NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
QUARTER ENDED JULY 29, 1995
(1) The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements
are unaudited, and it is suggested that these consolidated
statements be read in conjunction with the fiscal 1995 Annual
Report, including Notes to Financial Statements. However, it
is the opinion of the Company that all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
statement of the results during the interim period have been
included.
(2) See Index to Financial Statements and Supporting Schedules on
page 1. Those pages of the Angelica Corporation and
Subsidiaries Quarterly Report to Shareholders for the quarter
ended July 29, 1995, listed in such index are incorporated
herein by reference. The pages of the Quarterly Report to
Shareholders which are not listed on the index and therefore
not incorporated herein by reference are furnished for the

(3) For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the
Company considers short-term, highly liquid investments which
are readily convertible into cash, as cash equivalents.
Cash payments for income taxes were $4,476,000 and $5,652,000
in the first half of fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively; and
in these periods interest payments were $3,902,000 and

Combined sales and rental service revenues increased 3.1 percent in the
second quarter ended July 29, 1995 and 4.4 percent in the first half of
this year compared with prior year periods, in both cases the result of
acquisitions made over the last year. In the Rental Services segment,
revenues rose 6.7 percent and gross profit dropped slightly as margins were
adversely affected by operating or cost control problems in six of the
segment's 36 plants. Second quarter sales of the Manufacturing and
Marketing segment decreased 1.7 percent compared with the same quarter last
year, and gross profit declined 1.9 percent. In the domestic operations
of this segment, sales to the health care markets were about the same as
last year but sales to hospitality markets were well below last year's
levels. Second quarter results of the Canadian and United Kingdom
operations showed good improvement over last year. In the Life Retail
Stores segment, second quarter sales increased 7.2 percent as a result of
a 5.7 percent increase in same-store sales together with volume from
acquisitions made since last year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1,067,000 or 4.7
percent in the second quarter compared with the same period last year, with
most of the increase being the result of acquisitions. Interest expense
was $374,000 higher in the quarter as a result of the $30,000,000 private
placement long-term financing completed, as previously announced, at the
beginning of the second quarter.

Financial Condition
- -------------------
The Company had working capital of $183,057,000 and a current ratio of 5.2
to 1 at July 29, 1995, up from $156,528,000 and 3.8 to 1 a year ago and
compared with $150,734,000 and 3.2 to 1 at the beginning of the year. The
increase in second quarter working capital and current ratio were
principally the result of repayment of all short-term debt with funds
received from the previously mentioned long-term financing. The ratio of
long-term debt to debt-plus-equity was 33.1 percent at the close of the
second quarter, compared with 26.2 percent at the beginning of the year and
26.8 percent a year ago.
Operating activities provided a total cash flow of $6,314,000 in the first
half compared with $8,885,000 in the first half last year, with most of the
difference being due to increased requirements for working capital and
other long-term assets. Uses of cash flow included $4,274,000 for capital
expenditures and $3,844,000 for acquisitions. Financing activities reflect
the issuance of long-term debt of $30,000,000 offset by the repayment of
short-term debt and the payment of dividends. No material change in the
Company's future aggregate cash requirements is foreseen at the present
time.
Based on the Company's cash generation from operations, as well as its
strong working capital position, current ratio and ratio of long-term debt
to debt-plus-equity, Management believes that internal funds available from
operations plus external funds available from the issuance of additional
debt and/or equity as needed in the future, will be sufficient for all
planned operating and capital requirements, including acquisitions.

Exhibit A
ANGELICA
CORPORATION
August 17, 1995
Dear Shareholder:
After seven consecutive quarters of earnings increases compared with the
comparable prior period, we are disappointed to report second quarter
earnings dropped below earnings of the same quarter last year. Combined
sales and rental service revenues for the second quarter were $121,860,000,
up 3.1 percent from $118,192,000 in last year's second quarter. Excluding
acquisitions made since the second quarter of last year, combined sales and
rental service revenues in the quarter dropped by 1.6 percent. Pretax
income of $4,303,000 compared with $5,177,000 in the prior year, and net
income of $2,646,000 decreased 16.9 percent from $3,184,000 in the
comparable prior period. Net income per share was $.29 versus $.35 in the
second quarter of last year, a decrease of 17.1 percent.
Combined sales and rental service revenues for the first half of this year
increased 4.4 percent to $245,687,000, versus $235,247,000 in last year's
first half. Excluding acquisitions, combined sales and rental service
revenues for the first half of the year were essentially flat to last year.
Income before taxes was $9,893,000, which compared with $10,291,000 in the
first six months of last year, and net income dropped 3.9 percent to
$6,084,000 versus $6,329,000 in the same period last year. In the first
half of this year, earnings per share were $.67, a decrease of 4.3 percent
from last year's $.70.
A significant second quarter earnings improvement by our smallest business
segment, Life Retail Stores, was more than offset by second quarter
earnings declines in the Rental Services and the Manufacturing and
Marketing segments. For the first half of the year, earnings gains in the
Manufacturing and Marketing and the Retail Store segments were offset by
a decline in earnings from the Rental Services segment.
Revenues of the Rental Services segment increased 6.7 percent in the second
quarter, with most of that increase being the result of acquisitions made
last year. The percentage decline in earnings for the second quarter was
slightly greater than the decline in the first quarter and was principally
the result of poor performance by a small group of our plants. Health
care markets continue to be in a condition of uncertainty caused by the
many changes taking place there, which is limiting revenue growth, but
margins seem to be stabilizing, although they continue to be under extreme
pressure. Second quarter results were adversely affected by abnormal
operating problems in six of the 36 plants operated by the Rental Services
segment and by the loss of a large Las Vegas non-health care customer
effective July 1, 1995. The operating or cost problems in the six
underperforming plants were of several types and varied from plant to
plant. All are being addressed by greater top management scrutiny,
including certain management changes at the plant level. Our experience
has been that operating or cost problems of the type currently existing
normally can be corrected over a period of a few months, and in fact, we
saw some improvement in July compared with the two previous months.
Results of this business segment during the last half of the year are
expected to improve compared with the results of the first half of this
year.
In the Manufacturing and Marketing segment, second quarter sales decreased
by 1.7 percent and earnings were much lower than the same period last year.
Most of the lower sales volume occurred at Angelica Uniform Group, this
segment's domestic operation. In fact, operating results improved in both
Canada and the United Kingdom, but not enough to offset the drop in
earnings in the United

States. Second quarter incoming orders from our health care markets were
about even with last year, but orders from the hospitality markets softened
considerably in the quarter and were well below the second quarter of last
year when several new custom uniform programs were being implemented.
There were no new programs of comparable size in the second quarter this
year. Through the first half, Angelica Uniform Group's shipments were
essentially flat, and it had a slight decline in earnings compared with last
year. Management is not satisfied with this performance and has taken steps to
improve it. One of the segment's eleven major domestic factories has been
closed, and a significant permanent layoff is being made at another. In
addition, it has undergone a management restructuring through the formation
of a Management Committee to run the business under the leadership of
Lawrence J. Young, Chairman and President of Angelica Corporation. Mr.
Young, who was President of this segment from 1982 to 1989, has increased
significantly his involvement in the day-to-day operations until he is
satisfied its results are improving at a more rapid rate than are currently
being realized. The remainder of the Committee will include Gene P. Byrd,
President of the Manufacturing and Marketing segment, plus certain key
department heads. The Committee's objective will be to consider new sales
initiatives and ways to reduce manufacturing and operating costs to help
this segment improve its performance. During July, the custom uniform
business of Ottenheimer & Company, Chicago, was purchased, which will
provide this business segment with approximately $9,000,000 of additional
annual sales volume. This acquisition is expected to have a modest
positive effect on results for the last half of the year. The
Manufacturing and Marketing segment's last half results are expected to
improve over the comparable period last year.
The Life Retail Stores segment continued to produce excellent sales and
earnings gains in the second quarter. During the quarter, sales increased
at a rate of 7.2 percent, including a same-store sales increase of 5.7
percent over the same period last year, more than double the 2.7 percent
same-store sales increase posted in the first quarter this year. Earnings
for the second quarter were excellent, rising at a greater percentage rate
than in the first quarter this year. During the first half of this year,
Life Stores acquired two stores and opened one, and this segment ended the
period with 266 stores in operation versus 263 last year. Life Stores
continues to benefit from hospitals discontinuing the purchase of uniforms
for their employees and sending them to retail stores to purchase their
own. This segment also continues to be on track to post its ninth
consecutive year of record earnings.
After what was a pretty good first quarter, we were very disappointed with
our second quarter results, as both of our larger business segments did not
perform as expected. We believe the actions that have been taken in both
of these business segments will cause them to have improved second half
results. While it is difficult to estimate at this time, results for the
full year are still expected to exceed slightly the prior year. As was
stated in our first quarter report, the continuing changes taking place in
the health care market will moderate our opportunity for significant growth
in the near term, but we do expect to see growth. We also continue to
believe the fundamentals of all of our businesses remain sound, and while
specific steps have needed to be taken to improve results in the near term,
we are still optimistic about the long-term prospects of each of our
businesses.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ Lawrence J. Young

Chairman of the Board and President

NOTE AGREEMENT
Re: $30,000,000 8.225% Senior Notes
Due May 1, 2006
---------------
Dated as of
March 1, 1995
To the Purchaser named in Schedule I
hereto which is a signatory of this
Agreement
Gentlemen:
The undersigned, ANGELICA CORPORATION, a Missouri corporation (the
"Company"), agrees with you as follows:
SECTION 1. DESCRIPTION OF NOTES AND COMMITMENT.
Section 1.1. Description of Notes. The Company will authorize
the issue and sale of $30,000,000 aggregate principal amount of
its 8.225% Senior Notes (the "Notes") to be dated the date of
issue, to bear interest from such date at the rate of 8.225% per
annum, payable quarterly on the first day of each February, May,
August and November in each year (commencing August 1, 1995) and
at maturity and to bear interest on overdue principal (including
any overdue required or optional prepayment of principal) and
premium, if any, and (to the extent legally enforceable) on any
overdue installment of interest at the Overdue Rate after the due
date, whether by acceleration or otherwise, until paid, to be
expressed to mature on May 1, 2006, and to be substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Interest on the Notes
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months. The Notes are not subject to prepayment or redemption at
the option of the Company prior to their expressed maturity dates
except on the terms and conditions and in the amounts and with
the premium, if any, set forth in Sec. 2 of this Agreement. The
term "Notes" as used herein shall include each Note delivered
pursuant to this Agreement and the separate agreements with the
other purchasers named in Schedule I. You and the other
purchasers named in Schedule I are hereinafter sometimes referred
to collectively as the "Purchasers".
Section 1.2. Commitment, Closing Date. Subject to the terms
and conditions hereof and on the basis of the representations and
warranties hereinafter set forth, the Company agrees to issue and
sell to you, and you agree to purchase from the Company, Notes in
the principal amount set forth opposite your name on Schedule I
hereto at a price of 100% of the principal amount thereof on the
Closing Date hereafter mentioned.
<PAGE> 5
Delivery of the Notes will be made at the offices of Chapman
and Cutler, 111 West Monroe Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603,
against payment therefor in Federal Reserve or other funds
current and immediately available at the principal office of The
Boatmen's National Bank of St. Louis, 800 Market Street, St.
Louis, Missouri 63101, in the amount of the purchase price at
10:00 A.M., St. Louis time, on May 1, 1995 or such later date as
shall mutually be agreed upon by the Company and the Purchasers
(the "Closing Date"). The Notes delivered to you on the Closing
Date will be delivered to you in the form of a single registered
Note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A for the full amount
of your purchase (unless different denominations are specified by
you), registered in your name or in the name of your nominee, all
as you may specify at any time prior to the date fixed for
delivery.
Section 1.3. Other Agreements. Simultaneously with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company is entering
into similar agreements with the other Purchasers under which
such other Purchasers agree to purchase from the Company the
principal amount of Notes set opposite such Purchasers' names in
Schedule I, and your obligation and the obligations of the
Company hereunder are subject to the execution and delivery of
the similar agreements by the other Purchasers. This Agreement
and said similar agreements with the other Purchasers are herein
collectively referred to as the "Agreements". The obligations of
each Purchaser shall be several and not joint and no Purchaser
shall be liable or responsible for the acts of any other
Purchaser.
SECTION 2. PREPAYMENT OF NOTES.
No prepayment of the Notes may be made except to the extent
and in the manner expressly provided in this Agreement.
<TABLE>
Section 2.1. Required Prepayments. The Company agrees that on
May 1 in each of the years set forth in the table below, it will
prepay and apply and there shall become due and payable on the
principal indebtedness evidenced by the Notes the lesser of (i)
the amount set opposite such year in the table below or (ii) the
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding:
<CAPTION>
YEAR PRINCIPAL
(MAY 1) PREPAYMENT
<S> <C>
2002 $ 4,000,000
2005 $14,000,000
</TABLE>
The entire remaining principal amount of the Notes shall become
due and payable on May 1, 2006. No premium shall be payable in
connection with any required prepayment made pursuant to this
Sec. 2.1.
In the event that the Company shall prepay less than all of the
Notes pursuant to Sec. 2.2 hereof, the amounts of the prepayments
required by this Sec. 2.1 shall be reduced by an amount which is the
same percentage of such required prepayment as the percentage that the
-2-
<PAGE> 6
principal amount of Notes prepaid pursuant to Sec. 2.2 is of the aggregate
principal amount of outstanding Notes immediately prior to such prepayment.
Section 2.2. Optional Prepayments. In addition to the
payments required by Sec. 2.1, upon compliance with Sec. 2.3, the
Company shall have the privilege, at any time and from time to
time of prepaying the outstanding Notes, either in whole or in
part (but if in part then in a minimum principal amount of
$100,000) by payment of the principal amount of the Notes, or
portion thereof to be prepaid, and accrued interest thereon to
the date of such prepayment, together with a premium equal to the
Make-Whole Amount, determined as of two Business Days prior to
the date of such prepayment pursuant to this Sec. 2.2, if such
prepayment is made prior to May 1, 2005 and without a premium if
such prepayment is made on or after May 1, 2005.
Section 2.3. Notice of Optional Prepayments. The Company will
give notice of any prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Sec. 2.2 to
each holder thereof not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days
before the date fixed for such optional prepayment specifying (a)
such date, (b) the principal amount of the holder's Notes to be
prepaid on such date and (c) the accrued interest applicable to
the prepayment. Such notice shall also specify (1) that a
premium may be payable, (2) the date when such premium will be
calculated, and (3) the estimated premium. Such notice of
prepayment shall also certify all facts, if any, which are
conditions precedent to any such prepayment. Notice of
prepayment having been so given, the aggregate principal amount
of the Notes specified in such notice, together with accrued
interest thereon and the premium, if any, payable with respect
thereto shall become due and payable on the prepayment date
specified in said notice. Two Business Days prior to the
prepayment date specified in such notice, the Company shall
provide each holder of a Note written notice of the premium, if
any, payable in connection with such prepayment and, whether or
not any premium is payable, a reasonably detailed computation of
the Make-Whole Amount.
Section 2.4. Application of Prepayments. All partial
prepayments shall be applied on all outstanding Notes ratably in
accordance with the unpaid principal amounts thereof.
Section 2.5. Direct Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement or the Notes, in the case of
any Note owned by you or your nominee or owned by any subsequent
Institutional Holder which has given written notice to the
Company requesting that the provisions of this Sec. 2.5 shall
apply, the Company will punctually pay when due the principal
thereof, interest thereon and premium, if any, due with respect
to said principal, without any presentment thereof, directly to
you, to your nominee or to such subsequent Institutional Holder
at your address or your nominee's address set forth in Schedule I
hereto or such other address as you, your nominee or such
subsequent Institutional Holder may from time to time designate
in writing to the Company or, if a bank account with a United
States bank is designated for you or your nominee on Schedule I
hereto or in any written notice to the Company from you, from
your nominee or from any such subsequent Institutional Holder,
the Company will make such payments in immediately available
funds to such bank account, marked for attention as indicated, or
in such other manner or to such other account in any United
States bank as you, your nominee or any such subsequent
Institutional Holder may from time to time direct in writing.

SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS.
Section 3.1. Representations of the Company. The Company
represents and warrants that all representations and warranties
set forth in Exhibit B are true and correct as of the date hereof
and are incorporated herein by reference with the same force and
effect as though herein set forth in full.
Section 3.2. Representations of the Purchaser. (a) You
represent, and in entering into this Agreement the Company
understands, that you are acquiring the Notes for the purpose of
investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and
that you have no present intention of selling, negotiating or
otherwise disposing of the Notes; it being understood, however,
that the disposition of your property shall at all times be and
remain within your control. Without limiting the foregoing, you
agree that you will only reoffer or resell the Notes purchased by
you under this Agreement in accordance with any available
exemption from the requirements of Section 5 of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and, in any event, in accordance with
any applicable state Securities laws.
(b) You further represent that either: (1) you are
acquiring the Notes with assets from your general account and not
with the assets of any separate account in which any employee
benefit plan has any interest; (2) no part of the funds to be
used by you to purchase the Notes constitutes assets allocated to
any separate account maintained by you such that the application
of such funds constitutes a prohibited transaction under
Section 406 of ERISA; or (3) all or a part of such funds
constitute assets of one or more separate accounts, trusts or a
commingled pension trust maintained by you, and you have
disclosed to the Company the names of such employee benefit plans
whose assets in such separate account or accounts or pension
trusts exceed 10% of the total assets or are expected to exceed
10% of the total assets of such account or accounts or trusts as
of the date of such purchase and the Company has advised you in
writing (and in making the representations set forth in this
clause (3) you are relying on such advice) that the Company is
not a party-in-interest nor are the Notes employer securities
with respect to the particular employee benefit plan disclosed to
the Company by you as aforesaid (for the purpose of this clause
(3), all employee benefit plans maintained by the same employer
or employee organization are deemed to be a single plan). As
used in this Sec. 3.2(b), the terms "separate account", "party-in-
interest", "employer securities" and "employee benefit plan"
shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in ERISA.
SECTION 4. CLOSING CONDITIONS.
Section 4.1. Conditions. Your obligation to purchase the
Notes on the Closing Date shall be subject to the performance by
the Company of its agreements hereunder which by the terms hereof
are to be performed at or prior to the time of delivery of the
Notes and to the following further conditions precedent:
(a) Closing Certificate. You shall have received a certificate
dated the Closing Date, signed by the President or a Vice President
of the Company, the truth and accuracy of which shall be a condition
to your obligation to purchase the Notes proposed to be sold to
you and to the effect that (1) the representations and warranties
-4-
<PAGE> 8
of the Company set forth in Exhibit B hereto are true and correct on
and with respect to the Closing Date, (2) the Company has performed
all of its obligations hereunder which are to be performed on or prior
to the Closing Date, and (3) no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing.
(b) Legal Opinions. You shall have received from
Chapman and Cutler, who are acting as your special counsel
in this transaction, and from Jill Witter, Esq., General
Counsel for the Company, their respective opinions dated the
Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to you, and
covering the matters set forth in Exhibits C and D,
respectively, hereto.
(c) Company's Existence and Authority. On or prior to
the Closing Date, you shall have received, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to you and your special
counsel, such documents and evidence with respect to the
Company as you may reasonably request in order to establish
the existence and good standing of the Company and the
authorization of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
(d) Related Transactions. The Company shall have
consummated the sale of the entire principal amount of the
Notes scheduled to be sold on the Closing Date pursuant to
this Agreement and the other agreements referred to in
Sec. 1.3.
(e) Private Placement Number. On or prior to the
Closing Date, special counsel to the Purchasers shall have
duly made the appropriate filings with Standard & Poor's
CUSIP Service Bureau, as agent for the National Association
of Insurance Commissioners, in order to obtain a private
placement number for the Notes.
(f) Funding Instructions. At least three Business
Days prior to the Closing Date, you shall have received
written instructions executed by a Responsible Officer of
the Company directing the manner of the payment of funds and
setting forth (1) the name and address of the transferee
bank, (2) such transferee bank's ABA number, (3) the account
name and number into which the purchase price for the Notes
is to be deposited, and (4) the name and telephone number of
the account representative responsible for verifying receipt
of such funds.
(g) Special Counsel Fees. Concurrently with the
delivery of the Notes to you on the Closing Date, the
charges and disbursements of Chapman and Cutler, your
special counsel, shall have been paid by the Company.
(h) Legality of Investment. The Notes to be purchased
by you shall be a legal investment for you under the laws of
each jurisdiction to which you may be subject (without
resort to any so-called "basket provisions" to such laws).
(i) Satisfactory Proceedings. All proceedings taken in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
and all documents necessary to the consummation thereof, shall be
satisfactory in form and substance to you and your special counsel,
and you shall have received a copy (executed or certified as may be
-5-
<PAGE> 9
appropriate) of all legal documents or proceedings taken in connection
with the consummation of said transactions.
Section 4.2. Waiver of Conditions. If on the Closing Date the
Company fails to tender to you the Notes to be issued to you on
such date or if the conditions specified in Sec. 4.1 have not been
fulfilled, you may thereupon elect to be relieved of all further
obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting the
foregoing, if the conditions specified in Sec. 4.1 have not been
fulfilled, you may waive compliance by the Company with any such
condition to such extent as you may in your sole discretion
determine. Nothing in this Sec. 4.2 shall operate to relieve the
Company of any of its obligations hereunder or to waive any of
your rights against the Company.
SECTION 5. COMPANY COVENANTS.
From and after the Closing Date and continuing so long as
any amount remains unpaid on any Note:
Section 5.1. Corporate Existence, Etc. The Company will
preserve and keep in full force and effect, and will cause each
Restricted Subsidiary to preserve and keep in full force and
effect, its corporate existence and all licenses and permits
necessary to the proper conduct of its business, provided that
the foregoing shall not prevent any transaction permitted by
Sec. 5.10.
Section 5.2. Insurance. The Company will maintain, and will
cause each Restricted Subsidiary to maintain, insurance coverage
by financially sound and reputable insurers and in such forms and
amounts and against such risks as are customary for corporations
of established reputation engaged in the same or a similar
business and owning and operating similar properties.
Section 5.3. Taxes, Claims for Labor and Materials, Compliance
with Laws. (a) The Company will promptly pay and discharge, and
will cause each Restricted Subsidiary promptly to pay and
discharge, all lawful taxes, assessments and governmental charges
or levies imposed upon the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary,
respectively, or upon or in respect of all or any part of the
property or business of the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary, all trade accounts payable in accordance with usual
and customary business terms, and all claims for work, labor or
materials, which if unpaid might become a Lien upon any property
of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary; provided the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be required to
pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy, account payable or
claim if (1) the validity, applicability or amount thereof is
being contested in good faith by appropriate actions or
proceedings which will prevent the forfeiture or sale of any
property of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary or any
material interference with the use thereof by the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary, and (2) the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary shall set aside on its books, reserves deemed by it to
be adequate with respect thereto.
(b) The Company will promptly comply and will cause
each Subsidiary to comply with all laws, ordinances or
governmental rules and regulations to which it is subject
-6-
<PAGE> 10
including, without limitation, the Occupational Safety and Health
Act of 1970, as amended, ERISA and all laws, ordinances,
governmental rules and regulations relating to environmental
protection in all applicable jurisdictions, the violation of which
could materially and adversely affect the properties, business,
prospects, profits or financial condition of the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries or would result in any Lien not permitted
under Sec. 5.8.
Section 5.4. Maintenance, Etc. The Company will maintain,
preserve and keep, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to
maintain, preserve and keep, its properties which are used or
useful in the conduct of its business (whether owned in fee or a
leasehold interest) in good repair and working order and from
time to time will make all necessary repairs, replacements,
renewals and additions so that at all times the efficiency
thereof shall be maintained.
Section 5.5. Nature of Business. Neither the Company nor any
Restricted Subsidiary will engage in any business if, as a
result, the general nature of the business, taken on a
consolidated basis, which would then be engaged in by the Company
and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be substantially changed
from the general nature of the business engaged in by the Company
and its Restricted Subsidiaries on the date of this Agreement.
Section 5.6. Consolidated Net Worth. The Company will at all
times keep and maintain Consolidated Net Worth at an amount not
less than $160,000,000.
Section 5.7. Limitations on Funded Debt. (a) The Company will
not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create,
issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise incur or in any manner
become liable in respect of any Funded Debt, except:
(1) Funded Debt evidenced by the Notes;
(2) Funded Debt of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries outstanding as of March 25, 1995 and described

involving the Company, the Company shall be the surviving or
continuing corporation;
(b) the Company may consolidate or merge with any

reasonably satisfactory to such holders to the effect that
the instrument of assumption has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered and constitutes the legal, valid and
binding contract and agreement of the surviving corporation
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as
enforcement of such terms may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally, and subject, as to
enforceability, to general principals of equity (regardless

Sec. 5.7(a)(3) to incur $1.00 of additional Funded Debt.
Section 5.11. Repurchase of Notes. Neither the Company nor

an offer has been made to repurchase Notes, pro rata, from all
holders of the Notes at the same time and upon the same terms.
In case the Company repurchases or otherwise acquires any Notes,
such Notes shall immediately thereafter be cancelled and no Notes
shall be issued in substitution therefor. Without limiting the

by or for, any Affiliate), except in the ordinary course of and
pursuant to the reasonable requirements of the Company's or such
Restricted Subsidiary's business and upon fair and reasonable
terms no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary than would obtain in a comparable arm's-length
transaction with a Person other than an Affiliate.
Section 5.13. Termination of Pension Plans. The Company will not
and will not permit any Subsidiary to withdraw from any Multiemployer
Plan or permit any employee benefit plan maintained by it to be
terminated if such withdrawal or termination could result in withdrawal

amount which would materially and adversely affect the business,
prospects, profits, properties or financial condition of the Company

the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, to examine all of their
books of account, records, reports and other papers, to make

which case, any such visitation or inspection shall be at the
sole expense of the Company.

connection with any proceeding, case or matter pending (or on its
face purported to be pending) before any court, tribunal,
arbitration board or any governmental agency, commission,
authority, board or similar entity, (6) in connection with the
enforcement by an Institutional Holder of its rights under or in

an Institutional Holder thereof (it being understood and agreed
that any such transferee which purchases such Notes shall itself
be bound by the terms and provisions hereof).

notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived.

supplied by the Company with sufficient information to enable it
to make an informed decision with respect thereto. The Company
will not, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any
remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional
interest, fee or otherwise, to any holder of Notes as
consideration for or as an inducement to entering into by any
holder of Notes of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms
and provisions of this Agreement or the Notes unless such
remuneration is concurrently offered, on the same terms, ratably
to the holders of all Notes then outstanding.
Section 7.3. Effect of Amendment or Waiver. Any such
amendment or waiver shall apply equally to all of the holders of
the Notes and shall be binding upon them, upon each future holder

the principal of the Notes being prepaid or paid (taking
into account the application of such prepayment or payment
required by Sec. 2.1). If no maturity exactly corresponds to
such Weighted Average Life to Maturity, yields for the
published maturity next longer than the Weighted Average
Life to Maturity and for the published maturity next shorter
than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity shall be
calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence
and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated from such

principal that would have become due on each scheduled
payment date if such prepayment or payment had not been made
by the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-
twelfth) which will elapse between the date of determination
and such scheduled payment date, and (2) totalling the
products obtained in (1).

liquidating value of such preferred stock, whichever is greater,

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
The Company represents and warrants to you as follows:
1. Subsidiaries. Annex 1 attached hereto states the
name of each of the Company's Subsidiaries, its jurisdiction
of incorporation and the percentage of its Voting Stock
owned by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries. Those
Subsidiaries listed in Section 1 of said Annex 1 constitute
Restricted Subsidiaries. The Company and each Subsidiary
has good and marketable title to all of the shares it
purports to own of the stock of each Subsidiary, free and
clear in each case of any Lien. All such shares have been
duly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.
2. Corporate Organization and Authority. The
Company, and each Restricted Subsidiary,
(a) is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of incorporation;
(b) has all requisite power and authority and all
necessary licenses and permits to own and operate its
properties and to carry on its business as now
conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted;
and
(c) is duly licensed or qualified and is in good
standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction
wherein the nature of the business transacted by it or
the nature of the property owned or leased by it makes
such licensing or qualification necessary.
3. Company Disclosures. You have heretofore been
furnished with a copy of the Company's Fiscal 1994 Annual
Report, as well as the Form 10-Q's dated as of June 2, 1994,
August 31, 1994 and December 2, 1994 and Interim Reports
dated May 19, 1994, August 18, 1994 and November 17, 1994
(collectively, the "Company Disclosures").
4. Financial Statements. (a) The consolidated
balance sheets of the Company and its consolidated
Subsidiaries as of January 29, 1994, January 30, 1993,
February 1, 1992, January 26, 1991 and January 27, 1990 and
the statements of income and retained earnings and changes
in financial position or cash flows, as the case may be, for
the fiscal years ended on said dates, each accompanied by a
report thereon containing an opinion unqualified as to scope

qualification except as therein noted, by Arthur Andersen &
Co., have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied except as therein noted, are correct and complete
and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of such
dates and the results of their operations and changes in
their financial position or cash flows for such periods.
EXHIBIT B
(to Note Agreement)
<PAGE> 44
(b) Since January 29, 1994, there has been no change
in the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company and
its consolidated Subsidiaries as shown on the consolidated
balance sheet as of such date except changes in the ordinary
course of business, none of which individually or in the
aggregate has been materially adverse.
5. Indebtedness. Schedule II to the Note Agreement
correctly describes all Indebtedness for borrowed money of
the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries outstanding on
March 25, 1995.
6. Full Disclosure. Neither the financial statements
referred to in paragraph 4 hereof nor the Agreements, the
Company Disclosures or any other written statement furnished
by the Company to you in connection with the negotiation of
the sale of the Notes, contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits a material fact necessary to make the
statements contained therein or herein not misleading.
There is no fact peculiar to the Company or its Subsidiaries
which the Company has not disclosed to you in writing which
materially affects adversely nor, so far as the Company can
now foresee, will materially affect adversely the
properties, business, prospects, profits or financial
condition of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole.
7. Pending Litigation. There are no proceedings
pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened
against or affecting the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary in any court or before any governmental authority
or arbitration board or tribunal which involve the
possibility of materially and adversely affecting the
properties, business, prospects, profits or financial
condition of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries.
8. Title to Properties. The Company and each
Restricted Subsidiary has good and marketable title in fee
simple (or its equivalent under applicable law) to all
material parcels of real property and has good title to all
the other material items of property it purports to own,
including that reflected in the most recent balance sheet
referred to in paragraph 4 hereof, except as sold or
otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business and
except for Liens permitted by the Agreements.
9. Patents and Trademarks. The Company and each
Restricted Subsidiary owns or possesses all the patents,
trademarks, trade names, service marks, copyrights, licenses
and rights with respect to the foregoing necessary for the
present and planned future conduct of its business, without
any known conflict with the rights of others, the non-
ownership or non-possession of which, as the case may be,
would materially and adversely affect the properties,
business, prospects, profits or financial condition of the
Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
10. Sale is Legal and Authorized. The sale of the
Notes and compliance by the Company with all of the
provisions of the Agreements and the Notes--
(a) are within the corporate powers of the
Company;
B-2
<PAGE> 45
(b) will not violate any provisions of any law or
any order of any court or governmental authority or
agency and will not conflict with or result in any
breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions
of, or constitute a default under the Restated Articles
of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company or any
indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the
Company is a party or by which it may be bound or
result in the imposition of any Liens or encumbrances
on any property of the Company; and
(c) have been duly authorized by proper corporate
action on the part of the Company (no action by the
stockholders of the Company being required by law, by
the Restated Articles of Incorporation or By-laws of
the Company or otherwise), executed and delivered by
the Company and the Agreements and the Notes constitute
the legal, valid and binding obligations, contracts and
agreements of the Company enforceable in accordance
with their respective terms.
11. No Defaults. No Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing. The Company is not in default
in the payment of principal or interest on any Indebtedness
for borrowed money and is not in default under any
instrument or instruments or agreements under and subject to
which any Indebtedness for borrowed money has been issued
and no event has occurred and is continuing under the
provisions of any such instrument or agreement which with
the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, would
constitute an event of default thereunder.
12. Governmental Consent. No approval, consent or
withholding of objection on the part of any regulatory body,
state, Federal or local, is necessary in connection with the
execution and delivery by the Company of the Agreements or
the Notes or compliance by the Company with any of the
provisions of the Agreements or the Notes.
13. Taxes. All tax returns required to be filed by
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in any jurisdiction
have, in fact, been filed, and all taxes, assessments, fees
and other governmental charges upon the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary or upon any of their respective
properties, income or franchises, which are shown to be due
and payable in such returns have been paid. For all taxable
years ending on or before January 26, 1991 the Federal
income tax liability of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries has been satisfied and either the period of
limitations on assessment of additional Federal income tax
has expired or the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
have entered into an agreement with the Internal Revenue
Service closing conclusively the total tax liability for the
taxable year. The Company does not know of any proposed
additional tax assessment against it for which adequate
provision has not been made on its accounts, and no material
controversy in respect of additional Federal or state income
taxes due since said date is pending or to the knowledge of
the Company threatened. The provisions for taxes on the
books of the Company and each Restricted Subsidiary are
adequate for all open years, and for its current fiscal
period.
B-3
<PAGE> 46
14. Use of Proceeds. The net proceeds from the sale
of the Notes will be used for general corporate purposes.
None of the transactions contemplated in the Agreements
(including, without limitation thereof, the use of proceeds
from the issuance of the Notes) will violate or result in a
violation of Section 7 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, or any regulation issued pursuant thereto,
including, without limitation, Regulations G, T and X of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12 C.F.R.,
Chapter II. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary owns or
intends to carry or purchase any "margin stock" within the
meaning of said Regulation G. None of the proceeds from the
sale of the Notes will be used to purchase, or refinance any
borrowing the proceeds of which were used to purchase, any
"security" within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended.
15. Private Offering. Neither the Company, directly
or indirectly, nor any agent on its behalf has offered or
will offer the Notes or any similar Security or has
solicited or will solicit an offer to acquire the Notes or
any similar Security from any Person so as to bring the
issuance and sale of the Notes within the provisions of
Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
16. ERISA. The consummation of the transactions
provided for in the Agreements and compliance by the Company
with the provisions thereof and the Notes issued thereunder
will not involve any prohibited transaction within the
meaning of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code. Each Plan
complies in all material respects with all applicable
statutes and governmental rules and regulations, and (a) no
Reportable Event has occurred and is continuing with respect
to any Plan, (b) neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate
has withdrawn from any Plan or Multiemployer Plan or
instituted steps to do so except where such withdrawal would
not materially adversely effect the business, prospects,
profits, properties or financial condition of the Company
and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and (c)
no steps have been instituted to terminate any Plan, except
where such termination would not materially adversely effect
the business, prospects, profits, properties or financial
condition of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole. No condition exists or event or
transaction has occurred in connection with any Plan which
could result in the incurrence by the Company or any ERISA
Affiliate of any material liability, fine or penalty. No
Plan maintained by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, nor
any trust created thereunder, has incurred any "accumulated
funding deficiency" as defined in Section 302 of ERISA nor
does the present value of all benefits vested under all
Plans exceed, as of the last annual valuation date, the
value of the assets of the Plans allocable to such vested
benefits. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has
any contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement
"welfare benefit plan" (as such term is defined in ERISA)
except as has been disclosed to the Purchasers.
17. Compliance with Law. Neither the Company nor any
Restricted Subsidiary (a) is in violation of any law,
ordinance, franchise, governmental rule or regulation to
which it is subject; or (b) has failed to obtain any
license, permit, franchise or other governmental
authorization necessary to the ownership of its
B-4
<PAGE> 47
property or to the conduct of its business, which violation or
failure to obtain would materially adversely affect the
business, prospects, profits, properties or financial condition
of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, or impair the ability of the Company to perform its
obligations contained in the Agreements or the Notes.
Neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary is in
default with respect to any order of any court or
governmental authority or arbitration board or tribunal.
18. Compliance with Environmental Laws. To the best
of its knowledge after reasonable investigation, the Company
is not in violation of any applicable Federal, state, or
local laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances
relating to public health, safety or the environment,
including, without limitation, relating to releases,
discharges, emissions or disposals to air, water, land or
ground water, to the withdrawal or use of ground water, to
the use, handling or disposal of polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCB's), asbestos or urea formaldehyde, to the treatment,
storage, disposal or management of hazardous substances
(including, without limitation, petroleum, crude oil or any
fraction thereof, or other hydrocarbons), pollutants or
contaminants, to exposure to toxic, hazardous or other
controlled, prohibited or regulated substances which
violation could have a material adverse effect on the
business, prospects, profits, properties or financial
condition of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole. The Company does not know of any
liability or class of liability of the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended
(42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq.), or the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended (42 U.S.C.
