Gentlemen:

During the course of our meeting on the 18th of this month, you explained to us,
with Mr. Benacin, your expectations regarding bank support.

We understand that you are looking for a line of 10 MF available in overdraft or
spot at T4M/PIBOR + 0.625% and a trade discount line of 5 MF at PIBOR + 0.60%.

As agreed, and before establishing terms and conditions with you, I propose that
we speak again sometime during the week of January 12, so that we may know if
our proposal is completely agreeable to you.

We would like to be able to assist you in the success of your project, as we
respect the values that motivate your group: openness, adaptability and
pragmatism.

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions.

                                       Very truly yours,



                                       /s/ L. Pages           /s/ T. Clamon
