Company or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available
other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to
the Collateral Agent on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the
Company, any Subsidiary or any of their Representatives that is not known to
such Person to be subject to any obligation of confidentiality to the Company or
any Subsidiary. For the purposes of this Section, "Information" means all
information received from the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their
Representatives relating to the Company, the Subsidiaries or their businesses,
other than any such information that is available to the Collateral Agent on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the absolute right to share any
information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party
that agrees to be bound by an agreement containing provisions substantially the
same as those of this Section; provided, however, that the exercise of such
right shall not violate any securities law or regulation.
Section 4.05. Taxes; Encumbrances. In accordance with, and to
the extent consistent with, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, at its
option, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges,
fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or
placed on the Collateral and not permitted under the Indenture, and may pay for
the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral to the extent any Grantor
fails to do so as required by the Indenture or this Agreement, and each Grantor
jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any
payment made or any expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the
foregoing authorization; provided, however, that nothing in this
13
Section 4.05 shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance
of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to
cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to
taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other
encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Indenture
Documents.
Section 4.06. Assignment of Security Interest. If at any time
any Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Account Debtor
or any other Person to secure payment and performance of an Account, such
Grantor shall promptly assign such security interest to the Credit Agent and the
Collateral Agent. Such assignment need not be filed of public record unless
necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against
creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting
the security interest.
Section 4.07. Continuing Obligations of the Grantors. Each
Grantor shall remain liable to observe and perform all the conditions and
obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or
instrument relating to the Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and
conditions thereof, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties from and against
any and all liability for such performance.
Section 4.08. Use and Disposition of Collateral. None of the
Grantors shall make or permit to be made an assignment, pledge or hypothecation
of the Collateral or shall grant any other Lien in respect of the Collateral,
except as expressly permitted by the Indenture. Unless and (in accordance with,
and to the extent consistent with, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement)
until the Collateral Agent shall notify the Grantors (which notice may be given
by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing) that (i) an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) during the continuance thereof
the Grantors shall not sell, convey, lease, assign, transfer or otherwise
dispose of any Collateral, the Grantors may use and dispose of the Collateral in
any lawful manner not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the
Indenture or any other Indenture Document. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that it shall not permit any Inventory to be
in the possession or control of any warehouseman, bailee, agent or processor at
any time, other than Inventory that is in transit by any means, unless such
warehouseman, bailee, agent or processor shall have been notified of the
Security Interest and each Grantor shall use its best efforts to obtain a
written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent to hold the Inventory subject to the Security Interest and the
instructions of the Credit Agent (or, if the First-Lien Termination Date has
occurred, the Collateral Agent) and to waive and release any Lien held by it
with respect to such Inventory, whether arising by operation of law or
otherwise.
Section 4.09. Limitation on Modification of Accounts. None of
the Grantors will, without the prior written consent of the Credit Agent (or, if
the First-Lien Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent), grant any
extension of the time of payment of any of the Accounts Receivable, compromise,
compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release,
wholly or partly, any Person liable for the
14
payment thereof or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon, other than
extensions, credits, discounts, compromises or settlements granted or made in
the ordinary course of business and consistent with its current practices and in
accordance with such prudent and standard practices used in industries that are
the same as or similar to those in which such Grantor is engaged.
Section 4.10. Insurance. The Grantors, at their own expense,
shall maintain or cause to be maintained insurance covering physical loss or
damage to the Inventory and Equipment with financially sound and reputable
insurers and against such risks as are customarily insured against by Persons
engaged in the same or similar business, and of such types and in such amounts
as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other Persons.
Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor irrevocably makes,
constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or
agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantor's true and lawful
agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, during the continuance of an Event
of Default, of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Collateral
under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check,
draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of
insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto.
Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, in the event that any Grantor at any
time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance
required hereby or to pay any premium in whole or part relating thereto, the
Collateral Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability
of the Grantors hereunder or any Event of Default, in its sole discretion,
obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any
other actions with respect thereto as the Collateral Agent deems reasonably
advisable. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, all sums disbursed by the
Collateral Agent in connection with this Section 4.10, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall
be payable, upon demand, by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent and shall be
additional Obligations secured hereby.
Section 4.11. Legend. Each Grantor shall legend, in form and
manner reasonably satisfactory to the Credit Agent (or, if the First-Lien
Termination Date has occurred, the Collateral Agent), its Accounts Receivable
and its books, records and documents evidencing or pertaining thereto with an
appropriate reference to the fact that such Accounts Receivable have been
assigned to the Credit Agent and the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
Secured Parties and each of the Credit Agent and the Collateral Agent has a
security interest therein.
Section 4.12. Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and
Copyright Collateral. (a) Each Grantor agrees that it will not, nor will it
permit any of its licensees to, do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any
Patent which is material to the conduct of such Grantor's business may become
invalidated or dedicated to the public, and agrees, to the extent practicable,
that it shall continue to mark any products covered by a Patent with the
relevant patent number as necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its
maximum rights under applicable patent laws.
15
(b) Each Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or its
sublicensees) will, for each Trademark material to the conduct of such Grantor's
business, (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any claim of
abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products and
services offered under such Trademark, (iii) display such Trademark with notice
of federal or foreign registration to the extent necessary and sufficient to
establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable law and (iv) not
knowingly use or knowingly permit the use of such Trademark in violation of any
third party rights.
(c) Each Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will, for
each work covered by a material Copyright, continue to publish, reproduce,
display, adopt and distribute the work with appropriate copyright notice as
necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its maximum rights under
applicable copyright laws.
(d) Each Grantor shall notify the Collateral Agent promptly if
it knows that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the conduct of its
business may become abandoned, lost or dedicated to the public, or of any
adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such
determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and
Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office) regarding such Grantor's
ownership of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright, its right to register the same,
or to keep and maintain the same.
(e) In no event shall any Grantor, either itself or through any
agent, employee, licensee or designee, file an application for any Patent,
Trademark or Copyright (or for the registration of any Trademark or Copyright)
with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright
Office or any office or agency in any political subdivision of the United
States, unless it promptly informs the Collateral Agent, and, in accordance
with, and to the extent consistent with, the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement, upon request of the Collateral Agent, executes and delivers any and
all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may
request to evidence the Collateral Agent's security interest in such Patent,
Trademark or Copyright, and, in accordance with, and to the extent consistent
with, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor hereby appoints the
Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact to execute and file such writings for
the foregoing purposes (and, prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default or
Default, such Grantor shall be notified of such filing), all acts of such
attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; such power, being coupled with an
interest, is irrevocable.
(f) Each Grantor will take all necessary steps that are
consistent with the practice in any proceeding before the United States Patent
and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any office or agency in
any political subdivision of the United States, to maintain and pursue each
material application relating to the Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights (and
to obtain the relevant grant or registration) and to maintain each issued Patent
and each registration of the Trademarks and Copyrights that is material to the
conduct of any Grantor's business, including timely filings of applications for
renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of
16
maintenance fees, and, if consistent with good business judgment, to initiate
opposition, interference and cancelation proceedings against third parties.
(g) In the event that any Grantor has reason to believe that any
Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the
conduct of any Grantor's business has been or is about to be infringed,
misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor promptly shall notify
the Collateral Agent and shall, if consistent with good business judgment,
promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any
and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and take
such other actions as are appropriate under the circumstances to protect such
Collateral.
(h) Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each
Grantor shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all requisite consents
or approvals by the licensor of each Copyright License, Patent License or
Trademark License to effect the assignment of all of such Grantor's right, title
and interest thereunder to the Credit Agent and the Collateral Agent or their
designees for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the
Intercreditor Agreement.
Section 4.13. Compliance with the TIA. To the extent applicable,
the Issuer will comply with TIA Section 314(b), relating to opinions of counsel
regarding the Lien and Security Interest created pursuant to this Agreement and
the other Indenture Documents.
ARTICLE V.
POWER OF ATTORNEY
Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the
Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the
Collateral Agent) as such Grantor's true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact,
and in such capacity the Collateral Agent shall have the right, with power of
substitution for each Grantor and in each Grantor's name or otherwise, for the
use and benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (a) to receive,
endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts,
money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any
part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and
give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to sign the
name of any Grantor on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the
Collateral; (d) to send verifications of Accounts Receivable to any Account
Debtor; (e) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings
at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or
otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in
respect of any Collateral; (f) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend
any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (g)
to notify, or to require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment
directly to the Collateral Agent; and (h) to use, sell, assign, transfer,
pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of
the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the
purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though
17
the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes;
provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring
or obligating the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to make any commitment
or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received
by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, or to present or file any claim or
notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof
or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered
thereby, and no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent or
any Secured Party with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof shall give
rise to any defense, counterclaim or offset in favor of any Grantor or (unless
such action is the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct) to any
claim or action against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party. It is
understood and agreed that the appointment of the Collateral Agent as the agent
and attorney-in-fact of the Grantors for the purposes set forth above is coupled
with an interest and is irrevocable. The provisions of this Section shall in no
event relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations hereunder or under any other
Indenture Document with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or impose
any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to proceed in any
particular manner with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, or in any
way limit the exercise by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any other
or further right which it may have on the date of this Agreement or hereafter,
whether hereunder, under any other Indenture Document, by law or otherwise.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article V to the contrary, the
Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of
attorney provided for in this Article V unless it does so in accordance with,
and to the extent consistent with, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.
ARTICLE VI.
REMEDIES
Section 6.01. Remedies upon Default. In accordance with, and to
the extent consistent with, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor
agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Collateral Agent on demand, and
it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to take any of or
all the following actions at the same or different times: (a) with respect to
any Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the
Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or
all such Collateral by the applicable Grantors to the Collateral Agent, or to
license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an
exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any such Collateral throughout the world on
such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall
determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing or contractual
arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be obtained), and (b) with or
without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for
performance, to take possession of the Collateral and without liability for
trespass to enter any premises where the Collateral may be located for the
purpose of taking possession of or removing the Collateral and, generally, to
exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the UCC or other
applicable law. Without
18
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in accordance with, and to the extent
consistent with, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor agrees
that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory
requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part
of the Collateral, at public or private sale or at any broker's board or on any
securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the
Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be
authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the
prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that
they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not
with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any
such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and
deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such
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 law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal
which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule
of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
The Collateral Agent shall give the Grantors 10 days' prior
written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the
meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC as in effect in the State of New York or its
equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent's intention to make
any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state
the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker's board
or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such
sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will
first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall
be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place
or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of
such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may
be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral
Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent
shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine
not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral
shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication,
adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time
to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may,
without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so
adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on
credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the
Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers
thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such
purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold
and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like
notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made
pursuant to this Section, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to
the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or
appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived
and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof
offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then
due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the
purchase price, and such Secured Party
19
may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such
property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes
hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof
shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry
out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the
return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding
the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an
agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations
paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred
upon it, in accordance with, and to the extent consistent with, the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at
law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any
portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having
competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed
receiver.
Section 6.02. Application of Proceeds. In accordance with, and
to the extent consistent with, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the
Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of the
Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, as follows:
FIRST, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the
Trustee or the Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such hereunder or
under any other Indenture Document) in connection with such collection
or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other
Indenture Document or any of the Obligations (or any such costs and
expenses incurred by a trustee or a collateral agent in connection with
Other Second-Lien Obligations), including all court costs and the
reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the
repayment of all advances made by the Trustee or Collateral Agent
hereunder or under any other Indenture Document on behalf of any Grantor
and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise
of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Indenture Document
and any other amounts due to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent under
Section 7.07 of the Indenture;
SECOND, to the payment in full of the Obligations owed to the
Holders and any Other Second-Lien Obligations owed to holders of such
Indebtedness (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Holders
and any holders of Other Second-Lien Obligations pro rata in accordance
with the amounts of the Obligations owed to the Holders and Other
Second-Lien Obligations owed to holders of such Indebtedness on the date
of any such distribution); and
THIRD, to the Grantors, their successors or assigns, or as a
court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the
time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with
this Agreement. The Collateral Agent may fix a record date and payment date for
any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.02. At least 15 days before
such record date, the Collateral Agent shall mail to each Holder and the Issuer
a notice that states the record date, the
20
payment date and the amount to be paid. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the
Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or
under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the
officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or
purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not
be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid
over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the
misapplication thereof.
Section 6.03. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. In
accordance with, and to the extent consistent with, the Intercreditor Agreement,
for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies
under this Article at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully
entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the
Collateral Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without
payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to the extent that
such license does not violate any then existing licensing arrangements (to the
extent that waivers cannot be obtained) to use, license or sub-license any of
the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter
acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in
such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items
may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the
compilation or printout thereof and sufficient rights of quality control in
favor of Grantor to avoid the invalidation of the Trademarks subject to the
license. The use of such license by the Collateral Agent shall be exercised, at
the option of the Collateral Agent (if the First-Lien Termination Date has
occurred), upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default; provided that any license, sub-license or other transaction entered
into by the Collateral Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the
Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.
ARTICLE VII.

Section 7.03. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made by any Grantor herein and in the
certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or
pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the
Secured Parties and shall survive the purchase and resale of the Notes by the
Initial Purchasers, regardless of any investigation made by the Initial
Purchasers or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect until
this Agreement shall terminate.
Section 7.04. Binding Effect; Several Agreement. This Agreement
shall become effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on
behalf of such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a
counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent,
and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor and the Collateral Agent and
their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such
Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective
successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or
transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the
Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as
expressly contemplated by this Agreement, the Indenture or other Indenture
Documents. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with
respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or
released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor
and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.
Section 7.05. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement
any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to

respective successors and assigns.
Section 7.06. Collateral Agent's Fees and Expenses;
Indemnification. In accordance with, and to the extent consistent with, the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, (a) each Grantor jointly and severally
agrees to pay upon demand to the Collateral Agent the amount of any and all
reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other
charges of its counsel and of any experts or agents, which the Collateral Agent
may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the
custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization

of them harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
related expenses, including reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of
counsel, incurred by or asserted against any of them arising out of, in any way
connected with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of
this Agreement or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating
hereto or to the Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto;
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to
the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses
have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee.
(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be
additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The
provisions of this Section 7.06 shall remain operative and in full force and
effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Indenture
Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the
repayment of any of the Notes, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or
provision of this Agreement or any other Indenture Document, or any

Section 7.07. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Section 7.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the
Collateral Agent in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or
power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or
power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder
and of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Holders under the other
Indenture Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or
remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provisions of this
Agreement or any other Indenture Document or consent to any departure by any
Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be
permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No
notice to or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle such Grantor or any
other Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be
waived, amended or modified except (i) in accordance with the Indenture pursuant
to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent
and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or
modification is to apply, subject to the limitations in the Intercreditor
Agreement, or (ii) as otherwise provided in the Intercreditor Agreement.
23
Section 7.09. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE
TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING
OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER INDENTURE
DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH
OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING
WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN
INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER INDENTURE DOCUMENTS, AS
APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN
THIS SECTION 7.09.
Section 7.10. Severability. In the event any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the
validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall
endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions.
Section 7.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of
which when taken together shall constitute but one contract (subject to Section
7.04), and shall become effective as provided in Section 7.04. Delivery of an
executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
Section 7.12. Headings. Article and Section headings used herein
are for the purpose of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are
not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in
interpreting, this Agreement.
Section 7.13. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a)
Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or
Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the other Indenture Documents, or for recognition
or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such
action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to
the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto
agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or
in any other manner provided
24
by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Collateral
Agent, the Trustee or any Holder may otherwise have to bring any action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Indenture Documents against
any Grantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives,
to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which
it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Indenture
Documents in any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of
America sitting in New York City. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient
forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service
of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 7.01. Nothing in this
Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process
in any other manner permitted by law.
Section 7.14. Termination and Release. (a) This Agreement and
the Security Interest shall terminate at the time provided in Section 10.08 of
the Indenture, at which time the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to
the Grantors, at the Grantors' expense, all UCC termination statements and
similar documents which the Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination. Any execution and delivery of termination statements or documents
pursuant to this Section 7.14 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the
Collateral Agent. A Guarantor shall automatically be released from its
obligations hereunder and the Security Interest in the Collateral of such
Guarantor shall be automatically released in the event that all the capital
stock of such Guarantor shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of
pursuant to a transaction permitted or not prohibited under the Indenture.
(b) If any of the Collateral shall become subject to the release
provisions set forth in Section 10.03 of the Indenture or Section 5.1 of the
Intercreditor Agreement, such Collateral shall be automatically released from
the Security Interest to the extent provided in Section 10.03 of the Indenture
or Section 5.1 of the Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable. The Collateral
Agent shall execute and deliver to the Grantors, at the Grantors' expense, all
UCC termination statements and similar documents which the Grantor shall
reasonably request to evidence the termination of the Security Interest in such
Collateral. To the extent applicable, the Issuer will comply with TIA Section
314(d), relating to the release of property or securities from the Security
Interest and to any substitution therefor of any property or securities to be
subjected to the Security Interest. Any certificate or opinion required by TIA
Section 314(d) may be made by an Officer of the Issuer except in cases where TIA
Section 314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an
independent Person, which Person will be an independent engineer, appraiser or
other expert selected or approved by the Trustee in the exercise of reasonable
care.
25
Section 7.15. Additional Grantors. If, pursuant to Sections 4.11
and 11.07 of the Indenture, the Issuer is required to cause any Subsidiary of
the Issuer that is not a Grantor to enter into this Agreement as a Grantor, upon
execution and delivery by the Collateral Agent and such Subsidiary of an
instrument in the form of Annex 2 hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor
hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor
herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the
consent of any Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor
hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of
any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.
Section 7.16. Subject to Intercreditor Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Lien and security interest
granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of
any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the
provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between
the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.
Section 7.17. Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent
acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and the Holders, that, any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, until the
First-Lien Termination Date, the Guarantors shall not be required to act or
refrain from acting with respect to any Collateral on which the Credit Agent has
a Lien superior in priority to the Collateral Agent's Lien thereon in any manner
that would result in a default under the terms and provisions of the Credit
Agreement.
26
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this
Second Priority Security Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

Annex 2 to the
Second Priority Security Agreement
SUPPLEMENT NO. __ dated as of , to the Second Priority
Security Agreement dated as of May 30, 2003, among PLIANT
CORPORATION, a Utah corporation (the "Issuer"), each subsidiary
of the Issuer listed on Schedule I thereto (each such subsidiary
individually a "Guarantor" and collectively, the "Guarantors";
the Guarantors and the Issuer are referred to collectively
herein as the "Grantors") and WILMINGTON TRUST COMPANY, a
Delaware banking corporation ("Wilmington Trust") as collateral
agent (in such capacity, the "Collateral Agent") for the Secured
Parties (as defined herein).
A. Reference is made to (a) the Indenture dated as of May 30,
2003 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
"Indenture"), among the Issuer, the Guarantors and Wilmington Trust, (in such
capacity, the "Trustee") and (b) the Intercreditor Agreement dated as of May 30,
2003 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
"Intercreditor Agreement"), among the Issuer, the Collateral Agent and the
Credit Agent.
B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Second Priority
Security Agreement and the Indenture.
C. The Grantors have entered into the Second Priority Security
Agreement in order to induce the Trustee to enter into the Indenture and the
Initial Purchasers to purchase the Notes. Pursuant to Section 4.11 of the
Indenture, the Company is required to cause certain of its Subsidiaries that are
not Grantors to enter into this Agreement as a Grantor. Section 7.15 of the
Second Priority Security Agreement provides that additional Subsidiaries of the
Issuer may become Grantors under the Second Priority Security Agreement by
execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The
undersigned Subsidiary (the "New Grantor") is executing this Supplement in
accordance with the requirements of the Indenture to become a Grantor under the
Second Priority Security Agreement as consideration for the purchase of the
Notes by the Initial Purchasers.
Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Grantor agree as
follows:
Section 1. In accordance with Section 7.15 of the Second
Priority Security Agreement, the New Grantor by its signature below becomes a
Grantor under the Second Priority Security Agreement with the same force and
effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor and the New Grantor hereby
(a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Second Priority Security
Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and (b) represents and
warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor
thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. In
2
furtherance of the foregoing, the New Grantor, as security for the payment and
performance in full of the Obligations (as defined in the Second Priority
Security Agreement), does hereby create and grant to the Collateral Agent, its
successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors
and assigns, a security interest in and lien on all of the New Grantor's right,
title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Second Priority
Security Agreement) of the New Grantor, subject to the provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreement (as provided in Section 7.16 of the Second Priority
Security Agreement). Each reference to a "Grantor" in the Second Priority
Security Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Grantor. The Second
Priority Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
Section 2. The New Grantor represents and warrants to the
Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid
and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.
Section 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and
by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a
single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral
Agent shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken
together, bear the signatures of the New Grantor and the Collateral Agent.
Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile
transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart
of this Supplement.
Section 4. The New Grantor hereby represents and warrants that
(a) set forth on Schedule I attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of
the location of any and all Collateral of the New Grantor and (b) set forth
under its signature hereto, is the true and correct location of the chief
executive office of the New Grantor.
Section 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Second
Priority Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Section 7. In the event any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions contained herein and in the Second Priority Security Agreement shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in
and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction).
The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic
effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions.
3
Section 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in
writing and given as provided in Section 7.01 of the Second Priority Security
Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the New Grantor shall be
given to it at the address set forth under its signature below.
Section 9. The New Grantor agrees to reimburse the Collateral
Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this
Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of
counsel for the Collateral Agent.
4
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Grantor and the Collateral Agent
have duly executed this Supplement to the Second Priority Security Agreement as
of the day and year first above written.
