3.             SCIL
Agent’s and SCIL Lenders’ Rights: Limitations on SCIL Agent’s and SCIL Lenders’
Obligations.

 

a.             It is expressly
agreed by Grantors that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each
Grantor shall remain liable under each of its Contracts and each of its Licenses
to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and
performed by it thereunder. Neither SCIL Agent nor any SCIL Lender shall have
any obligation or liability under any Contract or License by reason of or
arising out of this Security Agreement or the granting herein of a Lien thereon
or the receipt by SCIL Agent or any SCIL Lender of any payment relating to any
Contract or License pursuant hereto. Neither SCIL Agent nor any SCIL Lender
shall be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the
obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Contract or License, or to
make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of
any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party
under any Contract or License, or to present or file any claims, or to take any
action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts
which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time
or times.

 

b.             SCIL Agent may at any
time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing without prior notice
to any Grantor, notify Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on the
Collateral that SCIL Agent has a security interest therein, and that payments shall
be made directly to SCIL Agent. Furthermore, if SCIL Agent determines that
Account Debtors’ contra-accounts or set-off rights may cause an Event of
Default or Borrowing Availability to be less than zero, SCIL Agent may notify
Account Debtors that SCIL Agent has a security interest therein, and that
payments shall be made directly to SCIL Agent. In such circumstances and upon
the request of SCIL Agent, each Grantor shall so notify Account Debtors and
other Persons obligated on Collateral. Once any such notice has been given to
any Account Debtor or other Person obligated on the Collateral, the affected
Grantor shall not give any contrary instructions to such Account Debtor or
other Person without SCIL Agent’s prior written consent.

 

c.             SCIL Agent may at any
time in SCIL Agent’s own name, in the name of a nominee of SCIL Agent or in the
name of any Grantor communicate (by mail, telephone, facsimile or otherwise)
with Account Debtors, parties to Contracts and obligors in respect of Instruments
to verify with such Persons, to SCIL Agent’s satisfaction, the existence,
amount terms of, and any other matter relating to, Accounts, Instruments,
Chattel Paper and/or payment intangibles. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, each Grantor, at its own expense, shall cause the
independent certified public accountants then engaged by such Grantor to
prepare and deliver to SCIL Agent and each SCIL Lender at any time and from
time to time promptly upon SCIL Agent’s reasonable request the following
reports with respect to each Grantor: (i) a reconciliation of all
Accounts; (ii) an aging of all Accounts; (iii) trial balances; and (iv) a
test verification of such Accounts as SCIL Agent may reasonably request. Each
Grantor, at its own expense, shall deliver to SCIL Agent the results of each
physical verification, if any, which such Grantor may in its discretion have
made, or caused any other Person to have made on its behalf, of all or any
portion of its Inventory.

 

4.             Representations
and Warranties.  Each Grantor
represents and warrants that:

 

a.             Each Grantor has
rights in and the power to transfer each item of the Collateral upon which it
purports to grant a Lien hereunder free and clear of any and all Liens other
than Permitted Encumbrances.

 

3

 

b.             No effective security
agreement, financing statement, equivalent security or Lien instrument or
continuation statement covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file or
of record in any public office, except such as may have been filed (i) by
any Grantor in favor of SCIL Agent pursuant to this Security Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, and (ii) in connection with any other Permitted
Encumbrances.

 

c.             This Security
Agreement is effective to create a valid and continuing Lien on and, upon the
filing of the appropriate financing statements listed on Schedule I
hereto, a perfected Lien in favor of SCIL Agent, for itself and the benefit of
SCIL Lenders, on the Collateral with respect to which a Lien may be perfected
by filing pursuant to the Code. Such Lien is prior to all other Liens, except
Permitted Encumbrances and is enforceable as such as against any and all
creditors of Grantor (other than beneficiaries of the Permitted Encumbrances).

 

d.             Schedule II-A
hereto lists all Instruments, Letter of Credit Rights and Chattel Paper of each
Grantor. All action by any Grantor necessary or desirable to protect and perfect
the Lien of SCIL Agent on each item set forth on Schedule II-B
(including the delivery of all originals thereof to Senior Agent (or, after the
occurrence of the “Termination Date” under and as defined in the Senior Credit
Agreement, to SCIL Agent) and the legending of all Chattel Paper as required by
Section 5(b) hereof) has been duly taken. The Lien of SCIL
Agent, for the benefit of SCIL Agent and SCIL Lenders, on the Collateral listed
on Schedule II-B hereto is prior to all other Liens, except
Permitted Encumbrances, and is enforceable as such against any and all
creditors of Grantor (other than beneficiaries of the Permitted Encumbrances).

 

e.             Each Grantor’s name
as it appears in official filings in the state of its incorporation or other
organization, the type of entity of each Grantor (including corporation, partnership,
limited partnership or limited liability company), organizational
identification number issued by each Grantor’s state of incorporation or
organization or a statement that no such number has been issued, each Grantor’s
state of organization or incorporation, the location of each Grantor’s chief
executive office, principal place of business, offices, all warehouses and premises
where Collateral is stored or located, and the locations of its books and
records concerning the Collateral are set forth on Schedule III-A, Schedule III-B,
Schedule III-C, Schedule III-D, Schedule III-E,
Schedule III-F,  Schedule III-G, Schedule III-H,
or Schedule III-I, respectively, hereto. Each Grantor has only one
state of incorporation or organization.

 

f.              With respect to the
Accounts, except as specifically disclosed (x) in the most recent Collateral
Report delivered to SCIL Agent, or (y) in writing to SCIL Agent, (i) they represent
bona fide sales of Inventory or rendering of services to Account Debtors in the
ordinary course of each Grantor’s business and are not evidenced by a judgment,
Instrument or Chattel Paper; (ii) there are no setoffs, claims or disputes
existing or asserted with respect thereto and no Grantor has made any agreement
with any Account Debtor for any extension of time for the payment thereof, any
compromise or settlement for less than the full amount thereof, any release of
any Account Debtor from liability therefor, or any deduction therefrom except a
discount or allowance allowed by such Grantor in the ordinary course of its
business for prompt payment and disclosed to SCIL Agent; (iii) to each
Grantor’s knowledge, there are no facts, events or occurrences which in any way
impair the validity or enforceability thereof or could reasonably be expected
to reduce the amount payable thereunder as shown on any Grantor’s

 

4

 

books and records and any
invoices, statements and Collateral Reports delivered to SCIL Agent and SCIL
Lenders with respect thereto; (iv) no Grantor has received any notice of
proceedings or actions which are threatened or pending against any Account

financial condition; and (v) no Grantor has knowledge that any Account
Debtor is unable generally to pay its debts as they become due. Further with
respect to the Accounts (x) the amounts shown on all invoices, statements and
Collateral Reports which may be delivered to SCIL Agent with respect thereto
are actually and absolutely owing to such Grantor as indicated thereon and are
not in any way contingent; (y) no payments have been or shall be made thereon
except payments immediately delivered to the applicable Blocked Accounts or
SCIL Agent as required pursuant to the terms of Annex C to the Credit
Agreement; and (z) to each Grantor’s knowledge, all Account Debtors have the
capacity to contract.

 

g.             With respect to any
Inventory scheduled or listed on the most recent Collateral Report delivered to
SCIL Agent, (i) such Inventory is located at one of the applicable Grantor’s
locations set forth on Schedule III-A, Schedule III-B, Schedule III-C,
Schedule III-D, Schedule III-E, Schedule III-F,
Schedule III-G, or Schedule III-H hereto, as
applicable, (ii) no such Inventory is now, or shall at any time or times
hereafter be stored at any other location without except (A) locations
added in connection with a Permitted Acquisition, or (B) otherwise with
SCIL Agent’s prior consent, and if SCIL Agent gives such consent, each
applicable Grantor will concurrently therewith obtain, to the extent required
by the Credit Agreement, bailee, landlord and mortgagee agreements in form
reasonably acceptable to SCIL Agent, (iii) the applicable Grantor has
good, indefeasible and merchantable title to such Inventory and such Inventory
is not subject to any Lien or security interest or document whatsoever except

Lenders, and except for Permitted Encumbrances, (iv) except as

Agent, such Inventory is Eligible Inventory of good and merchantable quality,
free from any material defects, (v) such Inventory is not subject to any

or disposition of that Inventory or the payment of any monies to any third
party upon such sale or other disposition, and (vi) the completion of
manufacture, sale or other disposition of such Inventory by SCIL Agent
following an Event of Default shall not require the consent of any Person and
shall not constitute a breach or default under any contract or agreement to
which any Grantor is a party or to which such Inventory is subject.

 

h.             No Grantor has any
interest in, or title to, any Patent, Trademark or Copyright except as set
forth in Schedule IV-A, Schedule IV-B, or Schedule IV-C
hereto. This Security Agreement is effective to create a valid and continuing
Lien on and, upon timely filing of the Copyright Security Agreements with the
United States Copyright Office and timely filing of the Patent Security
Agreements and the Trademark Security Agreements with the United State Patent
and Trademark Office, perfected Liens in favor of SCIL Agent on each Grantor’s
Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights and such perfected Liens are enforceable as
such as against any and all creditors of any Grantor.

 

5.             Covenants.
 Each Grantor covenants and agrees with
SCIL Agent, for the benefit of SCIL Agent and SCIL Lenders, that from and after

Trademark or Copyright Collateral is not material to the conduct of its
business or as otherwise consented by SCIL Agent, shall enter into a supplement
to this Security Agreement granting to SCIL Agent a Lien on a commercial tort
claim (as defined in the Code) related thereto. Such Grantor shall, unless such
Grantor shall reasonably determine that such Patent, Trademark or Copyright
Collateral is not material to the conduct of its business, promptly sue for
infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages
for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and shall take such other

 In any suit, proceeding or action
brought by SCIL Agent or any SCIL Lender relating to any Collateral for any sum
owing with respect thereto or to enforce any rights or claims with respect
thereto, each Grantor will save, indemnify and keep SCIL Agent and SCIL Lenders
harmless from and against all expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses), loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the Account Debtor or other Person

obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or
liability at any time owing to, or in favor of, such obligor or its successors
from such Grantor, except in the case of SCIL Agent or any SCIL Lender, to the
extent such expense, loss, or damage is attributable solely to the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of SCIL Agent or such SCIL Lender as finally determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction. All such obligations of Grantors shall be
and remain enforceable against and only against Grantors and shall not be
enforceable against SCIL Agent or any SCIL Lender.

 

e.             Limitation on

under the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever
(other than the beneficiaries of the Permitted Encumbrances.

 

f.              Notices.  Each Grantor will advise SCIL Agent promptly,

8

 

h.             No Reincorporation.
 Without limiting the prohibitions on
mergers involving the Grantors contained in the Credit Agreement, no Grantor
shall reincorporate or reorganize itself under the laws of any jurisdiction
other than the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or organized as of the
date hereof without the prior written consent of SCIL Agent.

 

i.              Terminations;
Amendments Not Authorized.  Each
Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement
or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement
evidencing a Lien granted hereunder without the prior written consent of SCIL
Agent and agrees that it will not do so without the prior written consent of
SCIL Agent, subject to such Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of
the Code.

 

j.              Authorized
Terminations.  SCIL Agent will
promptly deliver to each Grantor for filing or authorize each Grantor to
prepare and file termination statements and releases in accordance with Section 11.2(e) of
the Credit Agreement.

 

6.             SCIL Agent’s
Appointment as Attorney-In-Fact.

 

On the Closing
Date each Grantor shall execute and deliver to SCIL Agent a power of attorney
(the “Power of Attorney”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
The power of attorney granted pursuant to the Power of Attorney is a power
coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Termination Date.
The powers conferred on SCIL Agent, for the benefit of SCIL Agent and SCIL
Lenders, under the Power of Attorney are solely to protect SCIL Agent’s
interests (for the benefit of SCIL Agent and SCIL Lenders) in the Collateral
and shall not impose any duty upon SCIL Agent or any SCIL Lender to exercise
any such powers. SCIL Agent agrees that (a) except for the powers granted
in clause (h) of the Power of Attorney, it shall not exercise any power or
authority granted under the Power of Attorney unless an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, and (b) SCIL Agent shall account for any
moneys received by SCIL Agent in respect of any foreclosure on or disposition
of Collateral pursuant to the Power of Attorney provided that none of SCIL
Agent or any SCIL Lender shall have any duty as to any Collateral, and SCIL
Agent and SCIL Lenders shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually
receive as a result of the exercise of such powers. NONE OF SCIL AGENT, SCIL
LENDERS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS
OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO ANY GRANTOR FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE
TO ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES
ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS
FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, NOR FOR ANY PUNITIVE,
EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

 

7.             Remedies; Rights
Upon Default.

 

a.             In addition to all
other rights and remedies granted to it under this Security Agreement, the
Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and under any other instrument or agreement
securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Obligations, if any Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, SCIL Agent may exercise all
rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Grantor

 

9

 

expressly agrees that in
any such event SCIL Agent, without demand of performance or other demand,
advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time
and place of public or private sale) to or upon such Grantor or any other
Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby
expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code and other
applicable law), may forthwith enter upon the premises of such Grantor where
any Collateral is located through self-help, without judicial process, without
first obtaining a final judgment or giving such Grantor or any other Person
notice and opportunity for a hearing on SCIL Agent’s claim or action and may
collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the
Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, license,
assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of
and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one
or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such
prices as it may deem acceptable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery
without assumption of any credit risk. SCIL Agent or any SCIL Lender shall have
the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by
law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of SCIL
Agent and SCIL Lenders, the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free
of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption each Grantor
hereby releases. Such sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time
with or without notice. SCIL Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on
any Grantor’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any Grantor’s
premises without charge for such time or times as SCIL Agent deems necessary or
advisable.

 

If any Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor further agrees, at
SCIL Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to SCIL
Agent at a place or places designated by SCIL Agent which are reasonably
convenient to SCIL Agent and such Grantor, whether at such Grantor’s premises
or elsewhere. Until SCIL Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other
disposition of Collateral, SCIL Agent shall have the right to hold or use
Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for
the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose
deemed appropriate by SCIL Agent. SCIL Agent shall have no obligation to any
Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of such Grantor as against third
parties with respect to Collateral while Collateral is in the possession of
SCIL Agent. SCIL Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver
or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of SCIL Agent’s
remedies (for the benefit of SCIL Agent and SCIL Lenders), with respect to such
appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. SCIL Agent
shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt,
appropriation, realization or sale to the Obligations as provided in the Credit
Agreement, and only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the
payment by SCIL Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law,
need SCIL Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages,
and demands against SCIL Agent or any SCIL Lender arising out of the
repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise solely
out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of SCIL Agent or such SCIL
Lender as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Grantor
agrees that ten (10) days prior notice by SCIL Agent of the time and place
of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is
reasonable notification of such matters. Grantors shall remain liable for any
deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are
insufficient to pay all Obligations, including any attorneys’ fees and other
expenses incurred by SCIL Agent or any SCIL Lender to collect such deficiency.

 

10

 

b.             Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand,
protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of
any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.

 

c.             To the extent that
applicable law imposes duties on SCIL Agent to exercise remedies in a
commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is
not commercially unreasonable for SCIL Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses
reasonably deemed significant by SCIL Agent to prepare Collateral for
disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into
finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to
obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to
obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or
third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be
collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies
against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove
Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise
collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on
Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other
collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral
through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the
Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons,
whether or not in the same business as the Grantor, for expressions of interest
in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or
more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral,
whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to
dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (ix) to disclaim
disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (x) to
purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure SCIL Agent against risks of
loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to SCIL Agent a
guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xi) to
the extent deemed appropriate by SCIL Agent, to obtain the services of other
brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist SCIL
Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor
acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 7(c) is to provide
non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by SCIL Agent would not
be commercially unreasonable in SCIL Agent’s exercise of remedies against the
Collateral and that other actions or omissions by SCIL Agent shall not be deemed
commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 7(c).
Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 7(c) shall
be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on SCIL
Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or
by applicable law in the absence of this Section 7(c).

 

d.             Neither SCIL Agent
nor the SCIL Lenders shall be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or
exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other
obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of
the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with
respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof.
Neither SCIL Agent nor the SCIL Lenders shall be required to marshal the
Collateral or any guarantee of the Obligations or to resort to the Collateral
or any such guarantee in any particular order, and all of its and their rights
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be cumulative. To the extent
it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and
relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against
SCIL Agent or any SCIL Lender, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension,
redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may

 

11

 

have as a surety now or
hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the
sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court,
or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or
otherwise.

 

8.             Grant of License
to Use Intellectual Property Collateral.  For the purpose of enabling SCIL Agent to
exercise rights and remedies under Section 7 hereof (including,
without limiting the terms of Section 7 hereof, in order to take
possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for
sale, sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral) at such time and for so long as
SCIL Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each
Grantor hereby grants to SCIL Agent, for the benefit of SCIL Agent and SCIL
Lenders, a nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or
other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any
intellectual property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and
wherever the same may be located, and including in such license 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.

 

9.             Limitation on SCIL
Agent’s and SCIL Lenders’ Duty in Respect of Collateral.  SCIL Agent and each SCIL Lender shall use
reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its
control. Neither SCIL Agent nor any SCIL Lender shall have any other duty as to
any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of
any SCIL Agent or nominee of SCIL Agent or such SCIL Lender, or any income
thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other
rights pertaining thereto.

 

10.           Reinstatement.  This Security Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by
or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor
become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any Creditor or
Creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any
significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or
be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of
the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded
or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee
of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,”
or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In
the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced,
restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced
only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 

11.           Notices.  Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever
it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval,
declaration or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any
of the parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties desires to
give and serve upon any other party any communication with respect to this
Security Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval,
declaration or other communication shall be in writing and shall be given in
the manner, and deemed received, as provided for in the Credit Agreement.

 

12.           Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this
Security Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and
valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Security Agreement
shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision

 

12

 

shall be ineffective to
the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder
of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Security Agreement. This
Security Agreement is to be read, construed and applied together with the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents which, taken together, set forth
the complete understanding and agreement of SCIL Agent, SCIL Lenders and
Grantors with respect to the matters referred to herein and therein.

 

13.           No Waiver;
Cumulative Remedies.  Neither SCIL
Agent nor any SCIL Lender shall by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be
deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver
shall be valid unless in writing, signed by SCIL Agent and then only to the
extent therein set forth. A waiver by SCIL Agent of any right or remedy hereunder
on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy
which SCIL Agent would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No failure to
exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of SCIL Agent or any SCIL
Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are
cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive
of any rights and remedies provided by law. None of the terms or provisions of
this security agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by
an instrument in writing, duly executed by SCIL Agent and Grantors.

 

14.           Limitation by Law.
 All rights, remedies and powers provided
in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the
exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the
provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all
applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be
limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Security
Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be
recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

 

15.           Termination of this
Security Agreement.  Subject to Section 10
hereof, this Security Agreement shall terminate upon the Termination Date.

 

16.           Successors and
Assigns.  This Security Agreement and
all Obligations of Grantors hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and
assigns of each Grantor (including any debtor-in-possession on behalf of such
Grantor) and shall, together with the rights and remedies of SCIL Agent, for
the benefit of SCIL Agent and SCIL Lenders, hereunder, inure to the benefit of
SCIL Agent and SCIL Lenders, all future holders of any instrument evidencing
any of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns. No sales of
participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of
any agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Obligations or any portion
thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to SCIL
Agent, for the benefit of SCIL Agent and SCIL Lenders, hereunder. No Grantor may
assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any interest in or Obligation
under this Security Agreement.

 

17.           Counterparts.  This Security Agreement may be authenticated
in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and
separately constitute one agreement.

 

13

 

This Security Agreement
may be authenticated by manual signature, facsimile or, if approved in writing
by SCIL Agent, electronic means, all of which shall be equally valid.

 

18.           GOVERNING LAW.  EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY
OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION,
VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING
HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN
THAT STATE, AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. EACH
GRANTOR HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN
NEW YORK COUNTY, CITY OF NEW YORK, NEW YORK, SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION
TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN GRANTORS, SCIL AGENT AND SCIL
LENDERS PERTAINING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY
OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, PROVIDED. THAT SCIL AGENT, SCIL LENDERS AND
GRANTORS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE
HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK COUNTY, AND, PROVIDED, FURTHER,
NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE SCIL AGENT
FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO
REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO
ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF SCIL AGENT. EACH GRANTOR
EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR
SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH
IT MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM
NON  CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL
OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY
WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN
ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINTS AND
OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO
SUCH GRANTOR AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH ON ANNEX I TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT
AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF ACTUAL
RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE (3) DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE U.S. MAILS, PROPER
POSTAGE PREPAID.

 

19.           Waiver of Jury Trial.
 Because disputes arising in connection
with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved
by an experienced and expert person and the parties wish applicable state and
federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that
disputes arising hereunder or relating hereto be resolved by a judge applying
such applicable laws. Therefore, to achieve the best combination of the
benefits of the judicial system and of arbitration, the parties hereto waive
all right to trial by jury in any action, suit or proceeding brought to resolve
any dispute, whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise, among SCIL
Agent, SCIL Lenders, and Grantors arising out of, connected with,

 

14

 

related to, or incidental
to the relationship established in connection with, this Security Agreement or
any of the other loan documents or the transactions related hereto or thereto.

 

20.           Section Titles.
 The Section titles contained in
this Security Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content
of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the Agreement between the parties
hereto.

 

21.           No Strict
Construction.  The parties hereto
have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Security
Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation
arises, this Security Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the
parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or
disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this
Security Agreement.

 

22.           Advice of Counsel.
 Each of the parties represents to each
other party hereto that it has discussed this Security Agreement and,
specifically, the provisions of Section 18 and Section 19,
with its counsel.

 

23.           Benefit of SCIL
Lenders.  All Liens granted or
contemplated hereby shall be for the benefit of SCIL Agent, individually, and
SCIL Lenders, and all proceeds or payments realized from Collateral in
accordance herewith shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with the
terms of the Credit Agreement.

 

24.           Subordination.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the security interest in favor of SCIL Agent granted hereunder and
the rights of SCIL Agent in respect thereof shall be subordinate in all
respects to the Senior Lien to the extent provided in the Intercreditor
Agreement.

 

25.           Performance by
Grantors.  Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, no Grantor shall be required to comply with any
covenant or perform any act under this Agreement to the extent that compliance
with such covenant or performance of such act would conflict with the terms of
any agreement of such Grantor in favor of Senior Agent until such time as the “Termination
Date” under and as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement has occurred.

PLEDGE
AGREEMENT

 

This PLEDGE AGREEMENT, dated as of June 29, 2004 (together with
all amendments, if any, from time to time hereto, this “Agreement”)
between ROLLER BEARING COMPANY OF AMERICA, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Pledgor”),
and GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION, in its capacity as SCIL Agent for
SCIL Lenders (“SCIL Agent”).

 

W I T N
E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain SCIL Credit Agreement dated as of the
date hereof by and among Pledgor, the Persons named therein as Credit Parties,
SCIL Agent and the Persons signatory thereto from time to time as SCIL Lenders
(including all annexes, exhibits and schedules thereto, and as from time to
time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified (the “Credit
Agreement”), the SCIL Lenders have agreed to make a second collateralized
institutional loan to Borrower (the “SCIL”);

 

WHEREAS, Pledgor is the record and beneficial owner of the shares of
Stock listed in Part A of Schedule I hereto and the owner of
the promissory notes and instruments listed in Part B of Schedule I
hereto;

 

WHEREAS, Pledgor benefits from the credit facilities made available to
Borrower under the Credit Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, in order to induce SCIL Agent and SCIL Lenders to make the
SCIL as provided for in the Credit Agreement, Pledgor has agreed to pledge the
Pledged Collateral to SCIL Agent in accordance herewith;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants
hereinafter contained and to induce SCIL Lenders to make the SCIL under the
Credit Agreement, it is agreed as follows:

represents and warrants to SCIL Agent that:

 

2

 

a.                                       Pledgor is, and at the time of delivery of
the Pledged Shares to Senior Agent will be, the sole holder of record and the
sole beneficial owner of such Stock free and clear of any Lien thereon or
affecting the title thereto, except for any Lien created by the Loan Documents
and the prior Lien of Senior Agent on such Stock (such prior Lien, the “Senior
Lien”); Pledgor is and at the time of delivery of the Pledged Indebtedness
to Senior Agent will be, the sole owner of such Pledged Indebtedness free and
clear of any Lien thereon or affecting title thereto, except for any Lien created
by the Loan Documents and the Senior Lien;

 

b.                                      All of the Pledged Shares have been duly
authorized, validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable; the Pledge
Indebtedness has been duly authorized, authenticated or issued and delivered
by, and is the legal, valid and binding obligations of, the Pledged Entity
issuing such Pledged Indebtedness, and no such Pledged Entity is in default
thereunder.

 

c.                                       Pledgor has the power and requisite authority
to pledge, assign, transfer, deliver, deposit and set over the Pledged as
provided herein.

 

d.                                      All of the Pledged Shares are presently owned
by Pledgor, and are presently represented by the certificates listed on Part A
of Schedule I hereto. As of the date hereof, there are no existing
options, warrants, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to
the Pledged Shares;

 

e.                                       No consent, approval, authorization or other
order or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental
Authority or any other Person is required (i) for the pledge by Pledgor of
the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or for the execution,
delivery or performance of this Agreement by Pledgor, or (ii) for the
exercise by SCIL Agent of (A) the voting or other rights provided for in
this Agreement or (B) the remedies in respect of the Pledged Collateral
pursuant to this Agreement, except as may be required by the Code or laws
affecting the offering and sale of securities generally;

 

f.                                         The pledge, assignment and delivery of the
Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement will create a valid Lien on and a
perfected security interest in favor of the SCIL Agent for its benefit and the
ratable benefit of SCIL Lenders in the Pledged Collateral in accordance with Section 2,
securing the payment of the Secured Obligations, subject to no other Lien;

 

g.                                      This Agreement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by Pledgor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding
obligation of Pledgor enforceable against Pledgor in accordance with its terms;

 

h.                                      The Pledged Shares constitute 100% of the
issued and outstanding shares of Stock of the Pledgor’s Domestic Subsidiaries
and 66% of the Stock of RBC Schaublin Holding S.A. and RBC Mexico S. DE R.L. DE
C.V.

 

i.                                          Except as disclosed on Part B of Schedule I,
none of the Pledged Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to other
Indebtedness (except for the Secured Obligations) or subject to the terms of an
indenture.

 

3

 

The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 5
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

 

6.                                       Covenants. Pledgor covenants and agrees that until the Termination Date:

 

a.                                       Without the prior written consent of SCIL
Agent, Pledgor will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or otherwise encumber
any of its rights in or to the Pledged Collateral, or any unpaid dividends,
interest or other distributions or payments with respect to the Pledged
Collateral or grant a Lien in the Pledged Collateral, unless otherwise
expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement;

 

b.                                      Pledgor will, at its expense, promptly
execute, acknowledge and deliver all such instruments and take all such actions
as SCIL Agent from time to time may reasonably request in order to ensure to
SCIL Agent and SCIL Lenders the benefits of the Liens in and to the Pledged
Collateral intended to be created by this Agreement, including the filing of
any necessary Code financing statements, which may be filed by SCIL Agent with
or (to the extent permitted by law) without the signature of Pledgor, and will
cooperate with SCIL Agent, at Pledgor’s expense, in obtaining all necessary
approvals and making all necessary filings under federal, state, local or
foreign law in connection with such Liens or any sale or transfer of the Pledged
Collateral in accordance with Section 8;

 

c.                                       Pledgor has and will defend the title to the
Pledged Collateral and the Liens of SCIL Agent in the Pledged Collateral
against the claim of any Person and will maintain and preserve such Liens; and

 

d.                                      Pledgor will, upon obtaining ownership of any
additional Stock or promissory notes or instruments of a Pledged Entity or
Stock or promissory notes or instruments otherwise required to be pledged to
SCIL Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, which Stock, notes or
instruments are not already Pledged Collateral, promptly (and in any event
within three (3) Business Days) deliver to SCIL Agent a Pledge Amendment,
duly executed by Pledgor, in substantially the form of Schedule II
hereto (a “Pledge Amendment”) in respect of any such additional Stock,
notes or instruments, pursuant to which Pledgor shall pledge to SCIL Agent all
of such additional Stock, notes and instruments. Pledgor hereby authorizes SCIL
Agent to attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement and agrees that all
Pledged Shares and Pledged Indebtedness listed on any Pledge Amendment
delivered to Senior Agent (or, after the Senior Lien Termination Date, to SCIL
Agent) shall for all purposes hereunder be considered Pledged Collateral.

 

7.                                       Pledgor’s Rights.  As
long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
and until written notice shall be given to Pledgor in accordance with Section 8(a) hereof:

 

a.                                       Pledgor shall have the right, from time to
time, to vote and give consents with respect to the Pledged Collateral, or any
part thereof; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, and
no consent shall be given or action taken, which would have the effect of
impairing the position or interest of SCIL Agent in respect of the Pledged
Collateral or which would

 

4

 

authorize,
effect or consent to (unless and to the extent expressly permitted by the
Credit Agreement):

 

(i)                                     the dissolution or liquidation, in whole or
in part, of a Pledged Entity;

 

(ii)                                  the consolidation or merger of a Pledged
Entity with any other Person;

 

(iii)                               the sale, disposition or encumbrance of all
or substantially all of the assets of a Pledged Entity, except for Liens in
favor of SCIL Agent and Senior Agent;

 

(iv)                              the issuance of any additional shares of its
Stock to any Person other than Pledgor (and if to Pledgor, only so long as such
additional shares are upon issuance promptly pledged to SCIL Agent); or

 

(v)                                 the alteration of the voting rights with
respect to the Stock of a Pledged Entity; and

 

b.                                      (i)          Pledgor
shall be entitled, from time to time, to collect and receive for its own use
all cash dividends and interest paid in respect of the Pledged Shares and
Pledged Indebtedness to the extent not in violation of the Credit Agreement other
than any and all: (A) dividends and other distributions paid or
payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Shares in connection with a partial
or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital,
capital surplus or paid-in capital of a Pledged Entity; and (B) cash paid,
payable or otherwise distributed, in respect of principal of, or in redemption
of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral; provided, however,
that until actually paid all rights to such distributions shall remain subject
to the Lien created by this Agreement; and

 

(ii)                                  All dividends and other payments (other than
such cash dividends and interest as are permitted to be paid to Pledgor in
accordance with clause (i) above) and all other distributions in
respect of any of the Pledged Shares or Pledged Indebtedness, whenever paid or
made, shall be delivered to Senior Agent (or, after the Senior Lien Termination
Date, to SCIL Agent) to hold as Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by
Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of Senior Agent and SCIL Agent,
be segregated from the other property or funds of Pledgor, and be forthwith
delivered to SCIL Agent as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received
(with any necessary indorsement).

 

8.                                       Defaults and Remedies; Proxy.

 

a.                                       Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
and during the continuation of such Event of Default, and concurrently with
written notice to Pledgor, SCIL Agent (personally or through an SCIL Agent) is
hereby authorized and empowered to transfer and register in its name or in the
name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to
exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged
Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations,
to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto,
to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other
distributions made thereon, to sell in one or more sales after ten (10) days’
notice of the time and

 

5

 

place
of any public sale or of the time at which a private sale is to take place
(which notice Pledgor agrees is commercially reasonable) the whole or any part
of the Pledged Collateral and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged
Collateral as though SCIL Agent was the outright owner thereof. Any sale shall
be made at public or private sale at SCIL Agent’s place of business, or at any
place to be named in the notice of sale, either for cash or upon credit or for
future delivery at such price as SCIL Agent may deem fair, and SCIL Agent may
be the purchaser of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral so sold and
hold the same thereafter in its own right free from any claim of Pledgor or any
right of redemption. Each sale shall be made to the highest bidder, but SCIL
Agent reserves the right to reject any and all bids at such sale which, in its
discretion, it shall deem inadequate. Demands of performance, except as
otherwise herein specifically provided for, notices of sale, advertisements and
the presence of property at sale are hereby waived and any sale hereunder may
be conducted by an auctioneer or any officer or agent of SCIL Agent. PLEDGOR
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS SCIL AGENT AS THE PROXY AND
ATTORNEY-IN-FACT OF PLEDGOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL, INCLUDING
THE RIGHT TO VOTE THE PLEDGED SHARES, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO.
THE APPOINTMENT OF SCIL AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IS COUPLED WITH AN
INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE TERMINATION DATE. IN ADDITION TO
THE RIGHT TO VOTE THE PLEDGED SHARES, THE APPOINTMENT OF SCIL AGENT AS PROXY
AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS,
POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF THE PLEDGED SHARES WOULD
BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS,
CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS). SUCH
PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION
(INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY PLEDGED SHARES ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER
THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF THE PLEDGED SHARES OR ANY
OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF), UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, SCIL AGENT SHALL NOT HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXERCISE
ANY SUCH RIGHT OR TO PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE
TO DO SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING SO.

 

b.                                      If, at the original time or times appointed
for the sale of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, the highest
bid, if there be but one sale, shall be inadequate to discharge in full all the
Secured Obligations, or if the Pledged Collateral be offered for sale in lots,
if at any of such sales, the highest bid for the lot offered for sale would
indicate to SCIL Agent, in its discretion, that the proceeds of the sales of
the whole of the Pledged Collateral would be unlikely to be sufficient to
discharge all the Secured Obligations, SCIL Agent may, on one or more occasions
and in its discretion, postpone any of said sales by public announcement at the
time of sale or the time of previous postponement of sale, and no other notice
of such postponement or postponements of sale need be given, any other notice
being hereby waived; provided, however, that any sale or sales
made after such postponement shall be after ten (10) days’ notice to
Pledgor.

 

6

 

c.                                       If, at any time when SCIL Agent shall
determine to exercise its right to sell the whole or any part of the Pledged
Collateral hereunder, such Pledged Collateral or the part thereof to be sold
shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or any similar statute then in effect) (the
“Act”), SCIL Agent may, in its discretion (subject only to applicable
requirements of law), sell such Pledged Collateral or part thereof by private
sale in such manner and under such circumstances as SCIL Agent may deem
necessary or advisable, but subject to the other requirements of this Section 8,
and shall not be required to effect such registration or to cause the same to
be effected. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such
event, SCIL Agent in its discretion (x) may, in accordance with applicable
securities laws, proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a
registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral
or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under said Act (or similar
statute), (y) may approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to
effect such sale, and (z) may restrict such sale to a purchaser who is an
accredited investor under the Act and who will represent and agree that such
purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment and not with a view
to the distribution or sale of such Pledged Collateral or any part thereof. In
addition to a private sale as provided above in this Section 8, if any
of the Pledged Collateral shall not be freely distributable to the public
without registration under the Act (or similar statute) at the time of any
proposed sale pursuant to this Section 8, then SCIL Agent shall not
be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but,
in its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), may require
that any sale hereunder (including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to
restrictions:

 

(i)                                     as to the financial sophistication and
ability of any Person permitted to bid or purchase at any such sale;

 

(ii)                                  as to the content of legends to be placed
upon any certificates representing the Pledged Collateral sold in such sale,
including restrictions on future transfer thereof;

 

(iii)                               as to the representations required to be made
by each Person bidding or purchasing at such sale relating to that Person’s
access to financial information about Pledgor and such Person’s intentions as
to the holding of the Pledged Collateral so sold for investment for its own
account and not with a view to the distribution thereof; and

 

(iv)                              as to such other matters as SCIL Agent may,
in its discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in order that such sale
(notwithstanding any failure so to register) may be effected in compliance with
the Bankruptcy Code and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights and the Act and all applicable state securities laws.

 

d.                                      Pledgor recognizes that SCIL Agent may be
unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be
compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with clause
(c) above. Pledgor also acknowledges that any such private sale may
result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale
were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any
such private sale shall not

 

7

 

Be
deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue
of such sale being private. SCIL Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a
sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to
permit the Pledged Entity to register such securities for public sale under the
Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Pledgor and the Pledged
Entity would agree to do so.

 

e.                                       Pledgor agrees to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law that following the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default it will not at any time plead, claim or take
the benefit of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or
redemption law now or hereafter in force in order to prevent or delay the
enforcement of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of the whole or any part of
the Pledged Collateral or the possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale
hereunder, and Pledgor waives the benefit of all such laws to the extent it
lawfully may do so. Pledgor agrees that it will not interfere with any right,
power and remedy of SCIL Agent provided for in this Agreement or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the
exercise or beginning of the exercise by SCIL Agent of any one or more of such
rights, powers or remedies. No failure or delay on the part of SCIL Agent to
exercise any such right, power or remedy and no notice or demand which may be
given to or made upon Pledgor by SCIL Agent with respect to any such remedies
shall operate as a waiver thereof, or limit or impair SCIL Agent’s right to
take any action or to exercise any power or remedy hereunder, without notice or
demand, or prejudice its rights as against Pledgor in any respect.

 

f.                                         Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any
of the covenants contained in this Section 8 will cause irreparable
injury to SCIL Agent, that SCIL Agent shall have no adequate remedy at law in
respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every
covenant contained in this Section 8 shall be specifically
enforceable against Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert
any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants
except for a defense that the Secured Obligations are not then due and payable
in accordance with the agreements and instruments governing and evidencing such
obligations.

 

9.                                       Waiver.  No delay on SCIL Agent’s part
in exercising any power of sale, Lien, option or other right hereunder, and no
notice or demand which may be given to or made upon Pledgor by SCIL Agent with
respect to any power of sale, Lien, option or other right hereunder, shall
constitute a waiver thereof, or limit or impair SCIL Agent’s right to take any
action or to exercise any power of sale, Lien, option, or any other right
hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice SCIL Agent’s rights as
against Pledgor in any respect.

 

10.                                 Assignment.  SCIL Agent may assign, indorse
or transfer any instrument evidencing all or any part of the Secured
Obligations as provided in, and in accordance with, the Credit Agreement, and
the holder of such instrument shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Agreement.

 

11.                                 Termination.  Immediately following the
Termination Date, SCIL Agent shall deliver to Pledgor the Pledged Collateral
pledged by Pledgor in the possession of SCIL Agent at the time subject to this
Agreement and all instruments of assignment executed in connection therewith,
free and clear of the Liens hereof and, except as otherwise provided herein or
therein,

 

8

 

all
of Pledgor’s Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall at
such time terminate.

 

12.                                 Lien Absolute.  All
rights of SCIL Agent hereunder, and all Obligations of Pledgor hereunder, shall
be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

 

a.                                       any lack of validity or enforceability of the
Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument
governing or evidencing any Secured Obligations;

 

b.                                      any change in the time, manner or place of
payment of, or in any other term of, all or any part of the Secured
Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any
departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other
agreement or instrument governing or evidencing any Secured Obligations;

 

c.                                       any exchange, release or non-perfection of
any other Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to
departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;

 

d.                                      the insolvency of any Credit Party; or

 

e.                                       any other circumstance which might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Pledgor.

 

13.                                 Release.  Pledgor consents and agrees
that SCIL Agent may at any time, or from time to time, in its discretion:

 

a.                                       renew, extend or change the time of payment,
and/or the manner, place or terms of payment of all or any part of the Secured
Obligations; and

 

b.                                      exchange, release and/or surrender all or any
of the Collateral (including the Pledged Collateral), or any part thereof, by
whomsoever deposited, which is now or may hereafter be held by SCIL Agent in
connection with all or any of the Secured Obligations; all in such manner and
upon such terms as SCIL Agent may deem proper, and without notice to or further
assent from Pledgor, it being hereby agreed that Pledgor shall be and remain
bound upon this Agreement, irrespective of the value or condition of any of the
Collateral, and notwithstanding any such change, exchange, settlement,
compromise, surrender, release, renewal or extension, and notwithstanding also
that the Secured Obligations may, at any time, exceed the aggregate principal
amount thereof set forth in the Credit Agreement, or any other agreement
governing any Secured Obligations. Pledgor hereby waives notice of acceptance
of this Agreement, and also presentment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor
of any and all of the Secured Obligations, and promptness in commencing suit
against any party hereto or liable hereon, and in giving any notice to or of
making any claim or demand hereunder upon Pledgor. No act or omission of any
kind on SCIL Agent’s part shall in any event affect or impair this Agreement.

 

14.                                 Reinstatement.  This
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective
should any petition be filed by or against Pledgor or any Pledged Entity for

 

9

 

liquidation
or reorganization, should Pledgor or any Pledged Entity become insolvent or
make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee
be appointed for all or any significant part of Pledgor’s or a Pledged Entity’s
assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may
be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any
part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount,
or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured
Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent conveyance”, or
otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the
event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or
returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only
by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

 

15.                                 Miscellaneous.

 

a.                                       SCIL Agent may execute any of its duties
hereunder by or through agents or employees and shall be entitled to advice of
counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its duties hereunder.

 

b.                                      Pledgor agrees to promptly reimburse SCIL
Agent for actual out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation,
reasonable counsel fees, incurred by SCIL Agent in connection with the
administration and enforcement of this Agreement.

 

c.                                       Neither SCIL Agent, nor any of its respective
officers, directors, employees,
agents or counsel shall be liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to
be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith, except for its or
their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction.

 

d.                                      THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BINDING UPON PLEDGOR
AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS (INCLUDING A DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION ON BEHALF OF
PLEDGOR), AND SHALL INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF, AND BE ENFORCEABLE BY, SCIL AGENT
AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND
ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO
CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN THAT STATE, AND NONE OF THE TERMS OR PROVISIONS
OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE WAIVED, ALTERED, MODIFIED OR AMENDED EXCEPT IN
WRITING DULY SIGNED FOR AND ON BEHALF OF SCIL AGENT AND PLEDGOR.

 

16.                                 Severability.  If
for any reason any provision or provisions hereof are determined to be invalid
and contrary to any existing or future law, such invalidity shall not impair the
operation of or effect those portions of this Agreement which are valid.

 

17.                                 Notices.  Except as otherwise provided
herein, whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request,
