D. Each Obligor shall derive both direct and indirect benefits from the loans and other financial accommodations (collectively, the “Loans”) made pursuant to the provisions of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

E. One of the conditions precedent to Agent and the Lenders entering into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is that each Obligor execute and deliver this Agreement to acknowledge and agree that the Existing Collateral Documents, and the liens, security interests and guarantees granted and issued thereunder, secure and guaranty the Obligations and all other obligations, liabilities and indebtedness (collectively, the “Liabilities”) of the Obligors under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, each of the undersigned hereby agrees as follows:

1. References Contained in the Existing Collateral Documents. All references in the Existing Collateral Documents to the “Obligations” or any other obligations, liabilities or indebtedness of the Obligors owing from time to time and at any time to Agent and the Lenders shall be deemed to refer to, without limitation, the “Obligations” of the Credit Parties under, pursuant to and as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Each Obligor acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents executed and delivered in connection therewith and acknowledges that each of the Existing Collateral Documents, as amended hereby, remains in full force and effect and hereby is ratified and confirmed. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the performance of the Obligors’ obligations hereunder, shall not (i) operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Agent or the Lenders, (ii) constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Existing Collateral Documents, or (iii) constitute a novation of any of the Liabilities or other obligations under the Initial Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents

(including, without limitation, the Existing Collateral Documents). Each Obligor agrees that this Agreement constitutes a “Loan Document” under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

8. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

9. Merger. This Agreement represents the final agreement of each Obligor with respect to the matters contained herein and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior or contemporaneous agreements, or prior or subsequent oral agreements, between any of the Obligors and the Agent.

10. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, 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.

GUARANTY

Section 2.1                                    Guaranty. To induce the Lender to make the Loan, each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity or earlier, by reason of acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise in accordance with any Loan Document, of all the Obligations of the Borrower whether existing on the date

5

hereof or hereinafter incurred or created (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). This Guaranty by each Guarantor hereunder constitutes a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

Section 2.2                                    Limitation of Guaranty. Any term or provision of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount for which any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Subsidiary Guarantor can be liable without rendering this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, subject to avoidance under applicable Requirements of Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer (including the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and Section 548 of title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable Requirements of Law) (collectively, “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”). Any analysis of the provisions of this Guaranty for purposes of Fraudulent Transfer Laws shall take into account the right of contribution established in Section 2.3 and, for purposes of such analysis, give effect to any discharge of intercompany debt as a result of any payment made under the Guaranty.

Section 2.3                                    Contribution. To the extent that any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required hereunder to pay any portion of any Guaranteed Obligation exceeding the greater of (a) the amount of the economic benefit actually received by such Subsidiary Guarantor from the Loans and other Obligations and (b) the amount such Subsidiary Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Subsidiary Guarantor had paid the aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (excluding the amount thereof repaid by the Borrower) in the same proportion as such Subsidiary Guarantor’s net worth on the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all the Subsidiary Guarantors on such date, then such Guarantor shall be reimbursed by such other Subsidiary Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata, based on the respective net worth of such other Subsidiary Guarantors on such date.

Section 2.4                                    Authorization; Other Agreements. The Lender is hereby authorized, without notice to or demand upon any Guarantor and without discharging or otherwise affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder and without incurring any liability hereunder, from time to time, to do each of the following:

(a)                                 subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, (i) modify, amend, supplement or otherwise change, (ii) accelerate or otherwise change the time of payment or (iii) waive or otherwise consent to noncompliance with, any Guaranteed Obligation or any Loan Document;

(b)                                 apply to the Guaranteed Obligations any sums by whomever paid or however realized to any Guaranteed Obligation in such order as provided in the Loan Documents;

(c)                                  refund at any time any payment received by Lender in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation;

(d)                                 (i) Sell, exchange, enforce, waive, substitute, liquidate, terminate, release, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, accept, substitute, surrender, exchange, affect, impair or otherwise alter or release any Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligation or any other guaranty therefor in any manner, (ii) receive, take and hold additional Collateral to secure any Guaranteed Obligation, (iii) add, release or substitute any one or more other Guarantors, makers or endorsers of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof and (iv) otherwise deal in any manner with the Borrower and any other Guarantor, maker or endorser of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof; and

6

(e)                                  settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 2.5                                    Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, and agrees not to assert any defense, whether arising in connection with or in respect of any of the following or otherwise, and hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guaranty are irrevocable, absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged as a result of or otherwise affected by any of the following (which may not be pleaded and evidence of which may not be introduced in any proceeding with respect to this Guaranty, in each case except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Lender), other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted):

(a)                                 the invalidity or unenforceability of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Guarantor under any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (including any amendment, consent or waiver thereto), or any security for, or other guaranty of, any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof;

(b)                                 the absence of (i) any attempt to collect any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof from the Borrower or any other Guarantor or other action to enforce the same or (ii) any action to enforce any Loan Document or any Lien thereunder;

(c)                                  the failure by any Person to take any steps to perfect and maintain any Lien on, or to preserve any rights with respect to, any Collateral;

(d)                                 any workout, insolvency, bankruptcy proceeding, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation or dissolution by or against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any of the Borrower’s other Subsidiaries or any procedure, agreement, order, stipulation, election, action or omission thereunder, including any discharge or disallowance of, or bar or stay against collecting, any Guaranteed Obligation (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding;

(e)                                  any foreclosure, whether or not through judicial sale, and any other Sale of any Collateral or any election following the occurrence of an Event of Default by Lender to proceed separately against any Collateral in accordance with Lender’s rights under any applicable Requirement of Law; or

(f)                                   any other defense, setoff, counterclaim or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any of the Borrower’s other Subsidiaries.

Section 2.6                                    Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, and agrees not to assert, until the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) shall have been paid in full, any claim, defense (other than defense of payment), setoff or counterclaim based on diligence, promptness, presentment, requirements for any demand or notice hereunder including any of the following: (a) any demand for payment or performance and protest and notice of protest, (b) any notice of acceptance, (c) any presentment, demand, protest or further notice or other requirements of any kind with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation (including any accrued but unpaid interest thereon) becoming immediately due and payable, (d) any other notice in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, and any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any other Guarantor, and (e) the benefits of any

7

statutory or common law provision limiting the right of Lender to recover a deficiency judgment, or to otherwise proceed, against any Person obligated for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, after any foreclosure or trustee’s sale of any collateral securing payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, including the benefits, if any, of Arizona Revised Statutes Section 33-814. Each Guarantor further unconditionally and irrevocably agrees, until the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) shall have been paid in full, not to (x) enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation or any right of reimbursement or contribution or similar right against the Borrower or any other Guarantor by reason of any Loan Document or any payment made thereunder, (y) assert any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim it may have against any other Credit Party or set off any of its obligations to such other Credit Party against obligations of such Credit Party to such Guarantor, or (z) assert any and all rights, benefits and defenses which might otherwise be available under the provisions of Arizona Revised Statutes Sections 12-1641, 121642,44-141, 44-142 or 47-3605, or Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 17(f), or any other applicable statutes, rules or common law principles or provisions which might operate to limit Guarantor’s liability under, or the enforcement of, this Guaranty. No obligation of any Guarantor hereunder shall be discharged other than by complete performance.

Section 2.7                                    Reliance. Each Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower, each other Guarantor and any other guarantor, maker or endorser of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof that diligent inquiry would reveal, and each Guarantor hereby agrees that Lender shall have no duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event Lender, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any Guarantor, Lender shall be under no obligation to (a) undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (b) disclose any information that Lender, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (c) make any future disclosures of such information or any other information to any Guarantor.

Grantor agrees that ten (10) calendar Business Days’ notice of any sale or disposition shall be reasonable notice thereof. The Lender shall have the right, upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable Requirements of Law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released.

(c)                                  Management of the Collateral. Each Grantor further agrees, that, during the continuance of any Event of Default, (1) at the Lender’s request, it shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Lender at places that the Lender shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere, (ii) without limiting the foregoing, the Lender also has the right to require that each Grantor store and keep any Collateral pending further action by the Lender and, while any such Collateral is so stored or kept, provide such guards and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain such Collateral in good condition, (iii) until the Lender is able to Sell any Collateral, the Lender shall have the right to hold or use such Collateral to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving the Collateral or its value or for. any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Lender and (iv) the Lender may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of any Collateral and to enforce any of the Lender’s remedies with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. The Lender shall not have any obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of any Grantor as against third parties with respect to any Collateral while such Collateral is in the possession of the Lender.

(d)                                 Application of Proceeds.

All of the rights and remedies of the Lender under any Loan Document shall be cumulative, may be ,exercised individually or concurrently and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by any Requirement of Law. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Lender, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety, now or hereafter existing, arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of any 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.

(f)                                   Commercially Reasonable. To the extent that applicable Requirements of Law impose duties on the Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Lender to do any of the following:

(i)                                     fail to incur significant costs, expenses or other Liabilities reasonably deemed as such by the Lender to prepare any Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition;

16

(ii)                                  fail to obtain Permits, or other consents, for access to any Collateral to Sell or for the collection or Sale of any Collateral, or, if not required by other Requirements of Law, fail to obtain Permits or other consents for the collection or disposition of any Collateral;

(iii)                               fail to exercise remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on any Collateral or to remove Liens on any Collateral or to remove any adverse claims against any Collateral;

(iv)                              advertise dispositions of any Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature or to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring any such Collateral;

(v)                                 exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on any Collateral, directly or through the use of collection agencies or other collection specialists, hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of any Collateral, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature or, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Lender, obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Lender in the collection or disposition of any Collateral, or utilize Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets to dispose of any Collateral;

(vi)                              dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets;

(vii)                           disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment; or

(viii)                        purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Lender against risks of loss, collection or disposition of any Collateral or to provide to the Lender a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of any Collateral.

Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 6.1 is to provide a non-exhaustive list of actions or omissions that are commercially reasonable when exercising remedies against any Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Lender shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 6.1. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 6.1 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Lender that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable Requirements of Law in the absence of this Section 6.1.

(g)                                 Licenses. For the purpose of enabling the Lender to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 6.1 during the continuance of an Event of Default (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, Sell or grant options to purchase any Collateral) at such time as the Lender shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants (provided that such Grantor has the right to grant such license) to the Lender (i) an irrevocable (until release or termination), nonexclusive, worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), including in such license the right to sublicense, use and practice any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor and access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all Software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof; provided that Lender (y) maintains a quality of the goods and services provided in connection with such Grantor’s Trademarks that is reasonable under the circumstances, and (z) maintains the confidentiality of such Grantor’s Trade Secrets in a manner that is reasonable under the circumstances, and (ii) an irrevocable (until release or termination) license (without payment of rent or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, operate and occupy all real property owned, operated, leased, subleased or otherwise occupied by such Grantor, which licenses in clauses (i) and (ii) shall automatically terminate upon the termination and release provided in Section 8.2.

Until so turned over, such payment shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Lender, 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 any time during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(ii)                                  the Lender may, without notice, at any time 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 and, in its own name or in the name of others, communicate with account debtors to verify with them to the Lender’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any account or amounts due under any general intangible. In addition, the Lender may at any time enforce such Grantor’s rights against such account debtors and obligors of general intangibles.

(c)                                  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each account and each payment 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. Lender 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 any Loan Document or the receipt by Lender of any payment relating thereto, nor shall Lender be obligated in any manner to perform any obligation 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 that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

18

equivalent structure of any issuer of Pledged Stock, 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 Lender may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; provided, however, that the Lender 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; provided, further, that the foregoing provision shall not apply with respect to (and this clause (a) shall not be construed as a restriction of) any voting and/or consensual rights such Grantor is entitled to exercise in connection with the approval, payment and/or accrual of dividend, distribution or other payment permitted under Section 5.7 of the Credit Agreement.

(b)                                 Proxies.

(c)                                  Authorization of Issuers. Each Grantor hereby expressly irrevocably authorizes and instructs, without any further instructions from such Grantor, each issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by such Grantor to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Lender in writing that states that an Event of Default is continuing and is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each Grantor agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected from Liabilities to such Grantor in so complying and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividend or make any other payment with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to the Lender.

(d)                                 Return of Distributions. Immediately following the waiver of all Events of Default, the Lender shall return to each Grantor all cash and funds that Lender has received pursuant to this Section 6.3 that such Grantor is otherwise entitled to retain pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Credit Agreement if such cash or funds have not been applied to repayment of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

Section 6.4                                    Proceeds to be Turned over to and Held by Lender. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Credit Agreement or this Agreement during the continuation of an Event of Default under Sections 6.1(e), (f) or (g) of the Credit Agreement, or upon acceleration of the Loans under the Credit Agreement, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor hereunder in cash or Cash Equivalents shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Lender, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, promptly upon receipt by any Grantor, be

19

turned over to the Lender in the exact form received (with any necessary endorsement). All such proceeds of Collateral and any other proceeds of any Collateral received by the Lender in cash or Cash Equivalents shall, if required by Lender, be held by the Lender in a Cash Collateral Account. All proceeds being held by the Lender in a Cash Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Lender) 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 6.5                                    Certain Sales of Pledged Collateral.

(a)                                 Each Grantor recognizes that the Lender 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 or foreign securities laws or otherwise or may determine that a public sale is impracticable, not desirable 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. 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 Lender 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)                                 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 any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section 6.5 valid and binding and in compliance with all applicable Requirements of Law.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 8.1                                    Reinstatement. Each Grantor agrees that, if any payment made by any Credit Party or 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 any Collateral are required to be returned by Lender to such Credit 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

22

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. If, prior to any of the foregoing, (a) any Lien or other Collateral securing such Grantor’s liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of the foregoing or (b) any provision of the Guaranty hereunder shall have been terminated, cancelled or surrendered, such Lien, other Collateral or provision shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior release, termination, cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect, the obligations of any such Grantor in respect of any Lien or other Collateral securing such obligation or the amount of such payment.

Section 8.2                                    Release of Collateral. (a) If a release of any Collateral is permitted under Section 7.2 of the Credit Agreement, such Collateral shall be automatically released from the Lien created hereby to the extent provided under, and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 7.2 of the Credit Agreement, all rights, licenses, liens and interests of the Lender hereunder with respect to such Collateral shall be released without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to such Collateral shall revert to the applicable Grantor. In connection therewith, the Lender, at the request of any Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such release at the sole cost and expense of Grantor. Following written notice to Lender, each applicable Grantor is hereby authorized to file UCC amendments and to make filings with the Applicable IP Office at such time evidencing the termination of the Liens so released.

(b)                                 When all the Obligations (other than contingent obligations) have been irrevocably paid in full and the commitment of the Lender to make ‘any RLOC Advances or otherwise provide credit to Borrower shall have expired, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and all rights, liens and interests of the Lender and the other Secured Parties hereunder with respect to such Collateral shall be released without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to such Collateral shall revert to the applicable Grantor. In connection therewith, the Lender, at the request of any Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such release at the sole cost and expense of Grantor.

(c)                                  At the request of Borrower, a Grantor shall be automatically released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the Stock and Stock Equivalents of such Grantor shall be sold to any Person that is not an Affiliate of ZKI, the Borrower or the Subsidiaries of the Borrower in a transaction expressly permitted by the Loan Agreement.

Section 8.3                                    Independent Obligations. The obligations of each Grantor hereunder are independent of and separate from the Secured Obligations and the Guaranteed Obligations. If any Secured Obligation or Guaranteed Obligation is not paid when due, or upon any Event of Default, the Lender may, at its sole election, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Grantor and any Collateral to collect and recover the full amount of any Secured Obligation or Guaranteed Obligation then due, without first proceeding against any other Grantor, any other Loan Party or any other Collateral and without first joining any other Grantor or any other Loan Party in any proceeding.

Section 8.4                                    No Waiver by Course of Conduct. Lender shall not by any act 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

23

exercising, on the part of Lender, 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 Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion.

Section 8.5                                    Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that annexes to this Agreement may be supplemented (but no existing provisions may be modified and no Collateral may be released) through Pledge Amendments, in substantially the form of Annex 1 and Annex 3, respectively, in each case duly executed by the Lender and each Grantor directly affected thereby.

Section 8.7                                    Notices.
