be hereafter contracted or acquired, or owing, of any Debtor to the Secured
Party under this Agreement, the Notes, the Purchase Agreement, the Guaranty and
any other instruments, agreements or other documents executed and/or delivered
in connection herewith or therewith, in each case, whether now or hereafter
existing, voluntary or involuntary, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent,
liquidated or unliquidated, whether or not jointly owed with others, and whether
or not from time to time decreased or extinguished and later increased, created
or incurred, and all or any portion of such obligations or liabilities that are
paid, to the extent all or any part of such payment is avoided or recovered
directly or indirectly from the Secured Party as a preference, fraudulent
transfer or otherwise as such obligations may be amended, supplemented,

the generality of the foregoing, the term “Obligations” shall include, without
limitation: (i) principal of, and interest on, the Notes and the loans extended
pursuant thereto; (ii) any and all other fees, indemnities, costs, obligations

limited to post-petition interest) in respect of the foregoing that would be
payable but for the fact that the obligations to pay such amounts are
unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy,

Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York and/or any other applicable law
of any state or states which have jurisdiction with respect to all, or any
portion of, the Collateral or this Agreement, from time to time. It
is the intent of the parties that defined terms in the UCC should be construed
in their broadest sense so that the term “Collateral” will be construed in its
broadest sense. Accordingly if there are, from time to time, changes
to defined terms in the UCC that broaden the definitions, they are incorporated
herein, and if existing definitions in the UCC are broader than the amended
definitions, the existing ones shall be controlling.

2. Grant of Security Interest in Collateral. As an
inducement for the Lenders to extend the loans as evidenced by the Notes and to
secure the complete and timely payment, performance and discharge in full, as
the case may be, of all of the Obligations, each Debtor hereby unconditionally
and irrevocably pledges, grants and hypothecates to the Secured Party a security
interest in and to, a lien upon, and a right of set-off against, all of its
respective right, title and interest of whatsoever kind and nature in and to the
Collateral (a “Security Interest”
and collectively, the “Security
Interests”). To the extent there is at any time more than one
Secured Party hereunder, the Collateral will secure the Obligations to the
Secured Party on a pari passu basis, based on the then outstanding amount of
such Obligations.
3. Delivery of Certain
Collateral. Contemporaneously with or prior to the execution
of this Agreement, each Debtor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the
Secured Party (a) any and all certificates and other instruments representing or
evidencing the Pledged Securities, and (b) any and all certificates and other
instruments or documents representing any of the other Collateral, in each case,
together with all Necessary Endorsements. The Debtors are,
contemporaneously with the execution hereof, delivering to the Secured Party, or
have previously delivered to the Secured Party, a true and correct copy of each
Organizational Document governing any of the Pledged Securities.
4. Representations, Warranties,
Covenants and Agreements of the Debtors. Except as set forth under the
corresponding section of the disclosure schedules delivered to the Secured Party
concurrently herewith (the “Disclosure Schedules”),
which Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed a part hereof, each Debtor represents
and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Secured Party as
follows:
(a) Each
Debtor has the requisite corporate, partnership, limited liability company or
other power and authority to enter into this Agreement and otherwise to carry
out its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by each
Debtor of this Agreement and the filings contemplated therein have been duly
authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Debtor and no further
action is required by such Debtor. This Agreement has been duly
executed by each Debtor. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid
and binding obligation of each Debtor, enforceable against each Debtor in
accordance with its terms except as such enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and similar laws of general
application relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and by
general principles of equity.
(b) The
Debtors have no place of business or offices where their respective books of
account and records are kept (other than temporarily at the offices of their
attorneys or accountants) or places where Collateral is stored or located,
except as set forth on Schedule A attached
hereto. The Debtors own of record, subject only to Permitted
Encumbrances (as defined in the Notes), the real property where such Collateral
is located, as identified on Schedule
A. Except as disclosed on Schedule A, none of such
Collateral is in the possession of any consignee, bailee, warehouseman, agent or
processor.
(c) Except
for Permitted Encumbrances and except as set forth on Schedule B attached
hereto, the Debtors are the sole owners of the Collateral, free and clear of any
liens, security interests, encumbrances, rights or claims, and are fully
authorized to grant the Security Interests. Except with respect to
Permitted Encumbrances and except as set forth on Schedule B attached
hereto, there is not on file in any governmental or regulatory authority, agency
or recording office an effective financing statement, security agreement,
license or transfer or any notice of any of the foregoing (other than those that
will be filed in favor of the Secured Party pursuant to this Agreement) covering
or affecting any of the Collateral. Except with respect to Permitted
Encumbrances, except as set forth on Schedule B attached
hereto and except pursuant to this Agreement, as long as this Agreement shall be
in effect, the Debtors shall not execute and shall not knowingly permit to be on
file in any such office or agency any other financing statement or other similar
document or instrument (except to the extent filed or recorded in favor of the
Secured Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement).
(d) No
written claim has been received by any Debtor that any Collateral or Debtor's
use of any Collateral violates the rights of any third party. There has been no
adverse decision to any Debtor's claim of ownership rights in or exclusive
rights to use the Collateral in any jurisdiction or to any Debtor's right to
keep and maintain such Collateral in full force and effect, and there is no
proceeding involving said rights pending or, to the best knowledge of any
Debtor, threatened before any court, judicial body, administrative or regulatory
agency, arbitrator or other governmental authority.
(e) Each
Debtor shall at all times maintain its books of account and records relating to
the Collateral at its principal place of business (except when temporarily kept
at the offices of its attorneys or accountants) and its Collateral at the
locations set forth on Schedule A attached
hereto and may not relocate such books of account and records or tangible
Collateral unless it delivers to the Secured Party at least 30 days prior to
such relocation (i) written notice of such relocation and the new location
thereof (which must be within the United States) and (ii) evidence that
appropriate financing statements under the UCC and other necessary documents
have been filed and recorded and other steps have been taken to perfect the
Security Interests to create in favor of the Secured Party, subject to Permitted
Encumbrances, a valid, perfected and continuing perfected first priority lien in
the Collateral.
5
(f) This
Agreement creates in favor of the Secured Party a valid, security interest in
the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined in the
Notes), securing the payment and performance of the Obligations. Upon
making the filings described in the immediately following paragraph, all
security interests created hereunder in any Collateral which may be perfected by
filing UCC financing statements shall have been duly
perfected. Except for the filing of the UCC financing statements
referred to in the immediately following paragraph, the recordation of the
Intellectual Property Security Agreement (as defined below) with respect to
copyrights and copyright applications in the United States Copyright Office
referred to in paragraph (p), and the delivery of the certificates and other
instruments provided in Section 3, no action is necessary to create, perfect or
protect the security interests created hereunder. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, except for the filing of said financing
statements and the recordation of said Intellectual Property Security Agreement,
no consent of any third parties and no authorization, approval or other action
by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory
body is required for (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement, (ii) the creation or perfection of the Security Interests created
hereunder in the Collateral or (iii) the enforcement of the rights of the
Secured Party hereunder.
(g) Each
Debtor hereby authorizes the Secured Party to file one or more financing
statements under the UCC with respect to the Security Interests with the proper
filing and recording agencies in any jurisdiction deemed proper by it, which UCC
financing statement may describe the collateral as “All assets”.
(h) The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Debtors do not (i)
violate any of the provisions of any Organizational Documents of any Debtor or
any judgment, decree, order or award of any court, governmental body or
arbitrator or any applicable law, rule or regulation applicable to any Debtor or
(ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or
lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any
rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without
notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or other
instrument (evidencing any Debtor's debt or otherwise) or other understanding to
which any Debtor is a party or by which any property or asset of any Debtor is
bound or affected. If any, all required consents (including, without limitation,
from stockholders or creditors of any Debtor) necessary for any Debtor to enter
into and perform its obligations hereunder have been obtained.
(i) The
capital stock and other equity interests listed on Schedule H hereto
(the “Pledged
Securities”) represent all of the capital stock and other equity
interests in and to the Guarantors and the other subsidiaries of the Company,
and represent all capital stock and other equity interests owned, directly or
indirectly, by the Company. All of the Pledged Securities are validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and the Company is the legal and
beneficial owner of the Pledged Securities, free and clear of any lien,
security interest or other encumbrance except for the security interests created
by this Agreement and other Permitted Encumbrances. Each Debtor shall
cause the pledge and security interest of the Secured Party to be duly noted in
its corporate books and records.
(j) The
ownership and other equity interests in partnerships and limited liability
companies (if any) included in the Collateral (the “Pledged Interests”)
by their express terms do not provide that they are securities governed by
Article 8 of the UCC and are not held in a securities account or by any
financial intermediary.
6
(k) Except
for Permitted Encumbrances (as defined in the Notes), each Debtor shall at all
times maintain the liens and Security Interests provided for hereunder as valid
and perfected first priority liens and security interests in the Collateral in
favor of the Secured Party until this Agreement and the Security Interests
hereunder shall be terminated pursuant to Section 14 hereof. Each
Debtor hereby agrees to defend the same against the claims of any and all
persons and entities and to safeguard and protect all Collateral for the account
of the Secured Party. At the reasonable request of the Secured Party,
each Debtor will sign and deliver to the Secured Party at any time or from time
to time one or more financing statements pursuant to the UCC in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Secured Party and will pay the cost of filing the same
in all public offices wherever filing is necessary to effect the rights and
obligations provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Debtor shall pay all fees, taxes and other amounts necessary to
maintain the Collateral and the Security Interests hereunder, and each Debtor
shall obtain and furnish to the Secured Party from time to time, upon
demand, such releases and/or subordinations of claims and liens which may be
required to maintain in accordance with this Agreement the priority of the
Security Interests hereunder.
(l) Except
for Permitted Encumbrances (as defined in the Notes), no Debtor will transfer,
pledge, hypothecate, encumber, license, sell or otherwise dispose of any of the
Collateral (except for non-exclusive revocable licenses granted by a Debtor in
its ordinary course of business and sales of inventory by a Debtor in its
ordinary course of business) without the prior written consent of the Secured
Party.
(m) Each
Debtor shall keep and preserve its equipment, inventory and other tangible
Collateral in good condition, repair and order and shall not operate or locate
any such Collateral (or cause to be operated or located) in any area excluded
from insurance coverage.
(n) Each
Debtor shall maintain with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance
with respect to the Collateral, including Collateral hereafter acquired, against
loss or damage of the kinds and in the amounts customarily insured against by
entities of established reputation having similar properties similarly situated
and in such amounts as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by
other such entities and otherwise as is prudent for entities engaged in similar
businesses but in any event sufficient to cover the full replacement cost
thereof. Each Debtor shall cause each insurance policy issued in
connection herewith to provide, and the insurer issuing such policy to certify
to the Secured Party that (a) the Secured Party will be named as
lender loss payee and additional insured under each such insurance policy; (b)
if such insurance be proposed to be cancelled or materially changed for any
reason whatsoever, such insurer will promptly notify the Secured Party and
such cancellation or change shall not be effective as to the Secured Party for
at least thirty (30) days after receipt by the Secured Party of such
notice, unless the effect of such change is to extend or increase coverage under
the policy; and (c) the Secured Party will have the right (but no obligation) at
its election to remedy any default in the payment of premiums within thirty (30)
days of notice from the insurer of such default. If no Event of
Default (as defined in the Notes) exists and if the proceeds arising out of any
claim or series of related claims do not exceed $100,000, loss payments in each
instance will be applied by the applicable Debtor to the repair and/or
replacement of property with respect to which the loss was incurred to the
extent reasonably feasible, and any loss payments or the balance thereof
remaining, to the extent not so applied, shall be payable to the applicable
Debtor, provided, however, that payments received by any Debtor after an Event
of Default occurs and is continuing or in excess of $100,000 for any occurrence
or series of related occurrences shall be paid to the Secured Party and, if
received by such Debtor, shall be held in trust for the Secured Party and
promptly paid over to the Secured Party unless otherwise directed in writing by
the Secured Party. Copies of such policies or the related
certificates, in each case, naming the Secured Party as lender loss payee
and additional insured shall be delivered to the Secured Party at least
annually and at the time any new policy of insurance is issued.
(o) Each
Debtor shall, within ten (10) days of obtaining knowledge thereof, advise the
Secured Party promptly, in sufficient detail, of any material adverse change in
the Collateral, and of the occurrence of any event which would have a material
adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or on the Secured Party’s security
interest therein.
7
(p) Each
Debtor shall promptly execute and deliver to the Secured Party such further
deeds, mortgages, assignments, security agreements, financing statements or
other instruments, documents, certificates and assurances and take such further
action as the Secured Party may from time to time request as necessary to
perfect, protect or enforce the Secured Party’s security interest in the
Collateral (including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of a
separate security agreement with respect to each Debtor’s Intellectual Property
(“Intellectual Property Security
Agreement”) to be delivered on the date hereof) in which the Secured
Party has been granted a security interest hereunder, substantially in a form
reasonably acceptable to the Secured Party.
(q) Each
Debtor shall permit the Secured Party and its representatives and agents
reasonable access to inspect the Collateral during normal business hours, upon
reasonable prior notice and without undue interference with such Debtor’s
business operations, and to make copies of records pertaining to the Collateral
as may be reasonably requested by the Secured Party from time to
time.

Debtor shall take all steps reasonably necessary to diligently pursue and seek
to preserve, enforce and collect any rights, claims, causes of action and
accounts receivable in respect of the Collateral.

becoming aware of any attachment, garnishment, execution or other legal process
levied against any Collateral and of any other information received by such
Debtor that would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral,
the Security Interest or the rights and remedies of the Secured Party
hereunder.
(t) All
information heretofore, herein or hereafter supplied to the Secured Party by or
on behalf of any Debtor with respect to the Collateral is accurate and complete
in all material respects as of the date furnished.
(u) The
Debtors shall at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect their
respective valid existence and good standing and any rights and franchises
material to their respective businesses.
(v) No Debtor
will change its name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization,
organizational identification number (if it has one), legal or corporate
structure, or identity, or add any new fictitious name unless it provides at
least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Secured Party of such change and, at
the time of such written notification, such Debtor provides any financing
statements or fixture filings necessary to perfect and continue the perfection
of the Security Interests granted and evidenced by this Agreement.
(w) No Debtor
may consign any of its Inventory or sell any of its Inventory on xxxx and hold,
sale or return, sale on approval, or other conditional terms of sale without the
consent of the Secured Party, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
(x) No Debtor
may relocate its chief executive office to a new location without providing 30
days’ prior written notification thereof to the Secured Party and so long as, at

statements or fixture filings necessary to perfect and continue the perfection
of the Security Interests granted and evidenced by this Agreement.

Debtor was organized and remains organized solely under the laws of the state

secured party to perfect the security interest created hereby, the applicable
Debtor shall deliver such Collateral to the Secured Party.
(bb) Each
Debtor, in its capacity as issuer, hereby agrees to comply with any and all
reasonable orders and instructions of Secured Party regarding the Pledged
Interests consistent with the terms of this Agreement without the further
consent of any Debtor as contemplated by Section 8-106 (or any successor
section) of the UCC. Further, each Debtor agrees that it shall not
enter into a similar agreement (or one that would confer “control” within the
meaning of Article 8 of the UCC) with any other person
or entity.
(cc) Each
Debtor shall cause all tangible chattel paper constituting Collateral to be
delivered to the Secured Party, or, if such delivery is not possible, then to

respect to the Collateral, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Secured Party.

Debtor shall at any time hold or acquire a commercial tort claim, such Debtor

this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Secured Party.
(hh) Each
Debtor shall promptly provide written notice to the Secured Party of any and all
accounts which arise out of contracts with any governmental authority and, to

Interests in such accounts and proceeds thereof, shall execute and deliver to

Additional Debtor shall be and become a party to this Agreement with the same
rights and obligations as the Debtors, for all purposes hereof as fully and to
the same extent as if it were an original signatory hereto and shall be deemed
to have made the representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein as
of the date of execution and delivery of such Additional Debtor Joinder, and all
references herein to the “Debtors” shall be deemed to include each Additional
Debtor.
(jj) Each
Debtor shall vote the Pledged Securities to comply with the covenants and
agreements set forth herein and in the Notes and the other Transaction Documents
(as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
9
(kk) Each
Debtor shall register the pledge of the applicable Pledged Securities on the
books of such Debtor. Each Debtor shall notify each issuer of Pledged
Securities to register the pledge of the applicable Pledged Securities in the
name of the Secured Party on the books of such issuer. Further,
except with respect to certificated securities delivered to the Secured Party, the
applicable Debtor shall deliver to the Secured
Party an acknowledgement of pledge (which, where appropriate, shall
comply with the requirements of the relevant UCC with respect to perfection by
registration) signed by the issuer of the applicable Pledged Securities, which
acknowledgement shall confirm that: (a) it has registered the pledge on its
books and records; and (b) at any time directed by the Secured Party
during the continuation of an Event of Default, such issuer will transfer the
record ownership of such Pledged Securities into the name of any designee of the
Secured
Party, will take such steps as may be necessary to effect the transfer,
and will comply with all other reasonable instructions of the Secured
Party regarding such Pledged Securities without the further consent of
the applicable Debtor.
(ll) In the
event that, upon an occurrence of an Event of Default, the Secured Party shall
sell all or any of the Pledged Securities to another party or parties (herein
called the “Transferee”) or shall
purchase or retain all or any of the Pledged Securities, each Debtor shall, to
the extent applicable: (i) deliver to the Secured Party or the Transferee,
as the case may be, the articles of incorporation, bylaws, minute books, stock
certificate books, corporate seals, deeds, leases, indentures, agreements,
evidences of indebtedness, books of account, financial records and all other
Organizational Documents and records of such Debtor and its direct and indirect
subsidiaries; (ii) use its best efforts to obtain resignations of the persons
then serving as officers and directors of such Debtor and its direct and
indirect subsidiaries, if so requested; and (iii) use its best efforts to obtain
any approvals that are required by any governmental or regulatory body in order
to permit the sale of the Pledged Securities to the Transferee or the purchase
or retention of the Pledged Securities by the Secured Party and allow the
Transferee or Secured Party to continue the business of such Debtor and its
direct and indirect subsidiaries.
(mm) Without
limiting the generality of the other obligations of the Debtors hereunder, each
Debtor shall promptly (i) cause to be registered at the United States Copyright
Office all of its material copyrights, (ii) cause the security interest
contemplated hereby with respect to all Intellectual Property registered at the
United States Copyright Office or United States Patent and Trademark Office to
be duly recorded at the applicable office, and (iii) give the Secured
Party notice whenever it acquires (whether absolutely or by license) or
creates any additional material Intellectual Property. The Debtors
shall take all steps necessary, if permitted by law, to register the Secured
Party’s first property lien on any patents or copyrights (or applications
therefor) filed in any foreign jurisdiction within 60 days of the date hereof
and take any other steps necessary under the laws of such jurisdictions to
perfect the grant of the security interest to the Security Party to secure the
Obligations as contemplated herein.
(nn) Each
Debtor will from time to time, at the joint and several expense of the Debtors,
promptly execute and deliver all such further instruments and documents, and
take all such further action as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Secured
Party may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security
interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Secured
Party to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder and with respect
to any Collateral or to otherwise carry out the purposes of this
Agreement.
(oo) Schedule F attached
hereto lists all of the patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark
applications, registered copyrights, and domain names owned by any of the
Debtors as of the date hereof. Schedule F lists all
material licenses in favor of any Debtor for the use of any patents, trademarks,
copyrights and domain names as of the date hereof. All material
patents and trademarks of the Debtors have been duly recorded at the United
States Patent and Trademark Office and all material copyrights of the Debtors
have been duly recorded at the United States Copyright Office.
(pp) Except as
set forth on Schedule
G attached hereto, none of the account debtors or other persons or
entities obligated on any of the Collateral is a governmental authority covered
by the Federal Assignment of Claims Act or any similar federal, state or local
statute or rule in respect of such Collateral.
10
5. Effect of Pledge on Certain
Rights. If
any of the Collateral subject to this Agreement consists of nonvoting equity or
ownership interests (regardless of class, designation, preference or rights)
that may be converted into voting equity or ownership interests upon the
occurrence of certain events (including, without limitation, upon the transfer
of all or any of the other stock or assets of the issuer), it is agreed that the
pledge of such equity or ownership interests pursuant to this Agreement or the
enforcement of any of the Secured Party’s rights hereunder shall not be deemed
to be the type of event which would trigger such conversion rights
notwithstanding any provisions in the Organizational Documents or agreements to
which any Debtor is subject or to which any Debtor is party.
6. Defaults. The following events
shall be “Events of
Default”:
(a)
|
The occurrence of an Event of
Default under the Notes;
|
(b) Any
representation or warranty of any Debtor in this Agreement shall prove to have
been incorrect in any material respect when made; or
(c) The
failure by any Debtor to observe or perform any of its obligations hereunder for
five (5) days after delivery to such Debtor of notice of such failure by or on
behalf of the Secured Party unless such default is capable of cure but cannot be
cured within such time frame and such Debtor is using best efforts to cure same
in a timely fashion.
7. Duty To Hold In
Trust.
(a) Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and at any time
thereafter, each Debtor shall, upon receipt of any revenue, income, dividend,
interest or other sums subject to the Security Interests, whether payable
pursuant to the Notes or otherwise, or of any check, draft, note, trade
acceptance or other instrument evidencing an obligation to pay any such sum,
hold the same in trust for the Secured Party and shall forthwith endorse and
transfer any such sums or instruments, or both, to the Secured
Party.
(b) If any
Debtor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any securities or other
property (including, without limitation, shares of Pledged Securities or
instruments representing Pledged Securities acquired after the date hereof, or
any options, warrants, rights or other similar property or certificates
representing a dividend, or any distribution in connection with any
recapitalization, reclassification or increase or reduction of capital, or
issued in connection with any reorganization of such Debtor or any of its direct
or indirect subsidiaries) in respect of the Pledged Securities (whether as an
addition to, in substitution of, or in exchange for, such Pledged Securities or
otherwise), such Debtor agrees to (i) accept the same as the agent of the
Secured Party; (ii) hold the same in trust on behalf of and for the benefit of
the Secured Party; and (iii) deliver any and all certificates or instruments
evidencing the same to the Secured Party on or before the close of business
on the fifth business day following the receipt thereof by such Debtor, in the
exact form received together with the Necessary Endorsements, to be held by the
Secured Party subject to the terms of this Agreement as
Collateral.
11
8.
|
Rights and Remedies Upon
Default.
|
(a) Upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Secured
Party shall have the right to exercise all of the remedies conferred
hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, and the Secured Party shall
have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the
UCC. Without limitation, the Secured Party shall have the
following rights and powers:
(i) The
Secured Party shall have the right to take possession of the Collateral and, for
that purpose, enter by reasonable means, with the aid and assistance of any
person, any premises where the Collateral, or any part thereof, is or may be
placed and remove the same, and each Debtor shall assemble the Collateral and
make it available to the Secured Party at places which the Secured Party shall
reasonably select, whether at such Debtor's premises or elsewhere, and make
reasonably available to the Secured Party, without rent, all of such Debtor’s
respective premises and facilities for the purpose of the Secured
Party taking possession of, removing or putting the Collateral in saleable
or disposable form.
(ii) Upon
written notice to the Debtors by the Secured Party, all rights of each Debtor to
exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be
entitled to exercise and all rights of each Debtor to receive the dividends and
interest which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain, shall
cease. Upon such notice, the Secured Party shall have the right
to receive any interest, cash dividends or other payments on the Collateral and,
at the option of the Secured Party, to exercise in the Secured Party’s
discretion all voting rights pertaining thereto. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Secured Party shall have the right (but
not the obligation) to exercise all rights with respect to the Collateral as if
it were the sole and absolute owner thereof, including, without limitation, to
vote and/or to exchange, at its sole discretion, any or all of the Collateral in
connection with a merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization or
other readjustment concerning or involving the Collateral or any Debtor or any
of its direct or indirect subsidiaries.
(iii) The
Secured Party shall have the right to assign, sell, lease or otherwise dispose
of and deliver all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale or
otherwise, either with or without special conditions or stipulations, for cash
or on credit or for future delivery, in such parcel or parcels and at such time
or times and at such place or places, and upon commercially reasonable terms and
conditions. Upon each such sale, lease, assignment or other transfer
of Collateral, the Secured Party, may, unless prohibited by applicable law which
cannot be waived, purchase all or any part of the Collateral being sold, free
from and discharged of all trusts, claims, right of redemption and equities of
any Debtor, which are hereby waived and released.
(iv) The
Secured Party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to notify any
account debtors and any obligors under instruments or accounts to make payments
directly to the Secured Party, and to enforce the Debtors’ rights against such
account debtors and obligors.
(v) The Secured
Party, may (but is not obligated to) direct any financial intermediary or any
other person or entity holding any investment property to transfer the same to
the Secured Party, or its designee.
(vi) The
Secured Party may (but is not obligated to) transfer any or all Intellectual
Property registered in the name of any Debtor at the United States Patent and
Trademark Office and/or Copyright Office into the name of the Secured Party or
any designee or any purchaser of any Collateral.
(b) The
Secured Party shall comply with any applicable law in connection with a
disposition of Collateral and such compliance will not be considered adversely
to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the
Collateral. The Secured Party may sell the Collateral without giving
any warranties and may specifically disclaim such warranties. In
addition, each Debtor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial
hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of the Secured Party’s rights and
remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, its right following an Event
of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its
rights and remedies with respect thereto.
(c) For the purpose of enabling the Secured
Party to further exercise rights and remedies under this Section 8 or elsewhere
provided by agreement or applicable law, each Debtor hereby grants to the
Secured Party, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment
of royalty or other compensation to such Debtor) to use, license or sublicense
following an Event of Default, any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter
acquired by such Debtor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in
such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be
recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the
compilation or printout thereof.
12
9. Applications of Proceeds. The
proceeds of any such sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral
hereunder or from payments made on account of any insurance policy insuring any
portion of the Collateral shall be applied first, to the expenses of retaking,
holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, and the like
(including, without limitation, any taxes, fees and other costs reasonably
incurred in connection therewith) of the Collateral, to the reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Secured Party in enforcing the
Secured Party’s rights hereunder and in connection with collecting, storing and
disposing of the Collateral, and then to satisfaction of the Obligations, and to
the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law, after which the
Secured Party shall pay to the applicable Debtor any surplus proceeds. If, upon
the sale, license or other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof
are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Party is legally
entitled, the Debtors will be liable for the deficiency, together with interest
thereon, at the rate of 24.99% per annum or the lesser amount permitted by
applicable law (the “Default Rate”), and
the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect
such deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each
Debtor waives all claims, damages and demands against the Secured Party arising
out of the repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral, unless
due solely to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Party as
determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of
competent jurisdiction.
10. Securities Law
Provision. Each Debtor recognizes that the Secured Party may
be limited in its ability to effect a sale to the public of all or part of the
Pledged Securities by reason of certain prohibitions in the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or other federal or state securities laws (collectively, the
“Securities
Laws”), and may be compelled to resort to one or more sales to a
restricted group of purchasers who may be required to agree to acquire the
Pledged Securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to
the distribution or resale thereof. Each Debtor agrees that sales so
made may be at prices and on terms less favorable than if the Pledged Securities
were sold to the public, and that the Secured Party has no obligation to delay
the sale of any Pledged Securities for the period of time necessary to register
the Pledged Securities for sale to the public under the Securities
Laws. Each Debtor shall cooperate with the Secured Party in its
reasonable attempt to satisfy any requirements under the Securities Laws
(including, without limitation, registration thereunder if reasonably requested
by the Secured Party) applicable to the sale of the Pledged Securities by the
Secured Party.
11. Costs and Expenses. Each
Debtor agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses
incurred in connection with any filing required hereunder, including without
limitation, any financing statements pursuant to the UCC, continuation
statements, partial releases and/or termination statements related thereto or
any expenses of any searches reasonably required by the Secured
Party. The Debtors shall also pay all other claims and charges which
would be reasonably likely to prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the
Collateral or the Security Interests therein. The Debtors will also,
upon demand, pay to the Secured Party the amount of any and all reasonable
expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any
experts and agents, which the Secured Party, may incur in connection with
(i) the enforcement of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or
the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral,
or (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Party
under the Notes and the other Transaction Documents. Until so paid, any fees
payable hereunder shall be added to the principal amount of the Notes and shall
bear interest at the Default Rate.
12. Responsibility for Collateral.
The Debtors assume all liabilities and responsibility in connection with all
Collateral, and the Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by
reason of the loss, destruction, damage or theft of any of the Collateral or its
unavailability for any reason. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, (a) in no event shall the Secured Party (i) have any duty (either
before or after an Event of Default) to collect any amounts in respect of the
Collateral or to preserve any rights relating to the Collateral, or (ii) have
any obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale, and (b)
each Debtor shall remain obligated and liable under each contract or agreement
included in the Collateral to be observed or performed by such Debtor
thereunder. The Secured Party shall not have any obligation or
liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of
this Agreement or the receipt by the Secured Party of any payment relating to
any of the Collateral, nor shall the Secured Party be obligated in any manner to
perform any of the obligations of any Debtor under or pursuant to any such
contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any
payment received by the Secured Party in respect of the Collateral or as to the
sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or
agreement, 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 the Secured Party or to which the Secured Party may be entitled at
any time or times. The Secured Party shall be entitled, in its sole
discretion, to abandon any and all Collateral and any and all records concerning
the Collateral or any Debtor’s business at any time regardless of whether it has
obtained possession thereof, without any liability or responsibility of any kind
or nature whatsoever to any Debtor.
13
13. Security Interests Absolute. All rights and all
obligations of the parties hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional,
irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement,
the Notes or any agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing, or any
portion hereof or thereof; (b) any change in the time, manner or place of
payment or performance of, or in any other term of, all or any of the
Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure
from the Notes or any other agreement entered into in connection with the
foregoing; (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any of the Collateral,
or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other
collateral for, or any guarantee, or any other security, for all or any of the
Obligations; (d) any action by the Secured Party to obtain, adjust, settle and
cancel in its reasonable discretion any insurance claims or matters made or
arising in connection with the Collateral; or (e) any other circumstance which
might otherwise constitute any legal or equitable defense available to a Debtor,
or a discharge of all or any part of the Security Interests granted
hereby. Until the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in
full, the rights of the Secured Party shall continue even if the Obligations are
barred for any reason, including, without limitation, the running of the statute
of limitations or bankruptcy. Each Debtor expressly waives
presentment, protest, notice of protest, demand, notice of nonpayment and demand
for performance. In the event that at any time any transfer of any
Collateral or any payment received by the Secured Party hereunder shall be
deemed by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a
voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under the bankruptcy or insolvency
laws of the United States, or shall be deemed to be otherwise due to any party
other than the Secured Party, then, in any such event and to the extent thereof,
each Debtor’s obligations hereunder shall survive cancellation of this
Agreement, and shall not be discharged or satisfied by any prior payment thereof
and/or cancellation of this Agreement, but shall remain a valid and binding
obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions
hereof. Each Debtor waives all right to require the Secured Party to
proceed against any other person or entity or to apply any Collateral which the
Secured Party may hold at any time, or to marshal assets, or to pursue any other
remedy.
14. Term of Agreement. This
Agreement and the Security Interests shall terminate on the date on which all
payments under the Notes have been indefeasibly paid or otherwise satisfied in
full (including by way of conversion of the Notes) and all other Obligations
have been paid or discharged (other than contingent indemnification
obligations).
15. Power of Attorney; Further
Assurances.
(a) Each
Debtor authorizes the Secured Party, and does hereby make, constitute and
appoint the Secured Party and its officers, agents, successors or assigns
with full power of substitution, as such Debtor’s true and lawful
attorney-in-fact, with power, in the name of the Secured Party or such Debtor,
to, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i)
endorse any note, checks, drafts, money orders or other instruments of payment
(including payments payable under or in respect of any policy of insurance) in
respect of the Collateral that may come into possession of the Secured Party;
(ii) to sign and endorse any financing statement pursuant to the UCC or any
invoice, freight or express xxxx, xxxx of lading, storage or warehouse receipts,
drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection
with accounts, and other documents relating to the Collateral; (iii) to pay or
discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time
levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; (iv) to demand,
collect, receipt for, compromise, settle and xxx for monies due in respect of
the Collateral; (v) to transfer any Intellectual Property or provide licenses
respecting any Intellectual Property; and (vi) generally, at the option of the
Secured Party, and at the expense of the Debtors, at any time, or from time to
time, to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments and to do all
acts and things which the Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve and
realize upon the Collateral and the Security Interests granted therein in order
to effect the intent of this Agreement and the Notes all as fully and
effectually as the Debtors might or could do; and each Debtor hereby ratifies
all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue
hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall
be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and thereafter as long as any of
the Obligations shall be outstanding. The designation set forth
herein shall be deemed to amend and supersede any inconsistent provision in the
Organizational Documents or other documents or agreements to which any Debtor is
subject or to which any Debtor is a party. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, the Secured Party is specifically authorized to execute and
file any applications for or instruments of transfer and assignment of any
patents, trademarks, copyrights or other Intellectual Property with the United
States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright
Office.
(b) On a
continuing basis, each Debtor will make, execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and
record, as the case may be, with the proper filing and recording agencies in any
jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the jurisdictions indicated on
Schedule C
attached hereto, all such instruments, and take all such action as may
reasonably be deemed necessary or advisable, or as reasonably requested by the
Secured Party, to perfect the Security Interests granted hereunder and otherwise
to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement, or for assuring and
confirming to the Secured Party the grant or perfection of a perfected security
interest in all the Collateral under the UCC.
(c) Each
Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints the Secured Party as such Debtor’s
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and instead of such Debtor
and in the name of such Debtor, from time to time in the Secured Party’s
discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Secured
Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement, including the filing, in its sole discretion, of one or more
financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of
the Collateral without the signature of such Debtor where permitted by law,
which financing statements may (but need not) describe the Collateral as “all
assets” or “all personal property” or words of like import, and ratifies all
such actions taken by the Secured Party. This power of attorney is
coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement
and thereafter as long as any of the Obligations shall be
outstanding.

17. Other Security. To the extent
that the Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the
Collateral or by the guarantee, endorsement or property of any other person,
firm, corporation or other entity, then the Secured Party shall have the right,
in its sole discretion, to pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take any
other action with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any
of the Secured Party’s rights and remedies hereunder.
18. Miscellaneous.
(a) No course
of dealing between the Debtors and the Secured Party, nor any failure to
exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Secured Party, any
right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Notes or any other Transaction
Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege.
(b) All of
the rights and remedies of the Secured Party with respect to the Collateral,
whether established hereby or by the Notes or any other Transaction Documents,
the Transaction Documents or by any other agreements, instruments or documents
or by law shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or
concurrently.
15
(c) This
Agreement, together with the exhibits and schedules hereto, the Notes, the
Transaction Documents and the related agreements contemplated hereby and thereby
contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or
written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been
merged into this Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto. No
provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended
except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the
Debtors and the Secured Party or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against
whom enforcement of any such waived provision is
sought.
(d) If any
term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the
remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein
shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired
or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable
efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or
substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the
intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms,
provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
(e) No waiver
of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this
Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of
any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or
requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any
right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such
right.
(f) This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and
their successors and permitted assigns. The Company and the
Guarantors may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of the Secured Party. The Secured
Party may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to
whom the Secured Party assigns or transfers any Securities, provided such
transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred
Securities, by the provisions of this Agreement that apply to the “Secured
Party.”
(g) Each
party shall take such further action and execute and deliver such further
documents as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the
provisions and purposes of this Agreement.
(h) All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation
of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance
with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the
principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each Debtor agrees that all
proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the
Notes (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates,
directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall
be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of
New York, Borough of Manhattan. Each Debtor hereby irrevocably submits to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of
New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or
in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed
herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any
proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of
any such court or that such proceeding is improper. Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being
served in any such proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or
certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party
at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that
such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice
thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right
to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereto
hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If any party
shall commence a proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement, then
the prevailing party in such proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party
for its reasonable attorney’s fees and other reasonable costs and expenses
incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such
proceeding.
16

member, as applicable, pursuant hereto.
(m) To the
