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

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

            (e) All Mandatory Prepayments of the New L/C Aggregate Exposure
      referenced in subsections 4.1(a) and 4.1(b) shall be applied in the
      following manner: first, to New L/C Exposure, with the amount applied to
      New L/C Exposure being applied to repay all funded amounts, if any, under
      the New L/Cs and then to cash collateralize the New L/C Exposure
      outstanding (after giving effect to the foregoing repayment) in an amount,
      taken together with all then existing cash collateral for such New L/C
      Exposure, equal to 105% of such New L/C Exposure, and, concurrently with
      any such repayment or cash collateralization of New L/C Exposure,
      effecting a permanent reduction in the New L/C Commitment by the amount of
      such repayment or cash collateralization of New L/C Exposure; second, to
      repay outstanding New Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof and to
      concurrently permanently reduce (x) the New L/C Commitments and (y) to the
      extent that any such reduction in New L/C Commitments would cause the New
      L/C Commitments to be less than the Revolver Loan Commitments then in
      effect, the Revolver Commitments by the amount of such difference; and
      third, to permanently reduce the unutilized New L/C Commitments and, to
      the extent that any reduction in New L/C Commitments would cause the New
      L/C Commitments to be less than the Revolver Loan Commitments then in
      effect, to permanently and concurrently reduce the Revolver Commitments by
      the amount of such difference.

            4.2 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF COLLATERAL, ETC.

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

      Agent as Collateral for, and/or (then or at any time thereafter) applied
      in full or in part by Collateral Agent against, the applicable


                                       26

      following order of priority:

                  (i) First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of the

      any surplus then remaining from such Proceeds.

            (b) Notwithstanding anything in subsection 4.2(a) to the contrary,
      (i) in the event that no Detroit L/C Event of Default has occurred and is
      continuing under subsection 8.1 of the Detroit L/C Facility Agreement and

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

      Management Services Reimbursement Agreement with respect to any drawing of
      any New L/C that is honored by the New L/C Issuing Lender, then such
      Management Services Agreement Beneficiaries shall apply such payment to

      its participation therein) for such honored drawing.

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

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

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

      L/C Lenders in accordance with the New L/C Facility Agreement and this
      Agreement; payments in respect of any High Yield Obligations shall be paid
      to the High Yield Trustee for the benefit of the holders of such High
      Yield Obligations; and payments in respect of the Cash Management
      Obligations shall be made to Cash Management Bank for the benefit of Cash
      Management Bank.

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


                                       28
<PAGE>
      Distribution from other assets held by such Junior Creditor; and shall
      forthwith turn over such Distribution (without liability for interest
      thereon, but with any appropriate endorsements or assignments, if
      necessary) to the holders of, or to Collateral Agent for the benefit of
      the holders of, such Secured Obligations in the form received (with any
      appropriate endorsement or assignment, if necessary) to be distributed in
      accordance with subsection 4.1 or 4.2, as applicable, and applied to such
      Secured Obligations. In the event of a failure of any Junior Creditor to
      make any such endorsement or assignment to Collateral Agent or Senior
      Creditors, as the case may be, Collateral Agent and such Senior Creditors
      are hereby irrevocably authorized on behalf of such Junior Creditor to
      make such endorsement or assignment, as applicable.

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

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

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


                                       29
<PAGE>
      all Secured Obligations owed to each of the other Secured Parties (or, if
      such Third-Party Guaranty guarantees only a portion of the Obligations
      owing to such Secured Party, such Secured Party will not accept such
      Third-Party Guaranty unless such guarantor simultaneously guarantees the
      same proportion of Secured Obligations owing to the other Secured
      Parties), and (ii) such Secured Party will not take, accept or obtain any
      security interest in, or lien or encumbrance upon, any assets of any of
      the Borrowers or any Subsidiary (including any CPIH Subsidiary) or
      Affiliate thereof or any other Person to secure the payment and
      performance of the Obligations unless the Collateral Agent, for the
      benefit of all Secured Parties, is granted a pari passu security interest
      in, or lien upon, such assets, in either case, pursuant to documents in
      form and substance satisfactory to Detroit L/C Facility Agent and New L/C
      Agent.

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

                                    SECTION V

            5.1 INFORMATION. From time to time, upon the request of Collateral
Agent, each of the following Parties agrees to promptly provide to Collateral
Agent the information described below:

            (a) Detroit L/C Facility Agent agrees promptly from time to time to
      (i) deliver to Collateral Agent a true, correct and complete copy of any
      amendment, waiver or modification of or supplement to any Detroit L/C
      Facility Documents upon execution and delivery to Detroit L/C Facility
      Agent thereof by the relevant parties thereto and (ii) notify Collateral

      other fees or expenses outstanding under the Detroit L/C Facility
      Agreement (including fees and expenses of Detroit L/C Agents) and, in each
      case, Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such
      information.

            (b) New L/C Agent agrees promptly from time to time to (i) deliver
      to Collateral Agent a true, correct and complete copy of any amendment,
      waiver or modification of or supplement to any New L/C Facility Documents
      upon execution and delivery to New L/C Facility Agent thereof by the
      relevant parties thereto and (ii) notify Collateral Agent of: (A) the
      aggregate amount of principal of and interest on the New L/C Obligations

<PAGE>
      L/C Agent) and, in each case, Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely
      conclusively upon such information.

            (c) The High Yield Trustee agrees promptly from time to time to (i)
      deliver to Collateral Agent a true, correct and complete copy of any
      amendment, waiver or modification of or supplement to any High Yield Note

      Collateral Agent of: (A) the outstanding principal amount of the High
      Yield Notes and the amount of accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and (B)
      the amount of any other fees or expenses outstanding under the High Yield
      Indenture (including fees and expenses of High Yield Trustee) at such date

      cause the registrar for the High Yield Notes to, provide a statement of
      such amount as reflected in the register maintained for such purpose by
      the High Yield Trustee or such registrar, as the case may be, and
      Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such
      statement.

                                   SECTION VI

            6.1 DISCLAIMERS, SUPPLEMENTAL COLLATERAL AGENT, INDEMNITY, ETC.

            (a) Collateral Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except
      those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Collateral Documents
      and Collateral Agent shall not by reason of this Agreement or the
      Collateral Documents be a trustee for any Secured Party or have any other
      fiduciary obligation to any Secured Party (including any obligation under
      the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended). Collateral Agent shall not
      be responsible to any Secured Party for any recitals, statements,
      representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or any other
      Credit Document or in any certificate or other document referred to or
      provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any
      Credit Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
      enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit
      Document or any other document referred to or provided for therein or any
      Lien under the Collateral Documents or the perfection or priority of any
      such Lien or for any failure by any Loan Party to perform any of its
      respective obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document.
      Collateral Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform
      such duties by or through its Affiliates, agents or employees.

            (b) Neither Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors,
      employees or agents shall be liable to any Secured Parties for any action
      taken or omitted by Collateral Agent under or in connection with this
      Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents or other Credit Documents
      except to the extent caused by Collateral Agent's gross negligence or
      willful misconduct. Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any
      act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action)
      in connection with this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents or
      other Credit Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or
      authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until Collateral
      Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Requisite
      Obligees (or such other Secured Parties as may be required to give such
      instructions under subsection 2.4(a)) and, upon receipt of such
      instructions from Requisite Obligees (or such other Secured Parties, as
      the case may be), Collateral Agent


                                       31
<PAGE>
      shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or
      to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such
      instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i)
      Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected
      in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it
      to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper
      person or persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in
      relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for
      Company and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional
      advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Secured Party shall have any right of
      action whatsoever against an Agent as a result of Collateral Agent acting
      or (where so instructed) refraining from acting under this Agreement or
      any of the other Collateral Documents or other Credit Documents in
      accordance with the instructions of Requisite Obligees (or such other
      Secured Parties as may be required to give such instructions under
      subsection 2.4(a)).

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

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

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


                                       32
<PAGE>
      such Loan Party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such
      instruments promptly upon request by Collateral Agent. In case any
      Supplemental Collateral Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become
      incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers,
      privileges and duties of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, to the extent
      permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by Collateral Agent until
      the appointment of a new Supplemental Collateral Agent.

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

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

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

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


                                       34
<PAGE>
      collection of amounts payable in respect of the Collateral. Collateral
      Agent shall incur no liability to any Secured Party as a result of any
      sale of any Collateral at any private sale.

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

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

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

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


                                       35

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

                                   SECTION VII

            7.1 MISCELLANEOUS.

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

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


                                       36
<PAGE>
      modify, terminate or waive, or have the effect of amending, modifying,
      terminating or waiving, the definition of "Requisite Obligees", (ii) no
      such amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall, without the
      consent of each Lender and Agent with Secured Obligations directly
      affected thereby, amend, modify, terminate or waive, or have the effect of
      amending, modifying, terminating or waiving (A) subsection 3.1 or 4.2 or
      this subsection 7.1(a), or (B) any other provision of this Agreement in a
      manner that would impose any additional material obligations on any Lender
      or Agent or prejudice any material rights or remedies of such Lender or
      Agent, (iii) no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any
      provision of subsection 2.1 or 2.2 or Section 5 or 6 or of any other
      provision of this Agreement which, by its terms, expressly requires the
      approval or concurrence of Collateral Agent shall be effective without the
      written concurrence of Collateral Agent; or (iv) no such amendment,
      modification, termination or waiver of this Agreement shall materially
      increase or materially adversely affect obligations of any Loan Party or
      adversely affect any rights of Loan Party under the other Credit Documents
      in each case without such loan party's prior consent; provided, further,
      that no amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall (1) reduce or
      otherwise adversely affect the right of the High Yield Trustee to request
      or direct Collateral Agent to take action on the terms set forth in
      subsection 2.1(a), or (2) subordinate in right of payment the High Yield
      Obligations, or (3) modify or otherwise alter in any manner adverse to the
      holders of the High Yield Notes the priority of such holders' Lien in the
      Collateral as provided in subsection 3.1 as in effect on the date hereof
      or the right of such holders to receive Proceeds in the amount and order
      of priority and under the circumstances described in subsections 4.1(a)
      and 4.2(a), as in effect on the date hereof. To the extent (if any) the
      provisions of this Agreement are inconsistent with the provisions set
      forth in any Facility Agreement or the High Yield Indenture in any
      particular circumstance, then the provisions set forth in this Agreement
      shall prevail to the extent necessary to eliminate or avoid such
      inconsistency in such circumstance.

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

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

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

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


                                       37
<PAGE>
      Exposure held by such Creditor Party and will, from time to time upon
      request of the Collateral Agent, deliver a list to the Collateral Agent
      (which shall be distributed by the Collateral Agent to each Creditor
      Party) setting forth, for the Detroit L/C Exposure and New L/C Aggregate
      Exposure, the unpaid principal amount (or outstanding undrawn letters of
      credit with respect thereto) and holder thereof. The Collateral Agent may
      rely on such list unless, after the distribution thereof, the Collateral
      Agent is notified by a Secured Party that such information as set forth on
      such list is inaccurate.

            (g) ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY OF THE PARTIES
      ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE
      OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND BY
      EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY
      (I) ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF, IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, GENERALLY AND
      UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS,
      (II) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, (III) AGREES THAT SERVICE
      OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY
      REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO SUCH PARTY
      HERETO AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUBSECTION 7.1(a)
      HEREOF, (IV) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (III) IS
      SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PERSON IN ANY SUCH
      PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND
      BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT, (V) AGREES THAT THE PARTIES HERETO
      RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR
      TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST SUCH PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER
      JURISDICTION, AND (VI) AGREES THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBSECTION
      7.1(g) RELATING TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE SHALL BE BINDING AND ENFORCEABLE
      TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW
      SECTION 5-1402 OR OTHERWISE.

            (h) EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS
      RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED
      UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM
      RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE INTERCREDITOR RELATIONSHIP THAT IS
      BEING ESTABLISHED. The scope of this waiver is intended to be
      all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court
      and that relate to the subject matter of this transaction, including
      contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims, and all other common
      law and statutory claims. Each party hereto acknowledges that this waiver
      is a material inducement to enter into a business relationship, that each
      has already relied on the waiver in entering into this Agreement, and that
      each will continue to rely on the waiver in their related future dealings.
      Each party hereto further warrants and represents that each has reviewed
      this waiver with its legal counsel, and that each knowingly and
      voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal
      counsel. THIS


                                       38
<PAGE>
      WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY
      OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS,
      RENEWALS, REPLACEMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT. In
      the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent
      to a trial by the court.

            (i) NO CLAIM MAY BE MADE BY ANY SECURED PARTY OR ANY OF THEIR
      RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, PARTNERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR
      ATTORNEYS AGAINST ANY OTHER SECURED PARTY OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES,
      DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR ATTORNEYS FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR
      CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES IN RESPECT OF ANY BREACH OR WRONGFUL CONDUCT
      (WHETHER THE CLAIM THEREFOR IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR DUTY IMPOSED BY
      LAW) IN CONNECTION WITH, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE
      TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED AND RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BY THIS AGREEMENT,
      OR ANY ACT, OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH; AND EACH
      SECURED PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND AGREES NOT TO SUE UPON ANY SUCH
      CLAIM FOR ANY SUCH DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT ACCRUED AND WHETHER OR NOT
      KNOWN OR SUSPECTED TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR.

            (j) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
      HEREUNDER OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE
      GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
      INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE
      GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK), WITHOUT REGARD TO
      CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE APPLICATION OF ANOTHER
      LAW.

            (k) All undertakings and agreements contained in this Agreement are
      solely for the benefit of the Secured Parties and there are no other
      Persons (other than Loan Parties to the extent expressly provided herein)
      who are intended to be benefited in any way by this Agreement. Each Loan
      Party agrees that no Secured Party shall have any liability to any of the
      Loan Parties for performing its obligations and responsibilities under
      this Agreement with respect to the other Secured Parties.
