otherwise provided in subsection (v) below, following an Event of Default, such Grantor shall not

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

with the preceding sentence, any payments of Receivables 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 an 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 such Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any

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
15
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 First Lien Collateral Agent
or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in accordance with this subsection (c) shall be delivered
or subjected to such control upon request of the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Collateral
Agent, as applicable, in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement.
4.4
Investment Related Property. Investment Related Property Generally
(a) Covenants
and Agreements. Each Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that:
(i) in the event it acquires rights in any Investment Related Property 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 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
immediately take all steps, if any, 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 pursuant to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement) 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 ordinary cash dividends and distributions paid in the normal course of the business of
the issuer and consistent with the past practice of the issuer and all scheduled payments of
interest; 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.
16
(i) Each Grantor agrees that with respect to any Investment Related Property in which it currently
has rights 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 it
shall comply with the provisions of this Section 4.4.1(b) immediately 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 (other than any Investment Related Property credited to a Securities Account) it shall
cause such certificate or Instrument to be delivered to the First Lien Collateral Agent or the
Collateral Agent, as applicable, in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, 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), 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 without further consent by such
Grantor.
(c) Voting
and Distributions.
(i) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
|
(1) |
|

property in this Agreement or elsewhere herein or in the Credit Agreement, 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 Credit Agreement; provided, no Grantor shall exercise or
refrain from exercising any such right if the Collateral Agent shall have notified such Grantor
that, in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable judgment, such action would have a Material Adverse
Effect on the value of the Investment Related Property; and provided further, such Grantor shall
give the Collateral Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice of the manner in
which it intends to exercise, or the reasons for refraining from exercising, any such right; it
being understood, however, that neither the voting by such Grantor of any Pledged Stock for, or
such Grantor’s consent to, the election of directors (or similar governing body) at a regularly
scheduled annual or other meeting of stockholders or with respect to incidental matters at any such
meeting, nor such Grantor’s consent to or approval of any action not impermissible under this
Agreement and the Credit Agreement, shall be deemed inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement
or the Credit Agreement within the meaning of this Section 4.4(c)(i)(1), and no notice of any such
voting or consent need be given to the Collateral Agent; and |
|
|
(2) |
|
the Collateral Agent 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 |
17
Grantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights, if necessary, when and to the extent
which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (1) above;
(ii) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default:
|
(1) |
|
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 |
|
|
(2) |
|
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: (A) 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 (B) each Grantor acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may utilize the
power of attorney set forth in Section 6.1. |

respect to: (i) any Securities Accounts or Deposit Accounts that exist on the Closing Date,

in a jurisdiction outside of the United States, each Grantor shall take such additional
commercially reasonable actions, including, without limitation, causing the issuer to
register the pledge on its books and records or making such filings or recordings, in each
case as may be necessary or advisable, under the laws of such issuer’s jurisdiction to
insure the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest of the Collateral

right subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, without notice to any Grantor, to transfer
all or any portion of the Investment Related Property to its name or the name of its
nominee or agent. In addition, the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time

(a) Each Grantor agrees that from time to time subject to the terms and
conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement, at the expense of such Grantor, that it shall promptly

Records, including, without limitation, financing or continuation statements, and amendments
thereto, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Collateral Agent may determine, in
its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted to the
Collateral Agent herein. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same
manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes
such property in any other manner as the Collateral Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, is
necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral
granted to the Collateral Agent herein, including, without limitation, describing such property as
“all assets” or “all personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.” Each Grantor
shall furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time statements and schedules further
identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral
as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.
(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to modify this Agreement only after

to any Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or
fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.

SECTION 6. |
|
COLLATERAL AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. |
6.1 Power of Attorney. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent
(such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such
Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, the Collateral Agent
or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s
discretion subject the terms and conditions
of the Intercreditor Agreement, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Collateral

(e) to prepare and file any UCC financing statements against such

(g) to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to perform or comply or cause performance or
compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, access to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Permitted Liens) levied or placed

necessary to discharge the same to be determined by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion,
any such payments made by the Collateral Agent to become obligations of such Grantor to the
Collateral Agent, due and payable immediately without demand; and
(h) generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with
any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute
owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s
expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things
that the Collateral Agent deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the
Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of
this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
(ii) Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 6.1 to the contrary, the Collateral Agent agrees
that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney
provided for in Section 6.1(h) unless an
Event of Default has occurred.
6.2 No Duty on the Part of Collateral Agent or Secured Parties. The powers conferred on the
Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or
any Secured Party to exercise any
such powers. The Collateral Agent and the 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
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 or willful misconduct.
28
7.1 Generally.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement, if any Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the
Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available
to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent on default under the
UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any
Secured Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of
the following separately, successively or simultaneously:
(i) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its
expense and promptly upon request of the Collateral Agent
forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent
and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral
Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties;
(ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or
without judicial process;
(iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the
Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the
Collateral Agent deems appropriate; and
(iv) without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, sell, assign, lease, license (on an
exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one
or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere,
for cash, on credit or for future delivery, 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
29
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. 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, 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 Lenders and the Lender Counterparties; 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.
30
7.4 Deposit Accounts.
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may,
subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement, apply the balance from any
Deposit Account or instruct the bank at which any Deposit Account is maintained to pay the balance
of any Deposit Account 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 and subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor
Agreement:
(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
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 required by the
Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement and such Grantor shall promptly, upon demand,
reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 10 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
Intellectual Property as provided in this Section, each Grantor agrees to use reasonable
measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement or
other violation of any of such Grantor’s rights in the Intellectual Property by others and
for that
31
purpose agrees to diligently maintain any existing action, suit or proceeding against any
Person so infringing as shall be necessary to prevent such infringement or violation;
(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 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
Intellectual Property;
(iv) within ten (10) Business Days after written notice from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor
shall make available to the Collateral Agent, to the extent within such Grantor’s power and
authority, such personnel in such Grantor’s employ on the date of such Event of Default as the
Collateral Agent may reasonably designate, by name, title or job responsibility, to permit such
Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and
services sold or delivered by such Grantor under or in connection with the Trademarks, Trademark
Licenses, such persons to be available to perform their prior functions on the Collateral Agent’s
behalf and to be compensated by the Collateral Agent at such Grantor’s expense on a per diem,
pro-rata basis consistent with the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of the date
of such Event of Default; and
(v) 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 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) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement, 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
32
continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to the Collateral Agent of any rights, title and
interests in and to the 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 and at such time as the Collateral 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, subject to the terms and conditions of the
Intercreditor Agreement, 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 in an
account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent. 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
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 Credit Agreement; provided, the Collateral Agent shall, after payment
in full of all Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, exercise, or
33
refrain from exercising, any remedies
provided for herein in accordance with the instructions of the holders of a majority of the aggregate notional
amount (or, with respect to any Hedge Agreement that has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the
amount then due and payable (exclusive of expenses and similar payments but including any early termination payments then due)
under such Hedge Agreement) under all Hedge Agreements. 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 fight 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 Requisite Lenders.
Upon any such notice of resignation or any such removal, Requisite Lenders shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’
notice to the Administrative Agent, to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. 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, 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. |
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 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. 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 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 permitted by the Credit
Agreement, the Liens granted herein shall be deemed to be automatically released and such
property shall automatically revert to the applicable Grantor with no further action on the part of
34
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. |
|
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 11. |
|
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
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 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 assigns. No Grantor shall, without the
prior written consent of the Collateral Agent given in accordance with the Credit Agreement,
assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder. This Agreement and the other 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 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
35
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.
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 (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402 OF THE
NEW YORK
GENERAL OBLIGATION LAWS).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the
Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of
February 28, 2007 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“Intercreditor Agreement”), among AZ CHEM US INC., XXXXXXX XXXXX CREDIT PARTNERS L.P., as First Lien
Collateral Agent and CAPITALSOURCE FINANCE LLC, as Second Lien Collateral Agent and certain other
persons party or that may become party thereto from time to time. In the event of any conflict
between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement shall govern and control.
36
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Grantor and the Collateral Agent have caused
this Agreement to be duty executed and delivered by their respective officers thereunto duly
authorized as of the date first written above.

This Securities Account Control Agreement dated as of [___], 20[___] (as amended, supplemented or

Commercial Code as in effect in the State of

Collateral Agent (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“First Lien Security Agreement”) and that certain Second Lien Pledge and Security Agreement dated

“Security Agreement”), the Debtor has granted a security interest in all of the Debtor’s rights in
the Securities Account referred to in Section 2 below to each of the First Lien Collateral Agent
and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, respectively. The First Lien Collateral Agent and Second Lien
Collateral Agent, the Debtor and the Securities Intermediary are entering into this Agreement to
perfect each of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent’s security
interest in such Securities Account. As between the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien
Collateral Agent, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall have a first priority security interest in
such Securities Account and the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall have a second priority security
interest in such Securities Account in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement. The Securities
Intermediary hereby acknowledges that it has received notice of the security interests of the First
Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent in such Securities Account and hereby
acknowledges and consents to such liens.
Section 2. Establishment of Securities Account. The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms
and agrees that:
(a) The Securities Intermediary has established account number [IDENTIFY ACCOUNT NUMBER] in
the name “[IDENTIFY EXACT TITLE OF ACCOUNT]” (such account and any successor account, the
“Securities Account”) and the Securities Intermediary shall not change the name or account number
of the Securities Account without the prior written consent of (i) prior to delivery of a Notice of Termination of the
First Lien Obligations sent by the First Lien Collateral Agent in the form of Exhibit A attached
hereto (“Notice of Termination of First Lien Obligations”), the First Lien Collateral Agent; (ii)
subsequent to deliver of a Notice of Termination of First Lien Obligations sent by the First Lien
Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent; and (iii) prior to delivery pursuant to Section
9(a) of a Notice of Sole Control
EXHIBIT C - 1
delivered by the First Lien Collateral Agent or Second Lien Collateral Agent, as applicable, in
substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B attached here to (“Notice of Sole Control”), the Debtor.
(b) All securities or other property underlying any financial assets credited to the Securities
Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities
Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities
Intermediary or in blank or credited to another securities account
maintained in the name of the
Securities Intermediary and in no case will any financial asset credited to the Securities Account be
registered in the name of the Debtor, payable to the order of the Debtor or specially indorsed to
the Debtor except to the extent the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Securities
Intermediary or in blank;
(c) All property delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to the Security Agreement
will be promptly credited to the Securities Account; and
(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. (a) If at any time the Securities Intermediary
shall receive any order from the First Lien Collateral Agent directing transfer redemption of any
financial asset credited 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 credited 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 sent by the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Securities
Intermediary shall not comply with any entitlement order issued by the Second Lien Collateral Agent
without the written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent. 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
(either with the written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent or following the receipt by
Securities Intermediary of a Notice of Termination of First Lien Obligations sent by the First Lien
Collateral Agent), If applicable, the Securities Intermediary shall follow the orders issued by the
applicable Collateral Agent.
(b) Each Collateral Agent agrees that, unless and until an Event of Default (as defmed in the
Intercreditor Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, it will
neither (1)direct or instruct, or
deliver any entitlement order to, the Securities Intermediary in any
respect regarding the Securities Account nor (2) deliver or a Notice of Sole Control.
EXHIBIT C-2
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
interest of the Collateral Agent. 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 Agent (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;

TO PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
DEPOSIT ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT
This Deposit Account Control Agreement dated as of [ ], 20[ ] (as amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”) among
[ ] (the “Debtor”), XXXXXXX SACHS CREDIT PARTNERS L.P., as collateral agent for the First Lien
Claimholders (the “First Lien Collateral Agent”), CAPITALSOURCE FINANCE LLC, as agent for the Second Lien
Claimholders (the “Second Lien Collateral Agent” and together the First Lien Collateral Agent, the
“Collateral Agents”) and
[ ], in its capacity as a “bank” as defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC (in such capacity, the
“Financial Institution”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning
assigned thereto in the Intercreditor Agreement, dated [as of the date hereof], between the Debtor,
the other Grantors party thereto and the Collateral Agent (as amended, restated, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”). All references herein to the
“UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of [New York].
Section 1. Priority of Lien. Pursuant to that certain First Lien Pledge and Security Agreement
dated as of February 28, 2007, among the Debtor, the other grantors party thereto and the First
Lien Collateral Agent (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time,
the “First Lien Security Agreement”) and that certain Second Lien Pledge and Security Agreement
dated as of February 28, 2007, among the Debtor, the other grantors party thereto and the Second
Lien Collateral Agent (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time,
the “Second Lien Security Agreement”; and together with the First Lien Security Agreement, the
“Security Agreement”), the Debtor has granted a security interest in all of the Debtor’s rights in
the Deposit Account referred to in Section 2 below to each of the First Lien Collateral Agent and
the Second Lien Collateral Agent, respectively. The First Lien Collateral Agent and Second Lien
Collateral Agent, the Debtor and the Financial Institution are entering into this Agreement to
perfect each of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent’s security
interest in such Deposit Account. As between the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien
Collateral Agent, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall have a first priority security interest in
such Deposit Account and the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall have a second priority security
interest in such Deposit Account in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement. The Financial
Institution hereby acknowledges that it has received notice of the security interests of the First
Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent in such Deposit Account and hereby
acknowledges and consents to such liens.
Section 2. Establishment of Deposit Account. The Financial Institution hereby confirms and
agrees that:
(a) The Financial Institution has established account number [IDENTIFY ACCOUNT NUMBER] in the
name “[IDENTIFY EXACT TITLE OF ACCOUNT]” (such account and any successor account, the “Deposit
Account”) and the Financial Institution shall not change the name or account number of the Deposit
Account without
the prior written consent of (i) prior to delivery of a Notice of Termination of First Lien
Obligations sent by the First Lien Collateral Agent in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto
(“Notice of Termination of First Lien Obligations”), the First Lien Collateral Agent, (ii)
subsequent to delivery of a Notice of Termination of First Lien Obligations sent by the First Lien
Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, and (iii) prior to delivery pursuant to Section
8(a) of a Notice of Sole Control
EXHIBIT D- 1
delivered by the First Lien Collateral Agent or Second Lien Collateral Agent, as applicable, in
substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto (“Notice of Sole Control”), the Debtor; and
(b) The Deposit Account is a “deposit account” within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(29) of
the UCC.
Section 3. Control of the Deposit Account. (a) If at any time the Financial Institution shall
receive any instructions originated by the First Lien Collateral Agent directing the disposition of
funds in the Deposit Account, the Financial Institution shall comply with such instructions without
further consent by the Debtor or any other person. If at any time the Financial Institution shall
receive any instructions originated by the Second Lien Collateral Agent directing the disposition
of funds in the Deposit Account, the Financial Institution shall comply with such instructions
without further consent by the Debtor or any other person; provided that, prior to receipt by the
Financial Institution of a Notice of Termination of First Lien Obligations sent by the First Lien
Collateral Agent, the Financial Institution shall not comply with instructions originated by the
Second Lien Collateral Agent without the written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent. The
Financial Institution hereby acknowledges that it has received notice of the security interest of
the Collateral Agents in the Deposit Account and hereby acknowledges and consents to such lien and
shall comply with instructions from the Debtor directing the disposition of funds in the Deposit
Account until such time as the Financial Institution has received a Notice of Sole Control
delivered pursuant to Section 8(a). If the Debtor is otherwise entitled to issue instructions and
such instructions conflict with any instructions issued the First Lien Collateral Agent or the
Second Lien Collateral Agent (either with the written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent or
following the receipt by the Financial Institution of a Notice of Termination of First Lien
Obligations sent by the First Lien Collateral Agent), if applicable, the Financial Institution
shall follow the instructions issued by the applicable Collateral Agent.
(b Each Collateral Agent agrees that, unless and until an Event of Default (as defined in
the Intercreditor Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, it will neither (1) direct or instruct
the Financial Institution in any respect regarding the Deposit Account nor (2) deliver a Notice of
Sole Control.
Section 4. Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off. In the event that the Financial
Institution has or subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security
interest in the Deposit Account or any funds credited thereto, the Financial Institution hereby
agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Collateral
Agent. Money and other items credited to the Deposit 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 Agent
(except that the Financial Institution may
set off (i) all amounts due to the Financial Institution in respect of customary fees and
expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Deposit Account and (ii) the face amount
of any checks which have been credited to such Deposit Account but are subsequently returned unpaid
because of uncollected or insufficient funds).
Section 5. Choice of Law. This Agreement and the Deposit 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 Financial Institution’s jurisdiction (within the
meaning of Section 9-304 of the UCC) and the Deposit Account shall be governed by the laws of the
State of [New York].
EXHIBIT D-2
Section 6. Conflict with Other Agreements.
(a) Subject to Section 15, 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;
and
(c) The Financial Institution hereby confirms and agrees that:
(i) There are no other agreements entered into between the Financial Institution
and the Debtor with respect to the Deposit Account [other than ]; and
(ii) It has not entered into, and until the termination of this
Agreement, will not enter into, any agreement with any other person relating the
Deposit Account and/or any funds credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed
to comply with instructions originated by such persons as contemplated by Section
9-104 of the UCC.
Section 7. Adverse Claims. The Financial Institution does not know of any liens, claims
or encumbrances relating to the Deposit Account. If any person asserts any lien, encumbrance or
adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or
similar process) against the Deposit Account, the Financial Institution will promptly notify the
Collateral Agent and the Debtor thereof.
Section 8. Maintenance of Deposit Account. In addition to, and not in lieu of, the obligation
of the Financial Institution to honor instructions as set forth in Section 2 hereof, the Financial
Institution agrees to maintain the Deposit 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 by the First Lien Collateral Agent,
the Second Lien Collateral Agent, as the case may be, delivers to the Financial Institution a
Notice of Sole Control in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto, the Financial
Institution agrees that after receipt of such notice, it will cease to follow any instruction with
respect to the Deposit Account from the Debtor.
(b) Statements and Confirmations. The Financial Institution will promptly send copies of
all statements, confirmations and other correspondence concerning the Deposit Account
simultaneously to each of the Debtor and each Collateral Agent at the address for each set forth in
Section 11 of this Agreement; and

the Internal Revenue Service and all state and local taxing authorities under the name and taxpayer
identification number of the Debtor.

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 Financial Institution.

hereby agree that (a) the Financial Institution is released from
any and all liabilities to the Debtor

and the compliance of the Financial
Institution with the terms hereof, except to the extent that such
liabilities arise from the Financial
Institution’s negligence and (b) the Debtor, its successors
and assigns shall at all times indemnify
and save harmless the Financial Institution 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 Financial Institution
with the terms hereof, except to the extent that such arises from the Financial Institution’s
negligence, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses,

and other expenses of every nature and character arising by reason of the same, until the
termination of this Agreement.
Section 11. Successors; Assignment. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and

heirs and personal representatives who obtain such rights solely by operation of law. Each

Institution and by sending written notice of such assignment to the Debtor.
