              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
                                  (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FoxMeyer Health
Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries (the "Corporation").  The
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Corporation as of
September 30, 1995, the condensed consolidated income statements for the three
and six months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 and the condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994
are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, these statements have been
prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements,
and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.  Such adjustments are of a
normal recurring nature.  The results of operations for the three and six
months ended September 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the entire year.  The condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of March 31, 1995 was derived from audited financial statements but
does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles.  Additional information is contained in the Corporation's Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, which should be read in conjunction with this
quarterly report.


NOTE 2 - NET INCOME PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

Net income per share is based on income after preferred stock dividend
requirements and the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the period after giving effect to stock options considered
to be dilutive common stock equivalents.  Fully diluted net income per share is
not presented as it is substantially the same as primary net income per share.


NOTE 3 -  DISPOSITION OF BEN FRANKLIN RETAIL STORES, INC.

On July 12, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Corporation approved a plan to
distribute most of the Corporation's common stock holdings in Ben Franklin
Retail Stores, Inc. ("Ben Franklin") through a dividend of Ben Franklin common
stock to the holders of the Corporation's common stock.  On September 29, 1995,
each stockholder of the Corporation received one share of Ben Franklin common
stock for every six shares of the Corporation's common stock.  The charge to
stockholders' equity for the distribution of Ben Franklin common stock of $29.8
million was based on the book value of the shares at the time of distribution.

On September 29, 1995, as a result of the distribution, the Corporation's
ownership in Ben Franklin decreased from 67.7% to 17.4%.  However,  the
Corporation believes it still exercises significant influence over Ben Franklin
and, accordingly, will account for Ben Franklin on an equity basis.  Prior year
results of operations of Ben Franklin have been reclassified to reflect the
current accounting treatment.  The consolidated balance sheet at September 30,
1995 includes the Corporation's $10.2 million equity investment in Ben Franklin
in "Investments in affiliates."  The market value of the common stock of Ben
Franklin owned  by the Corporation was approximately $3.6 million at September
30, 1995.  The consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 1995 has not been
restated to reflect the change to the equity method of accounting for Ben
Franklin.

NOTE 4 -  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On July 12, 1995,  the Corporation adopted a plan to consolidate its managed
care and certain information services segments into a new organization,
CareStream Corporation ("CareStream").  As a result of this decision and the
related development of a formal plan to dispose of this segment of business, the
Corporation has accounted for CareStream as a discontinued operation since June
30, 1995.  The loss from operations of CareStream for the three months ended
June 30, 1995 has been shown as a loss from discontinued operations. The
Corporation is deferring losses from operations of CareStream after June 30,
1995 to offset against the expected gain on the disposition of CareStream, which
gain is expected to exceed losses from operations through the date of disposal.
The Corporation's prior year income statements have been reclassified to reflect
the current accounting treatment of CareStream.  The net assets of CareStream
consisting of those assets and liabilities which will be assumed by CareStream
and any deferred operating losses since June 30, 1995, are shown on the
consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 1995 as "Net assets of discontinued
operations".


NOTE 5 - INVESTMENTS

In September 1995, the Corporation purchased a majority interest in Hamilton
Morgan L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (formerly known as the Haft
Group/Phar-Mor L.L.C.) ("Hamilton Morgan").  The acquisition of Hamilton Morgan
has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting resulting in
goodwill of approximately $8.1 million at September 30, 1995.  Hamilton Morgan
subsequently acquired an approximate 31% common stock investment in Phar-Mor,
Inc.  ("Phar-Mor").  The investment in Phar-Mor through Hamilton Morgan and the
common stock of Phar-Mor that the Corporation received in settlement of its
pre-bankruptcy claims against Phar-Mor are carried as "Investments in
affiliates" at approximately $35.9 million in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet and are equivalent, net of minority interest, to a
29.4% ownership interest in Phar-Mor.  The Corporation will account for its
investment in Phar-Mor on an equity basis.

The Corporation's investments in marketable equity securities, included in
"Other current assets," are classified either as "trading" or as "available for
sale".  The carrying value and gross unrealized gains and losses of securities
available for sale are as follows (in thousands of dollars):

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

Proceeds of $13.5 million were received during the six months ended September
30, 1995 from the sale of marketable equity securities classified as available
for sale resulting in gross realized gains of $1.1 million and gross realized
losses of $0.6 million.  The cost of securities sold was determined using the
average cost method.

At September 30, 1995, certain securities were reclassified from available for
sale to trading.  As a result of this change in classification, approximately
$3.5 million was transferred from unrealized gains to realized gains and
included in "Other income" in the accompanying condensed financial statements.


NOTE 6 - DEBT

To fund the Corporation's purchase of a majority interest in Hamilton Morgan
(see Note 5), the Corporation entered into a $20 million credit agreement with
a bank (the "Credit Facility").  The Credit Facility matures September 6, 1998
and requires principal payments of $2.5 million each on September 6, 1996 and
1997.  The Credit Facility bears interest either at the prime rate plus 0.5% or
a Euro-dollar rate (as defined) plus 2%.  The Credit Facility is collateralized
by (i) a portion of the Corporation's shares of common stock of FoxMeyer
Corporation ("FoxMeyer"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, (ii)
the Corporation's interest in the Phar-Mor stock held by Hamilton Morgan and
(iii) other marketable securities.  The Credit Facility also contains net worth
and other covenants.

In August and September 1995, FoxMeyer entered into amendments of the FoxMeyer
revolving credit facility which raised the amount available under the facility
to $295 million from $275 million and modified certain covenant calculations.
The amendments also allowed FoxMeyer to enter into a $60 million seasonal
credit facility (the "Seasonal Credit Facility").  The Seasonal Credit Facility
matures March 31, 1996, and bears interest at the higher of the prime rate or
an average rate for certificates of deposit plus 0.5%.  The Seasonal Credit
Facility also contains certain covenants which are substantially the same as
those in the FoxMeyer revolving credit facility.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Corporation has retained responsibility for certain potential environmental
liabilities attributable to former operating units and as a result is subject
to federal, state or local environmental laws, rules and regulations.  The laws
generally impose joint and several liability on present and former owners and
operators, transporters and generators for remediation of contaminated
properties regardless of fault.  The Corporation and its subsidiaries have
received various claims and demands from governmental agencies relating to
investigations and remedial actions to address environmental clean-up costs and
in some instances have been designated as a potentially responsible party by
the Environmental Protection Agency.

The Corporation's reserves for potential environmental assessments or
remediation activities, penalties or fines that may be imposed for
non-compliance with such laws or regulations have not changed materially since
March 31, 1995.  The Corporation's estimates of these costs are based on
currently available facts, existing technologies, presently enacted laws and
regulations and the professional judgment of consultants and counsel.

The amounts of reserves for environmental liabilities are difficult to estimate
due to such factors as the unknown extent of remedial actions that may be
required and, in the case of sites not owned by the Corporation, the unknown
extent of the Corporation's probable liability in proportion to the probable
liability of other parties.  Moreover, the Corporation may have environmental
liabilities that the Corporation cannot in its judgment estimate at this time
and losses attributable to remediation costs may arise at other sites.  The
Corporation cannot now estimate the additional cost and expenses it may incur
for such environmental liabilities.  While management of the Corporation does
not believe the liabilities associated with such other sites will have a
material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations, it
recognizes additional work may need to be performed to ascertain the ultimate
liability for such sites, and further information could ultimately change
management's current assessment.

During the six months ended September 30, 1995, the Corporation entered into
certain agreements with Ashland Oil, Inc. ("Ashland") settling previously
unresolved issues relating to the sale of The Permian Corporation ("TPC") to
Ashland in fiscal 1992.  As a result of the settlement, the Corporation has
been released from all outstanding claims and from any additional claims in
connection with the sale of TPC to Ashland.

There are various other pending claims and lawsuits arising out of the normal
conduct of the Corporation.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome
of these claims and lawsuits will not have a material effect on the
consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Corporation.

                  FOXMEYER HEALTH CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


OVERVIEW

FoxMeyer Health Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Corporation") reported
net income from continuing operations of $8.1 million and $15.6 million for the
three and six months ended September 30, 1995, respectively.  This
represents an increase of $1.2 million and $3.4 million over net income from
continuing operations for the same periods in the prior year.  Net income per
share from continuing operations was $.16 per share and $.30 per share for the
three and six months ended September 30, 1995, respectively, as compared to
$.16 and $.21 per share for the same periods in the prior year.

SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS OCCURRING SINCE MARCH 31, 1995 INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:

On July 12, 1995, the Corporation adopted a plan to consolidate its managed care
and certain information services segments into a new organization, CareStream
Corporation ("CareStream").  As a result of this decision and the development of
a formal plan to dispose of this segment of business, the Corporation has shown
CareStream as a discontinued operation.

On July 12, 1995, the Corporation also approved a plan to distribute most of
its common stock holdings in Ben Franklin Retail Stores, Inc. ("Ben Franklin")
through a dividend of one share of Ben Franklin common stock for every 6 shares
of the Corporation's common stock which was paid on September 29, 1995.  The
Corporation will continue to exert significant influence over Ben Franklin,
and, accordingly, will account for its remaining 17.4% ownership interest in
Ben Franklin on an equity basis.

In September 1995, the Corporation purchased a majority interest in Hamilton
Morgan L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Hamilton Morgan").
Hamilton Morgan subsequently acquired an approximate 31% common stock
investment in Phar-Mor, Inc. ("Phar-Mor").  As a result of the Corporation's
ownership of  Hamilton Morgan and the common stock of Phar-Mor that the
Corporation received in settlement of its pre-bankruptcy claims, the
Corporation owns, net of minority interest, approximately 29.4% of Phar-Mor.
The Corporation will account for its investment in Phar-Mor on an equity basis.

With the actual distribution of Ben Franklin and the planned disposition of
CareStream, the Corporation now conducts its business principally through only
one operating unit, FoxMeyer Corporation ("FoxMeyer").  The results of
operations of Ben Franklin have been stated on an equity basis for the three
and six months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.  The results of CareStream
have been presented as a discontinued operation for the three and six months
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1994

Net sales increased $165.7 million to $1,320.5 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1995, as compared to $1,154.8 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1994.  Net sales increased significantly in the Hospital
and Alternate Care customer segments principally as a result of sales made to
the University Hospital Consortium ("UHC") which the Corporation only began
servicing in late fiscal 1995.  Sales in the Independent customer segment also
showed improvement.

Gross profit increased $2.4 million to $66.9 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 as compared to the same period in the prior year.  As a
percentage of sales, gross margin decreased from 5.6% to 5.1% of net sales for
the three months ended September 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively.  Increased
sales to large volume, lower margin and lower cost-to-serve customers and
continuing price competition throughout the industry have contributed to this
decrease.  The reduced availability of investment buying opportunities also
continues to exert pressure on gross margin.  To offset these pressures, the
Corporation continues to emphasize and expand its offering of value-added
services such


                                       10
<PAGE>   12
as private label, generic products and repackaging programs, all of which
provide significantly higher gross margin.

Management believes that the pressures currently being brought to bear on gross
margin, discussed above, will continue.  The Corporation is aggressively
pursuing several long-term strategies to relieve this pressure and ultimately
strengthen its gross margins.

Operating expenses increased $6.0 million to $58.3 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1995 as compared to $52.3 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1994.  However, as a percentage of net sales, operating
expenses decreased from 4.5% for the three months ended September 30, 1994 to
4.4% for the three months ended September 30, 1995.  The percentage decrease is
principally the result of the Corporation's cost containment and cost reduction
programs.  Additionally, the Corporation is realizing the benefits of the
further leveraging of its cost structure through additional sales to lower
cost-to-serve high volume accounts.

Other income increased $7.0 million to $6.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 as compared to a loss of $0.8 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1994.  Factors contributing to the increase were:  (i) the
recognition of gains on marketable equity securities, (ii) an agreement with
the purchaser of The Permian Corporation releasing the Corporation from any
further liability connected with the fiscal 1992 sale resulting in the release
of previously established reserves and (iii) increased real estate and other
investment activities.  Offsetting these factors was the higher cost of the
accounts receivable financing program due to an additional $75 million of
receivables sold under the program in the current year.

NET FINANCING COSTS

Net financing costs increased $2.6 million to $7.4 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1995, as compared to $4.8 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1994.  Interest income did not change significantly.
Average debt for the quarter increased by approximately $186.5 million over the
three months ended September 30, 1994.  The additional borrowed funds were used
to finance the increase in net working capital required to support expanded
business and capital investments.  On average, the Corporation's cost of debt
decreased 65 basis points as compared to the three months ended September 30,
1994 principally reflecting a decrease in the impact of the amortization of
deferred loan costs and fixed fees.

NATIONAL STEEL CORPORATION RESULTS

The net preferred income for National Steel Corporation was $0.9 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1995, compared to $1.4 million for the
prior period.  An increase in the expense related to the Weirton pension
obligation for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 is the primary reason for
the $0.5 million decrease.

INCOME TAXES

The current year and prior year income tax provisions were based on estimates
of the full year effective tax rate.  The low effective tax rate for both
periods was the result of the reduction in the deferred tax asset valuation
allowance.

EQUITY IN INCOME OF AFFILIATES

The equity in income of affiliates represents 67.7% of Ben Franklin's net
income and approximately 47% of FoxMeyer Canada's ("Canada") net loss for the
current and prior year periods.  The decrease of $0.6 million in the
Corporation's equity in the results of operations of affiliates primarily
reflects (i) a decline in Ben Franklin's income that was the result of
increased operating expenses and interest expense related to the expansion of
its business from new franchisees and from additional company-owned stores and
(ii) a decline in Canada's income resulting from increased operating expenses
related to the expansion of Canada's business.


                                       11
<PAGE>   13

MINORITY INTEREST IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

The decrease in minority interest was primarily attributable to the elimination
of the minority interest in FoxMeyer resulting from the Corporation's October
1994 acquisition of the 19.5% common stock interest in FoxMeyer that it did not
already own.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The loss from discontinued operations reflects the results of CareStream in the
prior year.  The Corporation is currently deferring losses from CareStream's
operations in the current quarter which will be offset by the expected gain on
the disposition of CareStream.


SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
1994

Net sales increased $266.0 million to $2,598.7 million for the six months ended
September 30, 1995, as compared to $2,332.7 million for the six months ended
September 30, 1994.  Net sales increased significantly in the Hospital and
Alternate Care customer segments principally as a result of sales made to UHC
which the Corporation only began servicing in late fiscal 1995.  Sales in the
Independent customer segment also showed significant improvement.

Gross profit increased $1.9 million to $130.6 million for the six months ended
September 30, 1995 as compared to the same period in the prior year.  As a
percentage of sales, gross margin decreased from 5.5% to 5.0% of net sales for
the six months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Increased
sales to large volume, lower margin and lower cost-to-serve customers and
continuing price competition throughout the industry have contributed to this
decrease.  The reduced availability of investment buying opportunities also
continues to exert pressure on gross margin.  To offset these pressures, the
Corporation continues to emphasize and expand its offering of value-added
services such as private label, generic products and repackaging programs, all
of which provide significantly higher gross margin.

Operating expenses increased $7.5 million to $114.6 million for the six months
ended September 30, 1995 as compared to $107.1 million for the six months ended
September 30, 1994.  However, as a percentage of net sales, operating expenses
decreased from 4.6% for the six months ended September 30, 1994 to 4.4% for the
six months ended September 30, 1995.  The percentage decrease is principally
the result of the Corporation's cost containment and cost reduction programs.
Additionally, the Corporation is realizing the benefits of further leverage of
its cost structure through additional sales to lower cost-to-serve high volume
accounts.

Other income increased $11.7 million to $13.4 million for the six months ended
September 30, 1995 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 1994.
Factors contributing to the increase were:  (i) the recognition of gains on
marketable equity securities and (ii) an agreement with the purchaser of The
Permian Corporation releasing the Corporation from liabilities connected with
the fiscal 1992 sale resulting in the release of previously established
reserves.  Offsetting these factors was the higher cost of the accounts
receivable financing program primarily due to an additional $75 million of
receivables sold under the program in the current year.  In addition, real
estate and other investment activities had less income than in the prior year
primarily because of significant non-recurring gains in the prior year from the
sale of real estate investments.

NET FINANCING COSTS

Net financing costs increased $4.1 million to $13.4 million for the six months
ended September 30, 1995, as compared to $9.3 million for the six months ended
September 30, 1994.  Interest income decreased $0.4 million primarily as a
result of the early repayment of certain real estate notes receivable
investments in late fiscal 1995 and early fiscal 1996.  Average debt for the
six months increased by approximately $146.3 million over the six months ended
September 30, 1994.  The additional borrowed funds were used to finance the
increase in net working capital required to support expanded business and
capital investments.  On average, the Corporation's cost of debt decreased 81
basis points as compared to the six months ended September 30, 1994 principally
reflecting a decrease in the impact of the amortization of deferred loan costs
and fixed fees.

NATIONAL STEEL CORPORATION RESULTS

The net preferred income for National Steel Corporation was $1.8 million for
the six months ended September 30, 1995, compared to $2.7 million for the prior
period.  An increase in the expense related to the Weirton pension obligation
for the six months ended September 30, 1995 is the primary reason for the $0.9
million decrease.

INCOME TAXES

The current year and prior year income tax provisions were based on estimates
of the full year effective tax rate.  The low effective tax rate for both
periods was the result of the reduction in the deferred tax asset valuation
allowance.

EQUITY IN INCOME OF AFFILIATES

The equity in income of affiliates represents 67.7% of Ben Franklin's net
income and approximately 47% of Canada's net loss for the current and prior
year periods.  The decrease of $1.3 million in the Corporation's equity in the
results of operations of affiliates primarily reflects a decline in Ben
Franklin's income that was the result of increased interest expense related to
the expansion of its business and a decline in Canada's income resulting from
increased operating expenses related to the expansion of Canada's business.

MINORITY INTEREST IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

The decrease in minority interest was primarily attributable to the elimination
of the minority interest in FoxMeyer resulting from the Corporation's October
1994 acquisition of the 19.5% common stock interest in FoxMeyer that it did not
already own.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The loss from discontinued operations reflects the results of CareStream in the
prior year and for the three months ended June 30, 1995.  The results of
operations for CareStream subsequent to June 30, 1995 have been deferred to
offset the expected gain from the ultimate disposition of CareStream.


                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash used by operations (which includes working capital components) was
$22.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 1995.  The change in
working capital components used $36.9 million of funds.  An increase in
inventory and accounts receivable used $107.9 million of funds which was
partially offset by a $74.0 million increase in accounts payable and accrued
liabilities.

Cash used in investing activities was $100.0 million.  Approximately $24.8
million of cash was used to purchase property and equipment during the period.
An additional $4.6 million was used to acquire other businesses.  The
Corporation made investments in equity and debt securities in other companies
and in real estate which used approximately $61.5 million of cash, net of
proceeds from the sale of investments.  The change to the equity method in
accounting for Ben Franklin resulted in the removal of Ben Franklin's cash of
$9.1 million from the consolidated balance sheet.

Cash provided by financing activities of $121.1 million resulted primarily from
additional net borrowings under the Corporation's various revolving credit
facilities of $103.0 million.  The proceeds from the additional borrowings were
primarily used to fund the increase in inventory and the purchase of
property and equipment, acquisitions and other investments.  In addition, the
Corporation borrowed $21.7 million to fund its investment in Hamilton Morgan and
its real estate investments.

Management assesses the Corporation's liquidity based on its major business
units:  FoxMeyer and certain holding company, corporate office and other
miscellaneous activities (collectively, the "Holding Company") which includes
the Corporation's real estate partnership activities.  While FoxMeyer is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, the


                                       13
<PAGE>   15
FoxMeyer debt agreements limit the ability of FoxMeyer to transfer funds to the
Holding Company.  The following is a discussion of the liquidity and capital
resources of each business.

FOXMEYER

As of  September 30, 1995, FoxMeyer had borrowed $235.8 million under its
$295.0 million revolving credit facility (the "FoxMeyer Facility") at an
average interest rate of  6.6%.  The average and maximum amounts borrowed
during the six months ended September 30, 1995 under the FoxMeyer Facility were
$191.4 million and $275.8 million, respectively.  Restrictions imposed by the
FoxMeyer Facility require that on the last day of any quarter, FoxMeyer's total
indebtedness to capitalization ratio, as defined therein, cannot exceed 0.6 to
1.0.  Under the requirements of this covenant, FoxMeyer was eligible to borrow
an additional $30.4 million at September 30, 1995.

In September 1995, FoxMeyer amended the FoxMeyer Facility to allow FoxMeyer to
enter into a $60 million seasonal credit facility (the "Seasonal Credit
Facility").  The Seasonal Credit Facility matures March 31, 1996.  The Seasonal
Credit Facility  bears interest at the higher of the prime rate or an average
rate for certificates of deposit plus 0.5% and also contains certain covenants
which are substantially the same as those in the FoxMeyer Facility.

FoxMeyer expects that cash flow from operations and continued maintenance of
its working capital facilities will provide adequate cash to fund seasonal
increases in inventories and receivables.  FoxMeyer's accounts receivable
financing agreement expires in November 1995; however, FoxMeyer expects to be
able to renew or replace the agreement before its expiration date.

HOLDING COMPANY

The Holding Company has cash and short-term investments of approximately $9.5
million at September 30, 1995.  In addition, the Holding Company had borrowed
the maximum amount of $15.0 million available under a revolving credit facility
(the "Holding Company Facility") and the maximum amount of $20.0 million under a
new credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), at an average interest rate of
7.8%.  The average amount borrowed during the six months ended September 30,
1995 under both agreements was $17.5 million.   At September 30, 1995, the
Holding Company had also borrowed the maximum amount available under a $30
million revolving agreement with FoxMeyer.

The Credit Agreement, which was used to partially fund the Corporation's
investment in Hamilton Morgan, matures September 6, 1998 and requires principal
payments of $2.5 million each on September 6, 1996 and 1997.  The Credit
Agreement bears interest either at the prime rate plus 0.5% or a Euro-dollar
rate (as defined) plus 2%.  The Credit Agreement is collaterized by a portion of
the Corporation's shares of common stock of FoxMeyer, the Corporation's interest
in the common stock of Phar-Mor held by Hamilton Morgan and other marketable
securities.  The Credit Facility also contains net worth and other covenants.

The Holding Company's cash requirements include the funding of monthly
operating expenses, lease commitments, benefit obligations, dividend payments
on the Corporation's convertible redeemable preferred stock and mandatory
sinking fund payments thereon, and cash outlays attributable to environmental
liabilities of previously owned businesses, the amounts and timing of which are
uncertain.  In addition, the Holding Company intends to make additional real
estate and other investments.

The Holding Company will rely on cash on hand and dividends received on shares
of FoxMeyer common stock to meet the cash funding obligations described above.
The amount of dividends that FoxMeyer can pay to the Holding Company are
limited by FoxMeyer's debt agreements.  The Holding Company expects to be able
to renew or replace its revolving credit facility before its expiration date of
April 1, 1996.  The Holding Company expects to fund a substantial portion of
any real estate investments through additional non-recourse debt which
management believes will be available at reasonable rates.

Share" and inserting the following definitions (in appropriate alphabetical
order):

                 Aggregate Commitment.  Means $295,000,000, subject to
         reduction as provided in Section 2.12 (which amount is the aggregate
         of the maximum Commitments of all Lenders).

                 Sixth Amendment Date.  Means the date on which the amendments
         to this Agreement provided in the Sixth Amendment to Amended and

         date of any determination, such Lender's proportionate share of the
         Aggregate Commitment (and the A Advances and Letters of Credit made
         and issued, respectively, thereunder).  As of the Sixth Amendment
         Date, the Pro Rata Share of each Lender as to the Aggregate Commitment
         (and the A Advances and Letters of Credit made and issued,
         respectively, thereunder) is set forth on Schedule l hereto.

         SECTION 3. AMENDMENT TO SCHEDULE I, NEW LENDERS AND OUTSTANDING
AMOUNTS.

             (a) Schedule 1 to the Loan Agreement is hereby amended in its
entirety to read as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto.

             (b) Effective as of the Sixth Amendment Date, the $20,000,000
increase in the Aggregate Commitment under the Loan Agreement effected by this
Sixth Amendment will be assumed by The Bank of Nova Scotia and, as of such
date, such bank shall be a Lender under the Loan Agreement and shall have the
rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder.

             (c) The Lenders made A Advances to Borrower under the Loan
Agreement and, as of the date of this Sixth Amendment, $175,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of A Advances is outstanding.  Such A Advances constitute: (i)
a Eurodollar Loan made to the Borrower in the original principal amount of
$75,000,000 with an Interest Period of one month, expiring on September 13,
1995 (the "First Outstanding Eurodollar Loan"); (ii) a Eurodollar Loan made to

Period of one month, expiring on August 28, 1995 (the "Second Outstanding

             (d) On the Sixth Amendment Date, The Bank of Nova Scotia shall
make available pursuant to Section 2.4(d), and the Borrower hereby requests:

Eurodollar Loan, bearing interest at all times at the rate applicable to the
Second Outstanding Eurodollar Loan and shall have an Interest Period of 11
days, expiring on August 28, 1995; and (iii) an A Advance in the original
principal amount of $4,363,636.36, which A Advance shall be a Eurodollar Loan,
bearing interest at all times at the rate applicable to the Third Outstanding
Eurodollar Loan and shall have an Interest Period of 19 days, expiring on
September 5, 1995 (collectively, the "Nova Scotia Advances").  The Nova Scotia
Advances increase the aggregate principal amount of A Advances outstanding on
the Sixth Amendment Date to $187,727,272.71.  Administrative Agent and each
Lender hereby waive the requirement in Section 2.4(a)(i) of the Loan Agreement
soley with respect to the amount of each of the Nova Scotia Advances.  Each
Nova Scotia Advance shall be deemed to be a portion of the corresponding
Outstanding Eurodollar Loan for all purposes; provided, however, that interest
shall accrue on the portion of each Outstanding Eurodollar Loan represented by
a Nova Scotia Advance, and shall be payable to The Bank of Nova Scotia, based
upon the actual date of such advance.  The Nova Scotia Advances shall represent
The Bank of Nova Scotia's Pro Rata Share of the aggregate principal amount of A
Advances outstanding on the Sixth Amendment Date, after giving effect to the
Sixth Amendment and the Nova Scotia Advances, such that the other Lenders' Pro
Rata Share of outstanding A Advances shall not be affected by the Nova Scotia
Advances and no other Lender shall be required to make funds available with
respect to the Nova Scotia Advances.

             (e) Certain of the Lenders made B Advances to Borrower under the
Loan Agreement and, as of the date of this Sixth Amendment, $24,300,000
aggregate principal amount of B Advances is outstanding.  All such B Advances
shall remain outstanding on the Sixth Amendment Date, subject to the terms
thereof.  NationsBank and Paribas have issued Letters of Credit that are
outstanding under the Loan Agreement in an aggregate Stated Amount of
$8,908,496 and, as of the date of this Sixth Amendment, no amounts have been
drawn thereunder.

             (f) At all times before the Sixth Amendment Date, the Lenders
(other than The Bank of Nova Scotia) shall fund all A Advances and participate
in all Letters of Credit under the Loan Agreement, and be entitled to all
interest, fees and other amounts payable in respect thereof, as provided in the
Loan Agreement prior to the effectiveness of the amendments effected by this
Sixth Amendment.  On the Sixth Amendment Date, before giving effect to the
amendments effected by the Sixth Amendment, the Borrower shall pay all fees and
other amounts (other than interest on the Outstanding Eurodollar Loan,
including the Nova Scotia Advance, which shall be paid at the end of the
Interest Payment Dates applicable thereto) accrued and unpaid under the Loan
Agreement as of such date.  From and after the Sixth Amendment Date, the
Lenders shall fund all A Advances and participate in all Letters of Credit
under the Loan Agreement, and be entitled to all interest, fees and other
amounts payable in respect thereof, in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares of
the Aggregate Commitment (after giving effect to the amendments effected by
this Sixth Amendment).

         SECTION 4. EFFECTIVENESS OF AMENDMENTS.  The amendments effected by
this Sixth Amendment shall be effective upon satisfaction of the following, in
a manner acceptable to Administrative Agent, on or before August 31, 1995 (the
date of effectiveness herein called the "Amendment Date"):

                    (a)   All of the Lenders, Issuer, Administrative Agent and
         Documentation Agent and Borrower shall have executed and delivered

                    (b)   All of the Guarantors shall have executed and

         and all of the Operating Subsidiaries shall have executed and
         delivered amendments to their respective Intercompany Notes reflecting
         the increase in the Aggregate Commitment.

                    (c)   An A Note payable to the order of The Bank of Nova
         Scotia in the maximum principal amount of $20,000,000 shall have been
         duly executed by Borrower and delivered to Administrative Agent.

                    (d)   An amendment to the Guaranty Agreement, substantially
         in the form of Exhibit B hereto, shall have been duly executed by
         Guarantors and delivered to Administrative Agent.

                    (e)   Borrower and each Guarantor shall have delivered to
         Administrative Agent certificates providing the certifications

         attached hereto shall have been duly executed by such counsel and
         delivered to Administrative Agent, and (ii) a favorable legal opinion
         of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, counsel to Administrative Agent shall have
         been duly executed by such counsel and delivered to Administrative
         Agent.

                    (g)   Searches of the States of Texas and Kansas and such
         other States as Administrative Agent may request, setting forth all
         UCC filings, financing statements and other Lien filings against
         Borrower or any Operating Subsidiary in such States, shall have been
         delivered to Administrative Agent, which searches shall confirm that
         the Assets of Borrower and Operating Subsidiaries are free and clear
         of all Liens other than Permitted Liens, if any, in such States.

         Administrative Agent, which Solvency Certificate shall have been
         executed by a Financial Officer of Borrower and each Operating
         Subsidiary and shall reflect, to the satisfaction of Administrative
         Agent, that (A) both before and after giving effect to the
         transactions contemplated by this Sixth Amendment (and assuming
         funding of the Loans in an amount equal to the maximum Aggregate
         Commitment, as amended by this Sixth Amendment), each of Borrower and
         each Operating Subsidiary is, both as a separate corporate entity and
         on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries, Solvent and (B) there
         has not occurred any material adverse change in the Net Worth of
         Borrower or any Operating Subsidiary since the date of the balance
         sheets of such corporations as of March 31, 1995.

                    (i)   Before and after giving effect to this Sixth
         Amendment, the representations and warranties provided in Article V of
         the Loan Agreement shall be true and correct on the Amendment Date as
         if made on such date (except to the extent that such representations
         and warranties are expressly by their terms made only as of the date
         of this Sixth Amendment or another date other than the Restatement
         Date), and no Potential Default or Event of Default shall have
         occurred or be continuing on the Amendment Date.

         the transactions contemplated by the Loan Papers shall be satisfactory
         to counsel to Administrative Agent.

                    (l)   A Closing Certificate in the form of Exhibit E
         hereto, appropriately completed, shall have been executed by Borrower
         and Operating Subsidiaries and certain of their officers, as indicated

              and October 13, 1995 (collectively, the "Transaction
              Description"), from Borrower to Lenders.  The Transaction
              Description does not omit any statement of a material fact
              necessary to make the statements contained therein or herein not
              misleading.

                     (ii)   The principal amount of the CareStream Note will be
              not less than the actual amount of all loans, advances, capital
              contributions and other investments made by Borrower and its
              Consolidated Subsidiaries in the CareStream Operations after
              March 31, 1993, less $5,000,000.  After giving effect to the

              obligations of Borrower and the Consolidated Subsidiaries for
              financing of the CareStream Operations shall not exceed
              $5,000,000, and shall be fully assumed and indemnified against by

              financial support for, the CareStream Operations.

                     (iii)  The consummation of the CareStream Transactions
              will not, and Borrower hereby agrees that the consummation of the
              CareStream Transactions shall not, violate the terms of, or give
              rise to a default under, the 7.09% Notes, the 7.09% Note

              determination or award, to which Borrower or any Consolidated
              Subsidiary is a party or by which it or any of its material
              Assets are bound or affected.  None of the CareStream
              Transactions will have a Material Adverse Effect.

                     (iv)   After giving effect to the CareStream Transactions,
              Borrower and each of the Operating Subsidiaries will be Solvent,
              both as a separate corporate entity and on a consolidated basis
              with its Subsidiaries.

              (c)    On the basis of the representations and warranties in this
Section 3 and in Section 5 of this Seventh Amendment, and subject to Section 4

                                                                              29

<PAGE>   36
called for in the Loan Request Certificate, including, without limitation, the

York time, on the funding date set forth in the Loan Request Certificate with
respect to any Advance, each Lender shall, subject to the satisfaction (or
effective waiver) of all applicable conditions precedent, make available its

shall have received written notice from a Lender prior to the date of any
requested Advance that such Lender will not make available to Administrative

assume that such Lender has timely made such share available to Administrative
Agent on the date of such requested Advance and Administrative Agent may (but
shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.  If and to the extent that such
Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Share thereof available to
Administrative Agent, such Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to
Administrative Agent, forthwith upon demand, and without premium or penalty,

Agreement, Borrower may prepay the Advances in whole or in part at any time and
from time to time by notifying Administrative Agent of the particular Advances

however, that with respect to partial prepayments of the Advances, the
prepayment of principal must be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or an integral
multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Unless Borrower expressly informs
Administrative Agent to the contrary prior to or concurrently with any
voluntary prepayment, such prepayment shall be applied first to accrued
interest and then to principal.

        (b)       Existing Credit Facility.  Borrower shall prepay in full the
principal amount of the Loans on each date that Borrower pays or prepays any

2.6     INTEREST.

        (a)      Interest Payment Dates.  Interest accrued on the unpaid
principal amount of the Loans outstanding from time to time shall be due and
payable on each Interest Payment Date and on the Termination Date.

        (b)      Interest Rate Prior to Default.  The unpaid principal amounts
of all Loans shall bear interest at the lesser of (A) the Maximum Lawful Rate
or (B) an annual rate equal to the Base Rate.

        (c)      Default Rate.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained in this Section 2.6, upon the occurrence and thereafter during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the unpaid principal balance or amount of,
and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, accrued interest on, the
Obligations





                                                                              32
<PAGE>   38
(including, without limitation, the Advances, costs, fees, expenses and
obligations of indemnity) shall bear interest, payable on demand, from the date
of the occurrence and during the continuation of such Event of Default until
the Obligations have been paid, at the Default Rate applicable thereto;
provided, however, that the Obligations other than Loans shall not (unless
otherwise expressly stated herein to the contrary) begin to bear interest until
the amounts thereof are past due and payable.

        (d)      Computation of Interest.  Subject to Section 9.4, interest on
the Obligations shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed and computed as if each year consisted of 365 or 366 days, as the case
may be.  Such computations shall be made by including the first day but
excluding the last day of the period for which such interest is payable.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, if at any time
or from time to time the rate of interest determined under Section 2.6(b) or
Section 2.6(c), as applicable, exclusive of limitations with reference to the
Maximum Lawful Rate (the "Stated Rate") would (but for limitations with
reference to the Maximum Lawful Rate) exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, then any
subsequent reduction in the Stated Rate shall not reduce the rate of interest
payable below the Maximum Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest
accrued on the applicable Loan equals the amount of interest that would have
accrued thereon if the Stated Rate had at all times been in effect.  Each
determination by Administrative Agent with respect to interest on the
Obligations shall be presumed correct.

actual number of days elapsed and computed as if each year consisted of 360
days, except when the Maximum Lawful Rate is being charged on all or any
portion of the Obligations, at which time such fee shall be computed as if each
year consisted of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.  Each determination by
Administrative Agent with respect to fees shall be presumed correct in the
absence of manifest error.

        (e)      Charging Borrower's Account.  In the event Borrower fails to
pay any fee to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.7 on the date the same is due
and payable, Lenders are hereby authorized (but shall not be required) to
advance or to cause to be advanced the amount of such fee upon any one or more
of the Advances to Borrower.

2.8     PROTECTION OF YIELD.

        (a)      Increased Costs. etc.  Subject to Section 9.4, if at any time,
and from time to time, any Lender determines that the adoption, modification or
implementation (after the date hereof) of, or compliance (first required or
requested after the date hereof) with, any applicable law, rule or regulation
regarding taxation (exclusive of any law, rule or regulation imposing taxes on
the overall income or overall gross receipts of such Lender or its Affiliates
or imposing franchise taxes on such Lender or its Affiliates), required levels
of reserves, deposits, insurance or capital (including any allocation of
capital requirements or conditions), or similar requirements applicable to such
Lender or any of its Affiliates, or any interpretation or administration
thereof (after the date hereof) by any governmental authority, central bank or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation, administration or compliance
of or with any of such requirements, has or would have the effect of (i)
increasing such Lender's (or its Affiliate's) costs of making, funding or
maintaining the Loans, the Commitment, the Facility or any part thereof or (ii)
reducing the yield or rate of return of such Lender or its Affiliates on the
Loans, its Commitment, the Facility or any part thereof, to a level below that
which such Lender (or Affiliate) would have achieved but for the adoption,
modification or implementation of, or compliance with, any such requirements,
Borrower shall, within 15 days after request therefor by such Lender, pay to
such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such
increase in costs or reduction in yield or rate of return of such Lender (or
Affiliate).  No failure by any Lender to immediately request payment of any
additional amounts payable under this Section 2.8(a) shall constitute a waiver
of such Lender's right to request payment of such amounts at any subsequent
time.  Each Lender requesting that Borrower pay additional amounts pursuant





                                                                              34
<PAGE>   40
to this Section 2.8(a) shall submit to Borrower and Administrative Agent a
certificate, executed by such Lender, as to such additional amounts, which
certificate shall be presumed correct.  Such certificate shall set forth in
reasonable detail the nature of the occurrence giving rise to such claim for
additional amounts, the additional amounts to be paid to it hereunder, and the
method by which such amounts were determined.  In determining such amounts,
such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any
portion of the additional amounts required to be paid under this Section 2.8(a)
remaining unpaid 15 days after the due date thereof shall bear interest at the
Default Rate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be obligated to
pay such amounts only if and to the extent that the general circumstances which
have caused such additional amounts to be owing are applicable to Majority
Lenders (or their respective Affiliates).

        (b)      Reasonable Efforts.  Borrower and Lenders shall use reasonable
efforts to avoid or to minimize amounts payable by Borrower pursuant to this
Section 2.8, and Borrower shall, as promptly as practical, notify
Administrative Agent, and each Lender shall, as promptly as practicable, notify
Borrower and Administrative Agent, of the existence of any event or
circumstance of which it is aware which will require the payment by Borrower of
any such amounts; provided, however, that the failure to give any such prompt
notification shall not result in any liability to such Lender and shall not
affect the rights of Lenders or the obligations of Borrower hereunder;
provided, further, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any
additional amount to any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.8 unless request is
made for payment of such additional amount within one year after such Lender
became aware that such additional amount was owing by Borrower.  Such
reasonable efforts shall include, without limitation, the designation of a
different lending office if such designation would not, in the reasonable
judgment of the affected Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender.

        2.9      MANNER AND APPLICATION OF PAYMENT.

        (a)      Manner of Payment.  All payments by Borrower shall be made,
without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind except as may be
permitted by Section 2.11(a), to Administrative Agent (for the account of
Administrative Agent or Lenders, as appropriate) at Citibank, 399 Park Avenue,
New York, New York  10043, not later than 11:00 A.M., New York, New York time,
on the date due, and shall be payable in lawful currency of the U.S. in
immediately available funds.  Administrative Agent will promptly (and if such
payment is received by Administrative Agent by 11:00 A.M., and otherwise if
feasible, on the same Business Day) distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata
Share (based upon the Loans to which such payment relates) of each such payment
received by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders.  Upon
Administrative Agent's acceptance of an Assignment and





                                                                              35
<PAGE>   41
Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register
pursuant to Section 9.6, from and after the effective date of such Assignment
and Acceptance Administrative Agent shall make all payments under this
Agreement with respect to the interest assigned thereby to Lender assignee
thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall, directly
between themselves, make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for
periods prior to such effective date.  Whenever any payment with respect to
Loans or of any fees or expenses shall be due on a date which is not a Business
Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day.  If the date for any payment of principal is extended, interest
shall accrue and be payable by Borrower with respect to such extension.

        (b)      Application of Payments.   Except as provided in Section 2.5,
all payments on the Loans and other Obligations shall be applied to payment of
the Loans and Obligations being paid in the following manner:  (i) first,
against the interest accrued and unpaid on the Loans or Obligations as of the
date of such payments; (ii) second, against the principal of the Loans; and
(iii) third, against the remaining Obligations in any manner Administrative
Agent shall, in its discretion, determine.

        2.10     TERMINATION AND REDUCTION.

        (a)      Automatic Termination and Reduction.  The Aggregate Commitment
shall automatically terminate on the Termination Date.

        (b)      Voluntary Termination or Reduction.  Upon at least three
Business Days' prior notice to Administrative Agent, Borrower may at any time
in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently
reduce, the Aggregate Commitment; provided, however, that (i) each partial
reduction of the Aggregate Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000
or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) the Aggregate
Commitment may not be reduced (or terminated) pursuant to this Section 2.10(b)
to an amount that is less than the aggregate principal amount of the Loans then
outstanding.  Once so terminated or reduced, the Aggregate Commitment may not
thereafter be increased by Borrower.

        (c)      Allocation of Reduction of Commitments.  Each reduction in the
Aggregate Commitment shall be made ratably among Lenders in accordance with
their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Commitments.

2.11    TAXES; EXMPTION FROM U.S. WITHHOLDING, ETC.

        (a)      Withholding Taxes.  With respect to payments to be made under
this Agreement and the Notes to any Lender organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction outside of the U.S., Borrower or Administrative Agent may withhold
from such payments which are





                                                                              36
<PAGE>   42
subject to withholding taxes under Sections 1441(a) or 1442(a) of the Code (or
any successor provision) at the applicable statutory rate ("Withholding
Taxes"); provided, however, that Borrower and Administrative Agent shall not
withhold or shall withhold at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty if
such Lender timely provides Administrative Agent and Borrower with properly
executed Prescribed Forms indicating that such payments either are not subject
to Withholding Taxes or are subject to such taxes at a rate reduced by an
applicable tax treaty; provided, further, that any amounts required to be
withheld pursuant to Sections 1441(a) or 1442(a) of the Code or any successor
provision (as modified by any applicable tax treaty) shall not be treated as
Withholding Taxes (and shall be treated as Other Taxes) (i) to the extent such
amount exceeds the tax that would have been required to have been withheld
using the withholding rate applicable to the Lender at the later of the date
hereof or the time such person became a Lender (giving effect to any reduced
rate of withholding in effect at the later of the Reinstatement Date or the
time such Person became a Lender, if such Person supplies the Prescribed Forms
indicating entitlement to such rate) and (ii) if the Lender so notifies
Borrower within one year after such Lender became aware thereof.

        (b)      Other Taxes.  Borrower agrees to and shall pay any and all
present or future stamp, documentary, excise, property and other taxes, charges
or similar levies now or hereafter imposed (excluding only taxes imposed on the
overall net income or overall gross receipts of Administrative Agent or a
Lender, franchise taxes imposed on Administrative Agent or a Lender, or any
Affiliate thereof, and Withholding Taxes), which arise from any payment made
under this Agreement or the other Loan Papers or from the execution, delivery
or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the other
Loan Papers (hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").  Borrower shall
indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Other
Taxes (plus any taxes including, without limitation, any income or franchise
taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this
Section 2.11(b)) paid by Administrative Agent or such Lender (as the case may
be) and all liabilities (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and
expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such taxes
were correctly or legally asserted.  Such indemnification shall be made by
Borrower within 15 days from the date Administrative Agent or such Lender (as
the case may be) makes request therefor and provides Borrower with a receipt
evidencing payment thereof.

        (c)      Additional Amounts Payable by Borrower.  If Borrower shall be
required by law to deduct any amount in respect of Other Taxes from or in
respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or under any Note to
Administrative Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable by Borrower shall be
increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under





                                                                              37
<PAGE>   43
this Section 2.11) Administrative Agent or such Lender (as the case may be)
receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii)
Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority
or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

        (d)      Tax Receipts; Refunds.  Within 30 days after the date of any
payment of Other Taxes by or at the direction of Borrower, Borrower will
furnish to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt
evidencing payment thereof. In the event that (i) Administrative Agent or any
Lender ever receives any refund, credit or deduction from any taxing authority
to which Administrative Agent or such Lender would not be entitled but for the
payment by Borrower of Other Taxes as required by this Section 2.11 (it being
understood that the decision as to whether or not to claim, and if claimed, as
to the amount of any such refund, credit or deduction shall be made by
Administrative Agent or such Lender in its sole discretion) and (ii)
Administrative Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) determines that such
refund, credit or deduction relates to such payment by Borrower of Other Taxes,
then Administrative Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) thereupon shall
repay to Borrower an amount with respect to such refund, credit or deduction
equal to (A) any net reduction in taxes actually obtained by Administrative
Agent or such Lender and determined by Administrative Agent or such Lender to
be attributable to such refund, credit or deduction less (B) all reasonable
expenses of Administrative Agent or such Lender attributable to such refund,
credit or deduction.  Administrative Agent and Lenders shall not be obligated,
in connection with any term or provision of this Section 2.11, to allow
Borrower to obtain copies of or to review any tax returns or books or records
of Administrative Agent or any Lender.

        (e)      Change of Lending Office.  Any Lender claiming any additional
amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.11 for Other Taxes shall use its
reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and
regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office, if
the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of,
any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue and would not, in the
reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such
Lender.

        (f)      Other Reasonable Efforts.  In addition to any actions
contemplated by Sections 2.11(d) and 2.11(e), Administrative Agent and each
Lender agrees that (i) it will take all other reasonable actions by all usual
means to avoid or to minimize amounts payable by Borrower under this Section
2.11; provided, however, that Administrative Agent and Lenders shall not be
obligated by reason of this Section 2.11 to contest the payment of any
Withholding Taxes or Other Taxes or to disclose any information regarding its
tax affairs or tax computations or





                                                                              38
<PAGE>   44
reorder its tax or other affairs or tax or other planning.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 2.11, in no event shall Borrower ever
be obligated to pay penalties assessed or interest on such penalties applicable
to past due Other Taxes if and to the extent that such penalties or interest on
such penalties are due to Administrative Agent's or such Lender's (as the case
may be) failure to comply with applicable laws.

                                  ARTICLE III

                                   GUARANTIES

3.1     GUARANTY AGREEMENTS.

        To guaranty and otherwise ensure full and complete payment and

complete payment and performance of the Obligations.

3.2     NEW CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES.

        Borrower shall, promptly after the occurrence of such creation or

                 (ii)    the creation of a wholly owned Subsidiary of Borrower

        Scrip Card Enterprises, Inc. and US HealthData Interchange,





                                                                              39

                 (iii)   the sale by CareStream Holdings of the CareStream

        Borrower's consolidated investment in the CareStream Operations from
        March 31, 1993 to the date of such sale (which investment aggregated
        $19,983,000 from March 31, 1993 through March 31, 1995) less $5,000,000
        (representing the amount of the dividend described in paragraph (i)
        above), which amount shall be evidenced by the CareStream Note, which
        shall be payable on the earlier of (1) the date of consummation of any
        public or private offering of shares of capital stock of New CareStream
        or any other transaction (whether sale of stock or assets, merger or
        other business combination) in which funds are received by Fox Health
        or any of its Subsidiaries (including without limitation New
        CareStream) in respect of the sale or other disposition of the
        CareStream Operations (or any interest therein) or (2) one year from
        the date of the CareStream Note, which note shall be secured by a first
        priority pledge and security interest in the capital stock and assets
        distributed or sold to Fox Health as part of the CareStream
        Transactions and (B) the CareStream Indemnity.

        (b)      In order to induce Lenders to provide such waiver, Borrower
hereby represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

                 (i)     The CareStream Transactions are correctly described in
        clause (a) above and the memoranda dated October 3, 1995 and October
        13, 1995 (collectively, the "Transaction Description"), from Borrower.
        The Transaction Description does not omit any statement of a material
        fact necessary to make the statements contained therein or herein not
        misleading.

                 (ii)    The principal amount of the CareStream Note will be
        not less than the actual amount of all loans, advances, capital
        contributions and other investments made by Borrower and its
        Consolidated Subsidiaries in the CareStream Operations after March 31,
        1993, less $5,000,000.  After giving effect to the CareStream
        Transactions, (A) the maximum aggregate amount of





                                                                              40
<PAGE>   46
        (1) obligations of Borrower and the Consolidated Subsidiaries to pay
        the deferred or contingent purchase prices for the CareStream
        Operations and (2) all Guaranties and other contingent obligations of
        Borrower and the Consolidated Subsidiaries for financing of the
        CareStream Operations shall not exceed $5,000,000, and shall be fully
        assumed and indemnified against by Fox Health pursuant to the
        CareStream Indemnity, and (B) neither Borrower or any Consolidated
        Subsidiary will have any other liabilities or obligations to, or any
        agreement to provide financial support for, the CareStream Operations.

                 (iii)   The consummation of the CareStream Transactions will
        not, and Borrower hereby agrees that the consummation of the CareStream
        Transactions shall not, violate the terms of, or give rise to a default
        under, the 7.09% Notes, the 7.09% Note Guaranties or the 7.09% Note
        Purchase Agreements, the agreements and instruments evidencing the
        Revolving Receivables Purchase Program, the  Existing Credit Facility
        or any other material agreement, any law, rule or regulation, or any
        order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award, to
        which Borrower or any Consolidated Subsidiary is a party or by which it
        or any of its material Assets are bound or affected.  None of the
        CareStream Transactions will have a Material Adverse Effect.

                 (iv)    After giving effect to the CareStream Transactions,
        Borrower and each of the Operating Subsidiaries will be Solvent, both
        as a separate corporate entity and on a consolidated basis with its
        Subsidiaries.

        (c)      On the basis of the representations and warranties in this
Section 3.3 and subject to clause (d) below, Lenders agree (i) to waive the
provisions of this Agreement set forth in clause (a) above insofar as may be
required to effect the CareStream Transactions and (ii) to release and
terminate the Guaranty Agreements of the following Guarantors:  Healthcare
Connect, Inc., OmNex Health, Inc., Health Care Pharmacy Providers, Inc.,
NexCare, Inc., Scrip Card Enterprises, Inc. and US HealthData Interchange,
Inc.; provided that the release contemplated by this clause (c) shall not
become effective if a Potential Default or an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing.

        (d)      The waiver provided in clause (c) above shall be effective,
and Administrative Agent shall be authorized to release and terminate the
Guaranty Agreements of the Consolidated Subsidiaries named in clause (c) above,
upon satisfaction of the following, in a manner acceptable to Administrative
Agent, on or





                                                                              41

Effective Date"):

                 (i)     Borrower shall provide Administrative Agent with at
        least five Business Days' notice of the proposed consummation of the
        CareStream Transactions, which notice shall include copies of the
        proposed CareStream Note, CareStream Pledge Agreement and CareStream
        Indemnity (collectively, the "CareStream Transaction Documents"), and
        the CareStream Transaction Documents shall be in form and substance
        satisfactory to Administrative Agent.  The CareStream Transactions
        shall be consummated as contemplated by this Section 3.3, and all
        proceedings taken in connection with the CareStream Transactions shall
        be satisfactory to Administrative Agent and its counsel.

                 (ii)    Borrower and CareStream Holdings shall have received
        the CareStream Note, the CareStream Pledge Agreement and the CareStream
        Indemnity, duly executed by Fox Health, together with certificates
        representing all of the capital stock required to be pledged pursuant
        thereto and related stock powers duly endorsed in blank.

                 (iii)   Administrative Agent shall have received evidence that
        all Intercompany Notes of Health Care Pharmacy Providers, Inc. and the
        other Subsidiaries of CareStream Holdings shall be repaid in full or
        contributed to capital and included in the principal amount of the
        CareStream Note.

                 (iv)    Administrative Agent shall have received an opinion of
        Weil, Gotshal & Manges, counsel to Borrower and the Operating
        Subsidiaries, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative
        Agent, (A) that the CareStream Transaction Documents have been duly
        authorized, executed and delivered by Fox Health and New CareStream and
        constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Fox Health and
        New CareStream, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms
        (subject as to enforcement of remedies to any applicable bankruptcy,
        reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws or principles of equity
        affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally), (B) that the
        execution, delivery and performance of the CareStream Transaction
        Documents do not violate the terms of, or give rise to a default under,
        the 7.09% Notes, the 7.09% Note Guaranties or the 7.09% Note Purchase
        Agreements, the agreements and instruments evidencing the Revolving
        Receivables Purchase Program or the  Existing Credit Facility, any law,
        rule or regulation, or any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or
        determination or award, to which Borrower or any Consolidated
        Subsidiary is a party or by which it or any of its material Assets are
        bound or affected,





                                                                              42
<PAGE>   48
        (C) that the CareStream Pledge Agreement creates a valid and
        enforceable pledge of and security interest in the capital stock and
        assets intended to be subject thereto, and (D) as to such other matters
        as Administrative Agent deems appropriate.

                 (v)     Before and after giving effect to the CareStream
        Transactions, the representations and warranties provided in Article V
        shall be true and correct on the Release Effective Date as if made on

                                   ARTICLE V

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

        Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and
Lenders, and each Operating Subsidiary, as to matters relating to such
Operating Subsidiary, hereby represents and warrants to Administrative Agent
and Lenders, as follows:

5.1     ORGANIZATION, STANDING, QUALIFICATION.

        Each of Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries (a) is a corporation
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
State of incorporation, (b) has all requisite power, corporate or otherwise, to
conduct its business and to execute and deliver, and perform its obligations
under, the Loan Papers, and (c) is duly qualified to transact business as a
foreign corporation in each jurisdiction when the nature of its Assets or the
conduct of its business requires such qualification and where the failure to so
qualify could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

5.2     AUTHORIZATION, ENFORCEABILITY, ETC.

        (a)      The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower and
Consolidated Subsidiaries of the Loan Papers have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action and do not and will not (i) violate any provision of
any material agreement, law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment,
injunction, decree, determination or award presently in effect to which
Borrower or any Consolidated Subsidiary is a party or by which it or any of its
material Assets are bound or affected, (ii) result in, or require the creation
or imposition of, any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) upon or with respect
to any Asset owned by Borrower or any Consolidated Subsidiary, or (iii) except
as may be disclosed on Schedule 2, result in a breach of, or constitute a
default by Borrower or any Consolidated Subsidiary under, any indenture, loan
or credit agreement or any other material contract, agreement, document or
instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its Assets are bound
or affected.

        (b)      No approval, authorization, order, license, permit, franchise
or consent of or registration, declaration, qualification or filing, and no
lapse of a waiting period or lack





                                                                              48
<PAGE>   54
of objection, with or from any Tribunal or other Person is required in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower or any
Consolidated Subsidiary of any Loan Papers to which it is a party or by which
it or any of its Assets are bound or affected, except for approvals,
authorizations, orders, licenses, permits, franchises, consents,
representations, declarations, qualifications and filings which have been duly
obtained, taken, given or made and are in full force and effect.

        (c)      This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by
Borrower and Operating Subsidiaries, and constitutes legal, valid and binding
obligations of Borrower and Operating Subsidiaries, enforceable against
Borrower and Operating Subsidiaries in accordance with its terms, subject to
applicable Debtor Relief Laws.  The other Loan Papers to which Borrower or any
Consolidated Subsidiary is a party, when duly executed and delivered by
Borrower or such Consolidated Subsidiary, will constitute legal, valid and
binding obligations of Borrower or such Consolidated Subsidiary, as the case
may be, enforceable against Borrower or such Consolidated Subsidiary in
accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable Debtor Relief
Laws.

5.3     FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND BUSINESS CONDITION.

        Borrower's Financial Statements (including the Base Financial
Statements) were and, when delivered pursuant to Section 6.3, will be prepared
in accordance with GAAP and fairly present the consolidated and consolidating
financial conditions and results of operations of Borrower and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries as of, and for the fiscal year (or portion thereof, as the case
may be) ended or ending on, the date(s) thereof, subject to Year-End
adjustments (if applicable).  There were and will be no material liabilities,
direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, of Borrower or any Consolidated
Subsidiary as of the dates of Borrower's Financial Statements (including the
Base Financial Statements) which are not or will not be reflected therein or in
the notes thereto or which otherwise have not been disclosed to Administrative
Agent and Lenders in Schedule 2.  There has not occurred any material adverse
change in the financial condition of Borrower or any Consolidated Subsidiary
from the financial condition shown in the Base Financial Statements, and
neither Borrower nor any Consolidated Subsidiary has incurred any material
liability, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent except in the ordinary
course of its business as currently conducted.  No event or events have
occurred, and no circumstance or circumstances exist, which, individually or
collectively, has or have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.4     FILING OF TAX RETURNS.

        Each of Fox Health, Borrower and the Consolidated Subsidiaries has
properly and timely filed all material tax





                                                                              49
<PAGE>   55
returns required to have been filed in accordance with applicable law.  All
such returns are correct and complete in all material respects.  All taxes
shown to be due and payable on such returns, including interest, penalties and
additions to tax, and all other taxes which are payable by any thereof, to the
extent the same have become due and payable, have been paid.  Borrower and
Operating Subsidiaries are not aware of any Proposed Tax Liability of
$20,000,000 or more in the aggregate.  All tax liabilities of each of Fox
Health, Borrower and the Consolidated Subsidiaries are adequately provided for
in accordance with GAAP.  No income tax liability of Fox Health, Borrower or
any Consolidated Subsidiary has been asserted by the Internal Revenue Service
for taxes in excess of those already paid, except as is being contested by such
taxpayer in good faith consistent with the requirements therefor set forth in
Section 6.l(d).  The Tax Sharing Agreement is a legal, valid and binding
obligation of Fox Health and Borrower, enforceable against Fox Health and
Borrower in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable Debtor Relief
Laws.  Neither Fox Health nor Borrower is in breach or default of its
obligations under the Tax Sharing Agreement.  The foregoing representations do
not apply to tax returns and taxes of Fox Health attributable to any period
commencing after the date hereof, if during such period neither Borrower nor
any Consolidated Subsidiary is a member of an affiliated group (as defined in
Section 1504 of the Code), or any similar group for state, local or other tax
purposes, in which Fox Health is a member.  As of the date hereof, to the best
of Borrower's knowledge, there are no taxes to which Fox Health is subject and
for which Borrower or any Consolidated Subsidiary could be held liable under
applicable law other than by reason of Borrower's status as a member of such an
affiliated group or similar group.

5.5     TITLE TO PARTIES; PRIOR LIENS.

        Each of Borrower and the Consolidated Subsidiaries has good and
indefeasible title to all material Assets purported to be owned by it (except
for minor defects in title and minor encumbrances not in any case materially
detracting from the value of the Assets affected thereby) and to all Inventory
and Receivables purported to be owned by it, except for Receivables sold
pursuant to the Revolving Receivables Purchase Program.

5.6     LEASES.

        All material real property leases, if any, under which Borrower or
Consolidated Subsidiary is lessee or tenant are in full force and effect, and
there does not exist any default or potential default thereunder by which any
such lease could be terminated.

5.7     OWNERSHIP OF BORROWER AND SUBSIDIARIES.

        As of the date hereof, the ownership (record and beneficial) of
Borrower (exclusive of the identities of





                                                                              50
<PAGE>   56
Borrower's public stockholders) and the Consolidated Subsidiaries is accurately
set forth on Schedule 2 hereto.

5.8     SOLVENCY.

        Each of Borrower and each Operating Subsidiary is, both as a separate
corporate entity and on a consolidated basis with its subsidiaries, and both
before and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, Solvent.

5.9     BUSINESS; COMPLIANCE.

        Each of Borrower and the Consolidated Subsidiaries has performed and
complied with all material obligations required to be performed or complied
with by it, and is not in default (to the extent it could reasonably be
expected to be materially and adversely affected) under any license, permit,
order, authorization, grant, contract, agreement or regulation material to its
business to which it is a party or by which it or any of its Assets are bound
or affected.  The businesses and operations of each of Borrower and the
Consolidated Subsidiaries have been and are being conducted in accordance with
all applicable laws, rules and regulations of all Tribunals except such laws,
rules and regulations where the failure to perform or comply could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.10    LICENSES, PERMITS, ETC.

        Borrower and each Consolidated Subsidiary possesses such valid
Proprietary Rights and consents, authorizations, exemptions and orders of
Tribunals or otherwise as are necessary or appropriate to carry on its business
as now being or currently proposed to be conducted.

5.11    LITIGATION, PROCEEDINGS, ETC.

        Except as otherwise provided in Schedule 2, to Borrower's and each
Operating Subsidiary's knowledge, there are (a) no investigations, actions,
suits, proceedings, orders or injunctions pending or threatened against or
affecting Borrower or any Consolidated Subsidiary or its Assets, at law or in
equity, or before or by any Tribunal which (i) either has had or could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) either has
related or could reasonably be expected to relate to the Loans, the
Commitments, the Facility or the other transactions contemplated by the Loan
Papers, and (b) no accidents, acts or actions have occurred which involve any
claim not fully covered by insurance which could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither Borrower nor any Consolidated Subsidiary is
in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction or decree of any
Tribunal, which default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material
Adverse Effect.





                                                                              51
<PAGE>   57
5.12    PLANS AND FOX HEALTH PLANS.

        (a)      As of the date hereof, Schedule 2 identifies all Plans and
Schedule 3 identifies all Fox Health Plans (collectively in such regard, the
"ERISA Plan Schedules").  No act, omission, or other event occurring before
October 20, 1992 with respect to any Fox Health Plan, either alone or in
combination with other acts, omissions, or events occurring at any time,
creates or results in any liability to Borrower or any Consolidated Subsidiary
existing on or after the date hereof except as otherwise disclosed herein.
Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, no representation or
warranty in this Section 5.12 relating to an Fox Health Plan shall apply with
respect to any period of time prior to October 20, 1992.

        (b)      Each Plan and Fox Health Plan has been maintained at all times
in compliance, in all material respects, with its provisions and applicable
law, including, without limitation, compliance with the applicable provisions
of ERISA and the Code.  All Plans and Fox Health Plans intended to be qualified
under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code are and always have been so
qualified (or can be corrected to be treated as so qualified by the IRS under
its Closing Agreement Program, Voluntary Compliance Resolution Program, or any
other similar program without any material liability to Borrower or any
Consolidated Subsidiary) and have either received IRS determination letters to
this effect or applications for such letters are currently pending or will be
filed within the time limits under Section 401(b) of the Code.  Nothing has
occurred prior to or since the issuance of such letters (or filings of such
applications) to cause the loss of qualification or tax exemption under the
Code of any of such Plans or Fox Health Plans (except as may qualify for
correction and retroactive restoration or deemed restoration under the IRS
Closing Agreement Program, Voluntary Compliance Resolution Program, or any
other similar program without any material liability to Borrower or any
Consolidated Subsidiary).

        (c)      There has been no material prohibited transaction (within the
meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) or other breach of
fiduciary duty with respect to any Plan or Fox Health Plan.  Without limiting
the generality of any other provision hereof, except with respect to the Fox
Health Plans listed on Schedule 3, neither Borrower nor any Consolidated
Subsidiary is directly, indirectly or contingently liable with respect to any
"employee benefit plans" as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA with respect to
which Fox Health or any Fox Health Member is a party or bound or with respect
to which Fox Health or any Fox Health Member shall have any direct or indirect
or contingent liability.  Neither Borrower nor any Consolidated Subsidiary is
directly, indirectly, or contingently liable with respect to the Weirton
Liabilities Agreement.  With respect to any Plan or Fox Health Plan, the
Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates (i) have not incurred and do not expect to
incur any material accumulated funding deficiency under Section 302 of





                                                                              52
<PAGE>   58
ERISA (whether or not waived or the time periods extended), (ii) have not
incurred and do not expect to incur any material liability to the PBGC, and
(iii) have not yet had asserted and do not expect to have asserted against them
any material penalty, interest or excise tax under the Code or ERISA.

        (d)      With respect to each Plan and Fox Health Plan, in all material
respects, (i) all required contributions and payments have been made, (ii) all
benefits due thereunder have been paid, and (iii) each such plan is able to
fully pay benefits thereunder when due.  No Termination Event has occurred or
is expected to occur with respect to any Plan or Fox Health Plan which, either
alone or in the aggregate, could result in any material liability to the
Borrower and all of its Consolidated Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

        (e)      With respect to all Plans and Fox Health Plans in the
aggregate, the sum of the following does not exceed $5,000,000:  (i) the amount
of any unfunded facility or plant shut down benefit or other "unpredictable
contingent event benefit," within the meaning of Section 412(l)(7)(B) of the
Code, and (ii) with respect to only those Plans and Fox Health Plans which have
benefit liabilities (as defined in Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA, and as
determined on the basis of assumptions prescribed by the PBGC for purposes of
ERISA Section 4044) which exceed the fair market value of their assets, the
aggregate amount of unfunded benefit liabilities (within the meaning of Section
4001(a)(18) of ERISA) for all such Plans and Fox Health Plans.  As of March 31,
1992, with respect to all Plans, if any, providing health benefits to any
former employee or dependent of such employee for periods subsequent to the
severance of such employee's employment (other than pursuant to Section 4980B
of the Code), the excess of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation
(as determined under Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") No. 106) over the

                                                                              53

respective corporate existences separate and apart from Fox Health or any other
Affiliates of Fox Health; (ii) maintained or controlled physical possession of
all of their books and records (except, in the case of a Consolidated

capitalization adequate for the conduct of their business (except, in the case
of a Consolidated Subsidiary, where its Assets and operations are immaterial);
(iv) accounted for, managed and identified separately all of their liabilities
and Assets apart from those of Fox Health and any other Affiliates of Fox
Health; (v) allocated overhead costs accordingly wherever offices are not

kept their funds separate, and not commingled, with those of Fox Health or any
other Affiliate of Fox Health and used their funds only for their own purposes,
except for payments made under the Tax Sharing Agreement.  The officers and
directors of Borrower, the Operating Subsidiaries and the other Consolidated
Subsidiaries have at all times conducted their business and affairs in
accordance with their independent judgment and have been responsible for all
matters (other than matters customarily delegated to others under powers of
attorney) for which a corporation's own officers and directors would

any other Consolidated Subsidiaries have held themselves out to the public or
to any of their creditors as being a unified entity with assets and liabilities
in common with any other Person.  Neither Borrower, any Operating Subsidiary
nor any other Consolidated Subsidiary has exercised any control over, or had

knowledge, no union or other labor organization is seeking to be organized, or
to be recognized as, a collective bargaining unit of employees of Borrower or
any Consolidated Subsidiary.   Except as set forth on Schedule 2, there is no

respective employees which would be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

        Borrower and each Consolidated Subsidiary are members of an affiliated
corporate group and are engaged in a common enterprise, and the expertise and
efforts of Borrower and each Consolidated Subsidiary support and benefit the

Subsidiary expect to derive substantial benefit (and Borrower and each
Consolidated Subsidiary may reasonably be expected to derive substantial
benefit), directly and indirectly, from the Loans and the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, both in their separate capacities and as a
member of an affiliated and integrated corporate group.  Each Operating
Subsidiary will receive reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the

                                   COVENANTS

6.1     AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

        So long as any portion of the Obligations remains unpaid or any Lender
is committed to make any Advance hereunder:

        (a)      Payment and Performance of Obligations.  Borrower shall pay
all principal, interest, fees and other charges with respect to the Obligations
when and as the same become due and payable in accordance with the Loan Papers;
and Borrower and each Operating Subsidiary shall strictly observe and perform,
or cause to be observed and performed, all covenants, agreements, terms,
conditions and limitations contained in the Loan Papers applicable to it or,
with respect to Borrower, any Consolidated Subsidiary and shall do all things
necessary to prevent the occurrence of any default thereunder.

        (b)      Maintenance of  Existence; Qualification and Assets.  Borrower
and each Operating Subsidiary shall at all times maintain, and, with respect to
Borrower, cause each Consolidated Subsidiary to maintain, (i) its legal
existence (except as otherwise required or permitted by Section 6.2(m) with
respect to Consolidated Subsidiaries other than Operating Subsidiaries), (ii)
its qualification to transact business and good standing in all jurisdictions
where the nature of its Assets





                                                                              57
<PAGE>   63
or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and where the
failure to so qualify could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse
Effect, and (iii) its material Assets (and exclusive of obsolete Assets) in
proper repair, working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

        (c)      Maintenance of Insurance and Indemnification Rights.  Borrower
and each Operating Subsidiary shall at all times maintain, and, with respect to
Borrower, cause each Consolidated Subsidiary to maintain, insurance covering
such risks and in such amounts as is customarily maintained by businesses
similarly situated, including, without limitation, insurance covering the

insurance is maintained); (ii) employer's liability insurance; (iii)
comprehensive general public liability and property damage insurance; (iv)
insurance against loss or damage by fire, lightning, hail, tornado, explosion
and other similar risk; and (v) comprehensive automobile liability insurance.
Borrower and each Operating Subsidiary shall at all times maintain, and, with
respect to Borrower, cause each Consolidated Subsidiary to maintain, valid and
enforceable indemnification rights pursuant to such agreements and in such
amounts as is customarily maintained by businesses similarly situated,
including, without limitation, indemnification rights against drug
manufacturers relating to liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
Borrower, any Operating Subsidiary or any other Consolidated Subsidiary in any
way relating to or arising out of the use of drugs or pharmaceuticals
manufactured by such manufacturers and sold by Borrower, any Operating
Subsidiary or any other Consolidated Subsidiary.

        (d)      Payment of Taxes and Claims.  Borrower and each Operating
Subsidiary shall pay and, with respect to Borrower, shall cause each
Consolidated Subsidiary to pay, in all material respects, any taxes imposed
upon it or any of its Assets or with respect to any of its franchises,
businesses, income or profits before any penalty or interest accrues thereon
and all claims (including, without limitation, claims for labor, services,
materials and supplies) for sums which have become due and payable and which by
law have or might become a vendor's Lien or landlords', mechanics', laborers',
materialmen's, operator's, statutory or other similar Lien affecting any of its
Assets; provided, however, that neither Borrower nor any Consolidated
Subsidiary shall be required to pay any such taxes or claims if and to the
extent that (i) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is currently (at
the time in question) being contested in good faith by appropriate action
promptly initiated and diligently conducted, and (ii) such Person shall have
set aside





                                                                              58
<PAGE>   64
on its books reserves (to the extent required by GAAP) that are adequate for
the payment of such taxes or claims; and provided, further, however, that all
such taxes and claims shall in any event be paid forthwith upon the
commencement of any proceedings to foreclose any Lien which may have attached
as security therefor.  Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of
any taxes or claims contested by Fox Health, Borrower or any Consolidated
Subsidiary and the circumstances relating thereto, in detail reasonably
satisfactory to Administrative Agent; provided, however, that this sentence
shall apply to taxes contested by Fox Health only to the extent that the same
(including any applicable interest, penalties or additions to tax) are in
excess of $5,000,000 and only during such time as Fox Health and Borrower are
members of an "affiliated group" as such term is defined in Section 1504(a) of
the Code or if such taxes arose during such period of time.  Borrower shall
cause Fox Health to pay, before any penalty or interest accrues thereon, all
taxes of whatever form (including, without limitation, all "Taxes" as such term
is defined in the Tax Sharing Agreement) imposed upon Fox Health by any
applicable law, rule or regulation to the extent that Borrower could become
liable for the payment of such taxes; provided, however, that Borrower shall
not be required to cause Fox Health to pay any such taxes if and to the extent
that (A) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is currently (at the
time in question) being contested in good faith by appropriate action promptly
initiated and diligently conducted and (B) Fox Health shall have set aside on
its books reasonable reserves (to the extent required by GAAP) that are
adequate for the payment of such taxes; and provided, further, however, that
all such taxes shall in any event be paid by Fox Health forthwith upon the
commencement of any proceedings to foreclose any Lien which may have attached
as security therefor.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
the immediately preceding sentence, the failure of Fox Health to pay taxes when
due shall not constitute a violation of this Section 6.1(d) unless the amount
of such taxes (including any applicable interest, penalties or additions to
tax) not paid when due exceeds in the aggregate $5,000,000.

        (e)      Compliance with Laws and Documents.  Borrower and each
Operating Subsidiary shall comply, and, with respect to Borrower, shall cause
each Subsidiary of Borrower to comply, in all material respects, with the
provisions of any and all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders,
Governmental Requirements and agreements material to its businesses and
operations, including, without limitation, Environmental Laws, and shall
maintain or cause to be maintained its ability to fully perform its obligations
thereunder.  With respect to each Plan or Fox Health Plan which is subject to
the minimum funding standards of ERISA, Borrower shall ensure that the Person
responsible therefor at all times makes (and Borrower shall cause such Person
to make) prompt payments of both contributions required to be made to meet such
minimum funding standards (without regard to any waivers thereof or extensions
of time therefor) and





                                                                              59
<PAGE>   65
contributions required under (i) the terms of such Plan or Fox Health Plan,
(ii) any contractual obligations (including, without limitation, collective
bargaining agreements) relating to such Plan or Fox Health Plan, and (iii) any
law pertaining thereto.  In addition, for each Multiemployer Plan with respect
to which Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate of Borrower has any Withdrawal
Liability, Borrower shall ensure that the Group Member or Fox Health Member
responsible therefor at all times makes (and Borrower shall cause such Person
to make) prompt payment thereof.

        (f)      Inspections.  Borrower and each Operating Subsidiary shall, at
any reasonable time and from time to time during business hours after
Administrative Agent shall have given Borrower at least one Business Day's
prior notice, permit, and, with respect to Borrower, shall cause each
Subsidiary of Borrower to permit, any agents or representatives of
Administrative Agent or any Lender to inspect any of Borrower's, each Operating
Subsidiary's and each other Subsidiary's Assets and to examine and make copies
of and abstracts from its records and books of account and to discuss its
affairs, finances and accounts with any of its officers, employees or, subject
to reasonable notice, independent public accountants (and by this provision
Borrower and Operating Subsidiaries authorize said accountants to discuss with
Administrative Agent and Lenders and their agents and representatives, the
affairs, finances and accounts of Borrower, Operating Subsidiaries and the
other Subsidiaries of Borrower).  In furtherance of the foregoing, but not by
way of limitation thereof, Borrower and the Operating Subsidiaries shall permit
Administrative Agent to conduct during normal business hours after reasonable
notice to Borrower, from time to time at Borrower's expense, a review and
examination of the Inventory and Receivables, and related systems, of Borrower
and the Consolidated Subsidiaries, which review and examination may include a
verification of the amounts of Inventory and Receivables in the financial
statement of Borrower and the Consolidated Subsidiaries; provided, however,
that if the Administrative Agent shall conduct more than one such review and
examination in any calendar year, the Borrower shall only be required to
reimburse Administrative Agent for the expenses related to the first of such
reviews and Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be responsible for the
expenses relating to each subsequent review in such calendar year.

        (g)      Records.  Borrower and each Operating Subsidiary shall keep,
and, with respect to Borrower, shall cause each Consolidated Subsidiary to
keep, adequate books and records reflecting all financial transactions of such
Person, in which complete entries shall be made in accordance with GAAP.

        (h)      Expenses.  Borrower shall promptly pay, from time to time
upon request made by Administrative Agent, any and all reasonable costs, fees
and expenses paid or incurred by Administrative Agent incident to this
Agreement or any other Loan Paper or any amendment thereto or the filing or
recordation, if


                                                                              60
<PAGE>   66
appropriate, thereof (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
expenses of Administrative Agent and counsel to Administrative Agent incurred
in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and administration
of the Loan Papers and any amendment thereto and the filing or recordation, if
appropriate, of any Loan Papers).  In addition, Borrower shall promptly pay,
from time to time upon request made by Administrative Agent or any Lender after
the occurrence of an Event of Default, any and all reasonable costs, fees and
expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender incident to (A) the
collection and enforcement of the Loans, the Obligations and the Loan Papers,
(B) the exercise of any right or remedy under or with respect to the Loans, the
Obligations and the Loan Papers and (C) the defense or prosecution of any
action, suit or proceeding under or with respect to the Loans, the Obligations
and the Loan Papers.  Without limiting the obligations of Borrower under the
preceding sentence, each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate the
costs, fees and expenses for which Borrower is liable under the preceding
sentence, by engaging the services of one common counsel on behalf of all
Lenders in each applicable jurisdiction, but only if and to the extent that,
and for such period of time as, such Lender reasonably determines that the use
of such common counsel is consistent with its best interests under the
applicable circumstances.

        (i)      Maintenance of Assets.  Borrower and each Operating Subsidiary
shall maintain, and, with respect to Borrower, shall cause each Consolidated
Subsidiary to maintain, all Proprietary Rights and other Assets material to the
conduct of its business as heretofore or to be conducted by it.

        (j)      Workers' Compensation.  If and to the extent that Borrower or
any Consolidated Subsidiary is or becomes a non-subscriber under any applicable
State workers' compensation statute, Borrower and each Operating Subsidiary
shall, and, with respect to Borrower, shall cause each such Consolidated
Subsidiary to, consistently take all reasonable precautions as may be necessary
or appropriate to minimize the risk of loss to Borrower and such Consolidated
Subsidiary associated with, or arising from, claims that would otherwise be
covered by such State workers' compensation statute if Borrower or such
Consolidated Subsidiary had continued to subscribe under such statute.

        (k)      Further Assurances. Borrower and each Operating Subsidiary
shall execute and deliver, or shall cause to be executed and delivered, any and
all other and further agreements, documents, instruments and certificates as,
in the judgment of Administrative Agent, may be necessary or appropriate to
more effectively evidence or secure the Obligations and the performance of the
terms and provisions of the Loan Papers.





                                                                              61
<PAGE>   67
        (l)      Ownership of Consolidated Subsidiaries.  Borrower shall ensure
that each Operating Subsidiary remains a wholly-owned Consolidated Subsidiary,
and Borrower shall ensure that each other currently existing Consolidated
Subsidiary (other than FoxMeyer Software, Inc.) remains a wholly-owned
Consolidated Subsidiary except as may result from sales, mergers or
dissolutions expressly permitted in Sections 6.2(m) or 6.2(n).

        (m)      Rank of Obligations.  Borrower and each Operating Subsidiary
shall, and shall cause each Consolidated Subsidiary to, do all acts necessary
to ensure that their respective Obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Papers rank, and at all times shall rank at least pari passu in right of
payment with all other (if any) senior, unsubordinated Indebtedness of
Borrower, Operating Subsidiaries and Consolidated Subsidiaries, respectively,
including without limitation the 7.09% Notes, the 7.09% Note Guaranties and the
Indebtedness under the  Existing Credit Facility.

Operating Subsidiary shall, and Borrower shall not permit any Consolidated
Subsidiary to, create, incur, assume, have outstanding, act as surety with
respect to, guarantee or otherwise be or become directly or indirectly
absolutely or contingently, liable or obligated with respect to any
Indebtedness, except Permitted Indebtedness.  Nothing contained in this Section

Operating Subsidiary in respect of Receivables sold under the Revolving
Receivables Purchase Program.

        (b)      Ownership and Creation of Subsidiaries.  Neither Borrower nor
any Operating Subsidiary shall permit any change in the ownership of any
Consolidated Subsidiary except as permitted pursuant to Sections 6.2(m) or (n).
Neither Borrower nor any Operating Subsidiary shall create any Consolidated
Subsidiary after the date hereof, except for the sole purpose of effecting a
merger, consolidation or acquisition permitted by Sections 6.2(k), 6.2(l)(vii),
6.2(m) and 6.2(n).

        (c)      No Amendment.  Neither Borrower nor any Operating Subsidiary
shall cause or permit any amendment or modification of the Certificate or
Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of Borrower or any Consolidated Subsidiary
that could reasonably be expected to affect adversely the rights or interests
of Administrative Agent or Lenders under the Loan Papers or authorize the
issuance of Redeemable Capital Stock or Preferred Stock; provided that Borrower
may authorize the issuance of Preferred Stock (which may or may not be
Redeemable Capital





                                                                              62

the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date of issuance thereof.

        (d)      Working Capital Borrowing Base.  Borrower shall not permit, as
of the last day of any calendar month (commencing with September 1995), (i) the
product of 1.85 times the sum of (A) all consolidated Indebtedness of Borrower
and the Consolidated Subsidiaries (other than obligations under any Interest
Rate Protection Agreements and Permitted Indebtedness referred to in clause (e)
of the definition thereof) as of such day plus (B) the aggregate amount paid by
purchasers of Receivables (and property of account debtors securing such
Receivables) or interests therein under the Revolving Receivables Purchase
Program to be recovered from Receivables (and such property) outstanding as of
such day, to exceed (ii) the sum of the Receivables Amount and the Inventory

        (e)      Minimum Net Worth.  Borrower shall not permit Net Worth, as of
June 30, 1995, to be less than $417,510,000.  Borrower shall not permit Net
Worth, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter ending after June 30, 1995
(the "fiscal quarter"), to be less than an amount equal to the sum of (i) the
minimum Net Worth required pursuant to this Section 6.2(e) as of June 30, 1995,
or if later, the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, plus
(ii) subject to the qualification below, 75% of the positive amount (if any) of
net income (after taxes) of Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries during
the subject fiscal quarter, plus (iii) 100% of the proceeds to Borrower of
issuances of its capital stock (other than Redeemable Capital Stock) during the
subject fiscal quarter, minus (iv) any increase during such fiscal quarter in
the Phar-Mor Net Worth Adjustment Amount and minus (v) the amount of Push Down
Accounting Adjustment made (or plus the amount thereof reversed) during such
fiscal quarter.  For purposes of calculating the amounts referred to in clause
(ii) above, net income shall be determined by excluding the reduction, if any,
to net income attributable to either any reserves or write-offs for doubtful
accounts or related collection expenses with respect to the Phar-Mor
Receivables or any reduction to net income (including without limitation any
reduction for expenses, other than interest expense associated with related
borrowing) incurred in connection with the Tender Offer.  Borrower and FoxMeyer
Drug Company shall not permit the Net Worth of any Operating Subsidiary at any

(i.e., as to each of clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) preceding) if (but only

6.2(j) of the Existing Credit Facility as in effect on the date hereof have
been satisfied and, in the cases of clauses (A), (C), (D) and (E) preceeding,
no Potential Default or Event of Default exists or will occur or may reasonably
be expected to occur.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however (i.e., whether or
not the conditions set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of Section 6.2(j) of
the  Existing Credit Facility as in effect on the date hereof are satisfied and
whether or not a Potential Default or Event of Default exists or will occur),

as does not exceed the aggregate amount of the tax liability to which such
payment relates that is both payable to the applicable taxing authority by the
Consolidated Group and is actually paid to the applicable taxing authority in a
reasonably prompt fashion.  Subject to the rights of Borrower under the Tax
Sharing Agreement, the portion of the FoxMeyer Group Tentative Tax Liability or
the FoxMeyer Group Interim Tax Liability (as the case may be) which remains
unpaid as a result of the application of clause (a), (b) or (c) of Section

such time, if any, and to the extent that, each of the conditions set forth in
clause (a), (b) and (c) of Section 6.2(j) of the  Existing Credit Facility as
in effect on the date hereof would be satisfied immediately following such
payment.  For purposes of this Section 6.2(j), the terms "FoxMeyer Group",
"FoxMeyer Group Tentative Tax Liability", "FoxMeyer Group Interim Tax
Liability" and "Consolidated Group" shall have the meanings given to such terms
in the Tax Sharing Agreement.

        (k)      Acquisitions.   Except as may result from the mergers
permitted pursuant to Section 6.2(m), neither Borrower nor any Operating
Subsidiary shall, and Borrower shall not permit any Consolidated Subsidiary to,
acquire all or substantially all of the Assets of any other Person or of a
division or other business unit thereof or Securities representing more than

provided, however, that (i) any Operating Subsidiary may purchase Inventory in
bulk and purchase or lease the warehouses where such Inventory is located upon
terms that are fair and reasonable to such purchaser, (ii) Borrower or any
Operating Subsidiary may acquire all or substantially all of the Assets of any
other Consolidated Subsidiary other than FoxMeyer Drug Company, (iii) Borrower,
any Operating Subsidiary or any Healthcare Connect Subsidiary may acquire all
or substantially all of the Assets of any other Person or of a division or
other business units thereof (a "Business") or Securities representing more

and (except in the case of FoxMeyer Canada) neither such Person is nor the
Assets or operations of such Person are, or could reasonably be expected to be
subject to any material loss contingency required by GAAP to be disclosed in
the financial statements of such Person and (D) the aggregate purchase price
for all such acquisitions of Businesses or equity Securities (other than
Securities of FoxMeyer Canada) pursuant to this clause (iii) during any fiscal
year of Borrower may not exceed $25,000,000 (exclusive, in the case of the
acquisition of a Business or all of the equity Securities of any other Person,
of amounts properly allocable to working capital in accordance with GAAP), and
provided further that this clause (iii) shall not permit the acquisition of any
Securities of (A) Fox Health, (B) Centaur Partners IV, (C) any Affiliate of any
of the foregoing (other than Borrower, a Consolidated Subsidiary or FoxMeyer
Canada) or (D) FoxMeyer Canada if such acquisition would cause the limit
provided in clause (b) of the proviso in the definition of Consolidated
Subsidiary to be exceeded, and (iv) Borrower may acquire Receivables from any
Consolidated Subsidiary for sale under the terms of the Revolving Receivables
Purchase Program.  For the purposes of clause (iii) above, payments made

deemed included in the purchase price for an acquisition for the





                                                                              66

        (l)      Loans, Advances and Investments.  Neither Borrower nor any
Operating Subsidiary shall, and Borrower shall not permit any Consolidated
Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly make any loan, advance, extension of

interests in, any Person except (i) Permitted Investments, (ii) acquisition of

contributions to Consolidated Subsidiaries other than Operating Subsidiaries
consistent with prudent business practices and not to exceed $15,000,000 in
aggregate amount (as to all such Consolidated Subsidiaries collectively) at any
time outstanding, provided that in calculating the outstanding amount of such
loans, advances and capital contributions, there shall not be counted (1)
amounts loaned, advanced or contributed to a Consolidated Subsidiary from
amounts received by Borrower or any Operating Subsidiary from any other
Consolidated Subsidiary (excluding an Operating Subsidiary), (2) amounts of
loans, advances or contributions permitted by clauses (iv)(A) through (C) above
or (E) below or (3) amounts of loans, advances or contributions to a

would not cause the limit provided in clause (b) of the proviso in the
definition of Consolidated Subsidiary to be exceeded, (viii) the making and
maintenance of the Fox Health Loan, subject to Section 6.2(j); provided,
however, that neither Borrower nor any Operating Subsidiary shall, and Borrower
shall not permit any Consolidated Subsidiary to, make any loan, advance,
extension of credit or capital contribution to, make any investment in, or
purchase or commit to purchase any Securities





                                                                              67

or evidences of financial obligations of, or interests in, (A) Fox Health
(other than the making and maintenance of the Fox Health Loan, subject to
Section 6.2(j)), (B) Centaur Partners IV, (C) any director, executive officer
or partner of Fox Health, Centaur Partners IV or Borrower, or (D) any Affiliate
of any of the foregoing (other than Borrower or a Consolidated Subsidiary to

provided, further, however, that accounting adjustments and operating expense

and attorneys' fees and expenses) may be made between Borrower and Fox Health
in the ordinary course of Borrower's business and, subject to Section 6.2(j),

amount of any Minority Equity Investment in Phar-Mor, Inc. received in
satisfaction of the Phar-Mor Receivables pursuant to the plan of reorganization
in the Phar-Mor Bankruptcy shall, to the extent of such satisfaction, be deemed
to be zero, but any payment of cash or other consideration (whether in respect
of the exercise or subscription price for options, subscription rights or other
securities or otherwise) shall reduce, to the extent of such payment, the
amount available under such clause (vii).

        (m)      Mergers and Dissolutions.  Neither Borrower nor any Operating
Subsidiary shall, and Borrower shall not permit any Consolidated Subsidiary to
(i) merge or consolidate with any Person or (ii) be dissolved or liquidated;
provided, however, that Healthcare Connect Subsidiaries may be merged into
other Healthcare Connect Subsidiaries, other Consolidated Subsidiaries other
than Operating Subsidiaries may be dissolved or may be merged with and into
Borrower or other Consolidated Subsidiaries and Harris Wholesale may be merged
with and into FoxMeyer Drug Company so long as, with respect to any such merger
as to which Borrower or any Operating Subsidiary is a party, (1) Borrower or
such Operating Subsidiary, as the case may be, and FoxMeyer Drug Company in the
case of a merger of Harris Wholesale with and into FoxMeyer Drug Company, shall
be the entity surviving such merger and (2) the Consolidated Subsidiary to be
merged is Solvent at the time of such merger or such merger will not cause the
surviving entity to cease to be Solvent[; and provided also that Health Care
Pharmacy Providers, Inc. may form a wholly owned Subsidiary for the purpose of
holding its existing systems technology (and no other material assets) and
merge such Subsidiary into FoxMeyer Canada, if (A) immediately after the
merger, Borrower and Health Care Pharmacy Providers, Inc. shall own at least
40% of the outstanding share capital of the amalgamated company resulting from
the merger and (B) as of the date of the merger and after giving effect
thereto, no Potential Default or Event of Default exists or would exist].  The
word "consolidate" in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence shall
not be construed to refer to a consolidation for tax reporting purposes.





                                                                              68
<PAGE>   74
        (n)      No Sales of Certain Assets; Negative Pledge; No Negative
Pledge in Favor of Other Lenders.  Neither Borrower nor any Operating
Subsidiary shall, and Borrower shall not permit any Consolidated Subsidiary to,
directly or indirectly, (i) sell, transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise
dispose of, or create, or allow to be created or to otherwise exist, any Lien
upon, any of the Inventory, Receivables, Intercompany Notes or capital stock of
any Operating Subsidiary except for (A) Permitted Liens described in clause (e)
of the definition of such term, (B) sales of Inventory made in the ordinary

transfers of Receivables from the Consolidated Subsidiaries to Borrower for
such sale or other disposition, or (ii) sell, transfer, assign, encumber or
otherwise dispose of, or create, or allow to be created or to otherwise exist,
any Lien upon, any of its Assets other than described in clause (i) above
except for Permitted Liens, sales of such other Assets for full and fair
consideration made in the ordinary course of business or otherwise consistent
with prudent business practices and, subject to the consent of Administrative
Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, sales of capital stock
of Consolidated Subsidiaries (other than Operating Subsidiaries or the
Healthcare Connect Subsidiaries or the Subsidiaries of the Healthcare Connect
Subsidiaries) for full and fair consideration; provided, however, that neither
Borrower nor any Operating Subsidiary shall sell, transfer, assign, encumber or
otherwise dispose of any capital stock of any Operating Subsidiary, provided
also, that Borrower shall cause the Fox Health Loan to be secured at all times
by collateral equal or greater in value, on the date of delivery of such
collateral, to the then outstanding balance of the Fox Health Loan.   Except as
set forth in this Section 6.2(n) or the other Loan Papers in favor of
Administrative Agent and Lenders, in the 7.09% Note Purchase Agreements, under
the terms of the Revolving Receivables Purchase Program or under the  Existing
Credit Facility, neither Borrower nor any Operating Subsidiary shall, and
Borrower shall not permit any Consolidated Subsidiary to, (1) covenant or
agree, with any other lender(s) or other Person(s), not to create, or not to
allow to be created or otherwise exist, any Lien upon any Asset of Borrower or
any Consolidated Subsidiary, or (2) covenant or agree, with any other lender(s)
or other Person(s), to any other arrangement that is functionally equivalent or
similar to a negative pledge (provided, however, that such a negative pledge or
the functional equivalent thereof may be created or otherwise exist in favor of
other lender(s) or other Person(s) with respect to Assets of Borrower or any
Consolidated Subsidiary other than Inventory and Receivables to the same extent
that Permitted Liens, other than Permitted Liens in favor of Administrative
Agent and Lenders, are permitted to be created or otherwise exist (pursuant to
this Agreement) in favor of such other lender(s) or other Person(s) with
respect to the same Assets).  Without the





                                                                              69
<PAGE>   75
prior written consent of Required Lenders, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld except in the case of any issuance prohibited by Section
6.2(c) or any issuance by any Healthcare Connect Subsidiary or its
Subsidiaries, neither Borrower nor any Operating Subsidiary shall cause, permit
or consent to the issuance of any Securities of any Consolidated Subsidiary to
any Person other than Borrower or a Consolidated Subsidiary; provided that
equity Securities of any Person whose equity Securities are acquired pursuant
to Section 6.2(k)(iii) may be issued by such Person at the time of or as
consideration for such acquisition if after the issuance thereof Borrower, the
Operating Subsidiaries or the Healthcare Connect Subsidiaries own more than
fifty percent (50%) of the equity Securities of such Person.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (x) any factoring or sale of Receivables in bulk and (y) any
sale involving a net disposition (after taking into account any contemporaneous
purchases) of 25% or more of the consolidated property, plant and equipment of
Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries shall each be deemed not to be a
sale in the ordinary course of business and, except for sales of Receivables
pursuant to the Revolving Receivables Purchase Program, shall be prohibited by
this Section 6.2(n).

        (o)      Fiscal Year.  Borrower shall not change its fiscal year from
that in effect on the date hereof.

        (p)      Plans.  Neither Borrower nor any Operating Subsidiary shall,
and Borrower shall not permit any Subsidiary, Fox Health, or any Fox Health
Member to, take any action (or, if applicable, fail to take any action) that
will cause any representation or warranty contained in Section 5.l2, if made on
and again as of any date on or after the date hereof, to not be true.

        (q)      Transactions with Affiliates.  Neither Borrower nor any
Operating Subsidiary shall, and Borrower shall not permit any Subsidiary to,
enter into any transactions with any Affiliate except in the ordinary course
and pursuant to the reasonable requirements of such Person's business and upon
fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to such Person than would result in
a comparable arms' length transaction with a Person who is not an Affiliate;
provided, however, that Borrower may make and maintain the Fox Health
Loan(subject to Section 6.2(j)) and maintain the Tax Sharing Agreement and the
Fox Health Management Agreement.   Except as permitted pursuant to Sections
6.2(j), 6.2(k), 6.2(l) or 6.2(m), neither Borrower nor any Operating Subsidiary
shall, directly or indirectly, make any payments to any Affiliate or Affiliates
exceeding $250,000 in aggregate amount (as to Borrower and Operating
Subsidiaries collectively) during any fiscal year.

        (r)      Intercompany Notes, etc.  Borrower and Operating Subsidiaries
shall not amend or modify any Intercompany Note in any manner that could
adversely affect the rights or interests of Administrative Agent or Lenders
under the Loan Papers.  Without





                                                                              70
<PAGE>   76
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Intercompany Notes shall at all
times remain expressly subordinate to the payment of the Obligations pursuant
to the subordination terms and provisions currently contained therein.  Any and
all Indebtedness (if any, whether now in existence or hereafter incurred) of
any Operating Subsidiary to Borrower of the same type as or a similar type to
(in terms of function or purpose) the Indebtedness evidenced by the
Intercompany Notes shall be evidenced by a promissory note(s) containing terms
and provisions similar to the terms and provisions contained in the
Intercompany Notes and shall at all times remain expressly subordinate to the
payment of the Obligations pursuant to subordination terms and provisions
essentially identical to those currently contained in the Intercompany Notes.
Neither Borrower nor any Operating Subsidiary shall sell, transfer, assign,
encumber or otherwise dispose of, or create, or allow to be created or to
otherwise exist, any Lien upon, any Intercompany Note or any other Indebtedness
(if any, whether now in existence or hereafter incurred) of any Operating
Subsidiary to Borrower of the same type as or a similar type to (in terms of
function or purpose) the Indebtedness evidenced by the Intercompany Notes.

        (s)       Exceptions to Covenants.  Neither Borrower nor any Operating
Subsidiary shall take or fail to take, and Borrower shall ensure that no
Consolidated Subsidiary takes or fails to take, any action which is permitted
by any of the covenants contained in this Agreement if such action or omission
would result in the breach of any other covenant contained in this Agreement or
another Loan Paper.

        (t)      Sales of Goods to Phar-Mor.  Borrower shall not, and Borrower
shall not permit any Consolidated Subsidiary to, sell goods to Phar-Mor, Inc.
during the pendency of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings involving
Phar-Mor, Inc. unless either (a) payment in full is received prior to or
concurrently with the delivery of such goods, (b) at the time of delivery of
such goods the Final Order, dated October 23, 1992, of the Court in the
Phar-Mor Bankruptcy, among other things, granting Liens and providing priority
administrative expense status to Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of
the sales of such goods is in effect (or an equivalent order of the Court in
the Phar-Mor Bankruptcy shall be in effect granting the same Liens and
providing the same priority status) and such Liens and status secure and assure
the payment of the full purchase price of such goods, (c) Borrower or its
Subsidiary, as the case may be, is legally obligated to deliver (and has no
then effective right not to deliver) such goods to Phar-Mor, Inc. pursuant to
the terms and conditions described in Schedule 2 or (d) Borrower has received
the prior written consent thereto of Administrative Agent and Documentation
Agent.

        (u)      Customer Receivables.  Neither Borrower nor any Operating
Subsidiary shall permit, and Borrower shall not permit any Consolidated
Subsidiary to, have outstanding and unpaid at





                                                                              71
<PAGE>   77
any time to any one customer and all Affiliates of such customer Receivables in
an aggregate amount exceeding ten percent (10%) of the sum of (i) the Net Worth
of Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of the end of the fiscal
quarter of Borrower then most recently ended and (ii) the amount of the Push
Down Accounting Adjustment as of such quarter end; provided that such
Receivables may be increased to fifteen percent (15%) of such Net Worth and
Push Down Accounting Adjustment if Administrative Agent and the Documentation
Agent, in their sole discretion for such times and on such conditions as they
may require, consent to such increase in writing and so confirm to Lenders in
the particular case of any customer.  For the purpose of the foregoing, the
Phar-Mor Receivables shall be deemed not to be Receivables subject to the
limitations imposed by this Section 6.2(u).

        (v)      Tax Sharing Agreement.  Borrower shall not make any payment to
Fox Health with respect to any tax liability of Borrower unless such payment
(including the amount thereof) is required under and is in compliance with the
Tax Sharing Agreement.  Borrower shall not amend, renew, extend or otherwise
modify the Tax Sharing Agreement without the prior written consent of
Administrative Agent and Majority Lenders.

        (w)      Fox Health Loan Documents; Other Documents.  Borrower shall
not allow to occur any of the following without the prior written consent of
Administrative Agent and Majority Lenders:  (i) a reduction in the interest
rate applicable to the Fox Health Loan except as may be expressly required or
permitted pursuant to the Fox Health Loan Documents as in effect on the date
hereof, (ii) a delay in a date for the payment of accrued interest with respect
to the Fox Health Loan, (iii) an extension of the final maturity date of the
Fox Health Loan as provided in Section 1.4(a) of the Fox Health Loan Agreement
to a date later than December 31, 1999, or (iv) an increase in the maximum
aggregate principal amount of loans at any time outstanding under the Fox
Health Loan Agreement in excess of $30,000,000.  Borrower shall not allow to

of the Fox Health Loan Agreement without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent.  Borrower shall not allow to occur any of the following
without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and Majority Lenders:

                               EVENTS OF DEFAULT

7.1     NATURE OF EVENTS.

        An "Event of Default" shall exist if any one or more of the following
shall occur:

        (a)      Payments.  Borrower shall fail to make any payment of
principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses or other amounts with respect to the
Obligations on or before the date such payment is due and, except with respect
to principal or interest for which there shall be no notice requirement or cure
period, such failure shall continue for a period of ten days following
Borrower's receipt of notice thereof from Administrative Agent;

        (b)      Covenant Defaults.  Borrower, any Operating Subsidiary or any
other Consolidated Subsidiary shall fail to observe or perform any covenant or
agreement contained in Sections 6.1(b), 6.1(c), 6.1(d), 6.1(e) (except the
covenant contained in the first sentence thereof), 6.1(g), 6.1(l) or 6.1(m),
Section 6.2 or Sections 6.3(d), 6.3(e) or 6.3(k)(i) or (iv); or Borrower, any
Operating Subsidiary or any other Consolidated Subsidiary shall fail to observe
or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in the Loan Papers (other
than covenants and agreements pertaining to payment obligations of Borrower
which shall be governed by Section 7.1(a)) and such failure shall continue for
a period of 30 days following Borrower's receipt of notice thereof from
Administrative Agent; any such failure shall constitute an Event of Default
whether or not Borrower, any Operating Subsidiary or any Consolidated
Subsidiary shall have the power or authority to prevent such failure (e.g., an
Event of Default may result from matters relating to Fox Health or an Fox
Health Member under Sections 6.1(d), 6.1(e) and 6.2(p) whether or not Borrower
or any Operating Subsidiary or Consolidated Subsidiary has the power or
authority to affect such matters);





                                                                              77
<PAGE>   83
        (c)      Representations or Warranties.  Any representation, warranty
or other statement made or deemed made by or on behalf of Borrower, any

Any Event of Default (as defined in the 7.09% Note Purchase Agreements) shall
occur; or any Event of Default (as defined in the  Existing Credit Facility)
shall occur; or any one or more Events of Default (as defined in the CareStream
Note, the CareStream Pledge Agreement or the CareStream Indemnity) shall occur;
or any Event of Default (as defined in any indenture, agreement, instrument or
other document governing or evidencing any Subordinated Debt) shall occur;

Indebtedness aggregating in excess of $5,000,000 (at any time outstanding) of
Borrower, any Operating Subsidiary or any other Consolidated Subsidiary, the
effect of which is (i) to cause or to permit any holder of such Indebtedness to
cause the same, or a material portion thereof, to become due prior to its
stated maturity or prior to its regularly scheduled date(s) of payment and such
right of acceleration is not waived by the holder (whether or not such
acceleration occurs), (ii) that all or any portion of any Indebtedness is
declared to be due and payable, or required to be prepaid (other than by
regularly scheduled payment) prior to the scheduled maturity thereof, or (iii)
that all or any portion of any such Indebtedness is not paid, renewed or
rearranged when due;

        (f)      Involuntary Proceedings.  A case is commenced or petition or

Consolidated Subsidiary (except any such other Consolidated Subsidiary which
has total Assets of not in excess of $5,000,000) under any Debtor Relief Law
and such case, petition or complaint remains in effect for more than 30 days; a
receiver, liquidator or trustee of Borrower, any Operating Subsidiary or any
such other Consolidated Subsidiary, or of any material Asset of Borrower, any
Operating Subsidiary or any such other Consolidated Subsidiary, is appointed by
court order and such order remains in effect for more than 45 days; or any
material Asset of Borrower, any Operating Subsidiary or any such other
Consolidated Subsidiary is sequestered by court order and such order remains in
effect for more than 45 days;

        (g)      Voluntary Proceedings.  Borrower, any Operating Subsidiary or
any other Consolidated Subsidiary (except any such other Consolidated
Subsidiary which has total Assets of not in excess of $5,000,000) voluntarily
seeks, consents to, or acquiesces in the benefit of any provision of any Debtor
Relief





                                                                              78

inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; or consents to the
appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator for it or any
part of its Assets;

        (h)      Undischarged Judgments.  Any judgment(s), decree(s) or

time outstanding) shall be rendered against Borrower, any Operating Subsidiary
or any other Consolidated Subsidiary and such judgment(s), decree(s) or
order(s) shall not be satisfied and shall be in effect for any period of 30
consecutive days without being vacated, discharged, satisfied or stayed or

        (k)      Change of Control.  The occurrence of any Change of Control;
provided, however, that the occurrence of a Change of Control which has been
consented to by Majority Lenders shall not constitute an Event of Default; and
provided further that, if no Subordinated Debt is then outstanding, Lenders
shall not unreasonably withhold such consent based upon such considerations
(including, without limitation, considerations regarding character and
reputation of management and conflicts of interest) as they shall reasonably
deem relevant;

        (l)      Guaranty Agreements.  Any of the Guaranty Agreements executed
by the Operating Subsidiaries shall be held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, or Borrower or any
Operating Subsidiary takes any action for the purpose of repudiating or
rescinding any Guaranty Agreement or the obligations of any Operating
Subsidiary thereunder, or Borrower or any Operating Subsidiary declares the
obligations of any Operating Subsidiary under its Guaranty Agreement are
unenforceable; or

        (m)      Material Adverse Effect.  The occurrence of any event or
events or the existence of any circumstance or circumstances which,

<PAGE>   85
7.2     CONCURRENT ACCELERATION.

        In the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in
Sections 7.1(f) or 7.1(g), the aggregate unpaid amount of the Obligations shall
immediately, and concurrently with the occurrence of such Event of Default,
become due and payable in full without any action or notification of any kind
required by Administrative Agent or any Lender, including, without limitation,
presentment, demand, protest or notice of protest, dishonor, notice of
intention to acceleration and notice of acceleration, all of which are
expressly hereby waived by Borrower.

7.3     CERTAIN RIGHTS OF LENDERS.

        (a)      Remedies Upon Default.  Should an Event of Default occur,
Administrative Agent may, at its discretion, and, at the request of Required
Lenders, Administrative Agent shall, take any one or more of the following
actions:

                 (i)     Acceleration.  Without demand or notice of any nature
        whatsoever, declare the unpaid balance of the Obligations, or any part
        thereof, immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall be due
        and payable (unless accelerated automatically pursuant to Section 7.2);

                 (ii)    Termination.  Terminate the Aggregate Commitment in
        its entirety or as to any portion thereof, to the extent Administrative
        Agent or Required Lenders shall deem appropriate;

                 (iii)   Judgment.  Reduce any claim to judgment;

                 (iv)    Setoff.   Exercise the rights of setoff or banker's
        Lien against the interests of Borrower or any Consolidated Subsidiary
        in and to every account and other Assets of Borrower or any
        Consolidated Subsidiary which are in the possession of Administrative
        Agent or any Lender, or any Affiliate of any thereof, to the extent of
        the full amount of the Obligations; and

                 (v)      Exercise of Rights.   Exercise any and all other
        rights or remedies afforded by any applicable laws as Administrative
        Agent or Required Lenders shall deem appropriate, or by the Loan
        Papers, at law, in equity, or otherwise, including, but not limited to,
        the right to bring suit or other proceeding before any Tribunal, either
        for specific performance of any covenant or condition contained in the
        Loan Papers or in aid of the exercise of any right or remedy granted to
        Administrative Agent or any Lender in the Loan Papers.





                                                                              80
<PAGE>   86
        (b)      Performance by Administrative Agent.  Should any covenant,
duty or agreement of Borrower or any Operating Subsidiary fail to be performed
in accordance with the terms of the Loan Papers, Administrative Agent may, at
its discretion, perform or attempt to perform, such covenant, duty or agreement
on behalf of Borrower or such Operating Subsidiary.  In such event, Borrower
shall, at the request of Administrative Agent, promptly pay to Administrative
Agent any amount expended by Administrative Agent in such performance or
attempted performance, together with interest accrued thereon at the Default
Rate until Administrative Agent is reimbursed therefor.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, it is expressly understood that Administrative Agent does not assume
and shall never have, except by its express written consent, any liability or
responsibility for the performance of any covenant, duty or agreement of
Borrower, any Operating Subsidiary or any other Consolidated Subsidiary under
the Loan Papers.

        (c)      Duties and Rights.  Administrative Agent and Lenders may
execute any of their duties or exercise any of their rights or remedies by or
in the name of Administrative Agent or any Lender and by or through any of
their officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or other
representatives.

        (d)      Lenders Not in Control.  Borrower and Operating Subsidiaries
acknowledge that none of the covenants or other provisions contained in this
Agreement shall give Administrative Agent or any Lender the right or power to
exercise control over the affairs or management of Borrower, any Operating
Subsidiary or any other Subsidiary of Borrower.

        (e)      Waivers.  The acceptance by Administrative Agent or any Lender
at any time and from time to time of partial payment of the Obligations shall
not be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or Potential Default then
existing.  No waiver by Administrative Agent or any Lender of any Event of
Default or Potential Default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or
subsequent Event of Default or Potential Default.  No delay or omission by
Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or remedy shall
impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver thereof or an
acquiescence therein, and no single or partial exercise of any such right or
remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any
other right or remedy under the Loan Papers or otherwise.   Except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement or by applicable law, Borrower, each Operating
Subsidiary and each surety, endorser, guarantor and other party liable for the
payment or performance of all or any portion of the Obligations severally waive
presentment and demand for payment, protest, and notice of protest, notice of
intention to accelerate, acceleration and nonpayment, and agree that their
liability shall not be affected by any renewal or extension in the time of
payment of any Obligation, or by any release or change in any security for the





                                                                              81
<PAGE>   87
payment or performance of the Obligations, regardless of the number of such
renewals, extensions, releases or changes.

        (f)      Cumulative Rights.  All rights and remedies available to
Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Loan Papers shall be cumulative of
and in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to Administrative
Agent or any Lender at law or in equity, whether or not the Obligations are due
and payable and whether or not Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have
instituted any suit for collection or other action in connection with the Loan
Papers.

        (g)       Expenditures by Lenders.  Any sums expended by or on behalf
of Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to the exercise of any right or
remedy shall, to the extent the same are required to be paid or reimbursed by
Borrower pursuant to Section 6.1(h), become part of the Obligations of Borrower
and shall bear interest at the Default Rate, from the date of such expenditure
until the date repaid.

        (h)      Indemnification of Administrative Agent and Lenders.  Borrower
and each Operating Subsidiary hereby jointly and severally indemnifies
Administrative Agent, Documentation Agent, each Lender and Administrative
Agent's, Documentation Agent's and each Lender's directors, officers,
employees, attorneys and agents (Administrative Agent, Documentation Agent,
each Lender and each such other Person is hereinafter called an "Indemnitee")
and holds them and each of them harmless from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements (collectively "Claims") of any
kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against any Indemnitee, in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan
Papers or any of the transactions contemplated therein (including, without
limitation, any Claims relating to or arising out of the execution or delivery

provisions hereof and thereof and the obligations thereunder, and the use of
the proceeds of the Loans) or the Environmental Laws, no matter how such Claims
arise or result, and including, without limitation, those Claims that may arise
or result from any Indemnitee's negligence or inadvertence; provided, however,
that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder (i) to the
extent that such Claims directly relate to or arise out of any breach by such
Indemnitee of its obligations under the Loan Papers, (ii) to the extent that
such Claims directly relate to or arise out of the relationship between (A) an
assignor Lender and an assignee Lender under this Agreement or (B) a Lender and
a participant of such Lender under this Agreement, or (iii) to the extent that
the Claims as to which such Indemnitee is seeking indemnification are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
order or judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee.  Such indemnification shall not give Borrower or
any





                                                                              82

Operating Subsidiary any right to participate in the selection of counsel for
any Indemnitee or the conduct or settlement of any dispute or proceeding for
which indemnification may be claimed.

        (i)      Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, and either (i) such Event of Default shall consist of a
failure of Borrower to make any payment of principal or interest with respect
to any Loan, (ii) Administrative Agent shall have declared the Loans
immediately due and payable or (iii) Required Lenders shall have requested
Administrative Agent to declare the Loans immediately due and payable, then
each Lender and each of its Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and
from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set
off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing
by such Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or account of
Borrower or any Guarantor against any or all of the Obligations now or
hereafter existing and held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such
Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Paper
and whether or not such Obligations shall be matured or unmatured.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                            THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

8.1     APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORIZATION; ADMINISTRATION; DUTIES.

        (a)      Administrative Agent.  The general administration of the Loan
Papers and any other documents contemplated by this Agreement shall be by
Administrative Agent or its designees.  Administrative Agent shall not be
required to exercise any right or remedy with respect to any Event of Default
except as may be expressly directed by Required Lenders.  In the event Required
Lenders direct Administrative Agent to exercise any right or remedy available
hereunder, Administrative Agent agrees to commence taking action with respect
to such right or remedy within a reasonable period of time and to diligently
pursue such action or to submit its resignation pursuant to Section 8.10.
Except as otherwise provided herein or otherwise agreed to by Administrative
Agent and Lenders in writing, each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes
Administrative Agent, at Administrative Agent's discretion, to take or refrain
from taking such actions as Administrative Agent on such Lender's behalf and to
exercise or refrain from exercising such powers, rights and remedies under the
Loan Papers and any other documents contemplated by this Agreement as are
delegated by the terms hereof or thereof, as appropriate, together with all
powers, rights and remedies reasonably incidental thereto.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing or any term or provision of this Agreement, Administrative Agent
shall have no duties or responsibilities except as expressly set forth in this
Agreement or the other Loan Papers.  Unless





                                                                              83
<PAGE>   89
otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement or in the other Loan Papers to the
contrary, all references in this Agreement and the other Loan Papers to
Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to Administrative Agent
in its capacity as agent for and on behalf of Lenders pursuant to this
Agreement and the other Loan Papers.

        (b)      Powers.  Each Lender irrevocably appoints and authorizes
Administrative Agent to exercise such powers, rights and remedies under this
Agreement and the other Loan Papers or otherwise as are delegated to
Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such
powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto, provided,
however, that, as between and among Lenders, Administrative Agent will not
prosecute, settle or compromise any claim against Borrower or any Consolidated
Subsidiary or release or institute enforcement proceedings against any guaranty
securing the Obligations, except with the consent of Required Lenders.  Any
action for enforcement of the interests of Lenders under the Loan Papers shall
be taken either as Administrative Agent for Lenders or directly in the
respective names of Lenders, as counsel to Administrative Agent may at the time
advise.  Subject to Section 9.7, Lenders consent and agree that any action
taken by Administrative Agent with the consent or at the direction of Required
Lenders as provided herein shall be taken for and on behalf of all Lenders,
including those who may not have so consented or directed; provided that any
Lender may direct Administrative Agent not to act for or on its behalf in any
such proceeding if such Lender executes in favor of Administrative Agent a
release of its rights to share in the benefits of any such action.  Lenders,
Borrower and Operating Subsidiaries agree that Administrative Agent is not a
fiduciary for Lenders, Borrower, any Operating Subsidiary or any other Person
but simply is acting in the capacity described herein to alleviate
administrative burdens for all parties hereto and that Administrative Agent has
no duties or responsibilities to Lenders, Borrower, any Operating Subsidiary or
any other Person except those (if any) expressly set forth herein.

8.2     ADVANCES AND PAYMENTS.

        On the date of each Advance, Administrative Agent shall be authorized,
but not obligated, to advance, for the account of each Lender making such
Advance, the amount of the Advance to be made by it in accordance with Article
II if and to the extent that such Lender does not make such amount timely
available to Administrative Agent for advance to Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement.  Each Lender agrees to immediately reimburse Administrative Agent in
immediately available funds for any amount so advanced on its behalf by
Administrative Agent.  If any such reimbursement is not made in immediately
available funds on the same day on which Administrative Agent shall have made
any such amount available on behalf of any Lender, such Lender shall pay
interest to Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Rate until such
reimbursement is made.  All amounts to be paid to





                                                                              84
<PAGE>   90
Lenders by Administrative Agent shall be credited to Lenders, forthwith after
collection by Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, in such
manner as Lenders and Administrative Agent shall from time to time agree.

8.3     SHARING OF PAYMENTS.

        Each Lender agrees that if it or any of its Affiliates shall obtain any
payment (whether voluntarily, involuntarily through the exercise of a right of
banker's Lien, setoff or counterclaim, including, without limitation, a secured
claim under the Bankruptcy Code or other security interest arising with respect
to or in lieu of such secured claim and received by such Lender under any
Debtor Relief Law, or otherwise) in respect of any Obligation owing to such
Lender as a result of which the unpaid portion of its Advances is
proportionately less than the unpaid portion of the Advances of other Lenders
(based upon the respective Pro Rata Shares of the Aggregate Commitment) (a) it
shall promptly purchase at par (and shall be deemed to have thereupon
purchased) from such other Lenders a participation in such Advances of such
other Lenders, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Advances
of each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of all Advances then outstanding as the principal of such
Advances of such Lender prior to the obtaining of such payment was to the
principal amount of all such Advances outstanding prior to the obtaining of
such payment, (b) it shall pay interest calculated at the Federal Funds Rate to
such other Lenders on the amount purchased from the date it received such
payment until the date of the purchase of such participation, and (c) such
other adjustments shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to
ensure that Lenders share such payment pro rata based upon their respective Pro
Rata Shares of the Aggregate Commitment.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, if a Lender shall obtain payment in respect of
Advances under any circumstances contemplated herein while any Advances shall
remain outstanding, such Lender shall promptly turn over such payment to
Administrative Agent for distribution, as appropriate, to Lenders on account of
the Advances as provided herein.  Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing
arrangements and agrees that any Lender or Lenders holding (or deemed to be
holding) a participation in any of the Loans or other Obligations may exercise
any and all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of
banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim) with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of
such participation.

8.4     DISTRIBUTION OF INFORMATION.

        Administrative Agent shall forward to all Lenders copies of all
financial statements and reports of a material nature furnished to it hereunder
by Borrower other than those which are by the terms hereof to be distributed by
Borrower directly to Lenders, provided, however, that any failure by
Administrative





                                                                              85
<PAGE>   91
Agent to do so shall not result in any liability to Administrative Agent.

8.5     NOTICE TO LENDERS.

         Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or except with respect
to communications or notices to be provided directly to Lenders by Borrower or
any Consolidated Subsidiary pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan
Papers, upon receipt by Administrative Agent from Borrower of any communication
calling for an action on the part of Lenders, or upon notice to Administrative
Agent of any Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall, in a prompt fashion,
give to Lenders notice of the nature of such communication or Event of Default,
as the case may be; provided, however, that any failure by Administrative Agent
to give any such notice shall not result in any liability to Administrative
Agent except if such failure constitutes gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

8.6     LIABILITY OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

        (a)      Other Agents.  Administrative Agent, when acting on behalf of
Lenders, may execute any of its responsibilities or duties under this Agreement
by or through its, or any Lender's, officers, directors, employees, attorneys
or agents.  All such officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, when
exercising the rights or performing the duties of Administrative Agent, shall
be deemed to be included in the term Administrative Agent.  Neither
Administrative Agent nor its officers, directors, employees, attorneys or
agents shall be liable to Lenders or any of them for any action taken or
omitted to be taken in good faith, or be responsible to Lenders or to any of
them for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment, or for any
loss, unless the same shall happen through its gross negligence or willful
misconduct.  Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees,
attorneys and agents shall in no event be liable to Lenders or to any of them
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it pursuant to instructions
received by it from Required Lenders or, to the extent contemplated hereby, any
of Lenders or in reliance upon the advice of counsel selected by it.  Without
limiting the foregoing, neither Administrative Agent nor any of its officers,
directors, employees, attorneys or agents shall be responsible to any of
Lenders for the due execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness,
sufficiency or enforceability of, or for any statement, warranty or
representation in, or for the perfection of any Lien contemplated by, this
Agreement or any other Loan Paper, or shall be required to ascertain or to make
any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by Borrower, any Operating
Subsidiary or any other Consolidated Subsidiary of any of the terms,
conditions, covenants or agreements of this Agreement or any other Loan Paper.





                                                                              86
<PAGE>   92
        (b)      No Responsibility for Failure of Performance.  Neither
Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys
or agents (when acting in its or their capacities as or on behalf of
Administrative Agent hereunder) shall have any responsibility to Borrower, any
Operating Subsidiary or any other Consolidated Subsidiary on account of the
failure or delay in performance or breach by any of Borrower, any Operating
Subsidiary, any other Consolidated Subsidiary or Lenders of any of their
respective obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Paper.

        (c)      Communications.  Administrative Agent, as agent hereunder,
shall be entitled to rely on any communication, instrument or document
reasonably believed by it to be genuine or correct and to have been signed or
sent by a Person or Persons believed by it to the proper Person or Persons, and
it shall be entitled to rely on advice of legal counsel, independent public
accountants and other professional advisers and experts selected by it.

8.7     REIMBURSEMENT AND INDEMNIFICATION.

        Each Lender agrees (a) if and to the extent not promptly reimbursed by
Borrower, to reimburse Administrative Agent, in accordance with such Lender's
Pro Rata Share of the Advances to which the same relate (except as provided
below in this Section 8.7), on demand, for reasonable fees, costs and expenses
incurred for the benefit of Lenders under the Loan Papers, including, without
limitation, reasonable counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees
paid for services rendered on behalf of Lenders, and any other reasonable
expense incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, administration,
monitoring or enforcement thereof, (b) if and to the extent not promptly
indemnified by Borrower, to indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent
and any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents, in
accordance with such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Advances to which the same
relate (except as provided below in this Section 8.7), on demand, from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it
or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any
other Loan Paper or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this
Agreement or any other Loan Paper (except such as shall result from their gross
negligence or willful misconduct), and (c) that Administrative Agent may offset
distributions of principal, interest and fees due to a Lender by the amount of
unreimbursed amounts due and owing in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 8.7 if such Lender has not reimbursed or indemnified Administrative
Agent upon a written request by Administrative Agent for reimbursement or
indemnification.  If and to the extent that Administrative Agent, in its
discretion, determines that any amount to be reimbursed or indemnified





                                                                              87
<PAGE>   93
pursuant to this Section 8.7 does not relate to any particular Loan or Letter
of Credit, such reimbursement or indemnification, as the case may be, shall be
made in accordance with such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate
Commitment.

8.8     RIGHTS OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND DOCUMENTATION AGENT.

        It is understood and agreed that Citicorp and NationsBank shall have
the same powers, rights, remedies and obligations hereunder (including the
right to give such instructions) as the other Lenders and may exercise such
powers, rights and remedies, as well as its powers, rights and remedies under
other agreements, documents, instruments and certificates to which it is or may
be party, and engage in other transactions with Borrower, any Operating
Subsidiary, any other Consolidated Subsidiary, or any other Affiliate of
Borrower, as though it were not the Administrative Agent or Documentation
Agent, as the case may be, under this Agreement.

8.9     INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION AND CREDIT DECISION BY LENDERS.

        Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it has decided to enter into
this Agreement and to make Loans hereunder based on its own analysis of (a) the
transactions contemplated hereby, (b) the creditworthiness of Borrower and
Consolidated Subsidiaries, (c) this Agreement and the other Loan Papers and (d)
the business, legal and other issues relating thereto, and further acknowledges
and agrees that neither Administrative Agent nor Documentation Agent shall bear
any responsibility therefor.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it will,
independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, Documentation
Agent or any other Lender, continue to make its own credit decisions and other
decisions regarding the taking or not taking of any action under this Agreement
or the other Loan Papers.

8.10    SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

        Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving at least five
Business Days' prior notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower.  Within 30 days
after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation,
Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative
Agent from among Lenders and, if such right is exercised, such Lender appointed
by Majority Lenders as such shall thereupon become successor Administrative
Agent (unless such Lender shall decline to accept such appointment).  If no
successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by Majority Lenders
and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring
Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation, the retiring
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent which shall either be a Lender or a commercial bank
reasonably acceptable to Borrower





                                                                              88
<PAGE>   94
constituting an Eligible Assignee and having capital and surplus of at least
$750,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative
Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the powers, rights,
remedies, privileges, responsibilities and duties of the retiring
Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged
from its responsibilities, duties and obligations under this Agreement.  After
any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative
Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent
under this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE IX


                                 MISCELLANEOUS

9.1     NOTICES.

        Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all notices or
other communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement
shall be in writing and may be personally served, telecopied, telefaxed,
telexed or sent by courier or first class prepaid mail (airmail if to an
address in a foreign country from the party writing) and shall be deemed to
have been given and received when delivered in person or by courier service,
upon transmission of a telecopy, telefax or telex or otherwise upon actual
receipt.  For purposes of this Agreement, the addresses of the parties to this
Agreement (until 15 days' prior notice of a change thereof is delivered as
provided in this Section 9.1) shall be as set forth below each party's name on
the signature pages hereof.

9.2     SURVIVAL.

        All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by
Borrower, any Operating Subsidiary or any other Consolidated Subsidiary herein
or in the other Loan Papers shall be considered to have been relied upon by
Administrative Agent and Lenders and shall survive the delivery of the Loan
Papers, the making of Loans and the creation and extension of the Obligations,
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Administrative Agent or
any Lender.  All covenants and agreements made by Borrower, any Operating
Subsidiary or any other Consolidated Subsidiary herein or in the other Loan
Papers regarding the payment of principal, interest, fees, taxes, costs or
expenses, and all covenants and agreements made (a) by Borrower, any Operating
Subsidiary or any other Consolidated Subsidiary or (b) by Lenders herein, (i)
to or in favor of any one or more of Administrative Agent and Lenders or (ii)
to or in favor of Administrative Agent, respectively, regarding any
indemnification or reimbursement or disclaimer of liability (including, without
limitation, the provisions of Sections 2.8,





                                                                              89
<PAGE>   95
2.11, 7.3(h), 7.3(i) and 8.7), shall survive the termination of this Agreement
  and the other Loan Papers.

9.3     GOVERNING LAW.

        THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN PAPERS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND APPLICABLE U.S.
FEDERAL LAWS.

9.4     LIMITATION ON INTEREST.

        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or
the other Loan Papers, none of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or
the other Loan Papers shall ever be construed to create a contract or
obligation to pay interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate; and
neither Administrative Agent, Documentation Agent nor any Lender shall ever
charge, receive, take, collect, reserve or apply, as interest on the
Obligations, any amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate.  In furtherance
of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that any interest, charge, fee,
expense or other obligation provided for in this Agreement or in the other Loan
Papers which constitutes interest under applicable law shall be limited to an
amount equal to the lesser of (a) the amount of such interest, charge, fee,
expense or other obligation that would be payable in the absence of this
Section 9.4, or (b) an amount, which when added to all other interest payable
under this Agreement or the other Loan Papers, equals the Maximum Lawful Rate.
If, notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent or any Lender ever
contracts for, charges, receives, takes, collects, reserves or applies as
interest any amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, such amount which
would be deemed excessive interest shall be deemed a partial payment or
prepayment of principal of the Obligations and treated hereunder as such; and
if the Obligations, or applicable portions thereof, are paid in full, any
remaining excess shall promptly be paid to Borrower (or to such other Person
who may be entitled thereto by law). In determining whether the interest paid
or payable, under any specific contingency, exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate,
Borrower, Operating Subsidiaries, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall, to
the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (i) characterize any
nonprincipal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest,
(ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize,
prorate, allocate and spread, as appropriate to reflect variation in the
Maximum Lawful Rate, the total amount of interest throughout the entire
contemplated term of the Obligations, or applicable portions thereof, so that
the interest rate does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate at any time during
the term of the Obligations; provided that, if the unpaid principal balance is
paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term
thereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence
thereof exceeds the Maximum Lawful Rate, Administrative Agent or Lenders, as
appropriate, shall





                                                                              90
<PAGE>   96
refund to Borrower (or to such other Person who may be entitled thereto by law)
the amount of such excess and, in such event, Administrative Agent and Lenders
shall not be subject to any penalties provided by any laws for contracting for,
charging, receiving, taking, collecting, reserving or applying interest in
excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate.

9.5     INVALID PROVISIONS.

        If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Papers is
held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws
effective during the term thereof, such provision shall be fully severable,
this Agreement and the Loan Papers shall be construed and enforced as if such
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof
or thereof, and the remaining provisions hereof or thereof shall remain in full
force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or
unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom. Furthermore, in lieu of
such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added
automatically as a part of this Agreement or the other Loan Papers (as the case
may be) a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

9.6     SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

        (a)  Interested Parties; Prohibition Regarding Assignment by Borrower.
This Agreement and the other Loan Papers shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of Borrower, Operating Subsidiaries, Lenders, Administrative Agent and
Documentation Agent and their respective successors and assigns; provided,
however, that neither Borrower nor any Operating Subsidiary may assign,
transfer or delegate any of its rights, duties or obligations under this
Agreement or the other Loan Papers without the prior written consent of
Administrative Agent and Lenders.  Lenders may assign, sell and transfer their
interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Papers only in accordance with this Section 9.6.

        (b)      Assignment by Lenders.  Any Lender may assign to one or more
Eligible Assignees all or any portion of its interests, rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Papers; provided, however, that (i)
each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of
all of the assigning Lender's interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement, (ii) the amount of each such assignment (determined as of the date
of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall not be
less than the lesser of (A) the entire amount of such Lender's Advances or (B)
the principal amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof.  In addition, if any Lender shall not consent to any amendment
or waiver requested by Borrower hereunder, at any time following 45 days
thereafter,





                                                                              91
<PAGE>   97
Borrower may require such Lender to assign all its rights and obligations to
another financial institution chosen by Borrower and acceptable to
Administrative Agent, for a purchase price equal to the sum of all amounts
owing to such Lender under the Loan Papers, calculated as if the Advances of
such Lender were being repaid).  The parties to each such assignment shall
execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording
in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with the Notes subject
to such assignment, and a processing and recordation fee of $2,500 payable to
Administrative Agent; provided, however, that such fee shall not apply in the
circumstances contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence.  Upon such
execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the "Effective
Date" specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, which "Effective Date",
unless Administrative Agent agrees otherwise, shall not be earlier than five
Business Days after the date of acceptance and recording by Administrative
Agent on behalf of Borrower (provided, however, that, as between the assigning
Lender and the assignee thereunder only, the effective date shall be the
effective date of execution and delivery as between such Persons as specified
in the Assignment and Acceptance), (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a
Lender under this Agreement and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and
Acceptance, have the interests, rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder
and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such
Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the
remaining portion of the assigning Lender's interests, rights and obligations
under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender under
this Agreement).  Each Lender shall, in a reasonably prompt fashion after it
has engaged in any material discussions with an Eligible Assignee that
apparently will lead to an assignment referred to in this Section 9.6(b),
notify Borrower of the identity of such Eligible Assignee unless such Eligible
Assignee has expressly requested that its identity remain confidential;
provided, however, that the failure to give any such notification shall not
result in any liability to such Lender and shall not affect the rights of
Lenders or the obligations of Borrower hereunder.

        (c)      Assignment to Affiliates.  Notwithstanding the other
provisions of this Section 9.6, each Lender may at any time make an assignment,
sale or transfer of all or any portion of its interests, rights and obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Papers, and may make an assignment,
sale or transfer of any participation therein, to any Affiliate of such Lender
whether or not such Affiliate is an Eligible Assignee.   Except as stated in
this Section 9.6(c), any such assignment shall be made pursuant to, and upon
the execution and delivery to Administrative Agent for its acceptance and
recording of, an Assignment and Acceptance and pursuant to the terms and
provisions of Sections 9.6(b) and 9.6(d) (including payment to

                                                                              93
<PAGE>   99
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest
error and Borrower, Consolidated Subsidiaries, Administrative Agent and Lenders
may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the
terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The
Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, Consolidated
Subsidiaries and Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon

required form, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the
information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice
thereof to Lenders and Borrower.  Within five Business Days after its receipt

Borrower, any Consolidated Subsidiary or Administrative Agent, sell
participations to one or more Lenders in all or a portion of its interests,
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Loans or Commitment) held by it; provided, however, that (i) such Lender shall
remain a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement and the transferee of such
participation shall not constitute a Lender under this Agreement, (ii) such
Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (iii) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations, (iv) the participating banks or other entities
shall be entitled to the benefit of the provisions contained in Sections 2.8
and 2.11 to the same extent as if they were Lenders, except that no such
participant shall be entitled to receive any greater benefit pursuant to
Section 2.8 than its assignor Lender would have been entitled to receive with
respect to the rights participated, and (v) Borrower, Consolidated
Subsidiaries, Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's
interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall

<PAGE>   100
to enforce the obligations of Borrower, Operating Subsidiaries and other
Consolidated Subsidiaries relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, provided that such
participation agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any
amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or the other Loan Papers,
without the consent of such participant, that would (A) reduce the principal or
the rate of interest payable by Borrower on any Loan or reduce any fees payable
to it by Borrower, (B) postpone any date fixed for the payment of principal of
or interest on the Loans or any fees payable to it by Borrower, (C) increase
any Commitment of any Lender or subject any Lender to any obligation to make
Loans, (D) release any Guaranty guaranteeing any of the Obligations, or (E)
amend Section 9.7 or any other provision of this Agreement requiring the
consent or other action of all Lenders.

        (h)      Disclosure.  Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment
or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this
Section 9.6, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or
participant any information relating to Borrower, any Operating Subsidiary or
any other Subsidiary of Borrower, the Loan Papers furnished to such Lender by
or on behalf of the Borrower, any Operating Subsidiary or any other Subsidiary
of Borrower; provided, however, that, prior to any such disclosure, each such
assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an
agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to
customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of any non-public
information received from such Lender on the same terms and conditions as
contained in Section 9.13.

        (i)      Substitution of Lenders.  If (i) any Lender has demanded
compensation under Section 2.8(a) in an aggregate amount exceeding $15,000
during any calendar year, (ii) any Lender has claimed any additional amounts
payable under Section 2.11(c) for Other Taxes not applicable to Citicorp in an
aggregate amount exceeding $15,000 during any calendar year, (iii) any Lender
is or becomes insolvent or a receiver, conservator or similar authority is
appointed for any Lender, then Administrative Agent or Borrower shall have the
right, but not the obligation, upon notice to such Lender and Borrower or
Administrative Agent, as applicable, to designate, with the consent of such
assignee, an assignee for any such Lender, which assignee shall be an Eligible
Assignee mutually satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Borrower, to
purchase such Lender's Loans and Commitments and assume such Lender's
obligations; provided, however, that Borrower shall not have the right to
designate any assignee for Citicorp.  Within ten Business Days after any such
notice to such Lender and Borrower or Administrative Agent, as applicable, such
Lender shall be obligated to sell its Loans and Commitment, and such assignee
shall be obligated to purchase such Loans and assume such Lender's obligations,
pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance.  The purchase price therefor shall be
an amount equal





                                                                              95

Lender, plus (B) all accrued and unpaid interest on such Loans, plus (C) all
accrued and unpaid fees and other amounts due to such Lender pursuant to this
Agreement.

        (j)      Assignment to Federal Reserve Bank. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Section 9.6, any Lender may at any time or
from time to time assign as collateral all or any portion of its rights under
this Agreement with respect to its Loans, Commitment and Note to a Federal
Reserve Bank.  No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its
obligations under this Agreement.

9.7     ENTIRETY AND AMENDMENTS.

        Except as provided in Section 2.6 regarding fees, this Agreement and
the other Loan Papers embody the entire agreement between or among the parties
hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, supersede all prior commitment
letters, term sheets, discussions, agreements and understandings, if any,
relating to the subject matter hereof, and, except as provided below, neither
this Agreement nor any provision hereof or of any of the Loan Papers may be
waived, amended or modified except by an agreement in writing executed jointly
by Borrower, Operating Subsidiaries and Required Lenders, and the same may be
supplemented only by documents delivered or to be delivered in accordance with
the express terms hereof, provided however, that, without the prior written
consent of all Lenders, no such agreement shall (a) change or amend the
principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any date for the payment of
any principal of or interest on, any Advance, or waive or excuse any such
payment or any part thereof, or change or amend the rate of interest on any
Loan (other than any such change in the rate of interest resulting from a
change in the Base Rate in accordance with the definition of such term), (b)
change or amend the Commitment or obligations of any Lender, the provisions of
this Section 9.7 or the definitions of "Majority Lenders" or "Required
Lenders", (c) release any Guaranty guaranteeing any of the Obligations other
than the release of any Guaranty of any Consolidated Subsidiary which has total
Assets of not in excess of $5,000,000 (which other release shall only require
the consent of the Majority Lenders), (d) change any fee payable to
Administrative Agent or any Lender other than the agency fees referred to in
the Fee Letter, or (e) increase the amount of the Aggregate Commitment;
provided, further, that no such agreement shall change or amend or otherwise
affect the powers, rights, remedies or duties of Administrative Agent or
Documentation Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of
Administrative Agent or Documentation Agent, respectively.  Each Lender and
each holder of a Note shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification
authorized by this Section 9.7 regardless of whether its Note shall have been
marked to make reference thereto, and any consent by any Lender or holder of a
Note pursuant to this


                                                                              96

Borrower, any Operating Subsidiary or any other Consolidated Subsidiary or its
stockholders or any other Person.

9.10    LENDERS NOT FIDUCIARIES.

        The relationship between (a) Borrower and Operating Subsidiaries and
(b) Administrative Agent, Documentation Agent and Lenders, is solely that of
debtor and creditor, and neither Administrative Agent, Documentation Agent nor
any Lender has or shall have any fiduciary or other special relationship with
Borrower, any Operating Subsidiary or any other Consolidated Subsidiary, and no
term or provision of any of the Loan Papers shall be construed so as to deem
such relationship to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

9.11    NO ORAL AGREEMENTS.

supplied to Administrative Agent, Documentation Agent or any Lender shall not
be copied or distributed to any Person other than Administrative Agent,
Documentation Agent and Lenders without the prior written consent of Borrower.

replace the obligations of Administrative Agent, Documentation Agent and each
Lender under any confidentiality letter or other confidentiality agreement in

satisfactory to Agent and its legal counsel, Jenkens & Gilchrist, a
Professional Corporation.

                 x.               Representations and Warranties.  Borrower

                          that, as of the date of and after giving effect to
                          this Amendment, (a) all representations and
                          warranties set forth in the Agreement are true and
                          correct as if made again on and as of such date
                          (except to the extent that such representations and

                 xi.              Phar-Mor Write-Down.  Reference is made to
                          the definition of "EBITDA" in Section 1.2 of the
                          Agreement and, more specifically, to clause (a) of
                          such definition which reads as follows:  "(a) income
                          (or deficit) before provision for income taxes for
                          such period (excluding (i) extraordinary gains and
                          losses and (ii) to the extent not already deducted,
                          income attributable to minority interests in
                          subsidiaries for such period) . . .".  Borrower and
                          Banks hereby agree that, for purposes of calculating
                          EBITDA for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995, the
                          $28,767,000 charge to income as a result of a
                          write-down of FoxMeyer's pre-bankruptcy Phar-Mor
                          receivable and associated costs to administer the
                          claim shall be deemed an extraordinary loss and shall
                          therefore be excluded for purposes of calculating
                          EBITDA under the Agreement during such period.

                 xii.             GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AMENDMENT AND THE OTHER
                          LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
                          ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND
                          APPLICABLE U.S. FEDERAL LAWS.

                 xiii.            Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed
                          in any number of counterparts, all of which when
                          taken together shall constitute one agreement, and
                          any of the parties hereto may execute this Amendment
                          by signing any such counterpart.

                 xiv.             NO ORAL AGREEMENTS.  THIS AMENDMENT, TOGETHER
                          WITH THE AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AS
                          WRITTEN, REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN AND
                          AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED
                          BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT
                          ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO
                          UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN (A) BORROWER AND
                          (B) AGENT OR ANY BANK.

                 xv.              Agreement Remains in Effect; No Waiver.
                          Except as expressly provided herein, all terms and
                          provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain
                          unchanged and in full force and effect and are hereby
                          ratified and confirmed.  No waiver by Agent or any
                          Bank of any Default or Event of Default shall be
                          deemed to be a waiver of any other Default or Event
                          of Default.  No delay or omission by Agent or any
                          Bank in exercising any power, right or remedy shall
                          impair such power, right or remedy or be construed as
                          a waiver thereof or an acquiescence therein, and no
                          single or partial exercise of any such power, right
                          or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise
                          thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or
                          remedy under the Agreement, the Loan Documents or
                          otherwise.

                 xvi.             Payment of Costs, Fees and Expenses.
                          Borrower shall promptly pay any and all costs, fees
                          and expenses paid or incurred by Agent incident to
                          this Amendment (including, without limitation, the
                          fees and expenses of counsel to Agent).  Concurrently
                          herewith, Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the pro
                          rata benefit of Banks, an amendment fee of $50,000.

$20,000,000 on the Closing Date and, to the extent that Borrower has made one
or more mandatory prepayments under SECTION 3.7(A), in one or more subsequent
Advances so long as:
  
                 (a)      The unpaid principal balance of the Loan may never
         exceed $20,000,000.

                 (b)      The unpaid principal balance of those subsequent
         Advances may not exceed a total of (i) $3,500,000 if the unpaid
         principal balance of the Loan is more than $10,000,000 before those
         Advances are made, or (ii) $2,000,000 if the unpaid principal balance
         of the Loan is $10,000,000 or less before those Advances are made.

                 (c)      Only one Advance may be made in respect of any
         particular prepayment under SECTION 3.7(A), and that Advance may only
         be made on a Business Day that is before the earlier of either (i) 120
         days after the date on which that prepayment was made or (ii) the
         Termination Date.

                 (d)      Immediately after giving effect to each Advance, a
         Collateral-Base Deficiency may not exist.

                 (e)      Borrower has not given notice to Lender irrevocably
         waiving the right to reborrow under this agreement, which Borrower may
         do at any time.

Except as specifically provided for those subsequent Advances, no portion of
the Loan may be reborrowed once paid or prepaid.

         2.2     Procedure.  Borrower may only request an Advance by delivering
to Lender an Advance Request for it that specifies the Advance Date, the one or
more Interest Options for the Advance, and the Interest Periods, if applicable.
Each Advance Request is binding and irrevocable when delivered and must be
received by Lender by no later than 12:00 noon on the earlier of either the
Business Day before the Advance Date or, if LIBOR is applicable to any portion
of the Advance, the third Business Day before the Advance Date.

         2.3     Collateral Base. Borrower shall determine the Collateral Base
in accordance with this agreement and verify it to Lender as of each Advance
Date and otherwise in accordance with SECTION 7.1.  Lender may review and
adjust any determination of the Collateral Base as so verified by Borrower if,
in its good faith based upon information otherwise available to it, Lender
deems that determination not to be in accordance with this agreement.

         2.4     Collateral-Base Deficiency.  If a Collateral-Base Deficiency
ever exists, then, within three Business Days after demand by Lender, Borrower
shall wholly eliminate that Collateral-Base Deficiency by (a) prepaying
principal of the Loan, (b) pledging additional FoxMeyer Stock or
Publicly-Traded Stock, as the case


                                       10
<PAGE>   15
may be, to Lender in accordance with SECTION 4 if that would eliminate the
particular Collateral-Base Deficiency, or (c) any combination of the foregoing.
Lender may become aware of a Collateral-Base Deficiency and elect in its sole
discretion to not make (or to defer making)  demand upon Borrower under this
section.  That election by Lender is not a waiver of any Collateral-Base
Deficiency then or subsequently existing and is revocable in Lender's sole
discretion at any time.


SECTION 3  PAYMENT TERMS.

         3.1     Promissory Note.  The Loan and interest on it shall be
evidenced by a promissory note (the "NOTE") dated the Closing Date, executed by
Borrower, payable to Lender's order, in the stated principal amount of
$20,000,000, and otherwise substantially in the form of EXHIBIT A.
Notwithstanding the stated principal amount of the Note, the amount of
principal actually owing on the Note at any time is the sum of the Loan minus
all payments or prepayments of principal actually received by Lender.  Lender
is authorized but not required to endorse on a schedule attached to the Note
appropriate notations evidencing the date and the amount of each Advance and
each payment or prepayment by Borrower.

         3.2     Interest Rates.

                 (a)      Base-Rate Loans.  The unpaid principal of the
         Base-Rate Loan shall bear interest from the Closing Date until due and
         payable at an annual rate from day to day equal to the lesser of
         either the Base Rate or the Maximum Rate.

                 (b)      Eurodollar Loans.  The unpaid principal of each
         Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for the applicable Interest Period
         at an annual rate equal to the lesser of either LIBOR for the
         applicable Interest Period or the Maximum Rate from day to day.

                 (c)      Past-Due Interest.  Past-due principal and interest
         on the Loan shall bear interest, to the extent lawful, at the Default
         Rate.


         3.3     Interest Rate Options.  Subject to the following provisions,
Borrower has the option of having all or any portion of the Loan bear interest
at LIBOR or the Base Rate (each, an "INTEREST OPTION").  Each Eurodollar Loan
must be at least $500,000 and an integral multiple of $100,000.

                 (a)      Advance Date.  Borrower shall notify Lender of each
         Interest Option applicable to each Advance as of its Advance Date.

                 (b)      At Expiration of Interest Periods.  Before the
         termination of each Interest Period for each Eurodollar Loan, Borrower
         shall give written notice (a "ROLLOVER NOTICE"), in substantially the
         form of EXHIBIT C-2, to Lender of the Interest Option for that portion
         of the Loan upon the expiration of that Interest Period.  That
         Rollover Notice must be given to Lender at least (i) one Business Day,
         in the case of a Base Rate selection, or (ii) three
         Eurodollar-Business Days, in the case of a LIBOR selection, before the
         termination of that Interest Period.  If Borrower specifies LIBOR, the
         Rollover Notice must also specify the length of the succeeding
         Interest Period selected by Borrower.  Each Rollover Notice is
         irrevocable and effective upon notification to Lender.  If the
         required Rollover Notice is not timely received by Lender before the
         expiration of the then relevant Interest Period in effect when such
         notice was required to be given, Borrower is deemed to have selected
         the rate set forth in SECTION 3.2(A) to be applicable to that portion
         of the Loan upon expiration of that Interest Period and to have given
         Lender notice of that selection.





                                       11
<PAGE>   16
                 (c)      Conversion From Base Rate.  With respect to a
         Base-Rate Loan, Borrower may, on any Eurodollar-Business Day (a
         "CONVERSION DATE"), convert that Base-Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan
         by giving Lender a Rollover Notice of that election at least three
         Eurodollar-Business Days before that Conversion Date.


                 (d)      Options Upon Default.  Notwithstanding anything in
         this SECTION 3.3 to the contrary, no Base-Rate Loan may be converted
         to a Eurodollar Loan and no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such
         when a Default or Potential Default exists.  While a Default or
         Potential Default exists, each Eurodollar Loan shall be automatically
         converted to a Base-Rate Loan on the last day of its Interest Period.


         3.4     Calculation of Interest Rates.  Interest on the unpaid
principal balance of each Eurodollar Loan shall be calculated on the basis of
the actual number of days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days.  Interest
on the unpaid principal balance of each Base-Rate Loan shall be calculated on
the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 365 or, if
applicable, 366 days.

         3.5     Interest Payments.  Interest on the Note is due and payable on
each Interest-Payment Date.

         3.6     Principal Payments.  Principal payments of $2,500,000 each are
due and payable on each of September 6, 1996, and September 6, 1997.  The
unpaid principal balance of the Note is due and payable on the Termination
Date.

         3.7     Prepayments.

                 (a)      At any time when any Phar-Mor Stock or any interest
         of Borrower in Hamilton Morgan, as the case may be, is Collateral,
         Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of the unpaid principal of
         the Loan on the same day as the day of each sale of any Phar-Mor
         capital stock pledged to Lender under the Loan Documents or any
         interest of Borrower in Hamilton Morgan, which prepayment shall equal
         the full-gross cash proceeds derived from that sale.  Borrower may
         request certain partial releases of Lender Liens under SECTION 4.2(C)
         upon such payment.

                 (b)      Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of the
         unpaid principal of the Loan as provided in SECTION 2.4.

                 (c)      Borrower may also make voluntary prepayments of all
         or part of the unpaid principal of the Loan at any time and from time
         to time by first giving Lender at least three-Business Days'
         irrevocable and binding notice so long as the notice specifies the
         amount to be prepaid and each partial prepayment must be at least
         $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000.

All partial prepayments shall be applied to the principal installments on the
Note in inverse order of maturity.  All prepayments may be made without premium
or penalty but with all amounts owed under SECTION 3.14(B) as a result of the
prepayment.

         3.8     Manner and Application of Payments.  All payments and
prepayments of principal of, and interest on, the Note to Lender must be made
by Borrower before 2:00 p.m. in federal or other immediately available funds at
Credit Lyonnais New York Branch for the account of Lender.  Any payment or
prepayment received by Lender after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been
received by Lender on the next-succeeding-Business Day.  Unless otherwise
specified in the Loan Documents, all payments and prepayments of the Obligation
shall be applied in the following order:


                                       12
<PAGE>   17
                 (a)      all unpaid costs and fees due under the Loan
         Documents as the date of the payment or prepayment;

                 (b)      accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligation that is
         due and payable as of the date of the payment or prepayment;

                 (c)      Base-Rate Loans;

                 (d)      Eurodollar Loans as either (i) selected by Borrower
         or (ii) if Borrower fails to make that selection or if a Default or
         Potential Default exists, as selected by Lender; and

                 (e)      to the unpaid balance of the Obligation in the order
         and manner selected by Lender.

         3.9     Lending Office.  Lender may (a) designate its principal office
or a foreign branch, subsidiary, or Affiliate of Lender as its lending office
(and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any
Eurodollar Loan, (b) designate its principal office or a domestic branch,
subsidiary, or Affiliate as its lending office (and the office to whose account
payments are to be credited) for any Base-Rate Loan, and (c) change its lending
offices.  Lender shall continue to hold the Note evidencing the Loan for the
benefit and account of each such foreign branch, subsidiary, or Affiliate.
Lender may fund all or any of the Loan in any manner that it deems appropriate,
but, for the purposes of this agreement, Lender is, regardless of Lender's
actual means of funding, deemed to have funded that portion of the Loan in
accordance with the Interest Option from time to time selected in accordance
with this agreement.

         3.10    Taxes.

                 (a)      All payments and prepayments must be made free and
         clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future

         liabilities, excluding taxes imposed upon its income, and franchise
         taxes imposed upon Lender, by the jurisdiction under the Laws of which
         Lender is organized or is or should be qualified to do business or any
         political subdivision and taxes imposed upon its income, and franchise
         taxes imposed upon it by the jurisdiction of Lender's lending office
         or any political subdivision thereof ("TAXES").  If Borrower is
         required by Law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum
         payable under the Loan Documents, then (i) the sum payable shall be
         increased as may be necessary so that after making all required
         deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
         under this SECTION 3.10) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it
         would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower
         shall make such deductions, and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full
         amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in
         accordance with applicable Law.

                 (b)      Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp or
         documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges, or
         similar levies that arise from any payment made under the Loan
         Documents or from the execution, delivery, or registration of, or
         otherwise with respect to, the Loan Documents ("OTHER TAXES").

                 (c)      BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY LENDER FOR THE FULL AMOUNT
         OF TAXES AND OTHER TAXES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY TAXES AND
         OTHER TAXES IMPOSED BY ANY JURISDICTION ON AMOUNTS PAYABLE UNDER THIS
         SECTION 3.10) PAID BY LENDER OR ANY LIABILITY (INCLUDING PENALTIES AND
         INTEREST, UNLESS SUCH PENALTIES OR SUCH INTEREST WERE CAUSED BY
         LENDER'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILFUL MISCONDUCT) ARISING FROM OR WITH
         RESPECT TO THAT PAYMENT, WHETHER OR NOT THOSE TAXES OR OTHER TAXES
         WERE CORRECTLY OR LEGALLY ASSERTED.  THIS INDEMNIFICATION SHALL BE
         MADE WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE LENDER MAKES WRITTEN DEMAND TO
         BORROWER.

<PAGE>   18
                 (d)      Within 30 days after the date of the payment of Taxes
         or Other Taxes, Borrower shall furnish to Lender the original or a
         certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment.

                 (e)      Lender shall use good faith efforts to carry out its
         obligations under this agreement in such a way as to reduce the amount
         of Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to the Loan and other payments,
         including the use of a different lending office, as long as such
         actions would not adversely affect Lender, as determined by the Lender
         in Lender's sole discretion.

                 (f)      Lender shall endeavor as far as is reasonably
         practical, but without binding commitment, to ensure that, if any
         additional amount paid by Borrower under SECTION 3.10(A), (B), or (C),
         in Lender's sole opinion (which shall not be open to question) is
         recovered in whole or in part by Lender (whether through credit,
         offset, deduction, or otherwise), then Lender shall reimburse Borrower
         to the extent of the amount so recovered.

                 (g)      As of the date of this agreement, Lender is entitled
         to receive any payment or prepayment made without the withholding of
         any Tax and agrees to provide to Borrower, within 30 days of the date
         of this agreement, a copy of the appropriate Internal Revenue Service
         form certifying its exemption from that Tax.  Upon request, Lender
         shall furnish such other certificates, statements, or other documents
         as reasonably necessary to evidence its exemption from Tax, if
         available.

                 (h)      If any payment is due by Borrower to Lender under
         SECTION 3.10(C) and if (within 30 days after Lender demands that
         payment) Borrower requests that Lender contest the assessment of the
         applicable Tax or Other Tax, then Lender shall take reasonably
         necessary action to contest that assessment.  If any Law requires the
         payment of Taxes or Other Taxes before contesting the validity,
         correctness, or legality of them or if any Taxes or Other Taxes have
         been paid before Lender's receipt of notice from Borrower of its
         desire to contest the applicable assessment, then Borrower shall make
         the required reimbursement payment to Lender within the time specified
         in SECTION 3.10(C).  If payment of the assessment is not a condition
         precedent to contesting the applicable Taxes or Other Taxes, then any
         amount payable to Lender under SECTION 3.10(C) shall be made by at
         least either (i) the date specified in the final determination
         rendered by the appropriate Governmental Authority or (ii) if the
         decision is appealed, the date specified in the final decision of the
         appellate court.  Lender may request that Borrower advance to Lender
         the anticipated costs of any contest (including, with out limitation,
         reasonable attorneys' fees) as a condition precedent to Lender being
         obligated to carry out its duties to contest under this SECTION
         3.10(I).

                 (i)      As promptly as practicable after Lender becomes aware
         of any circumstance or event that will cause additional amounts to
         become owing by Borrower under this SECTION 3.10, then Lender shall
         notify Borrower of the nature of that circumstance or event.  Lender's
         failure, however, to give that or any other notice to Borrower does
         not impair Lender's right to receive, or Borrower's obligations to
         pay, any additional amounts under this SECTION 3.10 so long as the
         demand for payment of any additional amount under this SECTION 3.10 is
         made within one year after Lender becomes aware that the additional
         amount is owing by Borrower.

                 (j)      Without prejudice to the survival of any other
         agreement of Borrower, the agreements and obligations of Borrower
         contained in this SECTION 3.10 shall, subject to CLAUSE (I) above,
         survive the payment in full of the Obligation, release of all Lender
         Liens, and termination or expiration of all Loan Documents.

         3.11    Inadequacy of LIBOR. If (and on each occasion that) on the
second-Business Day before the commencement of any Interest Period for a
Eurodollar Loan Lender determines that dollar deposits in the amount of the
applicable Eurodollar Loan are not generally available in the London interbank
eurodollar market, or that





                                       14
<PAGE>   19
reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, or that the rate at which
dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the
cost to Lender of making or maintaining that Eurodollar Loan for that Interest
Period, then (a) Lender may so notify Borrower and (b) until Lender notifies
Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to the first notice no longer
exist, any Advance Request is deemed to be for a Base-Rate Loan and each
Eurodollar Loan must convert to a Base-Rate Loan at the end of its Interest
Period.  Each foregoing determination by Lender is conclusive, absent manifest
error.

         3.12    Reserve Requirements and Change in Circumstances.

                 (a)       Notwithstanding any other provision, if after the
         Closing Date, the introduction of any new Law or any change in
         existing Law (whether or not having the force of Law) imposes,
         modifies, or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit, or similar
         requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
         credit or credit commitments extended by, Lender, or imposes on the
         Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting
         this agreement or the Loan that is, in each case not otherwise
         included in the calculation of LIBOR, and the result is to increase
         the cost to Lender of making or maintaining the Loan or to reduce any
         amount received or receivable by Lender or under any Loan Document
         (whether of principal, interest, or otherwise) by a material amount,
         then Borrower shall pay to Lender the additional costs incurred or
         reduction suffered.  Borrower shall make that payment to Lender within
         30 days after Lender gives to Borrower a certificate stating the
         change that has occurred or the reserve requirements or other
         conditions which have been imposed, the amount of the additional costs
         or reduction and the way in which that amount has been calculated.
         Lender must have used good-faith and reasonable efforts to specify a
         new lending office with a view to mitigating the consequences of any
         occurrence under this section that would not result in any additional
         costs, expenses, or risks to Lender that are not reimbursed by
         Borrower or be in any other respect prejudicial to Lender.  A
         certificate delivered by Lender to Borrower under this section is
         conclusive, absent manifest error.

                 (b)      If after the Closing Date, Lender determines that the
         applicability of any Law or guideline adopted pursuant to or arising
         out of the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking
         Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled "International
         Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards", or the
         adoption after the Closing Date of any other Law or guideline
         regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any of the foregoing or
         any change in the interpretation or administration of any of the
         foregoing by any Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable
         agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
         compliance by Lender or Lender's holding company with any request or
         directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force
         of Law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank, or
         comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
         of return on Lender's capital or on the capital of Lender's holding
         company as a consequence of the Loan Documents or the Loan to a level
         below that which Lender or Lender's holding company could have
         achieved but for that adoption, change, or compliance (taking into
         consideration Lender's policies and the policies of Lender's holding
         company with respect to capital adequacy) by a material amount, then,
         from time to time, Borrower shall pay to Lender the additional amount
         or amounts as will compensate Lender or Lender's holding company for
         that reduction.  That payment by Borrower to Lender shall be made
         within 30 days after the date on which Lender gives to Borrower a
         certificate setting forth those amount or amounts, together with a
         description of the manner in which they were calculated.  A
         certificate delivered by Lender to Borrower under this section is
         conclusive, absent manifest error.

                 (c)      Lender's failure to demand compensation for any
         increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or
         reduction in return on capital with respect to any Interest Period is
         not a waiver of Lender's rights to demand compensation for any
         increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or
         reduction in return on capital in that Interest Period or in any other
         Interest





                                       15
<PAGE>   20
         Period.  The protection of this SECTION 3.12 is available to Lender
         regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or
         inapplicability of the Law or guideline or other change or condition
         that occurred or is imposed and survives for the repayment of the
         Obligation, release of Lender Liens, and termination or expiration of
         the Loan Documents.

                 (d)      Lender's cost of making or maintaining the Loan may
         fluctuate as a result of the applicability of reserve requirements
         imposed by the Board of Govenors of the Federal Reserve System at the
         ratios provided for in Regulation D on the date of this agreement.
         Borrower shall pay to Lender from time to time such amounts as shall
         be necessary to compensate Lender for the portion of the cost of
         making or maintaining the Loan resulting from any such reserve
         requirements provided for in Regulation D as in effect now or in the
         future, it being understood that the rates of interest applicable to
         the Loan have been determined on the assumption that no such reserve
         requirements exist or will exist and that such rates do not reflect
         costs imposed on Lender in connection with such reserve requirements.

                 (e)      As promptly as practicable after Lender becomes aware
         of any circumstance or event that will cause additional amounts to
         become owing by Borrower under this SECTION 3.12, then Lender shall
         notify Borrower of the nature of that circumstance or event.  Lender's
         failure, however, to give that or any other notice to Borrower does
         not impair Lender's Right to receive, or Borrower's obligations to
         pay, any additional amounts under this SECTION 3.12 so long as the
         demand for payment of any additional amount under this SECTION 3.12 is
         made within one year after Lender becomes aware that the additional
         amount is owing by Borrower.

                 (f)      Without prejudice to the survival of any other
         agreement of Borrower, the agreements and obligations of Borrower
         contained in this SECTION 3.12 shall, subject to CLAUSE (E) above,
         survive the payment in full of the Obligation, release of all Lender
         Liens, and termination or expiration of all Loan Documents.

         3.13    Change In Legality.

                 (a)      Notwithstanding any contrary provision, if any change
         in any Law or any new Law makes it unlawful for Lender to make or
         maintain any Eurodollar Loan at LIBOR or to give effect to its
         obligations with respect to any Eurodollar Loan at LIBOR, then, by
         written notice to Borrower, Lender may (i) declare that LIBOR is no
         longer available and (ii) require that the entire Loan be priced at
         the Base Rate, in which event the Loan shall be automatically
         converted to a Base-Rate Loan as of the effective date of that notice
         as provided in CLAUSE (B) below and all payments and prepayments of
         principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay any
         converted Eurodollar Loan shall instead be applied to repay the
         Base-Rate Loan resulting from that conversion.

                 (b)      For purposes of CLAUSE (A) above, a notice to
         Borrower by Lender is in respect of each Eurodollar Loan on the
         earliest of either (i) the last day of its Interest Period, (ii) the
         date of Borrower's receipt of the notice, or (iii) the date required
         by Law.

                 (c)      Lender shall use good-faith and reasonable efforts to
         specify a new lending office for the Loan, with a view to effecting
         compliance with the Law referred to in CLAUSE (A) above that would not
         result in any additional costs, expenses, or risks to Lender that are
         not reimbursed by Borrower or be in any other respect prejudicial to
         Lender.

         3.14    INDEMNITY.  BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY LENDER AGAINST ANY
REASONABLE LOSS OR EXPENSE WHICH LENDER MAY SUSTAIN OR INCUR AS A CONSEQUENCE
OF (a) ANY FAILURE BY BORROWER TO FULFILL ON THE DATE OF ANY ADVANCE THE
APPLICABLE CONDITIONS IN SECTION 5, (b) ANY PAYMENT OR PREPAYMENT OF THE LOAN
REQUIRED BY ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE





                                       16
<PAGE>   21
MADE ON A DATE OTHER THAN AN INTEREST-PAYMENT DATE, (c) ANY DEFAULT IN PAYMENT
OR PREPAYMENT OF ALL OR ANY PART OF THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OR INTEREST ACCRUED ON
THE LOAN, AS AND WHEN DUE AND PAYABLE, OR (d) THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY DEFAULT OR
POTENTIAL DEFAULT, IN EACH CASE INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY LOSS OR
REASONABLE EXPENSE SUSTAINED OR INCURRED OR TO BE SUSTAINED OR INCURRED IN
LIQUIDATING OR REDEPLOYING DEPOSITS FROM THIRD PARTIES ACQUIRED TO EFFECT OR
MAINTAIN THE LOAN.  SUCH LOSS OR REASONABLE EXPENSE SHALL INCLUDE, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE EXCESS, IF ANY, AS REASONABLY DETERMINED BY
LENDER OF (i) ITS COST OF OBTAINING THE FUNDS FOR THE LOAN BEING PAID, PREPAID,
OR NOT BORROWED (BASED ON THE APPLICABLE LIBOR) FOR THE PERIOD FROM THE DATE OF
SUCH PAYMENT, PREPAYMENT, OR FAILURE TO BORROW OR REFINANCE TO THE LAST DAY OF
THE INTEREST PERIOD FOR APPLICABLE EURODOLLAR LOAN (OR, IN THE CASE OF A
FAILURE TO BORROW OR REFINANCE, THE INTEREST PERIOD FOR THE LOAN WHICH WOULD
HAVE COMMENCED ON THE DATE OF SUCH FAILURE) OVER (ii) THE AMOUNT OF INTEREST
THAT WOULD BE REALIZED BY LENDER IN REDEPLOYING THE FUNDS SO PAID, PREPAID, OR
NOT BORROWED OR REFINANCED FOR SUCH PERIOD OR INTEREST PERIOD, AS THE CASE MAY
BE.  LENDER'S  CERTIFICATE SETTING FORTH ANY AMOUNT OR AMOUNTS THAT LENDER IS
ENTITLED TO RECEIVE UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL BE DELIVERED TO BORROWER AND IS
CONCLUSIVE,  ABSENT MANIFEST ERROR.

         3.15    Fees.  Borrower shall pay the following fees to Lender that,
in each case, are not compensation for the use, detention, or forbearance of
money, are in addition to, and not in lieu of, interest and expenses otherwise
described in this agreement, are non-refundable, bear interest (to the fullest
extent permitted by Law and if not paid when due) at the Default Rate, and are
calculated on the bases of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be:

                 (a)      Arrangement Fee.  An arrangement fee as provided in
         the separate letter agreement between Borrower and Lender required to
         be delivered by SCHEDULE 5.

                 (b)      Commitment Fee.  A commitment fee equal to 0.50% of
         amounts available to be re-borrowed under SECTION 2.1 payable
         quarterly as it accrues on the last day of each March, June,
         September, and December and on the Termination Date.

         3.16    Maximum-Interest Rate.  Regardless of any provision in any
Loan Document, Lender is never entitled to receive, collect, or apply as
interest on the Obligation any amount in excess of interest calculated at the
Maximum Rate.  If Lender ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any
such excess, then (a) the amount which would be excessive interest is deemed to
be a partial prepayment of principal and treated as such, and (b) if the
principal of the Obligation is fully paid, any remaining excess shall be paid
to Borrower.

SECTION 4  SECURITY.

         4.1     Collateral.  Borrower shall cause the full payment and
performance of the Obligation to be secured by Lender Liens on all of the
following items and types of property (together with all cash and noncash
proceeds and other related items and types of property described in the
Security Agreements, the "COLLATERAL"):

                 (a)      FoxMeyer Stock that (i) has a Collateral Value of at
         least $80,000,000 and is pledged to Lender as of the Closing Date and
         (ii) is subsequently pledged to Lender under SECTION 2.4, if any.

                 (b)      Shares of Phar-Mor common stock purchased by Hamilton
         Morgan with a stated value (in accordance with the Plan of
         Reorganization) on the Closing Date of at least $20,940,000.





                                       17
<PAGE>   22
                 (c)      Publicly-Traded Stock -- in addition to the Phar-Mor
         stock pledged under CLAUSE (B) above -- that (i) has a Collateral
         Value of at least $10,000,000 and is pledged to Lender as of the
         Closing Date and (ii) is subsequently pledged to Lender under SECTION
         2.4, if any.

                 (d)      All right, title, and interest of Borrower in 
         Hamilton Morgan.

Each pledge of securities under the Loan Documents must be in compliance with
Regulation U, must be upon forms substantially in the form of the appropriate
Security Agreement, and all applicable provisions of the Loan Documents,
including, without limitation,  SECTIONS 7.10 and 7.12.

         4.2     Partial Release.  At Borrower's expense, Lender shall release
its Lender Liens (and return any certificated securities the subject of any
such release to the pledgor of them) on the following Collateral under the
following circumstances if no Default, Potential Default, or Material-Adverse
Effect exists or would occur upon the release and if the release would not
cause a violation with Regulation U:

                 (a)      Borrower may pledge additional Publicly-Traded Stock
         in substitution for, and request and obtain the release of the Lender
         Liens on, other Publicly-Traded Stock so long as -- immediately
         following any such substitution and release -- the Collateral Base
         applicable to Publicly-Traded Stock is not less than either (i) the
         Collateral Base immediately before such substitution and release if
         before March 31, 1996, or (ii) 150% of the unpaid principal balance of
         the Loan on or after March 31, 1996.

                 (b)      From time to time upon Borrower's request after March
         31, 1996, at Borrower's expense, and to the extent that the Collateral
         Base applicable to Publicly-Traded Stock exceeds 150% of the unpaid
         principal balance of the Loan (i.e., an "EXCESS), then Lender shall
         release its Lender Liens on Publicly-Traded Stock to the extent of
         that excess without impairing its Lender Liens on all other
         Publicly-Traded Stock.

                 (c)      Upon a prepayment under SECTION 3.7(A), if a
         Collateral-Base Deficiency will not exist immediately after the
         release, Lender shall release its Lender Liens on the Phar-Mor Stock
         or Borrower's interest in Hamilton Morgan, as the case may be, the
         subject of that sale.

                 (d)      Upon the release, sale, credit bid at foreclosure, or
         other disposition of all of the Phar-Mor Stock that is Collateral,
         Lender shall release its Lender Liens on Borrower's interest in
         Hamilton Morgan.

                 (e)      Upon the sale by Borrower of all of its interest in
         Hamilton Morgan and a release of the Lender Liens in Borrower's
         interest in Hamilton Morgan, Lender shall release its Lender Liens in
         all of the Phar-Mor Stock that is then Collateral.

These are partial releases only in that they do not affect the Lender Liens on
any Collateral not specifically released.

SECTION 5  CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.   Lender is not obligated to fund any Advance
unless Lender has received all of the items described on SCHEDULE 5 on or
before the Closing Date or such other deadline as may be specified on SCHEDULE
5.  In addition, Lender is not obligated to fund (as opposed to continue or
convert) any initial or subsequent Advance unless on the applicable Advance
Date and after giving effect to the requested Advance:  (a) Lender timely
receives an Advance Request; (b) all of the representations and warranties in
the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (unless they
speak to a specific date or are based on facts which have changed by
transactions contemplated or expressly permitted by this agreement); (c) no
Material-Adverse Effect, Default, or Potential Default exists; (d) none of the
matters disclosed in any amendments to SCHEDULE 6.11 or similar matters
described in any SEC Report delivered to Lender after the Closing Date are


                                       18
<PAGE>   23
objected to by Lender in its sole discretion; (e) no Collateral-Base Deficiency
exists; (f) no limitation in SECTION 2.1 is exceeded; and (g) the Advance would
not result in the violation of Regulation U.  Each Advance Request constitutes
Borrower's representation and warranty that the conditions in CLAUSES (B)
through (F) above are satisfied.  Upon Lender's reasonable request, Borrower
shall deliver to Lender evidence substantiating any of the matters in the Loan
Documents that are necessary to enable Borrower to qualify for any Advance.
Each condition precedent in this agreement (including, without limitation, each
on SCHEDULE 5) is material to the transactions contemplated by this agreement,
and time is of the essence with respect to each condition precedent.

SECTION 6  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  To induce Lender to make the Loan,
Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that:

         6.1     Organization.  Borrower is a corporation, duly organized and
existing in good standing under Delaware Laws, is duly qualified and is in good
standing in all other states in which it is doing business, and has the
corporate power and authority to own its properties and assets and to transact
the business in which it is engaged and is or will be qualified in those states
where it proposes to transact business in the future.  SCHEDULE 6.1 describes
each of Borrower's Subsidiaries by name, domicile, and ownership.

         6.2     Authorization and Power.  Borrower has the corporate power and
requisite authority to execute, deliver, and perform the Loan Documents to be
executed by it.  Borrower has taken all corporate action necessary to authorize
the execution, delivery, and performance of the Loan Documents by it.
Borrower is and will continue to be duly authorized to perform and execute the
Loan Documents.

         6.3     No Conflicts or Consents.  Neither the execution and delivery
of, nor the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated in, nor
compliance with the terms and provisions of, the Loan Documents will contravene
or materially conflict with Borrower's corporate charter or bylaws or any
provision of Law to which Borrower is subject, or any judgment, license, order,
or permit applicable to Borrower, or any indenture, loan agreement, mortgage,
deed of trust, or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or
by which Borrower may be bound or subject. No consent, approval, authorization,
or order of any Governmental Authority or third party is required in connection
with the execution and delivery by Borrower of, or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by, the Loan Documents.

         6.4     Enforceable Obligations.  The Loan Documents to which Borrower
is intended to be a party have been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and
are the legal and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable in accordance
with their respective terms, except as limited by Debtor Laws and general
principles of equity.

         6.5     Liens.  All of the properties and assets of Borrower are free
and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens.

         6.6     Indebtedness.  Borrower has no Indebtedness except Permitted
           Indebtedness.

         6.7     Financial Condition.  Borrower has delivered to Lender copies
of Borrower's Current Financials that (a) are true and correct in all material
respects, (b) fairly represent the consolidated and, where appropriate,
consolidating financial condition and results of operations of the Companies as
of the dates of the Current Financials and for the periods covered by them, and
(c) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent
with that of prior periods.  There are no obligations, liabilities, or
Indebtedness (including contingent and indirect liabilities and obligations) of
Borrower which are (separately or in the aggregate) material which are required
by GAAP to be reflected in financial statements and which are not so reflected
in the Current Financials.  No changes having a Material-Adverse Effect have
occurred since the date of the Current Financials.  On the date of this
agreement and on each Advance Date, Borrower is, after giving effect to the

required to be deducted and withheld with respect to such wages is also made.

         8.8     Certain Amendments. Borrower may not amend, modify, terminate,
or forfeit (or suffer to exist any amendment, modification, termination, or
forfeiture of) any of the following in any material respect:  (a) Its corporate
charter or bylaws; (b) the Tax-Sharing Agreement except amendments or
modifications necessary to comply with changes of applicable tax Laws; (c) the
Plan of Reorganization; (d)  the Hamilton Morgan/FoxMeyer Registration
Agreement; or (e) the LLC Agreement except -- in the case of CLAUSES (A)
through (E) above -- any change that is not reasonably likely to adversely
affect in any respect Lender's rights or any Lender Liens in respect of the
Phar-Mor Stock or Borrower's interests in Hamilton Morgan constituting
Collateral or any other changes consented to by Lender (which consent may not
be unreasonably withheld).   Borrower may not permit the borrowing limitations
of Paragraph 6(f)(i) of the LLC Agreement to be increased.

         8.9     Employee Plans.  Except where not a Material-Adverse Effect,
Borrower may not permit any of the events or circumstances described in SECTION
6.14 to exist or occur.

         8.10    Government Regulations.  Borrower may not conduct its business
in a way that it becomes regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, or the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.

         8.11    Name, Fiscal Year, and Accounting Method.  Borrower may not
change its name, fiscal year or method of accounting except as required by
GAAP.

         8.12    Assignment.  Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its
rights, duties, or obligations under any Loan Document.

         8.13    Strict Compliance.  Borrower may not indirectly do anything
that it may not directly do under any covenant in any Loan Document.

<PAGE>   31
         8.14    Transactions with Affiliates.  Borrower may not enter into any
material transaction with any of its Affiliates except (a) transactions
otherwise specifically contemplated or permitted by the Loan Documents and (b)
transactions in the ordinary course of business and upon fair and reasonable
terms not materially less favorable than it could obtain or could become
entitled to in an arm's-length transaction with a Person that was not its
Affiliate.

SECTION 9  FINANCIAL COVENANTS.  For so long as Lender is committed to lend
under this agreement and until the Obligation has been fully paid and
performed, Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that, without first
obtaining Lender's written consent to the contrary, it may not directly or
indirectly permit:

         9.1     Net Worth. The Companies' consolidated Net Worth (measured at
the end of each fiscal quarter beginning with the fiscal quarter-ended
September 30, 1995) to be less than the sum of (a) $250,000,000 for the fiscal
quarter-ended June 30, 1995, and subsequently the Minimum Net Worth as
depicted on the most-recent-prior-Quarterly Compliance Certificate, minus (b)
any noncash charges occurring after the date of this agreement attributable to
adjustments in the employee pension benefit plan sponsored and maintained by
National Steel Corporation that provides pension benefits for retired employees
and certain active employees of that corporation transferred to its Weirton
Steel division in connection with the sale of that division, plus (c) 50% of
the sum of (A) the Companies' consolidated positive Net Income minus (B)
Distributions paid on preferred stock from and after the date of this
agreement, plus (d) 100% of the net (i.e., gross less usual and customary
underwriting, placement, and other related costs and expenses) proceeds of the
issuance of any equity securities by Borrower after the date of this agreement.
No calculation in accordance with CLAUSE (C) above as of any quarter end may
result in a lower minimum-Net-Worth requirement under this section than existed
for any prior quarter end.

         9.2     Capitalization.  The market value of Borrower's capital stock
to ever be less than $325,000,000.  For purposes of this section, "market
value" means, for any day,  either (i) the closing sales price on the
immediately-preceding-Business Day as reported in any regularly-published and
widely-circulated reporting or quotation service or (ii) if not so reported,
the value agreed upon by Borrower and Lender after good-faith negotiations, or
(iii) if Borrower and Lender cannot so agree within a reasonable time, the
value determined in good faith by Lender.  The value determined under CLAUSES
(II) and (III) above shall take into consideration marketability, transfer
restrictions, and all other relevant factors.

SECTION 10  EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

         10.1    Default.  As used in this agreement, the term "DEFAULT" means
the occurrence or existence of any one or more of the following:

                 (a)      Borrower fails or refuses to pay when due any
         interest on the Note or any fee, expense, or other payment required by
         the Loan Documents, and that failure or refusal continues for three
         Business Days after the due date.

                 (b)      Borrower fails or refuses to pay when due any
         principal of the Loan.

                 (c)      Any representation or warranty made in any Loan
         Document or any certificate or statement furnished or made to Lender
         or in connection with the Loan Document proves to be untrue or
         inaccurate in any material respect at the time made.

                 (d)      Borrower fails or refuses to perform, observe, or
         comply with SECTIONS 8 or 9.


                                       27
<PAGE>   32
                 (e)      Borrower fails or refuses to perform, observe, or
         comply with any other agreement, covenant, or provision --  other than
         those described in CLAUSES (A) though (D) above -- binding on it in
         any Loan Document, and that failure or refusal continues for ten days
         after the earlier of either (i) notice of it from Lender to Borrower
         or (ii) Lender is or should have been notified of it by Borrower under
         SECTION 7.2.

                 (f)      A Default occurs under the Security Agreement
         executed and delivered by Hamilton Morgan.

                 (g)      Default occurs in the payment of any material
         Indebtedness of Borrower (other than the Obligation) or default shall
         occur in respect of any note, indenture, loan agreement or credit
         agreement relating to any such Indebtedness and such default shall
         continue for more than the specified period of grace, if any; or, any
         such Indebtedness shall become due before its stated maturity by
         acceleration of the maturity or shall become due by its terms and
         shall not be promptly paid or extended.

                 (h)      Any final judgment(s) for the payment of money in
         excess of $10,000,000 shall be rendered against Borrower and such
         judgment or judgments is not satisfied or discharged at least ten days
         before the date on which any of its assets could be lawfully sold to
         satisfy such judgment.

                 (i)      The occurrence of an "Event of Default" under the
         Banque Paribas Facility or the FoxMeyer Corporation Facility.

                 (j)      Any of the Loan Documents shall cease to be legal,
         valid and binding agreements enforceable against the Person executing
         the same in accordance with the respective terms or shall in any way
         be terminated or become or be declared ineffective or inoperative or
         shall in any way whatsoever cease to give or provide the respective
         liens, security interests, rights, titles, interests, remedies, powers
         or privileges intended to be created thereby.

                 (k)      Borrower (i) applies for or consents to the
         appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, intervenor or
         liquidator of itself or of all or a substantial part of such Person's
         assets, (ii) files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, admits in
         writing that such Person is unable to pay its debts as they become due
         or generally does not pay its debts as they become due, (iii) makes a
         general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iv) files a petition
         or answer seeking reorganization of an arrangement with creditors or
         to take advantage of any bankruptcy or insolvency laws, (v) files an
         answer admitting the material allegations of, or consents to, or
         defaults in answering, a petition filed against it in any bankruptcy,
         reorganization or insolvency proceeding, or (vi) takes corporate
         action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing.

                 (l)      An involuntary petition or complaint is filed against
         Borrower seeking bankruptcy or reorganization of such Person or the
         appointment of a receiver, custodian, trustee, intervenor or
         liquidator of such Person, or all or substantially all of such
         Person's assets, and such petition or complaint shall not have been
         dismissed within 60 days of the filing thereof; or an order, order for
         relief, judgment or decree is entered by any court of competent
         jurisdiction or other competent authority approving a petition or
         complaint seeking reorganization of such Person or appointing a
         receiver, custodian, trustee, intervenor or liquidator of such Person,
         or of all or substantially all of such Person's assets.

                 (m)      Any change occurs in the condition (financial or
         otherwise) of Borrower which, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, has
         a Material-Adverse Effect.

<PAGE>   33
         10.2    Remedies Upon Default or Potential Default.  If a Default or
Potential Default occurs and is continuing, then Lender may exercise any one or
more of the following rights and remedies, and any other remedies provided in
any of the Loan Documents, as Lender, in its sole discretion, deems necessary
or appropriate: (a) Declare the principal of, and all interest then accrued on,
the Note and any other liabilities hereunder to be forthwith due and payable,
whereupon the same shall forthwith become due and payable without presentment,
demand, protest, notice of default, notice of acceleration or of intention to
accelerate or other notice of any kind, all of which Borrower hereby expressly
waives, anything contained herein or in the Note to the contrary
notwithstanding; (b) reduce any claim to judgment; or (c) without notice of
default or demand, pursue and enforce any of Lender's rights and remedies under
the Loan Documents, or otherwise provided under or pursuant to any applicable
Law or agreement; provided, however, that if any Default or Potential Default
specified in SECTIONS 10.1(J) and (K) shall occur, the principal of, and all
interest on, the Note and other liabilities shall become immediately due and
payable concurrently with such Default, without any further action by Lender
and without presentment, demand, protest, notice of default, notice of
acceleration or of intention to accelerate or other notice of any kind, all of
which Borrower expressly waives.

         10.3    Performance by Lender.  Should Borrower fail to perform any
covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents after
written demand is made by Lender, Lender may perform or attempt to perform such
covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of Borrower.  In any such event, Borrower
shall, at the request of Lender, promptly pay any amount expended by Lender in
such performance or attempted performance to Lender at Credit Lyonnais New York
Branch for the account of Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default
Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, it is expressly understood that Lender does not assume any liability
or responsibility for the performance of any duties of Borrower under the Loan
Documents or under any of the Loan Documents or other control over the
management and affairs of Borrower.

         10.4    Borrower's Waivers.  To the extent permitted by Law, Borrower
waives presentment and demand for payment, protest, notice of intention to
accelerate, notice of acceleration, and notice of protest and nonpayment, and
agrees that its liability with respect to all or any part of the Obligation is
not affected by any renewal or extension in the time of payment of all or any
part of the Obligation, by any indulgence, or by any release or change in any
security for the payment of all or any part of the Obligation.

         10.5    Not in Control.  Nothing in any Loan Documents gives or may be
deemed to give to Lender the right to exercise control over any Company's
assets, affairs, or management or to preclude or interfere with any Company's
compliance with any Law or require any act or omission by any Company that may
be harmful to Persons or property.  Any "Material-Adverse Effect" or other
materiality or substantiality qualifier of any representation, warranty,
covenant, agreement, or other provision of any Loan Document is included for
credit documentation purposes only and does not imply or be deemed to mean that
Lender acquiesces in any non-compliance by any Company with any Law, document,
or otherwise or does not expect the Companies to promptly, diligently, and
continuously carry out all appropriate removal, remediation, compliance,
closure, or other activities required or appropriate in accordance with all
Environmental Laws.  Lender's power is limited to the rights provided in the
Loan Documents.  All of those rights exist solely -- and may be exercised in
manner calculated by Lender in its good faith business judgment -- to preserve
and protect the Collateral and to assure payment and performance of the
Obligation.

         10.6    Course of Dealing.  The acceptance by Lender of any partial
payment on the Obligation is not a waiver of any Default then existing.  No
waiver by Lender of any Default is a waiver of any other then-existing or
subsequent Default.  No delay or omission by Lender in exercising any right
under the Loan Documents impairs that right or is a waiver thereof or any
acquiescence therein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right
preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right
under the Loan Documents or otherwise.

<PAGE>   34
         10.7    Cumulative Rights.  All rights available to Lender under the
Loan Documents are cumulative of and in addition to all other rights granted to
Lender at law or in equity, whether or not the Obligation are due and payable
and whether or not Lender has instituted any suit for collection, foreclosure,
or other action in connection with the Loan Documents.

         10.8    Certain Proceedings.  Borrower shall promptly execute and
deliver, or cause the execution and delivery of, all applications,
certificates, instruments, registration statements, and all other documents and
papers Lender reasonably request in connection with the obtaining of any
consent, approval, registration (other than securities Law registrations),
qualification, permit, license, or authorization of any Governmental Authority
or other Person necessary or appropriate for the effective exercise of any
rights under the Loan Documents.  Because Borrower agrees that Lender's
remedies at Law for failure of Borrower to comply with the provisions of this
section would be inadequate and that failure would not be adequately
compensable in damages, Borrower agrees that the covenants of this section may
be specifically enforced.

         10.9    Diminution in Value of Collateral.  Lender has no liability or
responsibility whatsoever for any diminution in or loss of value of any
collateral now or in the future securing payment or performance of any of the
Obligation (other than diminution in or loss of value caused by its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct).

SECTION 11  MISCELLANEOUS.

         11.1    Non-Business Days.  Unless otherwise specifically provided,
any payment or action that is due under any Loan Document on a day that is not
a Business Day or a Eurodollar Business Day, as is applicable, may be delayed
until the next-succeeding Business Day or Eurodollar Business Day, as the case
may be, but interest continues to accrue on any applicable payment until
payment is in fact made.

         11.2    Communications.  Unless otherwise specifically provided,
whenever any Loan Document requires or permits any consent, approval, notice,
request, or demand from one party to another, that communication must be in
writing (which may be by telex or telecopy) to be effective and is deemed to
have been given (a) if by telex, when transmitted to the appropriate telex
number and the appropriate answer back is received, (b) if by telecopy, when
transmitted to the appropriate telecopy number (but, without affecting the date
when the telecopy is so deemed delivered, it must be confirmed by telephone
promptly after being sent), (c) if by mail, on the third Business Day after it
is enclosed in an envelope and properly addressed, stamped, sealed, and
deposited in the appropriate official postal service, or (d) if by any other
means, when actually delivered.  Until changed by notice under this agreement,
the address, telex number, telephone number, and telecopy number for each of
Borrower and Agent are stated beside their respective signatures to this
agreement.

         11.3    Form and Number of Documents.  The form, substance, and number
of counterparts of each writing to be furnished under this agreement must be
satisfactory to Lender and its counsel.

         11.4    Exceptions to Covenants.  Borrower may not take or fail to
take any action that is permitted as an exception to any of the covenants
contained in any Loan Document if that action or omission would result in the
breach of any other covenant contained in any Loan Document.

         11.5    Survival.  All covenants, agreements, undertakings,
representations, and warranties made in any of the Loan Documents survive all
closings under the Loan Documents and, except as otherwise specified, are not
affected by any investigation made by any party.

         11.6    Governing Law.  Unless otherwise stated in any Loan Document,
the Laws of the State of New York and of the United States of America govern
the rights and duties of the parties to the Loan Documents and the validity,
construction, enforcement, and interpretation of the Loan Documents.





                                       30
<PAGE>   35
         11.7    Invalid Provisions.  Any provision in any Loan Document held
to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable is fully severable; the appropriate
Loan Document shall be construed and enforced as if that provision had never
been included; and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and
effect and shall not be affected by the severed provision.  Borrower and Lender
agree to negotiate (between themselves and with any other party to that Loan
Document), in good faith, the terms of a replacement provision as similar to
the severed provision as may be possible and be legal, valid, and enforceable.

         11.8    Forum, Consent to Service and Jurisdiction, and Jury Trial.
Any Litigation against Borrower with respect to any Loan Document or any
judgment entered by any court in respect of any Loan Document may be brought in
New York courts or in the United States courts located in the Borough of
Manhattan in New York City as Lender in its sole discretion may elect.
Borrower hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of those courts for
the purpose of any Litigation.  Borrower hereby agrees that service of all
writs, process, and summonses in any Litigation brought in New York may be
brought upon Process Agent, and Borrower irrevocably appoints Process Agent as
Borrower's true and lawful attorney-in-fact in Borrower's name, place, and
stead to accept that service of all of those writs, process, and summonses.
Borrower irrevocably consents to the service of process in any Litigation in
those courts by the mailing it by registered or certified mail, postage
prepaid, to Borrower's address for purposes of notices under this agreement.
Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any objections which it may now or in the
future have to the laying of venue of any Litigation arising out of or relating
to any Loan Document brought in any court located in the Borough of Manhattan,
New York City, and further irrevocably waives any claim that any such
Litigation brought in that court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
BORROWER WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT LAWFUL TO DO SO, ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY
TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN
DOCUMENT.

         11.9    Entirety.  The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement
between the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, if
any, relating to the subject matter of the Loan Documents.

         11.10   Amendments, Consents, Conflicts, and Waivers.  Unless
otherwise specifically provided (a) the provisions of this agreement may be
amended, modified, or waived, only by an instrument in writing executed by
Borrower and Lender and supplemented only by documents delivered or to be
delivered in accordance with the express terms of this agreement, (b) any
conflict or ambiguity between the terms and provisions of this agreement and
terms and provisions in any other Loan Document is controlled by the terms and
provisions of this agreement, (c) no course of dealing or any failure or delay
by Lender in exercising any right or remedy operates as a waiver of that right
or remedy, and (d) a waiver must be in writing and signed by Lender to be
effective and will be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which it is given.

         11.11   Multiple Counterparts.  Any Loan Document may be executed in a
number of identical counterparts (including, at Lender's discretion,
counterparts or signature pages executed and transmitted by telecopy) with the
same effect as if all signatories had signed the same document.  All
counterparts must be construed together to constitute one and the same
instrument.

         11.12   Parties and Participations.  Each Loan Document to which
Borrower and Lender are party binds and inures to them and their respective
successors and permitted assigns.  Borrower may not assign or transfer any
rights or obligations under any Loan Document without first obtaining Lender's
consent, and any purported assignment or transfer without Lender's consent is
void.  Lender may assign or transfer any of its rights and obligations under
the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, participations sold to any
other financial institution.  Any participation may not affect the rights and
obligations of Lender vis-a-vis Borrower, and Borrower is never obligated to
Lender for any cost or expense in excess of amounts that would be due by
Borrower to Lender if Lender had never granted any participation.
