terms and conditions contained in the Security Agreement.

         ARTICLE 2 - THE COLLATERAL AGENCY

         2.1     APPOINTMENT.

         (a) The Noteholders each hereby irrevocably  appoint Collateral Service
Associates,  LLC to act as  Collateral  Agent  for each  Noteholder  under  this
Agreement  and the other  Security  Documents.  Debtor  shall  have the right to
approve the initial  Collateral  Agent. The Noteholders each hereby  irrevocably
authorize the Collateral  Agent to take such action on behalf of each Noteholder
under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Security Documents,  and to
exercise such rights and powers and to perform such duties,  as are specifically
delegated to or required of the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof,
together with such powers as are reasonably incident thereto. Collateral Service

<PAGE>

Associates,  LLC hereby agrees to act as the  Collateral  Agent on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other  Security  Documents.  Each
Noteholder  hereby  irrevocably  authorizes the Collateral  Agent to execute and
deliver, and accept delivery of, each of the Security Documents.

         (b) The Noteholders  each hereby agree that (i) the rights and remedies
given to the Collateral Agent under the Security Documents,  and (ii) the rights
and remedies given to each  Noteholder  under each Note or any of the other Loan
Documents,  as the case  may be,  shall  each be  exercised  exclusively  by the
Collateral  Agent,  on  behalf  of  itself  and  the  Noteholders,  and  that no
Noteholder shall exercise any such right or remedy individually, except upon the
request of the Collateral Agent as set forth in Section 2.5(e) hereof.

         (c) The  Debtor  shall pay the  Collateral  Agent an annual  collateral
agency fee in the amount of Twenty Thousand  Dollars  ($20,000) per year,  which
such fee  shall  be  payable  as  follows:  (i) for  each  year (so long as this
Agreement is in effect in accordance  with Section 6.9 hereof),  the  collateral
agency  fee  shall  be  payable  in  quarterly  installments  of  Five  Thousand
($5000.00)  in advance on the first day of each  month of the  beginning  of the
quarter;  (ii) the first  payment is due when the fund has  reached  its minimum
requirement.  In addition to (and not in substitution for) the annual collateral
agency fee, in the event that the Collateral Agent receives  directions from the
Majority  Noteholders  to  accelerate  and  enforce the  Noteholder  Obligations
following  an Event of Default,  the Debtor shall pay the  Collateral  Agent (so
long as this Agreement is in effect in accordance  with Section 6.9 hereof),  an
hourly  enforcement and  administration fee in the amount of One Hundred Dollars
($100.00) per hour for the services of the Collateral  Agent, in connection with
all administrative and enforcement  activities on behalf of the Collateral Agent
under this Agreement, which such enforcement and administration fee shall be due
and payable from time to time on demand (and with respect to the Debtor, without
any requirement for detailed invoicing).  All amounts payable under this Section
shall be paid without any  deduction  whatsoever,  including but not limited to,
any  deduction for any setoff or  counterclaim,  and all amounts paid under this
Section shall be non-refundable.  The agreements contained in this Section shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Security Documents.

         2.2 EXERCISE OF POWERS.  The Collateral  Agent shall take any action of
the type specified  herein or in any other Security  Documents,  as being within
the  Collateral  Agent's  rights,  powers or  discretion at the direction of the
Majority Noteholders (or, to the extent this Agreement or such Security Document
specifically  requires the  direction  of the  Supermajority  Noteholders,  then
instead at the  direction  of the  Supermajority  Noteholders),  or as otherwise
permitted or authorized to be taken by the Collateral  Agent.  In the absence of
any such  directions,  the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to take any
such action.  Any action or inaction by the  Collateral  Agent  pursuant to this
Agreement shall be binding on all of the Noteholders. The Collateral Agent shall
not have any  liability  to any Person as a result of (i) the  Collateral  Agent
acting or refraining  from acting at the  direction of the Majority  Noteholders
(or, where applicable, the Supermajority Noteholders), (ii) the Collateral Agent
refraining  from acting in the absence of  directions  to act from the  Majority
Noteholders (or, where applicable, the Supermajority Noteholders),  or (iii) the
Collateral Agent taking  discretionary action or inaction reasonably incident to
directions   from  the  Majority   Noteholders   (or,  where   applicable,   the
Supermajority Noteholders),  or as otherwise permitted or authorized to be taken
by the Collateral Agent.

         2.3 BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT. A Noteholder shall be entitled to the benefit
of this  Agreement  and the  other  Security  Documents  if,  and only if,  such
Noteholder  is party  hereto as of the date  hereof or,  subject to Section  6.5
hereof,  hereafter becomes party hereto pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption
Agreement, in the form of EXHIBIT "B" hereto (an "Assignment Agreement").

         2.4  AMENDMENTS TO LOAN  DOCUMENTS.  The  provisions of this  Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms regardless of

<PAGE>

any  amendment,  modification  or  supplement  to  any  Loan  Document.  Without
limitation of the foregoing,  this Agreement  shall apply in accordance with its
terms notwithstanding any increase,  decrease, addition or change in the amount,
nature, type or purpose of any of the Obligations.

         2.5     CERTAIN INTERCREDITOR MATTERS.

         (a) All principal,  interest and other amounts  payable under the Notes
shall be pari passu in right of payment (including without limitation,  payments
made in connection with the prepayment of all or any portion of the Notes),  and
the Debtor  shall,  until  otherwise  notified  by the  Collateral  Agent at the
direction of the Majority Noteholders following an Event of Default to make such
payments to the Collateral Agent for deposit in the Shared  Collateral  Account,
pay all such amounts  directly to the  Noteholders,  as applicable,  without any
deduction whatsoever, including but not limited to, any deduction for any setoff
or  counterclaim.   If,   notwithstanding  the  foregoing,   any  Noteholder  (a
"benefitted  Noteholder")  shall  at  any  time  receive  any  payment  (whether
voluntarily or  involuntarily  or by set-off) in a greater  proportion  than any
such payment received by any other Noteholder,  such benefitted Noteholder shall
purchase for cash from the other  Noteholders a participation in such portion of
each  such  other  Noteholder's  Notes,  as shall  be  necessary  to cause  such
benefitted Noteholder to share the excess payment ratably with each of the other
Noteholders;  provided,  however,  that if all or any  portion  of  such  excess
payment or benefits is thereafter  recovered  from such  benefitted  Noteholder,
such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price returned, to the extent
of such recovery, but without interest.  Each Noteholder so purchasing a portion
of a benefitted  Noteholder's  Notes may, subject to the terms hereof,  exercise
all rights (including,  without limitation,  voting rights) with respect to such
portion as fully as if such Noteholder were the direct holder of such portion.

         (b) The pari passu nature of the right of payments  under the Notes and
the priority of distributions specified in Article 4 of this Agreement are based
upon the assumptions  that (i) the payments made to each of the Noteholders will
be  nonavoidable,  (ii) the Liens in the  Collateral in favor of the  Collateral
Agent on behalf of each of the Noteholders will be equally valid,  perfected and
nonavoidable  as to each  Noteholder  and (iii) the Liens in the  Collateral  in
favor of the  Collateral  Agent on  behalf  of each of the  Noteholders  and the
claims  under  the  Notes of each of the  Noteholders  will be  deemed  of equal
priority as against all Persons other than the Noteholders. If and to the extent
any such  assumption  proves to be incorrect as to a  particular  Noteholder  or
particular  set of  Noteholders  as finally  determined  by a court of competent
jurisdiction, any resulting loss shall be borne solely by such Noteholder or set
of Noteholders,  and the distributions  referred to in Article 4 hereof shall be
adjusted accordingly with such Noteholder or set of Noteholders being liable for
any deficiency.

         (c) The Noteholders each hereby agree that,  irrespective of whether an
Event of Default exists, no Noteholder will, individually or in conjunction with
other  Noteholders,  (i)  amend  or  otherwise  modify  (A)  the  amount  of any
principal, interest or fees under any Note, or the time of payment of any of the
foregoing,  without the prior written consent of the  Supermajority  Noteholders
and prior written notice to the Collateral  Agent, or (B) any other terms of any
Note or other Loan Document  without the prior  written  consent of the Majority
Noteholders  and prior  written  notice to the  Collateral  Agent (and the prior
written  consent  of the  Collateral  Agent if such  amendment  or  modification
purports  to alter the rights or  obligations  of the  Collateral  Agent in such
capacity),  or (ii) waive (A) any Event of Default  resulting  from the Debtor's
failure to pay, when due, principal, interest or any fees under any Note without
the prior written  consent of the  Supermajority  Noteholders  and prior written
notice to the Collateral  Agent,  or (B) any other Event of Default  without the
prior written  consent of the Majority  Noteholders  and prior written notice to
the Collateral  Agent.  The  Noteholders  each hereby further agree that, if any
amendment or other modification, or waiver, is approved by the required level of
Noteholders  set  forth  in  the  preceding   sentence,   then  such  amendment,
modification  or waiver shall be binding upon and applicable to all  Noteholders
regardless of whether such Noteholders  consent or sign any document  evidencing

<PAGE>

such  amendment,  modification  or  waiver.  Any  purported  amendment  or other
modification  made in violation of this  Section  2.5(c) shall be void.  Nothing
contained  in this  Section  2(c) is intended to impair or  otherwise  limit the
rights and powers of the Collateral Agent set forth in Section 2.5(d) hereof.

         (d) The Noteholders hereby agree that,  notwithstanding anything to the
contrary  contained  in the Notes or the other  Loan  Documents,  following  the
occurrence  of an Event of  Default,  no  Noteholder  will,  individually  or in
conjunction  with  other  Noteholders,  accelerate  all  or any  portion  of the
Noteholder  Obligations,  make  demand for  payment of all or any portion of the
Noteholder  Obligations or otherwise take any enforcement action with respect to
all or any portion of the Noteholder  Obligations.  In accordance with the terms
hereof,  all such rights and remedies (and the power to exercise the same) shall
be exclusively  reserved for, and are hereby delegated to, the Collateral Agent.
If the Collateral  Agent receives  directions  from the Majority  Noteholders to
accelerate and enforce the Noteholder  Obligations on behalf of all Noteholders,
the determination and judgment as to the method,  manner,  performance,  timing,
nature and extent of all enforcement activities or actions, prior to and (to the
extent applicable)  during any Insolvency  Proceeding with respect to the Debtor
or any other obligor for the Noteholder Obligations,  shall be reserved for (and
hereby  hereby  delegated  to) the  Collateral  Agent  in its  sole  discretion;
provided,  however, that the Collateral Agent shall not (x) compromise or settle
the  principal  under  any Note for less  than  100% of the  outstanding  amount
thereof in cash, or (y) during the existence of an Event of Default,  release or
consent to the release of the  Collateral  Agent's Lien on all or  substantially
all of the Collateral,  as the case may be, without the prior written consent of
the  Supermajority  Noteholders  (it  being  acknowledged  and  agreed  that the
Collateral  Agent may, in its sole discretion,  compromise or settle  Noteholder
Obligations  other than principal for less than 100% of the  outstanding  amount
thereof in cash or release its Lien on less than all or substantially all of the
Collateral,  in each  case,  without  the  consent of any  Noteholder).  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the existence of any Insolvency
Proceeding  with respect to the Debtor or any other  obligor for the  Noteholder
Obligations,  the  Collateral  Agent  shall  have  the  exclusive  right to make
determinations  and judgments (which shall be binding on all  Noteholders)  with
respect to the use of cash collateral, the adequacy of any "adequate protection"
proposed  therefor,  the adequacy of the treatment of the Noteholders  under any
plan of  reorganization  and  all  matters  relating  to or  arising  out of the
Noteholder  Obligations,  the  Collateral  or  otherwise  (except  as  otherwise
provided in clauses (x) and (y) above).

         (e)  Notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary  contained  in Section
2.5(d) above or otherwise in this  Agreement,  the Collateral  Agent may request
that any  Noteholder  assist  the  Collateral  Agent in the  performance  of the
Collateral Agent's duties hereunder (e.g., the Collateral Agent may request that
any  Noteholder  exercise  rights  of  set-off  against  the  Debtor),  and each
Noteholder that elects to so assist the Collateral Agent (without any obligation
to do so) shall be deemed to be a  Collateral  Agent  Indemnified  Party and all
costs  and  expenses  of such  Noteholder  in  connection  with  providing  such
assistance shall be deemed to constitute Expenses.

         (f) The Noteholders  each hereby agree that upon any realization on the
Loan  Documents,  including  but  not  limited  to  realization  on  any  of the
Collateral or any collection or  application of funds,  by set-off or otherwise,
on account of any  Obligations,  the Noteholders  shall share in the proceeds of
such realization in the manner provided in this Agreement, and if any Noteholder
shall realize any funds on the Loan  Documents  otherwise  than pursuant to this
Agreement,  such Noteholder shall remit the same to the Collateral Agent,  which
shall apply the same as provided herein.

         (g) The Debtor shall not grant,  and no Noteholder  shall receive,  any
Lien on any property or any credit support for any Noteholder  Obligation  other
than pursuant to the Security  Documents.  If, however,  any Noteholder receives
any such Lien or credit  support in  derogation  of this  Section  2.5(g),  such
Noteholder  shall  provide the other  Noteholders  with the benefits of any such
Lien or credit support, or the proceeds thereof, on a ratable basis.

<PAGE>

         (h) In furtherance of the Debtor's right to sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of all or any portion of the Loan Portfolio under the Security Agreement
so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,  the  Noteholders
each hereby authorize the Collateral  Agent,  upon the request of the Debtor and
without further consent of any Noteholder,  to release or subordinate,  in whole
or in part, the Collateral  Agent's Lien on the Loan Portfolio to the extent the
Loan Portfolio,  or any portion thereof, is sold or otherwise disposed of by the
Debtor so long as the Collateral  Agent has no actual knowledge that an Event of
Default exists. The Noteholders  acknowledge that the Security Agreement further
permits the Debtor to retain and utilize the proceeds of any such sale, transfer
or other disposition so long as no Event of Default exists.

         (i) In the event of the  occurrence of an Event of Default with respect
to any loan  contained  within  the Loan  Portfolio,  Debtor  agrees to  provide
written  notice to the  Collateral  Agent on a prompt  basis  setting  forth the
nature of the Event of  Default,  the  outstanding  balances  of  principal  and
interest with respect to the defaulted  loan, a summary of the  collateral  held
with respect to such loan, any proposed  resolution curing the Event of Default,
and such other  terms or  circumstances  as may be  relevant.  Thereafter,  on a
monthly  basis,  the  Debtor  shall  provide a monthly  written  summary  to the
Collateral  Agent of the status of and defaulted loans within the Loan Portfolio
including  any action  being taken by the Debtor with  respect to the  defaulted
loan.

         ARTICLE 3 - SECURITY DOCUMENTS

         3.1     GENERAL RELATION TO SECURITY DOCUMENTS.

         (a)  Subject to Section 2.2 hereof,  all of the  powers,  remedies  and
rights of the  Collateral  Agent as set forth in this Agreement may be exercised
by the Collateral Agent in respect of any other Security  Document as though set
forth  in full  therein  and  all of the  powers,  remedies  and  rights  of the
Collateral  Agent as set forth in any other  Security  Document may be exercised
from time to time as herein and therein provided.

         (b) This  Agreement  is  intended  to be  supplemental  to,  and not in
limitation of, the other Security Documents. However, in the event of actual and
irreconcilable  conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of the
other Security Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall be controlling.

         3.2 RIGHT TO INITIATE JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS.  If an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing,  the  Collateral  Agent (a) shall have the right and
power to  institute  and  maintain  such  suits and  proceedings  as it may deem
appropriate to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Agreement and
each other  Security  Document and (b) may proceed by suit or suits at law or in
equity to enforce such rights and to foreclose  upon the  Collateral and to sell
all or, from time to time, any of the Collateral whether pursuant to the Uniform
Commercial Code or other applicable law or pursuant to a judgment or decree of a
court of competent  jurisdiction.  This Section  shall not be construed to limit
any right or remedy  otherwise  available  to the  Collateral  Agent  under this
Agreement,  any other  Security  Document  or  otherwise  by law to act  without
judicial proceedings.

         3.3 REMEDIES NOT EXCLUSIVE,  ETC. No remedy  conferred upon or reserved
to the  Collateral  Agent or any  Noteholder  herein  or in any  other  Security
Document or Loan  Document is intended to be  exclusive  of any other  remedy or
remedies,  but every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to
every other remedy conferred  herein or any other Security  Document or any Loan
Document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.

<PAGE>

         3.4 NO DUTY TO THE DEBTOR. The Collateral Agent shall not have any duty
to the  Debtor as to any  Collateral  in its  possession  or  control  or in the
possession or control of any of its agents or nominees, or any income thereon or
as to the  preservation  of rights  against  prior  parties or any other  rights
pertaining thereto.

         ARTICLE 4 - DISTRIBUTIONS

         4.1 SHARED COLLATERAL ACCOUNT. For purposes of collecting cash proceeds
of the  Collateral,  the  Collateral  Agent shall  establish one or more deposit
accounts with a financial  institution  selected by the Collateral Agent, titled
in its  own  name as  Collateral  Agent  hereunder  (collectively,  the  "Shared
Collateral  Account").   The  Collateral  Agent  shall  deposit  in  the  Shared
Collateral  Account for  distribution  pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof,  all cash
proceeds from the disposition of, or realization upon,  Collateral and all other
funds required to be so deposited under any Security  Document or any other Loan
Document.  No other funds shall be deposited in the Shared Collateral Account or
commingled with funds in the Shared  Collateral  Account.  The Shared Collateral
Account shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Collateral
Agent and shall constitute shared  collateral  hereunder.  All right,  title and
interest in and to the Shared Collateral Account,  funds on deposit therein from
time to time,  all proceeds of the  conversion  thereof into cash,  instruments,
securities or other property,  and all other proceeds thereof, shall vest in the
Collateral  Agent, and the Debtor hereby confirms and agrees that all such items
shall remain  subject to the Lien of the Collateral  Agent,  subject to no other
Lien.

         4.2 INVESTMENT. The Collateral Agent may (but shall not be required to)
invest  moneys on deposit in the Shared  Collateral  Account in cash  equivalent
investments in its own name as agent hereunder, and all such investments and the
interest  and  income  received  thereon  and the net  proceeds  on the  sale or
redemption  thereof  shall  be  held  in  the  Shared  Collateral  Account.  The
Collateral  Agent  may  liquidate  investments  prior  to  maturity  to  make  a
distribution  pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof.  The Collateral Agent shall not be
liable for (i) any dimunition in value of any investment made in accordance with
this Section 4.2, or (ii) interest on any payments, distributions or proceeds of
Collateral  received by the  Collateral  Agent  except to the extent of interest
actually  received by the Collateral  Agent based upon investments made pursuant
to the first sentence of this Section 4.2.

         4.3  INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

         4.4  DISTRIBUTIONS.  The Collateral Agent shall make distributions from
the  Shared  Collateral  Account  (to the  extent of funds  then  available  for
distribution),  on a monthly basis (or at such other times as may be required by
law),   following  the  Collateral  Agent's  initial  receipt  of  any  payment,
distribution  or  proceeds of  Collateral  during the  existence  of an Event of
Default,  except that the  Collateral  Agent shall have the right at any time to
apply moneys held by it in the Shared  Collateral  Account to the payment of due
and unpaid Collateral Agent Obligations. All moneys held by the Collateral Agent
in  the  Shared   Collateral   Account  shall,  to  the  extent   available  for
distribution, be distributed by the Collateral Agent as follows:
         First: to the Collateral Agent for  any  Collateral  Agent  Obligations
unpaid on such distribution date;

         Second: to the Noteholders in an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid
interest on the Notes on such distribution date;  provided,  that if such moneys
to be distributed by the Collateral  Agent shall be  insufficient to pay in full
such amounts,  then such distribution shall be made ratably (without priority of
any one over any other) to the Noteholders in accordance with each  Noteholder's
Pro Rata Share on such distribution date;

         Third: to the Noteholders in an amount equal to all unpaid principal on
the  Notes  on such  distribution  date;  provided,  that if such  moneys  to be
distributed by the Collateral  Agent shall be  insufficient  to pay in full such

<PAGE>

amounts,  then such distribution  shall be made ratably (without priority of any
one over any other) to the Noteholders in accordance with each  Noteholder's Pro
Rata Share on such distribution date; and

         Fourth: to the Noteholders for any other Noteholder  Obligations unpaid
on such distribution  date;  provided,  that if such moneys to be distributed by
the Collateral  Agent shall be  insufficient  to pay in full such amounts,  then
such  distribution  shall be made ratably (without  priority of any one over any
other) to the Noteholders in accordance with each Noteholder's Pro Rata Share on
such distribution date;

         Finally:  if all Obligations  shall have been paid in full in cash, any
surplus then remaining  shall be paid to the Debtor or its successors or assigns
or to whomsoever  may be lawfully  entitled to receive the same or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may direct.

         This Section 4.4 is intended solely to govern the  distributions  among
the Noteholders  and shall not impose on the Collateral  Agent any obligation in
respect of disposition of funds from the Shared  Collateral  Account which would
conflict with any order or decree of any court or governmental  authority or any
applicable law.

         4.5 CALCULATIONS. In making the determinations and allocations required
by Section 4.4 hereof,  the Collateral Agent may rely upon information  supplied
by the  Noteholders,  and the  Collateral  Agent shall have no  liability to the
Debtor  or  any  other   Noteholder  for  actions  taken  in  reliance  on  such
information.  All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section
4.4 hereof shall be final as against the  Collateral  Agent,  and the Collateral
Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the  application by the Noteholders of
any amounts distributed to them.

         4.6  APPLICATION  OF MONEYS.  Each  Noteholder  agrees to apply  moneys
distributed  under  Section  4.4  hereof to  satisfaction  of the  corresponding
Obligation described therein.

         ARTICLE 5 - THE COLLATERAL AGENT

         5.1 GENERAL NATURE OF DUTIES. The Collateral Agent shall have no duties
or  responsibilities to the Noteholders except those expressly set forth in this
Agreement,  and  no  implied  duties  or  responsibilities  on the  part  of the
Collateral  Agent  shall be read  into  this  Agreement  or any  other  Security
Document  or shall  otherwise  exist.  The  duties and  responsibilities  of the
Collateral  Agent shall be  mechanical  and  administrative  in nature,  and the
Collateral  Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary,  trust
or similar relationship with any Noteholder. Subject to Section 5.13 hereof, the
Collateral  Agent is and shall be the sole collateral  agent of the Noteholders.
The Collateral  Agent, in such capacity,  does not assume,  and shall not at any
time be deemed to have, any  relationship of agency or trust with or for, or any
other  duty or  responsibility  to,  the  Debtor or any  Person  other  than the
Noteholders (and, with respect to the Noteholders,  only to the extent expressly
set forth herein). The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to take any
action  hereunder or under any other Security  Document if the Collateral  Agent
believes in good faith that taking such actions may conflict with any law or any
provision of this Agreement or any other Security  Document,  or may require the
Collateral Agent to qualify to do business in any  jurisdiction  where it is not
then qualified.

<PAGE>

         5.2 GENERAL EXCULPATION.  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or
of any other  Security  Document,  neither the  Collateral  Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith, except as
such action or omission are caused solely from its or their own gross negligence
or  willful   misconduct   as  finally   determined  by  a  court  of  competent
jurisdiction.

         5.3        CERTAIN DISCLAIMERS.

         (a) By  execution  of or joining  in this  Agreement,  each  Noteholder
acknowledges  that it has entered into this  Agreement and the  applicable  Loan
Documents solely upon its own independent  investigation and is not relying upon
any information supplied by or any representations made by the Collateral Agent.
Each  Noteholder has analyzed and considered all tax and credit  implications of
such  transactions.  Each Noteholder shall continue to make its own analysis and
evaluation of the Debtor or any other obligor.  The  Collateral  Agent shall not
have any duty to provide any  Noteholder  with any  information  concerning  the
business or financial condition of the Debtor or concerning the Collateral.

         (b) The  Collateral  Agent shall have no  obligation  whatsoever to any
Noteholder  or any  other  Person to  investigate,  confirm  or assure  that the
Collateral  exists or is owned by the  Debtor,  or is cared  for,  protected  or
insured or has been  encumbered,  or that Liens granted to the Collateral  Agent
under the Security  Documents or otherwise have been properly or sufficiently or
lawfully  created,  perfected,  protected  or  enforced  or  are  entitled  to a
particular priority, or to exercise at all in any particular manner or under any
duty of care,  disclosure or fidelity,  or continue  exercising,  any rights and
powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent.

         (c) The  Collateral  Agent  makes no  representation  or  warranty  and
assumes no  responsibility  with respect to (i) the  financial  condition of the
Debtor or any other obligor;  (ii) the sufficiency of any Collateral;  (iii) the
accuracy,  sufficiency or currency of any  information  concerning the financial
condition,  prospects  or  results  of  operations  of the  Debtor  or any other
obligor;  or (iv) the  sufficiency,  authenticity,  legal  effect,  validity  or
enforceability  of this  Agreement,  the  Security  Documents  or any other Loan
Documents.  The  Collateral  Agent assumes no  responsibility  or liability with
respect to the  collectibility  of the  Obligations  or the  performance  by the
Debtor or any other obligor of any obligation under the Loan Documents.

         (d) The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to any Noteholder
to  ascertain,  inquire or give any notice  relating to (i) the  performance  or
observance  by the Debtor or any other Person of the terms or conditions of this
Agreement,  any other  Security  Document or any other Loan  Document,  (ii) the
business,  operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Debtor or any
other  obligor  or (iii) the  existence  or  possible  existence  of an Event of
Default.

         5.4 RIGHT TO REQUIRE  INDEMNITY.  The  Collateral  Agent shall be fully
justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder or under any other
Security Document unless it shall first receive,  if requested by the Collateral
Agent,   further   assurances   from  the   Noteholders   with  respect  to  the
indemnification provided herein, to the Collateral Agent's satisfaction, against
any and all liability (including, without limitation, tax liability) and expense
which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or  continuing  to take any such
action.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,  the Collateral Agent
shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action  hereunder or
under any other Security Document unless it shall first receive, if requested by
the  Collateral  Agent,  funds from the  Noteholders  in an amount  equal to the
Expenses that the  Collateral  Agent  reasonably  expects to incur in connection
with any such  action,  together  with an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid

<PAGE>

fees under Section 2.1(c) hereof. All amounts paid by the Noteholders under this
Section 5.4 shall constitute part of the Noteholder Obligations.

         5.5  DELEGATION OF DUTIES.  The Collateral Agent may execute any of its
duties as Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Security  Document by or
through  employees,   agents  (including,   without  limitation,   one  or  more
Noteholders) and  attorneys-in-fact  and shall not be answerable for the default
or  misconduct  of any such agents or  attorneys-in-fact  selected by it in good
faith.

         5.6  RELIANCE, ETC.

         (a) Whenever in the  administration  of duties under this  Agreement or
the other  Security  Documents the  Collateral  Agent shall deem it necessary or
desirable that a matter be proved or  established  with respect to the Debtor or
any other  Person in  connection  with the taking,  suffering or omitting of any
action  hereunder or  thereunder  by the  Collateral  Agent,  such matter may be
provided or  established  by a  certificate  of the Debtor or such other  Person
delivered to the Collateral  Agent,  and the Collateral  Agent may  conclusively
rely thereon.

         (b) The  Collateral  Agent  shall be  entitled to rely upon any notice,
consent,  certificate,  affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper, document,
telephone  conversation or other communication  believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been  signed,  sent or made by the proper  Person or Persons
(whether  or not  made  in the  manner  specified  herein  or in the  applicable
Security  Documents).  The Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon the truth
of  the  statements  and  the  correctness  of  the  opinions  expressed  in any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Collateral Agent and conforming to the
requirements of this Agreement or any other Security Document.

         (c) The Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel,  and any other
professional  advisors  or  consultants  deemed  necessary  or  appropriate  and
selected by the Collateral Agent and shall not be liable for any action taken or
suffered  in good faith by it in  accordance  with the  advice of such  counsel,
advisors or consultants.

         5.7  COLLATERAL  AGENT  IN  INDIVIDUAL  CAPACITY.   Collateral  Service
Associates,  LLC and  its  Affiliates  may be  Noteholders,  and in  such  event
Collateral  Service  Associates,  LLC and such Affiliates,  in their capacity as
Noteholders,  shall have the same rights and powers as any other Noteholder, and
may exercise the same as though Collateral Service Associates,  LLC were not the
Collateral  Agent,  and the term  "Noteholders"  shall  include  the  Collateral
Service  Associates,  LLC,  in  its  individual  capacity,  together  with  such
Affiliates.  Collateral Service Associates, LLC, in its individual capacity, and
its Affiliates may, without  liability to account to any Noteholder,  make loans
to,  investments  in, and  generally  engage in any kind of business  with,  the
Debtor and the  Debtor's  equity  holders and  Affiliates  as though  Collateral
Service  Associates,  LLC, in its  individual  capacity,  were not acting as the
Collateral Agent hereunder.

         5.8  INTENTIONALLY DELETED.

         5.9  EXPENSES.  The Debtor hereby agrees to pay or cause to be paid and
to save the Collateral Agent harmless  against  liability for the payment of all
Expenses.  Each Noteholder hereby agrees to reimburse and to save the Collateral
Agent harmless against  liability for the payment of all Expenses (to the extent
the Collateral  Agent is not reimbursed by the Debtor and without  limitation of
the obligation of the Debtor to do so, it being acknowledged and agreed that the
Collateral  Agent  shall have no  obligation  to exhaust  any rights or remedies
against the Debtor prior to collecting  on the  indemnification  provided  under
this Section 5.9),  ratably in accordance with each Noteholder's Pro Rata Share.
All amounts  payable  under this Section shall be due on demand and paid without
any  deduction  whatsoever,  including but not limited to, any deduction for any

<PAGE>

setoff or counterclaim.  All amounts paid by the Noteholders  under this Section
5.9  shall  constitute  part  of  the  Noteholder  Obligations.  The  agreements
contained in this Section shall survive the  termination  of this  Agreement and
the other Security Documents.

         5.10 INDEMNITY. The Debtor hereby agrees to reimburse and indemnify the
Collateral  Agent,  its affiliates,  and their respective  directors,  officers,
employees,  attorneys and agents ("Collateral Agent Indemnified  Parties"),  and
each of them,  from and against any and all  liabilities,  obligations,  losses,
damages, penalties,  actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever (including,  without limitation, the reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel for such Collateral Agent Indemnified Party in
connection  with  any  investigative,   administrative  or  judicial  proceeding
commenced or threatened,  whether or not such Collateral Agent Indemnified Party
shall be  designated a party  thereto)  which may be imposed on,  incurred by or
asserted  against  any of them in any way  relating  to or  arising  out of this
Agreement,  any other Security  Document or any other agreement or instrument in
connection  herewith or therewith or the matters  referred to herein or therein,
or the administration or enforcement  hereof or thereof,  or any action taken or
omitted by the Collateral Agent hereunder or thereunder; provided, however, that
the Debtor shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
losses,  damages,  penalties,  actions,  judgments,  suits,  costs,  expenses or
disbursements  solely resulting from the gross negligence or willful  misconduct
of such Collateral Agent Indemnified  Party, as finally determined by a court of
competent  jurisdiction.  All amounts payable under this Section shall be due on
demand and paid without any deduction whatsoever,  including but not limited to,
any deduction for any setoff or counterclaim.  The agreements  contained in this
Section shall survive the  termination  of this Agreement and the other Security
Documents.

         5.11  INDEMNIFICATION  BY NOTEHOLDERS.  Each Noteholder (other than the
Collateral Agent) hereby agrees to reimburse and indemnify each Collateral Agent
Indemnified  Party (to the extent such Collateral Agent Indemnified Party is not
reimbursed by the Debtor and without  limitation of the  obligation of Debtor to
do so, it being  acknowledged and agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have no
obligation  to  exhaust  any rights or  remedies  against  the  Debtor  prior to
collecting on the indemnification  provided under this Section 5.11), ratably in
accordance with each  Noteholder's Pro Rata Share,  from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs,  expenses  or  disbursements  of any kind or nature  (including,  without
limitation,  the fees and  disbursements  of counsel for such  Collateral  Agent
Indemnified  Party in  connection  with  any  investigative,  administrative  or
judicial  proceeding  commenced or  threatened,  whether or not such  Collateral
Agent  Indemnified  Party  shall be  designated  a party  thereto)  which may be
imposed on,  incurred by or asserted  against any of them in any way relating to
or arising  out of this  Agreement,  any other  Security  Document  or any other
agreement  or  instrument  in  connection  herewith or  therewith or the matters
referred to herein or therein,  or the  administration or enforcement  hereof or
thereof,  or any action taken or omitted by the  Collateral  Agent  hereunder or
thereunder;  provided,  however,  that no  Noteholder  shall be  liable  for any
portion of such liabilities,  obligations,  losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments,  suits,  costs,  expenses or disbursements  solely resulting from the
gross  negligence or willful  misconduct of such  Collateral  Agent  Indemnified
Party, as finally determined by a court of competent  jurisdiction.  All amounts
payable under this Section shall be due on demand and paid without any deduction
whatsoever,  including  but not  limited  to,  any  deduction  for any setoff or
counterclaim.  All amounts paid by the Noteholders under this Section 5.11 shall
constitute part of the Noteholder Obligations.  The agreements contained in this
Section shall survive the  termination  of this Agreement and the other Security
Documents.

         5.12  INTEREST.  All  amounts  payable by the Debtor to the  Collateral
Agent under this Agreement or any other Security  Document  (whether or not paid
or reimbursed by the Noteholders)  shall bear interest  (without  duplication of

<PAGE>

any interest obligation under any other Loan Document) from the date when due to
the date of payment  (before and after  judgment)  at the rate of eight  percent
(8%) per annum.

         5.13 SUCCESSOR COLLATERAL AGENT. The Collateral Agent may resign at any
time  upon  giving  thirty  (30)  days  prior  written  notice  thereof  to  the
Noteholders  and the  Debtor  and the  Collateral  Agent may be  removed  as the
Collateral  Agent  hereunder  upon  the  written  consent  of the  Supermajority
Noteholders  exclusive of the Collateral Agent upon the final determination by a
court of competent jurisdiction of willful misconduct by the Collateral Agent in
the performance of the Collateral Agent's duties or responsibilities  under this
Agreement.  Upon any resignation or permitted  removal of the Collateral  Agent,
the  Noteholders  (exclusive  of the  Collateral  Agent) shall have the right to
appoint a successor  Collateral  Agent by majority vote (based upon the Pro Rata
Shares of the  Noteholders  (exclusive of the Collateral  Agent)) subject to the
prior  consent of the Debtor if, and only if, no Event of Default has  occurred,
which such consent shall not be unreasonably  withheld,  conditioned or delayed.
If, in connection with the Collateral Agent's resignation,  the Noteholders fail
to  appoint  a  successor  Collateral  Agent in  accordance  with the  preceding
sentence  within the thirty (30)  day-period  described in the first sentence of
this Section 5.13, then the Collateral  Agent shall have the unilateral right to
appoint a successor  Collateral Agent. Upon the acceptance of the appointment as
a successor  Collateral Agent hereunder by such successor  Collateral Agent (and
payment in full of all outstanding  Collateral  Agent  Obligations  owing to the
resigning or removed  Collateral Agent),  such successor  Collateral Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers,  obligations and
duties of the resigning or removed Collateral Agent and the resigning or removed
Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations  hereunder,
provided  that all  rights  to  indemnification  in favor of such  resigning  or
removed Collateral Agent hereunder shall survive its resignation or removal.

                   FORM OF ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT

         THIS ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION  AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"),  dated as
of  _____________,  200__,  is  between  _________________(the  "Assignor")  and
_______________  (the "Assignee"),  and acknowledged (or deemed acknowledged) by
Interfund  Investment  Fund  I,  LLC  (the  "Company")  and  Collateral  Service
Associates,  LLC, as the Collateral Agent under the Collateral  Agency Agreement
described below.

         WHEREAS, the Assignor is a party to a Note Purchase Agreement, dated as
of ________________,  200__ (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time,
the "Note  Purchase  Agreement"),  with  Interfund  Investment  Fund I, LLC (the
"Company");

         WHEREAS, in conjunction with the Note Purchase  Agreement,  the Company
issued to the Assignor one or more 8% Secured Promissory Notes, each dated as of
________________, 200__ (each a "Note" and collectively, the "Notes");

         WHEREAS,  in order to secure  its  obligations  under the  Note(s)  and
related agreements,  the Company entered into a Security Agreement,  dated as of
December  22,  2003 (as amended or  otherwise  modified  from time to time,  the
"Security  Agreement"),  with the Collateral Agent whereby the Company granted a
security  interest  in the  Collateral  (as defined  therein) to the  Collateral
Agent,  for the benefit of the Collateral  Agent and the Noteholders (as defined
in the Collateral Agency Agreement),  including the Assignor, in order to secure
such obligations;

         WHEREAS,  the Company, the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders entered
into a Collateral Agency Agreement,  dated as of February 5, 2004 (as amended or
otherwise  modified  from  time to time,  the  "Collateral  Agency  Agreement"),
whereby the Noteholders  appointed the Collateral  Agent as collateral  agent in
accordance with the terms thereof;

         WHEREAS,  the Assignor  desires to assign to Assignee all of its right,
title and interest in the Assigned  Notes (as defined  below) and to delegate to
the Assignee the Assigned  Interest (as defined  below),  in each case,  as more
fully set forth below; and

         WHEREAS,  the  Assignee  desires  to  become  a  Noteholder  under  the
Collateral  Agency Agreement and to accept such assignment and delegation of the
Assigned Interest from the Assignor.

         NOW  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the foregoing and the agreements
herein contained, the Assignor and the Assignee hereby agree as follows:

         1.  Capitalized  terms used but not otherwise  defined  herein have the
respective meanings given to them in the Collateral Agency Agreement.

<PAGE>

         2. Without recourse and without  representations or  warranties  of any
kind (except as expressly set forth below),  the Assignor hereby irrevocably (i)
assigns and transfers to the

         Assignee all of the Assignor's right,  title and interest in and to the
specific  Notes  described  on Schedule A hereto  (collectively,  the  "Assigned
Notes"),   and  (ii)  delegates,   assigns  and  transfers  to  the  Assignee  a
proportionate  interest  in its rights and duties  under the  Collateral  Agency
Agreement and in connection  with the  Collateral  (collectively,  the "Assigned
Interest"), in each case, together with all proceeds, profits and returns of and
from, all rights to prosecute, settle or otherwise pursue, and all distributions
on and rights  arising out of, the  Assigned  Notes and the  Assigned  Interest,
subject to the limitations contained in the Collateral Agency Agreement.

         3. The Assignee hereby irrevocably assumes,  purchases and accepts such
assignment  and  delegation  and agrees to be a  Noteholder  with respect to the
Assigned  Notes  and the  Assigned  Interest  and to be bound by the  terms  and
conditions of the Collateral Agency Agreement and the Loan Documents.

         4. The  Assignor  and the  Assignee  each  acknowledge  and agree  that
interest and fees accrued prior to the Effective Date (as defined below) are for
the account of the Assignor.

         5. The assignment and delegation contemplated by this Agreement will be
effective and the Assignee will become a Noteholder under the Collateral  Agency
Agreement and the Loan  Documents,  and shall be deemed to be a signatory to the
Collateral Agency Agreement, as of the date of this Agreement ("Effective Date")
and upon (i) payment of the Purchase  Price (as defined  below) to the Assignor,
(ii)  execution  and delivery of this  Agreement by each of the Assignor and the
Assignee,  and (iii) execution and delivery of a new Note Purchase  Agreement by
the Assignee in favor of the Company.  If the conditions  precedent set forth in
the preceding sentence are satisfied, the assignment and delegation contemplated
by this Agreement shall become effective without the need for  acknowledgment by
the Company or the Collateral Agent; provided,  however, that if the Assignee is
not a Qualified Transferee,  the assignment and delegation  contemplated by this
Agreement shall be null and void.

         6. The Assignee  will pay to the  Assignor,  in  immediately  available
funds, not later than 12:00 noon (Eastern time) on the Effective Date, an amount
equal to $__________ (the "Purchase Price").

         7. Promptly after the Effective  Date, the Assignor will deliver to the
Assignee the original Assigned Notes (or "lost note"  affidavits).  The Assignee
may, at its option,  request that the Company issue replacement Notes evidencing
the  indebtedness  represented  by the  Assigned  Notes by  delivering a written
request  therefor to the Company  together with the original  Assigned Notes (or
"lost note" affidavits).

         8. The  Assignor  represents  and  warrants  to the  Assignee  that the
Assignor is the legal and beneficial  owner of the interests  being assigned and
delegated hereby, free and clear of

<PAGE>

any  adverse  claim,  lien,  encumbrance,   security  interest,  restriction  on
transfer,  purchase option, call or similar right of a third party. The Assignee
represents,  warrants,  and  covenants the following to the Assignor (and to the
Collateral  Agent  and  the  Company  as  third  party   beneficiaries  of  this
Agreement):  (i) the Assignee is a Qualified Transferee, and will continue to be
a  Qualified  Transferee;  (ii)  the  Assignee  has  made  its  own  independent
investigation  and  appraisal  of the  financial  condition  and  affairs of the
Company,  has conducted its own evaluation of the Loan Documents,  the Company's
creditworthiness and the interests being assigned and delegated hereby, has made
its decision to become a Noteholder  independently and without reliance upon the
Assignor  or the  Collateral  Agent,  and will  continue to do so; and (iii) the
Assignee  understands  that its  ability to  further  assign  and  delegate  the
interest being  assigned and delegated  hereby is restricted by the terms of the
Loan Documents.

         9. No course of dealing and no delay or failure of any party  hereto in
exercising any right, power or privilege  hereunder or under any other documents
or instruments  pursuant to or in connection  herewith shall affect any other or
future exercise thereof or exercise of any other right, power or privilege;  nor
shall any single or partial  exercise of any such right,  power or  privilege or
any  abandonment or  discontinuance  of steps to enforce such a right,  power or
privilege  preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or
privilege.

         10. The provisions of this Agreement are deemed to be severable. If any
provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable,  in whole or
in part,  such provision  shall, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity
or   unenforceability   without  in  any  manner   affecting   the  validity  or
enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof.

         11. This Agreement may be executed in any number of  counterparts  each
of which  shall be deemed an  original,  but all of which taken  together  shall
constitute  one and the same  instrument.  This  Agreement  may be  delivered by
facsimile  with the same  force and  effect as if it were a  manually  delivered
counterpart.

         12. This  Agreement  shall be binding  upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns,  except that the
Assignee may not assign or transfer any of its rights or  obligations  hereunder
or any  interest  therein  unless such  assignee  or  transferee  constitutes  a
Qualified  Transferee and such Qualified Transferee executes and delivers to the
Collateral Agent an Assignment  Agreement;  and any such purported assignment or
transfer shall be null and void.

         13. The Company  and the  Collateral  Agent  shall each be  third-party
beneficiaries of this Agreement. No other Person shall have any rights hereunder
or shall be entitled to rely on any provision hereof.

         14. THIS  AGREEMENT AND ALL MATTERS  RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT  SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF FLORIDA, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES.

<PAGE>

         15. EACH PARTY  HERETO  WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A JURY
TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LITIGATION  COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY
HERETO (OR THE COMPANY OR THE  COLLATERAL  AGENT) WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT
AND ALL MATTERS RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

         16.  EACH  OF  THE   PARTIES   HERETO   IRREVOCABLY   CONSENTS  TO  THE
NON-EXCLUSIVE  JURISDICTION  OF COURTS OF RECORD OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA LOCATED
IN PALM BEACH COUNTY,  FLORIDA AND THE UNITED STATES  DISTRICT  COURT LOCATED IN
SUCH COUNTY, WHICHEVER THE COLLATERAL AGENT MAY ELECT.

         17. Any  amendment of this  Agreement  must be in writing and signed by
each of the parties to be bound thereby.

         18.  Each party  hereto  shall  execute  and deliver to any other party
hereto such  additional  agreements,  documents  and  instruments  and take such
further actions as may be reasonably requested by such other party to effectuate
the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.
