         defense available to, or a discharge of, the Subordinated Lienholder in
         respect of its lien subordination as provided pursuant to the terms of
         this Agreement.

                  (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section
2.2, the Agent and the Senior Lienholders shall not, without the prior written
consent of the Subordinated Lienholder, to be granted in each instance in the
Subordinated Lienholder's sole and exclusive discretion:

                  (i) amend the definitions of any of the following terms, nor
         any component of the definition of any of the following terms, from
         those set forth in the Senior Lienholders Loan Agreement as in effect

         Base: (a) Availability, (b) Borrowing Base or Inventory Loan Cap

                  (ii) except as otherwise required or permitted by the terms of
         clauses (b)(x), (y) and (z) of the definition of Availability Reserve
         in the Senior Lienholders Loan Agreement as in effect on the date of
         this Agreement, reduce or release any Landlord Availability Reserve
         which the Agent may elect to establish from time to time, it being
         understood that nothing herein contained shall in any way obligate the
         Agent to establish any Landlord Availability Reserve, or, once
         established, reduce or release such Landlord Availability Reserve or
         any part thereof for the reasons set forth in such clauses (b)(x), (y)
         and (z).

                  (d) The provisions of this Agreement shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of any

not been made.

         3. Appointment of the Agent as Collateral Agent. The Subordinated
Lienholder hereby appoints and designates the Agent, and the Agent agrees to
act, as the Subordinated Lienholder's collateral agent within the meaning of the
term "secured party" under Section 9-102(75) of the UCC for the sole and limited
purpose of perfecting the Liens granted to the Subordinated Lienholder in any
Deposit Account Collateral to the extent that the Agent is a party to, and the
Subordinated Lienholder is not a party to, a control agreement contemplated by
Section 9-105(a)(2) of the UCC perfecting the Liens of the Agent in such Deposit
Account Collateral, and in any Possessory Collateral. In connection with the
Agent's acting as such collateral agent for the Subordinated Lienholder

<PAGE>

                  3.1 No Liability of the Agent. All Liens held by the Agent in
the Possessory Collateral and the Deposit Account Collateral in its capacity as
collateral agent for the Subordinated Lienholder shall be subject to, and any
proceeds of the Possessory Collateral and the Deposit Account Collateral shall
be distributed to the Lienholders in accordance with, the provisions of this
Agreement. In its capacity as collateral agent, the Agent shall have no duties
or responsibilities of any kind or nature and it shall not be liable to the
Subordinated Lienholder for any action taken or omitted to be taken under or in
connection with this Agreement or any of the Documents.

                  3.2 No Warranties or Representations. Except as otherwise
specifically set forth in this Agreement, the Agent does not make to the

guarantee with respect to the Obligations, the Collateral, the Documents or any
Credit Party. The Agent shall not be responsible to the Subordinated Lienholder
for (i) the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability
of, any of the Documents; (ii) the validity, genuineness, enforceability,
collectibility, value, sufficiency or existence of any Collateral, or the
perfection or priority of any Lien therein; or (iii) the assets, liabilities,
financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal
status of any Credit Party.

                  3.3 Indemnity. The Subordinated Lienholder agrees to indemnify
and defend the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties, but
without limiting the indemnification obligations of the Credit Parties under the
Documents), and to hold the Agent harmless from and against, any and all claims,
demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) which may
be imposed on, incurred by or asserted or initiated against the Agent in any way
arising out of its acting as collateral agent for the Subordinated Lienholder
with respect to any of the Possessory Collateral and the Deposit Account
Collateral (and not arising out of the Agent's acting in any other capacity),
provided that the Subordinated Lienholder shall not be liable to the Agent for
any of the foregoing to the extent that they result solely from the willful
misconduct or gross negligence of the Agent.

                  3.4 Exclusive Instructions of Subordinated Lienholder. After
all of the Senior Lienholders Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full
and the Agent and the Senior Lienholders shall have no further obligation for
the incurring of additional Senior Lienholders Obligations, the Agent shall send
to each bank that is a party to the control agreement among the Agent, the
Subordinated Lienholder and such bank, a notice as permitted by such control
agreement that the bank is authorized to honor instructions originated by the
Subordinated Lienholder directing disposition of the funds in such deposit
account.

         4. Notices of Default. The Agent shall give the Subordinated Lienholder
notice of default, termination, demand, acceleration, exercise of remedies and
any other notice which is of a like nature or required to be given under the
Senior Lienholders Documents or by law, and the Subordinated Lienholder shall
give the Agent notice of any default, termination, demand, acceleration,
exercise of remedies and any other notice which is of a like nature or required
to be given under the Subordinated Lienholder Documents or by law, in each case
concurrently with the giving of such notice to the Borrowers or any of the other
Credit Parties; provided, however,

                                       9

<PAGE>

that no failure of either party to give such notice shall (a) affect the
validity of such notice as to the Credit Parties or affect the relative
priorities of the Liens established in Section 2 hereof or (b) create the basis
for any liability of one Lienholder to the other Lienholder or the Agent to the
Subordinated Lienholder.

         5. Application of Proceeds of Collateral. All proceeds of the
Collateral received by or for the account of the Lienholders (whether by sale,
casualty, condemnation or other disposition of the Collateral), shall be
distributed to the Lienholders and applied as follows:

                  First, to the Agent for application to all of the Senior
         Lienholders Obligations, except for the Senior Lienholders Excluded
         Obligations, even if the total amount of the Senior Lienholders
         Obligations exceeds the amount of the Senior Secured Debt Cap;

                  Second, after all of the Senior Lienholders Obligations other
         than the Senior Lienholders Excluded Obligations have been paid and
         satisfied in full and the Agent and the Senior Lienholders shall have
         no further obligation for the incurring of additional Senior
         Lienholders Obligations, to the Subordinated Lienholder for application
         to the Subordinated Lienholder Obligations; and

                  Third, after all of the Subordinated Lienholder Obligations
         have been paid and satisfied in full and Subordinated Lienholder shall
         have no further obligation for the incurring of additional Subordinated
         Lienholder Obligations, to the Agent for application to the Senior
         Lienholders Excluded Obligations.

         6. Enforcement of Liens and Remedies Block; No Debt Subordination.

                  6.1 Enforcement of Liens and Remedies Block. The Subordinated
Lienholder agrees that, unless and until all of the Senior Lienholders
Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full and the Agent and the Senior
Lienholders have no further obligation for the incurring of additional Senior
Lienholders Obligations, without the prior written consent of the Agent, the
Subordinated Lienholder will not take any action with respect to the Collateral,
whether by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure, notification to account debtors
or other obligors on the Collateral, taking or obtaining possession of any of
the Collateral, or otherwise realizing upon the whole or any part of the
Collateral (the foregoing, a "Remedies Block"), until such time as (a) a
Subordinated Lender Material Event of Default shall occur, (b) the Subordinated
Lender shall give the Credit Parties and the Agent written notice of the
occurrence of such Subordinated Lender Material Event of Default, and (c) within
one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the Agent's receipt of such
written notice, neither the Credit Parties nor the Agent or the Senior
Lienholders on behalf of the Credit Parties cures such Subordinated Lender
Material Event of Default, unless, within such one hundred eighty (180) day
period, the Agent commences and diligently pursues a liquidation or foreclosure
of the Collateral (such liquidation or foreclosure, an "Enforcement Action"), in
which event the Remedies Block shall continue in full force and effect until the
liquidation or foreclosure is concluded, or all of the Senior Lienholders
Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full and the Agent and the Senior
Lienholders have no further obligation for the incurring of additional Senior
Lienholders Obligations, whichever shall occur first. The Agent and the Senior
Lienholders shall have the right, but not any

                                       10

<PAGE>

obligation, to cure any Subordinated Lienholder Event of Default under the
Subordinated Lienholder Loan Documents at any time.

                  6.2 No Debt Subordination. Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall constitute a subordination of the Subordinated Lienholder Obligations to
the prior payment in full of the Senior Lienholders Obligations. Notwithstanding
the existence of a Remedies Block, unless an Enforcement Action is pending, this
Agreement shall not prohibit a Credit Party from making any regularly scheduled
or other ordinary course voluntary payments on the Subordinated Lienholder
Obligations in accordance with the Subordinated Lienholder Documents, other than
from the proceeds of Collateral, as permitted by Section 8.3 hereof.

         7. Exercise of Remedies. In the event of commencement of foreclosure
under the Senior Lienholders Documents, the following provisions shall apply:

                  7.1 Collateral. The Agent shall have the exclusive right to
sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or exercise any other
right or remedy with respect thereto as provided in the Senior Lienholders
Documents or by applicable law in the manner deemed appropriate by the Agent
without regard to the Subordinated Lienholder's Liens therein, and the
Subordinated Lienholder will not hinder the Agent's actions in enforcing its
remedies with respect to the Collateral.

                  7.2 No Liability of the Agent or the Senior Lienholders. The
Agent and the Senior Lienholders shall have no liability to the Subordinated
Lienholder for, and the Subordinated Lienholder waives any claim which it may
have at any time against the Agent and the Senior Lienholders, arising out of or
related to any actions which the Agent or the Senior Lienholders take or omit to
take with respect to the Collateral or the Senior Lienholders Obligations
secured thereby, except for such actions taken or omitted to be taken by the
Agent or the Senior Lienholders through willful misconduct or gross negligence.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent and the Senior
Lienholders may, without regard to the existence of any rights the Subordinated
Lienholder may now or hereafter have in and to any of the Collateral (other than
the rights of the Subordinated Lienholder to notices under this Agreement or as
may be required by applicable law): (a) compromise, settle, adjust and in
general deal in any manner with the Collateral, including, without limitation,
the account debtors and other obligors indebted thereon, as the Agent may deem
appropriate, upon such terms and conditions (including the length of time
incidental thereto) as the Agent may deem appropriate, (b) engage third parties
to assist the Agent and the Senior Lienholders in the effectuation of the
liquidation, collection or foreclosure of the Collateral, and (c) incur such
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incidental thereto as the Agent and/or the
Senior Lienholders may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, fees and
disbursements of counsel to the Agent and the Senior Lienholders and any other
third party professionals engaged by any of them. The Subordinated Lienholder
irrevocably waives any right it may have, whether at law or in equity, to assert
any claim or bring any action, suit or proceeding against the Agent or the
Senior Lienholders or to raise any affirmative defense, claim or counterclaim in
any action brought against it by the Agent or the Senior Lienholders, the effect
of which is to contest the commercial reasonableness of the decisions or actions
of the Agent or the Senior Lienholders (whether made or taken alone or through
any of its agents or representatives) with respect to the Collateral.

                                       11

<PAGE>

                  7.3 Preservation of Liens. Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall be deemed to prohibit the Subordinated Lienholder from intervening or
participating in any judicial proceeding to the extent necessary to establish or
preserve its Liens in the Collateral, so long as such intervention or
participation does not interfere with the foregoing rights of the Agent and the
Senior Lienholders, or from bidding or being the buyer of any Collateral at any
private or public foreclosure sale conducted by the Agent under the Senior
Lienholders Documents.

         8. Receipt of Monies.

                  8.1 By the Subordinated Lienholder. The Subordinated
Lienholder agrees that should it receive contrary to the provisions of this
Agreement any monies from the sale, liquidation, casualty or other disposition
of or as a result of its Lien in the Collateral, it will (unless otherwise
restricted by law) hold the same for the Senior Lienholders and promptly pay
over the same to the Agent for application to the Senior Lienholders Obligations
in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 of this Agreement.

                  8.2 By the Agent. The Agent agrees that should it receive
contrary to the provisions of this Agreement any monies from the sale,
liquidation, casualty or other disposition of or as a result of its Lien in the
Collateral, it will (unless otherwise restricted by law) hold the same for the
Subordinated Lienholder and promptly pay over the same to the Subordinated
Lienholder for application to the Subordinated Lienholder Obligations in
accordance with the provisions of Section 5 of this Agreement.

                  8.3 Voluntary Payments. It is understood and agreed that
Sections 8.1 and 8.2 hereof relate only to proceeds of Collateral, and shall not
apply to amounts received by the Subordinated Lienholder or the Agent on behalf
of the Senior Lienholders as regularly scheduled or other ordinary course
voluntary payments by or on behalf of the Credit Parties under the Documents.

         9. Options to Purchase Obligations.

                  9.1 If there shall occur a Senior Lienholders Event of Default
and, in consequence thereof, the Agent shall accelerate and declare immediately
due and owing the Senior Lienholder Obligations and commence an Enforcement
Action (the foregoing, the "Option Triggering Event"), then:

                  (a) the Subordinated Lienholder shall have the option,
exercisable by a written notice (an "Exercise Notice") given by the Subordinate
Lienholder to the Agent no later than thirty (30) days after the occurrence of
the Option Triggering Event (such thirty (30) day period, the "Option Period"),
to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Senior Lenders Obligations which
are owing by the Credit Parties to the Agent and the Senior Lienholders and the
Senior Lienholders Documents; and

                  (b) CITBC, acting either for itself and/or its assigns or as
the Agent on behalf of one or more of the Senior Lienholders, shall have the
option, exercisable by a Exercise Notice given by CITBC to the Subordinated
Lienholder no later than thirty (30) days after the receipt by CITBC of the
Exercise Notice given by the Subordinate Lienholder, to purchase all

                                       12

<PAGE>

(but not less than all) of the Subordinated Lienholder Obligations which are
owing by the Credit Parties to the Subordinated Lienholder and the Subordinated
Lienholders Documents.

                  (c) Except as otherwise specifically set forth in Section 9.3
hereof, once given, an Exercise Notice shall be irrevocable. The option granted
hereby to the Subordinated Lienholder shall lapse and be of no further force and
effect unless exercised by the Subordinated Lienholder before the expiration of
the Option Period.

                  9.2 On a closing date (the "Closing Date") specified in the
Exercise Notice (which shall be, in the case of an Exercise Notice given by the
Subordinated Lienholder, no earlier than thirty (30) days nor more than forty
five (45) days after the giving by the Subordinated Lienholder of the Exercise
Notice, and, in the case of an Exercise Notice given by CITBC, no earlier than
five (5) Business Days nor more than thirty (30) days after the giving by CITBC
of the Exercise Notice), except as otherwise set forth in Section 9.3 below, the
Subordinated Lienholder or the Agent and the Senior Lienholders, as the case may
be, shall sell (a "Selling Party"), and the Subordinated Lienholder or CITBC
and/or its assigns or one or more of the Senior Lienholders (a "Purchasing
Party") shall purchase, for a purchase price and otherwise on terms and
conditions as set forth in this Section 9, all (but not less than all) of the
Obligations owing to the Selling Party and the Documents with respect thereto.

                  9.3 If the Subordinated Lienholder gives an Exercise Notice,
then CITBC, no later than five (5) days before the Closing Date set forth in the
Subordinated Lienholder's Exercise Notice, may do any one of the following:

                  (a) CITBC may give an Exercise Notice to the Subordinated
Lienholder, in which case the Exercise Notice previously given by the
Subordinated Lienholder to CITBC shall be of no further force and effect, and
the Subordinated Lienholder shall be required to sell to CITBC and/or its
assigns or one or more of the Senior Lienholders, and CITBC and/or its assigns
or one or more of the Senior Lienholders shall be required to purchase from the
Subordinated Lienholder, on the Closing Date set forth in CITBC's Exercise
Notice, the Subordinated Lienholder Obligations and the Subordinated Lienholder
Documents with respect thereto in accordance with the provisions of this Section
9; or

                  (b) CITBC may, by written notice given to the Subordinated
Lienholder, refuse on behalf of itself and the Senior Lienholders to sell, in
which event the Subordinated Lienholder shall have the right, exercisable by
written notice given to CITBC no later than five (5) days after CITBC's giving
of such refusal notice to the Subordinated Lienholder, to proceed to purchase
the Senior Lienholder Obligations owing to the Agent and the Senior Lienholders
and the Senior Lienholders Documents, for the purchase price set forth in
Section 9.4 below, which shall include any applicable Senior Lienholders Early
Termination Fee. If the Subordinated Lienholder does not give CITBC such a
timely notice to proceed, then automatically and without any further action on
the part of CITBC or the Subordinated Lender, the Subordinated Lienholder's
earlier Exercise Notice shall be deemed withdrawn and rescinded; or

                  (c) Take neither of the actions set forth in Sections 9.3(a)
or (b), in which event the Exercise Notice given by the Subordinated Lienholder
shall remain in effect and on the

                                       13

<PAGE>

Closing Date set forth therein the Agent and the Senior Lienholders shall sell
to the Subordinated Lienholder all of the Senior Lienholders Obligations owing
to the Agent and the Senior Lienholders and the Senior Lienholders Documents for
the purchase price set forth in Section 9.4 below, which shall not include any
applicable Senior Lienholders Early Termination Fee.

                  9.4 On the Closing Date, the Purchasing Party shall (i) pay to
the Selling Party as the purchase price the full amount of all the Obligations
owing to the Selling Party which are then outstanding and unpaid (including
principal, reimbursement obligations, interest, early termination fees or
prepayment premiums, fees, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees
and legal expenses, but, in the case where the Subordinated Lienholder is the
Purchasing Party, including or excluding any applicable Senior Lienholders Early
Termination Fee as set forth in Section 9.3 hereof), (ii) furnish cash
collateral to the Selling Party in such amounts as the Selling Party determines
is reasonably necessary to secure the Selling Party in connection with any
issued and outstanding letter of credit accommodations provided by the Selling
Party to or for the account of the Credit Parties (but not in any event in an
amount greater than 105% of the aggregate undrawn face amount of such letters of
credit), and (iii) agree to reimburse the Selling Party for any loss, cost,
damage, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses) in
connection with any commissions, fees, costs, or expenses related to any issued
and outstanding letters of credit as described above and any checks or other
payments provisionally credited to the Obligations owing to the Selling Party,
and/or as to which the Selling Party has not yet received final payment. Such
purchase price and cash collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in federal
funds to such bank account of the Selling Party, as the Selling Party may
designate in writing to the Purchasing Party for such purpose. Interest shall
be calculated to, but excluding, the Business Day on which such purchase and
sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by the Purchasing Party to the bank
account designated by the Selling Party are received in such bank account prior
to 1:00 p.m., Eastern time, and interest shall be calculated to, and including,
such Business Day if the amounts so paid by the Purchasing Party to the account
designated by the Selling Party are received in such bank account later than
1:00 p.m., Eastern time. On the Closing Date, the Selling Party shall also
execute and deliver such assignments, documents or other instruments that are
necessary or reasonably requested by the Purchasing Party to evidence or confirm
the sale, assignment and transfer to the Purchasing Party of the Obligations
owing to the Selling Party and the Documents relating thereto.

                  9.5 Such purchase shall be expressly made without
representation or warranty of any kind by the Selling Party as to the
Obligations owing to the Selling Party, the Documents with respect thereto, or
otherwise, and without recourse to the Selling Party, except for representations
and warranties as to the following: (i) the amount of the Obligations being
purchased (including, without limitation, as to the principal of and accrued and
unpaid interest on such Obligations, fees and expenses thereof), (ii) that the
Selling Party transfers the Obligations owing to the Selling Party and the
Documents with respect thereto free and clear of any Liens, and (iii) the
Selling Party has the full right and power to assign the Obligations owing to
the Selling Party, such assignment has been duly authorized, and no approval of
any governmental authority, other regulatory body, or other Person is required
in connection with such assignment.

                  9.6 CITBC and the Subordinated Lender hereby represents and
warrants to each other that, as of the date hereof, no approval of any
governmental authority, other

                                       14

regulatory body, or other person is required for any such sale made by it
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9 or Section 10 below.

         10. Hilco's Option to Purchase the Foreign Revolving Loans.

                  10.1 Not less than thirty (30) days before submitting a Claim
under the Ex-Im Bank Guarantee, the Agent shall send the Subordinated Lienholder
written notice of its intention to submit the same, and the Subordinated
Lienholder shall have the option, exercisable by a written notice (a "Foreign
Revolving Loans Exercise Notice") given to the Agent no later than fourteen (14)
days after the Subordinated Lienholder's receipt of such notice (such fourteen
(14) day period, the "Foreign Revolving Loans Option Period"), to purchase all
(but not less than all) of the Foreign Revolving Loans which are owing by the
Credit Parties to the Agent and the Senior Lienholders, and that portion of the
Senior Lienholders Documents relating to the Foreign Revolving Loans. Once given
by the Subordinated Lienholder, the Foreign Revolving Loans Exercise Notice
shall be irrevocable. The option granted hereby to the Subordinated Lienholder
shall lapse and be of no further force and effect unless exercised by the
Subordinated Lienholder before the expiration of the Foreign Revolving Loans
Option Period.

                  10.2 On a closing date (the " Foreign Revolving Loans Closing
Date") specified in the Foreign Revolving Loans Exercise Notice (which shall be
no later than the last day of the Foreign Revolving Loans Option Period, or, if
such day is not a Business Day, then the preceding Business Day), the Agent and
the Senior Lienholders shall sell, and the Subordinated Lienholder shall
purchase, for a purchase price and otherwise on terms and conditions as set
forth in this Section 10, all (but not less than all) of the Foreign Revolving
Loans which are owing by the Credit Parties to the Agent and the Senior
Lienholders, and that portion of the Senior Lienholders Documents relating to
the Foreign Revolving Loans.

                  10.3 On the Foreign Revolving Loans Closing Date, the
Subordinated Lienholder shall pay to the Agent as the purchase price the full
amount of the principal of, and the interest on, all the Foreign Revolving Loans
owing to the Agent and the Senior Lienholders which are then outstanding, and
all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, incurred by the Agent in connection with the collection of the Foreign
Revolving Loans, or in prosecuting any suit, litigation, arbitration or
proceeding against a Credit Party with respect to the enforcement of the Foreign
Revolving Loans, or in the protection of the Foreign Borrowing Base Collateral.
Such purchase price shall be remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such
bank account of the Agent as the Agent may designate in writing to the
Subordinated Lienholder for such purpose. Interest shall be calculated to, but
excluding, the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the
amounts so paid by the Subordinated Lienholder to the bank account designated by
the Agent are received in such bank account prior to 1:00 p.m., Eastern time,
and interest shall be calculated to, and including, such Business Day if the
amounts so paid by the Subordinated Lienholder to the account designated by the
Agent are received in such bank account later than 1:00 p.m., Eastern time. In
consideration of such purchase, the Agent shall subordinate its Liens in the
Foreign Borrowing Base Collateral to the Liens of the Subordinated Lienholder
therein as security for the purchased Foreign Revolving Loans. On the Foreign
Revolving Loans Closing Date, the Agent shall also execute and deliver such
assignments, documents or other instruments that are necessary or reasonably
requested by the Subordinated Lienholder to (a) evidence or confirm the sale,

                                       15

<PAGE>

assignment and transfer to the Subordinated Lienholder of the Foreign Revolving
Loans owing to the Agent and the Senior Lienholders, and that portion of the
Senior Lienholders Documents relating to the Foreign Revolving Loans, and (b)
subordinate the Agent's Liens in the Foreign Borrowing Base Collateral to the
Liens of the Subordinated Lienholder therein as security for the purchased
Foreign Revolving Loans.

                  10.4 Such purchase shall be expressly made without
representation or warranty of any kind by the Agent or the Senior Lienholders as
to the Foreign Revolving Loans owing to the Agent or the Senior Lienholders,
that portion of the Senior Lienholders Documents relating thereto, or otherwise,
and without recourse to the Agent and the Senior Lienholders, except for
representations and warranties as to the following: (i) the amount of the
Foreign Revolving Loans being purchased (including, without limitation, as to
the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on such Foreign Revolving
Loans), (ii) that the Agent and the Senior Lienholders transfer the Foreign
Revolving Loans and that portion of the Senior Lienholders Documents relating
thereto free and clear of any Liens, and (iii) the Agent and the Senior
Lienholders have the full right and power to assign the Foreign Revolving Loans,
such assignment has been duly authorized, and no approval of any governmental
authority, other regulatory body, or other Person is required in connection with
such assignment.

                  10.5 Upon the closing of the sale of the Foreign Revolving
Loans to the Subordinated Lienholder pursuant to the terms of this Section 10,
the Agent shall be terminate the Ex-Im Bank Guarantee insofar as it includes the
Foreign Revolving Loans and thereafter make no Claim thereunder. If, for any
reason, the Subordinated Lienholder does not elect to purchase or, having timely
elected to purchase does not close the purchase of, the Foreign Revolving Loans
pursuant to this Section 10 by the expiration of the Foreign Revolving Loans
Option Period, then the Agent may at any time thereafter submit a Claim under
the Ex-Im Bank Guarantee and pursue all of its rights and remedies thereunder.

                  10.6 Upon the closing of the sale of the Foreign Revolving
Loans to the Subordinated Lienholder pursuant to the terms of this Section 10,
(a) the Agent shall subordinate its Liens in the Foreign Borrowing Base
Collateral to the Liens of the Subordinated Lienholder therein as security for
the purchased Foreign Revolving Loans, (b) the Subordinated Lienholder shall
have the right to enforce and otherwise take action to collect its Liens in the
Foreign Borrowing Base Collateral, and no Remedies Block then in existence shall
apply to the Foreign Borrowing Base Collateral, and (c) all proceeds of the
Foreign Borrowing Base Collateral thereafter received by the Agent or the
Subordinated Lienholder shall be distributed to the Lienholders and applied as
follows:

                  First, to the Subordinated Lienholder for application to the
         Foreign Receivables Loans, and all interest, fees, indemnities and
         expenses related thereto or incurred by the Subordinated Lienholder in
         connection with the collection or enforcement thereof;

                  Second, to the remaining balance of the Senior Lienholders
         Obligations, except for the Senior Lienholders Excluded Obligations,
         even if the total amount of the remaining balance of the Senior
         Lienholders Obligations exceeds the amount of the Senior Secured Debt
         Cap;

                                       16

<PAGE>

                  Third, after the remaining balance of the Senior Lienholders
         Obligations other than the Senior Lienholders Excluded Obligations have
         been paid and satisfied in full and the Agent and the Senior
         Lienholders shall have no further obligation for the incurring of
         additional Senior Lienholders Obligations, to the Subordinated
         Lienholder for application to the Subordinated Lienholder Obligations;
         and

                  Fourth, after all of the Subordinated Lienholder Obligations
         have been paid and satisfied in full and Subordinated Lienholder shall
         have no further obligation for the incurring of additional Subordinated
         Lienholder Obligations, to the Agent for application to the Senior
         Lienholders Excluded Obligations.

         11. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon a Lienholder,

the purposes set forth above, and neither Lienholder assumes any responsibility
to the other Lienholder to advise the other Lienholder of information known to
such Lienholder regarding the financial condition of the Credit Parties, or
regarding the Collateral, or of any other circumstances bearing upon the risk of
nonpayment of the Obligations of the Credit Parties under the Senior Lienholders
Documents and the Subordinated Lienholder Documents, respectively. Each
Lienholder shall be responsible for managing its relationship with the Credit
Parties, and, except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, neither
Lienholder shall be deemed the agent of the other for any purpose.

         13. Waiver of Marshalling. Each Lienholder hereby waives any right to
require the other Lienholder to marshall any security or collateral or otherwise
to compel the other Lienholder to seek recourse against or satisfaction of the
indebtedness and obligations owed to it from one source before seeking recourse
or satisfaction from another source.

         14. Provisions Concerning Insurance, Condemnation and Landlord's
Agreements. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of any of the Documents, the
Lienholders agree as follows with respect to any Insurance or Condemnation
Proceeds and the Landlord's Agreements:

                  14.1 Insurance Generally. Each Lienholder agrees that the
other Lienholder shall be entitled to obtain loss payee endorsements and
additional insured status with respect to all policies of insurance now or
hereafter obtained by the Credit Parties insuring casualty or other loss to any
property of the Credit Parties in which either Lienholder may have a Lien. The
Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against the Subordinated
Lienholder, to file claims, make adjustments and settlements of insurance claims
and take any and all other actions in regard thereto in the event of any covered
loss, theft or destruction of any Collateral. The rights and priorities of the
Lienholders to any Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds shall be as provided in
this Agreement.

                  14.2 Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds. Any Insurance or
Condemnation Proceeds with respect to the Collateral shall be deemed part of the
Collateral, and the rights and priorities of the Lienholders to any Insurance or
Condemnation Proceeds with respect to the Collateral shall be the same as with
respect to the Collateral. All Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds shall be paid
to the Agent and the Subordinated Lienholder shall cooperate (if necessary) in a
reasonable manner in effecting the payment of Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds
to the Agent. In the event the Agent, in its sole discretion or pursuant to
agreement with the Credit Parties, permits the Credit Parties to utilize all or
any Insurance or Condemnation

                                       18

<PAGE>

Proceeds to replace Collateral, the consent of the Agent thereto shall be deemed
to include the consent of the Subordinated Lienholder. The Subordinated
Lienholder agrees to execute such consents, releases, endorsements and other
documents as may be reasonably necessary to accomplish the application of such
Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds, all without any additional consideration or
payment to the Subordinated Lienholder.

                  14.3 Landlord Agreements. All consents granted and decisions
made by the Agent under each Landlord Agreement shall be conclusive and binding
upon the Subordinated Lienholder. The Subordinated Lienholder agrees to execute
such consents, releases, and other documents as may be reasonably necessary to
accomplish or implement any decisions made by the Agent under a Landlord
Agreement, all without any additional consideration or payment to the
Subordinated Lienholder.

         15. Further Assurances. The Credit Parties and the Lienholders shall
each execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional
actions as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the provisions and purposes
of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a
Lienholder purchases all or any part of the Obligations pursuant to Sections 10
or 11 hereof, then the other Lienholder shall take such action as may be
reasonably requested by the purchasing Lienholder to aid and assist, or join
with the requesting Lienholder, in the enforcement or collection of the
transferred Obligations or the Liens securing the same. All out of pocket
expenses of the other Lienholder incurred in connection therewith shall be
additional Obligations owing by the Credit Parties to such Lienholder and
secured by the Collateral. If requested by a Lienholder, the Lienholders shall
execute filings to be recorded in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code
provisions in the appropriate locations reflecting the provisions of this
Agreement.

         16. Parties; Successors and Assigns. No Lienholder shall transfer or
assign any of the Obligations owing to such Lienholder except upon receipt of a
written acknowledgment and agreement from such transferee or assignee which
acknowledgment and agreement shall be reasonably acceptable in form and
substance to the other Lienholder and bind such assignee and transferee and all
successive assignees and transferees to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit
of, the Lienholders and their respective successors and assigns.

         17. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the Lienholders and no other Person (including each Credit
Party), and their respective successors and assigns, shall have standing to
require satisfaction of the provisions hereof or be entitled to assume
compliance herewith, and no other Person (including each Credit Party) shall
under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of any of the terms hereof
or be entitled to assume that the Lienholders will insist upon strict compliance
with any of such terms, any or all of which may be freely waived or amended in
whole or in part by the Lienholders at any time if they in their sole discretion
deem it advisable to do so.

         18. Injunctive Relief. Each Lienholder agrees that in the event it is
in breach of any of its obligations hereunder, the other Lienholder may obtain
an injunction in a court of competent jurisdiction against any act or acts
constituting such breach, and both Lienholders

                                       19

<PAGE>

consent to be bound thereby. Such injunction shall be without prejudice to the
enjoining Lienholder's rights to seek additional remedies at law or at equity.

         19. Post Bankruptcy Issues.

                  19.1 This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect
during the term set forth herein, notwithstanding the commencement by or against
a Credit Party of an Insolvency Proceeding during the pendency of which, so long
as the Subordinated Lienholder Obligations and the Senior Lienholders
Obligations have not been fully and indefeasibly paid and satisfied, all of the
terms and provisions hereof shall remain and continue in full force and effect.

                  19.2 In an Insolvency Proceeding, the Subordinated Lienholder
shall not contest (or support any other party contesting) any request of any
Credit Party made with the consent of the Agent for use of cash collateral or
for approval of any DIP financing to be provided in good faith by the Senior
Lienholders to such Credit Party, on the grounds of a failure to provide
"adequate protection" for the Liens of the Subordinated Lienholder so long as
(i) the Subordinated Lienholder is provided with replacement Liens on the same
types and items of property included in the Collateral that existed before the
commencement of the Insolvency Proceeding, (ii) the Liens granted to the Agent
and the Subordinated Lienholder in the Insolvency Proceeding have the same
priority, and are otherwise subject to, and have the benefit of, the same terms,
limitations, and restrictions, that are set forth in this Agreement, and (iii)
in the case of any DIP financing to be provided by the Agent and the Senior
Lienholders in such Insolvency Proceeding, the DIP financing to be provided
thereunder shall not be provided on terms and conditions not inconsistent with
the financing provided pursuant to the Senior Lienholders Loan Agreement, as
limited by the terms of this Agreement.

         20. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect and shall be irrevocable by either Lienholder until the earliest to occur
of the following: (i) the Lienholders in writing mutually agree to terminate
this Agreement; (ii) the Senior Lienholders Obligations have been fully paid and
discharged and the Agent and the Senior Lienholders shall have no further
obligation for the incurring of additional Senior Lienholders Obligations, and
the Agent shall have fully paid and performed its obligations under this
Agreement; or (iii) the Subordinated Lienholder Obligations have been fully paid
and discharged and the Subordinated Lienholder shall have no further obligation
for the incurring of additional Subordinated Lienholder Obligations, and the
Subordinated Lienholder shall have fully paid and performed its obligations
under this Agreement.

         21. Section Titles. The section titles contained in this Agreement are
without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part
of the agreement between the parties hereto.

         22. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted, and the rights
and liabilities of the parties hereto determined, in accordance with the laws
and decisions of the State of North Carolina.

                                       20

         23. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts with the same effect as if all of the signatures on such
counterparts appeared on one document, and each such counterpart shall be deemed
to be an original.

         24. Authority. Each Lienholder represents to the other Lienholder that
it has all necessary right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and
perform and observe all of its covenants and agreements herein contained and
that this Agreement is valid and binding upon it and enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws
affecting enforcement rights generally.

         25. Miscellaneous. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding
of the Lienholders with respect to the subject matter hereof and any prior
agreements, whether oral or written, with respect thereto are superseded hereby.
In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the
terms of any of the Documents, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and
control. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision in or
obligation under this Agreement shall not affect or impair the validity,
legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations under this
Agreement.

         26. CONSENT TO FORUM. EACH LIENHOLDER HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT
THE SUPERIOR COURT OF MECKLENBURG COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, OR THE UNITED STATES
DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHARLOTTE DIVISION,
SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES
BETWEEN THE LIENHOLDERS PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING
OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS
IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION, AND HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY
HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON
CONVENIENS.

         27. WAIVERS OF TRIAL BY JURY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, THE LIENHOLDERS HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY
WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY THE LIENHOLDERS MAY HAVE IN ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING, IN LAW OR IN EQUITY, IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.
