NOTE F--CRESCENT TRANSACTIONS
 
    On June 17, 1997, the Company consummated a series of transactions including
the sale of substantially all of its domestic hospital real estate and related
personal property (the "Assets") to Crescent Real Estate Equities Limited
Partnership ("Crescent") and CBHS (as hereinafter defined). In addition, the
Company's domestic portion of its provider business segment will be operated as
a joint venture ("CBHS") that is initially owned equally by Magellan and
Crescent Operating, Inc., an affiliate of Crescent ("COI"). The Company will
account for its 50% investment in CBHS under the equity method of accounting.
The Company received approximately $417.2 million in cash (before costs
estimated to be $16.0 million) and warrants in COI for the purchase of 2.5% of
COI's common stock, exercisable over 12 years. The Company also issued 1,283,311
warrants to Crescent and COI each for the purchase of Magellan common stock at
an exercise price of $30 per share.
 
    In related agreements, (i) Crescent leased the real estate and related
assets to CBHS for annual rent beginning at approximately $41.7 million with a
5% annual escalation clause compounded annually (the "Facilities Lease") and
(ii) CBHS will pay Magellan approximately $78.3 million in annual franchise
fees, subject to increase, for the use of assets retained by Magellan and for
support in certain areas. The franchise fees to be paid by CBHS to the Company
are subordinated to the lease obligations in favor of Crescent. The assets
retained by Magellan include, but are not limited to, the "CHARTER" name,
intellectual property, protocols and procedures, clinical quality management,
operating processes and the "1-800-CHARTER" telephone call center. Magellan will
provide CBHS ongoing support in areas including advertising and marketing

    The Company initially used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the
Assets to reduce its long-term debt, including borrowings under the Revolving
Credit Agreement. Under the terms of its Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Notes")
indenture, the Noteholders were given the right to put their Notes to the
Company at 101% of face value through July 21, 1997. No Noteholders elected to
put their Notes to the Company. The Company intends to use the remaining
proceeds from the sale of the Assets to pursue acquisitions in its managed care
and public sector business segments, develop new products and increase managed
care and public sector marketing efforts.
 
    The Crescent Transactions are more fully described in the Company's Proxy
Statement filed on Schedule 14A on April 24, 1997, which is incorporated herein
by reference.

NOTE J--CONTINGENCIES
 
    The Company is self-insured for a substantial portion of its general and
professional liability risks. The reserves for self-insured general and
professional liability losses, including loss adjustment expenses, are based on
actuarial estimates that are discounted at an average rate of 6% to their
present value based on the Company's historical claims experience adjusted for
current industry trends. The reserve for unpaid claims is adjusted periodically
as such claims mature, to reflect changes in actuarial estimates based on actual
experience. The Company recorded reductions of expenses of approximately $4.8
million and $12.3 million during the quarter and the nine months ended June 30,
1996, respectively, and $2.5 million and $7.5 million during the quarter and the
nine months ended June 30, 1997, respectively. These reductions resulted
primarily from updates to actuarial assumptions regarding the Company's expected
losses for more recent policy years. These revisions are based on changes in
expected values of ultimate losses resulting from the Company's claim
experience, and increased reliance on such claim experience. While management
and its actuaries believe that the present reserve is reasonable, ultimate
settlement of losses may vary from the amount provided.
 
    The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to claims, civil
suits, and governmental investigations and inquiries relating to their
operations and certain alleged business practices. In the opinion of management,
based on consultation with counsel, resolution of these matters will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
 
    On August 1, 1996, the United States Department of Justice, Civil Division,
filed its First Amended Complaint in a civil qui tam action initiated in
November of 1994 against the Company and its Orlando South hospital subsidiary
("Charter Orlando") by two former employees. The First Amended Complaint

alleges that Charter Orlando violated the civil False Claims Act (the "Act") in
billing for inpatient treatment provided to elderly patients. The Court granted
the Company's motion to dismiss the government's First Amended Complaint yet
granted the government leave to amend its First Amended Complaint. The
government filed a Second Amended Complaint on December 12, 1996 which, similar
to the First Amended Complaint alleges that the Company and its subsidiary
violated the Act in billing for the treatment of geriatric patients. Like the
First Amended Complaint, the Second Amended Complaint is based on disputed
clinical and factual issues which the Company believes do not constitute a
violation of the Act. The Company and its subsidiary, therefore, have filed a
motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint. The Company and its subsidiary
deny the allegations made in the Second Amended Complaint and will vigorously
defend against its claims. The Company does not believe this matter will have a
material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.
 
    The Company has provided a guarantee, not to exceed $65 million, for CBHS'
line of credit. CBHS has a $100 million, 5-year revolving credit facility.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
    This document contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 including, without
limitation, statements regarding the sufficiency of the Company's liquidity and
sources of capital and the statements under the heading "Outlook". Actual
results may differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking
statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks,
uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual results to differ
materially from those anticipated, including, without limitation, potential
reductions in reimbursement by third-party payers and changes in hospital payer
mix, governmental budgetary constraints and healthcare reform, the impact of
potential hospital closures, competition in the provider business and the
managed care business, and the regulatory environment for the Company's
businesses, as well as the other factors discussed in Exhibit 99 hereto, which
is hereby incorporated by reference.
 
GREEN SPRING ACQUISITION
 
    On December 13, 1995, the Company acquired a 51% ownership interest in Green
Spring for approximately $68.9 million in cash, the issuance of 215,458 shares
of Magellan Common Stock valued at approximately $4.3 million and the
contribution of GPA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Green Spring. On December 20, 1995, the Company
acquired an additional 10% ownership interest in Green Spring for approximately
$16.7 million in cash as a result of an exercise by a minority stockholder of
its Exchange Option ("Exchange Option") for a portion of the stockholder's
interest in Green Spring. Green Spring provides managed behavioral healthcare
services, which includes utilization management, care management and employee
assistance programs through a 50-state provider network covering approximately
16.1 million people nationwide. The Company has accounted for the acquisition of
Green Spring using the purchase method of accounting, which resulted in
additional intangible assets of approximately $113 million.
 
    The minority stockholders of Green Spring consist of four Blue Cross/Blue
Shield organizations (the "Blues") that are key customers of Green Spring. In
addition, two other Blues organizations that formerly owned a portion of Green
Spring have continued as customers of Green Spring. As of June 30, 1997, the
minority stockholders of Green Spring have the Exchange Option, under certain
circumstances, to exchange their ownership interest in Green Spring for
2,831,739 shares of the Company's Common Stock or $65.1 million in subordinated
notes. The Company may elect to pay cash in lieu of issuing the subordinated
notes. The Exchange Option expires December 13, 1998.
 
CRESCENT TRANSACTIONS
 
    On June 17, 1997, the Company consummated the Crescent Transactions, which
are more fully described in Note F. The Company's resulting investment in CBHS
will be accounted for under the equity method, which will result in a
significant reduction in the Company's revenues and expenses from its provider
segment in future periods.
 
PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL RESULTS
 
    The following selected statistics include the psychiatric hospitals in
operation, by quarter, for fiscal 1996 and 1997, including (a) psychiatric
hospitals closed during fiscal 1996 and 1997 and (b) psychiatric hospitals
acquired during fiscal 1996 and 1997 (from the date of acquisition). The
selected statistics include the psychiatric hospitals controlled by CBHS as a
result of the Crescent Transactions through June 16, 1997.

</TABLE>
 
    Patient days at the Company's hospitals decreased 22.5% and 15.0% for the
quarter and the nine months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, as compared to
the same periods of fiscal 1996. The decrease resulted primarily from patient
days attributable to the hospitals closed during fiscal 1996 and 1997, declines
in average length of stay and the consummation of the Crescent Transactions on
June 17, 1997. Total admissions decreased 16.8% and 9.2% for the quarter and the
nine months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, as compared to the prior year
periods. The decrease resulted primarily from the hospitals closed in fiscal
1996 and 1997 and the consummation of the Crescent Transactions on June 17,
1997.
 
    The Company's net revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 decreased 6.2%
as compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily attributable
to (i) the closure of hospitals during fiscal 1996 and 1997, (ii) reduced
equivalent patient days at the Company's operating hospitals and (iii) the
effect of the consummation of the Crescent Transactions offset by revenue growth
in the Company's managed care (Green Spring) and public sector (Public
Solutions) businesses. The 44.0% increase in Green Spring revenue to $95.6
million was primarily attributable to obtaining several new contracts, which
became effective July 1, 1996 and January 1, 1997, to manage the behavioral
healthcare component of certain state Medicaid programs and increases in
services to an insurer. The 39.0% increase in Public Solutions revenue to $24.6
million was primarily attributable to a 25.0 % increase in placements in mentor
homes and $1.4 million in new revenues from correctional contracts.
 
    The Company's net revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 increased
2.5 % as compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily
attributable to the Green Spring acquisition and related internal growth (as
previously described) and Public Solutions internal growth (as previously
described) offset by (i) the closure of hospitals during fiscal 1996 and fiscal
1997, (ii) reduced equivalent patient days at the Company's operating hospitals
and (iii) the effect of the consummation of the Crescent Transactions. Green
Spring revenues increased 85.1% to $269.1 million and Public Solutions revenue
increased 34.8% to $68.5 million.
 
    The Company's salaries, supplies and other operating expenses decreased 3.9%
and increased 6.3% in the quarter and the nine months ended June 30, 1997
compared to the same periods in fiscal 1996. The increases resulted primarily
from the Green Spring acquisition and related internal growth less the effect of
hospitals closed during fiscal 1996 and 1997 and the effect of the consummation
of the Crescent Transactions.
 
    The Company's bad debt expense decreased 36.0% and 22.6% in the quarter and
the nine months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the same periods in fiscal 1996.
These decreases are primarily attributable to (i) improvement in accounts
receivable agings and turnover compared to prior periods, (ii) shifts towards
governmental and managed care payers, which reduces the Company's credit risk
associated with individual patients and (iii) the effect of the consummation of
the Crescent Transactions.

Bad debt expense decreased to 3.7% and 4.6% of revenue for the quarter and the
nine months ended June 30, 1997, respectively. These decreases are primarily
attributable to lower bad debt expense in the provider business and bad debt
expense representing less than 1% of Green Spring revenues for the periods
presented.
 
    Depreciation and amortization decreased $0.8 million and increased $2.0
million in the quarter and the nine months ended June 30, 1997, respectively,
compared to the same periods in fiscal 1996. These changes resulted primarily
from depreciation and amortization related to the Green Spring acquisition and
the effect of the consummation of the Crescent Transactions.
 
    Interest expense, net, decreased $0.5 million and increased $3.9 million for
the quarter and the nine months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, compared to
the same periods in fiscal 1996. The decrease for the three months ended June
30, 1997 resulted primarily from lower average borrowings and higher temporary
investments as a result of the Crescent Transactions. The increase for the nine
months ended June 30, 1997 resulted primarily from approximately $5.0 million of
interest income recorded during the nine months ended June 30, 1996 related to
income tax refunds due from the State of California for the Company's income tax
returns for fiscal 1982 through 1989 offset by reduced interest, net, as a
result of the Crescent Transactions.
 
    Stock option expense for the quarter and the nine months ended June 30, 1997
increased $2.0 million from the previous year periods primarily due to
fluctuations in the market price of the Company's common stock.
 
    Equity in loss of CBHS represents the Company's proportionate (50%) loss in
CBHS for the 14 days ended June 30, 1997. See Note I for further information
regarding the Company's Investment in CBHS.
 
    The Company recorded a loss on the Crescent Transactions of approximately
$59.9 million during the quarter and the nine months ended June 30, 1997. See
Note F for further information regarding the Crescent Transactions.
 
    The Company recorded unusual items, net, of $(1.0) million and $0.4 million,
during the quarter and the nine months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, which
consisted of (i) a $2.6 million and a $5.4 million pre-tax gain on the sale of
previously closed psychiatric hospitals, respectively, (ii) a $4.2 million
charge for the closure of three psychiatric hospitals and one general hospital
during the nine months ended June 30, 1997 and (iii) $1.6 million charge related
to the termination of an agreement to sell the Company's European hospitals
during the quarter and the nine months ended June 30, 1997. During the quarter
and the nine months ended June 30, 1996, the Company recorded an unusual item of
$30.0 million related to the settlement of insurance claims. Also, during the
quarter and the nine months ended June 30, 1996, the Company recorded unusual
items of $2.8 million related to the closure of three hospitals and $1.2 million
for an impairment loss. See Note G for further information regarding unusual
items.
 
    Minority interest increased $0.7 million and $2.7 million in the quarter and
the nine months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the prior year periods. The
increases are primarily due to (i) the Company acquiring a controlling interest
in Green Spring in December 1995, (ii) Green Spring's internal growth subsequent
to the acquisition date and (iii) increased net income from hospital-based joint
ventures.
 
    The Company recorded extraordinary losses on early extinguishment of debt,
net of tax, of $2.3 million and $5.3 million for the three months and the nine
months ended June 30, 1997, respectively. See Note D for further information
regarding the early extinguishment of debt.
 
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
    In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 ("FAS 123") "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which became
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. FAS 123
established new financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based
 
                                       22
<PAGE>
compensation plans. Entities will be allowed to measure compensation expense for
stock-based compensation under FAS 123 or APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees." Entities electing to remain with the accounting in
APB Opinion No. 25 will be required to make pro forma disclosures of net income
and earnings per share as if the provisions of FAS 123 had been applied. The
Company is adopting FAS 123 in fiscal 1997 on a proforma disclosure basis.
 
    In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
FAS 128, which applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential
common stock. FAS 128 replaces APB Opinion 15, "Earnings per Share" and related
interpretations. APB Opinion 15 required that entities with simple capital
structures present a single "earnings per common share" ("EPS") on the face of
the income statement, whereas those with complex capital structures present both
"primary" and "fully diluted" EPS. Primary EPS shows the amount of income
attributed to each share of common stock if every common stock equivalent were
converted into common stock. Fully diluted EPS considers common stock
equivalents and all other securities that could be converted into common stock.
 
    Statement 128 simplifies the computation of EPS by replacing the
presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. The Statement
requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS by entities with complex
capital structures. Basic EPS includes no dilution and is computed by dividing
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 Opinion 15.
 
    FAS 128 becomes effective for financial statements for both interim and
annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. Earlier application is not
permitted. The Company will adopt FAS 128 during the quarter ended December 31,
1997, which is the first quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998.
The Company has disclosed pro forma EPS amounts computed using FAS 128 in Note H
to the financial statements for the quarter and the nine months ended June 30,
1996 and 1997. After the effective date, all prior-period EPS data presented
will be restated to conform with the provisions of FAS 128.
 
    The primary effect of FAS 128 on the Company's financial statements is the
required dual presentation of basic and diluted income per common share for each
interim and annual reporting period. APB Opinion No. 15 allowed entities with
complex capital structures to present income per common share excluding common
stock equivalents and other potentially dilutive securities if the dilution was
less than three percent.
 
LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
 
    OPERATING ACTIVITIES.  The Company's net cash provided by operating
activities was approximately $60.5 million and $5.2 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1997, respectively. The decrease in operating
cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 was primarily the result of
(i) higher income tax payments ($6.9 million and $14.4 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively), (ii) $5.0 million of
interest income related to income tax refunds in fiscal 1996 and (iii) reduced
cash flows from its provider business. Management believes its cash flows from
operations will be adequate to fund operations, capital expenditures and debt
service obligations in future periods.
 
    INVESTING ACTIVITIES.  The Company acquired a 61% ownership interest in
Green Spring during the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The consideration paid for
Green Spring and related acquisition costs resulted in the use of cash of
approximately $87.2 million compared to approximately $28.8 million for
acquisitions and investments in businesses during the nine months ended June 30,
1997.

    The Crescent Transactions resulted in net proceeds of $384.0 million, during
the nine months ended June 30, 1997 which consists of the following (in

                                                                    $ 384,041

                                                                    ---------
</TABLE>
 
    The Company also made a $2.5 capital contribution to CBHS on June 20, 1997.
The Company expects to fund an additional $15.4 million in transaction costs and
construction obligations related to the Crescent Transactions through fiscal
1998.
 
    Management believes that its cash on hand, future cash flows from
operations, borrowing capacity under the New Revolving Credit Agreement and its
ability to issue debt and equity securities under current market conditions will
provide adequate capital resources to support the Company's anticipated
investing strategies.
 
    FINANCING ACTIVITIES.  The Company borrowed approximately $68.1 million and
$88.0 million (excluding borrowings of approximately $115.6 million to pay off
the previous Revolving Credit Agreement), respectively, during the nine months
ended June 30, 1996 and 1997, primarily to fund the acquisition of Green Spring
in fiscal 1996 and to (i)fund the payment of variable rate secured notes and
other long-term debt, (ii)fund acquisitions and (iii)fund working capital needs
in fiscal 1997. The Company believes that its businesses will generate
sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its future debt service
requirements.
 
    The Company paid off approximately $84.5 million and $389.4 million of debt
and capital lease obligations during the nine months ended June 30, 1996 and
1997, respectively. The payments relate primarily to servicing and refinancing
long-term debt under the Revolving Credit Agreements and servicing variable rate
secured notes and other long-term debt as a result of the Crescent Transactions.
 
    The Company issued approximately 2.6 million warrants with a fair value of
$25.0 million to Crescent and COI as part of the Crescent Transactions during
the nine months ended June 30, 1997.
 
    On September 27, 1996, the Company repurchased approximately 4.0 million
shares of its Common Stock for approximately $73.5 million, including
transaction costs, pursuant to a "Dutch Auction" self-tender offer to its
stockholders. On November 1, 1996, the Company announced that its board of
directors approved the repurchase of an additional 3.0 million shares of its
Common Stock from time to time subject to the terms of the New Revolving Credit
Agreement. The Company expects to use cash on hand, future cash flows from
operations and borrowings under its New Revolving Credit Agreement to fund any
future treasury stock purchases.
 
    As of June 30, 1997, the Company had $193.4 million of availability under
the New Revolving Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with all debt
covenants at June 30, 1997.
 
OUTLOOK
 
    CRESCENT TRANSACTIONS.  The Company relinquished control of CBHS upon
consummation of the Crescent Transactions. Magellan's operational input in CBHS
will be limited to those rights provided by the franchise agreements and the
CBHS Operating Agreement.
 
    The Franchise Fees payable to the Company by CBHS are subordinated in
payment to the $41.7 million annual base rent, 5% minimum escalator rent and, in
certain circumstances, the additional rent due Crescent under the CBHS
Facilities Lease. If CBHS encounters a decline in earnings or financial
difficulties, such amounts due Crescent will be paid before any Franchise Fees
are paid. The remainder of CBHS' available cash will then be applied in such
order of priority as CBHS may determine, in the reasonable discretion of the
CBHS board, to all other operating expenses of CBHS, including the current
 
                                       24
<PAGE>
and accumulated Franchise Fees. The Company will be entitled to pursue all
available remedies for breach of the Master Franchise Agreement, except that the
Company does not have the right to take any action that could reasonably be
expected to force CBHS into bankruptcy or receivership. In addition, if CBHS
encounters a decline in earnings or financial difficulties, it is possible that
cash flows from CBHS' operations will not be sufficient to pay all or a portion
of the Franchise Fees when due.
 
    The Company has used the proceeds of the Crescent Transactions to reduce net
interest expense by repaying long-term debt where possible and investing the
remaining proceeds in short-term cash equivalents. Although net interest expense
will be lower, the Company's reduced earnings as a result of the Crescent
Transactions could be even more pronounced until capital resource allocation
decisions (e.g., acquisitions) related to the net proceeds from the Crescent
Transactions are implemented.
 
    SALE OF EUROPEAN HOSPITALS.  On March 19, 1997, the Company announced that
it signed definitive agreements with Priory Hospitals Holdings Limited and
Priory Hospitals Europe Limited for the sale of its two psychiatric hospitals in
London and its psychiatric hospital in Nyon, Switzerland. The sale of the
European Hospitals was subject to regulatory approval. The total purchase price
for the European Hospitals and license agreements was $76 million.
 
    On June 17, 1997, the Company announced that the sale of its two United
Kingdom hospitals had been referred to the Monopolies and Mergers Commission
("MMC") by the Office of Fair Trade under the provisions of the Fair Trading
Act. The MMC is required to make their report by September 15, 1997. The time
period for receiving regulatory approval expired and the Company elected not to
consummate the sale and has begun exploring other strategic alternatives related
to its European hospitals.
 
    NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYFORWARDS The Company incurred a gain for federal
income tax purposes of approximately $50 million as a result of the Crescent
Transactions. The Company intends to utilize net operating loss carryforwards
("NOLs") to offset such taxable gains to the extent NOLs are available. The
expected utilization of NOLs as a result of the Crescent Transactions will
accelerate the payment of federal income taxes in future periods, resulting in
lower cash flows from operations in future periods.
 
    OPERATIONS-PROVIDER.  CBHS management continually assesses events and
changes in circumstances that could affect its business strategy and the
viability of its operations. During fiscal 1995 and 1996, Magellan consolidated,
closed or sold 15 and 9 psychiatric hospitals, respectively. During fiscal 1997,
Magellan has consolidated or closed three psychiatric hospitals and its one
general hospital. See Note G for further information regarding facility closures
in fiscal 1996 and 1997. CBHS may pursue acquisitions during fiscal 1998 in
markets where it does not currently have a presence and in markets where it has
existing hospital operations. CBHS management may consolidate services in
selected markets as a result of acquisitions or overcapacity by closing
additional facilities in future periods depending on market conditions and
evolving business strategies. If CBHS closes additional psychiatric hospitals in
future periods, it could result in additional charges to income for the costs
necessary to exit the hospital operations, which would result in lower equity in
earnings of CBHS for the Company.
 
    The Company's hospitals and CBHS' hospitals continue to experience a shift
in payer mix to managed care payers from other payers, which contributed to a
reduction in revenue per equivalent patient day in fiscal 1996 and average
length of stay in fiscal 1996 and 1997. Management anticipates continued
shifting in CBHS' hospital payer mix towards managed care payers as a result of
changes in the healthcare marketplace. Future shifts in CBHS' hospital payer mix
to managed care payers could result in lower revenue per equivalent patient day
and lower average length of stay in future periods for CBHS' hospital
operations. In addition, the recently passed Federal budget will, beginning in
fiscal 1998, reduce the amount of reimbursement the Company and CBHS receive for
treatment of Medicare patients. Lower revenue per equivalent patient day and
declines in average length of stay at CBHS' hospitals could result in lower
equity in earnings from CBHS for the Company and the recognition of bad debt
expense related to franchise fee receivables in future periods, if any.
 
                                       25
<PAGE>
    During fiscal 1994, 1995 and 1996, the Company recorded revenue of $32.1
million, $35.6 million and $28.3 million, respectively, for settlements and
adjustments related to reimbursement issues. During the quarter and the nine
months ended June 30, 1997, the Company recorded revenue of $2.5 million and
$16.2 million, respectively, for settlements and adjustments related to
reimbursement issues compared to $3.3 million and $14.4 million, respectively,
for the prior year periods. The settlements in fiscal 1994, 1995 and 1996
related primarily to certain reimbursable costs associated with the Company's
financial reorganization in fiscal 1992 and costs related to the early
extinguishment of long-term debt in fiscal 1994. Management anticipates that
revenue related to such settlements will decline for fiscal 1997, and that the
decline will be comparable to the reduction experienced in fiscal 1996.
Management also expects revenue related to such settlements to decline in fiscal
1998 from anticipated fiscal 1997 levels comparable to the reduction anticipated
in fiscal 1997 as compared to fiscal 1996.
 
    During fiscal 1996, the Company recorded reductions of expenses of
approximately $15.3 million as a result of updated actuarial estimates related
to malpractice claim reserves. The Company recorded reductions of expenses of
approximately $4.8 million and $12.3 million during the quarter and the nine
months ended June 30, 1996 and $2.5 million and $7.5 million in the quarter and
the nine months ended June 30, 1997, respectively. These reductions resulted
primarily from updates to actuarial assumptions regarding the Company's expected
losses for more recent policy years. These revisions are based on changes in
expected values of ultimate losses resulting from the Company's claim
experience, and increased reliance on such claim experience. While Management
and its actuaries believe that the present reserve is reasonable, ultimate
settlement of losses may vary from the amount recorded and result in additional
fluctuations in income in future periods.
 
    HUMAN AFFAIRS INTERNATIONAL, INC. ACQUISITION
 
    On August 5, 1997, the Company announced that it had signed a definitive
agreement for the purchase of Human Affairs International, Inc. ("HAI"), a unit
of Aetna U.S. Healthcare for approximately $122.1 million in cash. HAI manages
the care of approximately 15 million covered lives through employee assistance
programs and managed behavioral health plans. The Company expects to fund the
acquisition of HAI with cash on hand. The Company will account for the
acquisition of HAI using the purchase method of accounting. The HAI acquisition
is subject to federal and state approval and other customary matters and is
expected to close in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.
 
    The Company may be required to make additional contingent payments of up to
$300 million to Aetna U.S. Healthcare (the "Contingent Payments") over the
five-year period subsequent to closing under certain circumstances. The Company
expects to fund the Contingent Payments, if any, with a combination of cash on
hand, future cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity under the New
Revolving Credit Agreement.

                                 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


         THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered into
as of March 1, 1997 by and between Magellan Health Services, Inc., a Delaware
Corporation ("Employer"), and E. Mac Crawford ("Officer").

         WHEREAS, on October 1, 1995, Employer and Officer entered into an
employment agreement having a term expiring on December 31, 1997; and Employer
and Officer desire to replace that employment agreement with this Agreement; and

         WHEREAS, Employer desires to obtain the continued services of Officer,
and Officer desires to continue to render services to Employer; and

         WHEREAS, Employer and Officer desire to set forth the terms and
conditions of Officer's employment with Employer under this Agreement;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and of the
mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties agree
as follows:

         1.   Term.  Employer agrees to employ Officer, and Officer agrees to
serve Employer, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, for a term (the
"Term") beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending, unless earlier
terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, on March 1,
2000.

         2.   Employment of Officer.

              (a)  Specific Position.  Employer and Officer agree that, subject
to the provisions of this Agreement, Employer will employ Officer and Officer
will serve Employer as Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief
Executive Officer.  Employer agrees that Officer's duties under this Agreement
shall be the usual and customary duties of a Chief Executive Officer and,
consistent with the foregoing, as are determined from time to time by the Board
of Directors of Employer (the "Board"), and shall not be inconsistent with the
provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of Employer or applicable law.

              (b)  Promotion of Employer's Business.  Subject to the provisions
of Section 2(c), during the Term Officer shall devote his full business time and
energy to the business, affairs and interests of Employer and related matters,
and shall use his best efforts and abilities to promote Employer's interests. 
Officer agrees that he will diligently endeavor to perform services contemplated
by this Agreement in accordance with the policies established by the Board,
subject to the provisions of the second sentence of Section 2(a).



<PAGE>

              (c)  Permitted Activities.  Officer may serve as an officer,
director, agent or employee of any direct or indirect subsidiary or other
affiliate of Employer but may not serve as an officer, director, agent or
employee of any other business  enterprise without the written approval of the
Board; provided, that Officer may make and manage personal business investments
of his choice (and, in so doing, may serve as an officer, director, agent or
employee of entities and business enterprises that are related to such personal
business investments) and serve in any capacity with any civic, educational or
charitable organization, or any governmental entity or trade association,
without seeking or obtaining such written approval of the Board, if such
activities and services do not significantly interfere or conflict with the
performance of his duties under this Agreement.

              (d)  Principal Office.  Officer's principal office and normal
place of work shall be at Employer's principal executive offices.

         3.   Salary.  Employer shall pay Officer a salary in the amount of
$825,000 per year (pro-rated for any partial year during the Term) payable in
equal semi-monthly installments, less state and federal tax and other legally
required and Officer-authorized withholdings.  Such salary shall be subject to
review and adjustment by the Board (or a Board Committee) from time to time
consistent with past practice; provided, that, during the Term, such salary may
not be reduced below any previous level paid during the Term as a result of such
review.

         4.   1995-1997 Contract Bonus Compensation.  In consideration of
services provided by Officer to Employer from October 1, 1995, to December 31,
1997, under the employment agreement referred to in the first "WHEREAS" clause
of this Agreement and under this Agreement, on January 2, 1998, Employer shall
pay in cash to Officer $10 million minus the amount determined under the next
two  paragraphs, whichever is applicable.

         If, on December 31, 1997, Officer has not exercised, between October
1, 1995 and December 31, 1997, any options held by Officer on October 1, 1995
under Employer's 1992 Stock Option Plan, then the amount shall be the result
obtained by multiplying (i) 462,990 (the number of options held by Officer as of
October 1, 1995 under Employer's 1992 Stock Option Plan) by (ii) the excess of
the lesser of (A) $18.00 and (B) the arithmetic average of the closing sale
price per share of Employer's Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (or if
the Common Stock is not then traded on such exchange, on the largest national
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded or, if not then
traded on a national securities exchange, on the NASD market in or on which the
Common Stock is then traded) for the ten trading days immediately preceding the
date of payment, over (iii) $4.36.

         If, on December 31, 1997, Officer has exercised, between October 1,
1995 and December 31, 1997, any of such options held by him on October 1, 1995,
then the amount shall be the sum of (a) and (b), as follows:

              (a) the result obtained by multiplying (i) the number of options
    held by Officer on October 1, 1995 under Employer's 1992 Stock Option Plan,
    which options have not been 

                                         -2-


<PAGE>

    exercised as of December 31, 1997, by (ii) the excess of the lesser of (A)
    and (B) in the immediately-preceding paragraph, over (iii) $4.36.
    
              (b) the result obtained by multiplying (i) the number of options
    held by Officer on October 1, 1995 under Employer's 1992 Stock Option Plan,
    which options are exercised by Officer between October 1, 1995 and
    December 31, 1997, by (ii) the excess of $18 over $4.36, or $13.64.
    
         If, prior to the date of payment pursuant to this Section 4, Employer
effects a change in capitalization, as described in Section 10 of Employer's
1992 Stock Option Plan, then the number and dollar amounts in (i), (ii)(A) and
(iii) in the second paragraph of this Section 4 and in (a) and (b) of the third
paragraph of this Section 4 shall be adjusted in the manner provided in Section
10 of Employer's 1992 Stock Option Plan (as such plan was worded on October 1,
1995).

         A change in the per share exercise price of such options pursuant to
Section 3(b) of the Stock Option Agreement, dated as of July 21, 1992, between
Employer and Officer shall not affect the amount payable to Officer under this
Section 4.

         5.   Transaction Bonus Compensation.  In consideration of Officer's
services to Employer in connection with the transaction described in this
Section 5, Employer shall pay to Officer $2,475,000 promptly upon the closing of
the transactions contemplated by the Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement,
dated as of January 29, 1997, between Employer and Crescent Real Estate Equities
Limited Partnership (the "REPS Agreement"), and the OpCo Contribution Agreement
(as defined in the REPS Agreement), and the execution of the Facilities Lease
(as defined in the REPS Agreement), the Franchise Agreement (as defined in the
REPS Agreement), and the Operating Agreement (as defined in the REPS Agreement),
as any or all of the foregoing agreements may be amended, supplemented, restated
or substituted for from time to time prior to or upon the closing of the
transactions contemplated by the REPS Agreement.

         6.   Benefits.

              (a)  Fringe Benefits.  In addition to the compensation provided
for in Sections 3, 4 and 5, Officer shall be entitled during the Term to such
other benefits of employment with Employer as are now or may after the date of
this Agreement be in effect for (i) salaried officers of Employer or (ii) senior
executives of Employer, including, without limitation, all bonus, incentive and
deferred compensation, pension, stock option, life and other insurance,
disability (insured and uninsured), medical and dental and other benefit plans
or programs; provided, that bonuses, life insurance and disability insurance for
Officer during the Term shall be in amounts and on other terms that are not less
and no less favorable than those provided, on average, by comparable healthcare
and hospital management companies for a comparable officer position.

              (b)  Expenses.  During the Term, Employer shall reimburse Officer
promptly for all reasonable travel, entertainment, parking, business meeting and
similar expenditures 

                                         -3-


<PAGE>

in pursuit and furtherance of Employer's business upon receipt of reasonable
supporting documentation as required by Employer's policies applicable to its
officers generally.

         7.   Termination.

              (a) Termination Due to Resignation and Termination For Cause. (1) 
Officer's employment under this Agreement shall be terminated and, except as
provided in this Section 7, all of his rights to receive salary and other
benefits (except for salary, bonus and other benefits accrued through the date
of termination) shall terminate upon the occurrence of (i) Officer's resignation
other than for "good reason," as defined in Section 7(e), or (ii) termination by
Employer for "cause," as defined below, during the Term.  Employer shall have
the right, exercisable upon 30 days' written notice, to terminate, without
liability except as provided in the parenthetical in the preceding sentence,
Officer's employment for "cause" if Officer (i) materially breaches any material
term of this Agreement, (ii) is convicted by a court of competent jurisdiction
of a felony, (iii) refuses, fails or neglects to perform his duties under this
Agreement in a manner substantially detrimental to the business of the Employer,
(iv) engages in illegal or other wrongful conduct substantially detrimental to
the business or reputation of Employer, or (v) develops or pursues interests
substantially adverse to Employer; provided that in the case of clauses (i),
(iii), (iv), or (v), no such termination shall be effective unless (1) Employer
shall have given Officer 30 days' prior written notice of any conduct or
deficiency in performance by Officer that Employer believes could, if not
discontinued or corrected, lead to Officer's termination under this Section 7(a)
in order that Officer shall have had an opportunity to cure such noncomplying
conduct or performance, and (2) Officer shall not have cured such noncomplying
conduct or performance during such notice period.

              (2) If this Agreement is terminated due to Officer's resignation
other than for "good reason" as defined in Section 7(e) and if the payment
provided for in Section 4 has not been paid and has not been required to be paid
pursuant to the terms of Section 4, then Employer shall pay to Officer, in
addition to any amounts payable pursuant to Section 7(a)(1), an amount equal to
the result obtained by multiplying (i) the number of options held by Officer as
of October 1, 1995 under Employer's 1992 Stock Option Plan, which options have
not been exercised by Officer between October 1, 1995 and the date of such
termination of this Agreement by (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) $18.00 over (B)
the arithmetic average of the closing sale price per share of Employer's Common
Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (or other exchange or market, as described
in the second paragraph of Section 4) for the ten trading days immediately
preceding the date of termination.

              (b)  Termination Due to Death or Disability.  Officer's
employment and all of his rights to receive salary and other benefits under this
Agreement may be terminated by Employer upon Officer's death, or on 30 days'
written notice from Employer to Officer if Officer has been unable to perform
substantially all of his duties under this Agreement for a period of 180 days,
or  can reasonably be expected to be unable to do so for such period, as the
result of physical or mental impairment; provided that upon any termination
pursuant to this Section 7(b), Officer (or in the event of his death, his
estate) shall be entitled to receive the Specified Amount (as defined below),
and such Specified Amount shall be payable in a lump sum on the date of
termination.  In addition to the 

                                         -4-


<PAGE>

Specified Amount, if Officer is terminated due to death or disability, Officer
(or in the event of his death, his estate) shall be entitled to receive the
portion or portions of any bonus or other cash incentive compensation that had
been accrued with respect to Officer on the books of Employer through the date
of termination pursuant to this Section 7(b) or otherwise.

              The term "Specified Amount" shall mean the sum of (x) the greater
of (i) the total of all salary payments pursuant to Section 3 that would
thereafter have come due during the Term had there been no such termination or
resignation or (ii) five years' salary pursuant to Section 3,  (in each case as
the same may have been extended and assuming a continuation for the remainder of
the Term of then current salary levels);  (y), unless the amount described in
this clause (y) has already been paid to Officer pursuant to the provisions of
Section 4, the amount payable to Officer on January 2, 1998, pursuant to
Section 4, except that the references in Section 4 to "December 31, 1997" shall
be changed to the date of termination of this Agreement; and (z), unless the
amount described in this clause (z) has already been paid to Officer pursuant to
the provisions of Section 5, the amount payable to Officer pursuant to Section 5
but only if the conditions described in Section 5 to payment of the amount
payable to Officer pursuant to Section 5 either (1) have been satisfied as of
the date of termination or (2) are satisfied within 180 days after the date of
termination.  Any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
if a payment is due to Officer pursuant to subclause (2) of clause (z) of the
preceding sentence, the payment of that portion of the Specified Amount shall be
made promptly after satisfaction of the conditions described in Section 5 to
payment of the amount payable to Officer pursuant to Section 5.

              (c)  Termination Without Cause.  Subject to compliance with the
provisions of Section 7(d), Employer shall have the right, exercisable on 30
days' written notice, to terminate Officer's employment under this Agreement
without cause at any time during the Term.


              (d)  Payments Upon Termination Without Cause.  If Officer is
terminated by Employer without cause pursuant to Section 7(c), Officer (i) shall
be entitled to receive the Specified Amount in cash on the date of such
termination; (ii) any stock option or other stock-based compensation plan shall
be governed by the terms of such plans (and any related stock option or similar
agreements); and (iii) the portion or portions of any bonus or other cash
incentive compensation that had been accrued with respect to Officer on the
books of Employer through the date of termination pursuant to this Section 7(d)
or otherwise shall be paid to Officer in cash on the date of such termination.

              (e)  Termination By Officer For Good Reason.  Officer shall be
entitled to terminate his employment for "good reason" and in such event shall
be entitled to all of the salary, benefits and other rights provided in this
Agreement as though the termination was initiated by Employer without "cause". 
For purposes of this Agreement, "good reason" shall mean any of the following
events, which event shall continue for 30 days after notice to the Employer,
unless the event occurs with Officer's express prior written consent:
 
              (i)  the assignment to Officer of any duties inconsistent with
    his status as 

                                         -5-


<PAGE>

    Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer
    of Employer or a substantial alteration in the nature or status of his
    responsibilities from those in effect immediately prior to October 1, 1995;
    
              (ii) a reduction by Employer in Officer's annual base salary as
    in effect from time to time during the Term;
    
              (iii)     the failure by Employer to comply with Section 3,
    Section 4, Section 5 or Section 6; or
    
              (iv) any other material breach of this Agreement by Employer.
    
              (f)  Termination Upon a Change of Control or Failure to Approve
Stock Option Plan.  Officer shall be entitled to terminate his employment upon a
change of control or failure to approve stock option plan as described in clause
(c) of this sentence and shall be entitled to (i) all of the salary, benefits
and other rights provided in this Agreement (including those payments provided
under Section 7(d)) as though the termination has been initiated by Employer
without cause, and (ii) a Gross-Up Payment (as defined), to the extent provided
by the second paragraph of this Section 7(f), upon the occurrence of any of the
following events:  (a) the acquisition after the date of this Agreement, in one
or more transactions, of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule
13d-3(a)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act")) by any person or entity (other than Officer) or any group of persons or
entities (other than Officer) who constitute a group (within the meaning of
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) of any securities of Employer such that as
a result of such acquisition such person or entity or group beneficially owns
(within the meaning of Rule 13d-3(a)(1) under the Exchange Act) more than 50% of
Employer's then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote on a regular
basis for a majority of the Board; (b) the sale of all or substantially all of
the assets of Employer (including, without limitation, by way of merger,
consolidation, lease or transfer but not including the transactions contemplated
by the REPS Agreement) in a transaction where Employer or the holders of common
stock of Employer do not receive (i) voting securities representing a majority
of the voting power entitled to vote on a regular basis for the Board of
Directors of the acquiring entity or of an affiliate which controls the
acquiring entity, or (ii) securities representing a majority of the equity
interests in the acquiring entity or of an affiliate that controls the acquiring
entity, if other than a corporation; or (c) the failure for any reason of the
stockholders of Employer to approve (in the manner required by the New York
Stock Exchange) on or before September 1, 1997, a non-qualified stock option
plan providing for the granting to officers and employees of Employer and its
subsidiaries of options to purchase at least 1,500,000 shares of Employer's
Common Stock (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends and similar changes
in capitalization after the date of this Agreement), which options (i) vest
one-third on each of the first three anniversaries of their date of grant and
(ii) provide for a per share exercise price that is not in excess of the fair
market value of a share of Employer's Common Stock on the date of grant of an
option.

employment pursuant to this Section 7(f) on and subject to the following terms
and conditions:

              (1) If any payment or other benefit (a "Termination Payment") to
Officer under this Section 7(f) is or will be subject to the tax (the "Excise
Tax") imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"), Employer shall pay to Officer, at the time the applicable
Termination Payment is made, an additional amount (the "Gross-Up Payment") such
that the net amount retained by Officer, after deduction of any Excise Tax on
such Termination Payment and any federal, state and local income tax and Excise
Tax on the Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to the amount or value of such
Termination Payment.  For purposes of determining whether any such Termination
Payment will be subject to the Excise Tax, any other payments or benefits
received or to be received by Officer in connection with an event giving rise to
a Termination Payment (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any
other plan, arrangement or agreement with Employer, with any person whose
actions result in a change in control or with any person affiliated with
Employer or such person) shall be treated as "parachute payments" within the
meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, and all "excess parachute payments"
within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code shall be treated as being
subject to the Excise Tax.  The amount of the Termination Payment that shall be
treated as subject to the Excise Tax shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the
total amount of the Termination Payment or (ii) the amount of excess parachute
payments within the meaning of Sections 280G(b)(1) and (4) of the Code (after
applying the immediately preceding sentence).  The full amount of the Gross-Up
Payment shall be treated as being subject to the Excise Tax.  The value of any
non-cash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined in
accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.

              (2) For purposes of determining the amount of any Gross-Up
Payment, Officer shall be deemed to pay federal income taxes at the highest
marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the
applicable Termination Payment or Gross-Up Payment is made, and shall be deemed
to pay state and local income taxes at the highest marginal rates of taxation in
the state and locality of his residence on the date the applicable Termination
Payment or Gross-Up Payment is made, net of the maximum reduction in federal
income taxes that could be obtained from deduction of such state and local
taxes.

              (3) If the Excise Tax or income tax payable with respect to a
Gross-Up Payment as finally determined exceeds the amount taken into account or
paid to Officer at the time the applicable Termination Payment or Gross-Up
Payment is made (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of
which cannot be determined at the time of the applicable Gross-Up Payment),
Employer shall make an additional Gross-Up Payment in respect of such excess
(plus any interest payable by Officer with respect to such excess) at the time
that the amount of such excess is finally determined.

         8.   Confidentiality and Noncompetition.

              (a) Confidentiality.  Officer acknowledges that, by reason of his
employment with Employer, he may learn trade secrets and obtain other
confidential information concerning the business and policies of Employer and
its subsidiaries.  Officer agrees that he will not voluntarily divulge or
otherwise disclose, directly or indirectly, any such trade secrets or other
confidential information concerning the business or policies of Employer or any
of its subsidiaries that he may learn as a result of his employment during the
Term or may have learned prior to the Term, except to the extent such
information is lawfully obtainable from public sources or such use or disclosure
is (i) necessary to the performance of this Agreement and in furtherance of
Employer's best interests, (ii) required by applicable laws, or (iii) authorized
by Employer.

              (b)  Noncompetition.  In order to protect any confidential
information that Officer may learn during the Term and in order to protect any
goodwill that Employer has earned and may earn during the Term, Officer agrees
that, if Officer voluntarily terminates this Agreement without good reason
during the Term, he shall not, at any location in the State of Georgia, for a
period of 12 months after such termination, provide services, as employee,
officer, director, consultant or otherwise, which services are substantially
similar to the hospital management company chief executive officer services
performed by Officer under this Agreement, for any company, firm or entity that
owns and operates (directly or through subsidiaries) more than one hospital and
that owns and operates one or more psychiatric hospitals located in Georgia
within 25 miles of a similar (psychiatric) hospital owned and operated by
Employer and located within the State of Georgia.

         9.   Miscellaneous.

              (a)  Succession.  This  Agreement shall inure to the benefit of

shall be personal and not assignable.

              (b)  Notices.  Any notice, request, instruction or other document
to be given under this Agreement by any party to the others shall be in writing
and delivered in person or by courier, telegraphed, telexed or sent by facsimile
transmission or mailed by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested (such mailed notice to be effective on the date of such receipt is
acknowledged), as follows:

                   If to Officer:

                        Atlanta, Georgia 30342

                   If to Employer:

or to such other place and with such other copies as either party may designate
as to itself by written notice to the others.

              (c)  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement contains the entire
agreement of the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, and
it replaces and supersedes any prior agreements between the parties relating to
said subject matter, including the employment agreement referred to in the first
"WHEREAS" clause of this Agreement.

              (d)  Waiver; Amendment.  No provision of this Agreement may be
waived except by a written agreement signed by the waiving party.  The waiver of
any term or of any condition of this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute
the waiver of any other term or condition.  This Agreement may be amended only
by a written agreement signed by the parties. 

              (e)  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed under and
governed by the internal laws of the State of Georgia.

              (f)  Arbitration.  Except for an action for injunctive relief,
any disputes or controversies arising under this Agreement shall be settled by
arbitration in Atlanta, Georgia in accordance with the rules of the American
Arbitration Association relating to the arbitration of commercial disputes.  The
determination and findings of such arbitrators shall be final and binding on all
parties and may be enforced, if necessary, in the courts of the State of
Georgia.

              (g)  Attorneys' Fees in Action by Employee on Contract.  In the
event of litigation or arbitration between Officer and Employer arising out of
or as a result of this Agreement or the acts of the parties pursuant to this
Agreement, or seeking an interpretation of this Agreement, if Officer is the
party in such litigation or arbitration, in addition to any other judgment or
award, he shall be entitled to receive such sums as the court or panel hearing
the matter shall find to be reasonable as and for attorneys' fees.

              (h)  Remedies of Employer.  Officer acknowledges that the
services he is obligated to render under the provisions of this Agreement are of
a special, unique and intellectual character, which gives this Agreement
peculiar value to Employer.  The loss of these services cannot be reasonably or
adequately compensated in damages in an action at law and it would be difficult
(if not impossible) to replace such services.  Accordingly, Officer agrees and
consents that, if he materially violates any of the material provisions of this
Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 8, Employer, in addition to
any other rights and remedies available under this Agreement or 

                                         -9-

under applicable law, shall be entitled during the remainder of the Term (and,
in the case of Section 8, after the Term to the extent provided in Section 8) to
seek injunctive relief, from a court of competent jurisdiction, restraining
Officer from committing or continuing any violation of this Agreement, or from
the performance of services to any other business entity, or both.

              (i)  Captions.  Captions have been inserted solely for the
convenience of reference and in no way define, limit or describe the scope or
substance of any provisions of this Agreement.

              (j)  Severability.  If this Agreement shall be any reason be or
become unenforceable by any party, this Agreement shall thereupon terminate and
become unenforceable by the other party as well.  In all other respects, if any
provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of
this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect and, if any
provision if held invalid or unenforceable with respect to particular
circumstances, it shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect in all
other circumstances.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the
date first above written.

                                     The Credits

         SECTION 2.01.  Commitments.  Subject to the terms and conditions and 
relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender 
agrees, severally and not jointly, (a) to make Revolving Loans to the 
Borrowers, at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof, and 
until the earlier of the Maturity Date and the termination of the Revolving 
Credit Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an 
aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in 
(i) such Lender's Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding (ii) such Lender's 
Revolving Credit Commitment at such time and (b) to make Note Repurchase 
Loans to the Parent Borrower on the Series A Notes Repurchase Date in a 
principal amount not to exceed such Lender's Note Repurchase Loan Commitment. 
Within the limits set forth in clause (a) of the preceding sentence and 
subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the 
Borrowers may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.  Amounts 
paid or prepaid in respect of Note Repurchase Loans may not be reborrowed.

         SECTION 2.02.  Loans.  (a)  Each Loan shall be made as part of a 
Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with 
their respective Revolving Credit Commitments or Note Repurchase Loan 
Commitments, as applicable; provided, however, that the 

<PAGE>

failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other 
Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, 
that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to 
make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender).  Except for Loans 
deemed made pursuant to Section 2.02(f), the Loans comprising any Borrowing 
shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of 
$1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 or (ii) equal to the remaining 
available balance of the applicable Commitments.

         (b)  Subject to Sections 2.08 and 2.15, each Borrowing shall be 
comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the applicable 
Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03.  Each Lender may at its option 
make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or 
Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of 
such option shall not affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to 
repay such Loan in accord-ance with the terms of this Agreement.  Borrowings 
of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, 
that the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if 
made, would result in more than five Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding 
hereunder at any time.  For purposes of the foregoing, only Borrowings having 
different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same 
date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

         (c)  Except with respect to Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 
2.02(f), each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the 
proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such 
account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later 
than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall by 
12:00 (noon), New York City time, credit the amounts so received to a 
domestic account designated in the applicable Borrowing Request (provided 
that such designated account shall be an account of a Borrower or a 
Guarantor) or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any 
condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the 
amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

         (d)  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from 
a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make 
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's portion of such 
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such 
portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing 
in accordance with paragraph (c) above, and the Administrative Agent may, in 
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on 
such date a corresponding amount.  If the Administrative Agent shall have so 
made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made 
such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the 
applicable Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent 
forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, 
for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower 
until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in 
the case of any Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the 
Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate 
determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or 
short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest 
error).  If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such 
corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan as part 
of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

                                                                             31



         (e)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the 
Borrowers shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing if the Interest 
Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

         (f)  If an Issuing Bank shall not have received from the applicable 
Borrower any  payment required to be made to such Issuing Bank by Section 
2.22(e) within the time specified in such Section, such Issuing Bank will 
promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the L/C Disbursement and the 
Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of 
such L/C Disbursement and its Pro Rata Percentage thereof.  Each Revolving 
Credit Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to 
the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on 
such date (or, if such Revolving Credit Lender shall have received such 
notice later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on any day, not later 
than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business 
Day), an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender's Pro Rata Percentage 
of such L/C Disbursement (it being understood that such amount shall be 
deemed to constitute an ABR Revolving Loan of such Revolving Credit Lender 
and such payment shall be deemed to have reduced the L/C Exposure), and the 
Administrative Agent will promptly pay to such Issuing Bank amounts so 
received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent 
will promptly pay to such Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the 
applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 2.22(e) prior to the time that any 
Revolving Credit Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (f); any 
such amounts received by the Administrative Agent thereafter will be promptly 
remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that 
shall have made such payments and to such Issuing Bank, as their interests 
may appear.  If any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata 
Percentage of such L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as 
provided above, such Revolving Credit Lender and the applicable Borrower 
severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and 
including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this 
paragraph to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the 
Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank at (i) in the case 
of such Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to 
Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(a), and (ii) in the case of such 
Revolving Credit Lender, for the first such day, the Federal Funds Effective 
Rate, and for each day thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate.

         SECTION 2.03.  Borrowing Procedure.  In order to request a Borrowing 
(other than a deemed Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(f), as to which this 
Section 2.03 shall not apply), a Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy to 
the Administrative Agent a duly completed Borrowing Request (a) in the case 
of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time,

Borrowing made as part of the Note Repurchase Loans on the Series A Notes 
Repurchase Date, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time on such date, 
and (c) in the case of any other ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, 
New York City time, one Business Day before a proposed Borrowing.  Each 
Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, shall be signed by or on behalf of 
the applicable Borrower and shall specify the following information:  (i) 
whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Revolving Credit 
Borrowing or a Note Repurchase Borrowing and whether such Borrowing is to be 
a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, provided that any Borrowing on 
the Closing Date, and any Borrowing on the Series A Notes Repurchase Date 
consisting of Note Repurchase Loans made pursuant to clause (b) above shall 
be an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a 
Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds 
are to be disbursed

                                                                             32



(which shall be an account that complies with the requirements of Section 
2.02(c)); (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to 
be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; 
provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any 
Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the 
requirements set forth in Section 2.02.  If no election as to the Type of 
Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall 
be an ABR Borrowing.  If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar 
Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the applicable Borrower shall 
be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.  The 
Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given 
pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each 
Lender's portion of the requested Borrowing.

         SECTION 2.04.  Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans.  (a)  The 
Borrowers, jointly and severally, unconditionally promise to pay to the 
Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (i) the principal amount 
of each Note Repurchase Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.12 and 
(ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender 
on the Maturity Date.

         (b)  Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual 
practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers 
to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to 
time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to 
such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

         (c)  The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it 
will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and 
the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or 
interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to 
each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the 
Administrative Agent hereunder from any Borrower or any Guarantor and each 
Lender's share thereof.

         (d)  The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to 
paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence 
and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the 
failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts 
or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the 
Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.

         (e)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the 
event any Lender shall request and receive a promissory note payable to such 
Lender and its registered assigns, the interests represented by such note 
shall at all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such 
interests pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory 
notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns.

         SECTION 2.05.  Fees.  (a)  The Borrowers agree to pay to each 
Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, 
June, September and December in each year (calculated to such last Business 
Day, as applicable, of March, June, September and December) and on the date 
on which the applicable Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be 
terminated as provided herein, a commitment fee (a "Commitment Fee") equal to 
the Applicable Percentage per annum in effect from time to time on the 
average daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the 
preceding quarter (or other period commencing with the date of acceptance by 


<PAGE>

                                                                             33




the Borrowers of the Commitment of such Lender or ending with the Maturity 
Date or the date on which the applicable Commitments of such Lender shall 
expire or be terminated), provided that the aggregate fees payable on any 
such day shall not exceed the amount that would have been payable if no 
assignment of any Lender's interest had occurred during the applicable three 
month period.  All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the 
actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.  The Commitment Fee due 
to each Lender shall commence to accrue on the later of the date of this 
Agreement and the date of acceptance by the Borrowers of the applicable 
Commitment of such Lender and shall cease to accrue on the date on which the 
applicable Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as 
provided herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 
2.05(a), no fees shall be payable upon the expiration or termination of any 
Note Repurchase Loan Commitment if (i) such expiration or termination is the 
result of the making of a Note Repurchase Loan on the Series A Notes 
Repurchase Date or (ii) the applicable Lender's aggregate amount of 
Commitments does not decrease as a result of such termination or expiration.

         (b)  The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its 
own account, the administrative fees set forth in the Fee Letter at the times 
and in the amounts specified therein (the "Administrative Agent Fees").

         (c)  The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to each Revolving Credit Lender, 
through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, 
September and December of each year (calculated to such last Business Day, as 
applicable, of March, June, September and December) and on the date on which 
the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Credit Lender shall be 
terminated as provided herein, a fee (an "L/C Participation Fee") calculated 
on such Revolving Credit Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the average daily 
aggregate L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to 
unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the preceding quarter (or shorter 
period commencing with the date hereof or ending with the Maturity Date or 
the date on which all Letters of Credit have been canceled or have expired 
and the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders shall have been 
terminated) at a rate equal to the Applicable Percentage from time to time 
used to determine the interest rate on Revolving Credit Borrowings comprised 
of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 2.06; provided that the aggregate 
fees payable on any such day shall not exceed the amount that would have been 
payable if no assignment of any Revolving Credit Lender's interest had 
occurred during the applicable three month period, and (ii) to each Issuing 
Bank with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it, (x) a fee equal to 
0.125% per annum of the face amount of such Letter of Credit, payable 
quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each quarter (calculated to 
such last Business Day, as applicable, of March, June, September and 
December) and (y) the standard issuance and administration fees specified 
from time to time by such Issuing Bank (the "Issuing Bank Fees").  All L/C 
Participation Fees and Issuing Bank Fees shall be computed on the basis of 
the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

         (d)  All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately 
available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as 
appropriate, among the Lenders, except that the Issuing Bank Fees shall be 
paid directly to the respective Issuing Banks.  Once paid, none of the Fees 
shall be refundable under any circumstances.

         SECTION 2.06.  Interest on Loans.  (a)  Subject to the provisions of 
Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest 
(computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 
365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when the Alternate Base 

<PAGE>

                                                                             34



Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days 
at all other times) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus 
the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time.

         (b)  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising 
each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the 
actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum 
equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such 
Borrowing plus the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time.

         (c)  Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment 
Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. 
The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest 
Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be 
determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be 
conclusive absent manifest error.

         SECTION 2.07.  Default Interest.  If the Borrowers shall default in 
the payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount 
becoming due hereunder, by acceleration or otherwise, or under any other Loan 
Document, the Borrowers shall on demand from time to time pay interest, to 
the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount to, but excluding, the 
date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) (a) in the case of 
overdue principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to 
Section 2.06 plus 2.00% per annum and (b) in all other cases, at a rate per 
annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year 
of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when determined by reference to the 
Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) equal to the sum 
of the Alternate Base Rate plus 2.00%.

         SECTION 2.08.  Alternate Rate of Interest.  If, and on each occasion 
that, on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest 
Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent shall have 
determined that dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans 
comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank 
market, or that the rates at which such dollar deposits are being offered 
will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of making or 
maintaining its Eurodollar Loan during such Interest Period, or that 
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the 
Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written 
or telecopy notice of such determination to the Borrowers and the Lenders.  
In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall 
have advised the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise 
to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrowers for a Eurodollar 
Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR 
Borrowing.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be 
conclusive absent manifest error.

         SECTION 2.09.  Termination and Reduction of Commitments.  (a)  The 
Note Repurchase Loan Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m., 
New York City time, on the Series A Notes Repurchase Date.  The Revolving 
Credit Commitments and the L/C Commitments shall automatically terminate on 
the Maturity Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all the Commitments and 
L/C Commitments shall automatically terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City 
time, on June 30, 1997, if the initial Credit Event shall not have occurred 
by such time.

                                                                             35



         (b)  Upon at least two Business Days' prior irrevocable written or 
telecopy notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers may at any time 
after the Series A Notes Repurchase Date in whole permanently terminate, or 
from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Revolving Credit 
Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the 
Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 
and in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and (ii) the Total Revolving Credit 
Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the Aggregate 
Credit Exposure at the time.

         (c)  Each reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments or the Note 
Repurchase Loan Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders 
in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments.  The Borrowers 
shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, on the 
date of each termination or reduction, the Commitment Fees on the amount of 
the Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to but excluding the date of 
such termination or reduction.

         (d)  The Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall be automatically 
reduced on the Series A Notes Repurchase Date by an amount equal to the Note 
Repurchase Loan Amount; provided, however, that in the event the outstanding 
Notes Repurchase Loans are repaid in full within 12 months after the Series A 
Notes Repurchase Date from the net proceeds of the issuance of Permitted 
Subordinated Indebtedness or equity capital of the Parent Borrower, then if 
requested by the Parent Borrower in writing not less than 20 days prior to 
such repayment, subject to the consent of each Lender affected thereby in 
accordance with Section  9.08(b), the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall 
be increased by the amount that the Notes Repurchase Loans are so repaid.  In 
the event that no Note Repurchase Loans are made on the Series A Notes 
Repurchase Date, the Note Repurchase Commitment shall automatically terminate 
and the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be reduced.

         SECTION 2.10.  Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings.  The 
applicable Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable 
notice to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 12:00 (noon), New York 
City time, one Business Day prior to conversion, to convert any Eurodollar 
Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City 
time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any 
ABR Borrowing into a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar 
Borrowing as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, and 
(c) not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior 
to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar 
Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the 
following:

         (i) subject to Section 2.15, each conversion or continuation shall 
    be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective 
    principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued 
    Borrowing;

         (ii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any 
    Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing 
    shall satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) 
    regarding the principal amount and maximum number of Borrowings of the 
    relevant Type;

<PAGE>

                                                                             36



         (iii) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the 
    Administrative Agent by recording for the account of such Lender the new 
    Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan 
    (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent 
    principal amount; accrued interest on any Eurodollar Loan (or portion 
    thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrowers at the time of 
    conversion;

         (iv) if any Eurodollar Borrowing is converted at a time other than 
    the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrowers shall 
    pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16;

         (v) any portion of a Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid in 
    less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a 
    Eurodollar Borrowing;

         (vi) any portion of a Eurodollar Borrowing that cannot be converted 
    into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing by reason of the immediately 
    preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the 
    Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing;

         (vii) no Interest Period may be selected for any Eurodollar Note 
    Repurchase Borrowing that would end later than a repayment date occurring 
    on or after the first day of such Interest Period if, after giving effect 
    to such selection, the aggregate outstanding amount of (A) the Eurodollar 
    Note Repurchase Borrowings with Interest Periods ending on or prior to 
    such repayment date and (B) the ABR Note Repurchase Borrowings would not 
    be at least equal to the principal amount of Note Repurchase Borrowings 
    to be paid on such repayment date; and

         (viii) upon notice to the Borrowers from the Administrative Agent 
    given at the request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and 
    during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, no outstanding 
    Loan may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Loan.

         Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall refer to this 
Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the 
applicable Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such 
Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an 
ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such 
conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to 
be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period 
with respect thereto.  If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice 
with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, 
the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period 
of one month's duration.  The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders 
of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender's 
portion of any converted or continued Borrowing.  If the applicable Borrower 
shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue 
any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have 
given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), 
such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto 
(unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be continued into 
a new Interest Period as an ABR Borrowing.

         SECTION 2.11.  Prepayment.  (a)  The Borrowers shall have the right 
at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in 
part, upon at least two Business Days' prior written or telecopy notice (or 
telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or telecopy notice) to the 
Administrative Agent before 11:00 a.m., New York City time; provided, 
however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an 
integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000.

         (b)  Optional prepayments of Note Repurchase Loans shall be applied 
as directed by the Parent Borrower against the remaining principal due in 
respect of the Note Repurchase Loans.

         (c)  Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and 
the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, 
shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrowers to prepay such Borrowing 
by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein.  All prepayments 
under this Section 2.11 shall be subject to Section 2.16 but otherwise 
without premium or penalty.  All prepayments under this Section 2.11 shall be 
accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the 
date of payment.

         SECTION 2.12.  Repayment of Note Repurchase Borrowings. (a)  The 
Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the 
Lenders, on the dates set forth below or, if any such date is not a Business 
Day, on the next preceding Business Day (each such date being a "Note 
Repurchase Loan Repayment Date"), a principal amount of the Note Repurchase 
Loans (such amount, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to this Section 
2.12 and Sections 2.11 and 2.13, being called the "Note Repurchase Loan 
Repayment Amount") equal to the percentage set forth below for

of the Series A Notes Repurchase Date, together in each case with accrued and 
unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date 
of such payment:

         Maturity Date                 10%

         (b)  To the extent not previously paid, all Note Repurchase Loans 
shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

         (c)  All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be subject 
to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

         SECTION 2.13.  Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. (a)  
Not later than the third Business Day following the completion of any Asset 
Sale or any transaction described in Section 6.05(g), the Borrowers shall 
apply 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received with respect thereto to prepay 
out-standing Note Repurchase Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(d); 
provided, however, that no such prepayment shall be required until the 
September 30 that is immediately after the completion of any such Asset Sale 
if the applicable Net Cash Proceeds plus all other Net Cash Proceeds that 
have yet to be applied in accordance with this Section 2.13(a) are less than 
$5,000,000.

         (b)  No later than the earlier of (i) 120 days after the end of each 
fiscal year of the Parent Borrower, commencing with the fiscal year ending on 
September 30, 1998, and (ii) the date on which the financial statements with 
respect to such period are delivered pursuant to Section 5.04(a), the Parent 
Borrower shall prepay outstanding Note Repurchase Loans in accordance with 
Sec-tion 2.13(d) in an aggregate principal 

<PAGE>

                                                                             39


amount equal to 75% (or, if at such time the aggregate principal amount of 
outstanding Note Repurchase Loans is less than $100,000,000, 50%) of Excess 
Cash Flow for the fiscal year then ended.

         (c)  In the event that any Borrower or any Guarantor shall receive 
Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance of Indebtedness for money borrowed of any 
Borrower or any Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness for money borrowed 
permitted pursuant to Section 6.01(i) or Section 6.01(n)), the Borrowers 
shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the 
third Business Day next following) the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, 
apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding 
Note Repurchase Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(d); provided, however, 
that no such prepayment shall be required until the September 30 that is 
immediately after such issuance if the applicable Net Cash Proceeds plus all 
other Net Cash Proceeds that have yet to be applied in accordance with this 
Section 2.13(c) are less than $5,000,000.

         (d)  Mandatory prepayments of outstanding Note Repurchase Loans 
under this Agreement shall be applied pro rata against the remaining 
scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Note Repurchase 
Loans under Sections 2.12(a).

         (e)  In the event that, upon the occurrence of any event described 
in Section 2.13(a), no Note Repurchase Loans are outstanding (or the amount 
required to be applied pursuant to such Section exceeds the aggregate 
principal amount of outstanding Note Repurchase Loans), Revolving Credit 
Commitments shall be reduced pro rata by the amount of the prepayment that 
would have been required in respect of Note Repurchase Loans had there been 
Note Repurchase Loans outstanding (after giving effect to any prepayment 
thereof); provided, however, that no such reduction shall be required until 
the September 30 that is immediately after such event if the applicable Net 
Cash Proceeds plus all other Net Cash Proceeds that have yet to be applied in 
accordance with this Section 2.13(e) are less than $5,000,000.  The Borrowers 
shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit 
Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction pursuant to this 
Section  2.13(e), the Commitment Fees on the amount of the Revolving Credit 
Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to but excluding the date of 
such termination or reduction.

         (f)  In the event of any termination of all the Revolving Credit 
Commitments, the Borrowers shall repay or prepay all outstanding Revolving 
Credit Borrowings on the date of such termination.  In the event of any 
partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, then (i) at or prior 
to the effective date of such reduction, the Administrative Agent shall 
notify the Borrowers and the Revolving Credit Lenders of the Aggregate Credit 
Exposure after giving effect thereto and (ii) if the Aggregate Credit 
Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment after giving 
effect to such reduction, then the Borrowers shall, on the date of such 
reduction, repay or prepay Revolving Credit Borrowings in an amount 
sufficient to eliminate such excess.

         (g)  If following any reduction of the Total Revolving Credit 
Commitment pursuant to Section 2.13(e) and any payments required pursuant to 
Section 2.13(f), the Total Revolving Credit Commitment is less than the L/C 
Exposure, the Borrowers shall, on the date of such reduction, replace 
out-standing Letters of Credit or deposit an amount in cash in a collateral 
account established with the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 
2.22(j), in an amount equal to the amount that the L/C Exposure exceeds the 
Total Revolving Credit Commitment upon such date of reduction.

         (h)  Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.13 to the 
pre-payment of Loans shall be applied, as applicable, first to reduce 
outstanding ABR Loans.  Any amounts remaining after each such application 
shall, at the option of the Parent Borrower, be applied to prepay Eurodollar 
Loans immediately and/or shall be deposited in the Prepayment Account (as 
defined below).  The Administrative Agent shall apply any cash deposited in 
the Prepayment Account (i) allocable to Note Repurchase Loans to prepay 
Eurodollar Note Repurchase Loans and (ii) allocable to Revolving Loans to 
prepay Eurodollar Revolving Loans, in each case on the last day of their 
respective Interest Periods (or, at the direction of the Parent Borrower, on 
any earlier date) until all outstanding Note Repurchase Loans or Revolving 
Loans, as the case may be, have been prepaid or until all the allocable cash 
on deposit with respect to such Loans has been exhausted.  For purposes of 
this Agreement, the term "Prepayment Account" shall mean an account 
established by the Parent Borrower with the Administrative Agent and over 
which the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, 
including the exclusive right of withdrawal for application in accordance 
with this paragraph (h).  The Administrative Agent will, at the request of 
the Parent Borrower, invest amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account in 
Permitted Investments that mature prior to the last day of the applicable 
Interest Periods of the Eurodollar Note Repurchase Borrowings or Eurodollar 
Revolving Borrowings to be prepaid, as the case may be; provided, however, 
that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to make any 
investment that, in its sole judgment, would require or cause the 
Administrative Agent to be in, or would result in any, violation of any law, 
statute, rule or regulation and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have no 
obligation to invest amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account if a 
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  The 
Parent Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for any losses 
relating to the investments so that the amount available to prepay Eurodollar 
Borrowings on the last day of the applicable Interest Period is not less than 
the amount that would have been available had no investments been made 
pursuant thereto.  Any interest earned on such investments shall be deposited 
in the Prepayment Account and reinvested and disbursed as specified above.  
If the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated pursuant to Article VII, 
the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, apply all amounts on 
deposit in the Prepayment Account to satisfy any of the Obligations.  The 
Parent Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit 
and the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, a security interest in 
the Prepayment Account to secure the Obligations.

         SECTION 2.14.  Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a)  
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if after the date of 
this Agreement any change in applicable law or regulation or in the 
interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority 
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not 
having the force of law) shall change the basis of taxation of payments to 
any Lender or an Issuing Bank of the principal of or interest on any 
Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender or any Fees or other amounts payable 
hereunder (other than changes in respect of taxes imposed on the overall net 
income of such Lender or Issuing Bank by the jurisdiction in which such 
Lender or Issuing Bank has its principal office or by any political 
subdivision or taxing authority therein), or shall impose, modify or deem 
applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets 
of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender or 
an Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in 
the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or shall impose on such Lender or Issuing Bank or the 
London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or 
Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation 
therein, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost 
to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar 

<PAGE>

                                                                             41



Loan or increase the cost to any Lender or Issuing Bank of issuing or 
maintaining any Letter of Credit or purchasing or maintaining a participation 
therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such 
Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or 
otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to be material, 
then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may 
be, upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such 
Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs 
incurred or reduction suffered.

         (b)  If any Lender or an Issuing Bank shall have determined that the 
adoption after the date hereof of any law, rule, regulation, agreement or 
guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change after the date hereof in 
any such law, rule, regulation, agreement or guideline (whether such law, 
rule, regulation, agreement or guideline has been adopted) or in the 
interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority 
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by 
any Lender (or any lending office of such Lender) or an Issuing Bank or any 
Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company with any request or directive 
regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any 
Governmental Authority has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of 
return on such Lender's or Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital of such 
Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this 
Agreement or the Loans made or participations in Letters of Credit purchased 
by such Lender pursuant hereto or the Letters of Credit issued by such 
Issuing Bank pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or 
Issuing Bank or such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company could have 
achieved but for such applicability, adoption, change or compliance (taking 
into consideration such Lender's or Issuing Bank's policies and the policies 
of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to capital 
adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to be material, 
then from time to time the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or Issuing 
Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will 
compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender's or Issuing Bank's 
holding company for any such reduction suffered.

         (c)  A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth the 
amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or an Issuing Bank or 
its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) 
above shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent 
manifest error. Such certificate (i) shall set forth in reasonable detail the 
conditions giving rise to a circumstance or situation under Section 2.14(a) 
or (b),  and (ii) shall set forth the calculations of the amounts to be paid 
by the applicable Borrower (which calculations shall be made in the same 
manner as for similar outstanding loans made by such Lender of a similar type 
and amount as Loans by such Lender under this Agreement to persons of 
creditworthiness similar to that of the Parent Borrower), and, if made in 
accordance with this sentence, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  
The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank the amount shown as due 
on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of 
the same.

         (d)  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank 
to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts 
received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute 
a waiver of such Lender's or Issuing Bank's right to demand such 
compensation.  The protection of this Section shall be available to each 
Lender and Issuing Bank regardless of any possible contention of the 
invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, agreement, 
guideline or other change or condition that shall have occurred or been 
imposed.

         SECTION 2.15.  Change in Legality.  (a)  Notwithstanding any other 
provision of this Agreement, if, after the date hereof, any change in any law 
or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority 
charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make it 
unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give 
effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any 
Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrowers and to the 
Administrative Agent:

         (i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not 
    thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender 
    hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods and ABR Loans 
    will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar 
    Loans), where-upon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing (or to convert 
    an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar 
    Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender 
    only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an 
    ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a 
    Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such 
    declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

         (ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans 
    made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar 
    Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective 
    date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

If any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments 
and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay 
the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the 
converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay 
the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the 
conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.

         (b)  For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to the Borrowers by 
any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, 
if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to 
such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on 
the date of receipt by the Borrowers.

         SECTION 2.16.  Indemnity.  The Borrowers, jointly and severally, 
shall indemnify each Lender against any loss (but excluding lost profits) or 
expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any 
event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its 
obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being 
deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurodollar 
Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the 
conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the 
Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, in each case other than 
on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any 
Eurodollar Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to 
be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not 
being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrowers 
hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a 
"Breakage Event") or (b) any default in the making of any payment or 
prepayment required to be made hereunder.  In the case of any Breakage Event, 
such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably 
determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the 
Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for 

<PAGE>

                                                                             43



the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the 
Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan 
over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in 
redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage 
Event for such period.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount 
or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 
2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent 
manifest error.

         SECTION 2.17.  Pro Rata Treatment.  Except as required under Section 
2.15, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any 
Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the 
Commitment Fees, each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments  or the 
Note Repurchase Loan Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or 
continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated 
pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable 
Commitments (or, if such applicable Commitments shall have expired or been 
terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their 
outstanding Loans).  Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender's 
portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, 
in its discretion, round each Lender's percentage of such Borrowing to the 
next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

         SECTION 2.18.  Sharing of Setoffs.  Each Lender agrees that if it 
shall, through the exercise of a right of banker's lien, setoff or 
counterclaim against the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a 
secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or 
other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, 
received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other 
similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or 
involuntary) in respect of any Loan or Loans or L/C Disbursement as a result 
of which the unpaid principal portion of its Revolving Loans and Note 
Repurchase Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements shall be 
proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Revolving Loans 
and Note Repurchase Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements of any 
other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such 
other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the 
purchase price for, a participation in the Revolving Loans and Note 
Repurchase Loans and L/C Exposure, as the case may be, of such other Lender, 
so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Note 
Repurchase Loans and L/C Exposure and participations in Revolving Loans and 
Note Repurchase Loans and L/C Exposure held by each Lender shall be in the 
same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving 
Loans and Note Repurchase Loans and L/C Exposure then outstanding as the 
principal amount of its Revolving Loans and Note Repurchase Loans and L/C 
Exposure prior to such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or 
other event was to the principal amount of all Revolving Loans and Note 
Repurchase Loans and L/C Exposure outstanding prior to such exercise of 
banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that 
if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to 
this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be 
recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to 
the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment 
restored without interest.  The Borrowers expressly consent to the foregoing 
arrangements and agree that any Lender holding a participation in a Revolving 
Loan and Note Repurchase Loan or L/C Disbursement deemed to have been so 
purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, setoff or 
counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrowers to 
such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan 
directly to the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

         SECTION 2.19.  Payments.  (a)  The Borrowers shall make each payment 
(including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any L/C Disbursement 
or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not 
later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date when due in 
immediately available dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim.  Each 
such payment (other than Issuing Bank Fees, which shall be paid directly to 
the respective Issuing Banks, and other than payments pursuant to Sections 
2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05, which shall be made to the persons entitled 
thereto) shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at One 
Chase Manhattan Plaza, 8th Floor, New York, New York 10081.

         (b)  Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any 
Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan 
Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a 
Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, 
and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation 
of interest or Fees, if applicable.

         SECTION 2.20.  Taxes.  (a)  Any and all payments by or on behalf of 
the Borrowers or any Loan Party hereunder and under any other Loan Document 
shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.19, free and clear of and without 
deduction for any and all current or future taxes, levies, imposts, 
deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect 
thereto, excluding (i) income taxes imposed on the net income of the 
Administrative Agent, any Lender or either Issuing Bank (or any permitted 
assignee thereof, (any such entity a "Transferee")) and (ii) franchise taxes 
imposed on the net income of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or an 
Issuing Bank (or Transferee), in each case by the jurisdiction under the laws 
of which the Administrative Agent, such Lender or an Issuing Bank (or 
Transferee) is organized or any political sub-division thereof (all such 
nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and 
liabilities, collectively or individually, being called "Taxes").  If the 
Borrowers or any Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Taxes from or in 
respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the 
Administrative Agent, any Lender or an Issuing Bank (or any Transferee), (i) 
the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an "additional amount") 
necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions 
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20) the 
Administrative Agent, such Lender or an Issuing Bank (or Transferee), as the 
case may be, shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received 
had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers or such Loan Party shall 
make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers or such Loan Party shall pay the 
full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance 
with applicable law.

         (b)  In addition, the Borrowers agree to pay to the relevant 
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or 
future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, 
charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under 
any other Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, 
or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document 
("Other Taxes").

         (c)  The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each 
Lender and each Issuing Bank (or Transferee) for the full amount of Taxes and 
Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing 
Bank (or Transferee), as the case may be, and any liability (including 
penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and 
expenses)) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such 
Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally 

<PAGE>

                                                                             45



asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the 
amount of such payment or liability prepared by the Administrative Agent, a 
Lender or an Issuing Bank (or Transferee), or the Administrative Agent on its 
behalf and accompanied by a copy of any relevant notices received from a 
Governmental Authority and any return or form prepared or filed by the 
Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank (or Transferee) in 
connection with such payment or liability, absent manifest error, shall be 
conclusive for all purposes.  Such indemnification shall be made within 30 
days after the date the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank 
(or Transferee), as the case may be, makes written demand therefor.

         (d)  As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes 
or Other Taxes by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party to the relevant 
Governmental Authority, the Borrowers or such other Loan Party will deliver 
to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.01, the 
original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental 
Authority evidencing payment thereof.

         (e)  Each Lender (or Transferee) that is organized under the laws of 
a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the 
District of Columbia (a "Non-U.S. Lender") shall deliver to the Parent 
Borrower and the Administrative Agent two copies of either United States 
Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or Form 4224, or, in the case of a 
Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax under 
Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of "portfolio 
interest", a Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors 
thereto (and, if such Non-U.S. Lender delivers a Form W-8, a certificate 
representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 
881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of 
Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrowers and is not a controlled 
foreign corporation related to the Borrowers (within the meaning of Section 
864(d)(4) of the Code)), properly completed and duly executed by such 
Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. 
Federal withholding tax on payments by the Borrowers under this Agreement and 
the other Loan Documents.  Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. 
Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement and on or 
before the date, if any, such Non-U.S. Lender changes its applicable lending 
office by designating a different lending office (a "New Lending Office").  
In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the 
obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. 
Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.20(e), a 
Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this 
Section 2.20(e) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

         (f)  The Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. 
Lender or to pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Lender, in respect of 
United States Federal withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) or (c) above 
to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to 
United States Federal withholding tax existed on the date such Non-U.S. 
Lender became a party to this Agreement or, with respect to payments to a New 
Lending Office, the date such Non-U.S. Lender designated such New Lending 
Office with respect to a Loan or a Letter of Credit; provided, however, that 
this paragraph (f) shall not apply (x) to any Transferee or New Lending 
Office that becomes a Transferee or New Lending Office as a result of an 
assignment, transfer or designation made at the request of the Borrowers and 
(y) to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any Transferee, 
or any Lender (or Transferee), acting through a New Lending Office, would be 
entitled to receive (without regard to this paragraph (f)) do not exceed the 
indemnity 

<PAGE>

                                                                             46



payment or additional amounts that the person making the assignment, or 
transfer to such Transferee, or Lender (or Transferee) making the designation 
of such New Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the 
absence of such assignment, transfer or designation or (ii) the obligation to 
pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such 
Non-U.S. Lender to comply with the provisions of paragraph (e) above.

         (g)  Nothing contained in this Section 2.20 shall require any Lender 
or Issuing Bank (or any Transferee) or the Administrative Agent to make 
available any of its tax returns (or any other information that it deems to 
be confidential or proprietary).

         SECTION 2.21.  Assignment of Commitments Under Certain 
Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate.  (a)  If (i) any Lender delivers a 
certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender 
delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) the Borrowers are 
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental 
Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, the Borrowers 
may, at their sole expense and effort (including with respect to the 
processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)), upon notice 
to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender or Issuing 
Bank to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject 
to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights 
and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such 
assigned obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender 
accepts such assignment); provided that (x) such assignment shall not 
conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other 
Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Borrowers shall have 
received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a 
Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, of each Issuing Bank), which 
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, and (z) the Borrowers or such 
assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender in immediately available 
funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to 
the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans or L/C Disbursements of 
such Lender, respectively, plus all Fees and other amounts accrued for the 
account of such Lender hereunder (including any amounts under Section 2.14 
and Section 2.16); provided further that, if prior to any such transfer and 
assignment the circum-stances or event that resulted in such Lender's claim 
for compensation under Section 2.14 or notice under Section 2.15 or the 
amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, cease to cause 
such Lender to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or 
receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the 
consequences specified in Section 2.15, or cease to result in amounts being 
payable under Section 2.20, as the case may be (including as a result of any 
action taken by such Lender pursuant to paragraph (b) below), or if such 
Lender shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.14 
in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under 
Section 2.15 or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.20 
in respect of such circumstances or event, as the case may be, then such 
Lender shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and 
assignment hereunder.

         (b)  If (i) any Lender shall request compensation under Section 
2.14, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) 
the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any 
Governmental Authority on account of any Lender,  pursuant to Section 2.20, 
then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such 
Lender to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or 
otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or 
regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to 
be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document (including any 
document

                                                                             47



contesting the imposition of any such amount or requesting a refund of such 
amount by any relevant Governmental Authority) reasonably requested in 
writing by the Borrowers or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and  
transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or 
affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for 
compensation under Section 2.14 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant 
to Section 2.15 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20, as 
the case may be, in the future. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all 
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any 
such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.  Any Lender receiving any 
refund or rebate of any amounts paid by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20 
shall promptly pay the same to the applicable Borrower.

         SECTION 2.22.  Letters of Credit.  (a)  General.  Any Borrower may 
request the issuance by either Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit for such 
Borrower's own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative 
Agent and such Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time while the 
Revolving Credit Commitments remain in effect.  This Section shall not be 
construed to impose an obligation upon either Issuing Bank to issue any 
Letter of Credit that is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this 
Agreement.

         (b)  Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain 
Conditions.  In order to request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or to 
amend, renew or extend an existing Letter of Credit), any Borrower or any 
Guarantor shall hand deliver or telecopy to an Issuing Bank and the 
Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of 
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance 
of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, 
renewed or extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, 
the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with 
paragraph (c) below), the face amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and 
address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be 
necessary to prepare such Letter of Credit.  Following receipt of such notice 
and prior to the issuance of the requested Letter of Credit or the applicable 
amendment, renewal or extension, the Administrative Agent shall notify the 
Borrowers and the applicable Issuing Bank of the amount of the Aggregate 
Credit Exposure after giving effect to (i) the issuance, amendment, renewal 
or extension of such Letter of Credit, (ii) the issuance or expiration of 
each other Letter of Credit that is to be issued or will expire on or prior 
to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and (iii) the 
borrowing or repayment of any Revolving Loans that (based upon notices 
delivered to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers) are to be borrowed or 
repaid on or prior to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of 
Credit.  A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended 
only if, and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of 
Credit the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant that, after 
giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (A) the L/C 
Exposure shall not exceed $50,000,000 and (B) the Aggregate Credit Exposure 
shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment.

         (c)  Expiration Date.  Each Letter of Credit shall expire at the 
close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of 
the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (ii) the date that is five Business 
Days prior to the Maturity Date, unless such Letter of Credit expires by its 
terms on an earlier date.

         (d)  Participations.  By the issuance of a Letter of Credit and 
without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the 
Revolving Credit Lenders, the Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of 
Credit hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each such

                                                                             48



Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter 
of Credit equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount 
available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, effective upon the 
issuance of such Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of 
the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and 
unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of 
such Issuing Bank, such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of each L/C Disbursement 
made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers (or, if 
applicable, another party pursuant to its obligations under any other Loan 
Document) forthwith on the date due as provided in Section 2.02(f).  Each 
Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to 
acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of 
Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any 
circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a 
Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made 
without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

         (e)  Reimbursement.  If an Issuing Bank shall make any L/C 
Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall pay to the 
Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than 
2:00 p.m. on the day the Borrowers shall have received notice from such 
Issuing Bank that payment of such draft will be made, or, if the Borrowers 
shall have received such notice later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on 
any Business Day, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the 
immediately following Business Day.

         (f)  Obligations Absolute.  The Borrowers' obligations to reimburse 
L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) above shall be absolute, 
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance 
with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, 
and irrespective of:

         (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit 
    or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein; 

         (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all 
    or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;

         (iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right 
    that the Borrowers, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated 
    with, the Borrowers, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any 
    other person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any 
    Letter of Credit, either Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any 
    Lender or any other person, whether in connection with this Agreement, 
    any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or 
    transaction;

         (iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit 
    proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect 
    or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

         (v) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against 
    presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the 
    terms of such Letter of Credit; and

         (vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of either 
    Issuing Bank, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other person 
    or any other event or circumstance 

<PAGE>

                                                                             49



    whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, 
    but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable 
    discharge of the Borrowers' obligations hereunder.

         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly 
understood and agreed that the absolute and unconditional obligation of the 
Borrowers hereunder to reimburse L/C Disbursements will not be excused by the 
gross negligence or willful misconduct of either Issuing Bank.  However, the 
foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to 
the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to 
consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the 
Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the 
Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Bank's gross negligence or willful 
misconduct in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under 
a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof; it is understood that an 
Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, 
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or 
information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of 
Credit (i) an Issuing Bank's exclusive reliance on the documents presented to 
it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, 
including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of 
Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals 
the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant 
to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such 
document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other 
statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit 
proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be 
inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever and (ii) any noncompliance in 
any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit 
with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute 
willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Issuing Bank.

         (g)  Disbursement Procedures.  An Issuing Bank shall, promptly 
following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent 
a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit.  Such Issuing Bank shall as 
promptly as possible give telephonic notification, confirmed by telecopy, to 
the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers of such demand for payment and 
whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement 
thereunder (it being understood that such notice shall not be required if 
prior to any L/C Disbursement the Borrowers have made available to the 
applicable Issuing Bank funds sufficient to reimburse such Issuing Bank for 
such L/C Disbursement), provided that any failure to give or delay in giving 
such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse 
such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any such 
L/C Disbursement.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each 
Revolving Credit Lender notice thereof.

         (h)  Interim Interest.  If on any date an Issuing Bank shall make 
any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, then, unless the 
Borrowers shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on such date, the 
unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest for the account of such Issuing 
Bank, for each day from and including the date of such L/C Disbursement, to 
but excluding the earlier of the date of payment by the Borrowers or the date 
on which interest shall commence to accrue thereon as provided in Section 
2.02(f), at the rate per annum that would apply to such amount if such amount 
were an ABR Loan.

                                                                             50



         (i)  Resignation or Removal of an Issuing Bank.  An Issuing Bank may 
resign at any time by giving 180 days' prior written notice to the 
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrowers, and may be removed at 
any time by the Borrowers by notice to such Issuing Bank, the Administrative 
Agent and the Lenders.  Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph (i), 
upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a 
Lender that shall agree to serve as a successor Issuing Bank, such successor 
shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and 
obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank and the retiring Issuing Bank shall 
be discharged from its obligations to issue additional Letters of Credit 
hereunder.  At the time such removal or resignation shall become effective, 
the Borrowers shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees due to the retiring 
Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(ii).  The acceptance of any 
appointment as an Issuing Bank here-under by a successor Lender shall be 
subject to approval, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is 
continuing, by the Parent Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably 
withheld) and shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such 
successor, in a form satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Administrative 
Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such 
successor Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the previous 
Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) 
references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term "Issuing Bank" 
shall be deemed to include such successor or any previous Issuing Bank, or to 
such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. 
After the resignation or removal of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring 
Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the 
rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other 
Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such 
resignation or removal, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters 
of Credit.

         (j)  Cash Collateralization.  If (i) any Event of Default shall 
occur and be continuing or (ii) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment is less 
than the L/C Exposure, the Borrowers shall, on the Business Day they receive 
notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders thereof and of 
the amount to be deposited, deposit in an account with the Collateral Agent, 
for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 
the L/C Exposure as of such date.  Such deposit shall be held by the 
Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the 
Obligations.  The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, 
including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.  Other than 
any interest earned on the investment of such deposits in Permitted 
Investments, which investments shall be made by the Collateral Agent and 
selected in its sole discretion, such deposits shall not bear interest.  
Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such 
account.  Moneys in such account shall (i) automatically be applied by the 
Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for L/C Disbursements for 
which they have not been reimbursed, (ii) be held for the satisfaction of the 
reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the L/C Exposure at such time 
and (iii) if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but, if there 
are Note Repurchase Loans outstanding, subject to the consent of Revolving 
Credit Lenders holding participations in outstanding Letters of Credit 
representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all 
outstanding Letters of Credit), be applied to satisfy the Obligations. If the 
Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a 
result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent 
not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three 
Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.  If the 
Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder 
pursuant to Section 2.13(g), such amount shall be returned to the Borrowers 
from time to time to the extent that the amount of such cash collateral held 
by the Collateral Agent exceeds the excess, if any, 

<PAGE>

                                                                             51



of the aggregate L/C Exposure over the Total Revolving Credit Commitment; 
provided, that such return shall not be required at any time that an Event of 
Default has occurred and is continuing. 

         SECTION 2.23.  Additional Borrowers.  The parties hereto agree that 
wholly owned Domestic Subsidiaries that are not Borrowers as of the Closing 
Date may enter into and become a party to this Agreement by executing a New 
Borrower Agreement.  Upon execution and delivery after the date hereof by the 
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and such a wholly owned Subsidiary 
of a New Borrower Agreement, such Subsidiary shall become a Borrower 
hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Borrower 
herein.  The Parent Borrower may terminate any Subsidiary Borrower's 
interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement by executing and 
delivering to the Administrative Agent a Subsidiary Borrower Termination with 
respect to such Subsidiary, whereupon such Subsidiary shall cease to be a 
Subsidiary Borrower and a party to this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the 
preceding sentence, no Subsidiary Borrower Termination will become effective 
as to any Subsidiary Borrower at a time when any principal of or interest on 
any Revolving Loan to such Subsidiary Borrower shall be outstanding 
hereunder, provided that such Subsidiary Borrower Termination shall be 
effective to terminate such Subsidiary Borrower's right to make further 
Borrowings under this Agreement unless and until such Subsidiary executes 
subsequent to such termination a New Borrower Agreement. The execution and 
delivery of a New Borrower Agreement or a Subsidiary Borrower Termination 
shall not require the consent of any other Borrower hereunder.  The rights 
and obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall remain in full force and 
effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Borrower or termination of any 
Borrower as a party to this Agreement.

                                     ARTICLE III

                            Representations and Warranties

         Each of the Borrowers represents and warrants to the Administrative 
Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and 
each of the Lenders that:

         SECTION 3.01.  Organization; Powers.  Each of the Borrowers, the 
Subsidiaries and CBHS (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good 
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has all 
requisite power and authority to own its property and assets and to carry on 
its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, including 
after giving effect to the Transaction Documents, (c) is qualified to do 
business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such 
qualification is required, except where the failure so to qualify could not 
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) has 
the organizational power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its 
obligations under each of the Loan Documents and Transaction Documents and 
each other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby to which it is or will 
be a party and, in the case of the Borrowers, to borrow hereunder.

         SECTION 3.02.  Authorization.  The execution, delivery and 
performance by each Loan Party and CBHS of each of the Loan Documents and 
Transaction Documents to which it is a party, the borrowings hereunder and 
the Transactions (a) have been duly authorized by all requisite 
organizational and, if required, stockholder action and (b) will not (i) 
violate (A) in any material respect any provision of law, statute, rule or 
regulation (including any Health Care Law), or any

<PAGE>

                                                                             52



provision of the certificate or articles of incorporation or other 
constitutive documents or by-laws of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary, (B) any 
order of any Governmental Authority or (C) any provision of any indenture, 
agreement or other instrument to which the Borrowers or any Subsidiary is a 
party or by which any of them or any of their property is or may be bound, 
(ii) be in conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (alone or with 
notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, or give rise to any right 
to accelerate or to require the prepayment, repurchase or redemption of any 
obligation under any such indenture, agreement or other instrument, other 
than (x) the Series A Notes Indenture (but only with respect to the 
requirement to make an offer to repurchase the Series A Notes as a result of 
the Transactions) and (y) the Charter IRBs being paid or defeased in 
connection with the Transactions, or (iii) result in the creation or 
imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property or assets now 
owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrowers or any Subsidiary (other than 
any Lien created hereunder or under the Security Documents).

         SECTION 3.03.  Enforceability.  This Agreement has been duly 
executed and delivered by the Borrowers and constitutes, and each other Loan 
Document when executed and delivered by each Loan Party thereto will 
constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party 
enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms.

         SECTION 3.04.  Governmental Approvals.  No action, consent or 
approval of, registration or filing with or any other action by any 
Governmental Authority is or will be required in connection with the 
Transactions, except for (a) the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing 
statements and filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and 
the United States Copyright Office, (b) such as have been made or obtained 
and are in full force and effect and (c) such other filings as are set forth 
on Schedule 3.04 that the Borrowers reasonably expect to be made within six 
months following the Closing Date.

         SECTION 3.05.  Financial Statements.  (a)  The Parent Borrower has 
heretofore furnished to the Lenders its consolidated balance sheets and 
statements of operations and cash flows and changes in stockholders' equity 
(i) as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996, audited by and 
accompanied by the opinion of Arthur Anderson LLP, independent public 
accountants, and (ii) except for a statement of changes in stockholders' 
equity, as of and for the fiscal quarter and the portion of the fiscal year 
ended March 31, 1997, certified by its chief financial officer.  Such 
financial state-ments present fairly in all material respects the financial 
condition and results of operations and cash flows of the Parent Borrower and 
its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods.  Such 
balance sheets and the notes thereto disclose all material liabilities, 
direct or contingent, of the Parent Borrower and its consolidated 
Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof.  Such financial statements were 
prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis, except that 
the financial statements described in clause (ii) are condensed and comply as 
to form and presentation with the requirements of Form 10-Q of the forms 
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

         (b)  The Parent Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Lenders its 
unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1997, prepared 
giving effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on such date.  Such 
pro forma balance sheet has been prepared in good faith by the Parent 
Borrower, based on the assumptions used to prepare the pro forma financial 
information contained in the Confidential Information Memorandum (which 
assumptions are believed by the Parent Borrower on the date hereof and on the 
Closing Date to be reasonable), is based on the best information available to 
the Parent Borrower as of the date of delivery thereof, accurately reflects 
in

                                                                             53




all material respects all adjustments required on a pro forma basis to be 
made to give effect to the Transactions and presents fairly in all material 
respects on a pro forma basis the estimated consolidated financial position 
of the Parent Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of March 31, 
1997, assuming that the Transactions had actually occurred at March 31, 1997.

         SECTION 3.06.  No Material Adverse Change.  Except for the 
Transaction Documents and the effect of the Transactions, there has been no 
material adverse change in the business, assets, operations, prospects, 
condition, financial or otherwise, or material agreements of (a) the Parent 
Borrower and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, since September 30, 1996, 
and (b) CBHS and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, since March 31, 1997.

         SECTION 3.07.  Title to Properties; Possession Under Leases. (a)  
Each of the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to, 
or valid leasehold interests in, all its material properties and assets, 
except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to 
conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties and 
assets for their intended purposes.  All such material properties and assets 
are free and clear of Liens, other than Liens expressly permitted by Section 
6.02.

         (b)  Each of the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries has complied with 
all material obligations under all leases to which it is a party and that are 
material to the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole and all such 
leases are in full force and effect.  Each of the Borrowers and the 
Subsidiaries enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such 
material leases in which a Borrower or a Subsidiary is a lessee.

         SECTION 3.08.  Subsidiaries.  Schedule 3.08 sets forth as of the 
Closing Date a list of all Subsidiaries and the percentage ownership 
interest, direct or indirect, of the Parent Borrower therein.  The shares of 
capital stock or other ownership interests so indicated on Schedule 3.08 are 
fully paid and non-assessable and are owned by the Parent Borrower, directly 
or indirectly, free and clear of all Liens, except Liens under the Loan 
Documents.

         SECTION 3.09.  Litigation; Compliance with Laws.  (a)  Except as set 
forth on Schedule 3.09, there are not any actions, suits or proceedings at 
law or in equity or by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or, 
to the knowledge of the Parent Borrower, threatened against or affecting any 
Borrower or any Subsidiary or any business, property or rights of any such 
person (i) that involve any Loan Document or the Transactions or (ii) as to 
which there is a reasonable probability of an adverse determination and that, 
if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the 
aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

         (b)  None of the Borrowers or any of the Subsidiaries or any of 
their respective material properties or assets is in violation of, nor will 
the continued operation of their material properties and assets as currently 
conducted (or as proposed to be conducted pursuant to the Transaction 
Documents) violate, any law, rule or regulation (including any Health Care 
Law or Environmental Law), or is in default with respect to any judgment, 
writ, injunction, decree or order of any Governmental Authority, where such 
violation or default could reasonably be expected to result in a Material 
Adverse Effect.

         SECTION 3.10.  Agreements.  (a)  Except for the effect of the 
Transactions, none of the Borrowers or any of the Subsidiaries is a party to 
any agreement or instrument or subject to any organizational restriction that 
has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse 
Effect.

         (b)  None of the Borrowers or any of the Subsidiaries is in default 
in any manner under any provision of any indenture or other agreement or 
instrument evidencing Indebtedness, or any other material agreement or 
instrument (including any Transaction Document) to which it is a party or by 
which it or any of its properties or assets are or may be bound, where such 
default could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

         SECTION 3.11.  Federal Reserve Regulations.   (a)  None of the 
Borrowers or any of the Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its 
important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of 
buying or carrying Margin Stock.

         (b)  No part of the proceeds of any Loan or any Letter of Credit 
will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, 
incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose that entails a violation of, or 
that is inconsis-tent with, the provisions of the Regulations of the Board, 
including Regulation G, T, U or X.

         SECTION 3.12.  Investment Company Act; Public Utility Holding

company" as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment

regulation under, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.

         SECTION 3.13.  Use of Proceeds.  The Borrowers will use the proceeds 
of the Loans and will request the issuance of Letters of Credit only for the 
purposes specified in the preamble to this Agreement.

its ERISA Affiliates is in compliance in all material respects with the 
applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published 
interpretations thereunder.  No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably

could reasonably be expected to result in material liability of the Borrowers 
or any of its ERISA Affiliates.  The present value of all benefit liabilities

as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed by more than

value of all benefit liabilities of all underfunded Plans (based on those 
assumptions used to fund each such Plan) did not, as of the last annual 
valuation dates applicable thereto, exceed by more than $7,500,000 the fair 
market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans.

Subsidiaries (the "Properties") do not contain any Hazardous Materials in 
amounts or concentrations which (i) constitute, or constituted a violation 
of, (ii) require Remedial Action under, or (iii) could give rise to liability 
under, Environmental Laws, which violations, Remedial Actions and 
liabilities, in the aggregate, could result in a Material Adverse Effect;

         (b)  The Properties and all operations of the Borrowers and the 
Subsidiaries are in compliance, and in the last three years have been in 
compliance, with all Environmental Laws and all necessary Environmental 
Permits have been obtained and are in effect, except to the extent that such 
non-compliance or failure to obtain any necessary permits, in the aggregate, 
could not result in a Material Adverse Effect;

         (c)  There have been no Releases or threatened Releases at, from, 
under or proximate to the Properties or otherwise in connection with the 
operations of the Borrowers or the Subsidiaries, which Releases or threatened 
Releases, in the aggregate, could result in a Material Adverse Effect;

         (d)  Neither the Borrowers nor any of the Subsidiaries has received 
any notice of an Environmental Claim in connection with the Properties or the 
operations of the Borrowers or the Subsidiaries or with regard to any person 
whose liabilities for environmental matters any of the Borrowers or the 
Subsidiaries has retained or assumed, in whole or in part, contractually, by 
operation of law or otherwise, which, in the aggregate, could result in a 
Material Adverse Effect, nor do the Borrowers or the Subsidiaries have reason 
to believe that any such notice will be received or is being threatened; and

         (e)  Hazardous Materials have not been transported from the 
Properties, nor have Hazardous Materials been generated, treated, stored or 
disposed of at, on or under any of the Properties in a manner that could give 
rise to liability under any Environmental Law, nor have the Borrowers or the 
Subsidiaries retained or assumed any liability, contractually, by operation 
of law or otherwise, with respect to the generation, treatment, storage or 
disposal of Hazardous Materials, which transportation, generation, treatment, 
storage or disposal, or retained or assumed liabilities, in the aggregate, 
could result in a Material Adverse Effect.

         SECTION 3.18.  Insurance.  Schedule 3.18 sets forth a true, complete 
and correct description of all insurance maintained by the Borrowers or by 
the Borrowers for their Subsidiaries as of the date hereof and the Closing 
Date.  As of each such date, such insurance is in full force and effect and 
all premiums have been duly paid.  The Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries 
have insurance in such amounts and covering such risks and liabilities as are 
in accordance with normal industry practice.

         SECTION 3.19.  Security Documents.  (a)  The Pledge Agreement is 
effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit 
of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in 
the Collateral (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) and, when the Collateral 
is delivered to the Collateral Agent, the Pledge Agreement shall constitute a 
fully perfected first priority Lien on, and security interest in, all right, 
title and interest of the pledgors thereunder in such Collateral, in each 
case prior and superior in right to any other person.

         (b)  The Security Agreement is effective to create in favor of the

the Security Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and 
security interest in, all right, title and interest of the grantors 
thereunder in such Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected 
by filing such financing statements (other than the Intellectual Property, as 
defined in the Security Agreement), in each case prior and superior in right 
to any other person, other than with respect to Liens expressly permitted by 
Section 6.02.

         (c)  When the Security Agreement is filed in the United States 
Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, the 
Security Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security 
interest in, all right, title and interest of the grantors thereunder in the 
Intellectual Property (as defined in the Security Agreement), in each case 
prior and superior in right to any other person (it being understood that 
subsequent recordings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and 
the United States Copyright Office may be necessary to perfect a lien on 
registered trademarks, trademark applications and copyrights acquired by the 
grantors after the date hereof).

         (d)  Each of the Collateral Assignment and Advance Collateral 
Assignment (upon its execution) is effective to create in favor of the 
Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, 
valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral (as defined in the 
Collateral Assignment or the Advance Collateral Assignment, as applicable) 
and, when financing statements in appropriate form are filed in appropriate 
filing offices, each of the Collateral Assignment and the Advance Collateral 
Assignment shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest 
in, all right, title and interest of the Parent Borrower in such Collateral 
in which a security interest may be perfected by filing such financing 
statements, in each case prior and superior in right to any other person, 
other than with respect to Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02.

Subsidiaries have not been in violation in any material respect of the Fair 
Labor 

<PAGE>

                                                                              57



Standards Act or any other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law 
dealing with such matters.  All payments due from any Borrower or any 
Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against any Borrower or any 
Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and 
other benefits, have in all material respects been paid or accrued as a 
liability on the books of such Borrower or such Subsidiary.  The consummation 
of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right 
of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining 
agreement to which any Borrower or any Subsidiary is bound.

         SECTION 3.21.  Solvency.  Immediately after the consummation of the

Closing Date and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of 
such Loans and the rights of indemnity, contribution and subrogation of the 
Loan Parties, (i) the fair value of the assets of each Loan Party will exceed 
its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (ii) the 
present fair saleable value of the property of each Loan Party will be 
greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability 
of its debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as 
such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (iii) each Loan 
Party will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent 
or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and 
(iv) each Loan Party will not have unreasonably small capital with which to 
conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted 
and is proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date.

    to be prepared by an accounting firm), provided that if the accounting

    provided that (x) such instrument was in existence at the time of such 
    acquisition and was not created in contemplation of or in connection with 
    the applicable acquisition, (y) a Financial Officer of the Parent 
    Borrower reasonably believes at the time such Indebtedness is acquired or

    default or an event of default under such Indebtedness and (z) such 
    instrument contains no express encumbrances or restrictions on the

                                     ARTICLE VIII

       The Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Collateral Agent

         In order to expedite the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
The Chase Manhattan Bank is hereby appointed to act as Administrative Agent and
Collateral Agent and First Union National Bank of North Carolina is hereby
appointed to act as Syndication Agent, in each case on behalf of the Lenders and
the Issuing Banks (for purposes of this Article VIII, the Administrative Agent,
the Syndication Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as
the "Agents").  Each of the Lenders and each assignee of any such Lender and
each Issuing Bank, hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agents to take such actions
on behalf of such Lender or assignee or Issuing Bank and to exercise such powers
as are specifically delegated to the Agents by the terms and provisions hereof
and of the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto.  The Administrative Agent is hereby expressly
authorized by the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, without hereby limiting any
implied authority, (a) to receive on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks
all payments of principal of and interest on the Loans, all payments in respect
of L/C Disbursements and all other amounts due to the Lenders hereunder, and
promptly to distribute to each Lender or the applicable Issuing Bank its proper
share of each payment so received; (b) to give notice on behalf of each of the
Lenders to the Borrowers of any Event of Default specified in this Agreement of
which the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge acquired in connection with
its agency hereunder; (c) pursuant to Section 5.13, request the Parent Borrower
to exercise all remedies under the Franchise Agreement (including Governance
Remedies); and (d) to distribute to each Lender copies of all notices, financial
statements and other materials delivered by the Borrowers or any other Loan
Party pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as received by the
Administrative Agent.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are hereby expressly authorized to
execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the
Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as
contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the
Security Documents. The Borrowers agree that the Administrative Agent may
designate prior to the Closing Date any other Lender with the title co-agent and
that any such co-agent shall not be obligated to perform any duties in such
capacity as a co-agent.

         Neither the Agents nor any of their respective directors, officers,
employees or agents shall be liable as such for any action taken or omitted by
any of them except for its or his own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or
be responsible for any statement, warranty or representation herein or the
contents of any document delivered in connection herewith, or be required to
ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by the
Borrowers or any other Loan Party of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or
agreements contained in any Loan Document.  The Agents shall not be responsible
to the Lenders for the due execution, genuineness, 

<PAGE>

                                                                             83



validity, enforceability or effectiveness of this Agreement or any other Loan 
Documents, instruments or agreements.  The Agents shall in all cases be fully 
protected in acting, or refraining from acting, in accordance with written 
instructions signed by the Required Lenders and, except as otherwise 
specifically provided herein, such instructions and any action or inaction 
pursuant thereto shall be binding on all the Lenders.  Each Agent shall, in 
the absence of knowledge to the contrary, be entitled to rely on any 
instrument or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct 
and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons.  Neither the 
Agents nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents 
shall have any responsibility to the Borrowers or any other Loan Party on 
account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any Lender or 
any Issuing Bank of any of its obligations hereunder or to any Lender or any 
Issuing Bank on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach 
by any other Lender or Issuing Bank or the Borrowers or any other Loan Party 
of any of their respective obligations hereunder or under any other Loan 
Document or in connection herewith or therewith.  Each of the Agents may 
execute any and all duties hereunder by or through agents or employees and 
shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel selected by it 
with respect to all matters arising hereunder and shall not be liable for any 
action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of 
such counsel.

         The Lenders hereby acknowledge that none of the Agents shall be under
any duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant
to the provisions of this Agreement unless it shall be requested in writing to
do so by the Required Lenders.

         Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as
provided below, any of the Agents may resign at any time by notifying the
Lenders and the Borrowers.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders,
with the consent of the Parent Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), shall have the right to appoint a successor, provided the consent of
the Parent Borrower shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing.  If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on
behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, with the consent of the Parent
Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), which shall be a
bank that is a Lender and has a combined capital and surplus of at least
$500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank, provided the consent of the
Parent Borrower shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a
successor bank, such successor 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 duties and obligations hereunder.  After the
Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05
shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.

         With respect to the Loans made by it hereunder, each Agent in its
individual capacity and not as Agent shall have the same rights and powers as
any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and
the Agents and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and
generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or
other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent.

<PAGE>

                                                                             84



         Each Lender agrees (a) to reimburse the Agents, on demand, in the
amount of its pro rata share (based on its Commitments hereunder) of any
expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders by the Agents, including
counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered
on behalf of the Lenders, that shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrowers
or any other Loan Party and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and
any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, on demand, in the amount of
such pro rata share, from and against any and all liabilities, taxes,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against it in its capacity as Agent or any of them
in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, to the extent the same shall not have been
reimbursed by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, provided that no Lender
shall be liable to an Agent or any such other indemnified person for any portion
of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent or any of
its directors, officers, employees or agents.

         Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it
will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and
based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action
under or based upon this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any related
agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) 
and (y) the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each 
such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with 
respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall 
not be less than $5,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such 
Lender's Commitment), (ii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute 
and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, 
together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, (iii) the assignee, 
if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an 
Administrative Questionnaire and (iv) the assignment by any Lender of any 
portion of its Commitments or any portion of the Loans owing to such Lender 
must include (A) a ratable portion of its Commitments and its CBHS 
Commitments and a ratable portion of Loans and CBHS Loans owing to such 
Lender and (B) a ratable portion of its Revolving Credit Commitments and Note 
Repurchase Loan Commitments and Revolving Loans and Note Repurchase Loans 
owing to such Lender.  Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph 
(e) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each 
Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least five 
Business Days after the execution thereof, (A) the assignee thereunder shall 
be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such 
Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under 
this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent 
of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from 
its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and 
Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's 
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a 
party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 
2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account and 
not yet paid).

         (c)  By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the
assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to
confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: 
(i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of
the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that
its Revolving Credit Commitment and its Note Repurchase Loan Commitment, and the
outstanding balance of its Revolving Loans and Note Repurchase Loans, in each
case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become
effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as
set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or
warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements,
warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or
the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or
value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or
document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of any Borrower
or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by any Borrower or any
Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto;
(iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to
enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it
has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent
financial statements referred to in Section 3.05(a) or delivered pursuant to
Section 5.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such
Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Collateral
Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such
assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent to take such action as agent 

<PAGE>

                                                                             87



on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are 
delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, 
by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental 
thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance 
with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are 
required to be performed by it as a Lender.

         (d)  The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment
and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names
and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the
Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
"Register").  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and the Borrowers,
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Collateral Agent and the
Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to
the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrowers, the Issuing Banks, the Collateral Agent and any
Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.

         (e)  Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire
completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a
Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in
paragraph (b) above and, if required, the written consent of the Parent
Borrower, the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent
to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment
and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register
and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks.  No
assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as
provided in this paragraph (e).

         (f)  Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrowers, the Issuing
Banks or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or
other entities in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to
it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement
shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the
participating banks or other entities shall be entitled to the benefit of the
cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 to the same
extent as if they were Lenders and (iv) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent,
the Syndication Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and
obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce the obligations of the Borrowers relating to the Loans or
L/C Disbursements and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than amendments,
modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable hereunder or the amount of
principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans, extending
any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest
on the Loans or increasing or extending the Commitments or releasing from any
Lien granted under any Security Document all or any substantial part of the
Collateral (except with respect to sales or transfers of, and other transactions
relating to, Collateral permitted pursuant to any Loan Document)).

         (g)  Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment
or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this
Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or
participant any information relating to the Borrowers furnished to such Lender
by or on behalf of the Borrowers; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of
information designated by the Borrowers as confidential, each such assignee or
participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement
whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary
exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on
terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to
Section 9.16.

         (h)  Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its
rights under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank to secure extensions of
credit by such Federal Reserve Bank to such Lender; provided that no such
assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or
substitute any such Bank for such Lender as a party hereto.  In order to
facilitate such an assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank, the Borrowers shall, at
the request of the assigning Lender, duly execute and deliver to the assigning
Lender a promissory note or notes evidencing the Loans made to the Borrowers by
the assigning Lender hereunder.

         (i)  The Borrowers shall not assign or delegate any of their
respective rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Issuing Banks and each Lender,
and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

         SECTION 9.05.  Expenses; Indemnity.  (a)  The Borrowers agree to pay
all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the
Syndication Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Issuing Banks in connection with
the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein and the preparation
and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in
connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions
hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby
contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the
Syndication Agent, the Collateral Agent, an Issuing Bank or any Lender in
connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made
or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including the reasonable fees, charges
and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & Moore, counsel for the Administrative
Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Collateral Agent, and, in connection with
any such enforcement or protection, the reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of any other counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Syndication
Agent, the Collateral Agent, an Issuing Bank or any Lender.

         (b)  The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify the
Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Collateral Agent, each
co-agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, each Affiliate of any of the fore-
going persons and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and
agents (each such person being called an "Indemnitee") against, and to hold each
Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements,
incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way
connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations
thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions
contemplated thereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the 

<PAGE>

                                                                             89



Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit, (iii) any claim, litigation, 
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not 
any Indemnitee is a party thereto, or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or 
Release of Hazardous Materials on any property owned or operated by the 
Borrowers or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Claim related in 
any way to the Borrowers or the Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity 
shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, 
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of 
competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted 
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

         (c)  The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in
full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this
Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the
repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration
of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation
made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the
Collateral Agent, any Lender or either Issuing Bank.  All amounts due under this
Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

         SECTION 9.06.  Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, each Lender and Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at
any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set
off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing
by such Lender or Issuing Bank to or for the credit or the account of any
Borrower against any of and all the obligations of any Borrower now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender or
Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Issuing Bank shall
have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and
although such obligations may be unmatured.  The rights of each Lender and
Issuing Bank under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender or Issuing Bank
may have.

         SECTION 9.07.  APPLICABLE LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK.  EACH LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OR RULES DESIGNATED IN SUCH LETTER OF
CREDIT, OR IF NO SUCH LAWS OR RULES ARE DESIGNATED, THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND
PRACTICE FOR DOCUMENTARY CREDITS (1993 REVISION), INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE, PUBLICATION NO. 500 (THE "UNIFORM CUSTOMS") AND, AS TO MATTERS NOT
GOVERNED BY THE UNIFORM CUSTOMS, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

         SECTION 9.08.  Waivers; Amendment.  (a)  No failure or delay of the
Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or
either Issuing Bank in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The
rights and remedies of the Administrative 

<PAGE>

                                                                             90



Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the 
Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are 
not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No 
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or 
consent to any departure by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party therefrom 
shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by 
paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only 
in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice or 
demand on the Borrowers in any case shall entitle the Borrowers to any other 
or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

         (b)  Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document (excluding
Letters of Credit) nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or
modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into
by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders (or, in the case of any other such
Loan Document, the parties thereto with the prior written consent of the
Required Lenders); provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease
the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal
payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan or any date for
reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement, or waive or excuse any such payment or any
part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan or L/C Disbursement,
without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) change
or extend the Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of the
Commitment Fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender,
(iii) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.17 or 9.04(i), the provisions
of this Section, the definition of the term "Required Lenders" or release any
Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement (other than in
accordance with the Guarantee Agreement) or release from any Lien granted under
any Security Document all or any substantial part of the Collateral (except with
respect to sales or transfers  of, and other transactions relating to,
Collateral permitted pursuant to the Security Documents), without the prior
consent of each Lender or (iv) change (A) the allocation of any prepayment, to
be allocated between the Note Repurchase Loans and Revolving Loans pursuant to
Section 2.13 or (B) the application of any prepayment or repayment of Note
Repurchase Loans pursuant to Sections 2.11(b), 2.12(b) or 2.13(d), in each case
without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Note Repurchase Loans; provided, further
that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or
duties of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Collateral Agent
or either Issuing Bank hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the
Collateral Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be.

         SECTION 9.09.  Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan
or participation in any L/C Disbursement, together with all fees, charges and
other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan or participation in
such L/C Disbursement under applicable law (collectively the "Charges"), shall
exceed the maximum lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate") which may be contracted for,
charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or
participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in
respect of such Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Charges
payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the
extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect
of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation
of this Section 9.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to
such Lender in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be
increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such 

<PAGE>

                                                                             91



cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds 
Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such 
Lender.

         SECTION 9.10.  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the Fee Letter and
the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties
relative to the subject matter hereof.  Any other previous agreement among the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Nothing in this Agreement or in the
other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party
other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights, remedies, obligations or
liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

         SECTION 9.11.  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES,
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT
OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS.  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED TO SUCH PARTY, EXPRESSLY OR
OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO
ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO
ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

         SECTION 9.12.  Severability.  In the event any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be
held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that
the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not
in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other
jurisdiction).  The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace
the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the
economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions.

         SECTION 9.13.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each
of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall
constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in
Section 9.03.  Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by
facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed
counterpart of this Agreement.

         SECTION 9.14.  Headings.  Article and Section headings and the Table
of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of
this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into
consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

         SECTION 9.15.  Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.  (a)  Each
Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or
Federal court of the United States of America sitting 

<PAGE>

                                                                             92



in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or 
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan 
Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the 
parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims 
in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in 
such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal 
court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such 
action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other 
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. 
 Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative 
Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Collateral Agent, either Issuing Bank or 
any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to 
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Borrowers or its 
properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

         (b)  Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to
the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it
may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents in any New York State or Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense
of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any
such court.

         (c)  Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of
process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01.  Nothing in this
Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process
in any other manner permitted by law.

         SECTION 9.16.  Confidentiality.  The Administrative Agent, the
Syndication Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Bank and each of the
Lenders agrees to keep confidential (and to use its best efforts to cause its
respective agents and representatives to keep confidential) the Information (as
defined below) and all copies thereof, extracts therefrom and analyses or other
materials based thereon, except that the Administrative Agent, the Syndication
Agent, the Collateral Agent, either Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be
permitted to disclose Information (a) to such of its respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, auditors, affiliates and representatives as need
to know such Information, (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory
authority, (c) to the extent otherwise required by applicable laws and
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) in connection with
any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or (e) to the extent such
Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of
this Section 9.16 or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the
Syndication Agent, either Issuing Bank, any Lender or the Collateral Agent on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers.  For the purposes
of this Section, "Information" shall mean all financial statements,
certificates, reports, agreements and information (including all analyses,
compilations and studies prepared by the Administrative Agent, the Syndication
Agent, the Collateral Agent, either Issuing Bank or any Lender based on any of
the foregoing) that (i) are received from the Borrowers and related to the
Borrowers, any shareholder of any of the Borrowers or any employee, customer or
supplier of the Borrowers, other than any of the foregoing that were available
to the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Collateral Agent, either
Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure
thereto by the Borrowers, and (ii) are in the case of Information provided after
the date hereof, clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. 
The provisions of this Section 9.16 shall remain operative and in full force and
effect regardless of the expiration and term of this Agreement.

                                                                             93



         SECTION 9.17.  Obligations Joint and Several.  (a)  Each Borrower
agrees that it shall, jointly with the other Borrowers and severally, be liable
for all the Obligations.  Each Borrower further agrees that the Obligations of
the other Borrowers may be extended and renewed, in whole or in part, without
notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its
agreement hereunder notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation
of the other Borrowers.

         (b)  Each Borrower waives presentment to, demand of payment from and
protest to the other Borrowers of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice
of acceptance of its obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment.  The
Obligations of a Borrower hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of
any Lender or Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to
assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the other
Borrowers under the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents or otherwise; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification
of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, any of the other Loan
Documents or any other agreement; or (iii) the failure of any Lender or Issuing
Bank to exercise any right or remedy against any other Borrower.

         (c)  Each Borrower further agrees that its agreement hereunder
constitutes a promise of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any
right to require that any resort be had by any Lender or Issuing Bank to any
balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Lender or Issuing
Bank in favor of any other Borrower or any other person.

         (d)  The Obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall not be subject
to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason,
including compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations of the other Borrowers or
otherwise.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Obligations of
each Borrower hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise
affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any
Lender or Issuing Bank to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy
under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by
any waiver or modification in respect of any thereof, by any default, failure or
delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations of the other
Borrowers, or by any other act or omission which may or might in any manner or
to any extent vary the risk of such Borrower or otherwise operate as a discharge
of such Borrower as a matter of law or equity.

         (e)  Each Borrower further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Obligation of
the other Borrowers is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank upon
the bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the other Borrowers or otherwise.

         (f)  In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any
other right which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender
or Issuing Bank may have at law or in equity against any Borrower by virtue
hereof, upon the failure of a Borrower to pay any Obligation when and as the
same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of

    4.   Participation.  Participants in the Plan shall be limited to those
officers and employees of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries who have
been selected to participate in the Plan by the Committee acting in its absolute
discretion.

    5.   Maximum Number of Shares Subject to Options.  Subject to the
provisions of Section 9, there shall be 1,500,000 shares of Stock reserved for
use under this Plan, and such shares of Stock shall be reserved to the extent
that the Committee and the Board deems appropriate from authorized but unissued
shares of Stock or from shares of Stock which have been reacquired by the
Corporation.  Any shares of Stock subject to any Option which are not purchased
after the cancellation, expiration, exchange or forfeiture of such Option shall
again become available for use under this Plan.  All authorized and unissued
shares issued upon exercise of Options under the Plan shall be fully paid and
nonassessable shares.

    6.   Grant of Options.  The Committee, acting in its absolute discretion,
shall have the right to grant Options to Participants under this Plan from time
to time; provided, that the maximum number of shares of Stock issuable upon
exercise of Options shall not exceed 1,500,000, subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 9.  No Option shall be granted after December 31, 2000.  The

shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:





<PAGE>
                                         -4-

         (a)  Employment.  Each Participant shall agree to remain in the employ
of and to render services to the Corporation or a Subsidiary thereof for such
period as the Committee may require in the Stock Option Agreement; provided,
that such agreement shall not impose upon the Corporation or any Subsidiary
thereof any obligation to retain the Participant in its employ for any period.

         (b)  Number of Shares.  Each Stock Option Agreement shall state the
total number of shares of Stock to which it pertains.

         (c)  Exercise Price.  The exercise price per share for Options shall
be Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of grant, subject to adjustment as
contemplated by Section 9.

         (d)  Medium and Time of Payment.  The exercise price shall be payable
upon the exercise of the Option, or as provided in Section 7(e) if the
Corporation adopts a broker-directed cashless exercise/resale procedure, in each
case in an amount equal to the number of shares then being purchased times the
per share exercise price.  Payment shall be in cash. 

    In addition to the payment of the purchase price of the shares of Stock
then being purchased, a Participant shall also, pursuant to Section 16, pay to
the Corporation or otherwise provide for payment of an amount equal to the
amount, if any, which the Corporation at the time of exercise is required to
withhold under the income tax withholding provisions of the Code and other
applicable income tax laws.

         (e)  Method of Exercise.  All Options shall be exercised (i) by
written notice directed to the Secretary of the Corporation at its principal
place of business, accompanied by payment of the option exercise price, in
accordance with the foregoing subsection (d), for the number of shares specified
in the notice of exercise and by any documents required by Section 14, or (ii)
by complying with the exercise and other provisions of any broker-directed
cashless exercise/resale procedure adopted by the Corporation and approved by
the Committee, and by delivery of any documents required by Section 14.  The
Corporation shall make delivery of such shares within a reasonable period of
time or in accordance with applicable provisions of any such broker-directed
cashless exercise/resale procedure; provided, that if any law or regulation
requires the Corporation to take any action (including but not limited to the
filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 and causing
such registration statement to become effective) with respect to the shares
specified in such notice before their issuance, then the date of delivery of
such shares shall be extended for the period necessary to take such action.

         (f)  Term of Options.  Except as otherwise specifically provided in
the Plan, the terms of all Options shall commence on the date of grant and shall
expire not later than February 28, 2007.

                                         -5-

         (g)  Exercise of Options.  Options are exercisable only to the extent
they are vested as provided in the Stock Option Agreement.  After Options have
vested in accordance with the terms of the Stock Option Agreement, such Options
are exercisable at any time, in whole or in part during their terms if the
Participant is at the time of exercise employed by the Company or a Subsidiary. 
If a Participant's employment with the Corporation or any Subsidiary is
terminated for any reason other than death or disability, the vested portion of
each Option held by such Participant on the date of such termination may be
exercised for six (6) months following the date of termination of employment
(but not after expiration of the term of the Option).  In the event of the death
or Disability of a Participant, the vested portion of each Option held by such
Participant on the date of such event may be exercised within twelve (12) months
of the date of such event (but not after the expiration of the term of the
Option).

    In the event of the death of a Participant, the vested portion of each
Option previously held by such Participant may be exercised within the time set
forth above by the executor, other legal representative or, if none, by the heir
or legatee of such Participant.

         (h)  Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization.  Upon a change in
capitalization pursuant to Section 9, the number of shares covered by an Option
and the per share option exercise price shall be adjusted in accordance with the
provisions of Section 9.

         (i)  Transferability.  No Option shall be assignable or transferable
by the Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. 
The designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute a transfer; and, during
the lifetime of a Participant, all Options held by such Participant shall be
exercisable only by him or by his lawful representative in the event of his
incapacity.

         (j)  Rights as a Stockholder.  A Participant shall have no rights as a
stockholder with respect to shares covered by his Option until the date of the
issuance of the shares to him and only after such shares are fully paid.  Unless
specified in Section 9, no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights
for which the record date is prior to the date of such issuance.

         (k)  Miscellaneous Provisions.  The Stock Option Agreements authorized
under the Plan may contain such other provisions not inconsistent with the terms
of this Plan as the Committee shall deem advisable.

    8.   Vesting.  Options granted under this Plan shall be exercisable only to
the extent such Options have become vested pursuant to this Section 8.  An
Option shall vest at the rate of 331/3 percent of the shares covered by the
Option on each of the first three anniversary dates of the grant of the Option
if the Participant is an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary on such dates.

    9.   Change in Capitalization.  If the Stock should, as a result of a stock
split or stock dividend, combination of shares, recapitalization or other change
in the capital structure of the Corporation or exchange of Stock for other
securities by reclassification or otherwise, be increased or decreased or
changed into, or exchanged for, a different number or kind of shares or other
securities of the Corporation, or any other corporation, then the number of
shares covered by Options, the number and kind of shares which thereafter may be
distributed or issued under the Plan and the per share option price of Options
shall be appropriately adjusted consistent with such change in such manner as
the Committee may deem equitable to prevent dilution of or increase in the
rights granted to, or available for, Participants.

    10.  Fractional Shares.  In the event that any provision of this Plan or a
Stock Option Agreement would create a right to acquire a fractional share of
Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded.

    11.  Successor Corporation.  If the Corporation is merged or consolidated
with another corporation or other legal entity and the Corporation is not the
surviving corporation or legal entity, or in the event all or substantially all
of the assets or common stock of the Corporation is acquired by another
corporation or legal entity, or in the case of a dissolution, reorganization or
liquidation of the Corporation, the Board, or the board of directors or
governing body of any corporation or other legal entity assuming the obligations
of the Corporation hereunder, shall either:  (i) make appropriate provision for
the preservation of Participants' rights under the Plan in any agreement or plan
it may enter into or adopt to effect any of the foregoing transactions; or (ii)
upon written notice to each Participant, provide that all Options, whether or
not vested, may be exercised within thirty days of the date of such notice and
if not so exercised, shall be terminated.
    
    12.  Change in Control.  Notwithstanding any provisions in the Plan to the
contrary, in the event of a Change in Control, any unvested and outstanding
Options awarded to Participants under the Plan automatically shall become fully
vested and exercisable in accordance with the terms thereof.  
    
    13.  Non-Alienation of Benefits.  Except insofar as applicable law
otherwise may require, (i) no Options, rights or interest of Participants or
Stock deliverable to any Participant at any time under the Plan shall be subject
in any manner to alienation by anticipation, sale, transfer, assignment,
bankruptcy, pledge, attachment, charge or encumbrance of any kind, and any
attempt to so alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, attach, charge or
otherwise encumber any such amount, whether presently or thereafter payable,
shall be void; and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Plan shall
in no manner be liable for, or subject to, claims, liens, attachments or other
like proceedings or the debts, liabilities, contracts, engagements or torts of
any Participant or beneficiary.  Nothing in this Section 13 shall prevent a
Participant's rights and interests under the Plan from being transferred by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution; provided, that no transfer by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution shall be effective to bind the
Corporation unless the Committee or its designee shall have been furnished
before or 



<PAGE>
                                         -7-

after the death of such Participant with a copy of such will or such other
evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the
transfer.

    14.  Listing and Qualification of Shares.  The Corporation, in its
discretion, may postpone the issuance or delivery of shares of Stock until
completion of any stock exchange listing, or other qualification or registration
of such shares under any state or federal law, rule or regulation, as the
Corporation may consider appropriate, and may require any Participant to make
such representations, including, but not limited to, a written representation
that the shares are to be acquired for investment and not for resale or with a
view to the distribution thereof, and to furnish such information as it may
consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of the shares
in compliance with applicable law, rules and regulations.  The Corporation may
cause a legend or legends to be placed on such certificates to make appropriate
reference to such representation and to restrict transfer in the absence of
compliance with applicable federal or state securities laws.

    15.  No Claim or Right Under the Plan.  No employee of the Corporation or
any Subsidiary shall at any time have the right to be selected as a Participant
in the Plan nor, having been selected as a Participant and granted an Option, to
be granted any additional Option.  Neither the action of the Corporation in
establishing the Plan, nor any action taken by it or by the Board or the
Committee thereunder, nor any provision of the Plan, nor participation in the
Plan, shall be construed to give, and does not give, to any person the right to
be retained in the employ of the Corporation or any Subsidiary, or interfere in
any way with the right of the Corporation or any Subsidiary to discharge or
terminate any person at any time without regard to the effect such discharge or
termination may have upon such person's rights, if any, under the Plan.

    16.  Taxes.  The Corporation may make such provisions and take such steps
as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of all federal,
state, local and other taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to
Options under the Plan, including, but not limited to, (i) deducting the amount
required to be withheld from salary or any other amount then or thereafter
payable to a Participant, beneficiary or legal representative,  (ii) requiring a
Participant, beneficiary or legal representative to pay to the Corporation the
amount required to be withheld as a condition of releasing the Stock, or (iii)
complying with applicable provisions of any broker-directed cashless
exercise/resale procedure adopted by the Corporation pursuant to Section 7(e).

    17.  No Liability of Directors.  No member of the Board or the Committee
shall be personally liable by reason of any contract or other instrument
executed by such member on his behalf in his capacity as a member of the Board
or Committee, nor for any mistake of judgment made in good faith, and the
Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each employee, officer and
Director, to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or
interpretation of the Plan may be allocated or delegated, against any cost or
expense (including counsel fees) or liability (including any sum paid in
settlement of a claim with the approval of the Board) arising out of any act or
omission to act in connection with the Plan to the fullest extent permitted or 



<PAGE>
                                         -8-

required by the Corporation's governing instruments and, in addition, to the
fullest extent of any applicable insurance policy purchased by the Corporation.

    18.  Other Plans.  Nothing contained in the Plan is intended to amend,
modify or rescind any previously approved compensation plans or programs entered
into by the Corporation or its Subsidiaries.  The Plan shall be construed to be
in addition to any and all such plans or programs.  No award of Options under
the Plan shall be construed as compensation under any other executive
compensation or employee benefit plan of the Corporation or any of its
Subsidiaries, except as specifically provided in any such plan or as otherwise
provided by the Committee.  The adoption of the Plan by the Board shall not be
construed as creating any limitations on the power or authority of the Board to
adopt such additional compensation or incentive arrangements as the Board may
deem necessary or desirable.

    19.  Amendment or Termination.  This Plan may be amended by the Board from
time to time to the extent that the Board deems necessary or appropriate;
provided, no such amendment shall be made absent the approval of the
stockholders of the Corporation:  (1) if stockholder approval of such amendment
is required for continued compliance with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, or (2)
if stockholder approval of such amendment is required by any other applicable
laws or regulations or by the rules of any stock exchange as long as the Stock
is listed for trading on such exchange.  The Committee also may suspend the
granting of Options under this Plan at any time and may terminate this Plan at
any time; provided, the Corporation shall not have the right to modify, amend or
cancel any Option granted before such suspension or termination unless (1) the
Participant consents in writing to such modification, amendment or cancellation
or (2) there is a dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation or a transaction
described in Section 11 of this Plan.

    20.  Captions.  The captions preceding the sections of the Plan have been
inserted solely as a matter of convenience and shall not, in any manner, define
or limit the scope or intent of any provisions of the Plan.

    21.  Governing Law.  The Plan and all rights thereunder shall be governed
by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Georgia, without
reference to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

    22.  Expenses.  All expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by
the Corporation.

    23.  Effective Date.  The Plan shall be effective as of the date of its
adoption by the Board, subject to approval of this Plan by the stockholders of
the Corporation after the date of its adoption.

                                      EXHIBIT 99

               SAFE HARBOR FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS UNDER PRIVATE
             SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995; CERTAIN CAUTIONARY
                                      STATEMENTS

    
    Magellan Health Services, Inc. (the "Company") and its representatives may
make forward looking statements (as such term is defined in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act) from time-to-time.  The Company wants to
invoke to the fullest extent possible the protection of the Private Securities
Litigating Reform Act and the judicially created "bespeaks caution" doctrine
with respect to such statements.  Accordingly, the Company is filing this
Exhibit 99, which lists certain factors that may cause actual results to differ
materially from those in such forward looking statements.

    This list is not necessarily exhaustive.  The Company operates in a rapidly
changing business, and new risk factors emerge periodically.  There can be no
assurance that this Exhibit lists all material risks to the Company at any
specific point in time.

Impact of the Crescent Transactions

    The Company relinquished control of Charter Behavioral Health Systems
("CBHS") upon consummation of the Cresent Transactions.  Magellan's operational
input in CBHS will be limited to those rights provided by the franchise
agreements and the CBHS Operating Agreement.

    The Franchise Fees payable to the Company by CBHS are subordinated in 
payment to the $41.7 million annual base rent, 5% minimum escalator rent and, 
in certain circumstances, the additional rent due Crescent under the CBHS 
Facilities Lease.  If CBHS encounters a decline in earnings or financial 
difficulties, such amounts due Crescent will be paid before any Franchise 
Fees are paid.  The remainder of CBHS' available cash will then be applied in 
such order of priority as CBHS may determine, in the reasonable discretion of 
the CBHS board, to all other operating expenses of CBHS, including the 
current and accumulated Franchise Fees. The Company will be entitled to 
pursue all available remedies for breach of the Master Franchise Agreement, 
except that the Company does not have the right to take any action that could 
reasonably be expected to force CBHS into bankruptcy or receivership. In 
addition, if CBHS' encounters a decline in earnings or financial 
difficulties, it is possible that cash flow from CBHS' operations will not be 
sufficient to pay all or a portion of the Franchise Fees when due, which 
could have a material adverse effect on Magellan's financial position, 
earnings and cash flows.

    The Company has used the proceeds of the Crescent Transactions to reduce 
net interest expense by repaying long-term debt where possible and investing 
the remaining proceeds in short-term cash equivalents.  Although net interest 
expense will be lower, the Company's reduced earnings as a result of the 
Crescent Transactions could be even more pronounced until capital resource 
allocation decisions (e.g., acquisitions) related to the net proceeds from 
the Crescent Transactions are implemented.  

Limitations Imposed by the New Revolving Credit Agreement 
and Senior Note Indenture

    In May 1994, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with certain financial institutions and
issued $375 million of Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Senior Notes") to
institutional investors.  The Credit Agreement was terminated in October 1996
and the Company entered into 

                                           


<PAGE>


a new Credit Agreement (the "Revolving Credit Agreement").  The Revolving Credit
Agreement was terminated in June 1997 as a result of the Crescent Transactions
and the Company entered into a New Revolving Credit Agreement (the"New Revolving
Credit Agreement").  The New Revolving Credit Agreement and the indenture for
the Senior Notes contain a number of restrictive covenants which, among other
things, limit the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to
incur other indebtedness, enter into certain joint venture transactions, incur
liens, make certain restricted payments and investments, enter into certain
business combination and asset sale transactions,  make capital expenditures and
repurchase outstanding common stock.  These restrictions could adversely affect
the Company's ability to conduct its operations, finance its capital needs or to
pursue attractive business combinations and joint ventures if such opportunities
arise.  Under the New Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company also is required
to maintain certain specified financial ratios.  Failure by the Company to
maintain such financial ratios or to comply with the restrictions contained in
the New Revolving Credit Agreement and the indenture for the Senior Notes could
cause such indebtedness (and by reason of cross-acceleration provisions, other
indebtedness) to become immediately due and payable and/or could cause the
cessation of funding under the New Revolving Credit Agreement.

Acquisition Growth Strategy

    The Company has historically grown through acquisitions.  There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to make successful acquisitions in the
future or that any such acquisitions will be successfully integrated into its
operations.  In addition, future acquisitions could have an adverse effect upon
the Company's operating results, particularly in the fiscal quarters immediately
following the consummation of such transactions while the acquired operations
are being integrated into its operations.   

Human Affairs International, Inc. Acquisition and
Potential Adverse Reaction

    On August 5, 1997, the Company announced that it had signed a definitive 
agreement for the purchase of the Human Affairs International, Inc. ("HAI") 
for approximately $122.1 million in cash.  HAI manages the care of 
approximately 15 million covered lives through employee assistance programs 
and managed behavioral health plans.  The Company expects to fund the 
acquisition of HAI with cash on hand.  The Company will account for the 
acquisition of HAI using the purchase method of accounting.  The HAI 
acquisition is subject to federal and state approval and other customary 
matters and is expected to close in the first quarter of fiscal 1998.  

    The Company may be required to make additional contingent payments of up 
to $300 million to Aetna U.S. Healthcare (the "Contingent Payments") over the 
five-year period subsequent to closing under certain circumstances.  The 
Company expects to fund the Contingent Payments, if any, with a combination 
of cash on hand, future cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity 
under the New Revolving Credit Agreement.

    Magellan and CBHS' hospitals have contracts with behavioral managed care
companies other than Green Spring and HAI.  Such other companies could decide to
terminate their contracts with Magellan and CBHS' hospitals in reaction to the
Company's announcement of acquiring one of their major competitors.  In
addition, many of Green Spring and HAI's customers are competitors in various
local markets.  The announcement of the HAI acquisition could adversely impact
the ability of Green Spring and HAI to attract and retain customers or to
effectively negotiate contractual arrangements with new or existing customers. 
Also, there can be no assurance that HAI will be successfully integrated into
Company's operations.

Historical Operating Losses
  
  The Company  experienced losses from continuing operations before
reorganization items, extraordinary items and the cumulative effect of a change
in accounting principle during each fiscal year since the completion of a
management buyout in 1988 through fiscal 1995.  Such losses amounted to $81.7
million for the ten-month period ended July 31, 1992, $8.1 million for the
two-month period ended September 30, 1992 and $39.6 million, $47.0 million and 




<PAGE>


$43.0 million for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1993, 1994 and 1995,
respectively.  The Company reported net revenue and income from continuing
operations of approximately $1.35 billion and $32.4 million, respectively, for
the year ended September 30, 1996.  The Company also reported net revenue and
income from continuing operations before extraordinary items of approximately
$997.0 million and $24.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1996,
respectively, compared to net revenue and loss from continuing operations before
extraordinary items of $1.0 billion and $5.4 million, respectively, for the nine
months ended June 30, 1997.  There can be no assurance that the Company's
profitability for the year ended September 30, 1996  will continue in future
periods.  The Company's history of losses could have an adverse effect on its
operations.

Potential Hospital Closures

  CBHS' management continually assesses events and changes in circumstances 
that could effect its business strategy and the viability of its operations. 
During fiscal 1995 and 1996, Magellan consolidated, closed or sold 15 and 9 
psychiatric hospitals, respectively.  During fiscal 1997, Magellan 
consolidated, closed or sold three psychiatric hospitals and its one general 
hospital.   Magellan recorded charges against income, as a result of these 
consolidations, closures and sales.  CBHS may pursue acquisitions in markets 
where it does not currently have a presence and in markets where it has 
existing hospital operations.  CBHS' management may elect to consolidate 
services in selected markets by closing additional facilities in future 
periods depending on market conditions and evolving business strategies.  If 
CBHS closes additional psychiatric hospitals in future periods, it could 
result in charges to income for the cost necessary to exit the hospital 
operations, which would result in lower equity in earnings of CBHS for the 
Company.

Potential Reductions in Reimbursement by 
Third-Party Payers and Changes in Hospital Payer Mix

  Magellan and CBHS hospitals have been adversely affected by factors
influencing the entire psychiatric hospital industry.  Factors which have
affected psychiatric hospitals include (i) the imposition of more stringent
length of stay and admission criteria and other cost containment measures by
payers; (ii) the failure of reimbursement rate increases from certain payers
that reimburse on a per diem or other discounted basis to offset increases in
the cost of providing services; (iii) an increase in the percentage of its
business that the Company derives from payers that reimburse on a per diem or
other discounted basis; (iv) a trend toward higher deductibles and co-insurance
for individual patients; (v) pricing pressure related to increasing rate of
claims denials by third party payers; and (vi) a trend toward limiting employee
health benefits, such as reductions in annual and lifetime limits on mental
health coverage.  Any of these factors could result in reductions in the amounts
that Magellan and CBHS hospitals can expect to collect per patient day for
services provided.

  For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996, the Company derived
approximately 21% of its gross psychiatric patient service revenue from managed
care organizations (primarily HMOs and PPOs, as hereinafter defined), 25% from
other private payers (primarily commercial insurance and Blue Cross), 28% from
Medicare, 17% from Medicaid, 3% from the Civilian Health and Medical Program for
the Uniformed Services ("CHAMPUS") and 6% from other government programs. 
Changes in the mix of Magellan and CBHS's patients among the managed care
organizations, Medicare and Medicaid categories, and among different types of
private-pay sources, can significantly affect the profitability of Magellan and
CBHS's hospital operations.  Therefore, there can be no assurance that payments
under governmental and private third-party payer programs will remain at levels
comparable to present levels or will, in the future, be sufficient to cover the
costs of providing care to patients covered by such programs. 

Dependence on Healthcare Professionals

  Physicians traditionally have been the source of a significant portion of
the patients treated at Magellan and CBHS' hospitals.  Therefore, the success of
Magellan and CBHS's hospitals is dependent in part on the number and quality of
the physicians on the medical staffs of its hospitals and their admission
practices.  A small number of physicians account for a significant portion of
patient admissions at some of  Magellan and CBHS's hospitals.  There can be no
assurance that Magellan and CBHS can retain its current physicians on staff or
that additional physician relationships will be developed in the future. 
Furthermore, hospital physicians generally are not employees of Magellan and
CBHS and in general, Magellan and CBHS do not have contractual arrangements with
hospital physicians restricting the ability of such physicians to practice
elsewhere.

Potential General and Professional Liability 

  Effective June 1, 1995, Plymouth Insurance Company, Ltd. ("Plymouth"), a
wholly-owned Bermuda subsidiary of the Company, provides general and hospital
professional liability insurance up to $25 million per occurrence for the
Company's hospitals.  All of the risk of losses from $1.5 million to $25 million
per occurrence has been reinsured with unaffiliated insurers.  The Company also
insures with an unaffiliated insurer 100% of the risk of losses between $25
million and $100 million per occurrence, subject to an annual aggregate limit of
$75 million.  The Company's general and professional liability coverage is
written on a "claims made or circumstances reported" basis.  For reinsured
claims between $10 and $25 million per occurrence, the Company has an annual
aggregate limit of coverage of $30 million. For reinsured  claims between $1.5
million and $10 million per occurrence, the Company has no significant
limitations on the aggregate dollar amounts of coverage.

  For the six years from June 1, 1989 through May 31, 1995, the Company had a
similar general and hospital professional liability insurance program.  For
those years, the per occurrence deductible (with respect to which the Company
was self-insured) was $2.5 million for the years ended May 31, 1990 and 1991, $2
million for the years ended May 31, 1992 and 1993 and $1.5 million (relating to
the Company's general hospitals sold on September 30, 1993) for the year ended
May 31, 1994.  For psychiatric hospitals, Plymouth's coverage did not contain a
per occurrence deductible for the years ended May 31, 1994 and 1995.  In
December 1994, the per occurrence deductible for the years ended May 31, 1989
and 1990 was eliminated.  Plymouth provides coverage with no per occurrence
deductible for hospital system claims which had not been paid prior to December
31, 1994.  Plymouth does not underwrite any insurance policies with any parties
other than the Company or its affiliates and subsidiaries.

  The liability recorded relating to  Magellan's general and professional
liability may materially increase or decrease from year to year depending, among
other things, on the nature and number of new reported claims against Magellan
and amounts of settlements of previously reported claims.  To date, Magellan has
not experienced a loss in excess of policy limits.  Management believes that its
coverage limits are adequate.  However, losses in excess of the limits described
above or for which insurance is otherwise unavailable could have a material
adverse effect upon the Company.

Potential Expiration and Realization Uncertainties Related
to Estimated Tax Net Operating Loss Carryforwards

  As of September 30, 1996, the Company had estimated tax net operating loss
("NOL") carryforwards of approximately $250 million available to reduce future
federal taxable income.  These NOL carryforwards expire in 2006 through 2010 and
are subject to adjustment upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service.  Due
to the ownership change which occurred as a result of the Reorganization, the
Company's utilization of NOLs generated prior to the effective date of the
Reorganization is limited.  Based on this limitation and certain other factors,
the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $102.2 million
against the amount of the NOL deferred tax asset at September 30, 1996 that in
Management's opinion, is not likely to be recovered.  There can be no assurance
that these NOL carryforwards will not expire, be reduced or be made subject to
further limitations prior to their potential utilization in future periods.

  The Company incurred a gain for federal income tax purposes of
approximately $50 million as a result of the Crescent Transactions.  The Company
intends to utilize net operating loss carryforward ("NOL") to offset such
taxable gains to the extent NOLs are available.  The expected utilization of
NOLs as a result of the Crescent Transactions will accelerate the payment of
federal income taxes in future periods, resulting in lower cash flows from
operations in future periods.

Governmental Budgetary Constraints and Healthcare Reform

  In the 1995 and 1996 sessions of the United States Congress, the focus of
healthcare legislation has been on budgetary and related funding mechanism
issues.  Both the Congress and the Clinton Administration have made proposals to
reduce the rate of increase in projected Medicare and Medicaid expenditures and
to change funding mechanisms and other aspects of both programs. If enacted,
these proposals would generally reduce Medicare and 



<PAGE>

Medicaid expenditures.   The Company cannot predict the effect of any such
legislation, if adopted, on its operations or CBHS operations; but the Company
anticipates that, although overall Medicare and Medicaid funding may be reduced
from projected levels, the changes in such programs may provide opportunities to
the Company to obtain increased Medicare and Medicaid business through
risk-sharing or partial risk-sharing contracts with managed care plans and state
Medicaid programs.

  A number of states in which the Company and CBHS have operations have
either adopted or are considering the adoption of healthcare reform proposals of
general applicability or Medicaid reform proposals, partly in response to
possible changes in Medicaid law.  Where adopted, these state reform laws have
often not yet been fully implemented.  The Company cannot predict the effect of
these state healthcare reform and Medicaid reform laws on its operations or CBHS
operations.

Provider Business-Competition

  Each of Magellan and CBHS's hospitals competes with other hospitals, some
of which are larger and have greater financial resources.  Some competing
hospitals are owned and operated by governmental agencies, others by nonprofit
organizations supported by endowments and charitable contributions and others by
proprietary hospital corporations.  The hospitals frequently draw patients from
areas outside their immediate locale and, therefore, the Company's hospitals
may, in certain markets, compete with both local and distant hospitals.  In
addition,  Magellan and CBHS's hospitals compete not only with other psychiatric
hospitals, but also with psychiatric units in general hospitals, and outpatient
services provided by  Magellan and CBHS may compete with private practicing
mental health professionals and publicly funded mental health centers.  The
competitive position of a hospital is, to a significant degree, dependent upon
the number and quality of physicians who practice at the hospital and who are
members of its medical staff.  The Company has entered into joint venture
arrangements with other healthcare providers in certain markets to promote more
efficiency in the local delivery system.  The Company believes that its provider
business and CBHS compete effectively with respect to the aforementioned
factors.  However, there can be no assurance that Magellan or CBHS will be able
to compete successfully in the provider business in the future.

  Competition among hospitals and other healthcare providers for patients has
intensified in recent years.  During this period, hospital occupancy rates for
inpatient behavioral care patients in the United States have declined as a
result of cost containment pressures, changing technology, changes in
reimbursement, changes in practice patterns from inpatient to outpatient
treatment and other factors.  In recent years, the competitive position of
hospitals has been affected by the ability of such hospitals to obtain contracts
with Preferred Provider Organizations ("PPO's"), Health Maintenance
Organizations ("HMO's") and other managed care programs to provide inpatient and
other services.  Such contracts normally involve a discount from the hospital's
established charges, but provide a base of patient referrals.  These contracts
also frequently provide for pre-admission certification and for concurrent
length of stay reviews.  The importance of obtaining contracts with HMO's, PPO's
and other managed care companies varies from market to market, depending on the
individual market strength of the managed care companies.  State certificate of
need laws regulate   the Company and its competitors' ability to build new
hospitals and to expand existing hospital facilities and services. These laws do
provide some protection from competition, as their interest is to prevent
duplication of services. In most cases, these laws do not restrict the ability
of the Company or its competitors to offer new outpatient services.   As of June
30, 1997, the Company operated three hospitals in two states (Louisiana, New
Mexico) and CBHS operated 35 hospitals in 10 states (Arizona, Arkansas,
California, Colorado, Indiana, Kansas, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas and Utah)
which do not have certificate of need laws applicable to hospitals.


Managed Care Business - Competition

   The managed healthcare industry is being affected by various external
factors including rising healthcare costs, intense price competition, and market
consolidation by major managed care companies.  Magellan faces competition from
a number of sources including other behavioral health managed care companies and
traditional full service managed care companies that contract to provide
behavioral healthcare benefits.  Also, to a lesser extent, competition exists
from fully capitated multi-specialty medical groups and individual practice
associations that directly contract with managed care companies and other
customers to provide and manage all components of healthcare for the members
including the behavioral healthcare component.  The Company believes that the
most significant factors in a customer's selection of 




<PAGE>

a managed behavioral healthcare company include price, the extent and depth of
provider networks and quality of services.  The Company also believes that the
acquisition of Green Spring and potential acquisition of HAI creates
opportunities to enhance its revenues through managed care contracts utilizing
the continuum of care and through information systems that support care
management and at-risk pricing mechanisms, although no such assurance can be
given.  Management believes that its managed care business competes effectively
with respect to these factors.  However, there can be no assurance that Magellan
will be able to compete successfully in the managed care business in the future.

Regulatory Environment

  The federal government and all states in which the Company and CBHS'
operate regulate various aspects of the Company's and CBHS' businesses.  Such
regulations provide for periodic inspections or other reviews of the Company's
and CBHS'  provider operations by, among others, state agencies, the United
States Department of Health and Human Services (the "Department") and CHAMPUS to
determine compliance with their respective standards of care and other
applicable conditions of participation which is necessary for continued
licensure or participation in identified healthcare programs, including, but not
limited to, Medicare, Medicaid and CHAMPUS.  The Company and CBHS' are also
subject to state regulation regarding the admission and treatment of patients
and federal regulations regarding confidentiality of medical records of
substance abuse patients.  Although the Company and CBHS endeavor to comply with
such regulatory requirements, there can be no assurance that the Company and
CBHS will always be in full compliance.  The failure to obtain or renew any
required regulatory approvals or licenses or to qualify for continued
participation in identified healthcare programs could adversely affect the
Company's and CBHS operations. 

  The Company is also subject to federal and state laws that govern financial
and other arrangements between healthcare providers.  These laws often prohibit
certain direct and indirect payments between healthcare providers that are
designed to induce overutilization of services paid for by Medicare or Medicaid.
Such laws include the anti-kickback provisions of the federal Medicare and
Medicaid Patients and Program Protection Act of 1987.  These provisions
prohibit, among other things, the offer, payment, solicitation or receipt of any
form of remuneration in return for the referral of Medicare and Medicaid
patients.  GPA, the Green Springs subsidiary that owns or manages professional
group practices, is subject to the federal and the state illegal remuneration,
practice of medicine and certain other laws which prohibit the subsidiary from
owning, but not managing, professional practices.  In addition, some states
prohibit business corporations from providing, or holding themselves out as a
provider of, medical care.  The Company endeavors to comply with all federal and
state laws applicable to its business.  However, a violation of these federal
and state laws may result in civil or criminal penalties for individuals or
entities or exclusion from participation in identified healthcare programs.

  Magellan's managed care business operations, in some states, are subject to
utilization review, licensure and related state regulation procedures.   Green
Spring provides managed behavioral healthcare services to various Blue
Cross/Blue Shield plans that operate Medicare and Medicaid health maintenance
organizations or other at-risk managed care programs and that participate in the
Blue Cross Federal Employees health program.  As a contractor to these Blue
Cross/Blue Shield plans, Green Spring is indirectly subject to federal and, with
respect to the Medicaid program, state monitoring and regulation of performance
and financial reporting requirements.  Although Magellan believes that it is in
compliance with all current state and federal regulatory requirements applicable
to the managed care business it conducts, failure to do so could adversely
affect its operations.

  Physician ownership of or investment in healthcare entities to which they
refer patients has come under increasing scrutiny at both state and federal
levels.  Congress passed legislation (commonly referred to as "Stark I") which
prohibits physicians from referring Medicare patients for clinical laboratory
services to an entity with which the physician has a financial relationship. 
The Department recently published final Stark I regulations on August 14, 1995.
Such regulations will govern how the Department views and reviews these
financial relationships.  Additionally, Congress passed legislation (commonly
referred to as "Stark II") which prohibits physicians from referring Medicare or
Medicaid patients for certain designated health services, including inpatient
and outpatient hospital services, to entities in which they have an ownership or
investment interest or with which they have a compensation arrangement.  The
entity is also prohibited from billing the Medicare or Medicaid programs for
such services rendered pursuant to a prohibited referral.  To the extent
designated services are provided by the Company's and CBHS' provider and managed
care operations, physicians who have a financial relationship with the Company
and CBHS'  will be subject to the provisions of Stark II.  Some states have
passed similar legislation which prohibits the referral of private pay patients.
To date, the 



<PAGE>


Department has not published Stark II regulations.  However, the Department
indicated that it will review referrals involving any of the designated services
under the language and interpretations set forth in the Stark I rule.

  The Company's acquisitions and joint venture activities are also subject to
federal antitrust laws.  The healthcare industry has recently been an active
area of antitrust enforcement action by the United States Federal Trade
Commission (the "FTC") and the Department of Justice ("DOJ").  The Company's
acquisitions and joint venture arrangements could be the subject of a DOJ or an
FTC enforcement action which, if determined adversely to the Company, could have
a material adverse effect upon the Company's operations.

  The Company receives from CBHS fixed franchise fees of $78.3 million, which
may increase in certain circumstances.  The Company provides CBHS with an array
of services, including advertising and marketing assistance, risk management
services, outcomes monitoring, consultation with respect to matters relating to
CBHS: business in which the Company has expertise and the Company's operation of
a telephone call ceter utilizing the "1-800-CHARTER" telephone number.  The
Company believes that the franchise fee arrangements described above are
consistent with the Medicare Law Amendments because such arrangements do not
involve the Company's referral of patients to CBHS.  However, there can be no
assurance that regulatory agencies or private parties will not challenge the
Company based on alleged violations of the Medicare Law Amendments.

  Changes in laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or
regulations can have an adverse effect on the Company's operating methods,
costs, reimbursement amounts and acquisition and joint venture activities.  In
addition, the healthcare industry is subject to increasing governmental
scrutiny, and additional laws and regulations may be enacted which could require
changes in the Company's operations.  A federal or state agency charged with
enforcement of such laws and regulations might assert an interpretation of such
laws and resolutions or may increase scrutiny of a previously ignored area,
which may require changes in the Company's operations.

Capitation Arrangements

  The Company's managed care business contracts with companies holding state
HMO or insurance company licenses on a capitated or "at-risk" basis where the
risk of patient care is assumed by the Company in exchange for a monthly fee per
member regardless of utilization level.  As of June 30, 1997, approximately 40%
of Green Spring's managed care members were under capitated arrangements. 
During fiscal 1996, approximately 70% of Green Spring's revenues were from
at-risk contracts.  Increases in utilization levels under capitated contractual
arrangements could adversely effect the operations of the managed care business.

  Some jurisdictions are taking the position that capitated agreements in
which the provider bears the risk should be regulated by insurance laws.  In
this regard, Green Spring's primary customers are comprised of Blue Cross/Blue
Shield Plans and other insurance entities which are licensed insurance
organizations in their respective states.  Green Spring offers "carved out"
managed mental health benefits, on a wholesale basis, as a vendor to the
regulated insurance organizations.  Most current employer group relationships
are also contracted through the respective regulated insurance organizations. 
However, as Magellan and Green Spring develop more direct risk arrangements on a
retail basis directly with employer groups or other non-insurance entity
customers, the Company may be required to obtain insurance licenses in the
respective states where the direct risk arrangements are to be pursued.  There
can be no assurance that the Company can obtain the insurance licenses required
by the respective states in a timely or cost effective manner to respond to
market demand.

Mental Health Parity Legislation

  In October 1996, President Clinton signed a bill submitted by the U.S.
Congress that prohibits health plans from setting  annual or  lifetime caps on
mental health coverage ("parity") at levels below those set for general
medical/surgical healthcare services.  The bill does not require a health plan
to offer or provide mental health services and does not affect other terms and
conditions of health plans, such as inpatient day or outpatient visit limits or
scope of benefits, nor does this bill prohibit health plans from utilizing other
forms of cost containment.  The definition of mental health services in the bill
excludes substance abuse and chemical dependency.  The effective date for the
parity legislation is January 1, 1998.  Other key components of the parity
legislation are as follows:
                                           


<PAGE>

1)   Employers with 50 or fewer employees are exempt from the parity 
     legislation.

2)   Health plans that incur increased costs of 1% or more as a result of the 
     parity legislation will be exempt.

3)   The parity legislation expires on September 30, 2001 unless extended by 
     Congress.

  The Company views the parity legislation as an acknowledgment by the
Federal government of the importance of effective treatment of mental health
disorders for society in general.  The parity legislation could result in cost
containment mechanisms by third party payers such as the elimination of mental
health benefit plans or encouraging the utilization of managed care
organizations to administer mental health benefit plans, which could both result
in lower demand and lower revenue per equivalent patient day in the Company's
provider business.  However, this bill is subject to administrative and judicial
interpretation, neither of which the Company is able to predict.  There can be
no assurance that such interpretations will not adversely effect the Company's
businesses.

Possible Volatility of Stock Price

  The Company believes factors such as announcements with respect to
healthcare reform measures, reductions in government healthcare program
projected expenditures, acquisitions and quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year
variations in financial results could cause the market price of Magellan Common
Stock to fluctuate substantially.  Any such adverse announcement with respect to
healthcare reform measures or program expenditures, acquisitions or any
shortfall in revenue or earnings from levels expected by securities analysts
could have an immediate and significant adverse effect on the trading price of
Magellan Common Stock in any given period.  As a result, the market for Magellan
Common Stock may experience price and volume fluctuations unrelated to the
operating performance of Magellan.
