Secured Obligations, hereby acknowledge and agree that the security interest
created hereby in the Collateral (i) constitutes continuing collateral security
for all of the Secured Obligations, whether now existing or hereafter arising
and (ii) is not to be construed as an assignment of any Copyrights, Copyright

interest in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the holders of

or other instruments as the Administrative Agent may from time to time deem
necessary or appropriate in order to perfect and maintain the security interests
granted hereunder in accordance with the UCC (including authorization to
describe the Collateral as “all personal property”, “all assets” or words of
similar meaning).

6.    Advances. On failure of any Obligor to perform any of the covenants and
agreements contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative
Agent may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, perform the same and
in so doing may expend such sums as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem
advisable in the performance thereof, including, without limitation, the payment
of any insurance premiums, the payment of any taxes, a payment to obtain a
release of a Lien or potential Lien, expenditures made in defending against any
adverse claim and all other expenditures which the Administrative Agent may make
for the protection of the security hereof or which may be compelled to make by
operation of Law. All such sums and amounts so expended shall be repayable by
the Obligors on a joint and several basis promptly upon timely notice thereof
and demand therefor, shall constitute additional Secured Obligations and shall
bear interest from the date said amounts are expended at the Default Rate. No
such performance of any covenant or agreement by the Administrative Agent on
behalf of any Obligor, and no such advance or expenditure therefor, shall
relieve the Obligors of any Default or Event of Default. The Administrative
Agent may make any payment hereby authorized in accordance with any bill,
statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of
the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill,
statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale,
forfeiture, tax lien, title or claim except to the extent such payment is being
contested in good faith by an Obligor in appropriate proceedings and against
which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.

7.    Remedies.

(a)    General Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during
continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent shall have, in addition to the
rights and remedies provided herein, in the Loan Documents, in any other
documents relating to the Secured Obligations, or by Law (including, but not
limited to, levy of attachment, garnishment and the rights and remedies set
forth in the UCC of the jurisdiction applicable to the affected Collateral), the
rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (regardless of whether the
UCC is the law of the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted
and regardless of whether the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and
further, the Administrative Agent may, with or without judicial process or the
aid and assistance of others, (i) upon reasonable notice to the applicable
Obligor, enter on any premises on which any of the Collateral may be located
and, without resistance or interference by the Obligors, take possession of the
Collateral, (ii) dispose of any Collateral on any such premises, (iii) require
the Obligors to assemble and make available to the Administrative Agent at the
expense of the Obligors any Collateral at any place and time designated by the
Administrative Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties, (iv) remove
any Collateral from any such premises for the purpose of effecting sale or other
disposition thereof, and/or (v) without demand and without advertisement,
notice, hearing or process of law, all of which each of the Obligors hereby
waives to the fullest extent permitted by Law, at any place and time or times,
sell and deliver any or all Collateral held by or for it at public or private
sale (which in the case of a private sale of Pledged Equity, shall

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

be to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated 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), at any exchange or
broker’s board or elsewhere, by one or more contracts, in one or more parcels,
for Money, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the
Administrative Agent deems advisable, in its sole discretion (subject to any and
all mandatory legal requirements). Each Obligor acknowledges that any such
private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the
prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and,
notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such private sale shall be deemed to
have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and, in the case of a sale of
Pledged Equity, that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to delay
sale of any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit the
issuer of such securities to register such securities for public sale under the
Securities Act of 1933. Neither the Administrative Agent’s compliance with
applicable Law nor its disclaimer of warranties relating to the Collateral shall
be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale. To
the extent the rights of notice cannot be legally waived hereunder, each Obligor
agrees that any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice,
specifying the place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale
is to be made, is personally served on or mailed, postage prepaid, to the
Borrower in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 11.02 of the Credit
Agreement at least 10 days before the time of sale or other event giving rise to
the requirement of such notice. The Administrative 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 Obligor further acknowledges and agrees
that any offer to sell any Pledged Equity which has been (i) publicly advertised
on a bona fide basis in a newspaper or other publication of general circulation
in the financial community of New York, New York (to the extent that such offer
may be advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933),
or (ii) made privately in the manner described above shall be deemed to involve
a “public sale” under the UCC, notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute
a “public offering” under the Securities Act of 1933, and the Administrative
Agent may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such securities. The
Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other
disposition of the Collateral regardless of notice having been given. To the
extent permitted by applicable Law, any holder of Secured Obligations may be a
purchaser at any such sale. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each of
the Obligors hereby waives all of its rights of redemption with respect to any
such sale. Subject to the provisions of applicable Law, the Administrative Agent
may postpone or cause the postponement of the sale of all or any portion of the
Collateral by announcement at the time and place of such sale, and such sale
may, without further notice, to the extent permitted by Law, be made at the time
and place to which the sale was postponed, or the Administrative Agent may
further postpone such sale by announcement made at such time and place.

(b)    Remedies relating to Accounts. During the continuation of an Event of
Default, whether or not the Administrative Agent has exercised any or all of its
rights and remedies hereunder, (i) each Obligor will promptly upon request of
the Administrative Agent instruct all account debtors to remit all payments in
respect of Accounts to a mailing location selected by the Administrative Agent
and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to enforce any Obligor’s
rights against its customers and account debtors, and the Administrative Agent
or its designee may notify any Obligor’s customers and account debtors that the
Accounts of such Obligor have been assigned to the Administrative Agent or of
the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein, and may (either in its own
name or in the name of an Obligor or both) demand, collect (including without
limitation by way of a lockbox arrangement), receive, take receipt for, sell,
sue for, compound, settle, compromise and give acquittance for any and all
amounts due or to become due on any Account,

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

and, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, file any claim or take any other
action or proceeding to protect and realize upon the security interest of the
holders of the Secured Obligations in the Accounts. Each Obligor acknowledges
and agrees that the Proceeds of its Accounts remitted to or on behalf of the
Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be solely
for the Administrative Agent’s own convenience and that such Obligor shall not
have any right, title or interest in such Accounts or in any such other amounts
except as expressly provided herein. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the
holders of the Secured Obligations shall have any liability or responsibility to
any Obligor for acceptance of a check, draft or other order for payment of money

require in connection with such test verifications, (ii) upon the Administrative
Agent’s request and at the expense of the Obligors, the Obligors shall cause
independent public accountants or others satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent to furnish to the Administrative Agent reports showing reconciliations,
aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Accounts and (iii)
the Administrative Agent in its own name or in the name of others may
communicate with account debtors on the Accounts to verify with them to the
Administrative Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any
Accounts.

(c)    Deposit Accounts. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during
continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent may prevent withdrawals or other
dispositions of funds in Deposit Accounts (other than (i) accounts used solely
for payroll or related employee benefits or withholding taxes and (ii) trust
accounts maintained solely for the benefit of unrelated persons) maintained with
the Administrative Agent.        

(d)    Access. In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the
Administrative Agent shall have the right to enter and remain upon the various
premises of the Obligors without cost or charge to the Administrative Agent, and
use the same, together with materials, supplies, books and records of the
Obligors for the purpose of collecting and liquidating the Collateral, or for
preparing for sale and conducting the sale of the Collateral, whether by
foreclosure, auction or otherwise. In addition, the Administrative Agent may
remove Collateral, or any part thereof, from such premises and/or any records
with respect thereto, in order to effectively collect or liquidate such
Collateral.

(e)    Nonexclusive Nature of Remedies. Failure by the Administrative Agent or
the holders of the Secured Obligations to exercise any right, remedy or option
under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any other document relating to
the Secured Obligations, or as provided by Law, or any delay by the
Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations in exercising the
same, shall not operate as a waiver of any such right, remedy or option. No
waiver hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the party
against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced and then only to the extent
specifically stated, which in the case of the Administrative Agent or the
holders of the Secured Obligations shall only be granted as provided herein. To
the extent permitted by Law, neither the Administrative Agent, the holders of
the Secured Obligations, nor any party acting as attorney for the Administrative
Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations, shall be liable hereunder for
any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law
other than their gross negligence or willful misconduct hereunder. The rights
and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the holders of the Secured
Obligations under

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

this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or
remedy which the Administrative Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations
may have.

(f)    Retention of Collateral. In addition to the rights and remedies
hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in compliance with Sections 9-620 and
9-621 of the UCC or otherwise complying with the requirements of applicable Law
of the relevant jurisdiction, accept or retain the Collateral in satisfaction of
the Secured Obligations. Unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have
provided such notices, however, the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to
have retained any Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any
reason.

(g)    Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection or
realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Administrative
Agent or the holders of the Secured Obligations are legally entitled, the
Obligors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency, together with
interest thereon at the Default Rate, together with the costs of collection and
the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel. Any surplus remaining after the
full payment and satisfaction of the Secured Obligations shall be returned to
the Obligors or to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine
to be entitled thereto.

8.    Rights of the Administrative Agent.

(a)    Power of Attorney. In addition to other powers of attorney contained
herein, each Obligor hereby designates and appoints the Administrative Agent, on
behalf of the holders of the Secured Obligations, and each of its designees or
agents, as attorney-in-fact of such Obligor, irrevocably and with power of
substitution, with authority to take any or all of the following actions upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i)    to demand, collect, settle, compromise, adjust, give discharges and
releases, all as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine;

(ii)    to commence and prosecute any actions at any court for the purposes of
collecting any Collateral and enforcing any other right in respect thereof;

(iii)    to defend, settle or compromise any action brought and, in connection
therewith, give such discharge or release as the Administrative Agent may deem
reasonably appropriate;

(iv)    receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to an Obligor and endorse
checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, bills of lading, warehouse
receipts or other instruments or documents evidencing payment, shipment or
storage of the goods giving rise to the Collateral of such Obligor on behalf of
and in the name of such Obligor, or securing, or relating to such Collateral;

(v)    sell, assign, transfer, make any agreement in respect of, or otherwise
deal with or exercise rights in respect of, any Collateral or the goods or
services which have given rise thereto, as fully and completely as though the
Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes;

(vi)    adjust and settle claims under any insurance policy relating thereto;

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

(vii)    execute and deliver all assignments, conveyances, statements, financing
statements, renewal financing statements, security agreements, affidavits,
notices and other agreements, instruments and documents that the Administrative
Agent may determine necessary in order to perfect and maintain the security
interests and liens granted in this Agreement and in order to fully consummate
all of the transactions contemplated therein;

(viii)    institute any foreclosure proceedings that the Administrative Agent
may deem appropriate;

(ix)    to sign and endorse any drafts, assignments, proxies, stock powers,
verifications, notices and other documents relating to the Collateral;

(x)    subject to delivery of notice by the Administrative Agent as provided in
clause (e)(ii) below, to exchange any of the Pledged Equity or other property
upon any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other
readjustment of the issuer thereof and, in connection therewith, deposit any of
the Pledged Equity with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or
other designated agency upon such terms as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably deem appropriate;

(xi)    subject to delivery of notice by the Administrative Agent as provided in
clause (e)(ii) below, to vote for a shareholder resolution, or to sign an
instrument in writing, sanctioning the transfer of any or all of the Pledged
Equity into the name of the Administrative Agent or one or more of the holders
of the Secured Obligations or into the name of any transferee to whom the
Pledged Equity or any part thereof may be sold pursuant to Section 7 hereof;

(xii)    to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other
encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral;

(xiii)    to direct any parties liable for any payment in connection with any of
the Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due and to become due
thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent
shall direct;

(xiv)    to receive payment of and receipt for any and all monies, claims, and
other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of
any Collateral; and

(xv)    do and perform all such other acts and things as the Administrative
Agent may reasonably deem to be necessary, proper or convenient in connection
with the Collateral.

This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be
irrevocable until such time as the Secured Obligations arising under the Loan
Documents have been paid in full and the Commitments have expired or been
terminated. The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to exercise or
withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges and options
expressly or implicitly granted to the Administrative Agent in this Agreement,
and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. The
Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any
error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or
its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its
gross negligence or willful

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

misconduct. This power of attorney is conferred on the Administrative Agent
solely to protect, preserve and realize upon its security interest in the
Collateral.

(b)    Assignment by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may from
time to time assign the Secured Obligations to a successor Administrative Agent
appointed in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and such successor shall be
entitled to all of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent under
this Agreement in relation thereto.

(c)    The Administrative Agent’s Duty of Care. Other than the exercise of
reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Collateral while being held by
the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty
or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and
agreed that the Obligors shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in
the Collateral, and the Administrative Agent shall be relieved of all
responsibility for the Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the
surrender of it to the Obligors. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to
have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral
in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to
that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property, which shall be no
less than the treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in the
industry, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have
responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any
parties with respect to any of the Collateral. In the event of a public or
private sale of Collateral pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the Administrative
Agent shall have no responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with
respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters
relating to any Collateral, whether or not the Administrative Agent has or is
deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any steps to clean,
repair or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.
        
(d)    Liability with Respect to Accounts. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, each of the Obligors shall remain liable under each of the
Accounts to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be
observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any
agreement giving rise to each such Account. Neither the Administrative Agent nor
any holder of Secured Obligations shall have any obligation or liability under
any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out
of this Agreement or the receipt by the Administrative Agent or any holder of
Secured Obligations of any payment relating to such Account pursuant hereto, nor
shall the Administrative Agent or any holder of Secured Obligations be obligated
in any manner to perform any of the obligations of an Obligor under or pursuant
to any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to
make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by
it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Account
(or any agreement giving rise thereto), to present or file any claim, to take
any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts
which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or
times.
    
(e)    Voting and Payment Rights in Respect of the Pledged Equity.

(i)    So long as no Event of Default shall exist, each Obligor may (A) exercise
any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity
of such Obligor or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the
terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement and (B) receive and retain any
and all dividends (other than stock dividends and other dividends constituting
Collateral which are addressed hereinabove),

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

principal or interest paid in respect of the Pledged Equity to the extent they
are allowed under the Credit Agreement; and

(ii)    During the continuance of an Event of Default, (A) upon prior written
notice from the Administrative Agent to the applicable Obligor, all rights of an
Obligor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would
otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (i)(A) above shall cease
and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent
which shall then have the sole right to exercise such voting and other
consensual rights, (B) all rights of an Obligor to receive the dividends,
principal and interest payments which it would otherwise be authorized to
receive and retain pursuant to clause (i)(B) above shall cease and all such
rights shall thereupon be vested in the Administrative Agent which shall then
have the sole right to receive and hold as Collateral such dividends, principal
and interest payments, and (C) all dividends, principal and interest payments
which are received by an Obligor contrary to the provisions of clause (ii)(B)
above shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent,
shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Obligor, and shall be
forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent as Collateral in the exact form
received, to be held by the Administrative Agent as Collateral and as further
collateral security for the Secured Obligations.

(f)    Releases of Collateral. (i) If any Collateral shall be sold, transferred
or otherwise disposed of by any Obligor in a transaction permitted by the Credit
Agreement, then the Administrative Agent, at the request and sole expense of
such Obligor, shall promptly execute and deliver to such Obligor all releases
and other documents, and take such other action, reasonably necessary for the
release of the Liens created hereby or by any other Collateral Document on such
Collateral. (ii) The Administrative Agent may release any of the Pledged Equity
from this Agreement or may substitute any of the Pledged Equity for other
Pledged Equity without altering, varying or diminishing in any way the force,
effect, lien, pledge or security interest of this Agreement as to any Pledged
Equity not expressly released or substituted, and this Agreement shall continue
as a first priority lien on all Pledged Equity not expressly released or
substituted.

9.    Application of Proceeds. Upon the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant
to Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement, any payments in respect of the Secured
Obligations and any proceeds of the Collateral, when received by the
Administrative Agent or any holder of the Secured Obligations in Money, will be
applied in reduction of the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in
Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement.
    
10.    Continuing Agreement.

(a)    This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until such time as
the Secured Obligations arising under the Loan Documents have been paid in full
and the Commitments have expired or been terminated, at which time this
Agreement shall be automatically terminated and the Administrative Agent shall,
upon the request and at the expense of the Obligors, forthwith release all of
its liens and security interests hereunder and shall execute and deliver all UCC
termination statements and/or other documents reasonably requested by the
Obligors evidencing such termination.

(b)    This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be automatically
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of
any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded

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

or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any
holder of the Secured Obligations as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or
otherwise under any Debtor Relief Law, all as though such payment had not been
made; provided that in the event payment of all or any part of the Secured
Obligations is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all reasonable costs
and expenses (including without limitation any reasonable legal fees and
disbursements) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any holder of the Secured
Obligations in defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed to be
included as a part of the Secured Obligations.

11.    Amendments; Waivers; Modifications, etc. This Agreement and the
provisions hereof may not be amended, waived, modified, changed, discharged or
terminated except as set forth in Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement;
provided that any update or revision to Schedule 2(c) hereof delivered by any
Obligor shall not constitute an amendment for purposes of this Section 11 or
Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement.

12.    Successors in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon each
Obligor, its successors and assigns and shall inure, together with the rights
and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the holders of the Secured

Agreement shall be in conformance with Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement.

Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as an
original.

15.    Headings. The headings of the sections hereof are provided for
convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of
any provision of this Agreement.

16.    Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
The terms of Sections 11.14 and 11.15 of the Credit Agreement with respect to
governing law, submission to jurisdiction, venue and waiver of jury trial are
incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree
to such terms.

17.    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and
the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and shall be
construed without giving effect to the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions.

18.    Entirety. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other
documents relating to the Secured Obligations represent the entire agreement of
the parties hereto and thereto, and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings, oral or written, if any, including any commitment letters or
correspondence relating to the Loan Documents, any other documents relating to
the Secured Obligations, or the transactions contemplated herein and therein.

19.    Other Security. To the extent that any of the Secured Obligations are now
or hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral (including, without
limitation, real property and securities owned by an Obligor), or by a
guarantee, endorsement or property of any other Person, then the Administrative

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

Agent shall have the right to proceed against such other property, guarantee or
endorsement upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and the Administrative
Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine which rights,
security, liens, security interests or remedies the Administrative Agent shall
at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take with respect

Obligations or any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the holders of
the Secured Obligations under this Agreement, under any other of the Loan
Documents or under any other document relating to the Secured Obligations.

20.    Joinder. At any time after the date of this Agreement, one or more

all of the rights and obligations of an Obligor hereunder and this Agreement and
the schedules hereto shall be deemed amended by such Joinder Agreement.

21.    Rights of Required Lenders. All rights of the Administrative Agent
hereunder, if not exercised by the Administrative Agent, may be exercised by the
Required Lenders.
    
22.    Consent of Issuers of Pledged Equity. Each issuer of Pledged Equity party
