the Receivables, except as could not reasonably be expected to have Material Adverse
Effect;
(ii) it shall not amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of any Receivable in
any manner which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Other
than in the ordinary course of business as generally conducted by it on and prior to the
date hereof and, except as otherwise provided in subsection (v) below, following an Event
of Default, such Grantor shall not (w) grant any extension or renewal of the time of
payment of any Receivable, (x) compromise or settle any dispute, claim or legal proceeding
with respect to any Receivable for less than the total unpaid balance thereof, (y) release,

(iii) except as otherwise provided in this subsection, each Grantor shall during the
continuance of an Event of Default take such action as such Grantor or the Collateral Agent
may deem reasonably necessary to exercise all material rights it may have under
Receivables. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right at
any time during the continuance of an Event of Default to notify, or require any Grantor to
notify, any Account Debtor of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Receivables
and any Supporting Obligation and, in addition, at any time following the occurrence and
during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may: (1) direct the
Account Debtors under any Receivables to make payment of all amounts due or to become due
to such Grantor thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent; (2) notify, or require any
Grantor to notify, each Person maintaining a lockbox or similar arrangement to which
Account Debtors under any Receivables have been directed to make payment to remit all
amounts representing collections on checks and other payment items from time to time sent
to or deposited in such lockbox or other arrangement directly to the Collateral Agent; and
(3) enforce, at the expense of such Grantor, collection of any such Receivables and to
adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the
same extent as such Grantor might have done. If the Collateral Agent notifies any Grantor
that it has elected to collect the Receivables in accordance with the preceding sentence,
any payments of Receivables
16
received by such Grantor shall be forthwith (and in any event within two (2)
Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such
Grantor to the Collateral Agent if required, in the Collateral Account maintained under the
sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent, and until so turned over, all amounts
and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by such Grantor in respect
of the Receivables, any Supporting Obligation or Collateral Support shall be received in
trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder and shall be segregated from other
funds of such Grantor and, subject to paragraph (i) above, such Grantor shall not adjust,
settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable, or release wholly or partly
any Account Debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon; and
(iv) it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep in full force and effect
any Supporting Obligation or Collateral Support relating to any Receivable.
(c) Delivery and Control of Receivables. With respect to any Receivables in excess of
$1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the aggregate that is evidenced by, or constitutes,
Chattel Paper or Instruments, each Grantor shall cause each originally executed copy thereof to be
delivered to the Collateral Agent (or its agent or designee) appropriately indorsed to the
Collateral Agent or indorsed in blank: (i) with respect to any such Receivables in existence on
the date hereof, on or prior to the date hereof and (ii) with respect to any such Receivables
hereafter arising, within ten (10) Business Days of such Grantor acquiring rights therein. With
respect to any Receivables in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the aggregate
which would constitute “electronic chattel paper” under Article 9 of the UCC, each Grantor shall
take all steps necessary to give the Collateral Agent control over such Receivables (within the
meaning of Section 9-105 of the UCC): (i) with respect to any such Receivables in existence on the
date hereof, on or prior to the date hereof and (ii) with respect to any such Receivables hereafter
arising, within ten (10) days of such Grantor acquiring rights therein. Any Receivable not
otherwise required to be delivered or subjected to the control of the Collateral Agent in
accordance with this subsection (c) shall be delivered or subjected to such control upon request of
the Collateral Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default.
4.4 Investment Related Property.
4.4.1 Investment Related Property Generally
(a) Covenants and Agreements. Each Grantor covenants and agrees that until payment in
full of all Obligations (other than unmatured contingent obligations), the cancellation or
termination of all Commitments, the expiration or termination of the Swap Agreement, all Hedge
Agreements and all agreements for Specified Secured Hedge Indebtedness and the cancellation or
expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit:
(i) in the event it acquires rights in any Investment Related Property, with a value
in excess of $1,000,000 (except with respect to Pledged Equity Interests) after the date
hereof, it shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a completed Pledge Supplement,
substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, together with all Supplements to
Schedules thereto, reflecting such new Investment Related Property and all other Investment
Related Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood
and agreed that the security interest of the Collateral Agent shall attach to all
Investment Related Property immediately upon any Grantor’s acquisition of rights therein
and shall
17
not be affected by the failure of any Grantor to deliver a supplement to Schedule
4.4 as required hereby;
(ii) except as provided in the next sentence, in the event such Grantor receives any
dividends, interest or distributions on any Investment Related Property, or any securities
or other property upon the merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of any issuer
of any Investment Related Property, then (a) such dividends, interest or distributions and
securities or other property shall be included in the definition of Collateral without
further action and (b) such Grantor shall within ten (10) Business Days take all steps, if
any, necessary or advisable to ensure the validity, perfection, priority and, if
applicable, control of the Collateral Agent over such Investment Related Property
(including, without limitation, delivery thereof to the Collateral Agent) and pending any
such action such Grantor shall be deemed to hold such dividends, interest, distributions,
securities or other property in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall
segregate such dividends, distributions, Securities or other property from all other
property of such Grantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent authorizes each Grantor to
retain all cash dividends and distributions and all payments of interest and principal; and
(iii) each Grantor consents to the grant by each other Grantor of a Security Interest
in all Investment Related Property to the Collateral Agent.
(b) Delivery and Control.
(i) Each Grantor agrees that with respect to any Investment Related Property in which
it currently has rights and which is included in the Collateral it shall comply with the
provisions of this Section 4.4.1(b) on or before the Credit Date and with respect to any
Investment Related Property hereafter acquired by such Grantor and which is included in the
Collateral, it shall comply with the provisions of this Section 4.4.1(b) within (10)
Business Days upon acquiring rights therein, in each case in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. With respect to any Investment Related Property that
is represented by a certificate or that is an “instrument” with the value in excess of
$1,000,000 (other than any Investment Related Property credited to a Securities Account)
and which is included in the Collateral, it shall cause such certificate or instrument to
be delivered to the Collateral Agent, indorsed in blank by an “effective indorsement” (as
defined in Section 8-107 of the UCC), regardless of whether such certificate constitutes a
“certificated security” for purposes of the UCC. With respect to any Investment Related
Property that is an “uncertificated security” for purposes of the UCC (other than any
“uncertificated securities” credited to a Securities Account) and which is included in the
Collateral, it shall cause the issuer of such uncertificated security to either (i)
register the Collateral Agent as the registered owner thereof on the books and records of
the issuer or (ii) execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto,
pursuant to which such issuer agrees to comply with the Collateral Agent’s instructions
with respect to such uncertificated security (such instructions only to be given upon an
Event of Default that is continuing in accordance with Section 7 hereof) without further
consent by such Grantor.
(c) Voting and Distributions.
18
(i) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
|
(1) |
|
except as otherwise provided under the covenants and agreements relating to
Investment Related Property in this Agreement or elsewhere herein or in the First Lien
Credit Documents, each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise or refrain from
exercising any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Investment
Related Property or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms
of this Agreement or the First Lien Credit Documents; |
|
|
(2) |
|
the Collateral Agent, at Grantor’s expense, shall promptly execute and
deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to each Grantor all proxies, and other
instruments as such Grantor may from time to time reasonably request for the purpose
of enabling such Grantor with respect to Collateral registered in the name of the
Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights when and to the
extent which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (1) above and receive and
retain dividends and other payments to the extent which it is entitled pursuant to
Section 4.41(a)(ii) above; and |
|
|
(3) |
|
Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default: |
|
(A) |
|
all rights of each Grantor to exercise or refrain from
exercising the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be
entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease and all such rights shall
thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have the
sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights; and |
|
|
(B) |
|
in order to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise the
voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise
pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it
may be entitled to receive hereunder: (1) each Grantor shall promptly execute
and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent
all proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral
Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (2) each Grantor
acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may utilize the power of attorney set
forth in Section 6.1. |
4.4.2 Pledged Equity Interests

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, at such time or
times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may
deem commercially reasonable.
(b) The Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the
Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to the portion of the Collateral being privately
sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely
distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Collateral Agent, as
collateral agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose
of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the
Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the
Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the
Collateral Agent at such sale. Each 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 applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which
it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or
hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by
law, at least ten (10) 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. Each
Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose
of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of
assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so,
or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the
Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been
sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public
sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such
Collateral to more than one offeree,
30
provided this section shall not restrict the operation of
Section 9-615(f) of the UCC. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral
are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency
and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency. Each
Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause
irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law
in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this
Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and
agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants
except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming
due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter
the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder.
(c) The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the
Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or
the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness
of any sale of the Collateral.
(d) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.
7.2 Application of Proceeds. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, and subject to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, all proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale, any
collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in
full or in part by the Collateral Agent against, the Secured Obligations in the following order of
priority: first, to the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, collection or
other realization, including reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent and its agents and
counsel, and all other expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Collateral Agent
in connection therewith, and all amounts for which the Collateral Agent is entitled to
indemnification hereunder (in its capacity as the Collateral Agent and not as a Lender) and all
advances made by the Collateral Agent hereunder for the account of the applicable Grantor, and to
the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with
the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under the Credit Agreement, all in accordance with
the terms hereof or thereof; second, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the
payment of all other Secured Obligations for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties; and
third, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment to or upon the order of
such
Grantor or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may direct.
7.3 Sales on Credit. If Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only
with payments actually made by purchaser and received by Collateral Agent and applied to
indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral,
Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.
7.4 Deposit Accounts.
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may apply
the balance from any Deposit Account (other than the Exempt Deposit Accounts) or instruct the bank
at which any Deposit Account (other than the Exempt Deposit Accounts) is
31
maintained to pay the
balance of any Deposit Account (other than the Exempt Deposit Accounts) to or for the benefit of
the Collateral Agent.
7.5 Investment Related Property.
Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities
Act and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to
any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration
or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act and/or such state
securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the
Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the
distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at
prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such
restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the
Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private
sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral
Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any
Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to
register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under
applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it.
If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment
Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any
Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from time
to time to furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may request
in order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in
the Investment Related Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent in exempt transactions
under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.
7.6 Intellectual Property.
(a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during
the continuation of an Event of Default:
(i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit
or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of
any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or otherwise, in the Collateral Agent’s sole
discretion, to enforce any Grantor Intellectual Property, in which event such Grantor
shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any
and all documents reasonably required by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement
and such Grantor shall, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent as
provided in Section 11 hereof in connection with the exercise of its rights under this
Section, and, to the extent that the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring suit to
enforce any Grantor Intellectual Property as provided in this Section, each Grantor agrees
to use commercially reasonable measures to the extent necessary, whether by action, suit,
proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement or other violation of any of such
Grantor’s rights in any Grantor Intellectual Property that is material to its business by
others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding
against any Person so infringing as shall be necessary to prevent such infringement or
violation;
32
(ii) upon written demand from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall grant,
assign, convey or otherwise transfer to the Collateral Agent or such Collateral Agent’s
designee all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Grantor Intellectual
Property and shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such documents as are
necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement;
(iii) each Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be applied to
reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to the extent that the Collateral Agent (or
any Secured Party) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization
upon, the Grantor Intellectual Property; and
(iv) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to notify, or require each Grantor to
notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in
respect of the Grantor Intellectual Property, of the existence of the security interest
created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the
Collateral Agent, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to
enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or
payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done;
|
(1) |
|
all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by
Grantor in respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any
portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent
hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith
paid over or delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with
any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by
Section 7.7 hereof; and |
|
|
(2) |
|
Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any
such amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any
credit or discount thereon. |
(b) If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver,
modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to the Collateral Agent of
any rights, title and interests in and to the Grantor Intellectual Property shall have been
previously made and shall have become absolute and effective, and (iv) the Secured Obligations
shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of any Grantor, the
Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor, at such Grantor’s sole cost
and expense, such assignments or other transfer as may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor any
such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to the Collateral Agent as aforesaid,
subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by the Collateral Agent; provided, after
giving effect to such reassignment, the Collateral Agent’s security interest granted pursuant
hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent granted hereunder, shall
continue to be in full force and effect; and provided further, the rights, title and interests so
reassigned shall be free and clear of any other Liens granted by or on behalf of the Collateral
Agent and the Secured Parties.
(c) Solely for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies
under this Section 7 after an Event of Default and at such time as the Collateral
33
Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby
grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent it has the right to do so, an irrevocable,
nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such
Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and
inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of said Trademarks, to use,
operate under, license, or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by
such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located.
7.7 Cash Proceeds. In addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent specified in Section 4.3
with respect to payments of Receivables, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor
consisting of cash, checks and other non-cash items (collectively, “Cash Proceeds”) shall be held
by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and
shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section
4.4(a)(ii), be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly
indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required) and held by the Collateral Agent in
the Collateral Account. Any Cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent (whether from a Grantor
or otherwise): (i) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be held by
the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the
Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and (ii) if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, may, in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, (A) be held by the
Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the
Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time thereafter may be
applied by the Collateral Agent against the Secured Obligations then due and owing.
SECTION 8. COLLATERAL AGENT.
The Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by Lenders, the
Swap Counterparty and each Specified Hedge Counterparty, if any, and, by their acceptance of the
benefits hereof, the other Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have
the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any
rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release
or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the other First Lien
Credit Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Secured Party,
by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to
realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party
that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the
benefit of Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section. Collateral Agent may
resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and the
Grantors, and Collateral Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or
concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Grantors and Collateral Agent signed by the
Company and the Required First Lien Creditors. Upon any such notice of resignation or any such
removal, Required First Lien Creditors shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to
the Administrative Agent, to appoint a successor Collateral Agent with the consent of the Company
(not to be unreasonably withheld) (provided that no such consent would be required during the
continuance of any Event of Default). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent
hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed
to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed
Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring or removed Collateral Agent under this
Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Collateral Agent all sums, Securities and
other items of Collateral held hereunder,
34
together with all records and other documents necessary
or appropriate in connection with the
performance of the duties of the successor Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and (ii)
execute and deliver to such successor Collateral Agent or otherwise authorize the filing of such
amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate
in connection with the assignment to such successor Collateral Agent of the security interests
created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring or removed Collateral Agent’s
resignation or removal hereunder as the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement
while it was the Collateral Agent hereunder.
SECTION 9. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF LOANS; RELEASES.
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain
in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the cancellation or
termination of the Commitments, the expiration or termination of the Swap Agreement, all Hedge
Agreements and all agreements for Specified Secured Hedge Indebtedness, and the cancellation or
expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit, be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and
assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the
benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns. Each of the parties
hereto agrees that this Agreement as amended as of the date hereof supersedes the Agreement as
executed on June 24, 2005. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the
terms of the Credit Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held by it to
any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in
respect thereof granted to Lenders herein or otherwise. Upon the payment in full of all Secured
Obligations, the cancellation or termination of the Commitments, the expiration or termination of
the Swap Agreement, all Hedge Agreements and all agreements for Specified Secured Hedge
Indebtedness, and the cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit, the security
interest granted hereby shall automatically terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the
Collateral shall revert to Grantors. Upon any such termination the Collateral Agent shall, at
Grantors’ expense, execute and deliver to Grantors or otherwise authorize the filing of such
documents as Grantors shall reasonably request, including financing statement amendments to
evidence such termination. Upon any disposition of property including Capital Stock of a Grantor
permitted by the First Lien Credit Documents, the Liens granted herein shall be deemed to be
automatically released and such property shall automatically revert to the applicable Grantor, or
such Grantor shall be automatically released, as the case may be, in each case, with no further
action on the part of any Person. The Collateral Agent shall, at Grantor’s expense, execute and
deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request,
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, including financing
statement amendments to evidence such release.
SECTION 10. RIGHTS UNDER HEDGE AGREEMENTS; RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF SPECIFIED SECURED HEDGE
INDEBTEDNESS.
Neither this Agreement, nor any other Credit Document nor any Hedge Agreement will create (or
be deemed to create) in favor of any Lender Counterparty that is a party thereto or any Specified
Hedge Counterparty any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of
the obligations of any Guarantor under the Credit Documents except as expressly provided in Section
9 of this Agreement.
35
SECTION 11. STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM.
The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in
the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the
exercise of reasonable care in the 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 or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior 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 Collateral in its possession if such
Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its
own property. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents
shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or
for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any
Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or otherwise. If any Grantor fails to perform any
agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such
agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be
payable by each Grantor under Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS.
Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance
with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Agent
in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other First Lien Credit
Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default
or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or
privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege.
All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other First Lien Credit Documents are
cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any
provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations,
or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a
particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be
permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant
shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or
condition exists. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Collateral
Agent and Grantors and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as permitted
under the First Lien Credit Documents, no Grantor shall, without the prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent given in accordance with the Credit Agreement and the Swap Agreement, assign any
right, duty or obligation hereunder. This Agreement and the other First Lien Credit Documents
embody the entire agreement and understanding between Grantors and the Collateral Agent and
supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the First Lien Credit Documents may not be contradicted by
evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no
unwritten oral agreements between the parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall
constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate
counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically
attached to the same document.
36
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,
AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED
AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS
CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THAT WOULD REQUIRE APPLICATION OF LAWS OF ANOTHER STATE.
37
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Grantor and the Collateral Agent have caused this Agreement to be
duly executed and delivered by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date
first written above.

(d) The Securities Account is a “securities account” within the meaning of Section 8-501 of
the UCC.
Section 3. “Financial Assets” Election. The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that each
item of property (including, without limitation, any investment property, financial asset,
security, instrument, general intangible or cash) credited to the Securities Account shall be
treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC.
Section 4. Control of the Securities Account. If at any time the Securities Intermediary
shall receive any order from the First Lien Collateral Agent directing transfer or redemption of
any financial asset relating to the Securities Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply
with such entitlement order without further consent by the Debtor or any other person. If at any
time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any entitlement order from the Second Lien
Collateral Agent directing transfer or redemption of any financial asset relating to the Securities
Account, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order without further
consent by the Debtor or any other person; provided that, prior to receipt by the
Securities Intermediary of a Notice of Termination of First Lien Obligations, the Securities
Intermediary shall not comply with any entitlement order issued by the Second Lien Collateral Agent
without the consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent; and provided further that the Second Lien
Collateral Agent shall not issue any entitlement orders other than in accordance with Section 3 of
the Intercreditor Agreement. The Securities Intermediary shall comply with entitlement orders from
the Debtor directing transfer or redemption of any financial asset relating to the Securities
Account until such time as the Securities Intermediary has received a Notice of Sole Control
delivered pursuant to Section 9(a). Until such time as the Securities Intermediary has received a
Notice of Sole Control delivered under Section 9(a), the Securities Intermediary shall be entitled
to distribute to the Debtor all income on the financial assets in the Securities Account. If the
Debtor is otherwise entitled to issue entitlement orders and such orders conflict with any
entitlement order issued by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent
(following the receipt by Financial Institution of a Notice of Termination of First Lien
EXHIBIT C-2
Obligations), the Securities Intermediary shall follow the orders issued by the applicable
Collateral Agent.
Section 5. Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. In the event that the Securities
Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security
interest in the Securities Account or any security entitlement credited thereto, the Securities
Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security
interests of the Collateral Agents. The financial assets and other items deposited to the
Securities Account will not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in
favor of any person other than the Collateral Agents (except that the Securities Intermediary may
set off (i) all amounts due to the Securities Intermediary in respect of customary fees and
expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Securities Account and (ii) the face
amount of any checks which have been credited to such Securities Account but are subsequently
returned unpaid because of uncollected or insufficient funds).
Section 6. Choice of Law. This Agreement and the Securities Account shall each 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
(within the meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC) and the Securities Account (as well as the
securities entitlements related thereto) shall be governed by the laws of the State of
New York.
Section 7. Conflict with Other Agreements.
(a) In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any portion thereof) and any other
agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail;
(b) No amendment or modification of this Agreement or waiver of any right hereunder shall be
binding on any party hereto unless it is in writing and is signed by all of the parties hereto;
(c) The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms and agrees that:
(i) There are no other control agreements entered into between the
Securities Intermediary and the Debtor with respect to the Securities Account;
(ii) It has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement,
will not enter into, any agreement with any other person relating to the
Securities Account and/or any financial assets credited thereto pursuant to which
it has agreed to comply with entitlement orders (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8)
of the UCC) of such other person; and
(iii) It has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement,
will not enter into, any agreement with the Debtor or either Collateral Agent
purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to
comply with entitlement orders as set forth in Section 4 hereof.
Section 8. Adverse Claims. Other than the security interests of the Collateral Agents in the
Securities Account, the Securities Intermediary does not know of any security interest in the
Securities Account or in any “financial asset” (as defined in Section 8-102(a) of the UCC)
EXHIBIT C-3
credited thereto. If any person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any
writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the
Securities Account or in any financial asset carried therein, the Securities Intermediary will
promptly notify the Collateral Agents and the Debtor thereof.
Section 9. Maintenance of Securities Account. In addition to, and not in lieu of, the
obligation of the Securities Intermediary to honor entitlement orders as agreed in Section 4
hereof, the Securities Intermediary agrees to maintain the Securities Account as follows:
(a) Notice of Sole Control. If at any time the First Lien Collateral Agent or, after
delivery of a Notice of Termination of First Lien Obligations, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, as
the case may be, delivers to the Securities Intermediary a Notice of Sole Control in substantially
the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto, the Securities Intermediary agrees that after receipt of
such notice, it will take all instruction with respect to the Securities Account solely from the
appropriate Collateral Agent.
(b) Voting Rights. Until such time as the Securities Intermediary receives a Notice
of Sole Control pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 8, the Debtor shall direct the
Securities Intermediary with respect to the voting of any financial assets credited to the
Securities Account.
(c) Permitted Investments. Until such time as the Securities Intermediary receives a
Notice of Sole Control signed by the applicable Collateral Agent, the Debtor shall direct the
Securities Intermediary with respect to the selection of investments to be made for the Securities
Account; provided, however, that the Securities Intermediary shall not honor any instruction to
purchase any investments other than investments of a type described on Exhibit C hereto.
(d) Statements and Confirmations. The Securities Intermediary will promptly send
copies of all statements, confirmations and other correspondence concerning the Securities Account
and/or any financial assets credited thereto simultaneously to each of the Debtor and the
Collateral Agents at the address for each set forth in Section 13 of this Agreement.
(e) Tax Reporting. All items of income, gain, expense and loss recognized in the
Securities Account shall be reported to the Internal Revenue Service and all state and local taxing
authorities under the name and taxpayer identification number of the Debtor.
Section 10. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Securities Intermediary. The
Securities Intermediary hereby makes the following representations, warranties and covenants:
(a) The Securities Account has been established as set forth in Section 1 above and such
Securities Account will be maintained in the manner set forth herein until termination of this
Agreement; and
(b) This Agreement is the valid and legally binding obligation of the Securities Intermediary.

Securities Intermediary with the terms hereof, except to the extent that such liabilities arise
from the Securities Intermediary’s negligence and (b) the Debtor, its successors
EXHIBIT C-4
and assigns shall at all times indemnify and save harmless the Securities Intermediary from
and against any and all claims, actions and suits of others arising out of the terms of this
Agreement or the compliance of the Securities Intermediary with the terms hereof, except to the
extent that such arises from the Securities Intermediary’s negligence, and from and against any and
all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, charges, counsel fees and other expenses of every nature
and character arising by reason of the same, until the termination of this Agreement.
Section 12. Successors; Assignment. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and
shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Each Collateral Agent may assign its rights hereunder only with the express written consent of the
Securities Intermediary and by sending written notice of such assignment to the Debtor.
Section 13. Notices. Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted to be
given under this Agreement shall be in writing and deemed to have been properly given when
