been obtained. The Grantor agrees to use its commercially reasonable best
efforts to obtain any such required consent.
SECTION 2.2. Security for Obligations. This Security Agreement secures

granted to such Lender under any Loan Document (including this Security

Protection Agreements and the termination of all Commitments, the security
interest granted herein shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall
revert to the Grantor. Upon any such termination, the Administrative Agent
will, at the Grantor's sole expense, execute and deliver to the Grantor such
documents as the Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
Upon any sale or other transfer of Collateral permitted by the terms of Section
7.2.9 of the Credit Agreement, the security interest created hereunder in such

Party shall have any obligation or liability under any such contracts
or agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Security
Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any other Secured
Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the
Grantor
-7-
thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for
payment assigned hereunder.

Grantor will, at its own expense, notify any parties obligated on any
of the Collateral to make payment to the Administrative Agent of any
amounts due or to become due thereunder.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
SECTION 5.1. Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The
Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent the Grantor's
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Grantor and
in the name of the Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in the
Administrative Agent's discretion, following the occurrence and continuation of
a Default of the nature set forth in Section 8.1.9 of the Credit Agreement or
an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the
Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes
of this Security Agreement, including:
(a) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise,
receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become
due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;
(b) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other
instruments, documents and chattel paper, in connection with clause
(a) above;
-16-
(c) to file any claims or take any action or institute any
proceedings which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or
desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to
enforce the rights of the Administrative Agent with respect to any of
the Collateral; and
(d) to perform the affirmative obligations of the Grantor
hereunder (including all obligations of the Grantor pursuant to
Section 4.8).
The Grantor hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney
granted pursuant to this Section is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.
SECTION 5.2. Administrative Agent May Perform. If the Grantor fails to
perform any agreement contained herein, the Administrative Agent may itself
perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the
Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the
Grantor pursuant to Section 6.2.
SECTION 5.3. Administrative Agent Has No Duty. In addition to, and not
in limitation of, Section 2.4, the powers conferred on the Administrative Agent
hereunder are solely to protect its interest (on behalf of the Secured Parties)
in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such
powers. Except for reasonable care of any Collateral in its possession and the
accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Administrative
Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any
necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights
pertaining to any Collateral.
SECTION 5.4. Reasonable Care. The Administrative Agent is required to
exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the
Collateral in its possession; provided, however, the Administrative Agent shall
be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of
any of the Collateral, if it takes such action for that purpose as the Grantor
reasonably requests in writing at times other than upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Default, but failure of the
Administrative Agent to comply with any such request at any time shall not in
itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care.
ARTICLE VI
REMEDIES
SECTION 6.1. Certain Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing:
(a) The Administrative 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 on default under the U.C.C. (whether or not the U.C.C.
applies to the affected Collateral) and also may
-17-
(i) require the Grantor to, and the Grantor hereby
agrees that it will, at its expense and upon request of the
Administrative Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the
Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent and make
it available to the Administrative Agent at a place to be
designated by the Administrative Agent which is reasonably
convenient to both parties, and
(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 Administrative Agent's
offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future
delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative
Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Grantor agrees
that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law,
at least ten days' prior notice to the 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 Administrative Agent shall not be obligated
to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale
having been given. The Administrative 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.
(b) All cash proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in
respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon,
all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the
Administrative Agent against, all or any part of the Obligations as
follows:
(i) first, to the payment of any amounts payable to
the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.3 of the
Credit Agreement and Section 6.2;
(ii) second, to the equal and ratable payment of
Obligations, in accordance with each Secured Party's
Obligations owing to it under or pursuant to the Credit
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or under or pursuant to
any Hedging Obligation included in the Obligations as to each
Secured Party, applied
(A) first to fees and expense
reimbursements then due to such Secured Party,
(B) then to interest due to such Secured
Party,
(C) then to pay or prepay principal of the
Loans owing to, or to reduce the "credit exposure"
of, such Secured Party under such Hedging
Obligation, as the case may be, and
(D) then to pay the remaining outstanding
Obligations and cash collateralize all Letter of
Credit Outstandings;
-18-
(iii) third, without duplication of any amounts paid
pursuant to clause (b)(ii) above, to the Indemnified Parties
to the extent of any amounts owing pursuant to Section 11.4
of the Credit Agreement; and
(iv) fourth, to be held as additional collateral
security until the payment in full in cash of all of the
Obligations, the termination or expiration of all Letters of
Credit, the termination of all Rate Protection Agreements and
the termination of all Commitments, after which such
remaining cash proceeds shall be paid over to the Grantor or
to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such
surplus.
For purposes of this Security Agreement, the "credit exposure" at any
time of any Secured Party with respect to a Hedging Obligation to
which such Secured Party is a party shall be determined at such time
in accordance with the customary methods of calculating credit
exposure under similar arrangements by the counterparty to such
arrangements, taking into account potential interest rate movements
and the respective termination provisions and notional principal
amount and term of such Hedging Obligation.
SECTION 6.2. Indemnity and Expenses.
(a) The Grantor agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent
from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities arising
out of or resulting from this Security Agreement (including
enforcement of this Security Agreement), except claims, losses or
liabilities resulting from the Administrative Agent's gross negligence
or wilful misconduct.
(b) The Grantor will upon demand pay to the Administrative
Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the
reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel and of any experts
and agents, which the Administrative Agent may incur in connection
with
(i) the administration of this Security Agreement,
(ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of,
or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon,
any of the Collateral,
(iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the
rights of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties
hereunder, and
(iv) the failure by the Grantor to perform or
observe any of the provisions hereof.
