Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective
successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment
and performance by the Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) of the Borrower Obligations.

4


(b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary
notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed
by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the
insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution
established in Section 2.2).

(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Borrower Obligations may at any time and
from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder
without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the
rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder.

(d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and
effect until all the Borrower Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor
under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been satisfied by
payment in full (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations
and, in the absence of a Default or Event of Default, obligations under or in
respect of Specified Swap Agreements or Specified Cash Management Agreements),
no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (unless it has been cash collateralized
in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and the Commitments shall
be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the
Credit Agreement the Borrower may be free from any Borrower Obligations.

(e) No payment made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other
guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other
guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any
set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in
reduction of or in payment of the Borrower Obligations shall be deemed to
modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor
hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment
made by such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations or any payment
received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower
Obligations), remain liable for the Borrower Obligations up to the maximum
liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Borrower Obligations are paid in
full (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and, in the
absence of a Default or Event of Default, obligations under or in respect of
Specified Swap Agreements or Specified Cash Management Agreements), no Letter of
Credit shall be outstanding (unless it has been cash collateralized in a manner
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and the Commitments are terminated.

2.2 Right of Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees
that to the extent that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its
proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Subsidiary Guarantor
shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other
Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of
such payment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject
to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3. The provisions of this Section 2.2
shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary
Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and each Subsidiary
Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for
the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

2.3 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor
hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be
subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender
against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or
guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for
the payment of the Borrower Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be
entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any
other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until
all amounts owing to the

5


Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Borrower on account of the
Borrower Obligations are paid in full (other than unasserted contingent
indemnification obligations and, in the absence of a Default or Event of
Default, obligations under or in respect of Specified Swap Agreements or
Specified Cash Management Agreements), no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding
(unless it has been cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent) and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be
paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights in violation of the
immediately preceding sentence, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in
trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds
of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be
turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such
Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if
required), to be applied against the Borrower Obligations, whether matured or
unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.

2.4 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Borrower Obligations. Each
Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any
reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further
assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Borrower
Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by
the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any of the Borrower Obligations
continued, and the Borrower Obligations, or the liability of any other Person
upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor
or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in
part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived,
surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and the
Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed
and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or
terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required
Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to
time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held
by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Borrower
Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.

2.5 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any
and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the
Borrower Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance
of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Borrower Obligations, and any
of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or
incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the
guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Borrower and
any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been
had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2.
Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and
notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Guarantors
with respect to the Borrower Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees
that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a
continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to
(a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document, any of the Borrower Obligations or any other collateral security
therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or
from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (b) any
defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or
performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the
Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or
(c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of
the Borrower or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to
constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Borrower
Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section
2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or
otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to,
make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue

6


such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other
Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee
for the Borrower Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and
any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any such demand,
to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the
Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such
collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any
release of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such
collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any
Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or
affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a
matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Guarantor.
For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance
of any legal proceedings.

2.6 Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall
continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Borrower Obligations is rescinded or
must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of
the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a
receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the
Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise,
all as though such payments had not been made.

2.7 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder
will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim in
Dollars at the Funding Office.

SECTION 3. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST

Each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable
benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, all of the following
property now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by such Grantor or in which
such Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title
or interest (collectively, the “Collateral“), as collateral security for
the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of such Grantor’s Obligations:

(a) all Accounts;

(b) all Chattel Paper;

(c) all Contracts;

(d) all Deposit Accounts;

(e) all Documents (other than title documents with respect to Vehicles);

(f) all Equipment;

(g) all Fixtures;

(h) all General Intangibles;

(i) all Instruments;

(j) all Intellectual Property;

7


(k) all Inventory;

(l) all Investment Property;

(m) all Letter-of-Credit Rights;

(n) all Commercial Tort Claims specified on Schedule G to the
Disclosure Letter;

(o) all other property not otherwise described above (except for any property
specifically excluded from any clause in this section above, and any property
specifically excluded from any defined term used in any clause of this section
above);

(p) all books and records pertaining to the Collateral; and

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

provided, however, that notwithstanding any of the other provisions
set forth in this Section 3, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a
security interest in (i) any property to the extent that such grant of a
security interest is prohibited by any Requirements of Law of a Governmental
Authority, requires a consent not obtained of any Governmental Authority
pursuant to such Requirement of Law or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach
or default under or results in the termination of or requires any consent not
obtained under, any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document
evidencing or giving rise to such property or, in the case of any Investment
Property, Pledged Stock or Pledged Note, any applicable shareholder or similar
agreement, except to the extent that such Requirement of Law or the term in such
contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document or shareholder or
similar agreement providing for such prohibition, breach, default or termination
or requiring such consent is ineffective under applicable law or (ii)
“intent-to-use” trademark applications filed in the United States Patent and
Trademark Office unless and until acceptable evidence of first use thereof,
whether by the actual use thereof in commerce, the recording of a statement of
use with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or otherwise, exists,
solely to the extent that granting a security interest in such applications
prior to such time would adversely affect the enforceability or validity of such
applications.

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Credit
Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make their respective extensions of
credit to the Borrower thereunder, each Grantor hereby represents and warrants
to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

4.1 Title; No Other Liens. Except for the security interest granted to
the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant
to this Agreement and the other Liens permitted to exist on the Collateral by
the Credit Agreement, such Grantor owns each item of the Collateral free and
clear of any and all Liens or claims of others. No financing statement or other
public notice with respect to all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of
record in any public office, except such as have been filed in favor of the
Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant
to this Agreement or as are permitted by the Credit Agreement. For the avoidance
of doubt, it is understood and agreed that any Grantor may, as part of its
business, grant licenses to third parties to use Intellectual Property owned or
developed by a Grantor. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, such licensing activity shall not constitute a “Lien” on such
Intellectual Property. Each

8


of the Administrative Agent and each Lender understands that any such
licenses may be exclusive to the applicable licensees, and such exclusivity
provisions may limit the ability of the Administrative Agent to utilize, sell,
lease or transfer the related Intellectual Property or otherwise realize value
from such Intellectual Property pursuant hereto.

4.2 Perfected First Priority Liens. The security interests granted
pursuant to this Agreement (a) upon completion of the filings and other actions
specified on Schedule C to the Disclosure Letter (which, in the case of
all filings and other documents referred to on said Schedule, have been
delivered to the Administrative Agent in completed and duly executed form) will
constitute valid perfected security interests in all of the Collateral in favor
of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as
collateral security for such Grantor’s Obligations, enforceable in accordance
with the terms hereof against all creditors of such Grantor and any Persons
purporting to purchase any Collateral from such Grantor and (b) are prior to all
other Liens on the Collateral in existence on the date hereof except for Liens
permitted by the Credit Agreement which have priority over the Liens on the
Collateral by operation of law, in each case to the extent that the security
interest in the Collateral can be perfected by the taking of actions specified
on Schedule C to the Disclosure Letter.

4.3 Jurisdiction of Organization; Chief Executive Office. On the
Closing Date, such Grantor’s name, jurisdiction of organization, identification
number from the jurisdiction of organization (if any), and the location of such
Grantor’s chief executive office or sole place of business or principal
residence, as the case may be, are specified on Schedule D to the
Disclosure Letter.

4.4 Inventory and Equipment. On the Closing Date, the Inventory and
the Equipment (other than mobile goods) are kept at the locations listed on
Schedule E to the Disclosure Letter.

4.5 Farm Products. None of the Collateral constitutes, or is the
Proceeds of, Farm Products.

4.6 Investment Property. (a) The shares of Pledged Stock pledged by
such Grantor hereunder constitute all the issued and outstanding shares of all
classes of the Capital Stock of each Issuer owned by such Grantor or, in the
case of Foreign Subsidiary Voting Stock, if less, 66% (or, if so indicated on

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Administrative Agent shall not require any Grantor to take any action with

afforded thereby.

5.5 Changes in Name, etc. Such Grantor will not, except upon 15 days’
prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (or such other period of time
as agreed to by the Administrative Agent) and delivery to the Administrative

limitation, any certificate representing a dividend or a distribution in
connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any
certificate issued in connection with any reorganization), option or rights in
respect of the Capital Stock of any Issuer, whether in addition to, in

Pledged Stock, or otherwise in respect thereof, such Grantor shall accept the
same as the agent of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, hold the same in
trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and, in the case of a
certificate or instrument, deliver the same forthwith to the Administrative
Agent in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the
Administrative Agent, if required, together with an undated stock power covering
such certificate duly executed in blank by such Grantor and with, if the
Administrative Agent so requests, signature guaranteed, to be held by the
Administrative Agent, subject to the terms hereof, as additional collateral
security for the Obligations. Any sums paid upon or in respect of the Investment
Property upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Issuer, unless otherwise
subject to a perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent,
shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent to be held by it hereunder as
additional collateral security for the Obligations, and in case any distribution
of capital shall be made on or in respect of the Investment Property or any
property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Investment Property

shall, unless otherwise subject to a perfected security interest in favor of the
Administrative Agent, be delivered to the Administrative Agent to be held by it
hereunder as additional collateral security for the Obligations. If any sums of
money or property so paid or distributed in respect of the Investment Property
shall be received by such Grantor, such Grantor shall, until such money or
property is paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent, hold such money or
property in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from
other funds of such Grantor, as additional collateral security for the
Obligations.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such
Grantor will not (i) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any
Issuer that is a Subsidiary to issue any Capital Stock of any nature or to issue
any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or
exchange for any Capital Stock of any nature of any Issuer that is a Subsidiary,
(ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any
option with respect to, the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof (except
pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement), (iii)
create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of
any Person with respect to, any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof,
or any interest therein, except for the security interests created by this

or ability of such

12


Grantor or the Administrative Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the
Investment Property or Proceeds thereof.

Property issued by it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are
applicable to it, (ii) it will notify the Administrative Agent promptly in

to all actions that may be required of it pursuant to Section 6.3(c) or 6.7 with
respect to the Investment Property issued by it.

paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and all payments made in respect of the
Pledged Notes, to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise
all voting and corporate or other organizational rights with respect to the
Investment Property; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate
or other organizational right exercised or other action taken which, in such
Grantor’s good faith judgment, would impair the Collateral or which would result
in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document.

5.8 Receivables. (a) Other than in the ordinary course of business,

material Trademark in full force free from any claim of abandonment for non-use,
(ii) use such Trademark with the appropriate notice of registration and all
other notices and legends required by applicable Requirements of Law, and (iii)
not do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby such Trademark could

dedicated to the public.

(c) Such Grantor (i) will employ each material Copyright and (ii) will not do
any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any material portion of the
Copyrights could reasonably be expected to become invalidated or otherwise
impaired. Such Grantor will not do any act whereby any material portion of the

(d) Such Grantor will not do any act that knowingly uses any material
Intellectual Property to infringe the Intellectual Property rights of any other

(e) Such Grantor will notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
promptly if it knows, or has reason to know, that any application or
registration relating to any material Intellectual Property may become
forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse determination
or development (including, without limitation, the institution of, or any such
determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and
Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court or tribunal in
any country) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of, or the validity of, any

13


material Intellectual Property or such Grantor’s right to register the same
or to own and maintain the same.

(f) Whenever such Grantor, either by itself or through any agent, employee,
licensee or designee, shall become an exclusive licensee of any U.S.
Intellectual Property application or registration, or acquire or file an
application or registration of any Intellectual Property with the United States
Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar
office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, such
Grantor shall report such filing to the Administrative Agent as required by
Section 6.2 of the Credit Agreement. Upon request of the Administrative Agent,
such Grantor shall execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all
agreements, instruments, documents, and papers as the Administrative Agent may
request to evidence and perfect the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’
security interest in any Copyright, Patent or Trademark and the goodwill and
general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby.

(g) Such Grantor will take all reasonable and necessary steps, including,
without limitation, in any proceeding before the United States Patent and
Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or
agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain
and pursue each application (and to obtain the relevant registration) and to
maintain each registration of the material Intellectual Property, including,
without limitation, filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use and
affidavits of incontestability.

(h) In the event that any material Intellectual Property is infringed,
misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall (i) take such
actions as such Grantor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the
circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property and (ii) if such
Intellectual Property is of material economic value, promptly notify the
Administrative Agent after it learns thereof.

5.10 Commercial Tort Claims. If such Grantor shall obtain an interest
in any Commercial Tort Claim with a potential value in excess of $500,000, such
Grantor shall within 30 days of obtaining such interest sign and deliver
documentation reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent granting a
security interest under the terms and provisions of this Agreement in and to
such Commercial Tort Claim.

SECTION 6. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

6.1 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables. (a) If required by the
Administrative Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, any Receivable may be collected by or on behalf of the
Administrative Agent and any payments of Receivables, when collected by any
Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days)
deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such
Grantor to the Administrative Agent if required, in a Collateral Account
maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent,
subject to withdrawal by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders
only as provided in Section 6.5, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by
such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated
from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables
shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and
source of the payments included in the deposit.

(b) After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default,
at the Administrative Agent’s request, each Grantor shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating
to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables,
including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping
receipts.

14


6.2 Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable. (a) The
Administrative Agent in its own name may at any time after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with obligors under
the Receivables to verify with them to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction
the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables.

(b) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall
notify obligors on the Receivables that the Receivables have been assigned to
the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and that
payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall
remain liable under each of the Receivables to observe and perform all the
conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in
accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation or liability under
any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising
out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any
Lender be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any
Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise
thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the
sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any
performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any
action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which
may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or
times.

6.3 Pledged Stock. (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing and the Administrative Agent shall give notice of its intent to
exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Administrative
Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or
other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property and make application
thereof to the Obligations in such order as the Administrative Agent may
determine, and (ii) any or all of the Investment Property shall be registered in
the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee, and the Administrative
Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other
rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting of shareholders of
the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of
conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or
options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner
thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion
any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation,
reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or
other organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any
Grantor or the Administrative Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining
to such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit
and deliver any and all of the Investment Property with any committee,
depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms
and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability
except to account for property actually received by it, but the Administrative
Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or
option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so
doing.

(b) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any
Investment Property pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any
instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (x)
states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is
otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or
further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer
shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly
permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the
Investment Property directly to the Administrative Agent.

15


6.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Administrative Agent. In addition to
the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders specified in Section 6.1
with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and
be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks
and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from other funds of such
Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to
the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly
indorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, if required). All Proceeds
received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be held by the
Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion
and control. All Proceeds while held by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral
Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the
Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided
in Section 6.5.

6.5 Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Administrative Agent’s election,
the Administrative Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting
Collateral, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and any proceeds of
the guarantee set forth in Section 2, in payment of the Obligations in the
following order:

First, to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the
Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents;

Second, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards
payment of amounts then due and owing and remaining unpaid in respect of the
Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the
amounts of the Obligations then due and owing and remaining unpaid to the
Secured Parties;

Third, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards
prepayment of the Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties
according to the amounts of the Obligations then held by the Secured Parties;
and

Fourth, any balance remaining after the Obligations (other than
unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) shall have been paid in full,
no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding (unless cash collateralized in a
manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and the Commitments shall have
terminated shall be paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully
entitled to receive the same.

6.6 Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may exercise, in
addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and
in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the
Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC
or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand,
presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice
required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person
(all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby
waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and
realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell,
lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and
deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the
foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any
exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or
elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such
prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without
assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have
the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the

16


extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the
whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of
redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released.
Each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble
the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which
the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s
premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of
any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, after deducting all
reasonable costs and expenses to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 10.5
of the Credit Agreement and Section 8.4 hereof incurred in connection therewith
or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way
relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements to the extent required by Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement and
Section 8.4 hereof, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in
such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, and only after such
application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other
amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section
9-615(a)(3) of the New York UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the
surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each
Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the
Administrative Agent or any Lender arising out of the exercise by them of any
rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of
Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and
proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

6.7 Registration Rights. (a) If the Administrative Agent shall
determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant
to Section 6.6, and if in the opinion of the Administrative Agent it is
necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be
sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant
Grantor will cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the
directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such
instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may
be, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, necessary or advisable to
register the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the
provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the
registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain
effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of
the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all
amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the
Administrative Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the
requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to
cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky”
laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Administrative Agent shall designate
and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an
earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions
of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

(b) Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to
effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain
prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales
thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree,
among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each
Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices
and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and,
notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be
deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative
Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock
for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such
securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state
securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

17


(c) Each Grantor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to do or
cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or
sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant to this Section 6.7
valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable
Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the
covenants contained in this Section 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, that the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a
consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.7 shall be
specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives
and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance
of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred
under the Credit Agreement.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.7 shall not apply to Pledged
Stock to the extent that the Issuer thereof is not a Subsidiary of a Grantor.

6.8 Subordination. Each Grantor hereby agrees that, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, unless otherwise
agreed by the Administrative Agent, all Indebtedness owing by it to any
Subsidiary of the Borrower shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in
cash of such Grantor’s Obligations (other than unasserted contingent
indemnification obligations).

6.9 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if
the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient
to pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed
by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to collect such deficiency (to the
extent that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entitled to
reimbursement pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement and Section 8.4
hereof).

SECTION 7. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

7.1 Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. (a)
Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative
Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its
true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in
the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its
own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take
any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and
instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of
this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Grantor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of
such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of
the following:

(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take
possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or
other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable or Contract
or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other
action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed
appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and
all such moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to any
other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have
recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the
Administrative Agent may request to evidence and perfect the Administrative
Agent’s and the Lenders’ security interest in such Intellectual Property and the
goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented
thereby;

18


(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened
against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the
terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the
costs thereof;

(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.6 or 6.7,
any indorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer
with respect to the Collateral; and

(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral
to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly
to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; (2) ask
or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all
moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of
or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or
express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against
debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection
with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or
proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to
collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in
respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought
against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or
adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give
such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate;
(7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the
business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout
the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the
Administrative Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8) generally,
sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal
with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative
Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the
Administrative Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from
time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent deems necessary
to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative
Agent’s and the Lenders’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of
this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power
of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing.

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements
contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any
obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or
compliance, with such agreement.

(c) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or
cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies
contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable
until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are
released.

7.2 Duty of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent’s sole duty
with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the
Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or
otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative
Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the
Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any of their respective officers,
directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or
realize upon any 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 any other Person or to take any other action
whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers
conferred on the

19


Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are solely to protect the
Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ interests in the Collateral and shall
not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any
such powers. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders 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.

7.3 Execution of Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable law,
each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to file or record financing
statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect
to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such
offices as the Administrative Agent determines appropriate to perfect the
security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Each
Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to use the collateral description
“all personal property” in any such financing statements. Each Grantor hereby
ratifies and authorizes the filing by the Administrative Agent of any financing
statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date hereof.

7.4 Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that
the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement
with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or
non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request,
judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising
out of this Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with
respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the
Administrative Agent and the Grantors, the Administrative Agent shall be
conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Lenders with full and valid
authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any
obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this
Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in
accordance with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement.

8.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the
Administrative Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner
provided for in Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such
notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such
Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule A to the Disclosure
Letter or such other address as may be notified to the Administrative Agent from
time to time.

8.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall by any act (except by a written
instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be
deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any
Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in
exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or
partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right or
remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any
right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such Lender would otherwise
have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are
cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any
other rights or remedies provided by law.

20


8.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Guarantor agrees
to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its
reasonable and (if required) documented costs and out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in
Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, including,
without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one
firm of counsel to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, one local counsel,
as necessary, in each appropriate jurisdiction and, in the case of an actual or
perceived conflict of interest where the Person affected by such conflict
informs such Guarantor of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel,
of another firm of counsel for each such affected Person.

(b) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting
from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which
may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral
or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery,
enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent the
Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Credit
Agreement.

(d) The agreements in this Section 8.4 shall survive repayment of the
Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.

8.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their successors and assigns; provided
that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent.

8.6 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders
provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any
Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor to the extent
permitted by applicable law, upon any Obligations becoming due and payable by
any Grantor (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to
apply to the payment of such Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any
currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in
each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or
unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, any affiliate thereof or
any of their respective branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account
of such Grantor. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the relevant Grantor and
the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Lender,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such application.

8.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the
parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by
telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to
constitute one and the same instrument.

8.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

21


8.9 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are
for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof
or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

8.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
represent the agreement of the Grantors, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no
promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly
set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

8.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party,
or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the
exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the
courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York,
and appellate courts from any thereof;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts
and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any
such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding
was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be
effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any
substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to a Grantor at its
address referred to in Section 8.2 or at such other address of which the
Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto or to the
Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 10.2 of the Credit
Agreement;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of
process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in
any other jurisdiction; and

have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this
Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

(b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary
relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with

other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and
creditor; and

8.15 Releases. (a) At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement
Obligations and the other Obligations (other than unasserted contingent
indemnification obligations and, in the absence of a Default or Event of
Default, obligations under or in respect of Specified Swap Agreements or
Specified Cash Management Agreements) shall have been paid in full, the
Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding
(unless they have been cash collateralized in a manner reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent), the Collateral shall be released from the Liens
created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those
expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and
each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument
or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall
revert to the Grantors. At the request and sole expense of any Grantor following

reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on
such Collateral. At the request and sole expense of the Borrower, a Subsidiary
