ARTICLE V REMEDIES

5.1 Code and Other Remedies.

(a) UCC Remedies. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral 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 any Secured Obligation, all rights and remedies of a Purchaser Party under the UCC or any other applicable law.

(b) Disposition of Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may, 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 the Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), during the continuance of any Event of Default (personally or through its agents or attorneys), (i) enter upon the premises where any Collateral is located, without any obligation to pay rent, through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving the Grantor or any other Person notice or opportunity for a hearing on the Collateral Agent’s claim or action, (ii) collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any Collateral and (iii) as further set forth herein, enter into transfers, sales, or other dispositions of, grant option or options to purchase and deliver, any Collateral (enter into any Contractual Obligation to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Purchaser Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions and times and locations 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.

- 15 -

(c) Regulated Sales. To the extent, and only to the extent, required by Regulation and prohibited by Regulation to be waived by the Grantor (which the Grantor hereby expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by Regulation), the Grantor agrees that ten (10) days’ written notice is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any transfer, sale or other dispositions of any Collateral. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to sell any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but none of the Collateral Agent or the other Purchaser Parties shall incur any Liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by Regulations, private) sale made in accordance with the Transaction Documents, the Collateral Agent and any other Purchaser Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by Regulation) from any right or equity of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of the Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any Obligation then due and payable to the Purchaser Parties (in the case of the Collateral Agent) or, as the case may be, such Purchaser Party from the Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and the Collateral Agent (or, as the case may be, such Purchaser Party) may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to the Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement, all Events of Default shall have been remedied and no Obligation shall remain outstanding. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.1 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

(d) Management of the Collateral. The Grantor further agrees, that, during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) at the Collateral Agent’s request, it shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places that the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at the Grantor’s premises or elsewhere, (ii) without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent also has the right to require that the Grantor store and keep any Collateral pending further action by the Collateral Agent 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 Collateral Agent is able to enter into an asset sale with respect to any Collateral, the Collateral Agent 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 Collateral Agent and (iv) the Collateral Agent 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 Collateral Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Purchaser Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. The Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation to the Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of the Grantor as against third parties with respect to any Collateral while such Collateral is in the possession of the Collateral Agent.

- 16 -

(e) Application of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent shall apply the cash proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.1, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Agent and any other Purchaser Party hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any Regulation, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Grantor.

(f) Direct Obligation. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Purchaser Party shall be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any right or remedy against, the Grantor, any other Purchaser Party or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any right or remedy with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guaranty thereof. All of the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and any other Purchaser Party under any Transaction Document shall be cumulative, may be exercised individually or concurrently and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by any Regulation. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Collateral Agent or any Collateral Agent, 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.

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

(i) fail to incur significant costs, expenses or other Liabilities reasonably deemed as such by the Collateral Agent 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;

(ii) fail to obtain Permits, or other consents, for access to any Collateral to dispose of, or for the collection of, any Collateral, or, if not required by other Regulations, 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 the Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring any such Collateral;

- 17 -

(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 Collateral Agent, obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Collateral Agent 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;

dispose of assets in private sales instead of, or through exchange or wholesale rather than, retail markets;

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

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

The Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 5.1 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 Purchaser Parties shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 5.1. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 5.1 shall be construed to grant any rights to the Grantor or to impose any duties on the Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable Regulations in the absence of this Section 5.1.

(h) IP Licenses. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 5.1 (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, enter into an asset sale with respect to, or grant options to purchase any Collateral) at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, the Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Purchaser Parties, (i) an irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantor), including in such license the right to sublicense, use and practice any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by the 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 and (ii) an irrevocable license (without payment of rent or other compensation to the Grantor) to use, operate and occupy all Real Property owned, operated, leased, subleased or otherwise occupied by the Grantor.

- 18 -

(i) Performance by the Collateral Agent or any other Purchaser Party. The Collateral Agent may, but is not obligated to, perform or attempt to perform any Contractual Obligation of the Grantor contained herein with or without prior written notice to the Grantor. If any material part of the Collateral becomes the subject of any Proceeding and the Grantor fails to defend fully such Proceeding and to protect the Grantor’s and Purchaser Parties’ rights in such Collateral in good faith, the Collateral Agent may, at its option but at Grantor’s cost, elect to defend and control the defense of such litigation or other proceeding, and may (i) select and retain counsel, (ii) determine whether settlement shall be offered or accepted, and (iii) determine and negotiate all settlement terms.

5.2 Accounts and Payments in Respect of General Intangibles.

(a) In addition to, and not in substitution for, any similar requirement in the Purchase Agreement, if required by the Collateral Agent at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payment of accounts or payment in respect of general intangibles, when collected by the Grantor, shall be promptly (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) deposited by the Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by the Grantor to the Collateral Agent, in a Collection Account, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 5.4. Until so turned over, such payment shall be held by the Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent, segregated from other funds of the 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:

(i) the Grantor shall, upon the Collateral Agent’s request, deliver to the Collateral Agent all original and other documentation evidencing, and relating to, the agreements, arrangements and transactions that gave rise to any account or any payment in respect of general intangibles, including all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts and notify account debtors that the accounts or general intangibles have been collaterally assigned to the Collateral Agent and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent;

(ii) the Collateral Agent may, without notice, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, limit or terminate the authority of the 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 Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any account or amounts due under any general intangible. In addition, the Collateral Agent may at any time enforce the Grantor’s rights against such account debtors and obligors of general intangibles; and

(iii) the Grantor shall take all actions, deliver all documentation and provide all information necessary or reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to ensure any Internet Domain Name is registered.

- 19 -

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the 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. No Purchaser 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 any Transaction Document or the receipt by any Purchaser Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall any Purchaser Party be obligated in any manner to perform any obligation of the 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.

5.3 Pledged Collateral.

(a) Voting Rights. During the continuance of an Event of Default, upon notice by the Collateral Agent to the Grantor, the Collateral Agent or its nominee may exercise (A) any voting, consent, corporate and other right pertaining to the Pledged Collateral at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, of the relevant issuer or issuers of Pledged Collateral or otherwise and (B) any right of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other right, privilege or option pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any Pledged Collateral upon the merger, amalgamation, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or 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 Collateral Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to the 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) Proxies. In order to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions that it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (i) the Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, the Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Collateral would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, calling special meetings of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other person (including the issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof) during the continuance of an Event of Default and which proxy shall remain in place as long as any Obligation shall remain outstanding.

- 20 -

(c) Authorization of Issuers. The Grantor hereby expressly irrevocably authorizes and instructs, without any further instructions from the Grantor, each issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by the Grantor to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that states that an Event of Default is continuing and is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Grantor agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected from Liabilities to the 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 Collateral Agent.

5.4 Proceeds to be Turned over to and Held by Collateral Agent. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement, all proceeds of any Collateral received by the Grantor hereunder in Cash, certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances, time and demand deposits and other similar cash equivalents shall be held by the Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Purchaser Parties, segregated from other funds of the Grantor, and shall, promptly upon receipt by the Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received (with any necessary endorsement). All such proceeds and other proceeds being held by the Collateral Agent (or by the Grantor in trust for the Collateral 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 Purchase Agreement.

5.5 Registration Rights.

(a) If, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, it is necessary or advisable to transfer any portion of the Pledged Collateral by registering such Pledged Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), the Grantor shall cause the issuer thereof to do or cause to be done all acts as may be, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, necessary or advisable to register such Pledged Collateral or that portion thereof to be transferred under the provisions of the Securities Act, all as directed by the Collateral Agent in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto and in compliance with the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any jurisdiction that the Collateral Agent shall designate.

(b) The Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state 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. The Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any 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.

- 21 -

(c) The 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 5.5 valid and binding and in compliance with all applicable Regulations. The Grantor further agrees that a breach of any covenant contained in this Section 5.5 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and other Purchaser Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the other Purchaser 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 the Grantor, and the Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Purchase Agreement.

5.6 Deficiency. The Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of any Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorney employed by the Collateral Agent or any other Purchaser Party to collect such deficiency.

The Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent, its Affiliates and their Related Parties, contractors and agents, at any time and from time to time, to file or record financing statements, amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documentation or instruments with respect to any Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and such financing statements and amendments may describe the Collateral covered thereby as “all assets of the debtor” or words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the applicable UCC, and contain any other information required pursuant to the UCC for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including, in the case of financing statements filed as fixture filings or indicating Collateral as as-extracted collateral or as otherwise required by applicable Regulation, a sufficient description of the Real Property related to the applicable Collateral. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording documentation or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. The Grantor also hereby ratifies its authorization for the Collateral Agent to have filed any initial financing statement or amendment thereto under the UCC (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction if filed prior to the date hereof.

6.3 Authority of Collateral Agent. The Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the other Purchaser Parties, be governed by the Purchase Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantor, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Purchaser 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.

6.4 Duty; Obligations and Liabilities. The Collateral 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 Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall be responsible to the Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. In addition, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehousemen, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other bailee if such Person has been selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith.

6.5 Obligations and Liabilities with respect to Collateral. No Purchaser Party and no Affiliate thereof shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any Collateral. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder shall not impose any duty upon any other Purchaser Party to exercise any such powers. The other Purchaser 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 respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

ARTICLE VII MISCELLANEOUS

7.1 Reinstatement. The Grantor agrees that, if any payment made by any Purchaser 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 any Purchaser Party to such Purchaser Party, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including the 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. If, prior to any of the foregoing, any Lien or other Collateral securing the Grantor’s liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of the foregoing or (b) any other provision of this Agreement 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 the Grantor in respect of any Lien or other Collateral securing such obligation or the amount of such payment.

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

7.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct. No Purchaser Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 7.4), 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 any Purchaser 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 any Purchaser Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that such Purchaser Party would otherwise have on any future occasion.

- 25 -

7.4 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Purchase Agreement; provided, that annexes to this Agreement may be supplemented (but no existing provisions may be modified and no Collateral may be released) through Pledge Amendments and Joinder Agreements, in substantially the form of Annex 1 and Annex 2, respectively, in each case duly executed by the Collateral Agent and the Grantor directly affected thereby.

7.5 Additional Grantors; Additional Pledged Collateral.

(a) Joinder Agreements. Consistent with Section 7.5 of the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall cause any Subsidiary that is not a Grantor to become a Grantor hereunder. Each such Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Annex 2 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.

(b) Pledge Amendments. To the extent any Pledged Collateral has not been delivered as of the Closing Date, the Grantor shall deliver a pledge amendment duly executed by the Grantor in substantially the form of Annex 1 (each, a “Pledge Amendment”). The Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement.

7.6 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or the Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 8.2 of the Purchase Agreement; provided, that any such notice, request or demand to or upon the Grantor shall be addressed to the Company’s notice address set forth in such Section 8.2.

7.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of each Purchaser Party and their successors and assigns; provided, that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.

7.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties 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. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or by e-mail shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

7.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement being held illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not affect any part of such provision not held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, any other provision of this Agreement or any part of such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.

- 26 -

7.10 Survival. All representations and warranties made by the Grantor in the Transaction Documents (including any such representation or warranty made in or in connection with any amendment thereto) shall constitute representations and warranties made under this Agreement. All representations and warranties made by the Grantor under this Agreement (including those representations and warranties set forth in the immediately preceding sentence) shall be made or deemed to be made at and as of the date hereof (except those that are expressly made as of a specific date), shall survive the date here and shall not be waived by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any borrowing hereunder. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the indemnities to which the Purchaser Parties are entitled under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Purchaser Parties against events arising after such termination as well as before. This Agreement shall be reinstated at any time any payment of any Secured Obligation, in whole or in part, is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Collateral Agent upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Grantor or other Company Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

7.11 [Reserved]

7.12 Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the grant of the security interest in the Collateral, and all obligations of the Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document or any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Transaction Documents or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement (other than payment of the outstanding Secured Obligations).

7.13 Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of Delaware.

- 27 -

7.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Regulations, any right that they may have to trial by jury of any claim or cause of action or in any Action, directly or indirectly based upon or arising out of this Agreement (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory). Each party (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other parties would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this section.
