the other Notes Documents, each Additional Pari Passu Agreement, the other
Additional Pari Passu Debt Documents and applicable Laws; provided that any
noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would

reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of any
Pledged Equity or received in exchange for Pledged Equity or any part thereof,
or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation,
acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or
otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received

property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust

promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) delivered to the Collateral
Agent in the same form as so received (duly endorsed in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent).  So long as no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall promptly
deliver to Holdings any Pledged Equity in its possession if requested in writing

Pari Passu Agreement in accordance with this Section 2.05(a)(iii).

(b)Subject to the terms of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement,
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the
Collateral Agent shall have notified Holdings of the suspension of its rights
under paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.05, then all rights of Holdings to
dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that Holdings is
authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.05 shall
cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral
Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive
and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions.  All
dividends, interest, principal or other distributions received by Holdings
contrary to the provisions of this Section 2.05 shall be held in trust for the
benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or
funds of Holdings and shall be promptly (and in any event within 10 days)
delivered to the Collateral Agent upon demand in the same form as so received
(duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent).  Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the
Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be
retained by the Collateral Agent in an account to be established by the
Collateral Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be
applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.02.  After all Events of
Default have been cured or waived, the Collateral Agent shall promptly repay to
Holdings (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other
distributions that Holdings would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to
the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.05 and that remain in such
account.

(c)Subject to the terms of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement,
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the
Collateral Agent shall have provided Holdings with notice of the suspension of
its rights under paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.05, then all rights of
Holdings to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled
to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.05, and the
obligations of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section
2.05, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the
Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to
exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided that, unless
otherwise directed in writing by the holders of the majority in the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of all Secured Obligations, the Collateral Agent
shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of
an Event of Default to permit Holdings to

-5-

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

 

exercise such rights.  After all Events of Default have been cured or waived,
Holdings shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting and/or consensual
rights and powers that Holdings would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant
to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) above, and the obligations of the Collateral
Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.05 shall be reinstated.

(d)Any notice given by the Collateral Agent to Holdings under Section 2.04 or
Section 2.05 shall be given in writing and may suspend the rights of Holdings
under paragraph (a)(i) or paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.05 in part
without suspending all such rights (as specified by the Collateral Agent in its
sole and absolute discretion) and without waiving or otherwise affecting the
Collateral Agent’s rights to give additional notices from time to time
suspending other rights so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.

ARTICLE III

Remedies

Remedies Upon Default

.  Subject to the terms of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement,
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is
agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the
Secured Obligations, including the Guarantees, under the Uniform Commercial Code
or other applicable Law and also may (i) exercise any and all rights and
remedies of Holdings under or in connection with the Pledged Collateral, or
otherwise in respect of the Pledged Collateral; provided that the Collateral
Agent shall provide Holdings with notice thereof prior to such exercise; and
(ii) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable Law and the notice
requirements described below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of
the Pledged Collateral securing the Secured Obligations at a public or private
sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon
credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem
appropriate.  The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of
securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective
bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are
purchasing the Pledged Collateral for their own account for investment and not
with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any
such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and
deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Pledged Collateral so
sold.  Each such purchaser at any sale of Pledged Collateral shall hold the
property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of Holdings,
and Holdings hereby waives (to the extent permitted by Law) all rights of
redemption, stay and appraisal which Holdings now has or may at any time in the
future have under any Law now existing or hereafter enacted.

The Collateral Agent shall give Holdings 10 days’ written notice (which Holdings
agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC or
its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to
make any sale of Pledged Collateral.  Such notice, in the case of a public sale,
shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a
broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at
which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Pledged Collateral, or
portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange.  Any
such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business
hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in
the notice (if any) of such sale.  At any such sale, the Pledged Collateral, or
portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate
parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion)
determine.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any
Pledged Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact
that notice of sale of such Pledged Collateral shall have been given.  The
Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or
private sale or cause the same to be adjourned

-6-

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

 

from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such
sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the
same was so adjourned.  In case any sale of all or any part of the Pledged
Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Pledged Collateral so
sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the
purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any
liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay
for the Pledged Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such
Pledged Collateral may be sold again upon like notice.  At any public (or, to
the extent permitted by Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any
Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by Law)
from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of
Holdings (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent
permitted by Law), the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale
and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable
to such Secured Party from Holdings as a credit against the purchase price, and
such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and
dispose of such property without further accountability to Holdings
therefor.  For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Pledged
Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the
Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement
and Holdings shall not be entitled to the return of the Pledged Collateral or
any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the
Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default
shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full.  As an
alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the
Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at Law or in equity to foreclose
this Agreement and to sell the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof
pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent
jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court appointed receiver.  Any
sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.01 shall be deemed to conform
to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the
UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

Subject to the terms of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, in
the case of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent will exercise remedies and
sell the Collateral at the written direction of the holders of the majority in
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Secured Obligations; provided
that if the Collateral Agent has asked the Secured Parties for instructions and
the applicable holders have not yet responded to such request, the Collateral
Agent will be authorized, but not obligated, to take such actions which the
Collateral Agent believes to be reasonably required to promote and protect the
interests of the Secured Parties and/or to preserve the value of the Collateral.

Application of Proceeds

.  

(a)Subject to the terms of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement,
the Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of
Pledged Collateral, including any Pledged Collateral consisting of cash in the
following order:

First, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses, fees, commissions
and taxes of such sale, collection or other realization including compensation
to the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and any other Additional Pari Passu Agent
and their respective agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and
advances made or incurred by the Collateral Agent, Trustee and any other
Additional Pari Passu Agent in connection therewith and all fees, expenses,
indemnities and other amounts for which each of the Collateral Agent and the
Trustee is entitled pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, any other
Security Document or this Agreement and any other Additional Pari Passu Agent in
accordance with the terms of the applicable Additional Pari Passu Agreements
then in effect;

Second, subject to clause (e) below, to all amounts then owing in respect of the
Obligations on a pro rata basis; and

-7-

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

 

Third, the balance, if any, to the Company or Guarantors or such other persons
as are entitled thereto.

(b)The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of
application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this
Agreement.  Upon any sale of Pledged Collateral by the Collateral Agent
(including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial
proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the
sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the
Pledged Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be
obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over
to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the
misapplication thereof.

The Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for
actions taken in reliance on information supplied to it as to the amounts of
unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the
Secured Obligations, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent
Holdings from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any
information so supplied.  All distributions made by the Collateral Agent
pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of
competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error), and the Collateral Agent
shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by the Trustee of any
amounts distributed to it.

(c)If, despite the provisions of this Agreement, any Secured Party shall receive
any payment or other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of
the Secured Obligations to which it is then entitled in accordance with this
Agreement, such Secured Party shall hold such payment or other recovery in trust
for the benefit of all Secured Parties hereunder for distribution in accordance
with this Section 3.02.

(d)In making the determinations and allocations required by this Section 3.02,
the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon information supplied by the
Trustee or each Additional Pari Passu Agent, as applicable, as to the amounts of
unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the
Secured Obligations, and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of
the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such information, provided
that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any
amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied.  All
distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall
be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent
manifest error), and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to
the application by the Trustee or any Additional Pari Passu Agent of any amounts
distributed to it.  All distributions to be made on accrual of interest and
principal on the Notes shall be made to the Trustee for further distribution in
accordance with the Indenture.

(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing and the pari passu nature of all the Secured
Obligations under the Notes, on the one hand, and the other Other
Second-Priority Obligations, on the other hand, in the event of any
determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that (i) any of such other
Other Second-Priority Obligations are unenforceable under applicable law or are
subordinated to any other obligations, (ii) any of such other Other
Second-Priority Obligations do not have an enforceable security interest in any
of the Collateral (as such term is defined in the Indenture) and/or (iii) any
intervening security interest exists securing any other obligations (other than
obligations under the Notes or other series of Other Second-Priority
Obligations) on a basis ranking prior to the security interest of such other
Other Second-Priority Obligations but junior to the security interest of the
Secured Obligations under the Notes (any such condition referred to in the
foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) with respect to any such Other
Second-Priority Obligations, an “Impairment” of such other Other Second-Priority
Obligations), the results of such Impairment shall be borne solely by the
holders of such other Other Second-Priority Obligations, and the rights of the
holders of such other Other Second-Priority Obligations (including, without
limitation, the right to receive distributions in respect of such other Other
Second-Priority Obligations) set forth

-8-

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

 

herein shall be modified to the extent necessary so that the effects of such
Impairment are borne solely by the holders of such other Other Second-Priority
Obligations subject to such Impairment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with
respect to any Collateral (as such term is defined in the Indenture) for which a
third party (other than a holder of Other Second-Priority Obligations) has a
lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the security interest of
the holders of the Notes but senior (as determined by appropriate legal
proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the security interest of the holder
of any other Other Second-Priority Obligations (such third party, an
“Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Collateral or proceeds that are
allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis
solely from the Collateral or proceeds to be distributed in respect of the Other
Second-Priority Obligations with respect to which such Impairment exists.

Section 4.02.Waivers, Amendment.

(a)No failure or delay by any Secured Party in exercising any right, remedy,
power or privilege hereunder, under any other Notes Document or under any
Additional Pari Passu Debt Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege

privileges of the Secured Parties herein provided, and provided under each other

permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 4.02, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which

Notes shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether
any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or
modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into
by the Collateral Agent and Holdings, subject to any consent required in

of written demand therefor.

(c)The provisions of Articles VII and XI of the Indenture, including the rights,
benefits, privileges, protections, indemnities and immunities of the Collateral

its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any
of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers.

or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Secured Party may have had notice
or knowledge of any Default at the time any Notes were issued under the
Indenture or any other Default (as defined in and under any Additional Pari
Passu Debt Document), and shall continue in full force and effect as long as
this Agreement has not been terminated or released pursuant to Section 4.12
below.

Counterparts; Effectiveness, Several Agreement

shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and
the same instrument.  Delivery by facsimile or other electronic communication of
an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective
as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.  This
Agreement shall become effective as to Holdings when a counterpart hereof
executed on behalf of Holdings shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent
and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral
Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon Holdings and the Collateral Agent
and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the
benefit of Holdings, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and
their respective permitted successors and assigns, except that Holdings shall
not have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or
any interest herein or in the Pledged Collateral (and any such assignment or
transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or
the Indenture and each Additional Pari Passu Agreement.

Severability

.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby.  The
invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Right of Set Off

.  In addition to any rights and remedies of the Secured Parties provided by
Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default,

Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of Holdings against any and all
Obligations owing to such Secured Party and its Affiliates hereunder, now or
hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party or
Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement and although such
Obligations may be contingent or un-matured or denominated in a currency
different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness.  Each Secured
Party agrees promptly to notify Holdings and the Collateral Agent after any such
set off and application made by such Secured Party; provided, that the failure
to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and
application.  The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 4.08 are in

such Secured Party may have at Law.

as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Pledged Collateral
for all purposes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as
requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make
any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the
Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any
action with respect to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys
due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby.  The
Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for
amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to
them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents

reorganization or otherwise.

Default has occurred.

interests granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties
pursuant to this Agreement are expressly subject and subordinate to the Liens
and security interests granted to (x) the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent (as
defined in the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the
related security document and (y) the First-Priority Notes Collateral Agent (as
defined in the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the
related security documents and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the
Collateral Agent hereunder or the application of proceeds (including insurance

Agreement the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for, or any duty to

the contents thereof) or the compliance of any Grantor or Additional Pari Passu
Agent with the terms thereof.  Without limiting the foregoing, in the event the
Collateral Agent is required to take action hereunder and such action is
conditioned upon compliance with the terms of any Additional Pari Passu
Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to request, and be fully
protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate of the relevant Grantor
and/or the applicable Additional Pari Passu Agent that such action is permitted
or authorized under the terms of such Additional Pari Passu Agreement.  To the
extent such Additional Pari Passu Agreement grants any rights, protections,
immunities or indemnities thereunder to the Collateral Agent, Holdings agrees
