(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of Section 6.04 of the Credit Agreement that limit the rights of the Debtors to dispose of their property, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Debtor will be permitted to exploit, use, enjoy, protect, license, sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or take other actions with respect to the Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of the business of such Debtor. In furtherance of the foregoing, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, upon the request of any Debtor, execute and deliver any instruments, certificates or other documents, in the form so requested, that such Debtor shall have certified are appropriate (in its judgment) to allow it to take any action permitted above (including relinquishment of the license provided pursuant to clause (i) immediately above as to any specific Intellectual Property).

If any Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire a commercial tort claim in an amount estimated to exceed $250,000, such Debtor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing signed by such Debtor of the brief details thereof and grant to the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent.

(f) Securities Collateral.

(i) No Debtor shall take any action that would result in (A) the revocation of any election to treat any Securities Collateral as certificated securities, and (B) an election to treat as certificated securities any Securities Collateral that constitute uncertificated securities.

(ii) So long as Administrative Agent has not exercised remedies with respect to the Collateral under this Agreement or any other Loan Document upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Debtors reserve the right to exercise all voting and other rights, title and interest with respect to the Collateral (except as limited by the Loan Documents) and to receive all income, gains, profits, dividends and other distributions or payments from the Collateral whether non-cash dividends, cash, options, warrants, stock splits, reclassifications, rights, instruments or other investment property or other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such rights and interests (except as limited by the Loan Documents); provided that no vote shall be cast, right exercised or other action taken which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have, and in its discretion may exercise, the rights and remedies with respect to this Agreement as more particularly provided herein or in the Credit Agreement;

(b) each Debtor shall, upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, assemble Collateral owned by it (and not otherwise in the possession of the Administrative Agent) at such place or places, reasonably convenient to both the Administrative Agent and such Debtor, designated in such request;

(c) the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), without notice to any Debtor and at such times as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may determine, exercise any or all of Debtors’ rights in, to and under, or in any way connected to, the Collateral and the Administrative Agent shall otherwise have and may (but shall not be obligated to) exercise all of the rights, powers, privileges and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not said UCC is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights, powers, privileges and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights, powers, privileges and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including the right, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Administrative Agent were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and the Debtors agree to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right);

(d) the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) make any reasonable compromise or settlement it deems desirable with respect to any of the Collateral and may (but shall not be obligated to) extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise modify the terms, of all or any part of the Collateral;

-20-

performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of the time or place thereof except such notice as is required by applicable law and cannot be waived. If, pursuant to applicable law, prior notice of sale of the Collateral under this Section is required to be given to any Debtor, each Debtor hereby acknowledges that the minimum time required by such applicable law, or if no minimum time is specified, 10 days, shall be deemed a reasonable notice period. The Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party or anyone else may be the purchaser, lessee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of Debtors, any such demand, notice and right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned.

Upon any public or private sale the Administrative Agent shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. At any such sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale pursuant to any such notice. In case of any sale of all of any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent until the full selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall incur any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold, and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold pursuant to the provisions hereof. All cash proceeds of any such sale, and any other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for or applied then or at any time thereafter, in whole or in part, by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to the payment and satisfaction of the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 6.04;

(g) upon request of the Administrative Agent, each Debtor shall promptly notify (and each Debtor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent so to notify) each account debtor in respect of any Accounts or Instruments that such Collateral has been assigned to the Administrative Agent hereunder, and that any payments due or to become due in respect of such Collateral are to be made directly to the Administrative Agent;

-21-

(h) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to endorse, assign or otherwise transfer to or to register in the name of the Administrative Agent or any of its nominees or endorse for negotiation any or all of the Securities Collateral, without any indication that such Securities Collateral is subject to the Security Interests hereunder. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates representing or evidencing Securities Collateral for certificates of smaller or larger denominations;

(i) the Administrative Agent may vote or exercise any and all of the Debtors’ rights or powers incident to their ownership of the Securities Collateral, including any rights or powers to manage or control the Guarantors;

(j) the Administrative Agent may cause any action at law or suit in equity or other proceeding to be instituted and prosecuted to enforce any rights vested in it by this Agreement or by law or included in the Collateral, subject to the provisions and requirements hereof and thereof, or to aid in the exercise of any power herein or therein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder and sale under a judgment or decree in any judicial proceeding;

(k) in connection with any acceleration and foreclosure, the Administrative Agent may lawfully and peacefully take possession of the Collateral and lawfully and peacefully render it usable and repair and renovate the same, without, however, any obligation to do so, and lawfully and peacefully enter upon any location where the Collateral may be located for that purpose, control, manage, operate, rent and lease the Collateral, collect all rents and income from the Collateral and apply the same to reimburse the Secured Parties for any cost or expenses incurred hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents and to the payment or performance of any Debtor’s obligations hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, and apply the balance to the other Secured Obligations and any remaining excess balance to whomsoever is legally entitled thereto;

(l) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Administrative Agent may secure the appointment of a receiver for the Collateral or any part thereof;

(m) the Administrative Agent may lawfully and peacefully occupy any premises owned or leased by any Debtor where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to any Debtor in respect of such occupation;

(n) the Administrative Agent may give instructions to the issuer of any Securities Collateral that is an uncertificated security with respect to such uncertificated security.

Each Debtor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws, the Administrative Agent may be compelled, subject to the notice provision provided for in paragraph (f) of this Section 6.01, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral constituting a security (as such term is defined in

-22-

the Securities Act of 1933), to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Debtor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Administrative Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, 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 Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit any Debtor or the issuer thereof to register it for public sale.

6.02 Deficiency. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral by virtue of the exercise of remedies under Section 6.01 are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such exercise and the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent shall retain all rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, and each Debtor shall remain liable, with respect to any deficiency.

6.03 Private Sale. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall incur no liability as a result of the sale, lease or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral, at any private sale pursuant to Section 6.01 conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Subject to and without limitation of the preceding sentence, Debtor hereby waives any claims against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.

6.04 Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein expressly provided, the proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held by the Administrative Agent under this Article VI, shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows:

First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such exercise of remedies, including reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred and advances made by the Administrative Agent in that connection;

Second, to the payment in full of the remaining Secured Obligations equally and ratably in accordance with their respective amounts then due and owing in respect of the Loan Documents and the Permitted Swap Agreements with Secured Parties, or as the Secured Parties holding the same may otherwise agree; and

Finally, to the pay to the Borrower, or its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, any surplus then remaining.

6.05 Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to the Administrative Agent while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each

-23-

Debtor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as the attorney-in-fact of such Debtor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Article VI and taking any action and executing any instruments that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Administrative Agent shall be entitled under this Article VI to make collections in respect of the Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall have the right and power

(a) to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of any Debtor representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

(b) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings in connection therewith which the Secured Party may deem to be necessary or advisable;

(c) to pay, settle or compromise all bills and claims which may be or become liens or security interests against any or all of the Collateral, or any part thereof, unless a bond or other security satisfactory to the Secured Party has been provided; and

(d) upon foreclosure, to do any and every act which any Debtor may do on its behalf with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof and to exercise any or all of such Debtor’s rights and remedies under any or all of the Collateral;

provided, however, that the Secured Party shall not exercise any such rights except upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

6.06 Expenses.

(a) Subject to Section 10.03 of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent may incur, and Debtors shall pay to the Administrative Agent, all reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses for legal services) of, or incident to, the enforcement of any of the provisions of this Article VI, or exercise by experts, agents or attorneys selected by the Administrative Agent in good faith of any rights or privileges of Debtors in respect of the Collateral, or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement in respect of any of the Collateral, and for the care of the Collateral and defending or asserting rights and claims of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise, and all such fees and expenses and, to the extent such amounts are not timely paid, together with interest thereon at the applicable rate provided for in Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement, shall be Secured Obligations of the Administrative Agent secured under Article II. All amounts payable by the Debtors under this Section 6.06(a) shall be payable within ten (10) Business Days of demand thereof.

(b) The terms, conditions, covenants and agreements to be observed or performed by each Debtor under this Agreement shall be observed or performed by it at its sole cost and expense.

-24-

6.07 Administrative Agent’s Right to Perform on Debtor’s Behalf. If any Debtor fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), upon reasonable notice to such Debtor, unless such Debtor is diligently pursuing a cure for such failure that cannot be obtained more quickly by the Administrative Agent’s performance as specified herein, itself perform or cause to be performed such obligations at the expense of such Debtor, either in its name or in the name and on behalf of such Debtor.

6.08 Custody and Preservation. The Administrative Agent’s obligation to use reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral shall be satisfied if it uses the same care as it uses in the custody and preservation of its own property.

6.09 Preservation of Rights. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall be required to take any steps to preserve any rights against prior parties to any of the Collateral.

6.10 Rights of Secured Parties. The Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may (but shall not be obligated to) pay or secure payment of any Tax or other claim that may be secured by or result in a Lien on any Collateral. The Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may (but shall not be obligated to) do any other thing that it in good faith believes is necessary or desirable to preserve, protect or maintain the Collateral or, while an Event of Default exists, to enhance its value. Debtors shall immediately reimburse the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for any reasonable payment or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) that the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party may incur pursuant to this Section 6.10.

6.11 No Marshalling. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order.

6.12 Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, and every such right, power and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. Resort to any or all security now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent may be taken concurrently or successively and in one or several consolidated or independent judicial actions or lawfully taken nonjudicial proceedings, or both.

-25-

ARTICLE VII

MISCELLANEOUS

7.01 Waivers of Rights Inhibiting Enforcement. Each Debtor waives, for itself and all who may claim under it, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

(a) any claim that, as to any part of the Collateral, a public sale, should the Administrative Agent elect so to proceed, is, in and of itself, not a commercially reasonable method of sale for the Collateral;

(b) the right to assert in any action or proceeding between it and the Administrative Agent any offsets or counterclaims that it may have;

(c) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, NOTICE OR JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TAKING POSSESSION OR DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL INCLUDING ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES AND ANY SUCH RIGHT THAT ANY DEBTOR WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OR ANY STATUTE OF THE UNITED STATES OR OF ANY STATE, AND ALL OTHER REQUIREMENTS AS TO THE TIME, PLACE AND TERMS OF SALE OR OTHER REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S RIGHTS HEREUNDER;

(d) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium; and

(e) the right to invoke any law requiring marshalling of collateral and all other rights the exercise of which would, directly or indirectly, prevent, delay or inhibit the enforcement of any of the rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties under this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral, now or hereafter in force under any applicable law.

7.02 Notices. The Administrative Agent or any Debtor shall give any notice, request, demand or other communication (a “Notice”) pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement. Any Notice to the Debtor shall be sent to the address of the Borrower set forth in the Credit Agreement or to such other address provided by such Debtor to the Administrative Agent in writing. Any Notice sent as hereinabove provided shall be deemed delivered upon receipt or refusal of delivery.

7.03 Assignment. No Debtor may assign any of its rights or delegate any performance under this Agreement (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by merger, consolidation, dissolution, operation of law or any other manner) except with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent may be withheld in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion. Any purported assignment without such consent is void. When any Lender assigns or otherwise transfers any interest held by it under the Credit Agreement or other Loan Document to any other Person pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement or such other Loan Document, that other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits held by such Lender under this Agreement.

-26-

7.04 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds the Debtors and their respective successors and assigns and inures to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

7.05 Amendment and Waiver. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure by any Debtor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the other Debtors; provided that any amendment, waiver, or consent shall be signed by the Required Lender or all of the Lenders to the extent required by Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

7.06 No Implied Waiver. No failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege or requiring the satisfaction of any condition hereunder, and no course of dealing between the Debtors and the Administrative Agent operates as a waiver or estoppel of any right, remedy or condition. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement precludes any simultaneous or subsequent exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement are not exclusive of, but are cumulative to, any rights or remedies now or subsequently existing at law, in equity or by statute.

7.07 Severability. In case one or more provisions of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

7.08 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous oral or written negotiations and agreements relating to the subject matter hereof. The provisions of this Agreement may not be explained, supplemented or qualified through evidence or trade usage or a prior course of dealing. In entering into this Agreement, the Debtors have not relied upon any statement, representation, warranty or agreement of the Administrative Agent except as set forth in the Loan Documents. There are no conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Credit Agreement, the terms of the Credit Agreement shall control.

7.09 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

7.10 Governing Law. The laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to its conflicts of law principles) govern all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement and all of the transactions it contemplates, including without limitation its validity,

-27-

interpretation, construction, performance (including the details of performance) and enforcement, except to the extent that the validity or perfection of the security interests hereunder, or remedies hereunder, in respect of any particular Collateral are governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the state of New York.

7.11 Headings. The descriptive headings of the articles, sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.

7.12 Interpretation. This Agreement has been reviewed and negotiated by counsel for both the Debtors and the Administrative Agent and, consequently, this Agreement shall not be construed against the drafter.

7.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE DEBTORS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

7.14 Survival, Etc. The provisions of Sections 2.07, 6.03, 6.06, 6.08, 6.09, 6.10, 7.01, 7.16, 7.17 and 7.19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. In addition, the representations, warranties and covenants of the Debtors set out in this Agreement or contained in any documents delivered to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

7.15 Agents, Etc. The Administrative Agent may employ agents, experts and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents, experts or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith, except to the extent resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such agents, experts or attorneys-in-fact.

7.16 Limitation of Liability. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OTHER SECURED PARTY SHALL HAVE LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO, AND DEBTORS HEREBY WAIVE, RELEASE AND AGREE NOT TO XXX FOR:

(a) ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE SUSTAINED BY ANY DEBTOR, OR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, DEPRECIATION OR OTHER DIMINUTION IN THE VALUE OF ANY COLLATERAL, THAT MAY OCCUR AS A RESULT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR THAT IS IN ANY WAY RELATED TO, ANY EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EXCEPT FOR ANY SUCH LOSS, DAMAGE, DEPRECIATION OR DIMINUTION TO THE EXTENT THAT THE SAME IS THE RESULT OF ACTS OR OMISSIONS ON THE PART OF SUCH SECURED PARTY CONSTITUTING WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE (AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION); OR

-28-

(b) ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES SUFFERED BY ANY DEBTOR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.

7.17 Subrogation. Each Debtor shall not exercise, and hereby irrevocably waives, any claim, right or remedy that it may now have or may hereafter acquire against any other Debtor arising under or in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any claim, right or remedy of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification or participation arising under contract, by applicable law or otherwise in any claim, right or remedy of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties against such Debtor or any other Person or any Collateral which the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may now have or may hereafter acquire, until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of all Secured Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments. If, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any amount shall be paid to any Debtor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when any of the Secured Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Debtor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Debtor and be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Debtor (duly endorsed by such Debtor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Secured Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtors shall be expressly permitted hereunder to make payments to each other to the extent not prohibited by the Credit Agreement.

The rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any power, right or remedy provided for or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and Debtors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as the Administrative Agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and Debtors shall be under no obligation or entitlement to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

EXHIBIT A

DEPOSIT ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT

This DEPOSIT ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of [                    ], 200    , is among [                                         ], a [                                        ] (“Debtor”); JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., not in its individual capacity but solely as administrative agent pursuant to the Security Agreement referred to below (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”); and [                                         ], a [                                        ] (“Depositary Bank”).

RECITALS

A. Depositary Bank and Debtor have entered into a depository agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Agreement as Annex 1 (the “Customer Agreement”), pursuant to which Depositary Bank has established its deposit account numbers                                         ,                                         , and                                          in the name of Debtor (the “Accounts”).

B. Debtor and certain of its Affiliates have entered into a Security and Pledge Agreement, dated as of June 4, 2008 (the “Security Agreement”), in favor of the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which, among other things, Debtor granted to the Administrative Agent a security interest in the Accounts.

C. The Administrative Agent, Debtor and Depositary Bank are entering into this Agreement to provide for the control of the Accounts and to perfect the security interest of the Administrative Agent in the Accounts.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. The Accounts. Depositary Bank confirms to the Administrative Agent and Debtor that (i) the Accounts have been established in the name of Debtor as recited above, (ii) Annex 2 attached to this Agreement is a complete and accurate statement of the Accounts and any free credit balance thereunder as of the date of this Agreement, and (iii) except for the claims and interest of the Administrative Agent and of Debtor in the Accounts, Depositary Bank does not know of any claim to or interest in the Accounts or in any financial asset carried therein. Depositary Bank will treat all property held by Depositary Bank in the Accounts as deposit accounts under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Texas.

Section 2. Control. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3, Depositary Bank shall comply with instructions concerning the Accounts from Debtor, or its authorized representatives, until such time as the Administrative Agent delivers a written notice to Depositary Bank that states that an Event of Default (as such term is used in the Security Agreement) has occurred and is continuing and that the Administrative Agent is thereby exercising exclusive control over the Accounts. Such notice is referred to in this Agreement as the “Notice of Exclusive Control”. After Depositary Bank receives the Notice of Exclusive Control, Depositary Bank will immediately cease complying with instructions concerning the Accounts originated by Debtor or its representatives and shall comply with instructions originated by the Administrative Agent concerning the Accounts without further consent by Debtor.

A-1

Section 3. Priority of Lien. Depositary Bank consents to and recognizes the security interest in the Accounts granted to the Administrative Agent by Debtor pursuant to the Security Agreement. Depositary Bank waives and releases all liens, encumbrances, claims and rights of setoff Depositary Bank may have against the Accounts or any funds carried in the Accounts except for payment of Depositary Bank’s customary fees pursuant to the Customer Agreement, and shall not assert any such lien, encumbrance, claim or right against the Accounts or any funds carried in the Accounts except for payment of customary fees when due and payable. Depositary Bank will not agree with any third party to comply with instructions concerning the Accounts originated by such third party without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and Debtor.

Section 4. Statements, Confirmations and Notices of Adverse Claims. Depositary Bank shall send copies of all statements and other correspondence concerning the Accounts simultaneously to Debtor and the Administrative Agent at the respective addresses set forth in Section 14. If any person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim, through a garnishment proceeding or otherwise, against the Accounts or in any funds carried in the Accounts, Depositary Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and Debtor thereof.

Section 5. Responsibility of Depositary Bank. Except for permitting a withdrawal or payment in violation of Section 2, Depositary Bank shall have no responsibility or liability to the Administrative Agent for complying with instructions concerning the Accounts from Debtor, or its authorized representatives, that are received by Depositary Bank before Depositary Bank receives a Notice of Exclusive Control. Depositary Bank shall have no responsibility or liability to Debtor for complying with a Notice of Exclusive Control or complying with instructions concerning the Accounts originated by the Administrative Agent. Depositary Bank shall have no duty to investigate or make any determination as to whether an Event of Default exists and shall comply with a Notice of Exclusive Control even if Depositary Bank believes that an Event of Default does not exist. Neither this Agreement nor the Security Agreement imposes or creates any obligation or duty of Depositary Bank other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Section 6. Tax Reporting. All items of income, gain, expense and loss recognized in the Accounts shall be reported to the Internal Revenue Service and all state and local taxing authorities under the name and taxpayer identification number of Debtor.

Section 7. Customer Agreement. This Agreement supplements the Customer Agreement. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Customer Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. Regardless of any provision in the Customer Agreement, Texas is Depositary Bank’s jurisdiction for the purposes of this Agreement and of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Texas.

Section 8. Termination. The rights and powers granted in this Agreement to the Administrative Agent have been granted in order to perfect the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Accounts, are powers coupled with an interest and will neither be affected by the dissolution, liquidation or bankruptcy of Debtor nor by the lapse of time. The obligations of Depositary Bank under

A-2

Sections 2, 3 and 4 shall continue in effect until the security interest of the Administrative Agent in the Accounts has been terminated pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement and the Administrative Agent has notified Depositary Bank in writing of such termination. Upon receipt of such notice the obligations of Depositary Bank under Sections 2, 3 and 4 with respect to the operation and maintenance of the Accounts after the receipt of such notice shall terminate, the Administrative Agent shall have no further right to originate instructions concerning the Accounts, and Depositary Bank may take such steps as Debtor may request to vest full ownership and control of the Accounts in Debtor, including, but not limited to, removing the name of the Administrative Agent from the Accounts or transferring all of the funds in the Accounts to other accounts in the name of any Debtor or Debtor’s designee.

Section 9. This Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANNEXES TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE AGREEMENTS AND INSTRUMENTS REQUIRED TO BE EXECUTED AND DELIVERED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, SET FORTH THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND SUPERSEDE AND DISCHARGE ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS (WRITTEN OR ORAL), NEGOTIATIONS AND CONTEMPORANEOUS ORAL AGREEMENTS CONCERNING SUCH SUBJECT MATTER AND NEGOTIATIONS. THERE ARE NO ORAL CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THERE ARE NO OTHER ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.

Section 10. Amendments. No amendment, modification or termination of this Agreement or waiver of any right under this Agreement shall be binding on any party to this Agreement unless the amendment, modification or termination is in writing and is signed by Debtor, the Administrative Agent and Depositary Bank.

Section 11. Severability. If any term or provision set forth in this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of the remaining terms or provisions of this Agreement to persons or circumstances, other than the term or provision held invalid or unenforceable, shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable term or provision were omitted.

Section 12. Successors. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 13. Rules of Construction. In this Agreement, words in the singular number include the plural, and in the plural include the singular; and words of the masculine gender include the feminine and the neuter, and when the sense so indicates words of the neuter gender may refer to any gender. The captions and section numbers appearing in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and do not define, limit or describe the scope or intent of the provisions of this Agreement.
