Liquidation Proceeding permitting it to do any of the foregoing, and

                           (ii)     the Agent and the Senior Lenders shall have
the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including, without
limitation, setoff and the right to credit bid their debt) refrain from
enforcing or exercising remedies, and make determinations regarding release,
disposition, or restrictions with respect to the Collateral without any
consultation with or the consent of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any
Noteholder, all according to the discretion and exercise of the business
judgment of the Agent and Senior Lenders, including, without limitation, the
exclusive right to take the actions enumerated in clauses (1) through (9) of
Section 3.1(a)(i). In connection therewith, each of the Noteholders, and the
Trustee, and the Collateral Agent waives any and all rights to affect the method
or challenge the appropriateness of any action by the Agent or any Senior Lender
and hereby consents to the Agent or any Senior Lender exercising or not
exercising such rights and remedies as if no Noteholder existed, except only
that the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Noteholders reserve all rights
granted by law: to request or receive notice of any sale of Collateral in
foreclosure of any Senior Lender Lien. In exercising rights and remedies with
respect to the Collateral, the Agent and the Senior Lenders may enforce the
provisions of the Senior Lender 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 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 Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction

jurisdiction.

and the Collateral Agent, agree that none of them will take or receive any
Collateral or any proceeds of Collateral in connection with the exercise of any
right or remedy (including setoff) with respect to any Collateral, unless and
until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Lender
Claims has occurred, the sole right of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the
Noteholders with respect to the Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Collateral

                                        7
<PAGE>

pursuant to the Noteholder Documents for the period and to the extent granted
therein and to receive a share of the proceeds thereof, if any, after the
Discharge of the Senior Lender Claims has occurred.

                  (c)      The Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Noteholders,
and the Collateral Agent, agree that none of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee
or the Noteholders will take any action that would hinder any exercise of
remedies undertaken by the Agent under the Senior Loan Documents, including any
sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral, whether
by foreclosure or otherwise, and the Collateral Agent, for itself and the
Noteholders, and the Trustee, hereby waive any and all rights it or the
Noteholders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the
manner in which the Agent or the Senior Lenders seek to enforce or collect the
Senior Lender Claims or the Liens granted in any of the Senior Lender
Collateral.

                  3.2      Cooperation. The Trustee, on behalf of itself and the
Noteholders, and the Collateral Agent, agree that, unless and until the
Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, it will not commence, or join
with any Person (other than the Senior Lenders and the Agent upon the request
thereof) in commencing any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or
foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it under any
of the Noteholder Documents (other than any Noteholder Property Lien) or
otherwise.

                  3.3      Notice by Agent. The Agent agrees to notify promptly
the Collateral Agent and the Trustee of a Discharge of Senior Lender Claims.

                  SECTION 4.        PAYMENTS.

                  4.1      Application of Proceeds. As long as the Discharge of
Senior Lender Claims has not occurred, the cash proceeds of Collateral received
in connection with the sale of, or collection on, such Collateral upon the
exercise of remedies, shall be applied by the Agent to the Senior Lender Claims
in such order as specified in the Senior Credit Agreement until Discharge of
Senior Lender Claims has occurred. Upon Discharge of the Senior Lender Claims,
the Agent shall deliver to the Collateral Agent any proceeds of Collateral held
by it in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a
court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct or in the case of any such
proceeds in any such deposit account or securities account take such steps as
may be required under the Senior Lender Documents to cause such proceeds to be
transferred to the Collateral Agent, except as a court of competent jurisdiction
may otherwise direct.

                  4.2      Payments Over by Collateral Agent, the Trustee and
Noteholders. So long as the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has not occurred,
any Collateral or proceeds thereof received by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee
or any Noteholder shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over
to the Agent for the benefit of the Senior Lenders in the same form as received,
with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may
otherwise direct. The Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements
as agent for the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any such Noteholder. This
authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, except for payments constituting proceeds of Collateral that are
(1) made in breach of any provision of any Senior Lender Document to purchase,
redeem, prepay or pay the principal of any Notes or to fund a legal or covenant
defeasance of the Notes under Article 8 of the Indenture, unless in connection
with any such payment the Collateral Agent and the Trustee received an Opinion
of Counsel (as defined in the Indenture), or a certificate of the Agent, that
application of such payment to principal of the Notes was permitted under the
Credit Agreement or (2) received by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any
Noteholder (A) as a result of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement,
(B) any time after commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or
(C) at any time after the Trustee and the Collateral Agent have received written
notice from the Agent stating that (i) the Indebtedness constituting

                                        8
<PAGE>

Senior Lender Claims has become immediately due and payable (whether at
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and all Letters of Credit are required
to be cash collateralized) or (ii) the Agent has become entitled to enforce any
or all Senior Lender Liens by reason of default by any Obligor under the Senior
Lender Documents, no payment of money made by any Obligor to the Collateral
Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder will be subject to the foregoing provisions
of this Section 4.2.

                  SECTION 5.        OTHER AGREEMENTS.

                  5.1      Releases.

                  (a)      If in connection with:

                           (i)      the exercise of the Agent's remedies in
respect of the Collateral including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other
disposition of such Collateral made by the Agent or any Senior Lender; or

                           (ii)     any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other
disposition of Collateral permitted under the terms of the Senior Credit
Agreement (whether or not an event of default under, and as defined therein, has
occurred and is continuing) and not prohibited under Section 4.16 of the
Indenture (Asset Sales);

the Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the Senior Lenders, releases any of
its Liens on any part of the Collateral and, in the case of Section 5.1(a)(ii),
either (x) the commitment under the Senior Credit Agreement is reduced by the
net cash proceeds of such sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition
(or to $0, if the net cash proceeds exceeds the then remaining commitment) and
such net cash proceeds shall have been applied to repay or collateralize any
Senior Lender Claims or letters of credit issued under the Senior Credit
Agreement to the extent of any principal balance (including undrawn letters of
credit) outstanding and in excess of such reduced commitment or (y) such net
cash proceeds shall have been reinvested in properties or assets that will
replace the Collateral sold or that will be used in the business of the
Obligors, the Liens, if any, of the Collateral Agent on such Collateral shall be
automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released and the Collateral
Agent shall promptly shall execute and deliver to the Agent or the applicable
Obligor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the Agent
or the applicable Obligor may request to effectively confirm such release.

                  (b)      Each of the Collateral Agent and Trustee hereby
irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Agent and any officer or agent of the
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
Collateral Agent or Trustee, as the, case may be, or such holder or in the
Agent's own name, from time to time in the Agent's discretion, for the purpose
of carrying out the terms of this Section 5.1, 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 Section 5.1,
including, without limitation, any termination statements, endorsements or other
instruments or transfer or release.

                  5.2      Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of Senior
Lender Claims has occurred, the Agent and the Senior Lenders shall have the sole
and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Obligors under the Senior
Lender Documents, to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the
Collateral in the event of any loss thereof and to approve any award granted in
any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Collateral. Unless and
until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, all proceeds of any
such policy and any such award in respect of the Collateral shall be paid to the
Agent for the benefit of the Senior Lenders to the extent required under the
Senior Credit Agreement and thereafter to the Collateral Agent to the extent
required under the applicable Noteholder Documents

                                        9
<PAGE>

and then to the owner of the subject property or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may otherwise direct; provided, however, that from and after the
Commitment Termination Date, all such proceeds shall be paid to the Agent for
the benefit of the Senior Lenders until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims
has occurred and thereafter to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Noteholders to the extent required under the applicable Noteholder Documents and
then to the owner of the subject property or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may otherwise direct. If the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any
Noteholder shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy
or any such award in respect of the loss of any Collateral in contravention of
this Agreement, it shall pay such proceeds over to the Agent in accordance with
the terms of Section 4.2.

                  5.3      Amendments to Noteholder Collateral Documents.

                  (a)      Without the prior written consent of the Agent and
the Required Lenders, no Noteholder Collateral Document may be amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment,
supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Noteholder Collateral
Document, would be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement or could
reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the Agent or Senior Lenders.
The Trustee and the Collateral Agent agree that each Noteholder Collateral
Document creating a Noteholder Lien shall include the following language:

                  "Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and
                  security interest granted to the Collateral Agent/Trustee
                  pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or
                  remedy by the Collateral Agent/ Trustee hereunder, in each
                  case in respect of any collateral constituting Noteholder
                  Collateral (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement
                  described below) are subject to the provisions of the
                  Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of November 19, 2003 (as
                  amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the
                  "Intercreditor Agreement") among General Electric Capital
                  Corporation as Agent, and BNY Midwest Trust Company, as
                  Collateral Agent, BNY Midwest Trust Company, as Trustee, and
                  the Obligors (as defined therein), including the grantor of
                  security interest in this Agreement, named therein. In the
                  event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor
                  Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor
                  Agreement shall govern."

                  (b)      In the event the Agent or the Senior Lenders enter
into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the Senior Lender
Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving
or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Senior Lender
Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the Agent, the
Senior Lenders, the Obligors thereunder, then such amendment, waiver or consent
shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the Comparable
Noteholder Collateral Document without the consent of the Collateral Agent or
the Trustee and without any action by the Collateral Agent or Trustee, or any
Obligor; provided, however, that (A) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall
have the effect of removing assets subject to the Lien of the Noteholder
Collateral Documents, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is
permitted by Section 5.1, (B) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall
have been given to the Collateral Agent and Trustee, and (C) no such amendment,
waiver or consent that could reasonably be expected to be adverse to the
Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder shall apply to such Comparable
Noteholder Collateral Document.

                  5.4      Rights As Unsecured Creditors.

                                       10
<PAGE>

                  (a)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee may exercise rights and remedies
as an unsecured creditor against the Obligors in accordance with the terms of
the Noteholder Documents and applicable law. In the event the Collateral Agent,
the Trustee or any Noteholder becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of
Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured
creditor, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Senior Lender Liens on
the same basis as the other Noteholder Liens are so subordinated to such Senior
Lender Liens under this Agreement and the provisions of this Agreement shall
apply to such judgment lien mutatis mutandi. Nothing in this Agreement modifies
any rights or remedies the Agent or the Senior Lenders may have with respect to
the Senior Lender Collateral.

                  (b)      By executing this Agreement, the Collateral Agent and
the Trustee acknowledge, and by accepting a Note, each Noteholder acknowledges,
that the Senior Credit Agreement prohibits Telex from making a "Net Proceeds
Offer" or a "Change of Control Offer" (each as defined in the Indenture), making
any payment, or redeeming or purchasing any Notes, in connection therewith.

                  (c)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, the Agent and the Senior Lenders may exercise rights and remedies as
an unsecured creditor against the Obligors in accordance with the terms of the
Senior Lender Documents and applicable law.

                  5.5      Bailee for Perfection.

                  (a)      The Agent agrees to hold the Pledged Collateral that
is part of the Collateral in its possession as bailee for the Collateral Agent
under Section 9-313(c)(2) of the Uniform Commercial Code solely for the purpose
of perfecting the security interest granted in such Pledged Collateral pursuant
to the Noteholder Security Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of
this Section 5.5, it being understood that the Agent will have no duty to the
Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder in connection with such
possession.

                  (b)      Until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has
occurred, the Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral in
accordance with the terms of the Senior Lender Documents as if the Lien of the
Collateral Agent under the Noteholder Security Agreement did not exist. The
rights of the Collateral Agent, the Noteholders and Trustee shall at all times
be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

                  (c)      The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the
Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder to assure that the Pledged
Collateral is genuine or owned by any Obligor or to preserve rights or benefits
of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5. The duties or
responsibilities of the Senior Agent under this Section 5.5 shall be limited
solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee for the Collateral Agent for
purposes of perfecting the Lien held by the Collateral Agent.

                  (d)      The Agent shall not have by reason of the Noteholder
Security Agreement or this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary
relationship in respect of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder.

                  (e)      Upon the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, the Agent
shall deliver to the Collateral Agent the Pledged Collateral together with any
necessary endorsements, as otherwise required by the UCC or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

                                       11

                  SECTION 6.        INSOLVENCY OR LIQUIDATION PROCEEDINGS.

                  6.1      Financing Issues. If any Obligor shall be subject to
any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the Agent shall desire to permit
the use of cash collateral or to permit such Obligor to obtain financing under
section 363 or section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code ("DIP Financing"), then the
Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, and the Collateral Agent each
agrees that it will raise no objection to such DIP Financing, any conditions
thereto, or any other relief afforded to the Agent or Senior Lender in
connection therewith or to any priming of any Lien securing the DIP Financing to
the Noteholder Lien so long as (i) the principal amount of such DIP Financing,
together with the outstanding amount of principal under the Senior Credit
Agreement immediately prior to the initial funding under the DIP Financing (and
after giving effect to the application of proceeds of such initial funding) does
not exceed $17,000,000 and (ii) in the event that any Noteholder Lien is primed
by the DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto), the Senior Lender
Lien is also primed. In the event that the Agent or Senior Lenders subordinate
the Senior Lender Lien in connection with any such DIP Financing (and all
Obligations relating thereto), the Trustee on behalf of itself and the
Noteholders and the Collateral Agent will subordinate the Noteholder Lien to
such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto).

                  6.2      Relief from the Automatic Stay. While any amounts are
outstanding under the Senior Lender Documents or any commitment under any DIP
Financing provided by any Senior Lender is in effect, the Trustee on behalf of
itself and the Noteholders, and the Collateral Agent, agree that none of them
shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Collateral, without the prior written
consent of the Agent and the Requisite Lenders.

                  6.3      Adequate Protection. In any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding the Trustee, on behalf of itself and each Noteholder, and the
Collateral Agent, agree that none of them shall contest (or support any other
Person contesting) (a) any request by the Agent or the Senior Lenders for any
replacement lien, payment or other adequate protection or (b) any objection by
the Agent or the Senior Lenders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding
based on the Agent or the Senior Lenders claiming a lack of adequate protection.
In any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, at no time shall the Trustee, the
Collateral Agent or any Noteholder file, make or prosecute any motion for
adequate protection (or any comparable request for relief) or otherwise seek
adequate protection in respect of any Noteholder Lien.

                  6.4      Voting Rights. In any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding, neither the Trustee, the Collateral Agent nor any Noteholder shall
vote any Noteholder Claim for any plan of reorganization of any Obligor if such
plan does not provide for the payment in full in cash of all Senior Lender
Claims on the effective date of such plan of reorganization or otherwise
provides treatment of the Senior Lender Claims in a manner approved by the Agent
and Required Lenders.

                  6.5      Preference Issues. If any Senior Lender is required
in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or
otherwise pay to the estate of any Obligor any amount (a "Recovery"), then the
Senior Lender Claims shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and the
Senior Lenders shall be entitled to a Discharge of Senior Lender Claims with
respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been
terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full
force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release,
discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from
such date of reinstatement.

                  6.6      Reorganization Securities. If, in any Liquidation or
Insolvency Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by
Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a
plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on
account of Senior Lender Claims and on account of Noteholder Claims, then, to
the extent the debt obligations

                                       12
<PAGE>

distributed on account of the Senior Lender Claims and on account of the
Noteholder Claims are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of
this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant
to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt
obligations.

                  6.7      Expense Claims. Neither the Trustee, the Collateral
Agent nor any Noteholder will assert or enforce, at any time prior to the
Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, any claim under Section 506(c) of the
Bankruptcy Code senior to or on a parity with the Senior Lender Liens for costs
or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral.

                  6.8      Asset Sales. Neither the Trustee, the Collateral
Agent nor any Noteholder shall object to or otherwise contest any sale of assets
by any Obligor, under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or the entry of any
order relating to any such sale, in each case, that is supported or consented to
by the Agent or the Required Lenders.

                  6.9      Post-Petition Claims. Neither the Trustee, the
Collateral Agent nor any Noteholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim
by the Agent or any Senior Lender for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding of Senior Lender Claims consisting of post-petition interest, fees or
expenses to the extent of the value of the Senior Lender Lien, without regard to
the existence of the Noteholder Lien.

                  6.10     Noteholder DIP Financing. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall prevent any Noteholder from providing DIP Financing in any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, provided, however, that in the event that
any such DIP Financing is secured by a priming Lien under Section 364 of the
Bankruptcy Code, such priming Lien will (if it primes Senior Lender Liens) also
prime the Noteholder Priority Lien and Noteholder Lien.

                  SECTION 7.        RELIANCE; WAIVERS; ETC.

                  7.1      Reliance. The consent by the Senior Lenders to the
execution and delivery of the Noteholder Documents and the grant to the
Collateral Agent on behalf of the Noteholders of a Lien on the Collateral and
all loans and other extensions of credit made or deemed made on and after the
date hereof by the Senior Lenders to Obligors (that are borrowers) shall be
deemed to have been given and made in reliance upon this Agreement.

                  7.2      No Warranties or Liability. The Trustee, on behalf of
itself and the Noteholders, and the Collateral Agent, acknowledge and agree that
each of the Agent and the Senior Lenders have made no express or implied
representation or warranty, including, without limitation, with respect to the
execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability of
any of the Senior Lender Documents. The Senior Lenders will be entitled to
manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit to the
Obligors (that are borrowers) in accordance with law and as they may otherwise,
in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the Senior Lenders may manage
their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests
that the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any of the Noteholders have in the
Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Neither
the Agent nor any Senior Lender shall have any duty to the Trustee or any of the
Noteholders to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or results
in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any
agreements with any Obligor (including, without limitation, the Noteholder
Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be
charged with.

                  7.3      No Waiver of Lien Priorities.

                                       13
<PAGE>

                  (a)      No right of the Senior Lenders, the Agent or any of
them to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall at any time in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Obligor
or by any act or failure to act by any Senior Lender or the Agent, or by any
noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this
Agreement, any of the Senior Lender Documents or any of the Noteholder
Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Agent or the Senior
Lenders, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.

                  (b)      To the fullest extent permitted by law, the
Collateral Agent, the Noteholders and the Trustee agree not to assert or enforce
at any time prior to the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims:

                                    (1)      any right of subrogation to the
rights or interests of holders of Senior Lender Liens or Senior Lender Claims
(or any claim or defense based upon impairment of any such right of
subrogation); provided, however, that promptly following the Discharge of Senior
Lender Claims, the Agent and Senior Lenders shall execute and deliver to the
Trustee and the Collateral Agent appropriate documents (without recourse and
without representation or warranty) necessary to evidence any transfer by
subrogation to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent of an interest in the Senior
Lender Claims resulting from, among other things, any turnover by the Trustee,
the Collateral Agent and/or the Noteholders of proceeds of Collateral to the
Agent or Senior Lenders so long as the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by
the Agent and Senior Lenders in connection with the preparation and delivery of
such appropriate documents are paid by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and/or
the Noteholders;

                                    (2)      any right of marshalling accorded
to a junior lienholder, as against a priority lienholder, under equitable
principles; and

                                    (3)      any statutory right of appraisal or
valuation accorded to a junior lienholder in a proceeding to foreclose a senior
lien,

that otherwise may be enforceable in respect of any Noteholder Lien or as
against any holder of Senior Lender Liens.

                  (c)      Without in any way limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each holder of Senior Lender Claims or Senior Lender Liens may at any
time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or
any holder of Noteholder Claims or Noteholder Liens without incurring any
responsibility or liability to any holder of Noteholder Claims or Noteholder
Liens and without in any manner prejudicing, affecting or impairing the ranking
agreements and other obligations set forth in this Agreement:

                                    (1)      make loans and advances to any
Obligor or issue, guaranty or obtain letters of credit for account of any
Obligor or otherwise extend credit to any Obligor, in any amount (subject to the
provisions of this Agreement relating to the maximum amount of principal of
Indebtedness constituting Senior Lender Claims) and on any terms, whether
pursuant to a commitment or as a discretionary advance and whether or not any
default or event of default or failure of condition is then continuing;

                                    (2)      change the manner, place or terms
of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, compromise,
accelerate, extend or refinance, any Senior Lender Claims or any agreement,
guaranty, Lien or obligation of any Obligor or any other person or entity in any
manner related thereto, or otherwise amend, supplement or change in any manner
any Senior Lender Claims or Senior Lender Liens or any such agreement, guaranty,
lien or obligation;

                                       14
<PAGE>

                                    (3)      increase or reduce the amount of
any Senior Lender Claims (subject to the provisions of this Agreement relating
to the maximum amount of principal of Indebtedness constituting Senior Lender
Claims) or the interest, premium, fees or other amounts payable in respect
thereof;

                                    (4)      release or discharge any Senior
Lender Claims or any guaranty thereof or any agreement or obligation of any
Obligor or any other person or entity with respect thereto;

                                    (5)      take or fail to take any Senior
Lender Lien or any other collateral security for any Senior Lender Claims or
take or fail to take any action which may be necessary or appropriate to ensure
that any Senior Lender Lien or any other Lien upon any property is duly
enforceable or perfected or entitled to priority as against any other Lien or to
ensure that any proceeds of any property subject to any Lien are applied to the
payment of any Senior Lender Claim or any other obligation secured thereby;

                                    (6)      release, discharge or permit the
lapse of any or all Senior Lender Liens or any other Liens upon any property at
any time securing any Senior Lender Claims;

                                    (7)      exercise or enforce, in any manner,
order or sequence, or fail to exercise or enforce, any right or remedy against
any Obligor or any collateral security or any other person, entity or property
in respect of any Senior Lender Claims or any Senior Lender Lien or other Lien
securing any Senior Lender Claims or any right or power under this Agreement,
and apply any payment or proceeds of collateral in any order of application; or

                                    (8)      sell, exchange, release, foreclose
upon or otherwise deal with any property that may at any time be subject to any
Senior Lender Lien or any other Lien securing any Senior Lender Claims.

                  (d)      To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Trustee,
on behalf of itself and each of the Noteholders, and the Collateral Agent, waive
any claim it may have against the Agent or any Senior Lender with respect to or
arising out of any action or failure to act or any error (whether constituting
negligence or gross negligence but excluding errors due to willful misconduct or
breach of this Agreement) on the part of the Agent or any Senior Lender or their
respective directors, officers, employees or agents with respect to any exercise
of rights or remedies in respect of the Senior Lender Liens or the Senior Lender
Claims or under the Senior Lender Documents or any transaction relating to the
Collateral. Neither the Agent nor any Senior Lender nor any of their respective
directors, officers, employees or agents will be liable for failure to demand,
collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so,

Agent or to the Trustee except for the contractual obligations hereunder.

agreements and obligations of the Senior and the Senior Lenders and the
Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Noteholders, respectively, hereunder shall
remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of the Senior Credit Agreement or any
other Senior Lender Document or of the terms of the Indenture or any other
Noteholder Document;

Collateral, or any other collateral, or any amendment, waiver or other
modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or
any of the Senior Lender Claims or Noteholder Claims or any guarantee thereof;

                  (d)      the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding in respect of any Obligor; or

                  (e)      any other circumstances which otherwise might
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Obligor in respect of
the Senior Lender Claims, or of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, any
Noteholder, the Agent or any Senior Lender in respect of this Agreement.

modify or waive any provision of this Agreement without the consent of the
Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Agent, nor shall any consent or signed

waiver of any provision of this Agreement, except that no amendment,
modification or waiver affecting any obligation of any Obligor hereunder shall
be made without the consent of such Obligor. No consent of any Obligor, the
Trustee or Collateral Agent shall be required to add an Obligor to this

                              (REVERSE OF SECURITY)

                      11 1/2% SENIOR SECURED NOTE DUE 2008

                  1. Interest. Telex Communications, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of
this Note at the rate per annum shown above. Interest on the Note will accrue
from the most recent date on which interest has been paid or, if no interest has
been paid, from and including the date of issuance. The Company will pay
interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing
April 15, 2004. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
comprised of twelve 30-day months.

                  2. Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on the
Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are the registered Holders
at the close of business on the Record Date immediately preceding the Interest
Payment Date even if the Notes are cancelled on registration of transfer or
registration of exchange after such Record Date, and on or before such Interest
Payment Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect
principal payments. The Company shall pay principal and interest in money of the
United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public
and private debts ("U.S. Legal Tender"). However, the Company may pay principal
and interest by check payable in such U.S. Legal Tender. The Company may deliver
any such interest payment to the Paying Agent or to a Holder at the Holder's
registered address.

                  3. Paying Agent and Registrar. Initially, BNY Midwest Trust
Company (the "Trustee") will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may
change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice to the
Holders.

                  4. Indenture. The Notes and the Guarantees were issued under
an Indenture, dated as of November 19, 2003 (the "Indenture"), among the
Company, the Guarantors named therein and the Trustee. Capitalized terms herein
are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein. The terms
of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the
Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code Sections
77aaa-77bbbb) (the "TIA"), as in effect on the date of the Indenture until such
time as the Indenture is qualified under the TIA, and thereafter as in effect on
the date on which the Indenture is qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and
Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of
such terms. The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Company. Each
Holder, by accepting a Note, agrees to be bound by all of the terms and
provisions of the Indenture, as the same may be amended from time to time.

                  5. Redemption.

                  (a) Optional Redemption on or After October 15, 2006. The
Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, on
or after October 15, 2006, at the following Redemption Prices (expressed as
percentages of the principal amount thereof) if

                                        4

<PAGE>

redeemed during the period commencing on the date set forth below, plus, in each
case, accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, thereon to
the Redemption Date:

       Year                                             Percentage
       ----                                             ----------
       On or after October 15, 2006.................     105.750%
       October 15, 2007 and thereafter..............     100.000%

         (b) Optional Redemption upon Equity Offerings. At any time, or from
time to time, prior to October 15, 2005, the Company may, at its option, use an
amount not to exceed the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings to
redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally
issued under the Indenture at a Redemption Price equal to 111.50% of the
aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Additional Interest thereon, if any, to the Redemption Date. In order to effect
the foregoing redemption with the proceeds of any Equity Offering, at least 65%
of the original principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture shall
remain outstanding immediately after such redemption and the Company shall
effect such redemption not more than 120 days after the consummation of any such
Equity Offering.

                  6. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption will be mailed
by first-class mail at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the
Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder's
registered address. If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, at any
time, selection of Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in
compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange,
if any, on which the Notes are listed, or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a
pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee deems to be fair and
appropriate; provided that no partial redemption will reduce the principal
amount of a Note not redeemed to a denomination of less than $1,000; and
provided, further, that any such partial redemption made with the proceeds of an
Equity Offering will be made only on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata
basis as practicable (subject to the procedures of the DTC or any other
depository) unless such method is otherwise prohibited. Notes in denominations
of $1,000 or more may be redeemed in part.

                  Except as set forth in the Indenture, if monies for the
redemption of the Notes called for redemption shall have been deposited with the
Paying Agent for redemption on such redemption date sufficient to pay such
redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, the Notes called for
redemption will cease to bear interest from and after such redemption date, and
the only remaining right of the Holders of such Notes will be to receive payment
of the redemption price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, as of the
redemption date upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Notes redeemed.

                  7. Offers to Purchase. Sections 4.15 and 4.16 of the Indenture
provide that upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, after certain Asset
Sales and in connection with an Excess Cash Flow Offer and subject to further
limitations contained therein, the Company will make an offer to purchase
certain amounts of the Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the
Indenture.

                  8. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. The Notes are in
registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral
multiples thereof. A Holder shall register the transfer of or exchange of Notes
in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar

                                        5

<PAGE>

may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements
and transfer documents and to pay any taxes, fees or similar governmental
charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The
Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange of any Notes or portions
thereof selected for redemption.

                  9. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note
shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

                  10. Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or
interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent may
pay the money without interest thereon back to the Company. After that, all
liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such money shall
cease.

                  11. Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity. If the Company
at any time deposits with the Trustee U.S. Legal Tender or U.S. Government
Obligations sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes to
redemption or stated maturity and complies with the other provisions of the
Indenture relating thereto, the Company will be discharged from certain
provisions of the Indenture and the Notes (including certain covenants, but
excluding its obligation to pay the principal of and interest and Additional
Interest, if any, on the Notes.

                  12. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver. Subject to certain
exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees may be amended or
supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in
aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Notes then outstanding, and any
existing Default or Event of Default or noncompliance with any provision may be
waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount at maturity of the Notes then outstanding. Without consent of
any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Notes
or the Guarantees to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or
inconsistency, provide for uncertificated Notes or Guarantees in addition to or
in place of certificated Notes or Guarantees, comply with the TIA, or comply
with Article Five of the Indenture or make any other change that does not
adversely affect in any material respect the rights of any Holder of a Note.

                  13. Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture imposes certain
limitations on the ability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
among other things, incur additional Indebtedness or Liens, make payments in
respect of their Capital Stock or certain Indebtedness, enter into transactions
with Affiliates, create dividend or other payment restrictions affecting
Subsidiaries, merge or consolidate with any other Person, sell, assign,
transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its
assets or adopt a plan of liquidation. Such limitations are subject to a number
of important qualifications and exceptions. The Company must annually report to
the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.

                  14. Successors. When a successor assumes, in accordance with
the Indenture, all the obligations of its predecessor under the Notes, the
Guarantees and the Indenture, the predecessor will be released from those
obligations.

                  15. Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and
is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount at maturity of Notes then outstanding may declare all the Notes to be due
and payable in the manner, at the time and

                                        6

<PAGE>

with the effect provided in the Indenture. Holders of Notes may not enforce
the Indenture except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated
to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it has received indemnity
satisfactory to it. The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations
therein provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at
maturity of the Notes then outstanding to direct the Trustee in its exercise of
any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Notes notice of any
continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default in payment of principal
or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

                  16. Trustee Dealings with Company. Subject to the terms of the
TIA and the Indenture, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any
other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal
with the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates as if it were
not the Trustee.

                  17. No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future
stockholder, director, officer, employee or incorporator, as such, of the
Company or the Guarantors shall have any liability for any obligation of the
Company under the Notes, the Guarantees, the Collateral Agreements or the
Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligations or their creation. Each Holder of a Note by accepting a Note waives
and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issuance of the Notes.

                  18. Guarantees. Payment of principal and interest and
Additional Interest, if any (including interest on overdue principal and overdue
interest, if lawful), is unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by
each of the Guarantors.

                  19. Intercreditor Agreement. Each Holder, by its acceptance of
its Note, agrees to be bound by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and all
such replacement Intercreditor Agreements and each of the Guarantors and the
Holders hereby authorize the Trustee and the Collateral Agent to bind the
Holders to the extent provided in the Intercreditor Agreement.

                  20. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until the
Trustee or Authenticating Agent manually signs the certificate of authentication
on this Note.

                  21. Governing Law. The laws of the State of New York shall

the Notes are secured by liens on the Collateral pursuant to the terms of the
Collateral Agreements. The actions of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes
secured by such liens and the application of

                                        7

proceeds from the enforcement of any remedies with respect to such Collateral
