1994, between Petrie and WP Investors, Inc. (pursuant to
which the stock of Petrie Retail, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and a former subsidiary of Petrie ("Petrie
Retail"), was sold to PS Stores), and (ii) a Cross-
Indemnification and Procedure Agreement, dated as of
December 9, 1994, between Petrie and PS Stores.
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Cash
Collateral Agreement, the 3,200,082 shares of Toys Common
Stock which Petrie had placed in the Collateral Account
since January 24, 1995 have been released to Petrie, in
exchange for which Petrie has deposited $67.5 million in
cash equivalents in the Collateral Account. The Amended
and Restated Cash Collateral Agreement was approved by
the Bankruptcy Court overseeing Petrie Retail's
bankruptcy case on December 22, 1995.
The foregoing description of the Amended and
Restated Cash Collateral Agreement is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Cash
Collateral Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto
as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Collateral prior to the maturity thereof.

Collateral securing the payment of the Obligations.

enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to
any Account Collateral.

Agreement.
SECTION 12. Collateral Agent Appointed
Attorney-in-Fact. The Seller hereby appoints the
Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full
authority in the place and stead of the Seller and in the

Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including,
without limitation, to receive, endorse and collect all
instruments made payable to the Seller representing any
interest payment, dividend, or other distribution in
respect of the Account Collateral or any part thereof and
to give full discharge for the same. The Collateral
Agent agrees promptly to notify the Seller after any such
action or execution of instruments, provided that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity
of such action or execution of instruments.
SECTION 13. Collateral Agent May Perform. If
Seller fails to perform any agreement contained herein

Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance
of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral
Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable
by the Seller under Section 16.
SECTION 14. Reasonable Care. The Collateral
Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care
in the custody and preservation of the Account Collateral
in its possession if the Account Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially equal to that which the
Collateral Agent accords its own property, and shall be
without liability for any loss, damage, cost, expense
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements),

liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in
accordance with the instructions of Buyer pursuant to
this Agreement.
SECTION 15. Remedies upon an Event of
Withdrawal. If at any time or from time to time any
Event of Withdrawal shall have occurred:

or any part thereof specified by Buyer in the
Withdrawal Notice to Buyer for application against
all or any part of the Obligations. The Collateral
Agent shall notify Seller of such withdrawal or
delivery immediately following any such payment or
delivery.
(ii) The Collateral Agent shall, at Buyer's
direction, from time to time, also exercise in
respect of the Account Collateral, in addition to
other rights and remedies provided for herein or
otherwise available to it, all the rights and
remedies of a secured party upon default under the
Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of
New York at the applicable times, all as directed by
Buyer. At Buyer's direction, the Collateral Agent
may, without notice except as specified below, sell
the Account Collateral or any part thereof in one or
more parcels at public or private sale, at any
exchange or brokers' board, at any of the Collateral
Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or
for future delivery, and, in the case of
transactions effected on the New York Stock
Exchange, irrespective of the impact any such
disposition may have on the market price of the
Account Collateral, and otherwise upon such other
terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially
reasonable. The Seller agrees that, to the extent
notice of sale shall be required by law, at least
ten days' notice to the Seller of the time and place
of any public sale or the time after which any
private sale is to be made shall constitute
reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall
not be obligated to make any sale of Account
Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been
given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public
or private sale from time to time by announcement at
the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale
may, without further notice, be made at the time and
place to which it was so adjourned. The Collateral
Agent or any of its affiliates may be the purchaser
of any or all of the Account Collateral at any
public sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall
hold the property sold absolutely free from any
claim or right on the part of the Seller, and the
Seller hereby waives (to the extent permitted by
law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal
that it now has or may at any time in the future
have under any rule of law or statute now existing
or hereafter enacted.
(iii) Any cash held by the Collateral Agent as
Account Collateral and all cash proceeds received by
the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of,
collection from, or other realization upon all or
any part of the Account Collateral may, in the
discretion of the Buyer, then or at any time
thereafter be applied in whole or in part against
all or any part of the Obligations specified in the
Withdrawal Notice.
SECTION 16. Expenses. The Seller will pay to
the Collateral Agent the amount of any and all reasonable
expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of
its counsel, which the Collateral Agent may incur in
connection with (i) the purchase or sale of Cash
Collateral Permitted Investments, (ii) the administration
of this Agreement, (iii) the custody or preservation of,
or the sale of, collection from, or other realization
upon, any of the Account Collateral, (iv) the exercise or
enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent
hereunder or (v) the failure by the Seller to perform or
observe any of the provisions hereof. Any amounts
payable to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section
16 will be payable on demand and the Collateral Agent
shall make such demand on or prior to the last Business
Day of each calendar quarter for any such amounts
incurred by the Collateral Agent prior to such date and
not yet reimbursed.
SECTION 17. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to
any departure by Seller herefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed
by the Buyer and the Collateral Agent, and then such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
SECTION 18. Nonexclusive Remedy. The remedies
herein provided are to the fullest extent permitted by
law cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies
provided by law. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing
in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit the liability
of the Seller under the Stock Purchase Agreement. The

remedies contemplated hereunder is not available to Buyer
for any reason or is insufficient to fully discharge the
Buyer's obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement.
