this Agreement, as follows:
Section 3.1 NO OTHER LIEN.
(a) Each Grantor owns and, as to all of its Collateral, whether
now existing or hereafter acquired, will continue to own, each item of its
Collateral free and clear of any and all Liens, rights or claims of all other
Persons other than Permitted Liens; such Grantor has the right to pledge, sell,
assign or transfer such Collateral, subject to the terms of the Indenture, and
such Grantor shall defend such Collateral against all claims and demands of all
Persons (except beneficiaries of Permitted Liens) at any time claiming the same

(b) No effective financing statement or other evidence of a Lien
covering or purporting to cover any of such Grantor's Collateral is or will be

Perfection Collateral in the filing offices set forth on Schedule 3.2 hereto,
(ii) in the case of such Grantor's Deposit Account, if any (other than the
Collateral Account which does not require the execution of a Control Agreement

steps with respect to a Deposit Account held by a Bank not domiciled in the
United States), and (iii) to the extent not subject to Article 9 of the UCC, in
the case of such Grantor's Security Collateral, if any, upon the delivery of
such Grantor's Security Collateral and Investments, to the Collateral Trustee,
then in each instance, the Security Interests in such Grantor's Collateral
described in subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) above granted to the Collateral
Trustee hereunder will constitute perfected first priority Security Interests
therein superior and prior to all Liens (other than Permitted Liens pursuant to
Section 8.04(4)(a), (b) or (c) of the Indenture and the Trustee's lien pursuant
to Section 12.06 of the Indenture), rights or claims of all other Persons;

Security Interest can be perfected by such filings or delivery.

(a) Such Grantor's Pledged Stock, if any, has been and when issued

Pledged Stock is fully paid, non-assessable and freely transferable to the
Collateral Trustee. An appropriate notation has been or will be placed on the
stock ledger or other books and records of the respective issuer of such Pledged
Stock in the case of Pledged Stock included in the Initial Perfection Collateral

the case of Pledged Stock that is not Initial Perfection Collateral or that is
hereafter acquired by the Grantors, will be so placed on the stock ledger or
other books and records of the respective issuer of such stock pledged
hereunder) in order to reflect the pledge in favor of the Collateral Trustee for
the ratable benefit and security of the Holders created or provided for in this
Agreement. Each of such Grantor's Pledged Notes, if any, has been duly
authorized, authenticated or issued and delivered, and is the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the issuer or issuers thereof, is freely transferable to
the Collateral Trustee and is not in default.
(b) Such Grantor's Pledged Stock, if any, constitutes (i) the
percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the
respective issuers thereof indicated on Schedule 3.3 hereto and (ii) all of the
shares of Capital Stock of the respective issuer held by the Grantor. There are
no outstanding options, warrants or other rights to purchase any shares of the
7
Pledged Stock. Such Grantor's Pledged Notes, if any, are outstanding in the
principal amount indicated on Schedule 3.3 hereto.
Section 3.4 JURISDICTION OF ORGANIZATION; CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICE;
RECORDS. The jurisdiction of organization, exact legal name and jurisdiction of
chief executive office of each Grantor is as specified on Schedule 3.4 hereto.
Such Grantor's Receivables Records, Contracts and Collateral Records are at the

Section 3.5 LOCATION OF INVENTORY AND EQUIPMENT. All such Grantor's
Inventory and Equipment now or from time to time included in the Collateral are
kept only at the locations listed on Schedule 3.5 hereto. None of such Inventory
or Equipment is in the possession of an issuer of a negotiable document (as
defined in Section 7-104 of the UCC) therefor or otherwise in the possession of
a bailee.
Section 3.6 RECEIVABLES. All Accounts and other Receivables of such
Grantor, to the Company's knowledge, represent enforceable obligations of the

8

third party that, or any reason why, any of the Patents, Trademarks and
Copyrights are or would be invalid or unenforceable.
Section 3.9 DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS. Schedule 3.9 is a complete list of all
Deposit Accounts maintained by such Grantor on the date hereof and includes the
name and location of the financial institutions with which such Deposit Accounts
are maintained and the account numbers.
Section 3.10 FORECLOSURE VALUE. The Company believes in good faith that
Schedule 3.10 hereto lists substantially all of the assets of the Company and
its Subsidiaries as of the Issue Date. The foreclosure values of the assets
listed on Schedule 3.10 hereto represent the Company's good faith best estimate
of the actual foreclosure values of such assets. Such foreclosure values have
been reasonably prepared based on assumptions reflecting the best currently
available estimates and good faith judgments by management of the Company. Based
on such Schedule 3.10, the foreclosure value of assets subject to a perfected
Security Interest granted to the Collateral Trustee hereunder is equal to not
less than 85% of the aggregate foreclosure value of the assets listed on
Schedule 3.10. For the purposes hereof, the term "foreclosure values" means the
cash consideration, as of the date hereof, that would be received by the
Trustee, on behalf of the holders of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, in
the event of a sale of any assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries to a third
party upon the foreclosure of one or more liens on such assets.

deposit into the Collateral Account.
Section 9.4 COLLATERAL ACCOUNT. If an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, upon direction from the Trustee, the Collateral Trustee, with
written notice to Grantor, may liquidate any securities credited to the
Collateral Account and pay over the proceeds thereof and
20
any other amounts credited to the Collateral Account to the Trustee for
application in accordance with the Indenture. Any balance of such Proceeds
remaining after the Secured Obligations have been paid and performed in full
shall be paid over to each Grantor or to whomsoever may lawfully be entitled to
receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
Section 9.5 POSSESSION OF COLLATERAL.
(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and upon
direction from the Trustee:
(i) the Collateral Trustee may personally or by agents or
attorneys, immediately take possession of the Collateral (including taking
possession of the originals of all or any Receivables or Receivables
Records and exercising exclusive Control of the Deposit Accounts) or any
part thereof, from a Grantor or any other Person who then has possession of
any part thereof, with or without notice or judicial process and for that
purpose may enter upon such Grantor's premises where any of the Collateral
is located and remove the same and, the Collateral Trustee may use in
connection with such removal, any and all services, supplies, aids and
other facilities of such Grantor; and
(ii) upon five (5) Business Days notice to each Grantor,
such Grantor shall, at its own expense, assemble the Collateral, including,
without limitation, the originals of all Receivables Records (or from time
to time any portion thereof) and make it available to the Collateral
Trustee at any place or places designated by the Collateral Trustee which
is reasonably convenient to both parties, whether at such Grantor's or the
Collateral Trustee's premises or elsewhere. Each Grantor shall, at its sole
expense, store and keep any Collateral so assembled at such place or places
pending further action by the Collateral Trustee and while the Collateral
shall be so stored and kept, provide such guards and maintenance services
as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain the
Collateral in good condition. Such Grantor's obligation so to assemble and
deliver the Collateral is of the essence of this Agreement and,
accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the
Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific
performance by such Grantor of said obligation.
(b) When Collateral is in the Collateral Trustee's possession the
risk of accidental loss or damage shall be on the Grantors to the extent of any
deficiency in any effective insurance coverage maintained by the Grantors.
Section 9.6 DISPOSITION OF THE COLLATERAL. If an Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing and upon direction from the Trustee, the Collateral
Trustee may sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or non-exclusive
basis) give an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of the
Collateral (or contract to do any of the foregoing) under one or more contracts
or as an entirety and without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale
the property to be sold, at public or private sale or sales, conducted by any
officer, nominee or agent of, or auctioneer or attorney for, the Collateral
Trustee at any location of any third party conducting or otherwise involved in
such sale or any office of the Collateral Trustee or elsewhere and in general,
in such manner, at such time or times and upon such terms and conditions and at
such prices as it may consider commercially reasonable in its sole discretion,
for cash or on credit or
21
for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Any of the Collateral
may be sold, leased, assigned or options or contracts entered to do so or
otherwise disposed of, in the condition in which the same existed when taken by
the Collateral Trustee or after any overhaul or repair which the Collateral
Trustee shall determine to be commercially reasonable in its sole discretion. To
the extent permitted by applicable law, the Collateral Trustee or the Trustee
may bid for and become the purchaser of the Collateral or any item thereof,
offered for sale in accordance with this Section 9.6 without accountability to a
Grantor (except to the extent of surplus money received) as provided below. In
the payment of the purchase price of the Collateral, the purchaser shall be
entitled to have credit on account of the purchase price thereof of amounts
owing to such purchaser on account of any of the Secured Obligations and any
such purchaser may deliver securities, notes, claims for interest or claims for
other payment with respect to such Secured Obligations in lieu of cash up to the
amount which would, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be
payable thereon. Such securities or notes, if the amount payable hereunder shall
be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the holder thereof
after being appropriately stamped to show partial payment.
Section 9.7 RECOURSE. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency
if the Proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are
insufficient to satisfy the Secured Obligations. Each Grantor shall also be
liable for all expenses of the Collateral Trustee incurred in connection with
collecting such deficiency including, without limitation, the fees and
disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Trustee to collect
such deficiency.
Section 9.8 EXPENSES; ATTORNEYS' FEES. Each Grantor shall reimburse the
Collateral Trustee for all its reasonable third party expenses in connection
with the exercise of its rights hereunder, including, without limitation, all
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred by the Collateral Trustee
and all other reasonable third party expenses and fees in connection with
obtaining, taking possession of, removing, holding, insuring, repairing,
preparing for sale or lease, storing and disposing of Collateral. The Proceeds
of any disposition of Collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section
9.04 of the Indenture.
Section 9.9 LIMITATION ON DUTIES REGARDING PRESERVATION OF COLLATERAL.
(a) The Collateral Trustee's sole duty with respect to the
custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its
possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with
it in the same manner as the Collateral Trustee deals with similar property for
its own account. Neither the Collateral Trustee, any Holder nor any of their
respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure
to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in
doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any
Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other person or to take any
other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The
powers conferred on the Collateral Trustee and the Holders hereunder are solely
to protect the Collateral Trustee's and the Holders' interests in the Collateral
and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Trustee or any Holder to
exercise any such powers. The Collateral Trustee and any Holder shall be
accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the
exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors,
employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure
to act hereunder, except for its own negligence or willful misconduct. Except
for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the
22
accounting for monies actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Trustee
shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action
with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other
matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Trustee has or
is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any
necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights
pertaining to any reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any
Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially equal to that which the Collateral Trustee accords its own
property. Except as provided in this Section 9.9(a), the Collateral Trustee
shall not have any duty or liability to protect or preserve any Collateral or to
preserve rights pertaining thereto. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Trustee or the Holders, and
neither the Collateral Trustee nor the Holders shall be required or obligated,
to (i) present or file any claim or notice or take any action with respect to
any Collateral or in connection therewith or (ii) notify any Grantor of any
decline in the value of any Collateral. The Collateral Trustee shall have no
duty as to the collection of any Collateral in its possession or control or in
the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Collateral Trustee, or
any income thereon or any other rights pertaining thereto.
(b) The Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation to take any
steps to preserve rights against prior parties to any Collateral.
(c) Neither the Collateral Trustee nor any of its directors,
officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or
realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or
shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral
upon the request of a Grantor or otherwise.
(d) The Collateral Trustee shall not be responsible for perfecting
or maintaining the perfection of any security interest granted to it under this
Agreement or for filing, refiling, recording or re-recording any document,
financing statement, notice or instrument in any public office at any time or
times and shall not be responsible for seeing to the provision of insurance on
or the payment of any taxes with respect to any property subject to this
Agreement.
(e) No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to impose any
duty or obligation on the Collateral Trustee to perform any act or acts, receive
or obtain any interest in property or exercise any interest in property, or
exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it in any
jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or in which the Collateral Trustee
shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to
perform any such act or acts, to receive or obtain any such interest in property
or to exercise any such right, power, duty or obligation; and no permissive or
discretionary power or authority available to the Collateral Trustee shall be
construed to be a duty.
Section 9.10 WAIVER OF CLAIMS. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, NOTICE AND JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE'S
TAKING POSSESSION OR THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE'S DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE
COLLATERAL, and such Grantor hereby further waives, to the extent permitted by
law:
23
(a) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession except any
damages which are the direct result of the Collateral Trustee's negligence
or willful misconduct;
(b) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale
or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral
Trustee's rights hereunder;
(c) demand of performance or other demand, notice of intent to
demand or accelerate, notice of presentment, notice of acceleration, notice
of intent to accelerate, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind
(other than a notice of a Default) to or upon such Grantor or any other
Person; and
(d) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, diligence,
stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any
applicable law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this
Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof and
such Grantor, for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or
they now or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such
laws.
Section 9.11 DISCONTINUANCE OF PROCEEDINGS. In case the Collateral Trustee
shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under
this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding
shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been
determined adversely to the Collateral Trustee, then and in every such case each
Grantor and the Collateral Trustee shall be returned to their former positions
and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral subject to the Security
Interest created under this Agreement, and all rights, remedies and powers of
the Collateral Trustee shall continue as if no such proceeding had been
instituted.
Section 9.12 RESTORATION OF POSITIONS. If the Collateral Trustee or any
Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this
Agreement by foreclosure, entry or otherwise and such proceeding has been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the
Collateral Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Grantors,
the Collateral Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in
such proceeding, be restored to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter
all rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee and the Holders shall continue
as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
Section 9.13 INSTRUCTION FROM TRUSTEE. Whenever in the administration of
this Agreement, the Collateral Trustee shall deem it desirable to receive
instructions with respect to exercising or enforcing any right or remedy
hereunder or taking any other action hereunder, the Collateral Trustee (a) may
request instructions from the Trustee, (b) may refrain from exercising or
enforcing any such right or remedy or taking any such other action until such
instructions are received, and (c) shall be fully protected in acting in
accordance with such instructions.

"INDEMNITEE" and collectively as "INDEMNITEES") harmless from any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (including reasonable

which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnitees
in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the documents
executed in connection herewith or in any other way connected with the
administration of the transactions contemplated hereby or the enforcement of any
of the terms of or the preservation of any rights hereunder or in any way
relating to or arising out of the manufacture, ownership, ordering, purchase,
delivery, control, acceptance, lease, financing, possession, operation,
condition, sale, return or other disposition or use of the Collateral
(including, without limitation, latent or other defects, whether or not
discoverable), the violation of the applicable laws of any country, state or
other governmental body or unit, any tort (including, without limitation, claims
arising or imposed under the doctrine of strict liability, or for or on account
of injury to or the death of any Person (including any Indemnitee), or for
property damage) or any contract claim; provided that no Indemnitee shall be
indemnified pursuant to this Section 10.1 for expenses to the extent caused by
or attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. Each
Grantor agrees that upon written notice by any Indemnitee of any assertion that
could give rise to an expense, such Grantor shall assume full responsibility for
the defense thereof. Each Indemnitee agrees to use commercially reasonable
efforts to promptly notify such Grantor of any such assertion of which such
Indemnitee has knowledge.
(b) Without limiting the application of Section 10.1(a) hereof,
each Grantor agrees to pay, or reimburse the Collateral Trustee for, any and all
reasonable third party fees, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature

respect to the Collateral and all other fees, costs and expenses in connection
with protecting, maintaining or preserving the Collateral and the Collateral
Trustee's interest therein, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise,
or in defending or prosecuting any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of
or relating to the Collateral.
(c) Without limiting the application of Section 10.1(a) or (b)
hereof, each Grantor agrees to pay, indemnify and hold each Indemnitee harmless
from and against any expenses which such Indemnitee may suffer, expend or incur
in consequence of or growing out
25
of any material misrepresentation by such Grantor in this Agreement or in any
statement or writing contemplated by or made or delivered pursuant to or in
connection with this Agreement.
(d) If and to the extent that the obligations of a Grantor under

obligations that is permissible under applicable law.

not theretofore been disposed of, applied or released PROVIDED, HOWEVER, if no
default or Event of Default exists, the Company and each Grantor's Accounts will
be automatically released from the Lien at such time as the Company has paid
five million dollars ($5,000,000) of the principal amount of the Series A Notes

direction of the Trustee and at the expense of the Grantors, the Collateral

instituted in any federal or state court located in the City of New York, (ii)
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or

Company agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all
documents and instruments, that may be necessary to continue such appointment in
full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent
and written notice of such service to the Company or a Grantor shall be deemed,
in every respect, effective service of process upon the Company or such Grantor,
as applicable.
(b) To the extent that any of the Company and the Grantors have
or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal
action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or
any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment in aid or otherwise)
with respect to itself or any of its property, the Company and the
29
Grantors hereby irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim such immunity
in respect of their respective obligations under this Agreement.

shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or
refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking action
(including without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), in
each case in accordance with this Agreement and the Indenture. The Collateral
Trustee may resign and a successor Collateral Trustee may be appointed in the
manner provided in the Indenture. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the
Collateral Trustee by a successor Collateral Trustee, such successor Collateral
Trustee shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Trustee under this
Agreement, and the retiring Collateral Trustee shall thereupon be discharged
from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring
Collateral Trustee's resignation, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure

ANNEX II
ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT dated as of _________, 2002, among _____________ (the "COMPANY"),
and Bank of New York, as collateral trustee (the "COLLATERAL TRUSTEE"), and
[name of bank holding the account] (the "INTERMEDIARY").
Intermediary represents and warrants to the Collateral Trustee that
Intermediary maintains Account No. ________ in the name of the Company (the
"ACCOUNT"). The parties hereto refer to the Account and hereby agree as follows:
1. The Company and the Collateral Trustee notify Intermediary that by
separate security agreement between the Company and the Collateral Trustee dated
as of _______,__ 2002 (the "SECURITY AGREEMENT") the Company has granted the
Collateral Trustee a security interest in the Account and any and all money,
instruments and other property from time to time deposited therein or credited
thereto, including all interest accruing thereon (collectively, "ITEMS").
Intermediary acknowledges that, as of the date hereof, it has not received
notice of any restraint, security interest, lien or other adverse claim in or to
the Account or any item therein.
2. The respective rights and duties of the Collateral Trustee, the
Company and the Intermediary regarding control of the Account shall be as
follows:
(a) The Intermediary shall comply with any instructions originated
by the Collateral Trustee directing disposition of the items in the Account
without further consent by the Company.
(b) The Intermediary may rely on a written notice from the
Collateral Trustee (an "ACCELERATION CERTIFICATION") that an Event of Default as
defined in the Security Agreement has occurred and is continuing. The
Acceleration Certification shall state an effective date (which shall be no
earlier than the date it is delivered to the Intermediary) and may include a
demand that the Intermediary thereafter recognize the exclusive control by the
Collateral Trustee over the Account (including all items then held in the
Account), plus any and all items or amounts subsequently deposited or
transferred into the Account. The Collateral Trustee shall simultaneously
provide a copy of the Acceleration Certification to the Company by notice in
accordance with Section 6 hereof.
(c) Upon receipt of the Acceleration Certification, the
Intermediary shall follow all instructions of the Collateral Trustee regarding
the Account, and shall not allow withdrawals from or transfers out of the
Account by or at the direction of the Company, whether by check, draft, written
or other instruction, or other device or instrument.
(d) The Intermediary is authorized and shall be directed to accept
the Acceleration Certification from Collateral Trustee without obligation to
independently verify the correctness thereof.
II-1
(e) Until such time as the Intermediary has received an
Acceleration Certification from the Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Trustee
hereby agrees and consents that the Company shall be entitled to withdraw or
receive items from the Account as it may elect, and that the Intermediary shall
have no liability to Collateral Trustee for having released such items to, or
upon the direction of, the Company prior to the receipt by the Intermediary of
an Acceleration Certification in accordance with this Section 2.
(f) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the
Intermediary shall have no responsibility or liability to any party for
determining or verifying the occurrence of any event or circumstance or the
satisfaction of any condition giving rise to any order or other direction of or
by the Collateral Trustee. The parties hereto acknowledge that, notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Intermediary shall have no
responsibility or liability for monitoring or determining compliance by any
party with the provisions of the Security Agreement or any other agreement
between the Company and the Collateral Trustee and to which the Intermediary is
not a party.
(g) Intermediary shall send copies of all statements and
confirmations for the Account to the Collateral Trustee and the Company.
Intermediary will use reasonable efforts promptly to notify the Collateral
Trustee and the Company if any other person claims that it has a property
interest in property in the Account and that it is a violation of that person's
rights for anyone else to hold, transfer or deal with the property.
3. Intermediary (a) waives, releases and agrees not to assert, exercise
or claim any lien, encumbrance, right (including setoff rights) or other claim
against the Account or any cash balance, funds or other item therein, and (b)
shall neither advance margin or other credit against the Account, nor
hypothecate any items carried in the Account, without the prior written consent
of the Collateral Trustee. Intermediary shall not agree with any other person or
entity that it will comply with any withdrawal, delivery, transfer, payment and
redemption instructions, or any other entitlement or other orders, from such
person or entity concerning the Account or any items therein without the prior
written consent of the Collateral Trustee and any such agreement entered into
without such consent shall be null and void.
4. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, (i)
Intermediary shall have only the duties and responsibilities expressly set forth
in writing herein, (ii) Intermediary shall be fully protected in acting or
refraining from acting in good faith on any written notice, instruction or
request purportedly furnished to it by the Collateral Trustee in accordance with
the terms hereof, in which case the parties hereto agree that Intermediary has
no duty to make any further inquiry whatsoever, (iii) Intermediary shall not be
liable to any party hereto or any other person for any action or failure to act
under or in connection with this Agreement except for its own willful misconduct
or gross negligence (and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, shall under no
circumstances be liable for indirect, special, punitive or consequential
damages) and (iv) the Company hereby indemnifies Intermediary for, and holds
Intermediary harmless against, any loss, cost, liability or expense (including
reasonable inside or outside counsel fees and disbursements) incurred or
suffered by Intermediary arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or
the Account, except as may result from its willful misconduct or gross
negligence.
II-2
5. Intermediary may terminate this Agreement upon the sending of at least
thirty (30) days' advance written notice to the other parties hereto. Any other
termination or any amendment or waiver of this Agreement shall be effected

Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the
right to object, with respect to such Proceedings that such court does not have
jurisdiction over such party. Nothing in this Agreement precludes a party from
bringing Proceedings in any other jurisdiction nor will the bringing of
Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of
Proceedings in any other jurisdiction. Each party hereby irrevocably waives any
and all right to trial by jury in any Proceedings.
9. To the extent a provision of this Agreement is unenforceable, this
Agreement will be construed as if the unenforceable provision were omitted.
10. Intermediary and the Collateral Trustee agree that the individuals

obligations under the Security Agreement between the Collateral Trustee and the
Company will succeed to the Collateral Trustee's rights and obligations under
this Agreement.
