the Agent further agrees that it will hold such Collateral Estate for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, for the enforcement of the payment of all

the respective Security Documents) and as security for the performance of and
compliance with the covenants and conditions of this Agreement and each of the
Security Documents.
-8-
SECTION 2.02. Exercise of Powers. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor
and Subordination Agreement, all of the powers, remedies and rights of the Agent
as set forth in this Agreement may be exercised by the Agent in respect of any
Security Document as though set forth in full therein and all of the powers,
remedies and rights of the Agent as set forth in any Security Document may be
exercised by the Agent from time to time as herein and therein provided.
SECTION 2.03. Remedies Not Exclusive. (a) No remedy conferred upon or
reserved to the Agent herein or in the Security Documents is intended to be
exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, but every such remedy shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy conferred herein or in
any Security Document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by
statute.
No delay or omission by the Agent to exercise any right, remedy or
power hereunder or under any Security Document shall impair any such right,
remedy or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, and every right,
power and remedy given by this Agreement or any Security Document to the Agent
may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by
the Agent.
If the Agent shall have proceeded to enforce any right, remedy or
power under this Agreement or any Security Document and the proceeding for the
enforcement thereof shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or
shall have been determined adversely to the Agent, then the Grantors, the Agent
and the other Secured Parties shall, subject to any determination in such
proceeding, severally and respectively be restored to their former positions and
rights hereunder or thereunder with respect to the Collateral Estate and in all
other respects, and thereafter all rights, remedies and powers of the Agent
shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.
SECTION 2.04. Waiver and Estoppel. (a) Subject to the terms of the Security
Documents, each Grantor agrees, to the extent it may lawfully do so, that it
will not at any time in any manner whatsoever claim, or take the benefit or
advantage of, any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium, turnover
or redemption law, or any law permitting it to direct the order in which the
Collateral shall be sold, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may
delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance or enforcement of this
Agreement or any Security Document and hereby waives all benefit or advantage of
all such laws and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the
execution of any power granted to the Agent in this Agreement or any Security
Document but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though
no such law were in force; provided that nothing contained in this Section
2.04(a) shall be construed as a waiver of any rights of the Grantors under any
applicable federal bankruptcy law or state insolvency law.
Each Grantor, to the extent it may lawfully do so, on behalf of itself
and all who may claim through or under it, including without limitation any and
all subsequent
-9-
creditors, vendees, assignees and licensors, waives and releases all rights to
demand or to have any marshaling of the Collateral upon any sale, whether made
under any power of sale granted herein or in any Security Document or pursuant
to judicial proceedings or upon any foreclosure or any enforcement of this
Agreement or any Security Document and consents and agrees that all the
Collateral may at any such sale be offered and sold as an entirety.
Each Grantor waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
presentment, demand, protest and any notice of any kind (except notices
explicitly required hereunder or under any Security Document) in connection with
this Agreement and the Security Documents and any action taken by the Agent with
respect to the Collateral.
SECTION 2.05. Limitation by Law. All rights, remedies and powers provided
in this Agreement or any Security Document may be exercised only to the extent
that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and
all the provisions hereof are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory
provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent
necessary so that they will not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable in
whole or in part or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the
provisions of any applicable law.

right of each Secured Party to receive payment of the Obligations held by such
Secured Party when due (whether at the stated maturity thereof, by acceleration
or otherwise), as expressed in the instruments evidencing or agreements
governing such Obligations or to institute suit for the enforcement of such
payment on or after such due date, shall not be impaired or affected without the
consent of such Secured Party given in the manner prescribed by the instruments
evidencing or agreements governing such Obligations.

Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Collateral.

any right or remedy by the Agent hereunder is subject to the terms of the

registered Copyrights registered in the name of any Grantor as of the date

Office, as applicable, and the filing of proper UCC financing statements with
the appropriate filing offices of each jurisdiction specified in Schedule 7 to

will have perfected security interests in respect of all Collateral consisting
of Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights registered in the name of any Grantor as
of the date hereof.
SECTION 4.03. Reserved

following Collateral:

accompanied by instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in
blank. If any amount individually in excess of $250,000 or in the aggregate
in excess of $1,000,000 payable under or in connection with any of the
Collateral shall be evidenced by any Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper,
the Grantor acquiring such Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper shall
forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Senior Collateral
Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly
executed in blank as the Senior Collateral Agent may from time to time
reasonably specify; provided, however, that so long as no Specified Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent (if the Agent
is in possession or control any such Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper)
shall return such Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper to such Grantor from
time to time, to
-12-
the extent necessary for collection in the ordinary course of such
Grantor's business; provided, further, that the Agent (if the Agent is in
possession or control any such Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper) shall
return such Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper to such Grantor if all
amounts due pursuant such Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper have been
paid in full.
(b) Deposit Accounts and Investment Property. (i) Each Grantor hereby
represents and warrants that as of the date hereof (1) it does not maintain
any Deposit Accounts other than the collateral account established and
maintained pursuant to the Citigroup Credit Facilities and the accounts
listed in Schedule 14 of the Perfection Certificate, (2) it does not
maintain any Securities Accounts or Commodity Accounts other than those
listed in Schedule 14 of the Perfection Certificate and (3) it does not
hold, own or have any interest in any certificated securities or
uncertificated securities other than those constituting Securities
Collateral or other collateral under the Pledge Agreement, those maintained
in Securities Accounts or Commodity Accounts listed in Schedule 14 of the
Perfection Certificate and Excluded Equity.
(ii) In the event the Grantors have cash, Investment Property or other
funds maintained in any Deposit Accounts (except for (A) Deposit Accounts
used solely to make payroll payments and (B) Deposit Accounts having an
average daily balance of less than $2,500,000 in the aggregate together
with all such other Deposit Accounts under this clause (B) that are not
subject to the Agent's Control) and/or Securities Accounts, Mid-Western
shall promptly notify the Agent and the Grantors shall promptly enter into
Control Agreements in favor of the Agent with the banks, Securities
Intermediaries or Commodity Intermediaries with which such Deposit Accounts
and Securities Accounts are maintained granting to the Agent Control over
such accounts. The Agent agrees with each Grantor that, in the case of a
Deposit Account subject to the Agent's Control, the Agent shall not give
any instructions directing the disposition of funds from time to time
credited to any Deposit Account or withhold any withdrawal rights from such
Grantor with respect to funds from time to time credited to any Deposit
Account or, in the case of a Securities Account or Commodity Account
subject to the Agent's Control, the Agent shall not give any Entitlement
Orders or instructions or directions to any Securities Intermediary or
Commodity Intermediary, and shall not withhold its consent to the exercise
of any withdrawal or dealing rights by such Grantor, unless, in each case,
a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or, after
giving effect to any withdrawal, would occur.
(iii) If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any
certificated securities constituting Investment Property that are not
Pledged Securities under the Pledge Agreement, such Grantor shall
immediately endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Senior Collateral
Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly
executed in blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
-13-
to the Senior Collateral Agent; provided, that in no event shall Grantor be
required to pledge any Excluded Equity. If any securities now or hereafter
acquired by any Grantor constituting Investment Property that are not
Pledged Securities under the Pledge Agreement are uncertificated and are
not held in accounts required to be subject to a control agreement pursuant
to clause (ii) of this Section 4.04(b), such Grantor shall promptly notify
the Agent thereof and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause
the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Agent as to such
securities, without further consent of any Grantor pursuant to an issuer's
acknowledgement in form provided to the Senior Collateral Agent.
(iv) As between the Agent and the Grantors, the Grantors shall bear
the investment risk with respect to the Investment Property, and the risk
of loss of, damage to or the destruction of the Investment Property,
whether in the possession of, or maintained as a security entitlement or
deposit by, or subject to the control of, the Agent, a Securities
Intermediary, a Commodity Intermediary, any Grantor or any other Person;
provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 4.04(b) shall
release or relieve any Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary of
its duties and obligations to the Grantors or any other Person under any
Control Agreement or under applicable law.
(c) Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. If any amount
individually in excess of $250,000 or in the aggregate in excess of
$1,000,000 payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall
be evidenced by any Electronic Chattel Paper or any "transferable record,"
as that term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures
in Global and National Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, the
Grantor acquiring such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record
shall promptly notify the Agent thereof and shall take such action as the
Senior Collateral Agent may reasonably request to vest in the Senior
Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, control under UCC
Section 9-105 of such Electronic Chattel Paper or control under Section 201
of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act
or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions
Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record.
(d) Letter-of-Credit Rights. If any Grantor is at any time a
beneficiary under a Letter of Credit now or hereafter issued in favor of
such Grantor in an amount individually in excess of $250,000 or in the
aggregate in excess of $1,000,000, such Grantor shall promptly notify the
Agent and such Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (unless
the Senior Collateral Agent requests otherwise) pursuant to an agreement in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Senior Collateral Agent,
either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such Letter of
Credit to consent to an assignment to the Senior Collateral Agents of the
proceeds of any
-14-
drawing under the Letter of Credit or (ii) arrange for the Senior
Collateral Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of such Letter of
Credit.
(e) Commercial Tort Claims. As of the date hereof each Grantor hereby
represents and warrants that as of the date hereof it holds no Commercial
Tort Claims other than those listed on Schedule 13 to the Perfection
Certificate. If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial
Tort Claim having a value individually in excess of $250,000 or in the
aggregate in excess of $1,000,000 such Grantor shall promptly notify the
Agent thereof and grant to the Agent in writing signed by such Grantor a
security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof, all upon the terms
of this Agreement, with such writing to be in the form provided to the
Senior Collateral Agent.
(f) Motor Vehicles. Upon the request of the Agent during the existence
of a Specified Event of Default, each Grantor shall deliver to the Agent
originals of the certificates of title or ownership for the motor vehicles
(and any other Equipment covered by Certificates of Title or ownership)
owned by it with the Agent listed as a lienholder therein. Such requirement
shall apply to the Grantors if any such motor vehicle (or any such other
Equipment) has a fair market value over $50,000.
SECTION 4.05. No Conflicts, Consents, etc. In the event that a Specified
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Agent desires to
exercise any remedies, voting or consensual rights or attorney-in-fact powers
set forth in this Agreement and determines it necessary to obtain any approvals
or consents of any Governmental Authority or any other Person therefor, then,
upon the reasonable request of the Agent, such Grantor agrees to use
commercially reasonable efforts to assist and aid the Agent to obtain as soon as
practicable any necessary approvals or consents for the exercise of any such
remedies, rights and powers.
ARTICLE V
Covenants
SECTION 5.01. Protection of Security. Each Grantor shall, at its own cost
and expense, take any and all actions reasonably necessary to protect the
Security Interests of the Agent in the Collateral.
SECTION 5.02. Further Assurances. Each Grantor agrees, at its own expense,
to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further
instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Agent may from time
to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the
Security Interests and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the
payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the
-15-
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interests
and the filing of any financing statements or other documents in connection
herewith or therewith.
SECTION 5.03. Reserved
SECTION 5.04. Reserved
SECTION 5.05. Reserved
SECTION 5.06. Reserved
SECTION 5.07. Certain Covenants and Provisions Regarding Patent, Trademark
and Copyright Collateral:
(a) In the event that any Grantor, either itself or through any agent,
employee, licensee or designee, files an application for or, following the
Closing Date, becomes the registered owner of, any Patent, Trademark or
Copyright (or for the registration of any Trademark or Copyright) with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any
office or agency in any political subdivision of the United States, such Grantor
shall with the delivery of its quarterly financial statements notify the Agent
thereof, and shall execute and deliver any and all agreements, instruments,
documents and papers as the Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Agent's
security interest in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright or application
therefor, and each Grantor hereby appoints the Agent as its attorney-in-fact to
execute and file such writings solely for the foregoing purposes, all acts of
such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; such power, being coupled
with an interest, is irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated.
(b) Upon and during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default, each
Grantor shall upon the written request of the Agent use its commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals by the licensor
of each Copyright License, Patent License or Trademark License to effect the
assignment of all of such Grantor's right, title and interest thereunder to the
Senior Collateral Agent or its designee.
ARTICLE VI
Remedies
SECTION 6.01. Remedies upon Default. Subject to the terms of the
Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, after the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Specified Event of Default, each Grantor agrees to deliver each
item of Collateral to the Agent (or, to the extent delivery of such Collateral
would be commercially impracticable, make such Collateral available), and it is
agreed that the Agent shall have the right to take any of or all the following
actions at the same or different times: (a) with respect to any Collateral
consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the Security Interest
to become an
-16-
assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Collateral by the
applicable Grantors to the Agent, or to license or sublicense, whether general,
special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any
such Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such
manner as the Agent shall determine (other than in violation of applicable law
or any then existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be
obtained), and (b) with or without legal process and with or without prior
notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Collateral and
without liability for trespass to enter any premises where the Collateral may be
located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Collateral and,
generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the
UCC or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
each Grantor agrees that the Agent shall have the right, subject to the
requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part
of the Collateral, at public or private sale or at any broker's board or on any
securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Agent
shall deem appropriate. The Agent shall be authorized at any such sale (if it
deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers
to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral
for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or
sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Agent shall have the
right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the
Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property
sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and
each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of
redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in
the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter
enacted.
The Agent shall give a Grantor ten (10) Business Days' prior written notice
(which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section
9-611 of the UCC) of the Agent's intention to make any sale or other disposition
of such Grantor's Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall
state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker's
board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which
such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof,
will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale
shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such
place or places as the Agent may fix and state in the notice of such sale. At
any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one
lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Agent may (in its sole and
absolute discretion) determine. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any
sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the
fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Agent
may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause
the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place
fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time
and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any
part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral
so sold may be retained by the Agent until the sale price is paid by the
purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Agent shall not incur any liability in
case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and
-17-
pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral
may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted
by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section, any Secured Party may bid
for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of
redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said
rights being also hereby waived and released), the Collateral or any part
thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any
Obligation then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a
credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance
with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without
further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written
agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as
a sale thereof; the Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such
agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or
any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the
Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Specified Events of Default
shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to
exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Agent may proceed by
a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the
Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or
courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a
court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section
shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided
in Section 9-611 of the UCC.
SECTION 6.02. Application of Proceeds.. Subject to the terms of the
Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, the proceeds of any sale of
Securities Collateral pursuant to Section 6 shall be applied by the Agent in
accordance with Section 8.3 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 6.03. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the
purpose of enabling the Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Article
at such time as the Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and
remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Agent a nonexclusive license
(exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors
during the existence of a Specified Event of Default) to use, license or
sublicense any of the Collateral, except to the extent that such license may not
be granted as a result of an exclusive license arrangement, consisting of
Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and
wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable
access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored
and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout
thereof. The use of such license by the Agent shall be exercised, at the option
of the Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Specified
Event of Default; provided that any license or sublicense entered into by the
Agent with a Person other than the Agent or a Lender in accordance herewith
shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of a
Specified Event of Default.

survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, regardless of any investigation
made by the Secured Parties or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force
and effect until this Agreement shall terminate.
SECTION 8.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective as to
any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor shall
have been delivered to the Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been
executed on behalf of the Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such
Grantor and the Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall
inure to the benefit of such Grantor, the Agent and the other Secured Parties
and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have

interest herein (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as
expressly permitted by any of the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 8.05. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 8.06. Waivers; Amendment; Several Agreement. (a) No failure or
delay of the Agent in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a
waiver
-19-
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or
any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agent hereunder and of the other
Secured Parties under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of
any provisions of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Grantor
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in
the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or
demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle such Grantor or any other
Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended
or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered
into among the Agent and the Grantors with respect to which such waiver,
amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consents required in
accordance with the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement and Section 10.1
of the Credit Agreement.
(c) This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect
to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released
with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and
without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.
SECTION 8.07. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY
JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER
OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH
PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD
NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B)
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.07.
SECTION 8.08. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby
(it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of
-20-
such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in
good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as
possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. It is
understood and agreed among the parties that this Agreement shall create
separate security interests in the Collateral securing the Obligations as
provided in Section 3.01, and that any determination by any court with
jurisdiction that the security interest securing any Obligation is invalid for
any reason shall not in and of itself invalidate the security interest securing
any other Obligations hereunder.
SECTION 8.09. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract and shall become effective as
provided in Section 8.04. Delivery of an executed signature page to this
Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart hereof.

the purpose of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to
affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting,
this Agreement.
SECTION 8.11. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each party
hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any Delaware State court or
Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or
enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such Delaware State court or, to the
extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto
agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or
in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any
right that the Agent or any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
against any Grantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the
fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may
now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any
Delaware State or Federal court referred to in paragraph (c) of this Section.
Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of

-21-
(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process
in the manner provided for in Section 13.4 of the Credit Agreement. Nothing in
this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve

SECTION 8.12. Termination. (a) This Agreement and the Security Interests
(i) shall terminate when all the Obligations (other than contingent
indemnification obligations that are not then due and payable) have been paid in
full and the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Credit
Agreement (at which time the Agent shall execute and deliver to the Grantors, at
the Grantors' expense, all UCC termination statements and other documents which
the Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination and shall
return to the Grantors any Collateral held by the Agent) and (ii) shall continue
to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any
payment in respect of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored
by any Secured Party upon any bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor or
otherwise. Any execution and delivery of termination statements or documents
pursuant to this Section 8.12(a) shall be without recourse to or warranty by the
Agent. Any Subsidiary of Mid-Western that is a Grantor (each a "Mid-Western
Subidiary Grantor") shall automatically be released from its obligations
hereunder and the Security Interests in the Collateral of such Mid-Western
Subsidiary Grantor shall be automatically released in the event that the Equity
Interests of such Mid-Western Subsidiary Grantor shall be sold, transferred or
otherwise disposed of such that such Person is no longer a Subsidiary of
Mid-Western. The Borrower Loan Parties shall automatically be released from
their obligations hereunder and the Security Interests in the Collateral of the
Borrower Loan Parties shall be automatically released in the event the Borrower
assigns its obligations under the Credit Agreement to Mid-Western in accordance
with Section 13.15 of the Credit Agreement.
(b) Upon any sale or other transfer or disposition by any Grantor of any
Collateral (other than to another Grantor) and, prior to the Discharge of Senior
Obligations, upon the effectiveness of any release by the Senior Collateral
Agent of the security interest granted under the Citigroup Credit Facilities in
any Collateral, the Security Interests in such Collateral shall be automatically
released. In connection with such release, the Agent shall execute and deliver
to any Grantor, at such Grantor's expense, all UCC termination statements and
other documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination or release and shall return to such Grantor any Collateral owned by
such Grantor that is in the Agent's possession. Any execution and delivery of
UCC termination statements and similar documents pursuant to this Section
8.12(b) shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Agent.
SECTION 8.13. Additional Grantors. To the extent any Subsidiary shall be
required to become a Grantor pursuant to the Credit Agreement, upon execution
and delivery by the Agent and such Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of
Annex I hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same
force and effect as if originally
-22-
named as a Grantor herein. Each such Subsidiary shall at such time deliver to
the Agent a completed Perfection Certificate. The execution and delivery of any
such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder.
The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force
and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this
Agreement.
SECTION 8.14. Financing Statements. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably
authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant
jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments thereto that
contain the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of
each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or
amendment relating to the Collateral, including (i) whether such Grantor is an
organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification
number issued to such Grantor, (ii) any financing or continuation statements or
other documents without the signature of such Grantor where permitted by law,
including the filing of a financing statement describing the Collateral as "all
assets now owned or hereafter acquired by the Grantor or in which Grantor
otherwise has rights" and (iii) in the case of a financing statement filed as a
fixture filing or covering Collateral constituting minerals or the like to be
extracted or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of the real property to
which such Collateral relates. Each Grantor agrees to provide all information
described in the immediately preceding sentence to the Agent promptly upon
request. Copies of such financing statements, as filed, should be sent promptly
to Mid-Western at its address for notices pursuant to Section 8.01.
SECTION 8.15. Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby
appoints the Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of
carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and
executing any instrument that the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable until this
Agreement is terminated and coupled with an interest. Subject to the terms of
the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Agent shall have the right, after the occurrence and
during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default, with full power of
substitution either in the Agent's name or in the name of such Grantor, (a) to
receive, endorse, assign or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks,
drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or
any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for
and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to ask
for, demand, xxx for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all
moneys due or to become due under and by virtue of any Collateral; (d) to sign
the name of any Grantor on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any of the
Collateral; (e) to send verifications of Accounts to any Account Debtor; (f) to
commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in
equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on
all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any
Collateral; (g) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions,
suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (h) to notify, or
to require any Grantor to notify,
-23-
Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Agent; and (i) to use, sell,
assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal
with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary
to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though
the Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided,

C. Pursuant to Section 5.3(b) of the Credit Agreement, certain Subsidiaries
(as defined in the Credit Agreement) of Mid-Western and the Borrower are
required to enter into the Collateral Documents upon the occurrence of certain
events specified therein. Each of the Collateral Documents provides that any
such Subsidiary may become a party to the Collateral Documents by execution and
delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned
Subsidiary (the "New Guarantor") is executing this Supplement in accordance with
the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a party to the Collateral

Accordingly, the Agent and the New Guarantor agree as follows:
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 5.3(b) of the Credit Agreement,
the New Guarantor by its signature below becomes a Guarantor and/or Grantor
and/or Loan Party, as applicable, under the Credit Agreement and each of
the Collateral Documents with the same force and effect as if originally
named therein as a party thereto and hereby (a) agrees to all terms and
provisions of the Credit Agreement and Collateral Documents applicable to
it as a Loan Party and/or Guarantor and/or
Grantor, as applicable, thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the
representations and warranties made by it as a Loan Party and/or Guarantor
and/or Grantor, as applicable, thereunder are true and correct in all
material respects on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the
foregoing, the New Guarantor, as security for the payment and performance
in full of the Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement), does
hereby create and grant to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on
all of the New Guarantor's right, title and interest in and to the
Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) and the Securities
Collateral (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) of the New Guarantor (the
"First Lien Security Interest"). The Credit Agreement and each of the
Collateral Documents is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. The New Guarantor represents and warrants to the Agent and
the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding

moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors'
rights generally and by general principles of equity.
SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by
different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall
constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when
the Agent shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when
taken together, bear the signatures of the New Guarantor and the Agent.

counterpart of this Supplement.

Certificate, including the schedules annexed thereto is true and correct in
all material respects (as to the property owned by the New Guarantor) and

correct schedule describing the securities of the New Guarantor being
pledged hereunder.
SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented thereby, each of the

SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 7. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect,
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
contained herein and
-2-
in the Collateral Documents shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby (it being understood that the invalidity a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of
such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall
endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions.
SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in
writing and given as provided in Section 8.01 of the Security Agreement.
All communications and notices hereunder of the New Guarantor shall be

Agreement"), dated as of [__________], 2005 by and among [_______________] (the
"Grantor"), Citicorp North America, Inc., as Collateral Agent for the benefit of
the Senior Secured Parties (as defined below) (the "Senior Collateral Agent"),
The Boeing Company, as agent for the benefit of the Subordinated Secured Parties
(as defined below) (the "Subordinated Lien Agent") and [______________] (the
"Securities Intermediary"), is delivered pursuant to (a) Section 4.04(b) of that
certain security agreement (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the "Security Agreement"), dated as of
June 16, 2005 made by Mid-Western Aircraft Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("U.S. Borrower"), ONEX WIND FINANCE LP, a Delaware limited partnership
("Additional Borrower" and, together with the U.S. Borrower, "Borrowers"), and
each of the Guarantors listed on the signature pages thereto in favor of the
Senior Collateral Agent and (b) pursuant to Section 4.04(b) of that certain
security agreement (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the "Boeing Security Agreement"), dated as of June
16, 2005 made by the Borrowers and each of the Guarantors listed on the
signature pages thereto in favor of the Subordinated Lien Agent. For purposes of
this Control Agreement, Senior Secured Parties shall mean the "Secured Parties"
as such term is defined in the Security Agreement, and Subordinated Secured
Parties shall mean the "Secured Parties" as such term is defined in the Boeing
Security Agreement. This Control Agreement is for the purpose of perfecting the
security interests of the Senior Secured Parties and the Subordinated Secured
Parties granted by the Grantor in the Designated Accounts described below. All
references herein to the "UCC" shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in
effect from time to time in the State of New York. References herein to
"Collateral Agents" means the Senior Collateral Agent and the Subordinated Lien
Agent, collectively. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have
the meanings assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement.
Section 1. Priority of Lien. Pursuant to the Security Agreement and the
Boeing Security Agreement and subject to the Subordination and Intercreditor
Agreement, the Grantor has granted a security interest in all of the Grantor's
rights in the Designated Accounts referred to in Section 2 below to each of the
Senior Collateral Agent and the Subordinated Lien Agent, respectively. The
Collateral Agents, the Grantor and the Securities Intermediary are entering into
this Control Agreement to perfect each of the Senior Collateral Agent's and the
Subordinated Lien Agent's security interest in the Designated Accounts. As
between the Senior Collateral Agent and the Subordinated Lien Agent, the Senior
Collateral Agent shall have a first
-2-
priority security interest in the Designated Accounts and the Subordinated Lien
Agent shall have a second priority security interest in the Designated Accounts.
Section 2. Confirmation of Establishment and Maintenance of Designated
Accounts. The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms and agrees that (i) the
Securities Intermediary has established for the Grantor and maintains the
account(s) listed in Schedule I annexed hereto (such account(s), together with
each such other securities account maintained by the Grantor with the Securities
Intermediary collectively, the "Designated Accounts" and each a "Designated
Account"), (ii) each Designated Account will be maintained in the manner set
forth herein until the earlier of termination of such Designated Account and
termination of this Control Agreement, (iii) this Control Agreement is the valid
and legally binding obligation of the Securities Intermediary, (iv) the
Securities Intermediary is a "securities intermediary" as defined in Article
8-102(a)(14) of the UCC, (v) each of the Designated Accounts is, and will
remain, a "securities account" as such term is defined in Section 8-501(a) of
the UCC, (vi) all securities or other property underlying any financial assets
which are credited to any Designated Account shall be registered in the name of
the Securities Intermediary, endorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank
or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the
Securities Intermediary and in no case will any financial asset credited to any
Designated Account be registered in the name of the Grantor, payable to the
order of the Grantor or specially endorsed to the Grantor, except to the extent
the foregoing have been specially endorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in
blank and (vii) the Securities Intermediary shall not change the name or account
number of any of the Designated Accounts without the prior written consent of
(A) prior to the delivery of a Notice of Termination of Obligations
substantially in the form of Exhibit A annexed hereto (the "Notice of
Termination of Obligations"), the Senior Collateral Agent, (B) subsequent to the
delivery of a Notice of Termination of Obligations, the Subordinated Lien Agent
and (C) prior to delivery pursuant to Section 10(i) hereof of a Notice of Sole
Control substantially in the form of Exhibit B annexed hereto (the "Notice of
Sole Control"), the Grantor.
Section 3. "Financial Assets" Election. The Securities Intermediary hereby
agrees that each item of Investment Property credited to any Designated Account
shall be treated as a "financial asset" within the meaning of Section
8-102(a)(9) of the UCC.
Section 4. Entitlement Order. If at any time the Securities Intermediary
shall receive an "entitlement order" (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(8)
of the UCC) issued by the Senior Collateral Agent and relating to any financial
asset maintained in one or more of the Designated Accounts, the Securities
Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order without further consent by
the Grantor or any other person. If at any time the Securities Intermediary
shall receive an entitlement order from the Subordinated Lien Agent relating to
any financial asset maintained in one or more of the Designated Accounts, the
Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order without further
consent by the Grantor or any other person; provided, that unless the Bank shall
have received a Notice of Termination of
-3-
Obligations from the Senior Collateral Agent or the Subordinated Lien Agent, the
Bank shall not comply with such instructions from the Subordinated Lien Agent
without the prior written consent by the Senior Collateral Agent. The Securities
Intermediary shall also comply with instructions directing the Securities
Intermediary with respect to the sale, exchange or transfer of financial assets
held in each Designated Account originated by the Grantor, or any representative
of, or investment manager appointed by, the Grantor until such time as the
Securities Intermediary has received a Notice of Sole Control delivered pursuant
to Section 10(i).
Section 5. Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. The Securities
Intermediary hereby agrees that any security interest in any Designated Account
it now has or subsequently obtains shall be subordinate to the security interest
of each Collateral Agent. The financial assets and other items deposited to any
Designated Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker's lien, or
any other right in favor of any person other than the Senior Secured Parties and
the Subordinated Secured Parties (except that the Securities Intermediary may
set off all amounts due to the Securities Intermediary in respect of its
customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the
Designated Accounts, including overdraft fees and amounts advanced to settle
authorized transactions).
Section 6. Choice of Law. Both this Control Agreement and the Designated
Accounts shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Regardless of
any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be
deemed to be the Securities Intermediary's jurisdiction and the Designated
Accounts (as well as the security entitlements related thereto) shall be
governed by the laws of the State of New York.
Section 7. Conflict with Other Agreements; Amendments. As of the date
hereof, there are no other agreements entered into between the Securities
Intermediary and the Grantor with respect to any Designated Account or any
security entitlements or other financial assets credited thereto (other than
standard and customary documentation with respect to the establishment and
maintenance of such Designated Accounts). The Securities Intermediary and the
Grantor will not enter into any other agreement with respect to any Designated
Account unless the Collateral Agents shall have received prior written notice
thereof. The Securities Intermediary and the Grantor have not and will not enter
into any other agreement with respect to (i) creation or perfection of any
security interest in or (ii) control of security entitlements maintained in any
of the Designated Accounts or purporting to limit or condition the obligation of
the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders with respect to
financial assets credited to any Designated Account as set forth in Section 4
hereof without the prior written consent of each Collateral Agent acting in its
sole discretion. In the event of any conflict with respect to control over any
Designated Account between this Control Agreement (or any portion hereof) and
any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this
Control Agreement shall prevail. No amendment or modification of this Control
Agreement or waiver of any rights hereunder shall be binding on any party hereto
unless it is in writing and is signed by all the parties hereto.
-4-
Section 8. Certain Agreements.
(i) The Securities Intermediary has furnished to the Collateral Agents
the most recent account statement issued by the Securities Intermediary with
respect to each of the Designated Accounts and the financial assets and cash
balances held therein, identifying the financial assets held therein in a manner
acceptable to the Collateral Agents. Each such statement accurately reflects the
assets held in such Designated Account as of the date thereof.
(ii) The Securities Intermediary will, upon its receipt of each
supplement to the Security Agreement signed by the Grantor and identifying one
or more financial assets as "Pledged Collateral," enter into its records,
including computer records, with respect to each Designated Account a notation
with respect to any such financial asset so that such records and reports
generated with respect thereto identify such financial asset as "Pledged".
Section 9. Notice of Adverse Claims. Except for the claims and interest of
the Collateral Agents and of the Grantor in the financial assets maintained in
the Designated Account(s), the Securities Intermediary on the date hereof does
not know of any claim to, or security interest in, any Designated Account or in
any financial asset credited thereto and does not know of any claim that any
person other than the Collateral Agents have been given "control" (within the
meaning of Section 8-106 of the UCC) of any Designated Account or any such
financial asset. If the Securities Intermediary becomes aware that any person is
asserting any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ,
garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process or
any claim of control) against any of the financial assets maintained in any
Designated Account, the Securities Intermediary shall promptly notify the
Collateral Agents and the Grantor thereof.
Section 10. Maintenance of Designated Accounts. In addition to the
obligations of the Securities Intermediary in Section 4 hereof, the Securities
Intermediary agrees to maintain the Designated Accounts as follows:
(i) Notice of Sole Control. If at any time (a) the Senior Collateral
Agent, or (b) after delivery of a Notice of Termination of Obligations, the
Subordinated Lien Agent delivers to the Securities Intermediary a Notice of
Sole Control with respect to any Designated Account, the Securities
Intermediary agrees that, after receipt of such notice, it will take all
instructions with respect to such Designated Account solely from such
Collateral Agent and cease taking instructions from Grantor, including,
without limitation, instructions for investment, distribution or transfer
of any financial asset maintained in any Designated Account. Permitting
settlement of trades pending at the time of receipt of such notice shall
not constitute a violation of the immediately preceding sentence.
(ii) Voting Rights. Until such time as the Securities Intermediary
receives a Notice of Sole Control, the Grantor, or an investment manager on
behalf of the Grantor,
-5-
shall direct the Securities Intermediary with respect to the voting of any
financial assets credited to any Designated Account.
(iii) Statements and Confirmations. The Securities Intermediary will
send copies of all statements and other correspondence (excluding routine
confirmations) concerning any Designated Account or any financial assets
credited thereto simultaneously to each of the Grantor and the Collateral
Agents at the address set forth in Section 12 hereof. The Securities
Intermediary will provide to the applicable Collateral Agent, upon such
Collateral Agent's request therefor from time to time and, in any event, as
of the last business day of each calendar month, a statement of the market
value of each financial asset maintained in each Designated Account.
(iv) Bailee for Perfection. The Securities Intermediary acknowledges
that, in the event that it should come into possession of any certificate
representing any security or other assets (other than those that are
credited to any of the Designated Accounts and the certificate is in the
name of the Securities Intermediary or endorsed to the Securities
Intermediary in blank), the Securities Intermediary shall retain possession
of the same for the benefit of the Senior Collateral Agent, and the
Subordinated Lien Agent, and such act shall cause the Securities
Intermediary to be deemed a bailee for the Collateral Agents, if necessary
to perfect the Collateral Agents' security interests in such securities or
assets. The Securities Intermediary hereby acknowledges its receipt of a
copy of the Security Agreement and the Boeing Security Agreement, which
shall also serve as notice to the Securities Intermediary of a security
interest in collateral held by a bailee.
Section 11. Successors; Assignment. The terms of this Control Agreement
shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and
their respective corporate successors and permitted assignees.
Section 12. Notices. Any notice, request or other communication required or
permitted to be given under this Control Agreement shall be in writing and
deemed to have been properly given when delivered in person, or when sent by
telecopy or other electronic means and electronic confirmation of error free
receipt is received or two (2) days after being sent by certified or registered
United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the

obligations of the Securities Intermediary hereunder shall continue in effect
until (i) the security interests of the Senior Secured Parties and the
Subordinated Secured Parties with respect to the financial assets maintained in
the Designated Account(s) have been terminated and each Collateral Agent has
notified the Securities Intermediary of such termination in writing or (ii)
thirty days following the Securities Intermediary's delivery of written notice
of such termination to the Grantor and the Collateral Agents.

Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement,
other than those provisions held invalid or unenforceable, shall be construed in
all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable term or provision were omitted.
Section 15. Counterparts. This Control Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, all of which shall constitute one and the same
instrument, and any party hereto may execute this Control Agreement by signing
and delivering one or more counterparts.

Collateral Agents, the Grantor and the Bank are entering into this Control
Agreement to perfect each of the Senior Collateral Agent's and the Subordinated
Lien Agent's security interest in the Designated Accounts. As between the Senior
Collateral Agent and the Subordinated Lien Agent, the Senior Collateral Agent
shall have a first priority security
-2-
interest in the Designated Accounts and the Subordinated Lien Agent shall have a
second priority security interest in the Designated Accounts.
Section 2. Confirmation of Establishment and Maintenance of Designated
Accounts. The Bank hereby confirms and agrees that (i) the Bank has established
for the Grantor and maintains the deposit account(s) listed in Schedule 1
annexed hereto (the "Designated Accounts" and each a "Designated Account"), (ii)
each Designated Account will be maintained in the manner set forth herein until
termination of this Control Agreement, (iii) the Bank is a "bank," as such term
is defined in the UCC, (iv) this Control Agreement is the valid and legally
binding obligation of the Bank and (v) each Designated Account is a "deposit
account" as such term is defined in Article 9 of the UCC.
Section 3. Control. The Bank shall comply with instructions from the
Grantor directing the disposition of funds in one or more of the Designated
Accounts until such time as the Bank has received a Notice of Sole Control
substantially in the form of Exhibit B annexed hereto (the "Notice of Sole
Control") delivered pursuant to Section 9(i) hereof. Until such time as the Bank
has received a Notice of Sole Control, the Bank shall be entitled to distribute
to the Grantor all assets in the Designated Accounts. If at any time the Bank
shall receive any instructions originated by the Senior Collateral Agent
directing the disposition of funds in one or more of the Designated Accounts,
the Bank shall comply with such instructions without further consent by the
Grantor or any other person. If at any time the Bank shall receive any
instructions originated by the Subordinated Lien Collateral Agent directing the
disposition of funds in one or more of the Designated Accounts, the Bank shall
comply with such instructions without further consent by the Grantor; provided,
that unless the Bank shall have received a Notice of Termination of Obligations
substantially in the form of Exhibit A annexed hereto (the "Notice of
Termination of Obligations") from the Senior Collateral Agent, the Bank shall
not comply with such instructions from the Subordinated Lien Agent without the
prior written consent by the Senior Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the Bank shall receive
conflicting instructions from any Collateral Agent and the Grantor, the Bank
shall follow instructions of the Grantor and not the applicable Collateral Agent
prior to receipt by the Bank of a Notice of Sole Control delivered in accordance
with Section 9.1(i), and thereafter, shall follow the instructions of the
applicable Collateral Agent (subject to the consent rights of the other
Collateral Agent as set forth above) and not the Grantor.
Section 4. Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. The Bank hereby agrees
that any security interest in any Designated Account it now has or subsequently
obtains shall be subordinate to the security interest of each Collateral Agent.
The funds deposited into any Designated Account will not be subject to
deduction, set-off, banker's lien, or any other right in favor of any person
other than the Senior Secured Parties and the Subordinated Secured Parties
(except that the Bank may set off (i) all amounts due to the Bank in respect of
its customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the
Designated Accounts, including overdraft fees, and (ii) the face amount of any
checks or other items which have been credited to
-3-
any Designated Account but are subsequently returned unpaid because of
uncollected or insufficient funds).
Section 5. Choice of Law. Both this Control Agreement and the Designated
Account(s) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Regardless of
any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be
deemed to be the Bank's jurisdiction and the Designated Account(s) shall be
governed by the law of the State of New York.
Section 6. Conflict with Other Agreements; Amendments. As of the date
hereof, there are no other agreements entered into between the Bank and the
Grantor with respect to any Designated Account or any funds credited thereto
(other than standard and customary documentation with respect to the
establishment and maintenance of such Designated Accounts). The Bank and the
Grantor will not enter into any other agreement with respect to any Designated
Account unless the Collateral Agents shall have received prior written notice
thereof. The Bank and the Grantor have not and will not enter into any other
agreement with respect to control of the Designated Accounts or purporting to
limit or condition the obligation of the Bank to comply with any orders or
instructions with respect to any Designated Account as set forth in Section 2
hereof without the prior written consent of each Collateral Agent acting in its
sole discretion. In the event of any conflict with respect to control over any
Designated Account between this Control Agreement (or any portion hereof) and
any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this
Control Agreement shall prevail. No amendment or modification of this Control
Agreement or waiver of any right hereunder shall be binding on any party hereto
unless it is in writing and is signed by all the parties hereto.
Section 7. Certain Agreements. The Bank has furnished to the Collateral
Agents the most recent account statement issued by the Bank with respect to each
of the Designated Accounts and the cash balances held therein. Each such
statement accurately reflects the assets held in such Designated Account as of
the date thereof.
Section 8. Notice of Adverse Claims. Except for the claims and interest of
the Collateral Agents and of the Grantor in the Designated Account(s), the Bank
on the date hereof does not know of any claim to, or security interest in, any
Designated Account or in any funds credited thereto and does not know of any
claim that any person other than the Collateral Agents have been given control
(within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the UCC) of any Designated Account or
any such funds. If the Bank becomes aware that any person is asserting any lien,
encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant
of attachment, execution or similar process or any claim of control) against any
funds in any Designated Account, the Bank will promptly notify the Collateral
Agents and the Grantor thereof.
Section 9. Maintenance of Designated Accounts. In addition to the
obligations of the Bank in Section 3 hereof, the Bank agrees to maintain the
Designated Accounts as follows:
-4-
(i) Notice of Sole Control. If at any time any Collateral Agent
delivers to the Bank a Notice of Sole Control with respect to any
Designated Account, the Bank agrees that, after receipt of such notice, it
will take all instruction with respect to such Designated Account solely
from such Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement
and cease taking instructions from the Grantor, including, without
limitation, instructions for distribution or transfer of any funds in any
Designated Account; provided, that prior to delivery to the Bank of a
Notice of Termination of Obligations from the Senior Collateral Agent, any
Notice of Sole Control with respect to any Designated Account delivered to
the Bank must include the signature of the Senior Collateral Agent.
(ii) Statements and Confirmations. The Bank will send copies of all
statements and other correspondence (excluding routine confirmations)
concerning any Designated Account simultaneously to the Grantor and the
Collateral Agents at the address set forth in Section 11 hereof. The Bank
will promptly provide to the Collateral Agents, upon request therefor from
time to time and, in any event, as of the last business day of each
calendar month, a statement of the cash balance in each Designated Account.
The Bank shall not change the name or account number of any Designated
Account without the prior written consent of each Collateral Agent.
Section 10. Successors; Assignment. The terms of this Control Agreement
shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and
their respective corporate successors and permitted assignees.
Section 11. Notices. Any notice, request or other communication required or
permitted to be given under this Control Agreement shall be in writing and
deemed to have been properly given when delivered in person, or when sent by
telecopy or other electronic means and electronic confirmation of error free
receipt is received or two (2) days after being sent by certified or registered
United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the

neither by the bankruptcy of the Grantor nor by the lapse of time. The
obligations of the Bank hereunder shall continue in effect until (i) the
security interests of the Senior Secured Parties and the Subordinated Secured
Parties with respect to the Designated Account(s) have been terminated and the
Collateral Agents have notified the Bank of such termination in writing or (ii)
thirty days following the Bank's delivery of written notice of such termination
to the Collateral Agents and Grantor.

Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement,

Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2005 (as
amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
