certificate representing a dividend or a distribution in connection with any

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

(e) Such Grantor will notify the Trustee and the Administrative Agent
immediately if it knows that any application or registration relating to any
Intellectual Property material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, may become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any
16
adverse determination or development (including, without limitation, the
institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in
the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright
Office or any court or tribunal in any country) challenging such Grantor's

actions as such Grantor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the
circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property (which may include the grant
of a license to such third party).
SECTION 5. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS
5.1 Investment Property. (a) Unless a Notice of Acceleration shall be in
-------------------------
effect and the Trustee shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the
Trustee's intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section
5.1(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in
respect of the Investment Property, paid in the normal course of business of the
relevant Issuer, to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to
exercise all voting and corporate 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 Trustee'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 a Notice of Acceleration shall be in effect and the Trustee shall
give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or
Grantors, (i) the Trustee 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 Secured Obligations in the order specified
in the New Trust Agreement, and (ii) any or all of the Investment Property shall
be registered in the name of the Trustee or its nominee, and the Trustee 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
17
(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 Trustee 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 Trustee may determine), all without liability
except to account for property actually received by it, but the Trustee shall
have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and
shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.
(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any
Investment Property pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any
instruction received by it from the Trustee in writing that (x) states that a
Notice of Acceleration is in effect 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) if a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, pay any dividends
or other payments with respect to the Investment Property directly to the
Trustee.
5.2 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Trustee. If a Notice of Acceleration
-------------------------------------------
shall be in effect, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash,
checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the
Trustee, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon
receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Trustee in the exact form
received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Trustee, if
required).
5.3 Application of Proceeds. All Proceeds of the Collateral received by
-----------------------------
the Trustee hereunder shall be held and applied in accordance with the New Trust
Agreement.
5.4 Code and Other Remedies. If a Notice of Acceleration is in effect,
-----------------------------
the Trustee, 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 New York UCC
or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Trustee, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment,
protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law
referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of
which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in
such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the
Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give
option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the
Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one
or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's
board or office of the Trustee 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 Trustee or any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public
sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale
or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of
any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is
hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Trustee's
request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Trustee at
places which the Trustee shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor's
premises or elsewhere. The Trustee shall apply the net proceeds of any action
taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.4, 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 Trustee and the Secured
18
Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in
the order specified in the New Trust Agreement, and only after such application
and after the payment by the Trustee of any other amount required by any
provision of law, including, without limitation, Article 9 of the New York UCC,
need the Trustee 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 Trustee 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.
5.5 Registration Rights. (a) If the Trustee shall determine to exercise
-------------------------
its right to sell any or all of the Investment Property pursuant to Section 5.4,
and if in the opinion of the Trustee it is necessary or advisable to have the
Investment Property, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the
provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor will 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 Trustee,
necessary or advisable to register the Investment Property, or that portion
thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its
best efforts to 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 the Investment Property, 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 Trustee, 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 cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the
securities or "Blue Sky" laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Trustee
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 Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.
(b) Each Grantor recognizes that the Trustee may be unable to effect a
public sale of any or all the Investment Property, 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 Trustee shall
be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Investment Property 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 best 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 Investment Property pursuant to this Section 5.5 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 5.5 will cause irreparable injury to the Trustee and the Secured
Parties, that the Trustee 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 5.5 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.
19
5.6 Waiver; Deficiency. Each Grantor waives and agrees not to assert any
------------------------
rights or privileges which it may acquire under Article 9 of the New York UCC.
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 fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the
Trustee to collect such deficiency.
5.7 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables. (a) Subject in all cases to
---------------------------------------------
Section 5.8:
(i) The Trustee shall have the right, at any time after the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to make test verifications
of the Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably
considers advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and
information as the Trustee may require in connection with such test
verifications.
(ii) Each Grantor is authorized to collect such Grantor's Receivables,
subject to the Trustee's direction and control after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, and the Trustee 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 Trustee at any time
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any
payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (A) shall be forthwith
(and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the
exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Trustee if required,
in the Collateral Account maintained pursuant to the New Trust Agreement, and
(B) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the
Trustee and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such
Grantor. 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.
(iii) At the Trustee's request, each Grantor shall deliver to the Trustee
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.
(iv) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, each Grantor will cooperate with the Trustee and the
Administrative Agent to establish a system of lockbox accounts, under the sole
dominion and control of the Trustee, into which all Receivables shall be paid
and from which all collected funds will be transferred to the Collateral
Account maintained pursuant to the Trust Agreement.
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. Neither the Trustee 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 any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto.
5.8 Automatic Release of Liens: Limitation on Actions. Anything herein or
-------------------------------------------------------
in the New Trust Agreement or any other Security Document to the contrary
notwithstanding:
(i) Simultaneously with any transfer of any Securitized Receivable to the
Receivables Subsidiary pursuant to the Existing Accounts Receivable Financing
Program, the security interest created by this Agreement in such Securitized
Receivable and in any Securitization Assets related thereto shall
automatically terminate, without the necessity of any action by the Trustee or
any other Person. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that
(x) pursuant to the terms of the Sale Agreement (as such term is defined in
the Purchase Agreement), Federal-Mogul Funding
20
Corporation purchases Securitized Receivables from the Company upon the
creation of such Securitized Receivables and (y) in no event shall the
Trustee, any Secured Party or any other Person pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement have any interest in any of the Securitized Receivables and/or the
Securitization Assets;
(ii) Neither the Trustee nor any other Person, directly or indirectly,
shall, at any time prior to the date on which all Aggregate Unpaids have been
paid in full in cash in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents
(which payment shall be confirmed in writing by the Blue Ridge Agent and the
Falcon Agent), exercise any right or remedy or take any action under this
Agreement or the New Trust Agreement (including, but not limited to, any
rights, remedies or actions pursuant to this Section 5 and/or the appointment
of the Trustee as an attorney-in-fact pursuant to Section 6.1) with respect to
any Excluded Receivables or any (x) Related Security with respect to any
Excluded Receivables, (y) cash collections or other cash proceeds of Excluded
Receivables, including, without limitation, cash proceeds of Related Security
with respect to any Excluded Receivables or (z) concentration account,
depositary account, lock-box account or similar account in which any cash
collections or cash proceeds described in the preceding clause (y) are
collected or deposited and all balances, checks, money orders, and other
instruments from time to time collected or deposited therein;
(iii) Any payments, collections or other cash proceeds received by the
Servicer (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) relating to any
Securitized Receivables, to the extent the Servicer cannot apply such payment
to a specific invoice, shall be applied first to payment of the oldest
invoices;
(iv) In the event that the Trustee receives any payments or funds
relating to the Securitized Receivables and the Securitization Assets, the
Trustee shall hold such payments or funds in trust for the benefit of the Blue
Ridge Agent and the Falcon Agent, and shall promptly transfer such payments or
funds to the Falcon Agent;
(v) The provisions of this Section 5.8 shall continue to be effective or
be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the
Aggregate Unpaids is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Blue Ridge
Agent, the Falcon Agent or any Purchaser (as such term is defined in the
Purchase Agreement) upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the
Company or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made; and
(vi) In no event shall the Trustee or any Secured Party object to or
contest in any manner (1) the interests of Federal-Mogul Funding Corporation
and its successors and assigns and/or (2) the interests of the Blue Ridge
Agent, the Falcon Agent and/or the Purchasers, in the case of clause (1)
and/or (2), in the Securitized Receivables and/or the Securitization Assets.
(b) Each of the Blue Ridge Agent and the Falcon Agent shall be a third
party beneficiary with respect to this Section 5.8.
(c) So long as any Aggregate Unpaids have not been paid in full in cash in
accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, (1) clause (b) of the
definition of "Excluded Assets" and the defined terms "Contract", "Existing
Accounts Receivable Financing Program", "Excluded Receivables", "Originator",
"Related Security", "Securitization Assets" and "Securitized Receivables" and
(2) this Section 5.8, in the case of clause (1) and/or clause (2), shall not be
amended, modified or supplemented without the prior written consent of the Blue
Ridge Agent and the Falcon Agent, which consent shall be at the sole discretion
of the Blue Ridge Agent and/or the Falcon Agent, and the defined terms specified
in
21
the preceding clause (1) and the provisions of this Section 5.8 shall be
contained in any agreement that amends and restates this Agreement.
SECTION 6. THE TRUSTEE
6.1 Trustee's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.. (a) Each Grantor
------------------------------------------------------
hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Trustee 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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 Trustee may request to evidence the Trustee's and the Secured Parties'
security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general
intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby ;
(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened
against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the
terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and
the costs thereof;
(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.4 or
5.5, 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 Trustee or as the Trustee 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 Trustee may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or
Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Trademark
pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions,
and in such manner, as the Trustee 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 Trustee were the
22
absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Trustee's option
and such Grantor's expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and
things which the Trustee deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize
upon the Collateral and the Trustee's and the Secured Parties' security
interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully
and effectively as such Grantor might do.
Anything in this Section 6.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Trustee agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney
provided for in this Section 6.1(a) unless directed to do so in the manner
specified in the New Trust Agreement while a Notice of Acceleration is in
effect.
(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its
agreements contained herein, the Trustee, 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 Trustee 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 category of past due Base Rate Loans which are US$ Revolving
Credit Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Trustee
to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor
to the Trustee 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.
6.2 Duty of Trustee. The Trustee's sole duty with respect to the
---------------------
custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its
possession, under Article 9 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be as
provided in the New Trust Agreement. Neither the Trustee, 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 Trustee and the Secured Parties hereunder are solely
to protect the Trustee's and the Secured Parties' interests in the Collateral
and shall not impose any duty upon the Trustee or any Secured Party to exercise
any such powers. The Trustee 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 Execution of Financing Statements. Pursuant to Article 9 of the
---------------------------------------
New York UCC and any other applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Trustee
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 Trustee determines appropriate
to perfect the security interests of the Trustee under this Agreement. A
photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a
financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for
filing or recording in any jurisdiction.
6.4 Authority of Trustee. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights
--------------------------
and responsibilities of the Trustee under this Agreement with respect to any
action taken by the Trustee or the exercise or non-exercise by the Trustee 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
Trustee and the Secured
23
Parties, be governed by the New Trust Agreement and by such other agreements
with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between
the Trustee and the Grantors, the Trustee 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. MISCELLANEOUS
7.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this
--------------------------
Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by
an instrument in writing executed by the Grantors and by the Trustee (pursuant
to instructions given in accordance with the New Trust Agreement).
7.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Trustee or
------------
any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section
6.1 of the New Trust Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand
to or upon any Subsidiary Grantor shall be addressed to such Grantor c/o the
Company and that any such notice, request or demand to or upon the Trustee shall
be addressed to the Trustee at its notice address set forth in the New Trust
Agreement.
7.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the
--------------------------------------------------------
Trustee nor any Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument
pursuant to Section 7.1), 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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 Trustee 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.
7.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Grantor agrees to pay
------------------------------------------
or reimburse each Secured Party and the Trustee for all its costs and expenses
incurred in enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the

limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees
and expenses of in-house counsel) to each Secured Party and of counsel to the
Trustee.

Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting
from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which
may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral
or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(c) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Trustee and the Secured
Parties 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 Company would
be required to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to
Section 15.5 of the Credit Agreement, and Section 4.6 of the New Trust
Agreement.
24
(d) The agreements in this Section 7.4 shall survive repayment of the
Secured Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and
the other Loan Documents and the New Trust Agreement.
7.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
----------------------------
successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the
Trustee 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 Trustee.
7.6 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.
7.7 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.
7.8 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.
7.9 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent
-----------------
the agreement of the Grantors, the Trustee and the Secured Parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises,
undertakings, representations or warranties by the Trustee or any Secured Party
relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or
referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.
7.10 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED
-------------------
AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
7.11 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably
-----------------------------------------
and unconditionally:
(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and Trust Security
Documents to which it is now, or may hereafter become, a party, or for

shall have been notified pursuant thereto;
25
(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service
of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to xxx
