set forth above are hereby incorporated by reference. All Intercompany
Indebtedness shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior

in any such event the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive, for the
benefit of the Agent, the Banks and the Noteholders as their respective
interests may appear, indefeasible payment in full of all amounts due or to

which is owed Intercompany Indebtedness by a Distributing Company shall have
received any payment or distribution of assets from the Distributing Company of
any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, then and in such
event such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of the
Agent, the Banks and the Noteholders as their respective interests may appear,
shall be segregated from other funds and property held by such Company, and
shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so

                                       2

 
     3.   No Commencement of any Proceeding. Each Company agrees that, so long
          ---------------------------------                                   
as the Senior Debt shall remain unpaid, it will not commence, or join with any
creditor other than the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Banks, the Agent and
the Noteholders in commencing, any proceeding referred to in the first paragraph
of Section 2 against any other Company which owes it any Intercompany

Company becomes or is declared due and payable before its stated maturity, then
and in such event the Agent, the Banks and the Noteholders shall be entitled to
receive indefeasible payment in full of all amounts due and to become due on or
in respect of the Senior Debt (whether or not an Event of Default has occurred
under the terms of the Senior Loan Documents or the Note Purchase Agreements or
the Senior Debt has been declared due and payable prior to the date on which it
would otherwise have become due and payable) before the holder of any such
Intercompany Indebtedness is entitled to receive any payment thereon.

     If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Company shall make any payment of
Intercompany Indebtedness prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this
Section, such payment shall be paid over and delivered forthwith to the
Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Agent, the Banks and the Noteholders as

          -----------------------------------------------------------        
Event of Default or Default or Potential Default shall have occurred and be
continuing or such an Event of Default or Default or Potential Default would
result from or exist after giving effect to a payment with respect to any
portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness, unless the Required Creditors (as such
term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) shall have consented to or
waived the same, so long as any of the Senior Debt shall remain outstanding, no
payment shall be made by the Company owing such Intercompany Indebtedness on
account of principal or interest on any portion of the Intercompany
Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Company agrees that if an
Event of Default or Default or Potential Default, having occurred, thereafter
shall be cured and shall cease to continue, the subordination of the

thereafter becoming due in the ordinary course may be made and received,
subject, however, to the provisions of the first sentence of this paragraph and
to the further proviso that if, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the
occurrence of the first Event of Default or Default or Potential Default to

Potential Default shall recur or there shall occur any other Event of Default or
Default or Potential Default, the subordination described in this Section 5
shall immediately and without any requirement of action or notice of whatever
kind by the Agent, the Banks or the Noteholders be reinstituted and remain in

Default or Potential Default shall thereafter be cured.

     If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Company shall make any payment of
the Intercompany Indebtedness to another Company prohibited by the foregoing
provisions of this Section, such payment shall be paid over and delivered
forthwith to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Agent, the Banks and
the Noteholders as their respective interests may appear.

to which Section 2 hereof would be applicable.

          -------------------------------                                     
shall prevent any of the Companies, at any time except during the pendency of
any of the conditions described in Sections 2, 4 and 5, other than as provided
in such Sections, from making payments at any time of principal of or interest
on any portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness, or the retention thereof by any
of the Companies of any money deposited with them for the payment of or on
account of the principal of or interest on the Intercompany Indebtedness.

     7.   Rights of Subrogation. Each Company agrees that no payment or
          ---------------------                                        
distribution to the Agent, the Banks or the Noteholders pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement shall entitle it to exercise any rights of
subrogation in respect thereof until the Senior Debt shall have been
indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving Credit Commitments, Term Loan
Commitments and the Swing Loan Commitment shall have terminated.

     8.   Instruments Evidencing Intercompany Indebtedness. Each Company shall
          ------------------------------------------------                    
cause each instrument which now or hereafter evidences all or a portion of the
Intercompany Indebtedness to be conspicuously marked as follows:

          "This instrument is subject to the terms of an Intercompany
          Subordination Agreement dated as of June 15, 1996 in favor of PNC
          Bank, National Association, as collateral agent, which Intercompany
          Subordination Agreement is incorporated herein by reference.
          Notwithstanding any contrary statement contained in the within
          instrument, no payment on account of the principal thereof or interest
          thereon shall become due or payable except in accordance with the
          express terms of said Intercompany Subordination Agreement."

     Each Company will further mark its books of account in such a manner as
shall be effective to give proper notice to the effect of this Agreement.

hand, and the Agent, the Banks and the Noteholders, on the other hand. Nothing
contained in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair, as between any of
the Companies and their creditors other than the Collateral Agent on behalf of
the Agent, the Banks and the Noteholders, the obligation of the Companies to
each

                                       4

 
other to pay the principal of and interest on the Intercompany Indebtedness as
and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with its terms, or
is intended to or shall affect the relative rights among the Companies and their
creditors other than the Agent and the Banks, nor shall anything herein prevent
any of the Companies from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by
applicable Law upon default under any agreement pursuant to which the

Agreement of the Agent, the Banks and the Noteholders to receive cash, property
or securities otherwise payable or deliverable with respect to the Intercompany
Indebtedness.

     10.  No Implied Waivers of Subordination. No right of the Collateral Agent

herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any
act or failure to act on the part of any Company or by any act or failure to act
by the Agent, any Bank or any of the Noteholders, or by any non-compliance by
any Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of any agreement pursuant
to which the Intercompany indebtedness is created, regardless of any knowledge
thereof the agent, any Bank or any of the Noteholders may have or be otherwise
charged with. Each Company by its acceptance hereof shall agree that, so long as
there is Senior Debt outstanding or Revolving Credit Commitments, Term Loan
Commitments or the Swing Loan Commitment in effect under the Credit Agreement,
such Company shall not agree to sell, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise
dispose of, or to compromise, release, forgive or otherwise discharge the
obligations of the other Companies with respect to their Intercompany
Indebtedness, other than by means of payment of such Intercompany Indebtedness
according to its terms, without the prior written consent of the Collateral
Agent.

Collateral Agent on behalf of the Agent, the Banks and the Noteholders may, at
any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the
Companies except the Borrower to the extent provided in the Credit Agreement or

any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing the Senior Debt; (iii)

such Subsidiary by any of the Companies or other Subsidiaries hereafter created
or acquired substantially in the form of this Agreement.

          ---------------------------
