          (iii) it shall perform in all material respects all of its obligations with respect to

Receivable, any Supporting Obligation or Collateral Support, in each case, at its own
expense, and in connection with such collections and exercise, such Grantor shall take such
action as such Grantor or the Collateral Agent may deem necessary. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right upon written notice (which, if no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be no less than two Business
Days’ prior written notice) to notify, or require any Grantor to notify, any Account Debtor
of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Receivables and any Supporting
Obligation and, in addition, at any time following the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may: (1) direct the Account
Debtors under any Receivables to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to such
Grantor thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent; and (2) enforce, at the expense of
such Grantor, collection of any such Receivables and to adjust, settle or compromise the
amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor has

indorsed to the Collateral Agent or indorsed in blank: (i) with respect to any such Receivables in
existence on the date hereof, on or prior to the date hereof and (ii) with respect to any such
Receivables hereafter arising, within ten (10) days of such Grantor acquiring




16

constitute “electronic chattel paper” under Article 9 of the UCC, each Grantor shall take all steps
necessary to give the Collateral Agent control over such Receivables (within the meaning of Section
9-105 of the UCC): (i) with respect to any such Receivables in existence on the date hereof, on or
prior to the date hereof and (ii) with respect to any such Receivables hereafter arising, within
ten (10) days of such Grantor acquiring rights therein. Any Receivable not otherwise required to
be delivered or subjected to the control of the Collateral Agent in accordance with this subsection

Agent.




     4.4 Investment Related Property.



          4.4.1 Investment Related Property Generally




          (a) Covenants and Agreements. Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that, subject
to the Intercreditor Agreement:





          (i) in the event it acquires rights in any Investment Related Property after the date
hereof, it shall promptly deliver to the Collateral Agent a completed Pledge Supplement,
substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, together with all Supplements to
Schedules thereto, reflecting such new Investment Related Property and all other Investment
Related Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the
security interest of the Collateral Agent shall attach to all Investment Related Property
immediately upon any Grantor’s acquisition of rights therein and shall not be affected by
the failure of any Grantor to deliver a supplement to Schedule 4.4 as required hereby;




          (ii) except as provided in the next sentence, in the event such Grantor receives any
dividends, interest or distributions on any Investment Related Property, or any securities
or other property upon the merger, consolidation, winding up, liquidation or dissolution of
any issuer of any Investment Related Property, then (a) such dividends, interest or
distributions and securities or other property shall promptly be included in the definition
of Collateral without further action and (b) such Grantor shall promptly take all steps, if
any, necessary or advisable to ensure the validity, perfection, priority and, if
applicable, control of the Collateral Agent over such Investment Related Property
(including, without limitation, delivery thereof to the Collateral Agent) and pending any
such action such Grantor shall be deemed to hold such dividends, interest, distributions,
securities or other property for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall segregate
such dividends, distributions, Securities or other property from all other property of such
Grantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default
shall have occurred
and be continuing, to the extent permitted to do so under Section 5.12 of the Credit
Agreement, each Grantor may retain all ordinary cash dividends and distributions paid in
the normal course of the business of the issuer and all scheduled payments of interest;




          (iii) each Grantor consents to the grant by each other Grantor of a Security Interest
in all Investment Related Property to the Collateral Agent; and




          (iv) each Grantor agrees that it shall not grant “control” (within the meaning of such
term under Article 9-106 of the UCC) over any Investment Related Property to any Person
other than the Collateral Agent, except as otherwise permitted by



17









 






the Credit Agreement and
subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Revolving Collateral Agent.



          (b) Delivery and Control.





          (i) Each Grantor agrees that with respect to any Investment Related Property in which
it currently has rights it shall comply with the provisions of this Section 4.4.1(b) on or
before the Closing Date and with respect to any Investment Related Property hereafter
acquired by such Grantor it shall promptly comply with the provisions of this Section
4.4.1(b) immediately upon acquiring rights therein, in each case in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. With respect to any Investment Related
Property that is represented by a certificate or that is an “instrument” (other than any
Investment Related Property credited to a Securities Account) it shall cause such
certificate or instrument to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, indorsed in blank by an
“effective indorsement” (as defined in Section 8-107 of the UCC), regardless of whether
such certificate constitutes a “certificated security” for purposes of the UCC. With
respect to any Investment Related Property that is an “uncertificated security” for
purposes of the UCC issued by an issuer organized under the laws of the U.S. or any state
thereof (other than any “uncertificated securities” credited to a Securities Account), it
shall cause the issuer of such uncertificated security to either (i) register the
Collateral Agent as the registered owner thereof on the books and records of the issuer or
(ii) execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, pursuant to which
such issuer agrees to comply with the Collateral Agent’s instructions with respect to such
uncertificated security without further consent by such Grantor.



          (c) Voting and Distributions.





          (i) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:




	(1)	 	except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in the Credit Agreement, each Grantor shall
be entitled to exercise or refrain from exercising any and all voting and other consensual
rights pertaining to the Investment Related Property or any part thereof for any purpose not
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement; provided, no Grantor
shall exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if the Collateral Agent shall have
notified such Grantor that, in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable judgment, such action would
have a Material Adverse Effect; and provided further, such Grantor shall give the Collateral
Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice of the manner in which it intends
to exercise, or the reasons for refraining from exercising, any such right in such
circumstances described in the preceding proviso;
it being understood, however, that neither
the voting by such Grantor of any Pledged Stock for, or such Grantor’s consent to, the
election of directors (or similar governing body) at a regularly scheduled annual or other
meeting of stockholders or with respect to ordinary course of business matters at any such
meeting, nor such Grantor’s consent to or approval of any action otherwise permitted under
this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, shall be deemed inconsistent with the terms of this
Agreement or the Credit Agreement within the meaning of this Section 4.4(c)(i)(1), and no
notice of any such voting or consent need be given to the Collateral Agent; and






	(2)	 	the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and
delivered) to each Grantor all proxies, and other instruments as such Grantor may from




18









 






	 	 	time to
time reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and

to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any
Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails
to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.


SECTION 6. COLLATERAL AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.




     6.1 Power of Attorney.



          (a) Until payment in full in cash of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent
obligations for which no claim has been asserted) and the cancellation or termination of the
Commitments, each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent (such appointment being
coupled with an interest) as such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and
stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, the Collateral Agent or otherwise, from time
to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that
the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the following:





          (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to obtain
and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor or paid to the Collateral
Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement;




          (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to ask
for, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts
for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;




          (iii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to
receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper
in connection with clause (b) above;




          (iv) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to file
any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Collateral Agent may
deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to
enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;




          (v) to prepare and file any UCC financing statements against such Grantor as debtor;
provided that the Lenders shall be responsible for the filing, form and content of such UCC
financing statements filed on or around the Closing Date;




          (vi) to prepare, sign, and file for recordation in any intellectual property registry,
appropriate evidence of the lien and security interest granted herein in the Intellectual
Property in the name of such Grantor as debtor;




          (vii) to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to perform or comply or cause
performance or compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation,
access to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Permitted Liens) levied or placed
upon or threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts
necessary to discharge the same to be determined by the Collateral Agent in its sole
discretion, any such payments made by the Collateral Agent to become



29









 






obligations of such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, due and payable immediately without demand; and




          (viii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default,
generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal
with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the
absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and
such Grantor’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the
Collateral Agent deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the
Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein in order to effect the
intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.



     6.2 No Duty on the Part of Collateral Agent or Secured Parties. The powers conferred on the
Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to
exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the other 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, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor
for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct.


SECTION 7. REMEDIES.




     7.1 Generally.



          (a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may
exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for
herein or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of the
Collateral Agent on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected
Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing, whether by
acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the following separately, successively or
simultaneously:





          (i) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its
expense and promptly upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part
of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the
Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably
convenient to both parties;




          (ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession
thereof with or without judicial process;




          (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or
recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any
manner to the extent the Collateral Agent deems appropriate; and




          (iv) without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, sell, assign, lease,
license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or
any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral
Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such



30









 






time or
times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may
deem commercially reasonable.




          (b) The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the
Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to the portion of the Collateral being privately
sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely
distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Collateral Agent, as
collateral agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose
of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the
Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the
Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the
Collateral Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold
absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives
(to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which
it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or
hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by
law, at least ten (10) days notice to such Grantor 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
Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale
having been given. The Collateral 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. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be
commercially unreasonable for the Collateral 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 hereby waives any claims against the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent
accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If
the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the
Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys
employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a
breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the
Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach
and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically
enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any
defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no
default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their
stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of the Collateral
Agent hereunder.




          (c) The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the
Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or
the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness
of any sale of the Collateral.




          (d) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.



     7.2 Application of Proceeds. All proceeds received by the Collateral Agent (whether from a
Grantor or otherwise) in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other



31









 




realization upon all or
any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in the manner prescribed by the
Credit Agreement, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.




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



     7.4 Deposit Accounts. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, subject to
the terms of the applicable Deposit Account Control Agreement, the Collateral Agent may apply the
balance from any Deposit Account or instruct the bank at which any Deposit Account is maintained to
pay the balance of any Deposit Account in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and subject to the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.



     7.5 Investment Related Property. Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions
contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Agent may be
compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted
without prior registration or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the
Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree,
among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own account, for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges
that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable
through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a
registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each
Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially
reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales
and no obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period of time
necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring
registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such
issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise
its right to sell any or all of the Investment Related Property in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon
written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Stock to be sold
hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from time to time to furnish to the
Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may request in order to determine the
number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the Investment Related
Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent in exempt transactions under the Securities Act
and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are
from time to time in effect.



     7.6 Intellectual Property.



          (a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during
the continuation of an Event of Default:





          (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit
or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the Collateral
Agent or otherwise, in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, to enforce any Intellectual
Property, in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, do any
and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required



32









 






by the Collateral Agent in
aid of such enforcement and such Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and
indemnify the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 10 hereof in connection with the
exercise of its rights under this Section, and, to the extent that the Collateral Agent
shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property as provided in this
Section, each Grantor agrees at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent to use all
commercially reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to
prevent the infringement or other violation of any of such Grantor’s rights in the
Intellectual Property by others;




          (ii) upon written demand from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall grant, assign,
convey or otherwise transfer to the Collateral Agent or such Collateral Agent’s designee
all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property and
shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such documents as are necessary or
appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement;




          (iii) each Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be applied to
reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to the extent that the Collateral Agent (or
any other Secured Party) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other
realization upon, the Intellectual Property;




          (iv) within five (5) Business Days after written notice from the Collateral Agent,
each Grantor shall make available to the Collateral Agent, to the extent within such
Grantor’s power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor’s employ on the date of such
Event of Default as the Collateral Agent may reasonably designate, by name, title or job
responsibility, to permit such Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce,
advertise and sell the products and services sold or delivered by such Grantor under or in
connection with the Trademarks, Trademark Licenses, such persons to be available to perform
their prior functions on the Collateral Agent’s behalf and to be compensated by the
Collateral Agent at such Grantor’s expense on a per diem, pro-rata basis consistent with
the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of the date of such Event of
Default; and




          (v) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to notify, or require each Grantor to
notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in
respect of the Intellectual Property, of the existence of the security interest created
herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the
Collateral Agent, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to
enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or
payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done
and with respect to such amounts:




	(1)	 	all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by Grantor in
respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property Collateral or
any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent
hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid
over or delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary
endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 7.7 hereof; and





33









 





	(2)	 	except as permitted in the Credit Agreement, Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise
the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect
thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon.





          (b) If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver,
modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to the Collateral Agent of
any rights, title and interests in and to the Intellectual Property shall have been previously made
and shall have become absolute and effective, and (iv) the Secured Obligations shall not have
become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent
shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor, at such Grantor’s sole cost and expense, such
assignments or other transfer as may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor any such rights,
title and interests as may have been assigned to the Collateral Agent as aforesaid, subject to any
disposition thereof that may have been made by the Collateral Agent; provided, after giving effect
to such reassignment, the Collateral Agent’s security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as
all other rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent granted hereunder, shall continue to be in
full force and effect; and provided further, the rights, title and interests so reassigned shall be
free and clear of any other Liens granted by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and the Secured
Parties.




          (c) Solely upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and for the
purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 7 and
at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and
remedies, if the Intellectual Property has not been assigned to the Collateral Agent, each Grantor
grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent it has the right to do so, an irrevocable,
nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such
Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and
inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of said Trademarks, to use,
operate under, license, or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by
such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located.




     7.7 Cash Proceeds. In addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent specified in Section 4.3
with respect to payments of Receivables, except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, all
proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other non-cash
items (collectively, “Cash Proceeds”) shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral
Agent, and deposited in the Collateral Account or a Deposit Account subject to an effective Deposit
Account Control Agreement or otherwise be segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall,
forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, unless otherwise provided pursuant to the Intercreditor
Agreement, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly
indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required) and held by the Collateral Agent in
the Collateral Account or a Deposit Account subject to an effective Deposit Account Control
Agreement. All cash proceeds received by the Collateral Agent (whether from a Grantor or
otherwise) in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part
of the Collateral shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in the manner prescribed by the Credit
Agreement, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.



SECTION 8. COLLATERAL AGENT.




     The Collateral Agent has been appointed by the Lenders to act as Collateral Agent and, by
their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent shall be
obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or



34









 




refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including,
without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this
Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Credit Agreement; provided, the Collateral Agent
shall, after payment in full of all Obligations under the Credit Agreement (other than contingent
indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) and the other Credit Documents,
exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for herein in accordance with the
instructions of the holders of a majority of the aggregate notional amount (or, with respect to any
Hedge Agreement that has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the amount then due and
payable (exclusive of expenses and similar payments but including any early termination payments
then due) under such Hedge Agreement) under all Hedge Agreements. In furtherance of the foregoing
provisions of this Section, each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees
that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being
understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised
solely by the Collateral Agent for its benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties in
accordance with the terms of this Section. Collateral Agent may resign or be removed in accordance
with the provisions of the Credit Agreement.




     If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in this
Agreement and the Collateral Agent, as provided for by the terms of this Agreement or any other
Credit Document, shall itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with
such agreement, the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with such performance
or compliance, together with interest thereon at the rate then in effect in respect of the Loans,
shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand and shall constitute Obligations
secured by the Collateral.



     Wilmington Trust Company has been appointed the Collateral Agent hereunder pursuant to Section
9 of the Credit Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties to this Agreement
that any authority conferred upon the Collateral Agent hereunder is subject to the terms of the
delegation of authority made by the Secured Parties (other than the Collateral Agent) to the
Collateral Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement and that the Collateral Agent has agreed to act
(and any successor Collateral Agent shall act) as such hereunder only on the express conditions
contained in the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 9 thereof). Any
successor Collateral Agent appointed in accordance with Section 9.7 of the Credit Agreement shall
be entitled to all the rights, interests and benefits of the Collateral Agent hereunder.



SECTION 9. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF LOANS.




     This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain
in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than
contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) and the cancellation
or termination of the Commitments, be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and permitted
assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the
benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors, transferees and permitted assigns. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, any
Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held by it to any other Person, and such other
Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Lenders
herein or otherwise. Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent
indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) and the cancellation or
termination of the Commitments, the security interest granted hereby shall automatically terminate
hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors. Upon



35









 




any such
termination the Collateral Agent shall, at Grantors’ expense, execute and deliver to Grantors or
otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request in writing,
including financing statement amendments and financing change statements to evidence such
termination and return to the Grantors any possessory Collateral that has been delivered by the
Grantors to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Upon any disposition of
property permitted by the Credit Agreement, the Liens granted herein shall be deemed to be
automatically released and such property shall automatically revert to the applicable Grantor with
no further action on the part of any Person. The Collateral Agent shall, at Grantor’s expense,
execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as Grantors shall
reasonably request in writing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent, including financing statement amendments to evidence such release.




SECTION 10. STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM.




     The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in
the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the
exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting
for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any
Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or
any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such
Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its
own property. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents
shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part 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 or otherwise. If any Grantor fails to perform any
agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such
agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be
payable by each Grantor under Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement.



SECTION 11. AMENDMENTS, MODIFICATIONS




     The liens, lien priority, administrative priorities and other rights and remedies granted to
the Collateral Agent for its benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties pursuant to
this Agreement or any other Credit Document (specifically, including, but not limited to, the
existence, perfection and priority of the liens provided herein and therein and the administrative
priority provided herein and therein) shall not be modified, altered or impaired in any manner by
any other financing or extension of credit or incurrence of Indebtedness by any of the Credit
Parties or by any other act or omission whatsoever.



SECTION 12. ACKNOWLEDGMENT




     This Agreement is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement
or the Credit Agreement in all respects and, in the event of any conflict between the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement or the Credit Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement or the Credit Agreement, as applicable, shall govern.



     Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Grantors and the
Collateral Agent agrees that any requirement hereunder that any Grantor deliver any Collateral that
constitutes Revolving Credit Priority Collateral to the Collateral Agent, or that requires any
Grantor to vest the Collateral Agent with possession or “control” (as defined in the UCC) of any



36









 




Collateral that constitutes Revolving Credit Priority Collateral, in each case, shall be deemed
satisfied to the extent that, prior to the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations (other than
contingent indemnification obligations), such Collateral is delivered to the Revolving Collateral
Agent, or the Revolving Collateral Agent shall have been vested with such possession or (unless,
pursuant to the UCC, “control” may be given concurrently to the Collateral Agent and the Second
Lien Term Loan Collateral Agent) control, in each case, subject to the provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreement.




SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS.




     Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance
with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Agent
in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall
impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence
therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude
other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and
remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are cumulative to, and not
exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision in or obligation
under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or
obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All
covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition
is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to,
or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of
a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. This Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and Grantors and their respective
successors and permitted assigns. No Grantor shall, without the prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent given in accordance with the Credit Agreement, assign any right, duty or
obligation hereunder. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents embody the entire agreement
and understanding between Grantors and the Collateral Agent and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
Accordingly, the Credit Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or
subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the
parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an
original (including counterparts received via telecopy or other electronic means), but all such
counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be
detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all
signature pages are physically attached to the same document. Each Grantor and the Collateral
Agent hereby acknowledge that (a) value has been given, and (b) such Grantor has rights in its
Collateral and, to the extent that such Grantor does not acquire rights or interests in any of its
Collateral until after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the security interest created
hereby shall attach to such Collateral at the time such Grantor acquires rights or interests
therein. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement.



     THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,
AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT
REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER



37









 




THAN SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW
YORK GENERAL OBLIGATION LAWS).

Parties, (the “Collateral Agent”) and [                    ], a [                    ] [corporation] (the “Issuer”).
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned in the Second Lien
Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of June 27, 2008, among the Pledgor, the other Grantors
party thereto and the Collateral Agent (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time, the “Security Agreement”). All references herein to the “UCC” shall mean the
Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York.



     Section 1. Registered Ownership of Shares. The Issuer hereby confirms and agrees that as of
the date hereof the Pledgor is the registered owner of [                    ] shares of the Issuer’s [common]
stock (the “Pledged Shares”) and the Issuer shall not change the registered owner of the Pledged
Shares without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.

the Collateral Agent relating to the Pledged Shares, the Issuer shall comply with such instructions
without further consent by the Pledgor or any other person. The Collateral Agent hereby agrees

has occurred and is continuing.



     Section 3. Additional Representations and Warranties of the Issuer. The Issuer hereby
represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent that, except as permitted under the Credit
Agreement:



     (a) It has not entered into, and until the termination of this agreement will not enter into,
any agreement with any other person relating the Pledged Shares pursuant to which it has agreed to
comply with instructions issued by such other person; and



     (b) It has not entered into, and until the termination of this agreement will not enter into,
any agreement with the Pledgor or the Collateral Agent purporting to limit or condition the
obligation of the Issuer to comply with Instructions as set forth in Section 2 hereof.

obligation of the Issuer.

     Section 6. Voting Rights. Until such time as the Collateral Agent shall otherwise instruct
the Issuer in writing, the Pledgor shall have the right to vote the Pledged Shares. The Collateral

continuing.

Issuer and (ii) by sending written notice of such assignment to the Pledgor.

(a) the Issuer is released from any and all liabilities to the Pledgor and the Collateral Agent
arising from the terms of this Agreement and the compliance of the Issuer with the terms hereof,
except to the extent that such liabilities arise from the Issuer’s negligence, willful misconduct,
bad faith or breach of this Agreement and (b) the Pledgor, its successors and assigns shall at all
times indemnify and save harmless the Issuer from and against any and all claims, actions and suits
of others arising out of the terms of this Agreement or the compliance of the Issuer with the terms
hereof, except to the extent that such arises from the Issuer’s negligence, willful misconduct, bad
faith or breach of this Agreement and from and against any and all liabilities, actual losses,
damages, reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, charges, and reasonable fees of one outside
legal counsel until the termination of this Agreement.
