Upon the request of the Collateral Agent upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Grantor shall so notify such Account Debtors, parties to such Contracts, obligors in respect of such Instruments and obligors in respect of such Chattel Paper.

4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each Grantor hereby represents and warrants to the Secured Parties that:

(a) It is a corporation duly existing under the laws of the state in which it is incorporated and qualified and licensed to do business in any state in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be so qualified, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The execution, delivery, and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party are within its powers, have been duly authorized, and are not in conflict with nor constitute a breach of any provision contained in its articles or certificate of incorporation or bylaws, nor will they constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which it is bound.

(c) It is the sole owner of its Intellectual Property, except for licenses granted by it to its customers in the ordinary course of business. To the best of its knowledge, each of its Copyrights, Trademarks and Patents is valid and enforceable, and no part of its Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim has been made to it that any part of its Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) Except for the security interest granted to the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent under this Security Agreement and Permitted Liens, it is the sole legal and equitable owner of each item of Collateral in which it purports to grant a security interest hereunder, free and clear of all Liens.

(e) No effective security agreement, financing statement, equivalent security or lien instrument or continuation statement covering all or any part of the Collateral exists, except such as may have been filed by it in favor of the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Security Agreement and except for Permitted Liens.

(f) This Agreement creates in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral of each Grantor in which it now has rights, securing the payment of the Secured Obligations, to the extent a security interest in the Collateral can be perfected by the filing of a UCC-1 financing statement with the filing office of the Secretary of State of the jurisdiction where each Grantor is located (within the meaning of Section 9-307 of the UCC) or the recordation of an intellectual property security agreement with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. Copyright Office, subject only to Permitted Liens. This Security Agreement will create in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral of each Grantor in which it later acquires rights, when it acquires those rights, securing the payment of the Secured Obligations, to the extent a security interest in the Collateral can be perfected by the filing of a UCC-1 financing statement with the filing office of the Secretary of State of the jurisdiction where each Grantor is located (within the meaning of Section 9-307 of the UCC) or the recordation of an intellectual property security agreement with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. Copyright Office, subject only to Permitted Liens.

(g) Its correct legal name and taxpayer identification number are set forth on the signature page hereof. Its chief executive office, principal place of business, and the place where it maintains its records concerning the Collateral are presently located at the address set forth on the signature page hereof. The tangible personal property Collateral, other than motor vehicles and other mobile goods, is presently located at such address and at such additional addresses set forth on Schedule E attached hereto.

(h) The name and address of each depository institution at which it maintains any Deposit Account and the account number and account name of each such Deposit Account is listed on Schedule F attached hereto. The name and address of each securities intermediary or commodity intermediary at which it maintains any Securities Account or Commodity Account and the account number and account name is listed on Schedule F attached hereto. It agrees to immediately notify the Collateral Agent and amend Schedule F to reflect the opening of any additional Deposit Account, Securities Account or Commodity Account, or closing or changing the account name or number on any existing Deposit Account, Securities Account, or Commodity Account.

(i) All Copyrights, Copyright Licenses, Patents, Patent Licenses, Trademarks and Trademark Licenses now owned or held by it are listed on Schedule G attached hereto.

(j) It is the owner of the percentage of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock or share capital of the issuers (the "Pledged Shares") indicated on Schedule B. The Pledged Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. None of the Pledged Shares have been transferred in violation of the securities registration, securities disclosure or similar laws of any jurisdiction to which such transfer may be subject with respect to which such transfer could with reasonable likelihood result in a Material Adverse Effect. The pledge, grant of a security interest in, and delivery of the Pledged Securities pursuant to this Securities Agreement will create a valid first priority Lien on and in the Pledged Securities pledged by it, and the proceeds thereof, securing the payment of the Secured Obligations assuming (i) continued possession of the Pledged Securities by the Collateral Agent and (ii) that the Collateral Agent has no notice prior to or on the date of delivery of such Pledged Securities of an adverse claim within the meaning of the UCC.

At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, and at the sole expense of Grantors, each Grantor shall promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments and documents and take such further action as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection of the security interest granted hereunder and to obtain the full benefits of this Security Agreement, including, without limitation, (a) executing, delivering and causing to be filed any financing, termination or continuation statements (including "in lieu" continuation statements) under the UCC with respect to the security interests granted hereby, (b) at the Collateral Agent's reasonable request, filing or cooperating with the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent in filing any forms or other documents required to be recorded with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, (c) transferring the Collateral to the Collateral Agent's possession (if a security interest in such Collateral can be perfected only by possession), (d) at the Collateral Agent's reasonable request, placing the interest of the Collateral Agent as lienholder on the certificate of title (or similar evidence of ownership) of any vehicle, watercraft or other Equipment constituting Collateral owned by any Grantor which is covered by a certificate of title (or similar evidence of ownership), (e) executing and delivering and using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable depository institution, securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or issuer or nominated party under a letter of credit to execute and deliver a collateral control agreement with respect to any Deposit Account, Securities Account or Commodity Account or Letter-of-Credit Right in or to which any Grantor now or hereafter has any right or interest in order to perfect the security interest created hereunder in favor of the Collateral Agent (including giving the Collateral Agent "control" over such Collateral within the meaning of the applicable provisions of Article 8 and Article 9 of the UCC, and (f) at the Collateral Agent's reasonable request, using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain acknowledgments from bailees having possession of any Collateral and waivers of liens from landlords and mortgagees of any location where any of the Collateral may from time to time be stored or located. Each Grantor also hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file any such financing, termination or continuation statement (including "in lieu" continuation statements) describing the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor.

6. PLEDGED SECURITIES. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) Each Grantor shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and give consents with respect to the Pledged Shares or any part thereof for all purposes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Securities Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, and no consent shall be given or action taken, which would have the effect of impairing the position or interest of the Collateral Agent in respect of the Pledged Shares (except

as and to the extent expressly permitted by the Notes, this Security Agreement, or another Loan Document).

(b) Each Grantor shall be entitled, from time to time, to collect and receive for the Grantor's own use, and shall not be required to pledge pursuant to Section 2 above, any cash dividends or cash interest or principal payments paid in respect of the Pledged Securities, except such cash dividends or cash interest or principal payments received after and during the continuance of an Event of Default; provided, however, that until actually paid, all rights to any such permitted cash dividends or cash interest or principal payments shall remain subject to the Lien created by this Securities Agreement. All dividends and interest payments (other than such cash dividends and cash interest or principal payments as are permitted to be paid to a Grantor in accordance with this clause (b)) and all rights, property, proceeds and products received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of any of the Pledged Securities of any Grantor whenever paid or made, shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent to hold as Collateral and shall, if recovered by a Grantor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Grantor, and be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent as Collateral.

7. Collateral Agent's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact; Performance by Collateral Agent.

(a) Subject to Section 7(b) below, each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent, and any officer or agent of the Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full, irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, from time to time at the Collateral Agent's discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Security Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor to do the following:

(i) to ask, demand, collect, receive and give acquittances and receipts for any and all monies due or to become due under any Collateral and, in the name of such Grantor, in its own name or otherwise to take possession of, endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other Instruments for the payment of monies due under any Collateral and to file any claim or take or commence any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such monies due under any Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) to pay or discharge any Liens, including, without limitation, any tax lien, levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, to effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Security Agreement and to pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof, which actions shall be for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and not such Grantor;

(iii) to (1) direct any person liable for any payment under or in respect of any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct, (2) receive payment of any and all monies, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time arising out of or in respect of any Collateral, (3) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with Accounts and other Instruments and Documents constituting or relating to the Collateral, (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any part thereof

and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral, (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral, (6) settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action or proceeding described above, and in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate, (7) license, or, to the extent permitted by an applicable License, sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any Copyright, Patent or Trademark throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall in its discretion determine and (8) sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes; and

(iv) to do, at the Collateral Agent's option and such Grantor's expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent's security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Security Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

(b) The Collateral Agent agrees that, except upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, it shall not exercise the power of attorney or any rights granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 7. Each Grantor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. The power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section 7 is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Secured Obligations are completely and indefeasibly paid and performed in full.

8. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default:

(a) The Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Security Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that in any such event the Collateral Agent, 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 such Grantor or any other person, may (i) reclaim, take possession, recover, store, maintain, finish, repair, prepare for sale or lease, shop, advertise for sale or lease and sell or lease (in the manner provided herein) the Collateral, and in connection with the liquidation of the Collateral and collection of the accounts receivable pledged as Collateral, use any Trademark, Copyright, or process used or owned by such Grantor and (ii) forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give an option or options to purchase or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange or broker's board or at the Collateral Agent's offices or elsewhere at such prices as it may deem commercially reasonable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor's premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent (personally or through an agent) is hereby authorized and empowered to transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Securities, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing the Pledged Securities for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting rights with respect thereto, and to collect and receive all cash dividends and other distributions made thereon.

The Collateral Agent is hereby granted a license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8, to use, without charge, each Grantor's labels, Patents, Copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with the Collateral Agent's exercise of its rights under this Section 8, each Grantor's rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the Collateral Agent's benefit. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale as provided in Section 8(f) below, with Grantors remaining liable for any deficiency remaining unpaid after such application. Each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent 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 may take place and that such notice is reasonable notification of such matters.

(b) As to any Collateral constituting certificated securities or uncertificated securities, if, at any time when the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell the whole or any part of such Collateral hereunder, such Collateral or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be effectively registered under Securities Act of 1933, as amended (as so amended the "Act"), the Collateral Agent may, in its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), sell such Collateral or part thereof by private sale in such manner and under such circumstances as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable, but subject to the other requirements of this Section 8(b), and shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in any such event the Collateral Agent may, in its discretion, (i) in accordance with applicable securities laws, proceed to make such private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Collateral or part thereof could be or shall have been filed under the Act; (ii) approach and negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale; and (iii) restrict such sale to a purchaser who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Collateral or part thereof. In addition to a private sale as provided above in this Section 8(b), if any of such Collateral shall not be freely distributable to the public without registration under the Act at the time of any proposed sale hereunder, then the Collateral Agent shall not be required to effect such registration or cause the same to be effected but may, in its discretion (subject only to applicable requirements of law), require that any sale hereunder (including a sale at auction) be conducted subject to such restrictions as the Collateral Agent may, in its discretion, deem necessary or appropriate in order that such sale (notwithstanding any failure so to register) may be effected in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and the Act and all applicable state securities laws.

(c) Grantors also agree to pay all fees, costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with the enforcement of any of its rights and remedies hereunder.

(d) Grantors hereby waive presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.

(e) The Collateral Agent and each Secured Party may set off and apply to the Secured Obligations any and all indebtedness of the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of any Grantor.

(f) The Proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be distributed by the Collateral Agent in the following order of priorities:

FIRST, to the Collateral Agent and any Secured Party in an amount sufficient to pay in full the costs of the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party in connection with such sale, disposition or other realization, including all fees, costs, expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees;

SECOND, to the Secured Parties in amounts proportional to the Pro Rata share of the then unpaid Secured Obligations of each Secured Party; and

FINALLY, upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations, to Grantors or their representatives, in accordance with the UCC or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

9. COLLATERAL AGENT.

9.1 Appointment. The Secured Parties hereby appoint Sandler Capital Management, a New York general partnership, as the "Collateral Agent" for the Secured Parties under this Security Agreement to serve from the date hereof until the termination of this Security Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Security Agreement, the Collateral Agent may be removed or replaced with the written consent of the Majority Lenders.

9.2 Powers and Duties of Collateral Agent, Indemnity by Secured Parties.

(a) Each Secured Party hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take all actions, to make all decisions and to exercise all powers and remedies on its behalf under the provisions of this Security Agreement, including without limitation all such actions, decisions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Collateral Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder by or through agents, designees or employees.

(b) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its partners, directors, members, officers, agents, designees or employees (collectively, "Indemnified Persons") shall be liable or responsible to any Secured Party for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Collateral Agent or any other such Indemnified Persons hereunder or under any related agreement, instrument or document, nor shall any Indemnified Person be liable or responsible to the Secured Parties for (i) the validity, effectiveness, sufficiency, enforceability or enforcement of the Notes, this Security Agreement or any instrument or document delivered hereunder or relating hereto or thereto; (ii) the title of any Grantor to any of the Collateral or the freedom of any of the Collateral from any prior or other liens or security interests; (iii) the determination, verification or enforcement of any Grantor's compliance with any of the terms and conditions of this Security Agreement; (iv) the failure by any Grantor to deliver any instrument, agreement, financing statement or other document required to be delivered pursuant to the terms hereof; or (v) the receipt, disbursement, waiver, extension or other handling of payments or proceeds made or received with respect to the Collateral, the servicing of the Collateral or the enforcement or the collection of any amounts owing with respect to the Collateral.

(c) Each of the Secured Parties agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent, promptly on demand, its Pro Rata share of all fees, taxes and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and enforcement of this Security Agreement, the Notes or any related agreement or document. Each of the Secured Parties hereby agrees to hold the Collateral Agent harmless, and to indemnify the Indemnified Persons from and against any and all loss, damage, taxes, expense or liability which may be incurred by such Indemnified Persons under this Security Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and any related agreement or other instrument or document, as the case may be, unless such liability shall be caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Persons.

9.3 No Reliance. Each Secured Party represents to the Collateral Agent that it has made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and credit worthiness of the Grantors, and made its own decision to enter into this Security Agreement and to extend credit to the Grantors independently based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any of its partners, directors, members, officers, agents, designees or employees. Each Secured Party agrees that the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or credit worthiness of the Grantors.

10. INDEMNITY. Grantors agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and their officers, employees, and agents against (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Security Agreement and (b) all losses or expenses in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by any Secured Party as a result of or in any way arising out of, following or consequential to transactions between or among the Collateral Agent, any Secured Party and Grantors, whether under this Security Agreement or otherwise (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses), except for losses arising from or out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party, as applicable.

11. REINSTATEMENT. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor's property and assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a "voidable preference," "fraudulent conveyance," or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

12. MISCELLANEOUS.

12.1 Waivers; Amendments. Any amendment of the Notes, this Security Agreement, or any other Loan Document shall require the written consent of the Grantors, the Collateral Agent and the Majority Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of each affected Secured Party shall be necessary to do the following:

(a) reduce the percentage of the principal and interest amount of Loans whose holders must consent to constitute Majority Lenders' consent;

(b) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Loan;

(c) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Loan; or

(d) make any Loan payable in money other than that stated in the Notes.

Each Secured Party acknowledges that because the Notes, this Security Agreement, and the other Loan Documents may be amended with the consent of the Majority Lenders, except as set forth above, each Secured Party's rights hereunder may be amended or waived without such Secured Party's consent.

12.2 Termination of this Security Agreement. Subject to Section 11 hereof, this Security Agreement shall terminate upon the payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations. Upon any such termination, the Collateral Agent will, at the Grantors' expense, execute and deliver to the Grantors such documents as the Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

12.3 Successor and Assigns. This Security Agreement and all obligations of Grantors hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Grantors, and shall, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, any future holder of any of the Secured Obligations and their respective successors and assigns. No sales of participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner affect the lien granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder.

12.4 Governing Law. In all respects, including all matters of construction, validity and performance, this Security Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and performed in such state, without regard to the principles thereof regarding conflict of laws, except to the extent that the UCC provides for the application of the law of a different jurisdiction.

12.5 New Subsidiaries. Until the Secured Obligations have been performed and paid in full, each Grantor will cause each Subsidiary of such Grantor that is not a controlled foreign corporation (as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or any successor statute thereto) and the regulations thereunder) (a "New Subsidiary") formed or acquired after the date of this Security Agreement to enter into this Security Agreement by executing and delivering in favor of Collateral Agent an instrument in the form of Annex 1 attached hereto. Upon the execution and delivery of Annex 1 by such New Subsidiary, such New Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding a New Subsidiary as a party to this Security Agreement shall not require the consent of any Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any New Subsidiary hereunder.

12.6 Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Security Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Security Agreement.

[Signature pages follow.]

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this Security Agreement to be executed and delivered by its duly authorized officer on the date first set forth above.

ANNEX 1 TO SECURITY AGREEMENT
FORM OF SUPPLEMENT

Supplement No. (this "Supplement") dated as of , 20 , to the Security Agreement dated as of October [ ], 2006 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Security Agreement"), by each of the parties listed on the signature pages thereto as grantors and those additional entities that thereafter become parties thereto as grantors ("Grantors"), the secured parties listed on the signature pages thereto (the "Secured Parties"), and Sandler Capital Management, a New York general partnership, in its capacity as collateral agent on behalf of the Secured Parties (the "Collateral Agent"), by and between [ ] ("New Subsidiary") and the Collateral Agent.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, each Secured Party has made and has agreed to make certain advances of money and to extend certain financial accommodation to Grantors as evidenced by those certain Secured Promissory Notes dated October [ ], 2006 executed by Grantors in favor of each Secured Party (each, a "Note" and, collectively, the "Notes"), such advances and financial accommodation being referred to herein as the "Loans";

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Grantors have entered into the Security Agreement in order to induce the Secured Parties to make the Loans to Grantors; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 12.5 of the Security Agreement, each Grantor must cause New Subsidiary to enter into the Security Agreement by executing and delivering this Supplement in favor of Collateral Agent.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, New Subsidiary hereby agrees as follows:

In accordance with Section 12.5 of the Security Agreement, New Subsidiary, by its signature below, becomes a "Grantor" under the Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a "Grantor" and New Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to all of the terms and provisions of the Security Agreement applicable to it as a "Grantor" thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a "Grantor" thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, New Subsidiary, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations, does hereby grant, assign, and pledge to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in and to all assets of such New Subsidiary including all property of the type described in Section 2 of the Security Agreement, to secure the full and prompt payment of the Secured Obligations, but excluding the property described in the penultimate paragraph of Section 2 of the Security Agreement (commencing with the words "Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2").
