                      DIMON INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS






1.      Primary earnings per share are computed by dividing earnings by the
        weighted average number of shares outstanding plus any common stock
        equivalents during each period.  The fully diluted earnings per
        share calculation assumes that all of the Convertible Subordinated
        Debentures outstanding December 31, 1995, were converted during the
        quarter ended March 31, 1996, into Common Stock at the beginning of
        the reporting periods thereby increasing the weighted average number
        of shares considered outstanding during the periods.  Also, all
        interest expense on the debentures for the periods is added to pre-
        tax income and the hypothetical additional income tax expense is
        deducted.  The weighted average number of shares outstanding is
        increased by common stock equivalents on employee stock options.


2.      The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
        been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
        do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
        generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
        statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
        (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
        fair presentation have been included.


3.      On April 1, 1995, Dibrell Brothers, Incorporated (Dibrell) and Monk-
        Austin, Inc. (Monk-Austin) merged into DIMON Incorporated.  In
        connection with the merger, the Company incurred legal, accounting
        and financial consultants costs of $8.1 million and commenced
        various activities to restructure its worldwide operations.  In
        June, 1995, the Company provided a restructuring reserve of $17.9
        million pre-tax related primarily to eliminating duplicative
        facilities of tobacco operations and a reduction in the number of
        employees.  During the  six months ended December 31, 1995, an
        additional $2.8 million, pre-tax, was provided for restructuring the
        tobacco operations primarily in Brazil for a reduction in the number
        of employees.  Other provisions subsequent to December 31, 1995
        increased the 1996 fiscal year restructuring provision to $15.4
        million which was primarily for additional severance costs.  During
        the year ended June 30, 1996, the Company severed a total of 367
        employees in connection with restructuring.  The severed employees
        were primarily in the tobacco division and worked in various
        departments throughout the Company.  At June 30, 1996, the remaining
        cash outlays associated with employee separations were expected to
        total $15.2 million, of which $10.8 million will be expended in
        1997.  Remaining amounts relate primarily to the pension plan charge
        and other deferred compensation, which will be made as required for
        funding appropriate pension and other payments in future years.  No
        additional restructuring charges are anticipated.

        During the nine months ended March 31, 1997, the Company paid out
        $8.8 million, principally for employee separations.

4.      On February 9, 1996, the Company called for redemption on March 11,
        1996, all of the $54.3 million outstanding Convertible Subordinated
        Debentures.  As of March 4, 1996, holders of Debentures had
        converted 99.85% of the Debentures into 4,035,969 shares of the
        Company's common stock.  The remaining Debentures were redeemed on
        March 11, 1996, for $89,188.  The Company funded the redemption
        price for these Debentures from working capital.  Pro forma primary
        earnings per share as if the conversion had taken place at the
        beginning of the period would have been $.16 and $.79 for the three
        and nine months ended March 31, 1996, equal to the fully diluted
        amounts as disclosed in the statement of consolidated income.

5.      In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 the Company reclassified Other
        income into Sales and other operating revenues.  The Company also
        reclassified Sundry deductions into Cost of goods sold.  Both Other
        income and Sundry deductions are not material and the
        reclassification does not affect Net income.  Prior year accounts
        have been reclassified for conformity within the financial
        statements.


6.      The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended
        March 31, 1997 and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the
        results to be expected for the full year and should not be relied on
        as a basis for projecting year end results.  The Company's
        operations are seasonal and quarterly comparisons are of little
        value.  For additional information regarding accounting principles
        and other financial data, see Notes to Consolidated Financial
        Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
        ended June 30, 1996.

7.      On April 1, 1997, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of Intabex
        Worldwide S.A. ("Intabex") and certain tobacco related assets in
        Zimbabwe.  Intabex is a privately-owned Luxembourg holding company
        with coordination and service offices in Wokingham, England, near
        London.  It owns and operates leaf tobacco buying, processing and
        exporting operations in principal tobacco markets around the world
        including the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Malawi, Italy and
        Thailand.  Additionally, through an affiliated company in Zimbabwe
        whose tobacco interests DIMON is acquiring separately, Intabex is a
        major supplier of Zimbabwean and other African grown tobacco to the
        cigarette industry.  An Intabex subsidiary, Compania de Filipinas
        (CdF), is one of the two major suppliers of premium cigar leaf and
        other dark air-cured tobaccos to the resurgent cigar industry in the
        United States and Europe.

        The $264.19 million aggregate purchase price for Intabex, the
        Zimbabwe assets and other rights  acquired consisted of 1.70 million
        shares of DIMON common stock, $140 million in 10-year, 6.25 percent
        subordinated debentures convertible into 4.866 million DIMON shares
        at $28.77 per share, and $86.12 million in cash.  The  purchase
        price is subject to adjustment to the extent that the consolidated
        net worth of Intabex in its March 31, 1997 balance sheet, calculated
        in accordance with U.S. GAAP, supplemented by specified accounting
        principals, is less than $142 million.  Any such adjustment is
        repayable in immediately available funds together with interest
        accrued from April 1, 1997.

        Intabex's shareholders, Folium Inc., Tabacalera, S.A. and Leaf
        Management Investments Ltd., have agreed to indemnify DIMON against
        certain liabilities in connection with the acquisition of Intabex,
        subject to a maximum of $90 million.  DIMON may set-off any such
        liabilities against $90 million of the debentures held by Folium and
        Tabacalera.  The amount of debentures subject to set-off declines in
        stages, with $15 million subject to set-off after October 1, 1998
        through July 31, 1999, and $10 million subject to set-off from
        August 1, 1999, through April 1, 2000, subject to extension with
        respect to outstanding claims.  A DIMON subsidiary in Zimbabwe is
        entitled to similar indemnification and set-off rights in connection
        with the Zimbabwe tobacco assets purchased, subject to a maximum of
        $12 million.

        DIMON has granted Folium and Tabacalera, formerly Intabex's largest
        shareholders, the right to require DIMON to register the common
        stock issued in connection with the acquisition of Intabex or upon
        conversion of the debentures and the debentures themselves.  The
        demand registration rights may be exercised not more than twice by
        each of Folium and Tabacalera and may not be exercised before April
        1, 1998, or after March 31, 2001, subject to extension if
        registration is deferred by DIMON in certain cases.  Prior to April
        1, 1998, the DIMON shares and debentures will be "restricted" and
        transferable only pursuant to any applicable exemption from
        registration pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933.

        Also as part of the transaction, Anthony C.B. Taberer, the Chairman
        of Intabex, joined DIMON's Board of Directors and became non-
        executive Chairman of Intabex.  Mr. Taberer will serve as a
        consultant to a trading subsidiary of Intabex under an agreement
        with an initial term expiring in October 2000.  Folium has executed
        Non-Competition Agreements providing that it will not compete in the
        non-U.S. tobacco business through March 2002.  Mr. Taberer also has
        agreed to be subject to these agreements.

        The Company expects to allocate the purchase price to the various
        assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the March 31, 1997
        Intabex financial statements and include Intabex's June 30, 1997
        accounts in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and in the Consolidated
        Statement of Income for the three months ended June 30, 1997.  At
        March 31, 1997, the Company had advanced $14.9 million of the
        purchase price which is included in Other Assets in the Consolidated
        Balance Sheet.

        As Intabex was not required to keep historical cost and translation
        information in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting
        Principles, financial information is neither readily nor practically
        available for Intabex for quarterly periods prior to the
        acquisition.  Therefore, it is not possible to provide supplemental
        pro forma information on the results of the Company's consolidated
        operations as if these acquisitions took place at the beginning of
        the current or preceding fiscal years.  Net sales and net income for
        the twelve-month periods ending March 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were
        (in millions):

8.      On May 29, 1996, the Company issued $125 million in 8 7/8% Senior
        Notes (the "Notes") due 2006.  The Notes are general unsecured
        obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment with
        all other unsubordinated indebtedness.  DIMON International, Inc.
        and Florimex Worldwide, Inc.(collectively, the "Guarantors"), wholly
        owned subsidiaries of the Company, have fully and unconditionally
        guaranteed on a joint and several basis the Company's obligations to
        pay principal, premium and interest relative to the Notes.
        Management has determined that separate, full financial statements
        of the Guarantors would not be material to investors and such
        financial statements are not provided.  Supplemental combining
        financial information of the Guarantors is presented below:

8.   a.  Each of the Guarantors, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries,
         DIMON International, Inc. and Florimex Worldwide Inc., have
         fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several
         basis the performance and punctual payment  when due, whether at
         stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all of the
         Company's obligations under the Notes and the related indenture,
         including its obligations to pay principal, premium, if any, and
         interest with respect to the Notes.  The obligations of each
         Guarantor are limited to the maximum amount which, after giving
         effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such
         Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or
         payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect
         of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee
         or pursuant to its contribution obligations under the Indenture,
         can be guaranteed by the relevant Guarantor without resulting in
         the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee
         constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer
         under applicable federal or state law.  Each of the Guarantees
         are a guarantee of payment and not collection. Each Guarantor
         that makes a payment or distribution under a Guarantee shall be
         entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an
         amount pro rata, based on the assets less liabilities of each
         Guarantor determined in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles (GAAP).  The Company is not restricted
         from selling or otherwise disposing of any of the Guarantors
         other than DIMON International, Inc. provided that the proceeds
         of any such sale are applied as required by the Indenture.

         Florimex Worldwide, Inc. is the primary holding and operating
         company in the U.S. and represents the lead company for the
         flowers segment. The cut flowers operations consist of buying
         flowers from sources throughout the world and transporting them,
         normally by air, to operating units for resale to wholesalers
         and retailers.

         DIMON International, Inc. is the primary holding and operating
         company in the U.S. and represents the lead company in the
         Tobacco division whose operations consist primarily of
         selecting, buying, processing, packing, shipping, storing and
         financing tobacco.

    b.   DIMON Incorporated and each of the Guarantors has accounted for
         their respective subsidiaries on the equity basis.

    c.   Certain reclassifications were made to conform all of the
         financial information to the financial presentation on a
         consolidated basis. The principal eliminating entries  eliminate
         investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances.

    d.   Included in the above balance sheets are certain related party
         balances among borrower, the guarantors and non-guarantors.  Due
         to the Company's world-wide operations, related party activity
         is included in most balance sheet accounts. The tables below set
         forth the significant intercompany balances for each of the
         periods presented.

Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended
March 31,1996:

Sales and other operating revenues for the three-month period ended
March 31, 1997 were $668.1 million, an increase of 15.8% from $577.1
million for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996.  Sales from
tobacco operations increased 22.0% to $561.4 million in the three-month
period ended March 31, 1997 from $460.2 million in the corresponding
period in 1996.  The increase in tobacco sales was primarily due to
higher average prices, increases in quantities and increases in revenue
from services for U.S. grown tobacco and increases in average prices for
foreign grown tobacco, partially offset by decreases in quantities and
in revenue from services.  Higher average prices, increased quantities
and increases in revenue from services for U.S. tobacco and higher
average prices and decreased quantities for foreign grown tobacco
accounted for $17.6 million, $27.4 million, $20.7 million, $53.7
million and a decrease of $15.0 respectively, of the increase in
tobacco revenues. Increased quantities of products at higher average
prices increased sales of U.S. grown tobacco.  The increase in revenue
for services was primarily related to processing for Lorillard Tobacco
pursuant to an agreement entered into the late fiscal 1995.  Higher
prices of foreign grown tobacco was from virtually every origin,
including additional quantities in Brazil due to earlier than normal
sales at higher average prices due to product mix.  Sales from flower
operations decreased 8.7%, to $106.8 million in the three-month period
ended March 31, 1997 from $116.9 million for the three-month period ended
March 31, 1996.  This decrease in flower sales was primarily due to an
approximate $10.7 million decrease due to the effect of applying U.S.
dollar exchange rates.

Cost of sales and expenses for the period ended March 31, 1997, were
$627.3 million, an increase of $75.3 million, or 13.7%, from $552.0
million, before the $2.7 million charge for restructuring costs, for
the three-month period ended March 31, 1996.  Cost of sales and expenses
for the tobacco operations increased $86.5 million, or 19.9%, in the
three-month period ended March 31, 1997 over the corresponding period
in 1996, primarily due to the increased sales of tobacco in the period.
The gross profit for the tobacco operations increased 19.5% for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1997 over the corresponding period
in 1996, primarily due to increased sales of tobacco from Brazil.  The
Company's gross margin percentage for tobacco operations decreased to
10.2% for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 from 10.4% for the
corresponding period in 1996, due to lower gross margins in the U.S.,
South American and European tobacco operations.  Cost of sales and
expenses for the flower operations decreased $10.1 million, or 9.0%,
in the three-month period ended March 31, 1997  from the corresponding
period in 1996. The Company's gross margin percentage for flower
operations was the same at 11.3% for the three-month period ended
March 31, 1997 and for the corresponding period in 1996.  Corporate
expenses decreased $1.1 million, or 33.7%, for the three-month period
ended March 31, 1997 from the corresponding period in 1996, primarily
due to decreased personnel costs.

Interest expense decreased $1.9 million (17.4%) due to decreased rates,
partially offset by increased borrowings.

The effective tax rate decreased to 39.9% for the three-month period
ended March 31, 1997 from 40.0% for the corresponding period in 1996,
based on estimates of taxable income projected for each year.

Equity in net loss of the tobacco investee companies decreased $235
thousand for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 from the
corresponding period in 1996 due to increased income on the tobacco
operations in the U.S. and Greece.

Nine Months Ended March 31, 1997 Compared to Nine Months Ended
March 31, 1996:

Sales and other operating revenues for the nine-month period ended
March 31, 1997 were $1.850 billion, an increase of  10.1% from
$1.680 billion for the nine-month period ended March 31, 1996.
Sales from tobacco operations increased 12.4%, to $1.553 billion in
the nine-month period ended March 31, 1997 from $1.382 billion in the
corresponding period in 1996.  The increase in tobacco sales was due to
higher average prices of foreign grown tobacco, increased quantities,
increased average prices and increased service revenues from U.S.
tobacco, partially offset by decreased quantities of foreign grown
tobacco.  The increase in average prices for foreign grown tobacco,
increased quantities, higher average prices and increased service
revenues accounted for $121.1 million, $51.7 million, $9.1 million
and $14.1 million of the increase in tobacco revenues, respectively,
offset by a $25.8 million due to decreased quantities of foreign grown
tobacco.  The increased U.S. and foreign tobacco sales, primarily Africa
and Asia, are due to product mix.

Sales from flower operations decreased .5%, from $298.3 million in the
nine-month period ended March 31, 1996 to $297.0 million for the
nine-month period ended March 31, 1997.  This decrease in flower sales
was primarily due to an approximate $20.2 million decrease due to the
effect of applying U.S. dollar exchange rates, offset partially by
increases in European operations and Baardse.

Cost of sales and expenses for the nine-month period ended March 31,
1997, were $1.736 billion, an increase of $151.8 million, or 9.6%,
from $1.584 billion, before the $5.6 million charge for restructuring
costs, for the nine-month period ended March 31, 1996.  Cost of sales
and expenses for the tobacco operations increased $157.5 million, or
12.3%, in the nine-month period ended March 31, 1997 over the
corresponding period in 1996, primarily due to the higher sales in the
period for tobacco grown in the U.S., Africa and Asia.  The gross profit
for the tobacco operations increased 4.0% for the nine-month period ended
March 31, 1997 over the corresponding period in 1996, primarily due to
increased sales and gross margins on the operations in Africa, Asia and
South America, offset partially by decreased gross margins on the U.S.
operations.  The Company's gross margin percentage for tobacco operations
decreased to 11.2% for the nine-month period ended March 31, 1997 from
12.1% for the corresponding period in 1996, due to lower gross margins
in the U.S. operations, offset partially by higher gross margins in
Africa, Asian and South America.  Cost of sales and expenses for the
flower operations decreased $3.1 million, or 1.1%, in the nine-month
period ended March 31, 1997 from  the corresponding period in 1996
primarily due to the effect of applying U.S. dollar exchange rates.
The Company's gross margin percentage for flower operations was the
same at 10.7% for the nine-month period ended March 31, 1997 and for the
corresponding period in 1996.  Corporate expenses decreased $2.6 million,
or 23.0%, for the nine-month period ended March 31, 1997 from the
corresponding period in 1996, primarily due to decreased personnel costs.

Interest expense decreased $7.4 million (19.5%) due to decreased rates,
partially offset by increased borrowings.

The effective tax rate decreased to 39.3% for the nine-month period ended
March 31, 1997 from 40.0% for the corresponding period in 1996, based on
estimates of taxable income projected for each year.

Equity in net income of the tobacco investee companies increased $981
thousand for the nine-month period ended March 31, 1997 from the
corresponding period in 1996.  The increase is primarily due to the loss
for the tobacco operations investee in Brazil which was sold during
fiscal 1996 and to increased income in the tobacco operations in the U.S.
and Greece.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)


(in thousands)

FINANCIAL CONDITION:

The purchasing and processing activities of the Company's tobacco
business are seasonal.  The Company's need for capital fluctuates
accordingly and, at any of several seasonal peaks, the Company's
outstanding indebtedness may be significantly greater or lesser than
at year end.  The Company historically has needed capital in excess of
cash flow from operations to finance inventory and accounts receivable
and, more recently, to finance acquisitions of foreign tobacco operations
and flower operations.  The Company also prefinances tobacco crops in
certain foreign countries by making cash advances to farmers prior to
and during the growing season.

Reflecting the seasonal increase in the tobacco operations, DIMON's
working capital increased from $422.3 million at June 30, 1996 to $453.5
million at March 31, 1997.  The current ratio of 2.7 to 1 at June 30,
1996 increased to 2.8 to 1 at March 31, 1997.  At March 31, 1997, current
assets increased $38.4 million, or 5.7%, and current liabilities
increased $7.2 million, or 2.9%, from June 30, 1996.  Current assets
increased primarily due to increases in Trade receivables and Advances
on purchases of tobacco.  Current liabilities increased primarily due to
increases in Notes payable to banks, Accounts payable other, partially
offset by decreases in Advances from customers and Accrued expenses.

Cash flows provided  in operating activities decreased $176.5 million
from $146.6 million to a $29.9 million of cash flows used for the nine
months ended March 31, 1997 from  the same period last year, due
primarily to increases in Trade receivables and Advances on purchases
of tobacco and decreases in  Advances from customers and in Accounts
payable and Accrued expenses.  Cash flows used in investing activities
increased $19.7 million reflecting  sale of RGT shares and Philip Morris
shares in 1995, the Prepaid purchase cost-Intabex and offset partially
by the 1995 purchase of a subsidiary.  Cash flows used by financing
activities increased $205.5 million to  $41.2 million of cash flows
provided primarily due to net increased borrowings.

At March 31, 1997, DIMON had seasonally adjusted lines of credit of
$955.4 million, excluding the long-term credit agreements.  These
lines bear interest at rates ranging from 1.7% to 11.6%.  At March 31,
1997, unused lines of credit amounted to $536.2 million net of $155.1
million of letters of credit and guarantees that reduce lines of credit.
Total maximum outstanding short-term borrowings during the nine months
ended March 31, 1997 were $566.5 million.

The Company uses its $240 million Revolving Credit Facility to
reclassify $240 million of its short-term debt.  The interest rates
available under the Revolving Credit Facility depend on the type of
advance selected and are based either on the agent bank's base lending
rate (which was 8.50% at March 31, 1997, and is adjusted with changes in
interest rates generally) or LIBOR plus 0.75%, through March 15, 1997,
and thereafter plus a spread of 0.45% to 1.25% based on the ratings
assigned to the Company's outstanding senior debt or on its consolidated
interest coverage ratio.  The Revolving Credit Facility is subject to
certain commitment fees and covenants that among other things require
the Company to maintain minimum working capital and tangible net worth
amounts, require specific liquidity and long-term solvency ratios and
restrict acquisitions and, under certain circumstances, payment of
dividends by the Company.  The Revolving Credit Facility originally
terminated on March 15, 1998, but has been extended until June 30,
1998, and may be extended thereafter, year to year, upon approval of the
Lenders.  As of March 31, 1997, there were no borrowings outstanding
under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Company has historically financed its operations through a
combination of short-term lines of credit, customer advances, cash from
operations and equity and equity-linked securities.  At March 31, 1997,
the Company had no material capital expenditure commitments other than
the acquisition of Intabex as of April 1, 1997.  The Company believes
that these sources of funds combined with the Senior Notes are sufficient
to fund the Company's purchasing and capital needs for fiscal 1997.

      Re:   Credit Agreement dated as of March 15, 1996 (the "Credit
            Agreement") among DIMON Incorporated (the "Borrower"), the
            several lenders party thereto (the "Lenders") and NationsBank,
            N.A., as agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the "Agent")

Dear Jim:

The defined terms in the above referenced Credit Agreement are
incorporated herein by reference.

You have informed us that the Borrower has entered into an agreement to
acquire (the "Intabex Acquisition") Intabex Holdings Worldwide S.A.
("Intabex") and the tobacco related assets of its affiliate, Tabex PVT
Limited.  In connection therein, you have requested that the Lenders
consent to the Intabex Acquisition, make certain amendments to the Credit
Agreement necessary in connection with the Intabex Acquisition and extend
the Termination Date under and as defined in the Credit Agreement.

Pursuant to your request, the undersigned Lenders hereby agree with you as
follows:

          ( a )       The Borrower shall be permitted to consummate the
Intabex Acquisition notwithstanding the terms of Section 8.5
( a ) of the Credit Agreement, provided that

               ( i )        The purchase agreement (including all
          schedules exhibits thereto) for the Intabex Acquisition
          (the "Purchase Agreement") is reasonably satisfactory in
          form and substance to the Agent and is not altered,
          amended or otherwise changed or supplemented in any
          material respect without the prior written consent of
          the Agent;

               ( ii )       The Purchase Agreement is consummated
          ( A ) on or before June 30, 1997, ( B ) in accordance
          with the terms thereof (including without limitation by
          satisfaction in all material respects of the conditions
          precedent to the obligations of the Borrower as buyer
          thereunder) and ( C ) in compliance with applicable law
          and regulatory approvals;

               ( iii )             The representations and
          warranties set forth in Article V of the Credit
          Agreement (except for those expressly relating to an
          earlier date) are true and correct in all material
          respects as of the date of the Intabex Acquisition after
          giving effect thereto; and

               ( iv )       No Default or Event of Default exists and
          is continuing as of the date of the Intabex Acquisition after
          giving effect thereto.

In addition, the parties hereto expressly acknowledge and
agree that the Intabex Acquisition shall not be included in
any determination regarding additional acquisitions under
Section 8.5.

          ( b )       The Borrower shall be permitted to issue to the
seller of Intabex the Borrower's $140 million subordinated
debenture bearing interest at 6.25% and maturing in ten years,
without regard to requirements of Section 8.2 ( a ) ( ii ).

          ( c )       The reference in Section 8.2 ( b ) to $5,000,000
is hereby increased to $90,000,000, the reference in Section
8.2 ( b ) to $525,000,000 is hereby increased to $850,000,000
and the parties hereto acknowledge that the Borrower will not
be required to satisfy the conditions contained in the proviso
at the end of Section 8.2 ( b ) with respect to Debt assumed
in connection with the Intabex Acquisition.

          ( d )       The reference in Section 8.3 to $75,000,000
is hereby increased to $150,000,000.

          ( e )       The term "Change of Control" set forth in
Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement hereafter shall be
deemed to include, without limitation, a Change of Control
under and as defined in Section 1406 of the Indenture attached
as Exhibit J to the Purchase Agreement.

          ( f )       The definition of "Termination Date" set
forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended
in its entirety to read as follows:

     "Termination Date" shall mean the earlier to occur of
     ( i ) June 30, 1998 or such later anniversary thereof as
     the Commitments may have extended by the Lenders
     pursuant to Section 2.8, or ( ii ) the date of
     termination in whole of the Aggregate Commitment pursuant
     to Section 2.5 or 9.2.

The consent and amendment set forth above shall be and become
effective as of the date hereof when counterparts of this
letter agreement shall have been duly executed on behalf of
(A) the Borrower, (B) each of the Guarantors and (C)(1) with
respect to the consents and amendments contained in paragraphs
( a ), ( b ), ( c ), ( d ) and ( e ) above, the Required
Lenders and (2) with respect to the amendment contained in
paragraph ( f ) above, each of the Lenders.

Except as waived or amended hereby, all of the terms and
provisions of the Credit Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect.

This letter may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall constitute an original but all of which
when taken together shall constitute but one contract.
