This letter shall confirm our agreement that:
(i) On or before July 6, 2000, the Company shall enter into
definitive agreements with its depository banks and BACF providing for
a new cash management system satisfactory to BACF, to include lockbox
arrangements whereby all proceeds of the Company's and its
Subsidiaries' accounts receivable, inventory and other Collateral shall
be deposited in one or more lockbox accounts under the sole dominion
and control of BACF, with all funds deposited in such lockbox accounts
to be transferred to BACF on each business day, and applied to repay
the outstanding obligations of the Company; and
(ii) On or before August 1, 2000, the Company shall cause the
new cash management system agreed to pursuant to paragraph (i) above to
be fully operational (including all lockbox accounts and daily sweep
arrangements); provided that, if the Company shall complete its
proposed recapitalization with *** on or before such date, BACF agrees
to waive compliance by the Company with this paragraph (ii) so long as
no Event of Default shall then exist.
Any failure by the Company to fully comply with the requirements of
paragraphs (i) and (ii) set forth above shall constitute an Event of Default
under the Credit Agreement and the other Financing Documents.

entitled to exercise all of its present rights and remedies with respect to such
