(b) The Transaction Liens are granted as security only and shall not subject the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to, or transfer or in any way affect or modify, any obligation or liability of any Lien Grantor with respect to any of the Collateral or any transaction in connection therewith.

Section 3. General Representations and Warranties.

Each Original Lien Grantor represents and warrants that:

(a) Such Lien Grantor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization.

(b) Schedule 1 lists all Specified Equity Interests owned by such Lien Grantor as of the Effective Date. Such Lien Grantor holds all such Equity Interests directly (i.e., not through a Subsidiary, a Securities Intermediary or any other Person).

(c) All Specified Equity Interests owned by such Lien Grantor are owned by it free and clear of any Lien other than (i) the Transaction Liens and (ii) any inchoate tax liens. All shares of capital stock included in such Specified Equity Interests have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. None of such Specified Equity Interests is subject to any option to purchase or similar right of any Person. Such Lien Grantor is not and will not become a party to or otherwise bound by any agreement (except the Loan Documents) which restricts in any manner the rights of any present or future holder of any Specified Equity Interest with respect thereto.

(d) No financing statement, security agreement, mortgage or similar or equivalent document or instrument covering all or part of the Collateral owned by such Lien Grantor is on file or of record in any jurisdiction in which such filing or recording would be effective to perfect or record a Lien on such Collateral, except financing statements, mortgages or other similar or equivalent documents with respect to the Transaction Liens.

(e) The Transaction Liens on all Specified Equity Interests owned by such Lien Grantor (i) have been validly created, (ii) will attach to each item of such Collateral on the Effective Date (or, if such Lien Grantor first obtains rights thereto on a later date, on such later date) and (iii) when so attached, will secure all the Secured Obligations or such Lien Grantor’s Transaction Guarantee, as the case may be.

(f) When UCC financing statements describing the Collateral as set forth in Schedule 2 hereto have been filed in the offices specified therein, the Transaction Liens will constitute perfected security interests in the Collateral owned by such Lien Grantor, prior to all Liens and rights of others therein. Except for the filing of such UCC financing statements, no registration, recordation or filing with any governmental body, agency or official is required in connection with the execution or delivery of the Security Documents or is necessary for the validity or enforceability thereof or for the perfection or due recordation of the Transaction Liens or for the enforcement of the Transaction Liens.

Section 4. Further Assurances; General Covenants. Each Lien Grantor covenants as follows:

(a) Such Lien Grantor will, from time to time, at the Borrower’s expense, execute, deliver, file and record any statement, assignment, instrument, document, agreement or other paper and take any other action (including any filing of financing or continuation statements under the UCC) that from time to time may be necessary or reasonably desirable, or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to:

(i) create, preserve, perfect, confirm or validate the Transaction Liens on such Lien Grantor’s Collateral;

(ii) cause the Administrative Agent to have Control thereof;

(iii) enable the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties to obtain the full benefits of the Security Documents; or

(iv) enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce any of its rights, powers and remedies with respect to any of such Lien Grantor’s Collateral.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lien Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and file such financing statements or continuation statements without such Lien Grantor’s signature appearing thereon. Such Lien Grantor agrees that a carbon, photographic, photostatic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of a financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement. Such Lien Grantor constitutes the Administrative Agent its attorney-in-fact to execute and file all filings required or so requested for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; and such power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until all the Transaction Liens granted by such Lien Grantor terminate pursuant to Section 15. The Borrower will pay the costs of, or incidental to, any recording or filing of any financing or continuation statements or other documents recorded or filed pursuant hereto.

(b) Such Lien Grantor will not (i) change its name or corporate structure, (ii) change its location (determined as provided in UCC Section 9-307) or (iii) become bound, as provided in UCC Section 9-203(d), by a security agreement entered into by another Person as lien grantor, unless it shall have given the Administrative Agent prior notice thereof and delivered a certificate of a Financial Officer with respect thereto in accordance with Section 4(c).

(c) At least 30 days before it takes any action contemplated by Section 4(b), such Lien Grantor will, at the Borrower’s expense, cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to the effect that (i) all financing statements and amendments or supplements thereto, continuation statements and other documents required to be filed or recorded in order to perfect and protect the Transaction Liens against all creditors of and purchasers from such Lien Grantor after it takes such action (except any continuation statements specified in such certificate that are to be filed more than six months after the date thereof) have been filed or recorded in each office necessary for such purpose, (ii) all fees and taxes, if any, payable in connection with such filings or recordations have been paid in full and (iii) except as otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders, such action will not adversely affect the perfection or priority of the Transaction Lien on any Collateral to be owned by such Lien Grantor after it takes such action or the accuracy of such Lien Grantor’s representations and warranties herein relating to such Collateral.

(d) Such Lien Grantor will, promptly upon request, provide to the Administrative Agent all information and evidence concerning such Lien

Grantor’s Collateral that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time to enable it to enforce the provisions of the Security Documents.

(e) From time to time upon the reasonable request by the Required Lenders, such Lien Grantor will, at the Borrower’s expense, cause to be delivered to the Secured Parties an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as to such matters relating to the transactions contemplated hereby as the Required Lenders may reasonably request.

Section 5. Specified Equity Interests. Each Lien Grantor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

(a) Certificated Securities. On the Effective Date (in the case of an Original Lien Grantor) or the date on which it signs and delivers its first Pledge Agreement Supplement (in the case of any other Lien Grantor), such Lien Grantor will deliver to the Administrative Agent as Collateral hereunder all certificates representing Pledged Certificated Securities then owned by such Lien Grantor. Thereafter, whenever such Lien Grantor acquires any other certificate representing a Pledged Certificated Security, such Lien Grantor will immediately deliver such certificate to the Administrative Agent as Collateral hereunder.

(b) Uncertificated Securities. On the Effective Date (in the case of an Original Lien Grantor) or the date on which it signs and delivers its first Pledge Agreement Supplement (in the case of any other Lien Grantor), such Lien Grantor will enter into (and cause the relevant issuer to enter into) an Issuer Control Agreement in respect of each Pledged Uncertificated Security then owned by such Lien Grantor and deliver such Issuer Control Agreement to the Administrative Agent (which shall enter into the same). Thereafter, whenever such Lien Grantor acquires any other Pledged Uncertificated Security, such Lien Grantor will enter into (and cause the relevant issuer to enter into) an Issuer Control Agreement in respect of such Pledged Uncertificated Security and deliver such Issuer Control Agreement to the Administrative Agent (which shall enter into the same).

(c) Perfection as to Certificated Securities. When such Lien Grantor delivers the certificate representing any Pledged Certificated Security owned by it to the Administrative Agent and complies with Section 5(e) in connection with such delivery, (i) the Transaction Lien on such Pledged Certificated Security will be perfected, subject to no prior Liens or rights of others, (ii) the Administrative Agent will have Control of such Pledged Certificated Security and (iii) the Administrative Agent will be a protected purchaser (within the meaning of UCC Section 8-303) thereof.

(d) Perfection as to Uncertificated Securities. When such Lien Grantor, the Administrative Agent and the issuer of any Pledged Uncertificated Security

owned by such Lien Grantor enter into an Issuer Control Agreement with respect thereto, (i) the Transaction Lien on such Pledged Uncertificated Security will be perfected, subject to no prior Liens or rights of others, (ii) the Administrative Agent will have Control of such Pledged Uncertificated Security and (iii) the Administrative Agent will be a protected purchaser (within the meaning of UCC Section 8-303) thereof.

(e) Delivery of Pledged Certificates. All Pledged Certificates, when delivered to the Administrative Agent, will be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, with signatures appropriately guaranteed, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Communications. Each Lien Grantor will promptly give to the Administrative Agent copies of any notices and other communications received by it with respect to Pledged Securities registered in the name of such Lien Grantor or its nominee.

(g) Compliance with Applicable Foreign Laws. If and so long as the Collateral includes any Equity Interest in a legal entity organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, the relevant Lien Grantor will take all such action as may be required under the laws of such foreign jurisdiction to ensure that the Transaction Lien on such Collateral ranks prior to all Liens and rights of others therein.

Section 6. Transfer Of Record Ownership. At any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Lien Grantors of its intent to enforce its security interest in the Collateral, the Administrative Agent may (and to the extent that action by it is required, the relevant Lien Grantor, if directed to do so by the Administrative Agent, will as promptly as practicable) cause each of the Pledged Securities (or any portion thereof specified in such direction) to be transferred of record into the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee. Each Lien Grantor will take any and all actions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to facilitate compliance with this Section. If the provisions of this Section are implemented, Section 5(b) shall not thereafter apply to any Pledged Security that is registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee. The Administrative Agent will promptly give to the relevant Lien Grantor copies of any notices and other communications received by the Administrative Agent with respect to Pledged Securities registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee.

Section 7. Right to Vote Securities.

(a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have notified it of its intent to exercise its rights under the Security Documents, each Lien Grantor will have the right, from time to time, to vote and to give consents, ratifications and waivers with respect to any Pledged Security owned by it, and the Administrative Agent will, upon receiving a written request from such Lien Grantor, deliver to such Lien Grantor or as specified in such request such proxies, powers of attorney, consents, ratifications and waivers in respect of any such Pledged Security that is registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee, in each case as shall be specified in such request and be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have notified such owner of its intent to exercise its rights under the Security Documents, the Administrative Agent will have no right to take any action which the owner of a Pledged Partnership Interest or Pledged LLC Interest is entitled to take with respect thereto, except the right to receive payments and other distributions to the extent provided herein.

(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have notified a Lien Grantor of its intent to exercise its rights under the Security Documents, the Administrative Agent will have the right to the extent permitted by law (and, in the case of a Pledged Partnership Interest or Pledged LLC Interest, by the relevant partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement, operating agreement or other governing document) to vote, to give consents, ratifications and waivers and to take any other action with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests of such Lien Grantor, with the same force and effect as if the Administrative Agent were the absolute and sole owner thereof, and such Lien Grantor will take all such action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time to give effect to such right.

Section 8. Right to Receive Distribution on Collateral. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Lien Grantors of its intent to exercise its rights under the Security Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive and to retain as Collateral hereunder all Cash Distributions and each Lien Grantor shall take all such action as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or appropriate to give effect to such right. All such Cash Distributions which are received by a Lien Grantor during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and, if the Administrative Agent so directs during the continuance of an Event of Default, shall be segregated from other funds of such Lien Grantor and shall, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default, be paid over to the Administrative Agent as Collateral in the same form as received (with any necessary endorsement). After all Events of

Default have been cured, the Administrative Agent’s right to retain Cash Distributions under this Section 8 shall cease and the Administrative Agent shall pay over to the appropriate Lien Grantor any such Collateral retained by it during the continuance of an Event of Default.

Section 9. Remedies upon Event of Default.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may exercise (or cause its sub-agents to exercise) any or all of the remedies available to it (or to such sub-agents) under the Security Documents.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may exercise on behalf of the Secured Parties all the rights of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised) with respect to any Collateral and, in addition, the Administrative Agent may, without being required to give any notice, except as herein provided or as may be required by mandatory provisions of law, withdraw all cash held by it pursuant to Section 8 and apply such cash as provided in Section 10 and, if there shall be no such cash or if such cash shall be insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations in full, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof. Notice of any such sale or other disposition shall be given to the relevant Lien Grantor(s) as required by Section 12.

Section 10. Application of Proceeds.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may apply (i) any cash held by it and (ii) the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral, in the following order of priorities:

first, to pay the expenses of such sale or other disposition, including reasonable compensation to agents of and counsel for the Administrative Agent, and all expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Administrative Agent in connection with the Security Documents, and any other amounts then due and payable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement;

second, to pay the unpaid principal of the Secured Obligations ratably (or provide for the payment thereof pursuant to Section 10(b)), until payment in full of the principal of all Secured Obligations shall have been made (or so provided for);

third, to pay ratably all interest (including Post-Petition Interest) on the Secured Obligations payable under the Credit Agreement, until payment in full of all such interest and fees shall have been made;

fourth, to pay all other Secured Obligations ratably (or provide for the payment thereof pursuant to Section 10(b)), until payment in full of all such other Secured Obligations shall have been made (or so provided for); and

finally, to pay to the relevant Lien Grantor, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, any surplus then remaining from the proceeds of the Collateral owned by it;

provided that Collateral owned by a Guarantor and any proceeds thereof shall be applied pursuant to the foregoing clauses first, second, third and fourth only to the extent permitted by the limitation in Section 2(i) of the Guarantee Agreement. The Administrative Agent may make such distributions hereunder in cash or in kind or, on a ratable basis, in any combination thereof.

(b) If at any time any portion of any monies collected or received by the Administrative Agent would, but for the provisions of this Section 10(b), be payable pursuant to Section 10(a) in respect of a Contingent Secured Obligation, the Administrative Agent shall not apply any monies to pay such Contingent Secured Obligation but instead shall request the holder thereof, at least 10 days before each proposed distribution hereunder, to notify the Administrative Agent as to the maximum amount of such Contingent Secured Obligation if then ascertainable. If the holder of such Contingent Secured Obligation does not notify the Administrative Agent of the maximum ascertainable amount thereof at least two Business Days before such distribution, such holder will not be entitled to share in such distribution. If such holder does so notify the Administrative Agent as to the maximum ascertainable amount thereof, the Administrative Agent will allocate to such holder a portion of the monies to be distributed in such distribution, calculated as if such Contingent Secured Obligation were outstanding in such maximum ascertainable amount. However, the Administrative Agent will not apply such portion of such monies to pay such Contingent Secured Obligation, but instead will hold such monies or invest such monies in Permitted Investments. All such monies and Permitted Investments and all proceeds thereof will constitute Collateral hereunder, but will be subject to distribution in accordance with this Section 10(b) rather than Section 10(a). The Administrative Agent will hold all such monies and Permitted Investments and the net proceeds thereof in trust until all or part of such Contingent Secured Obligation becomes a Non-Contingent Secured Obligation, whereupon the Administrative Agent at the request of the relevant Secured Party will apply the amount so held in trust to pay such Non-Contingent Secured Obligation; provided that, if the other Secured

Obligations theretofore paid pursuant to the same clause of Section 10(a) (i.e., clause second or fourth) were not paid in full, the Administrative Agent will apply the amount so held in trust to pay the same percentage of such Non-Contingent Secured Obligation as the percentage of such other Secured Obligations theretofore paid pursuant to the same clause of Section 10(a). If (i) the holder of such Contingent Secured Obligation shall advise the Administrative Agent that no portion thereof remains in the category of a Contingent Secured Obligation and (ii) the Administrative Agent still holds any amount held in trust pursuant to this Section 10(b) in respect of such Contingent Secured Obligation (after paying all amounts payable pursuant to the preceding sentence with respect to any portions thereof that became Non-Contingent Secured Obligations), such remaining amount will be applied by the Administrative Agent in the order of priorities set forth in Section 10(a).

(c) In making the payments and allocations required by this Section, the Administrative Agent may rely upon information supplied to it pursuant to Section 14(c). All distributions made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall be final (except in the event of manifest error) and the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by any Secured Party of any amount distributed to it.

Section 11. [Intentionally Omitted.]

Section 12. Authority to Administer Collateral. Each Lien Grantor irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of such Lien Grantor, any Secured Party or otherwise, for the sole use and benefit of the Secured Parties, but at the Borrower’s expense, to the extent permitted by law to exercise, at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or any of the following powers with respect to all or any of such Lien Grantor’s Collateral:

(a) to demand, xxx for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all monies due or to become due upon or by virtue thereof,

(b) to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect thereto,

(c) to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of the same or the proceeds or avails thereof, as fully and effectually as if the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof, and

(d) to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to make any allowance or other adjustment with reference thereto;

provided that the Administrative Agent will give the relevant Lien Grantor at least ten days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition thereof will be made. Any such notice shall (i) contain the information specified in UCC Section 9-613, (ii) be Authenticated and (iii) be sent to the parties required to be notified pursuant to UCC Section 9-611(c); provided that, if the Administrative Agent fails to comply with this sentence in any respect, its liability for such failure shall be limited to the liability (if any) imposed on it as a matter of law under the UCC.

Section 13. Limitation on Duty in Respect of Collateral. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody and preservation thereof, the Administrative Agent will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any sub-agent or bailee or any income therefrom or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Administrative Agent will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession or control if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of any act or omission of any sub-agent or bailee selected by the Administrative Agent in good faith, except to the extent that such liability arises from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Security Documents that the Administrative Agent is required in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement), and (iii) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for any failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of the Guarantors that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of any Transaction Lien, whether impaired by operation

of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part under the Security Documents. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Secured Party.

The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of its duties and exercise any of its rights and powers through its Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of Section 13 and this Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent.

(c) Information as to Secured Obligations and Actions by Secured Parties. For all purposes of the Security Documents, including determining the amounts of the Secured Obligations and whether a Secured Obligation is a Contingent Secured Obligation or not, or whether any action has been taken under any Secured Agreement, the Administrative Agent will be entitled to rely on information from (i) its own records for information as to the Lender Parties, their Secured Obligations and actions taken by them, (ii) any Secured Party (or any trustee, agent or similar representative) for information as to its Secured Obligations and actions taken by it, to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not obtained such information from its own records, and (iii) the Borrower, to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not obtained information from the foregoing sources.

(d) Refusal to Act. The Administrative Agent may refuse to act on any notice, consent, direction or instruction from any Secured Parties or any agent, trustee or similar representative thereof that, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, (i) is contrary to law or the provisions of any Security Document, (ii) may expose the Administrative Agent to liability (unless the Administrative Agent shall have been indemnified, to its reasonable satisfaction, for such liability by the Secured Parties that gave such notice, consent, direction or instruction) or (iii) is unduly prejudicial to Secured Parties not joining in such notice, consent, direction or instruction.

(e) Copies of Certain Notices. Within two Business Days after it receives or sends any notice referred to in this subsection, the Administrative Agent shall send to the Lenders and each Secured Party Requesting Notice, copies of any notice given by the Administrative Agent to any Lien Grantor, or received by it from any Lien Grantor, pursuant to Section 9, 10, 12 or 15.

Section 15. Termination of Transaction Liens; Release of Collateral.

(a) The Transaction Liens granted by each Guarantor shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the release of its Transaction Guarantee pursuant to Section 2(c) of the Guarantee Agreement and (ii) the satisfaction of all of the Ratings Release Conditions (subject to reinstatement as set forth in Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement).

(b) The Transaction Liens granted by the Borrower shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the satisfaction of all of the Release Conditions and (ii) the satisfaction of all of the Ratings Release Conditions (subject to reinstatement as set forth in Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement).

(d) The Administrative Agent shall be fully protected in relying upon a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower as to whether all of the Ratings Release Conditions are satisfied. Upon any termination of a Transaction Lien or release of Collateral, the Administrative Agent will, at the expense of the relevant Lien Grantor, execute and deliver to such Lien Grantor such documents as such Lien Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of such Transaction Lien or the release of such Collateral, as the case may be.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time that Section 5.12(c) of the Credit Agreement is applicable, the Lien Grantors shall take all actions as shall be necessary to cause the Minimum Stock Collateral Condition to promptly be satisfied.

Section 16. Additional Transaction Lien Grantors. Any Subsidiary may become a party hereto by signing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a Pledge Agreement Supplement, whereupon such Subsidiary shall become a “Lien Grantor” as defined herein.

Section 17. Notices. Each notice, request or other communication given to any party hereunder shall be given in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement, and in the case of any such notice, request or other communication to a Lien Grantor other than the Borrower, shall be given to it in care of the Borrower.

Section 18. No Implied Waivers; Remedies Not Exclusive. No failure by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising and no course of dealing with respect to, any right or remedy under any

Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party of any right or remedy under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies specified in the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 19. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties. If all or any part of any Secured Party’s interest in any Secured Obligation is assigned or otherwise transferred, the transferor’s rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the obligation so transferred, shall be automatically transferred with such obligation.

Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended, modified or terminated except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent, with the consent of such Lenders as are required to consent thereto under Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement. No such waiver, amendment or modification shall (i) be binding upon any Lien Grantor, except with its written consent, or (ii) affect the rights of a Secured Party (other than a Lender) hereunder more adversely than it affects the comparable rights of the Lenders hereunder, without the consent of such Secured Party.

Section 21. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, except as otherwise required by mandatory provisions of law and except to the extent that remedies provided by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York are governed by the laws of such jurisdiction.

Nothing in any Loan Document shall affect any right

that any Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document against any Lien Grantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each of the Lien Grantors irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in subsection (b) of this Section.

With respect to each Lien Grantor, such designation and appointment shall be irrevocable until all of its Transaction Liens have been released pursuant to Section 15. Each of the Lien Grantors covenants and agrees that it shall take any and all reasonable action, including the execution and filing of any and all documents, that may be necessary to continue the

foregoing designations and appointments in full force and effect and to cause the Process Agent to continue to act in such capacity.

Section 24. Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that any Lien Grantor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid or execution, or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, such Lien Grantor hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under the Secured Agreements to the extent permitted by applicable law and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section shall have effect to the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States of America and are intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such Act.

Section 25. Judgment Currency. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may legally and effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase dollars with such other currency in New York, New York, on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligation of each Lien Grantor in respect of any sum due to any Secured Party hereunder in dollars shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt of any sum adjudged to be so due in the judgment currency such Secured Party may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase dollars in the amount originally due to it with the judgment currency. If the amount of dollars so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Secured Party, each Lien Grantor agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Secured Party against the resulting loss; and if the amount of dollars so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to such Secured Party, such Secured Party agrees to repay such excess.

All documents or notices to be delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall be in the English language or, if any such document or notice is not in the English language, accompanied by an English translation thereof, and the English language version of any such document or notice shall control for purposes hereof.

Section 27. Severability. If any provision of any Loan Document is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent (but only to the extent) of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, (ii) the other provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties in order to carry out the intentions of the parties thereto as nearly as may be possible and (iii) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any such provision in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 28. Counterparts, Integration, Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan

Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01 of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement (i) will become effective when the Administrative Agent shall have signed this Agreement and received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto and (ii) thereafter will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
