Investment of Borrower that the Collateral has been assigned to Agent or that
Agent has a security interest therein, or (b) collect the Collateral directly
and charge the reasonable collection costs and expenses to the Loan Account. 
Borrower agrees that, at any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, it will hold in trust for Agent, as Agent’s
trustee, any Collections that it receives and promptly will deliver said
Collections to Agent in their original form as received by Borrower.

 

2.4.                            Filing of Financing Statements; Commercial Tort
Claims; Delivery of Additional Documentation Required.

(c)          Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent, any and all financing
statements, original financing statements in lieu of continuation statements,

hereafter arising or acquired, tangible or intangible), and in order to fully
consummate all of the transactions contemplated hereby and under the other Loan
Documents.

 

2.5.                            Power of Attorney.   Borrower hereby irrevocably
makes, constitutes, and appoints Agent (and any of Agent’s officers, employees,

any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, endorse
Borrower’s name on any Collection item that may come into Agent’s possession;
and (c) at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
settle and adjust disputes and claims respecting the Collateral directly with
Account Debtors, for amounts and upon terms which Agent reasonably determines to
be reasonable, and Agent may cause to be executed and delivered any documents
and releases which Agent reasonably determines to be necessary.  The appointment
of Agent as Borrower’s attorney, and each and every one of Agent’s rights and
powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until, and shall
terminate when, all of the Secured Obligations have been paid in full and
performed.

 

2.6.                            Right to Inspect.   Agent and its officers,
employees, or agents shall have the right, upon reasonable notice to Borrower,

appraise the Collateral in order to verify Borrower’s financial condition or the
amount, quality, value, condition of, or any other matter relating to, the
Collateral; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, in no event shall Agent conduct more than one appraisal of
the Collateral during any fiscal year of Borrower.

 

2.7.                            Control.   If an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, Borrower agrees that it will not transfer assets out of the
Collateral Account; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, Borrower may transfer, use
and distribute its assets (and the proceeds thereof) that are in the Collateral
Account to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or
the other Loan Documents.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, Agent may liquidate the Collateral Account and remit the

3.2                               Other Representations and Warranties. 
Borrower represents and warrants that when the UCC financing statements in
appropriate form are filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, the Liens

Liens expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, to the extent that a
security interest therein may be perfected by filing pursuant to the UCC,
assuming the proper filing and indexing thereof.

and remedies available to Agent as provided hereafter, Agent may, at its

of the following with respect to the Collateral (to the fullest extent permitted
by law), all of which are authorized by Borrower:

 

(a)         [Intentionally omitted.]

 

(b)         Without notice to Borrower and regardless of the acceptance of any

payment of the Secured Obligations any Collateral consisting of moneys, credits
or other property belonging to Borrower at any time held by or coming into the

(c)          Exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights
and remedies provided for herein, in the Credit Agreement or otherwise available
to it, all the rights and remedies available to it at law (including those of a
secured party under the Code) or in equity;

 

(d)         Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors
for amounts and upon terms which Agent reasonably considers advisable, and in
such cases, Agent will credit the Loan Account with only the net amounts
received by Agent in payment of such disputed Accounts after deducting all
out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred or expended in connection
therewith;

 

(e)          Without notice or demand upon Borrower, make such payments and do
such acts as Agent considers reasonably necessary or reasonable to protect its
security interest in the Collateral.  Borrower agrees to make available to Agent
or provide Agent access to any books and records related to the Collateral if
Agent so requires;

 

(f)           Without notice to Borrower (such notice being expressly waived),
and without constituting an acceptance of any collateral in full or partial
satisfaction of an obligation (within the meaning of the Code), set off and
apply to the Secured Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of
Borrower held by Agent, or (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the

Secured Obligations;

 

(h)         [Intentionally Omitted.]

 

(i)             Sell all or any part of the Collateral at either a public or
private sale, or both, by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash

limiting the generality of the foregoing) actions in

 

7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

accordance with Section 9-610 through 9-613 of the Code shall be deemed to be
commercially reasonable).  It is not necessary that the Collateral be present at
any such sale;

 

(j)            Agent shall give notice of the disposition of the Collateral as
follows:

 

(i)                                     Agent shall give Borrower a notice in
writing of the time and place of public sale, or, if the sale is a private sale
or some other disposition other than a public sale is to be made of the
Collateral, then the time on or after which the private sale or other
disposition is to be made; and

 

(ii)                                  The notice shall be personally delivered
or mailed, postage prepaid, to Borrower as provided in Section 9, at least ten
(10) days before the earliest time of disposition set forth in the notice; no
notice needs to be given prior to the disposition of any portion of the

remedies under this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents shall be
cumulative.  Agent shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent
herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity.  No exercise by Agent
of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Agent of
any Event of Default on Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver.  No
delay by Agent shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.

 

7.                                      TAXES AND EXPENSES REGARDING THE
COLLATERAL.

 

If Borrower fails to pay any monies (whether taxes, rents, assessments,
insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased properties or assets, rents or
other amounts payable under such leases) due to third Persons, or fails to make
any deposits or furnish any required proof of payment or deposit (in each case,
to the extent (I) required under the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and (II) so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, such claims of such
third parties are not subject to a

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Permitted Protest) then, Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, may request
Borrower to pay any of such monies, make such deposits or furnish such required
proof, and if Borrower shall fail to take such actions (other than pursuant to a
Permitted Protest), Agent may, in its Permitted Discretion, do any or all of the
following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof or  (b) set up such
reserves in the Loan Account as Agent in its Permitted Discretion deems
necessary to protect Agent from the exposure created by such failure.  Any such
payments or deposits by Agent shall immediately become additional Secured
Obligations, shall bear interest at the applicable rate described in the Credit
Agreement, and shall be secured by the Collateral.  Any payments made by Agent
shall not constitute an agreement by Agent to make similar payments in the
future or a waiver by the Agent, of any Event of Default under this Agreement. 
Agent need not inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax,
security interest, encumbrance, or lien and the receipt of the usual official
notice for the payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that the same was
validly due and owing.

 

8.                                      WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION.

 

8.1.                            Demand; Protest; etc.   Borrower waives demand,

paper, and guarantees at any time held by Agent, on which Borrower may in any
way be liable.

 

8.2.                            Agent’s Liability for Collateral.   So long as
Agent complies with its obligations under the Code and the express terms hereof,
Agent shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for:  (a) the
safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or
arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value
thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee,
forwarding agency, or other Person.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Agent shall be deemed to have complied with its obligations under the
Code if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which
the Agent accords its own property.  All risk of loss, damage, or destruction of
the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.

 

8.3.                            Expenses.  Irrespective of whether the
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are consummated, Borrower agrees
to pay on demand any and all Lender Group Expenses in accordance with the terms
of the Credit Agreement.

 

8.4.                            Indemnity.  In addition to the payment of
expenses pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof, and irrespective of whether the
transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Borrower agrees to indemnify,
exonerate, defend, pay, and hold harmless the Agent-Related Persons and the
Lender-Related Persons (collectively the “Indemnitees” and individually as
“Indemnitee”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, costs,
expenses, and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, the
reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one counsel for such
Indemnitees in connection with any investigation, administrative, or judicial
proceeding, whether such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto), that
may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Indemnitee, in any
manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents,
the use or

intended use of the proceeds of the Loans or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents,
including any matter relating to or arising out of the filing or recordation of
any of the Loan Documents which filing or recordation is done based upon
information supplied by Borrower to Agent and its counsel (the “Indemnified
Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation
hereunder to any Indemnitee to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities are
found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to
have resulted from the gross negligence, fraud  or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee or the violation of the express terms of this Agreement by such
Indemnitee.  Each Indemnitee will promptly notify Borrower of each event of
which it has knowledge which may give rise to a claim under the indemnification
provisions of this Section 8.4.  To the extent that the undertaking to
indemnify, pay, and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be
unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Borrower
shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of
the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable law.  The
obligations of Borrower under this Section 8.4 shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and the discharge of Borrower’s other obligations hereunder.

 

9.                                 NOTICES.   All notices and other
communications hereunder to Agent or Borrower shall be in writing and shall be
mailed, sent or delivered in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

BY THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY ACT, OMISSION, OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION
HEREWITH, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES REFERENCED ABOVE IN THIS SECTION 10.5  HEREBY

11.                               GENERAL PROVISIONS.

 

11.1.       Effectiveness.   This Agreement shall be binding and deemed
effective when executed by Borrower and accepted and executed by Agent.

 

11.2.       Successors and Assigns.   This Agreement shall bind and inure to the
benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the
parties; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any
rights or duties hereunder without Agent’s prior written consent and any
prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void.  No consent to an assignment by
Agent shall release Borrower from its Secured Obligations.  Agent may assign
this Agreement and its rights and duties hereunder pursuant to the Credit
Agreement and no consent or approval by Borrower is required in connection with
any such assignment except as required by the Credit Agreement.  To the extent
that Agent assigns its rights and obligations to a third Person, Agent
thereafter shall be released from such assigned obligations to Borrower and such
assignment shall effect a novation between Borrower and such third Person.

 

11.3.       Section Headings.   Headings and numbers have been set forth herein
for convenience only.  Unless the contrary is compelled by the context,
everything contained in each section applies equally to this entire Agreement.

 

11.4.       Interpretation.   Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or
ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against Agent or Borrower,
whether under any rule of construction or otherwise.  On the contrary, this
Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and
interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly
accomplish the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

 

11.5.       Severability of Provisions.   Each provision of this Agreement shall
be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of
determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

 

11.6.       Amendments in Writing.   This Agreement can only be amended by a
writing signed by Agent and Borrower.

 

11.7.       Counterparts; Telefacsimile Execution.   This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate
counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be
an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and
the same Agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by
telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as
effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile
or other electronic

 

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of
this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall
not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement.

 

11.8.       Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations.   If the incurrence or
payment of the Secured Obligations by Borrower or the transfer by Borrower to
Agent or any Lender of any property of Borrower should for any reason
subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law
relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code
relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, and other voidable or
recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (collectively, a
“Voidable Transfer”), and if Agent or any Lender is required to repay or
restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so
upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable
Transfer, or the amount thereof that Agent or any Lender is required or elects
to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys’
fees of Agent and the Lenders related thereto, the liability of Borrower
automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as
though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.

 

11.9.       Continuing Security Interest.   This Agreement shall create a
continuing security interest in the Collateral, subject to Permitted Liens, and
shall: (i) remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of the
Secured Obligations; (ii) be binding upon Borrower and its successors and
assigns; and (iii) inure to the benefit of Agent and its successors,
transferees, and assigns.  Upon the payment in full of the Secured Obligations,
the security interests granted herein shall automatically terminate and all
rights to the Collateral shall revert to Borrower.  Upon any such termination,
Agent will, at Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to Borrower such
documents as such Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination.  Such documents shall be prepared by Borrower and shall be in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

 

12.          [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.]

 

13.          RELEASE OF LIENS.  Agent hereby agrees to execute Lien releases
with respect to any Collateral as may be reasonably requested by (and prepared
by) Borrower  (at the sole cost and expense of Borrower) (i) upon the
termination of the Revolver Commitments and payment in full of all Secured
Obligations, or (ii) to the extent that such Collateral constitutes property
being sold or disposed of in accordance with the provisions of the Credit
Agreement if a release is required or requested in connection therewith and if
Borrower certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Agent hereby further agrees,
upon receipt by Agent of an updated Pledged Investments Certificate delivered
pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Credit Agreement, the Investments identified
therein as a Pledged Investment shall thereafter constitute Collateral for all
purposes hereunder and any existing Pledged Investment identified in such
Pledged Investments Certificate to be released shall, and all proceeds of such
Pledged Investments shall also, be deemed automatically released from the
Agent’s Lien under the Loan Documents and shall no longer constitute Collateral
hereunder and Agent agrees to execute any release documentation reasonably
requested by Borrower in furtherance thereof at Borrower’s sole expense.
