Liens securing the Obligations are accordingly senior to the Liens securing the Junior Obligations

Obligations” under the Lenders Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, and the Liens

ARTICLE II

Guarantees

          SECTION 2.01. Guarantees. Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a
primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of the
Obligations, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally. Each of the Guarantors further
agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or
further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any
extension or renewal of any Obligation. Each of the Guarantors waives presentment to, demand of
payment from and protest to the Company or any other Credit Party of any of the Obligations, and
also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee, notice of protest for nonpayment and all similar
formalities.

          SECTION 2.02. Guarantee of Payment. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its guarantee
hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right
to require that any resort be had by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to any
security held for the payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit
on the books of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Company or any
other Person.

          SECTION 2.03. No Limitations. (a) Except for termination of a Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder as expressly provided in Section 12.13, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall
not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including
any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any
defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or
otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to assert
any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Credit Document
or otherwise; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of
the terms or provisions of, any Credit Document or any other agreement, including with respect to
any other Guarantor under

 

 

11

this Agreement; (iii) the release of any security held by the Collateral Agent or any other
Secured Party for the Obligations; (iv) any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the
performance of the Obligations; or (v) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or
to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor
as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the
Obligations). Each Guarantor expressly authorizes the Secured Parties to take and hold security
for the payment and performance of the Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such
security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order
and manner of any sale thereof in their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more
other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Obligations, all without affecting the
obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

          (b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense based
on or arising out of any defense of the Company or any other Credit Party or the unenforceability
of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the
liability of the Company or any other Credit Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in
cash of all the Obligations. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at their
election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or
nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or
adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Company or any other
Credit Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Company or any
other Credit Party, in each case without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any
Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in
full in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense
arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to
impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such
Guarantor against the Company or any other Credit Party, as the case may be, or any security.

          SECTION 2.04. Reinstatement. Each of the Guarantors agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part
thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Collateral Agent or
any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, any other Credit
Party or otherwise.

          SECTION 2.05. Agreement To Pay; Subrogation. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in
limitation of any other right that the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in
equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company or any other Credit
Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by
acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, such Guarantor hereby promises to and will
forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Collateral Agent for distribution to the applicable
Secured Parties in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligation. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any
sums to the Collateral Agent as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against the Company or
any other Credit Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation,

 

 

12

contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate to
the Obligations of the Company or such Credit Party on the terms set forth in Article X.

          SECTION 2.06. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping
itself informed of the Company’s and each other Credit Party’s financial condition and assets, and
of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature,
scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that
none of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise such
Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

ARTICLE III

Continuation of Liens Securing US Miscellaneous Obligations

          From and after the date hereof, the Liens created under the 2003 MGCA and the “Other Security
Documents” referred to therein, insofar as they secure the US Miscellaneous Obligations, will
continue hereunder and under the Other Security Documents, and such Liens and the Liens created
hereunder and under the Other Security Documents to secure the Obligations are expressly agreed to
be equal in right, priority, operation and effect, notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement, the 2003 MGCA, any “Other Security Document” referred to therein or any other agreement
or instrument to the contrary, and irrespective of the time, order or method of creation,
attachment or perfection of any such Liens or any defect or deficiency or alleged defect or
deficiency in any of the foregoing.

ARTICLE IV

Pledge of Securities

          SECTION 4.01. Pledge. As security for the payment or performance, as the case may be, in full
of the Obligations, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns
a security interest in all such Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Pledged
Collateral, to have and to hold all such Pledged Collateral, together with all right, title,
interest, powers, privileges and preferences pertaining or incidental thereto, for the benefit of
the Secured Parties; subject, however, to the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set
forth.

          SECTION 4.02. Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest. (a) Unless and until an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have notified the
Grantors that their rights under this Section are being suspended:

     (i) Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other
rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for
any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the

 

 

13

 Credit Agreement, including the right to sell or otherwise transfer such Pledged
Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

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

     (iii) Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends,
interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the
Pledged Collateral to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends, interest,
principal and other distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid or distributed
in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the other Credit
Documents and applicable laws; provided that any noncash dividends, interest,
principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Equity Interests or
Pledged Debt Securities, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or
reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of any Pledged
Collateral or received in exchange for Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, or in
redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other
exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and
become part of the Pledged Collateral.

          (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the
Collateral Agent shall have notified the Grantors of the suspension of their rights under paragraph
(a)(iii) of this Section, all rights of any Grantor to dividends, interest, principal or other
distributions that such Grantor is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) of this
Section shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent,
which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends,
interest, principal or other distributions. All dividends, interest, principal or other
distributions received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of this Section shall be held in
trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of
such Grantor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent upon demand in the form in
which so received (with any necessary endorsement). Any and all money and other property paid over
to or received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be
retained by the Collateral Agent in an account to be established by the Collateral Agent upon
receipt of such money or other property and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of
Section 7.03. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived and the Company has delivered
to the Collateral Agent a certificate to that effect, the Collateral Agent shall (subject to any
applicable provisions of the Second Lien Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the Third Lien
Collateral Agreement, the Lenders Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement and the Lien
Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement) promptly repay to each Grantor (without interest) all
dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor

 

 

14

would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) of this
Section and that remain in such account.

          (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the
Collateral Agent shall have notified the Grantors of the suspension of their rights under paragraph
(a)(i) of this Section, all rights of any Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and
powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section, and the obligations
of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section, shall cease, and all such rights
shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive
right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided that, unless
otherwise directed by the Majority Lenders, the Collateral Agent shall have the right from time to
time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to exercise
such rights.

          (d) Any notice given by the Collateral Agent to the Grantors suspending their rights under
paragraph (a) of this Section (i) may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing, (ii)
may be given to one or more of the Grantors at the same or different times and (iii) may suspend
the rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a)(i) or paragraph (a)(iii) in part without suspending
all such rights (as specified by the Collateral Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) and
without waiving or otherwise affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights to give additional notices
from time to time suspending other rights so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.

ARTICLE V

Security Interests in Personal Property

          SECTION 5.01. Creation of Security Interests. (a) As security for the payment or
performance, as the case may be, in full of the Obligations, each Grantor hereby grants to the
Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security
interest in all right, title or interest in or to any and all the Article 9 Collateral (other than,
in the case of the Company only, any such Article 9 Collateral constituting a “manufacturing
facility”, as defined in the Swiss Franc Bond Agreement) now owned or at any time hereafter
acquired by such Grantor or in which such Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire
any right, title or interest.

          (b) As security for the payment or performance, as the case may be, in full of the Obligations
and the Swiss Franc Obligations, the Company hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, its successors
and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the Swiss Franc Secured Parties, a security
interest in all right, title or interest in or to any and all the Article 9 Collateral constituting
a “manufacturing facility”, as defined in the Swiss Franc Bond Agreement, now owned or at any time
hereafter acquired by it or in which it now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right,
title or interest.

 

 

15

          (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as any of the
Indentures shall remain in effect, the aggregate amount of the Obligations secured by (i) the
security interests granted under this Section and (ii) the Liens created under the Mortgages, in
each case to the extent the assets subject to such security interests and Liens constitute
Indenture Properties, shall not exceed the maximum amount of the Obligations that can be so secured
without violation of the Indentures. If at any time after the date hereof any amount of the
Obligations that may be secured by any security interest or Lien on the Indenture Properties
without violation of the Indentures shall increase, in either case by reason of (i) the termination
of the Indentures or any provisions therein, (ii) any amendment of or waiver under the Indentures,
(iii) any increase in any applicable basket or exception under the Indentures as a result of the
financial performance of the Company and the Subsidiaries or otherwise or (iv) any other event or
condition, the amount of the outstanding Obligations secured by security interests in and Liens on
the Indenture Properties shall be simultaneously and automatically increased to the maximum amount
permitted under the Indentures. No amount of Obligations that shall be secured by security
interests in and Liens on the Indenture Properties in accordance with the foregoing provisions of
this paragraph shall at any time cease to be so guaranteed or secured as a result of (A) any
subsequent amendment of or waiver under any Indenture, (B) any subsequent change in the amount of
any basket or exception under any Indenture (to the extent the secured amount of the Obligations is
not required to be reduced under the terms of the Indentures) or (C) any other event or condition
(to the extent the secured amount of the Obligations is not required to be reduced under the terms
of the Indentures); provided, that if the outstanding amount of the Obligations shall be reduced
below the amount permitted to be secured by security interests in and Liens on the Indenture
Properties and shall later be increased, the newly incurred Obligations will be secured by security
interests in and Liens on the Indenture Properties only to the extent permitted under the
Indentures and the foregoing provisions of this Section at the time of such increase or thereafter.
Nothing in the preceding two sentences shall result in the aggregate amount of the Obligations
secured by the Indenture Properties exceeding the maximum amount of the Obligations that can be so
secured without violation of the Indentures.

          (d) The security interests granted under this Section are granted as security only and shall
not subject the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any
obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Article 9 Collateral.

          SECTION 5.02. Certain Filings. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral
Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing
statements (including fixture filings) with respect to the Article 9 Collateral of such Grantor or
any part thereof and amendments thereto that contain the information required by Article 9 of the
Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement
or amendment, including (i) whether such Grantor is an organization, the jurisdiction in which it
is organized, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such
Grantor and (ii) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing, a sufficient
description of the real property to which such Article 9 Collateral relates. Each Grantor

 

 

16

agrees to provide such information to the Collateral Agent promptly upon request. Each
Grantor also ratifies its authorization for the Collateral Agent to file in any relevant
jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date
hereof.

          (b) The Collateral Agent is further authorized to file with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any successor office or any similar office
in any other country) such documents as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of
perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting any security interest granted by any
Grantor in any Material Intellectual Property, without the signature of such Grantor, and naming
such Grantor or the Grantors as debtors and the Collateral Agent as secured party.

          SECTION 5.03. Representations and Warranties. The Grantors jointly and severally represent
and warrant to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties that each Grantor has good and valid
rights (including ownership rights) in the material Article 9 Collateral with respect to which it
has purported to grant a security interest hereunder.

          SECTION 5.04. Covenants. (a) Each Grantor agrees promptly (and in any event within 30 days)
to notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any change (i) in its corporate name, (ii) in the
location of its chief executive office, (iii) in its identity or type of organization or corporate
structure, (iv) in its Federal Taxpayer Identification Number or organizational identification
number or (v) in its jurisdiction of organization. Each Grantor agrees promptly to provide the
Collateral Agent with certified organizational documents reflecting any of the changes described in
the first sentence of this paragraph.

          (b) Each Grantor agrees to maintain, at its own cost and expense, such complete and accurate
records with respect to the Article 9 Collateral owned by it as shall be consistent with its
current practices and in accordance with such prudent and standard practices used in industries
that are the same as or similar to those in which such Grantor is engaged, but in any event to
include complete accounting records indicating all payments and proceeds received with respect to
any part of the Article 9 Collateral, and, at such time or times as the Collateral Agent may
reasonably request, promptly to prepare and deliver to the Collateral Agent schedules in form and
detail reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent showing the identity, amount and location of
any specified Article 9 Collateral.

          (c) Each year, at the time of delivery of annual financial statements of the Company with
respect to the preceding fiscal year pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company shall deliver to
the Collateral Agent a certificate executed on behalf of the Company by a Financial Officer and a
legal officer of the Company setting forth the information required pursuant to the Perfection
Certificate (including the Schedules thereto) or confirming that there has been no change in such
information since the date of such certificate or the date of the most recent certificate delivered
pursuant to this paragraph, and setting forth for any Aircraft owned by any Grantor and not already
listed on Schedule I hereto information sufficient to permit the Collateral Agent to file notices

 

 

17

of its security interests in such Aircraft with the Federal Aviation Administration, including
the model number, the tail number, the name, the serial number and the location of such Aircraft
(and Schedule I shall be automatically updated to list any Aircraft identified in any such
certificate).

          (d) The Collateral Agent and such Persons as the Collateral Agent may reasonably designate
shall have the right, at the Grantors’ own cost and expense, to inspect the Article 9 Collateral
and the premises upon which any of the Article 9 Collateral is located and to verify under
reasonable procedures, in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, the validity,
amount, quality, quantity, value, condition and status of, or any other matter relating to, the
Article 9 Collateral, including, only after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, in the case of Accounts or Article 9 Collateral in the possession of any third person,
by contacting Account Debtors or the third person possessing such Article 9 Collateral for the
purpose of making such a verification. The Collateral Agent shall have the absolute right to share
any information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party.

          (e) At its option, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges,
fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9
Collateral and not permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and
preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by
the Credit Agreement or this Agreement, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse
the Collateral Agent on demand for any payment made or any expense incurred by the Collateral Agent
pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall be
interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the
Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor
with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances
and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Credit Documents.

          (f) The Grantors, at their own expense, shall maintain or cause to be maintained insurance
covering physical loss or damage to the Inventory and Equipment included in the Article 9
Collateral in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement. Each Grantor
irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or
agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and
attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, during the continuance of an Event of Default, of making,
settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance,
endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the
proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect
thereto. In the event that any Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any
of the policies of insurance required hereby or to pay any premium in whole or part relating
thereto, the Collateral Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the
Grantors hereunder or any Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such
policies of insurance and pay such premiums and take any other actions with respect thereto as the
Collateral Agent deems advisable. All sums disbursed

 

 

18

by the Collateral Agent in connection with this paragraph, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by
the Grantors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Obligations secured hereby.

          (g) Each Grantor shall maintain, in form and manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent, records of its Chattel Paper and its books, records and documents evidencing or pertaining
thereto.

          SECTION 5.05. Other Actions. In order to further ensure the attachment, perfection and
priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the security interests created
hereby, each Grantor agrees, in each case at such Grantor’s own expense, to take the following
actions with respect to the following Article 9 Collateral: if any Grantor shall at any time hold
or acquire any Instrument representing Indebtedness in excess of $3,000,000, such Grantor shall
forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such
instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time
to time reasonably request.

          SECTION 5.06. Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral. (a) Each
Grantor agrees that it will not do or omit to do any act (and will exercise commercially reasonable
efforts to prevent its licensees from doing or omitting to do any act) whereby any Patent
constituting Material Intellectual Property may become invalidated or dedicated to the public, and
agrees that it shall continue to mark any products covered by such Patent with the relevant patent
number consistent with good business judgment to establish and preserve its rights under applicable
patent laws.

          (b) Each Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or its sublicensees) will, for each
Trademark constituting Material Intellectual Property, (i) maintain such Trademark in full force
free from any claim of abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products
and services offered under such Trademark, (iii) display such Trademark with notice of Federal or
foreign registration consistent with good business judgment to establish and preserve its rights
under applicable law and (iv) not knowingly use or knowingly permit the use of such Trademark in
violation of any third party rights.

          (c) Each Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or sublicensees) will, for each work
covered by a Copyright constituting Material Intellectual Property, continue to publish, reproduce,
display, adopt and distribute the work with appropriate copyright notice consistent with good
business judgment to establish and preserve its rights under applicable copyright laws.

          (d) Each Grantor shall notify the Collateral Agent promptly if it knows or has reason to know
that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright constituting Material Intellectual Property may become
abandoned, lost or dedicated to the public, or of any materially adverse determination or
development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any
proceeding in the United States Patent and

 

 

19

Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any court or similar office of any
country) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright, its right to
register the same, or its right to keep and maintain the same; provided that such notification need
not be given if such impairment of such Intellectual Property is not material viewed against the
Material Intellectual Property as a whole.

          (e) Each Grantor will take all steps consistent with good business judgment that are
consistent with the practice in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark
Office, United States Copyright Office or any office or agency in any political subdivision of the
United States or in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue
each application relating to the Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights constituting Material
Intellectual Property (and to obtain the relevant grant or registration) and to maintain each
issued Patent and each registration of the Trademarks and Copyrights constituting Material
Intellectual Property, including timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use,
affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees, and, if consistent with good
business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and cancelation proceedings against third
parties.

          (f) Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall endeavor in
good faith to obtain all requisite consents or approvals by the licensor of each Copyright License,
Patent License or Trademark License to effect the assignment of all such Grantor’s right, title and
interest thereunder to the Collateral Agent or its designee.

          SECTION 5.07. Lockbox System. (a) The Grantors shall maintain, subject to the control of
the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Lockbox Agreements, a system of lockboxes and related Deposit
Accounts (the “Lockbox System”). Each Grantor agrees that it shall have no Deposit Accounts other
than (a) Deposit Accounts in the Lockbox System, (b) Excluded Operating Accounts and (c) Local
Collection Accounts. Each Grantor further agrees (i) to cause at all times to be in effect with
respect to each Deposit Account Institution at which any Deposit Account (other than an Excluded
Operating Account or a Local Collection Account) is maintained a Lockbox Agreement with respect to
each such Deposit Account, (ii) to notify and direct promptly each Account Debtor and every other
Person obligated to make payments on Accounts or in respect of any Inventory to make all such
payments directly to one or more Deposit Accounts in the Lockbox System (or, in the case of
Accounts or Inventory of the Company’s retail or Wingfoot divisions, Local Collection Accounts) or
related lockboxes, (iii) to use all reasonable efforts to cause each such Account Debtor and other
Person to make all payments with respect to Accounts and Inventory directly to one or more Deposit
Accounts in the Lockbox System (or, in the case of Accounts or Inventory of the Company’s retail or
Wingfoot divisions, Local Collection Accounts) or related lockboxes, (iv) promptly to deposit all
payments received by it on account of Accounts and Inventory, whether in the form of cash, checks,
notes, drafts, bills of exchange, money orders or otherwise, in one or more Deposit Accounts in the
Lockbox System (or, in the case of Accounts or Inventory of the Company’s retail or Wingfoot
divisions, Local Collection Accounts) or related lockboxes in the form in which received (but with
any endorsements of such Grantor necessary for deposit or collection), (v) to maintain at

 

 

20

all times a Collateral Proceeds Account in the United States, a U.S. dollar and a Canadian
dollar Collateral Proceeds Account in Canada and the RBC Deposit Account, in each case on terms
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and (vi) to maintain in effect agreements with the
applicable Deposit Account Institutions under which all amounts on deposit in each Deposit Account
(other than Excluded Operating Accounts and Local Collection Accounts) located in the United States
and in Canada at the end of each Business Day will be paid to the Collateral Agent for deposit in
the Collateral Proceeds Account located in the United States or in the RBC Deposit Account,
respectively, at the opening of business on the next succeeding Business Day, and under which all
amounts in the RBC Deposit Account will be paid not less often than weekly into the Collateral
Proceeds Accounts in Canada in same day funds. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and no less frequently than each Business Day)
remit any funds on deposit in each Collateral Proceeds Account to one or more accounts of the
Company that have been designated by the Company. Effective upon notice to the Company after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Collateral Proceeds Account, the
RBC Deposit Account and each Deposit Account (other than Excluded Operating Accounts and Local
Collection Accounts) will, without further action on the part of any Grantor or the Collateral
Agent, convert into a closed lockbox account under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral
Agent in which all funds are held subject to the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder. Without
the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, no Grantor shall, in a manner adverse to the
Secured Parties, change the general instructions given to Account Debtors in respect of payments to
be deposited in the Lockbox System. Each Grantor irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, to deliver a Control Notice under each Lockbox Agreement.
The Collateral Agent agrees with each Grantor that the Collateral Agent shall not give any
instructions pursuant to any Lockbox Agreement terminating such Lockbox Agreement or the right of
such Grantor to make withdrawals from any Deposit Account in the Lockbox System unless an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing or, after giving effect to any withdrawal, would
occur. The Company shall ensure that the aggregate amount contained in all Local Collection
Accounts taken together shall not at any time exceed a maximum amount determined by the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (not to be exercised unreasonably).

          SECTION 5.08. Insurance. Each Grantor shall cause the Collateral Agent to be named as loss
payee on all property insurance maintained in respect of property subject to the Mortgages.

ARTICLE VI

Other Pledges, Mortgages and Security Interests

          SECTION 6.01. Other Security Documents. In addition to the security interests created under
Articles III and V, the parties acknowledge that:

 

 

21

          (a) The Grantors and the Collateral Agent are entering into the Foreign Pledge Agreements
listed in Schedule II, and may in the future enter into additional Foreign Pledge Agreements, under
which they are pledging Equity Interests in Foreign Subsidiaries owned by them on a senior basis to
secure the Obligations.

          (b) The Grantors and the Collateral Agent are entering into the Mortgages as listed in
Schedule III, under which they are mortgaging the real properties and interests in the Mortgaged
Properties to secure the Obligations and, to the extent the Mortgaged Properties constitute
“manufacturing facilities”, as defined in the Swiss Franc Bond Agreement, the Swiss Franc
Obligations.

          (c) Certain Grantors that are organized under the laws of Canada or one or more provinces
thereof are entering into the Canadian Security Agreements, under which they are creating security
interests in certain Collateral owned by them to secure the Obligations.

          SECTION 6.02. Other Security Documents Subject to This Agreement. (a) The parties hereto
and to the Other Security Documents agree that they will observe and be bound by, and that the
Other Security Documents will in all respects be subject to, the following provisions: (i) to the
extent applicable, the provisions of Section 5.01(c) (limiting the amount of the obligations
secured by the Indenture Properties owned by the Company); (ii) the provisions of Sections 7.02 and
7.03 (governing the exercise of remedies under the Other Security Documents and the distribution of
the proceeds realized from the exercise of remedies under the Security Documents); (iii) the
provisions of Articles IX and X (relating to the duties and responsibilities of the Collateral
Agent); and (iv) the provisions of Section 12.13 (providing for releases of Guarantees of and
Collateral securing the Obligations).

          (a) Each of the Mortgages (other than any Mortgage that sets forth in full the provisions
referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) of paragraph (a) above) shall contain a provision
substantially to the effect set forth below (in the language of such Mortgage) and satisfactory to
the Collateral Agent and its counsel:

“THIS AGREEMENT AND THE PLEDGES, SECURITY INTERESTS AND OTHER LIENS AND CHARGES CREATED HEREBY ARE
SUBJECT IN ALL RESPECTS TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE FIRST LIEN GUARANTEE AND COLLATERAL AGREEMENT
DATED AS OF APRIL 8, 2005, AS AMENDED, AMONG THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY, CERTAIN OF ITS
SUBSIDIARIES AND JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., AS COLLATERAL AGENT, AND ANY PROVISION OF THIS
AGREEMENT THAT IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH FIRST LIEN GUARANTEE AND COLLATERAL
AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED FOR ALL PURPOSES TO HAVE BEEN AMENDED TO CONFORM IN ALL RESPECTS TO SUCH
PROVISIONS.”

 

 

22

ARTICLE VII

Remedies

          SECTION 7.01. Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default under and as defined in the Credit Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, (a)
the Collateral Agent may demand that each Grantor deliver each item of Collateral owned or held by
it to the Collateral Agent, and each Grantor agrees so to deliver all such Collateral, and (b) the
Collateral Agent shall have the right to take any of or all the following actions at the same or
different times with respect to any Collateral: (i) with respect to any Collateral consisting of
Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause its security interest in such Collateral to become an
assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Collateral by the applicable Grantors to
the Collateral Agent, or to grant any license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise,
and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, with respect to any such Collateral throughout
the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall determine
(other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers
cannot be obtained), and (ii) with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or
demand for performance, to take possession of the Collateral and without liability for trespass to
enter any premises where the Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or
removing the Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party
under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to the
mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the
Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for
cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The
Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do
so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that
they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the
distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall
have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the
Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall (to the extent permitted
by law) 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 law) all rights of redemption, stay and
appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or
statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

          In the case of any Collateral that constitutes Article 9 Collateral, the Collateral Agent
shall give the applicable Grantors 10 days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable
notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other
jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in
the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale
at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such
sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered
for sale at such board or

 

 

23

exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business
hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any)
of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one
lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute
discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any
Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such
Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn
any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at
the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time
and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the
Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the
Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the
Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail
to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may
be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale
made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent
permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any
Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the
Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using
any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the
purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain
and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor (to the extent
permitted by law). For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase any Collateral or portion
thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such
sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or
any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall
have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the
Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon
it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this
Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a
court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed
receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be deemed to conform to the
commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its
equivalent in other jurisdictions.

          SECTION 7.02. Exercise of Remedies under Other Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall
also have the right to exercise remedies provided for in each Other Security Document upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

          SECTION 7.03. Application of Proceeds. (a) Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the
Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of the collection or sale of any Collateral, including
any Collateral consisting of cash, as follows:

 

 

24

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

     SECOND, to the payment of all such Obligations as shall be owed to the Administrative
Agent (in such capacity) and all such Obligations for fees, indemnification or the
reimbursement of expenses as shall be owed to any Issuing Bank;

     THIRD, to the payment in full of the other Obligations secured by such Collateral,
ratably in accordance with the amounts of such Obligations on the date of such application;

     FOURTH, to the “Collateral Agent” under and as defined in the Second Lien Guarantee
and Collateral Agreement for application as provided therein to satisfy obligations secured
by Liens on the Collateral created thereunder or under the “Other Security Documents” (as
defined therein) that are junior to the Liens created hereunder and under the Other
Security Documents; and

     FIFTH, if the Second Lien Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall no longer be in
effect or if the Collateral Agent shall be advised by the “Collateral Agent” under and as
defined in the Second Lien Guarantee and Collateral Agreement that there are no persons
entitled under the Second Lien Guarantee and Collateral Agreement to receive such proceeds
or cash, to the “Collateral Agent” under and as defined in the Third Lien Collateral
Agreement and the other Junior Collateral Agents (as such term is defined in the Lien
Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement) for application as provided in the Third Lien
Collateral Agreement and in the Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement; and

     SIXTH, if the Third Lien Collateral Agreement shall no longer be in effect and there
shall be no outstanding “Junior Obligations”, as defined in the Lien Subordination and
Intercreditor Agreement, or if the Collateral Agent shall be advised by the “Collateral
Agent” under and as defined in the Third Lien Collateral Agreement and by each other Junior
Collateral Agent (as such term is defined in the Lien Subordination and Intercreditor
Agreement) that there are no persons entitled under the Third Lien Collateral Agreement or
the other documents governing “Junior Obligations”, as defined in the Lien Subordination
and Intercreditor Agreement, to receive such proceeds or cash, to the applicable Grantors,
their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

 

 

25

          The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such
proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the
Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial
proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a
sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or
purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid
over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication
thereof. For purposes of clause THIRD above, the Lien of any Mortgage, insofar as it secures the
Swiss Franc Obligations, will, to the maximum extent permitted under the Swiss Franc Bond
Agreement, be deemed to be of lower priority than the Lien of such Mortgage insofar as it secures
the Obligations. Notwithstanding the provisions of clause THIRD above, any Article 9 Collateral
consisting of cash deposited to collateralize Letter of Credit reimbursement obligations pursuant
to the Credit Agreement will be applied first against such reimbursement obligations. It is
understood that the Deposits held by the Administrative Agent under Section 2.01 of the Credit
Agreement do not constitute assets of the Borrower or Collateral, and that nothing herein shall
prevent or delay payments required to be made from the Deposit Account to the Issuing Banks as
provided in the Credit Agreement.

          SECTION 7.04. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. Each Grantor hereby grants to
the Collateral Agent, to the extent necessary to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and
remedies under this Agreement and the Other Security Documents at such time as the Collateral Agent
shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, an irrevocable, nonexclusive
license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use,
license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor,
and wherever the same may be located, including in such license reasonable access to all media in
which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs
used for the compilation or printout thereof, to the extent and only to the extent such license
would not violate or result in a default under any license or other agreement, whether express or
implied, between the Grantor and any Person other than a Wholly Owned Subsidiary. The rights of
the Collateral Agent under such license may be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent,
solely upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any
license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in accordance
herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of any Event of
Default.

          SECTION 7.05. Securities Act. In view of the position of the Grantors in relation to the
Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under
the Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter enacted
analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in
effect being called the “Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Pledged
Collateral permitted hereunder. Each Grantor understands that compliance with the Federal
Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Collateral Agent if the
Collateral Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might
also limit the extent to

 

 

26

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

          SECTION 7.06. Registration. Each Grantor agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, if for any reason the Collateral Agent desires to sell any of
the Pledged Collateral at a public sale, it will, at any time and from time to time, upon the
written request of the Collateral Agent, use its best efforts to take or to cause the issuer of
such Pledged Collateral to take such action and prepare, distribute and/or file such documents, as
are required or advisable in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Collateral Agent to permit
the public sale of such Pledged Collateral under applicable law. Each Grantor further agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Collateral Agent, each other Secured Party, any underwriter
and their respective officers, directors, affiliates and controlling persons from and against all
loss, liability, expenses, costs of counsel (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and
expenses of the Collateral Agent’s legal counsel), and claims (including the costs of
investigation) that they may incur insofar as such loss, liability, expense or claim arises out of
or is based upon any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus (or
any amendment or supplement thereto) or in any notification or offering circular relating to the
offering for sale of any Pledged Collateral, or arises out of or is based upon any alleged omission
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in any
thereof not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been caused by any untrue statement or
omission based upon information furnished in writing to such Grantor or the issuer of such Pledged
Collateral by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party expressly for use therein. Each
Grantor further agrees, upon such written request referred to above, to use its best efforts to

 

 

27

qualify, file or register, or cause the issuer of such Pledged Collateral to qualify, file or
register, any of the Pledged Collateral under the Blue Sky or other securities laws of such
jurisdictions as may be requested by the Collateral Agent and keep effective, or cause to be kept
effective, all such qualifications, filings or registrations. Each Grantor will bear all costs and
expenses of carrying out its obligations under this Section. Each Grantor acknowledges that there
is no adequate remedy at law for failure by it to comply with the provisions of this Section and
that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that its
agreements contained in this Section may be specifically enforced.

ARTICLE VIII

Indemnity, Subrogation and Subordination

          SECTION 8.01. Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and
subrogation as the Grantors and Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section
8.03), the Company agrees that (a) in the event a payment shall be made by any Guarantor under this
Agreement in respect of an Obligation of the Company or of any Subsidiary other than such Guarantor
or one of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such
payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment
shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (b) in the event any assets of any Grantor
shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any Other Security Document to satisfy in whole or in
part an Obligation of the Company or of any Subsidiary other than such Grantor or one of its
Subsidiaries, the Company shall indemnify such Grantor in an amount equal to the greater of the
book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.

          SECTION 8.02. Contribution and Subrogation. Each Guarantor and Grantor, other than the
Company, that has guaranteed, or granted Liens to secure, the Obligations (a “Contributing Party”)
agrees (subject to Section 8.03) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Guarantor
(other than the Company) hereunder in respect of any Obligations or assets of any other Grantor
(other than the Company) shall be sold pursuant to any Security Document to satisfy any Obligations
and such other Guarantor or Grantor (the “Claiming Party”) shall not have been fully indemnified by
the Company as provided in Section 8.01, the Contributing Party shall indemnify the Claiming Party
in an amount equal to the amount of such payment or the greater of the book value or the fair
market value of such assets, as the case may be, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party and the denominator shall be the
aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors and Grantors, other than the Company. For the purposes
of the previous sentence, the net worth of each Guarantor and Grantor shall be determined on the
Effective Date (or, in the case of any Guarantor or Grantor becoming a Guarantor or Grantor after
the Effective Date, the date on which such Guarantor or Grantor shall have become a Guarantor or
Grantor). Any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to

 

 

28

this Section shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party under Section 8.01 to
the extent of such payment.

          SECTION 8.03. Subordination. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, all rights of the Guarantors and Grantors under Sections 8.01 and 8.02 and all other
rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully
subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and no Guarantor or
Grantor shall seek to enforce any of such rights until the Obligations have been paid in full. No
failure on the part of the Company or any other Guarantor or Grantor to make the payments required
by Sections 8.01 and 8.02 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall
in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor or Grantor with respect to
its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor and Grantor shall remain liable for the full amount
of the obligations of such Guarantor or Grantor hereunder.

ARTICLE IX

Duties of Collateral Agent

          SECTION 9.01. Actions Under This Agreement. (a) The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated
to take any action under this Agreement or any Other Security Document except for the performance
of such duties as are specifically set forth herein and therein. Subject to the provisions of
Article X of this Agreement and to the succeeding provisions of this Section, the Collateral Agent
shall take such actions, and only such actions, under this Agreement and the Other Security
Documents with respect to any Collateral as are requested by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of
the Majority Lenders, under the Credit Agreement and as are not inconsistent with or contrary to
the provisions of this Agreement, any Other Security Document or the Credit Agreement, as well as
ministerial and/or administrative actions required or permitted by this Agreement and the Other
Security Documents.

          (b) The holders of the Miscellaneous Obligations shall not be entitled to, and shall not, (i)
direct the actions of the Collateral Agent hereunder, (ii) take any action, or commence any legal
proceeding seeking, to require, compel or cause the Collateral Agent to enforce any provisions of
this Agreement against any Guarantor or Grantor or to exercise any remedy hereunder, (iii) take any
action, or commence any legal proceeding seeking, to prevent or enjoin the Collateral Agent from
taking any action (including, without limitation, the enforcement of any provisions of this
Agreement against any Guarantor or Grantor, the exercise of any remedy hereunder, the release of
any Guarantee or Collateral hereunder or the consent to any amendment or modification of this
Agreement or the grant of any waiver hereunder), or refraining from taking any such action, in
accordance with this Agreement or (iv) take any action, or commence any legal proceeding seeking,
to delay, hinder or otherwise impair the Collateral Agent in taking any such action in accordance
with this Agreement. By their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the Other Security
Documents, the holders of the Miscellaneous

 

 

29

Obligations will be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed to the provisions of the preceding
sentence, and to have acknowledged that such provisions are being relied upon by the other Secured
Parties.

          (c) THE COLLATERAL AGENT HAS CONSENTED TO SERVE AS COLLATERAL AGENT HEREUNDER ON THE EXPRESS
UNDERSTANDING, AND THE HOLDERS OF THE OBLIGATIONS, BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS OF THIS AGREEMENT,
SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE AGREED, THAT THE COLLATERAL AGENT SHALL HAVE NO DUTY AND SHALL OWE NO
OBLIGATION OR RESPONSIBILITY (FIDUCIARY OR OTHERWISE) TO THE HOLDERS OF ANY OBLIGATIONS, OTHER THAN
THE DUTY TO PERFORM ITS EXPRESS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR TERMS,
SUBJECT IN ALL EVENTS TO THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE X AND THE OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT
LIMITING THE RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT HEREUNDER. WITHOUT LIMITING THE
FOREGOING, THE HOLDERS OF THE MISCELLANEOUS OBLIGATIONS, BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS OF THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENTS, SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED ANY RIGHT THEY MIGHT
HAVE, UNDER APPLICABLE LAW OR OTHERWISE, TO COMPEL THE SALE OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF ANY COLLATERAL,
AND ANY OBLIGATION THE COLLATERAL AGENT MIGHT HAVE, UNDER APPLICABLE LAW OR OTHERWISE, TO OBTAIN
ANY MINIMUM PRICE FOR ANY COLLATERAL UPON THE SALE THEREOF, IT BEING EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD, AND THE
AVAILABILITY OF THE BENEFITS OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE HOLDERS OF THE MISCELLANEOUS OBLIGATIONS
BEING CONDITIONED UPON THE UNDERSTANDING, THAT THE SOLE RIGHT OF THE HOLDERS OF THE MISCELLANEOUS
OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE TO RECEIVE THEIR RATABLE SHARE OF ANY PROCEEDS OF COLLATERAL IN ACCORDANCE
WITH AND SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

ARTICLE X

Concerning the Collateral Agent

          SECTION 10.01. Limitations on Responsibility of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall
not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for the correctness of any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties contained herein or in any Other Security Document. The Collateral
Agent makes no representation as to the value or condition of the Collateral or any part thereof,
as to the title of any Grantor to the Collateral, as to the security afforded by this Agreement or
any Other Security Document or as to the validity, execution, enforceability, legality or
sufficiency of this Agreement or any Other Security Document, and the Collateral Agent shall incur
no liability or responsibility in respect of any such matters. The Collateral Agent shall not be
responsible for insuring the Collateral, for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens
upon the Collateral or otherwise for the maintenance of the Collateral, except as

 

 

30

provided in the immediately following sentence when the Collateral Agent has possession or
control of the Collateral. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Collateral Agent shall have no
duty to the Grantors or to the holders of the Secured Obligations as to any Collateral in its
possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Collateral
Agent or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other
rights pertaining thereto, except the duty to accord such Collateral the same care that it normally
accords to its own assets and the duty to account for moneys received by it. The Collateral Agent
shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance by any Guarantor or Grantor of
any of the covenants or agreements contained herein or in any other agreement. Neither the
Collateral Agent nor any officer, agent or representative thereof shall be personally liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by any such person in connection with this Agreement or any
Other Security Document except for such person’s own gross negligence or wilful misconduct (it
being understood that any action taken in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any Other
Security Document by the Collateral Agent or any such officer, agent or representative at the
direction or instruction of the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders under the Credit
Agreement (or not taken in the absence of any such directions or instructions) shall not constitute
gross negligence or wilful misconduct). Neither the Collateral Agent nor any officer, agent or
representative thereof shall be personally liable for any action taken by any such person in
accordance with any notice given by the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders under the
Credit Agreement hereunder or under any Other Security Document even if, at the time such action is
taken by any such Person, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders which gave the notice to take
such action shall no longer be the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders under the Credit
Agreement or the Secured Parties on behalf of which such notice was given are no longer the Secured
Parties. The Collateral Agent may execute any of the powers granted under this Agreement and
perform any duty hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact.

          SECTION 10.02. Reliance by Collateral Agent; Indemnity Against Liabilities, etc. (a)
Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or any Other Security Document the
Collateral Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established with
respect to any Grantor or any other person in connection with the taking, suffering or omitting of
any action hereunder by the Collateral Agent, such matter may be conclusively deemed to be proved
or established by a certificate executed by an officer of such Person which is believed by the
Collateral Agent to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person, and the
Collateral Agent shall have no liability with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted in
reliance thereon.

          (b) The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel and shall not incur any liability in taking
any action hereunder or under any Other Security Document in good faith in accordance with any
advice of such counsel. The Collateral Agent shall have the right but not the obligation at any
time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Agreement or any Other Security
Document, the duties created hereunder or the Collateral from any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

 

31

          (c) The Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in relying upon any resolution,
statement, certificate, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order or other paper
or document which it in good faith believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper party. The Collateral Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements
and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificate or opinions that are
believed by the Collateral Agent to be genuine and signed or furnished by the proper Person
furnished to the Collateral Agent in connection with this Agreement or any Other Security Document.

          (d) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have actual, constructive, direct or indirect
notice or knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default unless and until the Collateral Agent
shall have received written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Agent
shall have no obligation whatsoever either prior to or after receiving such a notice that is
believed by the Collateral Agent to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person
to inquire whether an Event of Default has, in fact, occurred and shall be entitled to rely
conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any such notice so furnished to it.

          (e) If the Collateral Agent has been requested to take any specific action by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any Other Security Document,
the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by this Agreement or such Other Security Document in the manner so requested unless it
shall have been provided indemnity by the Secured Parties on whose behalf such request shall have
been made reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

          SECTION 10.03. Resignation and Removal of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may at
any time, by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent,
resign and be discharged from the responsibilities hereby created, such resignation to become
effective upon the appointment of a successor by the Administrative Agent with, so long as no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Company (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld) and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor. If no successor
shall be appointed and approved within 30 days after the date of any such resignation, the
Collateral Agent may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor to act
until a successor shall have been appointed as above provided or may, on behalf of the Secured
Parties, appoint a successor Collateral Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New
York having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.

          SECTION 10.04. Expenses and Indemnification. By accepting the benefits of this Agreement,
each of the Lenders severally agrees (i) to reimburse the Collateral Agent, on demand, in the
amount of its pro rata share from time to time (based on the Applicable Percentage of such Lender),
of any expenses referred to in this Agreement or in any Other Security Document securing
Obligations owed to such Lender and/or any other expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in
connection with the

 

 

32

enforcement and protection of the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties which
shall not have been paid or reimbursed by the Company or any other Grantor or Guarantor or paid
from the proceeds of Collateral as provided herein and (ii) to indemnify and hold harmless the
Collateral Agent and its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees,
agents and attorneys (each, an “Indemnified Party”), on demand, in the amount of such pro rata
share, from and against any and all liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements referred to in this Agreement and/or
incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Agreement or the Other Security Documents
or the enforcement and protection of the rights of the Secured Parties, to the extent the same
shall not have been reimbursed by the Company or any other Grantor or Guarantor or paid from the
proceeds of Collateral as provided herein; provided, in each case, that no Secured Party shall be
liable to any Indemnified Party for any portion of such expenses, liabilities, taxes, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting
from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Person.

ARTICLE XI

Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness

          SECTION 11.01. Subordination. To the fullest extent permitted under law, the Company and each
other Grantor and Guarantor hereby agrees that all Intercompany Indebtedness owed to it by any
Intercompany Obligor is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner set forth in
this Article, to the payment in full in cash of all Obligations of such Intercompany Obligor.

          SECTION 11.02. Dissolution or Insolvency. Upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or
reorganization of any Intercompany Obligor, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
arrangement or receivership proceedings or otherwise, or upon any assignment for the benefit of
creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of any Intercompany Obligor, or
otherwise:

     (a) the Secured Parties shall, as between such Secured Parties and the Company or any
other Grantor or Guarantor, first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of the
Obligations of such Intercompany Obligor in accordance with the terms of such Obligations
before the Company or such Grantor or Guarantor shall be entitled to receive any payment on
account of the Intercompany Indebtedness of such Intercompany Obligor, whether as
principal, interest or otherwise; and

     (b) any payment by, or distribution of the assets of, such Intercompany Obligor of any
kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Company or any
other Grantor or Guarantor would be entitled except for the provisions of clause (a) above
shall, upon receipt by the Company or such Grantor or Guarantor, be held in trust (or in a
compte de sequestre, if applicable) for the

 

 

33

applicable Secured Parties and promptly paid or delivered directly to the Collateral
Agent for the benefit of such Secured Parties to the extent necessary to make payment in
full in cash of all Obligations remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent
payment or distribution to such Secured Parties in respect of such Obligations.

          SECTION 11.03. Subrogation. Subject to (and only upon) the prior indefeasible payment in full
in cash of all the Obligations, the Company or any other Grantor or Guarantor holding Intercompany
Indebtedness of such Intercompany Obligor shall be subrogated to the rights of the applicable
Secured Parties to receive payments or distributions in cash, property or securities applicable to
such Obligations until all amounts owing on the Intercompany Indebtedness of such Intercompany
Obligor shall be paid in full, and as between and among such Intercompany Obligor, its creditors
(other than its Secured Parties) and the Company or any other Grantor or Guarantor holding
Intercompany Indebtedness of such Intercompany Obligor, no such payment or distribution made to the
Secured Parties by virtue of this Agreement that otherwise would have been made to the Company or
any other Grantor or Guarantor in respect of such Intercompany Indebtedness shall be deemed to be a
payment by such Intercompany Obligor on account of such Intercompany Indebtedness.

          SECTION 11.04. Other Creditors. Nothing contained in this Article is intended to or shall
impair, as between and among any Intercompany Obligor, its creditors (other than the Secured
Parties) and the Company or any other Grantor or Guarantor holding Intercompany Indebtedness of
such Intercompany Obligor, the obligations of such Intercompany Obligor to pay its Intercompany
Indebtedness as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms
thereof, or affect the relative rights of the Company or any other Grantor or Guarantor holding
Intercompany Indebtedness of such Intercompany Obligor and the creditors of such Intercompany
Guarantor (other than the Secured Parties).

          SECTION 11.05. No Waiver. No right of any Secured Party to enforce this Article shall at any
time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any of the
Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties, or any Intercompany Obligor, or by any noncompliance
by any Intercompany Obligor with the terms, provisions and covenants contained in this Agreement,
any Other Security Document or the Credit Agreement, and the Secured Parties are hereby expressly
authorized to extend, renew, increase, decrease, modify or amend the terms of the Obligations or
any security therefor, and to release, sell or exchange any such security and otherwise deal freely
with any Intercompany Obligor, all without notice to or consent of the Company or any other Grantor
or Guarantor and without affecting the liabilities and obligations of the parties hereto.

          SECTION 11.06. Obligations Hereunder Not Affected. (a) All rights and interests of the
Secured Parties under this Article, and all agreements and obligations of the Company and each
other Grantor or Guarantor under this Article, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective
of:

 

 

34

     (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement;

     (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term
of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or consent to
departure from the Credit Agreement;

     (iii) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any security interest in any
Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any
Guarantee, in respect of all or any of the Obligations; or

     (iv) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available
to, or a discharge of, any Intercompany Obligor in respect of Obligations or of the
Company or any Grantor or Guarantor in respect of the agreements contained in this
Article.

          (b) The agreements contained in this Article shall continue to be effective or be reinstated,
as the case may be, if at any time any payment of the Obligations or any part thereof is rescinded
or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of any Intercompany Obligor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been
made.

          (c) The Company and each Grantor and Guarantor hereby agree that the Secured Parties may,
without affecting or impairing any of the obligations of the Company or such Grantor or Guarantor
hereunder, from time to time to (i) renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise
change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of, the Obligations or any part
thereof and (ii) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Intercompany Obligor or
any other Person.

ARTICLE XII

Miscellaneous

          SECTION 12.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise
expressly permitted herein) be given as provided in the Credit Agreement. All communications and
notices hereunder to any Grantor or Guarantor other than the Company shall be given to it in care
of the Company as provided in the Credit Agreement.

          SECTION 12.02. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent or any
Secured Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power,
or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies
of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Credit Documents are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Credit

 

 

35

Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, no extension of credit by any Secured Party under the Credit Agreement or otherwise
shall be construed as a waiver of any default hereunder, regardless of whether the Collateral Agent
or any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of such default at the time. No notice or
demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle such Credit Party to any other or further
notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

          (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the
Credit Party or Credit Parties with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to
apply, subject to any consent required under the Credit Agreement.

          SECTION 12.03. Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The parties hereto
agree that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred
hereunder as provided in the Credit Agreement.

          (b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Credit Documents,
each Grantor and each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted under law, jointly and severally
agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent and the other Indemnitees (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any
counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of the
execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing or to
the Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity
shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses shall have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct
of such Indemnitee or from the breach of any of its obligations set forth in any Credit Document.

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

          SECTION 12.04. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto
is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of
such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Guarantor or Grantor
or the Collateral Agent that are

 

 

36

contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors
and assigns.

          SECTION 12.05. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Credit Parties in the Credit Documents and in the certificates or other
instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other
Credit Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the
execution and delivery of the Credit Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any
Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and
notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or
knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended
under the Credit Agreement, and shall, subject to Section 12.13, continue in full force and effect
as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount
payable under any Credit Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding
or any Swap Agreement under which Miscellaneous Obligations are outstanding remains in effect
(unless the Miscellaneous Obligations under such Swap Agreement shall have been guaranteed and
secured or the applicable counterparty shall have agreed otherwise as provided in Section
12.13(a)(v)), and so long as the Commitments under the Credit Agreement have not expired or
terminated.

          SECTION 12.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement. This Agreement may be executed
in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in this Section.
Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as
effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall
become effective as to any Credit Party when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Credit
Party shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been
executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Credit Party
and the Collateral Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to
the benefit of such Credit Party, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their
respective successors and assigns, except that no Credit Party shall have the right to assign or
transfer its rights or obligations hereunder (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void)
except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a
separate agreement with respect to each Credit Party and may be amended, modified, supplemented,
waived or released with respect to any Credit Party without the approval of any other Credit Party
and without affecting the obligations of any other Credit Party hereunder.

          SECTION 12.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The
parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the

 

 

37

economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions.

          SECTION 12.08. Right of Set-Off. Without limitation to the provisions of Section 5.07, if an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Loans shall have become due and
payable pursuant to Article VII of the Credit Agreement, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is
hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set
off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at
any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the
credit or the account of any Credit Party against any of and all the obligations of such Credit
Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and owed to such
Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement
and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are
in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may
have.

          SECTION 12.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

          (b) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in
New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and
any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and
each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect
of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the
extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final
judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this
Agreement or any other Credit Document shall affect any right that any party hereto may otherwise
have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document in
the courts of any jurisdiction.

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

          (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 12.01. Nothing in this Agreement

 

 

38

or any other Credit Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law.

          SECTION 12.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT OR
THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH
PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION,
SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE
BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

          SECTION 12.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein
are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the
construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

          SECTION 12.12. Security Interest Absolute. The pledges and security interests created hereby
and by the Other Security Documents shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any
lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document, any
agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to
any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other
term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any
departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement or
instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any
release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or
guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor or Guarantor in respect of the
Obligations or this Agreement.

          SECTION 12.13. Termination or Release. (a) All pledges, security interests and Liens created
hereunder and under the Other Security Documents shall be automatically released when (i) the
principal of all Loans, all accrued interest and fees and all other Obligations due and owing under
the Credit Agreement have been paid in full, (ii) the Lenders have no further commitment to lend
under the Credit Agreement, (iii) the LC Exposures under the Credit Agreement have been reduced to
zero, (iv) the Issuing Banks under the Credit Agreement have no further obligation to issue Letters
of Credit and (v) either (A) no US Miscellaneous Obligations are outstanding and all agreements
under which US Miscellaneous Obligations may arise have been terminated or (B) the US Miscellaneous
Obligations shall have been secured on a ratable basis with

 

 

39

the obligations under a refinancing or replacement of the Credit Agreement; provided that all
pledges, security interests and Liens created hereunder and under the Other Security Documents for
the benefit of each Miscellaneous Obligation (other than any US Miscellaneous Obligation) shall
remain in effect or, if the Credit Agreement is refinanced or replaced, shall be secured on a
ratable basis with the obligations under such refinancing or replacement of the Credit Agreement,
until such time as such Miscellaneous Obligation has been terminated or expired and all obligations
in respect thereof paid in full unless the counterparty in respect of such Miscellaneous Obligation
shall have expressly agreed under the governing documentation therefor or otherwise in writing that
such pledges, security interests and Liens shall be released prior to such time.

          (b) A Subsidiary shall automatically be released from its obligations as a Grantor or
Guarantor hereunder and under each Other Security Document, and all pledges hereunder or under any
Other Security Document of and security interests created hereunder or under any Other Security
Document in the Collateral of such Subsidiary shall be automatically released, upon the
consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement and the Credit Agreement as a result of
which such Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary; provided that any consent to such transaction
required by the Credit Agreement shall have been obtained and the terms of such consent shall not
provide otherwise.

          (c) Upon any sale or other transfer of any Collateral permitted under this Agreement and the
Credit Agreement by any Grantor to any Person other than the Company or a Subsidiary, or upon the
effectiveness of any written consent to the release of any pledge or security interest created
hereby or by any Other Security Document in respect of any Collateral pursuant to and in accordance
with the requirements of the Credit Agreement, all pledges, security interests and Liens created
hereunder or under any Other Security Document of, in or on such Collateral shall be automatically
released.

          (d) Upon any sale of any Equity Interests in a Foreign Subsidiary pursuant to and in
accordance with Section 6.06(e) of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall release any
pledge of, security interest in or Lien on such Equity Interests if the conditions to such release
set forth in such Section 6.06(e) shall have been satisfied and if the Company shall have delivered
a certificate to that effect to the Collateral Agent.

          (e) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d)
above, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to each applicable Grantor, at such Grantor’s
expense, all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or
release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without
recourse to or representation or warranty by the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding paragraph (b)
or (c) above, in the case of any Lien on any Equity Interests in an entity organized under the laws
of a jurisdiction outside the United States of America, such Lien shall not be released until the
Collateral Agent executes and delivers to the applicable Grantor a written consent to such release.
The Collateral Agent agrees to execute and deliver any such written consent required by the
immediately preceding sentence that is requested by the applicable

 

 

40

Grantor in connection with the
consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement and the Credit Agreements. In the case of any License of Intellectual Property to
any Person that is not an Affiliate of any Grantor that (i) is on terms that represent the transfer
of the greater part of the economic value of the subject Intellectual Property and in respect of
which the Borrower shall have delivered a notice to the Administrative Agent designating such
transfer as a Sale for purposes of Section 6.06, (ii) constitutes a Sale under Section 6.06, or
(iii) does not materially reduce the collateral value to the Secured Parties of the Material
Intellectual Property, taken as a whole, and, in each case, is permitted under this Agreement and
the Credit Agreement, the Liens on such Intellectual Property granted hereunder shall be subject to
the rights of third parties to use such Intellectual Property under such License; provided
that no such License shall be used for the purpose of securing or otherwise providing credit
support for Indebtedness.

          SECTION 12.14. Additional Grantors and Guarantors. (a) Upon execution and delivery by the
Collateral Agent and a Subsidiary of an instrument in a form agreed to by the Collateral Agent and
the Company (an “Additional Subsidiary Agreement”), such Subsidiary shall become a party hereto and
a Grantor and a Guarantor hereunder to the extent set forth in such Additional Subsidiary Agreement
and shall, to the extent applicable, guarantee and create pledges of and security interests in its
assets to secure the Obligations with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor
or Guarantor herein. At the time any Subsidiary shall become a party to this Agreement as provided
in the preceding sentence, the Schedules hereto shall be supplemented as appropriate to reflect the
guarantees, pledges and security interests, as applicable, given or created by such Subsidiary, and
such supplemented Schedules shall replace the Schedules that shall theretofore have been attached
to this Agreement. The execution and delivery of any Additional Subsidiary Agreement and the
amendment of the Schedules hereto as above provided shall not require the consent of any other
Credit Party. The rights and obligations of each Credit Party shall remain in full force and
effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Credit Party as a party to this Agreement.

          (b) Any Subsidiary that is a Guarantor may elect to become a Grantor at any time by delivering
a certificate in substantially the form agreed to by the Collateral Agent and the Company or in
such other form as may be reasonably required by the Collateral Agent. Any such election shall be
effective immediately upon the delivery of such certificate. At the time any such election is
made, the Schedules hereto shall be supplemented as appropriate to reflect the pledges and security
interests given or created by such Subsidiary, and such supplemented Schedules shall replace the
Schedules that shall theretofore have been attached to this Agreement. The execution and delivery
of any certificate hereunder and the amendment of the Schedules hereto as above provided shall not
require the consent of the Collateral Agent or any Credit Party. The rights and obligations of
each Credit Party shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new
Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

          SECTION 12.15. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby appoints the
Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the
provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and

 

 

41

executing any instrument that the Collateral
Agent may deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes hereof in each case upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution
either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor (a) to receive, endorse,
assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other
evidences of payment relating to the Collateral of such Grantor or any part thereof; (b) to demand,
collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the
Collateral; (c) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of
the Collateral; (d) to send verifications of Accounts Receivable to any Account Debtor; (e) to
commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court
of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to
enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (f) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or
defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (g) to notify,
or to require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Collateral
Agent relating to the Collateral; and (h) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any
agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other
acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as
though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided
that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to
make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received
by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with
respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof
or any property covered thereby. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be
accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to
them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be
responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross
negligence or wilful misconduct or the breach of such Person of its obligations set forth
herein.

          SECTION 12.16. Post-Closing Letter Agreements. Each party hereto agrees to complete the
actions and perform the obligations applicable to it under each of the post-closing letter
agreements dated the Effective Date between the Collateral Agent and the Company relating to the
Credit Agreement.

     SECOND LIEN GUARANTEE AND COLLATERAL AGREEMENT dated as of April 8,
2005, among THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY (the “Company”), the
Subsidiaries of the Company identified herein and DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST
COMPANY AMERICAS, as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”).

          A. The Lenders (such term and each other capitalized term used and not otherwise defined
herein having the meaning assigned to it in Article I) have agreed to extend credit to the Company
on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. The obligations of
the Lenders to extend such credit are conditioned upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement
by the Company, the Subsidiary Grantors and the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Subsidiary Grantors and
Subsidiary Guarantors are subsidiaries of the Company, will derive substantial benefits from the
extension of credit to the Company pursuant to the Credit Agreement and are willing to execute and
deliver this Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to extend such credit.

          B. The Obligations have been designated as “Designated Senior Obligations” or otherwise
constitute “Senior Obligations” under the Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, and the
Liens securing the Obligations are accordingly senior to the Liens securing the Junior Obligations
(as defined in the Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement) on the terms set forth in the
Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement.

          C. The Obligations constitute “Second Lien Obligations” under the Lenders Lien Subordination
and Intercreditor Agreement, and the Liens securing the Obligations are accordingly junior to the
Liens securing the First Lien Obligations (as defined in the Lenders Lien Subordination and
Intercreditor Agreement) on the terms set forth in the Lenders Lien Subordination and Intercreditor
Agreement.

          Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Reference is made to the Lenders Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement dated as of
April 8, 2005, among JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as collateral agent for the First Lien Secured
Parties referred to therein; the Collateral Agent; The Company; and the subsidiaries of the Company
named therein. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, this Agreement, the Liens
created hereby and the rights, remedies, duties and obligations provided for herein are subject in
all respects to the provisions of the Lenders Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement and,
to the extent provided therein, the First Lien Obligations Security Documents (as defined in the
Lenders Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement). In the event of any conflict or
inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Lenders Lien Subordination and
Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of the Lenders Lien Subordination and Intercreditor
Agreement shall control.

Guarantees

          SECTION 2.01. Guarantees. Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a
primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of the
Obligations, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally. Each of the Guarantors further
agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or
further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any
extension or renewal of any Obligation. Each of the Guarantors waives presentment to, demand of
payment from and protest to the Company or any other Credit Party of any of the Obligations, and
also

 

 

 10

waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee, notice of protest for nonpayment and all similar
formalities.

          SECTION 2.02. Guarantee of Payment. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its guarantee
hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right
to require that any resort be had by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to any
security held for the payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit
on the books of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Company or any
other Person.

          SECTION 2.03. No Limitations. (a) Except for termination of a Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder as expressly provided in Section 12.13, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall
not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including
any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any
defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or
otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to assert
any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Credit Document
or otherwise; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of
the terms or provisions of, any Credit Document or any other agreement, including with respect to
any other Guarantor under this Agreement; (iii) the release of any security held by the Collateral
Agent or any other Secured Party for the Obligations; (iv) any default, failure or delay, wilful or
otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations; or (v) any other act or omission that may or
might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or otherwise operate as a
discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in
full in cash of all the Obligations). Each Guarantor expressly authorizes the Secured Parties to
take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, to exchange, waive or
release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security
and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in their sole discretion or to release or
substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Obligations, all
without affecting the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

          (b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense based
on or arising out of any defense of the Company or any other Credit Party or the unenforceability
of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the
liability of the Company or any other Credit Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in
cash of all the Obligations. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at their
election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or
nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or
adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Company or any other
Credit Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Company or any
other Credit Party, in each case without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of

 

 

 11

any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly
paid in full in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any
defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable
law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy
of such Guarantor against the Company or any other Credit Party, as the case may be, or any
security.

          SECTION 2.04. Reinstatement. Each of the Guarantors agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part
thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Collateral Agent or
any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, any other Credit
Party or otherwise.

          SECTION 2.05. Agreement To Pay; Subrogation. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in
limitation of any other right that the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in
equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company or any other Credit
Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by
acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, such Guarantor hereby promises to and will
forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Collateral Agent for distribution to the applicable
Secured Parties in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligation. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any
sums to the Collateral Agent as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against the Company or
any other Credit Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution,
reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate to the Obligations of
the Company or such Credit Party on the terms set forth in Article X.

          SECTION 2.06. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping
itself informed of the Company’s and each other Credit Party’s financial condition and assets, and
of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature,
scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that
none of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise such
Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

interest in, to and under the Pledged Collateral, to have and to hold all such Pledged

      (iii) Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends,
interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the
Pledged Collateral to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends, interest,
principal and other distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid or distributed
in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the other Credit
Documents and applicable laws; provided that any noncash dividends, interest,
principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Equity Interests or
Pledged Debt Securities, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or
reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of any Pledged
Collateral or received in exchange for Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, or in
redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other
exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and
become part of the Pledged Collateral.

          (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the
Collateral Agent shall have notified the Grantors of the suspension of their rights under paragraph
(a)(iii) of this Section, all rights of any Grantor to dividends, interest, principal or other
distributions that such Grantor is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) of this
Section shall cease, and all such rights shall (subject to any applicable provisions of the First
Lien Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the Lenders Lien Subordination and Intercreditor
Agreement) thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall (subject as aforesaid) have
the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest,
principal or other distributions. All dividends, interest, principal or other distributions
received by any

 

 

 13

Grantor contrary to the provisions of this Section shall be held in trust for the benefit of
the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and shall be
forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent upon demand in the form in which so received (with any
necessary endorsement). Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the
Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be retained by the
Collateral Agent in an account to be established by the Collateral Agent upon receipt of such money
or other property and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.03. After
all Events of Default have been cured or waived and the Company has delivered to the Collateral
Agent a certificate to that effect, the Collateral Agent shall (subject to any applicable
provisions of the First Lien Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the Third Lien Collateral
Agreement, the Lenders Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement and the Lien Subordination
and Intercreditor Agreement) promptly repay to each Grantor (without interest) all dividends,
interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor would otherwise be permitted to retain
pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section and that remain in such account.

          (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the

(a)(i) of this Section, all rights of any Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and
powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section, and the obligations
of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section, shall cease, and all such rights
shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall (subject to any applicable
provisions of the First Lien Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the Lenders Lien Subordination
and Intercreditor Agreement) have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such
voting and consensual rights and powers; provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Majority
Lenders, the Collateral Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the
continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to exercise such rights.

          (d) Any notice given by the Collateral Agent to the Grantors suspending their rights under
paragraph (a) of this Section (i) may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing, (ii)
may be given to one or more of the Grantors at the same or different times and (iii) may suspend
the rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a)(i) or paragraph (a)(iii) in part without suspending
all such rights (as specified by the Collateral Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) and
without waiving or otherwise affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights to give additional notices
from time to time suspending other rights so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.

at any time hereafter acquired by such Grantor or in which such Grantor now has or at any time in
the future may acquire any right, title or interest.

          (b) As security for the payment or performance, as the case may be, in full of the Obligations
and the Swiss Franc Obligations, the Company hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, its successors
and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the Swiss Franc Secured Parties, a security
interest in all right, title or interest in or to any and all the Article 9 Collateral constituting
a “manufacturing facility”, as defined in the Swiss Franc Bond Agreement, now owned or at any time
hereafter acquired by it or in which it now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right,
title or interest.

          (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as any of the
Indentures shall remain in effect, the aggregate amount of the Obligations and the “Obligations” as
defined in the First Lien Guarantee and Collateral Agreement secured by (i) the security interests
granted under this Section and under the corresponding section of the First Lien Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement and (ii) the Liens created under the Mortgages and the “Mortgages” as defined
in the First Lien Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case to the extent the assets subject
to such security interests and Liens constitute Indenture Properties, shall not exceed the maximum
amount of the Obligations and such other “Obligations” that can be so secured without violation of
the Indentures (it being agreed that the obligations excluded by this paragraph from the benefits
of such security interests in and Liens on the Indenture Properties will be determined based on the
priority of the security interests and Liens securing the applicable obligations as set forth
herein, with the obligations secured by the most junior security interests and Liens being the
first excluded). If at any time after the date hereof any amount of the Obligations that may be
secured by any security interest or Lien on the Indenture Properties without violation of the
Indentures shall increase, in either case by reason of (i) the termination of the Indentures or any
provisions therein, (ii) any amendment of or waiver under the Indentures, (iii) any increase in any
applicable basket or exception under the Indentures as a result of the financial performance of the
Company and the Subsidiaries or otherwise or (iv) any other event or condition, the amount of the
outstanding Obligations and “Obligations” as defined in the First Lien Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement secured by security interests in and Liens on the Indenture Properties shall be
simultaneously and automatically increased to the maximum amount permitted under the Indentures.
No amount of Obligations or “Obligations” as defined in the First Lien Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement that shall be secured by security interests in and Liens on the Indenture Properties in
accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall at any time cease to be so
guaranteed or secured as a result of (A) any subsequent amendment of or waiver under any Indenture,
(B) any subsequent change in the amount of any basket or exception under any Indenture (to the
extent the secured amount of the Obligations and such other “Obligations” is not required to be
reduced under the terms of the Indentures) or (C) any other event or condition (to the extent the

secured amount of the Obligations and such other

 

 

 15

“Obligations” is not required to be reduced under the terms of the Indentures); provided, that
if the outstanding amount of the Obligations and the “Obligations” as defined in the First Lien
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall be reduced below the amount permitted to be secured by
security interests in and Liens on the Indenture Properties and shall later be increased, the newly
incurred Obligations and “Obligations” as defined in the First Lien Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement will be secured by security interests in and Liens on the Indenture Properties only to
the extent permitted under the Indentures at the time of such increase or thereafter (with the
“Obligations” as defined in the First Lien Guarantee and Collateral Agreement being secured to the
fullest extent permitted under the Indentures and the Obligations being secured only to the extent
permitted under the Indentures after giving effect to the security interests and Liens securing
such “Obligations” as defined in the First Lien Guarantee and Collateral Agreement). Nothing in
the preceding two sentences shall result in the aggregate amount of the Obligations secured by the
Indenture Properties exceeding the maximum amount of the Obligations that can be so secured without
violation of the Indentures.

          (d) The security interests granted under this Section are granted as security only and shall
not subject the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any
obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Article 9 Collateral.

          SECTION 5.02. Certain Filings. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral
Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing
statements (including fixture filings) with respect to the Article 9 Collateral of such Grantor or
any part thereof and amendments thereto that contain the information required by Article 9 of the
Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement
or amendment, including (i) whether such Grantor is an organization, the jurisdiction in which it
is organized, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such
Grantor and (ii) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing, a sufficient
description of the real property to which such Article 9 Collateral relates. Each Grantor agrees
to provide such information to the Collateral Agent promptly upon request. Each Grantor also
ratifies its authorization for the Collateral Agent to file in any relevant jurisdiction any
initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.

          (b) The Collateral Agent is further authorized to file with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any successor office or any similar office
in any other country) such documents as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of
perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting any security interest granted by any
Grantor in any Material Intellectual Property, without the signature of such Grantor, and naming
such Grantor or the Grantors as debtors and the Collateral Agent as secured party.

          SECTION 5.03. Representations and Warranties. The Grantors jointly and severally represent
and warrant to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties that each Grantor has good and valid
rights (including ownership rights) in the material

 

 

 16

Article 9 Collateral with respect to which it has purported to grant a security interest
hereunder.

          SECTION 5.04. Covenants. (a) Each Grantor agrees promptly (and in any event within 30 days)
to notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any change (i) in its corporate name, (ii) in the
location of its chief executive office, (iii) in its identity or type of organization or corporate
structure, (iv) in its Federal Taxpayer Identification Number or organizational identification
number or (v) in its jurisdiction of organization. Each Grantor agrees promptly to provide the
Collateral Agent with certified organizational documents reflecting any of the changes described in
the first sentence of this paragraph.

          (b) Each Grantor agrees to maintain, at its own cost and expense, such complete and accurate
records with respect to the Article 9 Collateral owned by it as shall be consistent with its
current practices and in accordance with such prudent and standard practices used in industries
that are the same as or similar to those in which such Grantor is engaged, but in any event to
include complete accounting records indicating all payments and proceeds received with respect to
any part of the Article 9 Collateral, and, at such time or times as the Collateral Agent may
reasonably request, promptly to prepare and deliver to the Collateral Agent schedules in form and
detail reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent showing the identity, amount and location of
any specified Article 9 Collateral.

          (c) Each year, at the time of delivery of annual financial statements of the Company with
respect to the preceding fiscal year pursuant to each Credit Agreement, the Company shall deliver
to the Collateral Agent a certificate executed on behalf of the Company by a Financial Officer and
a legal officer of the Company setting forth the information required pursuant to the Perfection
Certificate (including the Schedules thereto) or confirming that there has been no change in such
information since the date of such certificate or the date of the most recent certificate delivered
pursuant to this paragraph, and setting forth for any Aircraft owned by any Grantor and not already
listed on Schedule I hereto information sufficient to permit the Collateral Agent to file notices
of its security interests in such Aircraft with the Federal Aviation Administration, including the
model number, the tail number, the name, the serial number and the location of such Aircraft (and
Schedule I shall be automatically updated to list any Aircraft identified in any such certificate).

          (d) The Collateral Agent and such Persons as the Collateral Agent may reasonably designate
shall have the right, at the Grantors’ own cost and expense, to inspect the Article 9 Collateral
and the premises upon which any of the Article 9 Collateral is located and to verify under
reasonable procedures, in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, the validity,
amount, quality, quantity, value, condition and status of, or any other matter relating to, the
Article 9 Collateral, including, only after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, in the case of Accounts or Article 9 Collateral in the possession of any third person,
by contacting Account Debtors or the third person possessing such Article 9 Collateral for the
purpose of making such a verification. The Collateral Agent shall have the absolute right to share
any information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party.

 

 

 17

          (e) At its option, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges,
fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9
Collateral and not permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and
preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by
the Credit Agreement or this Agreement, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse
the Collateral Agent on demand for any payment made or any expense incurred by the Collateral Agent
pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall be
interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the
Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor
with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances
and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Credit Documents.

          (f) The Grantors, at their own expense, shall maintain or cause to be maintained insurance
covering physical loss or damage to the Inventory and Equipment included in the Article 9
Collateral in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement. Each Grantor
irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or
agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and
attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, during the continuance of an Event of Default, of making,
settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance,
endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the
proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect
thereto. In the event that any Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any
of the policies of insurance required hereby or to pay any premium in whole or part relating
thereto, the Collateral Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the
Grantors hereunder or any Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such
policies of insurance and pay such premiums and take any other actions with respect thereto as the
Collateral Agent deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with
this paragraph, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges
relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent and shall
be additional Obligations secured hereby.

          (g) Each Grantor shall maintain, in form and manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent, records of its Chattel Paper and its books, records and documents evidencing or pertaining

thereto.

          SECTION 5.05. Other Actions. In order to further ensure the attachment, perfection and
priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the security interests created
hereby, each Grantor agrees, in each case at such Grantor’s own expense, to take the following
actions with respect to the following Article 9 Collateral: if any Grantor shall at any time hold
or acquire any Instrument representing Indebtedness in excess of $3,000,000, such Grantor shall
forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such
instruments of transfer or

 

 

 18

assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably
request.

          SECTION 5.06. Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral. (a) Each
Grantor agrees that it will not do or omit to do any act (and will exercise commercially reasonable
efforts to prevent its licensees from doing or omitting to do any act) whereby any Patent
constituting Material Intellectual Property may become invalidated or dedicated to the public, and
agrees that it shall continue to mark any products covered by such Patent with the relevant patent
number consistent with good business judgment to establish and preserve its rights under applicable
patent laws.

          (b) Each Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or its sublicensees) will, for each
Trademark constituting Material Intellectual Property, (i) maintain such Trademark in full force
free from any claim of abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products
and services offered under such Trademark, (iii) display such Trademark with notice of Federal or
foreign registration consistent with good business judgment to establish and preserve its rights
under applicable law and (iv) not knowingly use or knowingly permit the use of such Trademark in
violation of any third party rights.

          (c) Each Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or sublicensees) will, for each work
covered by a Copyright constituting Material Intellectual Property, continue to publish, reproduce,
display, adopt and distribute the work with appropriate copyright notice consistent with good
business judgment to establish and preserve its rights under applicable copyright laws.

          (d) Each Grantor shall notify the Collateral Agent promptly if it knows or has reason to know
that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright constituting Material Intellectual Property may become
abandoned, lost or dedicated to the public, or of any materially adverse determination or
development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any
proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any
court or similar office of any country) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any Patent, Trademark
or Copyright, its right to register the same, or its right to keep and maintain the same; provided
that such notification need not be given if such impairment of such Intellectual Property is not
material viewed against the Material Intellectual Property as a whole.

          (e) Each Grantor will take all steps consistent with good business judgment that are
consistent with the practice in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark
Office, United States Copyright Office or any office or agency in any political subdivision of the
United States or in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue
each application relating to the Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights constituting Material
Intellectual Property (and to obtain the relevant grant or registration) and to maintain each
issued Patent and each registration of the Trademarks and Copyrights constituting Material
Intellectual Property, including timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use,
affidavits of incontestability

 

 

 19

and payment of maintenance fees, and, if consistent with good business judgment, to initiate
opposition, interference and cancelation proceedings against third parties.

          (f) Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall endeavor in
good faith to obtain all requisite consents or approvals by the licensor of each Copyright License,
Patent License or Trademark License to effect the assignment of all such Grantor’s right, title and
interest thereunder to the Collateral Agent or its designee.

          SECTION 5.07. Lockbox System. (a) The Grantors agree, at all times when the First Lien
Agreement shall remain in effect, to comply, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, with the
requirements of Section 5.07 of the First Lien Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, and compliance
with such requirements shall, at all times when the First Lien Agreement shall remain in effect, be
deemed to satisfy the requirements of paragraph (b) below, notwithstanding anything in such
paragraph (b) to the contrary.

          (b) The Grantors shall maintain, subject to the control of the Collateral Agent pursuant to
the Lockbox Agreements, a system of lockboxes and related Deposit Accounts (the “Lockbox System”).
Each Grantor agrees that it shall have no Deposit Accounts other than (a) Deposit Accounts in the
Lockbox System, (b) Excluded Operating Accounts and (c) Local Collection Accounts. Each Grantor
further agrees (i) to cause at all times to be in effect with respect to each Deposit Account
Institution at which any Deposit Account (other than an Excluded Operating Account or a Local
Collection Account) is maintained a Lockbox Agreement with respect to each such Deposit Account,
(ii) to notify and direct promptly each Account Debtor and every other Person obligated to make
payments on Accounts or in respect of any Inventory to make all such payments directly to one or
more Deposit Accounts in the Lockbox System (or, in the case of Accounts or Inventory of the
Company’s retail or Wingfoot divisions, Local Collection Accounts) or related lockboxes, (iii) to
use all reasonable efforts to cause each such Account Debtor and other Person to make all payments
with respect to Accounts and Inventory directly to one or more Deposit Accounts in the Lockbox
System (or, in the case of Accounts or Inventory of the Company’s retail or Wingfoot divisions,
Local Collection Accounts) or related lockboxes, (iv) promptly to deposit all payments received by
it on account of Accounts and Inventory, whether in the form of cash, checks, notes, drafts, bills
of exchange, money orders or otherwise, in one or more Deposit Accounts in the Lockbox System (or,
in the case of Accounts or Inventory of the Company’s retail or Wingfoot divisions, Local
Collection Accounts) or related lockboxes in the form in which received (but with any endorsements
of such Grantor necessary for deposit or collection), (v) to maintain at all times a Collateral
Proceeds Account in the United States, a U.S. dollar and a Canadian dollar Collateral Proceeds
Account in Canada and the RBC Deposit Account, in each case on terms reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent and (vi) to maintain in effect agreements with the applicable Deposit Account
Institutions under which all amounts on deposit in each Deposit Account (other than Excluded
Operating Accounts and Local Collection Accounts) located in the United States and in Canada at the
end of each Business Day will be paid to the Collateral Agent for deposit in the Collateral
Proceeds Account located in the United States or in the RBC Account, respectively, at the opening
of business on the next succeeding Business Day,

 

 

 20

and under which all amounts in the RBC Account will be paid not less often than weekly into
the Collateral Proceeds Accounts in Canada in same day funds. So long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and no less frequently than each
Business Day) remit any funds on deposit in each Collateral Proceeds Account to one or more
accounts of the Company that have been designated by the Company. Effective upon notice to the
Company after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Collateral
Proceeds Account, the RBC Deposit Account and each Deposit Account (other than Excluded Operating
Accounts and Local Collection Accounts) will, without further action on the part of any Grantor or
the Collateral Agent, convert into a closed lockbox account under the sole dominion and control of
the Collateral Agent in which all funds are held subject to the rights of the Collateral Agent
hereunder. Without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, no Grantor shall, in a
manner adverse to the Secured Parties, change the general instructions given to Account Debtors in
respect of payments to be deposited in the Lockbox System. Each Grantor irrevocably authorizes the
Collateral Agent, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to deliver a Control Notice under
each Lockbox Agreement. The Collateral Agent agrees with each Grantor that the Collateral Agent
shall not give any instructions pursuant to any Lockbox Agreement terminating such Lockbox
Agreement or the right of such Grantor to make withdrawals from any Deposit Account in the Lockbox
System unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or, after giving effect to
any withdrawal, would occur. The Company shall ensure that the aggregate amount contained in all
Local Collection Accounts taken together shall not at any time exceed a maximum amount determined
by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (not to be exercised unreasonably).

          SECTION 5.08. Insurance. Each Grantor shall cause the Collateral Agent to be named as loss
payee on all property insurance maintained in respect of property subject to the Mortgages.

ARTICLE VI

Other Pledges, Mortgages and Security Interests

          SECTION 6.01. Other Security Documents. In addition to the security interests created under
Articles III and V, the parties acknowledge that:

          (a) The Grantors and the Collateral Agent are entering into the Foreign Pledge Agreements
listed in Schedule II, and may in the future enter into additional Foreign Pledge Agreements, under
which they are pledging Equity Interests in Foreign Subsidiaries owned by them on a senior basis to
secure the Obligations.

          (b) The Grantors and the Collateral Agent are entering into the Mortgages as listed in
Schedule III, under which they are mortgaging the real properties and interests in the Mortgaged
Properties to secure the Obligations and, to the extent the Mortgaged Properties constitute
“manufacturing facilities”, as defined in the Swiss Franc Bond Agreement, the Swiss Franc
Obligations.

 

 

 21

          (c) Certain Grantors that are organized under the laws of Canada or one or more provinces
thereof are entering into the Canadian Security Agreements, under which they are creating security
interests in certain Collateral owned by them to secure the Obligations.

          SECTION 6.02. Other Security Documents Subject to This Agreement. (a) The parties hereto
and to the Other Security Documents agree that they will observe and be bound by, and that the
Other Security Documents will in all respects be subject to, the following provisions: (i) to the
extent applicable, the provisions of Section 5.01(c) (limiting the amount of the obligations
secured by the Indenture Properties owned by the Company); (ii) the provisions of Sections 7.02 and
7.03 (governing the exercise of remedies under the Other Security Documents and the distribution of
the proceeds realized from the exercise of remedies under the Security Documents); (iii) the
provisions of Articles IX and X (relating to the duties and responsibilities of the Collateral
Agent); and (iv) the provisions of Section 12.13 (providing for releases of Guarantees of and
Collateral securing the Obligations).

          (b) Each of the Mortgages (other than any Mortgage that sets forth in full the provisions
referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) of paragraph (a) above) shall contain a provision
substantially to the effect set forth below (in the language of such Mortgage) and satisfactory to
the Collateral Agent and its counsel:

“THIS AGREEMENT AND THE PLEDGES, SECURITY INTERESTS AND OTHER LIENS AND CHARGES CREATED HEREBY ARE
SUBJECT IN ALL RESPECTS TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE SECOND LIEN GUARANTEE AND COLLATERAL AGREEMENT
DATED AS OF APRIL 8, 2005, AS AMENDED, AMONG THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY, CERTAIN OF ITS
SUBSIDIARIES AND DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, AS COLLATERAL AGENT, AND ANY PROVISION OF
THIS AGREEMENT THAT IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH SECOND LIEN GUARANTEE AND
COLLATERAL AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED FOR ALL PURPOSES TO HAVE BEEN AMENDED TO CONFORM IN ALL
RESPECTS TO SUCH PROVISIONS.”

ARTICLE VII

Remedies

          SECTION 7.01. Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default under and as defined in the Credit Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, and
subject to the provisions of the Lender Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, (a) the
Collateral Agent may demand that each Grantor deliver each item of Collateral owned or held by it
to the Collateral Agent, and each Grantor agrees so to deliver all such Collateral, and (b) the
Collateral Agent shall have the right to take any of or all the following actions at the same or
different times with respect to any Collateral: (i) with respect to any Collateral consisting

 

 

 22

of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause its security interest in such Collateral to
become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Collateral by the applicable
Grantors to the Collateral Agent, or to grant any license or sublicense, whether general, special
or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, with respect to any such
Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral
Agent shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the
extent that waivers cannot be obtained), and (ii) with or without legal process and with or without
prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Collateral and without liability
for trespass to enter any premises where the Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking
possession of or removing the Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to
a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the right,
subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law and to the provisions of the Lender Lien
Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the
Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for
cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The
Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do
so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that
they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the
distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall
have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the
Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall (to the extent permitted
by law) 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 law) all rights of redemption, stay and
appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or
statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

          In the case of any Collateral that constitutes Article 9 Collateral, the Collateral Agent
shall give the applicable Grantors 10 days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable
notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other
jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in
the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale
at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such
sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered
for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times
within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and
state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof,
to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent
may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated
to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that
notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice
or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to
time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further
notice, be made at the time and place to which

 

 

 23

the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on
credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until
the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not
incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the
Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like
notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this
Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from
any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights
being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part
thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and
payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such
Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such
property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor (to the extent permitted by law).
For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase any Collateral or portion thereof shall be
treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to
such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion
thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have
entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations
paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the
Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and
to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts
having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale
pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be deemed to conform to the commercially
reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other
jurisdictions.

          SECTION 7.02. Exercise of Remedies under Other Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall
also have, subject to the provisions of the Lender Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement,
the right to exercise remedies provided for in each Other Security Document upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default.

          SECTION 7.03. Application of Proceeds. (a) Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the
Collateral Agent shall, subject to the provisions of the Lender Lien Subordination and
Intercreditor Agreement, apply the proceeds of the collection or sale of any Collateral, including
any Collateral consisting of cash, as follows:

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

 

 

 24

right or remedy hereunder or under any other Credit Document at the direction or for
the benefit of holders of the Obligations;

     SECOND, to the payment of all such Obligations as shall be owed to the Administrative
Agent and all such Obligations for fees, indemnification or the reimbursement of expenses
as shall be owed to any Issuing Bank;

     THIRD, to the payment in full of the other Obligations secured by such Collateral,
ratably in accordance with the amounts of such Obligations on the date of such application;

     FOURTH, to the “Collateral Agent” under and as defined in the Third Lien Collateral
Agreement and the other Junior Collateral Agents (as such term is defined in the Lien
Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement) for application as provided in the Third Lien
Collateral Agreement and in the Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement; and

     FIFTH, if the Third Lien Collateral Agreement shall no longer be in effect and there
shall be no outstanding “Junior Obligations”, as defined in the Lien Subordination and
Intercreditor Agreement, or if the Collateral Agent shall be advised by the “Collateral
Agent” under and as defined in the Third Lien Collateral Agreement and by each other Junior
Collateral Agent (as such term is defined in the Lien Subordination and Intercreditor
Agreement) that there are no persons entitled under the Third Lien Collateral Agreement or
the other documents governing “Junior Obligations”, as defined in the Lien Subordination
and Intercreditor Agreement, to receive such proceeds or cash, to the applicable Grantors,
their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

          The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such
proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the
Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial
proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a
sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or
purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid
over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication
thereof. For purposes of clause THIRD above, the Lien of any Mortgage, insofar as it secures the
Swiss Franc Obligations, will, to the maximum extent permitted under the Swiss Franc Bond
Agreement, be deemed to be of lower priority than the Lien of such Mortgage insofar as it secures
the Obligations. Notwithstanding the provisions of clause THIRD above, any Article 9 Collateral
consisting of cash deposited to collateralize Letter of Credit reimbursement obligations pursuant
to the Credit Agreement will be applied first against such reimbursement obligations. It is
understood that the Deposits held by the Administrative Agent under Section 2.01 of the First Lien
Agreement do not constitute assets of the Borrower or Collateral, and that nothing herein

 

 

 25

shall prevent or delay payments required to be made from the Deposit Account to the “Issuing
Banks” as provided in the First Lien Agreement.

          SECTION 7.04. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. (a) Each Grantor hereby grants
to the Collateral Agent, to the extent necessary to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise rights
and remedies under this Agreement and the Other Security Documents at such time as the Collateral
Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, an irrevocable, nonexclusive
license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use,
license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor,
and wherever the same may be located, including in such license reasonable access to all media in
which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs
used for the compilation or printout thereof, to the extent and only to the extent such license
would not violate or result in a default under any license or other agreement, whether express or
implied, between the Grantor and any Person other than a Wholly Owned Subsidiary. The rights of
the Collateral Agent under such license may be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent,
solely upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any
license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in accordance
herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of any Event of
Default.

          (b) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, any security interest
granted hereunder in any Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property to secure the Obligations
shall be subject to the license granted under the First Lien Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, as
such license may be exercised for the benefit of the holders of any Obligations (as defined in the
First Lien Collateral Agreement), and any sale or transfer of Collateral consisting of Intellectual
Property upon any exercise of remedies under this Agreement shall be made expressly subject to such
license.

          SECTION 7.05. Securities Act. In view of the position of the Grantors in relation to the
Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under
the Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter enacted
analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in
effect being called the “Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Pledged
Collateral permitted hereunder. Each Grantor understands that compliance with the Federal
Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Collateral Agent if the
Collateral Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might
also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged
Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or
limitations affecting the Collateral Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged
Collateral under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in
purpose or effect. Each Grantor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the
Collateral Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Collateral, limit the purchasers to
those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral for their own account,
for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor
acknowledges and agrees that in light of such

 

 

 26

restrictions and limitations, the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion (a)
may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of
registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal
Securities Laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such
sale. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other
terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event
of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all
or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that the Collateral Agent, in its sole and
absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the
possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred
until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The
provisions of this Section will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market
upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the
Collateral Agent sells.

          SECTION 7.06. Registration. Each Grantor agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, if for any reason the Collateral Agent desires to sell any of
the Pledged Collateral at a public sale, it will, at any time and from time to time, upon the
written request of the Collateral Agent, use its best efforts to take or to cause the issuer of
such Pledged Collateral to take such action and prepare, distribute and/or file such documents, as
are required or advisable in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Collateral Agent to permit
the public sale of such Pledged Collateral under applicable law. Each Grantor further agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Collateral Agent, each other Secured Party, any underwriter
and their respective officers, directors, affiliates and controlling persons from and against all
loss, liability, expenses, costs of counsel (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and
expenses of the Collateral Agent’s legal counsel), and claims (including the costs of
investigation) that they may incur insofar as such loss, liability, expense or claim arises out of
or is based upon any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus (or
any amendment or supplement thereto) or in any notification or offering circular relating to the
offering for sale of any Pledged Collateral, or arises out of or is based upon any alleged omission
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in any
thereof not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been caused by any untrue statement or
omission based upon information furnished in writing to such Grantor or the issuer of such Pledged
Collateral by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party expressly for use therein. Each
Grantor further agrees, upon such written request referred to above, to use its best efforts to
qualify, file or register, or cause the issuer of such Pledged Collateral to qualify, file or
register, any of the Pledged Collateral under the Blue Sky or other securities laws of such
jurisdictions as may be requested by the Collateral Agent and keep effective, or cause to be kept
effective, all such qualifications, filings or registrations. Each Grantor will bear all costs and
expenses of carrying out its obligations under this Section. Each Grantor acknowledges that there
is no adequate remedy at law for failure by it to comply with the provisions of this Section and
that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that its
agreements contained in this Section may be specifically enforced.

ARTICLE VIII

Indemnity, Subrogation and Subordination

          SECTION 8.01. Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and
subrogation as the Grantors and Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section
8.03), the Company agrees that (a) in the event a payment shall be made by any Guarantor under this
Agreement in respect of an Obligation of the Company or of any Subsidiary other than such Guarantor
or one of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such
payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment
shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (b) in the event any assets of any Grantor
shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any Other Security Document to satisfy in whole or in
part an Obligation of the Company or of any Subsidiary other than such Grantor or one of its
Subsidiaries, the Company shall indemnify such Grantor in an amount equal to the greater of the
book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.

          SECTION 8.02. Contribution and Subrogation. Each Guarantor and Grantor, other than the
Company, that has guaranteed, or granted Liens to secure, the Obligations (a “Contributing Party”)
agrees (subject to Section 8.03) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Guarantor
(other than the Company) hereunder in respect of any Obligations or assets of any other Grantor
(other than the Company) shall be sold pursuant to any Security Document to satisfy any Obligations
and such other Guarantor or Grantor (the “Claiming Party”) shall not have been fully indemnified by
the Company as provided in Section 8.01, the Contributing Party shall indemnify the Claiming Party
in an amount equal to the amount of such payment or the greater of the book value or the fair
market value of such assets, as the case may be, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party and the denominator shall be the
aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors and Grantors, other than the Company. For the purposes
of the previous sentence, the net worth of each Guarantor and Grantor shall be determined on the
Effective Date (or, in the case of any Guarantor or Grantor becoming a Guarantor or Grantor after
the Effective Date, the date on which such Guarantor or Grantor shall have become a Guarantor or
Grantor). Any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Section
shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party under Section 8.01 to the extent of such
payment.

          SECTION 8.03. Subordination. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, all rights of the Guarantors and Grantors under Sections 8.01 and 8.02 and all other
rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully
subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and no Guarantor or
Grantor shall seek to enforce any of such rights until the Obligations have been paid in full. No
failure on the part of the Company or any other Guarantor or Grantor to make the payments required
by Sections 8.01 and 8.02 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall
in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor or

 

 

 28

Grantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor and Grantor shall remain
liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Guarantor or Grantor hereunder.

ARTICLE IX

Duties of Collateral Agent

          SECTION 9.01. Actions Under This Agreement. (a) The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated
to take any action under this Agreement or any Other Security Document except for the performance
of such duties as are specifically set forth herein and therein. Subject to the provisions of
Article X of this Agreement and to the succeeding provisions of this Section, the Collateral Agent
shall take such actions, and only such actions, under this Agreement and the Other Security
Documents with respect to any Collateral as are requested by the Administrative Agent under the
Credit Agreement and as are not inconsistent with or contrary to the provisions of this Agreement,
any Other Security Document, the Lender Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement or the
Credit Agreement, as well as ministerial and/or administrative actions required or permitted by
this Agreement and the Other Security Documents.

          (b) THE COLLATERAL AGENT HAS CONSENTED TO SERVE AS COLLATERAL AGENT HEREUNDER ON THE EXPRESS
UNDERSTANDING, AND THE HOLDERS OF THE OBLIGATIONS, BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS OF THIS AGREEMENT,
SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE AGREED, THAT THE COLLATERAL AGENT SHALL HAVE NO DUTY AND SHALL OWE NO
OBLIGATION OR RESPONSIBILITY (FIDUCIARY OR OTHERWISE) TO THE HOLDERS OF ANY OBLIGATIONS, OTHER THAN
THE DUTY TO PERFORM ITS EXPRESS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR TERMS,
SUBJECT IN ALL EVENTS TO THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE X AND THE OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT
LIMITING THE RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT HEREUNDER.

ARTICLE X

Concerning the Collateral Agent

          SECTION 10.01. Limitations on Responsibility of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall
not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for the correctness of any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties contained herein or in any Other Security Document. The Collateral
Agent makes no representation as to the value or condition of the Collateral or any part thereof,
as to the title of any Grantor to the Collateral, as to the security afforded by this Agreement or
any Other Security Document or as to the validity, execution, enforceability, legality or
sufficiency of this Agreement or any Other Security Document, and the Collateral Agent shall incur
no liability or

 

 

 29

responsibility in respect of any such matters. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible
for insuring the Collateral, for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the
Collateral or otherwise for the maintenance of the Collateral, except as provided in the
immediately following sentence when the Collateral Agent has possession or control of the
Collateral. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to the
Grantors or to the holders of the Secured Obligations as to any Collateral in its possession or
control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Collateral Agent or any
income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights
pertaining thereto, except the duty to accord such Collateral the same care that it normally
accords to its own assets and the duty to account for moneys received by it. The Collateral Agent
shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance by any Guarantor or Grantor of
any of the covenants or agreements contained herein or in any other agreement. Neither the
Collateral Agent nor any officer, agent or representative thereof shall be personally liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by any such person in connection with this Agreement or any
Other Security Document except for such person’s own gross negligence or wilful misconduct (it
being understood that any action taken in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any Other
Security Document by the Collateral Agent or any such officer, agent or representative at the
direction or instruction of the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders under the Credit
Agreement (or not taken in the absence of any such directions or instructions) shall not constitute
gross negligence or wilful misconduct). Neither the Collateral Agent nor any officer, agent or
representative thereof shall be personally liable for any action taken by any such person in
accordance with any notice given by the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders under the
Credit Agreement hereunder or under any Other Security Document even if, at the time such action is
taken by any such Person, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders which gave the notice to take
such action shall no longer be the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders under the Credit
Agreement or the Secured Parties on behalf of which such notice was given are no longer the Secured
Parties. The Collateral Agent may execute any of the powers granted under this Agreement and
perform any duty hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact.

          SECTION 10.02. Reliance by Collateral Agent; Indemnity Against Liabilities, etc. (a)
Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement or any Other Security Document the
Collateral Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established with
respect to any Grantor or any other person in connection with the taking, suffering or omitting of
any action hereunder by the Collateral Agent, such matter may be conclusively deemed to be proved
or established by a certificate executed by an officer of such Person which is believed by the
Collateral Agent to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person, and the
Collateral Agent shall have no liability with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted in
reliance thereon.

          (b) The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel and shall not incur any liability in taking
any action hereunder or under any Other Security Document in good faith in accordance with any
advice of such counsel. The Collateral Agent shall have the right but not the obligation at any
time to seek instructions concerning the administration

 

 

 30

of this Agreement or any Other Security Document, the duties created hereunder or the
Collateral from any court of competent jurisdiction.

          (c) The Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in relying upon any resolution,
statement, certificate, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order or other paper
or document which it in good faith believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper party. The Collateral Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements
and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificate or opinions that are
believed by the Collateral Agent to be genuine and signed or furnished by the proper Person
furnished to the Collateral Agent in connection with this Agreement or any Other Security Document.

          (d) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have actual, constructive, direct or indirect
notice or knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default unless and until the Collateral Agent
shall have received written notice thereof from the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Agent
shall have no obligation whatsoever either prior to or after receiving such a notice that is
believed by the Collateral Agent to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person
to inquire whether an Event of Default has, in fact, occurred and shall be entitled to rely
conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any such notice so furnished to it.

          (e) If the Collateral Agent has been requested to take any specific action by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any Other Security Document,
the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by this Agreement or such Other Security Document in the manner so requested unless it
shall have been provided indemnity by the Secured Parties on whose behalf such request shall have
been made reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

          SECTION 10.03. Resignation and Removal of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may at
any time, by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent,
resign and be discharged from the responsibilities hereby created, such resignation to become
effective upon the appointment of a successor by the Administrative Agent with, so long as no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Company (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld) and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor. If no successor
shall be appointed and approved within 30 days after the date of any such resignation, the
Collateral Agent may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor to act
until a successor shall have been appointed as above provided or may, on behalf of the Secured
Parties, appoint a successor Collateral Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New
York having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.

          SECTION 10.04. Expenses and Indemnification. By accepting the benefits of this Agreement,
each of the Lenders severally agrees (i) to reimburse the Collateral Agent, on demand, in the
amount of its pro rata share from time to time (based

 

 

 31

on the Applicable Percentage of such Lender), of any expenses referred to in this Agreement or
in any Other Security Document securing Obligations owed to such Lender and/or any other expenses
incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the enforcement and protection of the rights of
the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties which shall not have been paid or reimbursed by the
Company or any other Grantor or Guarantor or paid from the proceeds of Collateral as provided
herein and (ii) to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and its Affiliates and its and
their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and attorneys (each, an “Indemnified
Party”), on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share, from and against any and all liabilities,
taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements referred to in this Agreement and/or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection
with this Agreement or the Other Security Documents or the enforcement and protection of the rights
of the Secured Parties, to the extent the same shall not have been reimbursed by the Company or any
other Grantor or Guarantor or paid from the proceeds of Collateral as provided herein; provided, in
each case, that no Secured Party shall be liable to any Indemnified Party for any portion of such
expenses, liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such
Person.

ARTICLE XI

Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness

          SECTION 11.01. Subordination. To the fullest extent permitted under law, the Company and each
other Grantor and Guarantor hereby agrees that all Intercompany Indebtedness owed to it by any
Intercompany Obligor is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner set forth in
this Article, to the payment in full in cash of all Obligations of such Intercompany Obligor.

          SECTION 11.02. Dissolution or Insolvency. Upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or
reorganization of any Intercompany Obligor, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
arrangement or receivership proceedings or otherwise, or upon any assignment for the benefit of
creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of any Intercompany Obligor, or
otherwise:

     (a) the Secured Parties shall, as between such Secured Parties and the Company or any
other Grantor or Guarantor, first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of the
Obligations of such Intercompany Obligor in accordance with the terms of such Obligations
before the Company or such Grantor or Guarantor shall be entitled to receive any payment on
account of the Intercompany Indebtedness of such Intercompany Obligor, whether as
principal, interest or otherwise; and

     (b) any payment by, or distribution of the assets of, such Intercompany Obligor of any
kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which

 

 

 32

the Company or any other Grantor or Guarantor would be entitled except for the
provisions of clause (a) above shall, upon receipt by the Company or such Grantor or
Guarantor, but subject to the provisions of the Lenders Lien Subordination and
Intercreditor Agreement, be held in trust (or in a compte de sequestre, if
applicable) for the applicable Secured Parties and promptly paid or delivered directly to
the Collateral Agent for the benefit of such Secured Parties to the extent necessary to
make payment in full in cash of all Obligations remaining unpaid, after giving effect to
any concurrent payment or distribution to such Secured Parties in respect of such
Obligations.

          SECTION 11.03. Subrogation. Subject to (and only upon) the prior indefeasible payment in full
in cash of all the Obligations, the Company or any other Grantor or Guarantor holding Intercompany
Indebtedness of such Intercompany Obligor shall be subrogated to the rights of the applicable
Secured Parties to receive payments or distributions in cash, property or securities applicable to
such Obligations until all amounts owing on the Intercompany Indebtedness of such Intercompany
Obligor shall be paid in full, and as between and among such Intercompany Obligor, its creditors
(other than its Secured Parties) and the Company or any other Grantor or Guarantor holding
Intercompany Indebtedness of such Intercompany Obligor, no such payment or distribution made to the
Secured Parties by virtue of this Agreement that otherwise would have been made to the Company or
any other Grantor or Guarantor in respect of such Intercompany Indebtedness shall be deemed to be a
payment by such Intercompany Obligor on account of such Intercompany Indebtedness.

          SECTION 11.04. Other Creditors. Nothing contained in this Article is intended to or shall
impair, as between and among any Intercompany Obligor, its creditors (other than the Secured
Parties) and the Company or any other Grantor or Guarantor holding Intercompany Indebtedness of
such Intercompany Obligor, the obligations of such Intercompany Obligor to pay its Intercompany
Indebtedness as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms
thereof, or affect the relative rights of the Company or any other Grantor or Guarantor holding
Intercompany Indebtedness of such Intercompany Obligor and the creditors of such Intercompany
Guarantor (other than the Secured Parties).

          SECTION 11.05. No Waiver. No right of any Secured Party to enforce this Article shall at any
time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any of the
Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties, or any Intercompany Obligor, or by any noncompliance
by any Intercompany Obligor with the terms, provisions and covenants contained in this Agreement,
any Other Security Document or the Credit Agreement, and the Secured Parties are hereby expressly
authorized to extend, renew, increase, decrease, modify or amend the terms of the Obligations or
any security therefor, and to release, sell or exchange any such security and otherwise deal freely
with any Intercompany Obligor, all without notice to or consent of the Company or any other Grantor
or Guarantor and without affecting the liabilities and obligations of the parties hereto.

 

 

 33

          SECTION 11.06. Obligations Hereunder Not Affected. (a) All rights and interests of the
Secured Parties under this Article, and all agreements and obligations of the Company and each
other Grantor or Guarantor under this Article, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective
of:

      (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement;

      (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term
of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or consent to
departure from the Credit Agreement;

      (iii) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any security interest in any
Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any
Guarantee, in respect of all or any of the Obligations; or

      (iv) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available
to, or a discharge of, any Intercompany Obligor in respect of Obligations or of the
Company or any Grantor or Guarantor in respect of the agreements contained in this
Article.

          (b) The agreements contained in this Article shall continue to be effective or be reinstated,
as the case may be, if at any time any payment of the Obligations or any part thereof is rescinded
or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of any Intercompany Obligor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been
made.

          (c) The Company and each Grantor and Guarantor hereby agree that the Secured Parties may,
without affecting or impairing any of the obligations of the Company or such Grantor or Guarantor
hereunder, from time to time to (i) renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise
change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of, the Obligations or any part
thereof and (ii) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Intercompany Obligor or
any other Person.

ARTICLE XII

Miscellaneous

          SECTION 12.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise
expressly permitted herein) be given as provided in the Credit Agreement. All communications and
notices hereunder to any Grantor or Guarantor other than the Company shall be given to it in care
of the Company as provided in the Credit Agreement.

          SECTION 12.02. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent or any
Secured Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power,
or any abandonment or discontinuance of

 

 

 34

steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the
Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Credit Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive
of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no extension of credit by any Secured Party under
the Credit Agreement or otherwise shall be construed as a waiver of any default hereunder,
regardless of whether the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of
such default at the time. No notice or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle such
Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

          (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the
Credit Party or Credit Parties with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to
apply, subject to any consent required under the Credit Agreement.

          SECTION 12.03. Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The parties hereto
agree that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred
hereunder as provided in the Credit Agreement.

          (b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Credit Documents,
each Grantor and each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted under law, jointly and severally
agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent and the other Indemnitees (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any
counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of the
execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing or to
the Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity
shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses shall have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct
of such Indemnitee or from the breach of any of its obligations set forth in any Credit Document.

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

 

 

 35

          SECTION 12.04. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto
is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of
such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Guarantor or Grantor
or the Collateral Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of
their respective successors and assigns.

          SECTION 12.05. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Credit Parties in the Credit Documents and in the certificates or other
instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other
Credit Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the
execution and delivery of the Credit Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any
investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent or
any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty
at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, and shall, subject to Section 12.13,
continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan
or any fee or any other amount payable under any Credit Document is outstanding and unpaid and so
long as the Commitments under the Credit Agreement have not expired or terminated.

          SECTION 12.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement. This Agreement may be executed
in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in this Section.
Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as
effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall
become effective as to any Credit Party when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Credit
Party shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been
executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Credit Party
and the Collateral Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to
the benefit of such Credit Party, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their
respective successors and assigns, except that no Credit Party shall have the right to assign or
transfer its rights or obligations hereunder (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void)
except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a
separate agreement with respect to each Credit Party and may be amended, modified, supplemented,
waived or released with respect to any Credit Party without the approval of any other Credit Party
and without affecting the obligations of any other Credit Party hereunder.

          SECTION 12.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The
parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the

 

 

 36

economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions.

          SECTION 12.08. Right of Set-Off. Without limitation to the provisions of Section 5.07, if an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Loans shall have become due and
payable pursuant to Article VII of the Credit Agreement, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is
hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set
off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at
any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the
credit or the account of any Credit Party against any of and all the obligations of such Credit
Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and owed to such
Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement
and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are
in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may
have.

          SECTION 12.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

          (b) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in
New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and
any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and
each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect
of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the
extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final
judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this
Agreement or any other Credit Document shall affect any right that any party hereto may otherwise
have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document in
the courts of any jurisdiction.

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

          (d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 12.01. Nothing in this Agreement

 

 

 37

or any other Credit Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law.

          SECTION 12.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT OR
THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH
PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION,
SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE
BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

          SECTION 12.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein
are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the
construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

          SECTION 12.12. Security Interest Absolute. The pledges and security interests created hereby
and by the Other Security Documents shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any
lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document, any
agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to
any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other
term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any
departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement or
instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any
release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or
guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor or Guarantor in respect of the
Obligations or this Agreement.

          SECTION 12.13. Termination or Release. (a) All pledges, security interests and Liens created
hereunder and under the Other Security Documents shall be automatically released when (i) the
principal of all Loans, all accrued interest and fees and all other Obligations due and owing under
the Credit Agreement have been paid in full, and (ii) the Lenders have no further commitment to
lend under the Credit Agreement.

          (b) A Subsidiary shall automatically be released from its obligations as a Grantor or
Guarantor hereunder and under each Other Security Document, and all pledges hereunder or under any
Other Security Document of and security interests

 

 

 38

created hereunder or under any Other Security Document in the Collateral of such Subsidiary
shall be automatically released, upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this
Agreement and the Credit Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary;
provided that any consent to such transaction required by the Credit Agreement shall have been
obtained and the terms of such consent shall not provide otherwise.

          (c) Upon any sale or other transfer of any Collateral permitted under this Agreement and the
Credit Agreement by any Grantor to any Person other than the Company or a Subsidiary, or upon the
effectiveness of any written consent to the release of any pledge or security interest created
hereby or by any Other Security Document in respect of any Collateral pursuant to and in accordance
with the requirements of the Credit Agreement, all pledges, security interests and Liens created
hereunder or under any Other Security Document of, in or on such Collateral shall be automatically
released.

          (d) Upon any sale of any Equity Interests in a Foreign Subsidiary pursuant to and in
accordance with Section 6.06(f) of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall release any
pledge of, security interest in or Lien on such Equity Interests if the conditions to such release
set forth in such Section 6.06(e) shall have been satisfied and if the Company shall have delivered
a certificate to that effect to the Collateral Agent.

          (e) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d)
above, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to each applicable Grantor, at such Grantor’s
expense, all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or
release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without
recourse to or representation or warranty by the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding paragraph (b)
or (c) above, in the case of any Lien on any Equity Interests in an entity organized under the laws
of a jurisdiction outside the United States of America, such Lien shall not be released until the
Collateral Agent executes and delivers to the applicable Grantor a written consent to such release.
The Collateral Agent agrees to execute and deliver any such written consent required by the
immediately preceding sentence that is requested by the applicable Grantor in connection with the
consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement and the Credit Agreements. In the case
of any License of Intellectual Property to any Person that is not an Affiliate of any Grantor that
(i) is on terms that represent the transfer of the greater part of the economic value of the
subject Intellectual Property and in respect of which the Borrower shall have delivered a notice
to the Administrative Agent designating such transfer as a Sale for purposes of Section 6.06, (ii)
constitutes a Sale under Section 6.06, or (iii) does not materially reduce the collateral value to
the Secured Parties of the Material Intellectual Property, taken as a whole, and, in each case, is
permitted under this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, the Liens on such Intellectual Property
granted hereunder shall be subject to the rights of third parties to use such Intellectual Property
under such License; provided that no such License shall be used for the purpose of securing
or otherwise providing credit support for Indebtedness.

 

 

 39

          SECTION 12.14. Additional Grantors and Guarantors. (a) Upon execution and delivery by the
Collateral Agent and a Subsidiary of an instrument in a form agreed to by the Collateral Agent and
the Company (an “Additional Subsidiary Agreement”), such Subsidiary shall become a party hereto and
a Grantor and a Guarantor hereunder to the extent set forth in such Additional Subsidiary Agreement
and shall, to the extent applicable, guarantee and create pledges of and security interests in its
assets to secure the Obligations with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor
or Guarantor herein. At the time any Subsidiary shall become a party to this Agreement as provided
in the preceding sentence, the Schedules hereto shall be supplemented as appropriate to reflect the
guarantees, pledges and security interests, as applicable, given or created by such Subsidiary, and
such supplemented Schedules shall replace the Schedules that shall theretofore have been attached
to this Agreement. The execution and delivery of any Additional Subsidiary Agreement and the
amendment of the Schedules hereto as above provided shall not require the consent of any other
Credit Party. The rights and obligations of each Credit Party shall remain in full force and
effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Credit Party as a party to this Agreement.

          (b) Any Subsidiary that is a Guarantor may elect to become a Grantor at any time by delivering
a certificate in substantially the form agreed to by the Collateral Agent and the Company or in
such other form as may be reasonably required by the Collateral Agent. Any such election shall be
effective immediately upon the delivery of such certificate. At the time any such election is
made, the Schedules hereto shall be supplemented as appropriate to reflect the pledges and security
interests given or created by such Subsidiary, and such supplemented Schedules shall replace the
Schedules that shall theretofore have been attached to this Agreement. The execution and delivery
of any certificate hereunder and the amendment of the Schedules hereto as above provided shall not
require the consent of the Collateral Agent or any Credit Party. The rights and obligations of
each Credit Party shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new
Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

          SECTION 12.15. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby appoints the
Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the
provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Collateral
Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof in each case upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which appointment is irrevocable and
coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent
shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with
full power of substitution either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor (a)
to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money
orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral of such Grantor or any part
thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and
releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or
bill of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (d) to send verifications of Accounts Receivable
to any Account Debtor; (e) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at
law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or
any of the Collateral or to

 

 

 40

enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (f) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust
or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (g) to
notify, or to require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the
Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral; and (h) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make
any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all
other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and
completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all
purposes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the
Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of
any payment received by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take
any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in
respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured
Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the
powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents
shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own
gross negligence or wilful misconduct or the breach of such Person of its obligations set forth
herein.

          SECTION 12.16. Post-Closing Letter Agreements. Each party hereto agrees to complete the
actions and perform the obligations applicable to it under each of the post-closing letter
agreements dated the Effective Date between the Collateral Agent and the Company relating to the
Credit Agreement.
