(d)                                 The guarantee contained in this Section 2
shall remain in full force and effect until all the Borrower Obligations and all
of the Guarantor Obligations shall have been satisfied by indefeasible payment
in full in cash (in each case, other than with respect to contingent
indemnification obligations to the extent no claim has been asserted), no Letter
of Credit Obligation shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall be
terminated.

 

(e)                                  No payment made by any Borrower, any of the
Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by
any Agent or any Lender from any of the Borrowers, 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 or the Guarantor
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 any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the
Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Obligations or any payment received or
collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations or the
Guarantor Obligations), remain liable for the Borrower Obligations and the
Guarantor Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder

have been satisfied by indefeasible payment in full in cash (in each case, other
than with respect to contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no
claim has been asserted), no Letter of Credit Obligation shall be outstanding
and the Commitments shall have been terminated.

 

2.2.                            Right of Contribution.  Each Guarantor hereby
agrees that to the extent 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 Agents and the Lenders,
and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Agents and the Lenders 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 Agent or any Lender, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be
subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender
against any Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or
guarantee or right of offset held by any Agent or any Lender for the

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

 

payment of the Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Obligations, nor shall any
Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any
Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor
hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Agents and the Lenders by the
Borrowers on account of the Borrower Obligations, and all amounts owing to the
Agents and the Lenders by any other Guarantor on account of the Guarantor
Obligations, shall have been satisfied by indefeasible payment in full in cash
(in each case, other than with respect to contingent indemnification obligations
to the extent no claim has been asserted), no Letter of Credit Obligation shall
be outstanding and the Commitments shall have been 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 and the Guarantor Obligations shall not
have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for
the Agents and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and
shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the
Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by
such Guarantor to the Collateral Agent, if required), to be applied against the
Borrower Obligations and the Guarantor Obligations, whether matured or
unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine..

 

2.4.                            Amendments, etc. with respect to the Borrower
Obligations and the Guarantor 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 or the Guarantor
Obligations made by any Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender and any of the Borrower Obligations and the
Guarantor Obligations continued, and the Borrower Obligations and the Guarantor
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 Lender, 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 Required 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 any Agent or any
Lender for the payment of the Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Obligations
may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.  Neither the Agents nor
any Lender 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 the
Guarantor Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any
property subject thereto.

 

2.5.                            Guarantees Absolute and Unconditional.  Each
Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or
accrual of any of the Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Obligations and
notice of or proof of reliance by any Agent or Lender upon the guarantee
contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this
Section 2; the Borrower Obligations and the Guarantor 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

 

11

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

 

dealings between the Borrowers and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and
the Agents and Lenders, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively
presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee
contained in this Section 2.  Each Guarantor waives (a) diligence, presentment,
protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the
Borrowers or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Borrower Obligations and
the Guarantor Obligations, (b) any right to require any Secured Party, as a
condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against
any Borrower, any other Guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the
Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security
held from any Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person,
(iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or
credit on the books of any Secured Party in favor of any Borrower or any other
Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Secured Party
whatsoever; (c) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of
authority or any disability or other defense of any Borrower or any other
Guarantor (other than final payment in full of the Obligations) including any
defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability
of the Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason
of the cessation of the liability of any Borrower or any other Guarantor;
(d) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the
obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects
more burdensome than that of the principal; (e) any defense based upon any
Secured Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Obligations,
except behavior which amounts to gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final,
non-appealable order; (f) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or
otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal
or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the
benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability
hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set offs, recoupments
and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any
Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien
or any property subject thereto; (g) except as agreed to in the Loan Documents,
notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of
dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof,
notices of default hereunder or any agreement or instrument related thereto,
notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Obligations or any
agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to any Borrower
and notices of any of the matters referred to in this Section 2 and any right to
consent to any thereof; (h) any defenses (other than final payment in full of
the Obligations) or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which
limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may
conflict with the terms hereof; and (i) to the extent not prohibited by law, any
right to revoke this guarantee as to future transactions giving rise to any
Guarantor Obligations.

 

Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this
Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional
guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the
Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Borrower Obligations or
the Guarantor Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee
or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by
any Agent or Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or

 

12

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

 

counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any
time be available to or be asserted by any Borrower or any other Person against
any Agent or Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without
notice to or knowledge of any Borrower or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or
might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any
Borrower for the Borrower Obligations or of such Guarantor for the Guarantor
Obligations under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in
any other instance.  When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its
rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, any Agent or Lender may,
but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise
pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Borrower, any other
Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee
for the Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Obligations or any right of offset
with respect thereto, and any failure by any Agent or Lender to make any such
demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from
any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any
such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset,
or any release of any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any
such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any
Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or
affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a
matter of law, of any Agent or Lender against any Guarantor.  For the purposes
hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal
proceedings.

 

Each Guarantor agrees that (a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due
and not of collectability, (b) this Guaranty is a primary obligation of each
Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety and (c) Administrative Agent may
enforce this guaranty upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an
Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between any
Borrower and any Secured Party with respect to the existence of such Event of
Default.  So long as any Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall,
without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, commence or join with
any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case
or proceeding of or against any Borrower or any other Guarantor.  The
obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired,
discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding,
voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,
reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of any Borrower or any other
Guarantor or by any defense which any Borrower or any other Guarantor may have
by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body
resulting from any such proceeding.

 

2.6.                            Reinstatement.  The guarantee contained in this
Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be,
if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Borrower Obligations
or the Guarantor Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or
returned by any Agent or Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution,
liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a
result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or
trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial
part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been
made.

 

13

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

 

2.7.                            Payments.  Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that
payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or
counterclaim in Dollars at the office specified in Section 2.19 of the Credit
Agreement.

 

2.8.                            Financial Condition of Borrowers.  The Loans may
be made to Borrowers (or any of them) or continued from time to time, in each
case without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the
financial or other condition of Borrowers (or any of them) at the time of any
such grant or continuation, as the case may be.  No Secured Party shall have any
obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any
Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of Borrowers (or any of
them).  Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from Borrowers
on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of Borrowers and their
respective ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, and each
Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the
financial condition of Borrowers and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk
of nonpayment of the Guarantor Obligations.  Each Guarantor hereby waives and
relinquishes, to the extent not prohibited by law, any duty on the part of any
Secured Party to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business,
operations or conditions of Borrowers (or any of them) now known or hereafter
known by any Secured Party

 

SECTION 3.  GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST

 

Each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of
the Secured Parties, a security interest in and continuing lien on, all of such
Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under all personal property
(other than Excluded Property, as defined below) of such Grantor including, but
not limited to the following, in each case now owned or at any time hereafter
acquired by such Grantor or in which such Grantor now has or at any time in the
future may acquire any right, title or interest (collectively, the
“Collateral”), as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and
performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) of the Obligations:

 

(a)                                 all Accounts;

 

(b)                                 all Chattel Paper;

 

(c)                                  all Documents;

 

(d)                                 all General Intangibles, including, without
limitation, all Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Licenses;

 

(e)                                  all Goods;

(g)                                  all Insurance;

 

(h)                                 all Investment Related Property;

 

14

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

 

(i)                                     all Letter of Credit Rights;

 

(j)                                    all Money;

 

(k)                                 all Commercial Tort Claims;

 

(l)                                     all Collateral Records, Collateral
Support and Supporting Obligations relating to any of the foregoing; and

 

(m)                             all Proceeds, products, accessions, rents and
profits of or in respect of any of the foregoing.

 

provided, however, that notwithstanding any of the other provisions set forth in
this Section 3, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security
interest in any of the following property (the “Excluded Property”): 
(a) Excluded Equity; (b) property to the extent that such grant of a security
interest is prohibited by any rule of law, statute or regulation, requires a
consent not obtained of any government, governmental body or official or is
prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the
termination of or requires any consent not obtained under, any contract,
license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing or giving rise to
such property, except to the extent that such rule of law, statute or regulation
or the term in such contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document
or shareholder or similar agreement providing for such prohibition, breach,
default or termination or requiring such consent is ineffective under applicable
law; and (c) any Trademark applications filed in the United States Patent and
Trademark Office on the basis of such Grantor’s “intent-to-use” such trademark,
unless and until acceptable evidence of use of the Trademark has been filed with
the United States Patent and Trademark Office pursuant to Section 1(c) or
Section 1(d) of the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. 1051, et seq.), whereupon such
Trademark application will be deemed automatically included in the Collateral,
to the extent that granting the Security Interest in such Trademark application
prior to such filing would adversely affect the enforceability or validity of
such Trademark application.

or control of any third party or is otherwise located at a location owned by a
third party, each Grantor shall join with the Collateral Agent in notifying the
third party of the Collateral Agent’s security interest and obtaining an
acknowledgment and agreement from such third party in form and substance
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent that such third party is holding such
Equipment and Inventory for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and that the

(v)                                 any Goods now or hereafter produced by any

(a)                                 Representations and Warranties.  Each
Grantor represents and warrants, on the Closing Date and on each Credit Date,
that:

 

(i)                                     each Receivable (a) is and will be the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Account Debtor in respect thereof,
representing an unsatisfied obligation of such Account Debtor, (b) is and will
be enforceable in accordance with its terms, (c) is not and will not be subject
to any setoffs, defenses, taxes, counterclaims (except with respect to refunds,

instrumentality thereof, any state or municipality or any foreign sovereign,
except to extent in compliance with clause (m) of the definition of Eligible
Accounts under the Credit Agreement.  No Receivable requires the consent of the
Account Debtor in respect thereof in connection with the pledge hereunder,
except any consent which has been obtained;

 

(iii)                               no Receivable is evidenced by, or
constitutes, an Instrument or Chattel Paper which has not been delivered to, or
otherwise subjected to the control of, the Collateral Agent to the extent
required by, and in accordance with Section 4.3(c); and

 

20

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

 

(iv)                              each Grantor has delivered to the Collateral
Agent a complete and correct copy of each standard form of document under which
a Receivable may arise.

 

(b)                                 Covenants and Agreements:  Each Grantor
hereby covenants and agrees that:

 

(i)                                     it shall keep and maintain at its own
cost and expense satisfactory and complete records of the Receivables,
including, but not limited to, the originals of all documentation with respect
to all Receivables and records of all payments received and all credits granted
on the Receivables, all merchandise returned and all other dealings therewith;

 

(ii)                                  it shall mark conspicuously, in form and
manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, all Chattel
Paper, Instruments and other evidence of Receivables (other than any delivered
to the Collateral Agent as provided herein), as well as the Receivables Records
with an appropriate reference to the fact that the Collateral Agent has a
security interest therein;

 

(iii)                               it shall perform in all material respects
all of its obligations with respect to the Receivables;

 

(iv)                              it shall not amend, modify, terminate or waive
any provision of any Receivable in any manner which could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect on the value of such Receivable as
Collateral.  Other than in the ordinary course of business as generally
conducted by it on and prior to the date hereof, and except as otherwise
provided in subsection (v) below, such Grantor shall not (w) grant any extension
or renewal of the time of payment of any Receivable, (x) compromise or settle
any dispute, claim or legal proceeding with respect to any Receivable for less
than the total unpaid balance thereof, (y) release, wholly or partially, any
Person liable for the payment thereof, or (z) allow any credit or discount

Supporting Obligation or Collateral Support, in each case, at its own expense,
and in connection with such collections and exercise, such Grantor shall take
such action as such Grantor or the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or
advisable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the
right at any time to notify, or require any Grantor to notify, any Account
Debtor of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Receivables and any
Supporting Obligation and, in addition, at any time following the occurrence and
during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may:  (1)
direct the Account Debtors under any Receivables to make payment of all amounts
due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to the Collateral
Agent; (2) notify, or require any Grantor to notify, each Person maintaining a
lockbox or similar arrangement to which Account Debtors under any Receivables
have been directed to make payment to remit all amounts representing collections
on checks and other payment items from time to time sent to or deposited in such
lockbox or other arrangement

 

21

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

 

directly to the Collateral Agent; and (3) enforce, at the expense of such
Grantor, collection of any such Receivables and to adjust, settle or compromise
the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such
Grantor might have done.  If the Collateral Agent notifies any Grantor that it
has elected to collect the Receivables in accordance with the preceding
sentence, any payments of Receivables received by such Grantor shall be
forthwith (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) deposited by such
Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the
Collateral Agent if required, in the Collateral Account maintained under the
sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent, and until so turned over, all
amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by such
Grantor in respect of the Receivables, any Supporting Obligation or Collateral
Support shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent
hereunder and shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and such
Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any
Receivable, or release wholly or partly any Account Debtor or obligor thereof,
or allow any credit or discount thereon; and

 

(vi)                              it shall use its best commercial efforts to
keep in full force and effect any Supporting Obligation or Collateral Support
relating to any Receivable.

 

(c)                                  Delivery and Control of Receivables.  With
respect to any Receivables that are evidenced by, or constitute, Chattel Paper
or Instruments, each Grantor shall cause each originally executed copy thereof
to be delivered to the Collateral Agent (or its agent or designee) appropriately
indorsed to the Collateral Agent or indorsed in blank:  (i) with respect to any
such Receivables in existence on the date hereof, on or prior to the date hereof
and (ii) with respect to any such Receivables hereafter arising, within ten (10)
days of such Grantor acquiring rights therein.  With respect to any Receivables
which would constitute “electronic chattel paper” under Article 9 of the UCC,
each Grantor shall take all steps necessary to give the Collateral Agent control
over such Receivables (within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the UCC): (i) with
respect to any such Receivables in existence on the date hereof, on or prior to
the date hereof and (ii) with respect to any such Receivables hereafter arising,
within ten (10) days of such Grantor acquiring rights therein.  Any Receivable
not otherwise required to be delivered or subjected to the control of the
Collateral Agent in accordance with this subsection (c) shall be delivered or
subjected to such control upon request of the Collateral Agent.

4.4.1.                  Investment Related Property Generally.

 

(a)                                 Covenants and Agreements.  Each Grantor
hereby covenants and agrees that:

 

(i)                                     in the event it acquires rights in any
Investment Related Property after the date hereof, it shall deliver to the
Collateral Agent a completed Guarantee and Collateral Agreement Supplement,
reflecting such new Investment Related Property and all other Investment Related
Property.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the
security interest of the Collateral Agent shall attach to all Investment

 

22

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

 

Related Property immediately upon any Grantor’s acquisition of rights therein
and shall not be affected by the failure of any Grantor to deliver a supplement
to Schedule 4.4 as required hereby;

 

(ii)                                  except as provided in the next sentence,
in the event such Grantor receives any dividends, interest or distributions on
any Investment Related Property, or any securities or other property upon the
merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of any issuer of any
Investment Related Property, then (a) such dividends, interest or distributions
and securities or other property shall be included in the definition of
Collateral without further action and (b) such Grantor shall immediately take
all steps, if any, necessary or advisable to ensure the validity, perfection,
priority and, if applicable, control of the Collateral Agent over such
Investment Related Property (including, without limitation, delivery thereof to
the Collateral Agent) and pending any such action such Grantor shall be deemed
to hold such dividends, interest, distributions, securities or other property in
trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall segregate such
dividends, distributions, Securities or other property from all other property
of such Grantor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent authorizes each
Grantor to retain all ordinary cash dividends and distributions paid in the
normal course of the business of the issuer and consistent with the past
practice of the issuer and all scheduled payments of interest, in each case, to
the extent permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement; and

 

(iii)                               each Grantor consents to the grant by each
other Grantor of a security interest in all Investment Related Property to the
Collateral Agent.

 

(b)                                 Delivery and Control.

 

(i)                                     Each Grantor agrees that with respect to
any Investment Related Property in which it currently has rights it shall comply
with the provisions of this Section 4.4.1(b)(i) and with respect to any
Investment Related Property hereafter acquired by such Grantor it shall comply
with the provisions of this Section 4.4.1(b)(i) immediately upon acquiring
rights therein, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent.  With respect to any Investment Related Property that is
represented by a certificate or that is an “instrument” (other than any
Investment Related Property credited to a Securities Account) it shall cause
such certificate or instrument to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, indorsed
in blank by an “effective indorsement” (as defined in Article 8 of the UCC),
regardless of whether such certificate constitutes a “certificated security” for
purposes of the UCC.  With respect to any Investment Related Property that is an
“uncertificated security” for purposes of the UCC (other than any
“uncertificated securities” credited to a Securities Account), it shall cause
the issuer of such uncertificated security to either (i) register the Collateral
Agent as the registered owner thereof on the books and records of the issuer or
(ii) execute an uncertificated securities control agreement, pursuant to which
such issuer agrees to comply with the Collateral Agent’s instructions with
respect to such uncertificated security without further consent by such Grantor.

covenants and agreements relating to Investment Related Property in this
Agreement or elsewhere herein or in the Credit Agreement, each Grantor shall be
entitled to exercise or refrain from exercising any and all voting and other
consensual rights pertaining to the Investment Related Property or any material
part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement
or the Credit Agreement; provided no Grantor shall exercise or refrain from
exercising any such right if such action would have a Material Adverse Effect on
the value of the Investment Related Property or any material part thereof; and
provided further, such Grantor shall give the Collateral Agent at least five
(5) Business Days prior written notice of the manner in which it intends to
exercise, or the reasons for refraining from exercising, any such right; it
being understood, however, that neither the voting by such Grantor of any
Pledged Equity Interests for, or such Grantor’s consent to, the election of
directors (or similar governing body) at a regularly scheduled annual or other
meeting of stockholders or with respect to incidental matters at any such
meeting, nor such Grantor’s consent to or approval of any action otherwise
permitted under this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, shall be deemed
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement within the
meaning of this Section 4.4.1(c)(i)(1), and no notice of any such voting or
consent need be given to the Collateral Agent;

 

(2)                                 the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute
and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to each Grantor all proxies,
and other instruments as such Grantor may from time to time reasonably request
for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and other
consensual rights when and to the extent which it is entitled to exercise
pursuant to clause (1) above; and

 

(3)                                 upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default:

 

(A)                               all rights of each Grantor to exercise or
refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights which it would
otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease and all such
rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent who shall thereupon
have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights; and

 

(B)                               in order to permit the Collateral Agent to
exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to
exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and

 

24

other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder: (1) each
Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and
delivered) to the Collateral Agent all proxies, dividend payment orders and
other instruments as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably
request and (2) the each Grantor acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may
utilize the power of attorney set forth in Section 6.1.

Collateral Agent of the voting or other rights provided for in this Agreement or
the exercise of remedies in respect thereof;

Deposit Accounts.

 

(ii)                                  In addition to the foregoing, if any
issuer of any Investment Related Property (other than Excluded Equity) is
located in a jurisdiction outside of the United States, each Grantor shall take
such additional actions, including, without limitation, causing the issuer to

Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, without notice to
any Grantor, to transfer all or any portion of the Investment Related Property

has been given or made.

 

(b)                                 Covenants and Agreements.  Each Grantor
hereby covenants and agrees that:

notify, or require any Grantor to notify, the counterparty to make all payments
under the Material Agreements directly to the Collateral Agent;

 

(ii)                                  it shall deliver promptly to the
Collateral Agent a copy of each material demand, notice or document received by
it relating in any way to any Material Agreement;

materially adverse to such Grantor or (2) any new Material Agreement is entered
into by such Grantor, a written statement describing such event, with copies of
such material amendments or new contracts, delivered to the Collateral Agent (to
the extent such delivery is permitted by the terms of any such Material
Agreement, provided no prohibition on delivery shall be effective if it were
bargained for by such Grantor with the intent of avoiding compliance with this
Section 4.5(b)(iii)), and an explanation of any actions being taken with respect
thereto;

 

(iv)                              it shall perform in all material respects all
of its obligations with respect to the Material Agreements;

 

(v)                                 it shall promptly and diligently exercise
each material right (except the right of termination and where the failure to

under any Material Agreement and any related Supporting Obligation or Collateral
Support, in each case, at its own expense and, in

 

29

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

 

connection with such collections and exercise, such Grantor shall take such
action as such Grantor or the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable;

 

(vi)                              it shall use its best efforts to keep in full
force and effect any Supporting Obligation or Collateral Support relating to any

pending or, to the best of such Grantor’s knowledge, threatened;

 

(vi)                              no Intellectual Property owned by or licensed
to such Grantor has been licensed by any Grantor to any Affiliate or third
party, except as disclosed in Schedule 4.7;

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

 

(xi)                              except as set forth on Schedule 4.7, no

hereby covenants and agrees that it shall:

 

(i)                                     not do any act or omit to do any act

exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any
Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor
shall:

 

(i)                                     permit, and hereby authorizes,
Collateral Agent to file such financing or continuation statements, or
amendments thereto, and execute and deliver such other agreements, instruments,
endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, as may be

 

33

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

 

necessary, or as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to
perfect and preserve the Security Interest granted or purported to be granted
hereby;

 

(ii)                                  take all actions necessary to ensure the

such Collateral as “all assets” or “all assets now owned or hereafter
acquired.”  Each Grantor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time
statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and
such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Collateral Agent may
reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

 

SECTION 5.  REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

 

5.1.                            Generally.

 

(a)                                 If any Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the
Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or
otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of
the Collateral Agent on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to
the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Obligations then
owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the
following separately, successively or simultaneously:

 

(i)                                     require any Grantor to, and each Grantor
hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and promptly upon request of the
Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed
by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place
to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both
parties;

 

(ii)                                  enter onto the property where any
Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial
process;

 

34

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

 

(iii)                               prior to the disposition of the Collateral,
store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the
Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Collateral Agent
deems appropriate;

 

(iv)                              without notice except as specified below or
under the UCC, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive
basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more
parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or
elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and
at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may
deem commercially reasonable; and

 

(v)                                 bring suit or otherwise commence any action
or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or otherwise to
enforce any Account, contractual right or Intellectual Property.

 

(b)                                 The Collateral Agent or any Secured Party
may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private
(to the extent the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind
that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely
distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the
Collateral Agent, as Collateral Agent for and representative of the Secured
Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or
payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at
any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the
Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral
payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale.  Each purchaser at any such sale
shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part
of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by
applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has
or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now
existing or hereafter enacted.  Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice
of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to such Grantor
of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private
sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.  The Collateral
Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice
of sale having been given.  The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or
private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed
therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and
place to which it was so adjourned.  Each Grantor agrees that it would not be
commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral
or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of
assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable
capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets.  Each
Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason
of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a
private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public
sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not
offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.  If the proceeds of any sale or
other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Obligations,
Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the reasonable fees of any
attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.  Each
Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this
Section 5 will cause irreparable injury to the

 

35

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

 

Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in
respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant
contained in this Section 5 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 giving rise to
the Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. 
Nothing in this Section 5 shall in any way alter the rights of the Collateral
Agent hereunder.

 

(c)                                  The Collateral Agent may sell the
Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral.  The Collateral
Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. 
This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial
reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

 

(d)                                 The Collateral Agent shall have no
obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.

 

5.2.                            Sales on Credit.  If Collateral Agent sells any
of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only with payments
actually made by purchaser and received by Collateral Agent and applied to the
Obligations.  In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral,
Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with
proceeds of the sale.

 

5.3.                            Deposit Accounts.  If any Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may apply the balance from
any Deposit Account or instruct the bank at which any Deposit Account is
maintained to pay the balance of any Deposit Account to or for the benefit of
the Collateral Agent.

 

5.4.                            Investment Related Property.  (a) Unless an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent
shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Collateral Agent’s intent
to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.1(b), each Grantor
shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends and distributions paid in
respect of the Pledged Equity Interests paid in the normal course of business of
the relevant issuer and consistent with past practice, to the extent permitted
in the Credit Agreement, to pay and declare dividends and distributions to the
extent permitted by the Credit Agreement and to exercise all voting, corporate
(or limited liability company or partnership, as applicable) or other rights
with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests; provided however, that no vote
shall be cast or corporate or other organizational right exercised or other
action taken which would impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent
with or result in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

(b)                                 If an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing and the Collateral Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise
such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Collateral Agent shall
have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds
paid in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests and make application thereof to
the Obligations in such order as the Collateral Agent may determine, and
(ii) any or all of the Pledged Equity Interests shall be registered in the name
of the

36

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

 

Collateral Agent or its nominee, and the Collateral Agent or its nominee may
thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to
such Pledged Equity Interests at any meeting of shareholders, members, partners
or other interest holders of the relevant issuer or issuers or otherwise and (y)
any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other
rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Equity Interests as if
it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to
exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Equity Interests upon the
merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental
change in the corporate or other organizational structure of any issuer, or upon
the exercise by any Grantor or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or
option pertaining to such Pledged Equity Interests, and in connection therewith,
the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Equity Interests
with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated
agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine),
all without liability except to account for property actually received by it,
but the Collateral 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 Equity Interests pledged by such Grantor
hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral
Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor
agrees that each issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii)
unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments
with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests directly to the Collateral Agent.

 

(d)                                 Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of
certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state
securities laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale
of all or any part of the Investment Related Property constituting securities
conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Investment Related
Property under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit
purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such
Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not with a
view to the distribution or resale thereof.  Each Grantor acknowledges that any
private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable
through a public sale without such restrictions (including with respect to
Investment Related Property constituting securities a public offering made
pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and,
notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private
sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and
that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and
with respect to Investment Related Property constituting securities no
obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period
of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of
public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable
state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so
register it.  If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell
any or all of the Investment Related Property, upon written request, each
Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Equity Interests to be
sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from

 

37

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

 

time to time to furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as the
Collateral Agent may request in order to determine the number and nature of
interest, shares or other instruments included in the Investment Related
Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent in, if applicable, exempt
transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time
in effect.

 

5.5.                            Intellectual Property.  Anything contained
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, following the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default:

 

(a)                                 the Collateral Agent shall have the right
(but not the obligation) to bring suit or otherwise commence any action or
proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or otherwise, in the
Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, to enforce any Intellectual Property
included in the Collateral, in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of
the Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all
documents required by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement and such
Grantor shall reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent in connection with
the exercise of its rights under this Section in accordance with the Credit
Agreement;

 

(b)                                 upon written demand from the Collateral
Agent, each Grantor shall grant, assign, convey or otherwise transfer to the
Collateral Agent or such Collateral Agent’s designee all of such Grantor’s
right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property which comprises
the Collateral and shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such
documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes
of this Agreement;

 

(c)                                  each Grantor agrees that such an assignment
and/or recording shall be applied to reduce the Obligations outstanding only to
the extent that the Collateral Agent (or any Secured Party) receives cash
proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, such Intellectual
Property; and

 

(d)                                 the Collateral Agent shall have the right to
notify, or require each Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to amounts
due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property
which comprises the Collateral, of the existence of the security interest
created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts
directly to the Collateral Agent, and, upon such notification and at the expense
of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle
or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same
extent as such Grantor might have done.

 

5.6.                            Grantor’s Personnel.  Upon written notice from
the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall make available to the Collateral Agent,
to the extent within such Grantor’s power and authority, such personnel in such
Grantor’s employ on the date of an Event of Default and for so long as such
Event of Default shall be continuing as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
designate, by name, title or job responsibility, to permit such Grantor to
continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products
and services sold

 

38

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

 

or delivered by such Grantor under or in connection with any Intellectual
Property included in the Collateral, such persons to be available to perform
their prior functions on the Collateral Agent’s behalf and to be compensated by
the Collateral Agent at such Grantor’s expense on a per diem, pro rata basis
consistent with the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of the
date of such Event of Default;

 

5.7.                            Notification to Account Debtors.  The Collateral
Agent shall have the right to notify, or require each Grantor to notify, any
Account Debtors with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in
respect of any Collateral, of the existence of the Security Interest, to direct
such Account Debtors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the
Collateral Agent, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such
Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or
compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same
extent as such Grantor might have done.  Grantor shall not adjust, settle or
compromise the amount or payment of any such amount, or release wholly or partly
any Account Debtor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon.

 

5.8.                            Reassignment of Undisposed Collateral.  If
(i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver,
modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment or
other transfer to the Collateral Agent of any rights, title and interests in and
to the Collateral shall have been previously made and shall have become absolute
and effective, and (iv) the Obligations shall not have become immediately due
and payable, upon the written request of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent shall
promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor, at such Grantor’s sole cost and
expense, such assignments or other transfer as may be necessary to reassign to
such Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to
the Collateral Agent as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof (including
, but not limited to by way of any Intellectual Property License granted by, or
at the direction of, the Collateral Agent) that may have been made by the
Collateral Agent; provided that after giving effect to such reassignment, the
Security Interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights and
remedies of the Collateral Agent granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full
force and effect; and provided further, the rights, title and interests so
reassigned shall be free and clear of any other Liens granted by or on behalf of
the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties.

 

5.9.                            Grant of License to Collateral Agent.  Solely
for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies
under this Section 5 at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully
entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the
Collateral Agent, to the extent it has the right to do so, an irrevocable,
worldwide, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or
other compensation to such Grantor) to use, or otherwise operate under, license
or sublicense, any Intellectual Property now owned by or licensed to, or
hereafter acquired by or licensed to such Grantor, subject, in the case of
Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of
such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of said Trademarks.  The
foregoing license shall include access to all media in which any of the
applicable intellectual property may be recorded, processed or stored and all
computer programs related thereto.

 

39

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

 

5.10.                     Proceeds to be Turned Over To Collateral Agent.  If an
Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any
Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by
such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, segregated from
other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor,
be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such
Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). 
All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the
Collateral Agent in a collateral account maintained under its sole dominion and
control (such account, the “Collateral Account”).  All Proceeds while held by
the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for
the Collateral 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 5.10.

 

5.11.                     Application of Proceeds.  At such intervals as may be
agreed upon by the Borrowers 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
constituting Collateral, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and any
proceeds of the guarantees set forth in Section 2, in payment of the Obligations
in the order set forth in Section 7.03 of the Credit Agreement.

 

5.12.                     Registration Rights.  (a) If the Collateral Agent
shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Equity
Interests constituting securities pursuant to Section 5.4, and if in the opinion
of the Collateral Agent it is necessary or advisable to have such Pledged Equity
Interests, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions
of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor will cause the issuer thereof to
(i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such issuer to
execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be
done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent,
necessary or advisable to register such Pledged Equity Interests, or that
portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use
its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become
effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the
first public offering of such Pledged Equity Interests, or that portion thereof
to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related
prospectus which, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, are necessary or
advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable
thereto.  Each Grantor agrees to cause such issuer to comply with the provisions
of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions which the
Collateral Agent shall reasonably designate and to make available to its
security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not
be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities
Act.

 

(b)                                 Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral
Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all such Pledged Equity
Interests, 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.

 

40

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

 

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 Collateral
Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of such Pledged Equity
Interests 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.

 

(c)                                  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 Equity Interests pursuant to
this Section 5.11 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other
applicable requirements of law.

 

5.13.                     Deficiency.  Each Grantor shall remain jointly and
severally liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other
disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations.

 

SECTION 6.  THE COLLATERAL AGENT

 

6.1.                            Collateral Agent’s Appointment as
Attorney-in-Fact, etc.  (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the
Collateral 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 Collateral 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
with respect to any Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or
proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the
Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under
any 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 Collateral Agent may request to evidence the
Collateral Agent’s 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 for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of
the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

 

41

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

 

(iv)                              execute, in connection with any sale provided
for in Section 5, any indorsements, assignments or other instruments of
conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

 

(v)                                 (1) 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 Collateral Agent or as the Collateral
Agent shall direct; (2) 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; (3) commence and
prosecute 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; (4) defend any suit,
action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any
Collateral; (5) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding
and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral
Agent may deem appropriate; (6) license, sublicense, or assign any Intellectual
Property on such terms and conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral
Agent shall determine appropriate; and (7) 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 Collateral Agent were the absolute owner
thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such
Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which
the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the
Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s security interests therein and to effect
the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might
do.

 

(b)                                 If any Grantor fails to perform or comply
with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral 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 reasonable expenses of the Collateral
Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this
Section 6.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the
default rate at which interest would then be payable on past due Loans under the
Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date
reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the
Collateral 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.

 

6.2.                            Duty of Collateral Agent.  The Collateral
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
Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account.  Neither the
Collateral 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

 

42

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

 

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.  The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder
are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the Lenders’ interests in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any Lender
to exercise any such powers.  The Collateral 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.

 

6.3.                            Authority of Collateral Agent.  Each Grantor
acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under
this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the
exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent and the
Secured Parties, 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 Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be
conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties 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 7.  MISCELLANEOUS

 

7.1.                            Amendments in Writing.  None of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified except in accordance with Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement.

 

7.2.                            Notices.  All notices, requests and demands to
or upon the Collateral Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the
manner provided for in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

 

7.3.                            No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative
Remedies.  Neither the Agents nor any Lender shall by any act (except by a
written instrument pursuant to Section 7.1), 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 any Agent or 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 any Agent or Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on
any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which
such Agent or 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.

 

43

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

 

7.4.                            Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.  (a) Each
Guarantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Agent and Lender and the Collateral
Agent for all its reasonable out-of-pocket 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 reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including the
allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to each Agent (without
duplication) and of counsel to each Lender.

 

(b)                                 Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save
the Agents and Lenders harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to,
or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other
similar taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to
any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.

 

(c)                                  Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save
the Agents and the Lenders harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution,
delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the
extent the Borrowers would be required to do so pursuant to Section 9.04 of the
Credit Agreement.

 

(d)                                 The agreements in this Section 7.4 shall
survive repayment of the Obligations.

 

7.5.                            Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be
binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the
benefit of the Agents and Lenders and their successors and assigns; provided
that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the
Agents.

 

7.6.                            Set-Off.  Each Grantor hereby irrevocably
authorizes each Agent and Lender at any time and from time to time while an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such
Grantor or any other Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each
Grantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other
credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or
indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held by or
owing to such Agent or Lender to or for the credit or the account of such
Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Agent or Lender may elect,
against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Grantor to
such Agent or Lender hereunder and claims of every nature and description of
such Agent or Lender against such Grantor, in any currency, whether arising
hereunder, under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, as such Agent
or Lender may elect, whether or not any Agent or Lender has made any demand for
payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent
or unmatured.  The applicable Agent or Lender shall notify such Grantor promptly
of any such set-off and the application made by such Agent or Lender of the
proceeds thereof, provided

 

44

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

 

that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off and application.  The rights of the Agents and Lenders under this
Section 7.6 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without
limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Agents and Lenders may have.

 

7.7.                            Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by
one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate
counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission), and all
of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the
same instrument.

 

7.8.                            Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement
which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

7.9.                            Section Headings.  The Section headings used in
this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the
construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

 

7.10.                     Integration.  This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents represent the agreement of the Grantors, the Agents and the Lenders
with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no
promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Agent or Lender
relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or
referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

 

7.11.                     GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,
AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK, INCLUDING GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW 5-1401.

 

7.12.                     Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers.  Each Grantor
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

 

(a)                                 submits for itself and its property in any
legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any
judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the
courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for
the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

 

(b)                                 consents that any such action or proceeding
may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or
hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court
or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and
agrees not to plead or claim the same;

 

45

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

 

(c)                                  agrees that service of process in any such
action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or
certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to
such Grantor to the address referred to in Section 7.2;

 

(d)                                 agrees that nothing herein shall affect the
right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall
limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

 

(e)                                  waives, to the extent not prohibited by
law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding
referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential
damages.

 

7.13.                     Acknowledgements.  Each Grantor hereby acknowledges
that:

 

(a)                                 it has been advised by counsel in the
negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to which it is a party;

 

(b)                                 neither the Collateral Agent nor any Lender
has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the
relationship between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Collateral Agent and
Lenders, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that
of debtor and creditor; and

 

(c)                                  no joint venture is created hereby or by
the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions
contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Grantors and the Lenders.

 

7.14.                     Additional Grantors.  Each new Subsidiary of the
Borrowers that is formed or acquired after the Closing Date and is required to
become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.11 of the Credit
Agreement shall become a Grantor (and a Guarantor) for all purposes of this
Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption
Agreement in the form of Exhibit B hereto.

 

7.15.                     Releases.  (a) At such time as all of the Borrower
Obligations and all of the Guarantor Obligations shall have been satisfied by
indefeasible payment in full in cash (in each case, other than with respect to
contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim has been
asserted), and the Commitments shall have been terminated, and no Letters of
Credit Obligations shall be outstanding, the Collateral shall be released from
the Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than
those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Collateral Agent and
each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument
or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall
revert to the Grantors.  At the request and sole expense of any Grantor
following any such termination, the Collateral Agent shall deliver to such
Grantor any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent hereunder, and execute and
deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request
to evidence such termination.

 

46

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

 

(b)                                 If any of the Collateral shall be sold,
transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted
by the Credit Agreement, then the Collateral Agent, at the request and sole
expense of such Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases
or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the
Liens created hereby on such Collateral.  At the request and sole expense of the
Administrative Borrower, a Grantor shall be released from its obligations
hereunder in the event that all the Capital Stock of such Grantor shall be sold,
transferred or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Credit
Agreement; provided that the Administrative Borrower shall have delivered to the
Collateral Agent, at least ten Business Days prior to the date of the proposed
release, a written request for release identifying the relevant Grantor and the
terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price
thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification
by the Administrative Borrower stating that such transaction is in compliance
with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

7.16.                     WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM
THEREIN.

 

7.17.                     Intercreditor Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, each of (i) the obligations of the Grantors under this
Agreement, (ii) the Lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent
pursuant to this Agreement (including priority thereof), (iii) the release of
Collateral from the Lien granted and created hereby and (iv) the exercise of any
right or remedy by Collateral Agent hereunder are, in each case, subject to the
provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.  In the event of any conflict or
inconsistency between the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and this
Agreement, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement shall control.  In
furtherance of the foregoing, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
herein, prior to the payment in full of the Term Loan Obligations to the extent
that any Grantor is required to give physical possession or control (within the
meaning of the UCC) over any Collateral (other than the Revolving Credit
Priority Collateral) to Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents,
such requirement to give possession or control (within the meaning of the UCC)
shall be satisfied if such Collateral is delivered to and held by the Term Loan
Agent pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement and such action shall be deemed
satisfied to the extent undertaken with respect to the Term Loan Agent.
