With respect to any Pledged Collateral constituting Uncertificated Securities, upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, it shall cause the issuer thereof either (i) to register the Collateral Agent as the registered owner of such Uncertificated Security, upon original issue or registration of transfer or (ii) to promptly (but in any event within 30 days of such request) agree in writing with such Grantor and the Collateral Agent that such issuer will comply with instructions originated by the Collateral Agent with respect to such Uncertificated Security without further consent of such Grantor, such agreement to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

(vii)

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, without notice to the Grantors, to (A) transfer all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral to its name or the name of its nominee or agent and (B) exchange any certificates or Instruments representing any Investment Property for certificates or Instruments of smaller or larger denominations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any Deposit Account Control Agreement, Control Account Agreement or elsewhere, the Collateral Agent agrees not to deliver any notice of exclusive control (or equivalent) or similar instructions to any relevant depositary institution, Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary (as applicable) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.


(e)	Voting and Distributions


(i)	So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(A)

except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.7 or elsewhere herein or in the Credit Agreement, each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise or refrain from exercising any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents; unless the result thereof could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the rights and remedies of any of the Secured Parties under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or the ability of the Secured Parties to exercise the same;

(B)

the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to each Grantor all proxies and other instruments as such Grantor may from time to time reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights when and to the extent that it is entitled to exercise the same pursuant to clause (f)(i)(A) above and to receive the cash Dividends that it is entitled to receive pursuant to clause (f)(i)(C) below; and

(C)

each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all cash Dividends, interest, principal, distributions, Securities or other property paid on the Pledged Collateral to the extent and only to the extent that such cash Dividends, interest, principal, distributions, Securities or other property are permitted by, and otherwise paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable loans. All noncash Dividends, interest, principal, distributions, Securities or other property, and all Dividends, interest, principal, distributions, Securities or other property paid or payable in cash or otherwise in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution, return of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, and all other distributions (other than distributions referred to in the preceding sentence) made on or in respect of the Pledged Collateral, whether paid or payable in cash or otherwise, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Stock of the issuer of any Pledged Collateral or received in exchange for Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Collateral without any further action. Such Grantor shall take all steps, if any, necessary or reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to ensure that the Collateral Agent obtains a valid and perfected security interest in and, if applicable, "control" (as defined in Article 8 or Article 9 of the UCC, as

applicable) over such noncash Dividends, interest, principal, distributions, Securities or other property (including delivery thereof to the Collateral Agent (or its agent or designee)) and pending any such action such Grantor shall be deemed to hold such noncash Dividends, interest, principal, distributions, Securities or other property in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and, to the extent necessary to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of the Security Interest in such property shall be segregated from all other property of such Grantor.


(ii)	Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(A)

all rights of the Grantors to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that they would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights; provided that, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall have the right from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to exercise such rights;

(B)

in order to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all Dividends, interest and other distributions that it may be entitled to receive hereunder: (1) the Grantors shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent (or its agent or designee) all proxies, Dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (2) each Grantor acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may utilize the power of attorney set forth in Section 6.1; and


(C)	all rights of the Grantors to Dividends, interest or principal that any Grantor is authorized to receive pursuant to clause (f)(i)(C) above shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such Dividends, interest or principal.

After all Event of Defaults have been cured or waived or the underlying notice (if applicable) has been rescinded, each Grantor will have the right to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of clause (f)(i) above.


Section 4.8	Intellectual Property

(a)

In the case of any Collateral (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) consisting of registrations of or applications for U.S. Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent short-form security agreements substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1, Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3 (each, an "Intellectual Property Security Agreement") covering all such Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights, respectively, in appropriate form for recordation with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office with respect to the Security Interest of the Collateral Agent.

(b)

In the event that any Grantor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, files or acquires a registration of or application for any U.S. Patent, Trademark or Copyright with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any office or agency in any state or political subdivision of the United States, such Grantor shall (i)(A) with respect to such U.S. Patents and Trademarks, notify the Collateral Agent of such filing or acquisition by the end of the fiscal quarter in which such filing or acquisition occurred and (B) with respect to such U.S. Copyrights, notify the Collateral Agent of such filing or acquisition by the end of the calendar month in which such filing or acquisition occurred and (ii) deliver to the Collateral Agent a completed Security Supplement no later than forty-five (45) days after the end of the fiscal quarter in which such Grantor filed or acquired such registration or application, and, in each case, shall execute and deliver any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Collateral Agent's Security Interest in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright, including an Intellectual Property Security Agreement.

(c)

Each Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts so as not to permit the inclusion in any Contract to which it hereafter becomes a party of any provision that could or may in any way materially impair or prevent the creation of a security interest in, or the assignment of, such Grantor's rights and interests in any material Intellectual Property acquired under such Contract, other than customary provisions restricting assignment of, or sublicensing under, any licensing agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business.

(e)

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals by the licensor under each Copyright License, Patent License, Trademark License or Trade Secret License to effect the assignment of all of such Grantor's right, title and interest thereunder to the Collateral Agent or its designee.


Section 4.9	Covenants in Credit Agreement

Each Grantor shall take, or refrain from taking, as the case may be, each action that is necessary to be taken or not taken, so that no breach of the covenants in the Credit Agreement pertaining to actions to be taken, or not taken, by such Grantor will result.

SECTION 5

FURTHER ASSURANCES; ADDITIONAL GRANTORS


Section 5.1	Further Assurances

(a)

Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it shall promptly execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent (or its agent or designee) all further instruments and documents and take all further action that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any Security Interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Collateral Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Grantor shall:

(i)

execute, acknowledge, deliver or cause to be duly filed (as applicable) all such further instruments, documents, endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, and take all such actions as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary (by notice to such Grantor) or from time to time reasonably request, to 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 Interests and the filing of any financing statements (including fixture filings) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith;

(ii)

take all actions the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary (by notice to such Grantor) or from time to time reasonably request, to ensure the recordation of appropriate evidence of the Security Interest granted hereunder in the Intellectual Property owned by the Grantor with any Intellectual Property Registry in which said Intellectual Property is registered or in which an application for registration is pending; and


(iii)	at the Collateral Agent's request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect such Grantor's title to or the Collateral Agent's Security Interests in all or any part of the Collateral.

(b)

All instruments, agreements or other documents executed, authorized or delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(a) shall contain terms and conditions no more onerous or burdensome with respect to any Grantor than the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent, with notice thereof to such Grantor, to supplement this Agreement by supplementing the schedules hereto or adding additional schedules hereto to identify specifically any asset or item of Collateral that constitutes Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks or any exclusive inbound

licenses to the foregoing; provided, however, that such Grantor shall have the right, exercisable within ten Business Days after notice by the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral, to advise the Collateral Agent in writing of any inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by such Grantor hereunder with respect to such Collateral (in which event such inaccuracy shall be deemed to be corrected).

(c)

Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent, at the expense of the Grantor, to file a Record or Records, including financing statements, continuation statements and, in each case, amendments thereto, in all United States jurisdictions and with all filing offices as the Collateral Agent may determine, in its reasonable discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect (or release) the Security Interest granted to the Collateral Agent herein, without the signature of such Grantor. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of the Collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Collateral Agent may determine, in its reasonable discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the Security Interest in the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent herein, including describing such property as "all assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired" or "all personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired" or words of similar import. The Collateral Agent agrees to make available copies of all such Records to the applicable Grantor upon the recordation thereof by each applicable filing office. Each Grantor agrees that a photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement and may be filed as a financing statement in the jurisdictions listed in Schedule 3.3 hereto.


Section 5.2	Additional Grantors

From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional persons may become parties hereto as additional Grantors (each, an "Additional Grantor") by executing a Joinder Agreement. Upon delivery of any such Joinder Agreement to the Collateral Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by the Grantors, each Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder, nor by any election of the Collateral Agent not to cause any Subsidiary to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.

SECTION 6

COLLATERAL AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT


Section 6.1	Power of Attorney

Each Grantor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all duly authorized officers or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantor's true and lawful agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, the Collateral Agent or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent's reasonable discretion, to take any and all actions and to execute any and all instruments and documents that the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including but not limited to the following:


(a)	upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing,


(i)	to receive, endorse, assign, collect and deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other instruments, documents and Chattel Paper or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral;


(ii)	to ask for, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral;

(iv)	to send verifications of Accounts Receivable or Contracts to any Account Debtor or parties to the Contracts, as applicable;


(v)	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;


(vi)	to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any claims, actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral;


(vii)	to notify and direct, or to require such Grantor to notify and direct, Account Debtors or parties to the Contracts to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct;


(viii)	to exercise the right to vote the Pledged Stock, Pledged LLC Interests and Pledged Partnership Interests, and all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of such Pledged Collateral would be entitled (including without limitation giving or withholding written consents of

stockholders, calling special meetings of stockholders and voting at such meetings), with full power of substitution to do so; and such proxy shall be effective automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Stock, Pledged LLC Interests or Pledged Partnership Interests on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any Person (including the issuer of the Pledged Stock, Pledged LLC Interests or Pledged Partnership Interests, or any officer or agent thereof);


(ix)	to collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made on the Pledged Stock, Pledged LLC Interests or Pledged Partnership Interests;


(x)	to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral;

(xiii)

generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Collateral Agent's option and such Grantor's expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the Collateral Agent deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent's Security Interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do, and


(b)	to prepare, execute and file Records (including UCC financing statements) as further described in Section 5.1(c).


Section 6.2	No Duty on the Part of Collateral Agent or Secured Parties

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, 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, and no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof shall give rise to any defense, counterclaim or offset in favor of any Grantor or to any claim or action against the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents. It is understood and agreed that the appointment of the Collateral Agent as the agent and attorney-in-fact of each Grantor for the purposes set forth above is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable as to each Grantor until this Agreement is terminated and all Security Interests created hereby with respect to the Collateral of such Grantor are released. The provisions of this Section 6.2 shall in no event relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents to proceed in any particular manner with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof, or in any way limit the exercise by the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents of any other or further right that it may have on the date of this Agreement or hereafter, whether hereunder, under any other Loan Document, by law or otherwise. 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, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Grantors for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.


Section 6.3	Authority, Immunities and Indemnities of Collateral Agent

Each Grantor acknowledges, and, by acceptance of the benefits hereof, each Secured Party agrees, that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as among the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and that the Collateral Agent shall have, in respect thereof, all rights, remedies, immunities and indemnities granted to it in the Credit Agreement. By acceptance of the benefits hereof, each Secured Party that is not a Lender agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Credit Agreement applicable to the Collateral Agent, including Article IX thereof, as fully as if such Secured Party were a Lender. The Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

SECTION 7

REMEDIES


Section 7.1	Remedies Upon Event of Default


(a)	Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it at law or in

equity, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or any other applicable law, and without limiting the foregoing, also may pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously:

(i)

with respect to any Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, each Grantor shall (A) execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an assignment or assignments in favor of the Collateral Agent, its designee or in blank, of such Grantor's rights in any such Collateral, in recordable form with respect to those items of such Collateral consisting of registered or applied-for Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights, and such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes hereof and/or (B) license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any such Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be obtained);


(ii)	require a Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and promptly 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 to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties;


(iii)	with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Collateral and to enter without breach of the peace any premises owned or leased by the Grantors where the Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Collateral;


(iv)	prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Collateral Agent deems appropriate;

(v)

exercise dominion and control over, issue a notice of exclusive control with respect to and refuse to permit further withdrawals (whether of money, securities, instruments or other property) from any Cash Collateral Account maintained with the Collateral Agent constituting part of the Collateral, it being acknowledged by the Collateral Agent that a notice of exclusive control will be issued by the Collateral Agent only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default;


(vi)	without prior notice except as specified below, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private

sale or at any broker's board or on any securities exchange, at any of the Collateral Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem reasonable; provided that (A) the Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale (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, (B) 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, (C) each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and (D) each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal that 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;


(vii)	with respect to any Collateral consisting of contracts or agreements, the Collateral Agent may notify or require a Grantor to notify any counterparty to such contract or agreement to make all payments thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent; and


(viii)	each Grantor hereby agrees to cause the issuer of any Pledged Collateral to reflect the right of the Collateral Agent to vote such Pledged Collateral in the applicable books and records of such Grantor (including any share register of such Grantor).

(b)

The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any sale thereof and the Collateral Agent, as collateral agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale.

(c)

Each Grantor hereby waives notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made. To the extent such notice may not be waived under the UCC or other applicable law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to such Grantor or the Borrower, addressed as set forth in the notice provisions of the Credit Agreement, at least ten days prior to (i) the date of any such public sale or (ii) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. 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 during 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. 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 the Grantors shall not 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 Secured 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 upon the Collateral 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. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.

(d)

If the Proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the entire outstanding amount of the Secured Obligations, the Grantors shall be jointly and severally liable for deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantors, and the Grantors hereby waive and agree not to assert any defenses in an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no defense that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing under the Credit Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder.


(e)	The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.


(f)	The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.


Section 7.2	Intellectual Property

For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 7.1 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 an irrevocable (during the term of this Agreement), non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of such Trademarks, to use or otherwise exploit, including the right to grant sublicenses, any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned, used or held for use or hereafter acquired 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. For the sake of clarity, any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in accordance with this Section 7.2 shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent rescission or cure of an Event of Default or the termination of this Agreement.


Section 7.3	Application of Proceeds

At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Collateral Agent, or, if and whenever any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not held in any Cash Collateral Account, any Securities Account or any Deposit Account, and any proceeds of the guarantee as set forth in Section 8.02 of the Credit Agreement.


Section 7.4	Securities Act, Etc.

(a)

Each Grantor understands that compliance with United States federal securities laws, including but not limited to the Securities Act, might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Collateral Agent if the Collateral Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Collateral Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable "blue sky" laws or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Each Grantor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Collateral Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Collateral, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale

thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion exercised in good faith, (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under United States federal securities laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section 7.4 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices might exceed substantially the price at which the Collateral Agent sells.

(b)

If the Collateral Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant to Section 7.1, and if in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent it is necessary or advisable to have the sale of the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor will use commercially reasonable efforts (i) to cause the issuer thereof to execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent, necessary or advisable to register the sale of Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of six months from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold and (iii) to make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such issuer to comply with the provisions of the applicable "blue sky" laws or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect of any and all jurisdictions which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.


(c)	Each Grantor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant hereto valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable laws. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause

irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantors, and the Grantors hereby waive and agree not to assert any defenses in an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing under the Credit Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder.

SECTION 8

STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM

The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Grantors or otherwise.

(a)

This Agreement, the Security Interest and all other security interests granted hereby shall terminate when all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) have been paid in full (or, in the case of Secured Swap Agreements, cash collateralized in a manner, and pursuant to documentation, satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and all Commitments and New Commitments have terminated or expired.
