Gentlemen:
From time to time we have in our possession certain inventory (the "Inventory")
of Pico Macom, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the "Debtor") which is in our
possession for the purpose of processing, performing work on, or adding
accessories or accessions to such Inventory at our place of business at the
Ponds Industrial Site in St. Kitts (the "Premises").
We understand that pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement dated as of May 25,
1994, as amended by and between the Debtor and Marine Midland Business Loans,
Inc. (the "Lender") and related documents (collectively the "Transaction
Documents"), the Lender has agreed in accordance with the terms specified
therein, to extend credit to the Debtor based, in part, on the value of the
Inventory. We further understand that such extensions of credit are secured by,
among other things, a security interest granted by the Debtor to the Lender in
all of the Debtor's now owned or hereafter acquired Inventory, including without
limitation, the Inventory.
In consideration of our business relationship with the Debtor and in order to
induce the Lender to extend credit to the Debtor from time to time based, in
part, upon the value of the Inventory, we agree, intending to be legally bound
hereby, as follows (this "Agreement"):
1. We hereby acknowledge notice of the Lender's security interest in the
Inventory.

2. While the Inventory is in our possession, we will identify the
Inventory in a manner satisfactory to be Lender as property of the
Debtor.
3. We hereby acknowledge and agree that any lien claim or security
interest which we now have or may at any time hereafter acquire
(whether arising under applicable law by contract with the Debtor or
otherwise) in, to or against Inventory in our possession at the
Premises or in the possession of our agents shall be junior and
subordinate to the Lender's security interest in such Inventory,
notwithstanding priorities which might otherwise exist under
applicable law.
4. As long as this Agreement is in effect, we will not foreclose upon,
levy execution upon, attach or otherwise realize upon any security
interest in, lien upon, or claim to any of the Inventory.
5. We shall permit the Lender or its agents to enter upon the Premises
during normal business hours to inspect or remove any of the
Inventory. After the occurrence of an "Event of Default" as defined
in the Transaction Documents, and upon the oral or written direction
of the Lender, we shall refuse to release the Inventory to the Debtor
or any party other than the Lender or the party designated by the
Lender in such oral or written direction.
6. By its signature below, the Debtor agrees that we shall have no
liability to the Debtor whatsoever by reason of our surrender of
possession of Inventory to the Lender at the Lender's oral or written
direction.
7. We agree that this agreement shall bind us and our successors and
assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Lender and its successors and assigns.

8. This Agreement shall be a continuing agreement and shall remain in
full force and effect until all liabilities and obligations of the
Debtor to the Lender of every kind and description have been paid and
discharged in full and all Transaction Documents have been terminate.
This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented in any manner, other
than by a writing signed by us, the Lender, and the Debtor.
Very truly yours,
PICO (ST. KITTS) LTD.
