WHEREAS:

(A) The Existing Security Agreement provides for an assignment, pledge and grant of a security interest in certain collateral in favor of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as collateral agent for the benefit of the Noteholders (as that term is defined therein), the Trustee and for the benefit of the Lender Creditors, the Other Creditors and Additional First Lien Creditors (as each term is defined therein) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as administrative agent;

(B) In connection with the repayment of that certain Credit Agreement (the “DB Credit Agreement”), dated as of June 16, 2000, among Borrower, the lenders party thereto in their capacities as lenders and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as administrative agent, the Borrower has entered into that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (including all annexes, exhibits and schedules thereto, and as from time to time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among Grantors and General Electric Capital Corporation, in its capacity as Agent for itself and Lenders from time to time party to the Credit Agreement (the “Agent”);

(D) There are no Other Obligations (as defined in the Existing Security Agreement) or Additional First Lien Obligations (as defined in the Existing Security Agreement) outstanding on the date hereof and the Grantors desire that Additional First Lien Obligations (as defined in the Existing Security Agreement) no longer be secured hereby;

(E) The Grantors, Agent, Trustee and Collateral Agent have entered into that certain Intercreditor Agreement (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”) dated as of the date hereof, to establish the priority of the Senior Lender’s security interests in Grantors’ assets; and

(F) The Trustee and Collateral Agent are, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, required to amend and restate the Existing Security Agreement to provide for the subordination of their security interests to that of the Agent under that certain Security Agreement (the “Senior Security Agreement”), dated the date hereof, among Borrower, the other parties named therein as Grantors and the Agent.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree to amend and restate the Existing Security Agreement as follows:

pledge, for the account of such Grantor, or as to which such Grantor may have any right or power.

of competent jurisdiction. All such obligations of each Grantor shall be and remain enforceable against and only against such Grantor and shall not be enforceable against Collateral Agent, Trustee and Noteholders.

(e) Compliance with Terms of Accounts, etc. In all material respects, such Grantor will perform and comply with all obligations in respect of the Collateral and all other agreements to which it is a party or by which it is bound relating to the Collateral.

(i) Notices. Such Grantor will advise Collateral Agent promptly, in reasonable detail (i) of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) or claim made or asserted against any of the Collateral, and (ii) of the occurrence of any other event which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the aggregate value of the Collateral or on the Liens created hereunder or under any other Security Document.

(j) Good Standing Certificates. Not less frequently than once during each calendar year, such Grantor shall, unless Collateral Agent shall otherwise consent (which consent may be revoked), provide to Collateral Agent a certificate of good standing from its state of incorporation or organization.

(k) Organizational/Collateral Location Changes; No Reincorporation. Such Grantor will give Collateral Agent prior written notice of any change required to be made to Schedule IIIA, Schedule IIIB, Schedule IIIC, Schedule IIID, Schedule IIIE, Schedule IIIF or Schedule IIIG. Without limiting the prohibitions on mergers involving any Grantor as contained in the Indenture, none of the Grantors shall reincorporate or reorganize itself under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or organized as of the date hereof without 30 days prior written notice to Collateral Agent.

(l) Terminations; Amendments Not Authorized. Such Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with

respect to any financing statement without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent and agrees that it will not do so without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent, subject to such Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the Code.

(m) Authorized Terminations. Collateral Agent will promptly deliver to such Grantor for filing or authorize such Grantor to prepare and file termination statements and releases in accordance with Section 10.10 of the Indenture.

6. BANK ACCOUNTS; COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS AND PAYMENTS

Prior to the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, each Grantor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a control agreement with each bank or financial institution holding a Deposit Account (other than a payroll account which is a zero balance account) for such Grantor establishing the Collateral Agent’s control within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the Code if such an agreement has been established for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders. Following the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, no Grantor shall establish any Deposit Account (other than a payroll account which is a zero balance account) with any bank or financial institution unless prior thereto Collateral Agent and such Grantor shall have entered into a control agreement satisfactory to Collateral Agent with such bank or financial institution. For the avoidance of doubt, no Grantor shall be obligated to enter into a lockbox agreement for the benefit of Collateral Agent, and any lockbox agreement of Grantor existing in favor of Agent shall not be for the benefit of Collateral Agent.

Subject to the foregoing and the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor hereby agrees that all payments received by Collateral Agent whether by cash, check, wire transfer or any other instrument, made to such Deposit Accounts or otherwise received by Collateral Agent and whether on the Accounts or as proceeds of other Collateral or otherwise will be the sole and exclusive property of Noteholders. Each Grantor, and any of its Affiliates, employees, agents and other Persons acting for or in concert with such Grantor shall, acting as trustee for Collateral Agent, receive, as the sole and exclusive property of Collateral Agent, Trustee and Noteholders, any moneys, checks, notes, drafts or other payments relating to and/or constituting proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral which come into the possession or under the control of such Grantor or any Affiliates, employees, agent, or other Persons acting for or in concert with such Grantor, and immediately upon receipt thereof, such Grantor or such Persons shall deposit the same or cause the same to be deposited in kind, in a Deposit Account or other account subject to a blocked account, lockbox or similar agreement satisfactory to Collateral Agent.

Following the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, each Grantor shall close each of its Deposit Accounts (and promptly establish replacement deposit accounts with a financial institution which has executed, or is willing to execute, a Bank Agency and Control Agreement) maintained with any financial institution which is the subject of a notice from Collateral Agent that the creditworthiness of such financial institution or any of its affiliates is no longer acceptable to Collateral Agent, or that the operating performance, funds transfer or availability procedures or performance with respect to any blocked account, lockbox or similar agreement of such financial institution is no longer acceptable in Collateral Agent’s reasonable judgment.

7. COLLATERAL AGENT’S APPOINTMENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT

On the Closing Date each Grantor shall execute and deliver to Collateral Agent a power of attorney (the “Power of Attorney”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The

power of attorney granted pursuant to the Power of Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Termination Date. The powers conferred on Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Trustee and Noteholders, under the Power of Attorney are solely to protect Collateral Agent’s interests (for the benefit of Trustee and Noteholders) in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers. Collateral Agent agrees that (a) except for the powers granted in clause (h) of the Power of Attorney, it shall not exercise any power or authority granted under the Power of Attorney unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) Collateral Agent shall account for any moneys received by Collateral Agent in respect of any foreclosure on or disposition of Collateral pursuant to the Power of Attorney provided that Collateral Agent shall not have any duty as to any Collateral, and Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers. NEITHER THE COLLATERAL AGENT NOR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO ANY GRANTOR FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, NOR FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. The Collateral Agent shall not exercise the power of attorney in a manner inconsistent with the Intercreditor Agreement.

8. REMEDIES: RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT

(a) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Agreement, the Indenture and under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Second Priority Lien Obligations, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Collateral Agent may, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that in any such event Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code and other applicable law), may forthwith (personally or through its agents) enter upon the premises where any Collateral is located through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving any Grantor or any other Person notice and opportunity for a hearing on Collateral Agent’s claim or action and may take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices as it may deem acceptable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Collateral Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of Trustee and Noteholders, the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption each Grantor hereby releases. Such sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time with or without notice. Collateral Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on each

Grantor’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use each Grantor’s premises without charge for such time or times as Collateral Agent deems necessary or advisable.

If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor further agrees, at Collateral Agent’s request, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Collateral Agent at a place or places designated by Collateral Agent which are reasonably convenient to Collateral Agent and such Grantor, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. Without limiting the foregoing, Collateral Agent shall, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, also have the right to require that each Grantor store and keep any Collateral pending further action by Collateral Agent, and while Collateral is so stored or kept, provide such guards and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain Collateral in good condition. Until Collateral Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, license or other disposition of Collateral, Collateral Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of any Grantor as against third parties with respect to Collateral while Collateral is in the possession of Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent may, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of Collateral Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of Trustee and Noteholders), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against Collateral Agent, Trustee and Noteholders arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Collateral Agent, Trustee or Noteholders as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Grantor agrees that ten (10) days prior notice by Collateral Agent of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters. Notwithstanding any such notice of sale, Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral. In connection with any sale, lease, license or other disposition of Collateral, Collateral Agent may disclaim any warranties that might arise in connection therewith and Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to provide any warranties at such time. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Second Priority Lien Obligations, including any attorneys’ fees or other expenses incurred by Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.

(b) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any Collateral.

(c) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Collateral Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Collateral Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be

collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity 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 disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8(c) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Collateral Agent would be commercially reasonable in Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Collateral Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8(c). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8(c) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 8(c).

(d) Collateral Agent shall not be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Second Priority Lien Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof. Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Second Priority Lien Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, and all of its and their rights hereunder or under any other Security Document shall be cumulative. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against Collateral Agent, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Agreement, or otherwise.

(e) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if the Collateral Agent collects any money pursuant to this Section 8, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First, to the Collateral Agent, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 28, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made by the Collateral Agent and the costs and expenses and collection, and

Second, to the Trustee for application and distribution in accordance with the Indenture.

9. GRANT OF LICENSE TO USE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL

For the purpose of enabling Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 8 hereof (including, without limiting the terms of Section 8 hereof, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral) at such time as Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Trustee and Noteholders, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof and an irrevocable license (exercisable without payment of rent or other compensation to such Grantor) to use and occupy all real estate owned or leased by such Grantor; provided, however, that if and to the extent that the grant of license to Collateral Agent would result in a violation of any agreements relating to the Intellectual Property or the real estate or cause any such agreement to be void or voidable, the license granted hereunder shall be deemed limited to only such license or rights as Grantors may be authorized to give without consent under such agreements without breaching or voiding such agreements.

10. LIMITATION ON COLLATERAL AGENT’S DUTY IN RESPECT OF COLLATERAL

Collateral Agent shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Collateral Agent shall not have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of Collateral Agent, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehousemen, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other agent or bailee selected by Collateral Agent in good faith.

11. REINSTATEMENT

This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Second Priority Lien Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Second Priority Lien Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the

Second Priority Lien Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

12. SURETYSHIP WAIVERS BY GRANTOR; OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE

(a) Except as expressly provided herein, each Grantor waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as Collateral Agent may deem advisable. Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon, nor as to the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof.

(b) All rights of Collateral Agent hereunder, the security interests and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Indenture, any Security Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Second Priority Lien Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Second Priority Lien Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Indenture, any other Security Document, or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from or any acceptance of partial payment thereon and or settlement, compromise or adjustment of any Second Priority Lien Obligation or of any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Second Priority Lien Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, such Grantor in respect of the Second Priority Lien Obligations or this Agreement.

13. EXPENSES AND ATTORNEY’S FEES

Without limiting any Grantor’s obligations under the Indenture or the other Security Documents, Grantors agree, jointly and severally, to promptly pay all fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with (a) protecting, storing, warehousing, appraising, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping the Collateral, (b) creating, perfecting, maintaining and enforcing Collateral Agent’s Liens and (c) collecting, enforcing, retaking, holding, preparing for disposition, processing and disposing of Collateral.

15. SEVERABILITY

The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability in any jurisdiction of any provision under the Indenture or this Agreement shall not affect or impair the remaining provisions in the Indenture or this Agreement.

16. NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES

Collateral Agent shall not, by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by Collateral Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Collateral Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that Collateral Agent would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of Collateral Agent or Trustee, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by Collateral Agent and each Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee (acting in accordance with the Indenture).

17. LIMITATION BY LAW

All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

18. TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT

Subject to Section 11 hereof, this Agreement shall terminate upon the Termination Date. Following the termination of this agreement, Collateral Agent shall, upon reasonable request, and at the sole cost and expense of Grantors, execute such termination statements and other releases (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent) with respect to security granted hereunder, and Collateral Agent shall at such time transfer any Instrument or Chattel Paper or other item of Collateral delivered to the Collateral Agent hereunder to the Grantors, without recourse and without representation of warranty.

19. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

This Agreement and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of such Grantor (including any debtor-in-possession on behalf of such Grantor) and shall, together with the rights and remedies of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Trustee and Noteholders, hereunder, inure to the benefit of Trustee and Noteholders, all future holders of any instrument evidencing any of the Second Priority Lien Obligations and their respective successors and permitted assigns except that Grantors may not assign any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the written consent of the Collateral Agent and Trustee (acting in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture) which assignment without such consent shall be void. No sales of participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Second Priority Lien Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Trustee and Noteholders, hereunder.

20. COUNTERPARTS

This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements 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 deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall constitute but one in the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto.

21. GOVERNING LAW

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES WHICH SHALL BE DEEMED NOT TO INCLUDE SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

(b) EACH GRANTOR HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN NEW YORK COUNTY, STATE OF NEW YORK AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT, SUBJECT TO COLLATERAL AGENT’S ELECTION, ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENTS SHALL BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURTS. EACH GRANTOR EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS. EACH

GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS AND AGREES THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE UPON SUCH GRANTOR BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, ADDRESSED TO SUCH GRANTOR, AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE TEN (10) DAYS AFTER THE SAME HAS BEEN POSTED. IN ANY LITIGATION, TRIAL, ARBITRATION OR OTHER DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENTS, ALL THEN CURRENT DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS OF GRANTORS, CREDIT PARTIES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE EMPLOYEES OR MANAGING AGENTS OF GRANTORS OR SUCH CREDIT PARTIES FOR PURPOSES OF ALL APPLICABLE LAW OR COURT RULES REGARDING THE PRODUCTION OF WITNESSES BY NOTICE FOR TESTIMONY (WHETHER IN A DEPOSITION, AT TRIAL OR OTHERWISE). GRANTORS AND CREDIT PARTIES AGREE THAT COLLATERAL AGENT’S OR TRUSTEE’S COUNSEL IN ANY SUCH DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING MAY EXAMINE ANY OF THESE INDIVIDUALS AS IF UNDER CROSS-EXAMINATION AND THAT ANY DISCOVERY DEPOSITION OF ANY OF THEM MAY BE USED IN THAT PROCEEDING AS IF IT WERE AN EVIDENCE DEPOSITION. GRANTORS AND CREDIT PARTIES IN ANY EVENT WILL USE ALL COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE EFFORTS TO PRODUCE IN ANY SUCH DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING, AT THE TIME AND IN THE MANNER REQUESTED BY COLLATERAL AGENT, ALL PERSONS, DOCUMENTS (WHETHER IN TANGIBLE, ELECTRONIC OR OTHER FORM) OR OTHER THINGS UNDER THEIR CONTROL AND RELATING TO THE DISPUTE.

22. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENTS. EACH GRANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, AND THAT COLLATERAL AGENT HAS RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENTS AND WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH GRANTOR WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT SUCH GRANTOR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF REVIEWING THIS JURY WAIVER WITH LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT SUCH GRANTOR KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS.

23. HEADINGS

Section and subsection headings are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purposes or be given substantive effect.

24. NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION

The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be

construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

25. ADVICE OF COUNSEL

Each of the parties represents to each other party hereto that it has discussed this Agreement and, specifically, the provisions of Section 21 and Section 22, with its counsel.

26. BENEFIT OF LIENS

All Liens granted or contemplated hereby shall be for the benefit of Collateral Agent, Trustee and Noteholders, and all proceeds or payments realized from Collateral in accordance herewith shall be applied to the Second Priority Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, Indenture and the Security Documents.

27. INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder, in each case in respect of any collateral constituting Noteholder Collateral (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) are subject in all respects to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern No failure to specify or preface any clause herein with the words “subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement” or words of like import shall be deemed to imply that any such clause or any right or remedy of the Collateral Agent hereunder is not subject in all respects to the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

28. COLLATERAL AGENCY

The Trustee hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Agent to act as the Collateral Agent under the Security Documents, and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of the Security Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The rights, duties and obligations of the Collateral Agent with respect to the Trustee and the Noteholders shall be identical to the rights, duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to the Noteholders as specified in Article 7 of the Indenture (including but not limited to Section 7.07 of the Indenture), mutatis mutandis. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any Security Document, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in the Security Documents, and no implied covenants, functions or responsibilities, fiduciary or otherwise, shall be read into any of the Security Documents or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any Security Document, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretionary rights or remedies under any of the Security Documents or give any consent under any of the Security Documents or enter into any agreement amending, modifying, supplementing or waiving any provision of any Security Document unless it shall have been directed to do so by the Trustee (with the consent of the Noteholders, to the extent required under the Indenture).

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this Agreement to be executed and delivered by its duly authorized officer as of the date first set forth above.

POWER OF ATTORNEY
