          SECTION 2. PRIORITY OF LIENS

          2.1 Lien Subordination. Notwithstanding the date, manner or order of
grant, attachment or perfection of any Junior Lien or of any Senior Lien and
notwithstanding any provision of the UCC, any applicable Requirement of Law, any
Collateral Document, any alleged or actual defect or deficiency in any of the
foregoing or any other circumstance whatsoever, the Junior Agent, on behalf of
each Junior Secured Party, agrees that:

          (a) any Senior Lien, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant,
statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be and shall remain
senior and prior to any Junior Lien (whether or not such Senior Lien is
subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation); and

          (b) any Junior Lien, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant,
statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and
subordinate in all respects to any Senior Lien.

          2.2 Prohibition on Contesting Liens. The Junior Agent, on behalf of
each Junior Secured Party, agrees that it shall not, and hereby waives any
right, prior to the payment in full of the Credit Agreement Claims, to:

          (a) raise any objection or otherwise contest, or support any other
Person in raising any objection or contesting, in any proceeding (including any
Enforcement Action or Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or in any related
action or proceeding), the priority, validity or enforceability of any Senior
Lien (including the priority set forth herein with respect to any Junior Lien);
or

          (b) demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or claim the benefit of
any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other right which it may have under
applicable Requirements of Law in respect of the Credit Agreement Collateral or
the Senior Liens, except to the extent that such rights are expressly granted in
this Agreement.

          2.3 New Liens.

          (a) The Junior Agent agrees that, prior to the payment in full of the
Credit Agreement Claims, if the Junior Agent shall acquire any Lien on any
Credit Agreement Collateral that is not subject to a first-priority Lien of the
Senior Agent, the Junior Agent shall, upon demand by the Senior Agent,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Junior Documents, assign
such Lien to the Senior Agent as security for the Credit Agreement Claims (in
which case the Junior Agent may retain a junior lien on such Credit Agreement
Collateral subject to the terms hereof), and, at all times prior to such
assignment, the Junior Agent shall be acting as a sub-agent of the Senior Agent
for the sole purpose of perfecting the Lien on such asset.

          (b) Each Credit Party hereby agrees not to grant, or to permit any of
its Subsidiaries to grant any Lien on any Credit Agreement Collateral securing
the Senior Claims or the Junior Claims, as the case may be, unless such Credit
Party or, as the case may be, such Subsidiary, has granted, through
documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Senior

                                       5

<PAGE>

Agent, a Senior Lien on such asset in favor of the Senior Agent for the benefit
of the Senior Secured Parties as security for the Senior Claims.

          2.4 Separate Liens. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees
that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Collateral Documents constitute
separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things,
their differing rights in the Credit Agreement Collateral, the Junior Claims are
fundamentally different from the Senior Claims in respect of such Credit
Agreement Collateral, and the Junior Claims and Senior Claims must be separately
classified in any Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the
parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that
the Junior Claims and the Senior Claims in respect of such Credit Agreement
Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of
senior and junior secured claims), then the Junior Secured Parties hereby
acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were
separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Credit Parties
(with the effect that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Credit
Agreement Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by
the Junior Secured Parties), the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to
receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal,
pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of
post-petition interest before any distribution is made in respect of the claims
held by the Junior Secured Parties with respect to the Credit Agreement
Collateral, with the Junior Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to
turn over to the Senior Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable
by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even
if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Junior
Secured Parties).

          SECTION 3. EXERCISE OF REMEDIES

          3.1 Remedies.

          (a) Prior to the payment in full of the Senior Claims, whether or not
any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any
Credit Party:

               (i) no Junior Secured Party shall (or shall direct the Junior
          Agent to) (A) exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies with
          respect to the Credit Agreement Collateral, (B) institute any action
          or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies, including any
          action of foreclosure, contest, protest with respect to the Credit
          Agreement Collateral, (C) object to any foreclosure proceeding or
          action brought by the Senior Agent or any Senior Secured Party or any
          other exercise of any rights and remedies relating to the Credit
          Agreement Collateral under the Senior Documents or otherwise, or (D)
          object to the forbearance by the Senior Secured Parties from bringing
          or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise
          of any rights or remedies relating to the Credit Agreement Collateral;
          and

               (ii) the Senior Agent, on behalf of the Senior Secured Parties,
          shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies
          and make determinations regarding release, disposition (including
          under Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code) or restrictions with
          respect to the Credit Agreement Collateral without any consultation
          with, or the consent of, any Junior Secured Party.

          (b) In exercising rights and remedies with respect to any Credit
Agreement Collateral, the Senior Agent, on behalf of the Senior Secured Parties,
in respect of such Credit

                                       6

<PAGE>

Agreement Collateral may enforce the provisions of the Senior Documents and
exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may
determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and
enforcement shall include, without limitation, the rights of an agent appointed
by them to sell or otherwise dispose of such Credit Agreement Collateral upon
foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and
to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the UCC of any
applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under any Bankruptcy Law.

          (c) The Junior Agent, on behalf of each Junior Secured Party, agrees
that, prior to the payment in full of the Senior Claims, it will not take or
receive any such Credit Agreement Collateral or any proceeds of the Credit
Agreement Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy
(including setoff) with respect to such Credit Agreement Collateral. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the payment in full of the
Senior Claims, the sole right of the Junior Agent and the Junior Secured Parties
with respect to such Credit Agreement Collateral shall be the right to receive a
share of the proceeds thereof pursuant to Section 4.1 (Proceeds of Collateral).

          (d) The Junior Agent, on behalf of each Junior Secured Party (i)
agrees that neither it nor any Junior Secured Party will take any action that
would hinder any exercise of remedies undertaken by any Senior Secured Party
under the Collateral Documents, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or
other disposition of such Credit Agreement Collateral, whether by foreclosure or
otherwise, and (ii) hereby waives any and all rights it or any Junior Secured
Party may have as a junior creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in
which any Senior Secured Party may seek to enforce or collect the Senior Claims
or the Liens granted in any of such Collateral.

          3.2 Exercise of Remedies as Unsecured Creditors. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Junior Secured Party may
exercise its rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor, and with respect to
Collateral which the Credit Agreement Administrative Agent has a junior priority
Lien in accordance with the Pledge and Security Agreement and the Mortgages, as
secured creditor, against the Credit Parties in accordance with the terms of the
Junior Documents and applicable Requirement of Law. In the event any Junior
Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of any Credit
Agreement Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an
unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to any Lien on such
Credit Agreement Collateral securing any Senior Claim on the same basis and to
the same extent as the other Liens on such Credit Agreement Collateral securing
the Junior Claims are subordinated to those securing the Senior Claims under
this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement modifies any rights or remedies which
any Senior Secured Party may have with respect to such Credit Agreement
Collateral.

          SECTION 4. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS; SUBROGATION

          4.1 Proceeds of Collateral. Proceeds of any Credit Agreement
Collateral received by any party hereto in connection with or resulting from any
Enforcement Action, and whether or not pursuant to an Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding, shall be applied by the Senior Agent to the Senior Claims in such
order as specified in the Senior Documents until payment in full of all Senior
Claims. After payment in full of all Senior Claims, the Senior Agent shall
deliver to the Junior Agent any proceeds of the Credit Agreement Collateral held
by it in the same for as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court
of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

                                       7

<PAGE>

          4.2 Payments Over. Any Credit Agreement Collateral or proceeds thereof
received by the Junior Agent in connection with the exercise of any right or
remedy (including setoff) relating to the Credit Agreement Collateral in
contravention of this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and
forthwith paid over to the Senior Agent for the benefit of the Senior Secured
Parties in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a
court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

          4.3 Subrogation. The Junior Agent, on behalf of each Junior Secured
Party, hereby waives any rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any
payment hereunder until the Senior Claims shall have been paid in full. Upon
payment in full of such Senior Claims, the Junior Secured Parties shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Senior Secured Parties to receive payments or
distributions applicable to such Senior Claims.

          SECTION 5. INSOLVENCY OR LIQUIDATION PROCEEDINGS

          5.1 Waivers. In the event an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding
shall be commenced by or against any Credit Party, each of the Junior Secured
Parties hereby agrees that such Person shall not, until the payment in full of
the Senior Claims (irrespective of whether the Senior Claims are scheduled to be
paid in full as part of an applicable Insolvency Proceeding):

          (a) seek any relief from, or modification of, the automatic stay as
provided in Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of
Bankruptcy Law) or seek or accept any form of adequate protection under either
or both of Section 362 and Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code;

          (b) oppose or object to the use of any Credit Agreement Collateral
constituting cash collateral by any Credit Party;

          (c) oppose or object to any financing with respect to any Credit Party
provided under any Bankruptcy Law (regardless of whether any Indebtedness
thereunder is senior to the Junior Claims or secured by Liens on the Credit
Agreement Collateral that are senior in priority to the Junior Liens on the
Credit Agreement Collateral) including any refinancing of the entire amount of
the Credit Agreement Claims, unless the Senior Agent or the Senior Secured
Parties shall have opposed or objected to such financing;

          (d) object to any item set forth in Section 2.2(a) (Prohibition on
Contesting Liens) hereof (irrespective of whether the Senior Claims are
scheduled to be paid in full as part of an applicable Insolvency Proceeding),
including (i) the amount of the Senior Claims allowed or permitted to be
asserted under any Bankruptcy Law or (ii) the extent to which the Senior Claims
are deemed secured claims, including under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code;

          (e) oppose or object to (i) any protection provided to the Senior
Secured Parties, including any form of adequate protection under Section 362 or
Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and the payment of amounts equal to interest
and expenses allowed under Section 506(b) and (c) of the Bankruptcy Code to any
Senior Secured Parties; or (ii) any consent or objection by the Senior Agent to
any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on any Person (including any
Senior Secured Party) claiming a lack of such adequate protection;

          (f) object to the treatment of the Senior Claims under a chapter 11
plan of reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code or similar plan or
reorganization or arrangement under any other applicable Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding;

                                       8

<PAGE>

          (g) oppose or object to any proposed sale of the Credit Agreement
Collateral pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar
provision of any applicable Bankruptcy Law; or

          (h) object to or oppose any use of Credit Agreement Collateral
constituting cash collateral by any Loan Party.

          5.2 No Waiver by Senior Secured Parties. Nothing contained herein
shall prohibit or in any way limit any Senior Secured Party from objecting in
any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (or otherwise) to any action taken by
any Junior Secured Party, including the seeking by such Junior Secured Party of
adequate protection or the asserting by such Junior Secured Party of any of its
rights and remedies under the Junior Documents (or otherwise) with respect to
such Collateral.

          SECTION 6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

          Each party hereto represents and warrants as follows:

          (a) Such party is duly organized, validly existing and in good

Agreement (i) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing
with or any other action by any governmental authority and (ii) will not violate
any applicable Requirement of Law or regulation or the charter, by-laws or other
organizational documents of such party or any order of any governmental

          foregoing;

          (c) The Junior Agent, on behalf of each Junior Secured Party, also
agrees that no Senior Secured Party shall have any duty or liability to any
Junior Secured Party, and the Junior Agent, on behalf of each Junior Secured

available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party in respect of any Secured
Claim or of any Junior Secured Party in respect of this Agreement.

          7.6 Releases. If in connection with:

          (a) the exercise of the Senior Agent's remedies in respect of the

any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of such Credit
Agreement Collateral;

          (c) any agreement between the Senior Agent and the Company to release
the Senior Agent's Lien on any portion of the Credit Agreement Collateral or to
release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its guaranty of the
Senior Claims;

the Senior Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the Senior Secured Parties,
releases any of its Liens on any part of the Credit Agreement Collateral (or any
Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its guaranty of the Senior
Lender Claims), the Liens, if any, of the Junior Agent, for itself or for the
benefit of the Junior Secured Parties, on such Credit Agreement Collateral (and
the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its guaranty of the Junior
Claims, if any) shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously
released and the Junior Agent, for itself or on behalf of any such Junior
Secured Party, promptly shall execute and deliver to the Senior Agent or the
Company such termination statements, releases and other documents as the Senior
Agent or the Company may request and provide to effectively confirm such
release.

          7.7 Attorney-in-Fact.

          (a) The Junior Agent, on behalf of each Junior Secured Party hereby
irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Senior Agent and any officer or agent
of such Senior Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and
stead of the Junior Agent or such holder or in such Senior Agent's own name,
from time to time in such Senior Agent's discretion, for the purpose of carrying
out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to
execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or
desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including any financing
statements, endorsements or other instruments or transfer or release.
Notwithstanding the grant of the foregoing power of attorney, nothing in this
Section 7.7 is intended to in any way relieve any Credit Party of its
obligations to comply with Requirements of Law or applicable obligations with
respect to the release of Credit Agreement Collateral under any Collateral
Document.

          (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Junior Agent
hereby gives the Senior Agent and any officer and agent thereof the power and
right, on behalf of each Junior Secured Party, without notice to or assent by
any Junior Secured Party, to do, prior to the payment in full of the Senior
Claims, any of the following with respect to the Credit Agreement Collateral, to
the extent such Junior Secured Party would be permitted to do so under the
Collateral Documents:

                                       12

<PAGE>

               (i) file of any financing or continuation statement under the UCC
          or other similar applicable Requirement of Law;

               (ii) take possession of, and indorse and collect, either in the

          required to be turned over to the Senior Agent pursuant to Section 4.2
          (Payments Over); and

               (iii) execute, in connection with any release of any Credit
          Agreement Collateral described in Section 7.6 (Releases) for which
          such Junior Secured Party is obligated under such Section 7.6
          (Releases) to release or subordinate its Junior Liens, any
          termination, partial release, endorsement, assignment, other
          instrument of conveyance or transfer, any subordination agreement or
          any other document with respect to such Credit Agreement Collateral
          necessary or appropriate to effect such release or subordination.

          (c) Each Junior Secured Party hereby ratifies all that said attorneys
shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers,
authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an
interest and are irrevocable until such time as the Secured Claims are
indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full, and thereafter such powers,
authorizations and agencies shall terminate.

          7.8 Consent of Credit Parties. Each Credit Party hereby consents to
the provisions of this Agreement and the intercreditor arrangements provided for
herein and agrees that the obligations of the Credit Parties under any Senior
Document, Junior Document or other Collateral Document shall not in any way be
diminished or otherwise affected by such provisions or arrangements. All
references to any Credit Party shall include reference to such Credit Party as a
debtor and debtor in possession and any receiver or trustee for such Loan Party

that, if, pursuant to Section 7.11 (Additional Collateral and Guarantees) of the
Credit Agreement, the Company shall be required to cause any Subsidiary that is
not a Credit Party to become a Credit Party, or if for any reason the Company
desires any such Subsidiary to become a Credit Party, such Subsidiary shall
execute and deliver to the Agents an Intercreditor Supplement in substantially
the form of Exhibit B (Intercreditor Supplement) attached hereto and shall
thereafter for all purposes be a party hereto and have the same rights, benefits
and obligations as a Credit Party hereto on the Closing Date.

          SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS

Collateral Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

          8.2 Continuing Nature.

          (a) This Agreement is a continuing agreement of lien subordination and
the Senior Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to any
Junior Secured Party, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and
lend monies constituting Senior Claims on the faith hereof, and this Agreement
shall continue to be effective until the payment in full of all Secured Claims

Collateral Documents, (c) the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding or any
other Enforcement Action, (d) any act or failure to act on the part of any
Credit Party or Senior Secured Party, (e) any noncompliance by any Person with
the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement or any Collateral

have or be otherwise charged with or (f) any other circumstances that otherwise
might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party in
respect of any Senior Claims or of any Junior Secured Party in respect of this
Agreement or any Junior Document. The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and
shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding.

          (b) All consents, waivers and other provisions set forth herein for
the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties are irrevocable (except in a writing
signed by the Senior Secured Parties as provided in Section 8.3 (Amendments;
Waivers)), and each Junior Secured Party and Loan Party hereby waives any right
under applicable Requirements of Law to revoke any such consent, waiver or other
provision of this Agreement.

adversely affecting the Secured Parties) pursuant to Section 11.1 (Amendments,
Waivers, Etc.) of the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, the consent of any Credit Party shall not be required for amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions of this Agreement, except that the

right of any Credit Party hereunder or that would impose any additional
obligations on any Credit Party (including such changes under this Section 8.3),
(ii) change the rights of the Credit Parties to make payments in respect of any
Secured Claims (except with respect to proceeds of Credit Agreement Collateral

such waiver or the obligations of the other parties in any other respect or at
any other time. The Agents shall notify the Company of any amendment,
modification or waiver effected hereunder; provided, however, that the failure
of any Agent to deliver such notice shall not render any such amendment,
modification or waiver ineffective.

          (b) Without the prior written consent of the Senior Agent, no Junior
Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or refinanced, and
no new Junior Document may be entered into, in each case if the effect of such
amendment, supplement, modification, refinancing or new Junior Document is to do
any of the following:

               (i) change or amend any other term if such change or amendment
          would have an adverse effect on the rights and obligations of any
          Senior Secured Party or the Senior Agent with respect to the Credit
          Agreement Collateral; or

               (ii) contravene any provision of this Agreement.

to secure any First Lien Obligations unless it has granted, or concurrently
therewith grants, a Lien on such asset to secure the Second Lien Obligations, in
each case, with each such Lien to be subject to the provisions of this
Agreement. To the extent that the provisions of the immediately preceding
sentence are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other right

acknowledge and agree that it is their intention that the First Lien Collateral
and the Second Lien Collateral be identical. In furtherance of the foregoing,

          (a) to cooperate in good faith in order to determine, upon any request
     by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the
     specific assets included in the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien
     Collateral, the steps taken to perfect the First Priority Liens and the
     Second Priority Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties
     obligated under the First Lien Documents and the Second Lien Documents;

          (b) that the documents, agreements and instruments creating or
     evidencing the First Lien Collateral and the First Priority Liens shall be
     substantially identical in form and substance as the documents, agreements
     and instruments creating or evidencing the Second Lien Collateral and the
     Second Priority Liens, other than with respect to the first priority and
     second priority nature of the Liens created or evidenced thereunder; and

          (c) the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the
     other Second Lien Secured Parties, agrees that any amounts received by or
     distributed to any of the Second Lien Secured Parties pursuant to or as a
     result of Second Priority Liens on assets that are not subject to the First
     Priority Liens shall be subject to Section 4.01.

          SECTION 3.01. EXERCISE OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

          (a) Whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been
commenced, the First Lien Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Secured
Parties on the one hand and the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien
Secured Parties on the other hand shall each have their respective rights to
enforce rights and exercise remedies (including any right of setoff) with
respect to the Collateral (including making determinations regarding the
release, Disposition or restrictions with respect to the Collateral), or to
commence or seek to commence any action or proceeding with respect to such
rights or remedies (including any foreclosure action or proceeding or any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), in each case, without any consultation
with or the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien
Secured Party or the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured
Party, respectively; provided that no such action is, or could reasonably be
expected to be, inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

          (b) In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral,
each Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may enforce the provisions
of their respective Lien Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such
order and in such manner as they may determine in their sole discretion. Such
exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them
to Dispose of Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with
any such Disposition and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured
creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code, the Bankruptcy Code or any other
Bankruptcy Law, provided that no such action is, or could reasonably be expected
to be, inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement

                                       8

other Second Lien Secured Parties, hereby acknowledges and agrees that no
covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Second Lien Document (other
than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and
remedies of the First Lien Collateral Agent or the other First Lien Secured
Parties with respect to the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the
First Lien Documents.

          SECTION 3.02. INSURANCE AND CONDEMNATION AWARDS. To the extent the
Second Lien Collateral Agent receives insurance proceeds or a condemnation award

provided for in Section 9 of the Collateral Trust Agreement as if WCI were
administering such funds.

(ii) (A) the effective date of a confirmed plan of reorganization in such
proceeding, or (B) the dismissal of such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding;

or more Foreclosures under the Indenture, then

          (a) the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall hold the first $75,000,000,
whether in cash or in-kind, of the proceeds of such Foreclosures, in the
aggregate, in trust (the "OTHER RESERVED PROCEEDS") for the First Lien
Collateral Agent, until the earliest to occur of:

     (1)  (i) one (1) year after the latest such Foreclosure; or

          (ii) if an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of WCI is commenced
     within such one-year period, (A) the effective date of a confirmed plan of
     reorganization in such proceeding or (B) the dismissal of such Insolvency
     or Liquidation Proceeding, or

                                       9

<PAGE>

          (iii) if proceedings with a view to termination of the WCI/USW Defined

Other Reserved Proceeds to the First Lien Collateral Agent.

effective when executed and delivered by the parties hereto. All covenants,
agreements, representations and warranties made by any party in this Agreement

provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the

rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any

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
City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement, 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

in such Federal court. Each party 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 any party hereto may
otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement in
the courts of any jurisdiction.

          (c) Each party 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

Federal court. Each party 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.

          (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of
process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.01. Nothing in this
