delayed;

-4-

Obligations of the Pledgor under the Credit Documents are punctually and
faithfully paid and performed in the manner provided for therein.

Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders may exercise any one or more of the
rights and remedies as hereinafter set forth or as set forth and provided for in
each of the other Credit Documents.     7.2   Prior to the occurrence of an
Event of Default, and after the cure of such Event of Default (if cured prior to

reimbursement by Pledgor of all expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and
Lenders resulting from such Event of Default, Pledgor shall be entitled to
exercise any and all rights to receive cash dividends and distributions,
consent, vote, approve, elect, determine, consult, propose, agree, and all other

thereof, to the extent permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement and
other Credit Documents.

8. After Event of Default

  8.1   Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default,
and at any time thereafter (unless (x) Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders
has waived such Event of Default by written instrument signed by a duly
authorized officer of Administrative Agent or (y) such Event of Default has been
cured as set forth in Section 7.2 hereof and in Section 9.2 of the Credit
Agreement), Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders shall have all of the
rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial
Code as adopted in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in addition to which
Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders may sell or otherwise dispose of the
Collateral or any portion thereof and/or enforce and collect the Collateral or
any portion thereof (including, without limitation, the liquidation of debt
instruments or securities and the exercise

-5-

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

 

      of conversion rights with respect to convertible securities, whether or
not such instruments or securities have matured, and whether or not any
penalties or other charges are imposed on account of such action) for
application towards (but not necessarily in complete satisfaction of) the
Obligations. The proceeds of any such collection or of any such sale or other
disposition of the Collateral, or any portion thereof shall be applied as
provided in Section 3.3 of the Credit Agreement. Pledgor shall remain liable to
Administrative Agent and Lenders for any deficiency remaining following such
application. Any surplus remaining after payment in full of all Obligations
shall be paid over to Pledgor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to
receive such surplus.     8.2   Unless the Collateral is perishable, threatens
to decline speedily in value, or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized
market (in which event Administrative Agent shall give Pledgor such notice as
may be practicable under the circumstances), Administrative Agent shall give
Pledgor at least the greater of the minimum notice required by law or ten
(10) days’ prior written notice of the date, time and place of any public sale
thereof, or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended
disposition is to be made.     8.3   Pledgor acknowledges that any exercise by
Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders of Lender’s rights upon an Event of
Default will be subject to compliance by Administrative Agent on behalf of
Lenders with the applicable statutes, regulations, ordinances, directives and
orders of any federal, state, municipal or other governmental authority
including, without limitation, any of the foregoing which may restrict the sale
or disposition of securities. Administrative Agent in its sole discretion at any
such sale or in connection with any such disposition may restrict the
prospective bidders or purchasers as to their number, nature of business,
investment intention, or otherwise, including, without limitation, a requirement
that the Persons making such purchases represent and agree to the satisfaction
of Administrative Agent that they are purchasing the Collateral, or some portion
thereof, for their own account, for investment and not with a view towards the
distribution or a sale thereof, or that they otherwise fall within some lawful
exemption from registration under applicable laws.

9. Actions By Administrative Agent. Pledgor hereby appoints Administrative
Agent, or any agent designated by Administrative Agent, as the attorney-in-fact
of Pledgor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing to:

Collateral; (b) cause the transfer of any of the Collateral in such name as
Administrative Agent may from time to time determine; (c) renew, extend or roll
over any Collateral; (d) make, demand and initiate actions to enforce any of the
Collateral or rights therein; and (e) file financing statements, continuation
statements, and amendments thereto describing the Collateral without the

action with respect to the Collateral as Administrative Agent may reasonably
determine to be necessary to protect and preserve its interest in the
Collateral. Administrative Agent shall also have and may exercise at any time
after an Event of Default has

-6-

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

 

occurred and is continuing all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and
discretions of Pledgor with respect to and under the Collateral; provided that
in no event shall Administrative Agent have the right to make capital calls on
Pledgor or any other shareholder, member or partner of a Portfolio Investment
Entity. The within designation and grant of power of attorney is coupled with an
interest and is irrevocable until this Pledge and Security Agreement is
terminated by a written instrument executed by a duly authorized officer of
Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders or until all Obligations have been
paid or fulfilled and the obligation of Lenders to make Loans under the Credit
Agreement has terminated. The power of attorney under this Section 9 shall not
be affected by subsequent disability or incapacity of Pledgor. Neither
Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable for any act or omission to
act pursuant to this Section 9, except for any act or omission to act which
constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct. Administrative Agent on
behalf of Lenders shall execute partial releases of this Agreement under the
terms of the Credit Agreement.
10. Rights and Remedies. The rights, remedies, powers, privileges and
discretions of Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders hereunder (hereinafter,
the “Rights and Remedies”) shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights,
remedies, powers, privileges or discretions which it may otherwise have. No
delay or omission by Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising or
enforcing any of the Rights and Remedies shall operate as, or constitute, a
waiver thereof. No waiver by Administrative Agent or any Lender of any Default
or any Event of Default or of any default under any other Credit Document shall
operate as a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default or of any other
default under any Credit Document. No exercise of any Rights and Remedies shall
preclude any other exercise of the Rights and Remedies. No waiver by
Administrative Agent or any Lender of any of the Rights and Remedies on any one
occasion shall be deemed a waiver on any subsequent occasion nor shall it be
deemed a continuing waiver. All Rights and Remedies and all of Administrative
Agent’s and Lenders’ rights, remedies, powers, privileges and discretions under
any other agreement or transaction in respect of the Collateral are cumulative
and not alternative or exclusive and may be exercised by Administrative Agent or
any Lender at such time or times in such order of preference as Administrative
Agent or such Lender in its sole and absolute discretion may determine.
11. Pledgor’s Consent and Waiver. Pledgor hereby agrees that Administrative
Agent on behalf of Lenders may enforce its rights as against Pledgor or the
Collateral, or as against any other party liable for the Obligations, or as

in such combination as Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders may in its sole
discretion determine, and Pledgor hereby expressly waives all suretyship
defenses and defenses in the nature thereof, agrees to the release or
substitution of any Collateral hereunder or otherwise, and consents to each and
all of the terms, provisions and conditions of the other Credit Documents.

presentment, demand, notice and protest with respect to the Obligations and the
Collateral; (b) waives any delay on the part of Administrative Agent or any
Lender; (c) assents to any indulgence or waiver which Administrative Agent or
any Lender may grant or give any other Person liable or obliged to

-7-

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

notice to or further consent from Pledgor; (e) agrees that no release of any
property securing the Obligations shall affect the rights of Administrative
Agent or any Lender with respect to the Collateral hereunder which is not so
released; and (f) to the fullest extent that is permitted by applicable law,
waives the right to notice and/or hearing, it might otherwise be entitled
thereto, prior to Administrative Agent’s exercising the Rights and Remedies on
behalf of Lenders upon an Event of Default.

transfer by Administrative Agent or any Lender of the Credit Documents and the
indebtedness evidenced thereby that is permitted under the Credit Agreement,
Administrative Agent or such Lender may deliver the Collateral disposed of as
part of such a sale or transfer to the purchaser or transferee, who shall
thereupon become vested with all powers and rights given to Administrative Agent
or such Lender in respect thereto, and Administrative Agent or such Lender shall
be thereafter forever relieved and fully discharged from any liability or
responsibility in connection therewith.
13. Limits on Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ Duties. Neither Administrative
Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty as to the collection or protection of
the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or any income or distribution thereon,

possession of Administrative Agent or such Lender and the accounting for monies
actually received by Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder, and neither

Pledgor or any other shareholder, member or partner of a Portfolio Investment
Entity, including but not limited to, the obligation to make contributions to
capital or the obligation to make any other payment to, for or on behalf of the
Pledgor. The Administrative Agent’s rights and obligations in respect of the
Pledged Interests are those only of a secured party under Massachusetts law.

reasonably required to evidence the release of such item of the Collateral from
the security interest granted hereby (which release may be concurrent with and
conditional on the consummation of such Permitted Portfolio Disposition);
provided that at the time of such request and such release no Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing.
     (b) Upon the indefeasible payment in full of all Obligations and the
termination or expiration of the obligation of Lenders to make Loans under the
Credit Agreement, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all
rights to the Collateral shall revert to Pledgor. Upon any such payment and
termination or expiration, the Administrative gent will, at Pledgor’s sole

documents as Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
     (c) Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders will execute and deliver
such instruments as Pledgor reasonably requests, including amendments to any
