Item 1:       Business.

(a)      General Development of Business.

Continued Expansion

     Cinemark USA,  Inc., a Texas  corporation  (the  "Company"),  is the fourth
largest  motion  picture  exhibitor  in North  America in terms of the number of
screens in operation.  The Company was organized in December 1987 to consolidate
theatre operations then controlled by its shareholders. Since its formation, the
Company has  increased the number of screens it operates by  approximately  369%
from  337  to  1,583  at  March  27,  1997  through  internal   development  and
acquisitions.  The  Company's  1,583  screens are in 180 theatres  located in 29
states, Canada, Chile and Mexico, consisting of 1,195 screens in 128 "first run"
theatres  and 388 screens in 52  "discount"  theatres.  Of the  Company's  1,583
screens,  1,057 (or 65%) were built by the Company during the 1990's,  and, as a
result, the Company believes it operates one of the most modern theatre circuits
in the industry.  The Company's  revenues have  increased  from $43.3 million in
1988 to $341.7  million in 1996. Of the screens  operated by the Company,  1,242
were built by the Company and 341 were acquired.  The Company  anticipates  that
most of its future growth will come  primarily  through the  development  of new
theatres and the addition of screens to existing facilities.

     The Company  maintains its principal  executive  offices at 7502 Greenville
Avenue, Suite 800, Dallas, Texas 75231. Its telephone
number at such address is (214) 696-1644.

Senior Subordinated Notes Offering and Senior Note Repurchase

     On August 15, 1996,  the Company  issued $200 million  aggregate  principal
amount of  9-5/8%  Series A Senior  Subordinated  Notes  (the  "Series A Notes")
pursuant to Rule 144A (the  "Offering").  The net proceeds of the Offering  were
used by the Company to (i) repurchase an aggregate $123,370,000 of the Company's
12% Senior Notes due 2001 (the "Senior  Notes") and pay premium and consent fees
related  thereto  pursuant to an Offer to Purchase and Consent  Solicitation  to
repurchase  all of the Company's $125 million  principal  amount of Senior Notes
and (ii)  reduce  the  Company's  indebtedness  under the then  existing  credit
facility.  The Company  exchanged  the Series A Notes in October 1996 for 9-5/8%
Series B Senior  Subordinated  Notes (the "Senior  Subordinated  Notes"),  which
Senior Subordinated Notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended.

New Credit Facility

     On December 12, 1996,  the Company  replaced its existing  credit  facility
with a reducing  revolving  credit agreement (the "Credit  Facility")  through a
group of banks for which Bank of America National Trust and Savings  Association
acts as administrative agent (the  "Administrative  Agent"). The Credit Facility
provides for loans to the Company of up to $225.0 million in the aggregate.  The
Credit Facility is a reducing revolving credit facility;  therefore,  at the end
of each  quarter  during  the  calendar  year  2000,  2001,  2002 and 2003,  the
aggregate commitment shall automatically be reduced by $8,437,500,  $11,250,000,
$14,062,500 and $22,500,000 respectively.  The Company is required to prepay all
loans  outstanding in excess of the aggregate  commitment as reduced pursuant to
the terms of the  Credit  Facility.  Borrowings  under the Credit  Facility  are
secured by a pledge of a majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
the Company.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility, funds borrowed currently bear
interest  at a rate per annum  equal to the  Offshore  Rate (as  defined  in the
Credit  Facility)  or the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit  Facility,  as the
case may be), plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Credit Facility). As
of March 27, 1997, the interest rate was 6.6%.

     Covenants and provisions  contained in the Credit Facility  restrict,  with
certain  exceptions,  among  other  things,  the  Company's  or  any  Restricted
Subsidiary's  ability (i) to create or incur any additional liens on any assets,
(ii) to sell  assets  of the  business  in excess  of $2.0  million  in a single
transaction or related series of  transactions,  or in excess of $5.0 million in
any 12-month period,  (iii) to engage in mergers,  consolidations or conveyances
of all or substantially  all of its assets,  (iv) to make any direct or indirect
advance,  loan or other  extension  of credit or capital  contribution  to other
persons or entitles,  (v) to incur additional  indebtedness,  (vi) to enter into
certain transactions with affiliates, (vii) to invest in margin stock, (viii) to
enter  into  capital  leases,  (ix) to declare  or pay  dividends  or make other
distributions, (x) to prepay the Senior Notes or Senior Subordinated Notes, (xi)
to engage in a material line of business  substantially  different from the line
of business currently conducted, (xii) to make significant changes in accounting
treatment or reporting  practices  or change the  Company's or any  consolidated
Restricted  Subsidiary's  fiscal  year,  (xiii) to  restrict  the ability of any
Restricted  Subsidiary to make payments to the Company, or (xiv) to restrict the
ability of the  Company to create or assume a lien in favor of the Bank upon its
property or

                                                         2

assets.  The Credit Facility also requires the Company to maintain
specified financial ratios.

     Events of default under the Credit  Facility  include,  among other things:
(i) any failure of the Company to pay principal  thereunder  when due, or to pay
interest or any other  amount due within two  business  days after the due date,
(ii) material  inaccuracy of any representation or warranty given by the Company
in the Credit Facility,  (iii) breach of certain covenants and agreements in the
Credit Facility by the Company, (iv) the continuance of a default by the Company
in the  performance  of or compliance  with  specific  terms or covenants in the
Credit  Facility  for a period of three days or other terms or  covenants in the
Credit  Facility or other loan  documents for twenty days after notice  thereof,
(v)  default  by the  Company  or its  Restricted  Subsidiaries  under any other
indebtedness  (other than the Indenture,  the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture
or  Swap  Contracts  (as  defined  in the  Credit  Facility))  in the  aggregate
principal  amount of $1.0  million,  (vi) a default  under the  Indenture or the
Senior Subordinated Note Indenture or the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture and
(vii)  certain  changes  of  control  and  acts  of  bankruptcy,  insolvency  or
dissolution.

Sale of 2 Day Video

     On October 17, 1996, the Company  entered into a Stock  Purchase  Agreement
(the "Purchase  Agreement") pursuant to which the Company sold all of the shares
of Class A Common  Stock  of 2 Day  Video,  Inc.  owned  by the  Company  for an
aggregate purchase price of $10.1 million. The net proceeds from the sale of the
stock of 2 Day Video, Inc. were used to continue the Company's expansion program
and for general corporate purposes.


Foreign Developments

General

     The motion picture exhibition business has become increasingly  global, and
rising  box  office  receipts  from  international  markets  indicate  that some
international markets are poised for rapid growth. The Company believes that its
experience in developing  and operating  multiplex  theatres  provides it with a
significant  advantage  in  developing  multiplex  facilities  in  international
markets.  In 1992,  the  Company  formed  Cinemark  International,  Inc.  (f/k/a
Cinemark II, Inc.) ("Cinemark International") to develop and acquire theatres in
international  markets.  All of the Company's  operations  outside of the United
States and Canada will be

                                                         3

conducted through Cinemark  International,  an unrestricted subsidiary under the
Company's   Indenture   governing  the  Senior   Subordinated   Notes,  and  its
subsidiaries.

     Cinemark International is introducing  state-of-the-art  multiplex theatres
to  the  significantly   "under-screened"  Latin  American  markets.  Currently,
Cinemark  International  operates thirteen  first-run  theatres (127 screens) in
Mexico  and  Chile  with an  aggregate  of  twenty-two  theatres  (221  screens)
scheduled  to open or begin  construction  in these two  countries as well as in
Brazil,  Argentina, Peru and Ecuador during the remainder of 1997. Additionally,
Cinemark  International  operates two discount theatres (24 screens) in Alberta,
Canada.  Due to the enormous  potential of the  international  market,  Cinemark
International  is expanding beyond the Latin American market into Asia. In March
1997,  Cinemark  International  entered  into a strategic  joint  venture with a
Japanese motion picture  company to build  state-of-the-art  multiplex  theatres
throughout  Japan  and  surrounding  Asian  markets.   Cinemark  International's
strategy will be to continue to form  strategic  partnerships  or joint ventures
with local partners, thereby sharing risk and obtaining valuable market insight.

Mexico

     In 1993,  Cinemark Mexico (USA), Inc.  ("Cinemark Mexico") was formed as an
indirect  subsidiary of the Company to pursue new development  opportunities  in
Mexico  through its wholly owned  subsidiary,  Cinemark de Mexico,  S.A. de C.V.
("Cinemark de Mexico").  As of March 27, 1997,  Cinemark  International  and New
Wave  Investments  AVV,  an  unaffiliated  Aruba  corporation  owned by  Mexican
citizens ("New Wave"), own 95.6% (95.0% on a fully diluted basis,  including the
exercise  of  outstanding  warrants)  and 4.4% (4.4% on a fully  diluted  basis,
including the exercise of  outstanding  warrants),  respectively,  of the common
stock of Cinemark  Mexico.  As of March 27,  1997,  warrants to purchase  22,222
shares of common stock of Cinemark Mexico are issued and outstanding.

     Cinemark   International,   through  its  subsidiary  Cinemark  Mexico,  is
developing state-of-the-art multiplex theatres. Cinemark Mexico's operations are
conducted through its subsidiary  Cinemark de Mexico.  Cinemark Mexico currently
operates eleven  theatres (114 screens),  with three theatres (35 screens) under
commitment with executed leases.

     In September 1996,  Cinemark Mexico completed an Exchange Offer and Consent
Solicitation  (the "Exchange  Offer") to restructure  the  outstanding  Cinemark
Mexico Notes (as hereinafter defined) and to

                                                         4

issue New Mexico  Notes (as  hereinafter  defined) in exchange  for  outstanding
warrants to purchase  common stock of Cinemark  Mexico.  In connection  with the
Exchange Offer, Cinemark  International also amended certain terms of the Mexico
Senior Credit Facility.  See "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Conditions and Results of Operation--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

Chile

     In November of 1992,  Cinemark  International  entered into a joint venture
agreement with Conate,  S.A., a Chilean movie theatre  operator  ("Conate"),  to
develop state-of-the-art multiplex theatres in Chile. The joint venture provides
for the development of multiplex  theatres and provides for the licensing of the
Company's  technology,  trademark  and name.  The  joint  venture  conducts  its
business  through  Cinemark Chile,  which is 50% owned by Inversiones  Cinemark,
S.A., a subsidiary of Cinemark International,  and 50% owned by Conate. Cinemark
Chile,  which is based in Santiago,  Chile,  currently operates two theatres (13
screens) and plans to begin  construction  on three theatres (32 screens) during
the remainder of 1997.

Canada

     Cinemark  International,  through  its  wholly  owned  subsidiary  Cinemark
Holdings Canada,  Inc., owns a 50% interest in Cinemark Theatres  Alberta,  Inc.
("Cinemark Alberta") which currently operates two discount theatres (24 screens)
managed by the Company pursuant to a management agreement.

Argentina

     In December  1995,  Cinemark  International  entered  into a joint  venture
agreement  with  D'Alimenti  S.A.,  an  Argentinean  corporation  ("DASA"),  and
Prodecine   S.A.,   an   Argentinean   corporation   ("Procine"),   to   develop
state-of-the-art  multiplex  theatres in Argentina.  The joint venture agreement
also provides for the licensing of the Company's technology, trademark and name.
The joint venture's  business is conducted  through  Cinemark  Argentina,  S.A.,
which is 50% owned by Cinemark  Argentina  Holdings,  S.A. The  remaining 50% is
owned equally by DASA and Procine.  Cinemark  International  and Conate each own
50% of Cinemark  Argentina  Holdings,  S.A. Cinemark Argentina plans to open its
first theatre (8 screens) in April 1997 and begin construction on three theatres
(27 screens) during 1997.

     In 1996,  Cinemark  Brazil  was  organized  as an  indirect  subsidiary  of
Cinemark International. Cinemark Brazil will develop state-of- the-art multiplex
theatres  comparable to theatres  developed by the Company in the U.S.  Cinemark
Brazil expects to open its first theatre (12 screens) in May 1997. Additionally,
Cinemark  Brazil  expects to begin  construction  on six  theatres  (64 screens)

joint venture provides for the licensing of the Company's technology,  trademark
and name.  The joint venture  conducts its business  through  Cinemark del Peru,
S.A.,  which is 50% owned by  Cinemark  International  and 50% owned by  Conate.

     The Company is a unitary  business as described  above and as a result does
not break out its business into industry segments.

(c)      Narrative Description of Business.

General

The Company

     The Company is the fourth largest motion picture exhibitor in North America
in terms of the number of screens in operation.  At March 27, 1997,  the Company
operated 1,583 screens in 180 theatres located in 29 states,  Canada,  Chile and
Mexico, consisting of 1,195 screens in 128 first run theatres and 388 screens in
52 "discount"  theatres.  Of the Company's  1,583  screens,  1,057 (or 65%) were
built by the Company during the 1990's,  and, as a result,  the Company believes
it operates one of the most modern theatre circuits in the industry.  All of the
Company's  theatres  are  multiplex  facilities  with  approximately  92% of the
Company's  screens  located in  theatres  of six or more  screens.  The  Company
believes  that its ratio of screens to theatres  (8.8 to 1 at March 27, 1997) is
the  highest  of  the  five  largest  theatre   circuits  in  the  U.S.  and  is
approximately 75% higher than the industry average  (approximately 5 to 1). From
its fiscal year ended  December 31, 1991 through the fiscal year ended  December
31, 1996, the Company has increased  consolidated  revenues  approximately  108%
from $164.4  million to $341.7  million and has increased  EBITDA  approximately
134.2% from $26.0 million to $60.9 million.

     The Company is an industry leader in new theatre construction and operation
and, according to industry sources,  has constructed more screens than any other
exhibitor  during the  1990s.  The  Company  believes  that the  attractiveness,
comfort and viewing  experience  provided by its modern facilities result in the
Company's theatres more often being the preferred  destination for moviegoers in
its markets.

     The  Company is actively  participating  in the  ongoing  trend  toward the
development of larger  multiplexes,  commonly referred to as "the rescreening of
America." The Company's management  experience and financial  flexibility permit
it to introduce larger multiplex theatre facilities into areas previously served
by smaller  theatres,  thereby  capturing  moviegoers  who seek more  attractive
surroundings,  wider variety of films,  better customer service,  shorter lines,
more convenient  parking and a greater choice of seating to view popular movies.
The Company's larger multiplex

                                                         7

facilities  increase per screen  revenues and operating  margins and enhance its
operating  efficiencies.  Such  theatres  enable the  Company  to present  films
appealing to several  segments of the movie going public while  serving  patrons
from common support facilities (such as box office, concession areas, rest rooms
and lobby). In addition,  larger multiplex  facilities  provide the Company with
greater  flexibility in staffing,  movie  scheduling  and equipment  utilization
while reducing congestion  throughout the theatre.  Larger multiplex  facilities
also provide increased flexibility in determining the length of time that a film
will run.  The  Company  can  lengthen  the run of a film by  switching  it to a
smaller  auditorium  after peak demand has  subsided  and has the  potential  to
generate higher profits as film license agreements typically provide for a lower
film rent to be paid later in a film's run.

     Revenues for the Company are generated primarily from box office admissions
and theatre concession sales, which accounted for 62% and 34%, respectively,  of
fiscal 1996 revenues.  The balances of the Company's revenues consist of revenue
collected  from video games located in the lobbies of the theatres and on-screen
advertising.

Business Strategy

     The Company intends to continue to grow through new theatre  development by
applying  the same  techniques  it has  implemented  since it was  founded.  The
Company  believes  that it is  unique  among  major  theatre  exhibitors  in the
development and execution of the following four-part business strategy:

     Continue to build in underserved  mid-sized markets. The Company intends to
continue to build first run theatres in undeserved mid-sized markets and suburbs
of major  metropolitan  areas with  populations  of 50,000 to 200,000  where the
Company  frequently will be the sole or leading  exhibitor in terms of first run
screens operated.  The Company believes it gains maximum access to film product,
and thereby realizes a competitive  advantage,  by locating its modern multiplex
theatres in new and existing film zones where little or no competition  for film
product exists.

     Capitalize  on popularity of  "megaplex"  concept.  The Company  intends to
continue  focusing on multiplex  theatres  which enable  maximum  utilization of
theatre facilities and enhance operating efficiencies, thereby maximizing profit
per square foot.  The Company  believes a  well-designed  and  operated  theatre
represents a natural setting for more than a movie exhibition site, but rather a
family entertainment  complex. The Company intends to expand its construction of
larger "megaplex" entertainment centers in major

                                                         8

<PAGE>



metropolitan  areas.  In December 1992,  the Company opened its first  megaplex,
Hollywood USA , a 15-screen, 52,000 square-foot complex containing a large video
arcade and a pizzeria. The Company subsequently opened two additional megaplexes
styled  after the  original  Hollywood  USA . Based  upon the  success  of these
complexes,  which consistently rank among the Company's top grossing  facilities
on a per screen basis,  the Company expanded the megaplex  concept.  In the last
twelve months, the Company has developed eight megaplexes, each exceeding 80,000
square feet and featuring 16 or more screens with 75 foot screens in the largest
auditoriums,  stadium  seating,  digital sound,  a pizzeria,  a coffee bar and a
large video arcade room.

     Continue to expand discount  theatre niche. The Company intends to continue
to build discount theatres (admission of $1 to $2 per ticket) primarily in major
metropolitan  markets  to serve  patrons  who miss a film  during  its first run
exhibition  or who may not be able to afford to attend  first run  theatres on a
frequent  basis.  The Company  believes that its discount  theatres  allow it to
serve these segments of the total moviegoing  population,  increasing the number
of potential  customers  beyond  traditional  first run moviegoers.  The Company
develops its multiplex  discount theatres with many of the same amenities as its
first run theatres,  including  wall-to-wall  screens,  comfortable seating with
cupholder armrests,  digital sound,  multiple concession stands and a video game
room. The Company's discount theatres  generally have higher  attendance,  lower
film costs and a greater  proportion of  concession  revenues than its first run
theatres. As of March 27, 1997,  approximately 24% of the Company's screens were
discount screens.

     Develop  modern  American-style   theatres  in  underserved   international
markets.  The Company intends to continue to develop multiplex theatres directly
or through  joint  venture  arrangements  with  local  partners  in  underserved
international markets. The Company's activities to date in international markets
have been directed toward Latin America,  which the Company believes is severely
underscreened  and is still  typically  served by one- and  two-screen  theatres
which are often antiquated and/or run-down.  In March 1997, the Company expanded
its  international  focus  with  Cinemark  International  entering  into a joint
venture  agreement with a prominent  Japanese  motion picture company to develop
and operate  multiplex  theatres in Japan and  surrounding  Asian  markets.  The
Company  believes  that the same economic  factors  giving rise to the multiplex
rescreening trend in the U.S. are similarly applicable to international markets.
The Company believes that it was the first U.S.  circuit to open  American-style
modern multiplex  theatres in Chile and Mexico, and currently has theatres under
construction in Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador and Peru.

Operations

     The  Company's   corporate   office,   which  employed   approximately  160
individuals as of March 27, 1997, is  responsible  for theatre  development  and
site  selection,  lease  negotiation,  theatre  design  and  construction,  film
licensing and  settlements,  concession  vendor  negotiations  and financial and
accounting  activities.  The Company's  theatre  operations are divided into six
geographic  divisions,  each of  which  is  headed  by a  regional  leader.  The
Company's  regional  leaders have an average of over 10 years  experience in the
movie theatre industry and each is responsible for supervising approximately 15%
of the Company's  theatre  managers.  Theatre  managers are  responsible for the
day-to-day  operations of the Company's theatres including  optimizing staffing,
developing innovative theatre promotions,  preparing movie schedules, purchasing
concession inventory,  maintaining a clean and functioning facility and training
theatre staff.

     To maintain  quality and  consistency  within the Company's  theatres,  the
Company  conducts  regular  inspections  of each  theatre and operates a program
which involves  unannounced  visits by unidentified  customers who report on the
quality of service, film presentation and cleanliness of the theatre.

Theatre Development

     The Company  continually  evaluates  existing and new markets for potential
theatre  locations.  The Company  generally seeks to develop theatres in markets
that are  underscreened as a result of changing  demographic  trends or that are
served by aging theatre facilities. Some of the factors the Company considers in
determining  whether  to  develop a theatre  in a  particular  location  are the
market's  population  and average  household  income,  the  proximity  to retail
corridors,  convenient  roadway access,  the proximity to competing theatres and
the effect on the Company's existing theatres in the market, if any.

     The Company designs its multiplex  theatres with bright colors,  neon, tile
and marble and  state-of-the-art  technology,  to create a festive and memorable
experience  for  the  customer.  The  Company  has  designed  several  prototype
theatres,  each of which  can be  adapted  to suit the  size  requirements  of a
particular  location  and  the  availability  of  parking,  and  to  respond  to
competitive  factors or specific  area  demographics.  The Company  believes the
fully designed prototypes result in significant  construction and operating cost
savings. More importantly,  the Company believes that construction and operation
of high quality theatres provides significant  competitive advantages as theatre
patrons, and therefore film

                                                        10

distributors,   seek  clean,   conveniently  located,   modern  facilities  with
state-of-the-art equipment.

     The Company's theatres typically contain  auditoriums  consisting of 100 to
400 seats each and feature wall-to-wall  screens,  high back rocking chairs with
cupholder  armrests,  digital sound,  multiple  concession stands and video game
rooms.  The Company's  megaplex  facilities  typically will exceed 80,000 square
feet,  feature  16  or  more  screens  with  75  foot  screens  in  the  largest
auditoriums,  stadium  seating,  digital sound,  a pizzeria,  a coffee bar and a
large video arcade room. The Company believes that, in particular, stadium style
auditoriums  with digital sound  provide an  entertainment  experience  which is
superior to that available at a conventional theatre. Jurassic Park, released in
the summer of 1993, was the first major motion picture to utilize digital sound.
The Company  estimates  that at least a majority  of the films  produced in 1997
will have digital soundtracks available as an alternative to the standard stereo
soundtrack.  More than 65% of the Company's  first run theatres have one or more
auditoriums  with digital sound  capabilities,  and the Company is continuing to
add digital sound capabilities.

Film Licensing

     Films are  typically  licensed from film  distributors  owned by major film
production  companies and from  independent  film  distributors  that distribute
films for smaller production  companies.  For first run films, film distributors
typically  establish  geographic  zones and  offer  each  available  film to all
theatres  in a zone.  The size of a film  zone is  generally  determined  by the
population density, demographics and box office potential of a particular market
or  region,  and can  range  from a  radius  of  three  to five  miles  in major
metropolitan  and suburban  areas to up to 15 miles in small towns.  The Company
currently  operates  theatres in  approximately  102 first run film zones.  Each
film,  regardless of the distributor,  is generally licensed to only one theatre
in each zone.  New film  releases  are  licensed at the  discretion  of the film
distributors  on an allocation  or previewed bid basis.  In film zones where the
Company has little or no  competition,  the Company  selects  those  pictures it
believes  will be most  successful.  In  film  zones  where  the  Company  faces
competition, the Company usually licenses films on an allocation basis. Under an
allocation process, a particular distributor will rotate films among exhibitors,
typically providing movies to competing  exhibitors solely based on the order of
their release. For second run films, film distributors establish availability on
a  market-by-market  basis  after  the  completion  of  exhibition  at first run
theatres, and permit each

                                                        11

theatre within a market to exhibit such films without regard to film zones.

     The  Company  licenses  films  through its  booking  office  located at the
Company's  corporate  headquarters  in Dallas,  Texas.  All of the major  motion
picture studios and distributors also maintain offices in Dallas.  The Company's
film  bookers  have  significant  experience  in the theatre  industry  and have
developed  long-standing  relationships  with the film  distributors.  Each film
booker is responsible for a geographic region and maintains  relationships  with
representatives  of each of the major motion  picture  studios and  distributors
having  responsibility  for their  respective  geographic  regions.  The Company
licenses  films from all of the major  distributors  and is not dependent on any
one studio for motion picture product.

     Prior to negotiating for a film license,  the Company's  booking  personnel
evaluate  the  prospects  for the film.  The criteria  considered  for each film
include cast,  director,  plot,  performance  of similar  films,  estimated film
rental  costs,  expected MPAA rating and the outlook for other  upcoming  films.
Successful licensing depends upon knowledge of the tastes of local residents.

     A  film  license  typically  specifies  a  rental  fee  to be  paid  to the
distributor  based on the higher result of either a gross receipts  formula or a
theatre admissions revenue sharing formula.  Under a gross receipts formula, the
distributor  receives a specified  percentage of box office  receipts,  with the
percentage  generally  declining over the term of the run. First run film rental
percentages usually begin at 70% of box office receipts and gradually decline to
as low as 30%  over a period  of four to seven  weeks.  Second  run film  rental
percentages  typically  begin at 35% of box office receipts and often decline to
30% after the first week. Under the theatre  admissions  revenue sharing formula
(commonly known as the "90/10"  clause),  the  distributor  receives a specified
percentage  (i.e.,  90%) of the excess of box office  receipts over a negotiated
reimbursement for theatre  expenses.  In general,  most  distributors  follow an
industry  practice of  adjusting  or  renegotiating  the terms of a film license
subsequent to exhibition based upon the film's success.

Competition

     The Company's theatres compete against both local and national  exhibitors.
In  film  zones  where  the   Company  has  little  or  no  direct   competition
(approximately  75%  of the  Company's  theatres),  the  Company  selects  those
pictures it believes  will be most  successful  in its markets  from among those
offered to it by distributors.

                                                        12

<PAGE>



Where the  Company  faces  competition,  it usually  licenses  films based on an
allocation  process.  The Company currently  operates in approximately 102 first
run film zones in the U.S. The Company  believes that no individual film zone is
material to the Company.  The Company  believes that the  principal  competitive
factors  with  respect to film  licensing  include  capacity  and location of an
exhibitor's theatre, theatre comfort, quality of projection and sound equipment,
level of customer  service and licensing terms. The competition for customers is
dependent upon factors such as the  availability of popular films,  the location
of theatres,  the comfort and quality of theatres and ticket prices. The Company
believes  its  admission  prices  at its  first run and  discount  theatres  are
competitive with admission prices of respective competing theatres.

     The  Company's  theatres  face  competition  from a number of other  motion
picture  exhibition  delivery  systems,  such  as  network,  syndicated  and pay
television,  pay-per-view  and home video  systems.  The impact of such delivery
systems on the motion picture exhibition industry is difficult to determine, and
there can be no assurance that existing or future  alternative  delivery systems
will not have an adverse impact on attendance.  The Company's theatres also face
competition from other forms of entertainment competing for the public's leisure
time and disposable income.

Employees

     As of March 27, 1997, the Company had approximately  6,500 employees in the
U.S., approximately 20% of whom are full time employees and 80% of whom are part
time employees.  The Company is a party to collective bargaining agreements with
five unions of which  approximately  ten full-time  employees  are members.  The
Company considers its relations with its employees to be satisfactory.

Regulation

     The Company is subject to various  general  regulations  applicable  to its
operations,  including  the Americans  with  Disabilities  Act (the "ADA").  The
Company has established a program to review and evaluate the Company's  existing
theatres and its specifications for new theatres and to make any changes to such
theatres  and  specifications  required  by the ADA.  The Company  develops  new
theatres to be  accessible  to the disabled and believes that it is otherwise in
substantial compliance when readily achievable with current regulations relating
to accommodating  the disabled.  Management  believes that the cost of complying
with the ADA will not be material.

Item 2:       Properties.

     Of the 1,432 screens operated by the Company in the U.S. at March 27, 1997,
27 theatres (322 screens) were owned,  132 theatres  (1,042 screens) were leased
pursuant to building  leases,  2 theatres (14 screens)  were leased  pursuant to
ground leases and 4 theatres (54 screens) were managed. The Company's leases are
generally  entered  into on a long term  basis with  terms  (including  options)
generally ranging from 20 to 40 years. Approximately 33 of the Company's theatre
leases (covering 164 screens) have remaining terms  (including  renewal periods)
of less  than 5 years  and  approximately  38 of the  Company's  theatre  leases
(covering 386 screens) have remaining  terms  (including  renewal  periods) more
than 15 years.  Rent is  typically  calculated  as a  percentage  of box  office
receipts or total theatre  revenues,  subject to an annual minimum.  The Company
leases office space in Dallas,  Texas for its corporate  office which expires on
June 30, 1998. See note 9 of the Company's Notes to the  Consolidated  Financial
Statements for information with respect to the Company's lease commitments.

     As of March 27,  1997,  the  Company  operated 15  theatres  (151  screens)
outside  of the U.S.  with 11  theatres  (120  screens)  under  commitment  with
executed  leases.  Of the 15 theatres  operated outside of the U.S., 14 theatres
(139 screens) were leased  pursuant to ground or building leases and one theatre
(12 screens) was fee owned. The leases generally  provide for contingent  rental
based upon operating  results (subject to an annual minimum).  Generally,  these
leases will include renewal options for various periods at stipulated rates. The
Company   attempts  to  obtain  lease  terms  that  provide  for   build-to-suit
construction obligations of the landlord.

Item 3:       Legal Proceedings.

     Tinseltown Litigation

     Effective April 19, 1996, the Company  entered into a Settlement  Agreement
and Release ending  litigation that the Company filed against the City of Dallas
for rejecting the  development  plan of a proposed  theatre.  The City of Dallas
paid the  Company $5 million in  monetary  damages,  and the  Company  agreed to
dismiss all claims against the defendants. An Agreed Final Order of the District
Court was issued on April 23, 1996, dismissing the litigation with prejudice.

     From time to time,  the Company is involved  in various  legal  proceedings
arising from the ordinary  course of its business  operations,  such as personal
injury claims, employment matters and contractual disputes. The Company believes
that its potential

liability with respect to proceedings  currently  pending is not material in the
aggregate  to the  Company's  consolidated  financial  position  or  results  of
operations.

Item 4:       Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

     There have not been any matters  submitted  to a vote of  security  holders
during the fourth  quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report through the
solicitation of proxies or otherwise.



                                     PART II

Item 5:       Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related
              Stockholder Matters.

     There is no  established  public  trading  market for the Company's  Common
Stock.  As of March 27, 1997,  there were 27 holders of record of the  Company's
Common  Stock.  The Company has not paid  dividends on its Common Stock and does
not expect to pay dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable  future.  The
Subordinated Notes Indenture and the Credit Facility contain restrictions on the
Company's ability to pay dividends on its Common Stock.

Item 7:  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

         The following is an analysis of the financial  condition and results of
operations of the Company.  This analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Company's  Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  including  the  notes  thereto,
appearing elsewhere in this report.

         The Company's revenues are generated primarily from box office receipts
and  concession  sales.  The  Company's  revenues  are  affected  by  changes in
attendance and average admission and concession revenues per patron.  Attendance
is primarily  affected by the commercial appeal of the films released during the
period or year  reported.  Since the Company's  formation,  attendance has grown
principally  from the development  and acquisition of theatres.  The Company has
generally experienced increases in average admission and concession revenues per
patron from ticket and concession  price increases as well as the development of
theatres  in markets  that can  support  higher  ticket and  concession  prices.
Additional  revenues  related to theatre  operations are generated by electronic
video  games  installed  in  video  arcades  located  in some  of the  Company's
theatres.

         Film rentals,  concession supplies and salaries and wages vary directly
with  changes  in  revenues.   These  expenses  have  historically   represented
approximately  65% of all theatre  operating  expenses and  approximately 50% of
revenues.  Film rental costs are based on a percentage of admissions revenues as
determined by film license agreements. The Company purchases concession supplies
to replace units sold.  Although salaries and wages include a fixed component of
cost  (i.e.,  the minimum  staffing  cost to operate a theatre  facility  during
non-peak  periods),  salaries  and wages move in relation to revenues as theatre
staffing is adjusted to handle attendance volume.

    Conversely,  facility lease expense is primarily a fixed cost at the theatre
level as the Company's facility leases generally require a fixed monthly minimum
rent  payment.  Facility  lease  expense as a  percentage  of  revenues  is also
affected by the number of leased versus fee owned facilities.  The addition of a
larger

<PAGE>



proportion of fee owned  properties in the future should result in a decrease in
facility  lease expense as a percentage of revenues and an increase in the level
of depreciation expense.

    Additionally,  advertising  cost is primarily  fixed at the theatre level as
daily movie directories placed in newspapers  represent the largest component of
advertising  costs.  The  monthly  cost of these ads is based on the size of the
directory.  However,  advertising costs have remained  relatively  constant when
expressed as a percentage of revenues as screen  growth  results in the addition
of new or larger directory ads.

    Utilities  and other  costs  include  certain  costs  that are fixed such as
property  taxes,  certain costs which are variable such as liability  insurance,
and  certain  costs that  possess  both fixed and  variable  components  such as
utilities, repairs and maintenance and security services.

    The results of operations of acquired theatres are included in the Company's
Consolidated  Financial Statements from their date of acquisition.  Fiscal years
ended  December 31, 1994,  1995 and 1996 are not directly  comparable due to the
effects of new theatre  openings,  acquired  theatres and the impact of the debt
service associated with certain financings undertaken. Theatre closings have had
no significant effect on the operations of the Company. See notes 1 and 3 of the
Company's Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

  Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995

     Revenues. Revenues in 1996 increased to $341.7 million from $298.6 million,
a 14.5% increase.  The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to a 11.1%
increase in attendance  resulting from strong  industry  performance,  the first
full year of  operations  of 130 screens  opened in 1995 and the net addition of
206 screens since 1995. The contribution  from the new screens opened in 1996 is
not fully reflected in the Company's operations as a majority of the new screens
were not opened until late 1996.  Revenues were also  positively  affected by an
increase in admission  and  concession  revenues per patron of 6.2%.  The strong
industry  performance and new screen openings contributed to an increase of 3.5%
in the revenues per average screen to $258,495 for 1996 from $249,840 for 1995.

     Cost of  Operations.  Cost  of  operations,  as a  percentage  of  revenue,
increased  slightly  to  76.7% in 1996  from  76.3% in  1995.  The  increase  as
percentage of revenues resulted from increases during the period in film rentals
as a percentage of admission revenues to 49.2% in 1996 from 48.6% in 1995 and an
increase in  utilities  and other as a  percentage  of revenues to 14.6% in 1996
from  14.2% in 1995.  This  increase  was  partially  offset  by a  decrease  in
concession supplies as a percentage of concession revenues to 15.8% in 1996 from
16.9% in 1995.

     General and Administrative  Expenses.  General and administrative expenses,
as a  percentage  of  revenues,  increased  to 6.9% in 1996  from  6.6% in 1995.
General and administrative expenses in absolute terms increased to $23.5 million
in 1996 from $19.6 million in 1995. The increase as a percentage of revenues and
in  absolute  terms is  primarily  the result of a $1.8  million  special  bonus
payment paid to key employees  during the second  quarter of 1996 to provide for
the  estimated  taxes due on the  exercise of  non-qualified  stock  options and
increases in salaries and wages,  travel, and miscellaneous  expenses associated
with the Company's international expansion.

     Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization
increased $5.9 million in 1996 to $21.8 million. in 1995.  The
increase includes a $2.4 million charge pursuant to Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (FASB 121).  In accordance
with FASB 121, the Company wrote down the assets of certain
theatres to their realizable value which exceeded their carrying
value.  Depreciation and amortization before the affect of FASB 121

increased $3.5 million for 1996. The increase is a result of the net addition of
$163.3 million in theatre  property and equipment  during 1996, a 56.8% increase
over 1995.  The  difference  in the  percentage  increase  in  depreciation  and
amortization  compared to the increase in theatre  property  and  equipment is a
result of the timing of when the  additions  were  placed in service  during the
period.

     Interest Expense.  Interest costs incurred,  including amortization of debt
issue cost and debt discount,  increased  15.1% to $24.3 million  (including the
capitalization  of $3.9 million of interest to  properties  under  construction)
from $21.1 million in 1995  (including  capitalized  interest of $1.7 million) .
The increase in interest  costs incurred  during 1996 was due  principally to an
increase in average debt outstanding  resulting from borrowings under the Credit
Facility and the Senior Subordinated Indenture.

     Income Taxes.  Income taxes  increased to $12.3 million in 1996 compared to
$10.1 million in 1995, a 22.2% increase,  resulting  primarily from the increase
in income before taxes and  permanent  differences  associated  with the sale of
certain  assets.  The Company's  effective rate for 1996 increased to 45.8% from
43.4% in 1995. The effective tax rates reflect the full reserve of the potential
tax benefit associated with the loss incurred by Cinemark Mexico.

     Other Gains and Losses. Other gains and losses for 1996 of $11.1 million is
primarily  attributable to a gain from the settlement of litigation and the sale
of 2 Day Video, Inc., an 82% subsidiary of the Company.

     Extraordinary  Items. In the third quarter of 1996, the Company issued $200
million aggregate  principle of 9-5/8% Senior  Subordinated  Notes, a portion of
the proceeds of $193.2 million (net of discount, fees and expenses) were used to
repurchase  98.7% of the  Company's  $125 million 12% Senior Notes at a price of
$1,098.33 per $1,000 principal  amount.  As a result,  an extraordinary  loss of
$9.0 million (net of related tax benefit) was recognized in connection  with the
premium paid and the write-off of the  unamortized  debt issue costs  associated
with the Senior Notes  repurchased.  The remaining loss is  attributable  to the
refinancing of the Company's bank line of credit during 1996.

     Net Income. Net income before extraordinary items of $14.6 million for 1996
and net income of $13.2  million for 1995  included the  consolidated  losses of
Cinemark Mexico of $2.6 million (net of minority interest) and $2.7 million (net
of minority interest), respectively.

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994

     Revenues.  Revenues in 1995 increased to $298.6 million from $283.1 million
in 1994, a 5.5% increase.  The increase is primarily  attributable to a combined
increase of 5.1% in admission  and  concession  revenues per patron.  Attendance
remained  constant despite the addition of 130 screens.  The  contribution  from
these new  screens is not fully  reflected  in the  Company's  operations,  as a
majority of the new screens were not opened until late 1995. The contribution to
revenues from admission and concession price increases was partially offset by a
decrease in per patron  revenues in Mexico as a result of the devaluation of the
Mexican  peso that began in late  December  1994.  Revenues  per average  screen
remained constant at approximately $250,000 per screen despite average admission
and concession  price  increases and improved  revenues per screen from new U.S.
screen  openings as revenues per screen for the 92 screens the Company  operated
in Mexico declined significantly as a result of the Mexican peso devaluation.

     Cost of  Operations.  Cost of  operations,  as a  percentage  of  revenues,
decreased to 76.3% in 1995 from 77.3% in 1994. The decrease  resulted  primarily
from a decrease in concession  costs as a percentage  of  concession  revenue to
16.9% in 1995 from  18.4% in 1994  associated  with an  increase  in  concession
pricing  which was partially  offset by an increase in film rental  expense as a
percentage  of  admission  revenues  to 48.6% in 1995 from 48.1% in 1994.  Other
operating costs as a percentage of revenues remained relatively constant between
the two periods.

     General and Administrative  Expenses.  General and administrative expenses,
as a percentage of revenues,  increased to 6.6% in 1995 from 6% in 1994. General
and  administrative  expenses  increased  to $19.6  million  in 1995 from  $17.1
million in 1994,  primarily  from increases in salaries and wages,  travel,  and
miscellaneous  expenses associated with the Company's domestic and international
expansion and increased amortized  compensation expense resulting from the grant
of stock options at less than fair market value.

                                                        24

     Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased 5.3%
in 1995 to $15.9 million from $15.1 million in 1994. The increase is a result of
the net addition of $79.5 million in theatre property and equipment during 1995,
a 38.2%  increase  over 1994.  Depreciation  and  amortization  expense  did not
increase  in  direct  proportion  with the  increase  in  theatre  property  and
equipment as $43.7  million of the  additions  were either  placed in service in
late 1995 or will be placed in service in 1996.

     Interest Expense.  Interest costs incurred,  including amortization of debt
issue  cost and debt  discount,  increased  2.4%  during  1995 to $21.1  million
(including  the  capitalization  of $1.7  million of interest to fee  properties
under  construction) from $19.5 million of interest costs in 1994 (including $.6
million of  capitalized  interest).  The increase in interest costs incurred for
1995 was due  principally to an increase in average debt  outstanding  resulting
from borrowings under the Company's bank line of credit.

     Other Gains and Losses. In 1995, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of
10 theatre  properties  (46  screens) of $5.5  million and losses of $.6 million
relating to the disposition of an interest in Funtime Pizza International,  L.C.
and the write-off of costs,  principally  professional fees,  relating to merger
negotiations with another theatre circuit which were terminated in May 1995.

     Income Taxes.  Income taxes  increased to $10.1 million in 1995 compared to
$7.1 million in 1994, a 42.9%  increase,  resulting  from the increase in income
before taxes.  The Company's  effective tax rate for 1995 was 43.4%  compared to
50.2% for 1994. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily a result of
reduction  in the relative  level of goodwill and foreign  losses as a result of
the increase in total earnings. The effective tax rates reflect the full reserve
of the  potential  tax  benefit  associated  with the loss  incurred by Cinemark
Mexico.

     Net Income.  Net income of $13.2  million in 1995 and $7.0  million in 1994
included  the  consolidated  losses of Cinemark  Mexico of $2.7  million (net of
minority interest) and $2.5 million (net of minority interest), respectively.

Inflation and Foreign Currency

     The Mexican  currency  has  experienced  a  significant  devaluation  since
December 1994.  Cinemark  Mexico's debt and certain of Cinemark Mexico's theatre
lease rents are  denominated in U.S.  dollars while its revenues are denominated
in Mexican  pesos.  As a result of the  devaluation,  certain  costs of Cinemark
Mexico  have  almost  doubled  in  relation  to  Cinemark   Mexico's   revenues.
Additionally,  the majority of the  equipment  and interior  finish  material of
Cinemark  Mexico's  theatres have been imported from the U.S. As a result of the
devaluation,   Cinemark  Mexico  has  recognized  a  $11.1  million   cumulative
unrealized  currency  translation loss adjustment in shareholders'  equity as of
December 31, 1996. The devaluation has significantly and adversely  affected the
Mexican  economy  and will  impact  the short  term  profitability  of  Cinemark
Mexico's theatres.  Additionally,  there is a reduced level of available capital
in the Mexican  financial  markets due to a significant rise in Mexican interest
rates.  This in turn has  resulted  in the  reduced  availability  of  developer
financing for future  projects.  Such events have caused a reduction in the rate
of expansion initially anticipated by Cinemark Mexico. As of March 27, 1997, the
value of the Mexican peso has  depreciated  slightly (1%) since the end of 1996.
In 1997,  generally  accepted  accounting  principles will require that the U.S.
dollar be used as the functional  currency of the Company's  Mexican  subsidiary
for U.S.  reporting  purposes.  This change will cause  devaluations in the peso
during  1997  affecting  the  Company's  investment  in Mexico to be  charged to
exchange loss rather than to the cumulative adjustment account.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's revenues are collected in cash,  primarily through box office
receipts and the sale of concession items.  Because its revenues are received in
cash prior to the payment of related  expenses,  the  Company  has an  operating
"float"  and, as a result,  historically  has not required  traditional  working
capital  financing.  Primarily  due to the  lack of  significant  inventory  and
accounts receivable,  the Company has typically operated with a negative working
capital position for its ongoing theatre operations. The major film distributors
generally  release during the summer and holiday  seasons those films which they
anticipate  will be the most  successful.  Consequently,  the Company  typically
generates  higher  revenues  during such periods.  The Company's  cash flow from
operations was $58.8 million in 1996 compared to $36.1 million in 1995 and $32.7
million in 1994.

                                                        26

     The Company's  theatres are typically  equipped with modern  projection and
sound equipment,  with  approximately 65% of the screens operated by the Company
having  been  built in the  1990's.  Maintenance  capital  expenditures  for all
theatres  operated by the Company  for 1996 were $6.0  million or  approximately
1.8% of revenues.  The Company believes that future annual  maintenance  capital
expenditures  will not  significantly  change as a percentage  of revenues.  The
Company's  investing  activities  have been  principally in connection  with new
theatre openings and acquisitions of existing  theatres and theatre circuits and
have amounted to $177.4 million,  $80.3 million and $62.9 million in 1996, 1995,
and 1994, respectively.  New theatre openings and acquisitions historically have
been financed with internally  generated cash and by debt  financing,  including
borrowings  under the Company's  bank line of credit.  Cash flow from  financing
activities  amounted to $119.7  million,  $32 million and $13.3 million in 1996,
1995, and 1994,  respectively.  During 1996, the Company opened 17 theatres (237
screens) in the U.S. and Mexico. In addition,  as of March 27, 1997, the Company
expects to open 17 theatres  (219  screens) in the U.S.  during 1997 of which it
has already  opened 4 theatres  (43 screens)  and has 9 theatres  (134  screens)
under  construction,  with another 4 theatres  (42  screens)  scheduled to begin
construction  within  the  next 90  days.  Certain  of  these  theatres  will be
megaplexes  which may cost in excess of $15  million  per  theatre.  The Company
currently  estimates that its capital  expenditures for the development of these
screens in 1997 will be  approximately  $110 million.  As of March 27, 1997, the
Company had expended approximately $15.8 million toward the development of these
screens.  Actual  expenditures for theatre  development and acquisitions  during
1997  are  subject  to  change  based  upon  the   availability   of  attractive
opportunities for expansion of the Company's theatre circuit.

     On August 15, 1996, the Company issued $200 million of Senior  Subordinated
Notes due 2008 (the "Subordinated  Notes"). The Subordinated Notes bear interest
at the rate of 9-5/8% per annum, payable  semi-annually on February 1 and August
1 of each year. The  Subordinated  Notes were issued at 99.553% of the principal
face amount (a discount of $4.47 per $1,000 principal amount).  The net proceeds
to the Company  from the  issuance of the  Subordinated  Notes (net of discount,
fees and expenses)  were  approximately  $193.2  million.  The proceeds from the
Subordinated  Notes were used to repurchase  98.7% of the Company's $125 million
12% Senior Notes due

2002  ("Senior  Notes")  pursuant to a tender offer which  expired on August 15,
1996. The Senior Notes were purchased at a premium of the $1,098.33 (including a
consent  fee of $25) per  $1,000  principal  amount,  plus  accrued  and  unpaid
interest up to the date of repurchase.  Excess  proceeds were utilized to reduce
borrowings  under  the  Company's  Credit  Facility  and for  general  corporate
purposes.

     On December 12, 1996,  the Company  replaced its existing  credit  facility
with the  Credit  Facility  through a group of banks for which  Bank of  America
National Trust and Savings Association acts as Administrative  Agent. The Credit
Facility  provides  for  loans to the  Company  of up to $225.0  million  in the
aggregate.  The Credit Facility is a reducing  revolving  credit facility at the
end of each  quarter  during  the  calendar  year  2000,  2001,  2002 and  2003,
requiring  reductions in the aggregate  commitment in the amount of  $8,437,500,
$11,250,000, $14,062,500 and $22,500,000,  respectively. The Company is required
to prepay all loans outstanding in excess of the aggregate commitment as reduced
pursuant  to the terms of the  Credit  Facility.  Borrowings  under  the  Credit
Facility  are  secured by a pledge of a majority  of the issued and  outstanding
capital  stock of the Company.  As of March 27,  1997,  the Company had borrowed
$105  million  under the Credit  Facility.  Pursuant  to the terms of the Credit
Facility,  funds  borrowed  currently bear interest at a rate per annum equal to
the  Offshore  Rate (as  defined  in the Credit  Facility)  or the Base Rate (as
defined in the Credit Facility,  as the case may be), plus the Applicable Margin
(as defined in the Credit Facility). As of March 27, 1997, the interest rate was
6.6%.

     In 1992,  the Company  formed  Cinemark  International  to explore  theatre
development  opportunities  outside the United States. As of March 27, 1997, the
Company has contributed  $46.0 million to the capital of Cinemark  International
to fund theatre development principally in Latin America. Cinemark International
plans to invest up to an  additional  $50  million  in  international  ventures,
principally  in Latin  America,  over the next two to three  years.  The Company
anticipates  that  investments in excess of Cinemark  International's  available
cash will be funded by the Company or by debt or equity financing to be provided
by third parties directly to Cinemark International or its subsidiaries.

     In  1993,  the  Company  incorporated  Cinemark  de  Mexico,  S.A.  de C.V.
("Cinemark de Mexico") as an indirect  subsidiary of Cinemark  International  to
pursue new  development  opportunities  in Mexico.  At March 27, 1997,  Cinemark
International owned 95.6% (95.0% on a fully diluted basis including the exercise
of the warrants) of the common stock of Cinemark Mexico.  The remaining 4.4% was
owned by a corporation  controlled by Mexican  citizens.  At March 27, 1997, the
Company  operated  eleven  theatres  (114  screens)  and had three  theatres (35
screens) under  commitment  with executed  leases which will begin  construction
during the remainder of 1997. In 1993 and 1994,  Cinemark  Mexico,  which is the
direct parent of Cinemark de Mexico,  issued $22.4 million  principal  amount of
12% Senior  Subordinated  Notes due 2003 (the "Cinemark  Mexico Old Notes") with
detachable warrants.

     Cinemark  International  entered into a joint venture agreement in November
1992 with a Chilean theatre operator.  Cinemark Chile, S.A.  ("Cinemark  Chile")
currently operates two theatres (13 screens), and as of March 27, 1997, plans to
begin  construction on three theatres (32 screens) during the remainder of 1997.
In December 1995, Cinemark entered into a joint venture agreement with Argentine
theatre operators to develop  state-of-the-art  multiplex theatres in Argentina.
The joint venture's  business is conducted  through  Cinemark  Argentina,  S.A.,
which is 50% owned by Cinemark Argentina Holdings,  S.A. Cinemark  International
owns 50% of Cinemark Argentina  Holdings,  S.A. Cinemark Argentina plans to open
its first  theatre (8  screens)  in April 1997 and begin  construction  on three
theatres (27 screens) during 1997. In January 1997,  Cinemark  International and
its Chilean partner entered into a joint venture  agreement to develop  state-of
the-art  multiplex  theatres in Peru.  The joint  venture  conducts its business
through Cinemark del Peru,  S.A.,  which is 50% owned by Cinemark  International
and 50% owned by Cinemark's Chilean partner.  Cinemark del Peru, S.A. expects to
open one theatre (12 screens) during 1997.

     In 1996,  Cinemark  LTDA,  a Brazilian  company  ("Cinemark  Brazil"),  was
organized as an indirect subsidiary of Cinemark  International.  Cinemark Brazil
will develop modern multiplex theatres in Brazil.  Cinemark Brazil plans to open
its first  theatre  (12  screens) in the second  quarter of 1997.  Additionally,
Cinemark  Brazil  expects to begin  construction  on six  theatres  (64 screens)
during 1997.

     In September  1996,  Cinemark  International  entered into a joint  venture
agreement  with a  prominent  Ecuadorian  company  to  develop  state-of-the-art
multiplex  theatres in Ecuador.  The joint venture conducts its business through
Cinemark del Ecuador,  S.A. ("Cinemark  Ecuador") which is 60% owned by Cinemark
International. Cinemark Ecuador expects to open two theatres (16 screens) during
1997.

     In  March  1997,  Cinemark  International  entered  into  a  joint  venture
agreement  with  Shochiku  Co.,  Ltd.,  a Japanese  distributor,  exhibitor  and
producer of movies  ("Shochiku") to develop state-of- the-art multiplex theatres
in Japan. The joint venture will conduct its business through Shochiku  Cinemark
Theatres,  which  is 26.7%  owned  by  Cinemark  International,  26.7%  owned by
Shochiku,  and the remaining  46.6% owned by a consortium of prominent  Japanese
companies.  Shochiku  Cinemark  Theatres  plans to open  its  first  theatre  (7
screens) in March 1997 and plans to begin  construction on an additional theatre
(12 screens) during 1997.


Cinemark Mexico Exchange Offer

         As of September 30, 1996,  Cinemark  Mexico had  outstanding  (i) $22.4
million aggregate principal amount of Cinemark Mexico Notes and (ii) warrants to
purchase  379,073  shares of common  stock of the Company (the  "Warrants").  On
September 30, 1996,  Cinemark  Mexico  completed the Exchange  Offer pursuant to
which  Cinemark  Mexico and the  holders  of all of the  Cinemark  Mexico  Notes
exchanged all of the Cinemark  Mexico Notes for a new issuance of the New Mexico
Notes.  The form and terms of the New Mexico Notes are identical in all material
respects to the Cinemark  Mexico  Notes  except that  interest on the New Mexico
Notes may, on each  interest  payment  date from  February  1, 1997  through and
including  February 1, 2000, be paid at the option of Cinemark Mexico in cash or
through the  issuance of  additional  notes of the same series (the  "Additional
Notes").  If the Company elects to pay accrued  interest in Additional  Notes in
lieu of cash,  interest during the relevant  interest period shall accrue at the
rate of 13% per annum.  Holders of Warrants to purchase  22,222 shares of Common
Stock of Cinemark Mexico elected not to participate in the Exchange  Offer.  The
purpose of the Exchange Offer was to exchange New Securities for all outstanding
Cinemark  Mexico  Notes in order to improve  Cinemark  Mexico's  and Cinemark de
Mexico's financial and operating

                                                        30

flexibility.  The Company exercised its option to pay Additional
Notes for the interest period ended February 1, 1997.

     In connection with the Exchange Offer,  the Company obtained the consent of
the holders of the  Cinemark  Mexico Notes to amend the  Indenture.  The Company
executed that certain Third Supplemental Indenture dated September 30, 1996 (the
"Third Supplemental  Indenture") which, among other things, (i) provided for the
issuance  of the New  Mexico  Notes and the  Additional  Notes and (ii)  amended
certain  restrictions  relating to financial  ratios with which the Company must
comply.  The Indenture requires Cinemark Mexico to maintain a Cash Flow Coverage
Ratio (as defined in the  Indenture) of 2.0 to 1.0 beginning  after December 31,
1999.

     Simultaneously  with  the  completion  of  the  Exchange  Offer,   Cinemark
International  acquired  an  additional  2,661,450  shares  of  Common  Stock of
Cinemark Mexico for $10.0 million. On January 9, 1997, New Wave also acquired an
additional 64,032 shares of common stock of Cinemark Mexico for $240,591.

     On December 4, 1995, Cinemark  International,  Cinemark Mexico and Cinemark
de Mexico,  S.A.  de C.V.,  entered  into that  certain  Senior  Secured  Credit
Facility  (the  "Mexico  Senior  Credit  Facility").  The Mexico  Senior  Credit
Facility  provides  for loans by Cinemark  II to Cinemark  Mexico of up to $10.0
million in the  aggregate  at an  interest  rate of 12% per annum.  Any  amounts
borrowed by Cinemark  Mexico under the Mexico  Senior  Credit  Facility  will be
borrowed on a term loan basis. The loans are payable as follows: (i) all accrued
and unpaid  interest  shall be payable on the first  anniversary  of the initial
loan and  quarterly  thereafter  on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15
and (ii) on December 31, 2001, all unpaid  principal,  accrued,  unpaid interest
and fees on the loan shall be paid.  Borrowing  under the Mexico  Senior  Credit
Facility is secured by a pledge of all of the assets of Cinemark Mexico.

     Simultaneously   with  the  closing  of  the   Exchange   Offer,   Cinemark
International and Cinemark Mexico agreed to amend the terms of the Mexico Senior
Credit  Facility.  The amendment (i) provides that if Cinemark Mexico  exercises
its options to pay accrued and unpaid  interest on the New Mexico Notes  through
the  issuance  of  Additional  Notes,  Cinemark  will  add  accrued  and  unpaid
indebtedness  under the Mexico Senior  Credit  Facility to principal at the next
two consecutive interest payment dates and (ii) amended certain

restrictions relating to financial ratios with which the Company
must comply.


Sale of Stock

     On March 12, 1996,  the Company issued and sold to Cypress shares of common
stock for a total purchase price of $41 million.  The net proceeds from the sale
of common  stock to  Cypress  have been used to fund the  Company's  growth  and
pursue its business plan.

     Employee Stock Option Plan

     The Company has  established a Nonqualified  Stock Option Plan (the "Plan")
under which the Chief Executive Officer of the Company,  in his sole discretion,
may grant  employees  of the Company  options to purchase up to an  aggregate of
10,685 shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock. The Chief Executive Officer
of the Company has the ability to set the exercise  price and the term (of up to
ten years) of the  options.  All options  vest at the rate of  one-fifth  of the
total  options  granted per year  generally  beginning one year from the date of
grant, subject to acceleration by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. An
employee's  options are forfeited if the employee is terminated for cause.  Upon
termination  of an employee's  employment  with the Company and provided that no
public  market exists for any class of common stock of the Company at such time,
the  Company  has the option to  repurchase  any shares of capital  stock of the
Company that were  acquired by the employee  pursuant to the Plan at a specified
formula  price  based on theatre  cash flow.  As of March 27,  1997,  there were
outstanding  options to purchase  7,842 shares of the  Company's  Class B Common
Stock.

     In April 1996,  employees  exercised  options to purchase  1,509  shares of
Class B Common Stock of the Company.  The Company incurred  compensation expense
of $1.8 million  resulting  from the payment of a cash bonus to key employees to
reimburse  them for the  taxes  due  upon the  exercise  of  nonqualified  stock
options.  The Company  received a current  tax  benefit  equal to the total cash
bonus paid,  as a result of being  allowed a tax  deduction for the value of the
bonus  and  the  difference   between  the  value  and  exercise  price  of  the
nonqualified  options.  For GAAP  purposes,  the Company will  recognize the tax
benefit for the  deduction  arising from the  differences  in value  between the
option and its exercise  price as additional  paid-in  capital(rather  than as a
reduction of tax expense).

     Independent Director Stock Options

     The Company has granted the  unaffiliated  directors of the Company options
to purchase up to an  aggregate  of 900 shares of the  Company's  Class B Common
Stock at an  exercise  price of  $833.34  per share  (the  "Director  Options").
Effective  April 1995,  the Company  amended the Director  Options to reduce the
aggregate  number of shares of Common  Stock  issuable  pursuant to the Director
Options from 900 to 600 shares and to reduce the exercise  price of the Director
Options from $833.34 per share to $1.00 per share. The

                                                        41

options vest on June 1, 1997, subject to acceleration in certain  circumstances.
The options  expire ten years from the date of grant.  A director's  options are
forfeited if the  director  resigns or is removed from the Board of Directors of
the Company.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

     In  January  1995,  the  Board  of  Directors  established  a  Compensation
Committee  of the  Board  to  study  senior  management  compensation  and  make
recommendations  to  the  Board  of  Directors  as  a  whole  relating  to  said
compensation.  Messrs.  Stock, Stein,  Anderson,  Guerra and Singleton currently
serve as members of the  Compensation  Committee,  with Mr. Stock being the only
member who is an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
   Cinemark USA, Inc.:

       We have audited the accompanying  consolidated balance sheets of Cinemark
USA,  Inc. and  subsidiaries  as of December 31, 1995 and 1996,  and the related
consolidated statements of income,  shareholders' equity and cash flows for each
of the three  years in the period  ended  December  31,  1996.  These  financial
statements   are  the   responsibility   of  the   Company's   management.   Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.

       We conducted our audits in accordance  with generally  accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

       In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all  material  respects,  the  financial  position of  Cinemark  USA,  Inc.  and
subsidiaries  as of  December  31,  1995  and  1996,  and the  results  of their
operations  and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

       At January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121,  "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," as discussed in Note 1.

       Our audits  were  conducted  for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic  consolidated  financial  statements  taken as a whole.  The  supplemental
schedules of certain  consolidating  information listed in the index on page F-1
are presented for the purpose of additional  analysis of the basic  consolidated
financial  statements rather than to present the financial position,  results of
operations  and cash flows of the individual  companies,  and are not a required
part of the basic  consolidated  financial  statements.  These schedules are the
responsibility of the Company's  management.  Such schedules have been subjected
to the  auditing  procedures  applied  in our  audits of the basic  consolidated
financial  statements  and, in our  opinion,  are fairly  stated in all material
respects  when  considered  in  relation  to the  basic  consolidated  financial
statements taken as a whole.

      At December 31, 1996, the Company also manages three theatres (37 screens)
for Movie  Theatre  Investors,  Ltd.;  one theatre  (17  screens)  for  Cinemark
Partners II; and two theatres (24 screens) for Cinemark Theatres Alberta,  Inc.,
a Canadian corporation, all related parties (Notes 11 and 12).

      Consolidated  Financial  Statements  include the accounts of Cinemark USA,
Inc. and its wholly owned  subsidiaries,  which include Cinemark  International,
Inc. (f/k/a Cinemark II, Inc.) and ENT Holdings,  Inc.  Cinemark  International,
Inc.  ("Cinemark  International")  owns 97.1% of  Cinemark  Mexico  (USA),  Inc.
(Cinemark Mexico), which owns 99.9% of Cinemark de Mexico S.A. de C.V. (Cinemark
de Mexico), a Mexican corporation. Cinemark de Mexico includes the operations of
Cinemark  del Norte S.A. de C.V.  and Servicio  Cinemark  S.A. de C.V.  Cinemark
International  owns 100% of Cinemark  Empreendimentos  e Participacoes,  LTDA, a
Brazilian  corporation,  whose  subsidiary  will operate in Brazil  beginning in
1997. Cinemark  International also owns 50% interests in affiliates operating in
Chile,  Canada,  Argentina and Peru and a 60% interest in an affiliate operating
in Ecuador. ENT Holdings, Inc. ("ENT") owns 100% of Funtime Entertainment,  Inc.
The consolidated financial statements also include 2 Day Video, Inc. (2 Day) and
subsidiary,  a video rental  "superstore"  chain through the date of its sale in
October 1996, Entertainment Amusements,  Inc., a 50%-owned holding company whose
subsidiary provides video game machines to many of the Company's theatres, and a
50% interest in Brainerd, Ltd, a theatre joint venture. Majority-owned companies
are consolidated; 50% owned companies and minority investments are accounted for
under the equity method (Note 12). The results of all of these  subsidiaries and
affiliates  are  included  in the  financial  statements  effective  with  their
formation or from their dates of acquisition.  Significant intercompany balances
and transactions are eliminated in the consolidation.

     Basis of Presentation - In preparing the financial  statements,  management
is required to make estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts
of  assets  and  liabilities  as of the  date of the  financial  statements  and
revenues and expenses for the period.  Actual results could differ significantly
from those estimates.  The estimates most susceptible to significant  change are
those used in determining the valuation of certain accrued liabilities


<PAGE>


                       CINEMARK USA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)


and the valuation of the investments in operations located in foreign countries.
Although some  variability is inherent in these estimates,  management  believes
the amounts  provided are adequate.  The devaluation of the Mexican peso and the
resultant economic uncertainties in Mexico create certain business risks for the
Company's investment in Mexico.

      Revenues are recognized when admissions and concessions sales are received
at the  theatres.  Film rental  costs are accrued  based on the  applicable  box
office receipts and the terms of the film licenses.

      Cash and Cash  Equivalents  consist of  operating  funds held in financial
institutions, petty cash held by the theatres and highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less when purchased.

      Temporary  Cash  Investments   consist  primarily  of  time  deposits  and
government  securities which are classified as available for sale and are stated
at amortized cost which approximates market.

      Inventories  of  concession  products  are  stated  at the  lower  of cost
(first-in, first-out method) or market.

      Theatre  Properties  and  Equipment  are  stated at cost less  accumulated
depreciation  and  amortization.   Property  additions  include  $1,745,721  and
$3,928,454  of  interest  incurred  during   development  and  construction  and
capitalized in 1995 and 1996,  respectively.  Depreciation is provided using the
straight-line  method over the estimated  useful lives of the assets as follows:
buildings - 18 to 40 years,  theatre  furniture  and  equipment - 5 to 15 years.
Leasehold  interests  and  improvements  are amortized  using the  straight-line
method over the lesser of the lease period or the estimated  useful lives of the
leasehold  improvements.  On January 1, 1996, the Company  adopted  Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." The adoption of
SFAS  No.  121  did  not  have a  material  effect  on the  Company's  financial
statements.  During the third  quarter of 1996 the  Company  determined  that an
impairment charge of $2,381,998 was required for certain theatres.

      Intangible  Assets  represent  primarily  the excess of cost over the fair
values of the net  assets  of  theatre  businesses  acquired,  less  accumulated
amortization   ($8,853,793  and  $8,616,821  at  December  31,  1995  and  1996,
respectively).  For financial  reporting  purposes,  these goodwill  amounts are
being amortized  primarily over 10 to 20 years,  which approximate the remaining
lease terms of the businesses acquired.

      Deferred Charges and Other Assets, as applicable,  are amortized using the
straight-line  method over the primary financing terms ended June 2000 to August
2003 for  debt  issue  costs  and over  the  three  to eight  year  terms of the
noncompete agreements.

      Deferred  Income  Taxes  are  provided  under  the  liability  method  for
temporary  differences  between revenue and expenses that are recognized for tax
return and financial reporting purposes.

      Earnings  Per Share are  computed  using the  weighted  average  number of
shares of Class A common stock and common stock equivalents  outstanding  during
each period, including,  when applicable,  the Class B common shares and options
for Class B common shares (Note 7).

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)


      Fair Values of Financial  Instruments  are  estimated by the Company using
available  market  information and other valuation  methodologies  in accordance
with Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards (SFAS) No. 107,  "Disclosures
About Fair Value of Financial Instruments." The estimated fair value amounts for
specific groups



of financial  instruments are presented in Note 5. Values are based on available
market quotes or estimates  using a discounted  cash flow approach  based on the
interest rates currently available for similar debt. The fair value of financial
instruments  for  which  estimated  fair  value  amounts  are  not  specifically
presented are estimated to approximate the related recorded value.

      Reclassifications  have  been made to  certain  1994 and 1995  amounts  to
conform to 1996 presentation.

2.    FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

      The cumulative  foreign currency  translation  adjustment in shareholders'
equity  of  $10,539,398   and   $11,129,451  at  December  31,  1995  and  1996,
respectively,  primarily  relates to the unrealized  adjustments  resulting from
translating  the  financial  statements  of Cinemark de Mexico.  The  functional
currency of Cinemark de Mexico is the peso. Accordingly,  assets and liabilities
of Cinemark de Mexico are translated to U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates.
Income and expense items are translated at the average rates  prevailing  during
the year.  Changes in  exchange  rates  which  affect cash flows and the related
payables  are  recognized  as  realized  transaction  gains  and  losses  in the
determination of net income.  At December 31, 1996, the total assets of Cinemark
de  Mexico  were   $33,357,719.   The  Company's  other   consolidated   foreign
subsidiaries  were in the development  stage and had  insignificant  translation
adjustments. In 1997, the Company will be required to utilize the U.S. dollar as
the functional currency of Cinemark de Mexico for U.S. reporting purposes due to
Mexico's highly inflationary  economy. Thus devaluations in the peso during 1997
that will  affect the  Company's  investment  will be charged to  exchange  loss
rather than to the cumulative adjustment account.

3.    ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

      In September 1996,  Cinemark  Holdings Canada,  Inc., a 100% subsidiary of
Cinemark  International  and 50%  owner  of  Cinemark  Theatres  Alberta,  Inc.,
contributed an additional  $400,000 to assist in funding the  construction of an
additional 12 screen theatre in Alberta, Canada. The other 50% owner of Cinemark
Theatres Alberta, Inc. contributed an equal amount.

      Cinemark  International  acquired an additional 2,661,450 shares of common
stock of Cinemark  Mexico for $10.0  million for a cumulative  interest of 97.1%
(96.5%  on  a  fully  diluted  basis).   Cinemark  International  sold  its  50%
partnership  interest in Beaumont  Cinema  Ventures,  Ltd.,  which  operated two
theatres in Texas,  for  $781,300,  resulting in a gain of $547,750 in September
1996. Cinemark  International also contributed funding of $1,200,000 to its 100%
owned Brazilian subsidiary, $600,000 to its Argentine affiliate, and $100,000 to
its Peruvian affiliate.

                       CINEMARK USA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)


      In May 1995, ENT sold its 50% ownership in Funtime International, Inc., an
international  pizza  and  video  arcade  restaurant  developer,  to  the  other
shareholders  of Funtime  International,  Inc. In  connection  with this sale, a
$2,000,000 note and related  interest due to ENT were canceled;  a $500,000 note
payable by ENT was canceled; and Funtime International,  Inc. paid $800,000 cash
and issued notes  payable of $200,000 and  $600,000 to ENT.  Also in  connection
with the sale,  ENT granted  Funtime  International,  Inc. a 12-month  option to
purchase the assets of the  Company's  remaining  Funtime Pizza  restaurant  and
other  related  equipment  for $400,000.  As a result of this  transaction,  ENT
incurred a loss of approximately  $294,000.  In May 1996, Funtime  International
exercised  this  option,  issuing  a  note  payable  to ENT  from  Entertainment
Technologies,  Inc. (parent company of Funtime International) for $400,000; this
resulted in a gain of $48,464 for ENT.


      In 1994 and 1995, the Company wrote off as amortization expense $1,507,217
and $323,249,  respectively, of goodwill and $351,361 and $92,389, respectively,
of  noncompete  agreements  related  to the  closing of  certain  Funtime  Pizza
restaurants  acquired in 1992. In October 1996, the Company invested $571,633 in
Brainerd, Ltd., a limited partnership, which will own and operate a theatre.


      In August 1995,  Cinemark  Inversiones,  Inc., a 100%-owned  subsidiary of
Cinemark  International  and  50%  owner  of  Cinemark  Chile,   contributed  an
additional $500,000 to Cinemark Chile to fund theatre construction.
The other 50% owner of Cinemark Chile contributed an equal amount.

      In October  1996,  the Company sold its entire  interest in 2 Day (Class A
common stock) for cash of $9,439,466 and a receivable of $633,288,  resulting in
a gain of $7 million.

</TABLE>

      Senior Notes - In June 1992,  the Company  completed a public  offering of
$125,000,000  senior  notes  payable  ("Senior  Notes").  The Senior  Notes bear
interest  at the  rate  of 12% per  annum,  payable  semiannually  on June 1 and
December 1 of each year. In August 1996,  the Company  utilized  proceeds from a
$200 million  issuance of Senior  Subordinated  Notes,  due 2008,  to repurchase
$123,370,000  of the  Senior  Notes at a  premium  of  $1,098.33  per  $1,000.00
principal  amount.  This resulted in a net outstanding  balance of $1,630,000 in
Senior Notes at December 31, 1996. An extraordinary loss of $9.0 million, net of
related tax benefit,  was recognized in connection with the premium paid and the
write-off of the unamortized debt issue costs  ($2,463,560)  associated with the
repurchased Senior Notes (Notes 4). The remaining Senior Notes are redeemable at
the option of the Company, in whole or in part,  beginning June 1, 1997, ranging
in redemption price from 106% in 1997 to 100% in 2000 and thereafter.

      Senior   Subordinated   Notes  -  In  August  1996,   the  Company  issued
$200,000,000 of Senior  Subordinated Notes due 2008 (the "Subordinated  Notes").
The  Subordinated  Notes bear interest at the rate of 9-5/8% per annum,  payable
semi-annually  on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The  Subordinated  Notes
were  issued at 99.553% of the  principal  face  amount (a discount of $4.47 per
$1,000 principal amount) for an aggregate discount of $894,000. The net proceeds
to the Company from the issuance of the Subordinated Notes (net of

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)


discount, fees and expenses) were approximately $193.2 million. The Subordinated
Notes  require the Company to maintain a  specified  interest  expense  coverage
ratio; restricts the payment of dividends, payment of subordinated debt prior to
maturity  and  issuance of  preferred  stock and other  indebtedness;  and other
restrictive  covenants.  The Subordinated  Notes are redeemable at the option of
the Company,  beginning August 2001,  ranging in redemption price from 104.8% in
2001 to 100% in 2003 and thereafter.  Any outstanding  Subordinated Note are due
August 1, 2008.

      Senior  Subordinated  Notes,  Mexico - In  1993,  Cinemark  Mexico  issued
$20,400,000 of 12% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2003 (the "Mexican Subordinated
Notes") with  detachable  warrants (the Warrants)  (Note 8).  Cinemark de Mexico
guarantees the notes on a senior  subordinated  basis. The Mexican  Subordinated
Notes were issued at a discount of $102.94 per $1,000 note, totaling $2,100,000,
and bear interest at 12% per annum payable semiannually on August 1 and February
1.  In  1994,  Cinemark  Mexico  issued  an  additional  $2,000,000  of  Mexican
Subordinated  Notes due 2003 with the terms  governed by the indenture  from the
initial

offering of Mexican Subordinated Notes. These notes were issued at a discount of
$55 per $1,000  note,  totaling  $110,000,  and bear  interest  at 12% per annum
payable semiannually on August 1 and February 1.

      The entire  $22,400,000  in Mexican  Subordinated  Notes and $1,971,500 of
accrued  interest were exchanged in September  1996 for new senior  subordinated
notes  (the  "New  Mexican  Notes").  The form and terms  are  identical  in all
material  respects to the previous notes except that interest on the New Mexican
Notes may be paid through the issuance of additional notes of the same series at
the option of Cinemark  Mexico  through and  including  February 1, 2000. If the
Company elects to pay accrued interest in the form of additional notes, interest
will accrue at 13% during that period. In connection with the exchange, Warrants
(Note 8) for 356,851 shares of common stock were exchanged for $1,339,400 in New
Mexican Notes.  As a result of the note exchange and retirement of the Warrants,
a net benefit of $.8 million,  including tax benefit, was credited to additional
paid in capital.

      The indenture for the New Mexican Notes requires a sinking fund payment of
$6,667,000 on each of August 1, 2001,  and August 1, 2002; the amounts are to be
utilized  on  such  respective  dates  to  retire  a  like  face  amount  of the
outstanding  New Mexican  Notes.  The indenture  governing the New Mexican Notes
restricts the ability of Cinemark  Mexico and Cinemark de Mexico to, among other
things, pay dividends; make investments;  incur additional indebtedness;  redeem
stock;  use proceeds of asset  disposals;  create liens;  engage in transactions
with affiliates;  and to merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all the
assets of the companies.

      Reducing,  Revolving  Credit  Facility - In  December  1996,  the  Company
amended its revolving  credit line with a reducing,  revolving  credit  facility
(the "Credit  Facility") with a group of banks. The Credit Facility provides for
loans of up to  $225,000,000  in the aggregate  and bears  interest at a defined
floating  rate,  adjusted in  accordance  with  certain  financial  ratios.  The
weighted  average  interest rate and current interest rate at December 31, 1996,
was 6.75% and 6.53%, respectively.

      The  Credit  Facility  is  a  reducing  revolving  credit  facility,  with
commitments   automatically   reduced  each  calendar   quarter  by  $8,437,500,
$11,250,000,  $14,062,500 and $22,500,000 in calendar year 2000,  2001, 2002 and
2003,  respectively.  The Company is required to prepay all loans outstanding in
excess of the  aggregate  commitment  as  reduced  pursuant  to the terms of the
Credit Facility.  Borrowings are secured by a pledge of a majority of the issued
and outstanding capital stock of the Company,  and the credit agreement requires
that the Company maintains  certain  financial ratios;  restricts the payment of
dividends, payment of subordinated debt

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)


prior to maturity and issuance of preferred  stock and other  indebtedness;  and
other restrictive covenants. This credit facility amended a new revolving credit
line of  $175,000,000  that the Company had entered into on February  1996.  The
$175,000,000 credit facility replaced the Company's previous credit facility. An
extraordinary loss of $.4 million, net of related tax benefit, was recognized in
connection  with the  write-off  of debt issue  costs  related to the  Company's
previous credit facility.

      Long-term debt at December 31, 1996, matures as follows: $652,313 in 1997;
$6,126  in  1998;  $5,895  in 1999;  $3,477  in 2000;  $6,670,880  in 2001;  and
$289,867,264 thereafter.

      The estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt of $296.6 million
at December 31, 1996,  was  approximately  $300.5  million.  Such amounts do not
include   prepayment   penalties   which  would  be  incurred   upon  the  early
extinguishment of certain debt issues.



      Debt Issue Costs - Debt issue costs of $6,149,523 and  $9,741,136,  net of
accumulated   amortization  of  $2,010,268  and   $2,664,766,   related  to  the
Subordinated  Notes,  the New Mexican Notes and the Reducing,  Revolving  Credit
Facility,  are  included  in  deferred  charges at  December  31, 1995 and 1996,
respectively.  The 1996 period  includes an  extraordinary  loss  recognized  in
connection with the writeoff of debt issue costs relating to the Company's prior
bank line of credit and repurchase of Senior Notes.

      Theatre Development Advance - The current portion of long-term liabilities
also includes  $350,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1996, for the estimated  amount
to be  payable  in the  following  year on a theatre  development  advance.  The
remaining  long-term  portion of this  advance of $769,657 at December 31, 1996,
will be repayable based on the future operations of a theatre opened in 1992.

      Common and Preferred Stocks - Class A common  shareholders  have exclusive
voting rights. Class B common shareholders have no voting rights except upon any
proposed  amendments to the articles of incorporation.  However they may convert
at their option to Class A common stock. In the event of any

liquidation,  the Class A and Class B shareholders will be entitled to their pro
rata share of assets  remaining after any preferred  shareholders  have received
their preferential amounts based on their respective shares held.

      In February 1996, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
(the  "Purchase  Agreement")  pursuant  to which the  Company  issued to Cypress
Merchant  Banking  Partners  L.P.  and  Cypress  Pictures  Ltd.   (collectively,
"Cypress")  an aggregate  23,893 shares of Class B Common Stock for an aggregate
purchase price of $41.0  million.  As part of the Purchase  Agreement,  existing
shareholders sold an additional 58,655 of Class B Common Stock,  including 1,500
shares of Class A Common stock that were exchanged for Class B Common Stock,  to
Cypress for a total purchase price of approximately  $98.2 million.  The closing
of the issuance  and sale of common stock of the Company to Cypress  occurred in
March 1996.  The net  proceeds  from the  issuance of stock by the Company  were
$38,567,063.

      At December 31, 1996, the Company has reserved Class A common stock in the
amount of 178,211 shares for potential conversions of outstanding Class B common
stock  and  8,442  shares  for  potential  conversions  of Class B common  stock
issuable  under the stock  option  plan.  The  Company has  1,000,000  shares of
preferred stock, $1.00 par value, authorized with none issued or outstanding.

      Stock  Option  Plan - Under  terms of the  Company's  stock  option  plan,
nonquailifed  options to purchase up to 10,685 shares of the  Company's  Class B
common stock may be granted to key employees.  At January 1, 1994, 7,608 options
with an exercise price of $1.00 per share were outstanding.

      The total options  granted in 1994,  1995 and 1996 were 896, 1,381 and 600
shares, respectively,  of the Class B common stock at an exercise price of $1.00
per share. All options vest and are exercisable over a period of five years from
the date of grant and  expire ten years from date of grant.  During  1996,  2213
vested  options were  exercised  and an additional  430 options were  forfeited,
accounting for a reduction of 1996 compensation  expense of $64,472. At December
31, 1996, 6,110 options were exercisable out of a total of 7,842 outstanding.

      Independent  Director  Stock  Options - In 1993,  the Company  granted the
unaffiliated  directors of the Company options to purchase up to an aggregate of
900 shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock at an exercise price of $833.34
per share (the "Director  Options").  In 1995, the Company  amended the Director
Options  to reduce  the  aggregate  number of  shares of Common  Stock  issuable
pursuant  to the  Director  Options  from 900 to 600  shares  and to reduce  the
exercise  price of the  Director  Options  from  $833.34  per share to $1.00 per
share.  The options  vest on June 1, 1997,  subject to  acceleration  in certain
circumstances. The options expire ten years from the date of grant. A director's
options are  forfeited if the  director  resigns or is removed from the Board of
Directors  of the  Company.  Compensation  expense of $414,000  was  immediately
recognized upon this exchange, with unearned compensation expense of $276,000 to
be recognized over the remaining vesting period of 15 months.

      The excess of the estimated fair market value of the stock at the dates of
the grant over the exercise price of the options are accounted for as additional
paid-in capital and as unearned  compensation,  which is amortized to operations
over the vesting period.  As a result of the above grants unearned  compensation
of $1,120,000,  $2,278,150  and $1,127,117 was recorded in 1994,  1995 and 1996,
respectively.  Compensation  expense  under this stock option plan was $836,081,
$1,591,022 and $1,324,856 in 1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

     The  Company  applies  APB  Opinion  25  and  related   interpretations  in
accounting for the Company's stock

option plan and Cinemark  Mexico's  stock option plan, as described  below.  Had
compensation  costs for the Company's stock option plan been determined based on
the fair value at the date of grant for awards  under the plan  consistent  with
the method of  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No.  123,
utilizing  the  Black-Scholes  option  pricing  model,  the effect on income and
earnings  per share would not have  changed  from the amounts  presented  in the
financial  statements.  The results are  substantially the same pursuant to SFAS
No.  123 as a result of the value of the  underlying  stock at the date of grant
being significantly higher than the exercise price of the options.

      In November  1996,  the Company  repurchased  174 shares of Class B common
stock as treasury stock.

9.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

      Leases - The Company conducts a significant part of its theatre operations
in leased premises under  noncancelable  operating  leases with terms of 5 to 30
years.  In addition to the minimum  annual lease  payment,  most of these leases

payment  of  taxes,  insurance  and  other  costs  applicable  to the  property.
Generally,   these  leases  include  renewal  options  for  various  periods  at
stipulated  rates.  Some  leases  also  provide  for  escalating  rent  payments
throughout the lease term. Deferred lease expenses of $9,811,038 and $11,580,629
at December 31, 1995 and 1996,  respectively,  have been provided to account for
lease expenses on a  straight-line  basis,  where lease payments are not made on
such basis.  Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 1994,  1995 and 1996,
totaled $29,916,187, $31,273,367 and $34,841,041 respectively.

      Future minimum payments under noncancelable  operating leases with initial
or  remaining  terms in  excess of one year at  December  31,  1996,  are due as

conditions  set forth in  Section  4.2,  the  Administrative  Agent  shall  make
available to the Company in like funds on such  Borrowing  Date the aggregate of
the amounts (if any) so made  available  by the Banks by causing an amount equal
to such  aggregate  amount (if any) received by the  Administrative  Agent to be
credited to the account of the Company as  specified  by the Company in writing.
If the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 are not satisfied, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly return such funds to the Banks making the same available.

               (c) Unless the Majority Banks shall otherwise  agree,  during the
existence  of an Event of  Default,  the Company may not elect to have a Loan be
made as an Offshore Rate Loan.

          2.4  Conversion and Continuation Elections.

               (a) The Company may (i) elect to convert on any Business Day, any
Base Rate Loans (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $3,000,000 or an
integral  multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof) into Offshore Rate Loans; (ii)
elect to convert on the last day of the Interest Period  therefor,  any Offshore
Rate  Loans (or any part  thereof in an amount  not less than  $1,000,000  or an
integral  multiple of $200,000 in excess thereof) into Base Rate Loans; or (iii)
elect to continue, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, any Offshore
Rate  Loans (or any part  thereof in an amount  not less than  $3,000,000  or an
integral  multiple  of  $500,000  in  excess  thereof);  provided,  that  if the
aggregate  amount of Offshore  Rate Loans shall have been  reduced,  by payment,
prepayment,  or conversion of part thereof to be less than $3,000,000,  Offshore
Rate Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans.

               (b)  Each   conversion  or   continuation   shall  be  made  upon
irrevocable  written notice in the form of a Notice of  Conversion/Continuation,
which  notice must be received  by the  Administrative  Agent prior to 9:00 a.m.
(San Francisco time) (i) three Business Days in advance of the Conversion  Date,
if the Loans are to be converted  into or continued as Offshore Rate Loans;  and
(ii) one  Business  Day  prior to the  Conversion  Date,  if the Loans are to be
converted  into  Base Rate  Loans,  in each case  specifying:  (A) the  proposed
Conversion Date; (B) the aggregate

                                                        43

<PAGE>



amount of Loans to be  converted  or  continued;  (C) the nature of the proposed
conversion  or  continuation;  and (D) the  duration of the  requested  Interest
Period.

               (c) If upon the expiration of any Interest  Period  applicable to
Offshore Rate Loans,  the Company has failed to select a new Interest  Period to
be applicable  thereto, or if any Event of Default shall then exist, the Company
shall be deemed to have  elected to convert such  Offshore  Rate Loans into Base
Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

               (d) Upon  receipt of a Notice of  Conversion/  Continuation,  the
Administrative  Agent will promptly  notify each Bank thereof,  or, if no timely
notice is provided by the Company, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify
each Bank of the  details  of any  automatic  conversion.  All  conversions  and
continuations  shall be made pro rata  according to the  respective  outstanding
principal  amounts of the Loans with  respect to which the notice was given held
by each Bank.

               (e) Unless the Majority Banks shall otherwise  agree,  during the
existence  of an Event of  Default,  the  Company  may not  elect to have a Loan
converted into or continued as an Offshore Rate Loan.

          2.5  Limitation  on  Interest  Periods.   Notwithstanding   any  other
provision  contained in this Agreement,  after giving effect to any Borrowing or
conversion  or  continuation  of any  Loans,  there  shall  not be more  than 15
different  Interest  Periods  for Loans in effect  without  the  consent  of the
Administrative Agent and the Majority Banks.

          2.6 Voluntary  Termination  or Reduction of  Commitments.  The Company
may,  upon  not  less  than one  Business  Day's  prior  written  notice  to the
Administrative  Agent,  terminate the Aggregate Commitment or permanently reduce
the  Aggregate  Commitment by an aggregate  minimum  amount of $1,000,000 or any
multiple  thereof;  provided  that no such  reduction  or  termination  shall be
permitted if, after giving effect  thereto and to any  prepayments  of the Loans
made on the effective date thereof, the then outstanding principal amount of the
Loans  would  exceed the  Aggregate  Commitment  then in effect  and,  provided,
further, that

                                                        44

once reduced in accordance  with this Section 2.6, the Aggregate  Commitment may
not be increased.  Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitment shall be applied to
each Bank's  Commitment  in  accordance  with such  Bank's Pro Rata  Share.  All
accrued  commitment  fees  to,  but  not  including  the  effective  date of any
termination  of  Commitments,  shall  be  paid  on the  effective  date  of such
termination.  Any voluntary reduction of the Commitment under this Section shall
be applied to reduce the Reduction Amount for the next following  Reduction Date
(to the extent of such  reduction) and thereafter to subsequent  Reduction Dates
(to the extent not previously applied) in the order of their occurrence.

          2.7 Optional Prepayments.  Subject to Section 3.4, the Company may, at
any  time or from  time to time,  upon  written  notice,  which  notice  must be
received by the  Administrative  Agent at least (a) three Business Days prior to
any  prepayment  of Offshore  Rate  Loans;  and (b) on the  Business  Day of the
prepayment of any Base Rate Loans,  ratably prepay Loans in whole or in part, in
amounts of (i) with  respect to Offshore  Rate Loans,  $500,000 or any  multiple
thereof in excess thereof, and (ii) with respect to Base Rate Loans, $200,000 or
any multiple thereof in excess thereof.  Such notice of prepayment shall specify
the date and amount of such  prepayment  and whether such  prepayment is of Base
Rate Loans or Offshore Rate Loans, or any combination thereof. Such notice shall
not thereafter be revocable by the Company,  and the  Administrative  Agent will
promptly notify each Bank of such Bank's Pro Rata Share of such  prepayment.  If
such notice is given by the Company,  the Company shall make such prepayment and
the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
specified  therein,  together with accrued interest in the case of Offshore Rate
Loans to each such date on the amount prepaid and any amounts required  pursuant
to Section 3.4.

          2.8  Mandatory Prepayments of Loans; Mandatory
Commitment Reductions.

               (a) Asset  Dispositions.  If the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries  shall  at any  time or from  time to time  make or agree to make a
Disposition  other than an  Excluded  Disposition,  then (i) the  Company  shall
promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such proposed Disposition (including
a

                                                        45

<PAGE>



calculation  of the amount of the  estimated  Net Proceeds to be received by the
Company in respect  thereof)  and (ii) to the  extent the Net  Proceeds  of such
Disposition are not used in a Covered Acquisition ("Excess Net Proceeds"),  such
Excess Net Proceeds shall be used to prepay the Loans in an amount equal to such
Excess Net  Proceeds.  Any  prepayments  required  to be made  pursuant  to this
Section 2.8(a) shall be made on the 361st day in accordance  with the definition
of Covered Acquisition, after the date of such Disposition.

               (b)  Automatic Reduction of Commitment.  Subject
to the last sentence of Section 2.6, on each Reduction Date, the
Aggregate Commitment shall automatically be reduced by the
applicable Reduction Amount.

               (c) Mandatory Prepayments from Commitment Reductions. The Company
shall prepay all Loans  outstanding in excess of the Commitments as from time to
time reduced pursuant to Section 2.6 or 2.8.

               (d) General.  Any prepayments  pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall
be applied  first to any Base Rate Loans then  outstanding  and then to Offshore
Rate Loans with the shortest Interest Periods remaining.

               (e)  Reduction of  Commitments.  Upon the making of any mandatory
prepayment   under  this  Section  2.8,  the   Commitment  of  each  Bank  shall
automatically be reduced by an amount equal to such Bank's Pro Rata Share of the
Required  Prepayment  Amount,  effective  as of the earlier of the date that any
such  prepayment  is made or the date by which  any such  prepayment  is due and
payable hereunder.  The amount of such Commitment  reduction shall be applied to
the  reductions  of the  Aggregate  Commitment  in the  inverse  order  of their
scheduled  occurrence.  All accrued  commitment  fees to, but not  including the
effective date of the reduction or termination of Commitments,  shall be paid on
the  effective  date of the  reduction  or  termination.  [For  purposes of this
Section,  "Required  Prepayment  Amount"  means an amount equal to the aggregate
amount by which the Company  would be  required to prepay the Loans  pursuant to
this  Section  2.8  if the  aggregate  principal  amount  of  Loans  outstanding
immediately prior to such prepayment exceeded such prepayment amount.]

          2.9  Maturity Date.  All principal and accrued and
unpaid interest on all Loans shall be due on the Maturity Date.

          2.10  Interest.

               (a)  Subject to  Section  2.10(c)  and (d),  each Loan shall bear
interest on the  outstanding  principal  amount  thereof from the date when made
until it becomes due at a rate per annum equal to the Offshore  Rate or the Base
Rate, as the case may be, plus the Applicable Amount.

               (b)  Interest  on each  Loan  shall  be paid in  arrears  on each
Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be paid on the date of any prepayment
of  Offshore  Rate Loans  pursuant to Section 2.7 and 2.8 for the portion of the
Loans so prepaid and upon payment  (including  prepayment)  in full thereof and,
during the existence of any Event of Default, interest shall be paid on demand.

               (c) Subject to Section  2.10(d),  during the  continuation of any
Event of Default or after  acceleration  pursuant  to Section  8.2,  the Company
shall pay  interest  (after as well as before  entry of judgment  thereon to the
extent  permitted by law) on the  principal  amount of all  Obligations  due and
unpaid,  at a rate per annum which is  determined  by adding 2% per annum to the
Applicable  Amount then in effect for such Loans and, in the case of Obligations
not subject to an Applicable  Amount, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate
plus the Applicable  Amount plus 2%; provided,  however,  that, on and after the
expiration  of  any  Interest  Period  applicable  to  any  Offshore  Rate  Loan
outstanding on the date of occurrence of such Event of Default or  acceleration,
the principal  amount of such Loan shall,  during the continuation of such Event
of Default or after acceleration, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the
Base Rate plus the Applicable Amount plus 2%.

               (d) It is the  intention  of the  parties  hereto to comply  with
applicable usury laws (now or hereafter enacted);  accordingly,  notwithstanding
any  provision  to the  contrary in this  Agreement,  any Notes,  the other Loan
Documents,  or any  other  document  relating  hereto,  in no event  shall  this
Agreement  or any  such  other  document  require  the  payment  or  permit  the
collection of interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by such

                                                        47

laws. If for any circumstances  whatsoever,  fulfillment of any provision of any
Loan Document shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law
for the collection or charging of interest,  then, ipso facto, the obligation to
be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if for any such
circumstances a Bank shall ever receive  anything of value as interest or deemed
interest  by  applicable  law under this  Agreement,  any Notes,  the other Loan
Documents,  or any other document  pertaining hereto or otherwise an amount that
would  exceed the highest  lawful  rate,  such  amount  that would be  excessive
interest  shall be  applied  to the  reduction  of the  principal  amount  owing
hereunder  and under any Notes or on  account of any other  indebtedness  of the
Company to the  Administrative  Agent and the Banks,  and not to the  payment of
interest,  or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal
of  such  indebtedness,  such  excess  shall  be  refunded  to the  Company.  In
determining  whether or not the  interest  paid or payable  with  respect to any
indebtedness of the Company to the Administrative Agent and the Banks, under any
specific  contingency,  exceeds the  highest  lawful  rate,  the Company and the
Administrative  Agent and the Banks shall,  to the maximum  extent  permitted by
applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or
premium  rather than as  interest,  (b) exclude  voluntary  prepayments  and the
effects thereof, (c) amortize,  prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of
interest  throughout  the term of such  indebtedness  so that the actual rate of
interest  on account of such  indebtedness  does not exceed the  maximum  amount
permitted by applicable law, and/or (d) allocate  interest  between  portions of
such  indebtedness to the end that no such portion shall bear interest at a rate
greater than that permitted by applicable law.

          For purpose of this Section  2.10(d),  the term "applicable law" means
the internal laws of the State of New York, but, to the extent,  contrary to the
express intent of the parties,  New York law is found to be inapplicable to this
Agreement, then "applicable law" also means that law in effect from time to time
and applicable to this loan transaction  which lawfully permits the charging and
collection of the highest permissible,  lawful, non-usurious rate of interest on
such loan transaction and this Agreement,  and, to the extent controlling,  laws
of the  United  States of  America.  It is  intended  that,  in the event  that,
notwithstanding the parties' express choice of

                                                        48

<PAGE>



New York law to be  applicable  to this  Agreement,  if the laws of the State of
Texas are included in determining  applicable law,  Chapter One ("Chapter One"),
Title 79, Revised Civil  Statutes of Texas,  1925, as amended (the "Texas Credit
Code"),  shall be included in any such determination,  and that, for the purpose
of applying said Chapter One to this Agreement, the highest lawful rate shall be
the  "indicated  rate ceiling" (as defined in Chapter  One).  Any Bank may, from
time to time,  as to current and future  balances,  implement  any other ceiling
under Chapter One by notice to the Company,  if and to the extent,  permitted by
Chapter  One.  The Company  expressly  agrees,  pursuant to Article  15.10(b) of
Chapter  Fifteen  ("Chapter  Fifteen") of the Texas  Credit  Code,  that Chapter
Fifteen  shall not apply to this  Agreement or to any Loan and that neither this
Agreement  nor any Loan shall be  governed  by or subject  to the  provision  of
Chapter Fifteen in any manner whatsoever.

          2.11  Fees.

               (a)  Arrangement Fee.  The Company shall pay to
BofA for its own account an arrangement fee in an amount and at
the time set forth in a letter dated October 24, 1996.

               (b) Commitment Fees. The Company shall pay to the  Administrative
Agent for the account of each Bank a commitment  fee on the average daily unused
portion of such Bank's  Commitment,  computed on a quarterly basis in arrears on
the last Business Day of each calendar quarter based upon the daily  utilization
for that quarter as calculated by the Administrative  Agent, at a rate per annum
specified for the  Commitment fee in the  definition of Applicable  Amount.  The
Commitment  Fee shall be in  effect  from the date the most  recent  certificate
delivered pursuant to Section 4.1(g) or 6.2(a) is received by the Administrative
Agent to but excluding the date the next such certificate is received; provided;
however,  that if the Company fails to timely deliver the next such certificate,
the Commitment Fee from the date such  certificate  was due to but excluding the
date such certificate is received by the  Administrative  Agent (the "Commitment
Delinquent  Period")  shall be the higher of (a) the  Commitment  Fee already in
effect  and  (b) the  Commitment  Fee as set  forth  in  such  certificate  when
received,  retroactively  applied  to the  Commitment  Delinquent  Period.  Such
commitment fee shall accrue from the Closing Date to the Maturity and shall be

                                                        49

<PAGE>



due and payable  quarterly  in arrears on the last  Business Day of each quarter
commencing  December 31, 1996, with the final payment to be made on the Maturity
Date; provided that, in connection with the termination of Commitments  pursuant
to Section 2.6 or Section 2.8(a),  the accrued commitment fee calculated for the
period  ending on such date shall  also be paid on the date of the  termination.
The commitment fees provided in this Section shall accrue at all times after the
above-mentioned  commencement  date,  including  at any time during which one or
more conditions in Section 4 are not met.

               (c)  Agency Fee.  The Company shall pay to the
Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent's own account
an agency fee in the amount and at the times as agreed upon in
writing between the Company and the Administrative Agent.

          2.12  Computation of Fees and Interest.

               (a) All  computations of interest payable in respect of Base Rate
Loans at all times as the Base Rate is  determined  by BofA's  "reference  rate"
shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and
actual days  elapsed.  All other  computations  of fees and interest  under this
Agreement  shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed,
which  results in more  interest  being paid than if  computed on the basis of a
365-day  year.  Interest and fees shall accrue  during each period  during which
interest  or such fees are  computed  from the first day thereof to the last day
thereof.

               (b) The  Administrative  Agent will, with reasonable  promptness,
notify the Company  and the Banks of each  determination  of an  Offshore  Rate;
provided  that any  failure  to do so  shall  not  relieve  the  Company  of any
liability   hereunder   or  provide   the  basis  for  any  claim   against  the
Administrative Agent. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a
change in the Applicable  Amount or Eurodollar  Reserve  Percentage shall become
effective  as of the  opening of business on the day on which such change in the
Applicable  Amount or  Eurodollar  Reserve  Percentage  becomes  effective.  The
Administrative Agent will with reasonable  promptness notify the Company and the
Banks of the  effective  date and the amount of each such change,  provided that
any failure to do so shall not relieve the Company of any liability hereunder or
provide the basis for any claim against

                                                        50

the Administrative Agent.

               (c) Any change in the interest  rate on a Loan  resulting  from a
change in the Applicable  Amount or Eurodollar  Reserve  Percentage shall become
effective  as of the  opening of business on the day on which such change in the
Applicable  Amount or Eurodollar  Reserve  Percentage  becomes  effective.  Each
determination  of an interest rate by the  Administrative  Agent pursuant hereto
shall be  conclusive  and binding on the Company and the Banks in the absence of
manifest error.

          2.13  Payments by the Company.

               (a) All payments of principal,  interest and fees hereunder shall
be in immediately  available funds and delivered to the Administrative Agent for
credit to:

                    Bank of America National Trust
                    and Savings Association
                    Att: Agency Administrative Services #5596
                    ABA No. 121-000-358
                    Bancontrol Account No. 12332-14226
                    Reference:  Cinemark USA, Inc.

not later than 11:00 A.M. (San  Francisco  time) on the date due; funds received
by the Administrative Agent after that time shall be deemed to have been paid by
the Company on the next succeeding Business Day.

               (b) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a
day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business  Day, and such  extension of time shall in such case be included in the
computation  of interest or fees, as the case may be;  subject to the provisions
set forth in the definition of "Interest Period" herein.

               (c) Unless the  Administrative  Agent shall have received  notice
from the  Company  prior to the date on which  any  payment  is due to the Banks
hereunder  that  the  Company  will not make  such  payment  in full as and when
required  hereunder,  the  Administrative  Agent may assume that the Company has
made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date in

                                                        51

<PAGE>



immediately  available funds and the Administrative  Agent may (but shall not be
so required), in reliance upon such assumption,  cause to be distributed to each
Bank on such due date an amount  equal to the amount then due such Bank.  If and
to the  extent  the  Company  shall not have made  such  payment  in full to the
Administrative  Agent,  each Bank  shall  repay to the  Administrative  Agent on
demand such amount distributed to such Bank,  together with interest thereon for
each day from the date such  amount is  distributed  to such Bank until the date
such Bank repays such amount to the  Administrative  Agent, at the Federal Funds
Rate as in effect for each such day.

          2.14  Payments by the Banks to the Administrative
Agent.

               (a) Unless the  Administrative  Agent shall have received  notice
from a Bank on the Closing  Date or, with  respect to each  Borrowing  after the
Closing Date, by 9:30 a.m.  (San  Francisco  time) (i) one Business Day prior to
the date of any proposed  Borrowing of Offshore Rate Loans,  or (ii) on the date
of any  proposed  Borrowing  of Base  Rate  Loans  that  such Bank will not make
available to the  Administrative  Agent as and when  required  hereunder for the
account  of the  Company  the  amount  of that  Bank's  Pro  Rata  Share  of the
Borrowing,  the  Administrative  Agent may  assume  that each Bank has made such
amount available to the Administrative  Agent in immediately  available funds on
the  Borrowing  date  and the  Administrative  Agent  may (but  shall  not be so
required),  in reliance upon such  assumption,  make available to the Company on
such date a corresponding  amount.  If and to the extent any Bank shall not have
made  its full  amount  available  to the  Administrative  Agent in  immediately
available  funds and the  Administrative  Agent in such  circumstances  has made
available to the Company such amount,  that Bank shall on the next  Business Day
following  the  date  of  such  Borrowing  make  such  amount  available  to the
Administrative  Agent,  together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for and
determined  as of each day during such  period.  A notice of the  Administrative
Agent  submitted  to any Bank with  respect to amounts  owing under this Section
2.14(a) shall be conclusive,  absent  manifest  error. If such amount is so made
available, such payment to the Administrative Agent shall constitute such Bank's
Loan on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount
is not made  available  to the  Administrative  Agent on the next  Business  Day
following

                                                        52

<PAGE>



the date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of
such failure to fund and, upon demand by the  Administrative  Agent, the Company
shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent's
account,  together with interest  thereon for each day elapsed since the date of
such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the
time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.

               (b) The  failure  of any  Bank to make  any  Loan on any  date of
borrowing shall not relieve any other Bank of any obligation hereunder to make a
Loan on the date of such  borrowing,  but no Bank shall be  responsible  for the
failure  of any other Bank to make the Loan to be made by such other Bank on the
date of any Borrowing.

          2.15  Sharing of Payments,  Etc. If, other than as expressly  provided
elsewhere  herein,  any Bank shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it any
payment (whether  voluntary,  involuntary,  through the exercise of any right of
set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its Pro Rata Share of payments on account of
the Loans  obtained by all the Banks,  such Bank shall  forthwith (a) notify the
Administrative  Agent of such fact,  and (b) purchase  from the other Banks such
participations  in the Loans  made by them as shall be  necessary  to cause such
purchasing Bank to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided,
however,  that  if all or any  portion  of such  excess  payment  is  thereafter
recovered  from the  purchasing  Bank,  such  purchase  shall to that  extent be
rescinded  and each other Bank shall repay to the  purchasing  Bank the purchase
price paid  therefor,  together  with an amount equal to such paying  Bank's Pro
Rata Share  (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Bank's
required  repayment to (ii) the total amount so  recovered  from the  purchasing
Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing  Bank in
respect of the total amount so  recovered.  The Company  agrees that any Bank so
purchasing a participation  from another Bank pursuant to this Section 2.15 may,
to the  fullest  extent  permitted  by law,  exercise  all its rights of payment
(including  the right of set-off,  but subject to Section  10.9) with respect to
such  participation  as fully as if such Bank were the  direct  creditor  of the
Company in the amount of such participation.  The Administrative Agent will keep
records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of

                                                        53

             TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

          3.1  Taxes.

               (a)  Subject  to  Section  3.1(g),  any and all  payments  by the
Company to each Bank or the  Administrative  Agent under this Agreement shall be
made free and clear of, and without  deduction or  withholding  for, any and all
present or future taxes, levies, imposts,  deductions,  charges or withholdings,
and all liabilities  with respect thereto,  excluding,  in the case of each Bank
and the  Administrative  Agent,  such taxes (including income taxes or franchise
taxes)  as  are  imposed  on or  measured  by  each  Bank's  net  income  by the
jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank or the  Administrative  Agent, as
the case may be, is  organized or  maintains a Lending  Office or any  political
subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies,  imposts,  deductions,
charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes").

               (b) In  addition,  the  Company  shall pay any  present or future
stamp or  documentary  taxes or any other excise or property  taxes,  charges or
similar  levies  which  arise  from  any  payment  made  hereunder  or from  the
execution,  delivery or  registration  of, or  otherwise  with  respect to, this
Agreement  or any  other  Loan  Documents  (hereinafter  referred  to as  "Other
Taxes").

               (c) Subject to Section  3.1(g),  the Company shall  indemnify and
hold  harmless  each Bank and the  Administrative  Agent for the full  amount of
Taxes  or Other  Taxes  (including  any  Taxes or  Other  Taxes  imposed  by any
jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.1) paid by such Bank or the

Administrative Agent and any liability (including penalties, interest, additions
to tax and expenses) arising  therefrom or with respect thereto,  whether or not
such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted,  provided that, in
the case of penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses, such Bank or the
Administrative  Agent has timely notified the Company after it has been notified
of its liability for such amounts.  Payment under this indemnification  shall be
made  within 30 days from the date the Bank or the  Administrative  Agent  makes
written demand therefor.

               (d) If the Company shall be required by law to deduct or withhold
any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable  hereunder to any
Bank or the  Administrative  Agent, then, subject to Section 3.1(g): (i) the sum
payable  shall be  increased  as  necessary  so that after  making all  required
deductions  (including  deductions  applicable to additional  sums payable under
this Section  3.1) such Bank or the  Administrative  Agent,  as the case may be,
receives  an  amount  equal  to the  sum it  would  have  received  had no  such
deductions been made; (ii) the Company shall make such deductions, and (iii) the
Company shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or
other authority in accordance with applicable law.

               (e) Within 30 days after the date of any  payment by the  Company
of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Company shall furnish to the  Administrative  Agent
the original or a certified copy of a receipt  evidencing  payment  thereof,  or
other evidence of payment satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

               (f) Each Bank which is a foreign  person  (i.e.,  a person  other
than a United  States  person for United  States  Federal  income tax  purposes)
agrees that: (i) it shall,  no later than the Closing Date (or, in the case of a
Bank which  becomes a party  hereto  pursuant to Section  10.8 after the Closing
Date,  the date upon  which  the Bank  becomes a party  hereto)  deliver  to the
Company  through the  Administrative  Agent two  accurate  and  complete  signed
originals of Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 or any successor  thereto ("Form
4224"),  or two  accurate  and complete  signed  originals  of Internal  Revenue
Service Form 1001 or any successor  thereto ("Form 1001"),  as  appropriate,  in
each case indicating that the Bank is on the date of delivery  thereof  entitled
to receive payments of principal, interest and fees

                                                        55

under this Agreement free from  withholding of United States Federal income tax;
(ii) if at any time the Bank makes any changes  necessitating a new Form 4224 or
Form 1001, it shall with  reasonable  promptness  deliver to the Company through
the  Administrative  Agent in  replacement  for,  or in  addition  to, the forms
previously delivered by it hereunder, two accurate and complete signed originals
of Form 4224;  or two accurate and complete  signed  originals of Form 1001,  as
appropriate,  in each case  indicating  that the Bank is on the date of delivery
thereof entitled to receive payments of principal,  interest and fees under this
Agreement  free from  withholding  of United States Federal income tax; (iii) it
shall,  before or promptly  after the  occurrence  of any event  (including  the
passing of time but  excluding  any event  mentioned in (ii) above)  requiring a
change in or  renewal  of the most  recent  Form  4224 or Form  1001  previously
delivered by such Bank, deliver to the Company through the Administrative  Agent
two accurate and complete  original  signed  copies of Form 4224 or Form 1001 in
replacement for the forms  previously  delivered by the Bank; and (iv) it shall,
promptly upon the Company's or the Administrative  Agent's reasonable request to
that effect, deliver to the Company or the Administrative Agent (as the case may
be) such other forms or similar  documentation  as may be required  from time to
time by any  applicable  law,  treaty,  rule or regulation in order to establish
such Bank's tax status for withholding purposes.

               (g) The  Company  will  not be  required  to pay  any  additional
amounts in respect  of United  States  Federal  income tax  pursuant  to Section
3.1(d)  to any Bank for the  account  of any  Lending  Office of such Bank or to
indemnify any Bank pursuant to Section 3.1(c): (i) if the obligation to pay such
additional  amounts  would not have  arisen  but for a  failure  by such Bank to
comply with its  obligations  under  Section  3.1(f) in respect of such  Lending
Office;  (ii) if such Bank shall have  delivered  to the  Company a Form 4224 in
respect of such Lending Office pursuant to Section 3.1(f),  and such Bank at any
time shall not be entitled to exemption  from deduction or withholding of United
States  Federal  income tax in respect of payments by the Company  hereunder for
the account of such Lending  Office for any reason other than a change in United
States  law or  regulations  or in the  official  interpretation  of such law or
regulations by any governmental  authority  charged with the  interpretation  or
administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law)

                                                        56

after the date of  delivery  of such Form 4224;  or (iii) if the Bank shall have
delivered to the Company a Form 1001 in respect of such Lending Office  pursuant
to Section 3.1(f),  and such Bank at any time shall not be entitled to exemption
from  deduction or withholding of United States Federal income tax in respect of
payments by the Company hereunder for the account of such Lending Office for any
reason other than a change in United States law or regulations or any applicable
tax treaty or  regulations  or in the official  interpretation  of any such law,
treaty  or  regulations  by  any   governmental   authority   charged  with  the
interpretation  or  administration  thereof  (whether or not having the force of
law) after the date of delivery of such Form 1001.

               (h) If, at any time, the Company requests any Bank to deliver any
forms or other documentation  pursuant to Section  3.1(f)(iv),  then the Company
shall, on demand of such Bank through the Administrative  Agent,  reimburse such
Bank for any costs and expenses (including expenses of outside legal counsel and
the allocated costs of in-house counsel) reasonably incurred by such Bank in the
preparation or delivery of such forms or other documentation.

               (i) If the Company is required to pay  additional  amounts to any
Bank or the  Administrative  Agent  pursuant to Section  3.1(d),  then such Bank
shall use its  reasonable  best efforts  (consistent  with legal and  regulatory
restrictions)  to  change  the  jurisdiction  of  its  Lending  Office  so as to
eliminate any such additional payment by the Company which may thereafter accrue
if such change in the judgment of such Bank is not otherwise  disadvantageous to
such Bank.

          3.2  Illegality.

               (a) If any Bank shall reasonably  determine that the introduction
of any  Requirement  of Law, or any change in any  Requirement  of Law or in the
interpretation  or  administration  thereof,  has made it unlawful,  or that any
central bank or other  Governmental  Authority has asserted that it is unlawful,
for any Bank or its Lending Office to make Offshore Rate Loans,  then, on notice
thereof  by the  Bank to the  Company  through  the  Administrative  Agent,  the
obligation of that Bank to make Offshore Rate Loans shall be suspended until the
Bank shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Company that the

                                                        57

circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exists.

               (b) If a Bank shall determine that it is unlawful to maintain any
Offshore Rate Loan,  the Company  shall be deemed to have  converted in full all
Offshore Rate Loans of that Bank then outstanding into Base Rate Loans either on
the last day of the Interest Period thereof if the Bank may lawfully continue to
maintain such Offshore Rate Loans to such day, or  immediately,  if the Bank may
not  lawfully  continue to maintain  such  Offshore  Rate Loans.  At the time of
conversion,  the Company shall pay all interest accrued  thereon,  together with
any amounts required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to Section 3.4.

               (c) If the  obligation  of any Bank to make or maintain  Offshore
Rate Loans has been  terminated,  the Company may elect, by giving notice to the
Bank through the  Administrative  Agent that all Loans which would  otherwise be
made by the Bank as, or  converted  into,  Offshore  Rate Loans shall be instead
Base Rate Loans.

               (d) Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant
to this  Section  3.2, the  affected  Bank shall  designate a different  Lending
Office with respect to its Offshore  Rate Loans if such  designation  will avoid
the need for giving  such  notice or making  such  demand  and will not,  in the
judgment of the Bank, be illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to the Bank.

          3.3  Increased  Costs and  Reduction of Return.  (a) If any Bank shall
reasonably  determine that, due to either (i) the  introduction of or any change
in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with
any guideline or request of general applicability from any central bank or other
Governmental  Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be
any increase in the cost to such Bank of agreeing to make or making,  funding or
maintaining  any Offshore  Rate Loans  (except for changes in the rate of tax on
the overall net income of such Bank  imposed by the  jurisdiction  in which such
Bank's  principal  executive  office or  Lending  Office is  located),  then the
Company shall be liable for, and shall from time to time,  upon demand  therefor
by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to the  Administrative  Agent),  pay to
such Bank, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Bank for such
increased

                                                        58

costs.

               (b) If  any  Bank  shall  have  reasonably  determined  that  the
introduction  of any applicable  law,  rule,  regulation or guideline of general
applicability regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or any change in
the  interpretation  or  administration  thereof  by any  central  bank or other
Governmental   Authority  charged  with  the  interpretation  or  administration
thereof,  or compliance by the Bank (or its Lending  Office) or any  corporation
controlling  the Bank,  with any  request,  guideline  or  directive  of general
applicability  regarding  capital  adequacy  (whether or not having the force of
law) of any such central bank or other  authority  issued after the date hereof,
affects  or would  affect  the  amount of capital  required  or  expected  to be
maintained by the Bank or any corporation  controlling the Bank and (taking into
consideration such Bank's or such corporation's policies with respect to capital
adequacy and such Bank's desired return on capital)  determines  that the amount
of  such  Bank's  capital  is  increased  as a  consequence  of its  obligations
hereunder,  then, upon demand of such Bank, the Company shall immediately pay to
the  Bank,  from  time to time as  specified  by the  Bank,  additional  amounts
sufficient to compensate the Bank for such increase.

          3.4 Funding  Losses.  The Company agrees to reimburse each Bank and to
hold each Bank  harmless  from any loss or expense which the Bank may sustain or
incur  (excluding  the loss of  anticipated  profits)  from the  liquidation  or
reemployment  of funds  obtained  by it to  maintain  its  Offshore  Rate  Loans
hereunder or from fees payable to terminate  the deposits  from which such funds
were  obtained as a  consequence  of: (a) the failure of the Company to make any
prepayment  of principal of any Offshore  Rate Loan or to make any payment after
any acceleration  thereof;  (b) the failure of the Company to borrow or continue
an Offshore Rate Loan or convert a Base Rate Loan to an Offshore Rate Loan after
the Company has given (or is deemed to have  given) a Notice of  Borrowing  or a
Notice of Conversion/  Continuation;  (c) the failure of the Company to make any
prepayment  of an  Offshore  Rate Loan after the  Company  has given a notice in
accordance with Section 2.7; or (d) the prepayment of an Offshore Rate Loan on a
day  which is not the last day of the  Interest  Period  with  respect  thereto.
Solely for purposes of calculating  amounts  payable by the Company to the Banks
under

                                                        59

<PAGE>



this  Section  3.4,  each  Offshore  Rate Loan made by a Bank (and each  related
reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to
have been funded at the LIBOR (as defined in the definition of "Offshore  Rate")
used in determining  the Offshore Rate for such Offshore Rate Loan by a matching
deposit or other borrowing in the interbank  eurodollar  market for a comparable
amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Offshore Rate Loan is in
fact so funded.

          3.5  Inability to Determine  Rates.  If the Majority  Banks shall have
determined  that for any reason  adequate and reasonable  means do not exist for
ascertaining the Offshore Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to
a proposed Offshore Rate Loan or if the Majority Banks advise the Administrative
Agent that the Offshore Rate  applicable for any requested  Interest Period with
respect to a proposed  Offshore Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect
the cost to them of funding  such Loan,  they  shall  notify the  Administrative
Agent who will  forthwith give notice of such  determination  to the Company and
each Bank.  Thereafter,  the obligation of the Banks to make Offshore Rate Loans
hereunder shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent upon the instruction
of the  Majority  Banks  revokes  such notice in writing.  Upon  receipt of such
notice,  the Company may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/
Continuation  then  submitted  by it. If the Company does not revoke such notice
with respect to Loans,  the Banks shall make,  convert or continue the Loans, as
proposed  by the  Company,  in the amount  specified  in the  applicable  notice
submitted by the Company,  but such Loans shall be made,  converted or continued
as Base Rate Loans instead of Offshore Rate Loans.

          3.6 Survival.  The agreements  and  obligations of the Company in this
Section 3 shall  survive  the  payment  of all other  Obligations.  Any claim or
demand by any Bank for  reimbursement or compensation  under this Section 3 must
be made in writing; provided,  however, that no such claim or demand may be made
in respect of any expense, cost, or economic loss incurred or suffered more than
12 months prior to the date of such claim or demand.

thereunder,  (b)  routine  corporate  filings to  maintain  the  corporate  good
standing of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, and (c) with respect to
the  Recapitalization   Agreements,   such  approvals,   consents,   exemptions,
authorizations,  notices or filings which will have been obtained or taken prior
to the consummation of the Recapitalization.

          5.4 Binding  Effect.  This  Agreement  and each other Loan Document to
which the  Company or any  Pledgor is a party  constitute  the legal,  valid and
binding  obligations of the Company and such Pledgor,  enforceable  against such
Person in accordance with their respective terms,  except as enforceability  may
be limited by applicable bankruptcy,  insolvency,  or similar laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally or by equitable  principles  relating
to enforceability.

          5.5 Litigation.  There are no actions, suits,  proceedings,  claims or
disputes   pending,   or  to  the  knowledge  of  the  Company,   threatened  or
contemplated,  at law,  in equity,  in  arbitration  or before any  Governmental
Authority,  against the Company, or its Restricted  Subsidiaries or any of their
respective Properties which: (a) purport to affect or pertain to this Agreement,
or any other Loan Document,  or any of the transactions  contemplated  hereby or
thereby;  (b) purport to affect or pertain to the  Recapitalization or any other
transaction contemplated in connection with the Recapitalization  Agreements and
related  documents;  or (c) if  determined  adversely  to  the  Company,  or its
Restricted Subsidiaries, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.  No injunction,  writ,  temporary  restraining order or any order of any
nature has been issued by any court or other Governmental  Authority  purporting
to enjoin or restrain the execution,  delivery and performance of this Agreement
or any other Loan  Document,  or directing  that the  transactions  provided for
herein or therein not be consummated as herein or therein provided.

          5.6  No Default.  No Default or Event of Default exists
or would result from the incurring of any Obligations by the
Company or the grant or perfection of the Administrative Agent's

                                                        65

Liens  on the  Collateral.  Neither  the  Company  nor  any  of  its  Restricted
Subsidiaries  has received notice or has actual  knowledge that it is in default
under or with  respect  to any  Contractual  Obligation  in any  respect  which,
individually or together with all such defaults, could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

          5.7 ERISA Compliance.  (a) Schedule 5.7 lists all Plans and separately
identifies Plans intended to be Qualified Plans and  Multiemployer  Plans.  Each
Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of
ERISA, the Code and other Federal or state law, including all requirements under
the Code or ERISA for filing reports (which are true and correct in all material
respects as of the date filed),  and benefits have been paid in accordance  with
the provisions of the Plan. Each Qualified Plan and Multiemployer  Plan has been
determined by the IRS to qualify  under Section 401 of the Code,  and the trusts
created  thereunder  have  been  determined  to be  exempt  from tax  under  the
provisions  of Section  501 of the Code,  and to the  knowledge  of the  Company
nothing  has  occurred  which  would  cause  the loss of such  qualification  or
tax-exempt status.

          (b) There is no  outstanding  liability  under  Title IV of ERISA with
respect  to any  Plan  maintained  or  sponsored  by the  Company  or any  ERISA
Affiliate,  nor with  respect  to any Plan to which  the  Company  or any  ERISA
Affiliate contributes or is obligated to contribute. No Plan subject to Title IV
of ERISA has any Unfunded Pension  Liability.  No member of the Controlled Group
has ever represented,  promised or contracted  (whether in oral or written form)
to any current or former  employee  (either  individually  or to  employees as a
group) that such current or former employee(s) would be provided, at any cost to
any member of the Controlled Group, with life insurance or employee welfare plan
benefits (within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA)  following  retirement or
termination of employment. To the extent that any member of the Controlled Group
has made any such representation, promise or contract, such member has expressly
reserved the right to amend or terminate such life insurance or employee welfare
plan benefits with respect to claims not yet incurred. Members of the Controlled
Group have complied in all material  respects  with the notice and  continuation
coverage requirements of Section 4980B of the Code.


                                                        66

<PAGE>



               (c) No ERISA  Event has  occurred  or is  reasonably  expected to
occur with respect to any Plan. There are no pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company,  threatened claims, actions or lawsuits,  other than routine claims for
benefits in the usual and ordinary  course,  asserted or instituted  against (i)
any Plan  maintained or sponsored by the Company or its assets,  (ii) any member
of the  Controlled  Group  with  respect  to any  Qualified  Plan,  or (iii) any
fiduciary  with  respect to any Plan for which the  Company  may be  directly or
indirectly liable, through indemnification obligations or otherwise.

               (d) Neither the Company nor any ERISA  Affiliate has incurred nor
reasonably  expects to incur (i) any liability (and no event has occurred which,
with the giving of notice  under  Section  4219 of ERISA,  would  result in such
liability)  under Section 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a  Multiemployer
Plan or (ii) any liability  under Title IV of ERISA (other than premiums due and
not delinquent under Section 4007 of ERISA) with respect to a Plan.  Neither the
Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has transferred any Unfunded  Pension  Liability
to a Person other than the Company or an ERISA Affiliate or otherwise engaged in
a  transaction  that could be subject  to Section  4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA.  No
member of the  Controlled  Group  has  engaged,  directly  or  indirectly,  in a
non-exempt  prohibited  transaction  (as defined in Section  4975 of the Code or
Section  406 of ERISA) in  connection  with any Plan which could  reasonably  be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          5.8 Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Loans are intended to be and
shall be used  solely for the  purposes  set forth in and  permitted  by Section
6.11, and are intended to be and shall be used in compliance with Section 7.7.

          5.9  Title to  Properties.  The  Company  and  each of its  Restricted
Subsidiaries  has good record and  marketable (or  indefeasible  in the State of
Texas)  title in fee  simple  to,  or valid  leasehold  interests  in,  all real
Property  necessary or used in the ordinary conduct of its business,  except for
such defects in title as could not,  individually  or in the  aggregate,  have a
Material Adverse Effect. As of the Closing Date, the Property of the Company and
its Restricted  Subsidiaries is subject to no Liens,  other than as permitted by
Section 7.1.


                                                        67

          5.10 Taxes. The Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries have filed all
Federal and other  material  tax returns and reports  required to be filed,  and
have paid all  Federal and other  material  taxes,  assessments,  fees and other
governmental charges levied or imposed upon them or their Properties,  income or
assets that are due pursuant to such  returns or reports  before any such taxes,
assessments, fees or other charges became delinquent or any penalty accrued with
respect  thereto,  except  those  which are  being  contested  in good  faith by
appropriate  proceedings  and for which adequate  reserves have been provided in
accordance with GAAP and no Notice of Lien has been filed or recorded.  There is
no  proposed  tax  assessment  against  the  Company  or any  of its  Restricted
Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to, if the assessment were made,
have a Material Adverse Effect.

          5.11  Financial Condition.

               (a) The audited  consolidated  financial  statements of financial
condition of the Company and its  Subsidiaries  dated December 31, 1995, and the
related  consolidated  statements of operations,  shareholders'  equity and cash
flows for the fiscal year ended on that date:  (i) were  prepared in  accordance
with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby,  except as
otherwise  expressly noted therein;  (ii) fairly present the financial condition
of the  Company  and its  Subsidiaries  as of the date  thereof  and  results of
operations  for  the  period  covered  thereby;  and  (iii)  show  all  material
indebtedness and other liabilities,  direct or contingent of the Company and its
consolidated  Subsidiaries  as of the date thereof,  including  liabilities  for
taxes,  material commitments and Contingent  Obligations that are required to be
included on the Company's  consolidated  financial statements in accordance with
GAAP.

               (b) Since December 31, 1995,  there has been no event which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          5.12  Environmental Matters.

               (a)  The  on-going  operations  of the  Company  and  each of its
Restricted  Subsidiaries  comply in all respects  with all  Environmental  Laws,
except such non-compliance which would

                                                        68

<PAGE>



not (if enforced in accordance  with  applicable  law) result in liability which
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The Company and
each  of  its  Restricted  Subsidiaries  has  obtained  all  licenses,  permits,
authorizations   and   registrations   required  under  any   Environmental  Law
("Environmental Permits") and necessary for its ordinary course operations,  all
such Environmental Permits are in good standing, and the Company and each of its
Restricted  Subsidiaries is in compliance with all material terms and conditions
of such Environmental Permits.

               (b) To the knowledge of the Company,  none of the Company, any of
its  Restricted  Subsidiaries  or any of their  respective  present  Property or
operations  is  subject  to any  outstanding  material  written  order  from  or
agreement  with any  Governmental  Authority  nor  subject  to any  judicial  or
docketed   administrative   proceeding,   respecting  any   Environmental   Law,
Environmental Claim or Hazardous  Material.  There are no Hazardous Materials or
other  conditions or  circumstances  existing  with respect to any Property,  or
arising from operations  prior to the Closing Date, of the Company or any of its
Restricted  Subsidiaries  that  would  reasonably  be  expected  to give rise to
Environmental  Claims  with  a  potential  liability  of  the  Company  and  its
Restricted  Subsidiaries  that could  reasonably  be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect for any such condition,  circumstance  or Property.  In addition,
(i) neither the Company's  nor any of its  Restricted  Subsidiaries'  Properties
have any  underground  storage  tanks (x) that are not  properly  registered  or
permitted  under  applicable  Environmental  Laws,  or (y) that are  leaking  or
disposing  of  Hazardous  Materials  off-site  in an amount  that would  require
remediation under Environmental Laws, and (ii) to the Company's actual knowledge
the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries have notified all of their employees
of the  existence,  if any, of any health hazard  arising from the conditions of
their employment and have met all notification  requirements  under Title III of
CERCLA and all other Environmental Laws.

          5.13  Capital Stock; Pledge Agreements.  (a) Prior to
the Recapitalization Date:

                    (i)  the issued and outstanding capital stock
          of the Company consists of Class A Common Stock and

                                                        69

<PAGE>



          Class B Common Stock.  Subject to any  statutory  voting  rights,  all
          presently   exercisable  voting  rights  in  the  Company  are  vested
          exclusively in its  outstanding  shares of Class A Common Stock,  each
          share of which is entitled to one vote on every  matter to come before
          the shareholders. Subject to any contractual limitations applicable to
          the holders thereof, each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible
          at any time,  at the option of the holder  thereof,  into one share of
          Class  A  Common  Stock.  To the  Company's  knowledge,  there  are no
          existing  options,   warrants,   shareholder   agreements,   calls  or
          commitments of any character whatsoever relating to any of the Pledged
          Collateral other than the Shareholders' Agreement; and

                    (ii) the Pledged Collateral  constitutes all the outstanding
          capital stock of the Company owned by the Mitchell Family and not less
          than  50% of the  Class A  Common  Stock  of the  Company  issued  and
          outstanding  and a majority of all capital stock of the Company issued
          and  outstanding.  As of the  Closing  Date,  the  Pledged  Collateral
          includes all of the Voting Stock.

               (b)  From  and  after  the  Recapitalization  Date,  the  Pledged
Collateral  constitutes all the outstanding  capital stock of the Company issued
and outstanding, and there will be no options, warrants, shareholder agreements,
calls or commitments of any character  whatsoever relating to any of the Pledged
Collateral.

               (c) At all times the provisions of the Pledge  Agreements are, or
will be upon  execution,  effective  to create,  in favor of the  Administrative
Agent for the  benefit of the Banks,  a legal,  valid and  enforceable  security
interest in all of the Collateral  described therein; and the Pledged Collateral
was delivered to the Administrative  Agent or its nominee in accordance with the
terms thereof. The Lien of the Pledge Agreement  constitutes a perfected,  first
priority security interest in all right, title and interest of the Pledgor(s) in
the  Collateral  described  therein,  prior and  superior to all other Liens and
interests.

          5.14  Regulated Entities.  None of the Company, any

                                                        70

ability to incur Indebtedness.

          5.15 No  Burdensome  Restrictions.  Neither the Company nor any of its
Restricted  Subsidiaries  is a party to or bound by any  Contractual  Obligation
(other than this  Agreement,  the Senior  Subordinated  Note  Indenture  and the
Senior Note Indenture),  or subject to any charter or corporate restriction,  or
any  Requirement of Law,  which could  reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

          5.16  Solvency.  The Company is Solvent.

          5.17 Labor  Relations.  There are no strikes,  lockouts or other labor
disputes against the Company or any of its Restricted  Subsidiaries,  or, to the
Company's  knowledge,  threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its
Restricted  Subsidiaries,  and no significant unfair labor practice complaint is
pending  against the Company or any of its  Restricted  Subsidiaries  or, to the
knowledge of the Company, threatened against any of them before any Governmental
Authority,  in each case,  which could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

          5.18 Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks and Licenses, etc. The Company or
its Restricted  Subsidiaries  own or are licensed or otherwise have the right to
use all of the patents,  trademarks,  service  marks,  trade names,  copyrights,
franchises,  authorizations  and other rights that are material to the operation
of their  respective  businesses,  without conflict with the rights of any other
Person. To the knowledge of the Company,  no slogan or other advertising device,
product, process, method, substance, part or other material now employed, or now
contemplated to be employed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
infringes  upon any  rights  held by any other  Person;  no claim or  litigation
regarding  any of the  foregoing  is pending or to the  knowledge of the Company
threatened, and no patent, invention, device, application,

                                                        71

principle  or any statute,  law,  rule,  regulation,  standard or code is to the
knowledge of the Company  pending or  proposed,  which,  in either  case,  could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          5.19  Insurance.  The  Properties  of the Company  and its  Restricted
Subsidiaries  are  insured  with  financially  sound  and  reputable   insurance
companies  or  self-insured  (including  insurance  through  a  related  captive
insurance  company),  in such amounts,  with such  deductibles and covering such
risks as the Company believes is adequate in character and amount.

          5.20 Senior Notes. Each of the documents  relating to the Senior Notes

has incurred any outstanding  obligations  under any Swap Contracts,  other than
Permitted  Swap  Obligations.  The Company has  undertaken  its own  independent
assessment of its  consolidated  assets,  liabilities  and  commitments  and has
considered  appropriate  means of mitigating and managing risks  associated with
such matters and has not relied on any swap counterparty or any Affiliate of any
swap counterparty in determining whether to enter into any Swap Contract.

          5.23 Full Disclosure.  None of the  representations or warranties made
by the Company in the Loan  Documents  as of the date such  representations  and
warranties are made or deemed made, and none of the statements contained in each
report or  certificate  (including  any exhibits to such report or  certificate)
furnished by or on behalf of the Company or any of its  Restricted  Subsidiaries
in  connection  with the Loan  Documents,  contains  any untrue  statement  of a
material fact or

consolidated Subsidiary's records; and

judgments,  orders or decrees shall be entered against the Company or any of its

reason  (other  than  pursuant  to the  terms  thereof)  cease to create a valid
security  interest in the  Collateral  purported  to be covered  thereby or such
security  interest  shall  for any  reason  cease to be a  perfected  and  first
priority security interest, and if, in either case, such cessation is the result
of a change in law, such cessation  shall continue for 10 days after the earlier

have known of such  cessation or (ii) the date upon which written notice thereof
is given to the Company by the Administrative Agent or any Bank; or

               (m)  Loan  Documents.  The  Loan  Agreement,   Notes,  Subsidiary

for any reason other than the agreement of the Banks or  satisfaction in full of
all the  Obligations,  ceases to be in full force and effect or is declared by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be null and void, invalid or unenforceable in
any respect which, in any such event in the reasonable  opinion of the Banks, is
materially adverse to the

interests of the Banks; or the Company or any Subsidiary  Guarantor  denies that
it has any or  further  liability  or  obligation  under any Loan  Document,  or
purports to revoke,  terminate or rescind same; or any Event of Default (as such
term is or may  hereafter be  specifically  defined in any other Loan  Document)
occurs under any other Loan Document; or

               (n)  Adverse Change.  There shall occur a Material
Adverse Effect; or

               (o)  Change of Control.

                    (i)  Prior to the  Recapitalization  Date:  (A) a Change  in
          Control Event or (B) the failure of the Mitchell  Family (1) to own at
          least 50% of all issued and  outstanding  Voting Stock of the Company,
          and such default shall  continue  unremedied  for a period of 30 days,
          (2) to own a majority of all issued and  outstanding  Capital Stock of
          the Company at all times,  or (3) to have designated a majority of the
          Board of Directors of the Company, or

                    (ii) from and after the Recapitalization  Date: (A) a Change
          in  Control  Event  (excluding  the  Recapitalization  as a Change  in
          Control Event itself),  (B) the failure of the Mitchell  Family (1) to
          own at least 50% of all Voting Stock of the Holding Company,  and such

          beneficially own all the outstanding Capital Stock of the Company.

          8.2 Remedies.  If any Event of Default occurs and is  continuing,  the
Administrative  Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the
Majority  Banks,  (a)  declare the  Commitment  of each Bank to make Loans to be
terminated,  whereupon  such  Commitments  and  obligations  shall  forthwith be
terminated;  (b) declare the unpaid principal  amount of all outstanding  Loans,
all interest accrued and unpaid thereon,  and all other amounts owing or payable
hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be

                                                        100

immediately  due and  payable;  without  presentment,  demand,  protest or other
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company; and
(c) exercise on behalf of itself and the Banks all rights and remedies available
to it and the Banks  under  the Loan  Documents  or  applicable  law;  provided,
however, that upon the occurrence of any event specified in paragraph (g) or (h)
of  Section  8.1  above  (in the case of clause  (i) of  paragraph  (h) upon the
expiration of the 60-day period mentioned therein),  the obligation of each Bank
to make Loans shall  automatically  terminate and the unpaid principal amount of
all  outstanding  Loans and all  interest and other  amounts as aforesaid  shall
automatically  become due and payable without further act of the  Administrative
Agent or any Bank.

          8.3 Rights Not  Exclusive.  The rights  provided for in this Agreement
and the other Loan  Documents are  cumulative and are not exclusive of any other
rights,  powers,  privileges or remedies  provided by law or in equity, or under
any other instrument, document or agreement now existing or hereafter arising.


                            SECTION 9

                           THE AGENTS

          9.1  Appointment  and  Authorization.  Each  Bank  hereby  irrevocably
appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action
on its  behalf  under the  provisions  of this  Agreement  and each  other  Loan
Document and to exercise  such powers and perform  such duties as are  expressly
delegated  to it by the  terms of this  Agreement  or any other  Loan  Document,
together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary  contained  elsewhere in this  Agreement or in any
other  Loan  Document,  the  Administrative  Agent  shall not have any duties or
responsibilities,  except  those  expressly  set  forth  herein,  nor  shall the
Administrative  Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary  relationship with
any  Bank,  and  no  implied  covenants,  functions,  responsibilities,  duties,
obligations or  liabilities  shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative  Agent.  Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the

                                                        101

<PAGE>



term "agent" in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not
intended to connote any  fiduciary  or other  implied (or  express)  obligations
arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead,  such term is used
merely as a matter of market  custom,  and is intended to create or reflect only
an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

          9.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative  Agent may execute any of
its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents,
employees  or  attorneys-in-fact  and shall be  entitled  to  advice of  counsel
concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall
not  be   responsible   for  the  negligence  or  misconduct  of  any  agent  or
attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care.

          9.3 Liability of Agents.  None of the Agent-Related  Persons shall (a)
be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in
connection  with this  Agreement or any other Loan Document  (except for its own
gross negligence or willful misconduct),  or (b) be responsible in any manner to
any of the Banks for any recital, statement,  representation or warranty made by
the  Company or any  Subsidiary  or  Affiliate  of the  Company,  or any officer
thereof,  contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan  Document,  or in any
certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in,
or  received  by the  Administrative  Agent under or in  connection  with,  this
Agreement or any other Loan Document,  or for the value of any Collateral or the
validity,  effectiveness,  genuineness,  enforceability  or  sufficiency of this
Agreement or any other Loan  Document,  or for any failure of the Company or any
other  party to any Loan  Document  to  perform  its  obligations  hereunder  or
thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Bank to
ascertain  or to  inquire  as to the  observance  or  performance  of any of the
agreements  contained  in, or  conditions  of, this  Agreement or any other Loan
Document,  or to inspect the Properties,  books or records of the Company or any
of the Company's Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

          9.4  Reliance by Administrative Agent.

               (a)  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to

                                                        102

<PAGE>



rely,  and shall be fully  protected in relying,  upon any writing,  resolution,
notice, consent,  certificate,  affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or
telephone message, statement 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 Administrative  Agent. The Administrative  Agent shall be fully justified in
failing or refusing to take any action  under this  Agreement  or any other Loan
Document  unless  it shall  first  receive  such  advice or  concurrence  of the
Majority Banks as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be
indemnified to its  satisfaction  by the Banks against any and all liability and
expense  which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or  continuing  to take
any such action. The Administrative  Agent shall in all cases be fully protected
in acting, or in refraining from acting,  under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document in accordance  with a request or consent of the Majority Banks and such
request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding
upon all of the Banks.

               (b) For purposes of  determining  compliance  with the conditions
specified in Sections 4.1 and 4.2,  each Bank that has executed  this  Agreement
shall be deemed to have  consented  to,  approved or accepted or to be satisfied
with each  document or other matter either sent by the  Administrative  Agent to
such  Bank for  consent,  approval,  acceptance  or  satisfaction,  or  required
thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable  or  satisfactory  to
the Bank,  unless an officer of the  Administrative  Agent  responsible  for the
transactions  contemplated by the Loan Documents shall have received notice from
the Bank prior to the initial  Borrowing  specifying  its objection  thereto and
either  such  objection   shall  not  have  been  withdrawn  by  notice  to  the
Administrative Agent to that effect or the Bank shall not have made available to
the Administrative Agent the Bank's ratable portion of such Borrowing.

          9.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to
have  knowledge or notice of the  occurrence of any Default or Event of Default,
except with respect to defaults in the payment of  principal,  interest and fees
required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks,

                                                        103

<PAGE>



unless the  Administrative  Agent shall have received written notice from a Bank
or the Company referring to this Agreement,  describing such Default or Event of
Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that
the Administrative  Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall
give  notice  thereof to the Banks.  The  Administrative  Agent  shall take such
action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be requested by
the Majority Banks in accordance with Section 8; provided,  however, that unless
and until the  Administrative  Agent shall have received any such  request,  the
Administrative  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 or in the best interest of the Banks.

          9.6 Credit Decision. Each Bank expressly acknowledges that none of the
Agent-Related  Persons has made any representation or warranty to it and that no
act by the Administrative  Agent hereinafter taken,  including any review of the
affairs of the Company and its  Subsidiaries  shall be deemed to constitute  any
representation  or warranty by the  Administrative  Agent to any Bank. Each Bank
represents to the  Administrative  Agent that it has,  independently and without
reliance  upon  the  Administrative  Agent  and  based  on  such  documents  and
information  as it  has  deemed  appropriate,  made  its  own  appraisal  of and
investigation into the business, prospects,  operations, property, financial and
other condition and  creditworthiness  of the Company and its Subsidiaries,  and
all applicable bank regulatory  laws relating to the  transactions  contemplated
thereby,  and made its own  decision  to enter  into this  Agreement  and extend
credit  to the  Company  hereunder.  Each  Bank  also  represents  that it will,
independently  and without reliance upon the  Administrative  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 Loan Documents, and to make
such  investigations  as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
prospects,   operations,   property,   financial   and   other   condition   and
creditworthiness of the Company. Except for notices, reports and other documents
expressly  herein  required to be furnished  to the Banks by the  Administrative
Agent, the  Administrative  Agent shall not have any duty or  responsibility  to
provide any Bank with any

                                                        104

<PAGE>



credit or other  information  concerning  the business,  prospects,  operations,
property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Company which
may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

          9.7  Indemnification.  Whether  or not the  transactions  contemplated
hereby  shall  be  consummated,  the  Banks  shall  indemnify  upon  demand  the
Agent-Related  Persons  (to the  extent  not  reimbursed  by or on behalf of the
Company and without  limiting the  obligation of the Company to do so),  ratably
from  and  against  any  and  all  liabilities,  obligations,  losses,  damages,
penalties,  actions,  judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any
kind  whatsoever  which may at any time  (including  at any time  following  the
repayment  of the  Loans  and the  termination  or  resignation  of the  related
Administrative  Agent) be imposed on,  incurred by or asserted  against any such
Person any way  relating to or arising  out of this  Agreement  or any  document
contemplated   by  or  referred  to  herein  or  therein  or  the   transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by any such Person
under or in connection  with any of the foregoing;  provided,  however,  that no
Bank shall be liable for the payment to the Agent-Related Persons of any portion
of  such  liabilities,   obligations,   losses,  damages,  penalties,   actions,
judgments,  suits, costs,  expenses or disbursements  resulting solely from such
Person's  gross  negligence  or willful  misconduct.  Without  limitation of the
foregoing,  each Bank shall reimburse the  Administrative  Agent upon demand for
its ratable share of any costs or  out-of-pocket  expenses  (including  fees and
expenses of counsel and the allocated cost of in-house  counsel) incurred by the
Administrative  Agent in connection with the preparation,  execution,  delivery,
administration,   modification,   amendment  or  enforcement   (whether  through
negotiations,  legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of
rights or responsibilities  under, this Agreement,  any other Loan Document,  or
any  document  contemplated  by or  referred  to herein to the  extent  that the
Administrative  Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the
Company.  Without  limiting the  generality  of the  foregoing,  if the Internal
Revenue  Service or any other  Governmental  Authority  of the United  States or
other  jurisdiction  asserts  a claim  that  the  Administrative  Agent  did not
properly  withhold  tax  from  amounts  paid to or for the  account  of any Bank
(because the appropriate form was not delivered, was

                                                        105

<PAGE>



not properly executed,  or because such Bank failed to notify the Administrative
Agent of a change  in  circumstances  which  rendered  the  exemption  from,  or
reduction of,  withholding tax  ineffective,  or for any other reason) such Bank
shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or
indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties
and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts
payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section,  together with all costs
and expenses  (including  fees and expenses of counsel and the allocated cost of
in-house counsel). The obligation of the Banks in this Section shall survive the
payment of all Obligations hereunder.

          9.8  Administrative  Agent  in  Individual  Capacity.   BofA  and  its
Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept
deposits from,  acquire equity  interests in and generally engage in any kind of
banking,  trust,  financial  advisory or other business with the Company and its
Subsidiaries  and  Affiliates as though BofA were not the  Administrative  Agent
hereunder  and without  notice to or consent of the Banks.  With  respect to its
Loans,  BofA shall have the same rights and powers  under this  Agreement as any
other Bank and may  exercise  the same as though it were not the  Administrative
Agent,  and the terms "Bank" and "Banks"  shall  include BofA in its  individual
capacity.

          9.9 Successor  Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, and
at the request of the Majority Banks shall, resign as Administrative  Agent upon
30 days'  notice to the  Banks.  If the  Administrative  Agent  shall  resign as
Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Majority Banks shall appoint from
among the Banks a successor  agent for the Banks which  successor agent shall be
approved  by the  Company.  If no  successor  agent  is  appointed  prior to the
effective  date  of  the   resignation   of  the   Administrative   Agent,   the
Administrative  Agent  may  appoint,  after  consulting  with the  Banks and the
Company,  a successor  agent from among the Banks.  Upon the  acceptance  of its
appointment as successor agent hereunder,  such successor agent shall succeed to
all the rights,  powers and duties of the retiring  Administrative Agent and the
term  "Administrative  Agent" shall mean such  successor  agent and the retiring
Administrative  Agent's  appointment,  powers and duties as Administrative Agent
shall be  terminated.  After any  retiring  Administrative  Agent's  resignation
hereunder as Administrative

                                                        106

<PAGE>



Agent,  the  provisions of this Section 9 and Sections 10.4 and 10.5 shall inure
to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
Administrative  Agent under this  Agreement.  If no successor agent has accepted
appointment  as  Administrative  Agent by the date which is 30 days  following a
retiring   Administrative   Agent's   notice  of   resignation,   the   retiring
Administrative Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective
and the  Banks  shall  perform  all of the  duties of the  Administrative  Agent
hereunder  until such time,  if any, as the Majority  Banks  appoint a successor
agent as provided for above.

          9.10  Collateral Matters.

               (a) The  Administrative  Agent is authorized on behalf of all the
Banks, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Banks,
from time to time to take any  action  with  respect  to any  Collateral  or the
Pledge  Agreements which may be necessary to perfect and maintain  perfected the
security  interest  in and Liens upon the  Collateral  granted  pursuant  to the
Pledge Agreements.  In connection with the Recapitalization,  the Administrative
Agent is  authorized  to release the stock  collateral  held under the  Mitchell
Family Pledge Agreement to the extent  necessary,  against delivery of the stock
of the Company owned by the Holding Company.

               (b) The Banks irrevocably  authorize the Administrative Agent, at
its option and in its discretion,  to release any Lien granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments
and payment in full of all Loans and all other  Obligations  payable  under this
Agreement and under any other Loan Document;  (ii) constituting Property sold or
to be sold or  disposed  of as part of or in  connection  with  any  Disposition
permitted  hereunder;  (iii)  constituting  Property in which the Company or any
Subsidiary  of the Company owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or
at any time thereafter;  (iv) constituting Property leased to the Company or any
Subsidiary of the Company under a lease which has expired or been  terminated in
a transaction permitted under this Agreement or is about to expire and which has
not been,  and is not intended by the Company or such  Subsidiary to be, renewed
or extended;  (v) consisting of an instrument  evidencing  Indebtedness or other
debt instrument, if

                                                        107

<PAGE>



the indebtedness  evidenced  thereby has been paid in full; or (vi) if approved,
authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Banks or all the Banks, as the
case may be,  subject to Section  10.1(f).  Upon  request by the  Administrative
Agent at any time, the Banks will confirm in writing the Administrative  Agent's
authority to release  particular  types or items of Collateral  pursuant to this
Section 9.10(b).

               (c) Each  Bank  agrees  with and in  favor of each  other  (which
agreement  shall  not  be  for  the  benefit  of  the  Company  or  any  of  its
Subsidiaries)  that the Company's  obligation to such Bank under this  Agreement
and the  other  Loan  Documents  is not and  shall  not be  secured  by any real
property collateral now or hereafter acquired by such Bank.

          9.11  Documentation  Agent.  The Bank identified on the facing page or
signature  pages of this Agreement as the  "Documentation  Agent" shall not have
any  right,  power,  obligation,  liability,  responsibility  or duty under this
Agreement other than those applicable to all Banks as such. Without limiting the
foregoing,  the  Documentation  Agent  shall  not have or be  deemed to have any
fiduciary  relationship  with any Bank. Each Bank  acknowledges  that it has not
relied, and will not rely, on the Documentation  Agent in deciding to enter into
this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.


                           SECTION 10

                          MISCELLANEOUS

          10.1  Amendments and Waivers.  No amendment or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any
departure by the Company therefrom,  shall be effective unless the same shall be
in writing and signed by the Majority Banks, the Company and acknowledged by the
Administrative  Agent,  and then  such  waiver  shall be  effective  only in the
specific  instance  and for the  specific  purpose  for which  given;  provided,
however, that no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and

Agent,  do any of the  following:  (a) increase or extend the  Commitment of any
Bank (or reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to Section

                                                        108

Section 2.15; or (f) discharge any Guarantor or Pledgor,  or release any part of

Administrative  Agent in addition to the Majority Banks or all the Banks, as the
case may be, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative  Agent under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document.

          10.2 Notices. All notices,  requests and other communications provided

privilege hereunder,  shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any
other or further  exercise  thereof or the exercise of any other right,  remedy,
power or privilege.

          10.4  Costs and Expenses.  The Company shall, whether
or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated:

               (a) reimburse BofA  (including in its capacity as  Administrative
Agent) on demand for all  reasonable  costs and expenses  incurred in connection
with the development,  syndication,  preparation,  delivery,  administration and
execution of, and any amendment,  supplement,  waiver or  modification  to, this
Agreement,  any Loan  Document and any other  documents  prepared in  connection
herewith or therewith,  and the  consummation of the  transactions  contemplated
hereby and thereby,  including the  reasonable  costs and expenses of counsel to
BofA (including in its capacity as Administrative Agent) (and the allocated cost
of internal counsel) with respect thereto;

               (b) reimburse  each Bank and the  Administrative  Agent on demand
for all reasonable  costs and expenses  incurred by them in connection  with the
enforcement  or  preservation  of any rights  (including in connection  with any
"workout" or restructuring  regarding the Loans) under this Agreement,  any Loan
Document,  and any  such  other  documents,  including  fees  and  out-of-pocket
expenses  of  counsel  (and  the  allocated  cost of  internal  counsel)  to the
Administrative Agent and to each of the Banks; and

               (c)  reimburse  the  Administrative   Agent  on  demand  for  all
reasonable  appraisal,  audit,  search and filing fees, incurred or sustained by

          10.5 General  Indemnity.  The Company shall pay,  indemnify,  and hold
each  Bank,  the  Administrative  Agent and each of their  respective  officers,
directors,   employees,   counsel,   agents  and  attorneys-in-fact   (each,  an
"Indemnified  Person")  harmless  from  and  against  any and  all  liabilities,
obligations,  losses,  damages,  penalties,  actions,  judgments,  suits, costs,
charges, expenses or disbursements (including reasonable fees and

                                                        110

out-of-pocket expenses of counsel and the allocated cost of internal counsel) of
any  kind  or  nature  whatsoever  with  respect  to  the  execution,  delivery,
enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement and any other Loan
Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and with respect
to  any  investigation,  litigation  or  proceeding  (including  any  Insolvency
Proceeding or appellate  proceeding)  related to this Agreement or the Loans, or
the use of the  proceeds  thereof,  whether or not any  Indemnified  Person is a
party thereto (all the foregoing,  collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities");
provided, that the Company shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified
Person  with  respect to  Indemnified  Liabilities  (i)  arising  from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person (ii) with respect to
judicial proceedings  commenced against such Indemnified Person by any holder of
the debt or equity  securities  of such  Indemnified  Person based solely on the
rights  afforded such holder in its capacity as such,  and (iii) with respect to
judicial proceedings commenced solely against such Indemnified Person by another
Bank,  Assignee or  Participant to the extent based on a cause of action against
such Indemnified  Person and not the Company or any Restricted  Subsidiary.  The
obligations in this Section 10.5 shall survive payment of all other Obligations.
The Company  shall have the right to  undertake,  conduct  and  control  through
counsel  of  its  own  choosing  (which  counsel  shall  be  acceptable  to  the
Indemnified  Persons acting  reasonably) and at the sole expense of the Company,
the conduct and settlement of any Indemnified  Liabilities,  and the Indemnified
Person shall cooperate with the Company in connection  therewith;  provided that
the Company shall permit the  Indemnified  Person to participate in such conduct
and settlement  through counsel chosen by the Indemnified  Person,  but the fees
and  expenses  of  such  counsel  shall  be  borne  by the  Indemnified  Person.
Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  the Indemnified  Person shall have the right to
employ its own  counsel,  and the  reasonable  fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the Company's  costs and expense if the interests of the Company and
the  Indemnified  Person  become  adverse in any such claim or course of action;
provided,  however,  the  Company,  in such event,  shall only be liable for the
reasonable  legal expenses of one counsel for all of such  Indemnified  Persons.
The  Company  shall  not be  liable  for any  settlement  of any claim or action
effected without its prior written consent,  such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld. All amounts owing under this

                                                        111

Section 10.5 shall be paid within 30 days after demand.

          10.6 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither the Administrative Agent
nor the Banks shall be under any  obligation  to marshall any assets in favor of
the  Company  or any other  Person or against or in payment of any or all of the
Obligations.  To the extent that the Company  makes a payment or payments to the
Administrative  Agent or the  Banks,  or the  Administrative  Agent or the Banks
enforce  their Liens or exercise  their  rights of set-off,  and such payment or
payments or the proceeds of such  enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are
subsequently invalidated,  declared to be fraudulent or preferential,  set aside
or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party in connection
with  any  Insolvency  Proceeding,  or  otherwise,  then to the  extent  of such
recovery  the  obligation  or part thereof  originally  intended to be satisfied
shall be revived and  continued  in full force and effect as if such payment had
not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred.

          10.7 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors  and assigns,  except that the Company may not assign or transfer any
of its rights or  obligations  under this  Agreement  without the prior  written
consent of the Administrative Agent and each Bank.

          10.8  Assignments, Participations, etc.

               (a) Any Bank may, with the prior  written  consent of the Company
at all times other than  during the  existence  of an Event of Default,  and the
Administrative Agent, which consents shall not be unreasonably  withheld, at any
time assign and delegate to one or more  Eligible  Assignees  (provided  that no
written consent of the Company or the Administrative  Agent shall be required in
connection  with any  assignment and delegation by a Bank to a Bank Affiliate of
such Bank) (each an  "Assignee")  all, or any ratable part of all, of the Loans,
the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Bank hereunder,  in
a minimum amount of $10,000,000  and multiples of $1,000,000 in excess  thereof;
provided,  however,  that  (i) the  Company  and the  Administrative  Agent  may
continue  to deal  solely and  directly  with such Bank in  connection  with the
interest so assigned to an Assignee until (A) written notice of such assignment,
together

                                                        112

<PAGE>



with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the
Assignee,  shall have been given to the Company and the Administrative  Agent by
such Bank and the Assignee;  (B) such Bank and its Assignee shall have delivered
to the  Company  and  the  Administrative  Agent  a  Notice  of  Assignment  and
Acceptance  in the form of Exhibit D ("Notice  of  Assignment  and  Acceptance")
together with any Note or Notes subject to such  assignment and (C) the assignor
Bank or Assignee has paid to the  Administrative  Agent a processing  fee in the
amount of $2,500.

               (b)  From  and  after  the date  that  the  Administrative  Agent
notifies the assignor Bank that it has received an executed Notice of Assignment
and  Acceptance  and payment of the  above-referenced  processing  fee,  (i) the
Assignee  thereunder  shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and
obligations  hereunder  have been  assigned  to it  pursuant  to such  Notice of
Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Bank under
the Loan Documents,  and (ii) the assignor Bank shall, to the extent that rights
and obligations  hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned
by it pursuant to such  Notice of  Assignment  and  Acceptance,  relinquish  its
rights and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents.

               (c) Within five  Business Days after its receipt of notice by the
Administrative  Agent that it has received an executed  Notice of Assignment and
Acceptance  and  payment of the  processing  fee,  the Company  shall,  upon the
request of the  Assignee  made  through the  Administrative  Agent,  execute and
deliver  to the  Administrative  Agent,  one or more new Notes  evidencing  such
Assignee's  assigned  Loans  and  Commitment  and,  if  the  assignor  Bank  had
previously  requested  one or more Notes and has retained a portion of its Loans
and its  Commitment,  replacement  Notes in the  principal  amount  of the Loans
retained by the  assignor  Bank (such Notes to be in  exchange  for,  but not in
payment  of,  the Notes held by such  Bank).  Immediately  upon each  Assignee's
making its processing fee payment under the Notice of Assignment and Acceptance,
this  Agreement,  shall be deemed to be amended to the  extent,  but only to the
extent,  necessary to reflect the  addition of the  Assignee  and the  resulting
adjustment of the Commitments  arising  therefrom.  The Commitment  allocated to
each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Bank pro tanto.

                                                        113

<PAGE>



               (d) Any Bank may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks
or other Persons not Affiliates of the Company (a  "Participant")  participating
interests in any Loans,  the Commitment of that Bank and the other  interests of
that Bank (the "originating Bank") hereunder and under the other Loan Documents;
provided,  however,  that (i) the  originating  Bank's  obligations  under  this
Agreement shall remain unchanged,  (ii) the originating Bank shall remain solely
responsible for the performance of such  obligations,  (iii) the Company and the
Administrative  Agent  shall  continue  to deal  solely  and  directly  with the
originating   Bank  in  connection  with  the  originating   Bank's  rights  and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,  and (iv) no Bank
shall transfer or grant any  participating  interest under which the Participant
shall have  rights to approve  any  amendment  to, or any consent or waiver with
respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such
amendment,  consent or waiver would  require  unanimous  consent of the Banks as
described  in the  first  proviso  to  Section  10.1.  In the  case of any  such
participation, the Participant shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 3.1,
3.3 and 10.5 as though it were also a Bank hereunder, and if amounts outstanding
under this  Agreement  are due and 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  set-off  in  respect  of its
participating  interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent
as if the amount of its  participating  interest were owing  directly to it as a
Bank under this Agreement.

               (e)   Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  contained  in  this
Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, any Bank may assign all or
any portion of the Loans or Notes held by it to any Federal  Reserve Bank or the
United States  Treasury as collateral  security  pursuant to Regulation A of the
Board of  Governors of the Federal  Reserve  System and any  Operating  Circular
issued by such Federal  Reserve  Bank,  provided  that any payment in respect of
such  assigned  Loans or Notes made by the  Company to or for the account of the
assigning or pledging Bank in accordance  with the terms of this Agreement shall
satisfy the Company's obligations hereunder in respect to such assigned Loans or
Notes to the  extent of such  payment.  No such  assignment  shall  release  the
assigning Bank from its obligations hereunder.

          10.9  Set-off.  In  addition  to any rights and  remedies of the Banks
provided by law, if an Event of Default  exists,  each Bank is authorized at any
time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Company, any such notice
being waived by the Company to the fullest  extent  permitted by law, to set off
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,  provisional
or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing to, such
Bank to or for the credit or the  account  of the  Company  against  any and all
Obligations  owing to such Bank,  now or  hereafter  existing,  irrespective  of
whether or not the  Administrative  Agent or such Bank  shall  have made  demand
under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such  Obligations  may be
contingent or unmatured. Each Bank agrees promptly to notify the Company and the
Administrative  Agent after any such set-off and application  made by such Bank;
provided,  however,  that the failure to give such  notice  shall not affect the
validity  of such  set-off and  application.  The rights of each Bank under this
Section 10.9 are in addition to the other rights and remedies  (including  other
rights of set-off) which the Bank may have.

          10.10 Notification of Addresses, Lending Offices, Etc. Each Bank shall
notify the  Administrative  Agent in writing  of any  changes in the  address to
which  notices to the Bank  should be  directed,  of  addresses  of its  Lending
Offices,  of payment  instructions  in respect of all  payments to be made to it
hereunder and of such other  administrative  information  as the  Administrative
Agent shall reasonably request.

          10.11  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by one or more of
the parties to this  Agreement in any number of separate  counterparts,  each of
which,  when  so  executed,  shall  be  deemed  an  original,  and  all of  said
counterparts  taken  together shall be deemed to constitute but 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 Administrative Agent.

          10.12   Severability.   The  illegality  or  unenforceability  of  any
provision of this  Agreement or any instrument or agreement  required  hereunder
shall not in any way  affect or impair the  legality  or  enforceability  of the
remaining  provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement  required
hereunder.

<PAGE>



          10.13 No Third Parties  Benefited.  This Agreement is made and entered
into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Company, the Banks and the
Administrative  Agent, and their permitted  successors and assigns, and no other
Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or
indirect cause of action or claim in connection  with,  this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents.  Neither the  Administrative  Agent nor any Bank shall
have any  obligation  to any Person not a party to this  Agreement or other Loan
Documents.

          10.14  Time.  Time is of the essence as to each term or
provision of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents.

          10.15  Governing Law and Jurisdiction.

               (a) THIS  AGREEMENT  AND ANY  NOTES  SHALL BE  GOVERNED  BY,  AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE  WITH,  THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK;  PROVIDED THAT
THE  ADMINISTRATIVE  AGENT AND THE BANKS SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS  ARISING  UNDER
FEDERAL LAW.

               (B) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT
AND ANY OTHER  LOAN  DOCUMENTS  MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK OR OF THE  UNITED  STATES FOR THE  SOUTHERN  DISTRICT  OF NEW YORK,  AND BY
EXECUTION   AND  DELIVERY  OF  THIS   AGREEMENT,   EACH  OF  THE  COMPANY,   THE
ADMINISTRATIVE  AGENT AND THE BANKS  CONSENTS,  FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS
PROPERTY,  TO THE  NON-EXCLUSIVE  JURISDICTION  OF  THOSE  COURTS.  EACH  OF THE
COMPANY,   THE  ADMINISTRATIVE  AGENT  AND  THE  BANKS  IRREVOCABLY  WAIVES  ANY
OBJECTION,  INCLUDING  ANY  OBJECTION  TO THE  LAYING  OF  VENUE OR BASED ON THE
GROUNDS  OF FORUM  NON  CONVENIENS,  WHICH IT MAY NOW OR  HEREAFTER  HAVE TO THE
BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR  PROCEEDING  IN SUCH  JURISDICTION  IN RESPECT OF THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO. THE COMPANY,  THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
AND THE BANKS EACH WAIVE  PERSONAL  SERVICE OF ANY  SUMMONS,  COMPLAINT OR OTHER
PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY NEW YORK LAW.

          10.16  WAIVER  OF  JURY  TRIAL.   THE  COMPANY,   THE  BANKS  AND  THE
ADMINISTRATIVE  AGENT EACH WAIVE THEIR  RESPECTIVE  RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF
ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION  BASED  UPON OR  ARISING  OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS
AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS  CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR
THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY

<PAGE>



ANY OF THE PARTIES  AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR PARTIES,  WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO
CONTRACT  CLAIMS,  TORT CLAIMS,  OR  OTHERWISE.  THE COMPANY,  THE BANKS AND THE
ADMINISTRATIVE  AGENT EACH AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE
TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL  WITHOUT A JURY.  WITHOUT  LIMITING  THE  FOREGOING,  THE
PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR  RESPECTIVE  RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED
BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION,  COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING
WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF
THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN  DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION  HEREOF OR THEREOF.
THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS,  RENEWALS,  SUPPLEMENTS OR
MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

          10.17 NOTICE OF CLAIMS;  CLAIMS BAR. THE COMPANY HEREBY AGREES THAT IT
SHALL GIVE PROMPT  WRITTEN NOTICE OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION IT BELIEVES IT
HAS,  OR MAY SEEK TO ASSERT OR ALLEGE  AGAINST THE  ADMINISTRATIVE  AGENT OR ANY
BANK, WHETHER SUCH CLAIM IS BASED IN LAW OR EQUITY,  ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO
THIS  AGREEMENT  OR ANY OF THE  OTHER  LOAN  DOCUMENTS,  OR TO THE LOANS (OR THE
COLLATERAL THEREFOR),  OR ANY ACT OR OMISSION TO ACT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
OR ANY BANK WITH  RESPECT  HERETO OR THERETO,  AND THAT IF IT SHALL FAIL TO GIVE
SUCH PROMPT NOTICE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE  AGENT WITH REGARD TO ANY SUCH CLAIM OR
CAUSE OF ACTION, IT SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED,  AND SHALL BE FOREVER BARRED
FROM BRINGING OR ASSERTING SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION IN ANY SUIT,  ACTION OR
PROCEEDING IN ANY COURT OR BEFORE ANY GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY.

          10.18 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement,  together with the other Loan
Documents,  embodies the entire agreement and  understanding  among the Company,
the  Banks  and  the   Administrative   Agent,   and  supersedes  all  prior  or
contemporaneous  Agreements  and  understandings  of  such  Persons,  verbal  or
written,  relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, except for the fees
described in the term sheet referenced in Section 2.11.

          10.19  Interpretation.  This  Agreement is the result of  negotiations
between  and has been  reviewed  by counsel  to the  Administrative  Agent,  the
Company  and  other  parties,   and  is  the  product  of  all  parties  hereto.
Accordingly,  this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be construed
against  the  Banks  or  the   Administrative   Agent  merely   because  of  the
Administrative

                                                        117

Agent's  or  Banks'  involvement  in  the  preparation  of  such  documents  and
agreements.

          10.20  Amendment and  Restatement of Existing  Credit  Facility.  This
Agreement  amends and  restates  the  Existing  Credit  Facility and the related
promissory  notes as of the date  hereof,  and  advances  outstanding  under the
Existing  Credit  Facility  and such  promissory  notes  shall be  deemed  Loans
continuing  and  outstanding   hereunder.   In  order  to  permit  all  advances
outstanding  under the Existing  Credit  Facility and the promissory  notes (the
"Continuing  Loans") to be  continued  ratably by all Banks in  accordance  with
their  respective  Pro Rata Share under this  Agreement,  the  Company  shall be
deemed to have  requested,  pursuant to Section 2.4, that all loans  outstanding
under the Existing  Credit  Facility be converted into Base Rate Loans hereunder
made by all Banks in  accordance  with  their  respective  Pro Rata Share on the
Closing  Date.  The Company  shall pay  accrued  interest on the portion of each
Continuing  Loan so converted,  together with amounts  required to be paid under

relying on the undertakings of the Pledgors and the Company contained herein.

          D.   Terms defined and the rules of construction in the
Credit Agreement have, unless the context otherwise requires, the
same meanings in this Agreement.


     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

          1.  Grant of Security Interest.

          (a) As security  for the payment or  performance  when due (whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations to any Secured
Party, now existing or hereafter arising,  each Pledgor hereby pledges,  assigns
and transfers to the  Administrative  Agent for purposes of security and for the
equal benefit of the Secured  Parties,  and hereby grants to the  Administrative
Agent for the equal  benefit of the  Secured  Parties,  a lien on, and  security
interest in, all of such  Pledgor's  right,  title and interest in, to and under
the  following,  whether  now or  hereafter  existing  and  whether now owned or
hereafter acquired (collectively, the "Collateral"):

          (i) all shares opposite such Pledgor's name, as set
     forth on Schedule 1 (collectively, the "Pledged Shares");

          (ii) all additional shares of stock of the Company from
     time to time acquired by such Pledgor in any manner;

          (iii) the certificates representing the shares referred
     to in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above; and

          (iv) all dividends, cash, instruments and other
     property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable

                                                        138

     or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the
     shares  referred to in paragraphs  (i) and (ii) above (all of the foregoing
     being  the  "Proceeds");  provided,  however,  that so long as no  Event of
     Default has occurred and is  continuing,  each Pledgor may receive free and
     clear of any security interest under this Agreement any cash dividends paid
     in respect of the Pledged Shares.

          (b) All  certificates  or instruments  representing  or evidencing the
Collateral shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the  Administrative
Agent pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or
shall be  accompanied  by duly  executed  undated  instruments  of  transfer  or
assignment   in  blank,   all  in  form  and  substance   satisfactory   to  the
Administrative Agent. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Administrative  Agent shall have the right,  at any time in its  discretion  and
without notice to any Pledgor,  to transfer to or to register in its name or any
of its nominees  any or all of the  Collateral,  subject  only to the  revocable
rights  specified  in Section  6(a).  In  addition,  if an Event of Default  has
occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any
time  to  exchange  certificates  or  instruments   representing  or  evidencing
Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

          (c)  Notwithstanding  anything  contained  in  this  Agreement  to the
contrary,  and  except  for  the  obligation  of each  Pledgor  to  deliver  the
Collateral  owned  by  such  Pledgor  to the  Secured  Parties  pursuant  to the
provisions  hereof,  in no event shall any Pledgor have any  personal  liability
with respect to the Obligations or any  obligations,  debt or other  liabilities
that may arise under this Agreement and Secured  Parties  recourse  against such
Pledgor shall be limited solely to the Collateral owned by such Pledgor.

          2. Security for  Obligations.  This Agreement  secures,  in accordance
with the provisions hereof, the payment by the Company of all of the Obligations
to any Secured Party under any Loan Document, including under any Swap Contract,
and all  obligations  of the Company and each Pledgor under this  Agreement,  in
each case now existing or hereafter  arising.  The  Collateral  shall secure the
Obligations owing to the Secured Parties equally and ratably.

incorporation,  and is  properly  licensed  and in good  standing  in, and where
necessary to maintain its rights and privileges has complied with the fictitious
name statute of, every jurisdiction in which it is doing business,  except where
the  failure  to be  licensed  or be in good  standing  or comply  with any such

such Pledgor to perform its  obligations  hereunder or under any  instrument  or
agreement required hereunder.

          (h) If such Pledgor is a trust (a  "Trust"),  it is evidenced by those

          (i) The execution,  delivery and performance of this Agreement and any
instrument  or agreement  required  hereunder  are within the corporate or trust

of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required  hereunder,  except as
may have been  obtained  and  certified  copies of which have been  delivered to
Administrative Agent.

          (k) There is no law,  rule or  regulation,  nor is there any judgment,
decree or order of any court or governmental authority binding on the Company or
such Pledgor, which would be contravened by the execution, delivery, performance
or enforcement by the Company or such Pledgor of this Agreement or

                                                        141

          (l) This  Agreement  is a legal,  valid and binding  agreement  of the
Company and such  Pledgor,  enforceable  against the Company and such Pledgor in
accordance with its terms, and any instrument or agreement  required  hereunder,
when  executed  and  delivered,  will be  similarly  legal,  valid,  binding and
enforceable,  except where  enforceability  thereof may be limited by applicable
law  relating  to  bankruptcy,  insolvency,  moratorium  or other  similar  laws
affecting   creditors'  rights  generally  or  by  the  application  of  general
principles of equity.

          (m) There is no action,  suit or proceeding pending against, or to the
knowledge of the Company or such  Pledgor,  threatened  against or affecting the

enforceability of this Agreement.

          (n) The  execution,  delivery and  performance by the Company and such
Pledgor of this  Agreement do not and would not be expected to conflict  with or
result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien under, any
document  evidencing  any  Contractual  Obligation  to which the Company or such
Pledgor is a party.

          4.  Further Assurances; Supplements.

          (a) The Company and each Pledgor  agree that from time to time, at the
expense of such  Person,  it will  promptly  execute  and  deliver  all  further
instruments and documents,  and take all further action that may be necessary or
desirable,  or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to
perfect the Liens  granted or  purported  to be granted  hereby or to enable the
Administrative  Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder.
Without  limiting the generality of the foregoing,  the Company and each Pledgor
will execute and deliver to Administrative  Agent such financing or continuation
statements,  or amendments thereto, and such other instruments,  endorsements or
notices,  as may be necessary or desirable,  or as the Administrative  Agent may
reasonably  request,  in order to  perfect  and  preserve  the Liens  granted or
purported to be granted hereby.

          (b) The Company and each Pledgor hereby  authorize the  Administrative
Agent to file one or more financing or continuation  statements,  and amendments
thereto,  relative to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of
such Pledgor where permitted by law.

          (c) The Company or each Pledgor shall pay all filing, registration and
recording  fees or refiling,  re-registration  and  re-recording  fees,  and all

execution and delivery of this Agreement,  any agreement supplemental hereto and
any instruments of further assurance.

          (d) Each  Pledgor  shall  warrant and defend  title to the  Collateral
against the claims and demands of all Persons (other than the Secured Parties or
any Person claiming by or through any Secured Party) whomsoever.

the Company to,  promptly  deliver to the  Administrative  Agent a duly executed
Pledge Agreement  Supplement in  substantially  the form of Schedule 2 hereto (a
"Pledge Agreement Supplement") identifying the additional shares which are being
pledged.  Each Pledgor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to attach each
Pledge Agreement  Supplement to this Agreement and agrees that all shares listed
on any Pledge Agreement  Supplement  delivered to the Administrative Agent shall
for all  purposes  hereunder  constitute  Collateral.  Upon any person  pledging
shares hereunder, such person shall be deemed a Pledgor hereunder.

          5.  Covenants of Pledgors and Company.

          (a) Each Pledgor shall pay, before any fine, penalty, interest or cost
attaches   thereto,   all  taxes,   assessments   and  other   governmental   or

become a Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) thereon,  and will retain copies of,
and, upon request, permit the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to
examine,  receipts  showing payment of any of the foregoing;  provided,  that no
Pledgor shall be required to pay any such tax,  assessment,  charge or levy, the
validity of which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

          (b) Each Pledgor shall give the Administrative Agent at least 30 days'
prior  written  notice  before it changes the  location  of its chief  executive
office or the office where it keeps the Records and shall at the expense of such
Pledgor  execute and  deliver  such  instruments  and  documents  as required to
maintain a prior perfected security interest and as reasonably  requested by the
Administrative  Agent. Each Pledgor will hold and preserve all Records and will,
upon reasonable request by the Administrative  Agent or any Secured party at any
time  during  normal  business  hours,  permit the  Administrative  Agent or any
Secured Party to inspect and make abstracts from such Records.

Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whatsoever.

          (e) Each Pledgor will,  upon becoming aware of such event,  notify the
Administrative  Agent promptly,  in reasonable detail, (i) of any material claim
made or asserted  against the Collateral by any Person;  (ii) of any event which
could  reasonably be expected to have a material  adverse effect on the value of
the Collateral;  (iii) of any event which could reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on the ability of the Administrative Agent to dispose of
the Collateral or the rights and remedies of the Administrative  Agent; and (iv)
of the occurrence of any other event which would have a material  adverse effect
on the Collateral or on the security interest

                                                        144

Agent with signature exemplars of any new trustee(s).

          (h) The Company will not issue any Voting  Stock except in  compliance
with Section 18.

          6.  Voting Rights, Dividends, Etc.

          (a) So  long  as no  Event  of  Default  shall  have  occurred  and be

     property  or funds  of each  Pledgor,  and be  forthwith  delivered  to the
     Administrative  Agent as Collateral  in the same form as so received  (with
     any necessary endorsement).

               (iii) The  Administrative  Agent  shall  execute  and deliver (or
     cause to be executed  and  delivered)  to each Pledgor all such proxies and

     exercise such voting and other consensual rights.

               (ii)  All rights of each Pledgor to receive the
     dividends which it would otherwise be authorized to receive

                                                        146

     thereupon  have  the sole  right to  receive  and hold as  Collateral  such
     dividends.

               (iii) All dividends which are received by any Pledgor contrary to
     the  provisions  of Section  6(a)(ii)  shall be  received  in trust for the
     benefit of the  Administrative  Agent, shall be segregated from other funds
     of each  Pledgor  and shall be  forthwith  paid over to the  Administrative
     Agent as  Collateral  in the same form as so received  (with any  necessary
     endorsement).

be coupled with an interest),  with full authority to act in the place and stead
of the Company and such  Pledgor and in the name of the Company and such Pledgor
or  otherwise,  from time to time if an Event of  Default  has  occurred  and is
continuing  or  to  the  extent   contemplated   by  Section  8  hereof  in  the

<PAGE>



necessary or desirable for the collection  thereof or to enforce compliance with
the  terms  and  conditions  of  the  Assigned  Agreements  or  this  Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,  the Administrative  Agent shall not be obligated
to exercise any right or duty as  attorney-in-fact,  and shall have no duties to
the Assignor in connection therewith.

          8.  Administrative Agent May Perform.

          (a) If the Company or any Pledgor  fails to perform or comply with any
of its agreements  contained herein, the  Administrative  Agent may, as provided
for by the terms of this Agreement, itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause
performance or compliance,  with such Agreement.  The reasonable expenses of the
Administrative  Agent incurred in connection with such performance or compliance
shall be payable by the Company and each Pledgor to the Administrative Agent and
shall constitute Obligations secured hereby;  provided,  that the payment to the
Administrative Agent shall be made solely through the application of proceeds in
accordance with Section 9(a) hereof. The  Administrative  Agent agrees to notify
the Company and the Pledgors  promptly after incurring any expenses  pursuant to
this Section 8; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall
not affect the  Administrative  Agent's right to reimbursement  from the Company
and each Pledgor.

          (b) The Administrative Agent shall use reasonable care with respect to
the  Collateral in its  possession or under its control.  Except as set forth in
the preceding sentence,  the Administrative  Agent shall not have any duty as to

any agent or nominee of it or as to any income thereon or as to the preservation
of rights against parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.

          9.  Rights and Remedies.

          (a) If (i) an Event of Default  shall have  occurred and be continuing
and (ii) any of the  Obligations  shall have been  declared to be, or shall have
become,  due and  payable,  then,  in addition to any other  rights and remedies
provided for herein or which may  otherwise  be  available,  the  Administrative
Agent may, without any further demand, advertisement or notice (except as

                                                        148

expressly provided for below in this Section 9(a)),  exercise all the rights and
remedies of a secured  party under the Uniform  Commercial  Code of the State of
New  York  (the  "UCC")  (whether  or  not  the  UCC  applies  to  the  affected
Collateral),  and in addition: (i) may apply the moneys, if any, then held by it
as part of the  Collateral,  for the  following  purposes  and in the  following
order:

          (1) first,  to the payment of (A) all costs and  expenses  relating to
     the sale of the  Collateral  and  collection  of amounts  owing  hereunder,
     including  reasonable  attorneys'  fees  and  disbursements  and  the  just
     compensation  of  the   Administrative   Agent  for  services  rendered  in
     connection therewith or in connection with any proceeding to sell if a sale
     is not completed,  and (B) all charges,  expenses and advances  incurred or
     made by the  Administrative  Agent  in order  to  protect  the Lien of this
     Agreement or the security  afforded  hereby,  together with interest at the
     rate specified in Section 2.10(c) of the Credit Agreement;

          (2) second,  to the payment in full of all of the Obligations  owed to
     the Secured Parties hereunder or under any Loan Document (to be paid to the
     Secured  Parties in accordance  with the aggregate  outstanding  amounts of
     such Obligations owed to each Secured Party); and

          (3) third,  the balance,  if any,  shall be paid to each Pledgor or to
     such other Person as shall be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus (as
     determined  by a court of  competent  jurisdiction,  if such  procedure  is
     available under applicable law);

and (ii) if there  shall be no such  moneys or the  moneys so  applied  shall be
insufficient to satisfy in full all Obligations, may sell the Collateral, or any
part thereof, as hereinafter  provided in this Section 9(a) and otherwise to the
fullest  extent  permitted  by law.  The  Collateral  may be sold in one or more
sales,  at public or  private  sale,  conducted  by any  officer or agent of, or
auctioneer  or attorney for, the  Administrative  Agent,  at the  Administrative
Agent's  place of  business  or  elsewhere,  for cash,  upon credit or for other
property,  for immediate or future delivery,  and at such price or prices and on
such terms as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate.

The Administrative  Agent or any other Secured Party may be the purchaser of any
or all of the  Collateral so sold at a public sale and, to the extent  permitted
by law, at a private sale and thereafter hold the same, absolutely free from any
right or claim of whatsoever  kind, and, the obligations of each Pledgor to such
purchaser  may  be  applied  as  a  credit  against  the  purchase  price.   The
Administrative  Agent,  may, in its sole  discretion  (in the case of Collateral
consisting of  securities)  or if  commercially  reasonable  (in the case of all
other  Collateral),  at any  such  sale  restrict  the  prospective  bidders  or
purchasers as to their number, nature of business and investment intention. Upon
any  public or private  sale the  Administrative  Agent  shall have the right to
deliver,  assign and transfer to the purchaser  thereof the  Collateral so sold.
Each purchaser  (including the Administrative  Agent or any other Secured Party)
at any such sale shall hold the  Collateral  so sold,  absolutely  free from any
claim or right of whatsoever kind,  including any equity or right of redemption,
of each Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby specifically waives, to the full extent
it may lawfully do so, all rights of redemption,  stay or appraisal which it has
or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter  adopted.
The  Administrative  Agent  shall give each  Pledgor  at least ten days'  notice
(which each  Pledgor  agrees is  reasonable  notification  within the meaning of
Section 9-504(3) of the UCC) of any such public or private sale. Any public sale
shall  be held at such  time or  times  within  ordinary  business  hours as the
Administrative  Agent shall fix in the notice of such sale. At any such sale the
Collateral  may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in  separate  parcels.  The
Administrative  Agent shall not be  obligated  to make any sale  pursuant to any
such  notice.  The  Administrative  Agent may,  without  notice or  publication,
adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be  adjourned  from time
to time by  announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and any such
sale may be made at any time or  place  to  which  the same may be so  adjourned
without further notice or publication. In case of any sale of all or any part of
the Collateral on credit or for future  delivery,  the Collateral so sold may be
retained by the Administrative Agent until the full selling price is paid by the
purchaser thereof,  but neither the  Administrative  Agent nor any other Secured
Party shall incur any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take
up and pay for the  Collateral so sold,  and, in case of any such failure,  such
Collateral may again be sold pursuant to the

                                                        150

<PAGE>



provisions hereof.

          (b) Instead of  exercising  the power of sale provided in Section 9(a)
hereof,  the  Administrative  Agent may  proceed by a suit or suits at law or in
equity to foreclose  the security  interest  under this  Agreement  and sell the
Collateral  or any  portion  thereof  under a  judgment  or decree of a court or
courts of competent jurisdiction.

          (c) The Administrative Agent as attorney-in-fact pursuant to Section 7
hereof  may, in the name and stead of the  Company  and each  Pledgor,  make and
execute all  conveyances,  assignments  and  transfers  of the  Collateral  sold
pursuant to Section 9(a) or Section 9(b) hereof, and the Company hereby ratifies
and confirms all that the Administrative Agent, as said attorney-in-fact,  shall
do by virtue hereof.  Nevertheless,  the Company and each Pledgor  shall,  if so
requested by the Administrative  Agent,  ratify and confirm any sale or sales by
executing and delivering to the  Administrative  Agent,  or to such purchaser or
purchasers,  all such  instruments  as may,  in the  reasonable  judgment of the
Administrative Agent, be advisable for the purpose.

          (d) The receipt by the Administrative Agent of the purchase money paid
at any sale made by it shall be a sufficient discharge therefor to any purchaser
of the  Collateral,  or any  portion  thereof,  sold as  aforesaid;  and no such
purchaser (or the  representatives  or assigns of such purchaser),  after paying
such  purchase  money and receiving  such receipt,  shall be bound to see to the
application  of  such  purchase  money  or any  part  thereof  or in any  manner
whatsoever be answerable for any loss,  misapplication  or nonapplication of any
such  purchase  money,  or any part  thereof,  or be bound to  inquire as to the
authorization, necessity, expediency or regularity of any such sale.

          (e) The  Administrative  Agent shall incur no liability as a result of
the sale of the Collateral,  or any part thereof,  at any private sale conducted
in a commercially reasonable manner. The Company and each Pledgor hereby waives,
to the  full  extent  permitted  by  applicable  law,  any  claims  against  the
Administrative Agent and/or any Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that
the price at which the Collateral,  or any part thereof, may have been sold at a
private sale was less than the

                                                        151

<PAGE>



price  which  might  have been  obtained  at a public  sale or was less than the
aggregate amount of the Obligations,  even if the  Administrative  Agent accepts
the first offer received which the  Administrative  Agent in good faith deems to
be  commercially  reasonable  under  the  circumstances  and does not  offer the
Collateral to more than one offeree. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the
Company and each Pledgor  shall have the burden of proving that any such sale of
the Collateral was conducted in a commercially unreasonable manner.

          (f) Each and every right and remedy of the Administrative Agent shall,
to the extent  permitted by law, be  cumulative  and shall be in addition to any
other remedy given  hereunder or under the Credit  Agreement or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute.

          (g) The Administrative Agent may participate in any  recapitalization,
reclassification,   reorganization,   consolidation,  redemption,  stock  split,
merger,  or liquidation of the Company,  and in connection  therewith deposit or
surrender control of the Collateral,  accept money or other property in exchange
for the Collateral,  and take such action as deemed proper by the Administrative
Agent in  connection  therewith,  and any other  money or  property  received in
exchange for the Collateral  shall be applied to satisfy the Obligations or held
by the Administrative  Agent thereafter as Collateral pursuant to the provisions
hereof.

          10.  Sales of Pledged Shares.

          (a) If, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
Administrative  Agent in its sole discretion  determines that in connection with
any actual or contemplated  exercise of its rights to sell the whole or any part
of the  Collateral  hereunder,  it is  necessary or advisable to effect a public
registration of all or part of the Collateral  pursuant to the Securities Act of
1933, as from time to time amended (or any similar  statute then in effect) (the
"Securities Act"), the Company shall:

          (i) prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange  Commission (the
     "SEC") a registration  statement with respect to the Collateral and use its
     reasonable best efforts to

                                                        152

<PAGE>



     cause such registration statement to become and remain
     effective;

          (ii) prepare and file with the SEC such  amendments and supplements to
     such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith
     as may be necessary to keep such  registration  statement  effective and to
     comply with the  provisions of the  Securities Act with respect to the sale
     or  other  disposition  of the  Collateral  covered  by  such  registration
     statement  whenever  the  Administrative  Agent  shall  desire  to  sell or
     otherwise dispose of the Collateral;

          (iii) furnish to the Administrative  Agent such numbers of copies of a
     prospectus   and  a  preliminary   prospectus,   in  conformity   with  the
     requirements  of the  Securities  Act,  and  such  other  documents  as the
     Administrative  Agent may request in order to facilitate the public sale or
     other disposition of the Collateral by the Administrative Agent;

          (iv) use its  reasonable  best  efforts to  register  or  qualify  the
     Collateral  covered  by  such  registration   statement  under  such  other
     securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions  within the United States
     of America as the  Administrative  Agent shall  request,  and do such other
     reasonable  acts  and  things  as  may  be  required  of it to  enable  the
     Administrative  Agent to consummate the public sale or other disposition in
     such jurisdictions of the Collateral by the Administrative Agent;

          (v)  otherwise  use its  reasonable  best  efforts to comply  with all
     applicable  rules and  regulations  of the SEC,  and make  available to its
     security holders,  as soon as reasonably  practicable an earnings statement
     which shall satisfy the provisions of the Securities Act; and

          (vi) do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to
     make such sale of the  Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and
     in compliance with applicable law.

          (b)  The Company and each Pledgor recognizes that, by
reason of the aforementioned requirements and certain

                                                        153

<PAGE>



prohibitions  contained in the Securities Act and  applicable  state  securities
laws,  the  Administrative  Agent may, at its  option,  elect not to require the
Company and each Pledgor to register all or any part of the  Collateral  and may
therefore  be  compelled,  with  respect  to any  sale of all or any part of the
Collateral,  to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to
acquire such securities for their own account,  for  investment,  and not with a
view to the  distribution  or  resale  thereof.  The  Company  and each  Pledgor
acknowledges  and agrees that any such sale may result in prices and other terms
less  favorable  to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such
restrictions and, notwithstanding such circumstances,  agrees that any such sale
conducted  in good  faith  shall be deemed  to have been made in a  commercially
reasonable  manner.  The  Administrative  Agent shall be under no  obligation to
delay the sale of any of the Pledged  Shares for the period of time necessary to
permit the Company or any Pledgor to register  such  securities  for public sale
under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the
Company or such Pledgor would agree to do so.

          (c) If the  Administrative  Agent  determines to exercise its right to
sell any or all of the Collateral,  upon written  request,  the Company and each
Pledgor shall and shall cause,  each of its  Subsidiaries to, from time to time,
furnish to the  Administrative  Agent all such information as the Administrative
Agent  may  request  in order to  determine  the  number  of  shares  and  other
instruments  included in the Collateral which may be sold by the  Administrative
Agent as  exempt  transactions  under  the  Securities  Act and rules of the SEC
thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

          11.  Continuing Assignment and Security Interest;
Transfer of Notes.  This Agreement shall create a continuing
assignment of and security interest in the Collateral and shall
(a) remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the
Obligations and all other amounts owing to each Secured Party
under any Loan Documents and the termination or expiration of the
Commitments, (b) be binding upon the Company and each Pledgor,
its successors and assigns and (c) inure, together with the
rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder, to the
benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and
their respective successors, transferees and assigns.  Without

                                                        154

<PAGE>



limiting  the  generality  of the  foregoing,  any Bank may assign or  otherwise
transfer its rights and obligations  under any Loan Document to any other Person
or entity,  and such other Person or entity shall  thereupon  become vested with
all the benefits in respect  thereof  granted to such Bank herein or  otherwise,
all as provided in, and to the extent set forth in, the Loan Documents.  Neither
the  Company  nor any  Pledgor  may  assign  or  transfer  any of its  rights or
obligations  under  this  Agreement  without  the prior  written  consent of the
Administrative   Agent.  Upon  the  payment  in  full  of  the  Obligations  and
termination of the commitments (exclusive of future,  contingent or unliquidated
amounts  arising under  indemnity  agreements),  the security  interest  granted
hereby shall  terminate  and all rights to the  Collateral  shall revert to each
Pledgor.  Upon any such  termination,  the  Administrative  Agent will,  at each
Pledgor's  expense,  execute and deliver to each Pledgor such  documents as each
Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

          12. No  Notices,  etc.  No  Secured  Party  shall be under any duty or
obligation  whatsoever  (a) to  make  or  give  any  presentments,  demands  for
performances, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest or notices
of dishonor in connection with any Obligations or evidences of Obligations  held
by Secured  Parties as  Collateral,  or in  connection  with any  Obligation  or
evidences of Obligations  which  constitute in whole or in part the  Obligations
secured  hereunder,  or (b) to give the Company or any Pledgor  notice of, or to
exercise any  subscription  rights or  privileges,  any rights or  privileges to
exchange,  convert or redeem or any other  rights or  privileges  relating to or
affecting any Collateral held by Secured Parties.

          13. Delivery of Collateral.  Secured Parties may at any time cause the
Administrative  Agent to deliver the  Collateral or any part thereof to Pledgors
and the receipt of Pledgors  shall be a complete  and full  acquittance  for the
Collateral so delivered, and Secured Parties shall thereafter be discharged from
any liability or responsibility therefor.

          14.  Primary Obligation.  The Company and each Pledgor
acknowledges and agrees that each is directly and primarily
liable to the Secured Parties with respect to its obligations
under this Agreement, that its obligations under this Agreement

                                                        155

<PAGE>



are independent of Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement,  and that a
separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted  against the Company or
any Pledgor to enforce this Agreement,  whether or not action is brought against
Company or any other  Pledgor or whether or not the Company or any other Pledgor
is  joined  in any  such  action  or  actions.  The  Company  and  each  Pledgor
acknowledges  and  agrees  that any  release  which may be given by the  Secured
Parties to the Company or any other Pledgor shall not release the Company or any
Pledgor from its obligations under this Agreement.

          15.  Waivers.  The  obligations  of the Company and each Pledgor under
this  Agreement  shall not be affected,  modified or impaired as a result of the
occurrence from time to time of any of the following, whether or not with notice
to or the consent of the Company or any Pledgor; (a) the compromise, settlement,
change,  modification,  amendment  (whether  material or  otherwise)  or partial
termination of any or all of the  Obligations  under any Loan Document;  (b) the
failure to give notice to the Company or any  Pledgor of the  occurrence  of any
default under the terms and provisions of any Loan  Document;  (c) the waiver of
the payment, performance or observance of any of Company's Obligations under any
Loan Document; (d) the taking or omitting to take any actions referred to in any
Loan  Document;  (e) any  failure,  omission or delay on the part of the Secured
Parties to enforce,  assert or exercise any right,  power or remedy conferred in
this Agreement,  any Loan Document or any other indulgence or similar act on the
part of the  Secured  Parties in  compliance  with  applicable  law;  or (f) the
voluntary or involuntary liquidation,  dissolution, sale or other disposition of
all or  substantially  all of the assets,  marshalling or assets,  receivership,
insolvency,  bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors or readjustment
of, or other similar  proceedings which affect,  Company or any of the assets of
the Company,  or any allegation of invalidity or contest of the validity of this
Agreement in any such proceeding.  The Company and each Pledgor waives any right
to require any  Secured  Party to (a)  proceed  against any person,  (b) proceed
against or exhaust any  Collateral,  (c) pursue any other remedy in such Secured
Party's  power.  The Company and each  Pledgor  hereby  waives:  (i) any and all
rights to require the  Secured  Parties to  prosecute  or to seek to enforce any
remedies  against  Company or any other party liable to the Secured Parties with
respect to Company's obligations under any Loan Document or to otherwise

                                                        156

<PAGE>



mitigate the Company's or any Pledgors's obligations under this Agreement;  (ii)
any right to assert against the Secured Parties with respect to the Company's or
Pledgors's  obligations  under this  Agreement any defense (legal or equitable),
set-off,  counterclaim, or claim which Pledgors may now or at any time hereafter
have  against the  Secured  Parties,  Company or any other  party  liable to the
Secured  Parties  in any way or  manner  under  any  Loan  Document;  (iii)  all
defenses,  counterclaims and off-sets of any kind or nature, arising directly or
indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection,  sufficiency, validity
or enforceability of any Loan Document;  and (iv) all presentments,  demands for
performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of
dishonor, and notices of default in connection with any Loan Document, notice of
acceptance of this Agreement and notice of the existence,  creation or incurring
of new or additional  Obligations under any Loan Document, and all other notices
or  formalities  to which  Pledgors  may be  entitled  with  respect to any Loan
Document.

          16. No  Subrogation.  Each Pledgor hereby agrees that unless and until
all Obligations (exclusive of future, contingent or unliquidated amounts arising
under indemnity  agreements) have been paid in full to the Secured  Parties,  it
shall not have any rights of subrogation,  reimbursement or contribution against
Company arising as a result of the performance of this Agreement,  and shall not
seek to assert or enforce any such rights.  Each Pledgor  acknowledges  that the
exercise by the Secured Parties of certain rights and remedies  contained in any
Loan Document may affect or eliminate such Pledgors's  right of subrogation,  if
any,  against  Company  arising as a result of its performance of this Agreement
and that such Pledgor may therefore incur a partially or totally nonreimbursable
liability hereunder, and each Pledgor hereby agrees that the Secured Parties may
in its sole discretion exercise any such right or remedy.

          17.  Attorneys Fees.

               (a) The Company agrees to pay to each Secured Party the amount of
any and all expenses,  including expenses incurred by the Administrative  Agent,
and  the  reasonable  fees  and  expenses  of its  counsel  (including,  without
limitation,  the allocated cost of in-house  counsel) and of any experts,  which
such Secured Party may incur in connection with (i) the custody

                                                        157

<PAGE>



or preservation of, or the sale of,  collection from, or other realization upon,
any of the Collateral;  (ii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of
any Secured Party hereunder;  or (iii) the failure by the Company or any Pledgor
to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof; provided that the payment of
such sums shall be made to the Secured Parties solely through the application of
proceeds in accordance with Section 9(a) hereof.

               (b) The Company  agrees to indemnify  and hold each Secured Party
harmless from and against any taxes, liabilities,  claims and damages, including
attorney's fees and disbursements (including,  without limitation, the allocated
cost of in-house  counsel),  and other expenses incurred or arising by reason of
the taking or the failure to take action by any Secured  Party in respect of any
transaction  effected  under  this  Agreement  or in  connection  with  the Lien
provided  for herein,  including,  without  limitation,  any taxes  payable with
respect to the Collateral or in connection with any transaction  contemplated by
this Agreement and any and all costs, losses,  liabilities,  claims,  damages or
expenses  incurred  by any  Secured  Party  arising  out  of any  investigation,
litigation  or other  proceeding  related to this  Agreement or any  transaction
contemplated  hereby,  except for the gross negligence and willful misconduct of
such Secured Party;  provided,  that such  indemnification  shall be made to the
Secured  Parties solely through the  application of proceeds in accordance  with
Section 9(a) hereof.

               (c) The obligations of the Company under this Section 17(a) shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.

          18. Future  Voting Stock.  If (i) The Peble Corp. or The Pebble Group,
Ltd.,  converts any of its Class B Common Stock into Voting  Stock,  and at such
time that  certain  Voting  Proxy  defined  in  Section  5.13(c)  of the  Credit
Agreement is no longer in effect, or (ii) any other shareholder  converts any of
its Class B Common Stock into Voting Stock, the Mitchell Family shall, within 30
days,  in the  aggregate,  convert a sufficient  number of its shares of Class B
Common  Stock into  Voting  Stock so as to hold not less than a majority  of the
Voting Stock pledged  hereunder.  The Pledgors  represent and warrant that there
are no restrictions  on the Mitchell Family  converting its Class B Common Stock
into Voting Stock at any time, and covenant not to agree,

                                                        158

               (b) No failure on the part of the Administrative  Agent or any of
its agents to  exercise,  and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay
in exercising,  any right,  power or remedy  hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent or
any of its agents of any right,  power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or
further  exercise  thereof or the exercise of any other right,  power or remedy.
The  remedies  herein  are  cumulative  and are not  exclusive  of any  remedies
provided by law.

               (c) If any provision  hereof is invalid and  unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the other provisions
hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such  jurisdiction  and shall be
liberally construed in favor of the Administrative  Agent and the Banks in order
to carry out the  intentions of the parties  hereto as nearly as may be possible
and  the  invalidity  or   unenforceability  of  any  provision  hereof  in  any
jurisdiction  shall not affect the validity or  enforceability of such provision
in any other jurisdiction.

               (d)   The   Administrative    Agent   may   employ   agents   and
attorneys-in-fact  in connection  herewith and shall not be responsible  for the
negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact  selected by it
in good faith.

               (e) The  agreements  of the  parties  hereto  are  solely for the

Company and each  Pledgor,  and then such waiver or consent  shall be  effective

MODIFICATIONS
TO THIS AGREEMENT.

          22. Consent to Amendment and Restatement.  The Pledgors hereby consent
to the amendment and  restatement of the Existing  Credit  Facility on the terms
