Each Pledgor hereby agrees that all certificates, agreements or instruments representing or evidencing Securities Collateral or other Investment Property acquired by such Pledgor after the date hereof, shall promptly upon receipt thereof by such Pledgor be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto.

SECTION 3.4. Other Actions. In order to further insure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, each Pledgor represents, warrants and agrees, in each case at such Pledgor’s own expense, with respect to the following Collateral that:

(a) Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper. As of the date hereof (i) no amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral is evidenced by any Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper other than such Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper listed in the Perfection Certificate and (ii) each Instrument and each item of Tangible Chattel Paper listed in Schedule V annexed hereto, to the extent requested by the Collateral Agent, has been properly endorsed, assigned and delivered to the Collateral

Agent, accompanied by instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be evidenced by any Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper, the Pledgor acquiring such Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request from time to time.

(b) Deposit Accounts. As of the date hereof it has neither opened nor maintains any Deposit Accounts other than the accounts listed in the Perfection Certificate. No Pledgor shall grant Control of any Deposit Account or any Blocked Account to any Person other than the Collateral Agent. The Pledgors shall at all times comply with the cash receipt provisions set forth in Section 6.13 of the Credit Agreement.

(c) Investment Property. (i) As of the date hereof (a) it has no Securities Accounts other than those listed in the Perfection Certificate or Commodity Accounts other than those listed on Schedule VI annexed hereto, (b) it does not hold, own or have any interest in any certificated securities or uncertificated securities other than those constituting Securities Collateral and those maintained in Securities Accounts listed in the Perfection Certificate and (c) it has entered into a duly authorized, executed and delivered Securities Account Control Agreement with respect to each Securities Account listed in the Perfection Certificate, as applicable.

(ii) If any Pledgor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities constituting Investment Property, other than any securities of foreign Subsidiaries not required to be pledged hereunder, such interest shall constitute Additional Pledged Shares, and such Pledgor shall promptly (a) endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent or (b) deliver such securities into a Securities Account with respect to which a Securities Account Control Agreement is in effect in favor of the Collateral Agent. If any securities now or hereafter acquired by any Pledgor constituting Investment Property, other than any securities of foreign Subsidiaries not required to be pledged hereunder, are uncertificated and are issued to such Pledgor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, such Pledgor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (a) cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Collateral Agent as to such securities, without further consent of any Pledgor or such nominee, (b) cause a Security Entitlement with respect to such uncertificated security to be held in a Securities Account with respect to which the Collateral Agent has Control or (c) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the registered owner of the securities. Pledgor shall not hereafter establish and maintain any Securities Account or Commodity Account with any Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary unless (1) the applicable Pledgor shall have given the Collateral Agent ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to establish such new Securities Account or Commodity Account with such Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary, (2) such Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary shall be reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent and (3) such Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary, as the

Each Pledgor shall accept any cash and Investment Property which are proceeds of the Pledged Interests in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and within five (5) Business Days of actual receipt thereof, deposit any cash or Investment Property and any new securities, instruments, documents or other property by reason of ownership of the Investment Property received by it into an account in which the Collateral Agent has Control. The Collateral Agent agrees with each Pledgor that the Collateral Agent shall not give any entitlement orders or instructions or directions to any issuer of uncertificated securities, Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary, and shall not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by such Pledgor, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. No Pledgor shall grant control over any Investment Property to any Person other than the Collateral Agent.

(iii) As between the Collateral Agent and the Pledgors, the Pledgors shall bear the investment risk with respect to the Investment Property and Securities Collateral, and the risk of loss of, damage to, or the destruction of the Investment Property and Securities Collateral, whether in the possession of, or maintained as a security entitlement or deposit by, or subject to the control of, the Collateral Agent, a Securities Intermediary, Commodity Intermediary, any Pledgor or any other Person; provided, however, that nothing contained in this SECTION 3.4(c) shall release or relieve any Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary of its duties and obligations to the Pledgors or any other Person under any Control Agreement or under applicable Law. Each Pledgor shall promptly pay all Claims and fees of whatever kind or nature with respect to the Investment Property and Securities Collateral pledged by it under this Agreement. In the event any Pledgor shall fail to make such payment contemplated in the immediately preceding sentence, the Collateral Agent may do so for the account of such Pledgor and the Pledgors shall promptly reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent for all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent under this SECTION 3.4(c) in accordance with Section 11.3 of this Agreement.

(d) Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. Except as set forth on Schedule VII hereto, as of the date hereof no amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral is evidenced by any Electronic Chattel Paper or any “transferable record” (as that term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction). If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall be evidenced by any Electronic Chattel Paper or any transferable record, the Pledgor acquiring such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and shall take such action as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to vest in the Collateral Agent control under UCC Section 9-105 of such Electronic Chattel Paper or control under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record. The Collateral Agent agrees with such Pledgor that the Collateral Agent will arrange, pursuant to procedures reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and so long as such procedures will not result in the

Collateral Agent’s loss of control, for the Pledgor to make alterations to the Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record permitted under UCC Section 9-105 or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act of Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to allow without loss of control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by such Pledgor with respect to such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record.

(e) Letter-of-Credit Rights. If such Pledgor is at any time a beneficiary under a Letter of Credit now or hereafter issued in favor of such Pledgor, other than a Letter of Credit issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement, such Pledgor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and such Pledgor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such Letter of Credit to consent to an assignment to the Collateral Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under the Letter of Credit or (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, with the Collateral Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the Letter of Credit are to be applied as provided in the Credit Agreement.

(f) Commercial Tort Claims. As of the date hereof it holds no Commercial Tort Claims other than those listed in the Perfection Certificate. If any Pledgor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim, such Pledgor shall immediately notify the Collateral Agent in writing signed by such Pledgor of the brief details thereof and grant to the Collateral Agent in such writing a security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 3.5. Joinder of Additional Guarantors. The Pledgors shall cause each direct or indirect Subsidiary of any Loan Party which, from time to time, after the date hereof shall be required to pledge any assets to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Credit Parties pursuant to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a Perfection Certificate and a Joinder Agreement, in each case, within five (5) Business Days of the date on which it was acquired or created and, upon such execution and delivery, such Subsidiary shall constitute a “Guarantor” and a “Pledgor” for all purposes hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor and Pledgor herein, including, but limited to, granting the Collateral Agent a security interest in all Securities Collateral of such Subsidiary. The rights and obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor and Pledgor as a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 3.6. Supplements: Further Assurances. Each Pledgor shall take such further actions, and execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such Collateral Access Agreements or additional assignments, agreements, supplements, powers and instruments, as the Collateral Agent may in its reasonable judgment deem necessary or appropriate, wherever required by law, in order to perfect, preserve and protect the security interest in the Collateral as provided herein and the rights and interests granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder, to carry

into effect the purposes hereof or better to assure and confirm unto the Collateral Agent or permit the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights, powers and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor shall make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file or refile and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent from time to time upon reasonable request of the Collateral Agent such lists, descriptions and designations of the Collateral, copies of warehouse receipts, receipts in the nature of warehouse receipts, bills of lading, documents of title, vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, supplements, additional security agreements, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may institute and maintain, in its own name or in the name of any Pledgor, such suits and proceedings as the Collateral Agent may be advised by counsel shall be necessary or expedient to prevent any impairment of the security interest in or the perfection thereof in the Collateral. All of the foregoing shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors. The Pledgors and the Collateral Agent acknowledge that this Agreement is intended to grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Credit Parties a security interest in and Lien upon the Collateral and shall not constitute or create a present assignment of any of the Collateral.

Each Pledgor shall, at its own cost and expense, defend title to the Collateral pledged by it hereunder and the security interest therein and Lien thereon granted to the Collateral Agent and the priority thereof against all claims and demands of all Persons, at its own cost and expense, at any time claiming any interest therein adverse to the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party other than Permitted Encumbrances. As of the date hereof, except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, there is no agreement, and, after the date hereof, no Pledgor shall enter into any agreement or take any other action, that would restrict the transferability of any of the Collateral or otherwise impair or conflict with such Pledgors’ obligations or the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder.

SECTION 4.3. Chief Executive Office; Change of Name; Jurisdiction of Organization.

(a) The exact legal name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization, Federal Taxpayer Identification Number, organizational identification number and chief executive office of such Pledgor is indicated in the Perfection Certificate.

Such Pledgor agrees (A) not to effect or permit any such change unless all filings have been made under the UCC or otherwise that are required in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected first priority security interest in all the Collateral (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) and (B) to take all action reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interest of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Credit Parties in the Collateral intended to be granted hereunder. Each Pledgor agrees to promptly provide the Collateral Agent with certified organizational documents reflecting any of the changes described in the preceding sentence.

(b) The Collateral Agent may rely on opinions of counsel as to whether any or all UCC financing statements of the Pledgors need to be amended as a result of any of the changes described in SECTION 4.3(a). If any Pledgor fails to provide information to the Collateral Agent about such changes on a timely basis, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible to any party for any failure to maintain a perfected security interest in such Pledgor’s property constituting Collateral, for which the Collateral Agent needed to have information relating to such changes. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire about such changes if any Pledgor does not inform the Collateral Agent of such changes, the parties acknowledging and agreeing that it would not be feasible or practical for the Collateral Agent to search for information on such changes if such information is not provided by any Pledgor.

All of the Initial Pledged Interests have been, and to the extent any Pledged Interests are hereafter issued, such shares will be, upon such issuance, duly authorized, validly issued and, to the extent applicable, fully paid and non-assessable. All of the Initial Pledged Interests have been fully paid for, and there is no amount or other obligation owing by any Pledgor to any issuer of the Initial Pledged Interests in exchange for or in connection with the issuance of the Initial Pledged Interests or any Pledgor’s status as a partner or a member of any issuer of the Initial Pledged Interests, nor shall there be in the future to the extent any Pledged Interests are hereafter issued.

SECTION 4.7. No Claims. Each Pledgor owns or has rights to use all of the Collateral pledged by it hereunder and all rights with respect to any of the foregoing used in, necessary for or material to such Pledgor’s business as currently conducted. The use by such Pledgor of such Collateral and all such rights with respect to the foregoing do not infringe on the rights of any Person other than such infringement which would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. No claim has been made and remains outstanding that such Pledgor’s use of any Collateral does or may violate the rights of any third Person that would individually, or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 4.8. No Conflicts, Consents, etc. No consent of any party (including, without limitation, equity holders or creditors of such Pledgor) and no consent, authorization, approval, license or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or regulatory body or other Person is required (A) for the pledge by such Pledgor of the Collateral pledged by it pursuant to this Agreement or for the execution, delivery or performance hereof by such Pledgor, (B) for the exercise by the Collateral Agent of the voting or other rights provided for in this Agreement or (C) for the exercise by the Collateral Agent of the remedies in respect of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement. Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, if the Collateral Agent desires to exercise any remedies, voting or consensual rights or attorney-in-fact powers set forth in this Agreement and determines it necessary to obtain any approvals or consents of any Governmental Authority or any other Person therefor, then, upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, such Pledgor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist and aid the Collateral Agent to obtain as soon as commercially practicable any necessary approvals or consents for the exercise of any such remedies, rights and powers.

SECTION 4.9. Collateral. All information set forth herein, including the schedules annexed hereto, and all information contained in any documents, schedules and lists heretofore delivered to any Credit Party in connection with this Agreement, in each case, relating to the Collateral, is accurate and complete in all material respects. The Collateral described on the schedules annexed hereto and as set forth in the Perfection Certificate (to the extent required to be described herein) constitutes all of the property of such type of Collateral owned or held by the Pledgors. Pledgor shall provide prompt notice of any changes to the information disclosed on all schedules to this Agreement (specifying the specific schedule that is being revised).

Each

Pledgor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Pledgor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact), exercisable only after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, for the purpose of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of the Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Pledgor 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. In the event that any Pledgor 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 in part relating thereto, the Collateral Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Pledgors hereunder or any Default or 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 advisable in accordance with Section 11.2 of this 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 Pledgors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.

SECTION 4.11. Payment of Taxes; Compliance with Laws; Contested Liens; Claims. Each Pledgor represents and warrants that all Claims imposed upon or assessed against the Collateral have been paid and discharged except to the extent such Claims constitute (i) a Lien not yet due and payable, (ii) a Permitted Encumbrance, or (iii) are being contested by the Pledgor as set forth in Section 6.04 of the Credit Agreement. Each Pledgor shall comply with all applicable Law relating to the Collateral, unless the failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Each Pledgor may at its own expense contest the validity, amount or applicability of any Claims so long as the contest thereof shall be conducted in accordance with, and permitted pursuant to the provisions of, the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this SECTION 4.11, no contest of any such obligation may be pursued by such Pledgor if such contest would expose the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party to (i) any possible criminal liability or (ii) any additional civil liability for failure to comply with such obligations unless such Pledgor shall have furnished a bond or other security therefor satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, or such Credit Party, as the case may be.

SECTION 4.12. Access to Collateral, Books and Records; Other Information. The Collateral Agent and its representatives may examine the Collateral in accordance with Section 6.10 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 4.13. Third Party Consents. Each Pledgor shall use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain the consent of third parties to the extent such consent is necessary or desirable to create a valid, perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent in any Collateral.

presently used and operated and as contemplated by the Credit Agreement, (iii) not permit to lapse or become abandoned any Intellectual Property material to the use and operation of the Collateral as presently used and operated and as contemplated by the Credit Agreement, and not settle or compromise any pending or future litigation or administrative proceeding with respect to such Intellectual Property, in each case except as shall be consistent with commercially reasonable business judgment, (iv) upon such Pledgor obtaining knowledge thereof, promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any event which may be reasonably expected to materially and adversely affect the value or utility of the Intellectual Property or any portion thereof material to the use and operation of the Collateral, the ability of such Pledgor or the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Intellectual Property or any portion thereof or the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent in relation thereto including, without limitation, a levy or threat of levy or any legal process against the Intellectual Property or any portion thereof, (v) not license the Intellectual Property other than licenses entered into by such Pledgor in, or incidental to, the ordinary course of business, or amend or permit the amendment of any of the material licenses in a manner that materially and adversely affects the right to receive payments thereunder, or in any manner that would materially impair the value of the Intellectual Property or the Lien on and security interest in the Intellectual Property intended to be granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Credit Parties, without the consent of the Collateral Agent, (vi) until the Collateral Agent exercises its rights to make collection, diligently keep adequate records respecting the Intellectual Property and (vii) furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time upon the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request therefor detailed statements and amended schedules further identifying and describing the Intellectual Property and such other materials evidencing or reports pertaining to the Intellectual Property as the Collateral Agent may from time to time request. Notwithstanding the foregoing nothing herein shall prevent any Pledgor from selling, disposing of or otherwise using any Intellectual Property as permitted under the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 6.5. After-Acquired Property. If any Pledgor shall, at any time before the Secured Obligations have been paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations which, pursuant to the provisions of the Credit Agreement or the Security Documents, survive the termination thereof), (i) obtain any rights to any additional Intellectual Property or (ii) become entitled to the benefit of any additional Intellectual Property or any renewal or extension thereof, including any reissue, division, continuation, or continuation-in-part of any Intellectual Property, or any improvement on any Intellectual Property, the provisions hereof shall automatically apply thereto and any such item enumerated in clause (i) or (ii) of this SECTION 6.5 with respect to such Pledgor shall automatically constitute Intellectual Property if such would have constituted Intellectual Property at the time of execution hereof and be subject to the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement without further action by any party. With respect to any federally registered Intellectual Property, each Pledgor shall promptly (i) provide to the Collateral Agent written notice of any of the foregoing and (ii) confirm the attachment of the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement to any rights described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence of this SECTION 6.5 by execution of an instrument in form reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 6.6. Modifications. Each Pledgor authorizes the Collateral Agent to modify this Agreement by (i) amending the Perfection Certificate to include any Intellectual

Property acquired or arising after the date hereof of such Pledgor including, without limitation, any of the items listed in SECTION 6.5 hereof, and (ii) taking all such further actions in accordance with Section 2.3 herein or any other section herein as necessary to perfect Collateral Agent’s security interest.

SECTION 6.7. Litigation. Unless there shall occur and be continuing any Event of Default, each Pledgor shall have the right to commence and prosecute in its own name, as the party in interest, for its own benefit and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, such applications for protection of the Intellectual Property and suits, proceedings or other actions to prevent the infringement, counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution, diminution in value or other damage as are necessary to protect the Intellectual Property. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right but shall in no way be obligated to file applications for protection of the Intellectual Property and/or bring suit in the name of any Pledgor, the Collateral Agent or the Credit Parties to enforce the Intellectual Property and any license thereunder. In the event of such suit, each Pledgor shall, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents requested by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement and the Pledgors shall promptly reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, for all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in the exercise of its rights under this SECTION 6.7 in accordance with SECTION 11.3 hereof. In the event that the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce the Intellectual Property, each Pledgor agrees, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, to take all commercially reasonable actions necessary, whether by suit, proceeding or other action, to prevent the infringement, counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution, diminution in value of or other damage to any of the Intellectual Property by others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any suit, proceeding or other action against any Person so infringing necessary to prevent such infringement.

REMEDIES

SECTION 9.1. Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may from time to time in respect of the Collateral, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it:

(i) Personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, from any Pledgor or any other Person who then has possession of any part thereof with or without notice or process of law, and for that purpose may enter upon any Pledgor’s premises where any of the Collateral is located, remove such Collateral, remain present at such premises to receive copies of all communications and remittances relating to the Collateral and use in connection with such removal and possession any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of any Pledgor;

(ii) Demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable in respect of the Collateral including, without limitation, instructing the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting part of the Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the Collateral Agent, and in connection with any of the foregoing, compromise, settle, extend the time for payment and make other modifications with respect thereto; provided, however, that in the event that any such payments are made directly to any Pledgor, prior to receipt by any such obligor of such instruction, such Pledgor shall segregate all amounts received pursuant thereto in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall promptly pay such amounts to the Collateral Agent;

(iii) Sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, or direct any Pledgor to sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, any and all investments made in whole or in part with the Collateral or any part thereof, and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale, assignment, license or liquidation;

(iv) Take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing any Pledgor in writing to assemble the collateral in any place or places so designated by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 9-609 of the UCC, in which event such Pledgor shall at its own expense: (A) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places designated by the Collateral Agent and there delivered to the Collateral Agent, (B) store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the Collateral Agent at such place or places pending further action by the Collateral Agent and (C) while the Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such security and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain them in good condition. Time is of the essence regarding each Pledgor’s obligation to deliver the Collateral as contemplated in this SECTION 9.1(a)(iv). Upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by any Pledgor of such obligation;

(v) Withdraw all moneys, instruments, securities and other property in any bank, financial securities, deposit or other account of any Pledgor constituting Collateral for application to the Secured Obligations as provided in Article X hereof;

(vi) Retain and apply the Distributions to the Secured Obligations as provided in Article X hereof;

(vii) Exercise any and all rights as beneficial and legal owner of the Collateral, including, without limitation, perfecting assignment of and exercising any and all voting, consensual and other rights and powers with respect to any Collateral; and

(viii) With respect to any Collateral consisting of Inventory, Goods, and Equipment, the Collateral Agent may conduct one or more going out of business sales in the name of the Pledgors, or in the Collateral Agent’s own right, or by one or more agents and contractors. Such sale(s) may be conducted upon any premises owned, leased, or occupied by any Pledgor. The Collateral Agent and any such agent or contractor, in conjunction with any such sale, may augment the Inventory with other goods (all of which other goods shall remain the sole property of the Collateral Agent or such agent or contractor). Any amounts realized from the sale of such goods which constitute augmentations to the Inventory (net of an allocable share of the costs and expenses incurred in their disposition) shall be the sole property of the Collateral Agent or such agent or contractor and neither any Pledgor nor any Person claiming under or in right of any Pledgor shall have any interest therein. Each purchaser at any such going out of business sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor.

(ix) Exercise all the rights and remedies of a Credit Party under the UCC, and the Collateral Agent may also in its sole discretion, without notice except as specified in SECTION 9.2 hereof, sell, assign or grant a license to use the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and 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, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations owed to such Person as a credit on account of the purchase price of any Collateral payable by such Person at such sale. Each purchaser, assignee, licensee or recipient at any such sale shall acquire the property sold, assigned or licensed absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by 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. 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 Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral

may have been sold, assigned or licensed 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.

SECTION 9.2. Notice of Sale. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, ten (10) days’ prior notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to take place shall be commercially reasonable notification of such matters. No notification need be given to any Pledgor if it has signed, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, a statement renouncing or modifying (as permitted under law) any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition.

SECTION 9.3. Waiver of Notice and Claims. Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, notice or judicial hearing in connection with the Collateral Agent’s taking possession or the Collateral Agent’s disposition of any of the Collateral, including, without limitation, any and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies and any such right which such Pledgor would otherwise have under law, and each Pledgor hereby further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law: (i) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession, (ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder and (iii) all rights of redemption, appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable Law. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any incorrect or improper payment made pursuant to this Article IX in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the applicable Pledgor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against such Pledgor and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through or under such Pledgor.

SECTION 9.4. Certain Sales of Collateral.

(i) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in law, rules, regulations or orders of any Governmental Authority or Securities Laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral (including and Investment Property), to limit purchasers to those who meet the requirements of such Governmental Authority, or, with respect to such Securities Collateral and Investment Property, to those Persons who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Securities Collateral or Investment Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including, without limitation, a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under Securities Laws), and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that: (a) any such sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that, except as may be required by applicable Law, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales, and (b) that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Securities Collateral or

Investment Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under Securities Laws or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.

(ii) If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Securities Collateral or Investment Property, upon written request, the applicable Pledgor shall from time to time furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to determine the number of securities included in the Securities Collateral or Investment Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent as exempt transactions under Securities Laws and the rules of the SEC thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

(iii) Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this SECTION 9.4 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and other Credit Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this SECTION 9.4 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and such Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 9.5. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

(i) No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy; nor shall the Collateral Agent be required to look first to, enforce or exhaust any other security, collateral or guaranties. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

(ii) In the event that the Collateral Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned under Debtor Relief Laws, or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case, the Pledgors, the Collateral Agent and each other Credit Party shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 9.6. Certain Additional Actions Regarding Intellectual Property. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the written demand of Collateral Agent, each Pledgor shall execute and deliver to Collateral Agent an assignment or assignments of the registered Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights and such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes hereof to the extent such assignment does not result in any loss of rights therein under applicable Law.

APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF CASUALTY EVENTS AND COLLATERAL DISPOSITIONS

SECTION 10.1. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies shall be applied, together with any other sums then held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, in accordance with and as set forth in Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 11.1. Concerning Collateral Agent. Without, in any way, limiting the rights of the Collateral Agent under the Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents:

(i) The Collateral Agent has been appointed as collateral agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The actions of the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of the Collateral), in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. The Collateral Agent may resign and a successor Collateral Agent may be appointed in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Collateral Agent by a successor Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation, the provisions hereof shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was the Collateral Agent.

(ii) The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Collateral Agent, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests, it being understood that neither the Collateral Agent nor any of the Credit Parties shall have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Securities Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral.

(iii) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and, with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.

(iv) If any item of Collateral also constitutes collateral granted to Collateral Agent under any other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type, in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type in respect of such collateral, Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, shall select which provision or provisions shall control.

SECTION 11.2. Collateral Agent May Perform; Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. If any Pledgor shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this Agreement or in the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, such Pledgor’s covenants to (i) pay the premiums in respect of all required insurance policies hereunder, (ii) pay Claims, (iii) make repairs, (iv) discharge Liens or (v) pay or perform any obligations of such Pledgor under any Collateral) or if any warranty on the part of any Pledgor contained herein shall be breached, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend funds for such purpose; provided, however, that Collateral Agent shall in no event be bound to inquire into the validity of any tax, lien, imposition or other obligation which such Pledgor fails to pay or perform as and when required hereby and which such Pledgor does not contest in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Any and all amounts so expended by the Collateral Agent shall be paid by the Pledgors in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 11.3 hereof. Neither the provisions of this SECTION 11.2 nor any action taken by Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this SECTION 11.2 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this Agreement nor any breach of warranty form constituting an Event of Default. Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, or otherwise, from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default in the Collateral Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Security Documents which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary to accomplish the purposes hereof. The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. Each Pledgor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

SECTION 11.3. Expenses; Indemnity. Without limiting the provisions of Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents:

(a) Each Pledgor will upon demand pay to the Collateral Agent the amount of any and all reasonable costs and expenses, including the fees and expenses of its counsel and the fees and expenses of any experts and agents which the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) any action, suit or other proceeding affecting the Collateral or any part thereof commenced, in which action, suit or proceeding the Collateral Agent is made a party or participates or in which the right to use the Collateral or any part thereof is threatened, or in

which it becomes necessary in the judgment of the Collateral Agent to defend or uphold the Lien hereof (including, without limitation, any action, suit or proceeding to establish or uphold the compliance of the Collateral with any requirements of any Governmental Authority or law), (ii) the collection of the Secured Obligations, (iii) the enforcement and administration hereof, (iv) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, (v) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent or any Credit Party hereunder or (vi) the failure by any Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. All amounts expended by the Collateral Agent and payable by any Pledgor under this SECTION 11.3 shall be due upon demand therefor (together with interest thereon accruing at the highest rate then in effect under the Credit Agreement during the period from and including twenty (20) days from the date on which Collateral Agent makes demand for payment therefor to the date of repayment) and shall be part of the Secured Obligations.

(b) The Pledgors agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Collateral Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each other Credit Party, and each Subsidiary and Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless (on a after tax-basis) from, any and all losses, claims, damages, actions, causes of action, damages, liabilities, settlement payments, obligations, costs, and related expenses (including the fees, charges, expenses and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred, suffered, sustained or required to be paid by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Pledgor or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the Pledgors of their respective obligations thereunder, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) any claims of, or amounts paid by any Credit Party to, a Blocked Account Bank or other Person which has entered into a control agreement with any Credit Party hereunder, or (v) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to or arising from any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are (x) determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any Affiliate of such Indemnitee, or (y) result from a claim brought by a Pledgor or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach of bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Pledgor or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. In connection with any indemnified claim hereunder, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to select its own counsel and the Pledgors shall promptly pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.

(c) The provisions of this SECTION 11.3 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agents or any other Credit Party. All amounts due under this SECTION 11.3 shall be payable promptly (but in any event no more than 10 Business Days following) upon written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.

SECTION 11.4. Continuing Security Interest; Assignment. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) be binding upon the Pledgors, their respective successors and assigns and (ii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties and each of their permitted respective successors, transferees and assigns. No other Persons (including, without limitation, any other creditor of any Pledgor) shall have any interest herein or any right or benefit with respect hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (ii), any Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Credit Party, herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 11.5. Termination; Release. The Collateral shall be released from the Lien of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Upon termination hereof or any release of Collateral in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall, upon the request and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, assign, transfer and deliver to Pledgor, against receipt and without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent, such of the Collateral to be released (in the case of a release) as may be in possession of the Collateral Agent and as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and, with respect to any other Collateral, proper documents and instruments (including UCC-3 termination statements or releases) acknowledging the termination hereof or the release of such Collateral, as the case may be.

SECTION 11.6. Modification in Writing. No amendment, modification, supplement, termination or waiver of or to any provision hereof, nor consent to any departure by any Pledgor therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and unless in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent. Any amendment, modification or supplement of or to any provision hereof, any waiver of any provision hereof and any consent to any departure by any Pledgor from the terms of any provision hereof shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given.

EACH PLEDGOR AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH THE COLLATERAL AGENT SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED PURSUANT THERETO.

THE PLEDGORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

SECTION 11.10. Severability of Provisions. Any provision hereof which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 11.11. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

SECTION 11.12. No Credit for Payment of Taxes or Imposition. No Pledgor shall be entitled to any credit against the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable under the Credit Agreement, and such Pledgor shall not be entitled to any credit against any other sums which may become payable under the terms thereof or hereof, by reason of the payment of any Tax on the Collateral or any part thereof.

SECTION 11.13. No Claims Against Collateral Agent. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute any consent or request by the Collateral Agent, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof, nor as giving any Pledgor any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against the Collateral Agent in respect thereof or any claim that any Lien based on the performance of such labor or services or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior to the Lien hereof.

SECTION 11.14. No Release. Nothing set forth in this Agreement shall relieve any Pledgor from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Pledgor’s part to be performed or observed under or in respect of any of the Collateral or from any liability to any Person under or in respect of any of the Collateral or shall impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Pledgor’s part to be so performed or observed or shall impose any liability on the Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party for any act or omission on the part of such Pledgor relating thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of such Pledgor contained in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or under or in respect of the Collateral or made in connection herewith or therewith. The obligations of each Pledgor contained in this SECTION 11.14 shall survive the termination hereof and the discharge of such Pledgor’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 11.15. Obligations Absolute. All obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of any Pledgor or other matters related to Debtor Relief Laws;

(ii) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(iii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(iv) any pledge, exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;

(v) any exercise, non-exercise or waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect hereof, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document except as specifically set forth in a waiver granted pursuant to the provisions of SECTION 11.6 hereof; or

(vi) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Pledgor (other than payment in full in cash of Secured Obligations and termination of the Commitments).

SECTION 11.16. Additional Pledgor Waivers. Although the parties hereto fully intend that this Agreement is to be governed in accordance with Section 11.8 of this Agreement, the Pledgors hereby irrevocably waive and agree to the fullest extent permitted by law and to the extent applicable to the Collateral, as follows:

(i) The Pledgors expressly waive any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to the Pledgors under California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive;

(ii) The Pledgors waive any and all defenses, including but not limited to Pledgors’ defense of estoppel discussed in Union Bank ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 265 Cal.App.2d 40 (1968), based upon a foreclosure against all or any part of the real property security for the Secured Obligations or the Obligations pursuant to the power of sale contained in any Deed of Trust or any Leasehold Deed of Trust executed by any Pledgor (the “Deed of Trust”) or any of the other Security Documents as opposed to proceeding by way of judicial foreclosure. The Pledgors waive all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Collateral Agent, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed the Pledgor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”) or otherwise;

(iii) The Pledgors waive all rights and defenses that any Pledgor may have because any of the Borrower’s debt or the Secured Obligations are secured by real property. This means, among other things: (i) the Collateral Agent may collect from the Pledgors without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and (ii) if the Collateral Agent forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any Pledgor, the Borrower or any one or more of the Loan Parties: (a) the amount of debt may be reduced only by the price for which the collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (b) the Collateral Agent may collect from the Pledgors even if the Collateral Agent, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, have destroyed any right such Pledgor may have to collect from the Borrower or any other Loan Party. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Pledgors may have because Borrower’s debt or the Secured Obligations are secured by real property. These

rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the CCP;

(iv) In the case of a power of sale foreclosure under the Deed of Trust, the fair market value of the real property collateral shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the successful bid at the foreclosure sale. The Pledgors waive any rights or benefits they may now or hereafter have to a fair value hearing under Section 580a of the CCP. The Collateral Agent shall have absolutely no obligation to make a bid at any foreclosure sale, but rather may make no bid or bid any amount which the Collateral Agent, its sole discretion, deems appropriate;

(v) The Pledgors hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent to apply any and all amounts received by the Secured Parties in repayment of the Obligations first to amounts which are secured pursuant to the terms of the Deed of Trust and then to amounts which are not secured pursuant to the terms of the Deed of Trust, if any. Each Pledgor hereby waive any and all rights that it has or may hereafter have under Section 2822 of the California Civil Code which provides that if a guarantor is “liable upon only a portion of an obligation and the principal provides partial satisfaction of the obligation, the principal may designate the portion of the obligation that is to be satisfied.”

(vi) Each Pledgor warrants and represents to the Collateral Agent that (i) it now has or will continue to have full and complete access to any and all information concerning the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents referred to therein, the value of the assets owned or to be acquired by the Borrower or any Loan Party under the Loan Documents, their financial status and their respective ability to pay and perform their respective obligations under the Loan Documents; and (ii) the Pledgors have reviewed and approved copies of the Loan Documents and are fully informed of the remedies the Collateral Agent may pursue, with or without notice to the Pledgors, in the event of default under the Loan Documents. The Pledgors shall keep fully informed as to all aspects of the financial condition of the Borrower and other Loan Parties and the performance of their respective obligations under the Loan Documents; and

(vii) The Pledgors agree that the Collateral Agent may exercise any right or remedy hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents without the necessity of resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral for the Secured Obligations or the Obligations. Each Pledgor hereby waives any right it may now or hereafter have to require the Collateral Agent to proceed against the Borrower, to proceed against any other Loan Party or any other guarantor of any of the Obligations, to foreclose any lien on any real or personal property collateral conveyed or assigned to the Collateral Agent by the Pledgors, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, to exercise any right or remedy under the Loan Documents, to draw upon any letter of credit issued in connection with any of the Obligations, or to pursue any other remedy or to enforce any other right under the Loan Documents.
