ARTICLE II

Guarantee

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

 

6

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

          SECTION 2.03. No Limitations. (a) Except for termination of a Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder as expressly provided in Section 7.13, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall
not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including
any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any
defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or
otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to
assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan
Document or otherwise; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release
from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any other agreement, including with
respect to any other Guarantor under this Agreement; (iii) the release of any security held by the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the Obligations or any of them; (iv) any
default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations; or (v) any
other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any
Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other
than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations). Each Guarantor expressly
authorizes the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties to take and hold security for the
payment of the Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without
consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale
thereof in their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or
obligors upon or in respect of the Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of any
Guarantor hereunder.

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

 

7

permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such
election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish
any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the
applicable Borrower or any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security.

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

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

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

ARTICLE III

Pledge of Securities

          SECTION 3.01. Pledge. As security for the payment, as the case may be, in full of the
Obligations, each Grantor hereby assigns and pledges to the Administrative Agent, its successors
and assigns, for the benefit of the other Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the Administrative
Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the other Secured Parties, a security
interest in, all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under (a) all Equity
Interests owned by it and listed on Schedule II and any other Equity Interests obtained in the
future by such Grantor and, as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the certificates
or other instruments representing all such Equity Interests (the “Pledged Stock”),
provided that the Pledged Stock shall not include

 

8

more than 66.5% of the issued and outstanding voting Equity Interests of any Foreign
Subsidiary to the extent that the pledge of any greater percentage would result in adverse tax
consequences; (b)(i) all Indebtedness of Parent, any Borrower or any other Subsidiary that is
evidenced by a promissory note, owing to any Loan Party and constitutes Collateral and listed
opposite the name of such Grantor on Schedule II, (ii) any debt securities in the future issued to
such Grantor and (iii) the promissory notes and any other instruments evidencing such debt
securities (the “Pledged Debt Securities”); (c) all other property that may be delivered to
and held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.01; (d) subject to
Section 3.06, all payments of principal or interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other
property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, in exchange
for or upon the conversion of, and all other Proceeds received in respect of, the securities
referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above; (e) subject to Section 3.06, all rights and privileges of
such Grantor with respect to the securities and other property referred to in clauses (a), (b), (c)
and (d) above; and (f) all Proceeds of any of the foregoing (the items referred to in clauses (a)
through (f) above being collectively referred to as the “Pledged Collateral”),
provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement
shall not constitute a pledge or grant of a security interest in any Pledged Collateral if and for
so long as the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the US Borrower, reasonably determines
that the cost to any Borrower of creating or perfecting a pledge or security interest in such
Pledged Collateral (taking into account any adverse tax consequences to Parent, the Borrowers and
the other Subsidiaries (including the imposition of withholding or other material taxes on
Lenders)) shall be commercially unreasonable in view of the benefits to be obtained by the Lenders
therefrom.

          TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Pledged Collateral, together with all right, title, interest, powers,
privileges and preferences pertaining or incidental thereto, unto the Administrative Agent, its
successors and assigns, for the benefit of the other Secured Parties, forever; subject, however, to
the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth.

          SECTION 3.02. Delivery of the Pledged Collateral. (a) Each Grantor agrees promptly to
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the other Secured
Parties, any and all Pledged Securities.

          (b) Upon delivery to the Administrative Agent, (i) any Pledged Securities shall be accompanied
by stock powers duly endorsed in blank by the applicable Grantor or other instruments of transfer
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and by such other instruments and documents as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (ii) all other property comprising part of the
Pledged Collateral shall be accompanied by proper instruments of assignment duly executed by the
applicable Grantor and such other instruments or documents as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably request. Each delivery of Pledged Securities shall be accompanied by a schedule
describing the securities, which schedule shall be attached hereto as Schedule II and made a part
hereof, provided that failure to attach any such schedule hereto shall not affect the
validity of such pledge of such Pledged Securities. Each schedule so delivered shall supplement
any prior schedules so delivered.

     (c) except for the security interests granted hereunder, such Grantor (i) is and,

interest thereto or therein against any and all Liens (other than Liens created by this
Agreement and Permitted Encumbrances), however, arising, of all Persons whomsoever;

     (d) except for restrictions and limitations imposed by the Loan Documents or
securities laws generally, all of such Grantor’s Pledged Collateral is and will continue to
be freely transferable and assignable, and none of such Pledged Collateral is or will be
subject to any option, right of first refusal, shareholders agreement, charter or by-law
provisions or contractual restriction of any nature that might prohibit, impair, delay or
otherwise affect the pledge of such Pledged Collateral hereunder, the sale or disposition
thereof pursuant hereto or the exercise by the Administrative Agent of rights and remedies
hereunder;

     (e) each Grantor has the corporate or equivalent power and authority to pledge all of
such Grantor’s Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder in the manner hereby done or
contemplated;

     (f) no consent or approval of any Governmental Authority, any securities exchange or
any other Person to be obtained by any Loan Party pursuant to any

 

10

applicable law, rule or regulation applicable to it was or is necessary to the
validity of such Grantor’s pledge effected hereby (other than such as have been obtained
and are in full force and effect);

     (g) by virtue of the execution and delivery by such Grantor of this Agreement, when
any of such Grantor’s Pledged Securities are delivered to the Administrative Agent in
accordance with this Agreement, the Administrative Agent will obtain a legal, valid and
perfected first-priority lien upon and security interest in such Pledged Securities as
security for the payment of the Obligations;

     (h) such Grantor’s pledge effected hereby is effective to vest in the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the other Secured Parties, the rights of the Administrative Agent
in all of such Grantor’s Pledged Collateral as set forth herein; and

principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under any
Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit or B/A is outstanding and so long
as the Commitments have not expired or terminated, such Grantor shall not elect to treat any
interest in any limited liability company or limited partnership pledged hereunder as a “security”
within the meaning of Article 8 of the New York UCC or issue any certificate representing such
interest, unless such Grantor provides prior written notification to the Administrative Agent of
such election and immediately delivers any such certificate to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
the terms hereof.

          SECTION 3.05. Registration in Nominee Name; Denominations. The Administrative Agent, on
behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the right (in its sole and absolute discretion) to hold
the Pledged Securities in its own name as pledgee, the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as
sub-agent) or the name of the applicable Grantor, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of the
Administrative Agent. Each Grantor will promptly give to the Administrative Agent copies of any
notices or other communications received by it with respect to Pledged Securities registered in the
name of such Grantor. The Administrative Agent shall at all times have the right to exchange the
certificates representing Pledged Securities for certificates of smaller or larger denominations
for any purpose consistent with this Agreement.

          SECTION 3.06. Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest. (a) Unless and until an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative

 

11

Agent shall have notified the US Borrower that the rights of the Grantors under this Section
3.06 are being suspended:

     (i) Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other
consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Securities or any part thereof
for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, provided that such rights and powers shall not be exercised
in any manner that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the
rights inuring to a holder of any Pledged Securities or the rights and remedies of any of
the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties under this Agreement or the Credit
Agreement or any other Loan Document or the ability of the Secured Parties to exercise the
same.

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

     (iii) Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends,
interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the
Pledged Securities to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends, interest,
principal and other distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid or distributed in
accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents
and applicable laws, provided that any noncash dividends, interest, principal or
other distributions that would constitute Pledged Stock or Pledged Debt Securities, whether
resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Equity
Interests of the issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged
Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger,
consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party
or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by any
Grantor, shall not be commingled by such Grantor with any of its other funds or property
but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of
the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and shall be forthwith delivered to
the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement
reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent).

          (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the
Administrative Agent shall have notified the US Borrower of the suspension of the rights of the
Grantors under paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 3.06, then all rights of any Grantor to exercise
the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph
(a)(i) of this Section 3.06, and the obligations of the Administrative Agent under paragraph
(a)(ii) of this Section 3.06, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the other Secured Parties, which shall have the sole and
exclusive right and authority

 

12

to exercise such voting and/or consensual rights and powers, provided that, unless
otherwise directed by the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall have the right from time
to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to
exercise such rights. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived and the US Borrower
has delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate to that effect, each Grantor shall have the
exclusive right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that such Grantor would
otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) above and the
obligations of the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 3.06 shall be
reinstated.

          (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the
Administrative Agent shall have notified the US Borrower of the suspension of the rights of the
Grantors under paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 3.06, then all rights of any Grantor to
dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor is authorized to receive
pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 3.06 shall cease, and all such rights shall
thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the other Secured Parties,
which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends,
interest, principal or other distributions. All dividends, interest, principal or other
distributions received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of this Section 3.06 shall be held
in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, shall be
segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith delivered to the
Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably
requested by the Administrative Agent). Any and all money and other property paid over to or
received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be
retained by the Administrative Agent in an account to be established by the Administrative Agent
upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions
of Section 5.02. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived and the US Borrower has
delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate to that effect, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly repay to each Grantor (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other
distributions that such Grantor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of
paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 3.06 and that remain in such account.

          (d) Any notice given by the Administrative Agent to the US Borrower suspending the rights of
the Grantors under paragraph (a) of this Section 3.06 (i) may be given by telephone if promptly
confirmed in writing, (ii) may be given with respect to one or more of the Grantors at the same or
different times and (iii) may suspend the rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a)(i) or
paragraph (a)(iii) in part without suspending all such rights (as specified by the Administrative
Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) and without waiving or otherwise affecting the
Administrative Agent’s rights to give additional notices from time to time suspending other rights
so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

ARTICLE IV

Security Interests in Personal Property

          SECTION 4.01. Security Interest. (a) As security for the payment in full of the Obligations,
each Grantor hereby assigns and pledges to the Administrative Agent, its successors and assigns,
for the benefit of the other Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, its
successors and assigns, for the benefit of the other Secured Parties, a security interest (the
“Security Interest”) in, all right, title or interest in or to any and all of the following
assets and properties now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by such Grantor or in which such
Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest
(collectively, the “Article 9 Collateral”):

     (i) all Accounts;

     (ii)
all Chattel Paper;

     (iii) all Deposit Accounts;

     (iv) all Documents;

     (v) all Equipment;

     (vi) all General Intangibles;

     (vii) all Instruments;

     (viii) all Inventory;

     (ix) all Investment Property;

     (x) letter of credit rights;

     (xi) commercial tort claims listed on Schedule V;

     (xii) all books and records pertaining to the Article 9 Collateral; and

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

provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement
shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in (A) any Excluded Assets or (B) any asset if
and for so long as the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the US Borrower, reasonably
determines that the cost to any Borrower of creating or perfecting a pledge or security interest in
such asset (taking into account any adverse tax consequences to Parent, the Borrowers and the other
Subsidiaries (including the

 

14

imposition of withholding or other material taxes on Lenders)) shall be commercially unreasonable
in view of the benefits to be obtained by the Lenders therefrom.

          (b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from
time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements (including
fixture filings) with respect to the Article 9 Collateral or any part thereof and amendments
thereto that (i) indicate the Collateral as all assets of such Grantor or words of similar effect
as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail and (ii) contain the information
required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing
of any financing statement or amendment, including (a) whether such Grantor is an organization, the
type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Grantor and (b) in
the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing, a sufficient description of the real
property to which such Article 9 Collateral relates. Each Grantor agrees to provide such
information to the Administrative Agent promptly upon request.

          Each Grantor also ratifies its authorization for the Administrative Agent to file in any
relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the
date hereof.

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

          (c) The Security Interest is granted as security only and shall not subject the Administrative
Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of
any Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Article 9 Collateral.

          (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the security interest
granted hereunder attach to any contract, agreement or instrument to which a Grantor is a party or
any of its rights or interests thereunder if and for so long as the grant of such security interest
shall constitute or result in (i) the unenforceability of any right of the Grantor therein or (ii)
in a breach or termination pursuant to the terms of, or a default under, any such contract,
agreement or instrument (other than to the extent that any such term would be rendered ineffective
pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the New York UCC or any other applicable law
or principles of equity), provided, however, that such security interest shall attach
immediately at such time as the condition causing such unenforceability shall be remedied and, to
the extent severable, shall attach immediately to any portion of such contract or agreement that
does not result in any of the consequences specified in clause (i) or (ii) above including any
proceeds of such contract or agreement.

 

15

          SECTION 4.02. Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor represents and warrants to the
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that with respect to such Grantor:

          (a) Such Grantor has good and valid rights in and title to such Grantor’s Article 9 Collateral
with respect to which it has purported to grant a Security Interest hereunder and has full
corporate or equivalent power and authority to grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit
of the other Secured Parties, the Security Interest in such Article 9 Collateral pursuant hereto
and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
without the consent or approval of any other Person other than any consent or approval that has
been obtained and in full force and effect.

          (b) The Perfection Certificate has been duly prepared, completed and executed and the
information set forth therein, including the exact legal name of such Grantor, is correct and
complete as of the Effective Date. The Uniform Commercial Code financing statements (including
fixture filings, as applicable) or other appropriate filings, recordings or registrations prepared
by the Administrative Agent based upon the information provided to the Administrative Agent by such
Grantor in the Perfection Certificate for filing in each governmental, municipal or other office
specified in Schedule 2 to the Perfection Certificate (or specified by notice from the US Borrower
to the Administrative Agent after the Effective Date in the case of filings, recordings or
registrations required by Section 5.03(a) or 5.12 of the Credit Agreement), are all the filings,
recordings and registrations (other than filings required to be made in the United States Patent
and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office in order to perfect the Security
Interest in all of such Grantor’s Article 9 Collateral consisting of United States Patents,
Trademarks and Copyrights) that are necessary to publish notice of and protect the validity of and
to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent,
for the benefit of the other Secured Parties, in respect of all of such Grantor’s Article 9
Collateral in which the Security Interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in
the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions, and
no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration
is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable law with respect to the
filing of continuation statements. Each Grantor represents and warrants that a fully executed
agreement in the form hereof and containing a description of all of such Grantor’s Article 9
Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property with respect to United States Patents and United
States registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which United States registration applications are
pending) and United States registered Copyrights have been delivered to the Administrative Agent
for recording by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright
Office pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261, 15 U.S.C. § 1060 or 17 U.S.C. § 205 and the regulations
thereunder, as applicable, and otherwise as may be required pursuant to the laws of any other
necessary jurisdiction, to protect the validity of and to establish a legal, valid and perfected
security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the other Secured
Parties, in respect of all of such Grantor’s Article 9 Collateral consisting of Patents, Trademarks
and Copyrights in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or

 

16

registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories
and possessions, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording,
registration or reregistration is necessary (other than such actions as are necessary to perfect
the Security Interest with respect to any of such Grantor’s Article 9 Collateral consisting of
Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights (or registration or application for registration thereof)
acquired or developed after the Effective Date)).

          (c) The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all of such
Grantor’s Article 9 Collateral securing the payment of the Obligations, (ii) subject to the filings
described in Section 4.02(b), a perfected security interest in all of such Grantor’s Article 9
Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registering a
financing statement or analogous document in the United States (or any political subdivision
thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code or other
applicable law in such jurisdictions and (iii) a security interest that shall be perfected in all
of such Grantor’s Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected upon the
receipt and recording of this Agreement with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the
United States Copyright Office, as applicable, within the three-month period (commencing as of the
date hereof) pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261 or 15 U.S.C. § 1060 or the one month period (commencing as
of the date hereof) pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 205 and otherwise as may be required pursuant to the
laws of any other necessary jurisdiction. The Security Interest is and shall be prior to any other
Lien on any of such Grantor’s Article 9 Collateral, other than Permitted Encumbrances that have
priority as a matter of law and Liens expressly permitted to be prior to the Security Interest
pursuant to Section 6.02(a) of the Credit Agreement.

          (d) All of such Grantor’s Article 9 Collateral is owned by such Grantor free and clear of any
Lien, except for Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 6.02(a) of the Credit Agreement.
Such Grantor has not filed or consented to the filing of (i) any financing statement or analogous
document under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable laws covering any of such
Grantor’s Article 9 Collateral, (ii) any assignment in which any such Grantor assigns any
Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any of such Grantor’s Article 9
Collateral with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office
or (iii) any assignment in which any such Grantor assigns any of such Grantor’s Article 9
Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any of such Grantor’s Article 9
Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other office, which financing statement or
analogous document, assignment, security agreement or similar instrument is still in effect,
except, in each case, for Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 6.02(a) of the Credit
Agreement.

          SECTION 4.03. Covenants. (a) Each Grantor agrees promptly to notify the Administrative
Agent in writing of any change (i) in its corporate name or in any trade name used to identify it
in the conduct of its business or in the ownership of its properties, (ii) in the location of its
chief executive office, its principal place of business, any office in which it maintains books or
records relating to Article 9 Collateral owned by it or any office or facility at which Article 9
Collateral owned by it is located

 

17

(including the establishment of any such new office or facility), (iii) in its identity or
type of organization or corporate structure, (iv) to the extent applicable, in its Federal Taxpayer
Identification Number or organizational identification number or (v) in its jurisdiction of
organization. Each Grantor agrees to promptly provide the Administrative Agent with certified
organizational documents reflecting any of the changes described in the first sentence of this
paragraph. Each Grantor agrees not to effect or permit any change referred to in the preceding
sentence unless all filings have been made under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise that are
required in order for the Administrative Agent to continue at all times following such change to
have a valid, legal and perfected first priority security interest in all of such Grantor’s Article
9 Collateral. Each Grantor agrees promptly to notify the Administrative Agent if any material
portion of the Article 9 Collateral owned or held by such Grantor is damaged or destroyed.

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

          (c) Each year, at the time of delivery of annual financial statements with respect to the
preceding fiscal year pursuant to Section 5.01(a) of the Credit Agreement, Parent shall deliver to
the Administrative Agent a certificate executed by a Financial Officer and the general counsel of
Parent (i) setting forth the information required pursuant to Section 2 of the Perfection
Certificate or confirming that there has been no change in such information since the date of the
Perfection Certificate delivered on the Effective Date or the date of the most recent certificate
delivered pursuant to this Section 4.03(c) and (ii) certifying that, to the best knowledge of such
Financial Officer and general counsel, all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements (including
fixture filings, as applicable) or other appropriate filings, recordings or registrations,
including all refilings, rerecordings and reregistrations, containing a description of the Article
9 Collateral have been filed of record in each governmental, municipal or other appropriate office
in each jurisdiction identified pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 4.03 to the extent necessary
to protect and perfect the Security Interest for a period of not less than 18 months after the date
of such certificate (except as noted therein with respect to any continuation statements to be
filed within such period). Each certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 4.03(c) shall
identify in the format of Schedule III all Intellectual Property of any Grantor in existence on the
date thereof and not then listed on such Schedules or previously so identified to the
Administrative Agent.

          (d) Each Grantor shall, at its own expense, take any and all actions necessary to defend
title to the Article 9 Collateral owned by it against all Persons and to defend the Security
Interest of the Administrative Agent in the Article 9 Collateral owned

 

18

by it and the priority thereof against any Lien not expressly permitted pursuant to Section
6.02 of the Credit Agreement.

          (e) Each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be
duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the
Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect
and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment
of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements (including fixture
filings) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith. If any amount payable under or in
connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral owned by it shall be or become evidenced by any
promissory note or other instrument, such note or instrument shall be immediately pledged and
delivered to the Administrative Agent, duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent.

          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent, with prompt notice thereof to the Grantors, to supplement this Agreement by
supplementing Schedule III or adding additional schedules hereto to specifically identify any asset
or item that may constitute Copyrights, Licenses, Patents or Trademarks, provided that any
Grantor shall have the right, exercisable within 10 days after it has been notified by the
Administrative Agent of the specific identification of such Collateral, to advise the
Administrative Agent in writing of any inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by
such Grantor hereunder with respect to such Collateral. Each Grantor agrees that it will use its
commercially reasonable efforts to take such action as shall be necessary in order that all
representations and warranties hereunder shall be true and correct in all material respects with
respect to such Collateral within 30 days after the date it has been notified by the Administrative
Agent of the specific identification of such Collateral.

          (f) The Administrative Agent and such Persons as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
designate shall have the right, at the Grantors’ own cost and expense, to inspect the Article 9
Collateral, all records related thereto (and to make extracts and copies from such records) and the
premises upon which any of the Article 9 Collateral is located, to discuss the Grantors’ affairs
with the officers of the Grantors and their independent accountants and to verify under reasonable
procedures, the validity, amount, quality, quantity, value, condition and status of, or any other
matter relating to, the Article 9 Collateral, including, in the case of Accounts or Article 9
Collateral in the possession of any third person, by contacting Account Debtors or the third person
possessing such Article 9 Collateral for the purpose of making such a verification. The
Administrative Agent shall have the absolute right to share any information it gains from such
inspection or verification with any Secured Party.

          (g) At its option, the Administrative Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments,
charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the
Article 9 Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement, and may
pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9

 

19

Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement or
this Agreement, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent
on demand for any payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to the foregoing authorization, provided that nothing in this paragraph shall be
interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises
of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or
other encumbrances or maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.

          (h) If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Account
Debtor or any other Person to secure payment and performance of an Account, such Grantor shall
promptly assign such security interest to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the other
Secured Parties. Such assignment need not be filed of public record unless necessary to continue
the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Account
Debtor or other Person granting the security interest.

          (i) Each Grantor (rather than the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party) shall remain
liable to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it
under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Article 9 Collateral, all in
accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties from and against
any and all liability for such performance.

          (j) None of the Grantors shall make or permit to be made an assignment, pledge or
hypothecation of the Article 9 Collateral or shall grant any other Lien in respect of the Article 9
Collateral, except as permitted by the Credit Agreement. None of the Grantors shall make or permit
to be made any transfer of the Article 9 Collateral and each Grantor shall remain at all times in
possession of the Article 9 Collateral owned by it, except that unless and until the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Grantors that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and
that during the continuance thereof the Grantors shall not sell, convey, lease, assign, transfer or
otherwise dispose of any Article 9 Collateral (which notice may be given by telephone if promptly
confirmed in writing), the Grantors may use and dispose of the Article 9 Collateral in any lawful
manner not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other
Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that it shall
not permit any Inventory to be in the possession or control of any warehouseman, agent, bailee, or
processor at any time unless such warehouseman, bailee, agent or processor shall have been notified
of the Security Interest and shall have acknowledged in writing, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that such warehouseman, agent, bailee or processor holds
the Inventory for the benefit of the Administrative Agent subject to the Security Interest and
shall act upon the instructions of the Administrative Agent without further consent from the
Grantor, and that such warehouseman, agent, bailee or processor further agrees to

 

20

waive and release any Lien held by it with respect to such Inventory, whether arising by
operation of law or otherwise.

          (k) None of the Grantors will, without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent,
grant any extension of the time of payment of any Accounts included in the Article 9 Collateral,
compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or
partly, any Person liable for the payment thereof or allow any credit or discount whatsoever
thereon, other than extensions, compromises, settlements, releases, credits or discounts granted or
made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with its current practices and in accordance
with such prudent and standard practice used in industries that are the same as or similar to those
in which such Grantor is engaged.

          (l) The Grantors, at their own expense, shall maintain or cause to be maintained insurance
covering physical loss or damage to the Inventory and Equipment in accordance with the requirements
set forth in Schedule IV hereto and Section 5.07 of the Credit Agreement. Each Grantor irrevocably
makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (and all officers, employees or agents
designated by the Administrative Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and
attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, during the continuance of an Event of Default, of making,
settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance,
endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the
proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect
thereto. In the event that any Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any
of the policies of insurance required hereby or to pay any premium in whole or part relating
thereto, the Administrative Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of
the Grantors hereunder or any Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such
policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the
Administrative Agent reasonably deems advisable. All reasonable out-of-pocket sums disbursed by
the Administrative Agent in connection with this paragraph, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
court costs, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and other reasonable charges relating thereto, shall
be payable, upon demand, by the Grantors to the Administrative Agent and shall be additional
Obligations secured hereby.

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

          SECTION 4.04. Other Actions. In order to further insure the attachment, perfection and
priority of, and the ability of the Administrative Agent to enforce, the Security Interest, each
Grantor agrees, in each case at such Grantor’s own expense, to take the following actions with
respect to the following Article 9 Collateral:

     (a) Instruments. If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any Instruments,
such Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the other Secured Parties,

 

21

accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly endorsed in blank by
such Grantor as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

     (b) Deposit Accounts. For each deposit account that any Grantor at any time opens or
maintains, such Grantor shall, either (i) cause the depositary bank to agree to comply with
instructions from the Administrative Agent to such depositary bank directing the
disposition of funds from time to time credited to such deposit account, without further
consent of such Grantor or any other Person, pursuant to an agreement satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, or (ii) arrange for the Administrative Agent to become the customer
of the depositary bank with respect to the deposit account, with the Grantor being
permitted, only with the consent of the Administrative Agent, to exercise rights to
withdraw funds from such deposit account. The Administrative Agent agrees with each
Grantor that the Administrative Agent shall not give any such instructions or withhold any
withdrawal rights from any Grantor unless an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, or, after giving effect to any such withdrawal rights, would occur. The
provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to (A) any deposit account for which any
Grantor, the depositary bank and the Administrative Agent have entered into a cash
collateral agreement specially negotiated among such Grantor, the depositary bank and the
Administrative Agent for the specific purpose set forth therein and (B) deposit accounts
for which the Administrative Agent is the depositary.

     (c) Investment Property. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Article III, if
any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities, such Grantor
shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the other Secured Parties, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or
assignment duly endorsed in blank by such Grantor as the Administrative Agent may from time
to time specify. If any securities now or hereafter acquired by any Grantor are
uncertificated and are issued to such Grantor or its nominee directly by the issuer
thereof, such Grantor shall immediately notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, at the
Administrative Agent’s request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, either (i) cause the issuer to agree
to comply with instructions from the Administrative Agent as to such securities, without
further consent of any Grantor or such nominee, or (ii) arrange for the Administrative
Agent to become the registered owner of the securities. If any securities, whether
certificated or uncertificated, or other investment property now or hereafter acquired by
any Grantor are held by such Grantor or its nominee through a securities intermediary or
commodity intermediary, such Grantor shall immediately notify the Administrative Agent
thereof and, at the Administrative Agent’s request and option, pursuant to an agreement in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, either (i) cause
such securities intermediary or (as the case may be) commodity intermediary to agree to
comply with entitlement orders or other instructions from the Administrative Agent to such
securities intermediary as to

 

22

such security entitlements, or (as the case may be) to apply any value distributed on
account of any commodity contract as directed by the Administrative Agent to such commodity
intermediary, in each case without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee, or (ii)
in the case of financial assets or other Investment Property held through a securities
intermediary, arrange for the Administrative Agent to become the entitlement holder with
respect to such investment property, with the Grantor being permitted, only with the
consent of the Administrative Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw or otherwise deal with
such investment property. The Administrative Agent agrees with each Grantor that the
Administrative Agent shall not give any such entitlement orders or instructions or
directions to any such issuer, securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, and shall
not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by any
Grantor, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or, after giving effect
to any such investment and withdrawal rights, would occur. The provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply to any financial assets credited to a securities account for
which the Administrative Agent is the securities intermediary.

     (d) Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. If any Grantor at any time
holds or acquires an interest in any electronic chattel paper or any “transferable record,”
as that term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in
effect in any relevant jurisdiction, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Administrative
Agent thereof and, at the request of the Administrative Agent, shall take such action as
the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to vest in the Administrative Agent control
under New York UCC Section 9-105 of such electronic chattel paper or control under Section
201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the
case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such
jurisdiction, of such transferable record. The Administrative Agent agrees with such
Grantor that the Administrative Agent will arrange, pursuant to procedures reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and so long as such procedures will not result in
the Administrative Agent’s loss of control, for the Grantor to make alterations to the
electronic chattel paper or transferable record permitted under UCC Section 9-105 or, as
the case may be, Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National
Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in
control to allow without loss of control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by such Grantor with respect
to such electronic chattel paper or transferable record.

     (e) Letter of Credit Rights. If any Grantor is at any time a beneficiary under a
letter of credit now or hereafter issued in favor of such Grantor, such Grantor shall
promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, at the request and option of the
Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative

 

23

Agent, either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to
consent to an assignment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under
the letter of credit or (ii) arrange for the Administrative Agent to become the transferee
beneficiary of the letter of credit, with the Administrative Agent agreeing, in each case,
that the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit are to be paid to the
applicable Grantor unless an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.

     ((f) Commercial Tort Claims. If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a
commercial tort claim in an amount reasonably estimated to exceed $250,000, the Grantor
shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Grantor
including a summary description of such claim and grant to the Administrative Agent in such
writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this
Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.

          SECTION 4.05. Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral. (a) Each
Grantor agrees that it will not do any act or omit do to any act (and will exercise commercially
reasonable efforts to prevent its licensees from doing any act or omitting to do any act) whereby
any Patent that is material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business may become invalidated or
dedicated to the public, and agrees that it shall continue to mark any products covered by a Patent
with the relevant patent number as necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its maximum
rights under applicable patent laws.

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

          (c) Each Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or sublicensees) will, for each work
covered by a material Copyright, continue to publish, reproduce, display, adopt and distribute the
work with appropriate copyright notice as necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its
maximum rights under applicable copyright laws.

          (d) Each Grantor shall notify the Administrative Agent promptly if it knows or has reason to
know that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the conduct of its business may become
abandoned, lost or dedicated to the public, or of any materially adverse determination or
development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any
proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any
court or similar office of any

 

24

country) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright, its right
to register the same, or its right to keep and maintain the same.

          (e) In no event shall any Grantor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or
designee, file an application for any Patent, Trademark or Copyright (or for the registration of
any Trademark or Copyright) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States
Copyright Office or any office or agency in any political subdivision of the United States or in
any other country or any political subdivision thereof, unless it promptly informs the
Administrative Agent, and, upon request of the Administrative Agent, executes and delivers any and
all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
request to evidence the Administrative Agent’s security interest in such Patent, Trademark or
Copyright, and each Grantor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact to
execute and file such writings for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby
ratified and confirmed; such power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable.

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

          (g) In the event that any Grantor has reason to believe that any Article 9 Collateral
consisting of a Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the conduct of any Grantor’s business
has been or is about to be infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor
promptly shall notify the Administrative Agent and shall, if consistent with good business
judgment, promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all
damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and take such other actions as are
appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Article 9 Collateral.

          (h) Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals by the licensor of
each Copyright License, Patent License or Trademark License to effect the assignment of all such
Grantor’s right, title and interest thereunder to the Administrative Agent or its designee.

 

25

ARTICLE V

Remedies

          SECTION 5.01. Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, each Grantor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Administrative
Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to take any of
or all the following actions at the same or different times: (a) with respect to any Article 9
Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the Security Interest to become
an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Article 9 Collateral by the applicable
Grantors to the Administrative Agent, or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or
otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such Article 9 Collateral
throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Administrative Agent
shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent
that waivers cannot be obtained on commercially reasonable terms), and (b) with or without legal
process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the
Article 9 Collateral and without liability for trespass to enter any premises where the Article 9
Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Article 9
Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the
Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory
requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral
at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon
credit or for future delivery as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate. The
Administrative Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable
to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree
that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to
the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Administrative Agent
shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the
Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold
absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives
(to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor
now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or
hereafter enacted.

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

 

26

Administrative Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale,
the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate
parcels, as the Administrative Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The
Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall
determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have
been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or
private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and
place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to
which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on
credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent
until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Administrative Agent
shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and
pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again
upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant
to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law)
from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said
rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any
part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due
and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such
Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such
property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written
agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the
Administrative Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor
shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto,
notwithstanding the fact that after the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such an
agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an
alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Administrative Agent may
proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the
Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having
competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially
reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other
jurisdictions.

          SECTION 5.02. Application of Proceeds. The Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of
any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, as follows:

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

 

27

any Grantor and any other reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in
connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan
Document;

     SECOND, to the payment in full of the Obligations (the amounts so applied to be
distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the
Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution); and

     THIRD, to the Grantors, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

The Administrative Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such
proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the
Administrative Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial
proceeding), the receipt of the Administrative Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a
sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or
purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid
over to the Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication
thereof.

          SECTION 5.03. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the purpose of enabling the
Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the
Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor
hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without
payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use, license or sublicense any of the
Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such
Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to
all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software
and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. The use of such license by the
Administrative Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Administrative Agent, upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, provided that any license,
sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Administrative Agent in accordance herewith
shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.

          SECTION 5.04. Securities Act. In view of the position of the Grantors in relation to the
Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under
the Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter enacted
analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in
effect being called the “Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the
Pledged Collateral permitted hereunder. Each Grantor understands that compliance with the Federal
Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Administrative Agent if the
Administrative Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and
might also limit the

 

28

extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral
could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations
affecting the Administrative Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged
Collateral under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in
purpose or effect. Each Grantor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the
Administrative Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Collateral, limit the purchasers
to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral for their own
account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor
acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Administrative
Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a
registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof shall
have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single
potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale
might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public
sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Administrative Agent shall
incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a
price that the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem
reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher
price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or
if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section 5.04 will apply
notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales
prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Administrative Agent sells.

          SECTION 5.05. Registration. Each Grantor agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, if for any reason the Administrative Agent desires to sell any
of the Pledged Collateral at a public sale, such Grantor will, at any time and from time to time,
upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, use its commercially reasonable efforts to
take or to cause the issuer of such Pledged Collateral to take such action and prepare, distribute
and/or file such documents, as are required or advisable in the reasonable opinion of counsel for
the Administrative Agent to permit the public sale of such Pledged Collateral. Each Grantor
further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each other Secured
Party, any underwriter and their respective officers, directors, affiliates and controlling persons
from and against all loss, liability, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, reasonable costs of
counsel (including reasonable fees and expenses to the Administrative Agent of legal counsel), and
claims (including the reasonable costs of investigation) that they may incur insofar as such loss,
liability, expense or claim arises out of or is based upon any alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or in any
notification or offering circular, or arises out of or is based upon any alleged omission to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in any thereof
not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been caused by any untrue statement or omission
based upon information furnished in writing to such Grantor or the issuer of such Pledged
Collateral by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party expressly for use therein. Each
Grantor further agrees, upon such written request referred to above, to use its

 

29

commercially reasonable efforts to qualify, file or register, or cause the issuer of such
Pledged Collateral to qualify, file or register, any of the Pledged Collateral under the Blue Sky
or other securities laws of such states as may be requested by the Administrative Agent and keep
effective, or cause to be kept effective, all such qualifications, filings or registrations. Each
Grantor will bear all costs and expenses of carrying out its obligations under this Section 5.05.
Each Grantor acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by it to comply with
the provisions of this Section 5.05 and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in
damages, and therefore agrees that its agreements contained in this Section 5.05 may be
specifically enforced.

ARTICLE VI

Indemnity, Subrogation and Subordination

          SECTION 6.01. Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and
subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 6.03), each
Borrower agrees that (a) in the event a payment of an obligation shall be made by any Guarantor
under this Agreement, such Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such
payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment
shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (b) in the event any assets of any Grantor
shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Security Document to satisfy in whole or in
part an obligation owed to any Secured Party, the applicable Borrower shall indemnify such Grantor
in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.

          SECTION 6.02. Contribution and Subrogation. Each US Borrower Subsidiary Party (a
“Contributing Party”) agrees (subject to Section 6.03) that, in the event a payment shall
be made by any other US Borrower Subsidiary Party hereunder in respect of any Obligation or assets
of any other US Borrower Subsidiary Party shall be sold pursuant to any Security Document to
satisfy any Obligation owed to any Secured Party and such other US Borrower Subsidiary Party (the
“Claiming Party”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the applicable Borrower as
provided in Section 6.01, the Contributing Party shall indemnify the Claiming Party in an amount
equal to the amount of such payment or the greater of the book value or the fair market value of
such assets, as the case may be, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall
be the net worth of the Contributing Party on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the
aggregate net worth of all the US Borrower Subsidiary Parties on the date hereof (or, in the case
of any US Borrower Subsidiary Party becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 7.14, the date of
the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement Supplement hereto executed and delivered by such US Borrower
Subsidiary Party). Any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this
Section 6.02 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party under Section 6.01 to the
extent of such payment.

          SECTION 6.03. Subordination. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, all rights of the Guarantors and Grantors under

 

30

Sections 6.01 and 6.02 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under
applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash
of the Obligations. No failure on the part of any Borrower or any Guarantor or Grantor to make the
payments required by Sections 6.01 and 6.02 (or any other payments required under applicable law or
otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor or Grantor
with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor or Grantor shall remain liable for

ARTICLE VII

Miscellaneous

          SECTION 7.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise
expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit
Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Subsidiary Loan Party shall be given to
it in care of the US Borrower as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

          SECTION 7.02. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any
Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan
Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such
right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The
rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that
they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any
departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be
permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 7.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as
a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any
Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice to or demand on any
Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances.

          (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the
Loan Party or Loan Parties with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to
apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.

 

31

          SECTION 7.03. Administrative Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The parties
hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement.

          (b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents,
each Grantor and each Guarantor agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the other
Indemnitees (as defined in Section 9.03(b) of the Credit Agreement) against, and hold each
Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for
any Indemnitee, reasonably incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of (i) the arrangement and the syndication of the credit facilities
provided for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents
or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties to the
Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions
or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan, B/A or Letter of Credit or the use of
the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment
under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of
Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by Parent, the
Borrowers or any of the other Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to
Parent, the Borrowers or any of the other Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and
regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by Parent or any Affiliate
thereof, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the
extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealed judgment to have
resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee or such Indemnitee’s
violation of any applicable law or breach of its obligations under the Loan Documents.

          (c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured
hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions of this Section 7.03 shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of
the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or
any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 7.03 shall be payable on written
demand therefor.

          SECTION 7.04. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto
is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of
such party; and all covenants, promises and

 

32

agreements by or on behalf of any Guarantor, Grantor or the Administrative Agent that are
contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and
assigns.

          SECTION 7.05. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other
instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any
Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and
notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice
or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is
extended under the Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the
principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under any
Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the
Commitments have not expired or terminated.

          SECTION 7.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement. This Agreement may be executed
in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall
become effective as to any Loan Party when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Loan
Party shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have
been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Loan
Party and the Administrative Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall
inure to the benefit of such Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and
their respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party shall have the right to assign
or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and
any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement
or the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to
each Loan Party and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any
Loan Party without the approval of any other Loan Party and without affecting the obligations of
any other Loan Party hereunder.

          SECTION 7.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such invalidity, illegality or uneforceability without affecting the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The
parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of
the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

 

33

          SECTION 7.08. Right of Set-Off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time
to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any
time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Subsidiary Loan
Party against any of and all the obligations of such Subsidiary Loan Party now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement owed to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall
have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The
rights of each Lender under this Section 7.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of set-off) which such Lender may have.

          SECTION 7.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

          (b) Each of Parent, the US Borrower and the Subsidiary Loan Parties hereby irrevocably and

other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect
any right that Parent, the US Borrower, the Subsidiary Loan Parties, any Agent, any Issuing Bank or
any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document against any other party hereto or their properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction.

          (c) Each of Parent, the US Borrower and the Subsidiary Loan Parties hereby irrevocably and

which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising
out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in
paragraph (b) of this Section 7.09. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such

          (c) Upon any sale or other transfer by any Grantor (other than to Parent or any Subsidiary)

a Subsidiary of a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement Supplement, such Subsidiary shall become a
Subsidiary Loan Party hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a
Subsidiary Loan Party herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require

hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Loan Party

appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution either in the Administrative
Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and
all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the

Accounts Receivable to any Account Debtor; (e) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions
or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise

make payment directly to the Administrative Agent; and (h) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge,
make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do
all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and
completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all
purposes, provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or
obligating the Administrative Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature
or sufficiency of any payment received by the Administrative Agent, or to present or file any claim
or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys
due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Administrative Agent
and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result
of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their officers,
directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act
hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or wilful misconduct (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealed judgment).

 

 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the day and

days annually, to be awarded and taken in accordance with Company policy, as amended from time to
time.

     (e) Expenses. The Company will pay or reimburse the Employee for all normal and
reasonable travel and entertainment expenses incurred by the Employee in connection
with the
Employee’s responsibilities to the Company upon submission of proper vouchers in
accordance
with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy. The company will provide the
Employee
with access to a credit card, subject to the approval of the credit card company and
based on the Employee’s credit history, and which should only be used for business purposes.
Payment is the
responsibility of the Employee.

     (f) Stock Options. Any future stock option grants will be granted based upon the
performance of the Employee, which will be assessed in the sole discretion of the
Company and
the Compensation Committee of the Board. All option grants shall be made under the
terms and
conditions set forth in the applicable Clear Channel Communications Stock Option Plan
under
which they are issued. The Company reserves the right to modify any future Company
stock
option plan with respect to the change of control or any other provision of said
plan. The
Company’s obligations under this agreement to the Employee in the area of stock
options are
conditioned upon and subject to the Company’s decision, in its sole discretion, to;
1) alter,
suspend or discontinue its stock option grant program; or 2) replace the program with
an
alternative form or method of compensation.

4. NONDISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

     During the course of the Employee’s employment with the Company, the Company will
provide the Employee with access to certain confidential information, trade secrets, and other
matters which are of a confidential or proprietary nature, including but not limited to the
Company’s customer lists, pricing information, production and cost data, compensation and fee
information, strategic business plans, budgets, financial statements, and other information the
Company treats as confidential or proprietary (collectively the “Confidential Information”). The
Company provides on an ongoing basis such Confidential Information as the Company deems
necessary or desirable to aid the Employee in the performance of her duties. The Employee
understands and acknowledges that such Confidential Information is confidential and
proprietary, and agrees not to disclose such Confidential Information to anyone outside the
Company except to the extent that (i) the Employee deems such disclosure or use reasonably
necessary or appropriate in connection with performing her duties on behalf of the Company; (ii)
the Employee is required by order of a court of competent jurisdiction (by subpoena or similar
process) to disclose or discuss any Confidential Information, provided that in such case, the
Employee shall promptly inform the Company of such event, shall cooperate with the Company in
attempting to obtain a protective order or to otherwise restrict such disclosure, and shall only
disclose Confidential Information to the minimum extent necessary to comply with any such court
order; or (iii) such Confidential Information becomes generally known to and available for use
in the industries in which the Company does business, other than as a result of any action or
inaction by the Employee. The Employee further agrees that she will not during employment
and/or at any time thereafter use such Confidential Information in competing, directly or
indirectly, with the Company. At such time as the Employee shall cease to be employed by the
Company, she will immediately turn over to the Company all Confidential Information, including
papers, documents, writings, electronically stored information, other property, and all
copies of them, provided to or created by her during the course of her employment with the

2

 

Company. This nondisclosure covenant is binding on the Employee, as well as her heirs,
successors, and legal representatives, and will survive the termination of this Agreement
for any reason.

5. NONHIRE OF COMPANY EMPLOYEES.

     To further preserve the rights of the Company pursuant to the nondisclosure covenant
discussed above, and for the consideration promised by the Company under this Agreement, during
the term of the Employee’s employment with the Company and for a period of 12 months’
thereafter, regardless of the reason for termination of employment,
the Employee will not,
directly or indirectly, (i) hire any current or prospective employee of the Company, or any
subsidiary or affiliate of the Company (including, without limitation, any current or
prospective employee of the Company within the 6-month period preceding the Employee’s last
day of employment with the Company or within the 12-month period of this covenant) who worked,
works, or has been offered employment by the Company; (ii) solicit or encourage any such
employee to terminate their employment with the Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate of the
Company; or (iii) solicit or encourage any such employee to accept employment with any
business, operation, corporation, partnership, association, agency, or other person or entity
with which the Employee may be associated. If, during the term of this non-hire covenant,
the Employee learns that any such employee has accepted employment with any business,
operation, corporation, partnership, association, agency, or other person or entity with
which the Employee may be associated (other than the Company), the Employee will
immediately send notice to the Company identifying the employee and certifying that the
Employee did not breach any provision of this non-hire covenant.

6. NON-COMPETITION.

     To further preserve the rights of the Company pursuant to the nondisclosure
covenant discussed above, and for the consideration promised by the Company under this
Agreement, during the Employee’s employment with the Company and for a period of one year
thereafter, regardless of the reason for termination of employment, the Employee will not,
directly or indirectly, as an owner, director, principal, agent, officer, employee, partner,
consultant, servant, or otherwise, carry on, operate, manage, control, or become involved in
any manner with any business, operation, corporation, partnership, association, agency, or other
person or entity which is in the same business as the Company in any location in which the
Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, operates or has plans or has
projected to operate during the Employee’s employment with the Company, including any area
within a 50-mile radius of any such location. The foregoing shall not prohibit the Employee
from owning up to 5.0% of the outstanding stock of any publicly held company. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, after the Employee’s employment with the Company has terminated, upon
receiving written permission by the Board, the Employee shall be permitted to engage in such
competing activities that would otherwise be prohibited by this covenant if such activities
are determined in the sole discretion of the Board in good faith to be immaterial to the
operations of the Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, in the location in
question.

     To further preserve the rights of the Company pursuant to the nondisclosure covenant
discussed above, and for the consideration promised by the Company under this Agreement,
during the term of the Employee’s employment with the Company and for a period of one year
thereafter, regardless of the reason for termination of employment, the Employee will not,

3

 

directly or indirectly, either for herself or for any other business, operation, corporation,
partnership, association, agency, or other person or entity, call upon, compete for, solicit,
divert or take away, or attempt to divert or take away current or prospective customers
(including without limitation, any customer with whom the Company, or any subsidiary or
affiliate of the Company, (i) has an existing agreement or business relationship; (ii) has had
an agreement or business relationship within the six-month period preceding the Employee’s
last day of employment with the Company; or (iii) has included as a prospect in its applicable
pipeline) of the Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.

     The Company and the Employee agree that the restrictions contained in this
noncompetition covenant are reasonable in scope and duration and are necessary to protect
the Company’s business interests and Confidential Information. If any provision of this
noncompetition covenant as applied to any party or to any circumstance is adjudged by a
court or arbitrator to be invalid or unenforceable, the same will in no way affect any other
circumstance or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement. If any such provision, or
any part thereof, is held to be unenforceable because of the scope, duration, or geographic area
covered thereby, the parties agree that the court or arbitrator making such determination
shall have the power to reduce the scope and/or duration and/or geographic area of such
provision, and/or to delete specific words or phrases, and in its reduced form, such
provision shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced. The parties agree and acknowledge
that the breach of this noncompetition covenant will cause irreparable damage to the
Company, and upon breach of any provision of this noncompetition covenant, the Company shall
be entitled to injunctive relief, specific performance, or other equitable relief; provided,
however, that this shall in no way limit any other remedies which the Company may have
(including, without limitation, the right to seek monetary damages).

     Should the Employee violate the provisions of this noncompetition covenant, then in,
addition to all other rights and remedies available to the Company at law or in equity, the
duration of this covenant shall automatically be extended for the period of time from which the
Employee began such violation until she permanently ceases such violation.

7. TERMINATION.

     The Employee’s employment with the Company may be terminated under the following
circumstances:

     (a) Death. The Employee’s employment with the Company shall terminate upon her
death.

     (b) Disability. The Company may terminate the Employee’s employment with the
Company if, as a result of the Employee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness, the
Employee is unable to perform her duties under this Agreement on a full-time basis for more

     (c) Termination By The Company. The Company may terminate the Employee,

the Company
or any of its affiliates other than the occasional, customary and de minimis use of Company
property for personal purposes, or other willful misconduct as determined in the sole discretion
of the Company; (ii) continued, willful and deliberate non-performance by the Employee of her
duties hereunder (other than by reason of the Employee’s physical or mental illness, incapacity
or disability) where such non-performance has continued for more than 10 days following
written notice of such non-performance; (iii) the Employee’s refusal or failure to follow lawful
directives where such refusal or failure has continued for more than 30 days following written
notice of such refusal or failure; (iv) a criminal or civil conviction of the Employee, a plea of

limitation, conviction of fraud, theft, embezzlement, or a crime involving moral turpitude; (v) a

designated,

reason of her disability, the Company shall, within 90 days, pay in a lump sum

     (e) Effect Of Compliance With Compensation Upon Termination Provisions.
Upon complying with Subparagraphs 8(a) through 8(d) above, as applicable, the Company
will have no further obligations to the Employee except as otherwise expressly provided
under this Agreement, provided that such compliance will not adversely affect or alter the
Employee’s rights under any employee benefit plan of the Company in which the Employee has
a vested interest, unless, otherwise provided in such employee benefit plan or any
agreement or other instrument attendant thereto.

9.  PARTIES BENEFITED; ASSIGNMENTS.

     This Agreement shall be binding upon the Employee, her heirs and her personal
representative or representatives, and upon the Company and its respective successors and
assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by the
Employee, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

10. GOVERNING LAW.

     This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal
laws of the State of Texas without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict
provisions or rule (whether of the State of Texas or any other jurisdiction) that would cause
the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Texas and the Employee
hereby expressly consents to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located
in the State of Texas for any lawsuit arising from or relating to this Agreement.

11. DEFINITION OF COMPANY.

     During and after the Employee’s employment, the Employee shall reasonably
cooperate with the Company in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in
existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Company which
relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Employee was employed by the
Company; provided, however, that such cooperation shall not materially and adversely affect
the Employee or expose the Employee to an increased probability of civil or criminal
litigation. The Employee’s cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall
include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for
discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Company at mutually convenient
times. During and after the Employee’s employment, the Employee also shall cooperate fully
with the Company in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or
local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or
occurrences that transpired while the Employee was employed by the Company. The Company
will pay the Employee on an hourly basis (to be derived from her base salary) for requested
litigation and regulatory cooperation that occurs after her termination of employment, and
reimburse the Employee for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with her
performance under this paragraph, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees
and costs.

13. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE; LEGAL EXPENSES.

     The Company shall indemnify the Employee to the fullest extent permitted by law, in effect
at the time of the subject act or omission, and shall advance to the Employee reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses as such fees and expenses are incurred (subject to an undertaking
from the Employee to repay such advances if it shall be finally determined by a judicial
decision which is not subject to further appeal that the Employee was not entitled to the
reimbursement of such fees and expenses), and the Employee will be entitled to the protection
of any insurance policies that the Company may elect to maintain generally for the benefit of
its directors and officers against all costs, charges and expenses incurred or sustained by her
in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which she may be made a party by reason of
her being or having been a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, or her serving or having served any other enterprise as a director, officer or
employee at the request of the Company (other than any dispute, claim or controversy arising
under or relating to this Agreement). The Company covenants to maintain during the Employee’s
employment for the benefit of the Employee (in her capacity as an officer and director of the
Company) Directors and Officers Insurance providing benefits to the Employee no less favorable,
taken as a whole, than the benefits provided to the other similarly situated employees of the
Company by the Directors and Officers Insurance maintained by the Company on the date hereof;
provided, however, that the Board may elect to terminate Directors and Officers Insurance for all
officers and directors, including the Employee, if the Board determines in good faith that such
insurance is not available or is available only at unreasonable expense. However, if it is
determined that Employee is not eligible for coverage under any Company insurance policy,
Employee will nevertheless be entitled to indemnification to the fullest extend permitted by
law.

14. ARBITRATION.

     The parties agree that any dispute, controversy or claim, whether based on contract, tort
statute, discrimination, retaliation, or otherwise, relating to, arising from or
connected in any manner to this Agreement, or to the alleged breach of this Agreement, or arising
out of or relating to Employee’s employment or termination of employment, shall, upon timely written
request of either party be submitted to and resolved by binding arbitration. The arbitration
shall be conducted in San Antonio, Texas. The arbitration shall proceed in accordance with the
National Rules for Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”) in effect at the time the claim or dispute arose, unless other rules are agreed upon the
parties. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing, the arbitration shall be conducted by
one arbitrator who is a member of the AAA and who is selected pursuant to the methods set out in
the National Rules for Resolution of Employment Disputes of the AAA. Any claims received after the
applicable/relevant statute of limitations period has passed shall be deemed null and void. The
award of the arbitrator shall be a reasoned award with of findings of fact and conclusions of law.
Either party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration
under this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, and to vacate an arbitration award. However,
in actions seeking to vacate an award, the standard of review to be applied by said court to the
arbitrator’s findings of fact and conclusions of law will be the same as that applied by an
appellate court reviewing a decision of a trial court sitting without a jury. The Company will
pay the actual costs of arbitration excluding attorney’s fees. Each party will pay its own
attorneys fees and other costs incurred by their respective attorneys.

hereof. This Agreement supersedes any prior written or oral agreements or understandings
between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof. No modification or amendment of
this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by or on behalf of the parties

circumstances, all of which shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law. The
