The Borrower has advised the Banks that the Borrower has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of February 10, 2000 (the "Merger Agreement"), among the Borrower, Opticare Health Systems, Inc. (the "Parent"), and OC Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent ("Merger Sub"), pursuant to which the parties intend to merge Merger Sub with and into the Borrower subject to the terms and conditions thereof which include, among other things, restructuring the Obligations owing to the Banks on terms and conditions mutually agreed upon by the Borrower and the Banks.
