rights specified in Section 13(a), in each case to the extent required to ensure
the perfection of the Collateral Agent's security interest or, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, to exercise any remedies hereunder. In
addition, in connection with any exercise of remedies by the Collateral Agent
hereunder, the Collateral
13
Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments
representing or evidencing Security Collateral for certificates or instruments
of smaller or larger denominations.
(b) With respect to any Security Collateral constituting Pledged
Equity of a Subsidiary or joint venture in which any Grantor has any right,
title or interest and that constitutes an uncertificated security, such Grantor
will cause the issuer thereof (or in the case of an issuer that is not a
Subsidiary, such Grantor will use its reasonable efforts to cause the issuer
thereof) either (i) to register the Collateral Agent as the registered owner of
such security or (ii) to agree in an authenticated record with such Grantor and
the Collateral Agent that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, such issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such
security originated by the Collateral Agent without further consent of such
Grantor, such authenticated record to be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.
(c) With respect to any Security Collateral in which any Grantor has
any right, title or interest valued at $1,000,000 or more and that constitutes a
security entitlement in which the Collateral Agent is not the entitlement
holder, such Grantor will cause the securities intermediary with respect to such
security entitlement either (i) to identify in its records the Collateral Agent
as the entitlement holder of such security entitlement against such securities
intermediary or (ii) to agree in an authenticated record with such Grantor and
the Collateral Agent that, upon notice from the Collateral Agent of the
occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, such securities intermediary
will comply with entitlement orders (that is, notifications communicated to such
securities intermediary directing transfer or redemption of the financial asset
to which such Grantor has a security entitlement) originated by the Collateral
Agent without further consent of such Grantor, such authenticated record to be
in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto or otherwise in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (such agreement being a
"SECURITIES ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT").
(d) No Grantor will change or add any securities intermediary that
maintains any securities account in which any of the Security Collateral is
credited or carried, or change or add any such securities account, in each case

practicable after the Effective Date, and (iii) with respect to Security
Collateral constituting Pledged Equity of Foreign Subsidiaries, the applicable
Grantors shall comply with the provisions of this Section 5 as promptly as
practicable after the Effective Date, except that in the case of this clause
(ii) no Grantor shall be required to take any such action that would be contrary
to the local law applicable to any such Foreign Subsidiary or which would
require such Grantor or Foreign Subsidiary to seek approval from any local
governmental authority having jurisdiction over such Foreign Subsidiary.

or right of setoff or right of recoupment) to the Account Collateral, which
authenticated record shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, or
shall otherwise be in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent
(the "ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT").
(b) Except to the extent set forth in an applicable Account Control
Agreement, if any, the Collateral Agent shall have sole right to direct the
disposition of funds with respect to each of the Collateral Deposit Account and
the LC Collateral Account; and it shall be a term and condition of each of the
Collateral Deposit Account and the LC Collateral Account, subject solely to any
term to the contrary set forth in an applicable Account Control Agreement, if
any,
15
that no amount (including, without limitation, interest on Temporary Cash
Investments credited thereto) will be paid or released to or for the account of,
or withdrawn by or for the account of, the Company or any other Person from the
Collateral Deposit Account or the LC Collateral Account, as the case may be.
(c) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Collateral Agent will pay and release to the Company or at its

applied to the Obligations of the Company (or, to the extent permitted by the
Credit Agreement, to the Trustee to be applied to the Senior Note Obligations),
(x) in the case of the LC Collateral Account, such amount, if any, as is then on
deposit in the LC Collateral Account to the extent permitted to be released
under the terms of the Credit Agreement and (y) in the case of the Collateral
Deposit Account, the amount, if any, by which the aggregate principal amount of
the Cash and Temporary Cash Investments credited to the Collateral Deposit
Account exceeds the aggregate amount of the outstanding Secured Obligations at
such time.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Agreement (including this Section 6), it is understood and agreed that (i) with
respect to Account Collateral maintained with National Westminster Bank, the
applicable Grantors shall close the applicable accounts within three weeks of
the Effective Date and transfer any amounts contained therein to other accounts
satisfying the requirements of this Section 6, and (ii) with respect to Account

Account in such Temporary Cash Investments credited to (A) the LC Collateral
Account as the Company may select or (B) in the case of Temporary Cash
Investments consisting of Securities Collateral, a securities account in which
the Collateral Agent is the securities intermediary or a securities account
subject to a Securities Account Control Agreement, and (b) invest interest paid
on the Temporary Cash Investments referred to in clause (a) above, and reinvest
other proceeds of any such Temporary Cash Investments that may mature or be
sold, in each case in such Temporary Cash Investments credited in the same
manner. Interest and proceeds that are not invested or reinvested in Temporary
Cash Investments as provided above shall be deposited and held in the LC
Collateral Account.

reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, to subject such letter-of-credit
rights to the security interest created under this Agreement (including, without
limitation, using its commercially reasonably efforts to maintain all
letter-of-credit rights assigned to the Collateral Agent so that the Collateral
Agent has control of such letter-of-credit rights in the manner specified in
Section 9-107 of the UCC); and
(b) Each Grantor will promptly give notice to the Collateral Agent
of any commercial tort claim of $5,000,000 or more that may arise in the future

this Agreement. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any
financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be
sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law. Each Grantor
ratifies its authorization for the Collateral Agent to have filed such financing
statements, continuation statements or amendments filed prior to the date
hereof. The Collateral Agent will deliver to the Company copies of any such
financing statements, continuation statements and amendments filed by it after

Collateral Agent and taking all action reasonably required by the Collateral
Agent for the purpose of perfecting or protecting the security interest granted
by this Agreement. No Grantor will become bound by a security agreement
authenticated by another Person that is not a Grantor (determined as provided in
Section 9-203(d) of the UCC) without giving the Collateral Agent 30 days' prior
written notice thereof and taking all action required by the Collateral Agent to
ensure that the perfection and first priority nature of the Collateral Agent's
security interest in the Collateral will be maintained.

occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon written

Contracts, including, without limitation, those set forth set forth in Section
9-607 of the UCC. After receipt by any Grantor of the notice from the Collateral
Agent referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence, (i) all amounts and
proceeds (including, without limitation, instruments) received by such Grantor
in respect of the Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts of such
Grantor shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent
hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be

Section 6(C) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing or (B) if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,

payment of any Receivable or amount due on any Assigned Agreement or Related
Contract, release wholly or partly any Obligor thereof, or allow any credit or
discount thereon.
SECTION 12. AS TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL. (a) With respect
to each material item of its Intellectual Property Collateral, each Grantor
agrees,
22

would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, (x) to take,
at its expense, all necessary steps, including, without limitation, in the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. Copyright Office, to (i) maintain the
validity and enforceability of each such item of Intellectual Property

infringement and misappropriation proceedings, and (y) not to, without the
written consent of the Collateral Agent (which will not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed), discontinue use of or otherwise abandon any Intellectual Property
Collateral, or abandon any right to file an application for letters patent,
trademark, or copyright.
(b) In the event that any Grantor becomes aware that any material
item of the Intellectual Property Collateral is being infringed or
misappropriated by a third party in a manner that would have a material impact
on the overall value of all of the Collateral, such Grantor shall promptly
notify the Collateral Agent and shall take such actions, at its expense, as such
Grantor reasonably deems appropriate under the circumstances to protect such
Intellectual Property Collateral.
(c) With respect to its Intellectual Property Collateral, each
Grantor agrees to execute or otherwise authenticate an agreement, in
substantially the form set forth in Exhibit E hereto (an "INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
SECURITY AGREEMENT"), for recording the security interest granted hereunder to
the Collateral Agent in such Intellectual Property Collateral with the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. Copyright Office necessary to perfect
the security interest hereunder in such Intellectual Property Collateral.
(d) Each Grantor agrees that, should it obtain an ownership interest
in any item of the type set forth in Section 2(a)(vii) that is not on the date

apply thereto, (ii) any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property and, in the
case of trademarks,
23
the goodwill of the business associated therewith or symbolized thereby, shall

consisting of Pledged Equity and Pledged Debt of such Grantor or any
part thereof for any purpose other than originate Entitlement Orders

24
instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of

Agent a consent and acknowledgment, in substantially the form of Exhibit C
hereto or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent,
from each such insurance company to, the assignment of the receivables under
such Asbestos Policy to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) If any Grantor becomes a beneficiary or otherwise entitled to
reimbursement or payment under any Asbestos Policy, such Grantor shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to notify the insurance company that is issuer
of such Asbestos Policy of, and deliver to the Collateral Agent a consent and
acknowledgment, in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto or otherwise in
form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, from such insurance
company to, the assignment of the receivables under such Asbestos Policy to the
Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement.
SECTION 16. TRANSFERS AND OTHER LIENS. Each Grantor agrees that it
will not (i) sell, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with
respect to, any of the Collateral, other than sales, assignments and other
dispositions of Collateral, and options relating to Collateral, permitted under
the terms of the Credit Agreement, or (ii) create or suffer to exist any Lien
upon or with respect to any of the Collateral of such Grantor except for the
pledge, assignment and security interest created under this Agreement and Liens
permitted under the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 17. COLLATERAL AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Each Grantor
hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent such Grantor's attorney in
fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name
of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time upon the occurrence and during
the
26
continuance of an Event of Default, in the Collateral Agent's discretion, to
take any action and to execute any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem
necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including,
without limitation:
(a) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the
Collateral Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement,

for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce compliance
with the terms and conditions of any Assigned Agreement or the rights of the
Collateral Agent with respect to any of the Collateral.
SECTION 18. COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM. If any Grantor fails to
perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may, but shall not
be obligated to, perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the
expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be
payable by such Grantor under Section 21; PROVIDED that, unless the Collateral
Agent determines that the circumstances do not so permit, the Collateral Agent
shall notify such Grantor of any such action ten Business Days' prior to taking,
or causing to be taken, such action.
SECTION 19. THE COLLATERAL AGENT'S DUTIES. (a) The powers conferred
on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties'
interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any
such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and
the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral
Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking
action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or
other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has
or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any
necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights
pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in
its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to
that which it accords its own property.
27
(b) Except for the obligation of the Collateral Agent to make
distributions in respect of the Senior Note Obligations under Section 20(c)(ii),
none of the Lender Parties shall be under any fiduciary, contractual or other
duty to the Senior Noteholders or the Trustee.
(c) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Collateral Agent may from time to time, when the Collateral Agent deems it to be
necessary, appoint one or more subagents (each a "SUBAGENT") for the Collateral
Agent hereunder with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. In the event
that the Collateral Agent so appoints any Subagent with respect to any
Collateral, (i) the assignment and pledge of such Collateral and the security
interest granted in such Collateral by each Grantor hereunder shall be deemed
for purposes of this Security Agreement to have been made to such Subagent, in
addition to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as
security for the Secured Obligations of such Grantor, (ii) such Subagent shall
automatically be vested, in addition to the Collateral Agent, with all rights,
powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder
with respect to such Collateral, and (iii) the term "COLLATERAL AGENT," when
used herein in relation to any rights, powers, privileges, interests and
remedies of the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral, shall include
such Subagent; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to
take any action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to the
extent expressly authorized in writing by the Collateral Agent.
(d) The provisions of Article VIII of the Credit Agreement shall
inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent in respect of this Agreement and
shall be binding upon the parties hereto in such respect.
SECTION 20. REMEDIES. If either (x) any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing and the Required Lenders shall have so instructed the
Collateral Agent or (y) (i) the maturity of the Senior Notes shall have been
accelerated and/or the principal of the Senior Notes shall not have been paid at
maturity, (ii) such condition shall have continued for 60 consecutive days and
(iii) holders of a majority of the Senior Note Obligations shall have so
instructed the Collateral Agent:
(a) The Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral,
in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise
available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default
under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and
also may: (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it
will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble
all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it
available to the
28
Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent
that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) without notice except as
specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels
at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent's offices or
elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms
as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable; (iii) occupy any
premises owned or leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part
thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate
its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such
Grantor in respect of such occupation; and (iv) exercise any and all rights and
remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or
otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, (A) any
and all rights of such Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any
amount under, or performance of any provision of, the Assigned Agreements, the
Receivables, the Related Contracts and the other Collateral, (B) withdraw, or
cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to the Account
Collateral and (C) exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the
Assigned Agreements, the Receivables, the Related Contracts and the other
Collateral, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of
the UCC. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be
required by law, at least ten days' notice to such Grantor of the time and place
of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall
constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated
to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.
The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without
further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
(b) The Collateral Agent may, without notice to, or consent from,
the Grantor, (i) transfer, or direct the transfer of, funds from the Account
Collateral to satisfy the Grantor's Obligations (and, to the extent contemplated
by the Credit Agreement, the Senior Note Obligations) and (ii) transfer, or
direct the transfer of, funds from the Other Deposit Accounts to the Collateral
Deposit Account or the LC Collateral Account. The Collateral Agent shall notify
the Grantor promptly following any such transfer or direction; PROVIDED that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such transfer or
direction.
(c) Any cash held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and all
cash proceeds received by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent in respect of any
sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the
Collateral may, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, be held by the
Collateral Agent as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter
applied in whole or in part by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Secured Parties against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations, in the
following manner:
29
(i) in the case of Unrestricted Collateral:
(A) to pay the expenses of such sale or disposition,
including reasonable compensation to agents of and counsel
for the Collateral Agent, and all reasonable expenses,

other amounts then due and payable to the Collateral Agent

Agreement;
(B) to pay ratably all fees payable in respect of the

Letter of Credit Obligations up to the
30
aggregate amount of such Letter of Credit Obligations then
outstanding, until payment in full of such principal and
other amounts and such Cash Collateralization shall have
been made; PROVIDED that in the event that any such Letter
of Credit is drawn, the Collateral Agent shall pay to the
L/C Issuer that issued such Letter of Credit the amount
held in the LC Collateral Account in respect of such Letter
of Credit and PROVIDED FURTHER that, to the extent that the
Letter of Credit Obligations are permanently reduced
pursuant to Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement or
otherwise and as a result thereof the amount of the
Collateral in the LC Collateral Account shall exceed the
aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations then
outstanding, such excess amount of such Collateral shall be
applied in accordance with the remaining order of priority
set out in this Section 20(c)(i);

the Revolving Credit Loans, the Secured Hedging Agreements
and the Secured Cash Management Agreements, until payment

may be lawfully entitled to receive any surplus from the

payment and Cash Collateralization shall have been made;
PROVIDED that in the event that any such Letter of Credit
is drawn, the Collateral Agent shall pay to the L/C Issuer
that issued such Letter of Credit the amount held in the LC
Collateral Account in respect of such Letter of Credit, and
PROVIDED FURTHER that, to the extent that any such Letter
of Credit Obligations are permanently reduced pursuant to
Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement or otherwise and as a
result thereof the amount of the Collateral in the LC
Collateral Account shall exceed the then-remaining
aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations, such excess amount
of such Collateral shall be applied in accordance with the
remaining order of priority set out in this Section
20(c)(ii);
(G) to pay (or provide for the payment of) ratably
all amounts in respect of the Revolving Credit Loans, the

(H) to pay to the applicable Grantor or to whomsoever
may be lawfully entitled to receive any surplus from the
proceeds of the Collateral owned by it.
PROVIDED that, for purposes of this Section 20, the amount owing to any such
Lender Party pursuant to any Secured Hedging Agreement to which it is a party
(other than any amount therefore accrued and unpaid) shall be deemed to be equal
to the maximum aggregate amount (after giving effect to any netting agreements)
that such Lender Party would be entitled to receive if such Secured Hedging
Agreement were terminated at such time.
(d) All payments received by any Grantor under or in connection with
any Assigned Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Collateral shall be
32
received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated
from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the
Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary
indorsement).
(e) The Collateral Agent may, without notice to any Grantor except
as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set off and
otherwise apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations against any funds
held with respect to the Account Collateral or in any other deposit account.
(f) In the event of any sale or other disposition of any of the
Intellectual Property Collateral of any Grantor, the goodwill of the business
connected with and symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such sale or other
disposition shall be included therein, and such Grantor shall supply to the
Collateral Agent or its designee such Grantor's know-how and expertise, and
documents and things relating to any Intellectual Property Collateral subject to
such sale or other disposition, and such Grantor's customer lists and other
records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property Collateral and to
the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products and services of
such Grantor.
(g) If the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to
sell all or any of the Security Collateral of any Grantor pursuant to this
Section 20, each Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Collateral Agent, such
Grantor will, at its own expense:
(i) if such Security Collateral constitutes Pledged Equity of a
Subsidiary of such Grantor, execute and deliver, and cause the issuer
of such Pledged Equity contemplated to be sold and the directors and
officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such instruments and
documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things,
as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent,
advisable to register such Pledged Equity under the provisions of the
Securities Act of 1933 (as amended from time to time, the "SECURITIES
ACT"), to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become
effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are
required by law to be furnished and to make all amendments and
supplements thereto and to the related prospectus that, in the
opinion of the Collateral Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in
conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable
thereto;
(ii) use its best efforts to qualify such Security Collateral under
the state securities or "Blue Sky" laws and to obtain all necessary
33
governmental approvals for the sale of such Security Collateral, as
requested by the Collateral Agent;
(iii) cause each such issuer of such Security Collateral to make
available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an
earnings statement that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a)
of the Securities Act; and
(iv) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be
necessary to make such sale of such Security Collateral or any part
thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent is authorized, in connection
with any such sale, if it deems it advisable to do so, (A) to restrict the
prospective bidders on or purchasers of any of such Security Collateral to a
limited number of sophisticated investors who will represent and agree that they
are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the
distribution or sale of any of such Security Collateral, (B) to cause to be
placed on certificates for any or all of such Security Collateral or on any
other securities pledged hereunder a legend to the effect that such security has
not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be disposed of in
violation of the provisions of the Securities Act, and (C) to impose such other
limitations or conditions in connection with any such sale as the Collateral
Agent deems necessary or advisable in order to comply with the Securities Act or
any other law. The parties acknowledge and agree that only under very unusual
circumstances, if ever, would the Collateral Agent be required to register such
Security Collateral under the Securities Act in order to effect a commercially
reasonable sale.
(h) The Collateral Agent is authorized, in connection with any sale
of Security Collateral pursuant to this Section 20, to deliver or otherwise
disclose to any prospective purchaser of such Security Collateral: (i) any
registration statement or prospectus, and all supplements and amendments
thereto, prepared pursuant to subsection (g)(i) above; and (ii) any other
information in its possession relating to such Security Collateral.
(i) Each Grantor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the
amount of damages that would be suffered by the Secured Parties by reason of the
failure by such Grantor to perform any of the covenants contained in subsection
(g) above and, consequently, agrees that, if such Grantor shall fail to perform
any of such covenants, the Collateral Agent shall have the right of specific
performance.
34
SECTION 21. INDEMNITY AND EXPENSES. Each Grantor agrees to indemnify,
defend and save and hold harmless each Secured Party and each of their
Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and
advisors (each, an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") from and against, and shall pay on
demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that
may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each
case arising out of or in connection with or resulting from this Agreement
(including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the
extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final,
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
from such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
SECTION 22. EFFECTIVENESS. This Agreement shall become effective on
the Effective Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) immediately after the
satisfaction of the conditions to effectiveness of the Credit Agreement set
forth in Section 4.01 thereof (including without limitation the delivery of the
balance sheet referred to in subsection (i) thereof), and at such time the
Pledge Agreement dated as of May 25, 2001 between the pledgors party thereto and
Bank of America N.A. (as successor to Bank of America National Trust and Savings
Association), as collateral agent, shall automatically be terminated and
replaced hereby.
SECTION 23. AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS; COLLATERAL AGENT ACTIONS; ADDITIONAL
GRANTORS; ETC. (a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement,
and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Collateral
Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of
the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in
exercising any right hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 20, the Collateral Agent shall take instructions from the
Required Lenders as to all matters (or from all Lenders in the circumstances
specified in the proviso to Section 10.03 of the Credit Agreement). Any such
action, including any release of Collateral, shall be binding on the Senior
Noteholders; PROVIDED that the prior written consent of the Trustee shall be
required to amend (y) Section 20(c)(ii) in a manner adverse to the Senior
Noteholders or (y) the definition of "Restricted Collateral" in a manner adverse
to the Senior Noteholders if and to the extent that the other Secured Parties
would continue to have a Lien on the Restricted Collateral after giving effect
to such amendment.
35
(b) Upon the execution and delivery, or authentication, by any
Person of a security agreement supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A
hereto (each a "SECURITY AGREEMENT SUPPLEMENT"), (i) such Person shall be
referred to as an "ADDITIONAL GRANTOR" and shall be and become a Grantor
hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to
"GRANTOR" shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, and
each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to "COLLATERAL"
shall also mean and be a reference to the Collateral of such Additional Grantor,
and (ii) the supplemental schedules XII attached to each Security Agreement
Supplement shall be incorporated into and become a part of and supplement
Schedules XII, respectively, hereto, and the Collateral Agent may attach such
supplemental schedules to such Schedules; and each reference to such Schedules
shall mean and be a reference to such Schedules as supplemented pursuant to each
Security Agreement Supplement.
SECTION 24. NOTICES; ETC. (a) GENERAL. Unless otherwise expressly
provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder
shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission). All such written
notices shall be mailed, faxed or delivered to the applicable address, facsimile
number or (subject to subsection (c) below) electronic mail address, as set
forth in or designated pursuant to Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement. All
such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made upon
the earlier to occur of (i) actual receipt by the relevant party hereto and
(ii)(A) if delivered by hand or by courier, when signed for by or on behalf of
the relevant party hereto; (B) if delivered by mail, four Business Days after
deposit in the mails, postage prepaid; (C) if delivered by facsimile, when sent
and receipt has been confirmed by telephone; and (D) if delivered by electronic
mail (which form of delivery is subject to the provisions of subsection (c)
below), when delivered; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that notices and other communications
to the Collateral Agent shall not be effective until actually received by the
Collateral Agent.
(b) EFFECTIVENESS OF FACSIMILE DOCUMENTS AND SIGNATURES. Collateral
Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile. The effectiveness of
any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the
same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on all
parties hereto. The Collateral Agent may also require that any such documents
and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the
effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature.
(c) LIMITED USE OF ELECTRONIC MAIL. Electronic mail and Internet and
intranet websites may be used only to distribute routine communications, such as
information as provided in Section 5.01 of the Credit Agreement and to
distribute
36
Collateral Documents for execution by the parties thereto, and may not be used
for any other purpose.
(d) RELIANCE BY COLLATERAL AGENT. The Collateral Agent shall be
entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of
any Grantor even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein,
were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice
specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient,
varied from any confirmation thereof. Each Grantor shall indemnify the
Collateral Agent and its Affiliates from all losses and liabilities, and all
reasonable costs and expenses, resulting from the reliance by such Person on
each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of such Grantor absent gross
negligence or willful misconduct. All communications with the Collateral Agent
may be recorded by the Collateral Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby
consents to such recording.
(e) The Collateral Agent may rely on any notice (whether or not such
notice is made in a manner permitted or required by this Agreement or any Loan
Document) purportedly made by or on behalf of the Company (including acting on
behalf of any other Grantor) or any other Grantor, and the Collateral Agent
shall not have any duty to verify the identity or authority of any Person giving
such notice.
SECTION 25. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; ASSIGNMENTS UNDER THE
CREDIT AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in
the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the
satisfaction of the Release Conditions, (b) be binding upon each Grantor, its
successors and assigns and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of
the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their
respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing clause (c), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer
all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement
(including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments, the Loans
owing to it and the Note or Notes, if any, held by it) or in respect of the
Senior Notes to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become
vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party
herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in Section 10.14 of the Credit
Agreement or as applied to the Senior Notes.
SECTION 26. RELEASE; TERMINATION. (a) Upon any sale, lease, transfer
or other disposition of any item of Collateral of any Grantor to any Person
other than another Grantor (or a Subsidiary that is required to be a Grantor) in
a transaction which is permitted by the terms of the Loan Documents, such
Collateral will be sold, leased, transferred or otherwise disposed of free and
clear of the Liens
37
created hereby, and the Collateral Agent will, at such Grantor's expense,
execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall
reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the
assignment and security interest granted hereby. Each Grantor acknowledges and
agrees that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on a
certification by the Company with respect to the matters set forth in this
Section 26.
(b) Upon the satisfaction of the Release Conditions, the pledge and
security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the
Collateral shall revert to the applicable Grantor. At any time and from time to
time prior to such termination, the Collateral Agent shall release any
Collateral in accordance with Section 10.03(b) of the Credit Agreement. If at
any time prior to such termination, the Indenture or the obligation of the
Company to provide equal and ratable security thereunder is terminated, the
rights of the Senior Noteholders and the Trustee hereunder shall simultaneously
terminate. Upon any such termination or release, the Collateral Agent will, at
the applicable Grantor's expense, execute and deliver to such Grantor such
documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination
or release, as the case may be.
SECTION 27. SECURITY INTEREST ABSOLUTE. All rights of the Collateral
Agent and the other Secured Parties and the pledge, assignment and security
interest hereunder, and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder, shall be
irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Grantor hereby
irrevocably waives (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) any
defenses it may now have or may hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or
all of the following:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or
any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any
other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other Obligations of
any other Credit Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents or any other
amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Loan Document,
including, without limitation, any increase in the Secured Obligations resulting
from the extension of additional credit to any Credit Party or any of its
Subsidiaries or otherwise;
(c) any taking, exchange, release or non perfection of any
Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or
waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the
Secured Obligations;
38
(d) any manner of application of any Collateral or any other
collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Secured Obligations, or
any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other
collateral for all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other Obligations of
any other Credit Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents or any other
assets of any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries;
(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate
structure or existence of any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries;
(f) any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Credit Party
any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise),
operations, performance, assets, nature of assets, liabilities or prospects of
any other Credit Party now or hereafter known to such Secured Party (each
Grantor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such
information);
(g) the failure of any other Person to execute this Agreement or any
other Collateral Document, guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of
liability of any Grantor or other grantor or surety with respect to the Secured
Obligations;
(h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any
statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by
any Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, such Grantor or any other Grantor or a third party grantor of a
security interest; or
(i) (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based
upon an election of remedies by any Secured Party that in any manner impairs,
reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Grantor or other
rights of such Grantor to proceed against any of the other Credit Parties, any
other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral and (ii) any defense based

(ii) distributing to the Grantor interest and dividends on property
(including, without limitation, funds and financial assets) in such
Account.
SECTION 4. PRIORITY OF SECURED PARTY'S SECURITY INTEREST. (a) The
Account Holder (i) subordinates to the Security Interest and in favor of the
Secured Party any security interest, lien, or right of recoupment or setoff that
the Account Holder may have, now or in the future, against any Account or
property (including, without limitation, any funds and financial assets)
credited to any Account, and (ii) agrees that it will not exercise any right in
respect of any such security interest or lien or any such right of recoupment or
setoff until the Security Interest is terminated, except that the Account Holder
(A) will retain its prior security interest and lien on property credited to any
Account, (B) may exercise any right in respect of such security interest or
lien, and (C) may exercise any right of recoupment or setoff against any
Account, in the case of clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, to secure or to satisfy,
and only to secure or to satisfy, payment (x) for such property, (y) for its
customary fees and expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of such
Account, and (z) if such Account is a deposit account, for the face amount of
any items that have been credited to such Account but are subsequently returned

permitting a withdrawal, delivery, or payment in violation of Section 3, the

Account Directions or other directions concerning any Account from the Grantor
that are received by the Account Holder before the Account Holder receives and
has a reasonable opportunity to act on a Notice of Exclusive Control.
(b) The Account Holder will not be liable to the Grantor or the
Secured Party for complying with a Notice of Exclusive Control or with an
Account Direction or other direction concerning any Account originated by the
Secured Party, even if the Grantor notifies the Account Holder that the Secured
Party is not legally entitled to issue the Notice of Exclusive Control or
Account Direction or such other direction unless the Account Holder takes the
action after it is served with an injunction, restraining order, or other legal
process enjoining it from doing so, issued by a court of competent jurisdiction,
and had a reasonable opportunity to act on the injunction, restraining order or
other legal process.

Holder except for those expressly set forth in this Agreement and, in the case

other direction concerning any Account or a Notice of Exclusive Control. The
Account Holder may rely on notices and communications it believes given by the
appropriate party.

its officers, directors, employees and agents against claims, liabilities and
expenses arising out of this Agreement (including, without limitation,

agreement in favor of the Secured Party in respect of such property in
substantially the form of this Agreement or otherwise in form and substance
satisfactory to the Secured Party.
(c) Sections 6 and 7 will survive termination of this Agreement.
