amounts in the Account, absent Warrantech's prior written consent, Butler hereby
agrees that all Additional Fees shall be paid exclusively into either bank

that there are any dollar amounts in the Account, absent Warrantech's prior
written consent, Butler hereby agrees not to change or attempt to change said
payment flow. Butler hereby agrees that regardless of the source of causation or
any other fact, event, occurrence or circumstance, no Warrantech Entity or any
Exculpated Person shall under any circumstances have any liability or obligation
of any kind in respect of or relating to the Additional Fees, including, without
limitation, any change, reduction, nonpayment, redirection, cessation or
termination of any such Additional Fees, and Butler also hereby agrees that any
such change, reduction, nonpayment, redirection, cessation or termination may
occur at any time and may be caused by any person or entity.

      4. Butler Loans. On the terms and conditions specified in this Section 4
and on Schedule 4, any Warrantech Entity may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make loans to Butler in accordance
with Schedule 4 (the "Butler Loans") in such amounts as shall be determined by
such Warrantech Entity from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion.

obligation to make any Butler Loan and this shall not be modified by any
dealing, any course or pattern of conduct between the parties or any other
circumstances or events except a written amendment to this Agreement which

authorization, approval, registration or filing under any contract, agreement,

board, bureau, body, department or authority, or of any other person or entity,
(d) causes or will cause or gives or will give any creditor the power to cause

agreements or contracts of Butler.

            7.4 Butler is not obligated with respect to any indebtedness, lease

all those used in its businesses, are subject to no mortgage, pledge,
conditional sales contract, lien, security interest, right of possession in
favor of any third party, claim or other encumbrance (any of the foregoing, a
"Lien"), except any Lien for current taxes not yet due and payable and the Lien
being created by the Security Agreement in favor of Warrantech Corporation, as
agent for the ratable benefit of the Warrantech Entities.

            7.6 Except as set forth in Schedule 7.6, there are no actions,
suits, proceedings or investigations, either at law or in equity, or before any
commission or other administrative authority in any United States or foreign
jurisdiction, or any arbitration, of any kind now pending or threatened or
proposed in any manner, or any circumstances which should or could reasonably
form the basis of any such action, suit or proceeding or investigation,
involving or relating to Butler or any of the properties or assets of Butler.

            7.7 Warrantech Corporation, as agent for the ratable benefit of the
Warrantech Entities, has a first priority perfected security interest in each
bank account constituting the Account, and all existing and future accounts (as
defined in Article 9 of the New York Uniform

delivery or performance of this Agreement or any Relevant Agreement by any
Warrantech Entity nor the consummation of any of the transactions provided for
in this Agreement or any Relevant Agreement will violate or conflict with any
provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of any Warrantech
Entity.

      9. Covenants of Butler. Butler covenants and agrees with Warrantech, until
all of Butler's obligations under this Agreement and all Relevant Documents and

after said satisfaction, at all times that there are any dollar amounts in the
Account, as follows:

and/or any failure of any Subject Agent or Great American to pay any Additional
Fee, or any cessation in payment of or any delay in payment of or any change,

written among the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement other
than those set forth or provided for in this Agreement or the other Relevant
Agreements. This Agreement supersedes all prior oral or written agreements or
discussions among the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement,

Agreement may not be modified or changed, in whole or in part, except by a

            11.8 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to its conflict of
law principles, including, but not limited to, Section 202 of the New York Civil
Practice Law and Rules, but giving full effect to Section 5-1401 of the New York
General Obligations Law.

            11.9 The headings of the Sections, paragraphs and subparagraphs of
this Agreement are solely for convenience and reference and shall not limit or
otherwise affect the meaning of any of the terms or provisions of this
Agreement. The references herein to Sections, Exhibits and Schedules, unless
otherwise indicated, are references to sections of and exhibits and schedules to
this Agreement.

            11.10 Wherever from the context it appears appropriate, each term
stated in either the singular or plural shall include the singular and plural,
and pronouns stated in either the masculine, the feminine and the neuter. The
word "will", as used in this Agreement, shall be mandatory and have the same
meaning as the word "shall".

            11.11 The failure of any party to seek redress for violation, or to
insist on strict performance, of any covenant or condition of this Agreement
shall not prevent a subsequent act which would have constituted a violation from
having the effect of an original violation.

            11.12 The waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement by
any party at any time shall not be effective unless in writing, and no such
waiver shall constitute the waiver of the same or another breach on a subsequent
occasion.

            11.13 Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to the exclusive
jurisdiction of any state or federal court located within the State of New York,
Texas, Connecticut, Delaware, California and/or Florida, as selected by

venue or forum non conveniens, waives personal service of any and all process
upon it,


                                       7
<PAGE>

and consents that all service of process may be made by mail or courier service
directed to it at the notice address set forth in this Agreement and that
service so made shall be deemed to be completed upon the earlier of actual
receipt or ten (10) days after the same shall have been posted. Nothing
contained in this Section shall affect the right of any party hereto to enforce
any judgment obtained in any court in any other court or serve legal process in
any other manner permitted by law.

            11.14 EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT
OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY SUCH TRIAL SHALL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY BY A JUDGE.
EACH OF THE PARTIES CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE OTHERS WOULD NOT, IN THE
EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS.

            11.15 EACH PARTY AGREES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN
REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT COUNSEL IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR BEEN
ADVISED THAT IT SHOULD BE REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT COUNSEL IN CONNECTION WITH
THIS AGREEMENT. IF ANY PARTY DECIDED NOT TO BE REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT

DEFENSES OR RIGHTS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO SAID DECISION. BUTLER HEREBY
AGREES THAT IT FULLY UNDERSTANDS THE ASSUMED LIABILITIES THE ADDITIONAL FEES,
THE BUTLER LOANS AND THE CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH THE ADDITIONAL FEES AND/OR
BUTLER LOANS MAY OR MAY NOT BE PAID OR LOANED AND ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE RELEVANT DOCUMENTS.

            11.16 Each provision of this Agreement shall be considered separable
and if for any reason any provision or provisions of this Agreement, or the
application of such provision to any party or circumstance, shall be held
invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision or provisions
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity
or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, or the
application of the affected provision to parties or circumstances other than
those to which it was held invalid or unenforceable, and any such invalidity or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

            11.17 This Agreement and each of the Relevant Documents shall be
construed without regard to the principal that a contract should be construed
against the draftsperson, and all parties to this Agreement or the Relevant
Documents, as applicable, shall be deemed equal draftspersons of this Agreement
or the Relevant Documents, as applicable.

            11.18 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be an original, but which together constitute one and the
same instrument.

(b)   The Additional Fee can be changed, not paid, terminated, reduced or

                                   SCHEDULE 4

                                  Butler Loans

(a)   As of this date, Warrantech Corp. has made a $1,000,000 loan to Butler.
      Any Warrantech Entity may, in its sole and absolute discretion, although
      it is not required to, for the period of time specified in and otherwise
      subject to section (b) of this Schedule 4, make loans to Butler in amounts
      to be determined by such Warrantech Entity in its sole and absolute
      discretion. If Butler wants a Warrantech Entity to make loans to it, it
      shall make such request in writing specifying the date and amount of the
      requested loan and other information required by Warrantech. For
      clarification purposes, without such request, Warrantech may, in its sole
      and absolute discretion, make loans to Butler in amounts to be determined
      by such Warrantech Entity if such loans are for the purpose of satisfying
      the Assumed Liabilities, Dealer Obligor Liabilities and/or Butler Obligor
      Liabilities. The proceeds of any loans made by any Warrantech Entity in
      its sole and absolute discretion shall be disbursed only into one of the
      bank accounts which constitutes an Account (as specified by Warrantech) no
      later than three (3) business days after, if applicable, any such request,
      or otherwise at such time as shall be determined by Warrantech. Warrantech
      shall maintain a record of all loans made by it to Butler and its records
      shall be conclusive and binding as to the date and amount of such loans;
      provided, however, the failure to maintain such records shall not impair
      or otherwise affect Butler's obligations regarding such loans.

(b)   Without limiting the discretion of the Warrantech Entities under (a) above
      or implying or creating any obligation of any Warrantech Entity to make
      any loan, the Warrantech Entities, unless they determine otherwise, shall
      not make any loans under (a) on or after the earliest to occur of any of
      the following:

      (x)   Butler's breach of any representation, warranty, covenant,
            indemnification or any other provision of this Agreement or any
            Relevant Agreement;

      (y)   any Butler Bankruptcy Event or Warrantech Bankruptcy Event;

      (z)   the date which is 30 days after Warrantech provides Butler with
            written notice of Warrantech's termination of any loans under
            Section 4 of this Agreement and this Schedule 4; or

      (xx)  any Great American Termination Event; or

      (yy)  any Fee Default.

       Description of Account; Use of Proceeds; Administration of Account


      Unless otherwise consented to in writing by Warrantech, the proceeds of
all Butler Loans and Additional Fees shall be deposited into a bank account
constituting the Account (as specified by Warrantech), and no monies shall be
disbursed from the Account except in accordance with the written instructions of
Warrantech or one of its duly authorized officers. All monies in the Account
shall be invested only as determined by Warrantech and shall only be utilized to
pay the Assumed Liabilities, and all of Butler's obligations under this
Agreement and all Relevant Documents and, to the extent approved by the relevant
administrator in connection with the processing of the related claims, Dealer
Obligor Liabilities and Butler Obligor Liabilities. The Account will be closed
only with Warrantech's prior written consent. Amounts in the Account shall be
used to pay any, certain or all of the Assumed Liabilities, Dealer Obligor
Liabilities and/or Butler Obligor Liabilities in the order in which the related
claims are approved in connection with the administration of such claims, and
Butler hereby agrees that Warrantech may and hereby authorizes Warrantech,
without further consideration, to utilize monies in the Account to pay the
Assumed Liabilities, Dealer Obligor Liabilities and/or Butler Obligor
Liabilities in such manner and Butler hereby waives all defenses with respect
thereto and agrees not to challenge the use of any such monies in the Account in
any such manner.
