6.           Addition of Provisions Related to the Lockbox Agreement.  Section 9.7 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows and Sections 3.8, 6.1A are hereby added to the Agreement:

3.8           Collection of Accounts.
 
(a)           The Borrower shall establish and maintain, at its expense, blocked accounts or lockboxes and related blocked accounts (in either case, "Lockbox Accounts"), as Agent may specify, with such bank(s) as are acceptable to Agent into which the Borrower shall promptly deposit and direct its account debtors to directly remit all payments on Receivables and all payments constituting proceeds of Collateral in the identical form in which such payments are made, whether by cash, check or other manner.  The Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to Agent a Lockbox Agreement duly authorized, executed and delivered by each bank where a Lockbox Account is maintained as provided in Section 6.1A hereof and promptly upon Agent's request, the Borrower shall execute and deliver such agreements and documents as Agent may require in connection therewith.  The Borrower agrees that all payments made to such Lockbox Accounts or other funds received and collected by the Agent, whether in respect of the Receivables, as proceeds of Collateral or otherwise shall be treated as payments to the Agent in respect of the Obligations and therefore shall constitute the property of the Agent to the extent of the then outstanding Obligations.  All payments to the Lockbox Accounts shall be swept daily to the Lender Payment Account.
 
(b)           The Borrower and its employees, agents and Subsidiaries shall, acting as trustee for the Agent, receive, as the property of Agent, any monies, checks, notes, drafts or any other payment relating to and/or proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral which come into its possession or under its control and immediately upon receipt thereof, shall deposit or cause the same to be deposited in a Lockbox Account, or remit the same or cause the same to be remitted, in kind, to the Agent.  In no event shall the same be commingled with any of the Borrower's own funds.  All of such fees, costs and expenses shall constitute Obligations hereunder, shall be payable to the Agent by the Borrower upon demand, and, until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate then applicable hereunder.  All checks, drafts, instruments and other items of payment or proceeds of Collateral shall be endorsed by the Borrower to the Agent, and, if that endorsement of any such item shall not be made for any reason, the Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse the same on the Borrower's behalf.  For the purpose of this paragraph, the Borrower irrevocably hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the Agent (and all Persons designated by the Agent for that purpose) as the Borrower's true and lawful attorney and agent-in-fact (i) to endorse the Borrower's name upon said items of payment and/or proceeds of Collateral and upon any Chattel Paper, document, instrument, invoice or similar document or
 

 
-4-

 

agreement relating to any Account of the Borrower or goods pertaining thereto; (ii) to take control in any manner of any item of payment or proceeds thereof; and (iii) to have access to any lock box or postal box into which any of the Borrower's mail is deposited, and open and process all mail addressed to the Borrower and deposited therein. The obligations of the Borrower to reimburse the Agent for such amounts pursuant to this Section 3.8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
 
6.1A                      Lockbox Agreement.  The Borrower shall direct all of its Account Debtors to make all payments on the Accounts directly to a post office box (the "Lockbox") identified from time to time by Borrower.  Pursuant to the terms of the Lockbox Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit "Q", the Borrower shall establish the Lockbox and one or more Lockbox Accounts into which all payments received in the Lockbox shall be deposited, and into which the Borrower will immediately deposit all payments made for Inventory or services and received by the Borrower in the identical form in which such payments were made, whether by cash or check.  The Lockbox Agreement will also specify that all amounts in the Lockbox will be swept into an account at a financial institution designated by the Agent and under the exclusive control of the Agent.  If the Borrower or any director, officer, employee or agent of the Borrower or any other Person acting for or in concert with the Borrower shall receive any monies, checks, notes, drafts or other payments relating to or as proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral, the Borrower and each such Person shall receive all such items in trust for, and as the sole and exclusive property of the Lenders and, immediately upon receipt thereof shall remit the same (or cause the same to be remitted) in kind to the Lockbox Account.  The Borrower agrees that all payments made to such Lockbox Account or otherwise received by the Agent, whether in respect of the Accounts or as proceeds of other Collateral or otherwise, will be applied on account of the Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The Borrower agrees to pay all fees, costs and expenses which the Agent incurs in connection with opening and maintaining the Lockbox Account and depositing for collection by the Agent any check or other item of payment received by the Agent on account of the Obligations.  All of such fees, costs and expenses shall constitute Obligations hereunder, shall be payable to the Agent by the Borrower upon demand, and, until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate then applicable to Loan hereunder.  All checks, drafts, instruments and other items of payment or proceeds of Collateral shall be endorsed by the Borrower to the Agent, and, if that endorsement of any such item shall not be made for any reason, the Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse the same on the Borrower's behalf.  For the purpose of this paragraph, the Borrower irrevocably hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the Agent (and all Persons designated by the Agent for that purpose) as the Borrower's true and lawful attorney and agent-in-fact (i) to endorse the Borrower's name upon said items of payment and/or proceeds of Collateral and upon any Chattel Paper, document, instrument, invoice or similar document or agreement relating to any Account of the Borrower or goods pertaining thereto; (ii) to take control in any manner of any item of payment or proceeds thereof; and (iii) to have access to any lock box or postal box into which any of the Borrower's mail is deposited, and open and process all mail addressed to the Borrower and deposited therein.

9.7           Bank Accounts.  The Borrower shall not establish any new Deposit accounts or other bank accounts, other than bank accounts established as set forth on Schedule 8.28  or as required under the Lockbox Agreement , or amend or terminate the Lockbox or Lockbox Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent.
