4.1. Such Pledgor is duly organized or formed, as applicable, validly existing and in good standing (or comparable concept in the applicable jurisdiction) under the laws of its state of incorporation or formation, as applicable, and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing (or comparable concept in the applicable jurisdiction) as a foreign entity in the jurisdictions where the character of its property or its business activities makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to so qualify could not reasonably be expected to cause or result in a Material Adverse Effect.
4.2. Such Pledgor has full power, authority and legal right to pledge the Collateral of such Pledgor, to execute and deliver this Agreement, and to perform and observe the provisions hereof. The officers or authorized representatives, as applicable, acting on such Pledgor’s behalf have been duly authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement. This Agreement is valid and binding upon such Pledgor in accordance with the terms hereof.
4.3. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the performance and observance of the provisions hereof, by such Pledgor will conflict with, or constitute a violation or default under, any provision of any applicable law or of any contract (including, without limitation, such Pledgor’s Organizational Documents) or of any other writing binding upon such Pledgor in any manner, which violation or default would have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.4. Each Pledgor’s state of organization or formation, as applicable, is set forth on Schedule 6.1 to the Credit Agreement. Except as previously disclosed to the Administrative Agent in writing, no Pledgor has, during the last five years, changed its name or conducted business under a trade or assumed name.

Financing Statements in connection herewith, the Administrative Agent will have, for the benefit of the Lenders, a valid and enforceable first security interest in the Collateral (to the extent perfection can be accomplished by such filing or action) that is the type in which a security interest may be created under the U.C.C. by the execution of a security agreement and perfected by the filing of a U.C.C. Financing Statement (other than Commercial Tort Claims); and (e) no Pledgor has entered into any contract or agreement that would prohibit the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from acquiring a security interest, mortgage or other Lien on, or a collateral assignment of, any of the property or assets of such Pledgor.
4.6. Each Pledged Note constitutes a valid obligation of the maker thereof, and is enforceable according to its tenor and free from any defense or offset of any kind. No default has occurred under any Pledged Note. Each Pledged Note is either unsecured, or, if secured, Pledgor has a valid, duly perfected security interest in and lien on all of the property that serves to secure its Pledged Notes. No Pledgor has any obligations to make any further or additional loans or advances to, or purchases of securities from, any maker with respect to any of the Pledged Notes of such Pledgor.

4.8. Each Pledgor has received consideration that is the reasonably equivalent value of the obligations and liabilities that such Pledgor has incurred to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
4.9. Such Pledgor has reviewed and is familiar with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

11.1.

(b) Upon written notice to a Pledgor from the Administrative Agent after the occurrence of an Event of Default, a Cash Collateral Account shall be opened by such Pledgor at the main office of the Administrative Agent (or such other office as shall be designated by the Administrative Agent) and all such lawful collections of the Accounts of such Pledgor and such Proceeds of the Accounts and Inventory of such Pledgor shall be remitted daily by such Pledgor to the Administrative Agent in the form in which they are received by such Pledgor, either by mailing or by delivering such collections and Proceeds to the Administrative Agent, appropriately endorsed for deposit in the Cash Collateral Account. In the event that such notice is given to a Pledgor from the Administrative Agent, such Pledgor shall not commingle such collections or Proceeds with any of such Pledgor’s other funds or property, but shall hold such collections and Proceeds separate and apart therefrom upon an express trust for the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders. In such case, the Administrative Agent
10
may, in its sole discretion, and shall, at the request of the Required Lenders, at any time and from time to time, apply all or any portion of the account balance in the Cash Collateral Account as a credit against the Secured Obligations. If any remittance shall be dishonored, or if, upon final payment, any claim with respect thereto shall be made against the Administrative Agent on its warranties of collection, the Administrative Agent may charge the amount of such item against the Cash Collateral Account or any other Deposit Account maintained by such Pledgor with the Administrative Agent, and, in any event, retain the same and such Pledgor’s interest therein as additional security for the Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, release funds from the Cash Collateral Account to such Pledgor for use in such Pledgor’s business. The balance in the Cash Collateral Account may be withdrawn by such Pledgor upon termination of this Agreement and irrevocable payment in full of all of the Secured Obligations.
(c) At the Administrative Agent’s written request after the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Pledgor shall cause all remittances representing collections and Proceeds of Collateral to be mailed to a lockbox at a location acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to which the Administrative Agent shall have access for the processing of such items in accordance with the provisions, terms and conditions of the customary lockbox agreement of the Administrative Agent.
13. Collections and Receipt of Proceeds by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall, at all times, have the right, but not the duty, to collect and enforce any or all of the Accounts of the Pledgors as the Administrative Agent may deem advisable and, if the Administrative Agent shall at any time or times elect to do so in whole or in part, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any Pledgor except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence, if any. Each Pledgor hereby constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent, or the Administrative Agent’s designated agent, as such Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact to exercise, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all or any of the following powers which, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until the complete and full payment of all of the Secured Obligations:
(a) to receive, retain, acquire, take, endorse, assign, deliver, accept and deposit, in the name of the Administrative Agent or any Pledgor, any and all of such Pledgor’s cash, instruments, chattel paper, documents, Proceeds of Accounts, Proceeds of Inventory, collection of Accounts, and any other writings relating to any of the Collateral of such Pledgor. Each Pledgor hereby waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest and any and all other similar notices with respect thereto, regardless of the form of any endorsement thereof. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be bound or obligated to take any action to preserve any rights therein against prior parties thereto;
(b) to transmit to Account Debtors of such Pledgor, on any or all of the Accounts of such Pledgor, notice of assignment to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, thereof and the security interest of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, and to request from such Account Debtors at any time, in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Pledgor, information concerning the Accounts of such Pledgor and the amounts owing thereon;
11
(c) to transmit to purchasers of any or all of the Inventory of each Pledgor, notice of the security interest of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, and to request from such purchasers at any time, in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Pledgor, information concerning the Inventory of such Pledgor and the amounts owing thereon by such purchasers;
(d) to notify and require Account Debtors on the Accounts of such Pledgor and purchasers of the Inventory of such Pledgor to make payment of their indebtedness directly to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders;
(e) to enter into or assent to such amendment, compromise, extension, release or other modification of any kind of, or substitution for, the Accounts of any Pledgor, or any thereof, as the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem to be advisable;
(f) to enforce the Accounts of any Pledgor or any thereof, or any other Collateral, by suit or otherwise, to maintain any such suit or other proceeding in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Pledgor, and to withdraw any such suit or other proceeding. Each Pledgor agrees to lend every assistance requested by the Administrative Agent in respect of the foregoing, all at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and including, without limitation, the furnishing of such witnesses and of such records and other writings as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require in connection with making legal proof of any Account of such Pledgor. Each Pledgor agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in full for all court costs and attorneys’ fees and every other cost, expense or liability, if any, incurred or paid by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with the foregoing, which obligation of the Pledgors shall constitute Obligations, shall be secured by the Collateral and shall bear interest, until paid, at the Default Rate; and
(g) to accept all collections in any form relating to the Collateral, including remittances that may reflect deductions, and to deposit the same into such Pledgor’s Cash Collateral Account or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, to apply them as a payment on the Loans or any other Secured Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
14. Administrative Agent’s Authority Under Pledged Notes. For the better protection of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, each Pledgor, as appropriate, has executed (or will execute, with respect to future Pledged Notes) an appropriate endorsement on (or separate from) each Pledged Note of such Pledgor and has deposited (or will deposit, with respect to future Pledged Notes) such Pledged Note with the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Pledgor irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, to (a) ask for, demand, collect and receive all payments of principal of and interest on the Pledged Notes of such Pledgor; (b) compromise and settle any dispute arising in respect of the foregoing; (c) execute and deliver vouchers, receipts and acquittances in full discharge of the foregoing; (d) exercise, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, any right, power or privilege granted to the holder of any Pledged Note of such Pledgor by the provisions thereof including, without limitation, the right to demand security or to waive any default thereunder; (e) endorse such Pledgor’s name to each check or other writing
12
received by the Administrative Agent as a payment or other proceeds of or otherwise in connection with any Pledged Note of such Pledgor; (f) enforce delivery and payment of the principal and/or interest on the Pledged Notes of such Pledgor, in each case by suit or otherwise as the Administrative Agent may desire; and (g) enforce the security, if any, for the Pledged Notes of such Pledgor by instituting foreclosure proceedings, by conducting public or other sales or otherwise, and to take all other steps as the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, may deem advisable in connection with the forgoing; provided, however, that nothing contained or implied herein or elsewhere shall obligate the Administrative Agent to institute any action, suit or proceeding or to make or do any other act or thing contemplated by this Section 14 or prohibit the Administrative Agent from settling, withdrawing or dismissing any action, suit or proceeding or require the Administrative Agent to preserve any other right of any kind in respect of the Pledged Notes and the security, if any, therefor.
15. Commercial Tort Claims. If any Pledgor shall at any time hold or acquire a material Commercial Tort Claim, such Pledgor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Pledgor, that sets forth the details thereof and grants to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) a Lien thereon and on the Proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be prepared by and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
16. Use of Inventory and Equipment. Until the exercise by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of their rights under this Agreement, each Pledgor may (a) retain possession of and use the Inventory and Equipment of such Pledgor in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this Agreement or with the terms, conditions, or provisions of any policy of insurance thereon; (b) sell or lease its Inventory in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement; and (c) use and consume raw materials or supplies, the use and consumption of which are necessary in order to carry on such Pledgor’s business.
17. Authorization and Appointments.
(a) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes and appoints the Borrower to take all such actions, and exercise all such powers, as are granted to, or contemplated to be taken by, the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
(b) Each Pledgor hereby agrees to, and hereby ratifies, all authorizations and appointments granted by such Pledgor to the Administrative Agent, or contemplated to be given to the Administrative Agent by such Pledgor, under the terms of the Credit Agreement.
18. Events of Default and Remedies.
18.1. The occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined in the Credit Agreement, shall constitute an Event of Default.
18.2. The Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, shall at all times have the rights and remedies of a secured party under the U.C.C., in addition to the rights and remedies of a secured party provided elsewhere within this Agreement, any Note or any other
13
Loan Document, or otherwise provided in law or equity. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at all times thereafter, the Administrative Agent may require each Pledgor to assemble such Pledgor’s Collateral, which each Pledgor agrees to do, and make it available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at a reasonably convenient place to be designated by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, with or without notice to or demand upon any Pledgor and with or without the aid of legal process, make use of such force as may be necessary to enter any premises where the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be found and to take possession thereof (including anything found in or on the Collateral that is not specifically described in this Agreement, each of which findings shall be considered to be an accession to and a part of the Collateral) and for that purpose may pursue the Collateral wherever the same may be found, without liability for trespass or damage caused thereby to any Pledgor. After any delivery or taking of possession of the Collateral, or any thereof, pursuant to this Agreement, then, with or without resort to any Pledgor or any other Person or property, all of which each Pledgor hereby waives, and upon such terms and in such manner as the Administrative Agent may deem advisable, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, in its sole discretion, may sell, assign, transfer and deliver any of the Collateral at any time, or from time to time. No prior notice need be given to any Pledgor or to any other Person in the case of any sale of Collateral that the Administrative Agent determines to be perishable or to be declining speedily in value or that is customarily sold in any recognized market, but in any other case the Administrative Agent shall give the Pledgors no fewer than ten days prior notice of either the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition thereof is to be made. Each Pledgor waives advertisement of any such sale and (except to the extent specifically required by the preceding sentence) waives notice of any kind in respect of any such sale. At any such public sale, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may purchase the Collateral, or any part thereof, free from any right of redemption, all of which rights each Pledgor hereby waives and releases. After deducting all Related Expenses, and after paying all claims, if any, secured by liens having precedence over this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may apply the net proceeds of each such sale to or toward the payment of the Secured Obligations, whether or not then due, in such order and by such division as the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable. Any excess, to the extent permitted by law, shall be paid to the Pledgors, and the obligors on the Obligations shall remain liable for any deficiency. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall at all times have the right, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, to obtain new appraisals of each Pledgor or the Collateral, the cost of which shall be paid by the Pledgors; provided that, absent an Event of Default, the Pledgors need not reimburse the Administrative Agent for more than one such collateral audit or appraisal during a calendar year.
19. Maximum Liability of Each Pledgor and Rights of Contribution. It is the desire and intent of each Pledgor, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that this Agreement shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If and to the extent that the obligations of any Pledgor under this Agreement would, in the absence of this sentence, be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers, then anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the amount of the Secured Obligations secured by this Agreement by any Pledgor exceed the maximum amount that (after giving effect to the
14
incurring of the obligations hereunder and to any rights to contribution of such Pledgor from other affiliates of the Borrower) would not render the rights to payment of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder void, voidable or avoidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer law. The Pledgors hereby agree as among themselves that, in connection with the payments made hereunder, each Pledgor shall have a right of contribution from each other Credit Party in accordance with applicable law. Such contribution rights shall be waived until such time as the Secured Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full, and no Pledgor shall exercise any such contribution rights until the Secured Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full.
20. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and, if to a Pledgor, mailed or delivered to it, addressed to it at the address specified on the signature pages of this Agreement, if to the Administrative Agent or a Lender, mailed or delivered to it, addressed to the address of the Administrative Agent or such Lender specified on the signature pages of the Credit Agreement, or, as to each party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each of the other parties. All notices, statements, requests, demands and other communications provided for hereunder shall be deemed to be given or made when delivered (if received during normal business hours on a Business Day, such Business Day, otherwise the following Business Day) or two Business Days after being deposited in the mails with postage prepaid by registered or certified mail, addressed as aforesaid, or sent by facsimile or electronic communication, in each case of facsimile or electronic communication with telephonic confirmation of receipt. All notices pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall not be effective until received.
21. No Waiver or Course of Dealing. No course of dealing between any Pledgor and the Administrative Agent or any Lender, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any such Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
22. Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power or privilege specified or referred to in this Agreement is in addition to any other rights, powers and privileges that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have or acquire by operation of law, by other contract or otherwise. Each right, power or privilege may be exercised by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders either independently or concurrently with other rights, powers and privileges and as often and in such order as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may deem expedient. All of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the Collateral, whether established hereby or by the Loan Documents, or by any other agreements or by law shall be cumulative and may be executed singularly or concurrently.
23. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and, if any clause or provision shall be held invalid and unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.
15
24. Modifications. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a writing signed by the Pledgors and the Administrative Agent. No waiver or consent granted by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect of this Agreement shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent and the Lenders unless specifically granted in writing, which writing shall be strictly construed.
25. Assignment and Successors. This Agreement shall not be assigned by any Pledgor without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. This Agreement shall be binding upon each Pledgor and their respective successors and permitted assigns and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable and exercisable by the Administrative Agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any attempted assignment or transfer without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent shall be null and void.
26. Termination. At such time as the Secured Obligations shall have been irrevocably paid in full, the Commitment terminated, and the Credit Agreement terminated and not replaced by any other credit facility with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the Pledgors shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. Upon written request of the Pledgors, the Administrative Agent shall promptly file appropriate termination statements, cancel all control agreements and return all physically pledged Collateral, and take such other action as shall be reasonably appropriate. The Pledgors will indemnify the Administrative Agent in all respects for all costs incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with such termination.
27. Entire Agreement. This Agreement integrates all of the terms and conditions with respect to the Collateral and supersedes all oral representations and negotiations and prior writings, if any, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
28. Headings; Execution. The headings and subheadings used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall be ignored in interpreting the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or electronic signature, which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original.
29. Additional Pledgors. Additional Domestic Subsidiaries may become a party to this Agreement by the execution of a Security Agreement Joinder and delivery of such other supporting documentation, corporate governance and authorization documents, and an opinion of counsel, as required by Section 5.21 of the Credit Agreement. At the option of the Administrative Agent, a Domestic Subsidiary may also grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in the assets of such Domestic Subsidiary to secure the Secured Obligations pursuant to a separate Security Agreement executed by such Domestic Subsidiary.
30. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. The provisions of this Agreement and the respective rights and duties of each Pledgor, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Ohio law, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws that would result in the application of the law of any other state. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Ohio state or
00
xxxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxxx xx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxx, over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any Loan Document or any Related Writing, and each Pledgor hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Ohio state or federal court. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any such action or proceeding in any such court as well as any right it may now or hereafter have to remove such action or proceeding, once commenced, to another court on the grounds of FORUM NON CONVENIENS or otherwise. Each Pledgor agrees that a final, nonappealable judgment in any such action or proceeding in any state or federal court in the State of Ohio shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

WHEREAS, New Pledgor, a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Borrower, deems it to be in the direct pecuniary and business interests of New Pledgor that the Borrower continue to obtain from the Lenders the financial accommodations provided for in the Credit Agreement;
WHEREAS, New Pledgor understands that the Lenders are willing to continue to grant such financial accommodations only upon certain terms and conditions, one of which is that New Pledgor grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in and a collateral assignment of New Pledgor’s Collateral, as defined in the Security Agreement, and this Agreement is being executed and delivered in consideration of each financial accommodation granted to the Borrower by the Lenders, and for other valuable consideration;
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 5.21 of the Credit Agreement and Section 29 of the Security Agreement, New Pledgor has agreed that, effective on [ ], [ ] (the “Joinder Effective Date”), New Pledgor shall become a party to the Security Agreement and shall become a “Pledgor” thereunder; and
WHEREAS, except as specifically defined herein, capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Security Agreement shall have their respective meanings ascribed to them in the Security Agreement;
E-2
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the benefits accruing to New Pledgor, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, New Pledgor hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, covenants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and agrees with the Administrative Agent as follows:
Section 1. Assumption and Joinder. On and after the Joinder Effective Date:
(a) New Pledgor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally assumes, agrees to be liable for, and agrees to perform and observe, each and every one of the covenants, rights, promises, agreements, terms, conditions, obligations, appointments, duties and liabilities of a “Pledgor” under the Security Agreement and all of the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement) applicable to it as a Pledgor under the Security Agreement;
(b) New Pledgor shall become bound by all representations, warranties, covenants, provisions and conditions of the Security Agreement and each other Loan Document applicable to it as a Pledgor under the Security Agreement, as if New Pledgor had been the original party making such representations, warranties and covenants; and
(c) all references to the term “Pledgor” in the Security Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any document or instrument executed and delivered or furnished, or to be executed and delivered or furnished, in connection therewith shall be deemed to be a reference to, and shall include, New Pledgor.

(c) Each of the representations and warranties set forth in the Security Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on as and as of the date hereof as such representations and warranties apply to New Pledgor (except to the extent that any such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date) with the same force and effect as if made on the date hereof.
Section 4. Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time, upon the Administrative Agent’s request and at the sole expense of New Pledgor, New Pledgor will promptly and duly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent any and all further instruments and documents and take such further action as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of this Agreement.
