representations and warranties to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors
and hereby covenants and agrees with the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors
as follows:

 

 

ARTICLE I

SECURITY INTERESTS

          1.1. Grant of Security Interests.

          (a) As security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due of the
Obligations, each Assignor does hereby assign and transfer unto the Collateral Agent, and does
hereby pledge and grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, a
continuing security interest in all of the right, title and interest of such Assignor in, to and

     (ii) all cash;

     (iii) the Cash Collateral Account and all monies, securities, Instruments and other
investments deposited or required to be deposited in the Cash Collateral Account;

     (iv) all Chattel Paper (including, without limitation, all Tangible Chattel Paper and

     (xvii) all Letter-of-Credit Rights (whether or not the respective letter of credit is

     (xviii) all Marks and Domain Names, together with the registrations and right to all
renewals thereof, and the goodwill of the business of such Assignor symbolized by the Marks;

     (xix) all Patents;

     (xx) all Permits;

     (xxi) all Software;

     (xxii) all Supporting Obligations; and

          (b) The security interest of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement extends to all
Collateral which any Assignor may acquire, or with respect to which any Assignor may obtain
rights, at any time during the term of this Agreement.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (I) in the event that any
Assignor acquires an item of Collateral at any time following the date hereof a security interest
in which can not be perfected by a filing of a UCC financing statement, such Assignor may elect
(which election shall be made by delivering written notice thereof to the Collateral Agent) that
such Collateral shall not be required to be pledged pursuant to this Agreement as otherwise
required above in this Section 1.1 so long as the book value or fair market value (as
determined in good faith by the Borrower), whichever is greater, thereof is less than $1,000,000
(although in no event shall the aggregate book value or fair market value (as determined in good
faith by the Borrower), whichever is greater, of all assets excluded from the security interests
granted hereunder provided in this clause (c)(I), exceed $5,000,000) and (II) this Agreement shall
not constitute a grant of security interest in any Excluded Assets.

          (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Documents, none of the Assignors
shall be required, nor is the Collateral Agent authorized, (i) to perfect the Security Interests
granted by this Security Agreement (including Security Interests in Investment Property and
fixtures) by any means other than by (A) filings pursuant to the UCC in the office of the secretary
of state (or similar central filing office or as otherwise specified pursuant to the UCC) of the
relevant State(s), and filings in the applicable real estate records with respect to any fixtures
relating to Mortgaged Property, (B) filings in United States government offices with respect to
United States registered and applied for Patents, Marks and Copyrights of any Assignor as expressly
required elsewhere herein, (C) delivery to the Collateral Agent to be held in its possession of all
Collateral consisting of Instruments and Chattel Paper as expressly required elsewhere herein or
(D) other methods expressly provided herein, (ii) to enter into any deposit account control
agreement, securities account control agreement or any other control agreement with respect to any
deposit account, securities account or any other Collateral that requires perfection by “control”,
(iii) to take any action (other than the actions listed in clause (i)(A) and (C) above) with
respect to any assets located outside of the United States, (iv) to perfect in any assets subject
to a certificate of title statute or (v) to deliver any Equity Interests except as expressly
provided in the Pledge Agreement.

          1.2. Power of Attorney. Each Assignor hereby constitutes and appoints the Collateral
Agent its true and lawful attorney, irrevocably, with full power after the occurrence of and
during the continuance of an Event of Default (in the name of such Assignor or otherwise), to the
extent permitted by

-3-

 

applicable law, to act, require, demand, receive, compound and give acquittance for any and all
moneys and claims for moneys due or to become due to such Assignor under or arising out of the
Collateral, to endorse any checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to
file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Collateral Agent may
deem to be necessary or advisable to protect the interests of the Secured Creditors, which
appointment as attorney is coupled with an interest.

GENERAL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

covenants shall survive execution and delivery of this Agreement, as follows:

          2.1. Necessary Filings. All filings, registrations, recordings and other actions
necessary or appropriate to create, preserve and perfect the security interest granted by such
Assignor to the Collateral Agent hereby in respect of the Collateral have been (or, within 30 days
following the Initial Borrowing Date, shall have been) accomplished and the security interest
granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement in and to the Collateral creates a
valid and, together with all such filings, registrations, recordings and other actions, a
perfected security interest therein prior to the rights of all other Persons therein and subject
to no other Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and is entitled to all the rights, priorities and
benefits afforded by the UCC or other relevant law as enacted in any relevant jurisdiction to
perfected security interests, in each case to the extent that the Collateral consists of the type
of property in which a security interest may be perfected by filing a financing statement under
the UCC or with respect to any U.S. issued patents or patent applications, trademark
registrations, trademark applications, copyright registrations or copyright applications, by a
filing of a Grant of Security Interest in the respective form attached hereto in the United States
Patent and Trademark Office or in the United States Copyright Office.

          2.2. No Liens. Such Assignor is, and as to all Collateral acquired by it from time to
time after the date hereof such Assignor will be, the owner of all Collateral free from any Lien,
security interest, encumbrance or other right, title or interest of any Person (other than
Permitted Liens), and such Assignor shall defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of
all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein adverse to the Collateral Agent
(other than Permitted Liens). So long as the Termination Date has not occurred, such Assignor will
not execute or authorize to be filed in any public office any financing statement (or similar
statement or instrument of registration under the law of any jurisdiction) or statements relating

security interests granted hereby by such Assignor or in connection with Permitted Liens.

taken all action reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to maintain the security interests of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral intended to be granted hereby at all times fully perfected and in full force
and effect.

          (b) Subject to Section 1.1(d), each Assignor shall, at its own expense, upon the reasonable
request of the Collateral Agent, take any and all commercially reasonable actions necessary to
defend title to the Collateral against all Persons and to defend the Security Interest of the
Collateral Agent in the Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien (other than Permitted
Liens); provided that, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any Assignor from discontinuing the
operation or maintenance of any of its assets or properties if such discontinuance is (x)
determined by such Assignor to be desirable in the conduct of its business and (y) permitted by the
Credit Agreement.

          2.6. Trade Names; etc. No Assignor has or operates in any jurisdiction under, or in
the preceding five years has had or has operated in any jurisdiction under, any trade names,

by the Collateral Agent to perfect the security interest of the Collateral Agent therein.

          2.9. Recourse. This Agreement is made with full recourse to each Assignor and

herewith or therewith.

ARTICLE III

SPECIAL PROVISIONS CONCERNING ACCOUNTS; CONTRACT RIGHTS; INSTRUMENTS;

CHATTEL PAPER AND CERTAIN OTHER COLLATERAL

          3.1. Additional Covenants. If at any time any Assignor shall take a security interest
in any property of an Account Debtor or any other Person, the value of which is in excess of
$5,000,000 to secure payment and performance of an Account, such Assignor shall promptly assign
such security interest to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Such
assignment need not be filed of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of
the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person
granting the security interest.

          3.2. Maintenance of Records. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default and at the request of the Collateral Agent, such Assignor shall, at its own cost
and expense, deliver all tangible evidence of its Accounts and Contract Rights (including, without
limitation, all documents evidencing the Accounts and all Contracts) and such books and records to
the Collateral Agent or to its representatives (copies of which evidence and books and records may be retained by
such Assignor). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and if
the Collateral Agent so directs, such Assignor shall legend, in form and manner satisfactory
to the Collateral Agent, the Accounts and the Contracts, as well as books, records and
documents (if any) of such Assignor evidencing or pertaining to such Accounts and Contracts
with an appropriate reference to the fact that such Accounts and Contracts have been assigned
to the Collateral Agent and that the Collateral Agent has a security interest therein.

          3.3. Direction to Account Debtors; Contracting Parties; etc. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, if the Collateral Agent so directs any Assignor, if
permitted by applicable law, such Assignor agrees (x) to cause all payments on account of the
Accounts and Contracts to be made directly to the Cash Collateral Account, (y) that the Collateral
Agent may, at its option, directly notify the obligors with respect to any Accounts and/or under
any Contracts to make payments with respect thereto as provided in the preceding clause (x), and
(z) that the Collateral Agent may enforce collection of any such Accounts and Contracts and may
adjust, settle or compromise the amount of payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same
extent as such Assignor. Without notice to or assent by any Assignor, the Collateral Agent may,
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, apply any or all amounts
then in, or thereafter deposited in, the Cash Collateral Account toward the payment of the
Obligations in the manner provided in Section 7.4 of this Agreement. The reasonable costs and
expenses of collection (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), whether incurred by an Assignor or
the Collateral Agent, shall be borne by the relevant Assignor. The Collateral Agent shall deliver
a copy of each notice referred to in the preceding clause (y) to the relevant Assignor,
provided that (x) the failure by the Collateral Agent to so notify such Assignor shall not
affect the effectiveness of such notice or the other rights of the Collateral Agent created by
this Section 3.3 and (y) no such notice shall be required if an Event of Default of the type
described in Section 10A.05 of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing.

          3.4. Instruments. If any Assignor owns or acquires any Instrument in excess of
$5,000,000 constituting Collateral (other than checks and other payment instruments received and
collected in the ordinary course of business), such Assignor will within 10 Business Days notify
the Collateral Agent thereof, and upon request by the Collateral Agent will promptly deliver such
Instrument to the Collateral Agent appropriately endorsed to the order of the Collateral Agent as
further security hereunder.

-6-

 

          3.5. Assignors Remain Liable Under Accounts. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Assignors shall remain liable under each of the Accounts to observe and
perform all of the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all
in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise to such Accounts. Neither the Collateral
Agent nor any other Secured Creditor shall have any obligation or liability under any Account (or
any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by
the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Creditor of any payment relating to such Account
pursuant hereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Creditor be obligated in any
manner to perform any of the obligations of any Assignor under or pursuant to any Account (or any
agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the
sufficiency of any payment received by them or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any
party under any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), 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 them or to which they may be entitled at any time or times.

          3.6. Assignors Remain Liable Under Contracts. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Assignors shall remain liable under each of the Contracts to observe and
perform all of the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by them thereunder, all
in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and provisions of each Contract. Neither the
Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Creditor shall have any obligation or liability under any
Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or
any other Secured Creditor of any payment relating to such contract pursuant hereto, nor shall the
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Creditor be obligated in any manner to perform any of the
obligations of any Assignor under or pursuant to any Contract, to make any payment, to make any
inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Contract, 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 them or to which they may be entitled at any time
or times.

          3.7. Letter-of-Credit Rights. If any Assignor is at any time a beneficiary under a
letter of credit with a stated amount of $5,000,000 or more, such Assignor shall promptly notify
the Collateral Agent thereof and, at the request of the Collateral Agent, such Assignor shall,
pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent,
use its reasonable best efforts to (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of
credit to consent to an assignment to the Collateral Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under
such letter of credit or (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the transferee
beneficiary of such letter of credit, with the Collateral Agent agreeing, in each case, that the
proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit are to be applied as provided in this Agreement
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

          3.8. Commercial Tort Claims. All Commercial Tort Claims of each Assignor in existence
on the date of this Agreement are described in Annex F hereto. If any Assignor shall at any time

ARTICLE VI

PROVISIONS CONCERNING ALL COLLATERAL

          6.1. Protection of Collateral Agent’s Security. Except as otherwise permitted by the
Secured Debt Agreements, each Assignor will do nothing to impair the rights of the Collateral
Agent in the Collateral in any material respect. Each Assignor will at all times maintain
insurance, at such Assignor’s own expense to the extent and in the manner provided in the Secured
Debt Agreements. Except to the extent otherwise permitted to be retained by such Assignor or
applied by such Assignor pursuant to the terms of the Secured Debt Agreements, the Collateral
Agent shall, at the time any proceeds of such insurance are distributed to the Secured Creditors,
apply such proceeds in accordance with Section 7.4 hereof. Each Assignor assumes all liability and
responsibility in connection with the Collateral acquired by it and the liability of such Assignor
to pay the Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the fact that such
Collateral may be lost, destroyed, stolen, damaged or for any reason whatsoever unavailable to
such Assignor.

          6.2. Warehouse Receipts Non-Negotiable. To the extent practicable, each Assignor
agrees that if any warehouse receipt or receipt in the nature of a warehouse receipt is issued
with respect to any of its Inventory, such Assignor shall request that such warehouse receipt or
receipt in the nature

-10-

 

thereof shall not be “negotiable” (as such term is used in Section 7-104 of the UCC as in effect
in any relevant jurisdiction or under other relevant law).

          6.3. Further Actions. Each Assignor will, at its own expense and upon the reasonable
request of the Collateral Agent, make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file and/or deliver to the
Collateral Agent from time to time such lists, descriptions and designations of its Collateral,
warehouse receipts, receipts in the nature of warehouse receipts, bills of lading, documents of
title, vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, conveyances, financing statements,
transfer endorsements, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments and take such
further steps relating to the Collateral and other property or rights covered by the security
interest hereby granted, which the Collateral Agent deems reasonably appropriate or advisable to
perfect, preserve or protect its security interest in the Collateral.

          6.4. Financing Statements. Each Assignor agrees to deliver to the Collateral Agent
such financing statements, in form reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent, as the
Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request or as are reasonably necessary or
desirable in the opinion of the Collateral Agent to establish and maintain a valid, enforceable,
perfected security interest in the Collateral as provided herein and the other rights and security
contemplated hereby. Each Assignor will pay any applicable filing fees, recordation taxes and
related expenses relating to its Collateral. Each Assignor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent
to file any such financing statements without the signature of such Assignor where permitted by
law (and such authorization includes describing the Collateral as “all assets” of such Assignor).

ARTICLE VII

REMEDIES UPON OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT

          7.1. Remedies; Obtaining the Collateral Upon an Event of Default. Each
Assignor agrees that, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then and in
every such case, the Collateral Agent, in addition to any rights now or hereafter existing under
applicable law and under the other provisions of this Agreement, shall have all rights as a
secured creditor under any UCC, and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured
creditor is entitled under the laws in effect in all relevant jurisdictions and may (after
delivery of notice to the Borrower):

     (i) personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the
Collateral or any part thereof, from such Assignor or any other Person who then has
possession of any part thereof with or without process of law, and for that purpose may
enter upon such Assignor’s premises where any of the Collateral is located and remove the
same and use in connection with such removal any and all services, supplies, aids and other
facilities of such Assignor;

     (ii) instruct the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation
(including, without limitation, the Accounts and the Contracts) constituting the Collateral
to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation
directly to the Collateral Agent and may exercise any and all remedies of such Assignor in
respect of such Collateral;

     (iii) sell, assign or otherwise liquidate any or all of the Collateral or any part
thereof in accordance with Section 7.2 hereof, or direct such Assignor to sell, assign or
otherwise liquidate any or all of the Collateral or any part thereof, and, in each case,
take possession of the proceeds of any such sale or liquidation;

-11-

 

     (iv) take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing such Assignor
in writing to deliver the same to the Collateral Agent at any reasonable place or places
designated by the Collateral Agent, in which event such Assignor shall at its own expense:

     (x) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places so designated
by the Collateral Agent and there delivered to the Collateral Agent;

     (y) store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the Collateral Agent at
such place or places pending further action by the Collateral Agent as provided in
Section 7.2 hereof; and

     (z) while the Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such security
and maintenance services as shall be reasonably necessary to protect the same and
to preserve and maintain it in good condition;

     (v) license or sublicense, whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any Marks,
Domain Names, Patents or Copyrights included in the Collateral for such term and on such
conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole judgment determine;

     (vi) apply any monies constituting Collateral or proceeds thereof in accordance with
the provisions of Section 7.4; and

     (vii) take any other action as specified in clauses (1) through (5), inclusive, of
Section 9-607 of the UCC;

it being understood that each Assignor’s obligation so to deliver the Collateral is of the
essence of this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having
jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance
by such Assignor of said obligation. By accepting the benefits of this Agreement and each other
Security Document, the Secured Creditors expressly acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and
each other Security Document may be enforced only by the action of the Collateral Agent and that
no other Secured Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to enforce this Agreement or
any other Security Document or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby or thereby, it
being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Collateral
Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors upon the terms of this Agreement and the other
Security Documents.

          7.2. Remedies; Disposition of the Collateral. If any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, then any Collateral repossessed by the Collateral Agent under or
pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, and any other Collateral whether or not so repossessed by the
Collateral Agent, may be sold, assigned, leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more
contracts or as an entirety, and without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale the
property to be sold, and in general in such manner, at such time or times, at such place or places
and on such terms as the Collateral Agent may, in compliance with any mandatory requirements of
applicable law, determine to be commercially reasonable. Any of the Collateral may be sold, leased
or otherwise disposed of in the condition in which the same existed when taken by the Collateral
Agent or after any overhaul or repair at the expense of the relevant Assignor which the Collateral
Agent shall determine to be commercially reasonable. Any such sale, lease or other disposition may
be effected by means of a public disposition or private disposition, effected in accordance with
the applicable requirements (in each case if and to the extent applicable) of Sections 9-610
through 9-613 of the UCC and/or such other mandatory requirements of applicable law as may apply
to the respective disposition. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn
any public or private disposition or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by
announcement at the time and

-12-

 

place fixed for the disposition, and such disposition may be made at any time or place to which the
disposition may be so adjourned. To the extent permitted by any such requirement of law, the
Collateral Agent may bid for and become the purchaser (and may pay all or any portion of the
purchase price by crediting Obligations against the purchase price) of the Collateral, or any item
thereof, offered for disposition in accordance with this Section 7.2 without accountability to the
relevant Assignor. Each Assignor agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as
may be reasonably necessary to make such disposition or dispositions of all or any portion of the
Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations,
orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental
instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at
such Assignor’s expense.

          7.3. Waiver of Claims. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, EACH
ASSIGNOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTICE
AND JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S TAKING
POSSESSION OR THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR
ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES, and each Assignor hereby further waives, to the extent permitted by law:

     (i) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession or any such disposition except any
damages which are the direct result of the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable
decision);

     (ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other
requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder; and
(iii) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or
hereafter in force under any applicable law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of
this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof, and each
Assignor, for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or hereafter
lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws.

Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Collateral
shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity,
of the relevant Assignor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in
equity against such Assignor and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the
Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through and under such
Assignor.

          7.4. Application of Proceeds.

          (a) All moneys collected by the Collateral Agent (or, to the extent the Pledge Agreement, any
Mortgage or any other Security Document requires proceeds of collateral under such other Security
Document to be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Pledgee, the
Mortgagee (or Trustee) or Collateral Agent under such other Security Document) upon any sale or
other disposition of the Collateral, together with all other moneys received by the Collateral
Agent hereunder, shall be applied in the manner specified in Section 10C of the Credit Agreement.

          (b) This Agreement is made with full recourse to each Assignor (including, without
limitation, with full recourse to all assets of such Assignor) and pursuant to and upon all the
warranties, representations, covenants and agreements on the part of such Assignor contained
herein, in the other Secured Debt Agreements and otherwise in writing in connection herewith or
therewith. It is understood

-13-

 

that the Assignors shall remain jointly and severally liable to the extent of any deficiency
between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Obligations.

          7.5. Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy hereby specifically
given to the Collateral Agent shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy
specifically given to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the other Secured Debt Agreements
or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute and each and every right, power and
remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time
or simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Collateral
Agent. All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise or the beginning
of the exercise of one shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other or others.
No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any such right, power or remedy and
no renewal or extension of any of the Obligations shall impair any such right, power or remedy or
shall be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence thereof. No
notice to or demand on any Assignor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or
demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the
Collateral Agent to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. In
the event that the Collateral Agent shall bring any suit to enforce any of its rights hereunder and
shall be entitled to judgment, then in such suit the Collateral Agent may recover reasonable
expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the amounts thereof shall be included in such
judgment.

          7.6. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Collateral Agent shall have
instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by
foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and
in every such case the relevant Assignor, the Collateral Agent and each holder of any of the
Obligations shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the
Collateral subject to the security interest created under this Agreement, and all rights, remedies
and powers of the Collateral Agent shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

ARTICLE VIII

          8.1. Indemnity.

          (a) Each Assignor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify, reimburse and hold the

and collectively as “Indemnitees”) harmless from any and all liabilities, obligations, damages,
injuries, penalties, claims, demands, actions, suits, judgments and any and all costs, expenses or
disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (for the purposes of this

imposed on, asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnitees in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement, any other Secured Debt Agreement or any other document executed in

transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms of, or the
preservation of any rights under any thereof, or in any way relating to or arising out of the
manufacture, ownership, ordering, purchase, delivery, control, acceptance, lease, financing,
possession, operation, condition, sale, return or other disposition, or use of the Collateral
(including, without limitation, latent or other defects, whether or not discoverable), the
violation of the laws of any country, state or other governmental body or unit, any tort
(including, without limitation, claims arising or imposed under the doctrine of strict liability,
or for or on account of injury to or the death of any Person (including any

-14-

 

Indemnitee), or property damage), or contract claim; provided that no Indemnitee shall be
indemnified pursuant to this Section 8.1(a) for losses, damages or liabilities to the extent
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (as determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). Each Assignor agrees that upon
written notice by any Indemnitee of the assertion of such a liability, obligation, damage, injury,
penalty, claim, demand, action, suit or judgment, the relevant Assignor shall assume full
responsibility for the defense thereof. Each Indemnitee agrees to use its best efforts to promptly
notify the relevant Assignor of any such assertion of which such Indemnitee has knowledge.

          (b) Without limiting the application of Section 8.1(a) hereof, each Assignor agrees, jointly

expenses of whatever kind or nature incurred in connection with the creation, preservation or
protection of the Collateral Agent’s Liens on, and security interest in, the Collateral,
including, without limitation, all fees and taxes in connection with the recording or filing of
instruments and documents in public offices, payment or discharge of any taxes or Liens upon or in
respect of the Collateral, premiums for insurance with respect to the Collateral and all other
fees, costs and expenses in connection with protecting, maintaining or preserving the Collateral
and the Collateral Agent’s interest therein, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, or
in defending or prosecuting any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to the
Collateral.

          (c) Without limiting the application of Section 8.1(a) or (b) hereof, each Assignor agrees,
jointly and severally, to pay, indemnify and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any
loss, costs, damages and expenses which such Indemnitee may suffer, expend or incur in consequence
of or growing out of any misrepresentation by any Assignor in this Agreement, any other Secured
Debt Agreement or in any writing contemplated by or made or delivered pursuant to or in connection
with this Agreement or any other Secured Debt Agreement.

          (d) If and to the extent that the obligations of any Assignor under this Section 8.1 are
unenforceable for any reason, such Assignor hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the
payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law.

          8.2. Indemnity Obligations Secured by Collateral; Survival. Any amounts paid by any
Indemnitee as to which such Indemnitee has the right to reimbursement shall constitute Obligations
secured by the Collateral. The indemnity obligations of each Assignor contained in this Article
 VIII shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the full payment of all of the other
Obligations and notwithstanding the full payment of all the Loans made under the Credit Agreement,
the termination of all Letters of Credit issued under the Credit Agreement and the payment of all
other Obligations and notwithstanding the discharge thereof and the occurrence of the Termination
Date.

Section 10.8.
