4.                                      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  Each
Debtor represents and warrants to Collateral Agent and each Beneficiary as of
the Issue Date that:

 

6

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

 

(a)                                 Binding Obligation/Perfection.  This
Security Agreement creates a legal, valid, and binding Lien in and to the
Collateral of such Debtor in favor of Collateral Agent and enforceable against
such Debtor, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to
general principals of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law.  For Collateral in which the Security Interest may be
perfected by the filing of financing statements, once financing statements have
been properly filed in the jurisdictions described on Annex A hereto, the
Security Interest in that Collateral will be fully perfected and the Security
Interest will constitute a third-priority Lien on such Collateral, subject in
priority only to the Priority Lien and the Second Lien pursuant to the
Intercreditor Agreement and the Permitted Liens.  None of the Collateral has
been delivered to, nor has control with respect thereto been given to, any other
Person (other than pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement).  Other than the
financing statements with respect to this Security Agreement, there are no other
financing statements or control agreements covering any Collateral, other than
those evidencing Permitted Liens.  The creation of the Security Interest does
not require the consent of any Person that has not been obtained.

 

(b)                                 Debtor Information.  Such Debtor’s exact
legal name, mailing address, jurisdiction of organization, type of entity, and
state issued organizational identification number are as set forth on Annex A
hereto.  Such Debtor’s place of business and chief executive office is where
such Debtor is entitled to receive notices hereunder; the present and
foreseeable location of such Debtor’s books and records concerning any of the
Collateral is as set forth on Annex A hereto.

 

(c)                                  Liens.  Such Debtor owns all currently
existing Collateral pledged by such Debtor, and will acquire all
hereafter-acquired Collateral, free and clear of all Liens, except Permitted
Liens.

 

(d)                                 Governmental Authority.  No authorization,
approval, or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental
Authority is required either (i) for the pledge by such Debtor of the Collateral
pursuant to this Security Agreement or for the execution, delivery, or
performance of this Security Agreement by such Debtor, or (ii) for the exercise
by Collateral Agent of the voting or other Rights provided for in this Security
Agreement or the remedies in respect of the Collateral pursuant to this Security
Agreement, except (1) as may be required in connection with the disposition of
the Pledged Securities by Laws affecting the offering and sale of securities
generally, (2) those consents to assignment of licenses, permits, approvals, and
other rights that are as a matter of Law not assignable, (3) those
authorizations, approvals, actions, notices or filings that have been duly
obtained or made and, in the case of the maintenance of perfection, the filing
of continuation statements under the UCC, and (4) those filings and actions
described in Paragraph 4(a).

 

(e)                                  Pledged Securities; Pledged Shares.  All
Collateral of such Debtor that is Pledged Shares is duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid, and non-assessable, and the transfer thereof is not subject
to any restrictions, other than restrictions imposed by applicable securities
and corporate Laws or set forth in the applicable Organization Documents. 
Annex B contains an accurate description as of the Issue Date of the Equity
Interests owned by such Debtor.  Such Debtor has good title to the Pledged
Securities of such Debtor, free and clear of all Liens and encumbrances thereon
(except for Liens permitted by clauses (1), (10) and (15) of the definition

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

 

of “Permitted Liens” in the Indenture), and has delivered to Priority Lien
Collateral Agent or, after the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, the
Second Lien Collateral Agent or, after the Discharge of Priority Lien
Obligations and the Discharge of Second Lien Obligations, the Collateral Agent,
(i) all stock certificates, or other instruments or documents representing or
evidencing such Pledged Securities, together with corresponding assignment or
transfer powers duly executed in blank by such Debtor, and such powers have been
duly and validly executed and are binding and enforceable against such Debtor in
accordance with their terms and (ii) to the extent such Pledged Securities are
uncertificated and constitute securities for purposes of Article 8 of the UCC,
or if otherwise required by the Priority Lien Collateral Agent or, after the
Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or,
after the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations and the Discharge of Second
Lien Obligations, the Collateral Agent, an executed Acknowledgment of Pledge
substantially in the form of Annex C.  The pledge of the Pledged Securities
owned by such Debtor in accordance with the terms hereof creates a valid and
perfected third-priority Lien on such Collateral, subject only to Liens
permitted by clauses (1), (10) and (15) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”
in the Indenture and subject in priority only to the Priority Lien and the
Second Lien pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement.  In the event an
uncertificated Pledged Security is hereafter certificated, Debtor shall promptly
thereafter, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, deliver the certificate with
an undated executed irrevocable stock power and such other documents which are
or may reasonably be necessary, or as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
request at the direction of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding, in order to create, evidence, perfect, continue, and
preserve the priority of the Security Interest in such Collateral.  Debtor shall
not permit an uncertificated Pledged Security to constitute a “security” under
Article 8 of the UCC unless Debtor has delivered to Collateral Agent a fully
executed Acknowledgment of Pledge substantially in the form of Annex C.
Collateral Agent agrees that it shall not deliver instructions or make any
demand under any Acknowledgment of Pledge unless an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing.

 

(f)                                   Equity Interests. Each Issuer listed on
Annex B is duly organized, currently existing, and in good standing under all
applicable Laws; there have been no amendments, modifications, or supplements to
any agreement or certificate creating any such Issuer that in any way adversely
affect the perfection of the security interest of Collateral Agent in the Equity
Interests pledged by such Debtor hereunder; and no approval or consent of the
partners of any such Issuer is required as a condition to the validity and
enforceability of the Security Interest created hereby or the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby that has not been duly obtained by the
relevant Debtor.  Each Debtor has good title to the Equity Interests owned by
such Debtor free and clear of all Liens and encumbrances (except for Liens
permitted by clauses (1), (10) and (15) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”
in the Indenture).  The Equity Interests owned by such Debtor are validly
issued, fully paid, and nonassessable and are not subject to statutory,
contractual, or other restrictions governing their transfer, ownership, or
control, except as set forth in the applicable bylaws, limited liability company
agreements or partnership agreement or applicable securities Laws.  All capital
contributions required to be made by the terms of applicable bylaws, limited
liability company agreement or partnership agreements for each Issuer have been
made, except where failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral. In the event an
uncertificated Equity Interest is hereafter certificated, Debtor shall promptly
thereafter deliver the certificate with an undated executed irrevocable stock
power and such other documents

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

 

which are or may reasonably be necessary, or as the Collateral Agent may
reasonably request at the direction of the holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding, in order to create, evidence, perfect,
continue, and preserve the priority of the Security Interest in such
Collateral.  Debtor shall not permit an uncertificated Equity Interest to
constitute a “security” under Article 8 of the UCC unless Debtor has delivered
to Collateral Agent a fully executed Acknowledgment of Pledge substantially in
the form of Annex C. Collateral Agent agrees that it shall not deliver
instructions or make any demand under any Acknowledgment of Pledge unless an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

(g)                                  Deposit Accounts, Securities
Accounts, etc.  Annex D sets forth under the appropriate headings all of such
Debtor’s: (1) securities accounts and (2) deposit accounts maintained by such
Debtor on the Issue Date other than Excluded Accounts.

 

5.                                      COVENANTS.  Until the Discharge of Third
Lien Obligations, each Debtor covenants and agrees with Collateral Agent that
such Debtor will:

 

(a)                                 Information/Record of Collateral.  Maintain
a current record of where all Collateral of such Debtor is located.

 

(b)                                 Perform Obligations.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) such Debtor shall remain liable
under the contracts, agreements, documents, and instruments included in the
Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and
obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Security Agreement had not
been executed, (ii) the exercise by Collateral Agent of any of its rights or
remedies hereunder shall not release such Debtor from any of its duties or
obligations under the contracts, agreements, documents, and instruments included
in the Collateral, and (iii) Collateral Agent shall not have any indebtedness,
liability, or obligation under any of the contracts, agreements, documents, and
instruments included in the Collateral by reason of this Security Agreement, and
Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to perform any of the obligations or
duties of such Debtor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any
claim for payment assigned hereunder.

 

(c)                                  Annexes; Notices.  (i) As soon as
reasonably possible, update all annexes hereto of such Debtor if any information
therein shall become inaccurate or incomplete; provided, that notwithstanding
any other provision herein, such Debtor’s failure to describe any Collateral
required to be listed on any annex hereto shall not impair Collateral Agent’s
Security Interest in the Collateral; (ii) promptly notify Collateral Agent of
the occurrence of any event(s) or condition(s) (including, without limitation,
matters as to Lien priority, except with respect to the priority of Permitted
Liens) that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on
the aggregate value of the Collateral or on the security interest created
hereby; and (iii) give Collateral Agent ten (10) days written notice before (or
such other time period as may be agreed by Collateral Agent, acting at the
direction of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding) any proposed (A) relocation of its principal place of business or
chief executive office, (B) change of its name, identity, or corporate
structure, (C) relocation of the place where its books and records concerning
the Collateral are kept, (D) change of its jurisdiction of organization or
organizational identification number, as applicable.  Prior to making any of the
changes contemplated in clause (iii) preceding, such Debtor shall execute and
deliver all such additional documents and perform all additional acts as are
necessary or that

Agent all Collateral of the type described in this Paragraph (d), and (iii) upon
Collateral Agent’s request, mark any chattel paper, instruments, or documents
retained by such Debtor to state that they are assigned to Collateral Agent, and
(iv) upon Collateral Agent’s request, endorse each such instrument to the order

not impair the Security Interest thereon).

transfer, lease, charter or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part
thereof or any interest therein, or offer to do any of the foregoing, except as

shall defend the Collateral against, any Lien or other encumbrance on the
Collateral (other than Permitted Liens), and shall defend such Debtor’s rights
in the Collateral and Collateral Agent’s Security Interest in the Collateral
against the claims and demands of all Persons except those holding or claiming
Permitted Liens.  Such Debtor shall do nothing to impair the rights of
Collateral Agent in the Collateral.

 

(f)                                   Delivery of Chattel Paper and
Instruments.  During the continuance of an Event of Default, at the request of
Collateral Agent acting in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, deliver
all of such Debtor’s instruments and chattel paper to Collateral Agent, together
with corresponding endorsements duly executed by the relevant Debtor in favor of
Collateral Agent.

 

(g)                                  Further Assurances.  From time to time
promptly execute and deliver to Collateral Agent all such assignments,
certificates, supplemental documents, and financing statements, and do all other
acts or things which are or may reasonably be necessary, or as the Collateral
Agent may reasonably request at the direction of the holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, in order to create, evidence,
perfect, continue, and preserve the priority of the Security Interest and to
carry out the provisions of this Security Agreement; and pay all filing fees in
connection with any financing, continuation, or termination statement or other
instrument with respect to the Security Interests granted by such Debtor.

 

(h)                                 Securities.  (i) Except as permitted by the
Indenture, not sell, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option,
warrant, or other Right with respect to, any of the Pledged Securities owned by
it; (ii) to the extent any Issuer of any Pledged Securities is controlled by
such Debtor and/or its Subsidiaries, not permit such Issuer to issue any
additional shares of stock or other securities in addition to or in substitution
for such Pledged Securities, except issuances to any Debtor or any of their
respective Subsidiaries; (iii) pledge hereunder, immediately upon such Debtor’s
acquisition (directly or indirectly) thereof, any and all additional shares of
stock or other securities of each Subsidiary of such Debtor; and (iv) take any
actions which are or may reasonably be necessary, or as the Collateral Agent may
reasonably request at the direction of the holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding, to allow Collateral Agent to fully enforce
its Security Interest in the Pledged

 

10

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

 

Securities, including, without limitation, the filing of any claims with any
court, liquidator, trustee, custodian, receiver, or other like person or party.

 

(i)                                     Issuer and Equity Interests.  (i) Notify
Collateral Agent of the occurrence of any default or breach or event of default
under any contract or agreement creating or relating to the Issuer if such
default, breach or event of default would reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect or to have a material adverse effect on the aggregate
value of the Collateral or on the Security Interest created hereby; (ii) to the
extent any Issuer is controlled by such Debtor and/or its Subsidiaries, cause
such Issuer to refrain from granting any Equity Interests in addition to or in
substitution for the Equity Interests granted by the Issuer, except grants to
any Debtor or any of their respective Subsidiaries; (iii) pledge hereunder,
immediately upon such Debtor’s acquisition (directly or indirectly) thereof, any
and all additional Equity Interests of any Issuer granted to such Debtor; and
any and all additional shares of stock or other securities of each; (iv) deliver
to Collateral Agent a fully-executed Acknowledgment of Pledge, substantially in
the form of Annex C, with respect to any uncertificated Equity Interest that
constitutes a “security” under Article 8 of the UCC; and (v) take any actions
which are or may reasonably be necessary, or as the Collateral Agent may
reasonably request at the direction of the holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding, to allow Collateral Agent to fully enforce
its Security Interest in the Equity Interests, including, without limitation,
the filing of any claims with any court, liquidator, trustee, custodian,
receiver, or other like person or party. In the event an uncertificated Equity
Interest is hereafter certificated, Debtor shall promptly thereafter deliver the
certificate with an undated executed irrevocable stock power and such other
documents as Collateral Agent may require in connection therewith. Debtor shall
not permit an uncertificated Equity Interest to constitute a “security” under
Article 8 of the UCC unless Debtor has delivered to Collateral Agent a fully
executed Acknowledgment of Pledge substantially in the form of Annex C.

 

(j)                                    Deposit Accounts; Securities Accounts. 
With respect to any deposit accounts, securities accounts and security
entitlements included in the Collateral, each Debtor shall ensure that the
Collateral Agent has Control thereof, including that the Collateral Agent has
Control of the securities accounts and deposit accounts set forth on Annex D ,
(i) in the case of the deposit accounts, securities accounts and securities
entitlements of the Debtors as of the date hereof, within 60 days after the date
hereof (or as such period may be extended by the Credit Facility Agent but in no
event later than 90 days after the date hereof) and (ii) in the case of the
deposit accounts, securities accounts and securities entitlements of the Debtors
established or acquired after the date hereof, within 45 days after the date on
which such deposit accounts, securities accounts and security entitlements
constitute Collateral (or as such period may be extended by the Credit Facility
Agent but in no event later than 90 days after the date such deposit accounts,
securities accounts and security entitlements constitute Collateral).  With
respect to any securities accounts or securities entitlements, such Control
shall be accomplished by the Debtors causing the securities intermediary
maintaining such securities account or security entitlement to enter into an
agreement (including an agreement to which the Priority Lien Collateral Agent
and the Second Lien Collateral Agent are also parties) (i) pursuant to which the
securities intermediary shall agree to comply with Collateral Agent’s
entitlement orders without further consent by such Debtor and (ii) which shall
provide for activation of exclusive control only upon an Event of Default.  With
respect to any deposit account, each Debtor shall cause the depositary
institution maintaining such account to enter into an agreement (including an
agreement to which

 

11

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

 

the Priority Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent are also
parties) (i) pursuant to which the depository institution shall agree to comply
with Collateral Agent’s instructions with respect to disposition of funds in the
deposit account without further consent by such Debtor and (ii) which shall
provide for activation of exclusive control only upon an Event of Default.

 

6.                                      DEFAULT; REMEDIES.  If an Event of
Default exists, Collateral Agent may, at its election (but subject to the terms
and conditions of the Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement), exercise any
and all rights available to a secured party under the UCC, in addition to any
and all other rights afforded by the Note Documents, at Law, in equity, or
otherwise, including, without limitation, (a) requiring any and all Debtors to
assemble all or part of the Collateral and make it available to Collateral Agent
at a place to be designated by Collateral Agent, (b) surrendering any policies
of insurance on all or part of the Collateral and receiving and applying the
unearned premiums as a credit on the Secured Obligations, (c) applying by
appropriate judicial proceedings for appointment of a receiver for all or part
of the Collateral (and each Debtor hereby consents to any such appointment),
(d) applying to the Secured Obligations any cash held by Collateral Agent under
this Security Agreement, and (e) applying the balance from any deposit account
or instructing the bank at which any deposit account is maintained to pay the
balance of any deposit account to or for the benefit of Collateral Agent.

 

(a)                                 Notice.  Reasonable notification of the time
and place of any public sale of the Collateral, or reasonable notification of
the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of the
Collateral is to be made, shall be sent to the relevant Debtor and to any other
Person entitled to notice under the UCC; provided that, if any of the Collateral
threatens to decline speedily in value or is of the type customarily sold on a
recognized market, Collateral Agent may sell or otherwise dispose of the
Collateral without notification, advertisement, or other notice of any kind.  It
is agreed that notice sent or given not less than ten (10) days prior to the
taking of the action to which the notice relates is reasonable notification and
notice for the purposes of this subparagraph.

 

(b)                                 Condition of Collateral; Warranties. 
Collateral Agent has no obligation to clean up or otherwise prepare the
Collateral for sale.  Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving
any warranties as to the Collateral.  Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim
any warranties of title or the like.  This procedure will not be considered
adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

 

(c)                                  Sales of Pledged Securities.

 

(i)                                                 Each Debtor agrees that,
because of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), or any other Laws
or regulations, and for other reasons, there may be legal or practical
restrictions or limitations affecting Collateral Agent in any attempts to
dispose of certain portions of the Pledged Securities and for the enforcement of
its Rights.  For these reasons, Collateral Agent is hereby authorized by each
Debtor, but not obligated, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default, to sell all or any part of the Pledged Securities at private
sale, subject to investment letter or in any other manner that

 

12

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

 

will not require the Pledged Securities, or any part thereof, to be registered
in accordance with the Securities Act or any other Laws or regulations, at a
reasonable price at such private sale or other distribution in the manner
mentioned above. Each Debtor understands that Collateral Agent may in its
discretion approach a limited number of potential purchasers and that a sale
under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Pledged Securities, or
any part thereof, than would otherwise be obtainable if such Collateral were
either afforded to a larger number or potential purchasers, registered under the
Securities Act, or sold in the open market.  Each Debtor agrees that any such
private sale made under this Paragraph 6(c) shall be deemed to have been made in
a commercially reasonable manner, and that Collateral Agent has no obligation to
delay the sale of any Pledged Securities to permit the issuer thereof to
register it for public sale under any applicable federal or state securities
Laws.

 

(ii)                                              Collateral Agent is
authorized, in connection with any such sale, (A) to restrict the prospective
bidders on or purchasers of any of the Pledged Securities to a limited number of
sophisticated investors who will represent and agree that they are purchasing
for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or
sale of any of such Pledged Securities, and (B) to impose such other limitations
or conditions in connection with any such sale as Collateral Agent reasonably
deems necessary in order to comply with applicable Law.  Each Debtor covenants
and agrees that it will execute and deliver such documents and take such other
action as Collateral Agent reasonably deems necessary in order that any such
sale may be made in compliance with applicable Law.  Upon any such sale
Collateral Agent shall have the right to deliver, assign, and transfer to the
purchaser thereof the Pledged Securities so sold.  Each purchaser at any such
sale shall hold the Pledged Securities so sold absolutely free from any claim or
Right of any Debtor of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of
redemption of any Debtor.  Each Debtor, to the extent permitted by applicable
Law, hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay, or appraisal
that it has or may have under any Law now existing or hereafter enacted.

 

(iii)                                           Each Debtor agrees that ten
(10) days’ written notice from Collateral Agent to such Debtor of Collateral
Agent’s intention to make any such public or private sale or sale of such
Debtor’s Pledged Securities at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange
shall constitute reasonable notice under the UCC.  Such notice shall (A) in case
of a public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, (B) in case of
sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, state the board or
exchange at which such a sale is to be made and the day on which such Pledged
Securities, or the portion thereof so being sold, will first be offered to sale
at such board or exchange, and (C) in the case of a private sale, state the day
after which such sale may be consummated.  Any such public sale shall be held at
such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as
Collateral Agent may fix in the notice of such sale.  At any such sale, all
Pledged Securities may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels,
as Collateral Agent may reasonably determine.  Collateral Agent shall not

 

13

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

 

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

 

(iv)                                          In case of any sale of all or any
part of the Pledged Securities on credit or for future delivery, the Pledged
Securities so sold may be retained by Collateral Agent until the selling price
is paid by the purchaser thereof, but Collateral Agent shall not incur any
liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the
Pledged Securities so sold and in case of any such failure, such Pledged
Securities may again be sold upon like notice.  Collateral Agent, instead of
exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, may proceed by a suit or
suits at Law or in equity to foreclose the Security Interests and sell the
Pledged Securities, or any portion thereof, under a judgment or decree of a
court or courts of competent jurisdiction.

 

(v)                                             Without limiting the foregoing,
or imposing upon Collateral Agent any obligations or duties not required by
applicable Law, each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that, in foreclosing upon
any of the Pledged Securities, or exercising any other Rights or remedies
provided Collateral Agent hereunder or under applicable Law, Collateral Agent
may, but shall not be required to, (A) qualify or restrict prospective
purchasers of the Pledged Securities by requiring evidence of sophistication or
creditworthiness, and requiring the execution and delivery of confidentiality
agreements or other documents and agreements as a condition to such prospective
purchasers’ receipt of information regarding the Pledged Securities or
participation in any public or private foreclosure sale process, (B) provide to
prospective purchasers business and financial information regarding any or all
Debtors available in the files of Collateral Agent at the time of commencing the
foreclosure process, without the requirement that Collateral Agent obtain, or
seek to obtain, any updated business or financial information or verify, or
certify to prospective purchasers, the accuracy of any such business or
financial information, or (C) offer for sale and sell the Pledged Securities
with, or without, first employing an appraiser, investment banker, or broker
with respect to the evaluation of the Pledged Securities, the solicitation of
purchasers for Pledged Securities, or the manner of sale of Pledged Securities.

 

(d)                                 Compliance with Other Laws.  Collateral
Agent may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in
connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be
considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the
Collateral.

 

(e)                                  Application of Proceeds.  Collateral Agent
shall apply the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral
under this Paragraph 6 first, to the payment of expenses incurred in retaking,
holding, and preparing any of the Collateral for sale(s) or other disposition,
in arranging for such sale(s) or other disposition, and in actually selling or
disposing of the same (all of which are part of the Secured Obligations);
second, toward repayment of amounts owed to

 

14

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

 

Collateral Agent under Paragraph 7; and third, to the Trustee for payment of the
balance of the Secured Obligations in the order and manner specified in the
Indenture.  If the proceeds are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations in
full, each Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency in accordance with the
terms and provisions of the Indenture.

 

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

 

7.                                      OTHER RIGHTS OF COLLATERAL AGENT.

 

(a)                                 Performance.  If any Debtor fails to pay
when due all taxes on any of the Collateral in the manner required by the Note
Documents, or fails to preserve the priority of the Security Interest in any of
the Collateral, or fails to keep the Collateral insured as required by the Note
Documents, or otherwise fails to perform any of its obligations under the Note
Documents with respect to the Collateral, in each case, within the applicable
grace periods, then Collateral Agent may, at its option, but without being
required to do so, pay such taxes, prosecute or defend any suits in relation to
the Collateral, or insure and keep insured the Collateral to the extent required
under the Note Documents, or take all other action that such Debtor is required,
but has failed or refused, to take under the Note Documents.  Any sum that may
be expended or paid by Collateral Agent under this subparagraph (including,
without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) shall bear
interest from the dates of expenditure or payment at the Default Rate until paid
and, together with such interest, shall be payable by Debtors to Collateral
Agent upon demand and shall be part of the Secured Obligations.

 

(b)                                 Collection.  If an Event of Default exists
and upon notice from Collateral Agent, each Obligor with respect to any payments
on any of the Collateral (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds
payable by reason of loss or damage to any of the Collateral) is hereby
authorized and directed by each Debtor to make payment directly to Collateral
Agent, regardless of whether any Debtor was previously making collections
thereon.  Subject to Paragraphs 7(c) and 7(g) hereof, until such notice is
given, each Debtor is authorized to retain and expend all payments made on
Collateral.  If an Event of Default exists, Collateral Agent shall have the
Right in its own name or in the name of any Debtor to compromise or extend time
of payment with respect to all or any portion of the Collateral for such amounts
and upon such terms as Collateral Agent may determine; to notify any and all
account debtors to make payments of the accounts directly to Collateral Agent;
to demand, collect, receive, receipt for, sue for, compound, and give
acquittances for any and all amounts due or to become due with respect to
Collateral; to take control of cash and other proceeds of any Collateral; to
endorse the name of the relevant Debtor on any notes, acceptances, checks,
drafts, money orders, or other evidences of payment on Collateral that may come
into the possession of Collateral Agent; to sign the name of the relevant Debtor
on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Collateral, on any drafts
against Obligors or other Persons making payment with respect to Collateral, on
assignments and verifications of accounts or other Collateral and on notices to
Obligors making payment with respect to Collateral; to send requests for
verification of obligations to any Obligor; and to do all other acts and things
necessary to carry out the intent of this Security

 

15

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

 

Agreement.  If an Event of Default exists and any Obligor fails or refuses to
make payment on any Collateral when due, Collateral Agent is authorized, in its
sole discretion, either in its own name or in the name of any Debtor, to take
such action as Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate for the collection of any
amounts owed with respect to Collateral or upon which a delinquency exists. 
Regardless of any other provision hereof, however, except in the event of its
gross negligence or willful misconduct, Collateral Agent shall never be liable
for its failure to collect, or for its failure to exercise diligence in the
collection of, any amounts owed with respect to Collateral, nor shall it be
under any duty whatsoever to anyone except the relevant Debtor to account for
funds that it shall actually receive hereunder.  The receipt of Collateral Agent
to any Obligor shall be a full and complete release, discharge, and acquittance
to such Obligor, to the extent of any amount so paid to Collateral Agent. 
During the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts and proceeds
(including instruments) received by any Debtor in respect of the Collateral
shall be received in trust for the benefit of Collateral Agent, shall be
segregated from other funds of such Debtor and shall be forthwith paid over to
Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary
endorsement).  The rights of Collateral Agent in this Paragraph 7(b) shall be in
addition to those set forth in Paragraph 7(c), and the provisions of this
Paragraph 7(b) shall not in any way be construed to limit Collateral Agent’s
rights under Paragraph 7(c).

 

(c)                                  Intellectual Property.  For purposes of
enabling Collateral Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under this
Security Agreement and enabling Collateral Agent and its successors and
permitted assigns to enjoy the full benefits of the Collateral, each Debtor
hereby grants to Collateral Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive license or other
right (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such
Debtor) to use any of such Debtor’s Intellectual Property, or any property of a
similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in advertising for sale and
selling any Collateral and such Debtor’s rights under all licenses and all
franchise agreements shall inure to Collateral Agent’s benefit, which license or
right may only be exercised during the continuance of an Event of Default. 
During the continuance of an Event of Default, each Debtor shall provide
Collateral Agent with reasonable access to all media in which any of the
Intellectual Property may be recorded or stored and all computer programs used
for the completion or printout thereof.  This license or other right shall also
inure to the benefit of all successors, permitted assigns, and permitted
transferees of Collateral Agent.  With respect to Intellectual Property that is
not owned by the Debtors, the license and other rights contained in this
Paragraph shall be subject to the terms of any licenses or other agreements that
create and govern any Debtor’s right in such Intellectual Property.

 

(d)                                 Record Ownership of Securities.  If an Event
of Default exists, Collateral Agent at any time may have any Collateral that is
Pledged Securities and that is in the possession of Collateral Agent, or its
nominee or nominees, registered in its name, or in the name of its nominee or
nominees, as Collateral Agent; and, as to any Collateral that is Pledged
Securities so registered, Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver (or cause
to be executed and delivered) to the relevant Debtor all such proxies, powers of
attorney, dividend coupons or orders, and other documents as such Debtor may
reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Debtor to exercise the
voting Rights and powers that it is entitled to exercise under this Security
Agreement or to receive the dividends and other distributions and payments in
respect of such Collateral that is Pledged Securities or proceeds thereof that
it is authorized to receive and retain under this Security Agreement.

 

16

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

 

(e)                                  Voting of Securities.  As long as no Event
of Default exists, each Debtor is entitled to exercise all voting Rights
pertaining to its Pledged Securities and Equity Interests; provided, however,
that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver, or ratification given or action
taken without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent (acting at the
direction of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding) that would (x) be inconsistent with or violate any provision of
this Security Agreement or any other Note Document or (y) amend, modify, or
waive any term, provision or condition of the certificate of incorporation,
bylaws, certificate of formation, or other charter document, or other agreement
relating to, evidencing, providing for the issuance of, or securing any
Collateral in any way that adversely affects the perfection of the security
interest of Collateral Agent in the Pledged Securities or the Equity Interests
pledged by such Debtor hereunder; and provided further that such Debtor shall
give Collateral Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice in
the form of an officers’ certificate of the manner in which it intends to
exercise, or the reasons for refraining from exercising, any voting or other
consensual Rights pertaining to the Collateral or any part thereof that might
have a material adverse effect on the aggregate value of the Collateral (it
being understood that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or responsibility
in respect of such notice other than receiving the same).  If an Event of
Default exists and if Collateral Agent elects to exercise such Right, the Right
to vote any Pledged Securities shall be vested exclusively in Collateral Agent. 
To this end, each Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Collateral
Agent the proxy and attorney-in-fact of such Debtor, with full power of
substitution, to vote, and to act with respect to, any and all Collateral that
is Pledged Securities standing in the name of such Debtor or with respect to
which such Debtor is entitled to vote and act, subject to the understanding that
such proxy may not be exercised unless an Event of Default exists.  The proxy
herein granted is coupled with an interest, is irrevocable, and shall continue
until the Secured Obligations have been paid and performed in full.

 

(f)                                   Certain Proceeds.

 

(i)                                                 Any and all dividends,
interest, or other distributions paid or payable in cash or other than in cash
in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable, or
otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Collateral shall be
part of the Collateral hereunder, and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, (A) shall, if received by any Debtor, be held in trust for the benefit
of Collateral Agent, and (B) if requested by Collateral Agent, acting in
accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, shall forthwith be delivered to
Collateral Agent (accompanied by proper instruments of assignment executed by
such Debtor in accordance with Collateral Agent’s instructions) to be held
subject to the terms of this Security Agreement.  Any cash proceeds of
Collateral that come into the possession of Collateral Agent during the
continuance of an Event of Default (including, without limitation, insurance
proceeds) may, at Collateral Agent’s option and in accordance with the
Intercreditor Agreement, be applied in whole or in part to the Secured
Obligations (to the extent then due), be released in whole or in part to or on
the written instructions of the relevant Debtor for any general or specific
purpose, or be retained in whole or in part by Collateral Agent as additional
Collateral.

 

17

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

 

(ii)                                              During the continuance of an
Event of Default (A) any cash Collateral in the possession of Collateral Agent
may be invested by Collateral Agent in Cash Equivalents and Collateral Agent
shall never be obligated to make any such investment and, absent Collateral
Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall never have any liability
to any Debtor for any loss that may result therefrom and (B) all interest and
other amounts earned from any investment of Collateral may be dealt with by
Collateral Agent in the same manner as other cash Collateral.

 

(g)                                  Use and Operation of Collateral.  Should
any Collateral come into the possession of Collateral Agent, Collateral Agent
may, in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, use such Collateral for the
purpose of preserving it or its value pursuant to the order of a court of
appropriate jurisdiction or in accordance with any other rights held by
Collateral Agent in respect of such Collateral.  Each Debtor covenants to
promptly reimburse and pay to Collateral Agent, at Collateral Agent’s request,
the amount of all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, the cost
of any insurance and payment of taxes or other charges) incurred by Collateral
Agent in connection with its custody and preservation of Collateral, and all
such expenses, costs, taxes, and other charges shall bear interest at the
Default Rate until repaid and, together with such interest, shall be payable by
such Debtor to Collateral Agent upon demand and shall become part of the Secured
Obligations.  However, the risk of accidental loss or damage to, or diminution
in value of, Collateral shall be borne by the Debtors, and Collateral Agent
shall have no liability whatever for failure to obtain or maintain insurance,
nor to determine whether any insurance ever in force is adequate as to amount or
as to the risks insured. With respect to Collateral that is in the possession of
Collateral Agent, Collateral Agent shall have no duty to fix or preserve rights
against prior parties to such Collateral and shall, absent its gross negligence
or willful misconduct, never be liable for any failure to use diligence to
collect any amount payable in respect of such Collateral, but shall be liable
only to account to the relevant Debtors for what it may actually collect or
receive thereon. The provisions of this subparagraph are applicable whether or
not a Default or Event of Default exists.

 

(h)                                 Power of Attorney.  Each Debtor hereby
irrevocably constitutes and appoints 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 name of such
Debtor or in its own name, to take during the continuance of an Event of
Default, any and all action and to execute any and all documents and instruments
that Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time deems necessary or
reasonably desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement and,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Debtor hereby gives
Collateral Agent the power and right on behalf of such Debtor and in its own
name to do any of the following during the continuance of an Event of Default,
without notice to or the consent of such Debtor:  (i) to receive, endorse, and
collect any drafts or other instruments or documents in connection with
Paragraph 7(b) above and this Paragraph 7(h); (ii) to use such Debtor’s
Intellectual Property as provided in Paragraph 7(c); (iii) to demand, sue for,
collect, or receive, in the name of such Debtor or in its own name, any money or
property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any
of the Collateral and, in connection therewith, endorse checks, notes, drafts,
acceptances, money orders, documents of title or any other instruments for the
payment of money under the Collateral or any policy of insurance; (iv) to pay or
discharge taxes, Liens, or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened
against the

 

18

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

 

Collateral; (v) to notify post office authorities to change the address for
delivery of such Debtor to an address designated by Collateral Agent and to
receive, open, and dispose of mail addressed to such Debtor; and (vi) (A) to
direct account debtors and any other parties liable for any payment under any of
the Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due and to become due
thereunder directly to Collateral Agent or as Collateral Agent shall direct;
(B) 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; (C) to sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills,
bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors,
assignments, proxies, stock powers, verifications, and notices in connection
with accounts and other documents relating to the Collateral; (D) to commence
and prosecute any suit, action, or proceeding at Law or in equity in any court
of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof and to
enforce any other Right in respect of any Collateral; (E) to defend any suit,
action, or proceeding brought against such Debtor with respect to any
Collateral; (F) to settle, compromise, or adjust any suit, action, or proceeding
described above and, in connection therewith, to give such discharges or
releases as Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (G) to exchange any of the
Collateral for other property upon any merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization, or other readjustment of the issuer thereof and, in connection
therewith, deposit any of the Collateral with any committee, depositary,
transfer agent, registrar, or other designated agency upon such terms as
Collateral Agent may determine; (H) to add or release any guarantor, indorser,
surety, or other party to any of the Collateral; (I) to renew, extend, or
otherwise change the terms and conditions of any of the Collateral; (J) to

any claims under or pertaining to any of the Collateral (including claims under
any policy of insurance); (L) to execute on behalf of such Debtor any financing
statements or continuation statements with respect to the Security Interests

the Collateral, including, without limitation, the protection and prosecution of
all rights included in the Collateral; and (M) to sell, transfer, pledge,

Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve, maintain, or realize upon
the Collateral and Collateral Agent’s security interest therein.

 

This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be
irrevocable.  Collateral 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 Collateral Agent in this Security Agreement, and shall,
absent its gross negligence or willful misconduct, not be liable for any failure
to do so or any delay in doing so.  Neither Collateral Agent nor any Person
designated by Collateral Agent shall be liable for any act or omission or for
any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or Law, absent Collateral Agent’s
or such designated Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  This power
of attorney is conferred on Collateral Agent solely to protect, preserve,
maintain, and realize upon its Security Interest in the Collateral.  Collateral
Agent shall not be responsible for any decline in the value of the Collateral
and shall not be required to take any steps to preserve rights against prior
parties or to protect, preserve, or maintain any Lien given to secure the
Collateral.

(i)                                     Purchase Money Collateral.  During the
continuance of an Event of Default, to the extent that Collateral Agent or any
Holder has advanced or will advance funds to or for the account of any Debtor to
enable such Debtor to purchase or otherwise acquire Rights in Collateral,
Collateral Agent or such Holder, at its option, may pay such funds (i) directly
to the Person from whom such Debtor will make such purchase or acquire such
Rights, or (ii) to such Debtor, in which case such Debtor covenants to promptly
pay the same to such Person, and forthwith furnish to Collateral Agent evidence
satisfactory to Collateral Agent that such payment has been made from the funds
so provided.

 

(j)                                    Subrogation.  If any of the Secured
Obligations is given in renewal or extension or applied toward the payment of

indebtedness so renewed, extended, or paid.

 

(k)                                 Indemnification.  EACH DEBTOR HEREBY ASSUMES
ALL LIABILITY FOR THE COLLATERAL, FOR THE SECURITY INTEREST, AND FOR ANY USE,
POSSESSION, MAINTENANCE, AND MANAGEMENT OF, ALL OR ANY OF THE

AGAINST, ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, CAUSES OF ACTION, OR LIABILITY, FOR INJURIES TO OR
DEATHS OF PERSONS AND DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, HOWSOEVER ARISING FROM OR INCIDENT TO
SUCH USE, POSSESSION, MAINTENANCE, AND MANAGEMENT, WHETHER SUCH PERSONS BE
AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES OF SUCH DEBTOR OR OF THIRD PARTIES, OR SUCH DAMAGE BE TO
PROPERTY OF SUCH DEBTOR OR OF OTHERS, IN EACH CASE, TO THE EXTENT THE DEBTOR
WOULD BE REQUIRED TO DO SO PURSUANT TO SECTION 7.07 OR SECTION 13.12(w) OF THE
INDENTURE.  TO THE EXTENT THE DEBTOR WOULD BE REQUIRED TO DO SO PURSUANT TO
SECTION 7.07 OR SECTION 13.12(w) OF THE INDENTURE, EACH DEBTOR AGREES TO
INDEMNIFY, SAVE, AND HOLD EACH BENEFICIARY (EACH, AN “INDEMNIFIED PERSON”),
HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST, AND COVENANTS TO DEFEND EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON
AGAINST, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, DAMAGES, CLAIMS, COSTS, PENALTIES, LIABILITIES, AND

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

 

JUDGMENT NOT SUBJECT TO FURTHER APPEAL, , AND, TO THE EXTENT A DEBTOR HAS PAID
ANY EXPENSES OR MADE ANY INDEMNIFICATION PAYMENTS WITH RESPECT TO ITEMS COVERED
BY THIS PROVISO, SUCH DEBTOR SHALL BE ENTITLED TO REIMBURSEMENT OF SUCH AMOUNTS
FROM THE APPLICABLE PARTY WHOSE EXPENSES WERE PAID OR WHO OBTAINED
INDEMNIFICATION.

 

(l)                                     The permissive right of the Collateral
Agent to take or refrain from taking any actions enumerated in this Security
Agreement shall not be construed as a duty.  In connection with exercising any
right or discretionary duty hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to
rely upon the direction of holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding.  The Collateral Agent shall not have any liability for
taking any action at the direction of such party, or for any failure or delay of
any such party to provide timely direction to the Collateral Agent. 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Security Agreement, (i) any such
direction may not conflict with any rule of law or with this Security Agreement
and (ii) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that it
determines might involve it in liability (unless the Collateral Agent has
received satisfactory indemnity against such liability).

 

(m)                             The Collateral Agent shall enjoy all the same
rights, protections, immunities and indemnities granted to it under the
Indenture as though set forth in full herein. In performing its functions and
duties solely under this Security Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall act
solely as the agent of the other Beneficiaries and does not assume, nor shall be
deemed to have assumed, any obligation or relationship of trust with or for the
other Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Security Agreement or any other Note
Document shall be interpreted as giving the Collateral Agent responsibility for
or any duty concerning the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of
the liens granted hereunder or giving the Collateral Agent any obligation to
take any action to procure or maintain such validity, perfection, priority or
enforceability.  The Collateral Agent shall have no duties or obligations under
this Security Agreement except for those expressly set forth herein as duties on
its part to be performed.

 

(n)                                 In no event shall the Collateral Agent be
required to take any action under any landlord lien waiver, estoppel or
collateral access letter, or any account control agreement or any instruction or
direction letter delivered in connection with such document unless the
Collateral Agent has received a direction to take such action from the holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (and received
satisfactory indemnity in respect thereof).

 

8.                                      ADDITIONAL DEBTORS.  From time to time
subsequent to the time hereof, additional Subsidiaries of Midstates that are
required to become Guarantors pursuant to Section 4.17 of the Indenture shall
become parties hereto as additional Debtors (each an “Additional Debtor”) by
executing a Security Agreement Supplement substantially in the form attached
hereto.  Upon delivery of any such supplement to Collateral Agent, notice of
which is hereby waived by Debtors, each such Additional Debtor shall be a Debtor
hereunder and shall be a party hereto as if such Additional Debtor were an
original signatory hereof.  Each Debtor expressly agrees that its obligations
arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release
of any other Debtor hereunder.  This Security Agreement shall be fully effective
as to any Debtor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any
such Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Debtor hereunder.

 

21

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

 

9.                                      MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a)                                 Continuing Security Interest.  This Security
Agreement creates a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall
(i) remain in full force and effect until the Discharge of Third Lien
Obligations; (ii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Beneficiaries and their respective successors, permitted transferees, and
permitted assigns; and (iii) be binding on each Debtor and such Debtor’s
successors and assigns.  No Debtor may, without the prior written consent of
Collateral Agent, acting at the direction of the holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, assign any rights, duties, or
obligations hereunder.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
clause (ii), Collateral Agent and Holders may assign or otherwise transfer any
of their respective rights under this Security Agreement to any other Person in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Indenture, and to the extent of
such assignment or transfer such Person shall thereupon become vested with all
the rights and benefits in respect thereof granted herein or otherwise to
Collateral Agent or Holders, as the case may be.  Upon the Discharge of Third
Lien Obligations, each Debtor shall be entitled, upon its request and at its
expense, to a release of the Collateral.  No Obligor, if any, on any of the
Collateral shall ever be obligated to make inquiry as to the termination of this
Security Agreement, but shall be fully protected in making payment directly to
Collateral Agent until actual notice of such total payment of the Secured
Obligations is received by such Obligor.

 

(b)                                 Actions Not Releases.  The Security Interest
and each Debtor’s obligations and Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder shall not
be released, diminished, impaired, or adversely affected by the occurrence of
any one or more of the following events:  (i) the taking or accepting of any
other security or assurance for any or all of the Secured Obligations; (ii) any
release, surrender, exchange, subordination, or loss of any security or
assurance at any time existing in connection with any or all of the Secured
Obligations; (iii) the modification of, amendment to, or waiver of compliance
with any terms of any of the other Note Documents without the notification or
consent of such Debtor, except as required therein; (iv) the insolvency,
bankruptcy, or lack of corporate or trust power of any party at any time liable
for the payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations, whether now existing
or hereafter occurring; (v) any renewal, extension, or rearrangement of the
payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations, either with or without notice
to or consent of any Debtor (except as required by any Note Document), or any
adjustment, indulgence, forbearance, or compromise that may be granted or given
by Collateral Agent or any Holder to any Debtor; (vi) any neglect, delay,
omission, failure, or refusal of Collateral Agent or any Holder to take or
prosecute any action in connection with any other agreement, document, guaranty,
or instrument evidencing, securing, or assuring the payment of all or any of the
Secured Obligations; (vii) any failure of Collateral Agent or any Holder to
notify any Debtor of any renewal, extension, or assignment of the Secured
Obligations or any part thereof, or the release of any Collateral or other
security, or of any other action taken or refrained from being taken by
Collateral Agent or any Holder against any Debtor or any new agreement between
or among Collateral Agent or one or more Holders and any Debtor, it being
understood that except as expressly provided herein or in any other Note
Document, neither Collateral Agent nor any Holder shall be required to give any
Debtor any notice of any kind under any circumstances whatsoever with respect to
or in connection with the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation,
notice of acceptance of this Security Agreement or any Collateral ever delivered
to or for the account of Collateral Agent hereunder; (viii) the illegality,
invalidity, or unenforceability of all or any part of the Secured Obligations

 

22

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

 

against any party obligated with respect thereto by reason of the fact that the
Secured Obligations, or the interest paid or payable with respect thereto,
exceeds the amount permitted by Law, the act of creating the Secured
Obligations, or any part thereof, is ultra vires, or the officers, partners, or
trustees creating same acted in excess of their authority, or for any other
reason; or (ix) if any payment by any party obligated with respect thereto is
held to constitute a preference under applicable Laws or for any other reason
Collateral Agent or any Holder is required to refund such payment or pay the
amount thereof to someone else.

 

(c)                                  Waivers.  Except to the extent expressly
otherwise provided herein or in other Note Documents and to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Law, each Debtor waives (i) any right to require
Collateral Agent or any Holder to proceed against any other Person, to exhaust
its rights in Collateral, or to pursue any other right that Collateral Agent or
any Holder may have; (ii) with respect to the Secured Obligations, presentment
and demand for payment, protest, notice of protest and nonpayment, and notice of
the intention to accelerate and notice of acceleration; and (iii) all rights of
marshaling in respect of any and all of the Collateral.

 

(d)                                 Financing Statement; Authorization.  Without
limiting the obligations of the Debtors to maintain and preserve the perfection
of the Security Interest granted hereunder, Collateral Agent shall be entitled
at any time to file this Security Agreement or a carbon, photographic, or other
reproduction of this Security Agreement, as a financing statement, but the
failure of Collateral Agent to do so shall not impair the validity or
enforceability of this Security Agreement.  Each Debtor hereby irrevocably
authorizes Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any UCC
jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto (without
the requirement for such Debtor’s signature thereon) describing the collateral
therein as “all assets” (or words of like effect) and containing any information
required by Article 9 of the UCC of the state or such jurisdiction for the
sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment,
including whether the Company is an organization, the type of organization, and
any organization identification number issued to such Debtor.  Each Debtor
agrees to furnish any such information to Collateral Agent promptly upon
request.

 

(e)                                  Amendments.  This Security Agreement may be
amended only by an instrument in writing executed jointly by each Debtor and
Collateral Agent in accordance with the amendment provisions set forth in
Article 9 of the Indenture, and supplemented only by documents delivered or to
be delivered in accordance with the express terms hereof.

 

(f)                                   Multiple Counterparts.  This Security
Agreement has been executed in a number of identical counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original for all purposes and all of which constitute,
collectively, one agreement; but, in making proof of this Security Agreement, it
shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such
counterpart.  Delivery of an executed signature page of this Security Agreement
by facsimile transmission or in portable document format (.pdf) shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

 

(g)                                  Collateral Agent as Agent.  Collateral
Agent may, without the joinder of any other Beneficiary, exercise any and all
rights in favor of the Beneficiaries hereunder, including, without limitation,
conducting any foreclosure sales hereunder, and executing full or partial
releases hereof, amendments or modifications hereto, or consents or waivers
hereunder.  The

 

23

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

 

rights of each Beneficiary vis-a-vis Collateral Agent and each other Beneficiary
may be subject to one or more separate agreements between or among such parties,
but no Debtor need inquire about any such agreement or be subject to any terms
thereof unless such Debtor specifically joins therein; and consequently, unless
such Debtor specifically joins therein, no Debtor and none of such Debtor’s
heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns shall be entitled to
any benefits or provisions of any such separate agreements or be entitled to
rely upon or raise as a defense, in any manner whatsoever, the failure or
refusal of any party thereto to comply with the provisions thereof.

 

(h)                                 Note Documents.  This Security Agreement is
a Note Document.

 

(i)                                     GOVERNING LAW.  THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK AND APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW.

 

(j)                                    Notices.  All notices, requests and other
communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and given to
Collateral Agent as provided in Section 12.02 of the Indenture.  All
communications and notices hereunder to the Debtors shall be given to the
Debtors at their respective addresses set forth in Section 12.02 of the
Indenture or at such other address as shall be designated by Debtors in a
written notice to Collateral Agent.

 

(k)                                 JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH
PARTY HERETO AGREES TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 12.09 OF THE INDENTURE.

 

10.                               ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND
THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES THERETO
AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT
ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.  THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS
AMONG THE PARTIES.
