The Collateral (other than the Underlying Collateral and the Pledged Collateral) and the books and records relating thereto are in the Borrower’s possession at the offices and facilities owned or leased by the Borrower set forth in Schedule III hereto. Not less than ten days before the opening of any additional business location which would require the filing of an additional financing statement in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code in order to perfect the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral, any change in the business location where the Collateral and the books and records relating thereto are located and/or maintained which would require the filing of an additional financing statement in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code in order to perfect the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Receivables or any other Collateral, the Borrower will deliver to the Collateral Agent a supplement hereto amending Schedule III to include such business location, together with evidence of the filing of financing statements or other notices of the security interest hereof and an opinion of the Borrower’s counsel responsive to the requirements of Section 3.8 hereof. On the written request of the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will deliver to the Collateral Agent a supplement hereto amending Schedule III to include any additional business locations not previously reflected in a supplement hereto.

Section 3.2.    Warranty of Title    . The Borrower is the lawful owner of the Collateral (other than the Underlying Collateral) and has the sole right and lawful authority to deliver this Agreement. The Collateral (other than the Underlying Collateral) and every part thereof is, on the Closing Date, free and clear of all Liens, except the Lien of this Agreement and Liens permitted by clauses (e), (f) and (g) of Section 8.11 of the Credit Agreement and will be free and clear of all Liens, except the Lien of this Agreement and the other Liens of the character described in clauses (e), (f) and (g) of Section 8.11 of the Credit Agreement, and the Borrower will warrant and defend the Collateral (other than the Underlying Collateral) against any claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein adverse to the Collateral Agent.

Section 3.3.    No Alienation of Collateral    . Except as permitted by the provisions of Section 8.13 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower will not, without the Collateral Agent’s prior written consent, sell, assign, mortgage, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any interest therein.

Section 3.4.    Removal of Collateral    . The Borrower will not remove the Collateral and/or the books and records relating thereto from the locations set forth in Schedule III hereto (i) without complying with §3.1 hereof or (ii) without the Collateral Agent’s prior written consent (provided that the Borrower may move items of Collateral among such locations). The Borrower will at all times allow the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and their representatives free access to, and right of inspection of, the Collateral.

Section 3.5.    Compliance with Leases    . The Borrower will comply with the terms and conditions of any leases covering the premises wherein the Collateral is located and any orders, ordinances, laws or statutes of any city, state or other governmental entity, department or agency having jurisdiction with respect to such premises or the conduct of business thereon unless the failure to so comply will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on such Collateral or impair the rights or interests of the Borrower or the Collateral Agent therein.

Section 3.6.    Protection of Collateral    . At any time and from time to time, any Secured Creditor may, at its option, or the Collateral Agent may, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, discharge any taxes, or other Liens at any time levied or placed on the Collateral which are due and unpaid and (A) which are not being contested

-7-

in good faith by appropriate actions or proceedings which will prevent the forfeiture or sale of the Collateral or any material interference with the use thereof or (B) for which the Borrower has not set aside on its books, reserves adequate in accordance with GAAP with respect thereto, and such parties may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral, including the purchasing of insurance therefor to the extent required to be maintained by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Credit Agreement and not so maintained, and the Borrower will immediately reimburse the Collateral Agent or such Secured Creditor on demand for any payment made or any expense incurred by the Collateral Agent or such Secured Creditor pursuant to the foregoing authority with interest at a rate per annum equal to the higher of (i) LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin or (ii) 4.0%. All such expenses and payments shall have the benefit of and be secured by the security interest herein granted, and the Collateral Agent is authorized to charge any depository account of the Borrower maintained with the Collateral Agent or any Secured Creditor for the amount of such expenses and payments.

Section 3.7.    Further Assurances    . The Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such further agreements and assignments or other instruments and to do all such other things as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or appropriate to assure the Collateral Agent its first priority security interest hereunder, including such financing statement or statements or amendments thereof or supplements thereto or other instruments as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably require to perfect, and continue the perfection of, the security interest in the Collateral contemplated by this Agreement. The Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any such financing statement is sufficient for filing as a financing statement by the Collateral Agent without notice thereof to the Borrower wherever the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion desires to file the same. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file any and all financing statements covering the Collateral or any part thereof as the Collateral Agent may require. The Collateral Agent shall, when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or at such other time pursuant to §4 or §5, have the right to take physical possession of any and all of the Collateral and to maintain such possession on the Borrower’s premises or, if possible, to remove the Collateral or any part thereof to such other places as the Collateral Agent may desire. If the Collateral Agent exercises its right to take possession of the Collateral, the Borrower shall, upon the Collateral Agent’s demand, if possible, assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place designated by the Collateral Agent. The Borrower shall at its expense perform any and all other steps reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to preserve and protect the first priority security interest hereby granted in the Collateral. If any Collateral is in the possession or control of any of the Borrower’s agents or processors while a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower agrees (i) to notify such agents or processors in writing of the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein, and (ii) upon the Collateral Agent’s request instruct them to hold all such Collateral for the Collateral Agent’s account and subject to the Collateral Agent’s instructions. The Borrower agrees to xxxx its books and records to reflect the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral.

(a) The Borrower will, at its expense, take all necessary action to maintain and preserve the first and prior perfected lien of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the filing of all financing statements or similar notices thereof if and to the extent permitted or required by applicable law) so long as the Secured Creditors have any commitment to extend Secured Indebtedness to the Borrower and thereafter so long as any Secured Indebtedness remains outstanding.

(b)    The Borrower will, forthwith after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and thereafter from time to time, cause this Agreement (and all financing statements, continuation statements or similar notices thereof if and to the extent permitted or required by applicable law) to be filed, registered and recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect the first lien of the Collateral

(a)    unless an Event of Default actually known to the Collateral Agent shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Collateral Agent but the duties and obligations of the Collateral Agent shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement; and

(b)    in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may rely upon the authenticity of, and the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in, and shall be protected in acting upon, any resolution, officer’s certificate, opinion of counsel (which counsel shall be independent of the Borrower, any Affiliate thereof and the Secured Creditors), Note, request, notice, consent, waiver, order, signature guaranty, notarial seal, stamp, acknowledgment, verification, appraisal, report, stock certificate, or other paper or document believed by the Collateral Agent to be genuine and to have been signed, affixed or presented by the proper party or parties; and

Section 8.5.    Status of Moneys Received    . (a) All moneys received by the Collateral Agent shall, together with any interest thereon, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but (except as herein otherwise provided with respect to the funds referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section) need not be segregated in any manner from any other moneys, except to the extent required by law, and may be deposited by the Collateral Agent under such general conditions as may be prescribed by law in the Collateral Agent’s general banking department, and the Collateral Agent shall be under no liability for interest (other than any interest accrued pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 8.5) on any moneys received by it hereunder.

Section 8.6.    Resignation of Collateral Agent    . The Collateral Agent may resign without cause and be discharged from the trusts created hereby by delivering notice thereof, by registered or certified mail postage prepaid to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Such resignation shall take effect immediately upon the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent as provided in Sections 8.8 and 8.9.

Section 8.7.    Removal of Collateral Agent    . The Collateral Agent may be removed at any time, for or without cause, by an instrument or instruments in writing executed by the Administrative Agent and delivered to the Collateral Agent with a copy to the Borrower, specifying the removal and the date when it shall take effect provided, however, that no such removal shall be effective hereunder unless and until a successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment as provided in Sections 8.8 and 8.9.

Section 8.8.    Appointment of Successor Collateral Agent    . In case at any time the Collateral Agent shall resign or be removed or become incapable of acting, a successor Collateral Agent may be appointed by the Administrative Agent (acting at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders), by an instrument or instruments in writing executed by the Administrative Agent and filed with such successor Collateral Agent and the Borrower.

Until a successor Collateral Agent shall be so appointed by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall appoint a successor Collateral Agent to fill such vacancy, by an instrument in writing executed by the Borrower and delivered to the successor Collateral Agent. If all or substantially all of the Collateral shall be in the possession of one or more receivers, trustees, liquidators or assignees for the benefit of creditors, then such receivers, trustees, custodians, liquidators or assignees may, by an instrument in writing delivered to the successor Collateral Agent, appoint a successor Collateral Agent. Promptly after any such appointment, the Borrower, or any such receivers, trustees, custodians, liquidators or assignees, as the case may be, shall give notice thereof by first class mail postage prepaid to the Administrative Agent.

Any successor Collateral Agent so appointed by the Borrower, or such receivers, trustees, custodians, liquidators or assignees, shall immediately and without further act be superseded by a successor Collateral Agent appointed by the Administrative Agent.

If a successor Collateral Agent shall not be appointed pursuant to this Section within thirty (30) days after notice of the resignation or removal of the retiring Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or such retiring Collateral Agent (unless the retiring Collateral Agent is being removed) may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to

-20-

appoint a successor Collateral Agent, and such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may consider proper, appoint a successor Collateral Agent.

Section 8.9.    Succession of Successor Collateral Agent    . Any successor Collateral Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the predecessor Collateral Agent an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon such successor Collateral Agent, without any further act, deed, conveyance or transfer, shall become vested with the title to the Collateral, and with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the predecessor Collateral Agent in the trust hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Collateral Agent herein.

Upon the request of any such successor Collateral Agent, however, the Borrower and the predecessor Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver such instruments of conveyance and further assurance and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in such successor Collateral Agent its interest in the Collateral and all such rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of the predecessor Collateral Agent hereunder, and the predecessor Collateral Agent shall also assign and deliver to the successor Collateral Agent any property subject to the lien and security interest of this Agreement which may then be in its possession.

Section 8.10.    Eligibility of Collateral Agent    .

In case the Collateral Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Collateral Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.6.

Section 8.11.    Successor Collateral Agent by Merger    . Any corporation into which the Collateral Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party, or any state or national bank or trust company in any manner succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Collateral Agent as a whole or substantially as a whole, if eligible as provided in Section 8.10, shall be the successor of the Collateral Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding.

Section 8.12.    Co-Trustees    . At any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral may at the time be located, the Borrower and the Collateral Agent jointly shall have power and shall execute and deliver all instruments, to appoint one or more persons approved by the Collateral Agent, to act as co-trustee, or co-trustees, jointly with the Collateral Agent, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Collateral, and to vest in such person or persons in such capacity, such interest in the Collateral or any part thereof, and such rights, powers, duties, trusts or obligations as the Borrower and the Collateral Agent may consider necessary or desirable. If the Borrower shall not have joined in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after

-21-

the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent alone shall have power to make such appointment if the Collateral Agent reasonably believes such appointment is necessary or desirable to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 8.13.    Compensation and Reimbursement    . The Borrower agrees:

(c)    except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Collateral Agent upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Collateral Agent in accordance with any provision of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its gross negligence or willful misconduct; and

(d)    to indemnify the Collateral Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Agreement, including, but not limited to, the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, and any loss, liability, expense or claim arising out of its possession, management, control, use or operation of the Collateral.
