Licenses of any Grantor in existence on the date thereof and not then listed on
such Schedules or previously so identified to the Collateral Agent.

     SECTION 4.03. Protection of Security. Each Grantor shall, at its own cost
and expense, take any and all actions necessary to defend title to the
Collateral against all Persons and to defend the Security Interest of the
Collateral Agent in the Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien not
expressly permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement.

     SECTION 4.04. Further Assurances. Each Grantor agrees, at its own expense,
to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further
instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Collateral Agent may
from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and
perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby,
including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest
and the filing of any financing statements (including fixture filings) or other
documents in connection herewith or therewith. If any amount payable under or in
connection with any of the Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any
promissory note or other instrument, such note or instrument shall be promptly
pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent, duly endorsed in a manner
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby
authorizes the Collateral Agent, with prompt

                                                                              13

notice thereof to the Grantors, to supplement this Agreement by supplementing
Schedule II, III, IV or V hereto or adding additional schedules hereto to
specifically identify any asset or item that may constitute Copyrights,
Licenses, Patents or Trademarks; provided, however, that any Grantor shall have
                                 --------  -------
the right, exercisable within 10 days after it has been notified by the
Collateral Agent of the specific identification of such Collateral, to advise
the Collateral Agent in writing of any inaccuracy of the representations and
warranties made by such Grantor hereunder with respect to such Collateral. Each
Grantor agrees that it will use its best efforts to take such action as shall be
necessary in order that all representations and warranties hereunder shall be
true and correct with respect to such Collateral within 30 days after the date
it has been notified by the Collateral Agent of the specific identification of
such Collateral.

    SECTION 4.05. Inspection and Verification. The Collateral Agent and such
Persons as the Collateral Agent may reasonably designate shall have the right,
subject to compliance with Section 5.09 of the Credit Agreement, to inspect the
Collateral, all records related thereto (and to make extracts and copies from
such records) and the premises upon which any of the Collateral is located, to
discuss the Grantors' affairs with the officers of the Grantors and their
independent accountants and to verify under reasonable procedures the validity,
amount, quality, quantity, value, condition and status of, or any other matter
relating to, the Collateral, including, in the case of Accounts or Collateral in
the possession of any third person, by contacting Account Debtors or the third
person possessing such Collateral for the purpose of making such a verification;
provided, however, that representatives of the Grantors shall be entitled to
--------  -------
participate in such discussions. The Collateral Agent shall have the absolute
right to share any information it gains from such inspection or verification
with any Secured Party.

     SECTION 4.06. Taxes; Encumbrances. At its option and after notice to the
applicable Grantor, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes,
assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at
any time levied or placed on the Collateral and not permitted pursuant to
Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and
preservation of the Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as
required by the Credit Agreement or this Agreement, and each Grantor jointly and
severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any payment
made or any expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing
authorization; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.06 shall be
               --------  -------
interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any


<PAGE>

                                                                              14

obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any
covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments,
charges, fees, liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance
as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.

     SECTION 4.07. Assignment of Security Interest. If at any time any Grantor
shall take a security interest in any property of an Account Debtor or any other
Person to secure payment and performance of an Account, such Grantor shall
promptly assign such security interest to the Collateral Agent. Such assignment
need not be filed of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected
status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the
Account Debtor or other Person granting the security interest.

     SECTION 4.08. Continuing Obligations of the Grantors. Each Grantor shall
remain liable to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be
observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument
relating to the Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions
thereof, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties from and against any and
all liability for such performance.

     SECTION 4.09. Use and Disposition of Collateral. None of the Grantors shall
make or permit to be made an assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the
Collateral or shall grant any other Lien in respect of the Collateral, except as
expressly permitted by Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement. None of the
Grantors shall make or permit to be made any transfer of the Collateral and each
Grantor shall remain at all times in possession of the Collateral owned by it,
except that (a) Inventory, obsolete or worn out assets, Permitted Investments
and other assets having a fair market value (alone or together with other
related assets sold or to be sold) of less than $25,000 may be sold, in each
case in the ordinary course of business and (b) unless and until the Collateral
Agent shall notify the Grantors that an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing and that during the continuance thereof the Grantors shall not
sell, convey, lease, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Collateral
(which notice may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing), the
Grantors may use and dispose of the Collateral in any lawful manner not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any
other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Grantor agrees that it shall not permit any

                                                                              15

Inventory to be in the possession or control of any warehouseman, bailee, agent
or processor at any time unless such warehouseman, bailee, agent or processor
shall have been notified of the Security Interest and shall have agreed in
writing to hold the Inventory subject to the Security Interest and the
instructions of the Collateral Agent and to waive and release any Lien held by
it with respect to such Inventory, whether arising by operation of law or
otherwise.

     SECTION 4.10. Limitation on Modification of Accounts. None of the Grantors
will, without the Collateral Agent's prior written consent, grant any extension
of the time of payment of any of the Accounts included in the Collateral,
compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof,
release, wholly or partly, any Person liable for the payment thereof or allow
any credit or discount whatsoever thereon, other than extensions, credits,
discounts, compromises or settlements granted or made in the ordinary course of
business and consistent with its current practices and in accordance with such
prudent and standard practices used in industries that are the same as or
similar to those in which such Grantor is engaged.

     SECTION 4.11. Insurance. The Grantors, at their own expense, shall maintain
or cause to be maintained insurance covering physical loss or damage to the
Inventory and Equipment in accordance with Section 5.07 of the Credit Agreement.
Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent
(and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as
such Grantor's true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose,
during the continuance of an Event of Default, of making, settling and adjusting
claims in respect of Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name
of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the
proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and
decisions with respect thereto. In the event that any Grantor at any time or
times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required
hereby or to pay any premium in whole or part relating thereto, the Collateral
Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the
Grantors hereunder or any Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and
maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other
actions with respect thereto as the Collateral Agent deems advisable. All sums
disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Section 4.11,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, expenses and other charges
relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Grantors to the
Collateral Agent and shall be additional Obligations secured hereby.

     SECTION 4.12. Legend. Each Grantor shall legend, in form and manner
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, its Chattel Paper and its books, records
and documents evidencing or pertaining thereto with an appropriate reference to
the fact that such Chattel Paper have been assigned to the Collateral Agent for
the benefit of the Secured Parties and that the Collateral Agent has a security
interest therein.

     SECTION 4.13. Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright
Collateral. (a) Each Grantor agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any of
its licensees to, do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any Patent which is
material to the conduct of such Grantor's business may become invalidated or
dedicated to the public, and agrees that it shall continue to mark any products
covered by a Patent with the relevant patent number as necessary and sufficient
to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable patent laws.

     (b) Each Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or its
sublicensees) will, for each Trademark material to the conduct of such Grantor's
business, (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any claim of
abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products and
services offered under such Trademark, (iii) display such Trademark with notice
of Federal or foreign registration to the extent necessary and sufficient to
establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable law and (iv) not
knowingly use or knowingly permit the use of such Trademark in violation of any
third party rights.

     (c) Each Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will, for each work
covered by a material Copyright, continue to publish, reproduce, display, adopt
and distribute the work with appropriate copyright notice as necessary and
sufficient to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable
copyright laws.

     (d) Each Grantor shall notify the Collateral Agent immediately if it knows
or has reason to know that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the
conduct of its business may become abandoned, lost or dedicated to the public,
or of any adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or
any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States
Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any court or
similar office of any country) regarding such Grantor's ownership of any Patent,
Trademark or Copyright, its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain
the same.

     (e) In no event shall any Grantor, either itself or through any agent,
employee, licensee or designee, file an

<PAGE>

                                                                              17

application for any Patent, Trademark or Copyright (or for the registration of
any Trademark or Copyright) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office,
United States Copyright Office or any office or agency in any political
subdivision of the United States or in any other country or any political
subdivision thereof, unless it promptly informs the Collateral Agent, and, upon
request of the Collateral Agent, executes and delivers any and all agreements,
instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may request to
evidence the Collateral Agent's security interest in such Patent, Trademark or
Copyright, and each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as its
attorney-in-fact to execute and file such writings for the foregoing purposes,
all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; such power, being
coupled with an interest, is irrevocable.

         (f) Each Grantor will take all necessary steps that are consistent with
the practice in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark
Office, United States Copyright Office or any office or agency in any political
subdivision of the United States or in any other country or any political
subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue each material application relating
to the Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights (and to obtain the relevant grant
or registration) and to maintain each issued Patent and each registration of the
Trademarks and Copyrights that is material to the conduct of any Grantor's
business, including timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of
use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees, and, if
consistent with good business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and
cancelation proceedings against third parties.

         (g) In the event that any Grantor has reason to believe that any
Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the
conduct of any Grantor's business has been or is about to be infringed,
misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor promptly shall notify
the Collateral Agent and shall, if consistent with good business judgment,
promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any
and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and take
such other actions as are appropriate under the circumstances to protect such
Collateral.

         (h) Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each
Grantor shall use its best efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals
by the licensor of each Copyright License, Patent License or Trademark License
to effect the assignment of all of such Grantor's right, title

<PAGE>

                                                                              18

and interest thereunder to the Collateral Agent or its designee.

         (i) Each Grantor shall ensure that fully executed security agreements
in the form hereof and containing a description of all Collateral consisting of
Intellectual Property shall have been received and recorded within three months
after the execution of this Agreement with respect to United States Patents,
United States registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which United States
registration applications are pending) and United States registered Copyrights
have been delivered to the Collateral Agent for recording by the United States
Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office pursuant to
35 U.S.C. (S) 261, 15 U.S.C. (S) 1060 or 17 U.S.C. (S) 205 and the regulations
thereunder, as applicable, and otherwise as may be required pursuant to the laws
of any other necessary jurisdiction, to protect the validity of and to establish
a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent
(for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Collateral
consisting of Patents, Trademarks and registered Copyrights in which a security
interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United
States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and
possessions, or in any other necessary jurisdiction, and no further or
subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or
reregistration is necessary (other than such actions as are necessary to perfect
the Security Interest with respect to any Collateral consisting of Patents,
Trademarks and Copyrights (or registration or application for registration
thereof) acquired or developed after the date of this amendment and
restatement).

         SECTION 4.14. Other Actions. In order to further insure the attachment,
                       -------------
perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce,
the Collateral Agent's security interest in the Collateral, each Grantor agrees,
in each case at such Grantor's own expense, to take the following actions with
respect to the following Collateral:

         (a) Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper. If any Grantor shall at any
             --------------------------------------
time hold or acquire any Instruments or Tangible Chattel Paper (other than such
Instruments or Tangible Chattel Paper held in the ordinary course of such
Grantor's business and in an aggregate amount not exceeding $100,000), such
Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral
Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed
in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time specify.

<PAGE>

                                                                              19

     (b) Investment Property. If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire
         -------------------
any certificated securities (other than any such certificated securities having
an aggregate fair market value not in excess of $50,000 and held in the ordinary
course of such Grantor's business), such Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign
and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of
transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from
time to time specify. If any securities now or hereafter acquired by any Grantor
are uncertificated and are issued to such Grantor or its nominee directly by the
issuer thereof, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof
and, at the Collateral Agent's request and option, pursuant to an agreement in
form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (a) cause the
issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Collateral Agent as to such
securities, without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee, or (b)
arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the registered owner of the
securities. If any securities, whether certificated or uncertificated, or other
investment property now or hereafter acquired by any Grantor are held by such
Grantor or its nominee through a securities intermediary or commodity
intermediary, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof
and, at the Collateral Agent's request and option, pursuant to an agreement in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (i)
cause such securities intermediary or (as the case may be) commodity
intermediary to agree to comply with entitlement orders or other instructions
from the Collateral Agent to such securities intermediary as to such securities
or other investment property, or (as the case may be) to apply any value
distributed on account of any commodity contract as directed by the Collateral
Agent to such commodity intermediary, in each case without further consent of
any Grantor or such nominee, or (ii) in the case of Financial Assets or other
Investment Property held through a securities intermediary, arrange for the
Collateral Agent to become the entitlement holder with respect to such
investment property, with the Grantor being permitted, only with the consent of
the Collateral Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw or otherwise deal with such
investment property. The Collateral Agent agrees with each of the Grantors that
the Collateral Agent shall not give any such entitlement orders or instructions
or directions to any such issuer, securities intermediary or commodity
intermediary, and shall not withhold its consent to the exercise of any
withdrawal or dealing rights by any Grantor, unless an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, or, after giving effect to any such investment and
withdrawal rights would occur. The provisions of this

<PAGE>

                                                                              20

paragraph shall not apply to any financial assets credited to a securities
account for which the Collateral Agent is the securities intermediary.

     (c) Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. If any Grantor at
         -------------------------------------------------
any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic chattel paper or any
"transferable record," as that term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal
Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in (S)16 of the
Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction,
such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, at the
request of the Collateral Agent, shall take such action as the Collateral Agent
may reasonably request to vest in the Collateral Agent control under UCC
(S)9-105 of such electronic chattel paper or control under Section 201 of the
Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the
case may be, (S)16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect
in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record. The Collateral Agent agrees
with such Grantor that the Collateral Agent will arrange, pursuant to procedures
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and so long as such procedures will not
result in the Collateral Agent's loss of control, for the Grantor to make
alterations to the electronic chattel paper or transferable record permitted
under UCC (S)9-105 or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the Federal Electronic
Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or (S)16 of the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to allow without loss of
control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would
occur after taking into account any action by such Grantor with respect to such
electronic chattel paper or transferable record.

     (d) Letter-of-credit Rights. If any Grantor is at any time a beneficiary
         -----------------------
(other than in the ordinary course of its business and in respect of letters of
credit in an aggregate amount not exceeding $150,000) under a letter of credit
now or hereafter issued in favor of such Grantor, such Grantor shall promptly
notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, at the request and option of the
Collateral Agent, such Grantor shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (i) arrange
for the issuer and any confirmed of such letter of credit to consent to an
assignment to the Collateral Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under the
letter of credit or (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the
transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, with the Collateral Agent
agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of
credit are to be applied as provided in the Credit Agreement.

         (e)  Commercial Tort Claims. If any Grantor shall at any time hold or
              ----------------------
acquire a commercial tort claim for an amount exceeding $100,000, the Grantor
shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent in a writing signed by such Grantor
of the brief details thereof and grant to the Collateral Agent in such writing a
security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of
this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance satisfactory to
the Collateral Agent.

                                   Collections

              SECTION 5.01. Collection Deposit Accounts. (a) From and after the
                            ---------------------------
Effective Date, each Grantor agrees to deposit all Daily Receipts into the
Collection Deposit Accounts on a daily basis.

              (b) From and after the Effective Date, the Grantors agree to
transfer, or cause to be transferred, on each Business Day, all amounts on
deposit in any Collection Deposit Account to the Cash Concentration Account
other than amounts necessary (i) for the payment of routine bank service fees,
(ii) for change orders and (iii) to reconcile deposit balances.

              (c) Unless and until the happening of an Event of Default, the
Borrower may at any time withdraw any of the funds contained in the Cash
Concentration Account for use, subject to the provisions of the Credit
Agreement, for general corporate purposes.

              (d) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Collection
Deposit Account and the Cash Concentration Account will, without any further
action taken on the part of any Grantor or the Collateral Agent, automatically
convert into a closed account under the exclusive dominion and control of the
Collateral Agent in which funds are held subject to the rights of the Collateral
Agent hereunder. No Grantor shall thereafter have any right or power to withdraw
any funds from any Collection Deposit Account or the Cash Concentration Account
without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.

              (e) In the event that a Grantor directly receives any remittances
on Accounts included in the Collateral, notwithstanding the arrangements for
payment directly into the Collection Deposit Accounts pursuant to Section 5.02,
such remittances shall be held for the benefit of the Collateral

<PAGE>

                                                                              22

Agent and the Lenders and shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor,
subject to the Security Interest granted hereby, and such Grantor shall cause
such remittances and payments to be deposited into a Collection Deposit Account
or the Cash Concentration Account as soon as practicable after such Grantor's
receipt thereof.

              (f) All payments by any Grantor into any Cash Deposit Account or
the Cash Collateral Account pursuant to this Section 5.01, whether in the form
of cash, checks, notes, drafts, bills of exchange, money orders or otherwise, in
the relevant Cash Deposit Account or Cash Collateral Account in precisely the
form in which received (but with any endorsements of such Grantor necessary for
deposit or collection), and until they are so deposited such payments shall be
held in trust by such Grantor for and as the property of the Collateral Agent.

              SECTION 5.02. Collections. From and after the Effective Date, each
                            -----------
Grantor agrees to notify and direct promptly each Account Debtor and every other
Person obligated to make payments with respect to the Accounts included in the
Collateral to make all such payments to a Collection Deposit Account established
by it. Each Grantor shall use all reasonable efforts to cause each Account
Debtor and every other Person identified in the preceding sentence to make all
payments with respect to the Accounts included in the Collateral directly to
such Collection Deposit Account.

          (b) Without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, no
Grantor shall, in a manner adverse to the Lenders, change the general
instructions given to Account Debtors in respect of payment on Accounts to be
deposited in any Collection Deposit Account. Until the Collateral Agent shall
have advised the Grantors to the contrary, each Grantor shall, and the
Collateral Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to, enforce and collect all
amounts owing on the Inventory and Accounts included in the Collateral, for the
benefit and on behalf of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties;
provided, however, that such privilege may at the option of the Collateral Agent
--------  -------
be terminated upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default.

          SECTION 5.03. Power of Attorney. Each Grantor irrevocably makes,
constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or
agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantor's true and lawful
agent and attorney-in-fact, and in such capacity the Collateral Agent shall have
the right, with power of substitution for each Grantor and in each Grantor's
name or otherwise, for the use and benefit of the Collateral Agent and the
Secured Parties,

receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks,
drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or
any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for

out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the
Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes;
provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring
--------  -------
or obligating the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to make any commitment
or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received
by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, or to present or file any claim or
notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof
or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered
thereby, and no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent or
any Secured Party with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof shall give
rise to any defense, counterclaim or offset in favor of any Grantor or to any
claim or action against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party. It is
understood and agreed that the appointment of the Collateral Agent as the agent
and attorney-in-fact of the Grantors for the purposes set forth above is coupled
with an interest and is irrevocable. The provisions of this Section shall in no
event relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations hereunder or under any other
Loan Document with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or impose any
obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to proceed in any
particular manner with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, or in any
way limit the exercise by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any other
or further right which it may have on the date of this Agreement or hereafter,
whether hereunder, under any other Loan Document, by law or otherwise.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                    Remedies

     SECTION 6.01. Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor agrees to deliver each item of
Collateral to the Collateral Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the
Collateral Agent shall have the right to take any of or all the following
actions at the same or different times: (a) with respect to any Collateral
consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the Security Interest
to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such
Collateral by the applicable Grantors to the Collateral Agent, or to license or
sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive
or non-exclusive basis, any such Collateral throughout the world on such terms
and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall determine (other
than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that
waivers cannot be obtained), and (b) with or without legal process and with or
without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the
Collateral and without liability for trespass to enter any premises where the
Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing
the Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a
secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the
Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of
applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the
Collateral, at public or private sale or at any broker's board or on any
securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the
Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be
authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the
prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that
they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not
with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any
such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and
deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such
purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from
any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives
(to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal
which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule
of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

<PAGE>

                                                                              25

     The Collateral Agent shall give the Grantors 10 days' written notice (which
each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-504(3)
of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York or its
equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent's intention to make
any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state
the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker's board
or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such
sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will
first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall
be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place
or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of
such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may
be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral
Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent
shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine
not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral
shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication,
adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time
to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may,
without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so
adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on
credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the
Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers
thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such
purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold
and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like
notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made
pursuant to this Section, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to
the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or
appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived
and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof
offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then
due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the
purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of
sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability
to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase
the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the
Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement
and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of

<PAGE>

                                                                              26

the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the
fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement
all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full.
As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the
Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose
this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a
judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or
pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 6.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially
reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-504(3) of the Uniform Commercial
Code as in effect in the State of New York or its equivalent in other
jurisdictions.

     SECTION 6.02. Application of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent shall apply the
proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral, as well as any Collateral
consisting of cash, as follows:

          FIRST, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the
     Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such
     hereunder or under any other Loan Document) in connection with such
     collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any
     other Loan Document or any of the Obligations, including all court costs
     and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of
     all advances made by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan
     Document on behalf of any Grantor and any other costs or expenses incurred
     by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent in connection with the
     exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

          SECOND, to the payment in full of the Obligations (the amounts so
     applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance
     with the amounts of the Obligations owed to them on the date of any such
     distribution); and

          THIRD, to the Grantors, their successors or assigns, or as a court of
     competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of
application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this
Agreement. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including
pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial

<PAGE>

                                                                              27

proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money by the Collateral Agent or of the
officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or
purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not
be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid
over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the
misapplication thereof.

     SECTION 6.03. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the
purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under
this Article at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to
exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral
Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of
royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use, license or sub-license
any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter
acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in
such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items
may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the
compilation or printout thereof. The use of such license by the Collateral Agent
shall be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent, upon the occurrence
and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license,
sub-license or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in
accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any
subsequent cure of an Event of Default.


                                   ARTICLE VII

                                  Miscellaneous

     SECTION 7.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall
(except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as
provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices
hereunder to any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be given to it at its address or
telecopy number set forth on Schedule I, with a copy to the Borrower.

     SECTION 7.02. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral
Agent hereunder, the Security Interest and all obligations of the Grantors
hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of
validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any
agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or
instrument relating to any of the

<PAGE>

                                                                              28

foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any
other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver
of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or
non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or
waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or
guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that
might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any
Grantor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement.

     SECTION 7.03. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by any Grantor herein and in the
certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or
pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the
Secured Parties and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, and
the execution and delivery to the Lenders of any notes evidencing such Loans,
regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf, and
shall continue in full force and effect until this Agreement shall terminate.

     SECTION 7.04. Binding Effect; Several Agreement. This Agreement shall
become effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf
of such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a
counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent,
and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor and the Collateral Agent and
their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such
Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective
successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or
transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the
Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as
expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement. This Agreement
shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may
be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any
Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the
obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.

     SECTION 7.05. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the
parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the
successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements
by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Collateral Agent that are contained in
this Agreement shall bind and

<PAGE>

                                                                              29

inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

     SECTION 7.06. Collateral Agent's Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a)
Each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to pay upon demand to the Collateral
Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable
fees, disbursements and other charges of its counsel and of any experts or
agents, which the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the
administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the
sale of, collection from or other realization upon any of the Collateral, (iii)
the exercise, enforcement or protection of any of the rights of the Collateral
Agent hereunder or (iv) the failure of any Grantor to perform or observe any of
the provisions hereof.

     (b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other
Loan Documents, each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the
Collateral Agent and the other Indemnitees against, and hold each of them
harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related
expenses, including reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel,
incurred by or asserted against any of them arising out of, in any way connected
with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of this
Agreement or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating hereto
or to the Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided
                                                                        --------
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnitee.

     (c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional
Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions
of this Section 7.06 shall remain operative and in full force and effect
regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of
the Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf
of the Collateral Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 7.06
shall be payable on written demand therefor.

                                                                              30

     SECTION 7.07. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     SECTION 7.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Collateral
Agent in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or
any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or power. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder and of
the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provisions
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any
Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be
permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No
notice to or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle such Grantor or any
other Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.

     (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended
or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered
into by the Collateral Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which
such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent
required in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.

     SECTION 7.09. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER. EACH PARTY
HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY
RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF
THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY
OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK
TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER
PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.09.

     SECTION 7.10. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect, the

<PAGE>

                                                                              31

validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained
herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood
that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall
not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other
jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace
the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the
economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions.

     SECTION 7.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when
taken together shall constitute but one contract (subject to Section 7.04), and
shall become effective as provided in Section 7.04. Delivery of an executed
signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

     SECTION 7.12. Headings. Article and Section headings used herein are for
the purpose of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to
affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting,
this Agreement.

     SECTION 7.13. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each Grantor
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to
the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of
the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court
from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any
judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard
and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in
such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in
any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Collateral Agent, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring
any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
against any Grantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

     (b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the
fullest extent it may legally and effectively

<PAGE>

                                                                              32

do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue
of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court.

     (c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process
in the manner provided for notices in Section 7.01. Nothing in this Agreement
will affected the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any
other manner permitted by law.

     SECTION 7.14. Termination. (a) This Agreement and the Security Interest
shall terminate when all the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification
and reimbursement rights) have been indefeasibly paid in full, the Lenders have
no further commitment to lend, the LC Exposure has been reduced to zero and the
Issuing Bank has no further commitment to issue Letters of Credit under the
Credit Agreement, at which time the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver
to the Grantors, at the Grantors' expense, all Uniform Commercial Code
termination statements and similar documents which the Grantors shall reasonably
request to evidence such termination. Any execution and delivery of termination
statements or documents pursuant to this Section 7.14 shall be without recourse
to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.

     (b) A Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its
obligations hereunder and the Security Interest in the Collateral of such
Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released in the event that all the
capital stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold, transferred or
otherwise disposed of to a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Borrower in
accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement; provided that the Lenders
                                                   --------
shall have consented to such sale, transfer or other disposition (to the extent
required by the Credit Agreement) and the terms of such consent did not provide
otherwise.

     (c) Upon any sale or other transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral that
is permitted under the Credit Agreement to any Person that is not a Grantor, or,
upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security
interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02(b) of the
Credit Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall be
automatically released.

     (d) The Collateral Agent shall, in connection with a financing contemplated
by Section 6.01(a)(vi) and 6.02(a)(v)

<PAGE>

                                                                              33

of the Credit Agreement, at the request of the lender providing the financing,
(i) subordinate the security interest under this Agreement on the specific
assets or improvement being financed to the security interest of such lender
pursuant to an intercreditor and/or subordination agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to such lender, the Administrative Agent and
the Grantor or (ii) release the Lien and security interest under this Agreement
on the specific assets or improvement being financed; provided that such Lien
                                                      --------
and security interest shall be reinstated upon the repayment in full of the
loans of such lender and the obligations of the Grantor to such lender arising
from or related to such financing secured by such assets or improvement and, in
connection with such reinstatement, the Grantors shall execute and deliver, at
the Grantors' expense, any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or other
documents necessary to effect and evidence such reinstatement as may be
reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent. In connection with any
subordination or release of Lien and security interest pursuant to this Section
7.14(d), the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver, at the Grantors'
expense, any documents necessary to effect and evidence such subordination as
may be reasonably requested by the Grantors.

     SECTION 7.15. Additional Grantors. Upon execution and delivery by the
Collateral Agent and a Subsidiary of Holdings of an instrument in the form of
Annex 3 hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same
force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and
delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any Grantor
hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in
full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party
to this Agreement.

                  2001, among ADVANCE STORES COMPANY, INCORPORATED a Virginia
                  corporation (the "Borrower"), FIRST UNION NATIONAL BANK, a
                  national banking corporation (the "Cash Concentration
                  Bank"), JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, a New York banking corporation
                  ("Chase") as collateral agent (in such capacity, the
                  "Collateral Agent") for the Secured Parties (as defined in the
                  Security Agreement referred to below).

                  Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of November
28, 2001 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
"Credit Agreement"), among the Borrower, Advance Auto Parts, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Holdings"), the lenders from time to time party thereto and Chase,
as administrative agent for the Secured Parties.

                  A. The Borrower, Holdings, the Subsidiary Guarantors (as
defined therein) (the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Borrower and Holdings being
collectively referred to as the "Grantors") and the Collateral Agent are parties
to a Security Agreement dated as of November 28, 2001 (as amended, supplemented
or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Security Agreement"). Pursuant to
the terms of the Security Agreement, the Grantors have granted to the Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in the Grantors=

Obligations. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement.

                  B. The Cash Concentration Bank has agreed to act as collection
sub-agent of the Collateral Agent to receive (a) amounts transferred to the Cash
Concentration Account (as defined below) (such amounts, the "Transferred
Receipts") and (b) payments on the Accounts included in the Collateral.

                  C. The parties hereto desire to define hereunder certain
rights and obligations among them with respect to the appointment of the Cash
Concentration Bank.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the
mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree
as follows:

<PAGE>

                                                                             2

                  1. The Collateral Agent hereby appoints the Cash Concentration
Bank as its collection sub-agent under the Security Agreement and authorizes the
Cash Concentration Bank, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
herein, to receive and hold on deposit (a) Transferred Receipts and (b) payments
on the Accounts included in the Collateral.

                  2. Prior to or contemporaneously with the execution and
delivery by the Cash Concentration Bank of this Agreement, and for the purposes
of this Agreement, the Cash Concentration Bank has established and will (except
as otherwise provided in paragraph 12 below) maintain a cash concentration
account in First Union National Bank (account number 2001000059003) in the name
of the Borrower (the "Cash Concentration Account"). The Cash Concentration Bank
shall deposit in the Cash Concentration Account all Transferred Receipts
received by the Cash Concentration Bank and all payments received by the Cash
Concentration Bank in respect of the Accounts included in the Collateral. The
Cash Concentration Bank agrees to give the Collateral Agent prompt notice if the
Cash Concentration Bank receives notice that the Cash Concentration Account is
subject to any writ, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar
process. As security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, the
Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and transfers to the Cash Concentration Bank,
for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, and hereby creates and grants to the
Cash Concentration Bank, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, a security
interest in the Cash Concentration Account and all property and assets held
therein. The Cash Concentration Bank acknowledges the security interest of the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in the Cash Concentration
Account.

                  3. [The Cash Concentration Bank shall transmit all funds, if
any, then on deposit in the Cash Concentration Account at the end of each

funds on deposit which are subject to collection shall be transmitted promptly
upon collection.] The Collateral Agent hereby authorizes the Cash Concentration
Bank to permit the Borrower to make withdrawals from the Cash Concentration
Account, so long as the Cash Concentration Bank has not received prior written
notice from the Collateral Agent pursuant to the next succeeding sentence.
Promptly upon receipt of written, telex or telecopy notice from the Collateral
Agent so directing the Cash Concentration Bank at any time (which direction
shall be given by the Collateral Agent only upon the occurrence and

                                                                               3

during the continuation of an Event of Default and which notice shall be
sent simultaneously to the Borrower), except to the extent and subject to such
terms as may be specified in such notice, the Cash Concentration Bank shall no
longer permit withdrawals from the Cash Concentration Account to be made by the
Borrower without the written consent of the Collateral Agent, and, if so
directed in such notice, shall promptly transmit to the Collateral Agent, at the
office specified in such notice, all funds, if any, then on deposit in the Cash
Concentration Account (provided that funds on deposit that are subject to
collection shall be transmitted promptly upon collection). If so directed in
such notice, the Cash Concentration Bank shall deliver directly to the
Collateral Agent at the office specified in such notice all checks, drafts and
other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Transferred Receipts
or Accounts included in the Collateral in the possession of the Cash
Concentration Bank without depositing such checks, drafts or other instruments
in the Cash Concentration Account.

                  4. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event
of Default, the Cash Concentration Bank shall, if requested by the Collateral
Agent, furnish the Collateral Agent with monthly statements, in the form and
manner typical for the Cash Concentration Bank, of amounts on deposit in, and
amounts withdrawn from, the Cash Concentration Account and such other
information relating to the Cash Concentration Account at such times as shall be
reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent.

                  5. For purposes of this Agreement, any officer of the
Collateral Agent shall be authorized to act, and to give instructions and
notice, for the purposes set forth in this Agreement on behalf of the Collateral
Agent hereunder.

                  6. The fees for the services of the Cash Concentration Bank
shall be mutually agreed upon between the Borrower and the Cash Concentration
Bank. The Collateral Agent shall not have any responsibility or liability for
the payment of any such fee.

                  7. The Cash Concentration Bank may perform any of its duties
hereunder by or through its agents, officers or employees and shall be entitled
to rely upon the advice of counsel as to its duties. The Cash Concentration Bank
shall not be liable to the Collateral Agent for any action required of the Cash
Concentration Bank under the terms of this Agreement, if such action was taken
or omitted to be taken by it in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct, nor shall the Cash Concentration Bank be responsible to the
Collateral Agent or the Borrower for the

consequences of any oversight or error of judgment or be answerable to the
Collateral Agent for the same unless the same shall happen through its gross
negligence or wilful misconduct.

                  8.  The Borrower consents to the appointment of the Cash
Concentration Bank and agrees that it will not withdraw, or request to withdraw,
funds from the Cash Concentration Account upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default unless such withdrawal is consented to in
writing by the Collateral Agent.

                  9.  The Cash Concentration Bank undertakes to perform only
such duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement.

                  10. The Cash Concentration Bank accepts its obligations as set
forth in this Agreement upon the terms and conditions hereof, including the
following, to all of which the Borrower and the Collateral Agent agree:

                  (a) The Borrower shall promptly pay the Cash Concentration
         Bank the compensation, if any, to be mutually agreed upon with the
         Borrower for all services rendered by the Cash Concentration Bank in
         connection with this Agreement and to reimburse the Cash Concentration
         Bank for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees)
         incurred by the Cash Concentration Bank in connection with the services
         rendered hereunder by the Cash Concentration Bank.

                  (b) The Borrower agrees to and does hereby indemnify and hold
         harmless the Cash Concentration Bank from and against any loss,
         liability, claim, action, cost or expense incurred hereunder or arising
         directly from its action as Cash Concentration Bank hereunder, except
         for any action or omission caused by its gross negligence or wilful
         misconduct (collectively, a "Loss"), as well as the costs and expenses
         of defending against any such claim. The Cash Concentration Bank shall
         promptly notify the Borrower of the commencement of any claim giving
         rise to a potential Loss and of the proceedings relating thereto. The
         Borrower may, at its option, undertake to defend any such claim against
         the Cash Concentration Bank.

                  (c) The Cash Concentration Bank may consult with one or more
         legal counsel satisfactory to it, and in no event shall it be liable
         for action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and
         in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.

                  (d) The Cash Concentration Bank shall be protected from and
         shall incur no liability for or in respect of any action taken or
         damage suffered by it in reliance upon any certification, notice,
         direction, consent, affidavit, statement, or other paper or document
         reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been presented or
         signed by the proper parties, and the Cash Concentration Bank shall be

         authenticity, validity, accuracy or content of any such item.

         Agreement or any document related hereto.

                  (f) The Cash Concentration Bank shall not be under any duty to

         with the Borrower, be required to invest any funds held hereunder, and
         shall be under no duty to take any action with respect to the funds
         held in the Cash Concentration Account, except to keep the same safe
         and to release and deliver same in accordance with this Agreement.
         Funds held hereunder shall not earn or accrue interest, unless
         separately agreed to with the Borrower. The Cash Concentration Bank's
         duties and responsibilities shall be limited to the specific duties
         stated in this Agreement.

                  (g) The Cash Concentration Bank shall act hereunder as a
         depository only and shall not be liable or responsible in any manner
         for the sufficiency, correctness, genuineness or validity of any
         certificate or information delivered to it, or for the identity or
         authority of any Person making any deposit hereunder.

                  11. The Cash Concentration Bank shall be entitled to rely on
the information furnished to it for all purposes in connection with carrying out

such by giving written notice to the Borrower and the Collateral Agent of such
intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation

Receipts or payments relating to the Accounts included in the Collateral
received by the Cash Concentration Bank after such replacement, in whatever form
received, directly to the Successor Cash Concentration Bank at the office
specified in writing to the Collateral Agent and the Cash Concentration Bank.

                  13. The Collateral Agent agrees with the Borrower that it will

Agent so directing the Collection Deposit Bank at any time (which direction

by or through its agents, officers or employees and shall be entitled to rely
upon the advice of counsel as to its duties. The Collection Deposit Bank shall
not be liable to the Collateral Agent for any action required of the Collection
Deposit Bank under the terms of this Agreement, if such action was taken or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith, nor shall the Collection Deposit Bank
be responsible to the Collateral Agent or the Borrower for the consequences of
any oversight or error of judgment or be answerable to the Collateral Agent for
the same unless the same shall happen through its gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

Bank (of which the Borrower shall

from the Collection Deposit Account upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default unless such withdrawal is consented to in
writing by the Collateral Agent. The Borrower acknowledges that the Collection
Deposit Bank shall incur no liability to the Borrower as a result of any action
taken pursuant to an instruction given by the Collateral Agent in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement.

                  10. The Collateral Agent agrees that it will provide the

                           collectively herein as the "Grantors") and JPMORGAN
                           CHASE BANK, a New York banking corporation ("Chase"),
                           as collateral agent (in such capacity, the
                           "Collateral Agent") for the Secured Parties (as
                           defined therein).

         A. Reference is made to (a) the Credit Agreement dated as of November
28, 2001 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
"Credit Agreement"), among the Borrower, Holdings, the lenders from time to time
party thereto (the "Lenders"), Chase, as administrative agent for the Lenders
(in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent"), Collateral Agent and as issuing
bank (in such capacity, the "Issuing Bank"), Credit Suisse First Boston, as
syndication agent, and Lehman Commercial Paper Inc., as syndication agent, and
(b) the Guarantee Agreement dated as of November 28, 2001 (as amended,

Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make additional Loans and the
Issuing Bank to issue additional Letters of Credit and as consideration for
Loans previously made and Letters of Credit previously issued.

         Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Grantor agree as follows:

         SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 7.15 of the Security Agreement,
the New Grantor by its signature below becomes a Grantor under the Security
Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a
Grantor, and the New Grantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions
of the Security Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and (b)
represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a
Grantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. In
furtherance of the foregoing, the New Grantor, as security for the payment and
performance in full of the Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement),
does hereby create and grant to the Collateral Agent, its successors and
assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, a
security interest in and lien on all of the New Grantor's right, title and
interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) of the

deemed to include the New Grantor. The Security Agreement is hereby incorporated
herein by reference.

         SECTION 2. The New Grantor represents and warrants to the Collateral
Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and
binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

         SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by
different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a
single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral
Agent shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken
together, bear the signatures of the New Grantor and the Collateral Agent.

         SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Security
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

         SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

         SECTION 7. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained
herein and in the Security Agreement shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the
validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall
endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions.
