untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, such Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (B) provide each Notice Holder a copy of any documents filed pursuant to Section 2.1(d)(i)(A); and (C) inform each Notice Holder that the Company has complied with its obligations in Section 2.1(d)(i)(A) and that the Registration Statement and related Prospectus may be used for the purpose of selling all or any of such Registrable Securities (or that, if the Company has filed a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration which has not yet been declared effective, the Company will notify each Notice Holder to that effect, will use all commercially reasonable best efforts to secure the effectiveness of such post-effective amendment and will immediately so notify each Notice Holder when the amendment has become effective); each Notice Holder will sell all or any of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration and related Prospectus only during the sixty (60) day period in the case of registration on Form S-3, or the ninety (90) day period in the case of registration on any other form available for registration, commencing with the date on which the Company gives notice (such sixty (60) or ninety (90) day period, as the case may be, to be calculated without regard to any Deferral Period), pursuant to
Section 2.1(d)(i)(C), that the Registration Statement and Prospectus may be used for such purpose; each Notice Holder agrees that it will not sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement or Prospectus after such Selling Period without giving a new notice of intention to sell pursuant to Section 2.1(d) hereof and receiving a further notice from the Company pursuant to Section 2.1(d)(i)(C) hereof; or

(ii) if, in the judgment of the Company, it is advisable to suspend use of the Prospectus for a period of time due to pending material corporate developments or similar material events that have not yet been publicly disclosed and as to which the Company believes public disclosure will be prejudicial to the Company, the Company shall deliver a certificate in writing, signed by its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or General Counsel, to the Notice Holders, the Special Counsel and the Managing Underwriters, if any, to the effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such certificate, each such Notice Holder's Selling Period will not commence until such Notice Holder's receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus provided for in Section 2.1(d)(i)(A) hereof, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the Prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such Prospectus. The Company will use all commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and the Selling Period will commence, upon the earlier of (x) public disclosure of such pending material corporate development or similar material event or (y) a determination by the Company

7

that, in the judgment of the Company, public disclosure of such material corporate development or similar material event would not be prejudicial to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not under any circumstances be entitled to exercise its right under Section 2.1(d)(ii) to defer the commencement of a Selling Period more than one time in any three
(3)-month period or two times in any twelve (12)-month period, and the period in which a Selling Period is suspended shall not exceed fifteen (15) days unless the Company shall deliver to such Notice Holders a second certificate to the effect set forth above, which shall have the effect of extending the period during which such Selling Period is deferred by up to an additional fifteen (15) days, or such shorter period of time as is specified in such second certificate. In no event shall the Company be permitted to extend the period during which such Selling Period is deferred from and after the date a Notice Holder provides notice to the Company in accordance with Section 2.1(d)(ii) of its intention to distribute Registrable Securities beyond such thirty (30)-day period.

SECTION 2.2 Demand Registration.

(a) At any time during the Effectiveness Period, any holder or holders of Registrable Securities (the "Demand Holders") may request in writing that the Company file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of all or a portion of the Registrable Securities then held by the Demand Holders (a "Demand Registration"). After the date on which the Company receives such a request, the Company shall use all commercially reasonable best efforts (i) to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act on the appropriate form (using Form S-3 or other "short form," if available and advised by counsel) covering all of the Registrable Securities specified by the holders within forty-five (45) days after the date of such request (thirty (30) days in the case of a Form S-3) and (ii) to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective within sixty (60) days (forty-five (45) days in the case of a Form S-3) after the filing referenced in clause (i) above. The Company will keep the Demand Registration current and effective for at least one hundred twenty
(120) days (such one hundred twenty (120) day period to be calculated without regard to any Deferral Period), or a shorter period during which the holders shall have sold all Registrable Securities covered by the Demand Registration.

(b) In the event a holder of Registrable Securities makes a demand to register pursuant to Section 2.2 and later determines not to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration, the Company shall cease all efforts to secure registration for such holder's Registrable Securities and shall take all action necessary to prevent the commencement of effectiveness for any registration that it is preparing or has prepared in connection with the withdrawn request, and such holder's Demand Registration shall be reinstated as if never exercised; provided, however, that such holder withdrawing such demand shall pay all of the costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such withdrawn demand, unless the withdrawal is a result of a breach by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement.

8

(c) National Union shall be entitled to two (2) Demand Registrations pursuant to Section 2.2, provided that it shall not be entitled to exercise more than one (1) Demand Registrations during any twelve (12)-month period. TSC, O&G, ULLICO and BLUM (together with The Common Fund and PB Capital) shall each have one (1) Demand Registration right pursuant to Section 2.2.

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.2, if the Company is requested to file any registration under Section 2.2:

(i) The Company shall have the right to defer the filing of a Registration Statement relating to a Demand Registration during the ninety
(90) days following the effective date of any other Registration Statement pertaining to an underwritten public offering of securities for the account of the Company or security holders of the Company or such earlier date as such distribution shall be completed; or

(ii) The Company shall have the right to defer the filing after receipt of the Demand Holders request or if a Registration Statement relating to a Demand Registration has already been filed, the Company may cause the Registration Statement to be withdrawn and its effectiveness to be terminated, or may postpone amending or supplementing the Registration Statement, until the Board of Directors determines that the circumstances requiring the withdrawal or postponement no longer exist, if, in the judgment of the Company, (i) it is advisable to suspend use of the Prospectus for a period of time due to pending material corporate developments or similar material events that have not yet been publicly disclosed and as to which the Company believes public disclosure will be prejudicial to the Company or (ii) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that there is a valid business purpose or reason for delaying such filing or effectiveness. The Company shall deliver a certificate in writing, signed by its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or General Counsel, to the holders of Registrable Securities, the Special Counsel and the Managing Underwriters, if any, to the effect of the foregoing and, upon receipt of such certificate, each such holder's Selling Period will not commence until such holder's receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the Prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such Prospectus. The Company will use all commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and the Selling Period will commence, upon the earlier of (x) public disclosure of such pending material corporate development or similar material event or (y) a determination by the Company that, in the judgment of the Company, public disclosure of such material corporate development or similar material event would not be prejudicial to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not under any circumstances be entitled to exercise its right under this Section

9

2.2(d)(ii) to defer the commencement of a Selling Period more than sixty
(60) days during any twelve (12)-month period.

(e) A Demand Registration shall not count as such until a Registration Statement becomes effective; provided, that if, after it has become effective, the offering pursuant to the Registration Statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental authority, such registration shall be deemed not to have been effected unless such stop order, injunction or other order shall subsequently have been vacated or otherwise removed within fifteen (15) days of the imposition thereof.

(f) The Demand Holders shall select the underwriter or underwriters (including Managing Underwriter) of any offering pursuant to a Demand Registration, subject to the approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

SECTION 2.3 Piggyback Registration.

(a) Subject to applicable stock exchange rules and securities regulations, at least thirty (30) days prior to any public offering of any of its capital stock of the Company for the account of the Company or any other Person (other than a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or S-8 (or any successor forms under the Securities Act), relating solely to employee benefit plans or any transaction governed by Rule 145 of the Securities Act or Registration Statement filed pursuant to the Shelf Registration under Section 2.1 of this Agreement or any substantially comparable shelf registration right granted by the company to any shareholder not a party to this Agreement), the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing and of the proposed date thereof to the holders and if, on or before the twentieth (20th) day (or such earlier day specified if registration is for the account of any other Person) following the date on which such notice is given, (i) a Registration Statement covering the sale of all of the Registrable Securities is not then effective and available for sales thereof by the holders and (ii) the Company shall receive written requests from any holders of Registrable Securities requesting that the Company include among the securities covered by such Registration Statement any or all of the Registrable Securities for offering, specifying the amount of Registrable Securities that such holder intends to sell and such holder's intended method of distribution, the Company shall include such Registrable Securities in such Registration Statement, if filed, so as to permit such Registrable Securities to be sold or disposed of in the manner and on the terms of the offering thereof set forth in such request. Each such registration shall hereinafter be called a "Piggyback Registration." The Company shall select the underwriter or underwriters, including Managing Underwriter, of any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.3, provided that any selected underwriter shall be a well-recognized firm in good standing of national reputation.

(b) Upon receipt of a request for Piggyback Registration, the Company shall use all commercially reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register to be registered under the Securities Act to the extent

10

necessary to permit their sale or other disposition in accordance with the intended methods of distribution specified in the request of such holder; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right, prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement, to postpone or withdraw such a registration effected pursuant to this Section 2.3 without obligation to the holders, other than the Company's obligation to pay the expenses incurred by the holders in connection with the registration; provided, further, that if the registration is pursuant to a Demand Registration, the Company shall only have the right to defer the registration in accordance with Section 2.2(d). In the event a holder of Registrable Securities makes a demand to register pursuant to this Section 2.3 and later determines not to sell Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration, the Company shall cease all efforts to secure registration for such holder's Registrable Securities.

(c) If such registration being effected pursuant to a Piggyback Registration is a Company registration or a registration pursuant to an underwritten offering, the shares of Common Stock available for sale shall be allocated in accordance with Article III of this Agreement.

(d) No registration effected under Section 2.3 shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect a demand registration under Section 2.2, nor shall any registration under this Section 2.3 be deemed to have been effected under
Section 2.2.

ARTICLE III

UNDERWRITERS' CUTBACK

SECTION 3.1 Underwriter's Cutback.

(a) If, in connection with any underwritten public offering for the account of the Company, the Managing Underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock (the "Saleable Number") which may be included in the Registration Statement that is less than all of the shares of Common Stock sought to be registered because, in such Managing Underwriter(s)' commercially reasonable judgment, marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate public distributions, then the number of shares of Common Stock offered shall be limited to the Saleable Number. The Company will promptly so advise each holder of Registrable Securities that has requested registration, and will include shares of Common Stock in such registration in the following order of priority: (A) the shares of Common Stock the Company desires to include in such registration up to the total number of shares sought to be registered; (B) the Registrable Securities that the holders desire to include in such registration up to the total sought to be registered; and (C) the balance of securities, if any, to be registered by other holders of the Company's Common Stock to the extent such security holders have piggyback registration rights and have sought to include their securities in such registration, in each case until the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock included in such registration is equal to the

11

number thereof that, in the opinion of such Managing Underwriter(s), can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability thereof.

(b) If, in connection with any underwritten public offering for the account of any security holder of the Company exercising its demand registration right (other than the holder of Registrable Securities), the Saleable Number which may be included in the Registration Statement is less than all of the shares of Common Stock sought to be registered because, in the Managing Underwriter(s)' commercially reasonable judgment, marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate public distributions, then the number of securities offered shall be limited to the Saleable Number. The Company will promptly so advise each holder of Registrable Securities that has requested registration, and will include in such registration in the following order of priority: (A) the shares of Common Stock sought to be registered by holders of the Company's Common Stock who have exercised their demand registration right (to the extent the holders exercising such rights possessed such rights prior to the date hereof); (B) the Registrable Securities that the holders desire to include in such registration up to the total sought to be registered and the shares of Common Stock sought to be registered by holders of the Company's Common Stock who have exercised their demand registration right (to the extent the holders exercising such rights obtained such rights on or after the date hereof); (C) any securities to be registered for the account of the Company together with the balance of securities, if any, to be registered by other holders of the Company's Common Stock to the extent such security holders have piggyback registration rights and have sought to include their securities in such registration, in each case until the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock included in such registration is equal to the number thereof that, in the opinion of such Managing Underwriter(s), can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability thereof.

(c) If, in connection with any underwritten public offering for the account of the holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to their Demand Registration right, as the case may be, the Saleable Number which may be included in the Registration Statement is less than all of the shares of Common Stock sought to be registered because, in such underwriter(s)' commercially reasonable judgment, marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate public distributions, then the Company will promptly so advise each holder of Registrable Securities that has requested registration, and will include in such registration in the following order of priority: (A) the Registrable Shares that the holders who have exercised their Demand Registration right desire to include in such registration; (B) the shares of Registrable Securities sought to be registered by holders exercising their Piggyback Registration rights; and (C) any securities to be registered for the account of the Company together with the balance of securities, if any, to be registered by other holders of the Company's Common Stock to the extent such security holders have piggyback registration rights and have sought to include their securities in such registration, in each case until the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock included in such registration is equal to the number thereof that, in the opinion of such Managing Underwriter(s), can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability thereof.

12

(d) If the number of shares of Common Stock that the Managing Underwriter(s) advise the Company can be registered is less than all of the Registrable Securities that the holders have sought to register, each holder requesting registration pursuant to rights granted under this Agreement shall be allocated the number of Registrable Securities eligible for registration pro rata in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities sought to be registered under the applicable Registration Statement without regard to the securities held by holders who have not sought registration.

ARTICLE IV

REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

SECTION 4.1 Registration Procedures. In connection with the Company's registration obligations under Article II hereof, the Company shall effect such registrations to permit the sale of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall as expeditiously as possible:

(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement or Registration Statements on the form specified in this Agreement or, if no form has been specified, on any appropriate form under the Securities Act available for the sale of the Registrable Securities by the holders thereof in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and use all commercially reasonable best efforts to cause each such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective as provided herein; provided, that before filing any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (other than documents that would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference and that the Company is required by applicable securities laws or stock exchange requirements to file) the Company shall furnish to the holders of Registrable Securities, the Special Counsel and the Managing Underwriters of such offering, if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of the holders of Registrable Securities, the Special Counsel and such Managing Underwriters, and the Company shall not file any such Registration Statement or amendment thereto or any Prospectus or any supplement thereto (other than such documents which, upon filing, would be incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein and that the Company is required by applicable securities laws or stock exchange requirements to file) to which the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or the Special Counsel shall reasonably object in writing within two (2) full Business Days after receipt of such materials.

(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective for the applicable period specified in Article II; cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar

13

provisions then in force) under the Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or such Prospectus as so supplemented.

(c) Notify the selling holders of Registrable Securities, the Special Counsel and the Managing Underwriters, if any, promptly, and (if requested by any such person) confirm such notice in writing, (i) when a Prospectus, any Prospectus supplement, a Registration Statement, an amendment or a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement has been filed with the SEC, and, with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information, and of the contents of such request, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the existence of any fact or happening of any event which makes any statement of a material fact in such Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue or which would require the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus in order that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, provided that the Company shall not be required to disclose such fact or event if such fact or event has not been, and is not required to be, publicly disclosed, and (vi) of the Company's determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement or supplement to a Prospectus would be appropriate.

(d) Use all commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the lifting of any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest possible moment.

(e) If reasonably requested by a holder of Registrable Securities, the Special Counsel, the Managing Underwriters, if any, or requested by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold, (i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or amendment or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement such information as the holders of Registrable Securities, the Special Counsel, the Managing Underwriters,

14

if any, or such holders, in connection with any offering of Registrable Securities, agree should be included therein as required by applicable law, and
(ii) make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such amendment or post-effective amendment as promptly as is practicable after the Company has received notification of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; provided, that the Company shall not be required to take any actions under this Section 4.1(e) that are not, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Company, in compliance with or required by applicable law.

(f) Furnish to each selling holder of Registrable Securities, the Special Counsel, and each Managing Underwriter, if any, without charge, at least one conformed copy of the Registration Statement or Statements and any amendment thereto, including financial statements but excluding schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits (unless requested in writing by such holder, Special Counsel or Managing Underwriter).

(g) Deliver to each selling holder of Registrable Securities, the Special Counsel, and each Managing Underwriter, if any, in connection with any offering of Registrable Securities, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses relating to such Registrable Securities (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto as such persons may reasonably request; and the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus or each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling holders of Registrable Securities and the underwriters, if any, in connection with any offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto.

(h) Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling holders of Registrable Securities, the Managing Underwriters, if any, and the Special Counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any selling holder or Managing Underwriter reasonably requests in writing to the Company; keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement; provided, that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or (ii) take any action that would subject it to general service of process in suits or to taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

(i) Cause the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities within the United States, except as may be required solely as a consequence of the nature of a selling holder of Registrable Securities, in which case the Company will cooperate in all reasonable respects with the filing of such Registration Statement and the

15

granting of such approvals, as may be necessary to enable the selling holder or holders thereof or the Managing Underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

(j) During any Selling Period (other than during a Deferral Period), immediately upon the existence of any fact or the occurrence of any event as a result of which a Registration Statement shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or a Prospectus shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, promptly notify the holders, Special Counsel and any Managing Underwrite to discontinue use of such Registration Statement; promptly prepare and file an amendment or post-effective amendment to each Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document (such as a Current Report on Form 8-K) that would be incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement so that the Registration Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and so that the Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder, and, in the case of a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement, use all commercially reasonable best efforts to cause it to become effective as promptly as is practicable.

(k) Enter into such agreements (including, in the event of an Underwritten Offering, an underwriting agreement in form, scope and substance as is customary in Underwritten Offerings) and take all such other actions in connection therewith (including, in the event of an underwritten offering, those reasonably requested by the Managing Underwriters, if any, or the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold) in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities and in such connection, whether or not an underwriting agreement is entered into, and if the registration is an underwritten registration, (i) make such representations and warranties, subject to the Company's ability to do so, to the holders of such Registrable Securities and the underwriters with respect to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated by reference, if any, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in underwritten offerings and confirm the same if and when requested; (ii) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Underwriters, if any, Special Counsel and the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold) addressed to each of the underwriters covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably

16

requested by such Special Counsel and Managing Underwriters; (iii) obtain "comfort" letters and updates thereof from the independent certified public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the Company or any business acquired or to be acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data is, or is required to be, included in the Registration Statement), addressed to each of the Managing Underwriters, if any, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in "comfort" letters in connection with Underwritten Offerings; and (iv) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold, the Special Counsel and the Managing Underwriters, if any, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties of the Company and its subsidiaries made pursuant to clause (i) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company.

(l) If requested in connection with a disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, make available for inspection by a representative of the holders of Registrable Securities being sold, any Managing Underwriter participating in any disposition of Registrable Securities, if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such selling holders or underwriter, financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, and cause the executive officers, directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Managing Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with such disposition; subject to reasonable written assurances by each such person that such information will only be used in connection with matters relating to such Registration Statement.

(m) Comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make generally available to its security holders earning statements (which need not be audited) satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated under the Securities Act) no later than forty-five (45) days after the end of any twelve (12)-month period (or ninety (90) days after the end of any twelve (12)-month period if such period is a fiscal year) (i) commencing at the end of any fiscal quarter in which Registrable Securities are sold to underwriters in a firm commitment or best efforts underwritten offering, and (ii) if not sold to underwriters in such an offering, commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the Company commencing after the effective date of a Registration Statement, which statements shall cover said twelve (12)-month periods.

17

(p) Cause all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange or quotation system on which the Company's Common Stock is then listed no later than the date the Registration Statement is declared effective and, in connection therewith, to the extent applicable, to make such filings under the Exchange Act (e.g., the filing of a Registration Statement on Form 8-A) and to have such filings declared effective thereunder.

(q) Cooperate and assist in any filings required to be made with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

(r) Provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement.

ARTICLE V

HOLDER'S OBLIGATIONS

SECTION 5.1. Holder's Obligations.

(a) Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees, by becoming an owner or transferee of any Registrable Securities, that no holder of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to sell any of such Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or to receive a Prospectus relating thereto, unless such holder has furnished the Company with any applicable notice required pursuant to Article II hereof (including the information required to accompany such notice) and, promptly after the Company's request, such other information regarding such holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request. The Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any holder who does not furnish such information provided above for so long as such information is not so furnished. Each holder of Registrable Securities as to which any Registration Statement is being effected agrees promptly to furnish to the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such holder not misleading. Any sale of any Registrable Securities by any holder shall constitute a representation and warranty by such holder that the information relating to such holder and its plan of distribution is as set forth in the Prospectus delivered by such holder in connection with such disposition, that such Prospectus does not as of the time of such sale contain any untrue statement of a material fact relating to such holder or its plan of distribution and that such Prospectus does not as of the time of such sale omit to state any material fact relating to such holder or its plan of distribution necessary to make the statements in such Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(b) The Company agrees (x) that if any holder of Registrable Securities shall send a written notice to the Company of an intended distribution of Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 2.1(d) or the Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.2, the Company shall not sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, effect any public sale or distribution of or otherwise dispose of its equity securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of such securities during the period from first day of the applicable Selling Period until the date that is ninety (90) days after the date when such holder shall have made such distribution of Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration or Demand Registration, as the case may be, as the holder or Managing Underwriter (in the case of an Underwritten Offering) shall advise the Company (provided, that if the holder or Managing Underwriter shall fail to advise the Company of any such date prior to the end of the applicable Selling Period, such period shall end on the last day of the applicable Selling Period), except (i) as part of such registration, (ii) pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor or similar forms thereto or (iii) as otherwise permitted by the Managing Underwriter of such offering (if any), and (y) to use all commercially reasonable best efforts to cause each holder of its equity securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of such securities, in each case purchased from the Company at any time after the date of this Agreement (other than in a public offering) to agree not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, effect any public sale or distribution of or otherwise dispose of such securities during such period except as part of such underwritten registration; provided, that no holder of Registrable Securities included in any underwritten registration shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters other than representations and warranties regarding such holder and such holder's intended method of distribution.

(c) During any Selling Period (other than during a Deferral Period), immediately upon the existence of any fact or the occurrence of any event as a result of which a Registration Statement shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or a Prospectus shall contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, upon being notified by the Company promptly discontinue use of such Registration Statement until the Company in accordance with its obligations under this Agreement prepares and files an amendment or post-effective amendment to each Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document (such as a Current Report on Form 8-K) that would be incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement so that the Registration Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and so that the Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,

19

in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities being sold thereunder.

(d) Deliver to prospective investors and investors copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses relating to such Registrable Securities (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 7.1 Company Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each holder of Registrable Securities whose Registrable Securities are covered by any Registration Statement, its directors and officers and each other Person, if any, who controls such holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which any such indemnified party may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus or summary Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company will reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding; provided that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, any such preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus, summary Prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such holder specifically for use in the preparation thereof. In addition, the Company shall indemnify any underwriter of such offering and each other Person, if any, who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act in substantially the same manner and to substantially the same extent as the indemnity herein provided to each Indemnified Party. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such holder or any such director, officer, underwriter or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such holder.

SECTION 7.2 Seller Indemnification. Each prospective seller of Registrable Securities hereunder severally, and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 7.1) the Company, each director of the Company, each officer of the Company and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to any statement or alleged statement in or omission or alleged omission from such Registration Statement, any preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus or summary Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, if such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such seller specifically for use in the preparation of such Registration Statement, preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus, summary Prospectus or amendment or supplement. Any such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person and

21

shall survive the transfer of such securities by such seller. The amount payable by any prospective seller of Registrable Securities with respect to the indemnification set forth in this Section 7.2 in connection with any offering of Registrable Securities will not exceed the amount of the gain realized by such prospective seller pursuant to such offering.

SECTION 7.3 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in the preceding sections of this Article VII, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action; provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under the preceding sections of this Article VII, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that the indemnifying party may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any such action which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. No indemnified party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of any such action the defense of which has been assumed by an indemnifying party without the consent of such indemnifying party.

SECTION 7.4 Remedies.

(a) If the indemnification provided for in Section 7.1 or 7.2, as the case may be, is unavailable to an indemnified party in respect of any expense, loss, claim, damage or liability referred to therein, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the holder or underwriter, as the case may be, on the other from the distribution of the Registrable Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the holder or underwriter, as the case may be, on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such expense, loss, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the holder or underwriter, as the case may be, on the

22

other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, by the holder or by the underwriter and parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, that the foregoing contribution agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any indemnified party if indemnification would be unavailable to such indemnified party by reason of the proviso contained in the first sentence of subdivision (a) of this Section 7.4, and in no event shall the obligation of any indemnifying party to contribute under this subdivision (d) exceed the amount that such indemnifying party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification provided for under subdivisions (a) or
(b) of this Section 2.5 had been available under the circumstances.

(b) The Company and the holders of Registrable Securities agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.4 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders and any underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph (a). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.

(c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 7.4, no holder of Registrable Securities or underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which (i) in the case of any such holder, the gain realized by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities or (ii) in the case of an underwriter, the total price at which the Registrable Securities purchased by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds, in any such case, the amount of any damages that such holder or underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

ARTICLE VIII

REPORTS

SECTION 8.1 Rule 144; Rule 144A; Form S-3.

(a) The Company will file all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder and will take such further action as any holder of Registrable Securities may

23

reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities, the Company will deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. The Company further covenants that it will cooperate with any holder of Registrable Securities and take such further reasonable action as any holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request (including, without limitation, making such reasonable representations as any such holder may reasonably request), all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 and Rule 144A, as applicable, under the Securities Act.

(b) For so long as any shares of Registrable Securities are Restricted Securities within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, the Company covenants and agrees that it shall, during any period in which it is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, make available to any holder of Registrable Securities in connection with the sale by such holder of Registrable Securities and any prospective purchaser of Registrable Securities from such, in each case upon request, the information specified in, and meeting the requirements of, Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

(c) The Company shall file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act and shall comply with all other eligibility requirements for use of Form S-3 set forth in the instructions to Form S-3 (other than Registration Requirement A.5).

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Shares will be exchanged into an aggregate of
(i) 1,714,407.20 newly issued shares of Common Stock plus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product resulting from multiplying (x) the number of calendar days from March 15, 2000 after which the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated by (y) 476.22. The Exchange Securities issuable hereunder upon exchange of the Shares shall be subject to adjustment for any split, combination, reclassification, recapitalization or other change in the Common Stock consummated prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall issue the Exchange Securities to Union Labor Life free of any liens, claims, charges, security interests, pledges, voting or stockholder agreements, encumbrances or equities (other than any of the foregoing created by Union Labor Life or arising under any federal or state securities laws) (collectively, "Liens"). The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Exchange Securities shall be deemed for all purposes to be "Registrable Securities" as such term is used in that certain Registration Rights Agreement by and among the Company, PB Capital and Union Labor Life dated as of January 17, 1997.

2. Mechanics of Exchange.

(a) Immediately following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 7 and 8, Union Labor Life shall surrender its certificate or certificates for the Shares, with appropriate stock powers attached, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the Exchange Securities, together with a written notice to the Company that Union Labor Life is exchanging the Shares, represented by such certificate or certificates. Upon such surrender, the Company shall issue and deliver to Union Labor Life, a certificate or certificates representing the Exchange Securities to be issued, conveyed and delivered to Union Labor Life pursuant to Section 1.

2

(b) Union Labor Life shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the Exchange Securities as of the close of business on the date it surrenders its certificate or certificates for the Exchange Securities (the "Exchange Date").

(c) If Union Labor Life holds the Shares at the close of business on a record date which occurs after March 15, 2000 for any payment of declared dividends on the Shares or if the Company declares a dividend in cash or in kind other than the dividend payable on March 15, 2000 in accordance with the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, Union Labor Life shall be entitled to receive the dividend payable on the Shares on the corresponding dividend payment date notwithstanding the surrender of the Shares for Exchange Securities following such record date and prior to the corresponding dividend payment date.

(d) If Union Labor Life holds the Shares at the close of business on a record date for any payment of declared dividends on the Common Stock, and after such record date but prior to the corresponding dividend payment date, Union Labor Life surrenders the Shares for Exchange Securities, Union Labor Life shall be entitled to receive the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding dividend payment date as if it had been the record holder of such shares at the close of business on the record date.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to Union Labor Life as follows:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company in this Agreement; (b) the failure of the Company to perform or observe fully any covenant, agreement or provision to be performed or observed by it pursuant to this Agreement; (c) any legal, administrative or other proceedings brought by a third party arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (d) any actual or threatened claim, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or resulting from the conduct by the Company of its business or operations, or the Company's occupancy or use of its properties or assets; provided, however, that, if and to the extent that such indemnification is unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such indemnified liability which shall be permissible under applicable laws; and provided further however, that the Company shall not be liable for any Losses arising from any statement or omission in any filings by the Company under the Securities Act or Exchange Act in reliance upon and in conformity with written information provided to the Company by Union Labor Life or for any Losses arising out of or resulting from any breach of or failure to comply with this Agreement by any Indemnified Party or any gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party.

(b) Procedure. (i) Each party entitled to be indemnified pursuant to
Section 6(a) (each, an "Indemnified Party") shall promptly notify the Company in writing (a "Claim Notice") of any matter in respect of which the Company is or may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party on account of Section 6(a). The omission of any Indemnified Party so to notify the Company of any such matter shall not relieve the Company from any liability which the Company may have to such Indemnified Party except to the extent the Company shall have been materially prejudiced by the omission of such Indemnified Party so to notify the Company.

6

(ii) With respect to claims for indemnification relating to actions or proceedings brought by any third party with respect to which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder:

(A) After the giving of the Claim Notice, if the Company shall acknowledge in writing to each Indemnified Party that the Company shall be obligated under the terms of its indemnity hereunder in connection with such action or proceeding, then the Company shall be entitled, if it so elects at its own cost, risk and expense, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such action or proceeding, (ii) to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice, subject to the reasonable approval of the Indemnified Party, to handle and defend the same unless the named parties to such action include both the Company or any of its officers, directors, Subsidiaries or Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, and the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are in conflict with those available to the Company or any such officer, director, Subsidiary or Affiliate, in which event the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the Company's cost, risk and expense, to separate counsel of its own choosing, and (iii) to compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, if the resolution of any such action will or is reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on Union Labor Life, then, notwithstanding the foregoing, Union Labor Life shall be entitled to control such resolution, including, without limitation, to take control of the defense and investigation of such proceeding or action, to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same, at the Company's cost, risk and expense, and to compromise or settle such action.

(B) If the Company fails or is not permitted under the foregoing paragraph to assume the defense of such action or proceeding within fifteen
(15) calendar days after receipt of the above-referenced notice, the Indemnified Party against which such action or proceeding has been asserted will, upon delivering notice to such effect to the Company, have the right to undertake at the Company's risk, cost and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Company.

(C) The Company shall be liable for any settlement of any action effected pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 6(b) and for any final judgment (subject to any right of appeal), and the Company agrees to indemnify

7

and hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against any Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(c) Indemnification Non-Exclusive. The foregoing indemnification provisions are in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory, equitable or common-law or other remedy any party may have for breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7 and 8 and immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the SPA, PB Capital will, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, exchange the Shares for shares of Common Stock (the "Exchange Securities") as set forth herein. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Shares will be exchanged into an aggregate of
(i) 4,589,145.12 newly issued shares of Common Stock plus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product resulting from multiplying (x) the number of calendar days from March 15, 2000 after which the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated by (y) 1,274.76 The Exchange Securities issuable hereunder upon exchange of the Shares shall be subject to adjustment for any split, combination, reclassification, recapitalization or other change in the Common Stock consummated prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall issue the Exchange Securities to PB Capital free of any liens, claims, charges, security interests, pledges, voting or stockholder agreements, encumbrances or equities (other than any of the foregoing created by PB Capital or arising under any federal or state securities laws) (collectively, "Liens"). The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Exchange Securities shall be deemed for all purposes to be "Registrable Securities" as such term is used in that certain Registration Rights Agreement by and among the Company, Union Labor Life and PB Capital dated as of January 17, 1997.

2. Mechanics of Exchange.

(a) Immediately following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 7 and 8, PB Capital shall surrender its certificate or certificates for the Shares, with appropriate stock powers attached, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the Exchange Securities, together with a written notice to the Company that PB Capital is exchanging the Shares, represented by such certificate or certificates. Upon such surrender, the Company shall issue and deliver to PB Capital, a certificate or certificates representing the Exchange Securities to be issued, conveyed and delivered to PB Capital pursuant to Section 1.


(b) PB Capital shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the Exchange Securities as of the close of business on the date it surrenders its certificate or certificates for the Exchange Securities (the "Exchange Date").

(c) If PB Capital holds the Shares at the close of business on a record date which occurs after March 15, 2000 for any payment of declared dividends on the Shares or if the Company declares a dividend in cash or in kind other than the dividend payable on March 15, 2000 in accordance with the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, PB Capital shall be entitled to receive the dividend payable on the Shares on the corresponding dividend payment date notwithstanding the surrender of the Shares for Exchange Securities following such record date and prior to the corresponding dividend payment date.

(d) If PB Capital holds the Shares at the close of business on a record date for any payment of declared dividends on the Common Stock, and after such record date but prior to the corresponding dividend payment date, PB Capital surrenders the Shares for Exchange Securities, PB Capital shall be entitled to receive the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding dividend payment date as if it had been the record holder of such shares at the close of business on the record date.

(b) Procedure. (i) Each party entitled to be indemnified pursuant to
Section 6(a) (each, an "Indemnified Party") shall promptly notify the Company in writing (a "Claim Notice") of any matter in respect of which the Company is or may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party on account of Section 6(a). The omission of any Indemnified Party so to notify the Company of any such matter shall not relieve the Company from any liability which the Company may have to such

6

Indemnified Party except to the extent the Company shall have been materially prejudiced by the omission of such Indemnified Party so to notify the Company.

(ii) With respect to claims for indemnification relating to actions or proceedings brought by any third party with respect to which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder:

(A) After the giving of the Claim Notice, if the Company shall acknowledge in writing to each Indemnified Party that the Company shall be obligated under the terms of its indemnity hereunder in connection with such action or proceeding, then the Company shall be entitled, if it so elects at its own cost, risk and expense, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such action or proceeding, (ii) to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice, subject to the reasonable approval of the Indemnified Party, to handle and defend the same unless the named parties to such action include both the Company or any of its officers, directors, Subsidiaries or Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, and the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are in conflict with those available to the Company or any such officer, director, Subsidiary or Affiliate, in which event the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the Company's cost, risk and expense, to separate counsel of its own choosing, and (iii) to compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, if the resolution of any such action will or is reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on PB Capital, then, notwithstanding the foregoing, PB Capital shall be entitled to control such resolution, including, without limitation, to take control of the defense and investigation of such proceeding or action, to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same, at the Company's cost, risk and expense, and to compromise or settle such action.

(B) If the Company fails or is not permitted under the foregoing paragraph to assume the defense of such action or proceeding within fifteen
(15) calendar days after receipt of the above-referenced notice, the Indemnified Party against which such action or proceeding has been asserted will, upon delivering notice to such effect to the Company, have the right to undertake at the Company's risk, cost and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Company.

7

(C) The Company shall be liable for any settlement of any action effected pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 6(b) and for any final judgment (subject to any right of appeal), and the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against any Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(c) Indemnification Non-Exclusive. The foregoing indemnification provisions are in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory, equitable or common-law or other remedy any party may have for breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(d) Attorneys Fees and Costs. In any claim brought by an Indemnified Party under this Section 6 against the Company, the victorious party shall be entitled to receive reasonable attorneys fees and costs incurred in prosecuting or defending such claim.

D. The Common Fund is willing to exchange the Shares for shares of Common Stock on the terms and subject to the conditions and covenants set forth herein.


AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements, representations and warranties herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Obligation to Exchange Securities. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7 and 8 and immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the SPA, The Common Fund will, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, exchange the Shares for shares of Common Stock (the "Exchange Securities") as set forth herein. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Shares will be exchanged into an aggregate of
(i) 1,157,846.03 newly issued shares of Common Stock plus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product resulting from multiplying (x) the number of calendar days from March 15, 2000 after which the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated by (y) 321.62. The Exchange Securities issuable hereunder upon exchange of the Shares shall be subject to adjustment for any split, combination, reclassification, recapitalization or other change in the Common Stock consummated prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall issue the Exchange Securities to The Common Fund free of any liens, claims, charges, security interests, pledges, voting or stockholder agreements, encumbrances or equities (other than any of the foregoing created by The Common Fund or arising under any federal or state securities laws) (collectively, "Liens").

2. Mechanics of Exchange.

(a) Immediately following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Sections 7 and 8, The Common Fund shall surrender its certificate or certificates for the Shares, with appropriate stock powers attached, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the Exchange Securities, together with a written notice to the Company that The Common Fund is exchanging the Shares, represented by such certificate or certificates. Upon such surrender, the Company shall issue and deliver to The Common Fund, a certificate or certificates representing the Exchange Securities to be issued, conveyed and delivered to The Common Fund pursuant to Section 1.

(b) The Common Fund shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the Exchange Securities as of the close of business on the date it surrenders its certificate or certificates for the Exchange Securities (the "Exchange Date").


(c) If The Common Fund holds the Shares at the close of business on a record date which occurs after March 15, 2000 for any payment of declared dividends on the Shares or if the Company declares a dividend in cash or in kind other than the dividend payable on March 15, 2000 in accordance with the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, The Common Fund shall be entitled to receive the dividend payable on the Shares on the corresponding dividend payment date notwithstanding the surrender of the Shares for Exchange Securities following such record date and prior to the corresponding dividend payment date.

(d) If The Common Fund holds the Shares at the close of business on a record date for any payment of declared dividends on the Common Stock, and after such record date but prior to the corresponding dividend payment date, The Common Fund surrenders the Shares for Exchange Securities, The Common Fund shall be entitled to receive the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding dividend payment date as if it had been the record holder of such shares at the close of business on the record date.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to The Common Fund as follows:

The issuance and sale of the Exchange Securities are not and will not be subject to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, rights of first offer or other similar rights granted by the Company that have not been properly waived or complied with.

(d) Consents. No governmental orders, permissions, consents, approvals or authorizations are required to be obtained by the Company and no registrations or declarations are required to be filed by the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the offer, sale or issuance of the Exchange Securities, except as will be duly and validly obtained or filed.

(e) Compliance with Laws and Other Instruments.

(f) Offering Valid. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of The Common Fund contained in Section 4 hereof, the offer, sale and issuance of the Exchange Securities are and will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and will have been registered or qualified (or are exempt from registration and qualification) under the registration, permit or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws.

(g) Disclosure. To the Knowledge of the Company (as defined in the SPA), no representation or warranty by the Company contained in this Agreement or the SPA, or in any certificate to be furnished by or on behalf of the Company pursuant hereto or thereto, contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(d) Acquisition for Investment. The Common Fund is acquiring the Exchange Securities for its own account for the purpose of investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and The Common Fund has no present intention or plan to effect any distribution of the Exchange Securities; provided that the disposition of The Common Fund's property shall at all times be and remain within its control and subject to the provisions of this Agreement. The Common Fund is an "Accredited Investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

To the extent that the Company has authorized stock which is not already reserved, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issue upon the exchange of shares of Series B Preferred Stock for Exchange Securities such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (or other Exchange Securities) as will be sufficient to permit the exchange in full of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by The Common Fund.

6. Indemnification.

5

(a) Company Indemnification. The Company covenants and agrees to defend, indemnify and save and hold harmless The Common Fund, together with its officers, directors, partners, employees, trustees, attorneys and representatives and each person who controls The Common Fund within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), from and against any and all losses, costs, expenses, liabilities, claims or legal damages (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and accountants and other costs and expenses incident to any actual or threatened claim, suit, action or proceeding, whether incurred in connection with a claim against the Company (other than a claim under this Section 6) or a third party claim) (collectively, "Losses") arising out of or resulting from:
(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company in this Agreement; (b) the failure of the Company to perform or observe fully any covenant, agreement or provision to be performed or observed by it pursuant to this Agreement; (c) any legal, administrative or other proceedings brought by a third party arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (d) any actual or threatened claim, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or resulting from the conduct by the Company of its business or operations, or the Company's occupancy or use of its properties or assets; provided, however, that, if and to the extent that such indemnification is unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such indemnified liability which shall be permissible under applicable laws; and provided further however, that the Company shall not be liable for any Losses arising from any statement or omission in any filings by the Company under the Securities Act or Exchange Act in reliance upon and in conformity with written information provided to the Company by The Common Fund or for any Losses arising out of or resulting from any breach of or failure to comply with this Agreement by any Indemnified Party or any gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party.

(b) Procedure. (i) Each party entitled to be indemnified pursuant to
Section 6(a) (each, an "Indemnified Party") shall promptly notify the Company in writing (a "Claim Notice") of any matter in respect of which the Company is or may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party on account of Section 6(a). The omission of any Indemnified Party so to notify the Company of any such matter shall not relieve the Company from any liability which the Company may have to such Indemnified Party except to the extent the Company shall have been materially prejudiced by the omission of such Indemnified Party so to notify the Company.

(ii) With respect to claims for indemnification relating to actions or

6

proceedings brought by any third party with respect to which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder:

(A) After the giving of the Claim Notice, if the Company shall acknowledge in writing to each Indemnified Party that the Company shall be obligated under the terms of its indemnity hereunder in connection with such action or proceeding, then the Company shall be entitled, if it so elects at its own cost, risk and expense, (i) to take control of the defense and investigation of such action or proceeding, (ii) to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice, subject to the reasonable approval of the Indemnified Party, to handle and defend the same unless the named parties to such action include both the Company or any of its officers, directors, Subsidiaries or Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, and the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are in conflict with those available to the Company or any such officer, director, Subsidiary or Affiliate, in which event the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the Company's cost, risk and expense, to separate counsel of its own choosing, and (iii) to compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, if the resolution of any such action will or is reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on The Common Fund, then, notwithstanding the foregoing, The Common Fund shall be entitled to control such resolution, including, without limitation, to take control of the defense and investigation of such proceeding or action, to employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same, at the Company's cost, risk and expense, and to compromise or settle such action.

(B) If the Company fails or is not permitted under the foregoing paragraph to assume the defense of such action or proceeding within fifteen
(15) calendar days after receipt of the above-referenced notice, the Indemnified Party against which such action or proceeding has been asserted will, upon delivering notice to such effect to the Company, have the right to undertake at the Company's risk, cost and expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Company.

(C) The Company shall be liable for any settlement of any action effected pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 6(b) and for any final judgment (subject to any right of appeal), and the Company agrees to indemnify

7

and hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against any Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(c) Indemnification Non-Exclusive. The foregoing indemnification provisions are in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory, equitable or common-law or other remedy any party may have for breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(d) Attorneys Fees and Costs. In any claim brought by an Indemnified Party under this Section 6 against the Company, the victorious party shall be entitled to receive reasonable attorneys fees and costs incurred in prosecuting or defending such claim.

(e) Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Except as provided in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 6(e), the representations, warranties and agreements included in this Agreement shall survive for a period of 3 years: (i) the obligations set forth in Section 9 of this Agreement shall survive for the period specified therein for the performance of the covenants set forth therein; (ii) the representations set forth in Sections 3.01(n) (Taxes) of the SPA, 3.01(o) (Employee Benefit Plans and Related Matters; ERISA) of the SPA and 3.01(p) (Environmental Laws) of the SPA, each of which are incorporated herein through Section 3(a) of this Agreement, shall survive until the date that is six (6) months after the expiration of the longest applicable federal or state statute of limitations; and (iii) the representations and warranties set forth in the last two sentences of Section 3(c) (Authorization; Binding Obligations) and the obligations set forth in Section 6 (Indemnification) and in Section 11 (Miscellaneous) shall survive indefinitely.

Each Bank's outstanding Term Loan and Revolving Loan, upon giving effect

to the foregoing, shall in each case be an amount equal to (i) the aggregate amount of Term Loans and Revolving Loans, as the case may be, (ii) multiplied by the percentage set forth for such Bank in clause (b) of the definition of Effective Date Commitment Amount.

(i) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding for such Bank plus (ii) the LC Exposure for such Bank does not exceed, in the aggregate at any time, the amount of such Bank's Revolving Commitment.

Unless the Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article 3 has not been satisfied, the Agent will make the funds so received from the Banks available to the Borrower at the Agent's aforesaid address.

(d Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the date of any Borrowing (or, in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing, prior to noon (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing) that such Bank will not make available to the Agent such Bank's share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02(c) and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such share available to the Agent, such Bank and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.05 and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Bank shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank's Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Group of Loans (subject in each case to the provisions of Article 8), as follows:

(i) if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to Euro-Dollar Loans as of any Euro-Dollar Business Day; and

Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, in each case effective on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Loans.

Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a "Notice of Interest Rate Election") to the Agent at least three Euro-Dollar Business Days before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective. A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group and (ii) the portion to which such Notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each $500,000 or any larger multiple thereof.

(f) Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify:

(i) the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies;

(ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of
Section 2.02(e) above;

(iii) if the Loans comprising such Group are to be converted, the new type of Loans and, if such new Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the duration of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto; and

(iv) if such Loans are to be continued as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period.

Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

(g) Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02(e) above, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice of Interest Rate Election to the Agent for any Group of Euro-Dollar Loans, such Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto.

(b) The Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Termination Date, and all Revolving Loans then outstanding and all Letter of Credit Liabilities (in each case, together with accrued interest thereon) shall be due and payable on such date.

(c) The Revolving Commitments of all Banks shall be permanently, automatically and ratably reduced immediately upon receipt by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any proceeds from any Specified Real Estate Sale or the Headquarters Refinancing in an amount equal to (i) after giving effect to such Specified Real Estate Sale or Headquarters Refinancing, the amount, if any, by which the total Net Proceeds received by the Borrower or any Subsidiary subsequent to the Effective Date in respect of Specified Real Estate Sales and the Headquarters Refinancing exceeds $11,000,000, minus (ii) the aggregate amount by which the Revolving Commitments have been previously reduced pursuant to this Section 2.09(c).

(d) If at any time the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall receive any proceeds from

(i) any Disposition of any Real Estate Investment or any other real property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (including without limitation any proceeds received by the Borrower or any Subsidiary as consideration for the granting of any right or option providing for a Disposition but excluding (A) operating receipts from Real Estate Investments and (B) any proceeds received by the Borrower or any Subsidiary from (I) any Specified Real Estate Sales or (II) the Headquarters Refinancing); or

28

(ii) any Disposition of any Other Assets (including, without limitation any proceeds received by the Borrower or any Subsidiary as consideration for the granting of any right or option providing for a Disposition but excluding (A) payments in the ordinary course on construction contracts, (B) operating receipts from Real Estate Investments, (C) liability insurance proceeds, (D) income of not more than $100,000 earned from Temporary Cash Investments during any fiscal year and (E) in-kind proceeds resulting from trade-ins or other Dispositions of obsolete or surplus equipment),

then the Revolving Commitments shall be permanently, automatically and ratably reduced in an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which 100% of the Net Proceeds realized by the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of such Disposition exceeds the aggregate amount of Term Loans required to be prepaid in respect of such Disposition pursuant to Section 2.10(b) hereof; provided that no such reduction shall be required pursuant to clause 2.09(d)(ii) unless and until the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds from all Dispositions of Other Assets after the Effective Date and not previously applied to reduce the Revolving Commitments pursuant to clause 2.09(d)(ii) shall equal or exceed $125,000 or any higher integral multiple of $125,000, at which time the Revolving Commitments shall be reduced in amount equal to $125,000 or such higher integral multiple of $125,000, as the case may be.

(e) On each day on which the Revolving Commitments are reduced pursuant to this Section 2.09, the Borrower shall repay such principal amount (together with accrued interest thereon) of each Bank's outstanding Revolving Loans as may be necessary so that after such repayment, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of each Bank's Revolving Loans plus such Bank's LC Exposure does not exceed the amount of such Bank's Revolving Commitment after giving effect to such reduction. In the event that the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments is reduced to an amount less than the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities at such time in respect of all Letters of Credit, the Borrower hereby agrees that it shall forthwith, without any demand or taking of any other action by the Required Banks or the Agent, pay to the Agent an amount in immediately available funds equal to the difference to be held as security for the Letter of Credit Liabilities for the benefit of all Banks pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Agent and the Banks.

Section 2.10. Repayment of Term Loans.

(a) On each Term Loan Repayment Date, there shall become due and payable and the Borrower shall repay the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans set forth below opposite such date (or, if less, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans), in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being repaid:

provided that if the Term Loans shall be repaid at any time in accordance with
Section 2.10(b), such repayments shall be applied to decrease the amounts set forth above, first to decrease the aggregate amount of repayment of Term Loans required on the last Term Loan Repayment Date, and thereafter to decrease the amount of repayment of Term Loans in reverse chronological order.

(b) Until the Term Loans have been repaid in full, there shall become due and payable, and the Borrower shall repay, an aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans (or, if less, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans) in the following amounts at the following times, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being repaid:

(i) immediately upon receipt by the Borrower or any Subsidiary at any time of any proceeds from any Disposition of any Real Estate Investment or any other real property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (including without limitation any proceeds received by the Borrower or any Subsidiary as consideration for the granting of any right or option providing for a Disposition but excluding (A) operating receipts from Real Estate Investments and (B) any proceeds received by the Borrower or any Subsidiary from (I) any Specified Real Estate Sale or (II) the Headquarters Refinancing), in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds realized by the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect thereof; and

(ii) immediately upon receipt by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any proceeds from any Disposition of any Other Assets (including, without limitation any proceeds received by the Borrower or any Subsidiary as consideration for the granting of any right or option providing for a Disposition but excluding (A)

30

payments in the ordinary course on construction contracts, (B) operating receipts from Real Estate Investments, (C) liability insurance proceeds, (D) income of not more than $100,000 earned from Temporary Cash Investments during any fiscal year and (E) in-kind proceeds resulting from trade-ins or other Dispositions of obsolete or surplus equipment) in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds realized by the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect thereof; provided that no such repayment shall be required unless and until the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds from all Dispositions of Other Assets after the Effective Date and not previously applied to repay the Term Loans pursuant to this clause 2.10(b)(ii) shall equal or exceed $125,000 or any higher integral multiple of $125,000, at which time the Term Loans shall be repaid in amount equal to $125,000 or such higher integral multiple of $125,000, as the case may be.

Section 2.11. Optional Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Agent not later than 11:30 A.M. (New York City time) on any Domestic Business Day, prepay or repay on such Domestic Business Day the Base Rate Loans in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating $100,000 or any larger multiple thereof, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Banks.

(b) Subject to Section 2.13, the Borrower may, upon notice to the Agent not later than 11:30 A.M. (New York City time) on any Euro-Dollar Business Day, prepay or repay on such Euro-Dollar Business Day the Loans comprising a Group of Euro-Dollar Loans in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating $100,000 or any larger multiple thereof, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Banks included in such Group.

(c) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment or repayment pursuant to this Section, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank's ratable share of such prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

Section 2.12. General Provisions as to Payments.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and of fees hereunder, not later than 1:30 P.M. (New York City time) on the date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.01. The Agent will promptly distribute to

31

each Bank its ratable share of each such payment received by the Agent for the account of the Banks. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Dollar Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day unless such Euro-Dollar Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Dollar Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

(b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, 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 that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Bank shall repay to the Agent forthwith 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 Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

Section 2.13. Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan or any Euro-Dollar Loan is converted to a Base Rate Loan (pursuant to Article 2, Section 6 or 8 or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or the last day of an applicable period fixed pursuant to Section 2.05(c), or if the Borrower fails to borrow or prepay any Euro-Dollar Loans after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.02(b) or 2.11(c), the Borrower shall reimburse each Bank on demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by any existing or prospective Participant in the related Loan), including (without limitation) any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or conversion or failure to borrow, provided that such Bank shall have delivered to the Borrower a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.14. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

32

Section 2.15. Maximum Interest Rate.

(a) Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Notes shall require the Borrower to pay interest at a rate exceeding the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Neither this Section 2.15 nor Section 9.08 is intended to limit the rate of interest payable for the account of any Bank to the maximum rate permitted by the laws of the State of New York if a higher rate is permitted with respect to such Bank by supervening provisions of U.S. federal law.

(b) If the amount of interest payable for the account of any Bank on any interest payment date in respect of the immediately preceding interest computation period, computed pursuant to Section 2.05, would exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged by such Bank, the amount of interest payable for its account on such interest payment date shall be automatically reduced to such maximum permissible amount.

(c) If the amount of interest payable for the account of any Bank in respect of any interest computation period is reduced pursuant to Section 2.15(b) and the amount of interest payable for its account in respect of any subsequent interest computation period, computed pursuant to Section 2.05, would be less than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged by such Bank, then the amount of interest payable for its account in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall be automatically increased to such maximum permissible amount; provided that at no time shall the aggregate amount by which interest paid for the account of any Bank has been increased pursuant to this Section 2.15(c) exceed the aggregate amount by which interest paid for its account has theretofore been reduced pursuant to Section 2.15(b).

Section 2.16. Letters of Credit.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, upon the request of the Borrower, the LC Bank has issued "Letters of Credit" under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement. On the Effective Date, all of such "Letters of Credit" shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit hereunder. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the LC Bank agrees to issue letters of credit hereunder from time to time before the Termination Date upon the request of the Borrower (such letters of credit issued, collectively with the "Letters of Credit" issued under the Existing Credit Agreement, the "Letters of Credit"); provided that, immediately after each such Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities for all Letters of Credit shall not exceed the Available LC Amount and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities for all Performance Letters of Credit shall not exceed $3,000,000; and provided further that no Letter of Credit shall be issued to replace, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the Harris Bank LC. Upon the date of issuance by the LC Bank of a Letter of Credit in

33

accordance with this Section 2.16, the LC Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Bank, and each Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from the LC Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit and the related Letter of Credit Liabilities in proportion to its Revolving Commitment Percentage.

(b) The Borrower shall give the LC Bank at least three Domestic Business Days' prior notice (effective upon receipt) specifying the date each Letter of Credit is to be issued, and describing the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby. Upon receipt of such notice the LC Bank shall promptly notify the Agent, and the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank, of the contents thereof and of the amount of such Bank's participation in such proposed Letter of Credit. The issuance by the LC Bank of any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Article 3 (the satisfaction of which the LC Bank shall have no duty to ascertain), be subject to the conditions precedent that such Letter of Credit shall be satisfactory to the LC Bank and that the Borrower shall have executed and delivered such other instruments and agreements relating to such Letter of Credit as the LC Bank shall have reasonably requested. Each Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date not later than one year after its date of issue; provided that no Letter of Credit shall have a term extending beyond the Termination Date; and provided further that any such Letter of Credit may include an evergreen or renewal option, pursuant to which the expiry date of such Letter of Credit will be automatically extended unless notice of non-renewal is given by the LC Bank (provided that such Letter of Credit has an absolute expiry date not later than the Termination Date); and provided further that the LC Bank shall deliver notice of non-renewal at the time such notice is required to be given unless requested not to by the Borrower, which request will be treated in the same manner as a request for issuance of a new Letter of Credit on the same terms (any such Letter of Credit, an "Evergreen Letter of Credit").

(c) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent a letter of credit fee at a rate per annum equal to 3.00% multiplied by the aggregate amount available for drawings under each Letter of Credit issued from time to time, any such fee to be payable for the account of the Banks ratably in proportion to their Revolving Commitment Percentages. Such fee shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower for so long as such Letter of Credit is outstanding and on the date of termination thereof. The Borrower shall pay to the LC Bank additional fees and expenses in the amounts and at the times as agreed between the Borrower and the LC Bank.

(d) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any demand for payment or other drawing under such Letter of Credit, the LC Bank shall notify the Agent and the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each other Bank as to the amount to be paid as a result of such demand or drawing and the respective payment date. The

34

responsibility of the LC Bank to the Borrower and each Bank shall be only to determine that the documents (including each demand for payment or other drawing) delivered under each Letter of Credit issued by it in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects with such Letter of Credit. The LC Bank shall endeavor to exercise the same care in the issuance and administration of the Letters of Credit as it does with respect to letters of credit in which no participations are granted, it being understood that in the absence of any gross negligence or willful misconduct by the LC Bank, each Bank severally agrees that it shall be unconditionally and irrevocably liable without regard to the occurrence of any Event of Default or any condition precedent whatsoever, pro rata to the extent of such Bank's Revolving Commitment Percentage, to reimburse the LC Bank on demand for the amount of each payment made by the LC Bank under each Letter of Credit issued by the LC Bank to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to clause 2.16(e) below together with interest on such amount for each day from the date of the LC Bank's demand for such payment (or, if such demand is made after 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such date, from the next succeeding Domestic Business Day) to the date of payment by such Bank of such amount at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for such day.

(e) The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated forthwith to reimburse the LC Bank for any amounts paid by the LC Bank upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind; provided that neither the Borrower nor any Bank shall hereby be precluded from asserting any claim for direct (but not consequential) damages suffered by the Borrower or such Bank to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the LC Bank in determining whether a request presented under any Letter of Credit complied with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (ii) such Bank's failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. All such amounts paid by the LC Bank and remaining unpaid by the Borrower shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day. The LC Bank will pay to each Bank, ratably in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage, all amounts received from the Borrower for application in payment, in whole or in part, of the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Letter of Credit, but only to the extent such Bank has made payment to the LC Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.16(d).

(f) If after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of

35

law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall impose, modify or deem applicable any tax, reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued hereunder or participations therein, and the result shall be to increase the cost to any Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or any participation therein, or reduce any amount receivable by any Bank hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit (which increase in cost, or reduction in amount receivable, shall be the result of such Bank's reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such increases or reductions resulting from such event), then, upon demand by such Bank (which demand shall not be unreasonably delayed, provided that a demand within six months of the accrual of such increased cost or reduction in amount receivable will not be deemed to be unreasonably delayed), the Borrower agrees to pay to such Bank, from time to time as specified by such Bank, such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Bank for such increased costs or reductions in amount incurred by such Bank. A certificate of such Bank submitted by such Bank to the Borrower shall be conclusive as to the amount thereof in the absence of manifest error.

(g) The Borrower's obligations under this Section 2.16 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the LC Bank, any Bank or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit. The Borrower further agrees with the LC Bank and the Banks that the LC Bank and the Banks shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower's Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Letter of Credit shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any financing institution or other party to whom any Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The LC Bank shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit issued, extended or renewed by it. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the LC Bank or any Bank under or in connection with each Letter of Credit and the related drafts and documents, if done in good faith and without gross negligence, shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall not put the LC Bank or any Bank under any liability to the Borrower.

(h) To the extent not inconsistent with clause 2.16(g) above, the LC Bank shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any Letter of Credit, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by it to

36

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, independent accountants and other experts selected by the LC Bank. The LC Bank shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Banks as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable 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. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.16, the LC Bank shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Banks, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Banks and all future holders of participations in any Letters of Credit.

(i) The Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless each Bank and the Agent from and against any and all claims and damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which such Bank or the Agent may incur (or which may be claimed against such Bank or the Agent by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with the execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Letter of Credit, including, without limitation, any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which the LC Bank may incur by reason of or in connection with the failure of any other Bank to fulfill or comply with its obligations to the LC Bank hereunder (but nothing herein contained shall affect any rights the Borrower may have against such defaulting Bank); provided that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Bank or the Agent for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the LC Bank in determining whether a request presented under any Letter of Credit complied with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (ii) the LC Bank's failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. Nothing in this Section 2.16(i) is intended to limit the obligations of the Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement.

(j) Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage, indemnify the LC Bank, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees' gross negligence or willful misconduct or the LC Bank's failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this
Section 2.16 or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder.

37

(k) In its capacity as a Bank the LC Bank shall have the same rights and obligations as any other Bank.

Section 2.17. Taxes.

(a) For purposes of this Section, the following terms have the following meanings:

"Taxes" means any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings with respect to any payment by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or under any Note, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Bank and the Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by a jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or in which its principal executive office is located or, in the case of each Bank, in which its Applicable Lending Office is located and
(ii) in the case of each Bank, any United States withholding tax imposed on such payments but only to the extent that such Bank is subject to United States withholding tax at the time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement.

"Other Taxes" means any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, or similar charges or levies, which arise from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note.

(b) Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Bank or the Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made without deduction for any Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from any such payments, (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 2.17) such Bank or the 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 Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Bank and the Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes

38

imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.17) paid by such Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be paid within 15 days after such Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor.

(d) Each Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case of each other Bank, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such Bank remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and the Agent with Internal Revenue Service form 1001 or 4224, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Bank is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which exempts the Bank from United States withholding tax or reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest for the account of such Bank or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. If the form provided by a Bank at the time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from "Taxes" as defined in subsection 2.17(a) of this Section.

(e) For any period with respect to which a Bank has failed to provide the Borrower or the Agent with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 2.17(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which such form originally was required to be provided), such Bank shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.17(b) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that if a Bank, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, becomes subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such Taxes.

(f) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section 2.17, then such Bank will change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if, in the judgment of such Bank, such change (i) will eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue and (ii) is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

(a) Each of the Financing Documents (other than the Notes) to which the Borrower is a party constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Borrower and the

44

Notes, when executed and delivered in accordance with this Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their terms. Each of the Financing Documents to which any Subsidiary Guarantor is a party, when executed and delivered in accordance with this Agreement, will constitute valid and binding agreements of each Subsidiary Guarantor party thereto, in each case enforceable against each such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with their respective terms.

The list of personal property of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries set forth in Part II of Schedule 4.03(b), security interests in which are governed by Article 9 of the UCC as in effect in the relevant jurisdictions, is complete in all material respects. The location, ownership status and lien information provided in Schedule 4.03(b) for each item of real property and each type of personal property are complete and correct.

45

and its Consolidated Subsidiaries or which in any manner draws into question the validity of any Financing Document.

Section 4.6. Compliance with ERISA. Each member of the ERISA Group has fulfilled its obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan and is in compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan.

(c) No environmental investigation, study, audit, test, review or other analysis has been conducted of which the Obligors have knowledge in relation to any Mortgaged Facility which has not been delivered to the Banks.

The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States Federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns which are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

Section 6.3. Notice of Default. The Agent shall give notice to the Borrower under Section 6.01(d) promptly upon being requested to do so by any Bank and shall thereupon notify all the Banks thereof.

ARTICLE 7

The Agent

Section 7.1. Appointment and Authorization. Each Bank irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Financing Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Section 7.2. Agent and Affiliates. Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York shall have the same rights and powers under the Financing Documents as any other Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Agent, and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Agent hereunder.

Section 7.3. Action by Agent. The obligations of the Agent under the Financing Documents are only those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not be required to take any action with respect to any Default, except as expressly provided in Article 6.

Section 7.4. Consultation with Experts. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for an Obligor), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; provided that no Bank shall be required to reimburse the Agent (to the extent not paid by the Borrower) for the fees and expenses of any experts (other than any legal counsel and E&Y Restructuring LLC) who shall not have been approved by the Required Banks.

Section 7.5. Liability of Agent. Neither the Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith
(i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in

69

connection with the Financing Documents or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower;
(iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article 3, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any Financing Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith. The Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term "agent" in this Agreement with reference to any 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.

Section 7.6. Indemnification. Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its Revolving Commitment, indemnify the Agent, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents, advisors and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees' gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder. Each Bank agrees that the indemnity set forth in this Section 7.06 shall require each Bank to pay (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel retained by the Agent in connection with this Agreement and the reasonable fees and disbursements of E&Y Restructuring LLC and other experts approved by the Required Banks retained by the Agent in connection with this Agreement, but no Bank shall be required to indemnify any advisor retained by the Agent, and no Bank shall hereby indemnify the Agent for any indemnity given by the Agent to any advisor (other than an indemnity for reasonable fees and disbursements in accordance with the agreement to pay reasonable fees and disbursements set forth in this sentence), unless such Bank shall have separately given its express written consent to give such indemnity.

Section 7.7. Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement.

Section 7.8. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required

70

Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $150,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent.

Section 7.9. Collateral Documents.

(a) As to any matters not expressly provided for in the Collateral Documents (including the timing and methods of realization upon the Collateral), and which do not otherwise require the signature of all Banks pursuant to
Section 9.05, the Agent shall act or refrain from acting in accordance with written instructions from the Required Banks or, in the absence of such instructions, in accordance with its discretion; provided that the Agent shall not be obligated to take any action if the Agent believes that such action is or may be contrary to any applicable law or might cause the Agent to incur any loss or liability for which it has not been indemnified to its satisfaction.

(b) The Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the security interests in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part under the Collateral Documents. The Agent shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of the Collateral Documents by any Obligor.

ARTICLE 8

Change in Circumstances

Section 8.1. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Euro-Dollar Loan:

71

(a) the Agent is advised by the Reference Banks that deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to the Reference Banks in the relevant market for such Interest Period, or

(b) Banks having 50% or more of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments advise the Agent that the Adjusted Euro-Dollar Rate, as determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding their Euro-Dollar Loans for such Interest Period,

the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks, whereupon until the Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Banks to make Euro-Dollar Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into Euro-Dollars Loans shall be suspended and (ii) each outstanding Euro-Dollar Loan shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto. Unless the Borrower notifies the Agent at least two Domestic Business Days before the date of any Euro-Dollar Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

Section 8.2. Illegality. If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans and such Bank shall so notify the Agent, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Borrower, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans, or to convert outstanding Loans into Euro-Dollar Loans, shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section, such Bank shall designate a different Euro-Dollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Euro-Dollar Loans to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, each Euro-Dollar Loan of such Bank then outstanding shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan (and the Borrower shall contemporaneously pay accrued interest on such Euro-Dollar Loan to the date of conversion) either (a) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Euro-Dollar Loan if such Bank may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan to

72

such day or (b) immediately if such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan to such day.

Section 8.3. Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a) If after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(i) shall subject any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its Euro-Dollar Loans, its Note or its obligation to make Euro-Dollar Loans, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of the principal of or interest on its Euro-Dollar Loans or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its Euro-Dollar Loans or its obligation to make Euro-Dollar Loans (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Bank or its Applicable Lending Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Bank's principal executive office or Applicable Lending Office is located); or

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan any such requirement included in an applicable Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the United States market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other condition affecting its Euro-Dollar Loans, its Note or its obligation to make Euro-Dollar Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Euro-Dollar Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction.

73

(b) If any Bank shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Bank's obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its Parent) for such reduction.

(c) Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

Section 8.4. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Euro-Dollar Loans. If
(i) the obligation of any Bank to make or maintain Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.03(a) and the Borrower shall, by at least five Euro-Dollar Business Days' prior notice to such Bank through the Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist:

(a) all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank as (or continued as or converted into) Euro-Dollar Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks), and

(b) after each of its Euro-Dollar Loans has been repaid (or converted to a Base Rate Loan), all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Euro-Dollar Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead.

74

All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telex, facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party: (x) in the case of the Borrower or the Agent, at its address or telex or facsimile number set forth on the signature pages hereof, (y) in the case of any Bank, at its address or telex or facsimile number set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire or (z) in the case of any party, such other address or telex or facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the Agent and the Borrower.

Section 9.2. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Agent or any Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege under any Financing Document shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies therein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 9.3. Expenses; Documentary Taxes; Indemnification.

(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent (including fees and disbursements of special counsel for the Agent but excluding fees and disbursements of accountants, financial advisors and other experts retained by the Agent) in connection with the preparation of any Financing Documents, any waiver or consent under any Financing Document, any amendment of any Financing Document or any Default or alleged Default or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any other Financing Documents; provided that the Borrower shall pay all fees and disbursements of any firm of independent public accountants, financial advisors and other experts retained

75

by the Agent in connection with any waiver or consent under any Financing Document, any amendment of any Financing Document or any Default; and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and each Bank, including fees and disbursements of counsel (including allocated costs of internal counsel and disbursements of internal counsel), in connection with such Event of Default and any collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom. The Borrower shall indemnify each Bank against any transfer taxes, documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any governmental authority by reason of the execution and delivery of any Financing Document.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Bank, their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing (each an "Indemnitee") and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including allocated costs of internal counsel and disbursements of internal counsel), which may be incurred by any Indemnitee in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) brought or threatened relating to or arising out of any Financing Document or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans hereunder; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for such Indemnitee's own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind (including without limitation reasonable expenses of investigation by engineers, environmental consultants and similar technical personnel and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel including allocated costs of internal counsel and disbursements of internal counsel) of any Indemnitee arising out of, in respect of or in connection with any and all Environmental Liabilities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby waives all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to liabilities, losses, damages, costs or expenses arising under or related to Environmental Laws that it might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee.

Section 9.4. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Bank agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount due with respect to any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation owed to it which is greater than the proportion received by any other Bank in respect of the aggregate amount due with respect to any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation owed to such other Bank, the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owed to the other

76

Banks, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments with respect to the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owed to the Banks shall be shared by the Banks pro rata; provided that (i) nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Bank to exercise any right of setoff or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrower other than its indebtedness hereunder and (ii) nothing in any Financing Documents shall require any Bank to share any payments and distributions received by such Bank if such payments and distributions were made in respect of any obligations (including without limitation Other Reimbursement Obligations and Other Mortgage Obligations) not constituting Loans or Reimbursement Obligations. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of setoff or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 9.5. Amendments and Waivers. (a) Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Banks (and, if the rights or duties of the Agent or the LC Bank are affected thereby, by the Agent or the LC Bank, as the case may be); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by all the Banks, (i) increase or decrease the Revolving Commitment of any Bank (except for a ratable decrease in the Revolving Commitments of all Banks), (ii) amend Section 2.10 or 5.12(b)(iii), (iii) subject any Bank to any additional obligation, (iv) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder, (v) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan, any Reimbursement Obligation or any fees hereunder or for termination or reduction of any Revolving Commitment, (vi) reinstate the Revolving Commitments or cause the Notes to be no longer immediately due and payable after the Revolving Commitments shall have been terminated and the Notes shall have become immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 6.01, (vii) change the percentage of the Revolving Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes, or change the number of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section 9.05 or any other provision of any Financing Documents, (viii) release any Subsidiary Guarantor from the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement, (ix) amend Section 9.04, 9.05 or 9.06 hereof or (x) notwithstanding any provision of any Collateral Document to the contrary, modify any definition of Collateral in any Financing Document or release any item of Collateral from any Lien provided by any Collateral Document except for the sale or other disposition of such item by the Agent in the exercise of its rights as provided therein (provided that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or the Agent has received written notice from the Borrower or any Bank of the existence of any Default, the Agent may release any item of Collateral at the request of the Borrower, without the consent of

77

any Banks if such release is required in connection with any Disposition of such Collateral and such Disposition is permitted under this Agreement).

Section 9.6. Successors and Assigns.

(a) 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 Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Banks.

(b) Any Bank may at any time grant to one bank or other institution (a "Participant") a participating interest in its Revolving Commitment and its Loans in the full amount of its Revolving Commitment. In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower and the Agent, such Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 9.05 without the consent of the Participant. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (d) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b).

(c) Any Bank may assign to one or more banks, financial institutions or "accredited investors" (as defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended as of the Effective Date) (each an "Assignee") all or any part (subject to the proviso below) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit E, executed by such Assignee and such transferor Bank with the subscribed consent of the Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that (i) if an Assignee is an affiliate of such transferor Bank or another Bank, no such consent shall be required, (ii) unless the Assignee is an affiliate of such transferor Bank, the Assignee is another Bank or the assignment shall be for all of the transferor Bank's rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement, the assignment must be of at least an aggregate $5,000,000 of the transferor Bank's Revolving Commitments and Term Loans and (iii) any assignment of part of any Bank's rights and obligations shall include equally proportionate parts of such Bank's

78

Revolving Commitment and Term Loans. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Bank and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with a Revolving Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and the transferor Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Bank, the Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required or requested by the Assignee, a new Note is issued to the Assignee. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Bank or the Assignee, as agreed between them, shall pay to the Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $2,500.

(d) Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Note to a Federal Reserve Bank (i.e., an agency of the Federal government known as a "Federal Reserve Bank"). No such assignment shall release the transferor Bank from its obligations hereunder.

Section 9.7. Certain Collateral. Each of the Banks represents to the Agent and each of the other Banks that it in good faith is not relying upon any "margin stock" (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

Section 9.8. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and each Note shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York. The Borrower hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York City for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 9.9. Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

Exhibit 99.1

For Immediate Release March 30, 2000

PERINI ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF $81 MILLION RECAPITALIZATION AND
$56 MILLION BANK CREDIT AGREEMENT

Framingham, MA -- Perini Corporation (AMEX:PCR) (the "Company") announced that the Company has completed the $40 million sale of 9,411,765 shares of common stock at $4.25 per share (the "Transaction") to Tutor-Saliba Corporation of Sylmar, CA, O&G Industries, Inc. of Torrington, CT, and National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pa., a wholly-owned subsidiary of American International Group, Inc. (collectively the "New Investors"). Tutor-Saliba Corporation is owned and controlled by Ronald N. Tutor, who also serves as Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer.

A Special Committee of the Company's Board of Directors approved the Transaction after receiving a fairness opinion from the investment banking firm of Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin. A majority of outstanding common shares, including a majority of shares held by disinterested shareholders, were voted in favor of the Transaction.

In addition, the Company announced that 100% of its Series B Preferred Stock (which had a current accreted face amount of approximately $41.2 million) has been exchanged for 7,490,417 shares of common stock at $5.50 per share.

The shares of common stock issued in the Transaction represent approximately 42% of the Company's voting rights and the New Investors have the right to nominate three members to the Company's Board of Directors. The former holders of the Series B Preferred Stock now control approximately 33% of the Company's voting rights and continue to be entitled to nominate up to two members of the Company's Board of Directors.

In connection with the Transaction, the Company has negotiated the terms of an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement provides for restructuring of the Company's existing credit facility into a $35 million term loan (the "Term Loan") and a $21 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The Credit Agreement requires that the Company repay the Term Loan quarterly through 2002 and the Revolving Credit Facility by January 21, 2003.


This recapitalization of Perini Corporation results in approximately $38 million of positive net worth and improved liquidity to support the Company's successful core construction operations. Mr. Tutor, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said "we plan to create substantial shareholder value through improved profitability in our Building and Civil construction operations."

The statements contained in this Release that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements regarding the Company's expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties or other factors that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statement. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the continuing validity of the underlying assumptions and estimates of total forecasted project revenues, costs and profits and project schedules; the outcomes of pending or future litigation, arbitration or other dispute resolution proceedings; changes in federal and state appropriations for infrastructure projects; possible changes or developments in worldwide or domestic, social, economic, business, industry, market and regulatory conditions or circumstances; and actions taken or omitted to be taken by third parties including the Company's customers, suppliers, business partners, and competitors and legislative, regulatory, judicial and other governmental authorities and officials.
