RECITALS
CompuCom, the Lenders and NationsBank are parties to the
Credit Agreement which provides for a credit facility for
loans by NationsBank and the Lenders to CompuCom, from time
to time, secured by (among other collateral) all of CompuCom's
Receivables now owned and hereafter acquired, on the terms
provided therein.
CFI is a special purpose, bankruptcy remote, wholly owned
subsidiary of CompuCom, formed and operating for the sole purpose
of entering into and performing (i) this
9
Agreement, (ii) the RPA, pursuant to which CompuCom will sell to
CFI and CFI will purchase from CompuCom, from time to time, the RPA
Interest, (iii) the TAA, pursuant to which CFI will transfer to
EFC and EFC will accept from CFI, from time to time, a portion of
the RPA Interest, and (iv) various related agreements.
CompuCom, NationsBank, CFI and EFC wish to establish a means
by which CompuCom may utilize its Receivables to access working
capital sources VIA both the Credit Agreement and the RPA, as
CompuCom shall determine in accordance with this Agreement, the
Credit Agreement and the RPA, and contemporaneous means by which
the interests of the Beneficial Secured Parties may be administered
on terms, and in a manner, mutually agreeable to Administrative
Secured Party, CompuCom and the Beneficial Secured Parties.
CompuCom and CFI intend that the transaction contemplated by
the RPA create an absolute transfer to CFI from CompuCom of the
RPA Interest in effect from time to time. In that regard, CFI has
entered into this Agreement to provide a means for administration
of the Receivables, the Related Security and Collections in a manner
consistent with its rights therein and the rights of NationsBank
therein. This agreement provides for the grant by CompuCom to
Administrative Secured Party, for the benefit of the Beneficial
Secured Parties as provided herein, of a security interest in the
Collateral as a whole (and not just the portion thereof as might
separately secure the NationsBank Secured Obligations) because CFI
has requested that, in the event of any possible recharacterization
by a court of competent jurisdiction of the transactions contemplated
by the RPA not as an absolute transfer to CFI of the RPA Interest
but rather as a financing (despite the expressed intent of CompuCom
and CFI), CFI have the equivalent benefit of a security interest in
that portion of the Receivables, the Related Security and the
Collections as might separately secure the payment to CFI of any loan
deemed to have been made to CompuCom
10
by CFI pursuant to any such recharacterization. As a means to
address administrative impracticabilities caused by the nature
of trade accounts receivable and intercreditor matters regarding
the rights of NationsBank on the one hand and CFI on the other, this
Agreement provides for the grant by CompuCom to Administrative
Secured Party, for the benefit of the Beneficial Secured Parties,
of a security interest in all of the Receivables, the Related
Security and the Collections, to secure both the CFI Secured
Obligations and the NationsBank Secured Obligations as well as to
provide for the administration of the Collateral in a manner which
is acceptable to all parties, consistent with CFI's rights therein
and the rights of NationsBank therein.
Therefore, the undersigned parties have determined to enter
into certain agreements and arrangements according to the terms
and provisions as set forth hereinbelow.
THEREFORE, for value received and other valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of the
mutual benefits provided herein, the undersigned parties hereby agree as
follows:
ARTICLE I.
GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST;
APPOINTMENT OF ADMINISTRATOR; COLLATERAL COVENANTS
I.1 SECURITY INTEREST.
a. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. CompuCom hereby
grants to Administrative Secured Party, for the benefit of the
Beneficial Secured Parties according to their respective Pro
Rata Percentages, a continuing security interest, collateral
assignment and lien in and to the Collateral to secure full
payment and performance of the Secured Obligations.
b. PRIORITY. Subject to paragraph 9.3, the security
interest, collateral assignment and lien in the Collateral
granted to Administrative Secured Party for the benefit of
Beneficial Secured Parties under this Agreement at all times
shall be and remain first, prior and senior to any other
interests in the Collateral. CompuCom represents to
Administrative
11
Secured Party that no other security interests, liens, financing
statements or other encumbrances exist or shall be allowed to
exist with respect to any of the Collateral, except the
Permitted Subordinated Interests and perfected rights, if any,
in returned inventory in favor of any Person who is a seller of
inventory to CompuCom, existing as of the Effective Date.
I.2 ADMINISTRATIVE SECURED PARTY APPOINTED AS ADMINISTRATOR. The
Beneficial Secured Parties hereby appoint Administrative Secured Party as
administrator to collect, receive and administer all Collections, on the
Beneficial Secured Parties' joint behalf, as provided by Article II and in
accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement. Until termination of
this Agreement (i) each Beneficial Secured Party irrevocably appoints
Administrative Secured Party as its nominee and attorney in fact with full
power coupled with an interest, to exercise and enforce any and all rights or
remedies in respect of its interests in the Receivables, whether under this
Agreement, the FSA (in the case of NationsBank), the RPA (in the case of
CFI), the TAA (in the case of CFI or EFC), or otherwise. Administrative
Secured Party may exercise or refrain from exercising any and all such rights
or remedies as it may determine in its discretion as provided, and subject
to, the provisions of Article VIII, subject to all other terms of this
Agreement, and all Collections received by Administrative Secured Party in
the exercise of any such rights or remedies shall be deemed received for the
benefit of the Beneficial Secured Parties according to their respective Pro
Rata Percentages as of the time of receipt thereof and administered according
to the provisions of Article II and the other provisions of this Agreement.
The rights delegated and appointed to Administrative Secured Party under this
paragraph 1.2 are separate, distinct and independent of Administrative
Secured Party's rights as a secured party arising under paragraph 1.1(a).
I.3 RECEIVABLES. CompuCom hereby represents, warrants and agrees
as follows (such representations, warranties and covenants being deemed made
daily by CompuCom to Administrative Secured Party for the benefit of the
Beneficial Secured Parties until this Agreement has been terminated): (a)
CompuCom is the sole owner of and has full unrestricted power and right to
grant to Administrative Secured Party a continuing security interest,
collateral assignment and pledge of all Receivables free from any lien,
security interest or encumbrance, other than Permitted Subordinated
Interests; (b) each Receivable is in existence, unconditional and valid, and
arose from a bona fide outright sale of inventory or performance of services
in the ordinary course of business, for liquidated amounts and maturing as
set forth on its face and such inventory has been shipped to, or such
services have been performed for, the respective Account Debtors; (c) no
Receivable is or will be subject to any sale, assignment, claim or security
interest of any character, other than the Permitted Subordinated Interests,
and CompuCom will not make any sale or other assignment thereof or create any
other security interest
12
therein; (d) except as disclosed to Administrative Secured Party in writing,
CompuCom has no knowledge that any Receivable is subject to any claim for
credit, deduction, allowance or adjustment by an Account Debtor, or to any
defense, dispute, setoff or counterclaim, and no extension or indulgence has
been granted by CompuCom with respect thereto; and (e) CompuCom believes and
expects that each Receivable will be paid in full at maturity. CompuCom
represents, warrants and confirms that the existing security interest in
certain inventory previously granted by CompuCom to each of Apple Computer,
Inc. and Compaq Computer Corporation, respectively, in each case, is limited
by agreement such that the security interest in proceeds of such inventory is
limited only to cash proceeds and insurance proceeds and excludes all other
proceeds (it being understood that CompuCom has, prior to the date hereof,
delivered to Administrative Secured Party a written statement from each such
secured party confirming that its security interest in proceeds of such
inventory is so limited), and CompuCom agrees that, for so long as this
Agreement is in full force and effect, it will not enter into any inventory
agreement with any Person unless, prior to the effectiveness of such
inventory agreement, CompuCom limits the interest of such Person in the
proceeds of inventory in the manner specified in this sentence.
I.4 ADJUSTMENT AND COMPROMISE OF RECEIVABLES. CompuCom agrees
that it will not settle, adjust, compromise, discharge or extend the time for
payment of any Receivable except in compliance with CompuCom's credit policy
and involving an amount not in excess of $2,000,000.00, without
Administrative Secured Party's consent.
I.5 BOOKS AND RECORDS. CompuCom represents and warrants to
Administrative Secured Party that all Books and Records are located at
CompuCom's chief executive office designated for CompuCom in the
"Definitions" of this Agreement, and at such other locations, if any, as may
be specified in Exhibit 1.5. CompuCom agrees that it will not maintain any
Books and Records at any location other than as designated in Exhibit 1.5
unless it gives Administrative Secured Party at least 30 days prior written
notice and first executes such financing statements and other documents as
Administrative Secured Party may request in connection therewith, PROVIDED
that, if any such location is a leased location CompuCom shall first cause
each owner or landlord thereof to execute and deliver to Administrative
Secured Party a Collateral Access and Waiver Agreement. CompuCom shall
immediately notify Administrative Secured Party upon receipt of any notice
from any Person claiming past due rent, fees or other charges in respect of
any material location where any Books and Records are located. CompuCom will
not deliver possession of any Books and Records to any Person (other than
pursuant to valid judicial process) without the prior written consent of
Administrative Secured Party.
13
I.6 PERFECTION AND PROTECTION. CompuCom shall perform, at its
expense, all action requested by Administrative Secured Party at any time to
perfect, maintain, protect, and enforce Administrative Secured Party's
security interests in the Collateral, including without limitation executing
and filing financing statements and amendments thereof, in form and substance
satisfactory to Administrative Secured Party; delivering to Administrative
Secured Party any proceeds of Collateral the possession of which is required
for continued perfection of Administrative Secured Party's security
interests, duly endorsed or assigned to Administrative Secured Party without
restriction, as may be required for such purpose; placing notations on books
of account to disclose Administrative Secured Party's security interests; and
such other steps as are deemed necessary by Administrative Secured Party to
maintain its security interests. So long as this Agreement is in effect and
until all Secured Obligations have been fully satisfied, Administrative
Secured Party's security interest and lien hereunder shall continue in full
force and effect in all Collateral.
I.7 EXAMINATIONS; INSPECTIONS. Administrative Secured Party or
its designee shall have the right, upon at least two (2) days' prior notice,
without hindrance or delay and during normal business hours, to examine and
inspect the Collateral. Administrative Secured Party is authorized to
discuss CompuCom's affairs with any employees of CompuCom, as Administrative
Secured Party may deem necessary in relation to the Collateral. CompuCom
agrees to pay Administrative Secured Party's customary fees and disbursements
relating to any such examinations or inspections. Administrative Secured
Party shall have full access to all records available to CompuCom from any
credit reporting service, bureau or similar service and shall have the right
to examine and make copies of any such records. Administrative Secured Party
may exhibit a copy of this Agreement to such service and such service shall
be entitled to rely on the provisions hereof in providing access to
Administrative Secured Party as provided herein.
I.8 RIGHT TO CURE. Administrative Secured Party in its sole
discretion may pay any amount or take any action in order to preserve,
protect and maintain the Collateral and Administrative Secured Party's
security interest therein, including without limitation, payment of any
landlord's claim or other encumbrance or claim asserted against the
Collateral (PROVIDED that with respect to any payment or obligation owing by
CompuCom to any Person other than Administrative Party, CompuCom shall have
first had the opportunity to make any such payment or perform any such
obligation). All such payments and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses made
or incurred by Administrative Secured Party shall be payable by CompuCom to
Administrative Secured Party on demand. Any payment made or other action
taken by Administrative Secured Party under this paragraph shall be without
prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or exercise any other
remedy hereunder.
14
I.9 PRESERVATION OF RIGHTS. To the extent allowed by law, neither
Administrative Secured Party nor any of its officers, directors, employees,
and agents shall be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of
any Collateral or for any act or failure to act with respect to the
Collateral, or for any loss or damage thereto or any diminution in the value
thereof, or for any act by any other Person. In the case of any instruments
and chattel paper included within any proceeds of the Collateral,
Administrative Secured Party shall have no duty or obligation to preserve
rights against prior parties. The Secured Obligations shall not be affected
by any failure of Administrative Secured Party to take any steps to perfect
its security interests or to collect or realize upon the Collateral, nor
shall loss of or damage to the Collateral release CompuCom from any of the
Secured Obligations. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by Administrative
Secured Party and the Beneficial Secured Parties, no (i) modification or
amendment of the terms of any Administration Documents, (ii) compromise,
forbearance or grant of renewals, extensions, indulgences or releases with
respect to any Administration Documents, the Collateral or the Secured
Obligations or (iii) other action with respect to the Collateral or any
Person directly or indirectly obligated in connection therewith shall impair
the Secured Obligations, or Administrative Secured Party's or the Beneficial
Secured Parties' interests in the Collateral or any rights under the
Administration Documents.
I.10 SPECIAL RIGHTS; POWER OF ATTORNEY. CompuCom hereby
irrevocably appoints Administrative Secured Party as CompuCom's agent and
attorney-in-fact, for the benefit of the Beneficial Secured Parties, from
time to time in Administrative Secured Party's discretion, to take any action
necessary to preserve and protect the Collateral and Administrative Secured
Party's interests under the Administration Documents. CompuCom hereby
authorizes and appoints Administrative Secured Party as attorney in fact to
sign and file any financing statement or other document necessary to perfect
Administrative Secured Party's security interest in the Collateral.
Administrative Secured Party shall have the right at any time to take any of
the following actions, in its own name or in the name of CompuCom, if an
Event of Default is in existence: (i) make written or verbal requests for
verification of amounts owing on Receivables from any or all Persons which

disposition of Collections; (iv) endorse the name of CompuCom on checks,

data processing equipment and computer hardware and software relating to the
Receivables or other Collateral to which CompuCom has access; and (ix) take
all other action allowed by law as may be necessary to carry out the
Administration Documents and give effect to Administrative Secured Party's
rights thereunder. In addition, Administrative Secured Party shall have the
right to take any of the following actions, in its own name or in the name of
CompuCom, at any time when any Event of Default is in existence, whether or
not Administrative Secured Party has taken any action to exercise any
remedies under the Administration Documents: (x) notify any Person which
Administrative Secured Party believes may be an Account Debtor to make
payments directly to Administrative Secured Party; (xi) settle, adjust,
compromise or discharge Receivables or extend time of payment upon such terms

and dispose of checks or other proceeds of Receivables in accordance with
this Agreement; and (xiv) direct the U.S. Postal service to change the
address to which CompuCom's mail is delivered. Should Administrative Secured
Party at any time elect to exercise its right of verification or notification
with respect to the Receivables as provided in clause (i) or clause (x)
above, respectively, Administrative Secured Party shall have the right in its
sole discretion to direct such request for verification, or notification, as
the case may be, to all Persons which Administrative Secured Party believes
may have transacted business with CompuCom at any time, whether or not such
Persons are then indebted to CompuCom, and Administrative Secured Party is
hereby released and discharged from any liability by reason of any such
request for verification or notification. Costs and expenses incurred by
Administrative Secured Party in connection with any of such actions by
Administrative Secured Party, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
out-of-pocket expenses, shall be reimbursed by CompuCom to Administrative
Secured Party on demand.

product of the Purchase Discount (as defined in the RPA) and the
RPA Interest Percentage as of the time of disbursement shall be

specified Business Day (which shall be on or after the date of
delivery thereof) therein certifying the RPA Interest Percentage
and the CompuCom Interest Percentage, respectively, as of such
day. On and after the specified effective date of such initial
Ownership Certification, the RPA Interest Percentage and the

specified in such Ownership Certification, and Administrative
Secured Party shall be entitled to rely thereon in connection
with its administration of this Agreement until such time, if
any, as any subsequent Ownership Certification is actually
delivered to Administrative Secured Party and becomes effective
as provided in paragraph 2.2(b).
(b) AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE. Subject to at
least two Business Days' prior written notice to Administrative
Secured Party of its intention to do so (unless otherwise agreed
by the Administrative Secured Party after consultation with EFC),
CompuCom may effect a change in the RPA Interest Percentage and
the CompuCom Interest Percentage, for purposes of this Agreement,
by delivering to Administrative Secured Party an Ownership
Certification, dated as of a Business Day subsequent to
expiration of such notice period, therein certifying the RPA
Interest Percentage and the CompuCom Interest Percentage,
respectively, as of such day. Provided that no Event of Default
is then in existence and PROVIDED FURTHER, that any such change
in the CompuCom Interest Percentage and the RPA Interest
Percentage to be effected thereby does not create an Event of
Default, such Ownership Certification shall become effective as
of the day in the future specified therein (which shall be on or
after the beginning of the third Business Day following the
Business Day of Administrative Secured Party's receipt of the
foregoing notice), whereupon the RPA Interest Percentage and the
CompuCom Interest Percentage each shall be deemed to be as
specified therein, and Administrative Secured Party shall be
entitled to rely thereon in connection with its administration of
this Agreement until such time, if any, as any subsequent
Ownership Certification is actually delivered to Administrative
Secured Party and becomes effective as provided in this paragraph
2.2(b).

Percentage in all Receivables created on or after the effective
date of any termination of the RPA automatically shall be
19
zero percent (0.00%) and the CompuCom Interest Percentage therein
shall be one hundred percent (100.00%). At Administrative
Secured Party's option in its sole discretion, Administrative
Secured Party may cause all Collections received in respect of
Receivables created on or after the effective date of termination
of the RPA to be segregated and deposited to a separate account
for collection and transfer to the NationsBank Account in
accordance with paragraph 2.1(c)(2). It is understood and agreed
that the RPA Interest Percentage in effect at the time of any
such termination of the RPA shall remain in effect as to all
Receivables created prior to the effective time of any such
termination of the RPA.
(d) RECEIVABLES SUBJECT TO RECONVEYANCE.
Notwithstanding any Ownership Certification, the RPA Interest
Percentage in Receivables, if any, with respect to which the RPA
Interest is reconveyed in full by CFI to CompuCom pursuant to the
RPA, at any time, shall be zero percent (0.0%) and the CompuCom
Percentage Interest therein shall be one hundred percent
(100.0%). CompuCom and CFI shall notify Administrative Secured
Party and NationsBank in writing prior to effecting any such
reconveyance, therein describing the Receivable(s) which are to
be the subject thereof. At Administrative Secured Party's
request, CompuCom will assist Administrative Secured Party in
identifying Collections in respect of such Receivables and, at
Administrative Secured Party's option in its discretion,
Administrative Secured Party may cause all Collections at any
time received in respect of such Receivables to be segregated and
deposited to a separate account for collection and transfer to
the NationsBank account in accordance with paragraph 2.1(c)(2).
20
.2 FEES.
In order to compensate Administrative Secured

28

29
ARTICLE V.
REMEDIES
30
V.1 REMEDIES. Should an Event of Default occur at any
time, Administrative Secured Party may at its option take any or
all of the following actions: (a) notify Account Debtors to make
all payments on Receivables directly to Administrative Secured
Party at such address as Administrative Secured Party shall
designate; (b) make demand for payment on Account Debtors and
take action (including without limitation, filing suit) to
enforce payment of Receivables, in the name of Administrative
Secured Party (on behalf of the Beneficial Secured Parties) or
CompuCom, as Administrative Secured Party shall determine in its
discretion; (c) take any other action to enforce the collection
rights of a secured party under the Texas UCC; and (d) exercise,
enforce and avail itself of any and all other rights or remedies
as may be available under this Agreement or any other
Administration Documents or as otherwise may be available under
the Texas UCC or other applicable law. Administrative Secured
Party at all times shall have the collection rights and all other
rights and remedies of a secured party under the Texas UCC,
including but not limited to the right to take possession of
Collections and enforce direct payment of Receivables. To the
extent necessary to protect and enforce its rights under the
Administration Documents, Administrative Secured Party is
expressly authorized to receive, open, and dispose of mail
addressed to CompuCom and endorse notes, checks, drafts, money
orders, or other evidences of payment, on behalf of and in the
name of CompuCom. Administrative Secured Party may demand,
collect, receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, sue for,
foreclose or otherwise realize upon the Receivables as
Administrative Secured Party may determine in its discretion. In
collecting or pursuing collection of Receivables, Administrative
Secured Party may utilize CompuCom's books and records, premises,
telephones, telecopiers, copiers, and other facilities, or the
services of CompuCom's personnel, at CompuCom's cost and expense,
as may be necessary for prompt and expedient collection.
CompuCom agrees that Administrative Secured Party's use of such
facilities or personnel is a commercially reasonable method of
pursuing timely collection and enforcement of Receivables and
that, in taking any such action, Administrative Secured Party is
acting solely in its capacity as a secured party under the Texas
UCC and as attorney in fact and administrator, as provided by
this Agreement. Administrative Secured Party may give verbal or
written notice to any Person who Administrative Secured Party
reasonably believes is or may be an Account Debtor on Receivables
and thereby demand payment of all amounts which may be or become
due by such Person on Receivables. In taking possession of any
Collateral, Administrative Secured Party is authorized to enter
upon any premises owned or leased by CompuCom where any
Collateral is located. At its option, Administrative Secured
Party may require CompuCom to assemble the Collateral and make it
available to Administrative Secured Party at a place to be
designated by Administrative Secured Party which is reasonably
convenient to both Administrative Secured Party and CompuCom.
CompuCom agrees that Administrative Secured Party shall be
entitled to collect or dispose of any Collateral on CompuCom's
premises. Unless the Collateral is perishable
31
or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type
customarily sold on a recognized market, Administrative Secured
Party will give CompuCom reasonable notice of the time and place
of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which any
private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be
made. For this purpose, it is agreed that at least five (5)
days notice of the time of sale or other intended disposition of
Collateral delivered in accordance with paragraph 10.3 shall be
deemed to be reasonable notice in conformity with the Texas UCC.
Administrative Secured Party may adjourn or otherwise reschedule
any public sale by announcement at the time and place specified
in the notice of such public sale, and such sale may be made at
the time and place as so announced without necessity of further
notice. Administrative Secured Party shall not be obligated to
sell or dispose of any Collateral, or to pursue any particular
manner of collection or disposition, notwithstanding any prior
notice of intended disposition. With respect to any instruments
or chattel paper at any time included within the Collateral,
Administrative Secured Party shall not have any duty or
obligation to take steps to preserve rights against prior
parties.
V.2 CASH COLLATERAL; INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. All cash proceeds
of Collateral from time to time existing, including without
limitation all Collections, at all times shall be and remain
subject to Administrative Secured Party's continuing security
interest, lien and administration under this Agreement, and shall
be subject to an express trust for the benefit of Administrative
Secured Party, for the benefit of the Beneficial Secured Parties.
Except as may be specifically allowed otherwise by this
Agreement, and following an Event of Default, CompuCom is
expressly prohibited from using, spending, retaining or otherwise
exercising any dominion over such proceeds, and all such proceeds
shall be promptly turned over to Administrative Secured Party in
the form in which they are received by CompuCom, either by
mailing or delivering the same to Administrative Secured Party
not later than the Business Day following receipt thereof by
CompuCom. CompuCom acknowledges and agrees that an action for
damages against CompuCom for any breach of the prohibitions and
obligations of this paragraph shall not be an adequate remedy at
law. In the event of any such breach, CompuCom agrees, to the
fullest extent allowed by law, that Administrative Secured Party
shall be entitled to injunctive relief to restrain such breach
and require compliance with the requirements of this Agreement.
V.3 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS; DEFICIENCY. After deducting
all costs, fees and expenses of collection and enforcement for
which CompuCom is obligated to Administrative Secured Party
pursuant to the Administration Documents or applicable law, any
remaining Collections or other proceeds of collection, sale or
disposition of the Collateral shall be deposited to the
Concentration Account and administered according to paragraph
2.1(c), and the excess, if any, remaining after expiration of the
Contract Term shall be held or disbursed by Administrative
Secured Party by mutual agreement among
32
CompuCom, Administrative Secured Party and the Beneficial Secured
Parties or, in the absence of such mutual agreement, in accordance
with applicable law. CompuCom expressly agrees that it shall
remain liable for all Secured Obligations, if any, remaining after
liquidation or other disposition of the Collateral (PROVIDED, that
the foregoing shall not be construed to create any liability of
CompuCom under the RPA except as expressly provided therein).
V.4 WAIVER OF NOTICES. CompuCom expressly waives any
notices from Administrative Secured Party or the Beneficial
Secured Parties except as otherwise expressly provided for and
required by this Agreement.
V.5 SETOFF. CompuCom irrevocably authorizes Administrative
Secured Party to charge any account of CompuCom maintained with
Administrative Secured Party with such amount as may be necessary
from time to time to pay any Secured Obligations. CompuCom
agrees that Administrative Secured Party shall have a contractual
right to setoff any and all deposits or other sums at any time
credited by or due from Administrative Secured Party to CompuCom
against any part of the Secured Obligations. Such right of
setoff may be exercised at any time by Administrative Secured
Party without prior notice, irrespective of whether an Event of
Default exists or whether the Secured Obligations have fully
matured; PROVIDED that the Administrative Secured Party shall
promptly notify CompuCom following any such setoff of funds.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as the
same shall remain in existence and is not cured or waived,
Administrative Secured Party shall be entitled in its discretion,
without prior notice, to hold any such deposits or other sums
(and return checks or other items presented for payment against
same, and otherwise deny access to same) pending acceleration of
any Secured Obligations. All amounts, if any, charged or set off
by Administrative Secured Party against any Collections shall be
deposited to the Concentration Account and administered as
provided by paragraph 2.1(c).
V.6 PERFORMANCE BY ADMINISTRATIVE SECURED PARTY. Should
CompuCom fail to perform any covenant, duty, or agreement
required by the Administration Documents (including without
limitation, payment and discharge of any taxes, liens or
encumbrances affecting or potentially affecting the Collateral)
Administrative Secured Party may in its sole discretion perform
or attempt to perform or cause performance of same on behalf of
CompuCom at CompuCom's reasonable cost and expense, PROVIDED that
Administrative Secured Party shall have no obligation or duty to
take any such action. CompuCom agrees to reimburse
Administrative Secured Party for such reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses on demand and until paid.
33
V.7 NON-WAIVER. Forbearance or indulgence by
Administrative Secured Party of any Event of Default or any other
event or condition which is or would be the subject of a required
notice under paragraph 5.10, at any time from time to time, shall
not be deemed a waiver of any rights of Administrative Secured
Party under the Administration Documents. The acceptance by
Administrative Secured Party or the Beneficial Secured Parties,
at any time and from time to time, of any partial payment of the
Secured Obligations shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
Event of Default then existing. No delay or omission by
Administrative Secured Party in exercising any right or remedy
shall impair such right or remedy, or be construed as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such
rights or remedies preclude other or further exercise thereof.
Administrative Secured Party shall not be required or obligated
to file suit or otherwise pursue any Account Debtor or other
Person for enforcement or collection of any Receivables or to
otherwise take any action to realize upon any of the Collateral.
V.8 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. The remedies specified in this
Article VII are cumulative with and in addition to all other
rights and remedies provided by this Agreement and the other
Administration Documents, or by applicable law.
34
ARTICLE VI.

the Collateral, or in respect of administration of the
Administration Documents, as it may deem in its discretion to be
advisable in the performance of its obligations under this
Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Secured
Party, any action taken by Administrative Secured Party with the
consent or at the direction of the Beneficial Secured Parties
shall be deemed to have been taken for and on behalf of each of
the Beneficial Secured Parties. Administrative Secured Party
shall not be required to take action or exercise any remedy
except to the
36
extent expressly required by this Agreement upon
direction of the Beneficial Secured Parties, PROVIDED, that
Administrative Secured Party shall not be required to take any
action which Administrative Secured Party believes would expose

under the Administration Documents by or through officers,
directors, employees, attorneys or agents, and shall be entitled
to employ and consult with legal counsel, independent public
accountants, and other experts or consultants and shall not be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith
in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants,
experts or consultants, and may rely and act upon any resolution,
notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter or other document
or instrument or writing, or any telecopy, fax, telegram, telex
or teletype, or any court order, or any conversation, which it
believes to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or
made by the proper Person. Administrative Secured Party shall be
fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under
the Administration Documents in accordance with instructions
signed by the Beneficial Secured Parties, and such instructions
and any action or inaction by Administrative Secured Party
pursuant thereto shall be binding on each of the Beneficial
Secured Parties. Neither Administrative Secured Party nor its
affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents
shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in
connection with the Administration Documents except for gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
(b) LIMITATION OF SCOPE. Administrative Secured
Party's appointment hereunder is expressly limited as provided in
this Agreement. Administrative Secured Party accepts such

attorney-in-fact and administrator, on the terms provided by this
Agreement. The duties and responsibilities of Administrative
Secured Party under this Agreement are ministerial and
administrative in nature, and it is expressly agreed that

that
37
Administrative Secured Party shall not have any liability to
any Beneficial Secured Party for failure to do so.
Administrative Secured Party shall promptly notify the Beneficial
Secured Parties upon becoming aware of any Event of Default,
PROVIDED, that in the absence of gross negligence or intentional
misconduct Administrative Secured Party shall not have any
liability to any of the Beneficial Secured Parties for failure to
do so, and PROVIDED FURTHER, that Administrative Secured Party
shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of any Event of
Default (other than breaches by CompuCom, of which Administrative
Secured Party has actual knowledge, of CompuCom's obligations
under paragraph 2.1, or failure of timely payment to
Administrative Secured Party of any costs or fees as required by
the Administration Documents) unless it receives written notice
from CompuCom or any Beneficial Secured Party specifying an event
or condition and designating the same as an Event of Default.
Upon request, Administrative Secured Party will make available to
any Beneficial Secured Party any documents, reports or other
items from time to time received from CompuCom and remaining in

any of the terms of the Administration Documents, consent to any
action or failure to act by CompuCom, or exercise or refrain from
exercising any powers or rights which it may have under the
Administration Documents or as a matter of law, without the
requirement of prior notice to or consent of the Beneficial
Secured Parties. Any consent requested by Administrative Secured
Party from any Beneficial Secured Party, and any directive,

(e) LIMITATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE SECURED PARTY'S
LIABILITY. Neither Administrative Secured Party nor any of its
officers, directors, employees, at-
39
torneys or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted
to be taken in connection with the Administration Documents in
conformity with instructions or consents of any Beneficial Secured
Party, or based upon its belief that such action or inaction is
within the discretion or power conferred to Administrative Secured
Party under the Administration Documents, nor shall Administrative
Secured Party or any of such officers, directors, employees, attorneys or

Administration Documents.
(f) EXPENSES. Each Beneficial Secured Party
severally agrees to reimburse Administrative Secured Party
promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Percentage share of any and
all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees)
incurred by Administrative Secured Party in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification,
amendment or enforcement of the Administration Documents, and
legal advice in respect of rights or obligations thereunder
(whether in connection with negotiations, legal proceedings, or
otherwise) to the extent that any such expenses are not paid or
reimbursed to Administrative Secured Party by CompuCom or from
other sources within 60 days after request for payment or
reimbursement is made to CompuCom (PROVIDED that any such payment
by any Beneficial Secured Party to Administrative Secured Party
shall be without prejudice to the right to contest such
Beneficial Secured Party's obligation to make such payment, AND
PROVIDED FURTHER, that EFC shall make any such reimbursement only
to the extent that it has received sufficient funds from all
sellers of accounts to it in excess of the amount necessary to
pay matured and maturing commercial paper). To the extent any
such expenses are recovered by Administrative Secured Party from
CompuCom or other sources after any such amounts have been paid
to Administrative Secured Party by any Beneficial Secured
Party(ies), the amount so recovered shall be refunded by
Administrative Secured Party to each such paying Beneficial
Secured Party ratably according to its respective payments.
40
(g) INDEMNIFICATION. Each Beneficial Secured Party hereby severally
indemnifies, in accordance with its Pro Rata Percentage, and holds harmless
Administrative Secured Party from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses and/or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be
imposed on, asserted against, or incurred by Administrative Secured Party in
any way with respect to any Administration Documents (including without
limitation as may arise as a result of any order of a court of competent
jurisdiction pursuant to which Administrative Secured Party is required to
refund, repay or otherwise return any Collections to any other Person) or any
action taken or omitted by Administrative Secured Party under the
Administration Documents, except to the extent the same is caused by gross
negligence or wilful misconduct by Administrative Secured Party (IT BEING
ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF ADMINISTRATIVE SECURED PARTY
AND THE BENEFICIAL SECURED PARTIES THAT SUCH INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD
HARMLESS OBLIGATIONS SHALL INCLUDE ANY SUCH ACTIONS OR INACTIONS WHICH ARE A
RESULT OF NEGLIGENCE OTHER THAN GROSS NEGLIGENCE), PROVIDED, that EFC's
obligation to make payment under the foregoing indemnity is limited to the
extent that it has received sufficient funds from all sellers of accounts to
it in excess of the amount necessary to pay matured and maturing commercial
paper). Prior to compliance with any instructions by the Beneficial Secured
Parties under the Administration Documents, Administrative Secured Party
shall be entitled to request further assurance of any such indemnification in
form satisfactory to Administrative Secured Party, and unless and until such
further assurance is provided to Administrative Secured Party, Administrative
Secured Party shall have no obligation to comply with such instructions and
may disregard same.
41
(h) REPLACEMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE SECURED PARTY. Subject to the
following, Administrative Secured Party may resign as Administrative Secured
Party at any time by giving written notice of such resignation to the
Beneficial Secured Parties and CompuCom, and Administrative Secured Party may
be removed upon written notice by unanimous consent of the Beneficial Secured
Parties. Should Administrative Secured Party give any such notice of its
resignation as Administrative Secured Party, or should the Beneficial Secured
Parties give any such notice of removal, then the Beneficial Secured Parties
collectively shall forthwith appoint another Person, acceptable to them and
to CompuCom (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to
become Administrative Secured Party, whereupon such newly appointed Person
shall thereafter be Administrative Secured Party and CompuCom and the
Beneficial Secured Parties shall execute such documents as any Beneficial
Secured Party may reasonably request to reflect such change. Any resignation
or removal of Administrative Secured Party shall become effective upon the
appointment of a successor Administrative Secured Party (PROVIDED, that if
the Beneficial Secured Parties fail for any reason to appoint a successor
within sixty (60) days after written notice of such resignation or removal,
Administrative Secured Party shall thereafter have no obligation to act as
Administrative Secured Party hereunder). Any Person appointed as successor
Administrative Secured Party as provided above shall be deemed to accept such
appointment, and such successor Administrative Secured Party shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges, immunities,
and duties of the resigning or removed Administrative Secured Party, and the
resigning or removed Administrative Secured Party shall be discharged from
its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Administration
Documents. After any Administrative Secured Party's resignation or removal
as Administrative Secured Party, the provisions of this Article VIII shall
continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Secured Party.
NationsBank has been appointed as Administrative Secured Party, and has
accepted such appointment, subject to the terms of this Agreement, as of the
Effective Date. As of the Effective Date, NationsBank has delegated
administration of its functions as Administrative Secured Party hereunder to
its affiliate, NationsBank, N.A., headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina,
and at EFC's request hereby agrees that it will not transfer such
administration to any other division unless such division is acceptable to
Beneficial Secured Parties (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed).
42
(i) RIGHTS OF ADMINISTRATIVE SECURED PARTY AS BENEFICIAL SECURED PARTY.
Any Beneficial Secured Party who serves as Administrative Secured Party
shall nonetheless continue to have the same rights as a Beneficial Secured
Party, in its individual corporate capacity as a Beneficial Secured Party, as
any other Beneficial Secured Party and may exercise the same as though it
were not acting as Administrative Secured Party, and unless the context
indicates otherwise, to the extent that Administrative Secured Party in its
individual capacity is a Beneficial Secured Party, the term "Beneficial
Secured Party" or "Beneficial Secured Parties," wherever used in the
Administration Documents shall include the Administrative Secured Party in
its individual corporate capacity as a Beneficial Secured Party.
(j) INDEPENDENT CREDIT DECISIONS. Each Beneficial Secured Party
represents, warrants and agrees that it has made its own underwriting analysis
of CompuCom and its own evaluation and valuation of the Collateral and has made
its own decision to enter into this Agreement independently and without reliance
on Administrative Secured Party or any other Beneficial Secured Party and based
on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each Beneficial
Secured Party further acknowledges and agrees that it will continue to make its
own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement
or any of the other Administration Documents, independently and without reliance
upon Administrative Secured Party or any other Beneficial Secured Party and
based upon such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
time. Each Beneficial Secured Party acknowledges that it shall have no right to
rely upon Administrative Secured Party to inform it of the financial conditions
or creditworthiness of CompuCom or the condition, value, marketability or other
conditions in respect of the Collateral. Upon written request by any Beneficial
Secured Party, Administrative Secured Party will make any documents, reports or
other information received by Administrative Secured Party from CompuCom and
designated in such request available to such Beneficial Secured Party.
Otherwise, except as specifically provided in this Agreement, Administrative
Secured Party shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any
Beneficial Secured Party with any credit or other financial information
concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of CompuCom or any of
its subsidiaries or affiliates.
(k) SEVERAL COMMITMENTS. Administrative Secured Party shall not be
liable to CompuCom or any Beneficial Secured Party for any act or omission by
any Beneficial Secured Party, and no Beneficial Secured Party shall be
responsible
43
to CompuCom or any other Beneficial Secured Party for any act or omission of
any other Beneficial Secured Party.
(l) COLLECTION ADMINISTRATION: LOCKBOX; CONCENTRATION ACCOUNT.
On and after the Effective Date and continuing through the end of the Contact
Term, for so long as NationsBank is serving in the capacity as Administrative
Secured Party, it is agreed that (i) the lockbox presently established and
operating in connection with the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be the
Lockbox and (ii) the concentration account presently established and operating
in connection with the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be the Concentration
Account, and all Collections during any such period, from time to time, received
or deposited thereto, respectively, shall be deemed to have been received by
Administrative Secured Party solely pursuant, and subject to, the terms of this
Agreement.
(m) BENEFITS. CompuCom expressly acknowledges and agrees to the
provisions of this Article VIII, PROVIDED, that none of the provisions of this
Article shall inure to the benefit of CompuCom or any Person other than
Administrative Secured Party and the Beneficial Secured Parties. CompuCom shall
not be entitled to rely upon, or to raise as a defense, any failure of
Administrative Secured Party or any Beneficial Secured Party to comply with such
provisions. Subject to the requirements of paragraph 8.1(d)1, CompuCom shall be
entitled to rely on actions, agreements and consents of Administrative Secured
Party in connection with administering the Administration Documents as the
actions, agreements and consents of all Beneficial Secured Parties.
ARTICLE VII.

VII.1 EQUAL DIGNITY. The rights and interests pertaining to the
CompuCom Interest and the RPA Interest, under this Agreement or otherwise, are
of equal dignity and neither shall enjoy or be entitled to any right or benefit
in priority or preference over the other. All such rights and interests, and
all proceeds thereof, shall be shared by the Beneficial Secured Parties
according to their respective Pro Rata Percentage.
44
VII.2 PRO-RATA TREATMENT AMONG BENEFICIAL SECURED PARTIES. All
Collections and other proceeds of Receivables at any time received by

the time of Administrative Secured Party's receipt thereof.
VII.3 SUBORDINATION OF INTERESTS.
a. As among Administrative Secured Party and the Beneficial
Secured Parties only and subject to paragraph 9.3(e), NationsBank agrees
that all valid and perfected rights and interests pertaining to the
CompuCom Interest and the RPA Interest under this Agreement are and shall
be first, senior and prior to any other rights now or hereafter claimed
therein by NationsBank, whether under the Credit Agreement or otherwise,
and all security interests, collateral assignments, pledges, liens,
mortgages, rights or other interests now or hereafter claimed by
NationsBank with respect to the Collateral (other than its interest as a
Beneficial Secured Party under this Agreement) shall be and hereby are
expressly subordinated and made junior to all such valid and perfected
rights and interests pertaining to the CompuCom Interest and the RPA
Interest under this Agreement.
b. All sales and transfers of the RPA Interest under the RPA are
expressly subject to the interests granted or delegated to Administrative
Secured Party under this Agreement. As among Administrative Secured Party

45
c. All sales and transfers of any portion of the RPA Interest
under the TAA are expressly subject to the interests granted to
Administrative Secured Party under this Agreement. As among Administrative

paragraph 9.3(e), EFC agrees that all valid and perfected rights and

collateral assignments, pledges, liens, mortgages, rights or other
interests now or hereafter claimed by EFC (or any assignee of EFC under
the TAA) with respect to the Collateral (other than EFC's interest as a

that all rights and interests in the RPA Interest conveyed or claimed
thereunder are subject to the rights and interests of Administrative
Secured Party under this Agreement. EFC agrees that it will not sell or
transfer any portion of the RPA Interest to any Person (except assignments
of EFC's rights therein to the limited extent provided by the TAA as of
the Effective Date, PROVIDED that any such portions of the RPA Interests
assigned pursuant to any such assignments shall at all times be and remain
subject to the rights of Administrative Secured Party under the
Administration Documents).

that until termination of this Agreement, if it from time to time comes
into possession of any Collections other than as provided by paragraph

the benefit of the Beneficial Secured Parties according to their respective
Pro Rata Percentages and shall be paid forthwith to Administrative Secured
Party, for the account of the Beneficial Secured Parties, for deposit to
the Concentration Account and administration under paragraph 2.1(c) of this
Agreement. In the event any Beneficial Secured Party is required to

Beneficial Secured Party in respect of Collections as required by this
paragraph 9.3(d) then, for purposes of this paragraph 9.3(d) and clause (1)
of the definition of "Contract Term" in the Definitions of this Agreement,

Party pursuant to this paragraph 9.3(d).
e. As among Administrative Secured Party and the Beneficial
Secured Parties only, the subordinations, priorities and agreements
specified in paragraph 9.3(a), paragraph 9.3(b) and paragraph 9.3(c) are
applicable irrespective of the time or order of filing of financing
statements with respect thereto, PROVIDED, that such subordinations,
priorities and agreements are SOLELY for the respective benefit of
Administrative Secured Party and the Beneficial Secured Parties, as a
separate contractual agreement among themselves only, and shall not in any
event operate, entitle or be construed to allow any other Person
(specifically including without limitation any trustee in bankruptcy) to
any rights or priority over Administrative Secured Party or the Beneficial
Secured Parties, or any of them. The subordinations, priorities and
agreements specified in paragraph 9.3(a), paragraph 9.3(b) and
paragraph 9.3(c) shall not be effective to the extent, if any, that any
rights or interests pertaining to the CompuCom Interest or the RPA Interest
for any reason are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, unenforceable, unperfected or avoidable, or subordinate to any
Person other than Administrative Secured Party and the Beneficial Secured
Parties.

now or hereafter liable to such Beneficial Secured Party upon any of the
Secured Obligations, or permit substitutions, or renew, increase, extend or
accept partial payments upon any of the Secured Obligations, or amend or
modify the terms of any instrument or agreement evidencing or otherwise
securing same, or any part thereof, in such manner and at such times from
time to time, as it may determine in its sole discretion, without notice
to or consent from the other, and without in any manner impairing the
rights and obligations under this Agreement (PROVIDED, that the foregoing
shall not impair any condition or requirement imposed upon CompuCom by any
Beneficial Secured Party pursuant to the FSA, the RPA or the TAA,
respectively).
g. Until termination of this Agreement each of NationsBank, CFI
and EFC each agrees, for itself and its successors and assigns, that it
will not take any action to foreclose, repossess, marshal, control, or
exercise remedies or other rights with respect to any Collateral, whether
pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the RPA or the TAA, respectively, or
otherwise (subject to NationsBank's prior rights in respect of returned
inventory under the FSA as provided in paragraph 9.3(h)), PROVIDED, that
the foregoing shall not prohibit or restrict NationsBank, CFI or EFC from
asserting and protecting their respective interests in the
47
Collateral in any bankruptcy proceeding, SUBJECT AT ALL TIMES HOWEVER, to
all other terms and provisions of this Agreement.
h. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement regarding
rights and relative priorities of interests among Administrative Secured
Party and the Beneficial Secured Parties, it is agreed that all rights
and interests, if any, of Administrative Secured Party, CFI and EFC,
respectively, at any time arising in returned inventory shall be subject
to the prior rights and interests of NationsBank in returned inventory
under the FSA and perfected rights, if any, in returned inventory in favor
of any Person who is a seller of inventory to CompuCom, existing as of the
Effective Date.
i. Notwithstanding the sale and transfer by CompuCom to CFI of
the RPA Interest pursuant to the RPA, and any contemporaneous or subsequent
transfer of a portion thereof by CFI to EFC, from time to time, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the RPA or the TAA,
for so long as CompuCom is owner of the CompuCom Interest and until

successors and assigns, that (i) for so long as no Event of Default is in
existence and continuing, CompuCom shall have the sole and exclusive right
to service, administer and collect the Receivables, SUBJECT AT ALL TIMES,
HOWEVER, to the administration of Collections as provided in Article II and
all other rights, interests and remedies of Administrative Secured Party
under the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and no notice or action
under the RPA or TAA shall be effective to limit or preclude such rights
of CompuCom or grant rights to any Person which are inconsistent or in
conflict therewith, (ii) following the occurrence and during the existence
of any Event of Default, any Person other than CompuCom who is appointed to
service Receivables under the RPA or who is appointed as "Collection Agent"
under the TAA shall be a Person that is acceptable to Administrative
Secured Party and the Beneficial Secured Parties, and (iii) without the
prior written consent of Administrative Secured Party, no party to this
Agreement shall (A) exercise any dominion and control over the Collateral

Agreement shall limit or restrict (i) NationsBank in the exercise of rights
and remedies under the Credit Agreement, (ii) CFI in the exercise of rights

Beneficial Secured Parties, to receive, collect and administer the
Receivables in accordance with the provisions of the Administration
Documents.

without notice to the other except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
VII.4 OTHER RIGHTS; WAIVER OF MARSHALING. Each of NationsBank, CFI and
EFC waives marshaling as to the other, and agrees that each shall be entitled to
pursue rights and remedies against CompuCom or in respect of property of
CompuCom other than the Collateral as may be provided by any other agreement.
VII.5 ACCESS TO INFORMATION. In consideration of the mutual benefits
of this Agreement, each of NationsBank, CFI and EFC agrees that, upon request,
it will provide to Administrative Secured Party any information available to it

collecting Receivables. CompuCom expressly agrees and consents to the providing
of any such information for such purpose.
VII.6 PAYMENTS BY ADMINISTRATIVE SECURED PARTY. Administrative Secured
Party shall have no further duty or obligations in respect of any Collections
following administration and transfer thereof in compliance with the
requirements of paragraph 2.1. Each Beneficial Secured Party, severally
according to its respective Pro Rata Percentage, agrees to promptly reimburse
Administrative Secured Party for any checks or items deposited to the
Concentration Account and transferred to such Beneficial Secured Party pursuant
to paragraph 2.1 which are returned unpaid for any reason, PROVIDED, that EFC
shall make any such reimbursement only to the extent that it has received
sufficient funds from all sellers of accounts to it in excess of the amount
necessary to pay matured and maturing commercial paper. In the event EFC, CFI,
or any Person claiming through or under either of them, including any assignee
under the TAA, at any time makes demand upon Administrative Secured Party for
payment of any amount in respect of Collections
49
relative to the RPA Interest, Administrative Secured Party shall be fully
protected in depositing such amount to the CFI Account or, at Administrative
Secured Party's option in its sole discretion, making such payment jointly
payable to CFI and any such claimant and delivering same to an officer of CFI
or such claimant, and in either of such instances, Administrative Secured
Party shall be fully released and discharged from further duty or obligation
in respect of such amount.

provisions of this Article IX, PROVIDED, that none of the provisions of this
Article IX shall inure to the benefit of CompuCom. CompuCom shall not be

of CompuCom for the purpose of establishing a means by which CompuCom may
utilize its Receivables to access working capital sources VIA the Credit
Agreement and the RPA, as CompuCom shall determine. CompuCom acknowledges that
it has and will continue to receive direct equivalent value for the interests
granted pursuant to this Agreement. CompuCom acknowledges and agrees that (i)
Administrative Secured Party's agreement to serve in such capacity and perform
its duties under the Administration Documents, (ii) NationsBank's agreements
under the Credit Agreement and (iii) CFI's agreements under the RPA and EFC's
agreements under the TAA, respectively, each separately and also collectively
together, constitutes value given to CompuCom for purposes of Section
9.203(a)(2) of the Texas UCC.
VIII.5 ADMINISTRATIVE SECURED PARTY. CompuCom and the Beneficial
Secured Parties have designated NationsBank, in its capacity as Administrative
Secured Party, to serve as Administrative Secured Party as provided by this
Agreement. Each party to this Agreement, for itself and its successors and
assigns, acknowledges that (i) NationsBank is a creditor of CompuCom and that
CFI is a wholly owned subsidiary of CompuCom, (ii) NationsBank, N.A., which is
an affiliate of NationsBank, is a party to the TAA as Agent thereunder, and also
is a Bank Investor, the Liquidity Support Provider and the Credit Support
Provider, as such terms are defined, and as provided, thereunder, (iii)
52
appointment of NationsBank to serve as Administrative Secured Party is not a
condition or prerequisite to execution or performance of this Agreement, and
each of CompuCom, NationsBank, CFI and EFC has indicated its willingness to
enter into this Agreement with the Administrative Secured Party being a Person
other than NationsBank, PROVIDED that any such Person otherwise is acceptable to
all parties.
VIII.6 EXERCISE OF RIGHTS. The Beneficial Secured Parties shall not at
any time be required to institute suit or exercise or exhaust remedies against
any Person obligated to pay any of the Secured Obligations, or against any other
property or other security of the payment of same, prior to exercise by
Administrative Secured Party of the rights under this Agreement.
VIII.7 ADMINISTRATIVE SECURED PARTY'S RECORDS; ACCOUNT STATEMENTS.
Administrative Secured Party's records in respect of Collections administered
under this Agreement shall be deemed conclusive absent demonstration of error
and all statements of account rendered by Administrative Secured Party to
CompuCom relating same shall be presumed to be correct and accurate unless,
within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof, CompuCom shall notify
Administrative Secured Party in writing of any claimed error therein.
VIII.8 INDEMNITY.
(a) THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. Any Indemnified Person shall notify
CompuCom promptly after such Indemnified Person's receipt of notice, or
such Indemnified Person otherwise becoming aware, of any third-party claims
with respect to which indemnification may be sought under this Section;
PROVIDED THAT, the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify CompuCom
shall not relieve CompuCom of any liability (x) under any provision hereof,
(y) to such Indemnified Person by reason of this Section unless such
Indemnified Person's failure to so notify CompuCom materially prejudices
CompuCom's ability to contest the third-party claim, or (z) to any other
Indemnified Person under this Section or any other provision hereof. In
case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Person and it
notifies CompuCom of the commencement thereof, CompuCom shall be entitled
to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish to assume the
defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified
Person, and after notice from CompuCom to such Indemnified Person of its
election to assume the defense thereof, CompuCom will not be liable to such
Indemnified Person under this Subsection for any legal fees and expenses
subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the
defense thereof. Any one or more of the Indemnified Persons shall have
the right to
53
employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the
defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Persons unless (i) the
employment of such has been specifically authorized in writing by CompuCom
or (ii) representation of both CompuCom and such Indemnified Person or
Indemnified Persons by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to
actual or potential differing interests between them. CompuCom shall not
be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its
written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff in any such action with or without consent,
CompuCom agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Persons
from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or
final judgment. CompuCom shall not, without the prior written consent of
the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened
proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been
a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified
Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such
Indemnified Person from all liabilities and claims that are the subject
matter of such proceeding. Any indemnification will be paid promptly upon
demand therefor.
(b) CONTRIBUTION. If for any reason the indemnification
provided above in this Section is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or
is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Person harmless, then CompuCom shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a
result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such
Indemnified Person on the one hand and CompuCom on the other hand but also
the relative fault of such Indemnified Person, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations.
VIII.9 INTEREST LIMITATION. CompuCom expressly agrees that any
provision contained in the Credit Agreement, the RPA, the TAA or any other
agreement between CompuCom and NationsBank, CFI or EFC, respectively,
pertaining to limitations on the maximum rate of interest that may be
contracted, charged or received in connection therewith shall be deemed
applicable to any payments, rights or benefits paid or accrued to such party
under the Administration Documents.
VIII.10 COSTS AND EXPENSES. CompuCom agrees to pay all costs and
expenses incurred by Administrative Secured Party in connection with the
Administration Documents, including without limitation: (i) negotiation,
preparation and closing of the Administration Documents, including attorneys
fees and disbursements, search fees, filing and recording fees, (ii) ongoing
administration of the Administration Documents,
54
including without limitation, fees and costs incurred in consultation with
attorneys, (iii) negotiation, preparation and closing of any amendment,
waiver or consent relating to the Administration Documents, including
attorneys fees and disbursements, search fees, filing and recording fees, and
(iv) enforcing any provision of the Administration Documents, collection and
