         June 24, 1997 (the "Closing Date"), at the initial closing

         under the Investment Agreement (the "Closing"), AP-AGC acquired

         553,475 shares of a new series of preferred stock of the Issuer

         designated 20% Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred

         Stock, Series A ("Series A Preferred Shares") and 1,106,950

         Warrants to acquire Common Stock ("Warrants") for an aggregate

         purchase price equal to $5,534,752.  On June 30, 1997 (the

         "Subsequent Issuance") AP-AGC acquired an additional 334,000

         Series A Preferred Shares and 668,000 Warrants for an aggregate

         purchase price of $3,340,000.  AP-AGC obtained the funds

         required to consummate the Closing and the Subsequent Issuance

         from Apollo Fund II, which obtained such funds from capital

         contributions from its partners.


                   On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth

         in the Investment Agreement, AP-AGC has agreed to purchase from

         the Issuer, and the Issuer has agreed to issue to AP-AGC, up to

         2,500,000 Series A Preferred Shares and, on a pro rata basis,

         up to 5,000,000 Warrants (including those Series A Preferred

         Shares and Warrants acquired at the Closing and the Subsequent

         Issuance) for an aggregate purchase price of up to $25,000,000.

         Under the Investment Agreement, the additional Series A Pre-

         ferred Shares and Warrants are to be acquired by AP-AGC (on a

         pro rata basis) as and when appropriate real estate investment

         opportunities are identified and approved by AP-AGC and the

         Board of Directors of the Issuer (the "Issuer's Board").  If,


                                Page 8 of 27 Pages<PAGE>







         however, the Issuer has not presented AP-AGC with real estate

         development projects pursuant to which AP-AGC has invested

         $25,000,000 on the terms and conditions set forth in the

         Investment Agreement, AP-AGC has the option to acquire such

         securities at any time.  The Investment Agreement further

         provides that, if the full $25,000,000 has not been invested by

         June 30, 1998, the Company may, subject to the terms and

         conditions set forth in the Investment Agreement, require AP-

         AGC to invest the remaining amount not yet invested.  


                   The funds for making additional acquisitions of

         Series A Preferred Shares and Warrants pursuant to the Invest-

         ment Agreement will be contributed to AP-AGC by Apollo Fund II,

         which will obtain such funds from its partners.


                   As of the date of this Statement, the Reporting

         Persons beneficially own an aggregate of 9,347,826 Common

         Shares (including 1,543,435 Common Shares which may be acquired

         upon the conversion of the 887,475 Series A Preferred Shares

         currently owned and 1,774,950 Common Shares which may be

         acquired upon the exercise of Warrants currently owned, as well

         as Common Shares which may be acquired upon the conversion of

         Series A Preferred Shares or the exercise of Warrants which are

         not currently outstanding, but which AP-AGC has the right to

         acquire under the Investment Agreement.)

         Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.


         The Investment


                   AP-AGC is making its investment in the Issuer because

         it believes that the acquisition of the Series A Preferred

         Shares and the Warrants is an attractive investment opportu-

         nity.  In accordance with the terms of the Investment Agree-

         ment, AP-AGC has three nominees on the Issuer's seven member

         Board, and AP-AGC expects to be involved in and to influence

         the management and direction of the Issuer.


                   The Series A Preferred Shares rank senior to Common

         Shares with respect to dividends and distributions.  Holders of

         the Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to cash dividends on

         a quarterly basis at a rate of 20% per annum.  In the event

         cash dividends are not paid, the dividends will accumulate.  


                   As described below under certain circumstances, a

         holder of Series A Preferred Shares may require the Issuer to

         repurchase such shares for a repurchase price equal to their

         liquidation preference (including accumulated dividends).  The

         holders' rights to receive such repurchase price are secured by

         a first lien over the Issuer's stock in, and the assets of, a

         newly formed special purpose subsidiary ("SP Subsidiary")

         formed for the purpose of holding and investing the amounts




                               Page 10 of 27 Pages<PAGE>







         received from AP-AGC and the proceeds thereof, and by a second

         lien over substantially all the remaining assets of the Issuer.


                   As described in Item 3 above, on the Agreement Date,

         AP-AGC and the Issuer entered into the Investment Agreement

         which is included as an exhibit to this Statement and is incor-

         porated herein by reference.  The Statement of Preferences and

         Rights of the Series A Preferred Shares (the "Series A

         Certificate") and the form of Warrant are also included as

         exhibits to this Statement and incorporated by reference

         herein.  This description of the Investment Agreement and the

         transactions contemplated thereby (the "Transaction") sum-

         marizes certain material provisions of the Investment

         Agreement, the Series A Certificate, the form of Warrant and

         the Transaction and is not intended to be complete, but is

         qualified throughout by reference to such documents.  Unless

         otherwise noted, section references in this Statement refer to

         sections of the Investment Agreement.  In addition, the

         Transaction (including the terms of the Series A Preferred

         Shares and the Warrants) is described in the Proxy Statement of

         the Issuer dated May 21, 1997 relating to its Annual Meeting of

         Stockholders for 1997 (the "Proxy Statement"), which has been

         filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         Acquisition of Additional Securities of the Issuer


                   Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, AP-AGC has

         agreed, subject to the terms and conditions therein set forth,

         to acquire from the Issuer up to an aggregate of 2,500,000

         Series A Preferred Shares at a price of $9.88 per share and, on

         a pro rata basis with the Series A Preferred Shares, up to an

         aggregate of 5,000,000 Warrants at a price of $.06 per Warrant

         (including the Series A Preferred Shares and Warrants acquired

         in the Closing), for an aggregate purchase price of up to

         $25,000,000.  The Warrants to be acquired by AP-AGC are to be

         divided as nearly as possible into equal numbers of Class A,

         Class B and Class C Warrants which are identical except that

         they have different minimum exercise prices after the one-time

         adjustment that may be made to the exercise price.  Under the

         Investment Agreement, the Series A Preferred Shares and War-

         rants are to be acquired by AP-AGC (on a pro rata basis) as and

         when appropriate real estate investment opportunities are iden-

         tified and approved by AP-AGC and the Issuer's Board, although,

         if the Issuer has not presented AP-AGC with real estate

         development prospects pursuant to which AP-AGC has invested

         $25,000,000,  AP-AGC has the option to acquire such securities

         at any time.  The Investment Agreement further provides that,

         if the full $25,000,000 has not been invested by June 30, 1998,

         the Company may, subject to the terms and conditions set forth

         in the Investment Agreement, require AP-AGC to invest the


                               Page 12 of 27 Pages<PAGE>







         remaining amount not yet invested.  The Investment Agreement

         provides the AP-AGC will not be obligated to acquire additional

         Series A Preferred Shares and Warrants if an Event of Default

         (as defined, to include certain uncured breaches, material

         adverse changes, and bankruptcy-related events) shall have

         occurred and (except in the case of bankruptcy events) be

         continuing.  (Sections 2.5(c) and 3.4).


                   At the Closing on June 24, 1997, AP-AGC acquired

         553,475 Series A Preferred Shares and 1,106,950 Warrants for an

         aggregate price of $5,534,752.  On June 30, 1997, AP-AGC

         acquired an additional 334,000 Series A Preferred Shares and

         668,000 Warrants for an aggregate price of $3,340,000.  Based

         on the Exchange Price of $5.75 (which is subject to certain

         antidilution adjustments), the 2,500,000 Series A Preferred

         Shares to be issued under the Investment Agreement are

         currently convertible into 4,347,826 Common Shares.  Based on

         the Warrant Exercise Price of $5.75 (which is subject to

         certain antidilution and other adjustments) the 5,000,000

         Warrants are exercisable for 5,000,000 Common Shares.  If

         dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares are not paid in

         cash, but are accrued and added to the liquidation preference,

         the number of Common Shares into which the Series A Preferred

         Shares are convertible shall increase accordingly.






                               Page 13 of 27 Pages<PAGE>







                   The Reporting Persons do not intend to amend or sup-

         plement this Statement to reflect additional issuances of

         Series A Preferred Shares and Warrants under the Investment

         Agreement up to the amount disclosed as beneficially owned on

         this Statement.


         Disposition of Issuer Securities


                   Under the Investment Agreement, AP-AGC is not permit-

         ted to transfer its Series A Preferred Shares or Warrants (or

         Common Shares issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof,

         respectively) for a period of two years from the Agreement

         Date, although these restrictions lapse in certain events,

         including certain events of default under the Investment Agree-

         ment or certain change in control events.  (Section 6.1.)  


                   The Issuer may redeem the Series A Preferred Shares

         at any time on or after June 24, 2000, in whole or in part, 

         at a redemption price equal to their liquidation preference 

         (which includes the compounded value of accumulated dividends).

         (See Section 5 of the Series A Certificate, which is attached 

         hereto as an exhibit and incorporated herein by reference).  


                   Except as described in the following sentence, the

         Series A Preferred Shares are not redeemable at the option of

         any holder thereof prior to June 24, 2001; provided that after

         that date a holder may require the Issuer to repurchase from it



                               Page 14 of 27 Pages<PAGE>







         (i) prior to June 23, 2002 up to one-third of the total number

         of Series A Preferred Shares issued, (ii) prior to June 24,

         2003 up to two-thirds of the total number of Series A Preferred

         Shares issued and (iii) after June 24, 2003, all of its Series

         A Preferred Shares.  A holder's right to require the Issuer to

         repurchase its Series A Preferred Shares will be accelerated

         and immediately exercisable in the case of certain events of

         default by the Issuer, including certain payment defaults, cer-

         tain change of control events, certain bankruptcy-related

         events and certain material breaches of the Investment Agree-

         ment (in particular of covenants relating to the Issuer's obli-

         gation to obtain AP-AGC's consent to engage in certain Major

         Transactions, as described below).  (See Section 8 of the

         Series A Certificate.)


                   The Investment Agreement grants certain registration

         rights to the holders of Series A Preferred Shares and Common

         Shares issuable upon the conversion of Series A Preferred

         Shares or upon the exercise of Warrants, including demand

         registration rights, "piggyback" registration rights and the

         right to require the Issuer to register such securities on a

         "shelf" registration statement for continuous resale (Article

         VIII).








                               Page 15 of 27 Pages<PAGE>







                   AP-AGC may decide to dispose of some or all of its

         securities of the Issuer to the extent permitted by the Invest-

         ment Agrement.


         Changes in Issuer's Board


                   In accordance with the Investment Agreement and the

         Series A Certificate, the Issuer's Board has been reduced to

         seven directors.  The Series A Certificate provides that

         designees of the Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to

         elect three of the seven directors.  Pursuant to the Investment

         Agreement as originally executed on February 7, 1997, one

         designee of AP-AGC was elected to the Issuer's Board in February 

         1997.  Contemporaneously with the Closing, nine of the eleven 

         incumbent members of the Issuer's Board (including the 

         original AP-AGC designee) resigned, the size of the board

         was reduced to seven directors and three designees of the

         holders of the Series A Preferred Shares and two new

         independent directors were appointed.  Information regarding

         the AP-AGC-nominated directors and the other changes made to

         the Issuer's Board in connection with the transactions

         contemplated by the Investment Agreement, see the Proxy

         Statement.  AP-AGC may at any time cause any of its nominees to

         the Issuer's Board to resign or be removed, and may replace

         such resigning or removed director with a designee of its

         election.



                               Page 16 of 27 Pages<PAGE>








                   In accordance with the Series A Certificate, the

         three directors to be nominated by the holders of the Series A

         Preferred Shares shall have terms of office of one year, al-

         though the other four directors of the Company shall be classi-

         fied into three classes and have terms of office of three years

         each.  If AP-AGC holds fewer than 500,000 Series A Preferred

         Shares, the number of directors elected by the holders of

         Series A Preferred Shares may be reduced if the number of out-

         standing Series A Preferred Shares is reduced.  The Issuer's

         charter and bylaws were amended to implement the changes to the

         Issuer's Board described above.


                   Designees of the holders of Series A Preferred Shares

         currently serve on all of the committees of the Issuer's Board

         and form a majority of certain of such committees.


         Major Transactions


                   The Investment Agreement provides that so long as

         AP-AGC holds at least 500,000 Series A Preferred Shares, the

         Issuer shall not, except with the prior written approval of

         AP-AGC, engage in, or enter into any agreement with respect to,

         or resolve to engage in or to enter into any agreement with

         respect to, any Major Transaction, including "any material

         transaction which is not described in an Approved Business

         Plan, including any (i) recapitalization, redemption or



                               Page 17 of 27 Pages<PAGE>







         reclassification of, or distribution or dividend on, the Com-

         pany's capital stock, (ii) amendment of its certificate of in-

         corporation or by-laws, (iii) liquidation, winding-up or dis-

         solution of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (as de-

         fined in SEC Regulation S-X) of the Company, (iv) consolidation

         of the Company with, or merger of the Company with or into, any

         other Person, except a merger of a wholly owned Subsidiary of

         the Company into the Company, with the Company surviving such

         merger, (v) sale, transfer, lease or encumbrance by the Company

         or any Subsidiary of a significant amount of assets of the Com-

         pany other than in respect of sales of Predecessor Assets (as

         referred to in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the

         year ended December 31, 1995), (vi) special dividend or

         distribution with respect to, or repurchase, redemption or

         other acquisition of, equity securities of the Company or any

         rights, warrants or options in respect of such equity secu-

         rities, (vii) capital expenditure or investment by the Company

         or any Subsidiary in excess of $500,000, (viii) entering into

         or materially amending (including by waiver) any material con-

         tract, (ix) significant new financing or refinancing, (x)

         issuance of securities (other than employee and director stock

         options to acquire up to 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock and

         the issuance of the Common Stock thereunder), (xi) transactions

         which would result in a Change of Control, (xii) material

         transaction the nature of which prevents specificity in the



                               Page 18 of 27 Pages<PAGE>







         Approved Business Plan or (xiii) commencement, undertaking or

         acquisition of a real estate development project by SP Subsid-

         iary (whether independently, by joint venture or otherwise) and

         related financing or joint venture arrangements. . ."


                   By virtue of its representation on the Issuer's

         Board, its power to veto Major Transactions and its right to

         require the Issuer to repurchase its Series A Preferred Shares,

         in the case of certain material breaches of the Investment

         Agreement, AP-AGC expects to be able to influence the

         management and direction of the Issuer.


                   Because AP-AGC's consent would be required for any

         transaction which would result in a Change in Control of the

         Issuer and certain changes in control would permit the holders

         of Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares (as

         defined below) to require the Issuer to repurchase such

         securities at their liquidation preference (including

         accumulated dividends), the transactions effected and to be

         effected pursuant to the Investment Agreement are likely to

         impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer and to

         discourage third parties from attempting to acquire control of

         the Issuer.


                   On the Closing Date, the Issuer also sold to certain

         investors in a private placement 1,776,199 Common Shares,

         1,000,000 shares of a new series of preferred stock designated


                               Page 19 of 27 Pages<PAGE>







         its 20% Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock,

         Series B ("Series B Preferred Shares") and 2,000,000 warrants

         to purchase Common Shares.  The Series B Preferred Shares are

         substantially similar to the Series A Preferred Shares, except

         that the holders of Series B Preferred Shares will not be

         entitled to elect any directors of the Issuer and will not have

         consent rights with respect to Major Transactions, and that the

         repurchase obligations of the Company will not be secured.

         Further information regarding the terms of the Series B Pre-

         ferred Shares is contained in the Proxy Statement.  The

         Investment Agreement contemplates that the Issuer will offer up

         to 1,000,000 Series B Preferred Shares and 2,000,000 warrants

         to purchase Common Shares to its shareholders in a rights

         offering.  The warrants to purchase Common Shares issued in the

         private placement and to be issued in the rights offering will

         be substantially similar to the Warrants, except for certain

         differences necessitated by the broader holding of such war-

         rants.


         Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation


                   To facilitate the Transaction, the Issuer's share-

         holders approved at their annual meeting held on June 23, 1997,

         an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (which

         included the Series A Certificate, the Statement of Preferences

         and Rights of the Series B Preferred Shares and certain other



                               Page 20 of 27 Pages<PAGE>







         changes) and such Amended and Restated Certificate of

         Incorporation became effective on June 24, 1997 when it was

         filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware.  These changes

         were necessary to facilitate the Transaction and included the

         elimination of certain dividend preferences out of available

         cash-flow in favor of the Common Shares, the elimination of a

         prohibition on non-voting stock and an increase in the autho-

         rized amount of Common Shares.  For further details concerning

         the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation see the

         Proxy Statement. 


         Other Plans or Proposals


                   The Investment Agreement also provides that AP-AGC

         will have certain "first look" rights to participate with

         Issuer in new joint venture community development projects pro-

         posed to be entered into by the Issuer, until AP-AGC has in-

         vested $60,000,000 in such projects (Section 6.12).


                   Except as set forth in this statement (including the

         exhibits incorporated by reference herein), the Reporting Per-

         sons have no present plans or proposals which relate to or

         would result in any of the actions described in Item 4(a)

         through (j) of Schedule 13D under Rule 13d-1(a).  Depending

         upon prevailing economic and investment considerations and

         other factors that the Reporting Persons may deem relevant, the

         Reporting Persons may purchase or sell Common Shares or other


                               Page 21 of 27 Pages<PAGE>







         securities of the Issuer in the open market or in privately

         negotiated transactions or otherwise, or engage in any other

         transaction they deem appropriate. 


         Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.


                   (a)  As of the date of this Statement, the Reporting

         Persons beneficially own an aggregate of 9,347,826 Common

         Shares (including 1,543,435 Common Shares which may be acquired

         upon the conversion of the 887,475 Series A Preferred Shares

         currently owned and 1,774,950 Common Shares which may be

         acquired upon the exercise of Warrants currently owned, as well

         as Common Shares which may be acquired upon the conversion of

         Series A Preferred Shares or the exercise of Warrants which

         AP-AGC has the right to acquire at any time under the

         Investment Agreement.)


                   (b)  For purposes of Section 13 of the Act, Apollo

         Fund II may be deemed to control AP-AGC, AREA II may be deemed

         to control Apollo Fund II and Capital Advisers II may be deemed

         to control AREA II.  Each of the Reporting Persons may thus be

         considered to beneficially own and to have sole voting and dis-

         positive power with respect to all the Common Shares held of

         record by AP-AGC.


                   (c)  Except as set forth above, there have been no

         purchases or sales by any of the Reporting Persons of Common



                               Page 22 of 27 Pages<PAGE>







         Shares during the last 60 days.  To the best knowledge of the

         Reporting Persons, no person identified on Annex A has effected

         any transactions in Common Shares during the past 60 days.


                   (d)  No other person is known by the Reporting Per-

         sons to have the right to receive or the power to direct the

         receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of,

         the Common Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.


                   (e)  Not applicable.


         Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relation-

         ships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.


                   Aside from the Investment Agreement and the related

         documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, as de-

         scribed in Item 3 and Item 4 above, the Reporting Persons know

         of no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or

         relationships required to be described herein.

         SECTION 2.  ISSUANCE AND TERMS OF SECURED INSTRUMENT

              2.1  Secured Instrument.  The Obligee hereby agrees that
         on the Issuance Date, subject to the terms and conditions set
         forth herein, the Company and the Subsidiaries shall execute
         and deliver to the Obligee the Secured Instrument.  If the
         Obligee is making a loan hereunder to the Company and the
         Subsidiaries on the Issuance Date: the original outstanding
         principal amount of the Secured Instrument shall be the
         principal amount of such loan as specified by the Company, up
         to $10,000,000; there shall be only one borrowing hereunder;
         and if such loan is less than $10,000,000 the Obligee's commit-
         ment shall terminate with respect to any remaining portion of
         such $10,000,000.  If no loan is made hereunder prior to the




                                       -24-<PAGE>







         issuance of Preferred Stock pursuant to the Investment Agree-
         ment, on the Issuance Date:  there shall be no borrowings here-
         under and the Secured Instrument shall evidence the joint and
         several obligation of the Company and the other Co-Makers to
         repurchase Preferred Stock under Section 8 of the Certificate
         of Designation and pay all other Secured Obligations, all of
         which shall be secured by the Security Documents.

              2.2  Payment of Secured Instrument.  (A)  If the Obligee
         has made a loan hereunder to the Company and the Subsidiaries
         on the Issuance Date, the following provisions shall be
         applicable:  The then outstanding principal amount of the
         Secured Instrument shall be due and payable, and shall be paid
         in full by the Company and the Subsidiaries, on the Maturity
         Date.  In addition:  (a) a principal installment in an amount
         designated in writing by the Obligee in its sole discretion to
         the Company on or before December 2, 1997, not to exceed the
         lesser of (x) the outstanding amount due under the Secured
         Instrument and (y) $5,000,000, shall be due with respect to the
         Secured Instrument on December 31, 1997, provided that if the
         Obligee shall fail to designate any amount by such date, the
         amount of such installment shall be the lesser of (x) the out-
         standing amount due under the Secured Instrument and (y)
         $5,000,000, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of the
         maturity of any of the principal of the Secured Instrument
         pursuant to the provisions of Section 8 hereof or pursuant to
         the terms of the Secured Instrument, such accelerated principal
         shall be immediately due and payable.  The principal of the
         Secured Instrument may be prepaid in whole or in part, from
         time to time, without premium or penalty.  On any date that any
         principal is due and payable hereunder, anything herein to the
         contrary notwithstanding, all accrued and unpaid interest with
         respect to such principal likewise shall be due and payable on
         such date.

                   (B)  If no loan is made hereunder prior to the issu-
         ance of the Preferred Stock pursuant to the Investment Agree-
         ment, the obligations evidenced by the Secured Instrument shall
         be due and payable in accordance with the terms of the relevant
         Transaction Document.

              2.3  Conversion of Secured Instrument into Preferred
         Stock.  If the Obligee has made a loan hereunder to the Company
         and the Subsidiaries on the Issuance Date, the following
         provisions shall be applicable:  The outstanding principal
         amount of the Secured Instrument shall be convertible into
         Preferred Stock on the terms and subject to the conditions set
         forth in the Investment Agreement.  All interest and other
         amounts (other than principal) theretofore accrued and owing
         hereunder or under the Due Diligence Fee Agreement shall be


                                       -25-<PAGE>







         paid in full prior to or concurrent with such conversion.  If
         the Secured Instrument is converted into Preferred Stock and
         the Obligee purchases additional Preferred Stock as set forth
         in the Investment Agreement, the Company will be obligated to
         repurchase all such Preferred  Stock on the happening of
         certain conditions set forth in the Certificate of Designation.
         From and after such conversion of the Secured Instrument into
         Preferred Stock, the Secured Instrument shall no longer
         evidence an indebtedness for borrowed money, and
         notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary the term
         Secured Obligations as used in this Agreement and each other
         Transaction Document shall not mean or include any indebtedness
         for principal or interest, but the Secured Instrument shall
         remain in full force and effect to evidence the obligation of
         the Company to repurchase all such Preferred Stock under
         Section 8 of the Certificate of Designation and pay all other
         Secured Obligations then outstanding and the joint and several
         obligation of each and every Subsidiary to pay the Secured
         Obligations then outstanding, all of which shall continue to be
         secured by the Security Documents.  

              2.4  Interest Rates and Interest Payment Dates.

                   (a)  From and after the Issuance Date, subject to
         Sections 2.4(b) and 2.10, as well before as after judgment, the
         outstanding principal amount of any loan made hereunder by the
         Obligee on the Issuance Date at all times shall bear interest
         at a rate per annum equal to twenty percent (20%).

                   (b)  Section 2.4(a) notwithstanding, but subject to
         Section 2.10, from and after the occurrence and during the con-
         tinuance of an Event of Default and in any event at all times
         after a Negative Shareholder Vote, all amounts due hereunder
         and not paid when due shall bear interest at a per annum rate,
         as well before as after judgment, equal to twenty-three percent
         (23%) (the "Default Rate").

                   (c)  Interest on the outstanding principal amount of
         any loan made hereunder by the Obligee on the Issuance Date
         shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, pro-
         vided that from and after the occurrence and during the con-
         tinuance of an Event of Default interest accruing pursuant to
         paragraph (b) of this Section 2.4 also shall be payable on de-
         mand.

              2.5  Computation of Interest and Fees.

                   (a)  Interest and fees shall be calculated on the

                   (b)  Each determination of an interest rate by the
         Obligee pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be
         conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.

              2.6  Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.  If the Secured
         Instrument is replaced with multiple Secured Instruments
         pursuant to Section 10.6, each payment (including each
         prepayment) by the Company on account of such Secured
         Instruments shall be made pro rata according to the respective
         outstanding amounts of the Secured Instruments.  All payments
         (including prepayments) to be made by the Company hereunder and
         under the Secured Instruments shall be made without setoff or
         counterclaim and shall be made prior to noon, New York City
         time, on the due date thereof, in Dollars and in immediately
         available funds to the following account:  FBO: Apollo Real

         Chase Manhattan Bank, 380 Madison Avenue, ABA #:  021-000-021,
         Account #:  230-211755, or to such other account as Obligee may
         specify in writing.  If any payment hereunder becomes due and
         payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall
         be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with re-
         spect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be pay-
         able at then-applicable rate during such extension.

              2.7  Taxes.  Any Obligee that is not organized under the
         laws of the United States of America or a state thereof agrees
         that it will deliver to the Company and the Obligee (a) two
         duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service
         Form 1001 or 4224 or successor applicable form, as the case may
         be, and (b) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9 or
         successor applicable form.  Each such Obligee also agrees to
         deliver to the Company two further copies of the said Form 1001
         or 4224 and Form W-8 or W-9, or successor applicable forms or
         other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before
         the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or
         after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the
         most recent form previously delivered by it to the Company, and
         such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be
         requested by the Company, unless in any such case any change in
         treaty, law or regulation has occurred prior to the date on
         which any such delivery would otherwise be required which
         renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such
         Obligee from duly completing and delivering any such form with
         respect to it and such the Obligee so advises the Company and
         any other Obligees.  Such Obligee shall certify (a) in the case
         of a Form 1001 or 4224, that it is entitled to receive payments
         under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any
         United States federal income taxes, and (b) in the case of a
         Form W-8 or W-9, that it is entitled to an exemption from
         United States backup withholding tax.

              2.8  Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of any loan made by
         the Obligee hereunder shall be used only for the lawful and
         permitted corporate purposes relating to the Company's domestic
         business specified pursuant to Section 5.1(z).  The proceeds of
         the issuance of Preferred Stock shall be used as specified in
         the Investment Agreement.

              2.9  Fees.  The Company shall pay (a) to the Collateral
         Agent such fees as may be required under any agreement between
         the Company and the Collateral Agent with respect to compensa-
         tion of the Collateral Agent in respect of its services, and
         (b) to each other person or entity to whom the Company has
         agreed to pay a fee in connection with this Agreement or the
         other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated
         hereby or thereby, such fees as may be required under such
         agreement; provided in each case that such agreement has been
         approved by the Obligee.  

              2.10  Maximum Interest Rate.  Nothing contained in this
         Agreement, the Secured Instrument or any other Transaction
         Document shall require the Company or the Subsidiaries to pay
         interest at a rate exceeding the maximum rate permitted by
         applicable law.  If the amount of interest paid or payable on
         any date, computed pursuant to applicable law and the
         Transaction Documents, would exceed the maximum amount
         permitted by applicable law to be charged, the amount of
         interest paid or payable on such date shall be automatically
         reduced to such maximum permissible amount and the excess
         applied to principal or, if no principal shall be outstanding
         and such amount has been paid, returned to the payor.  If the
         amount of interest payable to the Obligee in respect of any
         interest computation period is reduced pursuant to the
         preceding sentence of this Section and the amount of interest
         payable for its account in respect of any subsequent interest
         computation period, computed pursuant to applicable law and the
         Transaction Documents, would be less than the maximum amount
         permitted by applicable law to be charged, then the amount of
         interest payable to the Obligee in respect of such subsequent
         interest computation period shall be automatically increased to
         such maximum permissible amount; provided that at no time shall
         the aggregate amount by which interest paid had been increased
         pursuant to this sentence exceed the aggregate amount by which
         interest has theretofore been reduced pursuant to the preceding
         sentence of this Section.  

         SECTION 3.  COLLATERAL

              3.1  Liens in Subsidiary Stock, Contract Receivables, Real
         Property and Personal Property.  To secure the prompt payment
         of the Secured Obligations, together with all costs, expenses,


                                       -28-<PAGE>







         fees and other obligations payable by the Company or the Sub-
         sidiaries hereunder or under any Transaction Document with re-
         spect to the Secured Obligations, on or before the Issuance
         Date the Company shall grant, and shall cause each Subsidiary
         to grant, to Collateral Agent a continuing Lien, junior to the
         Lien created by, and securing the obligations of the Company
         and Subsidiaries under, the Foothill Loan Documents with re-
         spect to property of the Company and the Subsidiaries other
         than the SP Sub Collateral and senior to the Lien created by,
         and securing the obligations of the Company and Subsidiaries
         under, the Foothill Loan Documents with respect to SP Sub Col-
         lateral, in and to all of the following property and interests
         in property of the Company and the Subsidiaries, except the
         Excluded Property, whether now owned or existing or hereafter
         acquired or arising, or in which the Company and the Subsidiar-
         ies now or hereafter have any rights, and wheresoever located,
         and all proceeds thereof ("Collateral"):

                   (a)  the Subsidiary Stock;

                   (b)  the Homesite Contracts Receivable;

                   (c)  the Commercial Receivables;

                   (d)  the Real Property; and

                   (e)  the Personal Property.

         At such times as any Excluded Property is freed of contractual
         or legal restrictions against becoming subject to a Lien to
         secure the Secured Obligations or upon the distribution of any
         Trust Property to the Company or a Subsidiary (including an
         Unrestricted Subsidiary or Joint Venture), such property shall,
         automatically, become subject to the Liens created by the Secu-
         rity Documents, and the Company shall notify the Obligee in
         writing of such event and take such further actions as may be
         required by the Obligee and/or Collateral Agent to evidence and
         perfect such Liens; provided that, in no event, shall a Lien be
         granted on any assets required to be placed in a Reserve Ac-
         count pursuant to the Reorganization Plan or the Homesite Pro-
         gram.

         for the holders of the Foothill Debt, shall cause such agent to
         acknowledge that it is holding such Collateral for the benefit
         of the Obligee as well as the holders of the Foothill Debt) to
         Collateral Agent any Collateral if the perfection of a Lien
         against such Collateral requires possession thereof for pur-
         poses of perfecting such Liens, all at the cost and expense of
         the Company.  Specifically, but without limiting the generality
         of the foregoing, on or before the Issuance Date the Company

         law, accompanied by ALTA title insurance policies insuring the
         Obligee's Lien represented thereby, and, if requested by the
         Obligee, surveys of such Real Property.

                   (d)  Joint Venture Pledge.  To evidence and perfect

                        (i)  with respect to any Investment or Bank Ac-
              count which is or becomes evidenced by an agreement, in-
              strument, certificate or document, including promissory
              notes, stock certificates, bonds, debentures, securities
              and certificates of deposit, the Company shall from time
              to time deliver, or shall from time to time cause such
              Subsidiary to deliver, the original thereof to the Col-
              lateral Agent, together with appropriate assignments and
              endorsements or other specific evidence of assignment
              thereof to the Collateral Agent, in form and substance
              acceptable to the Collateral Agent;

                       (ii)  with respect to any Investment or Bank Ac-
              count which is not certificated or otherwise evidenced as
              described in clause (i) above, including uncertificated
              securities and depository and other accounts maintained
              with financial institutions and any other Persons, the
              Company shall notify the Obligee thereof and take, or
              cause such Subsidiary to take, any and all steps which are
              required by the Obligee for purposes of perfecting the
              Collateral Agent's Lien therein;

                      (iii)  the Company shall keep the Obligee informed
              of any and all Bank Accounts maintained by the Company or
              any such Subsidiary with any financial institution or
              other Person and, if requested by the Obligee, the Company


                                       -31-<PAGE>







              or any such Subsidiary shall execute a cash collateral
              account agreement in form and substance satisfactory to
              the Obligee, pursuant to which the Lien of Collateral
              Agent in such Bank Accounts is perfected and preserved;
              and

                       (iv)  if deemed by the Obligee, in its sole dis-
              cretion, to be necessary for purposes of perfecting the
              Lien of the Collateral Agent in any Bank Account, the Com-
              pany shall transfer to and maintain in a cash collateral
              account, and shall cause the Subsidiaries to transfer to
              and maintain in a cash collateral account, the funds in
              each such Bank Account and, if deemed necessary by the
              Obligee, shall execute and cause any such Subsidiary to
              execute a cash collateral account agreement in form and
              substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent,
              pursuant to which the Lien of Collateral Agent in such
              Bank Account shall be perfected and preserved; provided,
              however, the Company shall not be required to deposit the
              residual, remainder or beneficial interest of the Company
              and any such Subsidiary in the Reserve Accounts, the
              Claims Disbursement Accounts and other escrow, restricted,
              custodial and fiduciary accounts until such time as all
              amounts required to be disbursed to the intended benefi-
              ciaries thereof have been disbursed and the residual or
              remainder is available to the Company and its Subsidiaries
              for deposit in an unrestricted account.

                   (f)  Additional Acts.  The Company shall, and shall
         cause the Subsidiaries to, take all actions and execute all
         documents deemed necessary by the Obligee or Collateral Agent
         to ensure that, upon the issuance of the Secured Instrument,
         the Obligee or Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the
         Obligee, shall have a security interest in the Collateral
         granted by the Security Documents (a) junior only to the Liens
         thereon established under the Foothill Loan Documents in the
         case of Collateral other than SP Sub Collateral and (b) senior
         to all Liens thereon, including the Liens thereon established
         under the Foothill Loan Documents, in the case of SP Sub
         Collateral.  If the perfection or recordation of Collateral
         Agent's Lien or the Lien of the Obligee pursuant hereto upon
         any Collateral acquired hereafter by the Company or any
         Subsidiary requires any additional act of possession or filing
         or recordation of any Security Document, the Company shall
         notify the Obligee of the acquisition of such Collateral and,
         at the Obligee's request, the Company shall execute and deliver
         and shall cause the Subsidiaries to execute and deliver such
         Security Documents for filing or recordation and deliver such
         items of Collateral as Collateral Agent or the Obligee may
         reasonably request for purposes thereof and the Company shall


                                       -32-<PAGE>







         pay the cost of preparing any such Security Documents and the
         filing and recordation thereof.  Without limiting the
         generality of the foregoing, the Company agrees to, and to
         cause each Subsidiary (other than with respect to property re-
         quired to be released pursuant to Section 3.6) to notify the
         Obligee upon the acquisition of any Real Property acquired
         after the date hereof, except as provided by Section 3.6, and
         upon request of the Obligee, to provide to the Obligee an
         appraisal and an environmental report (each in form and
         substance satisfactory to the Obligee) covering such property,
         and to cause such Real Property to be subjected to a Mortgage
         or Deed of Trust in favor of Collateral Agent for the benefit
         of Obligee.  With respect to any such Mortgages or Deed of
         Trust, the Company or such Subsidiary shall deliver to the
         Obligee the following, all in form and substance satisfactory
         to the Obligee:  (i) executed Mortgages or Deed of Trust and
         financing statements encumbering such property and (ii) ALTA
         lenders' extended coverage policies of title insurance on such
         property, in liability, amount and form and issued by a title
         company satisfactory to the Obligee showing the Mortgage or
         Deed of Trust as a perfected lien upon the property, subject
         only to Liens permitted pursuant to Section 7.3 and such other
         exceptions as may be approved by the Obligee in writing,
         together with endorsements reasonably required by the Obligee
         and affirmative assurances that the improvements are wholly
         located within the boundaries of the insured land.

              3.3  Section 365(j) Property.  Pursuant to the Reorganiza-
         tion Plan and the Confirmation Order, the Company has desig-
         nated the property which comprises the Section 365(j) Property,
         which property, at the time of execution of the mortgage encum-
         bering the Section 365(j) Property in favor of the trustee for
         the holders of Section 365(j) Liens, had a value, as appraised
         pursuant to the Company's land plan book dated May, 1991, no
         greater than 120% of the value of the Section 365(j) Liens es-
         tablished pursuant to the Reorganization Plan.  The Liens
         granted to Collateral Agent pursuant hereto in the Section
         365(j) Property are subordinate to the Liens of the Section
         365(j) Liens and Collateral Agent shall not be permitted to
         exercise its rights or remedies of foreclosure against such
         property or exercise any other rights with respect to such
         property until such time as the Section 365(j) Liens have been
         satisfied or have been transferred to other property acceptable
         to the Bankruptcy Court.

              3.5  Subordinations and Releases of Mortgage and Related
         Personal Property Liens.

                   (a)  [intentionally omitted]

                   (b)  Except with respect to SP Sub Collateral, at
         such times as Liens are granted by the Company or any Subsid-
         iary, as permitted pursuant to Section 7.3(n), so long as no
         Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or
         would result therefrom, and provided the Obligee has received a
         certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying and demonstrat-
         ing that all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(n) have
         been satisfied, the Obligee shall instruct Collateral Agent to
         and Collateral Agent shall execute documentation subordinating
         the Lien of the Mortgages to such Liens, in form and substance
         satisfactory to the Obligee and Collateral Agent, unless such
         Real Property qualifies for the release provisions in Section
         3.5(c), in which event the provisions of Section 3.5(c) shall
         apply.

                   (c)  Except with respect to SP Sub Collateral, at
         such time as Liens are granted by any Subsidiary, as permitted
         by Section 7.3(n), so long as no Default or Event of Default
         has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, and
         provided the Obligee has received a certificate of a
         Responsible Officer certifying and demonstrating that all of
         the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(n) have been satisfied,
         the Obligee shall instruct Collateral Agent to and Collateral
         Agent shall release the Lien of the Mortgages on any Subsidiary
         Property Under Development if (i)(x) such Real Property is
         financed under the acquisition and project financing provisions
         of Sections 7.2(f) or 7.2(j), and (y) the terms of such
         financing prohibit subordinate Liens upon such Real Property,
         or (ii) such Real Property is contributed by the Company to a
         Subsidiary pursuant to Section 7.8(g).  The Company shall use
         reasonable efforts to cause any lender/seller providing the
         acquisition and/or project financing on Subsidiary Property
         Under Development to permit the subordination of Collateral
         Agent's Liens on such Subsidiary Property Under Development,
         and thereby to eliminate the need for Collateral Agent to
         release its Liens on such Subsidiary Property Under
         Development.  In connection with the release of any Liens on
         Subsidiary Property Under Development pursuant to this Section
         3.5(c), upon the request of the Company, the Obligee shall
         instruct Collateral Agent to, and Collateral Agent shall, re-
         lease any Liens upon any Personal Property related to, and in-
         tegral to the use of, the Real Property being released; pro-
         vided that the Company provides a detailed list of such Per-
         sonal Property to be released in form and substance satisfac-
         tory to the Obligee.  If such lender/seller will permit such


                                       -34-<PAGE>







         subordination, then, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
         of this Section 3.5(c), Collateral Agents's Liens on such
         Subsidiary Property Under Development will not be released and
         will become subordinate Liens pursuant to documentation in form
         and substance satisfactory to the Obligee.

                   (d)  [intentionally omitted]

              3.6  Subsidiary Guaranties.  The Company shall not create
         or acquire any Subsidiary after the date hereof and prior to
         July 1, 1997.  The Company shall cause any entity becoming a
         Subsidiary after July 1, 1997 to execute and deliver guarantees
         in the form of the Subsidiary Guaranties and counterparts of
         the Transaction Documents to which Subsidiaries of the Company
         are parties (other than the Secured Instrument, the Secured
         Agreement and the initial Mortgages recorded in Florida), and
         to take all such steps as shall be necessary to create in favor
         of the Collateral Agent duly perfected and recorded Liens
         securing the Secured Obligations including by executing and
         delivering additional Security Documents in substantially the
         form of the Security Documents.  In the case of any subsequent
         Florida Mortgages executed by such subsequent Subsidiaries to
         secure their obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranties, the
         amount of recovery under such subsequent Mortgages shall be
         limited to an amount not greater than the value of the
         respective additional mortgaged property.  

                   3.7  Special Purpose Subsidiary.  Without the express
         prior written consent of Obligee, Special Purpose Subsidiary
         shall not, and the Company shall not permit Special Purpose
         Subsidiary (which term, as used in this Agreement, includes
         Special Purpose Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries) to, directly
         or indirectly:

                   (a)  create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any
                        Indebtedness, other than Indebtedness under the
                        Transaction Documents and, on a basis subordi-
                        nate to the Indebtedness under the Transaction
                        Documents consistent with the Intercreditor
                        Agreement, Indebtedness permitted by Section
                        7.2(b);

                   (b)  create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any
                        Lien upon the Capital Stock of Special Purpose
                        Subsidiary or upon any of the property, assets
                        or revenues of Special Purpose Subsidiary,
                        whether now owned or hereafter acquired, other
                        than Liens under the Transaction Documents and,
                        on a basis subordinate to the Indebtedness under
                        the Transaction Documents consistent with the


                                       -35-<PAGE>







                        Intercreditor Agreement, Liens securing Indebt-
                        edness permitted by Section 7.2(b);

                   (c)  create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any
                        Guarantee Obligation, other than Guarantee Obli-
                        gations under the Transaction Documents and, on
                        a basis subordinate to the Guarantee Obligations
                        under the Transaction Documents consistent with
                        the Intercreditor Agreement, Guarantee Obliga-
                        tions in respect of Indebtedness permitted by
                        Section 7.2(b);

                   (d)  except to the extent such merger, consolidation
                        or amalgamation is of a Subsidiary of Special
                        Purpose Subsidiary with and into Special Purpose
                        Subsidiary, or between or among wholly owned
                        Subsidiaries of Special Purpose Subsidiary, en-
                        ter into any merger, consolidation or amalgam-
                        ation, or liquidate, wind up or dissolve itself
                        (or suffer any liquidation or dissolution), or
                        convey, sell, lease, assign, transfer or other-
                        wise dispose of, all or substantially all of its
                        property, business or assets;

                   (e)  except as expressly approved by the Board of
                        Directors of the Company in connection with a
                        Board-approved real estate development project,

                        quired;

                   (m)  own any assets or properties (including cash,
                        Cash Equivalents and Investments) on which
                        Obligee does not have a perfected first lien
                        pursuant to the Security Documents; or

                   (n)  create or permit to exist any Subsidiary.

         SECTION 4.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

              The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Obligee
         that:

              4.1  Financial Condition.

                   (a)  The consolidated balance sheets of the Company
         and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 1996 and
         the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows
         for the fiscal year ended on such date, reported on by Ernst &
         Young, a copy of which has been furnished to the Obligee,
         fairly and accurately present the consolidated financial
         condition of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as
         at such date, and the consolidated results of their operations
         and their consolidated cash flows for the fiscal year then
         ended.

                   (b)  In the event the Issuance Date occurs after
         May 15, 1997:  The unaudited consolidated balance sheets of the
         Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at March 31, 1997,
         and the related consolidated statements of income and cash
         flows for the three months then ended, a copy of which has been
         delivered to the Obligee, fairly and accurately presents the
         consolidated financial condition of the Company and its con-
         solidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated
         results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows
         for the three months, then ended (subject to normal year-end
         adjustments) and a Responsible Officer has so certified to the
         Obligee.

                   (c)  All such financial statements described in
         clauses (a) and (b) above, including the related schedules and
         notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP ap-
         plied consistently throughout the periods involved (except for
         such inconsistencies as approved by such accountants or Respon-
         sible Officer, as the case may be, and as disclosed therein).
         Neither the Company nor any of its consolidated Subsidiaries
         had, at the date of the most recent balance sheet referred to
         above, any material Guarantee Obligation, contingent liability


                                       -38-<PAGE>







         or liability for taxes, or any long-term lease or unusual for-
         ward or long-term commitment, including any interest rate or
         foreign currency swap or exchange transaction, which is not
         reflected in the foregoing statements or in the notes thereto
         or in Schedule 4.1.  Since December 31, 1996, there has been no
         sale, transfer or other disposition or agreement therefor by
         the Company or any of its consolidated Subsidiaries of any ma-
         terial part of its business or property and no purchase or
         other acquisition of any business or property (including any
         capital stock of any other Person) which is material in rela-
         tion to the consolidated financial condition of the Company and
         its consolidated Subsidiaries at December 31, 1996, except as
         described in Schedule 4.1 or consented to in writing by the
         Obligee in its sole discretion.

                   (d)  The three-year Management Business Plan update
         for the period 1996-1998 delivered to the Obligee prior to the
         date hereof (i) was prepared in good faith upon assumptions
         believed by the Company to be reasonable, it being understood
         that the projections therein contained as to future events are
         subject to certain uncertainties and contingencies which are
         beyond the control of the Company and may be significant, and
         thus no assurance can be given that such projections will be
         realized, and (ii) presents fairly, in all material respects,
         the actual results of operations of the Company and Subsidiar-
         ies for the period from January 1, 1996 through the date
         thereof, in accordance with GAAP, subject to recurring year-end
         audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes.  

              4.2  No Material Adverse Change.  Since December 31, 1996,
         (a) there has been no development or event nor any prospective
         development or event, which has had or could reasonably be ex-
         pected to have a Material Adverse Effect, except such devel-
         opments or events or prospective developments or events as have
         been disclosed by the Company in filings with the Securities
         and Exchange Commission made prior to the date hereof and true
         and correct copies of which have been delivered to the Obligee
         or as set forth on Schedule 4.2, and (b) no dividends or other
         distributions have been declared, paid or made upon the Capital
         Stock of the Company nor has any of the Capital Stock of the
         Company been redeemed, retired, purchased or otherwise acquired
         for value by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  As of the
         date hereof and the Issuance Date, no motion for the conversion
         of the case, appointment of a trustee, or dismissal is pending
         or has been denied, the reversal of which on appeal would af-
         fect the validity of this Agreement and no appeal has been
         taken from the entry of the Confirmation Order in the Reorgani-
         zation Proceedings, the reversal, modification, or affirmance
         of which will affect the validity or enforceability, or change



                                       -39-<PAGE>







         the provisions, of this Agreement or any other Transaction Doc-
         ument.

              4.3  Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law.  Each of
         the Company and its Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly
         existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdic-
         tion of its organization, except, in the case of any such Sub-
         sidiary, where all such failures to be in good standing are not
         reasonably likely, in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse
         Effect, (b) has the corporate power and authority, and the le-
         gal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the prop-
         erty it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which

         corporation and in good standing under the laws of each juris-
         diction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or
         the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except
         to the extent that all such failures to be so qualified and in
         good standing are not reasonably likely, in the aggregate, to
         have a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) is in compliance with
         all Requirements of Law except to the extent that any failures
         to comply therewith is not reasonably likely, in the aggregate,
         to have a Material Adverse Effect.

              4.4  Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obliga-
         tions.

                   (a)  The Company.  The Company has the corporate
         power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and
         perform this Agreement, the Secured Instrument and other
         Transaction Documents, and has taken all necessary corporate
         action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of
         this Agreement, the Secured Instrument and the other
         Transaction Documents including the issuance of the Preferred
         Stock and the Initial Warrants.  Except as set forth on
         Schedule 4.4, no consent or authorization of, filing with or
         other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or
         any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings
         hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance,
         validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Secured
         Instrument or the other Transaction Documents, except such
         consents, authorizations, filings or other acts as have been
         obtained, made or performed, as the case may be, and as remain
         in full force and effect.  This Agreement and the other
         Transaction Documents to which the Company is party have been
         or will be, duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Com-
         pany.  This Agreement, and each other Transaction Document
         executed and delivered constitutes, or when executed and deliv-
         ered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of
         the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with



                                       -40-<PAGE>







         its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by appli-
         cable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or
         similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors rights gen-
         erally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement
         is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

                   (b)  Subsidiaries.  Each of the Subsidiaries (includ-
         ing Unrestricted Subsidiaries) party to the Transaction Docu-
         ments has the corporate power and authority, and the legal
         right, to make, deliver and perform the Transaction Documents
         to which it is a party and has taken all necessary corporate
         action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of
         the Transaction Documents to which it is a party.  Except as
         set forth on Schedule 4.4, no consent or authorization of, fil-
         ing with or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental
         Authority or any other Person is required in connection with
         the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceabil-
         ity of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, except
         such consents, authorizations, filings or other acts as have
         been obtained, made or performed, as the case may be, and as
         remain in full force and effect.  Each Transaction Document to
         which any Subsidiary (including Unrestricted Subsidiaries) is a
         party has been or will be duly executed and delivered on behalf
         of each such Subsidiary.  Each Transaction Document to which
         any Subsidiary (including Unrestricted Subsidiaries) is a
         party, executed and delivered constitutes, or when executed and
         delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obliga-
         tion of each such Subsidiary, enforceable against each such
         Subsidiary in accordance with its terms, except as enforce-
         ability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting the en-
         forcement of creditors rights generally and by general equi-
         table principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings
         in equity or at law).

              4.5  No Legal Bar.  The execution, delivery and perfor-
         mance of this Agreement, the Secured Instrument and the other
         Transaction Documents, and the use of the proceeds of the
         Secured Instruments will not violate (i) any Requirement of Law
         or (ii) except as disclosed on Schedule 4.5 hereto, any
         material Contractual Obligation of the Company or of any of its
         Subsidiaries or Unrestricted Subsidiaries and will not result
         in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any
         of its or their respective properties or revenues pursuant to
         any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation.

              4.6  No Material Litigation.  No litigation, investigation
         or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Au-
         thority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threat-
         ened by or against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or


                                       -41-<PAGE>







         against any of its or their respective properties or revenues
         (a) with respect to this Agreement, the Secured Instrument or
         other Transaction Documents or any of the transactions
         contemplated hereby or thereby or (b) which is reasonably
         likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, which has not been
         disclosed (including, estimates of the Dollar amounts involved)
         in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
         Commission made prior to the date hereof, true and correct
         copies of which have been delivered to the Obligee or on
         Schedule 4.6 hereto.

              4.7  No Default.  Neither the Company nor any of its Sub-
         sidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its
         Contractual Obligations in any respect which is reasonably
         likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, except as disclosed,
         including estimates of the Dollar amounts involved, in the Com-
         pany's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission made
         prior to the date hereof, true and correct copies of which have
         been delivered to the Obligee or on Schedule 4.7.  No Default
         or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  No default
         has occurred and is continuing under any of the Foothill Loan
         Documents or the indenture governing the Unsecured Cash Flow
         Notes.

              4.8  Ownership of Property; Liens.  Each of the Company
         and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, has good record and
         marketable title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold inter-
         est in, all of the Collateral and all its other real property,
         and good title to all its other property necessary for the op-
         eration of its business, and none of such property of the Com-
         pany or such Subsidiaries is subject to any Lien except as per-
         mitted by Section 7.3.  To the best knowledge of the Company,
         after diligent inquiry, the Collateral includes all property of
         the Company and its Subsidiaries that is not Excluded Property.  

              4.9  Intellectual Property.  The Company and each of its
         Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks,
         tradenames, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes nec-
         essary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted
         except for those the failure to own or license which is not
         reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect (the "In-
         tellectual Property").  No claim has been asserted and is pend-
         ing by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any
         such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of
         any such Intellectual Property, nor does the Company know of
         any valid basis for any such claim.  The use of such Intel-
         lectual Property by the Company and its Subsidiaries does not
         infringe on the rights of any Person, except for such claims
         and infringements that, in the aggregate, do not have a Mate-
         rial Adverse Effect.  To the knowledge of the Company, there


                                       -42-<PAGE>







         exists no infringement upon the Intellectual Property rights of
         the Company and Subsidiaries by any other Person.

              4.10  Taxes.  Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries
         (including Unrestricted Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures) has
         filed or caused to be filed all tax returns which, to the
         knowledge of the Company, are required to be filed and has paid
         all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any
         assessments made against it or any of its property and all
         other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its
         property by any Governmental Authority (other than any taxes,
         fees or other charges the amount or validity of which are cur-
         rently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
         and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have
         been provided on the books of the Company or its Subsidiaries
         (including Unrestricted Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures), as
         the case may be) except tax claims which are to be paid on a
         deferred basis pursuant to the Reorganization Plan; no tax Lien
         has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the Company, no claim
         is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other
         charge, except as disclosed on Schedule 4.10.

              4.11  Federal Regulations.  No part of the proceeds of the
         Secured Instrument will be used for "purchasing" or "carrying"
         any "margin stock" within the respective meanings of each of
         the quoted terms under Regulation G, T, U or X of the Board of
         Governors of the Federal Reserve System as now and from time to
         time hereafter in effect or for any purpose which violates the
         provisions of the Regulations of such Board of Governors.

              4.12  ERISA.  Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.12 or by
         letter to the Obligee referring to this Section 4.12 delivered
         on or prior to the date hereof in accordance with Section
         6.7(d), no Reportable Event has occurred during the five-year
         period prior to the date on which this representation is made
         or deemed made with respect to any Plan.  The Company and each
         Commonly Controlled Entity are in substantial compliance with
         the applicable provisions of ERISA with respect to each Plan.
         The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single
         Employer Plan (based on the reasonable assumptions used by the
         independent actuary for such Plan for purposes of establishing
         the minimum funding requirements under Section 412 of the Code)
         did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date
         on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the
         value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued ben-
         efits, individually or in the aggregate for all Single Employer
         Plans (excluding for purposes of such computation any Single
         Employer Plans with respect to which the value of the assets
         exceed the present value of the accrued benefits), by more than
         $4,600,000.   Neither the Company nor any Commonly Controlled


                                       -43-<PAGE>







         Entity is liable under Title IV of ERISA by reason of the ter-
         mination of a Single Employer Plan or the withdrawal from a
         Single Employer Plan in which it was a "substantial employer"
         within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(2) of ERISA.  Each Plan
         intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, in-
         cluding each Single Employer Plan, is qualified in operation
         under Section 401(a) of the Code and is qualified in form under
         Section 401(a) of the Code, except with respect to any required
         amendments with respect to which the remedial amendment period
         under Section 401(b) of the Code has not expired.  Neither the
         Company nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete
         or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan and neither
         the Company nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become
         subject to any liability under ERISA if the Company or any such
         Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw from all Multiem-
         ployer Plans in complete withdrawals within the meaning of Sec-
         tion 4203 of ERISA as of the valuation dates for such plans
         most closely preceding the date on which this representation is
         made or deemed made.  No Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganiza-
         tion or Insolvent.  Neither the Company nor any Commonly Con-
         trolled Entity is liable for fines, penalties, taxes or related
         charges under Chapter 43 of the Code or under Sections 409,
         502(c), 502(i), 502(1) or 4071 of ERISA in an amount exceeding
         $50,000 in the aggregate at any time.  There are no material
         claims (other than routine claims for benefits) against any
         Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) or against the Company
         or any Commonly Controlled Entity in connection with any such
         Plan.  Neither the Company nor any Commonly Controlled Entity
         is liable for post retirement benefits to be provided to their
         current and former employees under Plans which are welfare ben-
         efit plans (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) except as re-
         quired by Section 4980B of the Code and Section 601 of ERISA.

              4.13  Investment Company Act; Other Regulations.  The Com-
         pany is not an "investment company," or a company "controlled"
         by an "investment company," within the meaning of the Invest-
         ment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  The Company is not sub-
         ject to regulation under any Federal or state statute or regu-
         lation which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

              4.14  Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures.  The Subsidiaries
         listed on Schedule 4.14(A) constitute all of the Subsidiaries
         and such schedule identifies the shareholders of such Subsid-
         iary, the Joint Ventures listed on Schedule 4.14(B) constitute
         all of the Joint Ventures and such schedule identifies all own-
         ers of the Joint Venture interests thereof and the percentage
         equity ownership of such owners, and neither the Company nor
         any Subsidiary other than a Venture Subsidiary owns any Joint
         Venture interest.

         nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of the Joint Ventures has

         ronmental Law nor have there been any treatment, storage or
         disposal operations on any of the Total Real Property requiring
         any approval or permit from any Governmental Authority.  Nei-

                    (e)  There are no governmental or administrative
         actions or judicial proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of

         SECTION 9.  THE COLLATERAL AGENT

              9.1   [intentionally omitted]

              9.2   Appointment of Collateral Agent.  The Obligee hereby
         irrevocably designates and appoints each of The Bank of New
         York and Foothill Capital Corporation as Collateral Agent under
         this Agreement and the Security Documents to which the
         Collateral Agent is a party with respect to the SP Sub
         Collateral and the Collateral other than SP Sub Collateral,
         respectively, and the Collateral Agent hereby accepts such ap-
         pointment, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agree-
         ment, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents to
         which it is a party.  The Obligee hereby further authorizes and
         directs Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents,
         the Intercreditor Agreement and all other documents, consents,
         joinders, acknowledgments and other written matter to be exe-
         cuted and delivered by Collateral Agent on the Issuance Date
         and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof.  The Obligee ir-
         revocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, as Collateral Agent
         for the Obligee, to take such action on its behalf under the
         provisions of this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and
         the Security Documents to which Collateral Agent is a party,
         and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are ex-
         pressly delegated to Collateral Agent by the terms of this
         Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Doc-
         uments to which it is a party, together with such other powers
         as are reasonably incidental thereto; provided that Collateral
         Agent shall not enter into any consent to any amendment, modi-
         fication, termination or waiver of any provision contained in


                                       -78-<PAGE>







         this Agreement or any Security Document to which it is party
         without the prior written consent of the Obligee.  The Obligee
         hereby authorizes Collateral Agent to release Collateral only
         as expressly permitted or required under this Agreement, the
         Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents and agrees
         that a certificate executed by Collateral Agent evidencing such
         release of Collateral shall be conclusive evidence of such
         release to any third party.  Collateral Agent shall not
         subordinate or release any Liens under any of the Security
         Documents except as provided in this Agreement, the
         Intercreditor Agreement or upon the written direction of the
         Obligee.  All notices and directions to Collateral Agent shall
         be given in writing by the Obligee.

              9.3   [intentionally omitted]

              9.4   Delegation of Duties.  Collateral Agent may execute
         any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Secured
         Instrument Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact
         and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all
         matters pertaining to such duties.  Collateral Agent shall not
         be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents
         or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.  Not-
         withstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this
         Agreement, Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or re-
         sponsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any
         fiduciary relationship with the Obligee, and no implied cov-
         enants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
         liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Se-
         cured Instrument Document or otherwise exist against Collateral
         Agent; and Collateral Agent is acting hereunder and under the
         other Secured Note Documents solely as the collateral agent of
         the Obligee pursuant hereto and thereto, and Collateral Agent
         is not acting as trustee for the Obligee.

              9.5   Exculpatory Provisions.  Neither the Obligee, Col-
         lateral Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors,
         employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a)
         liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by
         it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or
         any other Transaction Document (except for its or such Persons
         own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible
         in any manner for any recitals, statements, representations or
         warranties made by the Company or any officer thereof contained
         in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or in any
         certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or
         provided for in, or received by the Obligee under or in connec-
         tion with, this Agreement or any other Secured Floating Rate
         Note Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genu-
         ineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or the


                                       -79-<PAGE>







         Secured Instrument or any other Transaction Document or for any
         failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder or
         thereunder.  Neither the Obligee nor Collateral Agent shall be
         under any obligation to ascertain or to inquire as to the
         observance or performance of any of the agreements contained
         in, or conditions to, this Agreement or any other Transaction
         Document or as to the use of proceeds of the Secured Instrument
         or the Investment Agreement or of the existence or possible
         existence of a Default or Event of Default, or to inspect the
         properties, books or records of the Company.  

              9.6   Reliance by the Obligee.

                    (a)  Each of the Obligee and Collateral Agent shall
         be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying,
         upon any Secured Instrument, writing, resolution, notice,
         consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram,
         telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other
         document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and
         correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper
         Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal
         counsel (including counsel to the Company), independent
         accountants and other experts selected by the Obligee or
         Collateral Agent, as the case may be.  

                    (b)  Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in
         failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or
         any other Transaction Document unless (i) it shall first re-
         ceive such advice or concurrence as it deems appropriate from
         the Obligee, or (ii) it shall first be indemnified to its
         satisfaction by the Obligee against any and all liability and
         expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
         continuing to take any such action, except in the case of
         Collateral Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
         Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in
         acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement, the
         Secured Instrument and the other Transaction Documents in
         accordance with a request of the Obligee and such request and
         any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be
         binding upon the Obligee and all future holders of the Secured
         Instrument.

              9.7   Notice of Default.  Neither the Obligee nor Collat-
         eral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
         occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the
         Obligee or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, has received
         notice from the Obligee (in the case of Collateral Agent) or
         the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such
         Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a
         "notice of default."  If the Obligee receives such a notice,


                                       -80-<PAGE>







         the Obligee shall promptly give notice thereof to Collateral
         Agent.  If Collateral Agent receives such a notice, Collateral
         Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Obligee.
         Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such
         Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Obligee
         (subject to the provisions of Section 9.6(b)); provided that
         unless and until Collateral Agent shall have received such
         directions, Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated
         to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with
         respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem
         advisable in the best interests of the Obligee.

              9.8   Non-Reliance on Collateral Agent.  The Obligee ex-
         pressly acknowledges that neither Collateral Agent nor any of
         its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact
         or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it
         and that no act by Collateral Agent hereinafter taken, includ-
         ing any review of the affairs of the Company or any of its Sub-
         sidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or
         warranty by Collateral Agent to the Obligee.  The Obligee
         represents to Collateral Agent that it has, independently and
         without reliance upon Collateral Agent, and based on such
         documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
         its own appraisal of and investigation into the business,
         operations, property, financial and other condition and
         creditworthiness of the Company and its Subsidiaries and made
         its own decision to enter into this Agreement.  The Obligee
         also represents that it will, independently and without
         reliance upon Collateral Agent, and based on such documents and
         information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue
         to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in
         taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other
         Transaction Documents, and to make such investigation as it
         deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
         operations, property, financial and other condition and
         creditworthiness of the Company and its Subsidiaries.  Except
         for the notices, reports and other documents expressly required
         to be furnished by the Collateral Agent to the Obligee
         hereunder, if any, Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or
         responsibility to provide the Obligee with any credit or other
         information concerning the business, operations, property,
         condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or
         creditworthiness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
         which may come into the possession of Collateral Agent or any
         of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-
         fact or Affiliates.

              9.9   Indemnification.  The Obligee agrees to indemnify
         Collateral Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not
         reimbursed by the Company and without limiting the obligation


                                       -81-<PAGE>







         of the Company to do so) from and against any and all liabili-
         ties, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judg-
         ments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
         whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time follow-
         ing the payment of the Secured Instrument) be imposed on,
         incurred by or asserted against Collateral Agent in any way
         relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other
         Transaction Documents or any documents contemplated by or
         referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated
         hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by Collateral
         Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing;
         provided that the Obligee shall not be liable for the payment
         of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
         damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses
         or disbursements resulting solely from Collateral Agent's gross
         negligence or willful misconduct.  The agreements in this
         Section shall survive the payment of the Secured Instrument and
         all other amounts payable hereunder.

              9.10  [intentionally omitted]

              9.11  [intentionally omitted]

              9.12  Successor Collateral Agent.  Collateral Agent may
         resign as Collateral Agent, upon 30 days' notice to the
         Obligee.  If Collateral Agent shall resign as Collateral Agent
         under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, then
         the Obligee shall appoint a successor collateral agent for the
         Obligee, which successor collateral agent, except if an Event
         of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be
         approved by the Company (which approval shall not be
         unreasonably withheld), whereupon, effective upon acceptance of
         its appointment as successor collateral agent, such successor
         collateral agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties
         of Collateral Agent and the term "Collateral Agent" shall mean
         such successor collateral agent, and the former Collateral
         Agent's rights, powers and duties as Collateral Agent shall be
         terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the
         part of such former Collateral Agent or any of the parties to
         this Agreement or any holder of the Secured Instrument.  If the
         Obligee fails to appoint a successor collateral agent for the
         Obligee as provided above within 30 days after the resignation
         of Collateral Agent, then Collateral Agent may appoint a
         successor collateral agent for the Obligee, which successor
         collateral agent, except if an Event of Default shall have
         occurred and be continuing, shall be approved by the Company
         (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), whereupon,
         effective upon acceptance of its appointment as successor
         collateral agent, such successor collateral agent shall succeed
         to the rights, powers and duties of Collateral Agent and the


                                       -82-<PAGE>







         term "Collateral Agent" shall mean such successor collateral
         agent and the former Collateral Agent's rights, powers and
         duties as Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall be
         terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the
         part of such former Collateral Agent or any of the parties to
         this Agreement or any holder of the Secured Instrument.  After
         any retiring Collateral Agent's resignation as Collateral
         Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure and survive
         to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken
         (or any matter related thereto) by it while it was Collateral
         Agent under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
         Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the
         resignation of Collateral Agent shall not be effective unless
         and until a successor collateral agent has been appointed and
         has accepted such appointment.

         SECTION 10.  MISCELLANEOUS

              10.1  Amendments and Waivers.  Neither this Agreement, the
         Secured Instrument, any other Transaction Document, nor any
         terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or
         modified except with the prior written consent of the Obligee.
         No such amendment, supplement or modification shall amend,
         modify or waive any provision of Section 9 without the written
         consent of then Collateral Agent affected thereby.  Any such
         waiver of a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the
         terms hereof and any such amendment, supplement or modification
         shall be binding upon the Company, the Obligee, Collateral
         Agent and all future holders of the Secured Instrument.  In the
         case of any waiver, the Company, the Obligee, and Collateral
         Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights
         hereunder and under the outstanding Secured Instrument and any
         other Transaction Documents, and any Default or Event of
         Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing;
         but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
         Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent
         thereon.

              10.2  Notices.  All notices, requests and demands to or
         upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in

         initions.

         any and all other stamp, excise and other taxes (other than any
         taxes which are determined based solely upon the income or rev-
         enues of the Obligee or Collateral Agent), if any, which may be
         payable or determined to be payable in connection with the
         execution and delivery of, or consummation of any of the

         the other Transaction Documents, and any such other documents
         (all the foregoing, collectively, the "indemnified

         respect to indemnified liabilities arising from (i) the gross
         negligence or willful misconduct of Collateral Agent or the

         proceedings commenced against the Obligee by any Transferee (as

         to the benefit of the Company, the Obligee, Collateral Agent,
         all future holders of the Secured Instrument and their
         respective successors and assigns, except that the Company may
         not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under
         this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents without the
         prior written consent of the Obligee.

                    (b)  Subject to Sections 10.6(h) and (k), the
         Obligee may at any time sell to one or more banks or other
         entities ("Participants") participating interests in the
         Secured Instrument or any other interest of the Obligee
         hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents.  In the
         event of any such sale by the Obligee of participating
         interests to a Participant, the Obligee's obligations under
         this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall
         remain unchanged, the Obligee shall remain solely responsible
         for the performance thereof, the Obligee shall remain the
         holder of its Secured Instrument for all purposes under this
         Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and the Company
         and Collateral Agent shall continue to deal solely, and di-
         rectly, with the Obligee in connection with the Obligee's
         rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other
         Transaction Documents.  The Company agrees that if amounts
         outstanding under this Agreement and the Secured Instrument are
         due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become
         due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
         each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in


                                       -87-<PAGE>







         respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under
         this Agreement and the Secured Instrument to the same extent as
         if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly
         to it as the Obligee under this Agreement or the Secured
         Instrument, provided that such Participant shall only be
         entitled to such right of setoff if it shall have agreed in the
         agreement pursuant to which it shall have acquired its
         participating interest to share with the Obligee the proceeds
         thereof as provided in Section 10.7.  The Company also agrees
         that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
         Sections 2.7, 2.9 and 10.5 with respect to its participation in
         the Secured Instrument outstanding from time to time; provided,
         that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater
         amount pursuant to such Sections than the transferor Obligee
         would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of
         the participation transferred by such transferor the Obligee to
         such Participant had no such transfer occurred.
         Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, participants
         shall not be entitled to require the Obligee to take or omit to
         take any action hereunder except with respect to amendments or
         waivers resulting in (i) the extension of the regularly
         scheduled maturity dates of any portion of a Secured Instrument
         in which such Participant is participating (it being understood
         that any waiver of an installment on, or the application of,
         any prepayment or the method of application of any prepayment
         to the amortization of the Secured Instruments shall not
         constitute an extension of the regularly scheduled maturity
         dates), (ii) a reduction of the amount of, or the rate of
         interest or dividends, as applicable (except in connection with
         a waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in
         interest rates or dividends, as applicable, or margins) or fees
         payable on the Secured Instrument in which such participant is
         participating, or (iii) the release of all or substantially all
         of the Collateral or any Subsidiary Guaranty (except as
         otherwise expressly provided in the Transaction Documents).

                    (c)  Subject to Sections 10.6(h) and (k), the
         Obligee may at any time sell to any bank or other entity
         ("Purchasing Obligee") all or any part of its rights and
         obligations under this Agreement and the Secured Instrument and
         other Transaction Documents, whereupon (i) the Purchasing
         Obligee shall be a party hereto and have the rights and
         obligations of a Obligee hereunder and under the other
         Transaction Documents, and (ii) the transferor Obligee shall,
         to the extent of such transfer, be released from its
         obligations under this Agreement and under the other Trans-
         action Documents (and, in the case of a transfer covering all
         or the remaining portion of a transferor Obligee's rights and
         obligations under this Agreement and under the other Secured
         Instrument Documents, such transferor Obligee shall cease to be


                                       -88-<PAGE>







         a party hereto and thereto).  Such transfer shall be deemed to
         amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent,
         necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Obligee
         under this Agreement and the Secured Instrument and other
         Secured Instrument Documents.  On or prior to the transfer
         effective date, the Company, at its own expense, shall execute
         and deliver to the Obligee new Secured Instrument(s) to the
         order of such Purchasing Bank in an amount equal to the Secured
         Instrument or Secured Instrument portion acquired by it and, if
         the transferor Obligee has retained a portion of the Secured
         Instrument hereunder, new Secured Instrument(s) to the order of
         the transferor Obligee in an amount equal to the portion re-
         tained by it.  Such new Secured Instrument(s) shall be dated
         the same date as, and shall otherwise be in the form of, the
         Secured Instrument(s) replaced thereby.  The Secured
         Instrument(s) replaced by the new Secured Instrument(s), marked
         "renewed and replaced," shall be attached to the new Secured
         Instrument(s); and a copy thereof shall be sent to the Company.

                    (d)  [intentionally omitted]

                    (e)  [intentionally omitted]

                    (f)  Subject to Section 10.16, the Company autho-
         rizes the Obligee to disclose to any Participant or Purchasing
         Obligee (each, a "Transferee") and any prospective Transferee
         any and all information in the Obligee's possession concerning
         the Company and its Affiliates; provided, however, that such
         Transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of Sec-
         tion 10.16.

                    (g)  If, pursuant to this Section 10.6, any interest
         in this Agreement or any Secured Instrument is transferred to
         any Purchasing Obligee which is organized under the laws of any
         jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof,
         the Company will not be required to pay any increased
         withholding taxes of the United States or any political
         subdivision thereof unless, prior to the date of transfer, the
         transferor Obligee shall cause such Purchasing Obligee to
         comply with the requirements of Section 2.7.

                    (h)  [intentionally omitted]

                    (i)  Nothing herein shall prohibit any Obligee which
         is a bank from pledging or assigning any Secured Instrument to
         any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

                    (j)  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
         this Section 10.6, no holder of a Secured Instrument shall



                                       -89-<PAGE>







         transfer such Secured Instrument in a manner which would
         violate any Requirement of Law.

                    (k)  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
         this Section 10.6, the initial Obligee hereunder agrees not to
         sell or assign the Secured Instrument prior to the earliest of
         (a) the second anniversary of the Issuance Date, (b) the
         occurrence of an Event of Default and (c) a Negative
         Shareholder Vote.  

              10.7  Adjustments; Setoff.

                    (a)  If at any time when there is more than one
         Obligee any Obligee (a "Benefitted Obligee") shall at any time
         receive any payment of all or part of its Secured
         Instrument(s), or interest thereon, or receive any collateral
         in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by
         setoff, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature
         referred to in Section 8.1(i), or otherwise), in a greater
         proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by,
         any other Obligee, if any, in respect of such other Obligee's
         Secured Instrument(s), or interest thereon, or fees due to it
         hereunder, such Benefitted Obligee shall purchase for cash from
         the other Obligee such portion of each such other Obligee's
         Secured Instrument(s), or make such payment on account of such
         fees, or shall provide such other Obligee with the benefits of
         any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be
         necessary to cause such Benefitted Obligee to share the excess
         payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with
         each of the Obligees; provided, however, that if all or any
         portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter
         recovered from such Benefitted Obligee, such purchase shall be
         rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the
         extent of such recovery, but without interest.  The Company
         agrees, that each Obligee purchasing a portion of another
         Obligee's Secured Instrument(s) owing to it may exercise all
         rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of
         setoff) with respect to such portion as fully as if such
         Obligee were the direct holder of such portion.

                    (b)  In addition to any rights and remedies of the
         Obligee provided by law, each Obligee shall have the right,
         without prior notice to the Company, any such notice being ex-
         pressly waived by the Company to the extent permitted by ap-
         plicable law, upon any Secured Obligations becoming due
         (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise)
         to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any
         and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provi-
         sional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, in-
         debtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether


                                       -90-<PAGE>







         direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unma-
         tured, at any time held or owing by such Obligee to or for the
         credit or the account of the Company.  Each Obligee agrees
         promptly to notify the Company and each other Obligee after any
         such setoff and application made by such the Obligee, provided
         that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the va-
         lidity of such setoff and application.

              10.8  Appointment of the Obligee as the Company's Lawful
         Attorney.  The Company irrevocably designates, makes, consti-
         tutes and appoints the Obligee (and all Persons designated by
         the Obligee) as the Company's true and lawful attorney (and
         agent-in-fact) coupled with an interest, with the power to sign
         the name of the Company on any instruments, documents and
         agreements, including, without limitation, security agreements,
         pledge agreements, mortgages, and financing statements, as
         deemed by the Obligee as necessary or reasonably required by
         the Obligee to grant, perfect, maintain and continue the Liens
         in the Collateral or to monitor or administer the Secured
         Instrument, together with any and all amendments, modifica-
         tions, extensions, substitutions and renewals thereof and de-
         liver any of such instruments, documents and agreements to such
         persons as the Obligee, in its sole discretion, may elect, and
         in such event copies thereof shall be delivered to the Company.

              10.9  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by one
         or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of sepa-
         rate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together
         shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  A
         set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties
         shall be lodged with the Company and the Obligee.

              10.10  Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement
         which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall,
         as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
         prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the re-
         maining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unen-
         forceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
         unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

              10.11  Integration.  This Agreement, together with the
         other Transaction Documents represents the entire agreement of
         the Company, Collateral Agent and the Obligee and supersedes
         all prior agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof,
         and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or
         warranties by Collateral Agent or the Obligee relative to
         subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to
         herein or in the other Transaction Documents.

                    (c)  no joint venture exists between the Company and

              10.16  Confidentiality.  The Obligee agrees to take normal
         and reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain
         the confidentiality of all non-public information provided to

                                       -93-<PAGE>







         is determined by the Obligee to be necessary for the defense or
         protection of the Obligee's rights and/or interests.  The
         Obligee further agrees, upon receipt by the Obligee of a

         to so notify the Company.

         flict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and

         term means payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations
         including all redemption or repurchase obligations, principal,

         Contribution among Subsidiaries.  

                    (a)  Anything contained in this Agreement to the
         contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Subsidiary
         hereunder shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal
         to the largest amount that would not render its obligations
         hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or
         conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States
         Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state law
         (collectively, the "Fraudulent Transfer Laws"), in each case
         after giving effect to all other liabilities of such
         Subsidiary, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under
         the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however,
         any liabilities of such Subsidiary (i) in respect of
         intercompany indebtedness to Company or other affiliates of
         Company to the extent that such indebtedness would be
         discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such
         Subsidiary hereunder and (ii) under any guaranty of
         subordinated indebtedness which guaranty contains a limitation
         as to maximum amount similar to that set forth in this
         subsection 11.3(a), pursuant to which the liability of such
         Subsidiary hereunder is included in the liabilities taken into
         account in determining such maximum amount) and after giving
         effect as assets to the value (as determined under the ap-
         plicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any
         rights to subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or con-
         tribution of such Subsidiary pursuant to applicable law or pur-
         suant to any agreement.  

                    (b)  The Co-Makers under this Agreement and each
         guarantor under any Subsidiary Guaranty together desire to
         allocate among themselves (collectively, the "Contributing
         Parties"), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations
         arising under this Agreement and the Subsidiary Guaranties.
         Accordingly, if any payment or distribution is made on any date
         by any Co-Maker under this Agreement or a guarantor under a
         Subsidiary Guaranty (a "Funding Party") that exceeds its Fair
         Share (as defined below) as of such date, that Funding Party
         shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other
         Contributing Parties in the amount of such Contributing Party's
         Fair Share Shortfall (as defined below) as of such date, with
         the result that all such contributions will cause each
         Contributing Party's Aggregate Payments (as defined below) to
         equal its Fair Share as of such date.  "Fair Share" means, with
         respect to a Contributing Party as of any date of
         determination, an amount equal to (i) the ratio of (x) the
         Adjusted Maximum Amount (as defined below) with respect to such
         Contributing Party to (y) the aggregate of the Adjusted Maximum
         Amounts with respect to all Contributing Parties, multiplied by


                                       -95-<PAGE>







         (ii) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such
         date by all Funding Parties under this Agreement and the
         Subsidiary Guaranties in respect of the Secured Obligations.
         "Fair Share Shortfall" means, with respect to a Contributing
         Party as of any date of determination, the excess, if any, of
         the Fair Share of such Contributing Party over the Aggregate
         Payments of such Contributing Party.  "Adjusted Maximum Amount"
         means, with respect to a Contributing Party as of any date of
         determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations
         of such Contributing Party under this Agreement and the
         Subsidiary Guaranties, determined as of such date in accordance
         with subsection 11.3(a) or, if applicable, a similar provision
         in the Subsidiary Guaranties; provided that, solely for
         purposes of calculating the Adjusted Maximum Amount with
         respect to any Contributing Party for purposes of this
         subsection 11.3(b), any assets or liabilities of such
         Contributing Party arising by virtue of any rights to
         subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to
         or obligations of contribution hereunder or under any similar
         provision in a Subsidiary Guaranty shall not be considered as
         assets or liabilities of such Contributing Party.  "Aggregate
         Payments" means, with respect to a Contributing Party as of any
         date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the aggregate
         amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such
         date by such Contributing Party in respect of this Agreement
         and the Subsidiary Guaranties (including, without limitation,
         in respect of this subsection 11.3(b) or any similar provision
         contained in a Subsidiary Guaranty) minus (ii) the aggregate
         amount of all payments received on or before such date by such
         Contributing Party from the other Contributing Parties as
         contributions under this subsection 11.3(b) or any similar
         provision contained in any Subsidiary Guaranty.  The amounts
         payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of
         the date on which the related payment or distribution is made
         by the applicable Funding Party. The allocation among
         Contributing Parties of their obligations as set forth in this
         subsection 11.3(b) or any similar provision contained in a
         Subsidiary Guaranty shall not be construed in any way to limit
         the liability of any Contributing Party hereunder or under a
         Subsidiary Guaranty or to entitle any Funding Party or
         Contributing Party to fail or refuse to make a payment to
         Obligee otherwise required hereunder or under a Subsidiary
         Guaranty.  Without limiting the generality of the preceding
         sentence, the failure of any Funding Party to receive a
         contribution from Contributing Parties in the amount of their
         respective Fair Share Shortfalls shall not excuse payment by it
         of obligations to Obligee hereunder or under a Subsidiary
         Guarantee or constitute a defense or offset to payment of such
         obligations and no party shall pay its Fair Share Shortfall to
         a Funding Party before Obligee has received payment of all sums


                                       -96-<PAGE>







         due to it from such party.  Each Contributing Party under a
         Subsidiary Guaranty is a third-party beneficiary to the
         contribution agreement set forth in this subsection 11.3(b).
         The obligations of any party under a Subsidiary Guaranty are
         not secured by any Mortgages made by the Co-Makers and recorded
         in Florida, which Mortgages secure the direct obligations of
         the Co-Makers rather than guaranties of the obligations of
         others.

              11.4  Liability of Co-Makers Absolute.  Each Co-Maker
         agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, abso-
         lute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected
         by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable dis-
         charge of a co-maker other than indefeasible payment in full of
         the Secured Obligations.  In furtherance of the foregoing and
         without limiting the generality thereof, each Co-Maker agrees
         as follows:

                    (a)  The obligation of each Co-Maker is independent,
         primary and original, and not dependent upon failure of Obligee
         to collect from any other Co-Maker.  

                    (b)  Obligee may enforce this Agreement against the
         Subsidiaries notwithstanding the existence of any dispute be-
         tween Obligee and Company or any Subsidiary with respect to the
         existence of an Event of Default.

                    (c)  The obligations of each Subsidiary hereunder
         are independent of the obligations of Company under the Trans-
         action Documents and the obligations of any other Co-Maker or
         any guarantor, and a separate action or actions may be brought
         and prosecuted against such Subsidiary whether or not any ac-
         tion is brought against Company or any of such other Co-Makers
         or guarantor and whether or not Company is joined in any such
         action or actions.

                    (d)  Payment by any Co-Maker of a portion, but not
         all, of the Secured Obligations shall in no way limit, affect,
         modify or abridge any other Co-Maker's liability for any por-
         tion of the Secured Obligations which has not been paid.  With-
         out limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Obligee is
         awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Co-
         Maker's covenant to pay a portion of the Secured Obligations,
         such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Co-Maker from
         its covenant to pay the portion of the Secured Obligations that
         is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not,
         except to the extent satisfied by such Co-Maker, limit, affect,
         modify or abridge any other Co-Maker's liability hereunder in
         respect of the Secured Obligations.



                                       -97-<PAGE>







                    (e)  Obligee, upon such terms as it deems appropri-
         ate, without notice or demand and without affecting the valid-
         ity or enforceability of this Agreement or giving rise to any
         reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of
         any Co-Maker's liability hereunder, from time to time may (i)
         renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or
         otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of
         the Secured Obligations, (ii) settle, compromise, release or
         discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with
         respect to, or substitutions for, the Secured Obligations or
         any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment
         of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) re-
         quest and accept guaranties of the Secured Obligations and take
         and hold security for the payment of this Agreement or the Se-
         cured Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substi-
         tute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or
         modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment
         of the Secured Obligations, any guaranties of the Secured Obli-
         gations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any
         other Co-Maker) with respect to the Secured Obligations; (v)
         enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for
         the benefit of Obligee in respect of this Agreement or the Se-
         cured Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale
         thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that Obligee may
         have against any such security, as Obligee in its discretion
         may determine consistent with this Agreement and any applicable
         security agreement or mortgage, including foreclosure on any
         such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial
         sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commer-
         cially reasonable, and even though such action operates to im-
         pair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or
         other right or remedy of any Co-Maker against any other Co-
         Maker or any security for the Secured Obligations; and (vi)
         exercise any other rights available to it under the Transaction
         Documents.

                    (f)  This Agreement and the obligations of the Co-
         Makers hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not
         be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge
         or termination for any reason (other than indefeasible payment
         in full of the Secured Obligations), including the occurrence
         of any of the following, whether or not any Co-Maker shall have
         had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or
         omission to assert or enforce, or agreement or election not to
         assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court,
         by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforce-
         ment of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy
         (whether arising under the Transaction Documents, at law, in
         equity or otherwise) with respect to the Secured Obligations or
         any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any guaranty


                                       -98-<PAGE>







         of or security for the payment of the Secured Obligations; (ii)
         any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any
         consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (in-
         cluding provisions relating to events of default) of this
         Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any agree-
         ment or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any guar-
         anty or security for the Secured Obligations, in each case
         whether or not in accordance with the terms of the Agreement or
         such Transaction Document or any agreement relating to such
         guaranty or security; (iii) the Secured Obligations, or any
         agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be il-
         legal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the ap-
         plication of payments received from any source (other than pay-
         ments received pursuant to the other Transaction Documents or
         from the proceeds of any security for the Secured Obligations,
         except to the extent such security also serves as collateral
         for indebtedness other than the Secured Obligations) to the
         payment of indebtedness other than the Secured Obligations,
         even though Obligee might have elected to apply such payment to
         any part or all of the Secured Obligations; (v) Obligee's con-
         sent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corpo-
         rate structure or existence of Company or any of its Subsidiar-
         ies and to any corresponding restructuring of the Secured Obli-
         gations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of
         a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the
         Secured Obligations; (vii) any defenses, setoffs or counter-
         claims which any Co-Maker may allege or assert against Obligee
         in respect of the Secured Obligations, including failure of
         consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds,
         statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and
         (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any
         other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any
         extent vary the risk of any Co-Maker as an obligor in respect
         of the Secured Obligations.

              11.5  Waivers by Co-Maker.  Each Co-Maker hereby waives,
         for the benefit of Obligee:

                    (a)  any right to require Obligee, as a condition of
         payment or performance by such Co-Maker, to (i) proceed against
         Company, any Subsidiary or any guarantor of the Secured
         Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or
         exhaust any security held from Company, any other Subsidiary or
         any guarantor of the Secured Obligations or any other Person,
         (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any
         deposit account or credit on the books of Obligee in favor of
         Company or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in
         the power of Obligee whatsoever;




                                       -99-<PAGE>







                    (b)  any defense arising by reason of the incapac-
         ity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of
         any Co-Maker including any defense based on or arising out of
         the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Secured
         Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or
         by reason of the cessation of the liability of any Co-Maker
         from any cause other than indefeasible payment in full of the
         Secured Obligations;

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

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

                    (e)  (i) any principles or provisions of law, statu-
         tory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the
         terms of this Agreement or which result or might result in any
         legal or equitable discharge of such Co-Maker's obligations
         hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations af-
         fecting such Co-Maker's liability hereunder or the enforcement
         hereof, (iii) any rights to setoffs, recoupments and counter-
         claims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that
         Obligee protect, secure, perfect or insure any security
         interest or lien or any property subject thereto;

                    (f)  notices, demands, presentments, protests, no-
         tices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action
         or inaction, including acceptance of this Agreement, notices of
         default under this Agreement or any agreement or instrument
         related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modifica-
         tion of the Secured Obligations or any agreement related
         thereto, notices of any extension of credit to any other Co-
         Maker and notices of any of the matters referred to in subsec-
         tion 11.4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and

                    (g)  any defenses or benefits that may be derived
         from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exoner-
         ate co-makers, guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict
         with the terms of this Agreement.

              11.6  Payment by Subsidiaries; Application of Payments.
         Subject to the provisions of subsection 11.3(a), the Subsidiar-
         ies hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the
         foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which
         Obligee or any other Person may have at law or in equity
         against any Subsidiary by virtue hereof, that upon the failure


                                      -100-<PAGE>







         of Company to pay any of the Secured Obligations when and as
         the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by
         required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or
         otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the
         operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the
         Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 362(a)), the Subsidiaries
         will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to Obligee,
         an amount equal to all Secured Obligations then due as
         aforesaid, including accrued and unpaid interest on such
         Secured Obligations (including interest which, but for the
         filing of a petition in bankruptcy with respect to Company,
         would have accrued on such Secured Obligations, whether or not
         a claim is allowed against Company for such interest in any
         such bankruptcy proceeding) and all other Secured Obligations
         then owed to Obligee as aforesaid.  All such payments shall be
         applied promptly from time to time by Obligee in accordance
         with this Agreement.  

              11.7  Co-Makers' Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc.
         Each Co-Maker hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct
         or indirect, that such Co-Maker now has or may hereafter have
         against any other Co-Maker or any of its assets in connection
         with this Agreement or the performance by such Co-Maker of its
         obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right
         or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under
         common law or otherwise and including without limitation (a)
         any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that
         such Co-Maker now has or may hereafter have against Company,
         (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim,
         right or remedy that Obligee now has or may hereafter have
         against any other Co-Maker, and (c) any benefit of, and any
         right to participate in, any collateral or security now or
         hereafter held by Obligee.  In addition, until the Secured
         Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, each Co-
         Maker shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such
         Co-Maker may have against any guarantor of the Secured Obliga-
         tions (including any such right of contribution under any guar-
         anty).  Each Co-Maker further agrees that, to the extent the
         waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of
         subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as
         set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction
         to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subroga-
         tion, reimbursement or indemnification such Co-Maker may have
         against any other Co-Maker or against any collateral or secu-
         rity, and any rights of contribution such Co-Maker may have
         against any such guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to
         any rights Obligee may have against Company and the other Co-
         Makers, to all right, title and interest Obligee may have in
         any such collateral or security, and to any right Obligee may
         have against such guarantor.  If any amount shall be paid to


                                      -101-<PAGE>







         any Co-Maker on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement,
         indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all
         Secured Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such
         amount shall be held in trust for Obligee and shall forthwith
         be paid over to Obligee to be credited and applied against the
         Secured Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in
         accordance with the terms hereof.

              11.8  Subordination of Other Obligations.  Any indebted-
         ness of any Co-Maker now or hereafter held by any other Co--
         Maker is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the obliga-
         tions of such indebted Co-Maker in respect of the Secured Obli-
         gations, and any such indebtedness of a Co-Maker to another Co-
         Maker collected or received by such other Co-Maker after an
         Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held
         in trust for Obligee and shall forthwith be paid over to
         Obligee to be credited and applied against the Secured
         Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any
         manner the liability of any Co-Maker under any other provision
         of this Agreement.

              11.9  Expenses.  Co-Makers jointly and severally agree to
         pay, or cause to be paid, on demand, and to save Obligee harm-
         less against liability for, any and all costs and expenses (in-
         cluding reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and al-
         located costs of internal counsel) incurred or expended by
         Obligee in connection with the enforcement of, or preservation
         of any rights under, this Agreement.

              11.10  Continuing Agreement.  This Agreement shall remain
         in effect as against each Co-Maker until all of the Secured
         Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full.  Each
         Co-Maker hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this
         Agreement as to future transactions giving rise to any Secured
         Obligations.

              11.11  Authority of the Co-Makers.  It is not necessary
         for Obligee to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Co-
         Maker or the officers, directors or any agents acting or pur-
         porting to act on behalf of any of them.

              11.12  Financial Condition of the Company.  Any Secured
         Obligations may be incurred by Company or continued from time
         to time without notice to or authorization from any Subsidiary
         regardless of the financial or other condition of Company at
         the time of any such grant or continuation.  The Obligee shall
         have no obligation to disclose or discuss with any Subsidiary
         its assessment, or any Subsidiary's assessment, of the finan-
         cial condition of Company.  Each Subsidiary has adequate means



                                      -102-<PAGE>







         to obtain information from Company on a continuing basis con-
         cerning the financial condition of Company and its ability to
         perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents, and
         each Subsidiary assumes the responsibility for being and keep-
         ing informed of the financial condition of Company and of all
         circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Se-
         cured Obligations.  Each Subsidiary hereby waives and relin-
         quishes any duty on the part of Obligee to disclose any matter,
         fact or thing relating to the business, operations or condi-
         tions of Company now known or hereafter known by lender.

              11.13  Rights Cumulative.  The rights, powers and remedies
         given to Obligee by this Agreement are cumulative and shall be
         in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and rem-
         edies given to Obligee by virtue of any statute or rule of law
         or in any of the other Transaction Documents or any agreement
         between any Subsidiary and Obligee or between Company and
         Obligee.  Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay
         by Obligee in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder
         shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be con-
         strued to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the fur-
         ther exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

              11.14  Bankruptcy; Post-Petition Interest; Reinstatement
         of Agreement.

                    (a)  So long as any Secured Obligations remain out-
         standing, no Co-Maker shall, without the prior written consent
         of Obligee in accordance with the Agreement, commence or join
         with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganiza-
         tion or insolvency proceedings of or against any other Co-
         Maker.  The obligations of the Co-Makers under this Agreement
         shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred,
         suspended or terminated by any proceeding, voluntary or invol-
         untary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,
         reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of any other or by
         any defense which any other Co-Maker may have by reason of the
         order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body
         resulting from any such proceeding.

                    (b)  Each Co-Maker acknowledges and agrees that any
         interest on any portion of the Secured Obligations which ac-
         crues after the commencement of any proceeding referred to in
         clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Secured
         Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of
         the commencement of said proceeding, such interest as would
         have accrued on such portion of the Secured Obligations if said
         proceedings had not been commenced) shall be included in the
         Secured Obligations because it is the intention of Co-Makers
         and Obligee that the Secured Obligations of each Co-Maker


                                      -103-<PAGE>







         pursuant to this Agreement should be determined without regard
         to any rule of law or order which may relieve any other Co-
         Maker of any portion of such Secured Obligations.  The Co-
         Makers will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor
         in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar
         person to pay Obligee, or allow the claim of Obligee in respect
         of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such
         proceeding is commenced.

                    (c)  If all or any portion of the Secured Obliga-
         tions is paid by any Co-Maker, the obligations of the other Co-
         Makers hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and
         effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that
         all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered
         directly or indirectly from Obligee as a preference, fraudulent
         transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so re-
         scinded or recovered shall constitute Secured Obligations for
         all purposes under this Agreement.

              11.15  Setoff.  In addition to any other rights Obligee may
         have under law or in equity, if any amount shall at any time be
         due and owing by any Co-Maker to Obligee under this Agreement,
         Obligee is authorized at any time or from time to time, without
         notice (any such notice being hereby expressly waived), to set
         off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (gen-
         eral or special, including but not limited to indebtedness evi-
         denced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unma-
         tured) and any other indebtedness of Obligee owing to such Co-
         Maker and any other property of such Co-Maker held by Obligee
         to or for the credit or the account of such Co-Maker against
         and on account of the Secured Obligations and liabilities of
         such Co-Maker to Obligee under this Agreement; provided,
         however, that the foregoing shall not apply to Excluded
         Property and the restricted Bank Accounts identified in
         Schedule 7.17 of this Agreement.

         SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS

              12.1  Acknowledgment Regarding Certain Environmental Obli-
         gations.  Each Subsidiary hereby acknowledges and agrees that
         the Secured Obligations includes Company's obligation under
         this Agreement to comply with the Comprehensive Environmental
         Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and all other
         Environmental Laws and to indemnify and hold harmless Obligee
         and Collateral Agent from and against any and all liability
         arising out of, or in connection with the presence of Hazardous
         Materials at any property of Company or any Subsidiary given as
         security for the Secured Obligations, and each Subsidiary
         hereby expressly undertakes as Co-Maker the payment,

         performance and discharge of such obligations and liabilities
