(b) COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS. Each Grantor hereby covenants and

all Pledged Equity Interests immediately upon any Grantor's acquisition
of rights therein and shall not be affected by the failure of any Grantor
to deliver a supplement to Schedule 3.2 as required hereby;
(iii) except as provided in the next sentence or in the Credit
Agreement, in the event such Grantor receives any dividends, interest or
distributions on any Pledged Equity Interest, or any securities or other
property upon the merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of
any issuer of any Pledged Equity Interest, then (a) such dividends,
interest or distributions and securities or other property shall be
included in the definition of Collateral without further action and (b)
such Grantor shall within 10 days take all steps, if any, necessary or
advisable to ensure the validity, perfection, priority and, if
applicable, control of the Collateral Agent over such Pledged Equity
Interests (including, without limitation, delivery thereof to the
Collateral Agent) and pending any such action such Grantor shall be
deemed to hold such dividends, interest, distributions, securities or
other property in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent authorizes each Grantor
to retain all ordinary cash dividends and distributions and all payments
of interest;
(iv) it shall comply with all of its obligations under any limited
liability company agreement relating to Pledged LLC Interests;
(v) without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, it
shall not permit any issuer of any Pledged Equity Interest to merge or

property is distributed in respect of the outstanding equity interests of
any other constituent company; and

security interest in all Pledged Equity Interests to the Collateral Agent
and, without limiting the foregoing, consents to the transfer of any
Pledged Equity Interest to the Collateral Agent or its nominee following
an Event of Default and to the substitution of the Collateral Agent or
its nominee as a shareholder or member (as the case may be) with all the
rights and powers related thereto.
(c) DELIVERY AND CONTROL. Each Grantor agrees that with respect to
any Pledged Equity Interests in which it currently has rights it shall comply
with the provisions of this Section 3.2(c) on or before the date hereof and with
respect to any Pledged Equity Interests hereafter acquired by such Grantor it
shall comply with the provisions of this Section 3.2(c) promptly upon acquiring
rights therein, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent. With respect to any Pledged Equity Interest that is
represented by a certificate or that is an "instrument", it shall cause such
certificate or instrument to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, indorsed in
blank by an "effective indorsement" (as defined in Section 8-107 of the UCC),
regardless of whether such certificate constitutes a "certificated security" for
purposes of the UCC. With respect to any Pledged Equity Interest that is an
"uncertificated security" for purposes of the UCC, it shall cause the issuer of
such uncertificated security to either (i) register the Collateral Agent as the
registered owner thereof on the books and records of the issuer or (ii) execute
an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, pursuant to which
such issuer agrees to comply with the Collateral Agent's instructions with
respect to such uncertificated security without further consent by such Grantor.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the
Collateral Agent shall have the right, without notice to any Grantor, to
transfer all or any portion of the Pledged Equity Interests to its name or the
name of its nominee or agent. In addition, the Collateral
8
<Page>
Agent shall have the right at any time upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, without notice to any Grantor, to exchange
any certificates or instruments representing any Pledged Equity Interest for
certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.
(d) VOTING AND DISTRIBUTIONS.
(i) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing:
(A) except as otherwise provided in Section 3.2(b)(i) of this
Agreement or elsewhere herein or in the Credit Agreement, each
Grantor shall be entitled to exercise or refrain from exercising
any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the
Pledged Equity Interests or any part thereof for any purpose not
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Credit
Agreement; PROVIDED, no Grantor shall exercise or refrain from
exercising any such right if such exercise would constitute a
breach of a representation or obligation under the Credit
Agreement or would adversely affect the validity or enforceability
of this Agreement or the Collateral Agent's rights hereunder or
the transferability of such Pledged Equity Interests or would
adversely affect the validity, perfection or priority of the
Collateral Agent's security interest; it being understood,
however, that neither the voting by such Grantor of any Pledged
Stock for, or such Grantor's consent to, the election of directors
(or similar governing body) at a regularly scheduled annual or
other meeting of stockholders or with respect to incidental
matters at any such meeting, nor such Grantor's consent to or
approval of any action otherwise permitted under this Agreement
and the Credit Agreement, shall be deemed inconsistent with the
terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement within the meaning
of this Section 3.2(d)(i)(A), and no notice of any such voting or
consent need be given to the Collateral Agent; and
(B) the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause
to be executed and delivered) to each Grantor all proxies, and
other instruments as such Grantor may from time to time reasonably
request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the
voting and other consensual rights when and to the extent which it
is entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (A) above;
(ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event
of Default:
(A) all rights of each Grantor to exercise or refrain from exercising
the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be
entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease and all such
rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent who
shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and
other consensual rights; and
(B) in order to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and
other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise
pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other
distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder: (1)
each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be
executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent all proxies,
dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral
Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (2) each
Grantor acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may utilize the
power of attorney set forth in Section 5.

SECTION 4. ACCESS; RIGHT OF INSPECTION AND FURTHER ASSURANCES; ADDITIONAL
GRANTORS.
4.1. ACCESS; RIGHT OF INSPECTION. The Collateral Agent shall at all times
have full and free access during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior
written notice to all the books, correspondence and records of each Grantor, and
the Collateral Agent and its representatives may examine the same, take extracts
therefrom and make photocopies thereof, and each Grantor agrees to render to the
Collateral Agent, at such Grantor's cost and expense, such clerical and other
assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto. The Collateral
Agent and its representatives shall at all times during normal business hours
upon reasonable prior written notice also have the right to enter any premises
of each Grantor and inspect any property of each Grantor where any of the
Collateral of such Grantor granted pursuant to this Agreement is located for the
purpose of inspecting the same, observing its use or otherwise protecting its
interests therein.
4.2. FURTHER ASSURANCES.
(a) Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of
such Grantor, that it shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments
and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable,
or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to create and/or
maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security
interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Collateral
Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to
any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor
shall:
(i) file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments
thereto, and execute and deliver such other agreements, instruments,
endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, as may be necessary or
desirable, or as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to
perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be
granted hereby; and
(ii) at the Collateral Agent's request, appear in and defend any
action or proceeding that may affect such Grantor's title to or the
Collateral Agent's security interest in all or any part of the
Collateral.
(b) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file a
Record or Records, including, without limitation, financing or continuation
statements, and amendments thereto, in all jurisdictions and with all filing
offices as the Collateral Agent may reasonably determine, in its sole
discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted
to the Collateral Agent herein. Such financing statements may describe the
Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication
or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as
the Collateral Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary,
advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the
Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent herein. Each Grantor shall furnish to
the Collateral Agent from time to time statements and schedules further
identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection
with the Collateral as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in
reasonable detail.
4.3. ADDITIONAL GRANTORS. From time to time subsequent to the date
hereof, additional Persons may become parties hereto as additional Grantors
(each, an "ADDITIONAL GRANTOR"), by executing a counterpart to this agreement by
which it agrees to be bound hereby as though it were an original signatory
hereto and provides supplements to the schedules hereto with respect to itself
and its Collateral. Upon delivery of any such Counterpart Agreement to the
Collateral Agent, notice of which is
10
<Page>
hereby waived by Grantors, each Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall
be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Grantor were an original
signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising
hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any
other Grantor hereunder, nor by any election of the Collateral Agent not to
cause any Subsidiary of any Borrower to become an Additional Grantor hereunder.
This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor that is or becomes a
party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become
or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.
SECTION 5. COLLATERAL AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.
5.1. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the
Collateral Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such
Grantor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such
Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, the Collateral Agent or otherwise, from
time to time in the Collateral Agent's discretion to take any action and to
execute any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary
or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, the following:
(a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such
Grantor or paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement;
(b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, to ask for, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and
give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in
respect of any of the Collateral;
(c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments,
documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (b) above;
(d) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that
the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any
of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent
with respect to any of the Collateral;
(e) to prepare and file any UCC financing statements against such Grantor
as debtor;
(f) to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to perform or
comply or cause performance or compliance with the terms of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, access to pay or discharge taxes or Security
Interests levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, the
legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to
be determined by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, any such payments
made by the Collateral Agent to become obligations of such Grantor to the
Collateral Agent, due and payable immediately without demand;
(g) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to
or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though
the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes; and
11
<Page>
(h) to do, at the Collateral Agent's option and such Grantor's
expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the
Collateral Agent deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon
the Collateral and the Collateral Agent's security interest therein in order to
effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such
Grantor might do.
5.2. NO DUTY ON THE PART OF COLLATERAL AGENT OR SECURED PARTIES. The
powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the
interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty
upon the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The
Collateral 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 or their affiliates' 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 wilful misconduct.
SECTION 6. REMEDIES.
6.1. GENERALLY.
(a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to
all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it
at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the
UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect,
enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration
or otherwise, and also may, without notice except as specified below or required
under the UCC, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or non-exclusive
basis) or otherwise dispose of 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, at such time or times and
at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may
deem commercially reasonable.
(b) The Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser
of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private sale in accordance with
the UCC and the Collateral Agent, as collateral agent for and representative of
the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making
settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the
Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and
apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase
price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale. Each
purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any
claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to
the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or
appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule
of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that,
to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) 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. Each Grantor agrees
that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to
dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that
provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or
that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and
sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral
Agent and the Secured Parties arising by reason of the fact that the price at
which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the
price which might have been
12
<Page>
obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer
received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the
proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to
pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and
the fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such
deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants
contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent,
that the Collateral Agent has 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 except for a defense that no default has
occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior
to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the
rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder.
(c) The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any
warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim
or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be
considered to adversely effect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the
Collateral.
(d) If the Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral on credit, the
Secured Obligations will be credited only with payments actually made by the
purchaser and received by the Collateral Agent and applied to the indebtedness
of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral,
the Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral.
(e) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshall any of the
Collateral.
6.2. PLEDGED EQUITY INTERESTS.
(a) Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions
contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the
Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part
of the Pledged Equity Interests conducted without prior registration or
qualification of such Pledged Equity Interests under the Securities Act and/or
such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among
other things, to acquire the Pledged Equity Interests for their own account, for
investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each
Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms
less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such
restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration
statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances,
each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made
in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no
obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any
Pledged Equity Interests for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer
thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under
the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such
issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Collateral Agent
determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Equity
Interests, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer
of any Pledged Equity Interest to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each
limited liability company from time to time to furnish to the Collateral Agent
all such information as the Collateral Agent may request in order to determine
the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the
Pledged Equity Interests which may be sold by the Collateral Agent in exempt
transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time
in effect.
13
<Page>
6.3. CASH PROCEEDS. All proceeds of any Collateral received by any
Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items (collectively,
"CASH PROCEEDS") following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent,
segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt
by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form
received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent,
if required) and held by the Collateral Agent.
6.4. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in
this Agreement, all proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any
sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the
Collateral shall be applied in full or in part by the Collateral Agent against,
the Secured Obligations in the following order of priority: FIRST, to the
payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization,
including reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent and its agents and
counsel, and all other expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by
the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, and all amounts for which the
Collateral Agent is entitled to indemnification hereunder (in its capacity as
the Collateral Agent and not as a Lender) and all advances made by the
Collateral Agent hereunder for the account of the applicable Grantor, and to the
payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent in
connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under the
Credit Agreement, all in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof; SECOND, to
the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment of all other Secured
Obligations for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties; and THIRD, to the
extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment to or upon the order of
such Grantor or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as
a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
SECTION 7. COLLATERAL AGENT.
The Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent
hereunder by the Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the
other Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have
the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain
from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action
(including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral),
solely in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement; provided, the
Collateral Agent shall, after payment in full of all Obligations under the
Credit Agreement and the other Senior Finance Documents, exercise, or refrain
from exercising, any remedies provided for herein in accordance with the
instructions of the holders of a majority of the aggregate notional amount (or,
with respect to any Hedging Agreement that has been terminated in accordance
with its terms, the amount then due and payable (exclusive of expenses and
similar payments but including any early termination payments then due) under
such Hedging Agreement) under all Hedging Agreements. In furtherance of the
foregoing provisions of this Section, each Hedging Lender and Ancillary Lender,
by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right
individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being
understood and agreed by such Hedging Lender or Ancillary Lender that all rights
and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section. The
Collateral Agent may resign or be removed and a successor Collateral Agent may
be appointed, all in accordance with Clause 22.9 of the Credit Agreement. After
any retiring or removed Collateral Agent's resignation or removal as the
Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as
to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it
was the Collateral Agent hereunder.
14
<Page>
SECTION 8. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF LOANS.
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the
Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full
of all Secured Obligations, the cancellation or termination of the Commitments
and the cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Bank Guarantees, be
binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with
the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the
Collateral Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns for the benefit and
on behalf of the Secured Parties. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, any Secured Party
may assign or otherwise transfer any Advances held by it to any other Person,
and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in
respect thereof granted to Lenders herein or otherwise. Upon the payment in full
of all Secured Obligations, the cancellation or termination of the Commitments
and the cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Bank Guarantees, the
security interest granted hereby shall terminate hereunder and of record and all
rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors. Upon any such termination the
Collateral Agent shall, at Grantors' expense, execute and deliver to Grantors
such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination.
SECTION 9. STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM.
The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to
protect its interest, for the benefit and on behalf of the Secured Parties, in
the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such
powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the 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 or as
to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior 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
Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property.
Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or
agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any
part 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 otherwise. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement
contained herein, the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance
of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in
connection therewith shall be payable by each Grantor.
SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS.
Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall
be given in accordance with Section 25 of the Credit Agreement. No failure or
delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any power, right or
privilege hereunder or under any other Senior Finance Document shall impair such
power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or
acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such
power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any
other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this
Agreement and the other Senior Finance Documents are cumulative to, and not
exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision
in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other
jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All
covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular
action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants,
15
<Page>
the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be
within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a
Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or such condition exists.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Collateral
Agent and Grantors and their respective successors and assigns. No Grantor
shall, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent given in
accordance with the Credit Agreement, assign any right, duty or obligation
hereunder. Subject to Clause 27 (Changes to Parties) of the Credit Agreement,
any Secured Party may assign or grant participations in its Secured Obligations
without affecting the validity of this Agreement. This Agreement and the other
Senior Finance Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between
Grantors and the Collateral Agent and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and
thereof. Accordingly, the Senior Finance Documents may not be contradicted by
evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties.
There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. This Agreement may
be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be
deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one
and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate
counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages
are physically attached to the same document. This Agreement may be amended only
in writing signed by the Grantors and the Collateral Agent. The Grantors and the
Secured Party hereby irrevocably waive all rights to a trial by jury in any
action, proceeding, or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or the transactions contemplated hereby.
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
