                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

1.   GENERAL

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all material adjustments which are necessary to
present fairly the financial position as of April 30, 1995 and the results of
operations and cash flows for the three months and six months then ended.

     It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's 1994
Form 10K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

     NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE:  Net income per common and common equivalent
share, after the reduction for preferred stock dividends in the amount of
$256,000 during the six months ended April 30, 1995, is based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the year and the common stock
equivalents that have a dilutive effect. Net income per common share assuming
full dilution is not significantly different than net income per share as shown.

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     Funds provided from operations and bank borrowings have historically been
the sources for meeting working capital requirements, financing capital
expenditures, acquisitions, and paying cash dividends.  Management believes that
funds from these sources will remain available and adequately serve the
Company's liquidity needs.  On September 22, 1994, the Company signed a $100
million unsecured revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of U.S. banks, and
on May 1, 1995, this credit line was increased to $125 million.  This agreement
expires September 22, 1998, and at the Company's option, may be extended one
year.  The credit facility provides, at the Company's option, interest at the
prime rate or IBOR +.45%.  As of April 30, 1995, the total amount outstanding
under this facility, before the increase to $125 million discussed above, was
approximately $90.2 million which was comprised of loans in the amount of $25
million and standby letters of credit of $65.2 million.  The effective interest
rate on bank borrowings for the six months ended April 30, 1995 was
approximately 7.44%.  This agreement requires the Company to meet certain
financial ratios and places some limitations on dividend payments and outside
borrowing.  The Company is prohibited from declaring or paying cash dividends
exceeding 50% of its net income for any fiscal year.

     In connection with the acquisition of System Parking, the Company assumed a
note payable in the amount of $3,818,000.  Interest on this note is payable at
an annual rate of 9.35% with principal amounts of $636,000 due annually through
October 1, 1998.  At April 30, 1995, the balance remaining on this note was
$2,545,000.

     At April 30, 1995, working capital was $92.7 million, as compared to $90.2
million at October 31, 1994.

EFFECT OF INFLATION

     The low rates of inflation experienced in recent years had no material
impact on the financial statements of the Company.  The Company attempts to
recover inflationary costs by increasing sales prices to the extent permitted by
contracts and competition.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

     The Company's operations are subject to various

                                       7

<PAGE>

federal, state and/or local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the
environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, such as
discharge into soil, water and air, and the generation, handling, storage,
transportation and disposal of waste and hazardous substances.

     These laws have the effect of increasing costs and potential liabilities
associated with the conduct of the Company's operations, although historically
they have not had a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position
or its results of operations.

     The Company is currently involved in various stages of environmental
investigation and/or remediation relating to certain current and former Company
facilities.  While it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of these
investigations, or to assess the likelihood and scope of further investigation
and remediation activities, based on information currently available, management
believes that the costs of these matters are not reasonably likely to have a
material adverse affect on the Company's financial position or its results of
operations.

ACQUISITIONS

     Effective November 1, 1994, the Company's ABM Janitorial Services Division
acquired substantially all of the maintenance services contracts from Quality
Building Maintenance, Inc. of Seattle for a cash downpayment made at the time of
closing plus annual contingent payments based upon gross profit of acquired
contracts to be made over a four-year period.

     As of January 1, 1995, the Company's Ampco System Parking Division acquired
the parking operations of Pansini Corporation for a cash downpayment made at the
time of the closing plus annual contingent payments based upon gross profit of
acquired contracts to be made over a five-year period.  The parking contracts
obtained as a result of this acquisition are expected to add approximately 100
facilities in California and Hawaii.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements of the Company. All information in the
discussion and references to the years and quarters are based on the Company's
fiscal year and second quarter which ended on October 31 and April 30,
respectively.

SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1995 VS. SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1994

     Revenues and other income (hereafter called revenues) for the first six
months of fiscal year 1995 were $466 million compared to $427 million in 1994, a
9% increase over the same period of the prior year.  The 9% increase in revenues
was attributed to volume and price increases as well as revenues generated from
acquisitions.  As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses and cost of goods
sold were 85.9% during the six months of fiscal year 1995 compared to 85.8% for
the same period in 1994.  Consequently, as a percentage of revenues, gross
profit (revenue minus operating expenses and cost of goods sold) was 14.1% for
the six months ended April 30, 1995, as compared to 14.2% for the same period of
fiscal year 1994. The principal factors which contributed to the decline of
gross profit margin were competitive market conditions and pricing pressures
experienced by some of the operating divisions of the Company, as well as the
impact from certain larger Ampco System Parking Division contracts whose gross
profit percentage is much lower.  The Company expects this competitive
environment to continue throughout 1995.

     Selling and administrative expense for the six months of fiscal year 1995
was $50.9 million compared to $48.5 million, up $2.4 million or 5%, for the
corresponding six months of fiscal year 1994.  As a percentage of revenues,
selling and administrative expense decreased from 11.4% for the six months ended
April 30, 1994 to 10.9% for the same period in 1995.  The increase in the dollar
amount of selling and administrative expense for the six months ended April 30,
1995, compared to the same period in 1994, is due to revenue growth, expenses
associated with acquisitions, and an increase in the profit sharing expense.

     Interest expense was $2,034,000 for the first six months of fiscal year
1995 compared to $1,460,000 in 1994, an increase of $574,000 over the same
period of the prior fiscal year.  The increase in interest expense was due to
higher bank borrowings in 1995 primarily necessitated by acquisitions and
interest paid to state and federal tax authorities on fully accrued income
taxes.

     The effective income tax rate for the first six months of both fiscal year
1994 and 1995 was 42%.


                                        9

<PAGE>

     Net income for the first six months of fiscal year 1995 was $7,330,000, an
increase of 19%, compared to the prior year's net income of $6,145,000. However,
due to the increase in average shares outstanding and the deduction of a
preferred stock dividend of $256,000 in the calculation of earnings per share,
per common share earnings increased 12% to 75 cents for the first six months of
1995 compared to 67 cents for the same period in 1994.

     The results of operations from the Company's three industry segments and
its eight operating divisions for the six months ended April 30, 1995 as
compared to the six months ended April 30, 1994 are more fully described below:

          Revenues of the Janitorial Services segment for the first six months
          of fiscal year 1995 were $249 million, an increase of $16 million or
          6.7%, over the first six months of fiscal 1994, while its operating
          profits increased by 6.5% over the comparable period of 1994.
          Janitorial Services accounted for approximately 53% of the Company's
          consolidated revenues for the six months of fiscal year 1995.  The
          Janitorial Division's revenues increased by 6.7% during the first six
          months of fiscal year 1995 as compared to the same period of 1994
          primarily as a result of acquisitions and volume increases recorded by
          this Division's Northeast, Northwest, and Southeast Regions partially
          offset by revenue losses in its Midwest and Canadian Regions.  As a
          result of an overall increase in revenues, this Division's operating
          profits increased 6% when compared to the same period last year.
          Labor and labor-related expenses and other direct expenses remained
          fairly constant whereby this Division was able to maintain its gross
          margin during the first six months of the fiscal year 1995 over the
          same period of the prior year. The Division's selling and
          administrative expenses were in line with its revenue growth.  The
          Janitorial Supply Division's revenue for the first six months
          increased by approximately 8.3% compared to the same period in 1994
          generally due to increased sales from new customers in Northern
          California.  An increase of 25% in operating profits was a result of a
          larger sales volume as well as its efforts to control its selling and
          administrative expenses.

          Amtech Services reported revenues of $120 million, which represent
          approximately 26% of the Company's consolidated revenues for the first
          six months of 1995, an increase of approximately 9% over the same
          period of last year.  Amtech Services' profit

                                       10

<PAGE>

          increased 58% compared to the first six months of fiscal year 1994 as
          all its divisions posted higher operating profits for the six months
          ended April 30, 1995.  The Mechanical Division's operating profits for
          the first six months of 1995 increased by 29% even with a 3% drop in
          revenues caused generally by the poor weather conditions in California
          during the Winter and Spring months.  This Division's successful
          efforts in reducing its overhead expenses enabled it to increase its
          operating profits.  The Lighting Division's revenues were up 29%
          largely due to increased sales volume posted by the majority of its
          branches by obtaining additional time and material contracts and
          supplemented by increased business from existing customers.  As a
          result of this revenue growth, operating profits increased by 23%
          during the first six months of fiscal year 1995.  Operating profits
          were somewhat negatively impacted by lower margin retrofit contracts.
          Revenues for the Elevator Division were down by 8% for the first six
          months of fiscal year 1995 over the same period of 1994 generally due
          to decreased construction business as the Division is down-sizing this
          line of business since it remains highly competitive and contributes
          lower margins.  However, the Division increased its operating profits
          by 169% for the six months of 1995.  The improved operating results
          are due to a fundamental change in management's strategy to emphasize
          services related to maintenance and repair business; this change has
          enabled the Division to improve its gross profits.  In addition, this
          Division's reduction of its selling and administrative expenses were
          offset by currency translation losses arising from its Mexican
          subsidiary.  The Engineering Division's revenues increased by 23% and
          reported a 61% increase in operating profits in the first six months
          of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994.  Revenues increased
          generally from the start-up of the Midwest and Northeast Regions,
          obtaining several new contracts, and price increases to its existing
          customers.  The increase in operating profit resulted from increased
          business and reductions in insurance and other direct expenses, as
          well as containing its selling and administrative expenses.

          Revenues of the Other Services segment for the first six months of
          1995 were approximately $97 million, a 17% increase over the same
          period of fiscal year 1995.  Other Services accounted for
          approximately 21%

                                       11

<PAGE>

          of the Company's consolidated revenues.  The operating profits of
          Other Services were up by 5% primarily due to profit improvement by
          its Parking Division.  The Parking Division's revenues increased by
          19% and its profits increased by 13% during the first six months of
          fiscal year 1995 compared to 1994.  The increase in revenues is
          primarily due to the acquisition of a parking business in Northern
          California and from obtaining contracts to manage parking operations
          at several major airports in the U.S.  The increase in operating
          profits was primarily due to improved business conditions in its
          Southern California Region and income derived from its airport
          operations, offset partially by the loss of some contracts in the
          Midwest.  The Security Division reported an increase in revenues of
          14% compared to 1994, but its profits decreased by 4% in the first six
          months of 1995 compared to the same period of 1994.  The increase in
          revenues resulted from obtaining several new contracts during the
          latter part of fiscal year 1994 and earlier in the fiscal year 1995.
          The decrease in operating income during the first six months as
          compared to the prior year was primarily due to lower margins
          necessitated by competitive bidding in order to obtain certain larger
          contracts.


THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1995 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1994

     Revenues and other income for the second quarter of fiscal year 1995 were
$234 million compared to $216 million in 1994, a 9% increase over the same
quarter of the prior year.  The growth in revenues for the second quarter of
1995 over the same quarter of the prior year was attributable to volume and
price increases as well as revenues generated from acquisitions.  As a
percentage of revenues, operating expenses and cost of goods sold increased
slightly from 85.7% for the second quarter of 1995 compared to 85.5% in 1994.
Consequently, as a percentage of revenues, the Company's gross profit decreased
to 14.3% from the prior year's second quarter at 14.5% due to strong competition
and continued pricing pressures faced by several of its divisions in the market
place.

     Selling and administrative expense for the second quarter of fiscal year
1995 was $25.3 million compared to $24.8 million, an increase of approximately
$500,000 or 2%, compared to the corresponding three months of fiscal year 1994.
As a percentage of revenues, selling and

                                       12

<PAGE>

administrative expense decreased from 11.5% for the three months ended April 30,
1994, to 10.8% for the same period in 1995 primarily as a result of management's
continued efforts to contain expenses.  The increase in the dollar amount of
selling and administrative expense for the three months ended April 30, 1995,
compared to the same period in 1994, was in line with the Company's revenue
growth.

     Interest expense was $1,293,000 for the second three months of fiscal year
1995 compared to $743,000 in 1994, an increase of $550,000 over the same period
of the prior fiscal year.  Interest expense increased primarily due to tax
payments made to federal and state tax authorities on fully accrued income taxes
as well as interest expenses associated with higher bank borrowings during the
three months ended April 30, 1995, as compared to 1994.

     The effective income tax rate for the second three months of both fiscal
year 1995 and 1994 was 42%.

     Net income for the second quarter of 1995 was $3,943,000, an increase of
19%, compared to the net income of $3,318,000 for the second quarter of 1994.
Cost controls, coupled with the revenue growth, enabled the Company to realize
improved earnings.  However, due to the increase in the average number of common
and common equivalent shares outstanding, earnings per share rose 11% to 40
cents for the second quarter of 1995 compared to 36 cents for the same period in
1994.

     The results of operations from the Company's three industry segments and
its eight operating divisions for the three months ended April 30, 1995, as
compared to the three months ended April 30, 1994, are more fully described
below:

     Revenues of the Janitorial Divisions of the second quarter of fiscal year
     1995 were $124 million, an increase of approximately $15 million or 14%,
     over the second quarter of fiscal 1994, while its operating
     profitsincreased by 8% over the comparable quarter of 1994.  Janitorial
     Divisions accounted for approximately53% of the Company's revenues for the
     current quarter.  ABM Janitorial Services' revenues increased by 14% during
     the second quarter of fiscal year 1995 as compared to the same quarter of
     1994 as a result of acquisitions made during the latter part of fiscal year
     1994 and earlier in fiscal year 1995 as well as revenue growth throughout
     the majority of its regions except for its Canadian and Midwest Regions.
     The Division's operating profits only increased 8% when compared to the
     same period last year.  In comparison with the 14%

                                       13
<PAGE>

     revenue increase, a lower than expected 8% increase in operating profits is
     principally due to higher selling and administrative expenses associated
     with marketing efforts to increase its revenues.  Easterday Janitorial
     Supply Division's second quarter revenues increased by approximately 15%
     compared to the same quarter in 1994 generally due to an increase in new
     customers.  An increase of 7% in operating profits results from a higher
     sales volume, containment of selling and administrative expenses, and
     partially offset by higher paper products and plastic liners material
     expenses.

     Amtech Divisions reported revenues of $60 million, which represent
     approximately 26% of the Company's revenues for the second quarter of
     fiscal year 1995, an increase of approximately 17% over the same quarter of
     last year.  Amtech Divisions' profit increased 48% for the second quarter
     of 1995 when compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 1994 as all its
     divisions recorded profit increases.  CommAir Mechanical Services
     Division's operating profits for the second quarter of 1995 increased by
     25% on a revenue increased by 8%.  Revenues from project oriented type of
     contracts increased during the second quarter of 1995.  As a result of
     depressed market conditions in Southern California one-time service and
     repair jobs are still sluggish.  Improved gross profit margins and a
     reduction in selling and administrative expenses accounted for the profit
     increase.  Amtech Lighting Services Division reported a 34% revenue
     increase benefiting from a continued expansion in the Southeast and an
     expanded customer contract base from existing customers and its operating
     profits increased by 23%.  While the selling and administrative expenses
     were in line with the level of revenue increase, a decline in gross profit
     as a percentage of revenues partially offset its operating profits.  This
     erosion of gross margins was caused by increases in material expenses.
     Revenues for the Amtech Elevator Services Division were down by 4% for the
     second quarter of fiscal year 1995 over the same quarter of 1994 largely
     due to management's decision to allocate the Division's resources to its
     repair and service maintenance business rather than obtaining lower margin
     construction contracts.  The Division more than doubled its operating
     profit for the second quarter compared to the corresponding quarter of
     fiscal year 1994 primarily due to higher gross margins from its maintenance
     and repair jobs and, as discussed above, from management's decision to de-
     emphasize the construction business where margins are historically lower.

     Services Division's revenues increased by 37% and it reported a 54%
     increase in operating profits the second quarter of 1995 compared to the
     same period in 1994.  Revenue increases generally were recorded by all its
     regions primarily reflecting increased penetration into new markets as well
     as from price increases to existing customers.  The increase in operating
     profits resulted from increased revenues, reductions in payroll related
     costs including insurance expenses, and containment of selling and
     administrative expenses.

     Revenues of the Other Divisions for the second quarter of 1995 were
     approximately $50 million, a 76% increase over the same quarter of fiscal
     year 1994.  Other Divisions accounted for approximately 21% of the
     Company's revenues.  The operating profits of Other Divisions were up by
     17% primarily due to improved operating profits by its Ampco System Parking
     Division and ASI Security Services.  Ampco System Parking Division's
     revenues increased by 146% while its profits increased 25% during the
     second quarter of fiscal year 1995.  The increase in revenues resulted from
     a recent acquisition in Northern California as well as procuring parking
     management contracts of several major airports.  Operating profits were up
     primarily due to the recent acquisition, airport contracts, and improved
     economic conditions in the Division's Southern California Region.  ASI
     Security Services reported an increase in revenues of 17% but its profits
     were up only 8% in the second quarter of 1995 compared to the same period
     of 1994.  The revenue growth was largely due to obtaining several large
     customers and increases posted by its South Central Region.  Revenue
     increases during the second quarter as compared to the second quarter of
     the prior year contributed to the increase in operating profits; however,
     competitive market conditions eroded the gross margins historically
     realized by this Division.

continuing.

          (b)  The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this
Amendment have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and other action
and do not and will not require any registration with, consent or approval of,
notice to or action by, any Person (including any Governmental Authority) in
order to be effective and enforceable.  The Credit Agreement as amended by this
Amendment constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company,
enforceable against it in accordance with its respective terms, without defense,
counterclaim or offset.

          (c)  All representations and warranties of the Company contained in
the Credit Agreement are true and correct.

          (d)  The Company is entering into this Amendment on the basis of its

1995 (the "EFFECTIVE DATE"), PROVIDED that each of the following conditions is
satisfied:

          (a)  Except as herein expressly amended, all terms, covenants and
provisions of the Credit Agreement are and shall remain in full force and effect
and all references therein to such Credit Agreement shall henceforth refer to
the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment.  This Amendment shall be
deemed incorporated into, and a part of, the Credit Agreement.

<PAGE>

          (d)  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together
shall constitute but one and the same instrument.  Each of the parties hereto
understands and agrees that this document (and any other document required
herein) may be delivered by any party thereto either in the form of an executed
original or an executed original sent by facsimile transmission to be followed
promptly by mailing of a hard copy original, and that receipt by the Agent of a
facsimile transmitted document purportedly bearing the signature of a Bank or
the Company shall bind such Bank or the Company, respectively, with the same
force and effect as the delivery of a hard copy original.  Any failure by the
Agent to receive the hard copy executed original of such document shall not
diminish the binding effect of receipt of the facsimile transmitted executed
original of such document of the party whose hard copy page was not received by
the Agent.

          (e)  This Amendment, together with the Credit Agreement, contains the
entire and exclusive agreement of the parties hereto with reference to the
matters discussed herein and therein.  This Amendment supersedes all prior
drafts and communications with respect thereto.  This Amendment may not be
amended except in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.1 of the Credit
Agreement.

          (f)  If any term or provision of this Amendment shall be deemed
prohibited by or invalid under any applicable law, such provision shall be
invalidated without affecting the remaining provisions of this Amendment or
the Credit Agreement, respectively.

          (g)  The Company covenants to pay to or reimburse the Agent and the
Banks, upon demand, for all costs and expenses (including allocated costs of in-
house counsel) incurred in connection with the development, preparation,
negotiation, execution and delivery of this Amendment, including without
limitation appraisal, audit, search and filing fees incurred in connection
therewith.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed and delivered
this Waiver and Amendment as of the date first above written.

     The undersigned, Harry H. Kahn hereby certifies that he is Secretary of ABM
Industries Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the "Company") and that as such
he is authorized to execute this certificate on behalf of the Company, and
further certifies, represents and warrants on behalf of the Company that the
following resolutions were adopted by the Executive Committee of the Board of
Directors of said Company on August 30, 1994:

     RESOLVED, that this Company (a) borrow and (b) obtain for the account of
     this corporation commercial and standby letters of credit issued by one or
     more of such banks, from various domestic banks, from time to time, such
     sums of money, all as, in the judgment of the authorized persons
     hereinafter, this Company may require for its general corporate purposes.

     RESOLVED FURTHER, that any one of the following authorized persons, the
     Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, or the
     Chairman of the Board of Directors; or any two of the following authorized
     persons, the President, a Vice President, the Treasurer and the Secretary
     (such persons being hereinafter referred to as the "authorized persons"),
     are hereby authorized, directed and empowered, in the name of this Company,
     to execute and deliver to such banks, and the banks are requested to
     accept, financing agreements, the note or notes, security agreements and
     documents, advance account agreements, acceptance agreements or other
     instruments evidencing the indebtedness of this Company for the monies
     borrowed, or to be borrowed, with interest thereon, said authorized
     officers being also hereby authorized to execute renewals or extensions of
     said notes, security agreements, advance account agreements, acceptance
     agreements or other instruments;

     RESOLVED FURTHER, that any authorized person as delineated above may borrow
     upon telephoned request, and any bank to which such request is telephoned
     is authorized to make advances of the amounts so requested to be borrowed
     to this Company; provided, however, that such advances shall be made only
     by making deposit in one or more of the Company's commercial accounts with
     such bank or with another bank with which it maintains a commercial
     account.  Such bank shall not be responsible for acting in accordance with
     such telephonic requests and directions as to which account the advances
     are to be deposited, provided it reasonably believes the person making the
     request to be so authorized.  Any such advances shall be conclusively
     presumed to have been made to or for the benefit of the Company when

                      SECOND AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT


     THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AGREEMENT ("AMENDMENT"), dated as of May 1,

continuing.

          (b)  The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this
Amendment have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and other action
and do not and will not require any registration with, consent or approval of,
notice to or action by, any Person (including any Governmental Authority) in
order to be effective and enforceable.  The Credit Agreement as amended by this
Amendment constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company,
enforceable against it in accordance with its respective terms, without defense,
counterclaim or offset.

          (c)  All representations and warranties of the Company contained in
the Credit Agreement are true and correct.

          (d)  The Company is entering into this Amendment on the basis of its
own investigation and for its own reasons, without reliance upon the Agent and
the Banks or any other Person.

     4.   EFFECTIVE DATE.  This Amendment will become effective as of May 1,
1995 (the "EFFECTIVE DATE"), PROVIDED that each of the following conditions is
satisfied:

          (a)  By no later than May 1, 1995, the Agent has received from the
Company and the Banks a duly executed original (or, if elected by the Agent, an
executed facsimile copy) of this Amendment.

          (b)  By no later than May 1, 1995, the Agent has received from the
Company a copy of a resolution passed by the board of directors of such
corporation, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of such
corporation as being in full force and effect on the date hereof, authorizing
the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment.

          (c)  All representations and warranties contained herein are true and
correct as of the Effective Date.

          (d)  The Company pays a fee of $15,000, to be shared pro rata by the
Banks.

     5.   MISCELLANEOUS.

          (a)  Except as herein expressly amended, all terms, covenants and
provisions of the Credit Agreement are and shall remain in full force and effect
and all references therein to such Credit Agreement shall henceforth refer to
the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment.  This Amendment shall be
deemed incorporated into, and a part of, the Credit Agreement.

          (b)  This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and thereto and their respective successors and assigns.  No
third party beneficiaries are intended in connection with this Amendment.


                                       -2-

<PAGE>

          (c)  This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the law of the State of California.

          (d)  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together
shall constitute but one and the same instrument.  Each of the parties hereto
understands and agrees that this document (and any other document required
herein) may be delivered by any party thereto either in the form of an executed
original or an executed original sent by facsimile transmission to be followed
promptly by mailing of a hard copy original, and that receipt by the Agent of a
facsimile transmitted document purportedly bearing the signature of a Bank or
the Company shall bind such Bank or the Company, respectively, with the same
force and effect as the delivery of a hard copy original.  Any failure by the
Agent to receive the hard copy executed original of such document shall not
diminish the binding effect of receipt of the facsimile transmitted executed
original of such document of the party whose hard copy page was not received by
the Agent.

          (e)  This Amendment, together with the Credit Agreement, contains the
entire and exclusive agreement of the parties hereto with reference to the
matters discussed herein and therein.  This Amendment supersedes all prior
drafts and communications with respect thereto.  This Amendment may not be
amended except in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.1 of the Credit
Agreement.

          (f)  If any term or provision of this Amendment shall be deemed
prohibited by or invalid under any applicable law, such provision shall be
invalidated without affecting the remaining provisions of this Amendment or the
Credit Agreement, respectively.

          (g)  The Company covenants to pay to or reimburse the Agent and the
Banks, upon demand, for all costs and expenses (including allocated costs of in-
house counsel) incurred in connection with the development, preparation,
negotiation, execution and delivery of this Amendment, including without
limitation appraisal, audit, search and filing fees incurred in connection
therewith.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed and delivered
this Waiver and Amendment as of the date first above written.
