interest (other than Permitted Liens) in such Securities Accounts and Commodity Accounts by

uncertificated securities other than those constituting Pledged Securities and those maintained in
Securities Accounts or Commodity Accounts listed on Schedule 16(c) to the Perfection Certificate or
in respect of which the Collateral Agent has Control. If any Pledgor shall at any time hold or
acquire any certificated securities constituting Investment Property and having a fair market
value, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $100,000, such Pledgor shall promptly (and in
any event within 5 Business Days of acquiring such security) (a) endorse, assign and deliver the
same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment undated and
duly executed in blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent
or (b) deliver such securities into a Securities Account with respect to which a Control Agreement

the registered owner of the securities. The Pledgors shall not hereafter establish and maintain
any Securities Account or Commodity Account with any Securities Intermediary or Commodity
Intermediary, as applicable, unless (1) the applicable Pledgor shall have given the Collateral
Agent 30 days’ prior written notice of its intention to establish such new Securities Account or
Commodity Account with such Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary, as applicable, (2)
such Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary, as applicable, shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Collateral Agent and (3) such Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary,
as the case may be, and such Pledgor shall have duly executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent
a Control Agreement with respect to such Securities Account or Commodity Account, as the case may
be. The Collateral Agent shall not give any Entitlement Orders or instructions or directions to
any issuer of uncertificated securities, Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary, and
shall not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by such Pledgor,
unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or, after giving effect to any such
investment and withdrawal rights, would occur. The provisions of this Section 3.4(e) shall
not apply to any Financial Assets credited to a Securities Account for which the Collateral Agent
is the Securities Intermediary. No Pledgor shall grant Control over any Investment Property to any
person other than the Collateral Agent.

risk with respect to the Investment Property and Pledged Securities, and the risk of loss of,
damage to, or the destruction of the Investment Property and Pledged Securities, whether in the
possession of, or maintained as a security entitlement or deposit by, or subject to the control of,
the Collateral Agent, a Securities Intermediary, Commodity
17
Intermediary, any Pledgor or any other person; provided, however, that nothing contained in
this Section 3.4(e) shall release or relieve any Securities Intermediary or Commodity
Intermediary of its duties and obligations to the Pledgors or any other person under any Control
Agreement or under applicable Legal Requirements. Each Pledgor shall promptly pay all Charges and
fees of whatever kind or nature with respect to the Investment Property and Pledged Securities
pledged by it under this Agreement. In the event any Pledgor shall fail to make such payment
contemplated in the immediately preceding sentence, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to) do so for the account of such Pledgor and the Pledgors shall promptly reimburse and
indemnify the Collateral Agent from all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral
Agent under this Section 3.4(e) in accordance with Section 11.03 of the Credit
Agreement.
(f) Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. If any amount, individually or
in the aggregate, in excess of $100,000 or payable under or in connection with any of the Pledged
Collateral is evidenced by any Electronic Chattel Paper or any “transferable record” (as that term
is defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act,
or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant
jurisdiction), the Pledgor acquiring such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record shall
promptly (and in any event within 10 days of the acquisition thereof) notify the Collateral Agent
thereof and shall take such action as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to vest in the
Collateral Agent control under Section 9-105 of the UCC of such Electronic Chattel Paper or control
under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as
the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such
jurisdiction, of such transferable record. The Collateral Agent agrees with such Pledgor that the
Collateral Agent will arrange, pursuant to procedures reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent and so long as such procedures will not result in the Collateral Agent’s loss of control, for
the Pledgor to make alterations to the Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record permitted
under Section 9-105 of the UCC or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the Federal Electronic
Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions
Act for a party in control to allow without loss of control, unless an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by such Pledgor with
respect to such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record.
(g) Letter-of-Credit Rights. If any Pledgor is at any time a beneficiary under a
Letter of Credit now or hereafter issued in favor of such Pledgor, other than a Letter of Credit
issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement or a Letter of Credit that is a “supporting obligation” (as
defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC) with respect to other Pledged Collateral, in an amount
individually or in the aggregate in excess of $250,000, such Pledgor shall promptly (and in any
event within 5 Business Days of becoming a beneficiary thereunder) notify the Collateral Agent
thereof and such Pledgor shall, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, pursuant to an
agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (i) arrange
for the issuer and any confirmer or other nominated person of such Letter of Credit to consent to
an assignment to the Collateral Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under the Letter of Credit or
(ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of such Letter of
Credit, with the Collateral Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under
the Letter of Credit are to be applied as provided in the Credit Agreement.
18
(h) Commercial Tort Claims. As of the date hereof, each Pledgor hereby represents and
warrants that it holds no Commercial Tort Claims having a value reasonably believed by the Pledgors
to be, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $250,000, other than those (if any) listed on
Schedule 15 to the Perfection Certificate. If any Pledgor shall at any time hold or acquire a
Commercial Tort Claim having a value reasonably believed by the Pledgors to be, individually or in
the aggregate, in excess of $50,000, such Pledgor shall promptly (and in any event within 5
Business Days of acquiring such Commercial Tort Claim) notify the Collateral Agent in a writing
signed by such Pledgor of the brief details thereof and grant to the Collateral Agent in such
writing a security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this
Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent.
(i) Pledged Collateral in the Possession of a Third Party. If any Equipment or
Inventory (other than Equipment or Inventory leased to a customer in the ordinary course of
business) is in possession or control of any third party, including any warehouseman, landlord,
lessor, bailee or agent, or any Key Location, the Pledgors shall notify the Collateral Agent
thereof and notify the third party of the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein and obtain
an acknowledgment (a “Bailee Letter”) from such third party that (i) it is holding the
Equipment and/or Inventory, as applicable, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and (ii) such
third party will comply with instructions from the Collateral Agent with respect to such Equipment
and/or Inventory, as applicable, without further consent of any Pledgors.
SECTION 3.5 Joinder of Additional Pledgors. The Pledgors shall cause each Subsidiary of a Loan Party
which, after the date hereof, shall be required to pledge any or all of its assets to the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Credit Agreement, (a) to
execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent (i) a Joinder Agreement within 30 days after the date
on which it was acquired or created and (ii) a Perfection Certificate within 30 days after the date
on which it was acquired or created and/or (b) in the case of a Subsidiary organized outside of the
United States required to pledge any assets to the Collateral Agent, to execute and deliver such
documentation as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request and, in each case, upon such
execution and delivery by the applicable Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall constitute a “Guarantor”
and a “Pledgor” for all purposes hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as
a Guarantor and Pledgor herein. The execution and delivery of such Joinder Agreement shall not
require the consent of any other Pledgor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Pledgor
hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor
and Pledgor as a party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
SECTION 3.6 Supplements; Further Assurances. Each Pledgor shall take such further actions, and execute
and deliver to the Collateral Agent such additional assignments, agreements, supplements, powers
and instruments, as the Collateral Agent may in its reasonable judgment deem necessary, wherever
required by applicable Legal Requirements, in order to perfect, preserve and protect the security
interest in the Pledged Collateral as provided herein and the rights and interests granted to the
Collateral Agent hereunder, to carry into effect the purposes hereof or better to assure and
confirm unto the
Collateral Agent the Pledged Collateral or permit the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its
rights, powers and remedies hereunder with respect to any Pledged Collateral. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each
19
Pledgor shall make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file or refile
and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to time upon its reasonable request such lists,
descriptions and designations of the Pledged Collateral, copies of warehouse receipts, receipts in
the nature of warehouse receipts, bills of lading, documents of title, vouchers, invoices,
schedules, confirmatory assignments, supplements, additional security agreements, conveyances,
financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other
assurances or instruments as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request. If an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may institute and maintain, in its own name or
in the name of any Pledgor, such suits and proceedings as the Collateral Agent may be advised by
counsel as necessary or expedient to prevent any impairment of the security interest in any Pledged
Collateral or the perfection or priority thereof. If (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or (y) a landlord of any Pledgor shall provide notice of default under or termination of
any lease to which a Pledgor is a party, if directed by the Collateral Agent, such Pledgor shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such landlord to agree (in a writing addressed to the
Collateral Agent) to extend the time period provided by such landlord for the removal of Pledged
Collateral from the leased premises for a period, and otherwise on terms and conditions, reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent; provided that, in connection therewith, no Pledgor shall
agree, directly or indirectly, with any landlord to abandon any Pledged Collateral or waive or
limit such Pledgor’s rights in any Pledged Collateral. All of the foregoing shall be at the sole
cost and expense of the Pledgors.
ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
Each Pledgor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:
SECTION 4.1 Title. Such Pledgor has good and marketable title in its Pledge Collateral and, except for
the Lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the
Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement and Permitted Liens, such Pledgor owns (or either owns
or has a License to, in the case of Intellectual Property) and, as to Pledged Collateral acquired
by it from time to time after the date hereof, will either own or hold a License to the rights in
each item of Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder free and clear of any and all Liens or
claims of others (except Permitted Liens). Such Pledgor has not filed, nor authorized any third
party to file a financing statement, or other public notice with respect to all or any part of the
Pledged Collateral on file or of record in any public office, except such as have been filed in
favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or as are permitted by the Credit
Agreement or otherwise relate to Permitted Liens. No person other than any Pledgor or the
Collateral Agent has, or will have, control or possession of all or any part of the Pledged
Collateral, except as expressly permitted by the Loan Documents.
SECTION 4.2 Validity of Security Interest. The security interest in and Lien on the Pledged Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent for
the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder constitutes (a) a legal and valid security
interest in and Lien on all the Pledged Collateral securing the payment and performance in full of
the Secured Obligations, and (b) subject to the filings and other actions described in Schedule
1 hereto, a valid, enforceable, and except to the extent otherwise expressly permitted under
Article III hereof, perfected first
20
priority security interest (other than Permitted Liens) in all
the Pledged Collateral. The security interest and Lien granted to the Collateral Agent for the
ratable benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement in and on the Pledged Collateral
will at all times constitute a valid, enforceable, and except to the extent otherwise expressly
permitted under Article III, perfected, continuing first priority security interest therein,
subject only to Permitted Liens.
SECTION 4.3 Defense of Claims; Transferability of Pledged Collateral. Each Pledgor shall, at its own
cost and expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to defend title to the Pledged Collateral
pledged by it hereunder and the security interest therein granted to the Collateral Agent and the
priority thereof (subject to Permitted Liens) required hereunder against all claims and demands of
all persons, at its own cost and expense, at any time claiming any interest therein adverse to the
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. There is no agreement that restricts the
transferability of any material portion of the Pledged Collateral or otherwise materially impairs
or conflicts with any Pledgor’s obligations or the rights of the Collateral Agent or any other
Secured Party hereunder or any other Loan Document, and the Pledgors shall not enter into any
agreement or take any other action that would restrict the transferability of any material portion
of the Pledged Collateral or otherwise materially impair or conflict with any Pledgor’s obligations
or the rights of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder or any other Loan
Document.
SECTION 4.4 Other Financing Statements. No Pledgor has filed, nor authorized any third party to file
(nor will there be) any valid or effective financing statement (or similar statement or instrument
of registration under the law of any jurisdiction) covering or purporting to cover any interest of
any kind in the Pledged Collateral other than financing statements and other statements and
instruments filed in favor of the Collateral Agent relating to this Agreement or relating to
Permitted Liens. So long as any of the Secured Obligations remain unpaid and unperformed, no
Pledgor shall execute, authorize or permit to be filed in any public office any financing statement
(or similar statement or instrument of registration under the law of any jurisdiction) relating to
any Pledged Collateral, except financing statements and other statements and instruments filed or
to be filed in respect of and covering the security interests granted by such Pledgor to the
holder(s) of Permitted Liens.
SECTION 4.5 Chief Executive Office; Change of Name; Jurisdiction of Organization, etc. Such Pledgor
shall (i) unless it shall have given the Collateral Agent not less than 30 days’ prior written
notice (in the form of an Officers’ Certificate), not change its name, identity, legal structure
(whether by merger, consolidation, change in corporate form or otherwise), type of organization or
jurisdiction of organization or organizational identification number if it has one
and (ii) take all actions necessary or advisable to maintain the continuous validity, perfection
and the same or better priority (subject to Permitted Liens) of the Collateral Agent’s security
interest in the Pledged Collateral granted or intended to be granted hereunder, which in the case
of any merger or other change in organizational structure shall include delivering a written notice
(in the form of an Officers’ Certificate) upon completion of such merger or other change in
organizational structure confirming the grant of the security interest under this Agreement.
Unless it shall have given the Collateral Agent prior written notice (in the form of an Officers’
Certificate), such Pledgor shall not change its chief executive office, place of business or its
mailing address. If such Pledgor does not have an organizational identification number and later
obtains one, such Pledgor shall forthwith notify the Collateral Agent in writing
21
of such
organizational identification number. The Collateral Agent may rely on opinions of counsel as to
whether any or all UCC financing statements of the Pledgors need to be amended as a result of any
of the changes described in this Section 4.5. If any Pledgor fails to provide information
to the Collateral Agent about such changes on a timely basis, the Collateral Agent shall not be
liable or responsible to any party for any failure to maintain a valid, enforceable and perfected
security interest with the priority required hereunder in such Pledgor’s property constituting
Pledged Collateral, for which the Collateral Agent needed to have information relating to such
changes. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire about such changes if any Pledgor does
not inform the Collateral Agent of such changes, the parties acknowledging and agreeing that it
would not be feasible or practical for the Collateral Agent to search for information on such
changes if such information is not provided by any Pledgor.
SECTION 4.6 Location of Inventory and Equipment. As of the date hereof, all Equipment and Inventory of
such Pledgor, individually or in the aggregate with a fair market value in excess of $250,000, is
located at its chief executive office or such other location listed on Schedule 2(a), 2(b), 2(c) or
2(d) to the Perfection Certificate. Such Pledgor shall not move any Equipment or Inventory, with a
fair market value individually or in the aggregate in excess of $250,000, to any location other
than (x) its chief executive office, (y) any other location listed on Schedule 2(a), 2(b), 2(c) or
2(d) to the Perfection Certificate or (z) any other location within the continental United States
provided that, in each case the requirements of Section 3.4(i) are satisfied with respect
to such location, until it shall have given the Collateral Agent not less than 30 days’ prior
written notice, or such shorter period within which the requirements set forth in this Section
4.6 are satisfied, but in any event, not less than 10 days’ prior written notice, (in the form
of an Officers’ Certificate) of its intention so to do, clearly describing such new location within
the continental United States and providing such other information in connection therewith as the
Collateral Agent may reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any
location at which Equipment or Inventory, with a fair market value individually or in the aggregate
in excess of $250,000, such Pledgor shall have taken all action reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent to maintain the perfection and priority (subject to Permitted Liens) of the
security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Pledged Collateral intended to be granted hereby,
including, to the extent required under Section 3.4(i), obtaining waivers of landlord’s or
warehousemen’s and/or bailee’s liens with respect to such new location, if applicable, and if
reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent. Such Pledgor agrees to provide the Collateral Agent
with prompt notice following the movement of any Equipment or Inventory, individually or in the
aggregate with a fair market value in excess of $250,000, to any location other than one that is
listed in Schedule 2(a), 2(b), 2(c) or
2(d) to the Perfection Certificate or a location within the continental United States in respect of
which the requirements of Section 3.4(i) have been satisfied.
SECTION 4.7 Corporate Names; Prior Transactions. Except as set forth in Schedules 1(a) and (b) to the
Perfection Certificate, such Pledgor has not, during the past five years, been known by or used any
other corporate or fictitious name or been a party to any merger or consolidation, or acquired all
or substantially all of the assets of any person.
SECTION 4.8 Due Authorization and Issuance. All of the Initial Pledged Shares have been, and to the
extent any Pledged Shares are hereafter issued, such Pledged Shares will be, upon such issuance,
duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable. All of
22
the Initial Pledged
Interests have been, and to the extent any Pledged Interests are hereafter issued, such Pledged
Interests will be, fully paid for, and there is, or will be with respect to any Pledged Interests
hereinafter issued will be, no amount or other obligation owing by any Pledgor to any issuer of the
Initial Pledged Interests or any hereinafter issued Pledged Interests, as applicable, in exchange
for or in connection with the issuance of the Initial Pledged Interests or such Pledge Interests
hereinafter issued or any Pledgor’s status as a partner or a member of any issuer of the Initial
Pledged Interests.
SECTION 4.9 Consents, etc. No consent of any party (including equityholders or creditors of such
Pledgor) and no consent, authorization, approval, license or other action by, and no notice to or
filing with, any Governmental Authority or regulatory body or other person is required (A) for the
exercise by the Collateral Agent of the voting or other rights provided for in this Agreement or
(B) for the exercise by the Collateral Agent of the remedies in respect of the Pledged Collateral
pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that the Collateral Agent desires to exercise any
remedies, voting or consensual rights or attorney-in-fact powers set forth in this Agreement and
determines it necessary to obtain any approvals or consents of any Governmental Authority or
regulatory body or any other person therefor, then, upon the reasonable request of the Collateral
Agent, each Pledgor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist and aid the Collateral
Agent to obtain as soon as practicable any necessary approvals or consents for the exercise of any
such remedies, rights and powers.
SECTION 4.10 Pledged Collateral. All information set forth herein, including the schedules annexed
hereto, and all information contained in any documents, schedules and lists heretofore delivered to
any Secured Party, including the Perfection Certificate and the schedules thereto, in connection
with this Agreement, in each case, relating to the Pledged Collateral, is accurate and complete in
all material respects.
SECTION 4.11 Insurance. In the event that the proceeds of any insurance claim are paid after the
Collateral Agent has exercised its right to foreclose after an Event of Default, such Net Cash
Proceeds shall be paid to
the Collateral Agent to satisfy any deficiency remaining after such foreclosure. The Collateral
Agent shall retain its interest in the insurance policies and coverages required to be maintained
pursuant to the Credit Agreement during any redemption period.
SECTION 4.12 Payment of Taxes; Compliance with Legal Requirements; Contesting Liens; Charges. Each
Pledgor may at its own expense contest the validity, amount or applicability of any Charges so long
as the contest thereof shall be conducted in accordance with, and permitted pursuant to the
provisions of, the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, (i) no contest of any
such obligation may be pursued by such Pledgor if such contest would expose the Collateral Agent or
any other Secured Party to (A) any possible criminal liability or (B) any civil liability for
failure to comply with such obligations unless such Pledgor shall have furnished, if reasonably
requested by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, a bond or other security therefor
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, or such Secured Party, as the case may be, and
(ii) if at any time payment or performance of any obligation contested by such Pledgor pursuant to
this Section 4.12 shall become necessary to prevent the imposition of remedies because of
non-payment, such Pledgor shall pay or perform
23
the same in sufficient time to prevent the
imposition of remedies in respect of such default or prospective default.
SECTION 4.13 Access to Pledged Collateral, Books and Records; Other Information. Each Pledgor shall
permit representatives of the Collateral Agent upon reasonable notice to visit and inspect any of
its assets or properties, including to conduct any environmental assessments, sampling, testing or
monitoring of the Mortgaged Property, and examine and make abstracts from any of its books and
records (including insurance policies) at any reasonable time and upon reasonable notice. Such
Pledgor shall, at any and all times, within a reasonable time after written request by the
Collateral Agent, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Collateral Agent, in such manner and in
such detail as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, additional information with
respect to the Pledged Collateral. If a Default occurs and is continuing, the Collateral Agent
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to access any Mortgaged Property to undertake any
Response that the Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion deems appropriate at the reasonable
cost and expense of the Pledgors.
ARTICLE V
CERTAIN PROVISIONS CONCERNING SECURITIES COLLATERAL
SECTION 5.1 Pledge of Additional Securities Collateral. Each Pledgor shall, upon obtaining any Pledged
Securities or intercompany notes of any person (other than Excluded Property), accept the same in
trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and promptly (and in any event within 3 Business Days
thereafter) deliver to the Collateral Agent a Securities Pledge Amendment, duly executed by such
Pledgor, and the certificates and other documents required under Section 3.1 and
Section 3.2 hereof in respect of the additional Pledged Securities or intercompany notes
that are to be pledged pursuant to this Agreement, and confirming the attachment of the Lien hereby
created on and in respect of such
additional Pledged Securities or intercompany notes. Each Pledgor hereby authorizes the Collateral

(A) each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual
rights pertaining to the Securities Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not
inconsistent with the terms or purposes of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any
other document evidencing the Secured Obligations; provided, however, that no Pledgor shall
in any event exercise such rights in any manner that is disadvantageous to any Agent or
Lender in any material respect; and
(B) each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain, and to utilize free and clear
of the Lien hereof, any and all Distributions, but only if and to the
24
extent made in

such Distributions consisting of rights or interests in the form of Pledged Securities or
Intercompany Notes shall promptly (and in any event within 5 Business Days after receipt
thereof) be delivered to the Collateral Agent to hold as Pledged Collateral and shall, if
received by any Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, be
segregated from the other property or funds of such Pledgor and be forthwith delivered to
the Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any
necessary or reasonably requested endorsement).
(ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral
Agent may implement either or both of the following remedies, effective 5 Business Days after
written notice of such implementation is provided to the Pledgors:
(A) all rights of each Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights it
would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 5.2(i)(A) shall cease,
and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall
thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights until the
applicable Event of Default is no longer continuing, in which case the Collateral Agent’s
rights under this Section 5.2(ii)(A) shall cease to be effective, subject to
revesting in the event of a subsequent Event of Default that is continuing; and
(B) all rights of each Pledgor to receive Distributions that it would otherwise be
authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 5.2(i)(B) without further
action shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral
Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral
such Distributions until the applicable Event of Default is no longer
continuing, in which case the Collateral Agent’s rights under this Section
5.2(ii)(B) shall cease to be effective, subject to revesting in the event of a
subsequent Event of Default that is continuing.
(iii) Each Pledgor shall, at its sole cost and expense, from time to time execute and deliver
to the Collateral Agent appropriate instruments as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in
order to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other rights which it may be
entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 5.2(ii)(A) and to receive all Distributions which
it may be entitled to receive under Section 5.2(ii)(B).
(iv) All Distributions that are received by any Pledgor contrary to the provisions of
Section 5.2(ii)(B) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent,
shall be segregated from the other funds of such Pledgor and shall immediately be paid over to the
Collateral Agent as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary or
reasonably requested endorsement).
SECTION 5.3 Default. As of the date hereof, such Pledgor is not in default in the payment of any
portion of any mandatory capital contribution, if any, required to be made under any agreement to
which such Pledgor is a party relating to the Pledged Securities pledged by it, and such Pledgor is
not in violation of any other provisions of any such agreement to which such Pledgor is a party, or
otherwise in default or violation thereunder. As of the date hereof, no
25
Securities Collateral
pledged by such Pledgor is subject to any defense, offset or counterclaim, nor have any of the
foregoing been asserted or alleged against such Pledgor by any person with respect thereto, and as
of the date hereof, there are no certificates, instruments, documents or other writings (other than
the Organizational Documents of such Pledgor and certificates, if any, delivered to the Collateral
Agent) which evidence any Pledged Securities of such Pledgor.
SECTION 5.4 Certain Agreements of Pledgors as Issuers and Holders of Equity Interests.
(i) In the case of each Pledgor that is an issuer of Securities Collateral, such Pledgor
agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Securities Collateral issued by
it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it.
(ii) In the case of each Pledgor that is a partner, member or holder of any Equity Interests
in a partnership, limited liability company or other entity, such Pledgor hereby consents to the
extent required by the applicable Organizational Documents of such Pledgor to the pledge by each
other Pledgor, pursuant to the terms hereof, of the Pledged Interests in such partnership, limited
liability company or other entity and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, to the transfer of such Pledged Interests to the Collateral Agent or its nominee and to
the substitution of the Collateral Agent or its nominee as a substituted partner, member or holder
of Equity Interests in such partnership, limited liability company or other entity with all the
rights, powers and duties of a general partner, a limited partner, member or holder of Equity
Interests, as the case may be.

operation of the Pledged Collateral or the Mortgaged Property and (iii) no proceedings have been
instituted or are pending against such Pledgor or, to such Pledgor’s knowledge, threatened, and no

SECTION 6.5 Protection of Collateral Agent’s Security. On a continuing basis, each Pledgor shall, at
its sole cost and expense, (i) promptly following its becoming aware thereof, notify the Collateral
Agent of (A) any materially adverse determination in any proceeding in the United States Patent and
Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office with respect to any material Patent,
Trademark or Copyright material to the use and operation of the Pledged Collateral or any Mortgage

written threat of levy or any legal process against such Intellectual Property Collateral owned or

Collateral other than licenses entered into by such Pledgor in, or incidental to, the ordinary
course of business, or amend or permit the amendment of any of the licenses in a manner that
materially and adversely affects the right to receive payments thereunder, or in any manner that
would materially impair the value of such Intellectual Property Collateral or the Lien on and
security interest in such Intellectual Property Collateral intended to be granted to the Collateral
Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, without the consent of the Collateral Agent,
(vi) diligently keep adequate records
27
respecting such Intellectual Property Collateral and (vii)

SECTION 6.6 After-Acquired Property. If any Pledgor shall, at any time before the Secured Obligations
have been paid and performed in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations that,

such item enumerated in clause (i) or (ii) of this sentence with respect to such Pledgor shall
automatically constitute Intellectual Property
Collateral if such would have constituted Intellectual Property Collateral at the time of execution
hereof and be subject to the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement without further
action by any party (excluding any Intellectual Property Collateral that constitutes Excluded
Property). Each Pledgor shall promptly (i) provide to the Collateral Agent written notice of any
of the foregoing and (ii) confirm the attachment of the Lien and security interest created by this
Agreement to any rights described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence of
this Section 6.6 by execution of an instrument in form reasonably acceptable to the

or reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to preserve, protect or perfect the Collateral
Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual Property Collateral to the extent such security
interest in such Intellectual Property Collateral may be perfected under applicable Legal
Requirements, including the filing of a security agreement or amendments or assignments thereto
with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office. Further,
each Pledgor authorizes the Collateral Agent to modify this Agreement by amending Schedules

shall have the right to commence and prosecute in its own name, as the party in interest, for its
own benefit and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, such applications for protection of
the Intellectual Property Collateral and suits, proceedings or other actions to prevent the
infringement, counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution, diminution in value or other damage as
are necessary to protect the Intellectual Property Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, but shall in no way
be obligated, to file applications for protection of the Intellectual Property Collateral and/or
bring suit in the name of any Pledgor, the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties to enforce the
Intellectual Property Collateral and any license thereunder. In the event of such suit, each
Pledgor shall, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and
execute any and all documents reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent in aid of such
enforcement and the Pledgors shall promptly reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent for all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in the
28
exercise of its rights under
this Section 6.7 in accordance with Section 11.03 of the Credit Agreement. In the
event that the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring such suit to enforce the Intellectual
Property Collateral, each Pledgor agrees, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, to
take all actions necessary, whether by suit, proceeding or other action, to prevent the
infringement, counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution, diminution in value of or other damage
to any of the Intellectual Property Collateral by others and for that purpose agrees to diligently
maintain any suit, proceeding or other action against any person so infringing necessary to prevent
such infringement.
SECTION 6.8 Intent-to-Use Trademark and Service Xxxx Applications. In connection with any
intent-to-use trademark or service xxxx applications whether listed on Schedule 14(b) to the
Perfection Certificate or otherwise, the Pledgors shall file a bona fide statement of use and shall
take such other actions or steps as shall be required by the United States Patent and Trademark
Office, to entitle such application to registration within 10 Business
Days following the date of first use in commerce of the xxxx that is the subject of such
application. Upon acceptance of such bona fide statement of use by the United States Patent and
Trademark Office, such application shall automatically become subject to the security interest
granted herein. The Pledgors shall execute any further documents and instruments as the Collateral
Agent reasonably may deem necessary or appropriate to confirm, implement, or enforce the Collateral
Agent’s security interest in such applications. If the Pledgors fail to execute such further
documents and instruments within 5 Business Days of presentment, the Collateral Agent may, in the
name of, and on behalf of, the Pledgors, execute such documents and instruments and make
appropriate disposition of same, and the Pledgors hereby irrevocably appoint the Collateral Agent
as their lawful attorney-in-fact with full power to do so. The foregoing power of attorney is
coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof.

SECTION 7.1 Special Representation and Warranties. As of the time when each of its Accounts arises,
each Pledgor shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such Account and all records,
papers and documents relating thereto (i) are genuine and correct and in all material respects what
they purport to be, subject to ordinary course accounts receivable adjustments and refunds, (ii) to
the Pledgor’s knowledge, represent the legal, valid and binding obligation of the account debtor,
except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles
relating to enforceability, evidencing indebtedness unpaid and owed by such account debtor, arising
out of the performance of labor or services or the sale, lease, license, assignment or other
disposition and delivery of the goods or other property listed therein or out of an advance or a
loan, (iii) will, in the case of an Account, except for the original or duplicate original invoice

complete records of each Account, in a manner consistent with its customary business practice,
including records of all payments received, all credits granted thereon, all merchandise returned
and all other documentation relating thereto. Each Pledgor shall, at such Pledgor’s sole cost and
expense, upon the Collateral Agent’s demand made at any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, deliver all tangible evidence of Accounts, including all
documents evidencing Accounts and any books and records relating thereto to the Collateral Agent or
to its representatives (copies of which evidence and books and records may be retained by such
Pledgor). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral
Agent may transfer a full and complete copy of any Pledgor’s books, records, credit information,
reports, memoranda and all other writings relating to the Accounts to and for the
use by any person that has acquired or is contemplating acquisition of an interest in the Accounts
or the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein without the consent of any Pledgor, but subject
at all times to Section 11.12 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 7.3 Legend. At the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent and in form and manner
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, at any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, each Pledgor shall legend the Accounts to the extent
represented or evidenced by a written instrument and the other books, records and documents of such
Pledgor evidencing or pertaining to the Accounts with an appropriate reference to the fact that (i)
the Accounts have been assigned for collateral purposes to the Collateral Agent for the ratable
benefit of the Secured Parties and that the Collateral Agent has a security interest therein and
(ii) with respect to Medicare/Medicaid Account Debtors, each Pledgor has waived any and all
defenses and counterclaims it may have or could interpose in any such action or procedure brought
by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to obtain a court order recognizing the collateral
assignment or security interest and Lien of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents
in and to any Account or other Pledged Collateral and that the Collateral Agent and/or the Secured
Parties may seek to obtain (x) the consent of the applicable Medicare/Medicaid Account Debtor(s) to
recognize, or (y) a court order recognizing, the collateral assignment or security interest and
Lien of the Collateral Agent in and to all Accounts and other Pledged Collateral payable by
Medicare/Medicaid Account Debtors.
SECTION 7.4 Modification of Terms, etc. No Pledgor shall rescind or cancel any obligations evidenced

ordinary course of business, or extend or renew any such obligations except in the ordinary course
of business or compromise or settle any dispute, claim, suit or legal proceeding relating thereto
or sell any Account or interest therein except in the ordinary course of business; in each case,
without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.
SECTION 7.5 Collection. Each Pledgor shall cause to be collected from the account debtor of each of
the Accounts, as and when due in the ordinary course of business and consistent with its customary
business practice (including Accounts that are delinquent, such Accounts to be collected in
accordance with generally accepted commercial collection procedures), any and all amounts owing
under or on account of such Account, and apply forthwith upon receipt thereof all such amounts as
are so collected to the outstanding balance of such Account, except that any Pledgor may, with
respect to an Account, allow in the ordinary
30
course of business (i) accounts receivable adjustments
or refunds and (ii) such extensions of time to pay amounts due in respect of Accounts and such
other modifications of payment terms or settlements in respect of Accounts as shall be commercially
reasonable in the circumstances, all in accordance with such Pledgor’s ordinary course of business
consistent with its collection practices as in effect from time to time and in compliance with
applicable Legal Requirements. The costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of collection,
in any case, whether incurred by any Pledgor, the Collateral Agent or any
Secured Party, shall be paid by the Pledgors. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit any Pledgor
from writing off bad debt in the ordinary course of business, consistent with its customary
business practice. The Loan Parties acknowledge that the Collateral Management Agreement provides
for the application of all collections on Accounts and reference to such Collateral management is
incorporated herein.
ARTICLE VIII
REMEDIES
SECTION 8.1 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the
Collateral Agent may from time to time exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in addition
to the other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, the following
remedies:
(i) Personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the Pledged
Collateral or any part thereof, from any Pledgor or any other person who then has possession of any
part thereof with or without notice or process of law (other than Pledged Collateral consisting of
Accounts owed or owing by Medicare/Medicaid Account Debtors to any Pledgor, absent a court order or
compliance with applicable Legal Requirements), and for that purpose, subject to Section 5.07 of
the Credit Agreement, may enter upon any Pledgor’s premises where any of the Pledged Collateral is
located, remove such Pledged Collateral, remain present at such premises to receive copies of all
communications and remittances relating to the Pledged Collateral and use in connection with such
removal and possession any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of any Pledgor;
(ii) Demand, xxx for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or
receivable in respect of the Pledged Collateral including instructing the obligor or obligors on
any agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting part of the Pledged Collateral to make
any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the
Collateral Agent (other than Pledged Collateral consisting of Accounts owed or owing by
Medicare/Medicaid Account Debtors to any Pledgor, absent a court order or compliance with
applicable Legal Requirements), and in connection with any of the foregoing, compromise, settle,
extend the time for payment and make other modifications with respect thereto; provided, however,
that in the event that any such payments are made directly to any Pledgor, such Pledgor shall
segregate all amounts received pursuant thereto in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent
and shall promptly (but in no event later than one Business Day after receipt thereof) pay such
amounts to the Collateral Agent;
(iii) Subject to clause (ix) below, Section 8.2 and Section 8.4, sell, assign,
grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, or direct any Pledgor to sell, assign, grant a
31
license to use or otherwise liquidate, any and all investments made in whole or in part with the
Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale,
assignment, license or liquidation;
(iv) Take possession of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, by directing any Pledgor
in writing to deliver the same to the Collateral Agent at any place or places so designated by the
Collateral Agent, in which event such Pledgor shall at its own expense: (A) forthwith cause the
same to be moved to the place or places designated by the Collateral Agent and therewith delivered
to the Collateral Agent, (B) store and keep any Pledged Collateral so delivered to the Collateral
Agent at such place or places pending further action by the Collateral Agent and (C) while the
Pledged Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such security and maintenance services as
shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain them in good and marketable
condition. Each Pledgor’s obligation to deliver the Pledged Collateral as contemplated in this
Section 8.1(iv) is of the essence hereof. Upon application to a court of equity having
jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to decree requiring specific performance by
any Pledgor of such obligation;
(v) Withdraw all moneys, instruments, securities and other property in any bank, financial
securities, deposit or other account of any Pledgor constituting Pledged Collateral (other than
Pledged Collateral consisting of Accounts owed or owing by Medicare/Medicaid Account Debtors to any
Pledgor, absent a court order or compliance with applicable Legal Requirements);
(vi) To the extent permitted under Section 5.2(ii)(B), retain and apply the
Distributions to the Secured Obligations as provided in Article IX hereof;
(vii) Exercise any and all rights as beneficial and legal owner of the Pledged Collateral,
including perfecting assignment of and exercising any and all voting, consensual and other rights
and powers with respect to any Pledged Collateral (other than Pledged Collateral consisting of
Accounts owed or owing by Medicare/Medicaid Account Debtors to any Pledgor, absent a court order or
compliance with applicable Legal Requirements);
(viii) (A) Seek to obtain the consent of the applicable Medicare/Medicaid Account Debtor(s) to
recognize and permit the enforcement of, (B) comply with applicable Health Care Laws necessary for
the recognition and enforcement of, or (C) seek to obtain an Order from a court of competent
jurisdiction recognizing and permitting the enforcement of, the collateral assignment or security
interest and Lien of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents in and to all Accounts
and other Pledged Collateral payable by Medicaid/Medicare Account Debtors; and
(ix) All the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not
the UCC applies to the affected Pledged Collateral) (other than with respect to any Pledged
Collateral consisting of Accounts owed or owing by Medicare/Medicaid Account Debtors to any
Pledgor, absent a court order or compliance with applicable Legal Requirements), and the Collateral
Agent may also in its sole discretion, without notice except as specified in Section 8.2,
sell, assign, transfer or grant a license to use the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one
or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board
32
or at any of the
Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such
price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable.
The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or any of their respective Affiliates may be the
purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the
Pledged Collateral at any such sale and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and
making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral
sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations owed to
such person as a credit on account of the purchase price of any Pledged Collateral payable by such
person at such sale. Each purchaser, assignee, licensee or recipient at any such sale shall
acquire the property sold, assigned or licensed absolutely free from any claim or right on the part
of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal
Requirements, all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal that it now has or may at any time in
the future have under any Legal Requirement now existing or hereafter enacted. The Collateral
Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale
having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time
by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be
made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, any claims against the Collateral Agent
arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Pledged Collateral may have been sold,
assigned or licensed at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained
at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer
such Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree.
SECTION 8.2 Notice of Sale. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or
other disposition of Pledged Collateral shall be required by any Legal Requirement, 10 days prior
notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any
private sale or other intended disposition is to take place shall be commercially reasonable
notification of such matters unless the Pledged Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline
speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market (in which case no such
prior notice shall be required). No notification need be given to any Pledgor if it has signed,
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, a statement renouncing or modifying any right to
notification of sale or other intended disposition.
SECTION 8.3 Waiver of Notice and Claims; Other Waivers; Marshalling.
(i) Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal
Requirements, notice of judicial hearing in connection with the Collateral Agent’s taking
possession or the Collateral Agent’s disposition of any of the Pledged Collateral, including any
and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies and any such right which
such Pledgor would otherwise have under any Legal Requirement, and each Pledgor hereby further
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements (i) all damages occasioned
by such taking of possession, (ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale
or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder
and (iii) all rights of redemption, appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or
hereafter in force under any applicable Legal Requirements. The Collateral Agent shall not be
liable for any incorrect or improper payment made pursuant to this Article VIII except to
the extent resulting solely from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or
33
willful misconduct as finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any sale
of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Pledged Collateral
shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity,
of the applicable Pledgor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in
equity or otherwise against such Pledgor and against any and all persons claiming or attempting to
claim the Pledged Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through
or under such Pledgor.
(ii) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, each Pledgor hereby
waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of Credit
Extensions, Pledged Collateral received or delivered or any other action taken in reliance hereon
and all other demands and notices of any description.
(iii) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral
security (including the Pledged Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured
Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment
in any particular order. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, (A)
each Pledgor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any Legal Requirement relating to the
marshalling of collateral and (B) hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such Legal
Requirements.
(iv) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, each Pledgor hereby
waives any and all defenses and counterclaims it may have or could interpose in any such action or
procedure brought by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to obtain an Order
recognizing, and permitting the enforcement of, the collateral assignment or security interest and
Lien of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents in and to any Account or other
Pledged Collateral and acknowledges that the Collateral Agent and/or the Secured Parties may (i)
seek to obtain the consent of the applicable Medicare/Medicaid Account Debtor(s) to recognize, (ii)
comply with any Legal Requirements necessary for the recognition of, or (iii) seek to obtain an
Order recognizing, the collateral assignment or security interest and Lien of the Collateral Agent
pursuant to the Security Documents in and to all Accounts and other Pledged Collateral payable by
Medicare/Medicaid Account Debtors.
SECTION 8.4 Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies. To the extent that applicable Legal
Requirements impose duties on the Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially
reasonable manner, each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable
for the Collateral Agent, in the exercise of such remedies in accordance with all other terms
hereof, (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Collateral Agent to
prepare Pledged Collateral for disposition or otherwise to fail to complete raw material or work in
process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain
third party consents for access to Pledged Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not
required by other Legal Requirements, to fail to obtain consents for Governmental Authorities or
third parties for the collection or disposition of Pledged Collateral to be collected or disposed
of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons
obligated on Pledged Collateral or to fail to remove
liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Pledged Collateral, (iv) to exercise
34
collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Pledged Collateral
directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, subject to
their compliance with applicable Legal Requirements, (v) to advertise dispositions of Pledged
Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Pledged
Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same
business as any Pledgor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Pledged
Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of
Pledged Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of
Pledged Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types
included in the Pledged Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that
match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail
markets, (x) to disclaim or modify disposition warranties, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit
enhancements to insure the Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of
Pledged Collateral or to provide to the Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or
disposition of Pledged Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral
Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other
professionals to assist the Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Pledged
Collateral. The Pledgors acknowledge that the purpose of this Section 8.4 is to provide
non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent would fulfill the
Collateral Agent’s duties under the UCC or other Legal Requirement of the State or any other
relevant jurisdiction in the Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Pledged Collateral
and that other actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill
such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8.4. Without limiting
the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.4 shall be construed to grant any rights
to any Pledgor or to impose any duties on the Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or
imposed by this Agreement or by applicable Legal Requirements in the absence of this Section
8.4.
SECTION 8.5 Certain Sales of Pledged Collateral.
(i) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in Legal
Requirements, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of
the Pledged Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who meet the requirements of a Governmental
Authority. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such sales may be at prices and on terms less
favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such
restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such restricted sale shall
be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that, except as may be required
by applicable Legal Requirements, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public
sales.
(ii) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and applicable state securities’
laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale or disposition of all or any
part of the Securities Collateral and Investment Property, to limit purchasers to
persons who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Securities Collateral or
Investment Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution
or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on
terms
35
less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without
such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the
Securities Act), and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall
be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall
have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Securities
Collateral or Investment Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to
register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under
applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Pledgor shall, upon the occurrence and during the
continuing of any Event of Default, at the request of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, cause any registration, qualification under or compliance
with any federal or state securities law or laws to be effected with respect to all or any part of
the Securities Collateral as soon as practicable and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors.
Each Pledgor will cause such registration to be effected (and be kept effective) and cause such
qualification and compliance to be effected (and be kept effective) as may be so requested and as
would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of such Securities Collateral including
registration under the Securities Act (or any similar statute then in effect), appropriate
qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance
with all other requirements of any Governmental Authority. Each Pledgor shall cause the Collateral
Agent to be kept advised in writing as to the progress of each such registration, qualification or
compliance and as to the completion thereof, shall furnish to the Collateral Agent such number of
prospectuses, offering circulars or other documents incident thereto as the Collateral Agent from
time to time may request, and shall indemnify and shall cause the issuer of the Securities
Collateral to indemnify the Collateral against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities caused
by any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained therein (or in
any related registration statement, notification or the like) or by any omission (or alleged
omission) to state therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
materially misleading.
(iv) If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the
Securities Collateral or Investment Property, upon written request, the applicable Pledgor shall,
and shall cause each issuer of Securities Collateral and Investment Property to be sold hereunder
to, from time to time furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent
may reasonably request in order to determine the number and nature or interest, of securities or
other instruments included in the Securities Collateral or Investment Property which may be sold by
the Collateral Agent as exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.
(v) Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this
Section 8.5 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and other Secured
Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the other 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 8.5 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and such
Pledgor hereby
36
waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific
performance of such covenants.
SECTION 8.6 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.
(i) No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, no course of dealing with
respect to, and no delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in exercising, any right, power or
remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, power or remedy; nor shall the Collateral Agent be required to look
first to, enforce or exhaust any other security, collateral or guaranties. The remedies herein
provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by applicable Legal
Requirements, in equity or otherwise.
(ii) In the event that the Collateral Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce
any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such
proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined
adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case, the Pledgors, the Collateral Agent
and each other Secured Party shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights
hereunder with respect to the Pledged Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of the
Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall continue as if no such proceeding had been
instituted.
SECTION 8.7 Certain Additional Actions Regarding Intellectual Property. If any Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, upon the written demand of the Collateral Agent, each Pledgor
shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an assignment or assignments of the registered
Intellectual Property Collateral or such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry
out the intent and purposes hereof; provided, however, that if the Event of Default is no longer
continuing, the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to each Pledgor such
reassignments or other documents necessary to place such Pledgors in control and ownership of such
Intellectual Property Collateral.

actions required by the Credit Agreement with respect to any Net Cash Proceeds of any Casualty
Event or from the sale or disposition of any Pledged Collateral.
SECTION 9.2 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or

Agent pursuant to this Agreement, in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 10.1 Concerning Collateral Agent.
(i) The Collateral Agent has been appointed as Collateral Agent pursuant to the Credit
Agreement. The actions of the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the
Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give
notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking
action (including the release or substitution of the Pledged Collateral), in accordance with this
Agreement and the Credit Agreement. Each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof,
agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Pledged Collateral
hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies
hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Collateral
Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be liable
for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good
faith, excepting therefrom, however, their gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Collateral
Manager shall be deemed an agent of the Collateral Agent for the purposes of giving effect to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable, under any
circumstances, for the negligence (including gross negligence) or misconduct (including willful
misconduct) of the Collateral Manager. The Collateral Agent may resign and a successor Collateral
Agent may be appointed in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as the Collateral Agent by a successor Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral
Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of the retiring Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring Collateral Agent
shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any
retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation, the provisions hereof shall inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was the Collateral Agent.
(ii) Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Pledged Collateral in
its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral
Agent shall have no duty as to any Pledged Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to
preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral.
The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and
preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Collateral Agent, in its individual capacity,
accords its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests; provided that neither the
Collateral Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties nor any of their respective directors,
officers, employees or agents shall have responsibility for (x) ascertaining or taking action with
respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any
Securities Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has or is
deemed to have knowledge of such matters (y) failing to demand, collect or realize upon all or any
part of the Pledged Collateral or for any delay in doing so or (z) failing to
38
take any necessary
steps to preserve rights against any person with respect to any Pledged Collateral.
(iii) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice, statement,
certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person, and, with respect to all
matters pertaining to this Agreement and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by
it.
(iv) If any item of Pledged Collateral also constitutes collateral granted to the Collateral
Agent under any other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any
type, in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such other
deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type in respect of such
collateral, the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, shall select which provision or
provisions shall control.
SECTION 10.2 Collateral Agent May Perform; Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. If
any Pledgor shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this Agreement (including such
Pledgor’s covenants to (i) pay the premiums in respect of all required insurance policies
hereunder, (ii) pay Charges, (iii) make repairs or (iv) discharge Liens or pay or perform any
obligations of such Pledgor under any Pledged Collateral) or if any representation or warranty on
the part of any Pledgor contained herein shall be breached, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not
be obligated to), at the Pledgors’ expense, do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such
breach, and may expend funds for such purpose; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall
in no event be bound to inquire into the validity of any tax, lien, imposition or other obligation
which such Pledgor fails to pay or perform as and when required hereby and which such Pledgor does
not contest in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.12. Any and all amounts so
expended by the Collateral Agent shall be paid by the Pledgors in accordance with the provisions of
Section 11.03 of the Credit Agreement. Neither the provisions of this Section 10.2
nor any action taken by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section
10.2 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this Agreement nor any
breach of representation or warranty from constituting an Event of Default. Each Pledgor hereby
appoints the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of
such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral
Agent’s reasonable discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the
terms of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which the Collateral
Agent reasonably may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof. The foregoing
grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be
irrevocable for the term hereof. Each Pledgor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall
lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
SECTION 10.3 Continuing Security Interest; Assignment. This Agreement created and shall
continue in the same force and effect a continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral in
favor of the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and shall (i) be
binding upon the Pledgors, their respective successors and assigns and (ii) inure, together with
the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent
and the other Secured Parties and each of their respective successors, transferees and
39
assigns. No
other persons (including any other creditor of any Pledgor) shall have any interest herein or any
right or benefit with respect hereto (except for Permitted Liens). Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing clause (ii), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any obligations
held by it and secured by this Agreement to any other person, and such other person shall thereupon
become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party, herein or
otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and any Hedging Agreement.
SECTION 10.4 Termination; Release. This Agreement shall terminate and the Pledged
Collateral shall be released from the Lien of this Agreement when the Commitments have been
terminated and the principal of and interest and premium (if any) on each Loan, all Fees and all
other expenses or amounts payable under
any Loan Document shall have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations
that, pursuant to the provisions of the Credit Agreement of the Security Documents, survive the
termination thereof) and all Letters of Credit have been canceled or have expired and all amounts
drawn thereunder have been reimbursed in full. Upon termination hereof, the security interests
granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Pledged Collateral shall revert to the
applicable Pledgor or to such other person as may be entitled thereto pursuant to any Order or
other applicable Legal Requirement. Upon termination hereof or any release of Pledged Collateral
in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and
in any event within 10 Business Days), upon the written request and at the sole cost and expense of
the Pledgors, assign, transfer and deliver to the Pledgors, against receipt and without recourse to
or warranty by the Collateral Agent, except that the Collateral Agent has not assigned or otherwise
transferred its security interest in the Pledged Collateral, such of the Pledged Collateral to be
released (in the case of a release) as may be in possession or control of the Collateral Agent and
as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof and the other
Transaction Documents, and, with respect to any other Pledged Collateral, proper documents and
instruments (including UCC-3 termination statements or releases) acknowledging the termination
hereof or the release of such Pledged Collateral, as the case may be. If at any time any payment
(in whole or in part) of any Secured Obligations is invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside, rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Secured Party, this
Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, all as though such
payment had not been made.
SECTION 10.5 Modification in Writing. No amendment, modification, supplement, termination
or waiver of or to any provision hereof, nor consent to any departure by any Pledgor therefrom,
shall be effective unless the same shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Credit
Agreement and unless in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent. Any amendment, modification or
supplement of or to any provision hereof, any waiver of any provision hereof and any consent to any
departure by any Pledgor from the terms of any provision hereof shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. Except where notice is
specifically required by this Agreement, no notice to or demand on any Pledgor in any case shall
entitle any Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
SECTION 10.6 Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein or in the Credit Agreement, any
notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be
40
delivered to such
addresses and given in the manner and become effective as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different
parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be

Agreement ends or falls on a day other than a Business Day, then such time period shall be deemed
to end and such date shall be deemed to fall on the next succeeding Business Day, and performance

day.
SECTION 10.11 Waiver of Stay. Each Pledgor covenants that in the event that such Pledgor
or any property or assets of such Pledgor shall hereafter become the subject of a voluntary or

relating to the automatic stay under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision in
any such Legal Requirement is applicable, then, in any such case, whether or not the Collateral
Agent has commenced foreclosure proceedings under this Agreement, such Pledgor shall not, and each
Pledgor hereby expressly waives its right to (to the extent it may lawfully do so) at any time
insist upon, plead or in any whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any such
automatic stay or such similar provision as it relates to the

remedies (including any foreclosure proceedings) available to the Collateral Agent as provided in
this Agreement, in any other Security Document or any other document evidencing the Secured
Obligations. Each Pledgor further covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the
execution of any power granted herein to the Collateral Agent, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no law relating to any stay or similar provision had been
enacted.

to any credit against the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable under the Credit
Agreement, and such Pledgor shall not be entitled to any credit against any other sums which may
become payable under the terms thereof or hereof, by reason of the payment of any Tax on the
Pledged Collateral or any part thereof.
SECTION 10.13 No Claims Against Collateral Agent. Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall constitute any consent or request by the Collateral Agent, express or implied, for the

respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, nor as giving any Pledgor any right, power
or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing
of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against
the Collateral Agent in respect thereof or any claim that any Lien based on the performance of such
labor or services or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior to the Lien
hereof.
SECTION 10.14 No Release. Nothing set forth in this Agreement shall relieve any Pledgor
from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Pledgor’s part to be
performed or observed under or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral or from any liability to
any person under or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral or shall impose any obligation on
the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to perform or observe any such term, covenant,
condition or agreement on such Pledgor’s part to be so performed or observed or shall impose any
liability on the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for any act or omission on the part of
such Pledgor relating thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of
such Pledgor contained in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or
under or in respect of the Pledged Collateral or made in connection herewith or therewith. The
obligations of each Pledgor contained in this Section 10.14 shall survive the termination
hereof and the discharge of such Pledgor’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than contingent indemnification obligations that,
pursuant to the provisions of the Credit Agreement or the Security Documents, survive the
termination thereof).
SECTION 10.15 Overdue Amounts. Until paid, all amounts due and payable under this
Agreement shall constitute Secured Obligations and shall bear interest, whether before or after
judgment, at the Default Rate. Nothing in this Section 10.15 shall affect the Default Rate
or the circumstances in which the Default Rate is payable pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 10.16 Obligations Absolute. All obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
43

liquidation or the like of any Pledgor;

instrument relating thereto against any Pledgor;

any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure
from any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(iv) any pledge, exchange, release or non-perfection or loss of priority of any other
collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any
guarantee, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;
(v) any exercise, non-exercise or waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in
respect hereof, or any Loan Document; or
(vi) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a waiveable defense available
to, or a discharge of, any Pledgor.
SECTION 10.17 Amendment and Restatement. On the date hereof, the Original Security
Agreement is hereby amended, restated and superseded in its entirety by this Agreement. The
parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed
and delivered in connection herewith do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing, or
termination of the “Obligations” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or the “Secured Obligations”
under the Original Security Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) such “Obligations”
and “Secured Obligations” are in all respects continuing (as amended and restated on the date
hereof by this Agreement and by the Credit Agreement) and (iii) the security interests and Liens
granted under the Original Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents are in all respects
continuing and in full force and effect and are hereby fully ratified and affirmed in favor of the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Without limitation of the foregoing, each

Agreement. The New Pledgor hereby agrees to be bound as a Guarantor and as a Pledgor by all of the

would have been bound if it had been a signatory to the Security Agreement on the execution date of
the Security Agreement. The New Pledgor also hereby agrees to be bound as a party by all of the
terms, covenants and conditions applicable to it set forth in the Credit Agreement to the same
extent that it would have been bound if it had been a signatory to the Credit Agreement on the
execution date of the Credit Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the New
Pledgor hereby grants and pledges to the Collateral Agent, as collateral security for the full,
prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration
or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations, a Lien on and security interest in, all of its right,
title and interest in, to and under the Pledged Collateral and expressly assumes all obligations
and liabilities of a Guarantor under the Credit Agreement and a Pledgor under the Security
Agreement. The New Pledgor hereby makes each of the representations and warranties and agrees to

Documents.
