This Agreement amends and restates that certain Pledge and Security
Agreement dated as of April 30, 2001 by and among the Initial Pledgors (other

but not otherwise defined, herein have the meanings specified in the Collateral
Trust Agreement (defined below) and, unless otherwise defined in this Agreement
or in the Collateral Trust Agreement, terms defined in Article 8 or 9 of the
UCC and/or in the Federal Book Entry Regulations (as defined below) are used in
this Agreement as such terms are defined in such Article 8 or 9 and/or the
Federal Book Entry Regulations. "UCC" means the Uniform Commercial Code as in
effect, from time to time, in the State of New York; provided that, if
perfection or the effect of perfection or non-perfection or the priority of any
security interest in any Collateral is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code
as in effect in a jurisdiction other than New York, "UCC" means the Uniform

identical to the federal regulations referred to in clause (a) above (as in

and restated have been updated to take into account the revisions to Article 9
of the UCC recently enacted in all 50 states and which became effective in New
York and most other states on July 1,
2001 (the "Modernizing Changes"). Although the collateral descriptions in
previously filed financing statements corresponded to the terms used in the UCC
before the Modernizing Changes, the parties hereto intend that such financing
statements and collateral descriptions will continue to be effective and will
relate to and cover the items and types of Collateral described herein (other
than as set forth in Section 9-108(e)(1) of the UCC).

interest therein would constitute a breach of the terms of such license,
permit or authorization or would require any separate license, permit or
authorization or would otherwise terminate such license, permit or
authorization (all of the licenses, permits and authorizations referred to
herein being the "Excluded Authorizations"); provided, however, that any
of the Excluded Authorizations shall cease to be excluded from this
Section 1 at such time as (1) the prohibition of assignment or of the
creation of a lien and security interest in such license, permit or
authorization is no longer in effect or is rendered ineffective as a
matter of law or (2) the applicable Pledgor has obtained the consent of
the applicable Governmental Authority to the assignment of, or creation of
a lien and security interest in, such license, permit or authorization of
such Pledgor; and
(iii) any property of a Pledgor which is subject to any Lien which
such Pledgor is permitted to enter into pursuant to the terms of Section
6.02(a)(iv) or (if not permitted by the lease terms) 6.02(a)(v) of the
Master Agreement, to the extent that such Pledgor has agreed not to
further encumber such property (all such property being "Other Excluded
Property"), shall be excluded from the lien and security interest granted
by such Pledgor under this Section 1; provided, however, that any such
Other Excluded Property shall cease to be excluded from this Section 1 if,
at any time, the prohibition of assignment or the creation of a lien and
security interest in such property is no longer in effect by reason of an
amendment, waiver or other modification of the applicable Security
Instrument or the release or satisfaction of such Security Instrument.
In addition, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require any
Pledgor to seek the consent of any Person or Governmental Authority to the
assignment of, or the creation of a lien on or a security interest in, any
Excluded Agreement, Excluded Authorization or Other Excluded Property.
Section 2. Security for Secured Obligations.

under the Secured Agreements, for the Equal and Ratable Benefit of all of
the Secured Holders thereof and their Representatives and (ii) in the case
of any Collateral granted by a Pledgor that is an Unrestricted Subsidiary
Pledgor, the payment and performance of all the Secured Obligations of the
Pledgors now or hereafter existing under the Secured Agreements, other

(b) With respect to any Rexair Collateral, the Lien created by this

and all commitments thereunder terminated, a second priority Lien,
subordinate to the prior Lien of the Rexair Collateral Documents.
Section 3. Pledgors Remain Liable. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding,

agreements included in such Pledgor's Collateral to the extent set forth
therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the
same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed,
(b) the exercise by the Collateral Trustees of any of the rights
hereunder shall not release any Pledgor from any of its duties or
obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral
and
(c) neither the Collateral Trustees nor any Secured Holder shall have
any obligation or liability under the contracts and agreements included in

shall the Collateral Trustees or any Secured Holder be obligated to

Agreements:
(a) All certificates or instruments representing or evidencing
Security Collateral shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the
Collateral Trustees pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form for
transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments
of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory
to the Collateral Trustees. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Actionable Default, the Collateral Trustees shall have the right, at
any time in their discretion and without notice to any Pledgor, to

any right, title or interest and that constitutes an uncertificated
security, such Pledgor will cause the issuer thereof either (i) to
register the Collateral Trustees as the registered owner of such security
or (ii) to agree in an authenticated record with such Pledgor and the
Collateral Trustees that such issuer will comply with instructions with
respect to such security originated by the Collateral Trustees without
further consent of such Pledgor, such authenticated record to be in form
and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Trustees. Each Pledgor which
has issued any Security Collateral to any other Pledgor hereby agrees with
such other Pledgor and the Collateral Trustees that it will comply with
instructions with respect to such Security Collateral originated by the
Collateral Trustees without further consent of such other Pledgor.
(c) With respect to any Security Collateral in which any Pledgor has
any right, title or interest and that constitutes a security entitlement,
such Pledgor will cause the securities intermediary with respect to such
security entitlement either (i) to identify in its records the Collateral
Trustees as the entitlement holder of such security entitlement against
such securities intermediary or (ii) to agree in an authenticated record
with such Pledgor and the Collateral Trustees that such securities
intermediary will comply with entitlement orders (that is, notifications
communicated to such securities intermediary directing transfer or
redemption of the financial asset to which such Pledgor has a security
entitlement) originated by the Collateral Trustees without further consent
of such Pledgor, such authenticated record to be in substantially the form
of Exhibit C hereto or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the
Collateral Trustees (such agreement being a "Securities Account Control
Agreement"). Each Pledgor agrees that it will not establish or open any
additional securities account in addition to those listed in Part C of
Schedule I hereto, unless the Collateral Trustee shall have received at
least 10 days' prior notice of such addition in an authenticated record
and shall have received a Securities Account Control Agreement (or a
supplement to an existing Securities Account Control Agreement) covering
such new securities account, and upon the receipt by the Collateral
Trustees of such Securities Account Control Agreement (or supplement),
Part C of Schedule I hereto shall be automatically amended to include such
securities account. Each Pledgor agrees that it will not terminate any
Securities Account unless the Collateral Trustees and the Required
Representatives shall have received at least 10 days' prior notice of such
termination in an authenticated record (and, upon such termination, Part C
of Schedule I hereto shall be automatically amended to delete such
Securities Account).
(d) No Pledgor will change or add any securities intermediary that
maintains any securities account in which any of the Collateral is
credited or carried, or change or add any such securities account, in each
case without first complying with the above provisions of this Section 4
in order to perfect the security interest granted hereunder in such
Collateral.
13
Section 5. Maintaining the Pledged Accounts. So long as any Bank
Exposure shall remain unpaid or outstanding, or any Secured Hedge Agreement
shall be in effect, or any Bank shall have any Commitment under the Credit

Trustees directing the disposition of funds in the Account Collateral
without the further consent of the Pledgor and (ii) waive or subordinate
in favor of the Collateral Trustees all claims of the Controlled Account
Bank (including claims by way of a security interest, right of setoff or
right of recoupment) to the Account Collateral, which authenticated record
shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, or shall otherwise
be in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Trustees (each a
"Deposit Account Control Agreement"); provided, however, that this Section
5(a) shall not at any time apply to any Deposit Accounts (the "Other
Deposit Accounts") to the extent such accounts are permitted pursuant to
Section 6.01(n) of the Master Agreement to be maintained with institutions
located in the United States other than Permitted Account Banks (as
defined in the Master Agreement).
(b) If requested by the Required Representatives upon or during the
continuance of a Default, each Pledgor will (i) immediately instruct each
Person obligated at any time to make any payment to such Pledgor for any
reason to make such payment to an Other Deposit Account or a Controlled

Account Control Agreement with any Controlled Account Bank, each Pledgor

Controlled Deposit Account or Other Deposit Account. If any Pledgor shall
fail to give any such instructions to any Controlled Account Banks, the
Collateral Trustees may do so without further notice to any Pledgor.
(d) Each Pledgor agrees that it will not maintain any deposit
accounts other than a Deposit Account listed in Schedule V hereto or an
Other Deposit Account, unless the Collateral Trustees shall have received
at least 10 days' prior written notice of such addition and shall have
received a Deposit Account Control Agreement authenticated by such new
Controlled Account Bank and such Pledgor, or a supplement to an existing
Deposit Account Control Agreement covering such new Controlled Deposit
Account, as the case may be (and, upon the receipt by the Collateral
Trustees of such Deposit Account Control Agreement or supplement, Schedule
V hereto shall be automatically amended to include such new Controlled
Deposit Account and, if any, such new Controlled Account Bank. Each
Pledgor agrees that it will not terminate any bank as a Controlled Account
Bank or terminate any Deposit Account Control Agreement,
14
Controlled Deposit Account, other Deposit Account or Account Collateral,
except that the Pledgor may terminate an Other Deposit Account, and
terminate a bank as a Controlled Account Banks with respect to such Other
Deposit Account, if it gives the Collateral Trustees at least 10 days'
prior written notice of such termination (and, upon such termination,
Schedule V hereto shall be automatically amended to delete such Controlled
Account Bank, Controlled Deposit Account or Other Deposit Account).
(e) Upon any termination by a Pledgor of any Controlled Deposit
Account or Other Deposit Account, or any Controlled Account Banks with
respect thereto, such Pledgor will immediately notify all Persons that
were making payments to such Controlled Deposit Account or Other Deposit
Account to make all future payments to another Controlled Deposit Account
or Other Deposit Account listed in Schedule V (as amended from time to
time, including pursuant to Section 5(d) hereof). Each Pledgor agrees to
terminate any or all Account Collateral and Deposit Account Control
Agreements upon request by the Collateral Trustees.
(f) So long as no Actionable Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Collateral Trustees will, to the extent funds are
available in a Cash Concentration Account or the Collateral Account,
direct the applicable Controlled Account Bank to transfer amounts on
deposit in a Cash Concentration Account or Collateral Account to an
operating account (each, an "Operating Account") to the extent necessary
to pay all checks drawn on, and all amounts otherwise withdrawn from, the
Operating Account.
(g) The Collateral Trustees shall have sole right to direct the
disposition of funds with respect to each of the Deposit Accounts; and it
shall be a term and condition of each of Deposit Accounts, notwithstanding
any term or condition to the contrary in any other agreement relating to
such Deposit Accounts, that no amount (including interest on Cash
Equivalents credited thereto) will be paid or released to or for the
account of, or withdrawn by or for the account of, the Borrower or any
other Person from such Deposit Accounts, as the case may be, without the
prior written consent of the Collateral Trustees.
(h) Subject to the applicable provisions of the Collateral Trust
Agreement, the Collateral Trustees may, at any time that an Actionable
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and without notice to, or
consent from, the Pledgor, (i) transfer, or direct the transfer of, funds
from the Account Collateral to satisfy the Pledgor's obligations under the
Loan Documents and (ii) transfer, or direct the transfer of, funds from
any or all of the Deposit Accounts to the Collateral Account.
Section 6. Investing of Amounts in the Cash Concentration Accounts,
the Collateral Account and the Cash Collateral Accounts. So long as the
Collateral Trustees shall not have received a notice of Actionable Default
pursuant to the Collateral Trust Agreement the Collateral Trustees will,
subject to the provisions of Sections 5, 7 and 20, from time to time direct the
applicable Controlled Account Bank to (a) invest amounts received with respect
to the Collateral Account, the Cash Concentration Account and each Cash
Collateral Account in Cash Equivalents as the Borrower may select, provided,
that amounts received in respect of the Cash Collateral Accounts may only be
invested in Permitted Cash Equivalents (as defined in the
15
Master Agreement) credited to (A) the applicable Cash Concentration Account,
Collateral Account or Cash Collateral Account, or (B) in the case of Cash
Equivalents consisting of Securities Collateral, a securities account subject
to a Securities Account Control Agreement, credited to such Collateral Account,
Cash Concentration Account or Cash Collateral Account and (b) invest interest
paid on the Cash Equivalents referred to in clause (a) above, and reinvest
other proceeds of any such Cash Equivalents that may mature or be sold, in each
case in such Cash Equivalents credited in the same manner. Interest and
proceeds that are not invested or reinvested in Cash Equivalents as provided
above shall be deposited and held in the relevant Cash Concentration Account,
Collateral Account or Cash Collateral Account. In addition, the Collateral
Trustees shall have the right at any time to direct the applicable Controlled
Account Banks to exchange such Cash Equivalents for similar Cash Equivalents of
smaller or larger determinations, or for other Cash Equivalents, credited to
such Collateral Account, Cash Concentration Account or Cash Collateral Account,
as the case may be.

order of the Borrower or Pledgor, or to the Debt Coordinator at the request of
such Borrower or Pledgor, funds from time to time on deposit in the Collateral
Account and other Deposit Accounts, to be applied to the repayment or Permanent

reasonably desirable, or as the Collateral Trustees may reasonably request, in
order to perfect and preserve the security interest granted or purported to be
granted by such Pledgor hereunder; (iv) deliver and pledge to the Collateral
Trustees for the benefit of the Secured Holders certificates representing
Security Collateral that constitutes certificated securities, accompanied by
undated stock or bond powers executed in blank; (v) take all action necessary
to insure that
21
the Collateral Trustees have control of Collateral consisting of deposit
accounts, electronic chattel paper, investment property and letter-of-credit
rights as provided in Sections 9-104, 9-105, 9-106 and 9-107 of the UCC; and
(vi) deliver to the Collateral Trustees evidence that all other action that the
Collateral Trustees may deem reasonably necessary or desirable in order to
perfect and protect the security interest created by such Pledgor under this
Agreement has been taken. From time to time upon request by the Collateral
Trustees, each Pledgor will, at such Pledgor's expense, cause to be delivered
to the Collateral Trustees, for the benefit of the Secured Holders and their
Representatives, an opinion of counsel, from outside counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Trustees, as to such matters relating to the
transactions contemplated hereby as the Collateral Trustees may reasonably
request.
(b) Each Pledgor hereby authorizes the Collateral Trustees to file
one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto,
relating to all or any part of the Collateral of such Pledgor without the
signature of such Pledgor. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement
or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be
sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.
(c) Each Pledgor will furnish to the Collateral Trustees from time to
time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral
of such Pledgor and such other reports in connection with such Collateral as
the Collateral Trustees may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.
(d) The Borrowers will furnish to the Collateral Trustees, on or
prior to each of the first and the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date (but
not more than six months prior thereto), at any time upon the request of the
Collateral Trustees, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Required
Representatives to the effect that all financing or continuation statements
have been filed, and all other action has been taken (including action
necessary to give the Collateral Trustees control over the Collateral as
provided in Sections 9-104, 9-105, 9-106 and 9-107 of the UCC), to perfect
continuously from the date which is 90 days from the date hereof the security
interest granted hereunder.
Section 11. As to Equipment and Inventory. (a) Each Pledgor will keep
the Equipment and Inventory of such Pledgor (other than Inventory sold in the
ordinary course of business) at the places therefor specified in Section 9(b)
or, upon 30 days' prior written notice to the Collateral Trustees, at such
other places designated by the Pledgor in such notice. Upon the giving of such
notice, Schedule II hereto shall be automatically amended to add any new
locations specified in the notice.
(b) Each Pledgor will cause the Equipment of such Pledgor to be
maintained and preserved in the same condition, repair and working order as
when new, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and in accordance with any
manufacturer's manual, and will forthwith, or in the case of any loss or damage
to any of such Equipment as soon as practicable after the occurrence thereof,
make or cause to be made all repairs, replacements and other improvements in
connection therewith that are necessary or desirable to such end. Each Pledgor
will promptly furnish to the Collateral Trustees and the Representatives a
statement respecting any loss or damage exceeding [$5,000,000] to any of the
Equipment or Inventory of such Pledgor.
22
(c) Each Pledgor will pay promptly when due all property and other
taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon, and all
claims (including, without limitation, claims for labor, materials and
supplies) against, the Equipment and Inventory of such Pledgor, except to the
extent payment thereof is not required by Section 7.06 of the USI Credit
Agreement. In producing its Inventory, each Pledgor will comply with all
requirements of applicable law, including, without limitation, to the extent
applicable, the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Section 12. Insurance. (a) Each Pledgor will, at its own expense,
maintain insurance with respect to the Equipment and Inventory of such Pledgor
in such amounts, against such risks, in such form and with such insurers as is
customarily maintained by companies similarly situated to such Pledgor. Each
such policy shall at all times (i) name such Pledgor and the Collateral
Trustees as insured parties thereunder (without any representation or warranty
by or obligation upon the Collateral Trustees) as their interests may appear,
(ii) contain the agreement by the insurer that any loss thereunder shall be
payable to the Collateral Trustees following notice from the Collateral
Trustees of an Actionable Default, notwithstanding any action, inaction or
breach of representation or warranty by such Pledgor, (iii) provide that there
shall be no recourse against the Collateral Trustees for payment of premiums or
other amounts with respect thereto and (iv) provide that at least 30 days'
prior written notice of cancellation or of lapse shall be given to the
Collateral Trustees by the insurer. Each Pledgor will, if so requested by the
Collateral Trustees, deliver to the Collateral Trustees original or duplicate
policies of such insurance and, as often as the Collateral Trustees may
reasonably request, a report of a reputable insurance broker with respect to
such insurance. Further, each Pledgor will, at the request of the Collateral
Trustees, duly execute and deliver instruments of assignment of such insurance
policies to comply with the requirements of Section 11 and cause the insurers
to acknowledge notice of such assignment.
(b) Reimbursement under any liability insurance maintained by any
Pledgor pursuant to this Section 12 may be paid directly to the Person who
shall have incurred liability covered by such insurance. In case of any loss
involving damage to Equipment or Inventory when subsection (c) of this Section
12 is not applicable, the applicable Pledgor will make or cause to be made the
necessary repairs to or replacements of such Equipment or Inventory, and any
proceeds of insurance properly received by or released to such Pledgor shall be
used by such Pledgor, except as otherwise required hereunder or by the Credit
Agreements, to pay or as reimbursement for the costs of such repairs or
replacements.
(c) So long as no Actionable Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, all insurance payments received by the Collateral Trustees in
connection with any loss, damage or destruction of any Inventory or Equipment
will be released by the Collateral Trustees to the applicable Pledgor. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Actionable Default, all insurance
payments in respect of such Equipment or Inventory shall be paid to the
Collateral Trustees and shall, as directed by the Required Representatives, (i)
be released to the applicable Pledgor to be applied as set forth in the first
sentence of this subsection (c) or (ii) be held as additional Collateral
hereunder or applied as specified in Section 20(b).
Section 13. Post-Closing Changes; Bailees; Receivables and Related
Contracts. (a) Each Pledgor will not change its name, identity, corporate
structure, federal tax identification
23
number, organizational identification number, or location from those set forth
in Section 9(a) of this Agreement without first giving at least 30 days'
advance written notice to the Collateral Trustees and taking all action
required by the Collateral Trustees for the purpose of perfecting or protecting
the liens granted by this Agreement. Each Pledgor will not become bound by a
security agreement signed or authenticated by another Person (determined as
provided in Section 9-203(d) of the UCC) without giving the Collateral Trustees
30 days' prior written notice thereof and taking all action required by the
Collateral Trustees to insure that the perfection and first priority nature of
the Collateral Trustees' lien on the Collateral will be maintained. Each
Pledgor will also keep the originals of the Related Contracts to which such
Pledgor is a party and all originals of all chattel paper that evidence
Receivables of such Pledgor at the locations therefor specified in Section 9(a)
or, upon 30 days' prior written notice to the Collateral Trustees, at such
other locations designated in such notice. Each Pledgor will hold and preserve
its records relating to the Collateral, the Related Contracts and chattel
paper, and will permit representatives of the Collateral Trustees at any time
during normal business hours to inspect and make abstracts from such records
and other documents.
(b) If any material portion of its Collateral is at any time in the
possession or control of a warehouseman, bailee or agent, or if the Collateral
Trustees so request, such Pledgor will (i) notify such warehouseman, bailee or
agent of the security interests, (ii) instruct such warehouseman, bailee or
agent to hold all such Collateral for the Collateral Trustees' account subject
to the Collateral Trustees' instructions (which shall permit such Collateral to
be removed by such Pledgor in the ordinary course of business until the
Collateral Trustees notify such warehouseman, bailee or agent that an
Actionable Default has occurred and is continuing), (iii) using commercially
reasonable efforts, cause such warehouseman, bailee or agent to authenticate a
record acknowledging that it holds possession of such Collateral for the
Collateral Trustees' benefit and (iv) make such authenticated record available
to the Collateral Trustees.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (c), each Pledgor
will continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due
such Pledgor under the Receivables and the Related Contracts. In connection
with such collections, such Pledgor may take (and, at the Collateral Trustees'
direction, will take) such action as such Pledgor or the Collateral Trustees
may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the
Receivables and the Related Contracts; provided, however, that the Collateral
Trustees shall have the right at any time, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Actionable Default and upon written notice to such Pledgor of
its intention to do so, to notify the Account Obligors under any Receivables or
Related Contracts of the assignment of such Receivables or Related Contracts to
the Collateral Trustees and to direct such Account Obligors to make payment of
all amounts due or to become due to such Pledgor thereunder directly to the
Collateral Trustees and, upon such notification and at the expense of such
Pledgor, to enforce collection of any such Receivables or Related Contracts,
and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same
manner and to the same extent as such Pledgor might have done, and to otherwise
exercise all rights with respect to such Receivables and Related Contracts,
including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC.
After receipt by any Pledgor of the notice from the Collateral Trustees
referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence, (i) all amounts and
proceeds (including instruments) received by such Pledgor in respect of the
Receivables and the Related Contracts of such Pledgor shall be received in
trust for the benefit of the Collateral Trustees hereunder, shall be segregated
from other funds of such Pledgor and shall
24
be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Trustees in the same form as so
received (with any necessary indorsement) to be deposited in the Collateral
Account and (ii) such Pledgor will not adjust, settle or compromise the amount
or payment of any Receivable or amount due on any Related Contract, release
wholly or partly any Account Obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount
thereon. No Pledgor will permit or consent to the subordination of its right to
payment under any of the Receivables or the Related Contracts to any other
indebtedness or obligations of the Account Obligor thereof.
Section 14. As to Intellectual Property Collateral. (a) With respect
to each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral set forth on Schedule IV,
other than any Immaterial IP Collateral, each Pledgor agrees to take, at its
expense, all necessary steps, including, without limitation, in the U.S. Patent
and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other governmental
authority, to (i) maintain the validity and enforceability of each such item of
Intellectual Property Collateral and maintain each such item of Intellectual
Property Collateral in full force and effect and (ii) pursue the registration
and maintenance of each patent, trademark, or copyright registration or
application, now or hereafter included in such Intellectual Property Collateral
of such Pledgor, including, without limitation, the payment of required fees
and taxes, the filing of responses to office actions issued by the U.S. Patent
and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office or other governmental
authorities, the filing of applications for renewal or extension, the filing of
affidavits under Sections 8 and 15 of the U.S. Trademark Act, the filing of
divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue and renewal
applications or extensions, the payment of maintenance fees and the
participation in interference, reexamination, opposition, cancellation,
infringement and misappropriation proceedings. No Pledgor shall, without the
written consent of the Required Representatives, discontinue use of or
otherwise abandon any Intellectual Property Collateral, other than any
Immaterial IP Collateral, or abandon any right to file an application for
letters, patent, trademark, or copyright, unless such Pledgor shall have
previously determined that such use or the pursuit or maintenance of such
Intellectual Property Collateral is no longer desirable in the conduct of such
Pledgor's business and that the loss thereof would not be reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Credit Agreements), in which
case, such Pledgor will give prompt notice of any such abandonment to the
Collateral Trustees and the Representatives.
(b) Each Pledgor agrees promptly (and, in any case, on or prior to
the date of the next quarterly compliance certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 7.02(a) of the USI Credit Agreement) to notify the Collateral Trustees
and the Representatives if such Pledgor learns (i) that any item of the
Intellectual Property Collateral may have become abandoned, placed in the
public domain, or invalid or unenforceable, or of any adverse determination or
development regarding such Pledgor's ownership of any of the Intellectual
Property Collateral or its right to register the same or to keep and maintain
and enforce the same, or (ii) of any adverse determination or the institution
of any proceeding (including, without limitation, the institution of any
proceeding in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or any court) regarding any
item of the Intellectual Property Collateral.
(c) Except with respect to any Immaterial IP Collateral, in the event
that any Pledgor becomes aware that any item of the Intellectual Property
Collateral is being infringed or misappropriated by a third party, such Pledgor
shall promptly (and, in any case, on or prior to the date of the next quarterly
compliance certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.02(a) of the USI
25
Credit Agreement) notify the Collateral Trustees and the Representatives and
shall take such actions, at its expense, as such Pledgor or the Required
Representatives deems reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances to
protect such Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without limitation,
suing for infringement or misappropriation and for an injunction against such
infringement or misappropriation.
(d) Each Pledgor shall use proper statutory notice in connection with
its use of each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral, other than any
Immaterial IP Collateral. No Pledgor shall do or permit any act or knowingly
omit to do any act whereby any of its Intellectual Property Collateral, other
than any Immaterial IP Collateral, may lapse or become invalid or unenforceable
or placed in the public domain.
(e) Each Pledgor shall take all steps which it or the Collateral
Trustees or the Required Representatives deem reasonable and appropriate under
the circumstances to preserve and protect each item of its Intellectual
Property Collateral, other than any Immaterial IP Collateral, including,
without limitation, maintaining the quality of any and all products or services
used or provided in connection with any of the Trademarks, consistent with the
quality of the products and services as of the date hereof, and taking all
steps necessary to ensure that all licensed users of any of the Trademarks use
such consistent standards of quality.
(f) With respect to its Intellectual Property Collateral, each
Pledgor agrees to execute or otherwise authenticate an agreement, in
substantially the form set forth in Exhibit D hereto (an "Intellectual Property
Security Agreement"), for recording the security interest granted hereunder to
the Collateral Trustees in such Intellectual Property Collateral with the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other
governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder
in such Intellectual Property Collateral.
(g) Each Pledgor agrees that, should it obtain an ownership interest
in any item of the type set forth in Section 1(f) which is not on the date
hereof a part of the Intellectual Property Collateral (the "After-Acquired
Intellectual Property"), (i) the provisions of Section 1 shall automatically
apply thereto, (ii) any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property and, in the
case of trademarks, the goodwill of the business connected therewith or
symbolized thereby shall automatically become part of the Intellectual Property
Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect
thereto, (iii) such Pledgor shall give prompt (and, in any case, on or prior to
the date of the next quarterly compliance certificate delivered pursuant to
Section 7.02(a) of the USI Credit Agreement) written notice thereof to the
Collateral Trustees in accordance herewith and (iv) such Pledgor shall execute
and deliver to the Collateral Trustees, or otherwise authenticate, an IP
Security Agreement Supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit E hereto
covering such After-Acquired Intellectual Property as "Additional Collateral"
thereunder and as defined therein, and shall record such IP Security Agreement
Supplement with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office
and any other governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security
interest hereunder in such After-Acquired Intellectual Property.
Section 15. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc. (a) So long as no
Actionable Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
26
(i) Each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and
other consensual rights pertaining to any Security Collateral of such
Pledgor for any purpose; provided, however, that such Pledgor will not
exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if such action would
have a material adverse effect on the value of such Security Collateral.
(ii) Each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all
dividends, interest and other distributions paid in respect of the
Security Collateral of such Pledgor if and to the extent that the payment
thereof is not otherwise prohibited by the terms of the Secured
Agreements; provided, however, that any and all dividends, interest and
other distributions paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and
instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise
distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Security Collateral
shall be, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Trustees to
hold as, Security Collateral and shall, if received by such Pledgor, be
received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Trustees, be
segregated from the other property or funds of such Pledgor and be
forthwith delivered to the Collateral Trustees as Security Collateral in
the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
(iii) The Collateral Trustees will execute and deliver (or cause to
be executed and delivered) to each Pledgor all such proxies and other
instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of
enabling such Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights that it is
entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above and to receive the
dividends or interest payments that it is authorized to receive and retain
pursuant to paragraph (ii) above.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Actionable
Default:
(i) All rights of each Pledgor (x) to exercise or refrain from
exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise
be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 15(a)(i) shall, upon notice to
such Pledgor by the Collateral Trustees, cease and (y) to receive the
dividends, interest and other distributions that it would otherwise be
authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 15(a)(ii) shall
automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in
the Collateral Trustees, which shall thereupon have the sole right to
exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual
rights and to receive and hold as Security Collateral such dividends,
interest and other distributions.
(ii) All dividends, interest and other distributions that are
received by any Pledgor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (i) of
this Section 15(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the
Collateral Trustees, shall be segregated from other funds of such Pledgor
and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Trustees as Security
Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary
indorsement).
(iii) The Collateral Trustees shall be authorized to send to each
Securities Intermediary as defined in and under any Control Agreement a
Notice of Exclusive Control as defined in and under such Control
Agreement.
27
Section 16. Transfers and Other Liens; Additional Shares. (a) Each
Pledgor agrees that it will not (i) sell, assign or otherwise dispose of, or
grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, other than sales,
assignments and other dispositions of Collateral, and options relating to
Collateral, permitted under the terms of the Secured Agreements, or (ii) create
or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral of
such Pledgor, except for the pledge, assignment and security interest created
under this Agreement and Liens permitted under the Secured Agreements.
(b) Each Pledgor agrees that it will (i) cause each issuer of the
Pledged Shares pledged by such Pledgor not to issue any stock or other
securities in addition to or in substitution for the Pledged Shares issued by

upon its acquisition (directly or indirectly) thereof, any and all additional
shares of stock or other securities of each issuer of the Pledged Shares.

Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Trustees such Pledgor's
attorneys-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor
and in the name of such Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Actionable Default, in the
Collateral Trustees' discretion, to take any action and to execute any
instrument that the Collateral Trustees may deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation:
(a) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the

for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce
compliance with the terms and conditions of any Related Contract or the

Section 18. Collateral Trustees May Perform. If any Pledgor fails to
perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Trustees may, but
without any obligation to do so and without notice, itself perform, or cause
performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Trustees
incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrowers under
Section 21(b).
Section 19. Collateral Trustees' Duties. The powers conferred on the
Collateral Trustees hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Holders'
interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise
any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its
possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the
28
Collateral Trustees shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining
or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities,
tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any Secured
Holder has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking
of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other
rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Trustees shall be deemed to
have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any
Collateral in their possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially equal to that which they accord their own property.
Section 20. Remedies. If any Actionable Default shall have occurred
and be continuing:
(a) The Collateral Trustees may exercise in respect of the
Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein
or otherwise available to them, all the rights and remedies of a secured
party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the
affected Collateral) and also may: (i) require each Pledgor to, and each
Pledgor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the
Collateral Trustees forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as
directed by the Collateral Trustees and make it available to the
Collateral Trustees at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral
Trustees that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) without
notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof
in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral
Trustees' offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future
delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Trustees may deem
commercially reasonable; (iii) occupy any premises owned or leased by any
of the Pledgors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or
located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and
remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Pledgor in
respect of such occupation; and (iv) exercise any and all rights and
remedies of any of the Pledgors under or in connection with the Collateral
or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation,
(A) any and all rights of such Pledgor to demand or otherwise require

Account Collateral and (C) exercise all other rights and remedies with
respect to the Receivables, Related Contracts and the other Collateral,

UCC. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be
required by law, at least ten days' notice to such Pledgor of the time and
place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be
made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Trustees
shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice
of sale having been given. The Collateral Trustees may adjourn any public
or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place
fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the
time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Collateral Trustees shall
exercise such rights and remedies in accordance with and subject to the
terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement.
(b) Any cash held by or on behalf of the Collateral Trustees and all
cash proceeds received by or on behalf of the Collateral Trustees in
respect of any sale of,
29
collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the
Collateral may be deposited to the Collateral Account and disbursed
pursuant to the Collateral Trust Agreement.
(c) All payments received by any Pledgor under or in connection with
any Receivables or Related Contracts or otherwise in respect of the
Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral
Trustees, shall be segregated from other funds of such Pledgor and shall
be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Trustees in the same form as so
received (with any necessary indorsement).
(d) The Collateral Trustees may, without notice to any Pledgor,
except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge,
set off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations
against any funds held in the Collateral Account or in any other
Controlled Deposit Account or Other Deposit Account related thereto.
(e) In the event of any sale or other disposition of any of the
Intellectual Property Collateral of any Pledgor, the goodwill of the
business connected with, and symbolized by, any Trademarks subject to such
sale or other disposition shall be included therein, and such Pledgor
shall supply to the Collateral Trustees or its designee such Pledgor's
know-how and expertise, and documents and things relating to any
Intellectual Property Collateral subject to such sale or other
disposition, and such Pledgor's customer lists and other records and
documents relating to such Intellectual Property Collateral and to the
manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products and services
of such Pledgor.
Section 21. Indemnity and Expenses. (a) Each Borrower agrees to
indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Collateral Trustee, each
Representative and each Secured Holder and each of their Affiliates and their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an
"Indemnified Party") from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all
claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or
asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of
or in connection with or resulting from this Agreement (including, without
limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent such claim,
damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment
by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified
Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(b) Each Borrower will upon demand pay to each Collateral Trustee the
amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that
such Collateral Trustee may incur in connection with (i) the administration of
this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the
sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral of
such Pledgor, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of such
Collateral Trustee, any Representative or any Secured Holder hereunder or (iv)
the failure by such Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
30
Section 22. Amendments; Waivers; Additional Pledgors; Etc. (a) No
amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any
departure by any Pledgor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be in writing and signed by the Collateral Trustees, and then such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the Collateral
Trustees or any other Secured Holder to exercise and no delay in exercising any
right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right.
(b) Upon the execution and delivery (or authentication and delivery)
by any Person of a security agreement supplement in substantially the form of
Exhibit H to the Master Agreement (each, a "Security Agreement Supplement"),
(i) such Person shall be referred to as an "Additional Pledgor" and shall be
and become a Pledgor hereunder and each reference in this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents to "Pledgor" shall also mean and be a reference to such
Additional Pledgor, and (ii) the supplemental schedules I, II, III, IV, V, VI,
and VII attached to each Security Agreement Supplement shall be incorporated
into and become a part of and supplement Schedules I, II, III, IV, V, VI, and
VII, respectively, hereto, and the Collateral Trustees may attach such
supplemental schedules to such Schedules; and each reference to such Schedules
shall mean and be a reference to such Schedules as supplemented pursuant to
each Security Agreement Supplement.
Section 23. Notices; Etc. All notices and other communications
provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telegraphic, telecopier
or telex communication) and mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, telexed or
delivered as provided in the Collateral Trust Agreement.
Section 24. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments Under the
Credit Agreements. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest
in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until released
as provided in Section 8.02 of the Collateral Trust Agreement, (b) be binding
upon each Pledgor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure, together with the
rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustees hereunder, to the Equal and
Ratable Benefit of the Secured Holders and their respective successors,
transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
clause (c), any Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any
portion of its rights and obligations under each of the Credit Agreements
(including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments, the

irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Borrower or whether

rights of the Collateral Trustees, the Representatives and the other Secured
Holders and the pledge, assignment and security interest hereunder, and all
obligations of each such Pledgor hereunder, shall be irrevocable, absolute and
unconditional irrespective of, and each such Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives

or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any
other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations of any Borrower under
or in respect of the Secured Agreements or any other amendment or waiver
of or any consent to any departure from any Secured Agreement, including,
without limitation, any increase in the Secured Obligations resulting from
the extension of additional credit to any Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or otherwise;
(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral
or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of
or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured
Obligations;
(d) any manner of application of any Collateral or any other
collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Secured Obligations,
or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other
collateral for all or any of the Secured Obligations under or in respect
of the Secured Agreements or any other assets of any Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries;
(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate
structure or existence of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;
(f) any failure of any Secured Holder or any Representative to
disclose to any Pledgor any information relating to the business,
condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, assets,
nature of assets, liabilities or prospects of any other Pledgor now or
hereafter known to such Secured Holder or such Representative (each
Pledgor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Holders or any
Representative to disclose such information);
(g) the failure of any other Person to execute this Agreement or any
other Collateral Document, guaranty or agreement or the release or
reduction of liability of any Pledgor with respect to the Secured
Obligations; or
(h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any
statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any
representation by any Secured Holder that might otherwise constitute a
defense available to, or a discharge of, such Pledgor or any other Pledgor
or a third party pledgor of a security interest.
32
This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may
be, if at any time any payment of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded
or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Holder or by any other Person upon
the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, all
as though such payment had not been made.

in any number of 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. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this
Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of an original executed
counterpart of this Agreement.

hereunder is also subject to a valid and enforceable Lien under the terms of
any mortgage and the terms of such mortgage are inconsistent with the terms of
this Agreement, then with respect to such Collateral, the terms of such
mortgage shall be controlling in the case of fixtures and real estate leases,
letting and licenses of, and contracts and agreements relating to the lease of,
real property, and the terms of this Agreement shall be controlling in the case
of all other Collateral.
