                                      AGREEMENT

          Therefore, the parties hereto agree as follows:

          1.      Modification of Registration  Rights  Agreement.  The  Registration
 Rights Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

                  (a)      Warrant Agreement.  Section 11 of the Registration Rights
          Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following definition:

                           "Warrant        Agreement"        means,
                           notwithstanding      the      definition
                           contained   in  the   Recitals  of  this
                           Agreement,    that    certain    Warrant
                           Agreement,   dated   October   31,  2000
                           between   the   Company   and  CTW,   as
                           amended,   supplemented   or   otherwise
                           modified from time to time.



                                                          1





                    (b)    Warrants.  The definition of 'Warrants" in Section 11 is
           hereby amended by replacing such definition with the following definition:

                             "Warrants" means,  notwithstanding  the
                             definition  contained  in the  Recitals
                             of  this  Agreement,  the  warrants  to
                             purchase  Common  Stock  issued  by the
                             Company to CTW  pursuant to the Warrant
                             Agreement.
2.       Incorporation.  This Amendment shall form a part of the Registration Rights
 Agreement, and all references hereafter to the Registration Rights Agreement in any
 document executed in connection with the Registration Rights Agreement shall mean
 the Registration Rights Agreement as hereby modified.
3.       No Impairment.  Except as specifically hereby amended, the Registration
 Rights Agreement shall remain unaffected by this Amendment and shall remain in full
 force and effect.
4.       Integration.  The Registration Rights Agreement and this Amendment:
 (a)  integrate  all the  terms  and  conditions  mentioned  in or  incidental  to the
 Registration   Rights   Agreement  and  this   Amendment;   (b)  supersede  all  oral
 negotiations  and prior and other writings with respect to their subject matter;  and
 (c) are  intended  by the  parties  as the final  expression  of the  agreement  with
 respect  to the  terms  and  conditions  set  forth  in  those  documents  and as the
 complete and  exclusive  statement  of the terms  agreed to by the parties.  If there
 is any conflict  between the terms,  conditions  and provisions of this Amendment and
 those of any other  agreement or instrument,  including any of the Loan Documents (as
 defined in the  Credit  Agreement),  the terms,  conditions  and  provisions  of this
 Amendment shall prevail.
5.       Miscellaneous.   This  Amendment  and  any  attached   consents  or  exhibits
 requiring  signatures may be executed in  counterparts,  and all  counterparts  shall
 constitute  but one and the same  document.  If any court of  competent  jurisdiction
 determines any provision of this Amendment or the  Registration  Rights  Agreement to
 be invalid,  illegal or unenforceable,  that portion shall be deemed severed from the
 rest,  which shall remain in full force and effect as though the invalid,  illegal or
 unenforceable  portion had never been a part of this  Amendment  or the  Registration
 Rights Agreement.  As used here, the word "include(s)"  means  "includes(s),  without
 limitation," and the word "including" means "including, but not limited to."
6.       Governing  Law.  This  Amendment  shall  be  governed  by  and  construed  in
 accordance  with the laws of the  State of New  York,  without  giving  effect to its
 principles  or rules of  conflict  of laws to the  extent  such  principles  or rules
 would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
