TRW AUTOMOTIVE ACQUISITION CORP.), a Delaware corporation (the “U.S. Borrower”),
each subsidiary identified on Schedule I hereto (each a “Pledgor,” and together
with the U.S. Borrower, the “Pledgors”) and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., a
national banking association organized under the laws of the United States of
America (“JPMCB”), as Collateral Agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral
Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined below).

 

Reference is made to the Eighth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as

The Revolving Credit Lenders have agreed to extend credit to the Foreign
Subsidiary Borrowers subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit

credit are conditioned upon, among other things, the execution and delivery of
this Agreement, pursuant to which 35% of the Equity Interests of certain Foreign
Subsidiaries are being pledged to secure the Foreign Obligations (as defined
below), and the U.S. Collateral Agreement, pursuant to which an amount not in
excess of 65% of the Equity Interests of certain Foreign Subsidiaries are being
pledged to secure the Obligations (as defined in the U.S. Collateral
Agreement).  The Pledgors are affiliates of the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers,
and each Foreign Subsidiary Borrower is an affiliate of the other Foreign
Subsidiary Borrowers.  The Pledgors will derive substantial benefits from the
extension of credit to the Foreign Subsidiary Borrowers, and each Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower will derive substantial benefits from the extensions of
credit to each other Foreign Subsidiary Borrower, in each case pursuant to the
Credit Agreement.  The Pledgors are willing to execute and deliver this
Agreement in order to induce the Revolving Credit Lenders to extend such
credit.  Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

legal, valid and perfected first priority lien upon and security interest in
such Pledged Securities as security for the payment and performance of the
Foreign Obligations; and

Agent in the Pledged Collateral as set forth herein.

Partnership Interests.  Each interest in any limited liability company or
limited partnership controlled by any Pledgor and pledged hereunder shall be
represented by a certificate, shall be a “security” within the meaning of

UCC; provided, however, that in the case of any limited liability company or
limited partnership that, in either case, is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary formed or
acquired after the Closing Date, the U.S. Borrower shall cause such interests to
be represented by a certificate, to be a “security” within the meaning of
Article 8 of the New York UCC and to be governed by Article 8 of the New York
UCC, in each case not later than 20 Business Days after the date of formation or

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

 

Section 2.05.  Registration in Nominee Name; Denominations.  The Collateral
Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the right (in its sole and
absolute discretion) to hold the Pledged Securities in the name of the
applicable Pledgor endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of the Collateral
Agent or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in its
own name as pledgee or the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as sub-agent). 
Each Pledgor will promptly give to the Collateral Agent copies of any notices or
other communications received by it with respect to Pledged Securities
registered in the name of such Pledgor.  The Collateral Agent shall at all times
have the right to exchange the certificates representing Pledged Securities for
certificates of smaller or larger denominations for any purpose consistent with
this Agreement.  Each Pledgor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cause any Loan Party that is not a party to this Agreement to comply with a
request by the Collateral Agent, pursuant to this Section 2.05, to exchange
certificates representing Pledged Securities of such Loan Party for certificates
of smaller or larger denominations.

 

Section 2.06.  Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest, etc.  (a)  Unless and
until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

 

(i)  Each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other
consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Securities or any
part thereof for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such rights and
powers shall not be exercised in any manner that could materially and adversely
affect the rights inuring to a holder of any Pledged Securities, the rights and
remedies of any of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties under this
Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or the ability of the
Secured Parties to exercise the same.

 

(ii)  The Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to each Pledgor,
or cause to be executed and delivered to such Pledgor, all such proxies, powers
of attorney and other instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request for the
purpose of enabling such Pledgor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights
and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to subparagraph (i) above.

 

(iii)  Each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all
dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in
respect of the Pledged Securities to the extent and only to the extent that such
dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are permitted by, and
otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the terms and conditions of
the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable laws; provided
that any noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that
would constitute Pledged Securities, whether resulting from a subdivision,
combination or reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the
issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged Securities
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 by any Pledgor, shall not be commingled by such Pledgor with
any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart
therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, for
the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall be forthwith delivered to

 

6

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

 

the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in the
same form as so received (endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent).

 

(b)  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and
after notice by the Collateral Agent to the relevant Pledgors of the Collateral
Agent’s intention to exercise its rights hereunder, all rights of any Pledgor to
dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Pledgor is
authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 shall
cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested, for the ratable
benefit of the Secured Parties, 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 any Pledgor contrary to the provisions of
this Section 2.06 shall not be commingled by such Pledgor with any of its other
funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held
in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the
Secured Parties, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent, for
the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in the same form as so received
(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 and the U.S. Borrower has delivered to the Collateral Agent a certificate
to that effect, the Collateral Agent shall promptly repay to each Pledgor
(without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions
that such Pledgor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms
of paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 and that remain in such account.

 

(c)  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and
after notice by the Collateral Agent to the relevant Pledgors of the Collateral
Agent’s intention to exercise its rights hereunder, all rights of any Pledgor to
exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to
exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, and the obligations
of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06, shall
cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral
Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, which shall have the sole
and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights
and powers; provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Required Lenders,
the Collateral Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during
the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Pledgors to exercise such
rights.  After all Events of Default have been cured or waived and the U.S.
Borrower has delivered to the Collateral Agent a certificate to that effect,
each Pledgor shall have the right to exercise the voting and/or consensual
rights and powers that such Pledgor would otherwise be entitled to exercise
pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) above.

 

ARTICLE III

 

Remedies

 

Section 3.01.  Remedies Upon Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, each Pledgor agrees to deliver each item of
Pledged Collateral to the Collateral Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the
Collateral Agent shall have

 

7

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

 

the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or
otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral 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 in connection with any
sale of a security (if it deems it advisable to do so) pursuant to the foregoing
to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who represent and
agree that they are purchasing such security for their own account, for
investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof.  Upon
consummation of any such sale of Pledged Collateral pursuant to this
Section 3.01, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and
deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold.  Each
such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free
from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby
waives and releases (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption,
stay, valuation and appraisal that such Pledgor now has or may at any time in
the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter
enacted.

 

The Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Pledgors 10 Business Days’
written notice (which each Pledgor agrees is reasonable notice within the
meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York 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 the 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 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 the case of any sale of
all or any part of the Pledged Collateral 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 the event that any such purchaser or
purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Pledged Collateral so sold and,
in the case of any such failure, such Pledged Collateral may be sold again upon
notice given in accordance with provisions above.  At any public (or, to the
extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 3.01, any
Secured Party may bid for or purchase for cash, free (to the extent permitted by
law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of
any Pledgor (all such rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent
permitted by law), the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale
and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain
and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Pledgor
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 no Pledgor shall 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 Foreign 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 New York UCC or its equivalent in other
jurisdictions.

 

Section 3.02.  Application of Proceeds.  The Collateral Agent shall apply the
proceeds, moneys or balances of any collection or sale of Pledged Collateral, as
well as any Pledged Collateral consisting of cash, as follows:

 

FIRST, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the Applicable Agent
and the Collateral Agent in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise
in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Foreign
Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents
and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Applicable Agent
and the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of
any Pledgor and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the
exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

 

SECOND, to the payment in full of the Foreign Obligations (the amounts so
applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with
the respective amounts of the Foreign Obligations owed to them on the date of
any such distribution); and

 

THIRD, to the Pledgors, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

 

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 purchase money by 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.

 

Section 3.03.  Securities Act, etc.  In view of the position of the Pledgors in
relation to the Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future
circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as now or
hereafter in effect, or any similar federal statute hereafter enacted analogous
in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time
in effect being called the “Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any
disposition of the Pledged Collateral permitted hereunder.  Each Pledgor
understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly
limit the course of conduct of

 

9

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

 

the Collateral Agent if the Collateral Agent were to attempt to dispose of all
or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which
or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could
dispose of the same.  Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or
limitations affecting the Collateral Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or
part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable Blue Sky or other state
securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect.  Each Pledgor
acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the
Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, (a) may proceed to make
such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of
registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under
the Federal Securities Laws or, to the extent applicable, Blue Sky or other
state securities laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential
purchaser to effect such sale.  Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any
such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller
than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions.  In the event of
any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability
for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that the
Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem
reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a
substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred
until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were
approached.  The provisions of this Section 3.03 will apply notwithstanding the
existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales
prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Collateral Agent sells.

 

Section 3.04.  Registration, etc.  Each Pledgor agrees that, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if for any reason the
Collateral Agent desires to sell any of the Pledged Collateral at a public sale,
it will, at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the
Collateral Agent, use its commercially reasonable efforts to take or to cause
the issuer of such Pledged Collateral to take such action and prepare,
distribute and/or file such documents, as are required or advisable in the
reasonable opinion of counsel for the Collateral Agent to permit the public sale
of such Pledged Collateral.  Each Pledgor further agrees to indemnify, defend
and hold harmless the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, each other
Secured Party, any underwriter and their respective officers, directors,
affiliates and controlling persons from and against all loss, liability,
expenses, costs of counsel (including reasonable fees and expenses to the
Collateral Agent of legal counsel), and claims (including the costs of
investigation) that they may incur insofar as such loss, liability, expense or
claim arises out of or is based upon any alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in any prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or in
any notification or offering circular, or arises out of or is based upon any
alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements in any thereof not misleading, except insofar
as the same may have been caused by any untrue statement or omission based upon
information furnished in writing to such Pledgor or the issuer of such Pledged
Collateral by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party expressly for use
therein.  Each Pledgor further agrees, upon such written request referred to
above, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify, file or register,
or cause the issuer of such Pledged Collateral to qualify, file or register, any
of the Pledged Collateral under the Blue Sky or other securities laws of such
states as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent and keep
effective, or cause to be kept effective, all such qualifications, filings or
registrations.  Each Pledgor will bear all costs and expenses of carrying out
its obligations under this Section 3.04.  Each Pledgor acknowledges that there
is no

 

10

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

 

adequate remedy at law for failure by it to comply with the provisions of this
Section 3.04 and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in
damages and, therefore, agrees that its agreements contained in this
Section 3.04 only may be specifically enforced.

 

ARTICLE IV

 

Miscellaneous

 

Section 4.01.  Notices.  All communications and notices hereunder shall (except
as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in
Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.  All communications and notices hereunder
to any Pledgor shall be given to it in care of the U.S. Borrower, with such
notice to be given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 4.02.  Security Interest Absolute.  All rights of the Collateral Agent
hereunder, the security interest in the Pledged Collateral granted hereunder and
all obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional
irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit
Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the
Foreign Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the
foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any
other term of, all or any of the Foreign Obligations, or any other amendment or
waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other
Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or
non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or
waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or
guaranteeing all or any of the Foreign Obligations or (d) any other circumstance
that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any
Pledgor in respect of the Foreign Obligations or this Agreement.

 

Section 4.03.  Survival of Agreement.  All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by the Pledgors in the Loan Documents and in
the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with
or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to
have been relied upon by the Revolving Credit Lenders and shall survive the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and the
issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any
Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or
knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or
warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any
accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under any
Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding
and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.

 

Section 4.04.  Binding Effect; Several Agreement.  This Agreement shall become
effective as to any party to this Agreement when a counterpart hereof executed
on behalf of such party shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent
and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral
Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such party and the Collateral Agent
and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to

 

11

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

 

the benefit of such party, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties
and their respective permitted successors and assigns, except that no party
shall 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 Credit Agreement.  This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement
with respect to each party and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or
released with respect to any party without the approval of any other party and
without affecting the obligations of any other party hereunder.

 

Section 4.05.  Successors and Assigns.  Whenever in this Agreement any of the
parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the
permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and
agreements by or on behalf of any Pledgor or the Collateral Agent that are
contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their
respective permitted successors and assigns.

 

Section 4.06.  Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.  (a)  The
parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to
reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 9.05 of
the Credit Agreement.

 

(b)  Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan
Documents, each Pledgor jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify the
Collateral Agent and the other Indemnitees (as defined in Section 9.05(b) of the
Credit Agreement) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable
counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any
Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the
execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance
by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or
the consummation of the Restatement Transactions and other transactions
contemplated hereby, (ii) the use of proceeds of the Loans or the use of any
Letter of Credit or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, or to the Pledged Collateral, whether or not
any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to
any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

 

(c)  Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Foreign
Obligations.  The provisions of this Section 4.06 shall remain operative and in
full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
the repayment of any of the Foreign Obligations, the invalidity or
unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or
any other Secured Party.  All amounts due under this Section 4.06 shall be
payable on written demand therefor.

 

Section 4.07.  Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.  Each Pledgor hereby
appoints the Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor for the
purpose of carrying out

 

12

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

 

the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any
instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled
with an interest.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution either in
the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Pledgor, (a) to receive,
endorse, assign or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money
orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Pledged Collateral or any
part thereof, (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and
give discharges and releases of all or any of the Pledged Collateral, (c) to ask
for, demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all
moneys due or to become due under and by virtue of any Pledged Collateral,
(d) to sign the name of any Pledgor on any invoice or bill of lading relating to
any of the Pledged Collateral, (e) to commence and prosecute any and all suits,
actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent
jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Pledged
Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Pledged Collateral, (f) to
settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings
relating to all or any of the Pledged Collateral, and (g) to sell, assign,
transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all
or any of the Pledged Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary
to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely 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 shall be responsible to any
Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross
negligence or wilful misconduct.

 

Section 4.08.  GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF
THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND
GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

Section 4.09.  Waivers; Amendment.  (a)  No failure or delay by the Applicable
Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any other Secured Party in
exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any such right, power or remedy, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps
to enforce such a right, power or remedy, preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  The rights, powers
and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank
and the other Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies that they
would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent
to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 4.09, and
then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and
for the

 

13

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

 

purpose for which given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as
a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may
have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. 
No notice or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party
to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

 

(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 the Loan Party or Loan Parties with respect to which
such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent
required in accordance with Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 4.10.  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER
OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.  EACH PARTY
HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER
PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD
NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND
(B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 4.10.

 

Section 4.11.  Severability.  In the event any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.  The parties shall endeavor in
good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as
possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

 

Section 4.12.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when
taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as
provided in Section 4.04.

 

Section 4.13.  Headings.  Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents
used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this
Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into
consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

 

Section 4.14.  Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.  (a)  Each party to
this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and
its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or
federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or for

 

14

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

 

recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any
such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or,
to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court.  Each of the parties
hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or
in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any
right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or
any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Pledgor, or its properties, in
the courts of any jurisdiction.

 

(b)  Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives,
to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that
it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document in any New York State or federal court.  Each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense
of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any
such court.

 

(c)  Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in
the manner provided for notices in Section 4.01.  Nothing in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to
serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 

Section 4.15.  Termination or Release.  (a)  This Agreement, the pledge
hereunder and all other security interests granted hereby and the pledge
hereunder shall terminate when all the Foreign Obligations constituting Foreign
Loan Document Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, the
Revolving Credit Lenders have no further commitment to lend to any Foreign
Subsidiary Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the Revolving L/C Exposure
has been reduced to zero.

 

(b)  A Pledgor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder
and the security interests in the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor shall be
automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the
Credit Agreement as a result of which such Pledgor ceases to be a subsidiary of
Holdings; provided that the Required Lenders shall have consented to such
transaction (to the extent such consent is required by the Credit Agreement) and
the terms of such consent did not provide otherwise.

 

(c)  Upon any sale or other transfer by any Pledgor of any Pledged Collateral
that is permitted under the Credit Agreement to any person that is not a
Pledgor, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the
security interest granted hereby in any Pledged Collateral pursuant to
Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement, the security interest in such Pledged
Collateral shall be automatically released.

 

(d)  Upon the commencement of any Collateral Release Period, pursuant to
Section 5.14(a) of the Credit Agreement, the security interest granted hereby in
the Collateral shall be automatically released; provided that upon the
termination of such Collateral Release Period, the security interest granted
hereby in the Collateral shall, without any further action on the part of the
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or any Loan Party, be reinstated.

 

15

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

 

(e)  In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a),
(b), (c) or (d) of this Section 4.15, the Collateral Agent shall execute and
deliver to any Pledgor, at such Pledgor’s expense, all documents that such
Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release.  Any
execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 4.15 shall be
without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.

 

Section 4.16.  Additional Subsidiaries.  Upon execution and delivery by the
Collateral Agent and any subsidiary that is required to become a party hereto by
Section 5.10 of the Credit Agreement of an instrument in the form of Exhibit I
hereto, such subsidiary shall become a Pledgor hereunder with the same force and
effect as if originally named as a Pledgor herein.  The execution and delivery
of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party to this
Agreement.  The rights and obligations of each party to this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new party to
this Agreement.

 

Section 4.17.  Additional Information.  Within 15 Business Days following the
date hereof (or such later date as the Collateral Agent deems appropriate), the
Pledgors shall supplement Schedule II with such additional information relating
to the Pledged Collateral as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request.
