3.     Warranties,  Covenants and  Agreements.  Debtor  warrants,  covenants and
       agrees as follows:


                                       2




       2.1    Bank at its option may  disburse  loan  proceeds  directly  to the
              seller of any  collateral  to be acquired  with  proceeds of loans
              from Bank.

       2.2    Debtor shall (a) keep adequate records of the Collateral and other
              records as Bank shall determine to be  appropriate;  and (b) allow
              Bank to examine,  inspect and make abstracts  from, or copy any of
              Debtor's  books  and  records   (relating  to  the  Collateral  or
              otherwise  and whether  printed or in magnetic tape or discs or in
              other machine  readable  form),  and arrange for  verification  of
              Accounts  Receivable  directly  with  account  debtors or by other
              methods acceptable to Bank.

       2.3    Debtor shall at the request of Bank deliver to Bank all accounting
              and other records pertaining to, and all writings evidencing,  the
              Collateral or any portion of it, together with all books,  records
              and  documents  of Debtor  related to it in whatever  form kept by
              Debtor,  whether  printed or in magnetic tape or discs or in other
              machine  readable  form or  otherwise,  and all  forms,  programs,
              software and other materials and instructions  necessary or useful
              to Bank,  to monitor the  Collateral  or enforce its rights  under
              this Agreement.

       2.4    At the time  any  Collateral  becomes,  or is  represented  to be,
              subject to a security  interest in favor of Bank,  Debtor shall be
              deemed to have  warranted  that (a) Debtor is the lawful  owner of
              the  Collateral and has the right and authority to subject it to a
              security interest granted to Bank; (b) except for leases currently
              in  place,  none of the  Collateral  is  subject  to any  security
              interest other than that in favor of Bank and the lien of Foxmeyer
              Drug Co.  ("Foxmeyer")  and there are no financing  statements  on
              file, other than in favor of such parties; and (c) Debtor acquired
              its  rights  in the  Collateral  in  the  ordinary  course  of its
              business.

       2.5    On each  occasion on which  Debtor  evidences  to Bank the account
              balances  on and  the  nature  and  extent  of  Debtor's  Accounts
              Receivable,  Debtor shall be deemed to have  warranted that except
              as otherwise  indicated (a) each of those  Accounts  Receivable is
              valid and  enforceable  without  performance by Debtor of any act;
              (b) each of those  account  balances are in fact owing,  (c) there
              are   no   setoffs,   recoupments,   credits,   contra   accounts,
              counterclaims   or  defenses   against   any  of  those   Accounts
              Receivable,  (d) as to any Accounts  Receivable  represented  by a
              note,  trade  acceptance,  draft  or  other  instrument  or by any
              chattel  paper or  document,  the same have been  endorsed  and/or
              delivered  by Debtor to Bank,  (e)  Debtor has not  received  with
              respect to any Account Receivable,  any notice of the death of the
              related account debtor,


                                       3



              nor of the  dissolution,  liquidation,  termination  of existence,
              insolvency,  business  failure,  appointment  of  a  receiver  for
              assignment  for the  benefit  of  creditors  by,  or  filing  of a
              petition in bankruptcy by or against,  the account debtor, and (f)
              as to  each  Account  Receivable,  the  account  debtor  is not an
              affiliate  of  Debtor,   the  United  States  of  America  or  any
              department,  agency or  instrumentality  of it,  or a  citizen  or
              resident of any jurisdiction outside of the United States.

       2.6    Debtor will keep the Collateral free at all times from any and all
              claims,  liens,  security  interests and  encumbrances  other than
              those in favor of Bank or Foxmayer and except leases  currently in
              place and for leased equipment in an amount not to exceed $50,000.
              Debtor will not,  without the prior written consent of Bank, sell,
              transfer or lease, or permit or suffer to be sold,  transferred or
              leased, any or all of the Collateral,  except for Inventory in the
              ordinary  course of its business and will not return any Inventory
              to its  supplier.  Bank  or its  agents  or  attorneys  may at all
              reasonable  times  inspect the  Collateral  and may enter upon all
              premises where the Collateral is kept or might be located.

       2.7    If Bank, acting in its sole discretion,  redelivers  Collateral to
              Debtor or Debtor's designee for the purpose of

              (a)    the ultimate sale or exchange thereof, or

              (b)    presentation,   collection,  renewal,  or  registration  of
                     transfer thereof, or

              (c)    loading,  unloading,   storing,  shipping,   transshipping,
                     manufacturing,  processing or otherwise  dealing  therewith
                     preliminary to sale or exchange,

              such  redelivery  shall be in trust  for the  benefit  of Bank and
              shall not constitute a release of Bank's security interest therein
              or in the proceeds or products thereof unless Bank specifically so
              agrees in writing. If Debtor requests any such redelivery,  Debtor
              will deliver with such request a duly executed financing statement
              in form and  substance  satisfactory  to  Bank.  Any  proceeds  of
              Collateral coming into Debtor's possession as a result of any such
              redelivery shall be held in trust for Bank and forthwith delivered
              to Bank for application on the Indebtedness.  Bank may (if, in its
              sole discretion, it elects to do so) deliver the Collateral or any
              part of the Collateral to Debtor,  and such delivery by Bank shall
              discharge  Bank from any and all liability or  responsibility  for
              such Collateral.


                                       4




       2.8    Debtor  acknowledges and agrees that the Bank has no obligation to
              acquire  or  perfect  any  lien  on or  security  interest  in any
              asset(s),  whether realty or personalty,  to secure payment of the
              Indebtedness,  and Debtor is not relying  upon assets in which the
              Bank has or may have a lien or  security  interest  for payment of
              the Indebtedness.

       2.9    Debtor will do all acts and things,  and will execute all writings
              requested by Bank to establish,  maintain and continue a perfected
              and first security  interest of Bank in the  Collateral,  and will
              pay on demand  all costs and  expenses  of  searches,  filing  and
              recording  deemed  necessary  by Bank to  establish,  determine or
              continue  the  validity  and  the  priority  of  Bank's   security
              interest.

       2.10   Debtor will pay promptly and within the time that they can be paid
              without  interest  or penalty all taxes,  assessments  and similar
              imposts  and  charges  which at any time are or may become a lien,
              charge,  or encumbrance upon any of the Collateral,  except to the
              extent  contested in good faith in a manner  satisfactory to Bank.
              If Debtor fails to pay any of these taxes,  assessments,  or other
              charges in the time provided  above,  Bank has the option (but not
              the obligation) to do so and Debtor agrees to repay all amounts so
              expended by Bank immediately  upon demand,  together with interest
              at the  highest  default  rate  which  could be charged by Bank to
              Debtor on any Indebtedness.

       2.11   If  any  of  the  Collateral   (or  any  records   concerning  the
              Collateral)  is  located  or kept by Debtor  on  leased  premises,
              Debtor  will:  (a)  provide a  complete  and  correct  copy of all
              applicable leases to Bank, (b) furnish or cause to be furnished to
              Bank  from   each   landlord   under   such   leases  a   lessor's
              acknowledgment  and  subordination  in form  satisfactory  to Bank
              authorizing,  on Default, Bank's entry on such premises to enforce
              its rights and remedies  under this  Agreement and (c) comply with
              all such  leases.  Debtor's  rights  under all such  leases  shall
              further be part of the  Collateral,  and  included in the security
              interest granted to Bank hereunder.

       2.12   Debtor shall neither make nor permit any modification,  compromise
              or  substitution  for any  Account  Receivable  without  the prior
              written consent of Bank.

       2.13   Debtor  agrees  to  reimburse  Bank upon  demand  for all fees and
              expenses   incurred   by  Bank  (a)  in  seeking  to  collect  the
              Indebtedness  or  any  part  of it  (through  formal  or  informal
              collection  actions,  workouts or  otherwise),  in  defending  the
              validity or priority of its security interest,  or in pursuing its
              rights and remedies under

                                           5




       this Agreement or under any other agreement between Bank and Debtor;  (b)
       in connection with any proceeding (including,  without limit, bankruptcy,
       insolvency,  administrative,  appellate,  or probate  proceedings  or any
       lawsuit) in which Bank at any time is involved as a result of any lending
       relationship or other financial  accommodation involving Bank and Debtor;
       or (c)  incurred by Bank during the  continuance  of an Event of Default,
       which fees and expenses relate to or would not have been incurred but for
       any lending relationship or other financial  accommodation involving Bank
       and Debtor.  The fees and expenses include,  without limit,  court costs,
       legal expenses,  reasonable  attorneys'  fees,  paralegal fees,  internal
       transfer  charges  for  in-house   attorneys  and  paralegals  and  other
       services, and audit expenses.

       2.14   Debtor  at all  times  shall  be in  strict  compliance  with  all
              applicable laws.

       2.15   Debtor is and shall be in strict compliance with all Environmental
              Laws.

       2.16   Debtor acknowledges and agrees that if any Guaranty is executed by
              the Debtor in connection  with or related to this  Agreement,  all
              waivers  contained in that Guaranty shall be and are  incorporated
              by reference into this Agreement.

3.     Collection of Proceeds.

       3.1    Debtor  agrees to collect  and  enforce  payment  of all  Accounts
              Receivable  until Bank shall direct  Debtor to the  contrary  and,
              from and after this direction, Debtor agrees to fully and promptly
              cooperate  and  assist  Bank (or any other  person  as Bank  shall
              designate)  in the  collection  and  enforcement  of all  Accounts
              Receivable.

       3.2    Debtor  irrevocably  authorizes Bank or any Bank employee or agent
              to endorse the name of Debtor upon any checks or other items which
              are  received  in payment  of any  Account  Receivable  or for any
              Inventory,  and to do any and all  things  necessary  in  order to
              reduce these items to money.

       3.3    Bank  shall have no duty as to the  collection  or  protection  of
              Collateral  or the proceeds of it, nor as to the  Preservation  of
              any  related  rights,  beyond  the use of  reasonable  care in the
              custody and  preservation of Collateral in the possession of Bank.
              Debtor  agrees  to take all steps  necessary  to  preserve  rights
              against  prior  Parties  with  respect  to  Debtor's  Property  in
              Possession of Bank.

                                        6





       3.4    For the  purpose  of  calculating  interest  on the  Indebtedness,
              Debtor  understands  that Bank  imposes a minimum one business day
              delay  in  crediting   payments   received  by  Bank  on  Accounts
              Receivable  against the  Indebtedness to allow time for collection
              and  Debtor  agrees  that Bank may,  at Bank's  option,  make such
              credits  only when  payments  are  actually  collected  by Bank in
              immediately  available  funds. Any credit of payment by Bank prior
              to receipt by Bank of immediately  available  funds is conditional
              upon Bank's receipt of those funds. For the purpose of calculating
              the principal  amount which Debtor may request to borrow from Bank
              under any borrowing  arrangements  with Bank,  Debtor  understands
              that Bank may, at Bank's option,  use a method different from that
              used for the purpose of calculating interest.

4.     Defaults, Enforcement and Application of Proceeds.

       4.1    Upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each an "Event
              of Default"), Debtor shall be in default under this Agreement:

              (a)    Any failure or neglect to comply with, or breach of, any of
                     the terms,  provisions,  warranties  or  covenants  of this
                     Agreement,  or any other  agreement or  commitment  between
                     Debtor  or the  Borrower  or any  or  all  of  them  or any
                     guarantor  of  any of the  Indebtedness  ("guarantor")  and
                     Bank; or

              (b)    Any failure to pay the  Indebtedness  within five days when
                     due, or such  portion of it as may be due, by  acceleration
                     or otherwise; or

              (c)    Any warranty, representation,  financial statement or other

                     against Debtor or the Borrower or any or all of them or any

                     of the  property of Debtor or the Borrower or any or all of

                     evidencing,  securing or relating to that indebtedness, and
                     such  failure   gives  rise  to  an   immediate   right  of

                     Collateral or the proceeds of any sale of it;

                            which case no accounting will be necessary), arising
                            from that use  (which  net  earnings  may be applied
                            against the  Indebtedness)  and charging against all

                            At any sale  pursuant to this Section  4.2,  whether
                            under  the  power of sale,  by  virtue  of  judicial
                            proceedings or otherwise,  it shall not be necessary
                            for Bank or a public  officer under order of a court
                            to have present physical or constructive  possession
                            of the Collateral to be sold. The recitals contained
                            in any  conveyances  and receipts  made and given by
                            Bank or the public  officer to any  purchaser at any
                            sale made pursuant to this Agreement  shall,  to the
                            extent  permitted by  applicable  law,  conclusively
                            establish  the truth  and  accuracy  of the  matters
                            stated (including,  without limit, as to the amounts
                            of   the   principal   of   and   interest   on  the
                            Indebtedness,  the accrual and  nonpayment of it and
                            advertisement  and  conduct  of the  sale);  and all
                            prerequisites  to the sale shall be presumed to have
                            been satisfied and  performed.  Upon any sale of any
                            of the Collateral, the receipt of the officer making
                            the sale under judicial proceedings or of Bank shall
                            be  sufficient  discharge to the  purchaser  for the
                            purchase  money,  and  the  purchaser  shall  not be
                            obligated  to see to the  application  of the money.
                            Any  sale  of  any  of  the  Collateral  under  this
                            Agreement  shall be a perpetual  bar against  Debtor
                            with respect to that Collateral.

       4.3    Debtor shall (upon the  occurrence of any Event of Default) at the
              request of Bank,  notify the  account  debtors or  obligors of the
              security  interest of Bank in any Accounts  Receivable  and direct
              payment of it to Bank.  Bank may,  itself,  upon the occurrence of
              any Event of Default so notify  and direct any  account  debtor or
              obligor  and may take  control of any  proceeds to which it may be
              entitled under this Agreement.

       4.4    The  proceeds  of any  sale or  other  disposition  of  Collateral
              authorized by this  Agreement  shall be applied by Bank first upon
              all expenses  authorized  by the Uniform  Commercial  Code and all
              reasonable  attorney fees and legal expenses incurred by Bank; the
              balance of the proceeds of the sale or other  disposition shall be
              applied in the  payment of the  Indebtedness,  first to  interest,
              then to principal, then to remaining Indebtedness and the surplus,
              if any, shall be paid over to Debtor or to such other person(s) as
              may be entitled to it under  applicable  law.  Debtor shall remain
              liable for any deficiency,  which it shall pay to Bank immediately
              upon demand.

       4.5    Nothing in this Agreement is intended, nor shall it be to preclude
              Bank  from  pursuing  any  other  remedy  provided  by law for the
              collection of any or all the  Indebtedness  or for the recovery of
              any other sum

                                       10



              to which  Bank may be or become  entitled  for the  breach of this
              Agreement  by Debtor.  Nothing in this  Agreement  shall reduce or
              release  in any way  any  rights  or  security  interests  of Bank
              contained in any existing  agreement  between Debtor and Bank, nor
              shall  anything  in  this  Agreement   modify  the  terms  of  any
              Indebtedness owing to Bank on a demand basis.

       4.6    No waiver of  default  or  consent  to any act by Debtor  shall be
              effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized officer of
              Bank. No waiver of any default or  forbearance on the part of Bank
              in enforcing any of its rights under this Agreement  shall operate
              as a waiver  of any  other  default  or of the same  default  on a
              future occasion or of any rights.

       4.7    Debtor irrevocably  appoints Bank or any employee or agent of Bank
              (which  appointment  is  coupled  with an  interest)  the true and
              lawful attorney of Debtor (with full power of substitution) in the
              name, place and stead of, and at the expense of, Debtor:

              (a)    to  demand,   receive,   sue  for  and  give   receipts  or
                     acquittance  for any  moneys  due or to  become  due on any
                     Account Receivable and to endorse any item representing any
                     payment on or proceeds of the Collateral;

              (b)    with  respect  to any  Collateral,  to assent to any or all
                     extensions or  postponements  of the time of its payment or
                     any  other   indulgence  in  connection  with  it,  to  the
                     substitution,  exchange,  or release of Collateral,  to the
                     addition or release of any party  primarily or  secondarily
                     liable, to the acceptance of partial payments on it and the
                     settlement, compromise or adjustment of it, all in a manner
                     and at times as Bank shall deem advisable;

              (c)    to make all  necessary  transfers of all or any part of the
                     Collateral  in  connection  with any  sale,  lease or other
                     disposition made pursuant to this Agreement;

              (d)    to  adjust  and   compromise  any  insurance  loss  on  the
                     Inventory and to endorse checks or drafts payable to Debtor
                     in connection with the insurance;

              (e)    to  execute  and  deliver  for  value  all   necessary   or
                     appropriate   bills  of   sale,   assignments   and   other
                     instruments  in  connection  with any sale,  lease or other
                     disposition of the Collateral. Debtor ratifies and confirms
                     all  that  its  said  attorney  (or any  substitute)  shall
                     lawfully do under this Agree-



                                       11




                     ment. Nevertheless,  if requested by Bank or a purchaser or
                     lessee,  Debtor shall ratify and confirm any sale, lease or
                     other  disposition  by executing and  delivering to Bank or
                     the   purchaser   or  lessee  all  proper  bills  of  sale,
                     assignments,  releases, leases and other instruments as may
                     be designated in any request; and

              (f)    to execute  and file in the name of and on behalf of Debtor
                     all financing  statements or other filings deemed necessary
                     or desirable  by Bank to evidence,  perfect or continue the
                     security interests granted in this Agreement.

       4.8    Upon the  occurrence  of an Event of Default,  Debtor also agrees,
              upon  request of Bank,  to  assemble  the  Collateral  and make it
              available  to Bank  at any  place  designated  by  Bank  which  is
              reasonably convenient to Bank and Debtor.


5.     Miscellaneous.

       5.1    This Agreement  shall in all respects be governed by and construed
              in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio.  Notwithstanding
              the  foregoing,  the  parties  acknowledge  that the  Indebtedness
              secured  hereby  was  approved  and made and the  proceeds  of the
              Indebtedness were disbursed in the State of Michigan.

       5.2    This  Agreement  shall  be  terminated  only  by the  filing  of a
              termination statement in accordance with the applicable provisions
              of the Uniform  Commercial Code, but the obligations  contained in
              Section 2.15 of this Agreement  shall survive  termination.  Until
              terminated,  the security interest created by this Agreement shall
              continue  in  full  force  and  effect  and  shall  secure  and be
              applicable  to all  advances  now or later made by Bank to Debtor,
              whether or not Debtor is indebted to Bank immediately prior to the
              time of any advance, and to all other Indebtedness.

       5.3    Notwithstanding  any prior revocation,  termination,  surrender or
              discharge of this Agreement,  the  effectiveness of this Agreement
              shall automatically continue or be reinstated, as the case may be,
              in the event that (a) any payment  received or credit given by the
              Bank in respect of the  Indebtedness  is  returned,  disgorged  or
              rescinded  as  a  preference,   impermissible  setoff,  fraudulent
              conveyance,  diversion  of trust  funds,  or  otherwise  under any
              applicable state or federal law,  including,  without  limitation,
              laws  pertaining to bankruptcy or  insolvency,  in which case this
              Agreement shall be enforceable  against Debtor as if the returned,
              disgorged or rescinded  payment or credit had not been received or
              given, whether or not

              the Bank  relied  upon  this  payment  or credit  or  changed  its
              position as a consequence  of it; or (b) any liability is imposed,
              or sought to be  imposed,  against  the Bank  relating to Debtor's
              failure to comply with all  Environmental  Laws,  (excluding  only
              conditions  which arise after any  acquisition  by the Bank of any
              such  Property,   by  foreclosure,   in  lieu  of  foreclosure  or
              otherwise,  to the extent due to the  wrongful  act or omission of
              the Bank),  in which case this  Agreement  shall be enforceable to
              the extent of all liability, costs and expenses (including without
              limit reasonable attorney fees) incurred by the Bank as the direct
              or  indirect  result  of  any  such  failure.   In  the  event  of
              continuation or reinstatement  of this Agreement,  Debtor agree(s)
              upon  demand by the Bank to execute  and deliver to the Bank those
              documents  which the Bank  determines  are  appropriate to further
              evidence (in the public records or otherwise) this continuation or
              reinstatement,  although  the failure of Debtor to do so shall not
              affect in any way the  reinstatement  or  continuation.  If Debtor
              does  not  execute  and  deliver  to the  Bank  upon  demand  such
              documents, the Bank and each Bank officer is irrevocably appointed
              (which  appointment  is  coupled  with an  interest)  the true and
              lawful  attorney of Debtor  (with full power of  substitution)  to
              execute and deliver  such  documents  in the name and on behalf of
              Debtor.

       5.4    This  Agreement and all the rights and remedies of Bank under this
              Agreement  shall  inure to the  benefit of Bank's  successors  and
              assigns and to any other  holder who derives from Bank title to or
              an  interest in the  Indebtedness  or any portion of it, and shall
              bind Debtor and the heirs, legal  representatives,  successors and
              assigns  of  Debtor.

       5.5    It there is more than one Debtor, all undertakings, warranties and
              covenants  made by Debtor and all rights,  powers and  authorities

              Bank  to  Debtor  can  be set  off  and  applied  by  Bank  of any
              Indebtedness  at any time(s)  either  before or after  maturity or

              prior  notice  to  Debtor of any  action  to be taken  under  this
              Agreement,  Debtor  agrees  that a written  notice  given to it at
              least  five days  before  the date of the act shall be  reasonable
              notice of the act and,  specifically,

              or of the  time  after  which  any  private  sale,  lease or other
              disposition  is to be made,  unless a  shorter  notice  period  is
              reasonable under the circumstances. A notice shall be deemed to be
              given under this Agreement when delivered to Debtor or when placed
              in an envelope  addressed  to Debtor and  deposited,  with postage
              prepaid,  in a  post  office  or  official  depository  under  the
              exclusive  care and custody of the United States  Postal  Service.

              further exercise of the rights and powers under this Agreement.

       5.11   The  unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not
              affect the enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement.

              with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

       5.14   To the extent that any of the Indebtedness is payable upon demand,
              nothing  contained  in this  Agreement  shall modify the terms and
              conditions of that  Indebtedness  nor shall anything  contained in
              this Agreement prevent Bank from making demand, without notice and
              with or without  reason,  for  immediate  payment of any or all of
              that  Indebtedness  at any  time(s),  whether  or not an  Event of
