complete payment and performance by the Borrower when due (whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) of the Borrower Obligations (other than, in the case of each Guarantor,
Borrower Obligations arising pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 2.1(a) in respect of Guarantor

Obligations of such Guarantor.
(b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum
liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed
the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor

under applicable federal and state laws
relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established
in Section 2.2).
(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Borrower Obligations may at any time and from time to time
exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee of
such Guarantor contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the
Administrative Agent or any Secured Party hereunder.
(d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all
the Borrower Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in
this Section 2 shall have been satisfied by payment in full, no Letter of Credit shall be
outstanding and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during
the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrower may be free from any Borrower Obligations and any or
all of the Guarantors may be free from their respective Guarantor Obligations.
(e) No payment made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other
Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party from the Borrower,
any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or
proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in
reduction of or in payment of the Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations
shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor
hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment received or
collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Hedge
Agreement Obligations, respectively), remain liable for the Borrower Obligations and the Guarantor
Hedge Agreement Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the

Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments are terminated.

such payment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of Section 2.3. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the
obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the
Secured Parties, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent
and the Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.
(b) The Borrower and each Guarantor agrees that to the extent that the Borrower or any
Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder in
respect of any Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligation of any other Guarantor, the Borrower or such
Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against
the Borrower and any other Guarantor which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment.
7
(c) The Borrower’s and each Guarantor’s right of contribution under this Section 2.2 shall be
subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall in no
respect limit the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower or any Guarantor to the
Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, and the Borrower and each Guarantor shall remain
liable to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by the
Borrower or such Guarantor hereunder.
2.3 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or
any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Administrative Agent or any Secured
Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative
Agent or any Secured Party against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security
or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party for the
payment of the Borrower Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any
contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made
by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Secured
Parties by the Borrower on account of the Borrower Obligations are paid in full, no Letter of
Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any
Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Borrower Obligations
shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the
Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and
shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the
exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent,
if required), to be applied against the Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Hedge Agreement
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.
2.4 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Borrower Obligations. Each Guarantor shall
remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any
Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any
of the Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations made by the Administrative
Agent or any Secured Party may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party and
any of the Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations continued, and the
Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations, or the liability of any other
Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of
offset with
respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended,
modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or
any Secured Party, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents
executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or
terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders or all
Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security,
guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party for
the payment of the Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations may be sold,
exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party
shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as
security for the Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations or for the
guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.
8
2.5 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. (a) Each Guarantor waives any and all
notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Borrower Obligations (other
than any notice with respect to any Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligation with respect to which such
Guarantor is a primary obligor and to which it is entitled pursuant to the applicable Specified
Hedge Agreement) and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Secured
Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in
this Section 2; the Borrower Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have
been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the
guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, on the other
hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the
guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives notice of acceleration, notice of
intent to accelerate, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or
nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Borrower
Obligations (other than any diligence, presentment, protest, demand or notice with respect to any
Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligation with respect to which such Guarantor is a primary obligor and
to which it is entitled pursuant to the applicable Specified Hedge Agreement). Each Guarantor
understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a
continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (1) the validity or
enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Borrower Obligations
or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at
any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party, (2) any
defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any
time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative
Agent or any Secured Party, or (3) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or
knowledge of the Borrower or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to
constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Borrower Obligations, or of
such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other
instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder
against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may, but shall be under no
obligation to, make a similar demand on
or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other
Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Borrower
Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative
Agent or any Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to
collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon
any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release
of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee
or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and
shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a
matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the
purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
(b) The Borrower waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of
any of the Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the
Administrative Agent or any Secured Party upon the guarantee by the Borrower contained
9
in this
Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee by the Borrower contained in this Section 2; the Guarantor
Hedge Agreement Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created,
contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee by
the Borrower contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, on the other
hand, with respect to any Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligation likewise shall be conclusively
presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee by the Borrower contained
in this Section 2. The Borrower waives notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate,
diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon
the Borrower with respect to the Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations. The Borrower understands
and agrees that the guarantee by the Borrower contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a
continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or
enforceability of the Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations or any other collateral security
therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held
by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other
than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by
any Person against the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party, or (c) any other circumstance
whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or any Guarantor) which
constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the applicable
Guarantor for the applicable Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations, or of the Borrower under its
guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any
demand under this Section 2 or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies under this Section 2
against the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may, but shall be under no
obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have
against any Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the
Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure
by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other
rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any Guarantor or any other Person or to realize
upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any
release of any Guarantor or any other Person or any such
collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve the Borrower of any
obligation or liability under this Section 2, and shall not impair or affect the rights and
remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or
any Secured Party against the Borrower under this Section 2. For the purposes hereof “demand”
shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
2.6 Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be
effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of
any of the Borrower Obligations or the Guarantor Hedge Agreement Obligations is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any
Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of,
or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its
property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Investment
Property or Proceeds thereof (except pursuant to a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement),

payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event,
within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by

each of the Receivables (or any agreement giving rise thereto) to observe and perform all the
conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with

Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise
thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Administrative Agent
or any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any
Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or
pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any
inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency
of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to

Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.3(b), each
Grantor shall
be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and all
payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, in each case paid in the normal course of business
of the relevant Issuer, to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting
and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Securities; provided, however,
that no vote shall be cast or corporate right exercised or other action taken which, in the
Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment, would impair the Collateral or which would be
inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall
give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the
Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other
Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Securities and make application thereof to the Obligations
in the order set forth in Section 6.5, and (ii) any or all of the Pledged Securities shall be
registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee, and the Administrative Agent or
its nominee may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such
Pledged Securities at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise
and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights,
privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Securities as if
20
it were the absolute owner
thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the
Pledged Securities upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other
fundamental change in the corporate structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or
the Administrative Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Securities,
and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Securities
with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such
terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability except to
account for property actually received by it, but the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to
any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any
failure to do so or delay in so doing.
(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged Securities pledged
by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative
Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is
otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions
from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so
complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other
payments with respect to the Pledged Securities directly to the Administrative Agent.
6.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Administrative Agent. In addition to the rights of
the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments
of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any
Grantor consisting of cash, checks and Instruments shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the
Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and
shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the
exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, if
required). All Proceeds received
by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a
Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the
Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative
Agent and the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the
Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.5.
6.5 Application of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent, or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at
any time at the Administrative Agent’s election, the Administrative Agent shall apply all or any
part of Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and any
proceeds of the guarantee set forth in Section 2, in payment of the Obligations in the following
order:
First, to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent
under the Loan Documents;
Second, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards payment of
amounts then due and owing and remaining unpaid in respect of the Obligations, pro
rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts of the Obligations then due
and owing and remaining unpaid to the Secured Parties;
21
Third, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards prepayment of
the Obligations, pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts
of the Obligations then held by the Secured Parties; and
Fourth, any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Obligations shall have
been paid in full, no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall have
terminated, shall be paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to
receive the same.
6.6 Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other
rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement
securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party
under the New York UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment,
protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below)
to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements
and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate
and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign,
give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part
thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale
or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or any Secured
Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at
such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without
assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent or any Secured Party shall have the right
upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale
or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity
of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor
further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it
available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably
select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the
net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, after deducting all reasonable
costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or
safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the
Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, as
specified in Section 6.5, and only after such application and after the payment by the
Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without
limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the
surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives
all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any Secured
Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed
sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed
reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.
6.7 Registration Rights. (a) Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent
may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain
22
prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and
may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers
which 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. Each Grantor
acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less
favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that
it is not commercially unreasonable to conduct such a private sale. The Administrative Agent
shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time
necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the
Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do
so.
(b) Each Grantor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done
all such acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged
Stock pursuant to this Section 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other
applicable Requirements of Law other than the filing of registration, qualification or similar
statements under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. Each Grantor further
agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 will cause irreparable
injury to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent and the
Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence,
that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.7 shall be
specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not
to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a
defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement.
6.8 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds
of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the
fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party
to collect such deficiency.
SECTION 7. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
7.1 Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. (a) Each Grantor
hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent
thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full
irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such
Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take
any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be
necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and
right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of
the following:
(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and
indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the
payment of moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral and file
any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise
deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the
23
purpose of collecting any and all
such moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral whenever
payable;
(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded,
any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Administrative Agent may
request to evidence the Administrative Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ security interest in
such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating
thereto or represented thereby;
(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the
Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement
and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;
(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.6 or 6.7, any
indorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the
Collateral; and
(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make
payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative
Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and
receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to
become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse
any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts,
drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in
connection with any of 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 portion 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 such suit, action or
proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the
Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark
(along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark
pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such
manner, as the Administrative Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8)
generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal
with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were
the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent’s option
and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the
Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and
the Administrative Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect
the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent
agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this
Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
24
(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the
Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or
otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.
(c) The expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as
provided in this Section 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate
per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due Revolving Credit Loans that are Base
Rate Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent to the
date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Administrative
Agent on demand.
(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done
by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled
with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests
created hereby are released.
7.2 Duty of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical
preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or
otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with
similar property for its own account. Neither the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party nor any
of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand,
collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any
obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any
other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part
thereof. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder are
solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral
and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any
such powers. The Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for
amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor
any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any
act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
7.3 Execution of Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable law, each Grantor
authorizes the Administrative Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing or
recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such
Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines
appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement.
Each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to use the collateral description “all personal
property other than Excluded Assets (as defined on Annex A attached hereto)” in any such financing
statements. Each Grantor hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing by the Administrative Agent of
any financing statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date hereof.
7.4 Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and
responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken
by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any
option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting
or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the
25
Secured
Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as
may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the Grantors,
the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured
Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be
under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS
8.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement.
8.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent or
any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 10.2 of the Credit
Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall
be addressed to such Guarantor care of the Borrower at the address specified in Section 10.2 of the
Credit Agreement.
8.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Administrative
Agent nor any Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section
8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy
hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor
any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party, any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of
any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any
Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar
to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party would otherwise have on
any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised
singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
8.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Subject to Section 10.5 of the Credit
Agreement, each Guarantor agrees to pay, or reimburse each Secured Party and the Administrative
Agent for, all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under the
guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, including, without
limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of
in-house counsel) to each Secured Party and of counsel to the Administrative Agent.
(b) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties
harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any
and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with
respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
(c) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties
harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
26
actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to
the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this
Agreement to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 10.5 of
the Credit Agreement.
(d) The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other
amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
8.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and
assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured
Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or
delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent.
8.6 Set-Off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and
each Secured Party at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, without notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor, any such notice being
expressly waived by each Grantor, to set-off as appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but excluding deposits held by such Grantor in a
fiduciary capacity for others), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in
any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or
unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party to or for
the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as the
Administrative Agent or such Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations and
liabilities of such Grantor to the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party hereunder and claims
of every nature and description of the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party against such
Grantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan
Document or otherwise, as the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party may elect, whether or not
the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party has made any demand for payment and although such
obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The Administrative Agent and
each Secured Party shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made
by the Administrative Agent or such Lender of the proceeds thereof, provided that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The
rights of the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party under this Section are in addition to
other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the
Administrative Agent or such Secured Party may have.
8.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to
this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said
counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
8.8 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 without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
any other jurisdiction.
27
8.9 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience
of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in
the interpretation hereof.
8.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement
of the Grantors, the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties
by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not
expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.
8.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND
INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
8.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally:
(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and
enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of
the Courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the
Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;
(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and
waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or
proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an
inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;
(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by
mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of
mail), postage prepaid, to such Grantor at its address referred to in Section 8.2 or at such
other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;
(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in
any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction;
and
(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim
or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special,
exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.
8.13 Acknowledgments. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that:
(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;
(b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party has any fiduciary
relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this
28
Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one
hand, and the Administrative Agent and Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection
herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and
(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise
exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among
the Grantors and the Secured Parties.
8.14 Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to become
a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.9 of the Credit Agreement shall become a Grantor
for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption
Agreement in the form of Annex 1 hereto.
8.15 Releases. (a) At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the
other Obligations (other than Borrower Hedge Agreement Obligations and Guarantor Hedge Agreement
Obligations) shall have been paid in full, the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of
Credit shall be outstanding, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created hereby, and
this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination)
of the Administrative Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any
instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to
the Grantors. At the request and sole expense of any Grantor following any such termination, the
Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Grantor any Collateral held by the Administrative Agent
hereunder, and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably
request to evidence such termination.
(b) If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any
Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, then the Administrative
Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such
Grantor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the
Liens created hereby on such Collateral. At the request and sole expense of the Borrower, a
Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the
Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a
transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement; provided that the Borrower shall have
delivered to the Administrative Agent, at least 10 Business Days prior to the date of the proposed
release, a written request for release identifying the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor and the terms
of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses
in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Borrower stating that such
transaction is in compliance with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
8.16 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GRANTOR AND, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THE BENEFITS HEREOF,
EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY
COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
8.17 Additional Waiver. Each Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that such
Guarantor may have because the Borrower’s debt is secured by real property. This means, among other
things: (i) the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may collect from any Guarantor without first
foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the Borrower and
29
(ii) if the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders foreclose on any real property collateral pledged by the
Borrower, (A) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is
sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (B) the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders may collect from the Guarantors even if the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right any
Guarantor may have to collect from the Borrower. THIS IS AN UNCONDITIONAL AND IRREVOCABLE WAIVER OF
ANY RIGHTS AND DEFENSES ANY GUARANTOR MAY HAVE BECAUSE THE BORROWER’S DEBT IS SECURED BY REAL
PROPERTY. THESE RIGHTS AND DEFENSES INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, ANY RIGHTS AND DEFENSES BASED
UPON SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580d, OR 726 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE. Each Guarantor
waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent
or the Lenders, even though that election of remedies, such as a non-judicial foreclosure with
respect to security for an Obligation guaranteed by any Guarantor, has destroyed any Guarantor’s
rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by operation of Section 580d of the
California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the undersigned has caused this Guarantee and Collateral Agreement
to be duly executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
