Parties) represented by such Representative and (b) an Act of any Holder if such

action which it purports to be taking, the Collateral Agent being entitled to
rely conclusively, and being fully protected in so relying, on any Act of such
Representative or Holder.

         SECTION 3.02. DETERMINATION OF OBLIGATIONS. (a) Whenever the Collateral
Agent is required to determine the existence or amount of any of the Obligations
or Secured Instrument Commitments or any other amount or any portion thereof
(including the Principal Obligations) for any purposes of this Agreement, it
shall be entitled to make such determination on the basis of one or more
certificates of any applicable Representative or Holder; PROVIDED that if,
notwithstanding the request of the Collateral Agent, any applicable
Representative or Holder shall fail or refuse promptly to certify as to the
existence or amount of any Obligations or Secured Instrument Commitments or any

                                       9
<PAGE>
portion thereof, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to determine such
existence or amount by reliance upon a certificate of the Company or upon the
most recent available information provided to the Collateral Agent by the
relevant Secured Parties; PROVIDED FURTHER that, promptly following
determination of any such amount, the Collateral Agent shall notify such
Representative or Holder of such determination and thereafter shall correct any
error that such Representative or Holder brings to the attention of the
Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may rely conclusively, and shall be fully
protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the
provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of
competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to any Grantor, any Secured
Party or any other Person as a result of any action taken by the Collateral
Agent based upon such determination prior to receipt of notice of any error in
such determination.

                  (b) For purposes of making the determinations required by this
Agreement (other than as provided in Section 10.14) with respect to any amount
that is denominated in any currency other than Dollars, the Collateral Agent
shall value such amount in Dollars based upon prevailing exchange rates in
effect as of the first Business Day preceding the date on which the Collateral
Agent is required to make such determination.

         SECTION 3.03. RESTRICTIONS ON ACTIONS. Each Secured Party agrees that,
unless and until this Agreement is terminated as provided herein, the provisions
of this Agreement shall provide the exclusive method by which any Secured Party
may exercise, or direct the exercise of, rights and remedies under the Security
Documents. Therefore, each Secured Party shall, for the mutual benefit of all
Secured Parties of the same Class, except as permitted under this Agreement:

                  (a) refrain from taking or filing any action, judicial or
         otherwise, to enforce any rights or pursue any remedies under the
         relevant Class of Security Documents, except for delivering notices
         hereunder; and

                  (b) refrain from exercising any rights or remedies under the
         relevant Class of Security Documents which may be exercisable as a
         result of an event that could result in a Notice of Enforcement;

PROVIDED that the foregoing shall not prevent (i) any Secured Party from
imposing a default rate of interest in accordance with the applicable Secured
Instrument, (ii) the Collateral Agent from exercising any right or remedy or
taking any other action on behalf of the relevant Class of Secured Parties that
it is permitted or authorized to exercise or take or (iii) a Secured Party from
exercising its rights and remedies as a general creditor in accordance with the
applicable Secured Instrument and applicable law, including the right to
commence legal proceedings to collect any Obligations due and payable to such
Secured Party and remaining unpaid, to accelerate the maturity of any
Obligations or to terminate any Secured Instrument Commitment in accordance with
the applicable Secured Instrument, to commence legal proceedings to enforce any
Secured Instrument and obtain a judgment and to enforce such judgment, in each
case to the same extent as if such Secured Party were an unsecured creditor.

         such hereunder or any other Class B Security Document) in connection
         with any Class B Security Document or any of the Class B Obligations,
         including all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of its
         agents and legal counsel, including costs associated with the
         registration and perfection of the security interests in the Class B
         Collateral, the repayment of all advances made by the Collateral Agent
         under any Class B Security Document on behalf of any Grantor and any
         other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of
         any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Class B Security
         Document;

                  SECOND, to the Class B Secured Parties pro rata in accordance
         with the aggregate amounts of the Class B Obligations outstanding on
         the date of any such distribution (whether or not due and payable); and

                  THIRD, the balance, if any, to the Company or its successors
         and assigns, or such other Person or Persons as shall be entitled
         thereto, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

         SECTION 5.03. TIME OF PAYMENTS. The Collateral Agent shall, in its sole
discretion, determine the times at which amounts are to be distributed by it
pursuant to Section 5.02, subject to (i) any written instructions received by
the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 4.02(d) designating the times at which
such amounts are to be distributed and (ii) the provisions of Section 5.04.

         SECTION 5.04. APPLICATION OF AMOUNTS NOT DISTRIBUTABLE. If any
Representative or Unrepresented Holder shall inform the Collateral Agent in
writing that no provision is made under the relevant Secured Instrument for the
application of amounts which are to be distributed by the Collateral Agent in
respect of Obligations under such Secured Instrument pursuant to Section 5.02
(whether by virtue of the applicable Obligations thereunder not being then due
and payable or otherwise) or for the holding of such amounts by or on behalf of

                                       14
<PAGE>

such parties pending application thereof, then the Collateral Agent shall pay
over such amounts to the Company or its successors and assigns or such other
Person it determines in its sole discretion as may be entitled thereto, or as a
court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

         SECTION 5.05. TREATMENT OF CONTINGENT OBLIGATIONS. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, distributions under clauses FIRST and SECOND of Section 5.02(a) or
5.02(b) shall be made disregarding any Contingent Obligations. If any Contingent
Obligations exist at any time that any amounts are to be distributed under
clause THIRD of Section 5.02(a) or 5.02(b), the Collateral Agent shall deposit
such amounts up to an amount equal to such Contingent Obligations in a
collateral account established and maintained at its office specified in Section
5.01(a) (designated the "CONTINGENT OBLIGATIONS ACCOUNT") for the benefit of the
Secured Parties of the relevant Class that have a claim with respect to such
Contingent Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall invest such amounts in
Temporary Cash Investments (at the direction of the Company and at the risk of
the Grantors) until the Representative of such Secured Parties or the applicable
Unrepresented Holder, as the case may be, shall notify the Collateral Agent that
any or all of the Contingent Obligations with respect to the Secured Parties
represented by such Representative or to such Unrepresented Holder, as the case
may be, have become fixed or liquidated (in which case such amounts up to the
amount in the Contingent Obligations Account shall be delivered to such
Representative or Unrepresented Holder, as the case may be, to be applied
pursuant to the applicable Secured Instrument) or that such Contingent
Obligations have expired or cease to exist (in which case an amount in the
Contingent Obligations Account in excess of the Contingent Obligations
outstanding at such time shall (a) if a Notice of Enforcement is in effect, be
applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.02 or (b) if a Notice of
Enforcement is not in effect, be released to the Grantor or Grantors entitled
thereto).

         SECTION 5.06. CALCULATIONS. In making the determinations and
allocations required by Section 5.02, the Collateral Agent may rely upon
certificates as provided in Section 3.02 as to the amounts payable with respect
to any of the Obligations. If any Secured Party receives any amount pursuant to
Section 5.02 in excess of the amount it was entitled to receive pursuant to
Section 5.02 as a result of a demonstrable error in the determination of the
amount of the Obligations, then such Secured Party (by becoming a Holder of
Obligations and accepting the benefits of this Agreement) agrees to pay such
excess to the Collateral Agent for application in accordance with Section 5.02
as soon as practicable after the existence of such error shall have been
determined. All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section
5.02 shall be (subject to the preceding sentence and to any decree of any court
of competent jurisdiction) final, and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to
inquire as to the application by any Representative or Unrepresented Holder of
any amounts distributed to it.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                   AGREEMENTS

         SECTION 6.01. DELIVERY OF AGREEMENTS. The Company shall deliver to the
Collateral Agent, promptly upon the execution thereof, true and complete copies
of (a) all amendments, supplements or other modifications to any Secured
Instrument and (b) each Additional Security Document.

         SECTION 6.02. INFORMATION. On a quarterly basis promptly following the
end of each fiscal quarter of the Company and from time to time while a Notice
of Enforcement is in Effect, upon the request of the Collateral Agent, the

                                       15
<PAGE>

Company shall promptly deliver to the Collateral Agent a list, setting forth as
of a specified date not more than 10 days prior to the date of delivery, of the
aggregate outstanding Principal Obligations and Secured Instrument Commitments
of the relevant Class and the name and address of each Secured Party (and the
name and address of such Secured Party's Representative, if any) and the
respective amounts of Principal Obligations and Secured Instrument Commitments
attributable to each. The Collateral Agent shall, at the written request of the
Company, provide such information as is in the Collateral Agent's possession to
enable the Company to prepare such a list. The Collateral Agent shall provide a
copy of the most recent list delivered to it under this Section to any Secured
Party of the relevant Class upon written request.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                              THE COLLATERAL AGENT

         SECTION 7.01. APPOINTMENT; RIGHTS AND DUTIES. (a) Each Class A Secured
Party hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent and
authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to
exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of
the Security Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. Each Class B Secured Party hereby irrevocably appoints the
Collateral Agent as its agent and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such
actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the
Collateral Agent by the terms of the Class B Security Documents, together with
such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

                  (b) Any Person serving as Collateral Agent hereunder shall
have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Secured Party as any other
Secured Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Collateral
Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money
to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any other
Grantor or Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Collateral Agent hereunder.

                  (c) The Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or
obligations except those expressly set forth in the Security Documents of the
applicable Class. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the
Collateral Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties,
regardless of whether a Notice of Enforcement is in effect, (ii) the Collateral
Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated by the Security Documents of the applicable Class that the
Collateral Agent is required to exercise in writing as provided in Section
4.02(b), and (iii) except as expressly set forth in the Security Documents of
the applicable Class, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty to disclose,
and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to
the Company or any other Grantor that is communicated to or obtained by the
Person serving as the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
with the consent or at the request of the Secured Parties (or the requisite
portion thereof as required by any applicable provision of this Agreement) or in
the absence of their own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Collateral
Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any event that could result in

                                       16
<PAGE>

delivery of a Notice of Enforcement unless and until a Notice of Enforcement is
received by the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall not be
responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (A) any statement,
warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Security Document
or Secured Instrument, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other
document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (C) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set
forth in any Security Document or Secured Instrument, (D) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Security Document or Secured
Instrument or any other agreement, instrument or document or (E) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in any Security Document or Secured
Instrument, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be
delivered to the Collateral Agent.

                  (d) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and
shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request,
certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed
by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. Except
to the extent the provisions hereof provide for writings, the Collateral Agent
also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed
by it to be made by the proper Person and shall not incur any liability for
relying thereon. The Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be
counsel for the Company or any other Grantor), independent accountants and other
experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken
by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

                  (e) The Collateral Agent may perform any and all its duties
and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents
appointed by the Collateral Agent; PROVIDED that, after the Effective Date and
so long as no Notice of Enforcement received by it is in effect, the Collateral
Agent shall provide to the Company notice of appointment of any sub-agent. The
Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all their duties and
exercise their rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The
exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs of this Section 7.01 shall
apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Collateral Agent
and any such sub-agent and shall apply to their respective activities in
connection with the activities of the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent.

                  (f) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor
Collateral Agent as provided in this paragraph, (i) the Collateral Agent may
resign at any time by notifying the Company and each Secured Party of each Class
and (ii) the Collateral Agent may be removed by the Act of the Required Class A
Amendment Parties (or, at any time when a Notice of Enforcement is in effect,
the Required Class A Enforcement Parties). Upon any such resignation or removal,
the Required Class A Amendment Parties (or, at any time when a Notice of
Enforcement is in effect, the Required Class A Enforcement Parties), shall have
the right to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have (i) been so
appointed by the Required Class A Amendment Parties (or, at any time when a
Notice of Enforcement is in effect, the Required Class A Enforcement Parties)
and (ii) accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Collateral
Agent gives notice of its resignation or after such removal (as applicable),
then the retiring or removed Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Secured
Parties, appoint a successor Collateral Agent which shall be a bank with an
office in New York, New York (or the applicable local jurisdiction, in the case
of a sub-agent) or an Affiliate of any such bank that has an office in New York,
New York. Upon the acceptance by a successor of its appointment as Collateral
Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Collateral
Agent, and the retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its

                                       17
<PAGE>

duties and obligations hereunder. The retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall
provide to its successor the original or true and accurate copies of all of its
books and records relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby. The fees payable by the Company to a successor Collateral Agent shall be
the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the
Company and such successor. After the Collateral Agent's resignation or removal
hereunder, the provisions of this Article, including Section 7.02 hereof, shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Collateral Agent,
its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Collateral
Agent.

                  (g) Each Secured Party acknowledges that it has, independently
and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis and decision to purchase the Securities or extend credit to
the Grantors, as applicable, pursuant to the applicable Secured Instrument and
to enter into this Agreement. Each Secured Party also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other
Secured Party and based on such documents and information as it shall from time
to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not
taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Security Document or
related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

         SECTION 7.02. EXPENSES; INDEMNITY; DAMAGE WAIVER. (a) The Company
agrees to pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Collateral Agent, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of
counsel for the Collateral Agent, in connection with the preparation, execution,
delivery and administration of the Security Documents, the Intercreditor
Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers thereof (whether or not
the amendments, modifications, waivers or transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated) and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Collateral Agent, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of
any counsel for the Collateral Agent, in connection with the enforcement or
protection of their rights in connection with the Security Documents and the
Intercreditor Agreement, including their rights under this Section.

                  (b) The Company agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent and
each of its Related Parties (each such Person being called an "INDEMNITEE")
against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against
any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the
execution or delivery of any Security Document or Secured Instrument, the
Intercreditor Agreement or any other agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, or the performance by the parties to the Security Documents or Secured
Instruments or the Intercreditor Agreement of their respective obligations
thereunder or the consummation of any transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any
extension of credit under any Secured Instrument or the use of the proceeds
therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous
Materials on or from any Mortgaged Property or any other property at any time
owned or operated by the Company or any other Grantor or at which any Collateral
is located or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Company or
any other Grantor or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a
party thereto; PROVIDED that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
related expenses have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of
such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties. In any event, neither the
Collateral Agent nor any other Indemnitee shall be required to take any action
under or in relation to this Agreement, any Security Document or Secured

                                       18
<PAGE>

Instrument, the Intercreditor Agreement or any other agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by
(A) the Company or (B) the Secured Parties of the relevant Class against any and
all liability and expense that the Collateral Agent may incur by reason of
taking any such action.

                  (c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company
shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any
theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages
(as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or
as a result of, this Agreement, any other Security Document, the Intercreditor
Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby.

                  (d) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable on
demand.

                  (e) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever
to any Secured Party or other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is
owned by the Grantors or is cared for, protected or insured, or that the Liens
and security interests granted to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured
Parties under the Security Documents, have been properly created, perfected,
protected or enforced, as the case may be, or are entitled to any particular
priority, except that the Collateral Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the
custody of Collateral held by it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
or any other Security Document.

                  (f) Each Secured Party hereby approves the Security Documents
of the applicable Class and the Intercreditor Agreement, and hereby authorizes
the Collateral Agent on its behalf to accept from the Company and the other
Grantors and execute and deliver (in its capacity as Collateral Agent) such
Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, with such changes, additions
or deletions as the Collateral Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may approve
as reasonably necessary or appropriate, such approval to be conclusively
evidenced by the Collateral Agent's acceptance or execution thereof. Each
Secured Party also authorizes the Collateral Agent to accept or execute and
deliver each other Security Document of the applicable Class to which it is a
party and such additional documents (including financing statements, opinions,
certificates and other documents in form and substance satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent, in its reasonable discretion) in connection with the issuance
of the Securities or any subsequent closing for the pledge of any other
Collateral as the Collateral Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may approve
pursuant to the direction of the Secured Parties of the relevant Class, as
applicable, such approval to be conclusively evidenced by the Collateral Agent's
acceptance or execution thereof.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                             AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS

         SECTION 8.01. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. (a) This Agreement, the other
Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement may be amended, modified,
supplemented, waived or released with respect to one Class of Secured Parties
without the approval of the other Class of Secured Parties. Any amendment,
modification, supplement, waiver or release with respect to one Class of Secured
Parties shall not be construed to affect the rights or obligations of the other
Class of Secured Parties.

                  (b) Neither this Agreement, any other Security Document nor
the Intercreditor Agreement, nor any provision hereof or thereof, may be waived,
amended or modified, except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an
agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company and the Required

                                       19
<PAGE>

Amendment Parties of the relevant Class and (ii) in the case of any other
Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or
agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and each of the
applicable Grantors or other Persons that are parties thereto with the consent
of the Required Amendment Parties of the relevant Class (except as provided in
Section 9.01 of the Indenture, as in effect on the date hereof); PROVIDED that:

                  (A) no such agreement shall adversely affect any rights,
         immunities or rights to indemnification of the Collateral Agent (in its
         capacity as such) hereunder, under any other Security Document or under
         the Intercreditor Agreement, or expand its duties hereunder, under any
         Security Document or under the Intercreditor Agreement, without the
         prior written consent of the Collateral Agent;

                  (B) no such agreement shall, without the prior written consent
         of each Secured Party of the applicable Class, (A) modify Section 5.02
         or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Security Document
         of the applicable Class that is intended to provide for the equal and
         ratable security of the Obligations of such Class or (B) change the
         definitions of "Required Amendment Parties", "Required Class A
         Amendment Parties", "Required Class B Amendment Parties", or Sections
         4.02, 4.03 or 8.01 or any other provision of any Security Document of
         the relevant Class (unless otherwise expressly contemplated by such
         Security Document), or the Intercreditor Agreement, specifying the
         identity, number or percentage of Secured Parties required to waive,
         amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination, grant
         any consent or give any instructions thereunder, or any definition used
         in any such Section or provision (to the extent affecting such Section
         or provision); and

                  (C) no such agreement shall, without the prior written consent
         of the Secured Parties of the applicable Class having outstanding
         Principal Obligations and Secured Instrument Commitments of such Class
         representing more than 66?% of the sum of the total outstanding
         Principal Obligations and Secured Instrument Commitments of such Class
         at such time, release any part of the Collateral of such Class from the
         Liens of the Security Documents of such Class (except as expressly
         contemplated by the Security Documents of such Class, the Intercreditor
         Agreement or this Agreement).

                                   ARTICLE IX

                              BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT

                  This Agreement is being executed and delivered by the Persons
whose names appear on the signature pages below and by such other Persons as
become parties hereto by the execution and delivery of a Permitted Additional
Obligations Designation pursuant to Section 2.01, but shall benefit, in addition
to such Persons, each other Secured Party represented by a Representative that
is or becomes a party hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly
understood that the entitlement of each such other Secured Party to the benefits
of this Agreement and of the Security Documents is subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and is expressly conditioned on the observance by
such Secured Party of such terms and conditions. Without limiting the foregoing,
the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be required to), as a condition to
making any distribution hereunder to which any such Secured Party would be
entitled, require that such Secured Party execute and deliver to the Collateral

                                       20
<PAGE>

Agent an acknowledgment of and consent to all the provisions of this Agreement
(specifically including the provisions of Section 5.07); PROVIDED that the

any of the obligations of such Secured Party hereunder.

                                   ARTICLE X

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         SECTION 10.01. NOTICES. Except in the case of notices and other
communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone, all notices and

         (302) 636-4145; and

                  (c) if to any Secured Party or Representative, to it at the
         address and facsimile number set forth in the applicable Secured

Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and

notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date
of receipt.

         SECTION 10.02. WAIVERS. No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent in
exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Security Documents
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to
enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the
Collateral Agent hereunder and of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured
Parties under the other Security Documents and Secured Instruments are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would
otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement, any other Security
Document or any Secured Instrument or consent to any departure by any Grantor
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
Article VIII, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

         SECTION 10.03. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two or
more counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts),
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together

Section 10.04. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by
facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of
this Agreement.

         SECTION 10.04. BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall become effective as
to the Company when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of the Company shall
have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have
been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding
upon the Company and the Collateral Agent acting on behalf of the relevant Class
of Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure
to the benefit of the Company, the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties
and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Company shall not
have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any
interest herein (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as
expressly contemplated by this Agreement, the other Security Documents and the
Secured Instruments.

         SECTION 10.05. SEVERABILITY. Any provision of this Agreement held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace
the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the
economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions.

         SECTION 10.06. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

         SECTION 10.07. JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS. (a) Each of
the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself
and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court
or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York County, New
York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Security Documents or
the Secured Instruments, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and
each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that
all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and
determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such
Federal court. To the extent permitted by law, each of the parties hereto agrees
that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and
may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that
the Collateral Agent, acting on behalf of the relevant Class of Secured Parties,
or any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement, the Security Documents of the applicable Class or
the other Secured Instruments of the applicable Class against any Grantor or its
properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

                  (b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do
so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of
any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the
other Security Documents or the Secured Instruments in any court referred to in
the first sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense
of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any
such court.

<PAGE>

                  (c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to
service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing
in this Agreement or any other Security Document will affect the right of any
party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

         SECTION 10.08. WAIVERS. (a) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO
HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT
MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR
ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT
OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT
SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE
FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE
BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL
WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

                  (b) WAIVER OF RIGHT TO CONTEST RECEIVERSHIP. EACH GRANTOR
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO OBJECT TO OR OTHERWISE
CONTEST THE APPOINTMENT OF A RECEIVER AFTER THE OCCURRENCE OF A NOTICE OF
ENFORCEMENT IS IN EFFECT. EACH GRANTOR GRANTS SUCH WAIVER AND CONSENT KNOWINGLY
AFTER HAVING DISCUSSED THE IMPLICATIONS THEREOF WITH COUNSEL, ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
THE UNCONTESTED RIGHT TO HAVE A RECEIVER APPOINTED FOR THE FOREGOING PURPOSES IS
CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL BY THE SECURED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE ENFORCEMENT
OF THEIR RIGHTS AND REMEDIES HEREUNDER, ANY OF THE OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENTS OR
ANY SECURED INSTRUMENT, AND THE AVAILABILITY OF SUCH APPOINTMENT AS A REMEDY
UNDER THE FOREGOING CIRCUMSTANCES WAS A MATERIAL FACTOR IN INDUCING THE SECURED
PARTIES TO PURCHASE THE SECURITIES AND MAKE EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT, AS APPLICABLE,
UNDER THE SECURED INSTRUMENTS, AND AGREES TO ENTER INTO ANY AND ALL STIPULATIONS
IN ANY LEGAL ACTIONS, OR AGREEMENTS OR OTHER INSTRUMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE
FOREGOING AND TO COOPERATE FULLY WITH THE COLLATERAL AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH
THE ASSUMPTION AND EXERCISE OF CONTROL BY THE RECEIVER OVER ALL OR ANY PORTION
OF THE COLLATERAL.

Party, each transferee or assignee of Obligations held by it); and all
covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Company, the other
Grantors and the Collateral Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall
bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

         SECTION 10.11. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall automatically
terminate (PROVIDED that the provisions of Section 7.02 shall not be affected by
any such termination) when (a) the Liens and security interests granted under
the Security Documents have terminated and (b) all the Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid in full in cash and no Secured Party has any further
commitment to extend credit under any Secured Instrument; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case
may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Collateral Agent, any Secured
Party, the Company or any other Grantor upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of
the Company, any other Grantor or otherwise.

         SECTION 10.12. COMPLETE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the other
Security Documents and Secured Instruments constitute the entire agreement
between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersede all prior representations, negotiations, writings, memoranda and
agreements.

         SECTION 10.13. AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND. Pursuant to the other applicable
Security Documents, each Subsidiary party thereto has agreed to be bound by the
terms of this Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
has expressly agreed that all obligations and liabilities of a Grantor hereunder
apply to such party with the same force and effect as if such party were a
signatory hereto.

         SECTION 10.14. SEVERAL AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall be construed as
a separate agreement with respect to each Class of Secured Parties and may be
amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released pursuant to Section 8.01
with respect to one Class of Secured Parties without the approval of the other
Class of Secured Parties. Any amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or
release pursuant to Section 8.01 with respect to one Class of Secured Parties
shall not be construed to affect the rights or obligations of the other Class of
Secured Parties.

April 21, 2003

Mr. Donald C. Devine
9 Leeds Road
Moorestown, New Jersey 08507

Dear Don:

As we have discussed, the needs at USI's corporate level have changed. You
should know that your strengths and leadership abilities have been highly
regarded by both our Board of Directors and me personally. I am very pleased to
offer you and that you have accepted the position of President & Chief Operating
Officer of USI. The Board of Directors congratulates you on this appointment.
This appointment will be effective April 21, 2003 (your "Starting Date").

I have outlined below your authority, compensation, perquisites and other
matters, including how your employment at Jacuzzi will be treated following your
transfer to employment with USI.

It is anticipated that, within ninety days of your appointment, you will execute
an employment agreement between you and USI substantially in the form of
agreement as for other senior executives now reporting to me, and subject to the
terms of this letter.

Authority

On the Starting Date, you will have the responsibilities commensurate with the
position of the chief operating officer of a public company, including but not
limited to the management and oversight of all USI operations.

In your capacity as President & Chief Operating Officer, you will devote your
full time, efforts and skill to the diligent performance of your duties and will
at all times use your best efforts to serve and advance the business of USI and
not engage in any activities which would conflict with your duties.

You will report directly to me. As Chief Operating Officer, you may also have
certain fiduciary duties and obligations reporting directly to our Board of
Directors.

<PAGE>

Base Salary

Your annualized base salary rate will increase to $450,000 effective on the
Starting Date. Your base salary will be reviewed annually in December with any
change implemented the following January 1.

Annual Performance Incentive Plan

The annual incentive for which you are eligible will be targeted at 90% percent
of Base Salary (your "Target Bonus") and will be based on achievement of certain
goals and financial targets established for the senior executives of USI,
pursuant to its Annual Performance Incentive Program (the "PIP"). The PIP
provides for a range from zero to 150% of your Target Bonus (in your case, your
potential annualized bonus will range from zero to 135% of Base Salary). PIP
bonus payments are paid following USI's year-end, subject to completion of
audited financials for the year; typically, any bonuses are paid on the December
15th following the close of the fiscal year.

For USI's Fiscal Year 2003 (ending September 27, 2003) you will be paid a bonus
based 50% on the your target bonus and base salary at Jacuzzi, in accordance
with the Jacuzzi Performance Incentive Plan, and 50% based on your new target
bonus and base salary with USI in accordance with the USI Annual Performance
Incentive Plan.

Long Term Incentive Plan

The Long Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP") is linked to the PIP, and is a
continuation of the LTIP you commenced participation for fiscal year 2002 at
Jacuzzi. The LTIP provides that an additional 30% of any bonus earned under
USI's PIP is credited into a deferred account which is credited annually with
interest at the 30-year Treasury bond rate (or facsimile bond). After three
years of participation in the LTIP, the cumulative balance is paid out at the
rate of 15% per year annually thereafter.

Equity Compensation

A grant of 100,000 stock options has been approved by USI's Compensation
Committee to be awarded to you upon your appointment.

Additionally, the Compensation Committee has determined to award you 50,000
shares of Restricted Stock on your appointment as President and Chief Operating
Officer.

Other Perquisites

You will continue to be provided with the use of a Company-leased car (for
business and personal use, subject to IRS rules), or a car allowance, in
accordance with USI's car policy.

USI also provides reimbursement for one annual airline club membership for your
use.

<PAGE>

You will be provided with the use of a Company-paid cell phone for business use.
Reasonable personal use is also permitted.

Vacation and Holidays

You will be entitled to four weeks' vacation per calendar year, including your
Jacuzzi employment and vacation use. This is in addition to paid holidays, in
accordance with USI's holiday policy.

Business Expenses

All business expenses will be reimbursed by USI in accordance with its policy.

Relocation of Your Principal Residence

As we discussed, you will now relocate to USI's corporate headquarters. USI will
reimburse you for the cost of relocating your family and principal residence in
accordance with the attached relocation program. The relocation must be
completed prior to the first anniversary of your Starting Date. Upon the closing
of the purchase of your new residence, USI will make a relocation payment to you
of $225,000. This payment will not be subject to the Tax Issues section (i.e.,
gross-up provision) of the program.

For the period beginning on the Starting Date and ending on the earlier of the
four-month anniversary of the Starting Date or the actual date on which you
close on your new principal residence in South Florida, USI will reimburse you
for temporary living expenses in an amount to be mutually agreed.

In the event you voluntarily terminate your employment with USI prior to the
third anniversary of your Starting Date, you will be required to repay all
expenses incurred by USI relating to your relocation immediately upon
termination, other than the temporary living expenses.

Welfare Programs (life/medical/disability/etc.)

You will be provided with all welfare benefits USI currently provides to its
employees and executives, including life, health, medical, vision and disability
coverages for yourself, and, with respect to medical coverage, for your eligible
dependents. Included in our medical program is a flexible spending account as
well as a dependent care account.

You will also be provided with life insurance equal to three times your Base
Salary, with an equal amount for accidental death and dismemberment coverage.
Long Term disability coverage is equal to $120,000 annually. USI's medical,
dental and vision programs provide for in-and-out of network coverages, with low
deductibles, or no deductibles, depending on your choice of program (this is the
same program offered at Jacuzzi).

<PAGE>

Pension Program

You will be covered by USI's defined benefit pension program, comprised of the
qualified pension plan and a supplemental plan for USI's executive officers. The
supplemental plan (the "SRP") provides for approximately 65% of your highest
five years of Base Salary, after 25 years of employment with USI, offset by the
benefits accrued under any qualified plan, including Jacuzzi's. Your employment
at Jacuzzi will count towards your SRP benefits.

Retirement Savings & Investment Plan

USI sponsors the USI Retirement Savings & Investment Plan (the 401(k) plan),
which covers eligible employees of USI and its domestic subsidiaries. This is
the same plan as at Jacuzzi; you will still become eligible effective on the
first of the month following the first anniversary of your employment with
Jacuzzi.

The Board, the other corporate executives and I congratulate you on your
appointment. We are looking forward to working with you in the continuation of
the transformation and progress of our company.

Regards,

David H. Clarke
Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
