          York (96 B 43360-61) on August 3, 1995 (the "Harvey
          Bankruptcy").  By orders of the court dated August 8, and
          August 28, 1995, Harvey obtained debtor-in-possession
          financing from Congress Financial Corporation ("Con-
          gress").

                    2.  Harvey shall file a plan or reorganization
          ("POR"), in form and content acceptable to HAC.

          for the following treatment of pre-petition claims:

                         a.  The existing secured working capital
          line with Congress Financial Corp., ($3 million) shall be
          either replaced or continued;

          loan of $275,000 and the InterEquity Credit Corp. loans
          of $600,000 may be converted to shares of registered
          reorganized Harvey common stock, subject to the approval
          of the lender and in amounts acceptable to HAC and debt-
          or.

                         c.  Unsecured creditors shall receive

          record date to be determined, shall receive shares of
          reorganized Harvey common stock or warrants for such
          shares in amounts acceptable to HAC and Debtor.

                         e.  Real property lease cure amounts shall

          post petition accounts payable.

                    4.  HAC may, at is option, convert the debt
          owed to it by Harvey to reorganized Harvey common stock
          in an appropriate ratio to the distributions described in
          paragraphs 3(b),(c), and (d) above, and in amounts of
          shares and warrants acceptable to HAC.

                    5.  Management and key employees shall partici-
          pate in a stock option plan of reorganized Harvey stock,
          acceptable to HAC.

                    6.  Harvey will confirm its POR no later than
          February 29, 1996 with an effective date no later than
          March 31, 1996.  The final confirmation order will be

          shall be acceptable to HAC in its sole discretion.  These
          funds shall be utilized by Harvey to purchase inventory
          and for other operational expenses acceptable to HAC. 
          These loans may at the option of HAC be converted to
          equity upon confirmation of the POR, or at any time
          thereafter.

          make available to Harvey an additional $1,250,000 in the
          form of loans to be made pursuant to an order to be
          entered in the Harvey Bankruptcy, such loans to be on a
          secured basis subject and subordinate only to the Con-
          gress financing.  The form of order approving such fi-
          nancing shall be acceptable to HAC in its sole discre-
          tion.  These funds shall be utilized by Harvey to pur-
          chase inventory and for other operational expenses ac-
          ceptable to HAC.  These loans may at option of HAC be
          converted to equity upon confirmation of POR, or any time
          thereafter.

                    11.  This agreement is subject in all respects
          to the execution and delivery of final, definitive docu-
          mentation, and approval thereof by order of the Bankrupt-
          cy Court ("Approval Order").

          paragraphs 9 and 10 herein shall be repaid in event the
          POR is not confirmed as set forth herein.
