              Re:  PDK Labs Inc. ("PDK") and Futurebiotics, Inc.
                   (collectively, the "Co-Borrowers")

Gentlemen:

     The undersigned, European American Bank ("EAB"), as agent (in such
capacity, the "Agent") for itself, Bank Leumi USA ("Bank Leumi") and National
Bank of Canada ("NBC", and, collectively with EAB and Bank Leumi, the "Banks"),
has been advised by the Co-Borrowers that G.E. Capital Corp. (the "New Lender")
will be engaging in financing of the Co-Borrowers. It is the understanding of
the Banks that a portion of the proceeds of said financing will be used to repay
the total indebtedness of the Co-Borrowers to the Banks.

     Based on the Banks' books and records, the total amount of "Obligations"
(as defined in that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of August 20, 1997, among
the Co-Borrowers, the Agent and the Banks (as amended or modified, the
"Agreement") due the Banks, in the aggregate, if paid on July 21, 1999, after
giving effect to confirmed collections of receivables through July 21, 1999 is
$2,732,504.24 (the "Payoff Amount") (allocable to the Banks and to the Agent's
attorney, as set forth below) which amount includes (i) all principal, interest,
fees, costs, expenses and liquidated damages due to the Banks as of such date in
the amount of $2,728,304.24 and (ii) legal fees and expenses of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx,
P.C., attorney for the Agent as of such date, in the amount of $4,200.00;
provided, however, that if the Payoff Amount is not received by the Banks by
2:00 p.m. on July 21, 1999, per diem interest of $707.09 per day (other than
with respect to the payment to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx) shall be due until payment is so
received. The Payoff Amount (plus any applicable per diem interest) should be
wire transferred to PDK's checking account at EAB, whereupon EAB is authorized
to debit such account for an amount equal to the Payoff Amount.

     In consideration of the payment in full of the Co-Borrowers's indebtedness
to the Banks and the termination of the Commitments of the Banks, as set forth
above, and the agreements of the Co-Borrowers contained herein, each Bank hereby
(i) acknowledges and agrees that payment of the Payoff Amount, if paid on July
21, 1999 in immediately available funds, will constitute payment in full of all
of the Co-Borrowers's indebtedness and obligations to the Banks, except as set
forth herein, (ii) represents that it has no other credit arrangements with,
loans outstanding to, guaranties by, or interests or liens against the
Co-Borrowers or the Co-Borrowers' personal



property, (iii) releases, effective upon receipt of the Payoff Amount, all
security interests and liens which the Co-Borrowers may have granted to the
Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, (iv) agrees that it will, at the
Co-Borrowers' or New Lender's expense, terminate all of its agreements with the
Co-Borrowers, and (v) agrees that the Co-Borrowers have no further liabilities
or obligations thereunder, except for those which by the terms of the Agreement
survive the termination thereof and except as set forth herein.

     The Agent further agrees, at the Co-Borrowers' or the New Lender's expense,
to deliver to the Co-Borrowers, upon payment in full of the Payoff Amount, such
termination statements, releases, cancellations, discharges or other agreements
as may be reasonably requested by the Co-Borrowers or the New Lender in
connection with the release of the security interests and liens in favor of the
Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Banks (collectively, the "Termination
Documents"); provided, however, that the Co-Borrowers or the New Lender shall
supply the Agent with the forms of any such Termination Documents (except for
the UCC-3 Termination Statements to be prepared by the Agent) to be executed by
the Agent.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Agent and
the Banks hereby reserve all of their rights with respect to any and all checks
or similar instruments for payment of money heretofore received by them in
connection with their arrangements with the Co-Borrowers, and all of their
rights to any monies due or to become due under said checks or similar
instruments and/or all of their claims thereon.

     This letter may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute
one and the same agreement.

                                        EUROPEAN AMERICAN BANK, as a
                                        Bank and as Agent
