ARTICLE II

GUARANTEE

Section 2.1 Guarantee.

(a) Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment of all Obligations (collectively the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from such Guarantor and that such Guarantor will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligations.

(b) Each Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Security Agent or any Secured Party to any of the security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Security Agent or any Secured Party in favor of Holdings or any other Guarantor.

(c) It is the intent of each Guarantor, the Security Agent and each Secured Party that the maximum obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be, but not in excess of:

(i) in a case or proceeding commenced by or against any Guarantor under the provisions of Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§101 et seq., as amended and in effect from time to time (the “Bankruptcy Code”), on or within one year from the date on which any of the Guaranteed Obligations are incurred, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the Guaranteed Obligations (or any other obligations of such Guarantor owed to the Security Agent or any Secured Party) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor under (i) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or (ii) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in any such case or proceeding by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code; or

(ii) in a case or proceeding commenced by or against any Guarantor under the Bankruptcy Code subsequent to one year from the date on which any of the Guaranteed Obligations are incurred, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the Guaranteed Obligations (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Security Agent or any Secured Party) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor under any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in any such case or proceeding by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code; or

(iii) in a case or proceeding commenced by or against any Guarantor under any law, statute or regulation other than the Bankruptcy Code (including any other bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or similar debtor relief laws), the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the Guaranteed Obligations (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Security Agent or any Secured Party) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor under such law, statute or regulation, including any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in any such case or proceeding.

The substantive laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Security Agent or any Secured Party) as may be determined in any case or proceeding shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions”. To the extent set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this subsection, but only to the extent that the Guaranteed Obligations would otherwise be subject to avoidance or found unenforceable under the Avoidance Provisions, if any Guarantor is not deemed to have receive d valuable consideration, fair value or reasonably equivalent value for the Guaranteed Obligations, or if the Guaranteed Obligations would render such Guarantor insolvent, or leave such Guarantor with an unreasonably small capital to conduct its business, or cause such Guarantor to have incurred debts (or to have intended to have incurred debts) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, in each case as of the time any of the Guaranteed Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions and after giving effect to the contribution by such Guarantor, the maximum Guaranteed Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, after giving effect thereto, would not cause the Guaranteed Obligations (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Security Agent or any Secured Party), as so reduced, to be subject to avoidance or unenforceability under the Avoidance Provisions.

This subsection is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Security Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor to be subject to avoidance or unenforceability under the Avoidance Provisions, and neither the Grantors nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this subsection as against the

Security Agent or any Secured Party that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that if the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is accelerated by bankruptcy or otherwise, such maturity shall also be deemed accelerated for the purpose of this guarantee without demand or notice to such Guarantor. The guarantee contained in this Article shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations are irrevocably satisfied in full.

Section 2.2 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby agrees and guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Security Agent without set-off or counterclaim in U.S. dollars to the account of the Security Agent specified by it in writing to Holdings.

ARTICLE III

Each Grantor hereby pledges, assigns and transfers to the Security Agent, and grants to the Security Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, all of the following property now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by such Grantor or in which such Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest and whether now existing or hereafter coming into existence (collectively, the “Collateral”), as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations (collectively, the “Secured Obligations”):

(b) all Copyrights and Copyright Licenses;

(d) all contracts;

provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lien or security interest is hereby granted on any Excluded Property, and, to the extent that any Collateral later becomes Excluded Property, the Lien granted hereunder will automatically be deemed to have been released; provided, further, that if and when any property shall cease to be Excluded Property, a Lien on and security interest in such property shall automatically be deemed granted therein.

Section 3.2 Second Priority Nature of Liens, Subordination Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything herein or in any of the Underlying Documents to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Security Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by it hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Subordination Agreement. This document and the Grantors’ obligations evidenced hereby are subordinate in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Subordination Agreement.

(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged Securities pledged by such Grantor hereunder (and each Issuer party hereto hereby agrees) to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Security Agent in writing (x) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) that is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Subordination Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Securities directly to the Security Agent.

(d) After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, if the Issuer of any Pledged Securities is the subject of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, custodianship or other proceedings under the supervision of any Governmental Authority, then all rights of the Grantor in respect thereof to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which such Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise with respect to the Pledged Securities issued by such Issuer shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon, subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, become vested in the Security Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights, but the Security Agent shall have no duty to exercise any such voting or other consensual rights and shall no t be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

Section 7.2 Collections on Accounts. The Security Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect upon the Accounts, Instruments, Chattel Paper and Payment Intangibles subject to the Security Agent’s direction and control, and the Security Agent may, subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Su bject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, upon the request of the Security Agent, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default each Grantor shall notify the applicable Account Debtors that the applicable Accounts, Chattel Paper and Payment Intangibles have been assigned to the Security Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Security Agent.

Section 7.3 Proceeds. Subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, if required by the Security Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Accounts, Instruments, Chattel Paper and Payment Intangibles comprising a portion of the Collateral, when collected or received by each Grantor, and any other cash or non-cash Proceeds received by each Grantor upon the sale or other disposition of any Collateral, shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Security Agent in a special collateral account maintained by the Security Agent subject to withdrawal by the Security Agent only, as hereinafter provided, and, until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Security Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties segregated from other funds of any such Grantor. Each deposit of any such Proceeds shall be accompanied by a report identifying in detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit. All Proceeds of the Collateral (including Proceeds constituting collections of Accounts, Chattel Paper, Instruments or Payment Intangibles comprising a portion of the Collateral) while held by the Security Agent (or by any Grantor in trust for the Security Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties) shall continue to be collateral security for all of the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as hereinafter provided. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by each Grantor and the Security Agent, or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Security Agent’s election (subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement), the Security Agent shall apply all or any part of the funds or Proceeds on deposit in said special collateral account on account of the Secured Obligations, and any part of such funds or Proceeds which the Security Agent elects not so to apply and deems not required as collateral security for the Secured Obligations shall be paid over from time to time by the Security Agent to each Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

Section 7.4 UCC and Other Remedies.

(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Security Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may, subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, exercise in its discretion, in addition to all other rights, remedies, powers and privileges granted to it in this Agreement, and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights, remedies, powers and privileges of a secured party under the UCC (regardless of whether the UCC is in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights, remedies, powers or privileges are asserted) or any other applicable law or otherwise available at law or equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Security Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisemen t or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Security Agent or any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Security Agent or any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any su ch private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, each Grantor further agrees, at the request of the Security Agent (subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement), to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Security Agent at places which the Security Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. Any such sale or transfer by the Security Agent either to itself or to any other Person shall be absolutely free from any claim of right by any Grantor, including any equity or right of redemption, stay or appraisal

which such Grantor has or may have under any rule of law, regulation or statute now existing or hereafter adopted. Upon any such sale or transfer, the Security Agent shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser or transferee thereof the Collateral so sold or transferred. The Security Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Security Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, including, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, and only after such application and after the paymen t by the Security Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9-615 of the UCC, need the Security Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Security Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

(b) In the event that the Security Agent elects not to sell the Collateral, the Security Agent retains its rights to dispose of or utilize the Collateral or any part or parts thereof in any manner authorized or permitted by law or in equity and to apply the proceeds of the same towards payment of the Secured Obligations. Each and every method of disposition of the Collateral described in this Agreement shall constitute disposition in a commercially reasonable manner. The Security Agent may appoint any Person as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale or transfer of the Collateral.

Section 7.5 Private Sales of Pledged Securities. Each Grantor recognizes that the Security Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Securities, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to th e distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Security Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Securities for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so. Each Grantor agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may reasonably be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Securities pursuant to this Section valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants con tained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Security Agent and the Secured Parties, that the Security Agent and the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants.

Section 7.6 Waiver; Deficiency. Each Grantor waives and agrees not to assert any rights or privileges which it may acquire under the UCC or any other applicable law. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations or Guaranteed Obligations, as the case may be, and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Security Agent or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

Section 7.7 Non-Judicial Enforcement. The Security Agent may enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, and, to the extent permitted by law, each Grantor expressly waives any and all legal rights which might otherwise require the Security Agent to enforce its rights by judicial process.

Section 7.8 Subordination Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, Article VII is specifically subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement.

Anything in this subsection to the contrary notwithstanding, the Security Agent agrees, subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this subsection unless Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Security Agent shall give the relevant Grantor notice of any action taken pursuant to this subsection when reasonably practicable; provided that the Security Agent shall have no liability for the failure to provide any such notice.

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein within the applicable grace periods, the Security Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

(c) The expenses of the Security Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section, together with interest thereon at the rate of 2% per annum from the date of payment by the Security Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Security Agent on demand.

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof and in compliance herewith. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

Section 8.2 Duty of the Security Agent. The sole duty of the Security Agent with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Security Agent deals with similar property for its own account, and the Security Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the cus tody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which comparable secured parties accord comparable collateral. Neither the Security Agent, any Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay

in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Security Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect their interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Security Agent or the Secured Parties to exercise any such powers. The Security Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as de termined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Security Agent shall be under no duty whatsoever to make or give any presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, demand for performance, notice of non-performance, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, or other notice or demand in connection with any Collateral, or to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights against any Grantor or other Person or ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not it has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters. Each Grantor, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waives any right of marshaling in respect of any and all Collateral, and waives any right to require the Security Agent or any Secured Party to proceed against any Grantor or other Person, exhaust any Collateral or enforce any other remedy w hich the Security Agent or any Secured Party now has or may hereafter have against any Grantor or other Person.

Section 8.3 Filing of Financing Statements. Pursuant to the UCC and any other applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Security Agent, its counsel or its representative, at any time and from time to time, to file or record financing statements, continuation statements, amendments thereto and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Security Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security intere sts of the Security Agent under this Agreement. Additionally, each Grantor authorizes the Security Agent, its counsel or its representative, at any time and from time to time, to file or record such financing statements that describe the collateral covered thereby as “all assets of the Grantor”, “all personal property of the Grantor” or words of similar effect. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.

Section 8.4 Appointment of Security Agent; Authority of Security Agent.

Each Secured Party hereby appoints and authorizes the Security Agent to act as the Security Agent hereunder and the Security Agent hereby accepts such appointment.

ARTICLE IX

SUBORDINATION OF INDEBTEDNESS

Section 9.1 Subordination of All Guarantor Claims. As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and obligations of any Grantor to any Grantor, whether such debts and obligations now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligation of the debtor thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or obligations be evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person o r Persons in whose favor such debts or obligations may, at their inception, have been or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, no Grantor shall receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from any obligor in respect thereof any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.

Section 9.2 Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief or other insolvency proceedings involving any Grantor, the Security Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall have the right to prove their claim in any proceeding, so as to establish their rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims. Each Grantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to the Security Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties for application against the Secured Obligations. Should the Security Agent or any Secured Party receive, for application upon the Secured Obligations, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to any Grantor, and which, as between such Grantor, shall constitute a credit upon the Guarantor Claims, then upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the intended recipient shall become subrogated to the rights of the Security Agent and the Secured Parties to the extent that such payments to the Security Agent and the Secured Parties on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Secured Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Secured Obligations which would have been unpaid if the Security Agent and the Secured Parties had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.

Section 9.3 Payments Held in Trust. In the event that, notwithstanding Section 9.1 and Section 9.2, any Grantor should receive any funds, payments, claims or distributions which are prohibited by such Sections, then it agrees (a) to hold in trust for the Security Agent and the Secured Parties an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and (b) that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims or distributions except to pay them promptly to the Security Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties; and each Grantor covenants promptly to pay the same to the Security Agent.

Section 9.4 Liens Subordinate. Each Grantor agrees that, until the Secured Obligations are paid in full, any Liens securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any Liens securing payment of the Secured Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of such Grantor, the Security Agent or any Secured Party presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without th e prior written consent of the Security Agent, no Grantor, during the period in which any of the Secured Obligations are outstanding, shall (a) exercise or enforce any creditor’s right it may have against any debtor in respect of the Guarantor Claims, or (b) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceeding (judicial or otherwise, including the commencement of or joinder in any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any Lien held by it.

Section 9.5 Notation of Records. Upon the request of the Security Agent, all promissory notes and all accounts receivable ledgers or other evidence of the Guarantor Claims accepted by or held

by any Grantor shall contain a specific written notice thereon that the indebtedness evidenced thereby is subordinated under the terms of this Agreement.
