notwithstanding (including, without limitation, the grant of any rights to the Secured Party),
Debtor shall remain liable under each of the Accounts to observe and perform all the conditions and
obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any
agreement giving rise to each such Account. The Secured Party shall have no obligation or liability
under any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this
Agreement or the receipt by the Secured Party of any payment relating to such Account pursuant
hereto, nor shall the Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of
Debtor under or pursuant to any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any
payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or

collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be
entitled at any time or times.

at any time and itself, or by its agents, collect all Accounts, and any payments of Accounts
collected by Debtor shall be held by Debtor in trust for the Secured Party, segregated from other
funds of Debtor. All Proceeds, while held by the Secured Party (or by Debtor in trust for the
Secured Party) shall continue to be Collateral securing all of the Secured Obligations and shall
not constitute payment thereof until applied as hereinafter provided.

ARTICLE VI

the Secured Party and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true

appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or
desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Debtor hereby gives the Secured Party the power and right, on behalf of Debtor, without
notice to or assent by the Debtor, to do the following:

any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder

adjust any suit, action, or proceeding described in the preceding clause and, in connection
therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Secured Party may deem appropriate, and (v)
generally, to sell or transfer and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of
the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Secured Party

-8-

 

were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the option of the Secured Party
and the expense of Debtor, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the
Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve, or realize upon the Collateral and the Liens
of the Secured Party thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and
effectively as Debtor might do; and

          (e) at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to execute,
in connection with any foreclosure, any endorsements, assignments, or other instruments of
conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

     Debtor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by
virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable
so long as any Obligation remains outstanding or any Commitment exists.

     6.2 No Duty on the Part of Secured Party. The powers conferred on the Secured Party
hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured Party in the Collateral and shall not
impose any duty upon the Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Party shall be
accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers,
and, except for its willful misconduct and/or own gross negligence, neither it nor any of its
officers, directors, employees, or agents shall be responsible to the Debtor for any act or failure
to act hereunder.

ARTICLE VII

REMEDIES; RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT

     7.1 Rights and Remedies Generally. If an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, then and in every such case, the Secured Party shall have all the rights of a secured
party under the UCC, all rights now or hereafter existing under all other applicable laws, and,
subject to any mandatory requirements of applicable law then in effect, all rights set forth in
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. No enumeration of rights in this Section or
elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document or other agreement shall be deemed to in
any way limit the rights of the Secured Party as described in this Section.

     7.2 Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, in addition to
the rights of the Secured Party specified with respect to the payment of Accounts, (a) all Proceeds
received by Debtor consisting of cash, checks, and other near cash items shall be held by Debtor in
trust for the Secured Party, segregated from other funds of Debtor, and shall forthwith upon
receipt by Debtor, be turned over to the Secured Party, in the same form received by Debtor
(appropriately indorsed or assigned by the Debtor to the order of the Secured Party or in such
other manner as shall be satisfactory to the Secured Party), and (b) any and all such Proceeds
received by the Secured Party (whether from Debtor or otherwise), or any part thereof, shall be
applied by the Secured Party as provided in Section 7.10 hereof.

-9-

 

     7.3 Collection of Accounts. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing:

          (a) the Secured Party may instruct the obligor or obligors on any obligation owing or
purporting to be owed to Debtor constituting the Collateral (including, without limitation, the
Accounts) to make any payment required by the terms of such obligation directly to the Secured
Party;

          (b) the Secured Party shall have the right from time to time to modify (including, without
limitation, to extend the time for payment or arrange for payment in installments) or waive
rights under any such obligation and to compromise or settle counterclaims or setoffs
with the obligor under any such obligation; and

          (c) any and all of such proceeds of such collections paid to the Secured Party, or any part
thereof, (after deduction of the Secured Party’s expenses of collection, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), shall be applied by the Secured Party as
provided in Section 7.10 hereof.

     7.4 Disposition of Collateral. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing:

          (a) the Secured Party may direct Debtor to sell, assign, or otherwise liquidate or dispose of
all or from time to time any portion of the Collateral, and Debtor shall do so, and the Secured
Party may take possession of the Proceeds of such Collateral. The Secured Party may direct Debtor
to direct that all Proceeds of such Collateral be paid directly to the Secured Party or may permit
the Proceeds of such Collateral to be paid to Debtor and all such Proceeds consisting of cash,
checks, or near cash items shall be held by Debtor in trust for the Secured Party, segregated from
other funds of Debtor in a separate deposit account containing only Proceeds and shall forthwith
upon receipt by Debtor, be turned over to the Secured Party, in the same form received by Debtor
(appropriately indorsed or assigned by Debtor to the order of the Secured Party or in such other
manner as shall be satisfactory to the Secured Party); and

          (b) any and all such Proceeds received by the Secured Party (whether from Debtor or
otherwise), shall be applied by the Secured Party as provided in Section 7.10 hereof.

     7.5 Debtor’s Accounts. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
Secured Party may liquidate any securities held in any accounts of Debtor and apply the proceeds
thereof and any other amounts held in any accounts of Debtor as provided in Section 7.10 hereof.

     7.6 Possession of Collateral. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
(a) the Secured Party may, personally or by agents or attorneys, immediately retake possession of
the Collateral (including the originals of all or any Accounts and Account Records) or any part
thereof, from Debtor or any other Person which then has possession of any part thereof with or
without notice or judicial process, and for that purpose may enter upon Debtor’s premises where any
of the Collateral is located and remove the same and may make reasonable use in connection with
such removal of any and all services, supplies, aids, and other facilities of Debtor, and (b) upon
three days’ notice to Debtor, Debtor shall, at its own expense, assemble the Collateral, including,
without limitation, the originals of all Account Records (or from time to time any

-10-

 

portion thereof) and make it available to the Secured Party by delivery to the Secured Party at any
location designated by the Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to both parties, whether at
the premises of Debtor or the Secured Party or elsewhere. Debtor shall, at its sole expense, store
and keep any Collateral so assembled at such place or places pending further action by the Secured
Party and while the Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such guards and maintenance
services as shall be reasonably necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain the
Collateral in good condition. Debtor’s obligation to so assemble and deliver the Collateral is of
the essence of this Agreement and, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having
jurisdiction, the Secured Party shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by the
Debtor of such obligation.

     7.7 Disposition of the Collateral. If an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, the Secured Party may sell, assign, lease, give an option or options to purchase, or
otherwise dispose of the Collateral (or contract to do any of the foregoing) under one or more
contracts or as an entirety, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, without the necessity
of gathering at the place of sale the property to be sold, at public or private sale or sales,
conducted by any officer, nominee or agent of, or auctioneer or attorney for the Secured Party at
any location of any third party conducting or otherwise involved in such sale or any office of the
Secured Party or elsewhere and in general in such manner, at such time or times and upon such terms
and conditions and at such price as may be commercially reasonable, for cash or on credit or for
future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Any of the Collateral may be sold, leased,
assigned, or options or contracts entered to do so, or otherwise disposed of, in the condition in
which the same existed when taken by the Secured Party or after any overhaul or repair which may be
commercially reasonable. Any such disposition which shall be a private sale or other private
proceeding shall be made upon not less than ten days’ written notice to Debtor specifying the time
after which such disposition is to be made and the intended sale price or other consideration
therefor. Any such disposition which shall be a public sale shall be made upon not less than ten
days’ written notice to Debtor (which Debtor agrees to be commercially reasonable) specifying the
time and place of such sale and, in the absence of applicable requirements of law to the contrary,
shall be by public auction (which may, at the option or the Secured Party, be subject to reserve),
after publication of commercially reasonable notice of such auction. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, the Secured Party may bid for and become the purchaser of the Collateral or any
item thereof, offered for sale in accordance with this Section without accountability to Debtor
(except to the extent of surplus money received) as provided below. In the payment of the purchase
price of the Collateral, the purchaser shall be entitled to have credit on account of the purchase
price thereof of amounts owing to such purchaser on account of any of the Secured Obligations and
any such purchaser may deliver notes, claims for interest, or claims for other payment with respect
to such Secured Obligations in lieu of cash up to the amount which would, upon distribution of the
net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon. Such notes, if the amount payable hereunder shall
be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the holder thereof after being
appropriately stamped to show partial payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Collateral
or any portion thereof is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type
customarily sold in a recognized market only such notice as shall be reasonably practicable shall
be required.

     7.8 Recourse. Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any
sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to satisfy the Secured Obligations.

-11-

 

Debtor shall also be liable for all reasonable expenses of the Secured Party incurred in
connection with collecting such deficiency, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

     7.9 Expenses; Attorneys’ Fees. Debtor shall reimburse the Secured Party for all its
reasonable expenses in connection with the exercise of its rights and remedies hereunder,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by the
Secured Party.

     7.10 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any disposition of Collateral shall be
applied as follows:

             (a) to the payment of any and all reasonable expenses and fees (including attorneys’ fees and
disbursements) incurred by the Secured Party in connection with the exercise of its rights and
remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable expenses and fees in connection with
obtaining, taking possession of, removing, holding, insuring, repairing, preparing for sale or
lease, storing and disposing of Collateral;

             (b) to the satisfaction of the Secured Obligations in such order as the Secured Party may
elect; and

             (c) after the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Secured Obligations, to Debtor or to
whomever may lawfully be entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may
direct.

     7.11 Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. The Secured Party’s
sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping, and physical preservation of the Collateral in
its possession, under Section 9.207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same
manner as the Secured Party deals with similar property for its own account. The Secured Party
shall have no obligation to take any steps to preserve rights against prior parties to any
Collateral. Except for matters constituting willful misconduct and/or gross negligence, neither
the Secured Party nor any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be liable for
failure to demand, collect, or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in
doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the
request of the Debtor or otherwise.

     7.12 Waiver of Claims. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Debtor
hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, notice of and judicial hearing in
connection with the Secured Party’s taking possession or the Secured Party’s disposition of any of
the Collateral in accordance herewith, including, without limitation, any and all prior notice and
hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies and any such right which the Debtor would otherwise
have under the constitution or any statute of the United States or any state, and Debtor hereby
further waives, to the extent permitted by law:

             (a) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession except any damages which are the
direct result of the willful misconduct and/or gross negligence of the Secured Party;

-12-

 

          (b) all other requirements as to the time, place, and terms of sale or other requirements with
respect to the enforcement of the rights of the Secured Party hereunder;

          (c) demand of performance or other demand, notice of intent to demand or accelerate, notice of
acceleration, presentment, protest, advertisement, or notice of any kind to or upon Debtor or any
other Person, except as may be required by the Credit Agreement; and

          (d) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, diligence, stay,
extension, or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law in order to stay or
delay the enforcement of this Agreement, including the absolute sale of the Collateral or any
portion thereof, and Debtor, for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now
or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws.

     7.13 Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Secured Party shall have instituted
any proceeding to enforce any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, sale,
entry, or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason,
then and in every such case, Debtor and the Secured Party shall be returned to their former
positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral subject to the security interest
created under this Agreement, and all rights, remedies, and powers of the Secured Party shall
continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNITY

     8.1 INDEMNITY. (a) DEBTOR AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, REIMBURSE, AND HOLD THE INDEMNITEES
HARMLESS FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, CLAIMS, ACTIONS,
JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DISBURSEMENTS (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND
EXPENSES) (FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION ALL OF THE FOREGOING ARE COLLECTIVELY CALLED
“EXPENSES”) OF WHATSOEVER KIND OR NATURE WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED ON, ASSERTED AGAINST, OR INCURRED BY
ANY OF SUCH INDEMNITEES IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE DOCUMENTS
EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR IN ANY OTHER WAY CONNECTED WITH THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE TERMS OF OR THE PRESERVATION OF
ANY RIGHTS HEREUNDER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THOSE ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE, WHETHER
SOLE OR CONCURRENT, OF ANY INDEMNITEE; PROVIDED THAT NO SUCH INDEMNITEE SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED
PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION FOR EXPENSES TO THE EXTENT ARISING FROM THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AND/OR
GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNITEE.

          (b) Debtor agrees that upon written notice by any such Indemnitee of any assertion that could
give rise to an Expense, Debtor shall assume full responsibility for the defense thereof. Without
limiting the application of part (a) of this Section, Debtor agrees to pay

-13-

 

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

          (c) Without limiting the application of parts (a) or (b) of this Section, Debtor agrees to
pay, indemnify, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any Expenses which such
Indemnitee may suffer, expend, or incur in consequence of or growing out of any misrepresentation
by any Debtor in this Agreement or in any statement or writing contemplated by or made or delivered
pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement.

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

     8.2 Indemnity Obligations Secured by Collateral; Survival. Any amounts paid by any
Indemnitee as to which such Indemnitee has the right to reimbursement shall constitute Secured
Obligations secured by the Collateral. The indemnity obligations of the Debtor contained in this
Article VIII shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the full payment and
performance of the Secured Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

     9.1 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Secured
Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder and no course of dealing between any
Debtor and the Secured Party shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. A waiver by the Secured Party of
any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or
remedy which the Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and
remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and as
often and in such order as the Secured Party deems expedient, and are not exclusive of any rights
or remedies which the Secured Party would otherwise have whether by agreement or now or hereafter
existing under applicable law. No notice to or demand on Debtor in any case shall entitle Debtor
to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver
of the rights of the Secured Party to any other or further action in any circumstances without
notice or demand.

-14-

 

     9.2 Termination; Release. When the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly
paid and performed in full and the Commitment has terminated, this Agreement shall terminate, and
the Secured Party, at the request and sole expense of Debtor, will execute and deliver to Debtor
the proper instruments (including Uniform Commercial Code termination statements) acknowledging
the termination of this Agreement, and will duly assign, transfer, and deliver to Debtor, without
recourse, representation, or warranty of any kind whatsoever, such of the Collateral as may be in
possession of the Secured Party and has not theretofore been disposed of, applied, or released.

     9.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and
delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same
instrument.

     9.4 Marshalling. The Secured Party shall not be under any obligation to marshall any
assets in favor of Debtor or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the
Secured Obligations.

     9.5 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the
Secured Obligations shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity,
legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or
obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

     9.6 Financing Statement Filing. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement
shall be sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed in lieu of the original to the
extent permitted by applicable law.

     9.7 Notices and Other Communications. Except as to oral notices expressly authorized
herein, all notices, requests, and communications under this Agreement shall be in writing
(including by telecopy). Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, any such notice, request, or
communication shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when provided in accordance with the
terms of the Credit Agreement.

     9.8 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of Debtor, the Secured Party, and their respective legal representatives, successors, and assigns.
No other Person shall have any right, benefit, priority, or interest hereunder or as a result
hereof or have standing to require satisfaction of provisions hereof in accordance with their
terms, and any or all of such provisions may be freely waived in whole or in part by the Secured
Party at any time if the Secured Party in its sole discretion deems it advisable to do so.

     9.9 Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be amended,
supplemented, modified, discharged, or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing
signed by the party against whom enforcement of the amendment, supplement, modification,
discharge, or termination is sought.

     9.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement
between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject hereof and shall

- 15 -

 

supersede any prior agreements, whether written or oral, between the Parties hereto
relating to the subject hereof. Furthermore, in this regard, this Agreement and the other written
Loan Documents represent, collectively, the final agreement among the
Parties hereto and may not be
contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of such Parties.
There are no unwritten oral agreements among such Parties.

     9.11 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the Laws of the State of Texas (without giving effect to principles thereof
relating to conflicts of laws).

     9.12 Jurisdiction and Venue. All actions or proceedings with respect to, arising
directly or indirectly in connection with, out of, related to or from this Agreement or any other
Loan Document to which any Debtor is a Party may be litigated at the sole discretion and election
of the Secured Party, in courts having situs in Dallas, Dallas County, Texas. Debtor hereby
submits to the jurisdiction of any local, state, or federal court located in Dallas, Dallas
County, Texas, and hereby waives any rights it may have to transfer or change the jurisdiction or
venue of any litigation brought against it by the Secured Party in accordance with this
Section.

- 16 -

Collateral against all claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any
interest therein adverse to the Secured Party.

ACCOUNTS

     5.1 Debtor Remains Liable under Accounts. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding (including, without limitation, the grant of any rights to the Secured Party),
Debtor shall remain liable under each of the Accounts to observe and perform all the conditions and
obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any
agreement giving rise to each such Account. The Secured Party shall have no obligation or liability
under any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this
Agreement or the receipt by the Secured Party of any payment relating to such Account pursuant
hereto, nor shall the Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of
Debtor under or pursuant to any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any
payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or
as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Account (or any agreement giving

collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be
entitled at any time or times.

     5.2 Collections on Accounts. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the

the continuance of any Event of Default, the Secured Party may curtail or terminate said authority
at any time and itself, or by its agents, collect all Accounts, and any payments of

- 7 -

 

Accounts collected by Debtor shall be held by Debtor in trust for the Secured Party, segregated
from other funds of Debtor. All Proceeds, while held by the Secured Party (or by Debtor in trust
for the Secured Party) shall continue to be Collateral securing all of the Secured Obligations and
shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as hereinafter provided.

ARTICLE VI

POWER OF ATTORNEY

     6.1 Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints the Secured Party and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as
its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and
stead of Debtor and in the name of Debtor or in its own name, from time to time in the discretion
of the Secured Party, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and
all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary
or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Debtor hereby gives the Secured Party the power and right, on behalf of Debtor,
without notice to or assent by the Debtor, to do the following:

          (a) in the case of any Account, at any time when the authority of Debtor to collect the
Accounts has been curtailed or terminated pursuant hereto, or in the case of any other Collateral,
at any time when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in the name of Debtor
or its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts,
notes, acceptances, or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under, or with respect to,
any Collateral; in the name of Debtor or otherwise to direct any party liable for any payment under
any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder
directly to the Secured Party or as the Secured Party shall direct; to ask or demand for, collect,
receive payment of, and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims, and other amounts due or to become
due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral;

          (b) at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to prepare,
sign, and file financing statements and amendments thereto in the name of Debtor;

          (c) at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to take or
cause to be taken all actions necessary to perform or comply or cause performance or compliance
with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, actions to pay or discharge taxes
and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, to effect any repairs or obtain
any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement, and to pay all or any part of the premiums
therefor and the costs thereof;

          (d) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) to sign and
indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts,

any of the Collateral, (ii) to commence and prosecute any suits, actions, or proceedings at law or
in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof
and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral, (iii) to defend any

- 8 -

 

suit, action, or proceeding brought against Debtor with respect to any Collateral, (iv) to settle,
compromise, or adjust any suit, action, or proceeding described in the preceding clause and, in
connection therewith, to give such discharges or releases as the Secured Party may deem
appropriate, and (v) generally, to sell or transfer and make any agreement with respect to or
otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Secured Party were
the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the option of the Secured Party and the
expense of Debtor, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Secured Party
deems necessary to protect, preserve, or realize upon the Collateral and the Liens of the Secured
Party thereon and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as Debtor
might do; and

          (e) at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to execute,
in connection with any foreclosure, any endorsements, assignments, or other instruments of
conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

     Debtor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by
virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable
so long as any Obligation remains outstanding or any Commitment exists.

     6.2 No Duty on the Part of Secured Party. The powers conferred on the Secured Party
hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured Party in the Collateral and shall not
impose any duty upon the Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Party shall be
accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers,
and, except for its willful misconduct and/or own gross negligence, neither it nor any of its
officers, directors, employees, or agents shall be responsible to the Debtor for any act or
failure to act hereunder.

ARTICLE VII

REMEDIES; RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT

     7.1 Rights and Remedies Generally. If an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, then and in every such case, the Secured Party shall have all the rights of a secured
party under the UCC, all rights now or hereafter existing under all other applicable laws, and,
subject to any mandatory requirements of applicable law then in effect, all rights set forth in
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. No enumeration of rights in this Section or
elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document or other agreement shall be deemed to in
any way limit the rights of the Secured Party as described in this Section.

     7.2 Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, in addition to the
rights of the Secured Party specified with respect to the payment of Accounts, (a) all Proceeds
received by Debtor consisting of cash, checks, and other near cash items shall be held by Debtor in
trust for the Secured Party, segregated from other funds of Debtor, and shall forthwith upon
receipt by Debtor, be turned over to the Secured Party, in the same form received by Debtor
(appropriately indorsed or assigned by the Debtor to the order of the Secured Party or in such
other manner as shall be satisfactory to the Secured Party), and (b) any and all such Proceeds

- 9 -

 

received by the Secured Party (whether from Debtor or otherwise), or any part thereof, shall be
applied by the Secured Party as provided in Section 7.10 hereof.

     7.3 Collection of Accounts. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing:

          (a) the Secured Party may instruct the obligor or obligors on any obligation owing or
purporting to be owed to Debtor constituting the Collateral (including, without limitation, the
Accounts) to make any payment required by the terms of such obligation directly to the Secured
Party;

          (b) the Secured Party shall have the right from time to time to modify (including, without
limitation, to extend the time for payment or arrange for payment in installments) or waive
rights under any such obligation and to compromise or settle counterclaims or setoffs
with the obligor under any such obligation; and

          (c) any and all of such proceeds of such collections paid to the Secured Party, or any part
thereof, (after deduction of the Secured Party’s expenses of collection, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), shall be applied by the Secured Party
as provided in Section 7.10 hereof.

     7.4 Disposition of Collateral. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing:

          (a) the Secured Party may direct Debtor to sell, assign, or otherwise liquidate or dispose of
all or from time to time any portion of the Collateral, and Debtor shall do so, and the Secured
Party may take possession of the Proceeds of such Collateral. The Secured Party may direct Debtor
to direct that all Proceeds of such Collateral be paid directly to the Secured Party or may permit
the Proceeds of such Collateral to be paid to Debtor and all such Proceeds consisting of cash,
checks, or near cash items shall be held by Debtor in trust for the Secured Party, segregated from
other funds of Debtor in a separate deposit account containing only Proceeds and shall forthwith
upon receipt by Debtor, be turned over to the Secured Party, in the same form received by Debtor
(appropriately indorsed or assigned by Debtor to the order of the Secured Party or in such other
manner as shall be satisfactory to the Secured Party); and

          (b) any and all such Proceeds received by the Secured Party (whether from Debtor or
otherwise), shall be applied by the Secured Party as provided in Section 7.10 hereof.

     7.5 Debtor’s Accounts. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
Secured Party may liquidate any securities held in any accounts of Debtor and apply the proceeds
thereof and any other amounts held in any accounts of Debtor as provided in Section 7.10 hereof.

     7.6 Possession of Collateral. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
(a) the Secured Party may, personally or by agents or attorneys, immediately retake possession of
the Collateral (including the originals of all or any Accounts and Account Records) or any part
thereof, from Debtor or any other Person which then has possession of any part thereof with or
without notice or judicial process, and for that purpose may enter upon Debtor’s premises where any
of the Collateral is located and remove the same and may make reasonable use in connection

- 10 -

 

with such removal of any and all services, supplies, aids, and other facilities of Debtor, and (b)
upon three days’ notice to Debtor, Debtor shall, at its own expense, assemble the Collateral,
including, without limitation, the originals of all Account Records (or from time to time any
portion thereof) and make it available to the Secured Party by delivery to the Secured Party at any
location designated by the Secured Party which is reasonably convenient to both parties, whether at
the premises of Debtor or the Secured Party or elsewhere. Debtor shall, at its sole expense, store
and keep any Collateral so assembled at such place or places pending further action by the Secured
Party and while the Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such guards and maintenance
services as shall be reasonably necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain the
Collateral in good condition. Debtor’s obligation to so assemble and deliver the Collateral is of
the essence of this Agreement and, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having
jurisdiction, the Secured Party shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by the
Debtor of such obligation.

     7.7 Disposition of the Collateral. If an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, the Secured Party may sell, assign, lease, give an option or options to purchase, or
otherwise dispose of the Collateral (or contract to do any of the foregoing) under one or more
contracts or as an entirety, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, without the necessity
of gathering at the place of sale the property to be sold, at public or private sale or sales,
conducted by any officer, nominee or agent of, or auctioneer or attorney for the Secured Party at
any location of any third party conducting or otherwise involved in such sale or any office of the
Secured Party or elsewhere and in general in such manner, at such time or times and upon such
terms and conditions and at such price as may be commercially reasonable, for cash or on credit or
for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Any of the Collateral may be sold,
leased, assigned, or options or contracts entered to do so, or otherwise disposed of, in the
condition in which the same existed when taken by the Secured Party or after any overhaul or
repair which may be commercially reasonable. Any such disposition which shall be a private sale or
other private proceeding shall be made upon not less than ten days’ written notice to Debtor
specifying the time after which such disposition is to be made and the intended sale price or
other consideration therefor. Any such disposition which shall be a public sale shall be made upon
not less than ten days’ written notice to Debtor (which Debtor agrees to be commercially
reasonable) specifying the time and place of such sale and, in the absence of applicable
requirements of law to the contrary, shall be by public auction (which may, at the option or the
Secured Party, be subject to reserve), after publication of commercially reasonable notice of such
auction. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Secured Party may bid for and become the
purchaser of the Collateral or any item thereof, offered for sale in accordance with this Section
without accountability to Debtor (except to the extent of surplus money received) as provided
below. In the payment of the purchase price of the Collateral, the purchaser shall be entitled to
have credit on account of the purchase price thereof of amounts owing to such purchaser on account
of any of the Secured Obligations and any such purchaser may deliver notes, claims for interest,
or claims for other payment with respect to such Secured Obligations in lieu of cash up to the
amount which would, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon. Such
notes, if the amount payable hereunder shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be
returned to the holder thereof after being appropriately stamped to show partial payment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Collateral or any portion thereof is

- 11 -

 

perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold in a
recognized market only such notice as shall be reasonably practicable shall be required.

     7.8 Recourse. Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any
sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to satisfy the Secured Obligations.
Debtor shall also be liable for all reasonable expenses of the Secured Party incurred in connection
with collecting such deficiency, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

     7.9 Expenses; Attorneys’ Fees. Debtor shall reimburse the Secured Party for all its
reasonable expenses in connection with the exercise of its rights and remedies hereunder,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by the
Secured Party.

     7.10 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any disposition of Collateral shall be
applied as follows:

          (a) first, to payment or reimbursement of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees,
expenses and indemnities payable to the Agent in its capacity as such;

          (b) second, pro rata to payment or reimbursement of that portion of the Obligations
constituting fees, expenses and indemnities payable to the Lenders;

          (c) third, pro rata to payment of accrued interest on the Loans;

          (d) fourth, pro rata to payment of principal outstanding on the Loans and Obligations owed to
any Lender or affiliate of any Lender under any Commodity Hedge Agreement or Rate Management
Transaction;

          (e) fifth, pro rata to any other Obligations;

          (f) sixth, to serve as cash collateral to be held by the Agent to secure the LC Exposure; and

          (g) seventh, any excess, after all of the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly
paid in full in cash, shall be paid to the Borrower or as otherwise required by any Governmental
Authority.

          (h)

     7.11 Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Collateral. The Secured Party’s
sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping, and physical preservation of the Collateral in
its possession, under Section 9.207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same
manner as the Secured Party deals with similar property for its own account. The Secured Party
shall have no obligation to take any steps to preserve rights against prior parties to any
Collateral. Except for matters constituting willful misconduct and/or gross negligence, neither
the Secured Party nor any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be liable for
failure to demand, collect, or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in
doing so or

- 12 -

 

shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of
the Debtor or otherwise.

     7.12 Waiver of Claims. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Debtor
hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, notice of and judicial hearing in
connection with the Secured Party’s taking possession or the Secured Party’s disposition of any of
the Collateral in accordance herewith, including, without limitation, any and all prior notice and
hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies and any such right which the Debtor would otherwise
have under the constitution or any statute of the United States or any state, and Debtor hereby
further waives, to the extent permitted by law:

          (a) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession except any damages which are the
direct result of the willful misconduct and/or gross negligence of the Secured Party;

          (b) all other requirements as to the time, place, and terms of sale or other requirements with
respect to the enforcement of the rights of the Secured Party hereunder;

          (c) demand of performance or other demand, notice of intent to demand or accelerate, notice of
acceleration, presentment, protest, advertisement, or notice of any kind to or upon Debtor or any
other Person, except as may be required by the Credit Agreement; and

          (d) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, diligence, stay, extension,
or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law in order to stay or delay the
enforcement of this Agreement, including the absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion
thereof, and Debtor, for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or
hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws.

     7.13 Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Secured Party shall have instituted
any proceeding to enforce any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, sale,
entry, or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason,
then and in every such case, Debtor and the Secured Party shall be returned to their former
positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral subject to the security interest
created under this Agreement, and all rights, remedies, and powers of the Secured Party shall
continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

ARTICLE VIII

     8.1
INDEMNITY. (a)  DEBTOR AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, REIMBURSE, AND HOLD THE INDEMNITEES
HARMLESS FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, CLAIMS, ACTIONS,
JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DISBURSEMENTS (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND
EXPENSES) (FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION ALL OF THE FOREGOING ARE COLLECTIVELY CALLED
“EXPENSES”) OF WHATSOEVER KIND OR NATURE WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED

- 13 -

 

ON, ASSERTED AGAINST, OR INCURRED BY ANY OF SUCH INDEMNITEES IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR
ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR IN ANY OTHER WAY
CONNECTED WITH THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF
ANY OF THE TERMS OF OR THE PRESERVATION OF ANY RIGHTS HEREUNDER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
THOSE ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE, WHETHER SOLE OR CONCURRENT, OF ANY INDEMNITEE; PROVIDED THAT NO
SUCH INDEMNITEE SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION FOR EXPENSES TO THE EXTENT ARISING
FROM THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AND/OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNITEE.

          (b) Debtor agrees that upon written notice by any such Indemnitee of any assertion that could
give rise to an Expense, Debtor shall assume full responsibility for the defense thereof. Without
limiting the application of part (a) of this Section, Debtor agrees to pay or reimburse such
Indemnitee on demand for any and all reasonable fees, costs, and expenses of whatever kind or
nature incurred in connection with the creation, preservation, or protection of the Secured Party’s
Liens on, and security interests in, the Collateral, including, without limitation, all reasonable
fees and taxes in connection with the recording or filing of instruments and documents in public
offices, payment, or discharge of any taxes or Liens or security interests upon or in respect of
the Collateral, premiums for insurance with respect to the Collateral, all reasonable expenses
incurred in the custody, preservation, use, or operation of the Collateral when Collateral is in
the Secured Party’s possession, and all other reasonable fees, costs, and expenses in connection

actions, suits, or proceedings arising out of or relating to the Collateral.

          (c) Without limiting the application of parts (a) or (b) of this Section, Debtor agrees to
pay, indemnify, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any Expenses which such
Indemnitee may suffer, expend, or incur in consequence of or growing out of any misrepresentation
by any Debtor in this Agreement or in any statement or writing contemplated by or made or delivered
pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement.

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

     8.2 Indemnity Obligations Secured by Collateral: Survival. Any amounts paid by any
Indemnitee as to which such Indemnitee has the right to reimbursement shall constitute Secured
Obligations secured by the Collateral. The indemnity obligations of the Debtor contained in this
Article VIII shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the full payment and
performance of the Secured Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

- 14 -

 

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

     9.1
No Waiver, Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the
Secured Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder and no course of dealing
between any Debtor and the Secured Party shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. A waiver by the Secured Party of
any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or
remedy which the Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and
remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and as
often and in such order as the Secured Party deems expedient, and are not exclusive of any rights
or remedies which the Secured Party would otherwise have whether by agreement or now or hereafter
existing under applicable law. No notice to or demand on Debtor in any case shall entitle Debtor
to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver
of the rights of the Secured Party to any other or further action in any circumstances without
notice or demand.

     9.2
Termination, Release. When the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and
performed in full and the Commitment has terminated, this Agreement shall terminate, and the
Secured Party, at the request and sole expense of Debtor, will execute and deliver to Debtor the
proper instruments (including Uniform Commercial Code termination statements)
acknowledging the termination of this Agreement, and will duly assign, transfer, and deliver to
Debtor, without recourse, representation, or warranty of any kind whatsoever, such of the
Collateral as may be in possession of the Secured Party and has not theretofore been disposed of,
applied, or released.

     9.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and
by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and
delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same
instrument.

     9.4 Marshalling. The Secured Party shall not be under any obligation to marshall any
assets in favor of Debtor or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured
Obligations.

     9.5
Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the
Secured Obligations shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity,
