                  (b)      The Bank agrees to comply with instructions
originated by Collateral Agent directing disposition of the funds in the
Accounts or any other Account Collateral or to take such other action as shall
from time to time be specified in writing from Collateral Agent, in all cases
without notice to or the consent of the Company or the Other Debtors. The Bank
shall follow the instructions of Collateral Agent as to the holding, investment
and transfer of all Account Collateral (including without limitation, any
instructions to transfer such collected amounts to Buyers or to an account
designated by Collateral Agent). Each of the Company and the Other Debtors
hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Bank to comply with any such
instructions by Collateral Agent without further action or consent by the
Company or the Other Debtors and notwithstanding any subsequent objection or
contrary direction the Bank may receive from the Company or the Other Debtors.
In addition, each of the Company and the Other Debtors agrees that the Bank may
act as the agent of Collateral Agent in exercising any rights of set-off
provided by applicable law or by any Transaction Document (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement) as to any Account Collateral. The Company and the Other
Debtors each agree that the Bank shall be entitled to rely, without independent
investigation, on any written notice in the form of Exhibit A from Collateral
Agent to the effect that an Event of Default (each as defined in the Notes) has
occurred and is continuing or any other statement of Collateral Agent to the
effect that any exercise of set-off requested by Collateral Agent is permitted
under applicable law, the Security Agreement or any applicable Transaction
Document.

                  (c)      Without limiting or qualifying the provisions of
clause (b) above, Collateral Agent, on its behalf and on behalf of the Buyers,
hereby appoints the Bank as Collateral Agent's and the Buyers' agent and
pledgee-in-possession for the Accounts and all Account Collateral, for the
purpose of perfecting Collateral Agent's and the Buyers' security interest
therein; and the Bank by its execution and delivery of this Agreement hereby
accepts such appointment and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
The Company and the Other Debtors each hereby agrees to such appointment of the
Bank and further agrees that the Bank, on behalf of Collateral Agent and the
Buyers, shall be entitled to exercise, upon the instructions of Collateral
Agent, any and all rights that the Collateral Agent and the Buyers may have
under the Purchase Agreement, the Security Agreement and all other agreements,
documents and instruments executed pursuant thereto, or under applicable law,
with respect to the Accounts and the Account Collateral.

         3.       Debtor's Access to Accounts. Collateral Agent agrees that,
until such time as Bank receives written notice in the form of Exhibit A from
Collateral Agent of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Company and the
Other Debtors shall be allowed access to the Accounts and the Account Collateral
without Collateral Agent's further consent (including, without limitation,
presenting items drawn on the Accounts or giving Bank instructions as to the
withdrawal or other disposition of any funds from time to time credited to the
Accounts); provided, that neither the Company nor the Other Debtors shall be
permitted to close any of the Accounts. Upon receipt by Bank of notice by
Collateral Agent of the occurrence of an Event of Default, and at all times
thereafter, neither the Company nor any of the Other Debtors shall be entitled
access to the Accounts or the Account Collateral and the Bank shall not comply
with any instructions or directions originated by the Company or any of the
Other Debtors or otherwise permit the Company or any of the Other Debtors access
to or control over the Accounts or the Account Collateral, including without
limitation giving stop payment orders, presenting items for payment or making
withdrawals therefrom.

         4.       Irrevocable Agreement. The Company and the Other Debtors each
hereby agrees and acknowledges that the agreements made by it and the
authorizations granted by it herein are irrevocable and that the authorizations
granted herein are powers coupled with an interest.

         5.       Set-off. The Bank hereby waives all existing and future rights
of recoupment or set-off and banker's liens against the Accounts and the Account
Collateral, except those rights of set-off and banker's liens arising in
connection with (a) items deposited in the Accounts that are subsequently
returned to the Bank unpaid and (b) any compensation and expenses owing and
payable to Bank with respect to the Accounts which are assessed in accordance
with the Bank's standard account documentation.

         6.       Account Information. The Bank shall provide Collateral Agent,
at the address indicated in Section 11 below, with such information with respect
to the Accounts and Account Collateral as Collateral Agent may from time to time
reasonably request, including, without limitation and duplicate copies of all
bank statements which are sent to the Company or the Other Debtors. The Company
and the Other Debtors each hereby consents to such information being provided to
Collateral Agent.

         7.       Exculpation. The Bank undertakes to perform only such duties
as are expressly set forth herein. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Agreement, the parties hereto agree that the Bank shall not be liable for any
action taken by it or any of its directors, officers, agents or employees in
accordance with this Agreement. In no event shall the Bank be liable for
indirect, special or consequential damages.

         8.       Indemnity. Each of the Company and the Other Debtors agrees to
indemnify the Bank and hold it harmless against any loss, damage, or expense
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and other litigation expenses) which it
may suffer as a direct result of the Bank's entering into this Agreement and
performing its obligation hereunder, including, honoring any instructions or
direction it receives from Collateral Agent with respect to the Accounts during
the term of this Agreement, other than any loss, damage or expense incurred as a
result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or breach of this
Agreement by, the Bank or its officers, agents or employees.

         9.       No Other Assignments. Bank represents and warrants to
Collateral Agent, on its behalf and on behalf of the Buyers, that no other
notices of assignment of, lien upon or security interest in the Accounts or the
Account Collateral are reflected in Bank's records concerning the Accounts, and
Bank has no knowledge of any such assignment or lien. The Company and the Other
Debtors each hereby instructs Bank and Bank hereby agrees to record in Bank's
records concerning the Accounts any such notice of assignment of the Accounts
that it receives, including the notice conferred by this Agreement. Bank agrees
with and covenants to Collateral Agent, on its behalf and on behalf of the
Buyers, that it shall not enter into any other agreement with any Person which
would obligate Bank to follow such Person's instructions with respect to the
Account or the Account Collateral, or which would otherwise confer control of
the Accounts or the Account Collateral upon such Person.

         10.      Termination. This Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect until such time as Collateral Agent shall deliver written notice to the
Bank that all of the Liabilities have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and

                                       4
<PAGE>

the Security Agreement has been terminated, whereupon this Agreement shall
terminate. All rights of the Bank under Sections 7 and 8 for the period prior to
any such termination shall survive such termination.
