Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will,
(i) conflict with any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of
SDAI, (ii) result in a breach of, or constitute a default (or an event, which
would, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, constitute a
default) under, or give rise to a right to terminate, amend, modify, abandon,
accelerate, any material contract, agreement, lease, indenture, instrument or
license to which SDAI is a party or by which SDAI's assets or properties may be
bound or affected; (iii) violate or conflict with any federal, state, or local
law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, judgement, decree, or
arbitration award which is either applicable to, binding upon or enforceable
against SDAI; (iv) result in or require the creation or imposition of Liens upon
or with respect to any assets of SDAI or the Loans; (v) violate any legally
protected right arising in the operation of SDAI's business of any individual or
entity or give to any individual or entity a right or claim against Mr. C's or
the Loans; or (vi) require the consent, approval or other authorization of, or
the registration, declaration or filing with any Government Entity.

business.

         10.2  Right of Setoff. SDAI may immediately set off against the
Operating Account any Indemnifiable damages which it is entitled to recover
under this Article. SDAI shall give notice to Mr. C's of SDAI claim for
Indemnifiable Damages. If, prior to the expiration of 10 Business Days from the
date of such notice, Mr. C's shall notify SDAI of an intention to dispute the
claim and if such dispute is not resolved within 30 days after expiration of
such period, then such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance
with Section 11.1 of this Agreement. If Mr. C's prevails in arbitration, SDAI
shall immediately reimburse the Operating Account to the extent of the previous
setoff.

         10.3  Third Party Claims

         (a)  For an Indemnified Party to be entitled to indemnification under
this Article in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim or demand made
by, any Person against the Indemnified Party (a "Third Party Claim"), such
Indemnified Party must notify Mr. C's in writing of the Third Party claim within
10 Business Days after receipt by such indemnified Party of notice of the Third
Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not
affect the indemnification provided hereunder except (i) to the extent Mr. C's
shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure and (ii) that
Mr. C's shall not be liable for any out of pocket expenses incurred by the
Indemnified Party during the period in which the Indemnified Party failed to
give such notice. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to Mr. C's,
within 5 Business Days after the Indemnified Party's receipt thereof, copies of
all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified
Party relating to the Third Party Claim.

         (b)  If a Third Party Claim is made against any Indemnified Party, Mr.
C's shall assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by Mr. C's and
reasonably acceptable to SDAI. If Mr. C's assumes such defense, the Indemnified
Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ
counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by Mr. C's.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, SDAI shall have the right to employ counsel at
Mr. C's expense if the interest of Mr. C's and SDAI conflict in any material
respect as to such Third Party Claim. If Mr. C's fails to assume the defense of
any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, if it so chooses, assume the
defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party. If the
Indemnified Party elects to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, Mr. C's
(i) shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by
the Indemnified Party and (ii) shall be entitled to participate in (but not
control) the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate
from the counsel employed by the Indemnified Party. Regardless of which party
defends or prosecutes any Third Party Claim, all the parties hereto shall retain
and provide to the other, as required, records and information which are
reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and make employees available on a
mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of
any material provided hereunder.

         (c)  Whether or not the Indemnified Party shall have assumed the
defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any
liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party
Claims without Mr. C's prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

         11.1  Arbitration. Any controversy or claim between SDAI and Mr. C's
arising out of or relating to this Agreement, this acquisition or ownership of
the loans, or the parties' dealing with each other shall be settled by binding
arbitration in Broward County, Florida, in accordance with the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment upon the
award rendered by the arbitration may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof. The arbitration shall be conducted before and by a single
arbitrator selected by the parties. If the parties have not selected an
arbitrator within 10 days of written demand for arbitration by either party, the
arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association pursuant to
the then current rules of that Association. The expenses shall be divided
equally between the parties but shall ultimately be subject to award to the
prevailing party. The duty to arbitrate shall survive the cancellation or
termination of this Agreement.

         11.2  Security Interest of SDAI

         (a) In order to secure SDAI's right under this agreement, including the
SDAI Return and SDAI's right to indemnification hereunder, Mr. C's hereby grants

Operating Account and products and proceeds of the above including the Vehicles.

         (b) At or prior to funding of a purchase price, Mr. C's shall execute
and deliver to SDAI all instruments and documents necessary to perfect a first
priority security interest in the Loans, Loan Files, Loan Documents, Operation
Account and products and proceed of the above in favor of SDAI. Mr. C's shall
endorse each Note "payable to the order of SDAI" and deliver the Loan documents
to SDAI with the Senior Participation Certificate. Such Loan Documents will
maintain in the possession of SDAI for the benefit of Mr. C's and SDAI, subject
to SDAI's security interest therein.

         (c) Simultaneously with funding of a purchase price, Mr. C's shall
assign to SDAI its lien and security interest in each vehicle, such assignment
to be in form suitable for recordation in the jurisdiction in which the Vehicle
is titled. Mr. C's shall bear all expenses in connection with the preparation
and recording of the assignment.

         (d) Immediately following the purchase of a Senior Participation, Mr.
C's shall take all actions necessary to continue a perfected lien and security
interest in the Vehicles in favor of SDAI, including the assignment of the
Security Agreement relating to each vehicle, and otherwise take all actions
necessary to maintain such Security Agreement as a lien and security interest
upon such vehicle.

         (e) Mr. C's shall deliver to SDAI evidence, in form reasonably
satisfactory to SDAI, of its compliance with Sections 11.2 (c) and (d),
including file-stamped copies of all statements and notices referred to in
Section 11.2(d).

         (f) Mr. C's shall pay the costs and expenses relating to the actions
described in Sections 11.2(b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) including the costs of
filing any financing or security interest filing statements as well as any
recordation or transfer fees or taxes required by law to be paid in connection
with the filing or recording of any such statement. Such costs and expenses
shall not be chargeable to the Operating Account.

         11.17. Right to Receiver/Injunction Relief. The rights of SDAI to
assume servicing upon the occurrence of the events set forth in Article III are
unique and fundamental to preservation and protection of the collateral. Mr. C's
agrees shall that its failure to comply with the transfer requirements is likely
to create irreparable harm to SDAI for which it has no remedy at law. To that
end, SDAI has the right to seek and obtain mandatory injunctive relief and for
the appointment of a receiver from a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce
the transfer of the servicing and operating account and the arbitration
provisions shall not be applicable to such action.


         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, SDAI and Mr. C's have caused this Agreement to be
signed, as of the date first written above, by their respective officers
thereunto duly authorized.


                                               Mr. C's AUTO SALES, INC.
