their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and
complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) of the Borrower Obligations.

 

(B)                                 ANYTHING HEREIN OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT TO THE CONTRARY NOTWITHSTANDING, THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF EACH
GUARANTOR HEREUNDER AND UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED
THE AMOUNT WHICH CAN BE GUARANTEED BY SUCH GUARANTOR UNDER APPLICABLE FEDERAL
AND STATE LAWS RELATING TO THE INSOLVENCY OF DEBTORS (AFTER GIVING EFFECT TO THE
RIGHT OF CONTRIBUTION ESTABLISHED IN SECTION 2.2).

 

(C)                                  EACH GUARANTOR AGREES THAT THE BORROWER
OBLIGATIONS MAY AT ANY TIME AND FROM TIME TO TIME EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF THE
LIABILITY OF SUCH GUARANTOR HEREUNDER WITHOUT IMPAIRING THE GUARANTEE CONTAINED
IN THIS SECTION 2 OR AFFECTING THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT OR ANY OTHER SECURED PARTY HEREUNDER.

 

(D)                                 SUBJECT TO REINSTATEMENT AS PROVIDED IN
SECTION 2.6, THE GUARANTEE CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 2 SHALL REMAIN IN FULL
FORCE AND EFFECT UNTIL ALL THE BORROWER OBLIGATIONS AND THE OBLIGATIONS OF

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

EACH GUARANTOR UNDER THE GUARANTEE CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 2 SHALL HAVE BEEN
SATISFIED BY PAYMENT IN FULL, NO LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE OUTSTANDING AND THE
COMMITMENTS SHALL BE TERMINATED, NOTWITHSTANDING THAT FROM TIME TO TIME DURING
THE TERM OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT THE BORROWER MAY BE FREE FROM THE BORROWER
OBLIGATIONS.

 

(E)                                  NO PAYMENT MADE BY THE BORROWER, ANY OF THE
GUARANTORS, ANY OTHER GUARANTOR OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR RECEIVED OR COLLECTED BY
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OTHER SECURED PARTY FROM THE BORROWER, ANY OF
THE GUARANTORS, ANY OTHER GUARANTOR OR ANY OTHER PERSON BY VIRTUE OF ANY ACTION
OR PROCEEDING OR ANY SET-OFF OR APPROPRIATION OR APPLICATION AT ANY TIME OR FROM
TIME TO TIME IN REDUCTION OF OR IN PAYMENT OF THE BORROWER OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE
DEEMED TO MODIFY, REDUCE, RELEASE OR OTHERWISE AFFECT THE LIABILITY OF ANY
GUARANTOR HEREUNDER WHICH SHALL, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY SUCH PAYMENT (OTHER THAN

PAYMENT RECEIVED OR COLLECTED FROM SUCH GUARANTOR IN RESPECT OF THE BORROWER

LIABILITY OF SUCH GUARANTOR HEREUNDER UNTIL (SUBJECT TO REINSTATEMENT AS
PROVIDED IN SECTION 2.6) ALL BORROWER OBLIGATIONS ARE PAID IN FULL, NO LETTER OF
CREDIT SHALL BE OUTSTANDING AND THE COMMITMENTS ARE TERMINATED.

 

2.2                       Right of Contribution.  Each Guarantor hereby agrees
that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate
share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek
and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which
has not paid its proportionate share of such payment.  Each Guarantor’s right of
contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3.  The
provisions of this Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and
liabilities of any Guarantor to the Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall
remain liable to the Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such
Guarantor hereunder.

 

2.3                       No Subrogation.  Notwithstanding any payment made by
any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor
by any Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of
the rights of any Secured Party against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or
any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Borrower
Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any
contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Guarantor in
respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all Borrower
Obligations are paid in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the
Commitments are terminated.  If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on
account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Borrower
Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such
Guarantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such
Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over
to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly
indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be
applied against the Borrower Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as
provided by Section 6.5 hereof.

 

2.4                       Amendments, etc. with respect to the Borrower
Obligations.  Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding
that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice
to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the
Borrower Obligations made by any Secured Party may be rescinded by the
Administrative Agent or such Secured Party and any of the Borrower Obligations
continued, and the Borrower Obligations, or the liability of any other Person
upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor
or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in
part, be renewed, extended, amended,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, and the Credit Agreement and
the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in
connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in
whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Majority Lenders or all
Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any
collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Borrower
Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.  Neither
the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation
to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as
security for the Borrower Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this
Section 2 or any property subject thereto.

 

2.5                       Guarantee Absolute, Irrevocable and Unconditional. 
Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or
accrual of any of the Borrower Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance
any Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance
of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Borrower Obligations, and any
of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or
incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the
guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Borrower and
any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other
hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in

contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute,
irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the

ANY AND ALL OF THE PLEDGED SECURITIES UPON THE MERGER, CONSOLIDATION,

DELIVER ANY AND ALL OF THE PLEDGED SECURITIES WITH ANY COMMITTEE, DEPOSITARY,
TRANSFER AGENT, REGISTRAR OR OTHER DESIGNATED AGENCY UPON SUCH TERMS AND

AGENT SHALL HAVE NO DUTY TO ANY GRANTOR TO EXERCISE ANY SUCH RIGHT, PRIVILEGE OR
OPTION AND SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO DO SO OR DELAY IN SO
DOING.

 

(C)                                  EACH GRANTOR HEREBY AUTHORIZES AND
INSTRUCTS EACH ISSUER OF ANY PLEDGED SECURITIES PLEDGED BY SUCH GRANTOR
HEREUNDER TO COMPLY WITH ANY INSTRUCTION RECEIVED BY IT FROM THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT IN WRITING THAT (I) STATES THAT AN EVENT OF DEFAULT HAS OCCURRED AND IS

WITHOUT ANY OTHER OR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS FROM SUCH GRANTOR, AND EACH GRANTOR

6.4                       Proceeds To Be Turned Over to Administrative Agent. 
In addition to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders specified
in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default
shall occur and be continuing, and the Administrative Agent has so requested,
all Proceeds received by any Grantor in respect of Collateral consisting of
cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust
for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated

 

19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such
Grantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received
by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, if
required).  All Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be
held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its
sole dominion and control.  All Proceeds while held by the Administrative Agent
in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all
the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as
provided in Section 6.5.

 

6.5                       Application of Proceeds.  At such intervals as may be
agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, or, if an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Administrative
Agent’s election, the Administrative Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds
held in any Collateral Account in payment of the Obligations:

 

(a)                                  first, to the payment of the costs and
expenses of such collection, sale or other realization, including out-of-pocket
costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the fees and expenses of its
agents and counsel, and all expenses incurred and advances made by the
Administrative Agent in connection therewith; and

 

(b)                                 next, to the payment in full of the
Obligations, in each case equally and ratably in accordance with the respective
amounts thereof then due and owing or as the Lenders holding the same may
otherwise agree,

 

and any part of such funds which are not required to be applied in payment of
the Obligations in accordance with the foregoing provisions and which
Administrative Agent deems not required as collateral security for the
Obligations shall be paid over from time to time by the Administrative Agent to
the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.  Any
balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Obligations shall have been paid in
full, no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall have
terminated shall be paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully
entitled to receive the same.

 

6.6                       Code and Other Remedies.  If an Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may
exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this
Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or
relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured parry under
the New York UCC or any other applicable law.  Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or
other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except
any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any
other Person (all and each of which demands, protests, advertisements and
notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect,
receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof,
and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or
otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract
to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or
sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or
any Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable
and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future
delivery without assumption of any credit risk.  The Administrative Agent or any
Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the
extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the
whole or any part of the Collateral

 

20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right
or equity is hereby waived and released.  Each Grantor further agrees, at the
Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available
to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall
reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere.  The
Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant
to this Section 6.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every
kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping
of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights
of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in
whole or in part of the Obligations, in the manner set forth in paragraphs
(a) and (b) of Section 6.5, and only after such application and after the
payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any
provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New
York UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any
Grantor.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all
claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or
any Lender arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder.  If any
notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required
by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10
Business Days before such sale or other disposition.

 

6.7                       Private Sales.  (a)  Each Grantor recognizes that the
Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the
Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act
and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to
resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers
which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities
for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or
resale thereof.  Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale
may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a
public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such
private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable
manner.  The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale
of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the
Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities
Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree
to do so.

 

(B)                                 EACH GRANTOR AGREES TO USE ITS BEST EFFORTS
TO DO OR CAUSE TO BE DONE ALL SUCH OTHER ACTS AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO MAKE SUCH
SALE OR SALES OF ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE PLEDGED STOCK PURSUANT TO THIS
SECTION 6.7 VALID AND BINDING AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY AND ALL OTHER
APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF LAW.  EACH GRANTOR FURTHER AGREES THAT A BREACH OF
ANY OF THE COVENANTS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 6.7 WILL CAUSE IRREPARABLE INJURY
TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE OTHER SECURED PARTIES, THAT THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE OTHER SECURED PARTIES HAVE NO ADEQUATE REMEDY AT
LAW IN RESPECT OF SUCH BREACH AND, AS A CONSEQUENCE, THAT EACH AND EVERY
COVENANT CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 6.7 SHALL BE SPECIFICALLY ENFORCEABLE AGAINST
SUCH GRANTOR, AND SUCH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ANY
DEFENSES AGAINST AN ACTION FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF SUCH COVENANTS EXCEPT FOR
A DEFENSE THAT NO EVENT OF DEFAULT HAS OCCURRED AND IS CONTINUING UNDER THE
CREDIT AGREEMENT.

 

6.8                       Deficiency.  Each Grantor shall remain liable for any
deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral
are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any
attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to collect such
deficiency.

 

21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

SECTION 7.  THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

 

7.1                       Administrative Agent’s Appointment as
Attorney-in-Fact, etc.  (a)  Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full
power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full
irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in
the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the
terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute
any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power
and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such
Grantor, to do any or all of the following:

 

(I)                  IN THE NAME OF SUCH GRANTOR OR ITS OWN NAME, OR OTHERWISE,
TAKE POSSESSION OF AND INDORSE AND COLLECT ANY CHECKS, DRAFTS, NOTES,
ACCEPTANCES OR OTHER INSTRUMENTS FOR THE PAYMENT OF MONEYS DUE UNDER ANY
RECEIVABLE OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL AND FILE ANY CLAIM OR TAKE
ANY OTHER ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY COURT OF LAW OR EQUITY OR OTHERWISE
REASONABLY DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF
COLLECTING ANY AND ALL SUCH MONEYS DUE UNDER ANY RECEIVABLE OR WITH RESPECT TO
ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHENEVER PAYABLE;

 

(II)               IN THE CASE OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, EXECUTE AND
DELIVER, AND HAVE RECORDED, ANY AND ALL AGREEMENTS, INSTRUMENTS, DOCUMENTS AND
PAPERS AS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY REASONABLY REQUEST TO EVIDENCE THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S AND THE OTHER SECURED PARTIES’ SECURITY INTEREST IN SUCH
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND THE GOODWILL AND GENERAL INTANGIBLES OF SUCH GRANTOR
RELATING THERETO OR REPRESENTED THEREBY;

 

(III)            PAY OR DISCHARGE TAXES AND LIENS LEVIED OR PLACED ON OR
THREATENED AGAINST THE COLLATERAL, EFFECT ANY REPAIRS OR ANY INSURANCE CALLED

OR 6.7, ANY INDORSEMENTS, ASSIGNMENTS OR OTHER INSTRUMENTS OF CONVEYANCE OR

(V)              (I) DIRECT ANY PARTY LIABLE FOR ANY PAYMENT UNDER ANY OF THE
COLLATERAL TO MAKE PAYMENT OF ANY AND ALL MONEYS DUE OR TO BECOME DUE THEREUNDER
DIRECTLY TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR AS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL
DIRECT; (II) ASK OR DEMAND FOR, COLLECT, AND RECEIVE PAYMENT OF AND RECEIPT FOR,
ANY AND ALL MONEYS, CLAIMS AND OTHER AMOUNTS DUE OR TO BECOME DUE AT ANY TIME IN
RESPECT OF OR ARISING OUT OF ANY COLLATERAL; (III) SIGN AND INDORSE ANY

ANY SUITS, ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS AT LAW OR IN EQUITY IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT
JURISDICTION TO COLLECT THE COLLATERAL OR ANY PORTION THEREOF AND TO ENFORCE ANY
OTHER RIGHT IN RESPECT OF ANY COLLATERAL; (V) DEFEND ANY SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING BROUGHT AGAINST SUCH GRANTOR WITH RESPECT TO ANY COLLATERAL;
(VI) SETTLE, COMPROMISE OR ADJUST ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AND, IN
CONNECTION THEREWITH, GIVE SUCH DISCHARGES OR RELEASES AS THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT MAY DEEM APPROPRIATE; (VII) ASSIGN ANY COPYRIGHT, PATENT OR TRADEMARK
(ALONG WITH THE GOODWILL OF THE BUSINESS TO WHICH ANY SUCH COPYRIGHT, PATENT OR
TRADEMARK PERTAINS), THROUGHOUT

 

22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

THE WORLD FOR SUCH TERM OR TERMS, ON SUCH CONDITIONS, AND IN SUCH MANNER, AS THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION DETERMINE; AND
(VIII) GENERALLY, SELL, TRANSFER, PLEDGE AND MAKE ANY AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO
OR OTHERWISE DEAL WITH ANY OF THE COLLATERAL AS FULLY AND COMPLETELY AS THOUGH
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT WERE THE ABSOLUTE OWNER THEREOF FOR ALL PURPOSES, AND
DO, AT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S OPTION AND SUCH GRANTOR’S EXPENSE, AT ANY
TIME, OR FROM TIME TO TIME, ALL ACTS AND THINGS WHICH THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
REASONABLY DEEMS NECESSARY TO PROTECT, PRESERVE OR REALIZE UPON THE COLLATERAL
AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S AND THE OTHER SECURED PARTIES’ SECURITY INTERESTS
THEREIN AND TO EFFECT THE INTENT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ALL AS FULLY AND EFFECTIVELY
AS SUCH GRANTOR MIGHT DO.

 

Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power
of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing.

 

(B)                                 IF ANY GRANTOR FAILS TO PERFORM OR COMPLY
WITH ANY OF ITS AGREEMENTS CONTAINED HEREIN, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, AT ITS
OPTION, BUT WITHOUT ANY OBLIGATION SO TO DO, MAY PERFORM OR COMPLY, OR OTHERWISE
CAUSE PERFORMANCE OR COMPLIANCE, WITH SUCH AGREEMENT.

 

(C)                                  THE EXPENSES OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH ACTIONS UNDERTAKEN AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 7.1,
TOGETHER WITH INTEREST THEREON AT A RATE PER ANNUM EQUAL TO THE RATE PER ANNUM
AT WHICH INTEREST WOULD THEN BE PAYABLE ON PAST DUE LOANS THAT ARE ABR LOANS
UNDER THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, FROM THE DATE OF PAYMENT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
TO THE DATE REIMBURSED BY THE RELEVANT GRANTOR, SHALL BE PAYABLE BY SUCH GRANTOR
TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ON DEMAND.

 

(D)                                 EACH GRANTOR HEREBY RATIFIES ALL THAT SAID
ATTORNEYS SHALL LAWFULLY DO OR CAUSE TO BE DONE BY VIRTUE HEREOF.  ALL POWERS,
AUTHORIZATIONS AND AGENCIES CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE COUPLED WITH AN
INTEREST AND ARE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED AND THE SECURITY
INTERESTS CREATED HEREBY ARE RELEASED.

 

7.2                       Duty of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative
Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical
preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New
York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the
Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account.  Neither
the Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any of their respective officers,
directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or
realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be
under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the
request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action
whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof, except in each
case as regards the disposition of any Collateral permitted under the Credit
Agreement.  The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’
interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any such powers.  The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be accountable only for amounts that
they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither
they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be
responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for
their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

7.3                       Execution of Financing Statement.  Pursuant to
applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to file or
record financing statements and other filing or recording

 

23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of
such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent
reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement.  Each Grantor authorizes the
Administrative Agent to use the collateral description of “all assets, whether
now owned or hereafter acquired” in any such financing statements.  A
photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a
financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for
filing or recording in any jurisdiction.

 

7.4                       Authority of Administrative Agent.  Each Grantor
acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent
under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative
Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option,
voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or
resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other
agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but,
as between the Administrative Agent and the Grantors, the Administrative Agent
shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Lenders with full
and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be
under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such
authority.

 

SECTION 8.  MISCELLANEOUS

 

8.1                       Amendments in Writing.  None of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified except by a written instrument executed by each affected Grantor and
the Administrative Agent (acting with the required consent, if any, of the
Lenders as provided in the Credit Agreement), provided that any provision of
this Agreement imposing obligations on any Grantor may be waived by the
Administrative Agent in a written instrument executed by the Administrative
Agent (acting with the required consent, if any, of the Lenders as provided in
the Credit Agreement) of the Credit Agreement, subject to the terms of the
Credit Agreement.

 

8.2                       Notices.  All notices, requests and demands to or upon
the Administrative Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the
manner provided for in subsection 11.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that
any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed
to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1.

 

8.3                       No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. 
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall by any act (except by a
written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or
otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have
acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default.  No failure to exercise, nor any
delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any
right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.  No
single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege.  A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a
bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such Lender would
otherwise have on any future occasion.  The rights and remedies herein provided
are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of
any other rights or remedies provided by law.

 

24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

8.4                       Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.  (a)  Each
Guarantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent
for all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor
under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving
any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such
Guarantor is a party, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements
of counsel to each Lender and of counsel to the Administrative Agent.

 

(B)                                 EACH GUARANTOR AGREES TO PAY, AND TO SAVE
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE SECURED PARTIES HARMLESS FROM, ANY AND ALL
