Exhibit 10.1

Execution Version

OMNIBUS AMENDMENT

OMNIBUS AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”) dated as of May 19, 2014 among CORPORATE
CAPITAL TRUST, INC. (the “Borrower”), the Lenders party hereto and JPMORGAN
CHASE BANK, N.A., in its capacity as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative
Agent”) under the Credit Agreement referred to below and as Collateral Agent
(the “Collateral Agent”) under the Security Agreement referred to below.

The Borrower is party to the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as
of September 4, 2013, among the Borrower, the Lenders party thereto, the
Administrative Agent, and ING Capital LLC, as Syndication Agent (as amended,
amended and restated, modified or otherwise supplemented prior to the date
hereof, the “Credit Agreement”).

The Borrower is party to that certain Guarantee and Security Agreement dated as
of September 4, 2013 among the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the
Administrative Agent, each holder (or a representative or trustee therefor) from
time to time of any Other Secured Indebtedness, and the Collateral Agent (as
amended, amended and restated, modified or otherwise supplemented prior to the
date hereof, the “Security Agreement”).

The Borrower and the Required Lenders wish now to amend each of the Credit
Agreement and Security Agreement in certain respects, and accordingly, the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Definitions. Except as otherwise defined in this Amendment, terms
defined in the Credit Agreement as amended hereby and together with all amended
exhibits and updated schedules and appendices thereto are used herein as defined
therein. On and after the date on which all conditions precedent specified in
Section 4 below shall have been satisfied or waived (the “Amendment Effective
Date”), each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,”
“hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement shall mean
and be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment.

Section 2. Amendments. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the Required
Lenders of the conditions precedent specified in Section 4 below, and effective
as of the Amendment Effective Date:

(a) The following definition shall be added to the Credit Agreement:

“Modification Offer’ means, to the extent required by the definition of Other
Secured Indebtedness or Unsecured Longer-Term Indebtedness, an obligation that
will be satisfied if at least 10 Business Days (or, such shorter period if 10
Business Days is not practicable) prior to the incurrence of such Other Secured
Indebtedness or Unsecured Longer-Term Indebtedness, the Borrower shall have
provided notice to the Administrative Agent of the terms thereof that do not
satisfy the requirements for such type of Indebtedness set forth in the
respective definitions herein, which notice shall contain reasonable detail of
the terms thereof and an unconditional offer by the Borrower to amend this
Agreement to the extent necessary such that the financial covenants and events
of default, as applicable, in this Agreement shall be as restrictive as such
provisions in such Other Secured Indebtedness or Unsecured Longer-Term
Indebtedness, as applicable. If any such Modification Offer is accepted by the
Required Lenders within 10 Business Days of receipt of such offer, this
Agreement shall be deemed automatically amended (and, upon the request of the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall promptly enter
into a written amendment evidencing such amendment), mutatis mutandis, solely to
reflect all or some of such more restrictive financial covenants or events of
default as elected by the Required Lenders.

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

(b) The definition of Other Secured Indebtedness in the Credit Agreement shall
be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“Other Secured Indebtedness” means, as at any date, Indebtedness (other than
Indebtedness hereunder) of an Obligor (which may be Guaranteed by one or more
other Obligors) that (a) is secured pursuant to the Security Documents as
described in clause (d) of this definition, (b) has no amortization prior to
(other than for amortization in an amount not greater than 1% of the aggregate
initial principal amount of such Indebtedness per year), and a final maturity
date not earlier than, six months after the Maturity Date (it being understood
that neither the conversion features into Permitted Equity Interests under
convertible notes (as well as the triggering of such conversion and/or
settlement thereof solely with Permitted Equity Interests, except in the case of
interest or expenses (which may be payable in cash)), nor any mandatory
prepayment provisions as a result of any borrowing base or collateral base
deficiency, in any case shall constitute “amortization” for the purposes of this
definition, provided that if any mandatory prepayment is required under such
Other Secured Indebtedness that is not required pursuant to Section 2.09(c)
hereof, the Borrower shall offer to repay Loans (and provide cover for Letters
of Credit to the extent required under Section 2.04(k)) in an amount at least
equal to the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure’s ratable share (such ratable
share being determined based on the outstanding principal amount of the
Revolving Credit Exposures as compared to the Other Secured Indebtedness being
paid) of the aggregate prepayment and reduction of such Other Secured
Indebtedness), (c) is incurred pursuant to documentation that, taken as a whole,
is not materially more restrictive than market terms for substantially similar
debt of other similarly situated borrowers as determined by the chief financial
officer of the Borrower in his or her reasonable judgment or, if such
transaction is not one in which there are market terms for substantially similar
debt of other similarly situated borrowers, on terms that are negotiated in good
faith on an arm’s length basis (except, in each case, other than financial
covenants and events of default (other than events of default customary in
indentures or similar instruments that have no analogous provisions in this
Agreement or credit agreements generally), which shall be no more restrictive
upon the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, while any Commitments or Loans are
outstanding, than those set forth in this Agreement; provided that, the Borrower
may incur any Other Secured Indebtedness that otherwise would not meet the
requirements set forth in this parenthetical of this clause (c) if it has duly
made a Modification Offer (whether or not it is accepted by the Required
Lenders) (it being understood that put rights or repurchase or redemption
obligations arising out of circumstances that would constitute a “fundamental
change” (as such term is customarily defined in convertible note offerings) or
an Event of Default under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be more
restrictive for purposes of this definition)), and (d) is not secured by any
assets of any Obligor other than pursuant to the Security Documents and the
holders of which, or the agent, trustee or representative of such holders have
agreed to either (x) be bound by the provisions of the Security Documents by
executing the joinder attached as Exhibit C to the Guarantee and Security
Agreement or (y) be bound by the provisions of the Security Documents in a
manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent. For
the avoidance of doubt, Other Secured Indebtedness shall also include any
refinancing, refunding, renewal or extension of any Other Secured Indebtedness
so long as such refinanced, refunded, renewed or extended Indebtedness continues
to satisfy the requirements of this definition.”

(c) The definition of Unsecured Longer-Term Indebtedness in the Credit Agreement
shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

- 2 -

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

“‘Unsecured Longer-Term Indebtedness’ means any Indebtedness of an Obligor
(which may be Guaranteed by one or more other Obligors) that:

(a) has no amortization prior to, and a final maturity date not earlier than,
six months after the Maturity Date (it being understood that (i) the conversion
features into Permitted Equity Interests under convertible notes (as well as the
triggering of such conversion and/or settlement thereof solely with Permitted
Equity Interests, except in the case of interest or expenses (which may be
payable in cash)) shall not constitute “amortization” for the purposes of this
definition and (ii) any mandatory amortization that is contingent upon the
happening of an event that is not certain to occur (including, without
limitation, a change of control or bankruptcy) shall not in and of itself be
deemed to disqualify such Indebtedness under this clause (a), provided, with
respect to this clause (ii), the Borrower acknowledges that any payment prior to
the Termination Date in respect of any such obligation or right shall only be
made to the extent permitted by Section 6.12 and immediately upon such
contingent event occurring the amount of such mandatory amortization shall be
included in the Covered Debt Amount);

(b) is incurred pursuant to terms that are substantially comparable to market
terms for substantially similar debt of other similarly situated borrowers as
reasonably determined in good faith by the Borrower, or, if such transaction is
not one in which there are market terms for substantially similar debt of other
similarly situated borrowers, on terms that are negotiated in good faith on an
arm’s length basis (except, in each case, other than financial covenants and
events of default (other than events of default customary in indentures or
similar instruments that have no analogous provisions in this Agreement or
credit agreements generally), which shall be no more restrictive upon the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries, while any Commitments or Loans are outstanding,
than those set forth in this Agreement; provided that, the Borrower may incur
any Unsecured Longer-Term Indebtedness that otherwise would not meet the
requirements set forth in this parenthetical of this clause (b) if it has duly
made a Modification Offer (whether or not it is accepted by the Required
Lenders) (it being understood that put rights or repurchase or redemption
obligations arising out of circumstances that would constitute a “fundamental
change” (as such term is customarily defined in convertible note offerings) or
be Events of Default under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be more
restrictive for purposes of this definition)); and

(c) is not secured by any assets of any Person.

For the avoidance of doubt, Unsecured Longer-Term Indebtedness shall also
include any refinancing, refunding, renewal or extension of any Unsecured
Longer-Term Indebtedness so long as such refinanced, refunded, renewed or
extended Indebtedness continues to satisfy the requirements of this definition.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term Unsecured Longer-Term Indebtedness shall
include any Disqualified Equity Interests so long as the Borrower is not
permitted or required to purchase, redeem, retire, acquire, cancel or terminate
any such Equity Interest (other than (x) as a result of a change of control or
asset sale or (y) in connection with any purchase, redemption, retirement,
acquisition, cancellation or termination with, or in exchange for, Equity
Interest) prior to the date that is 180 days after the Maturity Date.”

(d) Section 2.07(e)(i)(B) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing
the amount “$600,000,000” set forth therein with the following amount:
“$900,000,000”.

 

- 3 -

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

(e) Section 2.09(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the
following parenthetical immediately following the words “the Revolving Credit
Exposure’s ratable share” set forth therein: “(such ratable share being
determined based on the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit
Exposures as compared to the Other Secured Indebtedness)”.

(f) Section 5.12(b)(iii) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated
in its entirety as follows:

“(iii) Scheduled Testing of Values.

(A) Each April 30, July 31, October 31 and February 28 of each calendar year,
commencing on October 31, 2013 (or such other dates as are agreed to by the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent, but in no event less frequently than once
per calendar quarter, each a “Valuation Testing Date”), the Administrative Agent
through an Independent Valuation Provider will test the values determined
pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) above of those Unquoted Investments included in
the Borrowing Base selected by the Administrative Agent; provided, that the
aggregate fair value of such Unquoted Investments tested on any Valuation
Testing Date will be equal to the Tested Amount (as defined below) (or as near
thereto as reasonably practical). For the avoidance of doubt, Unquoted
Investments that are part of the Collateral but not included in the Borrowing
Base shall not be subject to testing under this Section 5.12(b)(iii). The
Administrative Agent shall, to the extent permitted under the terms of its
engagement with the Independent Valuation Provider, promptly provide to the
Borrower and to the agent for any holder of Permitted Indebtedness as directed
by the Borrower copies of all reports prepared pursuant to this
Section 5.12(b)(iii) by the Independent Valuation Provider, it being understood
that such reports will be provided without representation or warranty and may
not be relied upon by an such Person.

(B) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Tested Amount” shall be equal to the
greater of: (i) an amount equal to (y) 125% of the Covered Debt Amount (as of
the applicable Valuation Testing Date) minus (z) the sum of the values of all
Cash and all Quoted Investments included in the Borrowing Base (as of the
applicable Valuation Testing Date) and (ii) 10% of the aggregate value of all
Unquoted Investments included in the Borrowing Base (as of the applicable
Valuation Testing Date); provided, however, in no event shall more than 25% (or,
if clause (ii) applies, 10%, or as near thereto as reasonably practicable) of
the aggregate value of the Unquoted Investments in the Borrowing Base be tested
by the Independent Valuation Provider in respect of any applicable Valuation
Testing Date.

(C) With respect to any Unquoted Investment, if the value of such Unquoted
Investment determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) is not more than the
lesser of (1) five (5) points more than the midpoint of the valuation range
(expressed as a percent of par) provided by the Independent Valuation Provider
(provided that the value of such Unquoted Investment is customarily quoted as a
percentage of par) and (2) 110% of the midpoint of the valuation range provided
by the Independent Valuation Provider, then the value for such Unquoted
Investment determined in accordance with Section 5.12(b)(ii) shall continue to
be used as the “Value” for purposes of this Agreement. If the value of any
Unquoted Investment determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii) is more than the
lesser of the values set forth in clause (C)(1) and (2) (to the extent
applicable), then for such Portfolio Investment, the “Value” for purposes of
this Agreement shall become the lesser of (x) the highest value of the valuation
range provided by the Independent Valuation

 

- 4 -

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

Provider, (y) five (5) points more than the midpoint of the valuation range
(expressed as a percent of par) provided by the Independent Valuation Provider
(provided that the value of such Unquoted Investment is customarily quoted as a
percentage of par) and (z) 110% of the midpoint of the valuation range provided
by the Independent Valuation Provider. For the avoidance of doubt, any values
determined by the Independent Valuation Provider pursuant to this
Section 5.12(b)(iii) or Section 5.12(b)(iv) shall be used solely for purposes of
determining the “Value” of a Portfolio Investment under this Agreement and shall
not be deemed to be the fair value of such asset as required under ASC 820, for
purposes of the Borrower’s financial statements and the Investment Company Act.”

(g) Section 6.03 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) deleting the
word “and” immediately following clause (f) thereof, (ii) replacing the period
immediately following clause (g) thereof with the following text “; and” and
(iii) adding the following new clause (h):

“(h) an Obligor may transfer assets that such Obligor would otherwise be
permitted to own to an Excluded Asset for the sole purpose of facilitating the
transfer of assets from one Excluded Asset (or a Subsidiary that was an Excluded
Asset immediately prior to such disposition) to another Excluded Asset, directly
or indirectly through such Obligor (such assets, the “Transferred Assets”),
provided that (i) no Default exists or is continuing at such time or would
result from any such transfer to or by such Obligor, (ii) the Covered Debt
Amount shall not exceed the Borrowing Base at such time, (iii) the Transferred
Assets are transferred to such Obligor by the transferor Excluded Asset on the
same Business Day that such assets are transferred by such Obligor to the
transferee Excluded Asset, and (iv) following such transfer such Obligor has no
liability, actual or contingent, with respect to the Transferred Assets other
than Standard Securitization Undertakings.”

(h) Section 6.12(a) of the Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its
entirety as follows:

“(a) regularly scheduled payments, prepayments or redemptions of principal and
interest in respect thereof required pursuant to the instruments evidencing such
Indebtedness and the payment when due of the types of fees and expenses that are
customarily paid in connection with such Indebtedness (it being understood that:
(w) the conversion features into Permitted Equity Interests under convertible
notes; (x) the triggering of such conversion and/or settlement thereof solely
with Permitted Equity Interests; and (y) any cash payment on account of interest
or expenses on such convertible notes made by the Borrower in respect of such
triggering and/or settlement thereof, shall be permitted under this clause
(a));”

(i) Exhibit E to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the word
“Adjusted” before “Borrowing Base” in line (2) of the Borrowing Base
Calculations for each of “Section 6.03(d) Fundamental Changes and Dispositions
of Assets” and “Section 6.04(d) Investments”.

(j) The Guarantee and Security Agreement is hereby amended to delete the bold,
stricken text (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example:
stricken text) and to add the bold, double-underlined text (indicated textually
in the same manner as the following example: double-underlined text) as set
forth in the pages of the Guarantee and Security Agreement attached as Exhibit A
hereto.

Section 3. Representations and Warranties. The Borrower represents and warrants
to each Required Lender and the Administrative Agent that on the Amendment
Effective Date (a) the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth
in Article III of the Credit Agreement and in the other Loan Documents are true

representations and warranties in Sections 3.01 (first sentence with respect to
the Obligors), 3.02, 3.04, 3.11 and 3.15 of the Credit Agreement, and in
Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 2.04 through 2.08 of the Security Agreement, in each
such case, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all
respects) on and as of the Amendment Effective Date, or as to any such
representation or warranty that refers to a specific date, as of such specific
date and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on
the Amendment Effective Date.

Section 4. Conditions Precedent. The amendments to the Credit Agreement and the
Security Agreement set forth in Section 2 of this Amendment shall not become

conditions below are satisfied (or, with the prior written consent of the
Required Lenders, waived), each of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent:

Amendment executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral

Vice President or a Financial Officer of the Borrower, confirming that (i) the

all material respects (unless the relevant representation and warranty already
contains a materiality qualifier or, in the case of the representations and
warranties in Sections 3.01 (first sentence with respect to the Obligors), 3.02,
3.04, 3.11 and 3.15 of the Credit Agreement, and in Sections 2.01, 2.02 and 2.04
through 2.08 of the Security Agreement, in each such case, such representation
and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the

of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Amendment Effective

of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The execution, delivery
and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided

Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of
any provision of any of the Loan Documents. This Amendment may be executed in
any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and
the same amendatory instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this
Amendment by signing any such counterpart. Delivery of an executed counterpart
of a signature page to this Amendment by electronic transmission shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Amendment.
Sections 9.09 and 9.10 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to this Amendment,
mutatis mutandis, as if set out in full herein and as if references therein to

SECTION 3. GUARANTEE.

3.01 The Guarantee. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally
guarantee to each of the Secured Parties and their respective successors and
assigns the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Subsidiary
Guarantors hereby further jointly and severally agree that if the Borrower shall
fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated or extended maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Subsidiary
Guarantors will jointly and severally pay the same without any demand or notice
whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal
of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full
when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in
accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

3.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors
under Section 3.01 are irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, joint and
several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or
enforceability of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, the
other Debt Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or
therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or
security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever
that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
surety or guarantor (other than the satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed
Obligations), it being the intent of this Section 3 that the obligations of the
Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any
and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is
agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter
or impair the liability of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder, which shall
remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Subsidiary
Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the
Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance
shall be waived;

(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement, the
other Debt Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or
therein shall be done or omitted;

(c) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or
any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in
any respect, or any right under this Agreement, the other Debt Documents or any
other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be waived or
any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security
therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt
with; or

(d) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, any Secured Party
as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected.

 

Guarantee and Security Agreement

- 14 -

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

The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand
of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any
Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower
under this Agreement, the other Debt Documents or any other agreement or
instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any
other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

3.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this
Section 3 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any
reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of
the Guaranteed Obligations and such holder of a Guaranteed Obligation has
returned to the Borrower or its designee any such rescinded payment, whether as
a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and
the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that they will reimburse
the Secured Parties on demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented fees and other charges
of counsel) incurred by the Secured Parties in connection with such rescission
or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending
against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference,
fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar law.

3.04 Subrogation. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree
that until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations
(other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations), and the expiration and
termination of all letters of credit or commitments to extend credit under all
Debt Documents, they shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of
any performance by them of their guarantee in Section 3.01, whether by
subrogation or otherwise, against the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of
the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed
Obligations.

3.05 Remedies. The Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as
between the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Secured Parties, a Guaranteed
Obligation may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in the
respective Debt Document therefor including, in the case of the Credit
Agreement, Article VII thereof (and shall be deemed to have become automatically
due and payable in the circumstances provided therein including, in the case of
the Credit Agreement, such Article VII) for purposes of Section 3.01
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as
against the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantors and that, in the event of such
declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due
and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower)
shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for purposes
of Section 3.01.

3.06 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Section 3 is a continuing
guarantee of payment (and not of collection), and shall apply to all Guaranteed
Obligations whenever arising.

3.07 Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby
acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 3 constitutes an instrument for
the

 

Guarantee and Security Agreement

- 15 -

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

payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Secured Party, at its sole
option, in the event of a dispute by such Subsidiary Guarantor in the payment of
any moneys due hereunder, shall (to the extent permitted under applicable law)
have the right to bring motion action under New York CPLR Section 3213.

3.08 Rights of Contribution. The Obligors hereby agree, as between themselves,
that if any Subsidiary Guarantor shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as
defined below) by reason of the payment by such Subsidiary Guarantor of any
Guaranteed Obligations, then each other Subsidiary Guarantor shall, on demand of
such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to the next sentence), pay to such
Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Pro Rata
Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to
the properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the
Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Guaranteed Obligations. The
payment obligation of a Subsidiary Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor
under this Section 3.08 shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to
the prior payment in full of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under
the other provisions of this Section 3 and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall
not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and
satisfaction in full of all of such obligations.

For purposes of this Section 3.08, (i) “Excess Funding Guarantor” means, in
respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, a Subsidiary Guarantor that has paid an
amount in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations,
(ii) “Excess Payment” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, the
amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Share of
such Guaranteed Obligations and (iii) “Pro Rata Share” means, for any Subsidiary
Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the
aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of such Subsidiary Guarantor
(excluding any shares of stock or other equity interest of any other Subsidiary
Guarantor) exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such
Subsidiary Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and
unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Subsidiary
Guarantor hereunder and any obligations of any other Subsidiary Guarantor that
have been Guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor) to (y) the amount by which
the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of the Borrower and all of
the Subsidiary Guarantors exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities
(including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but
excluding the obligations of the Obligors hereunder) of the Borrower and all of
the Subsidiary Guarantors, determined (A) with respect to any Subsidiary
Guarantor that is a party hereto on the date hereof, as of the date hereof, and
(B) with respect to any other Subsidiary Guarantor, as of the date such
Subsidiary Guarantor becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

3.09 General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding
involving any state corporate or other law, or any Federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors
generally, if the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 3.01
would otherwise, taking into account the provisions of Section 3.08, be held or
determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims
of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under
Section 3.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary,
the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such
Subsidiary Guarantor, any Secured Party or any other Person, be automatically
limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and

 

Guarantee and Security Agreement

- 16 -

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

enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined
in such action or proceeding.

3.10 Indemnity by Borrower. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and
subrogation as the Subsidiary Guarantors may have under applicable law (but
subject to Section 3.04), the Borrower agrees that (a) in the event a payment
shall be made by any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement, the Borrower
shall indemnify such Subsidiary Guarantor for the full amount of such payment
and such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to
whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (b) in
the event any assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to this
Agreement or any other Security Document to satisfy in whole or in part the
Guaranteed Obligations, the Borrower shall indemnify such Subsidiary Guarantor
in an amount equal to the fair market value of the assets so sold.

3.11 Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally
absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or
other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Subsidiary
Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Guarantee in respect of
Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall
only be liable under this Section 3.11 for the maximum amount of such liability
that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this
Section 3.11, or otherwise under this Guarantee, voidable under applicable law
relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any
greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this
Section shall remain in full force and effect until Swap Obligations have been
paid in full. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 3.11
constitute, and this Section 3.11 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell,
support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Subsidiary Guarantor
for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

SECTION 4. COLLATERAL. As collateral security for the payment in full when due
(whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of its Secured
Obligations, each Obligor hereby pledges and grants to the Collateral Agent for
the benefit of the Secured Parties as hereinafter provided a security interest
in all of such Obligor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the
following property, in each case whether tangible or intangible, wherever
located, and whether now owned by such Obligor or hereafter acquired and whether
now existing or hereafter coming into existence (all of the property described
in this Section 4 being collectively referred to herein as “Collateral”):

(a) to the extent constituting PortfolioSpecified Investments or Proceeds
thereof, all Accounts, all Chattel Paper, all Deposit Accounts, all Documents,
all General Intangibles, all Instruments (including all Promissory Notes), all
Investment Property not covered by the foregoing (including all Securities, all
Securities Accounts and all Security Entitlements with respect thereto and
Financial Assets carried therein, and all Commodity Accounts and Commodity
Contracts), and all Letter-of-Credit Rights where the underlying letter of
credit supports a PortfolioSpecified Investment;

(b) Equity Interests in any Person that is an Excluded Asset, but solely to the
extent that the organization documents of such Person or any agreement to which
such Person is a party do not prohibit or restrict the pledge of such Equity
Interests;

(bc) all Proceeds of any of the Collateral and, to the extent related to any
Collateral, all books, correspondence, credit files, records, invoices and other
papers (including all tapes, cards, computer runs and other papers and documents
in the possession or under the control of such Obligor or any computer bureau or
service company from time to time acting for such Obligor); and

(cd) each Cash Account and each Securities Account under and as defined in the
Custodian Agreement,

IT BEING UNDERSTOOD, HOWEVER, that (A) in no event shall the security interest
granted under this Section 4 attach to (and there shall be excluded from the
definition of “Collateral”) (i) any contract, property rights, obligation,
instrument or agreement to which an Obligor is a party (or to any of its rights
or interests thereunder) if the grant of such security interest would constitute
or result in either (ia) the abandonment, invalidation or unenforceability of
any right, title or interest of such Obligor therein or (iib) in a breach or
termination pursuant to the terms of, or a default under, any such contract,
property rights, obligation, instrument or agreement (other than to the extent
that any such term would be rendered ineffective by Section 9-406, 9-407, 9-408
or 9-409 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the relevant
jurisdiction), (ii) any Excluded Account or Excluded Asset not included in the
Collateral pursuant to clause (b) above, (iii) any assets with respect to which
applicable Law prohibits the creation or perfection of such security interests
therein (other than to the extent that any such prohibition is rendered
ineffective by Section 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the Uniform Commercial
Code as in effect in the relevant jurisdiction), or (viiv) any property that,
were it “Collateral” hereunder, would be subject to release pursuant to
Section 10.03 (including Excluded Assets released pursuant to Section 10.03(g)),
(v) with respect to any Financing Agent (and the Secured Parties represented by
it) or any Designated Indebtedness Holder not represented by a Financing Agent
and their respective Secured Obligations, any margin stock (within the meaning
of Regulations T, U and X) or any proceeds thereof, unless such Financing Agent
or Designated Indebtedness Holder shall at the time it becomes a Financing Agent
or Designated Indebtedness Holder for purposes of this Agreement notify the
Collateral Agent in writing that it (for itself and the Secured Parties
represented by it in the case of a Financing Agent) elects to have its
respective Secured Obligations secured by such margin stock (each such person,
an “Electing Secured Party”), and following receipt of any such notice, the
Collateral Agent shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and each
Designated Indebtedness Holder or their respective Financing Agent of such
receipt (provided such notice shall be deemed to have been received from the
Administrative Agent and notified to the relevant parties by the Collateral
Agent), (vi) any intent-to-use application for United States trademark

the Collateral

Agent, exclude from the grant of a security interest provided above in this
Section 4, any Special Equity Interests designated by the Borrower in reasonable
detail to the Collateral Agent in such notice (it being understood that the
Borrower may at any later time rescind any such designation by similar notice to
the Collateral Agent), and (C) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
in no case shall an Obligor be required to grant a security interest in any
Equity Interest of a Controlled Foreign Corporation or any assets that are
directly-held or indirectly-held by a Controlled Foreign Corporation, other than
(x) any non-voting Equity Interests in a Controlled Foreign Corporation that are
directly held by an Obligor, and (y) 65% of the voting Equity Interests in a
Controlled Foreign Corporation that are directly held by an Obligor.

SECTION 5. CERTAIN AGREEMENTS AMONG SECURED PARTIES.

5.01 Priorities; Additional Collateral.

(a) Pari Passu Status of Obligations. Each Secured Party by acceptance of the
benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents agrees that their
respective interests in the Security Documents and the Collateral shall rank
pari passu and that the Secured Obligations shall be equally and ratably secured
by the Security Documents, and all payments received through the exercise of
remedies in respect of the Debt Documents shall be shared ratably, in each case,
subject to the terms hereof and the priority of payment established in
Section 8.06.

(b) Sharing of Guaranties and Liens. Each Secured Party by acceptance of the
benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents agrees that (i) such
Secured Party will not accept from any Subsidiary of the Borrower any guarantee
of any of the Guaranteed Obligations unless such guarantor simultaneously
guarantees the payment of all of the Guaranteed Obligations owed to all Secured
Parties and (ii) such Secured Party will not hold, take, accept or obtain any
Lien upon any assets of any Obligor or any Subsidiary of the Borrower to secure
the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations except and to the extent
that such Lien is in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or
another Security Document to which the Collateral Agent is a party for the
benefit of all of the Secured Parties as provided herein.

Anything in this Section, or any other provision of this Agreement, to the
contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement shall be inapplicable to any
debtor-in-possession financing that may be provided by any Secured Party to the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in any Federal or state bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding, and no consent or approval of any other Secured Party
shall be required as a condition to the provision by any Secured Party of any
such financing, and no other Secured Party shall be entitled to share in any
Lien upon any Collateral granted to any Secured Party to secure repayment of
such debtor-in-possession financing, provided that no Secured Party shall be
barred from objecting to any such financing on the basis of adequate protection
or any other grounds.

5.02 Turnover of Collateral. If a Secured Party acquires custody, control or
possession of any Collateral or the proceeds therefrom, other than pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement, such Secured Party shall promptly (but in any event
within five

 

Guarantee and Security Agreement

- 19 -

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

Business Days) cause such Collateral or proceeds to be Delivered in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement. Until such time as such Secured Party
shall have complied with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence,
such Secured Party shall be deemed to hold such Collateral and proceeds in trust
for the benefit of the Collateral Agent.

5.03 Cooperation of Secured Parties. Each Secured Party will cooperate with the
Collateral Agent and with each other Secured Party in the enforcement of the
Liens upon the Collateral and otherwise in order to accomplish the purposes of
this Agreement and the Security Documents.

5.04 Limitation upon Certain Independent Actions by Secured Parties. No Secured
Party shall have any right to institute any action or proceeding to enforce any
term or provision of the Security Documents or to enforce any of its rights in
respect of the Collateral or to exercise any other remedy pursuant to the
Security Documents or at law or in equity, for the purpose of realizing on the
Collateral, or by reason of jeopardy of any Collateral, or for the execution of
any trust or power hereunder (collectively, the “Specified Actions”), unless the
Required Secured Parties have delivered written instructions to the Collateral
Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have failed to act in accordance with such
instructions within 30 days thereafter. In such case but not otherwise, the
Required Secured Parties may appoint one Person to act on behalf of the Secured
Parties solely to take any of the Specified Actions (the “Appointed Party”),
and, upon the acceptance of its appointment as Appointed Party, the Appointed
Party shall be entitled to commence proceedings in any court of competent
jurisdiction or to take any other Specified Actions as the Collateral Agent
might have taken pursuant to this Agreement or the Security Documents (in
accordance with the directions of the Required Secured Parties). The Obligors
acknowledge and agree that should the Appointed Party act in accordance with
this provision, such Appointed Party will have all the rights, remedies,
benefits and powers as are granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto or
pursuant to any Security Documents.

5.05 No Challenges. In no event shall any Secured Party take any action to
challenge, contest or dispute the validity, extent, enforceability, or priority
of the Collateral Agent’s Liens hereunder or under any other Security Document
with respect to any of the Collateral, or that would have the effect of
invalidating any such Lien or support any Person who takes any such action. Each
of the Secured Parties agrees that it will not take any action to challenge,
contest or dispute the validity, enforceability or secured status of any other
Secured Party’s claims against any Obligor (other than any such claim resulting
from a breach of this Agreement or any other Security Document by a Secured
Party, or any challenge, contest or dispute alleging arithmetical error in the
determination of a claim), or that would have the effect of invalidating any
such claim, or support any Person who takes any such action.

5.06 Rights of Secured Parties as to Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, the right of each Secured Party to receive
payment of the Secured Obligations held by such Secured Party when due (whether
at the stated maturity thereof, by acceleration or otherwise) as expressed in
any instrument evidencing or agreement governing such Secured Obligations, or to
institute suit for the enforcement of such payment on or after such due date,
and the obligation of the Obligors to pay their respective Secured Obligations
when due, shall not be impaired or affected without the

 

Guarantee and Security Agreement

- 20 -

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

consent of such Secured Party; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing,
each Secured Party agrees that it will not attempt to exercise remedies with
respect to any Collateral except as provided in this Agreement.

5.07 Certain Undertakings with respect to Excluded Assets.

(a) Limitation on Actions against Excluded Assets. Each Secured Party agrees
that it shall not and shall not be entitled, whether before or after the
occurrence of any Event of Default, to (i) institute against, or join any other
Person in instituting against, any Excluded Asset that is a Subsidiary any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding
under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof,
(ii) transfer or register the capital stock of any Excluded Asset that is a
Subsidiary or any other instrument evidencing any equity interests of the
Borrower in any such Excluded Asset into the name of the Collateral Agent or any
Secured Party or any designee or nominee thereof, (iii) foreclose such security
interest in any such equity interests, regardless of the bankruptcy or
insolvency of the Borrower or any Excluded Asset, (iv) exercise any voting
rights granted or appurtenant to such equity interests or any other instruments
evidencing any such equity interests or (v) enforce any right that the holder of
any such equity interests might otherwise have to liquidate, consolidate,
combine, collapse or disregard the entity status of such Excluded Asset.

(b) Waiver of Certain Rights with respect to Excluded Assets. Each Secured Party
hereby waives and releases any right to require (i) that any Excluded Asset that
is a Subsidiary be in any manner merged, combined, collapsed or consolidated
with or into the Borrower or any other Excluded Asset, including by way of

Excluded Asset that is a Subsidiary as a separate entity be in any respect

the agent acting on behalf of the holders of indebtedness of any Excluded Asset
that is a Subsidiary is an express third party beneficiary with respect to this
Section 5.07 and such agent shall have the right to enforce compliance by the
Secured Parties with this Section.

(d) Execution of Releases by Collateral Agent. Upon the sale or other transfer
or purported transfer by an Obligor of assets to an Excluded Asset in a
transaction not inconsistent with the requirements ofprohibited by the Credit
Agreement or any Designated Indebtedness Document, the Collateral Agent is
hereby authorized to execute and deliver any such releases and other documents
as the Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the release of such assets
from the Lien of this Agreement.

party hereto and the Collateral Agent:

(a) certifying that (i) such Other Secured Indebtedness satisfies the conditions
of this Section, (ii) that after giving effect to such designation and the

Designated Indebtedness) shall have executed and delivered to the Collateral
Agent either (x) a joinder agreement to this Agreement, substantially in the
form of Exhibit C, or (y) such other document or agreement, in a form reasonably

which such Financing Agent (or, if there is no Financing Agent, such holder)
shall have become a party hereto and assumed the obligations of a Financing
Agent (or holder) hereunder, as applicable.

6.02 Recordkeeping. The Collateral Agent will maintain books and records
necessary to enable it to determine at any time all transactions under this

security interest pursuant to Section 4, each Obligor hereby agrees with the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as follows:

7.01 Delivery and Other Perfection. Within 60 days after the acquisition by an
Obligor of any PortfolioSpecified Investment constituting part of the Collateral
as to which physical possession by the Collateral Agent or the Custodian is
required in order for such PortfolioSpecified Investment to have been
“Delivered”, such Obligor shall take such actions as shall be necessary to
effect Delivery of such PortfolioSpecified Investment. As to all other
PortfolioSpecified Investments constituting part of the Collateral, such Obligor
shall cause the same to be Delivered within (x) five Business Days of the
acquisition thereof where such Delivery does not require the consent of a third
party and (y) sixty days of the acquisition thereof otherwise; provided that
such five Business Day period or sixty day period, as applicable, may be
extended by the Collateral Agent for an additional period of thirty days at the
discretion of the Collateral Agent. In addition, and without limiting the
generality of the foregoing (but subject to the limitations therein), each
Obligor shall promptly from time to time give, execute, deliver, file, record,
authorize or obtain all such financing statements, continuation statements,
notices, instruments, documents, Control Agreements (subject to Section 7.04
below) or any other agreements or consents or other papers as may be necessary
or desirable in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Agent to create,
preserve, perfect, maintain the perfection of or validate the security interest
granted pursuant hereto or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and
enforce its rights hereunder with respect to such security interest, and without
limiting the foregoing, shall:

(a) keep full and accurate books and records relating to the Collateral in all
material respects, and stamp or otherwise mark such books and records in such a
manner as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require in order to reflect the
security interests granted by this Agreement; and

(b) subject to Section 9.13 (Confidentiality) of the Credit Agreement and
analogous clauses in other Debt Documents, permit representatives of the
Collateral Agent, (i) upon reasonable prior notice, at such reasonable times
during business hours and as often as reasonably requested to inspect and make
extracts from its books and records pertaining to the Collateral, and (ii) at
any time and from time to time permit representatives of the Collateral Agent to
be present at such Obligor’s place of business to receive copies of
communications and remittances relating to the Collateral, and forward copies of

Collateral, all in such manner as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require,
provided that, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii),
(x) each such Obligor shall be entitled to have its representatives and advisors
present during any inspection of its books and records at such Obligor’s place
of business and (y) only to the extent such inspection or requests for such
information are reasonable and such

information can be provided or discussed without violation of law, rule,
regulation or contract.

7.02 Other Financing Statements or Control. Except as otherwise permitted under
Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement and the applicable provisions of each other
Debt Document, the Obligors shall not (a) file or suffer to be on file, or
authorize or permit to be filed or to be on file, in any jurisdiction, any
financing statement or like instrument with respect to any of the Collateral in
which the Collateral Agent is not named as the sole Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, or (b) cause or permit any Person other than the
Collateral Agent to have Control of any Deposit Account, Electronic Chattel
Paper, Investment Property or Letter-of-Credit Rights constituting part of the
Collateral.

7.03 Additional Subsidiary Guarantors. As contemplated by Section 5.08 of the
Credit Agreement and any corresponding provisions of a Designated Indebtedness
Document, any new Domestic Subsidiary of the Borrower formed or acquired by the
Borrower after the date hereof (other than Excluded Assets), are required to
become a “Subsidiary Guarantor” under this Agreement, by executing and
delivering to the Collateral Agent a Guarantee Assumption Agreement in the form
of Exhibit B hereto. Accordingly, upon the execution and delivery of any such
Guarantee Assumption Agreement by any such Subsidiary, such new Subsidiary
(i.e., any such Domestic Subsidiary other than a Subsidiary that is an Excluded
Asset) shall automatically and immediately, and without any further action on
the part of any Person, become a “Subsidiary Guarantor” and an “Obligor” for all
purposes of this Agreement and, as applicable, each other Debt Document, and
Annexes 1 through 4, inclusive, hereto shall be deemed to be supplemented in the
manner specified in such Guarantee Assumption Agreement. In addition, upon
execution and delivery of any such Guarantee Assumption Agreement, the new
Subsidiary Guarantor makes the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 2 as of the date of such Guarantee Assumption Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall a Controlled Foreign
Corporation be required to be a Subsidiary Guarantor.

7.04 Control Agreements. Within forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date,
the applicable Obligors shall deliver to Collateral Agent one or more Control
Agreements in respect of each Deposit Account and Securities Account (other than
(A) any such accounts that are maintained by the Borrower in its capacity as
“servicer” for an Excluded Asset or any account maintained by an Obligor as an
agent for lenders in respect of a Specified Investment, (B) any such accounts
which hold solely money or financial assets of an Excluded Asset, (C) any
payroll account so long as such payroll account is coded as such,
(D) withholding tax and fiduciary accounts or any trust account maintained
solely on behalf of a Specified Investment, (E) any account in which the
aggregate value of deposits therein, together with all other such accounts under
this clause (E), does not at any time exceed $75,000, and (F) any account
established to receive tax distributions from any Specified Investment (provided
that all funds deposited in such account are promptly remitted to pay taxes of
such Obligor; provided, further, that to the extent such account described under
this clause (F) ceases to be excluded from the requirements of this Section 7.04
as a result of such account receiving a distribution from a Specified
Investment, the Borrower shall have 30 days from the date such account ceases to
be excluded from the requirements of this Section 7.04 to either transfer the
funds in such account to an account

subject to a Control Agreement or to obtain a Control Agreement with respect to
such account); provided that in the case of each of the foregoing clauses
(A) through (F), no other Person (other than the depository institution at which
such account is maintained) shall have “control” over such account and such
account shall not have been otherwise “Delivered” to any other Person)
maintained by such Obligors which are not, as of the date of this Agreement,
subject to the Custody Account Control Agreement or maintained with the
Collateral Agent, together with a favorable opinion of counsel with respect to
such Control Agreement; provided that the Obligors shall not be required to
deliver any Control Agreement for any Excluded Account or any Deposit Account or
Securities Account if the aggregate value of all such assets (that are not
either maintained with the Collateral Agent or subject to a Control Agreement)
would not be greater than $2,500,000 in the aggregate; provided further, for the
avoidance of doubt, any Cash or other financial assets that are not subject to a
Control Agreement shall not be included in the Borrowing Base. So long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, each
Obligor may transfer, use and distribute its assets (and the proceeds thereof)
that are in any Deposit Account or any Securities Account to the extent not
prohibited by this Agreement or the other LoanDebt Documents; provided, however,
that if (a) the transfer of such assets (which are included in the Borrowing
Base) is to a Deposit Account or Securities Account maintained with a Person
other than Collateral Agent and (b) such assets are maintained in such Deposit
Account or Securities Account by an Obligor, and (x) are not subject to a
Control Agreement in favor of Collateral Agent, (y) such Deposit Account or
Securities Account is not an Excluded Account, and (z) after giving effect to
the proposed transfer, the aggregate value of all such assets (that are not
either maintained with Collateral Agent or subject to a Control Agreement) would
be greater than $2,500,000 in the aggregate, the Obligors shall not transfer
such assets to such Deposit Account or Securities Account until such time as the
applicable bank or securities intermediary executes a Control Agreement in favor
of the Collateral Agent with respect to such Deposit Account or Securities
Account. The Obligors shall provide prior written notice to Collateral Agent in
the event that the aggregate value of all assets held in such Deposit Accounts
or Securities Accounts (other than Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts
maintained with Collateral Agent or which are subject to a Control Agreement in
favor of the Collateral Agent) exceeds or would exceed $2,500,000 in the
aggregate. No arrangement contemplated hereby or by any Control Agreement in
respect of any Securities Accounts or other Investment Property shall be
modified by any Obligor without the prior written consent of the Collateral
Agent. Subject to Section 8.08, the Collateral Agent may notify any bank or
securities intermediary to liquidate the applicable Deposit Account or
Securities Account or any related Investment Property constituting Collateral
maintained or held in such Securities Accounts and remit the proceeds thereof to
the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 8. ACCELERATION NOTICE; REMEDIES; DISTRIBUTION OF COLLATERAL.

8.01 Notice of Acceleration. Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of a written
notice from any Secured Party or the Borrower which (i) expressly refers to this
Agreement, (ii) describes an event or condition which has occurred and is
continuing and (iii) expressly states that such event or condition constitutes
an Acceleration as defined herein, the Collateral Agent shall promptly notify
each other party hereto of the receipt and contents thereof (any such notice is
referred to herein as a “Acceleration Notice”).

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

8.02 Preservation of Rights. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to take
steps necessary to preserve any rights against prior parties to any of the
Collateral.

8.03 Events of Default, Etc. During the period during which an Event of Default
or Trigger Event shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) each Obligor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, assemble the
Collateral owned by it at such place or places, reasonably convenient to both
the Collateral Agent and such Obligor, designated in the Collateral Agent’s
request;

(b) the Collateral Agent may make any reasonable compromise or settlement deemed
desirable with respect to any of the Collateral and may extend the time of
payment, arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise modify the terms of,
any of the Collateral;

(c) the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect
to the Collateral of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (whether
or not the Uniform Commercial Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where the
rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to
which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction
where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including the right, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to exercise all voting,
consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the
Collateral Agent were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and each Obligor
agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such
right);

(d) the Collateral Agent in its discretion may, in its name or in the name of
any Obligor or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or
property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any
of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so; and

(e) the Collateral Agent may, upon ten Business Days’ prior written notice to
the Obligors of the time and place (or, if such sale is to take place on the
NYSE or any other established exchange or market, prior to the time of such sale
or other disposition), with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof which
shall then be or shall thereafter come into the possession, custody or control
of the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties or any of their respective
agents, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Collateral,
at such place or places as the Collateral Agent deems best, and for cash or for
credit or for future delivery (without thereby assuming any credit risk), at
public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to
effect any such disposition or of the time or place thereof (except such notice
as is required above or by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and the
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or anyone else may be the purchaser,
assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any
public sale (or, to the extent permitted by law, at any private sale) and
thereafter, to the fullest extent permitted by law, hold the same absolutely,
free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity
of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of the Obligors, any such demand, notice
and

right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released, to the fullest
extent permitted by law.

The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or
private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement
at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time
or place to which the sale may be so adjourned.

The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section
shall be applied in accordance with Section 8.06.

The Obligors recognize that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, the
Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part
of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other
things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not
with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Obligors acknowledge that
any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the
Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such
restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that to the extent
any such private sale is conducted by the Collateral Agent in a commercially
reasonable manner, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in
public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the
period of time necessary to permit the Obligors, or the issuer thereof, to
register it for public sale.

8.04 Deficiency. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or
upon the Collateral pursuant to Section 8.03 are insufficient to cover the costs
and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Secured
Obligations, the Obligors shall remain liable for any deficiency.

8.05 Private Sale. The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall incur no
liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any
private sale pursuant to Section 8.03 conducted in a commercially reasonable
manner. Each Obligor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent or
any other Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which
the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price
which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate
amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the
first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree,
so long as such private sale was conducted in a commercially reasonable manner.

8.06 Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein expressly provided, the
proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the
Collateral of any Obligor pursuant hereto or any other Security Document, and
any other cash of any Obligor at the time held by the Collateral Agent under
this Agreement or any other Security Document, shall be applied by the
Collateral Agent during the period during which an Event of Default or a Trigger
Event shall have occurred and be continuing and pursuant to an exercise of
remedies under this Section 8, as follows:

 

Guarantee and Security Agreement

- 27 -

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

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

Second, to the payment of any fees and other amounts then owing by such Obligor
to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such;

Third, to the payment of any reasonable fees, costs and expenses then owing by
such Obligor to any administrative agent, trustee or similar representative of
the Secured Parties, under the applicable Debt Documents, in each case ratably;

Fourth, to the payment of the Secured Obligations of such Obligor then due and
payable, in each case to each Secured Party ratably in accordance with the
amount of Secured Obligations then due and payable to such Secured Party (it
being understood that, for the purposes hereof (i) the outstanding principal
amount of the loans and other obligations under the Credit Agreement and the
Designated Indebtedness Documents shall be deemed then due and payable whether
or not any Acceleration of such loans and other obligations has occurred,
(ii) to the extent any cover in respect of a letter of credit shall be due and
payable under a Debt Document that such cover shall be deemed to be a Secured
Obligation that is due and payable for purposes hereof and (iii) the outstanding
amount of Hedging Agreement Obligations under Hedging Agreements shall be deemed
then due and payable whether or not any termination thereof has occurred); and

Fifth, after application as provided in clauses “First”, “Second”, “Third” and
“Fourth” above, to the payment to the respective Obligor, or their respective
successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of
any surplus then remaining.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Financing Agent and each Designated
Indebtedness Holder, respectively, irrevocably waives, on its own behalf and on
behalf of the Secured Parties represented by it, their right to receive (and
shall not receive) any proceeds of any margin stock (within the meaning of
Regulations T, U and X) unless such person has become an Electing Secured Party,
and no proceeds of any margin stock shall be directly or indirectly (by virtue
of any such proceeds paid non-ratably to an Electing Secured Party and other
proceeds being paid ratably to all Secured Parties) distributed to any
non-Electing Secured Party. In making the allocations required by this Section,
the Collateral Agent may rely upon its records and information supplied to it
pursuant to Section 9.02, and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to
any of the other Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such
information, except to the extent of its gross negligence or willful misconduct.
The Collateral Agent may, in its sole discretion, at the time of any application
under this Section, withhold all or any portion of the proceeds otherwise to be
applied to the Secured Obligations as provided above and maintain the same in a
segregated cash collateral account in the name and under the exclusive Control
of the Collateral Agent, to the extent that it in good faith believes that the
information provided to it pursuant to Section 9.02 is either incomplete or
inaccurate and that application of the full amount of such proceeds to the

 

Guarantee and Security Agreement

- 28 -

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

Secured Obligations would be disadvantageous to any Secured Party. All
distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section shall be
final (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction), and the
Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by the
other Secured Parties of any amounts distributed to them.

8.07 Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this
Agreement to the Collateral Agent while no Event of Default or Trigger Event has
occurred and is continuing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default or Trigger Event the Collateral Agent is hereby appointed
the attorney-in-fact of each Obligor for the purpose of carrying out the
provisions of this Section 8 and taking any action and executing any instruments
which the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is
irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, so long as the Collateral Agent shall be entitled under this
Section 8 to make collections in respect of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent
shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made
payable to the order of any Obligor representing any dividend, payment or other
distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full
discharge for the same.

8.08 Exercise of Control. With respect to any Deposit Account or Securities
Account over which the Collateral Agent has Control, the Collateral Agent shall
not deliver any direction for the disposition of funds or other property,
entitlement order or notice of exclusive control unless an Event of Default or
Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 9. THE COLLATERAL AGENT.

9.01 Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Lender, the Administrative Agent,
each Financing Agent and, by acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and
the other Security Documents, each Designated Indebtedness Holder hereby
irrevocably appoints and authorizes JPMCB to act as its agent hereunder and
under each other Security Document with such powers as are specifically
delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with
such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, it is understood that such powers authorize the
Collateral Agent to enter into the agreements and other documents contemplated
by Section 5.08(c) of the Credit Agreement on behalf of itself and the other
Secured Parties hereunder. The Collateral Agent (which term as used in this
sentence and in Section 9.06 and the first sentence of Section 9.07 shall
include reference to its affiliates and its own and its affiliates’ officers,
directors, employees and agents):

(a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in
this Agreement and shall not by reason of this Agreement be a trustee for, or a
fiduciary with respect to, any Lender or Designated Indebtedness Holder;

(b) shall not be responsible to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the
Financing Agents or the Designated Indebtedness Holders for any recitals,
statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any
notice delivered hereunder, or in any other certificate or other document
referred to or provided for in, or

received by it under, this Agreement, or for the value, validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other
document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by the
Obligors or any other Person to perform any of its obligations hereunder;

(c) shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection
proceedings hereunder except, subject to Section 9.07, for any such litigation
or proceedings relating to the enforcement of the guarantee set forth in
Section 3, or the Liens created pursuant to Section 4; and

(d) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it
hereunder or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for
herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own
gross negligence or willful misconduct.

9.02 Information Regarding Secured Parties. The Borrower will at such times and
from time to time as shall be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent,
supply a list in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent
setting forth the amount of the Secured Obligations held by each Secured Party
(excluding, so long as JPMCB is both the Collateral Agent and the Administrative
Agent, the Credit Agreement Obligations) as at a date specified in such request.
The Collateral Agent shall provide any such list to any Secured Party upon
request. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon such information,
and such information shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of this
Agreement, except to the extent the Collateral Agent shall have been notified by
a Secured Party that such information as set forth on any such list is
inaccurate or in dispute between such Secured Party and the Borrower.

9.03 Reliance by Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to
rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any
thereof by telephone, telecopy, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it in good
faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf
of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal
counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Collateral
Agent. As to any fact relating to, or compliance with, any Designated
Indebtedness Document, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled (but is not
required) to rely on a certificate or certificates of the Borrower. As to any
matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall
in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by (i) the
Required Secured Parties or (ii) where expressly provided for in Section 10.03,
the Required Lenders, and such instructions of the Required Secured Parties or
the Required Lenders, as applicable, and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Secured Parties. If in one or
more instances the Collateral Agent takes any action or assumes any
responsibility not specifically delegated to it pursuant to this Agreement,
neither the taking of such action nor the assumption of such responsibility
shall be deemed to be an express or implied undertaking on the part of the
Collateral Agent that it will take the same or similar action or assume the same
or similar responsibility in any other instance.

9.04 Rights as a Secured Party. With respect to its obligation to extend credit
under the Credit Agreement, JPMCB (and any successor acting as Collateral Agent)
in its capacity as a Lender under the Credit Agreement shall have the same
rights and powers hereunder as any other Secured Party and may exercise the same
as though it were not acting as Collateral Agent, and the term “Secured Party”
or “Secured Parties” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the
Collateral Agent in its individual capacity. JPMCB (and any successor acting as
Collateral Agent) and its affiliates may (without having to account therefor to
any other Secured Party) accept deposits from, lend money to, make investments
in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with any
of the Obligors (and any of their Subsidiaries or affiliates) as if it were not
acting as Collateral Agent, and JPMCB and its affiliates may accept fees and
other consideration from any of the Obligors for services in connection with
this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the other
Secured Parties.

9.05 Indemnification. Each Lender and each Designated Indebtedness Holder by
acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Security Documents
severally agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent and each Related Party of the
Collateral Agent (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) (to the extent
not reimbursed under Section 10.04, but without limiting the obligations of the
Obligors under Section 10.04) ratably in accordance with the aggregate Secured
Obligations held by the Lenders and the Designated Indebtedness Holders, for any
and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature
whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any
Indemnitee (including by any other Secured Party) arising out of or by reason of
any investigation in connection with or in any way relating to or arising out of
this Agreement, any other Debt Documents, or any other documents contemplated by
or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby (including the costs and expenses that the Obligors are obligated to pay
under Section 10.04, but excluding, unless an Event of Default or a Trigger
Event has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses
incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement
of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided

books of any Obligor. The Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or

successor Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Secured
Parties and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the

Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation
hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall continue
in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken

Guarantee and Security Agreement

- 35 -

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

the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder
or (ii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other
theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from (x) the bad faith, fraud, willful misconduct or
gross negligence of such Indemnitee, (y) a claim brought by the Borrower or any
Obligor against such Indemnitee for breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations
under this Agreement or the other Debt Documents, if the Borrower or such
Obligor has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such
claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) a claim arising
as a result of a dispute between Indemnitees (other than claims arising out of
any act or omission by the Borrower or its Affiliates). In addition, no
Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification under this paragraph for any
loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arising out of the execution and
delivery of this Agreement in violation of an agreement to which such Indemnitee
is a party, or law to which such Indemnitee is subject, nor be entitled to
reimbursement for expenses in connection with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement in excess of the limitations previously agreed in writing referred to
in Section 9.03(a) of the Credit Agreement.

Each Indemnitee agrees to notify the Obligors as promptly as practicable after
the assertion against it of any claim for which it intends to seek indemnity
under this paragraph, provided that failure of any Indemnitee to provide such
notice shall not affect its right to be indemnified pursuant to this paragraph.
So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Obligors will
be entitled to participate in any claim, action, litigation, investigation or
proceeding (collectively, “Proceedings”) and, to the extent that they may, in
accordance with this section, elect by written notice delivered to the
Indemnitee, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to such Indemnitee; provided that if the defendants in any such Proceedings
include both the Indemnitee and any Obligor (or its Affiliates) and the
Indemnitee shall have concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it
which are different from or additional to those available to the Borrower, the
Indemnitee shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal
defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such Proceedings on
behalf of such Indemnitee.

Upon receipt of notice from the Obligors to any Indemnitee of their election, to
the extent the Obligors are permitted to do so in accordance with the foregoing,
to assume the defense of such Proceedings, and upon approval (not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) by the Indemnitee of counsel proposed by the
Obligors, the Obligors will not be liable to such Indemnitee for expenses
incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof (other than
reasonable and documented costs of investigation) unless (i) the Indemnitee
shall have employed separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal
defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding paragraph
(it being understood, however that, subject to the foregoing, the Obligors shall
not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to
any local counsel), approved by the relevant Indemnitee, representing the
Indemnitees who are parties to such Proceedings), (ii) the Obligors shall not
have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee to represent the
Indemnitee within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the
Proceedings or (iii) the Obligors

 

Guarantee and Security Agreement

- 36 -

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

have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the Indemnitee. No
Obligor shall be liable for any settlement of any Proceedings effected without
its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
but if settled with its written consent or if there be a final judgment for the
plaintiff or claimant in any such Proceedings, the Obligors agree to indemnify
and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in
accordance with the provisions of this section. Notwithstanding the immediately
preceding sentence, the Obligors shall be liable for any settlement of any
Proceedings effected without their written consent if (i) an Indemnitee shall
have requested the Obligors to reimburse such Indemnitee for legal or other
expenses in connection with investigating, responding to or defending such
Proceedings as provided by this section, (ii) such settlement is entered into
more than sixty (60) days after receipt by the Obligors of such request for
reimbursement and (iii) the Obligors shall not have reimbursed such Indemnitee
in accordance with such request and this section prior to the date of such
settlement. The Obligors shall not, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect
any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceedings in respect of which
indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless such
settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee in form and
substance satisfactory to such Indemnitee from all liability on claims that are
the subject matter of such Proceedings and (y) does not include any statement as
to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of
any Indemnitee.

Neither the Borrower nor any Obligor shall be liable to any Indemnitee for any
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of, in
connection with, this Agreement asserted by an Indemnitee against the Borrower
or any other Obligor, provided that the foregoing limitation shall not be deemed
to impair or affect the Obligations of the Borrower under the preceding
provisions of this subsection.

10.05 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the Obligors and the
Secured Parties (provided that none of the Obligors shall assign or transfer its
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent; provided further that none of the Lenders party to the Credit
Agreement shall assign or transfer their rights or obligations hereunder other
than in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 9.04 of the Credit
Agreement).

10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each

entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter
hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or
written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by the Collateral Agent and when the
Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken
together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and

validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a
paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as
provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures
in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures
and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act.

10.07 Severability. If any provision hereof is invalid and unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) the other
provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and
shall be liberally construed in order to carry out the intentions of the parties
hereto as nearly as may be possible and (b) the invalidity or unenforceability
of any provision hereof in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.08 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the

agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or

right that any Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement against any Obligor or its properties in
the courts of any jurisdiction.

to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which
it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to
in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient
forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing
in this
