        WHEREAS, each of the Debtors (other than the Company) has guaranteed all obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement, the Note Agreement and certain other financing arrangements, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each of the Debtors (other than the Company) has reaffirmed its obligations under such guarantees by entering into (a) the Confirmation attached to the Third Amendment, dated as of October 24, 2003, to the Credit Agreement, and (b) the Reaffirmation of Guaranty attached to the Third Amendment, dated as of September 30, 2003, to the Note Agreement;

        WHEREAS, pursuant to an Intercreditor Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Intercreditor Agreement"), the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders, the Purchasers and the Collateral Agent have agreed that (i) the Benefited Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) shall be secured and guaranteed pari passu and (ii) Bank of America shall act as collateral agent for the Benefited Parties (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement); and

        WHEREAS, the Benefited Obligations of each Debtor are to be secured pursuant to this Agreement;



        NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

2


        2.    Grant of Security Interest.    As security for the payment of all of its Liabilities, each Debtor hereby assigns to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Benefited Parties, and grants to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Benefited Parties a continuing security interest in, all of such Debtor's right, title and interest in the following:

3


in each case whether now or hereafter existing or acquired, together with all books, records, writings, data bases, information and other property relating to, used or useful in connection with, evidencing, embodying, incorporating or referring to any of the foregoing, all proceeds, products, offspring, rents, issues, profits and returns of and from any of the foregoing, all distributions on or rights arising out of any of the foregoing, and all claims and/or insurance payments arising out of the loss, nonconformity or interference with the use of, or infringements of rights in, or damage to, any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the security interests granted under this Agreement shall not extend to (a) any property of a Debtor that is subject to a Lien permitted by Section 7.01(d), (e), (h), (k) or (l) (but in the case of Section 7.01(l), solely with respect to purchase money security interests or leases of equipment or other personal property and so long as the senior Lien attaches only to the property so acquired or leased) of the Credit Agreement and Section 10.5(c), (h), (i) or (j) of the Note Agreement pursuant to an agreement or an applicable law that prohibits such Debtor from granting any other Lien in such property, provided that (i) such Debtor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid any such provision in any agreement (and cause the removal of any such prohibition from any existing agreement) and to obtain all necessary approvals to permit the Lien of the Collateral Agent on any such property and (ii) such debtor agrees not to enter into any such agreement after the date hereof other than purchase money contracts and leases of equipment or other personal property; (b) any lease, license or other contract if the grant of a security interest in such property in the manner contemplated by this Agreement is prohibited thereunder or by law and would result in the termination of, or any claim for damages or the availability of any other remedial action under, such lease, license or other contract, but only, in the case of both clause (a) and clause (b) above, to the extent that such prohibition is not rendered ineffective by the UCC, any other applicable law or general principles of equity (it being understood that if and when any such prohibition is removed, the Collateral Agent will be deemed to have been granted a security interest in the applicable property, lease, license or other contract as of the date hereof, and the Collateral will be

4



deemed to include such property, lease, license or other contract); (c) any equity interests of a Foreign Subsidiary (as defined in the Credit Agreement); or (d) any property that is subject to (1) Task Order V ((TeleTech Owned Solution Center) GTE.Net LLC d/b/a Verizon Internet Solutions and TeleTech Customer Care Management (Telecommunications), Inc.), effective May 1, 1999, or (2) Task Order VI (Verizon Select Services Inc. f/k/a GTE Communications Corporation and TeleTech Customer Care Management (Telecommunications), Inc.), effective June 1, 2000, each of which was entered into in connection with the Client Services Agreement between TeleTech Customer Care Management (Telecommunications), Inc. and GTE Card Services Incorporated d/b/a GTE Solutions (predecessor in interest to Verizon Internet Solutions), effective July 1, 1999, as amended, in each case as in effect on the date hereof, so long as a negative pledge exists with respect to such property.

        3.    Warranties.    Each Debtor warrants that: (i) no financing statement (other than any which may have been filed on behalf of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Benefited Parties) covering any of the Collateral is on file in any public office, other than financing statements related to Permitted Liens or Liens that have been terminated (and such Debtor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly terminate all financing statements relating to such terminated Liens); (ii) such Debtor is and will be the lawful owner of all Collateral, free of all liens and claims whatsoever, other than the security interest hereunder and Permitted Liens, with full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform such Debtor's obligations hereunder and to subject the Collateral to the security interest hereunder; (iii) all information with respect to Collateral and Account Debtors set forth in any schedule, certificate or other writing furnished in connection with this Agreement or any Financing Agreement by such Debtor to the Collateral Agent or any other Benefited Party will be true and correct in all material respects as of the date furnished; (iv) such Debtor's true legal name as registered in the jurisdiction in which such Debtor is organized or incorporated, state of organization or incorporation, federal employer identification number, organizational identification number as designated by the state of its organization or incorporation, chief executive office and principal place of business are as set forth on Schedule I (and, except as set forth on Schedule I, such Debtor has not maintained its chief executive office and principal place of business at any other location at any time after October 1, 1998); (v) each other location within the United States where such Debtor maintains a place of business or has any Goods is set forth on Schedule II hereto; (vi) except as disclosed on Schedule III, such Debtor is not now known and during the five years preceding the date hereof has not previously been known by any trade name; (vii) except as disclosed on Schedule III, during the five years preceding the date hereof, such Debtor has not been known by any legal name different from the one set forth on the signature page of this Agreement, nor has such Debtor been the subject of any merger or other corporate reorganization; (viii) Schedule IV hereto contains a complete listing of all of such Debtor's Intellectual Property which is registered under applicable registration statutes and (ix) upon the filing of financing statements on Form UCC-1 in the appropriate governmental offices, the Collateral Agent will have a valid lien upon and perfected security interest in all of the Collateral in which a security interest can be perfected by filing under the UCC (subject only to Permitted Liens).

        4.    Collections, etc.    The Collateral Agent may, at any time that a Default exists, whether before or after the maturity of any of the Liabilities, notify any parties obligated on any of the Non-Tangible Collateral to make payment to the Collateral Agent of any amounts due or to become due thereunder and enforce collection of any of the Non-Tangible Collateral by suit or otherwise and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder or evidenced thereby. Promptly following any request of the Collateral Agent during the existence of a Default, each Debtor will, at its own expense, notify any parties obligated on any of the Non-Tangible Collateral to make payment to the Collateral Agent of any amounts due or to become due thereunder.

5



        Upon request by the Collateral Agent during the existence of a Default, each Debtor will forthwith, upon receipt, transmit and deliver to the Collateral Agent, in the form received, all cash, checks, drafts and other instruments or writings for the payment of money (properly endorsed, where required, so that such items may be collected by the Collateral Agent) which may be received by such Debtor at any time in full or partial payment or otherwise as proceeds of any of the Collateral. Except as the Collateral Agent may otherwise consent in writing, any such items requested to be delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence which may be so received by any Debtor will not be commingled with any other of its funds or property, but will be held separate and apart from its own funds or property and upon express trust for the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Benefited Parties until delivery is made to the Collateral Agent. Each Debtor will comply with the terms and conditions of any consent given by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing sentence.

        Upon request by the Collateral Agent during the existence of a Default, all items or amounts which are delivered by any Debtor to the Collateral Agent on account of partial or full payment or otherwise as proceeds of any of the Collateral shall be deposited to the credit of a deposit account (each an "Assignee Deposit Account") of such Debtor maintained with the Collateral Agent, as security for payment of the Liabilities. No Debtor shall have any right to withdraw any funds deposited in the applicable Assignee Deposit Account. The Collateral Agent may, from time to time, in its discretion, and shall upon request of the applicable Debtor made not more than once in any week, apply all or any of the then balance, representing collected funds, in the Assignee Deposit Account, toward payment of the Liabilities, whether or not then due, in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, and the Collateral Agent may, from time to time, in its discretion, release all or any of such balance to the applicable Debtor.

        During the existence of a Default, the Collateral Agent is authorized to endorse, in the name of the applicable Debtor, any item, howsoever received by the Collateral Agent, representing any payment on or other proceeds of any of the Collateral.

        No Debtor shall maintain any Deposit Account or deposit any items or amounts in any Deposit Account, except (i) Deposit Accounts maintained with the Collateral Agent, (ii) Deposit Accounts maintained in a jurisdiction outside the United States and (iii) Deposit Accounts as to which such Debtor, the Collateral Agent and the depository bank have entered into an agreement that the depositary bank will comply with instructions originated by the Collateral Agent directing disposition of the funds in the account without further consent by such Debtor; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not provide such instructions unless a Default exists.

        Each Debtor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as the attorney-in-fact for such Debtor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing or completing any instruments which the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not exercise its rights as such attorney-in-fact unless a Default exists.

        5.    Certificates, Schedules and Reports.    Each Debtor will, from time to time, deliver to the Collateral Agent and any Benefited Party such schedules, certificates and reports respecting all or any of the Collateral at the time subject to the security interest hereunder, and the items or amounts received by such Debtor in full or partial payment of any of the Collateral, as the Collateral Agent or such Benefited Party may reasonably request.

6



        6.    Agreements of the Debtors.    Each Debtor (a) will, from time to time, deliver to the Collateral Agent such financing statements and other documents (and pay the cost of filing or recording the same in all public offices reasonably deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent) and do such other acts and things (including, without limitation, delivery to the Collateral Agent of any Instruments or Certificated Securities which constitute Collateral), as are necessary or as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, to establish and maintain a valid, perfected security interest in the Collateral (free of all other liens, claims and rights of third parties whatsoever, other than Permitted Liens) to secure the payment of the Liabilities (and each Debtor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file any financing statement without its signature, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and/or to file a copy of this Agreement as a financing statement in any jurisdiction), provided that, unless requested by the Collateral Agent during the existence of a Default, no Debtor shall be required to take any action to perfect the Collateral Agent's security interest in Collateral located outside the United States (it being understood that accounts receivable owed to a Debtor by a non-United States Person shall be deemed to be located in the United States); (b) will keep all its Inventory (other than Inventory located outside the United States) at, and will not maintain any place of business at any location other than, its address(es) shown on Schedules I and II hereto or at such other addresses of which such Debtor shall have given the Collateral Agent not less than 10 days' prior written notice; (c) will not change its state of organization or incorporation or its name, identity or corporate structure such that any financing statement filed to perfect the Collateral Agent's interests under this Agreement would become seriously misleading, unless such Debtor shall have given the Collateral Agent not less than 30 days' (or such shorter period as may be approved by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion) prior notice of such change; (d) will keep complete records concerning the Non-Tangible Collateral consistent with prudent business practices for similarly-situated companies; (e) will furnish the Collateral Agent such information concerning such Debtor, the Collateral and the Account Debtors of such Debtor as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request; (f) will, upon request of the Collateral Agent during the existence of a Default, stamp on its records concerning the Collateral and add on all Chattel Paper constituting a portion of the Collateral, a notation, in form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, of the security interest of the Collateral Agent hereunder; (g) without limiting the provisions of Section 6.07 of the Credit Agreement or Section 9.2 of the Note Agreement, will at all times keep all its Inventory and other Goods insured under policies maintained with reputable, financially sound insurance companies against loss, damage, theft and other risks to such extent as is customarily maintained by companies similarly situated, and cause all such policies to provide that loss thereunder shall be payable to the Collateral Agent as its interest may appear (it being understood that (A) so long as no Default shall be existing, the Collateral Agent shall promptly deliver any proceeds of such insurance which may be received by it to such Debtor and (B) whenever a Default shall be existing, the Collateral Agent may apply any proceeds of such insurance which may be received by it toward payment of the Liabilities, whether or not due, in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) and such policies or certificates thereof shall, if the Collateral Agent so requests, be deposited with or furnished to the Collateral Agent; (h) will take such actions as are reasonably necessary to keep its Inventory in good repair and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted; (i) without limiting the provisions of Section 6.06 of the Credit Agreement or Section 9.3 of the Note Agreement, will take such actions as are reasonably necessary to keep its Equipment in good repair and condition and in good working or running order, ordinary wear and tear excepted; (j) without limiting the provisions of Section 6.04 of the Credit Agreement or Section 9.4 of the Note Agreement, will promptly pay when due all license fees, registration fees, taxes, assessments and other charges which may be levied upon or assessed against the ownership, operation, possession, maintenance or use of its Equipment and other Goods (as applicable); provided that such Debtor shall not be required to pay any such fee, tax, assessment or other charge if the validity thereof is being contested by such Debtor in good faith by appropriate proceedings; (k) will, promptly upon request of the Collateral Agent during the existence of a Default, (I) cause the security interest of the Collateral Agent to be noted on each certificate of title covering Equipment specified by the Collateral Agent and

7



(II) deliver all such certificates to the Collateral Agent or its designee; (l) will take all steps reasonably necessary to protect, preserve and maintain all of its rights in the Collateral, provided that nothing in this clause (l) shall limit the ability of such Debtor to dispose of any Collateral pursuant to a transaction that is not otherwise prohibited by the Credit Agreement or the Note Agreement; (m) will permit the Collateral Agent and its designees, from time to time, on reasonable notice and at reasonable times and intervals during normal business hours (or at any time without notice during the existence of a Default) to inspect such Debtor's Inventory and other Goods, and to inspect, audit and make copies of and extracts from all records and other papers in the possession of such Debtor pertaining to the Collateral and the Account Debtors, and will, upon reasonable request of the Collateral Agent during the existence of a Default, deliver to the Collateral Agent all of such records and papers; (n) will not create or permit to exist any lien on or security interest in any Collateral other than Permitted Liens and liens and security interests in favor of the Collateral Agent; (o) will, within one Business Day following the termination of any account control agreement with respect to a Deposit Account or Securities Account maintained by such Debtor, cause all amounts on deposit in such account (and, in the case of a Deposit Account, within one Business Day after receipt, all amounts deposited to such account following such termination) to be transferred to an account with another financial institution that is subject to an account control agreement with the Collateral Agent that is in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent; (p) will not open any Deposit Account or Securities Account (other than Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts maintained outside the United States) after the date hereof unless, concurrently with such opening, such account is made subject to a control agreement in favor of the Collateral Agent that is in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent (it being understood that any such control agreement with Bank of America shall be in substantially the same form as the account control agreement being entered into with Bank of America concurrently herewith); (r) will not fund any payroll account maintained by such Debtor (i) with amounts in excess of the amount necessary to make the next payroll or (ii) earlier than three Business Days prior to the date on which payroll must be made; and (s) will, promptly upon any Responsible Officer (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the general counsel or any assistant general counsel of such Debtor obtaining knowledge that such Debtor has acquired a Commercial Tort Claim having a value reasonably expected to exceed $500,000, notify the Collateral Agent in a writing signed by such Debtor of the details of such commercial tort claim and grant to the Collateral Agent in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

        Whenever a Default shall be existing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to bring suit to enforce any or all of the Intellectual Property or licenses thereunder, in which event the applicable Debtor shall at the request of the Collateral Agent do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper documents required by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement and such Debtor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent for all Costs and Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Benefited Party shall have any obligation or liability regarding the Collateral or any thereof by reason of, or arising out of, this Agreement.

        7.    Default.    (a) Whenever a Default shall be existing, the Collateral Agent may exercise from time to time any rights and remedies available to it under the UCC and any other applicable law (in addition to those described below).

        (b)   Each Debtor agrees, at the Collateral Agent's request during the existence of a Default, (i) to assemble, at its expense, all its Inventory and other Goods (other than Fixtures) at a convenient place or places acceptable to the Collateral Agent, and (ii) to execute all such documents and do all such other things which may be necessary or desirable in order to enable the Collateral Agent or its nominee to be registered as owner of the Intellectual Property with any competent registration authority.

8



        (c)   Notice of the intended disposition of any Collateral may be given by first-class mail, hand-delivery (through a delivery service or otherwise), facsimile or E-mail, and shall be deemed to have been "sent" upon deposit in the United States mail with adequate postage properly affixed, upon delivery to an express delivery service or upon the electronic submission through telephonic or Internet services, as applicable. Each Debtor hereby agrees and acknowledges that (i) with respect to Collateral that is: (A) perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or (B) is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, no notice of disposition need be given; and (ii) with respect to Collateral not described in clause (i)above, notification sent after a Default and ten days before any proposed disposition provides notice with a reasonable time before disposition.

        (d)   Each Debtor hereby agrees and acknowledges that a commercially reasonable disposition of Inventory, Equipment, Computer Hardware and Software or Intellectual Property may be by lease or license of, in addition to the sale of, such Collateral. Each Debtor further agrees and acknowledges that a disposition (i) made in the usual manner on any recognized market, (ii) at the price current in any recognized market at the time of disposition or (iii) in conformity with reasonable commercial practices among dealers in the type of property subject to the disposition shall, in each case, be deemed commercially reasonable.

        (e)   Any cash proceeds of any disposition by the Collateral Agent of any of the Collateral shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to the payment of Costs and Expenses and thereafter to the payment of any and all of the other Liabilities in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, and thereafter any surplus will be paid to the applicable Debtor or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. The Collateral Agent need not apply or pay over for application noncash proceeds of collection and enforcement unless (i) the failure to do so would be commercially unreasonable and (ii) the applicable Debtor has provided the Collateral Agent with a written demand to apply or pay over such noncash proceeds on such basis.

        8.    General.    The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession if it takes such action for that purpose as any applicable Debtor requests in writing, but failure of the Collateral Agent to comply with any such request shall not of itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care, and no failure of the Collateral Agent to preserve or protect any rights with respect to the Collateral against prior parties, or to do any act with respect to the preservation of the Collateral not so requested by any Debtor, shall be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of the Collateral.

        Any notice hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission) and shall be sent to the applicable party at the address of its chief executive office shown on Schedule I (or, in the case of the Collateral Agent, underneath its signature hereto) or at such other address as such party may have designated as its address for such purpose by (i) written notice received by the Collateral Agent or (ii) in the case of a change of the Collateral Agent's address, written notice received by the Company (which shall be conclusively presumed to have been received by all other parties).

        No delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Collateral Agent of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

9



        Unless released in writing by the Collateral Agent, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until all Liabilities have been paid in cash in full and all commitments to create Liabilities have terminated. If at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by the Collateral Agent or any other Benefited Party to any of the Liabilities is or must be rescinded or returned by the Collateral Agent or any other Benefited Party for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Debtor), such Liabilities shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by the Collateral Agent or such Benefited Party, and this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Liabilities, all as though such application by the Collateral Agent or such Benefited Party had not been made.

        This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State (except to the extent that, pursuant to New York law, the perfection, the effect of perfection or nonperfection or the priority of any security interest granted hereunder may be determined in accordance with the laws of a different jurisdiction). Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

        This Agreement shall be binding upon the Debtors and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Debtors, the Collateral Agent, each Benefited Party and the respective successors and assigns of the Collateral Agent and the Benefited Parties.

        This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.
