Applicable Collateral Agent to make application thereof to the Obligations in
the order set forth in the Credit Agreement and (ii) each Collateral Agent or
its nominee may exercise (A) any voting, consent, corporate and other right
pertaining to the Pledged Collateral at any meeting of shareholders, partners or
members, as the case may be, of the relevant issuer or issuers of Pledged
Collateral or otherwise and (B) any right of conversion, exchange and
subscription and any other right, privilege or option pertaining to the Pledged
Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to
exchange at its discretion any of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger,
amalgamation, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other
fundamental change in the corporate or equivalent structure of any issuer of
Pledged Stock, the right to deposit and deliver any Pledged Collateral with any
committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon
such terms and conditions as each Collateral Agent may reasonably determine),
all without liability except to account for property actually received by it;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Collateral Agent shall have any duty to any Grantor
to exercise any such right, privilege or option and no Collateral Agent shall be
responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.
(b) In order to permit each Collateral Agent to exercise the voting
and other consensual rights that it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto
and to receive all dividends and other distributions that it may be entitled to
receive hereunder, (i) each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause
to be executed and delivered) to Collateral Agent all such proxies, dividend
payment orders and other instruments as the Applicable Collateral Agent may from
time to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect of CLAUSE
(i) above, such Grantor hereby grants to each Collateral Agent an irrevocable
proxy to vote all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to exercise all
other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged
Collateral would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents
of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, calling special
meetings of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, and voting at
such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the
necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Collateral on the
record books of the issuer thereof) by any other person (including the issuer of
such Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof) during the continuance
of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate (x) in the case of
the Administrative Agent, upon the payment in full of the First-Priority Secured
Obligations and (y) in the case of the Tranche C Agent, upon the payment in full
of the Tranche C Obligations.
(c) Each Grantor hereby expressly authorizes and instructs each
issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by such Grantor to (i) comply
with any instruction received by it from any Collateral Agent in writing that
(A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and that is
not prohibited from giving such instruction pursuant to the Intercreditor
Agreement and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor
agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (ii) unless
otherwise expressly provided hereby, pay any dividend or other payment with
respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to such Collateral Agent.
SECTION 5.4 PROCEEDS TURNED OVER TO APPLICABLE COLLATERAL AGENT
Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Credit Agreement or the
Intercreditor Agreement, all Proceeds received by either Collateral Agent
hereunder in cash or Cash Equivalents shall be turned over to the Applicable
Collateral Agent and held by the Applicable Collateral Agent in a Cash
Collateral Account; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that amounts provided as cash
21
PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
PRESTIGE BRANDS, INC.
collateral for Letters of Credit shall continue to be held by the Administrative
Agent. All Proceeds while held by the Applicable Collateral Agent in a Cash
Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Applicable Collateral
Agent) shall continue to be held by the Applicable Collateral Agent as
collateral security for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment
thereof until applied as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement.
SECTION 5.5 REGISTRATION RIGHTS
(a) If any Collateral Agent shall determine (and be permitted under
the Intercreditor Agreement) to exercise its rights to sell any the Pledged
Collateral pursuant to SECTION 5.1 (CODE AND OTHER REMEDIES), and if in the
opinion of such Collateral Agent it is necessary or advisable to have the
Pledged Collateral, or any portion thereof to be registered under the provisions
of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor shall cause the issuer thereof to
(i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such issuer to
execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be
done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of such Collateral Agent,
necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Collateral, or that portion
thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its
best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become
effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the
first public offering of the Pledged Collateral, or that portion thereof to be
sold and (iii) make all amendments thereto or to the related prospectus that, in
the opinion of such Collateral Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in
conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each
Grantor agrees to cause such issuer to comply with the provisions of the
securities or "Blue Sky" laws of any jurisdiction that such Collateral Agent
shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as
practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) satisfying the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.
(b) Each Grantor recognizes that each Collateral Agent may be
unable to effect a public sale of any Pledged Collateral by reason of certain
prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws or otherwise or may determine that a public sale is impracticable or not
commercially reasonable and, accordingly, may resort to one or more private
sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers that shall be obliged to
agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each
Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices
and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and,
notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be
deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. No Collateral
Agent shall be under any obligation to delay a sale of any Pledged Collateral
for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such
securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state
securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.
(c) Each Grantor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to
do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale
or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this
SECTION 5.5 valid and binding and in compliance with all other applicable
Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any covenant
contained in this SECTION 5.5 will cause irreparable injury to each Collateral
Agent and other Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agents and the other
Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as
a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this SECTION 5.5 shall
be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such
22
PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
PRESTIGE BRANDS, INC.
Grantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and agrees not to
assert any defense against an action for specific performance of such covenants
except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit
Agreement or that the Secured Obligations have been paid in full or that such
covenants have been fully performed.
SECTION 5.6 DEFICIENCY
Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of
any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the
Secured Obligations and the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket disbursements of
any attorney employed by either Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to
collect such deficiency.
ARTICLE VI THE COLLATERAL AGENTS
SECTION 6.1 COLLATERAL AGENT'S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT
(a) Until such time as all Secured Obligations shall have been paid
in full, each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints each
Collateral Agent and any officer or agent of either of them, with full power of
substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable
power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of
such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of
this Agreement, to take any appropriate action and to execute any document or
instrument that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor
hereby gives each Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such
Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any of the
following:
(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take
possession of and indorse and collect any check, draft, note, acceptance or
other instrument for the payment of moneys due under any Account or General
Intangible or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or
take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or
otherwise deemed appropriate by such Collateral Agent for the purpose of
collecting any such moneys due under any Account or General Intangible or
with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver,
and have recorded, any agreement, instrument, document or paper as such
Collateral Agent may request to evidence such Collateral Agent's security
interests in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and General
Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;
(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or
threatened against the Collateral, effect any repair or pay any insurance
called for by the terms of this Agreement (including all or any part of the
premiums therefor and the costs thereof);
(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in SECTION
5.1 (CODE AND OTHER REMEDIES) or 5.5 (REGISTRATION RIGHTS), any
endorsement, assignment or other instrument of conveyance or transfer with
respect to the Collateral; or
(v) (A) direct any party liable for any payment under any
Collateral to make payment of any moneys due or to become due thereunder
directly to such Collateral
23
PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
PRESTIGE BRANDS, INC.
Agent or as such Collateral Agent shall direct, (B) ask or demand for,
collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any moneys, claims and
other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out
of any Collateral, (C) sign and indorse any invoice, freight or express
xxxx, xxxx of lading, storage or warehouse receipt, draft against debtors,
assignment, verification, notice and other document in connection with any
Collateral, (D) commence and prosecute any suit, action or proceeding at
law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect any
Collateral and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral, (E)
defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with
respect to any Collateral, (F) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit,
action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or
releases as such Collateral Agent may deem appropriate, (G) assign any
Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to
which any such Trademark pertains) throughout the world for such term or
terms, on such conditions, and in such manner as such Collateral Agent
shall in its sole discretion determine, including the execution and filing
of any document necessary to effectuate or record such assignment and (H)
generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or
otherwise deal with any Collateral as fully and completely as though such
Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do,
at such Collateral Agent's option and such Grantor's expense, at any time,
or from time to time, all acts and things that such Collateral Agent deems
necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the
Collateral Agents' and the other Secured Parties' security interests
therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and
effectively as such Grantor might do.
Anything in this CLAUSE (a) to the contrary notwithstanding, each Collateral
Agent agrees that it shall not exercise any right under the power of attorney
provided for in this CLAUSE (a) unless an Event of Default shall be continuing
and such exercise shall be permitted pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement.
(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its
agreements contained herein, each Collateral Agent, at its option, but without
any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance
or compliance, with such agreement.
(c) The expenses of either Collateral Agent incurred in connection
with actions undertaken as provided in this SECTION 6.1, together with interest
thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would
then be payable on past due Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans under the
Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by such Collateral Agent to the date
reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to such
Collateral Agent on demand.
(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and
agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are
irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests
created hereby are released.
SECTION 6.2 DUTY OF COLLATERAL AGENTS
Each Collateral Agent's sole duty with respect to the custody,
safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall
be to deal with it in the same manner as such Collateral Agent deals with
similar property for its own account. No such Collateral
24
PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
PRESTIGE BRANDS, INC.
Agent and no other Secured Party, nor any of their respective officers,
directors, employees or agents, shall be liable for failure to demand, collect
or realize upon any 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 any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with
regard to any Collateral. The powers conferred on any Collateral Agent hereunder
are solely to protect such Collateral Agent's interest in the Collateral and
shall not impose any duty upon any Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party
to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agents and the other Secured Parties
shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of
the exercise of such powers and neither they nor any of their respective
officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for
any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct and the gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct of any of their own officers, directors, employees or agents.
SECTION 6.3 AUTHORIZATION OF FINANCING STATEMENTS
Each Grantor authorizes each Collateral Agent and its Affiliates,
counsel and other representatives, at any time and from time to time, to file or
record financing statements, amendments to financing statements, and other
filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in
such form and in such offices as such Collateral Agent reasonably determines
appropriate to perfect the security interests of such Collateral Agent under
this Agreement, and such financing statements and amendments may described the
Collateral covered thereby as "all assets of the debtor", "all personal property
of the debtor" or words of similar effect. Each Grantor hereby also authorizes
each Collateral Agent and its Affiliates, counsel and other representatives, at
any time and from time to time, to file continuation statements with respect to
previously filed financing statements. A photographic or other reproduction of
this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or
recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.
SECTION 6.4 AUTHORITY OF COLLATERAL AGENTS
Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of each
Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by either
of them or the exercise or non-exercise by such Collateral Agent of any option,
voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or
resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between such Collateral
Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement, the
Intercreditor Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may
exist from time to time among them, but, as between such Collateral Agent and
the Grantors, such Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting
as agent for the other Secured Parties it represents as collateral agent with
full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall
be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such
authority. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the
Intercreditor Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement shall control, and no
right, power, or remedy granted to any Collateral Agent hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall be exercised by such Collateral Agent in contravention
of the Intercreditor Agreement.

ARTICLE VII MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 7.1 SUCCESSION OF THE TRANCHE C AGENT TO THE RIGHTS OF
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.
Upon the payment in full of the First-Priority Secured Obligations,
the rights of the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as collateral agent for
the First-Priority Secured Parties other than in respect of outstanding Letters
of Credit and cash collateral provided in respect thereof and for related fees,
costs, indemnification, and expenses) and the rights of the First-Priority
Secured Parties under this Agreement shall be deemed to have been assigned to
the Tranche C Agent and the Tranche C Secured Parties, respectively, and the
Tranche C Agent and the Tranche C Secured Parties shall be entitled to all of
the benefits of the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as collateral agent
for the First-Priority Secured Parties) and the First-Priority Secured Parties,
respectively.
SECTION 7.2 AMENDMENTS IN WRITING
None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived,
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with SECTION
11.1 (AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, ETC.) of the Credit Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that annexes to this Agreement may be supplemented (but no existing provisions
may be modified and no Collateral may be released) through Pledge Amendments and
Joinder Agreements, in substantially the form of ANNEX 3 (FORM OF PLEDGE
AMENDMENT) and ANNEX 4 (FORM OF JOINDER AGREEMENT) respectively, in each case
duly executed by Collateral Agent and each Grantor directly affected thereby.
SECTION 7.3 NOTICES
All notices, requests and demands to or upon any Collateral Agent or

notice, request or demand to or upon any Grantor shall be addressed to the

SECTION 7.4 NO WAIVER BY COURSE OF CONDUCT; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES
No Collateral Agent and no other Secured Party shall by any act
(except by a written instrument pursuant to SECTION 7.2 (AMENDMENTS IN
WRITING)), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any
right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of
Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A
waiver by any Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy
hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or
remedy that such Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise
have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are
cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any
other rights or remedies provided by law.

be detached from multiple counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so
that all signature pages are attached to the same document. Delivery of an
executed counterpart by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart.

PRESTIGE BRANDS, INC.
Person shall execute and deliver to each Collateral Agent a Joinder Agreement

SECTION 7.12 RELEASE OF COLLATERAL
(a) At the time provided in SECTION 5.1 (RELEASES; ENFORCEMENT BY
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT) of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral shall be
released from the Lien created hereby and this Agreement and all obligations
(other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of each
Collateral Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without
delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all
rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. At the request and sole
expense of any Grantor following any such termination, each Collateral Agent
shall deliver to such Grantor any Collateral of such Grantor held by such
Collateral Agent hereunder and execute and deliver to such Grantor such
documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
(b) If any Collateral shall be sold or disposed of by any Grantor

delivered to each Collateral Agent, at least ten Business Days prior to the date
of the proposed release, a written request for release identifying the relevant
Grantor and the terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail,
including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together
with a certification by the Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to such
Collateral Agent stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 7.13 REINSTATEMENT
Each Grantor further agrees that, if any payment made by any Loan
Party or other Person and applied to the Obligations is at any time annulled,
avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of
Collateral are required to be returned by any Secured Party to such Loan Party,
its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any Grantor, under
any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then,
to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral
securing such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully
as if such payment had never been made or, if prior thereto the Lien granted
hereby or other Collateral securing such liability hereunder shall have been
released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation or surrender), such Lien
or other Collateral shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior
cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or
otherwise affect any Lien or other Collateral securing the obligations of any
Grantor in respect of the amount of such payment.

TO
PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
FORM OF DEPOSIT ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT
______________ __, ___
[Financial Institution]
[Address]
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to account no. [__________] maintained with you (the
"BANK") by [ ] (the "COMPANY"), [as borrower] [as guarantor] into which funds
are deposited from time to time (the "ACCOUNT"). The Company has entered into a
Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of April 6, 2004 (as the same may be
amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
"PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT"), among the Company, certain of its subsidiaries
and/or affiliates party thereto and Citicorp North America, Inc. as
administrative agent for the Lenders and the Issuers and collateral agent for
the First-Priority Secured Parties (in such capacity, the "ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT"), and as collateral agent for the Tranche C Secured Parties (in such
capacity, the "TRANCHE C AGENT" and, together with the Administrative Agent, the
"COLLATERAL AGENTS").
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement and related documents, the Company

_____________ __, 20__
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned ___________________ (the "PLEDGOR") together with
certain of its affiliates are party to a Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as
of April 6, 2004, in favor of Citicorp North America, Inc., as administrative
agent for the First-Priority Secured Parties (the "ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT") and as
agent for the Tranche C Secured Parties (the "TRANCHE C AGENT," and, together
with the Administrative Agent, the "COLLATERAL AGENTS") referred to therein
pursuant to which security interests are granted by the Pledgor in all present
and future Assets (hereinafter defined) in Account No. _______ of the Pledgor
(the "PLEDGE").
In connection therewith, the Pledgor hereby instructs you (the
"APPROVED SECURITIES INTERMEDIARY") to do all of the following:
1. maintain the Account, as "____________- Citicorp North America,
Inc. Control Account";
2. hold in the Account the assets, including, without limitation, all
financial assets, securities, security entitlements and all other
property and rights now or hereafter received in such Account
(collectively the "ASSETS"), including, without limitation, those
assets listed on SCHEDULE A (LIST OF ASSETS) attached hereto and made
a part hereof;
3. provide to each Collateral Agent with a duplicate copy to the Pledgor,
a monthly statement of Assets and a confirmation statement of each
transaction effected in the Account after such transaction is
effected; and
4. honor only the instructions or entitlement orders (within the meaning
of Section 8-102 of the UCC (as defined below) (the "ENTITLEMENT
ORDERS") in regard to or in connection with the Account given by an
Authorized Officer of the Collateral Agent, except as provided in the
following sentence. Until such time as any Collateral Agent gives a
written notice in the form of EXHIBIT A hereto to the Approved
Securities Intermediary that the Pledgor's rights under this sentence
have been terminated (on which notice the Approved Securities
Intermediary may rely exclusively), the Pledgor acting through an
Authorized Officer of the Pledgor may (a) exercise any voting right
that it may have with respect to any Asset, (b) give Entitlement
Orders and otherwise give instructions to enter into purchase or sale
transactions in the Account and (c) withdraw and receive for its own
use all regularly scheduled interest and dividends paid with respect
to the Assets and all cash proceeds of any sale of Assets ("PERMITTED
A2-3
WITHDRAWALS"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, unless both Collateral Agents
have consented to the specific transaction, the Pledgor shall not
instruct the Approved Securities Intermediary to deliver and, except
as may be required by law or by court order, the Approved Securities
Intermediary shall not deliver, cash, securities, or proceeds from the
sale of, or distributions on, such securities out of the Account to
the Pledgor or to any other person or entity other than Permitted
Withdrawals.
By its signature below, the Approved Securities Intermediary agrees to
comply with the Entitlement Orders and instructions of an Authorized Officer of
the Collateral Agent (including, without limitation, any instruction with
respect to sales, trades, transfers and withdrawals of cash or other of the
Assets) without the further consent of the Pledgor or any other person (it being
understood and agreed by the Pledgor that the Approved Securities Intermediary
shall have no duty or obligation whatsoever to have knowledge of the terms of
the Pledge and Security Agreement or to determine whether or not an event of
default exists thereunder). The Pledgor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Approved Securities Intermediary, its affiliates, officers and
employees from and against all claims, causes of action, liabilities, lawsuits,
demands and damages, including, without limitation, all court costs and
reasonable attorney's fees, that may result by reason of the Approved Securities
Intermediary complying with such instructions of any Collateral Agent.
The Authorized Officer of the Collateral Agent who shall give oral
instructions hereunder shall confirm the same in writing to the Approved
Securities Intermediary within five days after such oral instructions are given.
For the purpose of this Agreement, the term "AUTHORIZED OFFICER OF THE
PLEDGOR" shall refer in the singular to ___________________ or
___________________ (each of whom is, on the date hereof, an officer or director
of the Pledgor) and "AUTHORIZED OFFICER OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT" shall refer in
the singular to any person who is a vice president or managing director of
either Collateral Agent. In the event that the Pledgor shall find it advisable
to designate a replacement for any Authorized Officer of the Pledgor, written
notice of any such replacement shall be given to the Approved Securities
Intermediary and each Collateral Agent.
Except with respect to the obligations and duties as set forth herein,
this Agreement shall not impose or create any obligation or duty upon the
Approved Securities Intermediary greater than or in addition to the customary
and usual obligations and duties of the Approved Securities Intermediary to the
Pledgor.
As long as the Assets are pledged to either Collateral Agent, (i) the
Approved Securities Intermediary shall not invade the Assets to cover margin
debits or calls in any other account of the Pledgor and (ii) the Approved
Securities Intermediary agrees that, except for liens resulting from customary
commissions, fees, or charges based upon transactions in the Account, it
subordinates in favor of the Collateral Agents, any security interest, lien or
right of setoff the Approved Securities Intermediary may have. The Approved
Securities Intermediary acknowledges that it has not received notice of any
other security interest in the Account or the Assets. In the event any such
notice is received, the Approved Securities Intermediary shall promptly notify
each Collateral Agent. The Pledgor herein represents that the Assets are free
and clear of any lien or encumbrance and agrees that, with the exception of the
security interests granted to the Collateral Agents, no lien or encumbrance
shall be placed by it on the Assets
A2-4
without the express written consent of each Collateral Agent, and the Approved
Securities Intermediary.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and it and the rights
and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and
interpreted in accordance with, and the law of the Approved Securities
Intermediary's jurisdiction for the purposes of Section 8-110 of the Uniform
Commercial Code in effect in the State of
New York (the "UCC") shall be, the law
of the State of
New York.
The Approved Securities Intermediary shall treat all property at any
time held by the Approved Securities Intermediary in the Account as Financial
Assets within the meaning of the UCC. The Approved Securities Intermediary
acknowledges that this Agreement constitutes written notification to the
Approved Securities Intermediary, pursuant to the UCC and any applicable federal
regulations for the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, of the Collateral Agents'
security interests in the Assets. The Pledgor, the Collateral Agents and
Approved Securities Intermediary are entering into this Agreement to provide for
each Collateral Agent's control of the Assets and to confirm the first priority
security interest of the Administrative Agent in the Assets and the second
priority security interest of the Tranche C Agent in the Assets.
If any term or provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid
or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall be construed in all
respects as if the invalid or unenforceable term or provision were omitted. This
Agreement may not be altered or amended in any manner without the express
written consent of the Pledgor, the Collateral Agent, and the Approved
Securities Intermediary. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, all of which shall constitute one original agreement.
The Pledgor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold you, your directors,
officers, agents and employees harmless against all claims, causes of action,
liabilities, lawsuits, demands and damages, including, without limitation, all
court costs and reasonable attorney fees, in each case in any way related to or
arising out of or in connection with this letter agreement or any action taken
or not taken pursuant hereto, except to the extent caused by your gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
This Agreement may be terminated by the Approved Securities
Intermediary upon 30 day's prior written notice to the Pledgor and the
Collateral Agents. Upon expiration of such 30-day period, the Approved
Securities Intermediary shall be under no further obligation except to hold the
Assets in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, pending receipt of
written instructions from the Pledgor and the Collateral Agents, jointly,
regarding the further disposition of the pledged Assets.
The Pledgor acknowledges that this Agreement supplements any existing
agreement of the Pledgor with the Approved Securities Intermediary and, except
as expressly provided herein, is in no way intended to abridge any right that
the Approved Securities Intermediary might otherwise have.
A2-5
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Pledgor, the Administrative Agent and the
Tranche C Agent have caused this Agreement to be executed by their duly
authorized officers all as of the date first above written.
