In addition to and without limiting the foregoing, to the extent requested by the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time, each such policy shall in addition (A) name the Collateral Agent as an additional insured party and/or loss payee, as applicable, thereunder (without any representation or warranty by or obligation upon the Collateral Agent) as its interests may appear, (B) contain an agreement by the insurer that any loss thereunder shall be payable to the Collateral Agent on its own account notwithstanding any action, inaction or breach of representation or warranty by any Grantor, (C) provide that there shall be no recourse against the Collateral Agent for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto, and (D) provide that at least 30 days' prior written notice of cancellation, lapse, expiration or other adverse change shall be given to the Collateral Agent by the insurer. Any Grantor will, if so requested by the Collateral Agent, deliver to the Collateral Agent original or duplicate policies of such insurance and, as often as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, a report of a reputable insurance broker with respect to such insurance. Any Grantor will also, at the request of the Collateral Agent, execute and deliver instruments of assignment of such insurance policies and cause the respective insurers to acknowledge notice of such assignment.
11
(ii) Reimbursement under any liability insurance maintained by any Grantor
pursuant to this Section 5(e) may be paid directly to the Person who
shall have incurred liability covered by such insurance. In the case of any
loss involving damage to Equipment or Inventory, to the extent paragraph (iii)
of this Section 5(e) is not applicable, any proceeds of insurance maintained
by any Grantor pursuant to this Section 5(e) shall be paid to the Collateral
Agent, any Grantor will make or cause to be made the necessary repairs to or
replacements of such Equipment or Inventory, and any proceeds of insurance maintained
by any Grantor pursuant to this Section 5(e) (except as otherwise provided
in paragraph (iii) in this Section 5(e)) shall be paid by the Collateral
Agent to any Grantor as reimbursement for the costs of such repairs or replacements.
(iii) Following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all insurance
payments in respect of such Equipment or Inventory shall be paid to the Collateral
Agent and applied as specified in Section 7(b) hereof.
(f) Provisions Concerning the Accounts and the Licenses.
(i) Each Grantor will (A) give the Collateral Agent at least 30 days' prior written notice of any change in such Grantor's name, identity or organizational structure, (B) maintain its jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or formation as set forth in Schedule I hereto, (C) immediately notify the Collateral Agent upon obtaining an organizational identification number, if on the date hereof such Grantor did not have such identification number, and (D) keep adequate records concerning the Accounts and Chattel Paper and permit representatives of the Collateral Agent during normal business hours on reasonable notice to such Grantor, to inspect and make abstracts from such Records and Chattel Paper.
12
(ii) Each Grantor will (except as otherwise provided in this subsection (f)),
in accordance with Section 13(m) of each Note, continue to collect, at
its own expense, all amounts due or to become due under the Accounts. In connection
with such collections, any Grantor may (and, at the Collateral Agent's direction,
will) take such action as any Grantor or the Collateral Agent may deem necessary
or advisable to enforce collection or performance of the Accounts; provided,
however, that the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time,
to notify the account debtors or obligors under any Accounts of the assignment
of such Accounts to the Collateral Agent and to direct such account debtors
or obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to any Grantor
thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or its designated agent and, upon
such notification and at the expense of any Grantor and to the extent permitted
by law, to enforce collection of any such Accounts and to adjust, settle or
compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same
extent as any Grantor might have done. After receipt by any Grantor of a notice
from the Collateral Agent that the Collateral Agent has notified, intends to
notify, or has enforced or intends to enforce any Grantor's rights against the
account debtors or obligors under any Accounts as referred to in the proviso
to the immediately preceding sentence, (A) all amounts and proceeds (including
Instruments) received by any Grantor in respect of the Accounts shall be received
in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated
from other funds of any Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral
Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be
applied as specified in Section 7(b) hereof, and (B) no Grantor will
adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Account or release
wholly or partly any account debtor or obligor thereof or allow any credit or
discount thereon. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion)
direct any or all of the banks and financial institutions with which any Grantor
either maintains a Deposit Account or a lockbox or deposits the proceeds of
any Accounts to send immediately to the Collateral Agent by wire transfer (to
such account as the Collateral Agent shall specify, or in such other manner
as the Collateral Agent shall direct) all or a portion of such securities, cash,
investments and other items held by such institution. Any such securities, cash,
investments and other items so received by the Collateral Agent shall be applied
as specified in accordance with Section 7(b) hereof.
(iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any breach or default
under any material License referred to in Schedule II hereto by any party
thereto other than any Grantor, each Grantor party thereto will, promptly after
obtaining knowledge thereof, give the Collateral Agent written notice of the
nature and duration thereof, specifying what action, if any, it has taken and
proposes to take with respect thereto and thereafter will take reasonable steps
to protect and preserve its rights and remedies in respect of such breach or
default, or will obtain or acquire an appropriate substitute License.
(iv) Each Grantor will, at its expense, promptly deliver to the Collateral Agent a copy of each notice or other communication received by it by which any other party to any material License referred to in Schedule II hereto purports to exercise any of its rights or affect any of its obligations thereunder, together with a copy of any reply by such Grantor thereto.
13
(v) Each Grantor will exercise promptly and diligently each and every right
which it may have under each material License (other than any right of termination)
and will duly perform and observe in all respects all of its obligations under
each material License and will take all action reasonably necessary to maintain
such Licenses in full force and effect. No Grantor will, without the prior written
consent of the Collateral Agent, cancel, terminate, amend or otherwise modify
in any respect, or waive any provision of, any material License referred to
in Schedule II hereto.
(g) Transfers and Other Liens.
(i) Except as expressly permitted in Section 13(f) of the Notes, no
Grantor will sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise), lease, license,
exchange or otherwise transfer or dispose of any of the Collateral, except (A)
Inventory in the ordinary course of business, and (B) worn out or obsolete assets,
not necessary to the business.
(ii) No Grantor will create, suffer to exist or grant any Lien upon or with
respect to any Collateral other than a Permitted Lien.
(h) Intellectual Property.
(i) If applicable, any Grantor shall, upon the Collateral Agent's written request, duly execute and deliver the applicable Assignment for Security in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Each Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will, and will cause each licensee thereof to, take all action necessary to maintain all of the Intellectual Property in full force and effect, including, without limitation, using the proper statutory notices and markings and using the Trademarks on each applicable trademark class of goods in order to so maintain the Trademarks in full force and free from any claim of abandonment for non-use, and each Grantor will not (nor permit any licensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any Intellectual Property may become invalidated; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Grantor shall have an obligation to use or to maintain any Intellectual Property (A) that relates solely to any product or work, that has been, or is in the process of being, discontinued, abandoned or terminated, (B) that is being replaced with Intellectual Property substantially similar to the Intellectual Property that may be abandoned or otherwise become invalid, so long as the failure to use or maintain such Intellectual Property does not materially adversely affect the validity of such replacement Intellectual Property and so long as such replacement Intellectual Property is subject to the Lien created by this Agreement or (C) that is substantially the same as another Intellectual Property that is in full force, so long the failure to use or maintain such Intellectual Property does not materially adversely affect the validity of such replacement Intellectual Property and so long as such other Intellectual Property is subject to the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement. Each Grantor will cause to be taken all necessary steps in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or political subdivision thereof to maintain each registration of the Intellectual Property (other than the Intellectual Property described in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence), including, without limitation, filing of renewals, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings and payment of maintenance fees, filing fees, taxes or other governmental fees. If any Intellectual Property (other than Intellectual Property described in the proviso to the second sentence of subsection (i) of this clause (h)) is infringed, misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated in any material respect by a third party, each Grantor shall (x) upon learning of such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation, promptly notify the Collateral Agent and (y) promptly xxx for infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation, seek injunctive relief where appropriate and recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation, or take such other actions as such Grantor shall deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property. Each Grantor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time upon its request statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Intellectual Property and Licenses and such other reports in connection with the Intellectual Property and Licenses as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail and promptly upon request of the Collateral Agent, following receipt by the Collateral Agent of any such statements, schedules or reports, each Grantor shall modify this Agreement by amending Schedule II hereto, as the case may be, to include any Intellectual Property and License, as the case may be, which becomes part of the Collateral under this Agreement and shall execute and authenticate such documents and do such acts as shall be necessary or, in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Agent, desirable to subject such Intellectual Property and Licenses to the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no Grantor may abandon or otherwise permit any Intellectual Property to become invalid without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, and if any Intellectual Property is infringed, misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated in any material respect by a third party, each Grantor will take such action as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property.
14
(ii) In no event shall any Grantor, either itself or through any agent, employee,
licensee or designee, file an application for the registration of any Trademark
or Copyright or the issuance of any Patent with the United States Patent and
Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, or in
any similar office or agency of the United States or any country or any political
subdivision thereof unless it gives the Collateral Agent prior written notice
thereof. Upon request of the Collateral Agent, any Grantor shall execute, authenticate
and deliver any and all assignments, agreements, instruments, documents and
papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Collateral
Agent's security interest hereunder in such Intellectual Property and the General
Intangibles of any Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby, and each
Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact to execute
and/or authenticate and file all such writings for the foregoing purposes, all
acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed, and such power (being
coupled with an interest) shall be irrevocable until the indefeasible payment
in full in cash of all of the Obligations in full.
(i) Deposit, Commodities and Securities Accounts. (a) Each Grantor shall cause each bank and other financial institution with an account referred to in Schedule IV hereto to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a Controlled Account Agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, duly executed by each Grantor and such bank or financial institution, or enter into other arrangements in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, pursuant to which such institution shall irrevocably agree, inter alia, subject to Section 15(m) of each Note with respect to each Deposit Account, that (i) it will comply at any time with the instructions originated by the Collateral Agent to such bank or financial institution directing the disposition of cash, Commodity Contracts, securities, Investment Property and other items from time to time credited to such account, without further consent of each Grantor, (ii) all Commodity Contracts, securities, Investment Property and other items of each Grantor deposited with such institution shall be subject to a perfected, first priority security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, (iii) any right of set off (other than recoupment of standard fees), banker's Lien or other similar Lien, security interest or encumbrance shall be fully waived as against the Collateral Agent, and (iv) upon receipt of written notice from the Collateral Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default, such bank or financial institution shall immediately send to the Collateral Agent by wire transfer (to such account as the Collateral Agent shall specify, or in such other manner as the Collateral Agent shall direct) all such cash, the value of any Commodity Contracts, securities, Investment Property and other items held by it. Without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall not make or maintain any Deposit Account, Commodity Account or Securities Account except for the accounts set forth in Schedule IV hereto.
15
(b) Upon receipt of each Cash and Receivables Report from Company, Collateral
Agent shall, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (as
evidenced by such Cash and Receivables Report) or could reasonably be expected
to result therefrom, promptly cause an amount equal to the Cash Release Amount
set forth on such Cash and Receivables Report to be transferred from the Collection
Account (or from such other Deposit Account subject to a Controlled Account
Agreement as directed by Company in writing, but, in any case, solely to the
extent of cash availability therein) to the Operating Account (or to such other
Deposit Account subject to a Controlled Account Agreement as directed by Company
in writing); provided that, after giving effect to each such transfer, the Lockbox,
Cash & Receivables Balance shall exceed the Adjusted Note Obligations (as
defined in the Notes and as reported to Collateral Agent by Company and Buyers)
as of such date.
(j) Motor Vehicles.
(i) Upon the Collateral Agent's written request, each Grantor shall deliver
to the Collateral Agent originals of the certificates of title or ownership
for all motor vehicles with a value in excess of $10,000, owned by it with the
Collateral Agent listed as lienholder, for the benefit of the Buyers.
(ii) Each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact, effective the date hereof and terminating upon the termination of this Agreement, for the purpose of (A) executing on behalf of such Grantor title or ownership applications for filing with appropriate state agencies to enable motor vehicles now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor to be retitled and the Collateral Agent listed as lienholder thereof, (B) filing such applications with such state agencies, and (C) executing such other documents and instruments on behalf of, and taking such other action in the name of, such Grantor as the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof (including, without limitation, for the purpose of creating in favor of the Collateral Agent a perfected Lien on the motor vehicles and exercising the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder). This appointment as attorney-in-fact is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) are indefeasibly paid in full in cash.
16
(iii) Any certificates of title or ownership delivered pursuant to the terms
hereof shall be accompanied by odometer statements for each motor vehicle covered
thereby.
(iv) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
upon the request of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver
to any Grantor such instruments as any Grantor shall reasonably request to remove
the notation of the Collateral Agent as lienholder on any certificate of title
for any motor vehicle; provided, however, that any such instruments
shall be delivered, and the release effective, only upon receipt by the Collateral
Agent of a certificate from any Grantor stating that such motor vehicle is to
be sold or has suffered a casualty loss (with title thereto in such case passing
to the casualty insurance company therefor in settlement of the claim for such
loss) and the amount that any Grantor will receive as sale proceeds or insurance
proceeds. Any proceeds of such sale or casualty loss shall be paid to the Collateral
Agent hereunder immediately upon receipt, to be applied to the Obligations then
outstanding.
(k) Control. Each Grantor hereby agrees to take any or all action that
may be necessary or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order
for the Collateral Agent to obtain control in accordance with Sections 9-105
- 9-107 of the Code with respect to the following Collateral: (i) Electronic
Chattel Paper, (ii) Investment Property, and (iii) Letter-of-Credit Rights.
(l) Inspection and Reporting. Each Grantor shall permit the Collateral
Agent, or any agent or representatives thereof or such professionals or other
Persons as the Collateral Agent may designate (at Grantors' sole cost and expense)
(i) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from any Grantor's records and
books of account, (ii) to visit and inspect its properties, (iii) to verify
materials, leases, Instruments, Accounts, Inventory and other assets of any
Grantor from time to time, (iii) to conduct audits, physical counts, appraisals
and/or valuations, examinations at the locations of any Grantor. Each Grantor
shall also permit the Collateral Agent, or any agent or representatives thereof
or such professionals or other Persons as the Collateral Agent may designate
to discuss such Grantor's affairs, finances and accounts with any of its directors,
officers, managerial employees, independent accountants or any of its other
representatives.
(m) Future Subsidiaries. If any Grantor shall hereafter create or acquire any Subsidiary (other than a Foreign Subsidiary), simultaneously with the creation or acquisition of such Subsidiary, such Grantor shall (i) cause such Subsidiary to become a party to this Agreement as an additional "Grantor" hereunder, (ii) deliver to Collateral Agent revised Schedules to this Agreement, as appropriate, (iii) cause such Subsidiary to duly execute and deliver a guaranty of the Obligations in favor of the Collateral Agent in form and substance acceptable to the Collateral Agent, and (iv) duly execute and/or cause to be delivered such opinions of counsel and other documents, in form and substance acceptable to the Collateral Agent, as the Collateral Agent shall request with respect thereto.
17
SECTION 6. Additional Provisions Concerning the Collateral.
(a) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and for the purpose
of taking any action that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable
to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, each Grantor hereby (i) authorizes
the Collateral Agent to execute any such agreements, instruments or other documents
in such Grantor's name and to file such agreements, instruments or other documents
in such Grantor's name and in any appropriate filing office, (ii) authorizes
the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time to file, one or more
financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to the
Collateral (including, without limitation, any such financing statements that
(A) describe the Collateral as "all assets" or "all personal
property" (or words of similar effect) or that describe or identify the
Collateral by type or in any other manner as the Collateral Agent may determine
regardless of whether any particular asset of such Grantor falls within the
scope of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or whether any particular
asset of such Grantor constitutes part of the Collateral, and (B) contain any
other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the Code for the sufficiency
or filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement
or amendment, including, without limitation, whether such Grantor is an organization,
the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued
to such Grantor) and (iii) ratifies such authorization to the extent that the
Collateral Agent has filed any such financing or continuation statements, or
amendments thereto, prior to the date hereof. A photocopy or other reproduction
of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any
part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by
law.
(b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact
and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in
the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent's
discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Collateral
Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes
of this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) to obtain and adjust insurance
required to be paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 5(e)
hereof, (ii) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and
give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect
of any Collateral, (iii) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other
instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (i) or (ii)
above, (iv) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings
which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection
of any Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent
and the Buyers with respect to any Collateral, (v) to execute assignments, licenses
and other documents to enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Buyers
with respect to any Collateral and (vi) to verify any and all information with
respect to any and all Accounts. This power is coupled with an interest and
is irrevocable until all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification
obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) are indefeasibly paid in
full in cash.
(c) For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies hereunder, at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor) to use, assign, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement that limit the right of any Grantor to dispose of its property, and Section 5(g) and Section 5(h) hereof, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Grantor may exploit, use, enjoy, protect, license, sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or take other actions with respect to the Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of its business. In furtherance of the foregoing, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall from time to time, upon the request of any Grantor, execute and deliver any instruments, certificates or other documents, in the form so requested, which such Grantor shall have certified are appropriate (in such Grantor's judgment) to allow it to take any action permitted above (including relinquishment of the license provided pursuant to this clause (c) as to any Intellectual Property). Further, upon the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations, the Collateral Agent (subject to Section 10(e) hereof) shall release and reassign to any Grantor all of the Collateral Agent's right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property, and the Licenses, all without recourse, representation or warranty whatsoever. The exercise of rights and remedies hereunder by the Collateral Agent shall not terminate the rights of the holders of any licenses or sublicenses theretofore granted by each Grantor in accordance with the second sentence of this clause (c). Each Grantor hereby releases the Collateral Agent from any claims, causes of action and demands at any time arising out of or with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent under the powers of attorney granted herein other than actions taken or omitted to be taken through the Collateral Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction.
18
(d) If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein,
the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement
or obligation, in the name of such Grantor or the Collateral Agent, and the
expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable
by such Grantor pursuant to Section 8 hereof and shall be secured by
the Collateral.
(e) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect
its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise
any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession
and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral
Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary
steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining
to any Collateral.
(f) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding (i) each Grantor shall remain liable under the Licenses and otherwise with respect to any of the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its obligations under the Licenses or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, and (iii) the Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation or liability by reason of this Agreement under the Licenses or with respect to any of the other Collateral, nor shall the Collateral Agent be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.
19
SECTION 7. Remedies Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing:
(a) The Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) take absolute control of the Collateral, including, without limitation, transfer into the Collateral Agent's name or into the name of its nominee or nominees (to the extent the Collateral Agent has not theretofore done so) and thereafter receive, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, all payments made thereon, give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof, (ii) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of its respective Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place or places to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, and the Collateral Agent may enter into and occupy any premises owned or leased by any Grantor where the Collateral or any part thereof is located or assembled for a reasonable period in order to effectuate the Collateral Agent's rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to any Grantor in respect of such occupation, and (iii) without notice except as specified below and without any obligation to prepare or process the Collateral for sale, (A) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale (including, without limitation, by credit bid), at any of the Collateral Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable and/or (B) lease, license or dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof upon such terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or any other disposition of its respective Collateral shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days' notice to any Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of its respective Collateral is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of any Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent and the Buyers arising by reason of the fact that the price at which its respective Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree, and waives all rights that any Grantor may have to require that all or any part of such Collateral be marshaled upon any sale (public or private) thereof. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that (i) any such sale of its respective Collateral by the Collateral Agent shall be made without warranty, (ii) the Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment or the like, and (iii) such actions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any such sale of Collateral. In addition to the foregoing, (1) upon written notice to any Grantor from the Collateral Agent after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Grantor shall cease any use of the Intellectual Property or any trademark, patent or copyright similar thereto for any purpose described in such notice; (2) the Collateral Agent may, at any time and from time to time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon 10 days' prior notice to such Grantor, license, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any of the Intellectual Property, throughout the universe for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (3) the Collateral Agent may, at any time, pursuant to the authority granted in Section 6 hereof or otherwise (such authority being effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), execute and deliver on behalf of such Grantor, one or more instruments of assignment of the Intellectual Property (or any application or registration thereof), in form suitable for filing, recording or registration in any country.
20
(b) Any cash held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral and all Cash Proceeds
received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of or collection from,
or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied
(after payment of any amounts payable to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section
8 hereof) by the Collateral Agent against, all or any part of the Obligations
in such order as the Collateral Agent shall elect, consistent with the provisions
of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Any surplus of such cash or Cash Proceeds
held by the Collateral Agent and remaining after the indefeasible payment in
full in cash of all of the Obligations shall be paid over to whomsoever shall
be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction
shall direct.
(c) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization
are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Collateral Agent and the Buyers
are legally entitled, each Grantor shall be liable for the deficiency, together
with interest thereon at the highest rate specified in the Notes for interest
on overdue principal thereof or such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable
law, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees, costs, expenses
and other client charges of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to
collect such deficiency.
(d) Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that if the Collateral Agent complies
with any applicable state, provincial, or federal law requirements in connection
with a disposition of the Collateral, such compliance will not adversely affect
the commercial reasonableness of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral.
(e) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including, but not limited to, this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of the Collateral Agent's rights hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that any Grantor lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent's rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
21
SECTION 8. Indemnity and Expenses.
(a) Each Grantor agrees, jointly and severally, to defend, protect, indemnify
and hold the Collateral Agent and each of the Buyers, jointly and severally,
harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities,
obligations, penalties, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable legal fees, costs, expenses, and disbursements of such Person's counsel)
to the extent that they arise out of or otherwise result from this Agreement
(including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the
extent resulting from such Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct,
as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) Each Grantor agrees, jointly and severally, to pay to the Collateral Agent
upon demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable
fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent
and of any experts and agents (including, without limitation, any collateral
trustee which may act as agent of the Collateral Agent), which the Collateral
Agent may incur in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution,
delivery, recordation, administration, amendment, waiver or other modification
or termination of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation
of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any Collateral,
(iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent
hereunder, or (iv) the failure by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the
provisions hereof.
SECTION 9. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided
for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed (by certified mail, postage
prepaid and return receipt requested), telecopied, e-mailed or delivered, if
to any Grantor that is a Foreign Subsidiary at the address of the Company, if
to any Grantor that is not a Foreign Subsidiary at its address specified on
the signature pages below and if to the Collateral Agent to it, at its address
specified on the signature pages below; or as to any such Person, at such other
address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice to all other
parties hereto complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 9.
All such notices and other communications shall be effective (a) if sent by
certified mail, return receipt requested, when received or three days after
deposited in the mails, whichever occurs first, (b) if telecopied or e-mailed,
when transmitted (during normal business hours) and confirmation is received,
and otherwise, the day after the notice or communication was transmitted and

SECTION 10. Miscellaneous.
(a) No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by each Grantor and the Collateral Agent, and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by each Grantor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by each Grantor and the Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
22
(b) No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, and no delay
in exercising, any right hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents
shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise
of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent or any Buyer
provided herein and in the other Transaction Documents are cumulative and are
in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law.
The rights of the Collateral Agent or any Buyer under any of the other Transaction
Documents against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any
attempt by such Person to exercise any of its rights under any of the other
Transaction Documents against such party or against any other Person, including
but not limited to, any Grantor.
(c) Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent
of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions
hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision
in any other jurisdiction.
(d) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral
and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment
in full in cash of the Obligations, and (ii) be binding on each Grantor and
all other Persons who become bound as debtor to this Agreement in accordance
with Section 9-203(d) of the Code and shall inure, together with all rights
and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the Buyers hereunder, to the benefit
of the Collateral Agent and the Buyers and their respective permitted successors,
transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the
immediately preceding sentence, without notice to any Grantor, the Collateral
Agent and the Buyers may assign or otherwise transfer their rights and obligations
under this Agreement and any of the other Transaction Documents, to any other
Person and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits
in respect thereof granted to the Collateral Agent and the Buyers herein or
otherwise. Upon any such assignment or transfer, all references in this Agreement
to the Collateral Agent or any such Buyer shall mean the assignee of the Collateral
Agent or such Buyer. None of the rights or obligations of any Grantor hereunder
may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of
the Collateral Agent, and any such assignment or transfer without the consent
of the Collateral Agent shall be null and void.
(e) Upon the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations, (i) this
Agreement and the security interests created hereby shall terminate and all
rights to the Collateral shall revert to the respective Grantor that granted
such security interests hereunder, and (ii) the Collateral Agent will, upon
any Grantor's request and at such Grantor's expense, (A) return to such Grantor
such of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of
or applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and (B) execute and deliver to such
Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence
such termination, all without any representation, warranty or recourse whatsoever.
(f) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF LAW AND EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY AND PERFECTION OR THE PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR NON-PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST CREATED HEREBY, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT

AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT,

mail), postage prepaid, to any Grantor at its address provided herein, such
service to become effective 10 days after such mailing.

Notice of Potential Patent Claim
In June 2007, the Company received a letter from Wi-LAN, Inc., claiming that
certain of the Company's wireless LAN products infringe on two U.S. and one
Canadian patent held by Wi-LAN, Inc. In October 2007, Wi-LAN, Inc. filed patent
infringement lawsuits against a number of companies alleging that those companies
infringe the two U.S. patents by manufacturing, using, or offering for sale
products with wireless capability compliant with the IEEE 802.11 standards.
Wi-LAN, Inc. is asking for money damages and a court order barring the sale
of products that use the patented technology. The Company was not named in the
lawsuit.
