This is a guarantee of payment and not collection and the liability of each Guarantor is primary and not secondary.

(b) Anything herein or in any other Secured Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Secured Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2.02).

(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Article II or affecting the rights and remedies of any Secured Party hereunder.

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that if the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations is accelerated by bankruptcy or otherwise, such maturity shall also be deemed accelerated for the purpose of this guarantee without demand or notice to such Guarantor. Unless released pursuant to Section 9.14, the guarantee of each Guarantor contained in this Article II shall remain in full force and effect until the Discharge of Secured Obligations shall have occurred.

-6-

any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations), remain liable for the Guaranteed Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Discharge of Secured Obligations shall have occurred.

The provisions of this Section 2.02 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

Section 2.03 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by any Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise its rights to be subrogated to any of the rights of any Secured Party against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by any Secured Party for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek any indemnity, exoneration, participation, contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until the Discharge of Secured Obligations shall have occurred.

(vii) the absence of any attempt to collect the Guaranteed Obligations or any part of them from any Grantor;

provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, “Collateral” shall not include, and this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in: (a) any property to the extent that such grant of a security interest is prohibited by any applicable law or regulation of a Governmental Authority to which such Grantor or its property is subject, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of or requires any consent not obtained under, any license or contract evidencing or giving rise to such property, except to the extent that the term in such law, regulation, license or contract providing for such prohibition, breach, default or termination or requiring such consent is ineffective under Section 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the UCC (or any successor provision or provisions) of any relevant jurisdiction or any other applicable law (including the United States Bankruptcy Code) or principles of equity; provided, however, that such security interest shall attach immediately at such time as such prohibition, breach, default or termination is no longer applicable or is waived, and to the extent severable, shall attach immediately to any portion of the Collateral that does not result in such consequences; (b) Excluded Deposit Accounts, the Pre-Funded ACH Funds (as defined in each Blocked Account Agreement entered into on the date hereof between any Loan Party and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company), and, to the extent not Deposit Accounts, certificates of deposit in an aggregate amount not to exceed $125,000 pledged to secure the Loan Parties’ obligations in respect of their corporate credit card program; (c) any Vehicles; (d) 34% of the Foreign Subsidiary Voting Stock in each direct Foreign Subsidiary of such Grantor that is a “controlled foreign corporation” under the Code; or (e) Equity Interests in each of RW Gathering, LLC and Charlie Brown Air II, LLC so long as such entity is not a wholly-owned subsidiary of a Grantor (clauses (a) through (e) collectively, “Excluded Collateral”). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of the preceding sentence, “Collateral” shall include (and therefore, the following shall not constitute Excluded Collateral) (i) all Equity Interests in Subsidiaries of the Borrower (other than the Equity Interests described in clauses (d) and (e) to the extent set forth therein) and (ii) the right to any distributions (whether periodic or in liquidation or dissolution) with respect to any Equity Interests, including limited partnership interests or limited liability company member interests.

Section 3.02 Transfer of Pledged Securities. All certificates or instruments representing or evidencing the Pledged Securities shall be delivered to and held pursuant hereto by the Collateral Agent or a Person designated by the Collateral Agent and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, and accompanied by any required transfer tax stamps to effect the pledge of the Pledged Securities to the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, at the Collateral Agent’s discretion, all Pledged Securities must be delivered or transferred in such manner as to permit the Collateral Agent to be a “protected purchaser” to the extent of its security interest as provided in Section 8-303 of the UCC (if the Collateral Agent otherwise qualifies as a protected purchaser). During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, at any time in its discretion and without notice, to transfer to or to register in the name of the Collateral Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Securities, subject only to the revocable rights of the relevant Grantor specified in Section 6.03. In addition, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Securities for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

Section 4.01 Representations in Credit Agreement. In the case of each Grantor other than the Borrower, the representations and warranties set forth in Article VII of the Credit Agreement as they relate to such Grantor or to the Loan Documents to which such Grantor is a party, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference, are true and correct, and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely on each of them, provided that each reference in each such representation and warranty to the Borrower’s knowledge shall, for the purposes of this Section 4.01, be deemed to be a reference to such Grantor’s knowledge.

Section 4.02 Title; No Other Liens. Except for the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement and the other Liens permitted to exist on the Collateral by the Credit Agreement, such Grantor owns each item of the Collateral free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others. For the avoidance of

-12-

doubt, it is understood and agreed that any Grantor may, as part of its business, grant licenses to third parties to use intellectual property owned or developed by a Grantor. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Secured Documents, such licensing activity shall not constitute a “Lien” on such intellectual property. Each of the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party understands that any such licenses may be exclusive to the applicable licensees, and such exclusivity provisions may limit the ability of the Collateral Agent to utilize, sell, lease or transfer the related intellectual property or otherwise realize value from such intellectual property pursuant hereto.

Section 4.03 Perfected First Priority Liens. The security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement (a) upon completion of the filings and other actions specified on Schedule 3 (which, in the case of all filings and other documents referred to on said Schedule, have been delivered to the Collateral Agent in completed and duly executed form) will constitute valid perfected security interests in all of the Collateral which may be perfected by filing or such other action in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for such Grantor’s Secured Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of such Grantor and any Persons purporting to purchase any Collateral from such Grantor and (b) are prior to all other Liens on the Collateral in existence on the date hereof except for Liens permitted pursuant to Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 4.06 Farm Products. None of the Collateral constitutes, or is the Proceeds of, Farm Products.

Section 4.07 Investment Property.

(a) As of the date hereof, the Pledged Securities required to be pledged hereunder and under the Credit Agreement by such Grantor are listed in Schedule 2. The shares of Pledged Securities pledged by such Grantor hereunder constitute all the issued and outstanding shares of all classes of the Equity Interests of each Issuer owned by such Grantor which is a Domestic Subsidiary of such Grantor and 66% of the issued and outstanding shares of all classes of the Equity Interests of each Issuer owned by such Grantor which is a Foreign

-13-

Subsidiary. All the shares of the Pledged Securities have been duly and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable; and such Grantor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Investment Property pledged by it hereunder, free of any and all Liens or options in favor of, or claims of, any other Person, except the security interest created by this Agreement, and has rights in or the power to transfer the Investment Property in which a Lien is granted by it hereunder, free and clear of any Lien.

(b) There are no restrictions on transfer (that have not been waived or otherwise consented to) in the LLC Agreement governing any Pledged LLC Interest or the Partnership Agreement governing any Pledged Partnership Interest or any other agreement relating thereto which would limit or restrict: (i) the grant of a security interest in the Pledged LLC Interests or the Pledged Partnership Interests, (ii) the perfection of such security interest or (iii) the exercise of remedies in respect of such perfected security interest in the Pledged LLC Interests or the Pledged Partnership Interests, in each case, as contemplated by this Agreement. Upon the exercise of remedies in respect of the Pledged LLC Interests or the Pledged Partnership Interests as provided for herein and otherwise as required by then applicable law, a transferee or assignee of a membership interest or a partnership interest, as the case may be, of such LLC or Partnership, as the case may be, shall become a member or partner, as the case may be, of such LLC or Partnership, as the case may be, entitled to participate in the management thereof to the extent immediately theretofore held by the assignor or transferor, as the case may be, and, upon the transfer of the entire interest of such Grantor, such Grantor shall cease to be a member or partner, as the case may be.

(c) Each of the Pledged Notes constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the obligor with respect thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(c) The amounts represented by such Grantor to the Lenders from time to time as owing to such Grantor in respect of the Receivables will at such times be accurate.

Section 4.09 Commercial Tort Claims.

(a) On the date hereof, except to the extent listed in Schedule 3, no Grantor has rights in any Commercial Tort Claim with an asserted value in excess of $1,000,000.

-14-

(b) Upon the filing of a financing statement covering any Commercial Tort Claim referred to in Section 5.07 against such Grantor in the jurisdiction specified in Schedule 3 hereto, the security interest granted in such Commercial Tort Claim will constitute a valid perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for such Grantor’s Secured Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of such Grantor and any Persons purporting to purchase such Collateral from such Grantor, which security interest shall be prior to all other Liens on such Collateral except for unrecorded liens permitted by the Credit Agreement which have priority over the Liens on such Collateral by operation of law.

Section 4.10 Benefit to the Guarantors. The Borrower is a member of an affiliated group of companies that includes such Grantor, and the Borrower and the other Grantors are engaged in related businesses. Such Grantor may reasonably be expected to benefit, directly or indirectly, from the Transactions; and such Grantor has determined that this Agreement is necessary and convenient to the conduct, promotion and attainment of the business of such Grantor.

Any sums paid upon or in respect of the Investment Property upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Issuer shall, unless (only so long as no Event of Default exists) otherwise subject to a perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, be paid over to the Collateral Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Secured Obligations, and in case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of the Investment Property or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Investment Property pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of any Issuer or pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall, unless otherwise subject to a perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, be delivered to the Collateral Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Secured Obligations (except, in each case, to the extent Excluded Collateral). If any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of the Investment Property (that is Collateral) shall be

received by such Grantor, such Grantor shall, unless (only so long as no Event of Default exists) otherwise subject to a perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Collateral Agent, hold such money or property in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, as additional collateral security for the Secured Obligations.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor will not (i) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby or under the other Loan Documents, vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Issuer to issue any Equity Interests of any nature or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any Equity Interests of any nature of any Issuer, (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof (except pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted, or if not directly addressed therein, not prohibited, by the Credit Agreement or the Swap Intercreditor Agreement), (iii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof, or any interest therein, except for the security interests created by this Agreement and security interests expressly permitted pursuant to Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement; or (iv) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Grantor or the Collateral Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof except as expressly permitted pursuant to Section 9.16 of the Credit Agreement.

In the case of each Grantor that is a member of an LLC, such Grantor hereby consents to the extent required by the applicable LLC Agreement to the pledge by each other Grantor, pursuant to the terms hereof, of the Pledged LLC Interests in such LLC and to the transfer of such Pledged LLC Interests to the Collateral Agent or its nominee and to the substitution of the Collateral Agent or its nominee as a substituted member of the LLC with all the rights, powers and duties of a member of such LLC.

-17-

(e) Without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor shall not agree to any amendment of a Partnership Agreement or an LLC Agreement that (i) in any way adversely affects the perfection of the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests pledged by such Grantor hereunder or (ii) causes any Partnership Agreement or LLC Agreement to include an election to treat the membership interests or partnership interests of such Grantor as a security under Section 8-103 of the UCC.

(f) With respect to Equity Interests in certificated form, such Grantor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent such stock or equity powers and other instruments as may be required by the Collateral Agent to assure the transferability of the Investment Property when and as often as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent.

Remedial Provisions

Section 6.01 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables. At any time during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default:

(a) The Collateral Agent shall have the right to make test verifications of the Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Collateral Agent may require in connection with such test verifications. At any time and from time to time, upon the Collateral Agent’s request and at the expense of the relevant Grantor, such Grantor shall cause its independent public accountants or others reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent to furnish to the Collateral Agent reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Receivables.

-18-

(b) The Collateral Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables, subject to the Collateral Agent’s direction and control, and the Collateral Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default. If required by the Collateral Agent at any time during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided in Section 6.05, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

Section 6.02 Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable.

(a) The Collateral Agent at any time during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default in its own name or in the name of others may at any time communicate with obligors under the Receivables to verify with them to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables.

(b) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent at any time during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables that the Receivables have been assigned to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any Secured

-19-

Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or Contract, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

Section 6.03 Pledged Securities.

(a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.03(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Securities and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, in each case paid in the normal course of business of the relevant Issuer and consistent with past practice, to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate or other organizational rights with respect to the Investment Property; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other organizational right exercised or other action taken which, in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable judgment, would impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Secured Document.

(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, during the pendancy of such Event of Default, (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property and make application thereof to the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 5(c) of the Swap Intercreditor Agreement (or, if the Swap Intercreditor Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms, Section 10.02(c) of the Credit Agreement), and (ii) any or all of the Investment Property shall be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee, and the Collateral Agent or its nominee may during the pendancy of such Event of Default exercise (A) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (B) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or other organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Investment Property pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction

-20-

received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Investment Property directly to the Collateral Agent.

Section 6.04 Proceeds to be Turned Over to Collateral Agent. In addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties specified in Section 6.01 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, subject to the Swap Intercreditor Agreement, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, if the Collateral Agent so requests, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). All such Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All such Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.05.

Section 6.05 Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Collateral Agent’s election in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Swap Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and any proceeds of the guarantee set forth in Article II, in payment of the Secured Obligations in accordance with Section 5(c) of the Swap Intercreditor Agreement (or, if the Swap Intercreditor Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms, Section 10.02(c) of the Credit Agreement).

Section 6.06 Code and Other Remedies.

(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties in this Agreement, the other Secured Documents and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law or otherwise available at law or equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party or

-21-

elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. Any such sale or transfer by the Collateral Agent either to itself or to any other Person shall be absolutely free from any claim of right by any Grantor, including any equity or right of redemption, stay or appraisal which any Grantor has or may have under any rule of law, regulation or statute now existing or hereafter adopted (and each Grantor hereby waives any rights it may have in respect thereof). Upon any such sale or transfer, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser or transferee thereof the Collateral so sold or transferred. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.06, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in accordance with Section 5(c) of the Swap Intercreditor Agreement (or, if the Swap Intercreditor Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms, Section 10.02(c) of the Credit Agreement), and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9-615(a)(3) of the UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder except to the extent caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of agreement of the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party or their respective agents. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

(b) If the Collateral Agent elects not to sell the Collateral, the Collateral Agent retains its rights to dispose of or utilize the Collateral or any part or parts thereof in any manner authorized or permitted by law or in equity, and to apply the proceeds of the same towards payment of the Secured Obligations. Each and every method of disposition of the Collateral described in this Agreement shall constitute a commercially reasonable method of disposition. Without limitation of the foregoing, any disposition involving three (3) or more bidders that are “accredited investors” (within the meaning of the Securities Act) shall constitute disposition in a commercially reasonable manner.

(c) The Collateral Agent may appoint any Person as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale or transfer of the Collateral.

Section 6.07 Registration Rights.

(a) If the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Securities pursuant to Section 6.06, and if in the opinion of the Collateral Agent it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Securities, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Securities, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Securities, or that portion thereof to be sold and (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Issuer to make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, are necessary or advisable to enable it to realize upon such Collateral, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Collateral Agent shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

(b) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Securities, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, or may determine that a public sale is impracticable or not commercially reasonable, and, accordingly, may resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Securities for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

(c) Each Grantor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Securities pursuant to this Section 6.07 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Governmental Requirements. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.07 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties, that the Secured 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 6.07 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, 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 Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement.

-23-

Section 6.08 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

Section 6.09 Non-Judicial Enforcement. The Collateral Agent may enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, and to the extent permitted by law, each Grantor expressly waives any and all legal rights which might otherwise require the Collateral Agent to enforce its rights by judicial process.

ARTICLE VII

The Collateral Agent

Section 7.01 Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, Etc.

(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:

(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) in the case of any intellectual property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ security interest in such intellectual property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

(iii) pay or discharge Taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement or any other Secured Document and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.06 or Section 6.07, any indorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

-24-

(v) (A) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (B) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (C) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (D) in the name of such Grantor, or in its own name, or otherwise, commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (E) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (F) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; and (G) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

Anything in this Section 7.01(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.01(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

(c) The expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.01, together with interest thereon at the post-default rate specified in Section 3.02(b) of the Credit Agreement, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand.

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

Section 7.02 Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar Property for its own account, and the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which comparable secured parties accord comparable collateral. Neither the Collateral Agent, any other Secured

-25-

Party nor any of their Related Parties shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their Related Parties shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall be under no duty whatsoever to make or give any presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, demand for performance, notice of non-performance, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, or other notice or demand in connection with any Collateral or the Secured Obligations, or to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights against any Grantor or other Person or ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not it has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters. Each Grantor, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waives any right of marshaling in respect of any and all Collateral, and waives any right to require the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to proceed against any Grantor or other Person, exhaust any Collateral or enforce any other remedy which the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party now has or may hereafter have against any Grantor or other Person.

Section 7.03 Execution of Financing Statements. Pursuant to the UCC and any other applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. Each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to use the collateral description “all personal property” or “all assets” in any such financing statements. Each Grantor hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing by the Collateral Agent of any financing statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date hereof.

Section 7.04 Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and the Swap Intercreditor Agreement, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the other Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

ARTICLE VIII

Subordination of Indebtedness

Section 8.01 Subordination of All Grantor Claims. As used herein, the term “Grantor Claims” shall mean all debts and obligations of the Borrower or any other Grantor to any other Grantor, whether such debts and obligations now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligation of the debtor thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or obligations be evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose favor such debts or obligations may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by. During the continuation of an Event of Default, no Grantor shall receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from any obligor in respect thereof any amount upon the Grantor Claims.

Section 8.02 Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceedings with respect to any Grantor, the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall have the right to prove their claim in any such proceeding, so as to establish their rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian, dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Grantor Claims. Each Grantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties for application against the Secured Obligations as provided under Section 5(c) of the Swap Intercreditor Agreement (or, if the Swap Intercreditor Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms, Section 10.02(c) of the Credit Agreement). Should the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party receive, for application upon the Secured Obligations, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to any Grantor, and which, as between such Grantors, shall constitute a credit upon the Grantor Claims, then upon the occurrence of the Discharge of Secured Obligations, the intended recipient shall become subrogated to the rights of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties to the extent that such payments to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties on the Grantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Secured Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Secured Obligations which would have been unpaid if the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties had not received dividends or payments upon the Grantor Claims.

Section 8.03 Payments Held in Trust. If, notwithstanding Section 8.01 and Section 8.02, any Grantor should receive any funds, payments, claims or distributions which is prohibited by such Sections, then it agrees: (a) to hold in trust for the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims or distributions so received and (b) that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims or distributions except to pay them promptly to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and each Grantor covenants promptly to pay the same to the Collateral Agent.

Section 8.04 Liens Subordinate. Each Grantor agrees that, until the Discharge of Secured Obligations shall have occurred, any Liens securing payment of the Grantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any Liens securing payment of the Secured

-27-

Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of such Grantor, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, no Grantor, prior to the Discharge of Secured Obligations, shall (a) exercise or enforce any creditor’s right it may have against any debtor in respect of the Grantor Claims or (b) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceeding (judicial or otherwise, including the commencement of or joinder in any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any Lien held by it in respect of the Grantor Claims.

Section 8.05 Notation of Records. Upon the request of the Collateral Agent, all promissory notes and all accounts receivable ledgers or other evidence of the Grantor Claims accepted by or held by any Grantor shall contain a specific written notice thereon that the indebtedness evidenced thereby is subordinated under the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

Miscellaneous

Section 9.01 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 9.04), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default, potential event of default (however defined), or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege hereunder, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right, power or privilege, shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law or equity.

Section 9.02 Notices.

(b) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all Other Taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 12.03 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 9.06 Survival; Revival; Reinstatement.

(a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by any Grantor herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Secured Document to which it is a party shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, or the entry or extension of credit under any Secured Swap Agreements, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent or other Secured Parties may have had notice or knowledge of any Default, potential event of default (however defined), Event of Default, or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Discharge of Secured Obligations shall have occurred. The provisions of Section 9.03 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the occurrence of the Discharge of Secured Obligations.

(b) To the extent that any payments on the Secured Obligations or proceeds of any Collateral are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or

-29-

required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other Person under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause (each, an “Invalidated Payment”), then to such extent, the Secured Obligations so satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received and the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each other Secured Document related to such Invalidated Payment shall continue in full force and effect. In such event, each Secured Document related to such Invalidated Payment shall be automatically reinstated and the Borrower shall take such action as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties to effect such reinstatement.

Section 9.07 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER SECURED DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN THE LETTERS OF CREDIT AND THE LETTER OF CREDIT AGREEMENTS) REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO AND 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.

(c) This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Collateral Agent and when the Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, the Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 9.08 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.09 Set-Off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Secured Party and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to such Person or any other Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and

-30-

any other credits, indebtedness, claims or obligations (of whatsoever kind, including obligations under Secured Swap Agreements), in any currency, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Secured Party or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Grantor against any of and all the obligations and liabilities of the Grantor owed to such Secured Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Secured Document, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Secured Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 9.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Secured Party or its Affiliates may have.
