ARTICLE V
REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

                Section 5.1 Code and Other Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it 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 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 the Administrative Agent or any Lender 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 any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’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

19

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 Administrative Agent and any other Secured Party hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as the Credit Agreement shall prescribe, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9-610 of the UCC, need the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party 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, each Grantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that 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 at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Accounts or payments in respect of General Intangibles, when collected by any Grantor, 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 Administrative Agent if required, in a Cash Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 5.4. Until so turned over, such payments shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. 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, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which 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 upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, limit or terminate the authority of a Grantor 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 upon the occurrence and 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 Accounts or amounts due under any General Intangibles.

(e)           Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify Account Debtors that the Accounts or payments in respect of General Intangibles have been collaterally assigned to the Administrative Agent and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent. In addition, the Administrative Agent may at any time upon the

20

occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default so enforce such Grantor’s rights against Account Debtors and obligors of General Intangibles.

(f)            Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor 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. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall 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 Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor 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 which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

                Section 5.3 Pledged Collateral.

(a)           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon notice by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral and make application thereof to the Obligations in the order set forth in the Credit Agreement, and (ii) the Administrative Agent or its nominee may exercise (A) all voting, consent, corporate, partnership or limited liability company and other rights 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 and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of any issuer of Pledged Securities, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the 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 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.

(b)           In order to permit the Administrative Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (i) each Grantor 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, such Grantor 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

21

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) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon the payment in full of the Secured Obligations.

(c)           Each Grantor hereby expressly authorizes and instructs each issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by such Grantor 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 such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that such 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 Pledged Collateral directly to the Administrative Agent for deposit in a Cash Collateral Account or, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, an Eligible Deposit Account.

                Section 5.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over to Administrative Agent. All Proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a Cash Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Administrative Agent in a Cash Collateral Account (or by such Grantor 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 as provided in the Credit Agreement.

                Section 5.5 Registration Rights.

(a)           If the Administrative Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Equity Collateral pursuant to Section 5.1, and if in the opinion of the Administrative Agent it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Equity Collateral, or any portion thereof to be registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor will 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 opinion of the Administrative Agent, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Equity Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best 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 Equity Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, are necessary or advisable, 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 cause such issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws or other comparable law of any jurisdiction which the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Equity Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained

22

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 Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity 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.

(c)           Each Grantor 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 any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 5.5 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and other Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent and the other 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 5.5 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement.

                Section 5.6 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 Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

                Section 5.7 Grant of Intellectual Property License. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, and for so long as such Event of Default is continuing, each Grantor hereby grants to Administrative Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive, fully paid-up, worldwide license or (for third party rights) sublicense, to use, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now or hereafter owned, licensed in (to the fullest extent permitted by such license), held for use or acquired by such Grantor (and subject to the applicable terms and conditions governing such Grantor’s rights in and to such Intellectual Property at the time of the Event of Default), for the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Article V hereof at such time as it shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose; subject to (i) the maintenance of quality control standards with respect to all goods and services sold under any licensed Trademarks substantially consistent with those in effect immediately prior to the Event of Default in order to maintain the validity and enforceability of such Trademarks and (ii) exclusive licenses granted by such Grantor prior to the Event of Default to the extent such licenses conflict at the time of the Event of Default with the granting of other licenses in and to the same Intellectual Property. Such license or sublicense to the Administrative Agent shall include access to all media in which any of the applicable Intellectual Property may be recorded, processed or stored and all computer programs related thereto.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

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

(a)           Each Grantor 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 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 Administrative 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 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 and all 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 and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers 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 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 pay or discharge any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement (including all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof);

(iv)          execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.1 or Section 5.5, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

(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 Administrative Agent or as the Administrative 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) 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

24

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 Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; (G) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Administrative Agent shall in its sole discretion determine, including without limitation the execution and filing of any documents necessary to effectuate and/or record such assignment; and (H) 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 Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Administrative Agent deems necessary or advisable to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative 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 6.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall be continuing.

(b)           If any Grantor 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, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement and shall notify such Grantor of any such performance or compliance.

(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 rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Administrative 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 6.2 Duty of 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, any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents 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 Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon

25

the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Administrative 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 officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

                Section 6.3 Authority to File Financing Statements. Each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent or its representatives to file or record financing statements (including continuation statements in respect thereof and any financing statement containing a description of the Collateral granted hereunder as “all assets” or “all personal property”) in each case whether now owed or hereafter acquired 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 Administrative Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Administrative 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.

                Section 6.4 Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the Grantors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Administrative Agent and 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 VII
MISCELLANEOUS

                Section 7.1 Amendments in Writing. Other than in connection with the execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Annex 4 (with such changes as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) relating to the addition of Grantors, none of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement.

                Section 7.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 9.8 of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Grantor other than the Borrower shall be addressed to such Grantor care in care of the Borrower at the Borrower’s notice address set forth in such Section 9.8.

                Section 7.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall 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 Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or

26

any other Secured Party, 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 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 Administrative 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.

                Section 7.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party and their successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Grantor may 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), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

                Section 7.6 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement 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, 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, including the interpretation, construction, validity and enforceability hereof, shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the state of New York.

                Section 7.10 Additional Grantors. If, pursuant to Section 5.10(c) of the Credit Agreement, Holdings or the Borrower shall be required to cause any Subsidiary of Holdings or the Borrower that is not a Grantor to become a Grantor hereunder, such Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Annex 4 (with such changes as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) and shall thereafter for all purposes be a party hereto and have the same rights, benefits and obligations as a Grantor party hereto on the Closing Date.

27

                Section 7.11 Release of Collateral.

(a)           At the time provided in Section 8.7(b)(i) of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral shall be released from the Lien created hereby and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Grantor. At the request and sole expense of any Grantor following any such termination, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver to such Grantor any Collateral of such Grantor held by the Administrative Agent hereunder and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

(b)           If any of the Collateral shall be sold or disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement or if any Collateral is otherwise permitted to be released pursuant to Section 8.7(b) of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral so sold or disposed of shall be released from the Lien created hereby to the extent provided in Section 8.7(b)(ii) or (iii) of the Credit Agreement and, in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent, at the request and sole expense of the Borrower, shall promptly execute and deliver to the Borrower all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Lien created hereby on such Collateral. At the request and sole expense of the Borrower, a Grantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the capital stock of such Grantor shall be so sold or disposed to a Person other than an Included Subsidiary in a transaction permitted by Article VI of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at least five Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release identifying the relevant Grantor and the terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 7.12 Reinstatement.(a)          Each Grantor further agrees that, if any payment made by any Loan Party or other Person and applied to the 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 any Secured Party to such Loan Party, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any Grantor, 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 any Grantor in respect of the amount of such payment.

Section 7.13 Amended and Restated Security Agreement.(a)      This Agreement amends and restates the Existing Security Agreement, and to the extent that the “Collateral” described in the Existing Security Agreement constitutes Collateral under this Security Agreement, all Liens and security interests in, and the pledges and assignments of, the Collateral granted by the Existing Security Agreement (collectively, the “Existing Liens”) are hereby ratified, confirmed, renewed, extended, rearranged and carried forward by the Grantors as security for the Secured

28

Obligations, with the same priority and effect. The liens and security interests in, and the pledges and assignments of, the Collateral granted by this Agreement are not in novation of the Existing Liens.

Section 7.14 Enforcement of Liens on Collateral Located in Spain.(a)      Without limiting the generality of Section 7.13, with respect to the Existing Liens granted (the “Spanish Collateral Pledge”) by Merisant Foreign Holdings I, Inc. (“MFH”) in the participations in Merisant Spain listed on Schedule 2 (the “Participations”) under the Existing Security Agreement, it is agreed by the Grantors and the Administrative Agent that in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may enforce its Lien on the Participations via notarial foreclosure in Spain. Further, the Grantors agree, and MFH shall instruct Merisant Spain, that none of the Grantors or Merisant Spain shall object to the Administrative Agent enforcing its Lien on the Participations via notarial foreclosure in Spain. The Grantors and the Administrative Agent acknowledge and agree that that certain Notarial Deed of Pledge granted before the Notary of Madrid, Mr. Segismundo Alvarez Royo-Villanova on July 23, 2004, under number 3.142 of his records remains in full force and effect. Pursuant to Section 8.7 of the Credit Agreement, each Lender has authorized the Administrative Agent to act on its behalf with respect to, among other things, executing and delivering each Collateral Document; acting as collateral agent for the Lenders, the Issuers and the other Secured Parties for purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens created by such agreements; managing, supervising and otherwise dealing with the Collateral; and taking such action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interests and Liens created or purported to be created by the Collateral Documents. In the event the Administrative Agent enforces its Lien on the Participations via notarial foreclosure in Spain, the Administrative Agent may, but need not, present this Agreement to a notary or other public official to the extent necessary to enforce the Lien on the Participations.

29

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the undersigned has caused this Amended and Restated Security Agreement to be duly executed and delivered as of the date first above written.

Reference is made to account no. [___________] maintained with you (the “Bank”) by [_____________] (the “Company”) into which funds are deposited from time to time (the “Account”). The Company has entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of July 11, 2003 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Merisant Company, Merisant Worldwide, Inc., the Lenders and Issuers party thereto, Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative agent for the Lenders and Issuers (in such capacity the “Administrative Agent”), and as sole arranger and book manager, and the other agents party thereto.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement and related documents, the Company has granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as defined in the Credit Agreement, a security interest in certain property of the Company, including, among other things, accounts, inventory, equipment, instruments, general intangibles and all proceeds thereof (the “Collateral”). Payments with respect to the Collateral are or hereafter may be made to the Account.

The Company hereby transfers to the Administrative Agent exclusive control of the Account and all funds and other property on deposit therein. By your execution of this letter agreement, you (i) agree that you will comply with instructions originated by the Administrative Agent directing disposition of the funds and other property on deposit in the Account without further consent of the Company and (ii) acknowledge that the Administrative Agent now has exclusive control of the Account, that all funds in the Account shall be transferred to the Administrative Agent as provided herein, that the Account is being maintained by you for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and that all amounts and other property therein are held by you as custodian for the Administrative Agent.

Except as provided in paragraphs (d) below, the Account shall not be subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim, defense, recoupment or any other right in favor of any person or entity other than the Administrative Agent. By your execution of this letter agreement you also acknowledge that, as of the date hereof, you have received no notice of any other pledge or assignment of the Account and have not executed any agreements with third parties concerning the disposition of funds in the Account.

Annex 2 to

Amended and Restated Security Agreement

[Name and Address of Eligible Securities Intermediary]

[Date]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned ____________________ (the “Pledgor”) together with certain of its affiliates are party to an Amended and Restated Security Agreement dated June __, 2006 in favor of Credit Suisse, Cayman Island Branch, as agent for the Secured Parties referred to therein (the “Pledgee” and such agreement, as it may be amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Amended and Restated Security Agreement”) pursuant to which a security interest is granted by the Pledgor in all present and future Assets (hereinafter defined) in Account No. _______ of the Pledgor (the “Pledge”).

In connection therewith, the Pledgor hereby instructs you (the “Eligible Securities Intermediary”) to:

1.                                       maintain the Account, as “________________ __________ Control Account”;

2.                                       hold in the Account the assets, including all financial assets, securities, security entitlements and all other property and rights now or hereafter received in such Account (collectively the “Assets”), including without limitation those assets listed in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof;

3.                                       provide to the Pledgee, with a duplicate copy to the Pledgor, a monthly statement of Assets and a confirmation statement of each transaction effected in the Account after such transaction is effected; and

4.                                       honor only the instructions or entitlement orders in regard to or in connection with the Account given by an Authorized Officer of the Pledgee, except that until such time as the Pledgee gives a written notice to the Eligible Securities Intermediary that the Pledgor’s rights under this sentence have been terminated (on which notice the Eligible Securities Intermediary may rely exclusively), the Pledgor acting through an Authorized Officer may (a) exercise any voting rights that it may have with respect to any of the Assets, (b) give instructions to enter into purchase or sale transactions in the Account and (c) withdraw and receive for its own use all regularly scheduled interest and dividends paid with respect to the Assets and all cash proceeds of any sale of Assets (“Permitted Withdrawals”); provided, however, that unless the Pledgee has consented to the specific transaction, the Pledgor shall not instruct the Eligible Securities Intermediary to deliver and, except as may be required by law or by court order, the Eligible Securities Intermediary shall not deliver, cash and/or securities, or proceeds from the sale of, or distributions on, such securities out of the Account to the Pledgor or to any other person or entity other than Permitted Withdrawals.

1

By its signature below, the Eligible Securities Intermediary agrees to comply with the entitlement orders and instructions of an Authorized Officer of the Pledgee (including without limitation any instructions with respect to sales, trades, transfers and withdrawals of cash or other of the Assets) without the consent of the Pledgor or any other person (it being understood and agreed by the Pledgor that the Eligible Securities Intermediary shall have no duty or obligation whatsoever of any kind or character to have knowledge of the terms of the Amended and Restated Security Agreement or to determine whether or not an event of default exists thereunder). The Pledgor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Eligible Securities Intermediary, its affiliates, officers and employees from and against any and all claims, causes of action, liabilities, lawsuits, demands and/or damages, including any and all court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees, that may result by reason of the Eligible Securities Intermediary complying with such instructions of the Pledgee. In the event that the Eligible Securities Intermediary is sued or becomes involved in litigation as a result of complying with the above stated written instructions, the Pledgor and the Pledgee agree that the Eligible Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to charge all costs and fees it incurs in connection with such litigation to the Assets in the Account and withdraw such sums as the costs and charges accrue.

The Authorized Officer of the Pledgee who shall give oral instructions hereunder shall confirm the same in writing to the Eligible Securities Intermediary within five days after such oral instructions are given.

For the purpose of this Agreement, the term “Authorized Officer of Pledgor” shall refer in the singular to ____________________ or ____________________ (each of whom is, on the date hereof, an officer or director of the Pledgor) and “Authorized Officer of Pledgee” shall refer in the singular to any Person who is a vice president or managing director of the Pledgee. In the event that the Pledgor shall find it advisable to designate a replacement of any of its Authorized Officers, written notice of any such replacement shall be given to the Eligible Securities Intermediary and the Pledgee.

Except with respect to the obligations and duties as set forth herein, this Agreement shall not impose or create any obligations or duties upon the Eligible Securities Intermediary greater than or in addition to the customary and usual obligations and duties of the Eligible Securities Intermediary to the Pledgor.

As long as the Assets are pledged to the Pledgee: (i) the Eligible Securities Intermediary will not invade the Assets to cover margin debits or calls in any other accounts of the Pledgor and (ii) the Eligible Securities Intermediary agrees that, except for liens resulting from customary commissions, fees, or charges based upon transactions in the Account, it subordinates in favor of the Pledgee any security interest, lien or right of setoff the Eligible Securities Intermediary may have. The Eligible Securities Intermediary acknowledges that it has not received notice of any other security interest in the Account or the Assets. In the event any such notice is received, the Eligible Securities Intermediary will promptly notify the Pledgee. The Pledgor herein represents that the Assets are free and clear of any lien or encumbrances and agrees that, with the exception of the security interest granted to the Pledgee, no lien or encumbrance will be placed by it on the Assets without the express written consent of both the Pledgee and the Eligible Securities Intermediary.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and it and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, and the law of the Eligible Securities Intermediary’s jurisdiction for the purposes of Section 8-110 of the UCC shall be, the law of the State of New York.

The Eligible Securities Intermediary will treat all property at any time held by the Eligible Securities Intermediary in the Account as financial assets within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code. The Eligible Securities Intermediary acknowledges that this Agreement constitutes written notification to the Eligible Securities Intermediary, pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code and any applicable federal regulations for the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, of the Pledgee’s security interest in the Assets. The Pledgor, Pledgee and Eligible Securities Intermediary are entering into this Agreement to provide for the Pledgee’s control of the Assets and to confirm the first and exclusive priority of the Pledgee’s security interest in the Assets. The Eligible Securities Intermediary agrees to promptly make and thereafter maintain all necessary entries or notations in its books and records to reflect the Pledgee’s security interest in the Assets.

If any term or provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if the invalid or unenforceable term or provision were omitted. This Agreement may not be altered or amended in any manner without the express written consent of the Pledgor, the Pledgee and the Eligible Securities Intermediary. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which shall constitute one original agreement.

This Agreement may be terminated by the Eligible Securities Intermediary upon 30 day’s prior written notice to the Pledgor and the Pledgee. Upon expiration of such 30-day period, the Eligible Securities Intermediary shall be under no further obligation except to hold the Assets in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, pending receipt of written instructions from the Pledgor and the Pledgee, jointly, regarding the further disposition of the pledged Assets.

The Pledgor acknowledges that this Agreement supplements any existing agreements of the Pledgor with the Eligible Securities Intermediary and, except as expressly provided herein, is in no way intended to abridge any rights that the Eligible Securities Intermediary might otherwise have.
