         2. RESCISSION OF WAIVERS. The foregoing waivers shall be automatically
rescinded, without notice to LPC or LRG, in the event that the holder of any
Other Indebtedness or trustee in respect thereof seeks to accelerate the
maturity of any such Other Indebtedness or to enforce or exercise any remedies
in respect thereto.

         3. EFFECTIVE DATE.

            This Agreement shall be deemed effective as of April 30, 2001.

enforceability of creditors' rights generally or by general equitable
principles.

         5. NO OTHER AMENDMENTS.
