                                      -2-
<PAGE>

         (a) The security interest in the Collateral granted by the Debtor to
the Collateral Agent hereunder is and shall at all times be fully subject and
subordinated to the prior liens and security interests granted by the Debtor and
its subsidiaries to all persons, firms or corporations (collectively, "Senior
Lenders") who have extended credit or made loans to Debtor and/or its
subsidiaries under lines of credit, notes payable and term loans (a) as
disclosed in footnotes 10, 11 and 12 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements of Debtor as at February 28, 2001 and for the fiscal year then ended,
and (b) for any period subsequent to March 1, 2001 through the date hereof, as
disclosed on Schedule B annexed hereto and made a part hereof and any
refinancings or restatements of any such indebtedness (collectively, the "Senior
Debt"), and (c) such other miscellaneous liens and security interests on other
non-material assets and properties as may be determined pursuant to a lien and
judgment search (collectively, the "Existing Liens and Security Interests"). The
Collateral Agent shall have no right to foreclose on the Collateral or transfer
any of the Collateral into the name of the Collateral Agent unless and until
either (i) all Senior Debt shall have been paid in full, or (ii) the Collateral
Agent and the holders of Senior Debt shall have executed and delivered an
intercreditor and subordination agreement in form and content satisfactory to
the holders of such Senior Debt. . If and to the extent required by any Senior
Lender, the Collateral Agent agrees to execute and deliver in favor of such
Senior Lender, such intercreditor and subordination agreements as may be
required to acknowledge that the Lenders' and Collateral Agents rights under
this Security Agreement and in the Collateral are subject to the prior payment
in full of all Senior Debt to the Senor Lender(s), but only to the extent
secured by specified Collateral.

         (b) In lieu of the grant of a security interest in the Collateral,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Security Agreement,
if the Collateral Agent shall request in writing within twenty (20) days after
the effective date of this Security Agreement (the "Collateral Substitution
Date"), Debtor substitute all of the Collateral referred to in this Agreement by
the pledge to the Collateral Agent of 100% of the capital stock of MAX Systems
Group, Inc. ("MAX"), a wholly owned- subsidiary of Debtor. The Debtor represents
that it currently owns and on the Collateral Substitution Date will own 100% of
the outstanding shares of capital stock of MAX free and clear of all Liens,
pledges or other encumbrances. In the event that the Collateral Agent elects to
substitute Collateral through a pledge of the Capital Stock of MAX, upon
execution and delivery of a pledge agreement between Debtor , as pledgor, and
the Collateral Agent, as pledgee, and delivery to the Collateral Agent of the
100% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of MAX, duly endorsed for
transfer (the "MAX Stock"); all in form and content satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent, this Security Agreement shall terminate and be of no further
force or effect. Failure by Debtor to comply with the provisions of this Section
4(b) shall be deemed to be an Event of Default under the Notes.

5. Perfection of Security Interest.

         Unless otherwise terminated in accordance with Section 4(b) above,
within twenty (20) days from the date of this Agreement, Debtor shall execute
and deliver to the Collateral Agent UCC-1 Financing Statements and other
documents required to be filed in Canada ("Financing Statements") relating to
the security interests in Debtor's right, title and interest in and to the
Collateral. Debtor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file such Financing
Statements at the Debtor's expense, in such filing locations as the Collateral
Agent deems appropriate.

6. Distribution on Liquidation.

         6.1 If any sum is paid as a liquidating distribution on or with respect
to the Collateral, Debtor shall deliver same to the Collateral Agent to be
applied to the Obligations then due, in accordance with the terms of the Notes.

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

         6.2 Prior to any Event of Default (as defined herein), Debtor shall be
entitled to exercise all voting power pertaining to any of the Collateral,
provided such exercise is not contrary to the interests of the Lenders and does
not impair the Collateral.

7. Further Action By Debtor; Covenants and Warranties.

         7.1 Collateral Agent at all times shall have a perfected security
interest in the Collateral. Subject to the security interests of the Senior
Lenders described herein and other immaterial liens and security interests
(collectively, the "Prior Liens"), Debtor has and will continue to have full
title to the Collateral free from any liens, leases, encumbrances, judgments or
other claims. Debtor will do all acts and things, and will execute and file all
instruments (including, but not limited to, security agreements, financing
statements, continuation statements, etc.) reasonably requested by Collateral
Agent to establish, maintain and continue the perfected security interest of
Collateral Agent in the Collateral, and will promptly on demand, pay all costs
and expenses of filing and recording, including the costs of any searches
reasonably deemed necessary by Collateral Agent from time to time to establish
and determine the validity and the continuing priority of the security interest
of Collateral Agent, and also pay all other claims and charges that, in the
opinion of Collateral Agent, exercised in good faith, is reasonably likely to
materially prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the Collateral or its security
interest therein.

         7.2 Other than with respect to the purchase and sale of inventory or
otherwise in the ordinary course of business, and except for Collateral which
has become obsolete or is of inconsequential in value, Debtor will not sell,
transfer, assign or pledge those items of Collateral (or allow any such items to
be sold, transferred, assigned or pledged), without the prior written consent of
Collateral Agent. Although Proceeds of Collateral are covered by this Security
Agreement, this shall not be construed to mean that Collateral Agent consents to
any sale of the Collateral, except as provided herein.

         7.3 Debtor will, at all reasonable times, allow Collateral Agent or its
representatives free and complete access to all of Debtor 's records which in
any way relate to the Collateral, for such inspection and examination as
Collateral Agent reasonably deems necessary; provided, that any such inspection
shall not unreasonably interrupt the customary business operations of Debtor.

         7.4 Debtor, at its sole cost and expense, will protect and defend this
Security Agreement, all of the rights of Collateral Agent hereunder, and the
Collateral against the claims and demands of all other parties.

         7.5 Debtor will promptly notify Collateral Agent of any levy, distraint
or other seizure by legal process or otherwise of any part of the Collateral,
and of any threatened or filed claims or proceedings that are reasonably likely
to affect or impair any of the rights of Collateral Agent under this Security
Agreement.

         7.6 Debtor, at its own expense, will obtain and maintain in force
insurance policies covering losses or damage to those items of Collateral which
constitute physical personal property. The insurance policies to be obtained by
Debtor shall be in form and amounts reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent.
Debtor shall make the Collateral Agent a loss payee thereon to the extent of its
interest. Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably (until the Obligations are paid
in full) appointed Debtor's attorney-in-fact to endorse any check or draft that
may be payable to Debtor so that Collateral Agent may collect the proceeds
payable for any loss under such insurance. The proceeds of such insurance, less
any costs and expenses incurred or paid by Collateral Agent in the collection
thereof, shall be applied either toward the cost of the repair or replacement of
the items damaged or destroyed, or on account of any sums secured hereby,
whether or not then due or payable.

                                      -4-

         7.7 Collateral Agent may, at its option, and without any obligation to
do so, pay, perform and discharge any and all amounts, costs, expenses and
liabilities herein agreed to be paid or performed by Debtor, upon Debtor's
failure to do so, and all amounts expended by Collateral Agent in so doing shall
become part of the Obligations secured hereby, and shall be immediately due and
payable by Debtor to Collateral Agent upon demand and shall bear interest at 18%
per annum from the dates of such expenditures until paid.

         7.8 Upon the request of Collateral Agent, Debtor will furnish within
five (5) days thereafter to Collateral Agent, or to any proposed assignee of
this Security Agreement, a written statement in form reasonably satisfactory to
Collateral Agent, duly acknowledged, certifying the amount of the principal and
interest then owing under the Obligations, whether to its knowledge any claims,
offsets or defenses exist against the Obligations or against this Security
Agreement, or any of the terms and provisions of any other agreement of Debtor
securing the Obligations. In connection with any assignment by Collateral Agent
of this Security Agreement, Debtor hereby agrees to cause the insurance policies
required hereby to be carried by Debtor, if any, to be endorsed in form
satisfactory to Collateral Agent or to such assignee, with loss payable clauses
in favor of such assignee, and to cause such endorsements to be delivered to
Collateral Agent within ten (10) calendar days after request therefor by
Collateral Agent.

         7.9 The Debtor will, at its own expense, make, execute, endorse,
acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to time such
vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing
statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and
other assurances or instruments and take further steps relating to the
Collateral and other property or rights covered by the security interest hereby
granted, as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require to perfect its security
interest hereunder.

         7.10 Except for the Prior Liens, Debtor represents and warrants that it
is the true and lawful exclusive owner of the Collateral, free and clear of any
liens and encumbrances.

         7.11 Debtor hereby agrees not to divest itself of any right under the
Collateral absent prior written approval of the Collateral Agent.

8. Power of Attorney.

         Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent
as the true and lawful attorney of Debtor, with full power of substitution, in
the place and stead of Debtor and in the name of Debtor or otherwise, at any
time or times, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, to take any action and
to execute any instrument or document which the Collateral Agent may deem
necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement which Debtor
fails to take or fails to execute within five (5) business days of the
Collateral Agent's reasonable request therefor. This power of attorney is
coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

9. Performance By The Collateral Agent.

         If Debtor fails to perform any material covenant, agreement, duty or
obligation of Debtor under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent may, after any
applicable cure period, at any time or times in its discretion, take action to
effect performance of such obligation. All reasonable expenses of the Collateral
Agent incurred in connection with the foregoing authorization shall be payable
by Debtor as provided in Paragraph 13.1 hereof. No discretionary right, remedy
or power granted to the Collateral Agent under any part of this Agreement shall
be deemed to impose any obligation whatsoever on the Collateral Agent with
respect thereto, such rights, remedies and powers being solely for the
protection of the Collateral Agent.

                                      -5-

10. Event of Default.

         An event of default ("Event of Default") shall be deemed to have
occurred hereunder upon the occurrence of any event of default as defined in the
Notes or Subscription Agreement. Upon and after any Event of Default, after the
applicable cure period, if any, any or all of the Obligations shall become
immediately due and payable at the option of the Collateral Agent, for the
benefit of the Lenders, and the Collateral Agent may dispose of Collateral as
provided below. A default by Debtor of any of its obligations pursuant to this
Agreement shall be deemed an Event of Default hereunder and an event of default
as defined in the Obligations.

11. Disposition of Collateral.

         Upon and after any Event of Default which is then continuing, but
subject at all times to the prior rights of the Senior Lenders in and to the
Collateral:

         11.1 The Collateral Agent may exercise its rights with respect to each
and every component of the Collateral, without regard to the existence of any
other security or source of payment for the Obligations. In addition to other
rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, the
Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies of a lender on
default under the Uniform Commercial Code then in effect in the State of New
York.

         11.2 If any notice to Debtor of the sale or other disposition of
Collateral is required by then applicable law, five (5) days' prior notice (or,
if longer, the shortest period of time permitted by then applicable law) to
Debtor of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the time
after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made,
shall constitute reasonable notification.

         11.3 The Collateral Agent is authorized, at any such sale, if the
Collateral Agent deems it advisable to do so, in order to comply with any
applicable securities laws, to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to
persons who will represent and agree, among other things, that they are
purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment, and not with a
view to the distribution or resale thereof, or otherwise to restrict such sale
in such other manner as the Collateral Agent deems advisable to ensure such
compliance. Sales made subject to such restrictions shall be deemed to have been
made in a commercially reasonable manner.

         11.4 All cash proceeds received by the Collateral Agent for the benefit
of the Lenders in respect of any sale, collection or other enforcement or
disposition of Collateral, shall be applied (after deduction of any amounts
payable to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Paragraph 13.1 hereof) against the
Obligations pro rata among the Lenders in proportion to their interests in the
Obligations. Upon payment in full of all Obligations, Debtor shall be entitled
to the return of all Collateral, including cash, which has not been used or
applied toward the payment of Obligations or used or applied to any and all
costs or expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with the
liquidation of the Collateral (unless another person is legally entitled
thereto). Any assignment of Collateral by the Collateral Agent to Debtor shall
be without representation or warranty of any nature whatsoever and wholly
without recourse. Each Lender may purchase the Collateral and pay for such
purchase by offsetting any sums owed to such Lender by Debtor arising under the
Obligations or any other source.

12. [Intentionally Deleted]

13. Waiver of Automatic Stay. The Debtor acknowledges and agrees that should a
proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law be commenced by or against the
Debtor, or if any of the Collateral (as defined in this Security Agreement)
should become the subject of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, then the
Collateral Agent should be entitled to, among other relief to which the
Collateral Agent may be entitled under the Note, Security Agreement,
Subscription Agreement and any other agreement to which the Debtor, Lenders or
Collateral Agent are parties, (collectively "Loan Documents") and/or applicable
law, an order from the court granting immediate relief from the automatic stay
pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 362 to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise all
of its rights and remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents and/or applicable law.
THE DEBTOR EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE BENEFIT OF THE AUTOMATIC STAY IMPOSED BY 11
U.S.C. SECTION 362. FURTHERMORE, THE DEBTOR EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES
THAT NEITHER 11 U.S.C. SECTION 362 NOR ANY OTHER SECTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE
OR OTHER STATUTE OR RULE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, 11 U.S.C. SECTION 105)
SHALL STAY, INTERDICT, CONDITION, REDUCE OR INHIBIT IN ANY WAY THE ABILITY OF
THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO ENFORCE ANY OF ITS RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS AND/OR APPLICABLE LAW. The Debtor hereby consents to any motion for
relief from stay which may be filed by the Collateral Agent in any bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding initiated by or against the Debtor, and further agrees not
to file any opposition to any motion for relief from stay filed by the
Collateral Agent. The Debtor represents, acknowledges and agrees that this
provision is a specific and material aspect of this Agreement, and that the
Collateral Agent would not agree to the terms of this Agreement if this waiver
were not a part of this Agreement. The Debtor further represents, acknowledges
and agrees that this waiver is knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily made,
that neither the Collateral Agent nor any person acting on behalf of the
Collateral Agent has made any representations to induce this waiver, that the
Debtor has been represented (or has had the opportunity to be represented) in
the signing of this Agreement and in the making of this waiver by independent
legal counsel selected by the Debtor and that the Debtor has had the opportunity
to discuss this waiver with counsel. The Debtor further agrees that any
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding initiated by the Debtor will only be brought
in the Federal Court within the Southern District of New York.

14. Miscellaneous.

         14.1 Expenses. Debtor shall pay to the Collateral Agent, on demand, the
amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees, legal expenses and brokers' fees, which the Collateral Agent
may incur in connection with (a) sale, collection or other enforcement or
disposition of Collateral; (b) exercise or enforcement of any the rights,
remedies or powers of the Collateral Agent hereunder or with respect to any or
all of the Obligations; or (c) failure by Debtor to perform and observe any
agreements of Debtor contained herein which are performed by the Collateral
Agent.

         14.2 Waivers, Amendment and Remedies. No course of dealing by the
Collateral Agent and no failure by the Collateral Agent to exercise, or delay by
the Collateral Agent in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise thereof shall
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, remedy or power of the Collateral Agent. No amendment, modification or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent to any departure by
Debtor therefrom, shall, in any event, be effective unless contained in a
writing signed by the Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given. The rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent, not only
hereunder, but also under any instruments and agreements evidencing or securing
the Obligations and under applicable law are cumulative, and may be exercised by
the Collateral Agent from time to time in such order as the Collateral Agent may
elect.

                           COLLATERAL AGENT AGREEMENT

         COLLATERAL AGENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") dated as of January 24,
2002 among Barbara R. Mittman (the "Collateral Agent"), the parties identified
on Schedule A hereto (each, individually, a "Lender" and collectively, the
"Lenders"), who hold or have subscribed for Secured Convertible Notes in the
principal amounts set forth on Schedule A hereto (collectively, the Notes")
issued or to be issued by Commercial Consolidators Corp., an Alberta, Canada
corporation ("CCZ").

         WHEREAS, the Lenders are making loans to CCZ to be secured by certain
collateral; and

         WHEREAS, it is desirable to provide for the orderly administration of
such collateral by requiring each Lender to appoint the Collateral Agent, and
the Collateral Agent has agreed to accept such appointment and to receive, hold
and deliver such collateral, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions
hereinafter set forth; and

         WHEREAS, it is desirable to allocate the enforcement of certain rights
of the Lenders under the Notes for the orderly administration thereof.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth herein and
for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1. Collateral.

                  (a) Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement by the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, (i) the Collateral Agent has
or will have entered into a Security Agreement between the Collateral Agent and
CCZ (the "Security Agreement"), regarding the grant of a security interest in
assets owned by CCZ (such assets are referred to herein as the "Collateral") to
the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and (ii) CCZ is issuing the
Notes to the Lenders.

                  (b) For purposes solely of perfection of the security
interests granted to the Collateral Agent, as agent on behalf of the Lenders,
and on its own behalf under the Security Agreement, the Collateral Agent hereby
acknowledges that any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent is held for the
benefit of the Lenders in accordance with this Agreement and the Security
Agreement. No reference to the Security Agreement or any other instrument or
document shall be deemed to incorporate any term or provision thereof into this
Agreement unless expressly so provided.

                  (c) The Collateral Agent is to distribute in accordance with
the Security Agreement any proceeds received from the Collateral which are
distributable to the Lenders in proportion to their respective interests in the
Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement).

         2. Appointment of the Collateral Agent.

                  The Lenders hereby appoint the Collateral Agent (and the
Collateral Agent hereby accepts such appointment) to take any action including,
without limitation, the registration of any Collateral in the name of the
Collateral Agent or its nominees prior to or during the continuance of an Event
of Default (as defined in the Security Agreement), the exercise of voting rights
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
application of any cash collateral received by the Collateral Agent to the
payment of the Obligations, the exercise of any remedies given to the Collateral
Agent pursuant to the Security Agreement and the exercise of any authority
pursuant to the appointment of the Collateral Agent as an attorney-in-fact
pursuant to the Security Agreement that the Collateral Agent deems necessary or
proper for the administration of the Collateral pursuant to the Security
Agreement. Upon disposition of the Collateral in accordance with the Security
Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall promptly distribute any cash or Collateral
in accordance with Section 10.1(d) of the Security Agreement.

                                       1

<PAGE>

         3. Action by the Majority in Interest.

                  (a) Certain Actions. Each of the Lenders covenants and agrees
that only a Majority in Interest shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to undertake the following actions (it being expressly understood that less than
a Majority in Interest hereby expressly waive the following rights that they may
otherwise have under the Notes, but only insofar as such waiver affects their
right to receive proceeds from the Collateral):

                           (i) Acceleration. If an Event of Default occurs,
after the applicable cure period, if any, a Majority in Interest may, on behalf
of all the Lenders, instruct the Collateral Agent to provide to CCZ notice to
cure such default and/or declare the unpaid principal amount of the Notes to be
due and payable, together with any and all accrued interest thereon and all
costs payable pursuant to such Notes;

                           (ii) Enforcement. Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default after the applicable cure period, if any, a Majority in Interest may
instruct the Collateral Agent to proceed to protect, exercise and enforce, on
behalf of all the Lenders, their rights and remedies under the Notes against
CCZ, and such other rights and remedies as are provided by law or equity;

                           (iii) Waiver of Past Defaults. A Majority in Interest
may instruct the Collateral Agent to waive any Event of Default by written
notice to CCZ, and the other Lenders; and

                           (iv) Amendment. A Majority in Interest may instruct
the Collateral Agent to waive, amend, supplement or modify any term, condition
or other provision in the Notes or Security Agreement in accordance with the
terms of the Notes or Security Agreement so long as such waiver, amendment,
supplement or modification is made with respect to all of the Notes and with the
same force and effect with respect to each of the Notes.

                  (b) Permitted Subordination. A Majority in Interest may
instruct the Collateral Agent to agree to subordinate any Collateral to any
claim and may enter into any agreement with CCZ to evidence such subordination;
provided, however, that subsequent to any such subordination, each Note shall
remain pari passu with the other Notes held among the Lenders.

                  (c) Further Actions. A Majority in Interest may instruct the
Collateral Agent to take any action that it may take under this Agreement by
instructing the Collateral Agent in writing to take such action on behalf of all
the Lenders.

                  (d) Majority in Interest. For so long as any obligations
remain outstanding on the Secured Notes, Majority in Interest shall mean Lenders
who hold not less than two-thirds (66%) of the Obligations.

         4. Power of Attorney.

                  (a) To effectuate the terms and provisions hereof, the Lenders
hereby appoint the Collateral Agent as their attorney-in-fact (and the
Collateral Agent hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of carrying
out the provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, taking any
action on behalf of, or at the instruction of, the Majority in Interest at the
written direction of the Majority in Interest and executing any consent
authorized pursuant to this Agreement and taking any action and executing any
instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable (and
lawful) to accomplish the purposes hereof.

                                       2

<PAGE>

                  (b) All acts done under the foregoing authorization are hereby
ratified and approved and neither the Collateral Agent nor any designee nor
agent thereof shall be liable for any acts of commission or omission, for any
error of judgment, for any mistake of fact or law except for acts of gross
negligence or willful misconduct.

                  (c) This power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, is
irrevocable while this Agreement remains in effect.

         5. Expenses of the Collateral Agent. The Lenders shall pay any and all
costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent, all waivers, releases,
discharges, satisfactions, modifications and amendments of this Agreement, the
administration and holding of the Collateral, insurance expenses, and the
enforcement, protection and adjudication of the parties' rights hereunder by the
Collateral Agent, including, without limitation, the reasonable disbursements,
expenses and fees of the attorneys the Collateral Agent may retain, if any, each
of the foregoing in proportion to their holdings of the Notes.

         6. Reliance on Documents and Experts. The Collateral Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon any notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, statement,
paper, document, writing or communication (which may be by telegram, cable,
telex, telecopier, or telephone) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to
have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or persons, and upon
opinions and advice of its own legal counsel, independent public accountants and
other experts selected by the Collateral Agent.

         7. Duties of the Collateral Agent; Standard of Care.

                  (a) The Collateral Agent's only duties are those expressly set
forth in this Agreement, and the Collateral Agent hereby is authorized to
perform those duties in accordance with commercially reasonable practices. The
Collateral Agent may exercise or otherwise enforce any of its rights, powers,
privileges, remedies and interests under this Agreement and applicable law or
perform any of its duties under this Agreement by or through its officers,
employees, attorneys, or agents.

                  (b) The Collateral Agent shall act in good faith and with that
degree of care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use
under similar circumstances.

                  (c) Any funds held by the Collateral Agent hereunder need not
be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The
Collateral Agent shall be under no liability for interest on any funds received
by it hereunder.

         8. Resignation. The Collateral Agent may resign and be discharged of
its duties hereunder at any time by giving written notice of such resignation to
the other parties hereto, stating the date such resignation is to take effect.
Within 15 days of the giving of such notice, a successor collateral agent shall
be appointed by the Majority in Interest; provided, however, that if the Lenders
are unable so to agree upon a successor within such time period, the successor
collateral agent may be a person designated by the Collateral Agent, and any and
all fees of such successor collateral agent shall be the joint and several
obligation of the Lenders. The Collateral Agent shall continue to serve until
the effective date of the resignation or until its successor accepts the
appointment and receives the Collateral held by the Collateral Agent but shall
not be obligated to take any action hereunder. The Collateral Agent may deposit
any Collateral with the Supreme Court of the State of New York for New York
County or any such other court in New York State that accepts such Collateral.

                                       3

         9. Exculpation. The Collateral Agent and its officers, employees,
attorneys and agents, shall not incur any liability whatsoever for the holding
or delivery of documents or the taking of any other action in accordance with
the terms and provisions of this Agreement, for any mistake or error in
judgment, for compliance with any applicable law or any attachment, order or
other directive of any court or other authority (irrespective of any conflicting
term or provision of this Agreement), or for any act or omission of any other
person engaged by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Agreement, unless
occasioned by the exculpated person's own gross negligence or willful
misconduct; and each party hereto hereby waives any and all claims and actions
whatsoever against the Collateral Agent and its officers, employees, attorneys
and agents, arising out of or related directly or indirectly to any or all of
the foregoing acts, omissions and circumstances.

         10. Indemnification. The Lenders hereby agree to indemnify, reimburse
and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and its directors, officers, employees,
attorneys and agents, jointly and severally, from and against any and all
claims, liabilities, losses and expenses that may be imposed upon, incurred by,
or asserted against any of them, arising out of or related directly or
indirectly to this Agreement or the Collateral, except such as are occasioned by
the indemnified person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

         11. Miscellaneous.

                  (a) Rights and Remedies Not Waived. No act, omission or delay
by the Collateral Agent shall constitute a waiver of the Collateral Agent's
rights and remedies hereunder or otherwise. No single or partial waiver by the
Collateral Agent of any default hereunder or right or remedy that it may have
shall operate as a waiver of any other default, right or remedy or of the same
default, right or remedy on a future occasion.

                  (b) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard
to principles of conflicts or choice of law (or any other law that would make
any substantive laws of any state other than the State of New York applicable
hereto).

                  (c) Waiver of Jury Trial and Setoff; Consent to Jurisdiction;
Etc.

                           (i) In any litigation in any court with respect to,
in connection with, or arising out of this Agreement or any instrument or
document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or the validity, protection,
interpretation, collection or enforcement hereof or thereof, or any other claim
or dispute howsoever arising, between the Collateral Agent and the Lenders or
any Lender, then each Lender, to the fullest extent it may legally do so, (i)
waives the right to interpose any setoff, recoupment, counterclaim or
cross-claim in connection with any such litigation, irrespective of the nature
of such setoff, recoupment, counterclaim or cross-claim, unless such setoff,
recoupment, counterclaim or cross-claim could not, by reason of any applicable
federal or state procedural laws, be interposed, pleaded or alleged in any other
action; and (ii) WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH LITIGATION AND
ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY SUCH LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL,
EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN
ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. EACH LENDER AGREES THAT THIS SECTION 11(c) IS A
SPECIFIC AND MATERIAL ASPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE
COLLATERAL AGENT WOULD NOT ENTER THIS AGREEMENT IF THIS SECTION 11(c) WERE NOT
PART OF THIS AGREEMENT.

                           (ii) Each Lender irrevocably consents to the
exclusive jurisdiction of any State or Federal Court located within the County
of New York, State of New York, in connection with any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any document or instrument
delivered pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. In any such litigation, each
Lender waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, personal service
of any summons, complaint or other process and agree that the service thereof
may be made by certified or registered mail directed to such Lender at its
address for notice determined in accordance with Section 11(e) hereof. Each
Lender hereby waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the
defenses of forum non conveniens and improper venue.
