                  (b)      Good Standing. Pledgor is qualified to do business
and in good standing wherever necessary to carry on its present business and
operations, except in jurisdictions in which the failure to be so qualified or

operations, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of Pledgor.

                  (c)      Authorization. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action by Pledgor.

by Pledgor of this Agreement will not (i) violate the Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws of Pledgor, (ii) violate any provision of law applicable
to Pledgor, or any order, judgment or decree of any court or other agency of
government binding on Pledgor, (iii) be in conflict with, result in a breach of,

the Pledged Equity constitutes all of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock
in Company and there are no outstanding warrants, options or other rights to
purchase, or other agreements outstanding with respect to, or property that is
now or hereafter convertible into, or that requires the issuance or sale of, any
Capital Stock of Company.

                  (h)      Ownership of Pledged Collateral. Pledgor is the
legal, record and beneficial owner of the Pledged Collateral and its interests
in the Pledged Collateral are free and clear of any Lien.

performance of this Agreement by Pledgor, or (iii) the exercise by Collateral

certificated securities, in addition to filing such financing statements,
delivery of the certificates representing such certificated securities to
Collateral Agent, duly endorsed or accompanied by duly executed instruments of
assignment or transfer in blank, the security interest in the Pledged Collateral
referred to in the immediately preceding sentence will constitute a perfected
security interest therein, to the extent the UCC is applicable thereto, prior to
all other Liens, securing the payment of the Secured Obligations, and all
filings and other actions in the United States necessary to perfect and protect
such security interest have been duly made or taken.

                  (k)      Office Location; Type and Jurisdiction of
Organization. The chief executive office of Pledgor is, as of the date hereof,

jurisdiction of incorporation is "Danielson Holding Corporation."

                  (l)      Names. Pledgor (or predecessor by merger or otherwise
of Pledgor) has not, within the five year period preceding the date hereof, had
a different name from the name of Pledgor listed on the signature pages hereof,
except the names set forth on Schedule III annexed hereto.

                  (m)      Margin Regulations. The pledge of the Pledged

                  (a)      not (i) sell, assign (by operation of law or
otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of

or (ii) create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the
Pledged Collateral;

                  (b)      (i) cause Company not to, issue any Capital Stock in
addition to or in substitution for the Pledged Equity issued by Company, except

pledge hereunder, immediately upon its acquisition (directly or indirectly)
thereof, any and all additional Capital Stock of Company issued to, or acquired
by, the Pledgor;

                  (c)      at its expense (i) perform and comply in all material
respects with all terms and provisions of any agreement related to the Pledged
Collateral required to be performed or complied with by it, (ii) maintain all
such agreements in full force and effect (except where the failure to maintain
such agreements will not materially adversely effect the Pledged Collateral),
and (iii) enforce all such agreements in accordance with their terms (except
where the failure to enforce such agreements will not materially adversely
effect the Pledged Collateral);

                  (d)      give Collateral Agent at least 30 days' prior written
notice of any (i) change in Pledgor's name, identity or corporate structure and
(ii) reincorporation, reorganization or other action that results in a change of

                  (e)      if any Pledged Collateral is not a security pursuant
to Section 8-103 of the UCC, not take any action that, under such Section,
converts such Pledged Collateral into a security without causing the issuer
thereof to issue to it certificates or instruments evidencing such Pledged
Collateral, which it shall promptly deliver to Collateral Agent as provided in
this Section 5.

                  SECTION 6. FURTHER ASSURANCES; PLEDGE AMENDMENTS.

                  (a)      Pledgor agrees that from time to time, at the expense
of Pledgor, Pledgor will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments
and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary, or that
Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the
security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable
Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with
respect to any Pledged Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Pledgor will: (i) execute (if necessary) and file such financing or
continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or
notices, as may be necessary, or as Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in
order to perfect and preserve the security interest granted or purported to be
granted hereby and (ii) at Collateral Agent's reasonable request,

DHC Stock Pledge Agreement

appear in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect Pledgor's title to
or Collateral Agent's security interests in all or any material part of the
Pledged Collateral. Pledgor hereby authorizes Collateral Agent to file one or
more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to
all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, as may be appropriate, including
without limitation, the financing statement to be filed with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware and any other filing offices listed on Schedule
II.

                  (b)      Pledgor further agrees that it will, upon obtaining
any additional Capital Stock in Company, promptly (and in any event within five
Business Days) deliver to Collateral Agent a Pledge Amendment, duly executed by
Pledgor, in substantially the form of Schedule IV annexed hereto (a "PLEDGE
AMENDMENT") together with supplements to the Schedules annexed hereto, as
applicable, to cause such Schedules to be complete and accurate at such time, in
respect of the additional Pledged Equity to be pledged pursuant to this
Agreement; provided that the failure of Pledgor to execute a Pledge Amendment
with respect to any additional Pledged Equity shall not impair the security
interest of Collateral Agent therein or otherwise adversely affect the rights
and remedies of Collateral Agent hereunder with respect thereto. Upon each such
acquisition, the representations and warranties contained in Section 4 hereof
shall be deemed to have been made by Pledgor as to the Pledged Collateral
described in such Pledge Amendment.

                  SECTION 7. VOTING RIGHTS; DIVIDENDS; ETC.

                  (a)      So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing:

         (i)      Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and
         other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any
         part thereof for any purpose not in violation of the terms of this
         Agreement or the Credit Documents; and

         (ii)     Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain, and to
         utilize free and clear of the lien of this Agreement, any and all
         dividends, other distributions and interest paid in respect of the
         Pledged Collateral; provided, however, that any and all

                           (A)      dividends and other distributions paid or
                  payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and
                  other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed
                  in respect of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral,

                           (B)      dividends and other distributions paid or
                  payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Collateral in
                  connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution
                  or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus
                  or paid-in-surplus, and

                           (C)      cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed
                  in redemption of or in exchange for any Pledged Collateral,

         in each case shall be, and shall forthwith be delivered to Collateral
         Agent to hold as, Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by Pledgor,
         be received in trust for the benefit of Collateral Agent, be segregated

         and be forthwith delivered to Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral in
         the same form as so received (with all necessary endorsements).

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge
that the Credit Agreements contain restrictions on the payment of dividends and
distributions on the Pledged Collateral, none of which restrictions are waived
or otherwise prejudiced hereby.

                  (b)      Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default:

         (i)      upon written notice from Collateral Agent to Pledgor, all
         rights of Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights
         that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section
         7(a)(i) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested
         in Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise
         such voting and other consensual rights until such time as Collateral
         Agent shall notify Pledgor that Pledgor may exercise such rights again
         pursuant to Section 7(a)(i);

         (ii)     except as otherwise provided in the Credit Documents, upon
         written notice from Collateral Agent to Pledgor all rights of Pledgor
         to receive the dividends and other distributions that it would
         otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section
         7(a)(ii) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested
         in Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to receive
         and hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends and other distributions
         until such time as Collateral Agent shall notify Pledgor that Pledgor
         may exercise such rights again pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii); and

         (iii)    all dividends and other distributions that are received by
         Pledgor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (ii) of this Section
         7(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of Collateral Agent,
         shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgor and shall forthwith be
         paid over to Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral in the same form as
         so received (with any necessary endorsements).

                  (c)      IRREVOCABLE PROXY. In order to permit Collateral
Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it may be entitled
to exercise pursuant to Section 7(b)(i) and to receive all dividends and other
distributions which it may be entitled to receive under Section 7(a)(ii) or

preceding clause (i), Pledgor hereby grants to Collateral Agent an IRREVOCABLE
PROXY to vote the Pledged Equity and to exercise all other rights, powers,
privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Equity would be
entitled (including, without limitation, giving or withholding written consents
of holders of the Pledge Equity, calling special meetings of holders of the
Pledged Equity and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective,
automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of
any Pledged Equity on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other

thereof), only upon the occurrence and during the continuance

                                      XI-8
<PAGE>

of an Event of Default, only to the extent Collateral Agent is entitled to
exercise such rights hereunder and which proxy shall only terminate upon the
payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent
indemnification Secured Obligations with respect to claims which have not yet
arisen).

                  SECTION 8. COLLATERAL AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.
Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Collateral Agent as Pledgor's
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Pledgor and in
the name of Pledgor, Collateral Agent or otherwise, from time to time in
Collateral Agent's discretion to take any action, subject to the Intercreditor
Agreement, and to execute any instrument that Collateral Agent may deem
necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including
without limitation:

                  (a)      upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive
and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in
respect of any of the Pledged Collateral;

                  (b)      upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, to receive, endorse and collect any instruments made payable
to Pledgor representing any dividend or other distribution in respect of the
Pledged Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same;

                  (c)      upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, to file any claims or take any action or institute any
proceedings that Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the
collection of any of the Pledged Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights
of Collateral Agent with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral;

                  (d)      with notice to the Pledgor, to pay or discharge taxes
or Liens levied or placed upon or threatened against the Pledged Collateral, the
legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to
be determined by Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, any such payments made
by Collateral Agent to become Secured Obligations; and

                  (e)      upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with
respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Pledged Collateral as fully and
completely as though Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all
purposes, and to do, at Collateral Agent's option and Pledgor's expense, at any
time or from time to time, all acts and things that Collateral Agent deems
necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Pledged Collateral and
Collateral Agent's security interest therein in order to effect the intent of
this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Pledgor might do.

                  SECTION 9. COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM; NO ASSUMPTION.

                  (a)      If Pledgor fails to perform any agreement contained
herein, Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such
agreement, and the expenses of

DHC Stock Pledge Agreement

                                      XI-9
<PAGE>

Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Pledgor
pursuant to Section 13(b).

                  (b)      Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, (i) Pledgor shall remain liable under any agreements included
in or related to the Pledged Collateral, to the extent set forth therein, to
perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if
this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by Collateral Agent of
any of its rights hereunder shall not release Pledgor from any of its duties or
obligations under any such agreements, and (iii) Collateral Agent shall not have
any obligation or liability under any such agreements by reason of this
Agreement, nor shall Collateral Agent be obligated to perform any of the
obligations or duties of Pledgor thereunder or to take any action to collect or
enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

                  SECTION 10. STANDARD OF CARE. The powers conferred on
Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Pledged
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.
Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Pledged
Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by
it hereunder, Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Pledged Collateral,
it being understood that Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for (a)
ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges,
maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Pledged Collateral, whether
or not Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, (b)
taking any necessary steps (other than steps taken in accordance with the
standard of care set forth above to maintain possession of the Pledged
Collateral) to preserve rights against any prior parties or any other rights
pertaining to any Pledged Collateral, (c) taking any necessary steps to collect
or realize upon the Secured Obligations or any guarantee therefor, or any part
thereof, or any of the Pledged Collateral, or (d) initiating any action to
protect the Pledged Collateral against the possibility of a decline in market
value. Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of Pledged Collateral in its possession if such Pledged
Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Collateral
Agent accords its own property consisting of Capital Stock.

                  SECTION 11. REMEDIES.

                  (a)      Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement,
if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Collateral Agent
may exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in addition to all other
rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the
rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not
the UCC applies to the affected Pledged Collateral), and Collateral Agent may
also in its sole discretion, without notice except as specified below, sell the
Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or
private sale, at any exchange or broker's board or at any of Collateral Agent's
offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time
or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Collateral
Agent may deem commercially reasonable, irrespective of the impact of any such
sales on the market price of the Pledged Collateral. Collateral Agent or any
Benefited Party (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) may be the
purchaser of any or all of the Pledged Collateral at any such sale, and
Collateral Agent, as

DHC Stock Pledge Agreement

                                     XI-10
<PAGE>

agent for and representative of Lenders (but not any Benefited Party in its
individual capacity unless Requisite Obligees shall otherwise agree in writing),
shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment
of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral sold at
any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a
credit on account of the purchase price for any Pledged Collateral payable by
Collateral Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the
property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of Pledgor,
and Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights
of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the
future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at
least ten days' notice to Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or
the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable
notification. Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of
Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Collateral
Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement
at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice,
be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Pledgor hereby
waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any claims against Collateral
Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Pledged
Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price
which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if Collateral Agent
accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Pledged Collateral to
more than one offeree.

                  (b)      Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain
prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time
amended (the "SECURITIES ACT"), and applicable state securities laws, Collateral
Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the
Pledged Collateral conducted without prior registration or qualification of such
Pledged Collateral under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws,
to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the
Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to
the distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor acknowledges that any such private
placement may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable
through a sale without such restrictions (including, without limitation, an
offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act)
and, notwithstanding such circumstances, Pledgor agrees that any such private
placement shall not be deemed, in and of itself, to be commercially unreasonable
and that Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to delay the sale of any
Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof
to register it for a form of sale requiring registration under the Securities
Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or
should, agree to so register it.

                  (c)      If Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right
to sell any or all of the Pledged Collateral, upon written request, Pledgor
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, and shall cause each issuer of any
Pledged Equity to be sold hereunder from time to time to furnish to Collateral
Agent all such information as Collateral Agent may request in order to,
determine the amount of Pledged Collateral that may be sold by Collateral Agent
in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to
time in effect.

DHC Stock Pledge Agreement

                                     XI-11
<PAGE>

                  (d)      Pledgor agrees that a breach of any of the covenants
contained in Section 11 will cause irreparable injury to Collateral Agent, that
Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as
a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in Section 11 shall be
specifically enforceable against Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives and agrees
(to the extent permitted by applicable law) not to assert any defenses against
an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that
no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and
payable prior to their stated maturities.

                  SECTION 12. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Except as expressly
provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by Collateral Agent
in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any
part of the Pledged Collateral (whether pursuant to the preceding sentence or
otherwise) shall be applied in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement.

                  SECTION 13. INDEMNITY AND EXPENSES.

                  (a)      Pledgor agrees to indemnify Collateral Agent and each
Benefited Party from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities in
any way relating to, growing out of or resulting from this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, enforcement of
this Agreement), except to the extent such claims, losses or liabilities result
solely from Collateral Agent's or such Benefited Party's gross negligence or
willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

                  (b)      Pledgor agrees to pay to Collateral Agent the amount
of any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of
its counsel and of any experts and agents, that Collateral Agent may incur in
connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or
preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any
of the Pledged Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the
rights of Collateral Agent hereunder, or (iv) the failure by Pledgor to perform
or observe any of the provisions hereof.

                  (c)      Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the obligations of Pledgor set forth in this Section 13 are
included herein solely for the purpose of including such obligations within the
Secured Obligations, and such obligations shall in all respects be limited by
the provisions of Section 27; accordingly, nothing in this Section 13 shall be
construed in a manner which shall obligate Pledgor to make any payment, or
provide any security, to Collateral Agent with respect to such obligations apart
from the grant of the security interest in the Pledged Collateral as set forth
in Section 1 hereof.

                  SECTION 14. CONTINUING SECURITY INTERESTS; TRANSFER OF LOANS.

                  (a)      This Agreement shall create a continuing security
interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect
until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent
indemnification Secured Obligations with respect to claims which have not yet
arisen), and the cancellation or termination of all commitments to extend credit
under the Credit Documents (collectively, the "COMMITMENTS"), (ii) be

DHC Stock Pledge Agreement

                                     XI-12
<PAGE>

binding upon Pledgor, its successors and assigns, and (iii) inure, together with
the rights and remedies of Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of
Collateral Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing clause (iii), but subject to the relevant
assignment provisions set forth in each of the Credit Documents and the
Intercreditor Agreement, (A) any Detroit L/C Agent or any Detroit L/C Lender may
assign or otherwise transfer its rights under the Detroit L/C Facility Agreement
to any other Person, and in each case such other Person shall thereupon become
vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Detroit L/C
Agent or such Detroit L/C Lender, as applicable, herein or otherwise (subject to
the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) (B) the New L/C Agent and any New L/C
Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights under the New L/C Facility
Agreement to any other Person, and in each case such other Person shall
thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to the
New L/C Agent or such New L/C Lender, as applicable, herein or otherwise
(subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) and (C) any High Yield
Noteholder may assign or otherwise transfer any High Yield Note to any other
Person in accordance with the High Yield Indenture, and such other Person shall
thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to High
Yield Noteholders herein or otherwise (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement).

                  (b)      Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations
(other than contingent indemnification Secured Obligations with respect to
claims which have not yet arisen), and the cancellation or termination of the
Commitments, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights
to the Pledged Collateral shall revert to Pledgor. Upon any such termination
Collateral Agent will, at Pledgor's expense, execute and deliver to Pledgor such
documents as Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. In
addition, upon the proposed sale, transfer or other disposition of any Pledged
Collateral by Pledgor (to the extent any such sale, transfer or other
disposition would not constitute an Event of Default) for which Pledgor desires
to obtain a security interest release from Collateral Agent, Pledgor shall
deliver an Officer's Certificate (x) stating that the sale, transfer or other
disposition of such Pledged Collateral would not constitute an Event of Default
and (y) specifying the Pledged Collateral being sold, transferred or otherwise
disposed of in the proposed transaction. Upon the receipt of such Officer's
Certificate and so long as no Event of Default would result from the proposed
sale, transfer or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral, Collateral Agent
shall, at Pledgor's expense, so long as Collateral Agent believes in good faith,
that the Officer's Certificate delivered by Pledgor with respect to such sale is
true, correct and complete, execute and deliver such releases of its security
interest in such Pledged Collateral which is to be so sold, transferred or
disposed of, as may be reasonably requested by Pledgor.

                  SECTION 15. COLLATERAL AGENT AS AGENT.

                  (a)      Pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, Collateral
Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by the Detroit L/C
Agents, the Detroit L/C Lenders, the High Yield Trustee for the benefit of the
High Yield Noteholders, the New L/C Agent, the New L/C Lenders and the Cash
Management Bank. Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right
hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from
exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including

DHC Stock Pledge Agreement

                                     XI-13
<PAGE>

without limitation the release or substitution of Pledged Collateral), solely in
accordance with this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Credit
Documents; provided that Collateral Agent shall exercise, or refrain from
exercising, any remedies provided for in Section 11 in accordance with the
instructions of Requisite Obligees.

                  (b)      Collateral Agent shall at all times be the same
Person that is Collateral Agent under the Intercreditor Agreement. Written
notice of resignation by Collateral Agent pursuant to subsections 6.1(h) or (i)
of the Intercreditor Agreement shall also constitute notice of resignation as
Collateral Agent under this Agreement; removal of Collateral Agent pursuant to
subsections 6.1(h) or (i) of the Intercreditor Agreement shall also constitute
removal as Collateral Agent under this Agreement; and appointment of a successor
Collateral Agent pursuant to subsections 6.1(h) or (i) of the Intercreditor
Agreement shall also constitute appointment of a successor Collateral Agent
under this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent
under subsections 6.1(h) or (i) of the Intercreditor Agreement by a successor
Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and
become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
or removed Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring or removed
Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such
successor Collateral Agent all sums, securities and other items of Collateral
held hereunder, together with all records and other documents necessary or
appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor
Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver to such
successor Collateral Agent such amendments to financing statements, and take
such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the
assignment to such successor Collateral Agent of the security interest created
hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any
retiring or removed Collateral Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as
Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as
to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it
was Collateral Agent hereunder.

                  SECTION 16. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

                  SECTION 17. AMENDMENTS; ETC. No amendment, modification,
termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any
departure by Pledgor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and signed by Collateral Agent and, in the case of any such
amendment or modification, by Pledgor. Any such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
it was given.

                  SECTION 18. NOTICES. Unless otherwise specifically provided
herein, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be
given shall be in writing and may be personally served, or sent by telefacsimile
or United States mail or courier service or electronic mail and shall be deemed
to have been given (a) when delivered in person or by courier service, (b) upon
receipt of telefacsimile in complete and legible form, or (c) three Business
Days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid and
properly addressed; provided that notices to Collateral Agent shall not be
effective until received. For the purposes hereof, the address of each party
hereto shall be as set forth under

DHC Stock Pledge Agreement

                                     XI-14
<PAGE>

such party's name on the signature pages hereof or such other address as shall
be designated by such Person in a written notice delivered to such other party
hereto.

                  SECTION 19. FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES
CUMULATIVE. No failure or delay on the part of Collateral Agent in the exercise
of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall impair such power, right or
privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or
privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative
to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

                  SECTION 20. SEVERABILITY. In case any provision in or
obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other
jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

                  SECTION 21. HEADINGS. Section and subsection headings in this
Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not
constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any
substantive effect.

                  SECTION 22. GOVERNING LAW; TERMS. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL
BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
(INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK), WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT
WOULD REQUIRE APPLICATION OF ANOTHER LAW, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE UCC
PROVIDES THAT THE PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST HEREUNDER, OR REMEDIES
HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR PLEDGED COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE
LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Unless otherwise
defined herein or in the Credit Documents, terms used in Articles 8 and 9 of the
UCC are used herein as therein defined. The rules of construction set forth in
subsection 1.3 of each Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement
mutatis mutandis.

                  SECTION 23. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF PROCESS.
ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST PLEDGOR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR
FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW
YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, PLEDGOR, FOR ITSELF AND IN
CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (I) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; (II)
WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (III) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL
PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR

DHC Stock Pledge Agreement

                                     XI-15
<PAGE>

CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO PLEDGOR AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 18; (IV) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (III)
ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER PLEDGOR IN ANY SUCH
PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING
SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT; (V) AGREES THAT COLLATERAL AGENT RETAINS THE RIGHT TO
SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS
AGAINST PLEDGOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION; AND (VI) AGREES THAT
THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 23 RELATING TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE SHALL BE
BINDING AND ENFORCEABLE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER NEW YORK GENERAL
OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTION 5-1402 OR OTHERWISE.

                  SECTION 24. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. PLEDGOR AND COLLATERAL AGENT
HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR
CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT. The scope of this
waiver is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be
filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of this transaction,
including without limitation contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty
claims, and all other common law and statutory claims. Pledgor and Collateral
Agent acknowledge that this waiver is a material inducement for Pledgor and
Collateral Agent to enter into a business relationship, that Pledgor and
Collateral Agent have already relied on this waiver in entering into this
Agreement and that each will continue to rely on this waiver in their related
future dealings. Pledgor and Collateral Agent further warrant and represent that
each has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, and that each knowingly
and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal
counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER
ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY
REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 24 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND
THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR
MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may
be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

                  SECTION 25. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in
one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an
original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the
same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate
counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages
are physically attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission
shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.

                  SECTION 26.  SURETYSHIP WAIVERS BY PLEDGOR, ETC.

                  (a)      Pledgor agrees that its obligations hereunder are
irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected
by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a
guarantor or surety other than payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other
than contingent indemnification Secured Obligations with respect to claims which
have not yet arisen). In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the
generality thereof, Pledgor agrees as follows: (i) Collateral Agent or any
Benefited Party may from time to time, without notice or demand and without
affecting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or giving rise to any
limitation, impairment or discharge of Pledgor's obligations hereunder, (A)
renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms
of payment of the Secured Obligations, (B) settle, compromise, release or
discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or
substitutions for, the Secured Obligations or any agreement relating thereto
and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other
obligations, (C) request and accept guaranties of the Secured Obligations and
take and hold other security for the payment of the Secured Obligations, (D)
release, exchange, compromise, subordinate or modify, with or without
consideration, any other security for payment of the Secured Obligations, any
guaranties of the Secured Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person
with respect to the Secured Obligations, (E) enforce and apply any other
security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of Collateral Agent or any
Benefited Party in respect of the Secured Obligations and direct the order or
manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that Collateral
Agent or any Benefited Party, or any of them, may have against any such
security, as Collateral Agent in its discretion may determine consistent with
the Credit Documents and any applicable security agreement, including
foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial
sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable,
and (F) exercise any other rights available to Collateral Agent or any Benefited
Party under the Credit Documents at law or in equity; and (ii) this Agreement
and the obligations of Pledgor hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and
shall not be subject to any limitation, impairment or discharge for any reason
(other than payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent
indemnification Secured Obligations with respect to claims which have not yet
arisen)), including without limitation the occurrence of any of the following,
whether or not Pledgor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (A)
any failure to assert or enforce or agreement not to assert or enforce, or the
stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the

Obligations, (F) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which any Borrower may
allege or assert against Collateral Agent or any Benefited Party in respect of
the Secured Obligations, including but not limited to failure of consideration,
breach of warranty, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and

                  (b)      Pledgor hereby waives, for the benefit of Benefited

other Person, (B) proceed against or exhaust any other security held from any

the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any
Borrower including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of

liability of any Borrower from any cause other than payment in full of all
Secured Obligations; (iii) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law
which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount
nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (iv) any
defense based upon Collateral Agent's or any Benefited Party's errors or
omissions in the administration of the Secured Obligations, except behavior
which amounts to gross negligence or willful misconduct; (v) (A) any principles
or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict
with the terms of this Agreement and any legal or equitable discharge of
Pledgor's obligations hereunder, (B) the benefit of any statute of limitations
affecting Pledgor's liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (C) any
rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (D) promptness, diligence

by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or
which may conflict with the terms of this Agreement.

                  (c)      Until the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in
full and the Commitments shall have terminated, Pledgor shall withhold exercise
of (i) any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that Pledgor now has or
may hereafter have against any Borrower or any assets of any Borrower in
connection with this Agreement or the performance by Pledgor of its obligations
hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity,
under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including without
limitation (A) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that
Pledgor now

                                     XI-18
<PAGE>

has or may hereafter have against any Borrower, (B) any right to enforce, or to
participate in, any claim, right or remedy that Collateral Agent or any
Benefited Party now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower, and (C) any
benefit of, and any right to participate in, any other collateral or security
now or hereafter held by Collateral Agent or any Benefited Party, and (ii) any
right of contribution Pledgor now has or may hereafter have against any
guarantor of any of the Secured Obligations. Pledgor further agrees that, to the
extent the agreement to withhold exercise of its rights of subrogation,
reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by
a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any
rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification Pledgor may have against
any Borrower or against any other collateral or security, and any rights of
contribution Pledgor may have against any such guarantor, shall be junior and
subordinate to any rights Collateral Agent or Benefited Parties may have against
such Borrower, to all right, title and interest Collateral Agent or Benefited
Parties may have in any such other collateral or security, and to any right
Collateral Agent or Benefited Parties may have against any such guarantor.

                  (d)      Benefited Parties and Collateral Agent shall have no
obligation to disclose or discuss with Pledgor their respective assessments, or
Pledgor's assessment, of the financial condition of Borrowers. Pledgor has
adequate means to obtain information from Borrowers on a continuing basis
concerning the financial condition of Borrowers and their ability to perform
their obligations under the Credit Documents and Pledgor assumes the
responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of
Borrowers and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the
Secured Obligations. Pledgor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part
of Collateral Agent or any Benefited Party to disclose any matter, fact or thing
relating to the business, operations or condition of Borrowers now known or
hereafter known by Collateral Agent or any Benefited Party.

                  SECTION 27. LIMITED RECOURSE. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, no recourse shall be had, whether by levy or
execution, or under any law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty
or otherwise, for the payment of any of the Secured Obligations, against Pledgor
individually or personally, any successor or Affiliate of Pledgor, or any of the
assets of the aforesaid persons, it being expressly understood that the sole
remedies available to Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties pursuant to this
Agreement with respect to the Secured Obligations shall be against the Pledged
Collateral; provided that nothing in this Section 27 shall (i) constitute a
waiver, release or discharge of any of the Secured Obligations, but the same
shall continue until fully paid, discharged, observed or performed, or (ii) in
any way limit or restrict any right of Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties
to foreclose the Liens and the security interest granted pursuant to this
Agreement or otherwise realize upon any of the Pledged Collateral.

         promptly following Borrowers' certification of such excess; provided,
         however, that such release shall not be required if, at the time such
         release would otherwise be required, a Detroit L/C Event of Default or
         New L/C Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

                  (d) Any Mandatory Payments made pursuant to subsection
         2.3A(i)(g) of the Detroit L/C Facility Agreement and subsection
         2.4A(iii)(g) of the New L/C Facility Agreement shall be applied

                  (e) All Mandatory Prepayments of the New L/C Aggregate
         Exposure referenced in subsections 4.1(a) and 4.1(b) shall be applied

         applied to New L/C Exposure being applied to repay all funded amounts,
         if any, under the New L/Cs and then to cash collateralize the New L/C
         Exposure outstanding (after giving effect to the foregoing repayment)
         in an amount, taken together with all then existing cash collateral for
         such New L/C Exposure, equal to 105% of such New L/C Exposure, and,
         concurrently with any such repayment or cash collateralization of New
         L/C Exposure, effecting a permanent reduction in the New L/C Commitment
         by the amount of such repayment or cash collateralization of New L/C
         Exposure; second, to repay outstanding New Revolving Loans to the full
         extent thereof and to concurrently permanently reduce (x) the New L/C
         Commitments and (y) to the extent that any such reduction in New L/C
         Commitments would cause the New L/C Commitments to be less than the
         Revolver Loan Commitments then in effect, the Revolver Commitments by
         the amount of such difference; and third, to permanently reduce the
         unutilized New L/C Commitments and, to the extent that any reduction in
         New L/C Commitments would cause the New L/C Commitments to be less than
         the Revolver Loan Commitments then in effect, to permanently and
         concurrently reduce the Revolver Commitments by the amount of such
         difference.

                  (a) Except as provided in subsection 4.2(c) and 4.2(d) below,

         of Detroit L/C Commitments, or if requested by Requisite New L/C
         Lenders with respect to any New L/C Event of Default and termination of
         New L/C Aggregate Commitments, or holders of more than 50% of the High
         Yield Notes with respect to a High Yield Event of Default, (1) all
         Mandatory Payments or other payments received by any Agent or other
         Secured Party on account of the Obligations, whether from any Loan
         Party or otherwise, shall promptly be delivered to Collateral Agent and

         the Secured Obligations and (2) all Proceeds received by Collateral
         Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization
         upon all or any part of the Collateral or other Enforcement Action may,

         been commenced by or against any Loan Party and subsection 8.1 of the
         Detroit L/C Facility Agreement and New L/C Facility Agreement, the High

         Agreement with respect to any drawing of any New L/C that is honored by
         the New L/C Issuing Lender, then such Management Services Agreement
         Beneficiaries shall apply such payment to reimburse New L/C Issuing
         Lender (and any New L/C Lender that has funded its participation
         therein) for such honored drawing.

                  (c) Cash collateral held by Collateral Agent pursuant to the
         Security Agreement shall be held for the purposes set forth therein.
         Notwithstanding anything in the other Credit Documents to the Company,
         if during any period in which the provisions of subsection 4.2(a) are
         applicable, (i) the Detroit L/C Commitments and the obligation of the
         Detroit L/C Lenders to issue and maintain Detroit L/Cs have terminated
         and all Detroit L/C Obligations have been fully satisfied in cash and
         no Detroit L/Cs are then outstanding, then any cash collateral held by
         Collateral Agent to cash collateralize Detroit L/C Obligations shall be
         applied in accordance with subsection 4.2(a); and (ii) the New L/C
         Aggregate Commitments and the obligation of the Issuing Lenders to
         issue or maintain New L/Cs have terminated and all New L/C Obligations
         have been fully satisfied in cash and no New L/Cs are then outstanding,
         then any cash collateral held by Collateral Agent to cash collateralize

         4.2(a).

                  (d) Until Proceeds are applied as set forth in this subsection
         4.2, Collateral Agent shall hold such Proceeds in its custody in
         accordance with its regular procedures for handling deposited funds.

                  (e) Payments by Collateral Agent to the Detroit L/C Lenders in
         respect of the Detroit L/C Obligations shall be made to the Detroit L/C
         Facility Agent for distribution to the Detroit L/C Lenders in
         accordance with the Detroit L/C Facility Agreement and this Agreement;
         payments by Collateral Agent to the New L/C Lenders in respect of the
         New L/C Obligations shall be made to the New L/C Agent for distribution
         to the New L/C Lenders in accordance with the New L/C Facility
         Agreement and this Agreement; payments in respect of any High Yield
         Obligations shall be paid to the High Yield Trustee for the benefit of

         the Cash Management Obligations shall be made to Cash Management Bank
         for the benefit of Cash Management Bank.

                  (f) In the event that any Secured Party shall receive any
         Distribution that such Secured Party is not entitled to receive or
         retain under the provisions of this Agreement (in such capacity, each,
         a "JUNIOR CREDITOR"), such Junior Creditor shall hold any such
         Distribution so received in trust for the benefit of the holders of
         other Secured Obligations with the right to receive such Distribution
         under the provisions of this Agreement (in such capacity, each, a
         "SENIOR CREDITOR") and shall segregate such

Domestic Intercreditor Agreement

                                       28

<PAGE>

         Distribution from other assets held by such Junior Creditor; and shall
         forthwith turn over such Distribution (without liability for interest
         thereon, but with any appropriate endorsements or assignments, if
         necessary) to the holders of, or to Collateral Agent for the benefit of
         the holders of, such Secured Obligations in the form received (with any
         appropriate endorsement or assignment, if necessary) to be distributed
         in accordance with subsection 4.1 or 4.2, as applicable, and applied to
         such Secured Obligations. In the event of a failure of any Junior
         Creditor to make any such endorsement or assignment to Collateral Agent
         or Senior Creditors, as the case may be, Collateral Agent and such
         Senior Creditors are hereby irrevocably authorized on behalf of such
         Junior Creditor to make such endorsement or assignment, as applicable.

                  (g) No payment or distribution to any Senior Creditor pursuant
         to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle the applicable Junior
         Creditor or Junior Creditors to exercise any right of subrogation in
         respect thereof until (i) all Secured Obligations of such Senior
         Creditors (including with respect to any outstanding letters of credit)
         shall have been indefeasibly Paid in Full, or (ii) all of such Senior
         Creditors have consented in writing to the taking of such action. With
         respect to any subrogation claims, each Junior Creditor hereby (to the
         extent permitted by applicable law) waives, releases and discharges any
         and all rights, claims, causes of action, liabilities, claims and
         demands, in law or equity, which such Junior Creditor has had, now has,
         or may in the future have, arising out of or relating directly or
         indirectly to the taking or not taking of any act or proceeding or not
         proceeding with any action which the Senior Creditors (or that
         representatives) may take in an effort to collect in respect of the
         Secured Obligations owed to such Senior Creditors.

                  (h) In furtherance of, and without limiting, the priority
         provisions set forth in this subsection 4.2, but subject to the
         applicable voting provisions set forth in subsection 2.2, each Creditor
         Party and High Yield Trustee (and, by their acceptance of the benefits
         hereof and of the Collateral Documents, each High Yield Noteholder)
         agrees that, in order to enable Collateral Agent to enforce its rights
         hereunder in any Bankruptcy Proceeding, Collateral Agent is hereby
         irrevocably authorized and empowered in its sole and absolute
         discretion to receive and collect any and all dividends or other
         payments or disbursements made on account of Collateral Agent's Lien on
         the Collateral in whatever form the same may be paid or issued and to
         apply the same on account of any such Secured Obligations in accordance
         with the provisions of the Credit Documents and this Agreement. At any
         time, including but not limited to during any Bankruptcy Proceeding,
         Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party will refrain from taking
         any action which would contest or challenge in any administrative,
         legal or equitable action or otherwise the validity or enforceability
         of the terms of this Agreement, including the priority provisions
         contained in this subsection 4.2 and the Lien priority provisions
         contained in subsection 3.1.

                  (i) Each Secured Party hereby covenants and agrees that (i)
         except for the guaranty of the High Yield Obligations by High Yield
         Guarantors pursuant to the High Yield Indenture and any New Investor
         Assurances, such Secured Party will not accept from any Person on
         behalf of the Borrowers any guarantee (a "THIRD-PARTY GUARANTY") of any
         Secured Obligations unless such guarantor simultaneously guarantees the
         payment

Domestic Intercreditor Agreement
                                       29

<PAGE>

         all Secured Obligations owed to each of the other Secured Parties (or,
         if such Third-Party Guaranty guarantees only a portion of the
         Obligations owing to such Secured Party, such Secured Party will not
         accept such Third-Party Guaranty unless such guarantor simultaneously
         guarantees the same proportion of Secured Obligations owing to the
         other Secured Parties), and (ii) such Secured Party will not take,
         accept or obtain any security interest in, or lien or encumbrance upon,
         any assets of any of the Borrowers or any Subsidiary (including any
         CPIH Subsidiary) or Affiliate thereof or any other Person to secure the
         payment and performance of the Obligations unless the Collateral Agent,
         for the benefit of all Secured Parties, is granted a pari passu
         security interest in, or lien upon, such assets, in either case,
         pursuant to documents in form and substance satisfactory to Detroit L/C
         Facility Agent and New L/C Agent.

                  (j) Each Junior Creditor hereby waives any rights it may have
         under applicable law to assert the doctrine of marshalling or to
         otherwise require Collateral Agent or any Senior Creditors to marshal
         any property of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates
         for the benefit of such Junior Creditors.

                                    SECTION V

         notify Collateral Agent of: (A) the aggregate amount of principal of

         shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such information.

                  (b) New L/C Agent agrees promptly from time to time to (i)

         maintained for such purpose by the High Yield Trustee or such
         registrar, as the case may be, and Collateral Agent shall be entitled

                  6.1 DISCLAIMERS, SUPPLEMENTAL COLLATERAL AGENT, INDEMNITY,
ETC.

                  (a) Collateral Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities
         except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Collateral
         Documents and Collateral Agent shall not by reason of this Agreement or
         the Collateral Documents be a trustee for any Secured Party or have any
         other fiduciary obligation to any Secured Party (including any

         Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to any Secured Party for any
         recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this
         Agreement or any other Credit Document or in any certificate or other
         document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them
         under, this Agreement or any Credit Document, or for the value,
         validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of
         this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any other document
         referred to or provided for therein or any Lien under the Collateral
         Documents or the perfection or priority of any such Lien or for any
         failure by any Loan Party to perform any of its respective obligations
         under this Agreement or any other Credit Document. Collateral Agent may
         exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or
         through its Affiliates, agents or employees.

                  (b) Neither Collateral Agent nor any of its officers,

         Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Collateral Agent shall
         be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action

         or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it
         hereunder or thereunder unless and until Collateral Agent shall have
         received instructions in respect thereof from Requisite Obligees (or
         such other Secured Parties as may be required to give such instructions
         under subsection 2.4(a)) and, upon receipt of such instructions from
         Requisite Obligees (or such other Secured Parties, as the case may be),
         Collateral Agent

         such instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the
         foregoing, (i) Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be
         fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or
         document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been
         signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and shall be entitled
         to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of
         attorneys (who may be attorneys for Company and its Subsidiaries),
         accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it;
         and (ii) no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever
         against an Agent as a result of Collateral Agent acting or (where so
         instructed) refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the
         other Collateral Documents or other Credit Documents in accordance with
         the instructions of Requisite Obligees (or such other Secured Parties
         as may be required to give such instructions under subsection 2.4(a)).

                  (c) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the Collateral
         Documents and other Credit Documents that there shall be no violation
         of any law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of
         banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or
         trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of
         litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Collateral
         Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the
         Collateral Documents, or in case Collateral Agent deems that by reason
         of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise
         any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the
         Collateral Documents or other Credit Documents or take any other action
         which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be
         necessary that Collateral Agent appoint an additional individual or
         institution as a separate trustee, co-trustee, collateral agent or
         collateral co-agent (any such additional individual or institution
         being referred to herein individually as a "SUPPLEMENTAL COLLATERAL
         AGENT" and collectively as "SUPPLEMENTAL COLLATERAL AGENTS").

                  In the event that Collateral Agent appoints a Supplemental
         Collateral Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every
         right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement
         or any of the other Collateral Documents to be exercised by or vested
         in or conveyed to Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral
         shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Collateral Agent
         to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such
         Supplemental Collateral Agent to exercise such rights, powers and
         privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties
         with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation
         contained in the Collateral Documents and necessary to the exercise or
         performance thereof by such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall run to
         and be enforceable by either Collateral Agent or such Supplemental
         Collateral Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Agreement that refer
         to Collateral Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental
         Collateral Agent and all references herein to Collateral Agent shall be
         deemed to be references to Collateral Agent and/or such Supplemental
         Collateral Agent, as the context may require.

                  Should any instrument in writing from any Loan Party be
         required by any Supplemental Collateral Agent so appointed by
         Collateral Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming
         to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties,

                                       32

<PAGE>

         such Loan Party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such
         instruments promptly upon request by Collateral Agent. In case any
         Supplemental Collateral Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die,
         become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights,
         powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, to
         the extent permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by
         Collateral Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Collateral
         Agent.

                  (d) Each Detroit L/C Lender and New L/C Lender (other than New
         L/C Issuing Lender for so long as New L/C Issuing Lender does not have
         any New L/C Aggregate Commitments), ratably in accordance with the
         amount of the Secured Obligations of such Detroit L/C Lenders and all
         New L/C Lenders, secured by the Collateral Documents, severally agrees
         that it shall indemnify Collateral Agent and the officers, directors,
         employees, agents, attorneys, professional advisors and affiliates of
         Collateral Agent to the extent that any such Person is neither
         reimbursed by any Loan Party under any Loan Document nor reimbursed out
         of any Proceeds pursuant to clause First of subsection 4.2(a), for and
         against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
         penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including
         counsel fees and disbursements and fees and fees and disbursements of
         any advisor engaged by Collateral Agent) or disbursements of any kind
         and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
         against Collateral Agent or any such Person exercising the powers,
         rights and remedies of a Collateral Agent or performing duties of a
         Collateral Agent hereunder or under the other Collateral Documents or
         in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Collateral
         Document or any other Credit Document or any other documents
         contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to therein or the
         transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any
         of the terms of any thereof; provided, however, that no Detroit L/C
         Lender nor New L/C Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to
         the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
         of Collateral Agent as determined by a final judgment of a court of
         competent jurisdiction. If for any reason a New L/C Lender shall fail
         to make any payment to Collateral Agent when due hereunder, then,
         without in anyway limiting any right or remedy Collateral Agent may
         have against such New L/C Lender with respect thereto, such New L/C
         Lender agrees that, as provided in subsection 4.2, deductions from
         distributions otherwise due with respect to the New L/C Obligations
         will be made so that all New L/C Lenders shall share with the Detroit
         L/C Lenders, ratably in accordance with the amount (without
         duplication) of such New L/C Obligations secured by the Collateral
         Documents, the payment of the amounts due under the preceding sentence.
         The High Yield Trustee, on behalf of the holders of the High Yield
         Obligations, agrees, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, that, as
         provided in subsection 4.2, deductions from distributions otherwise due
         such holders of High Yield Obligations will be made so that such
         holders of High Yield Obligations shall share with the Detroit L/C
         Lenders and New L/C Lenders, ratably in accordance with the amount
         (without duplication) of such High Yield Obligations secured by the
         Collateral Documents, the payment of the amounts due under the first
         sentence of this subsection 6.1(d). No Detroit L/C Agent nor New L/C
         Agent, in their respective capacities as Detroit L/C Agents and New L/C
         Agent, shall have any liability to any Party under this subsection
         6.1(d).

                  (e) The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect
         any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations
         upon, Collateral Agent in its individual capacity as a Detroit L/C
         Agent, Detroit L/C Lender, New L/C Lender or High Yield Noteholder, as
         the case may be, hereunder or under any Credit Document. With respect
         to its participation in the Detroit L/C Obligations, New L/C
         Obligations and High Yield Obligations, Collateral Agent shall have the
         same rights and powers hereunder as any other Secured Party and may
         exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties and
         functions delegated to it hereunder. Collateral Agent and its
         Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, acquire equity
         interests in and generally engage in any kind of commercial banking,
         investment banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with
         Company or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the
         duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration
         from any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement and
         otherwise without having to account for the same to Secured Parties.

                  (f) Collateral Agent may deem and treat the payee of any
         promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness relating to the
         Secured Obligations as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless
         and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof,
         signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to Collateral Agent,
         shall have been filed with Collateral Agent. Any request, authority or
         consent of any Person who at the time of making such request or giving
         such authority or consent is the holder of any such note or other
         evidence of indebtedness shall be conclusive and binding on any
         subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such note or other
         evidence of indebtedness and of any note or notes or other evidences of
         indebtedness issued in exchange therefor. Notwithstanding anything to
         the contrary contained in the Detroit L/C Facility Documents or the New
         L/C Facility Documents, (i) no assignment or transfer of any interest
         of any (A) Detroit L/C Lender in the Detroit L/C Exposure or Detroit
         L/Cs (including pursuant to any refinancing, restatement, replacement
         or extension of the Detroit L/C Facility Agreement not prohibited
         hereunder), and (B) no transfer of any interest of any New L/C Lender
         in the New L/C Aggregate Exposure or the New L/Cs (including pursuant
         to any refinancing, restatement, replacement or extension of the New
         L/C Facility Agreement not prohibited hereunder) and (ii) no
         appointment (A) of any successor Detroit L/C Facility Agent or Detroit
         L/C Document Agent under the Detroit L/C Facility Agreement (including
         pursuant to any refinancing, restatement, replacement or extension of
         the Detroit L/C Facility Agreement not prohibited hereunder), (B) any
         successor New L/C Agent under the New L/C Facility Agreement (including
         pursuant to any refinancing, restatement, replacement or extension of
         the New L/C Facility Agreement not prohibited hereunder); or (C) any
         successor High Yield Trustee pursuant to the High Yield Indenture may
         in any case be made unless such successor, transferee, assignee or any
         Person who became a lender pursuant to a refinancing, restatement,
         replacement or extension of the Detroit L/C Facility Agreement, New L/C
         Facility Agreement, or High Yield Indenture, as the case may be,
         executes an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex 1 hereto shall be
         made unless the transferee executes an Assumption Agreement in the form
         of Annex 1 hereto.

                  (g) Except as expressly provided herein and in the Collateral
         Documents, Collateral Agent shall have no duty to take any affirmative
         steps with respect to the

Domestic Intercreditor Agreement
                                       34

<PAGE>

         collection of amounts payable in respect of the Collateral. Collateral
         Agent shall incur no liability to any Secured Party as a result of any
         sale of any Collateral at any private sale.

                  (h) Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving at least
         30 days' notice thereof to the Parties and Collateral Agent may be
         removed as Collateral Agent at any time by Requisite Obligees. In the
         event of such resignation or removal of Collateral Agent, Requisite
         Obligees shall thereupon have the right to appoint a successor
         Collateral Agent. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been so
         appointed by Requisite Obligees within 30 days after the resigning
         Collateral Agent's giving notice of its intention to resign, then the
         resigning Collateral Agent may appoint, on behalf of Secured Parties, a
         successor Collateral Agent and Company hereby agrees to pay to such
         successor Collateral Agent, in addition to any other amounts payable to
         Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Collateral Documents, such
         reasonable annual fees in such amounts and at such times as may be
         requested by such successor Collateral Agent.

                  (i) Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent
         hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral
         Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
         powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Collateral
         Agent under this Agreement and under the Collateral Documents. After
         any retiring or removed Collateral Agent's resignation or removal
         hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this subsection 6.1
         shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions
         taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Collateral
         Agent.

                  (j) In no event shall Collateral Agent or any Secured Party be
         liable or responsible for any funds or investments of funds held by any
         Loan Party.

                  (k) Upon the proposed sale or other disposition of any
         Collateral that is permitted by the Facility Agreements and not
         prohibited by subsection 2.4(a) or to which Requisite Obligees have
         otherwise consented pursuant to an Enforcement Action, for which a Loan
         Party desires to obtain a security interest release from Collateral
         Agent, such Loan Party shall deliver an Officer's Certificate to
         Collateral Agent, Detroit L/C Agent and New L/C Agent (i) stating that
         the Collateral or the Capital Stock subject to such disposition is
         being sold or otherwise disposed of in compliance with the terms hereof
         and of the Facility Agreements and (ii) specifying the Collateral or
         Capital Stock being sold or otherwise disposed of in the proposed
         transaction. Upon the receipt of such Officer's Certificate, Collateral
         Agent shall, at Loan Parties' (other than DHC's), joint and several
         expense, so long as Senior Agent has not informed Collateral Agent that
         it (a) has reason to believe that the facts stated in such Officer's
         Certificate are not true and correct and (b) if the sale or other
         disposition of such item of Collateral or Capital Stock constitutes an
         Asset Sale (as defined in each Facility Agreement), has not received
         evidence satisfactory to it that arrangements satisfactory to it have
         been made for delivery of the Net Asset Sale Proceeds (as defined in
         each Facility Agreement) if and as required by subsection 2.3 of the
         respective Facility Agreement, execute and deliver such releases of its
         security interest in such Collateral as may be reasonably requested by
         such Loan Party. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between
         this subsection 6.1(k) and the terms of any other Credit Document, the
         terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

                  (l) Concurrently with any Subsidiary of Company becoming
         Additional Detroit L/C Borrower or Additional New L/C Borrower, such
         Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to Collateral Agent a counterpart
         to this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex 2
         ("COUNTERPART"). Upon delivery of any such Counterpart to Collateral
         Agent, each such Additional Detroit L/C Borrower or Additional New L/C
         Borrower shall be a Detroit L/C Borrower or New L/C Borrower, as
         applicable, and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional
         Detroit L/C Borrower or Additional New L/C Borrower were an original
         signatory hereto. Each Borrower expressly agrees that its obligations
         arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition
         or release of any other Borrower hereunder, nor by any election of
         Collateral Agent or Secured Party not to cause any Subsidiary of
         Company to become an Additional Detroit L/C Borrower or Additional New
         L/C Borrower, as applicable, hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully
         effective as to any Borrower that is or becomes a party hereto
         regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or
         ceases to be a Borrower hereunder.

                                   SECTION VII

                  7.1 MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a) All notices and other communications provided for herein
         shall be in writing and may be personally served, or sent by
         telefacsimile or United States mail or courier service or electronic
         mail (as further provided in this clause (a)) and shall be deemed to
         have been given (i) when delivered in person or by courier service,
         (ii) upon receipt of telefacsimile in complete and legible form, (iii)
         three Business Days after deposit in the United States mail with
         postage prepaid and properly addressed, or (iv) in the case of
         electronic mail to the extent provided in this clause (a); provided
         that notices to Collateral Agent shall not be effective until received.
         For the purposes hereof, the addresses of the parties hereto (until
         notice of a change thereof is delivered as provided in this subsection
         7.1(a)) shall be as set forth under each party's name on the signature
         pages (including acknowledgments) hereof. Notices and other
         communications to the Lenders, Detroit L/C Agents and New L/C Agent
         hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication
         (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to
         procedures approved by Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent or any
         Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other
         communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to
         procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures
         may be limited to particular notices or communications.

                  (b) No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any
         provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any
         Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written
         concurrence of Requisite Detroit L/C Lenders and Requisite New L/C
         Lenders; provided that (i) no such amendment, modification, termination
         or waiver shall, without the consent of each Lender with Secured
         Obligations directly affected thereby, amend,

Domestic Intercreditor Agreement
                                       36

<PAGE>

         modify, terminate or waive, or have the effect of amending, modifying,
         terminating or waiving, the definition of "Requisite Obligees", (ii) no
         such amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall, without the
         consent of each Lender and Agent with Secured Obligations directly
         affected thereby, amend, modify, terminate or waive, or have the effect
         of amending, modifying, terminating or waiving (A) subsection 3.1 or
         4.2 or this subsection 7.1(a), or (B) any other provision of this
         Agreement in a manner that would impose any additional material
         obligations on any Lender or Agent or prejudice any material rights or
         remedies of such Lender or Agent, (iii) no amendment, modification,
         termination or waiver of any provision of subsection 2.1 or 2.2 or
         Section 5 or 6 or of any other provision of this Agreement which, by
         its terms, expressly requires the approval or concurrence of Collateral
         Agent shall be effective without the written concurrence of Collateral
         Agent; or (iv) no such amendment, modification, termination or waiver
         of this Agreement shall materially increase or materially adversely
         affect obligations of any Loan Party or adversely affect any rights of
         Loan Party under the other Credit Documents in each case without such
         loan party's prior consent; provided, further, that no amendment,
         modification, termination or waiver shall (1) reduce or otherwise
         adversely affect the right of the High Yield Trustee to request or
         direct Collateral Agent to take action on the terms set forth in
         subsection 2.1(a), or (2) subordinate in right of payment the High
         Yield Obligations, or (3) modify or otherwise alter in any manner
         adverse to the holders of the High Yield Notes the priority of such
         holders' Lien in the Collateral as provided in subsection 3.1 as in
         effect on the date hereof or the right of such holders to receive
         Proceeds in the amount and order of priority and under the
         circumstances described in subsections 4.1(a) and 4.2(a), as in effect
         on the date hereof. To the extent (if any) the provisions of this
         Agreement are inconsistent with the provisions set forth in any
         Facility Agreement or the High Yield Indenture in any particular
         circumstance, then the provisions set forth in this Agreement shall
         prevail to the extent necessary to eliminate or avoid such
         inconsistency in such circumstance.

                  (c) Subject to the provisions of subsection 6.1(f), this
         Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Collateral
         Agent, each other Party and each Secured Party and their respective
         successors and assigns, including, subject to compliance with the
         provisions of subsection 6.1(f), successors to Detroit L/C Agents, New
         L/C Agent and any Lenders and High Yield Trustee under the Detroit L/C
         Facility Agreement, New L/C Facility, and High Yield Indenture, as
         applicable.

                  (d) This Agreement may be executed in any number of
         counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the
         same instrument, and any of the parties hereto may execute this
         Agreement by signing any such counterpart.

                  (e) This Agreement shall become effective on the Closing Date
         and upon the execution of this Agreement by each Loan Party, New L/C
         Lender and Detroit L/C Lender and New L/C Agent, Detroit L/C Agents,
         High Yield Trustee and Collateral Agent.

                  (f) The Collateral Agent may deem and treat the Secured
         Parties executing and delivering this Agreement and the High Yield
         Noteholders as the "Secured Parties" for all purposes hereof unless and
         until a notice of the assignment or transfer of any interest held by
         such Party shall have been filed with the Collateral Agent in
         accordance with subsection 6.1(f). The Company agrees that it will
         advise the Collateral Agent of any transfer by any Creditor Party of
         any Detroit L/C Exposure or New L/C Aggregate

Domestic Intercreditor Agreement
                                       37

<PAGE>

         Exposure held by such Creditor Party and will, from time to time upon
         request of the Collateral Agent, deliver a list to the Collateral Agent
         (which shall be distributed by the Collateral Agent to each Creditor
         Party) setting forth, for the Detroit L/C Exposure and New L/C
         Aggregate Exposure, the unpaid principal amount (or outstanding undrawn
         letters of credit with respect thereto) and holder thereof. The
         Collateral Agent may rely on such list unless, after the distribution
         thereof, the Collateral Agent is notified by a Secured Party that such
         information as set forth on such list is inaccurate.
