SECTION 6. Further Assurances.
------------------
(a) Generally. Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the
request of the Secured Party, and at the expense of Grantors, such Grantor will
promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all
further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Secured Party may
request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or
purported to be granted hereby or to enable Secured Party to exercise and
enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor will: (i) at the
request of Secured Party, xxxx conspicuously each item of chattel paper included
in the Accounts, each Related Contract and, at the request of Secured Party,
each of its records pertaining to the Collateral, with a legend, in form and
substance satisfactory to Secured Party, indicating that such Collateral is
subject to the security interest granted hereby, (ii) at the request of Secured
Party, deliver and pledge to Secured Party hereunder all promissory notes and
other instruments (including checks) and all original counterparts of chattel
paper constituting Collateral, duly endorsed and accompanied by duly executed
instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory to
Secured Party, (iii) at the request of the Secured Party, execute and file such
financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other
instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as Secured Party
may request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interests granted or
purported to be granted hereby, (iv) furnish to Secured Party from time to time
statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and
such other reports in connection with the Collateral as Secured Party may
reasonably request, all in reasonable detail, (v) at the request of the Secured
Party, execute and deliver one or more control agreements, blocked account
agreements or other agreements, and establish and maintain one or more deposit
accounts and lock-box accounts, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the
Secured Party may reasonably request, to perfect and protect its Lien on the
Deposit Accounts and Restricted Investment Accounts of the Grantors, provided
that Secured Party may not obtain dominion and control over any Governmental
Health Receivable Collection Account maintained with Secured Party or any
Regional Depositary Accounts, Imprest Accounts and Other Deposit Accounts (as
such terms are defined in Section 13(c), (vi) within 30 days after the end of
each calendar quarter, deliver to Secured Party copies of all such applications
or other documents filed during such calendar quarter and copies of all such
certificates of title issued during such calendar quarter indicating the
security interest created hereunder in the items of Equipment covered thereby,
(vii) at any reasonable time, upon request by Secured Party, exhibit the
Collateral to and allow inspection of the Collateral by Secured Party, or
persons designated by Secured Party, (viii) at Secured Party's request, appear
in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect such Grantor's title to
or Secured Party's security interest in all or any part of the Collateral, and
(ix) at Secured Party's request with respect to specific assets use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary consents of third parties to the
creation and perfection of a security interest to Secured Party with respect to
any Collateral. To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby authorizes
Secured Party to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and
amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral without the
12
signature of any Grantor. To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor agrees
that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of a
financing statement signed by such Grantor shall be sufficient as a financing
statement and may be filed as a financing statement in any and all
jurisdictions.
(b) Securities Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing Section 6(a), each Grantor agrees that it will, upon obtaining any
additional shares of stock or other securities required to be pledged hereunder,
promptly (and in any event within five Business Days) deliver to Secured Party a
Pledge Supplement, duly executed by such Grantor, in substantially the form of
Exhibit IV (a "Pledge Supplement"), in respect of the additional Pledged Shares
or Pledged Debt to be pledged pursuant to this Agreement. Upon each delivery of
a Pledge Supplement to Secured Party, the representations and warranties
contained in clauses (i)-(iv) of Section 5(g) hereof shall be deemed to have
been made by such Grantor as to the Securities Collateral described in such
Pledge Supplement as of the date thereof. Each Grantor hereby authorizes Secured
Party to attach each Pledge Supplement to this Agreement and agrees that all
Pledged Shares or Pledged Debt of such Grantor listed on any Pledge Supplement
shall for all purposes hereunder be considered Collateral of such Grantor;
provided, the failure of any Grantor to execute a Pledge Supplement with respect
to any additional Pledged Shares or Pledged Debt pledged pursuant to this
Agreement shall not impair the security interest of Secured Party therein or
otherwise adversely affect the rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder
with respect thereto.
(c) Intellectual Property Collateral. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing Section 6(a), if any Grantor shall hereafter obtain
rights to any new Intellectual Property Collateral or become entitled to the
benefit of (i) any patent application or patent or any reissue, division,
continuation, renewal, extension or continuation-in-part of any Patent or any
improvement of any Patent or (ii) any Copyright Registration, application for
Copyright Registration or renewals or extension of any Copyright, then in any
such case, the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto.
Each Grantor shall promptly notify Secured Party in writing of any of the
foregoing rights acquired by such Grantor after the date hereof and of (i) any
Trademark Registrations issued or application for a Trademark Registration or
application for a Patent made, and (ii) any Copyright Registrations issued or
applications for Copyright Registration made, in any such case, after the date
hereof. Promptly after the filing of an application for any (1) Trademark
Registration; (2) Patent; and (3) Copyright Registration, each Grantor shall
execute and deliver to Secured Party and record in all places where a Grant is
recorded an IP Supplement, substantially in the form of Exhibit V (an "IP
Supplement"), pursuant to which such Grantor shall grant to Secured Party a
security interest to the extent of its interest in such Intellectual Property
Collateral; provided, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Grantor, after due
inquiry, granting such interest would result in the grant of a Trademark
Registration or Copyright Registration in the name of Secured Party, such
Grantor shall give written notice to Secured Party as soon as reasonably
practicable and the filing shall instead be undertaken as soon as practicable
but in no case later than immediately following the grant of the applicable
Trademark Registration or Copyright Registration, as the case may be. Upon
delivery to Secured Party of an IP Supplement, Schedules 2(f)(i), 2(f)(ii), and
2(f)(iii) hereto and Schedule A to each Grant, as applicable, shall be deemed
modified to include reference to any right, title or interest in any existing
Intellectual Property Collateral or any Intellectual Property Collateral
included on Schedule A to such IP Supplement. Each Grantor hereby authorizes
Secured Party to modify this Agreement without the signature or consent of any
Grantor by
13
attaching Schedules 2(f)(i), 2(f)(ii), and 2(f)(iii), as applicable,
that have been modified to include such Intellectual Property Collateral or to
delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any Intellectual
Property Collateral in which any Grantor no longer has or claims any right,
title or interest; provided, the failure of any Grantor to execute an IP
Supplement with respect to any additional Intellectual Property Collateral
pledged pursuant to this Agreement shall not impair the security interest of
Secured Party therein or otherwise adversely affect the rights and remedies of
Secured Party hereunder with respect thereto.
SECTION 7. Certain Covenants of Grantors.

(a) not use or permit any Collateral to be used unlawfully or in

Grantor shall in any event pay such taxes, assessments, charges, levies or
claims not later than five days prior to the date of any proposed sale under any
judgment, writ or warrant of attachment entered or filed against such Grantor or
any of the Collateral as a result of the failure to make such payment.

hereby, or to enable Secured Party to exercise and enforce its rights and
remedies hereunder, with respect to such Equipment and Inventory shall have been
taken;
14

Collateral of Secured Party and that such agent or processor is directed to
deliver such Inventory to Secured Party upon its request;
(e) promptly upon the issuance and delivery to such Grantor of any
Negotiable Document of Title, deliver such Negotiable Document of Title to
Secured Party; and
(f) each Grantor shall, at its own expense, maintain insurance with

Financing Documents.
SECTION 9. Special Covenants with Respect to Accounts and Related Contracts.
----------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Each Grantor shall keep its chief place of business and chief

locations in jurisdictions where all action that may be necessary or desirable,
or that Secured Party may request, in order to perfect and protect any security
interest granted or purported to be granted hereby, or to enable Secured Party
to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder, with respect to such

preserve such records and chattel paper and will permit representatives of
Secured Party upon reasonable advance notice to such Grantor and at reasonable
dates and times and as often as may be reasonably requested to inspect and make
abstracts from such records and chattel paper, and each Grantor agrees to render
to Secured Party, at Grantor's cost and expense, such clerical and other
assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto. Promptly upon the
request of Secured Party, each Grantor shall deliver to Secured Party complete

15
the Accounts and Related Contracts. Subject to this subsection (c), in
connection with such collections, each Grantor may take (and, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default at Secured Party's
direction, shall take) such action as such Grantor or Secured Party may deem
necessary or advisable to enforce collection of amounts due or to become due
under the Accounts; provided, however, that Secured Party shall have the right
at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default and upon written notice to such Grantor of its intention to do so, to
notify the account debtors or obligors under any Accounts of the assignment of
such Accounts to Secured Party and to direct such account debtors or obligors to
make payment of all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder
directly to Secured Party, to notify each Person maintaining a lockbox or
similar arrangement to which account debtors or obligors under any Accounts have
been directed to make payment to remit all amounts representing collections on
checks and other payment items from time to time sent to or deposited in such
lockbox or other arrangement directly to Secured Party and, upon such
notification and at the expense of Grantors, to enforce collection of any such
Accounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in
the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done. After
receipt by such Grantor of the notice from Secured Party referred to in the
proviso to the preceding sentence, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including
checks and other instruments) received by such Grantor in respect of the
Accounts and the Related Contracts shall be received in trust for the benefit of
Secured Party hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor
and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to Secured Party in the same form
as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral
and applied as provided by Section 19, and (ii) such Grantor shall not adjust,
settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Account, or release wholly or
partly any account debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount

be in suitable form for transfer by delivery or, as applicable, shall be
accompanied by such Grantor's endorsement, where necessary, or duly executed
instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance
satisfactory to Secured Party. Secured Party shall have the right at any time to
exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Securities
Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.
(b) Covenants. Each Grantor shall (i) not, except as expressly
permitted by the Financing Documents, permit any issuer of Pledged Shares to

consolidation is Company or all the outstanding capital stock or other equity

consolidation, pledged hereunder and no cash, securities or other property is
distributed in respect of the outstanding shares of any other constituent
corporation; provided, if the surviving or resulting Person upon any such merger
or consolidation involving an issuer of Pledged Shares which is a controlled
foreign corporation is a controlled foreign corporation, then such Grantor
16
shall only be required to pledge outstanding capital stock of such surviving or
resulting Person possessing up to but not exceeding 66% of the voting power of
all classes of capital stock of such issuer entitled to vote; (ii) cause each
issuer of Pledged Shares not to issue any stock, other equity interests or other
securities in addition to or in substitution for the Pledged Shares issued by

have occurred and be continuing, (i) each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise
any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Securities
Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms
of this Agreement or the Financing Documents; provided, no Grantor shall
exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if Secured Party shall have
notified such Grantor that, in Secured Party's judgment, such action would have
a material adverse effect on the value of the Securities Collateral or any part
thereof; and provided further, such Grantor shall give Secured Party at least
five Business Days' prior written notice of the manner in which it intends to
exercise, or the reasons for refraining from exercising, any such right (it

Section, and no notice of any such voting or consent need be given to Secured
Party); (ii) each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain, any and all
dividends, other distributions and interest paid in respect of the Securities
Collateral, and all payments of principal on indebtedness owed to such Grantor
by Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, any and all (A) dividends,
--------
distributions and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and
instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in
respect of, or in exchange for, any Securities Collateral, and (B) dividends and
other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Securities
Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or

17
connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in-surplus,
and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in respect of principal or
in redemption of or in exchange for any Securities Collateral, (other than
payments of principal on indebtedness owed to such Grantor by Company or any of
its Subsidiaries) shall be, and shall forthwith be delivered to Secured Party to
hold as, Securities Collateral and shall, if received by such Grantor, be
received in trust for the benefit of Secured Party, be segregated from the other
property or funds of such Grantor and be forthwith delivered to Secured Party as
Securities Collateral in the same form as so received (with all necessary
endorsements); and (iii) Secured Party shall promptly execute and deliver (or
cause to be executed and delivered) to such Grantor all such proxies, dividend
payment orders and other instruments as such Grantor may from time to time
reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the
voting and other consensual rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to
clause (i) above and to receive the dividends, distributions, principal or
interest payments which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to
clause (ii) above.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, (x) upon written notice from Secured Party to any Grantor, all rights
of such Grantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it
would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease, and all
such rights shall thereupon become vested in Secured Party who shall thereupon
have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights; (y) all
rights of such Grantor to receive the dividends, other distributions and

such Grantor and shall forthwith be paid over to Secured Party as Securities
Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements).
In order to permit Secured Party to exercise the voting and other
consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to
receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to
receive hereunder, (I) each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause
to be executed and delivered) to Secured Party all such proxies, dividend
payment orders and other instruments as Secured Party may from time to time
reasonably request, and (II) without limiting the effect of clause (I) above,
each Grantor hereby grants to Secured Party an irrevocable proxy to vote the

any Pledged Shares on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other
Person (including the issuer of the Pledged Shares or any officer or agent

-----------------------------------------------------------
Collateral.
----------
(a) Each Grantor shall:
(i) diligently keep reasonable records respecting the
Intellectual Property Collateral and at all times keep at least one
complete set of its records concerning such Collateral at its chief
executive office or principal place of business;
(ii) use best efforts so as not to permit the inclusion in any
contract to which it hereafter becomes a party of any provision that could
or might in any way impair or prevent the creation of a security interest
in, or the assignment of, such Grantor's rights and interests in any
property included within the definitions of any Intellectual Property
Collateral acquired under such contracts;
(iii) take any and all reasonable steps to protect the secrecy
of all trade secrets relating to the products and services sold or
delivered under or in connection with the Intellectual Property Collateral,
including, without limitation, where appropriate entering into
confidentiality agreements with employees and labeling and restricting
access to secret information and documents;
(iv) use proper statutory notice in connection with its use of
any of the Intellectual Property Collateral;
(v) use a commercially appropriate standard of quality (which
may be consistent with such Grantor's past practices) in the manufacture,
sale and delivery of products and services sold or delivered under or in
connection with the Trademarks; and
(vi) furnish to Secured Party from time to time at Secured
Party's reasonable request statements and schedules further identifying and
describing any Intellectual Property Collateral and such other reports in
connection with such Collateral, all in reasonable detail.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11, each Grantor
shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due
to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property Collateral or any
portion thereof. In connection with such collections, each Grantor may take
(and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default at
Secured Party's reasonable direction, shall take) such action as such Grantor or
Secured Party may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to enforce collection
of such amounts; provided, Secured Party shall have the right at any time, upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and upon
written notice to such Grantor of its intention to do so, to notify the obligors
with respect to any such amounts of the existence of the security interest
created hereby and to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts
directly to Secured Party, and, upon such notification and at the expense of
such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or
compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same
extent as such Grantor might have done. After receipt by any Grantor of the
notice from Secured Party referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence
and during the continuation of any Event of Default, (i) all amounts and
proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by each Grantor in
respect of
19
amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property Collateral
or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of Secured
Party hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall
be forthwith paid over or delivered to Secured Party in the same form as so
received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and
applied as provided by Section 19, and (ii) such Grantor shall not adjust,
settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly
or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount
thereon.
(c) Each Grantor shall have the duty to prosecute, file and/or
make, unless and until each Grantor, in its commercially reasonable judgment,
decides otherwise, (i) any application relating to any of the Intellectual
Property Collateral owned, held or used by such Grantor and identified on
Schedules 2(f)(i), 2(f)(ii) or 2(f)(iii), as applicable, that is pending as of
the date of this Agreement, (ii) any Copyright Registration on any existing or
future unregistered but copyrightable works (except for works of nominal
commercial value or with respect to which such Grantor has determined in the
exercise of its commercially reasonable judgment that it shall not seek
registration), (iii) any application on any future patentable but unpatented
innovation or invention comprising Intellectual Property Collateral, (iv) any
Trademark opposition and cancellation proceedings, and (v) any renewals of
Trademark Registrations and Copyright Registrations. Unless and until each
Grantor, in its commercially reasonable judgment, decides otherwise, such
Grantor shall have the duty to perform any and all acts which are necessary or
desirable to preserve and maintain all rights in all Intellectual Property
Collateral. Any expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be borne solely
by Grantors. Subject to the foregoing, each Grantor shall give Secured Party
prior written notice of any abandonment of any material Intellectual Property
Collateral or any pending patent application or any Patent.
(d) Except as provided herein, each Grantor shall have the right to
commence and prosecute in its own name, as real party in interest, for its own
benefit and at its own expense, such suits, proceedings or other actions for
infringement, unfair competition, dilution, misappropriation or other damage, or
reexamination or reissue proceedings as are necessary to protect the
Intellectual Property Collateral. Secured Party shall provide, at such Grantor's
expense, all reasonable and necessary cooperation in connection with any such
suit, proceeding or action including, without limitation, joining as a necessary
party. Each Grantor shall promptly, following its becoming aware thereof, notify
Secured Party of the institution of, or of any adverse determination in, any
proceeding (whether in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United
States Copyright Office or any federal, state, local or foreign court) or
regarding such Grantor's ownership, right to use, or interest in any
Intellectual Property Collateral. Each Grantor shall provide to Secured Party
any information with respect thereto requested by Secured Party.
(e) In addition to, and not by way of limitation of, the granting
of a security interest in the Collateral pursuant hereto, each Grantor,
effective upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to Secured Party the nonexclusive
right and license to use all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents or
technical processes (including, without limitation, the Intellectual Property
Collateral) owned or used by such Grantor that relate to the Collateral and any
other collateral granted by such Grantor as security for the Secured
Obligations, together with any goodwill associated therewith, all to the extent
necessary to enable Secured Party to realize on the Collateral in accordance
with this Agreement and to enable any transferee or assignee of the Collateral
to enjoy the benefits of
20
the Collateral. This right shall inure to the benefit of all successors, assigns
and transferees of Secured Party and its successors, assigns and transferees,
whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of law, assignment, transfer,
foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. Such right and license
shall be granted free of charge, without requirement that any monetary payment
whatsoever be made to such Grantor. In addition, each Grantor hereby grants to
Secured Party and its employees, representatives and agents the right to visit
such Grantor's and any of its Affiliate's or subcontractor's plants, facilities
and other places of business that are utilized in connection with the
manufacture, production, inspection, storage or sale of products and services
sold or delivered under any of the Intellectual Property Collateral (or which
were so utilized during the prior six month period), and to inspect the quality
control and all other records relating thereto upon reasonable advance written
notice to such Grantor and at reasonable dates and times and as often as may be
reasonably requested. If and to the extent that any Grantor is permitted to
license the Intellectual Property Collateral, Secured Party shall promptly enter
into a non-disturbance agreement or other similar arrangement, at such Grantor's
request and expense, with such Grantor and any licensee of any Intellectual
Property Collateral permitted hereunder in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Secured Party pursuant to which (i) Secured Party shall agree
not to disturb or interfere with such licensee's rights under its license
agreement with such Grantor so long as such licensee is not in default
thereunder, and (ii) such licensee shall acknowledge and agree that the
Intellectual Property Collateral licensed to it is subject to the security
interest created in favor of Secured Party and the other terms of this
Agreement.
SECTION 12. Special Provisions With Respect to the Assigned Agreements.
----------------------------------------------------------
(a) Each Grantor shall at its expense:
(i) if consistent with sound business practices, perform and
observe all terms and provisions of the Assigned Agreements to be performed
or observed by it, maintain the Assigned Agreements in full force and
effect, enforce the Assigned Agreements in accordance with their terms, and
take all such action to such end as may be from time to time requested by
Secured Party; and
(ii) upon the reasonable request of Secured Party, furnish to
Secured Party, promptly upon receipt thereof, copies of all notices,
requests and other documents received by such Grantor under or pursuant to
the Assigned Agreements, and from time to time (A) furnish to Secured Party
such information and reports regarding the Assigned Agreements as Secured
Party may reasonably request and (B) upon request of Secured Party make to
the parties to such Assigned Agreements such demands and requests for
information and reports or for action as such Grantor is entitled to make
under the Assigned Agreements.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, no Grantor shall:
(i) cancel or terminate any of the Assigned Agreements or
consent to or accept any cancellation or termination thereof;
(ii) amend or otherwise modify the Assigned Agreements or give
any consent; waiver or approval thereunder;
21
(iii) waive any default under or breach of the Assigned
Agreements;
(iv) consent to or permit or accept any prepayment of amounts
to become due under or in connection with the Assigned Agreements, except
as expressly provided therein; or
(v) take any other action in connection with the Assigned
Agreements that could reasonably be expected to materially impair the value
of the interest or rights of such Grantor thereunder or that could
reasonably be expected to materially impair the interest or rights of
Secured Party.
SECTION 13. Collateral Account; Cash Management System.
------------------------------------------
(a) Collateral Account.
(i) Secured Party is hereby authorized to establish and
maintain at its office at Xxx Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx Xxx Xxxx as a blocked
account in the name of Company and under the sole dominion and control of
Secured Party, a restricted deposit account and a related restricted
investment account initially designated as "Total Renal Care Holdings, Inc.
Collateral Account"; provided that the name of such account shall be
--------
changed following any change of name of Total Renal Care Holdings, Inc. All
amounts at any time held in the Collateral Account shall be beneficially
owned by Grantors but shall be held in the name of Secured Party hereunder,
for the benefit of Lenders, as collateral security for the Secured
Obligations upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. Grantors shall
have no right to withdraw, transfer or, except as expressly set forth
herein, otherwise receive any funds deposited into the Collateral Account.
Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral
Account shall be subject to such applicable laws, and such applicable
regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and of
any other appropriate banking or governmental authority, as may now or
hereafter be in effect. All deposits of funds in the Collateral Account
shall be made by wire transfer (or, if applicable, by intra-bank transfer
from another account of a Grantor) of immediately available funds, in each
case addressed in accordance with instructions of Secured Party. Each
Grantor shall, promptly after initiating a transfer of funds to the
Collateral Account, give notice to Secured Party by telefacsimile of the
date, amount and method of delivery of such deposit. Funds held by Secured
Party in the Collateral Account shall be invested by Secured Party in Cash
Equivalents, as directed by Company, in accordance with the terms of an
investment account agreement to be entered into between Company and Secured
Party on or before the date that any funds shall be deposited into the
Collateral Account; provided that, upon the occurrence and during the
--------
continuance of any Event of Default, the Secured Party shall be entitled,
in its discretion, to direct the investments in the Collateral Account
(which shall consist of cash and Cash Equivalents). In the event of any
conflict between the terms of such investment account agreement and this
Agreement, this Agreement shall control. If no such investment account
agreement shall then be in effect, the funds held by Secured Party in the
Collateral Account shall not be invested by Secured Party but instead shall
be maintained as a cash deposit in the Collateral Account pending
application thereof as elsewhere provided in this Agreement. Subject to
Secured Party's rights hereunder, any interest, dividends or other amounts
earned on funds in the Collateral Account shall be deposited directly in,
and held in the Collateral Account.
22
(ii) Company shall be required to deposit funds into the
Collateral Account in accordance with Section 17(c) hereof. In addition,
Company and its Subsidiaries may from time to time deposit into the
Collateral Account cash proceeds received by Company or any of its
Subsidiaries in connection with any Asset Sale constituting the first
transaction of an Asset Swap Transaction pursuant to Section 7.16(b) of the
Revolving Credit Agreement and Section7.16(b) of the Term Loan Agreement.
If Company elects to prepay a portion of the Revolving Loans with an amount
equal to the Revolver Prepayment Fraction of all or any portion of the cash
proceeds received in connection with such Asset Sale pursuant to Section
7.16(b) of the Revolving Credit Agreement (or any comparable provision
thereof), Secured Party shall transfer the Term Prepayment Fraction of such
portion of the cash proceeds into a sub-account of the Collateral Account
maintained for the benefit of the Term Lenders (or, at the Secured Party's
option, a separate deposit account that will be subject to substantially
the same terms and conditions as the Collateral Account) (in either case,
the "Term Lenders' Sub-Account"). Unless the funds in the Term Lenders'
Sub-Account are released in accordance with Section 22(c), such funds shall
be held solely as Collateral for the benefit of the Term Lenders.
(b) Cash Management System. As promptly as possible after the
Effective Date, but in no event later than 30 days after the Effective Date,
each Grantor shall establish and at all times thereafter maintain, and shall
cause its Subsidiaries to establish and at all times thereafter maintain, the
cash management system as described in this Section 13(b) and Section 13(c);
provided, that Company may request extensions of the period to establish and
maintain such cash management system by delivering to Secured Party an officer's
certificate signed by an Authorized Signatory of Company certifying that Company
and Grantors have used their best efforts to establish and maintain such cash
management system within the time period permitted hereunder but were unable to
do so. Secured Party may, in its sole discretion, elect to grant such extensions
to a date not later than 180 days after the Effective Date, or such later date
as Requisite Obligees may in their sole discretion approve.
(i) General Restrictions. No Grantor shall maintain, or permit
any of its wholly owned Subsidiaries to maintain, funds in any Deposit
Account other than (t) New Concentration Accounts and other Deposit
Accounts maintained with Secured Party, (u) Governmental Health Receivable
Collection Accounts, (v) Non-Governmental Health Receivable Collection
Accounts, (w) accounts containing only funds of non-wholly owned
Subsidiaries and managed accounts, (x) Imprest Accounts, (y) Regional
Depositary Accounts, and (z) Other Deposit Accounts.
(ii) New Concentration Accounts and other Deposit Accounts with
Secured Party. Each Grantor shall establish and maintain one or more New
Concentration Accounts with Secured Party and may establish one or more
other Deposit Accounts with Secured Party. Grantors shall cause to be
deposited directly into a New Concentration Account all payments,
collections, proceeds and transfers received by such Grantor other than (x)
Governmental Health Receivable Proceeds, (y) funds of non-wholly owned
Subsidiaries and managed accounts, and (z) funds that are permitted to be
deposited into and retained in the Non-Governmental Health Receivable
Collection Accounts, Regional Depositary Accounts, Imprest Accounts, and
Other Deposit Accounts. Grantors shall not be required to cause any
Governmental Health Receivable
23
Proceeds to be directly deposited into any Deposit Account maintained with
Secured Party; provided, however, that Grantors shall instruct each
--------
financial institution at which a Governmental Health Receivable Collection
Account is maintained to transfer the funds in such accounts to a New
Concentration Account as set forth in clause (iii) below.
(iii) Governmental Health Receivable Collection Accounts.
Grantors shall cause all Governmental Health Receivable Proceeds to be
deposited directly in the Governmental Health Receivable Collection
Accounts, and shall not permit any funds other than Governmental Health
Receivable Proceeds to be deposited in or transferred to the Governmental
Receivable Collection Accounts. Grantors shall instruct the depositary
institutions at which the Governmental Receivable Collection Accounts are
maintained to transfer the funds in such accounts to a New Concentration
Account no less frequently than daily. Grantors shall either transfer the
Governmental Health Receivable Collection Account maintained by Total Renal
Care at Seafirst Bank to Bank of America, N.A., and cause such account to
be domiciled in California, or close such account. Grantors shall retain
the power to revoke their instructions to the depositary institutions
referred to in this clause regarding transfer of funds in the Governmental
Health Receivable Collection Accounts; provided that Grantors shall give
--------
notice to the Revolving Agent and Term Agent simultaneously with any such
revocation, and any such revocation shall constitute an Event of Default
under both the Revolving Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement.
Grantors may continue to maintain any Governmental Health Receivable
Collection Account in existence on the Effective Date that is maintained
with the Secured Party. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, if Grantors maintain any Governmental Health Receivable
Collection Accounts with the Secured Party, Grantors shall have sole
dominion and control over such accounts; provided, that Grantors shall
--------
instruct Secured Party to transfer the funds in any Governmental Receivable
Collection Accounts maintained with Secured Party to transfer the funds in
such accounts to a New Concentration Account no less frequently than daily
(subject to Grantors' rights to revoke such instructions as set forth in
this clause (iii)).
(iv) Non-Governmental Health Receivable Collection Accounts.
Renal Treatment Centers may establish and maintain a Non-Governmental
Health Receivable Collection Account with First Union National Bank, and
Total Renal Care Inc. may establish and maintain a Non-Governmental Health
Receivable Collection Account with Seafirst Seattle Bank. TRC Nations-
Florida Regional may establish and maintain a Non-Governmental Health
Receivable Collection Account with Bank of America and TRC Minnesota
Regional may establish and maintain a Non-Governmental Health Receivable
Collection Account with Xxxxx Fargo Bank. Grantors shall not permit any
Governmental Health Receivable Proceeds to be directly deposited into any
Non-Governmental Health Receivable Collection Account. Grantors will cause
each depositary institution at which any Non-Governmental Health Receivable
Collection Account is maintained to enter into a blocked account agreement,
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party, which shall
provide that all funds in such accounts constitute Collateral, that the
depositary bank at which such account is maintained shall waive its rights
of setoff other than for payment of fees and expenses for such account,
shall grant dominion and control of such account to Secured Party, and
24
shall provide that all funds therein shall be transferred to a New
Concentration Account no less frequently than daily.
(v) Regional Depositary Accounts, Imprest Accounts and Other
Deposit Accounts. Grantors will not permit any Governmental Health
Receivable Proceeds to be deposited directly into any Regional Depositary
Accounts. Grantors shall not permit any funds to be deposited in or
transferred to any Imprest Account other than funds received from other
Grantors. Grantors shall not use any Imprest Account for purposes other
than funding local operating expenses of Grantors and their Subsidiaries.
Grantors will not permit the aggregate amount of cash in the Regional
Depositary Accounts, Imprest Accounts and Other Deposit Accounts to exceed
$750,000 at any time.
(vi) Reports. Not later than 40 days after the end of each
month Grantors shall deliver to each Lender a report showing the aggregate
amount of Governmental Health Receivable Proceeds received during such
month and the aggregate amount of transfers and deposits to and from the
Governmental Health Receivable Collection Accounts and the New
Concentration Accounts. Such report shall contain a certification by an
Authorized Signatory of Grantors that the Governmental Health Receivable
Collection Accounts contains only proceeds of Governmental Health
Receivables and no other funds.
(vii) Control over Deposit Accounts. Except as set forth in
the last sentence of Section 13(b)(iii), all Deposit Accounts of the
Grantors that are maintained at Secured Party (including, without
limitation, the New Concentration Accounts but excluding any Governmental
Health Receivable Collection Accounts) shall be under the sole dominion and
control of Secured Party, and Grantors shall have no access to or any right
to draw upon or withdraw any funds from any such Deposit Accounts without
the prior consent of Secured Party in each instance. In the event of any
conflict between the terms of any agreement between a Grantor and Secured
Party establishing a Deposit Account and the terms of this Agreement, this
Agreement shall govern. The consent of the Secured Party given in one or
more instances shall not be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions
hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Party and Lenders hereby
consent to withdrawals or transfers from the New Concentration Accounts of
any Grantor to fund due and payable costs payable in the ordinary course of
business or other uses permitted by the Financing Documents; provided that
--------
Secured Party may at any time, without notice, revoke the consent of the
Secured Party and Lenders to withdrawals or transfers from such Deposit
Accounts if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or
would result from the withdrawal or transfer from such account or the
application of the funds so withdrawn or transferred. All funds in the
Deposit Accounts in name of any Grantor are the property of such Grantor.
All Deposit Accounts and all funds therein constitute Collateral hereunder
and are subject to the security interest created herein in favor of the
Secured Party for the benefit of the Secured Parties.
(viii) Restricted Investment Accounts. Each Grantor may
establish one or more restricted investment accounts (each, a "Restricted
Investment Account") with Secured Party or any of its Subsidiaries in the
name of such Grantor. The terms of any Restricted Investment Accounts shall
be set forth in the applicable investment account agreement between such
Grantor and Secured Party or its Subsidiary, as the case may be, provided,
--------
that in the event of any conflict between the terms of such investment
25
account agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control. The
Restricted Investment Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control
of Secured Party and Grantors shall have no access to or any right to draw
upon or withdraw any funds from any such Restricted Investment Accounts
without the prior consent of Secured Party in each instance. Consent of the
Secured Party given in one or more instances shall not be deemed a waiver
of any of the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured
Party and Lenders hereby consent to transfers from the Restricted
Investment Accounts to any Deposit Account maintained with Secured Party
(other than a Governmental Health Receivable Collection Account). All funds
in the Restricted Investment Accounts in name of any Grantor are the
property of such Grantor. All Restricted Investment Accounts and all
financial assets therein constitute Collateral hereunder and are subject to
the security interest created herein in favor of the Secured Party for the
benefit of the Secured Parties.
(c) Definitions. In addition to the terms defined in the
Preliminary Statements and in other Sections of this Agreement, as used in this
Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings unless the
context otherwise requires:
"Governmental Health Receivable Collection Account" means any Deposit
Account into which account debtors on Governmental Health Receivables make
payments in respect thereof (such payments being "Governmental Health
Receivable Proceeds"), which account is in existence on the date hereof and
identified on Schedule 13(c) as such or established after the date hereof
with the consent of Secured Party.
"Imprest Accounts" means the deposit accounts listed as such on
Schedule 13(c) hereof and any additional accounts established by any
Grantor after the date hereof with the prior written consent of Secured
Party.
"New Concentration Account" means any deposit account established

Party.
"Regional Deposit Accounts" means the deposit accounts listed as such
on Schedule 13(c) hereof and any additional accounts established by any
Grantor after the date hereof with the prior written consent of Secured
Party.
SECTION 14. Secured Party Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.
----------------------------------------
Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party as such
Grantor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such
Grantor and in the name of
26
such Grantor, Secured Party or otherwise, from time to time in Secured Party's
discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that Secured Party
may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement,
including without limitation:
(a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such
Grantor or paid to Secured Party pursuant to Section 8;
(b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to ask for, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and
give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in
respect of any of the Collateral;
(c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments,
documents and chattel paper in connection with clauses (a) and (b) above;
(d) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that
Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the
Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Secured Party with respect to
any of the Collateral;
(e) to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Liens permitted
under this Agreement or the Financing Documents or taxes that are not yet due
and payable or that are being contested by Grantors in good faith by appropriate
proceedings) levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the
legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to
be determined by Secured Party in its sole discretion, any such payments made by
Secured Party to become obligations of such Grantor to Secured Party, due and
payable immediately without demand;
(f) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of
lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments,
verifications and notices in connection with Accounts and other documents
relating to the Collateral; and
(g) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to
or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though
Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at
Secured Party's option and Grantors' expense, at any time or from time to time,
all acts and things that Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or
realize upon the Collateral and Secured Party's security interest therein in
order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as
such Grantor might do.
SECTION 15. Secured Party May Perform.
-------------------------
If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein,
Secured Party may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and
the expenses of Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable
by Grantors under Section 20(b).
27
SECTION 16. Standard of Care.
----------------
The powers conferred on Secured Party 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 exercise of reasonable care in the custody of
any Collateral in its possession, or as required by Section 9-207 of the UCC,
Secured Party 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. Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession
if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which
Secured Party accords its own property.
SECTION 17. Remedies.
--------
(a) Generally. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition
to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to
it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC
(whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i)
require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its
expense and upon request of Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of the
Collateral as directed by Secured Party and make it available to Secured Party
at a place to be designated by Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to
both parties, (ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and
take possession thereof with or without judicial process, (iii) prior to the
disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the
Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to
the extent Secured Party deems appropriate, (iv) take possession of any
Grantor's premises or place custodians in exclusive control thereof, remain on
such premises and use the same and any of such Grantor's equipment for the
purpose of completing any work in process, taking any actions described in the
preceding clause (iii) and collecting any Secured Obligation, (v) without notice
except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or
more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Secured Party's offices or
elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and
at such price or prices and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem
commercially reasonable, (vi) exercise dominion and control over and refuse to
permit further withdrawals from any Deposit Account maintained with Secured
Party or any Lender constituting a part of the Collateral and (vii) without
notice to any Grantor, transfer to or to register in the name of Secured Party
or any of its nominees any or all of the Securities Collateral. Secured Party or
any Lender or Interest Rate Exchanger may be the purchaser of any or all of the
Collateral at any such public sale and, to the extent permitted by law, private
sale and Secured Party, as agent for and representative of Lenders and Interest
Rate Exchangers (but not any Lender or Interest Rate Exchanger in its individual
capacity unless Requisite Obligees shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be
entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the
purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public
sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of
the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Secured Party at such sale.
Each 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 applicable law) all rights of redemption,
stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have
under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor
agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten
days' notice to such Grantor of the time
28
and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be
made shall constitute reasonable notification. Secured Party shall not be
obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having
been given. Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to
time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may,
without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so
adjourned. If the proceeds of any sale of the Collateral are insufficient to pay
all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be jointly and severally liable for
the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by Secured Party to
collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the
covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to Secured
Party, that Secured Party has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such
breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this
Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and each Grantor
hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for
specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has
occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior
to their stated maturities.
(b) Securities Collateral.
(i) Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain
prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws, Secured Party may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any
part of the Securities Collateral conducted without prior registration or
qualification of such Securities Collateral under the Securities Act and/or such
state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other
things, to acquire the Securities Collateral for their own account, for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each
Grantor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms
less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such
restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration
statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances and
the registration rights granted to Secured Party by such Grantor pursuant
hereto, each Grantor agrees that Secured Party may sell Securities Collateral by
private sale and any such private sale shall not, by virtue of being private, be
deemed to be commercially unreasonable. Each Grantor agrees that Secured Party
shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay
the sale of any Securities Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit
the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring
registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws,
even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If Secured Party
determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Securities
Collateral, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer
of any Pledged Shares to be sold hereunder from time to time to furnish to
Secured Party all such information as Secured Party may request in order to
determine the number of shares and other instruments included in the Securities
Collateral which may be sold by Secured Party in exempt transactions under the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.
(ii) If Secured Party shall determine to exercise its right to
sell all or any of the Securities Collateral pursuant to this Section, each
Grantor agrees that, upon request of Secured Party (which request may be made by
Secured Party in its sole discretion), such Grantor will, at its own expense (A)
execute and deliver, and use its best
29
efforts to cause each issuer of the Securities Collateral contemplated to be
sold and the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such
instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and
things, as may be necessary or, in the opinion of Secured Party, advisable to
register such Securities Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act
and to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto
to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are
required by law to be furnished, and to make all amendments and supplements
thereto and to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of Secured Party,
are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission applicable thereto; (B) use its best efforts to qualify the
Securities Collateral under all applicable state securities or "Blue Sky" laws
and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of the
Securities Collateral, as requested by Secured Party; (C) cause each such issuer
to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings
statement which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities
Act; (D) use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts and
things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Securities Collateral or any
part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law; and (E)
bear all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, of carrying
out its obligations under this Section.
(iii) Without limiting the generality of subsections 11.5 and
11.11 of the Financing Documents, in the event of any public sale described
herein, each Grantor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Secured Party, and
each Lender and each Interest Rate Exchanger and each of their respective
directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any loss, fee, cost,
expense, damage, liability or claim, joint or several, to which any such Persons
may become subject or for which any of them may be liable, under the Securities
Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, fees, costs, expenses, damages,
liabilities or claims (or any litigation commenced or threatened in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus,
registration statement, prospectus or other such document published or filed in
connection with such public sale, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse Secured Party and such
other Persons for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Secured
Party and such other Persons in connection with any litigation, of any nature
whatsoever, commenced or threatened in respect thereof (including any and all
fees, costs and expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred by Secured Party and
such other Persons and counsel for Secured Party and such other Persons in
investigating, preparing for, defending against or providing evidence, producing
documents or taking any other action in respect of, any such commenced or
threatened litigation or any claims asserted). This indemnity shall be in
addition to any liability which any Grantor may otherwise have and shall extend
upon the same terms and conditions to each Person, if any, that controls Secured
Party or such Persons within the meaning of the Securities Act.
(c) Collateral Account. If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and, in accordance with Section 9.1 of the Revolving Credit
Agreement, Company is required to pay to Secured Party an amount (the "Aggregate
Available Amount") equal to the
30
maximum amount that may at any time be drawn under all Letters of Credit then
outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement, Company shall deliver funds in
such an amount for deposit in the Collateral Account. If for any reason the
aggregate amount delivered by Company for deposit in the Collateral Account as
aforesaid is less than the Aggregate Available Amount, the aggregate amount so
delivered by Company shall be apportioned among all outstanding Letters of
Credit for purposes of this Section in accordance with the ratio of the maximum
amount available for drawing under each such Letter of Credit (as to such Letter
of Credit, the "Maximum Available Amount") to the Aggregate Available Amount.
Upon any drawing under any outstanding Letter of Credit in respect of which
Company has deposited in the Collateral Account any amounts described above,
Secured Party shall apply such amounts to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer
for the amount of such drawing. In the event of cancellation or expiration of
any Letter of Credit in respect of which Company has deposited in the Collateral
Account any amounts described above, or in the event of any reduction in the
Maximum Available Amount under such Letter of Credit, Secured Party shall apply
the amount then on deposit in the Collateral Account in respect of such Letter

which Company has failed to pay all or a portion of the amounts described above
(such cash collateralization to be apportioned among all such Letters of Credit
in the manner described above), third, to the extent of any further excess, to
the payment of any other outstanding Secured Obligations in such order as
Secured Party shall elect, and fourth, to the extent of any further excess, to
the payment to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive such funds.

(a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) Secured
Party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit, in the name

do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by Secured
Party in aid of such enforcement and each Grantor shall promptly, upon demand,
reimburse and indemnify Secured Party as provided in Sections 11.5 and 11.11 of
the Revolving Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement and Section 20
hereof, as applicable, in connection with the exercise of its rights under this
Section, and, to the extent that Secured Party shall elect not to bring suit to
enforce any Intellectual Property Collateral as provided in this Section, each
Grantor agrees to use all reasonable measures, whether by action, suit,
proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement of any of the Intellectual
Property Collateral by others and for that purpose agrees to use its
commercially reasonable judgment in maintaining any action, suit or proceeding
against any Person so infringing reasonably necessary to prevent such
infringement; (ii) upon written demand from Secured Party, each Grantor shall
execute and deliver to Secured Party an assignment or assignments of the
Intellectual Property Collateral and such other documents as are necessary or
appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement; (iii) each

(or any Lender) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other
realization upon, the Intellectual Property Collateral; and (iv) within five
Business Days after written notice from
31
Secured Party, each Grantor shall make available to Secured Party, to the extent
within such Grantor's power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor's
employ on the date of such Event of Default as Secured Party may reasonably
designate, by name, title or job responsibility, to permit such Grantor to
continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products
and services sold or delivered by such Grantor under or in connection with the
Trademarks, Trademark Registrations and Trademark Rights, such persons to be
available to perform their prior functions on Secured Party's behalf and to be
compensated by Secured Party at such Grantor's expense on a per diem, pro-rata
basis consistent with the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of
the date of such Event of Default.
(b) If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of
cure, waiver, modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing,
(ii) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an
assignment to Secured Party of any rights, title and interests in and to the
Intellectual Property Collateral shall have been previously made, and (iv) the
Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the
written request of any Grantor, Secured Party shall promptly execute and deliver
to such Grantor such assignments as may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor
any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to Secured Party
as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by
Secured Party; provided, after giving effect to such reassignment, Secured
Party's security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights
and remedies of Secured Party granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full
force and effect; and provided further, the rights, title and interests so
reassigned shall be free and clear of all Liens other than Liens (if any)
encumbering such rights, title and interest at the time of their assignment to
Secured Party and Permitted Liens.

realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in the
following order of priority:

(a) Grantors jointly and severally agree to indemnify Secured Party,
each Lender and each Interest Rate Exchanger from and against any and all
claims, losses and liabilities in any way relating to, growing out of or
resulting from this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby
(including without limitation enforcement of this Agreement), except to the
extent such claims, losses or liabilities result solely from Secured Party's or
such Lender's or Interest Rate Exchanger's gross negligence or willful
misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) Grantors jointly and severally agree to pay to Secured Party upon
demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable
fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that Secured

obligations under this Agreement and the Financing Documents and (ii), as to any
Grantor that is a party to a Subsidiary Guaranty, be subject to the provisions
of Section 2.1(b) thereof.
SECTION 21. Continuing Security Interest; Transfer of Loans; Termination and
----------------------------------------------------------------
Release.
-------
(a) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the
Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the payment in
full of the Secured Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification and
reimbursement obligations under the Financing Documents that are not then due
and payable), the cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the
cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit, (ii) be binding
upon Grantors and their respective successors and assigns, and (iii) inure,
together with the rights and remedies of Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit
of Secured Party and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing clause (iii), (A) but subject to the provisions
of subsection 11.7 of the Financing Documents, any Lender may assign or
otherwise transfer any Loans held by it to any other Person, and such other
Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof
granted to Lenders herein or otherwise and (B) any Interest Rate Exchanger may
assign or otherwise transfer any Interest Rate Agreement to which it is a party
to any other Person in accordance with the terms of such Interest Rate
Agreement, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the
benefits in respect thereof granted to Interest Rate Exchangers herein or
otherwise.
(b) Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than
inchoate indemnification and reimbursement obligations under the Financing
Documents that are not then due and payable), the cancellation or termination of
the Commitments and the cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Letters of
Credit, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to
the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Grantors. Upon any such
termination Secured Party will, at Grantors' expense, execute and deliver to
Grantors such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination. In addition, upon the proposed
33
sale, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral by a Grantor in accordance
with the Financing Documents for which such Grantor desires to obtain a security
interest release from Secured Party, such Grantor shall deliver an Officer's
Certificate (x) stating that the Collateral subject to such disposition is being
sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in compliance with the terms of the
Financing Documents and (y) specifying the Collateral being sold, transferred or
otherwise disposed of in the proposed transaction. Upon the receipt of such
Officer's Certificate, Secured Party shall, at Grantor's expense, so long as
Secured Party has no reason to believe that the Officer's Certificate delivered
by such Grantor with respect to such sale is not true and correct, execute and
deliver such releases of its security interest in such Collateral which is to be
so sold, transferred or disposed of, as may be reasonably requested by such
Grantor.
SECTION 22. Releases of Collateral; Reinstatement of Security Interest
----------------------------------------------------------
(a) Release of Collateral upon meeting of Leverage Ratio Test.
Company may at any time before September 30, 2002, request the release of the
Collateral and the termination of Secured Party's security interest therein by
delivering an officers' certificate from Company (i) certifying that (x) the
Leverage Ratio (as such term is defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement and
the Term Loan Agreement) is less than 3.50:1.00 as calculated at the time of
such release and at all times during the four consecutive fiscal quarters period
most recently ended on or before such release for which financial statements of
Company have been delivered to the Revolving Agent and the Term Agent pursuant
to the Revolving Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement, (y) no Default or
Event of Default exists or would exist immediately before or after giving effect
to such release, and (z) all representations and warranties made by the Loan
Parties in the Revolving Loan Documents and the Term Loan Documents are true and
correct on the date of such certificate immediately before or after giving
effect thereto as though made on that date, except to the extent such
representations and warranties specifically related to an earlier date, in which
case they were true and correct on such earlier date, and (ii) setting forth
calculations, in the same level of detail as required by the Compliance
Certificate, of the Leverage Ratio as of the time of such release. Upon receipt
by Secured Party of such officer's certificate before September 30, 2002,
Secured Party will, at the Loan Parties' expense, execute and deliver to the
applicable Loan Parties such documents as such Loan Parties shall reasonably
request to evidence the termination of the security interest granted by this
Agreement and the other Collateral Documents in the Collateral and the Loan
Parties shall be entitled to the return, upon their request and at their
expense, against receipt and without recourse to Secured Party, of such of the
Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the
terms hereof, the Collateral Documents, or the Intercreditor Agreement. Upon
such receipt by the Loan Parties of such remaining Collateral, the security
interest granted by the Collateral Documents in the Collateral shall terminate
and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Loan Parties.
(b) Release of Collateral Upon Asset Sale. Upon receipt by Secured
Party from time to time of a request from Company for the release of Collateral
from the Liens created by the Collateral Documents in connection with a sale
permitted under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement,
Secured Party shall, satisfaction of the conditions for release set forth in the
applicable Financing Documents (including, without limitation, evidence
satisfactory to Secured Party that the proceeds of the sale of such Collateral
will be applied to the payment of the obligations of the Revolving Credit
Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement to the extent required thereby), execute
such instruments and take such other actions as are
34
reasonably necessary or desirable to terminate and release the Lien of the
Collateral Documents on the specified portions of the Collateral. If a release
of Collateral pursuant to this Section 22(c) constitutes the release of all of
the shares of stock of a Guarantor in connection with the sale or other
disposition of such shares as permitted under the Revolving Credit Agreement and
the Term Loan Agreement, and the conditions for a release of the Liens of the
Revolving Credit Agreement and Term Loan Agreement are otherwise satisfied,
Secured Party shall also release the Guarantor being sold or otherwise disposed
of from all liability under the Subsidiary Guaranty.
(c) Release of Net Cash Proceeds in connection with Asset Swaps.
Company and its Subsidiaries may from time to time deposit into the Collateral
Account Net Cash Proceeds received by Company or any of its Subsidiaries in
connection with any Asset Sale constituting the first transaction of an Asset
Swap Transaction. Upon receipt by Secured Party from time to time of a request
from Company for the release of such Collateral from the Liens created by the
this Agreement in connection with the consummation of the second transaction in
such Asset Swap Transaction, Secured Party shall, satisfaction of the conditions
for release set forth in the applicable Financing Documents (including, without
limitation, evidence satisfactory to Secured Party that such Collateral will be
applied to the payment of the obligations in connection with the second
transaction in such Asset Swap Transaction, and that the remainder, if any, of
such Collateral will applied to the payment of the obligations of the Revolving
Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement to the extent required thereby),
release such Collateral from the Collateral Account.
(d) Effect of Certain Releases of Collateral. Upon the release of the
Collateral pursuant to Section 22(a), Sections 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14,
17, 18, and 19 shall cease to be operative. All other provisions hereof
including, without limitation, Sections 13(b) and 22(e), shall survive release
of all Collateral pursuant to Section 22(a).
(e) Reinstatement of Security Interest. If at any time after the
release of any Collateral under Section 22(a), either the Leverage Ratio shall
exceed 3.50:1.00, or any Event of Default shall occur, (x) the security interest
created by this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents shall automatically
and without action by any party be reinstated, (y) all provisions contained
herein the operation of which was suspended pursuant to Section 22(d) shall
immediately become and thereafter remain operative, and (z) Company and each of
its wholly owned Domestic Subsidiaries shall promptly take all actions required
by Section 6 hereof or otherwise in order to perfect the security interest
created hereby in the Collateral.
SECTION 23. Secured Party as Agent.
----------------------
(a) Secured Party has been appointed to act as Secured Party
hereunder pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement by the Revolving Agent on
behalf of the Revolving Lenders, the Term Agent on behalf of the Term Lenders
and each Interest Rate Exchanger and shall be entitled to the benefits of the
Intercreditor Agreement. Secured Party shall be obligated, and shall have the
right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from
exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including
without limitation the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in
accordance with this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Financing
Documents.
35
(b) Secured Party shall at all times be the same Person that is
Collateral Agent under the Intercreditor Agreement. Resignation by the
Collateral Agent pursuant to subsection 6(g) of the Intercreditor Agreement
shall also constitute notice of resignation as Secured Party under this
Agreement; removal of the Collateral Agent pursuant to subsection 6(g) of the
Intercreditor Agreement shall also constitute removal as Secured Party under
this Agreement; and appointment of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to
subsection 6(g) of the Intercreditor Agreement shall also constitute appointment
of a successor Secured Party under this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Collateral Agent under the Intercreditor Agreement, that
successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all
the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Secured
Party under this Agreement, and the retiring or removed Secured Party under this
Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Secured Party all sums,
securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder, together with all
records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the
performance of the duties of the successor Secured Party under this Agreement,
and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Secured Party such amendments to
financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or
appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Secured Party of
the security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed
Secured Party shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this
Agreement. After any retiring or removed Secured Party's resignation or removal
hereunder as Secured Party, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this
Agreement while it was Secured Party hereunder.
SECTION 24. Additional Grantors.
-------------------
The initial Subsidiary Grantors hereunder shall be such of the
Subsidiaries of Company as are signatories hereto on the date hereof. From time
to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Subsidiaries of Company may
become parties hereto as additional Grantors (each an "Additional Grantor"), by
executing a Counterpart substantially in the form of Exhibit VI annexed hereto.
----------
Upon delivery of any such Counterpart to Secured Party, notice of which is
hereby waived by Grantors, each such Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and
shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Grantor were an original
signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising
hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any
other Grantor hereunder, nor by any election of Administrative Agent not to
cause any Subsidiary of Company to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This
Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor that is or becomes a party
hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or
ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.
SECTION 25. Amendments; Etc.
----------------
No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom, shall
in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by
Secured Party and, in the case of any such amendment or modification, by
Grantors; provided this Agreement may be modified by the execution of a
--------
Counterpart by an Additional Grantor in accordance with Section 24 and Grantors
hereby waive any requirement of notice of or consent to any such amendment. Any
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the specific purpose for which it was given.
36
SECTION 26. Notices.
-------
Any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be
given shall be in writing and may be personally served, telexed or sent by

--------
Secured Party shall not be effective until received. For the purposes hereof,
the address of each party hereto shall be as set forth under such party's name
on the signature pages hereof or such other address as shall be designated by
such party in a written notice delivered to the other parties hereto.
SECTION 27. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.
-----------------------------------------------------
No failure or delay on the part of Secured Party in the exercise of
any power, right or privilege hereunder shall impair such power, right or
privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or
privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative
to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
SECTION 28. Severability.
------------
In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such
provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.

for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this
Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.
