any successor provision), such intent-to-use trademark application shall be considered Collateral.
3. Security for Secured Obligations. The Security Interest created hereby

of them, to Agent, the Lender Group, the Bank Product Providers or any of them, but for the fact
that they are unenforceable or not allowable (in whole or in part) as a claim in an Insolvency
Proceeding involving any Grantor due to the existence of such Insolvency Proceeding.
4. Grantors Remain Liable. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, (a) each of the Grantors shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements
included in the Collateral, including the Pledged Operating Agreements and the Pledged Partnership

action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder. Until an Event of Default
shall occur and be continuing, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Credit
Agreement, or any other Loan Document, Grantors shall have the right to possession and enjoyment of
the Collateral for the purpose of conducting the ordinary course of their respective businesses,
subject to and upon the terms hereof and of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

record and beneficial ownership of the Pledged Interests, including all voting, consensual,
dividend, and distribution rights, shall, subject to any restrictions contained in the Credit
Agreement, remain in the applicable Grantor until (i) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of
Default and (ii) Agent has notified the applicable Grantor of Agent’s election to exercise such

preserve rights in the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property
Licenses against any other Person, but any member of the Lender Group may do so at its option from

requiring all current employees, consultants, licensees, vendors and contractors with access to
such information to execute appropriate confidentiality agreements; (B) taking actions reasonably
necessary to ensure that no trade secret falls into the public domain; and (C) protecting the
secrecy and confidentiality of the source code of all software programs and applications of which

(viii) No Grantor shall enter into any Intellectual Property License to receive

Intellectual Property License (and all rights of Grantor thereunder) to the (and any transferees of
Agent).

(i) If any Grantor shall acquire, obtain, receive or become entitled to receive

Business Days of acquiring or obtaining such Collateral) deliver to Agent a duly executed Pledged
Interests Addendum identifying such Pledged Interests;
(ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
following the request of Agent, all sums of money and property paid or distributed in respect of
the Investment Related Property that are received by any Grantor shall be held by the Grantors in
trust for the benefit of Agent segregated from such Grantor’s other property, and such Grantor
shall deliver it forthwith to Agent in the exact form received;
(iii) Each Grantor shall promptly deliver to Agent a copy of each material notice
or other material communication received by it in respect of any Pledged Interests;
(iv) No Grantor shall make or consent to any amendment or other modification or
waiver with respect to any Pledged Interests, Pledged Operating Agreement, or Pledged Partnership
Agreement to the extent that such amendment, other modification or waiver could reasonably be
expected to materially adversely affect the interests of Agent or any member of the Lender Group,
or enter into any agreement or permit to exist any restriction with respect to any Pledged
Interests if the same is prohibited pursuant to the Loan Documents;
13
(v) Each Grantor agrees that it will cooperate with Agent in obtaining all
necessary approvals and making all necessary filings under federal, state, local, or foreign law to
effect the perfection of the Security Interest on the Investment Related Property or to effect any
sale or transfer thereof;
(vi) As to all limited liability company or partnership interests, issued under
any Pledged Operating Agreement or Pledged Partnership Agreement, each Grantor hereby covenants
that the Pledged Interests issued pursuant to such agreement (A) are not and shall not be dealt in
or traded on securities exchanges or in securities markets, (B) do not and will not constitute
investment company securities, and (C) are not and will not be held by such Grantor in a securities
account. In addition, none of the Pledged Operating Agreements, the Pledged Partnership
Agreements, or any other agreements governing any of the Pledged Interests issued under any Pledged
Operating Agreement or Pledged Partnership Agreement, provide or shall provide that such Pledged
Interests are securities governed by Division 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any
relevant jurisdiction.
(i) Real Property; Fixtures. Each Grantor covenants and agrees that upon
the acquisition of any fee interest in Real Property it will promptly (and in any event within two
(2) Business Days of acquisition) notify Agent in writing of the acquisition of such Real Property
and will grant to Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, a
first priority Mortgage on each fee interest in Real Property now or hereafter owned by such
Grantor and shall deliver such other documentation and opinions, in form and substance satisfactory
to Agent, in connection with the grant of such Mortgage as Agent shall request in its Permitted
Discretion, including title insurance policies, financing statements, fixture filings and
environmental audits and such Grantor shall pay all recording costs, intangible taxes and other
fees and costs (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) incurred in connection therewith.
Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all of the
Collateral shall remain personal property regardless of the manner of its attachment or affixation
to real property;
(j) Transfers and Other Liens. Grantors shall not (i) sell, assign (by
operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of
the Collateral, except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, or (ii) create or permit to
exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral of any Grantor, except for Permitted
Liens. The inclusion of Proceeds in the Collateral shall not be deemed to constitute Agent’s
consent to any sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral except as expressly permitted in
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;
(k) Controlled Accounts.
(i) Each Grantor shall (A) establish and maintain cash management services of a
type and on terms reasonably satisfactory to Agent at one or more of the banks set forth on
Schedule 6(k) (each a “Controlled Account Bank”), and shall take reasonable steps
to ensure that all of its and its Non-CFC Subsidiaries’ Account Debtors forward payment of the
amounts owed by them directly to such Controlled Account Bank, and (B) deposit or cause to be
deposited promptly, and in any event no later than the first Business Day after the date of receipt
thereof, all of their Collections (including those sent directly by their Account Debtors to a
Grantor) into a bank account of such Grantor (each, a “Controlled Account”) at one of the
Controlled Account Banks;
(ii) Each Grantor shall establish and maintain Controlled Account Agreements with
Agent and the applicable Controlled Account Bank, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
Agent. Each such Controlled Account Agreement shall provide, among other things, that (A) the
Controlled Account Bank will comply with any instructions originated by Agent directing the
disposition of the funds in such Controlled Account without further consent by the applicable
Grantor, (B) the Controlled Account Bank waives, subordinates, or agrees not to exercise any rights
of setoff or recoupment or any other claim against the applicable Controlled Account other than for
payment of its service fees and other charges directly related to the administration of such
Controlled Account and for returned checks or other items of payment, and (C) the
14
Controlled Account Bank will forward by daily sweep all amounts in the applicable Controlled
Account to the Agent’s Account; and
(iii) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Borrowers may amend Schedule 6(k) to add or replace a Controlled Account Bank or Controlled
Account; provided, however, that (A) such prospective Controlled Account Bank shall
be reasonably satisfactory to Agent, and (B) prior to the time of the opening of such Controlled
Account, the applicable Grantor and such prospective Controlled Account Bank shall have executed
and delivered to Agent a Controlled Account Agreement. Each Grantor shall close any of its
Controlled Accounts (and establish replacement Controlled Account accounts in accordance with the
foregoing sentence) as promptly as practicable and in any event within forty-five (45) days of
notice from Agent that the operating performance, funds transfer, or availability procedures or
performance of the Controlled Account Bank with respect to Controlled Account Accounts or Agent’s
liability under any Controlled Account Agreement with such Controlled Account Bank is no longer
acceptable in Agent’s reasonable judgment;
7. Relation to Other Security Documents. The provisions of this Agreement
shall be read and construed with the other Loan Documents referred to below in the manner so
indicated.
(a) Credit Agreement. In the event of any conflict between any provision
in this Agreement and a provision in the Credit Agreement, such provision of the Credit Agreement
shall control.

the Copyright Security Agreements, Trademark Security Agreements, and Patent Security Agreements
are supplemental to the provisions of this Agreement, and nothing contained in the Copyright
Security Agreements, Trademark Security Agreements, or the Patent Security Agreements shall limit

provision in this Agreement and a provision in a Copyright Security Agreement, Trademark Security
Agreement or Patent Security Agreement, such provision of this Agreement shall control.
8. Further Assurances.
(a) Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at its own expense, such Grantor
will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further
action, that Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the Security Interest

or to enable Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any of
the Collateral.

or filing office acceptance. Each Grantor also hereby ratifies any and all financing statements or
amendments previously filed by Agent in any jurisdiction.
(d) Each Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing
statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement filed in
connection with this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent, subject to such
Grantor’s rights under Section 9509(d)(2) of the Code.
15
9. Agent’s Right to Perform Contracts, Exercise Rights, etc. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent (or its designee) (a) may
proceed to perform any and all of the obligations of any Grantor contained in any contract, lease,
or other agreement and exercise any and all rights of any Grantor therein contained as fully as
such Grantor itself could, (b) shall have the right to use any Grantor’s rights under Intellectual
Property Licenses in connection with the enforcement of Agent’s rights hereunder, including the
right to prepare for sale and sell any and all Inventory and Equipment now or hereafter owned by
any Grantor and now or hereafter covered by such licenses, and (c) shall have the right to request
that any Stock that is pledged hereunder be registered in the name of Agent or any of its nominees.
10. Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably
appoints Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and
in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, at such time as an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing under the Credit Agreement, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Agent
may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including:
(a) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive and give
acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in connection with the Accounts
or any other Collateral of such Grantor;
(b) to receive and open all mail addressed to such Grantor and to notify postal
authorities to change the address for the delivery of mail to such Grantor to that of Agent
(provided that, upon removing Collateral or information regarding Collateral from such mail, Agent
shall forward such mail to Grantor);
(c) to receive, indorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents,
Negotiable Collateral or Chattel Paper;
(d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which Agent
may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral of such Grantor or
otherwise to enforce the rights of Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;
(e) to repair, alter, or supply goods, if any, necessary to fulfill in whole or in
part the purchase order of any Person obligated to such Grantor in respect of any Account of such
Grantor;
(f) to use any Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Licenses of such
Grantor, including but not limited to any labels, Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain
names, industrial designs, Copyrights, or advertising matter, in preparing for sale, advertising
for sale, or selling Inventory or other Collateral and to collect any amounts due under Accounts,
contracts or Negotiable Collateral of such Grantor; and
(g) Agent, on behalf of the Lender Group or the Bank Product Providers, shall have
the right, but shall not be obligated, to bring suit in its own name to enforce the Intellectual
Property and Intellectual Property Licenses and, if Agent shall commence any such suit, the
appropriate Grantor shall, at the request of Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and
all proper documents reasonably required by Agent in aid of such enforcement.
To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorney-in-fact
shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an
interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated.
11. Agent May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement
contained herein, Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the
reasonable expenses of Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable, jointly and
severally, by Grantors.
16
12. Agent’s Duties. The powers conferred on Agent hereunder are solely to
protect Agent’s interest in the Collateral, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank
Product Providers, and shall not impose any duty upon Agent to exercise any such powers. Except
for the safe custody of any Collateral in its actual possession and the accounting for moneys
actually received by it hereunder, 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. Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of any Collateral in its actual possession if such Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially equal to that which Agent accords its own property.
13. Collection of Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral.
At any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent or
Agent’s designee may (a) notify Account Debtors of any Grantor that the Accounts, General
Intangibles, Chattel Paper or Negotiable Collateral of such Grantor have been assigned to Agent,
for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, or that Agent has a security
interest therein, and (b) collect the Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral of
any Grantor directly, and any collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of such Grantor’s
Secured Obligations under the Loan Documents.
14. Disposition of Pledged Interests by Agent. None of the Pledged
Interests existing as of the date of this Agreement are, and none of the Pledged Interests
hereafter acquired on the date of acquisition thereof will be, registered or qualified under the
various federal or state securities laws of the United States and disposition thereof after an
Event of Default may be restricted to one or more private (instead of public) sales in view of the
lack of such registration. Each Grantor understands that in connection with such disposition,
Agent may approach only a restricted number of potential purchasers and further understands that a
sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Pledged Interests than if the Pledged
Interests were registered and qualified pursuant to federal and state securities laws and sold on
the open market. Each Grantor, therefore, agrees that: (a) if Agent shall, pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement, sell or cause the Pledged Interests or any portion thereof to be sold at a
private sale, Agent shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any nationally
recognized brokerage or investment firm (but shall not be obligated to seek such advice and the
failure to do so shall not be considered in determining the commercial reasonableness of such
action) as to the best manner in which to offer the Pledged Interest or any portion thereof for
sale and as to the best price reasonably obtainable at the private sale thereof; and (b) such
reliance shall be conclusive evidence that Agent has handled the disposition in a commercially
reasonable manner.
15. Voting and Other Rights in Respect of Pledged Interests.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i)
Agent may, at its option, and with two (2) Business Days prior notice to any Grantor, and in
addition to all rights and remedies available to Agent under any other agreement, at law, in
equity, or otherwise, exercise all voting rights, or any other ownership or consensual rights
(including any dividend or distribution rights) in respect of the Pledged Interests owned by such
Grantor, but under no circumstances is Agent obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise
such rights, and (ii) if Agent duly exercises its right to vote any of such Pledged Interests, each
Grantor hereby appoints Agent, such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and IRREVOCABLE
PROXY to vote such Pledged Interests in any manner Agent deems advisable for or against all matters
submitted or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may
be. The power-of-attorney and proxy granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be
irrevocable.
(b) For so long as any Grantor shall have the right to vote the Pledged Interests
owned by it, such Grantor covenants and agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent
of Agent, vote or take any consensual action with respect to such Pledged Interests which would
materially adversely affect the rights of Agent, the other members of the Lender Group, or the Bank
Product Providers, or the value of the Pledged Interests.
16. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default:
17
(a) Agent may, and, at the instruction of the Required Lenders, shall exercise in
respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the
other Loan Documents, or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party
on default under the Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that, in any such event, Agent without demand of
performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except a notice specified below
of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and
each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent
permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), may take immediate possession of all or any
portion of the Collateral and (i) require Grantors to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will
at its own expense and upon request of Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as
directed by Agent and make it available to Agent at one or more locations where such Grantor
regularly maintains Inventory, and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the
Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Agent’s
offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as Agent may deem commercially
reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at
least ten (10) days notice to the applicable 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 and
specifically such notice shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition”
within the meaning of Section 9611 of the Code. Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of
Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. 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 the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9610(b) of the Code.
Each Grantor agrees that any sale of Collateral to a licensor pursuant to the terms of a license
agreement between such licensor and a Grantor is sufficient to constitute a commercially reasonable
sale (including as to method, terms, manner, and time) within the meaning of Section 9610 of the
Code.
(b) Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without liability for
royalties or any other charge, each Grantor’s Intellectual Property, including but not limited to,
any labels, Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, Copyrights,
and advertising matter, whether owned by any Grantor or with respect to which any Grantor has
rights under license, sublicense, or other agreements (including any Intellectual Property
License), as it pertains to the Collateral, in preparing for sale, advertising for sale and selling
any Collateral, and each Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall
inure to the benefit of Agent.
(c) Agent may, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in
the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available to it under applicable law and without the
requirement of notice to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (which notice is hereby expressly
waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), (i) with respect
to any Grantor’s Deposit Accounts in which Agent’s Liens are perfected by control under Section
9104 of the Code, instruct the bank maintaining such Deposit Account for the applicable Grantor to
pay the balance of such Deposit Account to or for the benefit of Agent, and (ii) with respect to
any Grantor’s Securities Accounts in which Agent’s Liens are perfected by control under Section
9106 of the Code, instruct the securities intermediary maintaining such Securities Account for the
applicable Grantor to (A) transfer any cash in such Securities Account to or for the benefit of
Agent, or (B) liquidate any financial assets in such Securities Account that are customarily sold
on a recognized market and transfer the cash proceeds thereof to or for the benefit of Agent.
(d) Any cash held by Agent as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by Agent
in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the
Collateral shall be applied against the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in the Credit
Agreement. In the event the proceeds of Collateral are insufficient to satisfy all of the Secured
Obligations in full, each Grantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for any such
deficiency.
(e) Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arise out of a
commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing Agent
shall have
18
the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing. Agent shall have
the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of each Grantor, and each
Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection such
Grantor may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by Agent.
17. Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of Agent as
provided for in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition
to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement or in the other Loan
Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the
exercise or beginning of the exercise by Agent, of any one or more of such rights, powers, or
remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Agent of any or all such other
rights, powers, or remedies.
18. Marshaling. Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or
future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances
of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or
other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder
and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and
in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it
lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling
of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Agent’s rights and remedies
under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured
Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the
Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it
lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
19. Indemnity and Expenses.
(a) Each Grantor agrees to indemnify Agent and the other members of the Lender
Group from and against all claims, lawsuits and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys fees)
growing out of or resulting from this Agreement (including enforcement of this Agreement) or any
other Loan Document to which such Grantor is a party, except claims, losses or liabilities
resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification as
determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. This provision
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement and the repayment of the
Secured Obligations.
(b) Grantors, jointly and severally, shall, upon demand, pay to Agent (or Agent,
may charge to the Loan Account) all the Lender Group Expenses which Agent may incur in connection
with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of,
or, upon an Event of Default, the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the
Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iii) the exercise or
enforcement of any of the rights of Agent hereunder or (iv) the failure by any Grantor to perform
or observe any of the provisions hereof.
20. Merger, Amendments; Etc. THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY
EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO
UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no
consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and signed by Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in
the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment of any provision
of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent and
each Grantor to which such amendment applies.
19
21. Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications provided
for hereunder shall be given in the form and manner and delivered to Agent at its address specified
in the Credit Agreement, and to any of the Grantors at their respective addresses specified in the
Credit Agreement or Guaranty, as applicable, or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be
designated by such party in a written notice to the other party.
22. Continuing Security Interest: Assignments under Credit Agreement.
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain
in full force and effect until the Obligations have been paid in full in accordance with the
provisions of the Credit Agreement and the Commitments have expired or have been terminated, (b) be
binding upon each Grantor, and their respective successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the
benefit of, and be enforceable by, Agent, and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender may, in accordance with the
provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights
and obligations under the Credit Agreement to any other Person, and such other Person shall
thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or
otherwise. Upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions of
the Credit Agreement and the expiration or termination of the Commitments, the Security Interest
granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors or any
other Person entitled thereto. At such time, Agent will authorize the filing of appropriate
termination statements to terminate such Security Interests. No transfer or renewal, extension,
assignment, or termination of this Agreement or of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document,
or any other instrument or document executed and delivered by any Grantor to Agent nor any
additional Advances or other loans made by any Lender to Borrowers, nor the taking of further
security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to Grantors, or any of them, by Agent,
nor any other act of the Lender Group or the Bank Product Providers, or any of them, shall release
any Grantor from any obligation, except a release or discharge executed in writing by Agent in
accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Agent shall not by any act, delay,
omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless
such waiver is in writing and signed by Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth. A
waiver by Agent of any right or remedy on any occasion shall not be construed as a bar to the
exercise of any such right or remedy which Agent would otherwise have had on any other occasion.
23. Governing Law.
(a) THE VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION, AND
ENFORCEMENT HEREOF, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS ARISING

CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED
AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
(d) IF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS FILED IN A COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA BY
OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO AND EACH PARTY HERETO OR THERETO (OTHER THAN A MEMBER OF

Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective
as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an
executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission
also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an
original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of
this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.
