<PAGE>
4.     Scope  of  Release.  Each  Party  acknowledges  and agrees that this
       -------------------
Agreement  applies to all claims that any Party may have against the other Party
relating  to  the  subject matter of the Dispute, including, but not limited to,
causes  of  action, injuries, damages, claims for costs or losses to any Party's
person  and  property,  real  or  personal,  whether those injuries, damages, or
losses  are  known or unknown, foreseen or unforseen, or patent or latent.  This
Agreement  is  not  intended  to,  nor  shall  it, alter or modify any rights or
obligations  of  the  Parties under any other agreements not mentioned herein to
which  the  Parties  may  be  a  party.

5.     Section  1542  Release.  It is understood and agreed by Hun, IRI and
       -----------------------
Century,  and each of them, that all rights under Section 1542 of the Civil Code
of  California,  which  provides  as  follows:

"A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or
suspect  to  exist  in  his favor at the time of executing the release, which if
known  by  him  must  have  materially affected his settlement with the debtor."

are  hereby  expressly  waived.  Each  of  Hun, IRI and Century acknowledges and
agrees that each understands the consequences of a waiver of Section 1542 of the
California  Civil Code and assumes full responsibility for any and all injuries,
damages,  losses  or liabilities that may hereinafter arise out of or be related
to  matters  released  hereunder.  Each  of Hun, IRI and Century understands and
acknowledges  that  the  significance  and consequence of this waiver of Section
1542  of  the  Civil  Code  is  that even if such party should eventually suffer
additional  damages arising out of the Dispute, he will not be permitted to make
any  claim  for  those  damages.  Furthermore,  each  of  Hun,  IRI  and Century
acknowledges  that  they intend these consequences even as to claims for damages
that  may  exist  as  of  the  date of this Agreement but which they do not know
exists,  and  which, if known, would materially affect their decision to execute
this  Agreement,  regardless of whether their lack of knowledge is the result of
ignorance,  oversight,  error,  negligence,  or  any  other  cause.

6.     Confidentiality.  Each  Party  hereto  will  hold and will cause its
       ----------------
consultants  and  advisors  to  hold  in  strict confidence, unless compelled to
disclose  by  judicial  or  administrative  process  or,  in  the opinion of its
counsel,  by other requirements of law, all documents and information concerning
any  other  Party  furnished  it  by  such other Party or its representatives in
connection  with  the  subject  matter of the Dispute (except to the extent that
such  information can be shown to have been (i) previously known by the Party to
which  it  was  furnished,  (ii)  in  the public domain through no fault of such
Party, or (iii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by the Party to which
it  was furnished), and each Party will not release or disclose such information
to any other person, except its auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers
and  other  consultants  and  advisors  in connection with this Agreement.  Each
Party  shall  be  deemed  to  have satisfied its obligation to hold confidential
information  concerning  or supplied by the other Party if it exercises the same
care  as  it  takes to preserve confidentiality for its own similar information.

7.     No Representations.  Each Party acknowledges and represents that, in
       ------------------
executing  this  Agreement,  such  Party  has  not  relied  on  any inducements,
promises,  or  representations  made  by  any Party or any party representing or
serving  such  Party,  unless  expressly  set  forth  herein.

8.     Disputed  Claim.  This  Agreement  pertains  to a disputed claim and
       ---------------
does  not  constitute  an  admission  of liability by any Party for any purpose.


<PAGE>
9.     Covenant  Re:  Assignment.  The  Parties  hereto,  and each of them,
       -------------------------
represent  and  warrant  to each other that each is the sole and lawful owner of
all  right, title and interest in and to every claim and other matter which each
purports  to  release  herein,  and  that  they  have not heretofore assigned or
transferred,  or  purported  to  assign  or  transfer,  to  any  person,  firm,
association,  corporation  or  other entity, any right, title or interest in any
such  claim  or  other matter.   In the event that such representation is false,
and  any  such  claim or matter is asserted against any Party hereto (and/or the
successor  of  such  Party)  by  any  Party  or  entity  who  is the assignee or
transferee  of  such  claim  or  matter  shall  fully indemnify, defend and hold
harmless  the  Party  against  who  such  claim  or  matter is asserted (and its
successors)  from  and  against  such claim or matter and from all actual costs,
fees,  expenses,  liabilities,  and  damages  which  that  Party  (and/or  its
successors)  incurs  as  a  result  of  the  assertion  of such claim or matter.

remedy, prevent or obtain relief from a breach of this Agreement, arising out of
a  breach  of  this Agreement, involving claims within the scope of the releases
contained in this Agreement, or pertaining to a declaration of rights under this
Agreement,  the  prevailing  Party  shall recover all of such Party's attorneys'
fees and costs incurred in each and every such action, suit or other proceeding,
including  any  and  all  appeals  or  petitions  therefrom.

     (b)     As  used  herein,  attorneys' fees shall be deemed to mean the full
and actual costs of any legal services actually performed in connection with the
Dispute  involved,  calculated  on  the  basis  of  the usual fee charged by the
attorneys  performing  such  services.

14.     Choice of Law; Venue.  This Agreement and the rights of the parties
