shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3. The provisions of
this Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of
any Guarantor to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, and each
Guarantor shall remain liable to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties
for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.
2.3 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor
hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the
Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be
subrogated to any of the rights of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party
against a Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or
guarantee or right of offset held by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party
for the payment of the Borrower Obligations of any Borrower, nor shall any
Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from a
Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor
hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Collateral Agent and the Secured
Parties by any Borrower on account of the Borrower Obligations of each Borrower
are paid in full, no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding and the Revolver
Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on
account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Borrower
Obligations of each Borrower shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall
be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured
Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith
upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the
exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the
Collateral Agent, if required), to be applied against the Borrower Obligations
of each Borrower, whether matured or unmatured, in the order specified in the
Intercreditor Agreement.
2.4 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Borrower Obligations. Each
Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any
reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further
assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Borrower
Obligations made by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may be rescinded
by the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party and any of the Borrower
Obligations continued, and the Borrower Obligations, or the liability of any
other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or
guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to
time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated,
compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Collateral Agent or any
Secured Party, and the Transaction Documents and any other documents executed
and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or
terminated, in whole or in part, as the Collateral Agent (or the Required
Secured Parties or all Secured Parties, as the case may be) may deem advisable
from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at
any time held by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party for the payment of
the Borrower Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or
released. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any
obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it
as security for the Borrower Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this
Section 2 or any property subject thereto.
12
2.5 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and
all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Borrower
Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Collateral Agent or any
Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of
the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Borrower Obligations, and any of
them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred,
or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee
contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between a Borrower and any of the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties,
on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or
consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each
Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice
of default or nonpayment to or upon a Borrower or any of the Guarantors with
respect to the Borrower Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that
the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing,
absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the
validity or enforceability of the Transaction Documents or any Security
Document, any of the Borrower Obligations or any other collateral security
therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or
from time to time held by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, (b) any
defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or
performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by a Borrower
or any other Person against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, or (c)
any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of a
Borrower or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to
constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of a Borrower for its Borrower
Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section
2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or
otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the
Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to,
make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may
have against a Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any
collateral security or guarantee for the Borrower Obligations or any right of
offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Collateral Agent or any
Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies
or to collect any payments from a Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other
Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to
exercise any such right of offset, or any release of a Borrower, any other
Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or
right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability
hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether
express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Collateral Agent or any
Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof "demand" shall
include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings. Each
Guarantor further waives any right such Guarantor may have, by statute or
otherwise, to require any of the Secured Parties to institute suit against a
Borrower or any other Guarantor after notice or demand from such Guarantor or to
seek recourse first against a Borrower or any other Guarantor, or to realize
upon any Collateral, as a condition to enforcing such Guarantor's liability and
obligations hereunder.
2.6 Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall
continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Borrower Obligations is rescinded or
must otherwise be restored or returned by the Collateral Agent or any Secured
Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or
reorganization of a Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the
appointment of a
13
receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, a
Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise,
all as though such payments had not been made.
2.7 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder
will be paid to the Collateral Agent without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars
(or in such other currency as the relevant Transaction Document requires) at
such office of the Collateral Agreement as the Collateral Agent may specify in
writing to the Company from time to time.
SECTION 3. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST
Each Grantor hereby assigns and transfers to the Collateral
Agent, and hereby grants to the Collateral 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
(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 such Grantor's Obligations,:
(a) all Accounts;
(b) all Chattel Paper;
(c) all Deposit Accounts;
(d) all Documents (other than title documents with respect to
Vehicles);
(e) all Equipment;
(f) all General Intangibles;
(g) all Instruments;
(h) all Intellectual Property;
(i) all Inventory;
(j) all Investment Property;
(k) all books and records pertaining to the Collateral; and
(l) to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds, Supporting
Obligations and products of any and all of the foregoing and all collateral
security and guarantees given by any Person with respect to any of the
foregoing; provided, however, that Collateral shall not include property of a
Grantor which requires action outside the United States to perfect a security
interest therein under United States law; and
14
provided further, that notwithstanding any of the other provisions set forth in
this Section 3, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security
interest in any property to the extent that such grant of a security interest is
prohibited by any Requirements of Law of a Governmental Authority, requires a
consent not obtained of any Governmental Authority pursuant to such Requirement
of Law or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results
in the termination of or requires any consent not obtained under, any contract,
license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing or giving rise to
such property or, in the case of any Investment Property, Pledged Stock or
Pledged Note, any applicable shareholder or similar agreement, except to the
extent that such Requirement of Law or the term in such contract, license,
agreement, instrument or other document or shareholder or similar agreement
providing for such prohibition, breach, default or termination or requiring such
consent is ineffective under applicable law.
SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
To induce the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties to make
certain requested modifications to the Transaction Documents, each Grantor
hereby represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party
that:
4.1 Title; No Other Liens. Except for the security interest granted to
the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to
this Agreement and the other Liens permitted to exist on the Collateral by the
Transaction Documents, such Grantor owns each item of the Collateral free and
clear of any and all Liens or claims of others. No financing statement or other
public notice with respect to all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of
record in any public office, except (a) such as have been filed in favor of the
Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to
this Agreement or (b) as are permitted by the Transaction Documents. For the
avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that any Grantor may, as part of
its business, grant licenses to third parties to use Intellectual Property owned
or developed by a Grantor. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Security
Documents, such licensing activity shall not constitute a "Lien" on such
Intellectual Property. Each of the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party
understands that any such licenses may be exclusive to the applicable licensees,
and such exclusivity provisions may limit the ability of the Collateral Agent to
utilize, sell, lease or transfer the related Intellectual Property or otherwise
realize value from such Intellectual Property pursuant hereto.
4.2 Perfected First Priority Liens. The security interests granted
pursuant to this Agreement (a) upon completion of the filings and other actions
specified on Schedule 3 (which, in the case of all filings and other documents
referred to on said Schedule, have been delivered to the Collateral Agent in
completed and duly executed form) will constitute valid perfected security
interests in all of the Collateral, except as otherwise provided in Section 3
hereof, in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured
Parties, as collateral security for such Grantor's Obligations, enforceable in
accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of such Grantor and any
Persons purporting to purchase any Collateral from such Grantor and (b) are
prior to all other Liens on the Collateral in existence on the date hereof
except for Liens permitted by the Transaction Documents which have priority over
the Liens on the Collateral by operation of law.
15
4.3 Jurisdiction of Organization; Chief Executive Office. On the date
hereof, such Grantor's jurisdiction of organization, identification number from
the jurisdiction of organization (if any), and the location of such Grantor's
chief executive office or sole place of business or principal residence, as the
case may be, are specified on Schedule 4.
4.4 Inventory and Equipment. On the date hereof, the Inventory and the
Equipment (other than mobile goods) are kept at the locations listed on Schedule
5.
4.5 Farm Products. None of the Collateral constitutes, or is the
Proceeds of, Farm Products.
4.6 Investment Property. (a) The shares of Pledged Stock pledged by
such Grantor hereunder constitute all the issued and outstanding shares of all
classes of the Capital Stock of each Issuer owned by such Grantor or, in the
case of Foreign Subsidiary Voting Stock, if less, 65% of the outstanding Foreign
Subsidiary Voting Stock of each relevant Issuer.
(b) All the shares of the Pledged Stock have been duly and validly
issued and are fully paid and nonassessable.
(c) Such Grantor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good
and marketable title to, the Investment Property pledged by it hereunder, free
of any and all Liens or options in favor of, or claims of, any other Person,
except the security interest created by this Agreement or such other Liens
permitted under the Transaction Documents.
4.7 Receivables. No amount payable to such Grantor under or in
connection with any Receivable is evidenced by any Instrument or Chattel Paper
which has not been delivered to the Collateral Agent.
4.8 Intellectual Property. (a) Schedule 6 lists all registered
Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor in its own name on the date hereof.
(b) Except as set forth in Schedule 6, on the date hereof, none of the
Intellectual Property is the subject of any licensing or franchise agreement
pursuant to which such Grantor is the licensor or franchisor.
4.9 Guarantor Representations. In the case of each Guarantor:
(a) Such Guarantor (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has the
corporate or other organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to
own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to
conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (iii) is duly qualified
as a foreign corporation or other entity and in good standing under the laws of
each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the
conduct of its business requires such qualification and (iv) is in compliance
with all Requirements of Law except in the case of subparagraphs (iii) and (iv)
above only, to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not have a
material adverse effect on the validity or enforceability of (x) the Transaction
Documents, this Agreement or the other Security Documents or (y) the rights or
remedies of the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties hereunder or thereunder.
16
(b) Such Guarantor has the corporate or other organizational power and
authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Transaction
Documents and the Security Documents to which it is a party and has taken all
necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution,
delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents and the Security Documents
to which it is a party. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to
or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person
is required (except as contemplated in the Security Documents) in connection
with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of the
Transaction Documents and the Security Documents to which the Company is a
party. This Agreement has been, and each other Transaction Documents and
Security Document to which it is a party will be, duly executed and delivered on
behalf of such Guarantor. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Transaction
Document and Security Document to which it is a party when executed and
delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such
Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms,
subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance,
reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting
creditors' rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair
dealing.
(c) The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction
Documents and the Security Documents to which such Guarantor is a party will not
violate any Requirement of Law of such Guarantor or of any of its Subsidiaries
and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on
any of its or their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such
Requirement of Law (other than pursuant to this Agreement).

Each Grantor covenants and agrees with the Collateral Agent
and the Secured Parties that, from and after the date of this Agreement until
the Obligations shall have been paid in full, no Letters of Credit shall be
outstanding and the Revolver Commitments shall have terminated:

Collateral Agent, to be held as Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.
5.2 Maintenance of Insurance. (a) Such Grantor will maintain, with
financially sound and reputable companies, insurance policies (i) insuring the

be in such form and amounts and having such coverage as may be reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties.

and settle any insurance claims and be entitled to retain any Insurance Proceeds
received by it and (ii) the Collateral Agent shall deliver to the applicable
Grantor any Insurance Proceeds received by it; provided that each Grantor shall
promptly apply all Insurance Proceeds to repair and/or replace the Collateral so
damaged or destroyed in such manner as the Grantor shall determine in its
reasonable business judgment.
5.3 Payment of Obligations. Such Grantor will pay and discharge or
otherwise satisfy at or before maturity or before they become delinquent, as the
case may be, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed
upon the Collateral or in respect of income or profits therefrom, as well as all
claims of any kind (including, without limitation, claims for labor, materials
and supplies) against or with respect to the Collateral, except that no such
charge need be paid if the amount or validity thereof is currently being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, reserves in conformity with
GAAP with respect thereto have been provided on the books of such Grantor and
such proceedings could not reasonably be expected to result in the sale,
forfeiture or loss of any material portion of the Collateral or any interest
therein.

(a) Such Grantor shall maintain the security interest created by this Agreement
as a perfected security interest having at least the priority described in

adversely affect the ability of the Collateral Agent to exercise any of its
remedies hereunder; and
(b) of the occurrence of any other event which could reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the security interests created
hereby.
5.7 Investment Property. (a) If such Grantor shall become entitled to
receive or shall receive any certificate (including, without limitation, any
certificate representing a dividend or a distribution in connection with any
reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any certificate issued in
connection with any reorganization), option or rights in respect of the Capital
Stock of any Issuer, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion
of, or in exchange for, any shares of the Pledged Stock, or otherwise in respect
thereof, such Grantor shall accept the same as the agent of the Collateral Agent
and the Secured Parties, hold the same in trust for the Collateral Agent and the
Secured Parties and deliver the same forthwith to the Collateral Agent in the
exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if
required, together with an undated stock power covering such certificate duly
executed in blank by such Grantor to be held by the Collateral Agent, subject to
the terms hereof, as additional collateral security for the Obligations. After
the occurrence of an Event of Default, any sums paid upon or in respect of the
Investment Property upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Issuer shall be
paid over to the Collateral Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional
collateral security for the Obligations, and in case any distribution of capital
shall be made on or in respect of the Investment Property or any property shall
be distributed upon or with respect to the Investment Property pursuant to the
recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of any Issuer or pursuant to
the reorganization thereof after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
property so distributed shall, unless otherwise subject to a perfected security
interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, be delivered to the Collateral Agent
to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the
Obligations. If any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect
of the Investment Property shall be received by such Grantor after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, such Grantor shall, until such money or
property is paid or delivered to the Collateral Agent, hold such money or
property in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated
from other funds of such Grantor, as additional collateral security for the
Obligations.

convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any Capital
Stock of any nature of any Issuer, unless such additional Capital Stock is
pledged to the Collateral Agent, (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or
otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Investment
Property or Proceeds thereof (except pursuant to a transaction expressly
permitted by the Transaction Documents), (iii) create, incur or permit to exist

judgment of the applicable Grantor, (ii) use such Trademark with the appropriate
notice of registration and all other notices and legends required by applicable

security interest in such mark pursuant to this Agreement, and (iv) not (and not
permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to

unless such Grantor shall do such act or knowingly omit to do such act in the
reasonable business judgment of the applicable Grantor.

determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and
Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office) regarding such Grantor's
ownership of, or the validity of, any material Intellectual Property or such
Grantor's right to register the same or to own and maintain the same.
(f) Whenever such Grantor, either by itself or through any agent,
employee, licensee or designee, shall file an application for the registration
of any Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office
or the United States Copyright Office, such Grantor shall report such filing to
the Collateral Agent within five Business Days after the last day of the fiscal
quarter in which such filing occurs. Upon request of the Collateral Agent, such
Grantor shall execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements,
instruments, documents, and papers as the Collateral Agent may request to
evidence the Collateral Agent's and the Secured Parties' security interest in
any Copyright, Patent or Trademark and the goodwill and general intangibles of
such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby.

maintain each registration of the material Intellectual Property, including,
without limitation, filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use and
affidavits of incontestability.

of a Foreign Subsidiary) created or acquired after the date hereof by any
Grantor, such Grantor shall promptly (i) execute and deliver to the Collateral
Agent such amendments to this Agreement as the Collateral Agent deems necessary
or advisable to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of
22
the Secured Parties, a perfected first priority security interest in the Capital

SECTION 6. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS
6.1 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables. (a) The Collateral Agent
hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor's Receivables, subject to
the Collateral Agent's direction and control, including, with respect to any
Receivables for which the obligor thereon is a Governmental Authority, any
direction to comply with the Assignment of Claims Act of 1940 or such relevant
or analogous state law or regulation in respect of such Receivables, and the
Collateral Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. If required by the
Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor,
(i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited
by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the
Collateral Agent if required, in the Collateral Reserve Account, subject to
withdrawal by the Collateral Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only
as provided in Section 6.5, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such
Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated
from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables
shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and
source of the payments included in the deposit.
(b) At the Collateral Agent's request, upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default each Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent all original and
other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions
which gave rise to the Receivables, including, without limitation, all original
orders, invoices and shipping receipts.
6.2 Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable. (a) The
Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate
with obligors under the Receivables to verify with them to the Collateral
Agent's satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables.
24
(b) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent at any time after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall
notify obligors on the Receivables that the Receivables have been assigned to
the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and that
payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent.
(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall
remain liable under the Receivables to observe and perform all the conditions
and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance
with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Collateral
Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any
Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract by reason of or
arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any
Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or
any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations
of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise
thereto) or Contract, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature
or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any
performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any
action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which
may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or
times.
6.3 Pledged Stock. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the
relevant Grantor of the Collateral Agent's intent to exercise its corresponding
rights pursuant to Section 6.3(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive
all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and all payments made in
respect of the Pledged Notes, in each case paid in the normal course of business
of the relevant Issuer and consistent with past practice, to the extent
permitted in the Transaction Documents, and to exercise all voting and corporate
or other organizational rights with respect to the Investment Property;
provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other
organizational right exercised or other action taken which, in the Collateral
Agent's reasonable judgment, would impair the Collateral or which would be
inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Transaction
Documents, this Agreement or any other Security Document.
(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the
Collateral Agent shall give prior written notice of its intent to exercise such
rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Collateral Agent shall have
the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid
in respect of the Investment Property and make application thereof to the
Obligations in the order specified in the Intercreditor Agreement, and (ii) any
or all of the Investment Property shall be registered in the name of the
Collateral Agent or its nominee, and the Collateral Agent or its nominee may
thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to
such Investment Property at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer
or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and
subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such
Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without
limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the
Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization,
recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or other
organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or
the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or
25
option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the
right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property with any
committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon
such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all without
liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the
Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right,
privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or
delay in so doing.
(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any
Investment Property pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any
instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states
that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in
accordance with the terms of this 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) after receipt of such instruction
unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments
with respect to the Investment Property directly to the Collateral Agent.
6.4 Intellectual Property. If an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, each Grantor hereby agrees to grant to the Collateral Agent a
non-exclusive, assignable, sublicenseable right and license to use all such
Intellectual Property to the extent necessary or desirable to complete
work-in-progress and to facilitate the sale (including advertising and
promotional activities related thereto) of all Collateral in the possession or
control of such Grantor as of the date of the Event of Default (or for which
such Grantor has executed a binding agreement on or before the Event of Default
to accept delivery) bearing or subject to such licensed Intellectual Property.
6.5 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Collateral Agent. In addition to the
rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties specified in Section 6.1
with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and
be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks
and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, 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). All Proceeds received by
the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in the
Collateral Reserve Account pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement. All Proceeds
while held by the Collateral Agent in the Collateral Reserve Account (or by such
Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties) shall
continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not
constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.5.
6.6 Application of Proceeds. At the intervals specified in the
Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent may apply all or any part of
Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not held in the Collateral Reserve
Account, in payment of the Obligations in the order specified in the
Intercreditor Agreement, and any part of such funds which the Collateral Agent
elects not so to apply and deems not required as collateral security for the
Obligations shall be paid over from time to time by the Collateral Agent to the
Company or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Any
balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Obligations shall have been paid in
full, no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding and the Revolver Commitments
shall
26
have terminated shall be paid over to the Company or to whomsoever may be
lawfully entitled to receive the same.
6.7 Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may
exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this
Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or
relating to the Obligations, including the Intercreditor Agreement, all rights
and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and in accordance with the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent, without demand of
performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement 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, defenses,
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 Collateral 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 Collateral 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 such 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. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral
Agent's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the
Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select,
whether at such Grantor's premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall
apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6,
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
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements actually incurred, to
the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the
Collateral Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the
payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of
law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the UCC, need the
Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. 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.
6.8 Certain Restrictions on the Public Sale of Pledged Stock. Each
Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public
sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, 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 the 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
27
commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no
obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock 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.
6.9 Deficiency. 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 and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed
by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
SECTION 7. THE COLLATERAL AGENT
7.1 Collateral Agent's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. (a) Each
Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent and any
officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place
and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name,
for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all
appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which
may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the
Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice
to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:
(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise,
take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes,
acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any
Receivable or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral and file any
claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity
or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of
collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or
with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and
have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as
the Collateral Agent may request to evidence the Collateral Agent's and the
Secured Parties' security interest in such Intellectual Property and the
goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or
represented thereby;
(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or
threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance
called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the
premiums therefor and the costs thereof;
(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.6
or 6.7, any indorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or
transfer with respect to the Collateral; and
(v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the
Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due
thereunder directly to the Collateral
28
Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for,
collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims
and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising
out of any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or
express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts
against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in
connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any
suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent
jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to
enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit,
action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any
Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or
proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases
as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright,
Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any
such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout the world for
such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the
Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8) generally,
sell, transfer, pledge and 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 do,
at the Collateral Agent's option and such Grantor's expense, at any time,
or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems
necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the
Collateral Agent's and the Secured Parties' security interests therein and
to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as
such Grantor might do.
Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of
attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing.
(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its
agreements contained herein, the Collateral 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 Collateral Agent incurred in connection with
actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, together with interest
thereon at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum at which
interest would then be payable on any category of past due Base Rate Loans under
the Revolver Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent
to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor
to the Collateral Agent on demand.
(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully
do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. 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.
7.2 Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent's sole duty 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 Collateral Agent deals with similar property
for its own account. Neither the Collateral Agent, any Secured Party nor any of
their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for
failure
29
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 Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder are
solely to protect the Collateral Agent's and the Secured Parties' interests 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
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.
7.3 Execution of Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable law,
each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to file or record financing
statements 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 Collateral Agent determines appropriate to perfect the security
interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor authorizes
the Collateral Agent to use the collateral description "all personal property to
the extent located in the United States" in any such financing statements. Each
Grantor hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing by the Collateral Agent of any
financing statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date
hereof.
7.4 Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the
rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with
respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or
non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request,
judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising
out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the Secured
Parties, be governed by the Intercreditor Agreement and by such other agreements
with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between
the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be
conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full
and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be
under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such
authority and such Grantor shall be entitled to rely upon any releases,
certificates and waivers executed by the Collateral Agent without liability to
the Secured Parties.
SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS
8.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this
Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a
signed written agreement by and among each Grantor and the Collateral Agent.
8.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the
Collateral Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner
provided for in Section 22 of the Intercreditor Agreement; provided that any
such notice, request or demand to or upon any Grantor shall be addressed to such
Grantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1.
30
8.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the
Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written
instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be
deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any
Actionable Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in
exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or
partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any right or
remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any
right or remedy which the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party would otherwise
have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are
cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any
other rights or remedies provided by law.
8.4 Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Grantor agrees (i) to pay or
reimburse the Collateral Agent for all its out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and
any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other
Security Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or
therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements
of counsel to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and filing and
recording fees and expenses, (ii) to pay or reimburse each Secured Party and the
Collateral Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other
Security Documents and any such other documents, including the fees and
disbursements of counsel to each Secured Party and of counsel to the Collateral
Agent actually incurred, (iii) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Secured Party
and the Collateral Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees
and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in
paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, that may be payable or determined
to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation
or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment,
supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of,
this Agreement, the other Security Documents and any such other documents, and
(iv) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Secured Party and the Collateral Agent and
their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and
controlling persons (each, an "Indemnitee") harmless from and against any and
all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with
respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration
of this Agreement, the other Security Documents and any such other documents,
including (other than any of the foregoing relating to the violation of,
noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the
operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries or any of the Properties, the
indemnification with respect to which shall be governed by the Environmental
Indemnity Agreement) the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in
connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against the
Company and its Subsidiaries under any this Agreement or the other Security
Documents (all the foregoing in this clause (iv), collectively, the "Indemnified
Liabilities"), provided, that the Company shall have no obligation hereunder to
any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such
Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a
court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the
31
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. An Indemnitee shall
not settle or compromise any Indemnified Liability without the consent of the
indemnifying Grantor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the applicable
Grantor shall have the right, at its expense, to assume the defense of any
Indemnified Liability with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the applicable
Indemnitee; provided, however, that if the applicable Grantor fails to assume
such defense in a timely manner, the applicable Indemnitee may so assume such
defense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Grantors shall
not, in connection with any claims, actions or proceedings, or separate but
substantially similar or related claims, actions or proceedings in the same
jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be
obligated to reimburse the Indemnitees for the legal fees and expenses of more
than one firm of attorneys (in addition to one firm of attorneys acting as local
counsel) except to the extent that actual or potential conflicts interest exist
between Indemnitees with respect to such claims, actions or proceedings that
would require separate counsel. All amounts due under this Section 8.4 shall be
payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor. Statements payable
by the Company pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall be submitted to Robert D.
Martin (Telephone No. (678) 742-8100) (Telecopy No. (678) 742-8995), at the

Collateral Agent.
(b) The agreements in this Section 8.4 shall survive repayment of the
Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Transaction Documents and
the other Security Documents.
8.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the
successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns;
provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent.
8.6 Set-Off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral
Agent and each Secured Party at any time and from time to time while an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Grantor or
any other Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor, to
set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time
or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits,
indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or
indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or
owing by the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party to or for the credit or the
account of such Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as the Collateral
Agent or such Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations
and liabilities of such Grantor to the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party
hereunder and claims of every nature and description of the Collateral Agent or
such Secured Party against such Grantor, in any currency, whether arising
hereunder, under any Transaction Document or otherwise, as the Collateral Agent
or such Secured Party may elect, whether or not the Collateral Agent or any
Secured Party has made any demand for payment and although such obligations,
liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The Collateral Agent and
each Secured Party shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off and
the application made by the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party of the
proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
the validity of such set-off and application. The rights
32
of the Collateral Agent and each Secured Party under this Section 8.6 are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other
rights of set-off) which the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party may have.
8.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the
parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by
telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to
constitute one and the same instrument.
8.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
8.9 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are
for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof
or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
8.10 Integration. The Transaction Documents, this Agreement and the

Agent and the Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties

for the Northern District of Georgia, and appellate courts from any thereof;
(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such

(c) agrees that the courts of the State of Georgia , the courts of the
United States of America for the Northern District of Georgia, and appellate

Security Documents to which it is a party brought by any or all of the Grantors
against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party;
33
(d) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may
be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any
substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Grantor at its
address referred to in Section 8.2 or at such other address of which the
Collateral Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;
(e) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service
of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue
in any other jurisdiction; and
(f) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it
may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in
this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is
solely that of debtor and creditor;
(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the Transaction Documents
or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the

become a Grantor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery
by such Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex 1 hereto.
8.15 Releases. (a) At such time as the Secured Debt and the other
Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnity
obligations which survive the repayment of the Secured Debt by their terms but
with respect to which no amounts are then owing), the Revolver Commitments have
been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding, and the
Collateral Agent shall have received the written consent or directions of the
Secured Parties in accordance with Section 14 of the Intercreditor Agreement,

Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such
termination) of the Collateral Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate,
all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party,
and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. At the request
and sole expense of any Grantor following any such termination, the Collateral
Agent shall deliver to such Grantor any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent
hereunder, and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such
Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
34
(b) If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise
disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Transaction
Documents, then the Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of such
Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases or other
documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created
hereby on such Collateral. At the request and sole expense of the Company, a
Subsidiary of the Company who is a Guarantor hereunder shall be released from
its obligations hereunder in the event that all the Capital Stock of such
Subsidiary shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a transaction
permitted by the Transaction Documents; provided that the Company shall have

Subsidiary and the terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail,
