                                     PART I

ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

Flowserve Corporation ("Flowserve") was incorporated under the laws of the State
of New York on May 1, 1912. On July 22, 1997, Flowserve (formerly known as Durco
International Inc. and The Duriron Company, Inc.) merged with BW/IP, Inc.
("BW/IP") in a stock-for-stock merger of equals, accounted for as a pooling of
interests, with BW/IP becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Flowserve
("Merger"). The Merger created one of the world's leading providers of
industrial flow management services. All references herein to the "Company" or
"Flowserve" refer collectively to Flowserve and its subsidiaries unless
otherwise indicated by the context.

Flowserve is principally engaged in the design, manufacture, distribution and
service of industrial flow management equipment throughout the world. The
Company provides pumps, valves and mechanical seals primarily for the refinery
and pipeline segments of the petroleum industry, the chemical processing
industry and the power generation industry. Flowserve manufactures certain
standard products, but specializes in the development of precision engineered
equipment for critical service applications where high reliability is required.
The Company's materials expertise, design and engineering capabilities and
applications know-how have enabled it to develop product lines that are
responsive to customers needs for manufacturing efficiency, reduced maintenance
cost, and avoidance of premature equipment failure.

An important element of Flowserve's business is its successful emphasis on
providing aftermarket products and services. These consist of supplying parts,
making repairs and providing a variety of technical services for the upgrade or
retrofit of equipment to extend its useful life or improve its operating
characteristics.

The Company operates in one business segment that includes three types of
products: Rotating Equipment, Flow Control and Fluid Sealing. Included at Note
12 of the Financial Statements, provided as part of Item 8 of this Form 10-K and
incorporated herein by reference, is information concerning the Company's
revenues, operating profit and identifiable assets by geographic area for each
year in the three-year period ended December 31, 1997. For a significant portion
of its products, the Company's domestic operations supply each other and the
Company's foreign manufacturing subsidiaries with components and subassemblies.

ROTATING EQUIPMENT DIVISION

PRODUCTS

Through its Rotating Equipment Division, the Company designs, manufactures,
distributes and services pumps and related equipment. Pump products and services
accounted for approximately 45%, 44% and 43% of the Company's 1997, 1996 and
1995 sales, respectively. Pumps are manufactured to industry-recognized
standards, including those set by the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Pump products for the petroleum industry include horizontal double case pumps
used especially for hot oils under high pressure, horizontal multi-stage pumps
used in pipelines, vertical pumps used for low temperature processes, vertical
circulating pumps used for cooling water, submersible pumps used for water or
brine injection in oil fields, and submersible water pumps used on offshore
platforms to supply water for fire fighting.


                                       1
<PAGE>   3


Pump products for chemical processing industries include metallic and
non-metallic pumps, varying in size, capacity, material components and sealant
specifications. These pumps are used primarily to move liquids during processing
activities, but also in auxiliary services such as waste removal, water
treatment and pollution control. The pumps are modular in design and
manufactured to withstand the abrasive and/or corrosive service fluids being
processed by customers in these industries.

Pump products for the power generating industry include a variety of pumps used
in both nuclear and fossil fuel facilities to generate steam. Products for the
fossil fuel power generation industry are horizontal double case pumps for high
pressure boiler feed, horizontal multi-stage pumps for low pressure boiler feed,
vertical double case pumps and vertical circulating pumps.

The Company supplies pumps for other industrial uses, including industrial
production, utility services, pollution control, mining operations and municipal
water transport.

MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION

Pumps or pump components are produced in plant facilities in the United States
(two in California, one in Oklahoma, one in Ohio, two in New Mexico), Mexico,
Argentina, Belgium and two in the Netherlands. Pump manufacturing facilities in
The Netherlands and Belgium are key sources of pumps sold in Europe, Africa and
the Middle East. The Argentine facility provides products primarily for
Argentine customers, but also serves customers in other South American
countries. The Company's Mexican operation manufactures pumps for export and for
Mexican customers. Large vertical circulating pumps manufactured in Mexico are
distributed worldwide. A majority-owned joint venture in India, which began
production in late 1997, manufactures ANSI pumps for export to U.S., Asian and
European markets.

The two specialized component manufacturing facilities in New Mexico provide a
significant portion of pump components (except for ANSI pump components)
previously manufactured at the Company's integrated U.S. pump plants. The
integrated plants were reconfigured to focus on the engineering, assembly and
testing of pumps with machining of components concentrated into two facilities.
The component facilities also supply components to other Company plants outside
of the U.S. on an economically selective basis.

The Company's pump products are primarily marketed to end-users and engineering
contractors through the Company's worldwide pump sales force, regional service
centers, independent distributors and representatives and for modular pumps a
national parts distribution center. Service centers stock a full array of
critical pump parts and have machining and product modification capabilities.

The majority of the Company's sales of pump products in the nuclear power market
are in the United States and Japan, where the Company's large installed base of
equipment provides a continuing market for products and services to ensure
safety and reliability, major customer concerns. A significant characteristic of
the nuclear market worldwide is the stringent requirements that must be met in
order to sell products to nuclear power plants. For example, the Company
maintains a Nuclear Stamp ("N Stamp") from the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers, which is required for qualification to supply certain kinds of
products to the U.S. nuclear industry.

The Company could face liability in excess of its own commercial or government
provided insurance if any of its products were found to contribute to an
accident at a nuclear power facility or at other industrial facilities. The
Company does not maintain nuclear liability insurance for the United States or
Canada, but maintains an aggregate of $15 million in nuclear liability insurance
for all other countries. The Federal Price-Anderson Act of 1954 provides U.S.
nuclear utilities with a system of no-fault


                                       2
<PAGE>   4
insurance coverage in an amount up to about $8.7 billion for third party losses
or damages resulting from a nuclear incident. Canada's Nuclear Liability Act
provides for a system of insurance coverage that generally makes the operator of
a nuclear installation absolutely liable for third party claims arising as a
result of a nuclear incident, up to a maximum liability of (C)$75 million.

FLOW CONTROL DIVISION

PRODUCTS

Through its Flow Control Division, the Company designs, manufactures,
distributes and services mechanical and quarter-turn valves, automatic control
valves, actuators, and related components. Valve products and services accounted
for approximately 27%, 28% and 28% of the Company's 1997, 1996 and 1995 sales,
respectively. Valves are used to control the flow of liquids and gases. Valve
products for industrial processing systems include plug and butterfly valves
made of various metals, alloys and plastics and lined ball valves. Actuators and
other control accessories manufactured by the Company are either sold
independently or mounted on valves to move them from open to closed positions
and to various specified positions in between. Valve products for the nuclear
power market include a complete line of gate, globe and check valves (including
valve actuators). Automatic control valves include high pressure valves, rotary
valves, anti-noise and anti-cavitation valves and are generally sold with an
actuator.

MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION

Valves are produced at facilities in the United States (one in Utah, one in
Pennsylvania, one in Tennessee), Australia, Canada, France, Germany and
Switzerland. Actuators are produced at facilities in the United States (Utah and
Ohio), Canada, France, and Italy. Two Company majority-owned joint ventures in
India (which began production in late 1997) manufacture valves for export to
U.S., Asian and European markets.

Manual valve products and valve actuators are distributed through the Company's
sales personnel, service centers and through a network of independent stocking
distributors. Automatic control valves are marketed through specialized sales
offices with engineers and service centers or on a commission basis through
independent manufacturing representatives in principal marketing centers
throughout the United States and other countries.

FLUID SEALING DIVISION

PRODUCTS

Through its Fluid Sealing Division, the Company designs, manufactures,
distributes and services mechanical seals and sealing systems. Mechanical seal
products and services accounted for approximately 28%, 28% and 29% of the
Company's 1997, 1996 and 1995 sales, respectively. The mechanical seal is
critical to the smooth operation of centrifugal pumps, compressors and mixers
because mechanical seals help prevent leakage between a rotating shaft and a
stationary casing. In doing so, mechanical seals reduce shaft wear on pumps,
compressors and mixers used in many industries. The need to reduce or eliminate
the leakage of liquids and gases due to increasingly stringent environmental
regulations and safety concerns has expanded the market for mechanical seals.
The Company's seals are used on a variety of pumps, mixers, compressors, steam
turbines and specialty equipment, principally in the oil refining and chemical
processing industries. The Company also manufactures a dry gas seal used in gas
transmission and oil and gas production markets.


                                       3

<PAGE>   5

MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION

Mechanical seals are produced in facilities in the United States (one in
California, one in Michigan), The Netherlands, Germany, Mexico, Argentina,
Brazil, Singapore, New Zealand and Japan. Seal manufacturing facilities in The
Netherlands and Germany are key sources of seals sold in Europe, Africa and the
Middle East. The Argentine facility provides products primarily for Argentine
markets, but also serves markets in other South American countries. The Japanese
plant provides products for Japan and parts of Southeast Asia.

The Company's mechanical seal products are primarily marketed through the
Company's worldwide seals sales force directly to end users and engineering and
construction firms. A portion of the Company's seal products is sold directly to
original equipment ("OE") manufacturers for pumps, compressors, mixers or other
rotary equipment requiring seals. Distributors, dealers, commissioned
representatives and sales agents are also used in the distribution and sale of
mechanical seal products.

GENERAL BUSINESS

SERVICE AND REPAIR

The Company has established certain facilities throughout the world which have
the capability to provide service and repair functions for all Company products
from the Rotating Equipment, Fluid Sealing and Flow Control Divisions. The
Company believes that these consolidated service and repair facilities provide a
substantial growth opportunity and has established a special management team to
focus on this effort.

BACKLOG

The Company's backlog of orders at December 31, 1997, was $291.6 million
compared to $287.1 million at December 31, 1996. The Company believes that a
high percentage of the current backlog will be shipped by December 31, 1998.

COMPETITION

The markets for the Company's products are highly competitive. Competition
occurs on the basis of price, technical expertise, delivery, previous
installation history and reputation for quality. Delivery speed and the
proximity of service centers are particularly important with respect to
aftermarket products. Customers are more likely to rely on the Company than
competitors for aftermarket products relating to its more highly engineered and
customized products than for its standard products. Price competition tends to
be more significant for OE manufacturers than aftermarket services and has been
increasing with ongoing overcapacity in pump markets.

In the aftermarket portion of its pump business, the Company competes against
both large and well-established national or global competitors and, in some
markets, against smaller regional and local companies, as well as the in-house
maintenance departments of the Company's end-user customers. In the sale of
aftermarket products and services, the Company benefits from the large installed
base of pumps which require maintenance, repair and replacement parts.

In the petroleum industry the competitors for aftermarket services tend to be
the customers themselves because of their sophisticated in-house capabilities.
In other industries, except the nuclear power industry, the competitors for
aftermarket services tend to be low cost replicators of spare parts and local
repair shops for the Company's products. The Company has certain competitive
advantages in the 


                                       4
<PAGE>   6

nuclear power industry because it maintains the N stamp that is required to
service customers in that industry, and because the Company has a considerable
base of proprietary knowledge.

 Customers for the Company's products are attempting to reduce the number of
vendors from which they purchase in order to reduce the size and diversity of
inventory. Although vendor reduction programs could adversely affect the
Company's business, the Company has been successful in entering into "alliance"
arrangements with a number of customers both in the United States and overseas
which provide competitive advantages to the Company.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Company conducts research and development at its own facilities in various
locations. In 1997, 1996, and 1995, the Company spent approximately $14.8
million, $13.9 million, and $13.6 million, respectively, on Company-sponsored
research and development, primarily for new product development

The Company's research and development group consists of engineers involved in
new product development as well as the support and improvement of existing
products. Additionally, the Company sponsors consortium programs for research
with various universities and conducts limited development work jointly with
certain of its vendors, licensees and customers. Management believes current
expenditures are adequate to sustain ongoing research and development
activities.

CUSTOMERS

The Company sells to a wide variety of customers. No individual customer
accounted for more than 10% of the Company's 1997 net sales.

RISKS OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS

Approximately 48% of the Company's sales are to customer locations outside the
United States. The Company's activities thus are subject to the customary risks
of operating in an international environment, such as unstable political
situations, local laws, the potential imposition of trade restrictions or tariff
increases and the relationship of the U.S. dollar to other currencies. The
impact of these conditions is mitigated somewhat by the strength and diversity
of the Company's product lines and geographic coverage. To minimize the impact
of foreign exchange rate movements on its operating results, the Company enters
into forward exchange contracts to hedge specific foreign currency denominated
transactions. See Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 23 and 24
of the 1997 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is incorporated by reference in
this Form 10-K. The Company conducts substantial business activities in the
Middle East.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Company owns a number of trademarks and patents relating to the name and
design of its products. The Company considers its trademarks Byron Jackson(R),
Durco(R), United Centrifugal(R), Byron Jackson/United(R), Durametallic(R), BW
Seals(R), GASPAC(R), Pacific Wietz(TM), Five Star Seal(R), Wilson-Snyder(R),
Valtek(R), Kammer(R), Sereg(TM) and Automax(R) to be important to its business.
The patents underlying much of the technology for the Company's products have
been in the public domain for many years. Surviving patents are not considered,
either individually or in the aggregate, material to the Company's business.
However, the Company's pool of proprietary information, consisting of know-how
and trade secrets relating to the design, manufacture and operation of its
products and their use, is considered particularly important and valuable.
Accordingly the Company protects such proprietary information.


                                       5

<PAGE>   7
The Company, in general, is the owner of the rights to the products which it
manufactures and sells, and the Company is not dependent in any material way
upon any license or franchise to operate.

RAW MATERIALS

The principal raw materials used by the Company in the manufacture of its
products are normally readily available. While substantially all raw materials
are purchased from outside sources, the Company has been able to obtain an
adequate supply of raw materials, and no shortage of such materials is currently
anticipated. The Company intends to expand its use of worldwide sourcing to
capitalize on low cost sources of purchased goods.

The Company is a vertically-integrated manufacturer of certain products. Certain
corrosion-resistant castings for Company pumps and quarter-turn valves are
manufactured at the Dayton, Ohio foundries; other metal castings are purchased
from outside sources.

The Company also produces most of its highly engineered corrosion resistant
plastic parts for certain pump and valve product lines. This includes
rotomolding as well as injection and compression molding of a variety of
fluorocarbon and other plastic materials.

Suppliers of raw materials for nuclear markets must be qualified by the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers and, accordingly, are limited in number.
However, the Company to date has experienced no significant difficulty in
obtaining such materials.

EMPLOYEES AND LABOR RELATIONS

The Company and its subsidiaries employ approximately 7,200 persons of whom
approximately 59% work in the United States. The Company's hourly employees at
its four principal U.S. pump manufacturing plants in Los Angeles, California,
San Jose, California (to be closed in mid-1998), Dayton, Ohio, and Tulsa,
Oklahoma, at its valve manufacturing plant in Williamsport, Pennsylvania and at
its foundry in Dayton, Ohio are represented by unions. The Company's operations
in Mexico, The Netherlands, Germany and Belgium are unionized. The Company
believes employee relations throughout its operations are satisfactory.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS AND PROCEEDINGS

The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations in all
jurisdictions in which it has operating facilities and periodically makes
capital expenditures for pollution abatement and control to meet environmental
requirements. At present the Company has no plans for any material capital
expenditures for environmental control facilities. However, the Company has
experienced and continues to experience operating costs relating to
environmental matters, although certain costs have been offset in part by the
Company's successful waste minimization programs.

The Company believes that future environmental compliance expenditures will not
have a material adverse effect on its financial position and has established
allowances which it believes to be adequate to cover potential environmental
liabilities.

EXPORT LICENSES

Licenses are required from U.S. government agencies to export certain of the
Company's products from the United States. In particular, products with nuclear
applications are restricted, although limitations are placed on the export of
certain other pump, valve and seal products as well.

</TABLE>

All of the Company's principal manufacturing facilities are owned with the
exception of the facilities in Cookeville, Tennessee; Springboro, Ohio; Hengelo,
The Netherlands; and Dortmund, Germany.

On the average, the Company utilizes approximately 80% to 90% of its
manufacturing capacity, although there is a variation in usage rate among the
facilities. The Company could, in general, increase its capacity through the
purchase of new or additional manufacturing equipment without obtaining
additional facilities.

The Company maintains a substantial network of domestic and foreign service
centers and sales offices most of which are leased.

The Company is leasing its former manufacturing facility in Van Nuys, California
to a third party with an option to purchase. In November 1997, the Company
announced the closing of its San Jose pump manufacturing facility in 1998 and
has entered into a letter of intent to sell this property.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


In our opinion, the consolidated balance sheet and the related consolidated
statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows of BW/IP, Inc. (not
presented separately herein) present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of BW/IP, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1996 and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years
in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
                         ON FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Flowserve Corporation


We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Flowserve Corporation
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and for each of the three
years in the period ending December 31, 1997, and have issued our report thereon
dated February 20, 1998 appearing on page 38 of the 1997 Annual Report (which
report and consolidated financial statements are incorporated by reference in
this Form 10-K). Our audits also included the financial statement schedules
listed in Item 14(a) of this Form 10-K. These schedules are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion based
on our audits. We did not audit the 1996 and 1995 financial statements of BW/IP,
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, which statements reflect total assets
constituting 49% of the related consolidated total as of December 31, 1996, and
total revenues constituting 45% and 46% of the related totals for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. We have been furnished with the
report of other auditors with respect to Schedule 14(a) of BW/IP, Inc.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the
financial statement schedules referred to above, when considered in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material
respects the information set forth therein.

into by and among FLOWSERVE CORPORATION, a New York corporation ("Borrower"),
each lender whose name is set forth on the signature pages of this Agreement
and each lender which may hereafter become a party to this Agreement
(collectively, the "Banks" and individually, a "Bank"), Bank of America
National Trust and Savings Association, as Agent, and the Issuing Bank.

             In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein
contained, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

correlative terms, "controlled by" and "under common control with") shall mean
possession, directly or indirectly, of power to direct or cause the direction
of management or policies (whether through ownership of securities or
partnership or other ownership interests, by contract or otherwise); provided
that, in any event, any Person that owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more
of the securities having ordinary voting power for the election of directors or
other governing body of a corporation that has more than 100 record holders of
such securities, or 10% or more of the partnership or other ownership interests
of any other Person that has more than 100 record holders of such interests,
will be deemed to control such corporation, partnership or other Person.

             (a)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, each Bank severally agrees, to make, Convert and Continue Committed
Loans in Dollars or in Approved Offshore Currencies during the Availability
Period as Borrower may request; provided, however, that the Outstanding
Obligations of each Bank (excluding any outstanding Competitive Loans of such
Bank) shall not exceed such Bank's Commitment and the Outstanding Obligations
of all the Banks shall not exceed the combined Commitments at any time.
Subject to the foregoing and other terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may
borrow, Convert, Continue, prepay and reborrow Committed Loans as set forth
herein without premium or penalty.

             (b)    Loans made by each Bank shall be evidenced by one or more
loan accounts or records maintained by such Bank in the ordinary course of
business.  Upon the request of any Bank made through the Agent, such Bank's
Loans may be evidenced by one or more Notes, instead of or in addition to loan
accounts.  Each such Bank may attach schedules to its Note(s) and endorse
thereon the date, currency, amount and maturity of its Committed Loans and
payments with respect thereto.  Such loan accounts, records or Notes shall be
conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of such Loans and payments
thereon.  Any failure so to record or any error in doing so shall not, however,
limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower to pay any amount owing
with respect to the Loans.

             2.2    Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Committed 
Loans.

             (a)    Borrower may irrevocably request a Borrowing, Conversion or
Continuation of Committed Loans in a Minimum Amount therefor by delivering a
duly completed Request for Extension of Credit therefor by Requisite Notice to
the Agent not later than the Requisite Time therefor.  All Borrowings,
Conversions or Continuations shall constitute Base Rate Loans unless properly
and timely otherwise designated as set forth in the preceding sentence.

             (b)    Promptly following receipt of a Request for Extension of
Credit, the Agent shall notify each Bank of its Pro Rata Share thereof by
Requisite Notice.  If any Bank promptly notifies the Agent that it is unable,
in its sole discretion, to fund an Offshore Currency Loan in the requested
currency, such request for Extension of Credit shall be deemed withdrawn.  In
the case of a Borrowing of Loans, each Bank shall make the funds for its Loan
available to the Agent in the currency of such Loan at the Agent's Office not
later than the Requisite Time therefor on the Business Day specified in such
Request for Extension of Credit.  Upon satisfaction or waiver of the applicable
conditions set forth in Section 4, all funds so received shall be made
available to Borrower in like funds received.

             (c)    The Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the Banks of
the Offshore Rate and, if an Offshore Currency Loan, the Dollar Equivalent
thereof, applicable to any Offshore Rate Loan upon determination thereof.

Loans with no more than ten different Interest Periods shall be outstanding at
any one time.

             (e)    No Loans other than Base Rate Loans may be requested or
continued during the existence of a Default or Event of Default.  During the
existence of a Default or Event of Default, the Requisite Banks may determine
that any or all of the then outstanding Committed Loans other than Base Rate
Loans shall be Converted to Base Rate Loans.  Such Conversion shall be
effective upon notice to Borrower from the Agent and shall continue so long as
such Default or Event of Default continues to exist.

             (f)    If a Loan is to be made on the same date that another Loan
is due and payable, Borrower or the Banks, as the case may be, shall make
available to the Agent the net amount of funds giving effect to both such Loans
and the effect for purposes of this Agreement shall be the same as if separate
transfers of funds had been made with respect to each such Loan.

             (g)    The failure of any Bank to make any Loan on any date shall
not relieve any other Bank of any obligation to make a Loan on such date, but
no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to so make its
Loan.

             2.3    Competitive Loans.

             (a)    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at any time and
from time to time during the Availability Period, each Bank may in its sole and
absolute discretion make Competitive Loans to Borrower in such principal
amounts as Borrower may request; provided, however, that the Outstanding
Obligations of all the Banks shall not exceed the combined Commitments at any
time; provided, further, that the outstanding Competitive Loans made by any
Bank may exceed its Commitment.  The Competitive Loans shall be deemed to
utilize the combined Commitments by an amount equal to the aggregate
outstanding principal amount thereof.

             (b)    Borrower may irrevocably request Competitive Loans in
Dollars in a Competitive Loan Minimum Amount therefor by delivering a duly
completed Competitive Bid Request by Requisite Notice to the Agent not later
than the Competitive Loan Requisite Time therefor.  Each Competitive Bid
Request shall state whether a Competitive Bid is requested on the basis of a
fixed interest rate (an "Absolute Rate Bid") or on the basis of a margin above
or below the Offshore Base Rate (an "Offshore Rate Bid").  Borrower may not
request Competitive Bids for more than three maturities nor request more than
one type of Competitive Loan in a single Competitive Bid Request.  Unless the
Agent otherwise agrees, in its sole and absolute discretion, Borrower may not
submit a Competitive Bid Request if it has submitted another Competitive Bid
Request within the prior five Business Days.

             (c)    No Competitive Bid Request shall be made for an Absolute
Bid with a maturity of less than 30 days or more than 180 days, for an Offshore
Rate Bid with a maturity of





                                      -25-

less than one month or more than six months, or in any case with a maturity

             (d)    The Agent shall promptly notify the Banks of a Competitive
Bid Request by delivering a written copy thereof to the Banks.  Each Bank may,
in its sole and absolute discretion, bid or not bid on all or a portion of the
Competitive Loans requested in such Competitive Bid Request by delivering by
Requisite Notice an irrevocable, duly completed Competitive Bid to the Agent by
the Competitive Loan Requisite Time for delivering Competitive Bids.  Any
Competitive Bid received after such Competitive Loan Requisite Time, that is in
a form other than a duly completed Competitive Bid Request, or that is
otherwise not responsive to the Competitive Bid Request shall be disregarded.
A Bank may subsequently correct any Competitive Bid containing a manifest error
if it does so by the Competitive Loan Requisite Time for delivering Competitive
Bids.  The Agent may, but shall not be required to, notify any Bank of any
manifest error it detects in such Bank's Competitive Bid.

             (e)    The Competitive Bid Maximum offered by a Bank for any
Competitive Loan(s) requested in a Competitive Bid may be less than the
principal amount of such Competitive Loan(s) requested by Borrower, but shall
not be less than the Competitive Loan Minimum Amount for any Competitive Loan
for which such Bank is bidding.  Each Competitive Bid shall expire unless
accepted by Borrower prior to the Competitive Loan Requisite Time for accepting
Competitive Bids.

             (f)    The Agent shall promptly notify Borrower of the names of
the Banks providing conforming Competitive Bids and the terms of such
Competitive Bids.  Borrower may, in its sole and absolute discretion, accept or
reject any Competitive Bid, or any portion thereof, provided, that if Borrower
accepts any Competitive Bid, or any portion thereof, the following shall apply:
(i) Borrower must notify the Agent of its acceptance of any Competitive Bids
not later than the Competitive Loan Requisite Time for doing so, (ii) Borrower
must accept all Absolute Rate Bids at all lower fixed interest rates before
accepting any portion of Absolute Rate Bids at a higher fixed interest rate,
(iii) Borrower must accept all Offshore Rate Bids at all lower margins over the
Offshore Base Rate before accepting any portion of Offshore Rate Bids at a
higher margin over the Offshore Base Rate, (iv) each Competitive Loan to be
made must be in a Competitive Loan Minimum Amount therefor, (v) if two or more
Banks have submitted a Competitive Bid at the same fixed interest rate or
margin, then Borrower must accept either all of such Competitive Bids or accept
such Competitive Bids in the same proportion as the Competitive Bid Maximum of
each Bank for such Competitive Loan bears to the aggregate Competitive Bid
Maximums of all such Banks for such Competitive Loans (subject to clause (iv)
above) and (vi) Borrower may not accept Competitive Bids for an aggregate
amount in excess of the Competitive Loans requested in its Competitive Bid
Request.

             (g)    The Agent shall promptly notify each of the Banks whose
Competitive Bid, or any portion thereof, has been accepted or rejected by
Borrower by telephone, which notification shall promptly be confirmed in
writing, delivered in person or by telecopier to such Banks.  Any Competitive
Bid, or portion thereof, not timely accepted by Borrower and/or timely notified
by the Agent to a Bank as having been accepted shall be deemed rejected.

             (h)    In the case of a Offshore Rate Bid, the Agent shall
determine the Offshore Base Rate on the date which is two Business Days prior
to the date of the proposed Competitive Loan, and shall promptly thereafter
notify Borrower and the Banks whose Offshore Rate Bids were accepted by
Borrower of such Offshore Base Rate.

             (i)    Each Bank which has had a Competitive Bid, or portion
thereof, accepted by Borrower shall make the funds for its Competitive Loan(s)
available to the Agent at the Agent's Office not later than the Requisite Time
for making such funds available on the Business Day specified in such
Competitive Loan Request.  Upon satisfaction or waiver of the applicable
conditions set forth in Section 4, all funds so received shall be made
available to Borrower.

             (j)    The Agent shall notify all Banks promptly after each
Competitive Bid auction of the ranges of bids submitted and accepted for each
Competitive Loan and the aggregate amount of Competitive Loans borrowed.

             (k)    Each Bank's Competitive Loan shall be evidenced by that
Bank's Competitive Loan Note or by one or more loan accounts or records
maintained by such Bank in the ordinary course of business, in each case
subject to Section 2.1(b).

             (l)    Each Competitive Loan shall be due and payable on the
maturity date of such Competitive Loan.

             (m)    Any Bank may designate one or more Competitive Loan
Designated Bidders to have a right, in addition to itself, to offer and make
Competitive Loans Bid Loans hereunder by causing such Competitive Loan
Designated Bidders to become a party to this Agreement by duly executing and
delivering to the Agent a Competitive Loan Designated Bidder Joinder Agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 hereto.  The Agent shall notify
Borrower of any such Competitive Loan Designated Bidders.  Upon the Agent
accepting an appropriately completed Competitive Loan Designated Bidder Joinder
Agreement, the Designated Bidder shall be deemed to be a direct party to this
Agreement subject to the following:

                    (i)   a Competitive Loan Designated Bidder shall have the
         rights and obligations of a Bank under this Section 2.3, including
         being solely liable for the performance of its obligations relating to
         its Competitive Loans, except that the designating Bank may retain
         some or all of such rights, such as receiving and giving notices
         directly from and to the Agent and funding and receiving payments
         directly through the Agent, as provided in a Competitive Loan
         Designated Bidder Joinder Agreement; and

                    (ii)  except as aforesaid, a Competitive Loan Designated
         Bidder shall have only the rights of a participant with respect to its
         Competitive Loans as set forth in Section 10.8(e); provided, however,
         that notwithstanding Section 10.8(e)(iii), a Competitive Loan
         Designated Bidder shall have rights only under Sections 3.1, 3.5 and
         3.6 and Section 10.9, unless the Competitive Loan Designated Bidder
         Joinder Agreement provides that the Competitive Loan Designated Bidder
         shall have fewer rights.

<PAGE>   33
             Upon the request of a Competitive Loan Designated Bidder made
through the Agent, Borrower shall execute and deliver a Competitive Loan Note
to evidence Competitive Loans made by such Competitive Loan Designated Bidder.
A Bank may revoke any designation of a Competitive Loan Designated Bidder at
any time upon written notice to the Agent, but such revocation shall not affect
the rights and obligations of a Competitive Loan Designated Bidder as to any of
its outstanding Competitive Loans.

             (n) Borrower shall pay to the Agent for its own account an
administration fee in an amount set forth in a letter agreement dated August
22, 1997 between Borrower and the Agent for each Competitive Bid Request
submitted (whether or not any bids are submitted or accepted) which fee shall
be payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the
Maturity Date.

             2.4    Letters of Credit.

             (a)    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at any time and
from time to time from the Closing Date through the Maturity Date, the Issuing
Bank shall issue, supplement, modify, amend, renew, or extend Letters of Credit
in Dollars or in  Approved Offshore Currencies under the Commitments as
Borrower may request; provided, however, that (i) the Outstanding Obligations
of each Bank (excluding any outstanding Competitive Loans of such Bank) shall
not exceed such Bank's Commitment and the Outstanding Obligations of all the
Banks shall not exceed the combined Commitments at any time and (ii) the
aggregate outstanding Letter of Credit Usage shall not exceed the Dollar
Equivalent of $100,000,000 at any time. Each Letter of Credit shall be in a
form reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank and shall not violate any
policies of the Issuing Bank.  The Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to issue
a Letter of Credit denominated in a foreign currency if and so long as the
Issuing Bank determines that foreign currency market circumstances make it
unlawful, impossible or impracticable for the Issuing bank to issue such Letter
of Credit.  Unless all the Banks, the Agent and the Issuing Bank otherwise
consent in a writing delivered to the Agent, and subject to permitting
"evergreen" Letters of Credit as provided in subsection (b) below, no Letter of
Credit shall expire later than the earlier of (x) the Maturity Date and (y)
five years after its date of original issuance.

             (b)    Borrower may irrevocably request the issuance, supplement,
modification, amendment, renewal, or extension of a Letter of Credit by
delivering a duly completed Letter of Credit Application therefor to the
Issuing Bank, with a copy to the Agent, by Requisite Notice not later than the
Requisite Time therefor. Unless the Administrative Agent notifies the Issuing
Bank that such Letter of Credit Action is not permitted hereunder or the
Issuing Bank determines that such Letter of Credit Action is contrary to any
Laws or policies of the Issuing Bank or does not otherwise conform to the
requirements of this Agreement, the Issuing Bank shall effect such Letter of
Credit Action.  Letters of Credit may have automatic extension or renewal
provisions ("evergreen" Letters of Credit) so long as the Issuing Bank has the
right to terminate such evergreen Letters of Credit no less frequently than
annually within a notice period to be agreed upon at the time each such Letter
of Credit is issued.  This Agreement shall control in the event of any conflict
with any Letter of Credit Application.

<PAGE>   34
             (c)    Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Bank shall be
deemed to have purchased a pro rata participation in such Letter of Credit, as
from time to time supplemented, amended, renewed, or extended, from the Issuing
Bank in an amount equal to that Bank's Pro Rata Share.  Without limiting the
scope and nature of each Bank's participation in any Letter of Credit, to the
extent that the Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed by Borrower for any
payment required to be made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit,
each Bank shall, pro rata according to its Pro Rata Share, reimburse the
Issuing Bank through the Agent promptly upon demand for the amount of such
payment.  The obligation of each Bank to so reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of an
Event of Default or any other occurrence or event.  Any such reimbursement
shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to reimburse
the Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under
any Letter of Credit together with interest as hereinafter provided.

             (d)    Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank through the
Agent an amount equal to any payment made by the Issuing Bank with respect to
each Letter of Credit within one Business Day after demand made by the Issuing
Bank therefor.  The principal amount of any such payment shall be used to
reimburse the Issuing Bank for the payment made by it under the Letter of
Credit.  Each Bank that has reimbursed the Issuing Bank for its Pro Rata Share
of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit shall
thereupon acquire a pro rata participation, to the extent of such
reimbursement, in the claim of the Issuing Bank against Borrower under this
Section and shall share, in accordance with that pro rata participation, in any
payment made by Borrower with respect to such claim.

             (e)    If Borrower fails to make the payment required by
subsection (d) above within the time period therein set forth, in lieu of the
reimbursement to the Issuing Bank under such subsection, the Issuing Bank may
(but is not required to), without notice to or the consent of Borrower,
instruct the Agent to cause Loans to be made by the Banks in an aggregate
amount equal to the amount paid by the Issuing Bank with respect to that Letter
of Credit and, for this purpose, the conditions precedent set forth in Section
4 shall not apply.  The proceeds of such Loans shall be paid to the Issuing
Bank to reimburse it for the payment made by it under the Letter of Credit.
Such Loans shall be payable upon demand and shall bear interest at the Default
Rate.

             (f)    Once an evergreen Letter of Credit is issued, Borrower
shall not be required to annually request that the Issuing Bank permit the
renewal thereof.  Borrower, the Agent and the Banks authorize (but may not
require) the Issuing Bank to, in its sole discretion, permit the renewal of
such evergreen Letter of Credit if such Letter of Credit could be issued in the
first instance at such time.

             (g)    The obligation of Borrower to pay to the Issuing Bank the
amount of any payment made by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit shall
be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable.  Without limiting the foregoing,
Borrower's obligations shall not be affected by any of the following
circumstances:

                 (i)      any lack of validity or enforceability of the Letter
         of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument
         relating thereto;





                                      -29-
<PAGE>   35
                 (ii)   any amendment or waiver of or any consent to
         departure from the Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other
         agreement or instrument relating thereto, with the consent of
         Borrower;

                 (iii)  the existence of any claim, setoff, defense, or other
         rights which Borrower may have at any time against the Issuing Bank,
         the Agent or any Bank, any beneficiary of the Letter of Credit (or any
         persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary may be acting) or
         any other Person, whether in connection with the Letter of Credit,
         this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto,
         or any unrelated transactions;

                 (iv)   any demand, statement, or any other document
         presented under the 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 whatsoever so long as any such
         document appeared to comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit;

                 (v)    payment by the Issuing Bank in good faith under the
         Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or any accompanying
         document which does not strictly comply with the terms of the Letter
         of Credit;

                 (vi)   the existence, character, quality, quantity,
         condition, packing, value or delivery of any property purported to be
         represented by documents presented in connection with any Letter of
         Credit or for any difference between any such property and the
         character, quality, quantity, condition, or value of such property as
         described in such documents;

                 (vii)  the time, place, manner, order or contents of shipments
         or deliveries of property as described in documents presented in
         connection with any Letter of Credit or the existence, nature and
         extent of any insurance relative thereto;

                 (viii) the solvency or financial responsibility of any party
         issuing any documents in connection with a Letter of Credit;

                 (ix)   any failure or delay in notice of shipments or
         arrival of any property;

                 (x)    any error in the transmission of any message relating
         to a Letter of Credit not caused by the Issuing Bank, or any delay or
         interruption in any such message;

                 (xi)   any error, neglect or default of any correspondent
         of the Issuing Bank in connection with a Letter of Credit;

                 (xii)  any consequence arising from acts of God, wars,
         insurrections, civil unrest, disturbances, labor disputes, emergency
         conditions or other causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank;

                 (xiii) so long as the Issuing Bank in good faith determines
         that the contract or document appears to comply with the terms of the
         Letter of Credit, the form, accuracy,





                                      -30-
<PAGE>   36
         genuineness or legal effect of any contract or document referred to in
         any document submitted to the Issuing Bank in connection with a Letter
         of Credit; and

                 (xiv)  where the Issuing Bank has acted in good faith and
         observed general banking usage, any other circumstances whatsoever.

             (h)    To the extent not inconsistent with applicable Laws, each
Letter of Credit shall also be governed by the most recent version of the
Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits published by the
International Chamber of Commerce in effect when such Letter of Credit was
issued.

             (i)  With respect to each outstanding Letter of Credit, Borrower
shall pay to the Agent, for the account of each of the Banks in accordance with
its Pro Rata Share, a fee equal to the following percent of the average daily
maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, calculated in
accordance with the following table:

                                                             payable upon issuance
</TABLE>

             Letter of Credit fees for Performance Standby Letters of Credit
and Financial Standby Letters of Credit shall accrue from the issuance of such
Letter of Credit until its expiration or termination and shall be payable
quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and such termination or
expiration date.  Such fees shall be calculated quarterly in arrears; if there
is any change in the Applicable Amount during any quarter, the average daily
undrawn face amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Amount
separately for each period that such Applicable Amount was in effect during
such quarter.    These fees are nonrefundable.

             (j)    Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the sole account of the
Issuing Bank a fronting fee equal to 10 basis points.  In addition, Borrower
shall pay directly to the Issuing Bank for its sole account its customary
documentary and processing charges in accordance with its standard schedule, as
from time to time in effect, for any issuance, amendment, transfer, supplement,
modification, renewal, extension or other action relating to a Letter of
Credit.

             2.5    Prepayments.

             (a)    Upon Requisite Notice to the Agent not later than the
Requisite Time therefor, Borrower may at any time and from time to time
voluntarily prepay Committed Loans in the Minimum Amount therefor in the
currency of such Committed Loan.  The Agent will promptly notify each Bank of
such Bank's Pro Rata Share of such prepayment.

             (b)    On any date that Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
receives any Excess Net Proceeds which are not reinvested as set forth in
Section 7.6(g), Borrower shall apply an amount equal to such Excess Net
Proceeds first to prepay Committed Loans in full, second to deposit cash to be
held by the Agent in an interest-bearing cash collateral account as collateral
for any Letter of Credit Usage, and third to prepay outstanding Competitive
Loans.  The combined Commitments shall also be reduced by an amount equal to
such Excess Net Proceeds in accordance with Section 2.6(a).

             (c)    If for any reason the Outstanding Obligations exceed the
combined Commitments (including, without limitation, by reason of the Agent
from time to time determining the Dollar Equivalent of Outstanding Obligations
in accordance with Section 1.8) as in effect or as reduced or because of any
limitation set forth in this Agreement or otherwise, Borrower shall immediately
first prepay Committed Loans in full, second deposit cash to be held by the
Agent in an interest-bearing cash collateral account as collateral for any
Letter of





                                      -32-
<PAGE>   38
Credit Usage, and third prepay outstanding Competitive Loans in an aggregate
amount equal to such excess.

             (d)    Any prepayment of a Loan other than a Base Rate Loan shall
be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with the costs set
forth in Section 3.6.

             (e)    Each payment or prepayment of outstanding Committed Loans
must be made ratably among all Banks.  Each payment or prepayment of
Competitive Loans must be made ratably among all outstanding Competitive Loans
of the same type borrowed on the same day; provided, however, that, except as
set forth in subsection (b) above, no Competitive Loan may be prepaid without
the prior written consent of the Bank making such Competitive Loan.

             2.6    Mandatory and Voluntary Reduction or Termination of 
Commitments.

             (a)    Upon any date that the Loans are required to be prepaid
pursuant to Section 2.5(b) (whether or not Loans are, in fact, so prepaid), the
combined Commitments shall automatically be reduced as of the date of such
required prepayment by an amount equal to such prepayment requirement (whether
or not Loans are, in fact, so prepaid in such amount).

             (b)    Upon Requisite Notice to the Agent not later than the
Requisite Time therefor, Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from
time to time, without penalty or charge, to permanently and irrevocably, reduce
the combined Commitments in a Minimum Amount therefor, or terminate the then
unused portion of the combined Commitments.

             (c)    The Agent shall promptly notify the Banks of any reduction
or the termination of the Commitments under this Section.  Any mandatory or
voluntary reduction or termination of the combined Commitments shall be
accompanied by payment of all accrued and unpaid facility fees with respect to
the portion of the combined Commitments being reduced or terminated.  Each
Bank's Commitment shall be reduced by an amount equal to such Bank's Pro Rata
Share times the amount of such reduction.

             2.7    Optional Increase of the Commitments.

             (a)    Not more than once in any calendar year, Borrower may
propose to increase the combined Commitments by an aggregate amount of not less
than the Minimum Amount therefor (a "Proposed Combined Commitments Increase")
in the manner set forth below; provided that (i) the then current combined
Commitments plus the Proposed Combined Commitments Increase shall not be
greater than the Maximum Permitted Combined Commitments; (ii) immediately prior
to and after giving effect to the Proposed Combined Commitments Increase no
event has occurred and is continuing that constitutes an Event of Default or
Default; and (iii) Borrower shall pay any costs payable under Section 3.6 if
and to the extent any Offshore Rate Loans are prepaid on the effective date of
such increase (the "Increase Date").

             (b)    Borrower may request a Proposed Combined Commitments
Increase by delivering to the Agent, by Requisite Notice not later than the
Requisite Time therefor.  Such notice (i) shall specify the Proposed Combined
Commitments Increase and the proposed





                                      -33-
<PAGE>   39
Increase Date, and (ii) may specify Eligible Assignees that are not Banks (the
"Third Parties"), to whom Borrower desires to offer all or a portion of the
Proposed Combined Commitments Increase, to the extent not committed to by the
existing Banks.  The Agent shall in turn promptly notify each Bank by sending
each Bank a copy of such notice.

             (c)    Each Bank, in its sole discretion, may irrevocably offer to
commit to all or a portion of the Proposed Combined Commitments Increase in
increments of $1,000,000 (the "Proposed Increased Commitment") by notifying the
Agent (which shall give prompt notice thereof to Borrower) by Requisite Notice
not later than the Requisite Time therefor.  If the amount of Proposed
Increased Commitments exceeds the Proposed Combined Commitments Increase, such
Proposed Increased Commitments shall be allocated on a pro rata basis based on
the ratio of each Bank's Proposed Increased Commitment, if any, to the
aggregate of all Proposed Increased Commitments.  Each Bank that submits a
Proposed Increased Commitment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an
Increased Commitment Acceptance therefor.

             (d)    If any portion of the Proposed Combined Commitments
Increase not committed to by existing Banks equals or exceeds $5,000,000 (the
"Increase Remainder"), the Agent shall notify each Third Party thereof four
Business Days before the Increase Date.  Each Third Party may irrevocably
commit to all or a portion of the Increase Remainder in a minimum principal
amount of $5,000,000 (a "Proposed New Commitment") by notifying the Agent by
Requisite Notice (who shall give prompt notice thereof to Borrower) by the
Requisite Time therefor.  If there are Third Parties willing to commit to more
than the Increase Remainder, Borrower, in consultation with the Agent, may
allocate the Increase Remainder in its sole discretion, but keeping the
$5,000,000 minimum requirement.  Each Third Party that submits a Proposed New
Commitment shall execute and deliver to the Agent a New Commitment Acceptance
therefor.  By executing and delivering a New Commitment Acceptance, each Third
Party shall be deemed to have agreed with the matters set forth in Section
10.8(c)(iii)-(vi).

             (e)    If the commitments of the Banks and Third Parties to the
Proposed Combined Commitments Increase equal the Proposed Combined Commitments
Increase, the combined Commitments shall be increased by the Proposed Combined
Commitment Increase on the Increase Date provided the Agent shall have received
on or before the Increase Date certified copies of the resolutions of the
Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of Borrower approving such
increase of the combined Commitments, and of all documents evidencing other
necessary corporate action, if any, with respect to such increase.  Upon any
Third Party paying an assignment fee of $3,000 to the Agent, any Third Parties
shall become a Bank hereunder, and the Agent shall, promptly following the
effective date thereof, provide to Borrower and the Banks a revised Schedule
10.6 giving effect thereto.  Borrower agrees that it shall execute and deliver
upon request to such Third Party, one or more Notes evidencing that assignee
Bank's Pro Rata Share.

             (f)    If, after giving effect to the Proposed Combined
Commitments Increase, any Bank's revised Pro Rata Share of the combined
Commitments is different than its share of Outstanding Obligations, the
Outstanding Obligations shall be reallocated among the Banks as follows.  On
the Increase Date Borrower shall be deemed to have prepaid all outstanding
Committed Loans in accordance with Section 2.5 and reborrowed all Committed
Loans in accordance with Section 2.2 from all Banks ratably in accordance with
their revised Pro Rata





                                      -34-

Shares.  Each Bank having a decreased Pro Rata Share (a "Selling Bank") agrees
to sell and assign to each other Bank (each a "Buying Bank"), and each Buying
Bank hereby agrees to ratably purchase and assume, without recourse, from each
Selling Bank, a ratable portion of each Selling Bank's Letter of Credit Usage
such that, after giving effect to such assignments, each Bank's share of all
Outstanding Obligations (except Competitive Loans) equals its revised Pro Rata
Share.  The Agent shall distribute to each Selling Bank an amount equal to the
difference between its Committed Loans so prepaid and the new Committed Loans
deemed to have been made by it.  Such payments shall be deemed to be a payment
of the Committed Loans by Borrower on the date such payment is received.  The
Selling Bank acknowledges and agrees to the matters set forth in Section
10.8(c) as to the Letter of Credit Usage it has acquired.  Interest and fees
accruing on the Letter of Credit Usage for the period prior to the Increase
Date shall be for the account of each Selling Bank, and interest and fees
accruing on the Letter of Credit Usage for the period from and after the
Increase Date shall be for the account of each Buying Bank.

             (g)    If the commitments of the Banks and Third Parties to the
Proposed Combined Commitments Increase are less than the Proposed Combined
Commitments Increase, the combined Commitments shall not be increased;
provided, however, that, unless the combined Proposed Increased Commitments and
Proposed New Commitments is zero, Borrower may within the same calendar year
again propose to increase the combined Commitments pursuant to the terms of
this Section 2.7.

             2.8    Principal and Interest.

             (a)    If not sooner paid, Borrower shall pay, and promises to
pay, the outstanding principal amount of each Committed Loan in the currency of
such Committed Loan on the Maturity Date.

             (b)    Subject to subsection (c), Borrower shall pay interest on
the unpaid principal amount of the Loans (before and after default, before and
after maturity, before and after judgment, and before and after the
commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law) in the currency of
such Loan from the date borrowed until paid in full (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) on each Interest Payment Date for each type of Loan at a rate per
annum equal to the applicable interest rate determined in accordance with the
definition thereof, plus, if applicable, the Applicable Amount.

             (c)    If any amount payable by Borrower under any Loan Document
is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), it shall
thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times
equal to the Default Rate.  Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts
(including, without limitation, interest on past due interest) shall be
compounded monthly, on the last day of each calendar month, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Laws and payable upon demand.

<PAGE>   41
             2.9    Fees.

             (a)    Facility Fee.  Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the
ratable accounts of the Banks pro rata according to their Pro Rata Share, a
facility fee equal to the Applicable Amount times the combined Commitments,
regardless of usage.  The facility fee shall accrue from the Closing Date until
the Maturity Date and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly
Payment Date and on the Maturity Date.  The facility fee shall be calculated
quarterly in arrears; if there is any change in the Applicable Amount during
any quarter, the average daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the
Applicable Amount separately for each period that such Applicable Amount was in
effect during such quarter.

             (b)    Agency Fees.  Borrower shall pay to the Agent an agency fee
in such amounts and at such times as heretofore agreed upon by letter agreement
dated August 22, 1997 between Borrower and the Agent.  The agency fee is for
the services to be performed by the Agent in acting as Agent and is fully
earned on the date paid.  The agency fee paid to the Agent is solely for its
own account and is nonrefundable.

             2.10   Computation of Interest and Fees.  Computation of interest
on Base Rate Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366
days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed; computation of
interest on all other types of Loans and all fees under this Agreement shall be
calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days
elapsed, which results in a higher yield to the Banks than a method based on a
year of 365 or 366 days.  Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on
which the Loan is made; interest shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion
thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid.  Any Loan that
is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, interest in excess
of the maximum amount permitted by applicable Laws shall not accrue or be
payable hereunder, and any amount paid as interest hereunder which would
otherwise be in excess of such maximum permitted amount shall instead be
treated as a payment of principal.

             2.11   Manner and Treatment of Payments among the Banks, Borrower
and the Agent.

             (a)    Unless otherwise provided herein, all payments by Borrower
or any Bank hereunder shall be made to the Agent at the Agent's Office not
later than the Requisite Time for such type of payment without condition or
deduction for, any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  All payments
received after such Requisite Time shall be deemed received on the next
succeeding Business Day.  All payments shall be made in immediately available
funds in lawful money of the United States of America.

             (b)    Upon satisfaction of any applicable terms and conditions
set forth herein, the Agent shall promptly make any amounts received in
accordance with the prior subsection available in like funds received as
follows: (i) if payable to Borrower, by crediting the Designated Deposit
Account, and (ii) if payable to any Bank, by wire transfer to such Bank at the
address specified in Schedule 10.6. The Agent's determination, or any Bank's
determination not contradictory thereto, of any amount payable hereunder shall
be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.





                                      -36-
<PAGE>   42
             (c)    Subject to the definition of "Interest Period," if any
payment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business
Day, payment shall instead be considered due on the next succeeding Business
Day and the extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest and
fees.

             (d)    Unless Borrower or any Bank has notified the Agent prior to
the date any payment to be made by it is due, that it does not intend to remit
such payment, the Agent may, in its discretion, assume that Borrower or the
Bank, as the case may be, has timely remitted such payment and may, in its
discretion and in reliance thereon, make available such payment to the Person
entitled thereto.  If such payment was not in fact remitted to the Agent, then:

                      (i)         if Borrower failed to make such payment, each
            Bank shall forthwith on demand repay to the Agent the amount of
            such assumed payment made available to such Bank, together with
            interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date
            such amount was made available by the Agent to such Bank to the
            date such amount is repaid to the Agent at the Federal Funds Rate
            or, in the case of a payment in an Approved Offshore Currency, the
            Offshore Currency Overnight Rate; and

                      (ii) if any Bank failed to make such payment, such Bank
            shall on the Business Day following such Borrowing Date pay to the
            Agent the amount of such assumed payment made available to
            Borrower, together with interest thereon in respect of each day
            from and including the date such amount was made available by the
            Agent to Borrower to the date such amount is paid to the Agent at
            the Federal Funds Rate or, in the case of a payment in an Approved
            Offshore Currency, the Offshore Currency Overnight Rate.  Nothing
            herein shall be deemed to relieve any Bank from its obligation to
            fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Agent
            or Borrower may have against any Bank as a result of any default by
            such Bank hereunder.

             2.12   Funding Sources.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed
to obligate any Bank to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place
or manner or to constitute a representation by any Bank that it has obtained or
will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

             2.13   Extension of Maturity Date.  (a) At the request of Borrower
and with the written consent of all of the Banks (which may be given or
withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of each Bank) pursuant to this
Section the Maturity Date may be extended for one-year periods, provided no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such
request.  Not earlier than three months prior to, nor later than 30 days prior
to, each anniversary of the Closing Date, Borrower may request by Requisite
Notice made to the Agent (who shall promptly notify the Banks) a one year
extension of the Maturity Date.  Such request shall include a certificate
signed by a Responsible Officer stating that (i) the representations and
warranties contained in Section 5 shall be true and correct on and as of the
date of such certificate and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing.  Each Bank shall, within 20 Business days of the Agent
delivering such notice to such Bank, notify in writing the Agent whether it
consents to or declines such request.





                                      -37-
<PAGE>   43
             (b)    The Agent shall, after receiving the notifications from all
of the Banks or the expiration of such period, whichever is earlier, notify
Borrower and the Banks of the results thereof.  If all of the Banks have
consented, then the Maturity Date shall be extended for one year.

                                   SECTION 3
                     TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

             3.1    Taxes.  Each payment of any amount payable by Borrower
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear
of, and without reduction by reason of, any Applicable Taxes.  To the extent
that Borrower is obligated by applicable Laws to make any deduction or
withholding on account of Applicable Taxes from any amount payable to any Bank
or the Issuing Bank under this Agreement, Borrower shall promptly notify the
Agent of such fact and shall (a) make such deduction or withholding and pay the
same to the relevant Governmental Authority and (b) pay such additional amount
directly to that Bank or the Issuing Bank as is necessary to result in that
Bank or the Issuing Bank receiving a net after-Applicable Tax amount equal to
the amount to which that Bank or the Issuing Bank would have been entitled
under this Agreement absent such deduction or withholding.  Within 30 days
after the date of any payment by Borrower of any amounts pursuant to this
section, Borrower shall furnish to the Agent the original or a certified copy
of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment
satisfactory to the Agent.

             3.2    Increased Costs.  If any Bank or the Issuing Bank
determines that any Laws or guidelines (whether or not having the force of
law), or compliance therewith, have the effect of increasing its cost of
agreeing to make or making, to issue or participating in, funding or
maintaining any Loans or Letters of Credit, then Borrower shall, upon demand by
such Bank or the Issuing Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to
the Agent for the account of such Bank or the Issuing Bank additional amounts
sufficient to compensate such Bank or the Issuing Bank for such increased cost.

             3.3    Capital Adequacy.  If any Bank or the Issuing Bank
determines that any Laws regarding capital adequacy, or compliance by such Bank
or the Issuing Bank (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling the
Bank or the Issuing Bank, with any request, guideline or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental
Authority not imposed as a result of the Issuing Bank's, such Bank's or such
corporation's failure to comply with any other Laws, affects or would affect
the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Bank, the
Issuing Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank or the Issuing Bank and
(taking into consideration such Bank's or such corporation's policies with
respect to capital adequacy and such Bank's and the Issuing Bank's desired
return on capital) determines in good faith that the amount of such capital is
increased, or the rate of return on capital is reduced, as a consequence of its
obligations under this Agreement, then upon demand of such Bank or the Issuing
Bank (with a copy to the Agent), Borrower shall pay to such Bank or the Issuing
Bank, from time to time as specified in good faith by such Bank or the Issuing
Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank or the Issuing Bank
in light of such circumstances, to the extent reasonably allocable to such
obligations under this Agreement.





                                      -38-
<PAGE>   44
             3.4    Illegality.  If any Bank determines that any Laws has made
it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is
unlawful, for any Bank or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or
fund Offshore Rate Loans, or materially restricts the authority of such Bank to
purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the Offshore Rate
Designated Market, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the
Offshore Rate, then, on notice thereof by the Bank to Borrower through the
Agent, any obligation of that Bank to make Offshore Rate Loans shall be
suspended until the Bank notifies the Agent and Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such
notice, Borrower shall, upon demand from such Bank (with a copy to the Agent),
prepay or Convert all Offshore Rate Loans of that Bank, either on the last day
of the Interest Period thereof, if the Bank may lawfully continue to maintain
such Offshore Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Bank may not
lawfully continue to maintain such Offshore Rate Loan.  Each Bank agrees to
designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need
for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Bank,
otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Bank.

             3.5    Inability to Determine Rates.  If, in connection with any
Request for Extension of Credit, the Agent determines that (a) deposits in the
relevant currency are not being offered to Banks in the London interbank market
for the applicable amount and Interest Period of the requested Loan, (b)
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the underlying
interest rate (other than the Base Rate) for the Loans requested therein, or
(c) such underlying interest rates do not adequately and fairly reflect the
cost to the Banks of funding such Loan, the Agent will promptly so notify
Borrower and each Bank.  Thereafter, the obligation of the Banks to make or
maintain Loans based upon such affected interest rate or such currency shall be
suspended until the Agent revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice,
Borrower may revoke any pending Request for Extension of Credit for such type
of Loan or, failing that, be deemed to have converted such Request for
Extension of Credit into a request for Base Rate Loans in the amount specified
therein.

             3.6    Breakfunding Costs.  Upon Continuation, Conversion, payment
or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the
last day in the applicable Interest Period (whether voluntary, mandatory,
automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise and including any such
action required under this Section 3), or upon the failure of Borrower (for a
reason other than the failure of a Bank to make a Loan) to borrow, Continue or
Convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount
specified in any Request for Extension of Credit, then Borrower shall, upon
demand made by any Bank (with a copy to the Agent), reimburse each Bank and
hold each Bank harmless from any loss or expense which the Bank may sustain or
incur as a consequence thereof, including any such loss or expense arising from
the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan
or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were
obtained.

             3.7    Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.

             (a)    The Agent and any Bank shall provide reasonable detail to
Borrower regarding the manner in which the amount of any payment to the Agent
or that Bank under this Section 3 has been determined, concurrently with demand
for such payment.  The Agent's or any Bank's





                                      -39-
<PAGE>   45
determination of any amount payable under this Section 3 shall be conclusive in
the absence of manifest error.

             (b)    For purposes of calculating amounts payable under this
Section 3 any Loan shall be deemed to have been funded at the applicable
interest rate set forth in the definition thereof whether or not such Loan was,
in fact, so funded.

             (c)    All of Borrower's obligations under this Section 3 shall
survive termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Outstanding
Obligations.

                                   SECTION 4

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

             Borrower represents and warrants to the Agent and the Banks that:

             5.1    Due Incorporation, Etc.  Each of Borrower and the Material
Subsidiaries are corporations duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of their organization and have all
requisite corporate power and authority to own or lease and operate their
respective properties and to carry on their businesses as now conducted, and to
execute and deliver, and to perform all of their obligations under, any Loan
Document to which they are a party, and the transactions and documents
contemplated hereby to which they are a party.  Each of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries are duly qualified or licensed to do business as foreign
corporations in good standing in all jurisdictions in which they own or lease
assets and property or in which the conduct of their businesses requires them
to so qualify or be licensed, except where the failure to so qualify or be
licensed would not have a Material Adverse Effect.  Each Subsidiary of Borrower
on the date hereof is set forth on Schedule 5.1.

             5.2    Authorization of Borrowing, Etc.

             (a)    Authorization of Borrowing, No Conflict.  The execution,
delivery and performance by Borrower and each Material Subsidiary of Borrower
that is a party to a Loan Document of the Loan Documents, the payment and
performance of all Obligations, and the issuance, delivery and payment of the
Letters of Credit and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
are within each such entity's corporate powers, have been duly authorized by
all necessary corporate action by Borrower and each Material Subsidiary of
Borrower which is a party to a Loan Document, do not contravene (i) Borrower's
and such Material Subsidiary's certificate of incorporation or by-laws, or (ii)
any law, rule, regulation (including, without limitation, Regulation G, U or X
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), order, writ,
judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award or any contractual
restriction binding on or affecting Borrower or such Material Subsidiary or any
of its properties, and do not result in or require the creation of any lien,
security interest or other





                                      -42-
<PAGE>   48
charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of its properties; neither
Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under any such law, rule,
regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination, award or
restriction, in any respect which is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

             (b)    Governmental Consents.  No authorization, consent, approval

Loan Document for the due execution, delivery or performance by Borrower or any
of its Material Subsidiaries of any Loan Document, the payment and performance
of the Obligations by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and the issuance,
delivery and payment of the Letters of Credit and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, except such authorizations, consents,
approvals, other actions, notices or filings which, if not obtained, either (i)

balance sheet of Borrower and its Subsidiaries dated September 30, 1997 and the
related combined statements of income and cash flows, copies of which have been
furnished to each Bank, were prepared in conformity with GAAP.  All financial
statements delivered to Banks pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof after the Closing

of the periods covered thereby, subject, in the case of any unaudited interim
financial statements, to changes resulting from normal year-end adjustments.

or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, (a) that would have a Material Adverse
Effect, or (b) which purports to affect the legality, validity or
enforceability of this Agreement and any other Loan Document.

regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, the Federal
Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940,

any regulation that would limit the ability of Borrower to enter into or
perform its obligations under this Agreement.

             5.7    Not a Purpose Credit.  Borrower and its Subsidiaries are

the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other federal or state law. 
Each Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has
received a favorable determination letter from the IRS or an application for
such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto and,

made all required contributions to any Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code,
and no application for a funding waiver or an extension of any amortization
period pursuant to Section 412 of the Code has been made with respect to any
Plan.

             (b)      There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of

4243 of ERISA with respect to a





                                      -44-
<PAGE>   50
Multiemployer Plan; and (v) neither Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has
engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of
ERISA.

             5.9    Disclosure.  No representation or warranty of Borrower or
any Subsidiary of Borrower contained in any Loan Document (including any
Schedule furnished in connection herewith) or any other document, certificate
or written statement furnished to the Agent or any Bank by or on behalf of
Borrower for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact (known to Borrower in the case of any documents not furnished by
it) necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not
misleading in light of the circumstances under which the same were made.  The
projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials are
based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by the Persons
responsible for preparing such projections and pro forma financial information
to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Banks that such
projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual
results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ
from the projected results.  There are no facts known to Borrower (other than
matters of a general economic nature) that have had or could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that have not been disclosed herein
or in the other documents, certificates and written statements referred to in
this Section 5.9.

             5.10   Insurance.  Borrower and its Subsidiaries have in full
force insurance coverage of their respective properties, assets and business
(including casualty, general liability, products liability and business
interruption insurance) that is (a) no less protective in any material respect
than the insurance Borrower and its Subsidiaries have carried in accordance
with their past practices or (b) prudent given the nature of the business of
Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the prevailing practice among companies
similarly situated.

             5.11   Environmental Matters.  (a) Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries is in compliance in all material respects with all Environmental
Laws the non-compliance with which can reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect and (b) there has been no "release or threatened
release of a hazardous substance" (as defined by the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42
U.S.C. Section  9601 et seq.) or any other release, emission or discharge into
the environment of any hazardous or toxic substance, pollutant or other
materials from Borrower's or its Subsidiaries' property other than as permitted
under applicable Environmental Law and other than those which would not have a
Material Adverse Effect.  Other than disposals for which Borrower has been
indemnified in full or disposals prior to the Closing Date which would not have
a Material Adverse Effect, all "hazardous waste" (as defined by the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq. (1976) and the
regulations thereunder, 40 CFR Part 261 ("RCRA")) generated at Borrower's or
any Subsidiaries' properties and removed for disposal have in the past been and
shall continue to be disposed of at sites which maintain valid permits under
RCRA and any applicable state or local Environmental Law.

             5.12   Performance of Agreements.  Neither Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any
of the obligations, covenants, or conditions contained in any contractual
obligation of Borrower or of such Subsidiary, except where the consequences,
direct or indirect, of such default or defaults, if any, has not had and





                                      -45-
<PAGE>   51
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and no
condition exists that, with the giving of due notice or the lapse of time or
both, would constitute such a default, except where the consequences, direct or
indirect, of such default, if any, has not had and could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

             5.13  Solvency.  After giving effect to the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents and the payment of all fees related thereto
and hereto, as of the Closing Date Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis are Solvent and each of the Material Subsidiaries is
Solvent.

recognized independent public accountants acceptable to the Requisite Banks.

             (h)    ERISA.   An ERISA Event shall occur with respect to a
Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan which has resulted or could reasonably be
expected to result in liability of Borrower under Title IV of ERISA to the
Pension Plan, Multiemployer Plan or the PBGC in an aggregate amount in excess
of the Threshold Amount; (ii) the aggregate amount of Unfunded Pension
Liability among all Pension Plans at any time exceeds the Threshold Amount; or
(iii) Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate shall fail to pay when due, after the
expiration of any applicable grace period, any installment payment with respect
to its withdrawal liability under Section 4201 of ERISA under a Multiemployer
Plan in an aggregate amount in excess of $10,000,000; or

             (i)    Change of Control.  A Change of Control shall have
occurred.

             8.2    Remedies Upon Event of Default.  Without limiting any other
rights or remedies of the Agent or the Banks provided for elsewhere in this
Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, or by applicable Laws, or in equity, or
otherwise:

             (a)    Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any
Event of Default other than an Event of Default described in Section 8.1(e):

                 (1)              the Commitments and all other obligations of
         the Agent or the Banks and all rights of Borrower and any Material
         Subsidiaries under the Loan Documents shall be suspended without
         notice to or demand upon Borrower, which are expressly waived by
         Borrower, except that all of the Banks or the Requisite Banks, as
         required hereunder, may waive an Event of Default or, without waiving,
         determine, upon terms and conditions satisfactory to the Banks or
         Requisite Banks, as the case may be, to reinstate the Commitments and
         make further Extensions of Credit, which waiver or determination shall
         apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the Banks;

                 (2)              the Issuing Bank may, with the approval of
         the Agent on behalf of the Requisite Banks, demand immediate payment
         by Borrower of an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all
         outstanding Letters of Credit to be held by the Issuing Bank in an
         interest-bearing cash collateral account as collateral hereunder; and





                                      -60-
<PAGE>   66
                 (3)              the Requisite Banks may request the Agent to,
         and the Agent thereupon shall, terminate the Commitments and/or
         declare all or any part of the unpaid principal of all Loans, all
         interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable
         under the Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon
         the same shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without
         protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of
         any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower.

             (b)    Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in
Section 8.1(e):

                 (1)              the Commitments and all other obligations of
         the Agent or the Banks and all rights of Borrower and any Material
         Subsidiary under the Loan Documents shall terminate without notice to
         or demand upon Borrower, which are expressly waived by Borrower,
         except that all the Banks may waive the Event of Default or, without
         waiving, determine, upon terms and conditions satisfactory to all the
         Banks, to reinstate the Commitments and make further Extensions of
         Credit, which determination shall apply equally to, and shall be
         binding upon, all the Banks;

                 (2)              an amount equal to the aggregate amount of
         all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be immediately due and payable
         to the Issuing Bank without notice to or demand upon Borrower, which
         are expressly waived by Borrower, to be held by the Issuing Bank in an
         interest-bearing cash collateral account as collateral hereunder; and

                 (3)              the unpaid principal of all Loans, all
         interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable
         under the Loan Documents shall be forthwith due and payable, without
         protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of
         any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower.

             (c)    Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Banks and
the Agent, or any of them, without notice to (except as expressly provided for
in any Loan Document) or demand upon Borrower, which are expressly waived by
Borrower (except as to notices expressly provided for in any Loan Document),
may proceed (but only with the consent of the Requisite Banks) to protect,
exercise and enforce their rights and remedies under the Loan Documents against
Borrower and any Material Subsidiary and such other rights and remedies as are
provided by Laws or equity.

             (d)    The order and manner in which the Banks' rights and
remedies are to be exercised shall be determined by the Requisite Banks in
their sole discretion, and all payments received by the Agent and the Banks, or
any of them, shall be applied first to Attorney Costs incurred by the Agent or
any Bank, and thereafter paid pro rata to the Banks in the same proportions
that the aggregate Obligations owed to each Bank under the Loan Documents bear
to the aggregate Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to all the Banks,
without priority or preference among the Banks.  Regardless of how each Bank
may treat payments for the purpose of its own accounting, for the purpose of
computing Borrower's Obligations hereunder, payments shall be applied first, to
the costs and expenses of the Agent and the Banks, as set forth above, second,
to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest due under any Loan Documents to
and including the date of such application (ratably, and without duplication,





                                      -61-
<PAGE>   67
according to the accrued and unpaid interest due under each of the Loan
Documents), and third, to the payment of all other amounts (including principal
and fees) then owing to the Agent or the Banks under the Loan Documents.  No
application of payments will cure any Event of Default, or prevent
acceleration, or continued acceleration, of amounts payable under the Loan
Documents, or prevent the exercise, or continued exercise, of rights or
remedies of the Banks hereunder or thereunder or at Laws or in equity.

                                   SECTION 9
                                   THE AGENT

             9.1  Appointment and Authorization; "Agent".  (a) Each Bank hereby
irrevocably (subject to Section 9.9) appoints, designates and authorizes the
Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement
and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such
duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in
this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Agent shall not have any
duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall
the Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank,
and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
otherwise exist against the Agent.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing sentence, the use of the term "agent" in this Agreement with
reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other
implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any
applicable law.  Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market
custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative
relationship between independent contracting parties.

             (b)    The Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Banks with
respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated
therewith until such time and except for so long as the Agent may agree at the
request of the Requisite Banks to act for such Issuing Bank with respect
thereto; provided, however, that the Issuing Bank shall have all of the
benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Agent in this Section 9 with
respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing Bank in
connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it
and the application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the
Letters of Credit as fully as if the term "Agent", as used in this Section 9,
included the Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as
additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to the Issuing Bank.

             9.2  Delegation of Duties.  The Agent may execute any of its
duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents,
employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel
concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  The Agent shall not be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact
that it selects with reasonable care.

             9.3  Liability of Agent.  None of the Agent-Related Persons shall
(a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the
transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Banks
for





                                      -62-
<PAGE>   68
any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate of Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report,
statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the
Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of Borrower or
any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or
thereunder.  No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Bank
to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the
agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower or any of
Borrower's Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

             9.4  Reliance by Agent.  (a) The Agent shall be entitled to rely,
and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice,
consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or
telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it
to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper
Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including
counsel to Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of the Requisite Banks as it deems
appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may
be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining
from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with
a request or consent of the Requisite Banks or all Banks, if required
hereunder, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant
thereto shall be binding upon all of the Banks.

             (b)    For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions
specified in Section 4.1, each Bank that has executed this Agreement shall be
deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each
document or other matter either sent by the Agent to such Bank for consent,
approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to
or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to the Bank.

             9.5  Notice of Default.  The Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default,
except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees
required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Banks, unless the Agent
shall have received written notice from a Bank or Borrower referring to this
Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such
notice is a "notice of default".  The Agent will notify the Banks of its
receipt of any such notice.  The Agent shall take such action with respect to
such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Requisite Banks in
accordance with Section 8; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent
has received any such request, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to)
take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest
of the Banks.





                                      -63-
<PAGE>   69
             9.6  Credit Decision.  Each Bank acknowledges that none of the
Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that
no act by the Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of
Borrower and its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation
or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Bank.  Each Bank represents to
the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any
Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the
business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank
regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its
own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower
hereunder.  Each Bank also represents that it will, independently and without
reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as
it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations,
property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower.
Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be
furnished to the Banks by the Agent, the Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information
concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other
condition or creditworthiness of Borrower which may come into the possession of
any of the Agent-Related Persons.

             9.7  Indemnification of Agent.  Whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby are consummated, the Banks shall indemnify upon demand the
Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower
and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), pro rata, from and
against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however, that no Bank
shall be liable for the payment to the Agent-Related Persons of any portion of
such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person's gross
negligence or willful misconduct.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each
Bank shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs
or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent in
connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal
proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any
document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent is
not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower.  The undertaking
in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the
resignation or replacement of the Agent.

             9.8  Agent in Individual Capacity.  BofA and its Affiliates may
make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits
from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking,
trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with Borrower and its
Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though BofA were not the Agent or the Issuing
Bank hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Banks.  The Banks
acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, BofA or its Affiliates may
receive information regarding Borrower or its Affiliates (including information
that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such
Subsidiary) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to
provide such information to them.  With respect to its Loans, BofA shall have
the same rights





                                      -64-
<PAGE>   70
and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise the same as
though it were not the Agent or the Issuing Bank.

             9.9  Successor Agent.  The Agent may, and at the request of the
Requisite Banks shall, resign as Agent upon 30 days' notice to the Banks.  If
the Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Requisite Banks shall appoint from
among the Banks a successor Agent for the Banks which successor agent shall be
approved by Borrower.  If no successor agent is appointed prior to the
effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint, after
consulting with the Banks and Borrower, a successor agent from among the Banks.
Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such
successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the
retiring Agent and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent and the
retiring Agent's appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated.
After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of
this Section 9 and Sections 10.3 and 10.11 shall inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this
Agreement.  If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date
which is 30 days following a retiring Agent's notice of resignation, the
retiring Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and
the Banks shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such
time, if any, as the Requisite Banks appoint a successor agent as provided for
above.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, BofA may not be removed as the
Agent at the request of the Requisite Banks unless BofA shall also
simultaneously be replaced as "Issuing Bank" hereunder pursuant to
documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to BofA.

                                   SECTION 10
                                 MISCELLANEOUS

             10.1   Cumulative Remedies; No Waiver.  The rights, powers,
privileges and remedies of the Agent and the Banks provided herein or other
Loan Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any right, power, privilege
or remedy provided by Laws or equity.  No failure or delay on the part of the
Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy may be,
or may be deemed to be, a waiver thereof; nor may any single or partial
exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy preclude any other or further
exercise of the same or any other right, power, privilege or remedy.  The terms
and conditions of Section 9 are inserted for the sole benefit of the Agent and
the Banks; the same may be waived in whole or in part, with or without terms or
conditions, in respect of any Loan or Letter of Credit without prejudicing the
Agent's or the Banks' rights to assert them in whole or in part in respect of
any other Loan.

             10.2   Amendments; Consents.  No amendment, modification,
supplement, extension, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, no approval or consent thereunder, and no consent
to any departure by Borrower therefrom, may in any event be effective unless in
writing signed by the Requisite Banks (and, in the case of any amendment,
modification or supplement of or to any Loan Document to which Borrower is a
party, signed by Borrower and, in the case of any amendment, modification or
supplement to Section 9, signed by the Agent), and then only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose given; and, without the approval in
writing of all Banks affected thereby, no amendment, modification, supplement,
termination, waiver or consent may be effective:





                                      -65-
<PAGE>   71
             (a)    To reduce the principal of, or the amount of principal,
principal prepayments or the rate of interest payable on, any Loan, or the
amount of the Commitment or the Pro Rata Share of any Bank or the amount of any
facility fee payable to any Bank, or any other fee or amount payable to any
Bank under the Loan Documents or to waive an Event of Default consisting of the
failure of Borrower to pay when due principal, interest or any facility fee;

             (b)    To postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of,
prepayment of principal of or any installment of interest on, any Loan or any
installment of any facility fee, or to extend the term of the Commitments or
increase the Commitments, or to release any Material Subsidiary from the
Material Subsidiary Guaranty;

             (c)    To amend the provisions of the definition of "Requisite
Banks", Sections 4 or 9 or this Section; or

             (d)    To amend any provision of this Agreement that expressly
requires the consent or approval of all the Banks.

             Any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or 
consent pursuant to this Section shall apply equally to, and shall be binding
upon, all the Banks and the Agent.

             10.3   Attorney Costs, Expenses and Taxes.  Borrower shall pay
within five Business Days after demand, accompanied by an invoice therefor, the
reasonable costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with the negotiation,
preparation, syndication, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents (subject
to any limitations set forth in a letter agreement between Borrower and the
Arranger entered into prior to the Closing Date) and any amendment thereto or
waiver thereof.  Borrower shall also pay on demand, accompanied by an invoice
therefor, the reasonable costs and expenses of the Agent and the Banks in
connection with the reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization) and
enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Loan Documents, and any matter
related thereto.  The foregoing costs and expenses shall include filing fees,
recording fees, title insurance fees, appraisal fees, search fees, and other
out-of-pocket expenses and Attorney Costs incurred by the Agent or any Bank,
and independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the
Agent or any Bank, whether or not such costs and expenses are incurred or
suffered by the Agent or any Bank in connection with or during the course of
any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof.
Such costs and expenses shall also include the administrative costs of the
Agent reasonably attributable to the administration of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.  Borrower shall pay any and all Applicable Taxes and all
costs, expenses, fees and charges payable or determined to be payable in
connection with the filing or recording of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other instrument or writing to be delivered hereunder or
thereunder, or in connection with any transaction pursuant hereto or thereto,
and shall reimburse, hold harmless and indemnify the Agent and the Banks from
and against any and all loss, liability or legal or other expense with respect
to or resulting from any delay in paying or failure to pay any such tax, cost,
expense, fee or charge or that any of them may suffer or incur by reason of the
failure of Borrower to perform any of its Obligations.

             10.4   Nature of Banks' Obligations.  The obligations of the Banks
hereunder are several and not joint or joint and several.  Nothing contained in
this Agreement or any other





                                      -66-
<PAGE>   72
Loan Document and no action taken by the Agent or the Banks or any of them
pursuant hereto or thereto may, or may be deemed to, make the Banks a
partnership, an association, a joint venture or other entity, either among
themselves or with Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower.  Each Bank's
obligation to make any Loan pursuant hereto is several and not joint or joint
and several, and in the case of the initial Loan only is conditioned upon the
performance by all other Banks of their obligations to make initial Loans.  A
default by any Bank will not increase the Pro Rata Share attributable to any
other Bank.  Any Bank not in default may, if it desires, assume in such
proportion as the nondefaulting Banks agree the obligations of any Bank in
default, but is not obligated to do so.

             10.5   Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All
representations and warranties contained herein or in any other Loan Document,
or in any certificate or other writing delivered by or on behalf of Borrower or
any Material Subsidiary will survive the making of the Loans hereunder and the
execution and delivery of any Notes, and have been or will be relied upon by
the Agent and each Bank, notwithstanding any investigation made by the Agent or
any Bank or on their behalf.

             10.6   Notices.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in the
Loan Documents, all notices, requests, demands, directions and other
communications provided for therein shall be given by Requisite Notice and
shall be effective as follows:

      provided, however, that notice to the Agent pursuant to Section 2 or 9
shall not be effective until actually received by the Agent.  The Agent and any
Bank shall be entitled to rely and act on any notice purportedly given by or on
behalf of Borrower even if such notice (a) was not made in a manner specified
herein, (b) was incomplete, (c) was not preceded or followed by any other
notice specified herein, or (d) the terms of such notice as understood by the
recipient varied from any subsequent related notice provided for herein.
Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and any Bank from any loss, cost, expense or
liability as a result of relying on any notice permitted herein.

        10.7     Execution of Loan Documents.  Unless the Agent otherwise
specifies with respect to any Loan Document, (a) this Agreement and any other
Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and any party
hereto or thereto may execute any





                                      -67-
<PAGE>   73
counterpart, each of which when executed and delivered will be deemed to be an
original and all of which counterparts of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, as the case may be, when taken together will be deemed to be but one
and the same instrument and (b) execution of any such counterpart may be
evidenced by a telecopier transmission of the signature of such party.  The
execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party hereto or
thereto will not become effective until counterparts hereof or thereof, as the
case may be, have been executed by all the parties hereto or thereto.

        10.8     Binding Effect; Assignment.

        (a)      This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower
is a party will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, the
Agent, each of the Banks, and their respective successors and assigns, except
that, Borrower may not assign their rights hereunder or thereunder or any
interest herein or therein without the prior written consent of all the Banks.
Each Bank represents that it is not acquiring its Loans with a view to the
distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (subject to any requirement that disposition of such Loans must be
within the control of such Bank).  Any Bank may at any time pledge its Note or
any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Bank under this Agreement to a
Federal Reserve Bank, but no such pledge shall release that Bank from its
obligations hereunder or grant to such Federal Reserve Bank the rights of a
Bank hereunder absent foreclosure of such pledge.

        (b)      From time to time following the Closing Date, each Bank may
assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of its Pro Rata
Share; provided that (i) such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a
varying, percentage of all of the assigning Bank's rights and obligations under
this Agreement (other than any right to make Competitive Loans or Competitive
Loans owing to it), (ii), if not to a Bank or an Affiliate of the assigning
Bank, shall be consented to by Borrower at all times other than during the
existence of an Event of Default and the Agent (which approval of Borrower
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (iii) a copy of a Notice of
Assignment and Acceptance shall be delivered to the Agent, (iv) except in the
case of an assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning Bank, to another Bank or
of the entire remaining Commitment of the assigning Bank, the assignment shall
not assign a Pro Rata Share equivalent to less than the Minimum Amount
therefor, and (v) the effective date of any such assignment shall be as
specified in the Notice of Assignment and Acceptance, but not earlier than the
date which is five Business Days after the date the Agent has received the
Notice of Assignment and Acceptance.  Upon acceptance by the Agent of such
Notice Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee named therein shall be
a Bank for all purposes of this Agreement, with the Pro Rata Share therein set
forth and, to the extent of such Pro Rata Share, the assigning Bank shall be
released from its further obligations under this Agreement.  Borrower agrees
that it shall execute and deliver upon request (against delivery by the
assigning Bank to Borrower of any Note) to such assignee Bank, one or more
Notes evidencing that assignee Bank's Pro Rata Share, and to the assigning Bank
if requested, one or more Notes evidencing the remaining balance Pro Rata Share
retained by the assigning Bank.

        (c)      By executing and delivering a Notice of Assignment and
Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee thereunder acknowledges and agrees that: (i)
other than the representation and warranty that it is the legal and beneficial
owner of the Pro Rata Share being assigned thereby





                                      -68-
<PAGE>   74
free and clear of any adverse claim, the assigning Bank has made 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 or
sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) the assigning
Bank has made no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with
respect to the financial condition of Borrower or the performance by Borrower
of the Obligations; (iii) it has received a copy of this Agreement, together
with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to
Section 6.1 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; (iv) it will, independently and without reliance
upon the Agent or any Bank 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; (v) it appoints and
authorizes the Agent to take such action and to exercise such powers under this
Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by this Agreement; and (vi) it will
perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the
terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Bank.

        (d)      After receipt of a completed Notice of Assignment and
Acceptance, and receipt of an assignment fee of $3,000 from such Eligible
Assignee, the Agent shall, promptly following the effective date thereof,
provide to Borrower and the Banks a revised Schedule 10.6 giving effect
thereto.

        (e)      Each Bank may from time to time grant participations to one or
more banks or other financial institutions (including another Bank) in a
portion of its Pro Rata Share; provided, however, that (i) such Bank's
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other financial institutions
shall not be a Bank hereunder for any purpose except, if the participation
agreement so provides, for the purposes of Section 3 (but only to the extent
that the cost of such benefits to Borrower does not exceed the cost which
Borrower would have incurred in respect of such Bank absent the participation)
and Section 10.9 (subject to Section 10.10), (iv) Borrower, the Agent and the
other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in
connection with such Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v)
the participation shall not restrict an increase in the Commitment or in the
granting Bank's Pro Rata Share, so long as the amount of the participation
interest is not affected thereby and (vi) the consent of the holder of such
participation interest shall not be required for amendments or waivers of
provisions of the Loan Documents other than those which (A) extend the Maturity
Date as to such participant or any other date upon which any payment of money
is due to such participant, (B) reduce the rate of interest owing to such
participant, any fee or any other monetary amount owing to such participant,
(C) reduce the amount of any installment of principal owing to such participant
or (D) release any guarantor.

        10.9     Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Agent or any Bank may exercise its rights under Section 9 of
the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable Laws and, to the extent
permitted by applicable Laws, apply any funds in any deposit account maintained
with it by Borrower and/or any property of Borrower in its possession against
the Obligations.





                                      -69-
<PAGE>   75
        10.10    Sharing of Setoffs.  Each Bank severally agrees that if it,
through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim
against Borrower, or otherwise, receives payment of the Obligations held by it
that is ratably more than any other Bank, through any means, receives in
payment of the Obligations held by that Bank, then, subject to applicable Laws:
(a) the Bank exercising the right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim or
otherwise receiving such payment shall purchase, and shall be deemed to have
simultaneously purchased, from the other Bank a participation in the
Obligations held by the other Bank and shall pay to the other Bank a purchase
price in an amount so that the share of the Obligations held by each Bank after
the exercise of the right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim or receipt
of payment shall be in the same proportion that existed prior to the exercise
of the right of setoff, banker's lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment;
and (b) such other adjustments and purchases of participations shall be made
from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that all of the Banks share
any payment obtained in respect of the Obligations ratably in accordance with
each Bank's share of the Obligations immediately prior to, and without taking
into account, the payment; provided that, if all or any portion of a
disproportionate payment obtained as a result of the exercise of the right of
setoff, banker's lien, counterclaim or otherwise is thereafter recovered from
the purchasing Bank by Borrower or any Person claiming through or succeeding to
the rights of Borrower, the purchase of a participation shall be rescinded and
the purchase price thereof shall be restored to the extent of the recovery, but
without interest.  Each Bank that purchases a participation in the Obligations
pursuant to this Section shall from and after the purchase have the right to
give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under
this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the
same extent as though the purchasing Bank were the original owner of the
Obligations purchased.  Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing
arrangements and agrees that any Bank holding a participation in an Obligation
so purchased may exercise any and all rights of setoff, banker's lien or
counterclaim with respect to the participation as fully as if the Bank were the
original owner of the Obligation purchased.

        10.11    Indemnity by Borrower.  Borrower agrees to indemnify, save and
hold harmless the Agent and each Bank and their respective Affiliates,
directors, officers, agents, attorneys and employees (collectively the
"Indemnitees") from and against: (a) any and all claims, demands, actions or
causes of action (except a claim, demand, action, or cause of action for Bank
Taxes) if the claim, demand, action or cause of action arises out of or relates
to any act or omission (or alleged act or omission) of Borrower, its Affiliates
or any of their officers, directors or stockholders relating to the Commitment,
the use or contemplated use of proceeds of any Loan, or the relationship of
Borrower and the Banks under this Agreement; (b) any administrative or
investigative proceeding by any Governmental Authority arising out of or
related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in subsection
(a) above; and (c) any and all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses
(including Attorney Costs) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of
the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action or cause of action;
provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any loss
caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or for any loss
asserted against it by another Indemnitee.

        10.12    Nonliability of the Banks.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees
that:





                                      -70-
<PAGE>   76
        (a)      Any inspections of any property of Borrower made by or through
the Agent or the Banks are for purposes of administration of the Loan only and
Borrower is not entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections
are at the expense of Borrower);

        (b)      By accepting or approving anything required to be observed,
performed, fulfilled or given to the Agent or the Banks pursuant to the Loan
Documents, neither the Agent nor the Banks shall be deemed to have warranted or
represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the
same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or
approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone
with respect thereto by the Agent or the Banks;

        (c)      The relationship between Borrower and the Agent and the Banks
is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of Borrower and lenders; neither
the Agent nor the Banks shall under any circumstance be construed to be
partners or joint venturers of Borrower or their Affiliates; neither the Agent
nor the Banks shall under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of
confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with Borrower or their
Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to Borrower or their Affiliates;
neither the Agent nor the Banks undertake or assume any responsibility or duty
to Borrower or their Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass
judgment upon or inform Borrower or their Affiliates of any matter in
connection with their property or the operations of Borrower or their
Affiliates; Borrower and their Affiliates shall rely entirely upon their own
judgment with respect to such matters; and any review, inspection, supervision,
exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by the
Agent or the Banks in connection with such matters is solely for the protection
of the Agent and the Banks and neither Borrower nor any other Person is
entitled to rely thereon; and

        (d)      The Agent and the Banks shall not be responsible or liable to
any Person for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind relating to
injury or death to Persons or damage to property caused by the actions,
inaction or negligence of Borrower and/or its Affiliates and Borrower hereby
indemnify and hold the Agent and the Banks harmless from any such loss, damage,
liability or claim.

        10.13    No Third Parties Benefited.  This Agreement is made for the
purpose of defining and setting forth certain obligations, rights and duties of
Borrower, the Agent and the Banks in connection with the Loans, and is made for
the sole benefit of Borrower, the Agent and the Banks, and the Agent's and the
Banks' successors and assigns.  Except as provided in Sections 10.8 and 10.11,
no other Person shall have any rights of any nature hereunder or by reason
hereof.

        10.14    Confidentiality.  Each Bank agrees to hold any confidential
information that it may receive from Borrower pursuant to this Agreement in
confidence, except for disclosure: (a) to a Bank's Affiliates; (b) to other
Banks and their Affiliates; (c) to legal counsel and accountants for Borrower
or any Bank; (d) to other professional advisors to Borrower or any Bank,
provided that the recipient has accepted such information subject to a
confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Section; (e) to
regulatory officials having jurisdiction over that Bank; (f) as required by
Laws or legal process or in connection with any legal proceeding to which that
Bank and Borrower is adverse parties; and (g) to another financial





                                      -71-
<PAGE>   77
institution in connection with a disposition or proposed disposition to that
financial institution of all or part of that Bank's interests hereunder or a
participation interest in its Loans, provided that the recipient has agreed to
treat such information confidentially on a basis similar to the foregoing.  For
purposes of the foregoing, "confidential information" shall mean any
information respecting Borrower or its Subsidiaries reasonably considered by
Borrower to be confidential, other than (i) information previously filed with
any Governmental Authority and available to the public, (ii) information
previously published in any public medium from a source other than, directly or
indirectly, that Bank, and (iii) information previously disclosed by Borrower
to any Person not associated with Borrower without a confidentiality agreement
or obligation substantially similar to this Section.  Nothing in this Section
shall be construed to create or give rise to any fiduciary duty on the part of
the Agent or the Banks to Borrower.

        10.15    Further Assurances.  Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall, at
their expense and without expense to the Banks or the Agent, do, execute and
deliver such further acts and documents as any Bank or the Agent from time to
time reasonably requires for the assuring and confirming unto the Banks or the
Agent of the rights hereby created or intended now or hereafter so to be, or
for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of
any Loan Document.

        10.16    Integration.  This Agreement, together with the other Loan
Documents and any letter agreements referred to herein, comprises the complete
and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter hereof.
In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those
of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and
govern; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor
of the Agent or the Banks in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a
conflict with this Agreement.  Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint
participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither
against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair
meaning thereof.

        10.17    Failure to Charge Not Subsequent Waiver.  Any decision by the
Agent or any Bank not to require payment of any interest (including Default
Interest), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document, or to
calculate any amount payable by a particular method, on any occasion shall in
no way limit or be deemed a waiver of the Agent's or such Bank's right to
require full payment of any interest (including Default Interest), fee, cost or
other amount payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate an amount payable
by another method that is not inconsistent with this Agreement, on any other or
subsequent occasion.

        10.18    Governing Law.  Except to the extent otherwise provided
therein, each Loan Document shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in
accordance with, the local Laws of California.

        10.19    Severability of Provisions.  Any provision in any Loan
Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid as to any
party or in any jurisdiction shall, as to that party or jurisdiction, be
inoperative, unenforceable or invalid without affecting the remaining
provisions or the operation, enforceability or validity of that provision as to
any other





                                      -72-
<PAGE>   78
party or in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan
Documents are declared to be severable.

        10.20    Headings.  Section headings in this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents are included for convenience of reference only and are not part
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents for any other purpose.

        10.21    Time of the Essence.  Time is of the essence of the Loan
Documents.

        10.22    Foreign Banks and Participants.  Each Bank, and each holder of
a participation interest herein, that is a "foreign corporation, partnership or
trust" within the meaning of the Code shall deliver to the Agent, within 20
days after the Closing Date (or after accepting an assignment or receiving a
participation interest herein) two duly signed completed copies of either Form
1001 (relating to such Person and entitling it to a complete exemption from
withholding on all payments to be made to such Person by Borrower pursuant to
this Agreement) or Form 4224 (relating to all payments to be made to such
Person by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) of the United States Internal
Revenue Service or such other evidence (including, if reasonably necessary,
Form W-9) satisfactory to Borrower and the Agent that no withholding under the
federal income tax laws is required with respect to such Person.  Thereafter
and from time to time, each such Person shall (a) promptly submit to the Agent
such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such
successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United
States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United
States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to
Borrower and the Agent of any available exemption from, United States
withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Person by
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and (b) take such steps as shall not be
materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, and
as may be reasonably necessary (including the re- designation of its Lending
Office, if any) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that Borrower make
any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Person.  If
such Persons fails to deliver the above forms or other documentation, then the
Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Person an amount
equivalent to the applicable withholding tax imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442
of the Code, without reduction.  If any Governmental Authority asserts that the
Agent did not properly withhold any tax or other amount from payments made in
respect of such Person, such Person shall indemnify the Agent therefor,
including all penalties and interest and costs and expenses (including Attorney
Costs) of the Agent.  The obligation of the Banks under this subsection shall
survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of
the Agent.

        10.23    Removal of a Bank.  Under any circumstances set forth in this
Agreement providing that Borrower shall have the right to remove a Bank as a
party to this Agreement, such Bank shall, upon notice from Borrower, execute
and deliver a Notice of Assignment and Acceptance covering that Bank's Pro Rata
Share of the Commitments in favor of an Eligible Assignee acceptable to the
Agent as Borrower may designate, subject to (a) payment in full by such
Eligible Assignee of all principal, interest and fees owing to such Bank
through the date of assignment and (b) delivery by such Eligible Assignee of
such appropriate assurances and indemnities (which may include letters of
credit) as such Bank may reasonably require with respect to its participation
interest in any Letters of Credit then outstanding or any Swing Line





                                      -73-
<PAGE>   79
Outstandings.  Alternatively, Borrower may reduce the Commitments (and, for
this purpose, the Minimum Amounts for Commitment reductions shall not apply) by
an amount equal to that Bank's Pro Rata Share of the Commitments, pay and
provide to such Bank the amounts, assurances and indemnities described in (a)
and (b) above and release such Bank from its Pro Rata Share of the Commitments.

        10.24    WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.  EACH PARTY TO THIS
AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM,
DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY
CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTY HERETO OR
ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED
THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER
SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND
CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE
DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY
FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS
WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF
THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

        10.25    PURPORTED ORAL AMENDMENTS.  BORROWER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY ONLY BE AMENDED OR
MODIFIED, OR THE PROVISIONS HEREOF OR THEREOF WAIVED OR SUPPLEMENTED, BY AN
INSTRUMENT IN WRITING THAT COMPLIES WITH SECTION 10.2. BORROWER AGREES THAT IT
WILL NOT RELY ON ANY COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR ORAL OR
WRITTEN STATEMENTS BY ANY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE AGENT OR ANY BANK THAT DOES NOT
COMPLY WITH SECTION 10.2 TO EFFECT AN AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, WAIVER OR
SUPPLEMENT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

                          MATERIAL SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

         This Material Subsidiary Guaranty is entered into as of November 26,
1997 by BW/IP INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Subsidiary
Guarantor"), in favor of and for the benefit of Bank of America National Trust
and Savings Association, as agent for and representative of (in such capacity
herein called "Agent") itself, the Banks and the Issuing Bank (as each such term
is defined in the Credit Agreement referenced below).

                                    RECITALS

         A. Flowserve Corporation, a New York corporation (the "Borrower") is
entering into that certain Credit Agreement dated as of November 26, 1997 among,
Borrower, the banks from time to time party thereto, and Bank of America
National Trust and Savings Association, as Agent and Issuing Bank (said Credit
Agreement, as it may hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise
modified from time to time, being the "Credit Agreement"; capitalized terms
defined therein and not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein
defined).

         B. A portion of the proceeds of the Loans may be loaned to Subsidiary
Guarantor and Letters of Credit may be issued for the benefit of Subsidiary
Guarantor and thus the Guarantied Obligations (as hereinafter defined) are being
incurred for and will inure to the benefit of Subsidiary Guarantor (which
benefits are hereby acknowledged).

         C. It is a condition precedent to the making of the Loans and issuance
of Letters of Credit that Borrower's obligations under the Credit Agreement be
guarantied by Subsidiary Guarantor.

         D. Subsidiary Guarantor is willing irrevocably and unconditionally to
guaranty such obligations of Borrower.

         NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the foregoing and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and
in order to induce Banks, the Issuing Bank and Agent to make the Loans and issue
Letters of Credit, Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

                             SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS

         1.1 Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Subsidiary Guaranty, the
following terms shall have the following meanings unless the context otherwise
requires:

         "Guarantied Obligations" has the meaning assigned to that term in
Section 2.1.

         "Payment in full", "paid in full" or any similar term means payment in
full of the Guarantied Obligations including, without limitation, all principal,
interest, costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees
and expenses) of Banks and Agent as required under the Loan Documents.

         "Subsidiary Guaranty" means this Subsidiary Guaranty.



                                      -1-
<PAGE>   2
         1.2 Interpretation.

         (a) References to "Sections" shall be to Sections of this Subsidiary
Guaranty unless otherwise specifically provided. All accounting terms not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them under
generally accepted accounting principles.

         (b) In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms,
conditions and provisions of this Subsidiary Guaranty and the terms, conditions
and provisions of the Credit Agreement, the terms, conditions and provisions of
this Subsidiary Guaranty shall prevail.

                             SECTION 2. THE GUARANTY

         2.1 Guaranty of the Guarantied Obligations. Subsidiary Guarantor hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties, as primary obligor and not merely as
surety, the due and punctual payment in full of all Guarantied Obligations when
the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment,
declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would
become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of
the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. ss. 362(a)). The term "Guarantied Obligations" is
used herein in its most comprehensive sense and includes:

         (a) any and all Obligations of Borrower now or hereafter made, incurred
or created, whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether
due or not due, and however arising under or in connection with the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including those arising under successive
borrowing transactions under the Credit Agreement which shall either continue
the Obligations of Borrower or from time to time renew them after they have been
satisfied; and

         (b) those expenses set forth in Section 2.9 hereof.

         2.2 Limitation on Amount Guarantied; Contribution by Subsidiary
Guarantor.

         (a) Anything contained in this Subsidiary Guaranty to the contrary
notwithstanding, if any Fraudulent Transfer Law (as hereinafter defined) is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be applicable to the
obligations of Subsidiary Guarantor under this Subsidiary Guaranty, such
obligations of Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to a maximum
aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its
obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any
applicable provisions of comparable state law (collectively, the "Fraudulent
Transfer Laws"), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of
Subsidiary Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the
Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of
Subsidiary Guarantor (x) in respect of intercompany indebtedness to Borrower or
other affiliates of Borrower to the extent that such indebtedness would be
discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by Subsidiary Guarantor
hereunder and (y) under any guaranty of Subordinated Indebtedness which guaranty
contains a limitation as to maximum amount similar to that set forth in this
Section 2.2(a), pursuant to which the liability of Subsidiary Guarantor
hereunder is included in the liabilities taken into account in determining such
maximum amount) and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined
under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any


                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3

rights to subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution of
Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to applicable law or pursuant to the terms of any
agreement (including without limitation any such right of contribution under a
Related Guaranty (as hereinafter defined) as contemplated by Section 2.2(b)).

         (b) Subsidiary Guarantor under this Subsidiary Guaranty, and each
guarantor under other guaranties, if any, relating to the Credit Agreement (the
"Related Guaranties") which contain a contribution provision similar to that set
forth in this Section 2.2(b), together desire to allocate among themselves
(collectively, the "Contributing Guarantors"), in a fair and equitable manner,
their obligations arising under this Subsidiary Guaranty and the Related
Guaranties. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any
date by Subsidiary Guarantor under this Subsidiary Guaranty or a guarantor under
a Related Guaranty (a "Funding Guarantor") that exceeds its Fair Share (as
defined below) as of such date, that Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a
contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in the amount of
such other Contributing Guarantor's Fair Share Shortfall (as defined below) as
of such date, with the result that all such contributions will cause each
Contributing Guarantor's Aggregate Payments (as defined below) to equal its Fair
Share as of such date. "Fair Share" means, with respect to a Contributing
Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the ratio of
(x) the Adjusted Maximum Amount (as defined below) with respect to such
Contributing Guarantor to (y) the aggregate of the Adjusted Maximum Amounts with
respect to all Contributing Guarantors, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate amount
paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this
Subsidiary Guaranty and the Related Guaranties in respect of the obligations
guarantied. "Fair Share Shortfall" means, with respect to a Contributing
Guarantor as of any date of determination, the excess, if any, of the Fair Share
of such Contributing Guarantor over the Aggregate Payments of such Contributing
Guarantor. "Adjusted Maximum Amount" means, with respect to a Contributing
Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the
obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Subsidiary Guaranty and
the Related Guaranties, determined as of such date in accordance with Section
2.2(a) or, if applicable, a similar provision contained in a Related Guaranty;
provided that, solely for purposes of calculating the "Adjusted Maximum Amount"
with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 2.2(b),
any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of
any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or
obligations of contribution hereunder or under any similar provision contained
in a Related Guaranty shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such
Contributing Guarantor. "Aggregate Payments" means, with respect to a
Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i)
the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such
date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Subsidiary Guaranty and
the Related Guaranties (including, without limitation, in respect of this
Section 2.2(b) or any similar provision contained in a Related Guaranty) minus
(ii) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by
such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as
contributions under this Section 2.2(b) or any similar provision contained in a
Related Guaranty. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder and under
similar provisions in the Related Guaranties shall be determined as of the date
on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding
Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as
set forth in this Section 2.2(b) or any similar provision contained in a Related
Guaranty shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any
Contributing Guarantor hereunder or under a


                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4
Related Guaranty.  Each Contributing Guarantor under a Related Guaranty is a
third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section
2.2(b).

         2.3 Liability of Subsidiary Guarantor. Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that
its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a
legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than indefeasible
payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations, the termination of the
Commitments, and the expiration or cancellation of all Letters of Credit. In
furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof,
Subsidiary Guarantor agrees as follows:

         (a) This Subsidiary Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and
not of collectibility.

         (b) Agent may enforce this Subsidiary Guaranty upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement notwithstanding the existence of
any dispute between Banks and Borrower with respect to the existence of such
Event of Default.

         (c) The obligations of Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder are independent
of the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents and the obligations of
any other guarantor of the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents, and
a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Subsidiary
Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against Borrower or any of such
other guarantors and whether or not Borrower is joined in any such action or
actions.

         (d) Subsidiary Guarantor's payment of a portion, but not all, of the
Guarantied Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge
Subsidiary Guarantor's liability for any portion of the Guarantied Obligations
which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if
Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce Subsidiary
Guarantor's covenant to pay a portion of the Guarantied Obligations, such
judgment shall not be deemed to release Subsidiary Guarantor from its covenant
to pay the portion of the Guarantied Obligations that is not the subject of such
suit.

         (e) Agent or any Bank, upon such terms as it deems appropriate,
without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability of
this Subsidiary Guaranty or giving rise to any reduction, limitation,
impairment, discharge or termination of Subsidiary Guarantor's liability
hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the
rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of
payment of the Guarantied Obligations, (ii) settle, compromise, release or
discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or
substitutions for, the Guarantied Obligations or any agreement relating thereto
and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other
obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guarantied
Obligations and take and hold security for the payment of this Subsidiary
Guaranty or the Guarantied Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange,
substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify,
with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guarantied
Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guarantied Obligations, or any other
obligation of any Person with respect to the Guarantied Obligations; (v) enforce
and apply any security now or


                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5
hereafter held by or for the benefit of Agent or any Bank in respect of this
Subsidiary Guaranty or the Guarantied Obligations and direct the order or manner
of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that Agent or Banks, or
any of them, may have against any such security, as Agent in its discretion may
determine consistent with the Credit Agreement and any applicable security
agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more
judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is
commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or
extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of
Subsidiary Guarantor against Borrower or any security for the Guarantied
Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Loan
Documents.

         (f) This Subsidiary Guaranty and the obligations of Subsidiary
Guarantor hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to
any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason
(other than indefeasible payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations, the
termination of the Commitments, and the expiration or cancellation of all
Letters of Credit), including without limitation the occurrence of any of the
following, whether or not Subsidiary Guarantor shall have had notice or
knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or
agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by
order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement
of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the
Loan Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guarantied
Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other
guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guarantied Obligations; (ii) any
rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure
from, any of the terms or provisions (including without limitation provisions
relating to events of default) of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan
Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any
other guaranty or security for the Guarantied Obligations, in each case whether
or not in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or such Loan
Document or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the
Guarantied Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being
found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the
application of payments received from any source (other than payments received
pursuant to the other Loan Documents or from the proceeds of any security for
the Guarantied Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as
collateral for indebtedness other than the Guarantied Obligations) to the
payment of indebtedness other than the Guarantied Obligations, even though Agent
or Banks, or any of them, might have elected to apply such payment to any part
or all of the Guarantied Obligations; (v) any Bank's or Agent's consent to the
change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of
the Guarantied Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection
of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guarantied
Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which Borrower may
allege or assert against Agent or any Bank in respect of the Guarantied
Obligations, including but not limited to failure of consideration, breach of
warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and
satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay
to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent
vary the risk of Subsidiary Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guarantied
Obligations.

         2.4 Waivers by Subsidiary Guarantor.  Subsidiary Guarantor hereby
waives, for the benefit of Banks and Agent:

         (a) any right to require Agent or Banks, as a condition of payment or
performance by Subsidiary Guarantor, to (i) proceed against Borrower, any other
guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed
against or exhaust any security held from Borrower, any other guarantor of the
Guarantied Obligations or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort
to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of Agent or any
Bank in favor of Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy
in the power of Agent or any Bank whatsoever;

         (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority
or any disability or other defense of Borrower including, without limitation,
any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the
unenforceability of the Guarantied Obligations or any agreement or instrument
relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of Borrower from
any cause other than indefeasible payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations,
the termination of the Commitments, and the expiration or cancellation of all
Letters of Credit;

         (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides
that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other
respects more burdensome than that of the principal;

         (d) any defense based upon Agent's or any Bank's errors or omissions in
the administration of the Guarantied Obligations, except behavior which amounts
to bad faith;

         (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise,
which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Subsidiary Guaranty and
any legal or equitable discharge of Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations
hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting Subsidiary
Guarantor's liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to
set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any
requirement that Agent or any Bank protect, secure, perfect or insure any
security interest or lien or any property subject thereto;

         (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest,
notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance
of this Subsidiary Guaranty, notices of default under the Credit Agreement or
any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension
or modification of the Guarantied Obligations or any agreement related thereto,
notices of any extension of credit to Borrower and notices of any of the matters
referred to in Section 2.3 and any right to consent to any thereof; and

         (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by
law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which
may conflict with the terms of this Subsidiary Guaranty.

         2.5 Payment by Subsidiary Guarantor; Application of Payments.
Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in
limitation of any other right which Agent or any other Person may have at law or
in equity against Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of
Borrower to pay any of the Guarantied Obligations when and as


                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7
the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment,
declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would
become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of
the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. ss. 362(a)), Subsidiary Guarantor will forthwith
pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to Agent for the ratable benefit of Banks, an
amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guarantied
Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such
Guarantied Obligations (including, without limitation, interest which, but for
the filing of a petition in bankruptcy with respect to Borrower, would have
accrued on such Guarantied Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed
against Borrower for such interest in any such bankruptcy proceeding) and all
other Guarantied Obligations then owed to Agent and/or Banks as aforesaid. All
such payments shall be applied promptly from time to time by Agent:

         First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of any collection or
other realization under this Subsidiary Guaranty, including reasonable
compensation to Agent and its agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities
and Loans made or incurred by Agent in connection therewith;

         Second, to the payment of all other Guarantied Obligations; and

         Third, after payment in full of all Guarantied Obligations, to the
payment to Subsidiary Guarantor, or its successors or assigns, or to whomsoever
may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such payments.

         2.6 Subrogation. Until the Guarantied Obligations shall have been
indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated and all
Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled or cash collateralized
pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, Subsidiary Guarantor shall
withhold exercise of (a) any right of subrogation, (b) any right of contribution
Subsidiary Guarantor may have against any other guarantor of the Guarantied
Obligations, (c) any right to enforce any remedy which Agent or any Bank now has
or may hereafter have against Borrower or (d) any benefit of, and any right to
participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Agent or any Bank.
Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver of its rights
of subrogation and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of
subrogation Subsidiary Guarantor may have against Borrower or against any
collateral or security, and any rights of contribution Subsidiary Guarantor may
have against any other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights
Agent or Banks may have against Borrower, to all right, title and interest Agent
or Banks may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right Agent or
Banks may have against such other guarantor. Agent, on behalf of Banks, may use,
sell or dispose of any item of collateral or security as it sees fit without
regard to any subrogation rights Subsidiary Guarantor may have, and upon any
such disposition or sale any rights of subrogation Subsidiary Guarantor may have
shall terminate. If any amount shall be paid to Subsidiary Guarantor on account
of such subrogation rights at any time when all Guarantied Obligations shall not
have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for Agent on behalf
of Banks and shall forthwith be paid over to Agent for the benefit of Banks to
be credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or
unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or any
applicable security agreement.

         2.7 Subordination of Other Obligations. Any indebtedness of Borrower
now or hereafter held by Subsidiary Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of
payment to the Guarantied Obligations, and any such indebtedness of Borrower to
Subsidiary Guarantor collected or received by Subsidiary Guarantor after an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Agent
on behalf of Banks and shall forthwith be paid over to Agent for the benefit of
Banks to be credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations but without
affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of Subsidiary
Guarantor under any other provision of this Subsidiary Guaranty.

         2.8 Real Property Security. Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that, if all or
a portion of the Guarantied Obligations are at any time secured by a deed of
trust or mortgage covering interests in real property, Agent or its designee, in
its sole discretion, without notice or demand and without affecting the
liability of Subsidiary Guarantor under this Subsidiary Guaranty, may foreclose,
pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents or otherwise, on such deed of trust
or mortgage and the interests in real property secured thereby by nonjudicial or
other sale. Subsidiary Guarantor understands that the exercise by Banks or
Agent, or any of them, of certain rights and remedies contained in the Credit
Agreement and such deed of trust or mortgage may affect or eliminate Subsidiary
Guarantor's right of subrogation against Borrower and that Subsidiary Guarantor
may therefore incur a partially or totally nonreimbursable liability hereunder.
Nevertheless, Subsidiary Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers Agent and any
Bank to exercise, in its sole discretion, any rights and remedies, or any
combination thereof, which may then be available, since it is the intent and
purpose of Subsidiary Guarantor that the obligations hereunder shall be
absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances.
Notwithstanding any foreclosure of the lien of such deed of trust or mortgage
with respect to any or all real or personal property secured thereby, whether by
the exercise of the power of sale contained therein, by an action for judicial
foreclosure or by an acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, Subsidiary
Guarantor shall remain bound under this Subsidiary Guaranty, including its
obligation to pay any deficiency after a nonjudicial foreclosure.

         2.9 Expenses. Subsidiary Guarantor agrees to pay, or cause to be paid,
and to save Agent and Banks harmless against liability for, any and all costs
and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel and the allocated cost
of inhouse counsel) incurred or expended by Agent or any Bank in connection with
the enforcement of or preservation of any rights under this Subsidiary Guaranty.

         2.10 Continuing Guaranty; Termination of Subsidiary Guaranty. This
Subsidiary Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until
all of the Guarantied Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, the
Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired
or been cancelled or cash collateralized pursuant to the terms of the Credit
Agreement. Anything contained in this Subsidiary Guaranty to the contrary
notwithstanding, this Subsidiary Guaranty shall not apply to Guarantied
Obligations created after actual receipt by Agent of written notice (delivered
in accordance with Section 5.2) from Subsidiary Guarantor of its revocation as
to future transactions; provided, however, that any such revocation shall not
affect Subsidiary Guarantor's liability for any Guarantied Obligations
outstanding at the time of receipt of such notice or any extension or renewal of
such Guarantied Obligations.


                                      -8-
<PAGE>   9
         2.11 Authority of Subsidiary Guarantor or Borrower. It is not necessary
for Banks or Agent to inquire into the capacity or powers of Subsidiary
Guarantor or Borrower or the officers, directors or any agents acting or
purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

         2.12 Financial Condition of Borrower. Any Loans may be granted to
Borrower or continued from time to time without notice to or authorization from
Subsidiary Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrower
at the time of any such grant or continuation. Banks and Agent shall have no
obligation to disclose or discuss with Subsidiary Guarantor their assessment, or
Subsidiary Guarantor's assessment, of the financial condition of Borrower.
Subsidiary Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from Borrower on a
continuing basis concerning the financial condition of Borrower and its ability
to perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement, and Subsidiary Guarantor
assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial
condition of Borrower and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of
nonpayment of the Guarantied Obligations. Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives and
relinquishes any duty on the part of Agent or any Bank to disclose any matter,
fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of Borrower now
known or hereafter known by Agent or any Bank.

         2.13 Rights Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies given to Banks
and Agent by this Subsidiary Guaranty are cumulative and shall be in addition to
and independent of all rights, powers and remedies given to Banks and Agent by
virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Loan Documents or
any agreement between Subsidiary Guarantor and Banks and/or Agent or between
Borrower and Banks and/or Agent. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any
delay by any Bank or Agent in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder
shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver
thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or
remedy.

         2.14 Bankruptcy; Post-Petition Interest; Reinstatement of
Subsidiary Guaranty.

         (a) The obligations of Subsidiary Guarantor under this Subsidiary
Guaranty shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred,
suspended or terminated by any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving
the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or
arrangement of Borrower or by any defense which Borrower may have by reason of
the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from
any such proceeding.

         (b) Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on
any portion of the Guarantied Obligations which accrues after the commencement
of any proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any
portion of the Guarantied Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by
reason of the commencement of said proceeding, such interest as would have
accrued on such portion of the Guarantied Obligations if said proceedings had
not been commenced) shall be included in the Guarantied Obligations because it
is the intention of Subsidiary Guarantor and Agent that the Guarantied
Obligations which are guarantied by Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this
Subsidiary Guaranty should be determined without regard to any rule of law or
order which may relieve Borrower of any portion of such Guarantied Obligations.
Subsidiary Guarantor will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in
possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar person to pay
Agent, or allow the


                                      -9-
<PAGE>   10
claim of Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which
such proceeding is commenced.

         (c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations
are paid by Borrower, the obligations of Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall
continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may
be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or
recovered directly or indirectly from Agent or any Bank as a preference,
fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded
or recovered shall constitute Guarantied Obligations for all purposes under this
Subsidiary Guaranty.

         2.15 Set Off. In addition to any other rights any Bank or Agent may
have under law or in equity, if any amount shall at any time be due and owing by
Subsidiary Guarantor to any Bank or Agent under this Subsidiary Guaranty, such
Bank or Agent is authorized at any time or from time to time, without notice
(any such notice being hereby expressly waived), to set off and to appropriate
and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including but not limited
to indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or
unmatured) and any other indebtedness of any Bank or Agent owing to Subsidiary
Guarantor and any other property of Subsidiary Guarantor held by any Bank or
Agent to or for the credit or the account of Subsidiary Guarantor against and on
account of the Guarantied Obligations and liabilities of Subsidiary Guarantor to
any Bank or Agent under this Subsidiary Guaranty.

         2.16 Discharge of Subsidiary Guaranty Upon Sale of Subsidiary
Guarantor. If all of the stock of Subsidiary Guarantor or any of its successors
in interest under this Subsidiary Guaranty shall be sold or otherwise disposed
of (including by merger or consolidation) in an asset sale not prohibited by
Section 5.02(e) of the Credit Agreement or otherwise consented to by Requisite
Banks, the Subsidiary Guaranty of Subsidiary Guarantor or such successor in
interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and
released without any further action by Agent or any Bank or any other Person
effective as of the time of such asset sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so
long as the Subsidiary Guarantor or its successor shall remain a Subsidiary of
the Borrower and any Guarantied Obligations remain outstanding, such Subsidiary
Guarantor or successor shall enter into a new Subsidiary Guaranty with the Agent
for the benefit of the Banks.

                    SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         In order to induce Banks and Agent to accept this Subsidiary Guaranty
and to enter into the Credit Agreement and to make the Loans thereunder,
Subsidiary Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Banks that the following
statements are true and correct:

         3.1 Corporate Existence. Subsidiary Guarantor is duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its
incorporation, has the corporate power to own its assets and to transact the
business in which it is now engaged and is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its
ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such
qualification, except for failures to be so qualified, authorized or licensed
that would not in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the business,
operations, assets or financial condition of Subsidiary Guarantor.


                                      -10-
<PAGE>   11
         3.2 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Subsidiary
Guarantor has the corporate power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver
and perform this Subsidiary Guaranty and all obligations required hereunder and
has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize its Subsidiary Guaranty
hereunder on the terms and conditions hereof and its execution, delivery and
performance of this Subsidiary Guaranty and all obligations required hereunder.
No consent of any other Person including, without limitation, stockholders and
creditors of Subsidiary Guarantor (other than those which have been obtained),
and no license, permit, approval or authorization of, exemption by, notice or
report to, or registration, filing or declaration with, any governmental
authority is required by Subsidiary Guarantor in connection with this Subsidiary
Guaranty or the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of
this Subsidiary Guaranty and all obligations required hereunder except such
consents licenses, permits, approvals or authorizations which, if not obtained,
either (i) would not adversely affect the ability of the Subsidiary Guarantor to
perform the transactions contemplated by this Subsidiary Guaranty, or (ii) would
not have a Material Adverse Effect. This Subsidiary Guaranty has been, and each
instrument or document required hereunder will be, executed and delivered by a
duly authorized officer of Subsidiary Guarantor, and this Subsidiary Guaranty
constitutes, and each instrument or document required hereunder when executed
and delivered hereunder will constitute, the legally valid and binding
obligation of Subsidiary Guarantor, enforceable against Subsidiary Guarantor in
accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws or
equitable principles relating to or limiting creditors' rights generally.

         3.3 No Legal Bar to this Subsidiary Guaranty. The execution, delivery
and performance of this Subsidiary Guaranty and the documents or instruments
required hereunder, and the use of the proceeds of the borrowings, and the
issuance of the Letters of Credit will not violate any provision of any existing
law or regulation binding on Subsidiary Guarantor, or any order, judgment, award
or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority binding on
Subsidiary Guarantor, or the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of
Subsidiary Guarantor or any securities issued by Subsidiary Guarantor, or any
mortgage, indenture, lease, contract or other agreement, instrument or
undertaking to which Subsidiary Guarantor is a party or by which Subsidiary
Guarantor or any of its assets may be bound, the violation of which would have a
material adverse effect on the business, operations, assets or financial
condition of Subsidiary Guarantor and will not result in, or require, the
creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its property, assets or revenues
pursuant to the provisions of any such mortgage, indenture, lease, contract or
other agreement, instrument or undertaking.

                        SECTION 4. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

         So long as any Loan shall remain unpaid or any Bank shall have any
Commitment hereunder and until the expiration, the cancellation and the payment
in full or cash collateralization of all Letters of Credit, Subsidiary Guarantor
covenants and agrees, unless Requisite Banks shall otherwise consent in writing:

         4.1 Corporate Existence, Etc. Except as permitted under Section 5.02(c)
of the Credit Agreement, Subsidiary Guarantor shall at all times preserve and
keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and all rights and
franchises material to its business.

         4.2 Compliance with Laws, Etc. Subsidiary Guarantor shall perform and
promptly comply with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations
and orders other than those with which the failure to comply would not have a
Material Adverse Effect, such compliance to include, without limitation, paying
when due all taxes, assessments and governmental charges imposed upon it or upon
any of its properties or assets or in respect of any of its franchises,
businesses, income or property in accordance with Section 5.01(e) of the Credit
Agreement.

         4.3 Books and Records. Subsidiary Guarantor shall keep and maintain
books of record and account with respect to its operations in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and shall permit Agent or any Bank and
their respective officers, employees and authorized agents, to the extent Agent
in good faith deems necessary for the proper administration of this Subsidiary
Guaranty, to examine, copy and make excerpts from the books and records of
Subsidiary Guarantor and its Subsidiaries and to inspect the properties of
Subsidiary Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, both real and personal, at such
reasonable times as Agent may request.

rights following consultation with legal counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE,

         Company fails to promptly remedy after you provided written notice to

         of termination and (v) Severance Benefits. For purposes of this
         Agreement, "Severance Benefits" means the product of (X) the sum of

         calendar years and (Y) a multiple, which shall be three (3) if your
         termination occurs before August 1,1998, two (2) if your termination
         occurs after July 31, 1998 and before August 1, 1999 or one (1) if
         your termination occurs on or after August 1, 1999 and on or before
         July 31, 2001. Subject to Section 8, Severance Benefits shall be paid
         in equal monthly payments over the number of years equal to the
         applicable multiple (i.e., 3,2, or 1 depending on the date of your
         termination) used to calculate the amount of your Severance Benefits.
         Subject to Section 8, Severance Benefits shall not be offset or
         reduced by compensation received from any other source after your
         Qualifying Termination.

                  (b) If your employment is terminated before August 1, 2001 in
         other than a Qualifying Termination, you shall only receive the
         benefits described in Clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 7 (a).

                  (c) By executing this Agreement you acknowledge your
         ineligibility for, and waive any other right you may have to receive,
         any other severance or termination benefits provided by the Company or
         its subsidiaries, except for such benefits as are provided under your
         contract with the Company which provides severance benefits to you
         subsequent to and contingent upon a change of control of the Company
         (the "CIC Benefits"). In the event that you receive any CIC benefits,
         then you shall be eligible to receive no benefits hereunder.


                                                                          Page 2

         8. Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation. During the period in which
Severance Benefits are payable, in the case of any Qualifying Termination, or
during the one year period following your termination for any other reason, you
agree not to (i) engage, anywhere in the world, in any business activity or
render any services or advice to any business, activity, person or entity that
competes in any material manner with the Company or its subsidiaries or (ii)
solicit or otherwise encourage employees of the Company or its subsidiaries to
accept employment with or provide services to any other business or entity. If
you violate this Section 8, all Severance Benefits shall immediately cease and
shall be irrevocably forfeited. In addition, you (i) acknowledge that the
Company and its subsidiaries will not have any adequate remedy at law and would
be irreparably harmed if you violate this Section 8 and (ii) agree that the
Company and its subsidiaries will be entitled to injunctive or equitable relief
in the event of any actual or threatened breach of this Section 8. The
provisions of this Section 8 will survive the termination of this Agreement.

         9. Mandatory Release. In order to receive the severance benefits
hereunder, you must execute a general release of all claims against the Company,
its officers, its directors, its affiliates and its employees in a form
satisfactory to the Company, immediately prior to the receipt of your first
payment of any such benefits. If you fail to execute such release within thirty
(30) days of your termination from the Company, you will forfeit the right to
such benefits.

         10. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the law of New
York, without regard to its choice of law provisions.


         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Executive and the Company have entered into
this Agreement as of the date first written above.

FLOWSERVE 1997 ANNUAL REPORT                                                  1
<PAGE>   4
DEAR FELLOW STOCKHOLDER:

In July 1997, two independently successful companies, BW/IP, Inc. and Durco
International Inc., merged their respective strengths and specialties in the
flow management industry to create a powerful new global leader -- Flowserve
Corporation. The merger of these two well-established corporations has created a
more balanced, financially stronger, dynamic new Company with a fresh identity,
a streamlined organization and greater competitive capabilities worldwide.

Flowserve was formed through a merger of equals, a strategic business alliance
with a broadened vision for the new millennium -- to be a single-source,
quick-response solution for all of our customers' flow management needs, no
matter where in the world that need exists.

The merger has produced immediate results, as the combined Company reported
record sales, bookings and earnings before special items last year. This
excellent performance is especially noteworthy because it was achieved at the
same time we were launching a broad program of merger integration initiatives
that will produce significant tangible benefits for stockholders and customers
alike in the future.

The Company reported combined income before special items of $82.1 million
compared with $74.1 million in 1996. Income before special items per diluted
share increased to $2.01 compared with income before special items per diluted
share of $1.79 for the combined predecessor companies in 1996. This represents a
12 percent increase, which met our ongoing goal of double-digit growth in annual
earnings.

Net income for the year, after recognizing the effect of special items, was
$1.26 per diluted share. Special items included one-time merger transaction
expenses of $11.9 million, a one-time restructuring charge of $32.6 million in
the fourth quarter, merger integration expenses of $7.0 million, and a pre-tax
gain on the sale of the Metal Fab Machine Corporation subsidiary of $11.4
million.

Sales for the year were a record $1.15 billion, an increase of five percent over
combined sales of $1.10 billion in 1996. This result was achieved despite an
adverse currency translation effect of four percent, which reduced sales by $46
million.

Bookings, an important measure of the progress of the Company and the strength
of its markets, reached a record $1.17 billion, a three-percent increase over
combined bookings of $1.14 billion in 1996. Bookings for the year also were
lowered by four percent due to currency translation effects.

An important advantage as we plan for the future is the fact that the merger was
done as a pooling, with no debt added to the balance sheet. We ended the year in
a strong financial condition, with a conservative debt to capital ratio, strong
cash flow, ample borrowing reserves and the ability to fulfill our growth
strategies as we move forward.

Following approval by shareholders on July 22, the merger got off to a rapid
start. The Company's Board of Directors approved a merger integration program
that includes a total investment of approximately $92 million. This program is
far ranging, with more than 45 projects that will make us much more efficient
and improve capacity utilization. We estimate the program will produce cost
savings and revenue increases that will result in benefits in a range of $45-$55
million annually in operating income at the end of three years.

In addition to the merger itself, 1997 included a number of significant
accomplishments. Important organizational changes were completed, creating major
cost savings potential, generating a wealth of new marketing and sales
opportunities, and facilitating communications, coordination and customer
service company-wide. We combined the two companies' prior pump businesses into
a Rotating Equipment Division, combined the prior seal businesses into a Fluid
Sealing Division and combined the prior valve businesses into a Flow Control
Division. We broadened our operating approach by establishing ServiceRepair as a
new area of emphasis, providing customers a broad array of pump, seal, valve and
service alternatives united under a strong global brand.

Combining business units is one part of the formula. Facility and business
rationalization has been an equally important thrust to build value. We closed
the corporate headquarters of Durco in Dayton, Ohio and BW/IP in Long Beach,
California and united corporate and division managements in a new international
headquarters in Dallas, Texas. We closed a high-cost pump manufacturing plant in
Charleroi, Belgium and transferred production to plants in Hengelo and
Etten-Leur, The Netherlands. We announced plans to phase

out the Company's San Jose, California pump assembly and test facility by
mid-1998 and transfer production to an existing facility in Los Angeles,
California. We sold the company's Metal Fab Machine Corporation subsidiary, a
non-core business, for approximately $19 million in cash. Combined, these
programs allow a net headcount reduction of more than 450.

A number of additional efforts will supplement the merger integration program
and improve our operational, financial, and sales and marketing capabilities. We
have initiated a 50 percent expansion of capacity of the large-component
manufacturing center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We started multiple procurement
savings initiatives, including a global sourcing program. We negotiated a new
five-year revolving credit line of $150 million, with an option for an
additional $50 million, and launched a project to reduce the Company's 1998 tax
rate. We are preparing a plan for a large-scale, multi-year upgrade of the
Company's information systems. In the fourth quarter, the Company opened two new
valve plants and a pump plant in India. The low-cost, high-quality output from
these plants provides a model for improving our ability to source competitively
to Asia and Europe.

In 1997, BW/IP and Durco also completed initiatives prior to the merger that
will prove beneficial to the company going forward. These included the
acquisitions of the assets of Anchor-Darling Valve in Williamsport, Pennsylvania
and the engineered pumps group of Stork Pompen in The Netherlands, both of which
contributed to 1997's sales and profit growth, and the divestiture of the
Filtration Systems Division, each with results that exceeded objectives.

Of course, as is true with any large, goal-oriented enterprise, there were also
some disappointments that went along with the successes. Last year we
experienced a business environment characterized by declining currency values
outside the United States and market demand that was not as robust as we had
expected when 1997 began. As a result, we fell short of our internal growth
objectives. The merger process also forced us to postpone projects for building
internal excellence and these will be resumed as the merger integration
proceeds.

As we look ahead to 1998, it is clear the merger is on a fast track, and we
already have begun to realize the benefits from reducing expenses and
cross-selling products and services to customers. The synergies created by the
merger, the fundamental soundness of our markets, and our recent financial
results make us confident about the future. Flowserve is a well-focused company
with many opportunities to grow on a strong financial base.

As always, all the planning, forecasting and implementation associated with a
merger of this magnitude would not be possible without the dedication and
enthusiasm of our employees around the world and we would like to give them
special thanks. Flowserve's employees have stayed focused on their principal
activities of serving customers and running the business well while
energetically taking on the many critical projects that are necessary to make
the merger successful.

We would also like to recognize the support of our exceptional Board of
Directors. In addition to the five Durco Directors and four BW/IP Directors who
remained on the Flowserve Board, we added George T. Haymaker, Jr., Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of Kaiser Aluminum Corporation, and Charles M. Rampacek,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Lyondell-Citgo Refining Company. Both
bring valuable perspective to a diverse and dedicated Director group.

We thank you as stockholders for sharing our faith in the ability of our people
to be successful. The new company created significant value for shareholders
during 1997. We are committed to having Flowserve build even greater value in
the future.

BROAD GEOGRAPHIC COVERAGE

The merger of BW/IP and Durco has propelled Flowserve to first position among
publicly traded flow control companies in the United States, creating one of the
largest competitors in the global flow management industry. Moving forward into
the 21st century, Flowserve plans to build on this large competitive platform as
it pursues growth in markets around the world. Expanding geographic market
coverage, with emphasis on markets outside Europe and North America, is a
critical component of the Company's strategic efforts to serve our customers and
assure future success.

With a geographic reach that spans several continents, Flowserve is well
prepared to compete successfully against challenging worldwide competition. Many
of Flowserve's customers are large, global companies that require a full
complement of industrial flow management services wherever they are located. The
new Company can serve the needs of the largest companies in the global process
industries, offering many more products and services than smaller regional and
local competitors, and delivering them to more locations.

Nearly one-half of the Company's sales in 1997 were to destinations outside the
United States, including Europe and the Middle East (24 percent), Asia/Pacific
(11 percent) and Latin America, Canada and other destinations (13 percent).

The Company operates 44 manufacturing facilities and 88 service and quick
response centers in 28 countries (see map, page 13). Flowserve also relies on a
wide network of sales offices, distributors and licensees to expand sales reach
and customer service access. Products and services were sold in 80 countries
last year.

A primary contributor to the Company's growth is the demand for servicing the
large installed base of Flowserve equipment with aftermarket parts and services.
An important Company strategy is to enlarge Flowserve's network of free-standing
service centers, upgrade existing centers to provide the most comprehensive and
convenient repair and maintenance services for all flow control products, and
establish on-site service capabilities at customer operations. In addition,
Flowserve will continue to expand its diagnostics capabilities.

As the merger integration process continues forward, Flowserve will follow the
practice of sourcing raw materials, components and production from the countries
and plants that provide the best combination of cost and capability from the
customer's standpoint. Using an integrated manufacturing strategy, a number of
Company plants are producing machined parts, components and subassemblies that
are shipped to other locations for final assembly, test and shipment to the
customer.

Based on expectations for increased demand for energy and basic chemicals in the
emerging economies, Flowserve will continue to invest in the Latin America and
Asia/Pacific regions. Despite possible short-term setbacks for some projects in
the Asia/Pacific area, long-term business drivers in these regions include: the
need for emerging countries to expand their infrastructure; privatization of
their economies; transportation growth; and, to power it all, increasing energy
demand. Growth in these markets will be supported by the addition of new
facilities, strategic alliances, joint ventures, acquisitions, and joint
licensing and marketing agreements.

ATTRACTIVE MARKETS

Flowserve serves the worldwide process industries -- primarily petroleum (32
percent of sales), chemicals (32 percent of sales) and power generation (15
percent of sales). As these markets historically tend to follow different
cycles, the Company is less vulnerable to economic changes than were its
predecessor companies individually.

The process industries are characterized by global companies with large
investments in major areas of the world. Because of this geographic diversity,
the Company is less subject to economic pressures in any one region.

Flowserve specializes in products for severe service applications where
operating environments require precision-engineered equipment that can withstand
extremes of temperature, pressure, horsepower, speed and corrosiveness. These
products must have robust designs, extreme reliability and exceptional operating
performance.

The petroleum market is characterized by strong capital and maintenance
expenditures by the oil companies, high worldwide refinery utilization rates,
increased spending on new refinery capacity in the Middle East and Latin
America, and continued growth in the worldwide demand for petroleum products.
Privatization of the oil industry in selected emerging countries is expected to
attract financing that will provide even greater opportunities for additional
investments in this sector. However, customers' expectations of movements in the
price of oil may influence their decisions regarding the timing of investments.

Flowserve's participation includes supplying process equipment principally to
the refining and pipeline segments of the petroleum industry, which represent
approximately 60 percent of worldwide oil industry spending. Total oil industry
capital spending was up five percent in 1997, and maintenance expenditures alone
increased nine percent.

The chemical market, especially over the longer term, is being driven by higher
spending on operating and efficiency improvements and increasingly strict
environmental requirements. However, current economic conditions in Asia have
reduced growth expectations in worldwide polyethylene and polypropylene markets
and are expected to lead to lower chemical industry profitability in 1998.

Flowserve is a leading supplier of corrosion-resistant fluid movement and
control equipment to the basic chemical industry, which represents 52 percent of
the worldwide chemical market.

In the power market, energy demand remains strong, particularly in emerging
markets, but the timing and funding of new projects remains uncertain.
Currently, more than 100 countries are supporting the expansion of their private
power industries, which could lead to the sale of additional equipment,
particularly for cogeneration projects.

The relatively low level of maintenance spending in the power industry in North
America and Europe in recent years has created the potential for increased
upgrade and retrofit of a large, aging equipment base. The economic forces of
deregulation, however, have temporarily suppressed capital spending in these
markets.

Flowserve maintains a world leadership position in nuclear power equipment
design and manufacturing, and retains a solid market franchise in selling
replacement parts for nuclear pumps and valves.

Accelerating customer outsourcing of repair and maintenance activities in the
process industries is giving rise to new strategic supplier alliances between

The Flow Control Division produces a broad line of valve products, from manual
and automated quarter-turn valves to automatic control valves, nuclear valves
and valve actuators.

The Fluid Sealing Division manufactures a complete line of precision-engineered
mechanical seals, sealing systems and accessories, and technologically advanced
dry gas seals.

Combining materials expertise, advanced design and engineering capabilities, and
applications experience, the Company develops and manufactures products that are
responsive to the process industries' mandate to achieve greater manufacturing
efficiencies, extend mean-time-between-failure, and reduce overall maintenance
costs.

Product reliability is further endorsed through compliance with many
industry-recognized standards, including those set by API, ANSI and ISO. In
support of its advanced capabilities in the design and production of nuclear
pumps and valves, Flowserve maintains a Nuclear Stamp quality certification from
the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). In addition, a majority of
the Company's manufacturing facilities hold standards qualifications from ISO,
certifying that quality-management systems conform with international standards
regarding product testing, employee training, record keeping and quality

FOCUS ON SERVICE

Flowserve's new ServiceRepair Division represents a new concept in service for
Flowserve and for the flow management industry, and is a fundamental part of the
Company's growth strategy. The ServiceRepair Division is focused on providing
world-class service and repair support under a strong global brand.

The ServiceRepair concept offers an outstanding opportunity to build closer
relationships with established customers, create new sources of recurring
revenue, and expand the Company's overall served market. This new concept is
facilitated by the merger, which provides the opportunity to combine expertise
across products used by the Company's customers. Through a multifaceted
strategy, Flowserve is positioning itself to become a leader in providing
service, repair and diagnostics to the process industries.

ServiceRepair places more emphasis on service activities that represent
typically higher-margin and more-stable portions of the flow management market.
Traditional business practice in the industry has been to first sell original
equipment to customers and then service that installed base of equipment with
replacement parts, maintenance and repairs over its lifetime. While remaining an
important part of Flowserve's total business, this type of growth is largely
limited by the Company's ability to increase its sales of original equipment.

The ServiceRepair Division is a conduit to expanding beyond simply servicing the
Company's installed base. Taking over non-core competencies of our customers --
for example, in maintenance -- can create a new and larger market that draws on
the Company's depth of technical and product knowledge. This growth strategy is
designed to generate higher-margin business that builds customer value and can
be developed with relatively low capital expenditures.

One important part of the strategy is to enlarge Flowserve's global network of
88 service and quick response centers located in 24 countries. The network will
be expanded to include new locations, while markets that currently have multiple
centers because of overlap from the merger will be consolidated. In the future,
Flowserve service centers will be unique in the industry, offering "one-stop
shopping" for repair and maintenance of all flow control products, including
pumps, valves, seals, and related products and systems.

ServiceRepair both supports and is supported by the Company's product
manufacturing businesses. Parts sales and cross-selling revenues are generated
by the ServiceRepair Division while, at the same time, the division provides
full-service support to the customers of the product divisions.

Opportunities also exist to develop new service businesses in areas such as
diagnostics, equipment upgrade, and the application of smart technologies to
existing process control systems. For example, through a grant from the European
Community, Flowserve is building the tools required for highly accurate
diagnostics, and is quickly developing a business base for these technologies in
Europe and the United States.

The ServiceRepair Division plans to take full, global advantage of the trend
toward increased outsourcing of maintenance, service and repair. In some cases,
this will involve placing Flowserve service centers directly inside customers'
facilities.

ServiceRepair is a response to customers' desire to increase their
mean-time-between-failure and keep their products operating efficiently, while
reducing maintenance costs and receiving a high level of service. The
ServiceRepair Division provides real value to customers and places Flowserve on
the cutting edge of the industry.

WORLDWIDE LOCATIONS

The engineered segments of the pump, seal and valve markets, which require
sophisticated equipment to move fluids in environments that span extremes of
temperature, pressure, horsepower and speed, are the most global of the market
segments in terms of customers, applications and suppliers. These are the arenas
in which the Company concentrates, making Flowserve's extensive worldwide
coverage one of its primary strengths.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The following discussion and analysis is provided to increase understanding of,
and should be read in conjunction with, the consolidated financial statements
and accompanying notes.

OVERVIEW

Flowserve Corporation (the Company or Flowserve) was created on July 22, 1997,
through a merger of equals between BW/IP, Inc. and Durco International Inc.
accounted for under "pooling of interests" accounting. Accordingly, all
historical information has been restated giving effect to the transaction as if
the two companies had been combined at the beginning of all periods presented.
In addition, certain other historical information has been reclassified for
consistency with the 1997 presentation.

Flowserve produces engineered pumps for the process industries, precision
mechanical seals, manual and automated quarter-turn valves, control valves and
valve actuators, and provides a range of related flow management services to a
diverse customer base worldwide. Equipment manufactured and serviced by the
Company is used in industries that utilize difficult to handle and often
corrosive fluids in environments with extreme temperature, pressure, horsepower
and speed. Flowserve's businesses are affected by economic conditions in the
U.S. and other countries where its products are sold and serviced, and by the
relationship of the U.S. dollar to other currencies, and demand and pricing for
customers' products. The impact of these conditions is mitigated to some degree
by the strength and diversity of Flowserve's product lines and geographic
coverage.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's condensed consolidated financial results for the last three years
are summarized below:

</TABLE>

Net sales increased to $1,152.2 million, and favorably compared with sales of
$1,097.6 million in 1996 and $983.9 million in 1995. The increase in net sales
in 1997 reflects stronger global demand for pump products, mechanical seals,
engineered valves, and sales from recently acquired entities. Partially
offsetting the increase in sales in 1997 was the translation impact of the
strong U.S. dollar against foreign currencies, which negatively impacted net
sales by approximately $46 million and the sale of the filtration systems
business in May of 1997, which contributed $9 million in additional sales in
1996. Sales increases in 1996 compared with 1995 reflected strong shipments
across all geographic regions as the Company's major customers had high levels
of capital spending. In addition, the Company benefitted from a more competitive
pricing position as a result of a restructuring of its North American engineered
pump operations which was initiated in 1993 and completed in 1996.

Net sales to international customers, including export sales from the U.S., were
48.0% in 1997, 52.2% in 1996 and 49.5% in 1995. The reduction in international
contributions in 1997 primarily reflected the currency translation impact of the
weaker European and Asian currencies.

Gross profit margin as a percent of net sales of 39.0% in 1997, was relatively
flat compared with 39.1% in 1996 and slightly less than the 39.9% in 1995. The
reduction from 1995 to 1996 was related to a less

favorable product mix, including a higher percentage of lower-margin engineered
pump original equipment sales, lower sales of profitable nuclear aftermarket
products and competitive pricing pressures in the industry. These factors
continued in 1997, but were offset by cost controls which kept the margin in
1997 relatively flat compared with 1996. Selling and administrative expenses as
a percent of net sales were 24.8% in 1997, compared with 25.8% in 1996 and 26.9%
1995. In part, the reduction in selling and administrative expenses as a
percentage of net sales compared with prior years was a result of restructuring
programs completed in the U.S. and Europe in 1997 and 1996. Additionally, the
Company continued to leverage selling and administrative expense as a percent of
net sales.

Research, engineering and development expenses were $26.9 million in 1997,
compared with $24.5 million in 1996 and $24.6 million in 1995. Whereas the
spending level increased in 1997, as a percentage of sales it was 2.3%, which
was consistent with 1996 and slightly lower than in 1995.

The effective tax rate for 1997, including special items, was 42.6%, compared
with 34.4% in 1996 and 38.9% in 1995. The increase in the effective tax rate
resulted from merger transaction expenses, some of which are not tax deductible,
partially offset by the utilization of certain tax benefits recognized on the
sale of its subsidiary Metal Fab Machine Corporation ("Metal Fab"). Excluding
the tax impact of the merger transaction expenses and the sale of Metal Fab, the
effective tax rate was 36.9% for 1997. The tax rate of 34.4% in 1996 was reduced
due to one-time benefits associated with restructuring of certain of the
Company's European entities and significantly higher utilization of tax loss
carry-forwards in the Company's Asia/Pacific and European operations than in the
prior year.

Net earnings, after merger transaction, integration and restructuring expenses
and a gain on sale of Metal Fab ("special items"), were $51.6 million in 1997,
compared with $71.1 million in 1996 and $54.0 million 1995. The related net
earnings per diluted share, after special items, were $1.26 in 1997, compared
with $1.72 per diluted share and $1.30 per diluted share in 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The Company's potentially dilutive common stock equivalents were
immaterial in 1997 and all previous years. Accordingly, diluted earnings per 
share were equal to basic earnings per share for all periods presented.

Earnings before special items were $82.1 million in 1997, compared with $74.1
million in 1996 and $58.4 million in 1995. Earnings per diluted share before
special items were $2.01 in 1997, compared with $1.79 in 1996 and $1.40 in 1995.

Bookings of $1,172.4 million in 1997 compared with $1,141.6 million in 1996 and
$1,013.9 million in 1995. The Company acquired Anchor/Darling Valves in December
1996 and the engineered pump business of Stork Pompen in The Netherlands in
January 1997. These two acquisitions contributed approximately $45 million of
bookings in 1997. In addition, bookings for automated valves and mechanical
seals were stronger in 1997 than 1996. These increases were offset by adverse
effects of foreign exchange translation, which reduced total bookings by
approximately $48 million (or 4%) and weaknesses in the chemical industry in the
second half of the year. Bookings in 1996 exceeded 1995 levels due primarily to
aggressive capital spending by the worldwide processing industries. Petroleum
market original equipment was especially strong in 1996 compared to 1995 (up
30.4% year-over-year) with strength specifically in North America and Europe.

MERGER INTEGRATION PROGRAM

In the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company announced its merger integration
program. This $92.4 million program includes investments of approximately $22.2
million for capital expenditures and approximately $70.2 million for integration
expenses. Of this $70.2 million, $32.6 million was recognized as a one-time
restructuring charge in the fourth quarter of 1997. The balance will be
recognized as incurred over the three-year life of the program, including $7.0
million recorded in the fourth quarter of 1997. The Company's program includes
facility rationalizations in North America and Europe, organizational
realignments at the corporate and division levels, procurement initiatives,
investments in training, and support for the service and repair operations. The
integration program is expected to result in a net reduction of approximately
300 employees at a cost of $22.4 million with an additional 150 employee
reduction due to the divestiture of Metal Fab. In addition, exit costs
associated with the facilities closings are estimated at $10.2 million. The
integration program is expected to be funded through operating cash flows and
available credit facilities. Through December 31, 1997, severance costs of $3.4
million and exit costs of $1.7 million were paid. The remainder of the costs are
expected to be incurred over the life of the program.

The Company believes the program will produce $45-$55 million annually in
operating income at the end of three years. This income is expected to be
produced by eliminating cost redundancies, capturing procurement savings, and
realizing earnings increases from sales synergies.

In addition to the restructuring charge and the integration expenses incurred in
the fourth quarter of 1997, Flowserve also incurred $11.9 million relating to
merger transaction costs. This amount was comprised of severance and other
expenses triggered by the merger and investment banking, accounting, legal, and
other costs required to effect the merger. Also in the fourth quarter of 1997,
the Company sold substantially all the assets of its Metal Fab operation for a
pretax gain of $11.4 million. The gain relating to Metal Fab sale along with all
the merger transaction, restructure and integration expenses comprised the
"special items" the Company highlighted for ease in comparing 1997 to future and
prior periods. In 1996, a $5.8 million restructuring charge was recorded
relating to the consolidation of certain operations in Europe and Asia. In 1995,
a $5.0 million charge was recorded for transaction costs relating to the merger
between Durco and Durametallic.

</TABLE>

Cash flows from operations and financing available under existing credit
agreements are the Company's primary sources of short-term liquidity. Cash flows
from operating activities in 1997 increased to $90.0 million compared with $88.4
million in 1996 and $58.0 million in 1995. The slight increase in cash flows in
1997 was primarily due to increased earnings before non-cash portion of
restructure reserve, offset somewhat by cash outlays related to the merger and
increases in accounts receivable due to strong shipments at the end of 1997. The
increase in cash flows from operations in 1996 over 1995 resulted primarily from
increased earnings and enhanced inventory management.

Cash flows from operations were sufficient to fund capital expenditures of $39.6
million, $35.7 million, and $39.9 million during 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. For each of the three years, capital expenditures were invested in
machinery and equipment, replacements and upgrades. In 1997, the amount
increased over 1996 predominately due to investment in low-cost manufacturing
facilities in India.

The Company's capital structure, consisting of long-term debt and shareholders'
equity, continued to enable the Company to finance short- and long-range
business objectives. At December 31, 1997, total debt was 27.1% of the Company's
capital structure compared to 30.0% at December 31, 1996. The interest coverage
ratio of the Company's indebtedness was 7.8 times interest at December 31, 1997,
compared with 9.9 times interest at December 31, 1996.

The Company has a $150,000 revolving credit agreement with the option to
increase the availability to $200,000. At December 31, 1997, $50,000 was
outstanding. The Company also had other short-term credit facilities with $42.8
million available for borrowing thereunder.

The return on average net assets for 1997, before special items, was 13.7%,
compared with 12.9% for 1996. Including the impact of special items, the return
on average net assets was 9.0% for 1997, compared with 12.5% for 1996. The
return on average shareholder equity, before special items, was 20.4% for 1997,
compared with 19.3% for 1996. Return on average shareholders' equity including
special items was 13.0% for 1997 versus 18.6% for 1996.

The Company will continue to allocate resources to activities consistent with
its core business. Accordingly, in 1997 the Company acquired 100% of its joint
venture in Argentina (previously 51% owned

by the Company) and also acquired the engineered pump business of Stork
Pompen. In addition, the sale of Metal Fab, which generated approximately
$18.8 million in cash and an $11.4 million pretax gain, will allow resources
formerly allocated to that operation to be used in activities more consistent
with Flowserve's core business.

Flowserve believes that cash flow generated by operations and amounts
available under borrowing arrangements will be adequate to fund normal
operating needs, the integration plans, capital expenditures, required debt
payments and dividends through the remainder of the year.

Inflation during the past three years had little impact on the Company's
consolidated financial performance. Foreign currency translation effect did
have a significant impact on the Company's financial performance in 1997 --
reducing bookings, sales, backlog and earnings each by approximately 4%.

YEAR 2000 COSTS

The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's
programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as
the year 1900 rather than the year 2000, which could potentially result in a
major system failure or miscalculations.

Flowserve has conducted a review of its computer systems to identify the
systems that could be affected by the Year 2000 issue. To address this issue,
the Company is developing a plan for a combined approach of upgrade to  Year
2000 compliant systems and code modifications to existing systems. Flowserve
continues to evaluate appropriate courses of corrective action, including
replacement of certain systems. The Company estimates that such costs, to be
charged to expense over the next two years, could be as much as $7 million.
Flowserve presently believes that, with modifications to existing software and
conversions to new software, the Year 2000 issue will not pose a significant
operational problem for the Company's computer systems so modified and
converted. The Company is also developing a plan for the implementation of a
new corporate-wide computer system to provide significant operational benefits
and cost savings to the Company. The cost of a new system, with preliminary
estimates ranging from $60 - $80 million over three years, would generally be
recorded as capitalized assets and amortized over the software's useful life.
Costs to address the Year 2000 issue and for a new system would be funded
through a combination of operating cash flows and funds available under
borrowing arrangements.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No.128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS No.128), which established standards for
computing and presenting earnings per share. SFAS 128 requires dual
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the income
statement and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of
the basic earnings per share computation to the numerator and denominator of
the diluted earnings per share computation. The Company's potentially dilutive
common stock equivalents were immaterial in 1997 and all previous years.
Accordingly, diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share
and is presented on the same line for income statement presentation.

In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board also issued SFAS No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income," SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information," and SFAS No. 132, "Employers'
Disclosure about Pensions and Other Post Retirement Benefits." All three
standards are effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997. These
standards modify or expand current disclosure requirements and, accordingly,
are not expected to impact Flowserve's reported financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows. The Company is assessing the impact of SFAS No. 131
on its reporting segments.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

This document contains various forward-looking statements and includes
assumptions about the Company's future market conditions, operations, and
results. These statements are based on current expectations and are subject to
significant risks and uncertainties. They are made pursuant to safe harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Among the
many factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements are: further changes in the already competitive
environment for the Company's products or competitors' responses to the
Company's strategies; political risks or trade embargoes affecting important
country markets; foreign currency fluctuations; continued economic turmoil in
Asian markets; and prolonged periods where the price of oil is below
historical levels. Net earnings for future periods are uncertain and dependent
on general worldwide economic conditions in the Company's major markets and
their strong impact on the level of incoming business activity.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data.)


NOTE 1

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions have been eliminated. Investments in unconsolidated affiliated
companies, which represent all non-majority ownership interests, are carried on
the equity basis, which approximates the Company's equity interest in their
underlying net book value.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Business combinations which have been accounted for under the pooling of
interests method of accounting combine the assets, liabilities, and
stockholders' equity of the acquired entity with the Company's respective
accounts at recorded values. Prior period financial statements have been
restated to give effect to the transactions as if they occurred at the beginning
of all periods presented.

Business combinations which have been accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting include the results of operations of the acquired business from the
date of acquisition. Net assets of the companies acquired are recorded at their
fair value to the Company at the date of acquisition and any excess of purchase
price over fair value is recorded as goodwill.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash equivalents represent short-term investments with an original maturity of
three months or less when purchased which are highly liquid with principal
values not subject to significant risk of change due to interest rate
fluctuations.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable are stated net of the allowance for doubtful accounts of
$5,059 and $4,826 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower-of-cost or market. Cost is determined for
certain inventories by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method and for other
inventories by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Gains and losses on hedges of existing assets or liabilities are included in the
carrying amounts of those assets or liabilities and are ultimately recognized in
income as part of those carrying amounts. Gains and losses related to hedges of
anticipated transactions are recognized in income as the transactions occur.

The carrying amounts in the Company's financial instruments approximate fair
value as defined under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments." Fair value is
estimated by reference to quoted prices by financial institutions.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION

Property, plant and equipment are stated on the basis of cost. Depreciation is
computed by the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the
depreciable assets for financial statement purposes and by accelerated methods
for income tax purposes. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as
follows:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                  <C>  
Buildings, improvements, furniture and fixtures      5 to 35 years
Machinery and equipment                              3 to 12 years
Capital leases                                       5 to 25 years
</TABLE>

INTANGIBLES

Excess cost over the fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill) generally is
amortized on a straight-line basis over 15-40 years. The carrying value of
goodwill will be reviewed if the facts and circumstances suggest that it may be
impaired. If this review indicates that goodwill will not be recoverable, as



FLOWSERVE 1997 ANNUAL REPORT                                                  23
<PAGE>   26
determined based on the undiscounted cash flows of the entity acquired over the
remaining amortization period, the Company's carrying value of the goodwill will
be adjusted accordingly. Intangibles are stated net of accumulated amortization
of $5,266 and $5,079 as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

HEDGING/FORWARD CONTRACTS

The Company is party to forward contracts for purposes of hedging certain
transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The Company has a
risk-management and derivatives policy statement outlining the conditions in
which the Company can enter into hedging or forward transactions. No foreign
exchange or financial derivative product above $5,000 can be entered into
without executive management's approval. Gains and losses on forward contracts
qualifying as hedges are deferred and included in the measurement of the related
foreign currency transaction. The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in
the event of nonperformance by counterparties to financial instruments, but it
expects all counterparties to meet their obligations given their high credit
ratings. As of December 31, 1997, the Company had no significant outstanding
hedges or forward contracts with third parties.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign affiliates, other than those
located in highly inflationary countries, are translated at current exchange
rates, while income and expenses are translated at average rates for the period.
For entities in highly inflationary countries, a combination of current and
historical rates is used to determine currency gains and losses resulting from
financial statement translation and those resulting from transactions.
Translation gains and losses are reported as a component of shareholders'
equity, except for those associated with highly inflationary countries, which
are reported directly in the consolidated statements of income.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenues and costs are generally recognized as units are shipped. Progress
billings are generally shown as a reduction of inventory unless such billings
are in excess of accumulated costs, in which case, such balances are included in
accrued liabilities.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company follows Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25), and related interpretations in accounting
for its employee stock options. Under APB No. 25, no compensation expense is
recorded if the exercise price of the Company's stock options equals the market
price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Accordingly, the Company has
no compensation expense recorded. Note 4 reflects the estimated impact on
earnings per share as if the Company had used the fair value accounting as
provided under SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation."

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company places its temporary cash investments with financial institutions
and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial
institution. Credit risk is also limited due to the large number of customers
comprising the Company's customer base, the Company's diverse product line and
the dispersion of the Company's customers across many different geographic
regions. As of December 31, 1997, the Company does not believe that it had
significant concentrations of credit risk.

BASIS OF COMPARISON

Certain amounts in 1996 and 1995 have been reclassified or restated to conform
with the 1997 presentation.

NOTE 2

MERGER

On July 22, 1997, shareholders of Durco International Inc. (Durco) and BW/IP,
Inc. (BW/IP) voted to approve a merger between Durco and BW/IP in a
stock-for-stock merger of equals that was accounted for as a pooling of
interests transaction (the "merger"). As part of the merger agreement, the
Company changed its name from Durco to Flowserve Corporation. The Company issued
approximately 16,914,000 shares of common stock in connection with the merger.
BW/IP shareholders received .6968 shares of the Company's common stock for each
previously owned share of BW/IP stock.

The consolidated financial statements, including the accompanying notes thereto,
have been restated for all periods prior to the merger to include the financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows of BW/IP and Durco as if the
merger had occurred at the beginning of all periods presented.

In connection with the merger, the Company recorded a one-time charge of $11,900
for merger-related expenses in 1997. These expenses included severance and other
expenses triggered by the merger and investment banking fees, legal fees, and
other costs related to the merger, which are primarily non-deductible for tax
purposes.

In the fourth quarter, the Company announced its merger integration program.
This $92,400 program includes investments of approximately $22,200 for capital
expenditures and approximately $70,200 for integration expenses. Of this
$70,200, $32,600 was recognized as a one-time restructuring charge in the fourth
quarter of 1997, $7,000 was recognized as an integration expense in the fourth
quarter of 1997, and the balance will be recognized as incurred over the
three-year life of the program. The program includes facility rationalizations
in North America and Europe, organizational realignments at the corporate and
division levels, procurement initiatives, investments in training, and support
for the service and repair operations. The integration program is expected to
result in a net reduction of approximately 300 employees at the cost of $22,400.
In addition, exit costs associated with the facilities closings are estimated at
$10,200. Through December 31, 1997, the Company paid $3,400 for severance of
approximately 50 employees and $1,700 for other exit costs.

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

In 1997, the Company purchased the 49% remaining shares of its joint venture in
Argentina, Byron Jackson Argentina I.C.S.A. and purchased the engineered pump
business of Stork Pompen, B.V. In 1996, the Company acquired certain assets and
liabilities of Anchor/Darling Valves. In 1995, the Company purchased Pac-Seal
and two affiliated companies and certain product lines of Wilson-Snyder. These
acquisitions did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated
financial position or results of operations. In 1995, the Company exchanged
approximately 5,345,000 shares of common stock for all outstanding shares of
Durametallic. The merger was accounted for under the pooling of interests method
of accounting.

In 1997, the Company sold its wholly owned subsidiary Metal Fab Machine
Corporation ("Metal Fab") for $18,793 resulting in a pretax gain of $11,376.
Metal Fab had approximately 150 employees. In addition, in 1997, the Company
sold its Filtration Systems Division ("FSD"). The sale of FSD did not have a
significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results
of operations.

Note 4

STOCK PLANS

The Company maintains a shareholder approved stock option plan, which provides
for the grant of 1,500,000 options to purchase shares of the Company's common
stock. At December 31, 1997, approximately 1,233,000 options remain available
for grant. Options have been granted to officers and employees to purchase
shares of common stock at a price not less than the fair market value at the
date of grant. Generally, these options, whether granted from the current or
prior plans, become exercisable over staggered periods, but may not be exercised
after 10 years from the date of the grant. The plan provides that any option may
include a stock appreciation right, however, none have been granted since 1989.
The aggregate number of shares exercisable was 1,707,677 at December 31, 1997,
915,509 at December 31, 1996 and 741,490 at December 31, 1995.

Pro forma information regarding net earnings and earnings per share is required
by SFAS No. 123, which also requires that the information be determined as if
the Company had accounted for its stock options granted subsequent to December
31, 1994 under the fair value method of that Statement. The "fair value" for
these options at the date of grant was estimated using a binomial option pricing
model (a modified Black-Scholes model). The range of assumptions used in this
valuation:

The options granted had a weighted average "fair value" per share on date of
grant of $10.69 in 1997, $10.42 in 1996, and $10.68 in 1995. For purposes of pro
forma disclosure, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to
expense over the options vesting periods. The Company's pro forma information
follows (in thousands except for per share information):

</TABLE>

Because the determination of the fair value of all options granted includes an
expected volatility factor and, because additional option grants are expected to
be made each year, the above pro forma disclosures are not representative of pro
forma effects for future years. The restricted stock plan approved by
shareholders authorized the grant of up to 337,500 shares of the Company's
common stock. In general, the shares cannot be transferred for a period of at
least one but not more than ten years and are subject to forfeiture during the
restriction period. The fair value of the shares is amortized to compensation
expense over the periods in which the restrictions lapse. Restricted stock
grants were 21,700 shares in 1997, 29,900 shares in 1996 and 4,100 shares in
1995. The weighted average fair value of the restricted stock grants at date of
grant was $27.73 in 1997, $25.84 in 1996, and $22.28 in 1995. Total compensation
expense recognized in the income statement for all stock based awards was $510
in 1997, $584 in 1996, and $193 in 1995.

In 1997, the Company entered into a $150,000 revolving credit agreement with the
option to increase up to $200,000. As of December 31, 1997, $50,000 was
outstanding. This facility will be used to provide for future capital needs and
general corporate purposes.

The 8.94% loan is a U.S. dollar private placement which was effectively
converted to a deutsche mark obligation through a currency swap agreement. The
currency swap is a hedge of the net investment in a German subsidiary.
Unrealized gains and losses on the hedge are not recognized in income, but are
shown in the cumulative translation adjustment account included in shareholders'
equity with the related amounts due to and from the counterparty included in
long-term debt. The maturity and repayment terms of the swap match precisely the
maturity and repayment term of the underlying debt. In addition, during 1996,
the Company entered into swap agreements to fix an interest rate of 7.04% for 10
years on $50,000 usage of the revolving credit.

In 1992, the Company issued $50,000 Senior Notes requiring annual payments of
$8,333 through 1999, bearing interest of 7.92%, of which $16,667 was outstanding
at December 31, 1997. In 1996, the Company issued $30,000 Senior Notes requiring
annual principal payments of $6,000 commencing in 2002 bearing interest of
7.14%. In 1997, the Company issued $20,000 in Senior Notes, bearing interest of
7.17% with principal payments of $4,000 due annually, commencing in 2003.

The provisions of the credit agreements require the Company to meet or exceed
specified financial covenants that are defined in the agreements. The agreements
also contain limitations or restrictions relating to new indebtedness and liens,
disposition of assets, and payment of dividends or other distributions. Under
the covenants, approximately $80,611 of consolidated retained earnings were
unrestricted for the payment of dividends at December 31, 1997. All such
covenants were met in each of the years presented. The most restrictive of these
include a debt to capital ratio and a minimum tangible net worth requirement.

At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company had short-term credit facilities
available from banks under which it could borrow, at local market rates, up to
$61,521 and $59,641, respectively. Under these facilities, the Company had
borrowings outstanding of $5,644 at December 31, 1997 and $5,784 at December 31,
1996. The weighted average interest rate on these borrowings at December 31,
1997 and 1996 was 4.8% and 4.3%, respectively. In both years, these borrowings
were used primarily to support the operations of foreign subsidiaries.

As of December 31, 1997, the Company had $12,993 of contingent obligations
relating to bank guarantees and performance bonds outstanding.

Undistributed earnings of the Company's non-United States subsidiaries amounted
to approximately $145,000 at December 31, 1997. These earnings are considered to
be indefinitely reinvested and, accordingly, no additional United States income
taxes or non-U.S. withholding taxes have been provided. Determination of the
amount of additional taxes that would be payable if such earnings were not
considered indefinitely reinvested is not practical.

NOTE 7

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

In 1997 the Company increased its authorized $1.25 par value common stock from
60,000,000 to 120,000,000 shares. The authorized shares were increased in
connection with the merger of Durco and BW/IP resulting in the formation of
Flowserve Corporation. At both December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company had
authorized 1,000,000 shares of $1.00 par value preferred stock.

Each share of the Company's common stock contains a preferred stock purchase
right. These rights are not currently exercisable and trade in tandem with the
common stock. The rights, in general, become exercisable and trade separately in
the event of certain significant changes in common stock ownership or on the
commencement of certain tender offers which in either case, may lead to a change
of control of the Company. Upon becoming exercisable, the rights provide
shareholders the opportunity to acquire a new series of Company preferred stock
to be then automatically issued at a pre-established price. In the event of
certain forms of acquisition of the Company, the rights also provide Company
shareholders the opportunity to purchase shares of the acquiring company's
common stock from the acquirer at a 50% discount from the current market value.
The rights are redeemable for $.022 per right by the Company at any time prior
to becoming exercisable and will expire in August, 2006.

At December 31, 1997, approximately 3,643,000 shares of common stock were
reserved for exercise of stock options and for grants of restricted stock.

NOTE 8

RETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Company sponsors several noncontributory defined benefit pension plans,
covering approximately 60% of domestic employees, which provide benefits based
on years of service and compensation. Retirement benefits for all other
employees are provided through defined contribution pension plans and government
sponsored retirement programs. All defined benefit pension plans are funded
based on independent actuarial valuations to provide for current service and an
amount sufficient to amortize unfunded prior service over periods not to exceed
thirty years.

Net defined benefit pension expense was comprised as follows:

Plan assets include marketable equity securities, corporate and government debt
securities, insurance company contracts and real estate. The long-term rate of
return on assets ranged between 8.0% and 10.0% in 1995.

The Company sponsors several defined contribution pension plans covering
substantially all domestic and Canadian employees and certain other foreign
employees. Employees may contribute to these plans and these contributions are
matched in varying amounts by the Company. The Company may also make additional
contributions for eligible employees. Defined contribution pension expense for
the Company was $7,733 in 1997, $6,903 in 1996, and $6,766 in 1995.

The Company also sponsors several defined benefit postretirement health care
plans covering approximately 73% of future retirees and most current retirees in
the United States. These medical and dental benefits are provided through
insurance companies and health maintenance organizations, include participant
contributions, deductibles, co-insurance provisions and other limitations, and
are integrated with Medicare and other group plans. The plans are funded as
insured benefits and health maintenance organization premiums are incurred.

Net postretirement benefit expense was comprised as follows:

</TABLE>

The assumed ranges for the annual rates of increase in per capita costs for
periods prior to Medicare were 7.5%-8.5% for 1997 with a gradual decrease to
6.0% for 2002 and future years and, for periods after Medicare, 7.5% for 1997
with a gradual decrease to 5.0% for 2000 and future years.

Increasing the assumed rate of increase in postretirement benefit costs by 1% in
each year would increase net postretirement benefit expense by approximately
$307 and accumulated postretirement benefit obligations by $4,046.

CONTINGENCIES

As of December 31, 1997, the Company was involved as a "potentially responsible
party" (PRP) at five former public waste disposal sites which may be subject to
remediation under pending government procedures. The sites are in various stages
of evaluation by federal and state environmental authorities. The projected cost
of remediating these sites, as well as the Company's alleged "fair share"
allocation, is uncertain and speculative until all studies have been completed
and the parties have either negotiated an amicable resolution or the matter has
been judicially resolved. At each site, there are many other parties who have
similarly been identified, and the identification and location of additional
parties is continuing under applicable federal or state law. Many of the other
parties identified are financially strong and solvent companies which appear
able to pay their share of the remediation costs. Based on the Company's
preliminary information about the waste disposal practices at these sites and
the environmental regulatory process in general, the Company believes that it is
likely that ultimate remediation liability costs for each site will be
apportioned among all liable parties, including site owners and waste
transporters, according to the volumes and/or toxicity of the wastes shown to
have been disposed of at the sites.

The Company is a defendant in numerous pending lawsuits (which include, in many
cases, multiple claimants) which seek to recover damages for alleged personal
injury allegedly resulting from exposure to asbestos-containing products
formerly manufactured and distributed by the Company. All such products were
used within self-contained process equipment, and management does not believe
that there was any emission of ambient asbestos fiber during the use of this
equipment.

The Company is also a defendant in several other products liability lawsuits
which are insured, subject to the applicable deductibles, and certain other
non-insured lawsuits received in the ordinary course of business. Management
believes that the company has adequately accrued estimated losses for such
lawsuits. No insurance recovery has been projected for any of the insured claims
because management

currently believes that all will be resolved within applicable deductibles. The
Company is also a party to other non-insured litigation which is incidental to
its business and which, in management's opinion, will be resolved without a
material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Although none of the aforementioned gives rise to any additional liability that
can now be reasonably estimated, the Company believes such costs will be
immaterial. The Company will continue to evaluate these contingent loss
exposures and, if they develop, recognize expense as soon as such losses can be
reasonably estimated.

OPERATIONS IDENTIFIED BY GEOGRAPHIC AREA

The Company operates in predominately one business segment, flow management.

Revenues by geographic location exclude intercompany sales. Transfers between
geographic areas are accounted for primarily at cost plus a profit margin.
Operating income consists of revenues less certain costs and expenses. In
determining operating income none of the following items have been added or
deducted: interest expense, other income, gain on sale of subsidiary and income
taxes. Identifiable assets are those assets of the Company that are identifiable
with the operations in each geographic area.

No individual geographic segment within the below listed geographic segments
represents 10% or more of the consolidated Company's revenues from sales to
unaffiliated customers or its identifiable assets. The Other geographic segment
includes Canada, Latin America and the Asia Pacific.

Export sales from the United States to foreign unaffiliated customers were
$146,704 in 1997, $140,842 in 1996 and $95,768 in 1995.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Flowserve Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Flowserve
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the related
consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We did not audit the 1996 and 1995 financial statements of BW/IP,
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, which statements reflect total assets
constituting 49% of the related consolidated total as of December 31, 1996, and
total revenues constituting 45% and 46% of the related totals for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Those statements were audited by
other auditors whose report thereon dated January 28, 1997 has been furnished to
us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to data included for BW/IP, Inc., is
based solely on the report of the other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the consolidated financial position of Flowserve Corporation and subsidiaries at
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT

The Company's management is responsible for preparation of the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. These statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and include amounts
that are based on management's best estimates and business judgment. Management
maintains a system of internal controls, which in management's opinion provides
reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and transactions properly
recorded and executed in accordance with management's authorization. The
internal control system is supported by internal audits and is tested and
evaluated by the independent accountants in connection with their annual audit.
The Board of Directors pursues its responsibility for financial information
through an Audit and Finance Committee comprised entirely of independent
directors. This committee regularly meets not only with management, but also
separately with representatives of the independent accountants.
