therefor, guarantee thereof or right of offset with respect thereto. Neither

conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best in
its sole discretion, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without
assumption of any credit risk. Agent shall have the right, without notice or
publication, to adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be
adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such
sale, and any such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may
be adjourned without further notice. Agent shall have the right upon any such
public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by the Code, 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 of the Pledgors, which right or
equity of redemption is hereby waived or released. Agent may take title to any
such Collateral itself or in any nominee or designee. Agent shall apply the
proceeds of
11
any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale,
after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein
or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way
relating to the Collateral or the rights of Agent hereunder, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in
whole or in part of the Debt, in such order as Agent may elect, and only after
such application and after the payment by Agent of any other amount required by
any applicable Legal Requirement, including, without limitation, any applicable
provision of the Code, need Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the
Pledgors. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Pledgors each waive all
claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Agent or any Lender arising
out of the exercise by Agent of any of its rights hereunder, except for any
claims, damages and demands it may have against Agent arising from the willful
misconduct or gross negligence of Agent or its Affiliates, or any agents or
employees of the foregoing. If any notice of a proposed sale or other
disposition of Collateral shall be required by applicable Legal Requirements,
such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10)
days before such sale or other disposition.
(d) The rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Agent and the Lenders
under this Agreement are cumulative and shall be in addition to all rights,
powers, privileges and remedies available to Agent and the Lenders at law, in
equity or otherwise. All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative
and may be exercised successively or concurrently without impairing the rights
of Agent or any Lender hereunder.
9. Private Sales. The Pledgors recognize that Agent may be unable to effect
a public sale of any or all of the Collateral, by reason of certain prohibitions
contained in the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws or
otherwise, and it may be advisable 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. The
Pledgors acknowledge and agree that any such private sale may result in prices
and other terms less favorable to Agent than if such sale were a public sale
and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agree that any such private sale shall
not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by
virtue of being a private sale. Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a
sale of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit any of
the Pledgors or any Pledged Borrower to register such securities for public sale
under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if
such Pledgors or Pledged Borrowers would agree to do so.
(a) The Pledgors further shall use their best efforts to do or cause to be
done all such other acts as may be reasonably necessary to make any sale or
sales of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to this Section 9 valid
and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable Legal Requirements.
The Pledgors further agree that a breach of any of the covenants contained in
this Section 9 will cause irreparable injury to Agent, that Agent has no
adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that
each and every covenant contained in this Section 9 shall be specifically
enforceable against the Pledgors, and the Pledgors each hereby waive and agree
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.
12
(b) Neither Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability as a result of
the sale of any Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale conducted
in a commercially reasonable manner, it being agreed that some or all of the
Collateral is or may be of one or more types that threaten to decline speedily
in value and that are not customarily sold in a recognized market. The Pledgors
each hereby waive any claims against Agent or any Lender arising by reason of
the fact that the price at which any of the Collateral may have been sold at
such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a
public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Debt, even if Agent
accepts the first offer received and does not offer any Collateral to more than
one offeree, provided that Agent has acted in a commercially reasonable manner
in conducting such private sale.
10. Limitation on Duties Regarding Collateral. Agent's sole duty with
respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral
in its possession, under the Code or otherwise, shall be, to deal with it in the
same manner as Agent deals with similar securities and property for its own
account, which shall not include any steps necessary to preserve rights against
prior parties. Neither Agent nor any Lender or any of their respective
directors, officers, 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 the Pledgors or otherwise.
11. Financing Statements; Other Documents. On the date hereof, the Pledgors
shall deliver to Agent (a) UCC-1 financing statements with respect to the
Collateral, suitable for filing in such jurisdictions as Agent shall request and
(b) any other document or instrument which Agent may request with respect to the
Collateral for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefit of this
Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted.
12. Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this
Agreement to Agent, Agent is hereby appointed, which appointment as
attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, the
attorney-in-fact of each of the Pledgors for the purpose of carrying out the
provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instruments
which Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof
including, without limitation:
(a) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive and give
acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of
any of the Collateral;
(b) to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments,
documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (a) above;
(c) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that
the Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the
Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights and remedies of Agent with respect
to any of the Collateral;
(d) to execute, in connection with the sale provided for in Section 8 or 9,
any endorsement, assignments, or other instruments of conveyance or transfer
with respect to the Collateral; and
13
(e) executing and filing such amendments or modifications to the
Organizational Documents as Agent deems necessary or desirable in connection
with enforcement of any rights or remedies of Agent under this Agreement in
respect of the Collateral following the occurrence of an Event of Default.
If so requested by Agent, each of the Pledgors shall ratify and confirm any
such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to Agent at the Pledgors'
expense all proper deeds, bills of sale, instruments of assignment, conveyance
of transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.
13. Non-Recourse. The provisions of Article XI of the Credit Agreement are
hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.
14. Indemnity. Pledgors each agree to indemnify Agent, the Lenders and
their respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees and agents
(collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all Losses
arising out of or resulting from enforcement of this Agreement that are incurred
thereby (including without limitation enforcement of this Agreement), except to
the extent any such Losses arise by reason of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of any Indemnified Party.
15. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of Agent, and the security
interests hereunder, and all of the obligations secured hereby, shall be
absolute and unconditional, irrespective of:
(a) to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, any lack of
validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or
instrument relating thereto;
(b) any change in the time (including the extension of the Maturity Date),
manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the
obligations of Pledgor under the Loan and the Loan Documents or any other
amendment or waiver of any consent to any departure from the Loan Documents;
(c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any other collateral for the
Loan, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any
of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of the Loan; or
(d) any other circumstances (other than payment of the Debt in full) that
might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any
Pledgor or any third party for the Loan or any part thereof.
16. Continuing Security Interest; Release of Collateral. This Agreement
shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a)
remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of the Debt, (b) be
binding upon the Pledgors and their respective successors and permitted assigns,
and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of Agent hereunder, to the
benefit of Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns. Upon the full and
indefeasible payment of the Loan and subject to Section 12.27 of the Credit
Agreement, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights
to the Collateral shall revert to the
13
Pledgors, provided, however, if at any time all or any part of any payment made
by any Pledgor or received by Agent from any Pledgor with respect to the Loan is
or must be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever (including, without
limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Pledgor), then
the security interest granted to Agent hereunder and the indemnities and other
obligations of the Pledgors hereunder shall, to the extent of the payment made
by the Pledgors, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such
previous payment by the Pledgors, or receipt of payment by Agent, and the
security interest granted to Agent hereunder and the obligations of the Pledgors
hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be,
as to such payment, all as though such previous payment had never been made.
17. Miscellaneous.
(a) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall
be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under
applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision
or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
(b) Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are included herein for
convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement
for any other purpose.
(c) No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. Agent shall not by any act (except by a
written instrument pursuant to Section 17(d)), delay, indulgence, omission or
otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have
acquiesced in any default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions
hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of
Agent, 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 Agent of any right or remedy
hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or
remedy which Agent would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights,
remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised
singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers or
privileges provided by applicable Legal Requirements.
(d) Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns. None of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, or otherwise modified
except by a written instrument executed by the party against which enforcement
of such waiver, amendment, or modification is sought. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Pledgors and their respective
successors and permitted assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Agent and its
successors and assigns; provided no Pledgor shall have any right to Transfer any
of its rights hereunder. The rights of Agent under this Agreement shall
automatically be transferred to any transferee to which Agent transfers the
Notes and Credit Agreement.
15
(e) Notices. All notices or other written communications hereunder shall be
delivered in accordance with Section 12.5 of the Credit Agreement.
(f) Agents. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection
herewith and shall not be responsible for their actions except for the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact
selected by it in good faith.
(g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and all the counterparts taken together shall be deemed to
constitute one and the same instrument.
