accelerate the maturity of any such Other Indebtedness or to enforce or exercise
any remedies in respect thereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Notes, the Company and
each Holder hereby agree that the interest on the Notes which is due and payable
on August 1, 2000 (the "August 2000 Interest Payment"), will be deemed to be
Defaulted Interest but will be payable on the earlier of (i) November 1, 2000,
