     (f) FCMC shall not agree to any amendment of an LLC Agreement or Partnership Agreement that in any way adversely affects the perfection of the security interest of the Administrative Agent in the Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests pledged by FCMC hereunder, including any amendment electing to treat the membership interest or partnership interest of FCMC as a security under Article 8 of the UCC.

applicable Control Account Agreement or Deposit Account Control Agreement, or (iii) the Administrative Agent determines in its sole good faith discretion that the financial condition of an Approved Securities Intermediary or Deposit Account Bank, as the case may be, has materially deteriorated, FCMC agrees to notify all of its obligors that were making payments to such terminated Control Account or Approved Deposit Account, as the case may be, to make all future payments to another Control Account or Approved Deposit Account, as the case may be.

     (g) Whenever FCMC, either by itself or through any agent, licensee or designee, shall file an application for the registration of any Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency within or outside the United States, FCMC shall report such filing to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after the last day of the fiscal quarter in which such filing occurs. Upon request of the Administrative Agent, FCMC shall execute and deliver, and have recorded, all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Administrative Agent may request to evidence the Administrative Agent’s security interest in any Copyright, Patent or Trademark and the goodwill and general intangibles of FCMC relating thereto or represented thereby.

     (h) FCMC shall take all reasonable actions necessary or requested by the Administrative Agent, including in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency, to maintain and pursue each application (and to obtain the relevant registration) and to maintain each registration of any Copyright, Trademark or Patent that is Material Intellectual Property, including filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and opposition and interference and cancellation proceedings.

ARTICLE V Remedial Provisions

     Section 5.1 Code and Other Remedies

     During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent in this Agreement 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative 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 FCMC 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 any Collateral, and may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver any Collateral (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent 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 FCMC, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. FCMC further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places that the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at FCMC’s premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.1, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as the Loan Documents shall prescribe (or if no such order is prescribed therein, then in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect), and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of Law, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to FCMC. To the extent

permitted by applicable Law, FCMC waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. 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.

     Section 5.2 Accounts and Payments in Respect of General Intangibles

     (a) If required by the Administrative Agent in writing at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, FCMC shall cause all payment of Accounts or payment in respect of General Intangibles to be directed to a Cash Collateral Account, and if collected by FCMC, each such payment shall be forthwith deposited by FCMC in the exact form received, duly indorsed by FCMC to the Administrative Agent if required, in a Cash Collateral Account. Until so turned over, each such payment shall be held by FCMC in trust for the Administrative Agent, segregated from other funds of FCMC. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Accounts and payments in respect of General Intangibles shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

     (b) At the Administrative Agent’s request in writing, during the continuance of an Event of Default, FCMC shall deliver to the Administrative Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions that gave rise to the Accounts or payments in respect of General Intangibles, including all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

     (c) The Administrative Agent may, without notice, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, limit or terminate the authority of FCMC to collect its Accounts or amounts due under General Intangibles or any thereof.

     (d) The Administrative Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with Account Debtors to verify with them to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Account or amounts due under any General Intangible.

     (e) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent in writing at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, FCMC shall notify Account Debtors that the Accounts or General Intangibles have been collaterally assigned to the Administrative Agent and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent or to a Cash Collateral Account. In addition, the Administrative Agent may at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default enforce FCMC’s rights against such Account Debtors and obligors of General Intangibles.

     (f) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, FCMC shall remain liable under each of the Accounts and payments in respect of General Intangibles 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. The Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation or liability under any agreement giving rise to an Account or a payment in respect of a General Intangible by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent be obligated in any manner to perform any obligation of FCMC under or pursuant to any agreement giving rise to an Account or a payment in respect of a General Intangible, 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 that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

     Section 5.3 Pledged Collateral

     (a) During the continuance of an Event of Default, upon notice by the Administrative Agent to FCMC, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any Proceeds of the Pledged Collateral and make application thereof to the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in the Loan Documents (or if no such order is set forth therein, then in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect) and (ii) the Administrative Agent or its nominee may exercise (A) any voting, consent, corporate and other right pertaining to the Pledged Collateral at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, of the relevant issuer or issuers of Pledged Collateral or otherwise and (B) any right of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other right, privilege or option pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of any issuer of Pledged Collateral, the right to deposit and deliver any Pledged Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to FCMC to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

     (b) In order to permit the Administrative Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions that it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (i) FCMC shall, promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Administrative Agent all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, FCMC hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Collateral would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, calling special meetings of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other Person (including the issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof) during the continuance of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon the payment in full of the Secured Obligations.

     (c) FCMC hereby expressly authorizes and instructs each issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by FCMC to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative 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 FCMC, and FCMC agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividend or other payment with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the Administrative Agent.

     Section 5.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over To the Administrative Agent

     Except as set forth in the Credit Agreement, all Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Cash Collateral Account. All Proceeds while held by the Administrative Agent in a Cash Collateral Account (or by FCMC in trust for the Administrative Agent) shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied to the payment of the Secured Obligations.

     Section 5.5 Sale of Pledged Collateral

     (a) FCMC recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any Pledged Collateral 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 that shall 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. FCMC 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 Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any Pledged Collateral 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.

     (b) FCMC agrees to use its best 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 Collateral pursuant to this Section 5.5 valid and binding and in compliance with all other applicable Law. FCMC further agrees that a breach of any covenant contained in this Section 5.5 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent, that the Administrative Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 5.5 shall be specifically enforceable against FCMC, and FCMC hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under any Loan Document.

     Section 5.6 Deficiency

     FCMC shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorney employed by the Administrative Agent to collect such deficiency.

ARTICLE VI The Administrative Agent

     Section 6.1 The Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact

     (a) FCMC hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative 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 FCMC and in the name of FCMC or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any appropriate action and to execute any document or instrument that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, FCMC hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of FCMC, without notice to or assent by FCMC, to do any of the following:

     (i) in the name of FCMC or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any check, draft, note, acceptance or other instrument for the payment of moneys due under any Account or General Intangible 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 Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any such moneys due under any Account or General Intangible or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

     (ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any agreement, instrument, document or paper as the Administrative Agent may request to evidence the Administrative Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and General Intangibles of FCMC relating thereto or represented thereby;

     (iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repair or pay or discharge any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement (including all or any part of the premiums therefore and the costs thereof);

     (iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.1 or Section 5.5, any endorsement, assignment or other instrument of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; or

     (b) If FCMC fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on any past due amount under any Credit Document from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by FCMC, shall be payable by FCMC to the Administrative Agent on demand.

     (d) FCMC 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 6.2 Duty of the Administrative Agent

     The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Administrative Agent, nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any 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 FCMC or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any Collateral. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that the Administrative Agent actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Administrative Agent’s officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to FCMC for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     Section 6.3 Financing Statements

     FCMC hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file, and if requested will deliver to the Administrative Agent, all financing statements and other documents and take such other actions as may from time to time be requested by the Administrative Agent in order to maintain a first perfected security interest in and, if applicable, control of, the Collateral. Any financing statement filed by the Administrative Agent may be filed in any filing office in any UCC jurisdiction and may (i) indicate the Collateral (1) as all assets of FCMC or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the UCC or such jurisdiction, or (2) by any other description which reasonably approximates the description contained in this Agreement, and (ii) contain any other information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (A) the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to FCMC and (B) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing or indicating Collateral as as-extracted collateral or timber to be cut, a sufficient description of real property to which the Collateral relates. FCMC also agrees to furnish any such information to the Administrative Agent promptly upon request. FCMC also ratifies its authorization for the Administrative Agent to have filed in any UCC jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.

ARTICLE VII Miscellaneous

     Section 7.1 Amendments in Writing

     None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and FCMC.

     Section 7.2 Notices

     All communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by facsimile or by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service (i) if to the Administrative Agent, at the address set forth below the Administrative Agent’s signature to this Agreement, or at such other address as may have been furnished in writing to FCMC, by the Administrative Agent; and (ii) if to FCMC, at the address set forth below FCMC’s signature to this Agreement, or at such other address as may have been furnished in writing to the Administrative Agent by FCMC. Any notice so addressed and sent by telecopier shall be deemed to be given when confirmed, and any notice sent by nationally recognized overnight delivery service shall be deemed to be given the next day after the same is delivered to such carrier.

     Section 7.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies

     The Administrative Agent shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 7.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that the Administrative Agent 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.

     Section 7.4 Successors and Assigns

     This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of FCMC and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and its respective successors and assigns; provided, however, FCMC may not assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

     Section 7.5 Counterparts

     This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed counterpart by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart.

     Section 7.6 Severability

     Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     Section 7.7 Section Headings

     The Article and Section titles contained in this Agreement are, and shall be, without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not part of the agreement of the parties hereto.

     Section 7.8 Entire Agreement

     This Agreement together with the other Loan Documents represents the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

     Section 7.9 Governing Law

     This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of Ohio, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

     Section 7.10 Additional Loan Parties

     FCMC hereby agrees and covenants that it will cause its Subsidiaries that are not a signatory hereto on the date of this Agreement to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Joinder Agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent and shall thereafter for all purposes be a party hereto and have the same rights, benefits and obligations as FCMC on the date of this Agreement.

     Section 7.11 Reinstatement

     FCMC further agrees that, if any payment made by any other Person and applied to the Secured Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of Collateral are required to be returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to FCMC, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including Holding, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall be and remain in

full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made or, if prior thereto the Lien granted hereby or other Collateral securing such liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation or surrender, such Lien or other Collateral shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect any Lien or other Collateral securing the obligations of FCMC in respect of the amount of such payment.

     Section 7.12 Agent

     In acting under or by virtue of this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to all the rights, authority, privileges, and immunities provided in the Credit Agreement, all of which provisions of said Credit Agreement are incorporated by reference herein with the same force and effect as if set forth herein in their entirety.

     Section 7.13 Amendment and Restatement

     This amendment and restatement is limited as written and is not a consent to any other amendment, restatement or waiver, whether or not similar and, except as expressly provided herein or in any other Loan Document, all terms and conditions of each Loan Document remain in full force and effect unless otherwise specifically amended hereby or any other Loan Document.
