SECURITY AGREEMENT
SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of August 15, 2007, made by TAL
International Container Corporation, a Delaware corporation (together with its
successors and permitted assigns, "Debtor") in favor of National City Bank, as
collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors (as defined below) (in
such capacities and (in either case) together with any successor collateral
agent, the "Collateral Agent").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Debtor, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the
"Lenders"), and National City Bank, as administrative agent (together with any
successor administrative agent, the "Administrative Agent" or the "Collateral
Agent"), have entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of August 15, 2007,
providing for the making of Loans to the Debtor (the Lenders, the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent are herein called the "Lender Creditors") (as
used herein, the term "Credit Agreement" means the Credit Agreement described
above in this paragraph, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified,
extended, renewed, replaced, restated, supplemented and/or refinanced from time
to time, and including any agreement extending the maturity of, or refinancing
or restructuring (including, but not limited to, the inclusion of additional
obligors or guarantors thereunder or any increase in the amount borrowed) of all
or any portion of, the Obligations under such Credit Agreement);
WHEREAS, the Debtor may at any time and from time to time enter into
one or more Hedging Agreements (the "Applicable Hedging Agreements") with one or
more Hedge Counterparties;

collectively referred to herein as the "Secured Creditors";
WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to (i) the making of Loans to
the Debtor under the Credit Agreement and (ii) the Hedge Counterparties entering
into Applicable Hedging Agreements, that the Debtor shall have executed and
delivered this Agreement to the Collateral Agent; and
WHEREAS, the Debtor will obtain benefits from the incurrence of
Loans under the Credit Agreement and by entering into Applicable Hedging
Agreements and, accordingly, desires to execute this Agreement in order to
satisfy the conditions described in the preceding recitals and to induce the
Lenders to make Loans to the Debtor and for the Hedge Counterparties to enter
into Applicable Hedging Agreements with the Debtor;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the benefits accruing to the
Debtor, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Debtor
hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Collateral
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors and hereby covenants and agrees
with the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors as follows:

subject to a Permitted Lien under Sections 9.3(vi), 9.3(viii), 9.3(xii) or
9.3(xiv) of the Credit Agreement if and to the extent the existence of a
security interest in such personal property or fixtures would constitute a
violation of a valid and enforceable restriction in favor of the holder of
such Permitted Lien or give the holder of such Permitted Lien the right to
terminate it agreements or facilities with Debtor;
(ii) all of the personal property and fixtures (and all rights
therein) of the Debtor, or in which or to which the Debtor has any rights,

Sections 9.4(ii), 9.4(xv) and 9.4(xvi) of the Credit Agreement and subject
to a Permitted Lien under Sections 9.3(xv) of the Credit Agreement (which

Credit Agreement related to the applicable Permitted Indebtedness under
Section 9.4(ii), 9.4(xv) or 9.4(xvi));

respect of Refinancing Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 9.4(ix)
of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that the scope of Permitted
Liens under Section 9.3(xv) of the Credit Agreement in respect of

shall be substantially the same as the scope of Permitted Liens of the
Indebtedness being Refinanced by such Refinancing Indebtedness;
(iv) any Vehicles and Commercial Tort Claims (other than
Subject Commercial Tort Claims);
(v) any leaseholds;
(vi) all Leases and other Related Assets (as defined in the

operation of Section 1.1(b)(iv) above;
(vii) any Investment Property constituting an interest in a
Subsidiary of the Debtor;
(viii) any Software and software licenses (including the
Container Management System), to the extent the grant of a security
interest in any such property or right would (A) constitute a violation of
a valid and enforceable restriction in favor of a third party on such
grant, unless and until any required consents shall have been obtained, or
(B) give any other party to such contract, instrument, license or other
document the right to terminate its obligations thereunder;
(ix) any Collateral subject, by the terms of the Securitization

Agreement extend to all Collateral which the Debtor may acquire, or with respect
to which the Debtor may obtain rights, at any time during the term of this

and expense) as may be required under the respective United States, State or
other laws referenced in Section 9-311(a) of the UCC to perfect the security
interests granted herein in any Collateral where the filing of a financing

ARTICLE III
SPECIAL PROVISIONS CONCERNING ACCOUNTS; CONTRACT RIGHTS;
INSTRUMENTS; CHATTEL PAPER AND CERTAIN OTHER COLLATERAL
3.1. Direction to Account Debtors; Contracting Parties; etc
Subject to the terms of the Securitization Intercreditor Agreement, upon the

Collateral Agent so directs the Debtor, the Debtor agrees (x) to cause all
payments on account of the Accounts and Contracts constituting, arising out of,
or relating to, the Collateral to be made directly to a Collateral Account, (y)
that the Collateral Agent may, at its option, directly notify the obligors with
respect to any such Accounts and/or under any such Contracts to make payments
with respect thereto as provided in the preceding clause (x), and (z) that the
Collateral Agent may enforce collection of any such Accounts and Contracts and
may adjust, settle or compromise the amount of payment thereof, in the same
manner and to the same extent as the Debtor. Without notice to or assent by the
Debtor, the Collateral Agent may, upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of a Designated Event of Default, apply any or all amounts then in, or
thereafter deposited in, a Collateral Account toward the payment of the
Obligations in the manner provided in Section 7.4 of this Agreement. The
reasonable costs and expenses of collection (including reasonable attorneys'
fees), whether incurred by the Debtor or the Collateral Agent, shall be borne by
the Debtor. The Collateral Agent shall deliver a copy of each notice referred to
in the preceding clause (y) to the Debtor, provided that (x) the failure by the
Collateral Agent to so notify the Debtor shall not affect the effectiveness of
such notice or the other rights of the Collateral Agent created by this Section
3.1 and (y) no such notice shall be required if an Event of Default of the type
described in Section 13.1(h) of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is
continuing.
3.2. Collection. The Debtor shall endeavor in accordance with
its customary business practices to cause to be collected from the account
debtor named in each of its Accounts constituting Collateral or obligor under
any lease constituting, arising out of, or relating to the Collateral, as and
when due (including, without limitation, amounts which are delinquent, such
amounts to be collected in accordance with generally accepted lawful collection
procedures) any and all amounts owing under or on account of such Account or
lease, and apply forthwith upon receipt thereof all such amounts as are so
collected to the outstanding balance of such Account or under such lease. Except
as otherwise directed by the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during
the continuation of a Designated Event of Default, the Debtor may allow, in the
ordinary course of business and in accordance with the terms of the Credit and
Collection Policy in effect from time to time, as adjustments to amounts owing
under its Accounts and leases (i) an extension or renewal of the time or times
of payment, or settlement for less than the total unpaid balance, which the
Debtor finds appropriate in accordance with its business judgment and (ii) a
refund or credit due as a result of improperly performed services or for other
reasons which the Debtor finds appropriate in accordance with reasonable
business judgment. The reasonable costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) of collection, whether incurred by the
Debtor or the Collateral Agent, shall be borne by the Debtor.
3.3. Debtor Remains Liable Under Contracts. Anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding, the Debtor shall remain liable under each of the
Contracts which arise out of, or relate to, any of the Collateral to observe and
perform all of the conditions and obligations to be
- 8 -
observed and performed by them thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant
to the terms and provisions of each Contract. Neither the Collateral Agent nor
any other Secured Creditor shall have any obligation or liability under any
Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Creditor of any payment relating to such
Contract pursuant hereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any other Secured
Creditor be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of the
Debtor under or pursuant to any Contract, to make any payment, to make any
inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any performance by any party
under any Contract, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce
any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been
assigned to them or to which they may be entitled at any time or times.
3.4. Chattel Paper. Upon the request of the Collateral Agent
following the occurrence of a Designated Event of Default made at any time or
from time to time, the Debtor shall promptly furnish to the Collateral Agent a
list of all Electronic Chattel Paper which constitutes, arises out of, or
relates to, the Collateral held or owned by the Debtor valued in excess of
$1,000,000. Furthermore, if requested by the Collateral Agent following the
occurrence of a Designated Event of Default, the Debtor shall promptly take all
actions which are reasonably practicable so that the Collateral Agent has
"control" of all Electronic Chattel Paper which constitutes, arises out of, or
relates to, the Collateral valued in excess of $1,000,000 in accordance with the
requirements of Section 9-105 of the UCC. The Debtor will promptly (and in any
event within 10 Business Days) following any request by the Collateral Agent
following the occurrence of a Designated Event of Default, deliver all of its
Tangible Chattel Paper which constitutes, arises out of, or relates to, the
Collateral valued in excess of $1,000,000 to the Collateral Agent. The Debtor
hereby agrees not to deliver any Chattel Paper which constitutes, arises out of,
or relates to, the Collateral to any other Person.
3.5. Container Management System. Without the prior written
consent of the Collateral Agent, the Debtor agrees that it will not grant to any
Person, or permit any Person to obtain a Lien, over the Container Management
System.
3.6. Commercial Tort Claims. The Debtor shall promptly furnish
to the Collateral Agent a description of any Commercial Tort Claim which would
reasonably be expected to result in payment of $15,000,000 or more in damages to
Debtor (collectively, the "Subject Commercial Tort Claims"), in sufficient
detail to enable the Collateral Agent to perfect its Lien on such Commercial
Tort Claim; provided that the Debtor shall not be required to perfect any Lien

time to time such vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments or
grants of security interest, conveyances, financing statements, transfer
endorsements, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments and take
such further steps, including any and all actions as may be necessary or
required under the Federal Assignment of Claims Act (or other similar law),
arising out of or relating to the Collateral and covered by the security
interest hereby granted, as the

Collateral Agent may reasonably require (subject to the carve-outs and
exceptions set forth herein).

UCC-1 pursuant to this Agreement, all filings, registrations and recordings
necessary or appropriate to perfect the security interest granted to the

otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents, Debtor will do nothing to impair the
rights of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral. The Debtor assumes all
liability and responsibility in connection with the Collateral acquired by it
and the liability of the Debtor to pay the Obligations shall in no way be
affected or diminished by reason of the fact that such Collateral may be lost,
destroyed, stolen, damaged or for any reason whatsoever unavailable to the
Debtor.
6.2. Warehouse Receipts Non-Negotiable. To the extent
practicable, the Debtor agrees that if any warehouse receipt or receipt in the
nature of a warehouse receipt is issued with respect to any of the Collateral,
the Debtor shall request that such warehouse receipt or receipt in the nature
thereof shall not be "negotiable" (as such term is used in Section 7-104 of the
Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction or under other
relevant law).
6.3. Additional Information. In addition to the information to
be provided by the Debtor to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.1(g)
of the Credit Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a
Designated Event of Default the Debtor will, at its own expense, from time to
time upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, promptly (and in any
event within 10 Business Days after its receipt of the respective request)
furnish to the Collateral Agent such information with respect to the Collateral
(including the identity of the Collateral or such components thereof as may have
been requested by the Collateral Agent, the value and location of such
Collateral, etc.) as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent.
Without limiting the forgoing, the Debtor agrees that it shall promptly (and in
any event within 10 Business Days after its receipt of the respective request)
furnish to the Collateral Agent such updated Annexes hereto as may from time to
time be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent.

interest hereby granted, which the Collateral Agent deems reasonably appropriate
or advisable to perfect, preserve or protect its security interest in the
Collateral.
6.5. Financing Statements. The Debtor agrees to authenticate
and deliver to the Collateral Agent such financing statements, in form
reasonably acceptable to the Collateral
- 11 -
Agent, as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request or as
are reasonably necessary in the opinion of the Collateral Agent to establish and
maintain a valid, enforceable, perfected security interest in the Collateral as
provided herein (to the extent that a security interest therein may be perfected
solely by the filing of financing statements under the relevant UCC) and the
other rights and security contemplated hereby. The Debtor will pay any
applicable filing fees, recordation taxes and related expenses relating to its
Collateral.
6.6. Software. The Debtor shall not create or attempt to
create, assume or permit to subsist any Lien or other encumbrance upon any

REMEDIES UPON OCCURRENCE OF A DESIGNATED EVENT OF DEFAULT
7.1. Remedies; Obtaining the Collateral Upon A Designated Event
of Default . The Debtor agrees that, if any Designated Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, then and in every such case, the Collateral
Agent, in addition to any rights now or hereafter existing under applicable law
and under the other provisions of this Agreement, shall have all rights as a
secured creditor under any UCC, and such additional rights and remedies to which
a secured creditor is entitled under the laws in effect in all relevant
jurisdictions and may:
(i) subject to the right of any applicable Lessee to the right
of quiet enjoyment of such property, personally, or by agents or
attorneys, immediately take possession of the Collateral or any part
thereof, from the Debtor or any other Person who then has possession of
any part thereof with or without notice or process of law, and for that
purpose may enter upon the Debtor's premises where any of the Collateral
is located and remove the same and use in connection with such removal any
and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of the Debtor;
(ii) instruct the obligor or obligors on any agreement,
instrument or other obligation (including, without limitation, the
Accounts and the Contracts) constituting the Collateral to make any
payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other
obligation directly to the Collateral Agent and may exercise any and all
remedies of the Debtor in respect of such Collateral;
(iii) sell, assign or otherwise liquidate any or all of the
Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with Section 7.2 hereof, or
direct the Debtor to sell, assign or otherwise liquidate any or all of the
Collateral or any part thereof, and, in each case, take possession of the
proceeds of any such sale or liquidation;
(iv) take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by
directing the Debtor in writing to deliver the same to the Collateral
Agent at any reasonable place or places designated by the Collateral
Agent, in which event the Debtor shall at its own expense:
- 12 -
(x) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or
places so designated by the Collateral Agent and there
delivered to the Collateral Agent;
(y) store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the
Collateral Agent at such place or places pending further
action by the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 7.2
hereof; and
(z) while the Collateral shall be so stored and kept,
provide such security and maintenance services as shall be
reasonably necessary to protect the same and to preserve and
maintain it in good condition;
(v) license or sublicense, on a nonexclusive basis, any Marks,
Domain Names, Patents or Copyrights included in the Collateral for such
term and on such conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent
shall in its reasonable judgment determine;
(vi) apply any monies constituting Collateral or proceeds
thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.4; and
(vii) take any other action as specified in clauses (1) through
(5), inclusive, of Section 9-607(a) of the UCC;
it being understood that the Debtor's obligation so to deliver the Collateral is
of the essence of this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a
court of equity having jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a
decree requiring specific performance by the Debtor of said obligation.
7.2. Remedies; Disposition of the Collateral. If any Designated
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then any Collateral
repossessed by the Collateral Agent under or pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof and
any other Collateral whether or not so repossessed by the Collateral Agent, may
be sold, assigned, leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more contracts
or as an entirety, and without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale
the property to be sold, and in general in such manner, at such time or times,
at such place or places and on such terms as the Collateral Agent may, in
compliance with any mandatory requirements of applicable law, determine to be
commercially reasonable. Any of the Collateral may be sold, leased or otherwise
disposed of, in the condition in which the same existed when taken by the
Collateral Agent or after any overhaul or repair at the expense of the Debtor
which the Collateral Agent shall determine to be commercially reasonable. Any
such sale, lease or other disposition may be effected by means of a public
disposition or private disposition, effected in accordance with the applicable
requirements (in each case if and to the extent applicable) of Sections 9-610
through 9-613 of the UCC and/or such other mandatory requirements of applicable
law as may apply to the respective disposition. The Collateral Agent may,
without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private disposition or
cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and
place fixed for the disposition, and such disposition may be made at any time or
place to which the disposition may be so adjourned. To the extent permitted by
any such requirement of law, the Collateral Agent may bid for and become the
purchaser (and may pay all or any portion of the purchase price by
- 13 -
crediting Obligations against the purchase price) of the Collateral or any item
thereof, offered for disposition in accordance with this Section 7.2 without
accountability to the Debtor. If, under applicable law, the Collateral Agent
shall be permitted to make disposition of the Collateral within a period of time
which does not permit the giving of notice to the Debtor as hereinabove
specified, the Collateral Agent need give the Debtor only such notice of
disposition as shall be required by such applicable law. The Debtor agrees to do
or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be reasonably
necessary to make such disposition or dispositions of all or any portion of the
Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws,
regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all
courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign,
having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at the Debtor's expense.
7.3. Waiver of Claims. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, (a) THE DEBTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, NOTICE AND JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL AGENT'S
TAKING POSSESSION OR THE COLLATERAL AGENT'S DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE
COLLATERAL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING
FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES, and (b) the Debtor hereby further
waives, to the extent permitted by law:
(i) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession or any
such disposition except any damages which are the direct result of the
Collateral Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable
decision);
(ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of
sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the
Collateral Agent's rights hereunder; and
(iii) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay,
extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law
in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or the
absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof, and the Debtor,
for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or
hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws.
Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon,
any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and
demand, either at law or in equity, of the Debtor therein and thereto, and shall
be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the Debtor and against any
and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold, optioned
or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through and under the Debtor.
7.4. Application of Proceeds. (a) All moneys collected by the
Collateral Agent upon any sale or other disposition of any Collateral pursuant
to the enforcement of this Agreement or the exercise of any of the remedial
provisions hereof (or, if any other Security Document requires proceeds of
"collateral" thereunder to be applied in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, by such "collateral agent" thereunder pursuant to the enforcement of
such Security Document or the exercise of the remedial provisions thereof),
together with all
- 14 -
other moneys received by the Collateral Agent hereunder in respect of the
Collateral (or such "collateral agent" under such other Security Documents)
(including all monies received in respect of post-petition interest) as a result
of any such enforcement or the exercise of any such remedial provisions or as a
result of any distribution of any Collateral (or "collateral" under any other
Security Document, as the case may be) upon the bankruptcy, arrangement,
receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or
proceeding involving the readjustment of the obligations and indebtedness of the
Debtor, or the application of any Collateral (or "collateral" under any other
Security Document, as the case may be) to the payment thereof or any
distribution of Collateral (or "collateral" under any other Security Document,
as the case may be) upon the liquidation or dissolution of the Debtor, or the
winding up of the assets or business of the Debtor or under any insurance
policies insuring any of the Collateral (or "collateral" under any other
Security Document, as the case may be), shall be applied as follows:
(i) first, to the payment of all amounts owing to the Collateral
Agent of the type described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of the definition of
"Obligations"; and
(ii) second, to the extent proceeds remain after the application
pursuant to preceding clause (i), in accordance with the priority of
payments set forth in Section 13.4 of the Credit Agreement.
(b) All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made (i)
if to the Lender Creditors, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Lender Creditors and (ii) if to the Hedge Counterparties, to the trustee, paying
agent or other similar representative (each, a "Representative") for the Hedge
Counterparties or, in the absence of such a Representative, directly to the
Hedge Counterparties.
(c) For purposes of applying payments received in accordance
with this Section 7.4, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon (i)
the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Representative or, in the absence of such
a Representative, upon the Hedge Counterparties.
(d) It is understood that the Debtor shall remain liable with
respect to its Loan Document Obligations and Hedging Obligations to the extent
of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral granted
by it hereunder and the aggregate amount of such Obligations.
7.5. Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy
hereby specifically given to the Collateral Agent shall be in addition to every
other right, power and remedy specifically given to the Collateral Agent under
this Agreement, the other Secured Debt Agreements or now or hereafter existing
at law, in equity or by statute and each and every right, power and remedy
whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from
time to time or simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed
expedient by the Collateral Agent. All such rights, powers and remedies shall be
cumulative and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of one shall not be
deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other or others. No delay or
omission of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any such right, power or
remedy and no renewal or extension of any of the Obligations shall impair
- 15 -
any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any
Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence thereof. No notice to or demand
on the Debtor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or
demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the
rights of the Collateral Agent to any other or further action in any
circumstances without notice or demand. In the event that the Collateral Agent
shall bring any suit to enforce any of its rights hereunder and shall be
entitled to judgment, then in such suit the Collateral Agent may recover
reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, and the amounts
thereof shall be included in such judgment.
7.6. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Collateral Agent
shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under
this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding
shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been
determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case the
Debtor, the Collateral Agent and each holder of any of the Obligations shall be
restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the
Collateral subject to the security interest created under this Agreement, and
all rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent shall continue as if no
such proceeding had been instituted.

Agreement. As used in this Agreement, "Termination Date" shall mean the date

of any property or to pay any fees, costs and expenses of any Person, or (iii)

Section 9.8 and the Secured Debt Agreements.
9.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number

counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Debtor
and the Collateral Agent. Execution and delivery of this Agreement by facsimile
signature shall constitute execution and delivery of this Agreement for all
purposes hereof with the same force and effect as execution and delivery of a
manually signed copy hereof.
9.10. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or

unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

9.11. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Creditors. The
Collateral Agent will hold in accordance with this Agreement all items of the
Collateral at any time received under this Agreement. It is expressly understood
and agreed that the obligations of the Collateral Agent as holder of the
Collateral and interests therein and with respect to the disposition thereof,
and otherwise under this Agreement, are only those expressly set forth in this
Agreement and the Credit Agreement.
9.12. Saving Clause. Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary herein, "Collateral" shall not include, and the security interest
granted under this Agreement shall not attach to, any general intangibles,
assets or other rights, in either case existing on the Closing Date, (a) arising
under or subject to any contracts, instruments, licenses or other documents as
to which the grant of a security interest would (i) constitute a violation of a
valid and enforceable restriction in favor of a third party on such grant,
unless and until any required consents shall have been obtained or (ii) give any
other party to such contract, instrument, license or other document the right to
terminate its obligations thereunder or (b) the granting of a security interest
in which would be void or illegal under any applicable governmental law, rule or
regulation, or pursuant thereto would result in, or permit the termination of,
such asset.
