NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows: 1. Intercompany Indebtedness Subordinated to Senior Debt. The recitals ----------------------------------------------------- set forth above are hereby incorporated by reference. All Intercompany Indebtedness shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions contained herein. 2. Payment Over of Proceeds Upon Dissolution, Etc., Upon any ----------------------------------------------- distribution of assets of any Company in the event of (a) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relative to any such Company or to its creditors, as such, or to its assets, or (b) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of any such Company, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or (c) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshalling of assets and liabilities of any such Company (a Company distributing assets as set forth herein being referred to in such capacity as a "Distributing Company"), then and 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 become due (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) on or in respect of any and all Senior Debt before the holder of any Intercompany Indebtedness owed by the Distributing Company is entitled to receive any payment on account of the principal of or interest on such Intercompany Indebtedness, and to that end, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive, for application to the payment of the Senior Debt, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, which may be payable or deliverable in respect of the Intercompany Indebtedness owed by the Distributing Company in any such case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding up event. If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, a Company 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 received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied (in the case of cash) to or held as collateral (in the case of noncash property or securities) for the payment or prepayment of the Senior Debt in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreements. The provisions of this Section shall not apply with respect to transactions permitted under Section 8.2(j)(i) or (ii) of the Credit Agreement or Section 10.6(a) of the Note Purchase Agreements. 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 Indebtedness. 4. Prior Payment of Senior Debt Upon Acceleration of Intercompany -------------------------------------------------------------- Indebtedness. If any portion of the Intercompany Indebtedness owed by any - ------------ 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 their respective interests may appear. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any payment with respect to which Section 2 hereof would be applicable. 5. No Payment When Senior Debt in Default; Optional Redemption. If any ----------------------------------------------------------- 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 Intercompany Indebtedness effected by the occurrence of such an Event of Default or Default or Potential Default shall thereupon cease and terminate and payments 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 occur after the execution of this Agreement, such Event of Default or Default or 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 full force and effect until all of the Senior Debt shall be satisfied in full and the Revolving Credit Commitments, Term Loan 3 Commitments and the Swing Loan Commitment of the Banks under the Credit Agreement shall have expired, regardless of whether such Event of Default or 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. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any payment with respect to which Section 2 hereof would be applicable. 6. Payment Permitted if No Default. Nothing contained in this Agreement ------------------------------- 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. 9. Agreement Solely to Define Relative Rights. The purpose of this ------------------------------------------ Agreement is solely to define the relative rights of the Companies, on the one 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 Intercompany Indebtedness is created, subject to the rights, if any, under this 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 ----------------------------------- on behalf of the Agent, the Bank or the Noteholders to enforce subordination as 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. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the 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 the Note Purchase Agreements, without incurring responsibility to the Companies and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Agreement or the obligations hereunder of the Companies to the Agent, the Banks and the Noteholders, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment, or extend the time payment, renew or alter the Senior Debt or otherwise amend or supplement the Senior Debt, the Senior Loan Documents or the Note Purchase Agreement; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing the Senior Debt; (iii) release any person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Senior Debt; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any of the Companies and any other person. 11. Additional Subsidiaries.

Amendments or Waivers. Any and all agreements amending ----------------------------------- or changing any provision of this Agreement or the rights of the Agent, the Banks or the Noteholders hereunder, and any and all waivers or consents to Events of Default or other departures from the due performance of the Companies hereunder shall be made only by written agreement, waiver or consent signed by the Collateral Agent, acting on behalf of the Agent, the Banks and the Noteholders, with the written consent of the Required Creditors, any such agreement, waiver or consent made with such written consent being effective to bind all the Banks. 14. Expenses. The Companies unconditionally and jointly and severally -------- agree upon demand to pay to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Agent, the Banks and the Noteholders the amount of any and all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements for which reimbursement is customarily obtained, including fees and expenses of counsel, which the Collateral Agent, the Agent, any of the Banks or any of the Noteholders may incur in connection with (a) the administration of this Agreement, (b) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Agent, the Banks or the Noteholders hereunder, or (c) the failure by the Companies to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. 15. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be ------------ severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction. 16.
