Section

Company that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall
remain liable under each of its Contracts and each of its Licenses to observe
and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by
it thereunder. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured

of any payment relating to any Contract or License pursuant

the Collateral Agent, the Company shall so notify Account Debtors and other
Persons obligated on Collateral. Once any such notice has been given
to any Account Debtor or other Person obligated on the Collateral, the Company
shall not give any contrary instructions to such Account Debtor or other Person
without the Collateral Agent’s prior written consent.
(c) The
Collateral Agent may at any time in the Collateral Agent’s own name, in the name
of a nominee of the Collateral Agent or in the name of the Company communicate
with Account Debtors, parties to Contracts and obligors in respect of

the existence, amount and terms of, and any other matter relating to, Accounts,
payment intangibles, Instruments or Chattel Paper.

Section
4. Covenants. The Company
covenants and agrees with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, that from and after the date of this Security Agreement and until the
Termination Date:
(a) Further Assurances: Pledge
of Instruments; Chattel Paper.
(i) At
any time and from time to time (including upon any written request of the
Collateral Agent), at the sole expense of the Company, the Company shall
promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments and
documents and take such further actions reasonably requested by the Collateral
Agent as may be necessary to obtain the full benefits of this Security Agreement
and of the rights and powers herein granted, including (A) using all
reasonable efforts to secure all consents and approvals necessary or appropriate
for the assignment to or for the benefit of the Collateral Agent of any License
or Contract held by the Company; (B) using all reasonable efforts to secure all
consents and approvals necessary or appropriate to enforce the security
interests granted hereunder; and (C) filing any financing or continuation
statements under the Code with respect to the Liens granted hereunder as to
those jurisdictions that are not Uniform Commercial Code
jurisdictions.
(ii) The
Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes the Collateral Agent
at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any Uniform
Commercial Code jurisdiction any initial financing statements and amendments
thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets of the Company or
words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in
the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Code or such
jurisdiction, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater
detail, 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

financing statement naming the Collateral Agent or its designee as the secured
party and the Company as debtor includes assets and properties of the Company
that do not at any time constitute Collateral, whether hereunder, under any of
the other Note Documents or otherwise, the filing of such financing statement
shall nonetheless be deemed authorized by the Company to the extent of the
Collateral included in such description and it shall not render the financing
statement ineffective as to any of the Collateral or otherwise affect the
financing statement as it applies to any of the Collateral. In no
event shall the Company at any time file, or permit or cause to be filed, any

debtor.

no event shall the Company, either itself or through any agent, employee,
licensee or designee, file an application for the registration of any Patent,
Trademark or Copyright with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the

the Collateral Agent prior written notice thereof, and, upon request of the
Collateral Agent, the Company shall execute and deliver any and all applicable
Intellectual Property Security Agreements as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s Lien on such Patent, Trademark or
Copyright, and the General Intangibles of the Company relating thereto or
represented thereby.

any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Collateral Agent or any other
Secured Party relating to any Collateral for any sum owing with respect thereto
or to enforce any rights or claims with respect thereto, the Company will save,
indemnify and keep the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless
from and against all expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses), loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the Account
Debtor or other Person obligated on the Collateral, arising out of a breach by
the Company of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement,
indebtedness or liability at any time owing to, or in favor of, such obligor or
its successors from the Company, except in the case of the Collateral Agent or
any other Secured Party, to the extent such expense, loss, or damage is
attributable solely to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of or by the
Collateral Agent or such Secured Party as finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction. All such obligations of the Company shall be and remain
enforceable against and only against the Company and shall not be enforceable
against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party.

Holders.

Collateral. The Company will, if so requested by the
Collateral Agent, furnish to the Collateral Agent, as often as the Collateral
Agent reasonably requests, statements and schedules further identifying and
describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the
Collateral as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in such detail as
the Collateral Agent may reasonably specify.
8
(i) Notices. The
Company will advise the Collateral Agent promptly, in reasonable detail, (i) of
any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) or written claim made or asserted against
any of the Collateral, and (ii) of the occurrence of any other event which could
have a material adverse effect on the aggregate value of the Collateral or on
the Liens created hereunder.
(j) No Reincorporation; No Name
Change. The Company shall not reincorporate or reorganize
itself under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the jurisdiction in which
it is incorporated or organized as of the date hereof without the prior written
consent of the Collateral Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The Company shall not change its legal name without first
giving 30 days prior written notice of its intent to do so to the Collateral
Agent.
(k) Terminations; Amendments Not
Authorized. The Company acknowledges that it is not authorized
to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with

policies of insurance on all Collateral against risks of fire (with customary
extended coverage), sprinkler leakage, theft, loss or damage and other risks as
the Collateral Agent may reasonably require and in any event, whether or not
Collateral Agent shall so require, against such other risks customarily insured
against by companies engaged in businesses similar to that of the Company in
such amounts containing such terms, in such form, for such periods, covering
such hazards and written by such financially sound companies selected by the
Company and as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (it being
understood that the Collateral Agent shall not by such approval or disapproval
be liable to the Company or any other person in connection with the financial
condition of such insurer), such insurance to be payable to the Collateral Agent
as its interest may appear in the event of loss; if requested by the Collateral
Agent the policies for the same shall be deposited with the Collateral Agent; no
loss shall be adjusted thereunder without the Collateral Agent’s approval which
approval will not be unreasonably withheld; and the Company shall cause all such
policies to provide that they may not be modified or canceled without first
giving at least thirty (30) days written notice of such modification or
cancellation to the Collateral Agent. In the event that the Company
fails to provide evidence of the maintenance of such insurance satisfactory to
the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may, at its option, secure such
insurance and charge the cost thereof to the Company (as a Secured Obligation).
The Company shall also maintain casualty insurance coverage and other insurance
coverage on its properties and business including the Collateral naming the
Collateral Agent as loss payee with an endorsement reasonably satisfactory to
the Collateral Agent, in amounts and types and with provisions as are usually

insurance carriers.

Section
5. Collateral Agent’s
Appointment As Attorney-in-Fact. The Company shall execute and
deliver to the Collateral Agent a power of attorney (the “Power of
Attorney”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
A. The power of attorney granted pursuant to the Power of Attorney is
a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Termination
Date. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent, for the benefit
of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, under the Power of Attorney are
solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s interests (for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties) in the Collateral and shall not impose
any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any Secured Parties to exercise any such
powers. The Collateral Agent agrees that (a) except for the powers
granted in clause (h) of the Power of Attorney, it shall not exercise any power
or authority granted under the Power of Attorney unless an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, and (b) the Collateral Agent shall promptly account
for, and notify the Company of, any moneys received by the Collateral Agent in
respect of any foreclosure on or disposition of Collateral pursuant to the Power
of Attorney provided that none of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured
Party shall have any duty as to any Collateral, and the Collateral Agent and the
other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually
receive as a result of the exercise of such powers. NONE OF THE
COLLATERAL AGENT, THE SECURED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS,
DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO THE
COMPANY FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR OTHERWISE,
EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE
OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT

Section
6. Remedies: Rights
Upon Default. (a) In addition to all
other rights and remedies granted to it under this Security Agreement, the Unit
Notes, the Subscription Agreements and under any other instrument or agreement
securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Secured Obligations, if any Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may (or,
if so directed by the Required Holders, shall) exercise all rights and remedies
of a secured party under the Code. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Company expressly agrees that in any such event the
Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement
or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of
public or private sale) to or upon the Company or any other Person (all and each
of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the
maximum extent permitted by the Code and other applicable law), may forthwith
enter upon the premises of the Company where any Collateral is located through
self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or
giving the Company or any other Person notice and opportunity for a hearing on
the Collateral Agent’s claim or action and may collect, receive, assemble,
process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and
may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give an option or options to
purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or
contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at a public or
private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices as it may deem acceptable,
for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit
risk. The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party shall have the
right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law,
upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, the whole or any part of said
Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of
redemption the Company hereby releases. Such sales may be adjourned
and continued from time to time with or without notice. The
Collateral Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on the Company’s
premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use the Company’s premises
without charge for such time or times as the Collateral Agent deems necessary or
advisable.
10
If any
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company further
agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make
it available to the Collateral Agent at a place or places designated by the
Collateral Agent which are reasonably convenient to the Collateral Agent and the
Company, whether at the Company’s premises or elsewhere. Until the
Collateral Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of
Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral,
or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of
preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate
by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall have no
obligation to the Company to maintain or preserve the rights of the Company as
against third parties with respect to Collateral while Collateral is in the
possession of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may, if it
so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of
Collateral and to enforce any of the Collateral Agent’s remedies (for the
benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties), with respect to
such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such
appointment. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any
such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale to the
Secured Obligations as provided in the Note Documents, and only after so paying
over such net proceeds, and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any
other amount required by any provision of law, need the Collateral Agent account
for the surplus, if any, to the Company. To the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, the Company waives all claims, damages, and demands
against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the
repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise solely
out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent or
such other Secured Party as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction. The Company agrees that ten (10) days prior notice by
the Collateral Agent of the time and place of any public sale or of the time
after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such
matters. The Company shall remain liable for any deficiency if the
proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay
all Secured Obligations, including any attorneys’ fees and other expenses
incurred by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such
deficiency.
(b) Except
as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Company hereby waives
presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any
Collateral.
11
(c) To
the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Collateral Agent to
exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Company acknowledges
and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent (i)
to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Collateral Agent
to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or
work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition,
(ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be
disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain
governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of
Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection
remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to
remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise
collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on
Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other
collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through
publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is
of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the
same business as the Company, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or
any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional
auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the
Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by
utilizing 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, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale
rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as
title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit
enhancements to insure the Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or
disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Collateral Agent a guaranteed
return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent
deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of other
brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the
Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the
Collateral. The Company acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 6(c) is to
provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the
Collateral Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the Collateral
Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or
omissions by the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable
solely on account of not being indicated in this Section
6(c). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained
in this Section
6(c) shall be construed to grant any rights to the Company or to impose
any duties on the Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed
by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section
6(c).
(d) Neither
the Collateral Agent nor the other Secured Parties shall be required to make any
demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, the
Company, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect
to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their
rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or
indirect guarantee thereof. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the
other Secured Parties shall be required to marshal the Collateral or any
guarantee of the Secured Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such
guarantee in any particular order, and all of its and their rights hereunder or
under any other Note Document shall be cumulative. To the extent it
may lawfully do so, the Company absolutely and irrevocably waives and
relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against
the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, 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 which, but for this
provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the
judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale
conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise.
12
(e) Without
limiting the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default and upon written notice thereof to the Company, all rights of
the Company to exercise any voting or consensual powers with respect to any
Equity Interests in which the Company has an interest and to receive and retain
the distributions which it would otherwise be entitled to receive and retain
shall terminate and all such powers and rights to receive and retain such
distributions shall immediately without further action become vested in the
Collateral Agent.
Section
7. Grant Of License To Use
Intellectual Property Collateral. For the purpose
of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 6 hereof
(including, without limiting the terms of Section 6 hereof, in
order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for
sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral) at such time as
the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and
remedies, the Company hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of
the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive
license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the
Company) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or
hereafter acquired by the Company, 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.
Section
8. Indemnity; Expenses;
Limitation On Collateral Agent’s And Secured Parties’ Duty In Respect Of
Collateral. (a) The Company shall
indemnify and hold the Collateral Agent, the Secured Parties, their respective
Affiliates, and each of their directors, officers, agents and employees
(collectively, the “Indemnified
Persons”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
charges, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at
any time following repayment of the Unit Notes and the termination, resignation
or replacement of the Collateral Agent or any assignment by any Secured Party)
be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnified Person in
any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with the execution,
delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of this Security Agreement,
the Unit Notes, the Subscription Agreements, the other Note Documents or any
other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby or the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby or any actual or prospective claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation
for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or
proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto
(all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified
Liabilities”), in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in
whole or in part, out of the negligence of any Indemnified Person; provided that
such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Person, be available to the
extent that such Indemnified Liabilities are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified
Person. In the case of an investigation, litigation or
other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 8 applies,
such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation
or proceeding is brought by the Company, its directors, shareholders or
creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not an
Indemnified Person is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the
transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Note Documents are
consummated. All amounts due under this Section 8 shall be
payable within five Business Days after demand therefor. The
agreements in this Section 8 shall
survive the resignation of the Collateral Agent, the assignment by any Secured
Party and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Secured
Obligations. In the event that any investigation, litigation or
proceeding is asserted or threatened in writing or instituted against any
Indemnified Person, or any remedial, removal or response action which is
requested of it or any other Indemnified Person, for which such Indemnified
Person may desire indemnity or defense hereunder, such Indemnified Person shall
notify the Company in writing of such event; provided that failure to so notify
the Company shall not affect the right of any Indemnified Person to seek
indemnification under this Section
8.
13
(b) The
Company will pay to the Collateral Agent within five Business Days after demand
the amount of any and all reasonable, documented expenses, including, without
limitation, the fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents,
that the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of
this Security Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or
the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral of
the Company, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the
Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties hereunder, or (iv) the failure by the
Company to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
(c) The
Collateral Agent and each Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect
to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither the
Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any
Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any
agent or nominee of the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party, or any income
thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other
rights pertaining thereto.
Section
9.
Reinstatement. This Security
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective
should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or
reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for
the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be
appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is,
pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be
restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a
“voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such
payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any
payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the
Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount
paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
Section
10.
Notices. Except as
otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided herein that any notice,
demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or
may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any other party, or
whenever any of the parties desires to give and serve upon any other party any
communication with respect to this Security Agreement, each such notice, demand,
request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be in
writing and shall in the case of the Company, be given in the manner, and deemed
received, as provided for in the Unit Notes.
14
Section
11. Severability. Whenever
possible, each provision of this Security Agreement shall be interpreted in a
manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Security Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable
law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining
provisions of this Security Agreement. This Security Agreement is to
be read, construed and applied together with the Note Documents, which, taken
together, set forth the complete understanding and agreement of the Collateral
Agent, the Secured Parties and the Company with respect to the matters referred
to herein and therein.
Section
12. No Waiver; Cumulative
Remedies; Amendments. Neither the
Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall by any act, delay, omission
or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder,
and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by the Collateral Agent
and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by the
Collateral Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not
be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Collateral Agent would
otherwise have had on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor
any delay in exercising on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured
Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and
remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or
concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by
law. None of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may
be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly
executed by the Collateral Agent and the Company. The Company and the
Collateral Agent may amend, modify, waive or supplement provisions of this
Security Agreement (a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency contained
herein, (b) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or
benefits to the holders of the Unit Notes or that does affect the legal rights
of any such holder under this Security Agreement, or (c) upon the written
consent of the Required Holders.
Section
13. Limitation By
Law. All rights,
remedies and powers provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to
the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision
of law, and all the provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be
subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling
and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this
Security Agreement invalid, or unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not
entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any
applicable law.
Section
14. Termination Of This Security
Agreement. Subject to Section 9 hereof,
this Security Agreement shall terminate upon the Termination Date.
15
Section
15. Successors And
Assigns. This Security
Agreement and all obligations of the Company hereunder shall be binding upon the
successors and assigns of the Company (including any debtor-in-possession on
behalf of the Company) and shall, together with the rights and remedies of the
Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured
Parties, hereunder, inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other
Secured Parties, all future holders of any instrument evidencing any of the
Secured Obligations and their respective successors and assigns. No
sales of participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other
dispositions of any agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Secured
Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner
impair the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, hereunder. the
Company may not assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any interest in
or obligation under this Security Agreement.
Section
16. Counterparts. This Security
Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each of which
shall collectively and separately constitute one agreement. This
Security Agreement may be executed by manual signature, facsimile or, if
approved in writing by the Collateral Agent, electronic means, all of which
shall be equally valid.
Section
17. Governing Law. IN ALL RESPECTS,
INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THIS SECURITY
AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN THAT STATE, AND ANY APPLICABLE
LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THE COMPANY HEREBY CONSENTS AND
AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW
YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK, SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE
ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THE COMPANY, THE COLLATERAL AGENT AND THE SECURED
PARTIES PERTAINING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS
OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF
THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS, PROVIDED, NOTHING IN
THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE THE COLLATERAL
AGENT FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION
TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO
ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE COLLATERAL
AGENT. THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO THE
JURISDICTION OF THE STATE COURTS OR THE FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE SOUTHERN
DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK, IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY
SUCH COURT, AND THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE BASED
UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY
CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED
APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE
OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT
AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINTS AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE
MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO THE COMPANY AT THE ADDRESS
PROVIDED THEREFOR IN THE UNIT NOTES, AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED
COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE (3) DAYS AFTER
DEPOSIT IN THE U.S. MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.
16
Section
18. Waiver Of Jury
Trial. BECAUSE DISPUTES
ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND
ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH
APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY, THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT DISPUTES
ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATING HERETO BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH
APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE
BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY
DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, AMONG THE COLLATERAL
AGENT, THE SECURED PARTIES, AND THE COMPANY ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH,
RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED IN CONNECTION WITH,
THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS
RELATED HERETO OR THERETO.
Section
19. Expenses. The Company
agrees to reimburse each of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties
for all reasonable, documented costs and expenses incurred by them (including,
without limitation, the reasonable, documented fees and expenses of one legal
counsel) in connection with (i) any Event of Default and any enforcement or
collection proceeding resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, all
manner of participation in or other involvement with (w) performance by the
Collateral Agent of any obligations of the Company in respect of the Collateral
that the Company has failed or refused to perform, (x) bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership, foreclosure, winding up or liquidation proceedings, or any actual
or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or
settlement in respect of any of the Collateral, and for the care of the
Collateral and defending or asserting rights and claims of the Collateral Agent
in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise, including expenses of insurance,
(y) judicial or regulatory proceedings and (z) workout, restructuring or other
negotiations or proceedings (whether or not the workout, restructuring or
transaction contemplated thereby is consummated) and (ii) the enforcement of
this Section
19, and all such costs and expenses shall be Secured Obligations entitled
to the benefits of the collateral security provided pursuant to Section
2.
Section
20. Section Titles. The Section
titles contained in this Security Agreement are and shall be without substantive
meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement
among the parties hereto.
Section
21. No Strict
Construction. The parties
hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this
Security Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent
or interpretation arises, this Security Agreement shall be construed as if
drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof
shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any
provisions of this Security Agreement.
17
Section
22. Advice Of
Counsel. Each of the
parties represents to each other party hereto that it has discussed this
Security Agreement and, specifically, the provisions of Section 17 and Section 18, with its
counsel.

Parties. All Liens granted or contemplated hereby shall be for the
benefit of the Collateral Agent, individually, and the Secured Parties, and all
proceeds or payments realized from Collateral in accordance herewith shall be
