relating to the Collateral or the Collateral Document, which shall be governed
by the provisions of this Agreement.

conduct its business as now conducted and as presently contemplated.

          (2) The execution, delivery and performance by such Secured Party of
this Agreement has been authorized by all necessary proceedings (corporate or
otherwise) and does not and will not contravene any provision of law, its
charter or by-laws or any amendment thereof, or of any indenture, agreement,
instrument or undertaking binding upon such Secured Party.

          (3) The execution, delivery and performance by such Secured Party of
this Agreement will result in a valid and legally binding obligation of such
Secured Party enforceable in accordance with its terms.

     (b)  The Collateral Agent hereby represents and warrants as of the date
hereof that:

          (1) The Collateral Agent is a banking corporation validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of New York.

          (2) The Collateral Agent has full power, authority and legal right
under the applicable laws pertaining to its banking powers to execute, deliver,
and perform this Agreement and has taken all necessary action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement.

          (3) Execution, delivery and performance by the Collateral Agent of
this Agreement will not contravene any law, rule or regulation of the United
States or any United States governmental authority or agency regulating the
Collateral Agent's banking activities or any judgment or order applicable to or
binding on the Collateral Agent and will not contravene or result in any breach
of, or constitute a default under, the Collateral Agent's constitutive documents
or the provision of any indenture, mortgage, contract or other agreement to
which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound.

          (4) Execution, delivery and performance by the Collateral Agent of
this Agreement will not require the authorization, consent, or approval of, the
giving of notice to, the filing or registration with, or the taking of any other
action in respect of, any United States governmental authority or agency
regulating the banking activities of the Collateral Agent.

          (5) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the
Collateral Agent and constitutes the legal, valid, and binding agreement of the
Collateral Agent, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance and similar laws affecting
creditors' rights generally, and general principles of equity (regardless of
whether the application of such principles is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law).

     Section 3.3.  Cooperation; Accountings. Each of the parties hereto will,
upon the reasonable request of another party, from time to time execute and
deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such further instruments, and do
and cause to be done such further acts as may be necessary or proper to carry
out more effectively the provisions of this Agreement. The Secured Parties agree
to provide to each other and the Collateral Agent, upon reasonable request, a
statement of (i) all payments received in respect of Secured Obligations and
(ii) all Secured Obligations owing under the Secured Agreements. In addition,
the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the information
contained in any note register maintained by the Company or Holdings pursuant to
the requirements of any Secured Agreement.

     Section 3.4.  Termination of any Secured Agreement. (a) Upon (i) the final
payment in full of all Secured Obligations owing to any Secured Party, or, in
the case of the Secured Obligations owing to the New Trustee, satisfaction of
the condition set forth in Section 3.4(b) and (ii) the termination of any
further commitments, if any, of such Secured Party to lend under any Secured
Agreement, such Secured Party shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof
and such Secured Party shall immediately cease to be a party to this Agreement;
provided, however, if all or any part of any payments to such Secured Party (or
any Holders on behalf of whom such Secured Party is acting) are invalidated or
set aside or required to be paid or repaid to any Person in any Bankruptcy
Proceeding or otherwise (including, without limitation, any payment required to
be made by such Secured Party to one or more of the other Secured Parties
pursuant to Section 6.12), then this Agreement shall be renewed as of such date
and shall thereafter continue in full force and effect to the extent of the
Secured Obligations so invalidated, set aside, paid or repaid. Notwithstanding
the termination of any Secured Party as a party to this Agreement pursuant to
this Section 3.4, this Agreement shall continue to be in full force and effect
with respect to all remaining Secured Parties that have not ceased to be parties
to this Agreement.

     (b)  For the purpose of Section 3.4(a)(i), the final payment in full of all
Secured Obligations owing to the New Trustee shall be deemed to have occurred
upon the defeasance of the New Notes and the New Indenture as provided in
Section 8.02 of the New Indenture or upon the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in Article Twelve of the New Indenture.

     Section 3.5.  Additional Creditors. Additional Creditors may, upon
compliance with the relevant provisions of the Secured Agreements, become
"Secured Parties" hereunder by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent
and to each of the then existing Secured Parties (a) a joinder agreement in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit A and (b) a copy of the Additional Facility or
Additional Facilities to which such Person is a party. Upon the execution and
delivery of any such copy of this Agreement by any such Person, such Person,
shall, upon delivery thereof to the then existing Secured Parties, thereafter
become a Secured Party for all purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 4  Appointment And Authorization Of Collateral Agent.

          (a) Each Secured Party hereby irrevocably designates and appoints The
Bank of New York as the Collateral Agent of such Secured Party under this
Agreement and the Collateral Document, and each Secured Party hereby irrevocably
authorizes The Bank of New York as the Collateral Agent for such Secured Party
to execute and enter into the Collateral Document and all other instruments
relating to the Collateral Document and (i) to take action on its behalf and

                                        9

<PAGE>

exercise such powers and use such discretion as are expressly permitted
hereunder and under the Collateral Document and all instruments relating hereto
and thereto and (ii) to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are, in
each case, expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and
thereof together with such other powers and discretion as are reasonably
incidental hereto and thereto.

          (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this
Agreement or the Collateral Document, the Collateral Agent shall not have any
duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein or therein or
any fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read
into this Agreement or the Collateral Document or otherwise exist against the
Collateral Agent.

SECTION 5  Agency Provisions.

     Section 5.1.  Delegation of Duties. The Collateral Agent may exercise its
powers and execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the Collateral
Document by or through employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be
entitled to take and to rely on advice of counsel of its selection concerning
all matters pertaining to such powers and duties. The Collateral Agent shall not
be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Collateral Agent may
utilize the services of such Persons as the Collateral Agent in its sole
discretion may determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of such Persons
shall be borne by the Company.

     Section 5.2.  Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any
of the Collateral Agent's officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this
Agreement or the Collateral Document or any Collateral (except for its or such
Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) responsible in any
manner to any of the Secured Parties for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties made by the Grantors, any officer thereof or any
other Person contained in, or made or deemed made in connection with, any
Secured Agreement or the Collateral Document or in any certificate, report,
statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the
Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement, any Secured
Agreement, or the Collateral Document, or for the due execution, legality,
value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of
any Secured Agreement or the Collateral Document or any other document or
instrument furnished pursuant thereto or of any of the Collateral or for any
failure of any Grantor to perform its obligations under such documents. With
respect to any information or actions that the Collateral Agent is permitted to
request under the Collateral Document at the written request of the Acting
Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent shall request such information or actions
concerning the Collateral as the Acting Secured Parties shall direct in writing
and shall provide to the Secured Parties the information concerning the
Collateral that is provided to the Collateral Agent by any Grantor in response
to such request. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to the
Secured Parties to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance
of any of the agreements contained in, statements made in, or conditions of any
Secured Agreement or the Collateral Document, or, unless requested to do so by
Required Secured Parties in writing, to inspect the property (including the
books and records) of the Grantors. Notwithstanding

                                       10

<PAGE>

anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall not be
required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for
believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk
or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

     Section 5.3.  Reliance by Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be
entitled to conclusively rely, and shall be fully protected and shall incur no
liability in acting and relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype
message, statement, order or other document reasonably believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person
or Persons and upon advice of its legal counsel (which shall not also be counsel
to any Grantor), written advice of legal counsel to any Grantor that is required
pursuant to the New Indenture, or upon advice of independent accountants and
other experts selected by the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may treat the payee of any Convertible
Note, any GM Convertible Note or any Additional Facility Note as the registered
holder thereof until it receives notice or otherwise has actual knowledge that
such payee is no longer the registered holder of such Convertible Note, GM
Convertible Note or Additional Facility Note. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein or in the Collateral Document, the Collateral Agent
shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take action under this
Agreement or the Collateral Document (including, without limitation, the
exercise of any rights or remedies under, or the entering into of any agreement
amending, modifying, supplementing, waiving any provision of, or the giving of
consent pursuant to, the Collateral Document) unless it shall first receive
instructions as contemplated by Section 6 from the Required Secured Parties or
the Acting Secured Parties, as applicable, and it shall first be indemnified to
its reasonable satisfaction by the relevant Secured Parties against any and all
liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking,
continuing to take or refraining from taking any such action. The Collateral
Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from
acting, under this Agreement and the Collateral Document in accordance with the
provisions of Section 6.5 and in accordance with written instructions pursuant
to Section 6.4 of the Required Secured Parties or Acting Secured Parties, as
applicable, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the relevant Secured Parties.

     Section 5.4.  Knowledge or Notice of Default, Event of Default. The
Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have actual, constructive, direct or
indirect knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default unless and until the Collateral Agent has received written notice from a
Secured Party or the Company referring to applicable Secured Agreement,
describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that it is a "notice of
default" or a "notice of event of default", setting forth in reasonable detail
the facts and circumstances thereof and stating that the Collateral Agent may
rely on such notice without further inquiry; provided that if the Collateral
Agent hereunder is party to any Secured Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be
deemed to have actual knowledge and notice of the occurrence of any Default or
Event of Default under such Secured Agreement if such Collateral Agent, in its
capacity as a Secured Party, has actual knowledge of such Default or Event of
Default or has declared an Event of Default under such Secured Agreement. The
Collateral Agent shall have no obligation or duty prior to or after receiving
any such notice to inquire whether a Default or Event of Default has in

                                       11

<PAGE>

fact occurred and shall be entitled to conclusively rely, and shall be fully
protected in so relying, on any such notice furnished to it.

     Section 5.5.  Non-Reliance on Collateral Agent and Other Secured Parties.
Each Secured Party expressly acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in
this Agreement, neither the Collateral Agent nor any of the Collateral Agent's
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made
any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Collateral Agent
hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Grantors, shall be
deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Collateral Agent to
any Secured Party. Each Secured Party represents that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and based
on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition and credit-worthiness of the Grantors and made its
own decision to enter into this Agreement and any Secured Agreement to which it
is party. Each Secured Party also represents that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and based
on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or
not taking action under any Secured Agreement, the Collateral Document and this
Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself
as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
credit-worthiness of the Grantors. Except for notices, reports and other
documents expressly required to be furnished to the Secured Parties by the
Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility to provide the Secured Parties with any credit or other
information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other
condition or credit-worthiness of the Grantors which may come into the
possession of the Collateral Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees,
agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

     Section 5.6.  Indemnification. The Secured Parties agree to indemnify the
Collateral Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the
Company, but without limiting any obligation of the Company to do so) ratably in
accordance with the Secured Parties' Pro Rata Shares, against, and hold the
Collateral Agent harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, which may be imposed on,
incurred by, or asserted against the Collateral Agent, in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or the Collateral Document or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Collateral
Agent in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Secured Party
shall be liable to the Collateral Agent for any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent they are found by a final
decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the
Collateral Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct or any action taken or
omitted to be taken that is not substantially in accordance with reasonable
instructions issued by the Required Secured Parties or the Acting Secured
Parties in accordance with Section 6.4(a). The agreements in this Section 5.6
shall survive the payment of the Secured Obligations.

     Section 5.7.  Collateral Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Bank of New
York and its Affiliates may make loans to and generally engage in any kind of
business with the Company or any other Grantor as though such Person was not the
Collateral Agent hereunder and without

                                       12

<PAGE>

any duty to account therefor to the Secured Parties. With respect to any debt
issued to it and advances made by it under a Secured Agreement, if any, The Bank
of New York shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any
Secured Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Collateral
Agent, and the terms "Secured Party" and "Secured Parties" shall include The
Bank of New York in its individual capacity. Any Person which succeeds The Bank
of New York as Collateral Agent shall have the same rights as The Bank of New
York under this Section 5.7 with respect to debt issued to it and advances made
by it under any Secured Agreement.

     Section 5.8.  Successor Collateral Agent.

          (a) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time upon thirty days'
notice to the Secured Parties and the Company and may be removed at any time,
with or without cause, by the Required Secured Parties by written notice
delivered to the Company, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties. After
any resignation or removal hereunder of the Collateral Agent, the provisions of
this Section 5 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it in connection with its role as Collateral Agent
hereunder while it was the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and it shall be
entitled to be paid promptly when due any amounts owing to it pursuant to
Section 5.6.

          (b) Upon receiving notice of any such resignation or removal, a
successor Collateral Agent shall be appointed by the Required Secured Parties;
provided, however, that such successor Collateral Agent shall be (i) a bank or
trust company having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000,
subject to supervision or examination by a federal or state banking authority;
and (ii) authorized under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or
organization to assume the functions of the Collateral Agent. If the appointment
of such successor shall not have become effective (as hereafter provided) (x)
within such thirty day period after the Collateral Agent's notice of resignation
or (y) upon removal of the Collateral Agent, then the Collateral Agent or any
Secured Party may, at the expense of the Secured Parties according to their Pro
Rata Shares, petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Collateral Agent. Such court shall, after such notice as it may deem
proper, appoint a successor Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications
specified in this Section 5.8(b). The Secured Parties hereby consent to such
petition and appointment so long as such criteria are met.

          (c) The resignation or removal of a Collateral Agent and the
appointment of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 5.8 shall
become effective upon (i) the acceptance of the appointment as Collateral Agent
hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent and (ii) the execution and delivery of
such documents or instruments as are necessary to transfer to such Collateral
Agent the rights and obligations of the Collateral Agent under the Collateral
Document, including, without limitation, the delivery and recordation of all
amendments, instruments, deed of trusts, financing statements, continuation
statements and other documents necessary to maintain the perfection of the
security interests held by the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the
Collateral Document. Copies of each such document or instrument shall be
delivered to all Secured Parties. Upon such effective appointment, the successor
Collateral Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent and the retiring
Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its rights, powers, privileges and
duties under this Agreement and the Collateral Document;

                                       13

<PAGE>

provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 5 shall continue to inure
to the retiring Collateral Agent's benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to
be taken by it in connection with its role as Collateral Agent hereunder while
it was the Collateral Agent under this Agreement.

SECTION 6  Actions By The Collateral Agent.

     Section 6.1.  Duties and Obligations. The duties and obligations of the
Collateral Agent are only those set forth in this Agreement and in the
Collateral Document.

     Section 6.2.  Notification of Default. If the Collateral Agent has been
notified in a writing conforming to the requirements of Section 5.4 by any
Secured Party that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred, the Collateral
Agent shall furnish to the Secured Parties and the Company a copy of such
written notice. The failure of any Secured Party having knowledge of the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default to notify the Collateral Agent or
any Secured Party of such occurrence, however, does not constitute a waiver of
such Default or Event of Default by the Secured Parties. Upon receipt of a
notice conforming to the requirements of Section 5.4 from a Secured Party of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall (in addition to
the action required by the first sentence of this Section 6.2) promptly (and in
any event no later than ten Business Days after receipt of such notice) issue a
notice of default (a "Notice of Default") to all Secured Parties. Such Notice of
Default shall indicate the nature of such Event of Default. The Notice of
Default may request instructions from the Secured Parties and shall specify the
date on which responses are due in order to be timely within Section 6.4.

     Section 6.3.  Exercise of Remedies. Except as otherwise provided in Section
6.4 and Section 6.5, the Collateral Agent shall take only such actions and
exercise only such remedies under the Collateral Document as are directed in
written instructions delivered to the Collateral Agent as required under Section
6.4 and signed by the Required Secured Parties. In the event that the Collateral
Agent shall determine in good faith that taking the actions specified in such
instructions is contrary to law, it may refrain (and shall be fully protected in
so refraining) from taking such action and shall promptly give notice of such
fact to each of the Secured Parties. In the event that instructions received by
the Collateral Agent are in its good faith judgment ambiguous or conflict with
other instructions received by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent (a)
shall promptly notify the Secured Parties of such ambiguity or conflict and
request clarifying instructions, and (b) may either (1) delay taking any such
action or exercising any such remedy pending the receipt of such clarifying
instructions (and shall be fully protected in so delaying) or (2) take such
actions as it is entitled to take under Section 6.5, provided that in taking
such actions the Collateral Agent shall act with such care as a reasonably
prudent person accords his own property.

     Section 6.4.  Instructions from Secured Parties.

          Notwithstanding anything express or implied to the contrary in the
Collateral Document:

          (a) remedies and other actions to be taken under the Collateral
     Document or applicable law with respect to the Collateral shall be directed
     in writing by the Required Secured Parties (or, in the case of the requests
     for information and actions to be taken at

                                       14

<PAGE>

     the direction of the Acting Secured Parties pursuant to Section 5.2, by the
     Acting Secured Parties); and

          (b) if any Secured Party does not respond in a timely manner to any
     notice (including, without limitation, a Notice of Default) from the
     Collateral Agent or request for instructions within the time period
     specified by the Collateral Agent in such notice or request for
     instructions (which shall be a minimum of five Business Days), the Secured
     Obligations held by such Secured Party which would otherwise be included in
     a determination of Required Secured Parties or Acting Secured Parties, as
     applicable, shall not be included in the determination of Required Secured
     Parties or Acting Secured Parties, as applicable, for purposes of such
     notice or request for instructions. Any action taken or not taken without
     the vote of such Secured Party or Secured Parties under this Section 6.4
     shall nevertheless be binding on such Secured Party or Secured Parties.

     Section 6.5.  Emergency Actions. If the Collateral Agent has asked the
Secured Parties for instruction and the Required Secured Parties or Acting
Secured Parties, as applicable, have not yet responded to such request, the
Collateral Agent shall be authorized to take, but shall not be required to take,
and shall in no event have any liability for the taking, any delay in taking or
the failure to take, such actions (other than any action described or permitted
under Section 6.7) with regard to a Default or Event of Default which the
Collateral Agent, in good faith, believes to be reasonably required to promote
and protect the interests of the Secured Parties and to preserve the value of
the Collateral and shall give the Secured Parties appropriate notice of such
action; provided that once instructions with respect to such request have been
received by the Collateral Agent from the Required Secured Parties or Acting
Secured Parties, as applicable, the actions of the Collateral Agent shall be
governed thereby and the Collateral Agent shall not take any further action
which would be contrary thereto.

     Section 6.6.  Changes to Collateral Document. Any term of the Collateral
Document may be amended, and the performance or observance by the parties to the
Collateral Document of any term of the Collateral Document may be waived (either
generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively), with the written consent of the Required Secured Parties;
provided, however, that any amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 6.6
shall apply equally to the interests of all Secured Parties under the Collateral
Document.

     Section 6.7.  Release of Collateral. (a) Subject to Section 314(d) of the
TIA (to the extent applicable), the release of any Collateral by the Collateral
Agent from the Lien of the Collateral Document shall be permitted with the
written consent of all of the Secured Parties; provided, however, that the
written consent of any Secured Party to the release of Collateral by the
Collateral Agent shall not be required, and the Lien of the Collateral Document
shall automatically be released, (i) with respect to any assets that any Grantor
disposes of pursuant to a disposition that is permitted under each of the
Secured Agreements and (ii) with respect to any assets owned by a Subsidiary
Guarantor that is released from its obligations under all Subsidiary Guaranties
to which it is a party.

          (b) Subject to Section 314(d) of the TIA (to the extent applicable),
the Collateral Agent shall provide a written release of any Lien on any
Collateral if it shall have received an officer's certificate from the Company
certifying that all conditions precedent to

                                       15

<PAGE>

such release hereunder have been satisfied. Upon compliance with the foregoing
sentence, the Collateral Agent shall execute, deliver or acknowledge any
reasonably requested instruments of termination, satisfaction or release to
evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this
Agreement.

     Section 6.8.  Other Actions. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to
take such actions, or omit to take such actions, hereunder and under the
Collateral Document not inconsistent with the written instructions delivered
pursuant to Section 6.3 of the Required Secured Parties or otherwise not
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, including actions the Collateral
Agent deems necessary or appropriate to perfect or continue the perfection of
the Liens on the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Except as
otherwise provided by applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as
to any Collateral, the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income
therefrom (including any duty to ascertain or take action with respect to calls,
conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any
Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have
knowledge of such matters), nor as to the preservation of rights against prior
parties, nor as to the preservation of rights pertaining to the Collateral
beyond the safe custody of any Collateral in the Collateral Agent's actual
possession.

     Section 6.9.  Cooperation. To the extent that the exercise of the rights,
powers and remedies of the Collateral Agent in accordance with this Agreement
requires that any action be taken by any Secured Party, such Secured Party shall
take such action and cooperate with the Collateral Agent to ensure that the
rights, powers and remedies of all Secured Parties are exercised in full.

     Section 6.10. Distribution of Proceeds of Collateral.

          (a) Upon any realization upon the Collateral, the Secured Parties
agree that the proceeds thereof shall be applied (i) first, to the amounts owing
to the Collateral Agent, solely in its capacity as Collateral Agent, by the
Grantors or the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement or the Collateral
Document; (ii) second, to reimburse the Secured Parties for any amounts paid
under Section 5.6 hereof; (iii) third, to the payment of all amounts of accrued
and unpaid interest which constitute Secured Obligations; (iv) fourth, to all
amounts of principal outstanding (or, if applicable, unpaid accreted value) in
respect of the Secured Obligations; (v) fifth, to all other Secured Obligations
then owing to the Secured Parties; and (vi) sixth, the balance, if any, shall be
returned to the Company or such other Persons as are entitled thereto. All
applications of such proceeds pursuant to clauses (ii) through (v) above shall
be allocated among the Secured Parties on the basis of their respective Pro Rata
Shares.

          (b) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent prior to any distribution
under this Section 6.10, each Secured Party shall provide to the Collateral
Agent certificates, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent, setting forth the respective amounts referred to in
Section 6.10(a), that each such Secured Party believes it is entitled to
receive.

     Section 6.11. Authorized Investments. Any and all funds held by the
Collateral Agent in its capacity as Collateral Agent, whether pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement or the Collateral Document, shall to the extent
feasible within a reasonable time be invested by the

                                       16

<PAGE>

Collateral Agent in Cash Equivalent Investments that are specified in writing by
the Company; provided, however, that upon the receipt of notice of a Default or
Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.4, such investments shall be invested as
specified in writing by the Required Secured Parties. Prior to making such
investment or to the extent it is not feasible to invest such funds in Cash
Equivalent Investments, the Collateral Agent shall hold any such funds in an
interest bearing account. Any interest earned on such funds shall be disbursed
to the Secured Parties in accordance with Section 6.10(a). The Collateral Agent
shall have no duty to place funds held and invested pursuant to this Section
6.11 in investments which provide a maximum return. The Collateral Agent shall
not be responsible for any loss, fee, tax or other damages with respect to any
funds invested in accordance with this Section 6.11.

     Section 6.12. Sharing of Proceeds. If, despite the provisions of this
Agreement, any Secured Party shall receive any payment or other recovery in
excess of its portion of payments on account of the Secured Obligations to which
it is then entitled in accordance with this Agreement, such Secured Party shall
hold such payment or other recovery in trust for the benefit of all Secured
Parties hereunder for distribution in accordance with Section 6.10(a).

SECTION 7  Bankruptcy Proceedings.

          The following provisions shall apply during any Bankruptcy Proceeding
of any Grantor:

          (a) The Collateral Agent shall represent all Secured Parties in
connection with all matters directly relating to the Collateral, including
without limitation, use, sale or lease of Collateral, use of cash collateral,
relief from the automatic stay and adequate protection. The Collateral Agent
shall act on the instructions of the Required Secured Parties; provided that
subject to Section 2.2, such instructions by the Required Secured Parties shall
not treat any Secured Party differently with respect to its rights in the
Collateral from any other Secured Party; and provided further that if action is
required prior to the time such instructions are received or if the Required
Secured Parties fail to give instructions with respect to any matter, the
Collateral Agent shall be authorized to act, or refrain from acting, in
accordance with Section 6.5.

          (b) Each Secured Party shall be free to act independently on any issue
not directly relating to the Collateral, including without limitation, matters
relating to appointment of a trustee, conversion of a case, filing of claims,
and plans of reorganization. Each Secured Party shall give prior notice to the
Collateral Agent of any such action to the extent that such notice is possible.
If such prior notice is not given, such Secured Party shall give prompt notice
following any such action.

SECTION 8  Miscellaneous.

     Section 8.3.  Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon
and inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and each of the Secured Parties
and their respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not, and,
in particular, shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against
any future holder or holders of any Secured Obligations, and the term "Secured
Party" shall include any such subsequent holder of Secured Obligations, wherever
the context permits.

     Section 8.4.  Consents, Amendment, Waivers. All amendments, waivers or
consents of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective only if the same
shall be in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent and all of the Secured
Parties.

     Section 8.5.  Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving
effect to any conflicts of law principles thereof other than New York General
Obligations Law Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402.

     Section 8.6.  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one Agreement, and
any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such
counterpart.

     Section 8.7.  Sale of Interest. No Secured Party will sell, transfer or
otherwise dispose of any interest in the Secured Obligations unless such
purchaser or transferee shall agree, in writing, to be bound by the terms of
this Agreement.

     Section 8.8.  Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

     Section 8.9.  Expenses. Without limiting the indemnification obligations of
the Secured Parties to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 5.6, in the
event of any litigation to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to its reasonable attorney's fees and expenses (including the allocated
costs of in-house counsel).

     Section 8.10. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate when the
conditions set forth in Section 3.4(a) have been satisfied with respect to all
of the Secured Parties, or when the Collateral Agent and all of the other
Secured Parties mutually agree in a writing to terminate this Agreement,
whichever occurs earlier.

     Section 8.11. Obligations Several. The obligations of the Secured Parties
and the Collateral Agent hereunder are several. The failure of any Secured Party
or the Collateral Agent to carry out its obligations hereunder shall not relieve
any other Secured Party or the Collateral Agent of any obligation hereunder, nor
shall any Secured Party or the Collateral Agent be responsible for the
obligations of, or any action taken or omitted by, any other Person hereunder.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to cause any Secured Party
or the Collateral Agent to be considered a partner of or joint venturer with any
other Secured Party, the Collateral Agent, or any Grantor.

     Section 8.12. Trustee Status. Notwithstanding any term herein to the
contrary, it is hereby expressly agreed and acknowledged that the agreements set
forth herein by the New Trustee are made solely in its capacity as trustee with
respect to the New Notes (and not in its individual commercial capacity, except
to the extent that it is or becomes a New Holder). The New Trustee shall have no
duties, obligations, or responsibilities to any Secured Party under this
Agreement except as expressly set forth herein. Nothing in this Agreement shall
be construed to operate as a waiver by the New Trustee with respect to the any
Grantor or any New Holder, of the benefit of any exculpatory provisions,
presumptions, indemnities, protections, benefits, immunities or reliance rights
contained in the New Indenture, and, by its acknowledgment hereof, each Grantor
expressly agrees that as between it on the one hand and the New Trustee on the
other hand, the New Trustee shall have such benefit with respect to all actions
or omissions by the New Trustee pursuant to this Agreement. For all purposes of
this Agreement, the New Trustee may (a) rely in good faith, as to matters of
fact, on any representation of fact believed by it to be true (without any duty
of investigation) and that is contained in a written certificate of any
authorized representative of the Company or of a Secured Party; (b) rely in good
faith, as to matters of law, on any advice received from its legal counsel or an
opinion of its counsel, counsel to the Company or counsel to any Secured Party,
and shall have no liability for any action or omission taken in reliance
thereon; and (c) assume in good faith (without any duty of investigation), and
rely upon, the genuineness, due authority, validity, and accuracy of any
certificate, instrument, notice, or other document believed by it in good faith
to be genuine and presented by the proper person.

     Section 8.13. Trust Indenture Act. To the extent applicable, if any
provision of this Agreement limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties
imposed on the New Trustee or the Collateral Agent by the TIA, the TIA shall
control. Any action required to be taken in order to comply with the TIA shall
be taken by the New Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable.
