benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder and shall be segregated from
other funds of such Grantor and such Grantor shall not adjust, settle
or compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable, or release

in existence on the date hereof, on or prior to the date hereof and (ii) with
respect to any such Receivables hereafter arising, within ten (10) Business Days
after such Grantor acquires rights therein. With respect to any Receivables in

shall take all steps necessary to give the Collateral Agent control over such
Receivables (within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the UCC): (i) with respect
to any such Receivables in existence on the date hereof, on or prior to the date
hereof and (ii) with respect to any such Receivables hereafter arising, within
ten (10) Business Days after such Grantor acquiring rights therein. Any

the Commitments and the cancellation or expiration of all Outstanding Letters of
Credit that:
(i) in the event it acquires rights in any
Investment Related Property which has not otherwise been deposited or
credited to an Investment Account subject to the Collateral Agent's
"control" (within the meanings of Sections 8-106, 9-106 or 9-104, as
applicable, of the UCC) in accordance with Section 4.4.4(c) herein
after the date hereof, it shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a
completed Pledge Supplement, substantially in the form of Exhibit A
attached hereto, together with all Supplements to Schedules necessary
to notify the Collateral Agent of such acquisitions thereto, reflecting
such new Investment Related Property and all other Investment Related
Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed
that the security interest of the Collateral Agent shall attach to all
Investment Related Property immediately upon any Grantor's acquisition
of rights therein and shall not be affected by the failure of any
Grantor to deliver a supplement to Schedule 4.4 as required hereby;
(ii) except as provided in the next sentence, in
the event such Grantor receives any dividends, interest or
distributions on any Investment Related Property, or any securities or
other property upon the merger, consolidation, liquidation or
dissolution of any issuer of any Investment Related Property, then (a)
such dividends, interest or distributions and securities or other
property shall be included in the definition of Collateral without
further action and (b) such Grantor shall take all commercially
reasonable steps to ensure the validity, perfection, priority and, if
applicable, control of the Collateral Agent over such Investment
Related Property (including, without limitation, delivery thereof to
the Collateral Agent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral
Agent authorizes each Grantor to retain all ordinary cash dividends and
distributions paid in the normal course of the business of the issuer
and consistent with the past practice of the issuer and all payments of
principal and interest; and

other Grantor of a Security Interest in all Investment Related Property
to the Collateral Agent.

(i) Each Grantor agrees that (A) with respect to
any Investment Related Property in which it currently has rights, it
shall comply with the provisions of this 4.4.1(b) on or before the
Closing Date or Credit Date and (B) with respect to any Investment
Related Property hereafter acquired by such Grantor it shall comply
with the provisions of this Section 4.4.1(b) immediately upon acquiring
rights therein, in each case in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. With respect to any Investment
Related Property that is represented by a certificate or that is an
"instrument" (other than any Investment Related Property credited to a
Securities Account), it shall cause such certificate or instrument to
be delivered to the Collateral Agent, indorsed in blank by an
"effective indorsement" (as defined in Section 8-107 of the UCC),
regardless of whether such certificate constitutes a "certificated
security" for purposes of the UCC. With respect to any Investment
Related Property that is an "uncertificated security" for purposes of
the UCC (other than any "uncertificated securities" credited to a
Securities Account), it shall cause the issuer of such uncertificated
security to either (i) register the Collateral Agent as the registered
owner thereof on the books and records of the issuer or (ii) execute an
agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, pursuant to
which such issuer agrees to comply with the Collateral Agent's
instructions with respect to such uncertificated security without
further consent by such Grantor.

Grantor shall be entitled to exercise or refrain from
exercising any and all voting and other consensual rights

thereof; provided, no Grantor shall exercise or refrain from
exercising any such right if the Collateral Agent shall have
notified such Grantor in writing that, in the Collateral
Agent's reasonable judgment, such action would have a Material
Adverse Effect; and
(2) the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver (or
cause to be executed and delivered) to each Grantor all
proxies, and other instruments as such Grantor may from time
to time reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such
Grantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights
when and to the extent which it is entitled to exercise
pursuant to clause (1) above.
(ii) Upon either delivery by any Grantor to
Collateral Agent of written notice that an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, or delivery by Collateral Agent or the
Administrative Agent to Grantor of written notice that the Event of
Default exists:
(1) all rights of each Grantor to exercise or refrain from
exercising the voting and other consensual rights which it
would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall
cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the
Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to
exercise such voting and other consensual rights;
(2) in order to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise the voting
and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to
exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and
other distributions which it may be entitled to receive
hereunder: (1) each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver
(or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral
Agent all proxies, dividend payment orders and other
instruments as the Collateral Agent may from time to time
reasonably request and (2) each Grantor acknowledges that the
Collateral Agent may utilize the power of attorney set forth
in Section 6 for such purposes; and
(3) if the Event of Default is duly waived or otherwise ceases to
exist, then all such voting rights will automatically revert
to the appropriate Grantor and the Collateral Agent shall so
confirm in writing upon any Grantor's written request.

whether now owned or hereafter
27
PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
434560-New York Server 3A EXECUTION
acquired." Each Grantor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time
statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and
such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Collateral Agent may
reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.
(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent
to modify this Agreement after obtaining such Grantor's approval of or signature
to such modification by amending Schedule 4.7 (as such schedule may be amended
or supplemented from time to time) to include reference to any right, title or
interest in any existing Intellectual Property or any Intellectual Property
acquired or developed by any Grantor after the execution hereof or to delete any
reference to any right, title or interest in any Intellectual Property in which
any Grantor no longer has or claims any right, title or interest.
5.3 ADDITIONAL GRANTORS. From time to time subsequent to the date
hereof, additional Persons shall, in accordance with the Credit Agreement,
become parties hereto as additional Grantors (each, an "ADDITIONAL GRANTOR"), by
executing a Counterpart Agreement. Upon delivery of any such Counterpart
Agreement to the Collateral Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by Grantors,
each Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor. Each Grantor expressly agrees that
its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the
addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder, nor by any election of
Collateral Agent not to cause any Subsidiary of Company to become an Additional
Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor
that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes
or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.
SECTION 6. COLLATERAL AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.
6.1 POWER OF ATTORNEY.Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the
Collateral Agent as such Grantor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the
place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, the Collateral
Agent or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent's discretion to
take any action and to execute any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem
reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the following:
(a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, in consultation with the applicable Grantor(s) in order to
ensure the validity, perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent and any
other rights of the Collateral Agent over the Collateral, to obtain and adjust
insurance relating to the Collateral required to be maintained by such Grantor
or paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and not so
maintained or paid;
(b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, to ask for, demand, collect, ▇▇▇ for, recover, compound,
receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under
or in respect of any of the Collateral;
(c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other
instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (b) above;
(d) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, to file any claims or take any action or institute any
proceedings that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the
collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the
Collateral Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;
28
PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
434560-New York Server 3A EXECUTION
(e) to prepare and file any UCC financing statements
relating to the Collateral against such Grantor as debtor;
(f) to prepare, sign, and file for recordation in any
intellectual property registry, appropriate evidence of the lien and security
interest granted herein in the Intellectual Property in the name of such Grantor
as assignor;
(g) to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to
perform or comply or cause performance or compliance with the terms of this
Agreement, including, without limitation, access to pay or discharge taxes or
Liens (other than Permitted Liens) levied or placed upon or threatened against
the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to
discharge the same to be determined by the Collateral Agent in its sole
discretion, any such payments made by the Collateral Agent to become obligations
of such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, due and payable immediately without
demand; and
(h) subject to any Requirement of Law, generally to sell,
transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any
of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were
the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Collateral
Agent's option and such Grantor's expense, at any time or from time to time,
upon three (3) Business Days notice to such Grantor, all acts and things that
the Collateral Agent deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize
upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent's security interest therein in
order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as
such Grantor might do.
6.2 NO DUTY ON THE PART OF COLLATERAL AGENT OR SECURED PARTIES.The
powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the
interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty
upon the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts
that they actually receive or direct 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.
6.3 RATIFICATION. 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. SECTION 7. REMEDIES.
7.1 GENERALLY.
(a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in
addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise
available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of a secured
party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected
Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing,
whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the following
separately, successively or simultaneously:
(i) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor
hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and promptly upon request of
the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral
as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the
Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent
that is reasonably convenient to both parties;
29
PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
434560-New York Server 3A EXECUTION
(ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral
is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial
process, subject to any Requirement of Law;
(iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral,
store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise
prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the
Collateral Agent deems appropriate; and
(iv) without notice except as specified below or
under the UCC, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or
nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part
thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the
Collateral Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for
future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and
upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially
reasonable.
(b) The Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may be the
purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the
extent any portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is
customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed
standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Collateral
Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be
entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the
purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale
made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations
as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the
Collateral Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the
property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any
Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable
law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at
any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or
hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall
be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to such Grantor of the time
and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be
made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be
obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having
been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from
time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale
may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so
adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable
for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by
using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types
included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so,
or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any
claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price
at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than
the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the
Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such
Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other
disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured
Obligations, Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the reasonable and
documented fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect
such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the
covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the
Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in
respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant
contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such
Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses
against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a
defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations
becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this
Section shall in any way alter the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder.
(c) The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without
giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may
specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the
30
PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
434560-New York Server 3A EXECUTION
like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely effect the commercial
reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
(d) If the Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral
on credit, the Secured Obligations will be credited only with payments actually
made by the purchaser and received by the Collateral Agent and applied to the
indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the
Collateral, the Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral.
(e) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to
marshal any of the Collateral.
7.2 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Except as expressly provided
elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in
respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any
part of the Collateral shall be applied in full or in part by the Collateral
Agent against, the Secured Obligations in the order of priority set forth in
Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement.
7.3 INVESTMENT RELATED PROPERTY.
(a) Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain
prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities
laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or
any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration
or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act
and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree,
among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own
account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale
thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices
and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without
such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration
statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances,
each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made
in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no
obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any
Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the
issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration
under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such
issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Collateral Agent
determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment Related
Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer
of any Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited
liability company from time to time to furnish to the Collateral Agent all such
information as the Collateral Agent may request in order to determine the number
and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the Investment
Related Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent in exempt
transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time
in effect.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to apply the balance
from any Deposit Account or instruct the bank at which any Deposit Account is
maintained to pay the balance of any Deposit Account to or for the benefit of
the Collateral Agent.
7.4 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
(a) Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.2, upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:
31
PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
434560-New York Server 3A EXECUTION
(i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right
(but not the obligation) to bring suit or otherwise commence any action
or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or
otherwise, in the Collateral Agent's sole discretion, to enforce any
Intellectual Property, in which event such Grantor shall, at the
request of the Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute
any and all documents required by the Collateral Agent in aid of such
enforcement and such Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and
indemnify the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 10 hereof in
connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section, and, to
the extent that the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring suit to
enforce any Intellectual Property as provided in this Section, each
Grantor agrees to use all reasonable measures, whether by action, suit,
proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement of any of the
Intellectual Property by others and for that purpose agrees to
diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person
so infringing as shall be reasonably necessary to prevent such
infringement;
(ii) if the Secured Obligations shall have become
immediately due and payable, upon written demand from the Collateral
Agent, each Grantor shall grant, assign, convey or otherwise transfer
to the Collateral Agent an absolute assignment of all of such Grantor's
right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property and shall
execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such documents as are
necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this
Agreement subject to the limitation set forth in Section 2.2 herein;
(iii) each Grantor agrees that such an assignment
and/or recording shall be applied to reduce the Secured Obligations
outstanding only to the extent that the Collateral Agent (or any
Secured Party) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or
other realization upon, the Intellectual Property; and
(iv) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to
notify, or require each Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to
amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of the
Intellectual Property, of the existence of the security interest
created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such
amounts directly to the Collateral Agent, and, upon such notification
and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such
amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment
thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor
might have done;
(1) all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other
instruments) received by Grantor in respect of amounts due to
such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any portion
thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other
funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or
delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so
received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash
Collateral and applied as provided by Section 7.2 hereof; and
(2) Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or
payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly any
obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount
thereon without the prior written consent of the Collateral
Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(b) If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and,
by reason of cure, waiver, modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be
continuing, (ii) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to the Collateral Agent of any
rights, title and interests in and to the Intellectual Property shall have been
previously made and shall have become absolute and effective, and (iv) the
Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and
32
PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
434560-New York Server 3A EXECUTION
payable or the acceleration of any Secured Obligations shall have been duly
rescinded, then, upon the written request of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent
shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor, at such Grantor's sole cost
and expense, such assignments or other transfer as may be necessary to reassign
to such Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned
to the Collateral Agent as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that
may have been made by the Collateral Agent; provided, after giving effect to
such reassignment, the Collateral Agent's security interest granted pursuant
hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent granted
hereunder, shall continue to be in full force and effect; and provided further,
the rights, title and interests so reassigned shall be free and clear of any
Liens granted by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties.
(c) Solely for the purpose of enabling the Collateral
Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 7 and 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, to the extent it
has the right to do so, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable
without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in
the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection
in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of said Trademarks,
to use, operate under, license, or sublicense any Intellectual Property now
owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be
located.
7.5 CASH PROCEEDS. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor consisting
of cash, checks and other near-cash items (collectively, "Cash Proceeds") shall
be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent, segregated from other
funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, unless
otherwise provided pursuant to Section 4.4(a)(ii) above or Section 2.14(a) of
the Credit Agreement, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form
received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent,
if required) and held by the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the
Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether
matured or unmatured).
SECTION 8. COLLATERAL AGENT.
The Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent by
the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and by their acceptance of the benefits
hereof, by the other Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent shall be obligated,
and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to
exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, to grant or refuses to grant any
consent and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without
limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement; provided, the
Collateral Agent shall, after payment in full of all Obligations under the
Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, exercise, or refrain from
exercising, any remedies provided for herein in accordance with the instructions
of the holders of a majority of the aggregate notional amount (or, with respect
to any Hedge Agreement that has been terminated in accordance with its terms,
the amount then due and payable (exclusive of expenses and similar payments but
including any early termination payments then due) under such Hedge Agreement)
under all Hedge Agreements. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this
Section, each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees
that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral
hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights
and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the
benefit of all Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section. The
Collateral Agent may resign or be removed and a successor Collateral Agent may
be appointed, all in accordance with Section 9.7 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 9. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF LOANS.
33
PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
434560-New York Server 3A EXECUTION
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the
Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full
of all Secured Obligations, the cancellation or termination of the Commitments
and the cancellation or expiration of all Outstanding Letters of Credit, be
binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with
the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the
Collateral Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns, for the benefit
and on behalf of the Secured Parties. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any Secured
Obligations held by it to any other Person subject to and in compliance with the
terms of the Credit Agreement, and such other Person shall thereupon become
vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Secured Parties
herein or otherwise. Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the
cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the cancellation or
expiration of all Outstanding Letters of Credit, the security interest and Liens
granted hereby shall terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the
Collateral shall revert to Grantors. Upon any such termination the Collateral
Agent shall, at Grantors' expense, execute and deliver to Grantors such
documents as Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
SECTION 10. STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM.
The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to
protect its interest, for the benefit and on behalf of the Secured Parties, in
the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such
powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any
Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by
it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as
to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or
any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be
deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of
Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment
substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property.
Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or
agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any
part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any
obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of
any Grantor or otherwise. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement
contained herein, the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance
of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in
connection therewith shall be payable by each Grantor under Section 10.2 of the
Credit Agreement.
SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS.
Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall
be given in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement. No failure or
delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any power, right or
privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power,
right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence
therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or
privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power,
right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and
the other Credit Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights
or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision in or obligation under
this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction,
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or
obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be
given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not
permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an
exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant
shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such
action is taken or condition exists. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and Grantors and their respective
successors
34
PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
434560-New York Server 3A EXECUTION
and assigns. No Grantor shall assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder
except as otherwise permitted under and in accordance with the Credit Agreement,
and any such assignment shall be null and void. This Agreement and the other
Credit Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Grantors
and the Collateral Agent and supersede all prior agreements and understandings
between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
Accordingly, the Credit Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior,
contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no
unwritten oral agreements between the parties. This Agreement may be executed in
one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an
original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the
same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate
counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages
are physically attached to the same document.
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES
HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS
CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 2708 OF TITLE 6 OF THE DELAWARE
CODE).

RE: MARINER HEALTH CARE, INC.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to Mariner Health Care, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), each of the Borrower's subsidiaries
listed on Schedule 1 hereto (each of the Borrower and such other loan parties, a
"Grantor" and, collectively, the "Grantors"), in connection with the

[the date hereof] (the "Security Agreement"), between each of the Grantors and
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, as [Collateral Agent] for the [Secured
Parties] (as defined in the Security Agreement) (the "Collateral Agent"). This
opinion is being delivered pursuant to Section [ ] of the Security Agreement.

NUMBER] established at [INSERT NAME OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT ESTABLISHED

We express no opinion with respect to any laws other than the
UCC and, for purposes of opinion paragraph 5, [INSERT CORPORATE LAW OF FILING
STATE, E.G., THE DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW].
We have this date delivered to you our opinion with respect to
the enforceability of the Security Agreement and certain other transaction
agreements. We call to your attention that the opinions set forth herein with
respect to the security interest of the Collateral Agent are subject to the
qualifications contained in such other opinion.
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the limitations,
qualifications, exceptions and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the
opinion that:
1. Under the Delaware UCC, the provisions of the
Security Agreement are effective to create a valid security interest in each
Grantor's rights in the UCC Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent to
secure the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement).
2. [TO BE GIVEN BY LOCAL COUNSEL, IF APPROPRIATE]
Pursuant to the [Authorization Letter][Security Agreement], each Grantor has
authorized for purposes of Section 9-509 of the Filing State UCC the filing of
the Financing Statement naming such Grantor as debtor and identifying the UCC
Collateral.
3. [TO BE GIVEN BY LOCAL COUNSEL, IF APPROPRIATE] Each
of the Financing Statements includes not only all of the types of information
required by Section 9-502(a) of the Filing State UCC but also the types of
information without which the Filing Office may refuse to accept the Financing
Statements pursuant to Section 9-516 of the Filing State UCC.
4. [TO BE GIVEN BY LOCAL COUNSEL, IF APPROPRIATE] Under
the Filing State UCC, the security interest of the Collateral Agent will be
perfected in each of the Grantor's rights in all UCC Collateral upon the later
of the attachment of the security interest and the filing of the Financing
Statements in the Filing Office, we express no opinion, with respect to (i)
money, (ii) deposit accounts, (iii) letter of credit rights (iv) goods covered
by a certificate of title statute, (v) as-extracted collateral, timber to be
cut, (vi) any property subject to a statute, regulation or treaty of the United
States whose requirements for a security interest's obtaining priority over the
rights of a lien creditor with respect to the property preempt Section 9-310(a)
of the Filing State UCC or (vii) any goods subject to a negotiable document of
title.
5. [TO BE GIVEN BY LOCAL COUNSEL, IF APPROPRIATE] You
have asked whether each Grantor is a "registered organization" as defined in the
Filing State UCC. Pursuant to [IDENTIFY SECTION REFERENCE OF APPLICABLE
CORPORATE LAW, E.G., SECTIONS 101(a) AND 103(6) OF THE
Exhibit ▇-▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Server 3A EXECUTION
DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW], the [SECRETARY OF STATE] of the Filing State
is required to maintain a public record showing each Grantor to have been
organized. Based on our review of the Secretary of State Certificates, we are of
the opinion that under the Filing State UCC and the [INSERT CORPORATE LAW OF
FILING STATE], each Grantor is a "registered organization."
6. Assuming that none of the Collateral Agent or any
Secured Party has notice of any adverse claims with respect to the Possessory
Certificates and that such certificates are indorsed in blank or by an effective
indorsement to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent will acquire such
Possessory Certificates (and the shares represented thereby) free of any adverse
claims under Section 8-303 of the New York UCC upon the later of the attachment
of the security interest and the delivery of such Possessory Certificates to the
Collateral Agent. As used herein, "notice of adverse claim" has the meaning set
forth in Section 8-105 of the UCC and includes, without limitation, any adverse
claim that the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party would discover upon any
investigation which such person has a duty, imposed by statute or regulation, to
investigate.
7. Under the [IDENTIFY NAME OF STATE OF FINANCIAL
INSTITUTION'S JURISDICTION] UCC, the provisions of the Control Agreement are
effective to perfect the security interest of the Collateral Agent in [IDENTIFY
NAME OF APPLICABLE GRANTOR]'s rights in the Pledged Account.
Our opinions are subject to the following qualifications:
(a) We have assumed that each Grantor owns, or with
respect to after-acquired property will own, the UCC Collateral granted by it,
and we express no opinion as to the nature or extent of each Grantor's rights in
any of the applicable UCC Collateral and we note that with respect to any
after-acquired property, the security interest will not attach until such
Grantor acquires ownership thereof.
(b) Our opinion with respect to proceeds is subject to
the limitations set forth in Section 9-315 of the UCC and, in addition, we call
to your attention that in the case of certain types of proceeds, other parties
such as holders in due course, protected purchasers of securities, persons who
obtain control over securities entitlements and buyers in the ordinary course of
business may acquire a superior interest or may take their interest free of the
security interest of a secured party.
(c) We express no opinion with respect to commercial tort
claims.
(d) We express no opinion with respect to any goods which
are accessions to, or commingled or processed with, other goods to the extent
that the security interest is limited by Section 9-335 or 9-336 of the UCC.
(e) We note that we have delivered to you our opinion
with respect to each Grantor's status as a "registered organization." Except to
the extent that this determination is an element of your choice of law analysis,
we express no opinion with respect to the choice of law governing perfection,
the effect of perfection and non-perfection or priority of the security
interest.

▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Server 3A EXECUTION
(f) For purposes of our opinion paragraph 5, we have
assumed that each Grantor is and will remain "organized solely" (within the
meaning of Section 9-102(a)(70) of the UCC) under the laws of the State of the
Filing State.
(g) We express no opinion with respect to the nature or
extent of the securities intermediary's rights in, or title to, the securities
or other financial assets underlying any "security entitlement" now or hereafter
credited to a securities account. Furthermore, we express no opinion with
respect to any property or assets now or hereafter credited to a securities
account that is not a "financial asset" and we express no opinion whether or to
what extent any particular item of property credited to such securities account
is a "financial asset". We note that to the extent the securities intermediary
maintains any financial asset in a "clearing corporation" (as defined in Section
8-102(5) of the UCC), pursuant to Section 8-111 of the UCC, the rules of such
clearing corporation may affect the rights of the securities intermediary.
(h) We have assumed that the Control Agreement is the
legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of each of the parties thereto
other than the applicable Grantor.
(i) We have assumed that the Pledged Account is either a
"deposit account" (as defined in the UCC) and the Financial Institution is an
organization that is engaged in the business of banking or (ii) is a "securities
account"(as defined in the UCC) and the Financial Institution in the ordinary
course of its business maintains securities accounts for customers and is acting
in that capacity.
(j) We call to your attention that pursuant to Section
9-340 of the UCC, a bank with which a deposit account is maintained may continue
to exercise any right of recoupment or set-off against a secured party that
holds a security interest in the deposit account.
This opinion is being furnished only to you in connection with the
Security Agreement and is solely for your benefit and is not to be used,
circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose or relied upon
by any other person or entity for any purpose without our prior written consent
except that Loan Parties who subsequently become assignees pursuant to Section
__ of the Credit Agreement may rely on it as if it was addressed to the
Collateral Agent for their benefit.
