PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS.

this Agreement in order to grant to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit
of the Secured Parties a security interest in all of their personal property and

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan
Document, none of the following shall be subject to any lien arising or created
under any Collateral Document: (a) any funds collected by a Loan Party from
Participants held on behalf of bowling leagues or bowlers who are participating

the league or tournaments and returned to Participants at the end of the league
or the tournament, but excluding payments for bowling or other services sold by
the Loan Party ("Prize Funds"); (b) proceeds of any lottery ticket sales held by
the Grantor or its Subsidiaries ("Lottery Proceeds"); (c) funds representing
charitable donations held by the Grantor or its Subsidiaries on behalf of
charities ("Charity Funds" and, together with Prize Funds and Lottery Proceeds,
"Third Party Funds"). Each Loan Party shall maintain accurate accounts of all
Third Party Funds. To protect the integrity of Prize Funds, the Loan Parties
may establish and maintain escrow or trust accounts (the "League Accounts") with
banks or trust companies acceptable to the Collateral Agent (the "League
Trustees") for the benefit of Participants with whom the Loan Party has an
agreement in the form customarily used by a Loan Party (a "League Agreement").
The Loan Parties will use their best efforts to establish escrows or trust
accounts and to deposit Prize Funds promptly into such escrow or trust accounts.
For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any commingling, Third Party Funds
shall not be Collateral subject to any Lien arising or created under any
Collateral Document. Promptly following the establishment of the League
Account, the Borrower shall deliver a copy of any agreement entered into by a
Loan Party with the League Trustee with respect to the League Account or the
administration of amounts of deposit thereto.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document:
(i) unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, no Grantor shall be
required to make any filing or take any other action to create, perfect or
otherwise maintain any Lien under any Loan Document on any asset to the extent
that the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State
thereof or the District of Columbia are applicable to the creation, perfection
or maintenance of such Lien and (ii) no covenant, representation or warranty is
made in this Agreement or any Loan Document as to any matter referred to in the
foregoing clause (i). This Agreement and the Interim and Final Orders are
together intended to create a security interest in the Grantors' assets on
behalf of the Collateral Agent and the Loan Parties. To the extent that this
Agreement and the Interim and Final Orders are not effective in creating a lien
in one or more of the Grantors' assets that are not located in the United States
or not created under the laws of the United States or a State of the United
States, the effectiveness and validity of this Agreement with respect to the
Grantors' other assets shall not be affected.
Section 2. Security for Obligations. (a) This Agreement secures, in
------------------------
the case of each Grantor, the payment of all Obligations of such Grantor now or
hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, whether direct or indirect,
absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, reimbursement obligations,
interest, fees, premiums, penalties, indemnifications, contract causes of
action, costs, expenses or otherwise (all such Obligations being the "Secured
Obligations").
9
(b) This Agreement shall, in the case of each Grantor that is a debtor
in a Case, be subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
Section 3. Grantors Remain Liable. Anything herein to the contrary
----------------------
notwithstanding, (a) subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy
Code, each Grantor shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements
included in such Grantor's Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform
all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this
Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any
of the rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its duties or
obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral (as
such duties or obligations may be modified or terminated pursuant to the
applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code) and (c) no Secured Party shall
have any obligation or liability under the contracts and agreements included in
the Collateral by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor shall
any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of
any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for
payment assigned hereunder.
Section 4. Perfection and Priority of Security Interests, Mortgages
--------------------------------------------------------------------
and Liens. At the request of the Collateral Agent, the Grantors shall execute
---------
and deliver to the Lenders documentation satisfactory to the Lenders evidencing
the security interests, charges, mortgages and liens granted hereby and
providing for the perfection of such security interests, mortgages and liens,
and the automatic stay provisions of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code (if and
to the extent applicable) are modified pursuant to the Interim Order to permit
the execution, delivery and filing of such documentation; provided, however
that no such documentation or any action on the part of any Loan Party or the
Collateral Agent shall be required as a condition to the validity,
enforceability, priority or perfection of any of the security interests,
charges, mortgages or liens created pursuant to this Agreement which security
interests, charges, mortgages and liens shall, pursuant to sections 364(c) and
364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, be deemed valid, enforceable and properly
perfected at all times from and after entry of the Interim Order and the Final
Order, as applicable and to the extent the creation, validity, enforceability,
priority or perfection is effective with respect to assets located outside the
United States or controlled by laws other than the laws of the United States or
any State of the United States. The claims arising under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents shall constitute, in accordance with section 364(c)(1) of
the Bankruptcy Code, (if and to the extent possible) allowed administrative
expense claims having priority over all administrative expenses of the kind
specified in sections 503(b) or 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code in accordance with
the terms of the Credit Agreement and, the Interim Order and the Final Order, as
applicable. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, such priority and security interests, charges, mortgages and liens
shall be subject to the Carve-Out.
Section 5. Delivery and Control of Security Collateral. (a) All
-------------------------------------------
existing certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Security
Collateral shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Collateral
Agent pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or
shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in
blank, all in form and substance satisfactory
10
to the Collateral Agent and shall deliver to the Grantor on or prior to the
Closing Date acknowledgment of such delivery and receipt of such certificates.
To the extent any certificate or instrument representing Security Collateral is
in the possession of Citibank, Citibank shall cause such certificate or
instrument to be delivered to the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall
have the right, at any time in its discretion and without notice to any Grantor,
to transfer to or to register in the name of the Collateral Agent or any of its
nominees any or all of the Security Collateral, subject only to the revocable
rights specified in Section 16(a). In addition, the Collateral Agent shall have
the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or
evidencing Security Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or
larger denominations. Also, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to convert Security Collateral
consisting of financial assets credited to the Securities Account to Security
Collateral consisting of financial assets held directly by the Collateral Agent,
and to convert Security Collateral consisting of financial assets held directly
by the Collateral Agent to Security Collateral consisting of financial assets
credited to the Securities Account.
(b) With respect to any Security Collateral in which any Grantor has
any right, title or interest and that constitutes an uncertificated security,
such Grantor will, upon request of the Collateral Agent, cause the issuer
thereof either (i) to register the Collateral Agent as the registered owner of
such security or (ii) to agree in writing with such Grantor and the Collateral
Agent that such issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such
security originated by the Collateral Agent without further consent of such
Grantor, such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent.
(c) With respect to any Security Collateral in which any Grantor has
any right, title or interest and that constitutes a security entitlement, such
Grantor will, upon request of the Collateral Agent, cause the securities
intermediary with respect to such security entitlement either (i) to identify in
its records the Collateral Agent as the entitlement holder of such security
entitlement against such securities intermediary or (ii) to agree in writing
with such Grantor and the Collateral Agent that such securities intermediary
will comply with entitlement orders (that is, notifications communicated to such
securities intermediary directing transfer or redemption of the financial asset
to which such Grantor has a security entitlement) originated by the Collateral
Agent without further consent of such Grantor, such agreement to be in form and
substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (such agreement being a
"Securities Account Control Agreement").
(d) No Grantor will change or add any securities intermediary or
commodity intermediary that maintains any securities account or commodity
account in which any of the Collateral is credited or carried, or change or add
any such securities account or commodity account, in each case without first
complying with the above provisions of this Section 5 in order to perfect the
security interest granted hereunder in such Collateral.
11
Section 6. Maintaining the Concentration Accounts and the L/C
--------------------------------------------------
Cash Collateral Account. So long as any Advance shall remain unpaid, any Letter
-----------------------
of Credit shall be outstanding or any Lender Party shall have any Commitment
under the Credit Agreement:
(a) The Borrower will maintain the Concentration Accounts and,
after the Effective Date upon request of the Collateral Agent, will open
and thereafter maintain the L/C Cash Collateral Account with Citibank or
another commercial bank acceptable to the Collateral Agent.
(b) It shall be a term and condition of the L/C Cash Collateral
Account, notwithstanding any term or condition to the contrary in any other
agreement relating to the L/C Cash Collateral Account and except as
otherwise provided by the provisions of Section 9 and Section 21, that no
amount (including interest on Cash Equivalents credited thereto) shall be
paid or released to or for the account of, or withdrawn by or for the
account of, the Borrower or any other Person from the L/C Cash Collateral
Account.
The Concentration Accounts and the L/C Cash Collateral Account shall be
subject to such applicable laws, and such applicable regulations of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and of any other
appropriate banking or governmental authority, as may now or hereafter be
in effect.
Section 7. Investing of Amounts in the L/C Cash Collateral
-----------------------------------------------
Account. If requested by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent will direct Citibank
-------
to, subject to the provisions of Sections 9 and 21, from time to time (a) invest
amounts on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account in such Cash Equivalents
in the name of the Collateral Agent or as to which all action required by
Section 11 shall have been taken as the Borrower may select and the Collateral
Agent may approve and (b) invest interest paid on the Cash Equivalents referred
to in clause (a) above, and reinvest other proceeds of any such Cash Equivalents
that may mature or be sold, in each case in such Cash Equivalents in the name of
the Collateral Agent or as to which all actions required by Section 11 shall
have been taken as the Borrower may select and the Collateral Agent may approve
(the Cash Equivalents referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above being
collectively "Collateral Investments"). Interest and proceeds that are not
----------------------
invested or reinvested in Collateral Investments as provided above shall be
deposited and held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account.
Section 8. Maintenance of Cash Management System and the Blocked
-----------------------------------------------------
Accounts. (a) The Borrower shall continue to maintain a cash management system

protect such Material Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without
limitation, suing for infringement or misappropriation and for an injunction

such Grantor by the Collateral Agent, cease and (y) to receive the
dividends, interest and other distributions that it would otherwise be
authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 16(a)(ii) shall
automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in
the Collateral Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise
or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and to
receive and hold as Security Collateral such dividends, interest and other
distributions.
(ii) All dividends, interest and other distributions that are
received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (i) of this
Section 16(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral
Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be
forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent as Security Collateral in the
same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
(iii) The Collateral Agent shall be authorized to send to each
Securities Intermediary as defined in and under any Control Agreement a
Notice of Exclusive Control as defined in and under such Control Agreement.
Section 17. Transfers and Other Liens; Additional Shares. (a)
--------------------------------------------
Each Grantor agrees that it will not (i) sell, assign or otherwise dispose
of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, other than
sales, assignments and other dispositions of Collateral, and options
relating to Collateral, permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement,
or (ii) create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of
the Collateral of such Grantor except for the pledge, assignment and
security interest created under this Agreement and Liens permitted under
the Credit Agreement.
(b) Each Grantor agrees that it will (i) cause each issuer of
the Pledged Shares pledged by such Grantor not to issue any stock or other
securities in addition to or in substitution for the Pledged Shares issued
by such issuer, except to such Grantor, and (ii) pledge hereunder,
immediately upon its acquisition (directly or indirectly) thereof, any and
all additional shares of stock or other securities of each issuer of the
Pledged Shares.
Section 18. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each
-------------------------------------------
Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent such Grantor's
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such
Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time,
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, in the
Collateral Agent's discretion, to take any action and to execute any
instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation:
24
(a) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the
Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 13,
(b) to ask for, 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,
(c) to receive, indorse and collect any drafts or other
instruments, documents and chattel paper, in connection with clause
(a) or (b) above, and
(d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any
proceedings that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable
for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce
compliance with the terms and conditions of any Assigned Agreement or
the rights of the Collateral Agent with respect to any of the
Collateral.
Section 19. Collateral Agent May Perform. If any Grantor fails
----------------------------
to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may, but
without any obligation to do so and without notice, itself perform, or
cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral
Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor
under Section 22(b).
Section 20. The Collateral Agent's Duties. (a) The powers
-----------------------------
conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the
Secured Parties' interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty
upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any
Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually
received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any
Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls,
conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to
any Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has or is deemed to have
knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to
preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any
Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its
possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to
that which it accords its own property.
(b) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Collateral Agent may from time to time, when the Collateral Agent deems
it to be necessary, appoint one or more subagents (each a "Subagent") for
the Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to all or any part of the
Collateral. In the event that the Collateral Agent so appoints any Subagent
with respect to any Collateral, (i) the assignment and pledge of such
Collateral and the security interest granted in such Collateral by each
Grantor hereunder shall be deemed for purposes of this Security Agreement
to have been made to such Subagent, in addition to the Collateral Agent,
for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Secured
Obligations of such Grantor, (ii) such Subagent shall automatically be
vested, in addition to the Collateral Agent, with all rights, powers,
privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder with
25
respect to such Collateral, and (iii) the term "Collateral Agent," when
used herein in relation to any rights, powers, privileges, interests and
remedies of the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral, shall
include such Subagent; provided, however, that no such Subagent shall be
authorized to take any action with respect to any such Collateral unless
and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Collateral
Agent.
Section 21. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have
--------
occurred and be continuing:
(a) The Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the
Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for
herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a
secured party upon default under the N.Y. Uniform Commercial Code
(whether or not the N.Y. Uniform Commercial Code applies to the
affected Collateral) and also may: (i) require each Grantor to, and
each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon
request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the
Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available
to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the
Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii)
without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any
part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any
of the Collateral Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or
for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent
may deem commercially reasonable; (iii) occupy any premises owned or
leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof
is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate
its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to
such Grantor in respect of such occupation; and (iv) exercise any and
all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection
with the Assigned Agreements, the Receivables and the Related
Contracts or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including,
without limitation, any and all rights of such Grantor to demand or
otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any
provision of, the Assigned Agreements, the Receivables and the Related
Contracts. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale
shall be required by law, at least ten days' notice to such Grantor of
the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any
private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.
The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of
Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The
Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to
time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such
sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to
which it was so adjourned. To the extent that any rights and remedies
under this Section 21 would otherwise be in violation of the automatic
stay of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, such stay shall be deemed
modified, as set forth in the Interim Order or the Final Order, as
applicable, to the extent necessary to permit the Collateral Agent to
exercise such rights and remedies.
(b) Any cash held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and all
cash proceeds received by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent in
respect of any sale of,
26
collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the
Collateral may, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, be held by
the Collateral Agent as collateral for, and/or then or at any time
thereafter applied in whole or in part by the Collateral Agent for the
ratable benefit of the Secured Parties against, all or any part of the
Secured Obligations, in the following manner:
(i) first, to the payment of all of the fees,
indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and

aggregate amounts of all such fees, indemnification payments,
costs and expenses owing to the Agents on such date;

of all such indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to
the Lenders on such date;
(iv) fourth, to the payment of all of the amounts that are
due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender
Parties under Sections 2.10 and 2.12 of the Credit Agreement on

thereof owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties
on such date;
(v) fifth, to the payment of all of the fees that are due
and payable to the Lenders under Section 2.08(a) of the Credit
Agreement on such date, ratably based upon the respective
aggregate Commitments of the Lenders under the Facilities on such
date;
(vi) sixth, to the payment of all of the accrued and unpaid
interest on the Obligations of the Borrower under or in respect
of the Loan Documents that is due and payable to the
Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Section 2.07(b)
of the Credit Agreement on such date, ratably based upon the
respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the
Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;
27
(vii) seventh, to the payment of all of the accrued and
unpaid interest on the Advances that is due and payable to the
Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Section 2.07(a)
of the Credit Agreement on such date, ratably based upon the

Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;
(viii) eighth, to the payment of the principal amount of all
of the outstanding Advances that is due and payable to the
Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date, ratably

owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such
date; and
(ix) ninth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the
Loan Parties owing under or in respect of the Loan Documents that
are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the other
Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective
aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date.
Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by or on the behalf of the
Collateral Agent and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured
Obligations shall be paid over to the applicable Grantor or to whomsoever
may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
(c) All payments received by any Grantor under or in connection
with any Assigned Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Collateral shall
be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be
segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid
over to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any
necessary indorsement).
(d) The Collateral Agent may, without notice to any Grantor
except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge,
set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations
against any funds held in the L/C Collateral Account or in any deposit
account related thereto.
(e) In the event of any sale or other disposition of any of the
Intellectual Property Collateral of any Grantor, the goodwill of the
business connected with and symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such
sale or other disposition shall be included therein, and such Grantor shall
supply to the Collateral Agent or its designee such Grantor's know-how and
expertise, and documents and things relating to any Intellectual Property
Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition, and such Grantor's
customer lists and other records and documents relating to such
Intellectual Property Collateral and to the manufacture, distribution,
advertising and sale of products and services of such Grantor.
28
(f) If the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right
to sell all or any of the Security Collateral of any Grantor pursuant to
this Section 21, each Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Collateral
Agent, such Grantor will, at its own expense:
(i) execute and deliver, and use its best efforts to cause
each issuer of such Security Collateral contemplated to be sold
and the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver,
all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done
all such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the
opinion of the Collateral Agent, advisable to register such
Security Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act of
1933 (as amended from time to time, the "Securities Act"), to
cause the registration statement relating thereto to become
effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses
are required by law to be furnished and to make all amendments
and supplements thereto and to the related prospectus that, in
the opinion of the Collateral 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;
(ii) use its best efforts to qualify the Security
Collateral under the state securities or "Blue Sky" laws and to
obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of such
Security Collateral, as requested by the Collateral Agent;
(iii) cause each such issuer of such Security Collateral to
make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable,
an earnings statement that will satisfy the provisions of Section
11(a) of the Securities Act;
(iv) provide the Collateral Agent with such other
information and projections as may be necessary or, in the
opinion of the Collateral Agent, advisable to enable the
Collateral Agent to effect the sale of such Security Collateral;
and
(v) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things
as may be necessary to make such sale of such Security Collateral
or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with
applicable law.
(g) The Collateral Agent is authorized, in connection with any
sale of the Security Collateral pursuant to this Section 21, to
deliver or otherwise disclose to any prospective purchaser of the
Security Collateral: (i) any registration statement or prospectus, and
all supplements and amendments thereto, prepared pursuant to
subsection (f)(i) above; (ii) any information and projections provided
to it pursuant to subsection (f)(iv) above; and (iii) any other
information in its possession relating to such Security Collateral.
29
(h) Each Grantor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining
the amount of damages that would be suffered by the Secured Parties by
reason of the failure by such Grantor to perform any of the covenants
contained in subsection (f) above and, consequently, agrees that, if
such Grantor shall fail to perform any of such covenants, it will pay,
as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the
value of the Security Collateral on the date the Collateral Agent
shall demand compliance with subsection (f) above.
Section 22. Indemnity and Expenses. (a) Each Grantor agrees to
----------------------
indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Secured Party and each of
their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and
advisors (each, an "Indemnified Party") from and against, and shall pay on
demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that
may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each
case arising out of or in connection with or resulting from this Agreement
(including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the
extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-
appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from
such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(b) Each Grantor will upon demand pay to the Collateral Agent the
amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that
the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this
Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of,
collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral of such
Grantor, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the
Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties hereunder or (iv) the failure by
such Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
Section 23. Amendments; Waivers; Additional Grantors; Etc. (a) No
---------------------------------------------
amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any
departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent and, in the case of
an amendment, by each Grantor affected thereby, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose
for which given. No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other
Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder, shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right.
(b) Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a security
agreement supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a
"Security Agreement Supplement"), (i) such Person shall be referred to as an
"Additional Grantor" and shall be and become a Grantor hereunder and each
reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to "Grantor" shall also
mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, and (ii) the supplemental
schedules I, II, III, IV, V and VI attached to each Security Agreement
Supplement shall be incorporated into and
30
become a part of and supplement Schedules I, II, III, IV, V and VI,
respectively, hereto, and the Collateral Agent may attach such supplemental
schedules to such Schedules; and each reference to such Schedules shall mean and
be a reference to such Schedules as supplemented pursuant to each Security
Agreement Supplement.
Section 24. Notices; Etc. All notices and other communications
------------
provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telegraphic, telecopier or
telex communication) and mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, telexed or delivered
to, in the case of the Borrower or the Collateral Agent, addressed to it at its
address specified in the Credit Agreement and, in the case of each Grantor other
than the Borrower, addressed to it at its address set forth opposite such
Grantor's name on the signature pages hereto or on the signature page to the
Security Agreement Supplement pursuant to which it became a party hereto; or, as
to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a
written notice to the other parties. All such notices and other communications
shall, when mailed, telegraphed, telecopied or telexed, be effective when
deposited in the mails, delivered to the telegraph company, telecopied or
confirmed by telex answerback, respectively, addressed as aforesaid; except that
notices and other communications to the Collateral Agent shall not be effective
until received by the Collateral Agent. Delivery by telecopier of an executed
counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of
any Security Agreement Supplement or Schedule hereto shall be effective as
delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof.
Section 25. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments under the
---------------------------------------------------
Credit Agreement. This Agreement and the Interim Order and the Final Order, as
----------------
applicable, shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and
shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the latest of (i) the payment in
full in cash of the Secured Obligations, (ii) the Termination Date and (iii) the
termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit (unless such Letters of
Credit are cash collateralized in accordance with the provisions of the Credit
Agreement), (b) be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns and (c)
inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder,
to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors,
transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause
(c), any Lender Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its
rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (including, without
limitation, all or any portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and
the Note or Notes, if any, held by it) to any other Person, and such other
Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof
granted to such Lender Party herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in
Section 9.07 of the Credit Agreement.
Section 26. Release; Termination. (a) Upon any sale, lease,
--------------------
transfer or other disposition of any item of Collateral of any Grantor in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents (other than sales of Inventory
in the ordinary course of business), the Collateral Agent will, at such
Grantor's expense, execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such
Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of
Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted hereby; provided,
however, that (i) at the time of such request and such release no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) such Grantor shall have
delivered to the Collateral
31
Agent, at least ten Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release, a
written request for release describing the item of Collateral and the terms of
the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition in reasonable detail, including,
without limitation, the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith,
together with a form of release for execution by the Collateral Agent and a
certificate of such Grantor to the effect that the transaction is in compliance
with the Loan Documents and as to such other matters as the Collateral Agent may
request and (iii) the proceeds of any such sale, lease, transfer or other
disposition required to be applied, or any payment to be made in connection
therewith, in accordance with Section 2.06 of the Credit Agreement shall, to the
extent so required, be paid or made to, or in accordance with the instructions
of, the Collateral Agent when and as required under Section 2.06 of the Credit
Agreement.
(b) Upon the latest of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Secured
Obligations, (ii) the Termination Date and (iii) the termination or expiration
of all Letters of Credit (unless such Letters of Credit are cash collateralized
in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement), the pledge,
assignment and security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights
to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Grantor. Upon any such
termination, the Collateral Agent will, at the applicable Grantor's expense,
execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall
reasonably request to evidence such termination.
Section 27. Security Interest Absolute. The obligations of each
--------------------------
Grantor under this Agreement are independent of the Secured Obligations or any
other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan
Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted
against each Grantor to enforce this Agreement, irrespective of whether any
action is brought against such Grantor or any other Loan Party or whether such
Grantor or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. All
rights of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and the pledge,
assignment and security interest hereunder, and all obligations of each Grantor
hereunder, shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and
each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives (to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law) any defenses it may now have or may hereafter acquire in any way
relating to, any or all of the following:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any
other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any
other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other
Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan
Documents or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any
departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any
increase in the Secured Obligations resulting from the extension of
additional credit to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or
otherwise;
32
(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral
or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of
or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured
Obligations;
(d) any manner of application of any Collateral or any other
collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Secured Obligations,
or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other
collateral for all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other
Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan
Documents or any other assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;
(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate
structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;
(f) any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any
information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise),
operations, performance, assets, nature of assets, liabilities or prospects
of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to such Secured Party (each
Grantor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose
such information);
(g) the failure of any other Person to execute this Agreement or any
other Collateral Document, guaranty or agreement or the release or
reduction of liability of any Grantor or other grantor or surety with
respect to the Secured Obligations; or
(h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute
of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by
any Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to,
or a discharge of, such Grantor or any other Grantor or a third party
grantor of a security interest.
This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may
be, if at any time any payment of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or
must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or by any other Person upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Party or otherwise, all as
though such payment had not been made.
Section 28. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed
-------------------------
in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to
be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
agreement. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of a signature page
to this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an original executed
counterpart of this Agreement.

-------------
hereunder is also subject to a valid and enforceable Lien under the terms of any
Mortgage and the terms of such Mortgage are inconsistent with the terms of this
Agreement, then with respect to such Collateral, the terms of such Mortgage
shall be controlling in the case of fixtures and real estate leases, letting and
licenses of, and contracts and
33
agreements relating to the lease of, real property, and the terms of this
Agreement shall be controlling in the case of all other Collateral.

-------------
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York and, to the

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to (i) the Senior Secured Priming Debtor-In-
Possession Credit Agreement dated as of July 3, 2001 (as amended, amended and
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit
Agreement"), among AMF Bowling Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as the
Borrower, AMF Group Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as the Parent
Guarantor, each a debtor and debtor in possession under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Lender Parties party thereto,
Citibank, N.A., as collateral agent (together with any successor collateral
agent appointed pursuant to Article VIII of the Credit Agreement, the
"Collateral Agent"), and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent for the Lender
Parties, and (ii) the Security Agreement dated July 3, 2001 (as amended, amended
and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
"Security Agreement") made by the Grantors from time to time party thereto in
favor of the Collateral Agent for the Secured Parties. Terms defined in the
Credit Agreement or the Security Agreement and not otherwise defined herein are
used herein as defined in the Credit Agreement or the Security Agreement.
Section 1. Grant of Security. (a) The undersigned hereby assigns and
-----------------
pledges to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties,
and hereby grants to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured
Parties, a security interest in, all of its right, title and interest in and to
all of the Collateral of the undersigned, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired by the undersigned, wherever located and whether now or hereafter
existing or arising, including, without limitation, the property and assets of
the undersigned set forth on the attached supplemental schedules to the
Schedules to the Security Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan
Document, none of the following shall be subject to any lien arising or created
under any
2
Collateral Document: (a) any funds collected by a Loan Party from Participants
held on behalf of bowling leagues or bowlers who are participating in bowling
leagues or bowling tournaments ("Participants") during the term of the league or
tournaments and returned to Participants at the end of the league or the
tournament, but excluding payments for bowling or other services sold by the
Loan Party ("Prize Funds"); (b) proceeds of any lottery ticket sales held by the
Grantor or its Subsidiaries ("Lottery Proceeds"); (c) funds representing
charitable donations held by the Grantor or its Subsidiaries on behalf of
charities ("Charity Funds" and, together with Prize Funds and Lottery Proceeds,
"Third Party Funds"). Each Loan Party shall maintain accurate accounts of all
Third Party Funds. To protect the integrity of Prize Funds, the Loan Parties may
establish and maintain escrow or trust accounts (the "League Accounts") with
banks or trust companies acceptable to the Collateral Agent (the "League
Trustees") for the benefit of Participants with whom the Loan Party has an
agreement in the form customarily used by a Loan Party (a "League Agreement").
The Loan Parties will use their best efforts to establish escrows or trust
accounts and to deposit Prize Funds promptly into such escrow or trust accounts.
For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any commingling, Third Party Funds
shall not be Collateral subject to any Lien arising or created under any
Collateral Document. Promptly following the establishment of the League Account,
the Borrower shall deliver a copy of any agreement entered into by a Loan Party
with the League Trustee with respect to the League Account or the administration
of amounts of deposit thereto.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document: (i)
unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, no Grantor shall be required to
make any filing or take any other action to create, perfect or otherwise
maintain any Lien under any Loan Document on any asset to the extent that the
laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof or
the District of Columbia are applicable to the creation, perfection or
maintenance of such Lien and (ii) no covenant, representation or warranty is
made in this Agreement as to any matter referred to in the foregoing clause (i).
This Agreement and the Interim and Final Orders are together intended to create
a security interest in the Grantors' assets on behalf of the Collateral Agent
and the Loan Parties. To the extent that this Agreement and the Interim and
Final Orders are not effective in creating a lien in one or more of the
Grantors' assets that are not located in the United States or not created under
the laws of the United States or any State of the United States, the
effectiveness and validity of this Agreement with respect to the Grantors' other
assets shall not be affected.
Section 2. Security for Obligations. The pledge and assignment of, and
------------------------
the grant of a security interest in, the Collateral by the undersigned under
this Security Agreement Supplement and the Security Agreement secures the
payment of all Obligations of the undersigned now or hereafter existing under or
in respect of the Loan Documents, whether direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, and whether for principal, reimbursement obligations, interest,
premiums, penalties, fees, indemnifications, contract causes of action, costs,
expenses or otherwise.
Section 3. Supplements to Security Agreement Schedules. The
-------------------------------------------
undersigned has attached hereto supplemental Schedules I, II, III, IV, V and VI
to Schedules I, II, III, IV, V and VI, respectively, to the Security Agreement,
and the undersigned hereby certifies, as of the date first above written, that
such supplemental schedules have been prepared by the undersigned
3
in substantially the form of the equivalent Schedules to the Security Agreement
and are complete and correct in all material respects.
Section 4. Representations and Warranties. The undersigned hereby
------------------------------
makes each representation and warranty set forth in Section 10 of the Security
Agreement (as supplemented by the attached supplemental schedules) to the same
extent as each other Grantor.
Section 5. Obligations Under the Security Agreement. The undersigned
----------------------------------------
hereby agrees, as of the date first above written, to be bound as a Grantor by
all of the terms and provisions of the Security Agreement to the same extent as
each of the other Grantors. The undersigned further agrees, as of the date first
above written, that each reference in the Security Agreement to an "Additional
Grantor" or a "Grantor" shall also mean and be a reference to the undersigned.
Section 6. Governing Law. This Security Agreement Supplement shall be
-------------
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York
and, to the extent applicable, the Bankruptcy Code.
Very truly yours,
