                                   ---------

         A. Guarantor Loan Costs.  Ronson hereby agrees to pay, or reimburse the
            --------------------
Guarantor  for,  any and all  reasonable  costs  incurred  by the  Guarantor  in
connection  with the  commitment,  negotiation,  execution  and  delivery of the
Guarantor Loan and the Guaranty, and each of them, including, but not limited to
interest (currently  calculated at the prime rate from

time to time in effect at Wachovia  less  one-half  percent),  fees and expenses
under the Guarantor Loan, and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, if and to
the extent in excess of any interest or other return on the Guaranty  Collateral
paid to the  Guarantor.  Each such  payment  or  reimbursement  shall be made by
Ronson  promptly  following  delivery by the  Guarantor  of his  statement  with
respect  thereto in reasonable  detail;  it being  acknowledged  and agreed that
Ronson shall be entitled to reimbursement of any such amounts from the Guarantor
in the event of subsequent payment to the Guarantor of any interest or return on
the Guaranty  Collateral not taken into account in the calculation of costs paid
or reimbursed by Ronson as aforesaid.

         B.  Indemnification.  Ronson  shall  defend,  indemnify  and  hold  the
             ---------------
Guarantor,  and his heirs,  successors  and assigns  (hereinafter  referred  to,
collectively,  as the "Indemnified Parties") harmless against, and reimburse the
Indemnified  Parties for and contribute to the Indemnified  Parties the entirety
of,  any and all  claims,  losses,  damages,  liabilities,  costs  and  expenses
whatsoever,  including,  without  limitation,  reasonable  attorneys'  fees  and
expenses (hereinafter referred to, collectively,  as "Damages") paid or incurred
by the  Indemnified  Parties,  or any of them,  based upon or  arising  from the
Guaranty  Documents,  and the provisions thereof and any obligation  thereunder.
Without limiting the foregoing,  an Indemnified Party claiming  indemnification,
reimbursement  or contribution  pursuant to this Paragraph B shall promptly give
Ronson  written notice of any action,  suit or proceeding  that may give rise to
such  obligation  by Ronson.  Ronson  shall  provide the defense with respect to
claims to which such obligation  applies and in doing so shall have the right to
control the defense and  settlement  with respect to such claims;  provided that
any  settlement  includes  a general  release of the  Indemnified  Party with no
admission or finding of fault by the Indemnified Party. An Indemnified Party may
participate  at its  expense in the  defense of any action or claim which may be
asserted against him and for which such party seeks indemnity,  reimbursement or
contribution pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph B; or such Indemnified
Party,  at his  election,  may  assume  the  defense  of such  claim or  action,
including  the right to settle or  compromise  any claim against him without the
consent of Ronson, in cases where (i) Ronson has failed to promptly initiate and
continue  the  defense of such claim or (ii) the  Indemnified  Party  reasonably
determines that a conflict of interest between Ronson and the Indemnified  Party
exists with respect to such claim.  Each party shall make a reasonable effort to
cooperate in such settlement and/or defense.

         C. Loan Agreement.  Ronson hereby  covenants that,  while the Guarantor
            --------------
remains  obligated  under  the  Guaranty  Documents,  it shall  not agree to the
extension  of the  scheduled  maturity  date of the  obligations  subject to the
Guaranty  without the prior written  consent of the  Guarantor  (which shall not
unreasonably be withheld or delayed).
