              (b)    to file any claim or take any action or institute any
       proceedings that the Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the
       collection of any of the GE Capital Equipment Collateral or otherwise to
       enforce the rights of the Agent with respect to any of the GE Capital
       Equipment Collateral; and

              (c)    generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement
       with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the GE Capital Equipment
       Collateral as fully and completely as though the Agent were the absolute
       owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Agent's option and the
       Grantors' expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things
       that the Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the
       GE Capital Equipment Collateral and the Agent's security interest
       therein, in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully
       and effectively as such Grantor might do.

       SECTION 6. THE AGENT'S DUTIES AND LIABILITIES.

              (a)    The powers conferred on the Agent hereunder are solely to
       protect Citicorp's interest in the GE Capital Equipment Collateral and
       shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for
       the safe custody of any GE Capital Equipment Collateral in its possession
       and the accounting for monies actually received by it hereunder, the
       Agent shall have no duty as to any GE Capital Equipment Collateral or as
       to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior
       parties or any other rights pertaining to any GE Capital Equipment
       Collateral. The Agent shall be deemed to exercise reasonable care in the
       custody and preservation of such GE Capital Equipment Collateral if such
       GE Capital Equipment Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal
       to that which the Agent accords its own property.

              (b)    The Agent and Citicorp shall not be liable to the Grantors
       (i) for any loss or damage sustained by them, or (ii) for any loss,
       damage, depreciation or other diminution in the value of any of the GE
       Capital Equipment Collateral that may occur as a result of or in
       connection with or that is in any way related to (x) any exercise by the
       Agent or Citicorp of any right or remedy under this Agreement or (y) any
       other act of or failure to act by the Agent or Citicorp, except to the
       extent that the same shall be determined by a judgment of a court of
       competent jurisdiction to be the result of acts or omissions on the part
       of the Agent or


                                      - 6 -
<PAGE>

       Citicorp constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct.

              (c)    No claim may be made by the Grantors against the Agent,
       Citicorp or their respective affiliates, partners, directors, officers,
       employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, or
       consequential damages in respect of any breach or wrongful conduct
       (whether the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by
       law) in connection with, arising out of or in any way related to the
       transactions contemplated and relationship established by this Agreement,
       or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and the
       Grantors hereby waive, release and agree not to sue upon any such claim
       for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or
       suspected to exist in its favor.

       SECTION 7. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any Event of Default
under and as defined in the Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, or
if any representation or warranty made by any Grantor in Section 3 of this
Agreement shall prove to have been inaccurate in any material respect as of the
date hereof, or the occurrence of any breach of any covenant, which is not cured
within 30 days following notice to the Grantors from the Agent or Citicorp,
contained in Section 3 of this Agreement shall constitute an "Event of Default".

       SECTION 8. REMEDIES. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Agent may, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, exercise in
respect of the GE Capital Equipment Collateral, (a) all the rights and remedies
of a secured party in default under the Code, whether or not the Code applies to
the affected GE Capital Equipment Collateral, (b) all of the rights and remedies
provided for in this Agreement and any other agreement between the Grantors and
(i) the Agent for the benefit of Citicorp or (ii) Citicorp and (c) such other
rights and remedies as may be provided by law or otherwise (such rights and
remedies of the Agent for the benefit of Citicorp or of Citicorp to be
cumulative and non-exclusive).

       SECTION 9. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Subject to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, and except as expressly provided elsewhere in this
Agreement, all proceeds received by the Agent in respect of any sale of,
collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the GE Capital

       Agent in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder;

              (b)    To the payment of the GE Capital Obligations in such order
       as GE Capital shall elect;

              (c)    To the payment of the Credit Agreement Obligations in such

              (d)    To the payment to or upon the order of the Grantors, or
       whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of
       competent jurisdiction may direct, any surplus then remaining from such
       proceeds.

       SECTION 10. INDEMNITY AND EXPENSES.

              (a)    The Grantors agree to indemnify the Agent and Citicorp from
       and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities arising out of or
       resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement

       Citicorp resulting from the Agent's or Citicorp's gross negligence or
       willful misconduct, as the case may be.

              (b)    The Grantors will, upon demand, pay to the Agent and

       connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the
       custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection
       from, or other realization upon, any of the GE Capital Equipment
