be requested by the Collateral Agent to perfect the security interest of the
Collateral Agent in the Pledged Collateral, including, without limitation, with
respect to all Pledged Collateral over which control may be obtained within the
meaning of Section 8-106 of the UCC, all actions as may reasonably be requested
from time to time by the Collateral Agent so that control of such Pledged
Collateral is obtained and at all times held by the Collateral Agent (or the

foregoing shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgor.

Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) as follows:

(a) The Pledged Equity Interests and Pledged Debt have been duly authorized and
validly issued, and are fully paid and non-assessable and subject to no options
to purchase or similar rights. All information set forth in Schedule 1 relating

(c) The pledge of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement creates a
valid and perfected second priority security interest in the Pledged Collateral,
securing the payment and performance when due of the Secured Obligations.

(d) The Pledgor has full power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Pledgor is party and to
pledge the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) Each of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Pledgor is
party has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Pledgor and
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Pledgor enforceable in
accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights
generally and subject to equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement
is sought in equity or at law).

(f) No authorization, approval, or other action by, and no notice to or filing
with, any governmental authority, regulatory body or any other entity is
required for the pledge by the Pledgor of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to
this Agreement or for the execution and delivery by the Pledgor of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents to which the Pledgor is party or the
performance by the Pledgor of its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

(g) The execution and delivery by the Pledgor of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents to which the Pledgor is party, and the performance by the Pledgor
of its obligations hereunder and thereunder, will not violate any provision of
any applicable law or regulation or any order, judgment, writ, award or decree
of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority, domestic or foreign,
applicable to the Pledgor or any of its property, or the organizational or
governing documents of the Pledgor or any agreement or instrument to which the
Pledgor is party or by which it or its property is bound.

(h) The Pledgor has taken all action required on its part for control (as
defined in Section 8-106 of the UCC) to have been obtained by the Collateral
Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) or the Senior Agent as the
Collateral Agent’s bailee for perfection over all Pledged Collateral with
respect to which such control may be obtained pursuant to the UCC. No Person
other than the Collateral Agent (acting for the benefit of Secured Parties) or
the Senior Agent as the Collateral Agent’s bailee for perfection has control or
possession of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral. Without limiting the
foregoing, all certificates, agreements or instruments representing or
evidencing the Pledged Collateral in existence on the date hereof have been
delivered to the Collateral Agent or the Senior Agent as the Collateral Agent’s
bailee for perfection in suitable form for transfer by delivery or accompanied
by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank.  With respect
to any Pledged Equity Interest that is an uncertificated security, the Pledgor
has caused the issuer thereof either (i) to register the Collateral Agent or the
Senior Agent as the Collateral Agent’s bailee for perfection as the registered
owner of such security or (ii) to agree in an authenticated record with the
Pledgor and the Collateral Agent or the Senior Agent as the Collateral Agent’s
bailee for perfection that such issuer will comply with instructions with
respect to such security originated by the Collateral Agent or the Senior Agent
as the Collateral Agent’s bailee for perfection without further consent of the
Pledgor.

(i) The Pledgor’s exact legal name, as defined in Section 9-503(a) of the UCC,
is correctly set forth in Schedule 2 and the Pledgor has only the trade names
listed on Schedule 2. The Pledgor is located (within the meaning of Section
9-307 of the UCC) and has its chief executive office in the state or
jurisdiction set forth in Schedule 2.  The information set forth in Schedule 2
is true and accurate in all respects. In the last five (5) years,  the

identification number from those set forth in Part A of Schedule 2 hereto, other
than as disclosed in Part B thereof.

6. Distributions and Voting Rights.

(a) The Collateral Agent agrees that unless an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Pledgor may, to the extent the Pledgor has such
right as a holder of the Pledged Collateral, vote and give consents,
ratifications and waivers with respect thereto, except to the extent that any
such vote, consent, ratification or waiver could detract from the value thereof
as Pledged Collateral or which could be inconsistent with or result in any
violation of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The
Pledgor will exercise its rights (voting or otherwise) with respect to the
Pledged Collateral to ensure performance by the Pledgor and each of the other
Loan Parties of their obligations under the Loan Documents.

(b) To the extent permitted by the terms of the other Loan Documents and the
Senior Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent agrees that the Pledgor may receive
and retain all dividends and other distributions with respect to the Pledged
Collateral.

7. Further Assurances.

(a) The Pledgor shall, at its own cost and expense, defend title to the Pledged
Collateral and the second priority Lien of the Collateral Agent therein against
the claim of any Person claiming against or through the Pledgor and shall
maintain and preserve such perfected second priority Lien until such Lien is
terminated and released in accordance with Section 18.

(b) The Pledgor agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of
the Pledgor, the Pledgor will promptly execute and deliver all further
instruments and documents that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, make
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such agreements from third parties,
and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the
Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any
security interest granted hereby or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise
and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder or under any other agreement with
respect to any Pledged Collateral.

(c) The Pledgor will not, without providing at least 10 days’ prior written
notice to the Collateral Agent, change its legal name, identity, type of
organization, jurisdiction of organization, corporate structure, location of its
chief executive office or its principal place of business or its organizational
identification number. The Pledgor will, prior to any change described in the
preceding sentence, take all actions reasonably requested by the Collateral
Agent to maintain the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security
interest in the Pledged Collateral.

8. Transfers and Other Liens.  The Pledgor agrees that it will not sell, offer
to sell, dispose of, convey, assign or otherwise transfer, grant any option with
respect to, restrict, or grant, create, permit or suffer to exist any Lien or
other restriction or limitation of any nature whatsoever on, any of the Pledged
Collateral or any interest therein except (a) as expressly provided for herein,
(b) Liens for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties pursuant to the Senior
Loan Documents or (c) with the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent
(acting at the direction of Majority Lenders).

9. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Pledgor hereby appoints the
Collateral Agent as the Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the
place and stead of the Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor or otherwise, from
time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion to take any action and to
execute any instrument which the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary
or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made payable to the
Pledgor representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in
respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge
for the same (but the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to and shall have
no liability to the Pledgor or any third party for failure to do so or take
action). Such appointment, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable,
until (subject to reinstatement as provided in the last sentence of Section 17)
the security interest granted herein is terminated and released in accordance
with Section 18 hereof; provided, that the Collateral Agent shall not exercise
its rights as attorney-in-fact prior to the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default without first providing the Pledgor written
notice of such action and a reasonable opportunity to take such action. The
Pledgor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be
done by virtue hereof.

10. Collateral Agent May Perform. If the Pledgor fails to perform any obligation
contained in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause
performance of, such obligation (provided that the Collateral Agent shall not
perform such obligations prior to the occurrence of an ongoing Event of Default
without first providing the Pledgor written notice of such failure and (as
determined by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion) a reasonable
opportunity to perform such obligation), and the expenses of the Collateral
Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Pledgor; provided
that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to perform or discharge any
obligation of the Pledgor.

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

 

11. Reasonable Care. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty with respect to the
care and preservation of the Pledged Collateral beyond the exercise of
reasonable care. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its
possession if the Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal
to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property, it being understood
that the Collateral Agent shall not have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining
or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities,
tenders or other matters relative to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not the
Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b)
taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect
to any Pledged Collateral. Nothing set forth in this Agreement, nor the exercise
by the Collateral Agent of any of the rights and remedies hereunder, shall
relieve the Pledgor from the performance of any obligation on the Pledgor’s part
to be performed or observed in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral.

12. Remedies Upon Default. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing:

(a) The Collateral Agent may, without any other notice to or demand upon the
Pledgor, assert all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or
other applicable law, including, without limitation, the right to take
possession of, hold, collect, sell, lease, deliver, grant options to purchase or
otherwise retain, liquidate or dispose of all or any portion of the Pledged
Collateral. If notice prior to disposition of the Pledged Collateral or any
portion thereof is necessary under applicable law, written notice mailed to the
Pledgor at its notice address as provided in Section 16 hereof ten (10) days
prior to the date of such disposition shall constitute reasonable notice. So
long as the sale of the Pledged Collateral is made in a commercially reasonable
manner, the Collateral Agent may sell such Pledged Collateral on such terms and
to such purchaser(s) as the Collateral Agent in its absolute discretion may
choose, without assuming any credit risk and without any obligation to advertise
or give notice of any kind other than that necessary under applicable law.
Without precluding any other methods of sale, the sale of the Pledged Collateral
or any portion thereof shall have been made in a commercially reasonable manner
if conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of creditors
disposing of similar property. At any sale of the Pledged Collateral, if
permitted by applicable law, the Collateral Agent may be the purchaser,
licensee, assignee or recipient of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof
and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or
payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral
sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured
Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Pledged
Collateral or any part thereof payable at such sale. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, the Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands it may
acquire against the Collateral Agent arising out of the exercise by it of any
rights hereunder. The Pledgor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent
permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Pledged
Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of
marshalling the Pledged Collateral and any other security for the Secured
Obligations or otherwise. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law,
the Collateral Agent or any custodian may bid for and purchase all or any part
of the Pledged Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of
redemption. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any custodian shall be liable for
failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Pledged Collateral or for
any delay in so doing, nor shall it be under any obligation

to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. The Collateral Agent shall
not be obligated to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Pledged Collateral for
sale.

(b) All rights of the Pledgor to (i) exercise the voting and other consensual
rights it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 6(a), and
(ii) receive the dividends and other distributions which it would otherwise be
entitled to receive and retain pursuant to Section 6(b) shall immediately cease,
and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which
shall have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights
and receive and hold such dividends and other distributions as Pledged
Collateral.

(c) Any cash held by the Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral and all cash
Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection
from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral shall
be applied in whole or in part by the Collateral Agent to the payment of
expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the foregoing or
incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Pledged Collateral or in any
way relating to the Pledged Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Agent
hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the balance of such
proceeds shall be applied or set off against all or any part of the Secured
Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents. Any surplus of such cash or
cash Proceeds held by the Collateral Agent and remaining after payment in full
of all the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the Pledgor or to
whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. The Pledgor shall
remain liable for any deficiency if such cash and the cash Proceeds of any sale
or other realization of the Pledged Collateral are insufficient to pay the
Secured Obligations and the fees and other charges of any attorneys employed by
the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.

(d) If the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its rights to sell all
or any of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section, the Pledgor agrees
that, upon request of the Collateral Agent, the Pledgor will, at its own
expense, do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary to
make such sale of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding
and in compliance with applicable law.

13. No Waiver and Cumulative Remedies. The Collateral Agent shall not by any act
(except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 15), delay, indulgence,
omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or
to have acquiesced in any Event of Default. All rights and remedies herein
provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided
by law.

14. Security Interest Absolute. The Pledgor hereby waives demand, notice,
protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans made, credit
extended, Pledged Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in
reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. All rights
of the Collateral Agent and Liens hereunder, and all Secured Obligations of the
Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a) any illegality or lack of validity or enforceability of any Secured
Obligation or any related agreement or instrument;

(b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term
of, the Secured Obligations, or any rescission, waiver, amendment or other
modification of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement,
including any increase in the Secured Obligations resulting from any extension
of additional credit or otherwise;

(c) any taking, exchange, substitution, release, impairment or non-perfection of
any Pledged Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release,
impairment, amendment, waiver or other modification of any guaranty, for all or
any of the Secured Obligations;

(d) any manner of sale, disposition or application of proceeds of any Pledged
Collateral or any other collateral or other assets to all or part of the Secured
Obligations;

the Secured Obligations;

(f) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or
performance) that may at any time be available to, or be asserted by, the
Pledgor against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party; or

(g) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of
limitations) or manner of administering the Secured Obligations or any existence
of or reliance on any representation by the Collateral Agent that might vary the
risk of the Pledgor or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal
or equitable discharge of, the Pledgor or any other grantor, guarantor or
surety.

15. Amendments. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be
amended, modified, supplemented, terminated or waived, and no consent to any
departure by the Pledgor therefrom shall be effective, unless the same shall be
in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent and the Pledgor, and then such
amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given.

16. Notices.  All notices and other communications required or permitted under
this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be conclusively deemed to have been

remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby
and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic
effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

21. Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or
supplements hereto may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties
hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original,
but all taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or in
electronic format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement.

22. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire contract among the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all previous
agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect thereto.
