(“Panther Sub”; Holdings, Borrower and Panther Sub are each referred to herein individually as an “Obligor” and together as the “Obligors”) and ANTARES CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as agent (“Agent”) for the Lenders party to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement described below. All capitalized terms used but not elsewhere defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

W I T N E S S E T H:

A. Borrower, Agent and the Lenders have entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as June 10, 2005 (as heretofore amended, modified and supplemented, including, without limitation, pursuant to that certain First Amendment to Loan Documents dated as of September 21, 2005, and as the same may hereafter be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, collectively, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders made loans and other financial accommodations to the Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.

B. The Obligors previously have reviewed, consented to and executed various agreements, documents and instruments in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, those agreements, documents and instruments described on Exhibit A hereto (collectively, the “Existing Collateral Documents”).

C. The Borrower, Agent and the Lenders have agreed to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety, without constituting a novation, pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement of even date herewith (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) by and among the Borrower, Agent and the Lenders.

D. Each Obligor shall derive both direct and indirect benefits from the loans and other financial accommodations (collectively, the “Loans”) made pursuant to the provisions of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

E. One of the conditions precedent to Agent and the Lenders entering into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is that each Obligor execute and deliver this Agreement to acknowledge and agree that the Existing Collateral Documents, and the liens, security interests and guarantees granted and issued thereunder, secure and guaranty the Obligations and all other obligations, liabilities and indebtedness (collectively, the “Liabilities”) of the Obligors under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, each of the undersigned hereby agrees as follows:

1. References Contained in the Existing Collateral Documents. All references in the Existing Collateral Documents to the “Obligations” or any other obligations, liabilities or indebtedness of the Borrower owing from time to time and at any time to Agent and the Lenders shall be deemed to refer to, without limitation, the “Obligations” of the Borrower under, pursuant to and as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. All references in the Existing Collateral Documents to the “Credit Agreement” shall be deemed to refer to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. All references in the Existing Collateral Documents to the “Loan Documents” shall be deemed to refer to and include, without limitation, the Existing Collateral Documents.

2. Reaffirmation. In connection with the execution and delivery of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, each Obligor, as borrower, debtor, grantor, mortgagor, pledgor, guarantor or assignor, or in any other similar capacities in which such Person grants Liens or security interests in its Property or otherwise acts as an accommodation party or guarantor, as the case may be, in any case under the Existing Collateral Documents, hereby (i) ratifies and reaffirms all of its payment, performance and observance obligations and liabilities, whether contingent or otherwise, under each of such Existing Collateral Documents, as amended hereby, to which it is a party, and (ii) to the extent such Person granted Liens on or security interests in any of its Property pursuant to any such Existing Collateral Documents as security for the Liabilities of such Person under or with respect to the Existing Collateral Documents or any of the other Loan Documents, ratifies and reaffirms such grant of security and confirms and agrees that such Liens and security interests hereafter secure all of the Liabilities of such Person and the other Obligors, as applicable, under the Existing Collateral Documents, as amended hereby, in each case including, without limitation, all additional obligations, indebtedness and liabilities resulting from the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and as if each reference in such Existing Collateral Documents, as amended hereby, to the obligations, indebtedness and liabilities secured thereby are construed hereafter to mean and refer to such obligations, indebtedness and liabilities under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Existing Collateral Documents, as amended hereby.

Each Obligor acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents executed and delivered in connection therewith and acknowledges that each of the Existing Collateral Documents, as amended hereby, remains in full force and effect and hereby is ratified and confirmed. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the performance of the Obligors’ obligations hereunder, shall not (i) operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Agent or the Lenders, (ii) constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Existing Collateral Documents, or (iii) constitute a novation of any of the Liabilities or other obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Existing Collateral Documents). Each Obligor agrees that this Agreement constitutes a “Loan Document” under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Each Obligor hereby represents and warrants to Agent that such schedules attached hereto as Exhibit B are true, correct and complete in all respects as of the date hereof. Delivery of such disclosures shall not relieve or otherwise constitute a waiver by the Agent or any Lender or a cure of any Default or Event of Default under the Existing Credit Agreement resulting in connection with the matters disclosed or a breach of the underlying covenant, representation or warranty (regardless of such disclosure).

4. No Further Amendments; Ratification of Liability; Effect. Except as amended hereby, each of the Existing Collateral Documents shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms. Each Obligor hereby ratifies and confirms its liabilities, obligations and agreements under the Existing Collateral Documents, all as amended by this Agreement, and acknowledges that (i) it has no defenses, claims or set-offs to the enforcement by the Agent of such liabilities, obligations and agreements, (ii) Agent and the Lenders have fully performed all obligations to such Persons which Agent and the Lenders may have had or have on and as of the date hereof and (iii) the Agent does not waive, diminish or limit any term, condition or covenant contained in the Existing Collateral Documents.

8. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES.

9. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

10. Merger. This Agreement represents the final agreement of each Obligor with respect to the matters contained herein and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior or contemporaneous agreements, or prior or subsequent oral agreements, between any of the Obligors and the Agent.

11. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, 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.

EXECUTION VERSION

GUARANTY

THIS GUARANTY (including all exhibits hereto, as the same may be amended, modified and/or restated from time to time, this “Guaranty”) is made as of this 10th day of June, 2005, by PTHR HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), PANTHER II TRANSPORTATION, INC., an Ohio corporation (“Panther”), and PANTHER II, INC., an Ohio corporation f/k/a/ Xxxxxxxxxx, Inc. (“Panther Sub”; Holdings, Panther and Panther Sub, together with each other Person who becomes a party to this Agreement by execution of a joinder in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, is referred to herein each individually as a “Guarantor” and collectively as the “Guarantors”) in favor of ANTARES CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as agent (“Agent”) on behalf of itself and certain financial institutions (the “Lenders”) from time to time party to the Credit Agreement described below.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Agent and Lenders have entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as of even date herewith (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) with Panther Acquisition, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Initial Borrower”; Initial Borrower, together with its permitted successors and assigns, including Panther from and after the consummation of the Panther Acquisition, is referred to herein as the “Borrower”);

WHEREAS, the Borrower will become liable for the “Obligations” (as that term is defined in the Credit Agreement) including, without limitation, loans and other financial accommodations from the Lenders (including Agent in its individual capacity) under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents referred to therein; and

WHEREAS, (i) Holdings directly or indirectly owns one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Borrower and (ii) Panther Sub is a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Borrower and therefor, each such Guarantor will derive substantial benefit and advantage from the loans and other financial accommodations available to the Borrower set forth in the Credit Agreement, and it will be to the interest and economic benefit of each Guarantor to assist the Borrower in procuring said loans and other financial accommodations from the Lenders and the Agent.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to make loans and financial accommodations to the Borrower thereunder, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

1. Definitions: Capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined herein are used with the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

2. Guaranty of Payment.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guaranties the full and prompt payment to the Agent and the Lenders, when due, whether upon demand, at maturity or by reason of acceleration or otherwise and at all times thereafter, of any and all of the Obligations.

(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges that valuable consideration supports this Guaranty, including, without limitation, the consideration set forth in the recitals above as well as any commitment to lend, extension of credit or other financial accommodation, whether heretofore or hereafter made by the Lenders or the Agent to the Borrower; any extension, renewal or replacement of any of the Obligations; any forbearance with respect to any of the Obligations or otherwise; any cancellation of an existing guaranty; any purchase of any of the Borrower’s assets by the Lenders or the Agent; or any other valuable consideration.

(c) Each Guarantor agrees that all payments under this Guaranty shall be made in United States currency and in the same manner as provided for the Obligations.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, it is intended that this Guaranty, and any interests, liens and security interests granted by Guarantors as security for this Guaranty, not constitute a “Fraudulent Conveyance” (as defined below) in the event that this Guaranty or such interest is subject to the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or similar law of any state. Consequently, Guarantors and Agent agree that if this Guaranty, or any such interests, liens or security interests securing this Guaranty, would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, this Guaranty and each such lien and security interest shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would not cause this Guaranty or such interest, lien or security interest to constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and this Guaranty shall automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly at all relevant times. For purposes hereof, “Fraudulent Conveyance” means a fraudulent conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the provisions of any applicable fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or similar law of any state, as in effect from time to time.

3. Costs and Expenses.

Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agrees to pay on demand, if not paid by the Borrower, all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred by the Agent or the Lenders: (a) in enforcing this Guaranty, (b) in collecting any of the Obligations from the Borrower or any Guarantor, (c) in realizing upon or protecting any collateral for this Guaranty or for payment of any of the Obligations, and (d) for any other purpose related to the Obligations or this Guaranty. “Costs and expenses” as used in the preceding sentence shall include, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the Agent or any Lender in retaining counsel for advice, suit, appeal, any insolvency or other proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, or for any purpose specified in the preceding sentence.

4. Nature of Guaranty: Continuing. Absolute and Unconditional.

(a) This Guaranty is and is intended to be a continuing guaranty of payment of the Obligations, and not of collectibility, and is and is intended to be independent of and in

addition to any other guaranty, indorsement, collateral or other agreement held by the Agent or the Lenders therefor or with respect thereto, whether or not furnished by any Guarantor. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be required to prosecute collection, enforcement or other remedies against Borrower, any other Guarantor, or any other guarantor of the Obligations or any other Person, or to enforce or resort to any of the Collateral or other rights or remedies pertaining thereto, before calling on a Guarantor for payment. The obligations of each Guarantor to repay the Obligations hereunder shall be unconditional. No Guarantor shall have any right of subrogation with respect to any payments made by any Guarantor hereunder, and each Guarantor hereby waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Agent or any Lender to secure payment of the Obligations and agrees that it will not take any action to enforce any obligations of the Borrower to any Guarantor, in each of the foregoing cases prior to the Obligations being finally and irrevocably paid in full and the termination of the Commitments under the Credit Agreement, provided that, in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Borrower, the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall be entitled notwithstanding the foregoing, to file in the name of any Guarantor or in its own name a claim for any and all indebtedness owing to a Guarantor by the Borrower (exclusive of this Guaranty) and to apply the proceeds of any such claim to the Obligations.

(b) For the further security of the Agent and the Lenders and without in any way diminishing the liability of the Guarantors, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all debts and liabilities, present or future of the Borrower to the Guarantors and all monies received from the Borrower or for its account by the Guarantors in respect thereof shall be received in trust for the Agent and the Lenders and forthwith upon receipt shall be paid over to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, until all of the Obligations have been paid in full. This assignment and postponement is independent of and severable from this Guaranty and shall remain in full effect whether or not any Guarantor is liable for any amount under this Guaranty.

(c) This Guaranty is absolute and unconditional and shall not be changed or affected by any representation, oral agreement, act or thing whatsoever, except as herein provided. This Guaranty is intended by the Guarantors to be the final, complete and exclusive expression of the guaranty agreement among the Guarantors and the Agent, for its own benefit and on behalf of the Lenders. No modification or amendment of any provision of this Guaranty shall be effective against Agent or a Guarantor unless in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of the Agent, individually and on behalf of the Lenders, and by such Guarantor.

(d) Each Guarantor hereby releases the Borrower from all, and agrees not to assert or enforce (whether by or in a legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise) any “claims” (as defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code), whether arising under any law, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, policy or other requirement of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof, having jurisdiction over the conduct of its business or assets or otherwise, to which the Guarantors are or would at any time be entitled by virtue of its obligations hereunder, any payment made pursuant hereto or the exercise by Lender of its rights with respect to the Collateral, including any such claims to which such Guarantors may be entitled as a result of any right of subrogation, exoneration or reimbursement.

5. Certain Rights and Obligations.

(a) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the Agent and the Lenders may, and, authorizes the Agent and the Lenders to, without notice, demand or any reservation of rights against such Guarantor and without affecting such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, from time to time:

The Agent or such Lender agrees to notify such Guarantor in a reasonably practicable time of any such set-off; however, failure to so notify such Guarantor shall not affect the validity of any set-off.

(c) Each Guarantor’s obligation hereunder is to pay the Obligations in full in cash when due according to the Credit Agreement to the extent provided herein, and shall not be affected by any stay or extension of time for payment by the Borrower or any other Guarantor resulting from any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar law.

(d) No course of dealing between the Borrower or any Guarantor and the Agent or the Lenders and no act, delay or omission by the Agent or Lenders in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or with respect to any of the Obligations shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right or remedy, and no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

(d) the Secured Party or its Representative in their discretion may, in the name of the Secured Party or in the name of a Debtor or otherwise, demand, xxx for, collect or receive any money or Property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so;

The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section 4.6 shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.9 hereof.

4.7 Deficiency. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Liabilities, the Debtors shall remain liable for any deficiency.

4.8 Private Sale. Each Debtor recognizes that the Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral consisting of securities by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and applicable state securities laws, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who shall be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller 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 Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral to permit Debtor to register such Collateral for public sale under the Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Debtor would agree to do so. The Secured Party shall not incur any liability as a result of the sale of any such Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale provided for in this Agreement conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, and each Debtor hereby waives any claims against the Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Liabilities, even if the Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.

Panther Security Agreement

Each Debtor further agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of any portion or all of any such Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at such Debtor’s expense, provided that the Debtors shall be under no obligation to take any action to enable any or all of such Collateral to be registered under the provisions of the Act. Each Debtor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 4.8 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Party, that the Secured Party has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained in this Section 4.8 shall be specifically enforceable against the Debtors, and each Debtor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

4.9 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral, and any other cash at the time held by the Secured Party under this Agreement, shall be applied to the Liabilities in the manner set forth in Section 1.10 of the Credit Agreement.

(i) 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 Secured Party were the absolute owners thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Secured Party’s option and at such Debtor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Secured Party reasonably deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Party’s Lien therein, in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Debtor might do.

Each Debtor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that such attorneys lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Pledgee

and the Lenders enter into the Credit Agreement and make the loans and other financial accommodations to Borrower under the Credit Agreement, Pledgor hereby agrees with Pledgee, for benefit of Pledgee and the Lenders, as follows:

Section 2. Pledge. Pledgor hereby pledges, assigns, hypothecates, transfers, delivers and grants to Pledgee, for the benefit of the Pledgee and the Lenders, a first lien on and first security interest in (i) all of the capital stock of Acquisition Co. now owned or hereafter acquired by Pledgor (collectively, the “Acquisition Pledged Shares”), (ii) upon the consummation of the Closing Date Merger, all of the capital stock of Panther then owned or thereafter acquired by Pledgor (collectively, the “Panther Pledged Shares”; the Acquisition Pledged Shares and the Panther Pledged Shares are referred to herein collectively as the “Pledged Shares”), (iii) all other property hereafter delivered to, or in the possession or in the custody of, Pledgee in substitution for or in addition to the Pledged Shares, (iv) any other property of Pledgor, as described in Section 4 below or otherwise, now or hereafter delivered to, or in the possession or custody of Pledgor, and (v) all proceeds of the collateral described in the preceding clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) (the collateral described in clauses (i) through (v) of this Section 2 being collectively referred to as the “Pledged Collateral”), as collateral security for:

(a) the prompt and complete payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all the Obligations; and

(b) the due and punctual payment and performance by Pledgor of its obligations, liabilities and Indebtedness under, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Guaranty and any other Loan Documents to which Pledgor is a party;

(all of the foregoing being referred to hereinafter collectively as the “Liabilities”). All of the Pledged Shares now owned by Pledgor which are presently represented by stock certificates are listed on Exhibit A hereto, which stock certificates, with undated stock powers duly executed in blank by Pledgor and irrevocable proxies, are being delivered to Pledgee, for the benefit of Pledgee and the Lenders, simultaneously herewith. Pledgee, on behalf of the Lenders, shall maintain possession and custody of the certificates representing the Pledged Shares and any additional Pledged Collateral.

Section 3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Pledgor. Pledgor represents and warrants to Pledgee, and covenants with Pledgee, that:

(a) Pledgor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has legal title to, the Pledged Shares listed on Exhibit A, and such shares are and will remain and all other shares of stock constituting Pledged Collateral will be, free and clear of all pledges, liens, security interests and other encumbrances and restrictions whatsoever, except the liens and security interests created by this Agreement;

(b) Pledgor has full power, authority and legal right to execute the pledge provided for herein and to pledge the Pledged Shares and any additional Pledged Collateral to Pledgee, for the benefit of the Pledgee and the Lenders;

(c) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Pledgor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Pledgor enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, moratorium, reorganization and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally;

(d) there are no outstanding options, warrants or other agreements with respect to the Pledged Shares other than as set forth in that certain Stockholders Agreement of the Pledgor dated as of the date hereof;

(e) the Pledged Shares have been, and all additional Pledged Collateral constituting capital stock will be, duly and validly authorized and issued, and are or will be fully paid and non-assessable. The Pledged Shares listed on Exhibit A constitute all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Borrower;

(f) no consent, approval or authorization of or designation or filing with any governmental authority on the part of Pledgor is required in connection with the pledge and security interest granted under this Agreement, or the exercise by Pledgee of the voting and other rights provided for in this Agreement;

(g) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Pledgor will not violate any provision of any applicable law or regulation or of any order, judgment, writ, award or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority, domestic or foreign, or of the charter or by-laws of Pledgor or Borrower or of any securities issued by Borrower or of any mortgage, indenture, lease, contract, or other agreement, instrument or undertaking to which Pledgor or Borrower is a party or which purports to be binding upon Pledgor or Borrower or upon any of their respective assets, and will not result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance on or security interest in any of the assets of Pledgor or Borrower except as contemplated by this Agreement; and

(h) the pledge, assignment and delivery to Pledgee of the Pledged Shares pursuant to this Agreement creates a valid first lien on and a first perfected security interest in the Pledged Shares and the proceeds thereof in favor of Pledgee, for the benefit of Pledgee and the Lenders, subject to no prior pledge, lien, mortgage, hypothecation, security interest, charge, option or encumbrance or to any agreement purporting to grant to any third party a security interest in the property or assets of Pledgor which would include the Pledged Shares. Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will defend Pledgee’s right, title and security interest in and to the Pledged Shares and the proceeds thereof against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever.

reorganization, merger or consolidation), or any options or rights, whether as an addition to, in substitution for, or in exchange for any of the Pledged Shares, or otherwise, Pledgor agrees to accept the same as Pledgee’s agent and to hold the same in trust for Pledgee, and to deliver the same forthwith to Pledgee in the exact form received, with the endorsement of Pledgor when necessary and/or appropriate undated stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by Pledgee, for the benefit of Pledgee and the Lenders, subject to the terms hereof, as additional Pledged Collateral. In case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of the Pledged Shares or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Pledged Shares pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of the issuer thereof or pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall be delivered to Pledgee to be held by it as additional Pledged Collateral. Except as provided in subsection 5(a)(ii) below, all sums of money and property so paid or distributed in respect of the Pledged Shares which are received by Pledgor shall, until paid or delivered to Pledgee, be held by Pledgor in trust as additional Pledged Collateral.

Section 5. Administration of Security. The following provisions shall govern the administration of the Pledged Shares:

(a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor shall be entitled (subject to the other provisions hereof, including, without limitation, Section 8 below):

(i) to vote or consent with respect to the Pledged Shares in any manner not inconsistent with this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other “Loan Documents” referred to therein; and

(ii) to receive cash dividends or other distributions in the ordinary course made in respect of the Pledged Shares, to the extent permitted to be paid pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

Pledgor hereby grants to Pledgee or its nominee, on behalf of Pledgee and Lenders, an irrevocable proxy to exercise all voting and corporate rights relating to the Pledged Shares in any instance, including, without limitation, to approve any merger involving any Subsidiary as a constituent corporation, which proxy shall only be exercisable immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon the request of Pledgee, Pledgor agrees to deliver to Pledgee, on behalf of Pledgee and Lenders, such further evidence of such irrevocable proxy or such further irrevocable proxies to vote the Pledged Shares as Pledgee may reasonably request.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the event that Pledgor, as record and beneficial owner of the Pledged Shares, shall have received or shall have become entitled to receive, any cash dividends or other distributions in the ordinary course, Pledgor shall deliver to Pledgee, for the benefit of Pledgee and the Lenders, and Pledgee, for its own benefit and the benefit of the Lenders, shall be entitled to receive and retain, all such cash or other distributions as additional Pledged Collateral.

(c) Subject to any sale or other disposition by Pledgee, on behalf of the Pledgee and Lenders, of the Pledged Shares or other property pursuant to this Agreement, the Pledged Shares and any other Pledged Collateral shall be delivered to Pledgor upon full payment in cash, satisfaction and termination of all of the Liabilities and the termination of the lien and security interest hereby granted pursuant to Section 14 hereof.

Section 6. Rights of Pledgee. Neither Pledgee nor any of the Lenders shall be liable for failure to collect or realize upon the Obligations or any collateral security or guaranty therefor, or any part thereof, or for any delay in so doing, nor shall Pledgee or any of the Lenders be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. Any or all of the Pledged Shares held by Pledgee hereunder may, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be registered in the name of Pledgee or its nominee and Pledgee or its nominee may thereafter without notice exercise all voting and corporate rights at any meeting with respect to Borrower and exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any of the Pledged Shares as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, without limitation, the right to vote in favor of, and to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Shares upon, the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment with respect to Borrower or upon the exercise by Pledgor or Pledgee of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any of the Pledged Shares, and in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Shares with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as Pledgee may determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by Pledgee, but Pledgee shall have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

Section 7. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Pledgee, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon Pledgor or any other person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby expressly waived), may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign, give an option or options to purchase, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of (including the disposition by merger) and deliver said Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more portions at public or private sale or sales or transactions, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of Pledgee’s offices or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as Pledgee may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for any combination of cash and/or securities or other property or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, with the right to Pledgee upon any such sale or sales, public or private, to purchase the whole or any part of said Pledged Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby expressly waived or released. Pledgee, for its own benefit and the benefit of the Lenders, shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization, sale or disposition, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the safekeeping of any and all of the Pledged Collateral or in any way relating to the rights of Pledgee or any of the Lenders hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, to the payment, in whole or in part, of the Liabilities in accordance with the Credit Agreement. Only after so paying over such net proceeds and after the payment by Pledgee of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615 of the UCC, need Pledgee, on behalf of the Lenders, account for the surplus, if

any, to Pledgor. Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency remaining unpaid after such application. Pledgor agrees that Pledgee need not give more than ten (10) days’ notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale or other intended disposition is to take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of such matters. No notification need be given to Pledgor if Pledgor has signed after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default a statement renouncing or modifying any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition. In addition to the rights and remedies granted to Pledgee for the benefit of the Lenders in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Liabilities, Pledgee and the Lenders shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and under any other applicable law.

Section 8. No Disposition, etc. Without the prior written consent of Pledgee, Pledgor agrees that Pledgor will not sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Pledged Shares or any other Pledged Collateral, nor will Pledgor create, incur or permit to exist any pledge, lien, mortgage, hypothecation, security interest, charge, option or any other encumbrance with respect to any of the Pledged Shares, any other Pledged Collateral or any interest therein, or any proceeds thereof, except for the lien and security interest provided for by this Agreement. Without the prior written consent of Pledgee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom), Pledgor agrees that it will not vote to enable, and will not otherwise permit, Borrower to (a) issue any stock or other securities of any nature in addition to or in exchange or substitution for the Pledged Shares or (b) dissolve, liquidate, retire any of its capital stock, reduce its capital or merge or consolidate with any other Person.

Section 9. Sale of Pledged Shares.

(a) Pledgor recognizes that Pledgee, for its own benefit and on behalf of Lenders, may be unable to effect a public sale or disposition (including, without limitation, any disposition in connection with a merger of Borrower) of any or all the Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and applicable state securities laws, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales or dispositions thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will 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. Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale or disposition may result in prices and other terms (including the terms of any securities or other property received in connection therewith) less favorable to the seller than if such sale or disposition were a public sale or disposition and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale or disposition shall be deemed to be reasonable and affected in a commercially reasonable manner. Pledgee shall be under no obligation to delay a sale or disposition of any of the Pledged Collateral in order to permit Pledgor or Borrower to register such securities for public sale Under the Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Pledgor or Borrower would agree to do so.

dispositions, all at Pledgor’s expense. Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 2, 4, 5(b), 8, 9 or 10 hereof will cause irreparable injury to Pledgee and the Lenders, that Pledgee and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees, without limiting the right of Pledgee to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of Pledgor contained in this Agreement, that each and every covenant referenced above shall be specifically enforceable against Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(c) Pledgor further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Pledgee and the Lenders, each of their respective successors and assigns, officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys, and any Person in control of any thereof, from and against any loss, liability, claim, damage and expense, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees (collectively called the “Indemnified Liabilities”), under federal and state securities laws or otherwise insofar as such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense:

(i) arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or offering memorandum or in any preliminary prospectus or preliminary offering memorandum or in any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing or in any other writing prepared in connection with the offer, sale or resale of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral unless such untrue statement of material fact was provided by Pledgee specifically for inclusion therein; or

(ii) arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

such indemnification to remain operative regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Pledgee or any successor thereof, or any Person in control of any thereof. In connection with a public sale or other distribution, Pledgor will provide customary indemnification to any underwriters, their respective successors and assigns, their respective officers and directors and each Person who controls any such underwriter (within the meaning of the Act). If and to the extent that the foregoing undertakings in this Section 9(c) may be unenforceable for any reason, Pledgor agrees to make maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. The obligations of Pledgor under this Section 9(c) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(d) Pledgor further agrees to waive any and all rights of subrogation it may have against Borrower upon the sale or sales or dispositions of any portion or all of the Pledged Collateral by Pledgee.

Section 10. Further Assurances. Pledgor agrees that at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of Pledgee, Pledgor will execute and deliver all stock powers, financing statements and such further documents and do such further acts and things as Pledgee may reasonably request consistent with the provisions hereof in order to effect the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 11. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 12. No Waiver: Cumulative Remedies. Neither Pledgee nor any of the Lenders shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its remedies hereunder, and no waiver by Pledgee or any Lender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Pledgee or such Lender and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Pledgee, or any Lender, of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Pledgee, or such Lender, would otherwise have on any further occasion. No course of dealing between Pledgor and Pledgee or any Lender and no failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising on the part of Pledgee or any Lender of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or remedy or operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 13. Successors. This Agreement and all obligations of Pledgor hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Pledgor, and shall, together with the rights and remedies of Pledgee and the Lenders hereunder, inure to the benefit of Pledgee and the Lenders and their successors and assigns, except that Pledgor shall not have any right to assign its obligations under this Agreement or any interest herein without the prior written consent of Pledgee.

Section 14. Termination. This Agreement and the liens and security interests granted hereunder shall terminate upon indefeasible full and complete performance and satisfaction of the Liabilities (other than contingent indemnification obligations), and promptly upon such full and complete performance and satisfaction, Pledgee shall surrender the certificates evidencing the Pledged Shares to Pledgor.

Section 15. Possession of Pledged Collateral. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Pledged Collateral in the physical possession of Pledgee pursuant hereto, neither Pledgee nor any nominee of Pledgee shall have any duty or liability to collect any sums due in respect thereof or to protect, preserve or exercise any rights pertaining thereto, and shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Pledged Collateral upon surrendering them to Pledgor.

Section 16. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of Pledgor contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

Section 17. Taxes and Expenses. To the extent not paid by Borrower, Pledgor will upon demand pay to Pledgee all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for Pledgee and of any experts and agents that Pledgee may incur in connection with:

(a) the administration of this Agreement;

(b) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Pledged Collateral;

(d) the failure of Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

Section 18. Pledgee Appointed Attorney-In-Fact. Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Pledgee as Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with full authority in the place and stead of Pledgor and in the name of Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time in Pledgee’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument that Pledgee deems reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made payable to Pledgor representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same, when and to the extent permitted by this Agreement.

Section 19. Notices. All notices, approvals, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and delivered by hand or by nationally recognized overnight courier, or sent by first class mail or sent by telecopy (with such telecopy to be confirmed promptly in writing sent by first class mail), sent:

Section 20. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF PROCESS.

(a) PLEDGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR ILLINOIS STATE COURT SITTING IN CHICAGO IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND PLEDGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

(b) PLEDGOR HEREBY AGREES THAT SERVICE UPON IT BY MAIL SHALL CONSTITUTE SUFFICIENT NOTICE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF PLEDGEE TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST PLEDGOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION FOR THE PURPOSES OF ENFORCING ITS LIENS AND SECURITY INTERESTS.

Section 21. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

PLEDGOR AND PLEDGEE EACH AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISIONS HEREOF.

Section 3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Pledgor. Pledgor represents and warrants to Pledgee, and covenants with Pledgee, that:

(c) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Pledgor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Pledgor enforceable in accordance

with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, moratorium, reorganization and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally;

(g) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Pledgor will not violate any provision of any applicable law or regulation or of any order, judgment, writ, award or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority, domestic or foreign, or of the charter or by-laws of Pledgor or Panther Sub or of any securities issued by Borrower or of any mortgage, indenture, lease, contract, or other agreement, instrument or undertaking to which Pledgor or Panther Sub is a party or which purports to be binding upon Pledgor or Panther Sub or upon any of their respective assets, and will not result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance on or security interest in any of the assets of Pledgor or Panther Sub except as contemplated by this Agreement; and

Section 4. Stock Dividends, Distributions, etc. If, while this Agreement is in effect, Pledgor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any stock certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a stock dividend or a stock distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital, or issued in connection with any reorganization, merger or consolidation), or any options or rights, whether as an addition to, in substitution for, or in exchange for any of the Pledged Shares, or otherwise, Pledgor agrees to accept the same as Pledgee’s agent and to hold the same in trust for Pledgee, and to deliver the same forthwith to Pledgee in the exact form received, with the endorsement of Pledgor when necessary and/or appropriate undated stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by

In case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of the Pledged Shares or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Pledged Shares pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of the issuer thereof or pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall be delivered to Pledgee to be held by it as additional Pledged Collateral. Except as provided in subsection 5(a)(ii) below, all sums of money and property so paid or distributed in respect of the Pledged Shares which are received by Pledgor shall, until paid or delivered to Pledgee, be held by Pledgor in trust as additional Pledged Collateral.

Section 5. Administration of Security. The following provisions shall govern the administration of the Pledged Shares:

(a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor shall be entitled (subject to the other provisions hereof, including, without limitation, Section 8 below):

(i) to vote or consent with respect to the Pledged Shares in any manner not inconsistent with this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other “Loan Documents” referred to therein; and

(ii) to receive cash dividends or other distributions in the ordinary course made in respect of the Pledged Shares, to the extent permitted to be paid pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

Section 6. Rights of Pledgee. Neither Pledgee nor any of the Lenders shall be liable for failure to collect or realize upon the Obligations or any collateral security or guaranty therefor, or any part thereof, or for any delay in so doing, nor shall Pledgee or any of the Lenders be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. Any or all of the Pledged Shares held by Pledgee hereunder may, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be registered in the name of Pledgee or its nominee and Pledgee or its nominee may thereafter without notice exercise all voting and corporate rights at any meeting with respect to Panther Sub and exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any of the Pledged. Shares as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, without limitation, the right to vote in favor of, and to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Shares upon, the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment with respect to Panther Sub or upon the exercise by Pledgor or Pledgee of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any of the Pledged Shares and in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Shares with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as Pledgee may determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by Pledgee, but Pledgee shall have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

continuance of an Event of Default a statement renouncing or modifying any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition. In addition to the rights and remedies granted to Pledgee for the benefit of the Lenders in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Liabilities, Pledgee and the Lenders shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and under any other applicable law.

Section 8. No Disposition, etc. Without the prior written consent of Pledgee, Pledgor agrees that Pledgor will not sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Pledged Shares or any other Pledged Collateral, nor will Pledgor create, incur or permit to exist any pledge, lien, mortgage, hypothecation, security interest, charge, option or any other encumbrance with respect to any of the Pledged Shares, any other Pledged Collateral or any interest therein, or any proceeds thereof, except for the lien and security interest provided for by this Agreement. Without the prior written consent of Pledgee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom), Pledgor agrees that it will not vote to enable, and will not otherwise permit, Panther Sub to (a) issue any stock or other securities of any nature in addition to or in exchange or substitution for the Pledged Shares or (b) dissolve, liquidate, retire any of its capital stock, reduce its capital or merge or consolidate with any other Person.

Section 9. Sale of Pledged Shares.

(a) Pledgor recognizes that Pledgee, for its own benefit and on behalf of Lenders, may be unable to effect a public sale or disposition (including, without limitation, any disposition in connection with a merger of Panther Sub) of any or all the Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and applicable state securities laws, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales or dispositions thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will 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. Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale or disposition may result in prices and other terms (including the terms of any securities or other property received in connection therewith) less favorable to the seller than if such sale or disposition were a public sale or disposition and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale or disposition shall be deemed to be reasonable and affected in a commercially reasonable manner. Pledgee shall be under no obligation to delay a sale or disposition of any of the Pledged Collateral in order to permit Pledgor or Panther Sub to register such securities for public sale under the Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Pledgor or Panther Sub would agree to do so.

(b) Pledgor further agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale or sales or dispositions of any portion or all of the Pledged Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales or dispositions, all at Pledgor’s expense. Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 2, 4, 5(b), 8, 9 or 10 hereof will cause irreparable injury to Pledgee and the Lenders, that Pledgee and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees, without limiting the right of Pledgee to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of Pledgor contained in this

Agreement, that each and every covenant referenced above shall be specifically enforceable against Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(ii) arises out of or is based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;

(d) Pledgor further agrees to waive any and all rights of subrogation it may have against Panther Sub upon the sale or sales or dispositions of any portion or all of the Pledged Collateral by Pledgee.

Section 12. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. Neither Pledgee nor any of the Lenders shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its remedies hereunder, and no waiver by Pledgee or any Lender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Pledgee or such Lender and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Pledgee, or any Lender, of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Pledgee, or such Lender, would otherwise have on any further occasion. No course of dealing between Pledgor and Pledgee or any Lender and no failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising on the part of Pledgee or any Lender of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or remedy or operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 16. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of Pledgor contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

(a) the administration of this Agreement;

(b) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Pledged Collateral;

(d) the failure of Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

STATE COURT SITTING IN CHICAGO IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND PLEDGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF PLEDGEE TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST PLEDGOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY PLEDGOR AGAINST PLEDGEE OR ANY LENDER OR ANY AFFILIATE THEREOF INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

Section 21. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. PLEDGOR AND PLEDGEE HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE. PLEDGOR AND PLEDGEE EACH AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISIONS HEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 22. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND BE CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS.

6. Account Information. The Bank shall provide the Agent, at the address indicated in Section 11 below, with such information with respect to the Accounts and Account Collateral as the Agent may from time to time reasonably request, including, without limitation, and if requested by Agent, duplicate copies of all bank statements which are sent to Borrower. The Borrower hereby consents to such information being provided to the Agent.

7. Exculpation. The Bank undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein.

9. No Other Assignments. Bank represents and warrants to Agent that no other notices of assignment of, lien upon or security interest in the Accounts or the Account Collateral are reflected in Bank’s records concerning the Accounts and Bank has no knowledge of any such assignment or lien. Borrower hereby instructs Bank and Bank hereby agrees to record in Bank’s records concerning the Accounts any such notice of assignment of the Accounts that it receives, including the notice conferred by this Agreement. Bank agrees with and covenants to Agent that it shall not enter into any other agreement with any Person which would obligate Bank to follow such Person’s instructions with respect to the Account or the Account Collateral, or which would otherwise confer control of the Accounts or the Account Collateral upon such Person.

BLOCKED ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT

(“Shifting Control”)

AGREEMENT dated as of June 10, 2005, by and among PTHR Holdings, Inc. (“Company”), Antares Capital Corporation (“Lender”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Depositary”).

The parties hereto refer to Account No. 739306952 in the name of Company maintained at Depositary (the “Account”) and hereby agree as follows:

1. Company and Lender notify Depositary that by separate agreement Company has granted Lender a security interest in the Account and all funds on deposit from time to time therein. Depositary acknowledges being so notified.

2. Prior to the Effective Time (as defined below) Depositary shall honor all withdrawal, payment, transfer or other fund disposition or other instructions (collectively, “instructions”) received from the Company (but not those from Lender) concerning the Account. On and after the Effective Time (and without Company’s consent), Depositary shall honor all instructions received from Lender (but not those from Company) concerning the Account and Company shall have no right or ability to access or withdraw or transfer funds from the Account.

For the purposes hereof, the “Effective Time” shall be the opening of business on the second business day next succeeding the business day on which a notice purporting to be signed by Lender in substantially the same form as Exhibit A, attached hereto, with a copy of this Agreement attached thereto (a “Shifting Control Notice”), is actually received by the individual employee of Depositary to whom the notice is required hereunder to be addressed; provided, however, that if any such notice is so received after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any business day, the “Effective Time” shall be the opening of business on the third business day next succeeding the business day on which such receipt occurs; and, provided further, that a “business day” is any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which Depositary is or is authorized or required by law to be closed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) all transactions involving or resulting in a transaction involving the Account duly commenced by Depositary or any affiliate prior to the Effective Time and so consummated or processed thereafter shall be deemed not to constitute a violation of this Agreement; and (ii) Depositary and/or any affiliate may (at its discretion and without any obligation to do so) commence honoring solely Lender’s instructions concerning the Account at any time or from time to time after it becomes aware that Lender has sent to it a Shifting Control Notice but prior to the Effective Time therefor (including without limitation halting, reversing or redirecting any transaction referred to in clause (i) above) with no liability whatsoever to Company or any other party for doing so.

3. This Agreement supplements, rather than replaces, Depositary’s deposit account agreement, terms and conditions and other standard documentation in effect from time to time with respect to the Account or services provided in connection with the Account (the “Account Documentation”), which Account Documentation will continue to apply to the Account and such services, and the respective rights, powers, duties, obligations, liabilities and responsibilities of the parties thereto and hereto, to the extent not expressly conflicting with the provisions of this Agreement (however, in the event of any such conflict, the provisions of this Agreement shall control). Prior to issuing any instructions on or after the Effective Time, Lender shall provide Depositary with such Account Documentation as Depositary may reasonably request to establish the identity and authority of the individuals issuing instructions on behalf of Lender.

4. Depositary agrees not to exercise or claim any right of offset, banker’s lien or other like right against the Account for so long as this Agreement is in effect except with respect to (i) returned or charged-back items, (ii) reversals or cancellations of payment orders and other electronic fund transfers, (iii) Depositary’s charges, fees and expenses with respect to the Account or the services provided hereunder or (iv) overdrafts in the Account

5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: (i) Depositary shall have only the duties and responsibilities with respect to the matters set forth herein as is expressly set forth in writing herein and shall not be deemed to be an agent, bailee or fiduciary for any party hereto; (ii) Depositary shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting in good faith without investigation on any notice (including without limitation a Shifting Control Notice), instruction or request purportedly furnished to it by Company or Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in which case the parties hereto agree that Depositary has no duty to make any further inquiry whatsoever; (iii) it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that Depositary has no knowledge of (and is not required to know) the terms and provisions of the separate agreement referred to in paragraph 1 above or any other related documentation or whether any actions by Lender (including without limitation the sending of a Shifting Control Notice), Company or any other person or entity are permitted or a breach thereunder or consistent or inconsistent therewith, (iv) Depositary shall not be liable to any party hereto or any other person for any action or failure to act under or in connection with this Agreement except to the extent such conduct constitutes its own willful misconduct or gross negligence (and to the maximum extent permitted by law, shall under no circumstances be liable for any incidental, indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages); and (v) Depositary shall not be liable for losses or delays caused by force majeure, interruption or malfunction of computer, transmission or communications facilities, labor difficulties, court order or decree, the commencement of bankruptcy or other similar proceedings or other matters beyond Depositary’s reasonable control.

6. Company hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless Depositary against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel who may be an employee of Depositary) (collectively, “Covered Items”) incurred in connection with this Agreement or the Account (except to the extent due to Depositary’s willful misconduct or gross negligence) or any interpleader proceeding relating thereto or incurred at Company’s direction or instruction. Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless Depositary against any Covered Items incurred (i) on or after the Effective Time in connection with this Agreement or the Account (except to the extent due to Depositary’s willful misconduct or gross negligence) or any interpleader proceeding related thereto, (ii) at Lender’s direction or instruction (including without limitation Depositary’s honoring of a Shifting Control Notice) or (iii) due to any claim by Lender of an interest in the Account or the funds on deposit therein.

7. Depositary may terminate this Agreement (a) in its discretion upon the sending of at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to the other parties hereto or (b) because of a material breach by Company or Lender of any of the terms of this Agreement or the Account Documentation, upon the sending of at least five (5) days advance written notice to the other parties hereto. Any other termination or any amendment or waiver of this Agreement shall be effected solely by an instrument in writing executed by all the parties hereto. The provisions of paragraphs 5 and 6 above shall survive any such termination.

8. Company shall compensate Depositary for the opening and administration of the Account and services provided hereunder in accordance with Depositary’s fee schedules from time to time in effect. Payment will be effected by a direct debit to the Account.

9. This Agreement: (i) may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument; (ii) shall become effective when counterparts hereof have been signed and delivered by the parties hereto; and (iii) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. All parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding relating to the Account or this Agreement. All notices under this Agreement shall be in writing and sent (including via facsimile transmission) to the parties hereto at their respective addresses or fax numbers set forth below (or to such other address or fax number as any such party shall designate in writing to the other parties from time to time).

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
