will waive and hereby release and discharge the Company, and the Company will
waive and hereby release and discharge ProFutures, from any and all liability of
whatever kind or nature arising from any acts or omissions of either party,
known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, which occurred up to the date of this
Agreement, including but not limited to all liability for any acts that may have
violated their rights under any contract, tort, or other common law, or any
other duty or obligation of any kind; all liability, asserted or unasserted,
known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which was or may have been alleged
against or imputed to either party by the other party or anyone acting on its
behalf up to the date of this Agreement.

5. The Company hereby represents and warrants to ProFutures that, as of the date
hereof, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.2(a),
(b), (e) through (i) of the Subscription Agreement, incorporated herein as if
fully set forth, is true and correct, except that the Company has been notified

date.

6. If the Coventry Deliveries are not made by the earlier of: (a) 5:00 p.m.,
Austin, Texas time, February 28, 1999; or (b) suspension of trading or delisting
of the Company's Common Stock on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, this Agreement
shall be null and void. In such event, ProFutures shall be free to pursue all
rights and remedies at law or in equity under the Subscription Agreement or
otherwise.

relation to its subject matter, supersedes all prior agreements between the
parties, if any, concerning its subject matter, and may not be altered, amended,
modified, superseded, canceled, or terminated except by a writing duly executed
by the parties or their attorneys on their behalf.

rights contained in this Agreement are declared illegal, unenforceable, or
ineffective in a legal forum of competent jurisdiction, then such provisions,
terms, clauses, waivers, or releases of claims or rights shall be deemed
severable, such that all other provisions, terms, clauses, waivers, and releases
of claims and rights contained in this Agreement shall remain valid and binding
upon the parties.
