     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


(1)  The Company, in its opinion, has included all adjustments (consisting of
     normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the
     results for the interim periods.  The interim financial information is not
     necessarily indicative of the results that will occur for the full year. 
     The financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction
     with the financial statements and notes for the years ended December 1,
     1995, December 2, 1994, and November 26, 1993, included in the Company's
     1995 Annual Report to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.

(2)  In connection with its former roofing materials business, the Company
     issued extended warranties as to the workmanship and performance of its
     products. Over 99% of these warranties had expired prior to the end of
     1995, with the last of the ten year warranties expiring in 1996. (A small
     number of certain other, more restrictive, and limited warranties continue
     thereafter). The estimated costs of these warranties were accrued at the
     time of sale, subject to subsequent adjustment to reflect actual
     experience which resulted in additional charges to operations during 1994
     and 1993 of $325,000, and $750,000, respectively.  Some warranty holders
     have filed claims or brought suits currently aggregating approximately
     $1,183,000 against the Company and others relating to alleged roof
     failures. The Company believes, upon advice of counsel, that its warranty
     obligation under such warranties is limited to the cost of the roofing
     materials and that the amounts of the claims are significantly in excess
     of its ultimate liability. The Company is vigorously defending against
     these claims and believes that some are without merit and that the damages
     claimed in others may not bear any reasonable relationship to the merits
     of the claims or the real amount of damage, if any, sustained by the
     various claimants. Management believes that the $874,000 reserve recorded
     at December 1, 1995 is adequate provision for the Company's remaining
     warranty obligations.

     The Company was the plaintiff in a legal action against one supplier of
     materials previously used in the Company's discontinued roofing systems.
     The Company claimed substantial monetary damages based on the failure of
     the subject materials to perform as expected.  On or about September 11,
     1995, the legal action was settled for a cash payment of $825,000 by the
     defendant, which resulted in a $825,000 gain during the fourth quarter of
     1995 that is reflected as Other income, net within the 1995 Statement of
     Operations and Retained Earnings.

     The Company is a defendant in several other lawsuits arising in the normal
     course of business.  Based upon advice of counsel, management believes
     that these lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the
     Company's results of operations or its financial position.

     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


     The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has asserted four
     (4) claims against the Company under the Comprehensive Environmental
     Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), pursuant to which EPA
     is seeking to recover from the Company and other "generators" the costs
     associated with the clean-up of certain sites used by licensed disposal
     companies hired by the Company as independent contractors for the disposal
     and/or reclamation of hazardous waste materials. In one case, in the
     United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, the EPA
     began an action on or about March 1, 1990 in respect to the Superfund site
     known as Re-Solve, Inc., of Dartmouth, Massachusetts. The Company has
     entered into a Consent Decree, (embodied in an order of Judgment entered
     October 14, 1992), requiring payment by the Company of $100,000 plus
     interest over a period of five years in full settlement of the EPA claim.
     The Company has paid $68,000 and owes two payments of $16,000 in each of
     1996 and 1997.

     On or about March 28, 1986, the Company was notified of potential
     liability with respect to the Cannons Engineering Corporation site in
     Bridgewater, Massachusetts, and the Cannons Engineering Corporation site
     in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and of its alleged ranking number 128 of more
     than 300 generators.  The Company had rejected offers of approximately
     $40,000 and approximately $24,000 to settle with the EPA in this matter,
     since such settlements would not have released the Company with respect to
     liability for any future clean-up  at the sites in question.  No action
     has been filed by the EPA against the Company.  EPA  settled with a number
     of the generators who have, in turn threatened legal action against the
     Company.  A reiteration of a 1991 contribution demand was made in 1994 by
     certain settling PRP's in the amount of $175,000.  The Company received
     notification that a lawsuit was filed against it on June 23, 1995, in the
     United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts by Olin
     Hunt Specialty Products, Inc., ("Olin").  Olin sought to recover its
     contribution as a result of a settlement entered into on June 26, 1992
     between Olin, et al., and the United States, the State of New Hampshire,
     and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, (the "Governments") for
     reimbursement of the Governments' response costs in connection with the
     Cannons site.   A settlement was subsequently reached whereby the Company
     paid the Plaintiff the sum of $40,000 in exchange for the execution of
     mutual general Releases and the filing of a Stipulation of Dismissal, with
     prejudice.

     With respect to the third assertion against the Company under CERCLA, a
     General Notice of Potential Liability was sent to 1,659 Potentially
     Responsible Parties ("PRP") including the Company, in June, 1992, relative
     to a Superfund Site known as Solvent Recovery System of New England
     ("SRS")  at a location in Southington, Connecticut, concerning shipments
     to the site which occurred between June 1, 1956, and January 25, 1974.  
     Revised volumetric assessments were made on or about July 7, 1993.  The
     EPA has attributed 852,445 gallons of an aggregate of 48,953,983 gallons
     of waste volume to the Company (a 1.74% share).  The Company believes that
     this attribution may be overstated by failing to account for the portion
     of the gross waste volume actually returned to the Company.  This belief
     is based on the Company's facts and circumstances related to SRS, which
     are similar in many respects to those in the Re-Solve case. An SRS PRP
     Group, formed to negotiate the clean-up with EPA, has obtained consent to
     undertake  the first  phase of a remediation  program,  estimated  to cost

                  PLYMOUTH RUBBER COMPANY, INC.


     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


     $3,600,000. Phase II, as proposed by EPA, is estimated to cost
     approximately $25,000,000, to be incurred over approximately a three-year
     period.  The PRP Group opposes the Phase II proposal.  The Company's share
     (without adjustment for overstated attribution) of the Phase I remediation
     and the Phase II program, if it were adopted, would be a total of
     $498,000.  The most currently available estimate is that the cost of the
     entire clean up will range from approximately $38 million to less than $70
     million.  On or about January 16, 1996, the Company entered into a payment
     agreement with the SRS PRP Group to pay its unpaid prior and current
     assessments in the total amount of $101,000 and whereby it will be
     permitted to participate as a settling party in the Administrative Order
     relating to the NTCRA and RI/FS settlement.  Based on all available
     information as well as its prior experience, management believes a
     reasonable amount of its ultimate liability is $500,000 and has accrued
     this amount in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities in the accompanying
     Balance Sheet as of December 1, 1995.  This amount is subject to
     adjustment for future developments that may arise from the long-range
     nature of this EPA case, legislative changes, insurance coverage, the
     uncertainties associated with the ultimate outcome of the Record of
     Decision ("ROD"), the joint and several liability provisions of CERCLA,
     and the Company's ability to successfully negotiate an outcome similar to
     its previous experience in these matters.  No actions have been currently
     filed by the EPA or the settling parties against the Company, and no
     direct dialogue with the EPA is expected before the end of 1996. 
     Therefore, while the Company is participating in the PRP Group, it is
     impossible to determine the Company's total ultimate liability and/or
     responsibility at this time.   

     On January 25, 1994, the Company received a notification dated January 21,
     1994 of an additional Superfund Site, Old Southington Landfill, (the "OSL
     Site") regarding which the EPA asserts that the Company is a PRP.  The OSL
     Site is related to the SRS Site in that, the EPA alleges, after receipt
     and processing of various hazardous substances from PRP's, the owners 
     and/or operators of the SRS Site shipped the resultant contaminated soil
     from the SRS Site to the OSL Site.  Since the Company is alleged to have
     shipped materials to the SRS Site between 1956 and 1974, the EPA alleges
     that the Company is also a PRP of the OSL Site.   In addition, there were
     three (3) direct shippers to the site, the Town of Southington, General
     Electric, and Pratt & Whitney, as well as other transporters and/or 
     users.    Based on EPA's asserted volume of shipments to SRS during that
     time period, the EPA has attributed 380,710 gallons, or 4.89% of waste
     volume of all SRS customers, to the Company; no attempt has been made by
     EPA to  adjust  the  waste  volume  for the  distillation  done  by  SRS 
     prior  to  shipment to OSL, or  to allocate a percentage to the Company in
     relation to direct users  of the OSL Site, or in relation to a combination
     of direct and indirect users of the site.  An ROD was issued  in
     September, 1994 for the first Phase of the clean-up, estimated to cost
     approximately $16 million dollars. A PRP Group has been formed; and on or
     about June 20, 1995 and January 11, 1996, the Company executed agreements
     and paid assessments of  $3,000 and $6,000, respectively, to become a
     participant in the Joint Defense Group of OSL/SRS "transshipper" PRP's and
     in the Alternative Dispute Resolution Process.  All the PRP's have agreed
     among themselves to cap the liability of the "SRS Parties", (i.e. the
     indirect shippers, and the group to which the Company would belong), for
     the first phase of a clean-up at 24.5%; (the amount assessed the direct
     shippers and the other OSL Parties will be 51% and 24.5%, respectively).

     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


     There is no publicly available information yet concerning Phase II ground
     water  remediation costs; however, such costs are likely to be
     significant.  Based on all available information as well as its prior
     experience, management believes a reasonable estimate of its ultimate
     liability for Phase  I costs is $100,000 and has accrued this amount in
     Other Liabilities in the accompanying Balance Sheet as of December 1,
     1995.  This amount is subject to adjustment for future developments that
     may arise from the long-range nature of this EPA case, legislative
     changes, insurance coverage, the uncertainties associated with the
     ultimate outcome of the ROD and the joint and several liability provisions
     of CERCLA, and the Company's ability to successfully negotiate an outcome
     similar to its previous experience in these matters.  No actions have been
     currently filed by the EPA or the settling parties against the Company. 
     Therefore, while the Company intends to vigorously defend this matter, it
     is impossible to determine the Company's total ultimate liability and/or
     responsibility at this time.
  
     In the process of preparing to eliminate the use of certain underground
     storage tanks located at the Company's manufacturing facility, the Company
     determined that some soil contamination had occurred in a small localized
     area near the tanks in question.  According to the  information obtained
     by an independent Licensed Site Professional, the contamination of the
     soil appears to be confined to a small area and does not pose an
     environmental risk to the surrounding property or community.  In
     accordance with Massachusetts requirements, the Company notified the
     Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection ("DEP") of the
     foregoing on or about August 24, 1994.  In response thereto, on or about
     September 9, 1994, the Company received a Notice of Responsibility from
     the "DEP," (the "Notice").  The Notice was given to inform the Company of
     its legal responsibilities under state law for assessing and/or
     remediating a release of oil and/or hazardous material at the Company's
     property.   Plymouth has employed a Licensed Site Professional as required
     by statute to investigate the site.  A submittal has been made to DEP of
     an initial Phase I site investigation and a Tier II Classification which
     does not require written approval to proceed with studies for remediation. 
     Various remediation options are being evaluated to determine the most cost
     effective method.  A decision on the proposed remedial action will be
     submitted within the next few months.    It is expected that such
     assessment and remediation will take up to two years to complete and that
     the costs for same will not exceed the sum of  $250,000, which has been
     provided for within Accrued Expenses in the accompanying financial
     statements.  


(3)  Checks outstanding in excess of certain cash balances totaling $963,000
     and $659,000 at March 2, 1996 and December 1, 1995, respectively, have
     been included in accounts payable.

(4)  On March 7, 1995, the Company declared a 10% stock dividend on both Class
     A (voting) and Class B (non-voting) common stock.  The dividend was paid
     in Class B shares on May 23, 1995 to shareholders of record as of March
     24, 1995.  Retained earnings has been charged for $1,445,000 based on the
     dividend fair value of $8.75 per share.   Cash was paid in lieu of
     fractional shares using the closing price of Class B common stock on March
     6, 1995, and amounted to less than $1,000.  Earnings per share have been
     adjusted to reflect the stock dividend declared.  The common shares

     allowance has been reduced by $58,000 to $1,986,000 at March 1, 1996 based
     upon estimates of future taxable income through the first quarter of
     fiscal 2001.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations


Net Sales, at $13,312,000 were up 6% compared with the first quarter of 1995,
which was up 15% from  the same period in 1994, despite production time lost to
the unusually harsh New England weather and sales reduced by the sluggish 
general economy.  The increase is due to significantly  increased sales to the 
Export and Automotive markets, coupled with moderate growth in the non-
automotive OEM market, offset in part by shortfalls in the other markets.

Operating income was $735,000, unchanged from the corresponding period of 1995,
which itself was up 23% ($136,000) from 1994's first quarter,  reflecting a flat
gross profit (down $48,000), offset in part by a 2% decrease in selling, general
and administrative expenses.  The gross profit decreased 2%, despite  the higher
sales volume,  reflecting increased manufacturing  overhead put in place to
service the anticipated 1996 volume.

Selling expenses increased 17% compared to the first quarter of 1995, which
itself increased 14% over 1994's first quarter, to serve both current and
expected volume increases in the expanded Domestic auto and Export markets.  The
increased expense for the quarter was primarily attributable to increases in
advertising, freight,  salaries and fringe benefits,  and warehousing costs of
$33,000, $68,000, $30,000, and $37,000, respectively.  General and administra-
tive expenses decreased 29% from the corresponding period of 1995, which 
increased 15% from 1994, on reduced incentive compensation, computer equipment 
rental and supplies,  profit sharing, and a $147,000 recovery from a lawsuit. 

Income before taxes at $412,000 is down $428,000 from the first quarter of 1995,
which benefited from a $395,000 favorable settlement of litigation related to 
the Company's previously discontinued Consumer Products Division.  Exclusive of 
the $395,000 settlement in 1995 and the $147,000 lawsuit recovery in 1996, 
income before tax for the first quarter is down from the prior year's 
corresponding quarter, reflecting lower adjusted operating income, and a 
moderate increase in other expense, which was offset in part by a $37,000 
reduction in interest expense. The reduced Interest expense is the result of 
both lower loan volume and reduced interest rates of  (1) approximately 66 basis
points (as a result of decreases in the prime rate) on monies borrowed on the 
Company's line of credit with its primary lender, and (2) 214 basis points on 
the $3.6 million term loan refinanced on December 29, 1995 with a new lender.

Net income at $305,000 is down $443,000 from the first quarter of 1995, which
included a $238,000 recapture of deferred tax valuation allowance, which 
resulted in an effective income tax rate of approximately 11%. The current year 
net income includes a $58,000 recapture of a deferred tax valuation allowance 
which results in an effective income tax rate of approximately 26%.

The deferred tax valuation allowance as of December 1, 1995 was $2,044,000 on
estimates of future taxable income through fiscal 2000.  The valuation allowance
has been reduced by $58,000 to $1,986,000 at March 1,1996 based upon estimates
of future taxable income through the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The valuation
allowance was established in recognition of the difficulty inherent in estimat-
ing beyond a five-year horizon, particularly due to the uncertainty created by 
the Company's dependency on the automotive industry in general, and its 
significant customer in particular.

          Results of Operations

                           (Continued)



During the first quarter, net cash generated from operating activities was
$29,000 compared to $377,000 during the first quarter of 1995.  Cash provided
from net income exclusive of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance recap-
ture ($247,000), depreciation ($270,000), and the reduction of inventory 
($663,000) exceeded the cash used to increase accounts receivable ($298,000) 
and to reduce accounts payable ($498,000), accrued expenses ($181,000), other 
liabilities and pension obligations.  In accordance with the Company's agree-
ment with its primary lender, all cash receipts were applied against the 
revolving loan.  The $29,000 generated from operating activities along with 
the $3,657,000 proceeds from the partial term debt refinancing was used to 
finance capital investment ($544,000), reduce the revolving line of credit 
($881,000), and to pay down term debt ($2,230,000), and financed insurance 
obligations.

At March 1, 1996, the Company had approximately $2,000,000 in unused borrowing
capacity because of collateral limitations under its $9 million revolving line
of credit.  In the opinion of management, anticipated profits, as well as unused
capacity under its existing borrowing arrangements, will provide sufficient 
funds to meet the Company's needs during 1996, including working capital 
expansion to support Export sales growth, and investment in improved technology 
and capital equipment.

                                (ADDRESS of Maker)
                                         
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Plymouth Rubber Company, Inc. ("MAKER") promises, jointly
and severally if more than one, to pay to the order of General Electric Capital
CORPORATION or any subsequent holder hereof (each, a "Payee") AT its office
located at 303 International Circle Suite 300, Hunt Valley, MARYLAND 21031 or at
such other place as Payee or the holder hereof may designate, the principal sum
of Three Million Six Hundred Fifty-seven Thousand Three Hundred Fifty and 00/100
Dollars ($3,657,350.00), WITH interest thereon, from the date hereof through and
including the dates of payment, at a fixed interest rate of Eight AND 53/100 
percent (8.53%) PER annum, to be paid in lawful money of the United States, in
sixty (60) CONSECUTIVE monthly installments of principal and interest of
Seventy-five Thousand Ninety-four and Ten Cents  ($75,094.10) EACH ("Periodic
Installment") AND a final installment which shall be in the amount of the total
outstanding principal and interest.  The first Periodic Installment shall be due
and payable on Janaury 29, 1996 and the following Periodic Installments and the
final installment shall be due and payable on the same day of each succeeding
month (each, a "Payment Date").  SUCH installments have been calculated on the
basis of a 360 day year of twelve 30-day months.  Each payment may, at the
option of the Payee, be calculated and applied on an assumption that such
payment would be made on its due date.
 
The acceptance by Payee of any payment which is less than payment in full of all
amounts due and owing at such time shall not constitute a waiver of Payee's
right to receive payment in full at such time or at any prior or subsequent
time.
 
The Maker hereby expressly authorizes the Payee to insert the date value is
actually given in the blank space on the face hereof and on all related
documents pertaining hereto.
 
This Note may be secured by a security agreement, chattel mortgage, pledge
agreement or like instrument (each of which is hereinafter called a "Security
Agreement.")
 
TIME is of the essence hereof.  If any installment or any other sum due under
this Note or any Security Agreement is not received within ten (10) days after
its due date, the Maker agrees to pay, in addition to the amount of each such
installment or other sum, a late payment charge of five percent (5%) of the
amount of said installment or other sum, but not exceeding any lawful maximum. 
If (i) Maker fails to make payment of any amount due hereunder within ten (10)
days after the same becomes due and payable; or  (ii) Maker is in default under,
or fails to perform under any term or condition contained in any Security
Agreement, then the entire principal sum remaining unpaid, together with all
accrued interest thereon and any other sum payable under this Note or any
Security Agreement, at the election of Payee, shall immediately become due and
payable, with interest thereon at the lesser of twelve percent (12%) per annum
or the highest rate not prohibited by applicable law from the date of such
accelerated maturity until paid (both before and after any judgment).
 
The Maker may prepay in full, but not in part, its entire indebtedness hereunder
upon payment of an additional sum as a premium equal to the following
percentages of the original principal balance for the indicated period:
Prior to the first annual anniversary date of this Note:  three percent    (3%)
Thereafter and prior to the second annual anniversary 
  date of this Note:                                      two percent      (2%)
Thereafter and prior to the third annual anniversary 
  date of this Note:                                      one percent      (1%)
Thereafter and prior to the fourth annual anniversary 
 date of this Note:                                       one percent      (1%)
Thereafter and prior to the fifth annual anniversary 
 date of this Note:                                       one percent      (1%)
     and zero percent (0%) thereafter, plus all other sums due hereunder or
    under any Security Agreement.
 
It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with the applicable usury
laws; accordingly, it is agreed that, notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary in this Note or any Security Agreement, in no event shall this Note or
any Security Agreement require the payment or permit the collection of interest
in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.  If any such excess
interest is contracted for, charged or received under this Note or any Security
Agreement, or if all of the principal balance shall be prepaid, so that under
any of such circumstances the amount of interest contracted for, charged or
received under this Note or any Security Agreement on the principal balance
shall exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law, then in
such event  (a) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control,  (b)
neither Maker nor any other person or entity now or hereafter liable for the
payment hereof shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the
extent that it is in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by
applicable law,  (c) any such excess which may have been collected shall be
either applied as a credit against the then unpaid principal balance or refunded
to Maker, at the option of the Payee, and  (d) the effective rate of interest
shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful contract rate allowed under
applicable law as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction
thereof.  It is further agreed that without limitation of the foregoing, all
calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received under
this Note or any Security Agreement which are made for the purpose of
determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum lawful contract rate, shall be
made, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by amortizing, prorating,
allocating and spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated
term of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, all interest at any time contracted
for, charged or received from Maker or otherwise by Payee in connection with
such indebtedness; provided, however, that if any applicable state law is
amended or the law of the United States of America preempts any applicable state
law, so that it becomes lawful for the Payee to receive a greater interest per
annum rate than is presently allowed, the Maker agrees that, on the effective
date of such amendment or preemption, as the case may be, the lawful maximum
hereunder shall be increased to the maximum interest per annum rate allowed by
the amended state law or the law of the United States of America.
 
The Maker and all sureties, endorsers, guarantors or any others (each such
person, other than the Maker, an "Obligor") WHO may at any time become liable
for the payment hereof jointly and severally consent hereby to any and all
extensions of time, renewals, waivers or modifications of, and all substitutions
or releases of, security or of any party primarily or secondarily liable on this
Note or any Security Agreement or any term and provision of either, which may be
made, granted or consented to by Payee, and agree that suit may be brought and
maintained against any one or more of them, at the election of Payee without
joinder of any other as a party thereto, and that Payee shall not be required
first to foreclose, proceed against, or exhaust any security hereof in order to
enforce payment of this Note.  The Maker and each Obligor hereby waives
presentment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of
protest, notice of dishonor, and all other notices in connection herewith, as
well as filing of suit (if permitted by law) and diligence in collecting this
Note or enforcing any of the security hereof, and agrees to pay (if permitted by
law) all expenses incurred in collection, including Payee's reasonable
attorneys' fees.

 
THE MAKER HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM
OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THIS
NOTE, ANY OF THE RELATED DOCUMENTS, ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN MAKER AND PAYEE 
RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTIONS,
AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED BETWEEN MAKER AND PAYEE.  THE
SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES
THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS,
TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY
CLAIMS.)  THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER
ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS,
RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS NOTE, ANY RELATED DOCUMENTS, OR
TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED
TRANSACTION.  IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS NOTE MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN
CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
 
THIS Note and any Security Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the
Maker and Payee with respect to the subject matter hereof and supercedes all
prior understandings, agreements and representations, express or implied.
 
No variation or modification of this Note, or any waiver of any of its
provisions or conditions, shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an
authorized representative of Maker and Payee.  Any such waiver, consent,
modification or change shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the specific purpose given.
 
Any provision in this Note or any Security Agreement which is in conflict with
any statute, law or applicable rule shall be deemed omitted, modified or altered
to conform thereto.

     (c)  This Agreement and the other Debt Documents have been duly authorized,

already been obtained;
     (e)  The entry into, and performance by, Debtor of the Debt Documents will
not (i) violate any of the organizational documents of Debtor or any judgment,
order, law or regulation applicable to Debtor, or (ii) result in any unwaived
breach of, constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien,
claim or encumbrance on any of Debtor's property (except for liens in favor of
Secured Party) pursuant to, any indenture mortgage, deed of trust, bank loan,
credit agreement, or other agreement or instrument to which Debtor is a party;
 
     (f)  Except as have been previously disclosed, there are no suits or
proceedings pending or threatened in court or before any commission, board or
other administrative agency against or affecting Debtor which could, in the

or its ability to perform its obligations under the Debt Documents;
 
     (g) All financial statements delivered to Secured Party in connection with
the Indebtedness have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and since the date of the most recent financial

family or household purposes;
 
     (I)  The Collateral is, and will remain, in good condition and repair and
Debtor will not be negligent in the care and use thereof;
 
     (j)  Debtor is, and will remain, the sole and lawful owner, and in
possession of, the Collateral, and has the sole right and lawful authority to
grant the security interest described in this Agreement; and
 
     (k)  The Collateral is, and will remain, free and clear of all liens,
claims and encumbrances of every kind, nature and description, except for  (i)
liens in favor of Secured Party,  (ii) liens for taxes not yet due or for taxes
being contested in good faith and which do not involve, in the reasonable
judgment of Secured Party, any risk of the sale, forfeiture or loss of any of
the Collateral, (iii) inchoate materialmen's, mechanic's, repairmen's and
similar liens arising by operation of law in the normal course of business for
amounts which are not delinquent and (iv) a subordinate lien held by Chilmark
Financial Services (as agent for certain lenders) (all of such permitted liens
being hereinafter referred to as "Permitted Liens").
 

3.   COLLATERAL.
 
     (a) Until the declaration of any default hereunder, Debtor shall remain in
possession of the Collateral; provided, however, that Secured Party shall have
the right to possess  (i) any chattel paper or instrument that constitutes a
part of the Collateral, and  (ii) any other Collateral which because of its
nature may require that Secured Party's security interest therein be perfected
by possession.  Secured Party, its successors and assigns, and their respective
agents, shall have the right to examine and inspect any of the Collateral at any
time during normal business hours.  Upon any request from Secured Party, Debtor
shall provide Secured Party with notice of the then current location of the
Collateral.
 
     (b)  Debtor shall  (i) use the Collateral only in its trade or business, 
(ii) maintain all of the Collateral in good condition and working order,  (iii)
use and maintain the Collateral only in compliance with all applicable laws, and
(iv) without Secured Party s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
keep all of the Collateral free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances
(except for Permitted Liens).
 
     (c)  Debtor shall not, without the prior written consent of Secured Party, 
(i) part with possession of any of the Collateral (except to Secured Party or
for maintenance and repair), (ii) remove any of the Collateral from the
continental United States, or  (iii) sell, rent, lease, mortgage, grant a
security interest in or otherwise transfer or encumber (except for Permitted
Liens) any of the Collateral.
 
     (d) Debtor shall pay promptly when due all taxes, license fees, assessments
and public and private charges levied or assessed on any of the Collateral, on
the use thereof, or on this Agreement or any of the other Debt Documents.  Upon
prior written notice to Debtor by reason of Debtor s failure to pay, at its
option, Secured Party may discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other
encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and may pay for the
maintenance, insurance and preservation of the Collateral or to effect
compliance with the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Debt Documents. 
Debtor shall reimburse Secured Party, on demand, for any and all costs and
expenses incurred by Secured Party in connection therewith and agrees that such
reimbursement obligation shall be secured hereby.
 
     (e)  Debtor shall, at all times, keep accurate and complete records of the
Collateral, and Secured Party, its successors and assigns, and their respective
agents, shall have the right to examine, inspect, and make extracts from all of
Debtor's books and records relating to the Collateral at any time during normal
business hours.
 
     (f)  If agreed by the parties, Secured Party may, but shall in no event be
obligated to, accept substitutions and exchanges of property for property, and
additions to the property, constituting all or any part of the Collateral.  Such
substitutions, exchanges and additions shall be accomplished at any time and
from time to time, by the substitution of a revised Collateral Schedule for the
Collateral Schedule now or hereafter annexed.  Any property which may be
substituted, exchanged or added as aforesaid shall constitute a portion of the
Collateral and shall be subject to the security interest granted herein. 
Additions to, reductions or exchanges of, or substitutions for, the Collateral,
payments on account of any obligation or liability secured hereby, increases in
the obligations and liabilities secured hereby, or the creation of additional
obligations and liabilities secured hereby, may from time to time be made or
occur without affecting the provisions of this Agreement or the provisions of
any obligation or liability which this Agreement secures.
 
     (g)  Any third person at any time and from time to time holding all or any
portion of the Collateral shall be deemed to, and shall, hold the Collateral as
the agent of, and as pledge holder for, Secured Party.  At any time and from
time to time, Secured Party may give notice to any third person holding all or
any portion of the Collateral that such third person is holding the Collateral
as the agent of, and as pledge holder for, the Secured Party.
 

4.   INSURANCE.
 
     The Collateral shall at all times be held at Debtor's risk, and Debtor
shall keep it insured against loss or damage by fire and extended coverage
perils, theft, burglary, and for any or all Collateral which are vehicles, for
risk of loss by collision, and where requested by Secured Party, against other
risks as required thereby, for the full replacement value thereof, with
companies, in amounts and under policies acceptable to Secured Party.  Debtor
shall, if Secured Party so requires, deliver to Secured Party policies or
certificates of insurance evidencing such coverage.  Each policy shall name
Secured Party as loss payee thereunder, shall provide for coverage to Secured
Party regardless of the breach by Debtor of any warranty or representation made
therein, shall not be subject to co-insurance, and shall provide for thirty (30)
days written notice to Secured Party of the cancellation or material
modification thereof.  Debtor hereby appoints Secured Party as its attorney in
fact to make proof of loss, claim for insurance and adjustments with insurers,
and to execute or endorse all documents, checks or drafts in connection with
payments made as a result of any such insurance policies.  Proceeds of insurance
shall be applied, at the option of Secured Party, to repair or replace the
Collateral or to reduce any of the Indebtedness secured hereby.
 <PAGE>
5.   REPORTS.
 
     (a)  Debtor shall promptly notify Secured Party in the event of  (i) any
change in the name of Debtor,  (ii) any relocation of its chief executive
offices,  (iii) any relocation of any of the Collateral,  (iv) any of the
Collateral being lost, stolen, missing, destroyed, materially damaged, or (v)
any lien, claim or encumbrance attaching or being made against any of the
Collateral other than Permitted Liens.
 
     (b)  Subject to Secured Party s continuing obligation of confidentiality,
Debtor agrees to furnish its annual financial statements and such interim
statements as Secured Party may require in form satisfactory to Secured Party. 
Any and all financial statements submitted and to be submitted to Secured Party
have and will have been prepared on a basis of generally accepted accounting
principles, and are and will be complete and correct and fairly present Debtor's
financial condition as at the date thereof.  Secured Party may at any reasonable
time examine the books and records of Debtor and make copies thereof.
 

6.   FURTHER ASSURANCES.
 
     (a)  Debtor shall, upon request of Secured Party, furnish to Secured Party
such further information, execute and deliver to Secured Party such documents
and instruments (including, without limitation, Uniform Commercial Code
financing statements) and do such other acts and things, as Secured Party may at
any time reasonably request relating to the perfection or protection of the
security interest created by this Agreement or for the purpose of carrying out
the intent of this Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, Debtor shall
cooperate and do all acts deemed necessary or advisable by Secured Party to
continue in Secured Party a perfected first security interest in the Collateral,
and shall obtain and furnish to Secured Party any subordinations, releases,
landlord, lessor, or mortgagee waivers, and similar documents as may be from
time to time requested by, and which are in form and substance satisfactory to,
Secured Party.
 
     (b)  Debtor hereby grants to Secured Party the power to sign Debtor's name
and generally to act on behalf of Debtor to execute and file applications for
title, transfers of title, financing statements, notices of lien and other
documents pertaining to any or all of the Collateral as reasonably determined by
Secured Party.  Debtor shall, if any certificate of title be required or
permitted by law for any of the Collateral, obtain such certificate showing the
lien hereof with respect to the Collateral and promptly deliver same to Secured
Party.
 
     (c)  Debtor shall indemnify and defend the Secured Party, its successors
and assigns, and their respective directors, officers and employees, from and
against any and all claims, actions and suits (including, without limitation,
related attorneys' fees) of any kind, nature or description whatsoever arising,
directly or indirectly, in connection with any of the Collateral.


7.   EVENTS OF DEFAULT.
 
     Debtor shall be in default under this Agreement and each of the other Debt
Documents upon the occurrence of any of the following "Event(s) of Default":
 
     (a)  Debtor fails to pay any installment or other amount due or coming due

8.   REMEDIES ON DEFAULT.
 
     (a)  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement, the
Secured Party, at its option, may declare any or all of the Indebtedness,
including without limitation the Notes, to be immediately due and payable,
without demand or notice to Debtor or any Guarantor.  The obligations and
liabilities accelerated thereby shall bear interest (both before and after any
judgment) until paid in full at the lower of twelve percent (12%) per annum or
the maximum rate not prohibited by applicable law.
 
     (b)  Upon such Event of Default, Secured Party shall have all of the rights
and remedies of a Secured Party under the Uniform Commercial Code, and under any
other applicable law.  Without limiting the foregoing, Secured Party shall have
the right to  (i) notify any account debtor of Debtor or any obligor on any
instrument which constitutes part of the Collateral to make payment to the
Secured Party,  (ii) with or without legal process, enter any premises where the
Collateral may be and take possession and/or remove said Collateral from said
premises,  (iii) sell the Collateral at public or private sale, in whole or in
part, and have the right to bid and purchase at said sale, and/or  (iv) lease or
otherwise dispose of all or part of the Collateral, applying proceeds therefrom
to the obligations then in default.  If requested by Secured Party, Debtor shall
promptly assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a
place to be designated by Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to both
parties.  Secured Party may also render any or all of the Collateral unusable at
the Debtor's premises and may dispose of such Collateral on such premises
without liability for rent or costs.  Any notice which Secured Party is required
to give to Debtor under the Uniform Commercial Code of the time and place of any
public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended<PAGE>
disposi-
tion of the Collateral is to be made shall be deemed to constitute reasonable 
notice if such notice is given to the last known address of Debtor at
least five (5) days prior to such action.
 
     (c)  Proceeds from any sale or lease or other disposition shall be applied:
first, to all costs of repossession, storage, and disposition including without
limitation attorneys', appraisers', and auctioneers' fees; second, to discharge
the obligations then in default; third, to discharge any other Indebtedness of
Debtor to Secured Party, whether as obligor, endorsor, guarantor, surety or
indemnitor; fourth, to expenses incurred in paying or settling liens and claims
against the Collateral; and lastly, to Debtor, if there exists any surplus. 
Debtor shall remain fully liable for any deficiency.
 
     (d)  In the event this Agreement, any Note or any other Debt Documents are
placed in the hands of an attorney for collection of money due or to become due
or to obtain performance of any provision hereof, Debtor agrees to pay all
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Secured Party, and further agrees that
payment of such fees is secured hereunder.
 
     (e)  Secured Party's rights and remedies hereunder or otherwise arising are
cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.  Neither the failure
nor any delay on the part of the Secured Party to exercise any right, power or
privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 
Secured Party shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights hereunder or
under any other agreement, instrument or paper signed by Debtor unless such
waiver be in writing and signed by Secured Party.  A waiver on any one occasion
shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any
future occasion.
 
     (f)DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE THEIR  RIGHTS TO A
JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF,
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE OTHER DEBT DOCUMENTS, ANY OF
THE INDEBTEDNESS SECURED HEREBY, ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY
RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTIONS,
AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED BETWEEN DEBTOR AND SECURED
PARTY.  THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND
ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW
AND STATUTORY CLAIMS).  THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE
MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY
SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT,
ANY OTHER DEBT DOCUMENTS, OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO
THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTION.  IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS
AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
  

9.   MISCELLANEOUS.
 
     (a) This Agreement, any Note and/or any of the other Debt Documents may be
assigned, in whole or in part, by Secured Party without notice to Debtor, and
Debtor hereby waives any defense, counterclaim or cross-complaint by Debtor
against any assignee, agreeing that Secured Party shall be solely responsible
therefor.
 
     (b)  All notices to be given in connection with this Agreement shall be in
writing, shall be addressed to the parties at their respective addresses set
forth hereinabove (unless and until a different address may be specified in a
written notice to the other party), and shall be deemed given  (i) on the date
of receipt if delivered in hand or by facsimile transmission,  (ii) on the next
business day after being sent by express mail, and  (iii) on the fourth business
day after being sent by regular, registered or certified mail.  As used herein,
the term "business day" shall mean and include any day other than Saturdays,
Sundays, or other days on which commercial banks in New York, New York are
required or authorized to be closed.<PAGE>
 
     (c)  Secured Party may correct patent errors herein and fill in all blanks
herein or in any Collateral Schedule consistent with the agreement of the
parties.
 
     (d)  Time is of the essence hereof.  This Agreement shall be binding,
jointly and severally, upon all parties described as the "Debtor" and their
respective heirs, executors, representatives, successors and assigns, and shall
inure to the benefit of Secured Party, its successors and assigns.
 
     (e)  This Agreement and its Collateral Schedules constitute the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supercede all prior understandings (whether written, verbal or implied) with
respect thereto.  This Agreement and its Collateral Schedules shall not be
changed or terminated orally or by course of conduct, but only by a writing
signed by both parties hereto.  Section headings contained in this Agreement
have been included for convenience only, and shall not affect the construction
or interpretation hereof.
 
     (f)  This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until all of
the Indebtedness has been indefeasibly paid in full to Secured Party.  The
surrender, upon payment or otherwise, of any Note or any of the other documents
evidencing any of the Indebtedness shall not affect the right of Secured Party
to retain the Collateral for such other Indebtedness as may then exist or as it
may be reasonably contemplated will exist in the future.  This Agreement shall
automatically be reinstated in the event that Secured Party is ever required to
return or restore the payment of all or any portion of the Indebtedness (all as
though such payment had never been made).
 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Debtor and Secured Party, intending to be legally bound
hereby, have duly executed this Agreement in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original, as of the day and year first aforesaid.
