          (l) all Goods;




          (m) all Instruments;




6









 








          (n) all Intellectual Property;




          (o) all Inventory;




          (p) all Investment Property;




          (q) all Letters of Credit;




          (r) all Letter of Credit Rights;




          (s) all Payment Intangibles;




          (t) all Vehicles and title documents with respect to Vehicles;




          (u) all Receivables;




          (v) all Software;




          (w) all Supporting Obligations;




          (x) to the extent, if any, not included in clauses (a) through (w) above, each and every other
item of personal property whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired;




          (y) all books and records pertaining to any of the Collateral; and




          (z) to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds, Supporting Obligations and products of
any and all of the foregoing and all collateral security and guarantees given by any Person with
respect to any of the foregoing;



provided, however, that notwithstanding any of the other provisions set forth in
this Section 2 (and notwithstanding any recording of the Junior Agent’s Lien in the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office or other registry office in any jurisdiction), this Agreement shall not constitute
a grant of a security interest in, and the Collateral shall not include, (i) any property or assets
designated as “Excluded Property” pursuant to paragraph (c) of the definition of “Permitted
Investment” in the Junior Note Indenture or (ii) any property to the extent that such grant of a
security interest is prohibited by any applicable Law of an Official Body, requires a consent not
obtained of any Official Body pursuant to such Law or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or
default under or results in the termination of or gives rise to any right of acceleration,
modification or cancellation or requires any consent not obtained under, any contract, license,
agreement, instrument or other document evidencing or giving rise to such property or, in the case
of any Investment Property, or Pledged Note, any applicable shareholder or similar agreement,
except to the extent that such Law or the term in such contract, license, agreement, instrument or
other document or shareholder or similar agreement providing for such prohibition, breach, default
or termination or requiring such consent is ineffective under applicable Law including Sections
9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the New York UCC (or any successor provision or provisions);
provided, further, that no security interest shall be granted in United States
“intent-to-use” trademark or service mark application unless and until acceptable evidence of use
of the trademark or service mark has been filed with and accepted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office pursuant to Section 1(c) or Section 1(d) of the Lanham Act (U.S.C. 1051, et. seq.), and to
the extent that, and solely during the period in which, the grant of a security interest therein
would impair the validity or enforceability of such intent-to-use trademark or service mark
applications under applicable federal Law. After such period and after such evidence of use


7









 






has been filed and accepted, each Grantor acknowledges that such interest in such trademark or
service mark applications will become part of the Collateral. The Junior Agent agrees that, at any
Grantor’s reasonable request and expense, it will provide such Grantor confirmation that the assets
described in this paragraph are in fact excluded from the Collateral during such limited period
only. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the
Securities Act requires (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or
regulation is adopted, which would require) the filing with the SEC of separate financial
statements of any Guarantor, then the capital stock or other securities of such Guarantor shall
automatically be deemed released and not to be and not to have been part of the Collateral but only
to the extent necessary to not be subject to such requirement. In such event, this Agreement may
be amended or modified, without the consent of any Junior Noteholder, to the extent necessary to
evidence the release of the lien created hereby on the shares of capital stock or other securities
that are so deemed to no longer constitute part of the Collateral.




SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES




     To induce the Junior Noteholders to purchase the Junior Notes, each Grantor hereby represents
and warrants to the Junior Agent and each other Secured Party that:



     3.1 Title: No Other Liens.



     Except for the security interest granted to the Junior Agent for the ratable benefit of the
Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement: (i) such Grantor owns each item of the Cash Collateral
Accounts free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others, except for (a) the first priority
perfected security interest securing the Senior Lender Claims, (b) the second priority perfected
security interest securing the Senior Noteholder Claims and (c) the Additional Junior Liens and
(ii) such Grantor owns each other item of the Collateral free and clear of any and all Liens or
claims of others except, with respect to the Collateral referred to in this clause (ii), for the
Liens permitted to exist on the Collateral by Section 7.2.2 of the Credit Agreement, Section 4.08
of the Senior Note Indenture and Section 4.08 of the Junior Note Indenture (“Permitted
Encumbrances”). No financing statement or other public notice with respect to all or any part
of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except with respect to Permitted
Encumbrances.



     3.2 Perfected Third Priority Liens.



     The security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement (a) upon completion of the filings
and other actions specified on Schedule C (which, in the case of all filings and other documents
referred to on said Schedule, have been delivered to the Junior Agent in completed form) will
constitute valid perfected (to the extent such security interest can be perfected by such filings
or actions) security interests in all of the Collateral in favor of the Junior Agent, for the
ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations,
enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of such Grantor and any
Persons purporting to purchase any Collateral from such Grantor and (b) are prior to all other
Liens on the Collateral in existence on the date hereof except, (i) in the case of Collateral other

Collateral Accounts, for the first priority perfected security interest securing the Senior Lender

deposit in the Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts in which the Junior Agent for the benefit of

the name of the Perfection Agent or a nominee of the Perfection Agent and in a manner that
preserves the Issuer’s ownership of, and



10









 







the Junior Agent’s perfected Lien on, such investments. Subject to the Intercreditor
Agreement, all income received from such investments shall accrue for the benefit of the Issuer and
shall be credited (immediately upon receipt by the Perfection Agent) to a Deposit Account or
Securities Account, in which Junior Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties holds a perfected
security interest. The Junior Agent, as the Perfection Agent, will only make investments in which

documents which the Perfection Agent may reasonably require the Issuer to execute to implement or
effectuate the provisions of this Section.



     5.2 Liability.



     The Junior Agent shall have no responsibility to the Issuer for any loss or liability arising
in respect of the investments in the Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts in which the Junior
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties holds a perfected security interest (including,
without limitation, as a result of the liquidation of any thereof before maturity), except to the
extent that such loss or liability is found to be based on the Junior Agent’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct as determined by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction.



SECTION 6. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS




     6.1 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables.



          (a) At any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Junior Agent shall have the
right to make test verifications of the Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it
reasonably considers advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information
as the Junior Agent may require in connection with such test verifications. The Junior Agent shall
endeavor to provide the Issuer with notice at or about the time of such verifications, provided
that the failure to provide such notice shall not in any way compromise or adversely affect the
exercise of such remedy or the Junior Agent’s rights hereunder.




          (b) The Junior Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables and,
subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at
any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. The Junior Agent
shall endeavor to provide the Issuer with notice at or about the time of the exercise of its rights
pursuant to the preceding sentence, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not in
any way compromise or adversely affect the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder. Subject
to the Intercreditor Agreement, if requested in writing by the Junior 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 indorsed by such Grantor to the
Perfection Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and
control of the Perfection Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Perfection Agent to be applied (x)
prior to the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, in accordance with the First Lien Security
Agreement, (y) following the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims but prior to the Discharge of Senior
Claims, in accordance with the Senior Noteholder Security Agreement and (z) following the Discharge
of Senior Claims, pursuant to Section 6.4 below, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by
such Grantor in trust for the Perfection Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor.




          (c) At the Junior Agent’s written request at any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall deliver to the Perfection Agent all original
and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to
the Receivables, including without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.




11









 








     6.2 Communications with Obligors: Grantors Remain Liable.



          (a) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Agent in its own name or in the name of
others may 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 Junior
Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables or Contracts. The Junior
Agent shall endeavor to provide the Issuer with notice at or about the time of the exercise of its
rights pursuant to the preceding sentence, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall
not in any way compromise or adversely affect the exercise of any rights or remedies hereunder.




          (b) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the written request of the Junior Agent at
any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall
notify obligors on the Receivables and parties to the Contracts that the Receivables and the
Contracts, as the case may be, have been assigned to the Junior Agent for the ratable benefit of
the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Junior
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. Neither the Junior Agent nor any 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 the Junior Agent or any Secured Party of any
payment relating thereto, nor shall the Junior Agent or 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 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Junior Agent.



     In addition to the rights of the Junior Agent and the Secured Parties specified in Section 6.1
with respect to payments of Receivables, and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of
Default shall occur and be continuing, upon written request from the Junior Agent, all Proceeds
received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such
Grantor in trust for the Perfection Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of
such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Perfection
Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Perfection
Agent, if requested). All Proceeds received by the Perfection Agent hereunder shall be held by the
Perfection Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All such
Proceeds while held by the Perfection Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust
for the Junior Agent and the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for
all the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in
Section 6.4.



     6.4 Application of Proceeds.



     If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Junior
Agent’s election, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and to any Collateral Agency Agreement,
the Junior Agent may apply all or any part of the Collateral, whether or not held in the Deposit
Accounts, the Securities Accounts or any other Collateral Account, in payment of the Secured
Obligations in the order set forth in the Junior Note Indenture.



12









 





     6.5 Code and Other Remedies.



     Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
the Junior 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 Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under
the New York UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Junior Agent, without prior demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest,
advertisement or notice of any kind (except any prior notice required by law referred to below) to
or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements
and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement,
forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof,
and/or may forthwith sell, lease, 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
the Junior Agent or 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. The Junior Agent shall endeavor to provide the Issuer with
notice at or about the time of the exercise of remedies in the proceeding sentence, provided that
the failure to provide such notice shall not in any way compromise or adversely affect the exercise
of such remedies or the Junior Agent’s rights hereunder. The Junior Agent or any 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, which right or equity is hereby waived and
released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Junior Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral
and make it available to the Junior Agent at places which the Junior Agent shall reasonably select,
whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Junior Agent shall apply the net proceeds of
any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.5, 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 Junior Agent
and the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as the
Junior Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Junior Agent
of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section
9-615(a)(3) of the New York UCC, need the Junior Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any
Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and
demands it may acquire against the Junior Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by
them of any rights hereunder. If any prior notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of
Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at
least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.



     6.6 Subordination.



     Each Grantor hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, unless otherwise agreed by the Junior Agent, all Indebtedness owing to it by the Issuer or
any Subsidiary of the Issuer shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in
cash of the Secured Obligations.



     6.7 Deficiency.



     Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other
disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and
disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Junior Agent or any Secured Party to collect such
deficiency.



13









 





SECTION 7. THE JUNIOR AGENT




     7.1 Junior Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. etc.



          (a) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints the Junior Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its
true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead
of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out
the terms of this Agreement, 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 hereby gives the
Junior Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without prior 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
indorse 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 Junior 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 Junior Agent may request to
evidence the Junior Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual
Property and the goodwill and General Intangibles of such Grantors 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 6.5, 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 Junior Agent
or as the Junior 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 indorse 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 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 Junior 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), through the world for such term or terms,
on such conditions, in such manner, as the Junior Agent shall in its sole



14









 







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 Junior Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the
Junior Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all
acts and things which the Junior Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon
the Collateral and the Junior Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein
and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor
might do.



          The Junior Agent shall endeavor to provide the Issuer with notice at or about the time of the
exercise of its rights in the preceding clause (a), provided that the failure to provide such
notice shall not in any way compromise or adversely affect the exercise of any rights or remedies
hereunder.




          (b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the
Junior Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or
otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.




          (c) The expenses of the Junior Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as
provided in this Section 7.1, together with, if past due, interest thereon at a rate per annum
equal to the Default Rate, from the date when due to the Junior Agent to the date reimbursed by the
relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Junior Agent upon not less than five (5)
Business Days notice.




          (d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies 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 Junior Agent.



     The Junior 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 Junior Agent deals with similar
property for its own account. Neither the Junior Agent, any Secured Party nor any of their
respective officers, directors, employees or agents 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 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 Junior Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the
Junior Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty
upon the Junior Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Junior Agent and 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, employees or agents
shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own
gross negligence or willful misconduct.



     7.3 Execution of Financing Statements.



     Pursuant to any applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Junior Agent to file or record
financing statements 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 Junior
Agent determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Junior Agent under this
Agreement. Each Grantor authorizes the Junior Agent to use the collateral description “all
personal property” or “all assets” in any



15









 







such financing statements or in any other manner that the Junior Agent, in its sole
discretion, deems necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security
interests granted hereunder.



     7.4 Authority of Junior Agent.



     Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Junior Agent under this
Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Junior Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by
the Junior Agent 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 Junior Agent and the
Secured Parties, be governed by the Junior Note Indenture and by such other agreements with respect
thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Junior Agent and the
Grantors, the Junior 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 shall be
under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.



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 in accordance with Article 9 of the Junior Note Indenture. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Issuer and the Junior Agent may, without the need to obtain the consent of
the Junior Noteholders, amend, supplement or otherwise modify any provision hereof or of any other
Junior Noteholder Collateral Document (including by entering into any Collateral Agency Agreement
or any other new or supplemental agreements) to reflect and give effect to the matters referred to
in the definition of Collateral Agency Agreement in connection with the incurrence of Additional
Secured Obligations and the granting of Additional Junior Liens, to the extent such incurrence or
grant is permitted by, and in accordance with, the Junior Note Indenture and the Intercreditor
Agreement.



     8.2 Notices.



     All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Junior Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall
be effected in the manner provided for in Section 13.03 of the Junior Note Indenture.



     8.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies.



     Neither the Junior Agent nor any 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 the Junior Agent or 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, power or privilege. A waiver by the Junior
Agent or 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 the Junior Agent or 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.




16












 






     8.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.



          (a) Each Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party and the Junior Agent for all
its costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the
other Junior Noteholder Documents to which such Grantor is a party, including, without limitation,
the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of
in-house counsel) to the Junior Agent and the Secured Parties.




          (b) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Junior Agent and the Secured Parties harmless
from, any and all liabilities 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.




          (c) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Junior Agent and 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 Issuer
would be required to do so pursuant to Section 7.07 of the Junior Note Indenture except those
resulting from the Junior Agent’s or any Secured Party’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.




          (d) The agreements in this Section 8.4 shall survive repayment of the Secured Obligations and
termination of the Junior Noteholder Documents.




     8.5 Successors and Assigns.



     This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall
inure to the benefit of the Junior Agent and the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns;
provided that except as permitted by the Junior Note Indenture, no Grantor may assign, transfer or
delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of
the Junior Agent.



     8.6 Set-Off.



     Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Junior
Agent and each other Secured Party at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, without notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor, any such notice
being expressly waived by each Grantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits,
indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Junior Agent or such other
Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof in such
amounts as the Junior Agent or such other Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the
obligations and liabilities of such Grantor to the Junior Agent or such other Secured Party
hereunder and claims of every nature and description of the Junior Agent or such other Secured
Party against such Grantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Junior Note
Indenture or any other Junior Noteholder Document, as the Junior Agent or such other Secured Party
may elect, whether or not the Junior Agent or any other Secured Party has made any demand for
payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The
