Collateral"):

               (a) Pledged Shares. (i) 100% (or, if less, the full amount owned
          by such Pledgor) of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock owned by
          such Pledgor of each Domestic Subsidiary of such Pledgor set forth on

               Shares, or representing a distribution or return of capital upon
               or in respect of the Pledged Shares, or resulting from a stock
               split, revision, reclassification or other exchange therefor, and
               any subscriptions, warrants, rights or options issued to the
               holder of, or otherwise in respect of, the Pledged Shares; and

                    (B) without affecting the obligations of the Pledgors under
               any provision prohibiting such action hereunder or under the
               Credit Agreement, in the event of any consolidation or merger
               involving the issuer of any Pledged Shares and in which such
               issuer is not the surviving entity, all Capital Stock of the

          including, without limitation, the certificates (or other agreements
          or instruments) representing such Capital Stock.

               (c) Accessions and Proceeds. All Accessions and Proceeds of the
          foregoing, however and whenever acquired and in whatever form.

          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is hereby
specifically understood and agreed that a Pledgor may from time to time
hereafter deliver additional Capital Stock to the Collateral Agent (or its
designee) as collateral security for the Secured Obligations. Upon delivery to
the Collateral Agent (or its designee), such additional Capital Stock shall be
deemed to be part of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor and shall be subject
to the terms of this Pledge Agreement whether or not Schedule 2(a) is amended to
refer to such additional Capital Stock.

          3. Security for Secured Obligations. The security interest created
hereby in the Pledged Collateral of each Pledgor constitutes continuing
collateral security for all of the Secured Obligations.

          4. Delivery of the Pledged Collateral. Each Pledgor hereby agrees
that:

               (a) Delivery of Certificates. Each Pledgor shall, deliver to the
          Collateral Agent (or its designee) (i) simultaneously with or prior to
          the execution and delivery of this Pledge Agreement, all certificates
          representing the Pledged Shares of such Pledgor and (ii) promptly upon
          the receipt thereof by or on behalf of a Pledgor, all other
          certificates and instruments constituting Pledged Collateral of a
          Pledgor. Prior to delivery to the Collateral Agent (or its designee),
          all such certificates and instruments constituting Pledged Collateral
          of a Pledgor shall be held in trust by such Pledgor for the benefit of
          the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto. All such certificates shall be
          delivered in suitable form for transfer by delivery or shall be
          accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in
          blank, substantially in the form provided in Exhibit 4(a) attached
          hereto.

               (b) Additional Securities. If such Pledgor shall receive by
          virtue of its being or having been the owner of any Pledged
          Collateral, any (i) certificate, including without limitation, any
          certificate representing a dividend or distribution in connection with
          any increase or reduction of capital, reclassification, merger,
          consolidation, sale of assets, combination of shares, or other equity
          interests, stock splits, spin-off or split-off, promissory notes or
          other instruments; (ii) option or right, whether as an addition to,
          substitution for, or an exchange for, any Pledged Collateral or
          otherwise; (iii) dividends payable in securities; or (iv)
          distributions of securities in connection with a partial or total
          liquidation, dissolution or reduction of capital, capital surplus or
          paid-in surplus, then such Pledgor shall receive such certificate,
          instrument, option, right or distribution in trust for the benefit of
          the Collateral Agent, shall segregate it from such Pledgor's other
          property and shall deliver it forthwith to the Collateral Agent (or
          its designee) in the exact form received together with any necessary
          endorsement and/or appropriate stock power duly executed in blank,
          substantially in the form provided in Exhibit 4(a), to be held by the
          Collateral


                                        3

          Agent (or its designee) as Pledged Collateral and as further
          collateral security for the Secured Obligations.

               (c) Financing Statements. Each Pledgor authorizes the Collateral
          Agent to file one or more financing statements disclosing the
          Collateral Agent's security interest in the Pledged Collateral
          (including any financing statement indicating that the Collateral is
          "all assets" or "all personal property" or words of similar effect or
          describing or identifying the Collateral by type or in any manner as
          the Collateral Agent may determine). Each Pledgor agrees to execute
          and deliver to the Collateral Agent such financing statements and
          other applicable financing statements as may be reasonably requested
          by the Collateral Agent in order to perfect and protect the security
          interest created hereby in the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor.

          5. Representations and Warranties. Each Pledgor hereby represents and
warrants to the Collateral Agent and each Lender, that so long as any of the
Secured Obligations remain outstanding or any Credit Document is in effect:

               (a) Authorization of Pledged Shares. The Pledged Shares are duly
          authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and, except for Pledged
          Shares which are shares (the "ULC Shares") in PRG-Schultz Canada Corp.
          ("PRG-Schultz Canada"), a Nova Scotia unlimited liability company (the
          "ULC"), nonassessable and are not subject to the preemptive rights of
          any Person. All other Capital Stock constituting Pledged Collateral
          will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and, except for
          Pledged Shares which are ULC Shares, nonassessable and not subject to
          the preemptive rights of any Person.

               (b) Title. Each Pledgor has good and indefeasible title to the
          Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor and will at all times be the legal
          and beneficial owner of such Pledged Collateral free and clear of any
          Lien, other than Permitted Liens. There exists no "adverse claim"
          within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code as
          in effect in the State of New York (the "UCC") with respect to the
          Pledged Shares of such Pledgor.

               (c) Exercising of Rights. Neither the exercise by the Collateral
          Agent or any Lender of its rights and remedies hereunder nor the
          execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Pledgor
          will violate any law or governmental regulation or any material
          contractual restriction binding on or affecting a Pledgor or any of
          its property.

               (d) Pledgor's Authority. No authorization, approval or action by,
          and no notice or filing with any Governmental Authority or with the
          issuer of any Pledged Shares is required either (i) for the pledge
          made by a Pledgor or for the granting of the security interest by a
          Pledgor pursuant to this Pledge Agreement (except as have already been
          obtained) or (ii) for the exercise by the Collateral Agent or any
          Lender of its rights and remedies hereunder (except as may be required
          by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities).


                                        4

               (e) Security Interest/Priority. This Pledge Agreement creates a
          valid security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the
          benefit of the Lenders, in the Pledged Collateral. The delivery to the
          Collateral Agent (or its designee) of certificates evidencing the
          Pledged Collateral, together with duly executed stock powers in
          respect thereof, will perfect and establish the first priority
          (subject in priority solely to the Liens in favor of the Working
          Capital Lender) of the Collateral Agent's security interest in any
          certificated Pledged Collateral that constitutes a Security. The
          filing of appropriate UCC financing statements in the appropriate
          filing offices in the jurisdiction of organization of the applicable
          Pledgor or obtaining "control" over such interests in accordance with
          the provisions of Section 8-106 of the UCC will perfect and establish
          the first priority (subject in priority solely to the Liens in favor
          of the Working Capital Lender) of the Collateral Agent's security
          interest in any uncertificated Pledged Collateral that constitutes a
          Security. The filing of appropriate UCC financing statements in the
          appropriate filing offices in the jurisdiction of organization of the
          applicable Pledgor will perfect and establish the first priority
          (subject in priority solely to the Liens in favor of the Working
          Capital Lender) of the Collateral Agent's security interest in any
          Pledged Collateral that does not constitute a Security. Except as set
          forth in this Section 5(e), no action is necessary to perfect or
          otherwise protect such security interest.

               (f) Partnership and Membership Interests. Except as previously
          disclosed to the Lenders, none of the Pledged Shares consisting of
          partnership or limited liability company interests (i) is dealt in or
          traded on a securities exchange or in a securities market, (ii) by its
          terms expressly provides that it is a security governed by Article 8
          of the UCC, (iii) is an investment company security, (iv) is held in a
          securities account or (v) constitutes a Security or a Financial Asset.

               (g) No Other Interests. No Pledgor owns any Capital Stock in any
          Subsidiary other than as set forth on Schedule 2(a) attached hereto.

          6. Covenants. Each Pledgor hereby covenants, that so long as any of
the Secured Obligations remain outstanding or any Credit Document is in effect,
such Pledgor shall:

               (a) Books and Records. Mark its books and records (and shall
          cause the issuer of the Pledged Shares of such Pledgor to mark its
          books and records) to reflect the security interest granted to the
          Collateral Agent pursuant to this Pledge Agreement.

               (b) Defense of Title. Warrant and defend title to and ownership
          of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor at its own expense against
          the claims and demands of all other parties claiming an interest
          therein, keep the Pledged Collateral free from all Liens, except for
          Permitted Liens, and not sell, exchange, transfer, assign, lease or
          otherwise dispose of Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor or any
          interest therein, except as permitted under the Credit Agreement and
          the other Credit Documents.


                                        5

               (c) Further Assurances. Promptly execute and deliver at its
          expense all further instruments and documents and take all further
          action that may be reasonably necessary and desirable or that the
          Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to (i) perfect and
          protect the security interest created hereby in the Pledged Collateral
          of such Pledgor (including without limitation any and all action
          necessary to reasonably satisfy the Collateral Agent that the
          Collateral Agent has obtained a first priority (subject in priority
          solely to the Liens in favor of the Working Capital Lender) perfected
          security interest in any Capital Stock); (ii) enable the Collateral
          Agent or any Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies
          hereunder in respect of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor; and
          (iii) otherwise effect the purposes of this Pledge Agreement,
          including, without limitation, and if requested by the Collateral
          Agent, delivering to the Collateral Agent (or its designees)
          irrevocable proxies in respect of the Pledged Collateral of such
          Pledgor upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event
          of Default.

               (d) Amendments. Not make or consent to any amendment or other
          modification or waiver with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral
          of such Pledgor or enter into any agreement or allow to exist any
          restriction with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral of such
          Pledgor other than pursuant hereto.

               (e) Compliance with Securities Laws. File all reports and other
          information now or hereafter required to be filed by such Pledgor with
          the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and any other
          state, federal or foreign agency in connection with the ownership of
          the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor.

               (f) Issuance or Acquisition of Capital Stock. Not, without
          executing and delivering, or causing to be executed and delivered, to
          the Collateral Agent (or its designees) such agreements, documents and
          instruments as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require, issue or
          acquire any Capital Stock consisting of an interest in a partnership
          or a limited liability company that (i) is dealt in or traded on a
          securities exchange or in a securities market, (ii) by its terms
          expressly provides that it is a security governed by Article 8 of the
          UCC, (iii) is an investment company security, (iv) is held in a
          securities account or (v) constitutes a Security or a Financial Asset.

               (g) Authorization. Authorize the Collateral Agent to prepare and
          file such financing statements (including renewal statements),
          amendments and supplements or such other instruments as the Collateral
          Agent may from time to time reasonably deem necessary, appropriate or
          convenient in order to perfect and maintain the security interests
          granted hereunder in accordance with the UCC.

          7. Advances by Collateral Agent. On failure of any Pledgor to perform
any of the covenants and agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent may,
at its sole option and in its sole discretion, perform the same and in so doing
may expend such sums as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem advisable in
the performance thereof, including, without limitation, the payment of any
insurance premiums, the payment of any taxes, a payment to obtain a release


                                        6

<PAGE>

of a Lien or potential Lien, expenditures made in defending against any adverse
claim and all other expenditures which the Collateral Agent may make for the
protection of the security hereof or which may be compelled to make by operation
of law. All such sums and amounts so expended shall be repayable by the Pledgors
on a joint and several basis promptly upon timely notice thereof and demand
therefor, shall constitute additional Secured Obligations and shall bear
interest from the date said amounts are expended at the Default Rate specified
in Section 3.1 of the Credit Agreement. No such performance of any covenant or
agreement by the Collateral Agent on behalf of any Pledgor, and no such advance
or expenditure therefor, shall relieve the Pledgors of any default under the
terms of this Pledge Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any other
documents relating to the Secured Obligations. The Collateral Agent may make any
payment hereby authorized in accordance with any bill, statement or estimate
procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be
discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate
or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien, title or
claim except to the extent such payment is being contested in good faith by a
Pledgor in appropriate proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being
maintained in accordance with GAAP.

          8. Events of Default. The occurrence of an event which under the
Credit Agreement would constitute an Event of Default shall be an Event of
Default hereunder (an "Event of Default").

          9. Remedies.

               (a) General Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
          and during the continuation thereof, the Collateral Agent shall have,
          (i) in respect of the Pledged Collateral of any Pledgor, except for
          Pledged Collateral consisting of ULC Shares, in addition to the rights
          and remedies provided herein, in any other documents relating to the
          Secured Obligations, in the Credit Documents or by law, the rights and
          remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law
          and (ii) in respect of any PRG-Schultz Canada's Pledged Collateral
          consisting of ULC Shares, the rights and remedies described in this
          Section 9.

               (b) Sale of Pledged Collateral. Upon the occurrence of an Event
          of Default and during the continuation thereof, without limiting the
          generality of this Section 9 and without notice, the Collateral Agent
          may, in its sole discretion, sell or otherwise dispose of or realize
          upon the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more
          parcels, at public or private sale, at any exchange or broker's board
          or elsewhere, at such price or prices and on such other terms as the
          Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable, for cash, credit or
          for future delivery or otherwise in accordance with applicable law. To
          the extent permitted by law, the Collateral Agent and any Lender may
          in such event, bid for the purchase of such securities. Each Pledgor
          agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law and
          has not been waived by such Pledgor, any requirement of reasonable
          notice shall be met if notice, specifying the place of any public sale
          or the time after which any private sale is to be made, is personally
          served on or mailed, postage prepaid, to such Pledgor, in accordance
          with the notice provisions of Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement at
          least 10


                                        7

<PAGE>

          days before the time of such sale. The Collateral Agent shall not be
          obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor
          regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent
          may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by
          announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may,
          without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was
          so adjourned.

               (c) Private Sale. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and
          during the continuation thereof, the Pledgors recognize that the
          Collateral Agent may deem it impracticable to effect a public sale of
          all or any part of the Pledged Shares or any of the securities
          constituting Pledged Collateral and that the Collateral Agent may,
          therefore, determine to make one or more private sales of any such
          securities to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated
          to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own
          account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or
          resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sale
          may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the
          prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale
          and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such private sale
          shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner
          and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to delay sale
          of any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit the
          issuer of such securities to register such securities for public sale
          under the Securities Act of 1933. Each Pledgor further acknowledges
          and agrees that any offer to sell such securities which has been (i)
          publicly advertised on a bona fide basis in a newspaper or other
          publication of general circulation in the financial community of New
          York, New York (to the extent that such offer may be advertised
          without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933), or (ii)
          made privately in the manner described above shall be deemed to
          involve a "public sale" under the UCC, notwithstanding that such sale
          may not constitute a "public offering" under the Securities Act of
          1933, and the Collateral Agent may, in such event, bid for the
          purchase of such securities.

               (d) Retention of Pledged Collateral. In addition to the rights
          and remedies hereunder, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,
          the Collateral Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Lenders) may,
          after providing the notices required by Sections 9-620 and 9-621 of
          the UCC or otherwise complying with the requirements of applicable law
          of the relevant jurisdiction, accept or retain all or any portion of
          the Pledged Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.
          Unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have provided such
          notices, however, the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have
          accepted or retained any Pledged Collateral in satisfaction of any
          Secured Obligations for any reason.

               (e) Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any sale,
          collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which
          the Collateral Agent and the Lenders are legally entitled, the
          Pledgors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency,
          together with interest thereon at the Default Rate specified in
          Section 3.1 of the Credit Agreement, together with the costs of


                                        8

<PAGE>

          collection and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the
          Collateral Agent or any Lender to collect such deficiency. Any surplus
          remaining after the full payment and satisfaction of the Secured
          Obligations shall be returned to the Pledgors or to whomsoever a court
          of competent jurisdiction shall determine to be entitled thereto.

          10. Rights of the Collateral Agent.

               (a) Power of Attorney. In addition to other powers of attorney
          contained herein, each Pledgor hereby designates and appoints the
          Collateral Agent and each of its designees or agents as
          attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor, irrevocably and with power of
          substitution, with authority to take any or all of the following
          actions (in the case of PRG-Schultz Canada's Pledged Collateral
          consisting of ULC Shares, such actions to be taken in the name of
          PRG-Schultz Canada and not in the Collateral Agent's own behalf) upon
          the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

                         (i) to demand, collect, settle, compromise, adjust and
                    give discharges and releases concerning the Pledged
                    Collateral of such Pledgor, all as the Collateral Agent may
                    reasonably determine;

                         (ii) to commence and prosecute any actions at any court
                    for the purposes of collecting any of the Pledged Collateral
                    of such Pledgor and enforcing any other right in respect
                    thereof;

                         (iii) to defend, settle or compromise any action
                    brought and, in connection therewith, give such discharge or
                    release as the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably
                    appropriate;

                         (iv) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security
                    interests, or other encumbrances levied or placed on or
                    threatened against the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor;

                         (v) to direct any parties liable for any payment under
                    any of the Pledged Collateral to make payment of any and all
                    monies due and to become due thereunder directly to the
                    Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct;

                         (vi) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all
                    monies, claims, and other amounts due and to become due at
                    any time in respect of or arising out of any Pledged
                    Collateral of such Pledgor;

                         (vii) to sign and endorse any drafts, assignments,
                    proxies, stock powers, verifications, notices and other
                    documents relating to the Pledged Collateral of such
                    Pledgor;


                                        9

<PAGE>

                    (viii) to settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or
               proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, to give
               such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem
               reasonably appropriate;

                    (ix) to execute and deliver all assignments, conveyances,
               statements, financing statements, renewal financing statements,
               pledge agreements, affidavits, notices and other agreements,
               instruments and documents that the Collateral Agent may
               reasonably determine necessary in order to perfect and maintain
               the security interests and liens granted in this Pledge Agreement
               and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions
               contemplated therein;

                    (x) to exchange any of the Pledged Collateral of such
               Pledgor or other property upon any merger, consolidation,
               reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the
               issuer thereof and, in connection therewith, deposit any of the
               Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor with any committee,
               depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency
               upon such terms as the Collateral Agent may reasonably determine;

                    (xi) to vote for a shareholder resolution, or to sign an
               instrument in writing, sanctioning the transfer of any or all of
               the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor into the name of the
               Collateral Agent into the name of any transferee to whom the
               Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor or any part thereof may be
               sold pursuant to Section 9 hereof; and

                    (xii) to do and perform all such other acts and things as
               the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem to be necessary or
               proper in connection with the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor.

          This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall
be irrevocable for so long as any of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding
or any Credit Document is in effect. The Collateral Agent shall be under no duty
to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges
and options expressly or implicitly granted to the Collateral Agent in this
Pledge Agreement, and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay
in doing so. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any act or omission or
for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual
capacity or its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting
from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power of attorney is
conferred on the Collateral Agent solely to protect, preserve and realize upon
its security interest in Pledged Collateral.

               (b) Performance by the Collateral Agent of Pledgor's Obligations.
          If any Pledgor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained
          herein, the Collateral Agent itself may perform, or cause performance
          of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Collateral
          Agent incurred in connection


                                       10

<PAGE>

          therewith shall be payable by the Pledgors on a joint and several
          basis pursuant to Section 26 hereof.

               (c) Assignment by the Collateral Agent and the Lenders. The
          Collateral Agent and each Lender may from time to time assign the
          Secured Obligations and any portion thereof in accordance with the
          Credit Agreement and/or the Pledged Collateral and any portion
          thereof, and the assignee shall be entitled to all of the rights and
          remedies of the Collateral Agent or such Lender, as applicable, under
          this Pledge Agreement in relation thereto.

               (d) The Collateral Agent's Duty of Care. Other than the exercise
          of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Pledged
          Collateral while being held by the Collateral Agent hereunder, the
          Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights
          pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that the Pledgors
          shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in the Pledged
          Collateral of such Pledgor, and the Collateral Agent shall be relieved
          of all responsibility for Pledged Collateral upon surrendering it or
          tendering the surrender of it to the Pledgors. The Collateral Agent
          shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
          preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if such
          Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that
          which the Collateral Agent accords its own property, which shall be no
          less than the treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in
          the industry, it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall not
          have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect
          to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters
          relating to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not the Collateral
          Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters; or (ii)
          taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with
          respect to any Pledged Collateral.

               (e) Voting Rights in Respect of the Pledged Collateral.

                         (i) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred
                    and be continuing, to the extent permitted by law, each
                    Pledgor may exercise any and all voting and other consensual
                    rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor
                    or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with
                    the terms of this Pledge Agreement or the Credit Agreement;
                    and

                         (ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
                    an Event of Default, all rights of a Pledgor to exercise the
                    voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise
                    be entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) of this
                    subsection shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon
                    become vested in the Collateral Agent which shall then have
                    the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual
                    rights.

               (f) Dividend Rights in Respect of the Pledged Collateral.


                                       11

<PAGE>

                         (i) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred
                    and be continuing and subject to Section 4(b) hereof, each
                    Pledgor may receive and retain any and all dividends (other
                    than stock dividends and other dividends constituting
                    Pledged Collateral which are addressed hereinabove) or
                    interest paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the
                    extent they are allowed under the Credit Agreement.

                         (ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
                    an Event of Default:

                              (A) all rights of a Pledgor to receive the
                         dividends and interest payments which it would
                         otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant
                         to paragraph (i) of this subsection shall cease and all
                         such rights shall thereupon be vested in the Collateral
                         Agent (or its designee) which shall then have the sole
                         right to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such
                         dividends and interest payments; and

                              (B) all dividends and interest payments which are
                         received by a Pledgor contrary to the provisions of
                         paragraph (A) of this subsection shall be received in
                         trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be
                         segregated from other property or funds of such
                         Pledgor, and shall be forthwith paid over to the
                         Collateral Agent (or its designee) as Pledged
                         Collateral in the exact form received, to be held by
                         the Collateral Agent (or its designee) as Pledged
                         Collateral and as further collateral security for the
                         Secured Obligations.

               (g) Release of Pledged Collateral. The Collateral Agent may
          release any of the Pledged Collateral from this Pledge Agreement or
          may substitute any of the Pledged Collateral for other Pledged
          Collateral without altering, varying or diminishing in any way the
          force, effect, lien, pledge or security interest of this Pledge
          Agreement as to any Pledged Collateral not expressly released or
          substituted, and this Pledge Agreement shall continue as a first
          priority lien (subject in priority solely to the Liens in favor of the
          Working Capital Lender) on all Pledged Collateral not expressly
          released or substituted.

          11. Exception for Unlimited Liability Company Shares. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Pledge Agreement to the contrary, with respect to the
Pledged Collateral that constitutes the ULC Shares, subsections 10(e) and 10(f)
shall not apply to such ULC Shares, and neither the Collateral Agent nor any
person other than the PRG-Schultz Canada shall become or deemed to become
members or shareholders of the ULC for the purposes of the Companies Act (Nova
Scotia) pursuant to this Pledge Agreement until such time as notice is given to
the PRG-Schultz Canada and further steps are taken under this Pledge Agreement
to register the Collateral Agent or its nominee as holder of the ULC Shares. No
provision in this Pledge Agreement or actions taken by the Collateral Agent
pursuant to this


                                       12
<PAGE>

Pledge Agreement which might provide or be deemed to provide otherwise than as
set forth above or which might provide or be deemed to provide the Collateral
Agent any other ownership or indicia of ownership of the ULC shall apply in
respect of ULC Shares except as set forth in the final sentence of this Section
11. To the extent that any provision of this Pledge Agreement would have the
effect of constituting the Collateral Agent as a member of the ULC prior to the
time of the re-registration of the shares in its name or that of its nominee,
such provision shall be severed herefrom and rendered ineffective with respect
to (but only with respect to) Pledged Collateral comprising the ULC Shares and
without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Pledge Agreement
or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates
to Pledged Collateral that is not comprised of the ULC Shares. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Pledge Agreement with respect to the ULC Shares only, neither PRG-Schultz
Canada nor the ULC, the issuer of the ULC Shares, shall, or shall be obliged to,
cause or permit the Collateral Agent to be, or to be deemed to be or entitled
to, (i) be registered as shareholder or member, or apply to be registered as
shareholder or member of the ULC other than upon the enforcement of rights'
described in the final sentence of this Section 11 upon the giving of notice;
(ii) be referred to in any notation entered in any share register in respect of
ULC Shares; (iii) be held out as shareholder or member of the ULC; or (iv) to
act as shareholder or member of the ULC, or obtain, exercise or attempt to
exercise any rights of a shareholder or member including, without limitation,
the right to attend a meeting of, or to vote the shares of, the ULC or to
receive (other than to hold as Pledged Collateral), any dividend or other
distribution in respect of ULC Shares. The foregoing limitations shall not
restrict the Collateral Agent from exercising the rights, powers and remedies
which it is entitled to exercise under Section 9 of this Pledge Agreement in
respect of any Pledged Collateral constituting the ULC Shares at any time that
the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to realize on all or any portion of the
Pledged Collateral pursuant to the security interests and pledges granted by
this Pledge Agreement, provided that no such exercise shall occur, or be deemed
to have occurred, prior to the provision to PRG-Schultz Canada by the Collateral
Agent of prior written notice of the Collateral Agent's intention to exercise
such rights, powers and remedies.

          12. Application of Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, any payments in respect of the Secured
Obligations and any proceeds of any Pledged Collateral, when received by the
Collateral Agent or the Lenders in cash or its equivalent, will be applied in
reduction of the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in Section 9.3 of
the Credit Agreement, and each Pledgor irrevocably waives the right to direct
the application of such payments and proceeds and acknowledges and agrees that
the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive
right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and proceeds in the
Collateral Agent's and the Lenders' sole discretion, notwithstanding any entry
to the contrary upon any of its books and records.

          13. Costs of Counsel. At all times hereafter, the Pledgors agree to
promptly pay upon demand any and all reasonable costs and expenses of (a) the
Collateral Agent and each Lender, as required under Section 10.4 of the Credit
Agreement and (b) of the Collateral Agent as the incurrence of such costs and
expenses are reasonably necessary to protect the Pledged Collateral or to
exercise any rights or remedies under this Pledge Agreement or with respect to
any Pledged Collateral. All of the foregoing costs and expenses shall constitute
Secured Obligations hereunder.


                                       13

<PAGE>

          14. Continuing Agreement.

               (a) This Pledge Agreement shall be a continuing agreement in
          every respect and shall remain in full force and effect so long as any
          of the Secured Obligations remain outstanding and the Credit Document
          shall not have been terminated (other than any obligations with
          respect to the indemnities and the representations and warranties set
          forth in the Credit Documents). Upon such payment and termination,
          this Pledge Agreement shall be automatically terminated and the
          Collateral Agent shall, upon the request and at the expense of the
          Pledgors, forthwith promptly release all of its liens and security
          interests hereunder and shall execute and deliver all UCC termination
          statements and/or other documents reasonably requested by the Pledgors
          evidencing such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing all
          releases and indemnities provided hereunder shall survive termination
          of this Pledge Agreement.

               (b) This Pledge Agreement shall continue to be effective or be
          automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment,
          in whole or in part, of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or
          must otherwise be restored or returned by the Collateral Agent or any
          Lender as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under any
          bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, all as though such payment had
          not been made; provided that in the event payment of all or any part
          of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be restored or
          returned, all reasonable costs and expenses (including without
          limitation any reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred by
          the Collateral Agent or any Lender in defending and enforcing such
          reinstatement shall be deemed to be included as a part of the Secured
          Obligations.

          15. Amendments; Waivers: Modifications. This Pledge Agreement and the

the Collateral Agent shall, subject in priority solely to the Liens in favor of
the Working Capital Lender, have the right to proceed against such other
property, guarantee or endorsement upon the occurrence of any Event of Default,
and the Collateral Agent has the right, in its sole discretion, to determine
which rights, security, liens, security interests or remedies the Collateral
Agent shall at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take with
respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of them or any of
the Collateral Agent's rights or the Secured Obligations under this Pledge
Agreement, under any other of the Credit Documents or under any other documents

          26. Joint and Several Obligations of Pledgors.

               (a) Each of the Pledgors is accepting joint and several liability
          hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodation to be
          provided by the Collateral Agent and the Lenders under the Credit
          Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of
          the Pledgors and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the
          Pledgors to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of
          each of them.

               (b) Each of the Pledgors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably
          and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a
          co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Pledgors with
          respect to the payment and


                                       16

<PAGE>

          performance of all of the Secured Obligations arising under this
          Pledge Agreement, and the other Credit Documents, it being the
          intention of the parties hereto that all the Secured Obligations shall
          be the joint and several obligations of each of the Pledgors without
          preferences or distinction among them.

               (c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained
          herein, in any other of the Credit Documents, the obligations of each
          Guarantor under the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents and
          the documents relating to the Secured Obligations shall be limited to
          an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render
          such obligation subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United
          States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable
          state law.

          27. Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Pledge Agreement, (i) the rights of each Pledgor, the Collateral Agent
and the Lenders under this Pledge Agreement are subject to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) any obligation of any Pledgor in this Pledge
Agreement that requires delivery of Pledged Collateral to, possession or control
of Pledged Collateral with, the pledge, assignment, endorsement or transfer of
Pledged Collateral to or the registration of Pledged Collateral in the name of,
the Collateral Agent shall be deemed complied with and satisfied if such
delivery of Pledged Collateral is made to, such possession or control of Pledged
Collateral is with, or such Pledged Collateral be assigned, endorsed or
transferred to or registered in the name of, the Working Capital Lender, and
(iii) in the event of a direct conflict between the terms and provisions of this
Pledge Agreement and the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, it
is the intention of each Pledgor, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders that such
provisions shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible,
to be in concert with each other; however, in the event of any actual,
irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and
provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement shall control and, in such case, no
Pledgor shall be in breach of its obligations under this Pledge Agreement as a
result of complying with the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor
Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in
this Section 27 shall limit or otherwise adversely effect the grant of a lien on
or a security interest in any Pledged Collateral under Section 2 of this Pledge
Agreement.
