                             UNICCO SERVICE COMPANY

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 28, 1997

(1) INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UNICCO
Service Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries for the period subsequent to
October 17, 1997. Prior to that time, the financial statements were prepared on
a combined basis as all entities within the consolidated group (the Group) had
been owned, managed and controlled by common shareholders (see Note 2). All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements include all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring
accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the
Company and its subsidiaries at December 28, 1997 and the results of their
operations for the three and six month periods ended December 28, 1997 and 
December 29, 1996, respectively and their cash flows for the six month periods
ended December 28, 1997 and December 29, 1996.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, have been condensed or omitted as allowed by Regulation S-X, Article
10. The accompanying, unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's combined financial statements
for the year ended June 29, 1997 in its Registration Statement on Form S-4 as
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and declared effective on
February 6, 1998.

(2) REFINANCING

On October 17, 1997, UNICCO Service Company ("UNICCO") and certain of its
affiliates consummated a $105 million Series A Note Offering and entered into a
$45 million Amended Credit Facility. The net proceeds from the Series A Note
Offering and the Amended Facility were used to repay approximately $84.8 million
of indebtedness under the Group's existing credit facilities and $19.7 million
of certain other indebtedness, fees and expenses incurred in connection with
such financing. The Series A Note Offering matures on October 15, 2007. The
Notes are not redeemable prior to October 15, 2002. Thereafter, the Notes are
subject to redemption at any time at the option of the issuers at redemption
prices set forth in the Notes. Interest on the Notes accrues at

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 28, 1997

(2) REFINANCING (CONTINUED)

the rate of 9 7/8% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15
and October 15 of each year, commencing on April 15, 1998. The payment of
principal and interest on the Notes is subordinated in right to the prior
payment of all Senior Debt, as defined.

     Upon the occurrence of a change in control, as defined, the issuers are
obligated to make an offer to each holder of the Notes to repurchase all or any
part of such holders' Notes at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the
principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Covenants under
the Notes and the Amended Facility include limitations on certain sales of
assets, certain payments of dividends and incurrence of debt, certain mergers
and acquisitions and certain transactions with affiliates. With respect to the
Amended Facility, the Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios,
including defined levels of tangible net worth, earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, and others.

     During the second quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company recorded an
extraordinary loss of $3.0 million, net of state tax benefit related to the
refinancing discussed above. A total of $2.0 million of the loss was
attributable to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs in
connection with the refinancing of the Company's indebtedness in October 1997. A
total of $1.0 million of the extraordinary loss was attributable to the payment
of $11 million in October 1997 to settle certain indebtedness incurred in
connection with the June 1996 Ogden acquisition. The book value of such Note in
the Company's balance sheet at the settlement date (October 17, 1997) was $10.0
million.

     In connection with the Series A Note Offering, the shareholders of UNICCO
contributed their ownership interests in USC, Inc. to UNICCO. As a result, all
of the operations of the Group are conducted through UNICCO and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries. This transaction was accounted for in a manner similar to that in
pooling of interests accounting with the assets and liabilities being recorded
at their historical cost due to the exchange of stock occurring between entities
under common control. Further, in connection with the contribution of ownership
interests, USC, Inc. and its subsidiaries elected to change to the cash basis of
accounting for income tax purposes, consistent with the basis followed by UNICCO
Service Company. In connection with such change, the Company recorded deferred
tax assets and liabilities of $1.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively. In
addition, based upon a review of all available evidence, management recorded a
valuation allowance associated with the deferred tax assets of $.9 million.

(3) CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES

The Notes are guaranteed, fully, unconditionally and jointly and severally, by
each of UNICCO's directly and indirectly wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries.
UNICCO's wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary ("UFSCC") is not a guarantor of this
debt. Separate financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries and of UNICCO
Finance Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary which is the co-issuer of the Notes,
are not presented because management has determined that they would not be
material to investors. However, condensed consolidating financial information as
of June 29, 1997 and December 28, 1997 and the three and six month periods ended
December 28 1997 are presented. The following presents condensed combining
consolidating financial information (rounded to the nearest thousand) for (i)
UNICCO only, (ii) the guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis, (iii) the
nonguarantor subsidiary - UFSCC - and (iv) the Company on a consolidated basis.

     In the ordinary course of business, the Group is party to various types of

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 28, 1997 AND
DECEMBER 29, 1996

     Revenues. Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1998, which ended
December 28, 1997, were $137.4 million compared to $135.2 million for the second
quarter of fiscal 1997, which ended December 29, 1996, an increase of $2.2
million or 1.6%. This increase is primarily attributable to revenue increases in
the Company's Commercial Strategic Business Unit ("SBU") of $4.9 million. This
increase resulted from services performed under new contracts and the impact of
a full year's revenue from contracts acquired in the prior year. Revenues in the
Company's Canadian Division increased by $1.7 million between the comparable
quarters, primarily as a result of a new contract which commenced in the last
quarter of fiscal 1997. Revenues in the Company's Industrial SBU decreased $3.0
million. Revenues in the Company's Education/Government SBU decreased $.9
million. Revenues in the Company's Security SBU decreased $.5 million between
the comparable periods.

     Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1998
were $123.2 million, or 89.7% of revenues, compared to $121.7 million, or 89.9%
of revenues, for the second quarter of fiscal 1997. The decrease as a percentage
of revenues was primarily due to a decrease in direct labor as a percentage of
revenues. Direct labor as a percentage of revenues was 56.9% in the 1998 period,
compared to 58.5% in the comparable quarter in fiscal 1997. This decrease is
primarily attributable to tighter management of labor costs.

     Gross Profit. As a result of the foregoing, gross profit for the second
quarter of fiscal 1998 was $14.2 million, or 10.3% of revenues, compared to
$13.6 million, or 10.0% of revenues, for the comparable period in fiscal 1997.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 were $9.0 million,
or 6.6% of revenues, compared to $7.8 million, or 5.7% of revenues, for the
second quarter of fiscal 1997. The increase of $1.2 million was primarily
attributable to incremental costs associated with the assimilation of the
facility services business acquired from the Ogden Corporation in June 1996. The
majority of these incremental costs were incurred after the second quarter of
fiscal 1997. Salaries and wages increased $1.1 million as a result of the
additional headcount required to support the acquired Ogden business as well as
the impact of annual salary adjustments effective July 1, 1997. Additionally,
office and occupancy costs increased $.4 million between the comparable periods,
primarily as a result of increased computer lease costs, depreciation expense,
temporary help, relocation expense and recruiting expenses. Professional fees,
primarily consisting of external programming related costs, decreased $.3
million between the comparable periods as a result of the completion of the
systems integration of the acquired Ogden business during the last quarter of
fiscal 1997.

     Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization expense was $1.2 million in
each of the second quarters of fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1997.

     Income from Operations. As a result of the foregoing, income from
operations for the second quarter of fiscal 1998 was $4.1 million, or 2.9% of
revenues, compared to $4.6 million, or 3.4% of revenues for the second quarter
of fiscal 1997.

     EBITDA. As a result of the foregoing, EBITDA for the second quarter of
fiscal 1998 was $5.8 million, or 4.2% of revenues, compared to $6.4 million, or
4.7% of revenues, for the second quarter of fiscal 1997. EBITDA is defined as
earnings before provision for income taxes, interest expense, interest income
and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures used by other companies, depending upon the non-cash
charges included. When evaluating EBITDA, investors should consider that EBITDA
(i) should not be considered in isolation but together with other factors which
may influence operating and investing activities, such as changes in operating
assets and liabilities and purchases of property and equipment; (ii) is not a
measure of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles; (iii) should not be construed as an alternative or
substitute for income from operations, net income or cash flows from operating
activities in analyzing the Company's operating performance, financial position
or cash flows; and (iv) should not be used as an indicator of the Company's
operating performance or as a measure of its liquidity.

     Interest Expense. Interest expense for the second quarter of fiscal 1998
was $2.8 million, or 2.0% of revenues, compared to $2.9 million, or 2.2% of
revenues, for the second quarter of fiscal 1997. The decrease resulted from
lower borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facilities during the
second quarter of fiscal 1998.

     Income Taxes. USC, Inc. and its subsidiaries elected to change to the cash
basis of accounting for income tax purposes, consistent with the basis followed
by UNICCO Service Company. As a result, the Company recorded deferred tax assets
and liabilities of $1.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively. In addition,
based upon a review of all available evidence, management recorded a valuation
allowance associated with the deferred tax assets of $.9 million.

     Extraordinary Loss. During the second quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company
recorded an extraordinary loss of $3.0 million, net of state tax benefit. A
total of $2.0 million of the loss was attributable to the write off of
unamortized deferred financing costs in connection with the refinancing of the
Company's indebtedness in October 1997 (see Note 2 to the accompanying Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements). A total of $1.0 million of the extraordinary
loss was attributable to the payment of $11 million in October 1997 to settle
certain indebtedness incurred in connection with the June 1996 Ogden
acquisition. The book value of such Note in the Company's balance sheet at the
settlement date (October 17, 1997) was $10.0 million.

     Net Income (Loss). As a result of the foregoing, the net loss for the
second quarter of fiscal 1998 was ($3.0) million, or (2.1)% of revenues,
compared to income of $.9 million, or 7% of revenues, for the second quarter of
fiscal 1997.

COMPARISON OF SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 28, 1997 AND
DECEMBER 29, 1996

     Revenues. Revenues for the six months ended December 1997 were $272.1
million compared to $263.6 million for the comparable period, an increase of
$8.5 million, or 3.2%. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase of
$10.7 million of revenues in the Company's Commercial SBU. This increase
resulted from services performed under new contracts and the impact of a full
year's revenue from contracts acquired in the prior year. Revenues in the
Company's Canadian Division increased by $3.2 million between the comparable
periods, primarily as a result of a new contract which commenced in the last
quarter of fiscal 1997. Revenue in the Company's Industrial SBU decreased $3.2
million. Revenues in the Company's Education/Government SBU decreased $1.1
million. Revenues in the Company's Security SBU decreased $1.1 million. This
decrease was primarily due to $524,000 of revenues associated with
non-recurring services performed for a customer in the first quarter of fiscal
1997.

     Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues for the six months ended December 1997
were $244.4 million, or 89.8% of revenues, compared to $237.9 million, or 90.2%
of revenues, for the comparable period. The decrease is primarily due to a
decrease in direct labor as a percentage of revenues. Direct labor as a
percentage of revenues was 57.2% in the 1998 period, compared to 58.7% in the
comparable 1997 period. This decrease is primarily attributable to tighter
management of direct labor costs.

     Gross Profit. As a result of the foregoing, gross profit for the six months
ended December 1997 was $27.8 million, or 10.2% of revenues, compared to $25.7
million, or 9.8% of revenues, for the comparable period.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the six months ended December 1997 were $17.6
million, or 6.5% of revenues, compared to $14.1 million, or 5.3% of revenues for
the comparable period. The increase of $3.5 million was primarily attributable
to incremental costs associated with the Ogden acquisition. The majority of
these incremental costs were incurred after the second quarter of Fiscal 1997.
Salaries and wages increased $1.9 million as a result of the additional
headcount required to support the acquired Ogden business as well as the impact
of annual salary adjustments effective July 1, 1997. Additionally, office and
occupancy costs increased $1.1 million between the comparable periods, primarily
as a result of increased computer lease costs, depreciation expense, temporary
help, relocation expense and recruiting expenses.

     Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization expense was $2.4 million in
each of the six month periods of fiscal 1998 and 1997.

     Income from Operations. As a result of the foregoing, income from
operations for the six months ended December 1997 was $7.8 million, or 2.9% of
revenues, compared to $9.2 million, or 3.5% of revenues, for the comparable
period.

     EBITDA. As a result of the foregoing, EBITDA for the six months ended
December 1997 was $11.4 million, or 4.2% of revenues, compared to $12.7 million,
or 4.8% of revenues, for the six months ended December 1996.


                                       16

     Interest Expense. Interest expense for the six months ended December 1997
was $5.8 million, or 2.1% of revenues, compared to $5.4 million, or 2.1% of
revenues, for the six months ended December 1996. The increase resulted from
higher borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facilities during the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 as compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 1997.
Average monthly borrowings under these facilities were $51.0 million for the
first quarter of 1998, as compared to $20.5 million for the comparable 1997
period.

     Income Taxes. USC, Inc. and its subsidiaries elected to change to the cash
basis of accounting for income tax purposes, consistent with the basis followed
by UNICCO Service Company. As a result, the Company recorded deferred tax assets
and liabilities of $1.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively. In addition,
based upon a review of all available evidence, management recorded a valuation
allowance associated with the deferred tax assets of $.9 million.

     Extraordinary Loss. See "Comparison of Three Month Periods Ended December
28, 1997 and December 29, 1996"

     Net Income (Loss). As a result of the foregoing, net loss for the six
months ended December 1997 was $(2.4) million, or (.9)% of revenue, compared to
$2.2 million or .8% of revenue, for the comparable period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     For the six months ended December 28, 1997, the Company's cash decreased by
$2.2 million. A total of $0.8 million of cash was provided by operating
activities and investing activities which consisted of $1.3 million of net cash
provided by operating activities and $.5 million used for investing activities.
Net cash used for financing activities during the period was $3.0 million. In
October 1997, the Company consummated an offering of $105 million of 9 7/8%.
Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2007. Proceeds from the offering, net of bond
discount and expenses, were $101.2 million. Proceeds were used to repay
long-term debt of $52.4 million and outstanding borrowings under the Company's
prior revolving credit facilities of $48.8 million.

     For the six months ended December 1996, $43.0 million of cash was used in
operating and investing activities which consisted of $42.0 million of cash used
in operating activities and $1.0 million used in investing activities. The cash
used in operating activities was primarily to fund the working capital
requirements related to the Ogden acquisition, which occurred on June 28, 1996.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the period was $42.9 million,
which primarily represented borrowings under the Company's $48 million line of
credit reserve.

     Capital expenditures were $.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for
the six month periods ended December 1997 and l996. The Company's operations do
not generally require material investment in capital assets. The Company expects
that its capital expenditure requirements will not increase materially in 1998.

                                       17
<PAGE>   18

     The Company is party to an amended revolving credit facility (the "Credit
Facility") under which the Company may borrow up to $45.0 million for working
capital and general corporate purposes, subject to certain conditions. The
Credit Facility, the Indenture governing the Company's Senior Subordinated Notes
due 2007 and the terms of the Company's other subordinated indebtedness include
certain financial and operating covenants which, among other things, restrict
the ability of the Company to incur additional indebtedness, make investments
and take other actions. The ability of the Company to meet its debt service
obligations will be dependent upon the future performance of the Company, which
will be impacted by general economic conditions and other factors.

     The Company's principal capital requirements are to service the Company's
indebtedness, for working capital and, to a lesser extent, to fund capital
expenditures. The Company believes that its cash flow from operations, together
with its borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, will be sufficient to
meet such requirements.

                  obligations of the Issuers hereunder or thereunder, that:

                  (i)      the principal of and premium, interest and Liquidated
                           Damages, if any, on the Notes will be promptly paid
                           in full when due, whether at maturity, by
                           acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest
                           on the overdue principal of, premium, interest and
                           Liquidated Damages, if any, on the Notes, if any, if
                           lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuers to
                           the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder
                           will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in
                           accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and

                  (ii)     in case of any extension of time of payment or
                           renewal of any Notes or any of such other
                           Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full
                           when due or performed in accordance with the terms of
                           the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity,
                           by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when
                           due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so
                           guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall
                           be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same
                           immediately.

         (b)      The obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective
                  of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or
                  the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same,
                  any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect
                  to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any
                  judgment against either of the Issuers, any action to enforce
                  the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise
                  constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
                  Guarantor.

         (c)      The following is hereby waived: diligence, presentment, demand
                  of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of
                  insolvency or bankruptcy of either of the Issuers, any right
                  to require a proceeding first against the Issuers, protest,
                  notice and all demands whatsoever.

         (d)      This Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete
                  performance of the Obligations contained in the Notes and the
                  Indenture.

         (e)      If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or
                  otherwise to return to the Issuers, the Guarantors, or any
                  custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official
                  acting in relation to either the Issuers or the Guarantors,
                  any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this
                  Note 


                                       2
<PAGE>   3
                  Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be
                  reinstated in full force and effect.

         (f)      The Guaranteeing Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be entitled
                  to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in
                  respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in
                  full of all Obligations guaranteed hereby.

         (g)      As between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders
                  and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the
                  Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided
                  in Article 6 of the Indenture for the purposes of this Note
                  Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
                  prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the
                  Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any
                  declaration of acceleration of such Obligations as provided in
                  Article 6 of the Indenture, such Obligations (whether or not
                  due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the
                  Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee.

         (h)      The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from
                  any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right
                  does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note
                  Guarantee.

         (i)      Pursuant to Section 11.03 of the Indenture, after giving
                  effect to any maximum amount and any other contingent and
                  fixed liabilities that are relevant under any applicable
                  Bankruptcy or fraudulent conveyance laws, and after giving
                  effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution
                  from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor
                  in respect of the Obligations of such other Guarantor under
                  Article 11 of the Indenture the Obligations of the Guarantors
                  shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall result in the
                  Obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not
                  constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

         3. EXECUTION AND DELIVERY. Each Guaranteeing Restricted Subsidiary
agrees that the Note Guarantees shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note
Guarantee.

         4. GUARANTEEING RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC. ON
CERTAIN TERMS.

         (a)      The Guaranteeing Restricted Subsidiaries may not consolidate
                  with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is
                  the surviving Person) another corporation, Person or entity
                  whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor unless:


                                       3
<PAGE>   4
                  (i)      subject to Section 11.05 of the Indenture, the Person
                           formed by or surviving any such consolidation or
                           merger (if other than a Guarantor or the Issuers)
                           unconditionally assumes all the obligations of such
                           Guarantor, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in
                           form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
                           Trustee, under the Notes, the Indenture and the Note
                           Guarantee on the terms set forth herein or therein;
                           and

                  (ii)     immediately after giving effect to such transaction,
                           no Default or Event of Default exists.

         (b)      In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance
                  and upon the assumption by the successor corporation, by
                  supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee
                  and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee
                  endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance
                  of all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be
                  performed by the Guarantor, such successor corporation shall
                  succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same
                  effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such
                  successor corporation thereupon may cause to be signed any or
                  all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the
                  Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been
                  signed by the Issuers and delivered to the Trustee. All the
                  Note Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same
                  legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Note
                  Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance
                  with the terms of the Indenture as though all of such Note
                  Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution
                  hereof.

         (c)      Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 of the Indenture, and
                  notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained
                  in the Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any
                  consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the
                  Issuers or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or
                  conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or
                  substantially as an entirety to the Issuers or another
                  Guarantor.

         5.       RELEASES.

         (a)      In the event of a sale or other disposition of all of the
                  assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or
                  otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the
                  capital stock of any Guarantor (other than to the Company or
                  another Guarantor), or in the case the Company designates a
                  Domestic Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted
                  Subsidiary in accordance with the Indenture, then such
                  Guarantor (in the event of a sale 


                                       4
<PAGE>   5
                  or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or
                  otherwise, of all of the capital stock of such Guarantor) or
                  the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale
                  or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets
                  of such Guarantor) shall be released and relieved of any
                  obligations under its Note Guarantee; provided that the Net
                  Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in
                  accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture,
                  including without limitation Section 4.10 of the Indenture.
                  Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers'
                  Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
                  sale or other disposition was made by the Company in
                  accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, including
                  without limitation Section 4.10 of the Indenture, the Trustee
                  shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to
                  evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations
                  under its Note Guarantee.

         (b)      Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Note
                  Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal
                  of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of
                  any Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in Article 10 of
                  the Indenture.

         6. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director,
officer, employee, trustee, incorporator, shareholder or agent of the
Guaranteeing Restricted Subsidiaries, as such, shall have any liability for any
obligations of the Issuers or any Guaranteeing Restricted Subsidiary under the
Notes, any Note Guarantees, the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture or for
any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their
creation. Each Holder of the Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all
such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for
issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities
under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the Commission that such
a waiver is against public policy.

         7. NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN. THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS SUPPLEMENT INDENTURE BUT WITHOUT
GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT
THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.

         8. COUNTERPARTS. The parties may sign any number of copies of this
Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them
together represent the same agreement.

         9. EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Section headings herein are for convenience
only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

         10. THE TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner
whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental
Indenture or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which
recitals are made solely by the Guaranteeing Restricted Subsidiaries and the
Issuers.
