SECTION 2. GUARANTEE
2.1 Guarantee.
(a) Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably,
guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and their
respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and
performance by the Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise)
of the Borrower Obligations (collectively, the “Guarantor Obligations”).
(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
contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative
Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder.
(d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect
until all the Borrower Obligations (other than inchoate Indemnity obligations) and the obligations
of each Guarantor
under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 (other than inchoate Indemnity
obligations) shall have been satisfied by payment in full, no Letter of Credit shall be
outstanding, and the Commitments shall be terminated (the “Discharge of Obligations”),
notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrower may be
free from any Borrower 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 other Secured Party from the
Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or
4
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 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 made by such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations or
any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Borrower Obligations),
remain liable for the Borrower Obligations after giving effect to such payment up to the maximum
liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Discharge of Obligations.
2.2 Right of Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent
that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made
hereunder, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and
against any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of 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 other Secured Parties, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative
Agent and the other Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor
hereunder.
2.3 No Subrogation. No Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights
of the Administrative Agent or any other 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
other 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, in each case, until the Discharge of
Obligations. 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 (other than inchoate
Indemnity obligations), such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Administrative
Agent and the other 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 in such order as set forth in Section 6.5 hereof irrespective of
the occurrence or the continuance of any Event of Default.
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 made by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may be
rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party and any of the Borrower Obligations
continued, and the Borrower 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 other 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 agree with the Borrower from time to time, and any collateral
security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any other
Secured Party for the payment of the Borrower Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived,
surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other 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 for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any
property subject thereto.
5
2.5 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the
creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Borrower Obligations and notice of or proof
of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any other 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 other 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 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. 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 (a) 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 other 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 the Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative
Agent or any other Secured Party, or (c) 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 other 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 other 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 other Secured Party against any Guarantor. 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 is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or
any other 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.
2.7 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to
the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars at the Revolving Loan Funding
Office.
6
SECTION 3. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST
Each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured
Parties, a security interest in, all of the following property now owned or at any time hereafter
acquired by such Grantor or in which such Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire
any right, title or interest (collectively, the “Collateral”), as collateral security for
the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) of such Grantor’s Obligations:
(a) all Accounts;
(b) all Chattel Paper;
(c) all Deposit Accounts;
(d) all Documents;
(e) all Equipment;
(f) all Fixtures;
(g) all General Intangibles;
(h) all Goods;
(i) all Instruments;
(j) all Intellectual Property;
(k) all Inventory;
(l) all Investment Property;
(m) all Letter-of-Credit Rights;
(n) all other property not otherwise described above;
(o) all books and records pertaining to the Collateral; and
(p) to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds, Supporting Obligations and products of
any and all of the foregoing and all collateral security and guarantees given by any Person with
respect to any of the foregoing;
provided, however, that notwithstanding any of the other provisions set forth
in this Section 3, (x) this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest
in any property to the extent that such grant of a security interest is prohibited by any
Requirement of Law of a Governmental Authority or constitutes a breach or default under or results
in the termination of or requires any consent not obtained under, any contract, license, agreement,
instrument or other document evidencing or giving rise to such property, except (i) to the extent
that the terms in such contract, license, instrument or other document providing for such
prohibition, breach, default or termination, or requiring such consent are not permitted under
Section 7.13 of the Credit Agreement or (ii) to the extent that such Requirement of Law or
the term in such contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document providing for such
7
prohibition, breach, default or termination or requiring such consent is ineffective under Section
9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the New York UCC (or any successor provision or provisions) of any
relevant jurisdiction or any other applicable law (including the Bankruptcy Code) or principles of
equity; provided, however, that such security interest shall attach immediately at
such time as such Requirement of Law is not effective or applicable, or such prohibition, breach,
default or termination is no longer applicable or is waived, and to the extent severable, shall
attach immediately to any portion of the Collateral that does not result in such consequences; (y)
no United States intent-to-use trademark or service xxxx application shall be included in the
Collateral to the extent that, and solely during the period in which, the grant of a security
interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of such intent-to-use trademark or
service xxxx application under Federal law; provided, however, after such period,
each Grantor acknowledges that such interest in such trademark or service xxxx application shall be
subject to a security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent and shall be included in the
Collateral; and (z) no Grantor shall be required at any time to pledge hereunder more than 65% of
the total outstanding Excluded Foreign Subsidiary Voting Stock of any of its Excluded Foreign
Subsidiaries.
SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to
induce the Lenders to make their respective extensions of credit to the Borrower thereunder, each
Grantor hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party
that:
4.1 Title; No Other Liens. Except for the Liens permitted to exist on the Collateral by
the Credit Agreement, such Grantor owns each item of the Collateral free and clear of any and all
Liens or claims of others. No financing statement, fixture filing or other public notice with
respect to all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record or will be filed in any public
office, except such as have been filed as permitted by the Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of
doubt, it is understood and agreed that any Grantor may, as part of its business, grant licenses to
third parties to use Intellectual Property owned or developed by a Grantor. For purposes of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such licensing activity shall not constitute a “Lien” on
such Intellectual Property. The Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party understands that
any such licenses may be exclusive to the applicable licensees, and such exclusivity provisions may
limit the ability of the Administrative Agent to utilize, sell, lease or transfer the related
Intellectual Property or otherwise realize value from such Intellectual Property pursuant hereto.
4.2 Perfected Liens. The security interests granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement (i)
upon completion of the filings and other actions specified on Schedule 3 (which, in the
case of all filings and other documents referred to on said Schedule, have been delivered to the
Administrative Agent in completed and duly (if applicable) executed form), or upon the
Administrative Agent’s obtaining control (within the meanings of Section 8-106, 9-104, and 9-106 of
the UCC) over certain Collateral, will constitute valid perfected security interests in all of the
Collateral (to the extent that such security interests can be perfected by filing or through
“control” under the UCC) in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the
Secured Parties, as collateral security for such Grantor’s Obligations, enforceable in accordance
with the terms hereof against all creditors of such Grantor and any Persons purporting to purchase
any Collateral from such Grantor and (ii) are prior to all other Liens on the Collateral in
existence on the date hereof except for unrecorded Liens permitted by the Credit Agreement which
have priority over the Liens on the Collateral by operation of law, and in the case of Collateral
other than Pledged Stock and Pledged Notes, Liens permitted by Section 7.3 of the Credit
Agreement. Each Grantor has the right to remove the Fixtures in which such Grantor has an interest
within the meaning of Section 9-334(f)(2) of the New York UCC.
8
4.3 Jurisdiction of Organization; Chief Executive Office. On the date hereof, such
Grantor’s jurisdiction of organization, identification number from the jurisdiction of organization
(if any), and the location of such Grantor’s chief executive office or sole place of business, as
the case may be, are specified on Schedule 4.
4.4 Inventory and Equipment. On the date hereof (a) the Inventory and (b) the Equipment
(other than mobile goods) are kept at the locations listed on Schedule 5.
4.5 Farm Products. None of the Collateral constitutes, or is the Proceeds of, Farm
Products.
4.6 Investment Property. (a) The shares of Pledged Stock pledged by such Grantor
hereunder constitute all the issued and outstanding shares of all classes of the Capital Stock of
each Issuer owned by such Grantor or, in the case of Foreign Subsidiary Voting Stock, if less, 65%
of the outstanding Foreign Subsidiary Voting Stock of each relevant Issuer.
(b) All the shares of the Pledged Stock of each Subsidiary of such Grantor have been duly and
validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable.
(c) Such Grantor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has title to, the Pledged Stock
and Pledged Notes pledged by it hereunder, free of any and all Liens or options in favor of, or
adverse claims of, any other Person, except the security interests created by this Agreement.
4.7 Investment Accounts. (a) Schedule 2 sets forth under the headings “Securities
Accounts” and “Commodities Accounts”, respectively, all of the Securities Accounts and Commodities
Accounts in which each Grantor has an interest. Each Grantor, as applicable, is the sole
entitlement holder of each such Securities Account and Commodities Account, and such Grantor has
not consented to, and is not otherwise aware
of, any Person (other than the Administrative Agent) having “control” (within the meanings of
Sections 8-106 and 9-106 of the UCC) over, or any other interest in, any such Securities Account or
Commodity Account or any securities or other property credited thereto;
(b) Schedule 2 sets forth under the heading “Deposit Accounts” all of the Deposit
Accounts in which each Grantor has an interest and each Grantor is the sole account holder of each
such Deposit Account and such Grantor has not consented to, and is not otherwise aware of, any
Person (other than the Administrative Agent) having either sole dominion and control (within the
meaning of common law) or “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) over, or any
other interest in, any such Deposit Account or any money or other property deposited therein; and
(c) Each Grantor has taken all actions necessary or desirable to: (i) establish the
Administrative Agent’s “control” (within the meanings of Sections 8-106 and 9-106 of the UCC) over
any Certificated Securities; (ii) establish the Administrative Agent’s “control” (within the
meanings of Sections 8-106 and 9-106 of the UCC) over any portion of the Investment Accounts
constituting Securities Accounts, Commodities Accounts, Securities Entitlements or Uncertificated

hereof.
(b) Each Grantor owns, is licensed to use, or otherwise has valid rights to use all
Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted. The use of
such Intellectual Property by each Grantor does not, to the knowledge of the Grantors, infringe on
the rights of any Person in any material respect. No material claim has been asserted and is
pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the
validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does any Grantor know of any valid
basis for any such claim.

Property is the subject of any licensing or franchise agreement pursuant to which such Grantor is
the licensor or franchisor.

would limit, cancel or question the validity of, or such Grantor’s rights in, any Intellectual
Property in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(e) No action or proceeding is pending, or, to the knowledge of such Grantor, threatened, on

Property or such Grantor’s ownership interest therein, or (ii) which, if adversely determined,
would have a material adverse effect on the value of any material Intellectual Property.

provided on the books of such Grantor.
5.4 Maintenance of Perfected Security Interest; Further Documentation. (a) Such Grantor
shall maintain the security interests of the Secured Parties created by this Agreement as perfected

benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without

days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice
to the Administrative Agent and delivery to the Administrative Agent of (a) all additional executed

(including, without limitation, any certificate representing a dividend or a distribution in
connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any certificate issued in
connection with any reorganization), option or rights in respect of the Capital Stock of any
Issuer, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any
shares of the Pledged Stock, or otherwise in respect thereof, such Grantor shall accept the same as
the agent of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, hold the same in trust for the
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and deliver the same forthwith to the
Administrative Agent in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the
Administrative Agent, if required, together with an undated stock power covering such certificate
duly executed in blank by such Grantor and with, if the Administrative Agent so requests, signature

Administrative Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the
Obligations, and in case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of the
Investment Property or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Investment
Property pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of any Issuer or
pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall, unless otherwise subject
to a perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent, be delivered to the
Administrative Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the

Issuer, (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with
respect to, the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof, (iii) create, incur or permit to exist any
Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Investment
Property or Proceeds thereof, or any interest therein, except for the security interests created by

such Grantor or the Administrative Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the Investment Property
or Proceeds thereof.

be bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Capital Stock issued by it and will comply
with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it, (ii) it will notify the Administrative
Agent promptly in writing of the occurrence of any of the events described in Section

actions that may be required of it pursuant to Section 6.3(c) or 6.7 with respect
to the Capital Stock issued by it.
5.8 Investment Accounts. With respect to any Investment Accounts consisting of Securities
Accounts or Securities Entitlements, it shall enter into and shall cause the securities
intermediary maintaining such Securities Account or Securities Entitlement to enter into an
agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
which it shall agree to comply with the Administrative Agent’s “entitlement orders” without further
consent by such Grantor. With respect to any Investment Account that is a “Deposit Account,” it
shall enter into and shall cause the depositary institution maintaining such account to enter into
an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, pursuant to
which the Administrative Agent shall have “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the
UCC) over such Deposit Account.
5.9 Receivables. Other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with its past
practice, such Grantor will not (i) grant any extension of the time of payment of any Receivable,
(ii) compromise or settle any Receivable for less than the full amount thereof, (iii) release,
wholly or partially, any Person liable for the payment of any Receivable, (iv) allow any credit or
discount whatsoever on any Receivable or (v) amend, supplement or modify any Receivable in any

(i) continue to use each material Trademark in order to maintain such material Trademark in full
force free from any claim of abandonment for non-use, (ii) maintain as in the past the quality of
products and services offered under such material Trademark, (iii) use such material Trademark with
the appropriate notice of registration and all other notices and legends required by applicable
Requirements of Law, (iv) not adopt or use any xxxx which is confusingly similar or a colorable
imitation of such material Trademark unless the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of
the Secured Parties, shall obtain a perfected security interest in such xxxx pursuant to this
Agreement, and (v) not (and not knowingly permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act
or knowingly omit to do any act whereby such Trademark may become invalidated or impaired in any
way.
(b) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not do any act, or omit to do any
act, whereby any material Patent may become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public.
(c) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not (and will not permit any
licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any such
material Copyrights may become invalidated or otherwise impaired. Such Grantor will not (either
itself or through licensees) do any act whereby any material portion of such Copyrights may fall
into the public domain.
(d) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not do any act that knowingly uses
any material Intellectual Property to infringe the intellectual property rights of any other
Person.
(e) Such Grantor will notify the Administrative Agent promptly if it knows, or has reason to
know, that any application or registration relating to any material Intellectual Property may
become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse determination or
development (including, without limitation, the institution of, or any such determination or
development in, any
13
proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States
Copyright Office or any court or tribunal in any country) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of, or
the validity of, any material Intellectual Property or such Grantor’s right to register the same or
to own and maintain the same.
(f) Whenever such Grantor, either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or
designee, shall file an application for the registration of any Intellectual Property with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office
or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, such Grantor shall report such
filing to the Administrative Agent within forty-five (45) days after the last day of the fiscal
quarter in which such filing occurs, or, in the case of registration of a copyright, not less than
fourteen (14) days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) prior
to such registration. Upon request of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall execute and
deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents, and papers as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Administrative Agent’s and the other
Secured Parties’ security interest in any Copyright, Patent or Trademark and the goodwill and
general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby.
(g) Such Grantor will take all reasonable and necessary steps, including, without limitation,
in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright
Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof,
to maintain and pursue each material application (and to obtain the relevant registration) and to
maintain each registration of the material Intellectual Property, including, without limitation,
filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use and affidavits of incontestability.
(h) In the event that any material Intellectual Property is infringed, misappropriated or
diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall take such actions as such Grantor shall reasonably
deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property.
SECTION 6. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS
Each Grantor covenants and agrees with the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties
that, from and after the date of this Agreement until the Discharge of Obligations:
6.1 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables. (a) The Administrative Agent hereby
authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables and the Administrative Agent may
curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default. If required by the Administrative Agent at any time after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any
Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) deposited by such
Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent if
required, in a Collateral Account over which the Administrative Agent has control, subject to
withdrawal by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided in
Section 6.5, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such
Grantor. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables
shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the
payments included in the deposit.
(b) At the Administrative Agent’s request, after the occurrence of an Event of Default each
Grantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and
relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables, including, without
limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.
14
6.2 Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable
(a) The Administrative Agent in
its own name or in the name of others may at any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default communicate with obligors under the Receivables to verify with
them to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables.
(b) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, at any time after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables that
the Receivables have been assigned to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the
Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Administrative
Agent.
(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under
each of the Receivables to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed
and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise
thereto. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured 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 Lender of any payment relating
thereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any other 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 enforce any performance or to
collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be
entitled at any time or times.
6.3 Investment Property. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the
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, to the extent permitted in the
Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate or other organizational rights with
respect to the Investment Property; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast
or corporate or other organizational 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 Investment Property and make application thereof to the Obligations
in such order as set
forth in Section 6.5, and (ii) any or all of the Investment Property 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
Investment Property 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 Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner
thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the
Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other
fundamental change in the corporate or other organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon the
exercise by any Grantor or the Administrative Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to
such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all
of the Investment Property 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
15
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 Stock or Pledged
Notes 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 Stock and Pledged Notes directly to the
Administrative Agent.
(d) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent
shall have the right to apply the balance from any Deposit Account, or instruct the bank at which
any Deposit Account is maintained to pay the balance of any Deposit Account to or for the benefit
of the Administrative Agent, to be applied, to the Obligations in such order as set forth in
Section 6.5.
6.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Administrative Agent. In addition to the rights of the
Administrative Agent and the other 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, Cash Equivalents and other near-cash items
shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other 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
over which it maintains control, within the meaning of the New York UCC. All Proceeds while held
by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the
Administrative Agent and the other 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. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, at any time at the Administrative Agent’s election, the Administrative Agent may apply
all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not held in any Collateral Account,
in payment of the Obligations in the following order:
(a) First, to the payment of all costs and expenses of any sale, collection or other
realization on the Collateral, including reasonable compensation to the Administrative Agent and
its agents and counsel, and reimbursement for all other costs, expenses, liabilities and advances
made or incurred by Administrative Agent in connection therewith (including as described in
Section 6.6 hereof), and all amounts for which Administrative Agent is entitled to
indemnification hereunder and all advances made by Administrative Agent hereunder for the account
of the applicable Grantor, and to the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by
Administrative Agent in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under the
Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and to the payment or reimbursement of all
indemnification obligations, fees, costs and expenses owing to the Administrative Agent hereunder
or under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, all in accordance with the terms hereof
or thereof;
(b) Second, for application by it towards all other Obligations, pro rata among the Secured
Parties according to the amounts of the Obligations then held by the Secured Parties; and
16
(c) Third, any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Discharge of Obligations shall be
paid over to or upon the order of such Grantor or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive
the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
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) 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 other 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 other 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 other Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as set
forth 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 other
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 ten (10) days
before such sale or other disposition.
6.7 Registration Rights. 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 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 any such private
sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. 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.
17
6.8 Intellectual Property License. Solely for the purpose of enabling the Administrative
Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 6 and at such time as the Administrative
Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants
to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an irrevocable, non-exclusive,
worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor),
subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor
of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of said Trademarks, to use, operate under,
license, or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Grantors.
6.9 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 other Secured
Party to collect such deficiency.
SECTION 7. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Each Grantor covenants and agrees with the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties
that:
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 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 other 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
18
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 other 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.
(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 highest rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on any category of past due ABR
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 other 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 other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s and the other
Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative
Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers.
19
The Administrative Agent and the
other 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 Authorization 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 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,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired” or any other similar collateral description 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 other 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 at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1.
8.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Administrative Agent
nor any other 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, as applicable. No
failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any
other 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 other 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 other 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.
20
8.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Guarantor agrees to pay or reimburse
the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party for all its costs and expenses incurred in
collecting against such Guarantor under the guaranty contained in Section 2 of this
Agreement 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 reasonable and
documented fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house
counsel) to the Administrative Agent and of counsel to each other Secured Party.
(b) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Administrative Agent and each other Secured
Party 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 each other Secured
Party harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, 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 the Credit Agreement.
(d) The agreements in this Section 8.4 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and
any 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 each other
Secured Party and their respective 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
other Secured Party and any Affiliate thereof at any time and from time to time after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice to such Grantor or any
other Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor, to set-off and appropriate
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), 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 or such Affiliate 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 under the other Loan Documents 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 other Secured Party has made any demand for payment and although
such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The rights of the
Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party under this Section 8.6 are in addition to
other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the
Administrative Agent or such other 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.
21
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.
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 other 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 other 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 AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER
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 to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in the
Southern District of the State of New York; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed to operate to preclude Administrative Agent or any Lender from bringing suit or
taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any
other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor
of Administrative Agent or such Lender. Each Grantor expressly submits and consents in
advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower
hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction,
improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or
equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Each Grantor hereby waives
personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit
and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by
registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the addresses set forth in Section
10.2 of the Credit Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the
earlier to occur of such Grantor’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in
the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid;
(b) TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WAIVES THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF
ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL
OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS
AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL; and
22
(c) 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 Acknowledgements. 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 other Secured Party has any fiduciary
relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the
Administrative Agent and the other 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 any of the Secured Parties or among the
Grantors and any of 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 6.11 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) Upon the Discharge of Obligations, the Collateral shall be released from
the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties created hereby, this
Agreement shall terminate with respect to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties,
and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of each Grantor
to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder shall terminate, all without
delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party. At the sole expense of any
Grantor following any such termination, the Administrative Agent shall deliver 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 Section 7 of 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, as applicable. 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 to a Person other than a Loan Party in a transaction permitted by Section 7 of the
Credit Agreement; provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative
Agent, at least ten (10) days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree), 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 Section 7 of the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
8.16 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GRANTOR AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES
