                  Availability will be added to the availability determined

                  Special Advance Availability in excess of $1,000,000, if not
                  sooner repaid, will be due and payable in full and, from such
                  time until March 31, 2002, the amount of the Special Advance
                  Availability will not exceed an amount, as at any time of
                  determination, equal to (i) $1,000,000 less (ii) the sum of

                  less (ii) the sum of all outstanding amounts drawn (or deemed
                  to be drawn) under the Special Advance Availability as of each
                  date of drawing by Debtor of the Special Advance Availability.

                  balance of, and all accrued interest on, that portion of the

                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or
                  in the other Loan Documents, payments applied to reduce the
                  principal balance of the Line of Credit will be applied first

                  Advance Availability and second to reduce the remainder of the
                  Line of Credit. For all purposes of this Agreement and the
                  other Loan Documents, Debtor will be deemed to have made a
                  drawing of the Special Advance Availability, and the Special
                  Advance Availability will be deemed outstanding , in the
                  amount by which the outstanding balance of the Line of Credit,
                  as at any time of determination, exceeds availability under
                  the Line of Credit determined under subsections (a) and (b) of
                  Section 3.

                  (c) Borrower's ability to draw any additional sums under the
