Borrower covenants that:

            8.1. Minimum Availability. Borrower, at all times, shall maintain

and perform its obligations hereunder is subject to the condition precedent that
the Lender shall have received the following documents and other items,
satisfactory to Lender, duly executed where appropriate by authorized
representatives of Borrower (notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender immediately

this Agreement):

            (a)   this Agreement;

            (b)   evidence that the execution, delivery and performance of this
                  Agreement by Borrower has been duly authorized by all
                  necessary corporate action; and

            (c)   Payment of $250,000 in cash or immediately available funds as

good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and in
each jurisdiction where Obligor is required to be qualified to do business.
Obligor is duly authorized to enter into, and perform its obligations under,
this Agreement and the agreements, instruments and documents


                                       3
<PAGE>

contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery and performance by Obligor of this
Agreement will not violate Obligor's charter or bylaws, any law or any provision
of, nor are there any grounds for acceleration under, any agreement, note, or
instrument which is binding upon Obligor.

            10.2. No Misrepresentations. Without limiting any rights or remedies
Lender may have under law or in equity, Obligor agrees that all statements and
information provided by Obligor to Lender pursuant to, or in connection with,
this Agreement or the negotiations leading to this Agreement, have been and are
true, complete and correct in all material respects, and none of the same
contain any omissions of any fact or matter necessary to keep the statements and
information therein from being misleading.

            10.3. Indemnity. Without limiting any rights or remedies Lender may
have under law or in equity, Obligor agrees to indemnify and hold Lender
harmless from and against any and all losses, debts, damages, liabilities,
claims, demands, actions, causes of action, lawsuits, penalties, judgments,
costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees of counsel of
Lender's choice), of every nature and description, which Lender may sustain or
incur, based upon, arising out of, or in any way relating to this Agreement
and/or any of the other Financing Documents.

      11. Release of Claims.

            11.1. By Borrower. Borrower hereby releases, waives and forever
relinquishes all claims, demands, obligations, liabilities and causes of action
of whatever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, which it has, may have, or
might assert now or in the future against Lender and/or its participants,
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants, consultants,
successors and assigns, directly or indirectly, arising out of, based upon, or
in any manner connected with (i) any transaction, event, circumstance, action,
failure to act or occurrence of any sort or type, whether known or unknown,
prior to the execution of this Agreement with respect to the Obligations, the
Financing Documents and/or the administration thereof or the obligations created
thereby; (ii) any discussions, commitments, negotiations, conversations or
communications with respect to the refinancing, restructuring or collection of
any Obligations prior to the execution of this Agreement; or (iii) any thing or
matter related to any of the foregoing. The inclusion of this paragraph in this
Agreement, and the execution of this Agreement by Lender, does not constitute an
acknowledgment or admission by any Lender of liability for any matter, or a
precedent upon which liability may be asserted.

            11.2. By Guarantor. Guarantor hereby releases, waives and forever
relinquishes all claims, demands, obligations, liabilities and causes of action
of whatever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, which it has, may have, or
might assert now or in the future against Lender and/or its participants,
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants, consultants,
successors and assigns, directly or indirectly, arising out of, based upon, or
in any manner connected with (i) any transaction, event, circumstance, action,
failure to act or occurrence of any sort or type, whether known or unknown,
prior to the execution of this Agreement with respect to the Obligations, the
Financing Documents and/or the administration thereof or the obligations created
thereby; (ii) any discussions, commitments, negotiations,


                                       4
<PAGE>

conversations or communications with respect to the refinancing, restructuring
or collection of any Obligations prior to the execution of this Agreement; or
(iii) any thing or matter related to any of the foregoing. The inclusion of this
paragraph in this Agreement, and the execution of this Agreement by Lender, does
not constitute an acknowledgment or admission by any Lender of liability for any
matter, or a precedent upon which liability may be asserted.

      12. General Provisions.

            12.1. Integration; Amendment; Waivers. This Agreement and the
Financing Documents set forth in full all of the terms of the agreement between
the parties and are intended as the full, complete and exclusive contract
governing the relationship between the parties, superseding all other
discussions, promises, representations, warranties, agreements and the
understandings between the parties with respect thereto. Borrower agrees that
the failure of any Obligor in the performance of any terms or conditions of this
Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under the Financing Documents
(with no notice or grace whatsoever, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
the Financing Documents). Obligor acknowledges and agrees that each and every
Event of Default shall be of equal weight and significance, and equally and
fully shall allow Lender to exercise its rights and remedies hereunder. Obligor
acknowledges and agrees that each such Event of Default has been a material
inducement for Lender to enter into this Agreement and that Lender would be
irreparably harmed if Lender, in any way, were unable to exercise its rights and
remedies on the basis that certain Events of Default (for example, Events of
Default not relating to payment) were of less weight or significance than
certain other Events of Default (for example, Events of Default relating to
payment). No term of this Agreement or the Financing Documents may be modified
or amended, nor may any rights thereunder be waived, except in a writing signed
by the party against whom enforcement of the modification, amendment or waiver
is sought. Any waiver of any condition in, or breach of, any of the foregoing in
a particular instance shall not operate as a waiver of other or subsequent
conditions or breaches of the same or a different kind. Lender's exercise or
failure to exercise any rights under any of the foregoing in a particular
instance shall not operate as a waiver of its right to exercise the same or
different rights in subsequent instances. Except as expressly provided to the
contrary in this Agreement, or in another written agreement, all the terms,
conditions, and provisions of the Financing Documents shall continue in full
force and effect. If in this Agreement's description of an agreement between the
parties, rights and remedies of Lender or obligations of Borrower are described
which also exist under the terms of the other Financing Documents, the fact that
this Agreement may omit or contain a briefer description of any rights, remedies
and obligations shall not be deemed to limit any of such rights, remedies and
obligations contained in the other Financing Documents. In the event that there
shall be any inconsistency between any provisions of this Agreement and a
provision set forth in any other Financing Document, the provision most
favorable to Lender and the most restrictive as to Obligor shall govern.

            12.2. Payment of Expenses. Without limiting the terms of the
Financing Documents, Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by or on
behalf of Lender (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) arising
under or in connection with this Agreement or the Financing Documents, including
without limitation, in connection with (i) the negotiation, preparation,
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Financing Documents,


                                       5
<PAGE>

and any and all consents, waivers or other documents or instruments relating
thereto, (ii) the filing and recording of any Financing Documents and any other
documents or instruments or further assurances filed or recorded in connection
with any Loan Document, (iii) any other action required in the course of
administration hereof, including, but not limited to, all fees and expenses
arising out of any audits, appraisals, and inspections, and (iv) the defense or
enforcement of the Financing Documents, whether or not there is any litigation
between the parties. All costs and expenses shall be added to the Obligations,
as Lender shall determine, and shall earn interest at the highest rate provided
for under the Financing Documents.

            12.3. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement does not create,
and shall not be construed as creating, any rights enforceable by any person not
a party to this Agreement.

            12.4. Reference to "Obligor." All references to "Obligor" in this
Agreement shall mean each and all Obligors (whether Obligor is a natural person
or a legal entity, and regardless of the use of the word "it" or similar term to
refer to Obligor), except where the context otherwise requires. Each promise,
agreement, representation, warranty and covenant made by Obligor herein is made
and given by each Obligor, jointly and severally, and all rights of Obligor
hereunder are enjoyed with respect to each Obligor, except as expressly set
forth herein.

            12.5. Separability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
remaining provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force
and effect.

            12.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

            12.7. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in each of the
obligations of Obligor and with respect to all conditions to be satisfied by
Obligor.

            12.8. Statute of Limitations. Obligor waives the benefit of all
statute(s) of limitations in any action or proceeding based upon or arising out
of this Agreement or the other Financing Documents.

            12.9. Construction; Voluntary Agreement; Representation by Counsel.
This Agreement has been prepared through the joint efforts of all the parties.
Neither its provisions nor any alleged ambiguity shall be interpreted or
resolved against any party on the ground that such party's counsel was the
draftsman of this Agreement. Each of the parties declares that such party has
carefully read this Agreement and the agreements, documents and instruments
being entered into in connection herewith and that such party knows the contents
thereof and sign the same freely and voluntarily. The parties hereto acknowledge
that they have been represented in negotiations for and preparation of this
Agreement and the agreements, documents and instrument being entered into in
connection herewith by legal counsel of their own choosing, and that each of
them has read the same and had their contents fully explained by such counsel
and is fully aware of their contents and legal effect.

            12.10. Governing law; Forum Selection. This Agreement has been
entered into and shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. As a
material part of the consideration to the parties for entering into this
Agreement, each party (i) agrees that, at the option of Lender, all actions and
proceedings based upon, arising out of or relating in any way directly or
indirectly to, this Agreement, or the Financing Documents, shall be litigated
exclusively in the state courts of the State of New York or, at Lender's option,
the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York; (ii)
consents to the jurisdiction of any such courts and consent to the service of
process in any such action or proceeding (whether or not litigated in courts
located in the State of New York or the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York) by personal delivery or any other method
permitted by law; and (iii) waives any and all rights to transfer or to change
the venue of any such action or proceeding to any court located outside the
courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York.

            12.11. Further Assurances. Obligor agrees to take all further
actions and execute all further documents as Lender may from time to time
reasonably request to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

            12.12. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the
respective parties hereto shall be given in accordance with the Financing
Documents.

            12.13. Mutual Waiver of Right to Jury Trial. LENDER AND OBLIGOR EACH
HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON,
ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO: (I) THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY OF THE
AGREEMENTS, INSTRUMENTS OR DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO HEREIN; OR (II) ANY OTHER
PRESENT OR FUTURE INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM; OR (III) ANY
CONDUCT, ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF LENDER OR OBLIGOR OR ANY OF THEIR DIRECTORS,
OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS OR ANY OTHER PERSONS AFFILIATED WITH
THEM; IN EACH OF THE FOREGOING CASES, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR
OTHERWISE.
