 1998 annual meeting, will automatically be granted an option to
purchase 1,000 shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock. All options granted to
Independent Directors under the 1997 Stock Plan shall be exercisable
immediately and shall terminate upon the tenth anniversary of the date of
grant. See "--1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan--Stock Options Granted to
Independent Directors."
 
  All members of the Mac-Gray Board are reimbursed for travel expenses
incurred in attending meetings of the Mac-Gray Board and its committees.

(1) Each option agreement with respect to one or more shares of Mac-Gray
    Common Stock provides that such option will vest and become exercisable
    with respect to twenty percent (20%) of the shares of Mac-Gray Common
    Stock to which such option agreement relates on each of August 14, 1998,
    1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002.
(2) All options were granted at fair market value as determined by the Mac-
    Gray Board on the date of grant. See "--1997 Stock Option and Incentive
    Plan--Stock Options."
(3) This column shows the hypothetical gain or option spreads of the options
    granted based on assumed annual compound stock appreciation rates of 5%
    and 10% over the full 10-year term of the options. The gains shown are net
    of the option exercise price, but do not include deductions for taxes or
    other expenses associated with the exercise. The 5% and 10% assumed rates
    of appreciation are mandated by the rules of the Commission and do not
    represent Mac-Gray's estimate or projection of future Mac-Gray Common
    Stock prices. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises will depend
    on the future performance of the Mac-Gray Common Stock, the optionholders'
    continued employment through the option period and the date on which the
    options are exercised.
   
  Option Exercises and Holdings. The following table sets forth information
concerning the number and value of unexercised options to purchase shares of
Mac-Gray Common Stock held by the Chief Executive Officer and the other Named
Executive Officers who held such options at December 31, 1997. None of the

1997 STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN
 
  In December 1996, the Mac-Gray Board adopted, and the Mac-Gray stockholders
approved, the Mac-Gray Co., Inc. 1996 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the
"Predecessor Plan"). On April 7, 1997, the Mac-Gray Board adopted and Mac-
Gray's stockholders approved the 1997 Stock Plan, which replaced the
Predecessor Plan and is designed and intended as a performance incentive for
officers, employees, consultants and Independent Directors to promote the
financial success and progress of Mac-Gray. Mac-Gray anticipates that
providing such persons with a direct stake in Mac-Gray's welfare will assure a
closer identification of their interests with those of Mac-Gray, thereby
stimulating their efforts on Mac-Gray's behalf and strengthening their desire
to remain with Mac-Gray. All officers, employees and Independent Directors are
eligible to participate in the 1997 Stock Plan.
   
  The 1997 Stock Plan provides for the issuance of up to the greater of (i)
750,000 shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock or (ii) ten percent of the then
outstanding shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock. As of the date of this
Prospectus, Mac-Gray has reserved 1,342,411 shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock
for issuance under the 1997 Stock Plan, of which 809,290 shares are subject to
outstanding options and 533,121 remain available for issuance. Pursuant to
Section 162(m) of the Code, options with respect to no more than 150,000
shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock may be granted to any one individual in any
calendar year.     
   
  On December 30, 1996, Mac-Gray Co. granted to Messrs. MacDonald, MacLellan,
Olbrych and Flanagan, as well as certain other employees of Mac-Gray, options
to purchase 148,700, 81,800, 81,800 and 74,350 shares, respectively, of Mac-
Gray Common Stock (the "1996 Options") pursuant to the Predecessor Plan. The
1996 Options were subsequently assumed by Mac-Gray under the 1997 Stock Plan,
and the Predecessor Plan was terminated. On August 14, 1997, Mac-Gray granted
to Messrs. MacDonald, MacLellan, Olbrych and Flanagan, as well as certain
other employees of Mac-Gray, options to purchase 14,870, 8,180, 8,180 and
7,435 shares, respectively, of Mac-Gray Common Stock (the "1997 Options")
pursuant to the 1997 Stock Plan. The vesting schedule of the 1996 Options and
the 1997 Options provide that an additional twenty percent (20%) of such
options are exercisable on each of the first through fifth anniversaries of
the date of grant of such options. Accordingly, twenty percent (20%) of the
1996 Options and none of the 1997 Options, which have exercise prices of $8.80
and $9.25 per share, respectively, are currently exercisable. The exercise
prices of $8.80 and $9.25 per share were determined by the Mac-Gray Board to
be the fair market value of the shares underlying such options on the
respective dates of grant.     
 
  The following summary description does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by the 1997 Stock Plan.
 
  Plan Administration; Eligibility. The 1997 Stock Plan is administered by the
Mac-Gray Board or the Compensation Committee. All members of the Compensation
Committee must be "disinterested persons" as that term is defined under the
rules promulgated by the Commission and "outside directors" as defined in
Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
 
  The Compensation Committee has full power to select, from among the
employees and other persons eligible for awards, the individuals to whom
awards will be granted, to make any combination of awards to participants, and
to determine the specific terms and conditions of each award, subject to the
provisions of the 1997 Stock Plan. The Compensation Committee may permit Mac-
Gray Common Stock, and other amounts payable pursuant to an award, to be
deferred. In such instances, the Compensation Committee may permit dividend or
deemed dividends to be credited to the amount of deferrals.
 
  Persons eligible to participate in the 1997 Stock Plan will be those
officers, employees and other key persons, such as consultants, of Mac-Gray
and its subsidiaries who are responsible for or contribute to the management,
growth or profitability of Mac-Gray and its subsidiaries, as selected from
time to time by the Compensation Committee. Independent Directors will also be
eligible for certain awards under the 1997 Stock Plan.
 
 
                                      33

  Stock Options. The 1997 Stock Plan permits the granting of (i) options to
purchase Mac-Gray Common Stock intended to qualify as incentive stock options
under Section 422 of the Code ("Incentive Options") and (ii) options that do
not so qualify ("Non-Qualified Options"). Only employees of Mac-Gray and its
subsidiaries may be granted Incentive Options. The option exercise price of
each option will be determined by the Compensation Committee but may not be
less than 100% of the fair market value of the Mac-Gray Common Stock on the
date of grant in the case of Incentive Options, and may not be less than 85%
of the fair market value of the Mac-Gray Common Stock on the date of grant in
the case of Non-Qualified Options. Employees participating in the 1997 Stock
Plan may, however, elect, with the consent of the Compensation Committee, to
receive discounted Non-Qualified Options in lieu of cash bonuses. In the case
of such grants, the option exercise price must be at least 50% of the fair
market value of the Mac-Gray Common Stock on the date of grant.
 
  The term of each option will be fixed by the Compensation Committee and may
not exceed ten years from the date of grant in the case of an Incentive
Option. The Compensation Committee will determine at what time or times each
option may be exercised and, subject to the provisions of the 1997 Stock Plan,
the period of time, if any, after retirement, death, disability or termination
of employment during which options may be exercised. Options may be made
exercisable in installments, and the exercisability of options may be
accelerated by the Compensation Committee.
 
  Upon exercise of options, the option exercise price must be paid in full
either in cash or by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to
the Compensation Committee or, if the Compensation Committee so permits, by
delivery of shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock already owned by the optionee. The
exercise price may also be delivered to Mac-Gray by a broker pursuant to
irrevocable instructions to the broker from the optionee.
 
  At the discretion of the Compensation Committee, stock options granted under
the 1997 Stock Plan may include a "re-load" feature pursuant to which an
optionee exercising an option by the delivery of shares of Mac-Gray Common
Stock would automatically be granted an additional stock option (with an
exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Mac-Gray Common Stock on
the date the additional stock option is granted) to purchase that number of
shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock equal to the number delivered to exercise the
original stock option. One of the purposes of this feature is to enable
participants to maintain an equity interest in Mac-Gray without dilution.
 
  To qualify as Incentive Options, options must meet additional federal tax
requirements, including limits on the value of shares subject to Incentive
Options which first become exercisable in any one calendar year, and a shorter
term and higher minimum exercise price in the case of certain large
stockholders.
 
  Stock Options Granted to Independent Directors. Pursuant to the 1997 Stock
Plan, upon the consummation of the IPO, each Independent Director was
automatically granted a Non-Qualified Option to purchase 1,000 shares of Mac-
Gray Common Stock. The 1997 Stock Plan also provides for the automatic grant
to each Independent Director of a Non-Qualified Option to purchase 1,000
shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock upon his or her initial election to the Mac-
Gray Board. In addition, each Independent Director who is serving as a
director of Mac-Gray on the fifth business day after each annual meeting of
stockholders, beginning with the 1998 annual meeting, will automatically be
granted on such day a Non-Qualified Option to acquire 1,000 shares of Mac-Gray
Common Stock. The exercise price of each such Non-Qualified Option is the fair
market value of the Mac-Gray Common Stock on the date of grant. All of such
Non-Qualified Options granted to Independent Directors are exercisable
immediately and terminate on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant.
 
  Stock Appreciation Right. The Compensation Committee may award a stock
appreciation right ("SAR") either as a freestanding award or in tandem with a
stock option. Upon exercise of the SAR, the holder will be entitled to receive
an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value on the date of exercise
of one share of Mac-Gray Common Stock over the exercise price per share
specified in the related stock option (or, in the case of freestanding SAR,
the price per share specified in such right, which price may not be less than
85% of the fair market value of the Mac-Gray Common Stock on the date of
grant) times the number of shares of Mac-Gray
 
                                      34
<PAGE>
 
Common Stock with respect to which the SAR is exercised. This amount may be
paid in cash, Mac-Gray Common Stock, or a combination thereof, as determined
by the Compensation Committee. If the SAR is granted in tandem with a stock
option, exercise of the SAR cancels the related option to the extent of such
exercise.
 
  Restricted Stock. The Compensation Committee may also award shares of Mac-
Gray Common Stock to officers, other employees and key persons of Mac-Gray
subject to such conditions and restrictions as the Compensation Committee may
determine ("Restricted Stock"). These conditions and restrictions may include
the achievement of certain performance goals and/or continued employment with
Mac-Gray through a specified restricted period. The purchase price of shares
of Restricted Stock will be determined by the Compensation Committee. If the
performance goals and other restrictions are not attained, the employees will
forfeit their awards of Restricted Stock.
 
  Unrestricted Stock. The Compensation Committee may also grant shares (at no
cost or for a purchase price determined by the Committee) which are free from
any restrictions under the 1997 Stock Plan ("Unrestricted Stock").
Unrestricted Stock may be issued to employees and key persons in recognition
of past services or other valid consideration, and may be issued in lieu of
cash bonuses to be paid to such employees and key persons.
 
  Subject to the consent of the Compensation Committee, an employee or key
person of Mac-Gray may make an irrevocable election to receive a portion of
his compensation in Unrestricted Stock (valued at fair market value on the
date the cash compensation would otherwise be paid).
 
  An Independent Director may, pursuant to an irrevocable written election at
least six months before directors' fees would otherwise be paid, receive all
or a portion of such fees in Unrestricted Stock, valued at fair market value
on the date the directors' fees would otherwise be paid. In certain instances,
an Independent Director may also elect to defer a portion of his director fees
payable in the form of Unrestricted Stock, in accordance with such rules and
procedures as may from time to time be established by Mac-Gray. During the
period of deferral, the deferred Unrestricted Stock would receive dividend
equivalent rights.
 
  Performance Share Awards. The Compensation Committee may also grant
performance share awards to employees or other key persons of Mac-Gray
entitling the recipient to receive shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock upon the
achievement of individual or company performance goals and such other
conditions as the Compensation Committee shall determine ("Performance Share
Award").
 
  Dividend Equivalent Rights. The Compensation Committee may grant dividend
equivalent rights, which give the recipient the right to receive credits for
dividends that would be paid if the grantee had held specified shares of Mac-
Gray Common Stock. Dividend equivalent rights may be granted as a component of
another award or as a freestanding award. Dividend equivalents credited under
the 1997 Stock Plan may be paid currently or be deemed to be reinvested in
additional shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock, which may thereafter accrue
additional dividend equivalents at fair market value at the time of deemed
reinvestment or on the terms then governing the reinvestment of dividends
under Mac-Gray's dividend reinvestment plan, if any. Dividend equivalent
rights may be settled in cash, shares, or a combination thereof, in a single
installment or installments, as specified in the award. Awards payable in cash
on a deferred basis may provide for crediting and payment of interest
equivalents.
 
  Adjustments for Stock Dividends, Mergers, Etc. The Compensation Committee
will make appropriate adjustments in outstanding awards to reflect stock
dividends, stock splits and similar events. In the event of a merger,
liquidation, sale of Mac-Gray or similar event, the Compensation Committee, in
its discretion, may provide for substitution or adjustments of outstanding
options and SARs, or may terminate all unexercised options and SARs with or
without payment of cash consideration.
 
  Amendments and Termination. The Mac-Gray Board may at any time amend or
discontinue the 1997 Stock Plan and the Compensation Committee may at any time
amend or cancel outstanding awards for the purpose of satisfying changes in
the law or for any other lawful purpose. No such action may be taken, however,
 
                                      35
<PAGE>
 
which adversely affects any rights under outstanding awards without the
holder's consent. Further, amendments to the 1997 Stock Plan shall be subject
to approval by Mac-Gray's stockholders if and to the extent required by the
Exchange Act, to ensure that awards granted under the 1997 Stock Plan are
exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or required by the
Code to preserve the qualified status of Incentive Options.
 
  Change in Control Provisions. The 1997 Stock Plan provides that in the event
of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets or Mac-Gray Common Stock,
a merger or consolidation which results in a change in control of Mac-Gray or
the liquidation or dissolution of Mac-Gray (a "Change in Control"), all stock
options and SARs shall automatically become fully exercisable. In addition, at
any time prior to or after a Change in Control, the Compensation Committee may
accelerate awards and waive conditions and restrictions on any awards to the
extent it may determine appropriate.
 
STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
 
  Prior to the IPO, Mac-Gray terminated the Mac-Gray Co., Inc. 1992 Stock
Appreciation Rights Plan (the "1992 SAR Plan"). There are no outstanding stock
appreciation rights under the 1992 SAR Plan.
 
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS WITH EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
 
  Mac-Gray is not a party to any employment agreements with any of its
executive officers.
 
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
   
  All executive officer compensation decisions are made by the Compensation
Committee. The Compensation Committee reviews and makes recommendations
regarding the compensation for management and key employees of Mac-Gray,
including salaries and bonuses. The members of the Compensation Committee are
Messrs. MacDonald, Leydon and Schiller. Mr. MacDonald, the Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Mac-Gray, does not participate in the review and
decisions regarding his own compensation. Prior to May 2, 1997, and prior to
the creation of the Compensation Committee, each of Messrs. MacDonald, Olbrych
and Flanagan participated in deliberations of the Mac-Gray Board concerning
executive compensation.     
 
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
  In April 1997, Mac-Gray consummated the Sun Services Acquisition whereby it
acquired Sun Services via mergers in which it issued an aggregate
consideration of approximately $2 million and 612,026 shares of Mac-Gray
Common Stock to Jeffrey C. Huenink, who is currently a member of the Mac-Gray
Board and a stockholder of Mac-Gray. In connection with the Sun Services
Acquisition, Mac-Gray entered into a non-competition agreement (the "Huenink
Non-Competition Agreement") and a Consulting Agreement (the "Consulting
Agreement") with Mr. Huenink, the former owner of Sun Services. The Huenink
Non-Competition Agreement prohibits Mr. Huenink from conducting business in
Mac-Gray's principal industry for a period of three years from the later of
the date of termination of the Consulting Agreement and the date that Mr.
Huenink ceases to be a director of Mac-Gray. Pursuant to the terms of the
Consulting Agreement, Mr. Huenink is to advise Mac-Gray through April 16, 2002
with respect to its acquisition strategy and assist Mac-Gray in seeking out
acquisition candidates that complement this strategy. Mac-Gray has provided
Mr. Huenink with incentives to identify acquisition candidates that may be
successfully integrated into Mac-Gray including a combined fixed rate/bonus
compensation package. The fixed rate portion of the compensation package
provides Mr. Huenink with an annual consulting payment of $50,000 during each
of the first and second years of the Consulting Agreement and $100,000 for
each of the third through fifth years. In addition, the bonus portion of the
compensation package is computed based upon a percentage (1% during the first
and second years and .75% during each of the third through fifth years) of
revenues of certain acquired businesses and is guaranteed to be at least
$225,000 during each of the first and second years of the Consulting
Agreement.
 
  In connection with the Sun Services Acquisition, Mac-Gray entered into a
Stockholders' Agreement (the "First Stockholders' Agreement") with Mr. Huenink
and certain principal stockholders of Mac-Gray pursuant
 
                                      36
<PAGE>
 
   
to which (i) Mr. Huenink received demand and "piggy-back" registration rights,
(ii) each such stockholder agreed to vote their respective shares in favor of
Mr. Huenink's election to the Mac-Gray Board, which voting obligation
terminated upon the consummation of the Intirion acquisition, (iii) Mr.
Huenink received the Put Right, and (iv) Mac-Gray received the Call Right,
which Call Right terminated upon the consummation of the IPO. The Put Right
expires on October 22, 2000. See "Mac-Gray's Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation--Liquidity and
Capital Resources" and Footnote 3 to the table included under "Principal
Stockholders of Mac-Gray."     
 
  In connection with the Mac-Gray Combination, Mac-Gray (i) acquired all of
the shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, of Mac-Gray Co. from
each of Mr. Stewart Gray MacDonald, Jr. ("Mr. S. MacDonald, Jr."), Ms. Sandra
E. MacDonald ("Ms. S. MacDonald"), Mr. Daniel W. MacDonald ("Mr. D.
MacDonald," and collectively, the "MacDonalds") and certain trusts under which
such individuals are beneficiaries in exchange for an aggregate of 5,000,000
shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock and (ii) acquired all of the limited partner
interests in the Limited Partnership from each of the MacDonalds in exchange
for an aggregate of 1,367,800 shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock. Immediately
after the Mac-Gray Combination, Mac-Gray effected the merger of the Limited
Partnership with and into Mac-Gray Co., the Limited Partnership's sole general
partner. Mac-Gray and Mac-Gray Co. have assumed the existing liabilities and
indebtedness of the Limited Partnership. Mr. S. MacDonald, Jr. is Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Mac-Gray Board, and each of Mr. S.
MacDonald, Jr., Ms. S. MacDonald and Mr. D. MacDonald own of record and
beneficially greater than five percent of the outstanding shares of Mac-Gray
Common Stock.
 
  Pursuant to a Stockholders' Agreement by and among Mac-Gray and certain of
its stockholders (the "Second Stockholders' Agreement," and together with the
First Stockholders' Agreement, the "Stockholders' Agreements"), (i) each of
Mr. S. MacDonald, Jr., Ms. S. MacDonald and Mr. D. MacDonald (and any
assignees or trusts created by them or under which they are beneficiaries)
received "piggy-back" and demand registration rights, (ii) each of the
MacDonalds granted to and received rights of first offer to purchase shares of
Mac-Gray Common Stock offered for sale by another stockholder who is a party
thereto and (iii) the MacDonalds granted to Mac-Gray rights of second offer to
purchase such shares. See Footnote 3 to the table included under "Principal
Stockholders of Mac-Gray."
       
       
  In 1977, Mac-Gray Co. entered into an arrangement with Mac-Gray's co-founder
and then Chief Executive Officer that provided his wife, Ms. Evelyn C.
MacDonald ("Ms. E. MacDonald"), with an annual payment following his death.
Mac-Gray, through its subsidiary, Mac-Gray Services, pays Ms. E. MacDonald,
the mother of Mr. S. MacDonald, Jr., Mac-Gray's Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, a fixed amount of $104,000 per year pursuant to this arrangement,
which is not evidenced by a comprehensive written agreement, and will continue
to make such payments for the remainder of Ms. E. MacDonald's life. See Note 8
of the Notes to Combined Financial Statements of Mac-Gray Corporation.
   
  Immediately following the consummation of the IPO, Mac-Gray distributed
approximately $9 million of the proceeds thereof to its stockholders of record
as of a date immediately prior to the consummation of the IPO. This
distribution represented a significant portion of Mac-Gray's and certain of
its predecessor's historical, undistributed earnings through June 30, 1997,
which were previously taxed for federal and state income tax purposes directly
to the stockholders of Mac-Gray.

  The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the
beneficial ownership of Mac-Gray Common Stock as of April 7, 1998 by (i) each
person known by Mac-Gray to own beneficially five percent or more of the
outstanding shares of the Mac-Gray Common Stock, (ii) each director of Mac-
Gray, the Chief Executive Officer and each of the Named Executive Officers,
and (iii) all directors and executive officers of Mac-Gray as a group. Except
as otherwise indicated, Mac-Gray believes that the beneficial owners of Mac-
Gray Common Stock listed below, based on information furnished by such owners,
have sole investment and voting power with respect to such shares, subject to
community property laws where applicable.

  On June 9, 1998, the closing sales price of Mac-Gray Common Stock, as
reported on the NYSE, was $15 1/8 per share. As of June 9, 1998, there were

record.     
   
  Mac-Gray does not currently pay dividends on Mac-Gray Common Stock. The Mac-
Gray Board currently intends to retain future earnings, if any, for the
development of Mac-Gray's businesses and does not anticipate paying cash
dividends on Mac-Gray Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Future
determinations by the Mac-Gray Board to pay dividends on Mac-Gray Common Stock
would be based primarily upon the financial condition, results of operations
and business requirements of Mac-Gray. Dividends, if any, would be payable in
the sole discretion of Mac-Gray Board out of the funds legally available
therefor. In addition, the payment of dividends is restricted under the Credit
Facility.     
                          
                       DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK     
 
AUTHORIZED AND OUTSTANDING CAPITAL STOCK
   
  The authorized capital stock of Mac-Gray consists of 30,000,000 shares of
Mac-Gray Common Stock, $.01 par value per share, and 5,000,000 shares of
undesignated preferred stock issuable in series by the Mac-Gray Board
("Preferred Stock"). As of June 9, 1998, there were 13,424,118 shares of Mac-
Gray Common Stock (including 612,026 shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock subject
to the Put Right) outstanding that were held of record by 85 stockholders. The
following summary description of the capital stock of Mac-Gray does not
purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Mac-Gray Charter and the Mac-Gray By-laws. The Mac-Gray Charter and the Mac-
Gray By-laws have been adopted by the stockholders of Mac-Gray and the Mac-
Gray Board.     
 
  Mac-Gray Common Stock. The holders of Mac-Gray Common Stock are entitled to
one vote per share on all matters to be voted on by stockholders and are
entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to
time by the Mac-Gray Board from funds legally available therefor. The possible
issuance of Preferred Stock with a preference over Mac-Gray Common Stock as to
dividends could impact the dividend rights of holders of Mac-Gray Common
Stock. Holders of Mac-Gray Common Stock are not entitled to cumulative voting
rights. Therefore, the holders of a majority of the shares voted in the
election of directors can elect all of the directors then standing for
election, subject to the rights of the holders of any then outstanding
Preferred Stock, if and when issued. The holders of Mac-Gray Common Stock have
no preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no conversion rights
or redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to the Mac-Gray Common
Stock. Upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of Mac-Gray, the net assets of Mac-Gray shall be distributed pro rata to
the holders of the Mac-Gray Common Stock in accordance with their respective
rights and interests, subject to the rights and interests of the holders of
Preferred Stock, if and when issued. All outstanding shares of Mac-Gray Common
Stock, including the shares to be issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement,
are, or will be upon consummation of the Merger, fully paid and non-
assessable.
 
                                      42
<PAGE>
 
  The Mac-Gray Charter and the Mac-Gray By-laws provide, subject to the rights
of the holders of any Preferred Stock then outstanding, that the number of
directors shall be fixed by the Mac-Gray Board. The directors, other than
those who may be elected by the holders of any Preferred Stock, are divided
into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, with each class
serving for a three-year term. Subject to any rights of the holders of
Preferred Stock to elect directors and to remove any director whom the holders
of any such stock had the right to elect, any director of Mac-Gray may be
removed from office only with cause and by the affirmative vote of at least
two-thirds of the total votes which would be eligible to be cast by
stockholders in the election of such director.
 
  Undesignated Preferred Stock. The Mac-Gray Board is authorized, without
further action of the stockholders of Mac-Gray, to issue up to 5,000,000
shares of Preferred Stock in classes or series and to fix the designations,
powers, preferences and the relative, participating, optional or other special
rights of the shares of each series and any qualifications, limitations and
restrictions thereon as set forth in the Mac-Gray Charter. Any such Preferred
Stock issued by Mac-Gray may rank prior to the Mac-Gray Common Stock as to
dividend rights, liquidation preference or both, may have full or limited
voting rights and may be convertible into shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock.
 
  The purpose of authorizing the Mac-Gray Board to issue Preferred Stock is,
in part, to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific
issuances. The issuance of Preferred Stock could have the effect of making it
more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party
from acquiring or seeking to acquire, a significant portion of the outstanding
Mac-Gray Common Stock.
   
CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF CHARTER AND BY-LAWS     
 
  General. A number of provisions of the Mac-Gray Charter and the Mac-Gray By-
laws concern matters of corporate governance and the rights of stockholders.
Certain of these provisions, as well as the ability of the Mac-Gray Board to
issue shares of Preferred Stock and to set the voting rights, preferences and
other terms thereof, may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may
discourage takeover attempts not first approved by the Mac-Gray Board,
including takeovers which certain stockholders may deem to be in their best
interests. To the extent takeover attempts are discouraged, temporary
fluctuations in the market price of Mac-Gray Common Stock, which may result
from actual or rumored takeover attempts, may be inhibited. These provisions,
together with the classified Mac-Gray Board and the ability of the Mac-Gray
Board to issue Preferred Stock without further stockholder action, also could
delay or frustrate the removal of incumbent directors or the assumption of
control by stockholders, even if such removal or assumption would be
beneficial to stockholders of Mac-Gray. These provisions also could discourage
or make more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, even if a
transaction or contest could be favorable to the interests of stockholders,
and could potentially depress the market price of the Mac-Gray Common Stock.
The Mac-Gray Board believes that these provisions are appropriate to protect
the interests of Mac-Gray and all of its stockholders. The Mac-Gray Board has
no present plans to adopt any other measures or devices which may be deemed to
have an "anti-takeover effect."
 
  Meetings of Stockholders. The Mac-Gray By-laws provide that a special
meeting of stockholders may be called only by the Mac-Gray Board unless
otherwise required by law. The Mac-Gray By-laws provide that only those
matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered or
acted upon at that special meeting, unless otherwise provided by law. In
addition, the Mac-Gray By-laws set forth certain other requirements, such as
advance notice and informational requirements and time limitations on any
director nomination or any new business which a stockholder wishes to propose
for consideration at an annual meeting of stockholders.
 
  No Stockholder Action by Written Consent. The Mac-Gray Charter provides
that, for so long as Mac-Gray has a class of stock registered pursuant to the
provisions of the Exchange Act, any action required or permitted to be taken
by the stockholders of Mac-Gray at an annual or special meeting of
stockholders must be effected at a duly called meeting and may not be taken or
effected by a written consent of stockholders in lieu thereof.
 
                                      43
<PAGE>
 
  Indemnification and Limitation of Liability. The Mac-Gray By-laws provide
that directors and officers of Mac-Gray shall be, and in the discretion of the
Mac-Gray Board non-officer employees may be, indemnified by Mac-Gray to the
fullest extent authorized by Delaware law, as it now exists or may in the
future be amended, against all expenses and liabilities reasonably incurred in
connection with service for or on behalf of Mac-Gray, and further permits the
advancing of expenses incurred in defense of claims. The Mac-Gray By-laws also
provide that the right of directors and officers to indemnification shall be a
contractual right and shall not be exclusive of any other right now possessed
or hereafter acquired under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or
otherwise. The Mac-Gray Charter contains a provision permitted by Delaware law
that generally eliminates the personal liability of directors for monetary
damages for breaches of their fiduciary duty, including breaches involving
negligence or gross negligence in business combinations, unless the director
has breached his or her duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged
in intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, paid a dividend or
approved a stock repurchase in violation of the DGCL or obtained an improper
personal benefit. This provision does not alter a director's liability under
the federal securities laws. In addition, this provision does not affect the
availability of equitable remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, for
breach of fiduciary duty.
 
  Amendment of the Mac-Gray Charter. The Mac-Gray Charter provides that an
amendment thereof must first be approved by a majority of the Mac-Gray Board
and (with certain exceptions) thereafter approved by the holders of a majority
of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on such amendment, and the
affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of each class
entitled to vote thereon as a class; provided, however, that the affirmative
vote of not less than 80% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on such
amendment, and the affirmative vote of not less than 80% of the outstanding
shares of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class, is required to amend
provisions of the Mac-Gray Charter relating to the prohibition of stockholder
action by written consent, the establishment, composition and powers of the
Mac-Gray Board, the limitation of director liability and amendments to the
Mac-Gray Charter.
 
  Amendment of the Mac-Gray By-laws. The Mac-Gray Charter provides that the
Mac-Gray By-laws may be amended or repealed by the Mac-Gray Board or by the
stockholders. Such action by the Mac-Gray Board requires the affirmative vote
of a majority of the directors then in office. Such action by the stockholders
requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least three-fourths of the
total votes present and eligible to be cast by holders of voting stock voting
as a single class with respect to such amendment or repeal at an annual
meeting of stockholders or a special meeting called for such purpose, unless
the Mac-Gray Board recommends that the stockholders approve such amendment or
repeal at such meeting, in which case such amendment or repeal shall only
require the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes present and
eligible to be cast by holders of voting stock voting as a single class with
respect to such amendment or repeal.
 
  Ability to Adopt Stockholder Rights Plan. The Mac-Gray Board may in the
future resolve to issue shares of Preferred Stock or rights to acquire such
shares, to implement a stockholder rights plan which creates voting or other
impediments or under which shares are distributed to a third-party investor, a
group of investors or stockholders or issued to an employee stock ownership
plan to discourage persons seeking to gain control of Mac-Gray by means of a
merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, if such change in control is
not in the best interests of Mac-Gray and its stockholders. The Mac-Gray Board
has no present intention of adopting a stockholder rights plan and is not
aware of any attempt to obtain control of Mac-Gray.
 
STATUTORY BUSINESS COMBINATION PROVISION
 
  Mac-Gray is subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL. Section
203 provides, with certain exceptions, that a Delaware corporation may not
engage in any of a broad range of business combinations with a person, or an
affiliate or associate of such person, who is an "interested stockholder" for
a period of three years from the date that such person became an interested
stockholder unless: (i) the transaction resulting in a person becoming an
interested stockholder, or the business combination, is approved by the board
of directors of the corporation before the person becomes an interested
stockholder; (ii) the interested stockholder acquired 85% or more of the
outstanding voting stock of the corporation in the same transaction that makes
it an interested stockholder (excluding shares owned by persons who are both
officers and directors of the corporation,
 
                                      44
<PAGE>
 
and shares held by certain employee stock ownership plans); or (iii) on or
after the date the person becomes an interested stockholder, the business
combination is approved by the corporation's board of directors and by the
holders of at least two-thirds of the corporation's outstanding voting stock
at an annual or special meeting, excluding shares owned by the interested
stockholder. Under Section 203, an "interested stockholder" is defined (with
certain limited exceptions) as any person that is (x) the owner of 15% or more
of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation or (y) an affiliate or
associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the
outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within the three-year
period immediately prior to the date on which it is sought to be determined
whether such person is an interested stockholder.
 
  A corporation may, at its option, exclude itself from the coverage of
Section 203 by amending its certificate of incorporation or by-laws by action
of its stockholders to exempt itself from coverage; provided, however, that
such by-law or charter amendment shall not become effective until 12 months
after the date the stockholders adopt such exclusion. Neither the Mac-Gray
Charter nor the Mac-Gray By-laws contains any such exclusion.
 
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
   
  State Street Bank and Trust Company is the transfer agent and registrar for
Mac-Gray Common Stock.     
               
            THE SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS AND THE OFFERED SHARES     
   
BACKGROUND     
   
  The Shares were acquired by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to the
Merger Agreement. The resale of the Shares by the Selling Securityholders is
restricted by Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act, and such Shares
cannot be transferred unless (i) their resale is registered under the
Securities Act or (ii) they are transferred in accordance with Rule 145 or
another exemption from registration under the Securities Act.     
   
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT     
   
  In connection with the Merger, Mac-Gray and the Selling Securityholders
entered into that certain registration rights agreement dated as of March 12,
1998 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). The material provisions of the
Registration Rights Agreement are set forth below. A copy of the Registration
Rights Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement
and can be obtained in the manner described under "Available Information."
       
  Resale Registration. To facilitate the resale by the Selling Securityholders
of the Shares, Mac-Gray agreed to use its best efforts to file and cause to
become effective under the Securities Act no later than April 12, 1998 a
resale registration statement covering all of the Shares. The Registration
Statement, of which this Prospectus is a part, satisfies that obligation. May-
Gray has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the
Registration Statement continuously effective for a period ending with the
earlier of (a) the sale of all the Shares and (b) March 12, 1999.     
   
  Piggyback Registration. If at any time or times prior to March 12, 2000 Mac-
Gray shall determine to register under the Securities Act any shares of Mac-
Gray Common Stock (except in certain specified situations), the Selling
Securityholder shall have the right to request the inclusion in such
registration of some or all of the Shares held by them. In the event of such a
request, Mac-Gray shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
Shares to be included in such registration on the same terms and conditions as
any similar securities of Mac-Gray or any other securityholder included
therein and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Shares in
accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof.     
   
  Certain Other Provisions. All expenses incident to Mac-Gray's performance of
its registration obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement,
including the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Mac-Gray retained in connection with each registration by the
Selling Securityholders of the Shares being registered, will be paid by Mac-
Gray. The Selling Securityholders will be responsible for     
 
                                      45
<PAGE>
 
   
underwriting commissions or discounts, transfer taxes, if any, attributable to
the sale of the Shares, any fees or expenses of any counsel, accountants or
other persons retained or employed by the Selling Securityholders (other than
the fees and expenses of one legal counsel as provided above) and out-of-
pocket expenses of the Selling Securityholders and their agents, including,
without limitation, any travel costs.     
   
  The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary indemnification
provisions whereby Mac-Gray is obligated to indemnify and hold harmless the
Selling Securityholders and certain related parties, and the Selling
Securityholders are obligated under certain circumstances to indemnify and
hold harmless Mac-Gray and certain related parties, in each case in connection
with liabilities relating to the registration of the Shares.

    acquire additional shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock.     
                              
                           PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION     
   
  The Selling Securityholders may sell the Shares (i) directly to purchasers
as principals or through one or more underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents
from time to time in one or more transactions (which may involve crosses or
block transactions), (ii) on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market,
(iii) in transactions otherwise than in the over-the-counter market or on an
exchange or (iv) through the writing of options (whether such options are
listed on an options exchange or otherwise) on, or settlement of short sales
of, the Shares. Any such transactions may be effected at market prices
prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market
prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated or
fixed prices, in each case as determined by the Selling Securityholders or by
agreement between the Selling Securityholders and underwriters, brokers,
dealers or agents or purchasers. If the Selling Securityholders effect such
transactions by selling the Shares to or through underwriters, brokers,
dealers or agents, such underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may receive
compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the
Selling Securityholders or commissions from purchasers of the Shares for whom
they may act as agent (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to
particular underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may be in excess of those
customary in the types of transactions involved). The Selling Securityholders
and any brokers, dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the
Shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities
Act, and any profit on the sale of the Shares by them and any discounts,
concessions or commissions received by any such underwriters, brokers, dealers
or agents may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the
Securities Act.     
   
  In the event of a "distribution" of the Shares, the Selling Securityholders,
any selling broker-dealer or agent and any "affiliated purchasers" may be
subject to Regulation M under the Exchange Act, which would prohibit, with
certain exceptions, each such person from bidding for, purchasing or
attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is
the subject of such distribution until his participation in that distribution
is completed. In addition, Regulation M under the Exchange Act prohibits
certain "stabilizing bids" or "stabilizing purchases" for the purpose of
pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of Mac-Gray Common Stock in
connection with any offer of the Shares by the Selling Securityholders.     
   
  To the extent not described herein and as otherwise required by law, the
specific amount of the Shares being offered or sold, the names of the Selling
Securityholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering     
 
                                      46

prices, the names of any agent, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable
commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer or sale will be
set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-
effective amendment to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is
a part.     
   
  Mac-Gray will not receive any of the proceeds of the sale of the Shares by
any Selling Securityholder.     
   
  Under the securities laws of certain states, the Shares may be sold in such
states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in
certain states the Shares may not be sold unless the Shares have been
registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from
registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors and
 Stockholders of Mac-Gray Corporation
 
  In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of income, of changes in stockholders' equity and of
cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Mac-Gray Corporation (the "Company"), at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our

                             MAC-GRAY CORPORATION
                   
                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS     
                (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)
 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
   
  Basis of Presentation--The financial statements include the accounts of Mac-
Gray Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. On April 17, 1997, Mac-
Gray Co., Inc. and Mac-Gray, L.P. were reorganized to create Mac-Gray
Corporation (the "Parent"). The Parent acquired all of the outstanding common
stock of Mac-Gray Co., Inc. and all of the outstanding limited partnership
interest of Mac-Gray, L.P. in exchange for 6,367,800 shares of the Parent's
common stock. On March 12, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of
Intirion Corporation ("Intirion"). This transaction was accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests and, therefore, the accompanying financial statements
have been retroactively restated to reflect the financial position and results
of operations and cash flows of Intirion with the Company for all periods
presented (see Note 2). All significant intercompany transactions and balances
have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made to the
financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.     
   
  Description of the Business--The Company generates the majority of its
revenue from card and coin route laundry rooms located in the Northeastern,
Midwestern and Southeastern United States. The Company's principal customer
base is the multi-housing market, which consists of apartments, condominium
units, colleges and universities. The Company sells, services and leases
commercial laundry equipment to commercial laundromats and institutions.
Through Intirion, the Company is now engaged in the development, distribution,
rental and sale of multi-purpose appliances to commercial and residential
markets. The Company sells its multi-purpose products primarily to academic
institutions and the U.S. government, and also rents its products to academic
institutions and the students at academic institutions. The majority of the
Company's purchases of coin route laundry equipment and multi-purpose
appliances are from two suppliers.     
   
  Unaudited Interim Financial Statements--The accompanying financial
information as of March 31, 1998 and for the three month periods ended March
31, 1997 and 1998 is unaudited. The unaudited interim financial information as
of and for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 has been prepared on
the same basis as the accompanying annual financial statements. In the opinion
of management, such interim financial information reflects adjustments
consisting of normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of such financial information. The unaudited results of
operations for the interim periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any
other interim period or for the full year.     
 
2. ACQUISITIONS
   
  On March 12, 1998, the Company acquired Intirion Corporation pursuant to an
Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 22, 1997. Pursuant to the
agreement, Intirion equity securities were exchanged for approximately 1.6
million shares of Mac-Gray common stock and approximately $1 million in cash.
Intirion Corporation had a June 30 year end and the results of operations for
the three years ended June 30, 1997, were combined with the results of
operations for Mac-Gray's three years ended December 31, 1997, respectively.
Additionally, the financial position of Intirion as of June 30, 1996 and 1997
has been combined with the Company's financial position as of December 31,
1996 and 1997, respectively. As such, results of operations for Intirion for
the six months ended December 31, 1997 (including revenue and net income of
$13,355 and $289, respectively) were not included in the consolidated
statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997. In order to
conform Intirion's year end to Mac-Gray's year end, an adjustment has been
made to retained earnings in fiscal 1998 to include the net income of Intirion
for this six month period.

                  (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)     
   
  Costs directly associated with the pooling transaction of $884 were incurred
in the three months ended March 31, 1998. These costs include legal,
accounting and severance costs directly associated with the pooling
transaction and are classified as merger-related costs on the income
statement. Additionally, $123 of sales and marketing expenses and $66 of
general and administrative expenses incurred by Intirion in the three months
ended March 31, 1998 are considered to be non-recurring as they were directly
attributable to the individuals whose employment was terminated subsequent to
the transaction.     
          
  Revenues and net income (loss) for each of the two previously separate
companies for the period prior to the Intirion Acquisition were as follows:

    In October and November, 1997, the Company acquired certain assets of two
coin-operated laundry businesses for approximately $7,150. These acquisitions
were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the
purchase price assigned to the assets acquired was the fair market value on
the respective acquisition dates. Purchase price in excess of the fair value
of assets acquired was allocated to goodwill and amounted to approximately
$6,228. Pro forma financial information for the October and November 1997
acquisitions has not been presented due to their insignificance in relation to
the Company as a whole.     
 
  On April 17, 1997, the Company acquired in exchange for 612,026 shares of
its common stock, (approximate value of $7,797), approximately $2,170 in cash,
$850 of a deferred payment obligation, and assumption of approximately $2,787
in debt, each of Sun Services of America, Inc. and R.
Bodden Coin-Op Laundry, Inc. (collectively, "Sun Services"). The shares of the
Company's common stock are redeemable at the election of the shareholder. The
redeemable common stock has been valued at a contractual put price of $12.74
per common share (which was in excess of market as of that date). The
redemption feature of these shares expires on October 22, 2000. Sun Services
of America, Inc. and R. Bodden Coin-Op Laundry were 100% owned by the same
shareholder. The Parent acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Sun
Services, which was accounted for pursuant to the purchase method of
accounting, and resulted in goodwill of approximately $11,600.

Services Acquisition as if it occurred on January 1, 1996. For the year ended
December 31, 1997, the historical results of Sun Services for the period from
April 1, 1997 through April 16, 1997 have not been included and are not

  In 1995, the Company acquired certain assets of Commercial Appliance, Inc.
for $821 and recorded goodwill of approximately $564. During 1996, the Company
acquired certain assets of six coin-operated laundry businesses or divisions
for an aggregate purchase price of $15,561 and recorded goodwill of $10,184.
Non-compete agreements valued at $1,250 were also recorded in 1996 in
connection with these acquisitions. These acquisitions were accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting. Pro forma financial information has
not been provided for these acquisitions due to lack of historical financial
data of the acquired entities.     
   
  The Company's consolidated financial statements include the results of the
1995, 1996, and 1997 acquisitions from their respective acquisition dates.
    
3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING OF COMMON STOCK
 
  Mac-Gray Corporation completed its initial public offering of 4,600,000
shares of common stock at $11 per share on October 22, 1997. The net proceeds
from the sale of the common stock of $45,174 were used primarily to repay
existing indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facility (Note 9) and to
fund a distribution of $9,000 of previously taxed but undistributed earnings
to the Company's shareholders of record as of October 16, 1997. As a result of
the initial public offering, the Company's S corporation status was
terminated. Retained earnings of $5,907 as of that date were reclassified to
additional paid-in capital to reflect additional contributions of capital by
the S-corporation shareholders.
 
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Cash, Cash Equivalents and Available-For-Sale Security--The Company
considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
  The Company invests excess cash in repurchase agreements and other highly
liquid short term investments. Accordingly, the investments are subject to
minimal credit and market risk. All of the Company's investments are
classified as available-for-sale. As such, unrealized gains and losses are
excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders'
equity, net of tax.
   
  Revenue Recognition--The Company recognizes coin route laundry revenue on
the accrual basis. Rental revenue is recognized ratably over the related
contractual period, which is less than one year. The Company recognizes
revenue from product sales upon shipment of the products. The Company offers
limited duration warranties on multi-purpose appliance products and, at the
time of sale, provides reserves for all estimated warranty costs.

                  (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)     
   
  Allowance for Doubtful Accounts--The Company maintains an allowance for
doubtful accounts of $372 at December 31, 1996 and $508 at December 31, 1997.
       
  Concentration of Credit Risk--Financial instruments which potentially expose
the Company to concentration of credit risk include trade receivables,
generated by the Company as a result of its selling and leasing activities. To
minimize this risk, ongoing credit evaluations of customers' financial
condition are performed and reserves are maintained. The Company typically
does not require collateral.     
 
  Fair Value of Financial Instruments--For purposes of financial reporting,
the Company has determined that the fair value of financial instruments
approximates book value at December 31, 1996 and 1997, based upon terms
currently available to the Company in financial markets.
   
  Inventories--Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (as determined
using the first-in, first-out method) or market and consist primarily of
finished goods.     
   
  Property, Plant and Equipment--Property, plant and equipment are stated at
cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the respective assets. Tooling costs are depreciated using the units-
of-production method. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to
operations as incurred; acquisitions, major renewals, and betterments are
capitalized.     
 
  Coin route equipment-not yet placed in service--These assets represent
laundry machines that management estimates will be installed in coin route
laundry rooms and have not been purchased for commercial sale.
   
  Intangible Assets--Intangible assets primarily consist of various non-
compete agreements and goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisitions
(Note 2). The non-compete agreements are amortized using the straight-line
method over the life of the agreements, which ranges from two to five years.
Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method over fifteen or twenty
years from the acquired companies respective dates of acquisitions. Intangible
assets also include customer lists which are being amortized on a straight-
line basis ranging from five to ten years.     
 
  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets--Impairment losses are recorded on long-
lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and
the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less
than the assets' carrying amount.
       
  Income Taxes--Mac-Gray Co., Inc. which elected S corporation status, and
Mac-Gray, L.P. were "pass through" entities for income tax purposes prior to
the reorganization on April 17, 1997. From April 17, 1997 through October 16,
1997, Mac-Gray Corporation also elected S corporation status. Accordingly,
earnings and losses were included on the income tax returns of the respective
equity owners through October 16, 1997. On October 16, 1997, the Company's S
corporation status was terminated as a result of the initial public offering.
   
  The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability
method as prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). Under the provisions of SFAS 109,
the current or deferred tax consequences of a transaction are measured by
applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to determined the amount of taxes
payable currently or in future years. The classification of net current and
non-current deferred tax assets or liabilities depend upon the nature of the
related asset or liability. Deferred income taxes, net of any valuation
allowance, are provided for temporary differences and operating loss
carryforwards.     
 
  Stock Compensation--The Company's stock option plans are accounted for in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees". In fiscal 1996, the Company

adopted the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation".
 
  Use of Estimates--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
   
  Earnings Per Share--The Company accounts for earnings per share in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings
Per Share" (SFAS 128). SFAS 128 replaces APB Opinion No. 15 "Earnings Per
Share" and requires the presentation of basic earnings per share and diluted
earnings per share (EPS). Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by
dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the
potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an
entity, similar to fully diluted EPS under APB 15. Diluted earnings per share
has been calculated using the treasury stock method and prior period earnings
per share have been restated in accordance with SFAS 128. Net income per share
gives effect to the exchange of shares between the Parent and the Company
(Note 1).     
   
  New Accounting Pronouncements--The Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS 131). In accordance
with this statement, the Company will implement SFAS 131 which requires that
certain additional information related to operating segments be reported
during fiscal year 1998. The Company is currently reviewing the impact of this
statement on its financial statements.

 Credit Agreement and Revolving Credit Facility
   
  On April 17, 1997, the outstanding debt under the 1996 Credit Agreement and
Revolving Credit Facility was refinanced under terms of an amended and
restated agreement (the Senior Secured Credit Facility). The Senior Secured
Credit Facility provides for borrowings under (i) a revolving line of credit
and term loan facility and (ii) a revolving working capital line of credit
facility of up to $45,000 and $5,000, respectively. Outstanding indebtedness
under the Senior Secured Credit Facility bears interest at the Company's
option, at a rate equal to the prime rate plus .5% or LIBOR plus 2.5% with the
margin over the prime rate and LIBOR decreasing after October 22, 1997 due to
the initial public offering of the Company's common stock (Note 3) to the
prime rate less .5% or LIBOR plus 2.0%. The Senior Secured Credit Facility
restricts payments of dividends and other distributions, restricts the Company
from making certain acquisitions and incurring indebtedness, and requires it
to maintain certain financial ratios. The Senior Secured Credit Facility is
secured by pledges of assets of the Parent and its subsidiaries. The Senior
Secured Credit Facility provides for the issuance of standby letters of credit
of up to $15,000 in the aggregate. At December 31, 1997, outstanding letters
of credit amounted to $1,302. There is no outstanding balance on the Senior
Secured Credit Facility at December 31, 1997. The interest rate for the Senior
Secured Credit Facility at December 31, 1997 was 8.0%. Subsequent to year end,
the Company refinanced its credit facility (see Note 16).     
   
  Through Intirion the Company also had outstanding borrowings pursuant to a
secured demand line of credit agreement with a bank that allows for maximum
borrowings of $7,500 at December 31, 1997. Under the working capital component
of the agreement, borrowings are restricted to the lesser of (i) $4,800 or
(ii) the sum of (a)

80% of the eligible accounts receivable, as defined, and 50% of Intirion's
eligible inventory, as defined, and (b) 50% of issued and undrawn documentary
purchase letters of credit advanced by the bank. The working capital component
bears interest at 1% plus the greater of (i) the bank's base rate or (ii) the
sum of (a) .5% and (b) the average rate on overnight Federal funds
transactions (9.25%, and 9.5% for fiscal 1996 and 1997, respectively). Under
the rental asset component of the agreement, borrowings are restricted to the
lesser of (i) $1,500 or (ii) 70% of Intirion's eligible rental equipment, as
defined, plus 50% of outstanding rental letters of credit advanced by the
bank. The rental asset component bears interest at 1.5% plus the greater of
(i) the bank's base rate or (ii) the sum of (a) .5% and (b) the average rate
on overnight Federal funds transactions (9.75%, and 10.0% for fiscal 1996 and
1997, respectively). Borrowings under the line of credit agreement are secured
by substantially all assets of Intirion Corporation. On November 28, 1997, the
Company amended the secured demand line of credit agreement to increase the
borrowing bases to $5,500 and $2,000 relating to the working capital and
rental asset components, respectively.     
 
  In connection with the financing of the 1996 Acquisitions (Note 2), the
Company entered into a Credit Agreement with a bank which provided for
borrowings under a Revolving Line of Credit, Working Capital Line of Credit
and Acquisition Line of Credit of up to $14,000, $1,500 and $4,000,
respectively. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement were restricted to
providing working capital requirements of the Company and funding future
acquisitions.
 
  During June 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with a bank which
provided a Revolving Credit Facility with aggregate borrowings of up to
$4,500. As of December 31, 1996, $2,893 was available to be borrowed under the
Revolving Credit Facility. A portion of the proceeds from the Credit Agreement
and the Revolving Credit Facility were used to pay the balance of the Bank
Note and Line of Credit outstanding prior to the refinancing of the Company.
 
  The Credit Agreement and the Revolving Credit Facility provided for the
issuance of standby letters of credit up to $2,200 in the aggregate. At
December 31, 1996, outstanding letters of credit amounted to $1,526.
 
  Borrowings under the 1996 Credit Agreement and the Revolving Credit Facility
bore interest, at the Company's option, at either (1) the banks' prime
interest rate (the "Prime Rate") or (2) 2.5% plus the rate at which certain
Eurodollar deposits were offered in the interbank Eurodollar market (the
"LIBOR Rate") or (3) 2.5% plus the rate at which funds were offered in the
secondary markets (the "Cost of Funds Rate").
       
 Future Payments
 
  As of December 31, 1997, the scheduled future principal payments of long-
term debt are as follows:

10. INCOME TAXES
   
  On October 16, 1997, the Mac-Gray Corporation's S corporation status was
automatically terminated due to the initial public offering (Note 3). As a
result, the current year provision includes a charge of $4,037 to provide for
net deferred tax liabilities resulting from the change in income tax status
from an S corporation to a C corporation,

  Prior to October 16, 1997, the historical income tax provision for Mac-Gray
Corporation was established only to provide for income taxes in states that do
not recognize Subchapter S corporations, using a statutory income tax rate of
6%. The effective rate differed from the statutory rate in 1996 and 1997 (prior
to October 16, 1997) due to meals and entertainment expenses and goodwill
amortization recorded for book purposes that are not deductible for income tax
purposes. In addition to the aforementioned items, the Company's 1996 effective
tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate due to taxable losses generated by
Mac-Gray, L.P. for which only a 10% tax benefit (equivalent to Mac-Gray Co.,
Inc.'s general partnership interest in Mac-Gray, L.P.) was recognized by the
Company.     
   
  The provision for state and federal income taxes of the Company consists of
the following:

  A valuation allowance has been applied against deferred tax assets at
December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively, as it is considered more likely than
not that such assets will not be realized.     
   
  As Mac-Gray Corporation maintained its S corporation election through
October 16, 1997, the provision for income taxes recorded for the year ended
December 31, 1997 differs significantly from the amount of income taxes
determined by applying the applicable U.S. statutory federal income tax rate
to consolidated pretax income. For the period subsequent to the termination of
the S corporation, the statutory income tax rate differed from the effective
rate primarily as a result of the following differences:

11. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY     
 
  On January 1, 1996, the Company redeemed 2,275 shares of its common stock at
$240 per share from minority shareholders. The aggregate redemption price was
$546, consisting of cash in the amount of $125 and the issuance of five-year
promissory notes in the amount of $421, bearing interest at 8.75% per year.
   
  In April 1994, Intirion Corporation issued 100,000 shares of Senior
Redeemable Preferred Stock. Such securities are recorded at issuance cost plus
accumulated accretion and accrued dividends of $480 and $800 at December 31,
1996 and 1997, respectively. The Company was required to redeem one third of
the outstanding Senior Stock annually, over a three-year period beginning in
April 1999 at a redemption price equal to $40.00 per share, plus accrued but
unpaid dividends. This redemption obligation was being accreted through April
2001 by charges to retained earnings (deficit). Cumulative dividends of 6.0%
to 8.0% per annum were payable when and if declared by the Board of Directors,
upon mandatory redemption or upon liquidation. No dividends were paid in 1996
and 1997. Subsequent to year-end and in conjunction with the merger between
the Company and Intirion Corporation, on March 12, 1998, the Senior Redeemable
Preferred Stock was exchanged for approximately $1 million in cash and 275,224
shares of Mac-Gray common stock (Note 2).

  Guarantee of Indebtedness--At December 31, 1997, Mac-Gray Co., Inc. was a
guarantor on a line-of-credit for a customer in the amount of $706. The
customer incurred substantial losses. While the guarantee was secured by a
pledge of the borrowing company's assets, it was uncertain if those assets and
profits from continuing operations would be adequate to retire the line-of-
credit. The Company recorded a reserve of $250 at December 31, 1997 for
estimated losses on this guarantee. During the three months ended March 31,
1998, the customer defaulted on the line of credit and the Company succeeded
to the assets and assumed the liabilities of the customer in accordance with
the guarantee and related agreements.     
 
  Litigation--The Company is involved in various litigation proceedings
arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the
Company's ultimate liability, if any, under pending litigation would not
materially affect its financial condition or the results of its operations.

  1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plans--In December, 1996, the Board of
Directors of Mac-Gray Co. adopted, and the stockholders approved, the Mac-Gray
Co., Inc. 1996 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the Predecessor Plan). On
April 7, 1997, the Board of Directors adopted and the Company's stockholders
approved the 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan for the Company (the 1997
Stock Plan). The 1997 Stock Plan is designed and intended as a performance
incentive for officers, employees, consultants and directors to promote the
financial success and progress of the Company. All officers, employees and
independent directors are eligible to participate in the 1997 Stock Plan.
Awards, when made, may be in the form of stock options, restricted stock,
unrestricted stock options, and dividend equivalent rights.
 
  On December 30, 1996, Mac-Gray Co. granted 556,350 options to purchase
shares of common stock with an exercise price of $9.99 per share pursuant to
the Predecessor Plan. Concurrent with the reorganization of the Company, the
options issued pursuant to the Predecessory Plan were assumed by the Company
under the 1997 Stock Plan, and the Predecessory Plan was terminated. The
options assumed by the Company under the 1997 Plan were reflective of the
exchange of common stock between the Parent and Mac-Gray Co., Inc. The
exercise price of the options was adjusted to $8.80 in August 1997, in order
to restore the economic position of the option holders as a result of the
$9,000 distribution (Note 3). The change in the exercise price of these
options has been reflected as a cancellation of the $9.99 options and a grant
of the $8.80 options on the following option rollforward. Employee options
vest so that twenty percent (20%) of the options will become exercisable on
each of the first through fifth anniversaries of the date of grant of the
options. In the event of termination of the optionees' relationship with the
Company, options not yet exercised terminate within 90 days. The 1997 Stock
Plan also provided for the automatic grant to each of the four independent
directors to purchase 1,000 shares of common stock. The non-qualified options
granted to independent directors were exercisable immediately and will
terminate on the tenth anniversary of the grant. The exercise prices were
determined by the Board of Directors to be the fair market value of the shares
underlying the options on the respective dates of the grants. Other than the
stock option grants, there were no other grants of equity-based compensation
awards during 1996 and 1997.
 
  The 1997 Stock Plan provides for the issuance of up to the greater of
750,000 shares of common stock or ten percent of the then outstanding shares
of common stock. Subsequent to the initial public offering (Note 3), a total
of 1,157,982 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the 1997
Stock Plan, of which 638,590 shares are subject to outstanding options and
519,392 remain available for issuance.

  The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation." The Company continues to measure compensation cost using the
intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion 25. If
the Company had elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair value
of the options granted at grant date as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net income
and net income per share would have been reduced to $2,684 in 1997, or $0.28
per share compared to reported net income of $3,056, or $0.32 per share and
$0.31 per share-assuming dilution.

  In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123, a volatility assumption was
not used to calculate the fair value of options granted prior to the Company's
initial public offering.
 
  Because the determination of the fair value of all options granted includes
vesting periods over several years and additional option grants are expected
to be made each year, the above pro forma disclosures are not representative
of pro forma effects of reported net income for future periods.

15. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA TAX ADJUSTED DATA
   
  Statement of Income--Unaudited pro forma tax adjusted data reflects
adjustments to the consolidated statement of income for year ended December
31, 1997. Such adjustments consider the effect of the Company's operations as
if the Company was subject to federal and state income taxes on a corporate
level. Accordingly, the pro forma income tax provision and pro forma net
income have been calculated, as if the Company was subject to income taxation
as a C corporation during the entire year.

  Long-term Debt. At March 31, 1998, the balance outstanding under the 1997
Credit Facility was $8,254, with an 8% interest rate. Long-term debt also
includes various notes payable totaling $5,210, various unsecured notes
payable to former shareholders totaling $2,200, and amounts outstanding under
Intirion's secured demand line of credit of $1,994 at March 31, 1998. In
addition, through Intirion, the Company also had outstanding borrowings of
$1,460 at March 31, 1998 pursuant to a secured demand line with Intirion's
primary supplier relating to the purchase of finished goods. On April 17,
1998, the outstanding bank debt of Intirion in the amount of $1,948 was
retired using funds drawn on the 1997 Credit Facility.

         NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)     
                     
                  (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)     
          
  On April 23, 1998, the outstanding debt under Mac-Gray's $50 million
revolving credit facility with State Street Bank and Trust Company and
CoreStates Bank (the "Old Credit Facility") was refinanced under a new senior
secured revolving and term loan credit facility with State Street Bank and
Trust Company, CoreStates Bank and BankBoston, N.A. (the "Credit Facility").
The Credit Facility provides for borrowings under a revolving line of credit
of up to $90 million and converts to a term loan after three years. The term
loan has a weighted five year amortization schedule with a balloon payment due
after the second year of the term loan. Outstanding indebtedness under the
Credit Facility bears interest at Mac-Gray's option, at a rate equal to the
prime rate minus .5% or LIBOR plus the applicable margin (either (i) 1.5% for
loans outstanding which aggregate less than $50 million, or (ii) 1.75% for
loans outstanding which exceed $50 million), or cost of funds plus the
applicable margin. The Credit Facility restricts payments of dividends and
other distributions, restricts Mac-Gray from making certain acquisitions and
incurring indebtedness, and requires it to maintain certain financial ratios.
The Credit Facility is secured by pledges of the capital stock of Mac-Gray's
subsidiaries and a lien on Mac-Gray's assets.     
          
  Acquisitions. On April 24, 1998, Mac-Gray acquired through Mac-Gray
Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Mac-Gray
("Mac-Gray Services"), one hundred percent of the outstanding capital stock of
Amerivend Corporation, a Florida corporation, and the assets of Amerivend
Southeast Corporation, a Georgia corporation (together with Amerivend
Corporation, "Amerivend"). The acquisition was completed pursuant to a Stock
and Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 4, 1998 (the "Amerivend
Agreement"), by and among Mac-Gray Services, Amerivend, Gerald E. Pulver and
the Gerald E. Pulver Grantor Retained Annuity Trust. Pursuant to the Amerivend
Agreement, the purchase price was approximately $33.3 million in cash,
including the payment of approximately $6.8 million of debt. A portion of the
purchase price, $1.5 million, is being held in escrow to satisfy any potential
claims in accordance with the Amerivend Agreement. The funds used to pay the
purchase price were comprised primarily of borrowings under the Credit
Facility. Amerivend is a provider of card and coin-operated laundry equipment
in Florida and Georgia. Amerivend also is the principal distributor of Maytag
Corporation's ("Maytag") commercial laundry products in Alabama, Florida and
Georgia.     
   
  On April 23, 1998, Mac-Gray acquired Copico, Inc., a Massachusetts
corporation ("Copico"), through the purchase by Mac-Gray Services, Inc. of one
hundred percent of the outstanding capital stock of Copico. The acquisition
was completed pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 31,
1998 (the "Copico Agreement"), by and among Mac-Gray Services, Copico and
certain stockholders of Copico. In consideration and pursuant to the Copico
Agreement, Mac-Gray issued 250,000 shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock valued at
approximately $4.2 million based upon the closing price of the Mac-Gray Common
Stock on April 23, 1998. The cash portion of the purchase price was
approximately $11.1 million, including the payment of approximately $6.1
million of debt. The funds used to pay the cash portion of the consideration
were comprised primarily of borrowings under the Credit Facility. Copico is a
major provider of card and coin-operated reprographics equipment and services
to the academic and public library markets in New England, New York and
Florida. Copico provides and services copiers, laser printers and microform
reader-printers for libraries of colleges, universities and graduate schools.
Copico also is the sole provider of reprographics services to the New York
public library system, as well as other public libraries.     
   
  The Amerivend and Copico acquisitions have been accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting.

                            (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND THE BUSINESS
 
  Basis of Presentation--The accompanying combined financial statements
include the accounts of Sun Services of America, Inc. (Sun Services) and R.
Bodden Coin-Op-Laundry, Inc. (Bodden) (collectively, the Companies). The
Companies are 100% owned by the same shareholder and are under common
management.
 
  Nature of Business--The Companies are engaged in the coin operated laundry
business throughout Florida. The majority of the Companies' customers are
apartment complexes and laundromats. The Companies lease coin operated laundry
equipment to their customers for percentages of the monies collected. The
majority of the Companies purchases of coin route laundry equipment are from
one supplier.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Unaudited Combined Interim Financial Statements--The accompanying combined
financial information as of March 31, 1997 and for the three month periods
ended March 31, 1996 and 1997 is unaudited. The interim financial statements
have been prepared on the same basis as the accompanying annual financial
statements. In the opinion of management, such interim financial information
reflects adjustments consisting of normal and recurring adjustments necessary
for a fair presentation of such financial information. The unaudited results
of operations for the interim periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any
other interim period or for the full year.
 
  Principles of Combined Financial Statements--The combined financial
statements include the accounts of Sun Services and Bodden, including the 1996
Acquisitions (Note 3) from their respective acquisition dates. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in combination.
 
  Cash and Cash Equivalents--The Companies consider all highly liquid
investments with original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
 
  Concentration of Credit Risk--Financial instruments which potentially expose
the Companies to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade
receivables generated by the Companies as a result of the selling and leasing
of laundry machines. To minimize this risk, ongoing credit evaluations of
customer's financial condition are performed and reserves are maintained. The
Companies typically do not require collateral.
 
  Inventory--Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market with cost
determined using the first-in, first-out method.
 
  Property and Equipment--Property and equipment are recorded at cost.
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred;
expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized. Depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets.
 
  Intangible Assets--Intangible assets primarily consist of various non-
compete agreements and goodwill recorded in connection with the 1996
Acquisitions (Note 3). The non-compete agreements are amortized using the
straight-line method over the life of the agreements, which range from five to
seven years. Goodwill is amortized over fifteen years from the acquired
companies respective dates of acquisition.
 
  Income Taxes--Sun Services and Bodden have elected to be taxed as "S
corporations" as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. This results in the
pass-through of any taxable income directly to the shareholder. Accordingly,
no taxes are provided on the earnings attributable to the Companies.

  Earnings Per Share--Given the capital structure of the Companies, historical
earnings per share information is not considered meaningful or relevant and
has not been presented in the accompanying financial statements.
 
  Use of Estimates--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
3. ACQUISITIONS
 
  During 1996, the Companies acquired certain assets of a number of coin-
operated laundry businesses (the 1996 Acquisitions). The 1996 Acquisitions
were paid in cash, with the exception of the Coin Laundry Leasing acquisition,
which also included a deferred note payable of $350. The 1996 Acquisitions
were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the
purchase price assigned to the assets and liabilities assumed was their fair
market values on the respective acquisition dates. Purchase price in excess of
the fair value of net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill. The
Companies' combined financial statements includes the results of the 1996
Acquisitions from their respective acquisition dates. The 1996 Acquisitions
purchase price allocation is summarized as follows:

Facility, payable in thirty-five equal monthly installments beginning March
1996; and a $584 Term Loan B Facility, payable in thirty-seven monthly
installments of $6 beginning March 1996, with a balloon payment due April
1999. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are restricted to only provide for
working capital requirements of the Companies and fund future permitted
acquisitions and capital expenditures. As of December 31, 1996, $346 was
available to be borrowed under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement
expires in April of 1999.
 
  A portion of the proceeds from the Credit Agreement were used to pay down
the Companies' outstanding debt under the previous credit facilities.
 
  Interest--Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at 1% above
the banks prime interest rate (the "Prime Rate") (9.25% rate as of December
31, 1996). In addition, the Companies shall pay 3% of annual gross revenues
generated by all permitted acquisitions financed by proceeds from the
Acquisition Note.
 
  Termination--The Credit Agreement may be terminated at any time after the
first two years without a penalty or premium. If borrowings under the Credit
Agreement are pre-paid within the first two years, the Companies must pay a
prepayment penalty of up to 2% of the total amounts available under the Credit
Agreement. In addition, the Companies are required to pay the bank 3% of the
average monthly gross revenues of the permitted acquisition multiplied by the
number of months remaining in the term of the Credit Agreement.
 
  Amendment--In January of 1997, the Credit Agreement was amended to increase
the borrowings available under the line of credit to $850.
 
  As of December 31, 1996, the scheduled future principal payments of long-
term debt are as follows:

9. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN
 
  The Companies maintain a qualified profit sharing/401(k) plan (the "Plan")
covering substantially all employees. The Companies' contributions to the Plan
are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Costs under the Plan amounted
to $4 for the year ended December 31, 1996.
 
10. COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES
 
  Operating Leases--The Companies lease facilities under three non-cancelable
operating leases. Total lease expense incurred for the year ended December 31,
1996 was approximately $74. These leases expire during fiscal 1998. The future
minimum payments under these leases are $77 and $55 in 1997 and 1998,
respectively.
 
  Guaranteed Commissions--The Companies operate coin laundry routes under
various lease agreements in which the Companies are required to make minimum
guaranteed commission payments to the respective property owners. During 1996,
the Companies made guaranteed commission payments of approximately $150 as
required under certain lease agreements.
 
  Litigation--The Companies are involved in various litigation proceedings
arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the
Companies ultimate liability, if any, under pending litigation would not
materially affect their financial condition or the results of their
operations.
   
11. RELATED PARTY     
 
  Periodically, the Companies make loans to their sole shareholder. The
balance of these shareholder loans is included on the accompanying balance
sheet as due from shareholder. The due from shareholder balance at December
31, 1996 included approximately $36 of interest imputed at 6%.
   
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENT (UNAUDITED)     
 
  On April 17, 1997, Mac-Gray Corporation acquired all of the outstanding
common stock of Sun Services of America, Inc. and R. Bodden Coin-Op-Laundry,
Inc., in exchange for 612,026 shares of its common stock ($7,797 approximate
value), approximately $2,170 in cash, $850 of a deferred obligation and the
assumption of outstanding indebtedness of the Companies of approximately
$2,787.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.     
 
  In accordance with Section 145 of the DGCL, Article VII of the Mac-Gray
Charter provides that no director of Mac-Gray shall be personally liable to
Mac-Gray or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty
as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty
of loyalty to Mac-Gray or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments or stock
redemptions or repurchases, or (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit. In addition, the Mac-Gray
Charter provides that if the DGCL is amended to authorize the further
elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of
a director of Mac-Gray shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent
permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.
 
  Article V of the Mac-Gray By-laws provides for indemnification by Mac-Gray
of its directors and officers and certain non-officer employees under certain
circumstances against expenses (including attorneys fees, judgments,
penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred in
connection with the defense or settlement of any threatened, pending or
completed legal proceeding in which any such person is involved by reason of
the fact that such person is or was an officer or employee of Mac-Gray unless
it is determined that such person did not act in good faith and in a manner he
or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
Mac-Gray, and, with respect to criminal actions or proceedings, such person
had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
 
  Mac-Gray has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its
directors reflecting the foregoing provisions of the Mac-Gray By-laws and
requiring the advancement of expenses in proceedings involving directors in
most circumstances and also intends to purchase directors' and officers'
insurance to provide additional protections to the directors and officers of
Mac-Gray in certain circumstances.
   
ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES     
   
  During the past three years, Mac-Gray has issued unregistered securities to

laundry businesses.     
   
  (4) In April 1997, pursuant to Addendums to certain Stock Option Agreements,
Mac-Gray assumed Mac-Gray Co.'s obligations with respect to options to

  (7) On March 31, 1998, Mac-Gray entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with
Copico, Inc. a Massachusetts corporation ("Copico"), and certain persons who
hold, or will hold, all of the shares of the capital stock of Copico, which
agreement provides for the acquisition by Mac-Gray Services, Inc., a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Mac-Gray, of all of the issued and outstanding shares of
capital stock of Copico. In addition to cash consideration (less the repayment
of debt), Mac-Gray agreed to issue, at the closing of the acquisition of
Copico, to such holders of Copico capital stock, an aggregate of 250,000
shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock. The holders of such Copico capital stock,
together with the number of shares of Mac-Gray Common Stock to be received by
such holder (in parentheses), are: Peter B. Finn (2,500), Edward J. Goulart
(67,900), Ronald R. Jalbert (58,200), Robert W. LaRoche (67,900), David Luongo
(2,500), Joseph J. Tischler (2,500), and Massachusetts Capital Resource

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS     
 
  (a) Mac-Gray hereby undertakes:
 
    (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
  post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
 
      (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
    Securities Act of 1933;
       
      (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
    the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent
    post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
    aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
    in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
    increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
    dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
    registered) may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
    Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in
    volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the
    maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
    Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement;     
 
      (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
    distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or
    any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
 
    (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
  Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
  to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered
  therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
  to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
 
    (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
  any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
  termination of the offering;
       
  (b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
Mac-Gray, Mac-Gray has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by Mac-Gray in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, Mac-Gray will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     Re:  Legality of Securities to be Registered
          Under Registration Statement on Form S-1
          ----------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     This opinion is rendered to you in connection with the preparation of the 
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-45899) (the "Registration 
Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
relating to the proposed issuance and sale, from time to time, by certain 
selling stockholders of Mac-Gray Corporation (the "Company") of up to 967,914 
shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value per share 
(the "Common Stock").

     In connection with rendering this opinion, we have examined the Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended through the
date hereof and on file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware,
the Bylaws of the Company, as amended through the date hereof, such records of
the corporate proceedings of the Company as we deemed material, the Registration
Statement and the exhibits thereto, and such other certificates, receipts,
records and documents as we considered necessary for the purposes of this
opinion. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures,
the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as certified, photostatic or facsimile copies, the confirmation
of public officials and others. As to facts material to our opinion, we have
relied upon certificates or telephonic confirmations of public officials and
certificates, documents, statements and other information of the Company or
representatives or officers thereof.

     We are attorneys admitted to practice in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
We express no opinion concerning the laws of any jurisdictions other than the 
laws of the United States of America and the Delaware General Corporation law, 
and also express no opinion with respect to the blue sky or securities laws of 
any state, including Delaware.

     Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that under the Delaware
General Corporation Law, pursuant to which the Company was incorporated, the
Shares have been authorized for issuance and are validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the 
Registraton Statement and to the reference to us with respect to this opinion 
under the heading "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus which is a part of such 
Registration Statement.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                        /s/ GOODWIN, PROCTER & HOAR LLP

                                   ARTICLE I
                              THE CREDIT FACILITY

  1.01.  The Credit Facility.  The Credit Facility shall consist of a revolving
         -------------------                                                   
line of credit and term loan facility pursuant to which the Banks may from time
to time make Loans to the Borrowers and/or issue Letters of Credit on behalf of
the Borrowers.

         (a)  Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan Facility; Revolving Loans.
              ----------------------------------------------------------------
Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Banks shall make
loans to the Borrowers under the Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loan Facility
(the "Revolving Loans") and/or issue Letters of Credit on behalf of the
Borrowers at the Principal Office of the Agent, on any Business Day prior to
April 23, 2001, in such amounts as the Borrowers may request; provided, however,
that the aggregate of all Revolving Loans and all Letters of Credit outstanding
shall at no time exceed $90,000,000.  Within the foregoing limits, subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may obtain Revolving
Loans and/or Letters of Credit, repay Revolving Loans in whole or in part and
obtain Revolving Loans again on one or more occasions.  Each Revolving Loan
advanced upon the Prime Rate Option shall be in the principal amount of Thirty
Thousand Dollars ($30,000) or an integral multiple thereof.  Each Revolving Loan
advanced upon the LIBOR Option shall be in the principal amount of Thirty
Thousand Dollars ($30,000) or an integral multiple thereof.  Each Revolving Loan
advanced upon the COF Option shall be in the principal amount of One Thousand
Dollars ($1,000) or an integral 


                                      -1-
<PAGE>
 
multiple thereof. The Revolving Loans shall be evidenced by the Revolving Note
of the Borrowers, dated as of the date on which the initial Revolving Loan is
made. The Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize each Bank to make or cause to
be made, on a schedule attached to the Revolving Note or on the books of each
Bank, at or following the time of making each Revolving Loan and of receiving
any payment of principal, an appropriate notation reflecting such transaction
and the then aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Loans. The
amount so noted shall constitute prima facie evidence as to the amount owed by
the Borrowers with respect to principal of the Revolving Loans. Failure of any
Bank to make any such notation shall not, however, affect any obligation of the
Borrowers hereunder or under the Revolving Note.

       (b)  Request for Loans.  The Borrowers will give the Agent at least three
            -----------------                                                   
(3) Business Day's prior telephonic or written notice, specifying the amount and
date of each Loan or Letter of Credit requested, the Interest Rate Option
selected by the Borrower with respect thereto pursuant to Section 1.02 and, for
LIBOR Loans or COF Loans, the Interest Period selected by the Borrower with
respect thereto pursuant to Section 1.03 or 1.04, as applicable.  Any telephonic
notice given under this Section will be followed by written notice given not
later than the next following Business Day.  The Agent may rely in good faith on
the identity and authority of any person providing such telephonic notice.

       (c)  Repayment of Principal; Premium.  The Borrowers shall repay in full
            -------------------------------                                    
all Loans and all interest thereon and all other charges incurred in connection
therewith upon the Termination Date. The Borrowers may prepay, at any time,
without penalty, the whole or any portion of (i) any Prime Rate Loan provided
that each such prepayment, if less than the aggregate amount of all Prime Rate
Loans then outstanding, shall be in the amount of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000)
or an integral multiple thereof or (ii) any LIBOR Loans provided at each such
payment, if less than the aggregate amount of all LIBOR Loans then outstanding,
shall be in the amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof provided,
further, however, that any prepayments of LIBOR Loans other than on the last day
of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period shall be subject to the provisions of
Section 1.15(b)(i) herein.  In the event that at any time the Loans outstanding
are in an amount which exceeds the aggregate amount of all Loans and Letters of
Credit permissible hereunder, the Borrowers will forthwith prepay so much of the
Loans as may be required so that the aggregate of all Loans and Letters of
Credit outstanding will not exceed the amount permissible hereunder.  The Banks
may, at their discretion, renew the senior secured Credit Facility described in
this Agreement by extending the Termination Date.  Neither the inclusion in this
Agreement of financial covenants relating to periods after the Termination Date
or any other terms and provisions hereof, however, will be deemed to create any
implication that the Banks are required to renew such revolving line of credit.
In the event that Borrowers prepay, without the express consent of the Banks,
all principal and all interest outstanding under this Credit Facility or
otherwise terminate this facility within the first three years after the Closing
Date following or in connection with the financing of Borrowers by one or more
lenders none of which is currently a Bank hereunder, then in such event, a
premium shall be due and payable in the amount of one half of one percent (0.5%)
of the aggregate amount of the total Credit Facility; provided, however, that
Borrowers may prepay all of the principal and interest outstanding under this
Credit Facility at any time without penalty if the funds used to make such
payment are the proceeds of a public offering of debt or equity securities of
the Borrowers or a 


                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
private placement of debt or equity securities of the Borrowers, including a
placement in accordance with Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, provided further, however, that any prepayments of LIBOR Loans other
than on the last day of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period shall be subject to
the provisions of Section 1.15(b)(i) herein.

       (a)  Except as otherwise provided in this Section, the Borrowers shall
have the right at their option from time to time to prepay the Loans in whole or
part

            (i)    at any time with respect to any Loan to which the Prime Rate
Option applies;

            (ii)   on the last day of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period with
respect to Loans to which a LIBOR Option applies;

            (iii)  on the last day of the applicable COF Interest Period with
respect to Loans to which a COF Option applies.

       (d)  Interest Payments.  The Borrowers will pay interest on the principal
            -----------------                                                   
amount of the aggregate Loans outstanding from time to time, from the date of
the initial Loan until payment of all Loans and the Note in full and the
termination of this Agreement, such interest to be payable monthly in arrears on
each Payment Date, commencing with the first such Payment Date after the date of
this Agreement, and at the end of each LIBOR Interest Period or COF Loan period,
but not less than quarterly, with regard to LIBOR Loans, and on the date of
payment of the Loans in full.

       (e)  Commitment Fee.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, in connection
            --------------                                                      
with the establishment and maintenance of the revolving line of credit, a
commitment fee (the "Commitment Fee") equal to (i) one-half of one percent
(0.5%) per annum of the average daily unused portion of the Credit Facility
during the preceding calendar quarter (or such shorter period as has elapsed
from the Closing Date to the end of the current calendar quarter) for each
business day during such period with respect to which the aggregate balance of
the Loans outstanding as of the close of each such day was less than
$35,000,000; or (ii) one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) for each business day
during such period with respect to which the aggregate balance of the Loans
outstanding as of the close of each such day equaled or exceeded $35,000,000.
The Commitment Fee shall be payable in arrears, on the first day of each of the
months of April, July, October and January in each year, commencing July 1,
1998.

       (f)  Use of Loan Proceeds.  The proceeds of each Revolving Loan will be
            --------------------                                              
used by the Borrowers solely to (i) refinance the secured indebtedness of Mac-
Gray Services, Inc., Sun Services of America, Inc. and R. Bodden Coin-Op
Laundry, Inc.; (ii) fund the acquisitions of Amerivend Corporation and Copico,
Inc. ("Copico"); (iii) fund one or more standby or documentary letters of
credit; (iv) support general working capital needs; and (v) for Permitted
Acquisitions.

       (g)  Letters of Credit.  As part of the Credit Facility, the Agent will
            -----------------                                                 
issue on behalf of the Borrowers, at the request of the Borrowers, one or more
standby or documentary letters of credit; 


                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
provided, however, that (a) each such letter of credit issued by the Agent on
behalf of the Borrower (individually a "Letter of Credit" and collectively the
"Letters of Credit") shall by its terms expire no later than the earlier of (i)
one year from the date of issuance thereof or (ii) 30 days prior to the
Termination Date, and (b) the aggregate amount of outstanding Letters of Credit
shall not exceed $10,000,000 at any time. Upon the issuance of any Letter of
Credit in an amount greater than $50,000 by the Agent, the Agent will promptly
notify each Bank of the date of issuance, amount and expiration date of each
such Letter of Credit. As a condition of the issuance of each such Letter of
Credit, the Borrowers shall (1) execute the Agent's prevailing letter of credit
documentation, as in effect from time to time, and (2) pay to the Agent the
Agent's prevailing letter of credit issuance, maintenance, commission and
negotiation fee(s), as in effect from time to time and (3) pay (or have paid) in
quarterly installments in advance to the Agent an annual total commission equal
to 130 basis points of the aggregate face amount of each such Letter of Credit.
Any and all amounts which the Agent is required to advance pursuant to the
Letters of Credit shall become, at the time the amounts are advanced, Prime Rate
Loans from the Banks. The Agent will notify the Banks of the amount required to
be advanced pursuant to the Letters of Credit. Before 12:00 noon (Boston time)
on the date of any advance that the Agent is required to make pursuant to the
Letters of Credit, each Bank shall make available such Bank's Proportionate
Share of such advance in immediately-available funds to the Agent. The Borrowers
agree to be bound by the terms of the Agent's application and/or agreement for
Letters of Credit and the Agent's written regulations and customary practices
relating to Letters of Credit.

         (h)  Amortization. On the third anniversary of the Closing, the
              ------------
principal amounts of any and all Revolving Loans then outstanding shall be
converted (the "Conversion Date") to a five-year amortization schedule with a
weighted amortization schedule in years four and five after the Closing as
follows: (i) during the first year following the Conversion Date, ten percent
(10%) of the balance of the aggregate Loans outstanding on the Conversation Date
shall be due and payable in quarterly installments in arrears on the first
business day of each calendar quarter; (ii) during the second year following the
Conversion Date, fifteen percent (15%) of the balance of the aggregate Loans
outstanding on the Conversion Date shall be due and payable in quarterly
installments in arrears on the first business date of each calendar quarter; and
(iii) a final payment of all Loans then outstanding, including all principal and
interest (as well as other fees and expenses due to the Banks) due and payable
on the second anniversary of the Conversion Date. On and after Conversion Date,
the Borrower will retain the right to select Interest Rate Options in accordance
with Section 1.02.

         (i)  Closing Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the benefit
              -----------
of the Banks at the Closing a fee in connection with the establishment of this
facility in the amount of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000.00) which may
be paid monthly in advance by the Borrowers in twelve equal installments, with
the first such payment to be made at the Closing.

  1.02.  Interest Rate Options.  The Borrowers shall pay interest in respect of
         ---------------------                                                 
the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loans as selected by it at the
Prime Rate Option or LIBOR Option set forth below applicable to the Loans.  The
Agent's determination of a rate of interest and any change therein shall in the
absence of manifest error be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto.  If
at any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Bank exceeds
such Bank's highest lawful rate, 


                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
the rate of interest on such Bank's Loan shall be limited to such Bank's highest
lawful rate.

         (a)   Interest Rate Options. The Borrowers shall have the right to
               ---------------------
select from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Loans:

               (i)   Prime Rate Option: A fluctuating rate per annum (computed
                     -----------------
on the basis of a year of 360 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed)
equal to the Prime Rate minus 0.5%, such interest rate to change automatically
from time to time effective as of the effective date of each change in the Prime
Rate.

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

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

         (b)   Rate Quotations. The Borrowers 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 indication 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.

  1.03.  LIBOR Interest Periods.  At any time when the Borrowers shall select,
         ----------------------                                               
convert to or renew a LIBOR Loan, the Borrowers shall notify the Agent thereof
at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such LIBOR Loan
by submitting a Loan request.  The loan request shall specify an interest period
during which such LIBOR Loan Option shall apply, such periods to be one, two,
three, or six months (or quarterly for periods longer than three months) or a
maximum of twelve months ("LIBOR Interest Period"), provided, that:

         (a)   any LIBOR Interest Period which would otherwise end on a date
which is not a Business Day shall be extended to the next succeeding Business
Day unless such Business Day falls in the next calendar month, in which case
such LIBOR Interest Period shall end on the next preceding Business Day;

         (b)   any LIBOR Interest Period which begins on the last day of a
calendar month for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the
subsequent calendar month during which such LIBOR Interest Period is to end
shall end on the last Business Day of such subsequent month;

         (c)   the Borrowers shall not select, convert to or renew a LIBOR
Interest Period for any portion of the Loans that would end after the
Termination Date; and

         (d)   in the case of the renewal of a LIBOR Loan at the end of a LIBOR
Interest Period, the first day of the new LIBOR Interest Period shall be the
last day of the preceding LIBOR Interest Period, without duplication in payment
of interest for such day.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
  1.04   COF Interest Periods.  At any time when the Borrowers shall select,
         --------------------                                               
convert to or renew a COF Loan, the Borrowers shall notify the Agent thereof at
least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such COF Loan by
delivering a Loan request.  The Loan request shall specify an interest period
during which such COF Loan Option shall apply, such periods to be one to sixty
months ("COF Interest Period"), provided, that all COF Loans will terminate on
or prior to the Termination Date and provided further that:

         (a)   any COF Interest Period which would otherwise end on a date which
is not a Business Day shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day
unless such Business Day falls in the next calendar month, in which case such
COF Interest Period shall end on the next preceding Business Day;

         (b)   any COF Interest Period which begins on the last day of a
calendar month for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the
subsequent calendar month during which such COF Interest Period is to end shall
end on the last Business Day of such subsequent month;

         (c)   the Borrower shall not select, convert to or renew a COF Interest
Period for any portion of the Loans that would end after the Termination Date.

         (d)   in the case of the renewal of a COF Loan at the end of a COF
Interest Period, the first day of the new COF Interest Period shall be the last
day of the preceding COF Interest Period, without duplication in payment of
interest for such day.

  1.05.  Interest After Default.  To the extent permitted by applicable law,
         ----------------------                                             
upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any
principal, interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder shall bear interest
for each day thereafter until paid in full (before and after judgment) at a rate
per annum which shall be equal to two percentage points (2%) above the rate of
interest otherwise applicable with respect to such amount or the Prime Rate if
no rate of interest is otherwise applicable, but in no event in excess of the
highest rate permitted under applicable law.  The Borrowers acknowledge that
such increased interest rate 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.

  1.06.  LIBOR Unascertainable.  If
         ---------------------     

         (a)  on any date on which LIBOR would otherwise be determined, any Bank
shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error) that:

              (i)  adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining
LIBOR, or

              (ii) a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely
affects the London interbank market relating to LIBOR, or


                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
         (b)  if at any time any Bank shall have determined (which determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that:

              (i)    the making, maintenance or funding of any LIBOR Loan 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)   LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to
such Bank of the establishment or maintenance of any LIBOR Loan, or

              (iii)  after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the
relevant amount in U.S. Dollars for the relevant LIBOR Interest Period for a
LIBOR Loan are not available to such Bank with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan
in the London interbank market,

              (iv)   then in the case of any event specified in subsection (a)
above, any Bank shall promptly so notify the Agent and the Borrowers thereof and
in the case of any event specified in subsection (b) above, such Bank shall
promptly so notify the Agent in writing as to the specific circumstances of such
event, and the Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice to the other
Banks and the Borrowers. 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 given by the Agent or (B) such Bank
in the case of such notice given by such Bank the right of the Borrowers to
select, convert to or renew a LIBOR Loan shall be suspended until the Agent
shall have later notified the Borrowers or such Bank shall have later notified
the Agent, of the Agent's or such Bank's, as the case may be, determination
(which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that the
circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist. If at
any time the Agent makes a determination under subsection (a) or (b) of this
Section 1.06, and the Borrowers have previously notified the Agent of their
selection of, conversion to or renewal of a LIBOR Loan and such LIBOR Loan has
not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for
selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Prime Rate Option otherwise
available with respect to such Loans. If any Bank notifies the Agent of a
determination under subsection (b) of this Section 1.06, the Borrowers shall,
subject to the Borrowers' indemnification obligations under Section 1.15(b), as
to any LIBOR Loan of the Banks on the date specified in such notice either
convert such LIBOR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan otherwise available with respect to
such Loan or prepay such Loan in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement. Absent due notice from the Borrower of conversion or prepayment such
Loan shall automatically be converted to a Prime Rate Loan upon such specified
date.

  1.07.  Inadequacy of COF Loan Pricing. If with respect to any Interest Period
         ------------------------------                                        
for any COF Loan:

         (i)  no timely quotations of the applicable rate are offered to the
Banks by the Reference Banks for funds as contemplated herein, or

         (ii) the COF Rate as determined by the Agent will not adequately and
fairly reflect the 


                                      -7-
<PAGE>
 
cost to the Banks of maintaining or funding a COF Loan, then the Agent shall
forthwith give notice thereof to Borrowers, whereupon until the Agent notifies
Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist,
(A) the obligation of the Banks to make COF Loans shall be suspended, and (B)
Borrowers shall either (1) repay in full the then outstanding principal amount
of the COF Loans, together with accrued interest thereon on the last day of the
then current Interest Period applicable to the COF Loans, or (2) convert the COF
Loans to LIBOR Loans or Prime Rate Loans in accordance with Section 1.03 on the
                                                            ------------
last day of the then-current Interest Period applicable to such COF Loans.

  1.08.  Selection of Interest Rate Options.  If the Borrowers fail to select a
         ----------------------------------                                    
LIBOR Interest Period or a COF Interest Period in accordance with the provisions
of Sections 1.03 and 1.04 in the case of renewal of a LIBOR Loan or a COF Loan,
the Borrowers shall be deemed to have converted such Loan or portion thereof to
a Prime Rate Loan commencing upon the last day of that LIBOR Interest Period or
COF Interest Period, as the case may be.  If an Event of Default shall occur and
be continuing, the Agent may in its discretion limit the Borrowers to the Prime
Rate Option.

  1.09.  Payments.  All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of
         --------                                                        
principal, interest, commitment fees, closing fee, Letter of Credit fees,
Agent's fees or other fees or amounts due from the Borrowers hereunder shall be
payable prior to 12:00 noon (Boston time) on the date when due without
presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived by the Borrowers, and without setoff, counterclaim or other
deduction of any nature.  Such payments shall be made to the Agent at the
Principal Office of the Agent for the ratable accounts of the Banks with respect
to the 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 in accordance with Section 6.04 hereunder. All monies received by the
Banks hereunder shall be applied (i) first to reasonable fees, charges, costs
and expenses payable to the Banks under this Agreement, any of the Security
Documents or any Letter of Credit documents; (ii) next to interest then accrued
on account of the Loans; and only thereafter (iii) to principal of the Loans;
and finally (iv) to any and all other obligations and liabilities owing to
either Bank by the Borrower, however or whenever arising.  Interest shall be
calculated on the basis of the actual number of days and a year of 360 days.

  1.10.  Pro Rata Treatment of Banks.  Each borrowing, and each selection of,
         ---------------------------                                         
conversion to or renewal of any Loan or Interest Rate Option and each payment or
prepayment by the Borrower with respect to principal, interest, commitment fees,
closing fee, Letter of Credit fees, or other fees or amounts due from the
Borrower hereunder to the Banks with respect to the Loans, except for the
Agent's fees, shall be made in proportion to the Loans outstanding from each
Bank and if no such Loans are then outstanding, in proportion to the
Proportionate Share of each Bank.

  1.11.  Availability.  The proceeds of all Loans shall be credited by the Agent
         ------------                                                           
to a general deposit account of any of the Borrowers with the Agent.

  1.12.  Charges Against Accounts.  The Agent may charge any general deposit
         ------------------------                                           
account of any of the Borrowers at the Agent with the amount of all payments of

               (iii)  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 Note 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
reasonable 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 method employed in good faith) by such Bank (which
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) to be necessary to
compensate such Bank for such increase in cost, reduction of income or
additional 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

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
LIBOR Loans subject to the LIBOR Option or COF Loans subject to the COF Option)
which such Bank sustains or incurs as a consequence of any

               (i)   payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any LIBOR
Loan on a day other than the last day of the corresponding LIBOR Interest Period
or any COF Loan (whether or not such payment or prepayment is mandatory,

due),

               (ii)  attempt by the Borrowers to revoke (expressly, by later
inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any notice relating to Loan
requests or prepayments; or

               (iii) default by the Borrowers in the performance or observance
of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, including without limitation any failure of the Borrowers to pay when
due (by acceleration or otherwise) any principal, interest, commitment fee or
any other amount due hereunder.

               (iv)  If any Bank sustains or incurs any such loss or expense it
shall from time to time notify the Borrowers and the Agent of the amount
determined in good faith by such Bank (which determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error and 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 


                                     -10-

detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by
the Borrowers to such Bank ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

         -------                                                               
of credit described in this Agreement by extending the Termination Date.
Neither the inclusion in this Agreement of financial covenants relating to
periods after the Termination Date or any other terms and provisions hereof,
however, will be deemed to create any implication that the Banks are required to
renew such revolving line of credit.

  3.09.  Litigation; Claims.  Except as set forth on Schedule 3.09 hereto, as of
         ------------------                          -------------              
the date hereof, there are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations
pending or, to any Borrower's knowledge, threatened against any Borrower before

challenge the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any of the other
Loan Documents or any action taken or to be taken in connection with the

material impairment of the right or ability of the Borrowers, on a consolidated
basis, to carry on their operations as now conducted or proposed to be
conducted.

  3.10.  Labor Matters.  Each Borrower is not a party to any collective

and hours and other laws related to employment of employees of such Borrower,
and there are no arrears in the payment of wages, withholding or social security

other applicable governmental laws and regulations, including without limitation
bonding requirements and requirements for the filing of applicable reports,

Material Adverse Effect.

         (b) No "prohibited transaction" or "accumulated funding deficiency" or
"reportable event" has occurred with respect to any "single employer plan" of
such Borrower which would have a Material Adverse Effect.  No Borrower,

included in a "multiemployer plan" as to which such Borrower or any "commonly
controlled entity" would have liability if such Borrower or any "commonly
controlled entity" were to withdraw therefrom (as each of the quoted terms is

with GAAP consistently applied.  Mac-Gray Corporation has no liability,
contingent or otherwise, not disclosed in the Financial Statements or in any

Effect.  Since the last Statement Date there has not been, nor has there been an
event which is likely to cause, a Material Adverse Effect.

Borrower has set aside on its books sufficient reserves with respect thereto or

and which have become due are being paid or adequate accruals have been set up
therefor.  Each Borrower is not delinquent in the payment of any material tax,
assessment or governmental charge and except as set forth on Schedule 3.13

hereof, each Borrower does not own any securities or other equity or debt
interests in any corporation, partnership or other business entity.

otherwise occupies or uses (the "Premises"), nor has such Borrower released,
disposed of or transported or contracted with any party for the disposal or
transport of any Hazardous Substances at sites other than the Premises, in each
such case except in compliance with all Environmental Laws (as defined below),
except where the failure to so comply results from a minor infraction which will
not give rise to the assessment of any fine or penalty against such Borrower or
the imposition of any lien against any of the properties or assets of such
Borrower, and which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

         (b) To their knowledge, each Borrower has not received any citation,
directive, letter or other communication, written or oral, or any notice of any
proceedings, claims or lawsuits under any Environmental Laws (each an

         (c) Each Borrower has obtained and maintained in full force and effect
all necessary permits, licenses and approvals required by any Environmental Laws
applicable to the business operations conducted on the Premises and is in
compliance with all such permits, licenses and approvals, except where the
failure to so comply will not give rise to the imposition of any lien against
any of the properties or assets of such Borrower and which could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

extending credit for the 

                                     -19-

Borrower herein or in any other Loan Document contains any misrepresentation of
a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make such
representation or warranty not misleading when made.  No Borrower has knowledge

basis, which would have a Materially Adverse Effect, or which is likely in the
future to have a Material Adverse Effect, and which has not been set forth in
this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents or otherwise disclosed in writing
to the Banks on or prior to the date hereof.  Each Bank hereby acknowledges that

thereon in at least such amounts and with such deductibles and against at least
such risks (including hazard) as may be reasonably requested by the Banks from

rights, licenses, leases and franchises the loss of which would not have a
Material Adverse Effect; provided that nothing in this Section 4.01(d)(ii) shall
prevent the abandonment or termination of any right, license, lease or
franchise, if such Borrower shall have determined that such abandonment or
termination is in the best interest of such Borrower and not disadvantageous to
the Banks; and

             (iii) duly observe and conform to all applicable material laws,
statutes, regulations, decrees, judgments, orders, writs and other requirements

             --------------------

any one or more of the following rights and remedies (all of which shall be
cumulative):

        (a) Declare the entire unpaid principal amount of the Note then
outstanding, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts
payable under this Agreement, and all other Indebtedness of the Borrower to the
Banks, forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall become forthwith due
and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of
which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

        (b) Terminate the revolving line of credit established by Section 1.01
of this Agreement.

        (c) Exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the
Uniform Commercial Code.  The Agent may enter upon the Premises or any of same
and may take physical possession of the Collateral or render the Collateral
unusable by process of law or peaceably without process of law.  Each Borrower
shall peaceably surrender the Collateral and shall upon the request from 

                                     -31-
<PAGE>
 
the Agent assemble it and make it available to the Agent at a place or places
designated by the Agent which is or are reasonably convenient to such Borrower
and the Agent. To the extent permitted by law, the Agent may maintain possession
of any Collateral on any property owned, leased by or licensed to such Borrower,
or remove same or any part thereof to such place or places as the Bank may
elect. The Borrowers will also deliver to the Agent upon request all documents
of title and other instruments relating to the Collateral. Each Borrower waives
all rights which it would otherwise have had under law to prohibit entry to any
premises or to require notice of any replevin or retaking, all to the extent
that the same is permitted by law. The Agent may with only such demand,
advertising or notice as may be required by law, sell and deliver any and all
Collateral held by it for its account at any time or times in one or more
private or public sales, for cash or credit or otherwise, at such price and upon
such terms as the Agent deems advisable in its sole discretion. Notice of any
public sale shall be sufficient if it describes the Collateral to be sold in
general terms, stating the amounts thereof and the location and nature of the
properties covered by the security interests and the prior liens thereon, and is
published, at least once, not less than ten (10) days prior to the sale in any
newspaper of general circulation in the greater Boston, Massachusetts
metropolitan area and such other metropolitan area which the Agent may elect.
All requirements of reasonable notice to the Borrowers shall be met if such
notice is sent to the Borrower, in the manner provided in this Agreement below,
at least ten (10) days before the time of such sale or disposition. The Banks
may be the purchasers at any such sale, if it is public, free from any right of
redemption. The proceeds of sale shall be applied first to the costs of
retaking, refurbishing, storing and selling any Collateral hereunder and to
other costs of collection, and then to the payment of obligations of the
Borrowers to the Banks. The Banks shall be entitled to apply any collections on
account of the Note first to reasonable fees, costs and charges accrued to the
date of receipt, next to accrued interest and only thereafter to principal. Any
excess shall be returned to the Borrowers, and the Borrowers shall remain
jointly and severally liable for any deficiency.

        (d) Enforce the provisions of this Agreement by appropriate legal
proceedings, and the Banks may recover damages caused by any breach by any
Borrower of the provisions of this Agreement, including court costs, reasonable
attorneys' fees and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the
enforcement of the obligations of any Borrower hereunder.

        (e) Exercise all rights and remedies hereunder, under each of the other
Loan Documents and under any other agreement with the Banks; and exercise all
other rights and remedies which the Banks may have under applicable law.

        (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, described in Section 5.01(i) hereof, the
entire unpaid principal amount of the Note then outstanding, together with all
interest accrued and unpaid on all such amounts, and all other amounts payable
under this Agreement, shall be immediately due and payable without presentment,
demand, protest, or notice of any kind.

  5.03. Set-off.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under
        -------
applicable law and not by way of limitation of any rights, upon the occurrence
and continuance of any Default by any Borrower, the Banks are hereby authorized
at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest 

                                     -32-
<PAGE>
 
or other notice of any kind to any Borrower or to any other person or entity,
all of which are hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and
apply any and all deposits and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing
by either Bank to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against and
on account of the obligations and liabilities of any Borrower to either Bank
under this Agreement or otherwise, irrespective of whether or not the Bank shall
have made any demand hereunder and although said obligations, liabilities or
claims, or any of them, may then be contingent or unmatured and without regard
for the availability or adequacy of other Collateral. Each Borrower also grants
to the Banks a security interest in and to all its deposits and all securities
or other property in the possession of the Banks from time to time, to secure
the prompt and full payment and performance of any and all obligations to the
Banks, and, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Banks may exercise
all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.


                                   ARTICLE VI
                                     AGENCY
                                        
  6.01.  Authorization of Agent and Relationship.  Each Bank hereby appoints
         ---------------------------------------
State Street Bank and Trust Company as Agent and State Street Bank and Trust
Company hereby accepts such appointment. The appointment may only be terminated
as expressly provided in this Agreement.  Each Bank hereby authorizes the Agent
to take all action on its behalf and to exercise such powers and perform such
duties under this Agreement as are expressly delegated to the Agent by its
terms, together with all powers reasonably incidental hereto.  The Agent shall
have only those duties and responsibilities which are of a solely mechanical and
administrative nature and which are expressly specified in this Agreement, and
it may perform such duties by or through its agents or employees, but shall not
by reason of this Agreement have a fiduciary duty in respect of any Bank.  As to
any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Agent is not
required to exercise any discretion or to take any action, but is required to
act or to refrain from acting (and is fully protected in so acting or refraining
from acting) upon the instructions of the Banks, as the case may be.  Those
instructions shall be binding upon all Banks, but the Agent is not required to
take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is
contrary to this Agreement or applicable law.

  Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Banks hereby grants to the Agent a
power of attorney, and also grants to the Agent the right to delegate its
authority as attorney to any other person, whether or not an officer or employee
of the Agent.

  6.02.  Disclaimer of Agent.  The Agent makes no representation or warranty,
         -------------------
and assumes no responsibility with respect to the due execution, legality,
validity, sufficiency, enforceability or collectibility of this Agreement or any
other Security Document.  The Agent assumes no responsibility for the financial
condition of the Borrower, or for the performance of the obligations of the
Borrower under this Agreement or any other Security Document.  The Agent assumes
no responsibility with respect to the accuracy, authenticity, legality,
validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any documents, papers, materials or
other information furnished by the Borrower to the Agent on behalf of the Banks.
The Agent shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or
observance of any of the 

                                     -33-
<PAGE>
 
terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or as to
the use of the proceeds of the Loans or (unless the officers or employees of the
Agent acting in their capacity as officers or employees on the Borrower's
accounts have actual knowledge thereof, or have been notified thereof in writing
by the Borrower) of the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default.
Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall
be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Agent
under or in connection with the Agreement except for its or their own negligence
or willful misconduct. The Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder
as any other Bank, and may exercise the same as though it were not performing
the duties and functions delegated to it as Agent hereunder.

  6.03.  Bank's Funding Obligations.
         ---------------------------

        (a) Each Bank shall advance to the Agent prior to 12:00 p.m. (Boston
time), in immediately-available funds, such Bank's Proportionate Share in the
portion of the Loan to be advanced by the Agent.  If such funds are not received
at such time, but all applicable conditions set forth in Article I hereof have
been satisfied, each Bank authorizes and requests the Agent to advance for the
Bank's account, pursuant to the terms hereof, the Bank's respective
Proportionate Share in such portion of the Loan and agrees to reimburse the
Agent in immediately-available funds for the amount thereof prior to 2:00 p.m.
(Boston time) on the day any portion of the Loan is advanced hereunder;
provided, however, that the Agent is not authorized to make any such advance for
the account of any Bank who has previously notified the Agent in writing that
such Bank will not be performing its obligations to make further advances
hereunder; and provided, further, that the Agent shall be under no obligation to
make any such advance.

        (b) Unless the Agent has actual knowledge that a Bank has not made or
will not make available to the Agent the applicable loan amount required from
such Bank, the Agent shall be entitled to assume that such amount has been or
will be received from such Bank when so due and the Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower
a corresponding amount.  If such amount is not in fact received by the Agent
from such Bank and the Agent has made available a corresponding loan amount to
the Borrower as aforesaid, such Bank shall pay to the Agent on demand an amount
equal to the product of (i) the Prime Rate per annum multiplied by (ii) the
amount that should have been paid to the Agent by such Bank on such Loan Date
and was not, multiplied by (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the
number of days that have elapsed from and including such Loan Date to but
excluding the date on which the amount is received by the Agent from such Bank
and the denominator of which is 360.  A certificate of the Agent containing
details of the amount owing by a Bank under this Section shall be binding and
conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

        (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.03(b), if any Bank fails
to make available to the Agent its Proportionate Share of any Loan (such Bank
being herein called the "Defaulting Bank"), the Agent shall forthwith give
notice of such failure by the Defaulting Bank to the Borrower and the other
Banks.  The Agent shall then forthwith give notice to the other Banks that any
Bank may make available to the Agent all or any portion of the Defaulting Bank's
Proportionate Share of 

                                     -34-
<PAGE>
 
such Loan in the place of the Defaulting Bank, but in no way shall any other
Bank or the Agent be obligated to do so. If more than one Bank gives notice that
it is prepared to make funds available in the place of a Defaulting Bank in such
circumstances and the aggregate of the funds which such Banks (herein
collectively called the "Contributing Banks") and individually called the
"Contributing Bank") are prepared to make available exceeds the amount of the
Loan which the Defaulting Bank failed to make, then each Contributing Bank shall
be deemed to have given notice that it is prepared to make available its
Proportionate Share of such Loan based on the Contributing Banks' relative
commitments to advance in such circumstances. If any Contributing Bank makes
funds available in the place of a Defaulting Bank in such circumstances, then
the Defaulting Bank shall pay to any Contributing Bank making the funds
available in its place, forthwith on demand, any amount advanced on its behalf
together with interest thereon at the rate applicable to such Loan from the date
of advance to the date of payment, against payment by the Contributing Bank
making the funds available of all interest received in respect of the Loan from
the Borrower. The failure of any Bank to make available to the Agent its
Proportionate Share of any Loan as required herein shall not relieve any other
Bank of its obligations to make available to the Agent is Proportionate Share of
any Loan as required herein.

  6.04. Payments by the Borrowers.  All payments (except the Agent's fees) made
        -------------------------
by or on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement shall be made to and
received by the Agent and shall be distributed by the Agent to the Banks as soon
as possible upon receipt by the Agent and in any event within five (5) business
days of receipt.  Subject to Section 6.05, the Agent shall distribute:

        (a) payments of interest in accordance with each Bank's Proportionate
Share of the Loans;

        (b) repayments of principal in accordance with each Bank's Proportionate
Share of the Loans; or

        (c) all other payments received by the Agent (except the Agent's fees)
including, without limitation, amounts received upon the realization of
Collateral, in accordance with each Bank's Proportionate Share of the Loans
provided, however, that with respect to proceeds of realization, no Bank shall
receive an amount in excess of the amounts owing to it in respect of the
Obligations.

  6.05. Payments by Agent.  The following provisions shall apply to any and all
        -----------------
payments made by the Agent to the Banks hereunder:

        (a) the Agent shall be under no obligation to make any payment (whether
in respect of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) to any Bank until an
amount in respect of such payment has been received by the Agent from the
Borrowers;

        (b) If the Agent receives less than the full amount of any payment of
principal, interest, fees or other amount owing by the Borrowers under this
Agreement, the Agent shall have no obligation to remit to each Bank any amount
other than such Bank's Proportionate Share of that amount which is the amount
actually received by the Agent;

                                     -35-
<PAGE>
 
        (c) if any Bank advances more or less than its Proportionate Share of
the Loans, such Bank's entitlement to such payment shall be increased or
reduced, as the case may be, in proportion to the amount actually advanced by
such Bank;

        (d) the Agent acting reasonably in good faith shall, after consultation
with the Banks in the case of any dispute, determine in all cases the amount of
all payments to which each Bank is entitled and such determination shall, in the
absence of manifest effort, be binding and conclusive; and

        (e) upon request, the Agent shall deliver a statement detailing any of
the payments to the Banks referred to herein.

  Unless the Agent has actual knowledge that the Borrowers have not made or will
not make a payment to the Agent for value on the date in respect of which such
Borrower has notified the Agent that the payment will be made, the Agent shall
be entitled to assume that such payment has been or will be received from such
Borrower when due and the Agent may (but shall not be obliged to), in reliance
upon such assumption, pay the Banks corresponding amounts.  If the payment by
such Borrower is in fact not received by the Agent on the required date and the
Agent has made available corresponding amounts to the Banks, the Borrowers
shall, without limiting their other obligations under this Agreement, indemnify
the Agent against any and liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be
imposed on or incurred by the Agent as a result.  A certificate of the Agent
with respect to any amount owing by any Borrower under this Section shall be
prima facie evidence of the amount owing in the absence of manifest error.

  6.06. Direct Payments.  The Banks agree among themselves that, except as
        ---------------
otherwise provided for in this Agreement, all sums received by a Bank relating
to this Agreement by virtue of the Collateral, whether received by voluntary
payment, by the exercise of the right of set-off or compensation or by
counterclaim, cross-action or as proceeds of realization of any Collateral or
otherwise, shall be shared by each Bank in its Proportionate Share under the
Loans and each Bank undertakes to do all such things as may be reasonable
required to give full effect to this Section, including without limitation, the
purchase from other Banks of such notes or a portion thereof by the Bank who has
received an amount in excess of the Proportionate Share under the Loans as shall
be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess amount ratably in
its Proportionate Share under the Loans with the other Banks.  If any such which
is so shares is later recovered from the Banks who originally received it, the
Bank shall restore its Proportionate Share under the Loans of such sum to such
Banks, without interest.  If any Bank (a "Receiving Bank") shall obtain any
payment of monies due under this Agreement as referred to above, the Receiving
Bank shall forthwith remit such payment to the Agent and, upon receipt, the
Agent shall distribute such payment in accordance with the provisions of Section
6.05.

  6.07. Administration of the Loans.  The Agent may take the following actions
        ---------------------------
upon notice to the Banks, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement:

        (a) subject to Section 6.08, exercise any and all rights of approval
conferred upon the Banks by this Agreement;

                                     -36-
<PAGE>
 
        (b) give prompt and timely written notice to the Borrowers in respect of
any amounts due or overdue under the terms of this Agreement and of any other
matter in respect of which notice may be required, permitted, necessary or
desirable in accordance with or pursuant to this Agreement;

        (c) amend, modify or waive any of the terms of this Agreement (including
waiver of an Event of Default) if such amendment, modification or waiver is
approved in advance by the Banks (including the Agent) holding at least two-
thirds in dollar amount of the combined total commitment to fund Loans hereunder
and if such action is not otherwise provided for in Section 6.08;

        (d) engage a professional as permitted by Section 6.10(a);

        (e) decide to accelerate the amounts outstanding under this Agreement or
the Security Documents as permitted thereby; and

        (f) pay insurance premiums, taxes and any other sums as may be
reasonably required to protect the interests of the Banks.

  6.08. Unanimous Consent of Banks.  The Agent may take the following actions
        --------------------------
only if the prior unanimous consent of the Banks is obtained, unless otherwise
specified herein:

        (a) amend, modify, discharge, terminate or waive any of the terms of
this Agreement or the Security Documents if such amendment, modification,
discharge, termination or waiver would have a material adverse effect on the
Collateral or on the rights of the Banks under this Agreement or the Security
Agreement;

        (b) amend, modify, discharge, terminate or waive any of the term of this
Agreement if such amendment, modification, discharge, termination or waiver
would increase the amount of a Loan, amend the purpose of a Loan, reduce the
interest rate applicable to a Loan, reduce the fees payable with respect to a
Loan, extend any date fixed for payment of principal or interest relating to a
Loan or extend the Maturity Date of the Loan;

        (c) amend Section 6.08; and

        (d) declare an Event of Default or take action to enforce performance of
the Obligations of the Borrower and to realize upon the Collateral including the
appointment of a receiver, lease or sale given by the Security Agreement or by
law and take foreclosure proceedings and/or pursue any other legal remedy
necessary provided, however, that in the event the Banks are unable to agree
          --------  -------
unanimously upon any of the foregoing actions, either Bank, fifteen days
subsequent to such Bank's notification to all other Banks of such Bank's
intention to so act, may, subject to all applicable provisions to this Agreement
or, any of the Security Documents, proceed unilaterally with any of the items
described in this Section 6.08 absent the unanimous consent of the Banks.

  6.09. Reliance by Borrowers.  As between the Borrowers, on the one hand, and
        ---------------------
the Agent and the 

                                     -37-
<PAGE>
 
Banks, on the other hand:

        (a) all statements, certificates, consents and other documents which the
Agent purports to deliver on behalf of the Banks shall be binding on each of the
Banks, and the Borrower shall not be required to ascertain or confirm the
authority of the Agent in delivering such documents;

        (b) all certificates, statements, notices and other documents which are
delivered by the Borrower to the Agent in accordance with this Agreement shall
be deemed to have been duly delivered to each of the Banks;

        (c) all payments which are delivered by the Borrower to the Agent in
accordance with this Agreement shall be deemed to have been duly delivered to
each of the Banks;

        (d) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Borrower's consent to the appointment of any Successor Agent must be obtained,
but the Borrower's consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

  6.10. Rights of Agent.
        ---------------

        (a) In administering the Loans, the Agent may retain, at the expense of
the Banks if such expenses are not recoverable from the Borrowers, such counsel,
auditors and other experts and agents as the Agent may select, in its sole
discretion, acting reasonably and in good faith after consultation with the
Banks.

        (b) The Agent shall be entitled to rely on any communication, instrument
or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed by
the proper individual or individuals, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be
protected in relying as to legal matters upon opinions of independent legal
advisors selected by it.  The Agent may also assume that any representation made
by the Borrowers is true and that no Event of Default has occurred unless the
officers or employees of the Bank acting as Agent, acting in their capacity as
officers or employees responsible for the Borrowers' accounts have actual
knowledge to the contrary or have received notice to the contrary from any other
party to this Agreement.

        (c) The Agent may, without any liability to account, accept deposits
from and lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, or other
business with the Borrower, as if it were not the Agent.

        (d) Except in its own right as a Bank, the Agent shall not be required
to advance its own funds for any purpose, and in particular shall not be
required to pay with its own funds insurance premiums, taxes or public utility
charges or the cost of repairs or maintenance with respect to the assets which
are the subject matter of the Security Agreement, nor shall it be required to
pay with its own funds the fees of counsel, auditors, experts or agents engaged
by it as permitted hereby.

                                     -38-
<PAGE>
 
        (e) The Agent shall be entitled to receive a fee for acting as Agent, as
agreed between the Agent and the Borrowers from time to time.

  6.11. Acknowledgments, Representations and Covenants of Banks.
        -------------------------------------------------------

        (a) It is acknowledged and agreed by each Bank that it has itself been,
and will continue to be, solely responsible for making its own independent
appraisal of and investigations into the financial condition, creditworthiness,
property, affairs, status and nature of the Borrowers.  Accordingly, each Bank
confirms to the Agent that it has not relied, and will not hereafter rely, on
the Agent (a) to check or inquire on its behalf into the adequacy or
completeness of any information provided by the Borrowers under or in connection
with this Agreement or the transactions herein contemplated (whether or not such
information has been or is hereafter distributed to such Bank by the Agent) or
(b) to assess to keep under review on its behalf the financial condition,
creditworthiness, property, affairs, status or nature of the Borrowers.

        (b) Each Bank represents and warrants that it has the legal capacity to
enter into this Agreement pursuant to its charter and any applicable law and has
not violated its charter, bylaw or other documents or any applicable law by so
doing.

        (c) Each Bank agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Borrowers), ratably according to its Proportionate Share from
and against any and 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 any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or related
Documents or the transactions therein contemplated, provided that no Bank shall
be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting
from the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Bank agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly
upon demand for its Proportionate Share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including
counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preservation of any
rights of the Agent or the Banks under, or the enforcement of, or legal advice
in respect of rights or responsibilities under this Agreement, to the extent
that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrowers. The
obligation of the Banks to indemnify the Agent shall survive the termination of
this Agreement.

        (d) Each of the Banks acknowledges and confirms that in the event the
Agent does not receive payment in accordance with this Agreement, it shall not
be the obligation of the Agent to maintain the Loans in good standing nor shall
any Bank have recourse to the Agent in respect of any amounts owing to such Bank
under this Agreement.

        (e) Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to advance its
Proportionate Share of Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement is
independent and in no way related to the obligation of any other Bank hereunder.

                                     -39-
<PAGE>
 
        (f) Except to the extent recovered by the Agent from the Borrowers,
promptly following demand therefor, each Bank shall pay to the Agent an amount
equal to such Bank's Proportionate Share of any and all reasonable costs,
expenses, claims, losses and liabilities incurred by the Agent in connection
with this Agreement and the Security Documents (including, without limitation,
the collection or enforcement thereof), except for those incurred by reason of
the Agent's negligence or willful misconduct.

        (g) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Credit Agreement to the
contrary, the Banks (other than the Agent) shall not be entitled to participate
to the full extent of their Proportionate Share with respect to any Revolving
Loan arising from any Letter of Credit issued for the account of the Borrowers
in an amount less than $50,000.  The Banks further agree that any Letter of
Credit fees paid by the Borrowers to the Agent on account of that certain
standby Letter of Credit issued in favor of Jeff Heunink for the account of the
Borrowers shall be shared by the Banks as follows:  Agent shall receive and
retain a fee equal to 25 basis points (as an additional Agent's fee), and the
remaining basis points shall be distributed to the Banks in accordance with
their Proportionate Share.

  6.12. Collective Action of the Banks.  Except as otherwise provided herein,
        ------------------------------
each of the Banks hereby acknowledges that to the extent permitted by applicable
law, the Security Agreement and the remedies provided under the Security
Documents to the Banks are for the benefit of the Banks collectively and acting
together and not severally and further acknowledges that its rights hereunder
and under the Security Agreement are to be exercised not severally, but by the
Agent upon the decision of the Banks as required by this Agreement.
Accordingly, notwithstanding any of the provisions contained herein or in the
Security Agreement, each of the Banks hereby covenants and agrees that it shall
not be entitled to take any action hereunder or thereunder including, without
limitation, any declaration of default hereunder or thereunder but that any such
action shall be taken only by the Agent with the prior written agreement of the
Banks.  Each of the Banks hereby further covenants and agrees that upon any such
written agreement being given by the Banks, it shall co-operate fully with the
Agent to the extent requested by the Agent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the absence of instructions from the Banks and where in the sole opinion of the
Agent, acting reasonably and in good faith, the exigencies of the situation
warrant such action, the Agent may without notice to or consent of the Banks
take such action on behalf of the Banks as it deems appropriate or desirable in
the interest of the Banks.

  6.13. Successor Agent.  Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a
        ---------------
Successor Agent as provided in this Section, and subject to Section 6.07.4, the
Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days' written notice thereof to the
Banks and the Borrowers, and may be removed at any time by the Banks upon 30
days' written notice.  Upon receipt of notice by the Banks of the resignation of
the Agent, or upon giving notice of termination to the Agent, the Banks may,
within 21 days, appoint a successor from among the Banks or, if no Bank is
willing to accept such an appointment, from among other institutions which each
have combined capital and reserves in excess of $250,000,000.  If no Successor
Agent has been so appointed and has accepted such appointment within 21 days
after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation or receiving of
notice of termination, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks,
appoint a Successor Agent.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent
hereunder by a Successor Agent, the retiring Agent shall pay the Successor Agent
any unearned portion 

                                     -40-
<PAGE>
 
of any fee paid to the Agent for acting as such, and the Successor Agent shall
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its
further duties and obligations as Agent under this Agreement and the other
Security Documents. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent,
the provisions of this Article shall continue to inure to its benefit and be
binding upon it as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it
was Agent hereunder.

  6.14. Provisions Operative Between Banks and Agent Only.  Except as otherwise
        -------------------------------------------------
provided herein, the provisions of this Article relating to the rights and
obligations of the Banks and the Agent inter se shall be operative as between
the Banks and the Agent only, and the Borrowers shall not have any rights or
obligations under or be entitled to rely for any purpose upon such provisions.

                                  ARTICLE VII
                                 MISCELLANEOUS
                                        
  7.01.  Further Assurances.  Each Borrower shall do all things and deliver all
         ------------------
instruments reasonably requested by the Agent to protect or perfect any security
interest granted or intended to be granted hereunder.  If any Borrower fails
promptly to comply with any such request, or if any Event of Default shall have
occurred hereunder, such Borrower authorizes the Agent to execute, in the name
or on behalf of such Borrower, any financing statement or other document or
instrument that the Agent may require to perfect, protect or establish any
security interest or lien interest to which the Bank may be then entitled
hereunder and further authorizes the Agent to sign the Borrower's name on the
same.  Each Borrower appoints (but only for the purposes of protecting the
Banks' interests in the Collateral or the Banks' rights to receive payments
under this Agreement or the Note or otherwise exercising any of its rights
hereunder or causing the performance and fulfillment of the obligations and
agreements intended to be performed and fulfilled by the Borrower under this
Agreement) the Agent as such Borrower's attorney-in-fact with the power: at any
time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to endorse the
name of the Borrower on any checks, notes, drafts, or other forms of payment or
security relating to any Collateral that may come into the possession of the
Banks; at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to
sign the name of such Borrower on invoices or bills of lading, drafts against
customers, notices of assignment, verifications and schedules; at any time when
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to demand, collect, receive

              ------

its own name, from time to time in the Banks' discretion, for the purpose of
carrying out the terms of this Security Agreement, to take any and all
appropriate action and to execute any and all instruments which may be necessary
or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, and, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Borrower hereby gives the Banks
the power and right, on behalf of such Borrower, without notice to or assent by
such Borrower, to do the following:

          (i) in the case of any Account, at any time when the authority of such

possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or
other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Account, Instrument,

premiums therefor and the costs thereof; and

          (iii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, (A) to direct any party liable for any payment under any of
the  Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due
thereunder directly to the Banks or as the Banks shall direct; (B) to ask or
demand for, collect, receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys,

and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the
Collateral as fully and completely as though the Banks were the absolute owners

expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Banks
deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the
Banks' liens thereon and to effect the intent of this Security Agreement, all as
fully and effectively as such Borrower might do.

     Each Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or
cause to be done 

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
by virtue hereof. This Power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and
shall be irrevocable.

          (b) Other Powers.  Each Borrower also authorizes the Banks, at any
              ------------                                                  
time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with the sales provided
for in Section 7 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of
conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

          (c) No Duty on Banks' Part.  The powers conferred on the Banks
              ----------------------                                    
hereunder are solely to protect the Banks' interests in the Collateral and shall
not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.  The Banks shall be
accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the
exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be responsible to the Borrowers for any act or failure
to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     6.   Performance by Banks of Borrowers' Obligations.  If any Borrower fails
          ----------------------------------------------                        
to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and the Banks,
as provided for by the terms of this Security Agreement, shall itself perform or
comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the
expenses of the Banks incurred in connection with such performance or
compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the
Prime Rate plus 5%, shall be payable by such Borrower to the Banks on demand and
shall constitute Obligations secured hereby.

     7.   Remedies.   If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
          --------                                                             
Banks may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it
in this Security Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing,
evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured
party under the Code.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Banks, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest,
advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred
to below) to or upon any Borrower or any other Person (all and each of which
demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such
circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the
Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give
option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the
Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one
or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's
board or office of the Banks or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it
may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit
or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.  The Banks shall
have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted
by law, 

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 
upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the
Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity or redemption in such Borrower,
which right or equity is hereby waived or released. Each Borrower further
agrees, at the Banks' request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available
to the Banks at places which the Banks shall reasonably select, whether at any
Borrower's premises or elsewhere. The Banks shall apply the net proceeds of any
such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after
deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or
incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way
relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Banks hereunder, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment
in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the Banks may elect,
and only after such application and after the payment by the Banks of any other
amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section
9-504(1)(c) of the Code, need the Banks account for the surplus, if any, to the
Borrowers. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower waives all
claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Banks arising out of the
exercise by the Banks of any of their rights hereunder. If any notice of a
proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such
notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at lease 10 days before
such sale or other disposition. Each Borrower shall remain liable for any
deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral
are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any
attorneys employed by the Banks to collect such deficiency.

     8.   Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral.  The Banks'
          ---------------------------------------------------------             
sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of
the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Code or otherwise,
shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Banks deals with similar
property for its own account.  Neither the Banks nor any of their directors,
officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or
realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or
shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral
upon the request of any Borrower or otherwise.

     9.   Powers Coupled with an Interest.  All authorizations and agencies
          -------------------------------                                  
herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers
coupled with an interest.

     10.  Severability.  Any provision of this Security Agreement which is
          ------------                                                    
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     11.  Paragraph Headings.  The paragraph headings used in this Security
          ------------------                                               
Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the
construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

     12.  No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  The Banks shall not by any act
          ------------------------------                                 
(except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 15 hereof), delay,
indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy
hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default or in any
breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof.  No failure to exercise, nor
any delay in exercising, on the part of the Banks, any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.  No single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  A
waiver by the Banks of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall
not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Banks would otherwise
have on any future occasion.  The rights and remedies herein provided are
cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any
rights or remedies provided by law.

     13.  Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns.  None of the terms or
          ----------------------------------------------                       
provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each Borrower and
the Banks, provided that any provision of this Security Agreement may be waived
by the Banks in a written letter or agreement executed by the Banks or by telex
or facsimile transmission from the Banks.  This Security Agreement shall be
binding upon the successors and assigns of the Borrowers and shall inure to the
benefit of the Banks and their respective successors and assigns.

     14.  Governing Law.  This Security Agreement shall be governed by, and
          -------------                                                    
construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law of
such state.

in the possession of the holder shall at all times be held and treated as
collateral for the payment of this Note and any and all other liabilities
(direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, sole, joint or several, secured or
unsecured, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising) of the
Borrowers to the holder.  Regardless of the adequacy of collateral, the holder
may apply or set off such deposits or other sums against such liabilities at any
time.

  The Borrowers hereby waive presentment, demand, notice, protest and all other
demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance,
default or enforcement hereof and consents that no indulgence, and no
substitution, release or surrender of collateral, and no discharge or release of
any other party primarily or secondarily liable hereon, shall discharge or
otherwise affect the liability of the Borrowers.  No delay or omission on the
part of the holder in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver
of such right or of any other right hereunder, and a waiver of any such right on
any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right
on any future occasion.

  This Note is secured by the terms of a Security Agreement and Pledge Agreement
between the Banks and the Borrowers dated as of the date hereof and the Guaranty
and Security Agreement of the Borrowers' Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) and any and all collateral at any time granted to the Banks to secure
any obligations of any maker hereof.

  The Borrowers agree to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses
(including reasonable legal costs and attorneys' fees) incurred or paid by the
holder in enforcing this Note, including without limitation upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.

     3.   Stock Powers.  Concurrently with the delivery to the Banks of each
          ------------

deliver an undated stock power or other transfer document covering such
certificate or instrument, duly executed in blank with, if the Banks so
requests, signature guaranteed.

     4.   Representations and Warranties.  The Pledgor represents and warrants
          ------------------------------                                      
to the Banks that:

          (a) the Pledgor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good
and marketable title to, the Pledged Securities listed on Schedule I, free of
                                                          ----------

other person or entity, except for Permitted Liens; and

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
          (b) upon delivery to the Banks of the certificates and instruments
evidencing the Pledged Securities, the lien granted pursuant to this Pledge
Agreement will constitute a valid, perfected first priority lien on the Pledged
Securities enforceable as such against all creditors of the Pledgor and any
person or entities purporting to purchase any Collateral from the Pledgor.

     5.   Covenants.  The Pledgor covenants and agrees with the Banks that, from
          ---------                                                             
and after the date of this Pledge Agreement until the Obligations are paid in
full:

          (a) If the Pledgor shall, as a result of its ownership of the Pledged
Securities, become entitled to receive or shall receive any stock certificate or
other certificate or instrument (including, without limitation, any certificate
representing a stock dividend or a distribution in connection with any
reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any certificate or
instrument issued in connection with any reorganization), option or rights,
whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange
for any of the Pledged Securities or otherwise in respect thereof, the Pledgor
shall accept the same as the Banks' agent, hold the same in trust for the Banks
and deliver the same forthwith to the Banks in the exact form received, together
with an undated stock power or other transfer document covering such certificate
or instrument duly executed in blank and with, if the Banks so request,
signature guaranteed, to be held by the Banks hereunder as additional collateral
security for the Obligations.  Any sums paid upon or in respect of the Pledged
Securities upon the liquidation or dissolution of the issuer thereof shall be
paid over to the Banks to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral
security for the Obligations, and in case any distribution of capital shall be
made on or in respect of the Pledged Securities or any property shall be
distributed upon or with respect to the Pledged Securities pursuant to the
recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of the issuer thereof or
pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall be
delivered to the Banks to be held by it, subject to the terms hereof, as
additional collateral security for the Obligations. If any sums of money or
property so paid or distributed in respect of the Pledged Securities shall be
received by the Pledgor, the Pledgor shall, until such money or property is paid
or delivered to the Banks, hold such money or property in trust for the Banks,
segregated from other funds of the Pledgor, as additional collateral security
for the Obligations.

          (b) Without the prior written consent of the Banks, the Pledgor will
not (i) sell, assign, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any
option with respect to, the Collateral except in compliance with the provisions
of the Credit Agreement, or (ii) create, incur or permit to exist any lien or
option in favor of, or any claim of any person or entity with respect to, any of
the Collateral, or any interest therein, except for Permitted Liens.  The
Pledgor will defend the right, title and interest of the Banks in and to the
Collateral against the claims and demands of all person or entities whomsoever.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
          (c) At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the
Banks, and at the sole expense of the Pledgor, the Pledgor will promptly and
duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and take such
further actions as the Banks may reasonably request for the purposes of
obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Pledge Agreement and of the
rights and powers herein granted.  If any amount payable under or in connection
with any of the Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note,
other instrument or chattel paper, such note, instrument or chattel paper shall
be promptly delivered to the Banks, duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to
the Banks, to be held as Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement.

          (d) The Pledgor agrees to pay, and to save the Banks harmless from,
any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying
any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes (exclusive of taxes based on
income, gross receipts, franchise rights and related items) which may be payable
or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in
connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Pledge Agreement.

     6.   Cash Dividends; Voting Rights.  Notwithstanding the provisions of
          -----------------------------                                    
Section 5(a) hereof, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, the Pledgor
shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends and other cash distributions
paid by the issuer of any of the Pledged Securities in respect of the Pledged
Securities and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the
Pledged Securities, provided, however, that after written notice from the Banks
                    --------  -------                                          
to the Pledgor, no stockholder vote shall be cast or corporate right exercised
or other action taken by the Pledgor which, in the Banks' reasonable judgment,
would impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any
violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, the Notes or this Pledge
Agreement, except if and to the extent that the Pledgor is obligated to effect
such vote, exercise or action pursuant to an agreement between the Pledgor and
one or more third parties.

     7.   Rights of the Banks.  (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be
          -------------------                                                
continuing: (i) the Banks shall have the right to receive any and all cash
dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Securities and make application thereof
to the Obligations in such order as it may determine, and (ii) all of the
Pledged Securities shall be registered in the name of the Banks or its nominee,
and the Banks or their nominee may thereafter exercise (A) all voting,
corporate, and other rights pertaining to the Pledged Securities at any meeting
or otherwise and (B) any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription
and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged
Securities as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without
limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged
Securities upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization of
other fundamental change in the corporate or 

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
partnership structure of the issuer thereof or upon the exercise by the Pledgor
or the Banks of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged
Securities and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and
all of the Pledged Securities with any committee, depository, transfer agent,
registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as it may
determine), all without liability except to account for property actually
received by it, but the Banks shall have no duty to exercise any such right,
privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or
delay in so doing.

          (b) The rights of the Banks hereunder shall not be conditioned or
contingent upon the pursuit by the Banks of any right or remedy against the
Pledgor or against any other person or entity which may be or become liable in
respect of all or any part of the Obligations or against any other collateral
security therefor, guarantee thereof or right of offset with respect thereto.
The Banks shall not be liable for any failure to demand, collect or realize upon
all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so, nor shall it be
under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the
request of the Pledgor or any other person or entity or to take any other action
whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.

     8.   Remedies.  If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
          --------                                                            
Banks may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted in this
Pledge Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing
or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under
the Code.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Banks, without
demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or
notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or
upon the Pledgor, any guarantor or any other person or entity (all and each of
which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly
waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and
realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell,
assign, give option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver
the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in
one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, in the over-the-counter
market, at any exchange, broker's board or office of the Banks or elsewhere upon
such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may
deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of
any credit risk.  The Banks shall have the right upon any such public sale or
sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales,
to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right
or equity of redemption in the Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby
expressly waived and released.  The Banks shall apply any Proceeds from time to
time held by it and the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt,
appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and
expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping
of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to 

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
the Collateral or the rights of the Banks hereunder, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in
whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the Banks may elect, and
only after such application and after the payment by the Banks of any other
amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section
9-504(1)(c) of the Code, need the Banks account for the surplus, if any, to the
Pledgor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Pledgor waives all
claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Banks arising out of the
exercise by the Banks of any of their rights hereunder. If any notice of a
proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such
notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days
before such sale or other disposition.

     9.   Amendments with Respect to the Obligations.  The Pledgor shall remain
          ------------------------------------------                           
obligated hereunder, and the Collateral shall remain subject to the lien granted
hereby, notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against the
Pledgor, and without notice to or further assent by the Pledgor, any demand for
payment of any of the Obligations made by the Banks may be rescinded by the
Banks, and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the
liability of the Pledgor upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral
security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may,
from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified,
accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Banks, and the
Credit Agreement, Notes and any other document in connection therewith may be
amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Banks
may deem advisable from time to time, and any right of offset or other
collateral at any time held by the Banks for the payment of the Obligations may
be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.  The Banks shall have no
obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any other lien at any time held
by it as security for the Obligations or any property subject thereto.  The
Pledgor hereby expressly waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal,
extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of
reliance by the Banks upon this Pledge Agreement; the Obligations, and any of
them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred
in reliance upon this Pledge Agreement; and all dealings between the Pledgor and
the Banks shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been created or
consummated in reliance upon this Pledge Agreement.  The Pledgor hereby
expressly waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice
of default or nonpayment to or upon the Pledgor with respect to the Obligations.

     10.  Limitation on Duties Regarding Collateral.  The Banks' sole duty with
          -----------------------------------------                            
respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral
in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Code or otherwise, shall be to
deal with it in the same manner as the Banks deal with similar securities,
instruments and property for its own account.  Neither the Banks nor 

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
any of their directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for
failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any
delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose
of any Collateral upon the request of the Pledgor or otherwise.

     11.  Powers Coupled with an Interest.  All authorizations and agencies
          -------------------------------                                  
herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers
coupled with an interest.

     12.  Severability.  Any provision of this Pledge Agreement which is
          ------------                                                  
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     13.  Section Headings.  The paragraph headings used in this Pledge
          ----------------                                             
Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the
construction hereof or to be taken into consideration in the interpretation
hereof.

     14.  No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  The Banks shall not by any act
          ------------------------------                                 
(except by a written instrument pursuant to paragraph 15 hereof), delay,
indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy
hereunder or to have acquiesced in any default or Event of Default or in any
breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof.  No failure to exercise, nor
any delay in exercising, on the part of the Banks, any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.  No single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  A
waiver by the Banks of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall
not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Banks would otherwise
have on any future occasion.  The rights and remedies herein provided are
cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any
rights or remedies provided by law.

     15.  Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns; Governing Law.  None
          -------------------------------------------------------------       
of the terms or provisions of this Pledge Agreement, may be waived, amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by
the Pledgor and the Banks, provided that any provision of this Pledge Agreement
                           --------                                            
may be waived in writing by the Banks in a letter or agreement executed by the
Banks or by telex or facsimile transmission from the Banks. This Pledge
Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Pledgor and
shall inure to the benefit of the Banks and its successors and assigns.  This
Pledge Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in
accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth 

                                      -7-

of Massachusetts, United States of America, without giving effect to the
principles of conflicts of law of such commonwealth.

     16.  Notices.  Notices by either party hereto to the other shall be given

                                    --------

     Pursuant to the Credit Agreement between the Pledgor, certain other
borrowers, and the Banks dated April 23, 1998 (as amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"), the Banks have
agreed to make loans to the Pledgor and the other borrowers upon the terms and

notes (the "Notes") issued by the Pledgor and the other borrowers thereunder.
The Pledgor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Pledged Securities (as

contingent, due or to become due, or now existing or hereafter incurred, which
may arise under, out of, or in connection with, the Credit Agreement, the Notes
or this Pledge Agreement and any other document made, delivered or given in
connection therewith or herewith, whether on account of principal, interest,
reimbursement obligations, fees, indemnities, costs, expenses (including,
without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the
Banks) or otherwise.

listed on Schedule I hereto, together with all stock certificates, instruments,
          ----------

     2.   Pledge; Grant of Security Interest.  The Pledgor hereby delivers to
          ----------------------------------                                 
the Banks all the Pledged Securities and hereby grants to the Banks a first

acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations.

     3.   Stock Powers.  Concurrently with the delivery to the Banks of each
          ------------                                                      
certificate or instrument representing the Pledged Securities, the Pledgor shall
deliver an undated stock power or other transfer document covering such
certificate or instrument, duly executed in blank with, if the Banks so
requests, signature guaranteed.

     4.   Representations and Warranties.  The Pledgor represents and warrants
          ------------------------------                                      
to the Banks that:

          (a) the Pledgor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good
and marketable title to, the Pledged Securities listed on Schedule I, free of
                                                          ----------         
any and all security interests, liens or options in favor of, or claims of, any
other person or entity, except for Permitted Liens; and

                                      -2-
<PAGE>
 
          (b) upon delivery to the Banks of the certificates and instruments
evidencing the Pledged Securities, the lien granted pursuant to this Pledge
Agreement will constitute a valid, perfected first priority lien on the Pledged
Securities enforceable as such against all creditors of the Pledgor and any
person or entities purporting to purchase any Collateral from the Pledgor.

     5.   Covenants.  The Pledgor covenants and agrees with the Banks that, from
          ---------                                                             
and after the date of this Pledge Agreement until the Obligations are paid in
full:

          (a) If the Pledgor shall, as a result of its ownership of the Pledged
Securities, become entitled to receive or shall receive any stock certificate or
other certificate or instrument (including, without limitation, any certificate
representing a stock dividend or a distribution in connection with any
reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any certificate or
instrument issued in connection with any reorganization), option or rights,
whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange
for any of the Pledged Securities or otherwise in respect thereof, the Pledgor
shall accept the same as the Banks' agent, hold the same in trust for the Banks
and deliver the same forthwith to the Banks in the exact form received, together
with an undated stock power or other transfer document covering such certificate
or instrument duly executed in blank and with, if the Banks so request,
signature guaranteed, to be held by the Banks hereunder as additional collateral
security for the Obligations.  Any sums paid upon or in respect of the Pledged
Securities upon the liquidation or dissolution of the issuer thereof shall be
paid over to the Banks to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral
security for the Obligations, and in case any distribution of capital shall be
made on or in respect of the Pledged Securities or any property shall be
distributed upon or with respect to the Pledged Securities pursuant to the
recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of the issuer thereof or
pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall be
delivered to the Banks to be held by it, subject to the terms hereof, as
additional collateral security for the Obligations. If any sums of money or
property so paid or distributed in respect of the Pledged Securities shall be
received by the Pledgor, the Pledgor shall, until such money or property is paid
or delivered to the Banks, hold such money or property in trust for the Banks,
segregated from other funds of the Pledgor, as additional collateral security
for the Obligations.

          (b) Without the prior written consent of the Banks, the Pledgor will
not (i) sell, assign, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any
option with respect to, the Collateral except in compliance with the provisions
of the Credit Agreement, or (ii) create, incur or permit to exist any lien or
option in favor of, or any claim of any person or entity with respect to, any of
the Collateral, or any interest therein, except for Permitted Liens.  The
Pledgor will defend the right, title and interest of the Banks in and to the
Collateral against the claims and demands of all person or entities whomsoever.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
          (c) At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the
Banks, and at the sole expense of the Pledgor, the Pledgor will promptly and
duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and take such
further actions as the Banks may reasonably request for the purposes of
obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Pledge Agreement and of the
rights and powers herein granted.  If any amount payable under or in connection
with any of the Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note,
other instrument or chattel paper, such note, instrument or chattel paper shall
be promptly delivered to the Banks, duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to
the Banks, to be held as Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement.

          (d) The Pledgor agrees to pay, and to save the Banks harmless from,
any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying
any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes (exclusive of taxes based on
income, gross receipts, franchise rights and related items) which may be payable
or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in
connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Pledge Agreement.

     6.   Cash Dividends; Voting Rights.  Notwithstanding the provisions of
          -----------------------------                                    
Section 5(a) hereof, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred, the Pledgor
shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends and other cash distributions
paid by the issuer of any of the Pledged Securities in respect of the Pledged
Securities and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the
Pledged Securities, provided, however, that after written notice from the Banks
                    --------  -------                                          
to the Pledgor, no stockholder vote shall be cast or corporate right exercised
or other action taken by the Pledgor which, in the Banks' reasonable judgment,
would impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any
violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, the Notes or this Pledge
Agreement, except if and to the extent that the Pledgor is obligated to effect
such vote, exercise or action pursuant to an agreement between the Pledgor and
one or more third parties.

     7.   Rights of the Banks.  (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be
          -------------------                                                
continuing: (i) the Banks shall have the right to receive any and all cash
dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Securities and make application thereof
to the Obligations in such order as it may determine, and (ii) all of the
Pledged Securities shall be registered in the name of the Banks or its nominee,
and the Banks or their nominee may thereafter exercise (A) all voting,
corporate, and other rights pertaining to the Pledged Securities at any meeting
or otherwise and (B) any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription
and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged
Securities as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without
limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged
Securities upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization of
other fundamental change in the corporate or 

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
partnership structure of the issuer thereof or upon the exercise by the Pledgor
or the Banks of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged
Securities and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and
all of the Pledged Securities with any committee, depository, transfer agent,
registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as it may
determine), all without liability except to account for property actually
received by it, but the Banks shall have no duty to exercise any such right,
privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or
delay in so doing.

          (b) The rights of the Banks hereunder shall not be conditioned or
contingent upon the pursuit by the Banks of any right or remedy against the
Pledgor or against any other person or entity which may be or become liable in
respect of all or any part of the Obligations or against any other collateral
security therefor, guarantee thereof or right of offset with respect thereto.
The Banks shall not be liable for any failure to demand, collect or realize upon
all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so, nor shall it be
under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the
request of the Pledgor or any other person or entity or to take any other action
whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.

     8.   Remedies.  If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
          --------                                                            
Banks may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted in this
Pledge Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing
or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under
the Code.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Banks, without
demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or
notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or
upon the Pledgor, any guarantor or any other person or entity (all and each of
which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly
waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and
realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell,
assign, give option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver
the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in
one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, in the over-the-counter
market, at any exchange, broker's board or office of the Banks or elsewhere upon
such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may
deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of
any credit risk.  The Banks shall have the right upon any such public sale or
sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales,
to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right
or equity of redemption in the Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby
expressly waived and released.  The Banks shall apply any Proceeds from time to
time held by it and the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt,
appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and
expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping
of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to 

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
the Collateral or the rights of the Banks hereunder, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in
whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the Banks may elect, and
only after such application and after the payment by the Banks of any other
amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section
9-504(1)(c) of the Code, need the Banks account for the surplus, if any, to the
Pledgor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Pledgor waives all
claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Banks arising out of the
exercise by the Banks of any of their rights hereunder. If any notice of a
proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such
notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days
before such sale or other disposition.

     9.   Amendments with Respect to the Obligations.  The Pledgor shall remain
          ------------------------------------------                           
obligated hereunder, and the Collateral shall remain subject to the lien granted
hereby, notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against the
Pledgor, and without notice to or further assent by the Pledgor, any demand for
payment of any of the Obligations made by the Banks may be rescinded by the
Banks, and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the
liability of the Pledgor upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral
security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may,
from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified,
accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Banks, and the
Credit Agreement, Notes and any other document in connection therewith may be
amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Banks
may deem advisable from time to time, and any right of offset or other
collateral at any time held by the Banks for the payment of the Obligations may
be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.  The Banks shall have no
obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any other lien at any time held
by it as security for the Obligations or any property subject thereto.  The
Pledgor hereby expressly waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal,
extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of
reliance by the Banks upon this Pledge Agreement; the Obligations, and any of
them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred
in reliance upon this Pledge Agreement; and all dealings between the Pledgor and
the Banks shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been created or
consummated in reliance upon this Pledge Agreement.  The Pledgor hereby
expressly waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice
of default or nonpayment to or upon the Pledgor with respect to the Obligations.

     10.  Limitation on Duties Regarding Collateral.  The Banks' sole duty with
          -----------------------------------------                            
respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral
in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Code or otherwise, shall be to
deal with it in the same manner as the Banks deal with similar securities,
instruments and property for its own account.  Neither the Banks nor 

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
any of their directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for
failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any
delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose
of any Collateral upon the request of the Pledgor or otherwise.

     11.  Powers Coupled with an Interest.  All authorizations and agencies
          -------------------------------                                  
herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers
coupled with an interest.

     12.  Severability.  Any provision of this Pledge Agreement which is
          ------------                                                  
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     13.  Section Headings.  The paragraph headings used in this Pledge
          ----------------                                             
Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the
construction hereof or to be taken into consideration in the interpretation
hereof.

     14.  No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  The Banks shall not by any act
          ------------------------------                                 
(except by a written instrument pursuant to paragraph 15 hereof), delay,
indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy
hereunder or to have acquiesced in any default or Event of Default or in any
breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof.  No failure to exercise, nor
any delay in exercising, on the part of the Banks, any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.  No single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  A
waiver by the Banks of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall
not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Banks would otherwise
have on any future occasion.  The rights and remedies herein provided are
cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any
rights or remedies provided by law.

     15.  Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns; Governing Law.  None
          -------------------------------------------------------------       
of the terms or provisions of this Pledge Agreement, may be waived, amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by
the Pledgor and the Banks, provided that any provision of this Pledge Agreement
                           --------                                            
may be waived in writing by the Banks in a letter or agreement executed by the
Banks or by telex or facsimile transmission from the Banks. This Pledge
Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Pledgor and
shall inure to the benefit of the Banks and its successors and assigns.  This
