SECTION 2.GUARANTEE




          2.1 Guarantee.




          (a) Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably,
guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and their
respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and
performance by the Borrowers when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) of the Borrower Obligations.




          (b) If and to the extent required in order for the Guarantor Obligations of any Guarantor to
be enforceable under applicable federal, state and other laws relating to the insolvency of
debtors, the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the greatest amount
which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under such laws, after giving effect to any rights of
contribution, reimbursement and subrogation arising under Section 2.2, without causing such
guarantee to be unenforceable or to be void or voidable under applicable fraudulent conveyance or
other laws of similar application. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent not
prohibited by applicable law, (i) such Guarantor (as opposed to its creditors, representatives of
creditors or bankruptcy trustee, including such Guarantor in its capacity as debtor in possession
exercising any powers of a bankruptcy trustee) has no personal right under such laws to reduce, or
request any judicial relief that has the effect of reducing, the amount of its liability under this
Agreement, (ii) such Guarantor (as opposed to its creditors, representatives of creditors or
bankruptcy trustee, including such Guarantor in its capacity as debtor in possession exercising any
powers of a bankruptcy trustee) has no personal right to enforce the limitation set forth in this
Section 2.1(b) or to reduce, or request judicial relief reducing, the amount of its liability under
this Agreement, and (iii) the limitation set forth in this Section 2.1(b) may be enforced only to
the extent required under such laws in order for the obligations of such Guarantor under this
Agreement to be enforceable under such laws and only by or for the benefit of a creditor,
representative of creditors or bankruptcy trustee of such Guarantor or other person entitled, under
such laws, to enforce the provisions thereof.




          (c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Borrower Obligations may at any time and from time to time
be incurred or permitted in an amount exceeding the maximum liability of such Guarantor under
Section 2.1(b) without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights
and remedies of any Secured Party hereunder.




          (d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until
payment in full of the Obligations, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the
Credit Agreement any of the Borrowers may be free from any Borrower Obligations.




          (e) No payment made by any of the Borrowers, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any
other person or received or collected by any Secured Party from any Borrower, any of the
Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any
set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in
payment of the Borrower Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect
the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than
any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower




10









 







Obligations or any payment received
or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations), remain liable for the
Borrower Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Borrower
Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreement) are paid in full,
no letter of credit shall be outstanding under the Credit Agreement and all commitments to extend
credit under the Credit Agreement shall have been terminated or have expired.




          2.2 Rights of Reimbursement, Contribution and Subrogation. In case any payment is
made on account of the Obligations by any Grantor or is received or collected on account of the
Obligations from any Grantor or its property:




          (a) If such payment is made by any Borrower or from its property, then, if and to the extent
such payment is made on account of Obligations arising from or relating to a Loan or other
extension of credit made to the Borrowers or a letter of credit issued for the account of any
Borrower, then, unless and until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (or
other assets which the Lenders, other than in connection with a bankruptcy or similar proceeding,
voluntarily accept as full satisfaction of the Obligations), the Borrowers shall not be entitled
(i) to demand or enforce reimbursement or contribution in respect of such payment from any other
Grantor or (ii) to be subrogated to any claim, interest, right or remedy of any Secured Party
against any other person, including any other Grantor or its property.




          (b) If such payment is made by a Guarantor or from its property, such Guarantor shall be
entitled, subject to and upon payment in full of the Obligations, (i) to demand and enforce
reimbursement for the full amount of such payment from the Borrowers and (ii) to demand and enforce
contribution in respect of such payment from each other Guarantor that has not paid its fair share
of such payment, as necessary to ensure that (after giving effect to any enforcement of
reimbursement rights provided hereby) each Guarantor pays its fair share of the unreimbursed
portion of such payment. For this purpose, the fair share of each Guarantor as to any unreimbursed
payment shall be determined based on an equitable apportionment of such unreimbursed payment among
all Guarantors based on the relative value of their assets and any other equitable considerations
deemed appropriate by a court of competent jurisdiction.




          (c) If and whenever (after payment in full of the Obligations) any right of reimbursement or
contribution becomes enforceable by any Grantor against any other Grantor under Sections 2.2(a) and
2.2(b), such Grantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon payment in
full of the Obligations, to be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Grantors
entitled to reimbursement or contribution from any other Grantor as set forth in this Section 2.2)
to any security interest that may then be held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral
granted to it in this Agreement. Such right of subrogation shall be enforceable solely against the
Grantors, and not against the Secured Parties, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any other
Secured Party shall have any duty whatsoever to warrant, ensure or protect any such right of
subrogation or to obtain, perfect, maintain, hold, enforce or retain any Collateral for any purpose
related to any such right of subrogation. If subrogation is demanded by any Grantor, then (after
payment in full of the Obligations) the Administrative Agent shall promptly following demand
deliver to the Grantors making such demand, or to a representative of such Grantors or of the
Grantors generally, an instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Grantor and the Administrative
Agent transferring, on a quitclaim basis without any recourse, representation, warranty or




11









 







obligation whatsoever, whatever security interest the Administrative Agent then may hold in
whatever Collateral may then exist that was not previously released or disposed of by the
Administrative Agent.




          (d) All rights and claims arising under this Section 2.2 or based upon or relating to any
other right of reimbursement, indemnification, contribution or subrogation that may at any time
arise or exist in favor of any Grantor as to any payment on account of the Obligations made by it
or received or collected from its property shall be fully subordinated in all respects to the prior
payment in full of all of the Obligations. Until payment in full of the Obligations, no Grantor
shall demand or receive any collateral security, payment or distribution whatsoever (whether in
cash, property or securities or otherwise) on account of any such right or claim. If any such
payment or distribution is made or becomes available to any Grantor in any bankruptcy case or
receivership, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, such payment or distribution shall be delivered
by the person making such payment or distribution directly to the Administrative Agent, for
application to the payment of the Obligations. If any such payment or distribution is received by
any Grantor, it shall be held by such Grantor in trust, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and
shall forthwith be transferred and delivered by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, in the
exact form received and, if necessary, duly endorsed.




          (e) The obligations of the Grantors under the Loan Documents, including their liability for
the Obligations and the enforceability of the security interests granted thereby, are not
contingent upon the validity, legality, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of any right
of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation arising under this Section 2.2. The invalidity,
insufficiency, unenforceability or uncollectibility of any such right shall not in any respect
diminish, affect or impair any such obligation or any other claim, interest, right or remedy at any
time held by any Secured Party against any Guarantor or its property. The Secured Parties make no
representations or warranties in respect of any such right and shall have no duty to assure,
protect, enforce or ensure any such right or otherwise relating to any such right.




          (f) Each Grantor reserves any and all other rights of reimbursement, contribution or
subrogation at any time available to it as against any other Grantor, but (i) the exercise and
enforcement of such rights shall be subject to Section 2.2(d) and (ii) neither the Administrative
Agent nor any other Secured Party shall ever have any duty or liability whatsoever in respect of
any such right, except as provided in Section 2.2(c).




          2.3 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Borrower Obligations. Each Guarantor shall
remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any
Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any
of the Borrower Obligations made by any Secured Party may be rescinded by such Secured Party and
any of the Borrower Obligations continued, and the Borrower Obligations, or the liability of any
other person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or
right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed,
increased, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released
by any Secured Party, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents
executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or
terminated, in whole or in part, as the




12









 







parties thereto may deem advisable from time to time, and
any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by any Secured Party for the
payment of the Borrower Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.
Except to the extent required by any non-waivable provisions of the New York UCC, no Secured Party
shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as
security for the Borrower Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any
property subject thereto.




          2.4 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of
the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Borrower Obligations and notice of or
proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance
of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Borrower Obligations, and any of them, shall
conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended
or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between any
of the Borrowers and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other
hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the
guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest,
demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any of the Borrowers or any of
the Guarantors with respect to the Borrower Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees
that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and
unconditional guarantee of payment and performance without regard to (a) the validity or
enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Borrower Obligations
or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at
any time or from time to time held by any Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim
(other than a defense of payment or performance hereunder) which may at any time be available to or
be asserted by any of the Borrowers or any other person against any Secured Party, or (c) any other
circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any of the Borrowers or such
Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge
of any Borrower for the Borrower Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in
this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or
otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, any Secured Party may,
but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and
remedies as it may have against any Borrower,
any other Guarantor or any other person or against any collateral security or guarantee for
the Borrower Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by any
Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any
payments from any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other person or to realize upon any such
collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any
Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other person or any such collateral security, guarantee or
right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and
shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a
matter of law, of any Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall
include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.




          2.5 Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be
effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of




13









 







any of the Borrower Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any
Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any
Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or
conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial
part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.




          2.6 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid
to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars in immediately available
funds at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in the Credit Agreement.

each case which is owned by such Grantor in its own name on the date hereof (collectively, the
“Registered Intellectual Property”). Except as set forth in Schedule 4.9, such Grantor is
the exclusive owner of the entire and
unencumbered right, title and interest in and to all such Registered Intellectual Property and
is otherwise entitled to use, and grant to others the right to use, all such Registered
Intellectual Property subject only to the license terms of the licensing or franchise agreements
referred to in paragraph (c) below. Such Grantor has the right to use all Intellectual Property
which it uses in its business, but does not own (collectively, the “Licensed Intellectual
Property”).




          (b) On the date hereof, except as set forth on Schedule 4.9, all Registered Intellectual
Property is subsisting and unexpired and has not been abandoned. To such Grantor’s knowledge,
neither the operation of such Grantor’s business as currently conducted or as contemplated to be

Property which is material to such Grantor’s business (collectively, the “Material Intellectual
Property”) in connection therewith conflicts with, infringes, misappropriates, dilutes, misuses
or otherwise violates the Intellectual Property rights of any other person.




          (a) Except as set forth in Schedule 4.9, on the date hereof (i) none of the Owned Intellectual
Property is the subject of any licensing or franchise agreement pursuant to which such Grantor is

which affect the use of any Owned Intellectual Property.




          (b) To such Grantor’s knowledge, no claim has been asserted that the use of such Material
Intellectual Property does or may infringe upon the rights of any third party.




          (c) To such Grantor’s knowledge, no holding, decision or judgment has been rendered by any
Governmental Authority or arbitrator in the United States or outside the United States which would
limit, cancel or question the validity or enforceability of, or such Grantor’s rights in, any Owned

Property that could reasonably be expected to lead to such item becoming invalid or unenforceable
including unauthorized uses by third parties and uses which were not supported by the goodwill of
the business connected with Trademarks and Trademark Licenses.




          (d) No action or proceeding is pending, or, to such Grantor’s knowledge, threatened, on the
date hereof (i) seeking to limit, cancel or question the validity of any Owned Intellectual
Property, (ii) alleging that any services provided by, processes used by, or products manufactured
or sold by such Grantor infringe any patent, trademark, copyright, or any other right of any other
person, (iii) alleging that any Material Intellectual Property is being licensed,

used in violation of any intellectual property or any other right of any other person, or (iv)
which, if adversely determined, would have a Material Adverse Effect on the value of any Owned
Intellectual Property. To such Grantor’s knowledge, no person is engaging in any activity that
infringes upon, or is otherwise an unauthorized use of, any Owned Intellectual Property or upon the
rights of such Grantor therein. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.9, such Grantor has not granted
any license, release, covenant not to sue, non-assertion assurance, or other right to any person
with respect to any part of the Owned Intellectual Property. The consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (including the enforcement of remedies) will not result in the
termination or impairment of any of the Material Intellectual Property.




          (e) With respect to each Copyright License, Trademark License, Trade Secret License and Patent
License which relates to Material Intellectual Property or the loss of which could otherwise have a
Material Adverse Effect: (i) such license is in full force and effect and represents the entire
agreement between the respective licensor and licensee with respect to the subject matter of such
license; (ii) such license will not cease to be in full force and effect on terms identical to
those currently in effect as a result of the rights and interests granted herein, nor will the
grant of such rights and interests constitute a breach or default under such license or otherwise
give the licensor or licensee a right to terminate such license; (iii) such Grantor has not
received any notice of termination or cancellation under such license; (iv) such Grantor has not
received any notice of a breach or default under such license, which breach or default has not been
cured; (v) such Grantor has not granted to any other person any rights, adverse or otherwise, under
such license; and (vi) such Grantor is not in breach or default in any material respect, and no
event has occurred that, with notice and/or lapse of time, would constitute such a breach or
default or permit termination, modification or acceleration under such license.




          (f) Except as set forth in Schedule 4.9, such Grantor has performed all acts and has paid all
required fees and taxes to maintain each and every item of Owned Intellectual Property in full
force and effect and to protect and maintain its interest therein. Such Grantor has used
commercially reasonable efforts to provide proper statutory notice consistent with industry
standards in connection with its use of each Patent and Trademark that is material to its business
and included in the Owned Intellectual Property. 




          (g) To such Grantor’s knowledge, (i) none of the Trade Secrets owned by such Grantor that are
material to its business have been used, divulged, disclosed or appropriated to the detriment of
such Grantor for the benefit of any other person; (ii) no employee, independent contractor or agent
of such Grantor has misappropriated any trade secrets of any other person in the course of the
performance of his or her duties as an employee, independent contractor or agent of such Grantor;
and (iii) no employee, independent contractor or agent of such Grantor is in default or breach of
any term of any employment agreement, non-disclosure agreement, assignment of inventions agreement
or similar agreement or contract relating in any way to the protection, ownership, development, use
or transfer of Intellectual Property material to such Grantor’s business




          (h) Such Grantor has made all filings and recordations reasonably necessary to protect its
interest in its Registered Intellectual Property, including recordation of its interests




20









 







in the Patents and Trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and in corresponding
national and international patent offices.




          (i) Such Grantor has taken all commercially reasonable steps to use consistent standards of
quality in the manufacture, distribution and sale of all products sold and provision of all
services provided under or in connection with any Trademark owned by such Grantor and has taken all
commercially reasonable steps to ensure that all licensed users of any such Trademark use such
consistent standards of quality.




          (j) No Grantor is subject to any settlement or consents, judgment, injunction, order, decree,
covenants not to sue, non-assertion assurances or releases that would impair such Grantor’s rights
in any Owned Intellectual Property.

excess of $100,000 that are by their terms transferable, each Grantor has caused (or, in the case
of the Letters of Credit that are specified on Schedule 4.10 on the date hereof, will use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause) all issuers and nominated persons under Letters of Credit
in which the Grantor is the beneficiary or assignee to consent to the assignment of such Letter of
Credit to the Administrative Agent and has agreed that upon the occurrence of a an Event of Default
it shall cause all payments thereunder to be made to the Collateral Account. With respect to any
Letters of Credit with a value in excess of $100,000 that are not transferable, each Grantor shall
obtain (or, in the case of the Letters of Credit that are specified on Schedule 4.10 on the date
hereof, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain) the consent of the issuer thereof and any
nominated person thereon to the assignment of the proceeds of the released Letter of Credit to the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 5-114(c) of the New York UCC.

ineffective pursuant to Section 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the UCC of any relevant
jurisdiction or any other applicable law or principles of equity.




          (c) Each Material Contract is in full force and effect and constitutes a valid and legally
enforceable obligation of the Grantor party thereto and (to the best of such Grantor’s knowledge)
each other party thereto, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’
rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity
or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

under the control (within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the New York UCC) of the Administrative
Agent.




          (h) Except as expressly set forth on Schedule 4.12(b) with respect to the “Headwaters

Holdings or the Administrative Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the Investment Property
constituting Collateral or Proceeds thereof or any interest therein or (iv) cause or permit

purposes of the New York UCC) on the date hereof to elect or otherwise take any action to cause

exceeds the economic benefit of complying with this subsection 5.10(a)(i), (ii) use such Trademark
with all notices and legends required by applicable Requirements of Law, (iii) not adopt or use any

Administrative Agent after it learns thereof and sue for infringement, misappropriation or

infringement, misappropriation or dilution, except to the extent that such Grantor demonstrates to
the Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction that the economic benefit of
not suing for infringement, misappropriation or dilution exceeds the economic benefit of
taking any such action.

Intellectual Property which is not, as of the Closing Date, a part of the Intellectual Property
Collateral (the “After-Acquired Intellectual Property”), (i) the provisions of Section 3 shall

accordance herewith, and (iv) it shall provide the Administrative Agent promptly (and, in any event
within five Business Days after the last day of the fiscal quarter in which such Grantor acquires
such ownership interest) with an amended Schedule 4.9 and take the actions specified in 5.9(m).

promptly of any Commercial Tort Claim held by such Grantor individually or in the aggregate in

SECTION 6. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS




          6.1 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables. (a) The Administrative Agent hereby
authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables, subject, following the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the Administrative Agent’s direction and
control, and each Grantor hereby agrees to continue to collect all amounts due or to become due to
such Grantor under the Receivables and any Supporting Obligation in the ordinary course of business
consistent with past practice; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may
curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default. If required by the Administrative Agent at any time after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any
Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such
Grantor in the exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent if
required, in a Collateral
Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, subject to
withdrawal by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided in
Section 6.5, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured
Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor.




     (b) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the
Administrative Agent’s request, each Grantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent all original
and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to
the Receivables that are included in the Collateral, including all original orders, invoices and
shipping receipts.



          6.2 Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable.




          (a) The Administrative Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with obligors under
the Receivables and parties to the Contracts to verify with them to the Administrative Agent’s
satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables or Contracts.




          (b) The Administrative Agent may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default or at any other time with the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld or delayed) notify, or require any Grantor to so




31









 







notify, the Account
Debtor or counterparty on any Receivable or Contract of the security interest of the Administrative
Agent therein. In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Administrative Agent may upon written notice to the applicable Grantor, notify, or
require any Grantor to notify, the Account Debtor or counterparty to make all payments under the
Receivables and/or Contracts directly to the Administrative Agent.




          (c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under
each of the Receivables and Contracts to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to
be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement
giving rise thereto. No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable
(or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or
the receipt by any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall any Secured Party be
obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any
Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract, to make any payment, to make any
inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency
of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to
enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it
or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.




          6.3 Pledged Securities. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor or Holdings
of the Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.3(b),
each Grantor and Holdings shall be permitted to receive all dividends or distributions (except for
dividends or distributions of additional equity interests) paid in respect of the Pledged Equity
Interests and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, to the extent permitted in the
Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and rights with respect to the Pledged
Securities; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other
ownership right exercised or other action taken which would be materially inconsistent with or
result in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document.




     (b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing: (i) all rights of each Grantor and
Holdings, as applicable, to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual
rights which they would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease and all such
rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent who shall thereupon have the sole
right, but shall be under no obligation, to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and
other consensual rights and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have the right, without notice to
any Grantor or Holdings, to transfer all or any portion of the Investment Property to its name or
the name of its nominee or agent. In order to permit the Administrative Agent to exercise the
voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to
receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder each
Grantor and Holdings, as applicable, shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed
and delivered) to the Administrative Agent all proxies, dividend payment orders and other
instruments as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request and each Grantor
and Holdings acknowledge that the Administrative Agent may utilize the power of attorney set forth
herein.



32









 





     (c) Each Grantor and Holdings hereby authorize and instruct each Issuer of any Pledged
Securities pledged by such Grantor or Holdings hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction
received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
without any other or further instructions from such Grantor or Holdings, and each Grantor and
Holdings agree that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) upon any such
instruction following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, pay any
dividends or other payments with respect to the Investment Property, including Pledged Securities,
directly to the Administrative Agent.



          6.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Administrative Agent. In addition to the rights of
the Secured Parties specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event
of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor or Holdings (solely
in connection with the Pledged Shares held by Holdings in Palco) consisting of cash, Cash
Equivalents, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor or Holdings, as
applicable, in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor and
shall, following notice to the Borrowers from the Administrative Agent, forthwith upon receipt by
such Grantor or Holdings, as applicable, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact
form received by such Grantor or Holdings (duly endorsed by such Grantor or Holdings, as
applicable, to the Administrative Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Administrative
Agent hereunder shall be held by the
Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control.
All Proceeds while held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor or
Holdings in trust for the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all
the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.5.




          6.5 Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, at any time at the Administrative Agent’s election, the Administrative Agent may apply
all or any part of the net Proceeds (after deducting fees and expenses as provided in Section 6.6)
constituting Collateral realized through the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its remedies
hereunder, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and any proceeds of the guarantee set
forth in Section 2, in payment of the Obligations in the following order:





     First, to the Administrative Agent, to pay incurred and unpaid fees and
expenses of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents;




     Second, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards payment of
amounts then due and owing and remaining unpaid in respect of the Obligations, pro
rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts of the Obligations then due
and owing and remaining unpaid to the Secured Parties;




     Third, any balance of such Proceeds and proceeds from the guarantee remaining
after the Obligations shall have been paid in full, no letters of credit issued under the
Credit Agreement shall be outstanding and the Commitments under the Credit Agreement shall
have terminated or expired shall be paid over to the Grantors or to whomsoever may be
lawfully entitled to receive the same.



33









 





          6.6 Code and Other Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition
to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or
agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured
party under the New York UCC (whether or not the New York UCC applies to the affected Collateral)
or its rights under any other applicable law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent,
without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any
kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor, Holdings or any
other person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived
to the extent permitted by applicable law), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive,
appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease,
license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the
Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at
public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party or
elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem
best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.
Each Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent
permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the
Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor or Holdings, as
applicable, which right or equity is hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by
applicable law. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from
any claim or right on the part of any Grantor or Holdings and each Grantor and Holdings hereby
waive (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal
which they now have or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now
existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor and Holdings agree that, to the extent notice of sale
shall be required by law, at least ten days notice to such Grantor or Holdings, as applicable, of
the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall
constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any
sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may
adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed
therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was
so adjourned. The Administrative Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to
the Collateral. The Administrative Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of
title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely effect the commercial
reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Each Grantor and Holdings agree that it would not be
commercially unreasonable for the Administrative Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion
thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the
Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of
assets. Each Grantor and Holdings hereby waive any claims against the Administrative Agent arising
by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private
sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the
Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more
than one offeree. Each Grantor and Holdings further agree, at the Administrative Agent’s request,
to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the
Administrative Agent shall




34









 







reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s or Holdings’ premises, as
applicable, or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to the extent permitted by
applicable law to enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession
thereof with or without judicial process.




     (b) The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant
to this Section 6.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in
connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any
way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, to the
payment in whole or in part of the Obligations and only after such application and after the
payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including
Section 9-615(a) of the New York UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if
any, to any Grantor or Holdings. If the Administrative Agent sells any of the Collateral upon
credit, the Grantor or Holdings, as applicable, will be credited only with payments actually made
by the purchaser and received by the Administrative Agent and applied to Indebtedness of the
purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Administrative Agent
may resell the Collateral and the Grantor or Holdings, as applicable, shall be credited with
Proceeds of the sale. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, each Grantor and Holdings waive all claims, damages and demands they may acquire against
any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder, except to the extent
that such claims, damages and demands are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final
and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from primarily the gross negligence, willful misconduct
or bad faith of such Secured Party.



     (c) In the event of any disposition of any of the Intellectual Property, the goodwill of the
business connected with and symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such Disposition shall be
included, and the applicable Grantor shall supply the Administrative Agent or its designee with
such Grantor’s know-how and expertise, and with documents and things embodying the same, relating
to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products or the provision of services
relating to any Intellectual Property subject to such disposition, and such Grantor’s customer
lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property and to the
manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of such products and services.



          6.7 Registration Rights. (a) Each Grantor and Holdings recognize that the
Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Equity
Interests or the Pledged Debt Securities, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to
one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to
agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not
with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor and Holdings acknowledge and agree
that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale
were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall
be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative Agent shall be
under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity Interests or the Pledged Debt
Securities for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer




35









 







thereof to register such
securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws,
even if such Issuer would agree to do so.




     (b) Each Grantor and Holdings agree to use their best efforts to do or cause to be done all
such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged
Equity Interests or the Pledged Debt Securities pursuant to this Section 6.7 are valid and binding
and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor and Holdings
further agree that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 will cause
irreparable injury to the Secured Parties, that the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law
in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this
Section 6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor or Holdings, as applicable, and
such Grantor and/or Holdings, as applicable, hereby waive and agree not to assert any defenses
against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreement or a defense of payment.



          6.8 Deficiency. Each Grantor or Holdings, as applicable, shall remain liable for any
deficiency if the Proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to
pay its Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any
Secured Party to collect such deficiency in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.




SECTION 7. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT




          7.1 Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. (a) Each Grantor
and Holdings hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint each of Administrative Agent and any officer
or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as their true and lawful attorney-in-fact with
full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor or Holdings, as
applicable, and in the name of such Grantor or Holdings, as applicable, or in its own name, for the
purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents
and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement,
and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor and Holdings hereby give the
Administrative Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
power and right, on behalf of such Grantor and Holdings, without notice to or assent by such
Grantor, to do any or all of the following:





          (i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and
endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the
payment of moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to any other
Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or
equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of
collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to
any other Collateral whenever payable;




          (ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded,
any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the



36









 






Administrative Agent may
request to evidence the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property and
the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented
thereby;




          (iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the
Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement
and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;




          (iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.7 or 6.8, any
endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the
Collateral; and




          (v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make
payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder
directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; (2)
ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys,
claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of
any Collateral; (3) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of
lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications,
notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and
prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent
jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right
in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such
Grantor or Holdings with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any
such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or
releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent
or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or
Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in
such manner, as the Administrative Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8)
generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal
with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were
the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent’s option
and such Grantor’s or Holdings’ expense, as applicable, at any time, or from time to time,
all acts and things which the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or
realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to
effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor or
Holdings might do.



     Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent agrees
that, except as provided in Section 7.1(b), it will not exercise any rights under the power of
attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing.



          (b) If any Grantor or Holdings fail to perform or comply with any of their agreements
contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may
perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement;
provided, however, that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or




37









 







time is of the essence, the Administrative Agent shall not exercise this power without first
making demand on the Grantor or Holdings, as applicable, and the Grantor or Holdings failing to
promptly comply therewith.




          (c) The expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as
provided in this Section 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate
per annum at which interest would then be payable on ABR Loans under the Credit Agreement, plus
2.00% from the date of payment to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor or Holdings, and
shall be payable by such Grantor or Holdings on demand.




          (d) Each Grantor and Holdings hereby ratify all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause
to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement
are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the
security interests created hereby are released.




          7.2 Duty of Administrative Agent . The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect
to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under
Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the
Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Administrative
Agent nor any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners,
employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable
for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so
or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of
any Grantor, Holdings or any other person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the
Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Secured Parties hereunder are solely
to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any
Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for
amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor
any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors,
attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act
hereunder, except to the extent that any such act or failure to act is found by a final and
nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from their
own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.




          7.3 Execution of Financing Statements. Each Grantor acknowledges that pursuant to
Section 9-509(b) of the New York UCC and any other applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the
Administrative Agent to file or record financing or continuation statements, and amendments
thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral,
without the signature of such Grantor, in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent
of the Credit Agreement reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of
the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor agrees that
such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described in the
Security Documents or as “all assets” or “all personal property,” whether now owned or hereafter
existing or acquired or such other description as the Administrative Agent of the Credit Agreement,
in its sole judgment, determines is necessary or advisable. If permitted by applicable law, a
photographic or other reproduction of this




38









 







Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement
or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction
where so permitted.




          7.4 Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Grantor and Holdings acknowledge that the
rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative
Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement or
under this Agreement of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy
provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such
other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between
the Administrative
Agent and the Grantors and/or Holdings, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively
presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or
refrain from acting, and no Grantor or Holdings shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to
make any inquiry respecting such authority.




          7.5 Appointment of Co-Administrative Agents. At any time or from time to time, in
order to comply with any Requirement of Law, the Administrative Agent may appoint another bank or
trust company or one of more other persons, either to act as co-agent or agents on behalf of the
Secured Parties with such power and authority as may be necessary for the effectual operation of
the provisions hereof and which may be specified in the instrument of appointment (which may, in
the discretion of the Administrative Agent, include provisions for indemnification and similar
protections of such co-agent or separate agent).




SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS




          8.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be
waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each
affected Grantor or Holdings, if applicable, and the Administrative Agent, subject to any consents
required under Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any provision of this
Agreement imposing obligations on any Grantor or Holdings may be waived by the Administrative Agent
in a written instrument executed by the Administrative Agent.




          8.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent,
any Grantor hereunder or Holdings shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 9.01 of
the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any
Guarantor or Holdings shall be addressed to such Guarantor or Holdings, as applicable, at its
notice address set forth on Schedule 8.2.




          8.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Party shall by
any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or
otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any
Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of
any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No
single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,




39









 







power or privilege. A waiver by any
Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar
to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The
rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative,
may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies
provided by law.




          8.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Grantor and Holdings agree to
pay or reimburse each Secured Party for all its reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
collecting against such Grantor or Holdings under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise
enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which any
Grantor is a party, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to each Secured
Party and of counsel to the Administrative Agent, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the
Credit Agreement.




          (b) Each Grantor and Holdings agree to pay, and to hold the Secured Parties harmless from, any
and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to, or resulting from any
delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined
to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.




          (a) Each Grantor and Holdings agree to pay, and to hold the Secured Parties harmless from, any
and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery,
enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent the Borrowers would be
required to do so pursuant to Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement.




          (b) The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other
amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.




          8.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and
assigns of each Grantor and Holdings and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and
their successors and assigns; provided that, except as expressly permitted by the terms of
the Credit Agreement, no Grantor or Holdings may assign, transfer or delegate any of their rights
or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent,
and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.




          8.6 Set-Off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each
Secured Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent
prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Secured
Party to or for the credit or the account of any Grantor or Holdings against any of and all the
obligations of any Grantor or Holdings now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other
Loan Documents held by such Secured Party, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party shall
have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although




40









 







such obligations
may be unmatured. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 8.6 are in addition to
other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Secured Party may have.




          8.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to
this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile), and all of said
counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.




          8.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.




          8.9 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience
of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in
the interpretation hereof.




          8.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement
of the Grantors, Holdings, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to
the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or
warranties by any Secured Party relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set
forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.




          8.11 APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND
GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PERFECTION OF ANY
SECURITY INTEREST HEREUNDER, OR ANY REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE
PURSUANT TO MANDATORY CHOICE OF LAW RULES GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN NEW
YORK.




          8.12 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Grantor and Holdings hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally:




          (a) submit for themselves and their property in any legal action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which they are a party, or for recognition and
enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general
jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of
America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;




          (b) consent that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waive any
objection that they may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any
such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agree not to
plead or claim the same;




          (c) agree that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing
a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar




41









 







form of mail), postage
prepaid, to such Grantor or Holdings at their address referred to in Section 8.2 or at such other
address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;




          (d) agree that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other
manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and




          (e) waive, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right they may have to claim or
recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary,
punitive or consequential damages.




          8.13 Acknowledgments. Each Grantor and Holdings hereby acknowledge that:




          (a) they have been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which they are a party;




          (b) no Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor or Holdings
arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the
relationship between the Grantors and Holdings, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the
other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and




          (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by
virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the Grantors and
the Secured Parties.




          8.14 Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of any of the Borrowers that is required to
become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.09 of the Credit Agreement shall become a
Grantor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an
Assumption Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.




          8.15 Releases. (a) At such time as the Loans and the other Obligations (other than
Obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreement) shall have been paid in full, the
commitments under the Credit Agreement have been terminated or expired and no letter of credit
issued under the Credit Agreement shall be outstanding, the Collateral shall be released from the
Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to
survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent, each Grantor hereunder and Holdings shall
terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all
rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors and Holdings, as applicable. At the request
and sole expense of any Grantor or Holdings following any such termination, the Administrative
Agent shall deliver to such Grantor or Holdings, as applicable, any Collateral held by the
Administrative Agent hereunder, and execute and deliver to such Grantor or Holdings such documents
as such Grantor or Holdings shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.




     (b) If any of the Collateral shall be sold or otherwise disposed of by any Grantor in a
transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, then the Administrative Agent, at the request and



42









 







sole expense of a Grantor shall execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases or other documents
reasonably necessary for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral. At the
request and sole expense of the Borrowers, a Guarantor shall be released from its obligations
hereunder in the event that all the equity interests in such Guarantor shall be sold or otherwise
disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement; provided that the Borrowers
shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at least five Business Days prior to the date of
the proposed release, a written request for such release identifying the relevant Guarantor and
such other information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, together with a
certification by the Borrowers stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.



     (c) Each Grantor and Holdings acknowledge that they are not authorized to file any financing
statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement originally
filed in connection herewith without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, subject
to such Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the New York UCC.



          8.16 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GRANTOR, HOLDINGS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREBY
