(b) The Collateral Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables, and the Collateral Agent may pursuant to a written notice to the Company curtail or terminate said authority at any time when a Notice of Acceleration is in effect.

5.2 Communications with Grantors; Grantors Remain Liable. iii) The Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time while a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, following written notice to the Company, communicate with obligors under the Receivables to verify with them to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables.

(a) Following the written request of the Collateral Agent while a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables owned by such Grantor that such Receivables have been assigned to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof are required to be made directly to the Collateral Agent.

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables (or any agreement giving rise thereto) to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto.

5.3 Pledged Stock and Pledged Notes. iv) Unless a Notice of Acceleration is in effect and the Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor and the Company of the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 5.3(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of any Investment Property, including the Pledged Stock, and, subject to the terms and conditions of the Secured Instruments, all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, and to exercise all voting and corporate or other organizational rights with respect to the Pledged Stock and Pledged Notes.

(a) If a Notice of Acceleration is in effect and the Collateral Agent shall have given notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors and the Company, (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of any Investment Property, including the Pledged Stock and the Pledged Notes, and make application thereof to the Secured Obligations in such order as is set forth in the Collateral Agency Agreement, and (ii) any or all of the Pledged Stock and the Pledged Notes shall be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee, and the Collateral Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Stock or Pledged Notes at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Stock and Pledged Notes as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Stock and Pledged Notes 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 Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Stock or Pledged Notes, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Stock or the Pledged Notes with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all, subject to any Applicable Laws, without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or

option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

(b) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged Stock or Pledged Notes pledged by such Grantor hereunder to comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (i) states that a Notice of Acceleration is in effect and (ii) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from, or the consent of, such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying.

5.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Collateral Agent. In addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties specified in Section 5.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, cash equivalents, checks and Instruments shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor be turned over to the Collateral Agent to be deposited in the Collateral Account in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in the Collateral Account in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Agency Agreement. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in the Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.5.

5.5 Application of Proceeds. If a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, the Collateral Agent shall apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not held in the Collateral Account, in payment of the Secured Obligations at the times and in the manner provided in the Collateral Agency Agreement.

5.6 Code and Other Remedies. If a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, the Collateral 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 Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other Applicable Laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice referred to below or otherwise 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 to the extent not prohibited by law), may in such circumstances forthwith, without notice to the Company and the relevant Grantor, 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 Collateral Agent 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 Collateral Agent 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 bid for or 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 to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Laws, and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Secured Parties by such Grantor as a credit against the purchase price (pursuant to procedures established by the Collateral Agent), and the Collateral Agent may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.6, 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 Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order provided for in the Collateral Agency Agreement, and, subject to any Applicable Laws, only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

5.7 Registration Rights. v) If the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant to Section 5.6 at any time when a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, and if in the opinion of the Collateral Agent or the Applicable Directing Parties (with notice to the Collateral Agent) it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to 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 Collateral Agent, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of two years from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, are necessary, 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 cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Collateral Agent shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be

audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

(a) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

(b) Each Grantor agrees to use 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 Pledged Stock pursuant to this Section 5.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 5.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, that the Collateral 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 5.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees (to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Laws) not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Notice of Acceleration is in effect.

5.8 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Secured Obligations and the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.

5.9 Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise the rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent assignable, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, subject to, in the case of Trademarks, rights of quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

SECTION 6. THE COLLATERAL AGENT

6.1 Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. vi) Each Grantor appoints the Collateral 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 while a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, 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 while a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, with notice to such Grantor, to do any or all of the following while a Notice of Acceleration is in effect:

(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 Contract 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 Collateral 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 Collateral Agent may request to evidence the Collateral 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 therefore and the costs thereof;

(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.6 or 5.7, 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 Collateral Agent or as the Collateral 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 Collateral 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 Collateral 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 Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

(b) So long as a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, if any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, 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 past due Revolving Loans under the Revolving Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand.

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys-in-fact 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.

6.2 Duty of Collateral Agent. Subject to any Applicable Laws, the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral 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.

6.3 Authorization of Financing Statements. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent and any Primary Holder Representative on behalf of the Collateral Agent, to file or record financing statements (with

notice to the Collateral Agent and the other Primary Holder Representatives) and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent or such Primary Holder Representative, as the case may be, determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent or such Primary Holder Representative, as the case may be, to use the collateral description “all personal property” or words of similar effect in any such financing statements.

6.4 Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Collateral Agency Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral 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 7. GUARANTEE

The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantee to each of the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby further jointly and severally agree that if the Company shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated or extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Secured Obligations, the Subsidiary Guarantors will jointly and severally pay the same without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Secured Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

7.2 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under Section 7.1 are irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, the other Secured Instruments or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Secured Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 7 that the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances other than a defense of final payment in full of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder, which shall remain absolute

and unconditional as described above:

(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Subsidiary Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Secured Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement, the other Secured Instruments or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

(c) the maturity of any of the Secured Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Secured Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement, the other Secured Instruments or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Secured Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; or

(d) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, any Secured Party as security for any of the Secured Obligations shall fail to be perfected.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Company under this Agreement, the other Secured Instruments or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Secured Obligations.

7.3 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Section 7 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Company in respect of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Secured Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify the Secured Parties on demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket fees and other charges of counsel) incurred by the Secured Parties in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

7.4 Subrogation. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), and the expiration and termination of all letters of credit or commitments to extend credit under all Secured Instruments, they shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by them of their guarantee in Section 7.1, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Company or any other guarantor of any of the

Secured Obligations or any security for any of the Secured Obligations.

7.5 Remedies. The Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Secured Parties, a Secured Obligation may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in the respective Secured Instrument therefor including, in the case of the Credit Agreements, Article VII thereof (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided therein including, in the case of the Credit Agreements, such Article VII) for purposes of Section 7.1 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantors and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Company) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for purposes of Section 7.1.

7.6 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Section 7 is a continuing guarantee of payment (and not of collection), and shall apply to all Secured Obligations whenever arising.

7.7 Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 7 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Secured Party, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Subsidiary Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring motion action under New York CPLR Section 3213.

7.8 Rights of Contribution. The Grantors hereby agree, as between themselves, that if any Subsidiary Guarantor shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as defined below) by reason of the payment by such Subsidiary Guarantor of any Secured Obligations, then each other Subsidiary Guarantor shall, on demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Secured Obligations. The payment obligation of a Subsidiary Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this Section 7.8 shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the other provisions of this Section 7 and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all of such obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations).

For purposes of this Section 7.8, (i) “Excess Funding Guarantor” means, in respect of any Secured Obligations, a Subsidiary Guarantor that has paid an amount in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Secured Obligations, (ii) “Excess Payment” means, in respect of any Secured Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Secured Obligations and (iii) “Pro Rata Share” means, for any Subsidiary Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the aggregate fair

saleable value of all properties of such Subsidiary Guarantor (excluding any Equity Interests of any other Subsidiary Guarantor) exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and any obligations of any other Subsidiary Guarantor that have been Guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of the Company and all of the Subsidiary Guarantors exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Grantors hereunder) of the Company and all of the Subsidiary Guarantors, determined (A) with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a party hereto on the date hereof, as of the date hereof, and (B) with respect to any other Subsidiary Guarantor, as of the date such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

7.9 General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state, corporate or other law, or any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 7.1 would otherwise, taking into account the provisions of Section 7.8, be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 7.1, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Subsidiary Guarantor, any Secured Party or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

7.10 Indemnity by the Company. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Subsidiary Guarantors may have under Applicable Law (but subject to Section 7.4), the Company agrees that (a) in the event a payment shall be made by any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify such Subsidiary Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (b) in the event any assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Security Document to satisfy in whole or in part the Secured Obligations, the Company shall indemnify such Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.

SECTION 8. COLLATERAL ALLOCATION AND TRACKING

8.1 Cash Collateral. All Cash constituting any portion of the Collateral shall be applied according to the following:

(a) all Cash payments or Cash distributions (other than payments referred to in clauses (b) and (c) below) made by any Grantor to any Person (other than a Grantor) shall reduce:

(i) first, Cash constituting Shared Collateral;

(ii) second, to the extent that the Borrowing Base (as defined in either Credit Agreement) exceeds 150% of the Covered Debt Amount (as defined in such Credit Agreement), then to the extent of such excess, Cash shall be reduced ratably from Cash constituting Revolver First Priority Collateral and/or Term Loan First Priority Collateral (but only to the extent of such excess);

(iii) third, ratably from Cash constituting Revolver First Priority Collateral and Term Loan First Priority Collateral;

(b) all payments of the Revolver Related Obligations shall reduce:

(i) first, Cash constituting Revolver First Priority Collateral ;

(ii) second, Cash constituting Shared Collateral;

(iii) third, Cash constituting Term Loan First Priority Collateral; and

(i) first, Cash constituting Term Loan First Priority Collateral ;

(ii) second, Cash constituting Shared Collateral;

(iii) third, Cash constituting Revolver First Priority Collateral; and

provided, that no Cash payment or Cash distribution may be made by any Grantor unless such payment is permitted (or not prohibited) by the Credit Agreements.

8.2 Designation of Collateral. The Company may at any time designate as Revolver First Priority Collateral, Term Loan First Priority Collateral or Shared Collateral hereunder any Portfolio Investment (including Cash and Cash Equivalents) satisfying the terms and conditions of the provisions of Section 9.02(c) of the Credit Agreements, such designation to be effected by delivery to the Collateral Agent of a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A or in such other form approved by the Collateral Agent (a “Collateral Designation Notice”), which notice shall identify such Portfolio Investment and be accompanied by a certificate of any Responsible Officer delivered to the Collateral Agent:

(a) certifying that such designation is permitted (or not prohibited) by the Secured Instruments, and that after giving effect to such designation (including a designation for purposes of curing a Default or an Event of Default), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,

(b) in the case of any re-designation of a Pledged Revolver Portfolio Investment as Term Loan First Priority Collateral or Shared Collateral, certifying that the “Borrowing Base” (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) equals at least 150% of the Covered Debt Amount (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) after giving effect to such designation, and

(c) in the case of any re-designation of a Pledged Term Loan Portfolio Investment as Revolver First Priority Collateral or Shared Collateral, certifying that the “Borrowing Base” (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) equals at least 150%

of the Covered Debt Amount (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) after giving effect to such designation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s investment in American Capital, LLC shall at all times constitute Shared Collateral. Following any re-designation of a Pledged Revolver Portfolio Investment or Pledged Term Loan Portfolio Investment as Collateral of a different type in accordance with this Section 8.2, such Portfolio Investment shall be deemed released from the Revolver First Priority Collateral or Term Loan First Priority Collateral, as applicable, and shall thereafter constitute Collateral of the type so designated.

8.3 Designation of After-Acquired Portfolio Investments. The Company shall, within five Business Days of the acquisition of any Portfolio Investment (excluding Cash) or within 5 Business Days after any Portfolio Investment that previously constituted an Excluded Asset has ceased to constitute an Excluded Asset, deliver a Collateral Designation Notice to the Collateral Agent designating such Portfolio Investment as either Revolver First Priority Collateral or Term Loan First Priority Collateral or Shared Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event any such Portfolio Investment has not been designated as Revolver First Priority Collateral, Term Loan First Priority Collateral or Shared Collateral in accordance with this Section 8.3, such Portfolio Investment shall be deemed to have been designated as Shared Collateral until such time as it is otherwise designated in accordance with this Section 8.3.

SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS

9.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 9.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent or such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative,

may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

9.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, except as permitted pursuant to Section 9.04(a) of the Credit Agreements, and any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 9.4 shall be void ab initio.

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.

9.8 Integration. This Agreement and the other Secured Instruments represent the agreement of the Grantors, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Secured Instruments.

9.9 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

9.10 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Grantor, and by its acceptance hereof, the Collateral Agent, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Secured Instruments to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

9.12 Releases. vii) At the time and to the extent provided in Section 6.12(a) of the Collateral Agency Agreement, the Collateral or any applicable portion thereof shall be released from the Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Collateral Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Agency Agreement. At the request and sole expense of any Grantor following any such termination, the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and in any event within 2 Business Days after receipt of such request) deliver to such Grantor any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent hereunder, and promptly (and in any event within 2 Business Days after receipt of such request) execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
