WHEREAS, the Lender and the Borrower are parties to a Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (such agreement, as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, being hereinafter referred to as the “Credit Agreement”);
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lender has agreed to make certain term loans (each a “Loan” and collectively, the “Loans”) to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the Maximum Revolving Commitment (as defined in the Credit Agreement);
WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the Lender making any Loan to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, that the Borrower shall have executed and delivered to the Lender a security agreement providing for the grant to Lender of a security interest in all of the accounts receivable of the Company;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements herein and in order to induce the Lender to make and maintain the Loans pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company hereby jointly and severally agrees with the Lender as follows:
SECTION 1. Definitions .
(a) Reference is hereby made to the Credit Agreement for a statement of the terms thereof. All terms used in this Agreement and the recitals hereto which are defined in the Credit Agreement or in Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (the “Code”) as in effect from time to time in the State of New York and which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings herein as set forth therein; provided that terms used herein which are defined in the Code as in effect in the State of New York on the date hereof shall continue to have the same meaning notwithstanding any replacement or amendment of such statute except as Lender may otherwise determine.

(d) The Company is and will be at all times the sole and exclusive owners of, or otherwise have and will have adequate rights in, the Collateral free and clear of any Lien except for (i) the Lien created by this Agreement and (ii) the Permitted Liens. No effective financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any recording or filing office except (A) such as may have been filed in favor of Lender relating to this Agreement and (B) such as may have been filed to perfect or protect any security interests or Liens permitted by the Credit Agreement.
(e) This Agreement creates in favor of Lender a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral, as security for the Obligations.
SECTION 5. Covenants as to the Collateral . So long as any of the Obligations shall remain outstanding and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not have expired or terminated, unless Lender shall otherwise consent in writing:
(a) Further Assurances. The Company will at its expense, at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable or that Lender may request in order to (i) perfect and protect the security interest purported to be created hereby; (ii) enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of the Collateral; or (iii) otherwise effect the purposes of this Agreement.

A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.
(b) The Company hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of the Company and in the name of the Company or otherwise, from time to time in Lender’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (subject to the rights of the Company under Section 5 hereof), including, without limitation, to execute assignments, licenses and other documents to enforce the rights of Lender and the Lender with respect to any Collateral. This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until all of the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full after the termination of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c) The powers conferred on Lender hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, Lender shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.
SECTION 7. Remedies Upon Default . If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(a) Lender may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) take absolute control of the Collateral, including, without limitation, transfer into Lender’s name or into the name of its nominee or nominees (to the extent Lender has not theretofore done so) and thereafter receive, for the benefit of Lender, all payments made thereon, give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof, (ii) without notice except as specified below and without any obligation to prepare or process the Collateral for sale, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Lender’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Lender may deem commercially reasonable. All Cash Proceeds received by Lender in respect of any sale of or collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of Lender, be held by Lender as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to Lender pursuant to Section 8 hereof) in whole or in part by Lender against, all or any part of the Obligations in such order as Lender shall elect, consistent with the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreements. Any surplus of such cash or Cash Proceeds held by Lender and remaining after the indefeasible payment in full of all of the Obligations after the termination of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be paid over to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.
(b) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Lender is legally entitled, the Company shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the highest rate specified in any applicable Loan Document for interest on overdue principal thereof or such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and other client charges of any attorneys employed by Lender to collect such deficiency.
(c) The Company hereby acknowledges that if Lender complies with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, such compliance will not adversely effect the commercial reasonableness of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral.

SECTION 8. Indemnity and Expenses .
(a) The Company agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees, costs, expenses, and disbursements of Lender’s counsel) to the extent that they arise out of or otherwise result from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except claims, losses or liabilities resulting solely and directly from Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) The Company will upon demand pay to Lender the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of counsel for Lender and of any experts of Lender (including, without limitation, any collateral trustee which may act as agent of Lender), which Lender may incur in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, recordation, administration, amendment, waiver or other modification or termination of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Lender hereunder, or (iv) the failure by the Company to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
SECTION 9. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed (by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested), telecopied or delivered, if to the Company or to Lender, to it at its address specified in the Credit Agreement; or as to any such Person, at such other address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice to such other Person complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 9. All such notices and other communications shall be effective (i) if mailed (by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested), when received or three (3) Business Days after deposited in the mails, whichever occurs first, (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted and confirmation is received, provided same is on a Business Day and, if not, on the next Business Day; or (iii) if delivered, upon delivery, provided same is on a Business Day and, if not, on the next Business Day.
SECTION 10. Miscellaneous .
(a) No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Company and Lender, and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by the Company therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by Lender, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
(b) No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of Lender in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of Lender against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by such Person to exercise any of its rights under any other Loan Document against such party or against any other Person, including but not limited to, the Company.

(c) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Upon any such assignment or transfer, all references in this Agreement to Lender shall mean the assignee of Lender. None of the rights or obligations of the Company hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of Lender, and any such assignment or transfer shall be null and void.
(e) Upon the satisfaction in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (i) this Agreement and the security interests created hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Company and (ii) Lender will, upon the Company’s request and at the Company’s expense, (A) return to the Company such of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof and (B) execute and deliver to the Company such documents as the Company shall reasonably request to evidence such termination, all without any representation, warranty or recourse whatsoever.
