     4.4 Investment Related Property. Investment Related Property Generally.

     (a) Covenants and Agreements. Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that:

     (i) in the event it acquires rights in any Investment Related Property after

on an annual basis or as otherwise expressly required by the Credit Agreement, a
completed Pledge Supplement, substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached
hereto, together with all Supplements to Schedules thereto, reflecting such new
Investment Related Property and all other Investment Related Property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the security
interest of the Collateral Agent shall attach to all Investment Related Property
immediately upon any Grantor’s acquisition of rights therein and shall not be
affected by the failure of any Grantor to deliver a supplement to Schedule
4.4 as required hereby;

     (ii) except as provided in the next sentence, in the event such Grantor
receives any dividends, interest or distributions on any Investment Related
Property, or any securities or other property upon the merger, consolidation,
liquidation or dissolution of any issuer of any Investment Related Property, then

18

 

(a) such dividends, interest or distributions and securities or other property
shall be included in the definition of Collateral without further action and (b)
such Grantor shall promptly take all steps reasonably requested by the Collateral
Agent to ensure the validity, perfection, priority and, if applicable, control of
the Collateral Agent over such Investment Related Property (including, without
limitation, delivery thereof to the Collateral Agent) and pending any such action
such Grantor shall be deemed to hold such dividends, interest, distributions,
securities or other property for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall
segregate such dividends, distributions, Securities or other property from all other
property of such Grantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent authorizes each
Grantor to retain all cash dividends and distributions and all payments of interest;

     (iii) each Grantor consents to the grant by each other Grantor of a Security
Interest in all Investment Related Property to the Collateral Agent.

     (b) Delivery and Control.

     (i) Each Grantor agrees that with respect to any Investment Related Property in
which it currently has rights it shall comply with the provisions of this Section
4.4(b) on or before the Closing Date (or such other time period as specified in the
Credit Agreement) and with respect to any Investment Related Property hereafter
acquired by such Grantor it shall comply with the provisions of this Section 4.4(b)
no later than the next Quarterly Reporting Date after acquiring rights therein, in
each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.
With respect to any Investment Related Property that is represented by a certificate
or that is an “instrument” (other than any Investment Related Property credited to a
Securities Account) it shall cause such certificate or instrument to be delivered to
the Collateral Agent, indorsed in blank by an “effective indorsement” (as defined in
Section 8-107 of the UCC), regardless of whether such certificate constitutes a
“certificated security” for purposes of the UCC. With respect to any Investment
Related Property that is an “uncertificated security” for purposes of the UCC
(other than any “uncertificated securities” credited to a Securities Account), it
shall cause any issuer of such uncertificated security which is a Subsidiary (other
than an Immaterial Subsidiary), and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause any issuer of such uncertificated security which is not a Subsidiary, upon
request by the Collateral Agent, execute an agreement substantially in the form of
Exhibit B hereto or such other form reasonably acceptable to the Collateral
Agent, pursuant to which such issuer agrees to comply with the Collateral Agent’s
instructions with respect to such uncertificated security without further consent by
such Grantor.

19

related property in this Agreement or elsewhere herein or in the
Credit Agreement, each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise or
refrain from exercising any and all voting and other consensual
rights pertaining to the Investment Related Property or any part
thereof for any purpose not inconsistent in any material respect
with the terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement; it
being understood, however, that neither the voting by such
Grantor of any Pledged Stock for, or such Grantor’s consent to,
the election of directors (or similar governing body) at a
regularly scheduled annual or other meeting of stockholders or
with respect to incidental matters at any such meeting, nor such
Grantor’s consent to or approval of any action otherwise
permitted under this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, shall
be deemed inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the
Credit Agreement within the meaning of this Section
4.4(c)(i)(1), and no notice of any such voting or consent need
be given to the Collateral Agent; and
	 
	 	(2)	 	the Collateral Agent shall
promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and
delivered) to each Grantor all proxies, and other instruments as
such Grantor may from time to time reasonably request for the
purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and
other consensual rights when and to the extent which it is
entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (1) above;

     (ii) Upon either delivery by any Grantor to the Collateral Agent of written
notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or delivery by the
Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent to Grantor of written notice that the
Event of Default exists:

	 	(A)	 	all rights of each Grantor to
exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other
consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to
exercise pursuant hereto shall, upon notice to such Grantor by
the Collateral Agent, cease and all such rights shall thereupon
become vested in the Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have
the sole

20

 

	 	 	 	right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights;
and
	 
	 	(B)	 	in order to permit the Collateral
Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which
it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive
all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled
to receive hereunder: (1) each Grantor shall promptly execute
and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the
Collateral Agent all proxies, dividend payment orders and other
instruments as the Collateral Agent may from time to time
reasonably request and (2) each Grantor acknowledges that the
Collateral Agent may utilize the power of attorney set forth in
Section 6.1.

     (d) Limitation on Foreign Pledges. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4
or any other Section of this Agreement to the contrary, the Obligations of the U.S. Credit
Parties shall not be secured by, and the Grantors shall not be required to deliver to the
Collateral Agent as security for such Obligations, more than 65% of all classes of
outstanding Capital Stock of a Foreign Subsidiary entitled to vote.

the Closing Date or, with respect to licenses entered into after the Closing Date to
the Collateral Agent on the next Quarterly Reporting Date;

     (vi) except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, each Grantor uses
adequate standards of quality in the manufacture, distribution, and sale of all

such adequate standards of quality;

     (vii) to such Grantor’s knowledge, the conduct of such Grantor’s business does

or as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 4.7.

     (b) Covenants and Agreements. Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees as
follows:

     (i) it shall not do any act or omit to do any commercially unreasonable act
whereby any of the Intellectual Property which in its reasonable judgment is

grant, or enforceability of the security interest granted therein;

     (ii) it shall not, with respect to any Trademarks which are material to the
business of any Grantor, as determined in its reasonable judgment, cease the use of
any of such Trademarks or fail to maintain the level of the quality of products sold

register the Copyright in the United States Copyright Office except for works with
respect to which the Grantor has determined with the exercise of its commercially
reasonable judgment that it shall not so apply;

     (iv) it shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent if it knows that any item of
the Intellectual Property that in its reasonable judgment is material to the
business of any Grantor may become (a) abandoned or dedicated to the public or
placed in the public domain, (b) invalid or unenforceable, or (c) subject to any
adverse determination or development (including the institution of proceedings) in
any action or proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the
United States Copyright Office, and state registry, any foreign counterpart of the
foregoing, or any court, except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect;

     (v) it shall take all reasonable steps in the United States Patent and
Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, any state registry or any
foreign counterpart of the foregoing, to pursue any application and maintain any
registration of each Trademark, Patent, and Copyright owned by any Grantor and
material to its business which is now or shall become included in the Intellectual
Property including, but not limited to, those items on Schedule 4.7(A), (C) and
(E) (as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time), except as would
not have a Material Adverse Effect;

     (vi) in the event that any Intellectual Property owned by or exclusively
licensed to any Grantor that in its reasonable judgment is material to the business
of such Grantor is, to such Grantor’s knowledge, infringed, misappropriated, or
diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall promptly take all reasonable actions to
stop such infringement, misappropriation, or dilution and protect its rights in such
Intellectual Property (except for such works in respect to which such Grantor has
determined in the exercise of its commercially reasonable judgment that it shall not
take any action);

28

 

     (vii) On the Quarterly Reporting Date after a filing or registration described
in clause (i) or (ii) takes place, it shall promptly (but in no event more than
thirty (30) days after any Grantor obtains knowledge thereof) report to the
Collateral Agent (i) the filing of any application to register any material
Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United
States Copyright Office, or any state registry or foreign counterpart of the
foregoing (whether such application is filed by such Grantor or through any agent,
employee, licensee, or designee thereof) and (ii) the registration of any
Intellectual Property by any such office, in each case by executing and delivering
to the Collateral Agent a completed Pledge Supplement, substantially in the form of
Exhibit A attached hereto, together with all Supplements to Schedules

confirm, register, record, or perfect the Collateral Agent’s interest in any part of
the Intellectual Property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired;

unreasonably withheld) or with respect to Permitted Liens, each Grantor shall not
execute, and there will not be on file in any public office, any financing statement
or other document or instruments, except financing statements or other documents or
instruments filed or to be filed in favor of the Collateral Agent and each Grantor
shall not license, grant any option, or create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or
with respect to the material Intellectual Property, except for (a) the Liens created
by and under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and (b) licenses entered
into in the ordinary course of business of such Grantor; and

     (x) it shall hereafter use commercially reasonable efforts so as not to permit
the inclusion in any Material Contract to which it hereafter becomes a party of any
provision that could or might in any way materially impair or prevent the creation
of a security interest in, or the assignment of, such Grantor’s rights and interests
in any property included within the definitions of any Intellectual Property
acquired under such contracts, provided that this shall not apply to standard form
contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business.

     (xi) it shall use proper statutory notice in connection with its use of any
Patent, except where the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect;
and

     (xii) unless otherwise determined in the exercise of business judgment, it
shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due to
such Grantor in respect of the material Intellectual Property or any portion
thereof. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, in connection with such collections, each Grantor may take (and, at the
Collateral Agent’s reasonable direction, shall take) such action as such Grantor or
the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary to enforce collection of such

29

 

amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the
right at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to notify, or require any Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to
any such amounts of the existence of the security interest created hereby.

     4.11 Commercial Tort Claims.

     (a) Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor hereby represents and
warrants, on the Closing Date and on each Credit Date, that Schedule 4.8 sets forth
all Commercial Tort Claims of each Grantor in excess of $1,000,000 individually or
$5,000,000 in the aggregate as of the Closing Date or thereafter, as of the date on which
financial statements were required to be provided under the Credit Agreement for the last
Fiscal Quarter then ended or the last date such Schedule 4.8 was otherwise required
to be amended or supplemented in accordance with the Credit Agreement; and

     (b) Covenants and Agreements. Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that
with respect to any Commercial Tort Claim in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000
in the aggregate hereafter arising it shall on the next Quarterly Reporting Date after it
acquires rights in such Commercial Tort Claims deliver to the Collateral Agent a completed
Pledge Supplement, substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, together
with all Supplements to Schedules thereto, identifying such new Commercial Tort Claims.

SECTION 5

FURTHER ASSURANCES; ADDITIONAL GRANTORS

     5.1 Further Assurances.

     (a) Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Grantor, that it
shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all
further action, that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to create and/or
maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security interest granted
hereby or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies
hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
each Grantor shall:

     (i) file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and
execute and deliver such other agreements, instruments, endorsements, powers of
attorney or notices, as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to
perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be granted
hereby; and

     (ii) take all actions necessary to ensure the recordation of appropriate
evidence of the liens and security interest granted hereunder in the Intellectual

30

 

Property with any intellectual property registry in which said Intellectual
Property is registered or in which an application for registration is pending
including, without limitation, the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the
United States Copyright Office, the various Secretaries of State, and the foreign
counterparts on any of the foregoing.

     (b) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file a Record or Records,
including, without limitation, financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto,
in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Collateral Agent may determine, in
its sole discretion, are necessary to perfect the security interest granted to the
Collateral Agent herein. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same
manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that
describes such property in any other manner as the Collateral Agent may determine, in its
sole discretion, is necessary, to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the
Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent herein, including, without limitation, describing
such property as “all assets” or “all personal property, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired.

     (c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to modify this Agreement after
obtaining such Grantor’s approval of or signature to such modification by amending
Schedule 4.7 to include reference to any right, title or interest in any existing
Intellectual Property or any Intellectual Property acquired or developed by any Grantor
after the execution hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any
Intellectual Property in which any Grantor no longer has or claims any right, title or
interest.

     5.2 Additional Grantors.

     From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Persons may become parties hereto
as additional Grantors (each, an “Additional Grantor”), by executing a Counterpart Agreement. Upon
delivery of any such counterpart agreement to the Collateral Agent, notice of which is hereby
waived by Grantors, each Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall be as fully a party hereto
as if Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its
obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any
other Grantor hereunder, nor by any election of the Collateral Agent not to cause any Subsidiary of
Company to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to
any Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or
fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.

31

 

SECTION 6

COLLATERAL AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT

     6.1 Power of Attorney.

     To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the
Collateral Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Grantor’s
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of
such Grantor, the Collateral Agent or otherwise, from time to time, to take any of the following
actions:

     (a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to obtain

reasonably request for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the
rights of the Collateral Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;

     (e) to prepare and file any UCC financing statements against such Grantor as debtor;

     (f) to prepare, sign, and file for recordation in any intellectual property registry,
appropriate evidence of the lien and security interest granted herein in the Intellectual
Property in the name of such Grantor as debtor;

     (g) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take or
cause to be taken all actions necessary to perform or comply or cause performance or
compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, access to pay or
discharge taxes or Liens (other than Permitted Liens) levied or placed upon or threatened
against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to
discharge the same to be determined by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, any such
payments made by the Collateral Agent to become obligations of such Grantor to the
Collateral Agent, due and payable immediately without demand; and

32

 

     (h) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, generally to
sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the
Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner
thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s
expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the Collateral Agent
deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the
Collateral Agent’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this
Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

     6.2 No Duty on the Part of Collateral Agent or Secured Parties.

     The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests of
the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or
any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall
be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such
powers, and neither they nor any of 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 willful misconduct.

SECTION 7

REMEDIES

     7.1 Generally.

     (a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent
may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies
provided for herein or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and
remedies of the Collateral Agent on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to
the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing,
whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously:

     (i) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its
expense and promptly upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or
part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to
the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is
reasonably convenient to both parties;

     (ii) enter onto the property owned or leased by any Grantor where any
Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process;

33

 

     (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store the Collateral or
otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the
Collateral Agent deems appropriate; and

     (iv) without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, sell, assign,
lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the
Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at
any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for
future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such
other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable.

     (b) The Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the
Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to the portion of the Collateral being
privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject
of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the
Collateral Agent, as collateral agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall
be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase
price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with
the UCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the
purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale. Each
purchaser at any such sale 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
applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at
any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter
enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law,
at least ten (10) days notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or
the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable
notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral
regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public
or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and
such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so
adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the
Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites
that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have
the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each
Grantor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) any claims against
the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral
may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been
obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and
does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or
other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations,
Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the reasonable fees of any attorneys
employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees
that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable
injury to the Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in
respect of such breach and, as a consequence,

34

 

that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically
enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives (to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law) and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for
specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred
giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated
maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of the Collateral
Agent hereunder.

     (c) The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to
the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of
title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial
reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

     (d) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.

     7.2 Application of Proceeds.

     All proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale, any collection from, or
other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in full or in part by the
Collateral Agent against, the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of Section 8.3 of
the Credit Agreement.

     7.3 Sales on Credit.

     If the Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only
with payments actually made by purchaser and received by the Collateral Agent and applied to
indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the
Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.

     7.4 Deposit Accounts.

     If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may apply
the balance from any Deposit Account that is subject to a control agreement pursuant to the Credit
Agreement or instruct the bank at which any such Deposit Account is maintained to pay the balance
of any such Deposit Account to or for the benefit of the Collateral Agent. Unless an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent agrees not to instruct any bank
in which any Deposit Account that is subject to a control agreement pursuant to the Credit
Agreement is maintained as provided in the immediately preceding sentence.

     7.5 Investment Related Property.

     Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities
Act and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to
any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration
or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act and/or

35

 

such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things,
to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not with a
view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale
may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without
such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the
Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private
sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral
Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any
Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to
register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under
applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it.
If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment
Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any
Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from time
to time to furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may request
in order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in
the Investment Related Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent in exempt transactions
under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

     7.6 Intellectual Property.

     (a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and
during the continuation of an Event of Default:

     (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring
suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the
Collateral Agent or otherwise, in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, to enforce
any Intellectual Property, in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of the
Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents
required by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement and such Grantor shall
promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent as provided in
the Credit Agreement hereof in connection with the exercise of its rights under this
Section, and, to the extent that the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring suit
to enforce any Intellectual Property as provided in this Section, each Grantor
agrees to use all reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or
otherwise, to prevent the infringement or other violation of any of such Grantor’s
rights in the Intellectual Property that is material to the business by others and
for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding
against any Person so infringing as shall be necessary to prevent such infringement
or violation; and

     (ii) [reserved]

     (iii) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to notify, or require each
Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to

36

 

such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property, of the existence of the
security interest created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all
such amounts directly to the Collateral Agent, and, upon such notification and at
the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to
adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and
to the same extent as such Grantor might have done;

	 	(1)	 	all amounts and proceeds
(including checks and other instruments) received by Grantor in
respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the
Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received for the
benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated
from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid
over or delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so
received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash
Collateral and applied as provided by Section 7.7 hereof; and
	 
	 	(2)	 	Grantor shall not adjust, settle
or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or
release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or
allow any credit or discount thereon.

     (b) If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver,
modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to the
Collateral Agent of any rights, title and interests in and to the Intellectual Property
shall have been previously made and shall have become absolute and effective, and (iv) the
Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the written
request of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to such
Grantor, at such Grantor’s sole cost and expense, such assignments or other transfer as may
be necessary to reassign to such Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have
been assigned to the Collateral Agent as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that
may have been made by the Collateral Agent; provided, after giving effect to such
reassignment, the Collateral Agent’s security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as
all other rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent granted hereunder, shall continue to
be in full force and effect; and provided further, the rights, title and interests so
reassigned shall be free and clear of any other Liens granted by or on behalf of the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties.

     (c) Solely for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and
remedies under this Section 7 and at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully
entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral
Agent, to the extent it has the right to do so, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license
(exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in
the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in

37

 

favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of said Trademarks, to use,
operate under, license, or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter
acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located.

     7.7 Cash Proceeds.

     Any proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other
non-cash items received by the Collateral Agent (i) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, shall be turned over to the Grantor and (ii) if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, may, in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, (A) be held by the
Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the
Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time thereafter may be
applied by the Collateral Agent against the Secured Obligations then due and owing.

SECTION 8

COLLATERAL AGENT

     The Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as the Collateral Agent hereunder by Lenders
and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent
shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to
exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action
(including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance
with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement; provided, the Collateral Agent shall, after
payment in full of all Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents,
exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for herein in accordance with the
instructions of the holders of a majority of the aggregate notional amount (or, with respect to any
Secured Hedge Agreement that has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the amount then due
and payable (exclusive of expenses and similar payments but including any early termination
payments then due) under such Secured Hedge Agreement) under all Secured Hedge Agreements. In
furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Secured Party, by its acceptance of
the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the
Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and
remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of Secured
Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section. The Collateral Agent may resign at any time
by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and the Grantors, and the
Collateral Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent
instruments in writing delivered to the Grantors and the Collateral Agent signed by the Requisite
Lenders holding more than 50% of the outstanding Commitments under the Credit Agreement. Upon any
such notice of resignation or any such removal, Requisite Lenders shall have the right, upon five
(5) Business Days’ notice to the Collateral Agent, following receipt of the Grantors’ consent
(which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which shall not be required while an Event
of Default exists), to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent,

38

 

that successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Collateral Agent under this
Agreement, and the retiring or removed Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall promptly (i)
transfer to such successor Collateral Agent all sums, Securities and other items of Collateral held
hereunder, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection
with the performance of the duties of the successor Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and (ii)
execute and deliver to such successor Collateral Agent or otherwise authorize the filing of such
amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate
in connection with the assignment to such successor Collateral Agent of the security interests
created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring or removed Collateral Agent’s
resignation or removal hereunder as the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement
while it was the Collateral Agent hereunder.

SECTION 9

CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF LOANS

     This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain
in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the cancellation or
termination of the Commitments and the cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Letters of
Credit, be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the
rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and
its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but
subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans
held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the
benefits in respect thereof granted to Lenders herein or otherwise. Upon the payment in full of
all Secured Obligations (other than unmatured indemnification obligations), the cancellation or
termination of the Commitments and the cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Letters of
Credit, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate hereunder and of record and all rights
to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors. Upon any such termination the Collateral Agent shall,
at Grantors’ expense, execute and deliver to Grantors such documents as Grantors shall reasonably
request to evidence such termination.

SECTION 10

STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM

     The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in
the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the
exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting
for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any
Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior

39

 

parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be
deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its
possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the
Collateral Agent accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors,
officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or
any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or
otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or otherwise. If any Grantor
fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause
performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection
therewith shall be payable by each Grantor under Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 11

MISCELLANEOUS

     Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance
with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Agent
in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall
impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence
therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude
other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and
remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are cumulative to, and not
exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision in or obligation
under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or
obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All
covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition
is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to,
or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of
a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. This Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and Grantors and their respective
successors and assigns. No Grantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Collateral
Agent given in accordance with the Credit Agreement, assign any right, duty or obligation
hereunder. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents embody the entire agreement and
understanding between Grantors and the Collateral Agent and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
Accordingly, the Credit Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or
subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the
parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an
original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument;
signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single
counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document.

40

 

     THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,
AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

41

 

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Grantor and the Collateral Agent have caused this Agreement to be
duly executed and delivered by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date
first written above.

     (b) Except as otherwise permitted hereunder, it has not entered into, and until the
termination of this agreement will not enter into, any agreement with the Pledgor or the

with Instructions as set forth in Section 2 hereof.

     (c) Except for the claims and interest of the Collateral Agent and of the Pledgor in
the Pledged Shares, the Issuer does not know of any claim to, or interest in, the Pledged

garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the
Pledged Shares, the Issuer will promptly notify the Collateral Agent and the Pledgor
thereof.

SECURITIES ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT

     This Securities Account Control Agreement (this “Control Agreement”), dated as of [          ],
by and among [          ] (the “Pledgor”), Wachovia Bank,
National Association, as Collateral Agent (the “Collateral Agent”) and [          ]
(the “Securities Intermediary”), is delivered pursuant to Section 4.7(b)(i) of that
certain pledge and security agreement (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Collateral Agreement”), dated as of March 16, 2006, made
by Easton-Bell Sports, Inc., and each of the Guarantors listed on the signature pages thereto in
favor of Wachovia Bank, National Association, as collateral agent, as pledgee, assignee and secured
party (the “Collateral Agent”). This Control Agreement is for the purpose of perfecting
the security interests of the Secured Parties granted by the Pledgor in the Designated Accounts
described below. All references herein to the “UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in
effect from time to time in the State of New York. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Collateral Agreement.

     Section 1. Confirmation of Establishment and Maintenance of Designated
Accounts. The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms and agrees that (i) the Securities
Intermediary has established for the Pledgor and maintains the account(s) listed in Schedule
I annexed hereto (such account(s), together with each such other securities account maintained
by the Pledgor with the Securities Intermediary collectively, the “Designated Accounts” and
each a “Designated Account”), (ii) each Designated Account will be maintained in the manner
set forth herein until termination of this Control Agreement, (iii) this Control Agreement is the
valid and legally binding obligation of the Securities Intermediary, (iv) the Securities
Intermediary is a “securities intermediary” as defined in Article 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC and (v)
each of the Designated Accounts is a “securities account” as such term is defined in Section
8-501(a) of the UCC.

     Section 2. “Financial Assets” Election. All parties hereto agree that each item of
Investment Property and all other property held in or credited to any Designated Account (the
“Account Property”) shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section
8-102(a)(9) of the UCC.

     Section 3. Entitlement Order. The Securities Intermediary shall comply with
instructions directing the Securities Intermediary with respect to the sale, exchange or transfer
of any Account Property held in each Designated Account originated by a Pledgor, or any
representative of, or investment manager appointed by, a Pledgor until such time as the Collateral
Agent delivers a Notice of Sole Control pursuant to Section 9(i) to the Securities
Intermediary. If after the delivery of a Notice of Sole Control, the Securities Intermediary shall
receive an “entitlement order” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) issued by the
Collateral Agent and relating to any financial asset maintained in one or more of the Designated
Accounts, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order

EXHIBIT C-1

 

 

without further consent by the Pledgor or any other person. After the delivery of a Notice of
Sole Control, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with, and is fully entitled to rely upon,
any entitlement order from the Collateral Agent, even if such entitlement order is contrary to any
entitlement order that the Pledgor may give or may have given to the Securities Intermediary.

     Section 4. Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. The Securities Intermediary
hereby agrees that any security interest in, lien on, encumbrance, claim or (except as provided in
the next sentence) right of setoff against, any Designated Account or any Account Property it now
has or subsequently obtains shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Collateral Agent
in the Designated Accounts and the Account Property therein or credited thereto. The Securities
Intermediary agrees not to exercise any present or future right of recoupment or set-off against
any of the Designated Accounts or to assert against any of the Designated Accounts any present or
future security interest, banker’s lien or any other lien or claim (including claim for penalties)
that the Securities Intermediary may at any time have against or in any of the Designated Accounts
or any Account Property therein or credited thereto; provided, however, that the
Securities Intermediary may set off all amounts due to the Securities Intermediary in respect of
its customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Designated
Accounts, including overdraft fees and amounts advanced to settle authorized transactions.

     Section 5. Choice of Law. Both this Control Agreement and the Designated Accounts
shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Regardless of any provision in any other
agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Securities Intermediary’s
jurisdiction and the Designated Accounts (as well as the security entitlements related thereto)
shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

     Section 6. Conflict with Other Agreements; Amendments. As of the date hereof, there
are no other agreements entered into between the Securities Intermediary and the Pledgor with
respect to any Designated Account or any security entitlements or other financial assets credited
thereto (other than standard and customary documentation with respect to the establishment and
maintenance of such Designated Accounts). The Securities Intermediary and the Pledgor will not
enter into any other agreement with respect to any Designated Account unless the Collateral Agent
shall have received prior written notice thereof, provided that until the Securities
Intermediary receives a Notice of Sole Control, the Pledgor may designate an investment manager or
other representative to provide Entitlement Orders on behalf of the Pledgor. The Securities
Intermediary and the Pledgor have not and will not enter into any other agreement with respect to
(i) creation or perfection of any security interest in or (ii) control of security entitlements
maintained in any of the Designated Accounts or purporting to limit or condition the obligation of
the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders with respect to any Account Property
held in or credited to any Designated Account as set forth in Section 3 hereof without the
prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, such consent not be unreasonably withheld. In the
event of any conflict with respect to control over any Designated Account between this Control
Agreement (or any portion hereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into,
the terms of this Control Agreement shall prevail. No

EXHIBIT C-2

 

 

amendment or modification of this Control Agreement or waiver of any rights hereunder shall be
binding on any party hereto unless it is in writing and is signed by all the parties hereto.

     Section 7. Certain Agreements.

          (i) As of the date hereof, the Securities Intermediary has furnished to the Collateral Agent
the most recent account statement issued by the Securities Intermediary with respect to each of the
Designated Accounts and the financial assets and cash balances held therein, identifying the
financial assets held therein in a manner acceptable to the Collateral Agent. Each such statement
accurately reflects the assets held in such Designated Account as of the date thereof.

          (ii) The Securities Intermediary will, upon its receipt of each supplement to the Collateral
Agreement signed by the Pledgor and identifying one or more financial assets as “Pledged
Collateral,” enter into its records, including computer records, with respect to each Designated
Account a notation with respect to any such financial asset so that such records and reports
generated with respect thereto identify such financial asset as “Pledged.”

     Section 8. Notice of Adverse Claims. Except for the claims and interest of the
Collateral Agent and of the Pledgor in the Account Property held in or credited to the Designated
Accounts, the Securities Intermediary on the date hereof does not know of any claim to, security
interest in, lien on, or encumbrance against, any Designated Account or Account Property held in or
credited thereto and does not know of any claim that any person or entity other than the Collateral
Agent has been given “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the UCC) of any Designated
Account or any such Account Property. If the Securities Intermediary becomes aware that any person
or entity is asserting any lien, encumbrance, security interest or adverse claim (including any
writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process or any claim of
control) against any of the Account Property held in or credited to any Designated Account, the
Securities Intermediary shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent and the Pledgor thereof.

     Section 9. Maintenance of Designated Accounts. In addition to the obligations of the
Securities Intermediary in Section 3 hereof, the Securities Intermediary agrees to maintain
the Designated Accounts as follows:

     (i) Notice of Sole Control. If at any time the Collateral Agent delivers to
the Securities Intermediary a notice instructing the Securities Intermediary to terminate
Pledgor’s access to any Designated Account (the “Notice of Sole Control”), the
Securities Intermediary agrees that, after receipt of such notice, it will take all
instructions with respect to such Designated Account solely from the Collateral Agent,
terminate all instructions and orders originated by the Pledgor with respect to the
Designated Accounts or any Account Property therein, and cease taking instructions from
Pledgor, including, without limitation, instructions for investment, distribution or
transfer of any financial asset maintained in any Designated Account. Permitting settlement
of

EXHIBIT C-3

 

 

trades pending at the time of receipt of such notice shall not constitute a violation of the
immediately preceding sentence.

     The Collateral Agent hereby covenants, for the benefit of the Pledgor, (i) that the
Collateral Agent will not deliver a Notice of Sole Control to the Securities Intermediary
except upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (as defined in
the Credit Agreement dated as of March 16, 2006, among Easton-Bell Sports, Inc., the
Collateral Agent and other parties thereto, as the same may be amended from time to time)
and (ii) that until it delivers a Notice of Sole Control, it will not exercise its right to
originate instructions to the Securities Intermediary. The forgoing covenant is for the
benefit of the Pledgor only and will not be deemed to constitute a limitation (x) on the
right, as between the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Agent, of the Collateral
Agent to deliver a Notice of Sole Control or (y) on the Securities Intermediary’s obligation
to comply with such notice and the Securities Intermediary shall be fully protected in so
complying.

     (ii) Voting Rights. Until such time as the Securities Intermediary receives a
Notice of Sole Control, the Pledgor, an investment manager or other representative on behalf
of the Pledgor, shall direct the Securities Intermediary with respect to the voting of any
financial assets credited to any Designated Account.

     (iii) Statements and Confirmations. The Securities Intermediary will send
copies of all statements and other correspondence (excluding routine confirmations)
concerning any Designated Account or any financial assets credited thereto to the Pledgor
and, after the delivery of a Notice of Sole Control, simultaneously to each of the Pledgor
and the Collateral Agent at the address set forth in Section 11 hereof. The
Securities Intermediary will provide to the Collateral Agent, upon the Collateral Agent’s
request therefor from time to time, a statement of the market value of each financial asset
maintained in each Designated Account. The Securities Intermediary shall not change the
name or account number of any Designated Account without the prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent.

     (iv) Perfection in Certificated Securities. The Securities Intermediary
acknowledges that, in the event that it should come into possession of any certificate
representing any security or other Account Property held in or credited to any of the
Designated Accounts, the Securities Intermediary shall retain possession of the same on
behalf and for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and such act shall cause the Securities
Intermediary to be deemed holding such certificate for the Collateral Agent, if necessary to
perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such securities or assets. The
Securities Intermediary hereby acknowledges its receipt of a copy of the Collateral
Agreement, which shall also serve as notice to the Securities Intermediary of a security
interest in collateral held on behalf and for the benefit of the Collateral Agent.

EXHIBIT C-4

 

 

     Section 10. Successors; Assignment. The terms of this Control Agreement shall be
binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective corporate
successors and permitted assignees.

     Section 11. Notices. Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted

TO PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

DEPOSIT ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT

     AGREEMENT dated as of [          ], by and among                     
(“Company”), WACHOVIA BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Lender”) and
                                        (“Depositary”).

     The parties hereto refer to Account No.                     in the name of Company maintained at
Depositary (the “Account”) and hereby agree as follows:

     1. Company and Lender notify Depositary that by separate agreement Company has granted Lender
a security interest in the Account and all funds on deposit from time to time therein. Depositary
acknowledges being so notified.

     2. Prior to the Effective Time (as defined below) Depositary shall honor all withdrawal,
payment, transfer or other fund disposition or other instructions (collectively,
“instructions”) received from the Company, its designated employees and agents (but not
those from Lender) concerning the Account. The Depositary has not entered into any agreement with
any third party regarding the Deposit Account or, except as otherwise permitted hereunder, agreed
that it will comply with any orders concerning the Deposit Account originated by any such third
party; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, until Depository receives a Shifting
Control Notice, Company may designate employees and agents to provide instructions on behalf of the
Company.

     On and after the Effective Time (and without Company’s consent), Depositary shall comply with
all instructions received from Lender (but not those from Company) concerning the Account,
including instructions directing disposition of funds in the Account, without further consent by
Company, and Company shall have no right or ability to access or withdraw or transfer funds from
the Account.

     For the purposes hereof, the “Effective Time” shall be the opening of business on the second
business day next succeeding the business day on which a notice purporting to be signed by Lender
in substantially the same form as Exhibit A, attached hereto, with a copy of this Agreement
attached thereto (a “Shifting Control Notice”), is actually received by the individual
employee of Depositary to whom the notice is required hereunder to be addressed; provided, however,
that if any such notice is so received after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any business day,
the “Effective Time” shall be the opening of business on the third business day next
succeeding the business day on which such receipt occurs. For purposes of this Agreement, a
“business day” is any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which Depositary is or is
authorized or required by law to be closed.

     Lender hereby covenants, for the benefit of the Company, (i) that Lender will not deliver a
Shifting Control Notice to Depositary except upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement dated as of March 16, 2006, among

EXHIBIT D-1

 

 

Easton-Bell
Sports, Inc., Lender and other parties thereto, as the same may be amended from time to time) and
(ii) that until it delivers a Shifting Control Notice, it will not exercise its right to originate
instructions to Depositary. The forgoing covenant is for the benefit of the Company only and will
not be deemed to constitute a limitation (x) on the right, as between Depositary and Lender, of
Lender to deliver a Shifting Control Notice or (y) on Depositary’s obligation to comply with such
notice and Depositary shall be fully protected in so complying.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) all transactions involving or resulting in a transaction
involving the Account duly commenced by Depositary prior to the Effective Time and so consummated
or processed thereafter shall be deemed not to constitute a violation of this Agreement; and (ii)
Depositary may (at its discretion and without any obligation to do so) commence honoring solely
Lender’s instructions concerning the Account at any time or from time to time after it becomes
aware that Lender has sent to it a Shifting Control Notice but prior to the Effective Time therefor
(including without limitation halting, reversing or redirecting any transaction referred to in
clause (i) above) with no liability whatsoever to Company or any other party for doing so.

     3. This Agreement supplements, rather than replaces, Depositary’s deposit account agreement,
terms and conditions and other standard documentation in effect from time to time with respect to
the Account or services provided in connection with the Account (the “Account
Documentation”), which Account Documentation will continue to apply to the Account and such
services, and the respective rights, powers, duties, obligations, liabilities and responsibilities
of the parties thereto and hereto, to the extent not expressly conflicting with the provisions of
this Agreement (however, in the event of any such conflict, the provisions of this Agreement shall
control). Each of Company and the Depositary further agrees that it will not enter into any
agreement with any third party other than the Lender that provides or has the effect of allowing or
requiring the Depositary to comply with instructions originating by such third party regarding the
Account.

     4. Depositary agrees not to exercise or claim any right of offset, banker’s lien or other like
right against the Account for so long as this Agreement is in effect except with respect to (i)
returned or charged-back items, (ii) reversals or cancellations of payment orders and other
electronic fund transfers, (iii) Depositary’s charges, fees and expenses with respect to the
Account or the services provided hereunder or (iv) overdrafts in the Account.

     5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: (i) Depositary shall have only
the duties and responsibilities with respect to the matters set forth herein as is expressly set
forth in writing herein and shall not be deemed to be an agent, bailee or fiduciary for any party
hereto; (ii) Depositary shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting in good faith
without investigation on any notice (including without limitation a Shifting Control Notice),
instruction or request purportedly furnished to it by Company or Lender in accordance with the
terms hereof, in which case the parties hereto agree that Depositary has no duty to make any
further inquiry whatsoever; (iii) it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that Depositary has no
knowledge of (and is not required to know) the terms and provisions of the separate agreement
referred to in paragraph 1 above or any other related documentation or whether any actions by
Lender (including without limitation the sending of a Shifting Control Notice), Company or any
other person or entity are permitted or a breach thereunder or consistent or inconsistent

EXHIBIT D-2

 

 

therewith, (iv) Depositary shall not be liable to any party hereto or any other person for any
action or failure to act under or in connection with this Agreement except to the extent such
conduct constitutes a breach of this Agreement, its own willful misconduct or negligence (and to
the maximum extent permitted by law, shall under no circumstances be liable for any incidental,
indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages); and (v) Depositary shall not be liable for
losses or delays caused by force majeure, interruption or malfunction of computer,
transmission or communications facilities, labor difficulties, court order or decree, the
commencement of bankruptcy or other similar proceedings or other matters beyond Depositary’s
reasonable control.

     6. Company hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless Depositary against any loss,
liability or expense (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel who may be an employee
of Depositary) (collectively, “Covered Items”) incurred in connection with this Agreement
or the Account (except to the extent due to Depositary’s breach of this Agreement, willful
misconduct or negligence) or any interpleader proceeding relating thereto or incurred at Company’s
direction or instruction. Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless Depositary
against any Covered Items incurred (i) on or after the Effective Time in connection with this
Agreement or the Account (except to the extent due to Depositary’s breach of this Agreement,
willful misconduct or negligence) or any interpleader proceeding related thereto, (ii) at Lender’s
direction or instruction (including without limitation Depositary’s honoring of a Shifting Control
Notice) or (iii) due to any claim by Lender of an interest in the Account or the funds on deposit
therein.

     7. Depositary may terminate this Agreement in its discretion upon the sending of at least
thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to the other parties hereto. Any other termination or any
amendment or waiver of this Agreement shall be effected solely by an instrument in writing executed
by all the parties hereto. The provisions of paragraphs 5 and 6 above shall survive any such
termination.

     8. Company shall compensate Depositary for the opening and administration of the Account and
services provided hereunder in accordance with Depositary’s fee schedules from time to time in
effect. Payment will be effected by a direct debit to the Account.

     9. This Agreement: (i) may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an
original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same
instrument; (ii) shall become effective when counterparts hereof have been signed and delivered by
the parties hereto; and (iii) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York. For purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code, the State of New York shall be
deemed to be the Depositary’s jurisdiction and the Account shall be governed by the laws of the
State of New York. All parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury in any action or
proceeding relating to the Account or this Agreement. All notices under this Agreement shall be in
writing and sent (including via facsimile transmission) to the parties hereto at their respective
addresses or fax numbers set forth below (or to such other address or fax number as any such party
shall designate in writing to the other parties from time to time).

within the definitions of any Intellectual Property acquired under such
contracts, provided that this shall not apply to standard form contracts
entered into in the ordinary course of business;
	 
	 	(xi)	 	it shall use proper statutory notice in connection with
its use of any Patent, except where the failure to do so would not have a
Material Adverse Effect; and
	 
	 	(xii)	 	unless otherwise determined in the exercise of business
judgment, it shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due
or to become due to such Grantor in respect of the material Intellectual
Property or any portion thereof. Following the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, in connection with such collections,
each Grantor may take (and, at the Canadian Agent’s reasonable direction,
shall take) such action as such Grantor or the Canadian Agent may deem
reasonably necessary to enforce collection of such amounts. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Canadian Agent shall have the right at any time following
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to notify,
or require any Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to any such
amounts of the existence of the security interest created hereby.

SECTION 5

FURTHER ASSURANCES; ADDITIONAL GRANTORS

5.1 Further Assurances

	 	(a)	 	Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Grantor,
that it shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and
take all further action, that the Canadian Agent may reasonably request, in order to
create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security
interest granted hereby or to enable the Canadian Agent to exercise and

 

 

- 26 -

enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor shall:

	 	(i)	 	file such financing or continuation statements, or
amendments thereto, and execute and deliver such other agreements,
instruments, endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, as the Canadian
Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the security
interests granted or purported to be granted hereby; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	take all actions necessary to ensure the recordation of
appropriate evidence of the liens and security interest granted hereunder in
the Intellectual Property with any intellectual property registry in which
said Intellectual Property is registered or in which an application for
registration is pending including, without limitation, the Canadian
Intellectual Property Office.

	 	(b)	 	Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Canadian Agent to file a Record or Records,
including, without limitation, financing or continuation statements, and amendments
thereto, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Canadian Agent may
determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary to perfect the security interest
granted to the Canadian Agent herein. Such financing statements may describe the
Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or
description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the
Canadian Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, to ensure the
perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Canadian Agent
herein, including, without limitation, describing such property as “all assets” or “all
personal property”, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Canadian Agent to modify this Agreement
after obtaining such Grantor’s approval of or signature to such modification by
amending Schedule 4.10 to include reference to any right, title or interest in any
existing Intellectual Property or any Intellectual Property acquired or developed by
any Grantor after the execution hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title
or interest in any Intellectual Property in which any Grantor no longer has or claims
any right, title or interest.

5.2 Additional Grantors

     From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Persons may become parties hereto
as additional Grantors (each, an “Additional Grantor”), by executing a Counterpart Agreement. Upon
delivery of any such Counterpart Agreement to the Canadian Agent, notice of which is hereby waived
by Grantors, each Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if
Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its
obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any
other Grantor hereunder, nor by any election of the Canadian Agent not to cause any Subsidiary of
Company to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to
any Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or
fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.

CANADIAN AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT

name of such Grantor, the Canadian Agent or otherwise, from time to time, to take any of the

	 	(e)	 	to prepare and file any PPSA financing statements and any amendments thereto
against such Grantor as debtor;
	 
	 	(f)	 	to prepare, sign, and file for recordation in any intellectual property
registry, appropriate evidence of the lien and security interest granted herein in the
Intellectual Property in the name of such Grantor as debtor;
	 
	 	(g)	 	upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take
or cause to be taken all actions necessary to perform or comply or cause performance or

necessary to discharge the same to be determined by the Canadian Agent in its sole
discretion, any such payments made by the Canadian Agent to become obligations of such
Grantor to the Canadian Agent, due and payable immediately without demand; and
	 
	 	(h)	 	upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
generally to sell, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, make any agreement with respect to or

 

 

- 28 -

otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the
Canadian Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the
Canadian Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time or from time to
time, all acts and things that the Canadian Agent deems reasonably necessary to
protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Canadian Agent’s security
interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and
effectively as such Grantor might do.

			
	6.2	 	No Duty on the Part of Canadian Agent or Secured Parties

     The powers conferred on the Canadian Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests of
the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Canadian Agent or any
Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Canadian Agent and the Secured Parties shall be
accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers,
and neither they nor any of 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.

SECTION 7

REMEDIES

			
	7.1	 	Generally

	 	(a)	 	If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Canadian
Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and
remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the
rights and remedies of the Canadian Agent on default under the PPSA to collect, enforce
or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise,
and also may to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law pursue any of the
following separately, successively or simultaneously:

	 	(i)	 	require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees
that it shall at its expense and promptly upon request of the Canadian Agent
forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the
Canadian Agent and make it available to the Canadian Agent at a place to be
designated by the Canadian Agent that is reasonably convenient to both
parties;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	enter onto the property owned or leased by any Grantor
where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without
judicial process;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store the
Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner
to the extent the Canadian Agent deems appropriate; and
	 
	 	(iv)	 	without notice except as specified below or under the
PPSA, sell, assign, lease, license, sub-license (on an exclusive or
nonexclusive basis) or

 

 

- 29 -

otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more
parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Canadian Agent’s offices or
elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times
and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Canadian Agent
may deem commercially reasonable.

	 	(b)	 	The Canadian Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of
the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to the portion of the Collateral
being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or
the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with
the PPSA and the Canadian Agent, as Canadian Agent for and representative of the
Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or
payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such
sale made in accordance with the PPSA, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations
as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Canadian
Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale 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 applicable law) all rights of redemption,
stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any
rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to
the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to
such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any
private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Canadian
Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of
sale having been given. The Canadian Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from
time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may,
without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Canadian
Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet, intranet
or extranet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the
Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and
sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law) any claims against the Canadian Agent arising by reason of the fact
that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was
less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the
Canadian Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to
more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the
Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be
liable for the deficiency and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the
Canadian Agent to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach
of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the
Canadian Agent, that the Canadian Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of
such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this
Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby
waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) and agrees not to assert any

 

 

- 30-

defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a
defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming
due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in
any way alter the rights of the Canadian Agent hereunder.

	 	(c)	 	The Canadian Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to
the Collateral. The Canadian Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties
of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the
commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
	 
	 	(d)	 	The Canadian Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.
	 
	 	(e)	 	The Canadian Agent may appoint or reappoint by instrument in writing, any
Person or Persons, whether an officer, employee, agent or other representative of the
Canadian Agent or not, to be a receiver or receivers (hereinafter called a “Receiver”,
which term when used herein shall include a receiver and/or manager and any permutation
thereof) of any Collateral of any Grantor (including any interest, income, profits or
Proceeds therefrom) and may remove any Receiver so appointed and appoint another in
his/her/their stead. Any such Receiver shall, so far as concerns responsibility for
his/her/their acts, be deemed the agent of any Grantor and not the Canadian Agent, and
Canadian Agent shall not be in any way responsible for any misconduct, negligence or
non-feasance on the part of any such Receiver, his/her/their servants, agents,
employees or other representatives. Subject to the provisions of the instrument
appointing such Receiver, any such Receiver shall have the power to take possession of
the Collateral, to preserve the Collateral or its value, to carry on or concur in
carrying on all or any part of the business of any Grantor and to sell, lease, licence,
sub-licence or otherwise dispose of or concur in selling, leasing, licensing,
sub-licensing or otherwise disposing of the Collateral. To facilitate the foregoing
powers, any such Receiver may, to the exclusion of all others, including such Grantor,
enter upon, use and occupy all premises owned or occupied by such Grantor wherein the
Collateral may be situate, maintain Collateral upon such premises, borrow money on a
secured or unsecured basis and use the Collateral directly in carrying on such
Grantor’s business or as security for loans or advances to enable the Receiver to carry
on such Grantor’s business or otherwise, as such Receiver shall, in its discretion,
determine. Except as may be otherwise directed by any Grantor, all money received from
time to time by such Receiver in carrying out his/her/their appointment shall be
received in trust for and paid over to the Canadian Agent. Every such Receiver may, in
the discretion of the Canadian Agent, be vested with all or any of the rights and
powers of the Canadian Agent. The Canadian Agent, may, either directly or through its
agents or nominees, exercise any or all powers and rights given to a Receiver by virtue
of the foregoing provisions of this Section.

			
	7.2	 	Application of Proceeds

     All proceeds received by the Canadian Agent in respect of any sale, any collection from, or
other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in full or in part by the

 

 

- 31 -

Canadian Agent against, the Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit
Agreement.

			
	7.3	 	Sales on Credit

     If the Canadian Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only
with payments actually made by purchaser and received by the Canadian Agent and applied to
indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the
Canadian Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.

			
	7.4	 	Investment Related Property

     Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in applicable
securities laws, the Canadian Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part
of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration or qualification of such
Investment Related Property under such securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will
agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own account, for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges
that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable
through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a
registration statement under applicable securities laws) and, notwithstanding such circumstances,
each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially
reasonable manner and that the Canadian Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales
and no obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period of time
necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring
registration under applicable securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so
register it. If the Canadian Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the
Investment Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer
of any Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from
time to time to furnish to the Canadian Agent all such information as the Canadian Agent may
request in order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments
included in the Investment Related Property which may be sold by the Canadian Agent in exempt
transactions under applicable securities laws.

			
	7.5	 	Intellectual Property

	 	(a)	 	Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence
and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

	 	(i)	 	the Canadian Agent shall have the right (but not the
obligation) to bring suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in
the name of any Grantor, the Canadian Agent or otherwise, in the Canadian
Agent’s sole discretion, to enforce any Intellectual Property, in which
event such Grantor shall, at the request of the Canadian Agent, do any and
all lawful acts and execute any and all documents required by the Canadian
Agent in aid of such enforcement and such Grantor shall promptly, upon
demand, reimburse and indemnify the Canadian Agent as provided in the Credit
Agreement hereof in connection with the exercise of its rights under this

 

 

- 32 -

Section, and, to the extent that the Canadian Agent shall elect not to bring
suit to enforce any Intellectual Property as provided in this Section, each
Grantor agrees to use all reasonable measures, whether by action, suit,
proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement or other violation of
any of such Grantor’s rights in the Intellectual Property that is material
to the business by others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain
any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing as shall be
necessary to prevent such infringement or violation; and

	 	(ii)	 	the Canadian Agent shall have the right to notify, or
require each Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or
to become due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property, of
the existence of the security interest created herein, to direct such
obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the Canadian Agent,
and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce
collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the
amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such
Grantor might have done;

	 	(1)	 	all amounts and proceeds (including checks and
other instruments) received by Grantor in respect of amounts due to
such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall
be received for the benefit of the Canadian Agent hereunder, shall be
segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid
over or delivered to the Canadian Agent in the same form as so received
(with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and
applied as provided by Section 7.6 hereof; and
	 
	 	(2)	 	Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise
the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly
any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount
thereon.

	 	(b)	 	If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver,
modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to
the Canadian Agent of any rights, title and interests in and to the Intellectual
Property shall have been previously made and shall have become absolute and effective,
and (iv) the Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable,
upon the written request of any Grantor, the Canadian Agent shall promptly execute and
deliver to such Grantor, at such Grantor’s sole cost and expense, such assignments or
other transfer as may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor any such rights, title
and interests as may have been assigned to the Canadian Agent as aforesaid, subject to
any disposition thereof that may have been made by the Canadian Agent; provided, after
giving effect to such reassignment, the Canadian Agent’s security interest granted
pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies of the Canadian Agent granted
hereunder, shall continue to be in full force and effect; and provided

 

 

- 33 -

further, the rights, title and interests so reassigned shall be free and clear of
any other Liens granted by or on behalf of the Canadian Agent and the Secured
Parties.

	 	(c)	 	Solely for the purpose of enabling the Canadian Agent to exercise rights and
remedies under this Section 7 and at such time as the Canadian Agent shall be lawfully
entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the
Canadian Agent, to the extent it has the right to do so, an irrevocable, nonexclusive
license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor),
subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and
inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of said
Trademarks, to use, operate under, license, or sublicense any Intellectual Property
now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located.

			
	7.6	 	Cash Proceeds

     Any proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other
non-cash items received by the Canadian Agent (i) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, shall be turned over to the Grantor and (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, may, in the sole discretion of the Canadian Agent, (A) be held by the Canadian
Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured
Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time thereafter may be applied
by the Canadian Agent against the Secured Obligations then due and owing.

SECTION 8

CANADIAN AGENT

     The Canadian Agent has been appointed to act as the Canadian Agent hereunder by the Canadian
Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Canadian Secured Parties. The
Canadian Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give
notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any
action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in
accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing
provisions of this Section, each Canadian Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof,
agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it
being understood and agreed by such Canadian Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder
may be exercised solely by the Canadian Agent for the benefit of Canadian Secured Parties in
accordance with the terms of this Section. The Canadian Agent may resign at any time by giving
thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to Canadian Lenders and the Grantors, and the
Canadian Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent
instruments in writing delivered to the Grantors and the Canadian Agent signed by the Requisite
Lenders holding more than 50% of the outstanding Commitments under the Credit Agreement. Upon any
such notice of resignation or any such removal, Requisite Lenders shall have the right, upon five
(5) Business Days’ notice to the Canadian Agent, following receipt of the Grantors’ consent (which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or

 

 

- 34 -

delayed and which shall not be required while an Event of Default exists), to appoint a
successor Canadian Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Canadian Agent hereunder by a
successor Canadian Agent, that successor Canadian Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Canadian Agent
under this Agreement, and the retiring or removed Canadian Agent under this Agreement shall
promptly (i) transfer to such successor Canadian Agent all sums, Securities and other items of
Collateral held hereunder, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate
in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Canadian Agent under this
Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Canadian Agent or otherwise authorize the
filing of such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary
or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Canadian Agent of the security
interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Canadian Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring or removed Canadian
Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Canadian Agent, the provisions of this Agreement
shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this
Agreement while it was the Canadian Agent hereunder.

SECTION 9

CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF LOANS

     This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain
in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the cancellation or
termination of the Commitments and the cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Letters of
Credit, be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the
rights and remedies of the Canadian Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Canadian Agent and its
successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject
to the terms of the Credit Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held by
it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits
in respect thereof granted to Lenders herein or otherwise. Upon the payment in full of all Secured
Obligations (other than unmatured indemnification obligations), the cancellation or termination of
the Commitments and the cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit, the
security interest granted hereby shall terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the
Collateral shall revert to Grantors. Upon any such termination the Canadian Agent shall, at
Grantors’ expense, execute and deliver to Grantors such documents as Grantors shall reasonably
request to evidence such termination.

SECTION 10

STANDARD OF CARE; CANADIAN AGENT MAY PERFORM

     The powers conferred on the Canadian Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the
exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting
for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Canadian Agent shall have no duty as to any
Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or
any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Canadian Agent shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if

 

 

- 35 -

such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Canadian Agent
accords its own property. Neither the Canadian Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees
or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the
Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise
dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or otherwise. If any Grantor fails to
perform any agreement contained herein, the Canadian Agent may itself perform, or cause performance
of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Canadian Agent incurred in connection therewith shall
be payable by each Grantor under Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 11

MISCELLANEOUS

     Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance
with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of the Canadian Agent
in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall
impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence
therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude
other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and
remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are cumulative to, and not
exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision in or obligation
under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or
obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All
covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition
is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to,
or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of
a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. This Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Canadian Agent and Grantors and their respective
successors and assigns. No Grantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Canadian Agent
given in accordance with the Credit Agreement, assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder.
This Agreement and the other Credit Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between
Grantors and the Canadian Agent and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Credit Documents may
not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the
parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. This Agreement may be
executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each
of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts
together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from
multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are
physically attached to the same document.

     The parties hereto declare that they require that this Agreement and any related documents be
drawn up and executed in English only; les parties soussignées déclarent qu’elles exigent que cet
acte et tous les documents s’y rattachant soient rédigés en anglais seulement.

 

 

- 36 -

     THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,
AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO AND THE
FEDERAL LAWS OF CANADA APPLICABLE THEREIN, PROVIDED THAT THE PLEDGE AND HYPOTHECATION GRANTED UNDER
SECTION 2.1 ABOVE AND PERFECTION UNDER SECTION 2.4 ABOVE SHALL ONLY BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC IN ORDER TO CREATE A VALID LIEN, PLEDGE AND
HYPOTHEC WITH RESPECT TO INVESTMENT RELATED PROPERTY UNDER THE CIVIL CODE OF QUEBEC.
