     WHEREAS, the Trustee on May 19, 2000, issued a Notice of Default consistent
with the terms of the Indenture; and

     WHEREAS,  the Company has  requested  that the Signing  Holders and Trustee
forbear in the  exercise  of  remedies  with  respect to  certain  existing  and
anticipated  Defaults and Events of Default (as defined in the  Indenture),  and
the Signing Holders and the Trustee are willing to grant such forbearance on the
terms and conditions provided herein;

     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the premises and  covenants  herein
contained, and for other valuable consideration,  the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged,  the parties hereto mutually agree and covenant as
follows:

     SECTION  1.  CAPITALIZED  TERMS.  Capitalized  terms  used  herein  without
definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

     SECTION 2. FORBEARANCE. The Signing Holders and Trustee agree, on the terms
and  subject  to the  conditions  hereof,  to forbear  during  the  period  (the
"FORBEARANCE  PERIOD") from and after the Effective  Date until (but  excluding)
the  Forbearance  Termination  Date (as defined in Section 3) in the exercise of
the rights and remedies available under the Indenture and the Notes with respect
to any  Default or Event of Default.  Notwithstanding  such  forbearance,  it is
understood by the Company and  Guarantors  that the Signing  Holders and Trustee
have not waived any existing or anticipated  Default or Event of Default, or any

     competent  jurisdiction,  and in the case of an involuntary  proceeding the
     passage of twenty-five  (25) days from the date of such filing without such
     filing being dismissed or stayed,  by or with respect to the Company or one
     or more of the Guarantors; and

          (c) the first date during the Forbearance  Period that any new Default
     or  Event of  Default  ("NEW  DEFAULT")  or by  breach  by the  Company  or
     Guarantors  hereunder occurs;  notwithstanding  the foregoing,  and for the
     exclusive  purposes of this Standstill  Agreement,  a New Default shall not
     include  a Default  or an Event of  Default  that  exists as of one (1) day
     preceding Effective Date and that continues beyond that date.

     From and after the Forbearance  Termination Date, the forbearance set forth
herein shall  terminate  and be of no further  force or effect,  and the Signing

each of the  Guarantors  hereby  expressly  waives any right of notice  from the
Holders or the Trustee other than notice of any New Default under the Indenture.

Holders under this Standstill  Agreement,  except as would otherwise be required
by law.  Dreyfus  agrees and  acknowledges  that in the event that  Dreyfus does
receive such  information,  any restrictions on trading will be coextensive with
those restrictions imposed upon the other Signing Holders under applicable law.

hold an aggregate  principal  amount of  approximately  $66,850,000 of the Notes

obligation,  express or implied,  to consent to any  modification  or  amendment
hereof or to any extension of the Forbearance Period.

     SECTION  16.  REMEDIES.  No failure on the part of a Signing  Holder or the
Trustee to  exercise,  and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in

Documents  shall  operate as a waiver  thereof;  nor shall any single or partial
exercise  by the  Trustee or any  Signing  Holder of any right,  power or remedy
hereunder  or under  the  Indenture  Documents  preclude  any  other or  further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
