(a) Title. The Debtor (i) has absolute title to each item of
Collateral in existence on the date hereof, free and clear of all Liens
except the Security Interest and the Permitted Liens, (ii) will have, at
the time the Debtor acquires any rights in Collateral hereafter arising,
absolute title to each such item of Collateral free and clear of all Liens
except Permitted Liens, (iii) will keep all Collateral free and clear of
all Liens except Permitted Liens, and (iv) will defend the Collateral
against all claims or demands of all persons other than the Agent. The
Debtor will not sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any
interest therein, outside the ordinary course of business, without the
prior written consent of the Agent, except as permitted under the Loan
Agreement.
(b) Chief Executive Office; Identification Number. The Debtor's

without prior written notice to the Agent. The Debtor will not change its
business address without prior written notice to the Agent.
(d) Fixtures. The Debtor will not permit any tangible Collateral to

assuring to the reasonable satisfaction
-4-
of the Agent that the Security Interest will be prior and senior to any
Lien then held or thereafter acquired by any mortgagee of such real
property or the owner or purchaser of any interest therein.
(e) Rights to Payment. To the Debtor's Knowledge, each right to
payment and each instrument, document, chattel paper and other agreement
constituting or evidencing Collateral is (or will be when arising, issued
or assigned to the Agent) the valid, genuine and legally enforceable
obligation, subject to no defense, setoff or counterclaim (other than
those arising in the ordinary course of business), of the account debtor
or other obligor named therein or in the Debtor's records pertaining
thereto as being obligated to pay such obligation. The Debtor will neither
agree to any material modification or amendment nor agree to any
forbearance, release or cancellation of any such obligation, and will not
subordinate any such right to payment to claims of other creditors of such
account debtor or other obligor.
(f) Miscellaneous Covenants. The Debtor will:
(i) keep all tangible Collateral in good repair, working order
and condition, normal depreciation excepted, and will, from time to
time, replace any worn, broken or defective parts thereof;
(ii) promptly pay all taxes (other than income taxes on the
income of Agent or any of the Lenders) and other governmental
charges levied or assessed upon or against any Collateral or upon or
against the creation, perfection or continuance of the Security
Interest, except if contested in accordance with Section 9.1 of the
Loan Agreement;
(iii) at all reasonable times, permit the Agent or its
representatives to examine or inspect any Collateral, wherever
located, and to examine, inspect and copy the Debtor's books and
records pertaining to the Collateral and its business and financial
condition and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, to send and discuss with account debtors and other
obligors requests for verifications of amounts owed to the Debtor;
(iv) keep accurate and complete records pertaining to the
Collateral and pertaining to the Debtor's business and financial
condition and submit to the Agent such periodic reports concerning
the Collateral and the Debtor's business and financial condition as
the Agent may from time to time reasonably request;
(v) promptly notify the Agent of any loss of or material
damage to any Collateral or of any adverse change, known to the
Debtor, in the prospect of payment of any material sums due on or
under any instrument, chattel paper, or account constituting
Collateral;
(vi) if the Agent at any time so requests (after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default),
promptly deliver to the Agent any instrument, document or chattel
paper constituting Collateral, duly endorsed or assigned by the
Debtor;
(vii) at all times keep all tangible Collateral insured as
provided in the Loan Agreement;
-5-
(viii) from time to time execute such financing statements as
the Agent may reasonably require in order to perfect the Security
Interest and, if any Collateral consists of a motor vehicle, execute
such documents as may be required to have the Security Interest
properly noted on a certificate of title;
(ix) pay when due or reimburse the Agent on demand for all
costs of collection of any of the Obligations and all other
out-of-pocket expenses (including in each case all reasonable
attorneys' fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the

enforcement of the Security Interest or the creation, continuance,
protection, defense or enforcement of this Agreement or any or all
of the Obligations, including expenses incurred in any litigation or
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings;

to secure, protect, perfect or enforce the Security Interest and the
Agent's rights under this Agreement; and

or kept, for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any federal,
state or local law, statute or ordinance.
(g) Agent's Right to Take Action. The Debtor authorizes the Agent to
file such financing statements as the Agent deems reasonably necessary to
perfect the Security Interest in the Collateral. Further, if the Debtor at
any time fails to perform or observe any agreement contained in Section
3(f), and if such failure continues for a period of ten (10) business days
after the Agent gives the Debtor written notice thereof, the Agent may
(but need not) perform or observe such agreement on behalf and in the
name, place and stead of the Debtor (or, at the Agent's option, in the
Agent's own name) and may (but need not) take any and all other actions
which the Agent may reasonably deem necessary to cure or correct such
failure (including, without limitation the payment of taxes, the
satisfaction of security interests, liens, or encumbrances, the
performance of obligations under contracts or agreements with account
debtors or other obligors, the procurement and maintenance of insurance,
the execution of financing statements, the endorsement of instruments, and
the procurement of repairs or transportation); and, except to the extent
that the effect of such payment would be to render any loan or forbearance
of money usurious or otherwise illegal under any applicable law, the
Debtor shall thereupon pay the Agent on demand the amount of all moneys
expended and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
incurred by the Agent in connection with or as a result of the Agent's
performing or observing such agreements or taking such actions, together
with interest thereon from the date expended or incurred by the Agent at
the highest rate then applicable to any of the Obligations.
(h) Power of Attorney. The Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints (which
appointment is coupled with an interest) the Agent, or its delegate, as
the attorney-in-fact of the Debtor with the right (but not the duty) from
time to time, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, to: (a) create, prepare, complete, execute, deliver,
endorse or file, in the name and on behalf of the Debtor, any and all
instruments, documents, financing statements, applications for insurance
and other agreements and writings required to be obtained, executed,
delivered or endorsed by the Debtor under this
-6-
Section 3; (b) to convert the Collateral into cash, including, without
limitation, the sale (either public or private) of all or any portion or
portions of the Collateral; (c) to enforce collection of the Collateral,
either in its own name or in the name of the Debtor, including, without
limitation, executing releases, compromising or settling with any Account
Debtors and prosecuting, defending, compromising or releasing any action
relating to the Collateral; (d) to receive, open and dispose of all mail
addressed to the Debtor and to take therefrom any remittances or proceeds
of Collateral in which the Agent has a security interest; (e) to notify
post office authorities to change the address for delivery of mail
addressed to the Debtor to such address as the Agent shall designate; (f)
to endorse the name of the Debtor in favor of the Agent upon any and all
checks, drafts, money orders, notes, acceptances or other instruments of
the same or different nature; (g) to sign and endorse the name of the
Debtor on and to receive as secured party any of the Collateral, any
invoices, schedules of Collateral, freight or express receipts, or bills
of lading, storage receipts, warehouse receipts, or other documents of
title of the same or different nature relating to the Collateral; (h) to
sign the name of the Debtor on any notice to the Account Debtors or on
verification of the Collateral; and (h) to sign and file or record on
behalf of the Debtor any financing or other statement in order to perfect
or protect the Agent's security interest. The Agent shall not be obliged
to do any of the acts or exercise any of the powers hereinabove
authorized, but if the Agent elects to do any such act or exercise any
such power, it shall not be accountable for more than it actually receives
as a result of such exercise of power, and it shall not be responsible to
the Debtor except for willful misconduct in bad faith. All powers
conferred upon the Agent by this Agreement, being coupled with an
interest, shall be irrevocable so long as any Obligation of the Debtor to
the Agent shall remain unpaid.
4. Assignment of Insurance. The Debtor hereby assigns to the Agent, as
additional security for the payment of the Obligations, any and all moneys
(including but not limited to proceeds of insurance and refunds of unearned
premiums) due or to become due under, and all other rights of the Debtor under
or with respect to, any and all policies of insurance covering the Collateral,
and the Debtor hereby directs the issuer of any such policy to pay any such
moneys directly to the Agent, following the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default. After the occurrence of an Event of Default,
the Agent may (but need not), in its own name or in the Debtor's name, execute
and deliver proofs of claim, receive all such moneys, endorse checks and other
instruments representing payment of such moneys, and adjust, litigate,
compromise or release any claim against the issuer of any such policy.
5. Events of Default. Each of the following occurrences shall constitute
an event of default under this Agreement (herein called "Event of Default"): (i)
an Event of Default shall occur under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan
Document; or (ii) the Debtor shall fail to observe or perform any covenant or
agreement herein binding on it and such failure is not cured within the periods
set forth in Section 10.2 of the Loan Agreement.
6. Remedies upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent may exercise any one or more of
the following rights and remedies: (i) declare all unmatured Obligations to be
immediately due and payable, and the same shall thereupon be immediately due and
payable, without presentment or other notice or demand; (ii) exercise and
enforce any or all rights and remedies available upon default to a secured party
under the UCC, including but not limited to the right to take possession of any
Collateral, proceeding without judicial process or by judicial process (without
a prior hearing or notice thereof, which the Debtor hereby expressly waives),
and the right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any or all of the
Collateral, and in connection therewith, the Agent may require the Debtor to
make the Collateral
-7-
available to the Agent at a place to be designated by the Agent which is
reasonably convenient to both parties, and if notice to the Debtor of any
intended disposition of Collateral or any other intended action is required by
law in a particular instance, such notice shall be deemed commercially
reasonable if given (in the manner specified in Section 8) at least ten (10)
days prior to the date of intended disposition or other action; (iii) exercise
any right, remedy, power, privilege or discretion of the Debtor pursuant to the
Put-Call Option Agreement, including, without limitation, the Debtor's right
under the Put-Call Option Agreement to acquire a 100% ownership interest in
T-Two Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and to issue in exchange
therefor limited partnership units in the Debtor; and (iv) exercise or enforce
any or all other rights or remedies available to the Agent by law or agreement
against the Collateral, against the Debtor or against any other person or
property. The Agent is hereby granted a nonexclusive, worldwide and royalty-free
license to use or otherwise exploit all intellectual property owned by or
licensed to the Debtor that the Agent deems necessary or appropriate to the
disposition of any Collateral.
7. Other Personal Property. Unless, at the time the Agent takes possession
of any tangible Collateral, or within seven days thereafter, the Debtor gives
written notice to the Agent of the existence of any goods, papers or other
property of the Debtor, not affixed to or constituting a part of such
Collateral, but which are located or found upon or within such Collateral,
describing such property, the Agent shall not be responsible or liable to the
Debtor for any action taken or omitted by or on behalf of the Agent with respect
to such property.
8. Notice. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be (a) personally delivered, (b) sent by first class United
States mail, (c) sent by overnight courier of national reputation, or (d)
transmitted by telecopy, in each case addressed or telecopied to the party to
whom notice is being given at its address or telecopier number as set forth
below its signature or, as to each party, at such other address or telecopier
number as may hereafter be designated by such party in a written notice to the
other party complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section. All such
notices, requests, demands and other communications shall be deemed to have been
given on (i) the date received if personally delivered, (ii) five (5) days after
being deposited in the mail if delivered by mail, (iii) the date received if
sent by overnight courier, or (iv) the date of receipt if delivered by telecopy.
9. Termination. Upon the payment in full of the Obligations, in
immediately available funds, including, without limitation, all unreimbursed
costs and expenses of the Agent and of each Lender for which the Debtor is
responsible, the Agent shall release the Collateral granted to the Agent as
provided for herein. However, such release by the Agent shall not be deemed to
terminate or release the Debtor from any obligation or liability under this
Agreement which specifically by its terms survives the payment in full of the
Obligations.
10. Miscellaneous. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized by
all necessary action. This Agreement does not contemplate a sale of accounts, or
chattel paper. This Agreement can be waived, modified, amended, terminated or
discharged, and the Security Interest can be released, only explicitly in a
writing signed by the Agent, and, in the case of amendment or modification, in a
writing signed by the Debtor. A waiver signed by the Agent shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. Mere delay or
failure to act shall not preclude the exercise or enforcement of any of the
Agent's rights or remedies. All rights and remedies of the Agent shall be
cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently, at the Agent's
option, and the exercise or enforcement of any one such right or remedy shall
neither be a condition to nor bar the exercise or enforcement of any other. The
Agent's duty of care with respect to Collateral in its possession (as imposed by
law) shall be deemed fulfilled if the Agent exercises
-8-
reasonable care in physically safekeeping such Collateral or, in the case of
Collateral in the custody or possession of a bailee or other third person,
exercises reasonable care in the selection of the bailee or other third person,
and the Agent need not otherwise preserve, protect, insure or care for any
Collateral. The Agent shall not be obligated to preserve any rights the Debtor
may have against prior parties, to realize on the Collateral at all or in any
particular manner or order, or to apply any cash proceeds of Collateral in any
particular order of application. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the Debtor and the Agent and their respective successors and
assigns and shall take effect when signed by the Debtor and delivered to the
Agent, and the Debtor waives notice of the Agent's acceptance hereof. The Agent
may execute this Agreement if appropriate for the purpose of filing, but the
failure of the Agent to execute this Agreement shall not affect or impair the
validity or effectiveness of this Agreement. A carbon, photographic or other
reproduction of this Agreement or of any financing statement signed by the
Debtor shall have the same force and effect as the original for all purposes of
a financing statement. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the substantive laws (other than conflict laws) of The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. If any provision or application of this Agreement
is held unlawful or unenforceable in any respect, such illegality or
unenforceability shall not affect other provisions or applications which can be
given effect and this Agreement shall be construed as if the unlawful or
unenforceable provision or application had never been contained herein or
prescribed hereby. All representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement shall survive the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the creation and payment of the Obligations. The parties hereto
hereby (i) consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts
located in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts in connection with any controversy
related to this Agreement; (ii) waive any argument that venue in any such forum
is not convenient, (iii) agree that any litigation initiated by the Agent or the
Debtor in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be
venued in either the state or federal courts located in Boston, Massachusetts;
and (iv) agree that a final judgment in any such suit, 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.
THE PARTIES WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING
BASED ON OR PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT.
