Pledged Collateral, such Grantor agrees to be bound by the terms of this
Agreement relating to the Pledged Collateral issued by it and shall comply

of the rights granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder (including those
described in Section 5.3 (Pledged Collateral)), and (ii) the pledge by each
other Grantor, pursuant to the terms hereof, of the Pledged Stock in such
Person and, to the extent required in Section 4.4(a), to the transfer of such
Pledged Stock to the Collateral Agent or its nominee and to the substitution
of the Collateral Agent or its nominee as a holder of such Pledged Stock with
all the rights, powers and duties of other holders of Pledged Stock of the
same class and, if the Grantor having pledged such Pledged Stock hereunder had
any right, power or duty at the time of such pledge or at the time of such
substitution beyond that of such other holders, with all such additional
rights, powers and duties. Such Grantor agrees to execute and deliver to the

necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Company or the Collateral Agent,
to evidence, formalize or otherwise give effect to the consents given in this
clause (e).
(f) Such Grantor shall not, without the consent of the
Collateral Agent, agree to any amendment of any Constituent Document that in
any way adversely affects the perfection of the security interest of the
Collateral Agent in the Pledged Collateral pledged by such Grantor hereunder,
including any amendment electing to treat any membership interest or
partnership interest that is part of the Pledged Collateral as a "security"
under Section 8-103 of the UCC, or any election to turn any previously
uncertificated Stock that is part of the Pledged Collateral into certificated
Stock.

Article V REMEDIAL PROVISIONS
Section 5.1 Code and Other Remedies
During the continuance of an Event of Default, the
Collateral Agent may in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it
in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing,
evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of
a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of
performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of
any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any
Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses,
advertisements and notices are hereby waived to the extent permitted by
applicable law), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive,
appropriate and realize upon any Collateral, and may forthwith sell, lease,
assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and
deliver any Collateral (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or
more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's
board or office of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party or elsewhere upon
such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it
may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption
of any credit risk. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the
Collateral Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and,
to the extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable law, upon any such
private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so
sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of any Grantor, which right or
equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the
Collateral Agent's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available
to the Collateral Agent at places that the Collateral Agent shall reasonably
select, whether at such Grantor's premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent
shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this
Section 5.1, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind
incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of
any Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the
Collateral Agent and any other Secured Party hereunder, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the
Secured Obligations, in such order as the Intercreditor Agreement shall
prescribe, and only after such application and after the payment by the
Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need
the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the
extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages
and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured
Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any
notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required
by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10
days before such sale or other disposition.
Section 5.2 Accounts and Payments in Respect of General Intangibles
(a) In addition to, and not in substitution for, any
similar requirement in the Credit Agreement, if required by the Collateral
Agent at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payment
of Accounts or payment in respect of General Intangibles, when collected by
any Grantor, shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days)
deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such
Grantor to the Collateral Agent, in an Approved Deposit Account or a Cash
Collateral Account, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent as provided
in Section 5.4 (Proceeds to be Turned Over To Collateral Agent). Until so
turned over, such payment shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the
Collateral Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such
deposit of Proceeds of Accounts and payments in respect of General Intangibles
shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature
and source of the payments included in the deposit.
(b) At the Collateral Agent's request, during the
continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall deliver to the
Collateral Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to,
the agreements and transactions that gave rise to the Accounts or payments in
respect of General Intangibles, including all original orders, invoices and
shipping receipts.
(c) Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the
Collateral Agent may, without notice, at any time during the continuance of an
Event of Default, limit or terminate the authority of a Grantor to collect its
Accounts or amounts due under General Intangibles or any thereof.
(d) The Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name
of others may at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default
communicate with Account Debtors to verify with them to the Collateral Agent's
satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Account or amounts due
under any General Intangible.
(e) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent at any
time during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify
Account Debtors that the Accounts or General Intangibles have been
collaterally assigned to the Collateral Agent and that payments in respect
thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent. In addition, the
Collateral Agent may at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default
enforce such Grantor's rights against such Account Debtors and obligors of
General Intangibles.
(f) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Accounts and payments in
respect of General Intangibles to observe and perform all the conditions and
obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance
with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Collateral
Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under
any agreement giving rise to an Account or a payment in respect of a General
Intangible by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the
Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party of any payment relating thereto,
nor shall the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party be obligated in any
manner to perform any obligation of any Grantor under or pursuant to any
agreement giving rise to an Account or a payment in respect of a General
Intangible, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the
sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any
performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any
action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts
that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time
or times.
Section 5.3 Pledged Collateral
(a) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon notice by the
Collateral Agent to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Collateral Agent
shall have the right to receive any Proceeds of the Pledged Collateral and
make application thereof to the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in
the Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) the 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 Collateral, 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 the Collateral Agent may determine), all without
liability except to account for property actually received by it; provided,
however, that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to
exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for
any failure to do so or delay in so doing.
(b) In order to permit the 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 the Collateral Agent
all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the
Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) without
limiting the effect of clause (i) above, such Grantor hereby grants to the
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) only during the continuance of an Event of
Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon the earlier to occur of (x)
the termination of such Event of Default and (y) the payment in full of the
Secured 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 the Collateral
Agent in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing 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 permitted hereby, pay any dividend or
other payment with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the
Collateral Agent.
Section 5.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Collateral Agent
All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent under
this Section 5 in cash or Cash Equivalents shall be held by the Collateral
Agent in a Cash Collateral Account. All such Proceeds while held by the
Collateral Agent in a Cash Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for
the Collateral Agent) shall continue to be held 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) Each Grantor recognizes that the 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. The Collateral Agent shall be under no 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.
(b) Each Grantor agrees to use its best 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 the Collateral
Agent and other Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent 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 Grantor
hereby waives 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 and is continuing under the Credit Agreement or that the
Secured Obligations have been paid in full.
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 fees and disbursements of
any attorney employed by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to
collect such deficiency in accordance with Section 14.6 of the Credit
Agreement.
Section 5.7 Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property
(a) Each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent,
solely to the extent necessary to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise the
rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Security Documents, an
irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or
other compensation to the Grantors) to, during the continuance of an Event of
Default, use, license or sublicense any Collateral consisting of Intellectual
Property, now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor and wherever the
same may be located, which license shall include reasonable access to all
media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all
computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.
Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that (i) any security
interest granted to the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder
or any other Security Document on any Intellectual Property of any Grantor,
and the exercise of any rights and remedies (including any sale, transfer or
disposal) by the Collateral Agent related thereto, shall be subject to the
license granted in the foregoing sentence at all times and (ii) the Collateral
Agent may exercise such license for the benefit of any Secured Party
(including the Multi-Currency Secured Parties with respect to the sale,
transfer or disposal of any Multi-Currency Collateral), regardless of the
priority of Liens on any Collateral granted to such Secured Party, in
accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in
this Agreement, any security interest granted hereunder in any Collateral
consisting of Intellectual Property shall be subject to the license granted
under the preceding paragraph (a), as such license may be exercised for the
benefit of the Secured Parties holding such license, and any sale or transfer
of such Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property upon any exercise of
remedies under this Agreement shall be made expressly subject to such license.
Article VI THE COLLATERAL AGENT
Section 6.1 Collateral Agent's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact
(a) Subject to the last sentence of this Section
6.1(a), each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the
Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, 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 the 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 the 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 the Collateral Agent may request to evidence the 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 the Collateral Agent or as the 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 the 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 the 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
the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes,
and 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 necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral
and the Collateral Agent's 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, the 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.
(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any
of its agreements contained herein, the 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 reasonable expenses of the 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 Alternate Base Rate Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of
payment by the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant
Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the 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 Agent
The 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 the Collateral Agent
deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Collateral Agent,
any 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 the Collateral Agent
hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent's interest in the
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any
other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent 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 or willful misconduct.
Section 6.3 Authorization of Financing Statements
Each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent (and, to
the extent authorized by the Collateral Agent, 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 the Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate
to perfect the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement
under the laws of any jurisdiction of the United States, 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 the 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 Agent
Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and
responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to
any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by
the 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 the Collateral Agent and the other Secured
Parties, be governed by the Intercreditor Agreement, the Credit Agreement and
by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time
among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the
Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the
Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties 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. To
the extent that the Intercreditor Agreement conflicts with any other Loan
Document with regard to the authority of the Collateral Agent, the
Intercreditor Agreement shall control.
Article VII MISCELLANEOUS
Section 7.1 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 14.1 of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that this
Agreement may be supplemented in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
(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 the Collateral Agent and each
Grantor directly affected thereby in accordance with Section 10.11 (Additional
Stock Pledges) or Section 10.12 (Additional Collateral) of the Credit
Agreement.
Section 7.2 Notices
All notices, requests and demands to or upon the
Collateral Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner
provided for in Section 14.2 (Notices) of the Credit Agreement; provided,
however, that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Grantor shall
be addressed to the Company's notice address set forth in such Section 14.2
(Notices).
Section 7.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies
Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured
Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 7.1
(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 the 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 the 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 the 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.
Section 7.4 Successors and Assigns
This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and
assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent
and each other Secured Party and their successors and assigns; provided,
however, that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent.
Section 7.5 Counterparts
This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the
parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by
telecopy), each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original
and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
Signature pages may 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.
Section 7.6 Severability
Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 7.7 Section Headings
The Article and Section titles contained in this
Agreement are, and shall be, without substantive meaning or content of any
kind whatsoever and are not part of the agreement of the parties hereto.
Section 7.8 Entire Agreement
This Agreement together with the other Loan Documents
represents the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.
Section 7.9 Governing Law
This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the
parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in
accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
Section 7.10 Additional Grantors
If, pursuant to Section 10.10 (Additional Guaranties) of the
Credit Agreement, the Company shall be required to cause any Subsidiary that
is not a Grantor to become a Grantor hereunder, such Subsidiary shall execute
and deliver to the Collateral Agent a Joinder Agreement substantially in the
form of Annex 4 (Form of Joinder Agreement) and shall thereafter for all
purposes be a party hereto and have the same rights, benefits and obligations
as a Grantor party hereto on the Closing Date.
Section 7.11 Release of Collateral
(a) At the time provided in Section 9.1(a) of the
Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens
created hereby and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those
expressly stated to survive such termination) of the 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, the Collateral Agent shall deliver to such
Grantor any Collateral of such Grantor held by the Collateral Agent hereunder
and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall
reasonably request to evidence such termination.
(b) If the Collateral Agent shall be directed or
permitted pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Intercreditor Agreement to release
any Lien created hereby upon any Collateral (including any Collateral sold or
disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Credit
Agreement), such Collateral shall be released from the Lien created hereby to
the extent provided under, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth
in, Section 9.1 of the Intercreditor Agreement (and, upon such release, shall
no longer constitute "Collateral" under the Loan Documents). In connection
therewith, the Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of the
Company, shall execute and deliver to the Company all releases or other
documents, including, without limitation, UCC termination statements,
reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Lien created hereby
on such Collateral. At the request and sole expense of the Company, a Grantor
(and its Subsidiaries) shall be released from its obligations hereunder and
the Lien granted by such Grantor (and its Subsidiaries) on the Collateral
pursuant to this Agreement shall be released in the event that all the capital
stock of such Grantor shall be sold or disposed to the extent permitted by the
Credit Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to
the Collateral Agent, at least ten Business Days (or such shorter period
reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent) 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 Company in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent stating that such transaction is in
compliance with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 7.12 Reinstatement
Each Grantor further agrees that, if any payment made
by any Loan Party or other Person and applied to the Payment 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.
