SECTION 2.06. Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest. (a) Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have notified the Company that the rights of the Grantors under this Section 2.06 are being suspended:
(i) Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Securities or any part thereof for any purpose consistent with the terms of the Indenture, this Agreement and the other Security Documents; provided that such rights and powers shall not be exercised in any manner, except as may be expressly permitted under the Indenture, this Agreement or the other Security Documents, that would materially and adversely affect the rights inuring to a holder of any Pledged Securities or the rights and remedies of any of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties under the Indenture, this Agreement or any other Security Document or the ability of the Secured Parties to exercise the same.
11

(e) The material Article 9 Collateral is owned by the Grantors free and clear of any Lien, except for Liens permitted pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Indenture. None of the Grantors has filed or consented to the filing of (i) any financing statement or analogous document under the New York UCC or any other applicable United States laws covering any Article 9 Collateral, (ii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any
16
Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with the USPTO or the USCO or (iii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other office, which financing statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or similar instrument is still in effect, except, in each case, for Liens permitted pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Indenture.
SECTION 3.03. Covenants. (a) The Company agrees promptly (and in any event within 60 days of such change) to notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any change in (i) the legal name, (ii) the identity or type of organization or corporate structure, (iii) the jurisdiction of organization, (iv) the chief executive office or (v) the organizational identification number, of any Grantor. In addition, if any Grantor does not have an organizational identification number on the date hereof (or the date such Grantor becomes a party to this Agreement) and later obtains one, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within 60 days of such change) thereafter notify the Collateral Agent of such organizational identification number and shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to the extent necessary to maintain the security interests (and the priority thereof) of the Collateral Agent in the Article 9 Collateral intended to be granted hereby fully perfected and in full force and effect.
(b) Upon becoming aware of any defect in the security interests (and the priority thereof, except as expressly permitted pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Indenture) of the Collateral Agent in the Article 9 Collateral intended to be granted hereby, the Company agrees promptly (and in any event within 60 days of such knowledge) to notify the Collateral Agent in writing of such defect.
(c) Each year, at the time of delivery of annual financial statements with respect to the preceding fiscal year pursuant to Section 4.03 of the Indenture, the Company shall deliver to the Collateral Agent an updated Perfection Certificate executed by the chief financial officer or the chief legal officer of each of Holdings and the Company, setting forth any information required therein that has changed or confirming that there has been no change in such information since the date of such certificate or the date of the most recent certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 3.03(c) and certifying that all UCC financing statements, Intellectual Property Security Agreements and other appropriate filings, recordings or registrations have been filed of record in each governmental, municipal or other appropriate office in each jurisdiction necessary to protect and perfect the Security Interests and Liens in the United States under this Agreement.
(d) The Company agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Grantor, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions required from time to time to assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements (including fixture filings) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith.
17
(e) At its option, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Indenture, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Indenture or this Agreement and within a reasonable period of time after the Collateral Agent has requested that it do so, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent within 10 Business Days after demand for any payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, Grantors shall not be obligated to reimburse the Collateral Agent with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property which any Grantor has failed to maintain or pursue, or otherwise allowed to lapse, terminate or be put into the public domain, in accordance with Section 3.03(i)(ix). Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein, in the Indenture or in any other Security Document.
(f) If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Account Debtor or any other Person, the value of which is in excess of $10,000,000, to secure payment and performance of an Account, such Grantor shall promptly assign such security interest to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Such assignment need not be filed of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security interest.
(g) Each Grantor (rather than the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party) shall remain liable (as between itself and any relevant counterparty) to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Article 9 Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance.
(h) If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim with a value in excess of $10,000,000 and for which such Grantor (or predecessor in interest) has filed a complaint in a court of competent jurisdiction, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing signed by such Grantor of the brief details thereof and grant to the Collateral Agent a security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement pursuant to a document in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.
18
(i) Intellectual Property Covenants, Representations and Warranties:
(i) Other than to the extent permitted herein or in the Indenture or with respect to registration and applications no longer used, and except to the extent failure to act would not, as deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable business judgment, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, with respect to each Patent, Trademark or Copyright registration, issuance or pending application now or hereafter included in the Article 9 Collateral for which such Grantor has standing to do so, each Grantor agrees to (A) take, at its expense, all reasonable steps, including, without limitation, in the USPTO, the USCO and any other governmental authority located in the United States, to diligently pursue the registration and maintenance of each such Patent, Trademark, or Copyright registration or application and (B) not abandon any such application prior to exhaustion of all administrative and judicial remedies where reasonable to do so.

(iii) Other than as excluded or as permitted herein or in the Indenture, or with respect to Patents, Copyrights or Trademarks which are no longer used or useful in the Grantor’s business operations, or except where failure to do so would not, as deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable business judgment, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Grantor shall take all reasonable steps to preserve and protect each item of its Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, including, without limitation, maintaining the quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection with any of the Trademarks included in the Article 9 Collateral, consistent with the quality of the products and services as of the date hereof, taking all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that all licensed users of any of the Trademarks included in the Article 9 Collateral abide by the applicable license’s terms with respect to the standards of quality, using the Trademarks included in the Article 9 Collateral which are material to such Grantor’s business in interstate commerce during the time in which this Agreement is in effect and taking all reasonable steps to preserve such Trademarks under the laws of the relevant jurisdiction.

19
States issued patents and pending United States patent applications that such Grantor owns as of the date hereof, and (B) the Copyrights listed in the Perfection Certificate for such Grantor and that said Copyrights include all the United States copyrights registered with the USCO for material United States copyrights that such Grantor owns as of the date hereof.

Each Grantor represents and warrants that it is the lawful owner of all U.S. trademark registrations and applications and domain name registrations listed in the Perfection Certificate and that said registrations are subsisting and have not been canceled, and that such Grantor has not received any written third-party claim that any of said registrations is invalid or unenforceable, other than as would not, either individually or in the aggregate, in the Grantor’s reasonable opinion, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(vi) Each Grantor agrees, promptly upon learning thereof, to notify the Collateral Agent in writing of the name and address of, and to furnish such pertinent information that may be available with respect to, any party who such Grantor learns is likely to be infringing, contributorily infringing, actively inducing infringement, misappropriating or otherwise violating any of such Grantor’s rights in and to any Intellectual Property included in the Article 9 Collateral in any manner that would, in the Grantor’s reasonable opinion, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or with respect to any party claiming that such Grantor’s use of any Intellectual Property included in the Article 9 Collateral and material to such Grantor’s business violates in any material respect any property right of such party. Each Grantor further agrees to take appropriate actions diligently against, including, but not limited to, the prosecution of, in accordance with reasonable business practices, any Person infringing any Intellectual Property right included in the Article 9 Collateral in any manner that would, in the Grantor’s reasonable opinion, reasonably be expected to, either individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(ix) Nothing in this Agreement, in the Indenture or any other Security Document prevents any Grantor from disposing of, discontinuing the use or maintenance of, failing to pursue, or otherwise allowing to lapse, terminate or be put into the public domain, any of its Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property to the extent permitted by the Indenture if such Grantor determines in its reasonable business judgment that such action is desirable in the conduct of its business.
SECTION 3.04. Other Actions. In order to further insure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the Security Interest, each Grantor agrees, in each case at such Xxxxxxx’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Article 9 Collateral:
(a) Instruments. If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any Instruments constituting Article 9 Collateral and evidencing an amount in excess of $10,000,000, such Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request.
(b) Investment Property. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Article II, if any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities, such Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request. If any securities now or hereafter acquired by any Grantor are uncertificated and are issued to such Grantor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, following the occurrence of an Event of Default such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, at the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (i) cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Collateral Agent as to such securities, without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee, or (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the registered owner of such securities. If any securities, whether certificated or uncertificated, or other investment property are held by any Grantor or its nominee through a securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, following the occurrence of an Event of Default, such Grantor shall immediately notify the Collateral Agent thereof and at the
21
Collateral Agent’s request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent shall either (i) cause such securities intermediary or (as the case may be) commodity intermediary to agree to comply with entitlement orders or other instructions from the Collateral Agent to such securities intermediary as to such security entitlements, or (as the case may be) to apply any value distributed on account of any commodity contract as directed by the Collateral Agent to such commodity intermediary, in each case without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee, or (ii) in the case of financial assets or other Investment Property held through a securities intermediary, arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the entitlement holder with respect to such Investment Property, with the Grantor being permitted, only with the consent of the Collateral Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw or otherwise deal with such Investment Property. The Collateral Agent agrees with each of the Grantors that the Collateral Agent shall not give any such entitlement orders or instructions or directions to any such issuer, securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, and shall not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by any Grantor, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any financial assets credited to a securities account for which the Collateral Agent is the securities intermediary.
ARTICLE IV
Remedies
SECTION 4.01. Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the Obligations under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law and also may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) occupy any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted, leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to or promptly after such occupancy; (iii) declare the entire right, title, and interest of such Grantor in each of the Patents, Trademarks, domain names and Copyrights included in the Article 9 Collateral vested in the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (in which event such right, title, and interest shall immediately vest in the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to exercise the power of attorney referred to below in Section 4.03 hereof to execute, cause to be acknowledged and notarized and to record said absolute assignment with the applicable agency); (iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to or promptly after such exercise; and (v) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law and the notice requirements described below,
22
sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral securing the Obligations at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Grantors agree to execute such further documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to transfer ownership of the Patents, Trademarks, domain names and Copyrights included in the Article 9 Collateral to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.
The Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Grantors 10 days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. 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 (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of 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 the Collateral Agent shall not 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 law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any 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 claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms
23
of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any 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 the Obligations paid in full. 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 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.
Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) during the continuance of an Event of Default and after notice to the Company of its intent to exercise such rights, for the purpose of (i) making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance, and (ii) making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto.
SECTION 4.02. Application of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, in accordance with Section 6.10 of the Indenture.
(a) The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement and the Indenture. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.
(b) In making the determinations and allocations required by this Section 4.02, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon information supplied by the Collateral Agent as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Obligations, and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such information, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error), and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by the Collateral Agent of any amounts distributed to it. It is understood and agreed that the Grantors shall remain jointly and severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Obligations.
24
SECTION 4.03. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property; Power of Attorney. For the exclusive purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, effective upon the occurrence of, and at all times during the continuance of, an Event of Default, a non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, limited license (until the termination or cure of the Event of Default) to use, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now or hereafter owned or licensed by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and 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 software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.03 shall require Grantors to grant any license that is prohibited by any rule of law, statute or regulation, or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing, giving rise to or theretofore granted, to the extent permitted by the Indenture, with respect to such property or otherwise unreasonably prejudices the value thereof to the relevant Grantor; provided, further, that (a) such licenses to be granted hereunder with respect to Trademarks shall be subject to the maintenance of quality standards with respect to the goods and services on which such Trademarks are used sufficient to preserve the validity of such Trademarks, and (b) such licenses to be granted hereunder with respect to trade secrets shall be subject to the Secured Parties taking reasonable steps to maintain such trade secrets under applicable law and to preserve the secrecy thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the use of such license by the Collateral Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent, only during the continuation of an Event of Default. Furthermore, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an absolute power of attorney to sign, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any document which may be required by the USPTO or the USCO in order to effect an absolute assignment of all right, title and interest in each Patent, Trademark or Copyright included in the Article 9 Collateral, and to record the same.
ARTICLE V
Indemnity, Subrogation and Subordination
SECTION 5.01. Indemnity. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Grantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 5.03), the Company agrees that, in the event any assets of any Grantor shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Security Document to satisfy in whole or in part an Obligation owed to any Secured Party, the Company shall indemnify such Grantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.
25
SECTION 5.02. Contribution and Subrogation. Each Grantor (a “Contributing Party”) agrees (subject to Section 5.03) that, in the event assets of any other Grantor shall be sold pursuant to any Security Document to satisfy any Obligation owed to any Secured Party, and such other Grantor (the “Claiming Party”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the Company as provided in Section 5.01, the Contributing Party shall indemnify the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Contributing Parties together with the net worth of the Claiming Party on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Grantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 6.15, the date of the Security Agreement Supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Grantor). Any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party to the extent of such payment.
SECTION 5.03. Subordination. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Grantors under Sections 5.01 and 5.02 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations, provided that if any amount shall be paid to such Grantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the irrevocable payment in full in cash of all the Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Collateral Agent to be credited and applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with Section 6.10 of the Indenture. No failure on the part of the Company or any Grantor to make the payments required by Sections 5.01 and 5.02 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Grantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Grantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Grantor hereunder.
ARTICLE VI
Miscellaneous
SECTION 6.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 13.01 of the Indenture. All communications and notices hereunder to any Grantor shall be given to it in care of the Company as provided in Section 13.01 of the Indenture.
SECTION 6.02. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or under the Indenture shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and any other Secured Party hereunder and under the Indenture are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 6.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle any Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
26
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Article 9 of the Indenture.
SECTION 6.03. Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses. (a) The parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 7.06 of the Indenture if named therein.
(b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Indenture, the Company agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent and the other Indemnitees against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to the Indenture or this Agreement or any of the foregoing agreements or instruments contemplated hereby, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses 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 Indemnitee or of any director, officer or employee thereof.
(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions of this Section 6.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement, the Indenture or any other Security Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement, the Indenture or any other Security Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 6.03 shall be payable within 10 days of written demand therefor.
SECTION 6.04. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Collateral Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns, to the extent permitted under Article 5 of the Indenture.
27
SECTION 6.05. Survival of Agreement. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in the Indenture or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party, regardless of any investigation made by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Obligation under the Indenture or any Security Document shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.
SECTION 6.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Successors and Assigns; Several Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile transmission or other electronic communication of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. The Collateral Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by facsimile transmission or other electronic communication be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by facsimile transmission or other electronic communication. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns permitted thereby, and shall inure to the benefit of such Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns permitted thereby, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Indenture. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.
SECTION 6.07. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, any other Security Document or the Indenture is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Security Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 6.08. [Reserved].

EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THE INDENTURE OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THE INDENTURE, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 6.10 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
SECTION 6.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
29
SECTION 6.12. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Security Interest, the grant of a security interest in the Collateral and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Indenture, any agreement with respect to any of the 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 Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Indenture 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 Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement.
SECTION 6.13. [Reserved].
SECTION 6.14. Termination or Release.

(b) A Grantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the Security Interest in the Collateral of such Grantor shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Indenture as a result of which such Grantor ceases to be a Subsidiary or is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary of Company in accordance with the Indenture.
(c) Upon any disposition by any Grantor of any Collateral that is not prohibited by the Indenture or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 10.04 of the Indenture, the security interest of such Grantor in such Collateral shall be automatically released.
(d) A Grantor (other than Holdings and the Company) shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the Security Interest in the Collateral of such Grantor shall be automatically released if such Grantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 6.14 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.
30
(f) At any time that the respective Grantor desires that the Collateral Agent take any action described in the immediately preceding paragraph (e), it shall, upon request of the Collateral Agent, deliver to the Collateral Agent an officer’s certificate certifying that the release of the respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d). The Collateral Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Secured Party or any other Person as a result of any release of Collateral in reliance on such certificate.
SECTION 6.15. Additional Grantors. If at any time a Subsidiary of the Company executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to the Indenture to become a Guarantor in accordance with Section 4.17 of the Indenture, contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of any such supplemental indenture, such Subsidiary shall execute and deliver a Security Agreement Supplement in the form of Exhibit I hereto by the Collateral Agent and such Subsidiary. Upon such execution and delivery, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 6.16. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof at any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which appointment is irrevocable (until termination of the Indenture) and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and notice by the Collateral Agent to the Company of its intent to exercise such rights, with full power of substitution either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (d) to send verifications of Accounts to any Account Debtor; (e) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (f) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (g) to notify, or to require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent; (h) subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, to make, settle and adjust claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, including endorsing the name of any Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance, making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto and obtaining or maintaining the policies of insurance or paying any premium in whole or in part relating thereto; and (i) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with
31
respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct or that of any of their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents or attorneys-in-fact, in each case as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this paragraph, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, within 10 days of demand, by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Obligations secured hereby.
SECTION 6.17. General Authority of the Collateral Agent. By acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and any other Security Documents, each Secured Party (whether or not a signatory hereto) shall be deemed irrevocably (a) to consent to the appointment of the Collateral Agent as its agent hereunder and under such other Security Documents, (b) to confirm that the Collateral Agent shall have the authority to act as the exclusive agent of such Secured Party for the enforcement of any provisions of this Agreement and such other Security Documents against any Grantor, the exercise of remedies hereunder or thereunder and the giving or withholding of any consent or approval hereunder or thereunder relating to any Collateral or any Grantor’s obligations with respect thereto, (c) to agree that it shall not take any action to enforce any provisions of this Agreement or any other Security Document against any Grantor, to exercise any remedy hereunder or thereunder or to give any consents or approvals hereunder or thereunder except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Security Document and (d) to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any other Security Documents.
SECTION 6.18. Recourse; Limited Obligations. This Agreement is made with full recourse to each Grantor and pursuant to and upon all the warranties, representations, covenants and agreements on the part of such Grantor contained herein, in the Indenture and otherwise in writing in connection herewith or therewith. It is the desire and intent of each Grantor and the Secured Parties that this Agreement shall be enforced against each Grantor to the fullest extent permissible under the laws applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and in furtherance of the foregoing, it is noted that the obligations of each Grantor that is a Guarantor have been limited as expressly provided in the Guarantee and are limited hereunder as and to the same extent provided therein.

SECTION 7.01. Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control. The Collateral Agent, in its capacity as an Additional Senior Class Debt Representative (under and as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), and each Secured Party, by its acceptance hereof, acknowledges and agrees that upon the Additional Senior Class Debt Representative’s entry into the Intercreditor Joinder Agreement, the Additional Senior Class Debt Representative and each Secured Party will be subject to and bound by the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement as Additional First-Lien Secured Parties (as defined therein).

SECTION 7.03. Delivery of Collateral. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to the Discharge of Credit Agreement Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), to the extent any Grantor is required hereunder to indorse, assign or deliver Collateral to the Collateral Agent for any purpose and is unable to do so as a result of having previously indorsed, assigned or delivered such Collateral to the Applicable Collateral Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, such Grantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such indorsement, assignment or delivery shall be deemed satisfied by the indorsement, assignment or delivery in favor of or to the Applicable Collateral Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), acting as a gratuitous bailee of the Collateral Agent.
