payments with respect to the Pledged Collateral or grant a Lien in the Pledged
Collateral, unless otherwise expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement;

 

(b)   Pledgor
will, at its expense, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver all such
instruments and take all such actions as Agent from time to time may reasonably
request in order to ensure to Agent and Lenders the benefits of the Liens in
and to the Pledged Collateral intended to be created by this Agreement,
including the filing of any necessary Code financing statements, which may be
filed by Agent with or (to the extent permitted by law) without the signature

(c)   Pledgor has
and will defend the title to the Pledged Collateral and the Liens of Agent in

(d)   Pledgor

instruments of a Pledged Entity or Stock or promissory notes or instruments
otherwise required to be pledged to Agent pursuant to any of the Loan
Documents, which Stock, notes or instruments are not already Pledged
Collateral, promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days)
deliver to Agent a Pledge Amendment, duly executed by Pledgor, in substantially
the form of Schedule II hereto (a “Pledge Amendment”) in respect
of any such additional Stock, notes or instruments, pursuant to which Pledgor
shall pledge to Agent all of 

 

4

 

such additional Stock, notes and instruments.  Pledgor hereby authorizes Agent to attach
each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement and agrees that all Pledged Shares and
Pledged Indebtedness listed on any Pledge Amendment delivered to Agent shall
for all purposes hereunder be considered Pledged Collateral.

 

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

 

(a)   Pledgor shall
have the right, from time to time, to vote and give consents with respect to
the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof for all purposes not inconsistent
with the provisions of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, and no
consent shall be given or action taken, which would have the effect of
impairing the position or interest of Agent in respect of the Pledged
Collateral or which would authorize, effect or consent to (unless and to the
extent expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement):

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(iv)          any change in the authorized number of
shares, the stated capital or the authorized share capital of a Pledged Entity
or the issuance of any additional shares of its Stock; or

 

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

 

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

 

(ii)           all dividends and
interest (other than such cash dividends and interest as are permitted to be
paid to Pledgor in accordance with clause  (i) above) and all
other distributions in respect of any of the Pledged Shares or Pledged
Indebtedness, whenever paid or made, shall be delivered to Agent to hold as
Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by Pledgor, 

 

5

 

be received in
trust for the benefit of Agent, be segregated from the other property or funds
of Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to Agent as Pledged Collateral in the
same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

 

8.             Defaults and Remedies; Proxy.

 

(a)   Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation of such Event of
Default, and concurrently with written notice to Pledgor, Agent (personally or
through an agent) is hereby authorized and empowered to transfer and register
in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged
Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing
Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger
denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with
respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal
and other distributions made thereon, to sell in one or more sales after ten (10) days’
notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time at which a
private sale is to take place (which notice Pledgor agrees is commercially
reasonable) the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to otherwise
act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though Agent was the outright
owner thereof.  Any sale shall be made at
a public or private sale at Agent’s place of business, or at any place to be
named in the notice of sale, either for cash or upon credit or for future
delivery at such price as Agent may deem fair, and Agent may be the purchaser
of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral so sold and hold the same
thereafter in its own right free from any claim of Pledgor or any right of
redemption.  Each sale shall be made to
the highest bidder, but Agent reserves the right to reject any and all bids at
such sale which, in its discretion, it shall deem inadequate.  Demands of performance, except as otherwise
herein specifically provided for, notices of sale, advertisements and the
presence of property at sale are hereby waived and any sale hereunder may be
conducted by an auctioneer or any officer or agent of Agent.  PLEDGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND
APPOINTS AGENT AS THE PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT OF PLEDGOR WITH RESPECT TO THE
PLEDGED COLLATERAL, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE THE PLEDGED SHARES, WITH FULL
POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO.  THE
APPOINTMENT OF AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST
AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE TERMINATION DATE.  IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE THE PLEDGED
SHARES, THE APPOINTMENT OF AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE
THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO
WHICH A HOLDER OF THE PLEDGED SHARES WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR
WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF
SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS). SUCH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE,
AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER
OF ANY PLEDGED SHARES ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON
(INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF THE PLEDGED SHARES OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF),
UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. 
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, AGENT SHALL NOT HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXERCISE
ANY SUCH RIGHT OR TO PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE
TO DO SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING SO.

 

6

 

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

 

(c)   If, at any
time when Agent in its sole discretion determines, following the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, that, in connection with any
actual or contemplated exercise of its rights (when permitted under this Section 8)
to sell the whole or any part of the Pledged Shares hereunder, it is necessary
or advisable to effect a public registration of all or part of the Pledged
Collateral pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or any similar
statute then in effect) (the “Act”), Pledgor shall, in an expeditious
manner, cause the Pledged Entities to:

 

(i)            Use
commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement with
respect to the Pledged Shares and in good faith use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective;

 

(ii)           Use
commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Commission such
amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus
used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement
effective and to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect to the sale
or other disposition of the Pledged Shares covered by such registration
statement whenever Agent shall desire to sell or otherwise dispose of the
Pledged Shares;

 

(iii)          Use
commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to Agent such numbers of copies of a
prospectus and a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of
the Act, and such other documents as Agent may request in order to facilitate
the public sale or other disposition of the Pledged Shares by Agent;

 

(iv)          Use
commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Pledged Shares
covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky
laws of such jurisdictions within the United States and Puerto Rico as Agent
shall request, and do such other reasonable acts and things as may be required
of it to enable Agent to consummate the public sale or other disposition in
such jurisdictions of the Pledged Shares by Agent;

 

(v)           Furnish,
at the request of Agent, on the date that shares of the Pledged Collateral are
delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration or, if the
security is not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the
registration statement with respect to such Pledged Shares becomes effective, (A) an
opinion, dated such date, of the independent counsel representing such
registrant for the purposes of such registration, addressed 

 

7

 

to the underwriters, if any, and in the event the Pledged Shares are
not being sold through underwriters, then to Agent, in customary form and
covering matters of the type customarily covered in such legal opinions; and (B) a
comfort letter, dated such date, from the independent certified public
accountants of such registrant, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and in
the event the Pledged Shares are not being sold through underwriters, then to
Agent, in a customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered
by such comfort letters and as the underwriters or Agent shall reasonably
request.  The opinion of counsel referred
to above shall additionally cover such other legal matters with respect to the
registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as Agent may
reasonably request.  The letter referred
to above from the independent certified public accountants shall additionally
cover such other financial matters (including information as to the period
ending not more than five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such
letter) with respect to the registration in respect of which such letter is
being given as Agent may reasonably request; and

 

(vi)          Otherwise
use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission, and make available to its security holders, as
soon as reasonably practicable but not later than 18 months after the effective
date of the registration statement, an earnings statement covering the period
of at least 12 months beginning with the first full month after the effective
date of such registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act.

 

(d)   All
expenses incurred in complying with Section 8(c) hereof,
including, without limitation, all filing fees (including all expenses incident
to filing with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.),
printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the registrant, the
fees and expenses of counsel for Agent, expenses of the independent certified
public accountants (including any special audits incident to or required by any
such registration) and expenses of complying with the securities or blue sky
laws or any jurisdictions, shall be paid by Pledgor.

 

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

 

8

 

effected but, in its discretion (subject only to applicable
requirements of law), may require that any sale hereunder (including a sale at
auction) be conducted subject to restrictions:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(f)    Pledgor
recognizes that Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the
Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales
thereof in accordance with clause (e) above.  Pledgor also acknowledges that any such
private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller
than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances,
agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a
commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being
private.  Agent shall be under no
obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of
time necessary to permit the Pledged Entity to register such securities for
public sale under the Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if
Pledgor and the Pledged Entity would agree to do so.

 

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

 

(h)   Pledgor
further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 8
will cause irreparable injury to Agent, that Agent shall have no adequate
remedy at law in 

 

9

 

respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and
every covenant contained in this Section 8 shall be specifically
enforceable against Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert
any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants
except for a defense that the Secured Obligations are not then due and payable
in accordance with the agreements and instruments governing and evidencing such
obligations.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(d)   the
insolvency of any Credit Party; or

 

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

 

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

 

10

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

15.           Miscellaneous.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(d)   THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE BINDING UPON PLEDGOR AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS
(INCLUDING A DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION ON BEHALF 

 

11

 

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

 

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

 

17.           Notices.  Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever
it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval,
declaration or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any
of the parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties desires to

thereto, except for any Lien created by this Agreement and any Liens permitted
under the Credit Agreement;  Pledgor is

and set over the Pledged Collateral pledged by Pledgor to Agent  as provided herein;

prior written consent of Agent, Pledgor will not sell, assign, transfer,

Collateral, or any unpaid dividends, interest or other distributions or
payments with respect to the Pledged Collateral or grant a Lien in the Pledged
Collateral, unless otherwise expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement;

 

(b)   Pledgor
will, at its expense, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver all such
instruments and take all such actions as Agent from time to time may reasonably
request in order to ensure to Agent and Lenders the benefits of the Liens in
and to the Pledged Collateral intended to be created by this Agreement,
including the filing of any necessary Code financing statements, which may be
filed by Agent with or (to the extent permitted by law) without the signature

all necessary approvals and making all necessary filings under federal, state,
local or foreign law in connection with such Liens or any sale or transfer of
the Pledged Collateral;

 

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

 

(d)   Pledgor
will, upon obtaining ownership of any additional Stock or promissory notes or
instruments of a Pledged Entity or Stock or promissory notes or instruments
otherwise required to be pledged to Agent pursuant to any of the Loan
Documents, which Stock, notes or 

 

4

 

instruments are not already Pledged Collateral, promptly (and in any
event within three (3) Business Days) deliver to Agent a Pledge Amendment,
duly executed by Pledgor, in substantially the form of Schedule II
hereto (a “Pledge Amendment”) in respect of any such additional Stock,
notes or instruments, pursuant to which Pledgor shall pledge to Agent all of
such additional Stock, notes and instruments. 
Pledgor hereby authorizes Agent to attach each Pledge Amendment to this
Agreement and agrees that all Pledged Shares and Pledged Indebtedness listed on
any Pledge Amendment delivered to Agent shall for all purposes hereunder be
considered Pledged Collateral.

 

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

 

(a)   Pledgor
shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and give consents with respect
to the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof for all purposes not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any
other Loan Document; provided, however, that no vote shall be
cast, and no consent shall be given or action taken, which would have the
effect of impairing the position or interest of Agent in respect of the Pledged
Collateral or which would authorize, effect or consent to (unless and to the
extent expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement):

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(iv)          any change in the authorized number of
shares, the stated capital or the authorized share capital of a Pledged Entity
or the issuance of any additional shares of its Stock; or

 

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

 

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

 

5

 

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

 

8.             Defaults and Remedies; Proxy.

 

(a)   Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation of such Event of
Default, and concurrently with written notice to Pledgor, Agent (personally or
through an agent) is hereby authorized and empowered to transfer and register
in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged
Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing
Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger
denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with
respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal
and other distributions made thereon, to sell in one or more sales after ten (10) days’
notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time at which a
private sale is to take place (which notice Pledgor agrees is commercially
reasonable) the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to otherwise
act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though Agent was the outright
owner thereof.  Any sale shall be made at
a public or private sale at Agent’s place of business, or at any place to be
named in the notice of sale, either for cash or upon credit or for future delivery
at such price as Agent may deem fair, and Agent may be the purchaser of the
whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral so sold and hold the same
thereafter in its own right free from any claim of Pledgor or any right of
redemption.  Each sale shall be made to
the highest bidder, but Agent reserves the right to reject any and all bids at
such sale which, in its discretion, it shall deem inadequate.  Demands of performance, except as otherwise
herein specifically provided for, notices of sale, advertisements and the
presence of property at sale are hereby waived and any sale hereunder may be
conducted by an auctioneer or any officer or agent of Agent.  PLEDGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND
APPOINTS AGENT AS THE PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT OF PLEDGOR WITH RESPECT TO THE
PLEDGED COLLATERAL, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE THE PLEDGED SHARES, WITH FULL
POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO.  THE
APPOINTMENT OF AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST
AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE TERMINATION DATE.  IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE THE PLEDGED
SHARES, THE APPOINTMENT OF AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE
THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH
A HOLDER OF THE PLEDGED SHARES WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR
WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF
SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS). SUCH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE,
AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER
OF ANY PLEDGED SHARES ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON
(INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF THE PLEDGED SHARES OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF),
UPON THE 

 

6

 

OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, AGENT SHALL NOT
HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXERCISE ANY SUCH RIGHT OR TO PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT
BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO DO SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING SO.

 

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

 

(c)   If, at any
time when Agent in its sole discretion determines, following the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, that, in connection with any
actual or contemplated exercise of its rights (when permitted under this Section 8)
to sell the whole or any part of the Pledged Shares hereunder, it is necessary
or advisable to effect a public registration of all or part of the Pledged
Collateral pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (or any similar
statute then in effect) (the “Act”), Pledgor shall, in an expeditious
manner, cause the Pledged Entities to:

 

(i)            Use
commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement with
respect to the Pledged Shares and in good faith use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective;

 

(ii)           Use
commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Commission such
amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus
used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration
statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Act with respect
to the sale or other disposition of the Pledged Shares covered by such
registration statement whenever Agent shall desire to sell or otherwise dispose
of the Pledged Shares;

 

(iii)          Use
commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to Agent such numbers of copies of a
prospectus and a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of
the Act, and such other documents as Agent may request in order to facilitate
the public sale or other disposition of the Pledged Shares by Agent;

 

(iv)          Use
commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Pledged Shares
covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky
laws of such jurisdictions within the United States and Puerto Rico as Agent
shall request, and do such other reasonable acts and things as may be required
of it to enable Agent to consummate the public sale or other disposition in
such jurisdictions of the Pledged Shares by Agent;

 

7

 

(v)           Furnish,
at the request of Agent, on the date that shares of the Pledged Collateral are
delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration or, if the
security is not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the
registration statement with respect to such Pledged Shares becomes effective, (A) an
opinion, dated such date, of the independent counsel representing such
registrant for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters,
if any, and in the event the Pledged Shares are not being sold through
underwriters, then to Agent, in customary form and covering matters of the type
customarily covered in such legal opinions; and (B) a comfort letter,
dated such date, from the independent certified public accountants of such
registrant, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and in the event the Pledged
Shares are not being sold through underwriters, then to Agent, in a customary
form and covering matters of the type customarily covered by such comfort
letters and as the underwriters or Agent shall reasonably request.  The opinion of counsel referred to above
shall additionally cover such other legal matters with respect to the
registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as Agent may
reasonably request.  The letter referred
to above from the independent certified public accountants shall additionally
cover such other financial matters (including information as to the period
ending not more than five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such
letter) with respect to the registration in respect of which such letter is
being given as Agent may reasonably request; and

 

(vi)          Otherwise
use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission, and make available to its security holders, as
soon as reasonably practicable but not later than 18 months after the effective
date of the registration statement, an earnings statement covering the period
of at least 12 months beginning with the first full month after the effective
date of such registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act.

 

(d)   All
expenses incurred in complying with Section 8(c) hereof,
including, without limitation, all filing fees (including all expenses incident
to filing with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.),
printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the registrant, the
fees and expenses of counsel for Agent, expenses of the independent certified
public accountants (including any special audits incident to or required by any
such registration) and expenses of complying with the securities or blue sky
laws or any jurisdictions, shall be paid by Pledgor.

 

(e)   If, at any
time when Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell the whole or any
part of the Pledged Collateral hereunder, such Pledged Collateral or the part
thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively
registered under the Act, Agent may, in its discretion (subject only to
applicable requirements of law), sell such Pledged Collateral or part thereof
by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as Agent may deem
necessary or advisable, but subject to the other requirements of this Section 8,
and shall not be required to effect such registration or to cause the same to
be effected.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, in any such event, Agent in its discretion (x) may,
in accordance with applicable securities laws, proceed to make such private
sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of
registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof could be or shall have been
filed under said Act (or similar statute), (y) may approach and negotiate
with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale, and (z) may restrict
such sale to a purchaser who is an 

 

8

 

accredited investor under the Act and who will represent and agree that
such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment and not with a
view to the distribution or sale of such Pledged Collateral or any part
thereof.  In addition to a private sale
as provided above in this Section 8, if any of the Pledged
Collateral shall not be freely distributable to the public without registration
under the Act (or similar statute) at the time of any proposed sale pursuant to
this Section 8, then Agent shall not be required to effect such
registration or cause the same to be effected but, in its discretion (subject
only to applicable requirements of law), may require that any sale hereunder
(including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to restrictions:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(f)    Pledgor
recognizes that Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the
Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales
thereof in accordance with clause (e) above.  Pledgor also acknowledges that any such
private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller
than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances,
agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a
commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being
private.  Agent shall be under no
obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of
time necessary to permit the Pledged Entity to register such securities for
public sale under the Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if
Pledgor and the Pledged Entity would agree to do so.

 

(g)   Pledgor
agrees to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law that following the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default it will not at any
time plead, claim or take the benefit of any appraisal, valuation, stay,
extension, moratorium or redemption law now or hereafter in force in order to
prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of the
whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral or the possession thereof by any
purchaser at any sale hereunder, and Pledgor waives the benefit of all such
laws to the extent it lawfully may do so. 
Pledgor agrees that it will not interfere with any right, power and
remedy of Agent provided for in this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of
the exercise by Agent of any one or more of such rights, powers or
remedies.  No failure or delay on the
part of Agent to exercise any such 

 

9

 

right, power or remedy and no notice or demand which may be given to or
made upon Pledgor by Agent with respect to any such remedies shall operate as a
waiver thereof, or limit or impair Agent’s right to take any action or to
exercise any power or remedy hereunder, without notice or demand, or prejudice
its rights as against Pledgor in any respect.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(d)   the
insolvency of any Credit Party; or

 

10

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

15.           Miscellaneous.

 

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

 

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

 

11

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

17.           Notices.  Except as
otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided herein that any notice,
demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or
