                               SECURITY AGREEMENT

            THIS SECURITY  AGREEMENT (the  "AGREEMENT") is made and entered into
as of July 3, 2003, by and among [                                             ]
(together,  the  "SECURED  PARTY")  and  Datatec  Systems,  Inc.  ("DSI"  or the
"DEBTOR").

                                   WITNESSETH:

            WHEREAS,  pursuant to the  provisions of a Note  Purchase  Agreement
dated  as of July 3,  2003,  between  the  Debtor  and the  Secured  Party  (the
"Purchase  Agreement") and those certain  Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes
dated as of July 3, 2003,  issued by DSI to the  Secured  Party  pursuant to the
Purchase  Agreement (the "Notes"),  the Secured Party has agreed to lend to DSI,
and DSI has agreed to borrow from the Secured  Party  $4,900,000  under  certain
terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement and the Notes;

            WHEREAS,  pursuant to the  provisions of the Purchase  Agreement and
the Notes, and as a condition to Secured Party's  obligation to lend thereunder,
the Debtor has also agreed to provide certain  collateral to secure the Debtor's
Obligations  (as defined  below) to the Secured  Party  pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement and the Notes.

            NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of  the  foregoing  and  of the
covenants  set forth  herein,  the Secured  Party and the Debtor hereby agree as
follows:

                                   ARTICLE I
                                   COLLATERAL

            Section  1.1 GRANT AND  DESCRIPTION.  As security  for the  Debtor's
obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the Notes, the Debtor hereby grants
to the Secured Party a continuing first priority security interest in all of the
Debtor's  right,  title and  interest  in, to and under all of the  property  of
Debtor  listed and  described in EXHIBIT A attached  hereto (the  "Collateral").
Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  such  grant of a security  interest  shall not
extend to, and the term  "Collateral"  shall not include:  (a) any rights in any
general intangibles  representing rights under agreements between the Debtor and
any other party  (other than  agreements  between a Debtor and a  subsidiary  or
parent entity of such Debtor),  which are now or hereafter held by the Debtor as
lessee,  licensee  or  otherwise,  only to the  extent  that  (i)  such  general
intangibles are not assignable or capable of being encumbered as a matter of law
or under the terms of the agreement applicable thereto (but solely to the extent
that any such restriction  shall be enforceable  under applicable law),  without
the  consent  of the other  party  thereto  and (ii) such  consent  has not been
obtained,  and (b) any capital stock or other ownership interests held by Debtor
of any foreign subsidiary to the extent that the pledge of such capital stock or
other ownership  interests would trigger the "deemed  dividend" rules of Section
900 et. seq. of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In furtherance of
the foregoing, the Debtor shall promptly take all actions necessary or otherwise
reasonably  requested  by the  Secured  Party to  perfect  the  Secured  Party's
security  interest in the capital stock and other ownership  interests of all of
the Debtor's  subsidiaries  (including,  without  limitation,  pledging all such
capital stock and ownership  interests to the Secured Party pursuant to a pledge
agreement that is in form and substance  satisfactory to the Secured Party,  and
delivering  the  certificates  representing  such  capital  stock and  ownership
interests  to the Secured  Party);  provided,  however,  the Debtor shall not be
obligated  to pledge the  capital  stock or other  ownership  interests  held by
Debtor of any foreign  subsidiary  to the extent that the pledge of such capital
stock or other ownership  interests would trigger the "deemed dividend" rules of
Section 900 et. seq. of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

                                       2

            Section 1.2 FINANCING  STATEMENTS;  FURTHER  ASSURANCES.  The Debtor
hereby  authorizes  the Secured  Party to file,  transmit,  or  communicate,  as
applicable,  UCC  financing  statements  and  amendments in order to perfect the
Secured Party's first priority security  interest in the Collateral  without the
Debtor's signature to the extent permitted by applicable law, including, but not
limited to,  describing the  Collateral as "all personal  property of debtor" or
"all  assets  of  debtor"  or  words  of  similar  effect.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  at any time upon the request of the Secured Party,  the Debtor shall
promptly execute (or cause to be executed) and deliver to the Secured Party, any
and  all  financing  statements,   original  financing  statements  in  lieu  of
continuation  statements,   fixture  filings,   security  agreements,   pledges,
assignments, endorsements or certificates of title, and all other instruments or
documents (the "Additional  Documents") upon which the Debtor's signature may be
required and that the Secured Party may request in its  discretion,  in form and
substance satisfactory to the Secured Party, and/or perform any acts, to perfect
and continue  perfected or better perfect the Secured Party's security  interest
in the Collateral  (whether now owned or hereafter arising or acquired),  and in
order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated hereby, under the
Purchase  Agreement  and/or any other  agreement  or  document  related  thereto
(including,  without limitation, any amendment to this Agreement or the Purchase
Agreement that becomes  necessary,  in the sole discretion of the Secured Party,
as a result of any  amendment to the UCC).  To the maximum  extent  permitted by
applicable  law, the Debtor hereby  authorizes  the Secured Party to execute any
such Additional  Documents in the Debtor's name and authorizes the Secured Party
to file such executed Additional Documents in any appropriate filing office. The
Debtor also hereby  ratifies  its  authorization  for the Secured  Party to have
filed in any jurisdiction any financing  statements or amendments  thereto filed
prior to the date  hereof.  The Debtor  shall not  terminate,  amend or file any
correction  statement with respect to any UCC financing statement filed pursuant
to this Agreement without the Secured Party's prior written consent.  The Debtor
appoints  the Secured  Party as the Debtor's  attorney-in-fact,  with a power of
attorney to execute on behalf of the Debtor such Additional  Documents and other
similar instruments as the Secured Party may from time to time deem necessary or
desirable to protect or perfect the security  interest in the  Collateral.  Such
power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

                                   ARTICLE II
                               OBLIGATIONS SECURED

            Section 2.1  OBLIGATIONS  SECURED.  The  Collateral and the power of
collection  pertaining thereto shall secure the prompt and complete  performance
and  repayment  of any and all  loans,  advances  or other  obligations  made by
Secured Party to Debtor  pursuant to this Agreement,  the Purchase  Agreement or
the Notes (or  pursuant to any  amendments  hereto or  thereto)  prior to, on or
after the date hereof,  and specifically the unpaid principal amount outstanding
at any time under the Notes,  plus all accrued and unpaid  interest  thereunder,
together with all fees, expenses,  commissions,  charges,  penalties,  and other
amounts owing or chargeable by Debtor under the Purchase  Agreement or the Notes
whether any of the foregoing are direct or indirect, joint or several,  absolute
or  contingent,  due or to become due,  now existing or  hereafter  arising,  no
matter how or when arising and whether under any present or future  agreement or
instrument or otherwise, whether or not evidenced by a writing (collectively the
"Obligations").

                                  ARTICLE III

            (e)  Take or cause to be taken  such  acts and  actions  as shall be
necessary or appropriate to assure that the Secured Party's security interest in

            (f) Except as  otherwise  expressly  provided  herein,  refrain from

            Section 3.3 LOCKBOX AND SPECIAL ACCOUNTS. Debtor hereby acknowledges
and agrees that its subsidiary Datetec Industries, Inc. ("DI") has established a
lockbox (the "Lockbox") and a special  account (the "Special  Account") with its
bank (the  bank(s)  used by Debtor or any of its  subsidiaries  are  hereinafter
collectively  referred to as the "Bank" or "Banks",  as the context requires) to
secure  the  obligations  of DI  relating  to or  arising  from the IBM Debt (as
defined in the Purchase Agreement). Debtor shall not, and shall cause DI not to,
terminate the Lockbox or Special  Account  without the prior written  consent of
Secured Party.  Debtor hereby further  acknowledges  and agrees that, other than
the Lockbox and Special  Account with IBM Lender,  none of Debtor nor any of its
subsidiaries has any other similar accounts with the Bank or any other financial
institution or other party,  Upon  satisfaction of the IBM Debt and until all of
the Obligations have been satisfied, Debtor shall:

            (a) deliver, or cause to be delivered, upon Secured Party's request,
a certificate,  certified by the Chief Financial  Officer of the Debtor or DI as
being true and  correct,  listing the Lockbox  and  Special  Account  then being

contact  information  of the Bank where each the Lockbox and Special  Account is
being maintained;

            (b)  take  all  actions  necessary  to  ensure  that  the  agreement
governing the terms and conditions of the Lockbox and Special Account is in form
and substance satisfactory to Secured Party;

                                       4

            (c) take all  actions  necessary  to ensure  that there is a blocked
account  agreement  with the Bank for the  benefit of Secured  Party in form and
substance  satisfactory to Secured Party pursuant to which,  among other things,
the Bank shall agree that,  upon notice from Secured Party,  disbursements  from
the Special Account shall be made only as Secured Party shall direct;

            (d) (i)  instruct  all  Account  (as  defined  in  Exhibit A hereto)
debtors to remit  payments  directly  to the  Lockbox  (such  instruction  to be
printed in conspicuous type on all invoices),  (ii) instruct the Bank to deposit
all remittances to the Lockbox into the Special  Account,  and (iii) not deposit
or permit any  deposits of funds other than  remittances  paid in respect of the
Accounts into the Special  Account or permit any  commingling of funds with such
remittances in the Lockbox or Special Account;

            (e) without limiting the Debtor's foregoing obligations,  if, at any
time, Debtor receives a remittance directly from an Account debtor, make entries
on its books  and  records  in a manner  that  shall  reasonably  identify  such
remittances  and  shall  keep a  separate  account  on its  record  books of all
remittances so received and deposit the same into the Special Account; and

            (f) pay for all costs and  expenses of  Debtor's  bank in respect to
collection  of checks and other items of payment,  all fees  relating to the use
and maintenance of the Lockbox and Special Account.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, upon satisfaction of the IBM Debt, the Debtor
(or any of its  subsidiaries)  may,  with the prior  written  consent of Secured
Party (such consent not to be  unreasonably  withheld),  obtain new  asset-based
financing,  and in connection with such permitted financing,  the Debtor or such
subsidiaries,  as the case may be, shall be  permitted  to  establish  and grant
control  over  lockboxes  and  special  accounts  to the lender  providing  such
permitted  financing to the extent (and only to the extent)  necessary to obtain
and maintain such permitted financing.

            Section 3.4 CONTROL OF DEPOSIT  ACCOUNTS.  Upon the  satisfaction of
the IBM Debt and until all of the Obligations have been satisfied, promptly upon
Secured Party's  request,  Debtor shall,  and shall cause its  subsidiaries  to,
enter into one or more control agreements substantially in the form of Exhibit B
hereto (each, a "Control  Agreement")  with the Banks at which Debtor and/or its
subsidiaries  maintain  Deposit  Accounts  (as  defined  in Exhibit A hereto) to
secure  Debtor's  Obligations.  In furtherance  of the foregoing,  Debtor shall,
promptly upon Secured Party's request, take all actions necessary to ensure that
the Control Agreement governing the terms and conditions of each Deposit Account
is in form and substance  satisfactory to Secured Party pursuant to which, among
other  things,  such Bank shall agree that,  upon  notice  from  Secured  Party,
disbursements  from such  Deposit  Account  shall be made only as Secured  Party
shall direct.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  if, upon satisfaction of the IBM
Debt, the Debtor (or any of its subsidiaries)  obtains new asset-based financing
as may be  permitted  in  accordance  with  SECTION  3.4,  the  Debtor  or  such
subsidiaries,  as the case may be, shall be permitted to grant  control over the
Deposit  Accounts to the lender  providing  such  asset-based  financing  to the
extent  (and only to the  extent)  necessary  to obtain  and  maintain  such new
asset-based financing.

            Section 3.5 NO NEW ACCOUNTS.  Debtor hereby  acknowledges and agrees
that,  except as expressly  provided in SECTIONS 3.3 and 3.4,  Debtor shall not,
and shall cause its subsidiaries not to, establish or grant control over any new
or existing lockboxes,  special accounts, Deposit Accounts, or any other account
to any lender or other party other than Secured Party.

                                EVENTS OF DEFAULT

            Section 4.1 DEFINED.  The occurrence of any of the following  events
shall  constitute  an event of  default  under  this  Agreement  (an  "EVENT  OF
DEFAULT"):

          (i) The failure of the Debtor to perform or comply with any act,  duty
     or obligation required to be performed under this Agreement if such failure
     is not remedied within ten (10) days following  receipt by Debtor of notice
     of such failure from Secured Party;

          (ii) If any of the  representations  or  warranties  of the Debtor set
     forth in this Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect when made, or if
     they  become  incorrect,  if not cured  within ten (10) days of notice from
     Secured Party of such event;

          (iii) If any  material  portion of the  Collateral  shall be  damaged,
     destroyed or otherwise  lost and such  damage,  destruction  or loss is not
     covered by insurance; or

          (iv) If an Event  of  Default  as  defined  in the  Notes  shall  have
     occurred.

            Section 4.2 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT. If an Event of Default
shall have  occurred  hereunder,  the  Secured  Party may,  at its sole  option,
without notice or demand,  declare the  Obligations  to be  immediately  due and
payable.  As to any  Collateral,  the  Secured  Party  shall have the rights and
remedies of any secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect,
at the time of the default, in New York ("UCC"),  such rights to be exercised in
such  order or manner as  Secured  Party may  determine  in its sole  discretion
against any one or more of the entities  constituting  Debtor. If for any reason
the Secured  Party  should be required by law or otherwise to give notice to the
Debtor of the sale of any Collateral,  the Debtor agrees that any written notice
sent by overnight  delivery  service not less than five (5) calendar days before
the sale or mailed postage prepaid to the Debtor's address listed below not less
than ten (10)  calendar  days  before  the sale shall be deemed  reasonable  and

     directly to the Secured Party;

          (b) Turn over to the Secured Party all documents  evidencing any right
     to collection of any sums due the Debtor arising from or in connection with

to notify any  obligors  of the Debtor to make  payments  of any and all amounts
directly to the  Secured  Party,  and the  Secured  Party shall have the further
right to notify the U.S.  postal  authorities to change the address for delivery
of mail of the  Debtor to an  address  designated  by the  Secured  Party and to
receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to the Debtor.

          liquidation,  reorganization,  reconstruction  and other  similar laws
          affecting  enforcement of creditors' rights generally  (insofar as any
          such law relates to the bankruptcy, insolvency or similar event of the
          Debtor);

          (d) That its true and correct  company  name,  any trade name(s) under

                                       7

than with  respect to  Permitted  Liens and except  where the Secured  Party has
failed to file necessary continuation statements), perfected with respect to all
Collateral  for which  the  filing of the UCC  financing  statements  is a valid
method of perfection,  vested in the Secured Party,  in and upon the Collateral,
free of any liens except for Permitted Liens.

                                  ARTICLE VII

its true  attorney-in-fact  to perform any of the  following  powers,  which are
irrevocable until termination of this Agreement and may be exercised,  from time

Secured Party,  nor any failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising,  on the
part of Secured Party, any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement,  the

waiver.  No single or partial  exercise of any right,  power, or privilege under

            Section 9.6 RIGHTS ARE CUMULATIVE. All of Secured Party's rights and

matters in this Agreement,  including,  without  limitation,  in connection with
Secured  Party's  defense of any action brought by a third party against Secured
Party  relating to this  Agreement or any of the  Collateral,  but otherwise not
arising from Secured Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

            Section 9.8  SEVERABILITY.  The  provisions  of this  Agreement  are
severable.  If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or  unenforceable
in  whole  or  in  part  in  any   jurisdiction,   then   such   invalidity   or
unenforceability  shall affect only such  provision,  or part  thereof,  in such
jurisdiction,  and shall not in any manner affect such provision or part thereof
in any other  jurisdiction,  or any other  provision  of this  Agreement  in any
jurisdiction.

            Section 9.9 AMENDMENTS;  ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement is subject
to modification only by a writing signed by the parties.  To the extent that any
provision  of this  Agreement  conflicts  with  any  provision  of the  Purchase
Agreement or the Notes,  the provision  giving  Secured Party greater  rights or
remedies shall govern, it being understood that the purpose of this Agreement is
to add to, and not detract from,  the rights  granted to Secured Party under the

                                       10

Purchase Agreement and the Notes. This Agreement,  the Purchase  Agreement,  the
Notes and the documents  relating  thereto  comprise the entire agreement of the
parties with respect to the matters addressed in this Agreement.

            Section 9.10 RELEASE. No transfer or renewal, extension,  assignment
or termination  of this Agreement or of any instrument or document  executed and
delivered  by the  Debtor  or  any  other  obligor  to the  Secured  Party,  nor
additional  advances made by the Secured Party to the Debtor,  nor the taking of
further  security,  nor the retaking or  re-delivery  of the  Collateral  to the
Debtor by the Secured Party nor any other act of the Secured Party shall release
the Debtor  from any  Obligation,  except a release  or  discharge  executed  in
writing by the  Secured  Party  with  respect  to such  Obligation  or upon full
payment and  satisfaction  of all  Obligations  and termination of the Notes. At
such time as Debtor  shall  completely  satisfy all of the  Obligations  and the
Notes are no longer  outstanding,  Secured  Party  shall  execute and deliver to
Debtor all assignments and other  instruments as may be reasonably  necessary or
proper to terminate Secured Party's security interest in the Collateral, subject
to any  disposition of the Collateral  which may have been made by Secured Party
pursuant to this Agreement.  For the purpose of this Agreement,  the Obligations
shall be deemed to continue  if Debtor  enters  into any  bankruptcy  or similar
proceeding  at a time when any amount paid to Secured  Party could be ordered to
be repaid as a preference or pursuant to a similar  theory,  and shall  continue
until it is finally determined that no such repayment can be ordered.

            Section 9.11 SUCCESSORS.  The benefits and burdens of this Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective  successors and
permitted  assigns of the parties;  provided that Debtor may not transfer any of
the  Collateral or any rights  hereunder,  without the prior written  consent of
Secured Party, except as specifically permitted hereby.

            Section  9.12  GOVERNING  LAW.  THE  VALIDITY,   INTERPRETATION  AND
ENFORCEMENT  OF THIS  AGREEMENT AND ANY DISPUTE  ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS AGREEMENT,  WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT,  TORT,  EQUITY OR OTHERWISE,
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE  INTERNAL  LAWS AND  DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS  MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED  ENTIRELY  WITHIN THE STATE OF
NEW YORK. ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN THE DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY, WHETHER SOUNDING IN
CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE RESOLVED ONLY BY STATE AND FEDERAL
COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK CITY AND THE COURTS TO WHICH AN APPEAL  THEREFROM MAY
BE TAKEN;  PROVIDED,  HOWEVER,  THAT SECURED PARTY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT,  TO THE
EXTENT  PERMITTED  BY  APPLICABLE  LAW,  TO  PROCEED  AGAINST  THE DEBTOR OR ITS
PROPERTY IN ANY LOCATION  REASONABLY  SELECTED BY SECURED PARTY IN GOOD FAITH TO
ENABLE  SECURED PARTY TO REALIZE ON SUCH  PROPERTY,  OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR
OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF SECURED PARTY.  THE DEBTOR AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT
ASSERT ANY PERMISSIVE  COUNTERCLAIMS,  SETOFFS OR CROSS-CLAIMS IN ANY PROCEEDING
BROUGHT BY SECURED  PARTY.  THE DEBTOR WAIVES ANY OBJECTION  THAT IT MAY HAVE TO
THE LOCATION OF THE COURT IN WHICH  SECURED  PARTY HAS  COMMENCED A  PROCEEDING,
INCLUDING,  WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON
FORUM NON CONVENIENS.

            Section 9.13 WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. SECURED PARTY AND DEBTOR
EACH HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR  PROCEEDING  BASED
UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO: (I) THIS AGREEMENT; OR (II) ANY
OTHER  PRESENT OR FUTURE  INSTRUMENT  OR  AGREEMENT  BETWEEN  SECURED  PARTY AND
DEBTOR;  OR (III) ANY CONDUCT,  ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF SECURED  PARTY OR DEBTOR OR

ANY OF THEIR  DIRECTORS,  OFFICERS,  EMPLOYEES,  AGENTS,  ATTORNEYS OR ANY OTHER
PERSONS AFFILIATED WITH SECURED PARTY OR DEBTOR; IN EACH OF THE FOREGOING CASES,
WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE.

otherwise  defined  shall have the meaning set forth in the Purchase  Agreement,

security  agreement  or  lease,  and is of a type  that in  ordinary  course  of
business  is  transferred   by  delivery  with  any  necessary   endorsement  or

shall direct the  Depository  with respect to the selection of  investments,  if
any, to be made for the Deposit Account.

            (b) STATEMENTS AND CONFIRMATIONS.  The Depository will promptly send

            Section 5.  OTHER AGREEMENTS; DEPOSITORY'S FEES.

            (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 6 hereof, the Debtor and
the  Depository  agree not to enter  into any  agreement  with any other  person
(except for the Secured  Party)  relating to any of the  Collateral  pursuant to
which such person  would be  identified  in the records of the  Depository  as a
person  having  an  interest  or claim  against  or with  respect  to any of the
Collateral.

            (b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 6 hereof, the Depository

indirectly, to the Debtor.

            (c) All  charges,  fees and expenses of the  Depository  incurred in
connection with the performance of its duties  hereunder and the maintenance and
operation of the Deposit Account shall be for the account of the Debtor, and the
Secured Party shall not be responsible or liable therefor.

            Section 6.  SUBORDINATION OF LIEN; WAIVER OF SET-OFF.  To the extent
that the  Depository  has or may have in the future any security  interest in or
lien  on  any of the  Collateral,  the  Depository  subordinates  such  security
interest and lien to the security interest of the Secured Party, except that the
Depository  may retain its lien on the Collateral to secure (a) advances made by
the Depository in connection with the advance posting of any dividends, interest
and other  distributions,  the  crediting  of any checks  that are  subsequently
returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient  funds and other advances
made by the Debtor as part of its cash management services,  all in the ordinary
course of  business,  and (b) normal  fees for the  Deposit  Account.  Except as
provided in the preceding  sentence,  the Depository  waives any lien,  security
interest, right of set-off or deduction or banker's lien which it may have in or
on the Collateral.

            Section 7.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION.

                                      -3-

            (a) The  Depository  shall  not be  liable  for any  loss or  injury
resulting from any action or inaction or the  performance or lack of performance
of its duties  hereunder in the absence of negligence  or willful  misconduct on
its  part.  In no event  shall  the  Depository  be  liable  for (i)  acting  in
accordance with instructions  that it reasonably  believes to be from the Debtor
or, upon  delivery of a Notice of Exclusive  Control,  the Secured  Party,  (ii)
special,  consequential or punitive  damages,  (iii) losses due to forces beyond
the control of the Depository,  including,  without  limitation,  strikes,  work
stoppages,  acts  of war or  terrorism,  insurrection,  revolution,  nuclear  or
natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions,  loss or malfunctions of
utilities,  communications or computer (software and hardware) services, or (iv)
the acts of omissions of its agents so long as the  selection of such agents was
not negligent or an act of willful misconduct.

            (b) The Debtor  hereby  agrees to  indemnify  and hold  harmless the
Depository  against  any  claims,  liabilities,  expenses  or  losses in any way
arising out of or related to this  Agreement  (including  reasonable  attorneys'
fees and  disbursements),  except to the extent  that the  claims,  liabilities,
expenses or losses are caused by the  negligence  or willful  misconduct  of the
Depository.  The  indemnity  provision of this  paragraph  (b) shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.

            Section 8. TERMINATION.  This Agreement shall remain in effect until
the earlier of (a) receipt by the  Depository of written notice from the Secured
Party  in  substantially  the  form  of the  Exhibit  B  hereto  (a  "NOTICE  OF

Secured  Party by  crediting  such  Collateral  to an account in the name of the
Secured Party, or as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Secured Party and the
Depository. The rights and powers granted to the Secured Party in this Agreement
are powers  coupled with an interest and will not be affected by the  insolvency
or bankruptcy of the Debtor nor by the lapse of time.
