ARTICLE V
REMEDIAL PROVISIONS
SECTION 5.1 General 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 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 Applicable Law referred to
below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses,
advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect,
receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith
sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the
Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at
public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative
Agent or any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and
at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption
of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent may disclaim any warranties in connection with any
sale or other disposition of the Collateral, including, without limitation, any warranties of
title, possession, quiet enjoyment and the like. The Administrative Agent or any Secured Party
shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon
any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold. 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. To the extent permitted by Applicable
Law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative
Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder except to
the extent any such claims, damages, or demands result solely from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party, in each case against whom such claim
is asserted. 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.
15

(a) In addition to the remedies set forth in Section 5.1, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i) the Administrative Agent may communicate with Account Debtors of any Account
subject to a Security Interest and upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each
Grantor shall notify (such notice to be in form and substance satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent) its Account Debtors and parties to the Material Contracts subject to a
Security Interest that such Accounts and the Material Contracts have been assigned to the
Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties;
(ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Grantor shall forward to the
Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of each week, deposit slips related to all
cash, money, checks or any other similar items of payment received by the Grantor during

such items of payment into a cash collateral account at the Administrative Agent (the
“Collateral Account”) or in a Deposit Account (other than an Excluded Deposit
Account) at a Controlled Depositary, and until such Grantor shall deposit such cash, money,
checks or any other similar items of payment in the Collateral Account or in a Deposit
Account (other than an Excluded Deposit Account) at a Controlled Depositary, such Grantor

Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and as property of the Administrative Agent and
the Secured Parties, separate from the other funds of such Grantor, and the Administrative
Agent shall have the right to transfer or direct the transfer of the balance of each Deposit

security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as
provided in Section 5.4;

dividends, payments or distributions made in respect of any Investment Property or
Partnership/LLC Interests or other Proceeds paid in respect of any Investment Property or
Partnership/LLC Interests, and any or all of any Investment Property or Partnership/LLC
Interests may, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, be
registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee, and the Administrative
Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (A) all voting, corporate and other rights
pertaining to such Investment Property or Partnership/LLC Interests at any meeting of
shareholders, partners or members of the relevant Issuers and (B) any and all rights of
conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining

thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all
of the Investment Property or Partnership/LLC Interests upon the merger, consolidation,
reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate, partnership
or limited liability company 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 or Partnership/LLC Interests, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and
deliver any and all of the Investment Property or Partnership/LLC Interests with any
committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms
and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability except to
account for
property actually received by it; but the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to
any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and the Administrative Agent and
the Secured Parties shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.
In furtherance thereof, each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer with
respect to any Collateral consisting of Investment Property and Partnership/LLC Interests,
except as otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends, distributions or other
payments with respect to any Investment Property or Partnership/LLC Interests directly to
the Administrative Agent;
16
(vi) the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall,
file with the applicable Governmental Authority Assignment Documents delivered pursuant
hereto with respect to any or all of the Material Government Contracts of the Grantors.
After any such filing, the Grantors shall take all action legally necessary to maintain such
filings and to make filings with respect to any additional Material Government Contracts;
provided, that no Assignment Documents shall be filed except in accordance with this
clause (vi);
(vii) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to make test verifications of the
Accounts in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and
each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Administrative Agent
may require in connection with such test verifications and upon the Administrative Agent’s
request and at the expense of the relevant Grantor, such Grantor shall cause independent
public accountants or others satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to furnish to the
Administrative Agent reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and
trial balances for, the Accounts; and
(viii) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to do all acts which the
Administrative Agent may deem necessary or proper to protect its Security Interest granted
hereunder, provided such acts are not inconsistent with or in violation of the terms of any
of the Credit Agreement, of the other Loan Documents or Applicable Law.
(b) 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 5.2(a), each Grantor shall be
permitted to receive all cash dividends, payments or other distributions made in respect of any
Investment Property and any Partnership/LLC Interests, in each case paid in the normal course of
business of the relevant Issuer and consistent with past practice, to the extent permitted in the
Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and other corporate, company and partnership rights
with respect to any Investment Property and Partnership/LLC Interests.
SECTION 5.3 Registration Rights.
(a) If the Administrative Agent shall determine that in order to exercise its right to sell
any or all of the Collateral it is necessary or advisable to have such Collateral registered under
the provisions of the Securities Act (any such Collateral, the “Restricted Securities
Collateral”), the relevant Grantor will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each
applicable Issuer (and the officers and directors thereof) to (i) execute and deliver all such
instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion
of the Administrative Agent, necessary or advisable to register such Restricted Securities
Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii)
cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a
period of one year from the date of the first public offering of such Restricted Securities
Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the
related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, are necessary or advisable,
all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange
Commission applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause each applicable Issuer (and the officers and directors thereof) to comply with the provisions
of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Administrative Agent
shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings
statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of the Securities Act.
17
(b) Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public
sale of any or all the Restricted Securities Collateral, 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 Restricted Securities Collateral
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.
(c) Each Grantor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done
all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the
Restricted Securities Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other
Applicable Laws. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in
this Section 5.3 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the Secured
Parties, that the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in
respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this
Section 5.3 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby
waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such
covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 5.4 Application of Proceeds. Any amounts received by the Administrative Agent
from the exercise of remedies against the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2
shall be applied in payment of the Obligations (after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses
of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of
the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent
and the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements) in accordance with Section 12.4 of the Credit Agreement. Only after (a) the
payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of Applicable
Law, including, without limitation, Section 9-610 and Section 9-615 of the UCC and (b) the payment
in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, shall the
Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor, or to whomever may be
lawfully entitled to receive the same (if such Person is not a Grantor).
SECTION 5.5 Waiver, Deficiency. Each Grantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted
by Applicable Law, all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium
now or hereafter in force under any Applicable Law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of
this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof. Each Grantor shall
remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral
are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by
the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

ARTICLE VI
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
SECTION 6.1 Appointment of Administrative Agent as Attorney-In-Fact.
(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any
officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, effective upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, 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 upon the occurrence and
during the continuation of an Event of Default:
(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 Account or Material Contract subject to a Security Interest
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
Account or Material Contract subject to a Security Interest or with respect to any other
Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded,
any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Administrative Agent may
request to evidence the Administrative Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ security interest in
such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and General Intangibles of such Grantor relating
thereto or represented thereby;
(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the
Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement
and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;
(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in this Agreement, any
endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the
Collateral; and
(v) (A) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make
payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative
Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; (B) 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; (C) 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; (D) 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; (E) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with
respect to any Collateral; (F) 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; (G) license or assign any Copyright, Patent or
Trademark (along
with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark
pertains), for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the
Administrative Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (H) 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 was 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 Security
Interests of the Secured Parties therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as
fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
19
(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 in accordance with the provisions of
Section 6.1(a).
(c) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done
by virtue hereof in accordance with Section 6.1(a). 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.
SECTION 6.2 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 UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the
Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Administrative
Agent, any Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall
be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in
doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the
request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to
the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent and the
Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Administrative Agent and the
Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or
any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties
shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of
such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be
responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
SECTION 6.3 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
Lenders, 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.
20

addresses and otherwise made in accordance with Section 14.1 of the Credit Agreement;
provided that notices and communications to the Grantors shall be directed to the Grantors,
at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 14.1 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 7.2 Amendments, Waivers and Consents. None of the terms, covenants,
agreements or conditions of this Agreement may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified nor
may they be waived or any consent be given, except in accordance with Section 14.2 of the
Credit Agreement.
SECTION 7.3 Expenses, Indemnification, Waiver of Consequential Damages, etc.

Administrative Agent and each Secured Party to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so

(b) The Grantors, jointly and severally, shall pay and shall indemnify each Indemnitee (which
for purposes of this Agreement shall include, without limitation, all Secured Parties) against
Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to
Section 5.11 of the Credit Agreement.
(c) The Grantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each Indemnitee to the extent the
Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 14.3 of the Credit Agreement.

extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Grantor shall assert, and each Grantor hereby waives, any
claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as
a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Extension of Credit or the use of
the proceeds thereof.
(e) No Indemnitee referred to in this Section 7.3 shall be liable for any damages

(f) All amounts due under this Section 7.3 shall be payable promptly after demand

21
SECTION 7.4 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Service of Process.
(a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the laws of the State of New York.
(b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Grantor irrevocably and unconditionally submits,
for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of
the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York and of the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court thereof, in
any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
or for recognition or enforcement of
any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all
claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York
State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, in such Federal court. Each of
the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall affect any
right that the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Grantor or its
properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) Waiver of Venue. Each Grantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the
laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defense of
an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process
in the manner provided for notices in Section 14.1 of the Credit Agreement. Nothing in
this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner
permitted by Applicable Law.
(e) Appointment of the Borrower as Agent for the Grantors. Each Grantor hereby
irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Borrower to act as its agent for service of process and
notices required to be delivered under this Agreement or under the other Loan Documents, it being
understood and agreed that receipt by the Borrower of any summons, notice or other similar item
shall be deemed effective receipt by each Grantor and its Subsidiaries.
SECTION 7.5 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY
OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE
EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE
OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
SECTION 7.6 Injunctive Relief; Punitive Damages.
(a) Each Grantor recognizes that, in the event such Grantor fails to perform, observe or
discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Administrative Agent and the Secured
Parties. Therefore, each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, at
the option of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, shall be entitled to temporary and
permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.
(b) The Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties and each Grantor hereby agree that no such
Person shall have a remedy of punitive or exemplary damages against any other party to a Loan
Document and each such Person hereby waives any right or claim to punitive or exemplary damages
that
they may now have or may arise in the future in connection with any dispute, whether such
dispute is resolved through arbitration or judicially.
22
SECTION 7.7 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument
pursuant to Section 7.2), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived
any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No delay
or failure to take action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by
the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion
shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such
Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The enumeration of the rights and
remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties set forth in this Agreement is not
intended to be exhaustive and the exercise by the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties of
any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which
shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or under
the other Loan Documents or that may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity or by suit or
otherwise.
SECTION 7.8 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding
upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns; provided, that no Grantor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders (except as otherwise provided by the Credit Agreement).
SECTION 7.9 Survival of Indemnities. Notwithstanding any termination of this
Agreement, the indemnities to which the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties are entitled
under the provisions of Section 7.3 and any other provision of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent
and the Secured Parties against events arising after such termination as well as before.
SECTION 7.10 Titles and Captions. Titles and captions of Articles, Sections and
subsections in, and the table of contents of, this Agreement are for convenience only, and neither
limit nor amplify the provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 7.11 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity
or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 7.12 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed
in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall
become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the
Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery
of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
23
SECTION 7.13 Advice of Counsel; No Strict Construction. Each of the parties
represents to each other party hereto that it has discussed this Agreement with its counsel. The
parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the
event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be
construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall
arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this
Agreement.
SECTION 7.14 Acknowledgements. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that (i) 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, (ii) it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and has
reviewed and understands same, (iii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party has any
fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one
hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection
herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and (iv) no joint venture is created
hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby among the Secured Parties or among the Grantors and the Secured
Parties.
SECTION 7.15 Releases.
(a) At such time as the Obligations (other than (a) contingent indemnification obligations not
yet due and (b) the Specified Obligations) shall have been paid in full in cash and the Revolving
Credit Commitments have been terminated, (i) the Collateral shall be released from the Liens
created hereby, and (ii) this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to
survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate,
all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to
the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. At the request and sole expense of any Grantor
following any such termination, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Grantor any
Collateral held by the Administrative Agent hereunder, and execute and deliver to such Grantor all
releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable to evidence the release of the Liens
created hereby on such Collateral.
(b) (i) Upon the designation of GLS as the Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to Section
9.19 of the Credit Agreement or (ii) if any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or
otherwise disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, subject to
the proviso set forth below, such Collateral owned by GLS prior to such designation or such other
Collateral subject to such sale, transfer or other disposition shall, in each case, be
automatically released from the Liens created hereby and 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 to evidence the release of the Liens created hereby on
such Collateral. In the event that all the Capital Stock of any Grantor that is a Subsidiary of
the Borrower shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by the
Credit Agreement, then, at the request of the Borrower and at the expense of the Grantors, such
Grantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder; provided that the Borrower shall
have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of
the proposed release (or such shorter time as may be agreeable to the Administrative Agent), a
written request for release identifying the relevant Grantor and a description of the sale or other
disposition in reasonable detail, together with a certification by the Borrower stating that such
transaction is in compliance with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
24
SECTION 7.16 Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of Holdings that is required to
become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.11 of the Credit Agreement shall
become a Grantor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary
of a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 7.17 All Powers Coupled With Interest. All powers of attorney and other
authorizations granted to the Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent and any Persons designated
by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable
so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied, any of the Revolving Credit
Commitments remain in effect or the Credit Facility has not been terminated.
SECTION 7.18 Secured Parties. Each Secured Party not a party to the Credit Agreement
who obtains the benefit of this Agreement shall be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the
appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, and that
with respect to the actions and omissions of the Administrative Agent hereunder or otherwise
relating hereto that do or may affect such Secured Party, the Administrative Agent and each of its
Affiliates shall be entitled to all the rights, benefits and immunities conferred under Article
XIII of the Credit Agreement.
